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.
