Welcome
to the essentials of Islamic faith
for the youngsters.
I get to put on my full
chacha,
uncle hamu
hat. I'm just joking, but I just want
to say that I'm really excited to have
you guys
in this vlog class. And how it works
is, I want you to watch
these and then make sure on Sundays you
attend the discussions with me.
Discussions are where you can ask questions, engage.
We know that it's great in Islam to
ask questions,
and it's normal in Islam to doubt. Right?
That
night. He came to the Sahaba, and he
mentioned that he had had a *,
and that he needed
an excuse not to make the because he
was worried he would die,
and they said for him there's no Rosa.
There's no dispensation for you. You have to
do the complete wash,
and he did it, and he died.
And they came to the prophet,
and they
told him what happened.
They killed him. Allah killed him.
And the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam then said
namashifa
alri that the remedy for any illness
is to ask a question.
So asking questions is great.
Maybe some of you have ran into religious
teachers that told you
don't ask questions, or
your parents may have told you, like, don't
ask questions.
You just felt like it's not good to
ask
questions.
Nah, man.
The prophetic narrations that discourage us from asking
questions
are questions that don't lead to practical solutions
or lead to benefit. Right? Just asking questions
to be causing trouble.
The second thing about doubt is in Sahih
Muslim, which is an authentic collection of prophetic
narrations.
A man came to the Messenger of Allah,
came to Prophet Muhammad,
alayhis salam, and he said, I have
things that I want to ask you, but
I'm scared to say them.
You're stuck.
It's disgusting
he said, really? Really? Really?
Like, really?
He said, yes. Yes.
He
said, that, that is pure faith,
because the battle, the fact that you are
even thinking about battling your doubts and not
just simply succumbing to them,
that's a sign that you have iman.
You have faith.
So how are you gonna benefit from class?
The more you challenge me,
the more you engage with me, and even
in fact, the more you may differ with
my conclusions,
the better the overall experience will be.
The third
is that you cannot feel so defeated by
your shortcomings In
the
In the Quran, Allah is the one
who guides.
Allah is the one
who leads you to where you need to
be.
The process, man.
And I can say that
I'm not here to judge you.
In 20 years of this, I've dealt with
every kind of person,
every kind of sin,
every kind of evil.
And I believe
that we have to love people back to
Allah,
not terrify them from Allah.
And that's unfortunate because you go online and
you see a lot people who have some
experiences have come back to Islam or found
Islam and haven't really studied and their passion
and their love and even maybe their selfishness
for
Islam causes them to push people away from
Islam.
No. No.
Surat al Mustaine
is a wide path.
It's for everybody.
Now
where do we get
started? Let's talk about guilt
because guilt is a monster, man.
And a lot of times guilt is used
by shaitan
to keep us away from growth,
but in Islam, guilt,
healthy guilt,
is
what
spawns growth.
You may be wondering, like, healthy guilt,
unhealthy guilt,
healthy guilt,
and regret.
It's that regret
that inspires us to be better,
that invokes in us a sense of self
honor and
worth
that does not allow us to surrender
and bow down
to the guilt,
but to feel offended by it.
To feel like, you know what? I'm better
than this. I can do better than this.
So the guilt is a catalyst
for
improvement. Unhealthy guilt
is the guilt that causes us to give
up and surrender and shaitan uses that type
of guilt, what's called a
yes, to cause us to lose hope.
Healthy guilt,
which
inspires us to be better,
and healthy guilt,
which causes
us to fall into depression,
to be consumed by anxiety
to the point that we no longer work
and we give up and we surrender.
I'm gonna talk about how to deal with
that inshallah next time,
but I just wanna let you know,
it's okay to feel that way. The prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, health healthy guilt
and healthy regret.
That repentance starts with a sense of regret.
