How are you Shaykh?
Alhamdulillah.
So we will be starting the lesson inshallah.
As-salātu wa-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa
-barakātuh.
Dear respected students, may Allah bless you all
for your attendance.
Today we are covering the virtues of Islam
by Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab, rahim al-Ali.
Just a quick reminder, please take notes, listen
attentively, and send your questions over to me
throughout the course of the lesson.
With that said, I'd like to hand it
over back to the sheikh, barakAllahu feekum, as
-salamu alaykum.
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Inna alhamdulillahi mahmuduhu wa nasta'aynuhu wa nastaghfiruhu.

The Prophet asked the Messenger of Allah, what
is Islam?
He replied, to submit your heart to Allah
and the Muslims will submit by your tongue
and by your hand.
The Prophet asked the Messenger of Allah, what
is Islam?
He replied, to submit your heart to Allah
and the Muslims will submit by your tongue
and by your hand.
That people should be safe from your evil.
So here, when the Prophet was asked, he
said in Islam that you submit first of
all your heart to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
So this total submission to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala by doing what he commands and
abstaining from what he forbids.
Then here, he mentioned how the true Muslim
should behave.
That your brothers and sisters should be safe
from your evil.
The evil of your tongue and the evil
of your hand.
This tongue, you need to control it and
you don't articulate with it except what is
khair, what is good.
Whoever believes in Allah on the last day
should say something good or keep quiet.
So before you open your mouth, think what
are you going to say.
If it is good, say it.
If it is evil, abstain from it.
Don't proceed.
Don't just let your tongue work 24x7, talk
and talk.
Because when you talk a lot, you make
mistakes a lot and then you'll be held
accountable for what you attempt.
So this tongue needs to be controlled.
And I mentioned to you many times what
Sayyidina Abu Bakr used to say.
He would hold his tongue and he would
say, you are the one that is going
to ruin me, destroy me.
So try to control your tongue.
The moment you say something, it is written
whether it is for you or against you.
So be careful.
And that's why the Prophet said, he who
keeps quiet, he will be delivered when you
keep quiet.
You keep quiet in the sense that you
refrain from indulging and entertaining evil things.
And keep it busy with the dhikr, istighfar,
tahleel, reading of the Qur'an, enjoying what
is right, forbidding what is evil.
Okay.
So the two Muslims and the true Muslim
is the one that all his brothers, the
Muslims are safe from his evil of his
tongue and his hand.
Then he was asked about the best of
this deen.
What's the best of Islam?
He said, al-iman.
The best thing is al-iman, the belief
itself, the faith.
Because without iman, one's life will be aimless,
no goal, no objective.
And you will be just living like the
animals and eat, drink, copulate and reproduce.
And that's it.
Just like the rest of the kingdom of
animals, the animal kingdom.
But the iman, you have the iman.
People without iman, Allah said and described them,
those who have no iman, they don't know
why they are in this way.
What's the purpose of your, ask anyone of
them, what's the purpose of your existence?
To have fun, to enjoy life.
So he doesn't know the purpose of life.
He doesn't know the purpose of life.
Why do we exist?
So when there's no iman, no belief, and
the belief is very essential for any human
being.
You have to believe in something.
Even those who say we don't believe, they
believe in something.
Because if you ask him, take this poison,
he will not take it.
Because he believes that the poison will kill
him.
If you bring fire next to him, he
will run away because he believes the fire
will burn him.
So no human being can say, I don't
believe.
Because the belief is something inherent within you.
You have to believe in something.
So that's why when you fall sick, even
the atheists will run to the hospital.
Because he believes that he has to seek
medication.
He believes that this medicine will be a
cause of curing him.
When you become hungry, you eat because you
believe taking food will remove your hunger.
When you are thirsty, you fetch for water
because you believe the water will be a
cause for quenching your thirst.
So you cannot say I don't believe.
You just lie.
That's why.
If this atheist, for example, is under trouble
and he's facing death, he will shout and
he will start screaming, oh my God, oh
my God.
No, when he was relaxed, no God, there's
no God.
But now when he is in trouble, he
is screaming, oh my God.
So the Iman, my dear brothers and sister,
is very, very important.
And the Iman brings this serenity in the
heart.
Because you believe.
Whatever happens in this world, there is one
behind it, who is planning, who is decreeing
these things.
And there's wisdom behind whatever is happening in
his kingdom.
Because he's the all wise, Al-Hakim.
So whatever happens to you, the Iman, by
the grace of Allah, helps you to go
and pull through that calamity and the sufferings
and all these agonies because of the Iman.
But when you don't have Iman, you will
start, why?
Why?
What did I do?
Why is it happening to me?
But if you have the Iman, you know
whatever is happening to you, it is good
for you.
Because you believe that the one who created
you, he knows what is good for you.
And you know he is just, so he's
not going to be unfair to you and
he's not going to wrong you.
So whatever happens to you is khair, no
doubt.
That's why we as Muslims, we perceive all
tribulations, all calamities, all these things as khair,
win-win.
It's win-win.
And we are optimistic.
And the believers should be always optimistic and
should not be pessimistic.
And should never despair of Allah's rahmah, of
Allah's mercy.
They should not.
Because despairing of Allah's mercy leads to blasphemy.
You become blasphemer, you become disbeliever.
Okay.
So never lose hope and never think evil
or have bad thoughts or entertain bad thoughts
in your mind about your creator.
The Iman.
The Iman stops you from all these things.
So what is the Iman?
So the Prophet explained the Iman in this
hadith and in many other hadiths, the famous
hadith, the hadith of Jibreel.
They explained the Iman, disbelief.
To believe in Allah.
This is very important thing.
I believe in Allah.
What does it mean I believe in Allah?
Yes, I believe in him.
I believe in his existence.
I believe in his wisdom.
I believe in his power.
I believe in his wise wisdom.
Nothing happens in his kingdom without wisdom behind
it.
I believe that he is the most powerful.
No one can defeat him.
I believe that victory comes only from him.
I believe that my strength is only from
him.
Without Allah, I am helpless and powerless.
So when you have this belief in Allah
and you believe that Allah is with you.
You become strong and you have a strong
heart because Allah is with you.
Allah is with you.
So try to internalize these meanings.
And feel it.
I have Allah.
I have my creator with me.
That's why the Prophet was consoling and allaying
and soothing the fears of Abu Bakr in
the cave.
Abu Bakr.
Don't be sad.
Grieve not.
Why?
Because Allah is with us.
That's the fruit of the Imam.
Sayyidina Musa, when his people are telling him,
see the sea in front of us and
the troops behind us.
There were two arrests.
He said, no way.
Why?
Don't you see the troops and the sea
in front of us?
He said, yes, I know that.
But he will not desert me.
I didn't take you, O Bani Israel, from
Egypt according to my own decision.
He told me to take you out.
So he's not going to desert us.
And he told them, this is it.
You have this belief.
You believe Allah is with you.
I have my Rabb with me, my Lord.
Since you believe that we are with you,
yes, we are with you.
Just hit the sea.
Strike the sea with your cane, with your
staff, and you know the sea is split.
So this is what the Iman does.
You have this confidence, collectiveness, self-composure, serenity,
peace of mind, calm, because you believe
in Allah.
And you know Allah, no one can defeat
Allah.
So you have to be striving and working
hard to make sure that Allah is on
your side.
That's the most important thing.
Make sure that Allah is on your side.
How can I make sure that Allah is
on my side?
By obeying him.
When I obey him, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
and I do the do's and leave the
don'ts, he will be on my side.
And he will be supporting me.
And he promised that.
Allah defends the believers.
Allah defends the believers.
He defends them.
So try and work hard, my dear brothers
and sisters, everyone, to actualize this Iman and
feel it.
Not just lip service, or you memorize all
the pillars of the Iman, but they have
no impact, no impact on your heart.
That's why the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
for all the Meccan period, 13 years, all
this period, he was drilling, instilling, planting these
concepts, these articles of faith in the hearts
of the Sahaba.
So when these things touched their hearts, the
Iman and the belief in Allah, they were
able, by the grace of Allah, to withstand
and endure the persecutions and the torture and
the sufferings they went through.
Bilal, they would drag him on the hot
sand with the rock, big stone on his
chest, naked almost.
And he would only say, ahadun ahad, ahadun
ahad.
Later on, he said, chanting ahadun ahad, saying
ahadun ahad, the sweetness of it was overcoming
the agonies and the pains.
When I'm saying ahadun ahad, the sweetness and
the feeling, I feel that this helps me
to overcome and to endure the pains.
So when you have this Iman in Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, so you believe in
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, you believe in
his names, you believe in his attributes, you
believe in his ma'iyah, the ma'iyah
of Allah, the witness of Allah, Allah is
with you.
When you have that feeling, Allah is with
me, wherever you are, Allah is with you,
that strengthens your heart and brings about that
serenity and certainty, the yaqeen.
So you believe in Allah, and then you
believe in the malaika, and what also will
strengthen our Iman, that we know Allah, many
of us we don't know Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
So how can we increase our knowledge about
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
By studying his names, study the names of
Allah, study the names of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, and call upon him by his
names, each name should have impact on your
Iman.
Allah is the hafidh, Allah is the protector,
so he is my protector, no one can
protect me but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
If you believe that he is your protector,
he is my provider, so he is going
to provide for me, so I will not
worry about my sustenance, my provision, he is
the one who is going to provide for
me.
Yes, I have to look for my livelihood,
but at the end of the day, everything
is in his hand, he is the provider,
so I don't have this anxiety of rizq,
because Allah is my provider.
So if you study the names of Allah,
that he is your Rizq, he is your
protector, he is with you, he hears you,
so I believe that he hears me, and
just ask him whenever I am in need.
Your Lord says, call upon me, I will
respond to your call, so I know, he
hears me, so I ask him, I call
him.
I believe he is Al-Basir, so I
know he is seeing my situation, he is
seeing my situation, and since he is seeing
my situation, I am sure and content, whatever
is happening to me, is good for me.
So I just keep asking him, my Lord,
strengthen my faith, strengthen my iman, keep me
remain steadfast, I don't want to become weak,
and then become ungrateful to you, or go
back on my heels.
So I keep begging him to strengthen me,
and to take my soul, while I am
in total state of submission to him.
So you believe in Allah, so study the
names of Allah.
So get a book, there are many books
there, by scholars who are following the
Aqidat Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah, the Sahaba
Tabi'een.
Study the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, and I always recommend that every one
of you, every Muslim should read the whole
series of Sheikh Dr Omar Suleiman Al Ashqar
rahimahullah ta'ala.
Read it, I recommend it, and it's there
on the net, you can download it.
So if you read this series, understand this
series, you will have inshallah strong iman, and
you will know all the details of these
things.
What is the meaning of believing in Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, believing in the Malaika,
because one of the books there is the
world of the angels, so everything you want
to know about the Malaika, the angels, is
mentioned.
And you believe in the angels, and these
angels, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created them
for many tasks to do, and they are
always engaged in celebrating and praising Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And they can never, and they cannot, disobey
him.
In the hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, there is no spot in the
Jannah, in the skies, in heaven.
Okay, equal or equivalent, that area of this
span, small area, except there is an angel,
either prostrating or standing.
There are so many.
And every day, the Bayt al-Ma'mud, which
is above the Kaaba, but it is the
Kaaba of the Malaika in heaven, 70,000
angels, they make tawaf every day, and they
will never come back, they will be replaced
with a new group.
Can you imagine, from the time Allah created
them.
Mind-blowing, you cannot imagine the number of
the Malaika.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said,
on the night of Fajr, Ramadan.
On the night of Fajr, Ramadan, the number
of angels on earth as many as the
number of the stars in the sky.
On that night, peace, peaceful night.
Till the day breaks, till dawn.
No one knows the number.
The Hellfire.
يُؤْتَى بِجَهَنَّمِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفِ زِمَامٍ
بِكُلِّ زِمَامٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ Now make the
arithmetic, make the calculation.
Multiply 70,000 by 70,000.
The Hellfire will be dragged, pulled, by the
Malaika, to place it under the Sirat, the
bridge.
It has 70,000 handholds.
And each handhold is held by 70,000
angels.
Imagine.
Who are pulling the Hellfire.
Something we cannot imagine.
And this shows that the Hellfire is so
vast and so big.
Because if the disbeliever, the kafir, in the
Hellfire, his body would be gigantic.
His position, his seat, the way, the distance
he occupies in the Hellfire is like the
distance between Mecca and Medina.
Can you imagine his body?
Then you can imagine the size.
Try to get an idea about the size
of the Hellfire.
Something beyond our human mind's capacity.
And the Malaika, only Allah knows their physique,
their forms.
The Prophet ﷺ has said, I
was allowed to describe one of the angels
who hold the Arsh or carry the Arsh.
The throne.
Yes, I was allowed to describe one of
them.
He said the distance between his earlobe and
shoulder, that will be covered in 700 years.
Okay, something you cannot comprehend.
That's why they don't appear in their angelic
form, because it's difficult for us to endure
and understand that.
That's why Gabriel used to come in the
form of a human being.
To make it easy for the Prophet ﷺ
to interact with him.
But when he saw him in his real
form, angelic form, when he spread just one
wing, Gabriel ﷺ, he covered the horizon with
it.
The horizon with it.
When Allah sent Gabriel ﷺ to approach the
town of Sudun, people of Lut, he just
carried the whole town, dwelling city, on one
of his wings.
And he took it out.
Flew with it.
* is close to the first heaven.
That means he passed over what we see.
And the Malaika were able to hear the
barks of their dogs and the cries of
their roosters.
Then he inverted the city.
Excavations revealed the dwellings are inverted.
That's Gabriel ﷺ.
But most of the time he would come
in the form of a human being.
So it's easy for the Prophet ﷺ to
communicate with him.
And he would look like one of the
Sahaba, Dhi al-Kalbi.
And you know the famous hadith of Gabriel
when he came, he asked about Islam, Iman,
like a human being.
Human being.
So the Malaika, so you believe in these
creatures, these angels that Allah created them.
And there are so many.
And they have many, many tasks to do.
Some, like Yibra'il, Yibra'il is the
ambassador between the creator and the messengers.
He's the one, the archangel, who comes with
the revelations.
Mikael, Michael, is the one who's in charge
of the rain.
Okay.
So they have different jobs, different tasks, different
missions.
Some they are protectors, with us, to protect
us.
They're angels, angels from behind you and before
you, in front of you.
They are protecting you.
Every night an angel spends the night with
you in your bed to protect you.
So that's why you feel that the peasants,
there are Malaika around me.
So your home should be a good place
and inviting the Malaika to enter.
Because these Malaika, they make dua for you.
So if your house is full of angels,
you feel this happiness.
The effect of the presence of the Malaika,
peace.
But if you have pictures in your home,
or dogs, then the Malaika of Rahma, they
don't enter your house.
So who will replace the Malaika?
Who will make dua for you?
Shayateen.
And unfortunately, many of our homes are full
of devils.
And problems.
No peace.
Because there are pictures all over the place.
And there are dogs, Muslims now starting having
dogs inside their homes.
Emulating the rejecters of the truth.
And you don't know that if you have
a dog every day, a big chunk of
your good hasanat, good deeds is wasted.
You're losing it.
You are not allowed to have a dog,
except if it is a watchdog for guarding
outside, not inside the home.
Or for helping the shepherd.
Or protecting the flock or the farm.
But to have a dog inside, no.
Ibrahim, peace be upon him, one day he
promised to see the Prophet, peace be upon
him.
And the Prophet, peace be upon him, was
waiting.
And he didn't show up.
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, realized
something must be wrong.
Ibrahim didn't enter the house.
And he told him, because there is a
dog in your house.
And there is a statue.
So cut the head of the statue, that
piece of statue, so it will look just
like a tree.
And they searched and they found a small
dog, puppy, entered.
And they removed.
So my dear brothers and sisters, remove if
you want your home to have a place
of peace and serenity.
So the malaika, protectors, they can dua for
you.
And when there are malaika in the home
around you, we need to respect them.
Respect the angels.
Don't walk naked in your house.
I'm alone, so I'm walking naked.
No, don't do that.
There are malaika around you.
That's why the Prophet, peace be upon him,
said, shouldn't I feel shy of a man
that the malaika feel shy of him?
And that is Uthman.
Uthman.
So if there are malaika around you, don't
walk naked.
Because many people, they just at home, they
feel that they are like animals.
No, suffer yourself.
When you are in the bedroom, husband and
wife.
Then you can remove your clothes.
And before removing your clothes, you say bismillah.
So that the shayateen will become blind and
will not be able to see you.
And you don't sleep naked.
In afternoon in Tennessee, get up, take udhu,
and wear something.
Don't sleep naked.
They are malaika, they are angels.
And the malaika, Allah created them from light.
From light.
And they don't disobey Allah.
They just do whatever they are commanded and
told.
Allah tells us about two angels.
Whom Allah sent to Iraq, Babylon, Harut and
Marut.
As a trial, as a test.
And they were teaching the people sorcery, witchcraft,
magic.
But before teaching, they would warn the one
who's going to learn the witchcraft.
That we are tests, fitna.
Do not disbelieve.
So remember what Allah sent to the people
of Babylon.
Harut and Marut.
And before they teach anyone, they tell him.
We are a test.
Don't learn.
Don't learn the sorcery.
You will become disbeliever.
Just teach me.
So they learn from these two angels.
Whom Allah sent as a test.
So they learn from them the sorcery.
Sorcery.
Magic.
By which they cause division between husband and
wife.
And separate them and make them hate one
another.
Some people, they try to be, I mean,
intelligent.
How come angels, they teach kufr.
They say, we are a fitna.
We are a test.
And they cannot disobey Allah.
Allah told them, do this.
So they tell you, we are only a
test.
So they warn you and they tell you,
don't learn from us.
Witchcraft.
Sorcery.
So Harut and Marut are two angels.
And of course, there are fairy tales you
find in the books about them.
All that is not true.
So here's the Prophet, he mentioned, you believe
in Allah.
And in the malaika.
And you believe in the books.
The books Allah sent down.
Because Allah is just.
So he sent messengers.
To every nation.
Every nation.
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةِ الرَّسُولَةِ وَنَعْبِدُ اللَّهُ
وَيْتَنِي وَبَعْدُهُ Every nation.
Allah sent them warners, messengers.
Proclaiming, calling them, inviting them.
To believe in Allah.
And to shun false objects of worship.
وَنَعْبِدُ اللَّهُ وَيْتَنِي وَبَعْدُهُ وَيْتَنِي وَبَعْدُهُ And stay
away and shun.
False objects of worship.
And he sent books.
For the guidance of mankind.
Some of these books mentioned.
Some.
We don't know about them.
That's why.
Some of the ulama are saying perhaps.
Because you find, for example, in some of
the books of the Hindu.
The Vedas.
There are detailed information.
About the Prophet Muhammad.
So this perhaps.
A scripture.
Then it was.
Adulterated.
Or things were added to it.
And some fragments of the truth remain.
Because Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la,
he sent.
To every nation.
A messenger.
But the books we know of, we've been
told.
Is the Torah.
And before that the Suhuf.
The scrolls.
That were given to Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam.
Suhuf Ibrahim wa Musa.
Suhuf Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam.
Zaboor.
Of David.
Dawood Alayhi Salaam.
They translate as the Psalms.
But we believe in the Zaboor.
Not the Psalms.
And the Old Testament.
Talks about.
Praises of Allah.
That David Dawood Alayhi Salaam used to.
To praise Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la.
And clarify it.
And we have the Torah.
The Torah.
The law.
That Allah wrote.
For Musa Alayhi Salaam.
And handed over the tablets to him.
On the Mount of Sinai.
The Torah.
We believe in that as Muslims.
We believe in the Torah.
That was given to Moses Alayhi Salaam.
And he carried the Torah with him.
But when he saw.
That his people.
Worshipped the calf.
He threw the Torah.
Out of anger.
And he pulled his brother Aaron.
By his beard and his head.
So we Muslims believe in the Torah.
That's why.
During the time of the Prophet.
Incident happened.
A Jew and the Jewish.
Jewish man Jewish woman.
Committed Zina.
Adultery.
So the ruling in the Torah.
Is to be stoned to death.
Even today still there.
Stoning to death.
So the rabbis.
They said.
To each other.
Let us go to Muhammad.
Maybe there is something less.
The punishment is less.
So they came to the Prophet.
And they presented the case.
So the Prophet asked them.
What is the ruling in the Torah?
They didn't tell him the truth.
They told him we insult them.
Blacking their faces.
And maybe lash them and that's it.
So he told them go and fetch the
Torah.
Bring the Torah.
Bring it.
The Torah.
Bring it.
So they brought the Torah.
A Torah.
And one of the rabbis was reading.
So when he reached.
The ruling and the verse that talks about
stoning them.
Stoning their delta and the delta.
He covered.
The verse.
By then Abdullah.
Who was a rabbi and became a Muslim.
He told him.
Why did you cover the verse?
Remove your hand.
And it is there.
That they should be stoned to death.
The Prophet said by Allah.
Today I will rule.
I will apply the ruling of the Quran.
And the ruling of the Torah.
And they were stoned to death.
So we Muslim.
We believe in the Torah.
That was given to Musa alayhi salam.
That is the Torah we believe in.
And then we believe in the Injil.
The Evangel.
The Gospel.
The good news.
That is the Injil we Muslim believe in.
The one that was given to Isa alayhi
salam.
The book today.
The people of the book they have.
The Bible and Bible means only a book.
Doesn't mean anything.
And it is two parts.
The Old Testament and the New Testament.
The Old Testament supposed to be.
Representing.
The the Torah or the five.
First five books of the Old Testament.
And the New Testament supposed to be.
The Gospel.
But.
When you read.
They themselves they tell you they're.
The Christian.
Scholars.
Theologians.
That these Gospels according to.
You'll never find in the New Testament.
The Gospel according to Jesus.
You'll find just according to Mark.
Luke Matthew and John.
And you see the discrepancies there.
So we Muslims when they say we believe
in the Injil.
We believe in that Gospel that was given
to.
Isa alayhi salam.
We believe in all the books.
That were revealed by Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
And then we believe in the Rasul.
All the messengers.
Whom Allah sent and there are so many.
Because Allah said.
Into every nation he sent a messenger.
So we believe in all of them.
In totality.
In general.
And those who.
Were mentioned by names.
In particular.
And we make no distinction between them.
We believe in all of them.
We believe in all of Allah's messengers.
May Allah's peace and blessings upon all of
them.
You have to believe in resurrection after death.
Because death is not the end.
Death is only the beginning.
Of another life.
Which is we call.
Barzakh life.
Transitional phase.
Between this life.
There's a transitional phase Barzakh and then the.
Eternal life.
So we are going to be resurrected.
Whether you are.
Cremated whether you are.
Buried whether you are.
Eaten by animals.
Allah will bring us all back into life.
Don't think it is impossible.
Don't be.
Silly like.
Umayya ibn Khalaf who came.
And he.
Carrying a decayed bone.
Bone.
Bone in his hand.
This.
Old bone.
He crushed it.
And made it a powder.
And he said oh Muhammad.
You say that Allah will bring us back
into life.
When we are like this and he blew
it.
The answer came from Allah.
You are sitting.
And coining for us.
Parables similitudes.
And you forgot your own creation.
And you ask.
Who will bring.
Give life to this.
Bone.
These bones.
After they were decomposed and decayed.
The answer from Allah came.
The one who created these.
Bones from nothing in the first place.
When he created Adam.
He is the one who is going to.
Bring them back.
And you know.
The story which is in the Quran.
And in the Torah as well.
Of Ezra.
Who passed by.
By city.
By dwelling.
Ruins.
No life.
So he.
Said.
How is Allah going to bring this back
into life.
So Allah caused him to die.
He and his donkey.
And he remained.
Dead for a hundred years.
And he asked him.
How did.
How long.
Did you stay.
Or did you sleep.
He said.
A day.
Maybe a day.
Or half of a day.
Because nothing changed.
He looked into himself.
His clothes.
Okay.
His.
Beard.
His color of his beard.
Still.
Young.
No gray hair.
So he said.
Maybe he just slept.
Half a day.
Or maybe.
Half of a day.
And his food is still fresh.
But cannot be hundred years.
But then Allah showed him something else.
He told him.
No.
Look.
You stayed.
You remain.
And this is sleep.
Dead for a hundred years.
Century.
Look to your donkey.
His donkey.
Nothing there.
Only the bones.
Then Allah told him.
Now see.
How.
I'm going to.
Bring your donkey.
Into life.
So all these.
Bones.
Started joining together.
Skeleton is formed.
Flesh is covered.
Now the donkey is alive.
So.
Nothing is.
Difficult for Allah.
And Allah wants.
Something.
He says to it.
Be.
And it is.
Okay.
So may Allah strengthen.
Our Iman.
And your Iman.
And may Allah.
Subhanahu.
Wa Ta'ala.
Grant us good ending.
And take our souls to him.
When he is pleased with us.
And may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Forgive us all.
Of faults and mistakes.
And ignorance.
And may Allah Subhanahu.
Wa Ta'ala.
Bless us.
With the beneficial.
Knowledge of righteous deeds.
And may Allah Subhanahu.
Wa Ta'ala.
Keep us.
Remain steadfast.
On this beautiful deed.
Until we meet Allah.
Subhanahu.
Wa Ta'ala.
And find him pleased.
With all of us.
Ameen.
May Allah Subhanahu.
Wa Ta'ala.
Unite our.
Ummah.
And the Haqq.
And may Allah.
Unite our hearts.
And the Haqq.
And may Allah.
Subhanahu.
Wa Ta'ala.
Reward all of you.
My dear brothers.
And sisters.
Immensely.
For your patience.
And attendance.
May Allah help you.
May Allah reward you with good.
May Allah be with you all.
Assalamu'alaikum.
Assalamu'alaikum.
I believe the host is on his way
back from the masjid, InshaAllah.
Okay, just forward the questions, please.
Yes.
I've already done.
The first question is there.
Okay.
Okay, bismillah.
Is it true that the signs after istikara
can be seen by a dream?
I have heard Shaykh Mughbil Ibrahim Allah prayed
istikara and saw a dream that his neck
was growing and he cut it.
He then interpreted the dream.
This incident led me to ask him this
question.
Yes, yes, I got it.
The dream or seeing something is not necessarily
you have to wait for it.
Sometimes you might see a dream, okay, to
give you an indication that you proceed or
not to proceed.
So what you have to do once you
pray istikara you just go ahead.
If it happens that what Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala decreed for you and chose for
you, if it didn't that is the outcome
of the istikara.
So there's no need to wait for a
feeling or dream.
Can I repeat the istikara?
Yes, you can repeat it once, twice, three
times.
Okay, there's no harm in repeating the istikara.
But it's not a must you have to
wait for a dream to see something or
some Muslims may Allah guide them.
They will ask someone to make istikara on
their behalf.
Okay, Mawlana, Shaykh and so that he will
see something.
No, that's not sunnah.
Next question, please.
Okay, Ali Ibrahim wants to take the mic,
ask his question verbally.
Okay, no, no, he's going to take the
mic.
There's one going to take the mic just
now.
He's saying the area of Masjid al-Aqsa
is where our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam went up to heavens.
We'll come down.
Is there like a special opening portal in
the area?
No, no, there's nothing like that.
Nothing like that.
Okay, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
he entered the Masjid.
He led the congregation of the Prophets.
Allah brought them into life.
He led them and then he was taken
by Gabriel to the upper assembly to heaven.
Okay, so he was taken on the mi
'raj.
The mi'raj, they're saying it was the
tool in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was taken.
What was it?
Allah knows.
Next.
As-salamu alaykum, I'm back.
JazakAllah khair for waiting.
We have received another question.
What age was Khadija when the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam married her?
As there are various disputes as to what
her real age was and when she got
married to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Our mother Khadija, she was older than the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he married
her.
Okay, she was older than him.
Now I don't recall the exact number of
years but she was older than the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And of course our mother Khadija, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, she's the only wife that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blessed the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with children.
He gave birth to his daughters and his
sons.
The rest of his wife, no one gave
birth.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
loved her okay from the core of his
heart too much.
Because she was not only a wife, she
was everything for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam.
She was consoling the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam indeed, allaying his fears and providing for
him a peaceful environment.
So when she passed away, that's why subhanAllah,
they say that year his uncle passed away
and his wife.
They call it the year of the sorrow.
So it was very very painful for the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And he remained remembering Khadija all the time,
even later on.
And whenever any of the her friends would
visit the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
would tell his wives, okay, be nice to
her.
She used to visit us during the time
of Khadija.
And if they have some food or some
meat, he would send and say take this
to the friends of Khadija.
So much so that one day Aisha felt
jealous because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
always mentioning her.
He said you keep mentioning this old woman
when Allah substituted you with someone who's better
than her.
He said no one is better than Khadija.
She believed in me when people belied me
and he started listing her virtues.
And Allah blessed me with children from her
and no one else.
And Aisha said I kept quiet after that.
So the question says there are some disputes.
We don't leave all these disputes what people
are disputing about.
Subhanallah.
What's the benefit?
Why are you disputing about what?
If he's 40 or he's less and what's
the significance of the figure?
Nothing.
The lesson can be deduced that it is
permissible to marry a woman who's older than
you.
That's the lesson we can deduce from this.
There's no problem to marry a woman who's
older than you.
And your example is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam.
Because she is mature, she is wise, etc.
One of the Sahaba, I think Jabir, yes
Jabir ibn Abdullah, when his father died he
married a woman.
He got married.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw
him and he saw that he were having
these the clothes of wedding clothes.
He said oh you got married.
He said yes.
He said virgin or married before divorcee or
widow.
He said no, no, no.
Not Bikr.
Not Bikr.
One who was married before.
Said why you didn't marry one who's young?
Okay Bikr.
Not married before.
So he said told the Prophet because my
father, as you know, he passed away and
he left my sisters and they are young.
I don't want to add another one like
them.
So I decided to marry someone who's matured,
can look after them.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told
him Alhamdulillah.
He did something.
What he did is right.
Next question please.
BarakAllahu feekum.
The next question.
A question from a sister.
Can someone offer Salat on behalf of a
deceased person in case the deceased missed when
she was bedridden, sick and the family fell
short in some aspects of their care?
Can someone offer Salat on behalf of a
deceased person?
No, you don't.
You don't.
A person he didn't pray, okay, you cannot
pray on his behalf.
Okay, if he, if he, that's why here
we have to be I mean aware that
because some people when they are, for example,
sick and bedridden, they leave the Salat and
that's wrong.
Some they say I cannot perform wudu.
So because of their ignorance, they leave the
Salat.
I said no, you don't leave the Salat.
Okay, we help them to perform wudu if
possible.
Otherwise, but they should not leave the Salat.
Should not leave the Salat as long as
they are conscious.
They should not leave the Salat.
Or some say, you see now I have
this catheter and urine is coming.
I cannot pray like this.
So when I recover, I will make up
the Salawat and say no, no, no, no.
Pray as like this in this situation.
No problem.
And your Salat is correct.
I cannot face the Qibla.
No problem.
Pray in the position that you feel most
comfortable.
But don't leave the Salat.
Salat, as long as you are having your
sanity, you're conscious, you should not leave the
Salat.
Even sometimes the Fuqahaad, they discussed if someone,
he doesn't have water and there is not
even earth to use for Tayammum.
They said he should pray without wudu and
Tayammum, but he should not leave the Salat.
They even also discussed if someone, something happened,
let's say, an aeroplane crashed, his clothes are
torn, removed, burnt, he's naked.
He can't pray while he's naked.
But the ulema, they say he can sit
down or to cover his nakedness, his private
part, but he should not leave the Salat.
Okay, so my dear brothers and sisters, when
you visit someone, the first thing you should
make sure that he is praying or she
is praying.
If they are not, tell them to pray.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
The second part of the question, other than
making sincere dua on their behalf and sadaqah,
are there any good deeds to do?
Yes, there is the exception, which is the
hajj.
You can perform hajj on behalf of the
deceased, providing that you performed hajj and he
didn't.
Okay, that is okay.
But the dua, yes, and sadaqah, yes.
Is that the same for Umrah, Sheikh?
The same for Umrah, but you make it
for him.
Okay, but because many people, what they do,
they perform Umrah for themselves there, then they
go and start making many, multiple Umrahs from
the Masjid of Aisha.
That's not sunnah.
Mubarak Allah feekum.
Akhi Ali Ibrahim, if you would like to
ask a question.
JazakAllah khair.
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.
Wa alaykum as-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.
Please raise your voice because it is long.
Okay, Sheikh.
Yes, my question is about the
point that we have taken a long time
ago, that I have with me here by
Ibn al-Qayyim, rahmatullah, about shirk.
And it starts, Yes,
yes, yes.
I wanted some pronunciation.
Okay, I need some pronunciations here.
And if you can rephrase again, please.
Okay, here Ibn al-Qayyim, rahmatullah, is talking
about, and this is in Danuniyyah, and those
who know Arabic, I really encourage them to
read the Danuniyyah.
He has two famous poems, Danuniyyah and the
Mimiyyah, Mimiyyah and Danuniyyah, because they rhyme with
noon and meem, in which he summarizes the
belief of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah.
So there, in Danuniyyah, he says, talking about
the shirk, so he said, the
meaning, be aware of it, stay away from
it, be cautious, be careful not to commit
shirk and fall into shirk.
Now he is talking about the types of
shirk.
Shirk, the ulema classified shirk into three categories,
major shirk, minor shirk, and hidden shirk, shirk
akbar, asghar, and khafeel.
Major shirk takes one out of the fold
of Islam, and that is when you direct
any act of worship to other than Allah,
you ask other than Allah, you sacrifice to
other than Allah, you call other than Allah,
this is major shirk.
Then the minor shirk doesn't take you out
of Islam, and it can become major shirk
if it is associated with belief.
For example, going to the charlatans, fortune tellers,
soothsayers, if someone goes to these fortune tellers,
and he believes in them, then he disbelieves
in what was revealed to Muhammad.
But if he didn't believe in what they
are saying, forty days Allah will not accept
his prayers.
Also, like some people, this is a bad
habit among some, the Arabs, they take an
oath in other than the name of Allah.
You find them always swearing, they're saying, oh,
by my honour, by my dignity, by the
head of my child, stuff like that.
Okay, this is not allowed, and this is
haram, and this is, it can be minor,
though Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah consider it
that it will be major.
And then you have the third category, which
is the hidden inconspicuous shirk, and that is
showing off.
So here Ibn al-Qayyim is saying, So
he's talking now about this which is visible,
okay, you are directing acts of worship to
other than Allah, major.
This is so visible, so noticeable.
Okay, that is a mishara, which is, okay,
means hara, which is, of course, functions as
the subject.
This time, major shirk, Allah will not forgive
it if you die while doing it, committing
it.
Because shirk akbar, if you die while practising,
committing major shirk, you will not be, it
will not be forgiven.
Then he started explaining this major shirk.
What is this major shirk, oh Shaykh?
He said to make someone equivalent and equal
to Allah, nid, equal to Allah.
To make someone equal to Ar-Rahman, the
most beneficent, the merciful.
Irrespective of the nature of this object of
worship that you have taken, whether the one
you made equal to Ar-Rahman is a
human being or it is a statue or
an idol.
He further explained that this one who worships
and makes this one equal to Allah, what
does he do to this object of worship,
this god, small g, he worships?
He calls the nid, he calls this object
of worship, yad'uhu, aw yarjuhu, and hope.
So raja, dua and raja, calling and hoping,
yad'uhu, aw yarjuhu, thumma yakhafuhu, and after
that his heart is filled with fear, fear
of this object that he worships.
Don't you know that some Muslims, may Allah
guide them, if you tell them, Abdu'l
-Qadir Jilani can do nothing, say please don't
say that!
If something is going to happen to you,
you will be paralysed, you will be cursed,
they are afraid.
They don't know Abdu'l-Qadir Jilani, his
soul is in the Jannah, he is one
of Allah's awliya, he is an imam of
Ahlus Sunnah, he is one of the scholars
of the humble school, and all these things
people attribute to him are not true.
And one night he was praying tahajjud and
shaitan came to him and said, oh Abdu
'l-Qadir Jilani, I have forgiven you all
your sins, I am Allah, no need for
you to pray anymore.
So he realised, he was alim, because there
was light in the room.
So he realised that was shaitan, so he
said, by Allah, are you Allah?
No answer came, no reply, and that light
disappeared, then the voice came back, oh Abdu
'l-Qadir, you escaped, I couldn't fool you,
I fooled many people in this way, but
you, I couldn't fool you.
So shayateh can play tricks with the people.
And he loves this object of worship, this
one, the object of worship that he made
equal to Allah, just like a dayyan, like
the owner of the day of judgement.
Then he continued, that the mushriks of the
Arabs, and
then
he continued, so he said, the mushriks of
Quraysh, they did not make them equal to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala regarding the rizq
that they provide for them.
Wallahi masawuhumu billahi fi khalqin.
Or the creation, they didn't believe that Hubal
and Al-Lata and Al-Uzza created them,
no.
Wallahi masawuhumu billahi fi, by Allah they did
not make them equal to Allah regarding the
creation.
Wala khalqin, wala rizqin, that they provide for
them.
Or they are benevolent to them, no.
Lakinnahum sawuhumu billahi fi hubbin wa ta'zeem.
They made them equal to Allah regarding glorifying
them, sanctifying them, and loving them.
I hope this is clear to you, Akhil.
Yes, yes, Sheikh, jazakallah khair, it's very clear.
Was Sheikh Ibn Al-Qayyim himself from Sufi
originally?
He was Sufi, yes.
He was Sufi, then when he met Sheikh
Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, he left what he
was upon, yes.
And he mentioned that.
And he mentioned that.
And then he became a student of Sheikh
Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
Mashallah, mashallah.
Okay, Sheikh, jazakallah khair, jazakallah khair.
I appreciate it so much, jazakallah khair, Sheikh.
May Allah preserve you and protect you.
Ameen, you too, you too.
Jazakallah khair.
We have a few more questions, is that
okay, Sheikh?
Okay.
So the next question.
I am 37 years and never prayed all
my life, but I have recently started praying
five times a day.
Do I need to make up all my
prayers?
He is now 37 years older.
Yeah, and he recently started praying five times
a day.
Must he make up all of his prayers?
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah that you started praying.
Alhamdulillah.
So now what to do?
Should she make up the prayers for all
these years?
There are two opinions of the Ulama.
One opinion, the Jumhūr.
I'm saying the Jumhūr.
The majority, they are saying she has to
keep paying all the prayers she missed.
For example, now Ghuhr time.
She will pray the Ghuhr, fun, and then
she will pray Ghuhr again.
Okay, and she will do this for all
the prayers until she managed to make these
prayers or to die before that.
But she is in the process.
This is one opinion of the Jumhūr, the
Ulama.
The other opinion says, and this is the
strongest, you cannot make up Qadha for any
prayer that you left and you missed deliberately,
intentionally.
You cannot, even if you pray it.
So what should you do?
What one should do?
Repentance, tawbah, and try to pray as many
Nafl prayers as possible.
Try to pray Nafl prayers, as many rak
'ahs as possible at night, during the time,
in the duration where it is permissible to
pray Nafl and the tawbah.
And Insha'Allah, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la will forgive you.
I hope this has cleared the question.
The next question, can a female who is
over 70 years old travel to Umrah with
a group or must she travel with a
mahram?
I've heard a few older sisters traveling with
groups where I live, please advise.
Listen to me, my dear brothers and sisters.
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says,
فَعِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرَدُّوهُ إِلَىٰهِ وَرَسُولِهِ عَنْ
كُنتُمْ تَأْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَيْهُمْ الْعَاخِرِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَحْسَنٌ
وَتَعَالِيَّةٌ So when you dispute any issue or
any matter and you want to know the
ruling of it, take it back to Allah
and to His Messenger, take it to the
Qur'an and Sunnah.
Don't tell me, this imam said this, this
alim said that.
Allah says, take it to the Qur'an
and Sunnah.
The Prophet ﷺ, he said, لَا يَحِلُّوا لِأِمْرَأَةٍ
أَن تُسَافِرَ إِلَّا مَعَادِي مَحْرَمٍ لَا يَحِلُّوا, which
means haram, it is unlawful, it is impermissible
for a woman to travel without a mahram.
A woman, any woman.
And he didn't make any exception.
Don't you know, if a woman doesn't have
mahram, she is exempted from performing hajj.
Because among the conditions for the woman is
the mahram.
She doesn't have mahram, she is exempted.
A man asked the Prophet ﷺ, O Prophet
of Allah, I have registered my name and
road to go for jihad, and my wife
set out for hajj without mahram.
The Prophet ﷺ told him, leave the jihad
and follow your wife.
Go with your wife and perform the hajj
together.
Leave the jihad.
So, the opinions that says, if a group
of women together, they are safe, they call
it rafqa ma'muna and then it's fine.
This is weak opinion.
The hadith did not make any exception.
And a woman cannot be a mahram for
another woman.
A woman cannot be a mahram for another
woman.
And I will tell you this story that
Imam Ibn Hazm mentioned in his book Tawq
al-Hamama.
Group of women at his time travelled from
Andalusia, Spain, to perform hajj by sea.
They performed the hajj, alhamdulillah.
In their way back, all of them committed
zina with the captain of the ship.
All of them.
The captain of the ship every night will
go and enter the room of one of
them.
Okay.
And he would sleep with them.
With her.
The next day, they talk to each other.
This is what happened to me.
He said, oh, it happened to me last
night.
So, everyone tells the other.
So, every night he would pick one of
them.
Now, the last one is the ameer, the
head of the group.
He said, if he comes to me, I
have prepared this blade, sharp blade for him.
I will cut his organ.
And he came to her, and she didn't
use the blade, and she joined the club.
And he slept with her.
So, all of them committed zina after hajj.
Okay.
So, my dear brothers and sisters, follow what
Allah says.
And leave following weak opinions.
Because now there is this trend.
Oh, there is an opinion says this.
So, what?
Our deen is not taken from opinions.
Our deen is from the Quran and sunnah.
What the Prophet said, what Allah said.
That's it.
I hope this is clear to all the
sisters.
Inshallah.
Something's happened to the host again.
Okay, there's one last question, which is.
As-salamu alaykum.
The fast that everyone did for Palestine, and
all prayers, and du'as, posts, chains, on
social media, etc.
Is this permissible?
Listen to me, my dear brothers and sisters.
Calamities will continue.
We are going to face hardships more and
more.
What should be our stance as Muslims?
Our stance should be coming back to our
deen.
That's number one.
Second thing, abide by our deen.
By the teachings of our Islam, the Quran
and sunnah.
The Muslims, they went through many calamities and
hardships.
Okay.
Yes.
Should be woke up call to come back
and to repent to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
Okay.
But we should not do anything that goes
against the kitab and sunnah.
We should not fall into innovations, into bid
'ahs.
Okay.
We should remain holding to the rope.
Allah said, So hold firmly to the rope
of Allah.
The du'a is permissible.
I make du'a for Muslims everywhere.
Muslims are not only tortured and suffered in
Palestine, in many places.
So the du'a is permissible.
Okay.
But to say we have to fast this
day together and...
Okay.
Don't do that.
But if it is your habit, you fast
normally.
That is your normal practice that you fast.
And before you break your fast, you make
du'a for the Muslims.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Because they see, listen to me, Muslims are
the actionaries and they act emotional all the
time.
And then after a while, things cool down
and back to square one.
And this is not noticeable.
It's okay.
It's natural.
This shows good.
There is khair in the people.
And they feel.
But there is no this sustainability and continuation
of this repentance and turning to Allah.
The same one who is crying and making
du'a, after that, he is indulged in
doing haram, committing sins.
Instead of deducing lessons and repenting and coming
back to Allah.
No.
He continues he or she doing what displeases
Allah.
May Allah guide all of us.
Next question, please.
The next question.
My friend wants to visit a church for
architecture.
Is this permissible?
What architecture?
He wants what?
I'm assuming.
What architecture?
What he wants to do?
I'm assuming they want to see and analyze
the architecture.
That's what I'm assuming.
It is not clear.
See, these places one should not go to
because what's the benefit there?
Okay.
If you are a Muslim architect, you know
you should know how to build mosques.
And there are many beautiful mosques across the
Islamic world.
Actually, I saw a documentary.
The Christians, they covered and embedded in their
churches from the Muslims and their monasteries.
From the Muslims.
Next.
JazakAllah khair.
The last question.
What is the ruling on doing congregational qiyam
for the intention of Palestine and also Salat
al-Ghaib in congregation?
That's not Sunnah.
That's not Sunnah.
You can pray tahajjud.
You can ask Allah to make du'a.
That's fine.
But this congregational prayers, that's not Sunnah.
That's not Sunnah.
Salat al-Mayt al-Ghaib, yes, you can
perform Salat al-Mayt al-Ghaib because if
there are Muslims who passed away and died,
and some are still under the rubbles and
the the ruins, okay, and no one
performs janazah for them, yes, Salat al-Mayt
al-Ghaib can be performed.
Stick to the Kitab al-Sunnah.
Follow your Prophet ﷺ.
Next question.
Oh, this is the last one you said.
Yeah, this was the last question.
So are you able to perform Salat al
-Ghaib even if you don't know of the
person who is under the rubble in general
or must you know of the person?
Of course, you know a Muslim, you know
a Muslim who who no one performed janazah
for him.
Yes, you can.
Sorry, my question was, if someone, for example,
in the West, can they pray Salat al
-Ghaib just in general for the victims of
the war in Palestine?
What do you mean for Jannah?
Sorry, my question was in general.
So if someone in...
In general, if...
No, no, you see, we have to understand
one thing here.
Salat al-Mayt al-Ghaib, if we know
that people, they already, this, for example, the
person, they perform janazah already, khalas, finish.
Because there is no evidence for Salat al
-Mayt al-Ghaib except one hadith, and that
is when the Najashi, the king of Abyssinia,
okay, he passed away.
So the Prophet, he informed the Sahaba, and
he performed janazah prayer, because no one prayed
for Najashi, of course, in Abyssinia.
That's it.
So that's why the ulama, they said, if
this, because Salat janazah is not fardu ayn,
it's fardu kifaya, which means communal obligation, not
individual obligation.
So this obligation is done by some of
the Muslims, alhamdulillah.
But if we know that some Muslims are
not buried, okay, and no janazah, yes, we
can perform the janazah prayer.
Because in some countries, you find a practice,
I think on Friday, or after Isha, always
they perform janazah prayer, janazah prayer al-Ghaib,
this is not sunnah, this is bid'ah.
I hope this is clear.
So just to clarify, does the Salat al
-Ghaib have to be in the location, or
can someone pray it in the UK, for
example?
Of course, the Prophet ﷺ was not in
Abyssinia, he was in Medina.
Are you following?
Yes, yes.
Okay.
JazakAllah khair.
That concludes the lesson.
And jazakAllah khair for everyone's attendance.
BarakAllahu feekum.
I will hand it back to the Sheikh
to conclude the lesson.
Assalamu alaikum.
Wa alaikumussalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
BarakAllahu feekum.
JazakAllah khair.
May Allah bless you.
May Allah protect you.
May Allah protect our ummah everywhere.
JazakAllah khair.
Until, inshaAllah, we meet in the coming session,
I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
Bi hurmati l-Habib, bi hurmati l-Fatiha.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
