May I start the
Last last,
Friday, I think the the session was not
recorded.
No. I have re recorded and saved to
my computer. I'm working it I'm working on
uploading it to the YouTube channel.
Yeah.
So we are joined again with another evening
with Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
And,
Sheikh, I will let you go ahead.
Please.
To
her.
Dear brothers and sisters in the 2 days
of our weekly
with
with
the
and Nadine whom.
So here, the
is telling us that
this false issue is going to address
that the religion of the
people of Jahiliyyah
was based and
built upon
certain
principles
they invented,
and the greatest of these principles
is the blind imitation,
blind following, the.
So this is the the greatest or the
biggest principle for all of the disbelievers.
Those who in the past and those at
present and those who
will come in the future.
So this is very important, my dear brothers
and sisters,
to know that
this is a common the common denominator
among all the kafars,
all the,
people of Jahiliyyah.
This is
common among them, blind following
just what they found their,
forefathers,
were doing.
Even
they don't reflect, they don't question
what their fathers were doing.
Was were such practices
beneficial,
virtuous,
which were asked to accept normal? Just
carry on. Do what they your fathers were
doing.
Okay. That is we touched upon in the
last session,
and today, we'll continue.
So
the Quran, you see
because Allah
the Quran, my dear brothers and sisters, as
you know, it is
Allah's kalam,
Allah's speech, Allah's word.
So the the
Qur'anic refutations
are so powerful,
so powerful.
So when they said,
we just follow what we found our forefathers
were doing,
the Quran
posed the question to them.
Allah posed the question to them.
Because they
said
what?
Where did I just say to them, follow
what Allah revealed, Allah sent down? No. No.
No. They say
no.
Nay, brother,
we shall follow what
we found our forefathers.
Following.
Ask them.
No people who have common sense,
who think, who reason,
they just
continue just like that, like flock of sheep.
Would they do so even
if the devil invites them to the torment
of the fire?
That's what the shaitan
is taking them too.
Then the Quran,
Allah
said,
See, this is the Quranic
response.
The Surat Saba Allah said.
Surat Saba ayah 46.
The meaning,
say or prophet,
I advise you
to do only one thing.
Stand up
for the sake of our law,
individually
or
or in pairs,
then reflect,
then think.
Your
fellow man, the prophet
is not insane.
He's only
a warner
to you
before the coming of a severe
punishment.
Let us pause and reflect.
This is the Quranic
answer.
This is the Quranic
guidance for them.
This is what Allah
addressed
their argument. This how the Quran Allah addressed
it,
telling them, call o Muhammad. Tell them.
Because they are telling you they will not
accept what you
came with.
They will carry on doing
what they found their forefathers doing. So Kol,
say,
I only ask you for one thing.
I remind you
to do only one thing.
I advise you
to do only one thing,
the one thing.
Because you see,
the mind is a gift from Allah.
And this apple, the intellect,
this faculty of reasoning,
Allah gave it to the human being. He
didn't give it to he didn't give it
to other species.
So you need to use it.
Otherwise, if you don't use this faculty,
which Allah blessed you with,
then you are worse than the cattle
worse
than
the
cattle.
The Quran, my dear brothers and sisters, Allah
invites the believers to reflect and to think.
Okay.
Only remind you,
advise you,
recommend you to do one thing.
What is it?
Only one thing,
to stand up,
K? And 2,
reflect
about what I am saying to you, what
I'm inviting you to.
Evaluate this
message that came to you.
Try to find if there is
any flaw in it,
but be objective.
Don't be biased.
Remove all
the conceived
preconceived notions.
Clear your mind.
Be objective,
and get up
and
think.
And
so that you
stand up
to sick.
For the sake of Allah. That means
there is here complete impartiality.
There is
no higher saying.
Very objective.
It's not subjective. No. Objectively.
If you are
sincere and you want to know
and our prophet invites you
to this way, a new way that you
are not used to it,
so think about it.
Get up and think about it.
And
or
individually either in pairs,
and you are having this
dialogue among yourselves,
k, objectively.
You are alone, 2 together, or 1 together.
Just think.
This is what he's calling us to do.
2.
Something good, something bad?
Does it make sense?
Is it rational?
Does it resonate with our,
nature?
You see, any human being this is Allah's
rama.
Any human being
who's sincere
and search for the truth,
and he reasons and thinks
objectively
without clear first of all, reset your mind.
Clear it.
You want to know about Islam?
Clear your mind.
All the things that you know about Islam
and you heard about Islam from the non
Muslims?
Remove that.
And be honest,
be objective,
then
open the Quran and read.
Many
who were objective,
sincere,
finished.
That's it.
They
they found what they were looking for throughout
their life.
This is it.
Every every verse
resonates
with the
Is this unfair? No. Very
Quran is only asking them to get up
and think,
then reflect.
Here, this is the the point.
The
Quran wants you to think, to reflect,
not to be a blind follower.
Like a sheep.
No.
You're a human being.
You don't let
someone
to think on your behalf,
and you keep this
back unused
till
it becomes rusty.
No. Use it.
Allah
blames those who do not make
reflection.
Don't they reflect and ponder upon the Quran?
If you ponder and reflect, you will know
this is the word of Allah.
Even had it been from other than Allah,
they would have found in it
a lot of of many contradictions.
So to think,
because thinking
is against the Jahiliyyah.
People of Jahiliyyah,
they don't think.
They just emulate and follow.
They follow what they found their forefathers.
And then you see the
the irony here or the
contradiction.
The same person,
he thinks when it comes to
mundane issues,
for example,
material stuff, science. He may be a scientist.
But at the same time, when it comes
to
the real thing, the faith, the belief,
he's very superstitious,
and he follows just what he found in
his forefathers went away.
So he thinks in one area, and another
area, he doesn't think.
So when you
emulate and imitate and follow your forefathers, that
means you don't think. So the Quran wants
you
to
think. To think.
Because they are saying, oh, Mohammed is insane.
Mad.
So the Quran tells
them, get up
in twos
or individually
and be honest
and think about it. Is he insane? Is
Mohammed insane?
If he is mad insane,
how come such
insane person,
mad person
comes with such
beautiful
heart.
It touches the heart, moves the heart,
so eloquent.
And that person
cannot reduce something like that
because when a mad person who is mad,
his way of thinking
that's why he there is no.
There is no with the mad person.
And what the does, it's called in Arabic
because it
inhibits you,
stops you
because you have mine.
Oh, this is danger. Don't go there.
The doctor
does that.
It stops you.
Oh, this is poison. Don't drink it.
That's what the author tells you,
so it prevents you.
But the person who doesn't have mind, he
doesn't have that. That's why
the the pen will not lie against anything
that the mad person or the or
the innocent person
person does
because he doesn't have that tool to stop
him.
That's why you find a mad person,
no one will get offended. He will insult
you. Maybe he will hit you.
They will smile.
What they do? He's mad.
No one will blame the mad person. No
one.
Because they know. How can you blame someone
just like a child?
He doesn't have that faculty. He doesn't have
that mechanism.
He doesn't have that tool that will prevent
him, which is.
So how come then, Mohammed, if you are
saying he's insane,
he came with this
wonderful speech
that moves the heart,
mesmerizing
you,
and you, a whole lot altogether,
the disbelievers. You failed
to bring some verse like the
like any of the verses
he
recited to you.
So it cannot be.
It's it is impossible.
A mad person to come with this beautiful
Quran. Impossible.
So that's why the Quran telling them, just
think.
Your problem now, you are thinking emotional. You're
not thinking rationally
because you have this already you made out
of your mind
and many prices you have. Get rid of
the prices
and be objective
and reason then.
You will find out. You are going to
know.
You follow man? Muhammad
is
not insane,
and you know that.
During the day, they say, oh, he's a
possessed person.
Okay? He has demon.
He's mad.
And at night,
when he's praying
in the Haram, in the Kaaba, Masiyed,
they will go and listen
to his recitation.
Abu Sefian of the after he became a
Muslim,
he told us this.
He said,
when the night
falls,
I would go.
After when the night fell, I would go
and find a place to hide myself
where I will be able to
hear Muhammad's recitation,
and I enjoy that.
So the prophet is reading, and the is
listening.
Because
they they know this is something
and not being
the speech of a human being.
Simultaneously,
at the same time, Abu Jahl.
So Abusafyan in one place, Abu
Jahl also in another place
doing the same thing.
In the morning, oh, I use this, use
that. At night,
they, they go there and start listening.
When the day is about to break, now
they are afraid if they are spotted or
seen by the people,
so they had to run to their homes.
He said that many times,
we run into each other because it is
still dark.
What are you doing?
How come? What are you doing?
Get quiet.
What are the people's eyes?
Okay. Fine.
Josef Yan,
don't come next night.
Promise me, and I will not come.
Yes. I will not come.
Each one promised the other.
So now everyone
is sure the other will not come. Say,
okay. He's not coming. So let me go
and enjoy myself and enjoy listening.
And both of them, they went,
and it happened this many times.
So this proves what?
That you are listening to one who is
sane,
wise.
You are listening to a prophet.
His words, they touch your heart,
and you couldn't resist
listening to
to him.
And if he
is
was just, insane,
Why do
you trust him?
You give him your valuable stuff,
your gold, your money.
And you say, oh, Mohammed, you are Usadat
al Amin. We trust you.
Keep this
with you.
You give your money to a person who
is mad?
Then you are mad.
No. He's not mad.
We only we lie.
He is the most trustworthy
person in Mecca.
Yes.
They are lie they lie about him. They
say things about Chen,
but they know
he's not
insane.
And they know he's telling the truth.
So they would come to him and say,
keep
these valuable
things with you.
That's why the prophet
before he
migrated to Medina,
he left Ali behind,
and he told him,
give the people their belongings.
This belongs to so and so. This belongs
to so and so.
It's only
a to you.
Before
the coming
of a severe,
painful,
severe
punishment.
So this ayah,
the relevance of this ayah,
you have to keep in you should ask
yourself as a student of Nali when you
are studying any book.
The
imam, Hamidah Abdul Haab,
the way he
would
extract
the the evidence from the ayah of the
Hadith is amazing.
Amazing.
So what is the relevance between this ayah
in Surat Saba 46
with this subject
that the people of the Jahiliyyah,
they are blind followers?
What is the relevance?
The relevance
that the ayah is asking them
to think and to reflect.
Because the people of Jahiliyyah, they don't reflect.
They are just blind followers.
So Allah,
because they were not using
their minds, Allah is asking them to use
their minds and to think and reflect
and not to follow their
forefathers
blindly. That is the relationship, and that is
the relevance of the aya
to this particular
mas'allah,
particular
issue.
Because is
blind followship,
blind following, blind imitation.
And the person who makes the lead,
person who
follows someone blindly,
so he doesn't think.
He doesn't think.
Because if you think,
you will not follow
people blindly.
Allah has given you
this
blessing,
this faculty,
you use it.
Also, Allah said
so the imam now is telling
refuting
what the people of Galilea were upon
by the Quran. This is his style,
the style of Sheikh Muhammad.
Read his books.
Aya Hadith. Aya Hadith.
So now he's quoting
another verse from Surat Al Arab, ayah number
3.
That this how Al
Islam
refutes the Jahiliyyah
and addresses this issue of Jahiliyyah,
what they were upon,
and giving them the right
approach and what they should do.
So Allah says in Surat al
Follow what has been sent down to you
from your love from your Lord,
and do not take others as guardians
besides him.
How seldom are you mindful?
Let us pause and reflect.
So what Allah
you should now I want you to ask
on yourself, what is the relevance
in the with, between
the the issue, which
are blind following
and this blind imitations of the evil Ghalia.
How this eye reviews them? I want you
to think.
Use your minds now
and see what is the relevance of the
eye to this particular issue.
So this area says what?
A tabular follow. Follow what?
What you found your father's doing? No.
Follow what Allah
sent, Dawid.
Follow the revelation.
Follow the divine
guidance.
Follow what your prophets are telling you.
Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
out of his mercy,
he revealed
the scriptures,
and he sent the prophets and messengers
for the benefit of humanity,
for the human being
to be guided
to be guided.
That's why if you read the history,
whenever
humanity starts to digress, to deviate,
Allah will send them
Warner,
Messenger, Prophet
to bring them back. Because now they are
leaving their the track.
Bring them back and place them in the
track.
And this was
continuous.
And finally,
the one who was sent
for the entire human being
is Muhammad,
and his message,
to bring humanity back
to the safe path, to the safe line,
to the way of salvation.
Today,
humanity,
is in great loss.
That's why they need the Quran. They need
that Islam.
Only the Quran, only a Islam that can
place them and put them on the right
track. Only a Islam.
And alhamdulillah, people are coming.
People are discovering. People are realizing
that the way of salvation
is Islam.
Because if you want to be guided, follow
what is sent down, follow the scripture,
you'll be guided.
Because this cut came from up,
from a wall.
The moment you cut your the ties, you
cut the link, your relationship
with your creator,
then you are doomed,
then you are in great loss,
misery,
misery,
horrible life,
miserable life.
Whoever turns away
from my reminder,
from my remembrance.
So you leave Allah's zikr.
You leave
this guidance that came to you.
Surely, he's going to have
miserable life.
So narrow.
You don't know what to do.
Problems from every you are overwhelmed with your
problem.
You are suffocating.
You don't know what to do.
You have this
spiritual vacuum inside you,
and you try
to get happiness and you can't get it.
Like someone who's thirsty,
and he is drinking
buying solution,
salty
water.
The salty water will not quench your thirst.
You will become more thirsty.
You try to fill this, what you had
inside
this vacuum.
You get to to feel happy.
Drugs,
alcohols,
women,
name it,
and your misery is increasing and increasing.
What to do?
Don't you know that
these countries that have everything
is permissible?
You want women? See them in front of
you there.
You can see them through the glass.
With light district. There in front of you.
Go.
Want women?
What do you want? Drugs
in the menu, in the restaurant?
You all ask for it.
Yet such countries,
their youth are killing themselves,
committing suicide.
They commit suicide.
The youth. Why?
They get fed up with this life.
They have this
vacuum inside. They don't know what to do
with it. What will fill it?
They feel unhappy.
What will fill it?
Yes. Nothing will fill that vacuum
except
to come back and connect.
Come back and connect
with your creator.
Because this, what is crying inside you,
is your soul.
And we know nothing about it.
So the solution is provided by human beings
will not have it because they don't know
What will keep this soul
satisfied? They don't know.
So they tell you drugs, women, alcohol.
So they are making your situation
worse and worse, and your health will deteriorate
and deteriorate.
You want to fill that vacuum,
come back,
connect
with your creator,
because that is the soul.
And what will
satisfy the soul is only the Rivada,
the worship,
communication with the creator,
accepting
his guidance,
accepting his instructions,
following
what he sent down,
following what the prophets
of Allah,
the prophets whom he sent
tell us to do,
then and only then,
you will start not having this balance
because a human being is not only body.
It's body and soul and mind.
So you have to strike
the balance.
Any imbalance
will make your life suffer
and will make your life miserable.
That's why you find people who are
religiously have this peace of mind
happy.
Because everything is
in order,
balanced,
and that's what Islam does.
Everything
everything is
balanced.
Body?
Tells you, take care of the body.
Eat well.
Sleep well.
Avoid harmful foods.
Avoid avoid harmful drinks. Don't drink
alcohol because they're destroyed. Don't smoke
the drugs.
Take care of the body,
then take care of your mind.
Save it from the drugs
because
taking drugs will damage your brain.
Then the Islam tells you
because you have also inclination
towards the opposite *.
No problem. Get married.
Halal way
up to 4. You can marry 4 women.
If one woman is not enough for you
and you can't afford
providing for them, you can have 4 women,
4 wives,
and that will
solve the problem of this surplus number of
women
and clean community.
Beautiful.
If you follow the guidance
because that is what Allah
gave us this
set of instructions,
this book to follow it.
If you want that
vacuum
to be filled,
you come back to Allah.
That's what Allah is saying.
The problem with humanity today,
humanity doesn't follow what Allah sha and ta'on.
This is the problem.
We don't want to listen
and follow the guidance
that was sent to us by our creator
who made us, whom our maker.
At the same time, we follow
what
human beings like us,
devised for us, manufactured for us.
So this is the way this will make
you happy. This is the
the way of salvation.
This is
the code of life for you,
and they make your life miserable. And they
themselves
are having miserable lives
because a human being
is limited.
Human being doesn't know.
What the human being we don't know what
will happen tomorrow to us.
I will not get limited.
We don't know what are the problems in
the pipeline.
We don't know.
So when a human being gave,
he said, I will not follow
the scripture. I will not follow the guidance
that came from God.
I know
my life better than anyone.
I will make laws and enact laws
to
organize
our mundane affairs.
And this is
set of rules you have to follow,
and they call that
constitution.
Follow the constitution.
Okay. Those who made that constitution are human
beings.
Are they perfect? No. Did they know what
will happen in the future? No.
After a while,
new problems
came.
New problems. New issues.
They are not.
The constitution
is silent about that. There's nothing mentioned about
these issues. What to do?
Oh,
we have to amend
the constitution.
Amend it.
You add
amendments to it.
Start a few leaves, few pages,
and it is getting bulky and bulky than
volumes and volumes the constitution.
Because it is the work of the human
being who
doesn't know what will happen tomorrow.
That's one thing. The second thing,
the one who made this law,
he kept in mind,
what if I am, quote, red handed,
I should know how to escape.
So he keeps in the law that he
concocted
loopholes
loopholes.
So man made law is so porous,
full of loopholes,
and the professional
lawyers, they know
these loopholes.
But what is came down from Allah,
perfect.
There's no flaw or defect in
it. So Allah here is
commanding
the people to follow what has come down,
what came from him,
not what what other people
invented for them.
Democracy,
secularism,
modernism,
any ism,
all rubbish.
You don't accept?
Oh, democracy.
Don't you know that
the I think Aristotle is against democracy?
Because he realized the flows of democracy.
Because in democracy,
what what type of the people that want
becomes okay.
It's okay.
Man wants to marry another man. It's okay.
Roaching.
Yes. Give them their lights.
Man.
Manning another man, a woman, manning another woman.
And who knows what's in the pipeline?
He has
this is his right protected by the law.
Which law?
The one came from up? No.
The law that is made
by
the perverted ones.
So Allah is telling human beings, follow what
was sent down to you.
K? Don't follow what you found your forefathers
are doing.
No.
Gauge
gauge and measure
what your forefathers
are do doing and what your fathers are
doing and what the community and the society
are doing.
Check it against the
criterion,
the standard, the yardstick,
the revelation.
Don't you know before,
few years back,
you hear the word taboo?
No. That is taboo.
Is there anything taboo today?
Even the dictionaries today, open any dictionary,
you'll find a small
triangle
next to the word.
But this is taboo.
Nothing is taboo today.
So follow?
What has been sent down to you from
your lord, from your love, from your creator?
Do not take others.
Others.
You make them legislators,
lawmakers.
As guardians
besides him.
Whatever they
tell you to do, you follow and you
accept.
Don't do that.
Little, you reflect. Little, you remember.
How seldom
are you mindful?
So this beautiful is
telling the people of Jahiliyyah,
follow the revelation.
Follow what came from your god,
and don't just follow people
and your forefathers
blindly
without reasoning.
So that is the relevance of the ayah
to this particular
matter,
to this particular issue,
because he commands
us, Allah,
to follow what is sent down
upon his messengers and prophets.
And he prohibited us from following
because they are human beings.
So who is he?
Who is he to follow?
He's a human being like you.
Why should I follow you?
What should I why should I follow
what you are saying?
What guarantee
can I have that you are not mistaken
or that you are not leading me astray?
What guarantee?
Nothing.
Everyone will say, okay.
This what you think. This what I think.
You think it is wrong? I think it
is right.
So where is
where's the reference?
You see,
without having a reference,
you'll life will become chaotic.
Chaotic.
There's no law. There must be reference. We
have to go back to it.
Not that, okay. I am free. I want
to do whatever I want. No.
No one
will accept
this. You're not free.
Your freedom is limited,
controlled.
You cannot say to the policeman,
if you cross the red light, I'm free.
No.
You're not free.
You're guilty.
They will handcuff you
and put you in jail
because
you are not supposed to cross the
traffic signal when it is red,
so there is a limit.
There is low. There is
reference.
We got 2. Oh, yes.
I didn't notice. I didn't see that it
was red.
But see see see see the picture?
You were the camera got you.
You get quiet,
so there must be a reference.
Not that, okay, we follow the the apple
or the intelligence or the intellect. Whose intellect
intellect you'll follow? Why your intellect not mine?
Why?
Assume that
you are sitting
in a place
and crazy person
came holding the pistol in his hand.
Guys,
and he is playing with the revolver.
I think I have to finish you.
Why? I think it's a good idea.
This is what I think.
What do you accept?
Look what he thinks.
K? It it is okay. It's alright. It's
fine
to
end your life.
But this is what my mind tells me.
This my apple tells me that.
So without reference,
people to refer to,
people just it will be the law of
the jungle.
So that's why
there is system,
perfect and fair,
system
which is practical,
system
that will
bring happiness,
peace,
security
to the entire nation.
And that's only the law
of the
creator of the heavens on the earth.
Man made law
has many loopholes,
flows,
defects.
Go and see the prisons. They are packed
by criminals.
Man made law didn't stop them
from committing crimes.
Didn't stop them.
But the law of Allah
that was sent down, yes,
brings down the crime
because the punishments are so severe.
So the criminal will think many times
before committing any crime.
And you'll be surprised just to find out
that
in the science of crime, which they call
it
criminology,
the criminal crimin
criminologists, they say
the the experts on crime, they say,
if you want the rate of crimes to
come down, what should you do?
They say you have to
heighten the punishment
heighten
the punishment. Make the punishment very high, severe,
so the rate of crime will come down.
The rate of crime will come down.
So Allah
who meant us to follow what he sent
down,
the scriptures, the revelation,
and not what human beings invented
and concocted.
Because
what the prophets are messengers
of God, of Allah,
wrote for humanity,
all
of them
is the truth without doubt.
The truth without
doubt,
perfect
laws.
He said
in his tafsir, at
Al Ghan al Ihgamul Quran, volume number 7,
8
161, he said,
so he's talking about this verse, which is
number 3 in.
So he commented, and he
The meaning, he said,
this ayah
explicitly
states,
tells us
that it is not allowed
to accept any other opinion
in the presence of the religious text.
You have revelation
beforehand,
the words of God,
what God said,
then
you have no other option.
As Muslims,
we still
show respect to that,
and
not all of us, not all the Muslims,
some.
Because some, they are,
already left
this deal,
and they think they are still Muslims,
secularists,
modernists,
etcetera, advocates of
the. Many of them
clearly
became,
and
they are talking about it. They are not
hiding it.
But the bulk
of the Muslims,
no. This is what Allah said. Finish.
Right? No.
Allah
prohibited
*.
The *. You don't hear this word *.
You hear beautiful words, gain. He's a gain.
You know the meaning of gain? He's happy.
So he's
gay, not Sodomite.
So the word used in the scripture,
if you read your bible,
the bible I'm talking of if there is
a non Muslim listening,
The Sodomites, that is their name, Sodomites.
Those are the ones that are destroyed them.
The entire
town
was destroyed
because of this sin
that they were
practicing, this wise
people of Lut.
Allah
sent Yibbiel alaihis salaam,
and he uprooted
the entire city
and carried it on
the wing.
One of his wings, he uprooted the entire,
and he flew with it
to the height,
to the altitude
where the people in the first heaven
heard the barks of the dogs
and the
cries of the roosters.
So the whole
town's city, Sodom,
was taken like that,
then he inverted it.
Excavations
revealed
the phone
that
the dwellings are inverted.
They were destroyed.
So that's why we cannot say.
Those people, they have rights. What rights?
And then you find
who call themselves
polars.
You see, they have rights.
Who gave them such rights?
If you believe that they have the rights
to practice this vice,
check your Islam.
Because if you say he has rights
and they have to protect his right
and defend his right.
So you are saying it is halal for
him to do it.
Allah destroy them,
and you are defending them.
So check yourself
and check your Islam.
So that's what Imam Khotsu is saying.
Allah made it Haram finished.
Hamar is Haram. It's finished.
Because no one can say anything.
If you say Hamar is Haram,
you're not a Muslim
because
you become.
Whoever denies what is known of the deen
by necessity,
That's it.
If you deny anything of the teaching of
Islam that is known by necessity,
every Muslim knows it.
You deny that.
Allah made it haram. You're saying it is
halal. It's okay.
Then
you left Islam
because you are not following
what Allah revealed.
Rather, you follow what others made,
and you say, you know what?
Morally,
I will not accept.
But, politically,
I will accept.
Hello? Hello? Hello?
What is this?
What is this? What's going on?
This verse
explicitly states that it is not allowed
to accept any other opinion in the presence
of the religious text. Revelation
says this,
chapter is closed.
Chapter is closed.
May Allah
keep us to remain steadfast on this beautiful
day
until we meet our loved,
find him pleased
with all of us.
May
Allah forgive us
our faults,
mistakes,
and ignorance.
May Allah
bless us with the beneficent knowledge of our
just deeds.
May Allah unite
over
and
place all our on the right track,
following the footsteps of our prophet
and
may Allah unite our
And may Allah reward all of you,
my dear brothers and sisters,
immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Amin, JazakAllah Khaira.
I really enjoyed the story of Abu Jahl
and,
Abu Ghul Sophia.
That was really enjoyable.
Okay for that.
By your commission, please, could we move on
to the questions?
We move on to the q and a,
Sheikh.
Yeah. We can start the q and a,
but try to
see your mic.
Okay. Inshallah.
So the first question is,
I wanted to know if it is permissible
to call our milk parents, mom and dad.
Is it permissible
to call our milk parents mom and dad?
Okay. Let me,
see the question.
Think it is forwarded to me.
Because sometimes the virus is clear, sometimes it's
not. I don't know why. The sound.
Okay. I wanted to know if it is
permissible to call our
milk parents, okay, mom and dad.
Okay. You mean the, this is, this will
call it,
the fostering mother and fostering father.
The answer, yes. She is your mother
because of fostering, breastfeeding,
and he is your father also as well.
Is there any responsibility
on the milk son to take care of
his milk parents in old age, etcetera?
Okay. So this now opens the topic, which
is the issue of breastfeeding.
The issue of breastfeeding, first of all, my
dear brothers and sisters
sisters,
keep this in mind.
You are not allowed to breastfeed any child
without
the consent and the permission of the husband.
The prophet
said,
at Leben
Leben.
The milk belongs to the father,
to the male,
Because some women,
they just keep breastfeeding without asking.
Because
the moment you breastfeed this child
5 times
and the
suckles
and the ulama, of course, this is also
controversial,
but the strongest
five times.
And each time the child takes the breast
and start sucking
the milk, and then
he leaves the
the breast. That is 1.
Then he goes back,
and he keeps sucking, sucking, sucking,
and then he leaves. That is 2, etcetera.
So if
she blessed with him 5 times, then he
is her son.
Not only he is her son,
her husband is the father of this son.
Our children,
both girls and boys,
are his father's persistence.
Our blah blah is his maternal uncle.
The blah blah of her husband is his
paternal
uncle.
Your sister is his auntie,
his maternal aunt.
The sister
of his father
is his paternal
aunt aunt. The
father is his grandfather.
Just like that he is becomes like your
biological
child.
Biological
child.
The only thing that he will not inherit.
Otherwise,
he's for you, for his mother, for his
sisters,
for
his both aunts from both sides.
Now
when
the his,
the mother who breastfed him and the father
because of the breastfeeding
are old, yes, he has to take care
of them.
K? He will take care of them
if he can
if he's able financially, for example,
or at least
to be kind to them, to look after
them,
and to visit them, etcetera.
So this is very important.
Also,
the the
breastfeeding,
which will
make this child, your child, if providing that
it is within the 2 years
old.
K?
That is
very important thing.
That is very important. Also,
there's an issue. You might hear it. What
if he's
old and was breastfed?
Which in the books of, they call
it
to best one, someone who's very
He's grown up. He's not a child. Well,
that will make him your,
your son.
Well, this issue is controversial
issue.
It happened during the time of the
with Salem.
Salem was young, small,
grown up
in the household of.
Now he's a man,
and
started feeling jealous.
So his wife came to the prophet
and said, Salem now is a man,
and they can feel that my husband
is not feeling okay.
So the prophet
he told the wife of Hudayfah,
okay, to breastfeed Salem,
though he was old.
Man now, grown up. Adult.
So he told her, breastfeed him, and he
will become your child,
and she did.
Some people, they think that
I don't know how they think.
Okay?
What's this?
Did you open her breast,
and he was suckling?
They think that
that way.
Who told you it is a necessity to
be like that?
K?
You could have
milked the the milk, remove the milk, dip
it in glass to him. Finish.
Finish. Why are you just thinking,
in that mode, in that way?
And when you know this, what happened, the
prophet
sanctioned this, approved of it.
And this is the mother of Aisha. Aisha,
our mother.
Of course, the rest of the wives of
the prophet
did not agree with Aisha,
and many of the ulama
and
the presumed this as something special case only
for
the, asylum.
That's it.
So it was special case.
This the the majority of the scholars,
they are saying that someone expounds, that will
not make him
your child. There's a special case on that.
That's it.
Because
all the wives of the prophet
were against it, but Aisha
saying that
it is valid, it is permissible.
Aisha is And
some scholars, they say no. It is not
special case.
But this can be resorted to
if there is real
dire need, like the need of the similar
circumstance, like the circumstance of
Salim al Oqedaifa.
So if you come across this, you should
know
that this is a controversial issue,
and you should not
talk evil about the scholars
who called the opinion of Aisha.
K?
Though as I
said,
the,
majority
of the saying this is this was a
special case,
and it was only for,
Salim.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Can I move on to the next question?
Yes. The next question, please.
Is it permissible to bury the dead with
any other item other than Post the question,
please.
Send the question.
I think the sister will send it to
you.
Have you received the question?
Okay. Go ahead. Is it permissible what? Okay.
Is it permissible to bury the dead with
any other item other than the?
No. We don't. What do you mean other
item? Like what?
So one of the questions is in some
rituals,
they bury a book that has some or
some parts of the Quran with the dead.
Is this permissible? No. We are not like
other,
people of other beliefs.
No. In the shroud,
only the shroud, the.
That's it.
K?
So this is the kafan, the shroud.
For the man,
these,
3 pieces,
and for the woman,
5 pieces.
One is the for the head, covering the
hair,
and the other just cover like, the way
the the waist, like, is all.
Five pieces for a woman and 3 pieces
for the man.
That's it. What will go with you into
the plane.
Nothing else.
If people are
sending
other putting other things, this is.
My dear brothers and sisters,
your Islam,
our Islam,
our deen
is just
what Allah said, what the prophet said.
Chapter is
closed.
Anyone says,
this is okay. We have to ask him.
Produce your evidence,
your proof of you are telling the truth.
The prophet,
he buried many
of his companions
and his family,
his daughter.
He didn't add he didn't bury anything else.
So why are you doing something
that your
prophet didn't do?
Why?
Who told you that this is something
recommended? Who told you this?
Maulana.
Ask your Maulana. Ask your Sheikh.
Where did you get this from?
This is the Quran. This is this in
where is it mentioned?
No. No. It is okay. Who said it
is okay? Who are you? Again.
Follow what is
revealed, not what others are saying.
Not what others are saying.
Is this in the revealed?
Is this in the Quran? Is it in
the Sunnah? No.
Sorry,
We'll not listen to you, and you have
to repent.
And you show you should just stop misleading
the people.
So it's not permissible, and it is haram,
and it is bitter.
The next question, are you allowed?
That was the next question.
Are you allowed to bury the dead with
the Quran? You have already addressed this
Okay. Answer.
I don't know. This is not part of
the
the rituals of the burial rituals. No.
And
when it comes to the,
and the deen innovations,
so many, so many.
There you find among the
innovations regarding the burial,
some in some Muslim countries, they make adhan.
Adhan in the grave. Someone will go down
in the grave and make adhan.
And then there is something they call it
Someone will
come to the go down and tell the
deceased,
oh, son of so and so.
And he would mention his mother's name, Yebnefulana.
Because they are saying on the day of
resurrection, people will be called by the names
of their mothers, which is not true.
They will be called by the names of
their fathers.
Then he will start dictating to him, oh,
son of so and so,
there are 2 angels are going to come
to you,
and they are going to ask you,
what does your religion say? My religion is
of Islam.
Prophet is Muhammad.
So he's dictating to the deceased
what he should tell the angels.
As if this is going to help. This
will not going to help,
and the deceased doesn't hear you.
You cannot make the people on the grave
to hear you or to be able to
hear you.
So
it is an innovation.
It is bitter.
The
prophet he buried his companions.
He didn't make anything of that.
Or reading Yaseen
in the graveyard.
They will read Yaseen or reading the Koran,
etcetera.
Or writing ayaat on the epitaph, on that
stone in the tomb,
or raising the grave or making
it out of marble.
All these are all these are innovations.
May Allah guide all the Muslims, army.
Next question,
Is there time to, provide a quick talk
on
the burial rituals, or will it take too
long?
Reading the Quran and,
while bearing the body?
No. Just,
the rituals of the burial.
So all the of
the ritual.
There's a problem with the, the question. The
problem with the sound,
Sorry.
I don't know if it's,
with me or
from your side or from my side. I
don't know.
Please, could you go through the list of
the form
of the burial rituals?
And you provide a brief talk on the
topic of burial rituals.
Okay.
This is another topic. Anyway,
the sunnah
as follow.
When a person is dying,
he's dying,
they should be around him,
righteous people, good people, people of
knowledge
around him,
and
to remind him to have her son run
to think good about Allah,
and they should only
remind him of Allah's because
now we need because, you know, my dear
brothers and sisters,
in this life,
how we lead our life?
We live between
2 state
in 2 phases or 2 stages
or 2 states,
state of fear and state of home.
Hope and fear. Hope and fear.
The said, just you are like a bird
flying.
One wing is the hope. The other wing
is the fear.
Sometimes you raise the wing of fear.
Sometimes you raise the wing of hope,
and you balance your flight.
I raise the wing of fear if I
feel that I start becoming lazy,
treating my
lightly,
missing my prayers.
So here, I have to raise the wing
of fear,
indeed, about the ayat, about the,
about the grave, about the punishment.
So that fear should now
drive me to
behave myself and to repent
and
go back
to the right track.
So should I keep that wing high,
that wing of fear? No.
The moment I start to feel,
I'm going to despair
of Allah's
and reach the
the state or the status and the level
of
despair. I have to lower it. Lower the
wing of fear, I raise the wing of
hope that Allah is kind,
merciful.
He forgives he forgave the prostitute
by he who gave the
water to the thirsty dog. He forgave the
one who killed 100.
So this will
give me hope,
and that's how I
balance my flight
towards the.
Hope and fear. Hope and fear.
But when I am dying,
I only raise the wing
of hope.
1.
So that's why the people around you should
only
talk about
thinking
good
of Allah
so that you love to meet Allah
And
if
those around you that's why it could be
people of knowledge
because the signs of death can be visible.
So they tell you if he if he's
saying some people
find their tongues
busy,
and they die like that.
But if he is not saying it,
and we feel that he's going to breathe
his wrath at any moment,
so we tell him.
We tell
him. That's what the prophet
said.
Dictate
to your dying people.
And this way, the
those who
go into the grave
and say, given,
they use this hadith.
But they said the prophet said, dictate
all
because they don't know
that here,
the person, when he is in that level,
he's already dead.
So
Motakim, not the ones who are dead, not
the dying, the one who are dying.
That's why. Because we want him to say
it, and then will be the last word.
He uttered
because the prophet said,
Whoever his last word was,
he will enter Jannah.
So that's why we tell him, say,
he's dying.
So he is able at that moment to
say it. So if he said,
we keep quiet.
If he,
after he said,
started saying any other thing, also we repeat
and ask him to say
because we want
to be the last thing
he articulated,
he said, before he breathed his last.
The moment he breathed his last,
those who have seen people dying,
you'll see the
the eyes, they go up like that
because the sight follow the soul. So the
soul comes and goes up.
So the prophet said, the side follows the
sole.
So we pull down the ledge eyelids.
And then we satan
the hands
and the leg, and
we cover the body, and we start now
making the preparations
of the burial.
Okay.
Clouds
and the
good materials, good stuff that we add,
okay, to the shroud, the perfume,
and the must and
and then the
the.
This is sunnah also. It is a type
the the leaves of
the,
tree, the leaves,
they
dry them, then they grind them,
becomes powder.
Then you mix it with water,
becomes just like the shampoo,
and we wash the body with it. If
you don't have that, then
shambles and soaps will do.
Now
the,
the person who's going to give the burial
wash
could be someone who is experienced
and preferably
those who are close to him. For example,
his children.
Okay.
Or even his wife.
His wife can give him the burial wash.
It is it is permissible.
And if it's good, no. And if it's
good, they don't say this.
But the
majority
of the scholars, they say, yes. A woman
can give burial was to her husband.
Because
the
prophet, one day, he came and he found
Aisha
having headache, and she was saying, oh, my
head, I have a head severe headache.
Said, I have headache too.
Then to console her and to soothe her,
he told her, oh, Aisha,
what do you think? If you die before
me,
I will wash you and bury you.
Aisha felt jealous.
Said, and then you will go to your
wives,
woman.
So this hadith,
he said, I will wash you and
bury you.
So
the
hadith
is explicit evidence that a man can wash
his wife and vice versa.
And Fatima
of
the, k,
the daughter of the and
the mother of Al Hassan under Hussain, the
wife of.
Is the one who gave her, who washed
her,
k, mentioned in the narration,
hadith.
So it is permissible
for a man to give the burial wash
to his wife and the wife to give
her burial wash to her husband,
apart from the school of the because
the the argument of the Hanafi schools
is rational, logical.
So they are saying,
what made a man
to see the body of his wife
is the marriage contract,
the wedlock.
Because of that,
it is halal for him to see her
body.
But now she is dead, so that married
contract is canceled.
So he's not allowed to see her body.
So that is the argument.
But here we have
evidence,
hadith, from the prophet.
So we don't use the qiyas and the
and the presence of a text.
So the we that opinion is weak. No
doubt.
Now
when you are giving the burial wash,
you don't see
the private part of the disease.
You don't see it because you are putting
the cover, and you are wearing gloves, and
you are washing without seeing,
and you give will do to the disease.
And
you breath gently
the tummy.
So because now a person is dead,
the lactam will be open. The * is
open, so the waste will come out from
the stomach.
So gently,
while you are washing,
you are blessing the tummy
gently, and the waste will come out.
And when everything stops
and you give the wudu,
and then
you wash the hair, and you wash the
the body,
and then you rinse the body,
then you bring the
which is
this,
scent,
and you sprinkle them on the
the shrouds,
and then the body will be rolled
in by the shrouds.
Okay? For a woman, the her hair will
be
braided.
Okay. And they say 5 pieces,
and then the same thing will be. And
now when the body is
crowded,
ready for the burial,
the body should be
taken
for the salah.
And the imam will stand
if he's a woman or if he's a
man
if
he's a man or a woman, he
will stand
next to the head or next to the,
the
the chest.
If there are more than 1, we will
put,
let's say, a man
and a woman. We will put the man
first then
the woman.
So then the,
which is known to many of you,
then the body will be taken for the
burial.
K.
Now when we are carrying the body,
everyone is quiet.
Not as you hear some country,
But this is.
You have to be quiet.
You have to reflect that one day, you
will be the one
who's carried.
And when we
reach the grave,
we lower the body into the grave.
And if it is a woman,
if the deceased is a woman,
the one who's going to go into the
grave should not have slept
or had sexual *
the night before.
He should not. But the prophet,
he was buried one of his daughters,
okay, because he had
intimacy.
So he asked the, anyone who didn't sleep
with his wife,
anyone who didn't have intimacy
last night
should go down.
K.
And then we
put the body into the grave,
facing the,
and we say.
Then we seal the grave
to seal the grave,
and
then
we put the rest of the earth back,
and we don't raise the grave
just like this.
And that's it.
And we make dua. We wait, making dua
for the disease, asking the to
enable him to answer the and
to
shower his mercy upon his soul,
and then we leave.
So this is in a nutshell.
If anyone wants details,
I recommend
the book of Sheikh Nasruddin al Bani,
the burial rituals.
Is.
So, okay, the
rituals of the burial and the innovations associated
with that. It is in Arabic. I don't
know if they translated it into English or
not.
I think it is translated, I think, on
I think, maybe,
I think so. So,
search for these two books,
and you would know this this issue, this
matter
in details.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Yes.
May I move on to the next question?
Yes.
I have relatives who mock the hijab
and visit the.
Should I say salaam to them or respond
to theirs?
And are they Muslims or are they Mushriks?
I'm gonna have to
put on my
I cannot see the question. Did you send
it?
One moment.
Have you received it now?
Okay. Go. I'll read the question now.
I have relatives who mock the hijab and
visit darghaz.
Should I give them salaam or respond to
theirs? Are they Muslims or are they Mushriks?
And should I explain to them the dangers
of the shirk, bida, or just leave them?
Okay. So I have relatives who mock hijab
and
visit the.
This is, I think, Hindi word.
That's our content. They use it for the
tomb, going to the tomb, to the tomb
of
saints. I don't sit and chat with them.
Should I give them salaam or respond to
theirs? Are they Muslims?
The answer they are Muslims,
but they are ignorant. You have to keep
in mind now.
What they are doing is shift, no doubt,
to ask the,
the dead. They go and sit to the
and ask the and
this
tomb,
the the saint in that tomb
or the of a sacrifice. The the action,
the their amal is.
But are they as
individuals
by default
that they left Islam?
The answer we cannot say that they left
Islam
because many of them are ignorant,
brainwashed,
misled.
They don't know.
Their scholars told them it's okay.
The learned men told
them it's okay.
Only the Wahabis are saying it is. It
is not.
So they are Muslim. We cannot you see,
you have to keep in mind,
you cannot take a Muslim out of the
fold of Islam
just like that
even if he commits
actions and acts
that they are kufo.
We have to verify
that he knows what he's doing
is shirk.
If
he believes that what he's doing has been
told that it's not shirk,
then how can you say he's he left
Islam?
He cannot
because of the ignorance, because of the Jahal.
And Jahal is an excuse.
This is the
the strongest opinion. It is
the Jahal, ignorance.
Allah said,
We were not going to punish anyone without
sending them a warner
warner
so that they know
that, the warner
came to them that what they are doing
is.
Yes.
The action is covered. The action is shared.
No doubt.
Sheikh Akbar.
Major shift. But how about the individual?
A person might commit you something shift. That
will not make him by default.
Or he said something covered, that will not
make him by default
a kafir.
You have to keep this in mind.
When
said
to Musa,
Just the moment they came from the sea,
Allah delivered them, saved them from the pharaoh.
They passed by people worshiping idols.
They requested
from Musa alaihi salam,
Come out of home. Make for us a
god like their god.
Did Allah
question. Did Allah
consider them disbelievers?
Did Musa alaihi salaam treated them
treat them as disbelievers?
Because they were ignorant.
And how are you,
Surat Al Naida,
the disciples of Isa alaihis salam.
They asked Isa alaihis salam.
They were endowed
about Allah's power and ability.
To doubt Allah's capacity, ability, power
to doubt that he's he cannot do this.
So they ask is Alisa
Oh,
Jesus. Can your love, your Lord,
send down for us a table from heaven?
Can he
They were doubting Allah's ability.
That's a.
Did Isa, alaihis salam treat them as disbelievers
consider them disbelievers? No. Did Allah consider them
disbelievers? No. Because they were.
As a matter of fact, Allah sent down
the table for them, and they had a
meal.
The prophet
who was traveling with his companion,
they passed by the Mushriks,
and the Mushriks were hanging their swords,
weapons on the tree,
that Anwar, a tree, seeking blessing.
Some of the Sahaba, who those who just
became Muslims, newly reverted.
When they found another tree, they said, oh,
this is a tree.
Let us seek blessing and put our sword
in it like their tree.
Make for us the a tree like the
tree. Make and
what? Come along that.
What the prophet
said? What did he say?
He said,
Indeed, you have said
exactly what
said to Moses.
Appoint for us a god like their gods.
So you can see here, the prophet
said
that your statement
is exactly like
the statement of Bani Israel.
The statement Bani Israel uttered
and made
is
God, small g, like their gods.
This was
kufal. So the two statement the prophet said
to the Sahaba,
you uttered kufal as they uttered kufal. But
the question is, did the prophet
treat them as kafirs,
and
did he tell them you have
become a state, you left Islam? No.
He didn't
say anything,
but he corrected them.
Another hadith,
a man
was also ignorant.
So he told his children,
he wrote in his will,
when I die,
remake my body, burn my body,
which is haram, of course.
Then,
just maybe yesterday,
a brother sent me a clip
that
the
the,
yeah, it is the
the grasshopper.
K. This insect
fly.
The male died.
The male died.
So this insect,
this fly
went and made a grave over the grave,
dug a grave for the her husband,
and then carried. You can see it.
It's so touchy.
He carried the body
and flew with the body
and put it into
that hole
and covered it, buried it.
Insets, they are doing these these things.
And human beings, they cremate the bodies.
Amazing. Amazing.
So
so here,
he told his children,
cremate my body, burn my body,
and then collect the ashes
and keep them and wait
for windy day. There is wind blowing,
sprinkle
and spread
the ashes
on the sea and on
the land.
And if god if Allah
was able to bring me back,
he would have,
and he will punish me severely.
So he was in doubt that Allah
because now he is ashes,
it's difficult for Allah to bring him
into again
into life.
Doubting Allah's ability to resurrect him,
And doubting Allah's ability to resurrect
you,
if you doubt that, it's a.
Bless for me.
But he was ignorant.
So Allah
said to the party, be
together.
Come together. Be, and he was.
And Allah questioned him,
and the hadith is authentic. Questioned him.
Why did you do that?
He said,
The reason I did that,
because I am afraid of you, and you
know that, And Allah forgave him.
So my dear brothers and sisters, learn learn
your and
leave the issues of Takfir,
calling people that they are Kavers, disbelievers, leftist
one. This is not your business.
This is only the and
the will.
That is their
job to to declare and give the verdict
that this person left Islam.
What we should do,
we should teach the people the right thing,
educate them because
the majority of the Muslims,
they are in the dark. The majority of
them are ignorant, so they need to be
educated.
K. So I hope this is clear.
K. So and this is
very dangerous.
And some,
the youth in particular,
they started practicing the or
they read 1 few books.
So now they're saying, oh, this is. This
is.
So they are Catholics.
It's not like that.
Learn your and
leave these issues,
which are above your heads
for the people who are qualified.
What you should do
is to roll up your sleeves
and give them and
cry to Allah
and pray to Allah to guide them.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Next, please.
Is it permissible to give salaam to the
Muslim woman who wears hijab with hair showing?
Is she a Fazik?
One minute.
Because I'm
trying to see the question.
Okay. Question says,
mom still doesn't cover,
shakes hands with non men
on read. Is that the question?
There's one before that.
Before that.
Is it permissible to give salaam to Muslim
woman who wears hijab with hair showing? Is
she
K. Is it to give salaam to a
Muslim woman who wears hijab with hair showing?
Is she
a fashid? Of course, you give the salam,
and,
don't say she is fashid now.
K? He is saying wearing hijab
traditional, because you see it in if you
go to some countries,
you see
the fringes. You see a few hairs here,
ignorance. That's what I'm saying.
People are ignorant.
They need to be educated.
She
she is she's a Muslim,
and maybe she is advanced in age. Maybe
she's old,
and few hairs are showing. She's just like
your grandmother.
So
and who said that you cannot give salam
to the father
For the sake of argument.
In Islam,
I pass by alcoholic.
1 who drinks alcohol.
Is he
Muslim? He's Muslim.
Can I say you, Tim?
Can I say salaam alaikum? The answer is
yes.
He gives salaam to every Muslim.
So who said if he's fascist, he don't
give salan?
Who said that? It's Haram.
As long as he's a Muslim, this is
his life.
Yes.
You might read or come across something which
is the that is
how to discipline the people,
as a disciplinary
disciplinary
measure,
boycotting,
abandoning, that's different.
Depends on the situation.
But here,
are you passed by a Muslim?
K?
Can I give salam? That's a yes. I
give salam
because
he's
a
Muslim.
He's
not
a,
and this is the right
of a Muslim,
upon a Muslim, that when you meet your
Muslim,
you give the salaam, the tahiyyah.
I hope this is clear.
The next question.
Mom still doesn't cover, shakes hands with non
on.
I told her that it is not allowed.
Is she Farsik?
How to deal with her as Salaf did?
First of all, this my dear,
remove this word from your dictionary, Farsik.
Remove it, and don't repeat it.
K?
Is she wrong? Yes. She's wrong.
Is this a sin? Yes. It is a
sin.
What should we do? Educate her.
Keep reminding her
that shaking hands with men who are not
is haram.
Because sometimes in some countries, it is
it is a tradition,
custom, the the habit,
taking hands.
Yeah. It is there, some Muslim countries.
Just this reminded me of one of our
colleagues,
and it is a long time ago, more
than
30 years.
I was giving a
small
reminder in the machine
about shaking hands.
So he said, listen.
When I
he is from another country. He's working here.
So during the his vacation, he went to
see his his family.
So their neighbor, old woman,
she
he grew up in the neighborhood, and she
saw him when he was in his nappies.
K?
He knew him.
So she came
to say,
okay.
Welcome back home. He's happy that he is
coming back,
and she wanted to shake hands. He said,
auntie, I I don't shake hands with women.
He said, what?
He said, she pulled me,
hugged me.
Okay? And she said, I am like I
am your mother. I know you.
I carried you.
What are you saying? I cannot shake hand
with you.
See?
It's a
big.
So that's why you have to take it
easy with the people,
educate them,
and
things will take time, my dear brothers and
sisters. It will take time.
Be easy with your families.
Be easy with your relatives,
and just keep reminding them
and be good example and keep praying for
them. May Allah guide all the Muslims. I
mean, next question,
father doesn't eat beef because he'd
his father forbade them from eating beef. Sometimes
my father tries to justify it by not
eating,
justify it by via science. Is he a
mushrik?
Okay.
Again,
avoid all these things,
Musurek,
Okay?
So
because
the shirk
is a person who is a polytheist.
He's a person who
offers
acts of worship to other than Allah
That
is. Or if he says something,
which is
halal, haram,
that is also Sheikh Ankoofa.
But this is we are talking about the
problem with you, my dear brothers and sisters,
you don't differentiate
that between
what we call alhukmulam
or alhukmulhas.
The ruling in general,
ex person. What is the ruling on someone
who
says beef is haram? This is shukufur
because it is halal, and you are making
it haram.
X person.
Well, my father is saying that. No. We
cannot say your father is scarred. Why?
Because we have to find out. Does he
know
what he's talking about?
Is he confused? Is he brainwashed?
Someone told him something.
So that's why
when it comes to the individual,
you cannot
issue
the hukuman. That's why I did live for
the
and the
because they will sit with the person
and
see
maybe he has doubt,
misconceptions, and all these doubts, they have to
be
addressed and misconceptions
to be cleared.
And after all doubts are removed, misconceptions
are cleared. If he or she insists,
then
they're at liberty to issue
the the ruling and the huckerman, the verdict
of apostasy.
Before that,
no.
K? So now if someone
says,
beef
is halal,
Tell them, no. No. Don't say that.
Halal meat is haram. Why you're saying it
is haram?
Well, I don't like beef. That is your
choice,
but don't say it is haram and stop
others from eating it. You don't like it?
Fine.
But you have to believe it is halal.
You have to believe it is halal. Don't
make something, Allah made it halal haram.
Because if you make something, Allah made it
halal haram,
then you you are giving your right yourself
the right
to legislate, to make law,
to make something
legal when what it was illegal, or something
illegal, you make it legal.
That is jerk.
But if you don't like eating beef,
that's your choice.
See? No one will force you and say,
if you don't eat beef, you are sinful.
You are committing haram
because this
is municipal.
To eat chicken, to eat beef, to eat
mutton, whatever. Fish.
And people, they have different,
choices
and different
feelings.
The the
one day, there was,
this type of
reptile is called
a
was roasted
and was there,
served to him.
When he was about to touch it, he
asked, what is this? They said, this is
a
that was brought from
Najid.
He left it. He didn't touch it.
Happened to be there.
Immediately,
he asked, oh, prophet, is it Haram?
Is it Haram?
Said no. It's not Haram, but I don't
like it. Khalid said, I pulled it, the
blade,
and started 18:8 in front of the prophet,
and he was watching me.
The prophet didn't like it. Khaled
loved it,
and he acted in front of him.
So if you don't like me, that is
your problem.
No
issue. But don't say to others it is
haram and you forbid them, and then the
shaitan come to you and say, you know,
then I you try to
to justify
that you should not eat beef.
Okay?
Because there's worm inside.
Okay? And
so this is going to cause this to
you or this
justifications.
K? When it is heated at certain temperature,
finish.
Yes. The prophet
he did not
encourage us to eat
the beef
all the time. Yes.
He recommended the milk of the cows to
take, but not the the meat,
okay, on regular basis.
I hope this is clear to the question.
K? So it's not a matter of, here,
you start to saying and all that stuff.
Don't use this language.
Last question?
Yes.
Our president of Uganda has signed an anti,
gay law or anti homosexuality
law, and the main opposition leader believes it
is everyone's right.
Is it advisable to elect such an individual?
1 minute. 1 minute. 1 minute. Let me
read the question.
This is the last question we'll address.
Have you received the question? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Read it. Okay.
Our president of Uganda, Museven,
has signed the anti
gay law, and our main opposition leader believes
it is everyone's right.
Is it advisable to elect such an individual
because the incumbent president has stayed in power
for so long?
No. But
the,
the if now it became
a law in the country, and the bill
passed and
enacted, and now it is a law of
Spanish.
K? So you should not go against it
because this is
something,
from the Islamic perspective.
It is aligned with the with the the
Islamic teachings.
It is aligned with the with the what
the Bible says. It's aligned with
the the scriptures,
whether it is in the Old Testament or
the New Testament. So as Muslims, as Christians,
as Jews,
k, no one will object.
No one should object.
And now to say that
this,
individual
wants to go for politician, he wants to
go for election,
And you say, okay. It,
this is
everyone's right. This is the dangerous.
If any Muslim
says that these
perverted people,
that this is their life. It is haram
for them to block Islam.
I'm afraid this will take him out of
the fold of Islam. This can lead to
apostasy,
but many of those politicians
are idiots,
ignorant. They don't know what is coming off
their heads.
That's why they need to be educated.
Who gives them such rights?
And now he's trying to convince
the those who
are going to elect him
to vote for him
and to elect him. No. You should not
elect someone
who's fighting the last dean,
someone who is an advocate
for abomination,
someone who is an advocate
for spreading vices
and perversion.
We should not.
We should be banned. We should be
damn.
Never elected.
Never elected.
Law in the country
enacted,
and
it is in line
with the
teachings
in the scriptures,
then you
resist it and oppose it?
I
hope this is clear to the questioner.
Yes.
I think we'll, finish with that.
Chef, if you would like to end the
lesson, please.
May
Allah bless you, protect you,
protect your family,
elevate your status in this world and may
Allah
Allah keep us to remain steadfast on this
beautiful deen, al Islam, until we plead our
last and find our love pleased with all
of us. I mean, may Allah bless us
with the beneficial knowledge of righteous deeds. May
Allah forgive us all false and mistakes and
ignorance.
And may Allah bless you and reward you
immensely, my dear brothers and sisters, for your
patience and attendance till we meet
In the coming session, I leave you
in Awas company
and protection.
