wherever you are joining us from inshallah.
I will announce it again at the end.
So from today
onwards it will be 6:30
the lesson inshallah.
I will now request the Sheikh to begin.
Welcome,
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam today
is
the Surat Al Adha.
This beautiful book by Hayash Al Imam and
Mujadid Muhammad and Muhammadu Muhammadu wa'am, and
we reach
where the author is talking about Al Hashia
Al Hashia.
He said to Rahim
So the proof for the
which is the
is Allah's saying
to have this
feeling
of
love and fear
for the creator.
So this has Shia
as it you know, English language and and
all other languages
are poor languages.
They are
incapable to convey
the exact meaning.
So
this
act of the heart,
the Hasia,
where the hearts combos, where the heart
bows and prostates
before its creator.
So this hushia
is an act of worship
and one of the most beloved
acts of worship.
Keep in mind always
the heart the actions of the heart and
the acts of the heart are more beloved
to Allah
as the wajal
than the acts of the limbs.
Because they are so pure, the acts of
the heart, because no one sees what you
have in your heart except Allah,
except Allah as the way tell.
That's why he as the Ulema said, he
singled out the fast, the siyam
for him.
Though all the acts of revival, but he's
singled out the because
it is one of the most sincere acts
of worship.
No one is watching you. No one is
seeing you.
Yet
you always have you are always
mindful
and cautious
about Allah's watching, that Allah is watching me.
Yes. I'm alone.
Yes. I can't open the fridge. No one
in the kitchen can see me and drink,
but he is seeing me.
Okay. So the Hasia,
the fear, the old,
this deep love and mixed with fear and
veneration,
etcetera.
So this is an active worship.
So Allah is saying
so do not be in all
of them,
but have all of me. Then
comes another act of worship,
which is also
one of these
explicit
manifestation
and signs,
which is the Inaba.
Inaba.
This
in our behalf, repentance,
turning
to Allah,
coming back to Allah.
See.
Normally,
you run away
from the one that you fear and the
one you are afraid of.
You run away.
But Allah,
we run to him.
We are afraid of him. We fear him,
but we cannot run away with him.
So we run to him,
and we come to him
in the state of
humility,
humbly.
With broken heart,
we come to him.
And he loves that,
SubhanAllah.
When he sees us humbling ourselves
before him
with heart full of remorse and regret,
because his mercy, subhanahu wa ta'ala, overcomes his
anger
and precedes his anger.
He forgives.
He forgives,
subhanahu
ta'ala. So we have to come back to
him and beg him and confess.
We don't confess to anyone
except to him.
We don't disclose
our sins
to anyone except to him.
We don't air our dirty linens to anyone.
So
we come to Allah
between us and him.
We raise our hands,
we place our father turn the floor,
we shed our tears,
and we pour out our hearts.
And we cry to him,
and he accepts.
That is the inaba.
To come back to Allah.
You see a repentance.
With sincere repentance.
Truthful
Tawba.
Pure, clear,
sincere,
determined
not to go back
to
selflessness.
So the proof for the Tauba
and that
we have Raq who forgives,
and he loves to forgive.
As mentioned the Hadid,
if there were no sinners,
Allah would replace us with people who will
sin and repent
so he can count them repentance.
So does Allah
love us to sin? No.
But he knows our nature,
that we are weak human beings,
and he knows that
we will be tempted in this worldly life.
He knows that.
So he provided
a way for us to come to him
and a way through which we can wash
away our sins and expiate
our sins
and wash them away and cleanse them through
the Torah, repentance.
So the door of Tawbah
is open
247.
Anytime,
day or night,
you can turn to Allah and repent,
and no one can stop you.
This is the beauty about
Islam.
No one between you and creator and your
creator.
No one between you and your one.
No one.
Direct
relationship.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
we are not angels.
We are human beings. We are sinners.
All children
of Adam,
okay,
are vulnerable,
unlikely
to commit change.
No one is perfect.
And the best of the sinners are those
who repent frequently.
The best of those sinners is the one
who turn to Allah
frequently and immediately.
So the door of Tawba
is open for you,
and you should never
ever
despair
of Allah's mercy.
No matter what you did.
He knows that.
And by the way, my advice for myself
and for you, my dear brothers and sisters,
never
never ever
disclose
your past to any human being.
Never mention what did you did in the
past.
Bury your past.
Bury it.
And never
mention any part of it to anyone.
And start
new chapter.
Because if you disclose your sins
to anyone,
the moment your secrets
come out,
there will not be secrets anymore.
The moment anything you mention about you
to someone, it's not a secret.
And he or she will not maintain it
forever.
And you should not blame him or her
because you yourself could not hold it.
How can then you blame someone
who also could not
keep your secret, which you could not keep
it to yourself?
So
keep your sickness to you.
Every human being has many things in his
life,
any that
and forget about it.
The only one we know
that his life is an open
book.
We know everything about him is Rasoolullah.
We know everything about him.
Things atoned, things outside, things between him and
his wife.
Nothing is hidden
because Allah chose him to be role model
for us to follow.
So Allah is teaching us
through his person,
Alisar Altausa.
But
us,
we can keep all our private sins,
all the things that you committed
between us and the law, and bury them
and forget about them.
Muslim scholars, Rahim
when
they talked about the,
this is here at Tawba,
they said
some of them
said that
you have to make tawba for every single
sin that you have committed.
You ask Allah to I ask Allah forgiveness
for this, for that. You mention them and
you ask forgiveness
for the sins that
and when you
are unable
to enumerate them,
count them,
then you ask Allah
forgiveness
for
all.
Then
they're also discussed.
Is it better for the the repenter
or repentant
to remember his sins or to forgive about
them. Some said,
all this, Ibn Tayed mentioned to him a
lot,
mentioned
that
you recall
the sins and ask forgiveness
for them.
So you get.
So
you
whenever you remember your any of your sins,
you make us to the
file.
The other opinion says no.
You forget about that
because once Allah forgave,
he doesn't go back and say,
I will I,
I will hold you accountable
for your sins. Once Allah forgives, he forgives.
Plus that
some of us, the shaitan,
is a tricky guy and crafty guy.
When you recall the sins,
he might sneak in
and make you long
to go back
to long longing make you long and yearn
to go back
and commit them again
because
he he makes you feel that you feel
good about it,
these
bad memories,
those momentary
minutes you spent
sinning.
So the best thing,
you repent
sincerely.
Ask Allah forgiveness for all your sins, and
then you forget about them,
and you carry on doing righteous deeds
and make a stefar
always.
So this is the
and turn to your Lord
in repentance
and submit to him
and submit to him.
So I you repent
and submit.
Submit.
This is the meaning of the Muslim. You
submit and you
abide
by his teachings.
And you guard his limits.
You guard Allah's limits.
You don't cross them.
So,
So these are Allah's limits.
Never come to them
or never cross them.
So we live within the limits of our
set because Islam, my dear brothers and sister,
rights and limits.
Rights on us
and limits set for us not to cross.
These are Hududuwa,
the limits set by Allah.
So we
live within the
the framework,
within the border.
We don't cross the border.
These are limits.
This is defense.
I should not cross it
because then I will fall into the Haram.
So I have to stay away.
Don't come close to the limits set by
Allah. Don't come close to them.
Stay away.
Stay away from the from the Haram. That's
why the beauty of Islam
is not telling
you don't commit He
tells you don't come near
to Don't come near to drinking alcohol.
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
It means
stay away from the avenue, the way that
will lead to the Haram. That's why in
Islam,
what leads to Haram is Haram.
What might lead to the Haram is Haram.
For example, Allah prohibited
the free mixing,
the privacy the privacy between men and women.
And man and the woman alone is Haram.
The third person
is the devil.
Why?
Because this will lead finally
to the Haram.
Yes. In the beginning, they are just,
knowing each other, shouting, and
introducing each other.
This is the first meeting.
Then things will
develop,
and it will end up to with the
Haram. So Islam blocks the way immediately.
No. You don't sit with a man. Finish.
You don't sit with him.
Well, he wants to know about me. He,
wants to marry me. There is a proper
channel
to come through the proper
way,
to propose
and then
to come to the family.
But you're a woman and a man alone,
no,
because this will lead to the Haram, and
Islam blocks that.
Islam will have a woman from traveling
without a Maharam because this will lead
also and expose her to danger.
Istanbul habitat that you you go to the
play places
where people are committing haram.
K?
Nightclubs and the the like of the the
pub
where people drinking alcohol.
You should not sit
with people who are drinking alcohol
at the table
where alcohol is served.
So what leads to the Haram is Haram.
So Islam blocks the avenue the way that
leads
to the Haram,
and this is very important for every Muslim
to
to know it.
So these are limits. These are precautionary
measures
Allah
has taught us, and we should apply them.
So we should not come close
to the
limits set by Allah, Aqsa.
Stay away from them.
Stay away from the limits set by Allah,
Aqsa.
No free
mixing.
No with women.
As
the prophet
said, he warned the men
Be careful. Be aware
not to enter upon women,
etcetera.
So Islam
is about limits
and rights.
Limits set by Allah
to the Muslim,
he lives within this boundary,
this limit this limit.
And there are rights upon him
towards
himself,
to fulfill his obligations and
his commitment
towards others,
to give others their rights,
and to give his lord his rights
by
worshiping him and
obeying him
and do
the dues and lead the dumps.
So
there are limits and there are rights.
Rights for you
and rights for you.
So everyone of us should give
the rights of others
and others should give him his rights.
See, most of the marital problems
arise
because each one wants his rights, and he
is neglecting and ignoring
the rights of the other.
The woman wants her rights,
but she is not fulfilling her obligations
towards her husband.
The husband wants his rights.
I'm your husband
and your heaven
and your *, and he will call the
hadith. And I'm your
*. I'm the heaven.
Obey me.
But at the same time,
he
ignores
all the
and the that
address him
to give his wife
halites.
Mahabas,
said, by Allah, I
adorn myself.
K? I take a shower.
I apply and perfume
wear perfume,
make myself presentable
for my life
because this is highlight,
and I find that in the book of
Allah.
For them,
that means their rights on their husband just
like the rights,
which they owe towards their husband
in
a recognizable
manner.
What is known?
Something
that model is something reasonable.
So this is the turdu man of Quran.
This is the interpretive of the Quran.
He takes shower.
He looks resentful,
nice smell for his wife
because this is halite.
And your wife, she loves to see you
like that.
Not that you come from outside and you
smell horrible and maybe you smoke.
And she is already took a shower waiting
for you.
And
and this is how
you come to her.
Where is her light?
Where is Harait?
So Islam, my dear brothers and sisters, about
rights and limits.
So if everyone
fulfill
his obligations
towards
others.
And others give him his rights, everything will
be fine.
And turn to your lord in repentance
and submit to him.
This submission, where is it? Many of the
Muslims today,
they don't show this
submissiveness.
I'm a Muslim,
but I will not submit.
I am Muslim, but I will not wear
hijab.
I am Muslim, but I will not quit
the rebar.
I will not quit smoking.
I will not quit drinking alcohol.
So where is the submissiveness?
Where is guarding Allah's limits? Where is it?
You are crossing Allah's limits.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
let us wake up,
and let us turn to Allah
and repent to Allah sincerely
and submit to him as he
wants us to do.
So Allah saying this,
I have 44,
45,
k? This is the meaning of Muslims.
I surrender. I submit.
Not I'm a Muslim,
and I will not do whatever
Allah asks me.
I'm a Muslim. You are cheating yourself.
Where is the Islam? What is the state
the submit submissiveness?
Where is submission?
May Allah guide all the fuss. I mean
then the oath of Imam al Ashtab mentioned
another act of worship,
and these acts of worship are live on
Allah.
We should not direct them to
anyone other than Allah.
So this is another active version,
which
is In Arabic,
the
form because you know we have
what we call
grammatical
scale.
A mizanosophy.
I think they call it,
phalology or something like that in English.
So this, we
have a scale grammatical scale
on which we weigh the the the words
in
in Arabic.
And this is the the scale
is
because
most of the verbs in Arabic are three
letters,
three letters,
most of them.
So that's why the scale was chosen
to be.
So we put any word on the scale.
For example,
blah blah blah, it will be.
So if
any word
takes the form of
What does it mean?
One who ask for forgiveness.
Because
that form,
that sentence
means this,
He
asks for information,
inquiry.
He seeks. He asks for help.
So
So the proof for seeking, that's why it
is translated
as seeking
because it is
you asked for.
The proof for seeking assistance
is what Allah is saying
so that we seek help from Allah.
You alone, we worship, and you alone, we
ask for help.
And here, there is
reason.
K?
There is
the tricycle
reason here
that the object
preceded
the subject.
The object came before the subject.
As you know, in in in English,
the structure of the sentence
normally
s v o, subject
verb
object.
So in English, you start with the subject,
then the verb
could be verb to be or auxiliary verb,
then the object.
In Arabic,
the opposite.
It is the
verb,
then the subject,
then the object. It is v
s o,
verb subject object.
So you start with the verb,
then the subject,
then the object in
Arabic.
So normally, this is the structure.
This is the structure.
Now here,
It is the objects came first.
The is the object. The
object.
The verb and the subject
came later,
The verb
is worship
and the subject we we, we.
So why the object came before
the
subject and the verb?
So they say
k? That means when the object comes before
the subject and the verb, verb.
Then this
denotes
exclusiveness.
And confide
and limit
the meaning.
What does this mean? It means now
that the
the
the
worship belongs
exclusively
and purely
to Allah
only.
And we seek no help,
and we worship
no one but Allah.
That's why the object
came before the subject and the verb.
That's why
the
object came.
So that means we worship no one
no one
except you or
Allah.
And yet,
thousands
of Muslims
every Muslim reads, sir, to Fatihan.
And thousands and thousands of Muslims,
they worship other than Allah.
They worship other than Allah.
They worship saints.
How?
By directing
the 4 mentioned acts of worship to other
than Allah.
They call other than Allah.
They fear other than Allah.
They
take oath
in other than Allah's name.
They offer sacrifices
to other than Allah, so they are worshiping
other than Allah. And then they say,
No. You are not,
fulfilling this.
You are not.
And
then
he
explained his words.
In,
The stations
of
So
that means we worship no one.
So that's why when you read in English,
you alone. Where did they get this? You
alone. Alone. Where did they get it?
Because this is the meaning
when the object
came before the subject and the verb.
That means it is you only.
Because this, as I mentioned,
it to feed your hassle
the hassle that it is limited.
It's only you. This is regarded only for
you, nobody else. No one should share that
light with you.
So the rebada
is for Allah.
All our acts of worship, for Allah, I'm
sorry, tell you.
We don't direct any
acts of worship to other than Allah.
Because we are his servant,
and he created us for that.
He created us for the
for
I have created
only
to worship me
me alone.
So
This is a connector.
Again,
we seek help or live from you.
Listen to me, my dear brothers and sisters.
We seek
help only from Allah.
The one who can help us only Allah,
not the West or the East.
Only Allah.
Our heart should turn up.
Our hands should be raised
towards
the one who's above us.
Everything
is in his hand.
All people,
all children of Adam,
all those people on earth,
they
owe nothing.
Nothing.
Everything
is in his hands.
So we should not be intimidated,
we should not be frightened
by anyone.
If we count
and rely on Allah and worship Allah and
seek His help only.
The prophet of Assele,
as you know in the battle of Badr,
when they came out
and their intention was to confiscate the caravan
and not to fight,
and now they are confront
confronted
with the army of Kolais.
What to do?
What to do?
Call him.
That's it. The pops
started crying,
raising his hand, saying to Allah,
begging
Allah,
telling Allah
if this group of the Muslims
those are the Muslims on earth today.
If this
group
wiped out,
you will not be worshiped, oh, Allah.
Allah
heard and responded,
and he sat down sent down Malaika, the
angels fighting along with the Muslims.
So the Muslims,
the believers should not be intimidated
or frightened by anything
if they are with Allah,
if their hearts are attached
with Allah
because Allah
owns everything.
He runs his kingdom.
Everyone in earth is only a tool tool.
Who moves it? The one who created it.
The one who created
it.
And Allah's forces, Allah's soldiers,
Allah's,
the soldiers of Allah,
no one knows them. No
one,
except him.
Don't you see the whole world on their
toes
of microscopic
organism?
The virus, coronavirus?
The whole world,
something will come up.
And each time,
a vaccine
the vaccine
is made,
the virus came with another
version,
another variant of the virus.
Because
everything is in his hand.
Everything is in his hand.
And the believers, they should know this, and
that's what the early believers.
Their hearts were full of this.
Haqida, this tongue belief.
When they fight,
they know.
Their strength is received from Allah.
That's what the job the pastor was telling.
By you, I fight.
By you,
I'm in the battlefield.
And by you, I fight.
That's right. It's from Allah.
So this meaning,
when it is really deeply
rooted in the heart,
then
you
don't fear anything.
So you seek help
from Allah
and
Allah
alone.
The prophet
said to his Sahaba,
that is.
Do not ask the people for anything.
So many of them
His whip,
the whip,
when it fell off his hand,
he would not tell his brother to give
it to him.
He would dismount, come down, and pick it
up.
When any one of them
needs anything,
he raises his hands to Allah.
If one of them,
his shoelace
is broken cut,
he would raise his hands to ask
Allah for help.
And the continuation of the hadith,
of
the hadith,
The meaning in English? Ibn Abbas,
radiates it. One day, I was riding behind
the prophet
when he said,
oh, young boy, oh, lad, be mindful of
Allah, and he will protect you.
He will protect you.
So what does that mean?
K.
That means be mindful of Allah's limits, which
we talked about.
K. Because you cannot protect Allah, but protect
and safeguard
the limit set by Allah.
So that's why the translator is saying be
mindful,
be cautious regarding
the limit set by Allah.
Ola, be mindful of Allah, and he will
protect you. So if you safeguard
and avoid causing and trespassing
the limits
set by Allah, then Allah will protect you.
So Muslim Ummah, if he wants Allah to
protect you,
then mindful
mind your steps
and safeguard Allah's limits,
and do not do the harm,
and quit sinning and repent and turn to
Allah.
So here, the prophet
is teaching
Ibn Abbas,
who was young,
to tell him
that
be mindful
of Allah's limits.
So safeguard Allah's limits.
Protect Allah's limits.
Then Allah will protect you from anything.
And father left, they didn't hit your jack.
Reminds well of Allah and you shall find
him with you.
If you
sanctify
Allah's limit
and protect them
and you don't curse them,
then Allah will be there for you always,
and you
shall find him with you.
Always Allah will be there guiding you
because you
are mindful
about
your obligations
towards your creator,
and you
sanctify
Allah's limits,
and you don't trespass them.
For the life of for the life that
you do to Jahak.
You'll find Allah with you always.
And when Allah with you,
he will protect
you, he will guide you,
he will
help you.
Then the the will continue with you.
When you ask for anything,
when you ask for anything, ask it from
Allah
from Allah.
Because human beings, they don't own anything.
You see, our ownership
is not real.
Our ownership is not real. It is nominal.
It is in our name,
but we don't own it.
We don't own it.
It is just in our name. My car,
my house, my my my my.
But
the real owner is Allah.
And that's why
all of these possessions,
fortunes,
they are moving,
circulating.
They come to me,
then they will leave me.
Okay?
I'm rich, then I will become broke.
Poor. So that wealth will leave me, will
go to somebody else, and it's going on
like that.
Read history.
Those countries you see today, they have droughts
and poverty.
Some time ago, they were very rich countries.
And those countries, they are rich today. They
were very poor,
and the cycle is going on.
So you are not a real owner.
So that's why what you have in your
hand is a trust
trust.
And you will be questioned on the day
of the resurrection
if you misuse it.
Because the real owner is a lie.
We human beings, we are nothing.
We came with nothing.
We came
with our birthday
suit.
We came with nothing,
empty handed,
and we will leave this world empty handed.
Nothing. We came with nothing. We live with
nothing.
Everything would remain.
Resources
would remain.
Fortune will remain.
Everything will remain. Money will remain. Everything will
remain.
You came with nothing, and you will live
with nothing except
with that piece of Charlotte
covering your nakedness. That's it.
That's it.
So when you ask for anything,
ask it from Allah.
SubhanAllah.
I saw a clip
today.
Someone sent it.
See,
even when we're
young,
on the television, you see
many
those
actors and actresses.
And now they passed away,
passed away.
Oh, that generation
passed away.
Muslims, may Allah
forgive them.
They're sins.
If Allah
didn't encompass them in his
mercy,
they will be in that shape.
See, my dear brothers and sisters,
time flies.
Time flies.
Youth fades away
with in the blink of an eye.
And soon,
you will be invited
and you will meet your Lord.
So do not be
eluded,
deceived
by the pleasures of this worldly life. You're
not free.
To so
tempting,
alluring
this worldly life.
So we should not to be
deceived.
So when you ask for anything, ask it
from Allah, ask it from the one who
owns it.
And if you seek help,
if you seek help,
You have
problem,
you're in trouble,
get up, take wudu,
and pray
to Allah,
and cried to him
and asked him.
I think that this is a story.
A man came to one of the from
an Arab country. I'll not mention name.
And he's young. He wants to get married,
and the problem in his country
to find a flat,
an apartment.
So he came and asked the sheriff.
So the sheikh told him, ask Allah.
Ask Allah.
Say,
does Allah have flats?
Skip. Does Allah have flats?
He said, yes. He has everything. Ask him.
But ask him sincerely. Yeah.
Pray to him. He said, okay.
The bull guy went
and he asked Allah,
and he got the flat.
He came to the chair in the circle
and he
was, okay, moving his lips telling the Sheikh
Allah has flats. Really, he has flats.
Allah has everything, my dear brothers and sisters.
Allah has everything.
We just need to ask him
and count on him and rely on him.
So when you ask for anything, ask it
from Allah and give you seek help seek
help from Allah.
This is
reported by Tirmidhi Al Hashan, authenticated by Sheikh
Alban.
And then the prophet
continued
telling him,
And know that
and
know that,
bear in mind,
that if the Ummah were to gather together,
the, yin and mankind, this what we need
to instill in the hearts of our children.
Mothers, this what you should do, inculcate it,
implanted in their hearts
that they rely on Allah and the Allah.
Here, the prophet
is teaching us to this how he was
teaching in our
past. And know that if the Ummah were
together together
to benefit you with something,
they will not be able to benefit you
except to something that Allah has already written
for you.
Something written for you.
If all jinn and mankind get together
to benefit you, they will not
accept something already
for you.
So no one will take your grade,
your promotion.
If one
of your colleagues was promoted,
don't say
that is mine.
He took it. This is not yours.
This is not yours.
So no need to hold any ill feeling
or grudge
against your colleague.
Tell him congratulations.
You deserve it.
No need for you to hate
and start choking
and going mad
because it's not
yours.
And know that if the Umma were to
gather to gather together to benefit you with
something,
they would not be able to benefit you.
They will not,
except Accept to something that Allah has already
written for you.
K? And they are remember, they are tools.
So Allah,
for example,
your current manager
was giving you a tough time.
Okay?
And he's delaying, and he is
not giving you what you are supposed to
to get.
He was a a stumbling block,
but there's not time for you to get
the promotion.
When the time comes,
the promotion will come against him against his
will.
K. Then this
manager is changed. Another
new manager came because now it is time
for you to get it.
And he pulled all the records of the
employees,
and he is going through, say, oh, this
poor guy,
his records, his reports, everything is fine. Why
is he not promoted?
He should be promoted. Because now this is
the time
you are supposed to get it.
So no one can stop it.
And if they were together gathered together to
harm you with something,
they will not be able to harm you
except with something that Allah has already written
against you.
Something
is written.
Something was not going to miss you.
So this hadith shows us, my dear brothers
and sisters,
that human beings, they own nothing.
So don't worry about them,
and don't be afraid of them,
And fear only your creator
and be attached
and be in communication with him.
And attach your hearts
and connect your hearts with
its creator.
Then the Hadith says the pens have been
lifted.
The pens writing in the Loh El Mahud,
the preserved tablets.
The pens have been lifted
and the pages
have dried.
So the pens that were writing
lifted stopped
writing.
And the pages have died.
Everything has been finalized.
Everything has been written
in the preserved tablet
that what is going to happen.
And this doesn't mean
that
Allah, because of the the right thing, he
interferes
in
our choice.
That's giving us
the free will
to choose between
options and alternatives.
So Allah's knowledge does not interfere in your
choice.
You choose to obey by
your free will, and you choose to disobey
by your free will as well.
Okay. So we stop at this point. May
Allah
strengthen our iman and your iman.
And may
Allah purify our hearts of your heart.
May Allah fill our hearts with his love,
with his fear,
and his
and may Allah
forgive us our the faults and mistakes and
ignorance.
And may Allah
give us to remain steadfast
on this beautiful deed till we meet him
and he is pleased with all of us.
And may Allah unite our and unite
our hearts and may
Allah reward all of you, my dear brothers
and sisters, immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, just to make an announcement
before we go into the question and answers
time.
The sessions
on Mondays
Fridays
will be according to UK time,
6:30 PM.
6:30
PM
according to UK time from now onwards.
We will take the
questions from,
those
who are here with us. You can send
your questions on the chats.
Please do so as soon as possible, or
raise your hands by pressing participant and
raise hand.
We have received a few questions already.
We will take those first.
Assalamu alikum.
I love you for the sake of Allah.
Question.
In Bengali
culture,
after the potential husband meets
the girl at her house,
the boy's family
gives
money to the girl after looking at her.
This is given to her before she says
a yes or a no to the proposal.
Is this money halal for the girl to
keep?
If the girl decides to reject the proposal
but does not inform the boy's family
that evening, can she take the money away
and keep it?
So
the
according to the oath, the norm in that
country, this is a gift?
If it is a gift to the This
is a gift, sir. It's gift and it's
known as a gift. It is a gift
for us. It is hard and, no need,
even if you refuse to return it. No?
It is a gift from someone. Yes?
It is not part of the Mahab. It's
not part of the dowry, etcetera.
So the gift when you give someone gift,
you don't ask your your to take your
gift again.
Is this clear?
Yes, Sheikh. It is clear.
The next question, Sheikh.
May Allah reward our Sheikh for sharing the
beneficial knowledge.
Ameen. A friend wanted to know if this
dua is authentic and claims to be read
in case you need to
do quickest Ihara.
The dua is and she's written it in
English.
Yeah.
I believe that's that's what she means. Yeah.
Well, give me and choose from me.
Okay. So,
the,
it is the the the meaning of it
is already mentioned in the in the dua
of the Stikhara itself.
So,
we need to repeat the same thing.
So when you read the
because
you are leaving the metal
to the to Allah to choose
for you,
so it's already there mentioned in the dua.
So just say the dua of the
which is the words of the better
than the words of anyone else. And this
is keep it in mind
that the of
the
are better than the duas of anyone else.
The the other duas, there's nothing wrong with
it.
But no doubt, the duas of the when
you mammarize the duas made by the
is better than saying duas saved by somebody
else.
Is this clear to the question now?
That is clear, Sheikh. If the questioner meant
something else, please rewrite it,
because the spelling is
was different.
Okay. Next question.
Is it permissible to talk about one's sins
of the past in very general terms as
a means of dawah? For example,
if a person would say, before I had
knowledge,
I was like this and that,
but I was miserable.
True happiness is only in obedience of Allah.
Do not do that.
We know that you passed. We know that
you came from Jahiliya.
And they hear many of the brothers,
a lot of guys, they keep doing things
like this. Not me. I was,
I mean dining and whining and
why are earning your dirty name linens? What?
People they love.
You come from Jahiliya.
No need to say that.
And especially if it is a woman.
K?
That's why I I I I warned the
sisters also,
don't mention your past
because you never know when the Shaitan will
trigger that
in the mind of your husband.
K?
Because
many sisters and brothers as well.
Because the the culture, the grow up in
this Western culture.
I, I need to confess, you know, I
need to confess to you before we start,
you know. I was
I was not a state and, you know,
and everyone will start disclosing.
So you I will not cheat you. I
I want you to know about me.
Forget it.
Never do that.
Never do that.
And even if he or she asked,
say,
this is something
my past was doing me and the law.
And I repented. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he
accepts the one who repents,
so don't ask me anything.
So do not disclose
any
your sins that you committed in the past
because this will
keep their echoing in his mind.
If you are late,
after you are married or you you are
late late.
She thought comes
triggers that.
And she thought my time, you know, you
never know. You never know.
Old habits, they die hard
because you told him about your sins.
So
bury your past,
your sins, and that's it. Don't disclose them
to anyone. We are not
followers
of Catholicism
where you have to go and confess.
So in Catholicism, you
the sinner comes
and confess to the priest,
and the priest is entitled
to forgive you your sins,
but he will forgive you only the sins
that you disclosed.
So if you hate
any of your sins, those sins will not
be forgiven.
So you have to bring all your sins
out.
We don't have that in Islam.
And Muslims should be grateful that we don't
have that,
and we don't disclose
our sins.
And the prophet
said,
all my Ummah,
k,
will be forgiven, their sins will be forgiven,
and they will be covered up
except those who disclose
these sins.
So, hey, Muslim. So
disclosing your sins
is not allowed in Islam.
Some might say, but, you know, the Sahaba
used to talk about the what they used
to do in the Jahiliyyah
and the Masjidah, and the prophet would smile.
Hello?
Do you think the Sahaba were
talking
about
the shameful deeds that they used to do,
and the prophet
is approving of that, and he is smiling.
No.
What they were mentioning,
talking about their foolishness,
telling each other, you know, are you guys
worshiping that? I do.
I made it with my with my own
hands, and
and then I wash in it. And when
I am hungry,
and because I made it of date, I
eat it. I eat my dog.
So they were mentioning
things like that.
K?
So so they were laughing about their past,
the things, the foolish things they used to
do.
So that's why the pops out of them
would smile
because they
were mentioning these stories to
show that, alhamdulillah,
we are grateful that Allah saved us on
that Yahiliya.
Not that they were mentioning their sins in
the presence of the prophet
and the prophet was smiling. So keep this
in mind. Is this clear to the question?
We'll go to the next question.
For the beneficial knowledge, may Allah elevate your
status
and accept it from you, Amin.
My question number 1 is current conditions applied
to her judge.
What happens if one doesn't wish to be
vaccinated?
What happens regarding the ruling
on a person
who should be going on Hajj and does
not want to be vaccinated?
I don't know what are the, the procedure.
Is it mandatory?
Yes, sir.
It became mandatory. You have to make it?
Yes. That's correct, sir.
Okay. So
if it is mandatory
and,
of course, the at the end of the
day, it is your life.
So if you don't want to do it
because
of the side effects and the conflicting
views and opinions,
and you decided
not to go
to delay the Hajj until things improve in
sha Allah this pandemic is removed.
So you're not to be in sha Allah
questioned by Allah as they were telling even
if you die.
K. Because now there is a reason that's
why you
though you are financially able, physically able, but
you are now asked to take something which
might hurt you and harm your life and
harm your health.
Is it clear to the questioner?
That is clear, Sheikh.
Next question.
What happens if a husband doesn't fulfill his
rights and demands
his rights should the wife oblige to please
Allah only?
Yes. Please Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and give him his rights,
and he will be sinful before Allah.
So he should not also
try to correct something wrong one wrong with
another wrong.
Okay? So you do things to please Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Give him his right. He's
not giving you your right if you want
to continue living with him.
If you want to end the marital relationship,
tell him you are not giving me my
rights, and it is my right to ask
for God.
But if you decide because you have children
and to be patient,
then give him his right.
Okay?
And he will be held accountable. Don't,
doubt that your rights will be lost. You'll
get your rights.
And he is sinful, and he is accountable
before Allah.
Is this clear to the question?
Yes, chef. That is clear. We received another
question very similar,
and he answers that question also.
The question was, is a woman self sinful
for not fulfilling her husband's desires
if he does not fulfill her right and
only acknowledges
her only for his needs?
Yes. I'm afraid because she has to
do her part.
Okay.
Fulfill her obligation because
when she fulfills her obligations,
okay,
that she clear her side,
and she does it for the sake of
Allah, a double general.
He doesn't want to be held accountable or
to be sinful like him.
And he is going to be
if he didn't repent,
he is going to be questioned that he's
going to be held accountable
before
Allah because if you wrong someone, Allah
will get the right of the one who
was wronged.
But no doubt about that.
Next.
The next question, Sheikh, I'm not sure if
this is what they meant. I will go
I'm going to add to it.
The question was, is he allowed to attend
lectures on social media by a female?
This was asked by a female.
I'm going to ask to the add to
that and ask, is it permitted for men
to be listening to the
on the social media, female?
Of course, they are this is a visual
one, not audio.
Yes, Sheikh. It will be on social media,
so it will be live
or recorded, video and audio.
My advice for the sisters that die is
don't
address men
and talk to
your sisters
either in
if you are using
media users, special rooms,
only where there are sisters can can listen
to you
and see you.
All of you are in
a normal
life.
You go to give a talk give talks
only to the sisters,
not to come in front of men
and start lecturing
and talking to
them. Because
all with all due respect, all those sisters,
they are not that
prominent scholars
that the Ummah are in need of their
end.
Right?
Because they might say Aisha was teaching this
or that, and the history of Islam. There
were many women, etcetera, scholars. That's true.
But they were teaching from behind the curtain.
So the men were not looking at them.
Then we have this all this all over
you are coming, awaiting all these. Meanwhile,
I see. But
to come and sit in front of the
men
and all the eyes on you,
And everyone is looking at you, and you
never know what is going in his mind.
And you're the are they acting? And you
see,
I I see her sleeves are falling, and
her hands are chowing. And
where is the haya, my dear sisters? Where,
where did what's happened to the haya?
The haya of the Muslim. Where is it?
So
my advice for the sisters
of Noli and they are teaching,
teach your own sisters
and leave the opposite *.
The opposite *, leave it.
Don't you know that how the prophet
segregated
men and women
in the salah, the men women,
far away from the men.
And he said the best,
the worst
best lows of the women, and the rows
are the last rows.
And the worst rows of the women, the
first rows because they are closer to the
man.
And he told the women, never raise
from your and
tell the men to stand because the Sahaba's
garments were short.
So the woman
raises
before then, she would see the aura of
the man in front of her.
All this will be cushions the took
into consideration.
And the moment he ends the salah, concludes
the salah, he would tell the Sahaba,
remain seated.
No one should get up,
and all the women will leave.
And there is a special door for them.
And the Sahaba will remain seated until the
would feel
that now everyone reach Hahol.
So the Muslim actually just stay away from
men.
Stay away from them.
K?
And if
this is hypothetical
question. If we have the sister,
scholar like Aisha, masha'allah,
Taqiha,
Usuliya.
Okay? And the men, they need to learn
from her, say no problem.
Okay? There should be a curtain,
and then she can't talk to them.
K? In a modest manner
and official manner.
Is this clear to the questioner?
That's clear, Sheikh. Next question.
My
question is a person
is saying if
he skips the Farsullah, will he become a
Kafir?
I heard from a day in my country
that there is a dispute
that if a person skips a Farsalah,
he will become Kafir. Please advise.
Please advise.
The salah
should not be treated lightly.
Salah is one of the pillars of Islam.
I'm only Islam.
Allah
says in the
Quran, the angels on the day of resurrection,
the Muqiyama,
will rebuke and blame
the people in the hellfire,
and they would
ask them.
The angels will ask them, what's brought you
into the hellfire?
Why are you here?
And
the answer,
we were not praying.
So those who do not pray,
their place is Saqar, Yeahana.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also said,
to those who pay but delay their prayers.
So they pay the salah
after
each time.
When the time of this payer is over
finished, they start paying.
K? So he will miss the hassle time.
He'll pay hassle at negative
time or do an hassle time.
They pay, but they misstate
the timings of the salah.
So Allah promised them to have
wide
extreme punishment,
Adah
or
Azim Abbas and others, Bahinu Allah, of the
Allah anhu, said,
and is a valley in the Alfa'il.
So the salaam, my dear brothers and sisters,
it's not something we treat lightly.
Allah prescribed it and imposed it
upon his this Ummah
on the night of the Mirat in
heaven
to show the status
of the salah.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
The Prophet
said also,
So the covenant between us and them
is the salah,
the payer.
Whoever leaves the salah
is a kafir.
So this was the prophet
said.
What separates a man from is the salah.
If he doesn't pay, he's a kafit.
This what Allah said.
So never ever
miss your prayers.
1 who doesn't pay,
the Sahaba unanimously agreed.
The one who doesn't pay at the is
a kafit.
So
it is very important
to understand the importance of the Salah
and not to treat the Salah lightly.
Someone proposes
to assist her, he doesn't pray
immediately.
He's not eligible.
They're not letting him. I told
sorry.
Command your children to pray at the age
of 7
and smack them and discipline them
at the age of 10
and separate them in beds to not let
them sleep together.
So this is the status of the Salah
and the state of the Salah in Islam.
So never
miss your tires,
and if you
missed it
because you slept,
your other slept and you missed this a
lot,
that's different.
That's different.
You pray when you get up.
Sheikh Abdul Aziz in Barzrahima
Allah
was asked a man,
He
puts the clock,
k, for the work to go at work.
And he knows that is the time he
will get up, and that's the time he
will pay, and he knows. So he knows
he on purpose, he is
leaving
paying the salah
until the time is it's has finished.
Jahad al jeez he said he's scattered.
He's scattered
because he's deliberately
missing the salah.
So don't read your prayers lightly.
May Allah guide all the Muslims,
those who do not pray to start praying.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Insha'Allah that is clear, Sheikh. Next question.
Assalamu alaykum Sheikh. May Allah reward you.
How many months will a woman have to
stay in her husband's house after the death
of the husband?
4 months 10 days.
4 months 10 days.
Next question, Sheikh.
Is it permissible for us to ask our
potential husbands,
what do you smoke?
No. Sorry.
Potential
husbands that
if they smoke
and if they and if they listen to
music.
Yes. That's your right.
That's your right.
Do you smoke?
Do you listen to music?
If you said yes
and if you said,
I will not
mention this.
I will not answer
just a time.
This is my condition.
If you smoke and listen to the Haram,
I don't want to live with a man
who will
spoil my deed.
K?
But the moment,
I become your wife,
you have the upper hand.
So you might you might tell me, okay.
You don't want to listen to music? Go.
Go to the other room. I enjoy music.
I am free to smoke. I will not
quit smoking.
So from the beginning,
they are not my cup of tea.
They are not my cup of tea. Next.
Next question. Brothers and sisters, please, before sending
in the questions, try to read it to
yourself so
that the words are written correctly. I know
what you mean. I try to
understand what you mean, but, sometimes it's written
in a way which I can't understand.
So,
next question.
May Allah preserve you and raise your ranks
in Jannah Aamin.
My question is, is it necessary to repent
all minor and major sins or only the
major sins by recalling it?
Because many a hadith
said the sins will erase by doing the
good deeds,
which
which categories of sins encompasses
in the Hadith which mentioned a raising of
sins?
Yes. The,
the Hadith talking about a raising of sins,
the minor sins.
Minor sins.
Major sins, you have to make sincere Torah.
So all the Hadith, they're talking that this,
expiates
the sins like fasting
at Hashulah and fasting the 6 days of
Mahavam and all these things. He's talking about
minor sins. Major sins, you have to repent
and full sincerely
and fulfill the conditions of the sincere Tawba.
That means you quit, you regret,
you intend not to go back.
And if you wrong someone, you ask him
or her to forgive you.
If you took someone's
money or someone's property, give it back.
That is
the sincerestobah
regarding major sins.
The other hadith talking about they are applied
for the minor sins.
Is it clear to the questioner?
Yes, Insha'Allah. That is clear, Sheikh. The next
question,
dear Sheikh, we know that the Prophets are
not inherited,
but there is a Hadith which
says that the scholars are the
heiress of the prophets.
Isn't that a contradiction? Question mark, Jazakullah here.
No. No contradiction, my dear questioner.
Because if you read the hadith correctly,
you'll understand.
The hadith says, we, prophets of Allah, do
not bequeath
but we bequeath
knowledge.
So what the prophets they leave
behind is the knowledge,
and the scholars, they inherited that knowledge.
The knowledge
they're in.
That's why scholars
are
the
heirs
or the inheritors of prophets.
So they
inherit
the knowledge which they bequeath and they left
behind, the legacy.
So the Hadith is clear.
Okay. So
the ulema, they inherited the knowledge. And my
advice for all of you brothers and sisters,
never ever,
never
ever
have doubt
regarding your deal.
When you come across something you don't understand
it,
don't doubt.
Say shame on me.
The problem with me, I'm sure
there will never
ever be any contradiction
in Islam. Islam. A challenge for anyone.
There would never be any contradiction.
So the problem is with me.
So I came I read hadith. I didn't
understand it. I write it down.
Then
with the manners of the students of knowledge,
you ask the sheikh, the people of knowledge.
Dear sheikh,
would you mind explaining
this ayah to me or this hadith to
me?
Because
I feel
they are not clear to me. I need
clarification.
That is your right.
But to jump to the conclusion
and say,
what is this?
Conjections,
conflict.
What is this Islam? This Hadith against this
Hadith, this Ayah against this Ayah.
Say,
hold your hostess.
Hold your hostess.
The problem not with the text, the problem
with your ignorance.
You are ignorant. You don't know your Islam.
So don't criticize
at Islam.
Blame yourself.
So if you want to know,
ask
with adam,
with manners.
Follow the etiquette of
asking questions,
and do not criticize
Al Islam.
Say,
I need clarification.
I'm a bit confused.
It is not clear to me.
This is my advice for all, not for
the questioner. No.
This for all,
this is the way we have to follow.
We should never doubt our Islam. Our Islam
is the only faith of the only deen
which is free from any trace of doubt.
No doubt in it.
I have no doubts in the Quran, no
doubts in the authentic sunnah.
K? And that's why
when
you don't know, ask, as Allah said. 1st,
ask the people of Dhikr, ask the people
of knowledge if you do not know.
And remember remember,
Satan
can mislead you either through doubts
or lusts and desires.
Or
Rebide for doubts,
the aim, the knowledge.
Rebide for
the lusts and desires,
the taqwa and the iman and the fear
of Allah.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Light is clear, Sheikh. Next question.
Assalamu alaikum, Sheikh. A sister
has generic
genetic OCD problem,
and she's probably suffering from black magic or
gene
possession problem too.
She's taking clinical
help and doing rukia.
At the same time, her family
is trying to find a suitable suitor
for her to get married to.
Does she have to tell any potential suitor
about her problems, or should she keep those
secret?
Well, here, she should not cheat her.
If she is having a certain
illness,
she should, mention.
I have this problem, and I'm going through
treatment, and
and so we should
it's it's both sides. So we should not
cheat the the future
husband or future wife.
Because here,
He who cheats us is not from
us.
Is it clear?
It's clear. Next question.
Can women lead salah at home
for group of women?
Absolutely. Absolutely. Aisha used to lead the women
of the Allahu Anhan.
And,
but the the woman stands does not stand
outside the wall.
He stands inside the wall
with the woman. Not
like the man, he steps,
forward. No. Stands in the same wall.
And she can like, she can read if
they are malleable, reach out, faggot loudly, all
that.
And they can make
the Adan and the Ifama.
No problem.
If the Adan is heard in the area,
they can make the Ifama.
That's okay.
Is it clear?
Yes, Inshallah. Next next question,
is wearing the niqab and giving a lecture
counted equivalent to giving lecture behind the curtain?
No.
Still, they will be focusing on your body.
And you see,
you don't know how men think.
Don't trust them.
Oh, they
are good brothers. They are practicing brothers. Yeah.
He is fantasizing.
Okay. I wish he is my wife, at
least.
K?
This
is the mind of
any man.
Don't trust them.
You know? That's why they I remember they
say even if his chicken has the Quran
teaching you Quran,
he should not see you
teaching you Quran.
So
he is.
Forget it.
Satan
Shaitan will pull your leg.
And, Megan,
thousands of people are watching you.
And now I remember something.
Now there is
see,
that's
we say
The prophet said,
you will follow
the footsteps of those who came before you
span by span,
cubit by cubit.
Even if they enter the lizard hole,
you will follow them.
We said, you mean Jews and Christians? I
said, who else? Whom else?
And this is what you see today.
Muslim woman and Muslim men,
they emulate
emulate,
follow them.
They go fast starting,
filming
what they do
in the family
and their daily
life.
Okay? The those
the,
tubers and
blood vessel.
Muslims now doing the same thing.
Muslims.
With his wife, with his kids, with
and everyone is seeing you and seeing your
wife.
Shame on you.
What happened to the jealousy?
What happened to the?
Said Nasar, what?
I will go and bring 4 eyewitness
by Allah.
I will cut turn both of them into
pieces.
I will not give him time.
The prophet
said, Saad, this is Allah's ruling.
The Sahaba
said the unsaid said,
don't blame him,
our prophet of Allah.
We know him, he's a very jealous man.
But Allah,
if he divorce a woman,
we don't marry. No one can marry her
because of his jealousy.
If
his any of his women
rides a horse or a or a camel,
and then a man
mounted it, he would slaughter that animal.
Sad.
Now there is no
You have shown your family,
shown everything
to the millions of people, and you are
happy
because of the likes they're giving you.
Stay in your homes.
Do not display your beauty like those women
in the days before Islam.
That's what Allah is saying. Stay in your
home. Why stay in your home?
Because you are protected. No one sees you.
And now millions of people, they see you.
Next question.
Aqi, next question. May Allah guide the Muslim
journey.
Amin, the next question I wanted to ask,
what if I overslept
and missed wither and now woke up for
further time? Can I still offer the Witter?
Also, yes. You can.
You can play the Witter's.
If there if there is time if there
is time.
Otherwise,
you missed it. You lost it because it's
not fun. The return is not fun.
As the boss said, and
Whitel is not obligatory.
Next.
The next question.
I was offering the sunnah
of at my workplace, and another person came
and tapped on my shoulder behind me and
joined me.
I prayed my 2 raka, only raising my
voice since I knew I was leading him
in prayer now. Did I do the right
thing?
No. You didn't do the right thing because
you are praying the and
he is praying to you behind you,
k?
You should have ignored him. But, anyway,
not I don't know. They discussed this issue.
Can someone playing
play behind someone who's paying nothing or sooner?
So their intention is different. Is this valid
or not?
The answer, yes. It is valid,
though the intentions of the 2 are different
because Saidna,
Muhad,
used to pay Asia with the pastor of
Salaam,
and then he would go to his locality
to his area
and lead his people there,
the Asia Fair.
So he already paid the fact. So to
him, he's paying it.
And for them it is fact. So this
the intentions are different.
The same thing the Hadith and the prophet
said, when someone comes late to the Masjid,
who can give sadaqa to this one
to get up and pray with him?
Someone who already paid.
So now the sir the the one who
already paid,
and he's paying with this just to give
him
the the
of the jannah.
K? The word of, congregational
prayer.
So he's praying within Jemaah.
No doubt, the second prayer is nothing, and
the intentions are different.
Is this clear to the questioner?
That is clear, Sheikh. And that was our
final question for today.
