Insha'Allah we'll get started with the lesson.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

Dear respected students, may Allah bless you all

00:00:18 --> 00:00:18

for your attendance.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

Today we are covering the Days of Ignorance.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

Just a quick reminder, please take notes, listen

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

attentively, and send your questions to myself or

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

the co-host throughout the course of the

00:00:31 --> 00:00:31

lesson.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

With that said, I'll hand it back to

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

the Sheikh to start the lesson.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

00:01:28 --> 00:01:36

Muhammadin sallallahu alayhi wa alihi wa sallam ashadu

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

00:01:42 --> 00:01:48

wa kulla bid'atin dhalalah wa kulla dhalalatin

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

fil nar Amma ba'd.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

is our weekly class, the issues of Jahiliyyah,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

by the Imam al-Mujaddid Muhammad al-Abd

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

al-Wahhab rahimahullah wa ta'ala.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:10

And we are discussing the mas'ala number

00:02:10 --> 00:02:10

13.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20

wa hiya min aja'ibi ayati Allah annahum

00:02:20 --> 00:02:27

lamma taraku wasiyyata Allahi bil-ijtima' wa irtakabu

00:02:27 --> 00:02:32

ma naha Allahu anhu min al-iftiraq saara

00:02:32 --> 00:02:44

kullu hizbin bima ladayhim fariheen So

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

this is the mas'ala for today.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

So the author rahimahullah is saying here, it

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

is from the amazing signs of Allah that

00:02:58 --> 00:03:05

when these people, the people of Jahiliyyah, abandoned

00:03:05 --> 00:03:13

the divine guidance, the commands of Allah, and

00:03:13 --> 00:03:22

the specific command of Allah that and calls

00:03:22 --> 00:03:27

them and tells them to be united and

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

to unite and began to commit that which

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

Allah forbade from evil.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

But what happened?

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

The matter became as such, as Allah mentioned,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:52

each group rejoicing in what it has.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

Let us now reflect on this.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

What the author rahimahullah is telling us here,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

he is saying wa hiya min aja'ibi,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

this mas'ala is one of the amazing

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

signs.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

Amazing signs.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

Because the people of Jahiliyyah, by now you

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

should know, what is Jahiliyyah?

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

It is, as explained, it is that mindset.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

That way of thinking.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:28

Where the person feels that he is not

00:04:28 --> 00:04:33

in need to follow the divine guidance, the

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

revelation, what comes from his creator.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

So he acts to the contrary.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

He feels that he can run his life

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

and his affair independently.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

And he is not in need of any

00:04:54 --> 00:04:54

guidance.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

That is the mindset of the people of

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

Jahiliyyah.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

And that is the Jahiliyyah in a nutshell.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:12

So the author here, rahimahullah ta'ala, is

00:05:12 --> 00:05:20

pinpointing and mentioning to us these ignoble qualities

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

of the people of Jahiliyyah.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

Why?

00:05:23 --> 00:05:27

To warn the Muslims that they should not

00:05:27 --> 00:05:31

do the same and tread on the same

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

path as the people of Jahiliyyah.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

So this mas'ala today is one of

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

the amazing ones.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

Because when, as he said, annahum, the people

00:05:48 --> 00:05:52

of Jahiliyyah, lamma taraku wasiyyat Allahi bil-ijtima.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:57

What Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed in

00:05:57 --> 00:06:03

his scriptures, revealed in his books, revealed to

00:06:03 --> 00:06:06

his messengers, telling their followers, what is the

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

message?

00:06:08 --> 00:06:14

The message is to be together, togetherness, to

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

be one hand, to be united.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

That's the message.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

And the unity of the people is possible

00:06:36 --> 00:06:44

if and only if they follow the divine

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

instructions.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

Then it will be very easy to be

00:06:52 --> 00:06:52

united.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

And to put their hands together.

00:07:00 --> 00:07:05

But if everyone is following his own hawa,

00:07:06 --> 00:07:11

his own whims and desires, it's impossible.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

And the result is known by default division.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

Because why should I follow you?

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

You have to follow me.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

Why should I follow you?

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

You have to follow me.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

What makes you unique?

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

I'm like you.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:44

Because everyone now, he is worshipping his little

00:07:44 --> 00:07:48

idol inside him, that ego.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:57

So no one wants to get together, be

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

united, be one hand.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:07

Because they left what can bring them together.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

And that is only the deen of Allah.

00:08:14 --> 00:08:19

The deen of Allah only is able to

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

bring them together.

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

Without that, it's impossible.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:33

For example, for example, the Arabs before Islam,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:40

they were divided, divided into two.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:47

Two tribes, no unity, fighting each other, killing

00:08:47 --> 00:08:48

each other.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

And the two superpowers, the Persians and the

00:08:54 --> 00:09:00

Romans were using that, were exploiting the division

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

of the Arabs, were exploiting it.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:15

So they are protecting, listen to this, and

00:09:15 --> 00:09:20

today and yesterday are alike.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

What they used to do, the same.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

Same technique, same policy.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:32

It's working.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:42

So the two superpowers were defending their own

00:09:42 --> 00:09:49

borders and frontiers, the frontiers of the country,

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

the borders of the country by the Arabs.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

But they are divided among themselves.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

Some of the Arabs today were allies for

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

the Romans, the Romans.

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

And they are known by the name Al

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

-Ghassasina, Al-Ghassasina.

00:10:20 --> 00:10:26

So this tribe of Al-Ghassasina, they were

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

allies for the Romans.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

So they are protecting and they are a

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

human shield between the rest of the Arab

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

tribes and the Romans.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:44

So the emperor of Rome feels he's at

00:10:44 --> 00:10:44

peace.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

The Arabs themselves, they will handle each other.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

They know each other.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

And they are protecting my country.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:06

So this is what the Romans' empire policy

00:11:06 --> 00:11:06

was.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:13

On the other side, the Persians' empire, the

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

same thing, protecting their borders with the Arabs,

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

called Al-Manathira.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

And their head was Al-Mundir bin Ma

00:11:30 --> 00:11:30

'issama.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:41

And now, listen to this, the problem that

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

we don't read history.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

Now, let's say the Romans, they want to

00:11:49 --> 00:11:55

discipline and to punish some of the rebellious

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

tribes in Arabia.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

So they will tell their allies, the Ghassasina,

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

go.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:10

Okay, and keep them under control, under our

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

thumb.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:21

The same thing if the Kisra, the emperor

00:12:21 --> 00:12:25

of Persia, wants to, some tribes are trying

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

to make noise.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:34

He will tell the Al-Manathira, handle this

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

situation, control everything.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

So he's not going to send his own

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

troops.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

So the Persian emperor will not send his

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

own troops to fight.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55

The Arabs themselves, they will fight each other.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

If the Ghassasina, Romans, they want the same

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

thing.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

They will not send their own troops.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

They will send the Ghassasina.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

So let them kill each other.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

Islam came when this situation was there.

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

Arabs killing Arabs.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

Cousins killing cousins.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

Divided among themselves.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:35

Allah chose them because Allah's rahmah and mercy

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

for them.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:41

Allah showered his mercy on them because Allah

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

is seeing that they are victims actually.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

And they are used by the superpowers.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:59

So he chose these nomadic tribes, Sevii tribes.

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

He chose them.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

Chose from among them the Prophet ﷺ.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:13

In the hadith, the Prophet ﷺ said

00:14:13 --> 00:14:18

Allah looked upon the people of the entire

00:14:18 --> 00:14:23

earth and despised all of them except a

00:14:23 --> 00:14:24

handful from the people of the scriptures.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:32

The entire earth was in total darkness, tyranny,

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

injustice, oppression.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:44

So this light as in the Bible and

00:14:44 --> 00:14:47

the light emanated from Paran.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

The mount of Paran, Mecca.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:58

That light emitted to Islam.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

And Allah chose a prophet from among the

00:15:04 --> 00:15:04

Arabs.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

And Islam united the Arabs.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:14

The Arabs will never be united without Islam.

00:15:14 --> 00:15:15

Never.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:21

If we want unity, it is Islam that

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

will unite us.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

Because what made an entity for the Arabs

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

is Islam.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

And they are the catalyst for the deen.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

We have to understand this.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

So the deen is the one that united

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

the Arabs.

00:15:55 --> 00:16:03

And they became the carriers of this beam

00:16:03 --> 00:16:03

of light.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:09

Torches of light illuminating the entire earth.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

Guiding the people.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

It is the deen that unites.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

It is an Islam that unites.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

It's the deen of Allah that unites.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

But when the people follow their own whims

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

and desires, they will be divided.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:32

No doubt.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

And what divides them is not the religion.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:40

No.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

What divides them is the Hawa.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:47

For everyone wants to follow his own way.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

Not the way of the creator of the

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

heavens and the earth.

00:16:55 --> 00:17:00

So this mas'al is very deep and

00:17:00 --> 00:17:00

profound.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

And we need to reflect and ponder upon

00:17:04 --> 00:17:04

it.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:09

So he's saying this mas'al, one of

00:17:09 --> 00:17:10

the amazing signs of Allah.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

That when these people, the people of Galia,

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

abandoned the command of Allah.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:25

Because Allah's command is telling them, get together.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

Be united.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

Follow my revelation.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:42

Follow the messenger of the prophet who came

00:17:42 --> 00:17:42

to you.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:48

So the deen commands us to be together.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:55

وَاتَّكَبُوا مَا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنِ الْإِفْتِرَابِ They

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

acted to the contrary.

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

They did the opposite.

00:18:00 --> 00:18:03

So began to commit that which Allah forbade.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

Not what Allah commanded.

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

What Allah forbade.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:08

What Allah prohibited.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:09

They followed.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:18

Allah told them, stick together.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:19

Be united.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:20

No.

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

We will not be united.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

So they did the opposite.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:34

What happened to them when they became divided?

00:18:35 --> 00:18:43

صَارَ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحِينَ The ayah

00:18:43 --> 00:18:46

فَرِحُونَ because of the grammatical structure.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:54

But here is فَرِحِينَ So each group now,

00:18:55 --> 00:18:55

they are divided.

00:18:56 --> 00:19:00

So everyone is saying, we are the right

00:19:00 --> 00:19:00

one.

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

We are okay.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

We have the truth with us.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:12

The rest of the people are erroneous, mistaken.

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

They want to say, they have to follow

00:19:16 --> 00:19:16

us.

00:19:17 --> 00:19:26

So each group is rejoicing, happy in what

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

they had.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:35

This group, what it has, this division, they

00:19:35 --> 00:19:36

think that is the truth.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

So here the author, rahimahullah, and again, I

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

hope that you are taking notes, my dear

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

brothers and sisters.

00:19:45 --> 00:19:52

So here the author, rahimahullah, is expounding, commenting,

00:19:52 --> 00:19:56

elaborating, explaining on this important issue.

00:19:57 --> 00:20:04

And it is important, no doubt, very important

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

issue.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:13

So here, rahimahullah, he is commenting and focusing

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

and explaining to us.

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

Why?

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

To warn us.

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

Because you see, my dear brothers and sisters,

00:20:22 --> 00:20:32

history is a treasure, repository full

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

of lessons to deduce.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

So we should not read history for entertainment.

00:20:42 --> 00:20:46

That's why they say history repeats itself.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:50

The same events that happened in the past

00:20:50 --> 00:20:54

are reoccurring, rehappening.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

History repeats itself.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:03

So if we don't learn from history and

00:21:03 --> 00:21:08

we keep repeating the same mistakes, that's a

00:21:08 --> 00:21:08

big problem.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

But the wise person is the one who

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

learns from the errors of others.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:23

So that's why the imam, rahimahullah, he compiled

00:21:23 --> 00:21:30

these masa'il, these issues, to tell us

00:21:32 --> 00:21:37

this was the situation of the people of

00:21:37 --> 00:21:37

Jahiliyyah.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:44

And the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, rectified

00:21:44 --> 00:21:51

these situations and guided and provided us with

00:21:51 --> 00:21:59

the solutions, resolutions for these issues, for these

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

problems.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:06

So this, he wants you to know now,

00:22:06 --> 00:22:11

he's giving you the portrait, the picture of

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

Jahiliyyah and what Islam is saying.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

So he is presenting to you what the

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

people of Jahiliyyah were doing and what you

00:22:21 --> 00:22:24

should do and what Islam asks you to

00:22:24 --> 00:22:24

do.

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

And of course, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:22:39 --> 00:22:44

he guides the people, he sends to them

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

the messengers and prophets to guide them.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:54

And if they become rebellious, then they have

00:22:54 --> 00:22:59

to bear the consequences and they will receive

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

Allah's punishment.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:12

Read the history of the perished nations, Aad,

00:23:13 --> 00:23:19

Thamud, Thuraun, the perished ones, what happened to

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

them?

00:23:23 --> 00:23:24

They became rebellious.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27

Guidance came to them.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:28

They know.

00:23:30 --> 00:23:30

We know better.

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

The people of Aad, they say, we are

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

powerful.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:44

No one can defeat us.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:47

What happened?

00:23:48 --> 00:24:00

Allah sent the strong, strong wind blowing, carrying

00:24:00 --> 00:24:03

them up into the air.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:12

Though they were very gigantic, some excavations, they

00:24:12 --> 00:24:16

found their skulls are humongous.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:24

So this wind takes them, carries them high

00:24:24 --> 00:24:26

into the air.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:32

And then they are flipped, turned upside down,

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

falling on their heads.

00:24:35 --> 00:24:35

Finished.

00:24:41 --> 00:24:44

This is what happened to those people of

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

Jahiliyyah when they became rebellious.

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

What happened to the people of Thamud?

00:24:55 --> 00:25:00

Their dwellings are still intact in northern of

00:25:00 --> 00:25:01

Saudi Arabia.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:12

Mada'in Saleh, they killed the she

00:25:12 --> 00:25:18

-camel and Allah warned them.

00:25:19 --> 00:25:20

What happened?

00:25:21 --> 00:25:30

A cry, tremendous voice, sound, finished them.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

Their dwellings remained intact.

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

Their food, their utensils, everything.

00:25:51 --> 00:25:56

The Prophet, when he passed by their dwellings,

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

he passed quickly.

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

And this is the Sunnah.

00:26:05 --> 00:26:08

When you, if you pass by a place

00:26:08 --> 00:26:14

that in which Allah destroyed some nations, don't

00:26:14 --> 00:26:20

remain lingering and wandering there, taking selfies and

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

with your camera.

00:26:23 --> 00:26:29

Pass quickly and run away.

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

The Prophet, when he left Arafat, in the

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

Hajj, and passed by the valley of Muhassar,

00:26:39 --> 00:26:43

in which Allah destroyed the army of the

00:26:43 --> 00:26:47

elephant, he hastened, he moved quickly.

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

So when he passed by the dwellings of

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

Thamud, he did the same thing.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:58

And he told the Sahaba, don't touch anything.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

Don't take the food.

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

Don't take water.

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

Don't even give that food or water to

00:27:07 --> 00:27:08

the animals.

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

Leave everything.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:15

Allah finished them.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

What happened to the Pharaohs?

00:27:19 --> 00:27:24

See, these are lessons.

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

The people of Jahiliyyah, what happened to them?

00:27:27 --> 00:27:36

When they rejected Allah's guidance, Allah

00:27:36 --> 00:27:39

drowned all of them.

00:27:39 --> 00:27:44

The entire army, they were drowned.

00:27:56 --> 00:28:00

He addressed the nation, addressed the Egyptians.

00:28:01 --> 00:28:02

He gathered them.

00:28:02 --> 00:28:05

Said, I am your supreme Lord.

00:28:06 --> 00:28:07

What happened to him?

00:28:09 --> 00:28:09

Was drowned.

00:28:15 --> 00:28:21

And when he was drowning, Yibreel was next

00:28:21 --> 00:28:22

to him.

00:28:23 --> 00:28:29

Yibreel was there, taking mud, taking the mud

00:28:29 --> 00:28:32

from this, the bed of the sea, the

00:28:32 --> 00:28:36

seabed, and stuffing, stuffing the mouth of Pharaoh.

00:28:41 --> 00:28:51

So when you reject Allah's hidayah, then get

00:28:51 --> 00:28:52

ready for Allah's punishment.

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

And Allah punished them.

00:29:02 --> 00:29:08

But the people of Jahiliyyah, instead of following

00:29:10 --> 00:29:22

the guidance, the hidayah from the Creator, these

00:29:22 --> 00:29:30

divine instructions that are good for us, address

00:29:30 --> 00:29:36

our problems, show us the right path, make

00:29:36 --> 00:29:45

us lead an upright conduct, they didn't.

00:29:46 --> 00:29:50

They refused, intentionally, deliberately.

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

So they refused to abide by the divine

00:29:54 --> 00:29:55

guidance.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:04

And, subhanAllah, and they preferred, they preferred division

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

to unity.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:09

This shows the idiocy and stupidity.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:17

You are commanded to be united, to be

00:30:17 --> 00:30:25

strong, and you decided to be divided.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:31

And you, your preference is division to unity.

00:30:33 --> 00:30:39

Because in order to be united, I have

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

to abide by the law.

00:30:43 --> 00:30:47

And the law treats everyone equally.

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

Why there are problems in communities with the

00:30:53 --> 00:30:56

people, those who do not want to follow

00:30:56 --> 00:31:02

the law, those outlaws, they don't want to

00:31:02 --> 00:31:02

follow the law.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

Everyone wants to do whatever he wants.

00:31:06 --> 00:31:08

So that's why you have gangs.

00:31:08 --> 00:31:09

You have criminals.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:16

But if everyone follows the law, crime will

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

reduce.

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

Harmony will be there in the community.

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

Unity will be there.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

But because they prefer division, because everyone wants

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

to follow his own hawa, his own whims,

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

his own desires.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:44

And this is amazing.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:46

They were happy with this.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

They're happy.

00:31:47 --> 00:31:54

They were rejoicing in their division.

00:31:54 --> 00:31:56

They loved this division.

00:31:58 --> 00:32:01

And this reflects and tells you that they

00:32:01 --> 00:32:02

were idiots, stupid.

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, alhamdulillah.

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

Say alhamdulillah, brothers and sisters.

00:32:12 --> 00:32:17

Say alhamdulillah for this beautiful Deen al-Islam

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

that is keeping us.

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

This Islam is keeping us together.

00:32:25 --> 00:32:29

Though there are fragmentations among us, but still

00:32:29 --> 00:32:32

we feel for each other.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:38

And we have to come closer more and

00:32:38 --> 00:32:41

more and stick to this Deen.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:49

Then and only then we will be helped

00:32:49 --> 00:32:54

by the most powerful, al-Qawiyy, al-Mateen,

00:32:54 --> 00:32:55

al-Aziz.

00:32:55 --> 00:33:03

We have to hold to the rope of

00:33:03 --> 00:33:03

Allah.

00:33:07 --> 00:33:10

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala here tells

00:33:10 --> 00:33:13

us about the people of Jahiliyyah in Surah

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

al-Mu'minoon, ayat 35.

00:33:33 --> 00:33:38

Yet the people have divided it into different

00:33:38 --> 00:33:38

sects.

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

Each rejoicing in what they have.

00:33:46 --> 00:33:51

So their affair, their amr, their situation now

00:33:51 --> 00:33:58

is divided into groups, sects.

00:34:01 --> 00:34:09

And each sect is happy and rejoicing in

00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

what they have.

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

So they're saying we are the only ones

00:34:20 --> 00:34:21

right.

00:34:21 --> 00:34:24

The rest, they are not.

00:34:26 --> 00:34:28

So Allah is telling us this what happened

00:34:28 --> 00:34:28

to them.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:34

And this is the evil, evil fruit of

00:34:34 --> 00:34:34

division.

00:34:41 --> 00:34:42

This is the fruit that you're going to

00:34:42 --> 00:34:43

reap.

00:34:47 --> 00:34:56

You will be weakened, you'll be punished and

00:34:56 --> 00:34:58

you will be leading miserable life.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

You'll be living in misery.

00:35:04 --> 00:35:06

No doubts at all.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

You leave the light, you will be in

00:35:11 --> 00:35:11

the darkness.

00:35:13 --> 00:35:14

You'll be in the dark.

00:35:19 --> 00:35:24

The light is the hidayah that came down.

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

Because what comes from heaven is light.

00:35:41 --> 00:35:47

Allah is the light for those in heavens,

00:35:48 --> 00:35:49

for those on earth.

00:35:51 --> 00:35:54

Not that Allah is light as many huh

00:35:54 --> 00:35:59

think or understand.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:05

Allah is not light, but his guidance is

00:36:05 --> 00:36:06

light.

00:36:06 --> 00:36:08

Not he, he is right.

00:36:09 --> 00:36:11

No, his guidance is light.

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

That if you read the books of Tafsir,

00:36:14 --> 00:36:23

Allah guides those who are in heavens.

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

Those who are on earth.

00:36:26 --> 00:36:27

He's the one who gives them the light

00:36:27 --> 00:36:28

and the guidance.

00:36:31 --> 00:36:34

Not that Allah, huh, is light.

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

And it is wrong to believe that An

00:36:39 --> 00:36:41

-Nur is one of the names of Allah.

00:36:41 --> 00:36:42

An-Nur, the light.

00:36:43 --> 00:36:44

And you find some Muslims, they call their

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

children Abdul-Nur.

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

No, An-Nur is not a light name

00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

of Allah.

00:36:50 --> 00:36:52

An-Nur is not one of the names

00:36:52 --> 00:36:52

of Allah.

00:36:56 --> 00:36:59

And Allah is not Nur, light.

00:37:02 --> 00:37:05

The Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he

00:37:05 --> 00:37:08

was asked, did you see about the night

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

of the Qadr, Ascension?

00:37:11 --> 00:37:13

The night of the Mi'raj, the night

00:37:13 --> 00:37:13

of Qadr.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

Sorry, the night of the Ascension, the Mi

00:37:16 --> 00:37:17

'raj.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

Did you see Allah?

00:37:22 --> 00:37:27

He said, Listen to this.

00:37:35 --> 00:37:38

He said, I saw light.

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

What I saw, I didn't see Allah.

00:37:44 --> 00:37:48

That's why our mother Aisha said, whoever tells

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

you Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, saw Allah,

00:37:51 --> 00:37:52

he's lying.

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

He's lying.

00:37:56 --> 00:37:59

Because he asked the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa

00:37:59 --> 00:38:06

sallam, he said, Allah drew him close to

00:38:06 --> 00:38:07

him.

00:38:08 --> 00:38:11

And he saw veils of lights.

00:38:12 --> 00:38:14

And Allah spoke to him and talked to

00:38:14 --> 00:38:14

him.

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

But he didn't see Allah.

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

And the one that he saw at near

00:38:21 --> 00:38:24

Sijrat al-Muntaha, that was not Allah.

00:38:24 --> 00:38:26

That was Jibreel, alayhi salam.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:31

So Allah is not light.

00:38:32 --> 00:38:38

He said, There were screens there.

00:38:38 --> 00:38:41

The veils are light, not Allah himself.

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

It's light.

00:38:45 --> 00:38:50

Allah guides the angels, the inhabitants of heavens.

00:38:52 --> 00:38:53

And the guidance is the light.

00:38:57 --> 00:39:01

And the people on earth, the guidance that

00:39:01 --> 00:39:04

he sent down, the revelation, that is the

00:39:04 --> 00:39:05

light.

00:39:06 --> 00:39:10

But if you don't follow this light, follow

00:39:10 --> 00:39:12

your whims and desires, you will be in

00:39:12 --> 00:39:13

total darkness.

00:39:13 --> 00:39:17

This is what humanity is in today.

00:39:20 --> 00:39:22

They are in this total darkness.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

And the way out is al-Islam.

00:39:29 --> 00:39:30

No other way.

00:39:31 --> 00:39:33

Al-Islam, coming back to Allah.

00:39:39 --> 00:39:40

There's no other way.

00:39:47 --> 00:39:48

You want salvation?

00:39:48 --> 00:39:49

Al-Islam.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:06

Anyone seeks other than al-Islam as a

00:40:06 --> 00:40:13

way of life, way of salvation, other than

00:40:13 --> 00:40:17

al-Islam, other than submitting willingly to the

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

will of the creator of the heavens and

00:40:19 --> 00:40:24

the earth, and abide by his revelation, will

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

not be accepted from him.

00:40:29 --> 00:40:32

He or she, and the after, he will

00:40:32 --> 00:40:34

be among the losers.

00:40:36 --> 00:40:37

That's what Allah said.

00:41:02 --> 00:41:08

You become rebellious.

00:41:09 --> 00:41:12

I know better how to run my life.

00:41:16 --> 00:41:21

I seek guidance in democracy, in capitalism, in

00:41:21 --> 00:41:23

communism, in ism, ism.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:31

Then, take your medicine.

00:41:35 --> 00:41:36

You will cry.

00:41:36 --> 00:41:37

You will break your head.

00:41:43 --> 00:41:53

Whoever turns away, he gets my way,

00:41:53 --> 00:41:57

my dhikr, my remembrance.

00:42:00 --> 00:42:01

Turns away.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

He's indifferent to it.

00:42:07 --> 00:42:08

What will happen to him?

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

Emphasis.

00:42:18 --> 00:42:21

Surely, most certainly.

00:42:35 --> 00:42:39

Narrow, constricted, livelihood.

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

Miserable.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:50

He's suffocating.

00:42:51 --> 00:42:51

He can't breathe.

00:42:57 --> 00:42:58

Bunker.

00:43:02 --> 00:43:07

And we will raise him in the day

00:43:07 --> 00:43:08

of resurrection.

00:43:09 --> 00:43:15

We'll gather him when he comes from his

00:43:15 --> 00:43:17

grave blind.

00:43:19 --> 00:43:20

Imagine this scene.

00:43:21 --> 00:43:25

The graves open and that's what will happen.

00:43:26 --> 00:43:34

And all humanity, all human beings, simultaneously, they

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

come from the graves.

00:43:37 --> 00:43:38

Imagine this.

00:43:40 --> 00:43:40

Naked.

00:43:43 --> 00:43:44

Frightened.

00:43:47 --> 00:43:48

They don't know where to go.

00:43:52 --> 00:43:56

And out from your grave, blind.

00:44:02 --> 00:44:09

See, you are blind.

00:44:09 --> 00:44:12

You hear only screams of the people.

00:44:12 --> 00:44:16

And you don't know what to do.

00:44:18 --> 00:44:20

Allah Rabbi, my Lord.

00:44:21 --> 00:44:26

Why did you gather me?

00:44:27 --> 00:44:32

Why did you resurrect me blind when I

00:44:32 --> 00:44:36

was not blind in the world, in the

00:44:36 --> 00:44:36

dunya?

00:44:39 --> 00:44:40

The answer from Allah.

00:44:42 --> 00:44:44

Such are my signs came to you.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

My ayat came to you.

00:44:51 --> 00:44:52

So you ignored.

00:44:54 --> 00:44:56

Because here I want you to understand.

00:44:58 --> 00:44:59

Nasee'a.

00:44:59 --> 00:45:01

Nasee'a has two meanings.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:03

Listen to this and take notes.

00:45:04 --> 00:45:07

Nasee'a not means always forget.

00:45:08 --> 00:45:10

It means to forget, one meaning.

00:45:11 --> 00:45:13

The other meaning is to neglect.

00:45:21 --> 00:45:25

Nasee'allaha fa ansahum anfusahum.

00:45:26 --> 00:45:28

They forgot about Allah.

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

They neglected Allah's teachings.

00:45:31 --> 00:45:33

Allah made them to forget their own self.

00:45:38 --> 00:45:42

So when Allah's saying, today we will forget

00:45:42 --> 00:45:42

you.

00:45:44 --> 00:45:45

What does it mean?

00:45:45 --> 00:45:46

Allah forgets?

00:45:46 --> 00:45:48

No, we will ignore you.

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

We will humiliate you.

00:45:57 --> 00:46:01

So Allah is telling here and answering that

00:46:01 --> 00:46:01

question.

00:46:02 --> 00:46:07

When you, when he asked, why am I

00:46:07 --> 00:46:07

blind?

00:46:07 --> 00:46:10

He said, my ayat came to you.

00:46:11 --> 00:46:13

What does it mean?

00:46:13 --> 00:46:17

You neglected my ayat.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

You forgot them.

00:46:20 --> 00:46:21

You treated them lightly.

00:46:22 --> 00:46:24

You paid no attention.

00:46:26 --> 00:46:31

And today you will be neglected, ignored.

00:46:40 --> 00:46:45

So my dear brothers and sisters, it's only

00:46:45 --> 00:46:49

the Deen that will unite.

00:46:51 --> 00:46:54

Al-Islam is the only way of salvation.

00:47:03 --> 00:47:04

Only way.

00:47:06 --> 00:47:12

You turn away from the Deen, from what

00:47:12 --> 00:47:19

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent, then the

00:47:21 --> 00:47:23

result is known.

00:47:24 --> 00:47:27

And the destination is known.

00:47:30 --> 00:47:35

Jahannam, the hellfire.

00:47:39 --> 00:47:47

The Malaika, they will pose questions to the

00:47:47 --> 00:47:51

new inmates of the hellfire.

00:47:53 --> 00:47:58

Because the hellfire gatekeepers, the angels, and of

00:47:58 --> 00:47:59

course their head is Malik.

00:48:03 --> 00:48:10

So they are receiving group after group, batches.

00:48:17 --> 00:48:22

Now this group is coming to be cast

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

and to be thrown into Jahannam.

00:48:25 --> 00:48:27

And Jahannam is swallowing.

00:48:36 --> 00:48:38

The day you will ask Jahannam, are you

00:48:38 --> 00:48:39

full?

00:48:40 --> 00:48:42

You know, I want more.

00:48:50 --> 00:48:55

Group after group, batch after batch.

00:48:59 --> 00:49:06

And Jahannam is burning, consuming them, eating them.

00:49:12 --> 00:49:16

And whenever their skins are burnt, new skins

00:49:16 --> 00:49:18

are made for them.

00:49:28 --> 00:49:31

It's not one go, you will be burnt

00:49:31 --> 00:49:32

and that's it.

00:49:32 --> 00:49:32

No.

00:49:35 --> 00:49:38

Continuous suffering, pain and punishment.

00:49:39 --> 00:49:44

The skin is burnt because all the senses

00:49:44 --> 00:49:47

are under the skin.

00:49:48 --> 00:49:51

So when the senses are burnt, you don't

00:49:51 --> 00:49:51

feel.

00:49:52 --> 00:49:54

So new skin will be given to you

00:49:54 --> 00:49:55

with the new senses to feel.

00:49:59 --> 00:50:01

So here the angels, they rebuke them.

00:50:03 --> 00:50:09

They ask them sarcastically to seek confirmation.

00:50:15 --> 00:50:18

The angels, they ask them.

00:50:22 --> 00:50:26

No warner came to you, no prophet came

00:50:26 --> 00:50:28

to you, no messenger came to you.

00:50:30 --> 00:50:34

They confess, it's too late.

00:50:34 --> 00:50:41

They said, we received warners, messengers, but we

00:50:41 --> 00:50:44

belied them, we rejected them.

00:50:46 --> 00:50:50

Alas, the regret will not help.

00:50:50 --> 00:50:52

Too late, too late.

00:50:54 --> 00:51:06

We were stupid if we

00:51:06 --> 00:51:14

were huh, intelligent enough, hearing, using our faculties

00:51:14 --> 00:51:21

properly, we rationalize and we heed and pay

00:51:21 --> 00:51:28

attention to the message delivered to us, we

00:51:28 --> 00:51:32

would not be here among the inmates in

00:51:32 --> 00:51:33

this blazing fire.

00:51:36 --> 00:51:38

Say that blazing fire.

00:51:45 --> 00:51:50

So, Jahiliyyah leads to destruction.

00:51:53 --> 00:51:57

You follow your whims and desires and you

00:51:57 --> 00:52:01

reject the teachings of your creator.

00:52:02 --> 00:52:05

Then blame no one but yourself.

00:52:06 --> 00:52:12

Now, this what the people of Jahiliyyah were

00:52:12 --> 00:52:12

upon.

00:52:16 --> 00:52:20

What is the moral lesson for us Muslims?

00:52:21 --> 00:52:29

That's what the author's intention and aim is

00:52:29 --> 00:52:31

to warn us so that we will not

00:52:31 --> 00:52:35

follow the footsteps of the mushriks.

00:52:37 --> 00:52:40

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, out of

00:52:40 --> 00:52:44

his mercy and love for us, he warned

00:52:44 --> 00:52:44

us.

00:52:45 --> 00:52:48

And he mentioned the stories of those who

00:52:48 --> 00:52:52

became rebellious, those who disobeyed him.

00:52:53 --> 00:52:55

So, Allah has warned us.

00:52:55 --> 00:52:57

So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in

00:52:57 --> 00:53:04

Surah Ar-Rum, ayah 31 to 32, talking

00:53:04 --> 00:53:07

to us, addressing us Muslims, addressing me, you

00:53:07 --> 00:53:08

and everyone.

00:53:10 --> 00:53:35

Allah says, Did

00:53:40 --> 00:53:50

Allah reveal this for no reason?

00:53:51 --> 00:53:51

No.

00:53:51 --> 00:53:58

Allah is telling us, and do not be

00:53:58 --> 00:54:03

mushrik, do not be polytheist.

00:54:04 --> 00:54:06

Don't be like them.

00:54:11 --> 00:54:14

Because the mushriks are destined to *.

00:54:15 --> 00:54:17

And they will remain in the hellfire forever,

00:54:18 --> 00:54:19

for eternity.

00:54:20 --> 00:54:21

So, don't be like them.

00:54:23 --> 00:54:25

Don't follow their footsteps.

00:54:26 --> 00:54:27

Don't emulate them.

00:54:29 --> 00:54:31

Don't take them as your role model.

00:54:36 --> 00:54:38

Don't expect them to guide you.

00:54:38 --> 00:54:40

They are lost themselves.

00:54:54 --> 00:55:01

So, don't be like those who have divided

00:55:01 --> 00:55:08

their faith, their deen, and split into sects.

00:55:08 --> 00:55:08

Groups.

00:55:10 --> 00:55:10

Shia.

00:55:13 --> 00:55:15

Plural of Shia.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:16

Different groups.

00:55:25 --> 00:55:30

Each group set rejoicing in what they have.

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

So, don't be like them, you Muslims.

00:55:33 --> 00:55:34

Don't be like them.

00:55:39 --> 00:55:45

In his tafsir, volume number 18, page 30,

00:55:45 --> 00:55:49

he said, Listen to this.

00:56:06 --> 00:56:17

The meaning, he said, each

00:56:17 --> 00:56:26

sect, team, from among the divided nations, the

00:56:26 --> 00:56:29

nations, the people who were divided.

00:56:32 --> 00:56:33

Chose for themselves.

00:56:34 --> 00:56:35

They have chosen.

00:56:36 --> 00:56:37

They have chosen for themselves.

00:56:38 --> 00:56:41

Chose for themselves what suits their whims and

00:56:41 --> 00:56:42

desires.

00:56:46 --> 00:56:48

From the religious teachings.

00:56:48 --> 00:56:50

So, they came to the deen.

00:56:50 --> 00:56:51

They have a similar deen.

00:56:52 --> 00:56:52

This is the deen.

00:56:52 --> 00:56:53

This is the religion.

00:56:54 --> 00:56:56

You have to take it as a package.

00:56:57 --> 00:56:57

All.

00:56:58 --> 00:56:59

No, no.

00:56:59 --> 00:57:00

We take this.

00:57:00 --> 00:57:01

It is nice.

00:57:01 --> 00:57:02

We take that.

00:57:02 --> 00:57:03

It is nice.

00:57:03 --> 00:57:03

That one.

00:57:03 --> 00:57:04

No, no, no.

00:57:04 --> 00:57:05

We will not accept it.

00:57:06 --> 00:57:07

So, they were picking and choosing.

00:57:10 --> 00:57:14

So, chose for themselves what suits their whims

00:57:14 --> 00:57:15

and desires.

00:57:15 --> 00:57:18

From the religious teachings, what the deen is

00:57:18 --> 00:57:19

teaching them.

00:57:20 --> 00:57:22

And what the kutub, the holy scriptures are

00:57:22 --> 00:57:23

telling them.

00:57:24 --> 00:57:26

So, they were picking and choosing.

00:57:30 --> 00:57:33

Rejoicing at their cherry picking.

00:57:34 --> 00:57:36

Yeah, they were doing cherry picking.

00:57:38 --> 00:57:41

Rejoicing at their cherry picking.

00:57:49 --> 00:57:50

Boasting.

00:57:50 --> 00:57:54

They are boasting that the entire truth lies

00:57:54 --> 00:57:55

within what they chose.

00:57:56 --> 00:57:57

And nowhere else.

00:57:59 --> 00:58:00

What they picked.

00:58:02 --> 00:58:03

And they said, this is what we will

00:58:03 --> 00:58:04

follow and accept.

00:58:05 --> 00:58:06

So, the entire.

00:58:06 --> 00:58:07

Imagine now.

00:58:07 --> 00:58:09

You came to this religion.

00:58:09 --> 00:58:12

And you took only a fragment, a portion

00:58:12 --> 00:58:13

of it.

00:58:16 --> 00:58:18

And now you are trying to convince yourself.

00:58:20 --> 00:58:23

What you have chosen is the part from

00:58:23 --> 00:58:24

the whole.

00:58:24 --> 00:58:26

The part from the whole.

00:58:27 --> 00:58:30

And now you are saying the whole is

00:58:30 --> 00:58:31

in the part.

00:58:33 --> 00:58:36

How come?

00:58:38 --> 00:58:41

What you have taken from the deen, the

00:58:41 --> 00:58:43

religion, is a portion.

00:58:46 --> 00:58:48

And the truth is in the entire deen.

00:58:49 --> 00:58:51

And now you are saying the entire deen

00:58:51 --> 00:58:54

is in this portion that you have chosen.

00:58:56 --> 00:58:58

Doesn't make sense at all.

00:59:00 --> 00:59:03

But this, what happens when you follow your

00:59:03 --> 00:59:04

whims and desires?

00:59:06 --> 00:59:08

You become blind and you don't see.

00:59:08 --> 00:59:11

And you try to convince yourself with this

00:59:11 --> 00:59:11

nonsense.

00:59:12 --> 00:59:15

And then you start believing this nonsense.

00:59:17 --> 00:59:21

This is what Ibn Jarir said in his

00:59:21 --> 00:59:24

tafsir, volume number 18, page 30.

00:59:27 --> 00:59:29

So, every sect, my dear brothers and sisters,

00:59:33 --> 00:59:34

they claim.

00:59:35 --> 00:59:39

So, every sect claims that what they are

00:59:39 --> 00:59:40

upon is the truth.

00:59:41 --> 00:59:44

And what others are upon is total, total

00:59:44 --> 00:59:46

and misguidance.

00:59:50 --> 00:59:53

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned to

00:59:53 --> 00:59:59

us what they were telling each other, these

00:59:59 --> 00:59:59

sects.

01:00:00 --> 01:00:03

In surah al-Baqarah, ayah number 13, Allah

01:00:03 --> 01:00:37

said, Allah

01:00:37 --> 01:00:43

said, the Jews say, the Jews say regarding

01:00:43 --> 01:00:43

the Christians.

01:00:44 --> 01:00:48

The Jews say the Christians have nothing to

01:00:48 --> 01:00:49

stand on.

01:00:49 --> 01:00:51

They have nothing to stand on.

01:00:54 --> 01:00:56

The Christians are lost.

01:00:57 --> 01:00:59

The Jews say the Christians have nothing to

01:00:59 --> 01:01:00

stand on.

01:01:01 --> 01:01:05

And the Christians say the Jews have nothing

01:01:05 --> 01:01:07

to stand on.

01:01:09 --> 01:01:14

Although both recite the scriptures.

01:01:19 --> 01:01:21

Both recite the scriptures.

01:01:22 --> 01:01:24

The same book, the Holy Bible.

01:01:25 --> 01:01:29

And yet, the Jews, they say the Old

01:01:29 --> 01:01:30

Testament is ours.

01:01:30 --> 01:01:33

Christians say the New Testament is ours.

01:01:34 --> 01:01:37

And you, Jews are saying to the Christians,

01:01:37 --> 01:01:38

you have nothing to stand on.

01:01:39 --> 01:01:41

The Christians are telling the Jews you have

01:01:41 --> 01:01:42

nothing to stand on.

01:01:42 --> 01:01:44

Although both recite the scriptures.

01:01:47 --> 01:01:51

Then the fools came, the pagans.

01:01:52 --> 01:01:59

And those pagans, okay, idolaters, idol worshippers.

01:01:59 --> 01:02:04

And those pagans who have no knowledge say

01:02:04 --> 01:02:05

the same about the people of faith.

01:02:08 --> 01:02:11

So now the pagans, they are using the

01:02:11 --> 01:02:11

same token.

01:02:12 --> 01:02:17

So they are telling the believers, okay, you

01:02:17 --> 01:02:20

have nothing to stand on.

01:02:21 --> 01:02:23

As if they have something to stand on.

01:02:24 --> 01:02:28

And those pagans who have no knowledge say

01:02:28 --> 01:02:31

the same about the people of faith.

01:02:31 --> 01:02:37

Then Allah said, surely Allah will judge between

01:02:37 --> 01:02:40

them on the day of judgment regarding their

01:02:40 --> 01:02:41

dispute.

01:02:44 --> 01:02:47

Also Allah said in Surah Ghafir, Ayah 83,

01:02:50 --> 01:02:53

to see that they were following their whims

01:02:53 --> 01:02:54

and desires.

01:03:09 --> 01:03:14

When their messengers came to them with clear

01:03:14 --> 01:03:15

proofs.

01:03:16 --> 01:03:21

They were prideful in whatever worldly knowledge they

01:03:21 --> 01:03:21

had.

01:03:21 --> 01:03:24

The learned men among them, when the prophets

01:03:24 --> 01:03:27

came to them, they became arrogant.

01:03:27 --> 01:03:32

And they were prideful in whatever worldly knowledge

01:03:32 --> 01:03:33

they had.

01:03:34 --> 01:03:38

And were ultimately overwhelmed by what they used

01:03:38 --> 01:03:39

to ridicule.

01:03:39 --> 01:03:43

And they started ridiculing the prophets, Allah's prophets

01:03:43 --> 01:03:44

and messengers.

01:03:50 --> 01:03:53

This is what will happen to them on

01:03:53 --> 01:03:54

the day of resurrection.

01:03:54 --> 01:03:57

The evil of what they used to ridicule,

01:03:59 --> 01:04:00

ridiculing the messengers.

01:04:00 --> 01:04:09

That the evil of such a responsible attitude

01:04:09 --> 01:04:14

that will encircle them, encompass them, overwhelm them

01:04:14 --> 01:04:16

on that day and they will be doomed.

01:04:22 --> 01:04:30

Finally, we Muslims should follow the advice from

01:04:30 --> 01:04:33

Allah, the guidance from Allah.

01:04:34 --> 01:04:37

As he tells us in Surah Ali Imran,

01:04:37 --> 01:04:38

Ayah 103.

01:05:05 --> 01:05:10

Subhanallah, beautiful ayah, full of rahmah.

01:05:12 --> 01:05:18

Allah says, and hold, hold you believers, you

01:05:18 --> 01:05:21

Muslims, you Ummah of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

01:05:22 --> 01:05:28

And hold firmly together to the robe of

01:05:28 --> 01:05:28

Allah.

01:05:30 --> 01:05:34

Do not be divided, do not, Allah is

01:05:34 --> 01:05:36

saying, do not be divided.

01:05:37 --> 01:05:39

I don't want you to be divided.

01:05:43 --> 01:05:49

So my dear brothers and sisters, everyone from

01:05:49 --> 01:05:56

this moment should tell himself, I will never

01:05:56 --> 01:06:05

contribute to the division of my Ummah anymore.

01:06:05 --> 01:06:14

I will try my level best to contribute

01:06:14 --> 01:06:20

to the unity of the Ummah and not

01:06:20 --> 01:06:21

the division of the Ummah.

01:06:26 --> 01:06:28

Yes, I remember the hadith of the Prophet

01:06:28 --> 01:06:29

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

01:06:31 --> 01:06:39

Inna minan nasi nasu, mafateehun lilkhayr, maghaliqun lilshad.

01:06:39 --> 01:06:45

Inna minan nasi nasu, maghaliqun lilkhayr, mafateehun lilshad.

01:06:47 --> 01:06:48

Beautiful hadith.

01:06:49 --> 01:06:52

Said from a mankind, there are people who

01:06:52 --> 01:06:56

are keys for the good only, for the

01:06:56 --> 01:06:57

good.

01:06:57 --> 01:06:59

They are the keys, they unlock the doors

01:06:59 --> 01:07:00

of khayr.

01:07:02 --> 01:07:06

Maghaliqun lilshad, they unlock the doors of evil.

01:07:09 --> 01:07:14

And there are people who are unlocking the

01:07:14 --> 01:07:15

doors of good.

01:07:17 --> 01:07:20

And there are keys for the doors of

01:07:20 --> 01:07:20

evil.

01:07:26 --> 01:07:31

Batuba, the Jannah for those that Allah made

01:07:31 --> 01:07:34

them keys to open the doors of khayr

01:07:34 --> 01:07:37

and to unlock the doors of evil.

01:07:39 --> 01:07:42

Be from among those who are keys for

01:07:42 --> 01:07:43

the doors of khayr.

01:07:45 --> 01:07:51

And say only khayr, man kana yu'minu billahi

01:07:51 --> 01:07:55

wal yawm al-akhir, fal yakul khayran.

01:07:55 --> 01:08:01

Oh yes, whoever believes in Allah on the

01:08:01 --> 01:08:04

last day should say something good or keep

01:08:04 --> 01:08:04

quiet.

01:08:05 --> 01:08:09

So take this, make this commitment right now

01:08:12 --> 01:08:16

and hold firmly together to the robe of

01:08:16 --> 01:08:18

Allah and do not be divided.

01:08:21 --> 01:08:26

Remember Allah's favour, favour upon you when you

01:08:26 --> 01:08:30

were enemies, then he united your hearts.

01:08:31 --> 01:08:36

So you by his grace became brothers and

01:08:36 --> 01:08:38

you were at the brink, the brink of

01:08:38 --> 01:08:42

a fiery pit and he saved you from

01:08:42 --> 01:08:42

it.

01:08:43 --> 01:08:46

This is how Allah makes his revelations clear

01:08:46 --> 01:08:50

to you so that you may be rightly

01:08:50 --> 01:08:51

guided.

01:08:52 --> 01:08:55

If you open the books of the Tafsir,

01:08:55 --> 01:08:58

they will tell you this came down regarding

01:08:59 --> 01:09:03

the Aus and the Khazraj, the Ansar.

01:09:04 --> 01:09:07

They were on this brink of the fiery

01:09:07 --> 01:09:13

pit before Islam and Islam brought their hearts

01:09:13 --> 01:09:14

together.

01:09:15 --> 01:09:18

So Allah is reminding them about this blessing

01:09:18 --> 01:09:20

he bestowed on them.

01:09:25 --> 01:09:27

So my dear brothers and sisters, let us

01:09:27 --> 01:09:30

hold to this robe.

01:09:32 --> 01:09:36

Also Allah said in Surat Al-Anfal, Ayah

01:09:36 --> 01:09:40

46 Obey

01:09:40 --> 01:09:54

Allah

01:09:57 --> 01:10:01

and his Messenger and do not dispute with

01:10:01 --> 01:10:06

one another or you would be discouraged and

01:10:06 --> 01:10:06

weakened.

01:10:10 --> 01:10:14

Persevere, surely Allah is with those who persevere.

01:10:15 --> 01:10:18

Let us ponder here in this beautiful ayah.

01:10:19 --> 01:10:25

Allah is commanding me and you to obey

01:10:25 --> 01:10:28

Allah, to obey the Messenger, to follow the

01:10:28 --> 01:10:29

Quran, to follow the Sunnah.

01:10:30 --> 01:10:40

Then do not dispute with one another because

01:10:40 --> 01:10:44

when you are disputing, what will happen?

01:10:44 --> 01:10:46

You will fail.

01:10:53 --> 01:10:56

You will be discouraged.

01:11:01 --> 01:11:04

Your wind will leave you, wind here means

01:11:04 --> 01:11:08

your strength, your power, will leave you because

01:11:08 --> 01:11:12

of your division, your fighting, your dispute.

01:11:15 --> 01:11:25

You will be weakened and when you

01:11:25 --> 01:11:32

have any difference, listen to what Allah is

01:11:32 --> 01:11:36

saying, if you differ on any matter, on

01:11:36 --> 01:11:42

any matter, take it back to the Kitab

01:11:42 --> 01:11:43

Al-Sunnah.

01:11:44 --> 01:11:48

If you truly believe in Allah in the

01:11:48 --> 01:11:54

last day, that's the best thing for you

01:11:54 --> 01:11:59

and the best and the ultimate ta'weel

01:11:59 --> 01:12:01

and solution for you.

01:12:01 --> 01:12:07

وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا۟ فَتَفْشِرُوا۟ تَثْحَبْ حَرِيحُكُمْ So do not

01:12:07 --> 01:12:13

dispute, otherwise you will lose your strength and

01:12:13 --> 01:12:13

you'll be weakened.

01:12:14 --> 01:12:17

And be patient.

01:12:20 --> 01:12:23

Allah, my dear brothers and sisters, He asked

01:12:23 --> 01:12:26

us, the Muslims, required two things from every

01:12:26 --> 01:12:26

Muslim.

01:12:27 --> 01:12:34

وَإِن تَصْبِرُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئًۭا Two

01:12:34 --> 01:12:42

things, if you are patient, تَصْبِرُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ unrighteous,

01:12:42 --> 01:12:43

pious.

01:12:43 --> 01:12:48

So Allah asked for two things, patience, perseverance

01:12:48 --> 01:12:49

and piety.

01:12:54 --> 01:13:00

لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئًۭا They're conspiracy, they're plotting,

01:13:02 --> 01:13:08

they're planning will not harm you the least

01:13:11 --> 01:13:16

because I am your protector and I am

01:13:16 --> 01:13:17

your defender.

01:13:22 --> 01:13:27

وَصْبِرُوا۟ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَا صَبِرِينَ We have to

01:13:27 --> 01:13:30

have the sabr, do we have the sabr

01:13:30 --> 01:13:37

as ummah or we lose sabr, we don't

01:13:37 --> 01:13:38

have the patience.

01:13:42 --> 01:13:49

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا۟ اصْبِرُوا۟ وَصَبِرُوا۟ All you

01:13:49 --> 01:13:52

who believe, asbiru, be patient.

01:13:54 --> 01:13:58

وَصَبِرُوا۟ And exhibit more patience than the patience

01:13:58 --> 01:14:04

of your enemies, beat your enemies regarding the

01:14:04 --> 01:14:09

sabr, patience, have more sabr.

01:14:12 --> 01:14:16

And only on the day of resurrection, those

01:14:16 --> 01:14:20

who are patient, they will receive their reward

01:14:20 --> 01:14:21

without measures.

01:14:26 --> 01:14:31

May Allah grant us the sabr and fill

01:14:31 --> 01:14:34

our hearts with the iman of sabr.

01:14:36 --> 01:14:40

And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep

01:14:40 --> 01:14:45

us remain steadfast on this beautiful deal until

01:14:46 --> 01:14:49

we meet Him, glory be to Him and

01:14:49 --> 01:14:54

find Him subhanahu wa ta'ala, pleased with

01:14:54 --> 01:14:55

all of us.

01:14:56 --> 01:15:02

May Allah forgive us our faults, mistakes and

01:15:02 --> 01:15:02

ignorance.

01:15:04 --> 01:15:07

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless us

01:15:07 --> 01:15:10

with the beneficial knowledge of righteous deeds.

01:15:11 --> 01:15:13

And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala unite

01:15:13 --> 01:15:16

our hearts together and may Allah unite our

01:15:16 --> 01:15:18

ummah together and may Allah bring our heart

01:15:18 --> 01:15:21

and unite them on the haqq, on the

01:15:21 --> 01:15:21

truth.

01:15:21 --> 01:15:25

And may Allah reward all of you, my

01:15:25 --> 01:15:29

dear brothers and sisters, immensely for your patience

01:15:30 --> 01:15:31

and attendance.

01:15:32 --> 01:15:38

Barakallahu feekum, jazaakumullahu khaira, salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi

01:15:38 --> 01:15:39

wa barakatuh.

01:15:42 --> 01:15:44

Ameen wa alaikum salamu alaikum wa barakatuh.

01:15:44 --> 01:15:48

For the beneficial lesson and may Allah accept

01:15:48 --> 01:15:49

everyone's attendance.

01:15:49 --> 01:15:50

Have you ever received a few questions?

01:15:51 --> 01:15:52

Please let me know when you've received the

01:15:52 --> 01:15:52

first one.

01:15:55 --> 01:16:47

Yes, go ahead.

01:16:51 --> 01:16:55

The first question is when something falls or

01:16:55 --> 01:16:58

happens, some people cry out Muhammad Rasulullah or

01:16:58 --> 01:17:00

call out other than Allah.

01:17:00 --> 01:17:02

Does this make that person kafir?

01:17:04 --> 01:17:06

No, this person is ignorant.

01:17:07 --> 01:17:07

He doesn't know.

01:17:07 --> 01:17:09

We have to teach him.

01:17:09 --> 01:17:12

And of course, you should not ask the

01:17:12 --> 01:17:13

Prophet of Allah.

01:17:13 --> 01:17:16

You should not ask the Prophet of Allah.

01:17:16 --> 01:17:18

This is to call the Prophet of Allah.

01:17:18 --> 01:17:19

This is cheap.

01:17:20 --> 01:17:22

But definitely this person is ignorant.

01:17:22 --> 01:17:25

So we need to educate them.

01:17:27 --> 01:17:28

Never use these words.

01:17:29 --> 01:17:31

Drive them from your mind.

01:17:32 --> 01:17:35

The issue of kafir, mushrik, kafir.

01:17:36 --> 01:17:38

Okay, educate the people.

01:17:38 --> 01:17:39

Educate them.

01:17:40 --> 01:17:40

Next.

01:17:43 --> 01:17:44

Next question.

01:17:45 --> 01:17:48

Since it's prohibited to ask forgiveness from Allah,

01:17:48 --> 01:17:51

non-believers, as per the Quran, Allah says

01:17:51 --> 01:17:54

in ayat number 113 of Surah Tawbah.

01:17:56 --> 01:17:57

There is no way that a prophet and

01:17:57 --> 01:18:00

believers can ask forgiveness for the mushrikin, even

01:18:00 --> 01:18:01

if they are the closest relatives.

01:18:02 --> 01:18:03

One of your classes.

01:18:03 --> 01:18:08

Why was it said that Busayri and the

01:18:08 --> 01:18:10

writer of the Burda, which you and the

01:18:10 --> 01:18:13

other ulama have agreed, has made a lot

01:18:13 --> 01:18:14

of shirk in this Burda?

01:18:15 --> 01:18:16

So what the questioner wants to know.

01:18:18 --> 01:18:20

Wants me to say Busayri is kafir, mushrik?

01:18:23 --> 01:18:27

What the questioner wants to know.

01:18:31 --> 01:18:31

Sure.

01:18:32 --> 01:18:34

Listen to me, brothers and sisters.

01:18:34 --> 01:18:36

How many times I mentioned this to you?

01:18:37 --> 01:18:42

There's no harm in reiterating and re-saying

01:18:42 --> 01:18:43

it.

01:18:45 --> 01:18:47

First of all, I want you to keep

01:18:47 --> 01:18:47

in mind.

01:18:49 --> 01:18:54

If a scholar or alim says something, any

01:18:54 --> 01:19:00

muslim says something, bid'ah, or says something

01:19:00 --> 01:19:04

which is kufr, does this make him kafir

01:19:04 --> 01:19:06

by default immediately?

01:19:07 --> 01:19:09

Though the statement, that's why I want you

01:19:09 --> 01:19:17

to differentiate between the saying and the person,

01:19:17 --> 01:19:19

between the action and the actor.

01:19:20 --> 01:19:22

You have to differentiate between the two.

01:19:24 --> 01:19:27

The saying is kufr, the saying is shirk,

01:19:27 --> 01:19:28

the saying is bid'ah.

01:19:29 --> 01:19:32

But does this make that person who said

01:19:32 --> 01:19:37

this statement kafir on the spot immediately by

01:19:37 --> 01:19:38

default?

01:19:39 --> 01:19:48

If you say this, then sorry to tell

01:19:48 --> 01:19:52

you that your ignorance is not simple, but

01:19:52 --> 01:19:54

compounded ignorance.

01:19:55 --> 01:19:57

And you are a compound, you have compound

01:19:57 --> 01:19:57

ignorance.

01:19:59 --> 01:20:01

You don't know what is coming out of

01:20:01 --> 01:20:09

your head, okay?

01:20:12 --> 01:20:15

When someone says something kufr, that will not

01:20:15 --> 01:20:18

make him kafir by default immediately.

01:20:25 --> 01:20:30

Because first of all, in order to label

01:20:30 --> 01:20:34

someone as mushrik or kafir, there are conditions

01:20:34 --> 01:20:43

to be fulfilled, the conditions of apostasy, and

01:20:43 --> 01:20:49

the misconceptions and the doubts to be clarified

01:20:49 --> 01:20:50

and removed.

01:20:54 --> 01:20:59

For example, someone said something out of ignorance

01:21:01 --> 01:21:03

and what he said is kufr or shirk.

01:21:04 --> 01:21:05

Will that one make him kafir?

01:21:05 --> 01:21:05

No.

01:21:13 --> 01:21:14

And listen to the proofs.

01:21:18 --> 01:21:24

Musa alayhis-salam, when they just came out

01:21:24 --> 01:21:34

from the sea with Bani Israel, just

01:21:34 --> 01:21:42

delivered, saved, they passed by people worshipping idols.

01:21:43 --> 01:21:53

Immediately they asked Musa alayhis-salam, So they

01:21:53 --> 01:21:56

requested, they asked Musa alayhis-salam, oh Musa,

01:21:57 --> 01:22:02

elect for us, give some images, like they're

01:22:02 --> 01:22:05

gods, we want something to worship.

01:22:05 --> 01:22:09

Like they're gods, make an ilah for us,

01:22:09 --> 01:22:11

deity for us, like this.

01:22:13 --> 01:22:14

This is kufr, no doubt.

01:22:18 --> 01:22:20

No doubt, it's kufr, blasphemy.

01:22:21 --> 01:22:24

But Musa alayhis-salam, did he consider them

01:22:24 --> 01:22:25

disbelievers?

01:22:26 --> 01:22:27

Catholics?

01:22:27 --> 01:22:31

No, because they were ignorant.

01:22:37 --> 01:22:38

He corrected them.

01:22:38 --> 01:22:41

But he did not consider them disbelievers.

01:22:42 --> 01:22:49

Take Isa alayhis-salam, when his disciples, al

01:22:49 --> 01:22:55

-Hawariyun, they asked him, Can your Rabb, your

01:22:55 --> 01:22:59

Lord, can he send down a table from

01:22:59 --> 01:23:01

heaven for us to eat?

01:23:02 --> 01:23:08

So they were doubting Allah's ability to send

01:23:08 --> 01:23:08

down a table.

01:23:10 --> 01:23:19

Listen, Can your Rabb send down a table

01:23:19 --> 01:23:21

from heaven for us to eat?

01:23:22 --> 01:23:25

Doubting Allah's ability to send down a table

01:23:25 --> 01:23:30

is blasphemy, disbelief, kufr, apostasy.

01:23:33 --> 01:23:38

But did Isa consider them and treat them

01:23:38 --> 01:23:40

as apostates, disbelievers?

01:23:41 --> 01:23:43

No, because they were ignorant.

01:23:45 --> 01:23:49

And Allah sent down the table for them.

01:23:52 --> 01:23:55

So ignorance is an excuse, my dear brothers

01:23:55 --> 01:23:55

and sisters.

01:23:58 --> 01:24:00

The Sahaba, with the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

01:24:00 --> 01:24:00

sallam.

01:24:01 --> 01:24:04

The Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam was travelling,

01:24:04 --> 01:24:07

and they passed by mushriks.

01:24:08 --> 01:24:11

And the mushriks were seeking blessing from a

01:24:11 --> 01:24:17

tree, hanging their swords on the tree, seeking

01:24:17 --> 01:24:20

blessing, wishing for victory.

01:24:24 --> 01:24:29

After they passed them, they came across a

01:24:29 --> 01:24:31

similar tree, another tree.

01:24:34 --> 01:24:38

Those who were newly reverted to Islam, so

01:24:38 --> 01:24:42

they have remnants of Jailiya, they said, O

01:24:42 --> 01:24:45

Prophet of Allah, this tree like that tree.

01:24:52 --> 01:24:56

Make for us a tree like theirs, seeking

01:24:56 --> 01:24:56

blessing.

01:24:58 --> 01:24:59

What did the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam

01:24:59 --> 01:25:00

say?

01:25:03 --> 01:25:21

He said, The

01:25:21 --> 01:25:25

Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam equated the two

01:25:25 --> 01:25:26

statements.

01:25:26 --> 01:25:33

The statement of the Israelites, make for us

01:25:33 --> 01:25:36

a God like theirs, which is blasphemy and

01:25:36 --> 01:25:40

kufr, and the statement of the Sahaba, make

01:25:40 --> 01:25:42

for us a tree like theirs.

01:25:42 --> 01:25:45

The two statements, the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

01:25:45 --> 01:25:50

sallam treated them the same, gave them the

01:25:50 --> 01:25:52

same judgment, that they are equal.

01:25:54 --> 01:26:01

But did he consider those who requested the

01:26:01 --> 01:26:03

tree, mushriks, kafirs?

01:26:04 --> 01:26:04

No.

01:26:04 --> 01:26:05

Why?

01:26:06 --> 01:26:07

They were ignorant.

01:26:11 --> 01:26:15

You can see a person will say something

01:26:15 --> 01:26:17

kufr, and that will not make him kafir,

01:26:18 --> 01:26:20

because he didn't mean that.

01:26:23 --> 01:26:27

The hadith which many of you know, the

01:26:27 --> 01:26:30

man who was in the desert traveling, and

01:26:30 --> 01:26:34

all his food, his sustenance, in the back

01:26:34 --> 01:26:38

of his camel, and then the camel ran

01:26:38 --> 01:26:46

away in the middle of nowhere, so he

01:26:46 --> 01:26:47

felt that he is going to die.

01:26:48 --> 01:26:52

So there was a tree, so he decided

01:26:52 --> 01:26:54

to sleep in the shade of the tree,

01:26:57 --> 01:26:58

and he slept.

01:26:59 --> 01:27:01

Then he woke up, when he opened his

01:27:01 --> 01:27:05

eyes, he saw his camel in front of

01:27:05 --> 01:27:10

him, standing with everything intact on its back.

01:27:11 --> 01:27:15

He took hold of the rein, the rope

01:27:15 --> 01:27:19

of the camel, and he said, because now

01:27:19 --> 01:27:24

he was very happy, so what did he

01:27:24 --> 01:27:25

say?

01:27:25 --> 01:27:28

He said, Allahumma, listen to what he said,

01:27:28 --> 01:27:35

Allahumma, anta abdi wa ala rabbuk, that's what

01:27:35 --> 01:27:36

he said.

01:27:36 --> 01:27:40

O Allah, you are my servant, you are

01:27:40 --> 01:27:43

my slave, and I am your Rabb.

01:27:44 --> 01:27:48

Instead of saying, O Allah, I am your

01:27:48 --> 01:27:51

servant, and you are my Rabb, he said

01:27:51 --> 01:27:52

the opposite.

01:27:53 --> 01:27:56

The Prophet ﷺ said, akhtaa min shiddat al

01:27:56 --> 01:28:00

-farah, he made that mistake because of the

01:28:00 --> 01:28:03

overjoyed, the happiness.

01:28:05 --> 01:28:10

Though what he said is kufr, disbelief, did

01:28:10 --> 01:28:12

that make him kafir?

01:28:12 --> 01:28:17

No, take another evidence, and I hope you

01:28:17 --> 01:28:22

are taking notes, because there are many brothers

01:28:22 --> 01:28:27

and sisters who are ignorant, they are carrying

01:28:27 --> 01:28:30

red cards with them, oh he is muqtada,

01:28:30 --> 01:28:33

he is kafir, distributing, hey, hold your horses,

01:28:34 --> 01:28:37

if you call a Muslim a kafir and

01:28:37 --> 01:28:38

he is not a kafir, you are the

01:28:38 --> 01:28:44

kafir, so serious matter, it's not a joke.

01:28:45 --> 01:28:55

Take another evidence, a man told

01:28:55 --> 01:29:02

his children, when I die, cremate my body,

01:29:05 --> 01:29:08

burn my body, cremate it, and then wait

01:29:08 --> 01:29:12

for a windy day, collect my ashes, wait

01:29:12 --> 01:29:18

for a windy day, and then scatter my

01:29:18 --> 01:29:26

ashes in land and in the sea, and

01:29:26 --> 01:29:36

if Allah was able to bring me back,

01:29:36 --> 01:29:42

he will punish me severely, so he was

01:29:42 --> 01:29:46

doubting resurrection, he was doubting the resurrection.

01:29:48 --> 01:29:56

And doubting resurrection is blasphemy, kufr, the Prophet

01:29:56 --> 01:30:00

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, faqalallahu lidhdharra tajamma

01:30:00 --> 01:30:04

'i, Allah said to all the particles of

01:30:04 --> 01:30:09

his ashes, come together, and they were collected,

01:30:09 --> 01:30:12

and he said, be, and he was there,

01:30:13 --> 01:30:17

Allah brought him back into life, and then

01:30:17 --> 01:30:21

Allah asked him, why did you do that,

01:30:24 --> 01:30:28

why did you do that, he said, al

01:30:28 --> 01:30:33

khawfu minka wa anta adra, al khawfu minka

01:30:33 --> 01:30:37

wa anta a'lam, because I was afraid

01:30:37 --> 01:30:40

of you, and you know that, and Allah

01:30:40 --> 01:30:47

forgave him, Allah forgave him, though what he

01:30:47 --> 01:30:51

uttered, what he said is kufr, so my

01:30:51 --> 01:30:54

dear brothers and sisters, my advice to you,

01:30:55 --> 01:30:59

learn your deen, leave these big issues for

01:30:59 --> 01:31:03

the udha, the judges, the ulama, not you,

01:31:03 --> 01:31:07

you are not cut for that, roll your

01:31:07 --> 01:31:13

sleeves to learn your deen first, so a

01:31:13 --> 01:31:17

person might say something, kufr or shirk, and

01:31:17 --> 01:31:19

that will not make him gathered at all,

01:31:20 --> 01:31:23

so coming to the burda, yes there are

01:31:23 --> 01:31:32

some bautic verses, critiqued by the ulama, and

01:31:32 --> 01:31:38

they said these bautic verses, they involve, they

01:31:38 --> 01:31:42

contain some shirk, for asking the prophet, or

01:31:42 --> 01:31:47

saying that Allah created the dunya and the

01:31:47 --> 01:31:51

akhirah for him, etc, based on a fabricated

01:31:51 --> 01:32:01

hadith, though some try to explain these

01:32:01 --> 01:32:05

bautic verses, in a way to give a

01:32:05 --> 01:32:08

reasonable meaning, so they said for example, when

01:32:08 --> 01:32:14

he was said, O honourable of Allah's creation,

01:32:15 --> 01:32:17

talking to the prophet, there is no one

01:32:17 --> 01:32:20

whom I can come to accept you on

01:32:20 --> 01:32:24

that horrible event, so they're saying he's talking

01:32:24 --> 01:32:27

about the day of resurrection, when the people

01:32:27 --> 01:32:34

come to all the people, prophets to talk

01:32:34 --> 01:32:37

to Allah, to quicken and hasten the reckoning,

01:32:38 --> 01:32:41

and finally they come to the prophet, so

01:32:43 --> 01:32:49

they critique these bautic verses, but they didn't

01:32:49 --> 01:32:54

consider al-busairah, a kafir, or something like

01:32:54 --> 01:32:58

that, though these bautic verses, they were critiqued,

01:33:01 --> 01:33:05

though there are many many beautiful verses in

01:33:05 --> 01:33:09

the burda, many beautiful ones there, I hope

01:33:09 --> 01:33:13

this is clear to the question, next, the

01:33:13 --> 01:33:19

next question, what is the punishment for one

01:33:19 --> 01:33:21

who is a persistent liar, so if parents

01:33:21 --> 01:33:24

say this is not my child, and have

01:33:24 --> 01:33:26

to cut them off, and disown them due

01:33:26 --> 01:33:29

to the parent's lack of islam, and following

01:33:29 --> 01:33:31

haram, etc, and they say to the child,

01:33:31 --> 01:33:33

don't talk to me about islam, is that

01:33:33 --> 01:33:36

cutting ties, I think there are two different

01:33:36 --> 01:33:42

questions, the first one, someone who lies is

01:33:42 --> 01:33:45

a sinner, no doubt, a major sin, lying

01:33:45 --> 01:33:48

is a major sin, and he or she

01:33:48 --> 01:33:51

has to make tawbah, and repent, and the

01:33:51 --> 01:33:53

door of tawbah is open for him, but

01:33:53 --> 01:33:56

he should not continue lying, because this is

01:33:56 --> 01:34:01

not, this is one of the qualities of

01:34:01 --> 01:34:05

the munafiq, the hypocrite, whenever he talks he

01:34:05 --> 01:34:08

lies, so he or she has to repent,

01:34:09 --> 01:34:12

and the door of tawbah is open, alhamdulillah,

01:34:13 --> 01:34:17

may Allah give him or her a sincere

01:34:17 --> 01:34:20

repentance, and bless them with sincere tawbah, ameen,

01:34:20 --> 01:34:26

next, and so is there a specific punishment

01:34:26 --> 01:34:28

for a liar, or is just a major

01:34:28 --> 01:34:30

sin, it's a major sin, it's a major

01:34:30 --> 01:34:34

sin, and the punishment is with Allah subhanahu

01:34:34 --> 01:34:38

wa ta'ala, of course in the shariah

01:34:38 --> 01:34:42

there is something called ta'zeer, which means

01:34:42 --> 01:34:46

it's not a specific punishment, known punishment, it's

01:34:46 --> 01:34:49

up to the qadi to choose what measure

01:34:49 --> 01:34:51

to discipline him, so it's up to the

01:34:51 --> 01:35:01

qadi, and the second part, if

01:35:01 --> 01:35:04

parents say this is not my child, and

01:35:04 --> 01:35:06

cut them off, and disown them, due to

01:35:06 --> 01:35:08

the parents lack of Islam, and following haram,

01:35:08 --> 01:35:10

etc, and they say to the child, don't

01:35:10 --> 01:35:12

talk to me about Islam, is this cutting

01:35:12 --> 01:35:24

ties, so

01:35:24 --> 01:35:28

they disowned their child, and their son or

01:35:28 --> 01:35:33

daughter, okay, because he is talking to them

01:35:33 --> 01:35:36

about Islam, or because he is not practicing

01:35:36 --> 01:35:43

Islam, because he is practicing, and talking about

01:35:43 --> 01:35:47

Islam, so because he is committed to this,

01:35:47 --> 01:35:52

they are not practicing Islam, so they disowned

01:35:52 --> 01:35:53

him for that reason, right?

01:35:54 --> 01:35:56

Yes, that's what I understand from the question.

01:35:57 --> 01:36:02

Okay, so of course, this is, of course,

01:36:02 --> 01:36:05

it's haram, okay, because you are punishing your

01:36:05 --> 01:36:10

child for no guilt, and he didn't do

01:36:10 --> 01:36:13

anything, he didn't commit anything, as a matter

01:36:13 --> 01:36:16

of fact, he's trying to guide you, the

01:36:16 --> 01:36:21

parents, and now they are telling him, leave

01:36:21 --> 01:36:22

us, you are not our son, you are

01:36:22 --> 01:36:25

not our child, and don't talk to us

01:36:25 --> 01:36:28

about Islam, and I can understand that, that

01:36:28 --> 01:36:32

there are many examples like this, and many

01:36:32 --> 01:36:36

of the parents said, oh, maybe he became

01:36:36 --> 01:36:40

apostate, and left Islam, or some, they don't

01:36:40 --> 01:36:42

know, they are totally ignorant about Islam, and

01:36:42 --> 01:36:47

they are secular, homogenous, and alcoholic, and all

01:36:47 --> 01:36:52

that stuff, so my advice for the brother

01:36:52 --> 01:36:56

or the sister is to be, have sabr,

01:36:56 --> 01:36:59

they are still your parents, and keep making

01:36:59 --> 01:37:02

dua for them, and ask Allah to guide

01:37:02 --> 01:37:08

them, okay, so don't sever the ties, okay,

01:37:08 --> 01:37:10

though they tell you, we don't want to

01:37:10 --> 01:37:14

see your face, no, go and knock on

01:37:14 --> 01:37:16

the door, let them slam the door on

01:37:16 --> 01:37:18

your face, let them spit on your face,

01:37:19 --> 01:37:22

but don't cut, because they don't know what

01:37:22 --> 01:37:28

they are doing, they don't know, subhanAllah, just

01:37:28 --> 01:37:30

remember, you see an old man, things are

01:37:30 --> 01:37:37

coming, and sometimes questions, they trigger something, one

01:37:37 --> 01:37:42

of the dua, or the dua, dua, callers

01:37:42 --> 01:37:48

dies, he was collecting donations for dawah, for

01:37:48 --> 01:37:54

helping the poor, and things like that, so

01:37:54 --> 01:38:01

he went to a businessman, so they say

01:38:01 --> 01:38:03

he is well off, go and ask him,

01:38:03 --> 01:38:04

so he went, when he knocked on the

01:38:04 --> 01:38:07

door, he opened the door, so he talked

01:38:07 --> 01:38:10

to him, and he said, we came, and

01:38:10 --> 01:38:13

asking for help, and this, he said, open

01:38:13 --> 01:38:19

your hand, so he opened his hand, as

01:38:19 --> 01:38:21

if he is going to put something, guess

01:38:21 --> 01:38:25

what, he spat, open your hand, he spat

01:38:25 --> 01:38:30

in his hand, he placed this sputum, this

01:38:30 --> 01:38:37

sputum, on his palm, this Ja'ib, subhanAllah,

01:38:37 --> 01:38:39

gave him head to mouth sabbath, he did

01:38:39 --> 01:38:43

like this, he wiped the sputum on his

01:38:43 --> 01:38:49

beard, and he told him, this is for

01:38:49 --> 01:38:53

me, what is for Allah, this, okay, you

01:38:53 --> 01:38:55

give it to me, I received it, what

01:38:55 --> 01:39:08

is for Allah, statement, shook the man, he

01:39:08 --> 01:39:18

cannot spit again, and he regretted, so

01:39:18 --> 01:39:24

we have to have sabr, go to them,

01:39:24 --> 01:39:29

talk to them, with hikmah, send them gifts,

01:39:35 --> 01:39:42

stop talking, let your actions speak, by being

01:39:42 --> 01:39:49

nice, kind, to them, and may Allah guide

01:39:49 --> 01:39:49

them, Ameen.

01:39:49 --> 01:39:55

Next, we have run out of time for

01:39:55 --> 01:39:58

questions, jazakAllah khair for the lesson, and may

01:39:58 --> 01:40:02

Allah accept everyone's attendance, and I'll hand it

01:40:02 --> 01:40:03

back to the Sheikh to conclude the lesson.

01:40:06 --> 01:40:07

There's one question you are missing.

01:40:09 --> 01:40:11

Yes, but I need to go to Maghrib,

01:40:12 --> 01:40:13

would you like me to?

01:40:13 --> 01:40:17

Okay, all right, inshaAllah, just keep this in

01:40:17 --> 01:40:19

mind, so that question will be answered, inshaAllah.

01:40:20 --> 01:40:21

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, my dear

01:40:21 --> 01:40:25

brothers and sisters, bless you all, reward you

01:40:25 --> 01:40:29

all, protect you all, bless your family, elevate

01:40:29 --> 01:40:31

your status in this world, and in Jannatul

01:40:31 --> 01:40:32

Naeem, Ameen.

01:40:32 --> 01:40:35

Until we meet inshaAllah, in the coming session,

01:40:35 --> 01:40:38

I leave you in Allah's company and protection.

01:40:39 --> 01:40:40

Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri

01:40:40 --> 01:40:40

Surat al-Fatiha.
