Okay.
Let's
begin. Brothers and sisters,
and welcome to our weekly
virtues of Islam with our honorable Sheikh
Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
I will inshallah, pastor Mike, and the screen
to the Sheikh and Sheikh can begin inshallah
with 64th lesson
of virtues of Islam.
Muhammad
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today
is our weekly class,
Islam,
virtues of Islam.
And we are talking about the methodology
of the deviant sects
and the characteristics
of their methodology.
Among the these characteristics
is that they
resort to LPS
analogy
or applying this analogical
reasoning
or and
apply that to the attributes of Allah
And in the last session, we talked about
the qiyas, the meaning of piyas,
that it is one of the sources of
the sharia,
massages
at the sharia.
And this
or analogy
is resorted to
in the absence of a clear cut evidence,
in the absence of the
absence of the
explicit
evidence,
then
the faqih,
the uterus, will
resort to the
analogy.
And by now, we should know, I hope
I hope, my dear brother's assistant,
that at least
one
hopes
that
when he leaves this dunya, this world,
there is someone there
left behind
who can impart the knowledge to others.
So take it serious.
Be serious as students of knowledge.
Take notes
and revise your notes,
and impart what you learn and share what
you learn with others.
The definition of
as defined by the
by the scholars
of
This
is a recap. We are recapping.
A new issue,
a new matter, new problem
exists,
and we want to know the answer. Halal,
haram, makkru. What is it?
And we didn't find
in the Quran only Sunnah
an explicit evidence
addressing this particular
issue.
And the Islamic law,
it is so flexible,
and Allah embedded within the the law many
mechanisms
which enable this law, this Sharia,
to accommodate
new things and provide
solutions.
The Islamic law will never fail
to find solutions and to address problems
because it is from Allah as a general.
We didn't miss anything
in the regulation.
So
the the is the new issue.
It is called like a tree, and there
is branch
of that tree.
So the the the branch will follow the
the mother, the the main tree.
So this is a a new issue
has to follow
and establish ruling in the Sharia. We call
it the,
and this is we call it.
And so applying
the stated
legal ruling
of the assault. There is we know the
ruling of this assault,
stated
legal
ruling
of
the original
to the new case.
The new case, we don't know its ruling.
We know the ruling of something similar to
So
in order to to for the to be
valid,
there must be a resemblance
and similarity
between
the far and the between
the
new case and the original case, which is
its ruling is explicitly
stated
in either the Quran or the sunnah.
So now we see there is a resemblance,
there is similarity.
K?
So what they will share and comment,
legal judgment,
legal ruling.
What is it?
Providing
an odor for the
analogy and the and
applying this
analogical reasoning.
There is
there is a common cause
between
the stated legal ruling and the new case,
the original case and the new case.
So there is something
common denominator.
We call it the illa, the cause.
Then
the the qiyas will be valid
will be valid.
But
if the
the Falak
give us totally
from the asl, the origin, then the will
not be valid.
There must be
this
there is a resemblance,
and there is something
common
they share.
Then you apply the.
But if there is nothing
common between the the front end of the
branch,
the new case, and the original case, nothing
common,
then they say this
is invalid.
It's not correct.
Keeping this in mind because the deviant sets,
what they did,
they started applying
the piyas, the
analogy,
and they made this is their problem.
That Allah's attributes
that
they made them analogous
to the attributes of the human being.
That's what they thought.
So for that reason, they said no.
Then these attributes cannot be attributed to Allah.
When there is no
resemblance
in the sense
of the attributes of the human being
and the attributes of Allah.
There's nothing there's no common denominator they share.
Allah's attributes, they suit Allah. They are divine.
Allah's attributes
are divine.
Ours are not.
What is shared, what is common, only the
name that's sent.
Name is common.
But realities,
Allah,
cause there's no there's no Allah.
There's no
common.
This cause between
Allah's attributes
and the attributes of a human being. So
you cannot apply the qiyas.
That's number 1. Number 2,
the qiyas in order to be invalid,
both
both
the the and
the should exist,
and they are known to us and visible
to us.
So someone comes and say, what is the
ruling of
the opium, hashish
or marijuana,
whatever?
So he comes to the sheikh and say,
this hashish
opium.
The opium, is it halal?
So has
to pause for a while and wait
and say, okay.
Let us have a look.
What does it do?
What do you do with this
drug?
We smoke it, Sheikh. We smoke it
or sniff it.
Okay? Then what does it do to you?
We feel
high. K?
We start hallucinating.
We forget our problems.
Then
the maulana sheikh scholar will call specialist
doctors.
Is there
any harmful effect of this drug?
The doctor will say, oh, yes.
It is more harmful than the effect of
wine,
the effect of hammel.
Really? Yes.
Now
the maulana,
the Eulis, the alim, the fakih
got the full picture.
Now
the role of the doctor
finished.
So now
the scholar
will apply
the principles of Sharia.
Sharia says,
There's nothing
there's no harm or reciprocating
harm.
Any harm or any
reciprocating harm, which
means anything is going to cause harm
to your body, to your health.
That's not part of the sharia. It is
haram.
And we know Allah prohibited
the hamar wine
because it intoxicate
it affects the mind,
and this new drug, extra drug,
because everyday new drug
is invented,
this extra drug has the same impact or
more.
So we know that
the original case, the hamal haram,
and this now drug,
it is not less than less harmful than
the hamal. It is more harmful than the
hamal, then it is haram.
Then this analogy
is perfect.
It's perfect
because
the new drug
and the hammar,
they have something common, and that is intoxicating
and harming and destroying
the the the brain and the mind, etcetera.
The same thing, smoking cigarettes,
Tobacco in the beginning,
the the the scholars, they didn't have enough
information about it.
So some of them, they said it is
could be avoided.
But now,
after a lot of researchers
and many people died of it,
it is the root cause of cancer,
Smoking,
cigarettes is haram, prohibited,
and selling cigarettes as
well.
So this is the,
but to apply this
to the attributes of Allah,
which are unknown to you Allah is unknown
to you, Israel.
How can you apply the
That way they went
astray,
those deviant *, and this we covered in
the last session.
We continue.
The true
the true methodology,
the true
way.
Issues
of the belief, issues related to the
the doctrine,
the creed,
are unknown
unknown.
They are sorry. Unseen.
Unseen.
They are unseen.
K? Maybe I said unknown before. Unseen. Right?
So the attributes of Allah, they are unseen
to us. We didn't see Allah.
So we don't know the reality
of these attributes of Allah,
but we know they these attributes,
they suit Allah's majesty
and glory,
and Allah
is a reality.
Allah is not something abstract. It's not something
just here in the mind. No. It's a
reality,
and he is outside his creation.
Because many
people, a lot to them is just an
idea.
It's not outside the mind. There's nothing there.
That's why you will you hear, for example,
in in the in the books of the
deviant sects like the Asha era and others,
when they talk about Allah, they say, Allah.
Allah
is neither outside the creation nor inside the
creation.
So where is Allah?
It's only an idea in your mind.
There's no real existence, Swaham,
outside the mind.
It's not an idea.
So you are actually
denying
and negating
Allah's existence
because that is Adam.
That is
exactly equivalent
and synonymous
to Adam, to nothingness.
If you are if we ask you what
is nothingness, you will not find the definition
more than this.
So you are saying Allah is nothing
because he's neither
outside the creation
nor outside
inside his creation. So where is he?
He's not there.
He's not
there.
That's why said
in his beautiful poem,
Please
do not deny his existence
by saying
Allah is neither inside the creation nor outside
the creation.
That is nothingness.
So you are saying
God is nothing.
So Allah is a reality.
Prophet
spoke to Allah in the night of the
Musa Alaihi Salam
spoke to Allah.
Musa at Kalima, and Allah
spoke to Moses
in the mount Mount of Sinai.
Allah said, yan it.
Allah speaks and talks,
And the prophet
he saw
veils of light on the night of the
Mi'raj.
When he was asked, did you see Allah?
He said, no, I saw veils of light.
His veil were
screens of light.
It's not something an idea abstract idea
in the mind. No.
This is the belief of Ahlus Sunnah.
So
the true madhab, the true methodology,
the true
way and
of knowing the correct belief, the correct
doctrine and creed,
and the
the issues of
are related to unseen matters
unseen matters.
That's why it's called
the. Allah was in
which means
means when because this form
because in Arabic, we have
grammatical
scale. We call it al mizan or sarfi,
mizan,
which is fa'ala
fa'ala.
And then we,
okay, put this
on one hand
and the new word, and then we give,
okay,
the equivalent,
wasn't for this word.
So for example,
we in order to know the what is
the,
the wasn't and the weight of it
on this grammatical
scale,
which is on this balance,
we have, first of all, to remove the
additional
letters from the word.
Because if you want to search in the
Arabic dictionary,
you have to go to the root
root.
Then you'll find the meaning of. For example,
if you want open a dictionary and you
want to find,
you have to go and search under the
root,
That where you'll find the definition of al
aqeedah.
So you have to
remove the additional letters
that been had been that,
be, had been added to the root.
And these letters,
you can write them down.
If you find them in any word, remove
them, then you will arrive at the root.
They are combined in one word,
saal tumu nihah.
Saal
tumu
nihah,
the sin, and the hamza, and the lamb,
and the and
the meem, and the waw, and the noon,
and the and the aleph.
So these are additional letters.
So
so we have to remove
and
and.
We remove them. So what we are left
with?
Okay. So this is the root.
So
on one side of the scale, taala, and
now we put taala.
Taala. But
but we want to know
the
weight
of aqidah, not aaqada.
Okay. So what are two letters
I need to add to akada to make
akida? The you
and tamalbupa.
And
And this is a balance.
You have to keep in mind. If you
put something on one side, a formula, you
have to balance it with it on the
other second
on the other side.
So now I added and
next to
so it became.
And then I have
I have to add and
it became.
I hope now it is clear to all
of you.
Means
was the the the wasn't of it, the
grammatical
wait waiting for it
on this scale,
the form of it will be,
fa'ilah.
What does fa'ilah mean?
Means When you've come across a word that
rhymes
and,
like and take the,
sounds like,
then it is.
For example,
someone who is killed.
Means Maktul,
someone who
is had been murdered, killed.
So means
something
tied, something
being
tied firmly.
So that's why we call it aqidah. It
is something mahud,
something
tied up in the heart.
So the matters
of the unseen that are tied in your
heart
is called Aqidah.
That set of
beliefs
about the unseen,
Jannah,
Malaika,
Hellfire,
Kursi,
Irish,
Sirat, different types of the garden,
household.
All these are an an
unseen. So they you believe and you're tied
then that belief in your heart.
So this what
the definition here is the the,
the belief of
the 2 madhah and
the is related to issues that are unseen
Unseen, you believe in them.
This
book, this
Quran,
There's no doubt in it.
It is a guidance for the righteous.
Those who believe in the unseen. So
the iman is to believe in the unseen,
things you didn't see.
Because you've been told
by Allah about them. So
we believe
in these things because Allah told us through
his prophet
That's the the
the the meaning of the iman.
I believe in the unseen
because Allah sent me a messenger,
prophet,
and this prophet showed me
a refutable
proofs,
tangible
proofs that he is sent by Allah, which
we call them moorghizaat,
medicals.
No human being can perform.
So then whatever this prophet tells me, I
have to accept.
I have to accept.
That's why
when,
the went
on the on the
night journey, the and
the next day, he informed Quraysh,
Abu Bakr was not present,
so
Abu Jahl passed by Abu Bakr
and he told him, oh, Abu Bakr, have
you heard what your friend is telling us?
Said, what did he tell you? Said he
told us last night he went to Jerusalem
and came back.
Said, did he tell you that? He said,
yes.
Then
the Abu Bakr said, he told you the
truth.
He told you the truth.
So Abu Bakr is not an issue.
He said, finish. He's Rasulullah.
He is Rasulullah.
Whatever he tells you,
accept it. He said he tells me,
in no time, Yabril came to him and
told him, I accept that.
So now he said he went overnight,
and came back. What's the issue?
This is the iman,
and this is the difference between the iman
of the Sahaba and our iman.
Sahaba iman is unshakable.
They believe in whatever the prophet
said.
Whatever.
1 of the Sahaba in one of the
battles,
he was eating few dates,
holding them in his hand, eating them. He
said, oh, prophet of Allah, what stops me
from the jannah? He said, what do you
have in your hand?
What stops you from the jannah? Eating this
this date. He said that it's a long
life. So he threw the dates
and
started to fight, and he was martyred.
Said it is a long life to finish
eating them. I want to go to Jannah.
That's it.
This is the relief.
Whatever the prophet
said, because
he doesn't speak out of his own
desire.
Power. He's inspired.
He is nothing he's not more than someone
who's inspired,
An
inspiration that has been inspired
and revealed
to
him.
So whatever
the prophet say to accept it.
No argument.
No argument.
Imam Malik
a man came to him, learned this lesson,
Said, oh,
Marek, I want to debate with you.
He said, okay.
And if I
win the debate, he said, I will follow
you.
Said, okay. Then the third one came after
I defeated you,
and he debated with me, and he won
the debate. What are you going to do?
He said, I'm going to follow him. He
said, okay.
You are in doubt.
Go and look for someone who is in
doubt like you.
You are doubter, so go and look for
another doubter.
I have no doubt about my deen.
No doubt. And we
have no doubts about our Islam.
But today,
ignorant Muslims,
the youth,
because they
didn't study the Deen.
Okay? They are not qualified.
Their minds are full of Shubhah doubts
because they go and
debate and argue
with the opponents of the deen without ill.
They go to the battlefield
without
weapons
without weapons.
That's why what you see
k?
Some of our brothers now are confused, or
some, they were died, and now they are
confused
because they were not fully equipped.
So they could not
combat and ward off the doubts.
So the enemies, they managed to shake their
faith
because the aqidah was not tied
firmly in the heart.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
The matters
are related to the unseen.
Don't you see today some,
they are
saying, where is this, the Dajjal
Antichrist?
The satellites,
they scan the entire planet.
So where is he?
So they are
denying
the existence of the Dijal because they're saying
satellite didn't show
the place of the Dijal is.
First of all,
this is an issue of belief.
We've been told about it,
and the prophet
told us to seek
Allah's protection
from the trial and the,
of the dajjal.
In our salah, we seek that.
Every Muslim said this.
Are you asking Allah to save you from
the
of the
and he doesn't exist.
So what is the benefit of seeking? Oh,
Allah protect me from something doesn't exist.
Hello? Hello?
Or, god and mother, where are they?
Those are trapped behind the wall, and
where are they? They're saying,
We we didn't see them because now
we know everything
on this earth. Who told
you? Who told you?
Every day, they are discovering
new things.
Every day about the earth.
And if you follow
this line,
then you have to deny
that shaitan is on earth.
It believes.
You have to deny that because you don't
see his throne,
though his throne is
on the water.
And the prophet
he confirmed that
when he asked Ibn al Sayed,
what
do you see? He says, I
see big throne and people around it.
He said, yes. That is the throne of
Iblis.
Iblis.
So you have to deny it because you
didn't see the throne of Iblis.
So it's not there
because you are you believe in this
small
objects re
orbiting the earth,
okay,
have limited resolution,
and you're expecting them to tell you everything?
And if Allah, for the sake of argument,
doesn't want you these things to be to
be,
discovered
yet
or to be to know to be known.
Isn't it difficult for
Allah?
But this is when
the believer, the and the unseen became so
weak so weak, and people became
materialistic
materialistic.
So
so all these issues
had been not mentioned
in the revelation,
the Quran,
or the authentic Sunnah,
we would have known nothing about them.
We would have known nothing about the Dhiyal
or about Gog and Magog,
or about the throne of a blaze. So
all these things.
But we've been told by
Allah who created us.
And he told us about these things,
so we have no issue. We have no
problem.
We have no problem.
And that is the real belief,
the belief in the.
Means this belief, this,
belief in the unseen,
issues, matters of the unseen,
we only take it
from the revelation.
They have to be mentioned
in the revelation,
the Quran
of the authentic sunnah,
because this is unseen.
Anyone
mentions
anything
about
the the unseen,
we have to ask him or her,
produce your evidence.
Where did you get this information?
Where did you get it?
This is the Quran, and this is the
sunnah.
That's it?
Is it mentioned there? No. So where did
you get this information from?
And there are many stories and many issues
you
you hear.
Many of them
are mentioned in
spurious and fabricated
hadith,
and they are
in circulation
over the net.
No. It's not.
And people, they just keep forwarding,
Or maybe you will be told if you
don't forward this in a this
hadith, something will happen to you.
So my advice to you, my dear brothers
and sisters,
verify
the information you receive
without
checking its
authenticity.
You are not allowed
to share it with anyone.
You receive something,
check its authenticity.
Hadith,
there are websites specialized,
will help you to
know the authenticity of this narration.
I
the books of tafsir are there.
You are not allowed to
forward it.
Check.
If you find it is
unauthentic,
delete it and send a message to the
sender.
Fear Allah,
and you should not do this thing.
I found out that this hadith is fabricated,
and this is the reference.
So please
send this warning to everyone that
you sent this message to him.
This how we can
stop those
people
from spreading
wrong information about our Islam.
Our Islam
is clear. Quran and Sunnah.
That's why
anyone anyone
comes, for example,
to say halal haram. See? Okay.
Who said it is haram? Allah?
The prophet
Oh, Mawlana.
Okay.
What is the proof of Mawlana that he
said it is haram?
Did he mention? No.
Ask him.
Because Allah
made everything halal for us
unless it is mentioned otherwise.
Everything is halal.
All types of food, halal. All types of
drinks, halal.
Anyone who comes and say, okay,
produce the evidence because Allah made everything halal.
And now you want to
specify and say this particular drink or food
is Haram.
Where is it mentioned?
K?
So the issues of
the the issues of the beliefs, which are
related to the unseen,
are
only
taken if they are mentioned
in the Kitab and Sunnah.
And they mentioned to you before,
if you recall,
the types
of hadith,
3 main
definitions
famous.
What you attribute to the prophet.
The saying of the
Sahabi.
The saying of the.
What you attribute to the prophet, and you
said the prophet
said this,
this is
because you are attributing it to the prophet.
And here, of course, we have to check
the isanad,
and it has to be traceable
that
all the narrators are there. No narrator is
missing.
So this is.
The saying of a like,
Sayed ibn Nujabayf, Sayed ibn Musayah,
Al Hasan al Basri, Tabay.
This is,
so it's not a it's not a an
authority. It's not a proof.
For example, if Al Hasan al Basri says,
Rasulullah
said this
without mentioning the Isanad,
this is called
Musal.
Musal.
It's called Musal, and Musal is part of
the week.
We don't accept it
because of Hashan adversary
did not see the prophet.
So they cannot. So something is missing. There
is not it's not
traceable. It's not
continuous.
The link is missing.
We have to know.
Whom
did Al Hasan Rahim Allah
whom did he hear this hadith from?
The same thing of Saeed
Saeed. Saeed ibn Saeed
Imam Shafi'i treated him specially,
make him a special case.
Imam Shafi'i, he accepts
the,
the musal of Imam Saeed ibn Saeed.
He said, I have checked and found out
most of
the Hadith.
If he said
Hadith without mentioning
the, the Sahabi,
it is actually
traceable,
and we heard it from his son-in-law, Abu
Huraira.
Because Abu Huraira's son-in-law of Said.
But the they disagreed with the
not always. So the mursal
is weak and will not accept
will not accept.
So anyone who comes and says
something, hey.
This deen is not a joke.
K? It's not a joke.
Show show the it's not.
The reason I mentioned this,
because if as a hobby,
keep this in mind,
if a Sahabi
said
talked about issues of and
sin
Without saying that he heard it from the
prophet
or without saying
this and that, but he mentioned issues related
to the.
We know the Sahaba,
they will never lie
against the prophet
We know that.
So if Sahabi,
a companion says
and mentions issues related to the,
then he must have heard
it from the prophet
He must have.
That's why they say,
He must have heard it from the prophet,
but not all the companions.
The ulama, they made exception.
If the companion
was
from the people of the scripture,
was a Jew or Christian,
like Abdullah ibn Salam was a rabbi or
Karb al Ahbar.
So for example, Abdulav nus Salam, if he
talks about issues of the unseen,
and he didn't say, I heard it from
the prophet,
we do not accept that from Abdulav nus
Salam.
Why?
Because there is possibility
that this
information
is taken from the
previous scripture,
not from the Quran and Sunnah.
And for that reason,
his narration
will not be accepted.
And listen until
he says, I
heard it from the prophet
or kabul Ahabar.
Or
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Aas.
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Aas,
He had
massive
loads of books
of the people of the scripture,
2 loads
of camels camel loads
of people of
the the scriptures, Jews and Christians, and they
used to read in them. So now if
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Mas'
mentioned any issue of without
saying that he heard it from the prophet
that will not be accepted from him. But
the rest of the Sahaba
who had no access to the
scriptures of the Jews and the Christians,
okay, and they were not Jews and Christians
then became Muslim,
then there's no problem. And that their statement,
they're saying, will be
treated as Mafur
as Mafur.
We take
our There's no room
for putting our own ideas,
our thoughts, our saying. I think this, I
think that. Who are you to think?
Keep your ideas with you.
This is what I think.
We don't care what you think.
This is an issue of iman.
Allah says
Do not trace
and track
that which you have no clue, no knowledge.
So hold your houses and respect
your gray matter. Respect yourself.
There's no way to know about the unseen.
Our apple, our mind is limited, my dear
brothers and sisters.
Limited.
This apple works only within
what is material, what is tangible, what is
physical.
See now?
You hear the knocks,
all of you.
Sound waves reach your ears.
So you heard the knocks.
Someone knocking in your door,
all of you who are in
inside a room will say somebody at the
door.
Someone should open for him.
No issue.
But now
try to imagine who is at the door.
Will you,
the audience,
agree on 1 person,
have the same mental picture,
or different mental pictures?
Some will say, oh, this is a boy.
This is a man. This is a woman.
This is, the little cat.
Different mental pictures. Why?
The problem that
we agreed in the beginning, unanimously, somebody knocking,
because this is within
the
range and the domain of the functionality
of the mind,
something material.
Ear waves
reach my ear,
vibration.
K?
Signal is conveyed to the brain, brain interpreted,
somebody at the door,
something tangible material.
But now
somebody
behind the door is unseen
unseen.
You can't see.
Though the
distance between you and the knocker
is only the thickness of the door, few
centimeters.
Yet
your apple, your mind cannot tell you who's
at the door.
So now when we started speculating,
guessing,
we got different mental visions,
because now our minds are lost,
because we are pushing the apple
into an area
doesn't fall within
its specialty,
its capacity.
This is a small example.
My uncle cannot tell me who is at
the door.
Do you expect my uncle to tell me
what is beyond this cosmos,
what is beyond this creation,
when it cannot tell me
who is at the door?
And the distance only
few centimeters?
Can this little gray matter
tell me
what is beyond
this creation?
Millions of light years.
No.
So let us
be humble
humble
And know our limitations.
Know our limitations.
Yes.
Maybe yesterday or day before yesterday, I saw
one of the of
the Maghrib.
He's.
He's and
he is.
He's refuting
a Muslim,
but this Muslim is ignorant
who's denying the,
Isra and the.
What is this that there are there is,
heavens and gates and, nothing is there.
All this universe is only gaseous matter, and
what is this
gates and
doors?
Because your mind cannot comprehend it. That's your
problem. That's it.
How I told you?
That the gates of the heavens and the
earth were not open for them. There are
gates,
and the prophet
the gates were opened for him, and Allah
took him.
And Allah said,
glory be to him, who said, Allah took
him. So what's your problem?
What is your problem?
Because if you
use this argument,
then you have to deny all the things,
all the medicals,
because your your mind cannot,
If I tell you someone was put into
the fire,
blazing fire, humid fire,
and nothing happened to him, even no single
hair
was burnt.
Will Akal comprehend it? No.
But because it is something supernatural,
this what happened to Ibrahim and his son,
the miracles.
Allah commanded the fire.
Be cool and safe for him.
So he was inside the fire, and nothing
happened to him.
How you
will your comprehend
the smell
of this medical?
That's why the definition of the miracle, the
margiza, is something supernatural
supernatural.
Will our your mind and your
comprehend and digest
that if you take a stick
and hit the water, you split the sea?
No.
Human mind cannot.
But Musa, he hid the sea with his
stick, and the sea split,
and the water solidified
like mountain.
And the bed of the sea became
dry, and Bani
Israel walked.
And this water is like that.
Water.
Water.
And they can see through.
Will the digest it? No. But this what
happened. So but, naturally, Allah told the water,
I created you and created all fluids
to flow horizontally,
but now I want you to go vertically.
Go up.
If you
spill tea or water
on the dining table, it will go like
that and fall.
It will not go like this,
but the water went like this.
Who told the water to go vertically
to the vertical position?
The one who created
it,
Allah.
If you are saying
my mind cannot take it, then you have
to deny this, what Allah said.
Musa alaihis salam has darker skin,
and one of his medicals, he put his
hand in his pocket and pull it out
white.
Darkest skin, and now his hand is white.
If I he told
this is sick,
became servant snake
and swallowed the the robes of the Magicians.
Will your mind comprehend it? No.
But this what happened.
It became
real snake. So you have to deny deny
that Ibrahim was thrown into the fire. You
have to deny that Musa
hit the sea. You have to deny that
his
the staff and the king of Musa
became a real servant,
Real serve. Real snake
and swallowed the robes of the magicians. And
the magicians themselves
realized
that this is a miracle. That's why they're
prostated,
and they became believers.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
these little minds are limited.
Limited.
Recently, you know, they sent
new
massive telescope,
more that more powerful than the Hubble,
and the scientists now are
are shocked
by the new images that are coming.
Totally different from what they
used to imagine and think of.
This universe,
Allah
said,
We are expanding it,
and he said, we are going to show
them
the signs
in themselves
and
in the horizons,
until it becomes vivid and clear to them
that this is the truth.
So so the issues of, issues of belief,
it's not left
for you to put your ideas
and your I think this this is my
idea. This is, this philosopher said this.
To the * with the philosophers.
Who cares?
Who's this philosopher?
All the philosophers are
confused, and they are in state constant state
of confusion.
I think Aristotle
say the the one thing I'm sure of
that I don't know anything.
I don't know
Yes. We know
now. Unseen, there's no way
to know about the unsee except
through the
authentic
texts,
revelation.
As Muslims,
Quran and Sunnah.
It's mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah. We
accept it.
Nothing mentioned Kitab and Sunnah.
We don't speculate.
We don't talk.
It's okay. Because whatever you say, whatever you
speculate,
you'll be questioned about it.
So stop speculating.
Just respect your mind and follow what your
creator told you.
We submit and accept what the revelation
tells us.
The supreme and the most beautiful example is
for Allah.
So Allah is beyond
analogy,
and you cannot compare Allah to any of
his creation.
You cannot make Allah analogous
to any of his creation
because he's unique.
There's nothing like unto him,
and he's all hearing,
or saying.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala increase our knowledge
in the deen,
and may Allah fill our hearts
with his fear,
and may Allah fill our hearts with his
love
And may Allah
forgive us all the faults and mistakes and
ignorance,
and may Allah
keep us remain
steadfast on this beautiful deed till we meet
Allah and find him please with all of
us. Amen.
And may Allah
unite over to the and guide them to
the and guide those Muslims who went off
the track
to come back
to
the right track.
And may Allah
And may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
immensely for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, we will start the question
and answers time now. Please send in your
questions fast if you like us to consider
them.
The first question received,
if knowledge becomes against
a person
when one seeks knowledge and ignorance could not
be an excuse.
Why is,
why is it better to not learn?
Okay. So
we know that the ignorant
will not be excused
because when you worship Allah,
k,
without knowing how to worship him, it is
just equal to disobeying him.
Like, you are disobeying Allah.
Allah told you and told us, told every
one of us
to learn
and to worship him correctly
because he created
us
to worship him, but he will not accept
from us any worship that we think, oh,
this is the way I I will worship
Allah. No.
He
wants us to worship him in a particular
way
as his prophet worshiped
him.
So he sent us this
model,
role model,
as an example.
An example.
So just follow him.
Play as your prophet played. I want you
to play this way.
Pray as you have seen me praying.
Perform your Hajj as my prophet performed it.
Learn your rituals of Hajj and rights
from me.
That's what Allah wants from us.
If
we worship Allah in different way, we will
not accept it
because just it is
equal to
disobeying him because he told us, worship me
as my prophet worshiped me, and now you
are,
worshiping him differently.
And that's why
Allah said,
Whatever
your prophet gives you, take it. And whatever
he forbids
you, abstain from it.
And ask the people of knowledge,
You don't know, ask the people who know.
So there's no excuse
that if you think that I remain ignorant,
so
I will be excused. No.
You are sinful,
and the one who worships Allah
while he is totally ignorant about the deen,
he is sinful, and he or she will
be punished for that.
And the ul Hammadi said,
the scholars of our Ummah,
if a Muslim scholar,
became corrupt.
He has knowledge, and he is not practicing
this knowledge, so he he became,
okay, corrupt, immorally,
So they say he will he resembles he
looks like the scholars of the Jews.
He's like the our bias of the Jews.
They have knowledge, and they are not
role
models. And if
someone, a Muslim,
should see it
and he worships Allah but
ignorant,
then he looks like and resembles the Christians.
Christians are sincere.
Sincere.
They think that they are what they are
doing is correct,
but what they are doing is wrong.
They are
on the wrong path.
The Christians. They don't have like
the Jews.
That's Allah said regarding the Jews.
They received
Allah's
wrath and anger. Where are the Christians? Allah
said up about them. They'll lead. They lost
the way. They are wandering in in blindness
and in total darkness
because they think
the holy trinity is correct. This belief that
concocted and made by
saint Paul
who misled
all the Christians.
All the Christians today,
who do believe in the name of the
father, the son, and the holy ghost, they
are not actually following Christ. They're following saint
Paul,
saint Paul.
So seeking knowledge
is the way
that will lead you by the grace of
Allah
to enter the Jannah,
And Allah loves those
who seek knowledge
because
they will fear Allah more.
Those who will fear Allah most are the
people of
knowledge.
Allah told his
prophet
increase me in knowledge.
And now you are saying the
is saying, I have no need for seeking
knowledge. I will tell his prophet,
ask more knowledge.
Would love me. Say, oh my lord,
increase me in knowledge.
So
my advice to all the sisters, all the
brothers, and the questioner,
whether he's male or female,
to learn your deen and ask Allah
for more Hidayah
and more knowledge, and ask
Allah
to show you
the path and to keep your remain treading
on the safe path and to sense in
your iman. May Allah fill our house with
the iman, and may Allah fill your heart
with the iman and
and keep your remain steadfast
until you enter the Jannah and you meet
your lord and you find him pleased with
you. Amen.
Next,
I hope this Amin,
If not the question, I can always
send a follow-up question.
Next question, Sheikh. Is it
permissible to use
soap
or lotion that has hemp seed oil in
it?
Has what?
Hemp seed oil.
This word I didn't hear. Hemp?
Hemp seed.
What's that?
It's a particular seed, Sheikh, that, I believe
let me just see.
It it it comes from, brown seeds from
cannabis,
plant.
Okay. Okay.
And they use this oil for what? For
Yeah. It is it is involved in the
manufacturing of the soap?
Yes, sir.
It is an ingredient, a key ingredient.
Okay.
I'll just give you a very simple rule
in sharia.
The prophet
said,
the prophet
And I want you, my dear brothers and
sisters,
whenever you hear the haveith of the prophet
imagine yourself
in front of him.
Just go back in time
1400
years ago,
and he is telling you
that
which means
leave that which you doubt
to that which you don't doubt.
Any doubtful matter, leave it.
Don't come to it.
Oh, this has
maybe negligible
amount
of percent of
fat of
pig.
Leave it.
Or this percentage
of alcohol,
leave it.
K?
So when you are doing your shopping,
read the ingredients,
do your homework,
and
anything
has any haram, doubtful things,
leave it on the shelf.
Because for sure,
there are different soaps
there.
They don't have any material, which is doubtful.
Soaps made of olive oil,
beautiful,
nice smell.
Why you want to smell this soap that
has this seed, which is
from the hashish
opium. Why you want to smell it?
So always, my dear brothers and sisters,
doubtful matters,
keep them aside. Don't come near to them,
And remember the hadith
where the prophet
said,
So the halal is clear. The haram is
clear.
And there is a gray matter
area in between,
gray area.
Said,
who used to leave
great
number and great percentage of halal
in order to
avoid falling into the gray area.
So I want you to draw 3 circles.
So you are in the
halal circle.
So
say, we will be at the end of
the halal circle.
So between us and the gray area,
most of the thing the of the circle
halal circle,
most of it, we leave it. Halal. We
know halal. We don't do it.
In order to keep this buffer zone
barrier between us and the gray area,
This is called
the warah, the fear of Allah, the taqwaah.
So if you are at the end of
the halal circle, there's no chance for you
to fall into the gray area.
Leave alone the Haram area.
Never.
But if you
consume all the halal,
so you are in the edge
of the halal,
just the border.
Now
the likelihood that you fall into the gray
area is very high.
Many of the Muslims today,
gray area means halal,
halal to them.
Shubhut,
doubt will not us.
Everything is halal.
So they finished this circle of the halal
and the gray area, and now they are
about to fall into
the Haram area.
And many, they fell already into that area.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
leave and
implement this hadith in your life.
Leave what is doubtful, what you doubt, to
that which you don't doubt
to that which you don't doubt. So my
advice for the questioner,
don't use it because there are other
alternative, and there's no necessity here.
It's not a necessity here. Like some medicines,
we have no other options like cough sylaps,
etcetera, and there are certain,
percent of alcohol.
That is a necessity, and necessity
dictates exception.
But here, there's non necessity.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Charlotte, it's clear here.
If a wife has rejected the rights to
be a wife
towards her husband and because of arguments,
she mishandling
she is now mishandling food items
in the kitchen.
Sheikh, did you hear me?
Yeah. Would you mind repeating the question? Okay.
If a wife has rejected the rights to
be
a wife for her husband
and because of
to be a wife to come to bed.
No, sir.
For husband and because of arguments, she's mishandling
food items in the kitchen
and always overcooking
and then throwing in the dustbin. Can the
husband stop providing the daily expenses?
The daily what?
Expenses.
Because she is always spoiling the food?
Yes. And overcooking and food is going to
the bin,
and,
this is the main reason.
Uh-huh. Listen to me, sisters.
This is
exclusively
for the sisters,
and the is
a product
of this,
negligence of the mothers.
Mothers in the past,
when the girl grows,
they take her to the kitchen.
The the mother teaches her.
K?
And she will be experimenting and make,
many wrong dishes, and the family, they will
eat
until
everything is perfect.
Because now she's going to move to another
house. She become she will become a wife
and then a mother.
And always, sisters,
you want your husband to love you?
I'll tell you a secret.
You want to know the secret?
You want to know the key
to his heart?
Don't tell anyone.
No? His stomach.
The key
to the man's heart is his stomach.
Give him good food.
He will love you.
So,
mothers,
take your daughters to the kitchen.
Otherwise,
there will be, like,
the questioner
this question.
She doesn't know how to cook, and many
times she
overcook the food, and then the food has
to be throbbed,
and the husband is suffering.
So my advice for the questioner, don't take
it personally. I don't know you,
but this is advice from
your uncle,
old man.
Life taught me.
Okay?
Learn.
Learn.
Take courses
of cooking. Yes.
And
the husband,
he got fed up, maybe,
one time, two times, three times. But every
time the food is thawed, food is thawed,
so he wants to discipline her.
K?
So
correct?
Your mistakes.
Learn the
art of cooking.
Ask the people who are experienced,
put the correct ingredients
and the correct
quantities,
k,
and measure the temperature.
We are putting something
in the oven.
There are tools will help you. You can
see the temperature
so the meat will not be over burned,
etcetera.
So my advice for you is to learn
and ask him.
Okay. My husband,
I'm learning, and just help me.
Okay? And, be patient with me. Okay? I
didn't,
learn cooking.
K?
This
this my problem,
and now I am suffering,
but I promise you I will improve.
And husband, they have to tolerate this
and help your wives to to learn.
Right? Can go out and register in some
courses?
Or if your mother is still alive and,
can help you,
tell her mother.
Show me your expertise, what do you I
should do? Because the problem nowadays, the girl's
being bla blanewashed.
Oh, what? You want me to go to
the kitchen
to cook for him?
I'm not a slave.
They brainwashed the girls.
Cook for him?
No. He can order food.
See?
What the husband wants from his wife?
Intimacy?
No.
He wants
to have happy life, marital life.
He cares for him.
He cares for him.
He likes her food.
Maybe they are servants. I don't want the
servant to cook. I want you to cook.
As one of the brothers, Ibrahe
said,
my wife
brings me the breakfast
in bed.
Excellent.
This sister.
He is intelligent and smart, and she loves
her husband
because this is the key
to his heart.
Like, if he's just
they're newly married
throughout their life.
He gets up in the morning. He prays,
and he heads to the kitchen,
fixes him the his breakfast.
My dear husband,
enjoy your meal.
You don't know what you do to him.
You make his day.
He will be crazy about you.
He will love you more.
Not that.
He he is now going to the office,
and you are still asleep.
So he has to rush to the kitchen
to fix himself something and
sandwich.
What? And he's a married husband?
Wake up, sisters
and daughters.
Get rid of this
brainwashing
and the influence of the feminist movement.
Get rid of that.
You are a Muslimah.
When you obey your husband,
you are obeying Allah.
Obeying Allah
And, you know, the prophet
said, if a woman plays her 5 prayers
and first her months,
Ramadan,
and
protects her private part from haram, from zina,
cheating on her husband,
and obeys her husband,
what's the reward of profit?
All the 8 gates of the jannah will
be opened for her.
So in the day of resurrection,
Malaika telling you, oh, so and so, come
here. No. Come here. Come here.
Because you obeyed your husband.
So obeying your husband, you're obeying.
So my advice for the sister,
roll up your sleeves, start learning
cooking, and don't spoil the food anymore.
Okay? And this is my advice for all
the sisters.
Take your daughters with you to the kitchen
so that when
they leave
the house
with their husbands,
every time
you visit
your son-in-law
and he cooks,
and he will be smiling.
My mother-in-law,
You brought her up very well,
and you taught her how to cook.
May Allah reward you all.
May Allah bless you all.
Next question, please.
Next question, Sheikhna. How to achieve Hassan
and maintain it?
How to attain Hassan and maintain it?
Yes, Sheikh.
May
Allah give us the to reach the level
of because the level
of K. That means you,
person already
finished
the Islam phase and the iman phase. Now
he's reached the Islam phase,
and that's the real when
you worship Allah as if you are seeing
him. Though you are not seeing him, he's
seeing you.
So everything is for himself for the sake
of Allah.
K? You do everything
that Allah tells you
just to please him.
Allah told you this.
I hear and I obey.
And this needs.
There's no
magical,
prescription for this.
K? There's no pill for it. No.
This needs
struggle,
strive.
So it needs
training,
constant
against the struggle
against the because
the is against you.
The pulls you back, doesn't want you to
reach the level of Al Hassan,
Doesn't want you to get up and pray
tahajjud.
Doesn't want you to pray too fast Monday
or Thursday.
Doesn't want you to do good deeds.
So
this means
struggle
and
jihad and strive
against
the the desires,
the whims,
what the
nafs
dictates.
So it reached the level of Allah's
son.
See, the prophet,
he used to pray at night
till his feet would swell.
This is the prophet.
And when he was told,
oh, prophet of Allah, you pray until your
feet swell, and Allah forgave you everything, all
your
sins, past,
future,
says. Shouldn't I be
a grateful servant to Allah?
Thankful to Allah
And Allah
facilitates
when he sees
that we are struggling, and if he sees
that we are sincere,
he gives us
the help
as he promised.
When he's so first, we have to struggle
and give this efforts,
exert our utmost effort.
Then,
We will guide them. We will facilitate
our to them our ways of good, the
ways
of
higher. So they reach the ishah misgihad,
refraining from the haram, as refraining from the
doubtful
matters
and gray area.
Do like Sayedna Umar did.
Leave most of the halal and stay always
on the safe side. That is when one
can reach the level of the and
the love of the dunya.
We need to reduce our love for the
dunya.
Who should be content and
satisfied with a little of it?
K?
Invest in the.
I okay. I want to buy,
this thing. Oh, it is so expensive.
I can't buy something. Will do.
And the rest, I can
deposit in my balance in the.
I give it for charity.
Charity.
So when we always keep the in our
minds and thinking about the
as
in the hadith,
If you are in the morning, don't expect
expect to live until the night. If you
are in the night, don't expect to live
until
the morning. If we have lived in that
mood,
then the duniya, the life of the duniya
will not go. What will be reduced?
But the problem nowadays,
all of us, what
bothers us and what reoccupies
our minds,
the love of dunya.
Love of dunya.
May Allah save us from the of the
dunya, and may Allah
give us the success
and the support
and the strength to reach the level of.
I mean, I hope this is clear to
the question.
It is clear Sheikh. That will be the
final question. That was the final question for
today.
We'll be able to take more questions next
time. If you like to conclude, Sheikh.
May Allah bless you. Bless your family, and
may Allah protect you, protect your family. And
may Allah
elevate your status, my dear brothers and sisters,
in this dunya
and in the
and may Allah
keep us remain steadfast in this beautiful deed
till we meet Allah and find him pleased
with all of us. I mean,
may
Allah unite
our May Allah unite our hearts May Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
Until we meet in the coming session,
I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
