so my mother first apologize being a bit late got some traffic on the
way
so when third session and third Hadith so I think we're making
good progress
like we said it's Tao not how much
so we had left off with the hadith of Ns
rather long who about
oh, sorry, oh by the TIPNIS summit about Vega
correct
so we covered the first part
of the Hadith. And now we move on to the second part but before we
begin, I just
I would appreciate if we hold off the questions till the end.
I know sometimes things pop in people's heads and you want to ask
right away but sometimes you'll find that the question is answered
as we explicate and sometimes it's not so it's okay. But just in the
interest of time, I appreciate to turn them off till the end
inshallah and I'll leave time for that at the end
so
this hadith we'll just read it again
Bukhari Rahim Allah
when I finally did darling, I mean animated in Assam summer throttle
and who McKenna Shahida vedra or
Asada, and then also like sundown on how low Slava two minutes
heavy, the only other two Shrek will be late. While others who
want to test you want to monitor to people who turn in the hula
hoop in the ad Kumar judical wala tassel female roof from unwashed
mean confidential one Allah women are Solomon's Erica che for
ultimate for dunya for worker fertile
woman Asada Metallica, che so Mustafa Allah for Allah Allah
insha Allah and when she further they are now holodeck.
So I went in the summit Ward, which is the battle of bed was one
of the representatives of the Ansara the Olsen concert and the
night of October narrated the promissory Selim said in the
presence of a group of his companions.
Says large group I don't think it was that larger group.
Give me your oath of allegiance, that you will not associate
anything with Allah that you will not steal, that you're not
committed adultery, that you will not killed your children and you
will not falsely accused and that you will not disobey in what is
good. Whoever feels this amongst you. His role is with a lawyer,
whoever commits one of these matters, then gets punished in
this world. That is an explanation for him. Whoever commits one of
these matters, but it's shielded by Allah it is up to Allah. If he
wishes he will forgive him. And if he wishes, he punishes him. And
they gave his we gave our allegiance upon this. And we
corrected that last week but translation.
So I think we were talking about the things that they had given
their oath upon, namely that they don't associate partners with a
law nor do they steal
northern a foreigner, Kate, Northern, they killed their
children. And we I think we left off there, right.
So the next one will attack two people then interpreted Luna who
been a de con.
Did we talk about one last time?
did write I remember, we said we defined both? And we said that
it's one of the sins of the tongue.
Right, and one of the sins of the tongue. The specific thing about
this particular sin, unlike backbiting, for example, is that
also it's done publicly in a public way? And it's done to
humiliate someone.
So I would probably say it'd be something like slander, probably
the closest English word.
And when we say Sins of the tongue, we don't necessarily mean
just things that you actually say, in any way that things can be
communicated is what's intended. So whether you write it or whether
you put it out
Social media or you know, whatever way it might be.
It's all falls under the same rubric of what then to slander
someone to
not only say something false about them, but say in a way to
humiliate them, to cause them major embarrassment or two
cues or character assassinate them.
Now here, when the Prophet SAW I send them in the Arabic phrase,
def, the Hoonah, who and if there are means
to falsely accused, that's if there are
to make something up
being a decoy monitoring.
This part is not translated, because it's a it's like a
metaphor.
But it literally means between your hands and your legs.
And this kind of a variety of meanings. One of the meanings is
that even though Bhutan is a sin of the tongue, the way that it may
be spread,
from one place to the next is people carry that. So it's kind of
giving an indication to the idea that
once you plant a false rumor, it can spread very quickly. And
that's why,
you know, it's, it's associated with what we're looking at major
sins here stealing and associating partners with Allah and
fornicating. These are very major sins. So you might ask, why is it
associated? Why is it in the same grouping as these things.
And one of the reasons for that is because it's not just what you
actually made up, but the way that it spread, you can completely
destroy a person. Right, and then very difficult for one to gain
one's reputation after the fact.
Right, even nowadays, when a newspaper misquotes, or says
something wrong or mentions the wrong name about someone, the most
you'll get out of it is some correction on page 12. Whereas the
headlines was that particular thing that they're not going to
put a headline about correcting it, it'll be a correction
somewhere in the end. So it's never going to be good enough, you
can never really correct that mistake. And we've I think we
mentioned last week, if you read surah to know,
that talks about our issue of the law and and the prevarication of
the lie, harder to tell if that was made up against her. The Quran
condemns those, not just to spread it, but those who would like it to
be spread
or a buena and to Shell fascia. They love for the fascia for this
type of false talk or this corruption, to be spread for
novena, amen when the people that believe.
And it's Oh, it's it's traditionally been one of the
tactics of those who want to disparage someone and they don't
really have anything negative to say about them. So they try to if
they're in a position where they're there are
the person who's being disparaged. If they're in a position where
they bring some change, oftentimes, there'll be resistance
to that change. And so they'll attack the character, the person
before they because they can't really attack anything else. If
you look the way people attack Islam, for example, usually they
attack the person of the Prophet homicide,
because there's nothing really for them to grab on to, except in his
person. And that was the way it was in his time. Because they
called him a magician, they called him a soothsayer, they called him
a liar.
And even nowadays, people will attack the character of the
Prophet SAW.
So this will then have to Luna who's making it up.
And I should mention also, if someone
does that to you, the solution is not to do the same to them.
So if they spread false witness, a false rumor, they
accuse you of something that you're completely innocent from,
the response is not to do the same to them.
Right, the Quran says that whether you steal say, well, it's just
obviously it hasn't was it fabulous to hear
the good deed and the bad deed are not equal. It's that they let you
hear us and repel with a good deed.
Right didn't say repel was a bad deed repel with something good.
And if you do a bad deed yourself the Hadith says it's bad. Sal has
an attempt to follow a bad deed with a good deed and it will erase
it
So we don't have this Machiavellian approach where the
ends justify the means. And if someone does something to us, then
we do the same to them, and so forth.
I remember I gave a football a long time ago, over a decade ago
in New Brunswick. And I think I was talking about
something went about the Middle East and children were being
targeted or something like that. So I said, under no circumstances,
so any Muslims ever target any children, no matter who their
parents are, or what they have done and things like this. So
someone came up to me after the football, and he said, Well, they
kill our children. So we should kill there's
I said, since when? Since when do we go by their Sharia, we go by
our Sharia, and our Sharia says we don't do that doesn't matter what
they do. So the basis of character, the basis of law, is
not a reaction to what someone else is doing to you. But rather,
it's an internal state that you have no matter what happens
outside.
So the book 10, or the if there are between your arms and your
legs, that's one possible meaning another possible meaning they
said, what is between your arms and your legs is your heart.
So before you actually say something, it's usually based upon
a state that you had insight to begin with, because they are
volatile ethnobotanist. There are outward sins, and there's also
inward sins. And the inward sins are what push the outward sins. So
someone is not going to do that. Slander someone or disparage them
that way, unless something's going on inside. That's not right.
So if you have Hecht, if you have any material, rancor, you have
jealousy, envy, has said these things, then they lead to these
outward sins where you actually go the next step and say things with
your tongue. So that means that the way to actually fix that is
not just by stopping from saying certain things, that's definitely
a part of it. But you get to the root of it, and the root of it is
the state of your heart. So if you if you weren't a jealous person to
begin with, if you weren't someone who
wants has a will for people in their heart, right? If you took
that away, then the outward sins are not going to manifest
themselves and not going to happen, because you've removed the
cause. And so being an ad,
is pointing to what could be the cause, namely, that it's the heart
that begins with this after all, right? And how many of the times
probably we can recount in our days, that we think about things
we want to do to someone for what they did to us may not act upon
them, right. If you have a little bit of taqwa, a little bit of fear
of Allah subhanaw taala, then you don't act upon them. But the
higher state is that Katerra that thought to begin with, doesn't
come or if it tries to come from Shavon or from your own
deprived, so then it bounces off and goes away. So ultimately, you
want to be able to be in a state where these things don't affect
you to begin with. That's the more complete that's come at
well, that's how Sophie maruf and that to disobey in what is good.
So the roof,
right? It's the same word from Alfa Yahoo. Marathon,
also are similar word.
It means that which is known literally to know something.
That's what Matt if it is to know. My rule means that what is known
as to be like a common good, it's known by everyone. Well, 1000
Females are the ones that which is considered to be good.
And so you would not disobey in that.
Right? It could have sufficed to say, well, I tassel Don't disobey
the Prophet. So I said, Don't disobey Allah. But it said,
tassel, female roof in that which is considered good, which is
indication that the Sharia, the lawgiver, is not going to point to
anything. It's not going to command you to anything that's
inherently bad. Nor is it going to prohibit anything that is
inherently good. It doesn't exist in our Sharia.
All that is haram. All that is prohibited is bad. It's hobbies,
and all that is good are commanded to is thought in of itself, in of
itself, whether there's a commander with a simple
proposition there.
In other words, our studio doesn't have what's called Nicola Nicola
means sort of a punishment.
You know, we're tight you bet we're good things can be
prohibited based upon previous behavior. The Sharia of the
children of Israel has that many is somewhat illogical
or Quran mentions for between women and Latina how to how to run
now I lay him by a baton or inlet level for the Saudi Man City like
a zero, West River.
Right so it says Fabi husbandman because of the oppression or the
wrongdoing Alladhina Haddad
they are hood, the Jews are the venue.
The ancient ones, not the ones today the Ancient Ones we have
prohibited from them tight you bet.
Pure good things. So in their Sharia for example, they certain
things they couldn't eat that we can eat, like ducks and goose and
geese, things like this that was prohibited the meat that was right
next to the bone as the Quran mentions was prohibited from them
from eating
they were only allowed to pray in the Mojave
would which is their prayer niche their prayer space, if they
traveled, they have to come back and make up all their prayers. If
something of law Jessa something impure got on their clothing, we
just wash it off they actually had to cut it out or not discard the
garment to begin.
So these are talking about right but because of the bone by these
things were made haram haram that I can tell you that
we stopped them and CBD like if you know I can rebel. So it
mentions the things that they did. And one specific thing that they I
mentioned is
eating usually based transactions
so that means faster fee model is also I believe an indication that
we don't see ourselves like the many Israel eel as a chosen
people.
Right? Because we're talking about what's model. We're only chosen a
lonely chooses us in as much as we choose to do the right thing. If
we don't choose to do the right thing. There's nothing special
about us. It's not inherent in us.
Right when the Quran says,
tikka Hi roomette in Aqua digitally Ness, this is the best
Amma, the best nation community that has been put forth for the
people. It doesn't stop there, it gives an attribute of who those
people are, that will be the man who he will turn around and monka
will took me no no be left. Right you enjoying the good, that will
not be the model, same word model was then held on in monka. And you
prohibit the munkar. That which is in of itself is corrupt.
What to me, I've been there and you believe in the last panel that
then you can make.
Not even at that point you make a claim. But you can say maybe this
area might apply to us. But to say that we're you know, we're
special. We're chosen ricotta because of
who we're affiliated with, or who our parents were, or even who our
prophets I send them was
even who our profits are. So what I mean by this, when you say I am
from Ahmed Mohammed, so I sent them and you mean it in a sense
that I am just merely on the basis of my affiliation? That makes me
special? No, that doesn't make you special makes you special is if
you follow Mohamed salah, or if you love Mohammed Salah Salem,
merely saying that I belong, just an affiliation. Right? That's the
type of tribalism like when people get offended, that's my prophet.
Why don't you get offended when they disparage Jesus? He's also
your prophet, or Moses or Abraham or David Solomon.
They're also your prophets. Why specifically Mohammed sighs Well,
he's my prophet my in what sense? My that your little tribalism your
tribe? So you're the tribe of Islam. We're not the tribe of
Islam.
Right? We're not an idea that ideological tribe we're not an
ethnic tribe. Islam doesn't know specific ethnic tribe or an
ideological word. Islam knows following a lost battle to Allah
and His Prophet. So I said
so tall Sophie model, that which the Lawgiver which the Sharia,
either via the direct commands of Allah spelt out in the Quran, or
what has been conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad SAW and
that's the model
and it's always good enough itself.
If you have an issue with something,
something of the of the commands of Allah subhanaw taala. Then the
proper etiquette is
to question yourself not to question to really
question yourself, question your understand, initially,
to have a question is nothing wrong with that? Something you
don't quite get? You don't quite understand. Why does it have to be
this way?
Recently I had
sister sent me a message on.
She said that I don't understand this.
You know, when when a woman's husband dies, and then she has for
months and 10 days that she's supposed to leave Xena and she's
sort of supposed to spend every night in her house and not go out
and I don't understand all of that it seems like oppressive and she
was long list of things of Washington think it's right.
I don't I don't have any issue with your questioning. That's
perfectly legitimate. But the approach, right to see, you know,
to declare oppressive to nuclear this, how can this be right?
Rather than questioning the ruling question yourself, say, how is my
understanding? So off? If I think that maybe I gotta, I gotta fix
something about my understanding, or maybe I don't understand the
ruling, maybe it's not what I think it is.
But instead of people just jumping in, we're living in an age of
nihilism of narcissism and everything is relative. And it's
more about me and how, how I feel about it, and how I react to it,
and what's good for me. And so this is we're surrounded by this
and so this attitude when it comes through in our practice of the
dean, frankly, it's it's very ugly, right? Because the dean is
about, not about you so much. But it's about you and Allah subhanaw
taala.
And then when she put you in Allah, well, I'm so what does that
mean? I'm not saying it's really about Allah. It's not about you.
If a man was firming, Khufu, Allah Allah, so whoever fulfills this
amongst you is reward is with Allah.
In other words, fulfills all that was said before leaves out all
these things.
You might ask well, why the specific things? Why didn't he
solo I said, I mentioned, you know, they're all actually
prohibitions, none of them are commands, there are things to
leave, things not to do. And as we said before,
the Prophet SAW Selim in his early mission was more about Nasara than
Beshara.
He thought our means he was for warning, he was inviting people to
toe heat, he was giving them
instilling with him the concepts of low heat,
make that strong.
And then what takes precedence is avoiding things that are that
object or heat, obviously, like ship like Association partners
with the last panel data.
So over fulfills this amongst you then his ward is with Allah Spano.
Woman, Solomon dedica, shaken for Oakley, Buffy dunya for conferral
to Allah. And while she was amongst who is working with a lot
over commits, one of these matters that gets punished in this world
is an expiation for him.
This particular part.
Most of the automat derive a particular principle from it,
namely, that if one commits one of the sins that is punishable by the
shitty by an Islamic court,
by a judge, not by the vigilante group, in whatever province, the
tribal elders have declared it no but by a legitimate Islamic court
Islamic judge. Then it says if that sin wasn't committed as
expiated, and then Allah subhanaw taala will take him to task in the
next life.
And it's for this reason that some of the Sahaba would actually go to
the Prophet SAW settlement confess their sins, knowing that they
would face punishment, in some cases death.
Like in my uncle Samia went to the prophesy Center.
She was one of the people of the unsolved and she told the prophets
I send them, you know, I committed adultery.
prophesy, some turned away from her.
Didn't want to hear it.
Because she's not obligated to do that. She doesn't have to do that.
No witnesses came forward. She doesn't have to confess.
So he turned away and but she insisted.
So the next time she told him, he said,
she told him she was also pregnant, not by her husband, but
by
so
he told her, then wait till you have the baby. Then come back, if
you want. Otherwise, he wasn't obligated to come back at that
time either. But she waited to his patient nine months later, or five
or six months when she knew she was pregnant. She came back later.
He said, Well, you have to feed the baby, wait till the
breastfeeding period is finished. That's like two years ago when she
came back, she insisted. And so based upon her insistence, they
had to apply the hat punishment, which was death by stoning.
So one of the Sahaba when he was throwing the stones you said Lana
Allahu Ali, he was cursing her prophesy, so turned to him and
said, that don't say that. If this woman still but her
repentance was distributed amongst all of the people of Medina, it
would have been enough would have sufficed to them.
So even in this instant, right when the punishment is being
applied, still
doesn't mean that the person is maligned doesn't mean that person
is damned, doesn't mean any of those things. In fact, it was
based upon her insistence that the Prophet SAW Selim mentioned this
otherwise it found her the bishop who had the principle says don't
try to apply these things. Try to find any doubt for matter try to
find any reason not to apply it. So people would come and the
Prophet SAW I said I would say to them well, maybe you're mistaken
maybe you didn't because for adultery it has to be actual
*. So we would say maybe you know you didn't really finish
and maybe you just started happening to didn't so he would
try to push people away from applying that nowadays we look for
the excuse to apply it completely antithetical to the shear and if
you think about how the produce these criminal punishment can be
applied it's almost impossible if you're going to base it upon
witnesses in fact, I am not aware in the Islamic history that anyone
was executed based upon for witness testimony
say I think
has a lot to do
with the fact that
we've developed
