Are
we ready
Mandarin hamdulillah salatu salam ala Rasulillah while he was be
human.
So yesterday we did the cover I will cover. Okay. And today we're
on the Naboo chapter on Naboo. Again, the reseller is very basic,
when it talks about these matters, it's very basic.
And we have a lot more in other works. Now Naboo
is obviously right after belief in Allah subhana, which I didn't know
Bucha is the pillar of the deen because even Allah's name, what he
wants from us, existence of heaven, *, most of the
attributes, right, we would not know except through transmission
from the Prophet. And these are called a semi yet, right that
which you only know by hearing it from someone who has access to
information that you don't have access to. And the whole point of
prophecy is that the prophets that Ambia they are given knowledge and
access to unseen matters, that we are not okay with that all of the
rest of humanity is not given access to.
Okay, like the analogy that we said, the person who knocks at the
door, you know, nothing except that someone's knocking at the
door, you know, it's not a squirrel, not a dog, not the wind,
not an acorn, it's a human knocking at the door. But you know
nothing about this human what he wants or anything else, except if
that person goes sour or someone goes out of the door, talks to
that person and comes back. So what are the required attributes
of such a person? It's got to be truthful. It's got to be of sound
intellect, okay, has to have to be known by the Quran says we never
send a foreign prophet. Every prophet is from the people. Right?
He's, he's not a foreigner. Because a foreigner can be
rejected even if he says truth because he's a stranger. Right?
Because he's a, it looks like someone who's coming in, and we
have interest to keep things stabilized. So he can be rejected
for other reasons. Okay, so that's why Allah subhanaw taala never
sends foreigners as prophets. They're always from the people.
Okay.
speaking the language of the people having the heat sense of
humor, even of the people, knowing their sense of humor, even sexual
Jacobi talked about when he gave lessons on this, knowing that the
people know his backgrounds. Okay, so it could be someone from the
people, but you're a complete stranger still. Right? So no,
everyone knows his father's they know his forefathers they know
everything about him. So the person who goes out and comes back
needs to be eloquent is to be able to transmit the message. So the
requirements of a prophet are
that every prophet has superior intellect and body. Right? Because
again, the truth can come from somebody, but because that
person's body is off, or
face is off. missing something blind, for example, missing
something, people can say, Well, no, there's no way that we're not
listening to. Okay, so if the body or intellect is in any way has any
defect, that could be a reason for people rejecting Him. So Allah
azza wa jal took that reason away by perfecting their bodies and
intellect. Okay, because many people would ask,
Hey, I'm, I'm paralyzed, I'm blind. I'm deaf. The prophets
never had to face this. No, they had to face stuff that's worse.
Okay. Because they, they need all those limbs to fulfill the
function or otherwise it cannot fulfill the function okay? So
that's one day so that's fatahna Salah motto just me what I just
said well, okay fatahna is also superior into intelligence. Then
they have to have okay a set
while a man a set is in what you speak, right set prison what you
speak. Amana is in what you keep the secret you keep what you hear
from people or are given from people so Amana is I give you my
wallet. Hold this while I go get something from the car. Okay,
that's an Amana Okay, or I'm going to hedge take this, this is my
jewelry and my gold while I go to hedge or go on a business trip.
Okay, take the keys to my house and check up on my house. That's
an amendment right? Something that you could abuse you could steal.
You're being entrusted so they have a man acidic is in his
speech. What the individual says is truth. Okay, that's a sick and
then
You have to believe the reseller, there's no value if you have all
of this, right, but you did not for another reason. Okay?
relay the message, right? So you might have sip, you might have a
man a perfect body, perfect intellect, no defects or flaws
there. But you forgotten, right? You forgot to write late or you
misunderstood? Well, then he wouldn't have fatahna or you have
some other reasons you're too worried about the people. So you
won't say something that was revealed to you, right? Or that
was given to you. So the MBA do not have this so that nobody can
make an accusation that the prophets of Allah when he was
salam was nervous about transmitting something and he kept
it secret, okay, or that he failed to transmit something as some
people say, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
going to appoint said and it to be looked at for Okay, and almost
stopped. Right or that he wrote something on a piece of paper and
Alam ate it. We would say no, the prophet lives after that. That was
Thursday, Prophet died Monday. So Allahu alayhi wa sallam. So what
happened Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Right if they are
accusing, okay, making this accusation, this accusation is not
an accusation and say no, just to give some background on what
people might not understand and not realize but
it is said that there's a day called Black Thursday, the Prophet
was so sick,
extremely high fever. And he said, Give me a piece of paper someone
get a pen and paper and write the will see that I'm going to give
you the advice for the OMA
then said normal said no, because the prophets I said them he's in
and out of consciousness. And that is not the prerequisite of writing
something for the OMA is that you need to be aware and say no Ahmad
made a judgment and said no, wait till the Prophet when he is in his
State of
better health and awareness, then,
but not now. So they call this Black Thursday, and they said that
almost stopped the prophets of Allah who it was salam from
appointing said Nadi, we say you are not accusing Omar of anything.
You're accusing the prophets of Allah what He said, Because he
then lived Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And we know that on
shortly before his death, he came out with full health and radiance,
because sometimes that happens, right? full health and radiance.
He saw all the believers, okay. He was still sick, but sometimes you
have strength to get your strength back for a short period. He saw
the believers he was pleased with their salah, they saw him their
hearts were so at ease from how healthy the Prophet looks and
Allah when he was seven. That said Abu Bakr Siddiq went to visit one
of his properties far out of the city. Right. Whereas before that
he was saying staying in the city right in front of the prophets
house to make sure near that roof tiles to make sure his health was
okay. Once he saw the profit like this, what did overbook have to
do? Setting up a bucket, he traveled out to visit one of his
properties far outside the city. So that's a proof that the Prophet
on that day was in complete and full wellness and awareness. So
then if you are accusing Black Thursday, then you really accusing
accusing Omar I'm on quote unquote, Black Thursday, you're
actually accusing the Prophet on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Okay,
because why then did this? If this was a fundamental of the religion,
then why wasn't it given to us? That means you're accusing that
the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not fulfill his Amana,
that Allah gave him. Okay? So this was, these are the four qualities
that every prophet must have right to believe will result that we
believe and hold that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
transmitted everything to us, okay?
That Allah azza wa jal told him to transmit. Now we come to the
concept of tau tau, someone who's asking what is the value? When we
say tau or mutawatir? The word Waterwatch it is something means
something that was transmitted so far and wide, right so far and
wide that there's absolutely no doubt it's impossible that the
people conspired to make this up, because it's impossible to get all
these strangers all agreeing on the same lie. Okay.
So the value of the toto is that the fundamentals of the deen by
which know if you take one away you the whole deen is destroyed.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam repeated them over and over
and over for 23 years
Okay, or whenever the hokum came and thereafter, okay. He repeated
it in Medina in the masjid many times. He repeated it while
traveling. He went to the Prophet used to make a sort of a rounds
on the village or the small mill
Sajid but that are outside the city so you had Medina was shaped
like this. It was the masjid was in the middle. The marketplace was
around it, then homes then the forms. Okay. That's how the masjid
the city was organized. So the people who live far out in the
forms are how big are farms. They're huge. So a man could be
far out in his farm. He can't pray, go come into the city five
times a day for prayer. Right? So he'll build a little nest in
there. And the all those little farmer farmers were praying that
little Masjid. So, in Medina, there were many masajid. Okay, it
was the habit of the prophets of Allah when he was setting them
every once in a while to make rounds on these messages, and to
go to one of them for them. Spend time with the people in that
little neighborhood, then
walk to the next semester, spend some time there, some people would
invite him to pray in their home to get the blessings, okay of the
prophets of Allah Azza.
He would spend some time there, then he would walk and pray the
next pair in the next message and so on for the entire day. What
would he be doing, he would be transmitting and repeating the
essential pillars of the deed. So it becomes much better when it's
something repeated so much. So the whole of the value of the concept
of tuatara. When we say it's motor water, it means the Prophet repeat
it so much. It is an essential non negotiable of the religion. non
negotiable. Without it, there's no Islam and we have to today
talk about the concept of Deloria to Deen, right, which is something
that is much larger, like this clear, unequivocal.
There's no doubt about it. And it's been so widely spread to both
Qatar and DeLara. Because that's what religion is because the even
this is under attack, right? Even these darood yet is under attack,
right? And more so online than actual in actual real communities.
Because online, anyone could type anything they want. And it becomes
fanciful, and a big deal, right? So if you do something radically
different, okay, it'll spread, it'll be spread by people who
don't have any real interest in, you know, Islam and Muslim
communities. But this is like something,
you know, bizarre. Alright, so
it's spread more online, but people have to be aware of it
because people are absorbing more online than they are in their
local communities. So that's why we have to talk about it, and
recognize that there are not that many things that are double yet,
it's not like you're gonna get a book this thick, is very simple
things that every Muslim knows, right? And the point of battle
yet, the only means necessary, right? And what he means by
necessary is, by virtue of existing in a Muslim community,
just by the virtue, that you live with Muslims, okay? You must know
this fact. Right? As long as if you're saying and you interact
with Muslims, you know, this, you don't take a class for these
things. There's no need to take a class for these things, right? If
you live and interact with Muslims at any basic level, you show up
for ad show up for your family dinners, right? It's gonna come
up. Okay. The such things that hedge where does it take place?
You don't need to be a student to know it's Mecca. You don't? How
many Salah ask any Muslim boy, girl. 12 years old, five years
old. They know it's five to five daily prayers. Even a four year
old, she doesn't know what she might not know what they're
called. She knows there's five daily prayers. Right? Who's the
Prophet Muhammad? Is there a prophet after him? No. Right? All
these basics how many gods do we worship one? When a man gets
married? What does he marry another woman right? Okay. These
basics, okay. Who are the first human beings say Now Adam, right.
Was he a caveman with a stick? No. Right? How was it was the first
woman say to her Well, alright, these fundamentals, okay.
That these are what the audience are. So the prophets of Allah
Allah wa salam
has that to obligatory salah. Now let's go to what he says here and
how to throw Mahatama resell at one another.
All right, stop there. Now. Katama Feola MALDI.
And who's the fad? Allah Allah subhanaw taala. Right. Not the fad
is not always given in a sentence. If it's understood by context, or
reset at one another when nubile water all of them are refereed
before the monsoon monsoon monsoon, each one is a mask as a
feminine singular, alright so because non rational items are
given the feminine example Shudra right
Feel a treat, right? Or things like this. It has nothing to do
with actual feminine qualities or rock. Right haidara Right feminine
given the feminine
be Mohammed Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This is Jarrow, Mujuru.
Okay, B is the job. Right? And then Mohammedan NaVi are both
receiving the customer, the hub on the word Nebby. He is on the Yep,
not the hat. The hat is the Damir. Right Raja Illa
Irfan, which in this case here it is Karthik, Allah subhanaw taala.
For Jah Allah who keep going
Giada who
are studying
machine.
Okay, so he made him Allah subhanaw taala made him here on
mursaleen this is any Muslim, anyone who's studying the
studying the Islam from a world history. I mean, a world religions
class will know that the doctrine of Islam, unlike any other
religion, is that this is the last prophet.
Jesus never announced himself to be the last prophet. Nor did Musa
Lisa. Okay. In fact, they all said there are more to come.
Right? That's why the Hoja upon al Kitab.
is as soon as they learn that that prophet is coming. His name is
Muhammad Sallallahu. That's the hedge against them. Right? Whereas
we said the Hoja are the proof against people who haven't
received any Abrahamic message is simply their intellect. If you
have an intellect you should be rejecting pagan gods even if you
it's not going to make you know about Islam, and Allah and the
prophets I sent him but you know that there's one maker and the
pagan gods are false. That's it with intellect with the Yoda and
Assad is one of the prophets of Allah when he was Selim said,
there is no from the hood and then Assad and none from the hood and
the Masada, who has a herd of me, and we're not believed, except
he's made himself from the pupil of the fire. Okay. So the that's
and which negates the concept of The Guardian is, and their profit
coming after them. And the Qadiani is a sect that you will probably
come upon mostly online again, you're not going to probably not
going to see one in your lifetime. You know, unless you
maybe, but most Muslims, if you go around most Muslims, they don't
even know what that is, except in certain countries where they're
present, namely Pakistan, India.
I guarantee you go to any Jordanian never heard of midazolam
he doesn't even know who it is. Right. So he might think, Oh, this
is that the butcher down the road? No, it's not the butcher. Okay.
There'll be racist. Not all butchers are buxton's. Okay, so
this man claimed himself to be an OB. Afterwards I'm which I did and
Jesus incarnated. Right. So have people followed him this which,
which makes you realize, people are that naive? Yeah, people are
naive people can be duped. Okay. Because everything that Jesus
incarnate in India, right, why not incarnate in Palestine? Right? If
it's gonna happen at all, it's a ridiculous concept in the first
place. It's multiple, been more ridiculous that he's an Indian on
the British payroll. Okay. So in any event, whatever is his claim,
is
this idea that people can be led astray. Yeah. Look how many
generations thereafter, all of them, those generations that
captured, the two groups are one group says he's a prophet. The
other says he is a reformer.
But they do not.
Have a comment about the claim that he's a prophet. So just the
fact that other people believe that and you accept that that
itself is a problem. Okay. So as you may know, he says, If you do
not make a tech fear of a of Cooper, the night itself is worthy
of tech fear. So if someone comes to you and says that there's
really no Adam and Eve, and they evolved, actually, then and you
say that that's an that's Oh, I don't believe that. But I guess
it's okay. For them to believe that. Well, no, that's not
acceptable either. Are we're not here doing a witch hunt. Some
people have this
nervousness and tension when you talk about what's Islam and what
isn't, and tick, fear. We're not here doing witch hunt. But the
Dean's got to be clear, right? That's all it is. If you go to
anything, the terms got to be clear. You can't go to sign up for
the Democratic Party, but say, actually, I'm pro life and I'm
against gay marriage, right? Then they're gonna say, you're not
signing up. You're not going to be the United Democrat. Right? You
can't say I want to be a liberty and run as a Libertarian
candidate, and said, Well, I'm all about big government, right? And
we want the government to regulate everything. Then and we want to,
you know, go around using force everywhere, and I'm a libertine,
then you're not you're actually
making a mockery of the whole thing. And it's really from
American exceptionalism. If you know, all through history you had
most people, they see a religion. There it is put together, it's in
the books, everyone's practicing it. And you say, Well, you know,
maybe I'm a little bit of a center, right? But no, what are we
doing here in America, we're actually going in and changing the
thing with like, zero respect, zero respect. So this is the
problem. And this is why these borrowed yet have to be constantly
repeated over and over, that there can be no profit nor accepting
someone else. Or accepting the concept that someone else even if
you don't believe it, you cannot even accept the you must say this
is Cofer. Right? I read to say that there's another prophet Okay,
I have just taken as well that the guy died on a toilet. No prophet
of God is going to die on it throw the yarn to the * who asked
her on mursaleen Bashir on one alira Okay, these are my five.
But this is a type of Mfold for Jaya Allahu Jalla is the verb made
him? Okay, if you're on mursaleen that's the Mfold and that's a
MODOK McDuffie de F Iran. Mursaleen. How did he make him a
prophet? How did he send him as a warner and a giver of glad tidings
or rivers give her glad tidings. Bashira and an aviator. So when we
get to the Mefa as there are different types in English, you
might call them adverbs. Right description of the verb how
so when we get to the method we'll get to that well there is another
method keep reading that
Munira Alright, stop here. What's your Raja Munira is also one of
the in the mouth to the rest of them afraid my tooth added to the
rest of them. If I invest here, I'm going to zero with their iron.
Now here we have talked about their agent and Allah he'll be in
the heat, okay? The highest MACOM of worship, the highest form of
worship, okay, is to be in a state of doing power to be used by Allah
to give doubt that is the highest level of doesn't mean you're the
best person. Right? But this is your have been given the best job.
Some people are worshipers, the worshiper benefits himself and he
best benefits others indirectly. Okay, because there may be a such
a pure worshipper that Allah loves in a gathering. Many people are
doing many wrongs in the gathering, but the entire
gathering is protected. Right? Just because of that person. And
we know in surah in the Quran, the punishment was going to come on
Mecca, but it didn't why
Allah Allah Regina macmini No, we not right there men in the city of
Mecca, hiding their Islam, right. Because of them. The whole city
was protected. Right whole city was protected.
Okay.
So dalawa This is where we talk about dower Dawa is the most
valuable thing that a person can do. And the path of of the deen
should be 1/3 seeking knowledge 1/3 purifying yourself and 1/3
Giving down so that you're have a balance of all three. You can't
give Tao without knowledge and without self purification, because
then you'd end up Kibar arrogance could enter into the idea of love
of fame could enter into all these things. Oh, you give a talk. And
everyone says, Oh, you're doing such a great job it gets it can
get to your head, you have to purify yourself, right? Otherwise
it gets to your head, and then Tao. What are you going to say?
You got to learn something first. Right? And that's why.
Again, the online situation is a wild wild west. It used to be that
the realm of Dawa happened in the massage, like teaching education
Taleem happened in the masajid, right? Well, you can't get a foot
into any masky one, there's a community there, right, they're
gonna put in the person that they trust. So that door is close to a
lot of ignorant people, or anyone who has a second another ambition.
But the web is wide open for everyone to use. Now, as we said,
the web is more influential, or reaches more people we should say,
and more people spend their time on the web than they do in masajid
are in physical classes, even though massage and physical
classes have a long a longer lasting deeper impact, because
there's all the human interaction, and it's actually a real thing.
Whereas online you're just seeing people's words and art
Because of videos without any real human interaction
you're receiving, there's no way to sort of, well there is I guess,
but not in a deep sense. Express yourself and get some love back
and there's no none of that relationship. Even it's there.
It's like, surface only. So Dawa is something that we should be
engaged in. And we should be aware as people who are love Taliban
and hamdulillah Allah azza wa jal has granted us a huge blessing,
just the fact to love knowledge and love self purification. This
is by itself, right?
The biggest Namur bigger than life itself, because religious guidance
is superior to life itself. Life itself can result in you in having
Heaven and *, heaven or *, right? Just by existing you could
still go to *, you could be miserable. So hey, Daya.
To be guided to love the Dean into the concept loving the Sunnah fear
and Cofer fearing bidder, right is a huge NEMA, it's more of a
blessing than life itself, okay.
To people who have this NEMA have to use it properly, because
shaytaan will come to you now. And he will if he can't get you to
anything else, he will get you to mess up your priorities, your
priorities will be all messed up. And this is what he gets a lot of
youth who are so well intentioned and guided them, but he gets them
on priorities. So they either become people who are obsessed
with knowledge to the point that they become hard hearted with the
people and they can't even relate to people and they still become so
dogmatic. Okay
they become so dogmatic and impossible to deal with. This is
wrong, right? You have knowledge. But life also requires some wiggle
room. So you need wisdom. To understand this wiggle room, you
need wisdom for this right? wiggle room without going outside the
principles of right. You need priorities, there has to be
priorities. There was once an imam. This is what I'm talking
about, about wiggle room to stories that are famous one from
and another one from a hint. In another him there was a group of
people in the Atlas Mountains who did not observe Salah right?
The entire village of farmers did not observe seller. Okay, so one
of the all heard of these people and opened up a discussion about
them. Right. And so, some one of the scholars sitting with him, he
said, I will go and Shala and give it a shot to give them some
wealth. He spent two months with the people as a guest and began
having little classes, talks, visits. Okay, they were honored to
have a scholar amongst them.
He came back down from the mountain went to his circle of
friends.
And he said they're praying, they'll pray.
And they said, mashallah, once God says, I want to go see it myself.
So he went, and he came down, right? And he said, What Salah is
this? He said, What's the problem? He said, They all pray with their
muddy shoes on. Right? Yeah, they're a mountain men they farm
they have
the you know, they're rugged guys working in the fields and all
that, right. And they have their or however they live and they got
their muddy boots on. And they're going in praying, right, though.
He doesn't take his shoes off in the masjid. Obviously, it's not a
furnished message like a regular outdoor type of mosque. Right?
The Sheikh said, I got them in the masjid. Now you can take their
shoes off. Right? So what does that mean? That means the chef
taught them with wisdom. First you wake up Nick will do. Then put
your boots on, then wipe over the boots every all day. Right? Anyone
will pray? When he knows all he has to do is wipe on his boots
right? It's much easier than you tell a farmer I'll take your shoe
or these mountain take your boots off, put your foot you know make
will do. He just taught them to gamble and go pray right gentle
GoPro. Another story happened in India, right in India, one of the
ultimate villains came upon a village of people he was
traveling, he came out upon a village of people. He wanted the
message of prayer, no event or outcome. Right. So he talked to
the chief. He said no, and there is no Salah is established here.
No prayer is established here. Right? So he said to him, so
he talked to them for a while. Okay, then he went back and
another item came and he found the whole village is praying. So he
said one second. So he said, It's like magic. Okay.
Yeah.
Where's my computer back here?
I
hear this
a bit
Indians that come and go, that's not Indian,
Indian.
By bending over like this, we've imagined
what's happening so many companies
we met we don't back down like that
thanks for the advice silver.
So they asked him, How did this? How did you get them to omics
Allah. He said I went to the chief, right because I went to the
chief. He said, on to the chief, I said to him, Listen,
all these people someday, they're going to learn about salah. And
they are going to look at you, as someone who doesn't pray, right.
And then they're going to disrespect you as their Chief. So
pray that they can respect you. He said, Okay, I'll start praying.
No, he didn't. So he didn't show up. Then he said, what, what next?
Right? What did you do when he didn't show up? He said, Listen,
why don't you show up? He said, Honestly, I want to pray. But I
don't feel like making will do will do is harder than salah.
Right? Because I don't want to make will do. So he said, Listen,
you need to pray that all these people are going to start praying,
right?
Just playing with that.
So the menstrual cycle, start praying what that will do. Right?
And they said, Did you actually pray with that will do. He said,
Then the chief, he came in, right? And he realized, you know,
I don't want to be a hypocrite. Let me just make.
And then sometime later, I don't want to do this just for the sake
of the chieftaincy. Right? So then he isn't, he became sincere
afterwards. So here are this man used wisdom in his Dawa. Just get
the person's foot in the door? Even if the intention is
different, right? And the thing is not fully correct, it becomes
Correct, right? It becomes Correct. Okay. So many times
guidance is found like this. So many people, their first exposure
to muscles was only with business transactions, right? So in any
event, this is the concept of Tao, its importance.
The people who love purification as well, right? If they are not
engaged in some way, with the people, then it reflects a
selfishness and hard heartedness. And this happens in many
worshipers. All they care about is their own
vicar, and MACOM ad. And most of the time, it's just their
imagination, right and their mood and maybe something that the tea
was really sweet, or there was a lot of caffeine in the coffee. And
that's really what you're feeling. So a lot of these people, what
they need to do is have some selflessness right and actually do
something for others. And then when you go home at night, and you
do your thing to ALLAH, when ALLAH SubhanA which Allah and you do
your thing, then it's it's has value because you're not a selfish
person, just thinking of your own feelings, and spirituality in all
religions has its critiques in the same thing, that you guys are
doing the spirituality for your own feelings, and you don't care
about the others, right? You don't care about people. So this is
where the
concept of the sweetness of vicar becoming something you care about
for yourself indulgence of type of spiritual gratification. Well, if
it's making you into someone who is selfish and doesn't care about
the society and the people right, then it becomes a problem okay.
Ones that either have kids or kids
what shall
we
do you know, who will go we will go in
now, we come to the subject of guidance. There are two types of
guidance, right? The two types of guidance. When we talk about
guidance, in most cases, we mean that which Allah azza wa jal
places in the * of people directly of belief. Okay, that's
guidance. That's why we say Allah only guides right only Allah
guides. You cannot force a person from disbelief to belief.
However, however,
why
When someone is a B believes, how they learn about this religion is
not going to be directly from Allah, it's going to be through
humans. So as for someone who was in disbelief, the only way for
them to enter belief is by Allah placing that event in their heart.
And Allah azza wa jal places offers the Eman to everyone. But
some people accept and others reject the prophets of Allah when
he was selling them give an example. Okay, because if Amen.
Belief is something that Allah only gave to believers, and that's
the only way to have it, then how then could the disbelievers who
rejected faith? How then are they morally accountable? Right, then
they shouldn't go to *? Because I didn't get it. The only way to
get it is from Allah. I didn't get the province. I said and give us
an example. He says Allah subhanaw taala is example of a feast.
Right? Someone who calls to the feast free feast Open Table for
everyone to eat. The Sahaba said who would reject it? Right?
Prophesy centum said this is exactly what Jana is. Guidance,
the hidayah is given to everyone. Right? The only ones who don't
accept it, or those who actively reject it, right? The promise is
innocent everyone goes to Jannah except those who refuse, right. So
Allah azza wa jal is giving this Hidayat to everyone, but some
people reject it. But now once we are in the circle of belief, okay.
We do not rely upon emotions, feelings or inspiration. To
understand the religion, you must rely upon living scholars and
their works. Right through objectively examining what the
verses say what the Hadith say, what the language is, what the
methodology of interpretation is, and what the scholars agree, is
most correct. That's the only way to determine what Islam is and
what Islam isn't what to do and what not to do. We don't determine
it by some spiritual feeling. Okay, these are this is one of the
ways of misguidance Okay, so the head the guidance Huda to is Iman
comes from Allah, but guidance to the Sunnah, and how to practice it
comes from scholars. Okay. So
many people do fall into even sometimes, temporarily, or in sort
of the short term, this idea that will,
I feel really good, therefore, what I'm what I'm doing must be
good. Or I had a beautiful dream, and therefore what I'm upon must
be good, or someone so his face is full of light, therefore,
everything he says must be true. No. If that was the case, he would
have chaos. We have objective measures, right? objective
measures to study and examine with our heads, okay. Collectively, not
just one person, one person can have biases. We have a
collectivity of generations of people who also have intelligence,
who also are looking at the same sources, coming with conclusions.
We call these conclusions, much hudl madhhab, right, the dominant
opinion of the form of the hip, okay, and fatawa. The idea of
fatwah is to take a weak opinion, in a method, right? That's the
idea.
Unless the matter is absolutely new, that it needs a complete new
he had, and that he had, should as well be through
a number of Allamah because he had of one person remember, one person
has bias, the only one single individual has no bias as
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam after that every one person can be
vulnerable to errors, limitations, biases, political biases,
otherwise, alright. So that's why today even when they have to have
fatawa, they usually get a council of Allamah. Okay, and the whole
council issues the federal together, right, so that no one
person's biases are weaknesses or vulnerabilities or other
interests. Can cloud the federal right? And that's the right way to
do it. And either way, when I talked to chips at one time about
some issue like that, he said, our the way is, you wait until years
pass and see what the community is really starting to accept. So now
you wait. And once
the issue is passed on to many, many, many hundreds of scholars,
right, then the truth will rise to the surface.
What time is it now? You want to stop here?
We only did a short bed real quick.
What time is 339? All right, we could stop here because the next
one is at a bath piano and what is in it? Let's see if anyone has any
comments here.
Is the root
for words for toe to toe? No. It's not
It's not
Tortor is a life giving mountain
Okay.
All right. There are no other questions. So
oh here questions as a comment, no profits are made in such a way
that no one has any excuse to reject them. Right? Correct. Or is
that Allah has stripped them from any excuse to reject them. Now
strangers, they're not physically marred or have defects. In fact,
Allah has made them more handsome, and their bodies are perfect. Say
Musa alayhis salam they had made an accusation about his body.
Allah azza wa jal caused one time while he was taking a bath,
that his clothes drifted away because he used to never bathe
with the other men. It was it was hard for them to bathe together in
their in their Cydia said no Musa didn't go out of higher modesty.
So they accused his body of having some defects. That's why he's
ashamed to be with us. So Allah caused a rock to take away his to
drift away with his clothes while he was taking a bath. Then he went
to follow the rock to get his clothes. And he came upon a large
company of the men of Benny serif sitting together and they saw his
body and they said, By Allah, there's not a defect in his body,
not a single defect in his body. Remember, Imam Abu Hanifa
mentioned in his cover, that the noble prophets are protected from
major and minor sins, both before and after the Prophet. Many people
ask what does it mean? That Oh messenger we have forgiven your
past and future sins, the prophets I send them they don't do
disobedience to Allah azza wa jal. Rather, what this means is when a
prophet saw I said them does something good and there was
something greater to be done that for them, or that at every stage,
the prophets, awareness of matters and status becoming better.
Therefore, he makes Toba from his past, even though his past was
already illuminated. So there's more illumination, coming every
day for every prophet. This is one of the meanings of when an Africa
to Cairo Nakamura, the end what is to come is always better than the
present. Right? So the for the Prophet Muhammad, I sell them and
all the prophets, but their future is always better. The Prophet
never has a dip in Amen. Right? They don't dip like we do. We
don't know how we're gonna die. We don't know tomorrow. We don't know
this afternoon, we can dip, right? They don't dip. They're constantly
in gaining more illumination to the hawk. more awareness
of everything, so that they would actually make Toba from their past
which was already illumination. Right? So that's the it's the
cloud of the newbie if someone asks What is the point of the
movie that's what it is.
Deirdre Ritchie is asking what are the priorities are the order of
steps in Dawa to non Muslim parents?
The if they are part of a pagan tradition is to show the folly of
paganism, right? To tear down that consumption that is La Ilaha.
First part, if they already people have the Kitab al Kitab, they
already have that. Now they need to be to recognize the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the best way to show them the
prophets of Allah Allah is to teach them what does the Prophet
and Islam in general say about Allah Himself? Because you will be
surprised of how
simplistic Okay? And how little detail of divinity and theology
exist, right? In Judaism, Christianity, right? Very simple
things that are in Corolla, right? What's the name of Allah subhana
wa, McLachlan, right? The simple things that are the reasons people
rejected these religions, right? This is why and this is not to
like, make a general statement. But Muslims have to be careful,
right of when we want to latch ourselves always with the
Christians because we are fighting the same enemies, the secularists,
atheists and, and all those who are morally degenerating this
society. Okay, because you have to realize the only reason this
secularism, atheism and moral degeneration is occurred is
because of the Christianity was unfit to handle those situations
in the first place. Christianity as it is, it was meant to be a
temporary, right faith for a certain period of time for certain
people. It was not meant to be the universal religion for all people
for all time. And that's what
It failed miserably in Europe. Right? So in fact and so maybe
politically or practically maybe you're you're gonna have good
relations, better relations with them than others. But
theoretically, you actually need to expose the differences so that
people do not lump Islam Judaism, Christianity, it's not all lumped
that Judaism or Christianity there historicity is zero. There is zero
historical evidence of the existence of Moses and Jesus like
historical physical evidence, zero, maybe they're gonna say
there was for a little bit for Jesus right? But the idea of
tracing back our religion to anything more than tales and
folklore, exists in Islam and does not exist in Judeo Christianity.
Is there a chain of transmission to make sure this is God's word?
Right to make sure this is Moses, his word are Jesus's words. It
doesn't exist you have to rely on people you don't even know. The
Torah has 100 year gap in his chain of transmission. Nothing was
there, right?
That years in Babylonian captivity, the years in Babylonian
captivity, from the time of Jeremiah, biblical prophet
Jeremiah, we'd known an hour because atomia to the time of
Hosea
was there 100 years Right? Why did they call some people that Musa
say Jose of Nola, that idea came because they were all taken to
Babylonian captivity, all of their hoeft love of the Torah died, all
of their scholars died, who was 70 years Babylonian captivity. Then
it was one of the Persian kings, whose name is Cyrus, Cyrus, the
great Persian king. He came he had some sympathy for the Hebrews, he
said, Go back to your homes, right? They went back to their
homes one problem, right? No Torah. Right. Elder her father
died. They don't have their book anymore. They did not have their
book. There's no trace of their book. Okay. Then they came to who
was their, one of their youth had come went from Babylon sort of
escaped. And he really wanted to see what Jerusalem was like the
promised land that his grandfather and forefathers talking about.
That were our origin. So he comes, he goes, what does he find caught
up? Complete destruction. Nothing there. Not a soul. Right?
Everything's destroyed. So what did he do? He went in, he tied his
donkey to a pole and took a nap. Right in the middle of the day.
When he woke up, he found something really odd. A pile of
rubble of bone was his mule. And his lunch was just as it was.
Right? His lunch was just as it was Allah subhanho wa Taala told
him, You were asleep for 100 years. You died and we gave you
life again. Right?
Look at your donkey. pile of bones. And look at your food. It's
there. He came out of this little building that he was in. He found
Jerusalem filled with people walking children, okay, roads,
homes,
merchants, all the Jews had come back. So he came to them. Okay,
and
there was no
Torah. That was the big problem. He said, Oh, there was one buried
in a certain location. They went they all follow. They dug dug it
up, they found that had been disintegrated. Right and they
became sad again. Then Allah azza wa jal sent the light came from
the heavens and traveled for days. Weeks, everyone saw the light.
They followed it. Right people it started to come closer, closer and
closer to Jerusalem. Right? So that they all followed it. And
this light was really to attract all the people. This light then
came right upon mosaic and went into his body, right into Osya.
And when this light, there was the Torah, he or it was the he then it
was the revelation. He then recited the Torah from start to
finish, and all the scribes were there writing it down. So the
entire Torah, okay, has a 100 year gap in his transmission and it
relies eventually on one person which is OzAsia. Right? That's the
story of Aaron Sorensen. Bacara. Okay, so this idea of that I'm a
rational guy. I'm not going to avoid River, lower my gaze stopped
drinking, not to Zina, wake up for fetcher, get my feet wet at 5am
Unless I have real proof that I'm not doing some hocus pocus thing,
right?
I'm a rational guy, let's say hope there are a lot of people out
there. I'm not following some emotional thing. I'm not going to
get on my knees and pray to God unless I'm sure right, what I'm
praying to. So this is why we have to trace the historicity of Islam
we can trace our knowledge back
Okay, back to the Messenger of Allah and in him is our trust. And
not only that, the trust of the messenger of allah sallallahu
Sallam comes from knowing that he was accepted as an honest man to
his people before that, right? For 40 years, then he came. Okay. So
this is the concept. And this is why this idea that putting Islam,
Judaism, Christianity, and lumping them has a danger in it, even
though it may have also some natural thing, obviously, if one
guy believes in God next to you, and believes in
normal marriage and believes in some morality is better than a guy
who has nothing that's true. Even the Quran tells us that the
Christians will be have some mawatha between you and them,
right? Because you have similarities. They're not they're
humble, right? As the Quran tells us that most of them they have a
humility that other people don't have. They have, you know, these
sorts of things. So on that level, yes, but on the level of theory,
you actually want to distance yourself from something that is
really the cause of the rise of secularism, and the inability to
defend faith and belief. So that's a little side note. So when it
comes to Dawa, he wanted show them, listen, look at what the
Quran says about God. Look at this detail that the prophet has given
about God, right? And it will touch their heart but isn't Allah
right? And from that can be a doorway to believe in the prophets
of Allah when he was setting them, but you shouldn't, you wouldn't
really need and then there actually, another branch of Dawa
is what you call
what they call anecdotal evidence, anecdotal evidence, right? And in
this, the Muslims have to practice walk, what they walk, walk.
What is it, walk the talk or whatever else? Walk the walk,
right? So if the Muslims are equally getting drunk, equally,
getting divorced, equally, having bad manners equally having torn up
families, then there's no anecdotal evidence, then no theory
will benefit you. Right. But if you as one person can show that
you've changed, you're better you're different. Right? Right,
then that's an example. That's anecdotal evidence in front of me
this thing works right. And if commute families and convict
communities can also walk the walk, right, then you become a
witness for the whole nation. We become witnesses for the whole
nation, the whole nation will have a reputation. Well, Muslims, their
divorce rates are down, right? Muslims, their STDs rates are
down. Okay, one time a woman walked into a Muslim gynecologist.
She walked into Muslim woman she gave her a form to fill out she
took a page back I don't even think that's legal. Right? She
took all the pages like how many times you have * a week right?
You know, these types of questions, or you wouldn't know
but zero go to gynecologist but these these questions like about
sexuality, STDs, right? She just took it back. I don't even think
that's legal. She's got to fill it out. But she she knew it was
Muslim not gonna do that. Right. But the point is that if we can
objectively have these qualities suicide rates down, okay.
Crime in the Muslim community is down like chances of Muslim
becoming a criminal, right? Cheating on the job like
statistics to divorce rates, alcoholism, suicide.
All these things can objectively be down you become a witness
to the society that you live in, but we've got to walk the walk and
the biggest fitna of all is not the cohort of people. It's not
shaytaan it's the Muslims themselves. Right? Not having is
for the dean and not having a
headmaster, the deen and an action and all these things.
