I'm ready when you
Ready
Let's begin.
Brothers and sisters,
And welcome to our weekly
verse of virtues of Islam
delivered by honor by our honorable Sheikh Sheikh
Salim Al Amri. We will pass the mic
and the screen to the Sheikh Sheikh and
begin
Islam. Today is our weekly class.
Islam, virtues of Islam.
And we are
talking
about
certain points
that
almost all should agree upon
and should not
have any
controversy
regarding them.
Today's point that we, as Muslims, should agree
upon
is an issue related
to the belief
related to
theology,
to the creeds, to the hapida itself.
As you know,
the root cause
of
the deviation
of mankind
from the monotheistic
creed
and shifting to polytheism
was
the excessive
veneration
and respect
and love
for the dead,
the righteous people.
That's how shirk
started and still continue.
The people, they worship the dead.
They asked them. They called them.
They offer sacrifices to them, etcetera.
And there
are active
callers
to this grave worship
or saint worship.
Yes.
You go to the nurse and you see
their activities
calling the people to
connect through
the saints.
Just like in Catholicism,
saints worship.
So the point we should agree as Muslims
upon
that we worship only Allah
and no one in between.
No one in between us and Allah.
No intermediaries.
Setting up intermediaries,
this is paganism.
Polytheism.
Shit.
The jet, they cannot help you,
and they cannot
respond
to your calls.
We have to keep this in mind.
So today's point is that the zed do
not hear.
Hence,
therefore,
they cannot respond
because they
do not hear. They cannot hear you
because they are in
another life, another phase of life, which is
Barzakh life.
So there's a barrier between you and them.
So their life is totally different from their
life when they were with us.
We have this life.
We go through 3 phases,
and this
after
being created.
We live in this world,
then we go into transitional
phase,
then the
everlasting one.
And each phase is totally different
from its
former and the latter.
So the dead, they do not hear, and
they cannot respond.
My dear brothers and sisters,
many times, I requested
you,
when you read the Quran, have 2.
1 for the,
etcetera.
That is where minimum you read every day
a chapter.
It's another
one for contemplation,
reflection.
That is where you put the Quran
and this and
your notebook,
and you go through
1 verse to another.
Oh, my dear brothers and sisters,
teaches
us to hate.
But we read these verses
without reflecting.
Allah says in Surat al Nahil
aya 20 to 21.
The meaning
and those they invoke other than Allah creates
nothing,
and they themselves are created
are created.
They are dead,
not alive.
They are
dead, not alive.
Not even knowing when their followers will be.
Let's
no. Let's just reflect here.
Those whom you call upon,
those they invoke,
whether
the pagans at his time or the pagans
to come after,
the mushiks to come after.
So when Allah rebukes
the pagans,
the polytheists,
at the time of the prophet,
This is a message for anyone,
for the Muslim,
that they should not behave
and follow their
footsteps
and take on their path.
So those whom you invoke
other than Allah,
because you are not supposed to call anyone
other than Allah.
You call the the
ever living,
the one who hears you, the one who
will help you, the one who can respond.
And, subhanallah, the Muslim says in the salah,
what I can understand.
You alone,
we worship,
and you alone,
we seek help and ask for help from
you only.
You alone will seek your help.
Every Muslim,
even those who worship the dead and worship
the saints,
but they say it with their tongues only,
not
it's
it's a reality. It's not there in their
hearts.
It's not there in their hearts.
Where is a?
Where
is it?
We worship you only,
you alone,
and then you worship others.
You call them.
As we mentioned and the prophet mentioned.
The supplication. It's just itself.
You offer your sacrifices
to the dead,
one
half.
Verily, we have given you the which is
deliver on the, the fountain.
Pray
to your lord only.
One hand and over your sacrifices
only for the sake of your lord.
Not that you offer your sacrifices to other
than Allah.
You need help. You ask Allah for help,
not the who
cannot hear you. So Allah's saying,
Those whom you call, they create nothing.
Nothing. They can't do anything.
Rather, they are themselves created.
They are created.
And Allah said, and what?
What is wrong with you?
You called the dead? They're
dead.
When you see what
thousands and thousands of Muslims worshiping the dead,
crawling at their knees
in their hands
in front of the grave.
Go to the YouTube and you'll see with
your own eyes.
Shirk.
What, Allah is saying? What, they again?
Why you are here?
Not a lie.
Not a lie.
They don't know.
But the moment you die,
everything
is ceased,
stopped.
Your connection with this world,
sealed.
You don't have any connection with it?
So they don't know
what's happening
in the junior
after they left.
If our master
and the master of mankind,
say you dwell at Adam
our prophet Muhammad
on the day of resurrection,
when the Muslims, they come to his fountain
to drink,
and he recognizes
us by the signs of wudu.
So some Muslims will be grabbed
from behind
and pulled back
from his function.
The angels, they will
stop them from drinking from the fountain.
The prophet,
he would say,
my followers,
these are my followers,
the Malaika, they will tell him.
You don't know what they did after you
left them.
They changed
what you told them.
They changed what you told them.
Water them. Water them. And they will be
taken to the hellfire.
So the he
doesn't know.
He doesn't know
what his people did
behind him after he left this world.
Another example,
Allah emphasizes
and
reminds us about this fact,
that the dead,
when they leave you,
they have no clue of what is going
behind them.
I don't know.
No information.
Listen to what Allah says.
About the.
259.
The meaning?
Or are you not aware of the one
who passed by your city,
which was in ruins?
He wondered,
how could Allah bring this back to life
after its destruction?
So Allah caused him to die for a
100 years,
then brought him back to life.
Allah asked,
how long have you remained in this state?
He replied, perhaps a day or part of
a day.
Allah said, no.
You have remained here
for a 100 years.
Just look at your food and drink. You
have not spoils.
But now look at the remains of your
donkey,
and so we have made you into a
shrine for humanity.
And look at the bones of the donkey,
how we bring them together,
then clothe them with flesh.
When this was made clear to him, he
declared,
now I know that Allah
is most capable of everything.
This is not everything, this beautiful eye.
So the books, they mentioned that
the
name and.
What's that? Whoever.
So the the the most important thing that
this story, a man passed by
town
get
earlier,
completely
destroyed. Only the rumors,
remain.
Collapsed.
Ceilings are down.
Nothing is just standing.
So he wondered.
He wondered
that
this
lifeless
town
and and village.
So his
wonderment here and his wonder,
not because of doubt.
No. But because
to him,
this is something great
to be brought back.
It's not something easy.
So he said,
so he's asking
about
the how
the how, the manner.
How's this? Don't you come back again?
So that is the question
he post
that
how
Allah would bring this back to life?
In other words,
the manner of it,
the
the
the the how,
just like Ibrahim said
when he said,
my law, let me see how you give
life to the dead.
Was
Ibrahim in doubt
about
Allah's power and capability? No. No. No.
But he just wanted to know.
He was inquisitive. He was curious.
He wants to know.
So similarly
here.
So when Ibrahim said,
oh,
Allah, show me how, my lord. Show me
how. How? So he's talking about the how,
the manna
in which Allah is going to bring
things back into life.
He wants to know
that process.
So
show me how you give life to the
dead. Oh my lord.
Allah questioned him.
Oh,
Haven't you believed? He said, Allah, of course.
I believe in you.
Master.
Yes.
I believe in you. I believe in your
ability. I believe in everything you told me,
but I need more assurance.
Just my.
I want this little
organ
to be more
assured.
That's what I am looking for.
Yes. My inability
to have this
purity, uncertainty.
So our thought because
our bad minister
for us is not difficult.
Take for
pigeons.
So
called them, then cut them, then distribute their
meat
on the mountains around you, then just
call them.
And he did.
He took the pigeons.
He cut them
cut them, cut them into pieces,
distribute their meat,
and he called them, and they came flying,
flattering their wings.
So
a lost fish.
Now
Ibrahim's
iman
cannot be like before.
No. That's all.
Because he saw things
with his own eyes.
That's why the prophet said,
k. Seeing something
is not like hint of it. Not the
same. It's not the same.
When you see things,
certainty
shoots up.
Don't you see Allah
in the Quran?
He informed the Musa alayhis salaam on the
Mount of Sinai. He informed him
what his people did before
after him.
K.
He was informed.
This what happened after you left them.
They worshiped the calf,
but see his reaction.
Moses reaction when he saw the calf.
Was totally different because now he's seeing
that horrible thing
they did.
So he
dropped down
the tablets
of the Torah
out of anger,
pulled his brother,
Aaron Haroun,
pulling him by his beard.
Because now
seeing something is not about, like, hearing about
it.
So here coming through the
So he is talking asking about the manner.
So he was asking,
how could a labyrinth this
this town back into life?
So to prove to him and to show
him
life example
to make him experience this,
Allah calls him to die.
So Allah calls him to die
for 100
years.
Then he resurrected
him,
and he questioned him.
Allah, Allah said to him, come.
How long?
How long have you been in this state?
He said,
I stayed in this estate. I have been
in this
estate
for a day or part of a day
because you see, my dear brothers and sisters,
when you die, you don't feel time.
So those who died
1000 of years,
they don't feel the time.
So in the desert of the Russian, they
come just as they think. They had a
nap. That's it.
They don't feel the time.
So the we need the hour in the
graves
with this
pleasure,
deceiving
blessings and things
from the.
The souls
meet,
talk to each other,
the souls.
So they don't feel the time.
So that's why he say he he he
stayed for 100
for a century,
but he didn't feel it.
Nay.
You say more than that.
Okay?
No. You have remained here in this place
for a 100 year.
100 years.
And now see
because you pose the question,
how can I bring
this town back into life?
I'll cause you to die for 100 years.
And now look.
Have a look at your food,
your
drink.
Still fresh.
Your drink
is not didn't sound sour.
Your food is still fresh.
It's not spoiled.
The food remain
as is for 100 years. They drink as
for 100 years. Let me get to something.
You didn't think.
I look at your *, your donkey.
And we are going to make you a
sign
for the people, a sign for mankind.
So look at the remains of your donkey,
the bones.
Donkey died.
The flesh,
gone.
The bones,
decayed.
So now look.
I'm going to show you how I bring
people into life.
Look at the bones. How we are going
to reconstruct them
and raise them? Because that is the meaning
of.
Means to be to be raised.
So these
bones scattered,
now we will
put them together and raise them. So the
skeleton
is going to be formed. Just watch.
We are going to raise the bones
in.
That's why if a woman is rebellious
against her husband,
disobedient to her husband,
it's called.
It's called what?
Because she thinks that she is higher than
him.
So she's looking from above
to her husband.
And that's why her rebelliousness and disobedience
is called.
She is not his,
and the whole thing action is called.
The.
So
see how we are going to raise and
reconstruct
the the bone structure, the skeleton.
Then after raising the bones, we are going
to clothe
the bones with
flesh.
And he is seeing the whole thing is
happening before his eyes.
How? He's seeing the whole thing
happening before him.
This was made before his eyes.
It was made clear to him.
He showed the whole process.
He
confirmed
and declared
and announced.
I believe that
Allah
is most capable of everything.
Everything.
Nothing is difficult for Allah.
That's
it.
K. So
how our approach
into life is that donkey?
The same thing will happen to us when
we
in the day of resurrection,
the bones will be collected,
remade,
joined together.
So the skeleton
will will
be rebuilt,
then the skeleton will be clothed with flesh,
then the sky will rain
with water. The prophet described
it, like the seminal fluid,
then the
souls will be
reunited with the bodies, and the grace will
open.
So here, this
man,
whether
it was
Ezra
or somebody else,
he didn't know
how long he he stayed because the dead,
once they die, they don't know.
The same thing
Allah tells us in this surah, which
every Muslim reads it
every Friday,
but hardly
people reflect. So
as soon as you have
IR 19, I will
say it's about the
youth, those who left their people,
who
the people were worshiping
other than Allah.
So they ran away to worship Allah alone
and to escape
from
the polytheistic
action needs of their people.
You
know the whole story of the people of
the cave.
The meaning, and so we awaken them.
And you know that
they stayed 300 years
9
was the daughter of Sarah.
And so we awake awaken them so that
they might question one another.
One of them explained,
how long have you remained
asleep?
Some replied, perhaps a day or part of
a day.
They say to one another,
your lord
knows best
how long you have remained.
So send one of you with these silver
coins,
of
yours, to the city,
and let him find which food is the
purest and the best.
And then bring your
provisions from it.
Let him be exceptionally
cautious,
and do not let him give you
away.
Let's just reflect.
So Allah
when he wanted the people to know about
the story of the these,
young men,
He brought them.
He caused them to sleep for 300
years
a night,
and
it was turning there
and makes the sun to,
divert
when it rises or it sunsets.
So they were in that state
of yes,
minor yes,
because sleep is yes. That's why the people
are in Jannah. They do not sleep.
Then Allah awakened them. He awoke them up
from that long sleep.
So now one posed the question.
How long have we been in this state,
in in sleep? How long have we slept?
You don't feel time. You don't feel it.
Perhaps we
stayed
for one day or part of a day
even.
Then they said to each other,
Allah knows.
We don't know, but Allah knows.
So what's the matter? Allah knows how long
we have been,
asleep.
Now imagine after this long
period of time,
how they feel hungry.
Hungry.
Said
they said,
And
what it what it is silver.
So this silver coin,
someone should go to the market to fetch
food and bring food for us.
So he should go to the town and
drink food.
He
should look and search for the best
type of food for us. I'm doing it
is for us a religion from that
type of food.
He has to be cautious,
extremely cautious,
and he should not let people know
about you,
but the people, they found out.
How they found out? They said
the people, the commentators
from the coins
from the coins. The coins
were
I'm not there in circulation
anymore.
And you know the rest of the story.
So the dead, they don't feel the time.
Also, Allah said in Surat Al Namil
that the dead, they do not hear.
So Allah says
You certainly cannot make the dead here.
Cannot make the dead hear.
Nor can you make the dead hear
the cold when they turn their bags and
walk away.
So Allah clearly tells us telling his prophet,
You, Muhammad,
cannot make the dead hear.
The dead, they don't hear, so it cannot
make them hear.
Well, I just assume a dua,
And you cannot make
the deaf also hear the message of the
truth.
Yes.
The Quran called
those mushes.
Okay,
who were rebellious as dead
because their hearts are dead.
K.
Liken them to the dead.
Just in the same way, the dead, they
do not you cannot make them hear. So
those now who are rebellious, they are dead.
They don't
they are deaf, dumb, blind, as Allah said.
So the dead, they do not hear, and
you cannot make the dead hear.
And, similarly, you cannot open people's heart
and put the guidance and fill the guidance
in the heart. You cannot do that.
So, certainly, you cannot make the dead. So
clearly, Allah is saying that yet they do
not hear.
Someone who is deaf. How can you make
him deaf?
So he's deaf. Not only deaf,
and he's turning away.
He's not even listening to you attentively.
He is deaf, and he's turning away.
So you cannot make the deaf hear the
call when they turn their back
and walk away.
So here, Allah
tells
us that they they do not hear. Oh,
52.
Again,
the same thing.
Say
so you, oh, prophet
certainly cannot make the dead here,
nor can you make the dead hear the
call when they turn their backs and walk
away.
Also,
Also,
They are dead, not alive,
not even knowing when the
when the resurrection
will happen,
when they will be resurrected.
Also says
in I 65.
See
the
so clear.
Say, oh, prophet,
none in the heavens
and the earth
has knowledge
knowledge of the unseen
except
Allah,
nor do they know when they will be
resurrected.
No one.
They don't know when they will be resurrected.
No one knows.
They have no knowledge.
Finish.
This barrier
between you and them. No connection.
And then you call them?
Allah tell you they don't know what you
are saying.
They don't hear you.
You're wasting your time. Call me. I hear
you.
And now come to the.
The meaning, the prophet said, indeed, Allah has
angels
to travel
who roam
the earth, travel the earth.
And they convey to me the greetings
and salons, prayers, a peace of my nation.
This is in
and authenticated
by Sheikh al Bani in.
May Allah have mercy on all of them.
I mean,
So
here,
the prophet he
passed away,
and he doesn't know what happens after him.
Yes.
And they mentioned the hadith.
Then Malaika will tell him, you don't know
what they did after you left.
So he doesn't know.
His life
is Badriq life.
This is another life,
and they are a life with and there
will be with the lord,
like the martyrs,
with their lords.
And that's what the Sahaba understood very well.
So they did not treat
his wife in Barzah like his wife when
he was with them.
When he was with them,
whenever
they come across an issue, they rush to
him.
But now
when there's a problem, they get together,
and they discuss the matter and the issue,
and they come to conclusion.
They make it jihad.
They didn't. They would not go to his
grave and say, oh, prophet,
this what is happening.
Tell us what to do,
because they knew.
Now this is another life, and there's a
barrier between us.
So the Sahaba, they went through a drought
during the rain, and said, Nama.
Muhammad,
the year of the drought.
They didn't come to the prophet,
asked him
asked for rain.
Say, Naaman did what?
He asked Al Abbas.
Was Al Abbas dead or alive? Abbas was
alive,
and he's the uncle of the apostle.
So he said, all Abbas,
play.
Ask Allah to send the rain to us.
Though Umar is better than an Abbas,
of the because
he's the uncle's father.
And
the Abbas
made dua
and Allah sent down the rain.
They didn't go to the
grave of the because
they knew they're not allowed to do that.
And now those grief worshipers
who say
you can go to the prophet and ask
him,
say, do you know the Deen better than
the Sahara?
Say say say you know the Deen better
than the Sahara.
Say,
shame on you.
Wake up.
Repent.
Shun paganism
and polytheism.
Sahaba,
there was bloodshed. Osman was killed.
It was martyred.
They didn't say, oh, prophet, help us.
The prophet didn't come to stop his wife
from going to Iraq, Asia.
Because the Survites
many of the Survites, they say,
you are going to hear
that the prophets, they come from their graves
and they visit, and
and the prophets, he attends their
dancing circles. They call it,
and they call it,
and you they start
chanting, chanting, and all of a sudden, they
stand up.
And when you ask, why do you where
did you
stand up? Where did you get up? Says
the prophet arrived. The prophet came.
Some of them, they keep an empty chair,
but the.
And you'll hear them welcoming him.
And they are beating the drums,
the tambourine,
in the masargids.
Welcome
the light of my eye.
Welcome,
the grandfather
of Al Hussein.
What is this
nonsense?
So this hadith,
the Allah made Malaika
to inform his prophet
when his ummah, anyone,
say
Allah Muhammad
because he cannot hear you.
So Allah made angels.
This is their job. Roaming
Anyone who says
send salah upon the prophet,
this angel
takes that message
to the prophet,
and Allah
brings back
the soul to the body,
brings back the soul,
because the soul is not on the body.
So Allah brings back the soul, and the
angel informs him.
So you can send salaam
to your prophet
from wherever you are
because they are angels they take to him.
So some those who go to Medina
and they they are next to the wall,
they think
they are closer to him than someone who
is in the,
far east of the
in the south of
the globe.
You are the same.
When you are next to his grave and
the one who is in another country,
He doesn't hear you,
but the angel is the one who conveys
to him the salaam.
Have to keep this.
If this is the prophet of and
this is his status,
he doesn't hear
you except through the angels they inform him,
Then how come you say
others,
they hear
and they can't respond?
SubhanAllah. So this hadith is a clear cut
evidence.
The prophets, they do not know, and they
do not hear
because they are in another
life.
The prophet
he doesn't hear you.
The angels hears you, and he
passes your salah to him.
Created this angel.
They are roaming around, traveling
the earth,
and they convey to me the greetings,
the prayers.
So when you are sending salawat upon the
and keep keep always your tongue busy
with sending salawat upon the.
But
this
will strengthen your iman and increase his love
in your heart, and
all your problems will be
He compiled 1 volume
about the benefits
of
the upon the
Did the same thing.
Now I want you to concentrate
because this issue I'm going to mention now
needs concentration
because this is theological
issue,
issue.
Because many of the
and the,
they consider the life of the prophets
and their graves
like their life when they are with us.
And you will be surprised
that to find out that
most of the allies,
scholars, are.
So
according to the of
the Ash allies, and the Ash allies
are deviant sect.
They're not from the Hari Sunnah.
You have to keep this in mind.
They are not from Ahlul Sunnah or Gemma'a
in
the sense that they really follow
what the
and his companions were upon.
Because the founder was Abu Hassan al Ashari,
was actually one of the.
And he was the
for 40 years.
He was an orphan. His mother got married
to one of the.
Think about Ali Al Jubay.
So he grew up,
and the the futility of this
stepfather,
and he
was upon the Madhub of Marfazilah
for 40 years.
After 40 years, he repented,
and he left the Madhub of the Marfazilah.
And he followed the mad hub of Al
Kulabiya, which is very close to the mad
hub of Alishunna.
And then
he,
one day,
climbed the pulpit
and announced to the Muslims in Baghdad
that he's saying, I have left
the belief of the and
I am upon what Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal
was upon.
And he also wrote
he wrote 2 books,
Al Ivana and Usul Adhana,
and the other book,
His followers
remain
following
his old mother.
So the Martyrs are they are they are
alive today.
They're not following his mother when after he
repented. No. The old one when he was
upon the belief of the Martheza.
So the archaolites,
they say
this is the fruit
of logic
or philosophy,
Engel calam,
the
Greek philosophy,
and the evil fruit of following
the Greek philosophers
and logicians.
So when you read in the books of
the,
you'll find them they are full of these
terminologies
of the philosophers.
One of these terminologies they are using is
the Arab, the
Arab, and Arab. The Arab
in philosophy is called accident,
not car accident, the same spelling.
But in philosophy, it means something different. Arab,
accident.
So the Arab of the accident,
which is an attribute
of an essence.
The Arab is an attribute, a description.
For example,
you say
this paper is white,
so the whiteness
is not the paper.
You have to admit this. The color is
not the paper.
The paver is an entity. It's an object,
but the color, whiteness,
is out of accident,
and the accident has to be
linked to the object or the entity.
And this
accident
because this,
quality or description
is contingent,
It's not essential.
So it will not remain there forever.
An object which is white,
which is in the sun for a long
time,
that color will fade,
and then it will disappear.
But the object, the entity remains.
So because it is an accident, it is
Arab. It's contingent.
I hope that you are following.
So the same thing,
youth.
Now you are Masha'Allah.
Youth,
young,
full,
fine youth.
With that
description,
the youth will remain
now.
Now when you are in your fifties sixties
using this trick,
can we call you young man? No.
So what happened to that Arab, to that
description?
Gone.
Gone.
It's not there.
Where is that beauty,
that nice
face
when you were young?
Always,
you're proud of yourself,
sitting in front of your mirror,
combing your hair. Yeah. Happy about yourself.
Is it there anymore?
No. What happened to it? Gone.
Because it is an accident. It is out
of death beauty. Gone. What remained? The substance
only.
Now you have wrinkles all over.
It's not there.
So that's the meaning of Arab. It is
a property.
It's not something tangible.
It's not something material.
Like, the color
is an example of it. And this Arab
or accident will not exist in the absence
of an entity. There should be an entity,
which
the Arab
gives it that
description.
And then this Arab will also
disappear.
So the,
they said,
prophet see, this is the problem now.
They said the prophets hood,
Nabuwa.
So the Asharite theologians,
now they came across this problem. They were
confronted
because they say, probably to
he's Arab. It's something
exit an accident.
It is Arab.
So now they have
they are faced with this problem, serious
theological
issue,
which means after the death of the prophet,
that means he's not a prophet anymore.
But to you, prophet
is Arab.
So now
the prophet left this world. So what's happened
to the prophet's hood? Gone.
Manage.
So now they are confronted with this serious
issue, how to resolve it.
Because, yeah, if prophethood was an accident, was
a halal,
then the moment a prophet dies, he's not
a prophet
because it is a halal. It's an accident,
the prophethood.
So an ought to resolve this
dilemma,
which they put themselves in,
so they have to
make bidah, another bidah.
So this made them to concoct
concoct
make to make up
another claim. They said
the concoctions,
that
are
really alive after their death.
They are alive,
and their life is not but their life
as the ayaat and the Quran and
the no.
They say their life just like our life.
They are with us.
So they are alive.
So that they
they wanted to resolve this problem that profitehood
is Arab.
And that's why
you hear the
are saying the prophets
are alive. Prophets, they come and visit us.
I heard the on the YouTube.
He was giving the talk in the Far
East, I think, in
Indonesia.
And he was telling the audience
that he said
talking about one of the saints, the
in his town, in his city in Hadaromot.
He said, this saint
another saint
another saint
went to Medina
to visit the grave of the prophet.
On the outskirts of Medina,
Fatima
met him,
Fatima.
So to them, they did they come out
from their graves.
K.
So Fatima came and she met him at
the,
on the,
entrance of Medina.
Said, where are you going? Said, I'm going
to see your father. So he recognized her,
of course.
She said, no. My father is not there
in his grave.
So where is he?
Oh, my father went to Hagaromot.
My father, the prophet,
went to Hagaromot
to visit this saint.
Maybe some of you are laughing now,
but this is what is going on.
So the prophet, he left Medina, went to
Haggle them out,
and he didn't come
to the criminals
surrounding Usman next to him
to tell them leave Usman.
He didn't come to
tell Aisha, don't go.
He didn't come to tell Ma'awiya
and say, stop
fighting.
But he's going to have a mode to
visit the saint.
What a nonsense.
This is what they are teaching.
Saying that the prophet, he comes,
and the prophet, they visit and come
from they leave their graves.
The life
of the prophets, my dear brothers and sisters,
is
similar to the life of the Shuhada.
They are with Allah,
not with
us. Life.
Allah says
regarding the martyrs, life of the shohagah.
Allah says in Surat Al Imran, a 169.
So never think of those martyrs in the
cause of Allah as dead.
In fact, they are alive with their lord,
not with us and our with
this lord,
well provided for,
not with us.
Then Allah said in Ali Imran 170
about the matters.
Rejoice in the matters in the last bounties
and being delighted
for those yet to join them.
There will be no fear. There will be
no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
Then Allah
says
in.
150
Never say that those martyrs in the cause
of Allah are dead.
In fact, they are alive. Where?
Within,
but you do not perceive it.
And listen to this beautiful
poem
by Sheikh
Al Abbaji
Aliamani.
He mentioned in his beautiful poem, he diet
and would eat.
He said,
The meaning,
the martyrs
and the last prophets.
Most certainly, they are alive.
They cannot but
with
their lord. They are alive. Not with us.
Not with us. They are indeed other form
of life.
K?
We don't treat them like when they were
with us, that their life is life, their
life when when they were with
us. The ruling of life,
what we apply to the human being who
needs a life, that we cannot apply to
them.
Now their life is totally different.
Why?
They come to him because
they left
the.
This world,
this life,
which is destined to destruction,
this life, which is going to come to
an end,
This life which is this world which is
going one day to be
annihilated.
Because they have left this world which will
be annihilated.
Then
he
said,
whoever says,
whoever claims, whoever says
Whoever says that their life will never cease,
will never stop, that means
their life when they were in the junior.
That means their life after their death is
the same. Continuous?
It's not civil. It's not discontinued.
That that one, whoever thinks this is a
big liar
is a big liar.
Is
determined to lie.
Intentionally,
he lies,
and he is an innovator.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
this what Muslims should agree upon,
yet they do not hear.
May
Allah guide our to the
and guide those who are of the and
bring them back to the army.
May Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge
and righteous deeds.
May Allah
keep us to remain steadfast
upon this deal
till we meet him and find him
pleased with all of us.
May Allah
forgive us of foes,
states, and enemies.
May Allah unite our hearts in the heart,
and may Allah reward all of you.
My dear brothers and sisters,
immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, inshallah, we'll do the question
and answers time now inshallah. So if you
have questions, please
send them in, and you can also ask
verbally.
We have received some questions already. We will
start with those Inshallah.
Sheikh, first question, what is gossiping, and could
you please give an example?
Gossiping is to mention someone in his absence.
Reba,
this is
the
the,
favorite, topic for women in particular, and men
also, they behave like them.
Okay?
Talking, talking, eating, eating. They like to they
enjoy chewing the human flesh.
It is. It is.
She she was not looking good in the
that dress, and she her haircut was not
that good.
This is how
they spend their leisure time
eating
eating, devoting
human flesh. That's the gossip.
That's a habit check.
It's a major sin
major sin
that you mentioned your brother or sister
in his absence
even if what you have told
is true.
That's
the.
If what you have said is
not untrue,
then it is much worse.
It's worse.
Just remember,
when one of the wives of the said
regarding another
wife of the
out of jealousy.
She said, what do you like about her?
She is just,
and she she didn't talk. She used her
hand
telling him she is short.
The prophet told her, you have said the
you asked her the word. You have said
the word.
This word, if it had it been mixed
with the sea water,
it would have spoil change.
By just using her hand.
So my dear brothers and sisters, we need
to control our towns
our towns.
People will be thrown to the hellfire because
of their tongues.
Said Abu Bakr
they said he used to hold his tongue,
and he would say, you are the one
who's going to ruin me ruin me.
That's why you need to control it all
the time and try
to be
quiet as much as you can.
As much as you can, the prophet he
said, He
who keeps
silent, quiet,
will be delivered,
will be successful.
Keep this time busy with the of Allah
He who believes in Allah in the last
day should say something good or keep quiet.
And the other Hadith,
Whoever
can give me the guarantee
that he will control
what is between
his jaws, the upper jaw and the lower
jaw,
and what is between his legs, his thighs,
or her thigh, the part of the part,
then I guarantee Jannah for him or her.
Jannah is guaranteed if you control your tongue
and your private part.
So just keep it.
Keep this under control all
the
time
and keep it busy
with the remembrance of Allah
Keep planting trees
in the
You
see?
A tree is planted for you in the
Jannah.
This is far better than
backbiting
and slandering.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
We go to the next question.
If a Muslim woman lives in America, then
would she need a male when she is
going from city to city in her state
when she goes out of her state?
Of course, she needs. America is a continent.
Of course, she needs a.
Next.
Next question, Sheikh.
Is Yaseen and Taha
amongst the prophet's names?
Does the prophet
have 99 names?
No.
All this is none
not true.
Yacine,
just like,
etcetera.
These yoanted latches.
K.
They're not the name names of the.
Next.
Reading poem or not
is okay like on the professor?
If this poem
is praising the and
mentioning his qualities, his descriptions, his
Shamal,
physical features.
And,
without,
without exaggerations,
there's nothing wrong with that,
but not all the time.
I mean,
what I mean not all the time,
you have a date, so you are not
you have to keep reading the the.
You have to strike the balance. You have
to read. You have a to read.
But to read the of the and
to, read some poems and some poems, they
are.
They touch your heart. The meanings are correct,
and there's nothing wrong with that.
Next.
Next, we have.
Please
unmute your mic.
I
I know someone who,
who mentioned to me
that when he when he loses something and
he does not find it,
he he knows,
he knows the name of a saint.
He calls that person,
and then he he finds he call that
person
to to help him find his,
like, the object he,
that he lost.
And my question is,
this this person sometimes
leads,
leads prayer
in a nearby mosque.
And I'm wondering,
like, what if the imam is not there
and he's, he's told to lead the the
prayer, and I'm and I am, behind him.
Should I pray behind him? Never.
He's a.
Don't pray behind him.
And this person deals with the gin.
Okay? For example, someone
an item was stolen from him.
So you go to this Charlatan
because when this man who stole the item,
the thief,
his chetan was with him.
So the charlatan
or this,
magician,
he communicates with the chetan of the thief.
And the shayfan tells him that the stolen
item is in this place. Go and find
it.
So they deal with the jinn.
So don't play behind.
Is this clear to you?
No. No. It's clear.
I have another question,
concerning my,
my brother who had,
who has divorced,
I think,
like, a year ago.
And he has, 2 children with that woman.
But the problem is they they,
they're still fighting with the custody.
I mean,
the like, my brother wants to keep the
children,
and the
and his ex wife
wants also to keep the children.
And
so my sister and I my sister and
I talk about this because we want to,
to fix these things. And I was wondering
if if, if talking about this is,
and, also,
if if,
like,
which of the 2 should keep
the custody of the children?
Talking about this between
you and your sister
regarding the custody of the children,
it
doesn't fall under if you are discussing
what is the best for the children.
And this is called the Havana
custody.
Okay? So if children are still young and
they are
more dependent on their mother,
then, normally, the custody goes to the mother
because the father cannot
fulfill the role of the mother.
For the children, they need their mother more
than their father.
And then when they grow up,
providing, of course, the sister
is pious, righteous,
so she's eligible to be the custodian.
But if she is having problems, like alcoholic
and
or doing, leading a moral life, then they
she will be deprived of the custody.
Right?
Now they grow up. So the the boy
when the boy, for example, reaches 7 years
or 9 years,
then he will be given the choice to
choose between his mother and his father.
The girl will remain with her father because
the girl needs her with her mother. The
girl needs her mother more than her father
because, you know, she's growing up,
and, you know, she will go through the
the phase of
puberty
and issues of the
menstrual
cycles.
Father cannot do anything for her, but she
needs her mother.
So that's why the custody of the girl
will remain with the mother
unless until
the mother gets married.
For now, the girl is reached to the
age of puberty,
and now
she the girls also prefers
to live with her father.
K?
Otherwise, she can stay with her,
mother,
and
the father has, of course, to pay the
maintenance, the
for his children to support them. And, of
course, he has to has the right to
see his children.
And if he sees anything wrong in the
upbringing of the children,
then he can,
I mean, highlight it to
to either to the family, to rectify it,
or if they
no one responds, then he can take it
to the to the court, to the Muslim
judge to resolve the issue? I hope this
is clear to you.
No. No, Sheik.
It's clear.
Sheikh, the next question is a follow-up, which
is when would a Muslim woman need a
male?
For example, from city to city in her
state or when she goes out of her
state.
See, the
said No women should travel without a.
K.
So sometime,
the city is so big,
and there are highways
highways
more than 70 kilometers,
60 kilometers,
their distance within the city, big cities.
It's not allowed to do that.
But a few years just few
kilometers within town,
and people are all around.
Okay?
So there's no
privacy or privacy.
So she tells the chauffeur of the taxi
driver, the cab driver, I want to go
to here.
If this cab driver started misbehaving or something,
she can shout and people can hear and
stop the car.
But she is in the motorway
and strong distance.
She should not talk with.
Hope this is clear to all the sisters.
And win the shawrah. Allah says that
for your own protection,
sisters,
for your own sake, for your own safety.
But if you are all ears to the
feminist
call,
you are free. We are equal to men.
Yes. We can. If you are that type,
then there's the consequences.
There's the consequences.
But if you fear Allah,
if you are a Muslim,
and your prophet tells you don't travel without
the,
be safe,
then
abide by what the prophet
said.
There's a story
I'll mention it to you now
just to realize.
There's a there was a beautiful woman
came to
Hajj outstanding. Her beauty was outstanding.
And she came out from her tent to
stone the Jamarat,
you know, the Jamarat in Mina.
We shall not say, the Jamarat.
So to throw up the pebbles at the
Jamarat.
So there was a famous poet,
Omar Ibn Arabiyan,
who was known of flirting with women.
If you read his
his poems, you can see he was talking
about women.
Imagine these are the days of Mina
He
accosted her. He approached her, and he started
wanted to talk to her.
She didn't say anything. She kept quiet.
The second night when she came out to
throw the pebbles pebbles at the Jamarat,
stoning the Jamarat, he also
approached her,
and he is trying to harass her.
And she he
she felt
embarrassed.
She told him, fear Allah.
We are in the
holy place
during the most blessed days.
He didn't heed to that. He didn't pay
attention to it. He carried harassing her. He
wants to talk to her.
So to avoid
people's suspicion,
she
went to her tent.
3rd night,
she said to her, brother, come with me.
I want you to teach me the lives
of the rituals of the Hajj.
This guy,
Powhat, is waiting.
So now
when he saw her with her brother,
disappeared.
He left her alone.
When she saw that,
you see, Arab women,
they are politics.
They composed poems as well.
There were many known poets
poetess.
So she's composed
improvise immediately
and composed this
poetic verse. He said,
The
meaning, he said she said,
The dogs,
he means the immoral man
like the poet.
The dogs
will attack the and
the flock,
which are
not protected.
The dogs
attack.
Whom whoever
has no lions
with them.
So women who are not men with them,
they have no alliance with them.
They are vulnerable,
so they are easy pay
for the
hungry wolves.
No lions?
No man
next to you to defend you
and to give his life
to defend
The dogs, when they see there there is
a lion
there with the flock.
Protect
the soul that will molestess the body.
The dogs will refrain,
run away
because they avoid the confrontation
with these
fears.
Okay? Lion.
So when he saw the lion next to
her her father,
he disappeared.
So that's why
for your own safety and protection,
Allah said that you should have a to
protect you.
But they brainwash you, and they tell you
no.
You are free.
K? You can't protect yourself.
You know?
You know martial art.
Oh, this will not help you.
And they conclude with the story
Ibn Hajrin
mentioned in.
He mentioned the story of women who went
from Al Andalus and Delucia
to perform Hajj
with.
Group of men, they went.
They performed Hajj,
and on those days, of course, they traveled
by sea.
In their way back, after doing the Hajj,
the captain of the ship, every night, he
visits one of them.
He enters her,
I mean, compartment.
He sleeps with her.
In the morning, they chat and they talk.
Is this what happened to me?
And every night, he go he would go
to one of them.
Finally,
is that
the. Okay? They're,
she said,
I prepared a sharp
blade
with me.
If he comes to me,
I will cut his organ.
He came to her.
She joined the club.
He didn't cut his organ. He slept with
her.
So be careful, my dear brothers and sisters.
Take care of your women,
and sisters
don't travel without a.
Next question, please.
The next question, chief.
Assalamu alaikum, sir. Is Tafsir Ibn Kathir
also classified as Tafsir
Riwa
or Tafsir Raya?
Tafsir being
Tafsir
Like
Tafsir
properly. Tafsir
which
means explaining the Quran by the
by
the.
K.
Like falls under that category.
And, of course, the best of the
though. Imam Tabari,
or
by
Imam
explaining the by
the Quran by the Quran. Next question, please.
Next question.
What is considers
considered as traveling for woman?
It is the,
what is known in the the earth
as travel. Is that travel?
Okay.
Not necessarily to be 60 kilometers and above.
If it is known in the Earth that
this is,
then it is.
And can be the Sahaba, they shorten their
prayers in less than that,
known distance.
But this is the norm. This is the
earth.
K?
So the
the most important thing is the safety of
the woman. If there is a risk,
even if it is in within the city.
If it is risky,
then you don't go without a man with
you, without a man
because there is the the risk factor is
high.
The risk factor is high.
Next.
Sheikh, I believe that was the last
question of tonight's session. If you'd like to
conclude.
May Allah protect you. May Allah bless you.
May Allah protect your family. Bless your family.
And may Allah
elevate your status in this world and in
the hereafter.
I mean, and may Allah
remain steadfast on this beautiful deen,
and make us deen die upon this deen,
upon.
Ameen.
May Allah
forgive us all the false and mistakes and
ignorance, and may Allah
unite
our
hearts on the Ameen.
And may Allah reward all of you immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Attendance. Until we meet in the coming session,
I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
