Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah who are the heroes, ve woman, whether welcome everybody
to the nothing but facts live stream. And in this live stream,
we're going to cover something. So I'm going to tell you a story
today that is so amazing. I remember reading this a long time
ago and not knowing if the source was real or not not knowing if the
story was actually true or not. And then I came upon it just today
in Ibanez, Josie is book one of the greatest scholars of the henna
villa of Iraq. He lived in the generation I think before or
during Abdulkadir Jayla, and his time.
His book is called Bata Jumuah. And are a good friend of mine gave
this to me at Amara. And when I was last at Omaha, he gave this to
me. And this book has an amazing story in it. It's all about
stories that really pierce your heart.
And make a person make Toba and get ourselves straight and get
ourselves together. And that's what I mean, what else are we
doing in life in existence, except pulling ourselves together? Get
straight and pulling things together with Allah subhanaw
taala? If you don't have that, well, then what do we have? If we
don't do that? If we don't have that, then what do we have?
Exactly? So this story goes like this.
There was a great scholar in Baghdad, and this item.
He had schools, he would open up schools everywhere. That's how
popular he was, he would preach, he would travel with with the
people, he would go on trips. And he had no he was a
scholar. And he had
a following. He had a big following.
And then he took his students as most of you could do to touch one
year, foot and bicameral and buy a horse and donkey etc. And so he's
going there to hedge and they get hot, they get tired. So they stop.
And they basically take a pit stop, and they take a pit stop.
The only place next to them is this little dinky village of
Christians. So he's there at this little dinky village of
Christians. And he's despising every minute of it. And they stay
a day and the Christians welcome them. And like there were no
hotels back in the old days. So you just had to be with people who
are in the rows were generous enough to give you a lodging give
you food. And when you're on your way back or
on your way there, you give them some money. That's like a
bartering system while he's there,
and you're not going to leave the store. He's there Schick right. He
sees a girl, the hostess, and he falls in love with her. Just like
it. This is exactly the same story, but it has a different
ending. So pay attention.
The ending of it, you're going to understand every
thing that happens and why it happened. And he said
that the love of this girl just pierced his heart. He just
completely fell in love with this woman. And she was a young lady.
And she was the hostess. So he looked and these people were
really poor. And they were Christians were really poor
people. And the Christian guy, the leader of the village was also the
like their priest. And they were like extremists, they're like
zealot for Christianity. So he says, let me marry her is how that
for machete I let me marry this woman. And he said, No. He said,
As for you, yourself, you can marry her. But as for our law, you
have to become a Christian. So I said, that's out of the question.
But he could not get this woman out of his mind so much was he in
love that he actually felt sick? And he told his companion so all
the students just go, go ahead, go without me. They're like, No, no,
we can't go without you. He said go without me. second day, third
day, finally says, I'm a yelled at them. He's called, they're like,
shocked. Why is this shift yelling? What's wrong with him?
He's like, I'm not feeling well. I want to be alone go without.
When all the students left. He sat with the men. Tell me exactly what
you want me to do. So I could marry this woman.
He said, I'm going to explain to you exactly what's going on here.
At the end of the story.
He said you have to become a Christian. Okay? And then she has
to accept you.
And you need to pay us a dowry.
He's said I'll do all that.
The shift said, Put this hat on. He put on the Christian hat.
He said what's the dowry?
He says the dowry is we need more proof that you're actually a
Christian. You need to be to herd the pigs for a year and eat with
us.
And he did it. He started doing it with the same staff that he was to
give us Clif Bar we have to ask Allah here and you always have to
be afraid for your Deen in this day and age. You got to hold on to
your Islam you got to be aware of it you got to be conscious of it
you just can't regular just be a Muslim as if being Italian being
Egyptian being Pakistani. No you got to hold on to your Islam let
yesterday we read about Bill had been bound up. He knew at least
one of them he had a MACOM with Allah subhanaw taala this man was
a scholar of Quran and Hadith half his Quran half his Hadith half his
FIP he's to teach the mother he had schools and followers. He
traded it in for his desires you might ask yourself I mean, this is
so crazy. How does this happen? You're gonna see because we will
get an explanation of how this exactly happened and why.
So he goes and he never goes to hedge he spends a year okay,
fulfilling his duty right the dowry
and his his companions come back though they're like let's go see
if the ship is at the village. They go to the village
and essentially they basically almost have a heart attack from
what they see.
I mean, you can imagine when when a sheikh who's reliable and he
starts giving fatawa that you don't like
fatawa forget
you know leaving Islam no fatawa that he doesn't like that you know
that you if your shit goes against the matura admithub We have an
each school of thoughts on the god the machine the matured? Is that
what you act upon? That which is the federal is given? Right?
There's no doubt about it. Okay, so many scholars have approved
this.
If he goes against that your heart shakes.
If you see like for example, the man and his family they're not
practicing the deen like outwardly like, in a blatant way. Your heart
shakes you wonder what's going on. Imagine now and we're talking way
back then when this idea of leaving his lab communist lab
practicing, was them not practicing. Get all that was
unheard of.
So they literally one of them fainted when he saw it.
And the other of them literally started to get pains in his head
and he became sick.
They literally like were cracked, their minds cracked, their hearts
cracked. And what and they said we ran to back dead, making Toba and
asking Allah never to test us with what he's tested to share with. We
recited the Quran to him, we recited the Hadith. He said, I
know better than all of you. Isn't that what all this you will say
when they go astray? Right? I know that evidence is better than all
of you. That's what he said, I know everything better than all of
you leave.
Okay.
And therefore he went, and he continued, and then he married the
woman. He married her he was wearing the cap and he was hurting
the pigs. And he even became a lecturer
in their religion in their little dinky churches because they were
poor, very poor.
But he was so in love with this woman.
They married for a while.
And then the students came back a second time pleading with him and
reciting the verses. He yelled at them and expelled them on their
way out. Now this is a little over a year now. On their way out.
They saw him running chasing after him. Having thrown off the
Christian hat and yelling a shadow Leila was shadowing them hombres
sobre la then they all started weeping and they just couldn't
believe what happened. He read he went straight to his old house
took a hustle from top to bottom and ran to the masjid and would
not leave the Mahara of the masjid weeping out of Toba
weeping out of tob.
They then said to him share, Leah was so thankful that Allah has
brought you back and he started and he reviewed his Quran from
cover to cover again reciting as pretend as if he was a student.
He's sitting down his students and reciting the Quran reciting the
Hadith reciting the fic all over again.
They asked him shit, what happened? What is this? He said
this what you saw. What you all saw was the result of a sin that I
committed for one. Yanni. blink of an eye. I committed this in for a
blink of an eye
to see what could it possibly be, that you did as a chef for a blink
of an eye? And that Allah Tada?
He has tested you and purified you and punished you. Okay? For a year
and a half by being outside of Islam completely. He said, listen,
when we were teaching and preaching and doing a lot of a bad
and the followership was spreading, so there were schools
opening up everywhere and wherever I would walk, people would
recognize me. I was walking to a group of people. And a Christian
beggar was dirty, he was unclean, his hands were empty, he's
homeless, he's dirty. He latched on to my job.
And you know, the shoe. They always present themselves, there
are ascetics, and there are shoe the shoe, who deal with people
that have to present themselves well. So he presents himself well,
he doesn't want to get dirty. So he said, Get off me.
And he said, what I want, I want something from you. You're
offering your services to everybody I want, I need
something, I need some help. He said, Go get someone else to help
your own.
Good. And he said, Why are you saying that? He said, We know
because of what you're upon, right?
And then he said, Well, how do you know I'm not better than you said,
I'm better than you, the Christian man. Now now back back in those
days theology is in the air, right? Even the Christian knows
athlete, right? He says, We haven't died yet. How do you know
what my ending is? And what your ending is?
The shape then says and listen to these words carefully. He says, I
looked down upon him with such contempt and disgust, how he's
misguided. Okay, he's dirty. He's poor. He's arguing with me in the
streets. And all the other people were Muslim. And they're looking
at, at this situation, and of course, they're siding with the
Muslim. And everyone at that moment was sort of, in a sense,
bullying this, this Christian homeless person.
And the Sheikh was leading that sort of leading that. And he said,
I looked at this man with a such a disgust, and contempt.
And at that moment, I felt a fluttering inside of my heart.
And that my Eman left, I felt that a bird just popped out of my heart
and flew away, flooded away. This is the exact same thing that we
heard from the testimony of Ben.
Ben bowed up,
that when he had that deceit, disgust, he said very shortly
after that, we all went for the hatch. And the moment I laid eyes
upon this girl, I could not control myself. So what happened
when the man left his heart, his it was just a matter of time, he
had no guardrails up his ego or his neffs controlled him.
And he said, Because I looked down at that Christian men
in that way, and I said the words I'm greater than you.
Yes, we know Islam is greater than Christianity. And the Muslim is in
a higher rank at this moment than a Kaffir. But we don't know the
future.
Right? If you ever comes to your mind, who is greater the Muslim or
the Catholic? Of course, the Muslim is in the superior rank
than a Catholic, and we should say, May Allah keep us on Islam,
and May Allah guide them to Islam. So facts are one thing, the
attitude by which you interact with your fact is something else
completely.
And for that attitude
towards the man,
Allah punished him. He said, then it was shortly after we went to
Hajj, and that girls love that girl controlled my heart, and I
left Islam. And I started to know and think that maybe this is the
punishment for what I did to that Christian myth.
Until you all came the first time I sent you away, you came the
second time, I became convinced, and I asked Allah Oh Allah make
Toba upon me, so that I make make Toba to you. The reality of Toba
is that Allah to Allah is the one who initiates repentance to the
object by offering it to the appt your acceptance of that is that
you start making Toba you will a man sob either way. He said, Oh
Robbie, I have so many sins can I repent to Allah? She said you
won't repent until he repents on to you, then your repentance is
the acceptance of his repentance unto you. So if the idea comes
into your mind to make Toba
you should be weeping because that means Allah wants to make Toba to
you. Meaning Allah wa Toba means to return that Allah is pulling
into him.
So he repented and he started to do more a better and more seeking
more knowledge and teaching even more than ever before. So why
Today they were sitting him in history. He's very popular. He's
very handsome and very popular. Right? That's those are the types
of people get conceded, right? So he's sitting with his students and
they're eating dinner and a bang knocks on the door, a man opens
door, it's one of the servants. And he says, whoa, what does she
want? What does he want? He said, There's a girl here. She says, she
knows you. There's a poor Christian girl here. She says, she
knows you. And we're like, how would you know the shit? Like they
don't know the story, right?
And he's thinking to himself, who could it possibly be? He's just
opened the door letter it and lo and behold, it's the daughter.
It's that woman that he had married the daughter of that
leader of those Christians. She had come in, she comes in weeping.
And he says, what brings you here?
She said, when you left? I couldn't live without you.
And I didn't know what to do. Because I knew that Christianity
was the truth
until let me read this exactly word for word as even Josie
relates it
she says
lemme later and development in ini FNM to I slept for a too early
inevitable him. I saw in my dream. I live in Abu Talib. Now remember,
people know Islam in the same way I would we know as Muslims here in
America who? Peter Paul, Mark and Luke are right. So she knows who I
leave nobody thought of is I saw a two I live in Thailand.
And he says to me, calm down, be upset. Because the dean of
Mohammed is what is true. She was genuinely sincerely believing
Christianity is true, and that she lost her husband to Islam, and
that she's so upset now.
He says she calmed me down and said ladina Illa Gina Muhammadan
there is no real Dean except Mohammed. So calm down because
that is the truth, what he's on is the truth.
And he said it three times.
So makalah Lee Baddeck. Then he said after that, Mecca and Allah
Who Leah Italia Viki, William and O'Leary, it is not that Allah
subhanaw taala would test you, in other words cause you to be in
damnation through a Willie from his earlier. So in this one dream,
this shift, he had made Toba so sincerely that Allah to Allah
gifted him with his wife back and an announcement that he's from the
Olia.
It would not be that Allah will dam you, that you will be damned
through a Willie from the odia.
So he just fell in complete tears. He could not believe what he was
seeing. And she said a shadow La la la la Shannon, Amanda
Rasulullah
la de la la Muhammad Rasool Allah, and that she entered Islam. And
they married again as Muslims this time.
Lo and behold, time passes. Time passes, see Allah to Allah for
when people are sincere. It's almost as if you write your own
history, when people are sincere, all the parts and all the pieces,
they all come together again. So what happens lo and behold, he's
walking one day
with his wife, and who does he see?
Coming out of the message it fresh will do * on his face, the
original Christian man that he had argued with in the street, and
made fun of and looked down upon. And who said to him, how do you
know what our ending is going to be? Like? How do you know I'm
going to die? How do you know how you're gonna die?
And he saw that men.
And he started all his memories came back to his fitna. And he
said, What happened to you? And what is Allah done with you? He
said, After that incident, You humiliated me in the street, in
front of all the other Muslims. I said, Oh Allah, I am a Christian,
this is what I believe is true. Whatever is pleasing to You put me
on that path.
So he said, and I thank you. In other words, not directly but
indirectly I thank you, you broke my ego that day. Like You
humiliated me in front of everyone I was so broken, when a person's
broken and they turn to Allah the draw is Mr. Jab, and he said the
right words, he said, Oh, Allah, I'm a Christian because I think
this is what's true, whatever is true, put me on your path.
And he became a good Muslim and he became one of the worshipers that
is was known in Baghdad as putting effort in a bed. We talked
yesterday about
but I mean, this story
is very, very similar to that and there is no guarantee that anyone
will stay upon a slump.
We got to know we got the big we have the biggest namah
Don't ever let it slip away
and you don't let it slip away by being aware that it can slip away.
You have to be aware if it could happen to this person if it could
have happened as a companion of Sedna Musa
and it could happen to us a hobby well we he's not as a hobby he
posted it so he's not doesn't count as as a hobby. The Sahaba
and my friends you breed he sent me this message and he said that
well what about the Companions because we said yesterday when if
you become a Willie, you never lose your will. And we said that
you could. It's not a guaranteed position. Right? It could doesn't
mean it does. But the Sahaba were guaranteed Quran guarantees their
right to business or all the Allah why don't what other one, provided
they die as Muslims, which not all of them did. So they wouldn't
count a Sahaba at all. Okay, so they're an exception Allah
guaranteed has San Jose and Abu Bakr Omar Othman, Adi and the 10
Guaranteed paradise he guaranteed all of them Jana. Okay, so they're
guaranteed and to be as a hobby is greater than to be a Willie.
Get all this hobble odia of Allah. So that is a saga that is an
exception of Wilaya that is guaranteed stamped
by name said no author man Abu Bakr Omar Othman Southside pal
houseware Abra Malaga be obeyed. Hamza, Tala birth, Fatima Aisha,
all of them were guaranteed. Alright, Jana Bilal prophesy
centum said, I hear the voice of Bill, the footsteps of Bill Allen
paradise. So with that, we close with our
opening. And let's move on now to our q&a. All right, let's see what
kind of q&a we have today. And it would be good if you put your if
you put your questions in the
if you put your questions in the little question box, because just
easier to deal with that way.
Right.
Let's start when we got any, so that people think here's a big
hairy on Yeah.
Someone asked was he?
Yes, he was.
Yes, he was.
Trying to reload here the so I can get this on the iPad.
All right, other announcements.
Other announcements is that we got a seed class that's going on that
is a very good class that you don't want to miss out on. It's on
our view, plus, which you can get at my archie.org and today we open
up with the opening verses of suits medium in which Satan has
academics his dua and makes his prayer. And it's very important to
us because he that story of Satan is that Korea, there's so much
knowledge about da and that. Is that a bad if you don't have
Firstly, if you don't have anything to strive for in your
life, what are you doing? I just don't understand, like you got to
do something you just living wala it's one of the curses upon a
person. We asked to ask Allah Aafia and Sonoma we can't look
down on that. There are people they just wake up in their
sweatpants, and they eat and they who knows what happens with the
day they're on a device or gaming all day? And then they go deep
into the night, and then they wake up at 11am or 10:30am. Alright, I
mean, you could wake up at 10:30am and 11am If that's your nap after
you'd pray to her and you did the whole you prayed fetch and you
stayed up till it shut off then you sleep again that's different.
But these folks I mean it's pretty scary here wonder What are you
doing in life? Entertainment to me is sometimes one of your biggest
enemies because it's it just
numbs you that you don't have a goal you just entertaining
yourself sometimes sometimes it's an animal
All right, so if you didn't hear this story you're gonna want to go
back and listen to this entire story of Abdullah Andalusi
I believe I read once I am His name is off so alongside it and
the Lucy
but you got to read this man story and then listen to what we just
said before so
first of all,
for strictly speaking if you could take the CDs you could read them
just reading them you're not going to make a ruling based on the
stories of Benissa yet but but can you read them? Yeah, you can read
them. Can you take like, you know, just a story as
Lesson as long as that lesson has have something that
has a showerhead for us. Like if we have texts from Quran or Hadith
that could corroborate not the story but the lesson of the story.
That's the key. Like what is the implication there's a word called
Low Azim are the implications of the story. So if the implication
of the story
has a shed from the Quran and Hadith then we could use utilize
that. Yeah, we can. Alright, here's a question that says,
speaking of Ibn Josie, how do you find the condition of the humbly
mother when it comes to al Qaeda unfortunately, some modern STDs
are preaching doubt, oh shoot humbly teaching today.
There are is a page that you could go to true humbly outdated, I
think it's called
and also go to a shift usif of Enceladus Instagram page, so the
Instagram page to humbly update the
use of Ben sadhaks pages they represent with direct quotes, What
the How many say that how many Arpita is that that is deemed by
all the Edison to be a blessing a noble theta. And as you should use
have been cited recently sent me a book by Abdullah Ghanian Nabulsi,
he's saying that Bashar Al Qaeda and the humbler leader, the basis
of their opinion, is one and the same. The actual beliefs is one in
the same, just except that the ASHA IRA, they argued it
differently. They presented it differently, but the essence of
the belief is the same.
All right, put your questions in. Oh, yeah, here we go. So Nabil
XHXY says, is that the code for something for the youth that I'm
not aware of? Okay, what is the difference being sad and sad?
Forget as Edie go to humbly, so Nabil xh x, y.
Go to start if you want to study how many athletes go to true
humbly
crit, I think it's called, I just shared something from them today.
Or go to use FM and sada can study with him. Okay. And essentially,
the difference is the presentation. And the the way in
which the SATs express the 10 Z. So the things that the SATs don't
believe in, that somebody is also don't believe in, except the SATs
have expressed it in terms that or that we're not using the time of
email. That's the only difference, according to, you know, these the
umbrella that we spoke to.
Okay, and you should also go and listen to my podcast with Sheikh
Yusuf ibn Sadhak. It's an interview it's on YouTube.
Man me, she was stuck, says yesterday's question about how you
started your Islamic knowledge and journey short form version is that
we were a bunch of Egyptians, like most other Egyptians, we didn't
pray. We had Nefertiti statues. We had a cab on the wall picture of
the Kaaba. we fasted Ramadan, and my I remember my dad in the cradle
teaching me to Allah had when I was young, maybe not the cradle,
but as young. So we had that stuff. I knew Kuru a lot, but
there was no Dean besides that in the house. Nothing, right. There
was Egyptian culture.
And then at some point, some teachers came in and people
started to get aware of the deen. So we got into that. And my
parents were just they didn't pressure me about they just,
they were just happy whenever I would say, Yeah, I want to go to
gym, right? I want to go to the masjid. And so I'd like to see my
my mom happy, she would be happy. She never told me to write. So it
was always just for me. It was never something that anyone pushed
me to. Now, here's the trick. As a Muslim parent, I tell my kids to
pray, they have to pray and they have to memorize the Quran, I have
to give them a basis, right.
So the idea that that someone is not pressured into something is
not the only way in which people are inspired sometimes at Sheikh
Mohammed, the greatest preacher for the Arabs. His name was over
the last century. He didn't Mohammed admits Ali a shout out we
his father saw a vision him when he was born that he saw a bird
singing from a minaret.
So he went and asked his brother, what do you think the dream means?
He said, Go check if your wife is pregnant, because you're gonna
have a boy who's who's preaching reaches far and wide.
She turns out she was pregnant. So he knew this boy is going to be a
scholar.
So he pushed him to study and the shift did not want to study. He
said, I want to be a rich farmer. Right? I want to be a rich farmer.
He said you're going to study so he went and he forced him to
enroll at Azusa, or whatever the college was because there were two
colleges next to each other and he bought all
The books, the father took all his savings, and bought all the books.
And then he came back a year, a little bit a few months later to
check on his son. He looked at the books, and he said, the binding is
not even cracked, you're not studying.
And then he said, then my father, just put the book down.
And I'm expecting an outburst. You know, when you expect your parents
to blow up, and we all know, when the parents gonna blow up, you
live with him for a decade plus, right? You know, when your parents
gonna blow up, then you get the shock of your life, his blow up.
He said that my father then close the book,
put some money for my food and drink. And he said, ceremony. And
he walked out with a broken heart.
He said, The moment my father walked out with a broken heart, is
the moment I said, this is not right. I have to study. And when I
took the first step to studying, I became an addict, could not stop
reading and reading and reading and studying and sitting in all
the holocausts. He even went and he had a shift in Libya.
In 1998, or six, he think he passed away slightly before that.
A new man from New Jersey was his doctor.
And he was treating him
and he saw the sheikh weeping wand in the waiting room, or in the in
the office. And he said, Why are you weeping?
He said, I went to the library. Before he came to this trip. I
went to the to the library. And he said, There's nothing left to
read. There's nothing in this the in the Torah that Islami left for
me to read, especially in XFC. It he's focused on Tafseer. There's
like, there's no other Tafseer for me to read. He had read all the
Tafseer.
Right. So that was just shadow so so just because I'm saying that I
had no pressure into it does not mean that if a parent does
pressure their kids to pray or memorize Quran, that that they're
not going to get a good result, no, you will get a good result. It
is possible. So I'm just telling you that how it was for me.
And then so I sat with this, this Egyptian shape for a little bit,
who was very strong that I sat with, I went to the circles of
Ibrahim Booker for a long time. And he was living in and he had
like his zoo hood type of attitude, which was really
appealing to to me at least I liked this of it. And then it was
after that it was Hamza Yusuf. And so Allah sent me the person who
was suited me at that time. So the one shift suited my whole family.
Then the other share Dr. Ibrahim bucur, he bring the high school
kids, and I would hang out with them. So we will take the lesson.
I love the lesson. And I love the Hangout, and we would hang out.
And then as a college student, Hamza Yusuf came because he sort
of bridged to both worlds. I keep bridge this world of Deen, that
also what it means to be an American and, and he was a
convert, and he brought the California culture and he bought
this desert mode, Italian culture. To me, this was all new. All I
knew is Egyptians, Palestinians and Saudis. That's it. And there's
Pakistanis over there somewhere. Right. That's all I knew. That's
all we hung out with. But he brought something totally
different, a new culture, a new everything. And then he bought
some more. So I started studying with that I just never looked back
after that. And then at our time, there weren't a lot of resources
to tell the truth.
In this day and age, that if you would have discipline, the
resources are available if you have the discipline. Right, and
you can and the Sheoak are online now. Back, they didn't know that
no such thing as communicating openly with the shamans. It didn't
happen. Right. So
and then, and there weren't institutions, you could sign up
for some institution. It wasn't common. And you wouldn't know
about it. They didn't have websites, right? Someone who would
have to go and sign up and get a culture shock. It was very
different. So I had to scrap and scrap and scrap and get a little
bit of knowledge here a little bit of knowledge. But we but there was
curriculum, the one thing that the Hamza Yusuf and his shoe they
taught was that there were curriculums, right. And so I took
the curriculum in Arabic, a Jeremy Petronella and
Ben Asher
buddy, we sell it Hypnobabies at Auckland metallic. Okay, and then
it Hadith
so once the book with another chef, that's how I did it. It was
never in a formal way. But it was it was with Rick Elam and the most
important thing is stay in constant communication with you.
I'm in constant communication with different you to make sure my
understanding is sharp. Right, and that I'm on top of things.
Alright, so that's the answer from
Mara just question. June. All right, Ryan, anything from other
streams?
of courses?
Yeah, email Ryan and he will get you on
Don't say no to anybody who can't pay the tuition. So if you can't
pay that to my arcview.org and then and
people say Oh, Bo but get an application so don't get robbed
get robbed of what height? He's gonna lie to take Islamic courses,
let them live right? Mandala
Oh Kareem I actually was meaning to answer his message why consider
Mohammed Salah Kadeem is one of our one of our minutes he went to
Turkey now Shala Yeah, he did say he wants to Turkey before he came
to Virginia, and may Allah subhana, which
give him Sofia, eventually, just in the law, HR, he's very
dedicated. And he's got the engineers mentality, right? He's
one plus one equals two, not gonna get any tricks or any instability.
And we ask Allah Allah to give him and all the other students Sophia,
and most importantly for us and him as well. And all these
students is to come and consistency because the path of
knowledge is a long one. And we need consistency and stability in
our intention.
Triple H says, Oh, st from Chicago, we're entering abeja and
some of us are in deep sin.
How do we turn ourselves around that you don't give up? That's the
only solution for someone even at a * moment and that he he
quotes and he mentions the idea of someone who is what celeb this
been Marcia, addicted to a sin. And the only there's only one
solution for these types. You don't give up? That's the only
solution. There is no What's the secret decoder? What's the secret
what to do? Yes, there may be many different a day that you pray
with. What's the secret time Yes, take advantage of all that. But at
the end, there's one solution for someone like this, which is you
don't give up?
Alright, since then, Malik says, Can we just recite a stuffed zip
code or should we recite more elaborate version of stuff but
Allah is one of the best
of God. It results in increase of lifespan, increase of wealth
increase of children and nearness to Allah subhana wa Tada. So if a
person sticks to that, then they are good to go for sure. No doubt
about it. And if you want to read the secrets of it, go find them in
SUTA to new read, suited to sort of know with a open eye and you'll
see the secrets of a sofa.
Den it's Dennis goondas Dennis condos if I'm pronouncing that
right she says how do you know if you're willing of Allah? How can
one become one? Firstly there is it possible to know that someone
has already yes it is possible. It is possible for somebody to know
that they are willing from earlier Allah subhanho wa taala. It is
possible imam in Norway confirms this in his discussion. And it's
in this book here at Lisa L. cush idea, this book that everybody
should have and there's a PDF translation in English a reseller
Alcocer idea. It is possible that somebody can know how they can
know in different ways dreams from Olia other side of hand dreams
that they themselves see about themselves, it is possible, so
much out there already. The path to Allah is not difficult in this
in theory, okay, but it takes effort, it takes your whole soul
your heart and soul, learn and practice it. That's what will
because in the hadith of ALLAH, ALLAH SubhanA, which Allah
mentions that they know the difference between the forbidden
and Efika right, they worship Allah and with the obligatory
matters, then they do many extra matters supererogatory matters.
And so therefore, the,
the Loas them there or the implication in their Tina knows
the difference between a foot and an F villa. He knows the
difference. And so by knowing the difference, he must therefore be
knowledgeable. So that's the first thing seek knowledge, seek
knowledge of Aveda, and the names of Allah and His attributes and
then study fic and then study the acts of worship. Like dA is the
greatest act of worship. Okay, remember we're coming up on
Wednesday tomorrow between daughter Nasir is a time of hijab
dot study dot study of God the sister just asked about a sofa
Okay, study of God study X study that no efforts to hedge and do
acts of worship do much a bed alongside with acting upon your
knowledge and Allah will open up the doors for you.
Good there's no doubt about it. The doors will open up
all right, we got questions here. Ryan, what do you got? Okay,
shoot.
People
in possession of gin, you can
say this, is it possible for a righteous person to be taken a
prisoner of war or of war? It's a
tribulation that happens in
one place this philosophy.
Philosophy it's first place for everyone is
prohibition to read that nonsense philosophizing about the creator
or the world or the universe until you study. And you study, first
the refutations until your athlete becomes really strong.
Once someone's athlete becomes really strong, and they have a
constant contact with scholars about either than they may read.
So in the same way, and I always give the example
the boxing commission, you need to be a licensed boxer for them to
sponsor your fight. So if they permit someone like me, who has a
newt who never boxed ever to go fight against,
like Floyd Mayweather, one of the people, that will be a crime,
because that could be lead to murder, right? That's a crime. So
likewise, philosophy, and the argumentation is a boxing match of
the minds. So novices should not go there. Don't even go there. On
but if you train, then you could go there, you have to train first
and study, then you could go there.
Or if you're a regular person, you find this stuff boring anyway. So
what are they talking about? I actually said, look at the
philosophers when I studied philosophy, and I didn't do this
the right way.
I'm telling you, today, we didn't have a lot of resources in New
Jersey. I had to know for sure Islam was the truth. I knew some
of the truth. But I had to know for sure the competition out
there. So I went around studying all possible religions and
philosophies. By taking classes at Rutgers and reading, I just have
to see the competition, right? And know for sure what's what they're
saying. So there's no doubt. And one of the philosophy courses I
took the guy was really he was a nice guy.
And I'm sitting there thinking about the guy. I said, there's a
big difference between Chu and this guy show you the more you go
into Islam, all the shoe, they they're crisp, right as they
become real shoe, they become more crisp, clean, well dressed,
handsome. And on top of that, sir, they smell good. And they're
surrounded with people, right? They're always surrounded with
people who want what they have.
This guy, he's uncleaned.
And he's a loner, right? And what is he going to do for society?
Well, he can't even lead a family. Right? He didn't even have a
family. He's not even tolerable to marry, he, this guy was so
unclean, right. And I thought to myself, like, what's the result?
If this was a right, a good path, it should result in a person who
you want to hang out with. I don't want to hang out with these
people, none of them the whole lot, the whole department. None of
them were tolerable human beings. And none of them was a happy
person. Right? I was clipping and whining about something.
And I don't see a following around them, I will see like youth or
people random people coming but I can go to shake and the plumber
wants his attention and the rich person
has something. So oftentimes, you don't just get the ideas. Let's
look at the representative of those ideas. Right. And so that's
why that Sheikh Abdullah Andalusi he got a deed from Allah. Because
if you are such a leader of Allah, you can't have that attribute in
your heart of care. Contempt for other people. You have to have
Rama for other people.
So Allah is not accepting that is odd yet their hearts not be
wonderful hearts. They will teach them how to have one for hearts.
Right.
Let's see what we got here. Let's take one of these
this brother says you simplify just like this simplified. There's
no simplification here.
I'm, I'm real and no one's going to be more real than me about this
stuff. What?
Simplification there is no, there's no simplification here
Okay, what else we got here?
Question. Let's hear a spicy one good.
Jessen, automatically, he affirms attributes in English such as the
hand face and other issues. I
know if he also said if he just says I affirmed them. The know and
if he's definitely if he says no, there's not like him. It's a
chemical issue then No, we wouldn't do that. And that's
according to the
Feds and yeah, the feds will have shipside food
Okay, what else we got here while I'm loading this thing for
somebody, the Wi Fi stinks around here. We have to get a booster for
sure.
Is there any authentic scholarly opinion descendants of the Holy
Prophets of Allah for their son or given the glad tidings of dying?
I don't know about that. I heard chuckles
A lot of said to say that but I didn't. I don't have an arat
narration for that. So but as a narration but I didn't I don't
know the answer to that
teaching
I only teach a month
in the op ed class that's mainly the three main principles but no,
I don't teach monsoon
in that in a formal long winded way.
Question here says from medic toe ZIF
do Heaven and * physically are they existing or is it a mere
state? It is a physical existence no doubt about that. There's no
doubt about it and the resurrection is physical as well
what
someone said
my mom
is positive COVID-19 What should I do lenses are panic in the
consumer body mean 40 times and so you get sick
and that is basically a dot for all sick. Everyone's sick. That's
a dot for sickness. Leila Helens clinical terminal datamine 40
times. They also believe it or not read you to read they would read
do public readings of any book of
the prophets I said related to the messenger piece we find it like
Shema in Sahih Bukhari reading those books.
What else we got?
The question how much of the head must be uncovered and uncovered?
Or covered?
Maybe
we can answer the Hanafy questions here. That's not my thing. But
what we should do is you can ask me 15 Yes, we can ask about this.
Now sada Pierre says that sunnah dot infographic is all great pitch
to for those who know how to read Arabic. Oh, I think that brother
was saying that you're oversimplifying the Hemi creed.
Maybe that's what it is. Okay, maybe that's what he's saying.
Yeah, mate. Yeah, they did have some debates, but
there's no, but I'm not interested in the complicated things. I'm
interested in where they agreed. Because
yeah.
All right, what else we got here?
Nabila says, can you explain the pudsey Hadith about Allah loving
someone that he becomes his hearing is hearing that means is
everything of his becomes inspired with the truth?
And it comes in line with the Divine Decree, and therefore he
finds Tofik and success in the matters that he does and the
things that he does. La knows best, but that is the meaning of
the Hadith hula, okay, Hadith, Willa, where
Allah becomes his hearing his sink, everything of that nature,
because it means that he is the inspiration.
And it means that the person is on.
He's on
a path that Allah Tata wants those limbs to be upon.
So that's very important. That's the main hadith of hula
What else we got? Here? Someone said, What do you mean by Heaven
and * is physical as its concept.
Physical as opposed to like,
an emotional or spiritual state, where it's not a dream state. It's
true. It's 100%. True, right? Like it's physical, you can touch and
feel it, you're gonna have skin, you're gonna have bones, you're
gonna have eyes, just as we have eyes today. But the creation that
we will have that shape, the creation will be slightly
different. There's not going to be certain things of the cause and
effect that we have in this world, for example, the prophesy centum
says in that state, if you think of something in paradise, it
appears in front of you. So you don't have to take the certain
steps also the satisfaction of today we find satisfaction in
work, we find satisfaction in doing something good, right? That
doesn't exist.
Today, our bodies will get tired of a pleasure. If you engage in
some kind of a pleasure. One time two times, you sort of get bored
of it and it becomes a pain, like eating can become painful, but and
it doesn't. There's no death.
Pleasure keeps increasing. There's no need for rest and breaks.
There's no need for sleep, these types of things. So there is a
body but it's a different type of creation of that body but it is it
is a physical body
that people other religions get their prayers answered, but
they're not praying to a different animal.
Very,
very good question.
And the answer is
Oh, and I see tons. I think tons also was the one who asked about
you said you're, you're, you're simplifying. So I'll answer him in
a second.
Allah subhana, which he fulfills the needs of people. Okay? He
fulfills the needs of people and he's given something greater to
them, right? Does he keep them alive every day? Doesn't he give
them the sun? Doesn't he give them life existence in with? He has, he
is patient with people, Allah subhanaw taala has somebody with
people and Allah subhanaw taala has
Rama with people. That doesn't mean they're on the right path.
And it may be is to drudge is to drudge could be. So how they react
to it? Do they react to it, that their prayer was answered to more
openness to the truth and willing to draw near to Allah or more
worship of their idol and go into what they're praying to even more
than that? It's,
it's they're leading, the more straight because Allah to Allah?
He does. It gives you what you asked for. You have to understand
this. Even if you ask for cover, eventually he helps you. And
that's the meaning of he leads astray whomever he wishes.
For tons. Yes. The doctor had some hedge.
We had the podcast with them. And you could listen to that too. And
you'll benefit a lot from him. And we talked about it with him there.
Yeah.
All right.
It's Jim says how do we address those who deny the bidder has an
A, they can deny it all they want. It's
getting in the Anabella the
precedent in the first three generations and they call it
sunnah. They don't call it Buddha Hasina. They call it sunnah. All
right, if it has sinned in the first three generations, maybe
even I think ship use have had been started go back there he said
that to that podcast, the precedent amongst the righteous
they call it a son.
Especially the first three generations and Allah knows best
about that their opinion on
yeah
yes
it is said that COVID The Allamah of today they are treating COVID
and saying that it is like just like ticket run the webapp or
plagues, okay.
And so therefore he dies with it dies shaheed. Also it is death of
an internal organ. And they say that the one who dies upon the
death through an internal organ is such a difficult death.
That he's also counts amongst the martyrs because the Prophet
mentioned the one who's Mattoon that means on the inside of his
body is the cause of his death, organ collapse or something like
that.
All right, as Bill Bailey says, What is a good amount of solar
what to do every day 1000.
That's from economists owed say David M is owed said they should
not go
a full day let Friday in past doing 1000 kilowatts on the
prophets of Allah when he was done.
We got
to be wise. Yes, we do have blasphemy laws still.
We have blasphemy laws. 100% does
entail that the person is subjected to it is completely
unconscious of what's really going on
is that they are so
immersed in their misguidance that they don't even realize that
they're misguiding themselves further and remember is to Raj is
to drudge means being taken up so that you can be dropped down. It's
a punishment. It does not happen randomly. Allah to Allah does not
punish randomly
is to drudge person, after many, many, many warnings of the truth.
You've been told, once you've been told twice, you've been told so
many times of the truth. And yet you reject, reject and reject
until that point, Allah gives you what you want it because you
insisted upon it.
How does he give you what you want it by making it look appear more
beautiful and more beautiful. So we keep thinking you're succeeding
and he stops giving you more bumps, speed bumps, no more speed
bumps for you. Right? Nothing to remind you actually go faster, go
as fast as you want No.
Getting wealth and you're getting success and you thinking that this
is good for you. Right? And then it leads you to hitting a wall or
falling off and collapsing. So that's the concept of is to drop
and is to drop. Remember there is no concept here in Islam that
Allah
for no reason is they earned it and they got warnings and that's
the meaning of he guides who he was wills and misguides when he
wills
and
What else we got here?
Yes, someone Allahu alayhi wa Salam is one
can you go I don't know if you can go to your phone and open up my
stream and look at the questions and ask me the questions, because
I can't see the people's questions, unfortunately.
I see the questions. Oh, good. Can you you see a question box?
Yeah, okay. Yeah, you can and there's a question box. It should
be too. You can open that up too. For example, let me read one
escaping purgatory, if you can see that. That's the question box.
Is, is, I believe in Cisco eyes.
And making means to never be more humble. To be your well accepted,
making who I didn't get that. It's a loan officer the same thing.
It's still as DDU W ah, da, I guess it's Yeah. So this in making
means to Debbie Mohamed to be your accepted, that's the word.
If you're making dua,
that Allah Allah is pleased with you, okay?
Because the DUA is intimate conversation with Allah and Allah
does not want to intimate conversation except with those
whom he loves. So you persist in that, if you are studying FIP that
is another sign that Allah is pleased with the person.
If you're making subtle watts on the Prophet,
that is a another and you're drawing near to Allah by all these
extra actions. So you pile on all of these signs that Allah is
pleased with you. And Inshallah, we will be pleased with us. If we
continue to strive struggle, and we read it in reverse. So what who
was Allah please with? Right? And we have a, the list of science
characteristics traits from Quran from Hadith, then we go and we
take those on, we try to take on as many of those attributes as
possible.
Let me read this one from escaping purgatory. He or she says, How
should my river friend handle the death of her grandmother? She's
new to Islam and confused, what to feel and what to do
is always one of the most difficult things. How do you
handle that type of situation?
We do have, she's brand new in Islam, she has only one obligation
and that learn about Allah and His messenger. So Allah when he was
setting them, the other obligations are technically
obligations. All right. But according to the FIP of brand new
Muslims, based on the prophesy centum said, call them to Islam.
If they accept that, then teach them the prayer, if they accept
that make theirs don't take the best of it, of theirs, either. So
that Prophet prophesy said I'm a teacher, isn't that hadith that
there's gradation when there's a new Muslim?
So
the gradation, the wisdom should be that if you go and you
have a new Muslim, listen, you're not allowed to make dua for them.
I think that's going to be a problem, right? If it's going to
be a problem, then maybe the wisdom says that, all right, just
let them just start being Muslim first, later, they can learn about
that.
And then you can say, Look, your grandmother is going to someone
who's her Creator, who is more merciful than you.
There's no way that you have more mercy
than your grandmother, than Allah. So leave it at that. Just leave it
at that. That's, that's what I would say you have nothing to
worry about. There's nothing you could do. That is more merciful
than what Allah subhanaw taala at the mercy that Allah has, also has
more knowledge than us, right? I may have mercy upon this person
from based on what I know about them. Right? Based on what I know
about them. Allah knows what's inside of people's hearts. So just
leave it to Allah. That would be my answer.
What else you got?
To show me black screen for the livestream on YouTube. Okay, so
let's stop here. We got a lot of questions. We can't always take
the questions but we will be here from three from around 130 going
forward from 130 to around 230. And just come along here and for
everybody, let's make let's close out with the DUA. We ask Allah
subhana which are
blessed gatherings and we ask Allah Tada to give it to Sofia and
give it Baraka, we asked Kohana which are to accept the suave and
this muda Cara,
this reminder and
to give us Allah subhanaw taala to keep us on the straight path and
to keep us upon as sunnah, the book and the Sunnah and the Jamara
and the correct understanding of our Akita and of our FIP from
The today until the day we die, and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to
give us and to our parents, Jonathan for the dose without any
haisa We ask Allah to keep us away from from innovations and
heresies, and misguidance and fits in that lead people to misguidance
and for major sins and from the dirtiness of the heart of
arrogance. And, and the states of art that are displeasing to Him,
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to keep us studying at all time, and
to keep us people of dua, and to answer our.so ask Allah for each
other of our Dawa. Yet we ask Allah to Allah to make none more
beloved to us than his most beloved seydel Conan Sadan
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
it just seemed like you said, yeah.
Okay, so we didn't lose most of it. I wonder why it's not charged.
But it keeps showing a new window so I'm not sure what to do. Is
there a thing as soon as x for old broadcast says
