Similar to Amanda Haman hamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam
ala Rasulillah. While he was talking to Manuela, we're back for
our Monday live stream. And last week we talked about the
importance of the issue of envy. And that happiness is actually
more about removing certain abstract things from our from
ourselves, then it is about acquiring. So a lot of times we
imagined think about happiness as acquiring now the first thing is,
some people might ask, well, well, is our job happiness? Is happiness
really our goal? Well, actually, happiness is not a goal. But it's
also it's actually a reflection, that there's something right going
on that there's something correct happening. And the proof of that,
is that the most important things are written for an individual as
soon as he's rural enters his womb. So the prophesy set him said
in the famous Hadith, which is in the 40, no way that then the angel
comes and one of the end it writes his edge L has his it is because
Alma and then lastly, he writes the most important thing for last,
and Shakti Yun outside, right, I shall pay you, I'm saying, so is
he? Is this person going to live a miserable life? Or are they going
to be sad or happy or felicitous? So the point about this is that,
firstly, what is it that determines what is happiness? And
what is sadness? So likewise, this whole subject shouldn't be
separated from the deen itself. So the meaning of sad is part of the
meaning is that your situation in this life leads to a long term
benefit. All right, and a benefit afterlife. So there's no point in
having any happiness. Now, as we all know, secularly speaking
evening, there's no point in having any happiness now, knowing
that in 40 years, it's going to lead to misery, like it's going to
lead to cancer, okay, or it's going to lead to divorce, or any
other thing. So that's the first thing. So we can all agree on
that. Now, once we believe in Africa. Now, we realize that
there's no point in any happiness here. All right, or any pleasure
here if it's going to lead to misery in the Echo, okay, or
Hellfire in Africa, so even the meaning of happiness. The second
thing is that what we actually believe is that all of the sacred
law has not just come just to test us and what people think it's
like, oh, God's gonna test how much patience you have, and then
he may give you a reward later, no, rather, the sacred law is
coming to us to tell us how to be happy right now, not just in the
future, right? How us and our societies themselves can attain a
type of serenity, and to meet Nina here in this life and stability
here in this life before the next life, okay, so some people imagine
that this shitty comes to just test how to make you have a
miserable life so that you can call in the ACA, and then be happy
and get your reward there. That's actually not the case. Right? So
anytime, though, that you might say, Well, okay, well, if the
shutdown wants us to attain happiness, and and all the folks
that say this, by the way, that all the shitty AI comes to remove
the deficit and to bring them in Africa. But it's just people don't
understand what it means to be happier how to attain it, okay? Or
have a wisdom on the importance of stability. So the, what the Quran
is telling us is that, where do we leave off
this see this dog barking, I don't know, every time I come out to do
the live stream now, this dogs after, after me here, and his is
owners trying to call him back, but he's like, literally right at
the edge of the fence. And his owners yelling at him now, so got
me distracted. But what we were saying is that, just like a child
doesn't know what's going to make him happy. Likewise, we are like
children, relatively speaking, because we don't know, in 60
years, what our action today is going to affect 60 years, let
alone the extra. So just like children today, alright, don't
know that it's sleeping early studying. All right.
You know, learning manners, okay, doing these types of types of
reading is going to benefit you. Okay? And not eating, Candy
playing etc, that we only let you have that because your your nature
wants it now. So we let you have a little bit of it now, alright, to
get it out of your system. So you don't fantasize about it or it
doesn't become some kind of mystery in your mind. Because the
more something becomes a mystery, the more you want it. Okay? So,
parents will allow that for a little bit. Okay, because that's
what they need now. But they know that if you want to have a good
future, then what you're going to do is learn some discipline, learn
some manners, learn some hard work, read, do these types of
things. And that's what's gonna benefit you. sleeping all day in
the summer is not going to benefit you studying, getting a good
internship, that's what's gonna benefit you. So we all understand
that children don't they want to be happy, but they don't even know
how to be happy. Okay, or they know how to be happy right now.
They don't know what is required to establish happiness down the
road. Write down that 2030 year timeline that we as adults have
been having
have already been through that, right? So likewise, the MBR and
the revelation have come to us with something that we don't know.
Like, we don't know what's coming. Right? We have no experience,
what's going to go into it? And that sounds like the human being
by himself is not to blame. All right, because all we know is
right now, all we know is this life. That's the only precedent we
have to go on. So we have faith, we take on faith, the aspects of
the afterlife and Africa. And so we trust in prophets, when it
comes to what they're telling us is coming, and therefore what we
need to do to prepare. All right, so be light, don't have so much.
Don't worry so much about this dunya because you're going to
leave it okay. Likewise, you would tell the same thing to a kid.
Don't worry so much about what the kids in kindergarten, think about
you. Don't worry about so much that the kids in fourth grade,
think you're a nerd for reading so much. Okay. Well, likewise, in the
same way, the profits are telling, don't worry what people think
about you here. Don't worry about amassing too much. Whatever
happens is going to be forgotten. Just like a high schooler. If
they're depressed, you're just gonna listen, you're gonna go to
college and on like, the second week of college, you're gonna
forget everything that happened in high school. Okay? It's just a
whole new world has just opened up. Okay. Now all these nerds that
went off to Harvard and Yale, and there were a bunch of geeks in
high school. I don't even know if they have this breakdown. The back
in the day, the breakdown was jocks, right? Nerds. Okay, and
then you have people in the middle who are good at everything, a
little bit of everything, like these golden boys. Okay. And then
you had the grunge types who are like weird, okay, and they ended
up doing the shootings. Okay, so you had all these different groups
out there? And likewise, what would you tell a kid, right? I
don't know if that exists. Now. They're probably, it's probably
different now. But that's how it used to be. Okay. So you would
tell a kid doesn't, it doesn't make a difference. If out of 400
kids in your grade, you're like the least cool kid, okay, because
the moment you step foot into your Ivy League college, it's all gonna
change the moment you get your acceptance letter, all of a
sudden, you're the coolest kid in school, right? So it's all going
to change. Likewise, this dunya all the struggled struggle that
people are going through, and whether or not they're popular,
otherwise, all that's going to change, the good of it, and the
bad of it, the good of it doesn't benefit you. Okay, in other words,
your fortunes, your good fortune does not going to benefit you,
Debbie, being cute in this life is not going to benefit you in
Africa, being rich is not going to benefit you being of lineage won't
benefit, what could benefit you. Okay? If you have good deeds on
top of that, alright, if you have enough to win over the
intercession of your family, then a good family would benefit you.
Alright, righteous family benefits. But ultimately, none of
that stuff is your ultimate benefit. So we're told and we're
taught, ignore all this stuff. Alright, so now, in the same way,
in the same way a person goes through this needs a lot of hope,
get and this was a moment of Azalea. And again, we're reading
from this book and I every week I read from a different book off the
shelf, and this is one of the best books that you could buy mcdata
here along with Dean it's by a member of Azaria translations by
Marwan Calif,
translation done out of the printing is done out of Turkey.
Really nice binds and sticks on your bookshelf, pops out of your
bookshelf with the orange cover here. But
what he says here, is that because our whole faith and religion
relies upon acting for now, for the future, we don't realize that
acting for now also benefits are now and the near future, which is
this life, all of this live. But ultimately, we're acting on for
the far off future. We're on chapter four on page 368. And
exposition on the excellence of hope and enticing to it. The
chapter is 33 on hope and fear, what he says something very unique
here. That hope is more important than fear. Okay, that verily
working on hope is superior to working on fear. Okay, as the
closer servants to exalted gut are the dearest to him. Okay. And love
wins with hope. All right, so fear breeds good behavior and
obedience. Okay. But love breeds better behavior. Sorry, hope
breeds better behavior and love. Okay, so hope breeds has a lot
better fruit, right? than fear. Fear might have an immediate
impact, okay, but hope has a greater fruit. Okay, so that's the
difference between the two, and you need both. The fear has an
immediate impact, right to do surgery, surgery has to shock
someone out of their state of heedlessness and sin while fear
hope though, breeds a better behavior, a better mood better, a
bad and ultimately more love for the divine. And hope is what we
need to think about because you'll MAMP outside the penises column
and Allah subhanaw taala tells us the day that honesty benefits,
okay, the people who are honest because oftentimes, honesty
doesn't always benefit a person in this life. Okay, now all other
virtues will
will do will benefit you but a merchant, for example, if you're
in trade, if you're trying to pass anything off any relations between
human beings, there's never 1,000% Honesty. Okay? Because we know
that there's a lot of harm with the truth, right? The truth isn't
always pretty. So, but the sick in general, right, in general, will
require some sacrifice in this life. And the only way to actually
do it is to be by thinking about the effort. All right, because
what we said last week, you can't ask someone to remove dunya from
their hearts, from their interests or what have you, you have to
displace the dunya you can't just remove it because nature abhors a
vacuum. Right and the nature of Allah's creation in this in this
world, it pours a vacuum, there's rarely an empty space, if you have
an empty bed of soil, what are you going to have weeds in got? It
abhors a vacuum, so your heart as well and the human human heart
abhors a vacuum. So you can't just say stop doing this stop loving
this rather you have to say do this instead. And displacement
occurs, right? You put in a ton of good and the bad overflows out,
okay? The two can't coexist and say nice to give this out. If you
have a vessel has fire in it, what happens when you pour water in it?
It goes out, okay? And if you have a vessel with water, what happens
when you put fire in it evaporates? The water evaporates.
Okay. So, for hoping for good, brings you closer and endears
while fear prompts flight. Okay. So the beginning should be a
strong a good dosage of fear that makes you afraid of certain
barriers and limits. All right, like a stove. You don't come near
it because you got burned once you only need to get burned once but
you need to have hope every day. Okay, so then he says, None of you
will pass he indicated this prophets of Allah when he was set
up, none of you will pass away save he thinks well of God.
Prophesy cinema saying on your deathbed. Think well, Allah
subhanho wa Taala and the people should remind people of the Mercy
of Allah subhana which Allah on their deathbed.
And he said Allah while he was selling visited a man who was in
his death throes and asked how do you find yourself at your place?
He replied, I find myself afraid for my sins and hoping for the
mercy of my Lord. Some people wonder, how do we have fear and
hope at the same time? Well, fear and hope occur by fear of our
sins, but hope for Allah's mercy. So the object of the fear and the
hope is different. The object of fear is our own sense. And the
object of hope is Allah's mercy. Okay.
He said, the two never came together into the heart of a
servant, except that Allah granted him what he hoped for, and content
of what he feared. So an M, Min Maquila is that it feels smug.
Even though you have plenty of sins, you feel that no matter what
happens, I could do all these sins, nothing's bad's gonna
happen. That's the first problem. Okay. And the opposite is the case
too. We have so much hope that Allah is so merciful. There's no
way he could, he could torture me. Right? So the two were my sins are
so minor in comparison to others. One of the biggest things that
shaytan uses is that he says to Okay, what did you do? You did X,
Y, and Z, well, so and so is doing 10 times worse. And all these
people are doing 100 times worse relativity. And since this is one
of the things that people if you notice, that are not educated
Indian or not even committed Indian, they have this habit of
patting themselves on the back by saying, Okay, well, we didn't do
so many Sooners, right? And we have some sins here and there, but
other people are swimming in a river and Zina and drinking
Hummer. Okay. So that's how they pat themselves on the back and
justify their cowardice almost in facing their own reality, that
they're their shortcomings, because it takes some braveness
and boldness to face your shortcomings to admit to the
truth, at least to ourselves, right? That how we are all right,
and how much work we need to do. So in order to not do that, to not
do the hard work of auditing ourselves. And first of all, the
fact that we audit ourselves is already cheating. Right? Because
nobody really should audit themselves. Okay? You audit
yourself, you're gonna go easy on yourself. Can you imagine if you
were to hire a chef, who knows the book, who knows everything, okay?
And he's gonna follow you around, and actually divulge and release
security cameras to him to now do an audit of your deeds. I mean,
we'd all be like, drought, right? We all be finished. But Allah azza
wa jal, he's actually given us some Rama. He said, Listen, don't
ever tell anyone your sins, audit yourself. Right? Has he woke up,
went to her several provinces and said, you do your audit for your
own self before Allah takes you to account. Right? So and even when
Allah takes us to account if he's hid our sins in the in this life,
it's a sign of forgiveness in the next life. Okay, so that's if we
ordered
ourselves, right? We go easy on ourselves. Okay? He says now. So
our fears for our sins and our hope is in his Rama. And those
people who constantly compare in sins, they're really doing
themselves a shortcoming. You'll never, all right, you'll never
advance. If you're always looking at those who are worse than you.
That's what I promise them to look at those who are better than you,
and then compare your good with their good, their
Zote and years old, their indulgence, right, which is very
low, and your indulgence, very high, right? So constantly compare
yourself to them, and so much so mentorship behavior coming from a
minimum, if you only could could find the site of pain and only
have the image of them. Right. Right. And all you could do is
love them. The Robert gave two criteria. And if you are so weak,
okay. And sometimes I read some of the biographies of even
contemporary people. And I say to myself, this game is over. There's
no way we're catching up to these. Alright, so these men,
but the Prophet gave two things, a mother, mom and a hob on Yom
Okayama. He resurrected with those who you love. Okay, so what does
that mean? Does that mean I have all His rewards? Nope, was not
equal. Right? However, the protection you're behind him in
protection. So if he's protected from all these
all these trolls who have no internet, well, disasters of PM,
okay. And they would have struck you but you're being in his camp,
because you were resurrected with him. You'd be protected from them.
Just like if a man has a home, and there's a storm out and he lets
you in the home. Okay. Is it your home? Nope. Did you earn it? No.
But are you protected from the rent? Yes. Are you warm? Yes. Are
you eating? Yes. Do you have a place to sleep? Yes. So it's not
yours. But you get the protection that Lahoma Milena while I lay him
out, Elena. So that is simply by loving someone loving a type of
people and mentorship behavior coming from a minimum and trying
at least to have even the superficial, okay? Because that
breeds love to imitate someone is a sign of love. So actually
imitating the sleight of hand is encouraged, even if let's say it
all, Everything's bad. But that least one thing I could do is like
pick up on this work, or, you know, try to appear like them. At
least this what it does is it breeds love, the more you imitate
someone, it breeds love, and then all of a sudden, maybe one day,
it'll actually
trickle down as because that he says, the sick heart, right? It
keep the sick stomach keeps vomiting the food, but what is
your solution, stop eating, you die, no, keep eating, maybe one
day, it'll actually come down. So likewise, keep imitating you keep
failing, maybe one day, the circumstances will change. Right,
and it'll work out. Okay, and you'll become what you've always
imitated. So the idea that loving a people, you'll be resurrected
with them, doesn't mean you have their deeds doesn't mean you don't
have sins. It means that what they are, what their deeds, protect
them against from the howl of gamma, the disasters of gamma, you
get protected against just like the metaphor we just gave with the
home and the storm. Alright, you love someone, he invites you into
your home into his home, you're protected from the storm, it's not
your home, okay, you don't get credit for it. Right, but you're
protected from it.
He says barely
one who was so overcome with despair, that it imparts to him
lethargy, or so overcome with fear that it harms him as well as his
family, then both cases need medicine for treatment. Now, when
we talked about the sins of bliss, and we said that it was envy was
the first, obviously, and the envy was actually love of dunya. And
dunya, we said is not just material world, it's anything that
distracts from Allah, and his dunya was his rank, that he had a
lofty rank relative to the rest of creation. He was above all right,
the bulk of the rest of creation, including the angels, that's what
he loved. So when he says no, this rank is actually going to go to
Satan that Adam had, he said,
he became full of envy. So envy is a fruit it's a it's a
function, of love of other than Allah. So that when Allah gives
that thing that you love so much to someone else, right, and you
become full of envy, right, then
then you suffer from envy. But if you love something for the sake of
Allah, then you should have no problem if Allah himself right,
just wills to give it to someone else because you love only love
something because Allah told us to love it. So the real love is Allah
and the love of something else is the function of that love of
Allah. Okay? So therefore, if Allah Himself chooses to give it
to someone else, that's that's his choice. I accepted, he would he
all his will, right? And you've come to love his will. So someone
loves something like wealth, so he can given sadaqa and draw near to
Allah. Then if Allah gives wealth, well, why did he love the wealth
in the first way for the sake of Allah? So if Allah chooses to give
it to someone else,
Let me give it someone else then I love Allah as well. Okay. So
Iblees actually love the nearness because of what it did to stroke
his own ego.
So, but all this still could have been forgivable, okay then he
refused to bow still could be forgivable, okay? Still could be
forgiven, because even they compare the sin of Adam and the
sin of bliss. And I said, Look, it bliss sinned, and his sin is
actually you can almost understand it from the aspect that this
creature has been worshipping Allah for over 1000 years. And it
is said that there is not a place on this earth, except that the
police had prayed there. That's how long he lived on this earth.
Okay, and he had prayed everywhere he went, okay. So on this very
piece of Earth was the forehead of, of at least at some point,
right making sense. That's how long he prayed. That's what one of
the Hadith tells us. So, after all this, then he gets, someone else
comes in his place. You can understand it. All right, so much
so that the moon efac in Medina, Abdullah, no Babe and saloon, when
he was so full of bitterness towards the prophets of Allah when
he was suddenly one of the Muslims said, O Messenger of Allah, go
easy on him. Because as you were coming, we were preparing the
crown for his head, he got stripped of his crown, right? So
he's full of envy towards the province at the bottom. So even a
Muslim is telling the Prophet go easy, because that's the situation
and we can understand that all that's understandable. Adam, in
contrast, he committed his sin on the first day, and he had one
rule, right? And it was a minor rule at that, okay, don't eat from
a tree. All right, you will you got all of paradise to eat from.
So. So the ultimate said the sin of Iblees is actually more
understandable of a reaction, even than the sin of Adam. But what's
the difference? Is what happened next, is Eliot's earlier despair.
So the real thing that killed the bliss, this is despair from the
Rama Wallah, that he disappeared, he and himself, there's no way I
can forgive me. So, in fact, he shows that in bliss truly doesn't
have any belief, right truly doesn't have any faith. And why is
it that Al Yasmin amarilla and yet sama Rahmatullah despair from the
mercy of Allah is actually
and if someone utters it, truly knowing what he means that
literally thinking with his head, there's no way I can forgive this,
right?
Actually, this is why because you're saying the Quran is lying.
You're saying Allah is lying when it says Rama to us? Yeah, it's
gonna say, okay, and Allah, Allah will follow and you should obey.
Well, ferromagnetic remain assured that Allah azza wa jal, he does
not forgive him. But if you give him everything else, he's telling
you what he doesn't forgive. So you don't have to try to guess
he's only telling you one thing he doesn't forgive you die upon
schicke not forgivable, everything else is forgivable. Okay. And this
is referred to as color shade. My Mercy expands all things because
the aktuellen Latina Takuan, many people they cite this as, let's
say, the Mercy of Allah is over all things. That's true. The Mercy
of Allah is not overall thing he's at the mercy of Allah is more
expensive than all things, okay. That means it can cover
everything.
Look, you have to read the rest of the verse faster actually, Lavinia
tycoon, I will only ordain it upon people who have piety. Right? I'll
only ordained it to the people who have piety. So yes, the Rama of
Allah is everywhere, but who's gonna get it? Someone who puts in
the effort, right? Someone who puts in the hours, someone who
puts who's willing to admit to their wrongs. So this is the issue
of Yes, is the issue of it is a major problem. And it is basically
one is saying that they disbelieve in Allah's promise, in his
capability to forgive all things, and it's actually magnifying our
own selves far more than what we really are, which is basically a
speck in the universe. What can you do, right that Allah can't
forget? What can you do? Okay. And anytime that an apt is
done something and earned the Wrath of Allah is He must have
touched upon something sacred, not from you yourself. There's nothing
you can do. That could. Alright, anger.
That could offend a lot as though from you. It's only because of
what we do relative to the sacred in any event. The point is, that
this issue of Yes, of despair is huge, and for our sake,
as modern Muslims, which I would venture to say that the bulk of us
are swimming in mozzie swimming in sins right now. Right, the bulk of
us, I would say that every day, we are assaulted and accosted our
sensory perceptions, our food, everything is Molo with our wealth
isn't what I want. It's soiled with some some mossy that in the
chain of transmission of our food from when it was out in the world
until it came to our plate or our wealth or what have you. We're
swimming in it. Okay, so we need
There's hope more than any other people. And any person out there
who's giving him this
is us giving a
anyone out there who's giving a message of misery to people and
fear. Right you will find that they will be pushed away from the
doubt because
because Allah subhanaw taala is telling us best share a buddy.
Give me give my servants good news, right? Best should a buddy,
someone who's trying and putting an effort you're supposed to give
them good news. Bushra you're supposed to constantly be in a
state of Bucha anytime you see someone that they love something
that's called Toby, Toby, and Toby needs to like put someone down or
make them feel dumb. Toby is only appropriate for heretics.
apostates, enemies of Islam, right? That you, you just stay in
and scoff at what they have to say. Okay. All right. But it
should never be for a moment. Who's putting an effort in he's
from Madison. Well, Jim, Ah, he's putting an effort in Alright, so
for all those people who are out there doing Dow, or are about to
do Dow, or in any time in the future, maybe teaching or doing
any doubt of any kind. Make sure for the mumineen do not make Toby
don't put them down. Right? their weaknesses, their false
understandings all with Rama and not that maybe Allah will have
that Rama a lot for you. Okay, that you take no like, like we
were taught Najib or the Katrina's lalala and you'll judge the
Katarina, which means if someone is you try to be considerate of
people's emotions. So maybe one day Allah will be considered of
yours, right? Be considerate of people's feelings. So that maybe
one day Allah will be considered of yours and that's really the
true
way of Ambia they all come with a message of Rama. Okay, so whenever
people are treating me Bill Minato for Rahim now with me Nene is
Rahim. Okay,
so anyone who wants to go and pick a fight and do all these things,
go and do that with some heretics go find the past dates go go if
you're in a bad mood, go fight with the Qadiani is okay, but
leave the Muslims alone. All right, so let's open it up with
your comments and questions. Anyone who has anything to say all
right. We have some people from Houston tuning in Texas.
Anyone have any comments or questions?
You can bring them up now
Yeah, off topic is fine. No problem.
Characteristics of Olia Allah subhanaw taala.
Is Taqwa is l and the proof of the n is a bad the proof of this is
three. The first one
is Allah statement in Elia or who Elon Matakohe right verily his
earlier or the Motoki Okay people have Taqwa. So you fear
transgressing the bounds. Well, what are the bounds you have to
have? And the proof of that? In the max, Allah has been a bad hit
the true fear of his servants, right to fear from the servants of
Allah, or those who are scholars, right, who have knowledge. And the
third one.
Another proof I can give you is the statement that
in the hadith of Wilaya, is that they draw nearer to what to Allah
through obligations, then they continue to worship Allah until he
loves them. So therefore, they know the difference between what
is obligatory and what is recommended. All right. So that's
an indicator of their knowledge. That's proof number two, that
knowledge is the second attribute really the first because even to
have taqwa, how do you have Taqwa? Right, you have to know what's
wrong. Right? That's the first thing you got.
So knowledge Taqwa. And then number three, is terrible. Because
nobody is going to be to not make mistakes, but Allah subhana which
Allah says, in the law, you have a total been born with a beheading.
He loves the people who have Toba and he loves the people who purify
themselves physically and indeed physically purify themselves like
from the Jasso right and in the deen that purify their deeds
purify their data it's purify their heart from from from envy
from arrogance, purify their eyes from looking at the Haram their
ears from hearing haram. May Allah subhanaw taala accept our Toba and
purifies
and number four, is they are devoted to a bad they don't just
do it.
and have knowledge and avoid the wrong and do their obligations now
they take extra time out every day to do a little bit of extra rather
than a The proof is that they continue to draw near to me with
no effort extra I bet that they don't have to do right. So, they
do a better So, these proofs that are just given these texts is this
is the general path to Wilaya and anyone who is started on firstly
the great
say that often Muhammad alginate the Salic okay, you need to
satisfy firstly whoever believes in the matter to begin with this
is this will I assume are just that you believe that such a thing
exists? Okay? Such a path to nearness exists. And then once
someone tries once someone puts the effort, right and seeks it,
then may Allah azza wa jal make us from it from them just from just
by virtue of that. Next question says
he's by Ivan Azzam. He says, How do you suppose to do when you fell
in love with a non Muslim hoping she one day convert to Islam but
fear of opposite?
Don't fall in love.
It's not good to fall in love. Use your brain first. Then fall in
love with someone who you know you're compatible with. Right?
This is the problem. You fall in love with someone, but you're not
compatible. Don't fall in love. Reverse it and recite a lot of
Quran to strengthen your heart from from being weak willed and
falling in love. Recitation of Quran firm makes firm the heart,
okay? I don't recommend someone falling in love with someone.
There's not compatible. All those women who fell in love with the
Beatles and Elvis and they're killing themselves that all the
girls today fall in love with Justin Bieber than ever gonna
happen. Right? Like don't fall in love. Okay, make your heart
strong. from falling in love with someone. I'm sorry, that sounds
harsh, but it's actually the best advice right? Don't fall in love.
Okay, then you're controlled by a love so find someone compatible?
Make sure it's practical. Then get engaged then fall in love all you
want. Okay.
What is your understanding of dream interpretation? Not much. Is
it something that can be learned academically? Or is there a
necessary medical metaphysical component to dream interpretation
both both Adam
and Nora that Allah puts in the heart of someone but you have to
ask someone else because I'm not really
learned on this
Alright, next question says with regards to wiping over the socks
during we'll do it what is the position in the medical school of
thought? Is it that one can wipe over waterproof socks or is
limited to leather sock one thematic here on this matter are
very conservative. It has to be a leather sock, the Shafia hold that
it can be a waterproof sock, the hammer please hold that it can be
a job Semak which means a sock thick enough that wiping the water
will not allow will not wet the foot. Okay. And those are the
positions on at the hand of us are like the magic is in this that it
has to be a leather sock.
Shoes. Yes. If it's over the ankle.
Fozia says I've heard that there are a lot of shaytaan how do we
identify them? Yes, there are human Ellia of shaytaan. That's
true. Okay. And the shaytaan means far from the Mercy of Allah. And
the sign of Alia. shaytaan is all the opposites of Olia Allah, and
is that they love the evil, not they do the evil, they love the
evil. And they are hidden like, Man is what? What you see is what
you get, right? Well, the way of Satan is the opposite. What you
see is not what you get what you see looks good. And what you get
is really bad. There was a second sign of the odor of shaytaan.
Reverse sign of OLIO shaytaan is that he actually loves the evil
just as a movement loves the good. Even if he can't reach it. I'm not
Oh man, I'm gonna help you even if you can't reach the good if you
love it, you're you're considered one of them. So this, I would say
thumb, their first sign is they love the evil. The second sign is
they're the opposite of a moment.
We say yeah, you're letting me know limiter Hold on a minute, if
I don't, right. So be one who look sad that so many is telling the
moment be one Don't be and whenever What You See Is What You
Get, which doesn't mean that you have to say all the truth all the
time. Okay, you can be selective in what you say. If there is a
benefit, okay? And if there will be otherwise a harm, but the only
shaytaan what they do is you see something really good. You get
something really bad. The exact opposite. What are the prophesies,
some say about the digit, right? He's gonna give you a river,
there's going to be a river of clear cool water and a fire,
choose the fire, right? And you'll find it to be the good and avoid
the river. Whoever jumps into that river. That illusion that he gives
you is
Gotta find it to be the fire. Okay, so everything opposite and
messy I had the gel the fake he's a fraud is a fake? Okay, is
everything on the outside and it looks good on the inside is the
opposite. So those are signs of the shale teen and inside I think
the shale Tina and it's actually putting the SE Jin out of
business. Okay, because we are so good at evil these days. I think
that we've cornered the market on evil and the shell Tina Jen, I
think most of them were unemployed
Sharifa Morgan says Santa Monica Monica was alive, but I got it.
Like I said, I'm gonna have to live but it got to what is the
ruling for organ donation?
First that one, if the ruling for organ donation is that the
conservative ruling is that your organs are not yours. They're on
loan to you. Okay. So you cannot donate what is not yours? The
second opinion is that if there is a fedora, then you may give it out
with one exception. Okay, then in other words, someone's life or
limb is going to be saved. Right? Then you can give your organ out
with one exception, which is the reproductive organs so you can't
donate sperm. You can't donate the eggs, your reproductive organs can
never be given out.
In terms of what's the chef a opinion on that, her follow up, we
would have to ask our resident chef a filthy side, Amir. I don't
think he's on Facebook, though, but we can ask him. The next
question is what is the ruling for taking off the life support
machine from a patient was totally brain dead? It is permissible, you
are not obligated to keep the machine on.
Also rules on those who requests for don't resuscitate?
No. If you can save someone's life, and they've requested that
you don't resuscitate them, then no they would you have it's an
obligation to save try to save someone's life if possible. It's
not an obligation to keep them on a machine an external force
keeping their life alive.
Samiha says Santa Monica like Mozilla, it's a question related
to Salat Aloha. Okay, if the Lord is at 1245, when is the limit to
pray. So right before the hook, so the hook comes in and their son is
at at the high point then no Salah is allowed at that moment. So
let's say five minutes before the event of the hook is the end of
the whole time, the beginning of the whole time is as soon as the
sun rises up enough that what they say is cut the room, which means
that if you stick a spear in the ground, the sun would be above
that spear. So the calculation of that is 20 minutes after Federer
is out. So look on the calendar if federal is over at 650, then at 20
minutes so 710 is shut up. So from Iraq, you could pray it right
away. It's a shocker becomes your Doha at the time at that point 246
or eight records.
And if you don't do that, then you can pray from the Iraq time all
the way up to a few minutes before then you can pray Doha to for six
or eight rock guys at a time. Okay? So Mohammed says Saddam a
couple of weeks ago I went to the masjid supreme evident. Look what
you had had been snowing all day the Imam said they will pray
Ayesha Maghrib and Isha together and quote a hadith Imam had a
thick Arab accent so I didn't understand clearly but heard
something. Yes. When the Imam and the staff of the masjid and the
more evident who they come to the masjid five times a day, right? So
when it's raining, or snowing, or fear, right, then the prayer can
be combined. Alright, so lots of load with us and Maghreb and Asia.
So there's only going to happen for two slots, either though, or
negative. So if it's raining really hard,
the Sunnah and Sharia does not require the Imam and then whatever
then in the regulars to come in the rain, and then go back home
and come to the rain again and go back home. So if it's raining
really hard, though, who can be prayed then us right away,
combining Maghrib and then a shout right away. Same thing. Okay, if
it's drummer drummer, and also right away, let's say, I'm not a
local. I just happened to be there and I have no intention for coming
back to us. It doesn't matter if the man prays it and is valid for
him. It's valid for you the only method that doesn't do this is the
Hanafi method.
Farouk says In your opinion, are Iein said and possession real
phenomenon are simply tricks psychological, they are real.
There is a Mufti of belief not a Mufti. I will laugh. They call him
now, because he's gone way beyond the bounds. Yeah, I used to like
the guy. I really he's a great personality, I have to say, right,
but he's probably like an apostate by this time. I mean, he denies
eschatology. He denies
it
He denies the return of Prophet a 7 million, which is in the Quran,
which is in the Howey. Okay? He's just I don't know what's going
into him. I mean, I really make dua for him, because he's such a
great personality and he is knowledgeable. And everyone, a lot
of people love him, right? And I myself used to like, be like
internet friends with a guy, right?
I don't know. I mean, what's in the water and in Birmingham or
something, but someone's got to talk to him, because he is gone
off the rails. And I make up for myself and him that Allah gives us
Sophia to return to the sun and V Pong. I mean, forget this on
Islam, because at that point, I mean, if you're going against the
highway, like not one line, two lines, three lines, several
points, right.
So several points against the highway and Quran, where you call
him on aspirin Matthew Ocala Prophet ASA Marie will speak to
people in the cradle and then old age as you reach old age, by
anyone's account, no. Right? And wherever we speak to ns, ns means
everyone The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly in heaven. Well, The
Good, the Bad and the Ugly won't be there. Only the good will be
there. Right? So he was going to talk to people here and this life
from the cradle. We know that happened, and in old age hasn't
happened yet. Right? So denying verses of Quran, return of Prophet
Aiza Okay, the Imam and Mandy. All this eschatology telling us is not
part of it's like Islamic information. What does that even
mean? So anyway, I feel really bad for him. Because I think it's
totally gone off the deep end. But may Allah subhanaw taala guard him
and bring him back to what is right. And what is agreed upon by
the Allamah we're not gonna bring anything new in this this this
golden age of Islam. Are we going to bring something new? All right,
in this golden age that we're living in and I'm being sarcastic?
Obviously, we're in the muck. Islamic scholarship is just you
can count the number of people these days. Right who just even
note the Howey which is this the basic idea of a Muslim what makes
someone a Muslim? Right? And the Sunni, okay, upon a historical
Gemma.
Are we going to now bring something new, right or go into
the books and look for some some rare statement? Okay.
So mine is saying is it put you outside of Arizona or worse when
the Halloween brings you something? Right? He's bringing
something from the Quran and from much awaited Hadith. Right? At
that point going against it will put you out of Islam. Right.
Anything that goes against the pneus, the Quranic verse that is
unequivocal that is in its language, crystal clear in its
tafsir crystal clear, such as where you call him on NASA
Finlandia waka hula where you call him on NASA who's doing it say
nicer Maryam, is there any difference of opinion on that? No.
Unless who is the NASA The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? Therefore
he's in the dunya not in heaven. Secondly, in heaven, there's no
old age. That's the first thing we all know that in heaven there's no
old age. Everyone is a youth in heaven. Okay.
Phil Maddy in the cradle. Is there any disagreement on that word?
Know what Carla in old age any disagreement? No. So the
conclusion is Muhammad Ali by all the Muslims okay.
The Prophet ACRS is returning back to this live now he's questioning
that and putting down on it. Okay, who probably question that the jet
to
any question the existence of set then what do we were sending sorts
of follow up for? Right and has it and what is the point of of Surah
number 113? Certain falak
protection from hesed that has it doesn't exist? What? Since one
I don't know what to say. Let's just take the next question before
I get annoyed here.
Can someone is asking here can you pray to delete from Quran or
Hadith or Quran proving Jamar Baneasa and yes I'm in memorizing
memorize it but very easily provided
shortly.
Prophet peace be upon him combined many times
for the rain.
Okay, provide that later.
Time watersedge, Aquila, for answering. I typically follow the
Hanafi side. So it makes sense why I never heard the question. Yeah,
because the NF doesn't do it. Don't do it. Our imam in the
masjid is 100 PV, and he steps out. Alright, and then the rest of
the GEMA does it because he's 100 he doesn't do that. What advice
would you give to one who constantly complains to you about
how Salah and other acts of worship have no effect in his
figuratively dead heart and nothing changes? He asks, What's
the point then? I pray but I don't even feel like praying. It's not
about feelings. Have you been? Alright? This is about avoiding
*. That's gonna be a worse feeling is it's not about
feelings. Do what you're supposed to do. Oh, there's anyone feel. I
don't feel like doing this math homework. I don't feel like paying
these taxes. I don't feel like following the speed limit. I don't
feel
Like putting my seatbelt on, I don't feel like locking my door. I
don't feel good about it. It's not about feeling good. Okay? It's
about avoiding harm. So do your premises wrong. You don't
worshiping yourself here. Okay? Obedience is the first thing.
Okay? Do we have to be obedient first, then whatever good comes
good. All right, but avoid the harm first, do the job. So stop
thinking so much about oneself. All right, that this is some kind
of yoga meditation that you're supposed to feel good, right? Or
else you get your money back. It doesn't work like that.
Because this is how does the layman identify who is a real
scholar by the testimony of other scholars? Okay. And the testimony
of other scholars will tell you that anyone who goes out there and
tells you that the judge is not something in Aki, the prophet ASA
Imam, that is not something in our theater has said, and we not
something that nakida Mirage was a dream that's also in the hallway,
by the way that it was actually physical, like filioque. Other it
says it in the wakeful state. So anyone who, who you look for the
testimony of the scholars of your time, that yes, this person knows
what he's talking about. So there should Oh, that's the whole point
of Gemma. Well, how do you know what a real doctor is a real
doctor because a whole bunch of other doctors graduated him from
medical school. Right? How many doctors does it take? For a person
to graduate from medical school? How many classes does he take? How
much residency does he do? Right? How many people have to sign off
on this person? So it's by communal understanding. So
likewise, you need to go around and get the input from other
automap that will all tell you that someone so is or isn't
speaking the truth?
Yeah, so the accreditation doesn't matter accreditation titles, just
just references, right? References. All right. And there's
no there's no scholar who's just hiding there and no one knows
about him, then you wouldn't know about him either. Right? Scholars,
the Imams the day, the day or the people who are doing Dawa. They
know one another, and they assess one they listen to one another.
They know each other's ideas. And so by this communal approach, then
that's how we know who's speaking the truth and who isn't. Everyone
has a Mufti Sheikh or other title forget these titles, look at the
content of what's being said and present it to other scholars and
then you'll start to learn what is and what isn't the dominant
opinion of things in the United Sona Gemma
Abdullah as a man says, Is it sunnah to wear a cap for men, and
I do when I'm in the masjid but in college I feel odd. It's not
necessarily a sun I've never seen in Beverly baths that is a sunnah
but is a a habit or a custom of Muslims of Muslim men to cover
their heads.
And there is one narrations stating that
stating that the melodica recognize that what we mean by
their attribute, and that is that they have headcovering well
outside Adam, but it's not from the major Sunon. But it's more a
CIFA attribute of the Momineen.
Especially in the places of pious piety, the the the, the places and
the times when they're doing a bad or other things.
Okay, see if I missed any questions here.
All right, next one says a friend of mine considered a spouse who is
Muslim. Does hijab, right? Maybe he mean, I don't know. Maybe he
doesn't do it. Yeah. The girl is jolly and very friendly. Who gets
along with everyone? Well, that could be a problem getting along
with all the guys. All right. She is someone who is very social, but
my friend has an issue when it comes to how she talks to other
guys. This is what I just said, right? And male family members
hugging high fiving 18 Plus jokes.
I know her personally and I know her intentions are clean. It's
just part of her character. Is this quality, something that
should be of concern for marriage? I think so. Because don't expect
people to change in marriage, take them and know that that's how
they're going to be so I won't pass a judgment on the actual
person, obviously, obviously, I don't know. I'm just saying But he
obviously mentioned he has problem with those things which he should
but in this sense, he should
realize that when you marry someone don't expect them to
change. So
know that that's how they're going to be Aleem. Hussain says is it
okay to take from IV anatomy when there's so much confusion about
him? We take the position mmscfd took which is that we don't read
his books. We have a good opinion of him and we don't read his
books. And that's also what the Habib teach none ago says please
would you recommend an introductory book and Hanafy flip
and if you flip and which method for beginners follow the method of
your community so if you're a desi, follow the Hanafi school and
the
invest the work in the Hanafi filk is translated by Faraz Han. And
it's the ascent to Felicity and it has basically a very good amount
of what a person would need. Maybe even throughout life in Hanafi
fiqh, again, it's by for us con. It's a beautiful white cover.
That's how you'll know it when you see it. And it's called the
ascent. I believe it's called the ascent of Felicity. I have a
couple of them on my bookshelf and I just actually referenced the
book and it has the Arabic it has the English I believe it has, but
it's a good book.
Sure, can ahead Hadith be taken into our feeder? If you could
prove a little explanation on this Thank you. We're gonna have to
cover that another time. But
is getting called and we gotta go
Oh, mine is seen as a correction
not a correction but addition in the Hanafi school they take the
covering of the head to be part of a a pseudonym, aka I sent him aka
I believe, highly recommended. That's what he said. So that's
what
is music haram or halal? The the texts on music are there and
they're not 100% crystal clear, right but they use the word man as
if and the folk AHA the scholars are predominantly when they
examined it, look at holding it that
it should be avoided and it is a prohibit prohibition with some
exceptions, such as the drum and then the chef, a school the flute,
like the loop is not forbidden in the chef a school. Okay, and the
drum and all the schools. So
that's the opinion on music. Alright, lastly
Can you show the book again short.
We read from this book here, which I recommend that everyone get
out of here ultimate Dean by a moment of his early beautiful
translation sticks out on your bookshelf. You can't miss it the
bright orange shiny cover
is it haram to put up pictures of yourself or kids in the home the
Muslims tend to based upon the Hadith the angels don't enter the
home that has images that the habit that we've seen the scholars
and the Muslims upon is that if they do if they keep pictures at
all, they keep them closed up in drawers or in albums but not
hanging on the walls. Alright, just to avoid some of the
the comments on the Hadith of the angels not coming into where there
are pictures up.
All right. Hamza Aziz, welcome Salam wa eoco May Allah azza wa
jal accept from us and may Allah subhanho wa Taala
forgive us and use these magentas as a place for all of our
forgiveness because these magentas zikalala First of all, if anything
that was correct, that was said is from Allah, anything that is not
is from myself. May Allah azza wa jal increases all and beneficial
knowledge and use these Majelis to wipe away our sins of the day and
