As-salāmu alaykum.
Wa alaykum as-salāmu wa raḥmatu Llāhi wa
barakātuh.
How are you Shaykh?
Al-ḥamdu liLlāhi wa raḥmatu liLlāhi.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāhi.
Inshā'Allah we're going to start here with
the lesson.
Al-ḥamdu liLlāhi wa raḥmatu liLlāhi wa barakātuh.
Dear respected students, may Allah bless you all
for your attendance.
Today we are covering the virtues of Islam
by Muhammad bin Abdullah ibn Rahman Ali.
this is episode 20 or lesson 90.
Quick reminder, please take notes, listen attentively and
hand your questions over to me throughout the
course of the lesson.
With that said, I'll hand it back to
the Sheikh to start the class.
BarakAllahu feekum.
As-salamu alaikum.
Behold, this article
to catch attention, to draw the attention of
the audience.
Behold, the posterity of my fathers, that is,
so and so, are not my friends.
Verily, Allah and the pious believers are my
friends.
So, he and this hadith, the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam is telling what is the
real bond of brotherhood.
So, he is telling the Muslim, the sahaba,
ala inna al-abi, the posterity of my
fathers.
And then he mentioned, are not my friends,
are not my awliya, they are not my
intimate friends and close friends.
Because the wali is the one who is
very close to you.
And that's why the pious people are called
Allah's friends or Allah's awliya because they are
close, they are growing closer to him.
So, who are the ones that are closer
to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
The believers.
And this is the essence of the brotherhood
in Islam.
The essence of brotherhood in Islam is based
on faith, on the religion, on the deen.
Not on blood ties, not on blood ties.
When we read the seerah, we see examples
that depict and portray the meaning of
brotherhood in Islam.
The father is a non-Muslim fighting the
Muslims.
And his son is a Muslim on the
side of the Muslims, with the Muslims.
And now the father is facing his own
son.
Because the fatherly relation and feelings is not
there anymore.
Because now everyone is fighting for what he
believes in.
So, the real brotherhood is based on the
faith.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying, you
will never find from among the believers, people
who love those who show enmity towards his
Prophet.
Even if they are their fathers or their
brothers, etc.
And this is what we refer to as
al-walaa wa al-baraa.
So your loyalty and your love is for
your faith, for your deen, and those who
follow it and embrace it.
This heart, there should not be any room
for those who fight Allah and fight His
Messenger.
You will never find among the Muslims a
group who believe in Allah on the last
day.
They exhibit and they show love and affection
towards those who wage war and fight against
Allah and His Messenger.
Even if they are their parents, their fathers,
etc.
So, in this hadith, the Prophet is making
it clear.
In one of the battles, I think in
the Battle of Badr, many of the Mushriks
were captured.
They were taken as captives and prisoners of
war.
So Mus'ab ibn Umair saw his own
brother among the captives.
And another Muslim is handcuffing him, handcuffing Mus
'ab's brother.
So Mus'ab said to the Muslim, tighten
the handcuff.
See what he said, tighten the handcuffs.
He has a rich mother in Makkah.
He has a rich mother in Makkah who
is going to ransom him, pay money for
his freedom.
So his brother, who is not a Muslim,
told Mus'ab, I am your brother and
you are telling him to tighten the handcuffs.
He told his brother, the biological one, the
one who has blood ties with him, the
one who suckled the same breast, came from
the same womb.
He told him, no, you are not my
brother.
He is my brother, the Muslim.
So here the Prophet is telling us, and
this is what we, nowadays the Muslims are
missing.
The real brotherhood, though the Prophet mentioned that
the similitude and the likeness of the brotherhood
among Muslims, like this one body, like this
entire body.
When one organ is in agony and pain,
the rest they feel.
Everyone knows himself.
Do you feel the suffering of your Muslim
brothers?
Whatever is happening to any Muslim, anywhere, you
feel it inside you.
If you have that feeling, Alhamdulillah, thank Allah.
But if you don't feel anything, then there
is a problem with you.
Check your Iman.
The Prophet is saying, only
Allah is the one I count on.
He is the one I draw near to.
He is the one I depend on and
I trust.
And the pious believers are my friends.
So the believers are your brother.
And this hadith is in Sahih Muslim.
The author, Rahimallah, is mentioning another
hadith.
That means the hadith is also Sahih Muslim.
And in Bukhari as well, and other books
of the Sunnah.
One of the Companions said, As for me,
I do not eat meat.
Another said, As for me, I neither get
up nor sleep.
Another said, As for me, I neither fast
nor break my fast.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,
said, But I get up and sleep, and
fast and break my fast, and marry women,
and eat meat.
So whoever desires my Sunnah, he is not
of me.
So ponder, if some of the Companions, wanted
to make an example of worship, they would
have said these strong words.
They would have said these strong words.
And they would have called it, Desiring the
Sunnah.
So what do you think of anything other
than this?
And what do you think of anything other
than the Companions?
Allahu Akbar.
The meaning.
That is why I wish you understand Arabic.
You see the impact of the words.
So the Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on
him, is saying, It is also in Muslim,
from the hadith of Anas, that it was
mentioned to the Prophet, peace and blessings be
upon him, that some of his Companions said
the following.
And you know this hadith.
A group of the Sahaba, came to the
household of the Prophet, peace and blessings be
upon him, to ask the wives of the
Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about
the special acts of worship, that the Prophet,
peace and blessings be upon him, was doing
at home.
They want to know, what are the special
things, the things that we are not aware
of, that he is doing at home, so
that we will emulate him, and follow him.
Things he is doing in Damascus, we see
them.
But he must be doing other things at
home.
So we want to know.
That was the motive.
And by the way, you should know that,
the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,
is an open book.
Open book.
It is an open book for anyone who
can read.
Nothing is hidden in the life of the
Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
Nothing.
Everyone of us has certain secrets in his
life.
No one knows, except Allah, peace and blessings
be upon him.
But the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon
him, whatever you want to know.
What do you want to know about him?
Everything is there.
Because Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
chose him, to be a role model for
us.
So he is teaching us.
As a matter of fact, Allah is teaching
us, in the person of the Prophet, peace
and blessings be upon him.
Everything is there.
Even what is happening in the bedroom.
How he would approach his wives.
How he would fulfill his biological needs, with
his wife.
Everything.
Everything is mentioned.
A man came to him, and he said,
O Prophet of Allah, sometimes,
while fulfilling my biological needs with my partner,
I fail to *.
What should I do?
No discharge.
The Prophet told him, this happens to me
as well, with this one of his wives.
It happens to me, he told him.
And in the early days, if a man
had intimacy with his partner, his wife, and
he did not *, then it was sufficient
just to take wudu, to wash the organs,
and perform ablution.
No need to take a shower.
But this ruling was abrogated.
So if you come across Hadith, it says,
no need to take a shower.
You say, wow.
See, no need for us to take a
shower.
Because I didn't *.
This was abrogated.
This was in the beginning.
It was abrogated by the other Hadith.
This is the narration that cancelled and abrogated
the previous ruling.
It says, when the private parts touch each
other, then ghusl,
taking a shower, a bath, becomes incumbent upon
both of them.
Abu Urairah explained and he said, when the
head of the male organ disappears inside the
male organ, then shower is obligatory.
Now, having said this, the Sahaba came to
the household of the Prophet to ask about
what are the special things that the Prophet
was doing.
So they were told he prays and sleeps,
he fasts and he breaks his fast.
So they were told about the things that
the Prophet was doing.
So when they were told these things, they
considered them literal.
But then they tried to convince themselves by
saying to themselves, maybe a literal from the
Prophet, Allah has forgiven him all the sins.
So a literal deed from him is sufficient.
But we are sinners and our sins are
not forgiven.
So we have to do more than him.
So one says, another narration says that some
of them say I'm going to castrate myself.
Castration.
You know castration?
Castration when you do it to the animals,
to the horses or to the the lambs
or to the billy goats, the males.
You remove the testicles of the animal.
So this companion said I'm going to castrate
myself so that I will not have this
affinity and inclination and feeling for the opposite
*.
Another one said he is not going to
eat me because
some people, the religious people and other beliefs
and other earthly religions, they consider staying away
from eating meat is a sign of piety.
So saying I'm not going to eat meat.
Prophet, he loves meat and he loves the
shoulder.
That's why the Jewish lady who wanted
to poison him.
She invited him for a meal and she
asked which part of the meat he loves
most.
So when she was told she stuffed that
portion with poison.
So the Prophet had a bite and
swallowed it.
Then Allah made that piece of flesh to
talk, to speak saying I am stuffed with
poison.
Another companion also ate from that portion and
he died.
So the Prophet, he called the lady, why
did you do that?
He said if you are a true prophet,
it's not going to harm you.
And if you are an imposter, liar, we
get rid of you.
So the Prophet, he loved meat.
One day he came after time of Salah
of course, the noon prayer, because he was
hungry.
So he wanted to go to Abu Ayub,
I'm sorry, he might feed him.
Abu Bakr saw the Prophet and he followed
him.
Umar saw the Prophet and Abu Bakr and
he followed them.
Then another one of the Sahaba, he followed
them and they went to Abu Ayub.
He rejoiced and felt happy and he received
them.
The Prophet also told Abu Ayub about that
man who followed them.
He only followed us when he saw us.
So if you want him to enter, he
will come.
He said yes, he is welcome.
Abu Ayub went because the Ansar, they are
farmers in Medina.
So he went and he cut a cluster
of date.
It has Rutab and Busur.
The Rutab when it is half of the
date is alive and the other half is
still solid.
So he put the cluster in front of
the Prophet.
So the Prophet said why didn't you bring
us date?
He said I want you to taste all
the different, the variety and I am going
to slaughter an animal now for you.
So the Prophet told him but avoid the
females that have milk.
So he slaughtered sheep or goat and roasted
it, cooked it, served it.
When the Prophet saw that he took portion
or told them take something for Fatima, his
daughter.
She never, for a long time she hasn't
tasted meat.
So here are some of the Sahaba to
say I am not going to eat meat.
That's not on the Prophet and he loves
meat.
And another one said I will play the
whole night.
I will not sleep.
Another one said I will fast.
I will not break my fast.
Now imagine the Ummah is doing this.
Not eating meat.
The whole night are awake.
Fasting all the time.
What will happen to the Ummah?
Will this Ummah progress?
Advance?
No.
You don't eat meat.
You need protein and you don't want to
take it.
This body needs to take rest.
So if the whole night you are praying
and you are not sleeping during the day
you will sleep.
Naturally.
Islam my dear brothers and sisters is about
balance.
Balance.
This body has right over you.
When Salman visited his brother Abu Darda and
he saw Abu Darda wearing the clothes of
daily chores he said what's this?
He said your brother is not interested in
anything.
So why should I wear nice clothes?
And Abu Darda came and said eat.
And he brought food.
He said sit down and eat with me.
He said no.
I am fasting.
He said no.
Break your fast.
I am your host.
And the host has right over the I
am your guest.
And the guest has right over his host.
So he broke his fast.
The night fell at night after they prayed
Isha and they had their dinner.
Abu Darda got up.
He wanted to start praying.
He pulled him down and said sleep.
Sleep.
You have a long night.
Sleep.
Before Fajr both of them got up.
Then Salman told Abu Darda Listen.
Your wife has right over you.
Your guest has right over you.
Your body has right over you.
So give everyone his due right.
And the Prophet was told he said Salman
is learned man.
He knew the spirit of this deen.
When got married.
After a few days went to ask about
his son.
He asked his daughter-in-law How is
your husband?
He said mashallah.
All the night he is praying and all
the days he is fasting.
He never touched me.
He felt very upset and angry.
So he reported and complained to the Prophet.
And the Prophet had to invite And he
advised him.
Give everyone his right.
Your wife has right.
Because he used to all the time memorizing
and reading the Quran.
When he finishes the Quran he starts again.
So the Prophet said no.
Don't finish the Quran in less than three
days.
Pray and sleep.
This is our Islam my dear brothers and
sisters.
Because if you go to extreme it will
backfire.
The night you are awake you will sleep
during the day.
The day is for gaining your livelihood.
Not for sleep.
For example in Ramadan this is very common.
When the people all the night they are
awake.
And especially the last ten nights.
In the morning they have to go to
offices.
Report to their office.
They have duties.
You will find him at his desk nodding.
Sleep.
He is asleep.
You come with official documents to be stamped
or to be signed.
He tells you for Ramadan Kareem.
Will come later.
He is sinful.
Because he is receiving salary money and he
is not doing his job.
Or the whole night he is awake before
Fajr he sleeps he misses the Fajr prayer.
He prays Taraweeh and Qiyam late.
But the Fajr he misses.
What a great loss.
It is better for you to pray the
Fajr and to miss the Taraweeh and the
Qiyam late.
These are not Fard.
The Fard is the Fajr.
So you see the importance of the knowledge
and the Ilm.
When you have the knowledge you know how
to deal with and how to run your
affairs.
So the Prophet upon hearing all this was
repulsed to him.
Because his wife heard what they said.
So he gathered the sahaba in the masjid
and he said He didn't mention their names
and this was a lesson for us in
the Dawa.
When we criticize something we don't mention the
person.
We mention the topic the issue but the
person is not that important.
But we address the issue.
Unless there is a necessity someone who is
inviting the people to misguidance and warning and
the people will not get the message by
just addressing what he is saying.
Then there is no harm in mentioning his
name.
But if there is no interest, there is
no benefit no faida, no need.
So the Prophet said The most important thing
is to address the issue.
Then he told them I am your role
model I I
I sleep And Allah put barakah in the
life of the Prophet.
His wife said No time you want to
see him praying except that you see him
pray.
Any time you want to see him asleep
you see him asleep.
Balance You want to pray but after
taking rest after you sleep I
fast and I break my fast and they
break my fast.
And he said the best fasting is the
fasting of Dawood.
The best way of fasting or the method
of fasting is Dawood.
Every alternate day.
Today fasting, tomorrow you break your fast.
And like that.
Not always continuous fasting all the time.
And sometimes he breaks his fast.
One day he got up in the morning
and he asked his wife Do you have
any food?
They said no.
Then he said ok then I will fast.
Which means this was the case of the
of the Prophet and his the household They
don't have food.
Imagine the Prophet two months no cooking.
Two months.
Three consecutive moons.
And they were living only on water and
date.
If they find otherwise they try their their
tummies, their bellies.
And one of the journeys he was fasting.
And then before sunset he saw the Sahaba
gather together.
He said what was the problem?
What happened?
Why they are together?
Watching something?
He said yes.
One of your companions fainted.
He was fasting.
The Prophet he told them give me water.
And he drank.
He broke his fast in front of all
the Sahaba.
To tell them that you should break your
fast.
And he said It is not a sign
of piety to fast to fast while traveling.
So what does this mean?
If the fast while you are traveling is
going to affect your health like what happened
to this companion who fainted then it is
not a sign of piety.
But if it is not harming you, fine.
You can fast while traveling.
Because the Prophet and another hadith he was
fasting.
And I marry women.
And I marry women.
Because there is no celibacy in Islam.
You cannot be celibate.
Like in other faith the religious men cannot
get married.
You have to be celibate.
So celibacy is something praiseworthy.
In Islam no.
No room for celibacy in Islam.
This is the Sunan al-Fitr and Sunan
al-Mursaleen that Allah's Prophets and Messengers they
were married and they had children.
Married and they had children.
So you should not shun Sunan al-Mursaleen
and decide not to get married.
The best guidance is the guidance of the
Prophet.
Don't tell me that this alim, that alim
didn't get married Nawawi, Ibn Taymiyyah and others.
Everyone had his own case and reason.
Ibn Taymiyyah all his lifetime in prison and
he died in prison.
And you have also to understand that they
had Mulki Yameen.
Mulki Yameen they had which is slave girls
and the Mulki Yameen you sleep with her
like just your wife.
So the marriage is from Sunan al-Mursaleen
and the Prophet he encouraged the Muslims to
get married because on the night of the
mi'raj the night of the mi'raj
the Prophet he saw a great crowd big
crowd.
He said who are they?
He thought that was his ummah.
He said this is Musa this is Moses
and Bani Israel with him.
Then he was told but look now to
that crowd covering the horizon that is your
ummah.
So the Prophet he had the wish that
this ummah multiply and to outnumber the nations
on the day of resurrection.
That's why he said Tazawwaju al-walood al
-wadood fa inni mukathirun mukathirun bikum al-umam
yawm al-qiyamah aw mubahir bikum al-umam
yawm al-qiyamah So marry those women who
are prolific those who can give you more
children How can I know?
They say if he was married before he
must have children and if he is virgin
then see her mother, her sister and she
will be like them but if this family
the unknown maximum two children don't marry from
that family so marry those who are prolific
Tazawwaju al-walood al-wadood those of loving
nature fa inni mukathirun bikum al-umam yawm
al-qiyamah because I want to boast I
want to feel proud of you I want
you to outnumber the rest of the nations,
the rest of the people So the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam he encouraged us to
get married and the sahaba they fulfilled that
wish it was common among them and it
was common among the salaf to have more
than one wife not only that, they
hated staying unmarried if one's wife died there
are reports he buried his wife and now
he is getting on the same night married
another woman he doesn't want to die as
a bachelor Sayyidina Umar ibn al-Khattab when
he was very old people, weak he said
inni la'ukrihu nafsi alal jima' I force
myself to have intimacy with my partner
I'm forcing myself not because I have desire
no, but because I want to have a
child perhaps Allah will bless me with a
child who will worship Allah so
this ummah need to multiply and fulfill the
wish of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
and alhamdulillah, the Muslims population on the right,
alhamdulillah those who call themselves educated being brainwashed
and they are having birth control one boy
one girl, no no birth control in Islam
Allah is the provider multiply Allah
provides, not you do
not kill your children because of poverty the
poverty exists we provide you and them this
is one ayah the other ayah do not
kill your children out of fear out of
fear of poverty we
provide for them a child comes along with
his rizq along with his provision so
to decide not to get married and giving
lame excuses I am seeking ilm busy with
the pursuing education and getting my PhD and
all that nonsense, forget about it get married
and the parents who are well off, get
your children married while even doing their study
what's the problem you have the means, you
have the wealth get your children married and
believe me they will get score A's but
now nothing there to distract them and we
should not delay the marriage of the girls
because something happened to the mindset of the
Muslims something here happened so the girl by
default primary school then preparatory school and then
the high school then the college, 12 years
and then the university notice this, by
the time she finishes the high school she
is maybe 16, 18 around that age and
now another 4 or 5 years she is
in her 20's she finishes, I have now
to get a career job, I am busy
now I don't want to get married and
the clock is ticking and now she wants
to get married no one is interested, I
am telling you some brothers they used to
come to ask I want to get married
so you tell him this family, that family
this sister, that sister, how old is he
tell him he is 21, 22 oh no,
he is like my mom he is like
my mother, I don't want so don't I
am telling the sister don't procrastinate, don't delay
don't be choosy this husband comes no, no
then you want anyone and no one comes
once I read an article I will not
mention the country the woman there, because of
this sickness finishing the university, then her master
then the career now she is in her
30's no one is going to marry her
and you know for the woman ok the
period of having children is so limited and
the number of eggs or the ovens is
limited because the ovary every month releases one
egg so a time will come when no
repository no stock, all the eggs left finished
and this egg will wait for time to
be virtualized because no husband that egg will
die the uterine wall will collapse and it
will come out in the form of the
menstrual cycle menses and it goes on until
you reach menopause because now no more eggs
there and no one is going to marry
you because you are not going to give
him a child so in this country what
the women do they deposit their eggs in
banks like there are banks of the seminal
fluid for *, there are also banks for
the eggs where the eggs can be sold
then they can be used later on and
they can be virtualized and then you can
have a surrogate mother who can bear the
child for you that is not Islamic and
that is not allowed in Islam so in
Islam you get married and do not procrastinate
and do not delay the marriage and that
is what the prophet encouraged the Jews to
do to get married the prophet told the
Sahaba I marry women and I eat meat
and whoever is not interested and who rejects
my sunnah he is not from me then
the author said reflect on what the prophet
said and reflect who were the attendees who
was the audience or who were the audience
the attendees that the
prophet addressed the Sahaba so reflect if some
of the Sahaba wanted to become he wanted
to become a celibate not interested so tabatul
means celibacy he wanted to become so that
he will dedicate his time and his life
for Ibadah worshipping Allah like you see there
is no room in Islam to become a
hermit or a monk no, no room
for that in Islam so
when they wanted to become celibate and his
tough words and harsh speech he gave and
the prophet called what they wanted to do
that they are rejecting his sunnah that is
how the prophet perceived it and viewed it
if this is how the prophet's reaction was
what do you think if the matter is
greater than that if just not getting married
you are rejecting his sunnah what if the
prophet saw what is happening what do you
think the prophet's reaction would be when people
are sinking into the mires of innovations everyone
is inventing and adding to the deen and
what do you think of the people who
are not companions and they are practicing innovations
with the prophet would he be happy with
them would he be kind to them would
his speech be mild or tougher may
Allah guide our ummah may Allah bless
us with the beneficial knowledge of righteous deeds
may Allah keep us steadfast on this beautiful
deen treading on the path of our prophet
and his companions and follow his footsteps may
Allah forgive us our faults and mistakes may
Allah may Allah unite our ummah may Allah
unite our hearts may Allah reward all of
you my dear brothers and sisters immensely for
your patience and attendance may Allah bless you
may Allah keep you Sheikh we have received
a few questions please let me know when
you have received the first one yeah
ok go ahead the first question if there
is one person in the second row at
the start of the prayer should someone from
the first row move to the second if
there is one person in the second row
at the start of the prayer should someone
from the first row move to the second
no no because when you leave the first
row you are creating gap in the first
row the sooner that we fill the gaps
if someone says but he is alone listen
we are not praying like the sahaba no
gaps muslim and there is this much between
the two muslims and the prophet said these
gaps are filled with shayateen so muslim and
shaytan because of the gap muslim and other
shaytan etc so there are gaps you will
find room where you can enter into the
first row that is why the sunnah of
the prophet he would not commence the salah
before shayateen the rows and filling the gaps
and he said shayateen your rows otherwise Allah
will turn your hearts against one another subhanallah
one of the Hanafi scholars he said the
hearts of the muslims turn against one another
when their rows in the salah were not
perfect Allah turned the hearts that is why
you don't feel the warmth of brotherhood though
he is next to you because the hearts
are not in harmony what if hypothetically there
is no room in the first row the
ulema they said in that case you pray
by yourself in the second row hoping that
someone will join can i pull someone no
the hadith of pulling someone is weak don't
pull anyone what about the hadith
you pray for the one who prays alone
by himself in the second row that has
to be understood in the context there is
room in the first row and you didn't
fill it but if the row is complete
Allah will not blame you because Allah says
Allah did the best of your ability i
hope this is clear to the questioner next
question please the prophet where should we look
during tashahud should we look at the finger
or towards the middle of the lap the
prophet that means he is he is looking
that way down but part of his sight
is at his finger but not focusing like
that no he is seeing his finger of
the index finger while he is passing his
sight downwards next you
can ignore or
you can give any sign that you are
praying sunnah or something like that and here
something i remembered second jama'a in the
masjid establishing second jama'a in the masjid
the jamhoor of the ulama saying second jama
'a is makrooh disliked and at the time
of the prophet there was only one jama
'a not like what we see today for
example asr prayer jama'a after jama'a
until just before maghrib someone came late
he found someone got up because he missed
so he will touch him so he will
make him imam and this will go on
cascading this is not sunnah you just ignore
him he wants to make you imam for
him so there was no second jama'a
at the time of the prophet only first
jama'a that's it that's why the prophet
was about to set the houses on fire
of those who do not attend the congregation
jama'a if it was second and third
he would not have thought of setting their
homes ablaze and what stopped him there are
women and children and this is evidence that
the congregational prayer is wajibah not only sunnah
wajibah otherwise the prophet would not have thought
of setting their homes on fire or something
recommended Abdullah ibn Mas'ud had guests when
they went to the masjid the salah was
finished over so he decided to go back
to his house with his guests and played
in his house he didn't play in the
masjid second jama'a another hadith the prophet
one day he came late because he went
to another part of medina so he missed
the jama'a the muslims prayed he didn't
start another jama'a congregational prayer in the
masjid he went to his house some might
argue and say that in another hadith one
of the sahaba came late and the jama
'a was concluded so the prophet said who
can give charity to this one so one
of the sahaba got up and prayed so
some of the ulama they used this as
evidence to have a second jama'a is
this an evidence can be used no it
cannot be used why?
because here this two one of them already
prayed so he is giving sadaqa to the
one who didn't pray by praying with him
because he already prayed but the second jama
'a all of them they didn't pray no
one so he is giving sadaqa to the
other no one so how do you make
the qiyas this group none of them prayed
with the group one of them already prayed
and he is giving sadaqa to the other
in order for the analogy the qiyas to
be valid they should be identical should be
identical yes if two of the sahaba came
after the jama'a and they start praying
and the prophet kept quiet then this is
clear cut evidence clear cut evidence so that's
why the jumhoor of the ulama saying the
second jama'a in the masjid is makrooh
keep this in mind so
someone now you are praying sunnah or you
get up because you missed one rak'ah
someone comes and tap on your shoulder ignore
him next next question can you
indicate to someone during salah to move closer
if they stood far away yes in the
movement in the salah if it is for
the benefit of the salah so you hold
him or give a sign fine without talking
that's ok or to move there is a
gap in the row before you ahead of
you you move to fill the gap that's
ok but of course you don't talk in
the salah next the
next question I heard that the best part
to eat of the meat is the shoulder
is this a sunnah or is there a
hadith that says we should follow the sunnah
you see here you have to understand the
sunnah of the prophet there is sunnat ibadah
and sunnat adah two types of the sunnah
sunnat ibadah and sunnat adah sunnat ibadah the
sunnah which is considered to be active worship
it is the four types his sayings his
actions his approvals and the things he didn't
do in spite of the need the things
that he left he didn't do in spite
of the need for example he didn't make
adhan for the Eid for the Eid prayer
so he left the adhan so the sunnah
to leave the adhan this is ibadah the
sunnah in the sense that things he did
because that was the custom of his people
or it is his natural that is his
nature for example the prophet he loves sweet
he loves pumpkin can one say now eating
sweets is sunnah no it is not sunnah
yes sunnat adah that was okay his nature
he loves sweet you don't come to a
brother who is diabetic and he loves the
sunnah and tell him eat I am diabetic
sunnah that is not sunnah that is just
his nature he loves sweet or the pumpkin
he used to pick it and liked it
that is his nature like that combing his
hair and braiding it
that is not sunnah sunnat adah so he
is braiding his hair just like his people
so now to say that growing your hair
is sunnah ibadah not sunnat adah but if
I grow my hair out of love of
the prophet because I love him and they
want to emulate him then I will be
rewarded because of my intention that is it
so you have to keep in mind the
two types of sunnah adah and ibadah I
hope this is clear regarding eating the shoulder
the prophet loved it next
question a
sister at home are sisters at home liable
to the rules of khutbah as the masjid
is near to our house and sometimes the
imam gives khutbah like abdul qadir jilani or
khodja gharib nawaz so am I bound to
listen to the khutbah no you are not
jum'ah is not incumbent on you it
is not obligatory on you it is not
obligatory for women that is why the ulema
say if a woman has a shop and
her next neighbor a man the man has
to close when the adhan of jum'ah
starts for her no need to close her
shop because jum'ah is not obligatory for
her you can continue selling especially if you
own people or trufflers passing by etc so
you are not obliged to listen to the
khutbah but if you want to listen to
benefit fine and also you should not wait
for the jum'ah and khutbah to finish
to pray your dhuhr you can pray your
dhuhr the moment you hear the adhan that's
it i hope this is clear to the
questioner next
may i ask regarding the hadith on the
punishment for homosexuality i would like to know
about the authenticity of those hadith and if
you can give advice on how to deal
with gay people muslims or non-muslims first
of all you have to understand when you
are reading the the islamic hukum or ruling
it's talking about muslim countries and about muslims
don't try to take the islamic ruling and
apply it in non-muslim country are quoting
out of context the rulings in sharia are
applied for the muslims to the muslims okay
now they are living in non-muslim countries
and there are homosexuals and there are gays
etc now this homosexual or this gay who's
a muslim advice and remind him oh ha
he's a lesbian for example to repent so
we have to give them non-muslims the
same thing we give them okay and the
rulings in the sharia are clear on this
matter in this matter there are many narrations
mentioned about this ruling the ruling of it
and imam tahabi mentioned in his book the
major sins and other scholars mentioned in their
books so there are authentic narrations some narrations
they have some weakness but there are also
authentic narrations but keep in mind these are
the rulings in the sharia in islam for
the muslims in muslim land next because
this is this is a grave sin grave
sin the allah subhana taala destroyed sudoom the
town of lut because of this shameful deed
that's why the homosexuals are called sodomites and
homosexuality so do me next how
to make istikhara you pray two rakats and
after concluding you say the dua and ask
allah subhana wa taala if it is khair
to facilitate it for you and then you
proceed you go ahead you don't wait for
feelings or dream etc and the one who
this topic that he is consulting allah subhana
taala and asking allah to facilitate it the
one who that problem belongs to him is
the one who prays the istikhara you don't
pray istikhara on somebody's behalf and the istikhara
can be repeated once twice three times till
you feel but when you pray istikhara you
don't wait for anything you just proceed you
go ahead next
question what is the difference between a scholar
and a student of knowledge the difference between
scholar and a student of knowledge okay so
you have the alim you have the da
'ia you have students of knowledge okay these
are levels the alim is the scholar the
one who mastered the the disciplines of knowledge
he mastered the the prerequisites and the sciences
that are prerequisites which we call these are
the instruments instrumental sciences okay he is a
scholar and of course he knows the deen
and he has profound understanding and knowledge of
the deen and the alim can move further
on the scale of climbing the ladder when
he reaches a level where he is now
able to deduce the rulings from the directly
from the revelation Quran and sunnah when he
reaches that level of ihtihad still that hasn't
reached the level of the ulama he is
moving towards that level and of course the
talib al ilm they are different levels he
can be advanced he can be intermediate and
beginner and then you have down the ladder
you have the layman who just layman layperson
he asked the ulama to when he is
in doubt about anything next the next question
what is the ruling on a person who
denounces a person who sells bracelets on which
is inscribed verses of the Quran you see
these bracelets or they have Quran inscribed on
them this is called amulets whether what is
written in the Quran or anything else and
it's not allowed not allowed wearing the amulets
or talismans and
another hadith the incantations and the
amulets and the bewitchment all these are acts
of the shaitan so someone is selling these
bracelets with the ayat or lockets with Quran
and ayatul kursi for example he should be
advised not to do that because the Quran
was not sent down for this or to
write the Quran on a piece of cloth
and hang it on the wall or like
a painting ayatul kursi all these things Quran
should not be a piece of furniture I
hope this is clear to the questioner next
the next question is there a ruling on
who can marry i.e. if the person
is physically disabled and unable to speak but
signs and has indicated the need to marriage
can marriage be arranged for them yes if
some person has special needs and for example
a woman doesn't speak okay but she
walks and everything and she wants to get
married and there is a man who is
interested in marrying her that's fine no issue
no problem or maybe another man like her
same thing he has the same problem so
they can marry and yes subhanallah yesterday I
saw a clip a brother sent it to
me a father and his son the son
is translating through the sign language and he
is married he has two wives and also
they are like him and the children mashallah
fine so there is no problem at all
we shall not say because he has special
needs he cannot or she cannot get married
next question the next question is
it halal income the funds that's collected from
football whenever there is a game there that
shall be charged fees it's not it's not
the legal means of earning this next
question we have received
a question on the previous question the second
question relating to the inscription or bracelets just
asking on the last question so having islamic
or arabic or quranic scriptures on decoration pieces
are they allowed or not it's
not allowed the quran is not sent down
to be portrayed as a piece of furniture
unfortunately people they are doing that it's not
islamic next question
what if no one suitable came along in
terms of faith etc what should the sister
do one minute i know
our sisters are desperate and they want to
get married but you need to choose the
suitable partner for yourself so you don't pick
anyone except anyone so in the same way
the prophet encouraged the men to choose the
most pious and righteous and religious committed person
so it is your right the same thing
you don't want to accept a brother who
will make your life * miserable who will
make you cry many times everyday you don't
want that see the sahabiya came to the
prophet and she said oh prophet of allah
three of your companions proposed to me so
choose for me so she mentioned them Muawiyah
bin Abi Sufyan Abu Jahan and Usama so
she is consulting she is asking for advice
so the prophet told her Muawiyah is very
poor he doesn't have money don't marry him
because he is very poor and marriage is
not a joke you have to provide house
and maintenance and feed your wife and then
the children so don't marry Muawiyah which means
if someone comes and he is very poor
and he wants to ask him for the
hand of your daughter or sister he doesn't
have income he doesn't have job tell him
with all due respect we are sorry we
cannot get you married then he told her
Abu Jahan he beats the women don't marry
him he beats women that's why when someone
proposes the family they have to do their
homework to ask about this boy oh he
is he was in gangs he is very
hot tempered person sorry sorry son we love
our daughter we will not give her to
you then the prophet told her marry Usama
so my advice for the sister be patient
but at the same time some sister they
are very idealistic not realistic so they put
conditions I want him to be like this
and this we are looking for the minimum
requirement five prayers a day he prays in
the mosque he has good manners no smoking
no drinks no womanizing good manners ethical values
minimum we say Alhamdulillah go ahead I hope
this is clear to the sisters next question
the second part of the question I was
speaking to someone today regarding the hadith of
the prophet which says run away from the
leper as you would run away from the
lion and the sister asked me if this
was someone's relative what should one do this
hadith is authentic and normally
these diseases are contagious so this person should
be in quarantine and normally in hospitals they
have special place for them but if you
are in a remote area or countryside and
he is not in the hospital he is
in the same house etc so you minimize
the contact and take all the precautions gloves
and mask ok just like you behave like
the nurse in hospital who deals with such
people I hope this is clear to the
questioner next
question what is the ruling on attending the
independence day in muslim countries which say this
is a day we got freedom from non
muslim countries colonial power next question the next
question sheikh I know cutting the relative is
a sin however with trying so many times
and failing because I end up being abused
or in conflict I cut to them for
a while then passing salams once a month
and then hoping once a week because it
is very hard with them a piece of
advice for you my dear brothers and sisters
ask your questions that you will benefit ask
questions that will benefit you this question
is talking about cutting the ties the relative
is a sin however if
now you try to be nice to them
and you got affected abused or harmed or
insulted etc so if this is going to
harm you and affect you then you can
keep yourself distant from them and try to
keep the contact over the media over for
example the emails or telephone or something like
that if visiting them and trying to be
nice to them is harming you and they
are mistreating you so you end up you
are suffering in that case you the sharia
is in your side and Allah does not
impose on us something that is going to
make us suffer and harm us so you
evaluate the situation and if you find this
is affecting you affecting your Deen, affecting your
Islam keep yourself distant from them and
maintaining the ties don't sever the ties altogether
and forever and Allah making dua for them
may Allah guide all of us and guide
them next this was the last question may
Allah bless you all for your attendance and
accept it with that said I will hand
it back to the Sheikh to conclude the
lesson may Allah bless you reward you
elevate your status in this world and in
Jannatul Naeem until we meet in the coming
session I leave you in Allah's company may
Allah protect you and preserve you Assalamu Alaikum
