Rahman Al Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah
Allah He was be woman while I welcome everybody to the Safina
side in nothing but facts live stream on a gorgeous gorgeous
Tuesday, first slash second day of Ramadan based on the different
communities. It's like spring out today you don't know what weather
you're gonna get these days yesterday was cold, windy and cold
and we all had to run to our cars after taraweeh but today it's nice
and warm and beautiful out and it's our first stream in the month
of Ramadan as you know we stream on in Ramadan at 2pm and we'll go
for whatever Allah wills because we're not jammed by any Salah
anymore as the hours changed. Keep in mind this Ramadan we had no
days in daylight savings time.
We're gonna have next or no, this is daylight savings. So we had all
of it and daylight savings. Next year 2025 We're gonna have 10 days
before daylight savings
2026 20 days
to 2027 the whole month, which means that the Iftar will be
around 630 maximum. Good. And then when that happens, you have short
days and long beautiful nights. For how long total we have long
gatherings in the masajid. And think about this being the
messenger for Iftar at 630 let's say on a Friday Saturday. We're in
the masjid at 630 for Iftar ego for totally, totally who is going
to be one but like 738 you can be done with Halloween by 10pm Right?
And then you still got all this time until we have seven hours
until fetch. Can you imagine that? So the winter Ramadan is something
else completely. Summertime Ramadan was something else. So we
Aisha 10 Right, we started we had 10 wintertime. So I mean
summertime, now winter time just imagine that you're going to
basically be having seven hours from the end of Tata we, in the
masjid in the attic. If until fetch a bottle we got to make use
of that time. So that's the first thing. Second item. I want to
thank the guys from Atlanta who came in Yeah, last time.
The guys from Atlanta, Masha Allah 20 guys came from from Atlanta.
They came to do an East Coast tour and they visited CIF yeah here in
mocassin. They came here they went to Philly I don't know where they
went to Philly, maybe Germantown masjid or something. But I don't
know where they went to Philly. But they went to Philly. So these
guys were, they always bring so Hey, Chief Latif there was bring a
great spirit and a great attitude and hate so much you know those
guys from from what we happen to meet at the cabinet. So you met
Yes, we met we met. So how about the how am I was with you is
right. I was with you. Okay.
So Ali for as it says in 2030. We will have to Ramadan's.
Explain.
Explain from Napoli pizza city.
How would we have to Ramadan's in 2030?
Trying to think
what she means by that?
Oh, I mean it to me, she's saying that in the calendar year of 2030.
Yeah, I got you. I got because our history year. That's, that's
interesting observation there. In the history year, it's 11 days
shorter, you know, this, the history calendar, the lunar
calendar. So you can calculate your life in two ways, right? You
can calculate by the Sun, Earth going around the sun, how many
revolutions of the Sun around the Earth? That's one, right. And
obviously, I mean, that sunrise, sunset, that calculation or the
moons. So the moon comes in, it becomes full, it goes out and you
have two days of darkness or one day of darkness. And then the moon
comes out again, by counting those you can get a year or two. So if
you count the solar year, it's 365 and a quarter days, which is why
we today we had the Leap Year, we added February 29 This year,
right? So the quarter day, every four years, we add a day, because
you can't add a quarter of a day, right? So you have to add one day
every four years. Took a long time for human beings to figure that
out. By the way.
Before that, they were always getting messed up. They could
never figure it out. It's the quarter day, you know slightly
off. So the Gregorian calendar actually got stabilized pretty
late in human history. 365 and a quarter days that came pretty
late. But what is a lot easier to calculate is the lunar calendar.
Right? The lunar calendar is simply how many new moons come up
every time a new moon
When it comes up and you count 12 of that, and that's end of the
calendar, however, that doesn't align with the seasons. So 354 day
year, you're going to actually cycle through the seasons. And
this is actually one of the wisdoms of Islam is that the
rituals of Islam Hajj, and, and cm, they actually travel through
the seasons. And as a result of that, every 33 years, it travels,
because it's 11 days shorter than the solar year.
So as a result of that, we keep shifting 11 days, 11 days. So the
fast if it was set on a solar calendar than all the Australians
would fast
in the summer, for example, and all the Europeans would fast in
the winter. So winter, the Europeans would get a fair shot
fared better deal, because they're fasting, a smaller amount of time
easier for them, right.
So that's not fair. Right? So by having a calendar that's slightly
shorter than the other calendar, that calendar shifts through the
years through the seasons. And as a result, if you live 33 years,
you will have fasted through winter, fall, spring, summer,
everything every 33 years it lapses. Alright. So if you're,
let's say 20 years old, and you're experiencing a winter Ramadan, you
will experience it again, in your 50s. Right, about 30 years later.
And same thing with the summer. So summer of Ramadan is are special
to write some Ramadan, because the schools are off, right. And so
those were special experiences that was 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015.
It was all in August and July. Right, first of all, like, it was
intimidating. Like the day is long, it's hot. And if you work,
it's intimidating. So you know what the funny thing with that, is
that the first time we had that, and I was working,
I actually overslept. So hold on the first day. But
psychologically, that made everything easy. Because once you
get past that, you're like, oh, it's actually not that bad. Right?
So you basically broke your fast at 830 in some parts because I was
in Connecticut 830 You broke your fast Tada, we start to win like
1030 Right.
But anyway, every Ramadan has a different flavor. Now, I want to
also talk about the the situation that we had with one setting
calculation not as an issue, but as the two so whatever the masala
so that in the future people have an understanding. So what ended up
happening having is you have your calculations stating that there
was no village visibility in the east, that partial visibility,
like potential for visibility as you go westward. Good. So then,
when you have a situation like that, and somebody makes a call in
the area in which claim of assigning an area which it states,
it's impossible to have the visibility, right, the calculation
say it is impossible to have visibility. So all I might have
different on this. Do we accept the testimony of somebody who says
something, he saw something when he actually couldn't possibly see
it? According to the calculations, some automatically accepted that
the Calculate the negative calculation, the calculation that
you cannot see, it
would override two witnesses. Others have said no, who said that
in that case? Right? Why not? Except calculations and total at
that point, right. So they they differed upon that. And that is
exactly where what we had on the first half of yesterday or two
days ago, where Saudis made a claim to a sighting in an area of
the world where the cow the visibility should have been zero.
That's what it was. That's why it's a contested sighting, right?
Because the visibility was zero, you should not know but and then
no other country had any sighting. So that is a contested sighting.
Now, really late in the day in the evening, two nights ago, a man for
the drama
made deciding and claimed to have set aside now 40 drama, we have to
remember his item is not nobody, right? He's a scholar. So when he
makes
a sighting.
The problem was that the news of it didn't arrive to people until
like, half a day later. And that was a problem. And then some of
the websites didn't cover him. Which is very strange. Maybe they
don't know who he is. Right? Men photo drama is a is a scholar from
West Africa. Gambia if I'm not mistaking his item who studied in
us her he's a Quranic scholar. He's an Warabi. To like he has
disciples would be someone like someone with disciples, right? He
takes them up the stage.
So he's not somebody that should have been ignored. But for some
reason the websites maybe didn't know him. Who knows what the
reason was? Right?
I don't know what the reason was, but they didn't they didn't. They,
they didn't publish it, even though he informed his his team
informed them. So that's another issue. So they had that sighting.
In any event. This is just the to have a concept of, of what happens
in those situations, whenever you have a contested sighting or
something like that, at that point, whichever side you fall
upon, no one can blame you. So yeah, I'm gonna believe them to
witnesses to upright witnesses over the astronomical
impossibility.
Is that No, no, it's in fashion. Okay, impossible. So they must
have seen a cloud or something like that. Right? Fine. So and
contested, citing whichever one side you fall on, it's going to be
valid for you.
Right to follow that.
Alright, what else do we have on that issue? That Zack covered? Oh?
Can you use Global? Okay, let's cover those issues. can use
calculations or not. So this is a federal, to us calculations, the
calculation of the new moon of the there's two cut types of
calculations calculation of the new moon birth. Pretty much nobody
goes by that. But calculations of the visibility. That's what I
think it's called the Mecca calendar. That's what that's based
upon. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, he's,
you can definitely without a doubt, use that to reject
deciding, right to reject a site. That's what we mentioned earlier,
using calculation to reject deciding to say, No, you couldn't
possibly have seen it according to the science, right? So you didn't
see it. So you must have seen a cloud or something like that. So
that's one thing. So the calculation of visibility. The
thing with that is that when you're in the Western Hemisphere,
every day, from from the time I've been here from 2012, to now, we've
had two wrinkles, two times only.
This is the second time Yeah, where the East had no sighting at
all. The first year, there East had no sighting at all. And there
was a sighting out in like Hawaii, like at 11pm, or not even a little
later than 11pm. I was like, okay, saved by the by them, right? So
that you can match up your vizier, your moon sighting with your
calculations. Now, most of the masajid are going to they go by
this Mecca calendar, and then hope that there's a sidekick. But they
announced it and they go by right. And, and pretty much they've been
salvaged. Even this one Vancouver, they had the Vancouver sighting
right now. So that's the operation that when when people have a
federal when a scholar gives a federal, it's very hard to sell,
you can advise somebody that it's a right federal or a wrong
federal, but if they're gonna take it, it's really up on the scholar
at that point. That is the nature of a federal a federal, is
something where you go against the ruling, because you say that
there's a dire need.
Right? Someone could say argue, is there really a dire need? Is
anyone really suffering? Right? But they say yeah, because people
need to know when to take off work, when is Eid, all that stuff.
So the masajid are doing it. So. So that's one thing. Now the next
question when it comes to moon sighting, what is the breadth of
space from which the we can accept a sighting? And we have difference
of opinions on this? So one difference of one opinion is that
you must share the night with those people. Which makes sense,
right? So if there's a part of if there's a part in Australia, where
they have a hole, their night ends, and we never had night while
they had night. So then why would their sighting have anything to do
with us? Right? That makes sense. All this is it's you had a
scholarly effort. The other one is what you said check Ramadan
booties Festival on the line of longitude. How far across though?
That's the line, like UK and Morocco. Okay, the line of
longitude. If you're on that same line, then you share a sighting
with them.
The arson is just your local sighting. Right. The origin of it
is your local sighting that was that beat that. So the question is
the ultimate say is the original question. The original sighting,
they only went by the local setting of their village right,
their town. But the question is, is that because of a sacred
reason, or simply that that's all they had access to? And that's the
point of difference.
Interesting. What do you say? Yeah, come here and said.
You mentioned yesterday that the reason why there's the global they
use the local citing Yeah. Is because the dean is meant for the
general public, like it's meant for everybody. So that only
For talks about calculations,
or scientific tools, only scientists understand those
Correct? Yep. So it can't it can't exclude those people. And then
what I'm thinking about is why would it only be local? Is that
you can't expect a message of a sighting or report of a sighting
from Vancouver to get to Jersey? There's not a ticket everywhere.
Yeah. Because it's just in a whole different zone. So you can't. And
what that implies that if somebody saw it in that same night
distance, then you had to have fasted. You were Michela for
fasting. Yeah, right. And that, but it didn't reach you. Yeah.
Right. But if it was in your town, of course, it's gonna be the
message is gonna reach you. Yeah. Right. So that's a good point.
Another point that goes again, is that the burden of transmission?
That's really the question, it's like, are we burdened to transmit
something and to accept transmissions now from everywhere,
that means I'm am I burden now to ensure that a sighting in Nigeria
or Karachi was by a reliable source, and my burden to check
that person, whereas if it's local, we can ask about it. If any
of the local people in our spinal msgid communities, you end up
knowing everybody in like three years, right? Someone makes a
sighting within three minutes, I can call someone and say, Hey, do
you know this person? No, I don't know. But it's also knows within
two, three, what do they call it? Levels of connection? Degrees of
connection? You can know if that person was afraid or not A Whole
New Jersey, you can say the whole New Jersey, we could say, am I
liable nuts to that for Vancouver? Am I liable to do that for Texas?
And my my responsible for checking the that person and that's the
strong argument for the local psychic. All right, so now the
question is,
maybe we could it could be split, where I'm not burdened to double
check, Vancouver or San Jose or whatever. But if it was reliably
transmitted in time, would then would I be reliable then? So yeah.
So those are the Messiah. And overall, when there is an error in
timing, it will never require a photo, in error in timing of
Ramadan, or Eid will never require Kufa may require a lot, right?
There are some Hadith about that. But you have to check your local
method and your cookbooks for that. But nonetheless, it would
not be sinful to make an error. Right in that regard.
All right, what are we doing here?
We're continuing to things that we want to do. And mainly we are
focusing on Tafseer of Quran because this is the month of the
Quran. And we're looking at the ayat that relate to sadness. And
the Quran has a lot of cures to sadness. And if you ask me, at a
very basic level, I believe that depressions that people suffer.
It's compounded sadness. It's like sadness on a matter, you didn't
treat it, then it continued, and it continued into became your
state. We have the word *. And we have the word MACOM. Where you
have the word in English, maybe it's a bit colloquial, but mood
and condition. Right state. So a Heil is something that comes and
goes without you without your effort.
It comes to you and it goes to you. So like sometimes you could
just
have a wave of a have come upon you that just out of your control,
but then it leaves you but I'm gonna come is something you work
at. You work at it regularly, and you attain to it. So you work at
being patient. You work at it, you work at detaching yourself from
the dunya is something you work at. Get you work at
having close your insula to the point that there comes a moment
where you're like 75%, and you're always in crucial 85% of the time,
you're always in Hoshi, who sure is focused on Allah Tada and Salah
with with awe and love. So that's a MACOM. Now, when we talk about
our outside of religion, outside of spiritual at a regular
emotional states, you can't always control your emotional state,
something can make you sad,
right? And then something can make you happy. But you don't want to
be a feather in the wind, you want to be more in control of these
states than not. So when sadness comes, you need to be able to curb
it and say, This is enough. This is that we're not going to go any
lower than this. And we're not this is not going to go on for two
or three days. We're going to put an end to it. Islam helps us
monitor these moods so that you don't become a feather in the
wind. And then a mood takes you and controls you then that's it's
slavery. Okay, so Dr. Lazzaro come on it mashallah, who do you have
here? Ibrahim, Al who?
Oh, go panda is here folks. Come and sit you for those who are on

up talking about food right around the around the right
around the couscous is carrots and other stuff like that. And then
the chicken or the meat well however they cook it, you pick up
the bowl and the meatballs right off. Okay, on top of that, they're
gonna get you the Moroccan green tea, right? That stuff is it's
powerful that Moroccan green tea, right and he pours it like this

You will propose and get proposals. Ali Ali saying What
time is it in Jersey? It is now. Three o'clock. We'll have another
question. Yes. So one of the beat that I've been hearing recently
about come to tarot we saw like a rock cotton's when he records any
amount of records that you recite you pray counts for us today we
and the masajid are recommended to do to one
because that's what the Sahaba did. Recommended. And if they
don't do it, they falling short of the recommendation but it's not
sinful or anything. Chef is going on.
Hanif Hanafi call is that it's 20 or busts. Okay. However, how do
they explain then? Automata and Abdulazeez arrays Raistlin, even
the Prophet started with, right?
Okay, so we say that any amount of records that you pray from between
Asia and the time you go to sleep country has started with, whether
it's at home or in the masjid in a group or alone, whether it's with
a customer without a head to in fact, this idea of a customer is
new. The word cuts a means to complete, which means read. We're
going to be doing to help like we want in the message when you go
home. Read more like written. Oh, yeah, massage, you could do 234
columns if you wanted, right.
Let's read now about HOAs and sadness. We have solutions to HOAs
and folks to not let yourself get get get set. Right. And if you do,
we have solutions. Let me read you some of the prayers of the
prophets of Allah who it was of them on the subject matter that if
you recite these jobs, you can't possibly get set number one. La
ilaha illallah al Halim al Karim Subhan Allah He or Bill Arshad
Adim Subhan Allah Arab Samoa to sub a one a bit Arshad Kerim focus
more on the these Dickerson dua it's more than this the reason for
the sadness, so sadness can be totally out of your control.
Someone could totally ghost you, right. And you're like, Wait, I
thought we were friends. Or someone could just do an about
face on you for for no apparent reason that you know, right? He
just don't know what what reasons people have in their heads. Don't
even go there. Don't try just do that. Allah will take care of
everything. So let me repeat this again. La ilaha illa Allah al
Halima al Karim? Subhan Allah Rob Bellagio, la the Subhan Allah here
up this summer, where to sub A whare Bellagio Kareem. This is
from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet used to say this, when he was
struck by something in his heart, any massive matter or personal
matter or social matter? What have you?
How about this one?
A great sadness came upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
salam. And of course the prophets sadness is for extremely lofty,
you know, reasons our sadness is someone ghosted me, right?
Someone didn't talk to me, someone you know, just leaving me without
answering me. And I thought we were friends.
The prophets of Allah when he was telling them sadness was for
extremely lofty reasons relating to the dour and relating to nobody
accepting the message.
At thought if he had lost, Khadija had lost Apple toilet.
And he was now sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, without any support,
outwardly or inwardly. And he wants to tell if to extend to give
them the dower and they treated him extremely viciously and
rudely.
Even just from the, as elites, you shouldn't treat each other like
this. Right? You know, like in guilds, they treat each other a
certain way. guilts like lawyers. In a group, a lawyer will always
respect the other lawyer make sure that the profession is up. Kings
when they're with each other, they got to keep keep it up. Right, the
monarchies got to be respected thing today, all these like,
presidents they interact the same way senators never throw another
senator under the bus, stuff like that. They should have done this
too, because he's a leader in his people. And their leaders too.
He's an elite.
He's from the noble lineages, and they are too. So they didn't have
the respect. They were so disrespectful to the messenger,
and they were violent, and they sent kids out to throw rocks at
him, and they marked him. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam
said from his heart this this extremely powerful dua, which is a
cure for anybody who has sadness Allahumma inni escuela alayka
Baffa Kuwaiti, oh Allah I complain on to you the weakness of my
strength, what can lead to heal it? healty and the meekness of my
abilities, my plans. Well, how can you helenus And how easy I am to
be rejected by people. And that's how people feel sometimes they
feel so easily to be rejected. So easily rejected by everyone. So
that really hits home. Yeah, are hamara he mean? Almost Merciful of
the merciful and rubble, Masada Fein, YOU'RE THE LORD OF THE WEEK.
While Tara be and you're my lord Illa mentor Kirani unto Whom

prophets of Allah when he was salam here is teaching us turn to
dua number one, because he says here, DUA and there's so many
lessons in this. He calls upon Allah that he answers the prayer
of the desperate so pray with desperation. That's number one.
Number two, remember who's in charge of all things? Because he
says here, I don't fear Kola oak, right Maldon fear, hookah smoke,
all things
are not from people. Meaning what happens from others to me, this
person ghosted me this person doesn't like me anymore. This
person is not my friend. The prophet is taking us to a higher
ground. They're not doing it. It's Allah. Allah subhanaw taala is
responsible for this. If Allah is responsible for this, they're not
outside of Allah's control. They are in Allah's control. If Allah
is the one behind this, is he just or unjust? He's just this
therefore, this is just what's happening to you in the big
picture. Maybe this person is doing it in his mind. He's being
mean to you. And he's being nasty to you and he's being unfair to
you. Yes. But in the big picture. All this is good for me in the big
picture. This is good for me, and it's just and it's fair. Okay.
And we can sometimes go back to the bare bones of the shittier
bare bones or the shitty assets. Well don't Why did you have to
talk to me? By shittier? Does you have to talk to me by Shinya does
you have to smile at me? Right?
This is him. Oh, yeah. So does it all go back. Maybe Allah is
facilitating certain people in your life. He puts people in your
life, he removes people from your life for different reasons. And
then through different methods. He may make someone not like you
because of a misunderstanding. And all of a sudden that person's out
of your life, who cares about the reason, but they're out of your
life. That's a wisdom. It's a judgment from Allah Tada, you're
not being wronged. So this is where Allah elevates us here with
this belief. I'm not being wrong. I'm not a victim of so and so. No,
this is the divine plan, and it's perfect. That's how we view
problems. Once you view things like that you've taken yourself
out of the control of another human being. Okay? Number three,
call upon Allah by all of His Names.
Call upon Allah by all of His Names, someone asked, Do I have to
have a proof? A Hadith to call upon a different name? No, you can
call upon Allah to Allah by any of His Names at any time at any
amounts.
And then the fourth thing, the fourth Cure is the Quran. So this
dua here gives us four cures number one, the dua of the matar.
Mujeeb been more thorough that's actually in another the previous
draw. Oh Allah you are you answer the person who prays with
desperation. So that means it's not necessarily that Allah Tada
answers the one who's casual in his prayer.
Oh ALLAH forgive my sins and alleviate my hardships. You don't
sound like someone who needs forgiveness. Like you're You don't
sound like like that. Okay?
You need to ask like someone who sounds like they really need
something, they need help.
That's number one dot withdraw. Number two, how you frame the
issue, whatever is making you sad, it's not them. It's ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada who made that happen? For a bigger picture may be far
better, better for you that this happens. So I delune Fear Kedah or
whatever you judge, it's just and on top of that, let's say
hypothetically, Allah to Allah was descend upon you, someone who
hates you, aren't you His creation, he can do what he wants
with you. Right? And Allah only obligated himself to do to do a
couple things, he obligated upon himself a couple of things. Number
one, he obligated upon Himself that anyone who suffers anything,
they'll be compensated in dunya or extra, if there are Kaffir. In the
dunya. If there are movement in the dunya and or the ACA and
anybody who does anything good.
Allah is obligated himself to also compensate that person. That's
number two. So if a Kevin will be he'll be compensated in this life
in the after, if he's a Muslim, it'd be compensated in the dunya
and or the extra number three, any two people who harm each other,
they have to have compensation. So if you struck somebody or you
stole from somebody there has to be compensation.
Beyond that, if Allah Tala wishes to make to surround you with
enemies, you can do that. Right because you're gonna get your
compensation. It doesn't have to give you it doesn't owe you a
cushy life. So we have to go to realize that everything that Allah
is doing is just unfair.
Calling upon the names of Allah and then the Quran for cures so
far that we've come upon Well, I have an Allahumma in the hour to
be criminal him me what hasn't? We should seek refuge from sadness
and from anxiety every morning when we were sighted, what is it
Latif? And if you don't recite that you can go to Sophie decided

the will.
While Buckley will German buckle is being stingy.
And joven is being cowardice. While gala betta Dini will carry
region, rabbit to deign to be overcome by that will carry
regional to be defeated by other men.
What else is a cure for sadness? Sudha said Cofer Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was extremely extremely sad.
After the Prophet sallallahu after his son was passed had passed away
and this was in Mecca. So this son was not Ibrahim. It was Abdullah.
The prophet had a son before this named Al Qasim. He died.
He had another son that now there's difference of opinion
whether he had another son named. It's in the book here, another
standard name at Taha who died. But they say no that that may have
been the nickname of Al Qassam. So the Prophet had another son now.
And that son was Abdullah. He named him Abdullah. And this was
after the revelation now.
And that son very shortly afterwards died.
The Quran then started making fun of him and saying the Prophet
peace be upon him.
He doesn't have kids, he doesn't have a male heir. Something's
wrong with him. He can't produce boys, he only produces girls.
Okay. So on top of losing his son, his enemies, on top of that had no
grace and class and how they handled this.
And the Prophet was extremely grieved. Allah to Allah revealed
to him soon as had COFA and just recently been talking to
have you ever been hammered?
And he said, This the cure for sadness, is for someone to recite
to little co author constantly until their sadness goes away.
So I said how many times he said what, whatever is easy, 10 times
50 times 100 times whatever comes easy, easily to a person to
recite. Sudha said co author in outline I could co author because
what is the meaning of the surah? Verily, we've given you a co
author and co author.
It has two meanings here. Number one, it's the name of the fountain
on the Day of Judgment. In front of paradise, there's a fountain
called that coauthor from that emanate all the waters of
paradise, but that is a fountain that the people after the judgment
will be at, it's almost like hatch at the end of Hajj and someone
gives you water, you've gone through this long journey and
someone gives you water you never thirst again after that.
And then the paradise the gates of paradise is behind this big
fountain.
So that's the first meeting the second meaning of a coda relates
to the loss what was the loss boys? The Prophet didn't have a
boy every man wants to have a son right? To train him to take on it
there's a joy to having a son that's different than having a
girl Okay? for men and for a wife it's the girl is different than
having a boy.
So Allah says we've given you a Kofa the ALMA say, that is Fatima
Zahra
Fatima Zahra because she is the one who will produce for you your
sons. You don't have sons but you have Fatima Fatima is going to get
you
two boys.
It also means you don't have sons but fall toma is better than any
son that you could have had right say to Fatima Zahra. It was so
close to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, and to the point
that they used to call her homophobia that she was so mature,
she matured so quickly that she would take care of the Prophet
peace be upon him.
There was none of the none of the children around the prophet for
his entire life did he stand up for when that child entered the
room except for Fatima as she was maturing an age?
She was almost like an adult with the prophets of Allah who it was
Saddam who would stand up when she came in the rank of Fatima Zahra
is
there is nothing
that compares there's no woman that compares to the praise that
the Prophet poured upon Fatima Zahra and that's why there's even
a hadith that says she's the greatest woman of all of all, not
in her time. That's a hadith and that's what the batteries go by.
And I don't have that hadith in front of me but I can get if we
run a sermon you can pick it up I feel bad asking you to pull stuff
up on your little phone
let's let me show everyone the little gadget that you use there.
There's a school to the teacher mentioned on the side there's some
say that said if it was the first first one to become Muslim
she was excited about that. So * Sivan Look at the size of
this phone right here so I feel bad as Ryan Ryan recording audio
Gillingham right because when you're on WhatsApp with them you
never get a response you just get recording audio right and you wait
for it to come in at
gonna give you arthritis with that.
So I'll co thought is the fountain of paradise in other words, you
have an OMA yes you may not have a boy but you have an omega a
nation.
Number two you have Fatima Zahra number three you have the the boys
that Fatima will produce
So it's not just the boys. It's Fatima herself because the goal of
the role of a woman is not just to produce other boys, right? She
herself
is in place of all these boys that you didn't have. You didn't have
all these boys and there's going to be another one to come. The
Prophet has another boy named Ibrahim, he lives in h2 and dice.
Got
Fatima Zahra is more weighty than all of them.
Okay, so that's another meaning for suddenly layer a big one.
Pray and give charity.
solutions for sadness, your sad
work, turn your attention to Allah you don't want Why are you so
worried about yourself? You worship Allah, Allah should be at
the center of your attention. Okay.
And then charity. Look, when you give charity, what do you have to
do? You have to see the poor, right? When you when you see the
poor, you realize that oh my life is great. And I'm telling you when
we used to do the food runs, and we really should get back to them.
We do the food runs in Ramadan, especially in the summertime. And
we lay out the food at the park here in New Brunswick, where
people would come when my kids were young. They had never seen
people like this before. People walk in like with a toe sticking
out of a shoe. Right? Close that's completely dirty. extremely poor.
Mom's taking food from a stranger's hand and putting right
in their kid's hand
in their kid's mouth. Never seen anything like this before. For
suddenly a layer of big on her inertia and Erica Hill avatar. The
one who hates the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is
always cut off. That's a rule. That is a rule of thumb. In
reality, anyone who mocks the Prophet makes fun of the Prophet,
they will be cut off what does it mean? means
their lineage will be cut and it means their lineage will come to
an end and it means they themselves will be cut down.
They will there will be stopped. They will be stopped. Okay.
These are all
of God. What else? Listen to this record is very important.

Then there's yet another door, which is extremely important. So
man, you putting all these up in Arabic?
Is that you? Yeah.
Okay, there's another one.
Allahumma Giuliani female see Betty work polyphony. AKYRA Mina,
oh Allah reward me for this calamity that I suffered and bring
me a future better than it.
If a person keeps saying this, you start to feel very optimistic
about the future.
Allah whom God famously Bootsy grant me a reward for the
suffering. I'm suffering here. I'm suffering a loss. Grant me a
reward for this. Well, let me hire a min. And bring me in the future
something better than
suited faltered verse 34. We'll call Hamdulillah. A levy of Habana
hasn't. Quran says that people
there are some people in this life.
That in this life, there are some people who were going to live a
sad life.
Then they get to the day of judgment.
And they're ushered into paradise, like special guests of Allah. And
they go straight to paradise. And they stay will say Praise be to
Allah who has caused all sudden this to go away from us. All
sudden sadness and hardship almost synonymous because one produces
the other
and has on here, they say that it been our best says not only the
sad people will say this. The people who lived a good life in
this world. They live well in this world and have a minimal amount of
hardships and sadness. But they're believers and they're pious. So
they're, they're ushered into paradise to what they mean by
sadness is the great source of sadness, which is what the
Hellfire
So if not best says, even the one who lived perfectly in this life,
right will be thankful that the sources of sadness has gone, which
is the fear of *.
And hasn't also means death.
Qatada says sadness here, his death. Reason being is that a
person is sad, because everything in this life has to go away. And
that's the reason. Ultimately, the reason of sadness, the basis of
sadness is everything goes away. Right?
Pete things and ultimately life goes away. So when things go away,
their loss loss is a source of sadness. Death is the ultimate
loss. MacArthur says,
has the newly unknown candle lie aduna miles now Allah Who beat
him? They were sad, they were nervous because they didn't know
where they would end in the judgment. There isn't a scorecard.
We don't see a scorecard of our deeds in this world.
Right, we have to try to
if we saw a scorecard we'd fall into such bad habits. Right?
That's there's a reason for that. Allah could have made it that you
could see a meter where you're going to join in, you're going to
*, you're going to gender go to *, Allah Tada could have done
that. But there's a reason that he did it. The main reason is that if
you were going to Paradise, the people going to Paradise will be
very arrogant. And they fall into bad habits, right? They just get
so comfortable, that fall so deep into bad habits, they wouldn't be
able to get out of it.
And then they'd end up
going south. That's called the false sense of security.
We'll call it a crema who doesn't have the new was say yet the
sadness, that is a result of sins, and misdeeds.
Now we'll go flood the thoughts and fear that their their good
deeds wouldn't be accepted. Well, God at a cost him hosting the Zoa
Nam What's up label called?
Cause cost him said, the sadness here is the loss of blessings.
We lost the blessings of the dunya. So we were sad about that.
What now we're in the Africa and the blessings here, never fade.
There's no loss.
Another said, the sadness here is the calamities of the Day of
Judgment. On the Day of Judgment. There's the sins coming in
manifest form. In the end there calamities, so a person could have
a bear chasing them or a wolf chasing them. What was that wolf?
That was his own sins?
As Kelly said, says McKenney or his inner home for dunya min,
embryonal Qiyamah. So they said all the every possible sadness.
And this is one of the rhetorical methods of the Quran,
in which something is left general, and you fill in the
blank.
Who's the jelly?
Zed?
That's what it's called.
They named it that. That's why they call it the jelly.
It's a long story. This company called it that Yeah, but it's not
gooey. No, no, like a jelly bean. Oh duck, a jelly bean size of a
jelly bean. Okay, fair enough. But this one's called the atom. But I
call it a jelly because it's it's funny. Okay, but there's a bigger
one called the jelly the jelly the atom atom with a T like atom yet?
A to M size of an atom. I guess the next one is going to be the

sadness will be removed from a little Jana permanently. They will
never have sadness, also.
Jealousy, or euro. * or not right or maybe hazard.
We don't know if later will be removed in Jeff Jones or not.
Maybe maybe not.
I don't know that will a man have Ira over his wives and the day in
paradise? We don't know because of Ira implies there the existence of
evil. Right? Why does the man have a VEDA? What is the idea of IRA is
when you're afraid for somebody to harm something. You want to keep
them away from it. That's what Veda is. So a man could have
played a spouse this could have waited for one another. So if a
woman sees another woman chatting up her husband, she gets upset
because it's a fear of harm. So if there is no harm in paradise, is
there a Hydra? Hello Adam, I don't know about that. But there
definitely isn't hasn't there's no hazard. Nobody will wants what
anyone else has. Everyone is fully content with what they have, and
believe that what they have is superior. So much so the prophesy
centum said that the man who enters paradise lest the last
person ever to enter paradise. After you spending years and eons
in * comes to paradise. And Allah gives him your parents
Elsevier paradise is the size of the whole earth 10 times.
The man goes around says, Allah has loved me the most and given me
the most. Right. That's how he feels. He feels that Allah has
given me given him the most of all other people.
The judge says, a little Jana don't have unhung kolel Amazon.
Because all sadness is predicated upon the existence of harm and the
existence of loss. And these two things don't exist in paradise.
There is no loss, there's no loss of your looks. There is no loss of
life. There's no loss of memory. So stuff happens. Let's say you
had a child. And you're sad because the the childhood is over.
Right? There's beauty in childhood, there's like so many
nice things that happened in childhood. When you go look at
those pictures, you feel so sad, like those that that period of
time is over. And sometimes you feel sad, because like, I didn't,
maybe I've done something wrong, right? Or I had a short fuse or
something like that, or I was distracted. Sometimes you feel
guilty. That's a sadness when you look at those pictures sometimes.
That's why you got to do things right with people because there's
going to come a moment where it's going to be over. And years later,
you're going to look at those pictures. You want to feel like I
did it right. So I'm sad it's gone, but I don't have no guilt
feelings. I feel good about it. That's where good o'clock really
comes into play.
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Lisa de la ilaha
illallah wa Asha.
If you could go to him, we love Him and Sheree? What can he be
Adela Illallah en for Duna Taraba roussin, where coluna Al
Hamdulillah the other bandel Hassan the Prophet gives a very
optimistic Hadith here and say a statement here and he says the
people of la ilaha illa Allah have no loneliness in their graves. Nor
are they lonely
in the resurrection, and the Prophet said it is as if I see
them. It's as if I see them on the Day of Resurrection wiping the
dust off their hair and saying it hamdulillah sadness is over. The
era of sadness is over meaning the era of living this life is
finished now we live a permanent life with no sadness Subhanallah
washer washer also refers to that.
That
nostalgia that then sometimes nostalgia could actually produce
like a great amount of sadness because you're really sad that
that period of time is over.
Why do we have an astrologer because all the good things about
the past the reward of them will be planted those seeds are planted
in the Echota in paradise and you have them forever. That's how we
should look at it
let's go to suit its use of has an eye on sadness. Anyone else have
anything to say before we continue to move on? Yes, go ahead.
Zara luminous. Zara is the luminous Zahara sometimes it's
also it does have the meaning of a flower
flower. It's go to suit its use of which is the 12th Surah of the
Quran
it's gonna be right around Toba. That's 10th
Okay, I passed usif verse 84. If anyone experienced a lot of
sadness, it's the father of use of fire they sent up say nay aku
imagine you have the most
beautiful little boy that you're raising up to be a prophet. And
then you lose him
and you lose him to an unknown or unfriendly world
we'll call as whatever LAN home he used to he used to leave people
every time we think about use of he would leave everybody. So if
they were sitting together and the mention of use of came up, he
would leave he couldn't bear to be with people. What Allah and him
will call a SFR Allah use of and he would lament the loss of use of
will be at the diner. hoomin at Hosen is eyes became white.
Meaning blind. Out of sadness for Hawa, Kadeem. He holds the sadness
in himself and he doesn't complain to people. He doesn't go
complaining to everybody about it. That's the meaning of Kadeem. You
He holds What is
he holds those feelings inside?
That he can they are cool buddy he said I'm llama Bella who Kabara
Kabiru Binyamin
for karma hos new Hua Bella Tjahaja, who
when he had use of had a second son, use of sorry brother use of
and Benjamin were both from one mother named Raheel Rachel. So
where they were the name Rachel comes from the mother of Joseph.
Rohit, her name was she died shortly after she gave birth to
Binyomin.
As a result of that, all 10 brothers had a mother and a
father, but use of and Binyamin had no mom. So it was fair for
Yaqoob to pour extra love on them. All the boys, all of his boys have
a mum 10 Boys, they all have a mom, two boys, no mom. So is it
not? It's it's fair for him to give them extra attention. Now, if
you notice in the beginning of Sudha Jusuf, they said, they're
upset because our father loves usif more than everybody else. No,
it's not that He loves us more than everyone else, he has to give
him double the attention. Because the boy has no mom. That's the
reasoning because we're not allowed and shit. Yeah, you're not
allowed to give a, you have to be fair with your children. So time
and money and nice words and things like that things that are
in your control, you have to distribute them evenly.
Okay, the only time that you can be uneven in a distribution is if
it's based upon a result. Whoever gets A's gets a $50 bill, you get
B's, you don't get anything, you don't get punished. You get C's,
you get punished, you get deeds, you get more punished, you get
F's, you get very severely punished. So there's three ways to
get punished. And one way to get rewarded. That's the That's all
the ethnic households, they're like that right? A B basically
just means not punished. Right?
Essentially, that's the reward of the getting a B. So when you when
you have a standard like that, that but the standard applies to
everybody. Now you got an A you got to be you got to see that's up
to you now. But the standard was fair, because the reward and the
punishment applied to everybody. Okay, so so that that is an
example where you could give something
more or less to a sibling to a child. Another example is, if
there's only one thing to be distributed, how do you distribute
it, you have to have a system a, let's say it's a trip. So I'm
going to take the oldest one next chip, the next one next chip that
the youngest one like that, there's a logic to it. Or I'm
going to the one who has most Quran is gonna go first. One was
the next the most Quran, so on and so forth. A third way is by
chance. So let's say I got a business trip, I want to take I
want to, I can take one kid with me, we're gonna, we're gonna maybe
like everyone puts their name on a piece of paper and pull it out of
that next business trip. If you went on one, you don't, you're not
involved. The next two kids by chance again, right? Rock, paper,
scissors type of thing. So those are the ways that you distribute
things to children with it while being fair. So say they use yaku
was paying extra attention to use of because Yusuf had no mom. And
Binyamin was still an infant. So it's they're in a toddler and
infant, a little baby newborn, he's not going to attention it
means nothing to him, right. So he was pouring his attention to the
toddler to the boy Yusuf Ali salaam, two times more than he was
given attention to the other brothers. That's why they got
upset.
Now when Binyamin
grew up and ended up going to Egypt with his brothers, and then
ended up being kept by use of their use of how to plot and he
kept Binyamin. They came back without him and they say Binyamin
stole. We didn't know what to do. He stole he said Subhan Allah the
first son of Raheel one
and you see you claimed that the wolf ate him. Now he the second
son of Rahim right her second son, you lost him too. So he left he
got up from the the meeting the gathering, and he left and he
remembered use of and he said yeah as if Allah use of okay, yeah, as
a firm meaning where Husna Yeah, has no meaning.
What a great sadness. Essentially, it's an expression that Arabs
would say, in Arabic. Well, as I said, doulos LSF is the most
deepest form of sadness
will be at the diner. He became blind from how much he cried
Subhanallah
Hola Hola. Killeen. Mameluke Minal has a husband filled with sadness.
But he does mum sick. Well, I thought he doesn't speak about it
to anybody.
He doesn't he just said yeah as a valid use of, but he wouldn't go
and talk and talk and talk with people. It's not appropriate for a
prophet to do that. Nor even a righteous person to go and spill.
Like they say like just venting. It's not something that
a prophet would have done.
Tara did the hose know who feed JioFi Willem Jaco ILAHA however,
he only said what is good. This is Allah's will. We have subreddits
that are only say what's good only say good words. We'll call it

HDB Illa Yeoman taka Mao who Thurman Luna Iman
let's lurcher, Jeff finer Yaqoob wa ala watching all the Yeoman in
Accra mandala him in Yaqoob, alayhi salatu salam.
So this is not the most dominant statement, the most dominant
statement is that from the top from the day, the last time the
Prophet saw the child of use of St. Iacob saw his son use of until
he arrived at Egypt and saw him again 50 years. Others said 40
years and the time span between when Musa de Sena was guaranteed
his aunt his daughter was answered. And when it happened was
40 years. So the most likely was that it was 40 years 10 years he
spent
with Zuleika in the house living as a as a child from age seven to
1710 years in jail 17 to 2710 years ruling Egypt and by the time
they came another 10 years, so some say it was 40 years and
ultimately Allah knows best. Allah knows best about that. Okay, what
else do we have as of Quran? On sadness? Okay, there's two types
of sadness. First of all, in the Quran.
Iblees is the one who tries to make you sad.
Why is that? It leaves makes you sad because you become ineffective
when you're sad, you don't act. You don't want to move when you're
sad. When you want. When you're sad. You just sit there doing
nothing, and you go on your phone and you download chess.com That's
a sign that you're on a downward track, right? If that app is on
your phone, you have issues
and sadness, it makes you inactive and bliss wants good people to be
inactive. So he wants them to be sad.
Let's take a look at another aspect of it. If this is the case,
then why did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
all goodness comes out of sadness. Okay?
The answer here is that's a different sadness. The sadness
that makes a person have zoomed in the dunya
not desire this world anymore. And focus on the next life. That's a
different type of sadness completely. And that's good
sadness. That is a good sadness. That is a good sadness that makes
you realize this dunya is so short. This dunya is so
meaningless. Africa is what what matters, that you get that feeling
usually on your way back from a funeral.
When you attend a funeral, right? You there's a feeling in the air
that you know this is
dystonia. So short, it's amazing how short it is. It's it's such a
bizarre feeling. I realize how short dystonia is this person was
literally just walking amongst us. He literally lived and he was born
and he died. It's like a revolving door. Or the sadness. I'll tell
you another example. When you see someone after a long period of
time and they're all gray haired. Right? Like wow, life is like
passing by quick he got old, like really old doesn't walk anymore.
He's in a wheelchair. Like you. It's almost as if you've seen his
life pass by you and like a quick movie reel. You realize what is
the point of this? Dunya Why are we so upset about it? Why are you
upset you're gonna be gone. In a blink you're gonna be going to the
ACA and you're gonna be happy. And death for a believer is a
celebration. It's not that we celebrate death we want to die.
It's a beautiful thing. You're gonna die you're gonna see angels
for the first time you're gonna your soul is gonna leave your body
you're gonna have no age. You're gonna have no health problems,
because all those things are related to the body. There is no
ugly handsome like that your soul your soul only
between this life and the next life, your soul only there's no
handsome soul, ugly soul. Right? So all those things that make
people like worried about themselves are down about
themselves. They're gone. All these things are gone. Age is
gone.
health issues are gone. Wealthy and poor. There's no wealthy and
poor in the borders of wealthy and poor is by your deeds.
It's by it's by your a bed and you're thicker. And that's why
Allah says Yo my infoUSA penis, it's
the day that the pious and the truthful benefit from the
truthfulness. It's because in this life, you can worship Allah all
day and all night, it doesn't change your bank account is not
going to change your body is not going to change your lineage is
not going to change the way your face looks. You're not going to
have a worldly benefit from all those good deeds, go and volunteer
in the soup kitchen all day and all night is not going to alter
any of that stuff. Right? The rich will still be rich, the poor will
still be poor, so on and so forth. But the moment you die, you start
seeing all of those deeds. Now the makers made your soul in a far
better position and a far better location, you're able to go
further with your soul, so acidic, all those good deeds benefit you.
Whereas they don't benefit you here. You can't pay your bills by
going and doing it better.
There is of course exceptional Hadith about that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever worships Allah from the
time he prays feathered until the sun rises, right, the risk will
come to him faster than if he went to work. Eastern West, right. So
there is we don't discount that there is a bad that produces
wealth. But by and large, when you do something sincere in religion
such as testify truthfully, or help an old lady cross the road,
it doesn't improve your dunya. Right. So that's why Allah subhana
wa Tada said, when they die, when people die, their good deeds start
to benefit them. So that's why for us we have to look at if you're
righteous and you're in, you're trying to live a life of
righteousness, and piety, death to you. It's a movement from one
abode to another abode. That abode is far better and superior than
this boat, albeit, you're incomplete there. Because we're
souls without bodies in the buttock. And we're not meant to be
that we're meant to be souls and bodies. So we are incomplete. But
it's a superior abode. It's far superior, it doesn't have all the
bad things that this body has, and this boat has, then when you get
your second body, it's completely free. Of all the the the lack that
exists in this body. So this body, it's random. That body is not
random. It's designed perfectly right for everybody.
This this body, you have to take care of that body, you don't have
to take care of it. Nobody has to do exercise to be perfectly
physically fit with their body and Paradise.
There is no such thing as aging in the next life, there is no such
thing as dying in the next life. There's no such thing as disease
in the next life. There is no such thing as hesed in the next life,
so that body everything is going to be perfect
to great removal of sadness, just to think about Aloka and that's
why recite Surah Rahman, all description of paradise walk their
summary of Paradise and *. Summary of two levels of paradise
and one level of *.
To two categories of people, the good and the better. And the one
evil category of people go read suit, it's an insane description
of paradise. That is also extremely vivid descriptions
I'm telling you, if we just have 1%, European 1% contemplation of
Africa it removes 100 person psychological maladies and
spiritual maladies I guarantee you that
all right, let's go to the q&a
All right, lots of comments here. How do you deal with people around
you are always negative and complaining?
Oh, that's a rough
they choose that. I would stay away from them as much as I can to
be honest with you.
To be quite honest with you, they're they're choosing that
nobody that they may say, Oh, I have all these issues. Yeah,
everyone's got issues.
But it's a choice but I would persist in telling them be happy
and be grateful persist in that if you're stronger than their your
will is stronger than their will
Then hopefully it will change.
Alright, now it's time for q&a. If you had put your q&a above before
this, put it back down because
I'm not
going to scroll up. Is it permissible to shave the beard to
deal with acne and dry skin? And then grow it again? Yes, insha
Allah medicinal reasons should be accepted for that. On top of that,
it's a sunnah in the Shafi school. It's not, it's always it's
permissible to not do a sunnah for a reason. Can someone asked for
money for hijama? Yes, hijama. It's a service that they don't
have to do.
If something is a personal obligation,
then you can't ask money for it. You can't ask money to, to do
something that is an obligation, such as to be a witness. Let's say
a person is accused of a crime. And the alibi is that they were
with Ray in Google Panda. Right?
You guys cannot charge him money to testify. You're obligated to
testify that he was with us on the night of the murder. Right? So
whenever there is a flood Iein a personal obligation.
You cannot charge money for it. Let's say an imam in a mosque. He
can pray at home. Right? He could pray in another mosque. He doesn't
have to lead the prayer. At that time that you asking the masjid
wants in your mosque. He could pray the hood in another mosque.
He could breed the herd at home. But you want him to do something
he's not obligated to do he could charge you money for that.
Man comes to you says, Tell me about Islam. I want to take the
Shahada. You can't charge money for that. Man comes you say give
me the rules of Ted's wheat. I could charge you money for that.
You see, I don't have to teach you how to recite how to recite the
Quran. I have to teach you certain Fatiha
I have to teach you the how to pray I can't charge you money for
that. But anymore beyond the obligations and the Confirm
sinners I don't have to teach you.
So that's the that's basically the rule. Abu Bakr says What if you
face sadness regarding the fate of some non Muslims get busy do Dawa
to them use that sadness. Okay, like
you use that sadness as a motivation.
Does layering sock suffice for hoof in any method? Check the
Hanafi and the humbly methods for that because I think the Hanafi
say that if you could walk a certain distance with it.
Then they can it can be.
You can make we do over check the hunter fees but the Maliki school
it's leather the chef a school is waterproofness
okay, if you have Fidelia Oh, do you still give sadaqa? Or do you
focus on paying the fedora first? No, you have to pay the 51st
that's like owing Salah you have to pray the obligation first. The
obligation always precedes the sadaqa.
Do you have to join it today if it's a practice to so Wolf says
Lebron James.
If not, how does one practice itself? I would get started by
doing a lot of Salah on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam and Allah will guide you from there. Focus on the salah on
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and of course, Salah and
the messenger Peace Be Upon Him is the greatest Gela of Sn He himself
said he then yelled Hammock with a bum look. We offer them Look, your
sins are forgiven. Your anxieties are gone, your sadnesses are gone.
What is a Salah on the Prophet it is to say Allahumma salli wa salam
ala Sayidina Muhammad were early he was he was a limb or any such
expression in which you make Salah and said I'm on the Prophet peace
be upon.
A man runs wrote a book says Imam Al Ghazali. In Aloma Deen.
In which he used to say every time he'd say the prophets name, he
would write and remember books back then were written by hand.
There's no Control V. Right? There's no hotkeys that you could
put, you know, like,
the sun Allahu alayhi wa sallam symbol in one stroke of a key. So
he used to say Allahumma Salli ala or SallAllahu ALA. After the
prophets I send him his name. So that man he saw the dream of the
prophets I send them and in that dream the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said man I like to suddenly Allah Yahweh Allah to
Salam. Why is it that you make the law upon me but you don't make
sense.
In and from then on, he would write some Allahu alayhi wa salam
and another dream men did the same thing.
And then he said what the Prophet saw seven came to him and said,
Why do you leave off 40
So he went to a dream interpreter. And the dream interpreter said
will lie. I don't know what that means. He went to another dream
interpreter. And that dream interpreter said, I have no answer
for you. I don't know why the prophet would say why you live off
40. You went to another dream interpreter. I said, Well, what do
you do for a living? He said, I write books.
And he said, about the dean, he said, Yes.
And he said, What do you say after the prophets name? He said, some
Lilavati. Right. And he said, and you don't say, what's a lump?
Because that's four letters. Do you have 40 minutes for each one?
Well seen lamb me.
Right? Well, salaam sallallahu alayhi wa salam. So you leaving
off with Saddam, leaving a 40 Hassan at 40 has an ad for the
good deeds every time. You skip those letters. So that's what the
40 meant. The the 10 has an ad for each letter, because remember, the
Hasina is 10 times. Right? The deed, one deed 10 Hasn't it?
And the province I sell them he when he talked about sort of the
Quran, he said, I don't say that Elif la meme is one letter Elif is
a letter lamb is a letter meme is a letter? Well, it has to be
actually Adelphia
so each letter he gets a hasn't afford 10 times. So that's your 40
Is it better to read suits and Bacara every day or to make cuts
and once have the Quran is categorically better. But if
you're going to do recitation only then had some is better than
repeatedly reading one SUTA. But if you're going to choose between
recitation and have the Quran there's no doubt about it that
here's the Quran is superior. Okay.
Z is asking you a question you started with, let's say one
community fasting. And then let's say hypothetically you move to
another community or another community had a different method
of determining the month that ends up with you fasting 31 days.
That's acceptable. When the province has said the month is 29
or 30 days, that's the month. But if you move from one place to
another, and then in that move, the calculation matter, the method
was different. So one per one community saw the moon and they
started on let's say,
Sunday.
The other community didn't see the moon and they start on Monday.
Then this this Monday, community counts 30 days of Ramadan, plus
your Sunday that's 31 days for you. No problem because that
doesn't contradict the rule the prophets set the prophesy Sam said
the month is 29 or 30. If you move around or people have different
ways of calculating and you endo fasting 30 days just accepted from
you. You would fast with them and prayed with them.
That was a question from Z.
Community like in my
uncle's?
Insha Allah as long as there is a sighting in
yonder fitzer of Etn tell someone not to follow a fatwa. Right? You
can say I don't believe it's right. Or it's or whatever. But if
they're going to follow a photo, it's upon that Mufti. The
responsibility is on that Mufti common people will not be taken
account to that non scholars will not be taken to account for them.
Students of knowledge, they always follow me exciting, because
that's usually what you find. You find students of knowledge, they
fall in one city, and administrators, they take the
federal calculation because it makes your life easier. And who's
going to tell them no, that fits was wrong. Like who are you? That
scholar is bigger than you. So it's a matter of one of those
matters that
you're not willing, there's no one way to answer these things.
Is it permissible to say BJ Habibie Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa salam Bihac to say it in our lake?
Which hadith is it?
Jeep is it isn't
a jeep? It is permissible philosophy to say oh with this
when your belief should be it is that a right it's the right that
Allah obligated upon himself
rather than an absolute obligation upon Allah that's the only thing
about those things. When you say oh Allah by
the right by my right as a question or to you,
okay.
You always have to have in your mind it's a right that Allah gave
you or it's an it's an obligation that he obligated upon Himself,
not an absolute obligation.
Please make the word chosen for hedge says Bushra Beckham. We're
making a lot of draw to hedge it.
Why Allah grant you Hajj Everyone say, I mean, may Allah grant the
sister Hajj. How do we decide if it's halal to move to another
country?
Well
first of all, if you're living in an Islamic country, you're not
allowed to move to a non Islamic country except if you intend Dawa.
That's the rule. That's the rule. And as for anyone who's suffering,
they're suffering and they need asylum. Those are exceptions.
There are exceptions to the rules. There are rules, and there are
exceptions to the rule. So that's your first step. Secondly, moving
from one non Islamic country to another non Islamic country. Also
you should intend Tao and it should be better. There should be
better company there for you. We Muslims we seek the company seek
the schools seek the places where Ficus tot seek the places where
kids grow up reciting Quran every day, then hanging out with other
Muslims.
South Africa is the fit has fared the best of all
non Muslim countries.
The Islamic community of South Africa, if you ask me from just
what I've heard, has fared better than or better than the United
States better than England better than Canada.
There's only one reason for that. When they got there, those people
from India Pakistan, the first thing they set up was this the
daughter Allume for the kids, not Islamic schools, no door or looms,
where the kid has grown up Dalston, Islamic identity, and in
the recitation of the Quran and the Hadith of the Prophet
salallahu Salam and in the mosques, then seeing people
dressed as Muslims. And as a result of that
their identity was established. What did Muslims in America do by
and large put their kids in public schools, and then they could
scraps to get any Islam that he can get on a Sunday. And if he
goes to college, maybe he has a little bit of an awakening but
he's got he's fighting so much. Right? He's fighting such an
uphill battle.
Okay.
Can giving up a certain food or type of food for the sake of Allah
be a form of zoo hood? Yes, it can be. It can be if it's something
that you love so much. And you want to it's not that you're
giving it up for the sake of Allah that Allah wants that it's rather
your training your ego, your knifes, your training your knifes
the deprivation of the neffs when it's in it's in a healthy amount
not too much not too little. is very good for you to deprive
yourself so something you love every once in a while but be
careful remember double CD mentions this
all of the scholars have to self mentioned this Be very mindful
Be very mindful of excess in deprivation. Just keep that in
mind
Brian you're looking something up
been medicine this week? That means I want it because first of
all we take the weak we read the weak oh it's weak good so it's not
so it's not fabricated that's the only condition for an extra little
dot little draw here there little deeds that are not obligations
Okay.
When someone says it's weak Oh wonderful, so I'll act upon it
because we don't act upon the fabricated we act upon the weak in
these motors Allahumma in the US Alka be happy sir Ilene Alec will
be happy mamsa Her that for in the lemak Raj
ha both of us should on first one it says wala Batra Yes, I didn't
come out out of arrogance or ill will to anybody. Oh Allah I asked
you by the rights of those who are walk on to you and leave their
houses to your message it is what it says it all we've been added to
Yeah, what area and what so much and I haven't left to show off. I
haven't left to get a reputation to harm anyone. Or because I think
I'm better I left from my house to come to your masjid so Allah grant
me something as Luca and took the Nieminen nor save me from the
hellfire and forgive my sins
would you say there was one says well, there's the way we it was
posted on the wall that it must be how good are we being
beautiful Hadith beautiful Hadith to us when it comes to the
week in this definition,
not widely as followed or not as weak means the transmission of it
had one of the following problems. The chain of transmission was
incomplete.
One of the transmitters had a poor memory.
One of the transmitters was accused in his in his uprightness.
Or there's a sound a stronger transmission that contradicts this
hadith. Or there's a hidden mistake in the chain of
transmission, five things. So if it's missing one of these five,
it's slightly weak. If it's missing four is very weak. If it's
missing all five, it's threadbare. At that point, it could even be
close to fabricate. How do we establish something as fabricated?
This, the narrator is a known liar or he admitted to like, later on
in life for example. That's what a fabricated Hadith. So Hadith let
us Lulla. No origin to it is a Hadith that you find in books.
Nobody knows where it came from. So neither do we say it's weak,
nor do we say it's fabricated. It's less than weak, but it's not
fabricated. Let us know that we can't find the chain for this. No
one knows where this came from.
Okay. No, it has no origin. So
when it's a weak Hadith, if it's not for matters of obligation, or
prohibition, we act upon it. A weak Hadith says it's good to do
this. It's good to do that. Okay. What am I losing? Because it's not
I'm not saying it's an obligation, right? We're not saying the one
who doesn't do it is sinning.
How do you get someone out of the rut of being sad? What's the
initial step, take them out with a bunch of friends on a sunny day,
for some food for a walk. And then for a nice high dose of sugar, ice
cream and coffee, at the end of the day, and then keep walking and
keep talking and being with friends and then pass by msgid. So
you're gonna use the ingredients of sun, the ingredients of love
the ingredients of friends, chit chatting, the ingredients of food,
the ingredient of sugar, the ingredient of caffeine, right? And
always and say good things about the future talk optimistically
praise them say me, you look great. All right, all this stuff
like that.
You have to try to do that stuff.
If you do a better to wish away your sadness, but the sadness
continues to come back. What does one do keep doing it? But sadness,
sometimes it's the source of some darkness in the heart, then you
need to override it with a stronger worship, stronger,
thicker, more is needed. How much should I do in the outline? I
could go with it until your sadness goes away. If you if you
do it, and you're still sad, then you need more. Right?
How do you deal with the absent parents?
It's very hard to remember because it said we don't take our parents
to account so it's very hard to
it's very hard to really deal with that. You just you can't take your
parents to account really.
Because of depression says x 1618. I have not gone out of my room in
months. Lola. Okay, now, you have to force yourself.
You do have to force it, you can control your feet. Go out in the
sun. Right? Go out and meet people go out and eat ice cream. Tell me
something? Is it possible to be down than to go out on a nice
spring sunny day with your friends and eat ice cream and still be
down? At least for that moment of time you'll be up right?
At least for that period of time. These are blessings Allah gave us
these are medicines Allah gives you the sun is a medicine. Water
by the way, drinking a lot of water.
This is weird, but drinking a lot of water has an impact on people
drinking a lot of water. Allah says We made from water everything
alive. Depression is like a death right? brings you to life
are not good friends. Have you been with Huzzah. CoSIDA he says
there's nothing in the sweetness of life except good friends.
Right? Having a bunch of friends. And that's why the dean is so
good. Because the dean is like, this is what we're doing. This is
the standard. Everyone who comes here you become friends with those
people.
Right? Outside the dean, how do people make friends? Go to the
bar, the bar everyone's competing against each other. Right?
Everyone's depressed. either. They're middle aged guys depressed
at the bar. Or they're young people at the club, but they're
competing against each other. To get girls and guys, right.
These aren't places of friendship. How do people make friends outside
of Islam? Right? You don't talk to your neighbor. At work.
This is a genuine question. You graduated college and now you work
and you live in an apartment. What is your method of making friends
go into the club? Right?
The club all they want is a young good looking face. If you're not
like that you're not gonna make friends. Right is the standard is
not fair to everybody.
The masjid and the fit class. To me it's the athlete and the fit
class. Here's the theater class and the fit
class, it's saying, Hey guys, this is the belief, this is the, this
is what we're doing. This is the path of Allah. Anyone who comes
here now we welcome that person will become friends with that
person and the chances of clashing decrease. We believe the same
things, we believe in the same way of behavior, right? And we're not
there for each other. We're there for Allah sake. So our focus is
not on each other.
And when your focus is not solely on each other,
I'll never be disappointed in you, right? I'm not here for you to do
something for me. I'm here for Allah sake, and you happen to be
next to me. And for the sake of Allah, I'm going to help you, I'm
going to be with you, I'm gonna befriend you.
I don't expect anything from you. That's the key. If you want to
disappear, and you say, like, Guys, I need my space, I was gonna
go ahead. If you don't believe in this, God, that's your thing,
right? So there's no expectation, my expect my satisfaction is going
to come from Allah, not from you, not from you, not from you.
When I do that, it relieves pressure from everybody. Nobody
has under under any obligation, right? There, you have no
pressure. Now that we can actually be friends, and a lot better way
than before, because I have no expectations from you. I'm here to
please Allah through being a good friend to you. Not waiting for you
to do something for me. That's the big difference. And that's why the
the religion classes masajid our theater classes, these are the
best ways to make friends. And it's also teaches us what behavior
is expected and unexpected. Alright.
So that, you know, we don't end up in a debate and we end up arguing
I met a person a long time ago, they would befriend,
you know, people very easily.
But I would always ask them, like, what's the basis of your
friendship? Oh, they're nice. Okay, but you guys don't agree on
you might you might cross paths on some issue, right? Like on any
serious matter,
you guys are have different views, right? What happens if you hold
strongly to a certain view? And that person holds strongly to an
opposite view? Like, where's the bass? How was this friendship just
on? They were nice to you in class, or they're nice to you on
the job. You can have those friendships provided you never get
serious. You have to remain superficial. Your whole life was
the moment you get serious about something, right? On manners of
talking manners of behavior, right? Manners, or even non text
texting people. There's some rules of thumb that we should observe.
And he shouldn't leave your friends unread.
It's not right. It's not polite. There should be some rules.
You know, when someone does that, I give him three chances.
And then by the third chance, I know it's intentional.
And he doesn't want to be my friend. So I blocked them.
I bury them in my heart. In my heart. I have a janazah I don't
know them anymore, right? I detach myself. I don't want to be running
around a person like a fool. I don't want to be in pain either. I
thought we were friends. Maybe we're not close. You don't have to
be my friend. So in my heart, I close my eyes, we have a genetic
right person does not exist to me anymore. Right? Not in a vicious
weigh in expectation, right from expectations of from them. Like of
course, if I see them, I'll be nice to them as a Muslim, right?
But in terms of expectation that this person is a source of
happiness to me and love. That is what I'm burying. I have no
expectation from you anymore. comes it comes doesn't come it
doesn't come but as for expectations, it's not nothing
there. Probably shouldn't have been there from the beginning.
Right? shouldn't hide expectations from your Mom, look, you're
created being Why should I rely on a created being from my from my
happiness? That's a mistake on my part. Right?
Is it permissible to follow an exercise video where the
instructor isn't dress modestly?
It's not our excuse to look at someone who is not dressed
modestly. So
mute, block the video. Put the sound on. Alright, and cover it
with another tab.
And then what is she? She's saying? Let's do 10 minutes of
jumping jacks. Alright. You don't need to watch her doing jumping
jacks to do that. Right? Do the 10 minutes she now says okay enough
with that. Let's take 60 seconds and then we'll do some pushups.
Let's do that. You do by listening now, is she doing it with her
voice only or Is there music in the background?
It's exercise videos are two steps from being a club. Half naked
people, music guys and girls running around looking all
perfect.
The whole thing is off.
Any dua for marriage and righteous spouse says itim Yes, there is.
First of all, you can sign up for moa.com Or sorry, it's nbc.org/
My wife, and there are people from England on there now. And they
look at your chart, what you signed up for. And they look at
others and they try to match it up. I'm surprised they don't have
an AI component to it yet to match you up. Keywords right.
Match up the keywords that simple app to produce. Right? It's
simple. I want to live in England. I live in England, boom. That's a
match. Right? That's at least that keyword. So the second one,
though, is a rugby in the Lima and Zelda ilium and Hyatt and faqeer.
Okay, rugby in Neelima and Delta. It's the number one video viewed
on Safina society, his YouTube channel, dua for marriage, rugby
in edema and delta la human height and for Pierre. And this dua is
not just for marriage. So if you see someone mumbling it, it
doesn't mean he's always trying to marry. It can be for jobs, it
could be for anything that's called higher. Any goodness or be
any man's LTE Lehmann, Hayden fapy. Anything that is considered
goodness.
You can say that do offer them? Yes. If they added that AI
components, that'd be too much of like an
eating up? No, because what happens is like this,
you fill in a form.
All the forms are with the administrators, the administrators
manually read the forms, then tell you
there's a match so and so. And they take each other's permission
to talk. And then they introduce each other to one another. That's
how they do it. So we'll just be cutting off out, it will be making
easier the manual part of things.
If you plan on breaking a never or a promise that you made to Allah
and you plan to break the promise and do three days of fasting, can
you do the act before you fast or does it have to be after you
confessed? Before or after? It doesn't matter? So hypothetically,
I have another
I made another to Allah Tala. I'm never gonna go to Madison Square
Garden again and blow $600 on a game. Right? 250 for the tickets,
doesn't even good tickets.
50 bucks for the nachos. Right.
All right, and 100 for the parking not doing this again. Then
situation comes about where the perfect gift for somebody is to
take him out to a game.
At that point, right? You fast your three days before or after
the game it doesn't matter because you intended to go either way. So
fast three days. Or give
10 Poor Muslims clothes, right a shirt and pants and a woman a
hijab as well.
For Muslims, can someone say as somebody come in the in the
restroom?
If it's like one of those big restrooms, it's probably better
not to but if they do, you can mumble it back. Can women pray
just as a Salah Of course they can. But they should not attend
the actual burial of the person they should send at the end of the
graveyard for that. After the birth the soil the person has been
buried, then they could come and pay their respects after the men
have left. moved aside because of the grave. It's a small sight,
right? And if women come and men come, they're going to be
too close. In proximity, on top of that the Prophet disliked for a
woman to attend the actual burial. So they could wait. They could sit
at the edge
of the funeral
until the burial is done, then after the men have left then they
could women can come and pay their respects. That would be the right
way to do it was said Aisha as good as the 10 who were promised
Jana. From one aspect she's superior
the aspects of superiority is that when the prophets I sent him was
asked who do you love most in this world? He said Ayesha
so what would if if if you are that beloved to the Prophet, are
you not guaranteed paradise for sure? Sure.
The question then said who's next? In your love? Said Mina rejet.
Woman at Jet abou her father. Right? So that's the rank of said
Aisha. In the eyes of the prophets, I send them in the heart
of the Prophet.
Just holding the belief that string instruments are not haram
and that is a means of the song that determines permissibility
makes a person a little bitter. No, he makes the person incorrect.
But not at Hoopa
you will not be an innovator on that. That's outside of medicine.
You just be incorrect on that issue.
Muqdadiyah in this issue? He's looked at it but not overall he's
still from medicine. Am I allowed to go to WrestleMania during
Ramadan Latif Isla, he
I don't think you should go on Ramadan to be honest with you.
Because
you just wait, wait, you wasted your money anyway, so you bought
the tickets, right? sell the tickets, the whole operation is a
waste of money. Right? Anyway, he wants to go to WrestleMania if you
do you have to lower your gaze from those women. Right? If you go
and you should make us fought for weight, by the way, we don't know
about Latif. Either he maybe he's Muslim for two weeks. Right? So in
that case, the expectation was won't apply. Right?
So
you have to make sure you lower your gaze if you're gonna go to
those types of events, good.
And all the people drinking Budweiser and Miller lights
around, you got to be careful with that to getting all that and
adjust all of your clothes.
But overall, the rule for Ramadan is that the level of entertainment
is discouraged. And in the month of Ramadan, where it may have been
even if it was 100% highlighted in the past to do it in Ramadan is
discouraged. That doesn't mean absolutely nothing you're never
going to there is a time when a person could have done
a good a bad day for two three hours and most wants to relax for
two minutes, right? That's okay. But to indulgent entertainment in
the month of Ramadan is something discouraged.
If you think you may have made two mistakes and Salah do you have to
do to suit yourself? No, just one.
Did your Masjid site the moon locally for the first? Okay, we
answered all those Ramadan questions earlier in the month
where to do Hijra in 2024?
bit broad, everyone's going to have a different circumstance. A
lot of people say great things about Malaysia and Turkey. Is
there any ruling where it would be permissible to feed live insects
to spiders? They won't eat it otherwise, and I already bought
most of the things for the jumping spiders I've been meaning to buy.
So a person has a pet spider. Okay. And the only East live
insects. What do you think Ryan? What do you think son man?
What's the photo? King Selma
they have a spider as a pet. A type of spider that apparently
it's like in a they put him in a cage and maybe it's a tarantula or
something. That's valuable spider.
What do you think? Right. And they need to feed it live insects.
Okay.
I really don't know. But I mean, you're.
You've already bought the spider. So now the question is either
starve the spider set it free. Or feed it live.
Live insects.
How do I balance the sea?
With hosting the dawn
hosting oven.
Let's take an example of that.
Hosting oven you see a man walking with a woman.
Right?
That woman could be his sister. Right? You don't know that. He may
have had a half sister. He may had went on.
You know how to half sister lived far away you never knew about her.
So that's hosting oven. You see a guy walking with a girl. And that
guy has an up is an upright guy. You could assume or you could
assume he got married and you didn't know.
Stuff like that. Right? That's hosting the done.
Now see her requires some level of certainty that he's doing
something.
That's not correct. Good.
So that's the difference. I would say when the host hosting the
hosting of done applies when there could possibly be an excuse for
the person
nasiha applies when I know he's doing something wrong. Then I want
to give him advice.
I found a website this is you found a festival. I found a photo
from some random website
about throwing cats to lions. Throwing cats to lions that's mean
man that is really mean first of all, isn't that hold on Romney and
halen as well? Yeah. Hey, yeah, you know, I said I'll say that.
A diamond credit. So giving a bird to Cat Yeah.
are giving animals to lions whatsoever festival
by address habitat evil Haiwan
got one word on me. It's haram he says lead us it's torture. But
what about the insect is random fact with I don't even know what
is the first time
the lions be like cannibals that's cannibalism this this it didn't
say cats lions dogs
or animals. I see animals like I got you
I don't even know what to look up
over know how to look this up?
You can such a Korean wants to fish its arm and how should odds
it could? Yeah, look that up. It's Ahmed Hassan T liquids
All right, let's go to the next one.
What happens is the fina press website, we took it down we want
to really make our books.
It was it was really the beginning it was just for the students to
give them compilations of notes. So we want to make stuff better.
That's why. So July, you'll start seeing our books coming out again.
What's the really on buying trading card packs or sports card
packs and hope of getting a valuable card to sell?
I can see it as a halal hobby for a kid.
But probably not as a business reason being is that you don't
know what's in the pack. It's a guess. And it's a goddaughter.
Sometimes the pack makes you have something valuable in it.
Sometimes not. So I would say that if you're going into it for
business purposes then.
But if it's a hobby for a child, then it's hella right.
But it should not be a hobby. I don't think for an adult.
I said we used to get those packs when I was a kid and it was just
like a hit or miss you know?
Do we take the Saudi Moon sighting as face value? We answered that
question earlier.
What if you have no money for Vidya and can't fast? You receive
Zika?
You receive Zika. And if your situation changes, do you pay the
video later?
How do I speak to a parent who speaks bad about the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa salam, if the parent is not a Muslim, you ask
them, you know, at least try to respect my religious beliefs.
Right?
You don't have to believe in it. But at least you know, don't hurt
me with these statements. I think you should do that.
What if someone is involved in a Muslim youth organization in a
country but they're getting involved in politics. And much
focus is getting organizing activities, journeys and Muslim
festivals. But in general, I could just give you the general advices
that
rig regard to results of things will not come by disobeying Allah.
That's it. So go by the book of law. What is the book of Sharia?
What is the Sharia say? What is the FIP? Say? We're not going to
get a good result for Muslims by disobeying Allah, even if we did.
And even if others did, it doesn't justify it.
Because there is it is possible that people will do something
sinfully and get a positive result. Okay?
That doesn't mean it's lawful. And that doesn't mean it's blessed.
It's still not lawful for us to do.
How can we balance trying to be righteous, but not feel better
than others, especially family, you compare yourself to those who
are better than you. Always compare yourself to those who are
better than you.
Don't compare yourself to those worse than you. And I'll tell you
what's a mistake many people make. It's actually sinful for them to
do when you say someone, let's say
Muslim doing something wrong, right?
I don't know what's wrong, let's say
they pray Joomla. And they run right away. They don't sit for a
test to be and they don't have the respect and they sit against the
wall. And they don't treat Joomla with the respect that it's
deserving.
Right, barely valid. And someone says something, this is wrong what
they do, then someone else comes, this is what's wrong. And he says,
well, it sir, better than other people who don't praise him at
all. Right? So to minimize, what is wrong is sinful. We're not
allowed to do that. You cannot say, at least they're better than
those who are drinking and don't come to Jamaat All right. That's
what you're not allowed to do. What you are allowed to do is when
you're suffering from something,
okay?
And let's say you have a severe sickness, you can say hamdulillah
we're better off than people who lost limbs are better off than
people who have no eyes, right, who were blind, etc, etc. That
we're allowed to do when you're looking at your house. And you
know,
The ceilings falling apart. Or the
you know tables old and the leathers off the cushions of the
chairs and stuff that you could say was still better off than
people who are, you know, in trailer parks that you're allowed
to say, but your knowledge estate for the dean? This you're not
allowed to say this for the Dean when it comes to sinfulness to say
at least he's better than those who's drinking, right? We didn't
do much this Ramadan, we just sat around sleeping and an eating. At
least we're better than the people who didn't fast at all. You're not
to do that stuff. You're basically
making the wrong seem. Okay?
If someone has a habit of not praying in congregation, will he
be a sinner? Well, first of all Joma he can't leave off. Drama he
can't leave off. And
beyond that, praying in congregation is a sunnah and if
you leave so not off for no reason constantly. Yes, then you're
you're there's a defect in that person.
If a person thinks her if a woman thinks her period is over, but
later she finds out she is not should she continue to do fasting.
So if a woman in any course of the day of fasting gets one drop of
blood,
that day of fasting, no longer counts for she can break her fast.
If the bleeding stops, she stops eating, but she's not fasting. She
just ran out of respect to the month. Okay. So because the
excuses gone. So hypothetically, a woman fast all day in the last 10
minutes of the day, she starts spotting or gets bleeding. Okay,
so that day, she has the reward of her deeds, no doubt about that.
But she owes one full day.
She has the reward of her her a bad the reward of the hunger the
reward of the intention. But she does Oh, a day. Okay. If a woman
for example, is bleeding into the day, and very early in the day,
8am she stops bleeding
that
she she's not fasting that day, but she should refrain from eating
out of respect of the month. Same when a traveler returns home. In
the morning, he traveled from far away and you return to the
airport.
Like 9am you return home by 12 noon, and there's still seven
hours left to fasting. You don't eat because you don't have an
excuse. Likewise, the person who got sick
you fasted on 2pm You couldn't take it you had a terrible
headache. So you drank coffee, you drink water, you took some pills.
And by 3pm You're perfect. No headache nothing you stop eating.
You don't need again.
That's the That's what happens when a person is
had an excuse and the excuses gun. He stops eating it's called them
sec. How to advise a brother back to Islamia stopped practicing
after dogs weren't accepted any surrounded by non Muslims
I would say the best thing for those things is just to invite
them and let things evolve slowly let things develop slowly by
osmosis. Just keep inviting them to the Muslim company and whatever
conversation comes up that's beneficial inshallah. That'll go
your sinful for habitually not praying in congregation the Hanafi
madhhab according to plan C.
Wire are Bukhari and Muslim rank higher than the water in Hadith,
mainly because all of the Hadith the entries in Bukhari and Muslim
are from the Prophet salallahu Salam, what's called metaphor, the
word mud for means a hadith spoken by the prophet Seisen. Whereas the
water is probably maybe 20%. And what for
Hadith, and then the rest of it is sayings of companions, and
scholars and Imam Malik himself.
What are the benefits of saying La ilaha illallah 1000 times a day.
The benefit is the benefit of a single utterance of la ilaha
illallah compounded the single utterance of la ilaha illAllah. It
divorces you from the dunya it strengthens belief in your heart,
it removes since so now by saying it 1000 times or 2000 times or
10,000 times you're compounding that benefit.
Should someone stay in this organization if he still gets
remembered there with prayer, nausea, et cetera and the people
that have groups where they study Islamic knowledge don't have
traditional learning. Speaking without knowledge is is not
acceptable. know if someone is speaking about Islam without
having been taught. They're no different than someone speaking
about cancer without avatar. So speaking about financial advice,
you know that you're not allowed to give financial advice
without
certain degrees without certain certifications. So nobody should
be speaking about something that would that could possibly harm
another person without education. You should always ask Who taught
you? So someone, I always tell the story, someone who wants to give
me financial advice, I lost a bunch of money. I said, Oh, man, I
messed up. Right? I must have not timed it. Right. So I listened to
him a second time I lost money again. And I'm like, Okay, now I
learned a lesson. It's the person.
This person doesn't know what they're doing. Right? So I stopped
taking financial advice from him. financial advice, religious
advice, health advice, car advice, home advice, all these could
potentially harm you. Don't take advice from these people unless
they've been educated. Unless you see them constantly amongst the
scholars and the scholars respecting them. That's a sign
when a scholar respects another scholar in visible ways, not just
shakes his hands and smiles, visibly giving him the mic.
Listen, everybody closely pay attention and learn and give him
the mic. That is a sign that he trusts him.
So if they're, they're talking about a sign without any of that,
then no, it's not good.
Don't listen to them.
If you're on medication and have medical issue or excused from
fasting with no sin, if you have a if if you if a Muslim doctor told
you, you must take this medicine for health reasons, it must be a
Muslim doctor, or something well known. Right? Something well known
that even you don't even need a doctor for good. But if it's
something well known, or something not well known, and a Muslim comes
doctor tells you, you must take this medicine throughout the day.
Then you're excused from fasting until that sickness is over. You
make up those fasts later. If it's permanent, then you pray for do
you pay the video later.
One Cutsem in a month is one juice a day while reading Pseudotsuga
Bacara is over to Joe's every day, which is better to Joe's is better
than soda tobacco is two and a half just 50 pages minus the first
two pages 48 pages. Because the first two pages have usually they
have Fatiha only, and the first five days only. So actual pages,
40 pages. So it's much better to read more than to read effects. So
to read randomly, two and a half jobs a day, or to read one job a
day and finish I've had some which is better, I would say randomly
two and a half just a day. Or the same sort of over and over and
over. If someone thinks that her period is over, but it's not
should she continue her fasting, she must attain certainty.
If her period is over in the daytime,
it's not that she'll be fasting but she'll stop eating. If a
woman's period ends at two o'clock. And McCullough was at
seven o'clock. She stops eating but she's not fasting. She just
stops eating. It's called him sick. I'm not fasting but I'm not
eating at irrespective of the month
yes
there like a period of purity, like in the Hanafi school you need
15 days has to be 15 days. 15 days of purity between heights is also
like,
like they go on
15 and Maliki Yeah.
So it's like Yeah, yeah, the norm plus three the norm plus three Max
15.
What's an example of the buttermilk that the Sahaba did.
For example, Satan.
Khalid bin Walid used to take the hair of the prophets I send them
and go to battle with it. He never went to battle without their the
Prophet slicin Why would the prophesy send them used his hair
and his sweat as medicine?
What else
I've done live in Tibet went beyond that he drank the hijama
cup of the prophet
and the prophet says Salah Salem he said he dramas blood.
The prophesy sim said woe to enemies from you. Right? You do
that? Your enemies should be very scared of you know, right because
there's so much news and the enemies of Islam. They fear that
light
that's also a proof he didn't that proof and nothing comes from the
prophet is not just he acted as if it was only to teach us but that
is a proof because otherwise that should be negated. If it was
nudges he should be reprimanded and said Muslims doesn't drink in
the Joseph but in
is pen ink a barrier for Windows?
Following the question the
Visiting parents for Eid who fasted on Monday we fasted on
Tuesday. How do we reconcile?
Inshallah it will all be the same anyway, this month around
specifically saying, but let's say it wasn't
tough you visit them while fasting
right?
What if a man is too poor to pay figure and get sick while trying
to fast he should receive Zika and if he ever gets
wealthy or healthy then he couldn't make up his fast or pays
for do I was told that there is a tradition in Islam of asking let's
see how if someone before you part, how do you know when? When
to apply someone nasiha or when is good or bad advice. You have to
measure it yourself. You have to measure the advice yourself.
Matata to Kulu Busey Mohamed Mahmoud. It's a wonderful book.
wonderful book, one of the best.
Do I do cada or Tarawa you can do the Kedah of your daily amount of
Kedah and then you could do your tattoo if that's if that's what
the ruling is there's no totally without further
notes are we while could that still exist so it should be all
cut out. That's the ruling. But in signs of seeing that people
benefit so much.
When they go to the masjid for total we so some automatic give a
Fetzer that said you finished your quarter of the day right let's say
your quota of the day your makeup person that you'd make up five
President your 10 prayers a day then you can go to tearaway after
that but that's a federal by the way it's not the ruling the ruling
is there's no nothing while there's
the hand of his may say something different though. I think they
still you have to go for that away for the Hanafis
because there's a certain worker there for them and you can't leave
us in America without a reason.
All right, we got to wrap up. We've gone deep in here
should I take knowledge from someone that says you can take
from all the methods and choose those things with the strongest
delille law that's the procedural person because the methods have
different standards of what a delete is in the first place.
Delete is an evidence this person is a judge. Right? Because you
can't compare it with school. Right? You can't compare it with
school
can't compare to evidences that have totally different
sources and methodologies.
I don't mean to say the person is a jailer maybe it's just her dad
sitting next to her so
what I'm saying like he's not right on that. Right
Ryan, you have anything closing remarks? No.
kinks, OMA
Malik Selma, any any remarks? Can I swim while fasting?
It's risky for getting water in your mouth. Number one. Guaranteed
you get water in your mouth. Yeah. If you don't have real swim, if
you're doing a real swim, Brian says he swims more than me. He
swim every day. Right?
Fasting thing. And on top of that, any sport, any physical activity
you do cannot be to the point that will exhaust you to the point of
sickness. If you don't drink. You're not allowed. That would not
be an excuse. That will be a photo you would Okafor if you ate, so I
went jogging. And then I came back and my head is gonna burst if I
don't have to if I don't have water? Not a lot. No.
If you do, you did that to yourself. You did that to
yourself?
Yes.
Are you ready for it?
Let's do it tomorrow.
Yeah, because we went a long way. We have a surprise for you
tomorrow.
Not a surprise good deed that
we're happy to be part of
is going to an NBA game permissible in general.
And so let's be permissible in general because you yourself are
not going to listen to the music. You're going to watch the game.
And you're not going to sit next to someone who's drinking.
You're going to they happen to be drinking that could be on a bus
and drinking it could be on the tube in England drinking.
Good.
Is we do valid if you don't say Bismillah before you start Yes,
it's still valid. Can I watch Kung Fu Panda in Ramadan?
Is it a real question to someone's just wants me to say it right. Can
I watch Godzilla and Kung Fu Panda in Ramadan? They want me to just
say it
That's what it is really, because Kung Fu Panda just came out with
another another.
What is it Kung Fu Panda for now?
I wouldn't go to the theater in Ramadan though, personally, like
if if my my kids said I can we go to the movies, I'd say and show
it. Right? It's like either you're doing it while you're fasting. Or
you're doing it like that's true, because you're either going to be
fasting or it's going to be the nighttime. So either way.
I would go and show up. Just go and show one. Take it as I eat
gift.
Is the piano considered a string instrument? Because the strings
are being it is or is it a percussion like the marimba?
I would I didn't see the righteous people play the piano or listen to
it. They listen to the percussion,
and the chef of Teddy to the flutes.
But I didn't see the righteous people. I can tell you that much
the Havas of Quran they didn't really go that route of listen to
piano or playing the piano
a public figure may not disclose where they studied, is there any
situation where a public figure may not disclose where they
studied? This person has 300,000 followers and said they don't
answer personal questions. It is in religion, in business, in money
matters in health, in all of these things that I mentioned before
where your advice is taken by others, and they have a risk of
benefit or harm.
I believe it's an obligation to tell them where you get your
knowledge from. Right. I think it's an obligation.
Right? You can't say I have secret knowledge. Even if you study by
yourself, right? Let's say I read the book by myself. Alright, how
do I know you understood properly? I read the book by myself and I
discussed it with chips down. So here's chips so and so says I
understood it. chips on says yes here and he understood the book,
because he usually mentioned that he says people can read and
understand. But you still need some kind of peer review to make
sure you understand properly. Okay, to make sure you understood
properly. So
I don't think it's a
they can talk off data and FIP and give guidance without that. But
what they can do. They can tell stories. They can tell stories of
profits without judgments. Without saying this is how this how wrong.
This is valid. This is invalid, but he's just telling you stories
or describing paradise or describing the dunya how short the
dunya is all of that he can do that without any Jezza and he
doesn't have to tell you where he studied, right.
secret marriage is not allowed in Islam. It's fornication
Let's get married but keep it secret look. Can a woman pray
totally in the Master? Yes.
Random King said I didn't know it's sitting against the wall.
Joomla is bad. It's not bad. It's very bad. complete disrespect to
the critique to the masjid to the salon to everything. So don't do
it again.
What's the difference in Daraa lumen mother of Mauritania it's
just words dot Allume it's a word that's popular in the subcontinent
and Mahara in Mauritania. Of course what goes on in it is going
to be different. Every dollar alone could be different. Right
Sena Allah is here Mashallah. What is a good time to move to if
someone is looking to move to your community North Brunswick, South
Brunswick, East Brunswick all of these are good towns Somerset

stuff going on. mill town well mill town Zelos all

can move to Milltown.
Alright is, is
I've heard with injustice towards people on the day of judgment that
you might have to pay them back with your good deeds. Yes, that's
correct. What if the sins committed against non believers
still justice has to happen? Just because someone's a Kaffir doesn't
mean you get away with it.
All right.
Taking the BC pill, is not good for women is unhealthy. says one
commentator Holly Forza
benefits of saying that 1000 times a day we mentioned that
learning secular knowledge with the intention to make money
supportive family for the sake of Allah as something that's an act
of worship. It's something that we can't say it's an act of worship,
but it's rewardable
not an act of worship, but it's rewardable.
How do you frame
Meet the people that say M SEC stop eating before fetches haram
about eating to fudge.
No, no, if SEC is to ensure that no food accidentally gets into
your mouth after fetch, and to firstly, when you have a doubt of
one feather actually comes in.
Yeah, the prophesy seven said you can eat until Phaedra. They knew
when federal came in back then because they opened the door and
they see a horizon. We have not seen a sunrise in our whole life.
Some of us
you think that 536 on the calendar and 536 on your microwave? Is
fetch. Firstly, you don't know if your microwave is aligned to the
same clock that they use. It could be two minutes off. Secondly, 536
would they get? I don't know how they got that number, but they. So
I'm going to say 526.
That's how far I'm not going to go up to a number that is unknown. So
the question is, you say you're correct. If you can prove to me
that Federer actually is coming in at that time. We don't know if
it's actually coming in at that time.
Back in the day, they used to look outside and they see the horizon
right in front of them. Okay.
We don't see that. So we don't have certainty of this number
that's on a piece of paper. That's all it is to me.
It's hovering around that time. I always go for five minutes.
Malcolm comes in at let's say 7:01am. I going to now look at my
white grave and say 701 No, of course not. I'll go 704705 Also,
also having been with them long enough, I can look out the window
tell you when we're gonna visit it on a sunny day. On a clear day. I
could look out the window tell you Maga visit. I don't even care what
the calendar anymore at that point. It could be 659 on the
microwave. I don't care. I'll wait just in case just to be safe. But
I know Mugler isn't by my eyes. If you've been Muslim long enough,
you all know this right? On top of that, you have to if it's a clear
day, if it's a cloudy day, you don't know. Right? But it's a
clear day. I think any of us can look outside and say hey look, you
can pray Austin, that's awesome is over. No doubt about that. You
look outside you see a phallus right on the eastern horizon. The
Goddess is like unclarity, lack of clarity a little bit of it's
unclear like what is on I can't I know it's you but it's there's
some regardless there the light is gone
didn't start thoughts on the movie dune don't know nothing about it.
And I have a very good friend who is a dune fanatic.
And he invited us to his home. We all went it was like I don't know
what he's like a come a big occasion. He had all food on the
table snacks everything all the guys from the masjid is are
watching Doom guys and no clue what's happening from beginning to
end. Not a clue. Right except the top dogs are good. Chips are good.
That was that's what was good.
Can I Is it permissible for me to read the Quran without moving my
lips? You need to move your lips. How does one difference between
emotions and a while while relate to nearness to Allah and distance
from the dunya emotions relate to people and matters of the dunya
but there is an overlap no doubt we have love for Allah subhanaw
taala and that love is but the sign of it the sign of love of
Allah is submission to his law.
