The speakers discuss the use of the same language used by the prophet's message and the lack of cooperation among different cultures. The use of faculties and negative actions on people's lives is emphasized. The importance of accepting the truth and not denying one's views is emphasized. The speakers also discuss the importance of fasting, respecting others, and being equal to all individuals. Prayer and leaving one's lives for the future are also emphasized.
00:05:26 -->
00:05:26
How
00:05:28 -->
00:05:29
are you, Sheikh?
00:05:30 -->
00:05:30
Fine.
00:05:42 -->
00:05:44
Dear respected students, may Allah bless you all
00:05:44 -->
00:05:47
for your attendance. Today, we're covering the days
00:05:47 -->
00:05:47
of ignorance.
00:05:48 -->
00:05:50
Quick reminder, please take notes, listen attentively,
00:05:51 -->
00:05:53
and send your questions to me, throughout the
00:05:53 -->
00:05:55
course of the lesson and make sure they
00:05:55 -->
00:05:56
are short and concise.
00:06:11 -->
00:06:12
And now I'm gonna
00:06:12 -->
00:06:14
stay in or who
00:06:14 -->
00:06:15
wanna stop fiddle.
00:06:17 -->
00:06:19
When I was to be let him ensure
00:06:19 -->
00:06:20
when we say,
00:06:21 -->
00:06:22
the.
00:07:05 -->
00:07:07
My dear mothers and sisters, today is our
00:07:07 -->
00:07:08
weekly class,
00:07:12 -->
00:07:13
The issues of.
00:07:19 -->
00:07:20
And we reach,
00:07:21 -->
00:07:22
issue
00:07:22 -->
00:07:23
number 7 on.
00:07:39 -->
00:07:40
Now the people of Jahiliya,
00:07:42 -->
00:07:43
one of the arguments
00:07:45 -->
00:07:46
to reject the
00:07:47 -->
00:07:47
the
00:07:49 -->
00:07:51
and the message of the prophets
00:07:52 -->
00:07:55
that they claim. K.
00:07:55 -->
00:07:57
K. And they use
00:07:58 -->
00:07:59
as a proof for this,
00:08:01 -->
00:08:02
resistance
00:08:03 -->
00:08:03
that
00:08:04 -->
00:08:04
any people
00:08:05 -->
00:08:06
that had been giving strength
00:08:07 -->
00:08:08
and understanding
00:08:09 -->
00:08:10
and works
00:08:11 -->
00:08:12
as well as in dominion,
00:08:13 -->
00:08:16
wealth, and status that they were upon the
00:08:16 -->
00:08:16
truth.
00:08:17 -->
00:08:18
So this is the argument.
00:08:19 -->
00:08:20
The argument
00:08:21 -->
00:08:22
they
00:08:22 -->
00:08:23
are saying
00:08:24 -->
00:08:25
to the prophet
00:08:26 -->
00:08:26
and to the Muslims,
00:08:27 -->
00:08:29
These previous nations,
00:08:31 -->
00:08:33
the peoples who came before us,
00:08:35 -->
00:08:35
Allah
00:08:36 -->
00:08:37
has given them
00:08:39 -->
00:08:39
wealth,
00:08:45 -->
00:08:45
power, understanding,
00:08:49 -->
00:08:50
so they must be
00:08:50 -->
00:08:51
upon the truth.
00:08:53 -->
00:08:55
So that is the the yard district. That
00:08:55 -->
00:08:55
is their
00:08:56 -->
00:08:58
criterion. That's their argument.
00:09:02 -->
00:09:03
So they are not
00:09:05 -->
00:09:06
discussing
00:09:08 -->
00:09:10
what the prophet is teaching them, what the
00:09:10 -->
00:09:12
prophet is calling them to.
00:09:13 -->
00:09:14
No.
00:09:15 -->
00:09:15
We are
00:09:16 -->
00:09:19
following those who came before us.
00:09:20 -->
00:09:22
Our forefathers, they followed them blindly.
00:09:27 -->
00:09:27
And
00:09:27 -->
00:09:30
the other nations who preceded us,
00:09:32 -->
00:09:33
They had power. They had
00:09:34 -->
00:09:35
a chance. They
00:09:36 -->
00:09:37
were very strong,
00:09:38 -->
00:09:39
and they established
00:09:40 -->
00:09:41
civilizations.
00:09:44 -->
00:09:45
They constructed
00:09:45 -->
00:09:46
massive
00:09:46 -->
00:09:46
structures.
00:09:50 -->
00:09:52
They were dominant
00:09:52 -->
00:09:54
over a period of time,
00:09:56 -->
00:09:57
So they must be light,
00:09:58 -->
00:10:00
and they must be upon the truth.
00:10:01 -->
00:10:03
So this is the gist of their argument.
00:10:07 -->
00:10:08
K?
00:10:09 -->
00:10:10
This argument,
00:10:11 -->
00:10:13
it is similar to the argument of the
00:10:13 -->
00:10:15
superpowers nowadays.
00:10:16 -->
00:10:17
K? We have the superpowers.
00:10:19 -->
00:10:21
No one can do anything to us.
00:10:22 -->
00:10:23
We are
00:10:25 -->
00:10:26
much healthier than anyone.
00:10:31 -->
00:10:33
We can wipe humanity in no time. We
00:10:33 -->
00:10:35
finish all human beings.
00:10:36 -->
00:10:37
Same arrogance.
00:10:39 -->
00:10:41
Allegiance is the same. Argument is the same.
00:10:47 -->
00:10:49
So this is one of the features
00:10:50 -->
00:10:52
of the people of Jahiliya
00:10:53 -->
00:10:54
before and today,
00:10:55 -->
00:10:56
and it will continue.
00:11:05 -->
00:11:06
So Allah
00:11:08 -->
00:11:09
responded.
00:11:12 -->
00:11:13
And
00:11:14 -->
00:11:15
I want you.
00:11:17 -->
00:11:18
I became breathless
00:11:20 -->
00:11:24
recommending you, begging you, asking you,
00:11:25 -->
00:11:27
reflect in the Quran, ponder
00:11:30 -->
00:11:31
upon the Quran,
00:11:31 -->
00:11:32
upon the
00:11:33 -->
00:11:34
so we tell,
00:11:35 -->
00:11:37
Not that you read it in the parrot
00:11:37 -->
00:11:37
fashion.
00:11:41 -->
00:11:43
See how the Quran see the argument of
00:11:43 -->
00:11:44
the Quran.
00:11:45 -->
00:11:46
See how the Quran
00:11:47 -->
00:11:47
refutes
00:11:50 -->
00:11:52
the opponents and the enemies of the dua.
00:11:56 -->
00:11:59
Allah says in Surat Al Hakaf a 26.
00:12:39 -->
00:12:40
Say what Allah said. Indeed,
00:12:44 -->
00:12:46
we had established them in a way we
00:12:46 -->
00:12:47
have not established
00:12:48 -->
00:12:49
you, the people.
00:12:51 -->
00:12:53
So I'll describe in the previous nature.
00:12:55 -->
00:12:57
And we gave them hearing,
00:12:57 -->
00:12:59
sight, and intellect.
00:13:01 -->
00:13:02
But neither their hearing,
00:13:04 -->
00:13:05
sight, nor intellect
00:13:06 -->
00:13:08
were of any benefit to them
00:13:10 -->
00:13:10
whatsoever
00:13:12 -->
00:13:13
since they persisted
00:13:14 -->
00:13:16
in denying Allah's
00:13:16 -->
00:13:16
science.
00:13:19 -->
00:13:21
And so they were overwhelmed
00:13:22 -->
00:13:24
by what they used to ridicule.
00:13:26 -->
00:13:28
Let us pause and reflect.
00:13:34 -->
00:13:35
Well, I've got now.
00:13:38 -->
00:13:39
If you are arguing
00:13:40 -->
00:13:43
that those nations who preceded you
00:13:45 -->
00:13:46
must be right
00:13:46 -->
00:13:48
because they were powerful.
00:13:49 -->
00:13:50
They were established.
00:13:51 -->
00:13:52
Okay?
00:13:53 -->
00:13:54
They
00:13:56 -->
00:13:57
may constructed
00:13:57 -->
00:13:58
massive
00:14:00 -->
00:14:00
structures.
00:14:02 -->
00:14:04
They were dominant. They were ruling.
00:14:04 -->
00:14:06
So they must rewrite, and they must rip
00:14:06 -->
00:14:08
on the truth. So I was saying,
00:14:12 -->
00:14:15
Indeed, we have we had established them.
00:14:17 -->
00:14:18
We had because Allah,
00:14:19 -->
00:14:20
he provides
00:14:21 -->
00:14:21
gifts.
00:14:27 -->
00:14:29
The believers and the nonbelievers.
00:14:30 -->
00:14:31
This
00:14:33 -->
00:14:33
in
00:14:34 -->
00:14:35
the sight of Allah is nothing,
00:14:36 -->
00:14:37
so he gives it.
00:14:38 -->
00:14:40
He gives it to those who obey him,
00:14:40 -->
00:14:41
and he gives it to those who disobey
00:14:41 -->
00:14:42
him.
00:14:43 -->
00:14:45
Because Allah called it dunya,
00:14:46 -->
00:14:47
something very low.
00:14:49 -->
00:14:50
And it doesn't weigh
00:14:51 -->
00:14:52
in his sight
00:14:52 -->
00:14:55
the weight of the wing of the mosquito.
00:14:55 -->
00:14:56
So it's nothing.
00:14:58 -->
00:14:59
So if Allah
00:15:00 -->
00:15:00
gives
00:15:02 -->
00:15:04
this cover, the kingdom, like,
00:15:08 -->
00:15:10
K? Allah has given him that kingdom.
00:15:12 -->
00:15:13
But what happened to him?
00:15:14 -->
00:15:16
Allah drowned him
00:15:16 -->
00:15:17
in the sea.
00:15:21 -->
00:15:23
Read the history, my dear brothers and sisters.
00:15:24 -->
00:15:24
History
00:15:25 -->
00:15:26
is a school,
00:15:29 -->
00:15:30
and learn from history.
00:15:32 -->
00:15:33
See what happened to
00:15:34 -->
00:15:36
those who were arrogant,
00:15:36 -->
00:15:38
those who became rebellious.
00:15:40 -->
00:15:42
Read the history of the empires
00:15:43 -->
00:15:43
that
00:15:44 -->
00:15:44
vanished.
00:15:46 -->
00:15:47
Where is the Roman Empire?
00:15:48 -->
00:15:49
Where is
00:15:50 -->
00:15:52
it? Where is it? What do you see
00:15:52 -->
00:15:54
now when you go? Ruins.
00:15:55 -->
00:15:57
Was the Persian Empire?
00:15:58 -->
00:15:58
What do you see? Ruins.
00:16:01 -->
00:16:02
Come.
00:16:04 -->
00:16:07
And all the empires will go
00:16:09 -->
00:16:10
in the same way
00:16:11 -->
00:16:13
in the same way.
00:16:17 -->
00:16:18
Allah
00:16:22 -->
00:16:22
he
00:16:23 -->
00:16:24
just patient,
00:16:26 -->
00:16:27
and he gives people
00:16:28 -->
00:16:29
chance.
00:16:29 -->
00:16:30
Perhaps they will
00:16:31 -->
00:16:32
come to their senses.
00:16:32 -->
00:16:33
Perhaps they will
00:16:34 -->
00:16:35
refrain from their
00:16:37 -->
00:16:37
transgression,
00:16:38 -->
00:16:38
rebelliousness.
00:16:41 -->
00:16:42
But when they continue,
00:16:44 -->
00:16:46
he seizes them.
00:16:48 -->
00:16:50
And once Allah seizes you,
00:16:51 -->
00:16:52
cannot escape
00:16:53 -->
00:16:54
cannot escape.
00:17:04 -->
00:17:06
Yes. We have provided for them.
00:17:07 -->
00:17:08
We had established them
00:17:08 -->
00:17:11
in a way we have not established you,
00:17:12 -->
00:17:14
What we had given them
00:17:16 -->
00:17:17
was not given to you
00:17:17 -->
00:17:18
because
00:17:20 -->
00:17:21
you, the mechanism.
00:17:22 -->
00:17:24
K? You are living simple life.
00:17:25 -->
00:17:26
You have no civilization.
00:17:27 -->
00:17:27
Nothing.
00:17:28 -->
00:17:30
And there's wisdom behind that.
00:17:32 -->
00:17:32
Wisdom.
00:17:33 -->
00:17:34
Allah saved them
00:17:35 -->
00:17:36
from all
00:17:36 -->
00:17:36
other,
00:17:39 -->
00:17:39
philosophies,
00:17:41 -->
00:17:41
cultural
00:17:42 -->
00:17:43
influences.
00:17:44 -->
00:17:47
They were trapped in their island, Arabia, Peninsula.
00:17:49 -->
00:17:50
They don't see anyone
00:17:51 -->
00:17:51
except
00:17:52 -->
00:17:52
themselves
00:17:55 -->
00:17:58
fighting each other, killing each other. That's it.
00:18:00 -->
00:18:01
Their minds
00:18:02 -->
00:18:03
are not polluted with
00:18:06 -->
00:18:07
the philosophies
00:18:08 -->
00:18:09
of the Greek
00:18:10 -->
00:18:11
or the Persians.
00:18:12 -->
00:18:12
I think.
00:18:13 -->
00:18:16
So they remained closer, the Arabs, to the
00:18:16 -->
00:18:17
fitra,
00:18:18 -->
00:18:19
to the natural
00:18:19 -->
00:18:20
disposition.
00:18:22 -->
00:18:23
And even the shirk
00:18:23 -->
00:18:24
was
00:18:24 -->
00:18:25
very primitive.
00:18:27 -->
00:18:27
Primitive.
00:18:30 -->
00:18:31
It's not philosophical
00:18:34 -->
00:18:36
because you have to keep in mind
00:18:36 -->
00:18:37
that the Arabs
00:18:39 -->
00:18:40
are the descendants
00:18:41 -->
00:18:42
descendants of Sunnay.
00:18:44 -->
00:18:46
So they are the children
00:18:46 -->
00:18:47
of a prophet,
00:18:48 -->
00:18:49
a son of a prophet.
00:18:51 -->
00:18:54
Their father is Ismail. Their grandfather is Ibrahim
00:18:54 -->
00:18:55
alaihis salam.
00:18:59 -->
00:19:00
So they
00:19:01 -->
00:19:03
were monotheists, the Arabs, initially.
00:19:07 -->
00:19:08
The first deviation
00:19:08 -->
00:19:08
happened
00:19:10 -->
00:19:10
when
00:19:12 -->
00:19:14
the he went to a sham,
00:19:15 -->
00:19:17
and he found them selling idols. So I
00:19:17 -->
00:19:19
said, what what are these? What's this? He
00:19:19 -->
00:19:20
doesn't know.
00:19:20 -->
00:19:22
So these are intercessors.
00:19:22 -->
00:19:23
These
00:19:23 -->
00:19:24
are symbols.
00:19:25 -->
00:19:27
When we want to communicate with
00:19:29 -->
00:19:30
Allah through this idol.
00:19:31 -->
00:19:33
So they gave him 1, he placed it
00:19:33 -->
00:19:35
next to the Kaaba, and I mentioned this
00:19:35 -->
00:19:36
many times.
00:19:36 -->
00:19:39
And that's how the Arabs deviated from the
00:19:39 -->
00:19:39
monotheistic
00:19:40 -->
00:19:40
creed.
00:19:41 -->
00:19:43
But still some,
00:19:44 -->
00:19:45
teachings of the,
00:19:48 -->
00:19:50
creed of Ibrahim alaihis salam, the Hanifiyyah,
00:19:52 -->
00:19:54
like, Hajj Umar, sanctifying
00:19:58 -->
00:19:58
had remained.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:02
The Ashurah Haram, the sacred month
00:20:03 -->
00:20:04
remained.
00:20:06 -->
00:20:07
K?
00:20:09 -->
00:20:11
But they didn't establish a civilization
00:20:11 -->
00:20:12
like others.
00:20:18 -->
00:20:20
Indeed, we had established them in a way
00:20:20 -->
00:20:22
we have not established you,
00:20:25 -->
00:20:26
So Allah
00:20:26 -->
00:20:27
now
00:20:27 -->
00:20:31
is telling about the previous nations.
00:20:37 -->
00:20:39
And we have given them healing,
00:20:40 -->
00:20:41
sight, and intellect.
00:20:42 -->
00:20:43
These faculties
00:20:43 -->
00:20:44
to utilize.
00:20:45 -->
00:20:47
They have minds. They had
00:20:48 -->
00:20:49
they have
00:20:49 -->
00:20:50
sight.
00:20:50 -->
00:20:51
They can
00:20:53 -->
00:20:55
plan. They can have their own,
00:20:57 -->
00:20:58
future,
00:20:58 -->
00:21:00
plans, and
00:21:01 -->
00:21:02
Allah provided them
00:21:03 -->
00:21:05
with all the tools they need.
00:21:06 -->
00:21:07
I'm giving them hearing,
00:21:10 -->
00:21:11
sight, and intellect.
00:21:13 -->
00:21:14
Did that benefit them?
00:21:15 -->
00:21:18
Did they utilize such faculties
00:21:20 -->
00:21:20
effectively
00:21:21 -->
00:21:23
and in the right manner, in the right
00:21:23 -->
00:21:23
way?
00:21:24 -->
00:21:25
No.
00:21:41 -->
00:21:42
Owning such faculties
00:21:44 -->
00:21:45
that they should have used them
00:21:46 -->
00:21:49
to accept the hear the truth, see the
00:21:49 -->
00:21:49
truth,
00:21:50 -->
00:21:52
act upon the truth, they didn't.
00:21:54 -->
00:21:55
That's what Allah
00:21:55 -->
00:21:58
says about them. Deaf, dumb, blind.
00:21:59 -->
00:22:01
Deaf, they don't hear the they don't hear
00:22:01 -->
00:22:03
the truth. They don't
00:22:04 -->
00:22:06
pay attention to the truth. They don't listen
00:22:06 -->
00:22:07
to the call
00:22:07 -->
00:22:08
of
00:22:09 -->
00:22:10
messengers and prophets.
00:22:11 -->
00:22:12
So they are deaf,
00:22:13 -->
00:22:14
though they have ears.
00:22:15 -->
00:22:16
They outline.
00:22:17 -->
00:22:18
They don't see the truth.
00:22:22 -->
00:22:25
So they don't see the truth. They don't
00:22:25 -->
00:22:26
hear the truth,
00:22:26 -->
00:22:29
and they don't tell the truth as well.
00:22:35 -->
00:22:37
But neither their hearing,
00:22:38 -->
00:22:39
sight, nor intellect
00:22:40 -->
00:22:42
were of any benefit to them.
00:22:45 -->
00:22:45
Because
00:22:46 -->
00:22:48
these faculties, they are not utilized
00:22:50 -->
00:22:51
and used
00:22:52 -->
00:22:53
in the right way.
00:22:55 -->
00:22:57
And you reason and you think.
00:23:00 -->
00:23:01
You open your ears
00:23:03 -->
00:23:04
and listen to
00:23:04 -->
00:23:06
what this prophet is telling you
00:23:10 -->
00:23:13
and verify and check it and weigh it,
00:23:14 -->
00:23:15
internalize
00:23:15 -->
00:23:17
it, and think about it.
00:23:21 -->
00:23:22
Is it convincing?
00:23:23 -->
00:23:25
Does it does it
00:23:25 -->
00:23:26
resonate with your?
00:23:27 -->
00:23:29
Is he asking you
00:23:29 -->
00:23:30
something wrong?
00:23:33 -->
00:23:34
You find
00:23:34 -->
00:23:35
any person who
00:23:36 -->
00:23:37
is
00:23:37 -->
00:23:38
having
00:23:39 -->
00:23:41
pure, natural disposition,
00:23:42 -->
00:23:44
he will not hesitate to accept the truth.
00:23:46 -->
00:23:47
But if you see your
00:23:48 -->
00:23:49
ears and close your eyes,
00:23:52 -->
00:23:55
then these faculties will not benefit you.
00:23:59 -->
00:23:59
K?
00:24:01 -->
00:24:02
So any human being
00:24:03 -->
00:24:04
who's honest
00:24:06 -->
00:24:07
and objective
00:24:08 -->
00:24:09
and bias
00:24:09 -->
00:24:11
is looking for the truth,
00:24:13 -->
00:24:15
he will open his ears, and he will
00:24:15 -->
00:24:16
look and search,
00:24:17 -->
00:24:19
and the law will guide him.
00:24:21 -->
00:24:22
But if you see
00:24:23 -->
00:24:25
your ears, close your ears and close close
00:24:25 -->
00:24:26
your eyes
00:24:27 -->
00:24:28
and your ears.
00:24:30 -->
00:24:32
You don't want to to hear the truth.
00:24:32 -->
00:24:34
You don't want to listen to the truth.
00:24:34 -->
00:24:36
You want to you you don't want to
00:24:36 -->
00:24:38
look and search for the hap.
00:24:40 -->
00:24:42
K. So you are deaf, dumb, blind.
00:24:45 -->
00:24:47
They are like the cattle. Indeed,
00:24:48 -->
00:24:49
they are worse than the cattle.
00:24:52 -->
00:24:55
K. So Allah is telling them, your argument
00:24:57 -->
00:24:58
is so weak.
00:25:00 -->
00:25:02
Those who preceded you,
00:25:03 -->
00:25:03
they were
00:25:04 -->
00:25:05
giving
00:25:05 -->
00:25:06
these faculties,
00:25:09 -->
00:25:12
but they didn't benefit from that.
00:25:15 -->
00:25:19
But neither their hearing, sight, nor intellect were
00:25:19 -->
00:25:20
of any benefit to them
00:25:20 -->
00:25:21
whatsoever.
00:25:22 -->
00:25:24
I feel that means shade.
00:25:27 -->
00:25:27
K?
00:25:28 -->
00:25:31
So they you cannot conclude that they must
00:25:31 -->
00:25:32
be on the shoes.
00:25:33 -->
00:25:34
Cannot conclude that.
00:25:36 -->
00:25:37
Because if they were
00:25:39 -->
00:25:40
looking for the truth,
00:25:42 -->
00:25:43
they would have believed,
00:25:44 -->
00:25:45
and they wouldn't
00:25:46 -->
00:25:48
they wouldn't have been arrogant and
00:25:52 -->
00:25:52
opposing
00:25:53 -->
00:25:54
and resisting
00:25:55 -->
00:25:57
the prophets who came to them.
00:26:05 -->
00:26:07
This is the reason
00:26:09 -->
00:26:09
why
00:26:10 -->
00:26:11
the the
00:26:11 -->
00:26:12
faculties
00:26:12 -->
00:26:14
did not benefit them. Why?
00:26:15 -->
00:26:17
What made the
00:26:18 -->
00:26:18
faculties
00:26:19 -->
00:26:19
dysfunctional?
00:26:22 -->
00:26:22
Malfunctioning?
00:26:24 -->
00:26:25
What made it?
00:26:27 -->
00:26:27
The kufu.
00:26:32 -->
00:26:33
The denying,
00:26:34 -->
00:26:35
the rejection
00:26:35 -->
00:26:36
of the truth.
00:26:46 -->
00:26:47
Because they were denying,
00:26:49 -->
00:26:50
persisting,
00:26:54 -->
00:26:55
adamantly
00:26:56 -->
00:26:58
denying Allah's signs.
00:27:01 -->
00:27:03
They didn't reflect and ponder
00:27:04 -->
00:27:07
on the signs that were shown to them.
00:27:10 -->
00:27:11
The miracles,
00:27:13 -->
00:27:16
the prophets who came to them showed them.
00:27:18 -->
00:27:21
They didn't ponder upon the creation of Allah.
00:27:23 -->
00:27:25
They didn't look into themselves and see
00:27:26 -->
00:27:27
the signs of Allah.
00:27:31 -->
00:27:34
Eyes are closed, ears are sealed, and hearts
00:27:34 -->
00:27:34
are sealed.
00:27:38 -->
00:27:40
And then you think they were upon the
00:27:40 -->
00:27:41
truth? Country.
00:27:45 -->
00:27:46
That cannot
00:27:54 -->
00:27:54
I
00:27:59 -->
00:28:00
think we have
00:28:02 -->
00:28:02
these,
00:28:05 -->
00:28:06
lofty buildings,
00:28:06 -->
00:28:07
huge structures.
00:28:09 -->
00:28:09
We have,
00:28:11 -->
00:28:12
this power,
00:28:13 -->
00:28:14
this great army.
00:28:18 -->
00:28:19
That doesn't mean anything.
00:28:21 -->
00:28:23
Doesn't mean they were on the truth, on
00:28:23 -->
00:28:24
the.
00:28:26 -->
00:28:28
And that's why Allah destroyed them.
00:28:30 -->
00:28:31
Right?
00:28:33 -->
00:28:34
And this is Allah's
00:28:35 -->
00:28:37
one of the divine laws of Allah.
00:28:38 -->
00:28:39
When you transgress
00:28:40 -->
00:28:42
and you cross the boundaries,
00:28:43 -->
00:28:46
the result is inevitable, known.
00:28:49 -->
00:28:51
Wiping them out.
00:28:52 -->
00:28:53
That empire
00:28:55 -->
00:28:56
will go
00:28:56 -->
00:28:57
and vanish
00:28:59 -->
00:29:00
Varnish.
00:29:01 -->
00:29:02
So
00:29:03 -->
00:29:03
it says,
00:29:05 -->
00:29:05
it can
00:29:09 -->
00:29:12
because they were denying Allah's signs.
00:29:24 -->
00:29:26
Signs. Their evil deeds,
00:29:27 -->
00:29:29
their evil fruits.
00:29:30 -->
00:29:32
The hours comes of their deeds
00:29:33 -->
00:29:35
and actions, what happened,
00:29:37 -->
00:29:38
encircle them,
00:29:40 -->
00:29:40
overwhelmed them.
00:29:44 -->
00:29:45
Now they
00:29:46 -->
00:29:47
the evil deeds,
00:29:47 -->
00:29:48
their corruption,
00:29:49 -->
00:29:50
their transgression
00:29:51 -->
00:29:52
encircled them.
00:29:54 -->
00:29:55
And so they were overwhelmed
00:29:56 -->
00:29:58
by what they used
00:29:58 -->
00:29:59
to ridicule.
00:30:03 -->
00:30:04
They were mocking,
00:30:05 -->
00:30:05
ridiculing
00:30:10 -->
00:30:12
the what the prophet said and what came
00:30:12 -->
00:30:13
to that.
00:30:14 -->
00:30:16
So what was then
00:30:17 -->
00:30:18
the result
00:30:19 -->
00:30:20
of that
00:30:23 -->
00:30:25
such negative attitude?
00:30:33 -->
00:30:33
And
00:30:34 -->
00:30:35
their ending
00:30:39 -->
00:30:40
is painful,
00:30:44 -->
00:30:44
and
00:30:46 -->
00:30:48
they lost both this world
00:30:48 -->
00:30:50
and the one to come.
00:30:51 -->
00:30:53
So my dear brothers and sisters,
00:30:54 -->
00:30:55
never ever
00:30:56 -->
00:30:57
think
00:30:58 -->
00:30:58
power,
00:31:01 -->
00:31:01
fortune,
00:31:04 -->
00:31:04
etcetera,
00:31:05 -->
00:31:06
is the criterion.
00:31:09 -->
00:31:10
So this
00:31:11 -->
00:31:15
issue of the which they use as basis
00:31:16 -->
00:31:17
of proof
00:31:17 -->
00:31:20
that any people that had been given strength,
00:31:20 -->
00:31:21
they were powerful,
00:31:22 -->
00:31:23
and
00:31:26 -->
00:31:27
they have understanding
00:31:28 -->
00:31:30
like the Greek like the Greek.
00:31:31 -->
00:31:32
They're philosophers.
00:31:33 -->
00:31:33
Aristotle,
00:31:34 -->
00:31:34
Socrates,
00:31:35 -->
00:31:35
Plato.
00:31:36 -->
00:31:37
Where are they?
00:31:38 -->
00:31:39
Where are they today?
00:31:42 -->
00:31:44
Finish. Go to your knees and see. Ruins.
00:31:47 -->
00:31:47
K?
00:31:48 -->
00:31:49
They're rude.
00:31:50 -->
00:31:51
The Greek, they ruled
00:31:53 -->
00:31:53
for a while.
00:31:54 -->
00:31:57
The Romans, they ruled for a while. The
00:31:57 -->
00:31:58
Persians, they ruled for a while.
00:31:59 -->
00:32:01
Where are they? Finish.
00:32:01 -->
00:32:02
Gone.
00:32:03 -->
00:32:04
So that is not the criteria.
00:32:11 -->
00:32:12
K?
00:32:13 -->
00:32:13
The evil
00:32:14 -->
00:32:15
deeds they used to do
00:32:16 -->
00:32:16
and ridiculing
00:32:17 -->
00:32:17
and mocking
00:32:19 -->
00:32:20
encircle them, overwhelm them,
00:32:21 -->
00:32:23
and then they have to face their destiny.
00:32:30 -->
00:32:31
Allah also says
00:32:35 -->
00:32:36
89.
00:33:16 -->
00:33:17
This is
00:33:18 -->
00:33:19
regarding
00:33:23 -->
00:33:24
the Jews.
00:33:26 -->
00:33:27
I was said,
00:33:28 -->
00:33:29
and you know
00:33:30 -->
00:33:30
is.
00:33:32 -->
00:33:33
Maqarah is Sura Maqarah.
00:33:35 -->
00:33:38
And the Madani Suras, they talked about,
00:33:39 -->
00:33:42
the Jews talk about the hypocrites. So Del
00:33:42 -->
00:33:43
Baqarah dealt
00:33:44 -->
00:33:45
quite extensively
00:33:45 -->
00:33:47
with the hypocrites
00:33:48 -->
00:33:49
and the Jews because they are in Medina.
00:33:52 -->
00:33:53
Before,
00:33:57 -->
00:33:59
the Jews were expecting
00:34:00 -->
00:34:00
expecting
00:34:03 -->
00:34:03
a prophet
00:34:04 -->
00:34:05
to come.
00:34:05 -->
00:34:07
That's what they need
00:34:08 -->
00:34:09
in their,
00:34:09 -->
00:34:11
books in the Torah.
00:34:12 -->
00:34:13
In the Torah, they read
00:34:15 -->
00:34:17
that this is a time of a prophet
00:34:18 -->
00:34:19
to appear.
00:34:20 -->
00:34:21
So they know that.
00:34:22 -->
00:34:24
And they used to tell the Arabs,
00:34:24 -->
00:34:27
this is a time for a prophet
00:34:28 -->
00:34:29
to appear,
00:34:30 -->
00:34:32
and we will believe in him,
00:34:33 -->
00:34:34
and we will fight
00:34:35 -->
00:34:36
you along with him,
00:34:37 -->
00:34:39
and we will wipe you out.
00:34:41 -->
00:34:42
They were threatening the Arabs.
00:34:45 -->
00:34:48
And that's why they settled in Medina, the
00:34:48 -->
00:34:49
Jews.
00:34:52 -->
00:34:54
Three tribes of the Jews settled in Medina.
00:34:57 -->
00:34:58
And,
00:34:59 -->
00:35:00
Panu Qalaibah.
00:35:01 -->
00:35:02
Three tribes
00:35:02 -->
00:35:03
settled in Medina
00:35:04 -->
00:35:04
because
00:35:04 -->
00:35:05
they know
00:35:06 -->
00:35:07
that this is
00:35:08 -->
00:35:10
the sit the place he is going to
00:35:10 -->
00:35:12
come and settle there. They know that. They
00:35:12 -->
00:35:13
needed the
00:35:15 -->
00:35:17
scriptures. So they were
00:35:18 -->
00:35:19
preparing themselves to
00:35:20 -->
00:35:21
for that.
00:35:23 -->
00:35:26
They were expecting this prophet to be from
00:35:26 -->
00:35:29
among the children of Isaac, not the children
00:35:29 -->
00:35:30
of Ishmael.
00:35:31 -->
00:35:33
Because the Jews and the Arabs are cousins,
00:35:33 -->
00:35:34
actually. Cousins.
00:35:35 -->
00:35:36
Cousins.
00:35:38 -->
00:35:39
The Arabs are descendants
00:35:40 -->
00:35:41
of Ishmael,
00:35:42 -->
00:35:43
and
00:35:43 -->
00:35:44
the Jews, descendants
00:35:45 -->
00:35:45
of
00:35:48 -->
00:35:49
Isaac,
00:35:50 -->
00:35:51
Shab, Alim Sala.
00:35:52 -->
00:35:53
They are cousins.
00:35:56 -->
00:35:58
But it is the the jealousy, the.
00:36:03 -->
00:36:05
So they were threatening the Arabs,
00:36:07 -->
00:36:09
telling them this is a time for a
00:36:09 -->
00:36:10
profit to come.
00:36:11 -->
00:36:12
Okay?
00:36:13 -->
00:36:15
We will follow him, and then we'll fight
00:36:15 -->
00:36:16
you.
00:36:17 -->
00:36:18
So why is saying here,
00:36:19 -->
00:36:20
although
00:36:20 -->
00:36:24
they used to pay for victory by means
00:36:24 -->
00:36:24
of the prophet
00:36:27 -->
00:36:28
over the polytheists,
00:36:29 -->
00:36:29
the Arabs,
00:36:31 -->
00:36:33
When they came to them a book from
00:36:33 -->
00:36:35
Allah, which they recognized,
00:36:37 -->
00:36:40
confirming the scripture they had in their hands,
00:36:40 -->
00:36:41
the Torah,
00:36:42 -->
00:36:43
they rejected it.
00:36:44 -->
00:36:45
So may Allah's
00:36:45 -->
00:36:46
condemnation
00:36:47 -->
00:36:49
be upon the disbelievers.
00:36:52 -->
00:36:53
See,
00:36:53 -->
00:36:55
to this surprise, the Jews,
00:36:56 -->
00:36:59
that this prophet came from among the Arabs.
00:37:01 -->
00:37:02
Oh,
00:37:02 -->
00:37:05
now what to do? They know he is
00:37:05 -->
00:37:07
the prophet of Allah. They know that.
00:37:09 -->
00:37:10
Now did their knowledge
00:37:11 -->
00:37:12
and understanding,
00:37:14 -->
00:37:15
did it benefit them?
00:37:17 -->
00:37:17
No.
00:37:20 -->
00:37:21
They didn't.
00:37:24 -->
00:37:26
That's why the Arabs,
00:37:28 -->
00:37:29
the,
00:37:32 -->
00:37:32
in Medina,
00:37:34 -->
00:37:35
by then.
00:37:36 -->
00:37:38
So when they heard about
00:37:39 -->
00:37:41
there is a prophet, they said, oh,
00:37:42 -->
00:37:45
this is the prophet the Jews were telling
00:37:45 -->
00:37:45
us.
00:37:48 -->
00:37:51
And this prophet came from among us, the
00:37:51 -->
00:37:51
Arabs.
00:37:53 -->
00:37:56
So let us rush. Let us believe in
00:37:56 -->
00:37:58
him. Let us accept him.
00:37:58 -->
00:38:02
And that's what they did. And they sent
00:38:02 -->
00:38:04
a delegation, and they met, you know, the
00:38:04 -->
00:38:05
there
00:38:06 -->
00:38:06
in the Hajj,
00:38:07 -->
00:38:09
and they became Muslims. And then they
00:38:10 -->
00:38:11
told him,
00:38:11 -->
00:38:14
now come to Medina. We will defend you
00:38:14 -->
00:38:15
and we'll receive you.
00:38:17 -->
00:38:18
And the went
00:38:18 -->
00:38:19
to Medina.
00:38:20 -->
00:38:21
Sophia
00:38:27 -->
00:38:28
he's from the Jews.
00:38:33 -->
00:38:35
Then the prophet married her.
00:38:37 -->
00:38:38
She said,
00:38:39 -->
00:38:40
the day the prophet
00:38:41 -->
00:38:42
entered Medina,
00:38:44 -->
00:38:46
my father and my uncle, they went to
00:38:46 -->
00:38:47
see him
00:38:50 -->
00:38:52
because they know the science of the prophet,
00:38:53 -->
00:38:55
and they know how he looks.
00:38:56 -->
00:38:58
Detailed descriptions in the Torah.
00:38:59 -->
00:39:01
They're hiding these descriptions.
00:39:02 -->
00:39:04
But Allah told us,
00:39:07 -->
00:39:09
They know him as they know their own
00:39:09 -->
00:39:10
children.
00:39:11 -->
00:39:11
You
00:39:13 -->
00:39:15
know, what does that mean? When you know
00:39:15 -->
00:39:17
your child, you will not make a mistake.
00:39:19 -->
00:39:21
Your child in the midst of,
00:39:24 -->
00:39:25
tens of children,
00:39:25 -->
00:39:27
you'll pick him up. You know him.
00:39:28 -->
00:39:30
So that's much how much they knew the
00:39:30 -->
00:39:31
prophet.
00:39:33 -->
00:39:34
So they went to see,
00:39:35 -->
00:39:36
and they saw
00:39:36 -->
00:39:37
she's the prophet,
00:39:38 -->
00:39:40
the Torah mentioned the Torah
00:39:41 -->
00:39:42
talks about.
00:39:43 -->
00:39:45
They went in the morning, came in the
00:39:45 -->
00:39:45
evening.
00:39:50 -->
00:39:50
He said,
00:39:53 -->
00:39:55
I was so close to them. When they
00:39:55 -->
00:39:59
see me, they hug me. They kiss me.
00:40:02 -->
00:40:04
So when I saw them, I ran to
00:40:04 -->
00:40:04
them,
00:40:05 -->
00:40:07
and they ignored me
00:40:07 -->
00:40:09
because they were sad
00:40:09 -->
00:40:10
and happy.
00:40:12 -->
00:40:15
And I heard them talking to each other,
00:40:15 -->
00:40:16
my father and my uncle.
00:40:16 -->
00:40:18
And one of them is asking the other,
00:40:18 -->
00:40:19
what do you think of him?
00:40:21 -->
00:40:23
And he said, he is.
00:40:24 -->
00:40:25
He's the prophet.
00:40:27 -->
00:40:29
Said, what should we do?
00:40:30 -->
00:40:32
He said, we will fight him.
00:40:35 -->
00:40:37
We will fight him.
00:40:38 -->
00:40:40
He is the prophet.
00:40:41 -->
00:40:44
Our Torah tells us about him,
00:40:46 -->
00:40:49
but we will not believe in him and
00:40:49 -->
00:40:50
not accept him
00:40:50 -->
00:40:52
because he is from
00:40:52 -->
00:40:53
our cousins,
00:40:53 -->
00:40:54
from the
00:40:54 -->
00:40:55
Arabs.
00:40:55 -->
00:40:57
So we will find him.
00:40:59 -->
00:41:01
So Allah is here reminding
00:41:03 -->
00:41:03
us
00:41:11 -->
00:41:12
about that.
00:41:18 -->
00:41:19
This Koran
00:41:20 -->
00:41:22
confirming what they have
00:41:24 -->
00:41:25
in their hands.
00:41:30 -->
00:41:30
They were
00:41:31 -->
00:41:31
boasting
00:41:32 -->
00:41:34
and telling this is a time of a
00:41:34 -->
00:41:35
prophet. We fight
00:41:35 -->
00:41:36
with him,
00:41:36 -->
00:41:38
and we will be victorious
00:41:42 -->
00:41:43
by this prophet, by
00:41:44 -->
00:41:44
fighting
00:41:45 -->
00:41:46
with this prophet
00:41:48 -->
00:41:51
over you, threatening the Arabs.
00:41:54 -->
00:41:56
So they were threatening the
00:42:07 -->
00:42:09
Arabs. When the truth came to them,
00:42:10 -->
00:42:13
confirming description they had in their hands, they
00:42:13 -->
00:42:14
rejected it.
00:42:18 -->
00:42:18
So
00:42:19 -->
00:42:23
their knowledge didn't benefit them. Their understanding
00:42:23 -->
00:42:24
didn't benefit them.
00:42:28 -->
00:42:29
Because
00:42:30 -->
00:42:31
the arrogance,
00:42:31 -->
00:42:32
the jealousy
00:42:34 -->
00:42:36
clouded their eyes.
00:42:38 -->
00:42:40
So they rejected the truth.
00:42:46 -->
00:42:49
They disbelieved in it, and they rejected it.
00:42:50 -->
00:42:50
Then
00:42:52 -->
00:42:53
Allah
00:42:55 -->
00:42:56
said,
00:43:00 -->
00:43:02
So may Allah's curse
00:43:03 -->
00:43:05
be upon the disbelievers.
00:43:06 -->
00:43:08
So Allah called them disbelievers
00:43:11 -->
00:43:12
because of
00:43:13 -->
00:43:13
rejecting
00:43:14 -->
00:43:15
what came to them.
00:43:16 -->
00:43:17
So to say,
00:43:18 -->
00:43:20
they were people of knowledge that had in
00:43:20 -->
00:43:22
the understanding
00:43:22 -->
00:43:23
and all that,
00:43:25 -->
00:43:28
that will not avail them that didn't benefit
00:43:28 -->
00:43:28
them.
00:43:33 -->
00:43:35
1 146, Allah said,
00:43:35 -->
00:43:37
regarding the Jews again.
00:43:54 -->
00:43:54
The
00:43:55 -->
00:43:56
Quran exposes
00:43:57 -->
00:43:59
them and expose expose
00:44:00 -->
00:44:00
them
00:44:03 -->
00:44:05
because Allah is watching them.
00:44:06 -->
00:44:06
Allah
00:44:07 -->
00:44:09
is seeing what their hearts conceal.
00:44:12 -->
00:44:13
So he told us,
00:44:16 -->
00:44:19
those we have given the scripture recognize this
00:44:19 -->
00:44:19
prophet
00:44:20 -->
00:44:21
as they recognize
00:44:22 -->
00:44:23
their own children.
00:44:25 -->
00:44:25
Yet
00:44:26 -->
00:44:29
group of them hides the truth knowingly.
00:44:30 -->
00:44:31
Knowingly,
00:44:31 -->
00:44:32
they hide it.
00:44:36 -->
00:44:37
They hide the truth.
00:44:39 -->
00:44:41
Though they know he is
00:44:41 -->
00:44:42
the prophet of Allah.
00:44:47 -->
00:44:48
In the hadith,
00:44:49 -->
00:44:50
the prophet
00:44:50 -->
00:44:51
said
00:44:53 -->
00:44:54
that the Jews
00:44:54 -->
00:44:56
would sit with him,
00:44:57 -->
00:45:00
and they would pretend that they were sneezing.
00:45:05 -->
00:45:06
Everyone will pretend,
00:45:08 -->
00:45:09
Sneezing.
00:45:09 -->
00:45:10
They're not sneezing.
00:45:12 -->
00:45:15
They're only wishing that the prophet will tell
00:45:15 -->
00:45:15
will tell them,
00:45:16 -->
00:45:17
you have Hank.
00:45:18 -->
00:45:19
They're looking for that
00:45:20 -->
00:45:21
because they know he's a prophet.
00:45:23 -->
00:45:24
So everyone is
00:45:25 -->
00:45:25
hoping
00:45:26 -->
00:45:28
and begging that
00:45:28 -->
00:45:30
I will pretend that I'm sneezing
00:45:31 -->
00:45:32
so the prophet will tell me
00:45:33 -->
00:45:34
Allah's mercy on you.
00:45:35 -->
00:45:36
Looking for that.
00:45:37 -->
00:45:38
And the prophet
00:45:38 -->
00:45:40
knew what they were looking for,
00:45:41 -->
00:45:42
so he would not tell them.
00:45:45 -->
00:45:46
He would only tell them.
00:45:55 -->
00:45:56
May Allah
00:45:58 -->
00:45:58
guide you
00:46:00 -->
00:46:02
and amend your affairs.
00:46:04 -->
00:46:06
So he would pray for the Hidayah.
00:46:10 -->
00:46:12
Mhmm. They will guide you,
00:46:12 -->
00:46:15
and we'll, reform and amend
00:46:15 -->
00:46:17
your situations
00:46:20 -->
00:46:21
because
00:46:22 -->
00:46:23
they know the truth.
00:46:24 -->
00:46:26
They know he's the prophet of Allah.
00:46:27 -->
00:46:29
They know him very well as they they
00:46:29 -->
00:46:31
know and recognize their own
00:46:31 -->
00:46:32
children.
00:46:35 -->
00:46:36
But
00:46:37 -->
00:46:38
they didn't believe in Amsu,
00:46:42 -->
00:46:42
and they
00:46:45 -->
00:46:46
hid the truth
00:46:48 -->
00:46:48
knowingly.
00:46:50 -->
00:46:52
They were hiding the truth knowingly.
00:46:58 -->
00:46:58
In
00:46:59 -->
00:47:00
one hadith,
00:47:00 -->
00:47:01
as you know, the
00:47:02 -->
00:47:05
he heard that one Jewish boy
00:47:06 -->
00:47:07
dying.
00:47:09 -->
00:47:10
The prophet is
00:47:11 -->
00:47:13
for mankind, mercy for mankind.
00:47:14 -->
00:47:17
And he didn't want this boy to die
00:47:18 -->
00:47:19
as non Muslim
00:47:20 -->
00:47:21
because he knows.
00:47:21 -->
00:47:23
You die as,
00:47:25 -->
00:47:26
you'll go to the hellfire.
00:47:30 -->
00:47:31
Because they said,
00:47:32 -->
00:47:33
no Jew or Christian
00:47:33 -->
00:47:34
hears of me
00:47:35 -->
00:47:36
and then dies
00:47:36 -->
00:47:38
and other than Islam, except that he will
00:47:38 -->
00:47:40
be thrown to the hellfire.
00:47:41 -->
00:47:44
So he decided to pay a visit to
00:47:44 -->
00:47:46
this dying boy,
00:47:47 -->
00:47:47
you.
00:47:50 -->
00:47:52
And he's found the boy is dying.
00:47:52 -->
00:47:54
So he offered the Islam to him. He
00:47:54 -->
00:47:55
said,
00:47:56 -->
00:47:56
become a Muslim.
00:47:58 -->
00:47:59
The boy looked to his father,
00:48:01 -->
00:48:04
was afraid. So he looked to his father
00:48:04 -->
00:48:05
as if
00:48:07 -->
00:48:10
do you give me permission? Should I say
00:48:11 -->
00:48:12
accept the Shahadas?
00:48:13 -->
00:48:14
Accept Islam?
00:48:17 -->
00:48:18
The father said
00:48:19 -->
00:48:20
to his son,
00:48:23 -->
00:48:26
Obey the father of Al Qasim. Obey him
00:48:27 -->
00:48:28
because he's Rasulullah.
00:48:29 -->
00:48:29
He knows that.
00:48:31 -->
00:48:31
He said,
00:48:32 -->
00:48:34
Obey the father of Al Qasim,
00:48:36 -->
00:48:37
And the boy said the and
00:48:38 -->
00:48:38
died
00:48:40 -->
00:48:40
as Muslim.
00:48:41 -->
00:48:42
The prophet
00:48:42 -->
00:48:44
came out rejoicing,
00:48:44 -->
00:48:45
very happy, saying,
00:48:48 -->
00:48:50
that Allah saved him through me from the
00:48:50 -->
00:48:50
hellfire.
00:48:54 -->
00:48:57
So here, they used they knew the truth.
00:48:57 -->
00:48:58
They had knowledge
00:49:00 -->
00:49:01
that didn't benefit them.
00:49:05 -->
00:49:06
So the criterion
00:49:07 -->
00:49:09
is not that having knowledge,
00:49:09 -->
00:49:10
having
00:49:11 -->
00:49:13
power, having understanding,
00:49:13 -->
00:49:14
outstanding,
00:49:14 -->
00:49:15
not no.
00:49:16 -->
00:49:16
Outstanding,
00:49:17 -->
00:49:17
understanding.
00:49:19 -->
00:49:19
Okay?
00:49:20 -->
00:49:20
No.
00:49:22 -->
00:49:24
You have to accept the truths. If you
00:49:24 -->
00:49:25
didn't accept the truth,
00:49:26 -->
00:49:27
all this will not
00:49:28 -->
00:49:31
avail you, will not benefit you,
00:49:31 -->
00:49:32
and
00:49:32 -->
00:49:33
will be in vain.
00:49:43 -->
00:49:45
Allah also says,
00:49:49 -->
00:49:50
mentioning to us
00:49:51 -->
00:49:51
what the,
00:49:53 -->
00:49:54
how they think.
00:49:54 -->
00:49:56
I was saying in Surat Mariam
00:49:58 -->
00:49:58
73.
00:50:13 -->
00:50:15
See the argument of the kafar?
00:50:18 -->
00:50:20
When our clear revelations
00:50:20 -->
00:50:23
are recited to them, the disbelievers
00:50:23 -->
00:50:24
asked the believers
00:50:25 -->
00:50:25
mockingly,
00:50:27 -->
00:50:27
sarcastically,
00:50:29 -->
00:50:29
mockingly,
00:50:31 -->
00:50:33
which one of the 2 of us is
00:50:33 -->
00:50:34
better in status
00:50:35 -->
00:50:36
and superior in assembly?
00:50:38 -->
00:50:39
K?
00:50:39 -->
00:50:41
So they are telling the Muslims,
00:50:44 -->
00:50:45
which one of us
00:50:45 -->
00:50:46
who
00:50:46 -->
00:50:48
is having the upper hand
00:50:49 -->
00:50:49
or is
00:50:50 -->
00:50:51
having power?
00:50:53 -->
00:50:54
K.
00:50:55 -->
00:50:55
And you'll
00:50:56 -->
00:50:56
find
00:50:57 -->
00:50:58
the.
00:50:58 -->
00:50:59
1,
00:50:59 -->
00:51:00
which
00:51:01 -->
00:51:01
of
00:51:02 -->
00:51:04
the 2 of us is better in status
00:51:04 -->
00:51:05
and superior
00:51:07 -->
00:51:08
in assembly?
00:51:12 -->
00:51:13
In other words, they were insinuating,
00:51:16 -->
00:51:16
k,
00:51:18 -->
00:51:20
that we are the ones,
00:51:21 -->
00:51:21
which means
00:51:22 -->
00:51:24
they are on the truth, not you.
00:51:30 -->
00:51:31
When our
00:51:32 -->
00:51:33
when our clear
00:51:34 -->
00:51:36
verses and revelations are
00:51:37 -->
00:51:39
read to them, recited to them,
00:51:41 -->
00:51:42
call it
00:51:43 -->
00:51:44
the disbelievers.
00:51:47 -->
00:51:49
So the disbelievers, they would react.
00:51:50 -->
00:51:51
This they're reacting as follow.
00:51:53 -->
00:51:53
The disbelievers
00:51:54 -->
00:51:55
ask the believers.
00:52:06 -->
00:52:08
They pose this question to the believers.
00:52:09 -->
00:52:12
Which of the 2 of us is better
00:52:12 -->
00:52:13
in satis and superior
00:52:16 -->
00:52:17
in assembly, in gathering,
00:52:18 -->
00:52:21
and family, and status, and prestige,
00:52:22 -->
00:52:22
etcetera?
00:52:25 -->
00:52:25
Allah
00:52:26 -->
00:52:27
answered that.
00:52:28 -->
00:52:31
This question which they posed, Allah answered it.
00:52:32 -->
00:52:33
Allah answered
00:52:33 -->
00:52:34
it.
00:52:34 -->
00:52:35
That was 73
00:52:35 -->
00:52:36
in Mariam.
00:52:36 -->
00:52:39
The follow the ayah to follow,
00:52:39 -->
00:52:40
74,
00:52:41 -->
00:52:42
is the answer
00:52:42 -->
00:52:45
to that question which they posed
00:52:45 -->
00:52:46
mockingly.
00:52:48 -->
00:52:52
The to follow, Allah answered them and responded
00:52:54 -->
00:52:55
by saying,
00:53:11 -->
00:53:12
Imagine, oh prophet,
00:53:12 -->
00:53:13
how many peoples,
00:53:15 -->
00:53:17
how many nations we have destroyed
00:53:19 -->
00:53:19
before them
00:53:21 -->
00:53:22
who were far better
00:53:23 -->
00:53:24
in luxury
00:53:25 -->
00:53:26
and splendor.
00:53:28 -->
00:53:31
So if they are boasting now and saying
00:53:31 -->
00:53:33
because we have this luxury,
00:53:35 -->
00:53:35
k,
00:53:36 -->
00:53:39
and our status is better than your status,
00:53:43 -->
00:53:45
poor fellows, they don't know
00:53:46 -->
00:53:47
that this is not the criteria
00:53:49 -->
00:53:51
of knowing who's in the truth and who's
00:53:51 -->
00:53:51
not.
00:53:52 -->
00:53:56
Because many nations who have crusaded them,
00:53:56 -->
00:53:58
we finish them.
00:53:58 -->
00:53:59
We destroy them.
00:54:02 -->
00:54:03
So possessing
00:54:03 -->
00:54:06
and having wealth and prestige
00:54:06 -->
00:54:07
and splendor
00:54:08 -->
00:54:09
proves nothing.
00:54:12 -->
00:54:13
It is just
00:54:13 -->
00:54:16
like a bait. The bait for the fish,
00:54:16 -->
00:54:18
this is bait for them
00:54:19 -->
00:54:20
to put their legs.
00:54:21 -->
00:54:23
That's it. And to be tested,
00:54:25 -->
00:54:26
but it doesn't prove anything
00:54:28 -->
00:54:29
that they are upon the truth.
00:54:33 -->
00:54:35
Because some people, they think, oh,
00:54:36 -->
00:54:38
everything is fine. So Allah loves me.
00:54:42 -->
00:54:43
And Allah has given me,
00:54:46 -->
00:54:47
so he loves me. No.
00:54:48 -->
00:54:50
If Allah has given you
00:54:50 -->
00:54:52
while you are
00:54:53 -->
00:54:55
far away from him, that's not a sign
00:54:55 -->
00:54:56
of love.
00:54:57 -->
00:54:58
That is called.
00:55:00 -->
00:55:03
Allah is giving you a long robe
00:55:03 -->
00:55:05
to hang yourself with it.
00:55:06 -->
00:55:07
That's it.
00:55:09 -->
00:55:10
To hang yourself with it.
00:55:12 -->
00:55:13
So if you are
00:55:13 -->
00:55:16
making haram and everything is fine,
00:55:18 -->
00:55:18
be careful.
00:55:20 -->
00:55:20
Be careful.
00:55:22 -->
00:55:22
Okay?
00:55:23 -->
00:55:24
Wake up.
00:55:25 -->
00:55:26
Because
00:55:27 -->
00:55:29
Allah's anger will fall on you
00:55:31 -->
00:55:31
suddenly and
00:55:33 -->
00:55:34
he will finish you.
00:55:39 -->
00:55:40
Okay?
00:55:45 -->
00:55:48
So the believer, the one whom Allah loves,
00:55:50 -->
00:55:53
the moment this believer, he commits a sin,
00:55:54 -->
00:55:55
Allah
00:55:56 -->
00:55:57
lashes him.
00:56:00 -->
00:56:01
So to wake up,
00:56:02 -->
00:56:03
to come back.
00:56:06 -->
00:56:09
Repeats it, another laugh. Repeat, then I want
00:56:09 -->
00:56:09
to go.
00:56:11 -->
00:56:13
You fell off my eye.
00:56:19 -->
00:56:21
But if he loves you,
00:56:22 -->
00:56:23
he brings you back to him
00:56:24 -->
00:56:26
by stopping you, by
00:56:27 -->
00:56:30
putting you through exact tests so that you
00:56:30 -->
00:56:31
repent and refrain
00:56:32 -->
00:56:33
from indulging
00:56:34 -->
00:56:35
from indulging
00:56:35 -->
00:56:36
into sinfulness
00:56:37 -->
00:56:39
and the mild sins.
00:56:43 -->
00:56:45
So when they said,
00:56:47 -->
00:56:48
which of the 2 of us is better
00:56:48 -->
00:56:51
in status and superior in assembly?
00:56:52 -->
00:56:54
Allah answered them,
00:56:54 -->
00:56:56
telling them that is not the criteria.
00:56:56 -->
00:56:58
That's not the standard.
00:56:59 -->
00:57:01
That the standard is wrong, and that argument
00:57:02 -->
00:57:02
is false.
00:57:05 -->
00:57:08
So he reminded the believers,
00:57:11 -->
00:57:12
oh, Muhammad.
00:57:12 -->
00:57:13
Oh, prophet.
00:57:16 -->
00:57:18
How many nations, how many peoples
00:57:19 -->
00:57:20
we have destroyed
00:57:21 -->
00:57:22
before them?
00:57:24 -->
00:57:24
Before.
00:57:25 -->
00:57:26
Right?
00:57:27 -->
00:57:28
Samud,
00:57:28 -->
00:57:29
Iran.
00:57:29 -->
00:57:30
Name it.
00:57:41 -->
00:57:41
Far
00:57:42 -->
00:57:42
better
00:57:43 -->
00:57:43
in
00:57:44 -->
00:57:44
luxury,
00:57:45 -->
00:57:46
fortune,
00:57:46 -->
00:57:47
splendor.
00:57:49 -->
00:57:49
K?
00:57:51 -->
00:57:51
Gone.
00:57:56 -->
00:57:57
Finished. So one
00:57:58 -->
00:57:59
should not be misled
00:58:01 -->
00:58:03
by that.
00:58:03 -->
00:58:05
Those who preceded
00:58:05 -->
00:58:05
us,
00:58:06 -->
00:58:08
they had these things. They must be upon
00:58:08 -->
00:58:09
the truth.
00:58:09 -->
00:58:11
That's why the imam,
00:58:12 -->
00:58:12
and
00:58:14 -->
00:58:17
may Allah elevate his status in the Jannah,
00:58:17 -->
00:58:18
the higher
00:58:18 -->
00:58:21
places in the Jannah, when he wrote this
00:58:21 -->
00:58:22
beautiful book,
00:58:23 -->
00:58:24
which is amazing
00:58:25 -->
00:58:25
amazing
00:58:25 -->
00:58:26
book,
00:58:27 -->
00:58:28
tells you
00:58:29 -->
00:58:30
that all Muslims
00:58:31 -->
00:58:33
do not fall in this trap
00:58:34 -->
00:58:35
and emulate
00:58:36 -->
00:58:38
and follow the footsteps of the people of
00:58:38 -->
00:58:39
and
00:58:40 -->
00:58:42
use the same arguments
00:58:43 -->
00:58:43
they
00:58:48 -->
00:58:49
used. And another
00:58:51 -->
00:58:52
sect. And Surat Fathus,
00:58:53 -->
00:58:55
aya 44.
00:59:25 -->
00:59:26
Have they not traveled
00:59:27 -->
00:59:29
have they not traveled
00:59:30 -->
00:59:32
throughout the land to see what was the
00:59:32 -->
00:59:34
end of those destroyed
00:59:34 -->
00:59:35
before them?
00:59:36 -->
00:59:39
They were far superior in might and power,
00:59:40 -->
00:59:43
but there is nothing that can escape Allah
00:59:43 -->
00:59:45
in the heavens or the earth.
00:59:46 -->
00:59:47
He's certainly
00:59:48 -->
00:59:48
unknowing
00:59:49 -->
00:59:49
most
00:59:50 -->
00:59:50
capable.
00:59:52 -->
00:59:53
Now
00:59:54 -->
00:59:56
let us pause and reflect.
01:00:01 -->
01:00:02
I wanna miss you.
01:00:05 -->
01:00:07
Allah wants us to ponder,
01:00:09 -->
01:00:10
deduce lessons
01:00:12 -->
01:00:14
from what happened to the previous
01:00:15 -->
01:00:15
nations.
01:00:17 -->
01:00:19
You see, they're ruins only.
01:00:22 -->
01:00:23
One day,
01:00:24 -->
01:00:26
that place was
01:00:27 -->
01:00:27
vibrant.
01:00:31 -->
01:00:32
There were people living there.
01:00:34 -->
01:00:36
The curious life.
01:00:37 -->
01:00:37
Splendor.
01:00:40 -->
01:00:42
Magnificent palaces.
01:00:46 -->
01:00:47
Where are they?
01:00:48 -->
01:00:51
Only bones are there.
01:00:52 -->
01:00:53
Roatan bones,
01:00:54 -->
01:00:54
decayed
01:00:55 -->
01:00:56
bones, and ruins.
01:01:08 -->
01:01:10
Have they not traveled?
01:01:10 -->
01:01:13
So out the land to see
01:01:14 -->
01:01:15
to see.
01:01:17 -->
01:01:18
They under rule.
01:01:22 -->
01:01:23
Not for the sake of
01:01:25 -->
01:01:26
seeing. No.
01:01:27 -->
01:01:29
Means here to ponder, to reflect,
01:01:32 -->
01:01:33
to deduce lessons,
01:01:38 -->
01:01:40
and to say to yourself,
01:01:41 -->
01:01:42
this what happened to them
01:01:44 -->
01:01:45
When they became rebellious,
01:01:47 -->
01:01:50
when they turned away from a large way.
01:01:52 -->
01:01:53
So if we
01:01:54 -->
01:01:54
continue
01:01:55 -->
01:01:57
doing what they were doing,
01:01:58 -->
01:02:01
what happened to them, what happened to us.
01:02:04 -->
01:02:06
Do you think what you are seeing nowadays,
01:02:11 -->
01:02:12
K?
01:02:13 -->
01:02:14
This nonsense,
01:02:14 -->
01:02:15
this corruption.
01:02:20 -->
01:02:21
Allah is watching.
01:02:24 -->
01:02:24
And
01:02:25 -->
01:02:28
if people, they don't wake up
01:02:28 -->
01:02:29
and come back,
01:02:33 -->
01:02:34
Allah will destroy them.
01:02:37 -->
01:02:39
What holds our
01:02:40 -->
01:02:41
Allah's wrath and anger
01:02:42 -->
01:02:43
could are good people.
01:02:46 -->
01:02:46
Good people.
01:02:51 -->
01:02:53
Crying day and night.
01:02:54 -->
01:02:56
Oh, Allah, save us.
01:03:02 -->
01:03:03
But when
01:03:03 -->
01:03:04
corruption
01:03:06 -->
01:03:07
is widespread,
01:03:12 -->
01:03:12
Allah
01:03:13 -->
01:03:14
destroyed all,
01:03:15 -->
01:03:17
including the righteous with them.
01:03:22 -->
01:03:24
Our mother, Aisha, said,
01:03:31 -->
01:03:33
Is it possible that we will be
01:03:34 -->
01:03:37
destroyed while we have pious people among us?
01:03:37 -->
01:03:38
He said, yes.
01:03:40 -->
01:03:40
None.
01:03:46 -->
01:03:47
With corruption,
01:03:47 -->
01:03:48
moral corruption
01:03:48 -->
01:03:49
is dominant,
01:03:50 -->
01:03:50
widespread.
01:03:53 -->
01:03:54
Then Allah destroys
01:03:54 -->
01:03:57
all, and then everyone will be resurrected
01:03:58 -->
01:03:59
according to his.
01:04:04 -->
01:04:06
So that's why
01:04:08 -->
01:04:09
fighting
01:04:12 -->
01:04:13
the immorality,
01:04:15 -->
01:04:15
the
01:04:16 -->
01:04:17
works
01:04:17 -->
01:04:19
of the people of Lod
01:04:19 -->
01:04:19
is
01:04:21 -->
01:04:21
mandatory
01:04:22 -->
01:04:24
upon all believers
01:04:25 -->
01:04:27
to stand against it.
01:04:29 -->
01:04:30
Accepting it,
01:04:31 -->
01:04:32
keeping quiet about it,
01:04:34 -->
01:04:35
This will
01:04:35 -->
01:04:35
hasten
01:04:38 -->
01:04:40
Allah's anger and punishment.
01:04:51 -->
01:04:53
I was inviting us
01:04:54 -->
01:04:55
to travel the land
01:04:57 -->
01:04:58
and see what happened
01:04:59 -->
01:05:00
to those who
01:05:01 -->
01:05:04
became rebellious, who rejected his guidance.
01:05:13 -->
01:05:14
What was
01:05:15 -->
01:05:15
the ultimate
01:05:17 -->
01:05:20
end and result and what happened to them?
01:05:23 -->
01:05:25
Allah destroyed it.
01:05:26 -->
01:05:26
Them.
01:05:36 -->
01:05:38
If you are saying,
01:05:38 -->
01:05:42
oh, we are powerful, they were more powerful
01:05:42 -->
01:05:43
than you.
01:05:45 -->
01:05:46
I'll just try them.
01:05:48 -->
01:05:49
See the pharaohs.
01:05:51 -->
01:05:53
See the pediments they constructed,
01:05:55 -->
01:05:56
which is
01:05:57 -->
01:05:58
a little
01:05:58 -->
01:05:59
mystery
01:05:59 -->
01:06:02
for the people, for the technology we have.
01:06:03 -->
01:06:05
With this sophisticated
01:06:05 -->
01:06:05
technology,
01:06:07 -->
01:06:09
they cannot build a pyramid like these pyramids.
01:06:13 -->
01:06:13
K.
01:06:16 -->
01:06:17
When
01:06:18 -->
01:06:19
there were no tools
01:06:21 -->
01:06:22
like the tools you have today.
01:06:28 -->
01:06:29
We were far superior
01:06:30 -->
01:06:32
in might and power.
01:06:34 -->
01:06:35
Then Allah said,
01:06:46 -->
01:06:48
Nothing is difficult for Allah.
01:06:49 -->
01:06:51
And nothing kind of escapes
01:06:52 -->
01:06:54
from Allah's punishment. Nothing.
01:07:01 -->
01:07:04
There's nothing that can escape Allah. The heavens
01:07:04 -->
01:07:05
or the earth?
01:07:09 -->
01:07:10
He's a kawhi,
01:07:11 -->
01:07:13
al Aziz, the almighty,
01:07:14 -->
01:07:15
the most powerful.
01:07:18 -->
01:07:21
When he wants something, he says to it,
01:07:21 -->
01:07:21
be,
01:07:22 -->
01:07:23
and it is.
01:07:25 -->
01:07:26
That's it.
01:07:31 -->
01:07:32
He wants to destroy
01:07:32 -->
01:07:33
a country.
01:07:35 -->
01:07:35
Just command
01:07:36 -->
01:07:37
to the sea.
01:07:38 -->
01:07:39
Tidal waves.
01:07:41 -->
01:07:43
All the country is swallowed underwater.
01:07:47 -->
01:07:48
Underwater?
01:07:49 -->
01:07:50
See today
01:07:50 -->
01:07:51
in the news today,
01:07:53 -->
01:07:55
the the fire in the forest,
01:07:55 -->
01:07:57
and people are running, running, running.
01:08:00 -->
01:08:01
Nothing. Just
01:08:02 -->
01:08:04
just set the the the forest on fire.
01:08:07 -->
01:08:07
Okay?
01:08:09 -->
01:08:10
Heat increases,
01:08:12 -->
01:08:13
Fire takes place.
01:08:16 -->
01:08:17
Human being is nothing.
01:08:19 -->
01:08:21
So frail, so weak,
01:08:22 -->
01:08:24
but he's elegant human being
01:08:25 -->
01:08:26
and has big tongue
01:08:27 -->
01:08:28
talking.
01:08:29 -->
01:08:29
He's nothing.
01:08:35 -->
01:08:37
I want to set tell a volcano.
01:08:41 -->
01:08:41
Finish.
01:08:42 -->
01:08:43
Okay?
01:08:44 -->
01:08:45
The lava
01:08:46 -->
01:08:47
will
01:08:47 -->
01:08:49
make everyone to run away.
01:08:51 -->
01:08:53
Tell the earth, shake.
01:08:55 -->
01:08:57
Oh, these skyscrapers
01:08:58 -->
01:08:58
will be
01:09:00 -->
01:09:01
like the dominoes.
01:09:03 -->
01:09:03
Stones.
01:09:08 -->
01:09:10
I think it's difficult for Allah.
01:09:11 -->
01:09:12
We are nothing.
01:09:12 -->
01:09:14
We are so weak.
01:09:17 -->
01:09:19
So that's why we have to
01:09:20 -->
01:09:21
come back to Allah.
01:09:21 -->
01:09:23
Come back to Allah.
01:09:42 -->
01:09:43
Why is Alim?
01:09:45 -->
01:09:46
All knowing.
01:09:48 -->
01:09:49
Badi is most capable.
01:09:51 -->
01:09:53
Also, let's is in Surat Kahf.
01:10:01 -->
01:10:02
See, this ayat,
01:10:04 -->
01:10:06
refutes the claim of the people of Jahiliya
01:10:08 -->
01:10:11
who said, these nations came before us. They
01:10:11 -->
01:10:12
were powerful
01:10:13 -->
01:10:14
and,
01:10:14 -->
01:10:15
having fortune,
01:10:16 -->
01:10:18
have splendor, have luxury, and
01:10:19 -->
01:10:20
so they must learn the truth.
01:10:21 -->
01:10:23
No. I will say, stealing us. No. No.
01:10:23 -->
01:10:25
No. No. They're not to be fooled.
01:10:26 -->
01:10:27
They became rebellious,
01:10:28 -->
01:10:29
and they were ungrateful,
01:10:30 -->
01:10:33
and see what happened to them.
01:10:34 -->
01:10:36
So don't take them as an example,
01:10:36 -->
01:10:38
and don't follow the footsteps,
01:10:40 -->
01:10:43
and don't follow their footsteps.
01:10:44 -->
01:10:47
We'll pause and stop at this point,
01:10:48 -->
01:10:48
and
01:10:49 -->
01:10:50
continue this week.
01:10:52 -->
01:10:54
May Allah save us from going back on
01:10:54 -->
01:10:55
our heels.
01:10:56 -->
01:10:57
May Allah
01:10:58 -->
01:10:59
save us from going astray.
01:11:00 -->
01:11:01
May Allah
01:11:02 -->
01:11:04
keep us to remain steadfast.
01:11:06 -->
01:11:08
On this beautiful deen until we meet our
01:11:08 -->
01:11:10
Lord and find him pleased with all of
01:11:10 -->
01:11:11
us. I mean,
01:11:12 -->
01:11:14
may Allah forgive us all false mistakes and
01:11:14 -->
01:11:14
ignorance.
01:11:15 -->
01:11:16
And may Allah
01:11:17 -->
01:11:18
unite our
01:11:18 -->
01:11:20
and unite our hearts in the heart.
01:11:21 -->
01:11:22
And may Allah reward all of you, my
01:11:22 -->
01:11:25
dear brothers and sisters immensely, for your patience
01:11:25 -->
01:11:25
and attendance.
01:11:36 -->
01:11:38
With your permission, if you would like to
01:11:38 -->
01:11:40
move on to the question and answer.
01:11:42 -->
01:11:42
Inshallah.
01:11:43 -->
01:11:44
So the first
01:11:45 -->
01:11:46
You'll post the question,
01:11:49 -->
01:11:50
The first question,
01:11:50 -->
01:11:52
how should I lift a close family member
01:11:52 -->
01:11:53
out of depression?
01:11:54 -->
01:11:56
They are blessed with everything, but they are
01:11:56 -->
01:11:57
still imprisoned by their sadness.
01:11:59 -->
01:12:00
Pardon me. Just,
01:12:03 -->
01:12:04
how should
01:12:25 -->
01:12:26
How should I
01:12:27 -->
01:12:30
lift a close family member out of depression?
01:12:32 -->
01:12:34
They are blessed
01:12:34 -->
01:12:35
with everything,
01:12:36 -->
01:12:39
but they are imprisoned by their sadness.
01:12:40 -->
01:12:41
Well,
01:12:42 -->
01:12:43
Allah says,
01:13:02 -->
01:13:04
So my dear brothers and sisters,
01:13:06 -->
01:13:06
anyone
01:13:07 -->
01:13:09
who is far away from Allah's way,
01:13:11 -->
01:13:14
far away from Allah, the of Allah.
01:13:20 -->
01:13:21
He's going to have
01:13:22 -->
01:13:24
this miserable life.
01:13:25 -->
01:13:27
He will feel he is his chest is
01:13:27 -->
01:13:28
squeezed,
01:13:30 -->
01:13:30
constructed,
01:13:32 -->
01:13:32
narrowed,
01:13:33 -->
01:13:34
miserable life.
01:13:35 -->
01:13:37
Why? Because he's away
01:13:39 -->
01:13:41
from connecting with a lie.
01:13:43 -->
01:13:44
Money
01:13:44 -->
01:13:44
saying,
01:13:46 -->
01:13:47
they are,
01:13:48 -->
01:13:50
blessed with everything. Yes.
01:13:53 -->
01:13:54
Fortune, money,
01:13:55 -->
01:13:57
richness will not bring you happiness.
01:13:58 -->
01:13:59
Oh,
01:14:04 -->
01:14:04
there was
01:14:06 -->
01:14:07
an actress, I think,
01:14:08 -->
01:14:11
something I forgot her name. Something that could
01:14:11 -->
01:14:13
maybe Monroe or something.
01:14:16 -->
01:14:17
She was very rich,
01:14:20 -->
01:14:20
but she was
01:14:22 -->
01:14:23
searching for happiness.
01:14:27 -->
01:14:29
And she didn't find happiness.
01:14:30 -->
01:14:32
Even she married a communist husband
01:14:33 -->
01:14:35
thinking that she will be happy.
01:14:36 -->
01:14:37
And finally,
01:14:37 -->
01:14:38
they found her
01:14:39 -->
01:14:41
dead. She killed herself.
01:14:42 -->
01:14:44
Money will not bring you happiness.
01:14:47 -->
01:14:49
Alcohol will not bring you happiness.
01:14:50 -->
01:14:50
Will
01:14:51 -->
01:14:52
not bring you happiness.
01:14:53 -->
01:14:56
What will bring you happiness when you disconnects
01:14:57 -->
01:14:58
with Allah.
01:15:01 -->
01:15:01
Blessings.
01:15:03 -->
01:15:05
You want happiness? Come back to Allah.
01:15:08 -->
01:15:10
A person who is connected with Allah, no
01:15:10 -->
01:15:11
depression.
01:15:13 -->
01:15:16
A person who is engaged in the dikr
01:15:16 -->
01:15:19
and remembrance of Allah, no depression, no sadness.
01:15:25 -->
01:15:27
Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah,
01:15:28 -->
01:15:29
the hearts, they find
01:15:30 -->
01:15:30
serenity,
01:15:32 -->
01:15:32
happiness.
01:15:35 -->
01:15:37
So my advice,
01:15:37 -->
01:15:39
tell this member, mem
01:15:39 -->
01:15:40
family member
01:15:41 -->
01:15:42
to come to Allah.
01:15:45 -->
01:15:47
Strengthen your relationship with Allah.
01:15:49 -->
01:15:51
If you are not praying, start praying.
01:15:52 -->
01:15:55
If you are eating haram, leave the haram.
01:15:56 -->
01:15:58
If you are dealing with river, leave the
01:15:58 -->
01:15:58
river.
01:16:01 -->
01:16:02
Correct yourself
01:16:04 -->
01:16:06
and then turn to Allah
01:16:06 -->
01:16:08
and you will see the result immediately.
01:16:10 -->
01:16:11
You come to Allah,
01:16:12 -->
01:16:12
Allah
01:16:15 -->
01:16:17
will make you feel happy,
01:16:17 -->
01:16:20
will remove that sadness which you have.
01:16:25 -->
01:16:25
1,
01:16:29 -->
01:16:30
Richmond in America,
01:16:31 -->
01:16:32
very wealthy.
01:16:35 -->
01:16:36
So
01:16:41 -->
01:16:43
he wanted to become a Muslim.
01:16:44 -->
01:16:45
So one of the dua,
01:16:47 -->
01:16:48
Sheikh Mohammed Hassan from
01:16:49 -->
01:16:50
Egypt.
01:16:50 -->
01:16:53
He was in America. So they said, Sheikh,
01:16:54 -->
01:16:56
there is this man who is a well
01:16:56 -->
01:16:57
off rich
01:16:57 -->
01:16:58
person,
01:16:58 -->
01:17:00
and he wants to become a Muslim. So
01:17:00 -->
01:17:01
we want you to
01:17:02 -->
01:17:04
let him allow him to sit next to
01:17:04 -->
01:17:04
you
01:17:05 -->
01:17:06
on the platform.
01:17:08 -->
01:17:08
And
01:17:10 -->
01:17:11
then
01:17:11 -->
01:17:11
the sheikh
01:17:12 -->
01:17:14
asked him to say the shahada.
01:17:21 -->
01:17:23
The moment he finished saying the shahada,
01:17:24 -->
01:17:25
he
01:17:25 -->
01:17:26
burst
01:17:26 -->
01:17:28
into tears, crying,
01:17:29 -->
01:17:30
crying like a baby.
01:17:33 -->
01:17:36
The sheikh said, leave let him cry. Let
01:17:36 -->
01:17:37
him cry,
01:17:38 -->
01:17:39
and he cried and cried.
01:17:42 -->
01:17:43
When he finished,
01:17:44 -->
01:17:45
the Sheikh asked,
01:17:46 -->
01:17:47
why did you cry?
01:17:50 -->
01:17:52
He said, because I felt happy,
01:17:53 -->
01:17:53
happy.
01:17:55 -->
01:17:57
The happiness that I was searching for for
01:17:57 -->
01:18:00
years, I found it. So that's why I
01:18:00 -->
01:18:01
tried.
01:18:03 -->
01:18:04
Fresh.
01:18:05 -->
01:18:07
Happiness in the iman, my dear brothers and
01:18:07 -->
01:18:10
sisters. That's it in a nutshell.
01:18:12 -->
01:18:13
No iman,
01:18:13 -->
01:18:14
misery,
01:18:16 -->
01:18:16
depression,
01:18:20 -->
01:18:23
vacuum, spiritual vacuum inside.
01:18:25 -->
01:18:26
You don't know what to do.
01:18:27 -->
01:18:30
You try to feel there's something hollow within
01:18:30 -->
01:18:32
you. You want to fill it. Fill it
01:18:32 -->
01:18:33
with what? With drugs.
01:18:34 -->
01:18:34
Women
01:18:36 -->
01:18:36
watching *.
01:18:37 -->
01:18:38
What is it?
01:18:38 -->
01:18:40
Nothing will help you.
01:18:43 -->
01:18:43
All
01:18:44 -->
01:18:47
these things will make your situation worse and
01:18:47 -->
01:18:47
worse.
01:18:48 -->
01:18:50
Just like a person who's very thirsty,
01:18:51 -->
01:18:53
and he's drinking sea water.
01:18:54 -->
01:18:55
Sea water is so salty,
01:18:56 -->
01:18:58
will not quench your thirst.
01:18:59 -->
01:19:02
You'll become more thirsty, more thirst.
01:19:04 -->
01:19:05
So may Allah
01:19:07 -->
01:19:10
guide this Muslim member, this Muslim,
01:19:12 -->
01:19:13
of your family
01:19:14 -->
01:19:14
member.
01:19:15 -->
01:19:16
May Allah
01:19:16 -->
01:19:18
guide him or guide her
01:19:18 -->
01:19:20
and bring them to Allah
01:19:21 -->
01:19:23
and strengthen their iman.
01:19:24 -->
01:19:25
Ameen.
01:19:25 -->
01:19:26
Next question, please.
01:19:28 -->
01:19:28
Amin,
01:19:29 -->
01:19:30
The next question.
01:19:31 -->
01:19:33
Which are the best days to fast this
01:19:33 -->
01:19:34
week, month of Muharram?
01:19:36 -->
01:19:39
Coming, Thursday Friday. Joshua and Ashura.
01:19:42 -->
01:19:45
Joshua, the 9th and the and the 10th.
01:19:47 -->
01:19:49
So it should fall on Thursday
01:19:49 -->
01:19:50
Friday.
01:19:52 -->
01:19:53
Joshua and
01:19:54 -->
01:19:55
Prophet
01:19:59 -->
01:20:00
said that
01:20:01 -->
01:20:03
because the prophet when he arrived in Medina,
01:20:04 -->
01:20:07
he found that the Jews were fasting,
01:20:07 -->
01:20:09
Shulah, the tenth of.
01:20:10 -->
01:20:11
So he asked
01:20:13 -->
01:20:14
the reason why they fast.
01:20:15 -->
01:20:17
They told him this is the day Allah,
01:20:19 -->
01:20:19
delivered,
01:20:20 -->
01:20:22
saved them from the pharaoh.
01:20:22 -->
01:20:24
So the Jews are fasting
01:20:25 -->
01:20:27
on that day to thank Allah. So he
01:20:27 -->
01:20:29
said, indeed, we are closer to Musa alaihi
01:20:29 -->
01:20:30
salaam than you.
01:20:31 -->
01:20:33
And he told the Muslim to fast it.
01:20:33 -->
01:20:34
But then he said,
01:20:39 -->
01:20:40
If I live until next year,
01:20:41 -->
01:20:43
I will fast the 9th 10th.
01:20:44 -->
01:20:45
The 9th
01:20:45 -->
01:20:48
10th to be different from the Jews.
01:20:49 -->
01:20:52
So that is what the sunnah of the.
01:20:53 -->
01:20:56
Some of the have said, if you didn't
01:20:56 -->
01:20:57
manage to fast
01:20:57 -->
01:21:00
the 9th, you can't fast the 10th and
01:21:00 -->
01:21:00
the 11th
01:21:01 -->
01:21:02
and the 11th
01:21:02 -->
01:21:04
just for to be different from
01:21:05 -->
01:21:06
the juice.
01:21:06 -->
01:21:08
And if you fast only,
01:21:09 -->
01:21:12
10th, that's fine. But because 10th will fall
01:21:12 -->
01:21:13
on Friday,
01:21:14 -->
01:21:16
and we are not allowed to fast on
01:21:16 -->
01:21:17
Friday.
01:21:17 -->
01:21:19
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
01:21:39 -->
01:21:41
Next question, please.
01:21:42 -->
01:21:43
The next question.
01:21:44 -->
01:21:47
Allah prohibits us from taking nonbelievers as close
01:21:47 -->
01:21:47
friends
01:21:48 -->
01:21:50
or. What kind of love is that?
01:21:51 -->
01:21:52
The love of the,
01:21:54 -->
01:21:56
what we call the,
01:21:58 -->
01:21:58
to take them
01:21:59 -->
01:22:02
very close to you, confined in them,
01:22:03 -->
01:22:03
you,
01:22:05 -->
01:22:07
support them against the Muslims, etcetera.
01:22:08 -->
01:22:10
So that is why the prophet
01:22:11 -->
01:22:11
said,
01:22:15 -->
01:22:16
your inner circles,
01:22:17 -->
01:22:19
those who are very close to you should
01:22:19 -->
01:22:20
be only believers.
01:22:21 -->
01:22:23
Those whom you can confide in them,
01:22:24 -->
01:22:27
and they can guide you and remind you
01:22:27 -->
01:22:28
and,
01:22:29 -->
01:22:31
help you to improve your iman. But if
01:22:31 -->
01:22:32
you are surrounded by
01:22:33 -->
01:22:34
bunch of the,
01:22:37 -->
01:22:37
They were
01:22:39 -->
01:22:40
are they going to tell you,
01:22:41 -->
01:22:43
oh, this time for prayer. Go and pray.
01:22:47 -->
01:22:48
They will not tell you this.
01:22:50 -->
01:22:51
They tell you,
01:22:52 -->
01:22:53
man, let's go tonight
01:22:54 -->
01:22:55
to the
01:22:55 -->
01:22:56
nightclub.
01:22:58 -->
01:23:00
Let's go to the pub. That's what they
01:23:00 -->
01:23:01
will tell you.
01:23:03 -->
01:23:04
So what you need, you need
01:23:05 -->
01:23:08
believers around you. That's what the prophet said.
01:23:10 -->
01:23:11
So
01:23:13 -->
01:23:15
be friend only believers,
01:23:16 -->
01:23:18
your friends, those who are around you.
01:23:20 -->
01:23:22
And your food should be only eaten by
01:23:22 -->
01:23:23
the righteous.
01:23:24 -->
01:23:26
Those who will keep visiting you, your brothers,
01:23:27 -->
01:23:28
or
01:23:28 -->
01:23:31
for you. And your children, they will grow
01:23:31 -->
01:23:33
up only seeing uncle so and so, uncle
01:23:33 -->
01:23:35
so and so, uncle so and so.
01:23:36 -->
01:23:37
When the
01:23:37 -->
01:23:40
the children, they come to
01:23:40 -->
01:23:43
sitting room, they this uncle asked them, oh,
01:23:43 -->
01:23:45
how much of the Quran do you have
01:23:45 -->
01:23:46
you memorized? That's
01:23:48 -->
01:23:50
what the prophet said.
01:23:50 -->
01:23:53
Those whom you fight for your food are
01:23:53 -->
01:23:53
the believers.
01:23:54 -->
01:23:57
So your children, they grow up seeing pious
01:23:57 -->
01:23:58
people.
01:23:58 -->
01:24:00
They don't grow up seeing
01:24:02 -->
01:24:03
foul around you,
01:24:04 -->
01:24:07
or maybe you are also bringing them to
01:24:07 -->
01:24:08
your home, to your house,
01:24:09 -->
01:24:12
and you drink alcohol in your home
01:24:13 -->
01:24:14
with them.
01:24:16 -->
01:24:18
K? So that's why
01:24:19 -->
01:24:19
your
01:24:20 -->
01:24:24
brothers, your friends, those around you should be
01:24:24 -->
01:24:24
believers.
01:24:25 -->
01:24:27
Does this mean we have to be harsh
01:24:27 -->
01:24:27
with other
01:24:28 -->
01:24:30
people that non believers? No.
01:24:31 -->
01:24:33
We are kind. We treat them
01:24:34 -->
01:24:35
as human beings,
01:24:36 -->
01:24:37
but they are not,
01:24:38 -->
01:24:39
okay,
01:24:39 -->
01:24:41
close to the heart. Those who are close
01:24:41 -->
01:24:43
to my heart are the believers only.
01:24:44 -->
01:24:45
K? But
01:24:46 -->
01:24:48
we have to exhibit the,
01:24:49 -->
01:24:52
the Islamic character and the moral Islamic,
01:24:53 -->
01:24:56
moral values, and we have to be
01:24:57 -->
01:24:57
kind
01:24:58 -->
01:25:00
and respect them and talk to them
01:25:00 -->
01:25:01
politely
01:25:02 -->
01:25:04
so that they will hoping that
01:25:05 -->
01:25:06
they will
01:25:06 -->
01:25:07
accept Islam.
01:25:08 -->
01:25:09
Accept Islam.
01:25:11 -->
01:25:12
Next question, please.
01:25:15 -->
01:25:16
The next question.
01:25:16 -->
01:25:19
Is it a must to hasten the dead
01:25:19 -->
01:25:20
for burial?
01:25:21 -->
01:25:22
The answer, yes.
01:25:23 -->
01:25:24
The prophet
01:25:25 -->
01:25:26
told us to hasten
01:25:27 -->
01:25:29
the burial of the dead person
01:25:29 -->
01:25:30
immediately.
01:25:30 -->
01:25:31
Try to
01:25:32 -->
01:25:34
we should not delay the burial.
01:25:34 -->
01:25:35
Next
01:25:40 -->
01:25:41
question.
01:25:44 -->
01:25:46
What is the ruling of an illegitimate child
01:25:46 -->
01:25:47
to be an imam?
01:25:54 -->
01:25:55
K. He's illegitimate.
01:25:56 -->
01:25:57
That's not his problem.
01:25:59 -->
01:26:01
K. So now he's an imam.
01:26:01 -->
01:26:02
He go up
01:26:03 -->
01:26:03
as
01:26:04 -->
01:26:04
Muslim.
01:26:05 -->
01:26:08
And so he's leading the salah. What's the
01:26:08 -->
01:26:09
problem?
01:26:09 -->
01:26:11
Or he's a. What's the problem?
01:26:13 -->
01:26:16
That the the mistake is not his
01:26:17 -->
01:26:18
his parents,
01:26:19 -->
01:26:19
his mother,
01:26:20 -->
01:26:21
k, or his father,
01:26:22 -->
01:26:24
not not his father.
01:26:27 -->
01:26:28
Next.
01:26:31 -->
01:26:34
How can we avoid this trait of Jahiliyyah?
01:26:36 -->
01:26:37
The traits we discussed today?
01:26:39 -->
01:26:39
Yes.
01:26:40 -->
01:26:41
There is
01:26:42 -->
01:26:42
knowledge.
01:26:43 -->
01:26:44
We have to
01:26:45 -->
01:26:47
learn our Islam
01:26:50 -->
01:26:52
and follow what Allah says.
01:26:54 -->
01:26:54
K?
01:26:55 -->
01:26:56
We follow
01:26:57 -->
01:26:58
what almost is.
01:26:59 -->
01:27:02
We don't follow the Jahiliya. We don't follow
01:27:02 -->
01:27:02
the,
01:27:04 -->
01:27:04
characters
01:27:05 -->
01:27:05
and the
01:27:06 -->
01:27:09
traits and qualities of people of ignorance. No.
01:27:10 -->
01:27:12
We follow the footsteps of the prophet.
01:27:23 -->
01:27:24
Next question.
01:27:28 -->
01:27:30
Barak Lafiq, the next question.
01:27:30 -->
01:27:32
What do you mean, dear Sheikh, by saying
01:27:32 -->
01:27:35
that the technology of today cannot enable builders
01:27:35 -->
01:27:37
to recreate the pyramids of history?
01:27:37 -->
01:27:39
I thought the I AI technology is very
01:27:39 -->
01:27:42
advanced and is capable of much, or is
01:27:42 -->
01:27:43
it that the creators of these pyramids were
01:27:43 -->
01:27:45
human beings with lofty statues?
01:27:46 -->
01:27:47
Let us see.
01:27:49 -->
01:27:51
Let the eye AI
01:27:52 -->
01:27:52
build
01:27:53 -->
01:27:55
elements like the elements in Egypt.
01:27:57 -->
01:27:58
K?
01:27:59 -->
01:28:01
We should not idolize that
01:28:01 -->
01:28:02
artificial intelligence.
01:28:04 -->
01:28:05
K?
01:28:09 -->
01:28:11
The, we are in 21st century,
01:28:13 -->
01:28:13
and
01:28:16 -->
01:28:19
all attempts and no one managed to construct
01:28:20 -->
01:28:21
the that
01:28:22 -->
01:28:24
like the ones in Egypt
01:28:25 -->
01:28:26
because the
01:28:27 -->
01:28:27
mathematics
01:28:28 -->
01:28:30
used there is so complex.
01:28:31 -->
01:28:33
They will advance the Egyptian in mathematics.
01:28:37 -->
01:28:37
K?
01:28:40 -->
01:28:41
And how they managed to
01:28:42 -->
01:28:45
elevate and raise all these
01:28:48 -->
01:28:49
huge stones.
01:28:53 -->
01:28:55
And all these very much, you know, that
01:28:55 -->
01:28:56
they are
01:28:57 -->
01:28:58
graves.
01:28:58 -->
01:28:59
They are tombs,
01:29:00 -->
01:29:01
actually,
01:29:01 -->
01:29:04
for the kings of the Egyptian
01:29:05 -->
01:29:05
kings.
01:29:07 -->
01:29:08
K?
01:29:08 -->
01:29:09
So
01:29:09 -->
01:29:10
these nations,
01:29:11 -->
01:29:12
k,
01:29:13 -->
01:29:14
they were advanced,
01:29:16 -->
01:29:17
and they had,
01:29:18 -->
01:29:19
okay,
01:29:21 -->
01:29:22
marvelous skills
01:29:23 -->
01:29:24
marvelous skills.
01:29:27 -->
01:29:28
Till today,
01:29:29 -->
01:29:31
no one knows the secret
01:29:32 -->
01:29:34
of the old Egyptians
01:29:35 -->
01:29:36
about the mummification,
01:29:39 -->
01:29:40
how they
01:29:40 -->
01:29:41
mummify
01:29:43 -->
01:29:46
for 1,000 and 1,000 and 1,000 of years,
01:29:47 -->
01:29:48
the mummies.
01:29:50 -->
01:29:50
K?
01:29:51 -->
01:29:52
Next question.
01:29:55 -->
01:29:56
The next question.
01:29:57 -->
01:29:59
What is your advice for a parent who
01:29:59 -->
01:30:02
has saved money for her son through regular
01:30:02 -->
01:30:03
payments into accounts,
01:30:03 -->
01:30:05
but has neglected to do that for her
01:30:05 -->
01:30:07
3 daughters who are now fully grown adults.
01:30:08 -->
01:30:10
The parent did not do this purposefully,
01:30:10 -->
01:30:12
but now is it seems to be favoritism
01:30:12 -->
01:30:15
to the daughters. Oh, this is parents make
01:30:15 -->
01:30:16
things equitable.
01:30:17 -->
01:30:19
This is just, mini election. It's not a
01:30:19 -->
01:30:20
question.
01:30:22 -->
01:30:22
Okay?
01:30:24 -->
01:30:25
My dear
01:30:26 -->
01:30:26
questioners,
01:30:28 -->
01:30:30
many times I asked
01:30:30 -->
01:30:33
I like short questions and sweet ones.
01:30:35 -->
01:30:36
K.
01:30:37 -->
01:30:38
Straight to the point.
01:30:39 -->
01:30:40
Straight to the point.
01:30:42 -->
01:30:45
Okay. What do you advise a parent who
01:30:45 -->
01:30:49
saved money for her son through regular payments
01:30:49 -->
01:30:50
into accounts
01:30:51 -->
01:30:53
but neglected to do that for
01:30:54 -->
01:30:57
her 3 daughters who are now fully grown
01:30:57 -->
01:30:58
adults?
01:30:58 -->
01:31:02
The parent did not do this purposefully, but
01:31:02 -->
01:31:04
now it seems to be,
01:31:05 -->
01:31:06
favoritism
01:31:07 -->
01:31:09
to the daughters. How can the parent make
01:31:09 -->
01:31:10
things?
01:31:10 -->
01:31:12
In a nutshell, we have to be equal
01:31:12 -->
01:31:13
to all children.
01:31:14 -->
01:31:15
Equal.
01:31:16 -->
01:31:18
So what you give to 1 child, give
01:31:18 -->
01:31:19
to that one.
01:31:22 -->
01:31:23
K.
01:31:24 -->
01:31:27
A woman at the time of the prophet
01:31:27 -->
01:31:28
told her husband,
01:31:31 -->
01:31:33
I want you to write,
01:31:36 -->
01:31:38
something in the name of my child,
01:31:41 -->
01:31:42
and I want the prophet
01:31:43 -->
01:31:44
to approve of it,
01:31:45 -->
01:31:46
to witness that,
01:31:47 -->
01:31:48
certify it.
01:31:49 -->
01:31:51
So the father went and said, I want
01:31:51 -->
01:31:52
to give my son this much.
01:31:54 -->
01:31:55
So the prophet
01:31:55 -->
01:31:57
asked him, did you give all your children
01:31:57 -->
01:31:59
the same? He said, no.
01:32:01 -->
01:32:02
So he said,
01:32:03 -->
01:32:05
okay. I cannot approve of it.
01:32:07 -->
01:32:08
Look for somebody else,
01:32:09 -->
01:32:09
not me.
01:32:11 -->
01:32:13
Don't you want them to be
01:32:14 -->
01:32:17
obedient to you and dutiful to you?
01:32:18 -->
01:32:19
Said yes.
01:32:19 -->
01:32:21
Then he said, be fair to all of
01:32:21 -->
01:32:22
them.
01:32:23 -->
01:32:26
So my dear brothers and sisters, be fair
01:32:26 -->
01:32:27
to all your children.
01:32:27 -->
01:32:28
Next question, please.
01:32:31 -->
01:32:32
The next question.
01:32:32 -->
01:32:34
Is it permissible to meet the opposite gender
01:32:34 -->
01:32:36
online and talk to them in hopes of
01:32:36 -->
01:32:37
leading to marriage?
01:32:51 -->
01:32:54
Is it permissible to meet the opposite gender
01:32:54 -->
01:32:56
online and talk to them in house?
01:32:58 -->
01:33:01
Okay. Of it leading to money.
01:33:01 -->
01:33:03
Not not permissible.
01:33:05 -->
01:33:06
This will lead
01:33:07 -->
01:33:09
to boyfriend and girlfriend.
01:33:10 -->
01:33:12
This will lead to Zena.
01:33:13 -->
01:33:14
I am open.
01:33:15 -->
01:33:16
I warn you.
01:33:20 -->
01:33:21
I'm telling the sisters,
01:33:23 -->
01:33:23
be
01:33:23 -->
01:33:25
careful, be careful,
01:33:25 -->
01:33:26
be careful.
01:33:27 -->
01:33:29
Don't trust men.
01:33:30 -->
01:33:32
You'll just be pulling your leg,
01:33:34 -->
01:33:35
telling
01:33:35 -->
01:33:37
you, trust me, sister.
01:33:39 -->
01:33:40
I am
01:33:40 -->
01:33:44
honest person. I am looking for,
01:33:46 -->
01:33:48
a maid, but we need to understand each
01:33:48 -->
01:33:49
other.
01:33:53 -->
01:33:54
And now
01:33:55 -->
01:33:56
maybe just before
01:33:57 -->
01:33:58
you are just talking
01:33:59 -->
01:33:59
audio,
01:34:00 -->
01:34:01
then he will tell you,
01:34:01 -->
01:34:03
can you switch on the webcam?
01:34:06 -->
01:34:07
Okay.
01:34:08 -->
01:34:10
And you're wearing the hijab.
01:34:11 -->
01:34:12
Can I see your hair?
01:34:17 -->
01:34:18
Step by step.
01:34:19 -->
01:34:20
You know the rest.
01:34:22 -->
01:34:23
Can we go out?
01:34:25 -->
01:34:26
Can we invite you
01:34:27 -->
01:34:29
for a cup of tea or we can
01:34:29 -->
01:34:29
have a meal?
01:34:30 -->
01:34:32
My dear sisters,
01:34:33 -->
01:34:36
block and close this door.
01:34:38 -->
01:34:38
Close it.
01:34:44 -->
01:34:44
If anyone
01:34:45 -->
01:34:45
is interested,
01:34:47 -->
01:34:50
they should come through the proper channel,
01:34:52 -->
01:34:52
of a channel
01:34:53 -->
01:34:54
to come to the family
01:34:56 -->
01:34:57
and asked.
01:35:00 -->
01:35:00
I
01:35:01 -->
01:35:03
don't have family. My family are not Muslims.
01:35:04 -->
01:35:05
Okay?
01:35:06 -->
01:35:07
This what we need to do.
01:35:08 -->
01:35:08
The
01:35:09 -->
01:35:11
the the and
01:35:12 -->
01:35:14
the Islamic centers,
01:35:15 -->
01:35:16
we have to facilitate
01:35:18 -->
01:35:19
the marriage for our sisters.
01:35:22 -->
01:35:24
K? So we should know. We should have
01:35:24 -->
01:35:25
database
01:35:26 -->
01:35:27
of brothers who are interested,
01:35:29 -->
01:35:30
and we facilitate
01:35:31 -->
01:35:32
how
01:35:33 -->
01:35:33
to
01:35:34 -->
01:35:35
get
01:35:36 -->
01:35:37
this systematic
01:35:38 -->
01:35:40
when a brother was interested.
01:35:41 -->
01:35:43
And now she can make the imam
01:35:44 -->
01:35:45
her Mahram, her guardian.
01:35:46 -->
01:35:48
So we have to do it within
01:35:49 -->
01:35:51
the Islamic framework
01:35:52 -->
01:35:53
until we get them married.
01:35:54 -->
01:35:55
But to
01:35:56 -->
01:35:57
go through the shaitan way,
01:36:00 -->
01:36:02
this will lead only to the haram,
01:36:03 -->
01:36:04
would lead to the haram.
01:36:06 -->
01:36:09
And there are maybe, I think, some,
01:36:11 -->
01:36:13
Islamic matrimonial
01:36:13 -->
01:36:14
services.
01:36:17 -->
01:36:18
If
01:36:18 -->
01:36:20
there's a strict supervision
01:36:21 -->
01:36:24
and it's not, they do not make them
01:36:24 -->
01:36:27
connect and communicate to each other other than
01:36:27 -->
01:36:30
they make the the the husband to be
01:36:31 -->
01:36:33
to communicate with the family.
01:36:34 -->
01:36:35
Okay.
01:36:36 -->
01:36:37
That is fine.
01:36:38 -->
01:36:40
But to connect the husband to be and
01:36:40 -->
01:36:41
the wife to be
01:36:44 -->
01:36:46
to each other, that's not correct.
01:36:47 -->
01:36:48
They have to be just
01:36:49 -->
01:36:49
facilitated
01:36:50 -->
01:36:51
to make it easy
01:36:52 -->
01:36:53
for a brother to find
01:36:54 -->
01:36:55
suitable
01:36:56 -->
01:36:58
partner and for the sister for to find
01:36:58 -->
01:37:00
suitable partner.
01:37:00 -->
01:37:01
This is my advice.
01:37:02 -->
01:37:02
Next.
01:37:09 -->
01:37:12
I have a follow-up follow-up question. How do
01:37:12 -->
01:37:14
you get to know someone before marriage to
01:37:14 -->
01:37:15
see if they are the right one?
01:37:17 -->
01:37:18
You asked.
01:37:19 -->
01:37:22
Okay? You asked people. That's what we are
01:37:22 -->
01:37:22
saying here.
01:37:23 -->
01:37:24
If
01:37:25 -->
01:37:26
the
01:37:27 -->
01:37:27
questioner
01:37:28 -->
01:37:29
is not
01:37:29 -->
01:37:32
delivered. He's a Muslim. Parents are Muslims.
01:37:32 -->
01:37:34
That's the role of the family.
01:37:34 -->
01:37:36
The family, they have to do the homework
01:37:37 -->
01:37:39
to ask about this man.
01:37:40 -->
01:37:41
K?
01:37:43 -->
01:37:45
And if you have friends, they know this
01:37:45 -->
01:37:46
person.
01:37:46 -->
01:37:48
Okay. They should help you.
01:37:48 -->
01:37:49
But the
01:37:49 -->
01:37:51
normally, the family, they should,
01:37:52 -->
01:37:55
do the homework and ask about him
01:37:56 -->
01:37:56
before
01:37:57 -->
01:37:58
agreeing to,
01:37:59 -->
01:38:02
to accept him as, their son-in-law.
01:38:03 -->
01:38:05
The parents, they have to work and do
01:38:05 -->
01:38:06
the homework.
01:38:09 -->
01:38:11
And the sister also, she can.
01:38:12 -->
01:38:13
For example,
01:38:15 -->
01:38:16
if he is
01:38:17 -->
01:38:18
a bad boy. K?
01:38:20 -->
01:38:21
You
01:38:21 -->
01:38:23
know, my brother told me
01:38:24 -->
01:38:25
about another,
01:38:26 -->
01:38:28
young man who proposed to a girl. She
01:38:28 -->
01:38:29
said,
01:38:31 -->
01:38:32
I need time, and she went to the
01:38:32 -->
01:38:33
net
01:38:33 -->
01:38:35
and searched about him and
01:38:36 -->
01:38:37
brought all
01:38:38 -->
01:38:39
the rubbish that he was doing
01:38:40 -->
01:38:41
with the girls and
01:38:42 -->
01:38:45
k. She don't have family. He's not my
01:38:45 -->
01:38:45
cup of tea.
01:38:46 -->
01:38:49
Forget about it. Next.
01:38:51 -->
01:38:52
This was the last question.
01:38:53 -->
01:38:56
If you want to finish off the lesson.
01:38:58 -->
01:38:59
May Allah
01:39:00 -->
01:39:02
bless you, protect you. May
01:39:03 -->
01:39:05
Allah elevate your status and
01:39:07 -->
01:39:07
in this world.
01:39:08 -->
01:39:09
And may Allah
01:39:10 -->
01:39:12
give us a remain in this beautiful deed
01:39:13 -->
01:39:16
until we plead our loss and find our
01:39:16 -->
01:39:18
love, please, with all of us. I mean,
01:39:18 -->
01:39:20
may Allah forgive us of false mistakes and
01:39:20 -->
01:39:23
ignorance, and may Allah bless us with the
01:39:23 -->
01:39:27
beneficial knowledge of righteous deeds. May Allah unite
01:39:27 -->
01:39:30
our may Allah unites our hearts on the
01:39:30 -->
01:39:32
And may Allah reward all of you
01:39:33 -->
01:39:35
immensely for your patience and attendance.
01:39:39 -->
01:39:40
Until we meet
01:39:41 -->
01:39:42
in the coming session,
01:39:42 -->
01:39:45
I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
