Brothers
and sisters.
We'll come back
everybody. Welcome back
to our session today, the second session.
We will, conclude what we started last week
about
why is it forbidden?
Why
is
it
forbidden?
And
we started last week just because I know
some
some of us might really have
a different ideas in his or her mind,
and they feel
a lot of, they have a lot of
pressure.
Why
we are not allowed to smoke or to
deal with the drugs or at
least, you know, to have the relationship between
different gender?
You know, I know. A lot of us
might have some questions
and really
and
just to make it
clear for all of us.
Do we acknowledge
or not? Yes. Of course.
And do we agree that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is able to do anything or not?
Of course.
But when we when we receive
the command from Allah
do or
don't do.
This is
this is our religion.
Our religion,
you know, has 2 commands. One of them
do, Which
is include all the obedience
for the sake of Allah.
The masala, the suyam, the zakar, the hajj,
all the obedience.
All commands,
It's one word, do.
And the other half of our religion,
another word, don't do.
You know,
whatever Allah doesn't
like,
stay away from it.
And when we come to our topic, why
is it forbidden?
When we look
at the,
you know,
Yeah. The main,
rule
for everything
is
lawful.
You will find only few things that Allah
forbid for us.
Everything is halal for us. Everything is
lawful,
permissible for us to do.
Except
few certain
things, and it's fair.
Subhanallah.
If we have the opposite way, everything is
not allowed.
And Allah will
allow us to do a certain
thing. It will be hard.
It will be difficult.
But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala out of his
mercy,
out of his
grasp
that
he
allowed us to do everything in our life.
To eat whatever we want, to drink whatever
we want, to wear whatever we we,
comfortable with.
Except
what
Allah prohibited us in the Quran
or in the sunnah.
Is it fair?
Yeah. Any
do what you're gonna do. Stay away from
it. Do with the
What?
Not to be arrogant
and not to show off.
This is the point.
We have
a certain verses,
a certain hadith
to tell us
it's not allowed to deal with this action,
or with this relation,
or with this food, or with this drink.
That's it.
And we gonna memorize them and just try
to prevent ourselves
away from them.
But, you know, the main,
foundation,
everything
is lawful
for us.
For the food,
everything,
all the food
except
a certain kind of food that Allah mentioned
in the Quran.
Subhanallah.
Same kind of food
of haram for us. And most of them
related to the same source,
which is the dead animals.
That's it.
You know, the animal get hit by other
animal. You know, by the hole
and just they were fighting and one of
them just died.
You know, when when the animal dropped from,
up from the mountain down,
it's dead.
Also,
You know, when where they fighting and they
hit each other.
When the people slaughter for the statues or
the idols
like the people of of Marqus
do around the Kaaba. And we still have
people until today,
they slaughter
for their
their
their graves or their.
And this is allowed for us to eat.
Because,
you know, they mentioned
somebody's names beside Allah's name.
But the rest of the food is halal.
For the drinks.
All the drinks
are halal except
whatever Allah mentioned
in the Quran
or what about prophet
Muhammad mentioned in the hadith.
Makes sense? Is it fair?
Allah mentioned about, you know,
or why.
And the idea I would like to
have some time with that. How Allah
forbid,
wine for the believers.
Allah did not and you know,
why I mentioned
this as a particular
way
or procedure that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala used
to forbid
why.
Because we might have some Muslims
I'm not talking about you guys. Don't worry.
We might have some Muslim, maybe they did
not practice Islam correctly.
They might get into,
you know,
smoking
or into drugs or into a,
uphold
And
Allah
used the the,
philosophy
not to make
the action forbidden once.
Say the Aisha used to say, if Allah
forbid once,
no one will respond to Allah's command.
Even those are the companions of Rasulullah
And just
realize that and have mercy,
upon
the one who is dealing with the evil
major sins around you. It's okay.
It's okay. Help them out. If you really
love them, if you care about them, stretch
your hands to
attract them, take them out of their bad
situations.
And Nabiya salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed
the Quran
talking about,
you know, wine or alcohol.
What was the first
verse that Allah mentioned about alcohol
or what?
Who knows?
Allah
mentioned,
From the fruits
of palm tree
and the grapes.
What?
And these the two main sources of wine.
Dates
and what?
Brothers and sisters, I'm not coming to just
deliver,
you know, the message. No. You you need
to share with me. This is
to benefit all of us together.
There is 2 main sources
of wine. One of them is
dates
and tongue.
And the second one is
grapes and
to eat them.
Food.
You remember last time? It's not Halloween.
Halloween.
It's
Halloween. Halloween. You're like, change it to halawi.
Halawi.
Yeah.
You know, the dates, it's the most
important
food to break your fast with. When
we
get involved
into
the fruits that Allah can get for us,
and we'll we'll we'll deal with the mischief.
If we leave,
you know, the environment like Allah
created it, no one will will receive harm.
But we we created
the harm from our sides.
His mercy. He used to say, you know,
when you when you see the the crash
on the highway or the the on the
road, You know, there is 2 cars
or 2 crop trucks or, you know, hit
each other. But have you seen 2 donkeys
hit each other?
We we have the the donkeys to arrive
there.
But we never ever, you know, find the
donkey, hit the other donkey, and they they
have,
accident.
Because this is the creation of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
But what we did,
we did the mischief on
earth. Go back to our topic. Allah forbid
wine and
in 4 different
stages.
The intention with me. It will be very
easy to understand it. The first stage, Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala just mention
about
the good food to eat
and
that something to lose your money. That's it.
You might have
the way of wanting to keep them for
a few days
and to change them, you know, to lose
your mind.
To be drunk.
Or otherwise, you can eat them as a
fruit.
But Allah did not say
is haram, this this is haram or halal.
Just he, almighty Allah,
compare
between the 2 different
ways
to eat the fruits.
And the second stage, Allah
mentioned
about
when Allah
mentioned in Surat Al Baqarah.
Yes.
What?
They asked you, oh Mohammed, about Al Khamr
Wal Masif.
About wine and
And when Maisir, which is
like lottery or what they call for
Maisir Gamble. Gambling.
And Allah told the prophet Muhammadan
Tell them that they have
a big sin
and some benefit for people.
Where where is the sin and where is
the benefit?
The sin that when you use
alcohol and wine and gambling.
But where is the benefit?
The rich people, they are dealing with this
business. They will gain the money
because they are selling the alcohol, and they
are selling they are dealing with the gambling
to gain the money.
And this is which is stage that we
have right now.
Which is stage?
2nd.
That about 3rd stage,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentioned
for believers in the beginning of Islam.
They used to drink alcohol as
if they drink water.
They used to care about wine more than
water in their life. SubhanAllah.
Now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
told them,
is it it's forbidden
to drink alcohol for a certain time during
the day?
What was the time?
They are not allowed to drink alcohol during
the day.
Yes. Good job. During prayer.
The
the purpose here,
you know, to to realize what you will
ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Because if the
person is drunk, he might ask Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala for something to harm himself.
Yeah. But he's responsible
because
he did this action by himself, and he
is responsible of the consequences
of his action.
And this is out of Allah's mercy.
Oh, all believers.
If you decide to go to pray,
you know,
prevent yourself from alcohol and the wine
ahead of time before salah.
To concentrate
and to focus
during the salah,
how you will ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
But how many times that will drain?
Five times.
Now listen.
Five times a day,
and at least you need to quit 1
hour before
salah,
and you have your name, proximity,
maybe 5, 6, 7 hours everyday,
it's forbidden
to drink alcohol.
Now Allah
prepared
the companions of Rasulullah Until
Sayidna Umar said, O Allah,
Allah.
O Allah,
tell us
about something
in the, the wine and alcohol. Is it
haram or halal?
And
Allah which
which stage that we have right now? We
gonna go to the 4th stage which is
the final
stage that Allah
forbid. In Surat Al Ma'ilah, Allah says,
If you count yourself among his believer,
listen.
Among this believers, listen to this
from Allah.
Yeah.
All you who believe.
Indeed.
In number and at that house.
The wine, alcohol,
and gambling, and the statues, and
the items.
When I'm sorry, what Islam
Islam,
you know, it's a kind of game
also to tell about future.
You know, the psychic, when you go to
the psychic and tell tell her,
you know,
I'm planning to go in trip. Should I
go or not?
And they used to cheat people and to
deceive people to take their money, And they
have 3,
different states of war.
And wrote one one state to say go.
Another state to say don't go. And the
third one, they leave it empty.
To have more chances,
you know. And every time when you apply,
you pay money for that.
And they they throw these sticks
when they pick it up. If the one
has
dupe,
she will tell them, go and you return.
But she doesn't know anything. Just
the
she tried to deceive people and take their
money. When they when she pick up, the
the one say, don't go.
Told them, don't go when you return. It's
danger for you.
And if she picked up the the one
is empty, and she will tell them, you
have to
repeat it again. You have to money,
you have to pay the money again, and
repeat it again. Anyway, Allah
mentioned that all these kinds
are forbidden. It's not permissible for believers
to deal with.
And Allah mentioned one word.
Avoid it. That's it.
It's more than enough.
If we do believe in Allah
we only need one word from Allah to
quit,
and to
stay away from bad action.
Stay away from
bad position with with with Allah.
And
there is one scholar he
he compared
between
the Quran
and the constitution
or the American law. They they he tried
to figure out, you know,
why people really,
respect
the Quran and the verses of Quran.
And they did not respect
the American law.
And he did very,
unique way to compare between both of them.
And he said, America
spend a lot of money
to forbid
smoking.
And they did a lot of research, a
lot of seminars, a lot of, you know,
mohabahat.
And they
they established the law
to to put people in jail if they
if they
smoke.
And in the end, they give up. They
couldn't,
you know, force
the law because
people, they did not have something from
inside
To help them out to submit themselves.
And he compared and he said, just one
word in the holy Quran.
It changed the life of
the companions of Prophet Muhammad
or
avoided. That's it.
And this is what when we when we
come back to our topic,
why is it forbidden?
You know, Allah
doesn't need to punish us. Some people would
take it. Why Allah really make it difficult
for us?
You know, he make it difficult for us
because he loves us.
If you
figure out the consequences
of any
wrong actions that he will deal with,
you will you will wake up.
For example,
or.
SubhanAllah.
And
Nabiya Sallallahu Alaihi Salam named alcohol as
The mother of
bad things.
Why?
You know the hadith
that, prophet Muhammad
mentioned that Imra'a minbani Israel,
a lady from
the children of Israel.
She
made temptation for a man to commit a
battle with her. And he said,
Makes sense?
And
she used
the other
ways to to attract him.
She gave she offered him,
you know,
some wine to drink.
And what happened after that?
It's
easy
way. Because he has no control for his
mind anymore.
And this is
when you look at the consequences
of drinking alcohol or
wine or drugs, the same the same way.
The person will lose
control for for his mind and his body.
But still, his or her
responsible
of their actions.
Because they choose to that to do that.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala
is
very just.
If you do something to harm yourself
without intention, you didn't know this is wrong,
Abba might forgive you.
But if you know this is wrong, and
you you confirm it, and you did the
bad actions, and you you receive harm
in your body or your mind,
and you still,
you are responsible
because he loves us. He doesn't like us
to have a bad situation.
Even financially or
emotionally
or even spiritually,
but physically,
any kind of
harm,
Allah wants to avoid
these bad actions
and these bad situations,
for for believers.
And we if we do believe in Allah
we have to be happy. We have to
submit
ourselves completely. We have to be satisfied with
Allah's command. When Allah said, this is wrong.
Don't don't do it.
Some people would say, you know, we have
to avoid bad actions because of the consequences
of bad
actions. No. I would say, no.
We have to submit, but we will have
to stay away from bad actions because Allah
demanded us to do that. Even if we
do know the the wisdom behind that or
not.
But we have to trust Allah. Allah told
us, stay away from
Allah, stay away from. Stay away from drugs.
Stay away from drugs. Stay away from drugs.
Stay away from car. Stay away from zina
or adultery.
You know? Some somebody used to say, you
know, haram is very tasty.
Yeah. Well, one one lady, she asked my
wife. She's she was dealing with the bad
action. My wife
asked me and, I answered. And
she respond to my wife who said,
SubhanAllah.
You you have to have temptation. Allah subhanahu
wa'ala
forbid us
for some actions, and he will put some
temptation
to to put people on the tribes.
It's not an easy task to say, Alhamdulillah.
I I don't like to smoke, and I
hate smokers.
You see what I mean? When we have
the blind person,
and he he cannot see.
And when you tell him about
how how this
woman is beautiful and has
very nice shape and
you know, it's it's not important for him
because he cannot see her. But for the
one who is able to see and to
look at her and to say,
It's not allowed for me
to, you know, to steal your your eyes
toward your sister in Islam or even to
non Muslim. You know, because this is our
religion. It's not allowed.
Make sense? You know the story of the
student
I mentioned last week or not. The sheikh
was
was teaching his students about, you know, the
first look
that it will be for you.
And the second look at the woman, it
will be against you.
And when the Sheikh finished the teaching,
and he took his assistant or his, you
know, the the the student who's helping him
out, carrying his stuff, and he went to
the market outside the bat mazkit.
And the Sheikh noticed
that the student was looking at the woman
and he was, you know, following her. And
subhanallah, and he turned his
his his, body completely.
And the Sheikh said, what's going on? What?
What you are looking at the woman like
this? And he said,
Sheikh, just you told us. The first look,
it will be for us. And the second
one, it will be against us. I don't
like to lose the first one. And this
is why he was, you know, following the
the baby
Try to cheat Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Yeah. You have your own.
Yeah.
We might have the similar situation sometime
in different formats,
but we have to revise.
You know, we are dealing with that al
al
al al al Qasir. Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. We
we have to realize that Allah is
seeing us. That Allah knows
a
He knows the secret
and even what whatever behind
the secret. He knows that.
Makes sense? And when you have this mentality,
when you have the mentality of this way,
you will have peace of mind because you
are dealing with
not with the people around you. And this
is, for example,
like we mentioned about wine, drugs, alcohol,
zina, abadji.
You know?
Even
Allah
did not say, do not
do this. Did Allah say, do not do
not deal with the?
What do you think, brothers?
It says,
did Allah says, don't
do Don't do about it. What did Allah
say? Don't get close to it. Don't get
close to it. Why?
Because he knows what it leads to. Because
he knows
if we get into the point, somebody would
say, just yeah. I know. It's,
You know, it's it's innocent
innocent look. SubhanAllah.
And what?
Nazarab.
Why why is Haram? Why I I really
need to understand.
Why is Haram? Why is Haram? Why
is forbidden?
Who can answer me? Why is it Haram?
A Zena, particular action. Yes. Because it desensitizes
us? So say
because it desensitizes us. Say say again? It
desensitizes
us.
It's okay.
And what else?
Just raise your voice for everybody to to
get the the benefit inshallah.
What else?
Just
use your,
logic way. Why
is about
why about the Islam?
And and what what's the problem when we
we have
the, you know, free will and the people
have have free freedom to do whatever they
want as long as they agree together.
That's good point.
Yeah. Yeah. Now we will put a big
hammer to destroy the society later on.
This is very good point now. When we
have a child, has
he doesn't know who's your who's his his
dad.
Who gonna take care of him?
In our religion, in our Islam,
the father is responsible
for every everything
related to the family.
For his children, for his wife, you know,
for
he's responsible.
If you are able to get married, go
ahead. If not, deal with the suya.
Don't say, what what can I do, Sheikh?
You know?
Allah will forgive me.
Uh-huh. Sheikh, how about I have a question.
Do you think about, girls and guys be
friends? No. Just let us,
really concentrate with the with the the point
now. Because I really I don't I don't
like to lose you guys.
I don't like to lose your concentration.
Yeah.
We mentioned now 2 things.
You know, this is why Allah forbid
zeena or adultery.
The the the the the first point,
it's it's not
a clean
situation for the society,
which is which is greed.
The second
purpose
that we will have, you know, children have
no
fathers.
And they will
be a big hammer
to
destroy their society later on.
Because when we have a normal family,
the dad and mom, the children,
and they cooperate together.
They love each other. They grow together.
They and they
learn from
the parents around them.
And now you prepare them for for your
child. But when you have
a child
who doesn't care about anyone because
nobody will scare him
when he was young. Now when he grow
up,
no one will stop him. He will be
criminal. Subhanallah.
And the society will wish not to have
this example of children.
This is this is one one,
thing of
the the situation.
Why Allah
did not allow it? What else?
Think about it.
Disease.
Disease?
Yeah. It's it's good good answer.
Disease.
What else?
When you're marked, when you commit a sinner
and you don't feel guilty about it,
I think you
feel,
it's easily to commit other sins. Uh-huh.
When the person commit a major sin,
and he feels
guilty in himself.
This is good sign, by the way.
But when the person
feels
not guilty,
it's easy like when he drink water.
He will do it again, and again, and
again. And he become as a Satan. He
he will change himself
from human beings
to be
acting as a shaitan, as a Satan. Alas.
That Satan will use him as a tool
of the Satan after that. It's good point.
What else?
It will hurt you.
What? What? It will hurt me.
You will hurt? Yeah. Yeah. It's good. Yeah.
It will hurt you physically,
and also
it will hurt you
if if the the one of them
really has,
contagion
of any disease.
That, you know, they will wish if we
did not have this relate if they had
this relation before.
It it will be good for them, but
it will be late for somebody. What else?
Why Zina is forbidden?
Cause is what?
What that means?
Conflict.
Conflict.
For who?
I I understand your point, but just I
I need for everybody to get the complete
benefit. Good job.
For who?
They are not married.
We have a single
boy and a single girl, and they choose
to commit a voucher.
What is the problem for that?
You get it? You will find somebody
will will make it easy for especially for
young men and women. Subhanallah.
It's it's it's really a scary situation, my
brothers and sisters.
You will find some people helping you out
to do Masiyyah.
When you say no, I would like to
go to the Masjid and pray and they
said Quran.
SubhanAllah, terrorist.
But when you say, oh, I would like
to hang out with the girl and all
that. Have fun. Oh,
Go. Go. Go. Have fun.
So you see,
you know, when you're trying to practice your
religion,
you will not find help.
I accept it from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Allah will help you out.
But when you try
to to do something bad,
you will find everybody
encouraging you. Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Go. You'll have
fun. Enjoy your time.
But instead, it's it's not allowed for us.
Sister, you raise your hand.
Yeah.
Why?
Do you know
why we have
in our religion
that the woman should wait
after divorce
3 months
or after death
of her husband
4 months
10 days. Why?
What?
Say again? To see if she's pregnant.
It's what? 111
thing, but it's not everything. It's good good
answer. What else?
Just think about
it. It's it's main answer. It's good. But
this is not the wisdom.
For what? Establish her emotions. It's good point.
Yeah. Good job,
Yes. It's good point. But what else?
She can get diseases.
*. Because like,
with me with me, with one more than
one man.
Yeah. Yeah. It closed. It's very good point.
This is what I'm looking for. It's Yeah.
So so the specifically, the second part, after
death. Yeah. So
It's
Yeah.
So so the specifically, the second part, after
death is to make sure that, I've had
To share,
the the family
of the husband. I know. But but we're
looking why it's not allowed to get married,
at least 3 months after after after divorce.
No. Not not to share the family, but
because it it basically
it kind of just the woman's body is
kind of cleansed of
of her other previous husband.
No. The body will cleanse everything after 1
month. After one time of period. The said
clear. She's not pregnant.
After 1 month, why Allah
make it 3
months or 4 months and 10 days?
Just, you know,
Do you agree with me?
Sisters,
sister. Like, so she can't breathe and, like,
die and
It's good point. Yes. It's good point.
What else?
Robert. She made a rash decision. Have time
to make. She made Divorce? Is it divorce?
If they're divorced, have more time to But
it's good point to to,
united them again. They might have a chance
to come back again. You know, Allah Subhanahu
Wa'ala
told
them, it's not allowed for you to to
go to marry, to to marry another man.
Maybe they will rethink
again to come back together.
To start their life again. This is a
good point also. But what else?
Subhanallah. The time is gone.
What else?
Don't you know?
Or
put it in different format.
Why is it
allowed for man to have more than 1
woman,
not allowed for woman to have more than
1 man?
It's good, Nash.
To know that the the the the the
product of the child. It's good. What else?
And this is, you know, the the the
the point that I'm looking for, but I
said it in different way to make it
easy for you to understand it.
Household responsibility?
Household
responsibility. It's good point to
match what else.
Now just
the spirit.
When when they had the relation together,
subhanallah,
only one kind of spirit
will go to the womb of the lady
or the the woman.
And
the body of the woman has a system
like a computer.
Subhanallah.
And will give the signal to the brain.
You know, this is the old, the the
chakra, the the
the food
for the body.
This is the same
sperm that we receive every time.
When the lady commit adultery with another man,
what will happen?
You have a new shafra now. You have
a new water. You have a
new sperm coming into the body of
lady,
And it will confuse the system of the
body.
And now you have 2
different kind of spirit.
If you have more,
it will be more difficult
for the body to realize and recognize,
you know, the situation
that she has.
And this is why
the ladies, they are dealing with the adultery.
They
might receive
cancer
more than anybody else.
Because
they they play in the system that Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala set up in their bodies.
See?
And but when we have only one man,
you know, have have relation with
the the the woman. No. Nobody else. She
will keep her body in good shape.
Yeah.
The hormones will stay in the same level.
But when when she open the door for
somebody else different than her husband,
now the problem will start.
And she might have a cancer
in any place in her in her body
because now the hormones is not
suitable in the same level like before.
You got it brothers and sisters? And now
we say, Allah
loves us, and he did not
make it difficult for us.
When we figure out the wisdom
behind
any forbid that Allah
made for us,
we will feel
satisfied with Allah
Do we understand the point?
The question that I asked in the beginning?
Why is it forbidden?
Yeah.
It makes sense for us or not yet.
Yes, sir.
Sister, you have a question?
No. You
never mind. I was gonna say, when you
can get cancer without giving that.
It's gay. But if you get cancer without,
disobeying Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you will be
rewarded for that cancer.
But if you cause the cancer
by the action that you did,
What what we think.
Allah
says,
Whatever you receive
from diseases or illnesses,
it's because
what you earn by your hands,
by your actions.
This is and Allah says,
for empathy. Allah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive
so much
more than what you did.
If Allah will count
every single action that we did,
you will not find any creature on earth.
Do you know that?
If Allah will count every single bad action,
we will do
yeah. You will find the earth is end
because no one will will remain on earth
because all of us are sinners.
But different level, different format, it's okay. But
we have to agree that we are sinners.
And if if Allah did not forgive us,
we will be among losers.
Do you agree with me or not?
Yeah. It it's different levels, but no one
of among among us is angry.
We are human,
and we are dealing with the Ma'ase.
We are dealing with the, even major sense
or minor sense.
But alhamdulillah,
Allah gave us,
you know, a lot of chances
to go back to Allah Azza wa Jal.
As long as,
you know, the sun will not
raise from west.
Or as long as, you know, the death
did not visit anyone of us.
This is only 2 time Allah will not
accept the repentance.
But any other time, don't hesitate. Don't listen
to Shai Afin al Answarjani.
Whatever you have done in the past, it's
okay.
As long as you,
you know, feel guilty and you feel you
repent back to Allah,
you will be in the safe side. Humble
you.
Is it
clear for all of us, sisters and brothers?
We might have some discussion inshallah after prayer
while,
eating. I know you are hungry.
But inshallah,
if you have a question
and if you have any,
thing to add,
we will we will let have a chance
to listen to every single one of you.
Yeah. Makes sense? Exactly.
Yeah. I'm done.
Exactly.
Exactly. That's right. That's right. For a event
now,
we're gonna,
have the
first,
and we will have the time after,
prayer.
