			As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			Dear respected students, may Allah bless you for
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			your attendance.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			Today we are covering the Kitāb al-Tawhīd
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			by Muḥammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Just a quick reminder, please take notes, listen
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			attentively, and hand your questions over to myself
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			or the co-host throughout the course of
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			the lesson.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			With that said, I will hand it back
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			to the Shaykh to start the lesson.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			Barakullāhu fīkum wa-jazākum Allāhu khayran.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			Wa-alaykum as-salāmu wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			Bismillāhi r-Rahmāni r-Raḥīm.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			Inna l-ḥamdu liLlāhi l-madduhū wa-nista
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			'īnuhū wa-nastaghfiruhū.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			Wa-naʻūdhu bi-llāhi mina sh-shirūri anfusinā
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			wa-min sayyi'āti ʿamādinā.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			Can you hear me?
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			Yes, we can hear you now, Shaykh.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			We lost you for a second.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			Bismillāhi r-Rahmāni r-Raḥīm.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			Inna l-ḥamdu liLlāhi l-madduhū wa-nista
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			'īnuhū wa-nastaghfiruhū.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			Wa-naʻūdhu bi-llāhi mina sh-shirūri anfusinā
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			wa-min sayyi'āti ʿamādinā.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Innahu man yahdihillāhu falā mudhilla lah.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			Wa man yudhlil falā hādiya lah.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			Wa ash'hadu an lā ilāha illā Llāh
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			wahdahu lā sharīka lah.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:12
			Wa ash'hadu anna Muḥammadan abiduhu wa Rasūluh.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			Amma ba'du fa-inna ʿaṣḍaqa l-ḥadīth kitābu
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			Allāhi ta'ālā.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			Wa khayran l-ḥadī hadī Muḥammadin ṣallá Llāhu
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			ʿalayhi wa-ālayhi wa-sallam.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			Wa sharra l-umūri muhdathātuhā.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			Wa kulla muhdathatin bid'ah.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			Wa kulla bid'atin dhulālah.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			Wa kulla walaylatin fil-llāh.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Amma ba'du my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			Today is our weekly class, Kitāb al-Tawḥīd,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			chapter number two.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			Bābu fadli al-tawḥīdī wa ma yukaffirū mina
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			al-dunūba.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			So this is the title of the chapter.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			The virtues, virtues of the Tawḥīd, the superiority
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:20
			of the Tawḥīd, and its excellence in washing
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:26
			away sins, removing sins.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			So the superiority of Tawḥīd and what it
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			removes of sins.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			Before delving, you can see from the title,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			before delving into the chapter, you can see
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:49
			from the title that the chapter is going
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:55
			to mention the virtues of Tawḥīd, importance of
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:01
			the Tawḥīd, and the excellence of the Tawḥīd
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:06
			if you actualize it truly in your life.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			Because Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā, He created
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			us for the Tawḥīd, to worship Him alone.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			As you know, wa mā khabaktu l-jinn
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			wa l-insa illa liyabudū.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			I created jinn and mankind only to worship
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:27
			me.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			And this beautiful book, Kitāb al-Tawḥīd, dedicated
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			mainly for Tawḥīd al-'ibādah.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			The unity of worship, Tawḥīd al-Uluhiyyah.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			As you know, there are three categories of
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			Tawḥīd, or three aspects of the Tawḥīd.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			Explain this.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			All the three categories of Tawḥīd mentions the
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			Surah al-Fātiḥah, as you know.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:06
			So it's not something a concocted, invented, innovation,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			etc.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			As many of the Sufis and the ignorant
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			and the fools, they claim.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			So the three types of the Tawḥīd, or
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:26
			categories, either it is talking about Allāh subḥānahu
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:35
			wa ta'ālā and what He deserves, Allāh's
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			names, Allāh's attributes, what we call Him, what
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:44
			we cannot call Him, what we can ascribe
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			to Him, what we cannot ascribe to Him.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			And this is known as Tawḥīd al-asmā
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			'u ṣ-ṣifāt, and I beg you to
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			take notes.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00
			And this refers, we refer to as Tawḥīd
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			al-asmā'u ṣ-ṣifāt, unity of divine
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			names and attributes of Allāh.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			Or, singling out Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:15
			regarding His own divine acts, His own actions
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:22
			that He provides, He cherishes, He protects, He
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			defends His servants.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			So He's the cherisher, the creator, He creates.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			No one creates but Allāh.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			So singling Him out regarding His own divine
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			acts, and this is known as Tawḥīd ar
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46
			-rubūbīyah, singling Him out as your Rabb, your
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50
			Lord, unity of Lordship, ar-rubūbīyah.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			And the third category is related to our
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			actions, the actions and the deeds of the
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			servants.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:08
			So singling Him out regarding our actions that
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			we offer, our deeds, our actions to Him
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			and Him only.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			So all our a'māl, all our deeds are
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:18
			for Allāh.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			Salāh for Allāh, zakāh for Allāh, ḥajj for
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			Allāh.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			Every act of worship is only for Allāh
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			subḥānahu wa ta'ālā.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			And we should not associate any partner with
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:32
			Him.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:42
			And this particular category, type of Tawḥīd, this
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			book is focusing on that.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			That's why this book is unique.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			Unique in its categorization, the way He classified
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:00
			it, the author, rahimahullah, and the chapters mentioned
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			therein.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			And as you know, Allāh subḥānahu wa ta
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:13
			'ālā sent His messengers and prophets to the
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			people, to the nations, to focus on this
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			category, this Tawḥīd.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			Because type one and two, Lordship, ar-rubūbīyah,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:32
			and divine names and attributes, it is there
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			by default.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			Any person who has sound nature, sound fitlah,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			he knows his creator is Allāh, even the
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			idol worshipper.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:50
			Go and ask him, is this idol the
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			one that created you?
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			He'll tell you, no, no, no, no, God,
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:54
			God.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:04
			This is only intermediary means of communicating
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:10
			and conveying my needs to my, the creator,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			Allāh.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:19
			But what happened to mankind regarding the third
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:25
			category, they started associating others with Allāh in
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:33
			their ibadah, in the worship, associating intermediaries.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			For that reason, Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:41
			sent the messengers to all the nations to
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:45
			correct this misconception and misunderstanding.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:03
			We have sent into every community, every nation,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			every people, messengers.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Who?
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			Declaring to them, announcing to them, an-n
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			'abudu Llāh, worship Allāh.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			He's calling them to worship Allāh alone.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:27
			Wa-ytanibu ṭ-ṭahūt, and shun and desert
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			all false deities.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			So the messengers came to call the people
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			to worship Allāh alone without associating anyone with
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:43
			Him.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:54
			Allāh says, qilā thamūd akhāhum Ṣāliḥah, qalā ya
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			qawmi ʿabudu Llāh, mā lakum min ilāhi ghayruh.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:03
			And the recorner remember, Ṣāliḥah was sent to
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:08
			his people, thamūd, tribe of thamūd, telling them,
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:13
			an-n'abudu Llāh, worship Allāh, mā lakum
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			min ilāhi ghayruh.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:19
			You have no other ilāh, other deity to
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			worship except Him.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:25
			Wa-yla madyana akhāhum shu'ayba, qalā ya
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:30
			qawmi ʿabudu Llāh, mā lakum min ilāhi These
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			are people of Madya, their brother Shu'ayb,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:39
			alayhi s-salām, calling them, ʿabudu Llāh, worship
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			Allāh, mā lakum min ilāhi ghayruh.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			You have no other ilāh, you have no
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			other deity to worship except Him.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			Wa-yla ādin akhāhum hūdā, qalā ya qawmi
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:55
			ʿabudu Llāh, mā lakum min ilāhi These are
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:01
			people of Ād, the brotherhood, same message, ʿabudu
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:09
			Llāh, ʿabudu, ʿabudu, ʿabudu, worship, worship, worship, Allāh
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			alone, mā lakum min ilāhi ghayruh.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:18
			You have no other ilāh, He is the
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			true deity you should worship, and you have
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			to disbelieve the farūd and shun all the
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			false deities.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			So the anbiyā, the rūsūl, came to focus
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:44
			on tawḥīd al-'ibādah, because that's when where the
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:55
			march of mankind, okay,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:04
			diverted, that's where humanity diverted and went astray.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:13
			And subḥāna Llāh, many of the people, or
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			those who call in the field of da
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			'wah, you find them focusing on tawḥīd al
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:24
			-rūbūbīyah, tawḥīd al-rūbūbīyah, and thinking that is
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			enough.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			It's not enough to believe that Allāh is
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			my Creator, Cherisher, Sustainer, everything is in His
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			hand, and then when it comes to my
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			actions, my acts of worship, I direct them
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:45
			to other than because if I understand tawḥīd
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:52
			al-rūbūbīyah truly, that necessitates and dictates that
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:58
			I should only worship the one who gives
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			me everything, who provides me everything, who protects
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			me from everything.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			So here this second chapter of Kitāb al
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:14
			-Tawḥīd, and I recommend that you read the
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			book, understand it, and try to memorize it.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			So bāb faghul al-tawḥīd, the virtues of
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:26
			tawḥīd, wa mā yukaffirū min ad-dhunūm, and
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			the types of sins that it expiates and
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			washes away.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:38
			And here I want you to note down
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:38
			the following.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			Here there are two good news for the
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:54
			monotheists of the muwāhid, because the key of
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			the Jannah is lā ilāha illā Llāh, but
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:03
			remember the key will have teeth, will have
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:08
			teeth, and you know there are seven conditions
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			of lā ilāha illā Llāh, you know them,
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			you should know them by heart now.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:30
			So if you fulfill those conditions, seven
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:34
			conditions, if you memorize them and understand them
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			and apply in your life, and you fulfill
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:42
			these conditions, then this good news is for
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			you, the glad tidings.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			So lā ilāha illā Llāh is not the
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:55
			service you say and you think you will
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			be delivered, you will be saved.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:01
			No, you are mistaken, you have to fulfill
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			the conditions of it.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:19
			Knowledge, yaqīl, certainty, acceptance, qabūl, ilm,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:27
			yaqīl, qabūl, inqiyāt, submission, siddh, truthfulness, sincerity, ikhlāṣ,
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			and love.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:33
			So here the good news is that the
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:45
			muwāhid, the monotheist, the true monotheist will
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:52
			not stay in the hellfire forever, because being
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:59
			a monotheist doesn't mean you are infallible, ma'sūm,
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:04
			and you will not make mistakes or commit
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:17
			sins because you are a human being, okay?
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:27
			But because you are a monotheist, Allāh subḥāna
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:35
			wa ta'ālā, He punishes those monotheists, the
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:40
			sinners who committed sins, for their sins, for
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:43
			a specific period of time in the hellfire,
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			then He brings them out to the jannah,
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			from the hellfire to the jannah.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:55
			So the monotheist, the muwāhid, will never remain
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			in the hellfire.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			Only those who are destined for *, to
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			stay there forever, are the kafir, not the
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			monotheists, not the believers.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:19
			Now this should instill fear in our heart,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:28
			because what happens, some Muslims, they feel, oh,
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:33
			I am muwāhid, I don't commit shirk, I
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:38
			don't call the saints, the dead, and everyone
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			is boasting while he is committing other sins,
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:46
			and he or she thinks that, oh, I
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			will go straight forward to the jannah.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			No, no, no.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			Be careful.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			Fulfill the conditions.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			Where is the submission?
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			Where is the submission?
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			You submit, where is it?
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			Where are the a'māl?
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			Where is the ṣalāh?
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			Where is the zakāh?
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:20
			Because some, they have this wrong understanding, misconception.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25
			As long as I believe that only Allāh
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			deserves ibadah and worship, that's enough.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:29
			No.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			You have to protect yourself and refrain from
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:41
			all the things that make Allāh ﷻ angry.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:51
			And you have to sanctify and respect the
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			limits set by Allāh ﷻ and don't cross
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:55
			them.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			So that's why the belief of Ahl as
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:11
			-Sunnah, for those who commit and perpetrate kaba
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:19
			'ib, major sins, khamarūb, drinking alcohol, zina, theft,
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:28
			murder, they are sinners.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:34
			And they still remain within the fold of
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			Islām.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			And we see the Muslims and when they
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:42
			die, if someone dies while drinking alcohol or
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:47
			committing zina, we give him or her burial
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:52
			wash, bury them in the Muslim graveyard.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			His wife will go through the waiting period,
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:04
			how his wealth will be distributed among his,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			the heirs, the children.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			And we pray and ask Allāh ﷻ to
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			forgive him or her.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			And the matter is with Allāh ﷻ.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			We can neither say he's going to *,
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			nor that he's going to Jannah.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			The matter is with Allāh ﷻ.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:37
			The ulama, they say, it's under Allāh's will.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:42
			It's up to Allāh ﷻ, whether to forgive
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			him or to punish him.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:59
			Because Allāh ﷻ says, So
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			Allāh ﷻ made it clear.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:08
			Allāh ﷻ does not forgive associating any partner
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			with Him.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:16
			And He ﷻ forgives anything less than that
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			to whom He ﷻ wills.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			And no doubt, major sins are less than
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:23
			shirk.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			So the one who died while drinking alcohol,
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			the one who died while committing zina, the
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:41
			one who died while committing theft, this major
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			sin is less than shirk.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			So he is up to Allāh ﷻ.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			He's under Allāh's rahmah.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:55
			And it's Allāh ﷻ who decides whether to
		
00:22:55 --> 00:23:01
			punish him and purify him in the hellfire
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:10
			or in the grave or to forgive him.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			Because Allāh ﷻ can forgive.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			Allāh ﷻ forgave the man who killed 100
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			innocent souls.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			Allāh ﷻ forgave the woman who was a
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			prostitute when she gave water to the thirsty
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			dog.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			And Allāh ﷻ cannot be questioned.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:41
			The deviant sects like the Mu'tazila and others,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:46
			they said that Allāh ﷻ has no right
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:51
			to forgive the sinners.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:56
			That's why to them, anyone who commits major
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			sin is a kāfir.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			Kāfir.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			Ahlu s-Sunnah refuted that.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:09
			They said, if he's a kāfir, his punishment
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			should be capital punishment.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:16
			But what's the capital punishment for one who
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			commits theft?
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			To cut his hand off, that's it.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			Not to kill him.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			One who drinks alcohol to be lashed.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			So he's not an apostate, he's not a
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:37
			Mu'tazila.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:43
			And that's why the Mu'tazila, these are deviant
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:51
			sects, as entity and number of people or
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			founders or persons, yeah, they perish.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			They don't.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			But as thought, still alive.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:07
			And many people, they hold the views of
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:07
			the Mu'tazila.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			And there are attempts to revive the heritage
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:13
			of the Mu'tazila.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			Other sects, they adopted the same thing.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			That the one who commits major sin, he's
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			a kāfir.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			Ahlu s-Sunnah say, no, he's not a
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			kāfir, he's a Muslim.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			Because the Prophet ﷺ, the way he treated
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:43
			the perpetrators of major sins, proves that he
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			considered them Muslims.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			Ma' is the one who committed zina.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:54
			After he was stoned, they performed janāzah and
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			they prayed for him.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			The same thing for the woman.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:05
			The one who killed himself, he killed himself.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:12
			The Prophet ﷺ said to the Sahabah, he
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			didn't perform janāzah prayer, but he allowed the
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			Sahabah to perform the janāzah prayer, which means
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			he's not a kāfir, he's a Muslim.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			So keep this in mind.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:30
			So here, among the virtues of the Tawheed,
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:38
			for the Mu'ahid, if Allah came so
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			that it is fit to punish him in
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:45
			the hellfire, then he will not stay in
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			the hellfire forever.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:50
			The Mu'tazila, because they are saying, the one
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			who commits major sins will remain in the
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:57
			hellfire forever, they rejected all the ahadith about
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			shafā'ah intercession.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02
			Because all the ahadith of the shafā'ah
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:07
			are for the sinners, those who committed sins
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			and entered the hellfire.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			And their aqidah says he will remain there
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			forever.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			So if they approve of all the ahadith
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:22
			of shafā'ah, this refutes their belief.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			So they decided to reject the ahadith of
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			shafā'ah.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			So the Mu'ahid, my dear brothers and
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			sisters, will not stay in the hellfire forever.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			And this is good news, okay, that he
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			will not stay in the hellfire forever.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:47
			And the second thing, good news, for those
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:52
			who did not commit sins, those who were
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:56
			leading pious righteous lives, major sins.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:03
			Minor sins, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			means and ways of expiating them daily.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			You see, the wudu is one of the
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11
			means.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:15
			If you saw something haram and now time
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			for salat, you are taking wudu.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:22
			All the sins of watching that haram or
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:25
			seeing that haram are coming out with the
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			water, washed away.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			The five prayers, they wash away the minor
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:32
			sins.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			The istighfar, all the good deeds you do.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:44
			So Allah put and provided cleanses, means of
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:48
			cleansing the dirt that we commit every day,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			the minor sins.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:29:02
			Friday prayer, okay, jum'ah, expiate the minor
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			sins.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			So all the ahadith that you come across,
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			they are talking about minor sins.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			Major sins, you have to make sincere tawbah.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			You have to make sincere tawbah.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:27
			So the muhadd who was leading upright conduct,
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:32
			pious righteous life, by Allah's grace, he will
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			not enter the hellfire.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			And he will go straight to the jannah.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			He will go straight to the jannah.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			Like the hadith which is known to many
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:50
			of you, the 70,000 who will enter
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:57
			the jannah without calling for reckoning, without being
		
00:29:57 --> 00:30:02
			called to for accountability, they go straight to
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			the jannah.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			And without being punished.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:15
			Those who do not ask for ruqya, they
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			don't ask someone to read on them, don't
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			ask if you want to be from the
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			70,000.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:29
			Because the authentic narration, they don't ask anyone
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			to read on them.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:35
			The narration that they don't read on somebody,
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37
			that narration is not authentic.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			So if you want to be from the
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:45
			70,000, you should not ask for someone
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			to read on you when you are sick.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:50
			That's why, my dear brothers and sisters, if
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			you visit a brother or a sister, and
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:58
			happen to be sick, and he or she
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:01
			be sick, then you don't ask him or
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			her, do you want me to read on
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:03
			you?
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:04
			No.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			Just read without seeking permission.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			And he or she should not refuse.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			But this is a gift from Allah.
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:23
			So the 70,000 here, they don't ask
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			someone to read on them.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29
			They don't believe in the evil omens.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			They believe only in Allah.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:45
			And they don't cauterize themselves, blinding themselves with
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:50
			fire, with hot metals.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:55
			So these are their qualities.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:05
			So they enter the jannah without calling, being
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:11
			called to reckoning or for reckoning accountability.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			So they go straight to the jannah.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:32
			The shuhada, the martyrs, people are still waiting
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:37
			for the hisab, for reckoning, and they go
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			straight to the jannah.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:42
			The angels ask them, you finished?
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			He said, there was nothing.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:48
			There was nothing we had, okay, or to
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			be asked about.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			It was sought only with us and we
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:57
			were fighting and we were martyred.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:02
			So they are going straight to the jannah.
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			Or the fuqara of the ansar, of the
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:11
			muhajireen, they enter the jannah before the rest
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			of mankind.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			So that's why each one of us should
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:23
			strive and work hard to avoid sinning.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29
			So the virtues of tawheed.
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says
		
00:33:40 --> 00:34:00
			in surah al-an'am, ayah 82, Allah
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:11
			said, it is those who believe in the
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			oneness of Allah and worship none but Him
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:18
			alone and confuse not their belief with zulm,
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:26
			we'll explain that, for them only there is
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:29
			security and they are guided ones.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:37
			Now this ayah, when it came down, the
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			sahaba are pure Arabs.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			This is what makes them unique.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			They know the Quran.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:53
			They know the meaning of the Quran.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			It is in their mother tongue.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:02
			And you will not believe this, that many
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:08
			of the deviant sects, Mu'tazila, Jahmiya and others,
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:14
			they went astray because they were not well
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:22
			established in understanding the Arabic language and the
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:25
			way the Arabs talk and the way the
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:32
			Arabs communicate and the different types of usage
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:36
			of the Arabic language.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:42
			That's why the famous debate that happened between
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:46
			one of the Jahmiya and Abdul Aziz al
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:51
			-Kinani in his famous debate and it's mentioned
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			in the book al-Hajjah.
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:58
			Abdul Aziz al-Kinani, rahimahu Allah, told the
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:07
			khalifa a debate with the bishop on the
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:17
			condition using the Quran and
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:27
			the way the Arabs understand the tongue because
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			he's not an Arab.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:37
			And if you read the debate, he made
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			many blunders, the Jahmiya.
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:43
			So much so that the khalifa was laughing.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49
			So the Arabs, the Quran came in their
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			mother tongue.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			So they know it exactly.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:54
			They know the meaning of it.
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:59
			That's why you don't find many questions.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:11
			You don't find many questions posed by the
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:15
			sahaba because it was known to them.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:19
			Here and there, because there are some words
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:25
			in the Quran revealed in the tongue of
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			some other tribes.
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:45
			So maybe this particular word is not known
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:50
			to this companion because it's not there in
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:52
			his tongue, his mother tongue.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			It's the language of another tribe.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:03
			But in general, the Quran came down in
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:07
			the language and mainly in the mother tongue
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:07
			of Quraish.
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:16
			For example, I remember now that Ibn Umar,
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:21
			I think Ibn Umar said, one of the
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:24
			sahaba, he said, I didn't know that the
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:27
			mudia means sikin.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:31
			Mudia is another name for sikin, which means
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			a knife.
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:40
			It is indeed used by other tribes.
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:43
			They call the knife, the sikin, mudia.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			And the Quran used the word sikin.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:52
			And subhanAllah, the Arabic language, my dear brothers
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			and sisters, is so rich.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:56
			So rich.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:05
			They are, they calculated roughly 12 million in
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:10
			the dictionary, 12 million of the vocabularies or
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:15
			the roots, yudur, roots, 12 million.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			You will not find any other language like
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21
			that.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			And from this root, you can derive many
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:27
			words.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:31
			That's why when you are searching in the
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:34
			Arabic dictionary, you have to go to the
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:34
			root of the word.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:44
			That's why in the hadith only, no one
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:51
			will master and encompass all the Arabic tongue,
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			except a prophet.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:56
			And Imam Shafi'i said the same thing.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:05
			Only a prophet will understand the Arabic tongue
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:05
			totally.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:13
			In the year of the delegations, the Arab
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:19
			tribes are flocking to Medina to become Muslims.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			They came from the different parts of Arabia,
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			different tongues, different dialects.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			And the Prophet ﷺ was communicating with all
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			of them and understanding all of them.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:38
			Now coming to the ayah, that's why my
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:42
			dear brothers and sisters, put efforts to know
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			the Arabic tongue.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:59
			Nafi' ibn al-Azraq is one of the
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:02
			khawarij, was giving tough time to Ibn Abbas.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:11
			Every time Ibn Abbas explains an ayah, he
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			would stop him.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:16
			And he would tell Ibn Abbas, do the
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:19
			Arabs know this meaning you mentioned?
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			Give the proof that this is the meaning
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			in the Arabic tongue.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:31
			And Ibn Abbas would quote a poetic verse
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:35
			said by the Arabs before Islam.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:42
			So this shows the importance of learning Arabic.
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:45
			Without learning Arabic, you will not understand the
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:45
			Qur'an.
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:57
			Shaykh Muhammad al-Amin al-Shinqiti, the one
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:00
			who wrote Tafsir al-Adwa al-Bayan, was
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:07
			asked once, the ulama, in his journey traveling
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:12
			from Mauritania to Mecca, he passed by Sudan.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16
			So he was asked, which book are you
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:17
			reading now, Shaykh?
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			Right now, which book you are reading?
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			Ulama are always reading.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:29
			He said, I'm reading the Diwan of Umar
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:30
			ibn Rabi'ah.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			I'm reading the compendium.
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:40
			I'm reading the book that contains the poems
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:45
			compiled and composed by Umar ibn Rabi'ah.
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:47
			He's a poet.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:53
			He said, Shaykh, why are you reading poetry?
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:57
			He said, I want to, in order to
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:03
			understand the speech of my Rabb, to understand
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:06
			the speech of Allah, the Qur'an, so
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:10
			I have to know the different patterns and
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:14
			types of the Arabs' speech.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:23
			Coming to the ayah, when the sahaba heard
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:41
			this ayah, those who believe, mix,
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:46
			dilute their iman.
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			Zulm means wrongdoing.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:59
			So they understood the word zulm, wrongdoing, injustice,
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			in its broad sense.
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			But that is the meaning of zulm in
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:14
			their tongue.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:22
			So the ayah says, those who believe and
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:31
			do not confuse or mix or add zulm
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:44
			to their iman, so everyone knows that I
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:54
			wrong myself, I do wrongdoing things, that
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:56
			means I will not be.
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:01
			The condition in the ayah is so difficult,
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:04
			so difficult.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:09
			Who can raise his hand and say that
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:13
			I don't mix my iman with zulm, I
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:17
			don't commit wrongdoing, I don't commit injustice, neither
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19
			to myself nor to others.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			Who can dare to say that?
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:22
			No one.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:29
			We're human beings, so what to do?
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:35
			See the sahaba understood this very well.
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:44
			So this is a condition, those who believe
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:48
			and mix not their iman with zulm.
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:56
			Do not commit zulm, okay?
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:06
			That means after fulfilling this condition, the reward,
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:16
			but then those who fulfill the condition without
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:21
			committing zulm, then they will be having amin,
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			they will be granted, they will be given
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:28
			amin, security.
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:39
			And they are guided, so they felt this
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:40
			condition is difficult.
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:48
			So they came to the prophet, and they
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:53
			said this ayah, that having amin, we cannot
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:54
			bear it.
		
00:46:56 --> 00:47:02
			No one will be granted security and will
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:06
			be guided, because the fulfillment of the condition
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:09
			is very hard.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			The prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained to
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:18
			them here, that the meaning of zulm here,
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:23
			not in the broad sense as you understood
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:28
			it, the zulm here is used specifically to
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:32
			refer to a particular type of zulm, and
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33
			that is the shirk.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41
			So when you commit shirk, that is also
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:47
			zulm, because zulm is doing, putting the something
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:48
			in the wrong place.
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			So here, the zulm in this ayah is
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:57
			the shirk.
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			And he told them, didn't you hear what
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:10
			Luqman said to his son, when he was
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:18
			advising his son, O my son, do not
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:22
			associate anyone with Allah.
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:34
			Merely shirk, associationism, polytheism, shirk, associating any partner
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:40
			with Allah, zulm azeem, great injustice, great zulm.
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:44
			So the zulm in the ayah there, it's
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:46
			the same zulm here.
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:53
			So the ayah means, alladhina amanu walam yalbisu
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:59
			imanuhum bi zulm, means shirk, those who die
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:04
			and they did not commit shirk, then this
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:07
			good news for them, and good glad tidings
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:08
			for them.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:16
			Ulaika, who did not commit shirk, ulaika lahumul
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:22
			amn, okay, for them is the security.
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:28
			They will have this amn in the next
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:28
			life.
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:34
			They will feel secured and safe from Allah's
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:38
			punishment, from Allah's anger, from the hellfire.
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:45
			And they are guided in their life here,
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:52
			they are guided because they are abiding by
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:59
			the teachings of their Rabb, following their book,
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:02
			following the sunnah of their prophet, so they
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:04
			are guided for whom they are doing.
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:09
			Because if you follow the Quran and the
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11
			sunnah, finished, you are guided.
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:20
			Because this Quran leads, yahdi lillahi akwam, leads
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:21
			to that which is the most upright.
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:30
			So this ayah is giving this good news
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:36
			for the believers, for the monotheists, for those
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:38
			who did not commit shirk.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:45
			And this shows the virtue of the tawheed.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:52
			And from Ubad ibn al-Samit, may Allah
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:59
			be pleased with him, he said, The Messenger
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:08
			and his family, said, Whoever witnesses that there
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:12
			is no god but Allah, alone, with no
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:18
			partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:23
			Messenger, and that Jesus is the servant of
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:26
			Allah and His Messenger, and that His Word
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:30
			was sent to Mary, and that Jesus is
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:31
			the servant of Allah and His Messenger, and
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:33
			that His Word was sent to Mary, and
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:36
			that the Spirit is from Him, and that
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			Paradise is truth, and that Hellfire is truth.
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:42
			Allah has admitted him to Paradise for what
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:44
			he did.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:53
			The meaning, this is akhrajah, that means Bukhari
		
00:51:53 --> 00:52:00
			and Muslim, authentic hadith, narrated Ubad ibn al
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:05
			-Samit, may Allah be pleased with him, that
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			Allah's Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him,
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:17
			said, Whoever testifies
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:21
			that there is nothing worthy of worship in
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:32
			truth except Allah alone, without peer
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:38
			or partner, and that Muhammad is His slave
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:45
			and servant and Messenger, and that Isa, Jesus
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:46
			Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, is
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:50
			the slave of Allah, His Messenger, and His
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:57
			Word, which He bestowed in Mary, and the
		
00:52:57 --> 00:53:00
			Spirit created from Him.
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:09
			And that Paradise and Hellfire are realities.
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:15
			Allah will admit him into Paradise, whatever his
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:19
			deeds might be, quoted by Bukhari and Muslim.
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:29
			Now, let us reflect on this beautiful hadith.
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			So, Sayyidina Ubad ibn al-Samit, may Allah
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:36
			be pleased with him, reported this hadith, and
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:38
			the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him,
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:48
			said, So, whoever
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:55
			testifies, okay, that there is no deity worthy
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:00
			of worship except Allah, without associating any part
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:00
			with Allah.
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:07
			So, this is the first part of the
		
00:54:07 --> 00:54:08
			Shahada.
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:13
			La ilaha illallah, which means you have to
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15
			fulfill the seven conditions.
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:18
			The seven conditions.
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:24
			Don't think that la ilaha illallah, Hamad Rasulullah,
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:25
			finished.
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:32
			And that's what we have to teach to
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:35
			the people when we are calling them to
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:35
			Islam.
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:39
			We have to explain to them, explain to
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:47
			them the Tawheed, explain to them the significance
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:48
			of this Kalima.
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:57
			A few minutes ago, you were Kafir.
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:59
			After saying it, you become a Muslim.
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:00
			Why?
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:06
			So, he or she has to understand the
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:07
			meaning of it.
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:11
			That's why Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:21
			in the Quran, Know the meaning of la
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:21
			ilaha illallah.
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:23
			Know it.
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:32
			Imam Bukhari in his Sahih, one chapter, Baab
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:36
			al-'ilm, qabla al-qawli wa al-'amal.
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:39
			The title is like that.
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:42
			Baab al-'ilm, knowledge comes first.
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:58
			Before the verbalization, before the articulation, before the
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:02
			utterance and actions, understand the meaning of it.
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:09
			That's why the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:13
			13 years in Mecca, calling the people to
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:19
			la ilaha illallah, to instill it in their
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:19
			heart.
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:24
			And Quraysh refused to say it, because they
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:25
			knew the meaning of it.
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:29
			To say la ilaha illallah means no idols,
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:38
			no idols.
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:42
			The Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, did not
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:45
			tell them, leave la ta'uzzamana, no.
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:47
			He told them, say la ilaha illallah.
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:49
			Say, we know the meaning.
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:53
			And that's what they said.
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:06
			He's calling us to worship only Allah, the
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:07
			one who's in heaven.
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:09
			How about the 360 idols?
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:10
			What to do with them?
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:14
			You have to get rid of them.
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:19
			Ilaha alwahida?
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:21
			But that's the meaning of la ilaha illallah.
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:42
			So whenever they are called to la ilaha
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:43
			illallah, they become arrogant.
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:57
			And they would say, shall we leave our
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:06
			aliha, our gods, small g, the sha'ir
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:14
			al-majnoon, for the sake of insane, possessed
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:16
			poet.
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:23
			Because they understood.
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:25
			And they knew the meaning of la ilaha
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:26
			illallah.
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:31
			And today, any Muslim, ask him, what's the
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:32
			meaning of la ilaha illallah?
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:35
			He tells you, la ilaha illallah, la ilaha
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:35
			illallah.
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:47
			MashaAllah, Abu Lahab, Abu Jahl, Waleed
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:49
			ibn al-Mughirah, they understood it better than
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:50
			you.
		
00:58:54 --> 00:58:55
			When the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam was
		
00:58:55 --> 00:59:00
			begging his uncle, when his uncle was breathing
		
00:59:00 --> 00:59:05
			his last, ya amma, say la ilaha illallah,
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:08
			kalimat al-muhajju laka biha andallah.
		
00:59:09 --> 00:59:14
			My dear uncle, say la ilaha illallah, a
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:20
			word that will enable me, entitle me, to
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:22
			intercede for you before Allah.
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:29
			Abu Jahl said, and those with him, Abd
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:30
			al-Muttalib, don't say it.
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:37
			Aragibun anta an millat Abd al-Muttalib, Abd
		
00:59:37 --> 00:59:40
			al-Muttalib, Abu Talib, they were telling Abu
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:46
			Talib, oh Abu Talib, are you shunning, are
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:50
			you deserting the religion of your father, Abd
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:50
			al-Muttalib?
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:54
			They knew the meaning of it.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:57
			The Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam repeated.
		
00:59:58 --> 01:00:01
			My uncle, say la ilaha illallah, they repeated.
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:06
			And finally, Abu Talib said, ana ala millati
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:08
			Abd al-Muttalib, and he died.
		
01:00:09 --> 01:00:12
			I am upon the religion of Abd al
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:13
			-Muttalib and he died.
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:24
			So Abu Jahl understood it, Abu Lahab understood
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:27
			it, when the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
01:00:27 --> 01:00:36
			called Quraish and he told them, if I
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:40
			tell you there is behind this mountain an
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:43
			army invading you, attacking you, will you believe
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:43
			me?
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:44
			They said yes.
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:47
			Said, I am Rasulullah to you.
		
01:00:48 --> 01:00:49
			Say la ilaha illallah.
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:54
			Abu Lahab said, what this you called us?
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:56
			May you perish.
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:59
			And you know, Allah sent down Surat al
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:00
			-Masajid.
		
01:01:06 --> 01:01:13
			This is the important to know its meaning
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:18
			and to instill it in your heart, fulfill
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:26
			its conditions, avoid its nullifiers, the things that
		
01:01:26 --> 01:01:29
			will nullify, will cancel it.
		
01:01:30 --> 01:01:33
			Number one is the shirk and number two
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:41
			is setting up intermediaries and to follow other
		
01:01:41 --> 01:01:43
			guidance than the divine guidance.
		
01:01:47 --> 01:01:49
			So it's not just lip service.
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:56
			La ilaha illallah, it transforms you.
		
01:01:57 --> 01:02:02
			La ilaha illallah transformed the Arabs from savage
		
01:02:02 --> 01:02:10
			tribes into civilized ones, from idol worshippers, from
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:17
			polytheists to bearers of light and guidance, to
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:24
			pious righteous people, the best of mankind after
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:25
			the prophets of Allah.
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:29
			This is what la ilaha illallah did to
		
01:02:29 --> 01:02:29
			them.
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:54
			This is the second part of the shahada.
		
01:02:55 --> 01:03:00
			He testified that Muhammad is Allah's servant and
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:01
			messenger.
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:08
			And these two words, Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:14
			sallam is abd and he is rasul, they
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:19
			balance our belief regarding the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:21
			wa sallam, who believed in him.
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:29
			We don't raise him to a higher status
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:33
			above the status which Allah appointed for him.
		
01:03:39 --> 01:03:45
			We don't go to extreme and ascribe an
		
01:03:45 --> 01:03:49
			attribute to him that he knows the unseen.
		
01:03:50 --> 01:03:51
			He knows everything.
		
01:03:54 --> 01:04:00
			He hears us so we can ask him
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:03
			now and call him when we need anything.
		
01:04:06 --> 01:04:08
			And this is what we hear when you
		
01:04:08 --> 01:04:09
			sit with the Sufis.
		
01:04:10 --> 01:04:11
			May Allah guide them.
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14
			Just a few days ago I saw a
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:16
			clip on the YouTube.
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:20
			One of the Sufis is saying this turban
		
01:04:20 --> 01:04:28
			of mine, this turban, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:30
			wa sallam faced it.
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:34
			He's saying between me, he is in the
		
01:04:34 --> 01:04:38
			21st century, he said between me and the
		
01:04:38 --> 01:04:41
			Prophet there is no one except my father.
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:43
			Allahu Akbar.
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:46
			So this is the highest Isnad on earth.
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:49
			This Isnad is higher than the Isnad of
		
01:04:49 --> 01:04:53
			Imam Malik, the Golden Chain, Silsila al-Zahariya,
		
01:04:54 --> 01:04:55
			Malik Nafi ibn Umar.
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:58
			But no, only one between him and the
		
01:04:58 --> 01:04:59
			Prophet.
		
01:05:02 --> 01:05:04
			So the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is
		
01:05:04 --> 01:05:07
			the one who gave them this turban because
		
01:05:07 --> 01:05:11
			the Sufis they believe that the Prophet sallallahu
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:13
			alaihi wa sallam, he comes from his grave
		
01:05:13 --> 01:05:18
			alive and he visits them and they see
		
01:05:18 --> 01:05:23
			him and he attends their dancing circles, not
		
01:05:23 --> 01:05:32
			circle, I call them dancing circles where you
		
01:05:32 --> 01:05:36
			find them dancing, jumping up and down like
		
01:05:36 --> 01:05:38
			the Christians, hallelujah, hallelujah.
		
01:05:45 --> 01:05:47
			And they're saying the Prophet came.
		
01:05:48 --> 01:05:51
			They will be sitting and all of a
		
01:05:51 --> 01:05:52
			sudden they will stand up.
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:54
			What happened?
		
01:05:55 --> 01:05:56
			The Prophet is coming.
		
01:05:58 --> 01:05:59
			The Prophet is entering.
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:01
			Where is he?
		
01:06:01 --> 01:06:02
			I can't see him.
		
01:06:02 --> 01:06:04
			Oh, you haven't reached.
		
01:06:06 --> 01:06:09
			You haven't reached the level we reach.
		
01:06:10 --> 01:06:11
			We are seeing him.
		
01:06:11 --> 01:06:14
			And some keep an empty chair for him.
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:16
			And they call this what?
		
01:06:16 --> 01:06:17
			Hadra.
		
01:06:17 --> 01:06:18
			Hadra.
		
01:06:18 --> 01:06:20
			The Prophet comes and attends.
		
01:06:21 --> 01:06:23
			The Prophet comes, yes.
		
01:06:25 --> 01:06:27
			To your dancing circles, yes.
		
01:06:30 --> 01:06:32
			And you see him with your own eyes,
		
01:06:32 --> 01:06:32
			yes.
		
01:06:34 --> 01:06:35
			So you are sahaba.
		
01:06:36 --> 01:06:37
			MashaAllah.
		
01:06:38 --> 01:06:38
			You are sahaba.
		
01:06:39 --> 01:06:39
			You are companions.
		
01:06:45 --> 01:06:46
			May Allah guide them.
		
01:06:48 --> 01:06:50
			See this nonsense?
		
01:06:51 --> 01:06:53
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam comes.
		
01:06:55 --> 01:07:00
			He leaves his grave and comes and attends
		
01:07:00 --> 01:07:07
			this nonsense, this bid'ah, these circles.
		
01:07:10 --> 01:07:15
			And he didn't come to stop the criminals
		
01:07:15 --> 01:07:19
			who were surrounding the house of to assassinate
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:19
			Uthman.
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:25
			So they've done some circles more important than
		
01:07:25 --> 01:07:28
			saving the bloodshed and saving the life of
		
01:07:28 --> 01:07:30
			his son-in-law Uthman.
		
01:07:31 --> 01:07:32
			Next to him.
		
01:07:34 --> 01:07:36
			He didn't come to stop Aisha from going
		
01:07:36 --> 01:07:37
			to Iraq.
		
01:07:46 --> 01:07:49
			He didn't come to stop his grandson Hussain
		
01:07:49 --> 01:07:51
			from going to Iraq.
		
01:07:57 --> 01:08:01
			And he comes to their circles.
		
01:08:05 --> 01:08:05
			There's another.
		
01:08:06 --> 01:08:09
			Those guys really, they don't have.
		
01:08:09 --> 01:08:10
			They are crazy.
		
01:08:13 --> 01:08:14
			They don't know what's coming of their heads.
		
01:08:15 --> 01:08:17
			Another one in the YouTube.
		
01:08:19 --> 01:08:21
			He was mentioning, he was lecturing, I think
		
01:08:21 --> 01:08:23
			in Indonesia.
		
01:08:28 --> 01:08:29
			And he mentioned this story.
		
01:08:29 --> 01:08:37
			He said, one of these Salihin, pious people,
		
01:08:38 --> 01:08:43
			went to Medina to visit the grave of
		
01:08:43 --> 01:08:44
			the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
01:08:44 --> 01:08:47
			Because that is what always they do.
		
01:08:49 --> 01:08:52
			And that's not sunnah, to go with the
		
01:08:52 --> 01:08:54
			intention to visit the grave.
		
01:08:55 --> 01:08:58
			Your intention should be to visit the masjid
		
01:08:58 --> 01:08:59
			of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
01:08:59 --> 01:09:04
			Anyway, to his surprise, guess what?
		
01:09:07 --> 01:09:12
			On the outskirts of Medina, who met him?
		
01:09:15 --> 01:09:17
			Fatima radiyallahu anhu.
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:20
			Also, Fatima came from her grave in Bakiya.
		
01:09:22 --> 01:09:23
			Fatima came.
		
01:09:23 --> 01:09:26
			And she is waiting for him on the
		
01:09:26 --> 01:09:27
			outskirts of Medina.
		
01:09:32 --> 01:09:37
			And she asked him, where are you going?
		
01:09:37 --> 01:09:38
			He said, I'm going to see your father.
		
01:09:39 --> 01:09:40
			MashaAllah.
		
01:09:41 --> 01:09:42
			He said, no, my father is not here.
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:46
			My father is in Hadramaut.
		
01:09:47 --> 01:09:47
			Where?
		
01:09:48 --> 01:09:52
			Hadramaut, southern part of Yemen.
		
01:09:54 --> 01:09:57
			The Prophet went to visit one of the
		
01:09:58 --> 01:09:59
			Awliya there.
		
01:10:05 --> 01:10:08
			I told you many times, I have in
		
01:10:08 --> 01:10:12
			my library a big collection of the books
		
01:10:12 --> 01:10:14
			of the Awliya.
		
01:10:14 --> 01:10:18
			And believe me, if you want to just
		
01:10:18 --> 01:10:27
			to laugh, okay, reading these books, especially the
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:35
			books on Karamat, Karamat of Awliya, there are
		
01:10:35 --> 01:10:37
			stories there I cannot mention.
		
01:10:38 --> 01:10:43
			So here, wa anna Muhammadan abduhu, so he
		
01:10:43 --> 01:10:43
			is abd.
		
01:10:45 --> 01:10:51
			So no ghulu, no extremism, and elevating him
		
01:10:51 --> 01:10:54
			above his status.
		
01:10:58 --> 01:11:00
			He is a servant of Allah.
		
01:11:03 --> 01:11:05
			He doesn't know the unseen.
		
01:11:05 --> 01:11:07
			He doesn't know the ghayb.
		
01:11:07 --> 01:11:09
			He cannot hear you.
		
01:11:13 --> 01:11:15
			And when you send salam upon the Prophet,
		
01:11:16 --> 01:11:17
			it is an angel.
		
01:11:18 --> 01:11:21
			Angel conveys the salam to him.
		
01:11:22 --> 01:11:24
			And Allah sends back the soul to the
		
01:11:24 --> 01:11:25
			body.
		
01:11:41 --> 01:11:42
			So he doesn't know the unseen.
		
01:11:46 --> 01:11:51
			He didn't know that Aisha was innocent when
		
01:11:51 --> 01:11:52
			she was accused.
		
01:11:53 --> 01:11:57
			He didn't know that the necklace was under
		
01:11:57 --> 01:11:58
			the camel.
		
01:12:01 --> 01:12:04
			He didn't know that the piece of meat
		
01:12:04 --> 01:12:08
			stuffed with poison by the Jews.
		
01:12:09 --> 01:12:11
			He didn't know that it was full of
		
01:12:11 --> 01:12:11
			poison.
		
01:12:11 --> 01:12:15
			So he had a bite and swallowed it.
		
01:12:16 --> 01:12:18
			Then Allah made the piece of meat to
		
01:12:18 --> 01:12:19
			talk.
		
01:12:19 --> 01:12:20
			He didn't know.
		
01:12:22 --> 01:12:27
			Wa anna Muhammadan salallahu alayhi wa sallam abduhu.
		
01:12:27 --> 01:12:29
			He is a servant of Allah.
		
01:12:30 --> 01:12:33
			But then for Rasulullah, to balance.
		
01:12:35 --> 01:12:37
			Don't think he's only a servant of Allah
		
01:12:37 --> 01:12:41
			and treat him like any other servant.
		
01:12:41 --> 01:12:43
			No, he's Rasulullah.
		
01:12:44 --> 01:12:49
			So we revering him, we revere him, we
		
01:12:49 --> 01:12:52
			respect him, we love him because he is
		
01:12:52 --> 01:12:55
			Rasulullah and we say we hear and we
		
01:12:55 --> 01:12:56
			obey.
		
01:12:57 --> 01:13:00
			So this is how you create the balance.
		
01:13:01 --> 01:13:04
			He's a servant of Allah, so no extremism,
		
01:13:04 --> 01:13:05
			no ghulu.
		
01:13:05 --> 01:13:08
			And he is Rasulullah, so you don't know
		
01:13:08 --> 01:13:12
			him, you don't treat him like any human
		
01:13:12 --> 01:13:12
			being.
		
01:13:14 --> 01:13:19
			Wa anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh.
		
01:13:22 --> 01:13:26
			Wa anna Aisha, Aisha alayhi salam, Jesus Christ,
		
01:13:26 --> 01:13:29
			son of Mary, abduhu wa rasuluh.
		
01:13:29 --> 01:13:36
			You believe that Aisha is Allah's servant.
		
01:13:40 --> 01:13:44
			He's not God, son of God, or one
		
01:13:44 --> 01:13:49
			of the members of the Holy Trinity, the
		
01:13:49 --> 01:13:51
			Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
		
01:13:53 --> 01:13:54
			He's Allah's servant.
		
01:13:58 --> 01:14:02
			But the Christians, out of their excessive love,
		
01:14:05 --> 01:14:07
			they raised him above the level of human
		
01:14:07 --> 01:14:08
			beings.
		
01:14:09 --> 01:14:11
			They said he's God, son of God.
		
01:14:12 --> 01:14:16
			And the bulk of Christendom, Christendom, they are
		
01:14:16 --> 01:14:20
			fooled by Saint Paul, who concocted for them
		
01:14:20 --> 01:14:24
			this doctrine of the Trinity, Trinity.
		
01:14:25 --> 01:14:27
			And that's why the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa
		
01:14:27 --> 01:14:32
			sallam, he said, la tatrooni kama attarat al
		
01:14:32 --> 01:14:35
			nasara Aisha ibn Maryam, illama ana abd wa
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:36
			qul abduhu wa rasuluh.
		
01:14:37 --> 01:14:41
			He said, do not exaggerate and overpraise me.
		
01:14:42 --> 01:14:43
			Okay?
		
01:14:44 --> 01:14:48
			Like the Christians did with Aisha alayhi salam.
		
01:14:50 --> 01:14:53
			I'm only servant of Allah and messenger of
		
01:14:53 --> 01:14:53
			Allah.
		
01:14:54 --> 01:14:56
			Wa anna Aisha abduhu wa rasuluh.
		
01:14:56 --> 01:15:00
			Aisha alayhi salam is Allah's servant, wa rasuluh,
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:03
			and one of the mightiest messengers.
		
01:15:05 --> 01:15:13
			He is his word, Allah's word that Allah
		
01:15:13 --> 01:15:23
			subhanahu wa ta'ala sent to Mary, and
		
01:15:23 --> 01:15:24
			that is the command.
		
01:15:26 --> 01:15:29
			Allah created Aisha by the command.
		
01:15:30 --> 01:15:31
			Be and he was.
		
01:15:33 --> 01:15:36
			And that's why Imam Ahmad said, inna Aisha
		
01:15:36 --> 01:15:38
			kana bikun wa lam yakunkun.
		
01:15:39 --> 01:15:45
			Aisha was by the word be, and he
		
01:15:45 --> 01:15:46
			was not the word be.
		
01:15:47 --> 01:15:53
			He was created by the word be, and
		
01:15:53 --> 01:16:00
			he was not the word be, because the
		
01:16:00 --> 01:16:02
			command is the action of Allah.
		
01:16:03 --> 01:16:06
			So Aisha was created like any other human
		
01:16:06 --> 01:16:07
			being.
		
01:16:16 --> 01:16:25
			So the likeness of the similitude of Jesus,
		
01:16:25 --> 01:16:29
			Aisha alayhi salam, is like the likeness of
		
01:16:29 --> 01:16:30
			Adam.
		
01:16:31 --> 01:16:34
			Khalaqahum min turab, Allah created him of earth.
		
01:16:38 --> 01:16:42
			Then he said to him, be and he
		
01:16:42 --> 01:16:42
			was.
		
01:16:43 --> 01:16:45
			So in the same way Allah created Adam,
		
01:16:45 --> 01:16:49
			he created Aisha alayhi salam.
		
01:16:52 --> 01:16:55
			So if the Christians are saying he's God
		
01:16:55 --> 01:16:58
			because he had no father, then by the
		
01:16:58 --> 01:17:02
			same token, Adam should be also God because
		
01:17:02 --> 01:17:06
			he neither had a father nor mother.
		
01:17:08 --> 01:17:12
			And he is a spirit from him, and
		
01:17:12 --> 01:17:14
			the Christians are using this to say he's
		
01:17:14 --> 01:17:17
			a spirit, he's from Allah, part of Allah.
		
01:17:20 --> 01:17:24
			Here, this spirit from him is one of
		
01:17:24 --> 01:17:27
			the spirits, one of the souls he created.
		
01:17:29 --> 01:17:33
			Doesn't mean he's part of Allah, but Allah
		
01:17:33 --> 01:17:38
			attributed to him the Ruh to himself for
		
01:17:38 --> 01:17:44
			giving honor to this created soul.
		
01:17:45 --> 01:17:52
			Like we say, Baytullah, Naqatullah, the house of
		
01:17:52 --> 01:18:00
			Allah, the Kaaba, okay, the she-camel of
		
01:18:00 --> 01:18:00
			Allah.
		
01:18:01 --> 01:18:02
			Allah attributed this.
		
01:18:04 --> 01:18:09
			Allah, he made the things that in the
		
01:18:09 --> 01:18:12
			heavens and the earth for you, from him,
		
01:18:13 --> 01:18:16
			and the mountains and everything from Allah, part
		
01:18:16 --> 01:18:16
			of Allah.
		
01:18:17 --> 01:18:21
			They are created as a gift and blessing
		
01:18:21 --> 01:18:23
			from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
01:18:24 --> 01:18:26
			And I explained to you in many talks
		
01:18:26 --> 01:18:31
			the meaning of or the different types of
		
01:18:31 --> 01:18:32
			what we attribute to Allah.
		
01:18:34 --> 01:18:37
			I doubt that you are revising your notes.
		
01:18:37 --> 01:18:46
			Anyway, what is attributed to Allah, it can
		
01:18:46 --> 01:18:56
			be something material, physical, entity, exists
		
01:18:56 --> 01:19:01
			in its own, like the Kaaba, house of
		
01:19:01 --> 01:19:04
			Allah, this is physical entity.
		
01:19:05 --> 01:19:09
			And then we say Baytullah, attributed to Allah.
		
01:19:10 --> 01:19:14
			So this we call it Izaafatu Tashreef, this
		
01:19:14 --> 01:19:19
			type of attributing to get the honor and
		
01:19:19 --> 01:19:23
			giving honor to that house, the body, the
		
01:19:23 --> 01:19:24
			Kaaba.
		
01:19:27 --> 01:19:34
			Naqatullah, the she-camel, another physical entity, attributed
		
01:19:34 --> 01:19:38
			to Allah for the same reason, that this
		
01:19:38 --> 01:19:42
			camel should be respected, it should not be
		
01:19:42 --> 01:19:44
			harmed, should not be killed.
		
01:19:46 --> 01:19:48
			So this one type of what we attribute
		
01:19:48 --> 01:19:49
			to Allah.
		
01:19:49 --> 01:19:52
			Another type of what we attribute to Allah,
		
01:19:53 --> 01:19:58
			also it is something physical, something material, but
		
01:19:58 --> 01:20:02
			does not exist or stand in its own.
		
01:20:03 --> 01:20:09
			It is material, it is something physical, but
		
01:20:09 --> 01:20:15
			it needs to exist in something else.
		
01:20:16 --> 01:20:19
			It needs to be carried by something else,
		
01:20:21 --> 01:20:24
			and that is the ruh, the soul.
		
01:20:25 --> 01:20:28
			The soul you have in the body is
		
01:20:28 --> 01:20:33
			something material, that's why when you are dying,
		
01:20:34 --> 01:20:37
			the angel of death takes it and pulls
		
01:20:37 --> 01:20:45
			it and communicates with it, and it flows
		
01:20:45 --> 01:20:50
			the soul of the mu'min easily, and when
		
01:20:50 --> 01:20:54
			it comes out, it is wrapped in the
		
01:20:54 --> 01:20:54
			shroud.
		
01:20:55 --> 01:21:01
			Then carried by the angels to the Jannah,
		
01:21:01 --> 01:21:07
			then the soul will be put into the
		
01:21:07 --> 01:21:08
			bodies of birds.
		
01:21:10 --> 01:21:12
			So the soul is carried all the time
		
01:21:12 --> 01:21:14
			in the dunya, in the body.
		
01:21:16 --> 01:21:18
			When it comes out by the angels in
		
01:21:18 --> 01:21:21
			the Jannah by the birds, then the angels
		
01:21:21 --> 01:21:23
			take it back to the on the day
		
01:21:23 --> 01:21:27
			of resurrection, puts it in the body, and
		
01:21:27 --> 01:21:30
			carries with the body again.
		
01:21:33 --> 01:21:36
			So this is the second type, something material,
		
01:21:36 --> 01:21:39
			but it has to exist in something else.
		
01:21:40 --> 01:21:44
			And the reason the same like the house
		
01:21:44 --> 01:21:47
			of Allah, just to attribute honor and give
		
01:21:47 --> 01:21:48
			honor to this soul.
		
01:21:49 --> 01:21:54
			The third type, that what you attribute to
		
01:21:54 --> 01:22:01
			Allah, is not something physical, tangible, material.
		
01:22:02 --> 01:22:04
			It is something abstract.
		
01:22:06 --> 01:22:08
			It's a meaning, abstract.
		
01:22:11 --> 01:22:16
			Here, if it is abstract and attributed to
		
01:22:16 --> 01:22:20
			Allah, then it is an attribute of Allah.
		
01:22:21 --> 01:22:26
			For example, Allah's knowledge.
		
01:22:27 --> 01:22:33
			Okay, so this is an attribute of Allah,
		
01:22:36 --> 01:22:39
			because knowledge is not something tangible.
		
01:22:42 --> 01:22:43
			And the rest of the attributes of Allah,
		
01:22:47 --> 01:22:47
			okay?
		
01:22:51 --> 01:22:59
			So if what is attributed is something abstract,
		
01:22:59 --> 01:23:04
			something not material, then it is an attribute
		
01:23:04 --> 01:23:04
			of Allah.
		
01:23:10 --> 01:23:14
			So don't think that part, and you might
		
01:23:14 --> 01:23:19
			hear, I heard it from one of the
		
01:23:19 --> 01:23:21
			reverts, okay?
		
01:23:22 --> 01:23:26
			He is BHD holder, talking that we have
		
01:23:26 --> 01:23:32
			part of the divine in us, thinking that
		
01:23:32 --> 01:23:35
			the soul is part of Allah.
		
01:23:41 --> 01:23:46
			And you believe that Jannah, paradise, is true.
		
01:23:47 --> 01:23:50
			It created, exists.
		
01:23:50 --> 01:23:53
			The Prophet walked in it, saw it, saw
		
01:23:53 --> 01:23:56
			its rivers, saw its palaces, etc.
		
01:23:57 --> 01:24:01
			When now created, created.
		
01:24:09 --> 01:24:15
			So the Jannah already prepared and surrounded with
		
01:24:15 --> 01:24:20
			hardships, and the hellfire already created, surrounded with
		
01:24:20 --> 01:24:24
			hardships, with the temptations, desires.
		
01:24:25 --> 01:24:29
			And Jibreel saw both of them.
		
01:24:31 --> 01:24:33
			So you believe in the Jannah, that it
		
01:24:33 --> 01:24:34
			exists.
		
01:24:36 --> 01:24:39
			When not exists, it is a reality.
		
01:24:40 --> 01:24:43
			It's not something metaphoric, no.
		
01:24:43 --> 01:24:44
			It's a reality.
		
01:24:46 --> 01:24:51
			The hellfire will be dragged, pulled on the
		
01:24:51 --> 01:24:52
			Day of Resurrection.
		
01:24:53 --> 01:24:55
			Angels are dragging it.
		
01:24:56 --> 01:24:58
			There are 70,000 handholds.
		
01:24:59 --> 01:25:03
			Every handhold, 70,000 angels grabbing it.
		
01:25:04 --> 01:25:05
			Do the arithmetic.
		
01:25:06 --> 01:25:08
			70,000 times 70,000.
		
01:25:12 --> 01:25:14
			Until they face it under the Sirat.
		
01:25:18 --> 01:25:20
			When now it is true.
		
01:25:22 --> 01:25:29
			If you believe in this, four mentions, then
		
01:25:29 --> 01:25:33
			Allah will grant him or her the Jannah.
		
01:25:37 --> 01:25:40
			irrespective of his deeds or her deeds.
		
01:25:42 --> 01:25:45
			Either he will enter the Jannah from the
		
01:25:45 --> 01:25:52
			beginning or ultimately, after being purified and punished
		
01:25:52 --> 01:25:54
			in the hellfire, may Allah make us among
		
01:25:54 --> 01:25:56
			those who will enter the Jannah from the
		
01:25:56 --> 01:25:59
			beginning by his grace.
		
01:25:59 --> 01:25:59
			Ameen.
		
01:26:01 --> 01:26:04
			So this brings us to the end of
		
01:26:04 --> 01:26:06
			our talk for today.
		
01:26:07 --> 01:26:11
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive us
		
01:26:11 --> 01:26:14
			our faults and mistakes and ignorance and may
		
01:26:14 --> 01:26:16
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us remain
		
01:26:16 --> 01:26:21
			steadfast on this beautiful deed until we meet
		
01:26:21 --> 01:26:26
			him and find him pleased with all of
		
01:26:26 --> 01:26:26
			us.
		
01:26:26 --> 01:26:26
			Ameen.
		
01:26:27 --> 01:26:30
			May Allah bless us with the beneficial knowledge
		
01:26:30 --> 01:26:35
			Allah just needs and may Allah guide our
		
01:26:35 --> 01:26:37
			Ummah and may Allah unite the heart of
		
01:26:37 --> 01:26:38
			our Ummah upon the Haqq.
		
01:26:39 --> 01:26:40
			Ameen.
		
01:26:40 --> 01:26:42
			And may Allah reward all of you, my
		
01:26:42 --> 01:26:46
			dear brothers and sisters, immensely for your patience
		
01:26:46 --> 01:26:47
			and attendance.
		
01:27:08 --> 01:27:11
			The admin is absent at the moment.
		
01:30:38 --> 01:32:36
			Can you
		
01:32:36 --> 01:32:36
			hear me?
		
01:32:38 --> 01:32:39
			Yes, go ahead.
		
01:32:40 --> 01:32:41
			Okay.
		
01:33:13 --> 01:33:20
			Okay, question says, is asking actually about the
		
01:33:20 --> 01:33:25
			Hadith in Sunan Abu Dawood, it's authentic, that
		
01:33:25 --> 01:33:28
			the Prophet ﷺ, he visited the Masjid of
		
01:33:28 --> 01:33:34
			Quba and the Ansar came to the Masjid
		
01:33:34 --> 01:33:36
			and they were giving Salam and he was
		
01:33:36 --> 01:33:37
			in the Salah.
		
01:33:38 --> 01:33:40
			So he used to raise his hands like
		
01:33:40 --> 01:33:41
			this.
		
01:33:43 --> 01:33:47
			Okay, so this is how you answer in
		
01:33:47 --> 01:33:48
			the Salah.
		
01:33:48 --> 01:33:51
			If someone gives the Salam and it is
		
01:33:51 --> 01:33:53
			Sunnah, it is Sunnah.
		
01:33:54 --> 01:33:57
			This is how you answer and reply the
		
01:33:57 --> 01:33:57
			Salam.
		
01:33:58 --> 01:34:08
			Second question says, how
		
01:34:08 --> 01:34:12
			about the one who is Tariq, the Salah,
		
01:34:12 --> 01:34:16
			who doesn't pray, if he died without performing
		
01:34:16 --> 01:34:20
			Salah, is he going to remain in the
		
01:34:20 --> 01:34:25
			hellfire and as the one who died in
		
01:34:25 --> 01:34:25
			shirk?
		
01:34:26 --> 01:34:30
			Well, as you know, this issue is controversial
		
01:34:30 --> 01:34:32
			between Muslim scholars.
		
01:34:34 --> 01:34:40
			Okay, if he denies the obligation of the
		
01:34:40 --> 01:34:44
			Salah, he doesn't, he says, I don't believe
		
01:34:44 --> 01:34:45
			in the Salah.
		
01:34:47 --> 01:34:52
			Okay, I can do my work out, I
		
01:34:52 --> 01:34:54
			can do my exercise, enough for me.
		
01:34:55 --> 01:34:57
			There's no doubt, he's a Kafir, he's not
		
01:34:57 --> 01:34:58
			a Muslim.
		
01:34:59 --> 01:35:02
			But if he believes that he has to
		
01:35:02 --> 01:35:05
			pray, this is what the Ulema, and he
		
01:35:05 --> 01:35:08
			doesn't pray out of laziness, laziness.
		
01:35:10 --> 01:35:12
			And sometimes he prays, sometimes he skips.
		
01:35:16 --> 01:35:25
			Okay, the Sahaba, there's consensus, they
		
01:35:25 --> 01:35:30
			didn't consider anything as major kufr and shirk,
		
01:35:30 --> 01:35:32
			except the Salah, if someone leaves the Salah.
		
01:35:33 --> 01:35:37
			And Imam Ahmad holds this opinion, the humbly
		
01:35:37 --> 01:35:37
			school.
		
01:35:39 --> 01:35:43
			The other three schools, they differentiate between someone
		
01:35:43 --> 01:35:48
			who believes that the Salah is obligatory, but
		
01:35:48 --> 01:35:51
			he leaves some Salawat out of laziness.
		
01:35:53 --> 01:35:57
			They're saying he is Kafir, which is the
		
01:35:57 --> 01:35:59
			minor kufr, not the major kufr.
		
01:36:01 --> 01:36:05
			In other words, when he dies, this particular
		
01:36:05 --> 01:36:10
			person, he will be given the burial watch
		
01:36:10 --> 01:36:14
			and treated as a Muslim, and it's up
		
01:36:14 --> 01:36:14
			to Allah.
		
01:36:19 --> 01:36:21
			He says something beautiful.
		
01:36:23 --> 01:36:26
			He said, of course, in Islam, if someone
		
01:36:26 --> 01:36:30
			doesn't pray, he should be forced to pray,
		
01:36:30 --> 01:36:32
			forced by the ruler.
		
01:36:34 --> 01:36:37
			Okay, he should be called and asked to
		
01:36:37 --> 01:36:37
			pray.
		
01:36:38 --> 01:36:41
			If he refused, he said, I will not
		
01:36:41 --> 01:36:41
			pray.
		
01:36:47 --> 01:36:50
			So here, this will show that he doesn't
		
01:36:50 --> 01:36:51
			believe in the Salah.
		
01:36:52 --> 01:36:55
			Shaykh al-Islam ibn Shaykh said, we will
		
01:36:55 --> 01:37:00
			expose him and show him, subject him to
		
01:37:00 --> 01:37:02
			the sword.
		
01:37:02 --> 01:37:05
			We show him the sword in front of
		
01:37:05 --> 01:37:05
			him.
		
01:37:05 --> 01:37:08
			Are you going to pray or we were
		
01:37:08 --> 01:37:09
			going to strike your neck?
		
01:37:10 --> 01:37:13
			If he says, strike my neck, I will
		
01:37:13 --> 01:37:14
			not pray.
		
01:37:14 --> 01:37:18
			This is clear-cut evidence that he is
		
01:37:18 --> 01:37:19
			not a Muslim.
		
01:37:21 --> 01:37:23
			At least he will pray out of fear.
		
01:37:25 --> 01:37:28
			So the one who doesn't pray has to
		
01:37:28 --> 01:37:30
			pray.
		
01:37:30 --> 01:37:35
			That's why we have to teach our children
		
01:37:35 --> 01:37:37
			to start praying from the age of seven.
		
01:37:39 --> 01:37:42
			If someone's wife doesn't pray, he should not
		
01:37:42 --> 01:37:43
			continue living with her.
		
01:37:45 --> 01:37:48
			Or if her husband doesn't pray, he should
		
01:37:48 --> 01:37:49
			not continue living with him.
		
01:37:51 --> 01:37:56
			Okay, she has to make it clear to
		
01:37:56 --> 01:37:57
			him.
		
01:37:58 --> 01:38:01
			Are you going to pray or not?
		
01:38:01 --> 01:38:01
			We say goodbye.
		
01:38:07 --> 01:38:16
			Another question says, does shirk
		
01:38:16 --> 01:38:21
			of relying on other than Allah means that
		
01:38:21 --> 01:38:23
			you only rely on Allah and not on
		
01:38:23 --> 01:38:27
			people and not even ourselves?
		
01:38:29 --> 01:38:34
			Relying here, you rely, first of all, your
		
01:38:34 --> 01:38:35
			heart.
		
01:38:35 --> 01:38:41
			The heart should only rely on Allah and
		
01:38:41 --> 01:38:42
			count on Allah.
		
01:38:46 --> 01:38:50
			People are means, tools.
		
01:38:55 --> 01:38:58
			The head of the family is the bread
		
01:38:58 --> 01:39:01
			gainer, but he's not the provider.
		
01:39:04 --> 01:39:07
			So the children and the mother should not
		
01:39:07 --> 01:39:11
			consider the father their provider.
		
01:39:11 --> 01:39:13
			He's only a tool.
		
01:39:14 --> 01:39:16
			So they should have their trust in Allah
		
01:39:16 --> 01:39:18
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
01:39:23 --> 01:39:29
			So first you rely on Allah, then it
		
01:39:29 --> 01:39:33
			means that Allah himself made it a means.
		
01:39:34 --> 01:39:37
			For example, you will say to your husband,
		
01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
			we are relying on Allah and then on
		
01:39:42 --> 01:39:42
			you.
		
01:39:43 --> 01:39:47
			No problem, because you are only a tool
		
01:39:47 --> 01:39:48
			and a means.
		
01:39:49 --> 01:39:52
			But you don't say, I rely on you.
		
01:39:53 --> 01:39:57
			No, I rely on Allah, then on you.
		
01:39:57 --> 01:39:59
			And this is going to come in this
		
01:39:59 --> 01:40:03
			beautiful book we are learning and studying together.
		
01:40:08 --> 01:40:12
			The same thing, I should not rely on
		
01:40:12 --> 01:40:19
			my intelligence, my physique, well-being.
		
01:40:19 --> 01:40:28
			I rely on Allah because this body, this
		
01:40:28 --> 01:40:37
			talent I have, without Allah's help, they are
		
01:40:37 --> 01:40:40
			useless.
		
01:40:41 --> 01:40:44
			I cannot raise my hand with Allah's help.
		
01:40:48 --> 01:40:53
			So that's why we should always rely on
		
01:40:53 --> 01:40:53
			Allah.
		
01:40:54 --> 01:40:56
			And the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
		
01:40:56 --> 01:40:59
			used to teach the Sahaba not to ask
		
01:40:59 --> 01:41:00
			the people anything.
		
01:41:02 --> 01:41:06
			Even if one of them, his shoelace, the
		
01:41:06 --> 01:41:11
			shoelace got cut, he would raise his hand
		
01:41:11 --> 01:41:13
			and say, oh Allah, help me to fix
		
01:41:13 --> 01:41:14
			my shoelace.
		
01:41:19 --> 01:41:19
			Subhanallah.
		
01:41:22 --> 01:41:23
			That is the tawakkul.
		
01:41:23 --> 01:41:25
			Tawakkul on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
01:41:25 --> 01:41:27
			Everything is in Allah's hand.
		
01:41:33 --> 01:41:34
			Other things are only causes.
		
01:41:34 --> 01:41:40
			So we don't rely on the causes and
		
01:41:40 --> 01:41:44
			leave the one who's behind all these causes,
		
01:41:45 --> 01:41:46
			the asbab.
		
01:41:49 --> 01:41:53
			We rely on Rabb al-asbab, the creation
		
01:41:53 --> 01:41:54
			of all the causes.
		
01:41:56 --> 01:41:58
			I hope this was clear to the questioner.
		
01:42:01 --> 01:42:09
			Another question says, can you elaborate on the
		
01:42:09 --> 01:42:18
			use of branding with fire that affects the
		
01:42:18 --> 01:42:20
			person from the 70,000?
		
01:42:20 --> 01:42:24
			Yes, this is what we call al-qayy,
		
01:42:25 --> 01:42:28
			al-qayy, the cauterization.
		
01:42:29 --> 01:42:32
			And some of the contemporary scholars, they consider
		
01:42:32 --> 01:42:36
			the laser falls under that because with laser,
		
01:42:37 --> 01:42:39
			they also can cauterize.
		
01:42:40 --> 01:42:41
			It's not haram.
		
01:42:42 --> 01:42:43
			You have to understand.
		
01:42:44 --> 01:42:45
			It's not haram.
		
01:42:45 --> 01:42:47
			The Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam said, al
		
01:42:47 --> 01:42:50
			-shifa fi salat, the cure, the remedy, in
		
01:42:50 --> 01:42:51
			three things.
		
01:42:51 --> 01:43:01
			Honey, the cauterization, al-qayy, and the
		
01:43:01 --> 01:43:07
			cure, the ruqya, the Quran, spiritual cure.
		
01:43:08 --> 01:43:09
			So it's not.
		
01:43:10 --> 01:43:11
			It's not haram.
		
01:43:12 --> 01:43:15
			And he mentioned the hijama, the covering, the
		
01:43:15 --> 01:43:16
			covering.
		
01:43:18 --> 01:43:21
			So it's not haram, the cauterization.
		
01:43:23 --> 01:43:25
			But if you want to be from the
		
01:43:25 --> 01:43:29
			70,000, yes, you should not do that.
		
01:43:32 --> 01:43:34
			I hope this is clear to the questioner.
		
01:43:34 --> 01:43:35
			Next question, please.
		
01:43:47 --> 01:43:50
			What's the difference between good omen and bad
		
01:43:50 --> 01:43:50
			omen?
		
01:43:52 --> 01:43:55
			The good omen, it is what we call
		
01:43:55 --> 01:43:58
			al-fa'il al-hassan, al-fa'il,
		
01:43:59 --> 01:44:00
			to be optimistic.
		
01:44:02 --> 01:44:03
			To be optimistic.
		
01:44:04 --> 01:44:08
			And this is what the deen approves of,
		
01:44:09 --> 01:44:11
			that we have to be optimistic all the
		
01:44:11 --> 01:44:12
			time.
		
01:44:13 --> 01:44:14
			Okay?
		
01:44:17 --> 01:44:20
			Because this means that when you are optimistic,
		
01:44:20 --> 01:44:25
			you are thinking good of what Allah will
		
01:44:25 --> 01:44:26
			do, inshallah.
		
01:44:28 --> 01:44:36
			That's why in the, you know, the Treaty
		
01:44:36 --> 01:44:41
			of Al-Hudaybiyah, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
01:44:41 --> 01:44:43
			wa sallam went to Mecca for Umrah, and
		
01:44:43 --> 01:44:48
			Quraysh stopped them, and finally there were negotiations
		
01:44:48 --> 01:44:52
			going on, and finally they agreed that this
		
01:44:52 --> 01:44:54
			year they will not perform Umrah, they will
		
01:44:54 --> 01:44:55
			come next year.
		
01:44:57 --> 01:45:01
			Quraysh first sent to the first negotiator, and
		
01:45:01 --> 01:45:08
			he was not skillful and diplomatic, so the
		
01:45:08 --> 01:45:10
			discussion reached dead end.
		
01:45:12 --> 01:45:14
			So Quraysh sent another, they sent Suhail ibn
		
01:45:14 --> 01:45:15
			Amr.
		
01:45:16 --> 01:45:17
			Suhail ibn Amr.
		
01:45:19 --> 01:45:21
			Suhail means easy, his name, easy.
		
01:45:23 --> 01:45:25
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he
		
01:45:25 --> 01:45:33
			saw Suhail coming, he said, the situation will
		
01:45:33 --> 01:45:37
			be eased, because his name is Suhail.
		
01:45:38 --> 01:45:43
			This is an example for the good omen,
		
01:45:45 --> 01:45:47
			okay, so you become optimistic.
		
01:45:49 --> 01:45:53
			The bad omens, and the bad omens, they
		
01:45:53 --> 01:45:55
			exist in almost every community.
		
01:45:57 --> 01:46:04
			People are superstitious, okay, so for example, if
		
01:46:04 --> 01:46:07
			they see a dog howling, oh my god,
		
01:46:07 --> 01:46:09
			something is going to happen, somebody is going
		
01:46:09 --> 01:46:14
			to die, or the owl, if that bird
		
01:46:14 --> 01:46:21
			lands on someone's house, bad omen, okay.
		
01:46:22 --> 01:46:25
			If a nerve is flickering in your eye,
		
01:46:26 --> 01:46:26
			bad omen.
		
01:46:29 --> 01:46:36
			The Arabs, before Islam, when one wants to
		
01:46:36 --> 01:46:39
			travel, he would take the bird like a
		
01:46:39 --> 01:46:43
			falcon, and let it go fly, and then
		
01:46:43 --> 01:46:44
			he will wait.
		
01:46:45 --> 01:46:48
			If the bird flies to the right, go
		
01:46:48 --> 01:46:55
			to the right direction, this is a good
		
01:46:55 --> 01:46:55
			omen.
		
01:46:56 --> 01:46:58
			If the wind was blowing in the other
		
01:46:58 --> 01:47:02
			direction, and the bird flew in towards the
		
01:47:02 --> 01:47:07
			left, oh, this is a bad omen, etc.
		
01:47:08 --> 01:47:12
			And many people, they believe in bad omens.
		
01:47:12 --> 01:47:14
			For example, you get up in the morning,
		
01:47:14 --> 01:47:19
			you want to go to to work, you
		
01:47:19 --> 01:47:26
			started the car, the car didn't start, the
		
01:47:26 --> 01:47:30
			battery is dead, you replace the battery, now
		
01:47:30 --> 01:47:35
			the car started, you want to move, one
		
01:47:35 --> 01:47:38
			of the four tires is flat, so you
		
01:47:38 --> 01:47:40
			start to say, oh my god, this is
		
01:47:40 --> 01:47:41
			a bad day.
		
01:47:41 --> 01:47:45
			Oh no, it's another bad day.
		
01:47:46 --> 01:47:50
			Don't believe in bad omens, okay.
		
01:47:51 --> 01:47:54
			The car, the battery of the car became
		
01:47:54 --> 01:47:57
			dead because you were, you are a negligent
		
01:47:57 --> 01:47:59
			person, you don't take care of your car
		
01:47:59 --> 01:48:02
			and check your car periodically.
		
01:48:03 --> 01:48:06
			The same thing, you don't check the air
		
01:48:06 --> 01:48:09
			in the in the tires of your car.
		
01:48:11 --> 01:48:13
			Fix your tire and go to your to
		
01:48:13 --> 01:48:13
			work.
		
01:48:14 --> 01:48:16
			I hope this is clear to the questioner.
		
01:48:59 --> 01:49:04
			This issue, the question about * those men
		
01:49:04 --> 01:49:08
			who raped the girl, it is the qadi
		
01:49:08 --> 01:49:12
			who will decide what punishment for them, okay,
		
01:49:15 --> 01:49:17
			what punishment to receive.
		
01:49:17 --> 01:49:25
			I know a case, one *, a labor
		
01:49:25 --> 01:49:31
			girl, and he was caught and he was
		
01:49:31 --> 01:49:31
			executed.
		
01:49:32 --> 01:49:33
			The punishment, he was killed.
		
01:49:34 --> 01:49:37
			Though his family came to the family of
		
01:49:37 --> 01:49:39
			the girl, said our son is going to
		
01:49:39 --> 01:49:41
			marry her, they wanted to save the life
		
01:49:41 --> 01:49:44
			of their son, the family of the girl
		
01:49:44 --> 01:49:44
			refused.
		
01:49:46 --> 01:49:50
			So the punishment can be capital punishment, okay,
		
01:49:50 --> 01:49:54
			and this is the Muslim judge and qadi
		
01:49:54 --> 01:49:54
			would decide.
		
01:49:57 --> 01:50:06
			Another question says, some people
		
01:50:06 --> 01:50:10
			kiss their hands when they hear or say
		
01:50:10 --> 01:50:11
			the name of the prophet.
		
01:50:13 --> 01:50:17
			And especially sometimes in the adhan, and this
		
01:50:17 --> 01:50:20
			is in the subcontinent, they do like this,
		
01:50:24 --> 01:50:24
			okay.
		
01:50:24 --> 01:50:29
			So this is bid'ah, and this is
		
01:50:29 --> 01:50:32
			based on a fabricated hadith, fabricated hadith, there's
		
01:50:32 --> 01:50:33
			a hadith fabricated.
		
01:50:35 --> 01:50:36
			That's the reason.
		
01:50:38 --> 01:50:38
			Next.
		
01:50:42 --> 01:50:43
			As-salamu alaykum, Sheikh.
		
01:50:44 --> 01:50:48
			The next question is, is it permissible to
		
01:50:48 --> 01:50:50
			rely on one's abilities or one should solely
		
01:50:50 --> 01:50:51
			rely on Allah?
		
01:50:52 --> 01:50:55
			I answered that question, okay, I answered it.
		
01:50:55 --> 01:50:57
			Um, then this was the.
		
01:50:59 --> 01:51:02
			Ah, okay, this is another question, part of
		
01:51:02 --> 01:51:03
			it was mentioned before.
		
01:51:03 --> 01:51:06
			Anyway, is it permissible to rely on one's
		
01:51:06 --> 01:51:09
			ability or should one rely on Allah?
		
01:51:09 --> 01:51:11
			Of course on Allah, what is your ability?
		
01:51:12 --> 01:51:15
			I mentioned that I cannot raise my hand,
		
01:51:15 --> 01:51:16
			you see, without Allah.
		
01:51:17 --> 01:51:18
			Help.
		
01:51:20 --> 01:51:21
			I cannot raise it.
		
01:51:22 --> 01:51:24
			Who, now what do I need to raise
		
01:51:24 --> 01:51:25
			my hand?
		
01:51:26 --> 01:51:28
			I need will, I need strength in the
		
01:51:28 --> 01:51:34
			muscles, I need time, I need place.
		
01:51:34 --> 01:51:36
			Who created all these things?
		
01:51:36 --> 01:51:36
			Allah.
		
01:51:38 --> 01:51:41
			So I cannot function without Allah.
		
01:51:44 --> 01:51:46
			I cannot function without Allah.
		
01:51:46 --> 01:51:48
			So I rely all the time on my
		
01:51:48 --> 01:51:48
			Lord.
		
01:51:49 --> 01:51:52
			But this doesn't mean I don't do my
		
01:51:52 --> 01:51:56
			homework, doesn't mean I don't prepare myself, it
		
01:51:56 --> 01:51:59
			doesn't mean I don't revise and study hard
		
01:51:59 --> 01:52:01
			for my exam.
		
01:52:01 --> 01:52:05
			But I do all these things, but my
		
01:52:05 --> 01:52:09
			heart is relying on Allah and seeking His
		
01:52:09 --> 01:52:11
			help, always seeking Allah's help.
		
01:52:13 --> 01:52:14
			Don't you know?
		
01:52:14 --> 01:52:18
			You might revise and work hard and answer
		
01:52:18 --> 01:52:25
			all the exam questions you came across and
		
01:52:25 --> 01:52:30
			you go to the exam hall, I will
		
01:52:30 --> 01:52:34
			ace A, and they give you the paper
		
01:52:34 --> 01:52:38
			and you go blackout, you don't see anything
		
01:52:38 --> 01:52:40
			and you don't know what to do.
		
01:52:41 --> 01:52:41
			Why?
		
01:52:41 --> 01:52:46
			Because you were having this self-conceit, relying
		
01:52:46 --> 01:52:50
			on you, yourself, and you forgot that you,
		
01:52:50 --> 01:52:52
			without Allah's help, you are nothing.
		
01:52:52 --> 01:52:54
			You are nothing.
		
01:52:55 --> 01:52:58
			So always count and rely on your Lord
		
01:53:00 --> 01:53:04
			and do what you are supposed to do.
		
01:53:05 --> 01:53:10
			When the man asked the Prophet shall I
		
01:53:10 --> 01:53:13
			tie the camel or rely on Allah?
		
01:53:15 --> 01:53:19
			He told him tie the camel, tie the
		
01:53:19 --> 01:53:21
			camel, then rely on Allah.
		
01:53:23 --> 01:53:26
			Don't say I rely on Allah and you
		
01:53:26 --> 01:53:28
			let your camel loose, it will go.
		
01:53:31 --> 01:53:32
			Okay, I hope this is clear.
		
01:53:32 --> 01:53:33
			Next.
		
01:53:36 --> 01:53:39
			Brother Ali, you can come on to the
		
01:53:39 --> 01:53:40
			mic inshallah.
		
01:53:56 --> 01:53:58
			Brother Ali, do you want to ask your
		
01:53:58 --> 01:53:59
			question?
		
01:54:04 --> 01:54:05
			I think I like it.
		
01:54:06 --> 01:54:07
			Next question please.
		
01:54:08 --> 01:54:09
			Inshallah, we will conclude there.
		
01:54:09 --> 01:54:10
			That was the final question.
		
01:54:11 --> 01:54:14
			May Allah accept everyone's attendance and the lesson
		
01:54:14 --> 01:54:18
			from the Sheikh and may Allah gather us
		
01:54:18 --> 01:54:20
			in the Jannah for those.
		
01:54:23 --> 01:54:30
			May Allah bless all of you, may Allah
		
01:54:30 --> 01:54:34
			protect you, protect your family.
		
01:54:34 --> 01:54:37
			May Allah elevate your status in this world.
		
01:54:38 --> 01:54:42
			Until we meet inshallah in the coming session,
		
01:54:42 --> 01:54:46
			I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
