AI: Transcript ©
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam.
Today
is our weekly class.
The the
issues of
by the imam,
and we get that
Sheikh Mohammed.
So this beautiful book
needs to be understood,
to be studied,
and then to be shared with others.
And we have reached the Mas'allah
Al Khamisah,
the issue number 45,
where the people of Jahilia,
one of the greatest the greatest,
principles which they
adhere to,
that they
are proud
of the number
or deceived
by following the majority.
And they conclude from that since they are
outnumbering
their opponents,
the believers,
they must be on the right path. They
must be correct.
So they justify to themselves
the reason that
we are right because they are minority.
And
people who accept
this new message of the prophet or messenger
are very few,
so they cannot be correct.
That we covered. I'm just now the
captivating,
the recapping.
So Allah
refuted such
flimsy argument, weak argument,
and told us that
this is always the the case of the
opponents
of the call of the truth.
So art history,
always the elite,
the upper class, the decision makers,
they
will be always the ones to propose the
message,
the divine message
of this particular prophet or messenger.
Always always the mullah. Always the
the
those who are well off, those who are
rich,
they are the ones who,
fight and resist and oppose the
the message of,
all prophets.
So Allah has a return on the future
that
in many verses in the Quran.
And so that Saba, when they said,
Whenever we send them a warner to
a society, to a community,
it's elite.
The upper class
would say,
which rule? They reject what you have been
sent to it.
Why
why do you reject?
Because
there is a threat.
We're going to lose the prestige.
We're going to lose this
lofty
position
we occupy in
in the society.
K? We are,
almost
adored
or worshiped
by the
poor fellows, by the downtrodden,
by the the
destitute. And now you want
us to be equal with them, so we
will not accept that.
And then they said,
This is
another argument.
They said they added,
we are far superior to the believers in
wealth and children,
and we'll never be punished. See?
So they concluded,
since we are well off, we are the
rich,
and we have more children than anyone else.
So this means this is a
a sign of
pleasure, of God's pleasure,
that he is happy with us, and that's
why he is
bestowing
in us his blessings
and blessing us with wealth and children.
Therefore, we are not going to be punished
because Allah loves us.
So this is
the argument of the people of Jahiliya.
Who gives the dictates and gives them such
ideas? Of course.
You know,
the cursed one,
Satan,
who wants to fool them.
So he's pulling their legs
so that they will follow him, and they
will end up with him
to
that
fire.
So
these two verses in Surat Saba, 34 to
35,
are relevant
to the
issue, the 5th issue.
And the relevance that
is that the the believers thought
this is the
the relevance of the these two because you
have to understand
that Imam Rahimahullah,
he knows how
to
choose
the suitable verses related
to
what he is,
addressing or what he is
defending.
So these two verses, they are so relevant
because the disbelievers, they thought
Allah is pleased with them.
Why? How did they deduce that? How did
they know that?
Because they outnumber the believers, because they are
more than the believers.
So this is a sign that Allah is
pleased with them.
And if Allah has placed with them, then
they must be upon the truth.
Therefore,
minority cannot be upon the truth.
Only we
are upon the truth.
So that it that was the argument.
Allah
continued
after he mentioned
the argument. Allah said,
is 116.
This is always covered. I'm just reminding you
because I don't know whether you you revise
your notes or do you take notes. I
don't know.
Allah says,
116.
Our prophet, if you were to obey most
of those on earth,
they would lead you away from Allah's way.
They follow nothing but
one assumptions,
guessing,
conjecture,
and do
nothing
but lie.
So here, Allah
says make he is
clearly making it
making it clear
to everyone.
So he Allah is teaching us that you
should not be
impressed
by the number.
Many people, the number is everything.
So the will
be very active and enthusiastic
and zealous
if his followers are more.
So the
the gauge for not getting his success is
the number
The number.
The more followers, that means I am in
the right track. That's not true.
It has 1,000,000,
and you are misguided.
So the number
shouldn't
be
the
indicator for the success.
Otherwise,
how about the prophets whom Allah sent?
And the prophet saw them.
Prophet
with 1, a prophet with 2, a prophet
with none.
How about that prophet who was sent and
no one followed him?
Did he fail in his message?
0 number,
no followers,
answer no. Absolutely.
He succeeded.
He delivered the message
because his task is fully to deliver the
message.
Opening people's hearts, that's not on his hand.
So we should not be impressed
by the followers
of today's
jargon
on the net,
the
fans should not be
deluded by that.
K?
Or
by the people who attend your your talk.
K?
Oh, the place was packed.
That's not an indication.
K?
Can be,
but not always.
Many people, they come just so they feel,
can you let us go there and
have good time and have a relief? Because
this guy,
he is going to say things that
we cannot say, so
we'll be vent it. That's it.
So they are
k.
Like the balloon.
So they need someone to
to re relieve the attention. That's why they
attend.
And this is true. I'm telling you.
K? Especially
Friday
sermon.
If a speaker
is known that he is
always
talking about,
sensitive issues, talking about,
issues that are above the heads of the
congregation.
Things that they can do nothing about them.
And he is turning
a blind eye to the real problems
the congregation
they have.
So you find that message packed.
K? At the end of the of the
sermon, you want to know
what did I learn?
Nothing.
Just he is
playing with your
emotions.
And this very, very speaker,
examples
many examples there.
K. One day,
he's taken,
stopped
from preaching.
Oh, that number,
an audience,
they will say he deserved it.
Who told him to,
okay, talk about these issues?
So my dear brothers and sisters, especially the
Dua,
be smart, be intelligent.
The Ummah needs
reformation,
needs
going back to the basics and build them,
reform them,
build their iman,
will take them the teach them the fundamentals
of the deen
and go up and build up that.
So the number should not deceive you.
So Allah
said, here and clearly, when
It should not be
Cheated or deceived by the number.
Yeah. What you have to focus on, I'm
talking as a caller, as a guy,
is to teach the people the truth
about
their even
if they are few.
So whether
the
the attendees
filling the place
or one,
it should not affect your performance
and your
throughput,
what you give.
1
and 100,000
should be the same.
And this means that we need to work
on our
our sincerity.
He said something
like this. He said that
you will not
reach
the
the or
the
which means
you will not issue the level of the
and
the pious, the righteous.
And this and until
you consider
the one who
criticizes
you and the one who praises you the
same.
Someone praises you
doesn't affect your heart.
Someone criticizes
you,
attacks you
doesn't
affect you.
Because what matters to you, not what the
people say,
whether they say good things about you or
bad things,
that doesn't matter.
What matters,
what Allah
wants.
Allah's pleasure. That's it.
Always think of that only.
Don't let the number
mislead you.
So if you follow the majority,
most of the people on earth,
they will
take you away. They will mislead you. They
will take you straight from Allah's way.
Why? Because they follow the.
They don't follow the truth. They just follow
assumption. They follow their whims. They follow their
desire,
and
they lie.
That we covered.
We proceed today.
Allah said,
see the the Quran
response, how Allah
responded
to the claims,
Those who are
impressed
by their number and deceived by their not
the number. The since they are majority,
there must be
under 2. They must
be
under. So Allah says this on
regarding
our prophet,
They made for him
they
made for him whatever he desired
of sanctuaries,
statues,
bases
as large as reservoirs,
and cooking pots fixed into the ground.
We all did work gratefully,
all family of David.
Only a few of my servants are truly
grateful.
Pose and reflect.
Soleiman
asked Allah to grant him kingdom
that will not be given to anyone else.
Dominion,
kingdom,
and the Lord granted him what he wanted.
He made the to work for him,
and they were under always under his sway.
They work in front of him,
and they
could not disobey him.
Even when he died,
he was
supervising them.
So he was leaning against his
stumps, the his staff,
the cane,
and he died standing.
And the didn't know that he died because
the they don't know the unseen.
They don't know the unseen.
So they were working hard, continuing, doing, working,
thinking that he is watching them.
So the they
don't know the.
Even those who deal with the jinn, yes,
the jinn, what they do,
they have
the ability to mobilize, to move
fast.
They can bring you things
from wherever you want,
But
this service,
they would not
offer you
until
you
leave Al Islam.
K?
So al Islam,
our land made them under his control.
But anybody else,
they will not help you until you leave
the deen, Al Islam.
Then they will
do whatever
you want. And many of those,
magicians,
they deal with the jinn.
And many of the, they deal with the
jinn.
And when you read
their stories
that
our Sheikh, he plays all the 5 prayers
in Mecca.
He doesn't play in the Masjid with the
the people.
They
take him.
Or every year, he goes to
the Hajj,
and people, they see him
in in in Arafat.
And on the * day, he's back
home.
So he didn't
stay the days of Mina or
days
of. No. No.
Yes.
Sheikh Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned,
because Sheikh Islam Ibn Taymiyyah,
he had
long study with the and experience with that.
So he said they
they pass, and they cross the without
haram,
and they don't stay and complete the
the rest of the rituals of the Hajj,
etcetera.
So here, the jinn, they carry that. And
the prophet
in the authentic hadith, they're quoted by
Imam Saeed ibn al Sur Rahim Abu Wa
in his Sunan. He said,
the
prophet
The meaning
and anyone who is interested
to know about the jinn, he should read
the the book by Sheikh.
In
the world of the jinn and the devils.
And I always recommend to read the entire
series on by him, and it is free
on
on the on the net.
So here in this beautiful hadith, the prophet
said
that there are 3 types of the jinn.
One type, they fly.
They fly.
The other type,
they take the forms or the shapes
of
dogs and snakes.
And the 3rd category or type,
they live with you in your homes, in
the toilets.
So the type that
flies, they are the ones who carry
the,
those service.
So they
wherever they want. Because they those who deal
with them, they
had an agreement and signed an agreement with
the shiabid, and they left Islam. They committed
kufr.
So now the shiabid, they helped them.
And if this
magician wanted to to repent,
normally,
they jinn, they kill him. As Imam Malik
said,
the sign of the sincere
repenter,
the one who repented sincerely
and who used to deal with the jinn.
We know the sign that we know is
that he will be killed by them.
They will kill him.
So so the jinn, they don't know the
unseen. They don't know the right.
The information they provide,
for example, they
this magician
or fortune teller
rejects and say things will happen, and they
do happen.
And people say, oh,
how did he know?
So they think that he is
something has supernatural
power.
They don't know that this guy deals with
the shayateen, with the jinn.
Because you have to keep in mind that
when Allah
something is going to happen,
volcano,
earthquake,
to happen in this place, in this earth,
in this area.
He talks about it. He mentions it.
Allah speaks in the upper assembly
that this what will happen?
The moment Allah speaks,
the malaika, the
inhabitants of heaven, they will be,
electrocuted
or,
lose consciousness.
Lose consciousness.
And the first one to
regain his consciousness
will be would be and, will be Jibreel
alayhis salaam,
and Allah
will inform him or would inform him what
he,
had decreed.
Then Jibreel alayhis salaam
will pass by the Malaika in every heaven
in the 7 firmaments,
and he would inform them
about what Allah
decreed.
So now the information is cascaded down,
passing down,
k, from Yibreel to the Malaika and the
7 heavens, those 2,
then the 6th heaven, etcetera.
Until this information
reaches the Malaika
in the first heaven.
Who is close to the first heaven?
The shi'atin, the prophet
said they climb on each other.
They form a chain
until they are very close
to the first heaven
where they will be eavesdropping
and listening to what the angels,
Malaika,
are saying.
So they hear this information,
but the was rejected,
the heavens,
against the Yves Drabers,
the by
the shooting of stars.
So now imagine
this long chain of the jin, 1 on
top of the other.
So the first one, he heard the information,
but now he is afraid because the shooting
star is
aiming at him. So he passes the information
quickly,
so part of it is missing, is dropped.
They didn't reach the one beneath him.
The sent the second one also did it,
but also now so the information
is
diminishing
and reducing
until
they reach
the one who is on the
the ground.
So only a fraction
of that information
reached.
So now this,
this one from the jinn, he will
give this piece of information
to this magician,
fortune tellers,
psychic,
diviner, whatever you want to call him.
And then he will mix with it as
the prophet
he will mix with it 99
lives.
He would say,
this what will happen. This what will happen.
This what will happen.
And 99 lies.
And then he would also mention
the truth that
to
the.
The prophet
said, they forget the people. They forget the
lies,
and they will remember only
that part, which is,
of course,
a fraction of the truth.
They would say, oh, do you remember
this guy say this
on this day. There will be earthquake.
You see?
And it happened.
And then you will forget
the 99
lies
that he made, and nothing of what he
promised
of to happen happened.
So the my dear brothers and sisters, they
don't know the unseen,
and they are so feeble
and so weak.
When you enter your home and you say,
and you seek a large protection from the,
they run away.
When you lock your door and say,
they cannot unlock the door.
If you have food and you have no
lid to cover the
the the
the plate or the pot
of the ball,
just put a straw
or
anything on it and say,
and they cannot come close to it.
So she had she are so weak.
So don't be fighting or intimidated
by the.
Maintain your will do
always in that car, say, before
you sleep, etcetera.
And you'll be protected and say, now.
So the man
passed, and they didn't know that he passed
away.
They continued working,
When they realized that he died,
when that small insect
started
to eat
the cane on this top,
and then it broke, and he fell down.
Then and then they realized.
Before that, they didn't realize.
So here, Allah
is telling us about the jinn.
So they made to him whatever
he desired of
this,
sanctuaries.
They they
decorate them, and they made them nice one.
And sachets.
So the
satchos in the law, Sharia al Sulaiman,
was permissible.
In Islam, it's not permissible,
because that law is obligated
obligated.
And remember, we
we
went through this, and
we we mentioned many times
that
the speech or karam
is 2 types
or 2 parts,
and
insha.
Do you recall something like that?
Iqbar and Insha.
The Iqbar
means informing.
Requesting you to do something.
The do's and the don'ts.
So the Iqbar,
the informing,
and the rich comes the,
the belief.
Falls under Iqbar
because
it's information
passed to you.
There's heaven.
There's
paradise. There's hellfire. There are angels.
There
are
the day of resurrection.
There's everything.
Information. Information
passed to you.
So
here
and
the
and all prophets,
they agree on the.
The
creed,
the doctrine,
the set of belief is the same
from Adam until Muhammad.
Peace and blessings
be upon all of them.
And this part,
which is the
will never be obligated
or canceled.
Never.
Which makes sense.
It makes sense.
Because you don't expect a prophet to come
and say,
there is
paradise,
then another one comes and says, there's no
paradise.
K?
That's contradiction.
That's why there's no cancellation
or there's no obligation.
That's
regarding the Ikhbar, the. So the, there's no
no obligation.
The obligation
of the
is for the
the insha,
the dos and the don'ts.
Do
and don't.
That is the insha. The dos and the
don'ts is the sharia
is the
sharia,
the law.
The law is about
do this. Don't do that. That's what the
the law is about, do's and don'ts.
Sharia.
Here, the
Sharia can be obligated.
So that's why the prophets, they have different
nose, different charaya,
but one.
So the obligation is only for the
sharia,
and that is
logical. Why?
Because
the Sharia laws
do's and don'ts.
Do's and don'ts.
And the do's and the don'ts are related
to the
to the people whom you address.
You address their problems.
So you set rules for that. This is
lawful. This is unlawful.
Do these things. Don't do these things.
But then the societies or communities,
they grow,
and the new
problems
emerge. New issues.
These new issues
were not addressed in that law,
which was given to that prophet because that
prophet passed away.
At his time,
the issues were resolved. But after him,
new issues, new problems. So another prophet will
come or another messenger will come with a
new law
that addresses
the new issues.
And that is why obligation happens.
Certain things maybe were permissible in the previous
law
for a divine wisdom of Allah.
There was a need for for a for
a while, then
the second messenger comes and say, these things,
there's no need for them to
to exist.
So they are canceled. They're obligated.
So you see the obligation
or the
the, like, upgrading
of the law,
that is the
obligation or the.
It's only for the Sharia,
but not in the.
Not in the
So
in Islam,
the Islamic Sharia,
because it is the final Sharia,
final law, our made it
so accommodating,
so flexible,
built within it many mechanisms,
so it's not that
rigid.
It accommodates any new issues and provides
solutions and answers.
K?
So,
you will not find in Islam.
A new problem, a new issue
emerges,
and the Muslim scholars,
they fail to produce solutions,
Islamically,
for these problems.
K?
New issues. You find and you will not
find these new issues
in the books of the scholars,
in the past because these problems, they were
not there.
About, for example,
test tube, babe,
surrogacy.
You know, surrogacy, that means,
a woman can rent
the womb of another woman to carry the
baby for her.
So she gives her own egg.
Okay? And that egg is fertilized with the
sperm of her husband, and then it will
be put in the uterus of another woman.
Of course, this is Haram in Islam.
This is Haram in Islam. So I can
see it's Haram.
But this is
it's the new issues. Test your bait.
Is it halal? Is it haram?
K.
Of course,
it will be
halal only under strict very strict supervision
If the mother is having a problem with
her fallopian tube,
it is blocked so the
ovum of the egg doesn't reach the the
uterus.
So in that case, the egg is taken,
virtualized
with the sperm of the husband
of the with the husband. If it is
virtualized
with the sperm of anybody else, it is.
That's why nowadays, there are banks
banks
of *,
and that's.
K?
A woman can go, and
they have the bio the
the database of all the information.
What type of child do you want?
So the Sharia with Islam addresses, all these
things.
Cloning, you know,
Islam addresses.
K?
Because Allah made the Islamic law so
powerful,
and it has
the ability to provide solutions.
So the obligation
happens only regarding Sharia,
not in the.
Why I said this? Because here,
Allah says,
So
they made for him these different,
maharib or sanctuaries
and tamathil
statues because that was permissible
in the law of Soleiman alaihis salaam.
It is prohibited
in the law
of Islam,
shiva Islamiyah.
Super happy
to have statues.
That's why the prophet
he destroyed the statues.
He destroyed them.
And he sent to the Sahaba to destroy
Khalid ibn Walid. He sent him to destroy
a famous idol and the
in Arabia,
And
when he demolished the
the,
the idol,
Then he was asked, did you kill Eliza?
Said, I didn't find. He said, no. No.
So he's looked and found
old lady, Shaikan,
male, female,
devil and killed the devil.
So someone says, oh, the Quran says it
is okay to have statues.
Yes. Quran said that, but this was in
the previous law,
and that law is canceled, obligated in Islam.
It was permissible in the Sharia
of Yusuf alaihi salam.
Part of the greeting
is to prostrate.
That was permissible.
That's why his brothers, they prostrated beforehand.
In Islam,
it is obligated.
It's Haram.
So this what the we're doing for our
master,
The plural of.
Actually, the jaffna
is normally
wooden
bowl,
big one, where people, they eat in it.
But this now,
this this wooden or this yafner
is so big,
just like a basin.
So big, so large,
like swimming pools. Because
Joab. Joab is the plural of Jabbia.
Very big pools.
K.
And
the
is the plural of
pot.
So these are
coking
coking pots,
to do.
They are fixed.
You don't move them.
They are just fixed,
and they cook in them.
They are so massive, so big.
There
was a a rich man in Mecca
before Islam.
Abdullah
Yadan
used
to feed the people.
So generous.
So he had
massive pot cooking
pots
with ladders
ladders. People, they have to go down
to school
in the ladder,
but that didn't benefit benefit him.
Our mother, Aisha, one day, she asked the
about
Abdul Jabbar.
He used to do all these things.
Did this did it benefit him? He said,
no.
He have not. No.
Because he never said, oh, Allah,
forgive me
forgive me
on the day of
reckoning,
or forgive my sins
on the day of reckoning.
So he was doing all these things only
for showing off, to be praised by his
people.
So so the imam
has these
massive
cooking pots
fixed into the cloud.
And then Noah said,
Oh, family of.
Means family of.
The means family of. Al Id Dawood, the
family of Dawood.
So
can mean family and can mean
followers.
Followers.
So
the family of
the Also,
means followers.
Followers.
Because Allah said
about and
his followers.
And now
So the people of,
k, the swallows,
they are exposed to the fire
in the morning and in the evening.
And in the day of resurrection,
they will be admitted to
the severest punishment,
the hellfire.
So the al can mean family, can means
can also mean followers
of a particular
person.
So
Allah
ordered
the family of Dawood
to be grateful to Allah,
to be thankful to Allah,
k,
to thank Allah,
to show the gratitude,
to show
the thankfulness.
Well, gratefully,
oh, family of
David, Dawood
saying, only a few of my servants
are truly grateful. Only a few.
So, again,
see,
only a few.
The majority
of mankind
are ungrateful to Allah.
May Allah make us from among this.
Make us grateful to Allah
for his
incessant
blessings, which he
constantly
showering and bestowing
on us.
See
the blessings of Allah in you.
Are you grateful to him?
Are you thankful?
Or you are from the majority who are
ungrateful?
Ask yourself.
So
the number
but out of the Quran, my dear brothers
and sisters, you find only
a few few Allah is raising the minority,
not the majority.
Minority.
Because the majority,
they follow their whims and desires, and they
follow
the cursed one.
And that's why
the on the day of resurrection,
Allah will
say to Adam,
oh, Adam,
bring out sort out
from your children those who are destined to
help.
Imagine
Adam is sit standing before all his children,
and now he has to sort them out
and
send to the hellfire those who are destined
for hellfire.
So from 800,
999 will go to the hellfire.
999
from each hundred. So only 1 each 101
will go to Gemma.
All will be delivered, will be,
saved.
When the Sahaba heard this, they
grieved.
So the
told them,
this great number will be from Gog and
Magog.
Yeah. Ummah. Ummah. Ummah. Ummah. Ummah. Ummah. Ummah.
Ummah. Ummah. Ummah. Ummah. Ummah.
So
the majority will be from them, which means
the Gog and Magog are
so many.
On top of that,
the majority of the people in the Jannah
are the Muslims,
the followers of our prophet And
on the day of resurrection, what will happen?
Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
created for each one of us 2 places,
2 seats,
1 in Jannah, 1 in the Alfa.
If
you obey Allah, you'll go to your seat
in the Jannah.
Disobeyed him, you go to take your seats
seat in the hellfire.
So now you are going to the Jannah.
So who's going to take your seat in
the hellfire?
Someone has to fill it,
your place.
So Allah
will send an angel
grabbing and pulling a tafir, a disbeliever,
holding the disbeliever,
coming to you,
and the angel will tell you this is
the one who's going to take your place
in the hellfire.
So Allah sets free the believers
and the devil's direction by the disbelievers.
The disbelievers,
they go and take their places in the
hellfire.
How about the place of this this believer
in the Jannah? Who's going to take it?
The believer. The Muslim.
The Muslim.
So the Muslim, they become inheritance or heirs
for the
places of the disbelievers in the jungle.
So the majority of mankind
will end up in the hellfire.
And yet,
the hellfire will not be satisfied.
The day that our will ask the hellfire,
are you satisfied?
Are you full?
And the hellfire was saying,
do you have more?
So the hellfire is so big.
It accommodates
the great number.
And only few of my servants are truly
grateful to Allah.
Grateful to Allah. Only a few.
Man, by nature, is ungrateful.
And women, they are ungrateful as well.
That's why they are the majority in the
hellfire are women.
Women.
The prophet said to the women,
even by giving part of your ornaments
because I saw that you are the majority
of the inhabitants of hellfire.
Majority are women.
A woman stood up, said, why?
Why?
The prophet Absa
Absod. Because you curse a lot.
Women, they curse a lot.
When they are angry,
they don't know what they are talking.
You curse a lot,
and you are ungrateful
to your husband.
You've been living with her for years,
20 years, 30 years, and then you made
a mistake
or said something upset her.
And she would tell you, I've never seen
anything good
in my life.
All the things that you did for her,
gone.
This is their nature.
So no wonder they are the majority
in the hellfire.
So upon hearing that
upon hearing that,
the started,
throwing
the bangles,
necklaces,
earrings.
K?
And Bilal was
collecting.
Also, Allah said,
we read every Friday
the story of the
the one who had the farm,
the garden.
So Allah says,
and so to the count, 34 to 35,
And he had other resources as well.
So he boasted to a poor companion of
his
while conversing with him. I am greater.
See? The same Jahiliya concept.
I'm greater than you and wealth
and superior
superior
in manpower.
K.
He had this garden,
yields
the yield of this gardening is so big,
enormous
yield,
produce,
during the harvest, everything.
These trees, they bear fruit for him.
So now because of
he's rich,
so he was arguing
or conversing with his companion
who happened to be very poor.
So he said to his companion,
boastfully, of course,
What will you have with whom? How it
means to converse.
Dialogue.
See, this is the sickness of man.
Those who are rich
and few only of them,
they are grateful to Allah.
Many of them, they become arrogant
Arrogant.
And they will forget that they were
one day very poor.
And if you remind them, I said, no.
No. No. No. No.
We
never we
never tasted poverty before. You are mistaken.
From day 1,
we have golden spoons in our mouths.
No. No. No.
So they forget.
So no so they become arrogant.
So he's boasting now. He ends
looking upon this poor
companion, and he said, well, who are you?
And.
K?
My man my wealth is more than yours.
You don't have any. The null is you
don't have wealth like me.
I
have time. I have plan. I have
number great big family members.
So I'm superior than you.
Superior than you. As enough, I was superior
in my power.
I have men
with me. You don't have any.
So this is the
the logic of the Jahiliya.
Then he
the conversation ended.
See
the arrogance.
And he entered
his property,
his garden,
his
Jannah,
while longing his soul,
saying,
I do not think this will ever perish.
See?
What he concluded,
I have wealth,
more children.
I have big family.
They have
big clan, big tribe.
So Allah must be happy with me.
So he went and he entered his garden
while he was in that state
of mind.
Was in
the
state
of
wronging him himself.
The my dear brothers and sisters,
He takes you step by step.
He pulls your leg
slowly but surely.
So he said,
here means
I'm sure.
K?
Means I'm sure. So I am always asking
you
to
learn Arabic.
So he's confident.
K?
Because
some places, it means certain.
I'm certain this
garden
will never perish.
Then he continued.
Even about the
about the resurrection.
I don't think so there will be the
hour will
be established.
And if there is an hour, there is
day, doomsday,
then I will find better
place than than what I have here.
Because I'm like, I mean, the or even
giving you something better
in the next line. And you know what
happened to him and what happened to his
god.
So
the
to to be deceived by the number or
the majority,
that's one of the
satanictrix
Shaytan
devices
and uses
to
mislead
the children
of Adam.
May Allah save us from his tricks.
May Allah make us from among those who
are grateful to Allah.
And may Allah
forgive us all false mistakes and ignorance, and
may Allah
keep us remain
steadfast on this beautiful
day until we meet our and
finding peace with all of us. And
may Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge of our
just deeds.
And may Allah
guide our to
unite our hearts in. May Allah reward all
of you,
my dear brothers and sisters, and mostly for
your patience and attendance.
With your permission, would you be would you,
do you want to move on to the
question and answer?
Yeah. We'll start taking the question and answer,
but, send the questions.
Yes. I've sent you the You want to
send them, or you want Talibat to send
them?
I've sent the first one.
Okay. Okay.
So the first question is, is
part of the after
finishing the salah?
After finishing the salah,
the no doubt it is,
but,
is it part of the regular
that
used to say?
I can't recall
right now.
Next.
I haven't received another question, so I'll give
it 1 minute
if any student has any more questions.
I've received one question.
I wanted to know if there is any
dua or prophetic remedy for arthritis.
No. I didn't receive the question.
I will send you the question now.
Is there any dua or prophetic remedy for
arthritis?
Okay. Is there any,
for fatigue remedy for arthritis?
In general, the prophet
said, you put your hand
on the place that hurts you.
You put your hand on the place that
hurts you,
and you say,
So you keep repeating this
dua 7 times.
K?
And the dua in general,
the dua
in general. Because Allah says,
When I fall sick,
he heals me. So the healer
is Allah
in addition to seeking medical,
treatment
medical treatment.
K. So
you take the medicine
and the and the
And Allah, at the end of the day,
it is Allah
who heals,
not the medicine and not the doctor. These
are only causes,
but these are only means.
The next question is,
what about those people who do not care
about the majority of the ulama who have
ruled?
What about people who do not
care about what to the majority of the
have ruled?
What the question is trying to say here?
I
mean,
if the question is saying how about people
who do not follow
the opinion of the or the opinion of
the
the majority of the ulama
regarding issues.
Is that what the questioner meant?
Of course, this is
not the right approach
that to go against
the mainstream
or the majority.
Okay. But
sometimes,
not
the opinion of the majority of the ulama,
Okay?
The is
the strongest.
What counts here, what matters here is the
evidence,
the evidence itself.
So sometimes you find, for example, the 4
imams,
4 schools of.
Sometimes
the strongest opinion
is an opinion of 1 of them,
though the the 3
are holding different opinion.
Why?
His opinions are stronger because the evidence, the
is
on his side.
Right?
But as rule of thumb, normally, of course,
the majority,
most of the time,
they are,
correct. I mean, the the
talking about the not majority of
of the what we are being talking about.
We are talking about them. Those
are majority of people who are
against the deen and, rejecting the truth, etcetera.
We're talking about Muslim scholars.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Barghulafiq,
the next question. What's about the hadith that
says my Ummah will never unite upon the
falsehood?
This is about,
consensus,
Ijmaq.
This is about the
consensus, the.
And,
this will not
be united upon battle.
That is consensus,
When the majority
or the the the
the bulk or the entire bulk of the
scholars agreed upon something.
So the issue is of a jumah, yeah,
consensus. So there is,
unanimous agreement
on a particular,
not issue.
So if there is one imam, for example,
it cannot consider
if the 3
okay.
Like, for example,
Imam Malik Imam Ahmed, Imam Shabari, are saying
something, and Imam Abu Hanifa saying something else.
So we cannot say there is here,
a or consensus.
So there
is a big scholar, big imam, Muslim imam
who is holding different opinion.
So here, there is no consensus,
so there's no on this matter.
And many, many issues of
people, they claim that there is but in
reality, when you
study,
you find that, no, there are
many imams,
say something different,
and they disagree with this
claimed
consensus. So there's no consensus
in many issues.
Next.
Is online dating permissible
such as talking to the opposite gender on
Instagram? A lot of girls are doing it
and pressuring their families to accept the guy
for marriage, or the girl will run off
with the guy. How does one address this?
Okay.
They want to
run. They want to run to run where?
To the hellfire?
What they want to
run? Don't you know that
the prophet
said the one who gets herself married, she's
an adulteress.
Zania.
And a woman gets
married without the consent of her guardian,
So her marriage is invalid, invalid, invalid. So
so listen, my daughters.
Listen, my dear sisters.
You are Muslim.
You don't need you know the meaning of
Islam?
Do you know the meaning of Islam?
Submission to God.
Do you believe
in Allah?
Do you believe in his teachings?
Do you believe in your prophet Muhammad?
If you say yes, then
who knows better?
You or
You or your prophet,
who knows better?
What's good for you?
You yourself
or the one who created
you? See the problem
many of our daughters
or sisters,
they are
brainwashed
by the media,
and they don't know anything about Islam.
Their knowledge is so superficial.
And
now the problem is for the youth,
Shawwa
and Shubha
as Imam. Now Qayyim
said, shaitan
can approach you
either.
So there are 2 windows. You need to
lock them if you want to go to
Jannah.
The window of the
shahawat,
desires, and the window
of shahawat,
doubts.
How can
how
can you lock
the window
of
doubts by your own knowledge,
about the window of desires, by the,
Islam, Inan.
That's how you locked in these two
windows.
But when these two windows are open, and
that is the reality,
the youth,
both
boys and girls,
everything is there on their fingertips.
The social media destroyed
the Muslim
news, destroyed
them.
Because everything is sad.
How long is that? Very easy.
You just
they tell you.
You I'm sure many of you, they received.
They see while you are and you're
opening your iPhone, you see the the ads
popping up.
Just swipe.
In no time,
the prostitute
is there at your doorstep.
Or a man.
If a woman wants a man,
so Haram
is available.
So how to counteract that?
It's only through the the fear of Allah
fear of Allah.
Yes. I can understand the sister are desperate.
They want to get flooded.
And their families, they need to help them.
But I request my daughters and my dear
sisters
to
have taqwa
via Allah,
build your iman.
It's close to Allah. It's only Allah who
can facilitate and make it easier for you
to get
suitable
mate's
husband.
I warn you
not to believe any man.
Okay?
Shaitan tells you, okay. Look look for,
partner for yourself. Go
on social media.
He will cry.
He will shed blood, not tears.
But this is a hungry wolf who's looking
for
a victim.
K?
He knows how to
pull your leg and how to chat, and
he will use laugh
stories.
So you will be flying
and fantasizing
and
until he gets what he wants.
Then he will drop you.
Say, get lost.
You think I'll marry you?
Not stupid.
Not stupid.
You came with me. You will go with
another man.
This what will happen.
And there are cases,
so many.
Okay?
So
ask your parents to help you,
Strengthen your relationship with your mother.
And there's nothing wrong
for the parents
to search
for husbands, for their daughters.
Our daughters are not better than Hafsa.
Her father offered her to Habakkuk when her
husband died.
She became
a widow.
He offered her to Abu Bakr,
And the didn't
say anything
and said, no. I'm not felt
upset.
Few days later, the prophet proposed
and married her.
Came, said, Nama, and said,
you got upset when I you offered Hafsa
to me. Right?
Said, of course.
You're the closest to me, and I'm offering
my daughter to you, and you're not accepting.
Said the reason I didn't accept her,
because one day,
I heard and see this how close the
prophet
of Abu Bakr to the prophet.
The of Abu Bakr
he knows the prophet
very well.
So he said, I heard the prophet is
asking about Hafsa
after the death of her husband. What did
Hafsa do?
So I felt
that he is going to marry her. So
that's why
I didn't agree or I didn't accept your
offer.
So this is Umaba. They were offering his
daughter.
So there's nothing wrong
for the parents to look for suitable
husband for their daughters
and even to offer their daughters
to help
them.
Because
in Islam, that is the system.
System in Islam
that the
husband to be has to come
through the proper channel
to the family
and see the girl.
They sit together
in the presence of.
They talk.
We give them room, of course, and we
are watching.
They are talking.
So if they like each other,
If not,
another one.
But we don't have dating
where the girl will go
with a man outside.
K?
I'm inviting you for tea,
then for dinner,
then
we'll go and have a walk, and you
know what that will finally lead to. No.
There's no room for that, for dating in
Islam.
K?
The family,
they help their children to get married.
Because some girls
have been brainwashed.
Oh, you mean arranged married.
No. We don't want that.
But the marriage that is based on
love.
Yeah.
Love. No.
Love comes after the marriage,
not before the marriage.
The other history of Muslims,
that's the system.
The family, they will do their homework. They
ask about the boy,
then he will come.
K. He's working. He's everything.
And then
the decision is yours. No one is going
to force you.
Parents are just facilitators.
So you sit with the husband to me.
You talk,
and you can this can
have, happen more than one time,
twice, 3 times.
Maybe the first time, you are shy. 2nd
time, you talk to each other.
So you lied to each other and handle
that. You don't?
Fine. You tell your parents, this is not
my cup of tea.
Okay. We'll bring you another cup of tea.
I hope this is clear to every girl,
and may Allah
make it easy for them.
May Allah
help the parents to find
suitable partners for their daughters.
And some parents, because of the traditions or
customs,
we only want
from our
family, from our tribe, from our clan, from
our community, etcetera. That is Jahiliyyah.
Jahiliyyah.
In Islam,
when the suitable partner comes,
then you
accept him for your dojo.
If this is clear to the
to the questioner.
I believe there is someone who wants to
ask the question to you directly, Sheikh.
Fine. No problem.
If the person who has their hand up,
if you can unmute and ask the question.
This
is
from Uganda.
Yes. My question,
we normally receive
for
over
here from from from from the Sorry? The
question about the over here?
Nam. Yes.
Now when when
the receivers, the one in charge, sometimes they
they tend to to sell the meat.
Oh,
even the one even even has
who, who are who are giving?
Is it allowed to sell us to to
sell
that meat
if you are in need of money instead
of instead of meat?
Oh,
can I buy
No? Can I buy that meat from that
meat from from the from the from the
one in charge? Mhmm.
Okay.
Yeah. See,
first of all,
the is
ritual.
K.
Because
the most important thing is
spilling the blood.
Because you have to keep in mind, why
do we
make the.
We have to blink and remember
when our
prophet,
Raheem
was about to slay slaughter his son, Ishmael.
And Allah saved Ishmael and
told
Ibrahim to slaughter
the sheep, the lamb.
So so when we are slaughtering, we have
that in mind.
And the reward is so great.
It's not about the meat.
It's about
the taqwa on your heart
that you are doing it
because you are fulfilling
what Allah subhanahu wa'ala commanded, what the prophet
commanded.
And, of course, then,
you know, divide it into 3 lots,
and 1 third for the relatives and 1
third for the poor.
I
I did my part.
Now this poor family,
they received a lot of meat,
a lot of meat.
And even they don't have
prisoners
to keep the meat in.
And they need for money,
cash.
So they are selling part of the meat
to the people
and get cash.
No problem.
That's
now because this is now mine
my my meat, and I'm selling it.
So it is halal. No problem at all.
K?
So can I buy this meat?
Why not?
But, of course, it's not the meat that
I gave out.
You have to keep that in mind.
But if this is the case, the poor
people, they go.
For example, there is a shop that will
buy from them, or there is a butcher
who will sell they give the meat and
they he sells
it, and you buy from them. That's an
issue.
And this meat, the the the butcher, he
has pizzas, so he keeps the meat there,
and he sells it.
No pressure. No problem. Because it is their
meat.
Their meat now, they they do whatever they
want with it.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Margal Afik,
the next question.
This is linked to the previous question about
arthritis.
I have used the UR that you mentioned,
and it has helped.
And from what I understood, you place your
right hand on the place of pain.
What if the pain is either in the
right hand or arm or somewhere where the
right hand cannot reach?
Should I put my left hand on it
and use it as normal?
Okay. You can't if you can't reach with
the right hand, you can use the left
hand. No issue.
No issue.
Allah knows your intention, and may Allah
grant you quick recovery and good.
Next.
A sister has 4 children.
With the youngest child, there was a scheme
she used called Sharia compliance scheme, which took
an amount in line with the inflation each
month
and put it in a trust from the
birth of the son. The son is now
16 and will have access to this trust
in 2 years.
As for his 3 sisters, the mother did
not use any scheme because it because it
was not available
for the first two girls, and she did
not know about it until she had her
son.
What should she do now to make things
equitable
for her children,
although the first two goals are self sufficient
now? K.
I think, I made it clear from before
that,
make your questions short to the point.
K, so that we can accommodate
as many questions as possible.
So I will answer this question.
I'm writing and send it to you, and
you can pass it to the to the
to the questioner.
Make your questions
short and sweet and to the point.
The next question.
Is the wajib
or sunnah?
And can I go to other cities when
I come
and come back to Mecca later?
Is obligatory.
Is,
and it is the last thing
that you do.
That's why it's called farewell
circumviation
or farewell.
As this, it will not come back to
to the Makkah, to the Haram.
K?
So you mix the offer with that, and
then you leave Mecca.
You don't come back.
Just from the Haram
to the airport.
That's the offer with that. If someone,
did not make the offer with that, then
he has to slaughter the sheep
in Mecca.
For example,
a woman
got her
period before making and the
the Hajj package cannot wait for her.
What to do? She can travel,
and then she has to pay for someone
in Mecca
to throw to her sheep and distribute the
meat in Mecca.
Because
the prophet
who after finishing the Hajj, one of the
women got her period.
And the prophet told that she didn't make
the father.
So he said she is going to
delay us
or give us
overstay.
They told him, no. She already made.
So he said, then let her,
okay, go. Let her travel.
So go off with that.
Okay. If a woman
got her period, she can
travel without making it, but she has to
pay for the
or, kafala, and that is the
she'd to be slaughtered in Mecca.
Next.
The next question, my 8 year old son
is asking if there is a bully in
your class and you hear him saying some
bad things about you, how should you deal
with it without fighting him?
Okay. There's a bully in your class, and
you hear him saying bad things about you.
How should you deal with it? This is
really
a disease, sickness, this among the children in
schools.
So
The best thing is that you ignore him.
You should not let
anyone to
provoke you.
Just treat him as if he is
mad
or crazy.
You didn't hear. Just pretend that you didn't
hear him.
K? There's no need for you to
to
come down to his level.
He has bad mouth.
So you want to have bad mouth like
him? No.
He is
swearing and saying bad things.
You are
good boy. You don't want to be like
him.
K?
And this the Quran teaches us
how to react with the fools. He's one
of the fools.
So Allah says,
So the servants of the beneficent, the merciful,
Allah most merciful,
when they walk, they walk in state of
peace,
humbleness, humility.
They're humble. They're not arrogant.
And
when the fools
try to
provoke them to make them angry, get angry,
let's say,
peace.
They don't
react
to them,
to their foolishness.
Because the moment you answer the fool, you
become fool like him.
I once read
they asked a wise man
wise man, they asked him,
how did you become wise? How did you
become wise? How did you learn wisdom?
He said,
the fools, they made you and me wise.
The fools taught me wisdom. The fools.
Then he explained. He said,
I'm living in the midst of fools.
So whenever
I come across a fool
and he says something
or hear I hear him saying something foolish,
I tell myself, oh,
you should not do something like this.
This
is not good quality. It's bad quality. It's
not noble quality. It is ignoble
quality you should not have.
Right?
So I say, okay. This I should not
have. Then I hear another fool saying something.
Say, also, this one I should not have.
So by time, I developed a long list
of bad habits
that I decided not to have.
So that's how I became
wise
because
I don't behave in the same way the
fools behave.
So this is my advice for you,
my son.
Be calm.
Don't let anyone
to
provoke you,
right,
or make you react
because he's saying these things because he wants
you to react.
And most of the time, those guys are
older than the young ones.
K? So
if this young child
replies, then he will hit this young child.
Besides that, the parents, they have to go
to the headmaster
and,
report the case.
For these children, they need to be disciplined.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
And the last question,
if I am in Mecca, can I go
for shopping to Jidda?
And of and I want to come back
Macca, shall I perform
waffle, wod,
woda, or not?
You see?
That's why as I'm saying,
you make
the last thing.
The last thing.
So that after
you leave. So if you did your shopping
and you went to,
Jidda, did some shopping,
and then came back to Mecca, you met,
and then you you left to the airport,
then there's no problem, Inshallah.
That was the last question,
if you would like to. Because because
some of the, they consider,
is
a.
Oh, okay. So, anyway, it is
controversial issue.
So if you just
went to and you are within
the boundaries,
that is better if it is better,
by wearing your play position
that you make the offer with that, and
then you go to Jidna.
Okay? Because Jidna are very close to the
airport, and then you do the shopping in
Jidna
and then to the airport
directly.
Or you it may be,
okay. You go for example,
your flight is tomorrow. Okay. Make offer with
that today. Leave Mecca and stay in Jidda.
No issue. And do your shopping there. The
next day, you take your flight.
I hope this was clear to the questioner.
Yes?
Sorry for interrupting you. That was the last
question,
if you'd like to end this session.
May Allah
bless you, protect protect you. May
Allah reward you immensely for your patience and
attendance,
and may Allah
elevate your status in this world and in
And may
Allah keep us to remain steadfast in this
beautiful deen
until we meet Allah
and find him pleased with all of us.
Amen. Until we meet
