Sheikh, now we're ready.
Brothers and sisters
and welcome to our weekly dose
of
with the honorable Sheikh Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
I will pass the mic and the screen
to the Sheikh Sheikh can begin.
Assalamu alaheem.
My
dear brothers and sisters in Islam.
Today is our weekly class,
The issues of Jahiliyyah or aspects
of the life, the people of ignorance, the
people of Jahiliyyah.
And Jahiliyyah
is
a generic
term,
covers
vast
range of meanings.
In a nutshell,
Yahiliya is rejecting
the divine guidance
and living your own life
according to your whims and desires
without abiding
by what Allah revealed and what Allah wants
you
to abide
by. And the Jahiliyyah
in
among the Muslims
is partial.
It's not total
because
after
the advent of Islam, after
the coming of prophet Muhammad
there is no total Jahiliya
or absolute Jahiliya
in in Islam or,
among the Muslims.
But there are
portions or some aspects of it still exist.
But for the kuffar, it's still jahiliyah
because they are far away
from the divine guidance.
So the author,
Sheikh Mohammed
Abdullah Show us his mercy upon his soul
and elevate his status in and
bless his progeny,
Amin.
He says,
So here,
the shaykh is saying,
Allah
forbid us,
Muslims,
from imitating them
by saying
then he quoted
what Allah said in Surat Aliyam Iran, aya
105.
And do not be like those who split
into sects and differed after clear
proofs.
Come to them.
It is
they who will suffer a tremendous
punishment
Because the author, remember, is talking about
what we discussed in the last session,
that
one aspect of Jahiliyyah and the people of
Jahiliyyah, that they are divided among themselves.
And they think that this division is something,
good to have,
to be divided.
So Islam
developed with them
and came with the opposite and encouraged
the unity, not the division.
K. So the Quran
invites
the believers to be united.
Because once you are divided, you will be
weakened,
and your
will leave you,
will desert you.
So that's why Allah
my dear brothers and sisters,
he warned the Muslims
in many places in the Quran
against
division.
All you believers, Muslims,
qasimu,
hold firmly
to the rover of Allah
and do not differ and do not be
divided
because division
is the sign of.
That's what Allah is saying.
So Allah is warning us.
Oh, you Muslim, do not be
from among the Musharik and emulate and imitate
the Musharik, the pagans, the polytheists,
who
divided the religion and
were were divided into groups and sects.
And every group and sect rejoices,
happy with what they are upon.
So that is
the practice of the people of Jahiliyyah.
But in Islam,
no.
In Islam,
we are commanded
to be
one unity, one body,
one entity.
So
the fuqa division is totally prohibited,
and that's why the Pafsa Hashem has said.
Muslim,
they have given the allegiance,
the pledge
to
Khalifa.
And
now the Muslims
accepted this Khalifa.
Then another one
came up
and said,
I am the Khalifa.
I have to be the Khalifa. After the
Muslims agreed upon that one
and everything things stabilized.
No more freedom. No more turmoils.
And now another one is coming and saying,
I am the Khalifa.
So the
prophet said, kill him, the second one.
Strike his neck.
Idrespective.
Idrespective of his lineage irrespective of
whom
which tribe which clan he belongs to.
Why?
To maintain the unity of the Ummah,
to maintain
the unity of the Ummah because
he appeared
to cause division
and more bloodshed.
So the prophet said, kill him.
Because now this he he just came,
and he claims that he
deserves the Khalifa
the Khalifa more than
the one appointed
just to divide you. So kill him. Get
to defend.
So this what the sheikh is saying.
Allah
forbid
us.
Allah forbid the Muslim
from
the mushriks, the kuffar,
the people of Jahiliya.
So Allah says in Surat Al Imran,
Because
the
as mentioned in the authentic hadith,
this mentioned last time,
Jema,
the unity,
is rahma,
mercy from Allah.
Fokka, there's unity, division,
difference
is Allah, punishment from Allah.
And when we see today our situation as
Muslim,
we are divided among ourselves.
Many
entities,
fragmented.
So
it's easy for our enemy
to just keep devouring and eating us up
1 by 1
because we are divided.
We are divided.
If we have one hand,
one body, no one
can harm us,
but we are divided, and this what they
are doing.
Divide and rule. You want to rule the
Muslim? Divide them.
Then it will be easy for you.
Divide them and turn them against each other.
Make them hate each other.
So when we attack one of them,
they will keep watching.
Oh,
he deserves it.
They don't know
that they next in the queue in the
pipeline,
you who's watching
and who
neglected
his brother
and
didn't help his brother and save his brother.
They are watching,
so it will come to you.
Just,
in some stories, which are figurative, of course,
and legendry,
k,
like the abos
Asa.
They say they mentioned the story that,
the lion
and some oxen,
black ox,
red ox, white ox,
in the in the forest.
So the lion said, you know what?
The white ox,
his color is so attractive,
so it
catches the attention of the hunters.
So the hunters immediately, they spot us, and
they
shoot us.
We cannot come and fly ourselves. We cannot
hide ourselves.
So let me eat him.
Let me finish him.
So to minimize the risk because he is
a source of risk for us,
potential danger.
So the 2,
our remaining
oxen said, okay. Go ahead.
So he finished the white ox.
After a few days, he felt hungry.
He told the
one of the
the 2,
Oh, this ox, his color is also
attractive.
Let me finish him. He said, okay. Go
ahead.
And he finished the second one.
Few days, the lion became hungry.
Said, you know what?
There's no one to eat. I am
starving.
I have to eat you. He said, I
know. I know.
I know this. I knew it the first
day you
you finished the white ox. I knew it.
So go ahead.
They told the lion, you are the king
of the forest.
Go ahead.
I was eaten already. I had been eaten
that day
when you
killed the white ox. So it is a
not this story very true.
If we are divided, we'll be guess what
happened to the
oxen will happen to us 1 by 1
because we are divided.
We are divided.
I remember
when we were at school as kids,
maybe primary 1, elementary 1, or something like
that,
our teacher bought
bundle of sticks, and it's also there in
the books.
K?
And he said, you cannot break it if
it is together, the bundle. But 1 by
1, you can break. And, also, it's mentioned
in the books.
An old man,
when he was dying
when he was dying,
he pulled a bundle of sticks
from under his bed, handed it to the
the eldest.
Break it. He couldn't.
Okay. The one next,
he couldn't.
The youngest, he couldn't.
Then he handed
the 6 individually
so they were able to break them. He
said, you are like the bundle of sticks.
If you remain together, no one can
harm you, defeat you.
But if you are divided among yourselves,
it will be easy
for anyone
to
attack you, to harm you, to
weaken you, and to humiliate you.
So
life is
the best teacher, as they say.
So Allah says,
Do not be.
This is
Allah forbids
us. Do not be.
Like
those
telephone.
They were divided
and different.
Because once you are divided, you'll differ.
But if you are united,
yeah, there will be harmony.
There will be harmony.
But divided,
there will be
division.
So do not be like those who split
into sects and differed.
After
Bayinat,
proofs,
signs,
Hayat
had come to them.
The same thing that we Muslims.
The ayat came to us. The guy the
proofs came to us.
The prophet
says,
That's what the prophet says. I left you,
Muslims,
with a clear,
solid
ground,
clear
path,
clear road, mud.
If you
just follow it,
you will never go astray.
Whoever
deviates
and diverts
from their end
will be ruined,
except those who are heading
heading
to destruction
will
deviate
from this
straight
track straight path.
See our situation today.
Muslims,
we deviated
from what the prophet
taught us,
and we are emulating
and imitating
the what Allah said.
We should not do like them.
We're following their footsteps,
and we
facilitate
and enable them
to implement their schemes and plans.
Yes. They are scheming, planning, plotting,
conspiring.
But
had
we been united,
they wouldn't have succeeded.
They wouldn't.
But because we are divided among ourselves,
because we drifted away from the deal,
then it is easy for them
to
conquer our lands,
to loot our resources,
and to humiliate us.
Easy for them. Because of us,
our division facilitates and paves the the way
for them
way for them.
Because we
do not pay attention to what Allah says.
We are heedless.
We don't listen
to what Allah tells us.
Won't we don't pay attention
to Allah's warnings.
Many of us are narrow minded
narrow minded.
They don't see
more than
few meters.
They don't see what was going on. They
don't see what their enemies
are trying to get.
And some of us,
Muslims,
fools,
they are used
by the enemies. They are fools, and they
are used by the enemies.
The enemies, they throw the bait for them,
and they swallow it.
See the enemies and what they are doing.
K?
We are not against
Islam.
We are against the terrorists.
The fundamentalists,
not against the moderate Muslims or neutral Muslims.
Really?
So who are the terrorists,
and who are
the Muslim who are neutral and moderate? Who
are they?
The terrorists,
the hardcore
Muslims
are the ones
who follow what the Quran says.
The ones who follow
what their prophet told them.
The ones who asked their women to cover
up,
the ones who are against
against
against
all
Haram transactions.
These are terrorists,
extremist.
So that is
the definition for the terrorist,
extremist,
fundamentalists.
And who are the moderate?
Who are the neutral?
Oh, the easygoing one.
Okay?
No problem.
The modernist.
K?
The secularist.
Advocates of LGBT.
Those are the
our guys.
These are the ones who will
open the doors of the palace from inside,
the doors of the castle from inside.
So they will tell us, welcome.
Come.
K?
They are actually
helping us.
Those are the 5th column,
so we have to keep them and encourage
them. Yes.
You are
moderate. You are neutral. You are open minded.
K?
Those who will say,
no difference between us and you. There's no
difference between
unity
and
shirk. No difference between monotheism
and polytheism
and paganism.
No difference.
We are all human being.
This human brotherhood,
We are 1.
You are the 1. So those are the
ones. They want them.
And some, they are naive.
Some
some, they know what they are doing, and
they
are implementing the agenda.
Some, they are naive. They are used,
and they don't know that they are used.
Bayinat came to the Muslims.
Clear proofs came to the Muslims.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam left us
on that clear path.
Yet
the ummah is drifting away.
And if we keep in drifting
and deviating,
situation
will become worse and worse.
Worse and worse,
worse and worse.
But if we come back to Allah
and hold to the robe of Allah,
Allah will take care of us.
Be patient
and have taqwa. Be Allah
and repent and come back to Allah.
Their plotting, their planning will not harm you
the least.
But if we continue
leaving the deed,
shunning and
discarding
what Allah says
and emulating the mushriks and the kuffar,
then
calamities
will fall
upon us.
Allah's wrath and anger
will fall upon us. May Allah save us
from that.
May Allah
guide us to come back to him.
And Allah said,
because of this division,
see what awaits
punishment. Hellfire.
And then Allah describes it and say,
tremendous, great.
So imagine the the magnitude
of this function
because of the division,
because of following
the
people of Kufr,
the prophet
When you read his seeraun, you read his
sunnah,
he was always
emphasizing
upon the importance
to of
maintaining
our personality,
our identity
as Muslims,
not to emulate,
not to follow them, the kuffar.
Nothing.
So much so that they said,
what is wrong with this man, the prophet?
Anything we do, he does the opposite.
Opposite.
He does the opposite.
He said, you play in your shoes if
you are in the open,
not in the masjid. It's the open
picnic journey.
Sunnah. He said, play in your shoes
because the Jews, they don't play in their
shoes.
So play in your shoes.
That's what they said.
Be different from the Jews and the Christians.
Trim your mustaches
and spear your beards.
When he arrived in Medina,
he found the youth fasting,
The.
People used to fast before Islam even in
Jahiliyyah.
So he asked,
why are you fasting,
asked the Jews. They said, this is the
day
we were delivered, and Allah saved us from
pharaoh,
the Passover.
That's this day
that we Allah saved us
from the truce
and the tyranny of Ra'un,
so we thank Allah and fast.
The prophet
said,
indeed, we Muslims are closer to Moses than
you,
and he told the Muslims to fast.
And the Muslims fasted.
Then he said,
if I live until next year,
I will fast to the 9th 10th
to be different from them.
Allah guided us the Muslims to the Yiman,
the Friday, and he made
the people, Jews and Christian, to follow us,
Saturday
Sunday aftersh.
The people of the scripture,
Jews and Christians,
We know woman
gets her,
period, mentions.
The Jews,
the religious ones,
they will
ask her to leave the house,
And there is a special room for her
next
adjacent to the
to the house
within, of course,
the fence well, the etcetera.
And everything is there, what she needs.
And she has to remain in that room
until she is clean,
then she can
come inside.
The Christians,
they sleep with the women when they have
their menses.
Islam, the opposite.
A woman gets her menses.
We don't tell her to leave
the house.
You live with her, and she cooks for
you and everything.
And
she sleeps in the on the same bed
with you
as,
I think.
She was sleeping next to the and
then she got her period, so
she got up, changed her dress, and came
back and slept.
Said, oh, Nabisti, you got your period? She
said yes. She said, no problem.
I have said,
the professor
used to
tell us when one gets her period
to cover the lower part, the covering the
private part,
and he would be fondling with the upper
part of the body,
which means
it is halal for a husband when his
wife is having her menses
to fondle and foreplay
with the upper part of her body
until he is relieved.
What is prohibited
is the Mahil.
Avoid
approaching women in the place of hurt,
and the Mahid is the place of the
hurt, which is
the prophet's part.
So the prophet
he was totally teaching the Muslims
to be different
from the
non Muslims,
even
about
things that we think as normal
things, like calming one's hair. Combing your hair
is not a bada.
It is adah, habit.
So
the
prophet
used to comb his hair
backward.
Then he saw that the non Muslims were
doing that, so he parted his hair
on the middle,
parted it.
And today,
see the Muslims.
The Muslim
identity
is lost.
Infidelity
complex.
We emitate them, emulate them.
Whatever they do,
we do it.
See the Muslim women. See the Muslim girls.
See see the Muslim youth.
See their hairstyle.
See their trousers,
tone,
cut here and there, and they are pulled
down and part of his is shown.
Muslim girls, hair dress is shown.
Hair ties are shown.
Is
shown.
Blind imitation
because we have this inferiority
complex.
We feel others are better than us. That's
why we emulate
them
and imitate them.
And we see the fulfillment of the hadith
of the prophet
when he said, let
that
to be
on.
Hebrew and
We see the fulfillment of his prophecies.
You are going to follow
the footsteps
of those who preceded
you,
those who came before you.
Ship will be shipped, span by span,
cubit by cubit.
Step by step.
Whatever you do, guys, we'll do it.
We'll just follow you.
Khalil girls, they have many rings on their
lips. Muslim girls do the same thing,
piercing
their lips.
Let that tab your own now. You are
going to follow.
Most certainly.
See the emphasis.
Assuring that you are going to do this.
Undoubtedly,
you are going to do this.
The ways and the sunan,
the styles of those who
preceded you.
And then you say span by span. This
is the span.
You are moving behind them,
maintaining the rhythm.
Span by span, cubit by cubit.
Didn't you see the prophet said what?
The
is
a type of reptile
lives in deserts.
Said if this
and, of course, the the the the whole
of the
dog,
the yokel,
is very small.
He said even
and, of course, it is impossible,
but this to to
emphasize
upon the
the magnitude
of imitation
that Muslims
will have.
Even if they assume let's
just
assume that they
the non believers
managed to enter the lizard hole,
the hole of the temple.
You will also squeeze yourself
squeeze yourself into that hole,
and you'll be begging them,
oh, don't leave us out.
We want to be with you in this
hole.
The Sahara was shocked.
Is it possible?
The Muslims'
time will come
when Muslims
will
imitate and follow
the non believers.
So that's why they said,
oh, prophet of Allah, do you mean
the Jews and the Christians?
Do
you mean a time will come
when Muslims
will follow the Jews and the Christians?
The prophet said, come on.
Who else?
For whom else? Yes.
Yes. They will
follow the Jews and the Christians,
and that's what we are seeing.
You see it
when Allah is warning us.
And you,
every Muslim here reads
to us the sittwa.
So
the path of those whom you are pleased
with and whom you bestowed upon them their
blessings and bounties.
Save us our lord from the way and
the path of those who
got your wrath and anger
or brought and anchored upon themselves, your wrath,
and anger.
And you know who are they?
Not depart on the way of those who
went astray, and you know what the ayah
refers
whom the ayah refers to.
That's what you say in your salah.
You, Muslim,
then
show me the path of those
that Allah
showered his wrath and anger on upon them.
Show me the way.
I love it.
Show me the way of those who went
astray. I love it.
And you adopt
it, and you follow it, and some, they
defend it.
Then the author said,
And he, Allah, has forbidden us
from splitting up into sects in the religion.
By his saying, by Allah.
Allah's saying,
And hold firmly to the robe of Allah
and do not be divided.
Remember Allah's favor upon you when you were
enemies.
Then he then
he united your hearts,
so you, by his grace, became brothers.
And you were at the blink of a
fiery pit,
and he saved you from it.
This is how Allah makes his revelations
clear to you
so that you may be rightly guided.
Let us reflect.
This is what Allah commands us.
So now my question to myself and to
everyone,
everyone should question himself.
Am I ready
to keep holding to the role of Allah
and not to cause any division
and not to be divided?
Everyone.
I should not contribute
to any division in my.
I will not be a tool for the
enemies of my.
I will not be
a tool
for the
planners, the plotters
who are trying and working
day and night
to
harm my ummah.
I have to be smart, intelligent,
and should be vigilant,
and they should not swallow the page
that they throw for me.
Allah is addressing the Muslims.
The of Allah, which is
sent from heaven.
If we hold it, we'll be attached
to our creator.
This is the lifeline.
You will be
rescued
if you keep holding it.
So how about they understood this very well?
In the Hajj,
you know the prophet
he performed
the Hajj,
and
in Mina, he was shortening the salawat,
shortening the prayers.
Duhr Turakas, Asu Turakas,
Rishal Turakas,
Maghrib, of course, and, no shortening.
That's the sunnah.
And the Muslims,
There were 100,000.
They saw that.
When
he became the Khalifa, and he was
the in the Hajj.
In Mina, he played
the.
See, now Abdul Labnu
Mas'ud
objected,
and he said, this is not correct. This
is not the sunnah. It's not the way
the prophet did.
That's what he said.
But then the the salah started.
He got up
to play behind.
Though he mentioned
that critique
and
criticize what, Shirdar Uthman did.
But when the salah started, he got up
and joined the salah.
When he was asked,
you told us that this is not the
sunnah, but yet yet you followed him, and
you joined the salah.
See the understanding of say no. Said.
Division,
disagreeing,
disagreement
is evil.
And this shows his fit and understanding.
Yes. I disagree.
Yes. I know. The soon as not this.
But if
I decide not to pray behind him, I'm
going to cause division among the Muslims.
And this is evil, and this is prohibited.
Because the Sahaba, they understood
this very, very well,
the unity. And that's why
k, you know, the
the the the the the
the fight that happened between the Sahaba,
it is for this one to keep the
unity.
Shaitna Ali,
when he fought the because
he said the the Muslim should have only
1 Khalifa.
Sayidina Ali is a Khalifa. No.
Sayidina
Ali to
hand over the criminals who killed
Osman. That's it.
So he was not against that Sidna Ali
is the Khalifa.
And that's why immediately when
Al Hassan Ibn Ali
became Khalifa,
he called.
He said, come. Come.
We have to maintain
the unity of the Ummah. You are the
Khalifa.
You are the Khalifa. Take care of the
Muslim Ummah.
And that's why that year is called Amu
Jemaah, the year of the unity.
If you read in the books of Tafsir
and Naswab in the,
they mentioned they said this came down
regarding the Ansar,
Aus al Hazaraj.
Allah reminds them.
And remember
Allah's
naymah,
blessing, favor
upon you.
If kuntum adar,
you answered,
also, before,
though you were cousins, but you were killing
each other.
See,
in Medina,
the Aus and the Hazarik, who later on
became the Ansar,
cousins.
One tribe, Al Azd,
and all of them are Yemenites.
So all the Ansar are Yemenis Yemenites.
So
cousins,
oath, Hazaraj,
and one tribe
supported by a group of the non Muslims.
That other tribe by another group of the
non Muslims, and they keep them fighting each
other, the and the.
That's why,
after they became Muslims,
and now they are Al Saar.
One of the enemies of Islam, the non
Muslims, he passed by
Al Aus and the Hazarajah,
and he found them in a cozy atmosphere,
chatting, loving,
Properly
atmosphere.
He didn't like that. And by the way,
keep in mind,
the enemies of Islam, they don't like Muslims
to get together. They don't like it.
If they see any attempt any attempt
that the Muslim, they want to come together,
they work,
and they mobilize
all their machines
to stop that
from happening.
So he didn't like it. So what what
to do? He thought, shaitan whispered to him,
oh, one thing.
He just
reminded the Aus and the Hazaray
about one of the
battle
that happened between them,
Yom 'as, the day of 'as.
When he said that,
he triggers
the Jahiliyyah,
and Jahiliyyah
came up
all these Jahiliyyah
beliefs.
And the house,
they pulled their swords.
Everyone built his sword
to kill his mother.
So one of Sahaba, he ran to the
prophet
to inform them. He said, come, oh prophet
of Allah. They are go the unsala are
going to kill each other.
The prophet came,
and he told them,
Back to the call of Jahiliyyah.
When I am present among you,
behind your backs, I'm living with you.
You're not far from me.
I'm still alive.
And you went back on your heels
and reviving Yahiliya.
Leave it, the Jahiliya, the cone of Jahiliya.
It is rotten,
stinky.
And Sahar realized that they swallowed the the
bait,
and that shaitan
who mentioned that
he meant only to
create hatred and to cause them
and to provoke them to
fight and kill each other.
So Allah reminds them what's. It's
You were enemies.
Allah brought your hearts together.
It is Islam, my dear brothers and sisters,
that unites
our hearts
and unites this Ummah, Islam.
Without Islam, there will not be unity among
the Muslims.
And that what the enemies of Islam, they
know very well,
and they are walking around the clock.
Don't
let the Muslims
go back
to their Islam.
Should not allow them to go back to
their Islam
because that is the real strength.
That is the real
source
of strength is there.
If they go back to their Islam,
we can do nothing for them.
Nothing.
So we should try
to push them from Islam
as much as we can.
Spread moral corruption,
brainwash their minds,
spoil their kids,
spoil their educational
system.
Do everything.
But we should not allow them
to go back to the Deen of Al
Islam
Once they go back to Islam,
we can't do nothing because
Allah will be with them, and we cannot
defeat Allah.
Very simple.
Cannot defeat Allah.
We cannot fight Allah
because Allah promised them.
It is
incumbent upon us.
Duty on us, Allah imposed it in in
himself. Our promise
to grant victory to the
The
isza, the upper hand, the victory, the
the,
times, the
the mind
is for Allah,
and there's a masjid.
Masjid. Go to mumini.
Do not feel weak.
No grief.
Alone, and you are going to have the
upper hand.
When
if you are believers?
Once we become true believers,
Allah defends the believers.
But that's why
the think tank,
they know this,
and they're working around the clock.
Never allow the Muslim to go back to
the deen,
to their Islam,
the true Islam,
the Quran and the Sunnah and the way
of the Sahaba, which they call it.
Tell us, extremists,
that Islam. No. No. No. No. No.
Yeah.
Different versions
of Islam, distorted Islam, not popular.
Islam of dancing,
chanting,
jumping up and down,
eating sweets,
celebrating
the
birthdays of saints and prophets. No problem. That
is not Islam. Let them do it.
Of the true Islam?
No. No. Not.
This Islam?
Nice.
Because this is
the. You intoxicate them. K? This is the
Islam.
And where as many
rosaries you want and,
longest
rosary with many
beads.
Good.
They said lord Croma
in Egypt, he used to attend
this dancing circus, the dikker of the Suez.
It's okay.
But the true Islam, no. No.
Never allow them to go back to it.
And that's what you see.
Just keep your eyes open and read and
understand.
It's a swam who will bring the brotherhood
and the real
unity between the Muslims.
Allah is reminding the onslaught,
right,
that you wear
on the blink,
the edge,
in the blink
of a fiery pit,
pit of fire.
Just
you're in the brink to fall into it,
the fire, this
fiery pit.
Allah
delivered you. Allah rescued you. Allah saved you.
Then Allah said,
This is how Allah makes his
revelations,
his ayaat, his proofs,
clear to you.
That you may be rightly guided.
You might you might rightly
realize
the truth and
come back to your senses
and stick to the Hidaya
and abide
by the dividing guidance
and keep treading on the path
of salvation
and the path of guidance. Keep treading, following
the footsteps
of your prophet,
and those who followed him and his companions.
May Allah
keep us remain
steadfast on this beautiful day.
May Allah save us from going astray.
May Allah guide our and bring us together.
May Allah unite our
and unite our.
May Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah
bless us, bestow on us,
and with the
beneficial knowledge
as righteous deeds.
May Allah reward all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters,
immensely for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, we are going to start
the question and answers time now.
If you have questions, please send them in
fast.
We will just now check through to see
what questions have been received.
Okay. The first question, Sheikh.
Assalamu alaikum. Our respected Sheikh. May Allah bless
you. If a husband
released his wife with 2 talaq,
and he bought back the wife while still
he has one remaining
talaq,
and later he makes
full
renewal,
would it be considered 1 talaq or 3
talaq?
He divorced her once,
and then he divorced her a second time.
And now this is after
divorcing her twice,
he took her back. Right?
Correct.
And now did he divorce after the 3rd
time?
No. Apparently, he renewed the nikka.
Okay. Because here
first of all, I have to make it
clear to you, brothers and sisters. Issues of
halakh
should be taken to the imam in your
area,
to the scholars in your area because they
will ask you for detailed questions.
Here, I'll just give you things in general.
And,
there's, Fatawa
of Sheikh Benbaz Rahim Allah, Fatawa of Balar
there on the net, on his website. You
can download
and read it. I recommend that you read
the Fatawa on Tala. For Sheikh Benbaz, also,
he worked as as well.
Anyway,
the Talaq,
So
Talaq,
twice. And the third one is called Talaq
Bishan where it is irrevocable
irrevocable.
You cannot have your wife back. That's it.
So the first and
the in Islam is not just left to
be
like that. No.
Is resorted to when
a life marital life is impossible. So then
it is better for both husband and wife
too,
end this marital,
marital relationship.
So if a husband,
he cannot cope living with his wives
and
all possible ways of,
making
the reconciliation
failed
and no chance.
Then if he wants to divorce her, he
has to wait. Ben has to wait
until she gets her period.
And when she is clean and she took
a shower, then he can divorce her
so that she can start counting her and
her.
So this is the khalaka according to the,
according to the sunnah,
and and he has to pronounce only one.
You are divorced.
Here, after
the woman hears that he divorced her once,
she is is she is still his wife
in the sense that he has to live
in his home his house.
Well, if he gets her period for 3
consecutive
menstrual cycles, if he doesn't get her period
anymore,
then
the,
3 months.
This is the wisdom behind it that gives
the man a chance gives the man a
chance
to take her back.
So he's next to you, and the ulama,
they say,
he should, take care of her body.
Okay?
Maybe he was angry,
then he divorced her or something like that.
So she should try to seduce him.
K? Taking shower, taking care,
be presentable.
Because if he
sleeps with her, that will be considered that
he took her back.
But if he says tells her, I have
taken you back. That is the way that
he took her back.
Some do say, oh, the shaitan will
will make him to sleep with her. No.
The shaitan will not because shaitan knows if
he sleeps with her, that means he took
her back.
So here,
this should
last for 3
consecutive
menstrual cycles or 3 months.
If he didn't make up his mind to
take her back, 3 months finished,
then she has to leave the house.
And this we call it
He is far away,
from him, but not that far.
But there's still a chance.
Minor distance or minor
gap.
Now after
she left, oh,
he regretted. He said, oh, what did I
do?
So he went back to his headlows and
said, I'm sorry. I want my wife. Here,
while she is in the
waiting period,
he can just take her without her consent.
You're my wife. I've taken you back.
That's it. Finish.
Her consent is not a must here.
It's not a condition.
But now, no,
she said, I'm sorry.
Sorry. I don't want you.
What if she says,
okay. No problem.
We'll give it a try.
K?
So here, there should be new wedlock,
married contract,
and new.
So this is the first
case.
2nd case, he divorced her.
If he wants to divorce her the second
time, the same
procedure.
He divorced her the second time,
and after the period,
the menstrual cycles
elapsed.
She left. He came again, 2nd chance,
if she is still interested.
Maher and the new mani contact.
After this, if he divorced her,
she should not wait one second.
Immediately, she has to leave
the house because
she is not his wife anymore.
So this man in the question, he divorced
his wife twice.
So we tell him, fear Allah.
This is the last chance for you.
And I tell the sister,
fear Allah and don't provoke him
because now you're married on the blink.
Just like that.
You're about to
the whole structure to collapse.
So avoid revoking him and things that makes
him gets angry, etcetera.
And the husband and my advice to the
brothers is not a sign
of manhood
to divorce.
Some, they think, oh, I have a power.
I can't divorce.
It's not a sign of manhood at all.
That's why in the hadith of,
the he
mentioned it. He told, but I'm not like
a. I don't divorce.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Charlotte, it's clear here. We'll go to the
next question.
The next question is, assalamu alaykum Shay. I
know of a sect, and when you discuss
with them about division,
they say that it's an order for us
to divide since the prophet sal salallahu alaihi
wa sallam supplicated that to Allah,
that we should not be divided,
and Allah denied that. So for them, it's
okay to divide and be in groups. How
would you respond to that?
I don't know whether to laugh, to cry.
I don't know.
This shows
what they call,
compound ignorance, not simple ignorance.
Because ignorance, 2 types,
simple
and compound.
Simple ignorance,
It's
easy.
I ask you,
1 plus 1? You say, I don't know.
You said, it is 2.
Thank you.
Morakka compounded, I asked you, 1 plus 1,
you said me 5.
Not
a big problem.
The answer is wrong. That's 1. Second thing,
you don't know that your answer is wrong,
so you don't know that you don't know.
That's why it's called compound.
So now my efforts will be doubled.
1st of all,
I have to convince you
that your answer is wrong.
I'll remove that,
belief from your mind. And second thing, I
have to tell you, 1 +1equal2.
So this one,
the one mentioned in the question, they are
ignorant.
They are ignorant.
And this shows
this is just a specimen. This is an
example of people who cannot differentiate
between the
and.
My dear brothers and sisters,
really,
I don't know.
Are you taking these issues seriously? Are you
true
students serious students of knowledge?
We've mentioned before.
The speech is 2 types.
Insha and Ikhbar.
Insha
and Ikhbar.
The insha,
the dos and the don'ts.
It's called insha
because you are asked to do something, to
achieve something, to do something. Dos and don'ts.
Actions are required.
And then you have the other
part, which is Ikhbar,
informing.
Informing.
The aqidah, the belief forms under the Iqbar.
That's why there is no obligation
in the Iqbar.
The insha do's and don'ts, Sharia law comes
there. That's why there is obligation.
So here now, the prophet
is informing us.
Allah informed him
that this Umma will be divided,
informing.
It's not in shock.
It's not confirming
that it is okay to be divided.
Just informing the fact this is going to
happen. The ummah will be divided.
Yet,
Allah said and commanded,
you have just heard the ayat.
Hold. Hold. Hold. Hold. Do not be divided.
That's what Allah wants.
Well, he just informed his because
Allah knew this is what some will hap
this division will happen among the Muslim.
But Muslims
should not contribute to the division they have
to hold to the robe of Allah.
Do you think Allah tells you hold to
my robe
for nothing? That if you hold to your
robe, you'll not be divided?
So you are saying no benefit
of holding to it because you are going
to be divided.
So why did Allah ask you to hold
the his robe?
This shows your compound ignorance and.
This is just
Iqbal.
It's not inshaah. It's not confirming. It's not
approving
that division is okay.
The prophet
said,
Do not become disbelievers
after I leave you.
You cut the throats of each other.
Does it mean
telling each other Muslims telling each other, it's
okay.
Halal.
According to your
sick understanding
and,
foolish understanding.
And the Sahaba, they killed each other. It
is halal.
Though he
said,
and 2 Muslims
face each other to kill each other. Both
of them, the murder and the murder, murder
and the murder,
the kill and the kill.
This is informing.
When the prophet
said
And before that, he said,
Is this
Is this confirming it is okay? No.
He's just informing us.
Otherwise, according to your understanding, women can walk
naked
because the prophet said that.
So we should not enjoin what is right
and forbid what is
evil because Allah informed us.
Okay. Let's walk in the bikini
because the,
the hadith says that they are naked,
so no need
When
Allah
says,
You are the best nation ever sent and
falls
for mankind.
You're enjoying what to write and you're forbid
what to draw. No need for that, Ayah.
Cancel it
because the prophet said there will be women
naked.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
wake up.
This is our problem, Jahal.
Our Ummah is in this compound, Jahal.
Religious illiteracy.
The prophet
and many a hadith.
No woman should travel without a maharab.
And then he mentioned,
and this is a prophecy
telling Adi ibn Abdul Haqq,
oh, Adi, if you live, you will see
a woman traveling from
to Yemen or
to Makkah.
He is none but Allah.
Does this mean
a woman traveling without a maharam
is permissible?
Is this inshall?
Is this a command?
Do and don't?
No. I'm foaming, Ichmaar,
that this will happen.
Doesn't mean that a woman should travel without
a.
So the Yamah
and the unity of the Ummah is mandatory,
and anyone contributes
to the division of the Ummah
is civil.
And that's why
we are called al sunnah wal jamah.
Sunnah and
jamah.
So the division, and the prophet
said,
So
this group or
this question or this brother,
he's saying the opposite.
Division is Rahmah,
and unity is Adar.
The prophet's saying,
unity is mercy. Division is punishment.
He is saying, no. No. No. No. No.
We will keep dividing because it is Rahmah.
May Allah guide them. I hope this is
clear to all of you, my dear brothers
and sisters.
Sheikh, we go to the next question.
How do we pray on an airplane?
If there is a place
where you can stand,
some airplanes, I think,
airlines,
they make a room towards the end of
the
the airplane.
That's fine. Go there and pay.
If there's no chance
and you cannot stand, then play in your
seat where you are.
Just a lot, but like you are playing
in the ship
on those days in the past.
If, if the the plane is heading in
the direction of, that's well and fine. Otherwise,
you just make the and pray while you
are in,
while you are in your seat in the
in the,
in your seat and on board.
I feel a lot to the best of
your ability.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Because sometimes the journey is so long,
you cannot delay and combine the prayers.
Cannot.
Some journeys
in 18 hours, more than that, very long.
Not short journeys, you can combine while you
are on land. K? You are playing the
whole time.
Flying you're flying,
flight is at Doha time. You can combine
Asad with with Doha.
If your flight is at Magalef time, you
can combine the Isha with the Magalef
time. And then,
go on board.
I hope this is clear to the question.
Yeah. Let's clear share. We'll go to the
next question. The next question,
is it permissible after a woman
enters the state of a ham, can she
change her clothes?
Change her clothes?
She can't, take a shower. She can't remove
her clothes and
because women, they don't have special
clothes like men. They don't.
Normal clothes as long as they are not
attractive and they are loose and decent.
That's it. There's no special
dress for the Hajj for the woman woman.
Men, yes, there were 2 white sheets.
So even the man, k, now,
he put the halal on this, and then
he wants to take a shower.
No problem. Probably should not use,
anything that has scent like shampoo or,
soaps that would have scent and perfume.
I hope this is clear to the question.
So it's clear, sir. Next question. What is
the best approach
to
family who are abusive
and cut ties with you? And the more
you maintain contact,
sending Islamic advice,
forwarded messages,
etcetera, they give you more pain.
They are
cutting the ties, and they are not helping
you to
normalize the relationship.
And you are trying to be kind and
nice to them, and they are doing the
opposite. Right?
Yes. Sure.
Okay.
Carry on.
Being good to them and
endure their
bad character and harsh behavior
for the sake of Allah
And Allah will be on your side, and
Allah will support you. That's what the prophet
said.
Okay. So keep. Don't cut the ties. Don't
shiver the ties.
Okay? Even if they slam the door on
your face
when you go to visit them.
K?
Call them.
Send them
reminders. Send them gifts.
Keep them in your dua all the time,
but never
the tithes. Never.
But the prophet has
said,
So the one who severs and cuts his
his wounds, the ties of wounds,
he will not enter the jungle. So
don't be from among those who,
shivers
the ties of womb. I hope this is
clear to the questioner.
Well, that is clear, Sheikh. We'll go to
the next question.
What does it mean to be a murid
of a Maulana?
Okay.
The murid,
this is a Sufi terminology.
We
read.
Disciple.
That's what they call.
Because according to the Sufi order,
and there are many Sufi orders
many Sufi
orders.
These Sufi orders, there is a
that you have to give him
have to give the
and
to
this,
and you have to listen to whatever he
tells you.
And they tell you if you read in
their books,
That the disciple, the should be
before in front of his chair,
just helpless,
powerless,
no options, no decision,
no
freedom to argue.
Just say yes.
Just you should behave like the corpse, the
dead body,
okay,
when the one is
just in front of the one who's going
to give it the burial wash. So the
one who's giving the burial wash, he is
the body does not resist. He can leave
the body anyway, so it should be like
the dead body, like a log.
And that's why this how they brainwash their
and
their disciples.
So they don't argue. They don't think actually.
Just our Sheikh knows everything. Our Sheikh knows
everything.
And that's why the, Imam Shaba'i said,
And I recommend that you
read the deception of
by.
It's there in English and in Arabic. Read
it. It's talking about the.
So Imam Shamiri says
that
if anyone just
be in the, with the Sufis for 40
days, he will lose his sanity. He will
become crazy.
And
become be crazy.
So
so that is the meaning of murid.
As some now might argue, no. No. No.
No. No. You know, we are not talking
about that,
version of Suvism.
Okay. We are talking about Suvism in the
sense of Taribia,
Tarzukiya. That's what they're saying.
I said, fine.
We have Taskiyah and Taribia and Islam.
The prophet
is the best teacher
for Taskiyah
because that was his job.
So our teach
assigned to him to teach us the Quran
and the Sunnah
and Tasqiyah.
And the Tasqiyah is there in the kit.
This,
this Quran leads to that which is the
most,
upright.
So if the Quran is not sufficient for
you or the sunnah of the prophet
to achieve tazkiyah, then may Allah deprive you
of achieving
as
the Salaf said.
So
if you are saying
this Mawlana
is our teacher,
and he is
following the Quran and sunnah.
And, yes, he is
telling us
to follow the sunnah, and he is teaching
us the kitab and sunnah, and
he reminds us about the importance of the
heart and the
the.
That's what we have no problem with this.
No issue.
But if your sheikh is always doing like
this,
k, kiss
if your sheikh is looking for money, as
you see, go to the YouTube and see
what they are doing,
then he's a.
And if you stay with him, he will
mislead you
and,
and take you to the hellfire.
Our Islam is so clear.
Go to the net and see.
And especially many of the our brothers
reverse.
K? Because the,
brothers and sisters who became Muslims,
they want something
to touch their heart spiritually,
So they find the Sufism.
And, you know, in the church, when you
go to the church on Sunday, what do
you find there? Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Oh, Jesus. I feel you, Jesus.
So you find the same thing in Sufism
Dancing, jumping, so they oh, it's nice.
K? And you find them,
go. I don't want you,
just to take, what I'm saying.
Go ahead. Okay? No. No. You can't verify.
Every disciple is putting his hand on the
back of the other
until they reach the shaykh,
and the shaykh may be holding a stick
and they are holding.
So the barakah is cascaded
from the shirk to to all of them,
and, of course, women and
all that stuff.
So that's not our Islam.
And you find them,
what they call a dikr,
and you see them spinning and dancing. No.
That's not our Islam. That's totally misguidance.
Leave that.
Our
Islam, kitab, and sunnah.
You want the jannah, my dear brothers and
sisters?
Follow the footsteps of your prophet
And remember, I mentioned this many times,
write this, the conditions
of accepting your deeds,
no
hate, no shirk,
then
following star and sunnah, abiding by the kataban
sunnah. Number 3,
following
the
number 2, the sincerity, the clause. Number 3,
abiding and following kataban sunnah. Three conditions.
If there is shirk,
this imal will not be accepted.
There's rida, they're not following the sunnah.
They're following your
sheikh, Mawlana.
Then this amal will not be accepted.
There's no eklaas, no sincerity.
Allah will not accept.
Three conditions
inseparable.
If one of them is missing, then the
total amal will be rejected.
I hope this is clear to the questioner
and to everyone.
And be careful.
Don't follow the Soviets.
Next.
The next question, Sheikh.
When we meet to study Ria Dusali Haynes
sister refuses to join us for salah
because she says woman cannot lead,
shall we advise her to join us or
leave her to pray on her own?
No. Advise her that she
should join the Jammah. Aisha used to lead
the the
the woman
who said that woman cannot pray Jammah.
So this
is,
I mean, needs to be educated.
And the prophet
when he said that a woman should not
step ahead of the of the of the
Jemaah,
she stands in the same law.
These are there are many, many clear
that,
women, they can't trade jama'ah. One of them
can lead them.
So
just,
show her the, and
if she's
following
her own,
leave her alone.
But if she's looking for the truth, she
will join you.
Next.
The next question is,
English divorce
classed as an Islamic divorce as well?
What is English,
divorce?
In the courts of the UK, Sheikh.
So the man say goes there and say,
I divorce my wife.
No, Sheikh.
There is normally a case, one
requesting
divorce from the other, and then the judge
will take
evidence
and many other things in trial will happen,
and then
the judge will I'm fine. Finally.
Finally,
he will be Finally, the the the judge
will rule whether divorce or not?
Though he though he said the man said
I divorced her,
and the judge will say, no. This is
not divorce?
I don't think so.
Because this divorce in Islam is very easy.
When a man says to his wife, you
are divorced,
finish. But maybe this is according to the
for the, to go through the system
just to assure that,
this woman or the the wife will get
her rights. That's it.
Or the custody should go to whom? Who
should have the custody?
But,
the man
tells the judge, I divorced her. I don't
want her.
K?
And he he cannot say you are, you
are still his wife. He cannot,
I mean, from the Islamic perspective.
But maybe this they go through this, procedure
just to ensure the rights.
Rights of the husband, rights of the wife,
and the issues of the the
the custody, etcetera, and children, maybe.
But if a man
who is sane and tells his wife you
are divorced, finish. He's divorced.
Next.
Yeah. Just follow-up on that. In the case
that, the man does not divorce the woman,
and the woman goes to the court
seeking divorce
from the court
and the court system in UK, for example.
In Islam,
if a man doesn't want to divorce his
wife and the wife wants to be divorced,
there's something called.
And the is that she is she pays
him
some financial benefits, money,
and the relationship will be ended.
And the judge of the Qadi, Muslim Qadi,
will just,
end the,
relationship
through the,
The imam or and I think in in
in UK, you have, Sharia courts.
I think so.
I think,
maybe
in that or
So I think there is.
So
you go through that system.
The
is that when
woman can get her freedom and the marital
relationship will be ended.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Charlotte Steshir.
Please share the ruling on recitation
tilawah of Quran during menstruation.
If the woman is not a student or
teacher of Quran?
The the issue if the issue is about
touching the Quran,
that is controversial.
But if it is just she she she
she knows the Quran by heart, then there
is no issue. She can't read
the Quran while she is,
having her period.
Only the ulema differs can she touch the
Quran when she has her period. This is
controversial. And
try to avoid it
unless there is a need, then you put
something, you wear gloves. And no no need
for the for these things. You can read
the Quran on the your iPad or iPhone,
and this solves the problem. And no issue
at all because you you don't need to
have now,
the,
to take a shower or to
to be in state of Sahara.
You can read it on the iPhone or
the,
iPad.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Alright.
It's clear. We'll go to the next question.
If a woman is divorced once and finishes
her iiddah,
then the husband paid her
and took her back.
Does the nunica
encompass
3
or 2?
He divorced her once, and he took her
back. Right?
Yep. Yeah. Now one
is counted.
One is counted. No?
So now there is only 2 2 or
2,
chances
for the
for ending this relationship. If he divorced at
the second time, as I explained,
k, and the,
he took her back, then if he divorced
after the
the second time, then it is
Baynunakupura.
She's far away, and, she cannot be his
wife. And
unless she married another man
without any
agreement,
this is called halal, I think, in the
subcontinent.
They go and agree with the man. Okay.
You marry her tonight, divorce her tomorrow. That
is haram, totally haram.
And, the prophet
said that is just like the borrowing,
billy goat for your goats, for your sheep.
And then it
takes
so that's prohibited in Islam. But if you
say that she married another man, then that
man died or he divorced her normal
divorce,
then
then
then he can,
marry
her. Next question, please.
The next question.
Please, can Sheikh mention the relatives that are
included in the kinship ties,
I. E. Does it include one sister-in-law?
The, the alham are different
grades.
So those who are
the considered to be the first degree are
the the ones who can inherit you.
Okay. Your mother, your father, and your brothers,

Next.
It's, there's somebody wanting to ask question.

Fuck.
So, basically,
we're having competitions on our university,
and our teacher promised that he will give
us 2 marks
just for attending whether we win it or
not. But the problem is there is entry
fees for it.
So I feel like it's like gambling. So
what's the ruling on attending that,
The, the teacher,
is,
conducting,
like, a contest
or competition? Universities.
Yes. The university is conducting competitions,
and the teacher said, if you join that,
he'll give us, 2 marks,
like, guaranteed.
No. It's not gambling. It's,
here, they just want to encourage
the students to participate
to participate. But the question is, what is
the theme? What is the theme of this
competition?
Something beneficial or something harmful?
In child is beneficial. There is
programming
and other things.
Okay. So if it is beneficial
and here, just they want to,
encourage the students to participate.
So this is
a a motive this is a motive for
them, 2 marks, then there's no problem.
There's no harm.
Okay.
Yeah. Is there problem with the interest fees?
Because
my friends were saying.
Sorry?
Is there a problem if there is entry
fees?
Problem with what?
There is a a fees for entering the
competition. We have 500 rupees
to enter.
Deceive?
We have to pay to enter the competition.
There are fees?
Yes.
Peter, of course. In this case,
try to avoid it if there is money.
Okay? Okay. Avoid it. But I thought it
is just they are encouraging the people. But
now it sounds that they want to,
to to have money, to generate,
fund, to generate money. So try to avoid
it.
Sure. That was the final question
May Allah bless you. Bless your family.
