Dear respected students, may Allah bless you all
for your attendance.
Today we are covering the Days of Ignorance,
Masa'il al-Jahiliyya, by Muhammad bin Abdul
Wahhabi Rahman Ali.
Just a quick reminder, please take notes, listen
attentively, and send your questions over to myself
and the co-host throughout the course of
the lesson.
With that said, I'll hand it back to
the Sheikh to start the lesson.
BarakAllahu feekum, wa jazakumAllahu khayran, as-salamu alaykum.
Wa alaykum as-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa
barakatuh.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
The issues of Jahiliyyah by the Imam al
-Mujaddid, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab.
And today it is the Mas'ala number
29.
An-Nahum Ma'a Dhalika La Ya'lamuna
Bima Taqooluhu Ta'ifatuhum Kama Nabaha Allahu Ta
'ala Alihi Bi Qawlih Qul Falima Taqutuluna Anbiya
Allahi Min Qabilu In Kuntum Mu'mineen So this
is the Mas'ala for today insha'Allah.
The meaning,
An-Nahum Ma'a Dhalika, the people of
Jahiliyyah.
Despite the fact that they claim that they
only follow what they are upon or what
their forefathers were upon.
But the reality, the fact is that they
don't know.
They did not even have knowledge of what
their group of their party or their predecessors
used to believe.
They don't know.
Listen to this, my dear brothers and sisters.
When the Hawa, the Hawa, this is the
terminology you need to get used to it.
When the Hawa, the whims, the desires dominate
you and dictate to you.
So you are under the thumb, the whims
and the desires.
Then you will act foolishly, irrationally.
So this Mas'ala, they don't know what
their ancestors, what their forefathers, what their belief
is, what their group is upon.
They don't know that.
They don't know what they used to adhere
to and believe in.
And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
here, see the Qur'anic arguments and the
Qur'anic refutations are so powerful.
And no wonder, because the one who refutes
and the one who answers is Allah Subh
'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
So Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
refuted their claim.
And he posed the question to them, قُلْ
فَلِمَا تَقْتُلُونَ أَنبِيَّ اللَّهِ If you are pious,
righteous, mindful of Allah, God-fearing, then why
have you killed the prophets of Allah for
time?
If you indeed were believers.
Surah Al-Baqarah 91 So if you are
true believers, you would not have killed Allah's
prophets.
And this shows that you are not pious,
righteous, God-fearing people.
You are not.
You are worshippers of your whims and desires.
Just what you like, that's it.
You follow what is dictated to you by
your shaytan and by your nafs.
Also Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
said in the same ayah,
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُوا بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُوا
نُؤْمِنُوا بِمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَاءَهُ هو
الحق وهو الحق مصدقًا لما معهم قُلْ
فَلِمَا تَقْتُلُونَ أَنبِيَّا اللَّهِ مِن قَبْلٍ كُنتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ
This is how Allah refuted them and exposed
the weakness of their argument وَإِذَا
قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُوا So this is the stance
of the people of Jahiliyyah Throughout It doesn't
change This stance and attitude does not change
at all We need to say to them
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُوا Believe Believe بِمَا أَنزَلَ
اللَّهِ Believe in what Allah has revealed If
you are a true believer Whatever Allah God
Almighty Creator of the heavens and the earth
revealed, you will accept that قالوا Allah is
telling them Believe in what I revealed to
you Believe in what I gave to my
prophets and messengers They say قَالُوا نُؤْمِنُوا بِمَا
أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا This is their response In other
words Because the way they consider themselves They
are the best of mankind And they are
the most beloved one To Allah, to God
As if they are saying that Guidance is
only ours Whatever is given to us That
is what we have to abide by and
adhere to Guidance given to anyone else No,
we will not accept قَالُوا
نُؤْمِنُوا بِمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا We only believe in
what was sent down to us وَيَكْفُرُونَ بِمَا
وَرَاءَهُ And they deny They reject what came
afterwards You see my dear brothers and sisters
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Is not going
to punish anyone On the day of resurrection
Without being guided Guided in the sense shown
And showed the way of salvation For that
reason Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala He sent
messengers and prophets To guide mankind To guide
humanity Because humanity From day one When Allah
sent down Our father Adam and our mother
Eve Adam was a prophet His children they
were Muslims Believers And
generation after generation They continued Treading on the
correct path The monotheistic path Pure monotheism Not
as historians they tell us today Man was
primitive Man was superstitious Man didn't know God
Man's knowledge about God Evolved over time Now
This is nonsense Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
When he sent Adam down to earth He
gave him the guidance And he taught it
to his children And the deviation of humanity
Started During the time of Noah The people
of Noah That's where idolatry started And those
whom they call primitive people Those who are
living in the forest Naked Those are the
ones Of course, offsprings Of the ones that
They fled Because the prophets And the believers
They fought them And so they fled And
they disappeared And they settled And they became
isolated Not because they were like that From
day one When mankind Existed on this planet
No So the first deviation From the straight
path Happened during the Happened among the people
of Noah Noah alayhi salam Where they There
were pious people As you know Ya'uqa,
Ya'utha, Nasra And when they passed away
Shaytan came to the The Offspring To the
Their Pogeny, the generation After them And told
them Why don't you elect And make images
for those good Men And erect these Images
in different places So that whenever you see
Their image, their images You get Motivated and
you remember Them and you continue Leading righteous
Life So that was the idea He put
in their minds and they thought it was
Brilliant They didn't know that Shaytan was pulling
their Their legs Because Shaytan is a strategist
He is a good planner, he knows And
he has long term Long term plans Because
he knew maybe that Generation will not worship
These idols But their children They will worship
the idols That's how the Shaytan thinks And
that's what Happened That's what happened They elected,
they made These idols Statues, images That generation
didn't Worship that Their children, they did And
that's how Humanity started drifting Away from the
Correct belief The monotheistic Creed Then
Allah He kept, whenever There is a deviation
A messenger Or a prophet Will come to
his people To bring them back For that
reason Allah sent Warners, messengers, prophets To every
nation Every people وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُنَّةِ
الرَّسُولَةِ وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُنَّةِ الرَّسُولَةِ Every
nation Allah sent Into them A messenger وَنَعْبُدُ
اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُ الطَّغُوتِ This messenger Informing, declaring Proclaiming
Addressing his people عَبُدُ اللَّهِ Worship Allah And
shun الطَّغُوتِ And shun the false Objects of
worship And also Allah said وَمَا كُنَّ مُعَذِّبِينَ
حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا We were
not going to Punish anyone Before sending them
messengers First of all We have to make
them informed Aware Then
if After being Informed They decided
Not to accept The truth Then they will
be held accountable But they will not be
held accountable Before Receiving guidance Because that is
That goes against the Divine Justice Because Allah
He imposed Upon himself Not to wrong anyone
يَا عِبَادِي In the Hadith Qudsi يَا عِبَادِي
إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتَهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا
فَلَا تَظَالَمُونَ I was saying O my servants
I made Injustice Prohibited for me I will
never wrong anyone of you And I made
it prohibited Also to you You should not
Wrong one another فَلَا تَظَالَمُونَ Never wrong one
another Because Allah Loves justice And he hates
Oppression And tyranny Today I was reading Beautiful
statement made by Shaykh al-Islam bin Taimiyyah
In his Fatawa When he was talking about
The justice The adl He mentioned He said
there is this statement Which means this statement
Was there Passed from generation to generation That
Allah Will keep Okay Non-Muslim country Non
-Islamic country Kafir country Kafir
state To prosper And to continue Existing Because
there is justice Because of the adl There
is justice There Though they are not believers
But there is adl No one will be
wronged Or oppressed So as long as That
justice That adl is there Their existence will
continue The moment that adl is removed They
will be ruined Wiped out And then he
said And Allah will remove Islamic state From
existence Though they are Muslims But they will
be removed Because of the adl Because of
injustice So Allah loves the justice And he
hates Injustice So Allah subhana wa ta'ala
He sent the messengers So that people will
be guided And no one on the day
of resurrection Will have any excuse We were
not going to punish anyone Prior to sending
Warners and messengers To them So here they
are saying Only we believe in what is
Given to us Allah has Given guidance And
many prophets came With guidance Why do you
refuse them So they say We believe
only in what has revealed We only believe
in what was sent to us And they
deny What came afterwards Whatever came afterwards The
prophets who came afterwards They will not accept
that No it is
the truth confirming Their own scripture What this
prophet comes with Confirms What is there in
their scripture If you read in the bible
When Jesus Christ Came to Yahya John the
baptist John the baptist Asked Christ Are you
That prophet He said no He will come
after me Are you The paraclete Translated in
Modern translation The comforter The paraclete Which means
the praised one Ahmed Said no he will
come after me The prophet And Allah made
The descriptions Of the prophet Known to them
As Allah said They know him When they
know the prophet As they know their own
Children They know him very well That's why
many of them When they saw the prophet
They accepted Islam Because these
are The descriptions mentioned Salman as you know
The story of Salman Who was looking For
the signs that he Read The descriptions he
read And he The qualities of the prophet
That he doesn't eat Sadaqah charity And he
accepts the gift Present And he has the
seal of prophethood Between his shoulders So he
came the first day and gave date And
said this is charity Sadaqah the prophet gave
it To the sahaba Second day he came
he gave date again And he said this
is a gift The prophet he ate from
it And touched it And now he wants
to see the seal And one day the
prophet Was sitting in the graveyard Burying one
of the sahaba Salman came from behind To
look So the prophet knew what Salman Was
looking for he said you want to see
this Salman Right he lowered his cloak And
he saw it So they know that O
Zaid Ibn Sina Qarabai Who read about the
The qualities of the prophet Salman His Manner
and his Behavior His attitude That the more
you provoke Him the wiser he becomes He
tried to incite The prophet Salman The wiser
he becomes And the prophet Salman Happened to
Borrowed some food From Zaid And Zaid
Ibn Sina Found it a chance for him
To check This condition And this quality To
provoke the prophet Salman So he came before
The date of receiving His His money Before
The date is due And he held the
prophet Salman And he said you The clan
Of Abdul Muttalib You keep procrastinating And delaying
The people's debts Zaid Ibn Umar Happened to
be there he went Mad he wanted to
kill him He said You enemy of Allah
you say this To Allah's prophet See Zaid
is checking this What will be the reaction
of the prophet He was calm Very calm
And wiser This foolish attitude Of Zaid Ibn
Sina This way His Trial to provoke him
Only made him Wiser And he Became more
patient So he told Zaid Ibn Umar Umar
We were Expecting something Better than this from
you To tell us both To ask him
To be patient Because it's Still time and
to tell Me to give him His money
Umar Go to Baitul Mal The Teja house
Give him his money Though he came before
The date is due And give him more
More Because you frightened him Zaid Ibn Umar
He went he gave him his money Then
he gave him extra he said what is
this for He said My prophet told me
To give you because I frightened you I
scared you This is a Compensation for that
That's it That was enough for Zaid Ibn
Sina To accept Al-Israa So
they knew The prophet And here they said
no We will not accept anyone Though it
is What the prophet came with Confirms Their
own scriptures Then Allah Said Why do you
kill Ask them oh prophet Why then you
Then did you kill Allah's prophets Before If
you are truly believers But this shows that
They are not true believers So the author
Here my dear brothers and sisters He Exposes
The reality of the people of Jahiliyyah he
is telling us The Qualities Of the people
Of the days of ignorance That they are
dishonest And liars And they hide the truth
And misconstrue the truth They don't tell the
truth This is not The people
of Jahiliyyah They claim Allah says in Surah
Al-Baqarah Whenever they are told Do not
spread Corruption Do not make mischief They said
We are only reformers See Allah is telling
them do not Spread corruption Do not make
mischief They said we are only reformers We
are peacemakers Yes we are Peacemakers we love
peace We are like the pigeons When they
are Wolves In this Hides and skins of
Lambs We are peacemakers Allah said
They are the Corruptors Indeed they are the
corruptors Mischievers But they feel it not This
is punishment from Allah When you Don't sense
And feel Your deviation May Allah save us
from that You don't know that you Are
heading In the wrong direction You think you
are in the right Direction This is punishment
from Allah My dear brothers and sisters We
have always to keep this in mind If
you find Allah Leaving you Okay To continue
sinning In the beginning You received many messages
Many warnings from Allah And you neglected All
these messages Reminders Then Allah leaves you So
if you find yourself That you are doing
the haram And you are enjoying it And
everything is cozy Everything is beautiful Because here
you forgot Your Self Allah made them to
Forget their own Self You think everything is
fine And maybe you will Reach a stage
Where you feel that Allah is happy with
me Everything is okay They forgot about Allah
So Allah made them to forget Their own
self Be careful Be careful If you reach
that stage Come back to Allah Come back
to Allah So this ayah My dear brothers
and sisters Tells us That had they been
Believers They wouldn't have killed Allah's prophets and
messengers And they would have believed In all
Allah's messengers Whom were sent To guide mankind
Without making any distinction Between any one of
them So the muallif The author Sheikh Muhammad
Abdul Wahab This sheikh This reformer And
his wonderful works For this ummah And I
encourage Every one of you to read His
works So this author Sheikh Muhammad He used
this ayah Because you see His style Sheikh
Muhammad Abdul Wahab You find Ayah, hadith, ayah,
hadith That's it Read his books Allah said
this, the prophet said that That's it So
how to support this issue He had To
give the proof So he used the ayah
To tell us That
they were liars They were not pious They
were following their whims and desires And that
was Allah Mentioned about them Why then did
you kill Allah's prophets before If you are
truly Believers And the relevance of this ayah
My dear brothers and sisters To the issue
before This ayah Rejected
and Refuted and exposed Their claim Their argument
And crushed their argument And considered them liars
That they are not believers Because had they
believed In Allah's prophets Whom he sent Mentioned
to guide mankind Then they would not have
killed them That is logical When they know
It is prohibited To commit such heinous Crimes
Can you imagine You come to Prophet Zakariya
Zakariya Yes I want you to Try to
visualize this Any believer Will do that To
come To this prophet Zakariya The one who
was guarding The one who was The caretaker
of Mary The mother of Jesus Madonna Al
Batool Taking care of her And whenever he
Whenever he visited Mary He
would find Sustenance, food Fruits that are supposed
to be In summer In winter with her
Fruits that are supposed to be In winter
in summer with her So he Questioned her
Where did you get this?
She said from Allah And of course Allah
was preparing Mary For something is going to
happen Later on Yet this prophet Was cut
into half Can you imagine this To hold
the prophet And put the saw In the
middle of his head And you continue Cutting
him into two halves That's what happened John
the Baptist The same thing
happened To him He was beheaded He was
beheaded So which believer will do this?
Definitely the one who Committed that heinous crime
had no belief At all No belief No
Iman To kill a prophet Imam
Zamakhshari Zamakhshari I hope that you are
taking notes My dear brothers and sisters Imam
Zamakhshari Is one of the Mu'tazila And he
is a Mufassir And His Tafsir Is called
Al-Kashaf Al-Kashaf He
was born in Zamakhshar Which is today Iran
And that place And finally later on Towards
the end of his life he settled in
Mecca And died in Mecca and he Compiled
beautiful Tafsir But When it comes to Aqeedah
You'll see He is Using the verses And
the Ayat To support his belief His Aqeedah
Aqeedah of the Mu'tazila And he Because he
is eloquent Grammarian Yes Grammarian And
he is one of those Scholars of Etymologists
So His style The way he will Insert
his belief And his Aqeedah Is so subtle
You don't feel it So subtle But one
of the Ulama He took all the book
Tafsir of Imam Zamakhshari And he said I
traced all These Insertions of his belief In
the Tafsir And I Mentioned them To warn
the people But no doubt He was a
scholar He was Alim And the books of
Al-Kashaf, Tafsir Al-Kashaf Regarding the Balaghah,
the rhetoric The The Eloquency and all Amazing
Amazing So but no one should Read this
Tafsir except the Ulama or advanced Students of
knowledge No beginner should Touch it So He
mentioned In his Tafsir Al-Kashaf Regarding this
Ayah mentioned Surat Al-Baqarah He said Allah
Refuted Their argument The argument of the people
of Jahiliyyah By Mentioning the killing of His
prophets That's enough irrefutable Proof How you claim
you are believers And you are God fearing
And you are pious And then you kill
Allah's Prophets It doesn't make sense Despite
their prior knowledge They were not ignorant Of
course they were not ignorant They know They
know He is a prophet They know that
Despite their prior knowledge That it is prohibited
To commit such heinous crimes In their own
Scriptures They know It is a sin Also
Allah My dear brothers and sisters He mentioned
in Surat Ali Imran Ayah 183 And the
meaning of this Ayah It resonates The same
meaning Of the previous one Those Who said
Allah has promised Us That we will not
believe in a prophet Until he comes to
us Until he comes to us With a
sacrifice Eaten by fire Say Prophets have come
to you With clear proofs And what you
said So why did you kill them Those
are the same people Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala Saying Who say Allah has commanded us
Not to believe In any messenger Unless he
brings us An offering To be consumed By
the fire From the sky Say O Prophet
Muhammad Other prophets Did in fact come to
you Before me With clear proofs And even
what you Demanded Why then did you kill
them If what you say Is true See
this is the power Of the Quran No
argument can stand The The refutation Of the
Quran All the arguments were crushed They are
crushed We
cast The truth We throw The truth Upon
falsehood Falsehood vanishes Vanishes So
here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Said Refuting
That claim Those who say Inna
Allah Verily Allah A'hida ilayna A'hida
ilayna Informed us Commanded us Told us You
should not Believe in any messenger Who claims
Messengership Or a prophet who claims prophethood Hatta
unless This Messenger Brings
to us Qurban The Qurban is the offer
Before The spoils And the booties Which they
Confiscate and take from their enemies Were haram
For them to Use them So now After
defeating their enemy They will compile And collect
all the spoils Okay Of the war And
put them in one place And then fire
Will come down and Burn everything But Allah
This is one of the Khususiyat of the
Prophet He made the spoils The ghana'im
halal for this Ummah of the Prophet So
they are saying We will not Accept until
this Prophet he Brings us an offering to
be Consumed Burnt By fire from the sky
Okay Fine So if an offering Comes this
offering Was consumed by a Fire and it
happened Before your eyes are you going to
Accept this Prophet Or Messenger if you are
Only waiting For this condition to be Fulfilled
then once This condition is fulfilled You have
to believe But you didn't You didn't Qul
Tell them O Prophet Muhammad Many messengers before
Me came to you With the proofs With
the clear proofs And they fulfilled What
you requested What you demanded With
clear proofs And even what you demanded This
offer to be consumed They showed it to
you Falima See this is the argument Falima
Why did then You kill them Why did
you kill them When they came with the
Clear proofs and they The offer Was the
offering was consumed By the fire that came
from the sky So why did you kill
them And kuntum sadiqeen If you are telling
the truth But you are liars You are
liars And you are not believers Because you
are just following Your Wants and desires Also
Allah says In Surah Al Baqarah Ayah 82
And indeed We gave Moses the Scripture And
then We sent The messengers and We gave
Jesus son of Mary And We gave Jesus
son of Mary The clear proofs and We
supported him With the spirit of Jerusalem So
whenever a messenger came to you With what
you did not want You were arrogant And
a group you denied And a group you
killed Allah Akbar Indeed We gave Moses The
book And sent after him Successive messengers And
We gave Jesus Son of Mary clear proofs
And supported him With the Holy Spirit Holy
Spirit is the Archangel Gabriel Why This is
now the question Why is it that Every
time a messenger comes To you With something
you do not Like You become arrogant Rejecting
some And killing others Killing others We
gave the Torah To Moses And
We gave Moses The book And sent after
him They came after him Followed him With
messengers And we gave Christ And you know
what happened To Jesus And they tried to
kill him And Allah saved him And took
him out And we gave To give Jesus
Christ son of Mary Clear proofs And supported
him With the Archangel Gabriel They did not
Accept him And they tried to assassinate him
Gabriel They were boasting Saying that we
killed Jesus son of Mary We killed him
So they were happy They killed him They
did not know that They crucified him But
it appeared to them so And
Allah took him up Allah took Jesus alive
And he is still alive And he is
going to come And he is a sign
of the hour A token of the hour
And he is the one Who is going
to kill The first Messiah The Antichrist And
then that time As the Prophet Mentioned If
we doubt that he will come to you
Son of Mary, judge fairly And break the
cross And kill the pig And place the
Jizya When Jesus Christ comes No way The
first thing he will do He will break
the crucifix This symbol To tell the Christians
I was not crucified Cancel The
Jizya The tax That is taken from the
non-Muslims Who are living Under the umbrella
of the Muslim state In exchange of Protecting
them Their protection Something nominal Amount Because In
the Islamic state Non-Muslims They live peacefully
Protected Who protects them?
The Muslims So they pay for that Protection
Something very, very Small amount If they can
afford to do so If not, they are
forgiven The elders, the old People such as
during the reign of Sayyidina Umar ibn Khattab
He saw an old man from among the
people Of the scripture Begging Who is that?
One of the people of the scripture Why
is he begging?
He is poor It is not fair We
took the Jizya from him When he was
young And now we Leave him Desert him
And humiliate him And allow him to Beg
on the street It is not fair Give
him from Baitul Maal Spend on him from
the House of Tejr The Tejr house Baitul
Maal of the Muslims And give him what
is sufficient for him So we should not
humiliate him He has to have Dignified life
Where on earth you find this?
So Isa will Break the crucifix Cancel the
Jizya And kill the swine And he will
not accept From anyone anything except Al-Islam
And that is when the fulfillment Of the
prophecy In the Quran will be fulfilled Because
Allah says وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ
بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتَهُ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِدًا
Allah says in the Quran That Isa No
one from among the people Of the scriptures,
Jews and Christians Except they are going to
Follow him We know for sure that the
Jews did not Accept Isa But when he
comes back They will accept him Because he
will not accept From anyone anything except Al
-Islam وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ
No one from among the people of the
scriptures Will remain except that By accepting And
believing in him Before he dies Because Isa
will die when he comes back And He
will come and perform Hajj and Umrah and
then he will die And on the Day
of Judgment He will be a witness against
them So Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Posed
this question to them فَكُلَّمَا جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا
لَا تَهْوَ أَنفُسُكُمْ فَكُلَّمَا جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا
تَهْوَ أَنفُسُكُمْ Whenever a Messenger comes to you
With something that your Wills and desires Like
not You reject some and kill Some This
shows that you are a liar Also
Allah said in Surah Al-Ma'idah Ayah
66 وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا الْتَوْرَاتَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ
إِلَيْهِمْ مَا رَبِّهِمْ لَأَكَلُوا مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ
أَرْجُلِهِمْ مِنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُقْتَصِدَةٌ وَكَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ سَاءَ مَا
يَعْمَلُونَ The meaning Allah says And had they
The people of the Scripture Had they Observed
the Torah And lamented The teachings in the
Torah And the Gospel And what has been
revealed to them From their Lord They would
have been overwhelmed With provisions From above And
below Some among them Are upright And yet
many Do nothing but evil But evil Now,
this is a beautiful ayah Surah Al-Ma
'idah Allah is saying But they didn't They
did not implement They did not abide By
the teachings In the Torah and in the
Gospel وَمَا أُنزِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ Had they implemented
that Had they applied Allah would have Provided
for them لَأَكَلُوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ They
would be this Overwhelmed With this rizq From
above them And from beneath مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ
تَحْلِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ Something from above Will come to
them Like the man That beautiful Food Tastes
like honey Like the dew They find it
and Collect it and eat it And from
The earth's vegetation The earth will Drink out
And this is not only for For the
people of the Scripture If the Muslims Become
pious and righteous Allah will Make the earth
Bring out Its khairat All the resources Which
are Abandoned And they will receive provision From
above And from underneath Then Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala Says And this is Allah's Adl,
He told us That among them Ummah muqtasida
They were pious people Who were Applied, they
are And they were The Prophet salallahu alayhi
wa sallam in the hadith When he mentioned
the division of the How the ummah Were
divided He said افترقت اليهود على احدى وسبعين
فقه The jews were divided Into seventy one
sects Seventy will go to * One will
be delivered One And those who followed him
And those who are Applied from this group
وافترقت النصارى على اثنتين وسبعين فقه The christians
were divided into Seventy three sects One will
be delivered Saved Seventy one will go to
* This one Isa alayhi salam And those
who believed in him الحواريون The disciples and
the like و ستفترق أمتي And my ummah
will be divided Into seventy three sects Seventy
two will go to * One will be
delivered And the sahaba they asked About this
The safe sect فقه الناجح Who are they
And he told them مَن كَانَ عَلَى مِثْلِ
مَا أَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَاسْحَابِهِ Whoever is upon What
I am upon today And what you are
upon today My companions are upon And what
I am upon Okay So Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala say Some among them Are applied
God willing Pious And when they heard about
the truth They accepted it Like Abdullah Like
Zaid And others وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ سَاءَ مَا يَعْمَلُونَ
And yet many do nothing But evil They
are wicked My
dear brothers and sisters When Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala He mentions these stories Not for
entertainment These are warnings For us Warnings for
the Muslims Allah is telling us If you
do the same thing If you follow the
footsteps You will receive the same punishment So
you should not just claim That you are
Following Prophet Muhammad We are following Islam We
are following Quran and Sunnah And you are
not This will not help you Will not
help you Well you know We celebrate the
birthday of the Prophet And we eat sweets
And dance And I do not Avail you
Listen to this acid test The touch of
stone In Ayat al-Imran This Ayah Exposes
the true followers And the false ones Say
If you love Allah Follow me Allah will
love you And forgive you your sins Allah
is Forgiving and Merciful Very simple This short
Ayah Say O Prophet If you sincerely Love
Allah Then follow me Allah will love you
And forgive your sins For Allah is All
Forgiving Most Merciful Everyone should ask himself Everyone
should check himself Against this Ayah You love
the Prophet Right?
Oh yes Follow him Why you don't follow
his Sunnah?
Why you act to the opposite?
Why are you combating And fighting The Prophet's
Sunnah By inventing and concocting And innovating Things
in the Deen That the Prophet Did not
teach Nor He did not do Neither the
Prophet nor his Companions And the Deen Has
been completed Why you kept adding?
Well Sheikh This is good Who told you
it is Khair?
Who told you?
If it was Khair The Prophet would have
taught us Taught it to us So who
told you it is Khair?
Your Shaytan No one else So
if you want Jannah If you want Salvation
Follow what Allah is telling you Walk behind
Your Prophet The Prophet Follow his footsteps What
he did do What he didn't leave Otherwise
on the Day of Resurrection You will be
Taken away from his Kawthar Malaika will Take
you and hold you Remove you Because you
are not following His footsteps You want to
drink from the Kawthar?
Walk behind him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam And what
the Prophet Gave you, take it And what
he Forbade you, finish it Whatever the Prophet
Gives you, take it Whatever he forbids you
Abstain, abstain from it Very simple And
whoever opposes the Prophet After Guidance has become
clear to him This is in Surah An
-Nisa Ayah 115 If I'm not mistaken And
whoever opposes the Prophet After Guidance has become
clear to him And he follows Other than
the way of the believers We will make
him What he took And we will send
him To * And a bad destination Whoever
opposes, contends, the Messenger, after the guidance,
came to him, explained to him, thoroughly.
وَمَن يُشَاقِقَ الرَّسُولَةَ مِن بَعْدِ مَا تَبْعِيَنَ لَهُ
الْهُدَىٰ اَفْتَرْتْ كَيْدْ اِسْوَارَ وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمْ
وَلِلْهِ جَهَنَّمْ
وَلِلْهِ Follow
me.
Do you think you love Allah and you
love the Prophet ﷺ more than the Sahaba?
Do you love Allah and the Messenger more
than Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubayrah?
Of course not.
So why they didn't do what you are
doing?
Why they didn't invent what you invented?
Because they understood the Deen that it has
been perfected, completed.
And their Prophet told them anyone who innovates
and invents anything in our matter and our
Deen, he would be rejected.
For that reason, they just kept the Deen
and preserved it in its pristine form.
And they kept practicing and following the Prophet
ﷺ, following his footsteps.
فَلَنْ كُنتُم تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِ If you claim
that you love Allah, then follow me, Allah
will love you.
If you want Allah to love you, follow
the Prophet ﷺ.
If you don't follow his Prophet, Allah will
not love you.
وَيَقْفِلْ لَكُمْ ذِنُوبَكُمْ وَيَقْفِلْ لَكُمْ ذِنُوبَكُمْ And He
will forgive you your sins.
وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ Allah, always pay attention to
how the ayah ends and the names chosen
there.
وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ Also Allah said in surah
an-Nur ayah 47 وَيَقُولُونَ آمَنَّ بِاللَّهِ وَبِالرَّسُولِ
وَآطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكِ
This came regarding the hypocrites.
And the hypocrites say we believe in Allah
and the Messenger ﷺ and we obey.
Then a group of them, hypocrites, turns away
soon after that.
These are not true believers.
They say only by their tongues.
وَيَقُولُونَ آمَنَّ بِاللَّهِ وَبِالرَّسُولِ وَآطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّ فَرِيقٌ
مِّنْهُمْ So when وَإِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَالُوا
آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوُوا إِلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ قَالُوا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ
إِنَّمَا مَحْلُمُ مُسْتَحْزِعُونَ Allah will make fun of
them.
And He will make them obey Him.
وَإِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا Whenever they see the
Sahaba Oh Omar, Oh Abu Bakr, Oh Ali,
we are your brothers.
وَإِذَا خَلَوُوا إِلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ When they are alone
with their shayateen, their allies, the enemies of
Islam, Say, Indeed, we are with you, but
we are mocking.
We pretend to be Muslims.
We are only mockers.
Allah mocks them.
And He allows them to continue in their
misguidance.
يَقُولُونَ أَمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالرَّسُولِ وَأَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّ
فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ مِّن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ وَمَا أُولَيْكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ
They are not believers.
So this despicable quality exists, my dear brothers
and sisters, unfortunately, in many deviant groups in
Islam and sects.
They only accept what their group is upon,
even if it is wrong.
Even if it is wrong.
This is what my group is upon.
This is what my jama'a is upon.
That's it.
When Allah says يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَأَطِعُوا
اللَّهَ وَأَطِعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنتَ نَزَعْتُمْ
فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ
بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَعْوِيلًا Surat
An-Nisa 59 Allah says O Believers!
Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those
in authority among you.
Should you disagree on anything, then refer it
to Allah and His Messenger.
If you truly believe in Allah on the
Last Day, this is the best and fairest
resolution.
O Believers!
Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those
who are in authority as long as they
don't ask you to do something haram.
فَإِنْتَ نَزَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ If you disagree, dispute
regarding anything what should I do?
What should we do as Muslims when we
disagree?
فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ Take it back, refer
it to the Quran and the Sunnah.
إِن كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَمِنْ رَبِّ الْخَيْرِ If
you truly believe that ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَعْوِيلًا
That's the best resolution, the best remedy, the
best cure.
Also Allah said أَلَمْ
تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا
أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ
يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا قَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ
يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ وَيُرِيدُوا الشَّيْطَانُ أَيُّهُمْ قُلْ لَقْضَ لَا
لَفْعِيدَهَا Have you, O Prophet, not seen those
who claim, claim they believe in what has
been revealed, what has been revealed to you,
what was revealed before you?
They seek the judgment of false judges which
they were commanded to reject and Satan only
desires to lead them farther away.
Okay?
If you open the books of Tafsir, they
tell you the reason behind revelation.
Those who did not accept the judgment of
the Prophet ﷺ.
If you open Sahih Imam Bukhari, the book
of Tafsir, you will find the explanation.
So here Allah ﷻ is saying أَلَمْ تَلَى
إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا They claim that
they believe, so they didn't believe.
That is, they claim they believe in what
was sent to you, what was sent before
you, and yet they don't want you to
be the judge and resolve their issues.
They want to go to the false judges,
not you.
Though they were commanded to disbelieve in At
-Tawḥūd.
And At-Tawḥūd, anything that is obeyed and
willingly and worshipped while this object that is
worshipped, or the one who is worshipped, is
happy about that, that is Tawḥūd, as Ibn
Qayyim explained.
So Tawḥūd is this generic term for anything
that is worshipped besides Allah ﷻ.
وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَن يَكْفُلُوا بِهِ وَيُرِيدُوا الشَّيْطَانُ أَن
يُضِلِّهُمْ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا So, my dear brothers and
sisters, the moral of the lesson of today
is that it's not a matter of mere
statements and claims that we believe.
No.
If you believe, you follow.
An example for this claim and deviation
of many Muslim groups and sects, the fanaticism
and the fanatic followers of the Madhhabs, though
nowadays it became less, but in the past
don't you know that they were SubhanAllah, Sheikh
Nasser al-Din al-Albani he said, I
saw with my own eyes in the Masjid
of Damascus, Masjid al-Amawi, four jama'ah.
There are four Madhhab, four jama'ah.
Shafi'i, only the Shafi'i will pray.
No one, no Hanbali will pray behind them,
no Maliki will pray behind them, no Maliki
or Hanafi or Hanbali.
And they see, jama'ah started.
No, it is not our jama'ah.
That, Alhamdulillah, is not there anymore.
This is the fanatic followers.
When if you read what all the four
imams said, Imam Abu Hanifa said, If the
hadith is authentic, that is my Madhhab.
Follow it.
And he said, If I say something that
goes against what Allah said and His Messenger,
leave what I have said.
That's what Imam Abu Hanifa said.
Imam Malik said, I'm a human being.
It can be right, it can be wrong.
Check what I'm saying.
Whatever agrees and complies with Kitab and Sunnah,
take it.
And whatever disagrees and not in line with
Kitab and Sunnah, leave it.
And he said, He said, no one after
the Prophet, except that whatever he said, his
statements, his verdicts, his fatwas, can be accepted
or rejected, except the one who is there.
He pointed towards the house of the Prophet,
the grave.
If you find, he said, in my
works, in my books, anything that goes against
the Kitab and Sunnah, what Allah said, what
the Prophet said, he said, reject it and
follow the hadith.
And he said, Do not
emulate
me.
Do not imitate me.
Do not imitate Malik.
Do not imitate Shafi'i or Awza'i
or Thawri.
Take from where they took.
Of course, he's talking about the ulama here,
not the layman.
And he said, He said, anyone who rejects
the hadith of the Prophet, he is on
the verge, the verge, the brink of a
pit of destruction.
My dear brothers and sisters, this brings us
to the end of today's masalah.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive us
our faults, mistakes and ignorance.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala save us
from going astray.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive us
our faults, mistakes and ignorance.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless us
with the beneficial knowledge of our just deeds.
And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala unite
our ummah with the Haqq and unite our
hearts with the Haqq.
And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward
you immensely for your patience and attendance.
BarakAllahu feekum.
Jazakumullahu khaira.
Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Ameen.
Jazakumullahu khair Sheikh.
For the beneficial reminder and knowledge.
I hope everyone has been taking notes and
listening attentively.
We have received a few questions Sheikh.
Please let me know when you've received the
first one.
Inshallah.
Just one minute.
La ilaha illa Allah.
Yes Shafiq, go ahead.
BarakAllahu feekum.
The first question.
What is the difference between Shaytan and Jinn?
And will Muslim Jinn go to Jannah?
Okay.
Here, you have to understand the following.
And if you want more details, I have
sent you before, all of you, and maybe
Sister Thaliba can forward to you as well,
the series of Sheikh Dr. Muhammad Suleiman Al
-Ashqar in English.
And there in that series, there's one book,
Alim Al-Jinn Wa Shayateen, The World of
the Jinn and Shayateen.
Now, so we have Jinn and we have
Inns.
These are the genus of the kind.
Inns and Jinn.
Human beings and the Jinn.
They are called Jinn because they are invisible.
We don't see them.
Now, under this now, the broad definition, under
the Jinn, they are Shayateen.
They are Afarit.
They are Sikkim.
They are Ummab.
Different categories.
The first one under the Jinn is Afrit.
Of course, now, under the Inns, the head
of the Inns, the father of the human
beings, Adam.
Under the Jinn, their head, their father is
Iblis.
And then the descendants.
The descendants of Iblis.
Because the Jinn, they are like the human
beings.
They multiply.
They multiply.
Another word, like us.
There's a book called Al-Marjan Fi Ahkam
Al-Jan.
Many stories mentioned there.
And they said Imam Shabi has one of
the Jinn friends.
Muhaddith.
Scholar of Hadith.
And one day they asked him, what do
you like?
What is your favorite food?
He said rice.
So they put the rice and they saw
the, they see, they saw the morsels of
rice arising until the plate became empty.
Okay.
So another word, though we don't see them,
we don't see them.
So you have the, under Iblis, you have
the, the most rebellious ones among the Shayateen
is the Ifrit.
Ifrit.
Then others.
So there are different categories.
Some of them are living with us in
our homes, in the toilets.
Some they are in the house.
They read Surah Al-Baqarah.
And they share your food and they sleep
in the house, et cetera.
So anyone who wants details should read the
book by Sheikh Musleh Mane Al-Ashqar, Rahimahullah.
Next question.
And of course they, among them, as in
Surah Al-Jinn, they are Muslims and non
-Muslims.
And those who become Muslims, of course, they
will be rewarded and they will not be
cast into the *.
Okay.
And the ulema, they said, either they are
inside the Jannah or on the outskirts of
the Jannah.
Because one delegation of the jinn who became
Muslims, wafdu nasibain, they came to the Prophet,
salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
They became Muslims and they came and visited
the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
spent one night with them, teaching them Islam
and reading to them Surah Ar-Rahman.
Yes.
Next.
Barak wa fiqh.
The next question.
What is the aqeedah of those who believe
that we don't have a choice in our
actions?
Those are the jibreeyah, known as the faithists.
The faithists, the jibreeyah, they say, a human
being has no choice, has no free will.
It's just like a feather, okay, that is
blown and carried by the wind.
Here they are saying, of course, if I
have no choice, I have no free will,
okay, I should not be held accountable and
I'm committing sin because I have no choice.
So why Allah should punish me?
Those who are saying this, the ulema, they
said in the past, anyone who says a
human being has no free will and he
is just compelled and forced to do these
things, so he should not be held accountable.
And one of their poets said, paraphrasing their
belief, he said, so
he's saying about Allah.
Actually, they are accusing Allah and attributing to
Allah injustice, injustice, because why should a person
go to * when he has no choice
and he is forced to commit this sin,
forced to kill, forced to fornicate, forced to
drink alcohol.
He has no free will, he has no
choice.
So their poet, he said, he threw him
into the water, into the river, sea, after
he handcuffed him and tied him, tied him,
so he cannot swim, he cannot move.
So his hands are tied, his legs are
tied, and he threw him into the water.
The hands are tied.
And told this man, after he threw him
into the water, your body shall not become
wet.
What is this?
This is zulm.
You tie my hands, threw me into the
water, and then you told me I should
not drown and my body should not become
wet.
So what he's saying that Allah, he tied
me and then he told me don't do
the haram, and he forced me to do
it.
So the ulama then said, if someone comes
and he holds this aqeedah, slap him on
the face or punch him in his face
or hit him with anything, he will react.
He told him, I have no free will,
I am forced.
Don't blame me.
I'm just like the feather.
Would he accept that?
He would not.
And the ulama then mentioned, they said, one
of those who believed in this aqeedah, he
found his wife teething on him, sleeping with
a man.
He started hitting her.
He said, my husband, I have no option.
I have no choice.
I have no free will.
He said, of course you have free will.
He said, oh, my husband, you became karim.
He said, May Allah reward you.
You reminded me.
Yeah.
I should not blame you.
People who have this, they lost their minds.
Next question, please.
The next question.
What is a dayyouth?
If my mother and sister are dressing inappropriately
in public, does that class me as a
dayyouth if I accompany them?
The dayyouth, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
explained it, that the one who sees the
deviation, the immorality, the immoral behavior of his
wife or his relatives, and he turned his
face.
OK, and he closed his eyes and he
is content and he accepts that this is
the dayyouth and he will not enter the
Jannah.
OK.
So if someone, his mother or sisters, they
dress indecently.
In public, he should not accompany them.
He should warn them and he has to
be strict with them and he should not
allow them.
Not that he escorts them.
He goes with them while they are dressing
indecently.
OK.
For example, if they go swimming and in
their bikinis and.
OK.
Now he said, I'm not going with you.
I will not travel with you.
This is haram.
We are Muslims.
And he has to put his foot down
and be strict with them.
Besides, of course, making dua for them, reminding
them, but he should not help them and
he should not escort them and accompany them
and go with them.
He should not.
This is clear.
Next.
The next question.
Is having dreadlocks as in the hairstyle, is
it permissible in the deen growing the hair
like the Rastafarians?
Now, is this the question of a man
or a woman?
A woman, they can braid their hair and
made it into locks.
OK.
Women, they normally braid their hair, make it
in locks, braided.
Women are allowed.
But now the question, can a man do
that if he is growing his hair following
the sunnah of the Prophet, yes, the Prophet
had braided his hair.
OK.
But not like Bob Marley.
OK, locks.
And even today, the Bedouins, the Arabs, they
do still.
Find he has long hair and locks.
But on top of that is the turban,
the imamah.
So when you look at him, he's a
man.
He doesn't look feminish or sissyish.
The problem that some of the youth, they
will say, oh, we want to grow hair.
But the way they look, they look like
girls, girlish.
Girlish they become.
That's not.
Because here.
And this is now a problem.
The men are losing their masculinity.
They're not masculine.
That is gone.
Youth are soft.
A woman doesn't like that.
A woman wants to have a man.
They're girlish.
Feminish and also the women become masculine.
They want to become like men.
And this will lead them to destruction because
they are reversing their roles.
Men, they become feminine.
Gays, homo and the women, they are masculine
going to the building and building their muscles
and.
We can't be like you.
And they lose their real asset.
The asset of a woman is her femininity.
You don't want a woman to have muscles.
You want soft body, graceful, a woman, feminine.
That's what a man is looking for.
The view, the moment you lose that, your
femininity, you lost everything.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Are you there?
Yes, I was waiting for you to say
next question.
I don't want to speak before you.
Shall I move on to the next question?
Yeah, yeah.
Move.
OK.
The next question.
I have been invited to a family wedding
on the program.
It says there is an entertainment and also
the groom will enter the hall at a
certain time.
Can I go or not?
Please advise.
If it is free mixing, don't go.
It is free mixing.
Men and women and dance and all that
stuff, or maybe some wedding, they have alcohol
as well.
Muslim, yeah.
So if it is a free mixing, don't
go.
Next.
This was the final question and there's no
more questions.
May Allah bless you all for your attendance
and Jazak Allah Khair.
Sheikh for the extra beneficial lesson today.
Inshallah it was of benefits and everyone took
good notes.
Barak Allah Fikum Jazak Allah Khairan Assalamu Alaikum
Wa Alaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh May
Allah bless all of you, my dear brothers
and sisters.
May Allah elevate your status in this world
and in Jannatul Naeem.
Until we meet inshallah in the coming session,
I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
Fihifdhullahi Wa Ra'ayatihi Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi
