We are ready when you are inshallah.
Okay. Let us begin inshallah.
Brothers and
And welcome to our weekly Daughters of Virtues
of Islam.
This is lesson number 62
with our honorable Sheikh, Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
I will pass the mic and the screen
to the Sheikh, and the Sheikh will begin.
Sisters
in Islam. Today is our weekly class
of Islam,
virtues of Islam.
And we are talking about the methodology
of the deviant *
in Islam.
These groups
those groups that went
off the right track.
And one of the main characteristics
is rejecting
the Hadith of
because the Hadith of the
either Ahad or.
Means
in each
level
of
the narrators,
group of narrators
related
and conveyed
that particular hadith.
So when we come to the level of
the companions,
group of the companions reported it.
Then the 2nd level of
group and group and group,
and the number is up to,
10
within the range of 10.
And the these that are
are not so many
few
to have that condition throughout the
level each level of the
narrators,
which we call Tabaka.
For example, I'll give you an example,
the famous hadith that every Muslim
knows
is the hadith in.
This is reported by.
This hadith reported only by.
He's the one who heard it from the
then from him,
others,
okay,
reported it.
And this is called,
and it is tied of a heart,
but it is authentic.
You'll find this hadith in every book of
the,
and the jurists are using it.
Okay?
So the
the bulk, the majority
of the are
not.
So these deviant sects, the
and the Jamia and others
concocted
and invented this bidah
that in order to get rid of the
Hadith
that
refute them
and expose their deviance
and their misguidance,
they said, oh, these Hadith are ahad,
so we'll not accept them and apply them
for issues of the belief.
So today, we will continue
addressing this issue.
Such belief
yields
evil consequences.
And you are going to hear now.
The evil consequences
and the evil fruits of such belief when
you reject the
of.
Among these
evil consequences
and dreadful
consequences.
This is number 1.
That
if you abide and hold such belief, then
you will
reject
all the prophetic
traditions. All the prophetic traditions that are mentioned
related
to issues of belief,
ideological issues,
or theological issues,
and issues related
and matters related to the unseen
because
there are many, many ahadis which are talking
about the, about
Jannah,
about the,
now about the hellfire,
about heaven.
So if you only
hold that you will
follow accept
a hadith which is a,
then you will reject all this a hadith.
And to say the Quran is enough for
us,
and this is another
bidah.
Apparently, it sounds okay.
The Quran is yes. The Quran is
there. It's everything everything in the Quran. That's
true.
But
you need the sunnah to explain the Quran,
and that's the role of the prophet
to explain the Quran to us and to
teach it to us.
So the Sunnah
is there explaining
the Quran.
It explains the Quran.
Without the sunnah, you'll not be able.
You'll not be able to pray. You'll not
be able to
perform
the Hajj. You'll not be able to perform
this give the zakar.
You will not be.
So the sunnah explains the Quran.
So the sunnah,
the Quran
gave us just headlines.
K?
Establish
the prayers. How?
How should I pray?
Those who call themselves will follow.
Ask him. Teach me the salah from the
Quran. Teach me.
They'll not be able to teach you the
salah from the Quran.
Teach me
about the zakah,
the amount that I have to give.
How much should I give?
When I am
obligated to give the zakah, what's the minimum
requirement?
Minimum
amount of money I should have?
Open
the
Quran,
teach me.
The sooner mentions all these things.
Quran says,
teach me how to perform Hajj.
Because Allah says,
but that's it.
It's incumbent upon
mankind
to
perform the
and to come to the house of Allah.
What should I do? What are the rituals?
What are the lies? It's the sunnah.
So you can see now. If you reject
the sunnah, if you reject the hadith and
the majority of the hadith reject ahad, you'll
not be able.
Also,
among the
evil fruits
of this,
You reject even
somewhat a lot of that
reported
by
the companions of the,
a hadith that are related
to the names of Allah
and to the attributes of Allah.
And the received that and accepted it
and believed in it.
So if you say, I will only accept
hadith
if it is and
even if it is
in the sense that the accepted it and
no one rejected that such a narration,
then you
you will be
inevitably, you will reject all this.
How did that talk about the names of
Allah
And rejecting
the names of Allah and the attributes of
Allah
is a great loss.
You deprive the people of knowing their love,
their love.
And the most beautiful names belongs to Allah,
belong to Allah. So call him upon
call upon him by his names.
So if you reject
the names of Allah that are mentioned in
authentic ahadith,
you are rejecting
Allah's names
and the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And that's why
without knowing
this is one of Allah's blessings
which he bestowed on us that
he taught us his names,
and he taught us his attributes.
So we know
him. So we know him. He's he's
he's, he's,
he's
all these things.
We know his attributes. We know he's seeing
us. He we know he hears us. He
we know
all the attributes of action
and attributes of person, which he
mentioned about himself.
So if you reject the or
you reject all these things.
So then you will not
you will not know your
As if
said,
the they
are actually
highway robbers. They are thieves.
They are thieves.
Highway robots.
They are
blocking and stopping the the travelers to Allah
to know him
because
knowing Allah through his names and attributes, the
traveler to Allah will be able to travel
because he knows
his love.
Now you are depriving them of having such
knowledge.
So you are
blocking them and preventing them
from accessing
this ahadith,
which will enrich them, which will,
enliven
their
heart.
And bring about the love in their hearts
and make the hearts yearn to
travel to Allah.
So if you don't
believe in this ahadith,
then your heart will
be dry.
And this is the case. True.
All the people of Bida, they have this
the sunnah the prophet,
that light is taken away, the light of
the sunnah.
And you'll be wondering and,
you don't know blindly.
You have no right. You have no guidance.
But if you know
this
and the ideas of the prophet,
you know you are loved, the one you
worship.
You know what he loves.
You know what he wants from you.
Well, Hadith and Nizul,
one of the beautiful hadith
talks about Allah
is the divine descent of Allah every night.
This hadith of the descent of Allah.
Allah descends every night
in the last 3rd of the night,
and he asks,
is there anyone
wants anything? Is there any sinner wants me
to forgive him his sins?
Anyone wants anything?
And this is an attribute of action.
So
if I our descends.
So
he said
in the Quran,
on the day of resurrection, he will come.
Allah, on the day of resurrection, he will
come
along with the angels
who
will
be
of
rose.
Do you reject that and you say Allah
will not come when he said he will
come?
You see the problem
with
all these deviant *
that they
had a problem
here in their minds.
When they read the aya, when they read
the hadith, immediately, they start
forming mental pictures
forming mental pictures. So they started to
imagine.
That's their problem.
And in order to get rid of this
satanic
whispers
and these mental images,
they reject
the apparent meaning
of the Hagid or the aya. And they
say, no. No. No. It doesn't mean this.
So we have to
render it. We have to interpret it
metaphorically.
Because
they say Allah is not like anything, so
he cannot be like this
as if they know Allah better than himself.
Had they
respected their little minds
and had
they abided
by
following
the revelation,
the as
it was understood
by the prophet
and his companions. And the 3 generations,
they would
be guided,
and they would have been guided.
But
they didn't
tread on that path.
They chose another path,
the path of the philosophers.
Their teachers were the Greek
philosophers,
what
their masters,
Aristotle,
Socrates,
they told.
Not what the prophet
said.
That's why they went astray.
And many of them, they regret
it towards the end of their life.
Khalaf.
All of them.
Made their hearts very hard, confused.
So towards the end of their life, they
were crying
and turning to Allah and begging him for
forgiveness.
He said, why Allah?
I have visited
all the different schools of philosophy.
All
the schools
of philosophy.
I studied philosophy thoroughly,
and they studied the different schools.
I didn't find.
Listen,
the
I found all the people placing their
palms under their chips,
chins.
And, you know, confuse you are like this.
This is what I found. People are confused.
Or
stabbing his teeth
out of regret.
Confused.
So when you read
in about the philosophers,
they are confused.
They don't know.
One of them maybe I think Aristotle is
like,
one thing I know I'm sure of is
that I don't know. I don't know. That's
what I'm sure of.
I don't know.
So this what the Shahrastani
said towards the end of his life.
Imam al Ani he,
when he,
refuted him and he said,
He said,
There is one school you didn't visit.
You omitted.
You went to the schools of Aristotle,
Plato, Socrates,
all
different schools, and you forgot one school
You didn't visit.
You didn't visit Ahmed
his school.
Al Mubruth,
who's sent and the Allah chose him from
the best clan of
Had you visited Han,
you wouldn't have been confused,
perplexed.
From a Haram and Yudhir be hadeen Mohammed.
You will never find him confused, the one
who's guided
by the guidance that Muhammad brought, so,
and you will never find him having his
teeth out of regret.
Imam Al Lazi,
he said,
See, this is what the evil fruit
when you
shun
the
and
you desert it.
He said,
He said, the audacity of the minds. When
you
rely on your minds and you
give your minds,
rely to do whatever
you want.
The my dear brothers and sisters, and it's
called
the why? You know the meaning of? From
means to
restrain,
to hold back.
When you
stop the movement of the camel
by tying
its hands.
So the apple is this faculty
that will make me refrain
on the wrong doing the wrong things.
So he's saying
See, the
the final, the ultimate,
the results
that we achieved
by following
and just rely on the rationale
and,
our minds,
we are
we reach a state of confusion.
We became
we
lost. We don't know.
And most of the the endeavors and the,
initiatives
and the works
of mankind
is
is.
They're lost.
All these works and different
theories and opinions and
they lead you astray.
They lead you astray.
The ultimate
result,
misguidance,
deviation.
This is a man
talking out of experience.
When you
let your mind
do whatever
the mind
wants. And you blunt and you push the
mind into an area
that doesn't belong
to it.
You take it out of its
domain
and push it
into an area,
he had he has the mind has no
clue about it, which is issues related to
the unseen.
The apple, the mind functions,
works only within
this
tangible
material
world.
That's it.
If we take it out of this
domain,
then it will
give
erroneous ideas
and results, and
you will be confused because you are expecting
the mind to help you, and the mind
indeed is helpless.
Then he said,
our souls.
Beside. Beside. We have this
inner struggle.
Philosophy will not give give you
serenity
now. Will not give you surety.
You'll be always in that stage of
doubt.
That's why you hear,
well, there's no nothing called absolute truth.
Things are relative.
And the problem that Muslims are saying this
nowadays.
Things are relative.
Yeah. This is your,
perspective.
Things are subjective,
not objective.
No.
There is absolute truth,
and that's what Allah said.
Allah said is the absolute truth.
Allah says. What is after the the truth
except
misguidance?
So what Allah said, that's
the no doubt.
So he's saying
Our hearts are in state of
wildness.
There's no peace.
There's no serenity.
There's no harmony
between
our hearts and minds.
There's no harmony.
There's no inner peace.
There's this
lack
of comfort,
lack of peace inside,
inner struggle.
See, the beauty of Islam,
it gives you that calmness,
peace of mind.
You feel happy.
There is nothing.
You see the Islamic teachings,
They all make sense.
Very simple.
No complexity.
Nothing.
No need for you to to
to study philosophy in order to understand the
ayaat of Allah and the Hadith of the
prophet.
Very simple Islam.
So sweet.
A a man would come, Bedouin,
from the desert,
and he would say the shahada. And in
view,
minutes the prophet teaches him what he needs,
and he would go back to his family.
That's it.
Nothing more than that.
The badun who came and said, oh, prophet
of Allah, teach me
about Islam so that I will not need
to ask anyone else.
So he told him 5 prayers a day.
Unless you want to add out,
more you want to make an offer? He
said, no. No. No. 5 is okay. Enough.
I will not add 1 single.
I
will not add.
Then
once lifetime,
Ramadan,
once,
1 month per year. So he told him
the pillars of his club. And he said,
oh, prophet of Allah, I will never add
or reduce.
The prophet
said,
He
will succeed, and he will be successful if
he is telling the truth.
Very simple. This is our Islam.
No need to talk to you about logic
and all the,
logical rules and
see?
Because
the problem with the people nowadays,
it's not issues here.
She was here.
Yes. You might convince me rationally,
logically
by applying the
the rational rules and logical rules. Yeah.
But still, I will not be convinced
because there is something else you didn't
address, and that is here.
I believe. I believe it. Yes. Trinity doesn't
make sense, but I accept it
because I feel Jesus Christ.
See? This how the Christian too.
Don't
rationalize
with me and use all this
ideology.
I feel it.
When you
when I need something, I I
cry to Christ, and he helps me. Of
course,
Okay. I saw Christ Christ came to me.
All these things,
they kept they come to them.
But that's what he feels.
So people, they just look want to
something to touch their hearts. That's why this
one explains
many of the reverse that become.
Why they become?
Because they when they go there, they find
something similar.
Songs,
Nasheed,
and things
touching their heart and softening their heart. So
that's why
they follow
Sufi orders or,
Sufi Tariqah.
So he's saying here,
our souls.
There's no serenity. There's no
peace of mind.
What we have gained
throughout this
journey,
pain, agony, suffering,
and evil consequences.
I said, we did not benefit anything of
this lengthy research
that we spent our prime use for,
doing it.
Except that,
we compiled
and
collected different conflicting
views. So they said this, they said that.
This one said this, this one refuted him
and said that. That's what we
gained.
This what the said.
Then he said,
and when I came
to the Quran methodology,
It is
simple,
convincing.
I read regarding the negation,
There's nothing like unto him. This is regarding
the negation. So
Allah is not like anything we know.
Then I read regarding the affirmation
for Hossein,
and he is all hearing
all
seeing. So this is the best
methodology.
Also.
He said,
when he was die,
may your mother lose you, oh,
If Allah
forgives you not and showers his mercy in
you, you will be
I am dying upon the relief of my
mother and grandmother
and the old women of,
which means.
That's
what Duaneir
said. So my dear brothers and sisters,
those who
the
deviants are smart, and
Those
are all these I mentioned, towering figures.
K?
This is what the
did to them.
So
when you reject their hadith,
then you will be rejecting
Allah's names,
Allah's attributes,
the
hadith about the
divine descent,
that Allah descends every night.
Allah descends. Yes. He's saying. Allah the prophet
said, yes.
Because now you see,
if you want
this is what happens to them. You say,
Allah descends. So they are imagining
a human descent.
The human descent.
So they want to visualize,
and they cannot.
You cannot.
Why?
This is something beyond
our
the capacity of our play matters, our minds.
It's beyond it.
Cannot.
That's why when the man came to Imam
Malik and
he said,
The question here is
scary.
The man wants to know the manner and
the how.
He
wants to know the manner, the how the
how.
That's why Imam Malik started sweating
sweating.
Then he said,
The meaning of
is known in the Arabic
language, and we talked about it,
which means
to ascend and to rise
above.
Because he knew what the man meant.
What the man meant is not to know
the
the linguistic
meaning. No.
The man wanted to know the how, how
Allah,
the action of Allah.
So he's told
the how, the manner in which Allah
is Tawah is not
cannot be
is inconceivable.
We cannot
conceive it. We cannot comprehend it.
Well,
and to believe that Allah's
is mandatory,
obligatory.
And to ask about the how and the
manna
is heresy.
Innovation.
And then he said told him, leave my
circle.
You are
I think you are an innovator,
or you are not more than an an
innovator.
Because the man wants to know how. So
if someone says, how does Allah descend?
The answer, how is he? How is Allah?
Because you want to know about this action
and the attribute of the descent.
So how is he? How is Allah?
Because to ask about the attribute,
you should know about the person
who has
this attribute,
and that's Allah.
So he has to say,
which is true. He said,
and his actions are not like our actions.
Very simple.
So his descent is not like your descent.
So chapter is closed.
Like his existence,
not like your existence. You exist. He exist.
Is your existence like a god's existence?
No.
He hears you here.
Or you want or use or you are
you you want to say that he is
deaf. He doesn't hear. And you hear.
You hear, and God doesn't hear.
But his hearing is not like yours.
Your hearing is limited.
His hearing is not
is unlimited.
He hears everything.
You see, he sees
your sight is limited.
God's sight is not limited.
He sees what is beneath
the earth.
What's in the belly of the earth, he
he sees it. He sees the worms in
the inside the rocks,
and he provides for them.
Okay?
So when you are reading about the attributes
of Allah,
yes, keep in mind the
ayah.
Nothing is like unto Allah and his own
hearing or saying.
So
the same thing about
this hadith,
the this divine descent of Allah
They say no. No. No. No. No. No.
No. What descends and what comes down?
You see, what
Ibn Taymiyal alhamallahu, he explained this hadith in
one book.
Beautiful.
They are saying,
what descends is his mercy.
His mercy descends, not the merciful.
What?
The rahma, the mercy comes down,
not the merciful.
The
hadith says,
Anyone seeking
forgiveness,
I will forgive him.
So our question to you, who forgives the
sins?
Al kafar
was the attributes of the Maghfirah.
Who forgives?
Of course, Al Ghafar, the forgiver.
Not the forgiveness,
forgives.
The forgiver forgives.
Who grants mercy?
Mercy grants mercy to you, or the merciful
grants mercy to you and gives mercy to
you?
So the hadith is clear.
What's wrong with you?
Do you know better than your prophet?
Your prophet couldn't explain
express himself.
He couldn't say,
oh, he was unable to say
Allah's mercy comes down every night.
And he said,
our our
lord descends.
K?
So this is
an action, an act, divine act of Allah
Then they say,
but the 3rd night of the the third
part of the night,
that is from one place to another. You
say yes.
So what?
It's not difficult for Allah
So whenever
it is the last third of the night,
the divine
descent
takes place.
But your problem, you are imagining
a descent of a human being. That's your
problem. So
wake up
and remove all of this rubbish from your
mind.
Also here, I would like to
inform you that there's
a man
known as Ibn Battuta,
a traveler
who traveled
to many countries. I think he wrote a
book
about the countries he visited,
and he lied against Sheikh Islam, even Taymiyyah.
He said, I entered Damascus,
and I saw Ibintania
delivering
the Khutba sermon
speech
on Friday,
and then he talks about the hadith of
the descent.
And he says our descent like this, and
he came down few steps.
This is a lie fabricated.
He fabricated
and concocted it.
Because when the Ibn Battlba
visited Damascus
and entered Damascus,
even Tamir was already dead.
He died.
So when you hear this, it is a
lie against Sabintania.
So
they deny
the Hadith, talks about the names of Allah,
the attributes of Allah,
the hadith about the descent. And
the hadith about the of Allah.
Because all the
hadid that talks about
Allah
to
Those who are merciful, those who are kind.
Allah showers his mercy on them.
Be kind and merciful
towards those on earth.
Towards your brothers and sisters.
You have
the
one who's in heaven,
who has mercy on you.
And
the
hadith
about
the
is
so many.
So many.
Aisha said, when came
to complain
about the her husband,
she said,
I was next to them.
Part of the conversation,
I heard part I I I did it,
and Allah heard her from above the 7
heavens. The Sophia,
wife of the prophet,
he used to boast,
okay, to,
the rest of the wives of the prophet.
He would tell Aisha, okay. Who got you
married?
Who got you married to the prophet? Your
father.
You. You, Haslam.
Who was your guardian?
Who gave you your hand to the prophet?
Your father.
I, Allah.
Allah
got me managed to the prophet.
K.
So used to
build, own
it. And she used to tell the prophet.
The most merciful from above his throne got
me married to you.
I think it was Zaynah. I think it
was Zaynah.
K?
So
so this
why was the prophet
was boasting?
She didn't catch me on it a lot
of the time adding
to the prophet
So
the a hadith about the rule of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The hadith of the
which is Muslim.
K?
I had
the slave girl
who was
a. K?
And one day, the wolf took one sheep,
And then a human human being, so I
reacted. I slapped her.
Then I came to the prophet
and they said, this what happened and this
what I did.
So the
prophet rebuked him,
and he told him
then said,
should I set her free, emancipate
her
to compensate
and to expiate
for my sin?
He told him, bring her. Bring this slave
girl.
And
when she was brought, the pastor
asked her, said,
Where is Allah?
Said, it was salah. It was salah.
Then
he asked her again,
who am I?
Said, answer Rasoolallah.
You are the messenger of Allah.
Upon hearing that, the prophet
told her,
told him,
set her free.
She is a.
So the prophet is the one who asked
this slave girl,
ain
Allah, where is Allah?
And this issue,
I am addressing in detail in other classes.
On Sunday and on Saturday
and on Thursday
about the issue of the
the and
the.
So Allah, he asked, where is Allah?
Like, she said, Allah's in heaven.
So
if you reject
the Hadith of the, then you will reject
all the Hadith related
to the the
absolute highness of Allah.
The the law is above his creation,
above his mighty throne,
outside his creation.
And then also you will reject
the Hadid that mentioned
the signs of the hour
or the Hadid.
The Hadid of the hours
that mentioned the minor signs and the major
signs
hadith. So you will reject that.
When we are seeing,
all these promises
mentioned in this hadith, we are seeing
the fulfillment
of this Hadith with our own eyes,
with our own eyes.
And this
it proves beyond any doubt that the prophet
said such
Hadith.
You see the the hadith of mentioned about
the signs of the hour and the
tokens of the hour.
You will see
this among the signs of tower.
The barefooted,
the
naked, the Arabs,
the shepherds
of the sheep
competing with each other and constructing
lofty building.
Yeah.
100 years,
50 years,
70 years back.
Our fathers and forefathers, they were.
Running. No shoes after the
livestock,
the sheep, the camels.
Hardly, you find shirts covering the other part,
only,
piece of cloth covering
on the waist to the knees.
And today,
they are competing with each other and constructing
high towers,
skyscrapers.
You see? That's what the boss has ever
made.
And you, the also
mentioned that the hour will not
come and establish until
Arabia
goes back and becomes and reverts
into rivers and meadows.
And see now,
Arabia, mountains are green,
meadows,
streams of water.
You see the fulfillment?
When he say,
2 types of people I haven't seen them,
they are going to come.
Men, they carry
whips in their hands like the tails of
the cows,
the light police
in our time.
And women dressed yet nake naked. We can
see them.
It was difficult for the companion
to imagine this, but it's not difficult for
us.
We can see women dressed and naked at
the same time.
You see everything.
Though she is putting something on, but it's
not enough.
Tight or transparent or short,
dress yet naked.
The hairstyle.
Also
in the.
The hairstyle is like the
the humps of the camels.
See?
The humps of the camel. So the she
would
pile
the hat, the bun on top of her
head.
Not just or some day,
style like the humps of the camel.
That's who you are seeing with your own
eyes every day.
They will not enter the
women who are naked yet
dressed yet naked.
When they walk, they are swaying their bodies
and seducing men, and you are seeing that.
So the a hadith about the signs of
the,
the mind
minor signs of the,
a hadith about the.
And this
is what we're going on now.
Are clear indications
that
anytime
the Mahdikhan appears,
Christ will descend.
All these are hadith. You will reject them.
The hadith about the
emergence of the antichrist,
you will reject that
when
antichrist
is
there. That's why you
have a Muslim in his prayer
is asking the land that
is
to save him from the trial of a.
And you're asking Allah to save you from
something doesn't
exist?
Are they fairy tales?
No.
The jar is there.
It's locked and chained
in an
island.
Then he will come out,
and he will have will have followers,
the Dijal.
The
anti clash.
And he is the one
who will be killed only by Risa Islam.
So when the digial
appeared,
Isa dissents, Alislam,
and Isa, Alislam is going to kill
the antichrist, the digial, in
Allud and Palestine.
And Isa Alai Salam
will descend
at dawn in
Damascus.
And he will find Muslims straightening their roles
to pray.
And the imam
would be the Mahdi,
and the Mahdi, alaihis salam, would ask
Aesir alaihis salaam to leave. He said, no.
So he will play behind the Mahdi.
If you reject the hadith of the hadith,
then you will reject the hadith that talk
about
seeing Allah in the jannah.
And there are so many
hadith, and Muslim and other books
talking about Allah will be seen
in the jenba.
If you reject the hadith of then you
will reject the
the,
the punishment of the grave or the torment
of the grave,
which is a reality.
The prophet
he passed by 2 graves, and
he heard them
being tortured and punished.
And that's why you seek Allah
to save you from.
If you reject the hadith of a hadith,
then you will reject all the hadith
that
talk about
the howd
al Qadr of the prophet.
See this what
when you
divert from the straight path,
you, shaitan, will take you
miles and miles away
from the hamma.
So
stick to the truth.
Follow the footsteps of your prophet.
Follow what the 3 generations weighed upon.
May
Allah keep us remain
steadfast in this beautiful deen
to and find him. Please, all of us.
I mean,
may Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge of righteous
deeds. May Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah
guide our to the and bring them to
the straight path. Ameen.
And may Allah unite our heart.
Ameen.
May Allah reward all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters,
immensely for your patience and attendance.
We will go straight into the question and
answers.
The first question, Sheikh.
Yeah.
Allah talks about the 7 heavens. The first
one has star planets.
Is there any information
what the other 6 heavens contain?
The first heaven is not what you see
the stars and the
uh-huh.
What you see, the stars,
galaxies,
our solar system,
that's not the first heaven.
Okay?
This is something something
mind blowing. We cannot imagine it.
All these customers we see,
it is
nothing.
It is included and encompassed by the.
Which
is
So there is a that encompasses
the 7th of elements
and the whole creation.
So there are 7 some hours, 7 firemen,
and each one
has
its inhabitants from among the Malaika.
And if you read the hadith of the
Mi'raj,
the prophet said that he passed
through
all these heavens.
That is by the will of Allah.
K?
If we want to use our minds, you
need millions of light years.
But may Allah,
That's why Allah
says
started
with.
It is the divine
power of our world.
So the prophet was taken. Taken.
So
Allah is the one who took his servant.
The prophet said,
He didn't say I traveled. I went. No.
K? In the passive form,
Allah took him.
So if Allah took him,
chapter is close.
That's why
could not believe that.
Oraish could not believe it. He said, what?
You went and came
in 1 night?
It it takes us 1 month.
They say, okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. We'll prove you wrong now. Describe Betel
Mactis to us. Describe
it. We've been there. We know Beit en
Maqdis. You are saying you went to Beit
en Maqdis last night. Okay?
Describe it. The prophet
said, by Allah.
When they asked me that question,
I had
no idea.
I didn't go there
to
count how many doors, how many windows are
I was taken there. I tied the the
the the burqa up, entered the masjid,
led the
salah, because Allah
brought into life all the prophets. They prayed
behind him.
Then he was taken to heaven.
So he said, you believe,
alaihis salam
through such a light. Right?
Is it difficult for Allah to do that?
So Baytin Mahdas is now in front of
him.
So he started describing it to them.
Describing Peter Maqdis to them. And then he
mentioned to them,
many things happened
during his journey, and there's the caravan is
going to come.
And there there is this camel
leading the caravan,
And I passed by them, and they lost
1 camel.
He mentioned all these things. Then he mentioned
the the arch,
the
ascension
with
and
he
would
seek permission
for to enter the first heaven, second, etcetera,
till he reach,
The. The
there. He said, I could hear
the movement of the pens,
the sounds of the pens lighting.
And they saw veins of light, and Allah
spoke to him.
K. So this is something
beyond
the human capacity,
the human mind capacity.
So all what we see, we think it
is this is the first heaven. No. No.
It's not. I hope this is clear to
the question now.
Glad to be clear, sir. We'll go to
the next question.
The next question is, how do we teach
a teenager about fear of Allah
when he has little fear of Allah but
wants to have more fear?
How
to have sabr Jamil?
The fear
first of all,
we need to focus
on how to build up the iman. The
problem, my dear brothers and sister, is the
iman is weak.
Iman is weak.
So we have to talk to our children
about Allah
and make them love Allah.
Love Allah
You should have a study circle
in your home. You sit with your family,
with your children.
Study
circle every day,
10 minutes, 15 minutes maximum.
Get to
and read 1 hadith, 2 hadith
every day.
Litrite enters this home.
Talk,
soften their hearts.
Let them,
this heart get attached with Allah subhanahu
wa
ta'ala with their creator.
We need to
develop them
in the hearts of our children.
Rekindle
the amber of iman in their hearts,
Not frightening them
about the punishment of the grave and the
hellfire and all that.
When their iman is weak.
You know what?
Teenagers, that's not fair details.
I don't believe that.
So the issue is, I have a problem
with iman.
So we need to
lay the foundation.
The basics
back to basics
back to basics,
and build
the ima
little by little,
and be role models for your children as
parents.
Work on their imam.
Take them during summer or.
Get closer to your children.
Now he's a teenager,
so
he should be your friend as a father.
He is your friend. Take him all the
time with you.
Make him feel that he is a man
now.
He's your right hand.
He's a
she girl now, she's
reached the age of puberty, teenager.
Mother, open your house for your daughter. Get
them close to you.
Let them confined in you.
So when they have a problem, they rush
to you and come to you
to for guidance.
The same thing.
Parent, fathers do the same thing. So your
son will come to you, dad, I have
this problem. I have this,
friend that what to do?
Because he can he there's mutual trust, and
he can
confide in you.
K? Because you know
we worship Allah with 2 wings.
And we balance our
spiritual journey to Allah between hope and fear.
Not only fear.
For not only hope, both.
Because there are
group
there is a group of people who were
no.
They worshiped a lot as an only out
of fear, and those are the.
So they despaired
of Allah's mercy.
And there is, on the other side,
another group that said, god like the Christian,
god is allowed.
Help. And this you find some of
the. One of them is saying, Allah, and
they attribute this to Arabia.
I
didn't worship you, oh, Allah, because I'm afraid
of
your hellfire.
She's not afraid of that fire, or I'm
coughing and joining for your agenda. No. No.
No.
I don't want that. I
worshiped you
because you deserve to be worshiped.
And you you hear this is Allah.
Allah said about the prophets of Allah and
messengers.
They are worshiping Allah out of fear
and competing with each other. Beside their own
and doing good deeds.
And call upon Allah
How to fear and hope?
Is Rabiha better than the messengers of Allah?
Is Rabiha better than Rahimahullah
if he said that?
Is he better than the prophet
who used to say
Oh, Allah, I ask you to grant me
Jannah,
admission to the Jannah, and save me and
protect me from entering the hellfire.
So our
Islam
balance
hope and fear.
And this how you balance your flight,
like a bird with 2 wings.
So if you feel that
you will commit sins because now you
rely more on the mercy of Allah. They
said, lower
the wing of hope and raise the wing
of fear
so that you will refrain from doing Haram.
If you feel you are going to despair
of Allah's mercy,
lower the wing of fear and raise the
wing of hope.
And that's how you balance.
And when you are in the
breathing your last, dying,
raise only the wing of hope.
Forget about all your sins and everything.
Don't think about anything except
Allah's rahman,
Allah's mercy.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Shala, it is pleasure.
We go to the next question.
Sheikh, can you explain the rulings about dyeing
the hair black?
Dyeing what?
Dyeing. Dyeing the coloring the hair black.
Okay.
There is a hadith, which is authentic.
And
our Sheikh,
he wrote a book
on this match up, dyeing using the black
dye.
Okay. So dyeing the dye with black dye,
making black color.
And he mentioned
many narrations, and he mentioned this hadith.
It's there on the net. You can download
all the books
of.
And the hadith is very scary.
The said,
a group of my people
will come,
who will use black dye.
Like, the
the bag of the
bird, which is filled with the,
with the seeds,
they will not enter the gym.
So Muslim
men
should
avoid
the black color.
The hadith mentioned
henna and cotton.
The henna, we know the henna, and the
is something brownish
dark brownish.
Dark brown.
That's okay.
But the black, avoid it.
And it's the same for men and women,
because the hadith didn't make any exception.
It should be avoided.
That's what the hadith
mentioned.
And when he
told
that the
father of,
Abu Bakr should be,
his beard to be
dyed, he told them, avoid the black color.
Now had having said this, you will come
across
some opinions of O'Lama
and They're
saying,
if you do this to deceive
someone,
then you should, it's not allowed. For example,
an old man,
he wants to propose
to a young girl.
You see, all his hair is gray, so
he made everything perfect.
Now everything is black, looks young.
Said you should not do this because this
is cheating.
Okay.
And they said in war, in the battlefield,
it's okay to
die
with black
to frighten the enemies. So they see
the soldiers
are all
having,
black beards, so they are young.
All these are saying of
the and the.
But
at the end of the day,
our opinions
of what the prophet said, that what counts.
That what counts. So
avoid
dying and using the black dye.
And always keep in mind, my dear brothers
and sisters,
the following
simple
rule.
There are 5 rulings of the Sharia.
Haram
Macron. You are, as a layman,
normal person,
You heard that 2 opinions
about a particular
issue.
Some opinion
saying, halam,
another saying it is. What should you do?
Leave it.
It is win win.
How am I leaving it? I'm leaving it.
Means a lot of dislikes here. Why should
I do
it?
Be on the safe side.
Now
there are 2 opinions about a particular matter.
1 is saying it is, well, the other
saying it is sunnah.
Like, for example,
the niqab. Is it sunnah?
You as a sister, what should you do?
Win win, you want to be in the
safe side with the niqab.
Because if it is fun, they are doing
it. If it is sunnah, you are doing
it. You are not losing anything.
And even those scholars who are saying it
is sunnah, they will say
They were not criticizing
that you put the nikkar on because that
is the best. No doubt.
So what remains halal? Halal is halal.
If you do it,
you will not be rewarded. If you don't,
you will not be punished.
If you do it, you will not be
punished. If you don't, if you do it,
you'll not be rewarded.
If you don't, you'll not be punished.
You can have your dinner or you can
leave it.
Keep this in mind always. I hope this
is clear to the questioner.
Sorry.
The the admin is battery has died.
So if anybody sent a question to,
the host,
can they please send it to me now?
There's echo. There's echo.
Oh, I can't do anything about that.
Let's see.
Okay.
Okay. Okay. I'll repeat again. If anybody's
sent any questions to the
host, can you please send it to me?
Thank you.
Okay.
Dear respected Sheikh.
Since now you mentioned
that even that Nabi'una
Isa
alaihosalam,
shall descend at fajr time.
What are the extra
speciality
of these 2 rakat?
What are the other what?
The the specialty
of these 2 rakat.
Zakat?
A rakat. When when he's at the fajr
fajr. The 2 rakat for fajr.
What are the
specialty of these 2 rakat?
Okay. I I don't see,
what the I don't the what the questioner
wants to say.
There's no link between
the descent of Risa and the sunnah of
the Fajid.
But, anyway, the sunnah of the Fajr, the
prophet
said,
this
is the
the reward is so great
that the
the
the sunnah before the father
is better than the whole world,
the whole junior.
That's why the
he would not,
miss,
the whether
he's resident or traveling,
a traveler.
Though we know that when you are traveling,
you don't pray the sunnah. The
sunnah, the regular sunnah, sunnah,
like the 4 like before and
the 2 after and the 2 after and
the 2 after and the 2 after Risha.
You don't. That
the
didn't do that. Yes. The he
would pray.
That's okay.
But not on this sunnah, except the sunnah
of the.
He will not miss them, whether
he's resident
or whether he's
a traveler traveling.
The same thing about the witcher also. He
will not miss the witcher.
So the reward of the of
the fajr
is so great.
Better than the whole entire this
world, dunya,
and what it contains.
Next question, please.
Dear Sheikh, Assalamu alaikum.
My daughter wears niqab.
She is getting married.
Alhamdulillah,
the Warima is totally segregated, and guests have
been told no personal photography.
But I would like to know,
are we, the parents of the bride,
allowed to take some pictures for memory?
Take what?
Some can we take some pictures of the
bride?
Can the parents of the bride take some
pictures
for memory and to commemorate
the event?
I will not recommend that because there's no
need for it.
Next.
Because the hadith of the prophet
he said,
may Allah curse
those who'd,
picture makers or those who
take pictures, etcetera, because
the
taking pictures falls under this hadith.
Only what happens,
the tool is different,
the tool. We are using camera now. Before,
they used to to paint, to make
mixtures.
And if we say,
that's because the tool is different, then the
ruling will be different
because the camera we're using camera, so now
it is halal.
What about
making images?
They're making,
statues.
Okay? Using,
hammer and chisel.
Those were the,
sculpture.
Is that okay? That's just Haram. Okay?
They say it's just Haram. Fine.
Nowadays,
I don't need to have a hammer and
chisel.
I can just feed
the
raw material,
the bulk, the
iron rod or asbestos rod,
okay,
or plastic rod
to the lathe machine.
And nowadays, the lathe machine are sophisticated
and connected to the
their program.
So just hit the the button,
and the program will do everything, and you
will have get different types
of projects.
Is it halal now?
Because I'm not using the ham and the
children. Is it
halal? Counsel, no. It's not halal because the
project is the same
irrespective of the tool used.
So what do you see
when the people are saying
photography is okay?
It's not like painting.
Just because the tool is different.
So if they say, it's okay. It is
fine.
Then they have to accept also
making the different statues using the lathe machine
because we are not using the hammer and
the chisel.
So that's why photography,
it's only
permitted
and permissible if there is a need. If
there's no need,
should we avoid it? And remember,
leave what you doubt to that what you
don't doubt.
K? And now you find, for example, some
is saying,
okay. It's okay.
Saying
it is
Haram. Stay away from it.
Next question, please.
Okay. This is okay about
Ahad
Hadith.
What about those who only
rely
on Ahad Hadith?
How about what?
Those who only rely
on ahad hadith.
Rely What?
Rely on ahad
hadith.
Yes.
This is the all the Muslims,
the majority of the Muslims,
including the prophet
and his
and the 2nd generation and the 3rd generation
and the former imams.
All the Muslims,
they accept
the Hadith of the Ahad and, of course,
the as well.
We are talking about the deviant sect who
are rejecting
the majority of the Hadith of the,
And they say we will only accept which
are very few.
I hope this is clear. Next question, please.
Okay. The final question is how to have
sabar jameel?
The good patience, this is,
to fit from Allah
to grant you the beautiful patience. But this
beautiful patience will not come just like that
because
this needs
training
the
and building up the imam because the
saber, there are 3 levels of saber,
3 levels of patience.
The highest level of patience
is. K.
Sorry. Number 1,
then
then The meaning,
the first degree, and that's the highest level
of sabr,
a sabr alupla,
to train yourself to do
the good deeds or righteous deeds deeds patiently.
This needs Those who strive for our cause,
Allah said, I will facilitate and make it
easy for them
the the ways
of and the ways ways of good.
And this is the highest level.
Then second level,
You should have patience to refrain
from committing sins. It's a second level,
refraining from committing sins.
3rd level is to
have sovereign patience
to
endure and
bear
the painful
calamities
and
decrease divine decrease of Allah,
the inflections,
what you are inflected with,
they have.
And that is level number 3.
And then he said, Ibrahim, some
people,
when we try to apply
these 3 categories and categorize the people,
Some people to them,
number 1 is easy.
There's no problem
of praying and,
regularly
attending the salawat in the masjid.
Doing good deeds had he has no issue
with that.
His problem is level number 2.
He cannot resist a particular sin.
So that's his problem.
So he needs to work on that.
Some people,
level 1 and 2 is okay. No problem.
But he cannot
have patience
if he is examined and tested and put
through trials. He fails.
He
mentioned
he said,
some people, Allah tested them,
and we heard.
Actually, they were actually
statements which are blasphemous.
He said one of them,
he had one child and the child died.
When people came to give condolences,
they heard him saying,
why did
why did you take my son?
He is my only son.
And he said, this man was always there
in the first round of the message.
So he's complaining. Why did you take my
son? He's my only son. My neighbor has
many sons.
Another one was saying
he said we heard him saying
because he was sick, so he was
objecting and complaining and saying,
why are you
punishing me? Talking about Allah.
So they failed in the level number 3.
So you know where
you fall, which one is.
You have type of patience is difficult for
you and work on it.
And you need
to have
all this,
and then you will achieve the
where
you'll have this beautiful.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Beautifully explained.
Dear Sheikh.
Can you explain if my uncle's wife
is breaking my wudur or?
Would you mind repeat
and articulate things
slowly? Can you explain if my uncle's wife
is breaking my wudur
or mahram?
She's not mahram.
The wife of your uncle, she's not Maharam.
If your uncle divorces her, you can marry
her.
And it seems that the questioner is because
he's saying
will do. Because in the, if you touch
the hand of a woman who is not,
your wudu will be nullified.
So she is not,
and
according to,
she will your wudu will be broken.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
And that was the final question.
To finish.
May Allah
bless you. Bless your family.
Protect you. Protect your family. And may Allah
elevate your status.
In this world, I need you not to
name. I mean, and may Allah
forgive us all faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah keep us remain steadfast in
this beautiful deed to Allah. Until we meet
Allah and find him pleased with all of
us. I mean,
Until we meet in the coming session,
I leave you in Noah's company.
