AI: Summary ©
And sisters,
and welcome to our
43rd
lesson
of Ursula Falafaa, the 3 fundamental principles
with our honorable Sheikh, Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
Inshallah, we'll pass the mic and the screen
to the Sheikh,
to begin.
Today,
is
the book
by
by
the
imam
Muhammad.
The second principle.
The first principle, knowing Allah.
Now the second principle
of the second
fundamental.
Islam
or
So this is the second principle that every
Muslim should know.
So Marfadin Islam Bil Adilah. So
to know your deen,
your Islam
with proofs
based
on proof.
Because this is our Islam. Our Islam is
not just
faith.
It's faith and the rim together.
We don't just say take it on faith
and don't
ask for
proofs.
Islam
is based on the proofs and asking for
proofs.
Allah said,
So before you say
know the meaning of it.
This is
the nature of Islam.
Imam Bukhari wa Han Muwah and His Sahih,
there's a chapter
by the title
Babu Elmi
Pabla'u'lli
Balhamal.
The title is Knowledge Receipts
and comes before
the saying, the verbal
expression,
utterance,
and actions.
So you need to know your deed
with proofs.
So my alibadeen in Islam, you will adilla.
So you know everything of your deen based
on
the proofs.
Allah said the prophet said,
so that your faith will be strong,
concrete,
solid,
unshakable
because it is based on
strong foundation.
Islam
addresses the fitrah, the nature
of each one of us,
the instinct,
the innate feeling.
So all the teachings of Islam
make they make sense.
You'll never find in Islam anything irrational,
goes against
sound intellect.
You'll never find.
No contradiction in Islam
between
the revelation
and the intellect.
There is harmony between the intellect, the apple,
and the knuckle, the revelation.
And they work together,
and they move together
hand in hand.
No contradiction
at all, whatsoever.
And you will never find you will never
find.
That's why Shabboslaw even came here.
All the massive work,
many volumes,
that which are by the name,
Rejecting
the claim that there
is contradiction
between intellect and revelation.
You will never fight. You will never fight.
And if
there is
a contradiction,
it's either
the
text,
for example, hadith,
is not authentic.
So that's why there is a conflict here.
Or
if the text,
the hadith, is authentic, the Quran, of course,
is authentic. No issue about that.
Then the problem is in the intellect
of this particular person
who claims
who claims
there is a contradiction.
On the reality, there isn't.
So the happen is not the criteria
to decide whether to accept
the
revelation or not or the narration or not.
It's not the happen.
The Apple, the Internet
should try to understand
the correct
text
or the correct,
scripture,
the authentic one,
try to understand it. So it's not lift
to someone, say, okay. This hadith doesn't make
sense to me.
If it doesn't make sense to you, it
makes sense to thousands
of people
who are more intellect,
intellectual
and more intelligent than than you.
So the problem with you, not with the
text itself.
So there will never be
any contradiction
between
authentic
text
and sound intellect.
Never be. There will never be.
So that's why in Islam,
you know your deen with proofs.
As a matter of fact, Islam is teaching
its followers
not to accept
any claim without proof.
Someone comes and says something,
the Quran teaches us
to ask him for the proof.
Produce your evidence if you are telling the
truth.
So this is our Islam.
Other beliefs or
other?
Religion in the sense of
a religion that has been
or a sharia that has been obligated.
If you ask for a proof,
they tell you no.
Faith has nothing to do with proof or
evidence.
Just you have to take it like that.
Islam is totally different.
Islam is totally different. So
you
have to know your Deen with proofs,
and the proofs are Allah said Quran, both
the prophets of Allah said.
And we
our deen, our
is based
on wahi, his regulation.
Anyone who claims something and try to say
Islam says this, Islam says that,
say, produce the evidence.
Where did
Islam mentioned that?
Where is it mentioned?
So
this
is very important thing.
This is the meaning of an Islam.
Meaning of an Islam is to
surrender
to Allah
to submit to Allah
by worshiping him
and by actualizing
and bringing in your life the belief in
his oneness
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. That he is your
creator. He is your provider. He is your
defender. He is your cherry chap.
So you have to
believe
in the the
monotheistic
creed
in monotheism.
So
and it's Islam. That's
That's the meaning of a Muslim. Muslim is
someone who submits.
If there's no submission, then you are not
a Muslim.
But that's the meaning of a Muslim.
Someone who submits
and says I obey.
I hear
and I obey.
That's the meaning of the Muslim.
Not I'm a Muslim and I will not
submit.
It doesn't work.
How? There's a contradiction here.
A Muslim?
Yet, I will not submit.
I will not obey Allah. I will not
accept what Allah says. And you're not a
Muslim.
Yeah. Not a Muslim.
Because there's no submission here.
And they want you to recall
the conditions
of Should never forget that.
Always
remember that.
So there are 7 conditions
of la ilaha illa Allah. 7th conditions.
So always
recall that.
If one of these 7 conditions is not
fulfilled,
then you're not a Muslim.
There are 7 conditions.
Then
knowledge, knowledge.
Knowing this kayama,
knowing the meaning of La ilaha illallah,
that is laamaabuudarbihaq
illallah.
The one who deserves to be worship? Allah.
Do you know do you know the meaning
of this?
No one deserves to be worshiped, but Allah,
do you know the meaning of it?
Then after sin.
The one who deserves to be worshiped, Allah.
The dead, they don't deserve to be worshiped.
Saints, they don't
deserve
to be worshiped.
Stones,
trees,
statues,
items,
they don't deserve
to be worshiped.
That's because Allah is the truth. And
all the things they call upon besides Allah
is falsehood.
They don't deserve to be worshiped.
So try to understand the meaning of La
ilaha illallah.
And the meaning of Laammarooda
bihaqq illallah, the one who deserve to be
worshiped is Allah.
Then
you disbelieve
in all these false
objects and deities.
That's the meaning of the Tawhid.
That's the meaning of La ilaha illallah.
So number 1, first condition,
nulli, not the meaning of it.
Certainty,
no doubt
no doubt that he is 1. Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. 1 in his person, 1 in his
essence, 1 in his names and attributes,
and one deity that deserve to be worshiped.
Well, Kagool,
acceptance.
You accept this kalima. You accept this and
you love it and you believe
it. Submission.
You have to submit.
Truthfulness.
Sincerity.
7 conditions.
So my badin in Islam I submit
to Allah
by the way of Tuhi through the Tuhi
that I worship no one but Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
And I absolve myself.
I abstain and stay away
from the shirk,
and anything
that will
pollute
and contaminate the.
So the
is so pure.
So you don't associate
anyone
with Allah. You don't commit shirk
whether it is major shirk or minor shirk
or hidden shirk as you know, the 3
types.
Well, it's the Islam
This is the meaning of Islam.
You sing their hand out
regarding his person,
regarding his essence. Allah.
Allah is running. Unique.
He begets
not nor he's begotten.
He's the first and he's the last.
You single him out
regarding his
acts, his actions
that he
creates,
he provides,
he gives life,
It is a lot.
It causes us to die,
so you single him out regarding that, and
this is the known as the unity of
lordship or.
And then you're thinking him out regarding his
names
that he has the most beautiful names.
So you believe in all the names
The most beautiful names belong to Allah
so call upon him by his name.
And you have to understand the meaning of
the names, and the meaning of the name
is the attribute of Allah because Allah's names,
they have meanings.
And the meanings of the names
is the Sifaat, the attributes divine attributes of
Allah.
And then this
belief in the names
and the attributes of Allah should have impact
in your heart,
in your life.
So
so you
fulfill the and actualize the or the 3
categories
of and
divide active and unity of divide active
worship all over here. All
over here.
And you have to submit
to him
by obeying him
That's the meaning of this one, submission.
You cannot be a Muslim without submission.
Where's the submission?
I am Muslim, but I will not accept
the hijab. Sorry.
I am a Muslim, but I don't accept
the Sharia. Sorry.
Where's the submission?
You have to submit.
That's the meaning of a Muslim.
So you are not submitting to Allah
because you are rejecting
what Allah said.
So where's the submission?
They believe not
until they make you, oh Mohammed,
judge between them.
They
make you the arbitrator. Yeah. Make you the
arbitrator. They make you the judge to settle
all the disputes,
which they have.
And after you judge and,
issue
the verdict,
they find no resentment
or opposition
in their hearts.
When you said in the and
they submit in total submission.
This is the moment.
No total submission, no iman.
No iman
and no Islam.
So we have to go back to basics
of Al Islam.
Don't you know that thousands of Muslims
who claim that they are Muslim?
They don't know what they mean with Aliswah.
They don't. They think
because their names
are Muslim names. And
in the
certificate of birth, his name is
Muslim name.
His parents are Muslim.
And he thinks that he or she thinks
because they have this birth certificate, so I'm
a Muslim.
So I can reject the Islam. I can
reject what Allah says and this, and then
I will claim to him. So no. Sorry.
You are deluded. You are mistaken,
and you are fooling yourself.
No submission. No is fine.
Yeah. It is simple.
No submission, no Islam.
Rejecting any
of the teaching of Islam,
this takes you out of Islam.
You believe
in all the pillars of Islam except 1,
no Islam.
K?
Like, the people, as you know, the
those who
became apostate
after the death of the and it becomes
just they refused to give the zakah.
K? No zakah, no Islam.
You reject the zakah,
you deny the zakah, they're not a Muslim.
Though you pray, you fast, you say, la
ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadu Sallalla, you do the
Hajj.
As far as He said, by Allah, I
will fight whoever
distinguishes
between Salah and Zakat.
And he fought
Those who united
the the jakar, Musa Ilham and his people.
K? So
no submission, no Islam.
Well, in the
See,
the words of the sheikh Ra'emawah
are so rich,
and they have deep
meanings.
So
he's explaining to you what is al Islam
that you have to submit.
You have to obey.
No choice.
It's not befitting
a believing man or believing woman.
It's not befitting a believing man or believing
woman.
And his messenger declared a matter.
That they should have any option
or choice
except to accept what Allah decreed
to say we hear and we obey.
That's the meaning of Al Islam.
That is the meaning of Al Islam.
Allah said finish.
We hear and we obey.
No
opposition,
no rejection
because
we have accepted
Allah
as our creator,
as our Lord.
And that
acceptance
and that belief is based on complete,
irrefutable,
rational,
material,
tangible
pros.
So we don't discuss the issue of the
belief again and again each time. No.
Because now we know.
We have the truth
of the belief in him
And we have the truth
that Muhammad is
his messenger,
and he has shown us the proofs.
So now when he tells us anything,
we accept that.
No hesitation.
We don't hesitate.
We don't.
Because he is Rasulullah
So if I have accepted him as Rasool
Allah Subha Sallallahu Alaihi Salam,
and he,
in no time, tells us, you believe Cain
or tell told me this and we accept
that,
Have no issue. That's why said no more
back at had no issue.
When Abuja has told him, did you hear
what your
companion, your friend said?
Said what did he say?
Said he went last night to Jerusalem and
came back.
Said did he say so?
Said yes. Said he told the truth.
He told you the truth.
See?
Sheikh Abu Bakr had no problem. He said,
he tells me
in no time
that Gabriel came to him and informed him
and accept that. So if you say that
he went overnight to Jerusalem and came back,
what's the issue to me?
There's no problem at all. This is the
iman.
This is the iman because he's Rasulullah.
Some Muslim today, they say, I doubt the
that the night journey happened,
Islah happened.
Okay. That is your problem.
Okay.
We don't care whether you you don't believe
in that. Okay. You live leave in Islam.
K.
To us, enough, Allah said.
And
that's
enough for us. And the and he told
us, that's it.
K?
Because your little gray matter
cannot digest it. That is your issue, your
problem.
K?
But the people who believe,
they accept that
because Allah said so in the Quran.
And then you contradict yourself.
Your mind accepts that
this person
had his
breakfast
in
America, and now he's having his
dinner or lunch
in Europe.
You have no problem with that.
K?
Because you say now, you see, airplanes are
so fast, and in the future, they will
be faster.
And if you are in the rocket, it
will be faster.
So you have no problem with that.
And
the journey from market to Medina, not happened
only by the he conquered
the market something faster than that.
Okay? Which is Al Burak.
Very fast animal.
Al Burak.
So there was no issue.
And the
didn't say that I I went by myself.
Allah said,
So
what's the problem
when the whole thing is done by Allah
And so that's why the glorified be Allah,
the one who take his servants on the
night journey.
So the imam, my dear brothers and sisters,
is based on this
uncertainty.
So you have no doubt,
and you have no choice to doubt anything.
It's not befitting the believing man or the
believing woman
that you have doubt or have a choice
after Allah decide something. And that was
the case
of the Sahaba.
Allah said finish.
The prophet said finish.
Aisha
Muslim,
she praised
the women of the Ansar.
He said,
may Allah have mercy upon the women of
the Ansar when the eye of hijab came
down.
All of them attended
in the Fajr prayer
just in black from head to toes
as if they are crow sitting over their
heads. Finished. I was saying, finish.
Today,
between double coats,
call her said, Muslina,
She said, I don't accept the hijab, and
I doubt the hijab.
It's not part of Islam.
Are you Muslim? Yes. No. I'm not.
You are.
You are an apostate.
Your ruling in Islam
is capital punishment
after giving you the chance
to repent
and to clarify your
doubts and misconceptions.
This is this is the this is the
the reality. This is the Islam.
No choice.
That you say you'll you'll reject anything of
Islam.
Before you become a Muslim, you are free.
You don't want to accept Islam, your choice.
No one will force you to accept Islam.
No
This is I actually understood in this context
before you become a Muslim.
No compulsion and religion.
So before you become a Muslim,
we tell you take your time
to study Al Islam.
Know Al Islam very well.
Keep in mind, you cannot enter Islam and
then decide and go back. No way.
No way.
Want to go back?
Your life will be ended.
So
because Islam
is the only way of salvation
and the true way and the true belief.
So before that,
no
compulsion
and religion.
After becoming a Muslim,
cannot
leave Al Islam, and you cannot reject any
of the teachings of Al Islam.
That's how the Sahaba did.
Hijab came down. Sahaba,
as you know, Allah prohibited
alcohol
in phases.
1st phase,
they ask you about the hamal. Say there
are beneficial
financial benefits in in that, and its evil
is more than its benefits.
Many of the intelligence have, like I said,
Nur Rahman is saying, Allah is going to
prohibit the but
Allah is just preparing us.
So
in the beginning, this is the first phase,
so they used to drink Alhamdah and come
to the salah.
Then the second phase came.
Do not come to paya when you are
drunk.
See
Allah,
the gradual
imposition
and prescription,
and the legal,
the legislation.
It took
phases and stages.
Allah's preparing the people.
2nd phase,
when you want to drink alcohol, don't come
while you are intoxicated
to domesticate.
So this
narrows
the
the the duration of taking alcohol
because
you cannot take alcohol after fajal because
Duhar prayer will come.
You cannot take alcohol after Duhar. As of
prayer is going to come.
You cannot play take alcohol after As of.
Maghrib is coming.
You cannot take
alcohol after Maghreb. Asia is coming. So what
is left between Asia and Spain?
So
the period is
made shrinked and made very
short.
That is 2nd phase.
3rd phase,
finished.
Final.
Will you shun it? Will you leave it
or not?
So our prohepated it finally.
So when the final
phase of the prohibition of the came,
some of the Sahaba
did not hear the
prohibition,
and they were drinking alcohol.
So one of the Sahaba came to them
and say, Allah has prohibited
Al Hamd forever,
and they were drinking.
The one who was pouring for them looked
at them. They say, what are you waiting
for?
Spit it out.
Throw it away. Pour it.
They didn't even say let us finish what
we have in our
glasses.
And everyone
blowed from his house this tops.
Clay pots full of wine,
and they smashed them on the roads.
As the narration says,
there were streams of
on the roads of Medina.
That is
submission. That's the meaning of Al Islam.
That's the meaning of Al Islam.
When the
prophet
he sent a man
to a family of the Absar,
and he told him go to this family
and tell them
my prophet is telling you to get me
married to your daughter.
And he was not looking handsome.
Was not handsome.
So the parents, they were reluctant
as natural reaction.
They wanted someone who is handsome for their
daughters.
Not rejecting what the pastor has said to
say, but they were
discussing
among each other, with each other.
Their daughters behind the curtain heard,
said what are you discussing?
I have accepted him. Finish.
I have accepted him.
My prophet chose him for me. He must
be the best thing for me. This is
the choice for my prophet.
He chose this man for me.
So that is the Islam.
That is the
Islam. Allah said finish.
This is the meaning of Islam.
To absolve your yourself,
you wash your hands of shirk.
You absolve your hands
of the shirk and the shirk.
You absolve yourself from
the shirk
and the shirk,
and you
declare
it clearly.
I am innocent of
the shirk and the Muslims.
I absolve myself from the shirk and the
Muslims.
I abstain from the shirk and the mushriks.
And you hate the shirk and the mushriks.
This is the meaning
of La ilaha illa Allah.
La ilaha illa Allah,
they are 2 parts in it in the
This is what? Negation.
Affirmation.
So the Shahada,
2 parts.
Negation
and
affirmation.
1st, you negate
then you affirm.
You negate the false deities.
You disbelieve
in all false
deities that are worshipped.
And this is Al Bara'ah
minashek.
You deny, you reject
all these false deities
by negating.
They don't deserve to be worshipped.
You disbelieve in them
as a.
He who believes in aqbaahut,
which means false deities,
disbelieve first, then believe in Allah.
Allah.
Then and only then, he has grasped
the most trustworthy
handhold.
So
This negation.
You're saying I absolve myself.
I don't accept the polytheism.
I don't accept the idol worship. I don't
accept the polytheists, the pagans.
I don't accept that.
I disbelieve in anything. I disbelieve in any
other ideology
and any other belief.
I just believe
in pantheism,
polytheism,
agnosticism.
All all ism, you disbelieve in that.
Capitalism,
secularism,
any ism,
you disbelieve in that.
This is the meaning of
the.
You disbelieve in all the ideologies,
all these
systems
and philosophies.
You absorb yourself from the shirk
and the mushrooms.
That's the meaning of the negation.
You negate.
Prophet
explained that.
He said,
See? This is the hadith.
The meaning,
whoever
believes in Allah,
sings out Allah, worship only Allah.
That is condition number 1.
Then another condition
because man shafi'a,
man wahada
Allah.
2 conditions.
This
conditional.
Article of condition.
For example,
you say.
Whoever
plants
will read
the produce.
Whoever study hard will
pass, will succeed.
So there is a condition
and then the fulfillment
and the reward of fulfilling the conditions.
Whoever
plants
and takes care of the crops,
this is the condition,
then what will happen?
Hasak, he will reap
the fruit of his effort,
which is the produce
because he planted.
Man, get that wedding. He started hard. You
were tired.
This is the condition.
Whoever does this condition,
then
this what will happen to him,
and he will
find the result of his work.
So this is good.
Conditioner.
So here,
the pastor said, let me say,
man, the same name.
So this is the first condition.
Whoever
worships Allah alone.
Then
what another
condition is going to come because here there
is
the wow, the connector.
What?
How about I be my your but me
doing it left.
So we have 2 conditions here.
So whoever
worships Allah, that's the first condition.
2nd condition,
and he disbelieves
in whatever is
worship
besides Allah. So in the Hadid, there are
2 conditions.
And what is the answer?
What is the fulfillment?
What will be the reward
after fulfilling these two conditions?
What do we call
it? K?
Which is the fulfillment of the two conditions,
the fruit of it, the result,
the outcome. What is it?
So there are 2 conditions.
The reward,
the fulfillment
that your wife.
Then his blood becomes
sacred.
His poverty becomes
sacred,
and his affair
will
be dealt with
with,
Allah will will deal with that with with
his affairs.
And his
situation,
his affair
will be
dealt with by Allah
and his reckoning is with Allah
Now
think of this hadith.
If one of the 2 conditions is not
fulfilled
if one of the 2 conditions
is not fulfilled,
you fulfill the worst condition, you wahaddallah,
You worshiped Allah. You believed in Allah. You
did not make shit.
But the second condition, you didn't fulfill it.
You say, I will not disbelieve
in the other
beliefs.
K? Other beliefs,
other philosophies,
other ideologies,
other forms of shift. I will not disbelieve
in that.
Okay. Maybe.
Okay. People that worship idols, maybe that is
okay.
Let them worship.
What should I disbelieve and consider
they believe
and what they are practicing wrong? I will
not accept this.
Then you did not
meet the
the conditions.
So
what does promise,
you are not entitled for that. You are
not eligible.
So your blood will not be sacred.
Your poverty will not be sacred because you
did not fulfill the 2 conditions.
Your blood will be sacred. Your poverty will
be sacred only and only only if
the 2 conditions are fulfilled.
Has to be clear in the minds of
every Muslim.
For example, if
you impose
and you stimulate
and you told your son in his final
exam,
if you pass your a level exam
if you
pass your a level exam, that is condition
number 1. You pass the test,
and
you scored a.
You aced all the subjects.
You get distinction.
So there are 2 conditions I stimulated.
I made 2 conditions.
You pass the a level exam
and you have to get distinction,
then I will buy you a car.
So how many conditions I put for my
son?
2.
You pass the exam,
and you get distinction.
If he fulfills all he fulfills only one
condition,
is he entitled for the car to have
the car? No.
Because he did not meet the 2 conditions.
He did not fulfill the 2 conditions.
Yes. He passed, but he didn't get distinction.
Sorry, son.
No car.
He failed no car.
He passed and he got distinction.
This is the key of the car, son.
You deserve it.
You fulfilled the conditions.
So the Hadith says,
first condition,
you fulfill
better hate.
You worship only Allah.
Allah. Second conviction. You
have to make cover.
You have to disbelieve
in anything that is worshipped.
You don't want your disbelief
in the other dangers, other systems?
You did not refer the condition of the.
That's why
back to basics,
understand the meaning of
when you say.
One who deserve to worship is Allah.
And now the meaning of the negation,
la ilaha, the negation.
Why there is a negation
before the affirmation?
Why there is kuvr before iman? Why there
is the disbelief
which comes before the beliefs?
You have to make the Bara'a
and Walla and Jal Bara'a.
Bara'a.
You absolve yourself.
You disbelieve in anything that
is worshiped.
Worshiped
besides Allah
Well, Bara, I'm in a shirk.
You have
to absorb yourself from the shirk
and the mushrooms,
from the cover and
and the kuffar. You just believe
in all false
systems,
false deities,
false ideologies,
false beliefs, all these things.
So that
is the
the the core of the issue of the
imam
of
Islam.
This is what
they they don't want you to have.
You should not have this.
We are all the same.
All the roads lead to Rome. No.
We're not the same.
We are unique.
Islam,
the only way of life
that Allah accepts,
and Allah with Allah is
an Islam.
Total submission to him.
And whoever
seeks and the duds,
either Islam as
a way of life, do not be accepted
from him,
and you will be among the
losers
in
the
hereafter.
What is known now as interfaith
interfaith
this second is a waste of time. Waste
of time. Interfaith. What does it mean? That
you are correct. We are correct. Let us
compromise. Let us
meet in a way between.
In the middle part. There's a middle way,
middle point, middle part.
Yeah.
We're not the same.
This is not Islam.
You are wrong.
What you are upon is wrong.
What you are upon will take you to
the hellfire.
We are
frank and open and honest.
That's why we are inviting you
to Islam.
Let us have dialogue. Oh,
we are the people who love dialogue.
We called for the dialogue 1400
years ago.
1400
years ago, we Muslims called for the dialogue.
Oh, people of the scripture.
See?
1400 years ago.
Oh, people of the scripture.
Come to a conno term
We should not take loads
from among yourselves
and make them equal to Allah.
This are this is the agenda the agenda
for the meeting, for the dialogue.
We worship Allah.
We associate no one with Allah. We do
not
take loads make ourselves loads and
equal to Allah
and give
them the right to legislate
and the right to make the lawful and
lawful and lawful.
No.
So that's what Allah said.
They have taken their rabbis, and they placed
their monks
as lords besides Allah.
So the condition for the dialogue, these three
conditions.
Are you ready for that?
We have been calling for this dialogue 1400
years ago,
and no one is ready for it.
If they go back,
they don't accept it, tell them. They're worthless.
That we are the ones who submit to
Allah,
so we should not be fooled.
And that is a cover of dialogue,
but not for according to what Allah said.
No.
You want a dialogue?
These are the conditions.
We worship
Well, Bara, I'm in a
shirk So the and Bara.
The Bara is you reject
the shirk.
You reject the cover
and its followers.
Our loyalty,
our love
is for the believers
and the belief.
We love them.
We support them,
and we stand by
them. So this is the Islam. This is
what I'm saying. The words of the Sheikh
Rahim Allah are so rich and so
deep and profound in meaning.
Meaning.
Islam
There
are 3
lines or 3 levels or 3 types.
Wal imam
wal ehsan.
As mentioned in Hadith,
Yibreel alayhis salam.
And each one of these
three lines or three letters,
Al Islam has pillars, as you know, 5
pillars of Al Islam.
Pillars.
For
There are 5 pillars for Islam.
These are the pillars of Islam
and that we leave it Insha'Allah
for the coming session inshaAllah, Azza wa Jal.
May Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala increase our knowledge
in the Deen and may Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
guide our Muslim Ummah and guide the Muslims
to know the Deen and understand it and
practice
it and fulfill the conditions
of La ilaha illallah and avoid the nullifiers
of La ilaha illallah
and may
Allah
bless us with the
with the beneficent knowledge
and righteous deeds.
And may Allah
keep us remain steadfast on this beautiful deen
till
we meet him
and find him pleased with all of us.
Ameen. And may Allah forgive us our faults
and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah
unite our hearts and the heart and unite
our Ummah and the heart. Ameen.
Ameen Lord reward all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters, immensely for your patience and
attendance.
We'll go to the question and answers time
now.
We have received
some questions, so we'll begin with those. If
you have any questions, please do send them
in fast.
And, of course, you can
raise your hands on the Zoom platform
and,
ask your questions verbally if you'd like to
do that.
So,
brothers and brothers and sisters, if there are
any questions, please send them in.
First question.
For the beautiful lesson.
A practicing
sister got some proposals.
The suitors fulfill the obligatory acts of worship
only, but they do not refrain from some
haram things like music,
fumes,
and they all want the sister to go
in front of the male relatives after marriage.
The sister is seeking for advice. Should she
reject them all?
He doesn't refrain from what?
Smoking?
Some haram things like music.
Okay. And then?
And films.
And and,
he wants her to go in front of
the male relatives.
And,
she's seeking advice if she should reject.
Okay. I consider you my daughter
or my sister.
And my advice for you,
that is not your cup of tea.
K? You have a saying in Arabic,
don't break your past with garlic
or onion.
So he's not the right
suitable husband for
you. And
since you
asked for my advice,
I have to be sincere, and this is
my advice for you.
Don't accept him
because he is going to affect your life.
Because the woman is so weak.
And the husband wants
he is the head of the family.
He has the power.
So okay.
He will carry on watching the movies. He
will bring movies,
and all the movies are dirty movies,
and then he will ask you to sit
next to him.
Yep.
K. And Chetan is there, and your iman
will start to become weak.
And music is played all over the place,
and then you start enjoying music,
and the Yahiliya will come back.
All those those of days
of
will come back,
and you'll find yourself leaving the din little
by little.
So from the beginning,
when the
either k?
So when you are visited
and the the one
who proposes,
they are
satisfied and happy
with his deen
that he's a practicing Muslim,
leaving the Haram and
doing fulfilling the obligations.
The document of.
And second thing, is
character.
So there are two conditions here.
He's practicing brother,
and
he has
outstanding character.
He's a practicing brother,
has bad manners,
hot tumbler,
titan,
stingy.
He's disqualified.
He's disqualified.
So when the woman came to the prophet
and said, oh, my prophet,
3 of your companions proposed, and
I don't know which one to accept. Choose
for me.
And she mentioned them. Osama,
Ma'awiya Abuja.
He
told her,
is
very poor. He doesn't have anything to
to
as a means of support
to look after you.
So he's
financially unable
to run a family and to look after
you.
So don't marry Mahalia.
Abu Jahan, he beats the woman.
He's known.
Always have his respect with him.
He beats the woman,
which means those who are beats the woman
and,
someone is known is disqualified
disqualified.
Then he told her, marry Usama.
So this is my advice for you, my
dear sister.
Don't
accept this one.
And he wants you also to appear in
front of the non mahram,
and your life will be totally different.
I don't
know. Sisters are desperate. They want to get,
married,
and there is pressure from the families.
You are getting old, you know you know
this, and and you you and this what
the the parents are saying. Inshallah, you will
guide him.
You you are practicing sister. You will guide
him. No.
You'll find the opposite.
So this is my advice. I hope it
is clear to the questioner.
Next.
Yeah. That is clear. Sheikh, next question.
Would it be correct to
disbelieve in the Old Testament in general as
it is not the correct injil
sent by Allah even though it may have
a few correct verses in it? If not,
how should we treat it?
Alhamdulillah,
The prophet
told us that he said
regarding Eilish Gita, a Buddhist scriptures.
First of all, we have the criterion
which is the Quran.
So what
this goes clearly against the Islamic teachings,
we know.
The doctrine of trinity and all that, that
this is
cannot be
from the Bible, cannot be from the revelation
that was giving to
either to Musa alaihi salaam or to Isa
alaihi salaam.
So we know this is wrong. And that's
why only the Muslims, we can
see that this can be accepted, this cannot
be.
Because we have the touchstone, we have the
the
the Quran,
the standard, the criteria.
Now
things that they do not go against the
Kitab, of course, against other belief,
like stories happened and things like that. Here,
the prophet
when the people of the scripture, they talk
to you or they relate to you, things
that happened,
and we have no concrete evidence
to refute
that. So neither believe them nor
deny them.
This is very important issue.
I should not reject.
Why? Because or say that is a lie,
and perhaps it is
it is true.
So I should not
tread on that slippery path and risky one.
Know that I believe in it. Maybe it
didn't not true.
K?
So we should not neither deny or approve
of.
And then he said,
if
what has been mentioned in the scriptures
is in line
and does not contradict
what we have in Islam,
then if you relate to that, there's no
harm. There's no problem if you mentioned that.
And that's why you find some of the
scholars who are having Tafsir
and others,
they quote, for example, in the tafsir,
some stories
related.
The Quran just alluded to it, mentioned it
briefly,
so no details about it,
about the story or the event,
and it is detailed
in the
in the scripture of the Jews or Christians.
So some of the are based on this
green light given by the,
cultured and,
in the in the,
some of the stories mentioned in the,
scriptures of the people of the book.
Okay?
So cannot say
this is totally
wrong.
We don't have any evidence of that. That's
why the Palestine said, you neither
believe in it nor reject it.
K?
But if it is
in agreement
with our Islam,
we
have no issue with that.
Some result is detailed there,
and there's no harm. So if you mentioned
that, but you have to say that this
is mentioned
in the scripture
of the people of the book.
Is this clear to the questioner?
That is clear, Sheikh. Next question. Assalamu alaikum,
Sheikh. Some people say
we cannot apply alwala walbara in the west.
What is the correct view regarding this?
Because the the meaning
of is not clear in their minds.
K. The the meaning
of that I I don't accept the disbelief.
So what stops you from not accepting the
cover?
Anything that stops you?
I don't accept the cover. I don't accept
the
what, what the people believe and what they
are upon.
What I believe is they're too different.
You see the issue that people, they they
they don't know
that, yes, though, I disagree with you, but
we can live in in peace.
That we can have peaceful coexistence.
That is something
different.
I don't accept,
okay, what you have. I disbelieve in what
you have.
Yet my belief as a Muslim that
you as a human being, I will respect
you.
I will not wrong you.
I will give you your your rights, and
that's why read the rest of Islam.
That's why you have
non Muslims living among the Muslims.
Though we don't believe in what they have,
yet
they live among us. We respect them. There's
a mutual respect.
K? As human beings,
we interact with each other. We work together.
We can have business together.
No. I don't accept your belief,
and you don't accept my belief.
You see,
a Muslim disbelieve in in the Holy Trinity.
K.
The same thing the
the
one who believes
in Holy Trinity,
he considered me
as a disbeliever.
I consider him a disbeliever,
and he is considering me a disbeliever.
So it's the same.
Can we live together? Yes. We can.
So I don't see
the issue.
I treat you. I give you your light.
You are my neighbor.
I teach you
as my Islam teaches me.
You have lies on me. Duh.
Your belief is wrong,
but you have lies on me as a
neighbor.
You invite me. I will accept your invitation.
I will invite you, and you will come
to me.
The pastor,
and when he was invited by the dew,
he accepted the invitation of the Jew.
He interacted and had business with them.
And when he died,
his shield was mortgaged
with the Jew because he took food for
his family from the Jew.
So what is the what is the problem?
I don't see the problem
to say that
I cannot practice the.
The problem that some they think
is to
my non Muslim neighbor,
I have to face him with gloomy face,
k,
and consider him as competent as we are
in the battlefield,
nope. That is not the will I'm gonna
totally.
He has rights on you?
How can you people will will accept Islam
if you are that harsh
and you don't show them the rahmah over
Islam
and the uniqueness over Islam
and the outstanding
character of the Muslims, how they would think
about Islam.
But the issue of the,
this is a matter of the heart.
I don't accept this belief. I don't
believe in it.
But someone who was
has that belief, that is his issue, that
is his,
belief,
I
talk about my belief. I explain Islam to
them and that's it.
But this doesn't mean that we cannot
live in peace and in harmony and peacefully
coexistence
as a community
and did their share for Islam.
The non Muslim, they left among the Muslims,
and Islam has given them the freedom to
practice
their faith and to protect
their churches,
their,
monasteries, their synagogues, their temples.
This is our Islam.
This is our Islam.
When
he say
he saw the Jew, the old man
begging,
he said, who's that? They say he's a
Jew.
What
what is he doing? He's begging. Why?
No one to look after him.
Said Narama said, it is unfair.
It is unfair that when he was young,
he used to give the gizya to house
to pay the tax, and now to leave
him
humiliated, begging. No.
Different from beta man. Subhanallah.
This is the beauty of Islam.
Beautiful Islam.
So my neighbor,
he's sick. I'll go and visit him.
He needs help. I'll go and help him.
Read. The the problem that we, Muslim, we
do not read our Islam
and read the seed of the prophet.
A Jewish Jewish lady came and visited Aisha
and asked for help.
And Aisha
and she prayed for for Aisha the the
Jewish woman, the Jewish, she prayed for Aisha.
Said, may I save you on the
the atonement and the punishment of the grave?
And we see the prophet came,
she asked him. She said, yes.
She was not aware there is punishment in
the grave, and the prophet
confirmed the fact.
See.
When the Jewish boy fell sick, the prophet
went and visited him,
and he offered the Islam.
And the child looked at his father, and
the father said, obey the father of Akash.
And they
the boy became a Muslim, and the and
then he died.
And the came out
rejoicing, saying,
All praise to Allah who say
but this doesn't mean
we
exhibit
bad manners
along the people
because they have they don't believe in Islam.
No.
That's not our Islam. Is this clear to
the questioner?
Allah, that is clear, Sheikh. We go to
the next question.
During Eid ul Adha, is it permissible
to offer
for a deceased?
Also, can sheikh explain the ruling on the
type of that can be offered? For example,
can family of 7 slaughter a ram,
or do they have to slaughter a cow?
The
ruling of the,
first of all,
the majority, therefore, Yomu will consider it.
Imam Abu Hanifa considered Wajib obligatory,
and
the strongest opinion is the opinion of the
Ahnaf
in this issue, in this regard.
The, over here is Wajib act as obligatory
upon the person who can afford that
because the prophet said
Whoever is able
to buy the
the the sacrifice
you know, sacrificial sheep
should do so.
Otherwise, he should not come to the salah
of alarit as a punishment for him.
And the other here is one sheep.
Okay.
The age of 6 months and above.
All a goat
for that 1 year
entered the
2nd year,
and it should be free from defects,
blindness,
the horn is not broken,
the ear is not cut.
But if the ear is pierced for the
putting the,
the the mark or the indicators,
okay, or numbers,
that's okay.
The tail should not be cut.
Should be
packed,
preferably to be a van
a van
because that's what the prophet
did.
He made the obeah, and he offered 2
rams,
castrated.
Okay. So if the animal
is castrated,
it's okay.
Preferably if it is black and white,
that was the color of the land that
Rasalem slaughtered.
He slaughtered to him, he said this is
for
Muhammad
and his family, and this is for those
Muslims who cannot,
afford
to
to have to to make the Qurbani or
to slaughter the sacrifice.
But if you are able, then
one lamb or one goat
for the whole family.
As long as the whole family,
whether they are
7, 10, 20
living under the same roof,
1 pot, 1 kitchen.
Okay? Then one
over here, 1 sheep, 1 goat for the
whole family.
If there are many families,
then they can
and they want to slaughter cow or cattle,
then the cow for 7 families, not 7
members,
7 families.
Okay? 7 families they can buy a cow
and slaughter,
or 7 families they can buy a camel
and slaughter it.
And
the one who
intends to
to make the oath here,
the one who's going, the head of the
family normally,
from the first day of the Hajjya,
1st day
of the month of Hajj, he should stop
taking
cutting his hair or clipping
or cutting his nails
until he slaughter
the Otayya
after the salah of alay, not before. If
you slaughter before
the salah,
it's not You
have to
do another one.
And over here,
you you divide it into 3 lots.
1 third for you, 1 third for your
relatives,
and 1 third you distribute it to the
needy, to the poor.
And the
the time for slaughtering
from the time after Eid,
after salah of the Eid,
after finishing the prayer of Eid,
till the
afternoon
on the last day of
the days of Tishriq.
K? So not necessarily you'll slaughter
on the first day because sometimes
the repertoire of the slaughterhouse is on the
on the first day is so busy,
and the prices, they shoot up
of the of
the.
Okay. You can
do it second day.
8,
2nd day of the 8,
and, of course, the the 3 days to
follow the 8.
So all these days, you can't,
slaughter the
animal.
So
2nd day the
2nd day, 3rd day, and the 4th day.
The 3 days are called the days of
the tashril,
And they are called the days of the
tashirik because
they used
to make the tashirik of the meat. Tashirik
means to slice the meat.
So they used to slice the meat
and salt it and put it on the
on the,
in the air to dry. So that's called
a yamil teshirim.
K? So you can all these days are
days that you can slaughter
and,
the over here anytime, day or night.
Day or night.
Regarding can we give,
part of it to the, the butcher, for
example, the one who slaughtered
the,
the animal for you. You don't know how
to slaughter. So you brought a man to
slaughter it for you. Can we give him
part of the meat?
Yes and no.
No?
To give him part of it as his
wage.
As his wage? No. You have to give
him his weight.
Then you can give him as a gift
from it. That's fine.
So this is in a nutshell the rulings
of the.
Is this clear to the questioner?
I like this clear, Sheikh. Next question.
Is it true that whenever someone makes dua
for another person,
the angels of Allah reply to him? Same
to you.
But I think I missed one thing in
the question. Can we make an
for the deceased?
The odor here is not for the deceased.
Those here are those who are living.
Not here for those who passed away.
If you want to
slaughter an animal and distribute it, then it
will be just like a
like Sadaqa. Yes, Abi. Next question.
The next question was,
is it true that whenever someone makes Dua
for another person,
the angels of Allah reply to him same
to you?
Yes. Very true.
And this is the beauty of making Dua
for Muslims
because you also make Dua for yourself because
the angel, they say,
and the same reward for you. Yes.
The next question.
Birthdays
birthday celebrations are haram, but I heard
some say that saying or sending the wish
is okay because it is not celebrating. Is
that correct?
Also, isn't this considered imitating
the people?
Yes. It is imitating the kafar, and,
it is not there in our deen. Alhamdulillah.
And this one is,
we have something beautiful more than that, and
that is the Aqifa.
But the celebrating
the birthday
and,
sending cards and Happy Birthday and all that
stuff, all these things they fall under the
same
category,
so we don't do that.
Okay. We don't do that.
Next.
Sheikh, that was our final question for tonight.
If you'd like to conclude, Insha'Allah.
May Allah bless you, bless your family, preserve
you, protect you from all evils,
from all ills, from all diseases. I mean
and may Allah grant quickly recovery
to those who have COVID 19. I mean
and may Allah
bless us with beneficial knowledge
and righteous deeds, and may Allah keep us
remain steadfast on this beautiful deen till we
meet Allah, Azzawajal Adi, please, with all of
us, Ameen.
Until inshallah we meet, I leave you
in Allah's company
and protection.
