Welcome, everybody, to the Safina Society Nothing But

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

Facts live stream here from New Jersey brought

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

to you by the GRT Charity, and Omar,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

if you get a second, you could fire

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

up the GRT image here.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

GRT is one of our sponsors, and we

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

help them try to generate donations for them,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

and GRT is Global Relief Trust, and the

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

Global Relief Trust were one of the few

00:01:28 --> 00:01:32

people that were able to get into Gaza

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

because they had a man on the ground.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

Hey, Omar, whatever happened to our guy on

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

the ground there?

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

We haven't heard from him in a long

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

time, so I wonder, is he still available?

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

Has he been killed?

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

Who knows?

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

Allah knows best what happens to people.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

He literally just disappeared.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

A couple of people disappeared from, but he

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

literally disappeared, so we need to find out

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

where he is, and Omar, if you can

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

look this up, because Omar knows him.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

We raised 104,000 British pounds, and we're

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

almost up to 105,000 British pounds, and

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

this is over a year now.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

Maybe around a year now we've been doing

00:02:15 --> 00:02:15

this.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

All right, let's go to the full screen,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

Omar.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

I will be doing, inshallah, a book club.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

It will be a talk on October 25th

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

at the Bassing Ridge Masjid.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

I'm looking forward to going to ISBR.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

You know, SPQR is the old Roman thingy,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

but anyway, sometimes I call it SPQR, but

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

it's ISBR.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

I'm looking forward to go to ISBR on

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

October 25th, Bassing Ridge Masjid.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

I'm going to give a general talk.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

Me and Naz are going to give a

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

general talk about this.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:53

We'll have a discussion, and then on three

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

Tuesdays, we're going to read the whole book

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

and have a book club type of thing

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

going on.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

We encourage people to do this with this

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

book, because it's really, really good.

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

The way he does it, it's easy to

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

read, because he starts with stories, pop culture

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

stories.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

Probably there's even some anime in here, if

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

we know Naz, right?

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

He, like some other people, used to watch

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

these thousands of hours, but I'm very much

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

looking forward to meeting the Bassing Ridge community.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

Their good friend of mine is now their

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

imam, alhamdulillah, and it's going to be a

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

very nice evening, bismillahirrahmanirrahim, or nice set of

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

evenings talking about the problem of evil and

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

how Naz transforms this problem.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

The Quran really transforms evil into something that

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

we can accept, and evil, even, what is

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

evil?

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

We don't suffer evil.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

Muslims do not suffer evil.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:48

Why is that?

00:03:48 --> 00:03:52

Because the definition of evil is pain that

00:03:52 --> 00:03:57

does not lead to our fulfillment, growth, fruition,

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

etc., and benefit.

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03

And no Muslim believes that pain is like

00:04:03 --> 00:04:03

that.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:07

Every pain that we suffer does lead.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:11

It does lead to our future benefit.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

So we tolerate pain, we don't like it,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

we may whine and complain, but we're not

00:04:18 --> 00:04:23

having an existential crisis because there's pain, right?

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

And pain in the world does not negate

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

a creator at all, because the creator can

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

create pain.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

That's not an issue.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

That doesn't negate the fact that there's a

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

creator.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

The fact that complexity exists in the world

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

and variety and order is the indicator that

00:04:41 --> 00:04:46

we have a single, living, willful, knowledgeable creator.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

Pain now just needs an explanation.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

So that's why we need revelation.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

This is one of these things.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

The problem is trying to explain pain solely

00:04:57 --> 00:04:57

by the mind.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

Can you tell us about the soul?

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

Solely by your mind?

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

You can't say anything about your soul.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

Science and philosophy cannot tell us the nature

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

of the soul.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

How did we get it?

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

What happens after death?

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

Where was humanity before life on this earth,

00:05:17 --> 00:05:17

if anything?

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

What's the purpose of life?

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

Likewise, what's the purpose of pain?

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

So we don't know the purpose of life

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

without revelation.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

You're not going to know the purpose and

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

the function of pain, which is like within

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

the subset of life.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

Speaking of pain, I'd like to begin now

00:05:35 --> 00:05:40

with a dua for Shaban al-Dalu.

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

If I pronounce his name properly, his is

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

the picture and there's a reason Allah chose

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

this young man for his picture in a

00:05:48 --> 00:05:53

gruesome, gruesome attack by the perpetrators of our

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

modern Holocaust.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

And that is definitely the Palestinian Holocaust, nothing

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

less than that.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

And they're the perpetrators.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

So never again meant on the receiving side,

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

not on the giving side for them.

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08

They're now perpetrated one of the most gruesome

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

attacks that has ever been recorded on camera

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

to see a little hospital tent.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

And then they're going to lie, tell lies

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

and claim that there were weapons there, right?

00:06:22 --> 00:06:26

So that's what they're lying and claiming.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

And that's how they're going to soothe their

00:06:27 --> 00:06:27

conscience.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

The German politician that we saw, I think

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

she was like a foreign minister, some American

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

congressman, of course, they're paid by AIPAC to

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

just talk and they're calming, they're soothing their

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

conscience by saying there were weapons there.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

Hamas had weapons there, which is completely unsubstantiated.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

And even if it was substantiated, that doesn't

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

justify what they did, which was firebombing a

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

tent hospital.

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

And ultimately you had people who couldn't walk,

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

couldn't run for their lives, literally being burned

00:07:04 --> 00:07:04

alive.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

And people say, what do the Palestinians do?

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

They can't fight back.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

They have nothing to fight back with.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

Their way to fight back is to show

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

the world what's happening.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:18

So someone was showing, was video recording the

00:07:18 --> 00:07:23

tent bombing when suddenly they saw someone in

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

a bed connected to an IV trying to

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

move.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

And it was not a huge refugee camp.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

So they could easily identify, and they did

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

identify, that his name was Shaban Adelu.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

Resisting all evil is saying soothing their conscience.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

They have no conscience anymore, that's true.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

And this is why it's gone all over

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

the place.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

This is the young man.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

He is a medical student, I believe they

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

said he was.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

Or he was also a Hafiz of Quran,

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

a very pious young man.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

And he had regular hobbies like everyone else.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:05

At some point in time, he played the

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

guitar.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

He was 19 years old, just born basically.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

Just starting his life out, and Allah gave

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

him something better, shahada.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

Will not answer to one question.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

That's in our shaheed al dunya, that we

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

could judge from the matters of the dunya,

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

and Allah Ta'ala will judge the akhira.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:32

But provided that a believer, a person is

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

a believer, not a munafiq, and they die

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

this death, we are permitted to believe firmly

00:08:39 --> 00:08:39

he's a shaheed.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

Someone who memorizes the Quran, someone who prays,

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

and is a Muslim, we firmly believe that.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

It's not something that we are shy away

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

from saying.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

And Prophet ﷺ said, someone who dies in

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

a fire, counts as one of the martyrs.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

The fire will not touch a believer twice.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

That's the rule.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

The fire does not touch a believer twice.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

You get burnt in this life, you won't

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

be burnt in the next life.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

Bismillah al rahman al raheem, alhamdulillah, wa salatu

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

wa salamu ala rasulullah, wa ala alihi wa

00:09:15 --> 00:09:19

wa yaruzukhum hayatan tayyibatan fi quburihim, wa yajma

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

li ahlihim.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

We ask Allah to make them intercessors for

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

their family that lived, so that none of

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

them, all of them enter Jannah without any

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

hisaab, not being taken into account for anything.

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

We ask Allah ta'ala to judge them

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

by the best of their deeds, and overlook

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

all of their mistakes, and ask Allah ta

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

'ala to make all this suffering a purification

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

for all their mistakes, and for all those

00:10:26 --> 00:10:29

living, who may even have it harder than

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

those who have passed away, we ask Allah

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

to grant them sabr, and put in their

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

heart the knowledge that suffering is going to

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

be rewarded for them, will be rewarded for

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

them with Jannah, Jannat al Firdaus, in which

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

they'll be unified with their families, with their

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

parents, and will not taste one more moment

00:10:45 --> 00:10:45

of hardship.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

We ask Allah ta'ala to give them

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

a taste of Jannah that will make them

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

forget all of this hardship.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

Wa sallallahu barak ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

So this is, let's read a little bit

00:10:59 --> 00:11:03

about the bombing of Al-Aqsa, Al-Aqsa

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

Hospital.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:11

Deer al-Balah, Ghazab, Amani Maldi, still can't

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

believe she and her family survived the bombing

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

that hit Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

middle of the night, in the open space

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

where the attack on displaced people's tents took

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

place early on Monday.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

The smell of smoke prevails, burned cans, food

00:11:26 --> 00:11:31

scattered on the ground among charred blankets and

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

clothes.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

And I told you that I'm on these

00:11:34 --> 00:11:39

telegram chats where journalists are sharing like live

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42

footage on the spot, and one of them,

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

you're not going to believe, there was like

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

a half body.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

There was the top only of the body,

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

and they had to cover it because of

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

how gruesome it was.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

People wandered back and forth.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

Most of them used to live in tents,

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

and they're trying to find anything left behind

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

by the blaze that destroyed their flimsy homes.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

Bodies on fire as they ran.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

The attack tore through the makeshift camp set

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11

up by displaced people in the hospital courtyards,

00:12:11 --> 00:12:14

killing at least four people and injuring at

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

least 40.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

It was 1.10 a.m. when a

00:12:18 --> 00:12:23

massive explosion shook everything, said Maldi or Mehdi,

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

I don't know, a 37-year-old mother

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

of six, recalls as she sits in the

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

remains of her burned tent.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

I looked out and saw flames devouring the

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

tents next to ours.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

My husband and I carried the kids and

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

ran towards the emergency building.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

At the entrance, I saw my five-year

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

-old son screaming and bleeding.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

I took him to the doctors to discover

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

that he had shrapnel in his stomach, and

00:12:47 --> 00:12:50

there she shows a picture of her baby

00:12:50 --> 00:12:53

with red dots all over his stomach of

00:12:53 --> 00:12:53

injuries and wounds.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

She then says the doctors were able to

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

bandage him up but had to leave the

00:13:00 --> 00:13:04

shrapnel where it had hit him, explaining to

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

Maldi that it would require delicate surgery to

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

remove, a surgery that is not possible given

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11

the badly damaged medical sector.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:18

Many Palestinians displaced multiple times end up at

00:13:18 --> 00:13:21

schools and hospitals setting up tents again and

00:13:21 --> 00:13:24

again using whatever materials they can find, clustering

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

close together due to a lack of space.

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

Israel's bombs spread fire through the crowd tents

00:13:29 --> 00:13:34

within minutes as civil defense workers struggled to

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

put it out with what limited capabilities they

00:13:37 --> 00:13:37

had.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

Women and children, men as well, were running

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

away from the spreading fire, screaming.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

Some of them were on fire as they

00:13:44 --> 00:13:44

ran.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

Their bodies were on fire while they were

00:13:47 --> 00:13:47

running.

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

Some of them were able to put it

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

out and some of them were consumed by

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

the fire.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

Where are we supposed to go?

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

The winter is coming.

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

Is there no one to stop this holocaust

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

against us?

00:14:00 --> 00:14:04

Her tent was next to Jamalat Wadi's tent,

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

another woman, which was practically at the center

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

of the bombing.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

She's 43 years old.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

It was a miracle that we survived, me

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

and my seven daughters.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

I woke them up screaming as our flaming

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

tent was falling on our heads.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

My neighbor, her son and her husband were

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

burned to death.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

A woman's son and husband burned to death.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:29

No one could save them.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

Like many others, she was forced to flee

00:14:32 --> 00:14:37

numerous times, starting in Shuja'iyah, then Tarrafah,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:41

then Nusayrat, then Khan Yunis, then Aqsa hospital.

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

Now we're on the streets again.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

I'm not staying here after this.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

Nowhere is safe.

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

Hospitals and schools are at the forefront of

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

Israeli targeting.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

Meha al-Sarsak, she's 17 years old.

00:14:59 --> 00:15:01

She lives in a tent adjacent to the

00:15:01 --> 00:15:01

ones that burnt.

00:15:02 --> 00:15:05

Get some of the pictures from aljazeera.com.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

Just go to the home page and you'll

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

see the pictures there so people could see

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

what we're talking about.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

And the first story that you'll see there,

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

click on that, yeah, click, go to the

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

story that says there, our neighbor is bombing,

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

yeah, and click those pictures.

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

Her family's tent was not affected, but she

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

witnessed the first moments of the explosion.

00:15:28 --> 00:15:32

She says she's walking through carnage left behind

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

by the bombing, crying.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

And she said as she was walking, she

00:15:36 --> 00:15:40

witnessed a leg fell down from the ground,

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

fell down from above onto the ground.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:48

After the hospital grounds were targeted, she stopped

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

sleeping at night, fear of an Israeli bombing.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

She just said, I was awake, but I

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

feared happened for the seventh time.

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

In other words, for the seventh time, she

00:15:58 --> 00:16:02

was sleeping somewhere and that place got bombed.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

I screamed for my mother and my eight

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

siblings and we ran out towards the hospital

00:16:09 --> 00:16:09

building.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:13

I saw our neighbor, Umm Shaaban, which is

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

Alaa al-Dalu, the mother, I guess.

00:16:16 --> 00:16:21

She's 37 years old, completely burned and her

00:16:21 --> 00:16:26

body charred along with her son, Shaaban.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

Alaa, which is Umm Shaaban, and her son

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

Shaaban, both of them completely burned and charred.

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

When they were moving the victims from there,

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

I saw a leg fall to the ground.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

She cried.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

They said the South is safe, but there

00:16:44 --> 00:16:44

is no safety.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

People were burned alive and we spent a

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

very terrifying night not knowing what would be

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

bombed next.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

Every time the hospitals targeted, we're terrified, but

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

last night was the worst.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

The fire ate the tents and the people's

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

bodies in moments.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:02

All we could do is call out for

00:17:02 --> 00:17:02

God's mercy.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

Israel is now painted itself as the antagonist

00:17:11 --> 00:17:12

in a new chapter of history.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

That's how we can see things.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

No matter what it succeeds to do in

00:17:19 --> 00:17:23

terms of taking land, transforming, taking all of

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

Gaza, transform, whatever it is, it is now

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

the evil empire and it's the antagonist in

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

a new chapter of history.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:34

That chapter cannot ever be closed until a

00:17:34 --> 00:17:38

resolution occurs, as in any story, and that

00:17:38 --> 00:17:42

resolution must entail justice and it must entail

00:17:42 --> 00:17:47

the downfall of the antagonist and it must

00:17:47 --> 00:17:54

entail the success and the triumph of the

00:17:54 --> 00:17:58

protagonist, the victims here, the Palestinian people.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

And if it's not going to be one

00:18:00 --> 00:18:02

generation, it'll be the next generation.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

It doesn't have to happen in one set

00:18:04 --> 00:18:08

of 10 years or five years, but no

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

different than how the Nazis became the antagonist

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

of that chapter of history.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

Going in and doing things, I think universally

00:18:16 --> 00:18:19

we can agree, had to be stopped.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:22

That chapter in history could not come to

00:18:22 --> 00:18:26

an end unless the Nazis suffered and collapsed

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

and were brought to their knees and were

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

finished.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

Nazism and Zionism essentially are a form of

00:18:32 --> 00:18:35

racism and superiority, ethnic superiority.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

There's no, what is the difference between the

00:18:37 --> 00:18:37

two?

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

One group is telling us this is their

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

land because of their racial superiority and because

00:18:43 --> 00:18:47

they are who they are and God gave

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

them the land, et cetera.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

The other group was saying we're blonde hair

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

and blue eyes are superior race.

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

Do you see a difference?

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

One group said, do you get causing all

00:18:58 --> 00:18:58

of our problems?

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

Let's remove you from the country with a

00:19:01 --> 00:19:02

final solution.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

And these guys are saying no different, except

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

they just haven't worded it as a final

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

solution.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

Although that's what it is.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

And that's what they're doing.

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

The chapter in history cannot end without a

00:19:13 --> 00:19:13

resolution.

00:19:14 --> 00:19:18

Like you don't just smoothen over all these,

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

this level of misdeeds at a global scale.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

It doesn't smooth over.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:23

It's never going to go over.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

So New York Times today saying why we

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

should root for Israel to win and why

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

we want Israel to win.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

You have already lost.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

You may gain land.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

You may succeed in advancing yourself as the

00:19:38 --> 00:19:42

evil empire, but make no mistake, the world

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

is the audience and the world has determined

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

that you are the antagonist of this new

00:19:46 --> 00:19:46

chapter in history.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

A story cannot end without a resolution.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

The human being just doesn't live like this.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:56

You do an oppression and it just continues.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

The only way it continues is if you

00:19:59 --> 00:20:03

were to wipe away everybody altogether, the way

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

the Australians, the Canadians and the Americans did.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

But at that time, there wasn't a global

00:20:09 --> 00:20:09

audience.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

So you could actually get away with it.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

And by the time the world's figured out

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

what you're doing, there are no Native Americans

00:20:15 --> 00:20:18

left except for a handful and you give

00:20:18 --> 00:20:18

them a day.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:21

You start putting them on coins.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

You start giving them statues and you start

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

honoring them before public speeches because it's all

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

over now.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

They're not bothering you anymore.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

But this is not the case.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

This is not the case because by making

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

as Elon Musk, when he was saying before

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

he went and got spanked by Netanyahu in

00:20:38 --> 00:20:42

Israel and was made to go to detention,

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

which is a tour of Auschwitz with Ben

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

Shapiro, he was talking common sense.

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

And he was saying, let's just look at

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

this logically.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

For every time you go after Hamas, if

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

you, for every one person you kill, you

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

create two people who hate you.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:00

When the ratio is probably more like one

00:21:00 --> 00:21:03

to a thousand is that Palestinians are not

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

one small group of people.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:06

All the Arabs are watching.

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

Now the whole world is watching.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

The whole world is watching this.

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

I go and I see British soccer guys

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

who all they've poked posts about is British

00:21:15 --> 00:21:15

football.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

They're like the most outspoken people on Twitter.

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

Like they can't stand what they're seeing.

00:21:21 --> 00:21:25

I'm seeing Irish people, Korean people have no

00:21:25 --> 00:21:29

business ethnically at least or religiously with Palestinians

00:21:29 --> 00:21:30

or Muslims.

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

They're just as humans.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:36

So unlike Australia, unlike what Americans did to

00:21:36 --> 00:21:39

Native Americans and unlike what the Canadians did,

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

there's no going back from this.

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

Whereas the Canadian, those three countries, there were,

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

there was not a global audience to say,

00:21:46 --> 00:21:47

hey, what about this?

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

How does this end?

00:21:50 --> 00:21:52

So they were, and they were able, that's

00:21:52 --> 00:21:52

number one.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:55

Number two, they were able to completely erase

00:21:55 --> 00:21:59

those people until they're only a handful of

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

insignificant minority that can't do anything.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

You're not doing this in Palestine.

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

You're not eliminating all the Arabs.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

You're not eliminating all the Muslims.

00:22:09 --> 00:22:12

So where are you going with this war?

00:22:13 --> 00:22:16

The hatred that exists in people for you

00:22:16 --> 00:22:25

has multiplied beyond what they say, what is

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

the mathematical term they say, whatever it is.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:31

It's, it's got, it's not going like this.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:31

It's going like this.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:34

You're not going to last on the earth

00:22:34 --> 00:22:39

when a, when billions of people hate you.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

They, you may have power over them now.

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

And why do I say it like this?

00:22:45 --> 00:22:50

Because in our understanding of Sayyidina Yusuf was

00:22:50 --> 00:22:55

we establish him.

00:22:55 --> 00:22:56

What does it mean when Allah says he

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

establishes a people on the earth?

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

It means the people of the earth love

00:23:00 --> 00:23:04

him and whatever institutions they run, they establish

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

them in that institution.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:06

They give them positions.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

They protect them.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

Establishment on the earth has nothing to do

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

with money and buildings and armies.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

It has to do with the hearts of

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

the people of the earth.

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

Eventually those, that money, those armies, those countries,

00:23:21 --> 00:23:24

those buildings will be inherited by people who

00:23:24 --> 00:23:24

hate you.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

That's exactly the meaning of being established on

00:23:30 --> 00:23:30

the earth.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

So Elon Musk in that quote was probably

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

the most sensible thing.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

He was saying, have you succeeded if all

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

you're doing is creating more people who hate

00:23:40 --> 00:23:40

you?

00:23:43 --> 00:23:47

And I think it was another Lebanese, another

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

influencer who is not beyond, and he's a

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

philosopher and he's an investor.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

And he oftentimes has these, you know, you

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

can either love or hate his attitude, but

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

when it comes to the past 12 months,

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

he's been amazing.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

Nassim Taleb, Nicholas Nassim Taleb.

00:24:04 --> 00:24:08

He's Lebanese, although he calls himself Phoenician, whatever

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

the heck is the difference, right?

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

I guess it's a cooler term if he

00:24:12 --> 00:24:12

likes that.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

And he says, so what is the solution

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

here?

00:24:16 --> 00:24:18

You kill a Hamas member, that Hamas member

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

has a family.

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

So now I'm hated by more people.

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

Okay, the solution, let's kill them.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

Okay, but now all the Arabs are watching

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

you kill innocent people because even if someone

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

is from the mafia or from Hamas, their

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

wife and kids are not to blame in

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

common sense, maybe in the Jewish law, that's

00:24:36 --> 00:24:40

one thing, but commonsensically says, no, they're not

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

to blame.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

So now all the Arabs hate you.

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

Now what's the solution here?

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

I know, sorry, this wasn't Nassim Taleb.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

This was the comedian, the Egyptian comedian, I

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

forget his name, Bassem Yusuf.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

And he says, so what are you going

00:24:53 --> 00:24:53

to do with them?

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

Kill all the Arabs then.

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

Well, then now all the liberals are watching

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

throughout the world.

00:24:58 --> 00:25:01

Anyone with a heart, anyone with a soft

00:25:01 --> 00:25:02

heart is watching all this.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:03

What are you going to do with them?

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

I don't know where they're going with this.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:11

No matter how much land they take and

00:25:11 --> 00:25:15

who they kill, they have lost because they're

00:25:15 --> 00:25:18

now the antagonists on the global stage.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

And the story cannot, humanity, the human beings,

00:25:23 --> 00:25:25

their hearts will not allow for this to

00:25:25 --> 00:25:27

end until we see the downfall of the

00:25:27 --> 00:25:27

antagonists.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

That's the nature of all stories.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:38

Movie makers can try to make movies that

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

are different, but that's not going to change

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

anything of the reality of human beings.

00:25:41 --> 00:25:44

We have to see some closure, right?

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

We have to see some closure and, or

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

really victory, justice needs to be seen.

00:25:53 --> 00:25:58

Somebody said, well, Arab leaders, they're inactive.

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

They're not just inactive and passive as I

00:26:01 --> 00:26:04

commented on them, they're complicit.

00:26:05 --> 00:26:08

So we have to ask the question, what

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

have we done as an Ummah that Allah

00:26:10 --> 00:26:13

Ta'ala has elevated over us and given

00:26:13 --> 00:26:16

absolute control to do whatever they want with

00:26:16 --> 00:26:17

us?

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

Such a vicious and merciless and nasty cowardly

00:26:21 --> 00:26:22

enemy.

00:26:23 --> 00:26:26

Well, I'll tell you what, here's another way

00:26:26 --> 00:26:27

to look at it.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:33

If a Muslim dies, having never repented from

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

his sins, this person will be purified in

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37

the next life.

00:26:37 --> 00:26:38

In what?

00:26:38 --> 00:26:38

In *.

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

And Allah Ta'ala has established angels called

00:26:42 --> 00:26:44

Zabaniya that punish.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:46

They punish.

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

They punish the believers.

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

Some ulama have said, and I haven't really

00:26:50 --> 00:26:51

seen this, but I don't know what the

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

source is, but they say that those angels

00:26:55 --> 00:26:58

have no eyes, no noses, and no ears.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:03

Because if they saw or smelled or heard

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

the torture, the natural mercy that's in everything

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

would come out and they wouldn't do the

00:27:08 --> 00:27:08

job.

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

And Allah knows best if that's true or

00:27:10 --> 00:27:10

not.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

I'm just telling you something I heard.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:19

Point being, though, Allah has created creatures who

00:27:19 --> 00:27:23

will punish believers so severely it's called *.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

That's in the next life.

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

And it will be for a long time

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

and it will be far worse than anything

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

that exists in this life.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

And Allah Ta'ala, when pain comes down

00:27:34 --> 00:27:37

on believers, it comes through people and it's

00:27:37 --> 00:27:38

for a wisdom.

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

It's for a reason.

00:27:40 --> 00:27:44

You cannot enjoy paradise if sins are blocking

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

your sense, your soul.

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

Just like if I have a film over

00:27:48 --> 00:27:51

my tongue, I can't taste food.

00:27:51 --> 00:27:55

I need to be purified and cleansed so

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

I can enjoy the food.

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

Likewise, the human soul, when it's covered in

00:28:00 --> 00:28:02

darkness and sins, it cannot enjoy paradise.

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

You put those sins there yourself.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

You could have repented in this world.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

You could have made pilgrimage or hajj or

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

just repented with your heart and change your

00:28:11 --> 00:28:11

ways.

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

You didn't do that.

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

Terrible things happen in life.

00:28:17 --> 00:28:20

Sicknesses, debt, loss of money, fights with people,

00:28:20 --> 00:28:24

really bad experiences could have happened to you.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:26

That would have purified you.

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

Moment of death is so scary for some

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

people.

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

That's their purification.

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

In the grave is another location to be

00:28:34 --> 00:28:34

purified.

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

There's a long expanse of time in the

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

grave such that a person may enter with

00:28:39 --> 00:28:40

a whole bunch of sins.

00:28:41 --> 00:28:42

And by the time he's resurrected, he's purified

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

of those sins because of the suffering that

00:28:45 --> 00:28:47

existed in the grave.

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

The world is called the Barzakh, which is

00:28:51 --> 00:28:52

soul and no body.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

Then you're resurrected again and you're given a

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

body and that experience may be so painful

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

and shocking to people that it's also a

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

source of purification.

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

So that's location number four.

00:29:06 --> 00:29:09

Number five is the planes of the resurrection.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:14

The very planes of the resurrection, your sins

00:29:15 --> 00:29:18

take a physical form and they chase you

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

and they scare you and you get purified

00:29:20 --> 00:29:24

with that fear and you're lost and you

00:29:24 --> 00:29:25

don't know where you're going.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

Resurrection is not like I'm resurrected online to

00:29:28 --> 00:29:28

be judged.

00:29:29 --> 00:29:29

No, it's a world.

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

It's a whole planet.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:36

Which means the earth does not even look

00:29:36 --> 00:29:36

like the earth anymore.

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

The earth that we will be resurrected from,

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

where we're buried or where we're standing right

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

now, will look so different you won't even

00:29:46 --> 00:29:47

recognize it.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

It will not have a single tree, valley,

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

hill, ocean, lake or stream.

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

It'll just be as if it's a straight

00:29:54 --> 00:29:54

up desert.

00:29:55 --> 00:29:57

And in the sky you will see your

00:29:57 --> 00:29:58

sins chasing you and on the ground you

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

will see your sins chasing you, given a

00:30:00 --> 00:30:06

physical form, anthropomorphized, given a physical form.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

And that will be a type of purification

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

for some people and it's a precursor for

00:30:10 --> 00:30:10

their torture.

00:30:11 --> 00:30:13

And that may come to an end.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

Then all of your sins at that point

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

maybe will have come to an end.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:24

But some people have so many major sins

00:30:24 --> 00:30:27

and they've never repented from it.

00:30:28 --> 00:30:29

That's the key.

00:30:29 --> 00:30:30

They've never repented.

00:30:32 --> 00:30:35

So their sins, it's like gunk on the

00:30:35 --> 00:30:35

soul.

00:30:36 --> 00:30:37

Sickness didn't do enough.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:39

Punishment in the grave didn't do enough.

00:30:39 --> 00:30:40

Resurrection didn't do enough.

00:30:40 --> 00:30:42

So now they must be purified in the

00:30:42 --> 00:30:42

* fire.

00:30:44 --> 00:30:47

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala cares for the

00:30:47 --> 00:30:50

purification of those who do the most important

00:30:50 --> 00:30:52

deed, which is they believe in him.

00:30:53 --> 00:30:55

After someone believes in Allah and his messenger,

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

they still may end up doing terrible, terrible

00:30:57 --> 00:30:58

things.

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

Yet Allah cares enough about them just for

00:31:01 --> 00:31:04

their belief, to purify them.

00:31:04 --> 00:31:07

You are blocking your soul from enjoying paradise

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

and Allah wants you to enjoy paradise.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

So he must remove it from you and

00:31:11 --> 00:31:12

you keep running away from him.

00:31:13 --> 00:31:16

So we even hold something far worse than

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

the Israelis.

00:31:18 --> 00:31:24

The Zabaniyya will apply far worse punishment, except

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

the Zabaniyya themselves are not bad, they're angels.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:31

But what they're doing to people who go

00:31:31 --> 00:31:33

to Jahannam of the Muslims, of the believers

00:31:33 --> 00:31:36

and the believers of all past nations included,

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

the levels of heaven are seven.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

The top one is for people who are

00:31:42 --> 00:31:43

believers.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

Their core essence belief, they did the most

00:31:47 --> 00:31:48

important thing, they submitted to God and his

00:31:48 --> 00:31:48

prophet.

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

After that though, they live terrible lives.

00:31:52 --> 00:31:54

So they can't enter paradise with that.

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

They won't enjoy it if they did.

00:31:57 --> 00:31:58

Now they need to be purified.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

So they get put into this level of

00:32:01 --> 00:32:02

* called Jahannam.

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

It's the least of all punishment and it's

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

the worst punishment such that if a person

00:32:06 --> 00:32:09

was to stick a finger in it, they

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

would not remember any pleasure in this life.

00:32:12 --> 00:32:16

Hadith said the prophet said that a man

00:32:16 --> 00:32:17

will be brought forth who has the most

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

pleasure in the entire creation.

00:32:20 --> 00:32:21

Who is that person?

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

Allah knows best.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:25

But Allah knows there is an individual, this

00:32:25 --> 00:32:29

person was given the most greatest amount of

00:32:29 --> 00:32:30

pleasure in this life.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:33

He lived a long life, he had very

00:32:33 --> 00:32:34

few problems and he had a lot of

00:32:34 --> 00:32:34

pleasures.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:38

Then Allah commands him and says, put just

00:32:38 --> 00:32:41

the tip of your index finger in *.

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

And he does so and he pulls it

00:32:44 --> 00:32:44

right out.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

Then Allah asks him, what did you enjoy

00:32:47 --> 00:32:48

in this life?

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

He said, I can't even remember anything of

00:32:50 --> 00:32:50

this life.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

I never enjoyed anything in my life.

00:32:52 --> 00:32:53

This was the worst pain I've ever experienced.

00:32:54 --> 00:32:55

I would have traded all of it just

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

not to have that one piece of pain.

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

And so it shouldn't surprise us that Allah

00:33:01 --> 00:33:04

has elevated over us such an enemy as

00:33:04 --> 00:33:08

Israel, as the Zionists, as the Americans who

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

are now sending troops by the way.

00:33:10 --> 00:33:11

Open up the New York Times, Omar, will

00:33:11 --> 00:33:12

you?

00:33:14 --> 00:33:15

Paywall.

00:33:15 --> 00:33:17

All right, I'll open up mine and we'll

00:33:17 --> 00:33:17

get that.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:19

The United States is now sending troops and

00:33:19 --> 00:33:23

our congressmen and all of our pundits and

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

all of these, the British and every newspaper

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

run by Rupert Murdoch and all of these

00:33:27 --> 00:33:28

terrible human beings.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:31

The only difference is that these torturers of

00:33:31 --> 00:33:36

ours, and I say ours not because we've

00:33:36 --> 00:33:39

been tortured personally, anyone here or even the

00:33:39 --> 00:33:41

viewers, but we are one ummah.

00:33:43 --> 00:33:46

These torturers of ours, they themselves will go

00:33:46 --> 00:33:46

to *.

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

Unlike the Zabaniya that are working for Allah

00:33:49 --> 00:33:51

as angels of *.

00:33:52 --> 00:33:53

But the result is the same.

00:33:54 --> 00:33:55

So this is how we view our pain

00:33:55 --> 00:33:56

here.

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

All of our suffering here.

00:33:59 --> 00:34:04

The Prophet said, my ummah, this purification occurs

00:34:04 --> 00:34:06

in this life before the next.

00:34:06 --> 00:34:10

One of the gifts that Allah has given

00:34:10 --> 00:34:15

his Prophet is to pour all of the

00:34:15 --> 00:34:19

purification in this life so that when they

00:34:19 --> 00:34:21

come on the day of judgment, no Muslim

00:34:21 --> 00:34:22

goes to *.

00:34:23 --> 00:34:26

And Jahannam will be for perhaps the believing

00:34:26 --> 00:34:29

people of previous nations.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:32

So the Prophet, his nation is from when

00:34:32 --> 00:34:34

he came until the end of time.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:38

Before that, they're the nations of other Prophets

00:34:38 --> 00:34:41

based on the localities and which Prophet came

00:34:41 --> 00:34:42

to them.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

So you may have perhaps the believers from

00:34:45 --> 00:34:49

the time of Moses, from Moses all the

00:34:49 --> 00:34:53

way to Prophet Dawud Alayhis Salaam, from Prophet

00:34:53 --> 00:34:57

Dawud to Prophet Isa bin Maryam Alayhis Salaam.

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

And really all of those are the ummah

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

of Moses.

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

But the gift that Allah has given our

00:35:05 --> 00:35:06

ummah, we have to keep in mind Allah

00:35:06 --> 00:35:09

cares for the scoreboard of the next life,

00:35:09 --> 00:35:10

not of this life.

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

It doesn't affect Allah Ta'ala one bit,

00:35:14 --> 00:35:18

the fact that the Zionists and their evangelical

00:35:18 --> 00:35:21

friends in the U.S. who are fools

00:35:21 --> 00:35:25

because according to the Talmud, Jesus is being

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

punished right now as we speak in a

00:35:27 --> 00:35:28

vat of boiling feces.

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

And yet these are the people they chose

00:35:32 --> 00:35:33

to side with.

00:35:34 --> 00:35:35

And they've been brainwashed that you have to

00:35:35 --> 00:35:37

love the nation state of Israel.

00:35:38 --> 00:35:40

Nation state is something that didn't even exist

00:35:40 --> 00:35:43

in the time of when these scriptures that

00:35:43 --> 00:35:44

they're quoting.

00:35:46 --> 00:35:49

But those people think that they're winning and

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

succeeding and they're enjoying and they're happy and

00:35:51 --> 00:35:53

they're laughing and they're saying I'm going to

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

get a beach house in Gaza, I'm going

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

to get a beachfront property and they're laughing

00:35:58 --> 00:35:59

and enjoying this stuff.

00:36:00 --> 00:36:01

Allah does not care.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:02

It's irrelevant.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:04

You know what it's like?

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

I got a kid of mine studying for

00:36:07 --> 00:36:07

the SAT.

00:36:08 --> 00:36:09

Every Saturday I call him in and said

00:36:09 --> 00:36:13

there's no plane outside with your friends, you

00:36:13 --> 00:36:13

sit and study.

00:36:14 --> 00:36:17

And he's studying and he doesn't like it

00:36:17 --> 00:36:18

but he's got to study.

00:36:18 --> 00:36:19

I'm making him study.

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

And those kids ride their bikes, pass by

00:36:22 --> 00:36:24

and they make fun of him.

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

And they send text messages to him with

00:36:26 --> 00:36:28

all their partying and all their happiness.

00:36:28 --> 00:36:30

And you, what are you doing?

00:36:30 --> 00:36:31

You're missing out.

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

And he feels like he's truly missing out.

00:36:35 --> 00:36:37

But why do I inflict that upon him?

00:36:37 --> 00:36:40

Because I know for sure I've lived and

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

I've seen and as every parent has, this

00:36:42 --> 00:36:43

is what's going to benefit you.

00:36:44 --> 00:36:45

Then you're going to go and get an

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

SAT and get a good score and have

00:36:47 --> 00:36:48

a good life after that.

00:36:49 --> 00:36:51

Whereas those kids, it's going to be the

00:36:51 --> 00:36:52

opposite.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:56

That's the case with all the cool kids

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

that you parents didn't let you play with

00:36:58 --> 00:36:58

when you were young.

00:36:59 --> 00:37:04

Fast forward 15 years and there was a

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

kid that was like that in our school.

00:37:07 --> 00:37:09

This was the coolest cat in the grade.

00:37:10 --> 00:37:11

Everyone wanted to hang around him.

00:37:12 --> 00:37:14

I happened to look him up after 20

00:37:14 --> 00:37:15

years just out of curiosity.

00:37:16 --> 00:37:18

It's pretty sad what I saw but it

00:37:18 --> 00:37:19

was like just like the movies.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:22

Just like Back to the Future where the

00:37:22 --> 00:37:23

bully ends up being like a driver or

00:37:23 --> 00:37:26

something to the one he bullied.

00:37:28 --> 00:37:30

He wasn't even a bully.

00:37:30 --> 00:37:31

He was just a cool kid.

00:37:31 --> 00:37:32

He was a nice guy.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

But he was always having fun.

00:37:35 --> 00:37:37

He was always doing something neat.

00:37:39 --> 00:37:40

And he ended up, I don't want to

00:37:40 --> 00:37:41

say the job that he has so that

00:37:41 --> 00:37:43

no one gets offended, but it's definitely not

00:37:43 --> 00:37:46

what he would have panned out for himself.

00:37:49 --> 00:37:52

And his appearance has, I don't know what,

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

he's depressed or what.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:55

But this is what happens.

00:37:55 --> 00:37:57

Every parent does this to their child.

00:37:58 --> 00:38:00

Likewise Allah purifies us.

00:38:01 --> 00:38:06

And he could care, have no concern whatsoever

00:38:06 --> 00:38:08

for this dunya and the victory scoreboard of

00:38:08 --> 00:38:12

the victory chants and the mockery of the

00:38:12 --> 00:38:15

kuffar over the mu'mineen and their imagination that

00:38:15 --> 00:38:17

they've won anything.

00:38:22 --> 00:38:25

Doesn't weigh with Allah Ta'ala even the

00:38:25 --> 00:38:27

weight of the wing of a gnat.

00:38:28 --> 00:38:31

And that's what the Prophet ﷺ said about

00:38:31 --> 00:38:32

the entire dunya.

00:38:33 --> 00:38:36

All of the laughter and happiness and think

00:38:36 --> 00:38:39

that they've won of the pharaoh, of every

00:38:39 --> 00:38:43

enemy that's existed, every bad person, Nimrod, all

00:38:43 --> 00:38:47

of these people that inflicted pain upon Allah's

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

people on the earth from the time of

00:38:49 --> 00:38:50

Adam all the way until the end of

00:38:50 --> 00:38:50

time.

00:38:51 --> 00:38:53

It is not something that weighs with Allah

00:38:53 --> 00:38:55

even a gnat's wing.

00:38:55 --> 00:38:58

And hence we may be boiling on the

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

inside and that is considered.

00:39:00 --> 00:39:03

The Quran itself says, the battle of Badr,

00:39:03 --> 00:39:08

the hearts of the believers were boiling from

00:39:08 --> 00:39:11

being tortured, punished, expelled from their homes by

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

these arrogant pagan worshipping Meccans.

00:39:15 --> 00:39:16

And then Allah gave them a gift.

00:39:17 --> 00:39:19

It was the battle of Badr in which

00:39:19 --> 00:39:21

they were mowed down all of them.

00:39:22 --> 00:39:23

And some of them made to live so

00:39:23 --> 00:39:25

they can go home and tell the story

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

and then die there like Abu Lahab.

00:39:28 --> 00:39:31

And Allah says about that, وَيَشْفِي صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ

00:39:31 --> 00:39:39

مُؤْمِنِينَ To soothe, assuage the hearts of a

00:39:39 --> 00:39:39

believing people.

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

And that will happen to us.

00:39:41 --> 00:39:43

If not us, future generations.

00:39:44 --> 00:39:48

The victory of the ummah is guaranteed through

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

the signs of the end of time.

00:39:51 --> 00:39:52

And that may not be, number one, it

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

may not be in our life.

00:39:54 --> 00:39:55

We don't know whose lifetime that's going to

00:39:55 --> 00:39:56

happen in.

00:39:56 --> 00:39:57

And number two, it may not be the

00:39:57 --> 00:39:57

only victory.

00:39:57 --> 00:39:59

There's nothing that states that we have to

00:39:59 --> 00:40:02

believe that that's the only victory.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:05

No, there could be a victory before that

00:40:05 --> 00:40:05

too.

00:40:07 --> 00:40:11

That's not discounted in the signs of the

00:40:11 --> 00:40:11

end of time.

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

It's not discounted that you're only going to

00:40:13 --> 00:40:14

get one victory.

00:40:14 --> 00:40:15

Is it likely?

00:40:16 --> 00:40:16

It could be.

00:40:17 --> 00:40:18

Is it probable?

00:40:18 --> 00:40:22

Maybe, but it's not impossible that there would

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

be a victory before this victory.

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

It could be a victory and a loss

00:40:28 --> 00:40:29

again and a victory again.

00:40:30 --> 00:40:32

So that means we shouldn't stop working.

00:40:32 --> 00:40:33

We shouldn't just sit around waiting.

00:40:34 --> 00:40:37

But this is the point, is that Allah

00:40:37 --> 00:40:40

Ta'ala out of His generosity will assuage

00:40:40 --> 00:40:41

the hearts of the mu'minin.

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

It may be us that witness that and

00:40:43 --> 00:40:44

we may not witness that.

00:40:44 --> 00:40:45

And Allah knows best.

00:40:46 --> 00:40:48

But if you ask me from all of

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

what you see in world history, nations that

00:40:50 --> 00:40:54

do what Israel is now doing, they don't

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

last a long time afterwards.

00:40:57 --> 00:40:58

Think about that.

00:40:58 --> 00:41:02

Can someone give me an example of a

00:41:02 --> 00:41:05

nation that's done what Israel has done?

00:41:15 --> 00:41:17

The British, did they?

00:41:17 --> 00:41:20

Yeah, they did terrible things, but they did

00:41:20 --> 00:41:23

terrible things, but they've been reduced back to

00:41:23 --> 00:41:24

their little crummy island.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:29

And now they don't even have that in

00:41:29 --> 00:41:29

their imagination.

00:41:30 --> 00:41:32

The white supremacists there are just having this

00:41:32 --> 00:41:33

imagination.

00:41:33 --> 00:41:36

I guess maybe it's not an imagination, that

00:41:36 --> 00:41:37

it's completely lost to them.

00:41:38 --> 00:41:40

Their little white homeland doesn't exist anymore.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:44

And that's your doing.

00:41:45 --> 00:41:47

You gave out those visas.

00:41:49 --> 00:41:54

It always makes me wonder about Radio Genoa,

00:41:54 --> 00:41:57

which is probably an Israeli bot, and all

00:41:57 --> 00:42:04

these other channels that whine and complain every

00:42:04 --> 00:42:07

day at the number of Asian people in,

00:42:07 --> 00:42:09

South Asian people in England.

00:42:10 --> 00:42:13

I don't think there's came on boats.

00:42:14 --> 00:42:19

There's no border that they're hopping over, right?

00:42:19 --> 00:42:21

There's no border that they're coming through.

00:42:21 --> 00:42:23

These people came on legit visas.

00:42:23 --> 00:42:25

So blame your own politicians and vote them

00:42:25 --> 00:42:26

out, if that's what you don't like.

00:42:43 --> 00:42:47

So I had to say this, get this

00:42:47 --> 00:42:51

off my chest because that's the analysis.

00:42:54 --> 00:42:56

Today we're going to do a longer section

00:42:56 --> 00:43:03

for a longer section for Q&A.

00:43:05 --> 00:43:09

What else did I need to do?

00:43:12 --> 00:43:13

I need, oh, kids fight.

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

We're going to talk about that.

00:43:14 --> 00:43:15

But I needed to do something else.

00:43:17 --> 00:43:20

It was said that people like myself and

00:43:20 --> 00:43:24

other signatories to a certain document that we

00:43:24 --> 00:43:28

put out there was A, using religion to

00:43:28 --> 00:43:32

tell people how to vote and B, supporting

00:43:32 --> 00:43:34

the Green Party, and neither of them is

00:43:34 --> 00:43:34

true.

00:43:35 --> 00:43:41

We can use religion to tell people what

00:43:41 --> 00:43:45

type of person not to vote for, and

00:43:45 --> 00:43:46

then you could calculate who fits the bill.

00:43:48 --> 00:43:51

And that's one of the things we can

00:43:51 --> 00:43:51

do.

00:43:51 --> 00:43:53

We can say, don't vote for someone who

00:43:53 --> 00:43:55

just oversaw genocide.

00:43:55 --> 00:43:56

You can say that.

00:43:58 --> 00:44:01

And number two, there are multiple third parties

00:44:01 --> 00:44:01

out there.

00:44:02 --> 00:44:03

What's the third one?

00:44:03 --> 00:44:08

There's the Green Party, there's West, Cornell West,

00:44:08 --> 00:44:09

there's another third party.

00:44:10 --> 00:44:15

So the conclusion, the analysis that that means

00:44:15 --> 00:44:17

Green Party doesn't stand because there are right

00:44:17 --> 00:44:21

now multiple third parties.

00:44:21 --> 00:44:24

It's not just one, not just two, right?

00:44:25 --> 00:44:25

There are three.

00:44:26 --> 00:44:30

So it doesn't, you can't make an interpretation.

00:44:30 --> 00:44:32

There are libertarians, there's a Green Party, there's

00:44:32 --> 00:44:35

a Constitution Party, there's Cornell West Party.

00:44:35 --> 00:44:38

So you can't interpret that to mean the

00:44:38 --> 00:44:38

Green Party.

00:44:38 --> 00:44:40

So that's just a further clarification.

00:44:40 --> 00:44:42

If the previous video that I made wasn't

00:44:42 --> 00:44:49

clear enough, that we are not only not

00:44:49 --> 00:44:52

endorsing a political party, can't endorse a political

00:44:52 --> 00:44:52

party.

00:44:52 --> 00:44:55

If you're someone like myself and you're working

00:44:55 --> 00:44:58

in a religious nonprofit organization, you're going to

00:44:58 --> 00:45:00

lose your nonprofit status if you do so.

00:45:01 --> 00:45:04

So we go out of our way to

00:45:04 --> 00:45:06

say that we can tell you what the

00:45:06 --> 00:45:09

principles are of our religion, but we can't

00:45:09 --> 00:45:13

tell you endorse any party or a politician

00:45:13 --> 00:45:14

or a person.

00:45:15 --> 00:45:19

All right, with that, there was a talk

00:45:19 --> 00:45:19

the other day.

00:45:20 --> 00:45:21

There was a nice evening.

00:45:22 --> 00:45:22

Omar, were you there?

00:45:23 --> 00:45:27

At Al-Falah, Masjid Al-Falah, where Miftah

00:45:27 --> 00:45:30

Institute came and had a really, really nice

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

event.

00:45:32 --> 00:45:33

They had a lot of speakers.

00:45:33 --> 00:45:36

I was able to meet Sheikh Mohammed Al

00:45:36 --> 00:45:38

-Masmari of Michigan.

00:45:38 --> 00:45:39

Had a great time with him.

00:45:40 --> 00:45:44

There was their Haseeb Noor was there.

00:45:45 --> 00:45:46

I had seen him for a long time.

00:45:46 --> 00:45:47

What's up with the TV?

00:45:48 --> 00:45:49

Let's keep turning on and off.

00:45:51 --> 00:45:53

Haseeb Noor was there, which was always fun

00:45:53 --> 00:45:54

to sit and talk to.

00:45:55 --> 00:45:56

And we had a lot of discussions.

00:45:56 --> 00:45:58

And one of the subjects that Sheikh Yasser

00:45:58 --> 00:46:01

Fahmy was with us to, which is always

00:46:01 --> 00:46:02

a pleasure and a joy to keep his

00:46:02 --> 00:46:03

company.

00:46:04 --> 00:46:06

One of the things that I was supposed

00:46:06 --> 00:46:08

to talk about was the justice of the

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:46:10 --> 00:46:11

And I got to it to talk about

00:46:11 --> 00:46:13

how justice really has to begin in our

00:46:13 --> 00:46:14

homes.

00:46:15 --> 00:46:17

And when we talk about in our homes,

00:46:17 --> 00:46:23

between husband and wife, we have to live

00:46:23 --> 00:46:24

by the Sharia.

00:46:25 --> 00:46:26

There are obligations on the husband.

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

What are the obligations on the husband?

00:46:29 --> 00:46:34

The basic living, the basic livelihood and the

00:46:34 --> 00:46:34

protection.

00:46:35 --> 00:46:37

Those are two obligations that the husband cannot

00:46:37 --> 00:46:38

escape.

00:46:39 --> 00:46:40

He has to fulfill them.

00:46:40 --> 00:46:44

If he's asked to fulfill them, he should

00:46:44 --> 00:46:46

be upset at himself for not having fulfilled

00:46:46 --> 00:46:47

them.

00:46:47 --> 00:46:50

Now, what is not his obligation is, like

00:46:50 --> 00:46:54

we would may say, a zina wa ziyadah,

00:46:55 --> 00:46:57

ornamentation and that which is extra.

00:46:58 --> 00:46:59

If he supplies it, good for him.

00:47:00 --> 00:47:03

If he doesn't supply it, if he doesn't

00:47:03 --> 00:47:07

provide those things, then there's a connection problem,

00:47:08 --> 00:47:10

Omar, between the TV and the computer.

00:47:11 --> 00:47:13

So if he provides those things, good.

00:47:14 --> 00:47:15

If he takes his family on vacation, good

00:47:15 --> 00:47:15

for him.

00:47:16 --> 00:47:19

If he renovates the whole house, good for

00:47:19 --> 00:47:19

him.

00:47:19 --> 00:47:22

But if he doesn't, then he still fulfilled

00:47:22 --> 00:47:22

his obligation.

00:47:23 --> 00:47:23

She may be unhappy.

00:47:24 --> 00:47:25

That's different.

00:47:25 --> 00:47:28

Being unhappy is different from not fulfilling your

00:47:28 --> 00:47:28

obligation.

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

When you don't fulfill your obligations, God is

00:47:30 --> 00:47:31

against you.

00:47:33 --> 00:47:36

If you just make someone unhappy, then that

00:47:36 --> 00:47:38

person is going to be against, your wife

00:47:38 --> 00:47:40

will be against you and that's not going

00:47:40 --> 00:47:41

to be nice either, right?

00:47:41 --> 00:47:44

So keep in mind, when we deal with

00:47:44 --> 00:47:45

Allah, we don't only ask him for the

00:47:45 --> 00:47:46

obligations.

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

Do we ever say, oh Allah, only give

00:47:48 --> 00:47:50

me air, only give me water, only give

00:47:50 --> 00:47:54

me enough red meat to survive, only give

00:47:54 --> 00:47:55

me enough protein to survive.

00:47:55 --> 00:47:57

If Allah treated you with the minimum, you

00:47:57 --> 00:47:58

wouldn't be a happy person.

00:47:59 --> 00:48:01

So likewise, it's not expected or it is

00:48:01 --> 00:48:04

expected that you provide a little bit more

00:48:04 --> 00:48:08

than the bare minimum and the bare necessities,

00:48:08 --> 00:48:09

as Baloo would put it.

00:48:11 --> 00:48:15

So there are obligations, there's limits to the

00:48:15 --> 00:48:18

obligations, but that doesn't mean that it's in

00:48:18 --> 00:48:21

any way reasonable to stop at the bare

00:48:21 --> 00:48:22

bone necessities.

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

Likewise, what your wife owes you is very

00:48:24 --> 00:48:25

little too.

00:48:26 --> 00:48:31

She owes you physical intimacy and to obey

00:48:31 --> 00:48:33

you when she leaves the house.

00:48:33 --> 00:48:36

In other words, if your job is to

00:48:36 --> 00:48:39

protect her, then it's your right to say,

00:48:39 --> 00:48:40

don't go here, don't go here, don't go

00:48:40 --> 00:48:41

here.

00:48:41 --> 00:48:44

I can't protect you here, right?

00:48:44 --> 00:48:45

So don't go there.

00:48:45 --> 00:48:46

So he has that right in Islam.

00:48:47 --> 00:48:49

If she was to say, okay, I'm not

00:48:49 --> 00:48:51

going to leave the house unless I got

00:48:51 --> 00:48:53

your green light from you and we talk

00:48:53 --> 00:48:53

about it.

00:48:54 --> 00:48:56

I'm not going to spend any of your

00:48:56 --> 00:48:59

money except for the bare necessities and anytime

00:48:59 --> 00:49:00

that you want to be intimate, I'll be

00:49:00 --> 00:49:01

there for you.

00:49:02 --> 00:49:04

Is that all you want her to do?

00:49:04 --> 00:49:06

Because if that's all she does, you're not

00:49:06 --> 00:49:07

going to be happy.

00:49:07 --> 00:49:08

That means she doesn't have to smile.

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

She doesn't have to do anything in the

00:49:11 --> 00:49:11

house.

00:49:12 --> 00:49:14

She could just sleep all day, right?

00:49:14 --> 00:49:16

And she's done her obligation.

00:49:16 --> 00:49:19

So neither side want the bare necessity.

00:49:19 --> 00:49:20

We don't want from Allah Ta'ala the

00:49:20 --> 00:49:21

bare necessity.

00:49:22 --> 00:49:26

So we need to understand there are limits,

00:49:26 --> 00:49:30

but then there are commonsensical expectations and as

00:49:30 --> 00:49:31

you want to be treated, you should treat

00:49:31 --> 00:49:32

others.

00:49:32 --> 00:49:34

You want to be treated from Allah Ta

00:49:34 --> 00:49:36

'ala with extra, give extra to his creation.

00:49:36 --> 00:49:39

And that's the best way to look at

00:49:39 --> 00:49:40

things.

00:49:40 --> 00:49:48

Secondly, between kids, I think justice is extremely,

00:49:48 --> 00:49:50

extremely important between kids.

00:49:52 --> 00:49:57

Between kids is a great opportunity to have

00:49:57 --> 00:50:00

injustice or a great area where injustice occurs.

00:50:02 --> 00:50:06

Probably the biggest injustice is that is between

00:50:06 --> 00:50:06

girls and boys.

00:50:07 --> 00:50:09

Like girls tend to be, there's so much

00:50:09 --> 00:50:12

is demanded of them because they accept the

00:50:12 --> 00:50:12

orders.

00:50:12 --> 00:50:14

They don't fight back.

00:50:14 --> 00:50:17

Boys may resist a lot more, so it's

00:50:17 --> 00:50:18

harder to deal with.

00:50:19 --> 00:50:23

Between kids, every parent is a judge.

00:50:24 --> 00:50:27

And this is really important to make sure

00:50:27 --> 00:50:27

you judge fairly.

00:50:28 --> 00:50:31

Now when you judge to get you a

00:50:31 --> 00:50:37

very, very, very basic structure of judgment and

00:50:37 --> 00:50:38

how to be a judge.

00:50:40 --> 00:50:44

The first sayyidul adillah, first we discussed the

00:50:44 --> 00:50:44

evidences.

00:50:45 --> 00:50:46

What is the chief evidence?

00:50:47 --> 00:50:50

And by the way, all this is metaphoric

00:50:50 --> 00:50:54

or allegoric justice in the sense that half

00:50:54 --> 00:50:55

of this could never happen.

00:50:55 --> 00:50:58

It could never happen that a parent will

00:50:58 --> 00:51:02

be the actual judge and his child is

00:51:02 --> 00:51:03

one of the plaintiff or the defendant.

00:51:03 --> 00:51:04

That could never happen.

00:51:04 --> 00:51:06

But within the households, you have to be

00:51:06 --> 00:51:07

a judge.

00:51:07 --> 00:51:09

And the first piece of evidence is the

00:51:09 --> 00:51:09

admission.

00:51:10 --> 00:51:14

And so when the child comes and makes

00:51:14 --> 00:51:17

a claim, so and so took my book.

00:51:19 --> 00:51:21

All right, so and so took your book.

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

I need you to understand something.

00:51:24 --> 00:51:28

As much as I love you, I cannot

00:51:28 --> 00:51:32

make a statement against your sibling just because

00:51:32 --> 00:51:33

you told me.

00:51:33 --> 00:51:36

I can only judge on what you can

00:51:36 --> 00:51:36

prove.

00:51:37 --> 00:51:39

And so you have to understand that telling,

00:51:39 --> 00:51:42

when you tell, doesn't mean it's an accepted

00:51:42 --> 00:51:42

truth.

00:51:43 --> 00:51:46

I can only make a judgment based upon

00:51:46 --> 00:51:48

what can be proven.

00:51:48 --> 00:51:50

And I've told my kids this, and I

00:51:50 --> 00:51:53

recommend you all do too, that what the

00:51:53 --> 00:51:57

nature of a complaint and a judgment to

00:51:57 --> 00:51:58

be passed by the parent.

00:51:59 --> 00:52:01

So nobody should ever use, if you don't

00:52:01 --> 00:52:02

believe me, you don't love me.

00:52:03 --> 00:52:04

That's ridiculous.

00:52:06 --> 00:52:09

Because it's about what you can prove happens.

00:52:09 --> 00:52:10

Are there witnesses?

00:52:11 --> 00:52:14

Again, this is a metaphoric justice because in

00:52:14 --> 00:52:16

court, your siblings and your rivals cannot be

00:52:16 --> 00:52:17

witnesses.

00:52:18 --> 00:52:19

Grabbing to our beautiful light here.

00:52:23 --> 00:52:25

What's going on with our power here?

00:52:27 --> 00:52:28

Yeah, I didn't even notice it turned off

00:52:28 --> 00:52:29

at all.

00:52:33 --> 00:52:37

Maybe there's a cord or something back there

00:52:37 --> 00:52:39

that got touched or something like that.

00:52:40 --> 00:52:43

In any event, back to the subject.

00:52:44 --> 00:52:49

You would never actually be calling witnesses from

00:52:49 --> 00:52:52

among siblings, but this is metaphoric justice in

00:52:52 --> 00:52:52

the house.

00:52:53 --> 00:52:55

So without witnesses, there's not much I can

00:52:55 --> 00:52:55

do for you.

00:52:57 --> 00:52:58

But I can advise you.

00:52:59 --> 00:53:00

You got it.

00:53:00 --> 00:53:00

Good.

00:53:01 --> 00:53:02

You got it.

00:53:04 --> 00:53:05

Let's go green.

00:53:06 --> 00:53:11

What we can do, however, is I can

00:53:11 --> 00:53:11

advise you.

00:53:12 --> 00:53:14

I don't know what happened with your book.

00:53:15 --> 00:53:16

I don't know who took it.

00:53:16 --> 00:53:19

I can't say so-and-so's denying.

00:53:19 --> 00:53:22

So-and-so is making the allegation.

00:53:22 --> 00:53:23

There's no evidence.

00:53:24 --> 00:53:25

So I can advise you.

00:53:25 --> 00:53:26

And here we have from the prophet, peace

00:53:26 --> 00:53:29

be upon him, situations like that, where someone

00:53:29 --> 00:53:29

does something.

00:53:30 --> 00:53:30

There's no case.

00:53:31 --> 00:53:33

The victim comes to the prophet, peace be

00:53:33 --> 00:53:33

upon him.

00:53:33 --> 00:53:34

There's no case.

00:53:35 --> 00:53:36

But he's upset.

00:53:36 --> 00:53:37

So he gives advice.

00:53:37 --> 00:53:42

That's the difference in these families.

00:53:43 --> 00:53:44

You either have proof or you don't.

00:53:45 --> 00:53:47

Now, if there's an admission, then there has

00:53:47 --> 00:53:47

to be justice.

00:53:48 --> 00:53:48

And what's the justice?

00:53:50 --> 00:53:52

If it's physical, then it's qisas.

00:53:54 --> 00:53:58

Qisas, of course, what did he do?

00:53:58 --> 00:53:59

He hit me with a towel.

00:54:00 --> 00:54:01

Are you going to say now, all right,

00:54:01 --> 00:54:02

you hit him with the towel?

00:54:02 --> 00:54:05

Yes, you could, if it's not really serious,

00:54:05 --> 00:54:07

if it's just childish stuff.

00:54:08 --> 00:54:09

No harm in that.

00:54:12 --> 00:54:13

That's a funny picture.

00:54:13 --> 00:54:14

That's a good one, actually.

00:54:14 --> 00:54:14

I like that.

00:54:15 --> 00:54:16

Actually, it makes me happy.

00:54:17 --> 00:54:19

Hey, show the audience what that picture is.

00:54:19 --> 00:54:21

I don't know about you guys, but that

00:54:21 --> 00:54:21

picture makes me happy.

00:54:22 --> 00:54:24

Look how cute that picture is.

00:54:26 --> 00:54:29

It gives you little fantasy vibes, doesn't it?

00:54:30 --> 00:54:31

Like little Narnia.

00:54:34 --> 00:54:37

So they have to establish justice in their

00:54:37 --> 00:54:38

house between their children.

00:54:39 --> 00:54:41

How else is justice established?

00:54:42 --> 00:54:46

Justice is established through the distribution of chores.

00:54:48 --> 00:54:51

That's a big unfairness that occurs between kids.

00:54:52 --> 00:54:54

One kid is doing all the chores.

00:54:54 --> 00:54:56

No, there needs to be systems.

00:54:56 --> 00:54:58

Once you have more than two kids, pretty

00:54:58 --> 00:55:02

much, even maybe with two kids, there has

00:55:02 --> 00:55:07

to be a clear system of justice with

00:55:07 --> 00:55:07

the chores.

00:55:09 --> 00:55:12

There needs to be days.

00:55:13 --> 00:55:15

Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday are you.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:18

Thursday, Friday, Saturday is me.

00:55:19 --> 00:55:20

Then Sunday, we alternate.

00:55:22 --> 00:55:25

First and third, Sunday is you.

00:55:25 --> 00:55:26

Second and fourth is me.

00:55:27 --> 00:55:30

So any chore that happens or any privilege

00:55:30 --> 00:55:32

that happens on that day, you get it

00:55:32 --> 00:55:33

if it's your day.

00:55:33 --> 00:55:35

So you get the privileges and you get

00:55:35 --> 00:55:35

the chores.

00:55:36 --> 00:55:37

So who sits up front?

00:55:37 --> 00:55:38

Whoever's day it is.

00:55:39 --> 00:55:42

Who has to clean up after a dinner?

00:55:42 --> 00:55:43

Whoever's day it is.

00:55:43 --> 00:55:44

Like that.

00:55:45 --> 00:55:47

So there needs to be justice in distributing

00:55:47 --> 00:55:48

the chores.

00:55:48 --> 00:55:54

Now what about situations where a person, there's

00:55:54 --> 00:55:57

a type of privilege or a trip.

00:55:58 --> 00:55:59

How do we decide that?

00:55:59 --> 00:56:02

So that also, you can decide that by

00:56:02 --> 00:56:03

order.

00:56:04 --> 00:56:05

So the oldest one will get the first

00:56:05 --> 00:56:08

chance, the youngest one and so on.

00:56:09 --> 00:56:09

Or by lottery.

00:56:10 --> 00:56:14

The Prophet ﷺ used lottery, meaning just chance.

00:56:14 --> 00:56:15

Put your names in a hat and we'll

00:56:15 --> 00:56:16

just pick one out.

00:56:18 --> 00:56:19

Put your names in a hat, we'll pick

00:56:19 --> 00:56:22

one out and that person gets to go

00:56:22 --> 00:56:22

first.

00:56:23 --> 00:56:24

And then the next one, we flip-flop

00:56:24 --> 00:56:25

back and forth.

00:56:26 --> 00:56:29

So the first layer is the rules of

00:56:29 --> 00:56:29

the Sharia.

00:56:30 --> 00:56:33

The second layer is going to be learning

00:56:33 --> 00:56:35

how justice is established.

00:56:36 --> 00:56:38

How do we establish justice even just in

00:56:38 --> 00:56:39

a home?

00:56:40 --> 00:56:41

The greatest of justice is going to be

00:56:41 --> 00:56:42

the Sharia.

00:56:42 --> 00:56:46

Haram should not be allowed to or should

00:56:46 --> 00:56:48

not be allowed in, should not be anywhere.

00:56:49 --> 00:56:51

And the Salah has to come first in

00:56:51 --> 00:56:51

a household.

00:56:51 --> 00:56:54

And once you have those homes where there's

00:56:54 --> 00:56:57

Sharia and there's justice, you will have a

00:56:57 --> 00:56:58

small heaven in your home.

00:56:59 --> 00:57:00

It will be a small paradise.

00:57:01 --> 00:57:03

Then you give that, you just maximize that

00:57:03 --> 00:57:03

now.

00:57:04 --> 00:57:07

In anything you run, you operate with these

00:57:07 --> 00:57:09

principles.

00:57:12 --> 00:57:16

So that's just like basic fundamentals of how

00:57:16 --> 00:57:19

to have established fairness and justice in a

00:57:19 --> 00:57:19

house.

00:57:21 --> 00:57:23

All right, let's wrap up with that and

00:57:23 --> 00:57:25

let's go to your Q&A right now.

00:57:25 --> 00:57:27

If you have put your Q&A up,

00:57:28 --> 00:57:30

put the question again so I don't have

00:57:30 --> 00:57:31

to scroll back up.

00:57:37 --> 00:57:38

All right, go.

00:57:42 --> 00:57:44

That's like, look like Legos.

00:57:46 --> 00:57:50

I like the other one more, but it's

00:57:50 --> 00:57:50

up to you.

00:57:51 --> 00:57:52

I like this one more.

00:57:53 --> 00:57:53

Yeah.

00:57:54 --> 00:57:55

All right, your Q&A.

00:57:56 --> 00:57:58

Please do something on Abdul Qadir al-Jailani.

00:57:59 --> 00:57:59

We will do, inshallah.

00:58:00 --> 00:58:06

I did actually do one, but I'll do

00:58:06 --> 00:58:07

another one.

00:58:07 --> 00:58:09

Sayyidina Imam Abdul Qadir al-Jailani.

00:58:10 --> 00:58:14

Yeah, we need to continue that because we

00:58:14 --> 00:58:15

used to have four days a week.

00:58:15 --> 00:58:16

We now have three days a week.

00:58:17 --> 00:58:18

Yeah, we could do it Thursdays.

00:58:19 --> 00:58:21

Now, some people make fun of the saying,

00:58:22 --> 00:58:24

Abdul Qadir al-Jailani's foot is on every

00:58:24 --> 00:58:24

wali.

00:58:25 --> 00:58:26

Sorry, is on the neck of every wali.

00:58:27 --> 00:58:28

Where did that saying come from?

00:58:28 --> 00:58:30

You hear it all the time, right?

00:58:30 --> 00:58:32

His foot is on the neck of every

00:58:32 --> 00:58:33

wali.

00:58:33 --> 00:58:37

So this comes when there was a senior

00:58:37 --> 00:58:40

man of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, meaning

00:58:40 --> 00:58:42

an elder, and he was at the Rawdah.

00:58:47 --> 00:58:48

Shaykh Ahmed al-Rifa'i.

00:58:49 --> 00:58:50

I heard it once from Shaykh Ahmed al

00:58:50 --> 00:58:52

-Rifa'i and heard it once from Sayyid

00:58:52 --> 00:58:52

Ahmed al-Badawi.

00:58:53 --> 00:58:54

So I don't know which one it is.

00:58:54 --> 00:58:56

So that's why I don't want to quote.

00:58:56 --> 00:58:57

So either one or the other.

00:58:58 --> 00:59:00

It's either Ahmed al-Rifa'i or Ahmed

00:59:00 --> 00:59:00

al-Badawi.

00:59:00 --> 00:59:03

Ahmed al-Badawi is actually Moroccan, and he

00:59:03 --> 00:59:06

ended up moving to Egypt.

00:59:07 --> 00:59:09

And Ahmed al-Rifa'i is from Iraq.

00:59:10 --> 00:59:14

In any event, they were older, and they

00:59:14 --> 00:59:17

were at a massive gathering at the Rawdah

00:59:18 --> 00:59:20

al-Sharifah in Madinah al-Murawarah in front

00:59:20 --> 00:59:21

of the grave of the Prophet ﷺ.

00:59:22 --> 00:59:24

I don't want to distract from the story,

00:59:24 --> 00:59:25

but a karamah occurred.

00:59:25 --> 00:59:29

I'm not going to say what the karamah

00:59:29 --> 00:59:29

occurred.

00:59:29 --> 00:59:34

A major karamah occurred to the Shaykh in

00:59:34 --> 00:59:35

the presence of everyone there.

00:59:37 --> 00:59:39

Amongst those who were there was a very

00:59:39 --> 00:59:41

young Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani.

00:59:41 --> 00:59:42

He was young.

00:59:45 --> 00:59:49

Thereupon, the Shaykh, seeing that this karamah has

00:59:49 --> 00:59:53

elevated him in the eyes of everybody, stood

00:59:53 --> 00:59:55

at the door of Bab al-Salam, and

00:59:55 --> 00:59:57

he said, I will not permit anyone to

00:59:57 --> 01:00:00

exit unless they step over my head.

01:00:01 --> 01:00:04

This was physically, he's physically humbling himself.

01:00:05 --> 01:00:09

He's physically humbling himself by making sure everybody

01:00:09 --> 01:00:10

steps over his head.

01:00:12 --> 01:00:14

And at first, people refused, but he insisted.

01:00:14 --> 01:00:17

He said, he's a alim and a Rabbani,

01:00:17 --> 01:00:19

and he knows even the karamah from Allah

01:00:19 --> 01:00:23

ﷻ, they could boost a person's nafs.

01:00:23 --> 01:00:25

But he wouldn't have arrived at that station

01:00:25 --> 01:00:26

unless he knew how to handle the nafs,

01:00:27 --> 01:00:28

like a snake.

01:00:28 --> 01:00:29

How do you handle a snake?

01:00:29 --> 01:00:30

That's what the nafs is like.

01:00:31 --> 01:00:34

So he then put his head, bowed his

01:00:34 --> 01:00:38

head in such a low way that everyone

01:00:38 --> 01:00:42

had to step over his neck to get

01:00:42 --> 01:00:43

out of the masjid.

01:00:43 --> 01:00:47

Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani saw this and

01:00:47 --> 01:00:48

he took action.

01:00:49 --> 01:00:50

What action did he take?

01:00:50 --> 01:00:52

He put his neck above the Shaykh's neck,

01:00:52 --> 01:00:55

so that in fact everyone was stepping over

01:00:55 --> 01:01:00

his neck, not the elder Shaykh's neck, which

01:01:00 --> 01:01:02

we said was either Sidi Ahmed al-Rifa

01:01:02 --> 01:01:03

'i or Sidi Ahmed al-Badawi, can't remember

01:01:03 --> 01:01:04

which one it was.

01:01:06 --> 01:01:10

And when the Shaykh then finished, when everyone

01:01:10 --> 01:01:12

had left, and he noticed that this is

01:01:12 --> 01:01:17

what Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani did, that's

01:01:17 --> 01:01:22

when he declared, like allegorically, majazan, hyperbole.

01:01:23 --> 01:01:25

Your foot is on the neck of everybody.

01:01:27 --> 01:01:30

And that you humbled yourself.

01:01:30 --> 01:01:36

You tried to decrease from this by doing

01:01:36 --> 01:01:39

that, by putting your neck over my neck.

01:01:39 --> 01:01:41

That's how the story goes.

01:01:41 --> 01:01:43

And that story, I believe, is told in

01:01:43 --> 01:01:44

different reliable books.

01:01:44 --> 01:01:46

I don't want to quote one, but it

01:01:46 --> 01:01:48

is told in some books that are pretty

01:01:48 --> 01:01:49

much relied upon.

01:01:50 --> 01:01:52

That's where the saying comes that Abd al

01:01:52 --> 01:01:56

-Qadir al-Jailani's foot is on the foot,

01:01:57 --> 01:01:58

on the neck of everybody.

01:01:59 --> 01:02:04

It's hyperbole and majaz that he's so humble,

01:02:05 --> 01:02:09

every man of Allah must honor this person.

01:02:10 --> 01:02:12

And is there anyone who's not going to

01:02:12 --> 01:02:12

honor him?

01:02:13 --> 01:02:17

Is there any person in Ahlus Sunnah that

01:02:17 --> 01:02:18

doesn't honor Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani?

01:02:19 --> 01:02:20

And when people do have a bad opinion

01:02:20 --> 01:02:23

of Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani, it's because

01:02:23 --> 01:02:25

of what some ghulats may have said about

01:02:25 --> 01:02:27

him, or done, or behaved in a certain

01:02:27 --> 01:02:27

way.

01:02:28 --> 01:02:29

And as a result of that, people think

01:02:29 --> 01:02:33

that he is some misguided or stray type

01:02:33 --> 01:02:34

of Sufi.

01:02:36 --> 01:02:39

But if you actually read a Zahabi's biography

01:02:39 --> 01:02:42

of him, and you read anyone else's biography

01:02:42 --> 01:02:44

of him, you recognize that he was somebody

01:02:44 --> 01:02:49

that was far from any of those issues

01:02:49 --> 01:02:57

that could incur inqar, could incur condemnation.

01:02:57 --> 01:03:02

You won't find a single issue that Abd

01:03:02 --> 01:03:05

al-Qadir al-Jailani does that would bring

01:03:05 --> 01:03:05

about inqar.

01:03:06 --> 01:03:07

And the only thing people would have an

01:03:07 --> 01:03:09

issue is, when they read about the karamat

01:03:09 --> 01:03:11

of Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani, sometimes they

01:03:11 --> 01:03:12

have trouble believing them.

01:03:15 --> 01:03:16

Because he had so many, and the bulk

01:03:16 --> 01:03:18

of his karamat was being able to know

01:03:18 --> 01:03:19

what people were thinking.

01:03:21 --> 01:03:22

And hence, in the middle of his durus,

01:03:22 --> 01:03:24

sometimes he would look at a student and

01:03:24 --> 01:03:29

say a word that would be the answer

01:03:29 --> 01:03:31

to that what that student was looking for.

01:03:32 --> 01:03:34

And sometimes people would have doubts about him,

01:03:35 --> 01:03:36

and he would humble them.

01:03:37 --> 01:03:39

There's one story of Sayyidna Abd al-Qadir

01:03:39 --> 01:03:41

al-Jailani, where a student came and he

01:03:41 --> 01:03:44

said, I heard so much about Jailani, and

01:03:44 --> 01:03:45

I had another class to go to.

01:03:45 --> 01:03:47

But I said, let me go and attend

01:03:47 --> 01:03:47

to Jailani.

01:03:48 --> 01:03:51

And al-Jailani just was telling very basic

01:03:51 --> 01:03:53

stories and very basic teachings.

01:03:55 --> 01:03:58

And he said something to the effect of,

01:03:59 --> 01:04:00

or he thought something in his mind to

01:04:00 --> 01:04:02

the effect of, I should have went to

01:04:02 --> 01:04:02

the other class.

01:04:05 --> 01:04:06

Then he said, Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al

01:04:06 --> 01:04:09

-Jailani began changing his lecture, and he began

01:04:09 --> 01:04:12

speaking about exactly what I would have learned

01:04:12 --> 01:04:13

in that other class.

01:04:16 --> 01:04:17

SubhanAllah.

01:04:17 --> 01:04:20

So, where can you read those?

01:04:20 --> 01:04:23

Al-Dhahabi, plus the Ramadan series this year

01:04:23 --> 01:04:24

will be about stories of the Awliya.

01:04:24 --> 01:04:26

Al-Wilaya wa-l-Awliya, that's what the

01:04:26 --> 01:04:27

Ramadan series will be about.

01:04:28 --> 01:04:29

Al-Wilaya wa-l-Awliya, and there will

01:04:29 --> 01:04:33

be a large section on the Karamat of

01:04:33 --> 01:04:34

Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani.

01:04:35 --> 01:04:37

The manhaj of Abd al-Qadir al-Jailani

01:04:37 --> 01:04:41

was his sessions, his Dawah sessions.

01:04:42 --> 01:04:46

Besides his youth, in which not only did

01:04:46 --> 01:04:51

he study in Baghdad, but he also traveled

01:04:51 --> 01:04:54

the earth as an ascetic.

01:04:55 --> 01:04:57

He left the city and he lived a

01:04:57 --> 01:05:00

simple life just doing dhikr day in and

01:05:00 --> 01:05:00

day out.

01:05:01 --> 01:05:02

So much dhikr did he do.

01:05:02 --> 01:05:04

They say he did the dhikr of 25

01:05:04 --> 01:05:05

years in four years.

01:05:06 --> 01:05:07

They say that he did the ibadah that

01:05:07 --> 01:05:09

would take a regular person 25 years to

01:05:09 --> 01:05:09

do.

01:05:10 --> 01:05:12

He did it in four years, and that's

01:05:12 --> 01:05:13

how he became so purified.

01:05:15 --> 01:05:17

Before this, when he was a young student,

01:05:18 --> 01:05:23

he was in his Shaykh's gathering, and his

01:05:23 --> 01:05:26

Shaykh used to always keep him close, but

01:05:26 --> 01:05:27

tell him to do things.

01:05:28 --> 01:05:29

He would say, go do this, go do

01:05:29 --> 01:05:29

that.

01:05:31 --> 01:05:34

And any time that he saw that he

01:05:34 --> 01:05:36

was maybe getting comfortable or something, he would

01:05:36 --> 01:05:37

say something to humble him.

01:05:40 --> 01:05:43

So one day he was sitting and the

01:05:43 --> 01:05:45

other students were sitting, and the other students

01:05:45 --> 01:05:50

bossed him around the same way the Shaykh

01:05:50 --> 01:05:51

bossed him around.

01:05:53 --> 01:05:55

The Shaykh became so upset.

01:05:56 --> 01:05:58

He said, I'm only doing this to him

01:05:58 --> 01:06:00

because he's going to inherit this position.

01:06:04 --> 01:06:06

Between you and him is a huge difference.

01:06:06 --> 01:06:07

I could never do to him what I

01:06:07 --> 01:06:09

do to you, or do to you what

01:06:09 --> 01:06:09

I do to him.

01:06:10 --> 01:06:11

Your nafs wouldn't take it.

01:06:12 --> 01:06:13

I am only doing that to him because

01:06:13 --> 01:06:15

he is going to inherit this position.

01:06:15 --> 01:06:18

And he did in fact inherit the school,

01:06:18 --> 01:06:20

the Hanbali school, and he became the rector

01:06:20 --> 01:06:21

of that school.

01:06:22 --> 01:06:25

And he married, and he had a big

01:06:25 --> 01:06:27

family, but he had a room in the

01:06:27 --> 01:06:28

school as well, and he spent most of

01:06:28 --> 01:06:29

the time in the school, and he'd only

01:06:29 --> 01:06:30

go to his family for needs.

01:06:32 --> 01:06:34

He wouldn't spend most of the time at

01:06:34 --> 01:06:34

home.

01:06:34 --> 01:06:35

He spent most of the time in the

01:06:35 --> 01:06:35

school.

01:06:36 --> 01:06:39

And the school had a big courtyard, and

01:06:39 --> 01:06:42

he would start giving speeches for everybody in

01:06:42 --> 01:06:44

those courtyards, not just classes.

01:06:45 --> 01:06:46

He would give talks in those courtyards.

01:06:47 --> 01:06:50

And that courtyard began to fill up and

01:06:50 --> 01:06:54

overflow until it reached the point that his

01:06:54 --> 01:06:58

fame was such that any governor who took

01:06:58 --> 01:07:00

a position, anyone, they had to come and

01:07:00 --> 01:07:03

visit Abdul Qadir first.

01:07:04 --> 01:07:05

They all came to him.

01:07:06 --> 01:07:06

He never went to them.

01:07:09 --> 01:07:14

Shortly before his death, Ibn Qudamah came and

01:07:14 --> 01:07:15

took some knowledge from him.

01:07:16 --> 01:07:19

I don't think from a Zahabi, it's that

01:07:19 --> 01:07:22

Ibn Qudamah spent a long time with him.

01:07:22 --> 01:07:22

No.

01:07:23 --> 01:07:24

I think he spent a short time with

01:07:24 --> 01:07:24

him.

01:07:25 --> 01:07:27

But he was one of his last students.

01:07:28 --> 01:07:31

There is a book out that the army

01:07:31 --> 01:07:35

of Salah al-Din al-Ayubi, the way

01:07:35 --> 01:07:37

that they were raised, the way that they

01:07:37 --> 01:07:40

were trained, their Isnad goes back to two

01:07:40 --> 01:07:40

people.

01:07:41 --> 01:07:43

Haseeb Noor, Sheikh Haseeb Noor is the one

01:07:43 --> 01:07:44

who told me about this.

01:07:45 --> 01:07:46

Sheikh Haseeb Noor, if you don't know him,

01:07:46 --> 01:07:47

he's from Medina.

01:07:47 --> 01:07:50

He's originally from Virginia, lives in Medina, and

01:07:50 --> 01:07:51

he's the Imam in San Diego now too.

01:07:54 --> 01:07:56

Beautiful masjid there in a beautiful city.

01:07:58 --> 01:08:00

He's the one who told me about the

01:08:00 --> 01:08:02

army of Salah al-Din al-Ayubi, their

01:08:02 --> 01:08:04

Isnad goes back to two people, Al-Ghazali

01:08:04 --> 01:08:05

and Al-Jailani.

01:08:06 --> 01:08:10

Al-Ghazali came first, and on the tail

01:08:10 --> 01:08:11

of Al-Ghazali came Al-Jailani.

01:08:13 --> 01:08:15

In both of their times, the crusaders had

01:08:15 --> 01:08:20

taken Jerusalem, Al-Quds.

01:08:22 --> 01:08:28

But through their students was formed, and their

01:08:28 --> 01:08:30

students and grand students, if there's such a

01:08:30 --> 01:08:36

word, formed the Tarbiyah of the soldiers that

01:08:36 --> 01:08:38

became the army of Salah al-Din.

01:08:40 --> 01:08:41

Noor al-Din first, then Salah al-Din.

01:08:43 --> 01:08:45

And there's an entire book on this, I

01:08:45 --> 01:08:46

didn't get it, I want to get it,

01:08:46 --> 01:08:47

I want to be able to translate it,

01:08:48 --> 01:08:51

or at least see if somebody can translate

01:08:51 --> 01:08:54

parts of that to show that that was

01:08:54 --> 01:08:54

their Tarbiyah.

01:08:55 --> 01:08:57

Al-ilm, was suluk.

01:08:58 --> 01:09:01

Knowledge, as they took from Al-Ghazali, and

01:09:01 --> 01:09:01

al-suluk.

01:09:02 --> 01:09:06

The Aqidah Salahiyah is essentially gleaned from Al

01:09:06 --> 01:09:08

-Ghazali and those before him.

01:09:09 --> 01:09:11

The Aqidah that Salah al-Din al-Ayubi

01:09:11 --> 01:09:12

made everybody study.

01:09:13 --> 01:09:17

And the Ibadah, the inspiration, the himmah, it

01:09:17 --> 01:09:20

derived from the heart of Abdul Qadir al

01:09:20 --> 01:09:20

-Jailani.

01:09:21 --> 01:09:24

In other words, from his example, from his

01:09:24 --> 01:09:24

teaching.

01:09:30 --> 01:09:32

Let's go to the questions now.

01:09:33 --> 01:09:36

Abdul Hadi says, purification in the grave and

01:09:36 --> 01:09:38

the afterlife, is it only for major sins

01:09:38 --> 01:09:40

or major and minor?

01:09:40 --> 01:09:41

Major and minor.

01:09:41 --> 01:09:42

What's the difference?

01:09:43 --> 01:09:45

Minor sins can be purified without intention.

01:09:46 --> 01:09:49

So if I committed a minor sin, such

01:09:49 --> 01:09:52

as I looked at haram with my eye,

01:09:54 --> 01:09:55

if I do a lot of it, it

01:09:55 --> 01:09:57

can amount to a major sin.

01:09:58 --> 01:09:59

Like a lot of small debt can become

01:09:59 --> 01:10:00

a big debt.

01:10:00 --> 01:10:03

But just one look like that is a

01:10:03 --> 01:10:03

minor sin.

01:10:04 --> 01:10:06

Or if I curse somebody, that's a minor

01:10:06 --> 01:10:06

sin.

01:10:07 --> 01:10:09

Like something happened and I cursed.

01:10:10 --> 01:10:12

Not somebody, but because that could become a

01:10:12 --> 01:10:13

major sin.

01:10:15 --> 01:10:17

But I'm in my car, someone swerves and

01:10:17 --> 01:10:18

I cursed.

01:10:18 --> 01:10:20

It's a minor sin of the tongue.

01:10:22 --> 01:10:23

Just my making will do.

01:10:24 --> 01:10:26

Clean out my mouth, clean my eyes, I've

01:10:26 --> 01:10:28

wiped away those sins, even without intending it.

01:10:29 --> 01:10:31

So the minor sin, it gets purified without

01:10:31 --> 01:10:32

intention.

01:10:33 --> 01:10:34

The minor sin is one of those things

01:10:34 --> 01:10:38

that people could eventually do so much without

01:10:38 --> 01:10:39

even realizing it.

01:10:39 --> 01:10:41

So intent is not needed in that.

01:10:42 --> 01:10:44

And that's all the things, for example, that

01:10:44 --> 01:10:47

the Quran and the Sunnah forbid in general.

01:10:48 --> 01:10:50

In general, Allah says, lower the gaze.

01:10:50 --> 01:10:53

In general, Allah tells us, don't be vulgar

01:10:53 --> 01:10:54

with your mouth.

01:10:55 --> 01:10:56

The Prophet, peace be upon him, was not

01:10:56 --> 01:10:57

vulgar.

01:10:57 --> 01:10:58

Quran says, say the good.

01:10:59 --> 01:11:00

Things like that.

01:11:00 --> 01:11:00

It's general.

01:11:01 --> 01:11:03

So the sin in that case is a

01:11:03 --> 01:11:04

minor sin.

01:11:04 --> 01:11:07

Now, if I did a major sin, what

01:11:07 --> 01:11:10

purifies a major sin is, there's a difference

01:11:10 --> 01:11:11

between forgiveness and purification.

01:11:12 --> 01:11:16

The forgiveness is earned easier than the purification.

01:11:16 --> 01:11:21

The forgiveness would be, for example, that I

01:11:21 --> 01:11:24

must, number one, intend forgiveness for that sin.

01:11:25 --> 01:11:28

I have to specifically say, I seek forgiveness

01:11:28 --> 01:11:29

from this sin.

01:11:30 --> 01:11:31

And then I have to stop doing it,

01:11:31 --> 01:11:32

I have to regret it, and I have

01:11:32 --> 01:11:34

to try never to do it again.

01:11:34 --> 01:11:35

That's the forgiveness.

01:11:36 --> 01:11:38

Now the purification, now I'm going to need

01:11:38 --> 01:11:38

to do good deeds.

01:11:39 --> 01:11:40

I'm going to need to do a bad,

01:11:40 --> 01:11:41

I'm going to need to do a lot

01:11:41 --> 01:11:45

of good things instead of that.

01:11:46 --> 01:11:47

So that's how you purify.

01:11:47 --> 01:11:49

That's why we see Jum'ah to Jum

01:11:49 --> 01:11:50

'ah is a Kafara.

01:11:50 --> 01:11:53

Salah, like Adhan to Adhan is a Kafara.

01:11:53 --> 01:11:55

Ramadan to Ramadan is a Kafara.

01:11:55 --> 01:11:56

Umrah to Umrah is a Kafara.

01:11:56 --> 01:11:56

Why?

01:11:57 --> 01:11:59

Because it's not the forgiveness only that you're

01:11:59 --> 01:12:02

earning, it's the purifying, the effect of the

01:12:02 --> 01:12:02

sin.

01:12:02 --> 01:12:03

You've darkened your heart.

01:12:05 --> 01:12:06

So Allah may forgive you, but you still

01:12:06 --> 01:12:07

have a dark heart.

01:12:07 --> 01:12:08

You need to cleanse that.

01:12:09 --> 01:12:10

That's why we do a lot of dhikr

01:12:10 --> 01:12:10

and Ibad.

01:12:12 --> 01:12:13

You want a picture?

01:12:21 --> 01:12:23

Please come to Raleigh, North Carolina.

01:12:24 --> 01:12:26

We have growing Sunni youth.

01:12:30 --> 01:12:31

North Carolina is wonderful.

01:12:32 --> 01:12:33

I heard a lot of beautiful things about

01:12:33 --> 01:12:34

the landscape.

01:12:37 --> 01:12:39

I feel bad for skipping the Palestine charity

01:12:39 --> 01:12:40

videos.

01:12:40 --> 01:12:42

There's nothing against you for that.

01:12:42 --> 01:12:43

We're skipping the whole genocide.

01:12:44 --> 01:12:48

We're sitting here on our couches for the

01:12:48 --> 01:12:48

whole genocide.

01:12:48 --> 01:12:49

Don't worry about the video.

01:12:50 --> 01:12:52

Go donate to them then.

01:12:52 --> 01:12:53

We all have to donate.

01:12:53 --> 01:12:54

We all have to.

01:12:55 --> 01:12:56

Where's GRT by the way?

01:12:56 --> 01:12:57

It's pinned.

01:12:57 --> 01:12:58

Go donate to GRT.

01:12:59 --> 01:13:00

Can we get a picture of GRT?

01:13:00 --> 01:13:02

Just stick it up on the logo.

01:13:02 --> 01:13:03

Just stick it up in the corner.

01:13:16 --> 01:13:17

Can I sing a national anthem?

01:13:18 --> 01:13:20

It's not unlawful to sing a national anthem.

01:13:22 --> 01:13:25

I hate nationalism though and the nation state

01:13:25 --> 01:13:26

is the problem.

01:13:27 --> 01:13:31

The nation state, because we absorbed all these

01:13:31 --> 01:13:34

un-Islamic methods of doing things.

01:13:35 --> 01:13:39

Who said that you should establish your nations

01:13:39 --> 01:13:40

based on ethnic borders?

01:13:42 --> 01:13:44

That's not allowed in Islam.

01:13:45 --> 01:13:48

We have one way of ruling.

01:13:50 --> 01:13:56

Now it may naturally happen but ultimately Muslims

01:13:56 --> 01:14:01

have another way of operating and we have

01:14:01 --> 01:14:02

to go to our Sharia for that.

01:14:04 --> 01:14:06

We do believe in Khilafah even if it's

01:14:06 --> 01:14:06

not Khilafah.

01:14:06 --> 01:14:09

For example, Salahuddin was not the Khalifa himself.

01:14:10 --> 01:14:13

Neither was Nizamuddin but they established the Sharia

01:14:13 --> 01:14:19

and they didn't believe that you establish countries

01:14:19 --> 01:14:22

based on ethnic grounds, racial grounds.

01:14:23 --> 01:14:24

Not accepted.

01:14:25 --> 01:14:27

Not accepted at all.

01:14:28 --> 01:14:30

Go back to the Google search, Omar.

01:14:33 --> 01:14:34

Yeah, see that one in the bottom left

01:14:34 --> 01:14:34

corner?

01:14:34 --> 01:14:35

It says global.

01:14:35 --> 01:14:36

Yeah, put that up.

01:14:37 --> 01:14:39

Yeah, it's them because that has a white

01:14:39 --> 01:14:41

background and the word global relief trust is

01:14:41 --> 01:14:43

much clearer and you don't have to stick

01:14:43 --> 01:14:46

the gold column.

01:14:46 --> 01:14:47

You could just stick that in the corner

01:14:47 --> 01:14:47

there.

01:14:49 --> 01:14:51

Do we need to worry about animal source

01:14:51 --> 01:14:55

ingredients like gelatin, glycerin, rennet?

01:14:57 --> 01:14:59

In general, the entire ummah avoids gelatin as

01:14:59 --> 01:15:01

much as, yeah, we avoid gelatin.

01:15:02 --> 01:15:02

Yes.

01:15:05 --> 01:15:08

Lack of happiness is Talha Rizvi.

01:15:08 --> 01:15:11

Lack of happiness is something missing within the

01:15:11 --> 01:15:13

person regarding purpose, goals, relationship.

01:15:14 --> 01:15:16

Not a spouse's job to make you happy.

01:15:16 --> 01:15:18

Good enough that they try to be pleasant

01:15:18 --> 01:15:19

to be around.

01:15:22 --> 01:15:25

I'm going to say that you need to

01:15:25 --> 01:15:26

have the will to be happy.

01:15:28 --> 01:15:31

You need to have the will to be

01:15:31 --> 01:15:31

happy.

01:15:34 --> 01:15:35

You really do need that.

01:15:37 --> 01:15:40

And then other people really, to be honest,

01:15:40 --> 01:15:41

tell the truth.

01:15:44 --> 01:15:46

Everything for a moment, you have to view

01:15:46 --> 01:15:49

it as being for you, not against you.

01:15:51 --> 01:15:52

It's for you.

01:15:52 --> 01:15:52

It's not against you.

01:15:55 --> 01:15:57

Once you view it that way, even the

01:15:57 --> 01:16:00

painful situation, I can handle it.

01:16:01 --> 01:16:02

I might not be happy at the moment,

01:16:02 --> 01:16:04

but I believe it's for me.

01:16:04 --> 01:16:06

Everything is increasing me.

01:16:07 --> 01:16:09

And that's how a person should live.

01:16:10 --> 01:16:12

Every single thing that occurs is going to

01:16:12 --> 01:16:15

increase me in some way, shape, or form.

01:16:17 --> 01:16:18

Like life is complex.

01:16:18 --> 01:16:19

Life is vast.

01:16:19 --> 01:16:23

In some way, shape, and form, everything that

01:16:23 --> 01:16:26

happens is going to improve my situation, my

01:16:26 --> 01:16:27

life and situation.

01:16:32 --> 01:16:34

Yeah, I think that's a good, that's good.

01:16:34 --> 01:16:38

But I think maybe, no, no, maybe a

01:16:38 --> 01:16:39

little bit.

01:16:40 --> 01:16:44

Go fast forward an inch or a little

01:16:44 --> 01:16:46

bit, a second, maybe we'll change that.

01:16:46 --> 01:16:48

But I was going to say the text

01:16:48 --> 01:16:51

and the rectangle, if you make them kids

01:16:51 --> 01:16:52

colors, maybe.

01:16:52 --> 01:16:54

Can I do a birthday party?

01:16:55 --> 01:16:58

I think that little birthday parties for kids

01:16:58 --> 01:17:01

where there's not much extravagance is harmless.

01:17:03 --> 01:17:07

There is an argument that if everyone around

01:17:07 --> 01:17:09

them is doing it, you don't want them

01:17:09 --> 01:17:11

to crave it.

01:17:11 --> 01:17:14

And there's nothing specifically unlawful about it.

01:17:15 --> 01:17:16

And it's not a Sunnah either.

01:17:17 --> 01:17:19

It's not like you're rewarded for specifically doing

01:17:19 --> 01:17:20

that, nor are you punished for it.

01:17:21 --> 01:17:24

But I do think that extravagance, and waste

01:17:24 --> 01:17:26

of time and money, and takalluf from people

01:17:26 --> 01:17:30

is something that is mahzur minhu.

01:17:31 --> 01:17:34

It should be stayed away from.

01:17:35 --> 01:17:37

There are variations in the awrad that we

01:17:37 --> 01:17:38

recite.

01:17:38 --> 01:17:41

Yeah, there are different narrations, and whichever one

01:17:41 --> 01:17:41

you get, you can recite.

01:17:49 --> 01:17:50

Can I make du'a before saying the

01:17:50 --> 01:17:52

final salam and answer is yes.

01:17:53 --> 01:17:54

What's aqidah and what's fiqh?

01:17:55 --> 01:17:57

Aqidah is study of everything that we believe.

01:17:57 --> 01:17:59

Fiqh is the study of everything that we're

01:17:59 --> 01:18:00

supposed to do.

01:18:01 --> 01:18:01

That's the difference.

01:18:02 --> 01:18:05

Tasawwuf is the study of the spiritual states,

01:18:05 --> 01:18:08

removing envy, putting in love of Allah, things

01:18:08 --> 01:18:08

like that.

01:18:10 --> 01:18:12

Du'a for parents that you know of

01:18:12 --> 01:18:13

except the two in the Quran.

01:18:17 --> 01:18:19

Not off the top of my head, no.

01:18:20 --> 01:18:22

Yeah, that's in the Quran.

01:18:23 --> 01:18:25

The two in the Quran, they said.

01:18:25 --> 01:18:27

No, I'm not familiar with anything specifically off

01:18:27 --> 01:18:28

the top of my head.

01:18:35 --> 01:18:36

Is it possible to visit here?

01:18:37 --> 01:18:38

Yes, there's a small studio.

01:18:39 --> 01:18:41

It's not so small, but it's filled with

01:18:41 --> 01:18:41

guys.

01:18:42 --> 01:18:43

So, therefore, guys can come and visit.

01:18:43 --> 01:18:45

If a woman comes, she needs to have

01:18:45 --> 01:18:47

her mahram with her, somebody with her, because

01:18:47 --> 01:18:49

it would be awkward for her and for

01:18:49 --> 01:18:50

the other guys.

01:18:50 --> 01:18:52

If there's just one woman in a small

01:18:52 --> 01:18:58

place, it would probably be awkward for her.

01:18:58 --> 01:18:59

So, if a sister is going to come,

01:18:59 --> 01:19:02

she's going to come with her husband or

01:19:02 --> 01:19:05

her brother or her son or her dad,

01:19:05 --> 01:19:05

whatever.

01:19:06 --> 01:19:07

But people can pop in here.

01:19:08 --> 01:19:09

We are in the Laqusina building.

01:19:09 --> 01:19:11

And by the way, we will be streaming

01:19:11 --> 01:19:13

the Laqusina gala.

01:19:13 --> 01:19:16

It would be a great help for people

01:19:16 --> 01:19:20

to participate, because by 2030, we will, inshallah,

01:19:20 --> 01:19:22

have seven days a week.

01:19:23 --> 01:19:26

When you see the dinner on Wednesday, it's

01:19:26 --> 01:19:27

such a beautiful sight.

01:19:28 --> 01:19:30

And now that the winter is coming around,

01:19:30 --> 01:19:32

we're going to put tents in the back

01:19:32 --> 01:19:34

and we have heaters inside the tents and

01:19:34 --> 01:19:35

people could just sit in the tents and

01:19:35 --> 01:19:37

the food will be distributed in the big

01:19:37 --> 01:19:38

tent outside.

01:19:39 --> 01:19:44

And we're going to need tarp, too, because

01:19:44 --> 01:19:46

I don't want food getting on the ground.

01:19:46 --> 01:19:48

We have a beautiful pavement in the back

01:19:48 --> 01:19:48

there.

01:19:50 --> 01:19:51

All right, rapid fire.

01:19:51 --> 01:19:53

What are some of the things we should

01:19:53 --> 01:19:55

do or have arranged if planning for after

01:19:55 --> 01:19:57

death, like Will?

01:20:00 --> 01:20:02

So, you're going to need to pay off

01:20:02 --> 01:20:02

your debts.

01:20:03 --> 01:20:05

Any passwords you need to have, they need

01:20:05 --> 01:20:10

to go with whoever is managing your estate,

01:20:10 --> 01:20:11

because that's a big headache.

01:20:12 --> 01:20:15

For example, you have things that are accounts

01:20:15 --> 01:20:16

that need to be closed.

01:20:16 --> 01:20:19

You have money in certain accounts.

01:20:20 --> 01:20:23

Now that's the thing these days, which is

01:20:24 --> 01:20:28

making sure that our accounts are actually accessible.

01:20:29 --> 01:20:31

There's technology for that.

01:20:33 --> 01:20:35

How to do qada' for a period of

01:20:35 --> 01:20:36

my life when I was negligent of the

01:20:36 --> 01:20:37

prayers.

01:20:37 --> 01:20:38

You overestimate.

01:20:39 --> 01:20:41

Let's say, I say it's between three and

01:20:41 --> 01:20:42

four years.

01:20:42 --> 01:20:44

Definitely not four years, definitely not three years.

01:20:45 --> 01:20:46

All right, so let's say four years, because

01:20:46 --> 01:20:49

if you say four years, you're definitely, definitely

01:20:51 --> 01:20:52

covered it.

01:20:52 --> 01:20:54

So, for the next four years, you pray

01:20:54 --> 01:20:58

every salah twice, or if you can't do

01:20:58 --> 01:21:00

that, you pray one full day of salah

01:21:00 --> 01:21:01

at the end of the day.

01:21:13 --> 01:21:14

Should I keep making dua' for my marriage,

01:21:14 --> 01:21:16

even though my husband is divorcing me, despite

01:21:16 --> 01:21:20

continuous dua', sadaqa, isad, thawab, or should I

01:21:20 --> 01:21:22

stop, but he is, he is still a

01:21:22 --> 01:21:22

lot.

01:21:24 --> 01:21:26

My heart can't give up the dua'.

01:21:26 --> 01:21:28

Yeah, I would keep going, keep going.

01:21:29 --> 01:21:30

Yes, he may divorce you, but there's still

01:21:30 --> 01:21:35

three months of iddah in which he may

01:21:35 --> 01:21:40

take back the divorce, recant his divorce.

01:21:41 --> 01:21:43

Even after that, he may still propose to

01:21:43 --> 01:21:44

you again and marry you again.

01:21:45 --> 01:21:46

Of course, that would be with your approval.

01:21:47 --> 01:21:49

Within the three months is without your approval.

01:21:50 --> 01:21:51

He's recanting the divorce.

01:21:56 --> 01:21:59

I heard praying jama'a, isha and faj,

01:22:00 --> 01:22:01

as we stood all night praying.

01:22:01 --> 01:22:06

Yes, if somebody prays in jama'a, it

01:22:06 --> 01:22:08

is said to be, is it in the

01:22:08 --> 01:22:09

masjid or even in the house?

01:22:09 --> 01:22:12

That's a good question.

01:22:13 --> 01:22:18

I never saw a tafseel between that.

01:22:18 --> 01:22:19

Omar, did you hear that?

01:22:19 --> 01:22:21

That hadith, whoever prays jama'a, faj and

01:22:21 --> 01:22:23

isha in jama'a, it's as if he

01:22:23 --> 01:22:24

prayed the whole night.

01:22:24 --> 01:22:26

Does that include the jama'a in a

01:22:26 --> 01:22:29

home, like him and his wife?

01:22:31 --> 01:22:32

I have to look at the shuruhat on

01:22:32 --> 01:22:32

that.

01:22:33 --> 01:22:35

Usually, from what the ba'alawi is, is

01:22:35 --> 01:22:38

that if there's an interpretation, the more generous

01:22:38 --> 01:22:40

one is most appropriate for Allah.

01:22:40 --> 01:22:41

And that's what they say.

01:22:42 --> 01:22:43

But Allah, I don't have to look at

01:22:43 --> 01:22:43

that.

01:22:45 --> 01:22:47

What was the aqeedah of Abdul Qadir al

01:22:47 --> 01:22:47

-Jilani?

01:22:48 --> 01:22:50

Humbly an aqeedah, hated kalam.

01:22:51 --> 01:22:56

Hated kalam and said to one of his

01:22:56 --> 01:23:01

students, one student wanted to learn from him

01:23:01 --> 01:23:01

kalam.

01:23:04 --> 01:23:06

So, how do we interpret that since we

01:23:06 --> 01:23:07

love Abdul Qadir al-Jilani so much?

01:23:08 --> 01:23:10

Well, we interpret that as that he found

01:23:10 --> 01:23:11

that in his time, there was no use

01:23:11 --> 01:23:12

for it.

01:23:13 --> 01:23:15

In our time, we find he wasn't living

01:23:15 --> 01:23:17

so much with atheists, I guess.

01:23:18 --> 01:23:21

And those arguments weren't very popular.

01:23:22 --> 01:23:25

But we can't, we have to tell the

01:23:25 --> 01:23:26

truth about what he held.

01:23:26 --> 01:23:28

He did not like kalam.

01:23:30 --> 01:23:31

That's his ijtihad.

01:23:34 --> 01:23:36

Did he make a pronouncement that this is

01:23:36 --> 01:23:37

a bid'ah and kufr?

01:23:37 --> 01:23:41

I didn't see all of his comments on

01:23:41 --> 01:23:41

it.

01:23:42 --> 01:23:46

But I believe he saw that it has

01:23:46 --> 01:23:47

no use.

01:23:47 --> 01:23:48

That's why he hated it so much.

01:23:49 --> 01:23:52

But where kalam does have a use, where

01:23:52 --> 01:23:52

is its use?

01:23:53 --> 01:23:55

Its use is in any time that a

01:23:55 --> 01:23:57

Muslim has a doubt about Islam that has

01:23:57 --> 01:23:58

to be repelled.

01:23:59 --> 01:24:01

And it could simply be that he was

01:24:01 --> 01:24:04

living in a time where people didn't have

01:24:04 --> 01:24:08

the same amount of doubts, right, about Islam.

01:24:09 --> 01:24:11

But there's a problem with that too.

01:24:12 --> 01:24:13

He's living in Baghdad.

01:24:13 --> 01:24:15

And we're always quoting Baghdad as the place

01:24:15 --> 01:24:17

of all this cosmopolitan ideas.

01:24:27 --> 01:24:30

His whole manhaj he hated this falsafa.

01:24:31 --> 01:24:34

And kalam is, it is a falsafa insofar

01:24:34 --> 01:24:36

as it's responding back to philosophers.

01:24:36 --> 01:24:38

When a philosopher makes a chess move against

01:24:38 --> 01:24:41

you, you have your answer is going to

01:24:41 --> 01:24:44

sound philosophical back because that's how you neutralize

01:24:44 --> 01:24:44

him.

01:24:47 --> 01:24:48

Should I keep making?

01:24:48 --> 01:24:49

Okay, we answered this one.

01:24:50 --> 01:24:53

What is the hukum about thinking that the

01:24:53 --> 01:24:56

light of Sayyidina Muhammad is from the light

01:24:56 --> 01:24:57

of Allah?

01:24:58 --> 01:25:00

Yes, it's all created light.

01:25:01 --> 01:25:04

When we say the light of Allah, meaning

01:25:04 --> 01:25:05

the light that Allah created.

01:25:06 --> 01:25:08

When you say Allah is the light of

01:25:08 --> 01:25:10

the heavens and the earth, as Ibn Abbas

01:25:10 --> 01:25:11

said, it means he's the guide of the

01:25:11 --> 01:25:12

heavens and the earth.

01:25:12 --> 01:25:14

It is not that Allah is a physical

01:25:14 --> 01:25:14

light.

01:25:15 --> 01:25:18

Light, as we know it, is a material

01:25:18 --> 01:25:18

substance.

01:25:18 --> 01:25:21

It may be very subtle, but it is

01:25:21 --> 01:25:22

a material substance.

01:25:23 --> 01:25:24

And therefore Allah Ta'ala is not a

01:25:24 --> 01:25:25

material substance.

01:25:25 --> 01:25:29

So when they say Allah is the light

01:25:29 --> 01:25:30

of the heavens and the earth, it means

01:25:30 --> 01:25:32

Allah Ta'ala is the guide of the

01:25:32 --> 01:25:34

heavens and the earth, as said Ibn Abbas.

01:25:37 --> 01:25:39

But when we say the light of Allah

01:25:39 --> 01:25:45

Ta'ala, we're talking about a light that

01:25:45 --> 01:25:46

Allah created.

01:25:48 --> 01:25:50

And Allah Ta'ala creates that light and

01:25:50 --> 01:25:51

he bestows it upon his Ibad.

01:25:53 --> 01:25:55

When they purify their heart, when they make

01:25:55 --> 01:25:58

wudu, when they do a lot of Ibadah.

01:25:59 --> 01:26:02

And is there anyone who has received more

01:26:02 --> 01:26:03

of that light than the messengers?

01:26:04 --> 01:26:08

Prophets, messengers, ulul azmi, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

01:26:08 --> 01:26:09

That's the order of prophets.

01:26:10 --> 01:26:12

And beneath the prophets, as-Siddiqoon, which is

01:26:12 --> 01:26:13

the awliya.

01:26:13 --> 01:26:17

And beneath them, al-'ulamaa al-'amiloon.

01:26:18 --> 01:26:19

And beneath them, as-Salihoon.

01:26:21 --> 01:26:24

And beneath them, sa'ir al-mu'mineen, all

01:26:24 --> 01:26:24

the other believers.

01:26:25 --> 01:26:26

Because even a believer with sins, at least

01:26:26 --> 01:26:28

he has the light of Tawheed in his

01:26:28 --> 01:26:28

heart.

01:26:28 --> 01:26:30

He has enough guidance to know not idols,

01:26:30 --> 01:26:33

worship Allah rather than false gods.

01:26:33 --> 01:26:37

So when we talk about light, it is

01:26:37 --> 01:26:38

a created thing.

01:26:39 --> 01:26:43

But for somebody to say, as was said

01:26:43 --> 01:26:48

by a certain Egyptian Sheikh, محمد هو نور

01:26:48 --> 01:26:52

الله الذاتي أو خلق من نور الله الذاتي

01:26:53 --> 01:26:57

that is completely an incorrect Ibarah, an expression.

01:26:58 --> 01:27:01

And that could even, Allah be interpreted as

01:27:01 --> 01:27:02

Kufr.

01:27:03 --> 01:27:04

Why?

01:27:04 --> 01:27:08

وَجَعَلُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ جُزْأَ Because Allah Ta'ala

01:27:08 --> 01:27:11

is not divided up into his slaves and

01:27:11 --> 01:27:12

take a piece of Allah and put it

01:27:12 --> 01:27:13

inside of somebody.

01:27:13 --> 01:27:13

No.

01:27:14 --> 01:27:16

Because that's what it indicates, right?

01:27:16 --> 01:27:18

And what does it mean, نور الله الذاتي?

01:27:20 --> 01:27:22

Because the attribute of Noor is the attribute

01:27:22 --> 01:27:23

of guidance.

01:27:25 --> 01:27:28

It's not a physical light that we have

01:27:28 --> 01:27:30

here amongst us or the physical light that

01:27:30 --> 01:27:33

is bestowed upon a believer's face or bestowed

01:27:33 --> 01:27:35

upon the believer's limbs on the Day of

01:27:35 --> 01:27:35

Judgment.

01:27:36 --> 01:27:38

And we see that that's how the believers

01:27:38 --> 01:27:39

are known and recognized.

01:27:40 --> 01:27:42

The light of the limbs of wudu, their

01:27:42 --> 01:27:44

face, their hair, their arms and their feet

01:27:45 --> 01:27:46

are glowing.

01:27:47 --> 01:27:47

Glowing with what?

01:27:47 --> 01:27:48

With Noor.

01:27:51 --> 01:27:53

So that is the light that we negate

01:27:53 --> 01:27:54

from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because that

01:27:54 --> 01:27:55

is a creation.

01:28:01 --> 01:28:05

A couple more questions.

01:28:05 --> 01:28:07

Is a husband responsible for emotional well-being

01:28:07 --> 01:28:09

and safety of the wife or just financial

01:28:09 --> 01:28:10

obligations?

01:28:10 --> 01:28:13

Yes, you didn't marry a lump.

01:28:14 --> 01:28:15

You married a person with a heart and

01:28:15 --> 01:28:19

an emotion, an emotional state that you are

01:28:19 --> 01:28:20

responsible for not hurting it.

01:28:21 --> 01:28:24

I don't think he's not responsible if she

01:28:24 --> 01:28:26

doesn't want to be happy and wants to

01:28:26 --> 01:28:28

be down as some people do.

01:28:28 --> 01:28:29

What's the proof of it?

01:28:29 --> 01:28:31

The proof is they keep talking about negative

01:28:31 --> 01:28:31

things.

01:28:32 --> 01:28:33

He can't stop that.

01:28:33 --> 01:28:33

He can't force her.

01:28:34 --> 01:28:35

But he can't hurt her.

01:28:36 --> 01:28:37

He can't make it worse.

01:28:37 --> 01:28:38

He should try to make it.

01:28:38 --> 01:28:40

Now, if we're going to talk about the

01:28:40 --> 01:28:41

law, that's one thing.

01:28:41 --> 01:28:43

But we're going to talk about common sense.

01:28:45 --> 01:28:47

If your husband or wife does not care

01:28:47 --> 01:28:49

about your emotional well-being, then who's going

01:28:49 --> 01:28:49

to?

01:28:51 --> 01:28:53

Your parents are already getting too old.

01:28:53 --> 01:28:55

You're going to care about them soon.

01:28:55 --> 01:28:57

Your kids, what do they know?

01:28:57 --> 01:28:58

They're just kids.

01:28:58 --> 01:29:00

And even afterwards, they move on with their

01:29:00 --> 01:29:00

life.

01:29:00 --> 01:29:01

You raise your kids so that they can

01:29:01 --> 01:29:02

move on.

01:29:03 --> 01:29:07

At a certain period of time, a husband

01:29:07 --> 01:29:09

or a wife may be more attached to

01:29:09 --> 01:29:10

their kids.

01:29:10 --> 01:29:12

Usually the wife will be more attached to

01:29:12 --> 01:29:13

her kids than her husband.

01:29:14 --> 01:29:15

That could be the case because the kids

01:29:15 --> 01:29:16

are so small.

01:29:16 --> 01:29:20

They need so much care and attention.

01:29:21 --> 01:29:22

But there's going to come a point when

01:29:22 --> 01:29:23

they leave the nest.

01:29:26 --> 01:29:28

Then who are you going to care about?

01:29:29 --> 01:29:29

They're gone.

01:29:30 --> 01:29:31

You raise your kids so they can leave

01:29:31 --> 01:29:31

you.

01:29:32 --> 01:29:33

I don't know if someone gets so attached

01:29:33 --> 01:29:34

to their kids.

01:29:35 --> 01:29:36

So attached to their kids.

01:29:37 --> 01:29:38

It's one thing I care about them.

01:29:38 --> 01:29:39

I love them.

01:29:39 --> 01:29:41

But they cannot be the source.

01:29:42 --> 01:29:43

They cannot be my power source.

01:29:44 --> 01:29:45

Yes, they make me happy.

01:29:46 --> 01:29:49

Yes, there's the idea of qurrat al-'ayn.

01:29:50 --> 01:29:51

There is all that.

01:29:52 --> 01:29:54

But we are raising them to leave us.

01:29:55 --> 01:29:57

When you look and you see your kids

01:29:57 --> 01:30:02

are functioning well outside the house, they're well

01:30:02 --> 01:30:04

-adjusted outside the house.

01:30:05 --> 01:30:07

They know how to deal with people.

01:30:07 --> 01:30:08

That is the victory of the parents.

01:30:10 --> 01:30:12

When a dad is to look at his

01:30:12 --> 01:30:16

son hanging out with the other guys normally,

01:30:16 --> 01:30:17

that's an achievement.

01:30:18 --> 01:30:22

Because there are some parents who actually didn't

01:30:22 --> 01:30:22

do this.

01:30:23 --> 01:30:25

They never taught their kid how to socialize.

01:30:25 --> 01:30:26

They never socialized their child.

01:30:27 --> 01:30:28

That is a big oppression, I would say.

01:30:28 --> 01:30:30

You really dropped the ball.

01:30:31 --> 01:30:36

The person must socialize their kids to be

01:30:36 --> 01:30:38

able to hang out, to interact.

01:30:38 --> 01:30:39

Now if there's another level.

01:30:39 --> 01:30:42

Now my son can handle a lot of

01:30:42 --> 01:30:43

other things too in society.

01:30:43 --> 01:30:45

That's all the victory of the dad and

01:30:45 --> 01:30:46

the mom.

01:30:47 --> 01:30:48

That's a victory for them.

01:30:48 --> 01:30:49

That's success for them.

01:30:50 --> 01:30:52

Then you go and he has a marriage.

01:30:52 --> 01:30:53

He's a good husband or she's a good

01:30:53 --> 01:30:54

wife.

01:30:54 --> 01:30:57

They interact well as a couple.

01:30:57 --> 01:30:58

They're happy.

01:30:58 --> 01:30:59

Now they're having kids.

01:30:59 --> 01:31:00

They know how to raise their kids.

01:31:00 --> 01:31:01

All that is the success of the parents.

01:31:02 --> 01:31:05

A parent's happiness with their kid is when

01:31:05 --> 01:31:08

the kid is outside the house and successful.

01:31:09 --> 01:31:10

That's how you get your happiness.

01:31:12 --> 01:31:14

Keeping your kid next to you and so

01:31:14 --> 01:31:16

close to you and attached to you, you

01:31:16 --> 01:31:17

actually destroy the kid.

01:31:18 --> 01:31:19

So kids move on.

01:31:21 --> 01:31:23

So ultimately your life is going to be

01:31:23 --> 01:31:25

with your wife and if you're a woman

01:31:25 --> 01:31:26

with your husband.

01:31:26 --> 01:31:28

You're going to stay with them.

01:31:28 --> 01:31:29

They stay with you.

01:31:30 --> 01:31:31

So if you don't care about their emotional

01:31:31 --> 01:31:33

well-being, then they're not going to care

01:31:33 --> 01:31:33

about yours.

01:31:34 --> 01:31:35

Then what kind of marriage is it?

01:31:38 --> 01:31:40

We only have 60 seconds for rapid fire.

01:31:41 --> 01:31:41

Go ahead.

01:31:46 --> 01:31:47

Any advice if you have a big amount

01:31:47 --> 01:31:48

of prayers to make up?

01:31:49 --> 01:31:50

Yes.

01:31:50 --> 01:31:51

What is it?

01:31:51 --> 01:31:53

Any advice for making up a big amount

01:31:53 --> 01:31:53

of prayers?

01:31:53 --> 01:31:54

Yeah, you have to do it.

01:31:55 --> 01:32:00

One day of prayers a day.

01:32:00 --> 01:32:02

Make five makeups a day.

01:32:03 --> 01:32:05

Is it permissible to invest in a company

01:32:05 --> 01:32:07

that makes dog toys and dog treats?

01:32:09 --> 01:32:10

Yeah.

01:32:11 --> 01:32:11

Okay.

01:32:12 --> 01:32:13

Is it haram to work in defense companies

01:32:13 --> 01:32:14

in the US or Canada?

01:32:14 --> 01:32:16

What about your own defense company?

01:32:16 --> 01:32:16

No.

01:32:16 --> 01:32:21

I'm sure once you know that that money

01:32:21 --> 01:32:23

is going to oppression, then you can't give

01:32:23 --> 01:32:24

it anymore.

01:32:24 --> 01:32:26

If it was, for example, the Argentinian military,

01:32:26 --> 01:32:28

which I don't think that they're oppressing anybody

01:32:28 --> 01:32:29

at this point in time.

01:32:30 --> 01:32:30

No problem.

01:32:31 --> 01:32:33

The idea of a military is not an

01:32:33 --> 01:32:33

issue.

01:32:33 --> 01:32:34

It's what they do.

01:32:34 --> 01:32:37

So selling weapons to the Chilean military.

01:32:38 --> 01:32:39

I don't know what they're doing right now,

01:32:39 --> 01:32:41

but I don't think they're doing anything oppressive.

01:32:41 --> 01:32:42

Shouldn't be a problem with that.

01:32:43 --> 01:32:44

Is it permissible to charge extra on Friday

01:32:44 --> 01:32:46

compared to other days of the week for

01:32:46 --> 01:32:47

providing service?

01:32:49 --> 01:32:50

Repeat the question, please.

01:32:50 --> 01:32:52

So charging more on Friday compared to other

01:32:52 --> 01:32:53

days of the week for a service?

01:32:53 --> 01:32:54

You charge as much as you want.

01:32:56 --> 01:32:58

Buying and selling on both parties are happy.

01:32:58 --> 01:33:00

You want to charge more on Friday or

01:33:00 --> 01:33:00

on weekends.

01:33:00 --> 01:33:01

No problem with that.

01:33:01 --> 01:33:03

How should one deal with self-hatred?

01:33:03 --> 01:33:04

Self-hatred?

01:33:05 --> 01:33:06

Get better at yourself.

01:33:06 --> 01:33:08

Get better at being you and everything.

01:33:08 --> 01:33:09

Get a skill.

01:33:10 --> 01:33:11

Work on your appearance.

01:33:12 --> 01:33:13

Work on your physical fitness.

01:33:13 --> 01:33:14

Work on your social skills.

01:33:14 --> 01:33:15

Then you won't hate yourself.

01:33:16 --> 01:33:16

Work at it.

01:33:17 --> 01:33:19

You may hate yourself for a reason.

01:33:20 --> 01:33:22

And that may be a valid reason, by

01:33:22 --> 01:33:22

the way.

01:33:22 --> 01:33:23

So fix yourself.

01:33:24 --> 01:33:24

Work at yourself.

01:33:25 --> 01:33:26

Is it permissible to use foul language with

01:33:26 --> 01:33:27

Zainis?

01:33:30 --> 01:33:31

I believe so.

01:33:31 --> 01:33:33

And the limit there is that you don't

01:33:33 --> 01:33:36

accuse someone of the curses that relate to

01:33:36 --> 01:33:36

Zina.

01:33:37 --> 01:33:38

But I mean, I don't know about that.

01:33:40 --> 01:33:42

We do have Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq.

01:33:42 --> 01:33:44

He did curse a man one time, right?

01:33:45 --> 01:33:46

A pagan who insulted the Prophet.

01:33:47 --> 01:33:49

So some of the ulama say, if you're

01:33:49 --> 01:33:51

allowed to kill an enemy, you're allowed to

01:33:51 --> 01:33:51

curse at him, right?

01:33:53 --> 01:33:54

Think about that.

01:33:54 --> 01:33:56

If you're allowed to kill someone, you're allowed

01:33:56 --> 01:33:57

to curse at him.

01:33:57 --> 01:33:58

But Allah knows best.

01:33:58 --> 01:33:59

I'm going to say Allah knows best on

01:33:59 --> 01:33:59

that one.

01:33:59 --> 01:34:01

They meant like cursing like foul language, you

01:34:01 --> 01:34:01

know?

01:34:01 --> 01:34:03

Yeah, I'm just going to curse.

01:34:04 --> 01:34:04

That's what I mean by that.

01:34:05 --> 01:34:06

At one time, Abu Bakr actually cursed an

01:34:06 --> 01:34:08

enemy, right?

01:34:08 --> 01:34:09

With a curse, you wouldn't even be able

01:34:09 --> 01:34:10

to repeat it here.

01:34:11 --> 01:34:13

So dhikr purifies the place of sins.

01:34:13 --> 01:34:13

Is that what you're saying?

01:34:13 --> 01:34:14

Yes.

01:34:19 --> 01:34:22

What is the position of the four schools?

01:34:22 --> 01:34:24

Did the Prophet see Allah on the Mi

01:34:24 --> 01:34:24

'raj?

01:34:25 --> 01:34:27

I believe that the dominant opinion on that,

01:34:28 --> 01:34:29

I can't say for all schools, but what

01:34:29 --> 01:34:31

I know is that he saw a light

01:34:31 --> 01:34:34

and he did not see Allah subhanahu wa

01:34:34 --> 01:34:34

ta'ala.

01:34:37 --> 01:34:38

And you can find that in Sahih Muslim.

01:34:38 --> 01:34:41

There's discussion on that on Sahih Muslim.

01:34:41 --> 01:34:42

Was the permissibility of having images of non

01:34:42 --> 01:34:44

-Muslim women now wearing hijab on marketing material

01:34:44 --> 01:34:46

for products for women?

01:34:48 --> 01:34:51

Sheikh Hatim al-Hajj said about that, it's

01:34:51 --> 01:34:53

within the realm of decency.

01:34:53 --> 01:34:55

Because I asked him one time, a guy

01:34:55 --> 01:34:57

has a company and everyone in the company's

01:34:57 --> 01:34:57

picture has to be put.

01:34:58 --> 01:35:01

And of course, naturally, he hired American women

01:35:01 --> 01:35:02

who don't wear hijab.

01:35:02 --> 01:35:03

So he's asked, the guy asked me, I

01:35:03 --> 01:35:05

asked Dr. Hatim al-Hajj and he said,

01:35:05 --> 01:35:07

for that, we can't stop people from working,

01:35:07 --> 01:35:09

people have to work, but you just operate

01:35:09 --> 01:35:10

with the realm of decency.

01:35:14 --> 01:35:15

What's the right way to work for Khilafah,

01:35:15 --> 01:35:16

how to gather people?

01:35:16 --> 01:35:17

Because if you don't work for it, it's

01:35:17 --> 01:35:18

not going to come by chance.

01:35:19 --> 01:35:21

I believe that the only thing we could

01:35:21 --> 01:35:23

do is talk about it, make people believe

01:35:23 --> 01:35:23

in it.

01:35:27 --> 01:35:29

How can we avoid group tribalism?

01:35:29 --> 01:35:31

Sometimes people have no issue calling someone's bad

01:35:31 --> 01:35:31

behavior.

01:35:32 --> 01:35:33

But when the person's from the same group,

01:35:33 --> 01:35:34

they're okay with it.

01:35:36 --> 01:35:38

So ignoring like, I guess, your friends and

01:35:38 --> 01:35:39

close.

01:35:39 --> 01:35:40

Yeah.

01:35:41 --> 01:35:43

No, a believer is truthful.

01:35:43 --> 01:35:46

And if you don't want to be harsh

01:35:46 --> 01:35:48

with your friends, don't be harsh with strangers.

01:35:48 --> 01:35:50

So you can still have the truth, uphold

01:35:50 --> 01:35:50

the truth.

01:35:50 --> 01:35:52

But you uphold the truth.

01:35:53 --> 01:35:54

If you're going to be soft with one

01:35:54 --> 01:35:56

and harsh with the other, the answer is

01:35:56 --> 01:35:58

to be soft with both.

01:36:00 --> 01:36:01

I don't want to wear a niqab that

01:36:01 --> 01:36:04

my husband wants me to.

01:36:04 --> 01:36:05

I feel like niqab strips my identity.

01:36:06 --> 01:36:07

Oh, that's a big discussion you have to

01:36:07 --> 01:36:08

have with your husband then.

01:36:11 --> 01:36:13

Maybe that should have happened before marriage, that

01:36:13 --> 01:36:15

kind of discussion, because that's a big deal.

01:36:17 --> 01:36:19

Someone, one sheikh said a prophet is not

01:36:19 --> 01:36:19

the best prophet.

01:36:19 --> 01:36:20

Is this true?

01:36:20 --> 01:36:22

Oh my goodness, he needs to be lashed,

01:36:22 --> 01:36:22

if not killed.

01:36:23 --> 01:36:24

No, I'm just exaggerating here.

01:36:25 --> 01:36:26

Because some people would have said that.

01:36:26 --> 01:36:32

But the Prophet ﷺ himself said, أنا سيد

01:36:32 --> 01:36:33

ولدي آدم ولا فخر.

01:36:34 --> 01:36:35

By the way, I was just exaggerating because

01:36:35 --> 01:36:37

some people would have said that.

01:36:37 --> 01:36:40

That's an insult to the Prophet and an

01:36:40 --> 01:36:45

executable punishment, capital crime, someone who talks like

01:36:45 --> 01:36:45

this.

01:36:46 --> 01:36:48

But the Prophet, he's saying all prophets are

01:36:48 --> 01:36:48

the same.

01:36:49 --> 01:36:51

He doesn't want to, he's not lowering the

01:36:51 --> 01:36:52

Prophet, he's saying all prophets are the same.

01:36:53 --> 01:36:55

And we say that that's an incorrect statement.

01:36:57 --> 01:37:01

The Prophet ﷺ said, أنا سيد ولدي آدم

01:37:01 --> 01:37:01

ولا فخر.

01:37:04 --> 01:37:06

Is there a du'a for barakah and

01:37:06 --> 01:37:06

business?

01:37:07 --> 01:37:12

استغفر Sheikh Shadi, please come to Toronto.

01:37:13 --> 01:37:14

Yeah, we're due for Toronto, by the way.

01:37:14 --> 01:37:15

Oh, when?

01:37:15 --> 01:37:17

No, I don't know when, but maybe in

01:37:17 --> 01:37:18

the winter we'll catch some snow.

01:37:18 --> 01:37:19

Oh yeah, for that one intensive thing.

01:37:21 --> 01:37:22

One more question.

01:37:28 --> 01:37:29

If someone has a large debt, tens of

01:37:29 --> 01:37:31

thousands of dollars, can he go for Hajj

01:37:31 --> 01:37:33

or Umrah, or does he need to pay

01:37:33 --> 01:37:33

off the debt first?

01:37:33 --> 01:37:36

It's not required to be debt-free when

01:37:36 --> 01:37:36

you go to Hajj and Umrah.

01:37:37 --> 01:37:38

So the answer is yes, you can go.

01:37:40 --> 01:37:40

Okay.

01:37:41 --> 01:37:43

All right, ladies and gentlemen, so many questions.

01:37:43 --> 01:37:44

Jazakumullahu khayran.

01:37:45 --> 01:37:46

Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdik.

01:37:46 --> 01:37:49

Nashhadu an la ilaha illa anta.

01:37:49 --> 01:37:50

Nastaghfiruk wa natubu ilayk.

01:37:51 --> 01:37:53

Inna al-insana la fee khusr.

01:37:54 --> 01:37:56

Illa allatheena amanu wa aminu al-salihaat.

01:37:57 --> 01:37:58

Wa tawasaw bil-haqq.

01:37:58 --> 01:37:59

Wa tawasaw bil-sabr.

01:38:00 --> 01:38:01

Wassalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.
