We're ready,
I'm ready, Okay.
Brothers and sisters,
and welcome to our 40 5th
lesson of virtues of Islam with our honorable
Sheikh Sheikh Salim Al Amri. I will pass
the mic and the screen to the Sheikh
Insha'Allah and Sheikh can begin.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
today is our weekly class
of
Islam, virtues of Islam.
And we are talking about the points that
Muslim should agree upon.
And today, we'll be talking about
that Muslims
should know the status
of the companions of the and
should know that it is the red line.
No one can cross it.
Because if we attack the companions of the
prophet
who conveyed the message of Islam to us,
then the whole thing will crumble.
If
the
companions,
after the death of their prophet,
they became
upstate,
except
handful remain.
Ali and Amal.
So the rest
became
upstate, must have been. This they
went to.
This was some
who
claimed that they are Muslims and belong to
this.
That's what they say.
That means
all the Muslims
who became Muslims
through the Sahaba
are not Muslims,
And the message that reached them is not
true Islam.
So the Sahara
who opened all the countries,
Persia,
Syria,
Yemen, all these places.
And people became Muslim through them.
So their Islam is
questionable because
that is
you became a Muslim through
non Muslims.
It seems nonsense.
No person can
can guess
imagine something
like that.
So that's why
Sahaba,
red
line.
Because anyone who accuses the companions,
he's actually attacking Al Islam
because Islam reached us through the Sahaba.
You can ask him, how did you become
a Muslim?
Your grand grand grandfathers,
who make them Muslims?
The Sahara.
And now you are saying the
Sahara became upset after the death of the
prophet.
Don't you
know
by saying that,
you are accusing your own prophet,
Because if all his students after his death
went back on their heels
and became upper states,
that means he failed
in his message,
in his mission.
He didn't bring up them.
Okay? And he didn't
discipline them well.
And he didn't inculcate
the iman in their heart.
So immediately after his death, they
they left the swamp. So you are accusing
your own prophet,
So those guys
who talk this nonsense,
they don't know what is coming out of
their heads, really.
So
the status of the Sahara.
This is what we need to teach to
our children.
That's when it comes to the Sahara.
It's a red line.
No one should talk about that.
We always say,
Allah be pleased with all
of
them because they are the disciples
of our prophet
and they are the best among
mankind after Allah's prophets and messengers.
Those who attack the Sahaba, they are actually,
they behave
in a manner which is worse
Then
the previous nations,
They cannot even come close to that
in showing the veneration and the respect and
reverence
for the the students of their own prophets.
The Jews,
they respect
Moses, Musa,
and his students.
The Christians,
they respect
Jesus
Christ,
and
his
disciples,
and they love them.
Then
you come and you say,
and if you ask the Jews
who are the best among you, they'll say,
Musa, you surround Moses
and his
students,
Christians,
Jesus, and his disciples.
But when he asked this group of people,
they say, the worst among the Muslims
are the students of the prophet.
Now listen to what Allah says about the
Sahaba.
This what we
have to teach to our children,
And this is what we have to internalize
and accept and believe in it.
Allah says in Surat al Fakhsh, ayah 18.
Indeed, Allah was pleased
with the believers
when they gave the bayah, the pledge, the
allegiance
to you, oh Muhammad
and the the tree.
He knew what was in their hearts,
and he sent down a,
the calmness, tranquility, serenity
upon them,
and he rewarded them with a near victory.
Now
I want to
to memorize the ayaat
in the Quran
that Allah praised the Sahara.
Allah says here, this is regarding
the,
what's happened in that
year.
The
and his companions headed to Mecca.
Their intention
was to perform Umrah and
stop
them.
As man ibn Affan, the sent
him
to Mecca
to talk to them, to inform them,
the people of Makkah, that we
we didn't come to fight.
We just came to visit the house of
Allah
and before.
So they said, no.
We we will not allow you.
But you, Asma, you can perform.
Asma said, no.
I will not perform Umrah without
my prophet and the Muslims.
Then a rumor was spent
that Ishmael was assassinated,
was killed in Mecca.
Here, the prophet told him he called the
Sahaba
to give the Bayah
the pledge.
K?
Commitment,
the undertaking
for the
to
defend the,
so he called them for the.
And all of them gave the to the.
Osman was not there.
So the prophet, he put his right hand
into his left hand, and he did direct
this. And he said, this is the of
Osman
on
the behalf of Usman.
Then Allah shunned down the
An
article of assurance,
which means
most surely,
most certainly.
It is finalized.
Allah is pleased
with the mumineen,
was pleased with the
believers.
Is you by your own?
That's the shajah.
So Allah
declared and announced that he is pleased
with this group of the believers
who are giving you
the bayah
under the tree, Bayah Jabal.
There was a tree that the prophet was
sitting under it, and that is where they
get the.
And by the way, this tree was
cut
later on.
Or
other narration said,
when he said saw the people later on
going
towards where the tree was.
So he asked, why the people are going
that way? They said they go and pay
there
under the tree. He said, oh,
this how the people of the book perished.
They took the places of their prophets at
places
of worship.
So he forbade them from doing that,
and
the the tree was not recognized. They didn't
know Allah
made them
unable
to locate exactly
the place of the tree
or the tree itself.
Because in Islam, we don't
venerate
or take any
okay as
source for blessing.
That is
means will lead to shit.
Say, now,
he said
regarding the black stone,
I know it is you are a stone.
Cannot benefit me or harm me.
Had I'm not seeing my is kissing you.
I will not have kissed you.
So this is how is teaching us.
The reason we kiss it because the.
That's it.
So seeking blessing from any object,
okay,
is not permissible in Islam,
except what the Sharia
sanctioned
and approved of, like the black stone
or the Yemeni corner.
For the prophet
himself, he's blessed soul.
That's why he would distribute his hair to
the Sahaba
when he was
during the Hajjib with shaving his hair.
The
Sahaba, they will take
as mentioned in the sunnah.
There were few hairs of the prophet in
Medina. And if someone falls sick,
they will pour water on that and drink.
That's
permission. But this
is
for the prophets of the
last, but not nobody else.
So how about they didn't
consider
and touch his body
or or blessing
for Cinabu. They didn't they know. This is
something
special, peculiar for the past last summer.
During his lifetime.
So anything touched the body of the prophet,
yes.
But now we cannot be sure that this
thing is really the prophet's
belongs to the prophet
or not.
So what you can see is the the
practice of many of the
they do with their
with their, shuluk.
K? The the disciple with his kid,
even taking his,
and
all that. Oh, this is this is. This
was the Islam
warned us not to do that.
So here, Allah
says,
So those who give the
I was pleased with
them.
And those who give the Baya among them,
Abu Bakr, and Omar, and and Halim.
And, of course, the prophet
gave the Baya on his behalf.
So to attack the Sahaba and especially,
okay, those who are
the closest to the
always
find the with
the prophet
And the one chose them even after
his death to be buried next to him.
Do you think Allah chose for his prophet?
Disbeliefers?
Of what?
To be always with him?
He consults them?
He
had
a
the doses
doses of the
And Aisha and Hasa, disbelievers?
What's wrong with you?
So Allah chose mumineen
and mumina for his pocket.
Allah was pleased with that,
and Allah will not be pleased with with
hypocrites.
Allah knows.
You know, the
is a but
he pretends to be a Muslim.
But the reality of
is
He's a disbeliever.
But he pretends to be a Muslim.
But in reality, he hides his kafir, his
disbelief.
That's why
Allah made them in the lowest part of
the hellfire, in the.
They are indeed lowest in the bottom of
the hellfire
because they are the most dangerous ones,
the. And Surat al Baqarah, which is madani
Surah,
dealt with the Nifa
quite extensively
because in Mecca, there was no Nifa. No.
There was no hypocrisy in Mecca.
Hypocrisy in nifa'ah
appeared in Medina.
In Mecca, the upper hand was for the
disbelievers.
The disbelievers, the Mushinix, had the upper hand.
Now in Medina, it's different. The Muslim, they
have the upper hand.
So that's why the and
hypocrisy
started in Medina.
Those
this group, the 5th column,
appeared in Medina pretending to be Muslims hiding
their Islam.
So the munakihs are.
So for Abu Bakr under Omar and the
Sahaba, they were munakihs, Allah will never be
pleased with them
because Allah
knows. That's because they were true. Mu'mini
Allah
was pleased with them.
He knew what was in the heart. So
what was in the heart?
If
the what was in their heart
was the, the disbelief,
then how come Allah would
say
he said that he was pleased with them?
So that is ruled out.
So what remain?
That their hearts were filled
with imam.
So that's why Allah said, I am pleased
with them. I'm happy.
So
and because he saw because Allah
constantly
watches and sees your heart.
That's why my dear brothers and sisters,
each one of us should work hard
on his or her heart.
Because Allah is watching there.
Allah doesn't look at your physique, your form,
your shape, no. Or your complexion.
No.
He sees and looks at your heart and
your actions.
So,
he saw the hearts of the Sahara,
and he knew
with such heart,
old,
and health.
Because now
if you read
what happened,
they were stopped
from entering Mecca,
and they were dreaming to be formed the.
And now they can see the Haram.
Hudavia,
actually, the Hudavia,
part of it is in the within
the Haram, the sanctuary,
the border of the Haram,
and part of it is outside.
So they are already there.
Yes.
Stop them,
and that hurt them
deeply.
Islam
consoles them,
and he sent down the sakinah,
this commonness,
this serenity.
And he rewarded them with a near victory.
Our code,
the
signing of the
peace
agreement with the Bolsheviks of Polay,
but
that's so
Naram asked the pastor, I said, this is
victory, he said. Yes.
Because
negotiations
took place.
The first negotiator from came,
and
he was not
the proper person.
So Quraish sent another one,
Sahil ibn Muhammad.
And the moments
the
prophet saw him, he said,
Sahil al Amragu. The situation will be eased
now because his name is Sahil.
And
the closes of the agreement
of the peace the truce
that the Muslim this year
should go back to Medina,
and they can come next year and perform
the.
And that's why it's called the the
they perform in the next year.
Is this is a substitute
for the
previous one.
So I will call this
peace agreement with the
because
now
there's peace.
Muslims, they can go and come.
The
also, they can move freely.
People can talk
to each other and
Many, many people become Muslims
during that duration.
Then
betrayed and broke the
and breached the agreement.
And
because of that, the mobilized
the
the Muslims and the troops
and the
armies
and
took Mecca.
So here,
in this ayah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
telling us about the Sahaba
that he is pleased with them.
Those who gave the bayah,
and Allah knew what was in their hearts.
So this ayah
always use it
when
you
debate or argue with anyone who attacks the
Sahara
because
this shuts them up. Finish.
It muzzles them.
They cannot say it because either
they have to say
Allah
did not know
that they will become disbelievers.
Just saw this.
Allah said,
he's pleased with them.
At that moment,
he didn't know. This is what they say.
They say it. Yes.
They call it Al Badah Al Badah.
And Badah,
they're saying, it then
appeared later on that to Allah,
he knew later, not at that moment he
was unaware.
So they are saying accusing Allah that he
was ignorant.
And if you accuse Allah
and attribute ignorance to Allah, you are not
a Muslim. You are Khalafir
Because Allah knows everything.
Nothing is hidden from Allah's knowledge.
So
Allah knew
that they are believers
now,
and they will remain
believers,
and they will die as believers.
So that's why
he was pleased with them.
And if someone says
not all of them Allah was pleased with
them,
we tell him,
Allah says, Al mumineen.
Al mumineen.
So if you don't know Arabic, go and
study Arabic.
So Allah define them, and this is which
means all those believers
with you
who are giving the. All of them. I
am pleased with them.
All of them. Because this al had many,
many meanings in Arabic.
Among these meanings,
the al which denotes
the of the genus, which
means the entire
genus.
So all the believers who are with you,
giving the bayah under the tree, Allah is
pleased with them.
Allah says,
So all thousands of dead animals are prohibited.
Oh,
because this that's what it means.
That means all the body of the woman
is except her face and her hands in
the salah.
And if you want to exclude
from this mukminin,
Abu Bakr under Umar,
then you have to reduce your evidence
because Allah did not exclude them.
As I told you, they are ignorant. They
don't know what is coming off their heads.
So just
remember this
and try to understand this. I am.
Also, because Allah
And he said that he's pleased with them
because they were believers,
not disbelievers,
or some of them were disbelievers because Allah
hates the. So
he would not he would not say,
I am pleased with them
when they were disbelievers
or some of them were disbelievers.
It's
impossible.
Our citizen,
In.
If you disbelieve,
then know that Allah is truly not in
need of you,
nor does he approve of disbelief from serve
his servants.
Allah will not accept disbelief
from his servants.
Allah will not be
satisfied and happy
that his servant
commits disbelief.
Allah
does not
approve disbelief
punishment.
As a matter
of
fact, Allah made us in embedded in us
that we hate the
and wickedness,
rebelliousness,
and sinfulness.
So Allah
he was from the believers in man, not.
That's why he deprived the disbelievers
of smelling the fragrance
of
the,
and he prepared for them the blazing fire.
The hellfire
made ready
to receive the disbelievers.
And the
Jannah, Allah prepared
Disbelievers,
they have fire.
That's why in Sahih Muslim,
the in the famous hadith
of Ibrahim Alaihi Salam and his father, Aza,
that Ibrahim will meet his father, Aza, in
the day of the election.
And Ibrahim, he
prayed in the juliya
to Allah not to disgrace him on the
day people are resurrected.
So now he met his father,
Azel, and he's talking to his father.
And
the father of Azel is gloomy and dusty.
So Ibrahim would tell his father,
I invited you before my father,
and he refused.
And the father would say, today, I will
obey you.
So then Ibrahim will call upon Allah Subhanahu.
He said, Alan, ask Allah
for
to allow him to intercede for his father.
Allah will tell Ibrahim
immediately.
Ibrahim or Abraham.
I have made
the Jannah
heaven, paradise
or habitat for this disbelievers.
And your father is a disbeliever. So
but I can all know that's a dirty
lake.
Have a look.
See what is there at your feet.
Allah
will transform
as a into,
which means
male
hyena.
Look now.
That animal is your father,
and then this animal will be picked up
and thrown to the hellfire.
So the disbelievers
are destined for *,
not for Jannah,
and the Lord will never be pleased with
them.
Never be satisfied
and pleased and content,
k,
that his servants
have this,
or become disbelievers.
So when he said he is pleased with
the Sahara
because he knew that they were true believers.
I hope you are taking notes, my dear
brothers and sisters.
So this Allah
is telling us clearly
that any of doubt,
that he's pleased with the Sahara
because
he knew
the house were full of imam,
and that they will remain steadfast on the
imam until they meet him.
So this is the status of the Sahaba.
Red line.
And we have to teach this to our
children
and read to them,
to your children,
the stories of the Sahaba.
There are many books talks about
Hayat al Sahaba, the life of the companions.
In Arabic, in English, and also do it
many times.
Get a copy
and read.
Get your family together
and
whether
on a daily basis,
you read
the of the Sahaba.
Children, they grow up
learning the Sahara,
emulating
their them, taking them as their role models.
2 books
you should
keep reading to your family. And
Hayat Sahaba.
With these two books,
I'll
I'll
have you know, I'm not aware
of. These are the
the gardens of
the pious and the righteous.
All the, they soften the heart soften the
heart.
And then you read
the application.
How the Sahaba
applied all this Hadith in their life, and
you can see life examples
there.
So you try, you start to imitate them
and
emulate
them and follow their footsteps.
This was will,
by the grace of Allah and Allah's will,
will prevent your
children from becoming
gays and homo homosexuals and lesbians.
If you bring them
and give them the Islamic
education
and the Islamic upbringing.
So you
you increase
the iman immunity.
K?
They are immune.
The system is highly immune.
Their immunity is very high against the and.
But if our children, they don't know anything
about the seerah of the prophet
and his companions,
and they know only about the the
actors and actresses and football players and
celebrities.
What they expect?
So I hope that you these words will
fall
on attentive ears, not deaf ears.
Muslim.
They mean
it.
Abu hurrahijah
Abu Abu hurrahman Abu Bakr,
the prophet
said,
do not
revile
do not
revile, insult
my companions.
Do not
revile
my companions.
By him
in whose hand is my life,
if one amongst you would have spent as
much gold as 400,
it would not amount to as much as
one
handful
or half of it
of the companions.
Subhanallah.
Just let us reflect on this.
You spend
colossal amount of gold equal to the size
of the amount of ahad that will not
amount to as much as
half. Mud,
handful or halibut?
A companion
gives
handful of grains or half of it.
The reward will be not the same.
You gave this amount of gold, it will
not come near
to a handful of grains or half of
it,
as Sahabi gains for the sake of Allah.
This shows their status
because Allah
honored them
because they are the ones who showed them
the task,
the responsibility.
They are the ones
who went through the persecutions.
They are the ones who suffered
for the sake of Allah.
Then talk
Subhanallah, who can
imagine that you will be
closer?
Okay?
Or his reward will be closer to the
reward of Bilal.
Come
on.
Bilal
What's happened to him?
Or Suhayid
or Sumayya
or
Yasir.
They
suffered.
They lost their lives
for this gene,
for you and me.
And they took that gene to us.
That's what the prophet was saying.
Don't ever
dare
to attack my companions.
For their status
is so lofty, so high.
That is why
this was a deadline.
You should never be crushed.
That is.
Do not
accuse them. Do not insult them. Do not
revile them.
Do not belittle them.
That's
a That's
a
It's.
They are
the ones who
saw the prophet with their own eyes
and believed in
it. That is an honor.
If you read their stories, they're suffering.
And what they went through, it's unbelievable.
They experience
hunger, salvation.
They ate
they ate the they ate the
skins of the dead animals
out of hunger
out of hunger.
Abu Hurayl
said,
I was
fall many times
in the masjid
because of hunger,
and people think that I was possessed.
I had fits.
It was hunger.
The suffering of the Sahaba
for the sake of Allah.
Because Allah was preparing them,
the
Sahaba, preparing them
for this
most difficult task.
Take
the message of Islam
to every corner in the globe.
So when the prophet
told them on the day of Arafa,
those who are present
to take the message to those who are
absent.
They knew that message very well,
and they took this light,
this message of Islam.
And that's why you and I today were
are Muslims because of their efforts.
Allah made them the cause
to bring us out of the darkness
into Islam.
Today, the Ummah, Muslim
Ummah, almost 1,000,000,000
and half because of the
after
the
will of Allah and by the grace of
Allah, the efforts of the Sahara.
Then
you revive them.
You dare to talk about the Sahara.
So that's why here the prophet says, that
the
That this should wash out.
Then he
swore by Allah.
But what is the name of the?
This is to emphasize
the importance.
Of
the status of the Sahara
and the degree
of the of
the Sahaba.
By him,
in whose hand is my soul?
No one, of course,
can have gold in the size of the
Mount of
It is hypothetical.
But even if we assume that you have
this amount of gold
in the side of the mount of iron,
and you
gave it out
for the sake of
Allah.
All
that?
You
the reward of this
colossal amount, this gold of amount of gold
cannot come near to the reward
of the companion who gave
handful of grains or half of it.
Halved
it. Something glitter from the Sahara
because Allah
loves he loved them. He multiplied
it for them.
So
our deeds cannot
match theirs, and we cannot,
reach their status.
So that's why
when
the companion asked the
or prophets of Allah,
A person loves people,
but his deeds
are less than
theirs.
His deeds do not
entitle him or make him eligible
to be with them.
They're ahead of him.
What to do?
And he loves them, and he wants to
be with them.
But he is not qualified.
You know what the prophet said?
A person will be with
whomever he loves.
Oh,
you cannot imagine
the happiness of the Sahara.
So how about they joyous when they heard
that?
And then the writer say, and I love
Abu Bakr under our mouth.
So you will be with whomever you love.
So you love the Sahaba?
You will be with them.
Learn this year.
Learn the lie.
Follow the footsteps.
Defend them. You will be with them,
and by the grace of Allah.
Sheikh
This this
who spends his life
defending the Sahaba,
as refuting
this deviant
category
who
attacked the Sahaba.
Read his books.
They are there
in the net.
I don't know if they are available
and translated, but in Arabic, they are there.
Search
the books of Hashanah Elaha Huwahir,
download them, and read.
So he spent his lifetime defending the Sahaba
and
exposing
the ignorance of those who attacked them.
Finally,
they could not
withstand
his
criticism and critique
and exposing them.
So they decided
to assassinate him in Pakistan.
He was Pakistani.
And he was talking about the Sahara
and defending them.
I heard one of his lectures,
of course, in cassettes,
tapes on this day of the cassettes.
And he was defending
our mother, Aisha of the law. And and
he was crying crying.
So
he was
giving the talk,
so they send a child
with bouquet of flower,
and there was a bomb, time bomb inside,
and it exploded.
He was in Pakistan.
He didn't die on the spot,
so he was taken
to
Saudi Arabia
to be treated.
Because he was the student of Sheikh bin
Ba'at,
And he died
and guess what?
And he was buried in Baqiyyah
with the Sahaba,
So he was defending the Sahaba throughout his
lifetime.
He was
injured
in Pakistan,
died. Syria
buried in Medina
in the with
the Sahara.
So if you love the Sahara, you will
be with them.
You will be with
them. You will be with.
May Allah
raise us in the
in the company of Musahela
and in the company of our prophet Muhammad.
But this needs
to love.
Love which is
manifested
in actions.
You follow the footsteps.
You sacrifice like they sacrificed.
Of
the allahu anhu.
This is Abdullah ibn
Saud.
Abu Jahl and Makkahi slapped him on his
ear.
And he is the one
who cut the throat of Abu Jahan.
Do you know Abu Jahal
and the bachelor of Badr?
2 of the young Sahaba.
Young men, children, actually.
What the Sahabi said, I looked to my
right, I saw Muad.
To the left, Muad.
Actually,
he said, the one on my right,
he pulled my garment or knocked me. So
I looked at him and said, uncle,
where is Abu Yahl? Uncle,
see
see
the youth of the Sahaba
because that's how the Sahabi
yeah.
Both of the children.
Uncle,
where is the enemy of Allah?
What do you want to do with him?
Son, say,
just show me.
I will never leave him
until I kill him.
Then the other one on the left said,
uncle, show me the enemy of Allah.
Then what I want to do to him?
He said like his father.
And then Abu Jahal
appeared.
So so I can't
check. I he told them, that is the
guy.
He said they flew.
They're lying so quick. Let's go.
With their shots, and both of them,
stabbed him, and he fell.
And he
fell. The of this.
Then Ibn Musarout came
to finish him,
and he sat on the chest of Abu
Jahl.
And the Abuja has said,
He's saying, you mount you
mounted
a high
place, oh shepherd of the chief.
See, until he was dying, and he is
insulting Abu
Say, you mounted a high place.
You climbed the high place by sitting on
my chest
or chef shepherd of the chief.
I live in a mist road,
cut his throat.
That is a bit.
The
faqih, the scholar
of the
And
then
the. One day, the was
climbing the,
date palm tree,
and this wind blew.
He was thin,
and his shins are so weak, his legs.
Sahaba laughed.
Sahaba
laughed, and the prophet
said, why did he did he laugh? Because
of the thinness of his legs. By Allah,
they are heavier
on the scale
than the mount of Uhud.
This is
show of
the Allahu
Anhu.
Every
the said
the said
said,
the best of men
are my generation,
then those who come next to them,
then those who come next to them. These
are the best generations
among the Muslim, the 3 generations.
Companions,
Students of the
prophet
students of the students of the prophet,
the students of the students
of
the
students of the
They're the best.
The best of them are my generation than
those who come next to them than those
who come next to them. Afterwards, people will
come who will give testimony
before swearing an oath
and swear an oath before giving testimony.
This is,
agreed upon.
The highest
level of authenticity.
So the best of the Muslim
are the 3 generations.
And
then those who follow their footsteps.
And Allah, as the will tell,
the prophet
here, they're saying,
they they are the best.
They're the best in understanding the deen. They
are the best in attitude and behavior. They're
the best in everything.
They're the
best.
May
Allah make us follow those who are the
best.
And may Allah
reward them immensely
for
all their efforts
that they did for the sake
of Allah.
Place us in their company.
May Allah
keep us to remain steadfast
in this beautiful team.
Till we meet
Allah and find him pleased with all of
us.
May Allah
forgive us the false mistakes and ignorance.
May Allah
unite.
May Allah unite.
May Allah
reward you immensely, my dear brothers and sisters,
for your patience and offenders,
and may Allah elevate your status.
This life and.
Brothers and sisters, we will now start the
question and answers time.
Please send in your questions first if you
like them to be addressed.
We have received some
questions already in a written form. You can
always ask verbally as well,
to ask your questions directly on the mic.
Just simply raise your hand.
We'll start with the
some of the written questions received already,
Okay.
The first question.
Is placing intermediaries
between oneself and Allah only limited to making
dua to other than Allah?
Would you mind repeating the question?
Is placing
intermediaries
between oneself and Allah
only limited to making dua to other than
Allah?
Setting up intermediaries
between you and Allah is one of the
nullifiers of al Islam
nullifiers
of al Islam.
Because in Islam, the relationship
between
the
the
creator
and his creation is direct relationship.
No one between you and Allah.
No one.
You don't need anyone
between you and the law.
Yes.
Oh, Mohammed, they ask you regarding
the crescents, the moons, phases of the moon.
All
these
are signs
for knowing the prayers and the seasons and
the
heart.
It's Alunakan Al Mahind. They ask you regarding
men'sestimating
woman.
Say it is a place of harm,
place of hurt
to avoid women
when they are in their messes.
But when it came to
regarding himself,
Allah said,
Okay? When my servants
ask you regarding me,
So when my servants ask you, oh, prophet,
regarding me,
there's no
immediately.
I am very near and close to
them.
Okay. I respond to the supplication of the
subject.
So there's no intermediary between you and the.
This is the beauty of Islam
because setting up intermediaries is
is paganism,
idolatry,
because that is
what the Mushriks, the Arabs used to do.
So those who have taken
as
intermediaries,
because Alata was a a righteous person.
They were righteous people,
but they have taken them as intermediaries.
And then they erected for them idols, images,
statues.
They say,
The reason that we worship them,
that means calling them, that's the meaning of
the worship in this context.
The reason we call them, that they draw
us close to Allah,
to draw us near to Allah
They know
that these idols,
k, they are just means of communicating
the duas to Allah.
But they know the one who will answer
is Allah.
That's why the prophet, he asked one of
the Mushriks one day, how many
days is do you worship?
I think he said 7.
1 in heaven and 6 on earth.
So which one you re
rely upon
when you are in need? He said the
one who's in heaven. So the prophet told
him, leave
all the those
that they are on earth and worship the
one who was in heaven.
You know that also in the of
Abin Hisham
and others
that the well of Zamzom
was buried,
and people lost its location.
And they didn't know
the exact place.
So Abdul Mustaqir,
he saw in the dream
that
someone is telling him, go and
dig out and,
the and bring the judge out from the
well of Zamzar
and showed him the place,
and he did.
And he said, Abdul Musqarem,
if I get this number of children,
I will say
to one of them as a sacrifice
to thank Allah.
Now he has to fulfill
his
vow.
So according to
to their belief on their system,
they have to draw arrows,
like casting lots.
K?
So they would make many arrows, and they
will write the names of the children,
and then they will have a system. They
will rotate, and then they will pick 1
arrow.
And each time they pick the arrow, the
name comes out Abdullah.
Abdullah. Abdullah, the father of the prophet.
And this Abdullah, the father of the prophet
was the one of the kindest children of
Abdul Mas'ali
and loved among the people of Mecca.
So when Abdul Mas'ali decided to
slay
his
son,
they told him, no. Wait.
There is a magician
or diviner.
We'll go and
consult her.
So they went to her
to tell them,
okay. Go back.
And every time the name
comes, Abdullah,
allocate
10 camels and
repeat
until the name comes.
Okay. Because with one arrow,
I write in it the camels.
So keep adding camels
until the arrow comes out the camels. Then
that means
the goats
between
brackets,
small g, are happy now, so slaughtered the
canals. And they did that
till the number of the canals reach 100.
Then they slaughtered the camels,
and Abdulla was saved.
This what happened regarding the father of the.
This what Abdul Masali did. So they
they
knew
everything was in our last hand.
But these are just intermediaries.
The same thing
mentioned when Ablaha, you know,
Ablaha, the
Abyssinian,
Ablaha. His name was Ablaha.
And, he has a slit here
on his,
face,
on his lip.
So
told all the
people of Makkah to seek shelter in the
mountains,
and he was raising his hands and crying
and praying to Allah
to save his
house, to save his house.
But he was standing next to.
He was calling Allah,
but he was standing next to
because he believes that
will convey
his dua to Allah.
So to
have
someone between you and Allah, this is
shirk
and major shirk and one of the nullifies
of Islam.
The same thing today, many Muslims
do
that.
They do the same thing.
They consider the,
the saints,
holy men,
Hussein,
etcetera,
as intermediaries. They say
they will convey.
They are
just like the
ambassadors between intermediaries, between us and Allah. So
it's the same concept.
Same concept. I
I recall.
I asked one of the service,
and he was.
So I said,
is it permissible
to ask the?
He said, yes, my son.
Say, why I should,
I cannot call Allah directly. He said, listen,
my son.
May Allah guided him
if he's just still alive.
What's old?
This is made more than 30 years now.
So he said,
can you see the king directly?
The president, can you meet the king
immediately or the president immediately, or you have
to go through the the
channels? You have to go through the
second way and
and, the people those people who will facilitate
for you until you reach the king. Cannot
go direct to the king.
I said, subhanAllah.
He is equating Allah
with the human beings.
Allah needs to know one to be with
you between you and him.
You can't ask him directly
immediately.
Allah is closer to you than the vein
in your neck.
This jugular vein is closer to you than
that.
Musa, alaihis salam, said
when his people told him,
the sea in front of us,
behind
us, so they are going to capture us,
arrest us.
He
said,
I have with me, my lord, who will
guide me.
My young bee.
Allah with me. The prophet
in the caves.
Grieve not.
Allah is with us.
So
to ask
somebody else,
the dead.
You go to the mausoleum,
to the tomb,
and ask the dead instead of asking,
the ever living.
This is shirk.
This is.
This takes you out of the fold of
Islam.
So you don't
worship someone
other than Allah. You don't ask somebody someone
other than Allah
They always call Allah.
Iya can now put where Iya can study.
You alone
worship, and you alone will ask for help.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
All all the acts of worship,
you all ask
for.
Yes. Next question, please.
Next question.
Is an ignorant person excused if they go
to the soothsayers?
If he is
ignorant, that means he is
not living among the Muslims.
Let's say,
revert
revert
or doesn't know anything about Islam,
just to become a Muslim, and he did
something like that,
then in that case, his ignorance is an
excuse.
For someone who lives among the Muslims, who
hears the
the sermons and the warning of the, and
then on top of that,
he goes to the soothsayers or fortune tellers
or diviners,
then there's there's no excuse.
Next.
The next question, sir.
Is it permissible to fast the 9th, 10th,
and 11th?
Regarding the 11th, the narration as far as
I know is not that authentic.
But the 9th and 10th, yes, authentic.
If I recall,
think of the time he mentioned in and
some of the, they say the best that
you fast 9, 10, and 11,
but
the narration
is not that authentic.
So the
authentic narration that when the prophet
arrived in Medina and he found the
the Jews
fasting,
Ashura, he asked.
He said, this is the day that Allah
delivered,
saved them from the pharaoh.
So Allah
saved Musa Alai Salam and Ben Israel. So
he said, we are closer to Musa Alai
Salam than you, and Moses is closer to
us than you
than to you,
and he commanded the Muslims to fast. And
he said,
So if I left until next year, I
will fast 9th
10th.
Next.
Next question.
Are we allowed to have a grudge upon
any of the Sahaba?
How should we deal with anyone who hates
some of the Sahabas?
Of course, it is not allowed,
k,
to have to hold any grudge or
ill feeling towards.
Because Allah said
So to hate the companions of the
this is very dangerous.
So
I doubt that,
Sunni Muslim
hates any of the Sahaba.
You
cannot find the Sahaba Sunni Muslim
hates the Sahaba of
the.
So if there is someone, then he is
not from.
But this is not the way of.
The belief of, we love all the Sahaba
of the Allah.
And what happened between them,
that is that was That
was
And even
when he described those whom he fought with,
and
his people,
as in
the books of the shia themselves,
he he placed them, and he said, they
are like us. They are our brothers.
Then ima like our ima.
You can't find this in
and other places.
Okay?
So the only difference between them and
between us and them is that
regarding those who killed
Usman, and may Allah curse those who killed
Usman.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
So if you
come across someone who
who
is claiming that he's Sunni and he talks
evil about the Sahaba,
cast relation,
and
then
cut the relation with them. Next.
What about if someone worries or is in
doubt whether he loves
enough or the maximum required for the prophet.
Is there other corridors that he can try?
You see, the love of the prophet
is very simple.
It's not difficult.
So don't let the shaitan to play with
your mind and make you
doubt your love. The said,
So it's very simple.
All say,
if you love
follow me.
Will love you.
So the true love for the is
not by celebrating his birthday
and
eating sweets
and distributing sweets.
That's not the love.
The love of the prophet
is to follow his.
So if you love your prophet
and he wants Allah to love you,
then that is
the
Follow me.
We really love Allah, and the law will
love you.
So the true love of the is
by following
the prophet
So follow his sunnah,
not following the bida.
So all those who claim that they love
the and
they are fighting his sunnah and
defending
innovations
in the deal.
They are liars.
They are not
honest.
They are not true lovers
Could the one who loves someone will follow
him and follow his
sunnah. So if you claim that you love
the prophet
and now you are not following his sunnah
and you are fighting Islam,
and you advocate and spread the innovations and
the media, and then you claim that you
love the. It's
unacceptable.
Doesn't make sense.
Doesn't make sense.
But the.
Whoever innovates anything
in our method, our deed, it will be
rejected. Do not be accepted from him.
Do not be accepted from him.
So if you want
to be with your prophet
and to drink from his fountain,
just follow his footsteps.
Walk behind him and follow his sunnah.
What he does
what he did, you do.
What he didn't do, you you leave it.
Very simple.
Because the of the is either or
There are 4 types of.
That means
his oral sayings,
his actions, what he did, pray as you
have seen me
his approvals,
his sanctions,
things happened in front of him, and he
kept quiet about that
or approved a bit,
which means it's okay
because
they would not keep quiet regarding something.
And the, normally, they mentioned eating the the
the above
the type of.
K. It was roasted and was served
and was given to the.
So when he was about to eat from
it,
he they told him this is
this is.
So he left it.
He didn't touch it.
Happened to be
there,
so he said, oh, profitable. I said, he
said, no. No. But I don't like it.
Khalid,
he said, I pulled
it and started eating it, and the prophet
was looking at me, which means eating a
dog is haram.
The same thing, hadith,
That means, he said, we were practicing the
interrupters
interrupters when
a husband and wife, they are fulfilling their
biological
needs,
then the man
ejaculates
outside
with the permission of his wife. If his
wife said no,
then he cannot do it.
So he said,
we were practicing coitus and terraptors.
So we were practicing it when the Quran
was coming down,
the revelation upon the
and they knew about it. The prophet knew
about it, and he didn't stop us from
doing that.
So which means practicing the quietest interrupters
is permissible as a means of birth control
with the permission of the wife.
So this is this is the
example for the approval.
And then the 4th type of the sunnah,
sunnah tarkiyah,
which means
the things the prophet did not do in
spite of the need.
There was a need, and he didn't do
it. For example,
he didn't make adhan for the eclipse prayer.
Though the need to inform the people
is there.
He didn't do that. So no adhan for
the eclipse prayer.
So if someone comes and makes adhan for
the kusuf or hosuf,
the eclipse,
lunar eclipse or solar eclipse,
then it is bitter because the prophet did
not make Adan.
Right?
The prophet
did not make tilting.
Tilting,
this
is a term means,
when you lower the body in the grave,
someone comes down in some Muslim countries
and will
tell the deceased,
oh, servant of so and so.
Okay. And when you ask who is your
love, say my love is Allah, my deenems
are Islam, my prophet is Mohammed,
a long
formula.
This is bitter,
because the prophet
he buried many of the Sahaba,
and he didn't do.
The prophet many of his companions passed away.
He did not read the Quran for them.
He did not read the Quran in the
graveyard.
So all these are
because the prophet
did not do. He didn't do these things.
So the is not to make a gun,
not to read the Quran in the graveyard,
and not to read the Quran on those
who passed away
and ask Allah
to give the reward
to those who,
to the deceased,
the the reward of the recitation
because
the prophet
didn't do that, and the Sahaba, they didn't
do that.
If some of the later
on say it's out of,
it's okay because the reward is mine, and
I can,
give it to whomever I want.
This is this was this is his own
a jihad.
And we say, we follow the prophet
who knows the deen better than anyone else
and his companions.
Okay. Hope this is clear to the question
now. Now.
And that was our final question for tonight's,
session. If you'd like to conclude.
May Allah accept from us and you, and
may Allah
forgive us all faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah
keep us remain steadfast in this beautiful deen
to meet Allah
and find him please with all of us.
I mean, may Allah protect you. May Allah
bless you, protect your family, and may Allah
elevate your status
in this world
and may Allah
guide
our and may Allah
keep us on this meat for the, I
mean.
Until we meet
in the coming session, I leave you in
Allah's company
and protection.
