AI: Transcript ©
Brothers and sisters, Assalamu alaikum
and welcome to our 37th
lesson
of the removal of the doubts
with our honorable Sheikh
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
today is the
removal of doubts.
This beautiful book by Sheikh Samujaedidiliram,
Muhammadujahedidiliram.
And
the Sheikh is still continuing here,
refuting
the doubts and clarifying the doubts
of those
who oppose his dua.
So the shubhash they have, the doubt they
have, which is the Sheikh is going to
address. He
said, You see the sheikh, he
quotes their doubts. He mentions what is the
what is the doubt, and then he clarifies
it.
So if someone is sincere
and, seeking the hat,
we accept the truth.
If someone is worshiping his own
power, his own
whims and desires,
no matter what you
what you prove to him
and how
powerful and strong
your
proofs and your argument,
that will not affect him because his his
heart is already
saturated
and filled
with doubts.
And
once the Hawa
dominates
your being
and controls you,
you don't see the light, and you don't
see the truth at all.
Don't you see
that the Musharik
at the time of the prophet,
he showed them the moon.
Said you want to sign, look at the
moon, and the moon split.
Did they believe? No.
So there are some people, their house are
sealed.
K?
And that you can do nothing about it.
And there are people who are confused at
the moment that they
see the hack
and their doubts are removed,
they come back and accept the truth.
So the other is saying
they have another doubt here.
Because you see their hearts are teeming with
doubts.
Why? Because they open their hearts with the
shaitan
to fill their heart with the doubts.
And the moment
should not do that,
should not give the shaitan
a chance
to fill his heart with the seeds of
doubt.
That's why my dear brothers and sisters, our
forefathers and salaf,
Rahim,
they would not sit with the people of
doubt.
They call them Ahlul Ahwa, the people of
innovations,
people who are following their.
People are following their own
desires.
They don't sit with them,
and they do not allow their students to
sit with them.
And they will not allow them also to
sit in their study circles.
As I mentioned to you many times,
when
a group
of those deviant groups
came
to Hassan Ambassador Alekhem in one of his
circles.
They said, well, I want to read some
Ayat
to you.
Said, no.
I'm not allowed you.
Even half an eye because he knew what
they are going to read.
They're not going to read Ayat
and equivocal verses. No?
They will read with a quizzical verses
to confuse those in the circle.
They
said we are going to read
and say no.
Leave my circle
because he knew
their plan is to confuse and put the
seeds of doubt
into the minds of the
students.
And that's why my advice for you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
is to stay away
from the forms of the people
of misguidance.
Don't go
and visit
their websites
or watch their talks and lectures
in YouTube and other places.
For the time being,
when you are in the phase of building
your knowledge,
you are not qualified
yet.
Your iman is not solid yet,
and you are not able to
discern and see and distinguish
between what is right and what is wrong.
So you will be confused.
So
focus on building up your knowledge,
take the right knowledge,
the knowledge which is based on the guitar
and sunnah.
Because if you keep
listening to everyone
and hear all of these doubts,
these doubts, some of them, they
enter your heart
and they
never come out,
and you'll be suffering.
So this is my advice for you, my
dear brothers and sisters.
Now
when you
hear such a thing,
you don't know what to do, whether to
cry, whether to laugh.
Because
a small boy
who grew
up upon the 2 heat,
he will
refute them and answer
their question and refute to their Chuba.
A layman from the people of Tawhid
will defeat one of their top scholars.
True.
Because they don't know the to hate.
They think, but they don't know. And what
the part of the to hate, they know
is the ruble. Yeah. That's it.
And had they known it very well,
they would have
worshiped Allah alone because their evil will be
a
entails and necessitates
to worship Allah.
If Allah is your creator, he's the one
who who benefits, he's the one who has
everything in his hand. So why do you
call other them if you really believe that
Allah is another?
Abba
okay. All benefits come from him.
Harms
nothing can harm you without his,
leave, his permission.
So why do you call others then and
fear others?
So
the meaning of this Shubhai
so they what they are saying here,
they are quoting the Hadith of the Shafaa,
their non Hadith and Bukhari and other books
of the sunnah.
You see, because they just want to find
any evidence
to justify what they are upon.
So they are not looking for the hack
or Allah show us the the truth. No.
They they they remain in what they are,
what they have, what they are upon. They
remain on on that,
and then they try to look for
any evidence
either in the Quran or in the Sunnah
to support
their beliefs.
So they are not ready to accept
any evidence
that tells them what you are upon is
wrong.
See, this is the situation.
We are on the hack. That's how they
they
they view themselves.
What we are upon is the hack,
and now they just look for any evidence
that will support what they are
upon. So they look and go and search.
For example,
you remember in the last session when we
mentioned
the
Hanif and the prophet just the Sahaba and
told them,
I do not fear
that you will commit shirk.
It's not the shirk that I fear most
for you. What I fear most for you
is the dunya. They say, you see?
There's no shift in the Muslim Ummah.
From this hadith,
you cross out
all the other narrations,
the explicit
narrations
that state explicitly that this woman will commit
check.
You trust all that?
And consider this
statement of the prophet
that
there's no sheep in the Ummah.
So then you are the ones that Allah
talked about. Those who have disease in their
heart,
those are the disease in their heart.
They follow them with the and they leave
the.
They leave the clear cut,
and they follow any text that is doubtful,
but can be needs explanation
and elaboration.
Then when you read the hadith that the
prophet is talking to the Sahaba.
So it's not a general text. This is
the saying.
It's
a general text, but they did.
Apparently general, but
its meaning is specific,
addressing the Sahara.
And there are many
similar cases in the Quran.
We know
It is incumbent upon mankind
to visit the house of Allah.
Is it incumbent upon the kuffar
or upon the Muslims?
About
the
Muslims,
of
course.
And this, of course, is regarding the battle
of Ored.
That was Oraz left.
Then they decided they wanted to come back,
and they told the man,
okay, shred the rumor that we are coming
back to wipe them out.
So the man who came with the news
is 1, and the law called them, and
they must mankind,
and he meant only 1.
So any person who has disease in his
heart,
he just wants to look for any
evidence whether it is
come can support this argument or not, it
doesn't matter to him.
So here, they are quoting the hadith
of
the shafar.
Okay?
You know that, the people in the day
of resurrection,
when the sun is above their heads,
it's a
a very scary day, long day.
So the people they
come to the prophets and messengers of Allah
asking them to ask Allah
to hasten the process and the issue the
the process of reckoning
and,
questioning.
So the mention of the the Hadith of
that, of the Shafa'a,
the people that come to Adam,
then
Nur,
then Ibrahim, then Musa alaihi salaam, then Isa
alaihi salaam,
and all of them will give some type
of excuse
until finally they reach the prophet.
And the prophet said, yes. I will do
that.
I will ask my lord
to commence
the hisar, the reckoning,
the process.
So they say that this is clear evidence,
and they see how they this is clear
evidence
that seeking help from other than Allah is
not considered shirk because they are
asking help from
from the prophets.
And if they ask them very simple questions,
were the prophets present or absent?
Tell us.
They asked
the
prophets and messengers.
And they asked them, were the prophets and
messengers present
or absent?
The answer is very obvious.
They came to them,
so they were present.
And who said that you cannot ask help
from someone,
okay,
who can hear you, who can help you?
No one
denies that.
But you see how
they
misconstrued
the text.
They give the impression
that
okay, of those who call to the to
read, they deny this.
They deny it.
No one denies that.
No one denies that
you can seek help from someone who's able
to help you,
who can hear you,
and who can give you a hand.
No one talks about
that. No one argues about this.
But to ask someone who is absent
or someone who is unable,
that is the issue, to ask the dead.
When you ask Abi Kajid Jalani now,
Rahim Allah,
does he hear you?
The answer, no.
And if he say he hears me,
then you have given him an attribute of
Allah.
It's only Allah who hears everyone.
The dead, they do not hear. You
cannot make the dead hear hear
those who are in their graves.
And you are calling Abdi Khalili,
but on America, from Russia, from
Pakistan, from India, from England, from everywhere. Everyone
know Abdi father, Abdi father
is asking.
Does he hear all of them?
And he answers all their needs? That's only
a lot can do that.
So when you are
asking someone
who's dead,
you have given him divine attributes
and the the attributes of Allah.
And that is absolutely shirk
and major shirk
and takes one out of Islam
out of Islam.
So their response,
they said,
they battle
their reputation.
Well, Joab.
Response and our answer is to say glory
be to him
who put a seal
on the hearts of his enemies.
Their hearts are sealed, so they do not
hear, they do not see.
And nothing penetrates the heart.
The saying
to seeking help
from a servant, from a creature,
someone who's able
to help. We do not deny that.
We do not deny it.
So why do you make an issue of
it?
It's not an alias. It's not an issue
of dispute.
All. Now listen to this
reputation
carefully.
So the author say,
Surhana, how exalted is the one who has
sealed
the hearts of his enemies.
Their hearts are sealed.
He said,
we do not deny the legality
of seeking help from a created
object.
In matters that it is capable of
to ask someone
to help you.
There's nothing wrong with that. If this person
is able to help
you, and this is natural.
Someone is passing by you
and you need a hand. You need to
help me say, give me a hand.
Help me.
Someone is drowning,
and he saw someone
on
the shore.
So he's saying, crying. Help. Help.
That's
okay. And the proof of this
is the story of Musa al Salam al
Surat al Qasas,
I. E. 15.
As Allah says,
So this is the evidence
that you can seek help from someone who's
alive.
So I was seeing the service of the
Apostle's I 15.
One day he, Musa Alaihi Salam,
entered the city unnoticed
by its people.
They say because Musa Alaihi Salam started
arguing always with the with the Egyptians.
So he's not liked by them,
and they hate him.
So he entered the city
at noon, they say. People are taking rest.
He entered the city unnoticed
by its people.
Then he found 2 men fighting.
So Musa,
peasant,
saw 2 men fighting.
One of his own people,
Israelites,
and the other of his enemies, Egyptian.
The man from his people
called him for help
because he knows Musa alaihi salaam.
Musa alaihi salaam
very powerful, very strong.
Remember the story
when he
fled to Madyan, and he found the 2
girls, and he approached them.
And they said, the reason we are staying
away, waiting for the people to leave the
well, then we go and go to our
our sheep.
So they said he looked around. They found
another
well
covered with a lid, and that lid, only
a group of men can carry it. So
he took it by one hand and lifted
lifted it up,
and he dropped the buckets
and ray filled it with water and gave
it
to the sheep of the girls,
and they went back early.
And the follower asked them. They showed him
the story,
and when he said one of them
and invited him to come, I want to
reward him.
The girl
told her father,
hire him, my father. Hire him. Is that
give you
hire him.
Because he is powerful, he is strong,
and he is trustworthy
and mean, honest.
How did you know? They said he discovered
his about
his strength when he lifted the lid, the
cover.
His honesty and
modesty
when he told her walk behind me.
So here, the the,
the
Israelites,
when he saw Musa, to
him, this is a relief.
The man from his people called to him
for help against his foe, his enemy. So
Moses
punched him.
For
that means he gave him a fist like
this.
So Moses punched him
causing his death.
When he hit the guy,
the guy fell
fell down dead.
Moses cried.
This is from Satan's handiwork.
He is certainly
a sworn misleading enemy.
So to ask help from someone
who is present
can help you that is
permissible.
The prophet said and he told also the
Sahaba.
He told them,
the, part of the, he will come
from Yemen.
So when he comes, ask you whoever sees
him,
remember his name,
ask him to pray for you.
K?
Ask Allah ask
him to pray for you.
So say, now Umar used to keep asking.
Any delegation comes from Yemen.
Always.
Yes. So it now waits.
So the prophet told the Sahaba that this
man always
is so dutiful and obedient to his mother.
And his supplication,
Allah accepts.
So whoever meets him,
ask him to pray for him.
Should ask him to pray for you.
So you normally used to
keep asking
any delegation
until
one delegation just
always was there, and he asked him he
asked him to pray for him.
So it is permissible
to ask your brother to pray for me,
pray for my
daughter is sick, my son is sick. That's
okay. That's permissible.
That's permissible.
So
no one denies that.
And, also, the and
the person in the battlefield
or any other situation
seeks help from another
in matters
that can
he can do
and not
and they are not supernatural.
Something
thinks that are within his capacity,
not supernatural
or beyond the normal capabilities
of man that is permissible.
No one argues about this.
But what we disagree with,
what we object to is the
supernatural
help
to ask someone something
that no one
can do that
except Allah.
Now those who go to the tombs,
okay, a woman who is barren,
she can go to the doctor
and seek medical treatment. That's okay.
Maybe the halphallobian tubes
are blocked,
and she needs ovulation
So
that's her ovens, the eggs can can,
reach the the utils.
But to go to the saint so and
so
and say, oh, saint so and so bless
me with a child,
what the saint can do?
So to
ask people something supernatural,
no one can do that except Allah, then
that is shit.
So the supernatural
has
that is sought from other than Allah,
that is
totally prohibited, and that's what
the sheriff is against.
And the
advocates of Duhi
fight.
So the religious seeking of help
seeking help at the graves of the righteous.
Go and you see.
When you see go to these graves and
see what they are saying.
Say SubhanAllah,
if this is not Shirk, what is the
Shirk?
Crying, begging, please,
please, please
And they are
crying.
Or to ask
the someone in their absence,
even if he's alive, but he's absent,
Like many of the Soviets,
they teach
their muleeds,
their disciples,
their students,
when you are in trouble,
call me. I'll be there to help you.
How you'll be there to help me?
How?
You are in another country.
I have trouble. I say, oh, yes. So
and so help me, and you come and
help me? Yes.
And the poor
disciple
believes that,
and now he's in difficulty.
He needs help.
So he calls all my chef, and the
chef is there.
Yes. Yes. The chef is there
helping him.
Was it the chef? No. It was Chetan.
Chetan.
Chetan
appears
in the form of the sheikh
to help him.
So now the disciple believes that my sheikh,
I can call him anytime.
At the time of Abintay Mohammed,
2 men came and said, oh, Sheikh,
we were in trouble,
and we said, oh, I mean, tell me
you had us, and you came to us.
He told them, no. That was Shaitan.
The one who appeared to you was Shaitan
to make you believe
that they've been taking me. I can't help
you.
And this this
is
this is how the Shayatin
misleads the people.
They say, I was next to the
to the grave,
and the sheikh
spoke to me.
I heard him.
Well, he his hand came out from the
grave,
and they kissed it.
So was it the hand of the sheikh?
No.
The
Sheikh's body decayed.
So whose hand? Shaytan.
Whose voice? Shaytan.
That's why my dear brothers and sisters,
I recommend that you read
the beautiful book of Sheikh Islami Bentania.
Al Furqan.
Bayna Awwiyah Wohman, Awwiyah Shaitan.
It's there in Arabic on the net. It's
in English.
The criterion.
K? Between Allah's friends and the Satan's friends.
Read this book to know to see the
tricks of the shaytan.
I remember now maybe
almost more than 30 years
in the country,
they said the idols
were drinking milk.
So much so that there was short tea
of milk in the country.
The idol worshipers buying the milk and give
it to the idols
and the milk immediately
disappeared
disappeared because the idols were thirsty
for milk.
And the poor guys thought that the
the idols were drinking. So who was drinking?
Or who were drinking
the the milk? That's it.
Or you see sometimes
say they say,
my God, I saw the eyes of the
shade of the idol are moving
or talk to me. Oh, that stuff.
Oh, these are tricks of the.
Okay?
A man came to Sheikh Islami Ben Tamia,
and
he said, oh, Sheikh,
I'm a farmer and whenever
I enter my farm,
all the trees
are talking to me,
calling me, come, oh servant of Allah.
Pick the produce.
Take the fruit.
The shiad told him when you
next time when you enter your farm,
mention Allah
seek Allah's protection from the shiadid,
and
see what will happen.
So he entered his farm. He's
remembering Allah Azza wa Jal, seeking Allah's protection
from the shioteen.
The trees
remain quiet.
The shioteen,
ran away.
So here,
the shayef is saying the religious seeking of
help
that's done at the grace of the righteous
or in their absence.
You're calling your shit in his absence
concerning matters that none except Allah
has power to do.
That is totally prohibited and that is shirk.
That is is Sheikh.
That's what we are talking about. We're not
talking about someone in front of me who
can help me and to ask him for
help.
Then the other said,
once this is understood
and should be understood,
they realize that they have that they searched
from the prophets on the day of resurrection
is that they want them, the prophets. So
now the chef is explaining. He's saying, that
help,
which the people asked the prophet.
The prophets, they were in front of them.
They came to them.
So they asked the prophet
to
intercede,
to pray to Allah,
to speed up,
to hasten
the reckoning
so that the people of paradise
can be relieved from the agonies of that
day.
So you can see
the reputation
is very simple.
A layman
can confuse them.
Then the author said,
But to ask
someone
alive like
the,
the what the people will do in the
day of resurrection,
asking the prophet. So this type of asking,
it's allowed.
Admissible.
Not only in their next life, in this
world, in this junia,
and in the hereafter.
Someone in front of me that can help
me, you can ask
that you go to a righteous person
that is in front of you
and listen to you,
and then you ask him to pray for
you.
I see. Yeah. I have this problem, so
I need your duhah.
And that's why
you we pray for each other.
And when you pray for your brothers
in their absence,
I'm not an angel says, amen.
And for you the same
for you
the same.
And this what the companion used to do
with the prophet when
he was alive.
They would come to him, and
they asked him to pray for them.
Like,
the mother of Anas, he came to with
her son to the prophet and said, this
is your servant, Unais,
praying for him.
K.
The man came to the prophet
when he was giving the Khutba
as the sermon on Friday,
and he told him,
life is stuck, perished,
no rain.
So call Allah to send down the rain,
the prophet
raised his hand,
and there was no single cloud in the
sky.
And the prophet raised,
he didn't come down from his pulpit before
the rain started, and his
the drops of water
were falling off his beard,
and the rain continued for 1 week.
And the next week,
either the same man or another one when
the prophet
was given the, he said the same thing.
Our prophet of Allah,
the building started to
collapse
because of rain.
So ask Allah to hold it.
The prophet, he raised his hands,
and he used to do this in the
in the air.
And he was doing this.
And when he was moving his hand, the
the clouds in the sky
were departing,
moving apart from each other.
Or Allah send the rains on the outskirts
of Medina,
and they came out walking in a sunny
day.
So this is permissible.
The is
there.
So you ask him for dua. That's okay.
So the Sahaba, they used to come to
him and ask him to pray for them.
As Abu Hurayrah say,
oh prophet of Allah, pay for my mother.
K.
Someone is taking a shower.
He said, Abu Haraya,
hold on, don't enter.
He was taking a shower. Allah
accepted the Dua of the Prophet
and then he entered and she became a
Muslim.
That's okay. That's fine.
So during the lifetime of the prophet,
the Sahaba used to come
and pray,
ask him to pray for them. But after
the prophet
left this world,
none of the Sahaba
came to his grave
and asked
him to pray for them.
They didn't.
None of the Sahaba. None
because now they know
He's in another world. His life is different.
K?
Now his his life is different.
This is Barzakh life.
That's why when they had drought
during the reign of Sayidna Umar,
did they come to his grave
and ask him also,
prophet of Allah?
We have doubt,
pray for us,
or they went to an Abbas?
They went to Abbas.
Was Abbas dead or alive? Alive.
And then Abbas, he
led
the Salatas to star
prayer for rain,
and he prayed, and after a while, the
rain came down.
Why didn't they go to the grave? Because
they knew
it's not allowed.
And you are saying it is allowed to
ask the prophet.
So that means you know the dean better
than the Sahaba and better than Omar Ibn
Khattab himself.
Or they use fabricated
and weak narrations,
a blind man came
to the grave
and asked the and
Allah restored his sight.
That's not true
after his death.
Yes. During the lifetime of the Prophet
a blind man came,
and this is one of the miracles of
the Prophet and the Prophet
prayed
for him.
And he told the man, go and play
2 rakats
and ask her what.
So the both of them, the prophet prayed
for the man and the man also after
Allah.
And he
said
Allah will Allah accept
his intercession,
accept his supplication for me,
and the man
got his sight.
That was during
the life of the prophet,
but not after his
he left this world after his death.
After his death, many of the Sahaba, they
lost their sight,
and they know that incident.
And none of them
used the same dua
or came to the grave of the prophet
of Salem and prayed.
Even Abbas lost his sight and Naramat
lost his sight
because they knew that was something
happened for that person only.
But they use another narration. They say,
there was a skylight
in the in the room of the.
Okay?
And then they
they came to there was a drought, and
they came and they asked, and this is
in,
I think in,
in the student of,
y'all
remember. It's a weak hadith.
That he
made. It's a weak hadith.
So there's no
strong narration
that people came
to the grave of the prophet
and asked at
all.
So during his lifetime, yes.
But after his death,
you don't.
And you hear many stories
many stories by the Soviets.
Even the contemporary Soviets.
I don't want to mention names.
You can hear this on the YouTube.
They are talking. They're singing.
Our Sheikh so and so,
he came and he
mentioned the poem,
placing the puppet, and the
replied to
him. I did.
But they're saying, the
gave him his hand,
and he kissed it.
All this is nonsense.
So after
the the pops of Islam he left this
world,
cannot ask him.
It just should
because he
doesn't hear you.
And when you send the salaam,
when you say sala Allah Musa Allah Muhammad,
Allah conveys that through Malaika to him.
He doesn't hear you directly.
Angels,
they convey.
Yes, Salaam.
Angels.
And Allah give
restores the soul to the body.
So we have to differentiate
during his lifetime
and after his death, salaam.
After his death,
none of the Sahaba.
None.
Rather scholars
of the early generations,
scholars of the
of the Sahaba,
They would rebuke
those who used to pray to Allah at
his grave. They are not asking him. No.
Asking Allah, but they come close to the
grave.
So they used to warn them.
Then in Abidine, he saw a man coming
close to the grave.
He said there's no difference between you and
the one who is in the
in the Angeles or in the Far East.
Don't think that now you are very close.
Because the one who is in
in the West or in the East,
when he senses a lot of angels, they
convey.
So there's no need for you to get
close to the grave.
No need.
And you see those
service
when they come to Medina,
and the way they they behave, it's amazing.
Do you think that is love? No.
It's not love.
The true love of the is to follow
his and not to,
innovate.
The Sahaba,
they will not go to the grave
every time they enter the Masjid.
Only if they one anyone of them
traveled
when he comes back from a journey,
he will
come and give salaam to the prophet and
Abu Bakr and Umar, as ibn Umar used
to do that. But
Not every time they enter the message, they
go there. No.
This is the way of the. This is
the way of the Sahara.
And anyone who's saying something else
that does a habit different
doesn't show us.
And then I'm saying the Sahara, the companions.
K?
Because if someone
quotes
once Sahabi did this or once Sahabi did
that,
that's not approved Sahabi as individual
because all Sahabi is a Harja.
He's a human being.
He's a human being.
So
if he said something and that thing is
not
in line with the sunnah of the prophet,
you don't accept it. No. It is the
one who
did that thing is a companion. He's a
human being.
He's a human being. But
we are talking about the Sahara,
the practice of the Sahara,
the consensus of the Sahara.
That is considered proof and evidence and religion,
not one individual
because individual is a human being. Abu Hurayrah
performing wudu
up to the elbows.
Should we follow him? No.
He was doing that secretly
for,
H Jihad,
hoping that he will wear ornaments up to
the
the,
the upper part of his
Even though Amal used to wash the inside
of his eyes.
So do we follow that? No.
That's it. Etcetera.
But we are talking about
the consensus of the Sahara.
So the practice of the Sahara,
none of them came to the grave of
the and
asked him
for help
To the contrary, as you as you mentioned
in the Hadith of Ahmad of the Allahu
Hanu.
And this is the second
caliph.
One of those whom Allah
made them
gave them Ilham.
Mahab Dafun,
and yet
he didn't come to the grave and ask
for rain
or ask for Prophet Shloh. No.
He asked
the anchor of the Prophet Shloh.
Uncle of the prophet, Al Abbas. Why Abbas?
Of course, he's the uncle of the prophet,
that's why he was chosen.
Though said, Nur Umar is better than Al
Abbas.
This is the believer by the Sunnah,
but because he is very close to the
prophet,
so said Nariman chose him.
And he said, oh, Allah, we use when
we have drought
to pray to you and ask our prophet
to pray for us, and now we ask
the uncle of our prophet to pray for
us.
So accept our prayers, accept our jobs,
supplications.
So a lot of the scholars,
after the death of the of the prophets
of Salem, scholars of the early generations,
scholars among the Sahaba
would rebuke those who used to pray
to Allah at his grave.
So what would be their response
to someone who actually prayed to him
if they were not allowed
if they were not allowed anyone to pray
to Allah
while
standing
next to the day.
What if they say people are asking the
the prophet himself?
Now another point here I would like to
mention,
The prophet
no doubt he is blessed
Mubarak.
His sweat is blessed.
His saliva is blessed.
His hair is Mubarak.
And during his lifetime,
the Sahaba
did many
things, okay, in the Hajj.
He would give them the his hair.
If
he spit
his
disputum
or the
yeah. Disputum would not fall
in the floor.
The Sahara, they will collect it and rub
it against their body.
His hair
there were few hairs of the prophet
in Medina
after his death
in the house
of one of his wives.
If people fall sick,
they add water to that
and drink, and they they cover.
So these are things
peculiar, who so see us, special things for
the.
So anything that is came in contact
with the
with the past last seven,
his clothes,
his hair.
This is during his lifetime
Or anything
remained like
his clothes or
the,
the hairs.
That's fine
To make the bubble with it. But
now
how can you be you can how can
you
be sure that this thing belongs to the?
You cannot.
There's no
evidence for that.
At the time of the Sahab. Yes.
How about his grave?
Can you consider that come to the grave
and
the Sahara didn't do that.
I'm talking about the Sahara
collectively.
K?
So the to come to the grave, I've
got the grave and touch it. No.
So we do not deny
the
the Tabaluq
of seeking Balakhan blessing
from the things of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
But today and that is only for the
prophet.
You cannot apply that and say, okay. The
Sahaba, also, they are blessed.
Abu Bakr is
blessed, so you can't,
consider his,
saliva
blessed
some of
the you see. I saw one chef.
He's sweating, and they are collecting his spit.
Who are you?
Who are you?
What's happened? They didn't do that to the
Abu Bakr and the Omar and Ismail and
Ali.
Who are you?
Don't you fear Allah
and ask Allah, and you might become victim
of other people?
Don't you consider this is testier for you?
You attribute
purity and perfection to yourself?
Yes. The prophet said that they have no
point,
get into that.
But the Sahara, they didn't
consider this also
the,
can be shared.
They said this is something special for Sosea,
for the.
Peculiar.
And there are many things special,
and we're making many of them
that this belongs only no one can share
these qualities with the.
So the Sahaba, they didn't consider
and seek Baraka from him.
If we are sure there is something
belongs to the prophet
like
his hair or
his garment
but this is very difficult.
No one can prove it.
Yes. There
are people saying this is the profits, but
what evidence do you have for that?
You cannot prove that.
But if
something we are sure of,
that is
the Sahaba practices, and it is fine.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
give us
remain
steadfast on this beautiful deen and guide the
Muslims to the Haqq and make them follow
the footsteps of their prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And may Allah
fill our hearts with his love,
the love of his puppet,
and the love of Allah
May Allah fill our hearts with the Taqwa
and the Imaan.
And may Allah keep us to remain steadfast
on this beautiful deen
till we meet Allah Azza Wa Jal,
and He is pleased with all of us
and me.
And may Allah forgive us our faults and
mistakes
and ignorance.
And may Allah reward all of you my
dear brothers and sisters immensely for your patience
and attendance.
We will now inshallah move to the question
and answers time inshallah. Brothers and sisters, please
send in your questions as soon as possible.
We have received quite a few already, so
we will go through them. If you have
any verbal
questions, please raise your hands, and we will
take them.
Okay.
The first question, Sheikh.
Assalamu alaikum, Sheikh.
There is a practice in my country where
people read some chapters of the Quran after
making dua for instance.
They
recite Surah Al Ikhlas 3 times after dua
for dead person. Surah Al Fatiha
after praying individually for themselves.
They say reading these surahs is hudja in
order to back the dua strongly for Allah
to accept it quickly because the Quran itself
is a blessing from Allah.
Does this have any basis in Sharia?
No. It is redah. Next. This
is innovation.
The next question.
Is it true
that when making some duas from the Quran
in sujood, for example,
They're written in English and put dot dot
dot. One must
add in
front of them. For example,
dot dot dot
because they are Duas from the Quran. And
if one doesn't,
and Allahumma,
it will
be like reading the Quran
in Sujood since we can't read the Quran
in Sujood.
No. This is not true.
So reading the,
the,
the Dua that is in the Quran, it
is Dua.
No need to put Allah on,
no need.
Without it, yeah, it is still considered as
Dua
because you are saying
What is it? It is a supplication. Oh,
our Lord give us Hashanah in the duniya
and the So you are supplicating.
Next.
The next question, Sheikh. We say when we
hear the Adan,
Radi
Radi Tubillahirubanwabil
Islamidina
wabi Muhammadin.
What exactly do we say and when exactly
do we say it?
You say it after you say the
doubted time then you say the star.
Next question, sir.
And my deen is Allah.
And my messagia is the.
Yeah.
Okay. Sheikh, next question. My organization has provided
its staff with a private healthcare scheme where
it is the organization that is responsible for
paying the hospitals.
Is this kind of health care scheme permissible?
What about the situation where the deductions is
made from our salary?
Is this also permissible?
Yes. It is permissible. It's there's nothing written
there.
So if the company is providing this medical
scheme
that providing free medication for their staff, their
employees, that's okay.
Or if they deduct the nominal,
so it is subsidized by the company.
That's okay as well.
Next.
Next question, Sheikh.
In the Hadith that permits us to combine
both Maghrib and Isha for rainfall,
must the rain start to fall before we
can combine or once
the sky becomes cloudy and almost
certain that the rain will fall. Can we
also combine in this scenario?
No. When the rain is falling, it is,
as they say,
downpouring.
Okay? Failing cats and dogs. Okay?
So it is so heavy,
and it is difficult to
reach the
the mass yield.
And, you have to consider this on those
days
because the moment
things start to rain,
the roads will
be full of water,
and the valleys will be,
full of floods
even they cannot cross.
But for example, in countries,
when it is raining all the time and
due,
you have the wonderful
draining system
and they
the floor is clean.
Okay?
Don't leave the salah.
Unless it is really difficult on people, like,
face difficulties.
Then in that case, yes, the provision is
there. Provision is there.
When it is really heavy and people think,
and they are the people in the in
that area decide and the imam decide.
Okay?
That
it is, causing
difficulty and hardship for the people. So then
the vision is there and this is Ruqsa,
this is a gift from Allah.
I hope it is clear. Next.
The next question, Sheikh.
Is there a ruling or conditions to be
followed in seeking help from an enemy to
the deen?
Would this be considered going against the command
of Allah in Surah Al Muntahaina?
I am number 1. Seeking help from what?
The enemy.
What help? Is there
yeah. Is there a ruling?
I know. I know. I know. But what
help?
But what help do
let me rephrase the question. Yeah. Can I
seek help from a non Muslim? The answer
is yes.
The prophet said
the help from
showing them the the guide
for showing them the way.
So to seek help,
from a non Muslim and something
he can.
Okay? That's fine.
But to seek help from the non Muslims
in war,
in fights,
hear no. You don't seek help from the
disbelievers
even if you are fighting disbelievers themselves.
When the man came to the prophet of
Salam and followed him, and he said, I
want to fight with you.
K?
He said, do you bear witness that there's
no God worthy of worship but Allah and
then his messenger said, no. He said, let
us stay in Abu Musaikh.
So it has to be understood in the
context.
It is here. The context is fighting,
compacting.
You don't ask help from the disrelevators.
So he told him I will not seek
help from you.
I will not allow you with me. So
the the man said, now I will I
am a I'll become a Muslim. When did
you become a Muslim? Then he
accepted him.
Is this clear?
It's inshallah
said. The
he came to the You changed him. He
get the
came to the and
asked him to give him food for his
family,
and he gave his own shield
or armor,
the armor
as a mortgage.
So we have to understand
each evidence in the proper context.
Is it clear to the questioner?
Yes, Sheikh. It is clear. Inshallah, go to
the next question.
Would it be considered that we are following
sunnah if we fast on our birth birthday
each year, inshallah, as the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
wa Salam fasted
on his birthday?
No. It is bitter.
It is bitter.
And this is something
the pop star said when he asked when
he was I just said this is the
day that I was born
on, but the date the the day was
Monday.
The day was Monday.
But which Monday?
K? This
is debatable
because
among the historian, the exact date
of the prophet's of the birthday.
K?
So
that's why he's when he was asked, he
said,
this is the day I was born on
Monday. And Monday is so not too fast.
Why you just say that I will fast
on the day,
my birthday. Your birthday is not, is insignificant.
The birthday
of anyone of us is insignificant,
not like the the birthday
of
the
The
birthday
that day the
came into this world
is a birth of this Ummah
This Ummah. This.
Not to say, okay. Since
he fasted
on the day he was born, then I
will, on my birthday, fast. No. It
is
bitter. So you fast Monday Thursday,
that is sunnah.
Is it clear?
Alright. It's clear, Sheikh. Next question.
A question occurred to me, which I must
ask.
How can we understand the relationship between the
black slave
called Maria and our prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Salam?
The the
Maria?
Maria, the black slave.
Okay.
To say she's black, we have no proof
for that.
K.
Anyway,
so,
there is something called the,
mulkiamin.
So Maria was mulkiamin,
and she was given to the prophet
by the
ruler of Egypt, Al Muqawqas.
Maria and her sister too,
and also
a donkey and a doctor.
K?
The,
the name of the donkey, I think, Duldu.
Duldu.
Yes.
So
this
is.
And
what your right hand was says,
you she
is treated like a wife.
She is treated like
a wife.
So
you sleep with her,
and
children are legitimate children.
And
when the master
died and she gave birth to a child,
that will be
cause for her emancipation,
and she becomes free
by default.
And they call it they call her.
K? A mother of a child. That means
you as a slave.
Then
he give birth,
and the child will follow his father. So
the child is not a slave. The child
is free.
Okay.
Then by the death of her master,
she becomes free by default automatically.
So this is our made it halal.
What
do your right hand possess?
I hope it is clear to the questioner.
And this was
permissible,
okay,
in the previous
scriptures.
So the questioner is a you or a
Christian,
we tell him, read your bible.
Read your bible.
Solomon,
Salaaiman,
said, tonight,
I will sleep with 100
of my slaves girls slave girls.
And all of them, they will concede.
And I all I will be blessed with
100
night fighter.
And he didn't he forgot to say Insha'Allah.
So only one of them conceived, so Soleiman,
hey, listen.
Soleiman, Alayhis salaam,
he slept with 100
of his
slaves slave goats.
And he was hoping that Allah will bless
him with 100 child,
Mujahid.
He forgot to say that Insha'Allah.
Only one of them conceived
and gave birth of half a child.
And that is when you read in the
Quran, he found the body on his
chair,
and he prostrated.
He realigned that he forgot to say,
insha'allah, the prophet
said had he said insha'allah,
Allah would fulfill
would have fulfilled
his wish.
Now you're saying, is it possible? 100?
Yes. There were men not like us.
Okay? So don't compare them to you.
And they were prophets of Allah and messengers,
and Allah has given them,
vigor and strength.
Don't you know our prophet who used to
sleep with all his wives in one night?
Is it possible? Yeah. It's possible.
Allah has given them the strength. What's the
problem?
The problem because you cannot you.
That that is your problem.
That is your problem. Don't compare our listeners
and prophets,
to us. Don't compare them.
K? So if you are a Jew or
a Christian,
this was there, permissible in the bible,
and they had no limit.
And even the number of wives,
the prophet,
Allah, limited for him
the number of wives.
Only those whom you have, and that's it.
Well, you, as a Muslim,
are not limited.
You can have 4,
and if one of them died, you can
marry another one, or you can divorce them,
have another 4.
It's not limited for you.
Is this clear to the questioner?
That is clear,
Next question.
Divine wisdom behind it. Divine wisdom.
Because you see the slave girl will become
free.
Free.
Because she's going to give a a birth
to a child, and by default, she will
become free. So this is one of the
techniques and the ways through which
the slaves were emancipated.
K? Muslims wake up. Think.
Rationalize.
Be proud of your faith and gain.
Don't feel inferior.
Your poverty made more than 4. So what?
Read your bible,
then come
and talk to us.
You don't believe in the bible?
So you're not a Jew or Christian. What
are you? Atheist?
You don't believe in religion. You don't believe
in God. So
why are you raising such issues?
So let us discuss, first of all, do
you believe that there is God or not?
Okay.
To you, you don't believe in the scripture.
You don't believe in the one who sent
the scriptures.
So why are you raising such questions?
Let us discuss first of all,
is there is a creator or not?
Islam, my dear brothers and sisters,
came with a solution
for a problem, social problem,
and that is
slavery.
Ask any Christian or any Jew
what is the solution for slavery in your
book.
No solution.
Islam came with the solution.
Slavery was there. Slavery
during the Romans days of the Romans, the
Persians, the Indians, the Chinese, everywhere.
That's the norm.
Islam came the situation like that,
but came with a pragmatic solution.
A solution that is applicable
can be
be can be implemented.
Look here. Islam looks into the matter.
What are the elects of
slaves?
The inputs.
Highway robbers,
tribes attacking other tribes,
making them slaves,
or attacking
free people
and sell them as slaves.
So he narrowed down
the inlets
and only one inlet remain, and that is
war.
How about those who have already there, the
slaves?
Islam created many outlets.
So no more slaves are coming?
How about those slaves?
Islam provide a solution.
First of all,
Islam told their master, do not call them
slaves.
No.
You don't call them slaves.
You don't call
the male
or You call it or
my boy, my girl.
Second thing,
do not overburden them.
Thirdly,
they should eat the same food you eat.
Fall free.
When they bring the food, ask them to
sit down and eat with you. 5th 3,
clothe them
in the same way you clothe yourself.
He wears the same garment his master wears.
Is he a slave anymore?
Then
other
practical ways to set them free.
If one sleeps with his wife during Ramadan,
the expriation
set a slave free. If someone took a
false oath,
expriation of this oath set a slave free.
If someone killed someone
and intentionally,
set a slave free, and the list goes
on.
So
by implementing
this system,
slavery came and abolished.
Finished.
Today,
you don't find a slave to set free.
No more slaves.
That's how Islam
solved
the problem
of slavery.
Islam did not create
slavery.
Islam abolished slavery
through a pragmatic,
practical
system.
I hope this is clear to all of
you, my dear brothers and sisters.
Next.
Next question, Sheikh.
Dear Sheikh, what about if we are having
a special meeting for business and a partner
is requesting to have pictures together?
A meeting and you are taking
picture collectively?
Those are the attendees of the meeting. Right?
Yes, sir. If you are a a female,
don't participate.
I must say,
sorry. I cannot.
Next.
The next question, Sheikh.
Okay. So let's have a detailed this one.
Details questions
to save time.
I asked many times the questioner
to the point
to the point.
Okay.
The question, sir?
So a long a long question can be
forwarded and,
I'll go through it and answer it.
Insha'Allah.
The next question.
There was a company
which was
selling,
shares to investors.
The company then turned out to be
a pyramid or Ponzi scheme.
Do you know that, Sheikh? What that is?
I'm not aware of this. It was fraud.
It was fraudulent.
Let me read this.
And the director of that company
admitted that it was a fraud.
If it is a fraud, finish.
The question here is,
however, there were other people
bringing investors into this fraud
and profited from it. Is this prophet halal?
If it is flawed, k,
how would it come to Halal?
If they didn't know?
They should, repent.
No. No. Can can they can no. I'm
serious.
See. Listen. Listen, Nahi. Listen.
Forward this question
3. To me, please.
Sure.
Next question.
Because you see, the trade in Islam is
very clear.
It's buying and selling,
mutual consent.
The contract is clear.
The items that we are buying and selling
are clear.
We own the item, the commodity. I possess
it. I own it. I cannot sell a
commodity
that I don't possess it. I cannot sell
an item that is not in my warehouse
like what they are doing on the net
nowadays.
They will book for you items,
and then when you
order, they go and buy it for you.
So they are actually selling something they don't
have.
They don't possess.
So
when you read the book of transactions in
in the Sharia and the Hadid, they're very
clear.
You don't sell something that you don't own
it.
There should not be rahal, deception.
Like for saying the other mother saying, you
cannot sell
fish in the water.
She's telling me, you see this shorn of
fish?
It I can't sell it to you.
You see that fleet of birds in the
sky? I can't sell it to you.
Because you have to be able to deliver
it.
Next question, please.
Next question, sir.
Some people ask for Dua.
The one being asked and the one who
asked raise their hands in Dua. Is that
permissible?
So he paid,
for him immediately?
The one being asked.
Yeah. Yeah. You came to me and you
asked raised their hands in Dua. Yep. Is
that possible?
You came to me. You said pray for
me. I raised my hand. I prayed for
you, and you said Amin.
Okay? No problem with that. Next.
That's the final question for tonight, Sheikh.
If you'd like to conclude.
May Allah
bless you all, may Allah protect you, protect
your family, and may Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala your time, and may Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala elevate your status in this world
and the next I mean, and may Allah
keep us all.
Remain steadfast
in this beautiful deen, and may Allah bless
us all
with the beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. I
mean,
and may Allah forgive us all false and
mistakes and ignorance, and may Allah
reward all of you, my dear brothers and
sisters, immensely for your patience,
dedication, and attendance.
To a meet, Insha'Allah, in the coming
session. I leave you in Allah's
company and protection.
