Grandfather May Allah subhanaw taala give him Janet and Phil a
dose and make his life in the grave easy. He's going to a
destination right now that we're all going to eventually. So
it's a great lesson every time you bury somebody, it's actually a
great lesson to observe that and to see what's happening. And to
feel that momentous moment because we're all headed there. And that's
basically the whole purpose of our existence is to make the end of
our existence and end of our life something that's
something that's good something that's better than this life
where are you asking them? What state are you in
all right, we are ready to go get you guys tell me you got a few
guys already.
This thing was in Chicago where the shooting happened. Somebody
caught this guy.
People are the world's gotten mad. There's actually literally no
safety anywhere. Almost in this country. Subhan Allah but then
again?
Yeah, that's not something new. Didn't we make? Didn't the United
States make
the entire entire countries unsafe? Weren't Afghan kids and
Iraqi kids you know, blown up stepping on on Mines?
I'd be what did they call those minds?
In the old days, it called the it's called the mind they have a
new name for whatever it is. It's the same thing didn't isn't a
Gaza. And we support this with our tax money. So when when bad things
happen, they don't just it's not a heated missile, where it goes Oh,
only to the criminal boom.
So if I go and I attack a family,
that family when they attack back then I can say okay, no, no, you
we didn't attack you, or you didn't attack us. We're good with
you. And let's just fire away only at the guy who hit us. No, that's
not how nations work. And that's not how general I don't want to
say the word karma because we don't really believe in those
terms. But the concept we do accept what goes around comes
around.
And when a nation does something against another nation, and there
is some kind of dua being done
that why isn't God like a guy did he did missile only striking, it's
going to be a policy. Lana?
That's what I believe we're experiencing because life life in
America has just become such a constant. Everything is negative.
All right.
Everything's negative. The culture wars, the negative race wars and
negative Gender Wars and negative. Now you can't even walk into or
without getting shot everywhere every other day. It's a random
location. It's totally random. Right? Like a school in Buffalo
random a nursery school in Connecticut.
It's like random, that's a supermarket. It was a supermarket
actually in Buffalo in New York. I think it was buffalo.
It was a marathon in Boston, a parade in Chicago, just complete
randomness. So it makes you feel like
the randomness of it makes you feel like it could happen any
second. And I guess that's the life that we live now. It could
happen in any second.
But the difference is that, you know,
are we learning a lesson from it and amping up security?
Says it's, it's sort of a necessity, but it's a shallow
interpretation of the events, interpretation of events, you have
to ask, Why is this happening? And of course,
we have answers because we have the hook and the truth about
the creation. And who, who is created and giving life and
sustaining this creation Allah? Hi, Alka, you.
Right? Our life revolves around Allah. Why is that fair?
Because at every moment, he's sustaining us. And what is he
asking back? Minimum? If you eat say, Bismillah if you don't say at
Hamdulillah, anything good? You do say Bismillah. Just some. And at
the end said humble anything moment is in that respect. Our
life revolves around ALLAH SubhanA wa, John. Good. But that's not
even anything near to what he gives us. Eight hours while we're
sleeping, you're breathing? Are you breathing on purpose? Your
heart's beating? Is it beat? Are you making it beat? Or is it
meeting by itself? You're growing? Good.
Just not that cool. But you're here. It's cool. But it's not like
what I expect. I expect frigid. I think if you give it time.
Good. We'll give it time. I want it rigid.
Because that's that's basically like we got the best system out
there. This is the best one
is the best AC. So I expect ice Freon free. I expect it like when
you go in the car. And it's like, oh, this is too cold. Right.
That's what I expect. If that's not what we're getting out here,
something's wrong.
You want again, error message. That's why it turned off again.
The codec turned off it was working before the
fan, whatever. Everything should be fine.
Just to come and check it out. Because I want see I don't want
all these buttons. How many buttons are here?
1-234-567-8910 1112 1314 there should be three buttons on are AC
on. And temperature. That's it. There for timer. What do we need
to time before? Like you can't remember to turn it on turn it
off. Okay.
The type of fan Do you want the fan going like this like that? You
want it coming out and bursting Alright, fine. That's buttons
acceptable. Clock, set the clock, a whole bunch of buttons sleep
mode light there's a light I guess that comes out with it. We don't
need all this. I like a device with three four buttons. That's
it. Right. Never Noticed Allah's creation of the human being. You
don't need a manual how to eat. You don't need a manual how to go
to the bathroom. Like you get a manual how to clean up but how to
use the human body is you there's only like a few rules, right
Subhanallah so like a few rules.
By the way, we have Habib sitting in for Ryan Ryan went to study for
Ireland. So I'm not going to say I don't know if it's a business but
I'll tell everyone who wants to study with Abdel Hakim Murad. If
you guys are in Spain, anyone here in Spain? There's an intensive
with check out the hachimura Masha Allah, so sorry to spill his
business. He was. I mean, it's encouragement. There's some
business you can spill because it's encouragement. So there's an
intensive Worcester hub, which we always encourage everyone to read
all his books, listen to his lectures, your vocabulary will
grow
your maturity, but you will feel so mature, right?
Then when you get bored and you're too mature, then you can come
listen to the nothing effects live live stream where you can unwind
yourself. Remember you guys remember the
Jungle Book? You watch the movie.
Remember that? Yeah, Baloo the bear. Unwind yourself. You watched
it right.
Okay, you never watch The Jungle Book. Kind of house. Did you go
into men? It's abuse.
Oh, hadn't TV, but one hour, two hours a week.
And back in the day there wasn't, it was hard to get movies to get
the actual VCR was like 8pm and like Wi Fi and the router was just
gone.
Yes.
All right, folks, let's begin with our sponsors. Number one, it's
Mecca books.com. And with Mecca books, we will be reading from the
biographies of the odia every Thursday, which means after
tomorrow, we will be reading from the
game, okay. Okay.
We'll be reading from the biography that earlier. So you get
that book. It's called saviors of Islamic spirit. So Mecca books is
the first one.
And then you need to study for your, your exams, your SATs, or a
CTS, everything, etc. You're going to study that with professors one
to one.com. Okay. And then lastly, patreon.com backslash Safina
society dot orgy. And that's how you can be part of this program
you can facilitate. Okay, this program, for example, because of
that we can have not room that is less than 90 degrees, which
literally the room hit 90 degrees yesterday. Okay. I mean that last
week, the room hit 90 degrees. Oh, it'd be hitting 100 Hundreds.
Yeah. SubhanAllah. Now, let's go back to the shooting. And I was if
you could pull up the latest on the shooting, so we could read it
out. But today the topic is speech, the speech of the
messengers of Allah release. And by the way, the topic is almost
like one of the sub topics that we cover here, every time the topic
is written, whatever the topic says, for the live stream, that's
just one of the topics we cover, like 50,000 topics for every live
stream.
What have you used to study with Abdul Hakim Murad, and she has to
have a dictionary and you have to write words down. And by the way,
your sense of humor become very refined. Right? Like there's a
sense of humor that's almost like with a fork and knife. And very
delicate and fine tuned sense of humor. Right that Abdul Hakim
Murad has and the joke will make you think you'll get smarter. Just
hearing his jokes. Okay. All right. What's update us on the on
the killer?
Man, we got to just to respect human life read something about
this killer. First. It's multiple. Wait, there's multiple shooters?
Actually, no, it's like a whole bunch. Fourth of July weekend was
marred by violent shootings across the United States.
Okay, and it's not to say it's what you have to understand
certain things. Whatever your leaders do, there's going to be a
blowback on all the people. This is how nation states work, right?
It's how nations work. The blowback is not just directly from
those people, other bad things will happen.
That's really the source.
Okay, it's not just about oh, he has access to a gun. Bla bla bla
bla, why are people going crazy? That's another question was so
distant from the Creator. That's why, right? Don't. Don't people
have guns in Yemen. I never seen a school shooting in Yemen. They got
you know, how much access to weapons they have in Yemen. How
about Afghanistan? They got access all you got a farmer he's got a
surface to air missile. And he's firing it out from the back of a
truck, right? I don't see any school shootings there. Why are
people gone nuts. It's because our social fabric is destroyed, family
concept is destroyed. And any connection to a create their
Creator that gives you any sense of stability is destroyed. And let
me tell you something else, as Muslims within Islam,
our understanding Allah subhanaw taala says beyond what we need to
overthrow him. With the believers, Allah is compassionate and
merciful.
That means the movement Nene, they have a special Sakina
that comes down from Allah. But it's not the same for everybody.
The Sakina is there. It's in the air, almost you could say it's
being coming down. But that doesn't mean everyone has access
to it. The first thing a person has to do is that if you want the
sun to go to come down, there can't be any clouds in the air.
There can't be storm clouds. Those storm clouds are misunderstandings
in our beliefs about Allah about Kedah, Kedah, about a bliss Some
people give shaytaan too many powers. They just think he has the
power to do everything. Okay knows
Satan has limits,
about a cadaver. And they feel that well, I'm destined to,
something bad's gonna happen and my dog is never going to be
answered. That's the suit of and below that opinion of Allah, or
beliefs, other heretical beliefs and octina that will completely
block the sun.
Okay, now you're positioned correctly as a Muslim to face the
sun, but heretical beliefs have blocked the sun. Alright, remove
heretical beliefs, you could still have lightly incorrect beliefs,
like bad opinion of Allah.
Not understanding his greatness. So you have clouds, so it's yeah,
there's sun coming through, but it's very cloudy. You go to
England in the middle of the day, chances are you go out to
Scandinavia in the middle of the day, chances are, it's going to be
cloudy. So yeah, it's daytime, I don't need to turn the lights on.
i The light, there's enough light that I could avoid the major
pitfalls of the road. But is it sunny to the point that I'm happy
and it's everyone's in a good mood. Now the sun is shining. No,
sun is not shining like that. So when people have light
misunderstandings in their Akihito Alright, he's still within an
Asana. But those light misunderstandings will block out
some of the light. That's why Oh, you who believe believe you're
letting me know? How do I take that? We should always take that
in a positive light. When we go to rectify our Aqeedah the more we
understand about Allah subhanaw taala every single true belief
about Allah to Allah, it strengthens you. It gives you more
nor it gives you more confidence. That's why that's the attitude
that I go into study on PETA. You go into study I actually did that.
Any correct belief that I come up on that I wasn't aware of before.
It's going to strengthen me.
Good. Like I still remember the day when I eyes came upon the
Hadith la Yato duel Koba inland dua, nothing repels the bad
Destiny except da. And its meaning is it repels it all together.
Allah just erases it from your book yam hola Masha will use
between don't want to catch up. Or
it means that it will come down but it won't harm you. As if you
you have an umbrella. If the DUA is stronger, it's as if you have a
tent. If it's stronger, it's a building got a strong roof. So
that yeah, it's coming down but doesn't affect me at all. Not one
bit. I'm not affected one bit. It can be raining right now. And we
don't get one drop of rain on our body.
Right so every correct piece of paper that we study
is for us strength power. It should you should feel so
energized
and that's why the automatic either in to Khaled al hidayah to
carbon Nash, she thought belay bad at elbow. If the guidance which
means the truth about Allah and His Messenger, come down to the
heart, it settles in the heart, your limbs, they get activated in
the service of Allah, a bed worship on the service of the
creation for the sake of Allah. When you learn and you correct
your APIA about the prophets of Allah when he was salam, every
single time that you learned something correct, you should be
you should feel inside the energy. And every time you learn something
that's false and you say okay, now I disbelieve in that you should
feel a weight good. Allah Allah Latina Telugu, Allah subhanaw
taala talks about it as chains that are that are on you. All of a
sudden, I'm free. So the corrector and the sound or the Akita, the
less chains you have on you, which is why we reject all these
superstitions and things like that, or in total rejection of
superstitions and these innovations and Crawford's etc,
they chain you up for no reason.
And then we feel the energy and strength. That's a sign that
you've understood something correctly. Alright, of course, the
real determiner of correction of what's correct is the Altima and
the focal one they would typically mean when they study a matter and
they analyze it.
So that's you got to clear the sky. Now once the sky is clear
what happened? The camera might not have battery
you guys can hear no battery
can they get everyone can hear right. All right. So we'll just
talk
So
what we have is that you have to clear the clouds. So you can get
Scott the sunlight to come in. But that doesn't necessitate that we
still are going to fully benefit.
All right, how it's very likely, it's very possible that our hearts
not clean.
We have a lot of hatred towards people, we got a lot of anger, we
have lusts, we have issues. So the soil is not clean. So if it rains,
pure water, and wonderful sun is shining, but the
the soil is unclean,
you're not going to get the fruits that you're looking for. Okay? So
you got to purify your heart. And that's like purifying the soil.
All right, you got to purify that soil. So now once you purify that
soil, that purification of the soil is your character. And your
character can make you beloved to Allah or not. I would have been a
Shadley said, Oh Allah make my sins the sins of one you love.
And don't make my good deeds, the good deeds of one you hate. Right.
So this concept and idea that you have multiple factors here, you
got the sun, you got the soil.
The more you interact with people of prophetic character, your soil
gets better and better and better.
soil gets better and your character gets better and better
we can stick into the in the middle.
Now there's a third part. What's the third part? Well, I can have
the best soil.
I can have the best sun
but I'm not getting any rain.
No benefit. You have to do a bed and thicker and that's the key.
The key the rain, is that a bird and the vicar? Right. That's the
key. So that's our analogy. And that's why we always have to
constantly be part doing three things rectifying and correcting
or updating? Yeah, no, bring it straight forward, like you better
straighten rectifying our octina
doing a lot of a bad and rectifying our character. A lot of
the rectifying the character is really important. You can become
beloved to Allah just by character. Honestly, someone's
generous, someone's kind, someone's forgiving, someone's
clean hearted, no tricks, no trickery. Like you're not some
kind of person that likes to play games with people. All right.
You don't carry grudges, you forgive people easily he have a
generous spirit. That's character. And the best way to have that
character. Now by the way, you can learn a lot of good character
traits from people
that are not most of them.
Certain things universal, why are the universal the prophets of
Allah when he was salam referred to prophets from other lands that
came around, that came.
Right. And there the the qualities that they passed on remained. So
many the Katherine and the most of them will all love generosity. For
example, everyone will love generosity. So for profit comes
with Tawheed and other things. And he also comes with generosity,
like the generosity will probably stay, right. Cleanliness, everyone
loves cleanliness. So a lot of the habits of prophets have turned a
little bit the,
the habits.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
The habits of profits of people, you can fix it however you want.
They will stay even if DACA are lost. So that's why and also,
Revelation is not the only source of of learning every single right
and wrong. There are certain rights and wrongs that are 50 in
nature, okay.
That are 50 in nature, so you feel good when you share. When someone
shares with you, you feel good, you realize sharing is good. So
your heart is your fitrah is one of your educators.
Good. And when we say this, we should look at the general body of
human behavior. All right, wherever you go in the world, if
you share, that person is going to smile. I can guarantee you you
land in Amazon rainforest. And I have
water and I share it with somebody who looks hot. He's gonna be
happy, right? I do the same thing up in Russia.
where they're not really well known for smiling, but I guarantee
they'll be happy. Or give them a nice hot drink in a cold day is
going to be happy. Right? So there's some universals so that
nobody says, Oh, this stuff is relative, no, there are
universals, okay. Those universals we should take into consideration.
That's Allah teaching us, every single person, I don't care where
he is.
The first time that he steals, his nervous system will react, and
he's gonna be like, so upset, and they show it even in the movies
that the rookie thief, on the night of the bank robbery, the
morning of the bank robbery, he's jittering, his knees moving, he's
nervous, right? But the veteran, just like sipping a coffee, he's
just done it so much he's killed. That messenger from Allah that in
your heart in your nervous system is a message from Allah is built
in that you shouldn't do these things. So I'm going to make you
nervous, even animals to SubhanAllah.
A cat, when it seals something, all right.
It goes and eats it, and it takes it and it runs and eats it behind
the couch.
Whereas if you put it yourself for the cat in its place, it'll eat
right in front of you. You notice this, even the cat it's built in.
Because we interact with it so much. We learn that we can learn
lessons from these animals.
We used to have a cat it was the most beautiful cat
ever was a bangle.
This cat was so beautiful. But it was wild. And we couldn't we had
to give it away.
We couldn't live with it. Okay.
We would put a chicken drum on our one of the kids
highchairs this cat would jump up take the chicken German runaway
and eat it. This cat got so bold, it would go onto the stove and
knock off the lid from the stove and just eat
from the stove. I said that's enough. Like I'm at war every day
with them. I'm supposed to be happy with my cat. I'm supposed to
come home and the castle would give me happiness, right? Not
stress. So we unloaded it. Now some of these animal rights
activists are so crazy. And the cat breeding world I didn't know
this. But the cat breeding world it's a whole nother world they
want to make sure. Okay, that nobody really gets into their
world without I guess their mission or whatever. But I don't
know about this worlds, right? So I put on some
some social media. So hey, I got a Bengal cat. I'm in Connecticut.
Who wants it? Give me 400 bucks, at least to get half of my money
back. Right.
So a lady said, I'll meet you. I'll pay you. I'll give it to you.
So where are we going to meet? Let's meet at the parking lot of
whatever I meet her there. She gives me a check. I give her the
cat. Right? Sounds like normal human behavior to me, right? I go
home. I never cashed the check. I just it just never I never didn't
get time to what do you build on us?
A whiteboard. Nice. Okay, so
I,
we wait. And I get a letter in the mail four days later.
Some big organization, right?
Animal rights, blah, blah, blah, illegal to sell a cat. You broke
your contract. Because I guess when we bought the specialty cat,
you have a contract.
She was an agent.
She was these people have a life. She was a spy for the Humane
Society.
That check. If I cashed it is evidence. But I never cashed it. I
didn't cash it because I was I suspected and I just never cashed
it. Right. And I get the letter, they sent the letter premature,
they should have waited till the check cleared, right. Humane
Society that you broke the contract. And you know, when you
get a cat, they give you a bunch of papers sign here. I'm getting
the cat. All right. I don't think this is a big deal. But apparently
there's terms in that contract, where you're not allowed to resell
it.
You're not allowed to do other things.
If you think I'm reading this thing, right? So we're taking you
to court. Okay. So we call this the breeder.
And we say listen,
okay, instead of taking us to court, how about we we get the cat
and we sent give it to you back? Of course she wants to resell it
right?
She gets to resell it gets messed up. But she she'll never say that
right? She said yes. If you don't want the cat, I'll keep you here
better than be homeless as obviously she wants to resell it.
So once we did that, then
She dropped the case against us.
But I never knew when people say crazy cat lady, no offense to
women, obviously. But it is they are insane. And there's something
wrong with them.
But that was the issue with the Bengal tiger, the Bengal cat.
Yeah, yeah, they have the Humane Society, blah, blah, blah, good.
In any event,
even the cat knows the sense. So right and wrong is built inside of
us and that it's not just right or wrong. Like we want to be so moral
and such goody two shoes know, the right and what is correct and in
line with Allah, it gives you Sakina inside yourself. You you
feel right about things. Okay. So that's the idea here. How do we
even get to this topic? Oh, that's the idea here that the more you
learn, and you correct your belief,
the more of the sunlight can come in, and then you you rectify your
character.
The good when you deal with people,
it settles in your heart nicely. It feels right. Good. And the bad.
Hakka facade got
it scratches in your heart. And you're embarrassed when people
talk about it. Right? So if, let's say, if I was if someone offends
me, right, and I'm gonna say as if someone offends me, and then I
shoot him a nasty message.
Good. I'll willingly tell everyone how much he offended me. But I
might not necessarily want everyone to see my message that I
responded back. That's not a good sign.
That's not a good sign. That's a sign that
if I'm noble, I wouldn't mind it being public. I wouldn't mind all
my communities being public if it's noble. So that's the idea
here that the prophesy centum said, one of the ways that you
could judge yourself is that if it settles in your heart,
okay, and it makes you at peace and you're not afraid for it to be
publicized. Then then then it's good and we're talking about the
heart. That is the prophet knew who he was talking about the heart
that is of a clean regular person, not someone who's warped his heart
by different sins.
Now that a bad is the rain so you have great character the sun is
out you don't
you don't have rain. You don't watering your your, your,
your soil, your plants should not going to benefit. We need a bed.
Okay.
We need a bed.
All right.
Let's now turn
to the speech of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
gets
go Hold on a second here
okay
the speech of the Messenger of Allah, Allah when he was
short chapter
K for Kana, Kalamata Sula, how did the messenger speak so Allahu
alayhi wa salam.
Her death in a homemade Gibney Masada al bacillary had death in
our homemade hymnal s words on Oussama in his aid, and is already
on Ottawa.
Who is Ottawa or Albany, who is Ottawa?
Ottawa is the nephew of St. Aisha Ottawa, son of Zubair
Zubair, son of a worm is the husband of ismat
and who is Asmat, the sister of Aisha,
okay. So that therefore Ottawa is the nephew of Arusha Seder, and
say the issue. Therefore, he used to be able to enter into Ponce de
Aisha with no hijab, no barrier, say that he used to teach the men
would sit in the mosque and she would put a barrier in front of
her door and she would teach them but Ottawa is able to go inside
the barrel because he can see his aunt without hijab, right? So
that's why he narrates so much from St. Lucia and the other
Sahaba they felt well he has an edge of not the sob story, the
other 10 vein.
Probably I guess, the Sahaba too, but they were older by that time,
they
those they felt jealous of him in a good way because he can walk
into the teacher and spend all the time he wants and eat with her and
do everything.
God let's say that he said Man, I cannot assume allah sallallahu
alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam yes true do Casera decom Heather why
well I can no Kenyatta column will be column in being in Faslane,
your father whom Angelica LA. Now, why does the speech of the
prophets of Allah
agua de he was salam have to be different from our speech? Because
the messenger is the first teacher. Okay, he is the first
teacher
and he is the only one who can make law.
And he's speaking to a simple people. And there is not like
today with the recording devices, what's the recording device of the
profit in the profits time, the best recording device people's
memory. Okay? Because if you have recording devices, you actually
don't try to remember anymore.
People sit in lessons. And as soon as they recruit hit the record
button, their attention level drops. I guarantee you why I got
the recording back your mind I got the record while you get home. And
guess what, you never listened to the recording.
So if you have no recording, I guarantee you this is you're going
to meet someone one time, you're going to sit down for half an
hour, no recording device, you can't go back and ask questions, I
guarantee you your your attention span will be so high. Repeat this
over and over your memory will be extremely strong as well.
Memories of muscle like anything else just can grow and grow and
grow.
But say that he said his speech some Allah what He was saying was
not like us. It was not constant speech like this. Saturday is just
constantly going, alright. Flowing, constantly flowing. The
Prophet didn't speak like that.
This prophet speech was always short, precise and memorable.
Because he wanted you to remember it. And it's amazing to me.
That all of marketing, when you look at what works in marketing is
just like this. Right? Something short, the words are easy to
remember. It's got a ring to it.
Okay.
And you repeat it over and over and over.
And the prophets of Allah when he was telling us to repeat something
three times.
I mean, think of all the Hadith of the prophets like Selim, it has a
punchiness to it
and ease to it in normal, Amma Lubin, yet
people don't talk like that. So the messenger speech is unique, so
much so that some Hadith scholars are they have read the prophet
speeches so much, okay.
So much.
They have heard his speech, that when they hear a false Hadith,
they know it's false.
When they hear a false Hadith, there's no way the Prophet said
this. Right? Smart Allah. So
the the Prophet speech is distinct, just as the Quran is
distinct.
I can recite to you anything to somebody who is let's say Persian
or does not speak any Arabic, but as a Muslim, and I can recite to
him a verse and he will know this knock Quran a verse meaning just
like a line of anything, he'll, I guarantee you nine out of 10 times
he'll tell you that's Quran that's not Quran. Because you know what
it sounds like. So likewise the Prophet speech, you know what it
sounds like? So by making the Quran unique, and making these
Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam unique, we now
know and we have an idea and a concept of what his speech is like
and what the Quran is like.
Okay, so the Prophet speech was always short, clear. Word for
word, memorable, because he is the first teacher
and his word must be memorized his word is law for us. It must be
memorized.
Next Hadith says
Death in Abu cote, Teva cell move No.
kotoba and Abdi, Lebanon with Anna and Thelma and Ennis Edna Malik.
Of course, we know under subpoena Malik served the prophet from age
10 to 20. And then lived 100 years after the passing of say Devonian
some Allahu Allah, he was Saddam, the Messenger of Allah Khanna You
are evil Kelly meth LF and Li to Alcala Anhu.
He would repeat the word three times. He would repeat what he's
saying three times, so that people can understand this word that he
utters is religion. It's law. It's not like anyone else's word. Okay.
That's why,
and from
epi Hala, who is Hynd Edna Ebihara.
Hindi Behala is the son of a Seder, Khadija
Seder Khadija had two husbands before the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Abu hurler was one of those men Hynde
Hey, Internet EBI Hello, is Khadija son. So what does that
make him? The Prophet step son. So what does that make?
No, it's a mill.
And what does that make?
What does that make him?
Son of the Prophet and what does that make him to Fatima Zahra?
half brother. Same mom.
So what does that make him to Hassan and Hussein
uncle, maternal uncle of Hassan and Hussein
had been the EBI hella, and it hasn't.
And his Konya was Abu Abdullah.
And his name was hint.
And it hasn't says I asked my uncle Hynde, if NaVi Allah.
Okay, and he was a was SFX what is our SFX was SFX is like a version
of a news reporter. In the old days, I was soft is someone who's
really good at describing people. So they have a vocabulary, right
for describing noses. eyes, eyebrows, like there's eyebrows
are different. Some eyebrows are straight, with a slight curve.
Other eyebrows are like mountain peaks. Sometimes the mountain
peaks at the middle, which is pretty odd. But most times it's
like three quarters away on the side. So it's goes up and then
down. Sometimes it's the eyebrows a nice curve. Okay, sometimes you
have the ad. Okay, the unibrow Anthony Davis.
Sometimes you have
noses that are straight, sometimes there's a bump at the top,
sometimes it's rounded or pointed. The nostrils can be skinny or
wide. Right the front part we said is skinnier point. So there is
there was there was suffering. The hair can be described as curly, or
straight or in the middle. Okay. The forehead can be described as
small, large, slanted or curved like every baby why babies cute
because they have a curved big curved forehead, right? Because
the brain the skull, if I'm understanding correctly, is it is
the way it is. I don't think there's a skull grow. Yeah, yeah,
it does grow, right, but the skull in proportion to a baby is bigger
than the skull in proportion to an adult. Right? So it's going to
expand a little less. Or so the body, the eyeballs are the same
size for all like once your eyeballs never grow. That's why
babies have big eyes. When they are an adult. Everything else grew
but the eyes didn't. So it looks like a small eyes.
So they have all these descriptions now Joe's have
description to some people's jobs are like this way. Some people are
down some people's are weak, some people's are strong, right? So
they have he was a was SFX.
And when he gave us his his nephew, Al Hasan, of course signal
hasn't acknowledged. He said, describe the messenger SallAllahu
when he was
and he specified Mundaka the speech of the messenger will you
notice Montek is speech. And it's logic. It's the word for logic.
Why? Because speech make is not it's not speech if it makes no
sense. So if I say even even in the Arabic grammar, right, and
Callum who are locked on Monica defeatable, what feed that means?
I'm not waiting for more. So if I say read table,
you're like, what else? Read table on top of? Aren't you waiting for
more? So it's not move feed? Right? So Montek is speech. And
some people are just so upset. Let me just tell you, if you want to
be a logical person, real easy, I'm gonna give you two rules,
right? Two rules. Any statement that somebody gives you, if you
applies to simple rules, and this has to do with these are the rules
of interpretation for everything. For Quran for Hadith for FIP, the
basic rule of interpretation, what does every word mean? This is like
identity. What is identity of this word?
Put the cup on the table.
Get me a cup. If someone says Get me a cup, anything that you get,
that's called the cup should work right. So, if I say get me a
glass, now this doesn't work as a class right. So every word has to
have an identity
and a set meaning
right. Then within any proposition, any statement any
string of words. You have to see
If
this sentence contradicts itself,
it cannot contradict itself. Right? It cannot possibly
contradict itself. Right? And if it does, then the speaker is
mistaken. It's illogical statement is invalid. Okay? It's invalid.
Give me a square with with five sides.
Right? You'll get me a cube
or a square, draw me a square a square with five. So I can't do
that. Right? So I know what draw means. I know what a square is. A
can't come and tell you Oh, my type of square has five sides. Who
said no, you don't get to redefine the word the word squares.
So this is the idea here. Very simple use of logic is two laws of
logic. Okay.
And there's a third law, which you can add to that. That means
if I want a, then I don't want negative. Okay.
So if I say there's a fork in the road, go right. What does that
mean? It also means don't go left, right? It necessitates don't go
left. So use logic and words. Sometimes when I tell people to do
something, or my kids to do something, and I didn't understand
I said, Well, what words did I utter. Just think about the words
that I uttered and fulfill it.
If I didn't specify something, anything of that category works,
go get me a cup, if I don't specify what cup, if he brings me
a paper cup is valid, if it means a glass cup is valid, if he brings
me a mug, this big, it's for anything called cup, right is
valid. So that's the idea here of of using basic logic, and then
being very good at using that and not being fooled.
And that's where, honestly, people who don't, you might be surprised.
This very basic three principles of Munduk. Many people don't use
them, and they're very educated and other things. And that's where
misunderstanding, that's where misunderstandings happen, Stephen
Hawking. He says the universe can and will create itself from
nothing due to the existence of the law of gravity.
There's like multiple illogicality isn't that because the word create
implies non existence, right? To be created implies non existence,
but to be the creator implies existence, how could you exist and
not exist at the same time?
How could you say nothing can create itself from nothing? When
they would then say due to the existence of the law of gravity?
Right, because it is actual same is because there is a law of
gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. How
can you create itself that means it exists and not exist at the
same time, but from nothing. But you just said because there's a
law of gravity? And what is a law of gravity? Here's here's the next
level of logic.
At Taylorism, as you asked me about that the other day, and you
brought up that subject, it's such an importance. Tell us what is the
lesson mean? If you use a word, that word, you have to ask what
are the prerequisites to that word? Because we have to admit
that existence too. So if he says law of gravity, well, what's the
law, the law is a repeated observation about two material
objects. Like every single time, I drop an object, it goes down every
single time, like we could sit here doing this forever, unless
someone brings a gin with him, that thing is not coming down,
it's going up, it's always coming down. What you drop will always go
down. Unless there's an exception. In every normal circumstance, and
he drops, that's a law between two or more material objects. So when
you say the word law of gravity, how could there be a law without
material things? You cannot have a law of gravity without objects.
And you're telling us there's nothing. So this at least two
objects, and the moment a material thing comes into existence? What
else comes into this this time, time does not exist without
matter?
So a logician from Oxford, who happens to be a Christian, who
doesn't believe in his thesis and believes in God, he literally
refuted and tore him apart literally, in 10 pages. And if you
can summarize those 10 pages in what Roger said, because there is
a law of gravity, the universe can and will create itself. There are
three clear and I once and I sent this to my one of my kids to test
them.
See if I'm transmitting this,
I started them well enough. They diced it up. You know, like
there's a karate and he has a little kid and the kid does karate
to like wow, he passed it on Well, right. They dice it up. Okay. How?
He just didn't observe the basics of logic.
Right now you can in the world, many people don't understand this,
you can be so amazing in one topic and so abysmal in another topic,
go and get the best chess player in the world and ask him throw a
basketball, throw football, he can't do it, right? Chances are,
go and get the best runner in the world, throw them in a pool, maybe
it's not going to swimming. Right? So
just because someone's great at one thing does not mean that they
can't be absolutely utterly abysmal at something else. Okay.
So
that's a little aside on the importance and the util
utilization of Munduk. And how it's connected to the word speech.
When we hear speech, we like it to make sense.
Otherwise, you get upset.
You're this is another 50 Think speech that makes no sense. You
get upset, right? And professors, you know, what professors, their
Kibet is based on any academic, they and even scholars of Islam,
they can have given me I'm gonna have dead goes off on them. What's
a comedian? He says mozzarella, see me in a bit. And they're fake
scholars, he said, they did have one trick. They invent masala hot
and use them in front of people who don't know them. That's all it
is. They invent terminology, technical terminology, they learn
technical terminology, then use it in front of people don't know this
terms. Is that anything else? What academics do? That's exactly what
an academic will do. Right. And if you don't understand these terms,
he thinks you're dumb. He's just a word you made up, right? Us three
here, we can come up. And this is what cults do all the time, come
up with our own inside jokes, come up with our own terminology, come
up with their own this, that and the other, and then use them in
front of a stranger will make that stranger, you know, feel like a
loser. That's what that's all they do. Right? That is all they do.
And they roll their eyes and
and then they come up with forms of speech.
You can't even talk in front of them anymore. Because when you
know, when we talk, when I talk, I like to talk in a sense that
people can understand.
When they talk, they like to have sentences with multiple conditions
inside the sentence, right? And they like to name things. Like if
if an Yeah, if an author, let's say, Tolstoy are talking, let's
say, I like the guy talking, let's say you talking
if he referred to something in a certain way, and then that person
wants to use the same reference, like let's say, talking talks
about he made a universe, right? So let's say, or a world, a fake
world, they'll say in a Tolkien world, right? So you have to know
what Tolkien meant and how he created a world that was unique to
understand what that phrase was, and they will use so many that you
will have to at some point, ask him what it is. But you can ask,
if you ask you look like an idiot, right? They want you to not
understand. And I said to this look, Allah loves these people. So
he made them speak in a way that nobody understands. That's my
philosophy on these people. Right? Of course, when I generalize, I'm
just generalizing. I'm sure that there are some wonderful academics
out there who are really nice people, right? Maybe like one in
every 10,000.
So the speech of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
never like this. It was never in a way that people cannot understand.
Unless there was one word that he wanted you to ask about. And to
ensure and to
ensure that he always defined it later. Okay. For example, why
would the Muslims be defeated and utterly destroyed
by other nations and cut up in accuracy man in the end of time,
the province I said at one weakness, the so general right
because of what we can to somebody's weakness of numbers,
weakness of swords.
So he said that wanting the Sahaba to ask that question, and they
said, Well, why No, you're you're a suit Allah. What is the
weakness? Like what is the source of this weakness? He says, hope
would dunya or Cara here to the most love of dunya and hatred of
death.
Now the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was moto el cielo ZAN.
He was always in a state of contemplation. You found him he
was contemplating something and Zania does not mean sadnesses. It
means deep contemplation because he looks like you're set. Right?
He looks you're pensive. The right word is pensive, the pensive
person he said what's wrong? Right. It looks like he said, but
he's not. He's just thinking they're in Maleficarum always
being thoughtful. He's always in a thoughtful state. Good.
Lays that low Raha
and he describes lace at level Raha here that he never is free
from thought
like we do sometimes at the end of every day in the prophets, I
seldom did have a sense of when he says lacet la Raha, it means he
doesn't have long periods where he's not pensive and thoughtful.
So at the end of every day, we do have a concept of Musa Mara Musa
was to sit with your family and unwind yourself here, can you
click on buttons to see if to get this thing back because like,
we're like, dying here.
The point of all this investment,
you get this age of that guy over here, and I can fix this.
So
we come at the end of the night, and I don't know about you, but I
think everybody who life, you know, gets a little bit longer
gets some big, you're you're getting older, okay, you live a
bit longer, you start piling on responsibilities, right? To the
idea that your responsibilities will weigh you down. At the end of
the day, all you want to do is basically deflate your brain.
And you all will reach that doesn't mean you're upset. Just
like I got a lot of responsibilities. I'm always like,
there's never arrest. I don't know when the last time I woke up.
And I'm sure many of you agree with this was last time I woke up,
and literally just had nothing to do no for me. And the moment you
wake up, it's go time. And there's one thing after another after
another after another after another after another, let's say
at the end of the day.
And when everyone's you know, finally up and
away in bed, then you can deflate your brain. I think all adults do
this. I never understood my parents when they used to say, all
I want to do is sit down have a cup of tea. I was like How fun is
that? That's lame, right? But you reach that you reach that point
you ask any adult right now? What is the value? I'm going to give
you a quiet room,
a bowl of cereal and a remote control. Right? Ask him if his
face will light up, right? Because that's just you want to deflate
your brain at the end of the day.
But we lose a sec t that means the prophets I seldom used to spend
long periods of time silent.
He used to spend long periods of time in silence. He used to enjoy
the silence and enjoy taking a rest from speech.
Lie it's a color movie right? He had. He doesn't speak for no
reason. Right?
He doesn't talk for no reason. And because every word that he uttered
is law.
So he does not speak when there's no reason.
Yes, that's the whole column where Actimel who is Malaita every
speech that he would give every time he would say something he
would remember Allah first. And remember Allah at the end
where it's a Kalam will be Java al Kalam, this is the biggest gift
the Prophet was given. It's called Joanne al Kalam,
Jonah and Kalam is that the Prophet was given the ability
to gather men many, many meanings in very few words. And how does
that happen? That happens by the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, sometimes removing a word. For example, when the Prophet says
actions are by intentions, isn't there something missing? Your
actions are what by intentions?
What are actions by intentions?
Actions are legally valid by intentions, actions or rewardable.
But intentions like what are the actions actually literally take
place because of intentions? Such that if an insane person was to
commit murder, he's not a murderer. That is not murder. He's
Majnoon. He's innocent.
Yes, maybe we've locked him up for the safety of he but he's
innocent.
Because he didn't intend it. If I fall asleep, and I knock, you
know, something over, that hurts somebody. There's no intention
there.
So, actions literally happen by intention are legally valid by
intentions are rewardable by intentions to the degree of your
intention. Just like the analogy we give to the degree that your
sky is clear, your soil is pure, and you and your water in your
water your plants, you will get a result. Like speaking in the
worldly terms.
It is impossible not to get a result.
Of course, yes, we know that Allah can cause that not to happen. But
in the worldly. I had the, the the customs that were accustomed to.
Okay, it's impossible not to get a result.
If you're seated sounds, your soil is sound, the sun is coming down
and you water that plant. That plant will grow. Okay as the ad
and it will come into fruition and it will bring you a
Okay ma'am is going to watch Wimbledon, I guess?
What did she say is that what is that emoji?
Who was in I don't even know who's the star tennis players these
days.
Wimbledon Wimbledon is one of the big tennis tournaments. Tennis is
actually you know what?
Just as a side note, if you ever like you need to clean the house
or something, and you just want some noise put on a tennis match,
like old YouTube tennis about the volleys of the ball. Alright,
we'll actually put you in a meditative state. This little
thing about tennis there. That's my thing about tennis.
So this the idea here about
the Joanne l Kelim. And how enamel Armelle orbignya. It has so many
meanings, because the profit removes something. So the human
hand is an example of this in the in the sense that if you had a
long thumb, you wouldn't be able to do a lot of things.
Right? By making the thumb short and off, you're able to do
everything. Right, it's opposed to all the other fingers. It's not
even fully opposed. If you notice it's diagonal
to go. So that's the
idea that the prophesy said that he was able to cause many meanings
to have
me in a few words by removing a word from and there are other
techniques that the scholars talked about.
Can I move fast? His speeches cut up which means that there wasn't
long speeches. Do you know that if I if I go and
if I go and I give the prophets cookbook
at Jamar one day
people be like confused is so short to profits Jim octopus it's
extremely short.
Can I move fast his speeches short why so people can memorize it?
Nerf will do alone will succeed. There's nothing extra.
And there's nothing left out.
Lazar, Bill Jaffe, wll Maheen.
Let's see. I'll translate. Jaffe, when when
they submitted Jaffe? Well, no he
Oh, now he's talking about himself, not the speech. The
Prophet himself is not dry towards people, nor does he put people
down. What is the Jeffie he's dried towards you. Like this is
part of our theta. In a sense, it's it's Shema in the province I
sent him but it's a belief right? It is impossible. Thank you. All
right, that
any Muslim Sahabi go to visit the Messenger of Allah salAllahu Salam
then feel dryness from him. Like you can go sit with someone that
you've loved. And that person just sits there and gives you no love.
That's why we're saying any true belief energizes you, big time,
gives you a lot of energy. Because there's so much love there that
it's Imagine yourself. There's it's impossible for you to go to
the prophesy send them and he doesn't sort of respond back to
you with more love than you're giving. That is an impossibility
unless that person has done something terrible. But if they've
done something terrible, and they come with a broken heart, it's as
if they didn't do anything but in fact, that's beloved to the
Prophet to so much that he said utter Ableman of them became a
love and the passion from the sin is as if someone who has no sense.
So that's why I'm saying when you learn the deen you should
definitely feel this hymn and this no shots. When you learn something
about the nature of Allah and His messengers of Allah when you send
them or the description of Accra, or the power of dua, the
generosity of Allah the love of the messenger for his OMA and he
will never put you down. You should never imagine nobody it is
so abundant Bill Bill Rasul Allah was you could have sort of been
with people who have done bad opinions who have been means bad
opinion soup is bad and then is speculation.
You'd have a bad opinion of Allah benefiting the prophets
bad opinion of the Prophet to think that he'll ever put anyone
down. Profit never put people down. Get
you all limo and now we're in duckets
He makes the blessing. He aggrandized is the blessing even
if it's small. And that's what I love the saying,
of, it's a saying,
an old man, and a lady is about to take him to the nursing home.
Welcome to the nursing home, sir.
Are you ready to see your new room?
The man says, Yes. I love it. It's beautiful.
She says, Sir, I haven't shown you the room yet. He said, I know. But
I've already decided I'm going to love it. The attitude of the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was described by one of the
Sahaba as Kana you hit Wolfen. He loves optimism.
I don't see that somebody is down except they actually want to be
down. Now, set aside exceptions don't come like my kid, the kids
class that I teach. I teach some kids Sunday mornings, right? And
these kids have like this habit that I had to change. Every single
time I say something, they have to bring a far off exception. Good.
So for example, I would say
insula, it is haram to break your prayer for no reason.
What are they have to say? They must somebody must say, what if
there's a German Shepherd chasing after you?
They have to bring something finally had to sit down and say,
Listen, when you when I speak, I'm saying something general. Don't
bring me some far off exception. Right. Okay, if you started in
FFS, you have to finish it. What if you're dying?
Right, they have to bring an exception. So when we speak, there
are always one exception. For example, the prophet called Abdul
Hakim Abuja, he renamed the wise he renamed him the ignorant. Mo
doesn't mean always mean father of, okay, it's just a descriptor.
Okay? So the wise man, I will have him he called him
the ignorant. So don't say Oh, well, here he putting something
No, that's actually clarifying.
Anytime that the prophet comes up with a name for somebody, it's to
clarify, and to make people not like him, because he's a source of
harm to the community.
When we when you come up with a poison, do you go and give poison?
A wonderful, beautiful name? Like, flowers medicinal? You know, know?
How do you come up with a name? That's not good, right? That's
alarms you. So you put across if there's rat poison in, in
something you put across in a skull, you don't put a flower.
Right? So that's why naming something with a bad name
has a value. So keep people can stay away from it. Good.
So I like one of the reasons like the problems of today's even like
movies and stuff. Bad guys are also that's the problem with
movies, right? Like bein the whole movie. I'm rooting for being
right. In that entire movie. I was rooting for bed. Right.
Ra's al Ghul What a cool name. I'm rooting for this guy. Right?
Meanwhile, Batman's cave is dark. Right? He's always in a he's never
smiling. So from the evil of people is that they make the bad
guys look good. you root for the bad guys. You don't root for the
good guys anymore. Right?
So
ladies and gentlemen, you add them on now I'm gonna hit aggrandized
as a blessing nobody. When I say nobody who wants to be miserable
most of these people their misery because they want to be whether
they know it or not. They're choosing misery. So don't get me
some crazy off example, what if his mom just died? No, leave off
the exceptions. In general, some guy wakes up in a bad mood. And he
stays in a bad mood because he wants to stay in a bad mood. Or he
doesn't know that you can actually get yourself out of a bad mood.
And the way is that so someone says how are you doing? say great.
And then think of something to make the day Great. You'll start
feeling great. But some people love the sympathy. I hate people
who want sympathy. Like I despise. Despise somebody who's a sympathy
seeker. Okay. I will tolerate sympathy seeking from a child up
to a certain age towards his mom and dad. Right? Give them
sympathy. Because if he doesn't get sympathy there, Where's he
gonna get it? He's gonna go to somebody else right until you
teach him to stop this habit. Okay.
I despise when someone writes an open letter in the Washington Post
about a sob story.
Unless there's an oppressor you're going after, and you're saying he
oppressed me, but even still, the tone the tone of of Oh, I'm just
so miskeen I'm just I need everyone's to cry. I know
everyone's sympathy. Even if I'm if I'm outing in a
presser I can out and oppressor and publicly because I can't prove
anything against him. He covers his tracks. He's an oppressor of
many people. The only way is to get him in the court of public
opinion. There's precedents for that in the Sunnah, by the way.
I can do it without attracted simply. So I said, Listen, people,
I'm good. I don't need anyone's sympathy here. But this guy is an
oppressor. This guy does this, this and this. But the tone of so
much literature these days, is the tone of sympathy seeking and
whining.
And it just drives me nuts. Okay, I despise every ounce of that.
Pick yourself up. Let me sympathize with you. But you not
don't pull the sympathy out of me. I will sympathize with you. Right.
I will support you.
But don't come with some fake tears and some weakness. Nobody
respects weakness. Okay.
Remind me of one time there was
a guy walking, okay.
And he saw a bird. Little Bird this big, coming and chirping at
him. And he could tell
by the look of the bird, this is an aggressive chirp. This is not
the birds chirping the nice beautiful song.
Then he's like, what's up with this bird? And he looked and he
found a nest in a bush that was on the way she's protecting her her
flock of birds or her little birdnest It's like Subhanallah
even like a little bird that I could step on a little nest that I
can destroy. And this bird is putting up a fight.
We respect that as a human being good.
Lay of them men have shade. Here we go. He does not blame or say
bad things about anything.
Anything. Okay. Of the blessings that Allah subhanaw taala gave him
so Allahu alayhi wa salam
there's a wake up Oh, my back. Oh my this. Just stop whining. You
can find in YouTube, how to fix your back. Right? save up money,
go for acupuncture. Change your mattress. Right? You ever see
people
tell you what kills me. People will moan insula. You ever see
someone coming up from sulla? From St. Jude, you cannot be that out
of shape. And You're offending Allah. He's coming up. Ah, right.
He's coming up from St. Jude like that. Are you some kind of like 90
year old man that to justify your acting like this? Okay.
So this, these are habits of weakness. And I remember reading
from one of the Syrian scholars, and he's more of a preacher than a
scholar. His name is Raja but Nabulsi. He's a preacher. He is
not a fapy that gets fatawa and speaks about animal Kalam.
And he says, Okay, let's listen to the speech of people. So much of
it reflects bad opinion of Allah and weakness and giving up so much
of it. Okay, la Hola. Hola, Quinta. But what are we going to
do? All this type of weak talk, okay.
That people have, what are we going to do? What is the world's
got all this like talk of dismal? So it's your choice, yet the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never good, never once
acted like this. You never knew. And by the way, there is some
moaning that is permissible. If you're really sick, you're allowed
to moan and that moaning is the dua of the sick. You should
intended as a daughter of the sick. It's called an hour, right?
We're okay. So it's someone who is
doing that. And even if some of the tafsir they say Ibrahim in No,
Allah is always calling for Allah, you're allowed to show weakness
and seek the sympathy of Allah, that it's where it's appropriate,
because he's the one who can solve your problems. He's the one who
can make you feel good. I don't want to hear you from you because
I'm weak. I can't support you. I literally cannot. I'm not a good
caretaker. I can't support you. I can't lift up. I can't do that
emotional thing that you're looking for me. I can't feel that.
And now I don't think any human being can feel that and that love
that you have as a selfish love, right?
You're using people you're using using using, you're sucking them
dry. But the creator you shouldn't be able to do that. Okay, you
shouldn't be able. You should whine to your Creator, moan to
your Creator, complain to your Creator, some Allah do so.
Remember, this is what we were taught. Don't do it to the
creation. Nobody wants to hear your whining and nobody will
respect you. But with your Creator, it's a bad it's a good
thing to do with your
gut, like most people's attention nowadays, they're just like
looking for sympathy from people. Yeah, I don't mind outing an
oppressor and say, Listen, I was abused. This is I'm fine. I don't
need your
emotional support. I don't need your sympathy. I don't want your
sympathy. Okay? It offends me. For you to give me your sympathy.
Let people give you sympathy from themselves. But don't ask for it.
And don't insinuate it. Okay. With your tone of voice and the words
that you write and you can out in a presser
Yeah, I don't know what's up with the camera, but we'll fix it
next
guy here and no lamea can hear the mu the work and while I am the
who.
Now, when it comes to speech,
good the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam never used to blame or
say anything bad about food, nor praise.
He used to never say anything bad about food. And at the same time,
he would never praise the food. Okay.
He would never say he wouldn't talk
about about food. Okay. Now when I say again, here's an example. When
we say the prophet would not show weakness. We're saying in normal
circumstances. So don't bring me Oh, his child died and he wept. Of
course. That's not what don't bring an exception. When there's
general speech, okay? To not bring an exception we Yes, the prophets,
I send them weapons, and that weeping is totally acceptable. All
right, for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is showing us that
it's acceptable and normal. And if your kid dies and you don't cry,
you something wrong with you. Okay? But we're talking about the
normal day to day life of the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. And if you missed what I said earlier, what I said earlier
was when there's a general talk,
you don't bring
some far off exception.
We're in podcast mode, but that's fine. Listen, we'll call us.
Wala todibo Who dunya wala can
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was never upset about the
dunya he would never get angry.
Because of the dunya
never get angry because of some matter of this world and this life
for either two Oh, Dr. Huck lamea come live at W e che on hot day
and Tasha Rolla but if the truth was trampled, nobody could stand
in his way.
Nobody can stand in his way sallallahu alayhi wa salam, until
he gained victory for the Huck, which is for other people, or for
Islam, the truth,
any Huck, but not his own Huck.
He did not get angry for himself.
While I have double enough say he is does not ever get angry for his
own knifes.
While I untasted Allah nor does he give victory for his own knifes,
he doesn't seek victory for his knifes either Shara Shara be
Caffee equally, if he points he points with his whole hand. He
never points like this. The Prophet did not point like this to
a person, he would point like this, with his whole his whole
hand.
Were either to add Jabba, caliber and if he would be astonished by
something he turned his hand like this guy if he was astonished by
something IG.
Samira Noreen says a good thing she says dhikr has greater relief
than therapists sometimes a therapist is good if they're
walking you through a problem. Like what's making you angry. And
sometimes these therapists and counselors they really do get. I
mean, like a girl like a guy like art Kelly. He needed a therapist a
long time ago, right? And he was raped as a child
by his uncle.
And he had no dad.
He told his brother
or my uncle right
gives me his his brother said, No, that doesn't happen.
So he never told his mom
and he felt powerless. Well, if the powerless internalize their
powerlessness, they will tend to victimize somebody else to gain
that power back.
What is our Islamic perspective on this? Anytime that there is an
oppressor,
we never view that oppressor as being an autonomous being that
oppressor is a test being sent upon us by Allah subhanaw taala.
And our greatest strength will come out of fighting this test.
You want to be have a power and a strength that nobody else has?
Where is it going to come from your tribulation?
But you cannot overcome your tribulation, if you view your
oppressor as some autonomous being.
Okay? Some autonomous being that's doing it to you and taking your
power away from you know, this person is just a tool
that Allah has testing me by, it could be because of my sins, then
I have to repent. Maybe I don't have sins. He's strengthening me.
He's purifying me. I'm gonna get stronger through this trial.
That's the mentality we go by. And then I had a debate one time with
a therapist. She said, Yes, but some people can't handle it. I
said, Show me prove it. To me.
That is a choice. And it's a claim. How do you prove you can
handle it? Right? Yeah, okay, if I can't handle it, I will crazy. All
right, I'll be in denial for a period of time. But if you keep
feeding the idea, I can handle this. I can't handle this, it
might take me a while to get to handling it. But you must keep
watering the belief. This is a test from Allah subhanaw taala. I
can and will handle this and grow out of this. You will grow out of
it if you keep watering that idea.
But if you come with the start point that
I can't handle this, you've already lost, but you created that
starting point. There is no way to prove it. It's all choice. Right?
Yes, I might be now in a really now. Like, it's so bad. I'm off my
mind. My stability now for a moment.
Good. And it might take me a while. But eventually I will get
there. But I must keep watering that belief that this trial, this
person.
They're not an autonomous being. And they didn't take anything away
from me that was not willing to be taken away from me. And therefore
I don't become powerless. I don't lose anything. I'm being tested by
love, my strength will come from handling this test. The strength
of the OMA right now will be to handle its enemies.
And if we start believing, and we treat Israel and the Zinus and the
Chinese Communist Party and the BJP and India, and the French
government and all these and the and the and the American
industrial combat military industrial complex, and all that,
and we start treating it as if it's a real, it's an autonomous
things. No, we are in OMA that has so parted from ALLAH SubhanA which
I was way
that Allah sending all of these enemies upon us, to rectify us.
And for those who get rectified. It's a purification and an
elevation of the rank and who those who choose the way of sins,
it's more punishment for them. That's it. Nobody has stripped of
some of anything, oh, they destroyed the Ottoman Empire. They
came and they colonize us, they pit us against one another. They
didn't do anything. All of that is a reflection of the sins and the
torment that we attracted collectively as an OMA because of
our sins.
That's the analysis of things.
Next way that to have data it tells salave'a
If he speaks sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He used to touch if he would speak and be amazed he used to touch his
other hand with his thumb like this. He used to touch his hand
with this thumb when he spoke either to her death and also
Libya.
Well thought about Behati alumina Buttner in Hemi Olusola he would
be touching the inside of his palm with his thumb with a volleyball
Arado Asha. If he became upset with the person the prophet would
become upset with the person he
To turn away from this person, anyway, ignore that person
completely.
Ignore that person completely.
Or he would forgive that person.
When they're 30 Ha got dattara if he was very happy he would put his
eyes down in happiness.
julu dot Heiki at Teva assume all of his laughter was smiling. Good.
All of his laughter was smiling. He never laughed with noise.
If Teru and Mythili hug belaga, ma'am.
And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would smile, his
teeth would glitter and shine, like, hailstones, hail, is white
stones that come down is different than snow.
Sometimes they also call it but it's Hey, hailstones are bright
white, rocks of snow. Good. All right, let's now turn to we didn't
do open QA. Today we do an open QA, but we'll try to keep with the
topic. But if you want to do open QA, and the first question is the
behind B, when you go no contact on a family member? Does that mean
you have broken contact ties with that family? Simply not calling
them is not breaking ties, the breaking of ties is the intent to
never talk to this person again.
Now, Vela says could you could it also be that those who can't
handle it need good company and know they are valued as humans?
I'm reminded of a podcast about the importance of Jamal. Yes,
correct. And
the I really truly believe that people can change certain things
unless you giving me something like you can't. Things like
trauma, for example, someone's got a broken arm. You can't mentally
fix that. You need to fix it. But certain things are unseen to us.
That's where I don't expect I don't accept those conclusions.
What is up with our camera today? Unreal.
It's overheating. That's insane.
That is insane.
This book that I'm reading from is the Shema Ellington with the
anytime you go to Mecca books.com and type in coupon code Safina.
Coupon Code Safina then you'll get a discount from that.
Katelyn says What if you have host an abundance of Allah and made
constant dua for a long time know each other? But what do we do?
What is a long time?
What's a long time?
send a note to dow for 950 years.
What is a long time? 15 years, five years, two years.
There was a woman not going to say names of course obviously.
She would
literally whine and complain all the time to everybody. You said
hey, how's it going? She'll stop you for 30 minute complaint
session. I'm not even kidding you.
3020 30 minutes complaint session. And she had valid reasons to
complain.
I finally sense was you know, the more I listen, I'm actually doing
an impression to this woman. She would see me at the masjid. I
said, Look,
why don't you tell me what's good?
Why don't you sit and talk for 30 minutes about what's good. Talk
for 30 minutes out what power you have. You have you have powers you
have ability? Of course not. We're not talking theologically nobody
has power but Allah but but in the world of Aida, the customer world
that we live in, you have the ability to walk with your feet,
talk, say things read things, you have abilities, you have so many
abilities. Right?
And I just got upset.
And she was like, Well, no one has ever talked to this person like
that again, in that way.
But it took time. It took time. And now I would say this person is
normal, completely normal. Right? They've learned the habit, the
muscle
of answering the question, what's good, what power do I have? I
have, I can do a lot of things right.
Other day a guy Nate need was $10,000 short from buying
something.
So he said man who might attack him I got a $10,000 I said, You're
asking the wrong question. There's a lot of ways to get $10,000
you could sell something. Right?
You could do a lot of different things. There's a lot of ways to
make $10,000 If you can make $5 on something
If you can make $10,000, right? Repeat that thing. 200 times,
right? What's five times 200 1000? Repeat it 5000 times, right?
And you make $10,000. If you can make $10. Repeat that 100 times,
or 100 times. How many times? You can make $10. Repeat that 1000
times. So it's doable.
Is there a six hour rule for forgiveness? Where did that come
from? Yes, the prophesy. centum said the angel of the angel of
sins does not write your sin down
for a quarter of a day.
If you make Toba and a quarter of a day, and your sin is forgiven,
he doesn't write it down at all.
Is there a specific dua you feel make that has helped you
immensely? I would say that the DUA that helps immensely is suited
to law. students, alumni, students advise all optimism students out
of Nashua is optimism, optimism, either just enough sort of low fat
is optimism sulla on the prophet will literally remove your
depressions from you your anxieties and your fears. That's
the promise of the messenger slice. And then it's there are you
have to do certain things in the world. There's s beb.
And thoughts can be as bad. Like what's good, what can I physically
do? I can walk I can apply for a job. I can get an education.
mammas Oh, please answer Sofia's question.
Let's see what is Sofia's question, let's zoom up my pending
question. If that's okay, it's work related. So I'd really like
to hear how we should understand women empowerment for Muslim
women. empowerment comes
from
the ability to remove harms from yourself.
If we think about empowerment,
that's an there the ability to remove dependencies as well.
That's how I understand what the word empowerment means. Good.
And the question was
okay, yeah, that question. She was saying women's empowerment. That's
what I understand what empowerment is. So if there's a woman being
abused, let's say, in our home,
empowerment is the ability to get out of that abuse.
Right. So the ability to learn how do I get a hula
hula is a woman's initiated divorce, the ability to ensure
that I'm not going to lose my kids, because in even in the
shittier
a woman the mom will get the kids, the girls until the girl gets
married.
The will get the son until puberty, and son goes to the dad.
But if the woman remarries, then her kids go to her mom. Because
the shitty I would not want would prefer the girl to live with her
grandma and grandpa blood relatives. Rather than her mom,
and stepdad, the stepdad could still.
It's not the same, right? So the shitty I says that.
And by the way, these are rules that can be flexed.
Okay.
So that's how I view empowerment. It's the ability for me to remove
harms from me
and not depend on others.
So the idea here that when we look at,
for example, the internet has empowered many people. It's taught
you to seek knowledge, right? It allows you to seek knowledge. Why
don't we charge the other camera for a while, right? We charge that
one for like 1020 minutes. And then this one, this one keeps,
it's going to cut off again. So stick in the blue charger.
There should be a blue charger here somewhere.
Alright, so the Internet has empowered people to learn to get
access to lawyers to do other things. Okay.
So that's how I view empowerment now, impairment to do what is the
question? That's the question empowerment to do what?
And for us, that's going to be simply and solely what Allah
permitted us to do,
and what is in line with the mocassin of the city or not the
mocassin of liberalism. That's the big difference. So that's how I
view it. And empowerment. I mean, everyone wants that and that that
kind of empowerment, the ability for me not to be dependent upon
anybody
And the and there's some dependency that's on purpose.
There is some dependency.
That's really good actually.
Like,
husband and wife should have some dependencies, community members or
community members should have some dependencies. Right? So like, I
don't need to be independent of doctors, I can be that there are
good dependencies in society that are beneficial to society.
And then there's the bad dependency where I can't remove
harm from myself. I can't
improve myself because someone stopping though that's how I view
things these things and Allah knows best.
Sadie says, What should I do if I quote, have a close friend broke
ties with me and I don't know why.
The best thing is to not have suspicions and to just talk to the
person.
Talk to the person and then if the person says no nothing, then of
course, don't contact him. Respect yourself. Don't contact him until
he contacts you.
Ryan is out. And our first day is a disaster. Without Ryan,
unbelievable. Five times six times, we're in the dark,
random question from sleeps. When we make dua for a non Muslim to be
guided, do they make dua for us although we're, even though we're
not praying for a Muslim.
When we make dua for a non Muslim to be guided, the angels say and
you as well, because the paths of guidance never end.
As in Babu, he says in tafsir students and fatsia the paths of
guidance never come to an end. There's always constantly more and
more guidance available to us.
Is there anything wrong with assuming you're automatically
forgiven after repenting? You can't assume something like that.
You should have a hope that Allah forgives you.
But you can't be sure of that. We hope that Allah forgives us. But
the idea that
you're just going to assume that no, you can't just assume that
path to peace.com.co. We are in filming out of New Jersey. We're
streaming out of New Jersey and today we're half streaming
out of New Jersey.
Good Albanian River. Thank you very much. Yes, we are in Central

don't take knowledge from an SD Why do some people say that? I
don't know what they're gonna that means they're not taking knowledge
from him and know him the Hotjar all of the Maliki's all the chef
hates all the Hanafi is that 100 Thieves are mysteries. Right? So
sort of ridiculous.
Can a woman take money from her husband says Nimra if you stingy
she can use what is normal in any relationship from the wealth of
her husband?
She can use that? Yes. Right.
She can use that.
As long as it is in an unknown norm. Like if she goes and gets
the normal stuff that a person gets in her class and society. Is
it permissible to cut family's ties with family who practice
magic at that point, you're obligated watermelon to her name
is watermelon, or her screen name at least you're obligated to stay
away from that person. You're not going to intend cutting ties but
you're intending.
you're intending to avoid harm.
What do you do with a toxic family member? Stand up to them. They
false they give you false accusations mocking your religion.
They pull off your job fight back in a way that is equivalent to
what they do to you. Especially if they're physically touching you.
You're allowed to push that person back.
You're allowed to move their handbag
it's no doubt about that.
wears us taking class
is dancing aloud in group thicker rocking is allowed. But rocks
while remembering Allah. It's not the appropriate way
to respect the remembrance of Allah.
Mohammed says I'm working on a ministerial paper on the gender
pay gap.
For our department, I think that's empowerment to women.
Equal work for equal pay. That's fair enough. What's wrong with
that?
Right?
Do the same job get the same money.
What is the city I say about suicide is a major sin. Is it
forgivable? Yes. It's forgivable. However, the person who commits
suicide the Prophet said their punishment is that they will
continue to commit that suicide until the Day of Resurrection,
they will continue to do that action. What is the shortest
version of Salah on the Prophet says Farida Khan and the answer to
that is Aloma suddenly was salam ala Allahumma salli wa salam ala.
I've been trying over and over and over and making dua over and over
at what point do I leave the matter in Allah's hands? Whenever
you're making dua if you're leaving it in Allah's hands.
But the issue is that you don't stop making dua because the moment
you stop, that's the reason why you will not get your answer. The
prophets I send them send us to a job when he had the Comella
myalgia you will get an answer on law until you rush. They said what
is rushing? They said that you said I made dua, but I never got
an answer. So you quit, you will get the answer as long as you
quit.
Numerous says getting a job in a place like Netflix or Spotify that
promotes * and music.
If if the company's the essence of the company is sinful the product
then we can't work for them.
But if the essence of the company's offerings is
permissible, but some of the things are haram, then the job is
permissible. But doing that thing is haram.
Muslimah says How does one's lineage benefit them? Oh, it
definitely benefits you how lineage can benefit you if your
dad is guided, and he'll creates a home and an environment of Islam
and Dean and tuck club in the law. Then you benefit.
If you had forefathers who are righteous and they made dua for
their offspring, you benefit. If you have parents who are
financially responsible, you don't fall into debt or become poor you
benefit. That's how good lineage benefits a person.
Serious questions I'm not here 911 says
I'm a UK Muslim. My parents are from India, and I have cousins in
India. How can Indian Muslims defend the prophets honor without
getting lynched or risking martyrdom? I don't know the
situation in India to be honest with you. I can't answer that.
I can't answer that.
By the way, I forgot to tell the some of the newcomers that while
I'm giving the talk,
don't post questions after we announce q&a. Then post the
questions so that I don't have to scroll up so that I can see them
live.
Before we continue support this live [email protected] backslash

nothing but facts live stream
let's because hands Allah was a newcomer we will go scroll back
up. What's the difference between km and tahajjud? tahajjud is after
you sleep a little bit then you wake up totally refreshed. That's
the That's to hedge it. Pm is before you sleep.
If I choose to pray sunnah after Aisha yet wake up for to hedge it.
Do my first set of Rocco's have less reward. Is there a quota that

you pray
you pray any rock as you want after that, you wake up for
tahajud you pray whatever it is you want, and you pray with her.
If you can't do with it,
if you don't know if you're gonna wake up for today, did you do
watch it before you sleep? If you thought you're going to wake up
for 200 You didn't pray with her and third reason you pray with her
before praying the Susan has a fetch.
Okay, so you can pray with it even inside of the federal time.
Is it possible to do a lot of good deeds but also commit major sins
for your whole life and will
eventually one of them give out and you either become more pious
and more sinful. Yes, and most people are like that we mix good
deeds and bad deeds.
In dua if you don't know which divine name is best for you to
recite, then you should recite all of the 99 names
is learning FIP for entertainment, a type of vicar, sitting and
learning FIP is a form of remembrance of Allah, but it's not
the same as learning FIP for the necessity of acting upon it, or
learning or actually doing remembrance of Allah subhanho wa
taala. How do you feel?
How do you deal with feelings of low confidence and self esteem?
Self esteem? And confidence is not about you. It's about what you can
do.
So if you feel that you don't have confidence, confidence is what in
what if you brought me a mic and said, give a talk on the dean, I
can do it. If you bring me a chess board and say play this kid. I
don't play chess, right? I wouldn't know be confident. If you
gave me a fishing pole and said Get your dinner, I wouldn't be
able to know what to do. I have no confidence in that. So confidence
is not in yourself. Confidence is about what you can do. Okay? So if
you've ever learned anything in the past, you're confident that
you could learn something in the future. So if you want to be
confident and have self esteem, get good at something, do
something over and over and over until you're like an expert at
that thing. Okay? How many times you have I'll want to some geek,
all right. And the geek starts going to the gym,
gets good at going to the gym, he lifts swell.
And then he starts seeing results then he's full of confidence. Why?
Because he got good at something. He got good at going to the gym.
So if you want to get confident, get good at something, study
something, learn something something you have a passion for.
Okay.
And then you will be confident.
The Maldivians, the Maldives brother from the Maldives says can
you make a video on Robbie graduate? We already did that.
Actually it nothing but facts has an episode on one question, is it
better to stay upon the fifth that you were born into? It's the fifth
that you if you study that also, it's also that you really believe
in
it, she had the have he heard of that scholar that you really
believe in, and there should be
a scholar of that area accessible to you. There's no point in
picking a method you can't study.
And lastly, we have to go unfortunately,
women in high positions lack confidence because people think
men should have those roles.
If a woman in a high place is not respected by her employees,
she should fire them
until they learn. And why do I say this? Because I have women in my
family that are in positions.
Right? And sometimes their employees have classes with them.
Right? And
the key is, what you want should be clear, it should be reasonable.
And if someone doesn't do it, it should be told once and twice and
the third time
you sever them.
Right? So next person comes around,
they're gonna hear the story about my predecessor, how do I get the
job, I got the job because the seat was open the person before me
is out of the job. Right. So I think that's a very practical way
of doing things. People will learn that there are consequences for
disobeying you. You don't have to become mean, wicked, whatever.
There's a consequence for disobeying you. Right? But the
commands that you give as a boss should be within reason. And you
could judge that by asking other people. Hey, is this reasonable?
Hey, is this clear? And then what are the what is the process of
disobedience? You disobeyed once? We have a meeting, a friendly
meeting. You disobeyed me a second time? A third time? I'm sorry, I
couldn't get work with you anymore. Okay, HR, cut the
person's payments off.
can hit cancel on their security badge. I've never told anyone to
fire anybody because not my job to do that. And I never will. But my
general advice would be when you're, you're an employer. You
are hired. I give you money. You you move things for me. You say
things for me. You write things for me? You do jobs for me? Good.
It's got to
be that simple, so that there's a process of you know what to do.
I've been very clear about it. If you don't do it, I take you to
account once, twice and the third time, we don't have a working
relationship anymore. All right with that, I gotta run and also we
got our camera needs really to
okay to take a breather tonight. So does that come along? Okay,
