So we begin insha'Allah
with the 7th hadith 1 who, when are
we, he will,
and saydina
Two things happen in a word.
In this case, it's the name
and
not So this this type of noun doesn't
accept
like
his name has the feminine ta at the
end. Although that doesn't always mean feminine, sometimes
it means to emphasize. You say,
Sometimes
to emphasize the quality.
For is called,
to feed a luzum.
Always, he's with a cat. So he's called.
And is
doesn't accept
doesn't accept
like Ibrahim and so on and so on.
Like Mariam
This is the foundation of Islamic justice.
Social justice, we call it religious justice.
Because justice isn't just for us. If we
say social justice, that means only we we're
looking for our own justice.
But religious justice is what Allah has said
is just.
Because without
a religious
component to justice,
it becomes everyone's justice.
Everyone has their own interpretation.
Because human beings, that's how we are, man.
We all have our own needs, our own
wants.
This hadith, it says, Allah.
It doesn't look at your bodies or your
shapes.
But he looks at your hearts and your
deeds.
This hadith
is restricted by other hadith because if for
example, I were to get a tattoo
of Carson Wentz on my back.
You're a quarterback.
The commanders.
Whatever the name is now.
Right?
Allah
will hold me account accountable for that. So
it doesn't mean that I can do anything
I want with my body. I can do
anything I want with my physical shape.
And the law will not hold me accountable
for that. Of course. But here, this means
we say,
from our
color,
the shapes that we have as human beings
from our different cultures. Allah
Allah doesn't look at that. In fact, Sheikh
Doctor Hassan Shefai,
he used to tell us this is called
we call
the principle of honor
that the the the the principle of engaging
people is that we should respect them no
matter who they are. Because Allah says in
the Quran
after. Like, we honored
all people.
So maybe somebody reads this hadith,
Oh, I can, you know, get rid of
my nose or
do something to myself. And of course, this
is gonna bring up the question of plastic
surgery. You can ask the imam that question.
Now, most ulema, they said plastic surgery is
allowed if there's a medical need.
I
translated this research paper on this issue. Somebody
is born with certain issues. Somebody, maybe they're
in a.
They have some kind of accident,
some kind of wreck.
Something has happened to them.
How they just Because there's a difference between
with in Fatwa. There's a difference between
completing what was already there and changing what
was already there.
But for me to go get 1,000 facelifts
for no reason,
that's
But God forbid, if something happens to someone,
and
for whatever reason,
they need
to have some work done to achieve
the look that they had before,
the accident or whatever. It's
allowed. It's allowed.
That's why
you put in this chapter.
Allah Subhanahu looks at your
and your
actions.
Actions are body intentions.
The next hadith from Abi Musa,
As we said before, this is the great
great great grandfather of imam Abu Hassanal
Ashari,
Rahim.
They're originally from Yemen. There's a lot of
Yemenis around here.
Well, Ab Musa Al Ashari,
he made a hijra twice. Once on accident
and one on purpose. On accident, he was
in a shipwreck,
and it landed at Habasha.
And then he went from Habasha to Medina.
And he sacrificed a lot for Islam, man.
And when the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salamasahe
made dua for him. He said, may Allah
bless you and your life
and your efforts
and your wealth.
And
the prophet salallahu alayhi was someone asked about
a person who fights
to show their bravery or fights to achieve
valor or fights to show off. Or fights
to show off.
And the person said, Oh, messenger of Allah,
which one of those fought in the cause
of Allah? Oh, messenger of Allah. Which one
of those fought in the cause of Allah?
And as we said earlier, one of the
lessons we take from the first chapter
is that the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam
acts as a teacher in
almost every moment you can imagine.
With his wife say to Aisha in their
house,
the the second hadith,
with
Jabri Bin Abdullah, he and a anti semitic
on the battlefield.
He's teaching people
the hadith of
At his deathbed,
the professor teaches him.
And now here.
So we see something like the role of
the in
the in in the
adjudication between man and his father,
prophet is teaching.
So constantly, the prophet
is teaching as though we're seeing
this famous belief we have about the prophets,
Adam will kit men.
That the prophets didn't hide anything.
Anything that needed to be taught, they taught
it.
Now people teach us, what do we say?
Haram police.
It's not it's not what they're teaching, maybe
the way they're teaching is the problem. Right?
That's a different story. We'll talk about it
in future chapters. But we shouldn't make fun
of the Haram
because the Haram is sacred.
The Haram is from.
It's from what Allah has communicated to us.
But the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
in these moments, when there is a good
opportunity,
he teaches people.
He doesn't hide anything from them.
And that's why it's very important in
the celebrity culture of imams in America
to be with the people.
If you're on stage, you give big,
conferences, you that's good.
But that's not the work. Well,
my wife, you know, we just had a
baby. I live in Silver's
Pride here and easy. But, I love
to be with a Muslim because that's how
we were we were raised in the nineties.
We learned in the masjids. We were taught
by the shuk in the masjids.
We were with the people in the masjid.
So you have to serve the people.
As the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
When they used to teach us
in Egypt,
tea is a very important thing.
And,
we would be studying the Khalil, and people
would come with
and ask Sheikh Yousefrios
from Puerto Rico, but from Philly.
Like, be with the people.
Right? If you if you got a big
Instagram following
and you're not in the masjid,
then you're not really like, who do you
serve?
You have to have experiences with people.
They teach you.
And we said here something also very important.
At the Sahaba, we learned the adab of
the salif
from the narrations of the hadith. How they
talk, how they ask questions, how they engage.
Somebody
asked the messenger of Allah. Sometimes
people ask about very sensitive subjects.
So they will say,
Some woman ask him.
Some man ask him. At that time, Medina
was very small. If you go to Medina,
you know, the white kind of tile on
the outside, that was the whole city.
Before you get to the hotels, the moving
pick and all that, that was the whole
city. So they all knew each other.
It wasn't possible. They didn't know who the
person was.
Why would they not mention their name
out of Edeb?
Maybe the person didn't wanna be known.
Maybe the person asked a sensitive question.
Maybe the person asked what many people would
be considered an uninformed question.
So they they have respect. They're not trying
to destroy each other, man. Even in their
narrations.
SubhanAllah.
So he said, the prophet salallahu alayhi salami
was asked, if somebody fights
for bravery or fights for, you know, to
be like known
to achieve sort of like, you know, to
protect
himself and others but without the intention or
somebody fights to show off.
The person said to him,
And here we learn something in the hadith
in the later period in Medina.
We begin to see a change in the
type of questions they ask.
Why? Because they're educated.
They they begin to ask questions about the
elal
and osule.
They start to ask, what's the reason for
it? And the prophet doesn't get angry. In
fact, he gets happy because it's an indication
that they've what?
That they've they've learned.
They're growing.
Which one of them is fighting in the
cause of
prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sama, said
Whoever fights so that that Allah's word
is high meaning sincerely for Allah. That's why
Nawi puts it here,
Then
that person
is exclusively that's why he says, for who?
Then say, for
who?
That's the only one
that fights sincerely.
We could take this at a micro level
and apply
Whoever makes
to be known,
who makes
for likes,
Which one of them are in the cause
of Allah? Who's the real
influencer?
So whoever makes for
Allah,
the person
is the one who caused to Allah. If
you post something on Instagram about Islam, and
you're busy checking the likes, that's not for
Allah. That's for you.
Well, like one time, I was with 1
brother
at kebab palace, man.
Khabab. And he kept checking his phone, man.
I thought the brother was under in trouble
or something, like, you know. And I said,
are you okay? Your wife mad at you,
bro? Everything all right at the house? He's
like, nah, man. I put up this post
about sincerity. I just wanna see how many
people like it. Sincerity,
but you wanna see if people like what
you posted. If it was for Allah, leave
it for Allah.
Abi Bakr, as we said earlier, was from
Ta'if.
He was a slave.
He escaped
and came to the prophet
and the people of Ta'if demanded he be
sent back.
And the prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, said,
how can I send back the one Allah
has emancipated?
And how can I send back the one
who was emancipated by the messenger of
Allah? As we mentioned also in the fitna
between Saydna Adi
and Muawiyah
Adi, he didn't get involved.
Muslim men.
Is not a noun.
It's a verb.
So I think the
Alifilam is the sign of a noun.
But if it doesn't have a after it,
it's not
So he said, if 2
Muslim men,
If 2 Muslims meet with their swords out,
then the killer and the killer are in
hellfire.
He said, I said, You Rasulullah,
That's that's the killer. But the one that
was killed,
how come he's in hellfire? The prophet says
he doesn't get angry.
So don't think earlier when I was, you
know,
talking about our behavioral management issues in this
classroom,
that I mind if you ask questions that
you disagree with me. I don't mind that
because I know I'm wrong.
Anybody who thinks they're right all the time
1 of our students one time with our
teacher, Sheikh, was talking about Tova. You may
talk about it today if you have time.
And that one of our brothers, he said,
Sheikh, well, I I don't feel I need
to make Tova.
And Sheikh said, you should make Tawba. He
said, for being dumb.
Only a dumb person would think he doesn't
need to make Tawba. So alhamdulillah, we don't
have that kind of we don't need to
create that kind of climate.
None of us are All of us have
something to share, something to give. Alhamdulillah.
So he said to the prophet, You Rasulullah.
Okay. Yeah. The one who killed, I get
it. But
what did the killer do? The process where
he didn't get angry at
him. We have to be very careful of
climate in American Muslim community.
Where asking questions is a sign of a
lack of respect.
No. Asking a question is a sign of
ultimate respect. People trust you enough to ask
you a question. Why you getting angry about
it? Don't be insecure with yourself.
The prophet said,
Prophet Rasool said, he intended to kill him.
And we take an important axiom from this.
From the 5 major axioms of Islam,
are that actions are by the intention
in Islamic law agreed upon by ali sunnah.
Maybe somebody asked, how come they're in hellfire?
Because they didn't have a chance to make
The one who died, he didn't have a
chance to make Tawba. Madad. He never repented
to Allah.
The next hadith from Abi Huraira
We talked about
a lot.
The prophet said that
a man who prays in the masjid,
that prayer
will be more rewarding
for him
than in his his place of work or
his residence
27 times
more award.
And that is,
Somebody makes wudu and they make wudu right.
They observe the fara'a
of wudu mentioned in Surat Al Maidah, verse
number 6.
And they observe the sunnah of wudu
and the fada'il of wudu.
The hadith continues. And then after they make
wudu,
they go to the Masjid.
Here we understand from this hadith subtle point,
it's good to make wudu in your house.
Then you go to the Masjid.
Masjid.
The prophet said, and this is why he
said, now now we put it here.
How many brothers just came to the masjid
sisters? You're like, you got
this hadith, you know?
Put this here? The only thing he wants
is prayer, and the only thing that pushed
him out.
To go out is. Was it going to
the masjid to argue with someone? Or, you
know, get some money,
whatever.
Never be surprised what people do.
Sometimes people's shoes get stolen in the masjid.
Brother came to find some new Air Jordans
or something, man. He didn't come for salah.
The only thing he wants
is salah. The only thing that encourage him
to go out
is
said that he will not take one step
except
he will be raised.
Raisem and the here after.
Masjid.
Every other step is a sin forgiven.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
That's why when people said, unmasked, I understand
that sentiment.
But if I go to the 3rd space,
is this gonna happen?
With respect.
Is that gonna happen with any place except
the masjid?
So our attachment to the masjid
is not only a material or physical attachment.
Our attachment to the Masjid
is because there are certain blessings associated with
the place
that are unique.
And that's why the people of the masjid
have to be blessed people
because they are representing that blessing.
Till he enters the masjid.
And if that person
enters the Masjid,
when they enter the Masjid, it is though
they are in salah.
That's very important. When we walk in inside
a Masjid,
If I have that intention, then I'm in
salah. That means I'm not gonna get involved
in anything
because salah has iham.
Salah has certain etiquette. So when I walk
into the masjid, if
I take this narration
that he's in salah because of his intention,
that I'm going to carry myself accordingly.
And the prophet said, as long as the
salah, you know, holds him and keeps him.
So if you come here from Maghrib, you
should sit and wait because this hadith
because the prophet said that the angels will
pray for any of you who sit in
the place that they prayed in.
And what will those angels say? You Allah.
Allah. The
The angels will say for you, Allah have
mercy on that person.
Oh, Allah forgive him.
Turn to him.
Why?
Allah turn to him.
Because actually,
as we'll talk about if we have time
tonight,
Tawba is the sign that Allah has already
turned to us.
Allah says that Allah turned to them, if
you translate it, so they would turn to
Allah. That's why Imam Ibn Qayyim
says something so nice. Said that that the
Tawba is a sign of Hidayah.
Like sometimes we wanna repent. We feel I'm
such a bad person. I'm so horrible.
I'm so evil because I feel I wanna
repent. No. No. The opposite.
Allah turned to them. He turned to them
with Hidayah and Rahma
and Anwar.
Allah opened their heart, dilated their mind, made
them aware of their own evil,
and they said, the only thing I can
do is turn to Allah.
So that's why I said,
turn to that person so they will turn
back to you.
As long as that person doesn't bother anybody.
As long as they don't harm or bother
people, that's that's why we have to be
very careful in the masjid.
We we can do
anywhere.
We are commanded to do it anywhere.
But don't forget,
A lot of people come to the masjid,
they don't know what maybe you know.
They they might not have that awareness. One
time, I was in Egypt. Egyptians don't get
mad at me for the story. Blooded, man.
You know, you're young. Got that kind
of
glaze to you. At least I did. I'll
speak about myself. The Oklahoma glaze, man. And,
Buffered was some East Coast.
So I was in a taxi and I
had a book by Imam Sayyuti.
Abdulrahman Sayyuti. Imam Sayyuti died 911 after hijri.
Rahimahullah.
So I was reading it, and this dude
was looking at me because he's like big
white dude reading Arabic, you know.
And he's like,
you go into the embassy? I was like,
no, I'm gonna work at the embassy.
You thought I worked at the embassy. You
know, he racially profiled me.
I said, No, I'm going to the Azhar,
man. He's like, Well, light. I said, Yeah,
yeah. I'm a student over there, man. I
don't work at the embassy.
Offended me.
And then,
he said,
what are you reading? I said, I'm reading
this book by
Imam Masiyuti.
He's like,
Where does he get the Khutba?
So then I got ingress. I said, man,
he died like 9:11 after he did, man.
Don't you know anything?
You listen to Amr Diya, blah blah blah.
I start going off on him, right? I
start giving him the blues.
He said to me,
he said, you know what, I didn't have
the time to study like you.
It's a good statement, man.
He said, you you you're being really hard
on me but look, I'm I'm I drive
a taxi, bro.
Then I took a lesson from that, man.
You know, I have a book
My Time with Taxis.
I learned a lot from them brothers,
man. Right? They have a lot to teach
you because they're they're like the barbers
of Egypt, the barbers in America. You know,
the barbers can tell you everything.
And
he said to me like,
have mercy on me. I don't know. How
am I supposed to know that,
man? You know, so people come in here,
you may see people make mistakes.
They don't know what you know, man.
We don't punish people till we send a
profit. So the default is kindness.
The default with the Muslims, when we're making
dua, is kindness. The default
with people that are openly doing something wrong
is firmness
that are not believers.
But with the believers in the masjid,
Even in our hearts,
Allah said to say,
if even your heart is harsh to them,
they will leave you.
If that's his heart, what about his tongue
and his actions?
As
long as he doesn't bother anybody or loses
his
This hadith is.
Why did and now we put it here.
That's why this hadith is here.
That the only thing he wanted
is Salah. Shala, we're gonna stop here and
we'll read the last hadith. And then after
we'll come back and read the last hadith
from the chapter.
And as we said earlier, we're going to
uncover where sometimes Imam Anawi
would be actually
hand copying
from the writings of Imam al Mundri, and
that sometimes caused some issues when he'd say,
Because al Mundri would make the mistake
and
But actually the would be to who? To
bazaar
Atermidi or Abi Dehwood, as we'll talk about
in the future. Inshallah. Of course,
doesn't take anything away from those people. Everybody
makes mistakes. Anybody looking for a perfect person,
they should read the seerah.
Everyone else is gonna make mistakes.
But this part also, when imam
When he would mention definitions of word, this
is of words, this is coming verbatim from.
If you go and look in that book,
you're gonna find the same exact phrase. And
also that shows you the humility
of Imam Anawi.
He didn't have to bring something new.
The next hadith, 1, Abil Abbas
This is the nephew of the Prophet
Also from Ahlibaitr Rasulillahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
Abdullah ibn Abbas.
His nickname is Habru al Ummah, the great
scholar of the Ummah.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he made du'a
for him
wa fakihahu
fiddeen.
Now the narration,
Oh, Allah.
Allow him the ability to interpret the Quran
correctly
and give him an understanding of religion. There
is, you know, in the market, it's called
tafsir ibn Abbas. Man, he didn't write that
book,
man. Somebody got paid.
He didn't write that book. Just like we
said last week.
Even
Serene's book of dreams even Serene didn't write
that. Even Serene was a Muhadith, his daughter
Aisha, is one of the greatest scholars of
hadith.
So somebody somebody went viral before we knew
what viral
was and made a lot of money from
Tasir ibn Abbas and
the book of dreams of
what's the difference between Hadith Qudsi
and the Quran?
The first
The wording and the meaning in the Quran
is the same. We have to be very
careful now as we talked about inshaAllah as
we When we read this, we're gonna read
with the qira'ah of Ibni Amr
because
This is a mistake in printing that people
make unfortunately. Everything now is printed in
and from Egypt. Egypt up until the time
of the Ottmans, who knows what was the
most popular in Egypt before the Ottoman in
Egypt before the Ottoman Empire.
So
Sayidina Imam Anawi, in the introduction to this
book,
it should be written in the of Ibn
i'mr, a demeshpi,
which in his time, was the most popular
on the face of the earth. Why? Because
of the Yom Owe dynasty was from where?
The head of the dynasty is where? In
Damascus. So that impact, even though they were
long gone by the time Sayna Imam Anawi
comes on the scene,
the impact is still there.
We have to be very careful.
Some of the rhetoric now that the imams
of Quran made it jihad.
People who say that are people that haven't
studied the qira'at
with the
Shaykh. Sayna Shatibi says in here's
So in a shout out, he says, there's
no chaos in the Quran.
Everything is narrated back to Sayna Al Akwan.
Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
But Sayna ibn Abbas
the qira of Imam Ibn Kathir,
not the tafsir Ibn Kathir.
Rahimullah.
Student of Imam
has 2 major reciters,
Kumble and Badri.
They're both of those total
That's why I said that to They
love
because Imam is what?
And he's originally from Palestine, but he was
raised where? In Mecca. So he used to
read with what?
Quran
So Abdulla ibn Abbas is in the senate,
point I'm making,
of Sayidina Imam Ibn Kathir between him and
Ibn Abbas is one person.
In Quran.
And this is Habro Ummah.
And the one that the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam said,
So don't get caught up as That's why
Shaltabhi says,
Like don't busy yourself. Just be with the
oomber of the prophet about the
Quran. Sayedee bin Abbas, he said, from the
prophet from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So the Quran, the meaning,
and the wording
is from Allah.
Hadith Qudsi, the meaning is from Allah. The
wording is from
Sayyidina Rasooli Allah.
The second
difference is you you don't have to have
to read hadith al Qudsi.
The third difference, you can't pray. Nobody can
say
That's only 4 Quran. So that's why we
call Al Hadith in general. In Surudin, it's
called
It's not recited.
There's no.
It's hard to translate.
It means blessed,
But it means blessed
But also for us there's a meaning.
What do you call a camel
that can go across the desert with nothing?
That's why when people get married, what do
you say?
Don't
say.
Actually, the word means a camel that's sitting
down.
You should say what? I know Egyptians, maybe
some of them don't like to say it.
What do you say?
So the correct thing is not
Unless you want to give them some camels,
it's okay.
Why? Sayna Imam Razi says because the word
Baraka actually comes from this word, this camel,
that doesn't need a lot.
So with our relationship with Allah, if we
say, Tabaraka,
I don't need a lot from Allah.
So just like the camel is
that doesn't need a lot to cross the
desert, we recognize
because
we don't need a lot to cross this
dunya if we have
Allah.
So you lose something in in English to
pixels ain't the same, bro.
Means that this is
Allah decreed
the good and the evil. Every good and
evil. Imam al Sunosi says, and in his
famous
and
good and evil is from Allah.
Sometimes Muslims that get caught up that Joel
Osteen stuff, boy.
Good is from God and evil is from
some from who? I I don't know. That's
shit, bro.
In our relationship with Al Qaeda,
to keep it simple,
we said,
That's why I said to Imam Sheikh Dardir
in his poem in Akhida.
He says
Everything that happens is decreed by Allah and
then measured by Allah.
Whatever has been measured for you,
You can't escape it.
So
everything good and bad that's gonna happen is
decreed
by Allah.
Maybe somebody says,
as we finish, but if Allah knows everything,
why should I try? Because he knows everything.
What do you mean?
If someone knows everything,
and I believe they know everything,
and they tell me to do something. If
I really believe they know everything, am I
gonna argue with them?
Or am I gonna listen to them?
I'm going to listen to them. So remember
this principle.
We cannot affirm
perfect wisdom
while questioning
the commands of Allah.
The past, in the present, in the future,
he
says about submit to it.
So you be safe.
He made all this very clear.
Inshallah, we're gonna stop here. We'll finish these
last two hadith after
every Tuesday.
Next week
we're gonna give
that in Bukhari and Muslim.
The in Bukhari is the sun shortest sunnid
on the face of the earth

We're gonna
This hadith is like hadith quitsi. We said,
And you can't make salat with it. And
you can't make salat with it. And you
can't make salat with it. And you can't
make salat with it. And you
And
you
can't
make

Muslim.
It's
a famous poem we had to memorize.
I told it to my daughter when she
was 4.
The challenge sometimes in America is we make
things bigger than they are, so we don't
accomplish more.
So he said the sign of this type
of noun is.
Which means all of the and all of
the Allah decreed it before creation.
And we said,
this is the belief in
said everything that happens is
Nobody can escape it.
And he made this clear to all of
the malaika that have all of these responsibilities
until the end of time.
And here's why put
this hadith
in this chapter.
Here, man doesn't mean anybody. It means just
anyone who says,
That's why some
they put this hadith under the section, the
special qualities only for the umma. The special
qualities only for the ummah.
Those blessed qualities
that are only for the ummah of the
prophet
So whoever intends
to do good
and doesn't do it,
Allah decreed for that person,
a complete good.
And whoever we have
we have 5 levels of thought
in Islam or consciousness.
The first
is
like these ideas that come and go.
After, is
start to lean
toward it.
Then I I start to really wanna do
it.
Then
then I
put it into play,
and then find it.
He has a great statement about like bad
thoughts.
He says,
be careful about ideas.
Because if you're not,
It became a desire.
He said at that time when it becomes
a desire, you should amputate it. Don't let
it grow.
Because if you don't do that, then it
becomes something that you want it. You really
begin to want it. You really begin to
want it. You really begin to want it.
You really begin to want it. You really
begin
to
want
it.
Said, so declare war on it.
It. Because if you don't, it becomes an
action.
And it will be impossible for you to
stop then.
It becomes a habit.
That's why Abuhamad
Imam
Abuhamad Al Qazari, he said the sin starts
with the idea.
And does an act on
it or does,
and acts on it.
Whoever in
will be rewarded from 10 to 700 or
infinite
times. This is a special blessing for the
believer.
Because sometimes, Chetan will come to us and
say, you know, you live you did you
didn't maybe you made Tobler when you're
like, I'm gonna make up for all those
years, that I've waited. By doing one good
And if I intend it and I don't
do it,
sincerely,
I get a complete.
Kamila.
Perfectly. SubhanAllah.
That's
why Imam Ahmed Ibluhambal,
when his son came to him and he
said, advise me, he said, yeah, oh my
son, always
Oh, my son, always just have a good
intention.
Because you get rewarded for it.
It. Then he continues,
Whoever intends to do bad and doesn't do
it, because sometimes we we say, man, I
have all these bad thoughts, man. All these
bad ideas.
All these bad thoughts. But as long as
we don't translate those bad thoughts into actions,
you
and Chaitan will try to tell you, if
you're so good, what do you think about
bad stuff? Because you're human beings, man. We
surround about bad stuff. It's very difficult.
Is that it amplifies what appeals to the
nafs.
Islam as a society
and Islam as a science, as a religious
science. As we'll talk about in the future,
its goal is.
Its goal is certainty
in Allah's existence.
The west,
largely its goal is the accumulation
of material
gain.
So therefore, it it's in its best interest
to amplify
what appeals to the nifs.
And Muslims are not
free of that.
Look at TikTok in China. Anyone know about
the rules TikTok in China? If you're under
14, you got 40 minutes a day.
Kicks you off.
You're only allowed to use TikTok from 6
AM to 10 PM.
And they have a different algorithm there.
Their 14 year olds, you know what they
see? Scientists,
mathematicians,
scholars,
nuclear physicists.
What our kids see?
Cats with balloons coming out their backside
filled with mouth mens and some stuff, man.
So there was a study done
recently on America's youth,
generation z. What is that you aspire to
be? You know what they said? Influencers.
They asked Generation Z in China, it says
Scholars.
And don't think just because we're adults, I
mean, when you walk into the octagon on
social media, the algorithm that's facing you,
It's
impossible to defeat that thing. So that's going
to create certain feelings, man. It's meant to
do that. People told me, every time I
go YouTube, I see what I don't agree
with. Exactly. Because they show you what you
agree with, some ACMRs. So they show you
what you agree with, some ACMRs. Gonna get
involved. You're not gonna get invested.
So people don't understand the game is that
actually it shows you things that they know
you don't agree with to trigger you to
force you to compel you. So
So we're in a world where I say
you at are everywhere, man.
It's hard, it's difficult, it's form,
abolmaase,
the form is name should be abolmaase. That's
around us all the time.
That's around us all the time.
So manhamabi
Whoever intended to do evil and doesn't do
it, We
talk
about, you
We talk about, you know,
income that we can accrue without work, that's
you can accrue without work. Every
day you should say, oh, Allah, every haram
that's happened in the face of the earth
today, I intend to
Then he continues,
SubhanAllah.
Whoever
intends to do bad and does bad, Allah
has recorded for that person one bad deed,
not a complete bad deed. It may not
be all of the punishment associated with it.
This is a very important hadith for chaplains
reject.
The hadith of
Because again, maybe I'm very old.
Maybe I missed Ramadans. Maybe I missed
my zakat. I need to make up for
that.
And I try my best,
but I know my shaw Allah, 10 to
700 times.
Versus one bad
deed.
The last hadith
we're gonna finish
is from
Just as we said earlier,
for those students here that are serious students.
We have students who like to argue,
students that come in as you,
and then people who wanna learn, man.
People wanna learn.
And doesn't mean we don't ask questions,
but I'm going to challenge you a little
bit.
We can't just cheerlead the community, man.
So there's something called mum not, minutarf.
A?
Means that a word doesn't accept
and in
We can go that way too.
I gave you one example earlier.
Why? Because
is a name.
Here, Omar because the form was called
very
young. Some say 10 years before Hijra, some
say 3 years before Hijra,
he he was born,
and then he went to the
battles on multiple occasions, and the prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Salamah, he turned him away. He was
very young.
Show shows you like his dedication.
And he spent a lot of time with
his father.
His father, Abdullah, Sayna Amrul Muhathab,
understood that parenting is about bringing children into
our being.
Check ourselves.
If you spend take 10 hours a day
in the restroom at home, it's probably because
you don't want your family in your being.
That's not a healthy place to be. I'd
rather be in the restroom than with my
family.
That's not it doesn't make sense.
But being a good father,
and I'll let the mothers talk to the
mothers. But being a good father is about
being present, giving the children the gift of
your presence. That's why it's called present, because
you give them a
gift. And it's not about how much time
it's about the quality of time we spend
with them.
Best thing we can do as fathers is
put our phone down.
He used to go everywhere with his father.
People used to get angry.
You rob.
He raised him. He understood this is a
man,
responsibility.
The best hood is for the
And he would encourage him, like the hadith
of the, of the date. But I was
scared to say it was the day tree.
He said, if you said it, it would
have been the most beloved thing to me.
Many of our are are the fruits
of their parents. Aisha Ben Shate from Egypt.
She died like a few years ago.
The most complete The most complete
The most the mokaddimah of Ibn Salah and
Hadith is from
Why? Because when she was young, her father
was a great scholar in the Azar. He
used to take her to all the classes
that he taught. And even the the Monaca
shirt,
the discussions with the. And she was there
playing as a as a girl, little girl
playing. And they used to say, why you
why you always bring this girl? But the
they used to say, why you why you
always bring this girl here?
But the Sheikh,
Allah gave him. And actually, she struggled with
Dean a little bit in her life. And
She
struggled. And she started to pull away from
the Dean until she my child, there
was one great
professor
in in Cairo. And she'd be and her
problem was she was too she was too
smart for everybody, man. She was a genius.
She memorized all these books that she heard
her father and these people talk about when
she was like 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
years old.
That's
why they're called Sahab.
Soaba in Arabic actually means to rub together
dirt like this. In the early 2000s, in
my dirties.
Right? That's very similar to what Sahabi means.
We're so close to each other, our dirt
rubs off on each other. That's actually the
meaning of sohopper.
So I should have been shot.
The the the
the handwritten
copy.
And she said, no. That's wrong.
That's wrong.
They said, how you know?
Then she start quoting a text,
just
word for word.
I said, who are you? She said, I'm
I should have been sheltered. My shit. Oh,
you're Yeah. That's your dad. Your dad was
a great scholar but So I memorized all
this.
So they found that she was the most
complete
she found that she was the most complete
and people on Instagram tell you, it sounds
off. You know you're in trouble, man.
She had the most complete
text by memory. Why? Because her father invested
in her. Very important to spend time with
our children if we can. And we're working.
We got bills. Inflation's
killing.
We're working. We got bills.
Inflation's killing. We all shopping our all these
now.
I understand.
Right? Costco is now cost up.
Daughter
We say an
Egyptian If you speak
Egyptian, you know what it means. A perfect
10. Said in English, that's a 10.
That brother that was a 10 that dunked
the Celtics did tonight on Embiid. That was
a 10.
Same Same thing in the Quran.
Why the Arabs call it?
Because when you live together with each other,
you should be a 10.
Look at the language, man.
Here,
Sayna Abdullah ibn Amrul Khatab,
he spent a lot of time with his
father.
There's only one regret
That,
Abdul ibn Amor Khotabi had in his whole
life. Who knows what that regret is? That
he didn't fight with
A. He refused to get involved.
But
at the end of his life,
he
was
as mentioned by
asking what makes
what's making you weep? He said, I didn't
join.
Meaning, I didn't have you thought it.
This kind of person, even his old age,
he still feels
he could have done more.
He said in this hadith,
in we said earlier,
that means
and it's from Bukhari and Muslim, it's the
most Sahih Hadith we can have.
That there was a group of people, 3
people before you.
He said,
they were forced
to spend the night
in a cave. This is something we talked
about the first lesson. The Arabs,
in their language, they like to name something
by what it does.
For example, bait. What do you call it
to bait?
We translate it as *, but that's where
you spend the night. Tabit?
If you learn that and you're not Arab,
you can start to learn Arabic very easily.
Because you remember, what does that do? Oh,
that must be the name.
Why is it called a?
Why is it called a man? Because a
man, he does what?
He stands up.
People.
Why they're called people? Because with a group
of people, we should have.
This is mentioned by Imamal Jorjani and Dalara
Tull Ejaz. Wish someday we can teach that
in America, man.
And in that book, he said, this is
the nature of the They named things about
what they do.
So here,
because the primary purpose of a house is
before the industrial error,
is to spin
There's a
number of, you
know, discussions
about
it, number of, you know, discussions about it,
but nobody really knows the meaning of, or
what happened that forced them to go to
that cave at night, but they had to
spend the night. They had to spend night
in this cave.
Also, we take a ruling from this
that if somebody stranded and they find somewhere
to sleep, they can stay like a and
they find somewhere to sleep, they can sleep
there. Like a cave or something. I don't
own this cave. I can't I'm lying. Just
handle your business, bro. Don't die in the
rain.
So
they went inside it.
And then a rock, a large
boulder
from the mountain came down. It
fell.
And it blocked him in the cave.
We're gonna talk about one thing and then
we're gonna finish inshallah because of time.
One of them said,
the only thing that's gonna save us is
we make dua
with some good that we did.
First guy, he says,
Here we have a very important principle in
in interpretation.
Actually, we learned the rules of interpretation before
we studied tafsir and hadith. In the Azhar,
before you read Quran and hadith, you learn.
In America, before you learn you read.
So our people get confused. I guess we're
going to see in this
gives us the lenses to interpret.
We learned the iman before We learned the
usu.
We learned how to understand the Quran before
we learned the Quran.
So here's something very important and we're gonna
finish inshallah.
And people, what's the first question they ask
you?
You
you read Surat Al Kahf. You start to
teach the test here. What's the first question
people ask?
One of our teachers. He got in a
taxi. It's a big, big beard. And the
taxi, Sheikh Abdul Sotari speaks perfect Arabic, man.
Said,
He said, He said, He said, He said,
I'm
he said,
you
are. He said, well, I'm not. He said,
You're still alive. You know that strange kind
of belief that's out there. This this this,
and then he pulled
out
his ID. He said, weed, man. He said,
no. No. No. You're just hiding yourself. This
is the way of the They like to
hide themselves. That's the way of the It's
the way of the.
They like to hide themselves.
That's the first question.
From Ethiopia, Michelle Obama.
Usually people ask what? What kind of dog
was it?
If it's not mentioned, don't worry about it.
Don't get busy with it. The proof of
this at the end of Solta Tarim, Don't
get busy with it. The proof of this
is the end
of
Look at the end of
where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about.
The wife of. Does he mention
in the about it just tells you that
their relationship couldn't save them. But the next
woman that he talks about, what happens?
It goes into detail about Miriam. Why?
Because she's important.
So sometimes it's okay to ask but try
to stay focused on on the issue.
And I know America likes to tell us,
well, you had the question, so it's valuable.
No, it's not.
Person
themselves.
And also the alternative is people don't ask
questions. That's another extreme. But here, look, it
says,
One of them said, oh, Allah, I had
very
both my parents were old, very
and what?
That's what that means. They were they were
big in their age, but weakened their physical
strength.
Here, we learned something from this how do
you the importance of respect and all parents.
And he says,
this man,
It's an interesting word.
It means, I didn't I didn't prepare the
the
the Inet. I didn't prepare
anything to drink
before them.
I didn't put any food or drink at
any vessel before them.
That's the meaning of it. He said That's
why he says,
Before them, my family or
means his slaves.
His servants.
We're gonna stop here but wanna explain something
very quickly that's very important about this hadith.
Because there are 2 parts of this hadith
that should cause all of us to say,
what? The first is this one.
He said
and I
want new couples to listen to this, and
and mother in laws and father in laws
to listen to this, because Malcolm X says
something very intelligent.
In laws are outlaws.
How many marriages we can destroy it by
the mother and father-in-law. I'm jealous.
She loves him more.
Want? Don't you want a woman to love
your son more than you? I'm so jealous.
My son, he treats her better than me.
But isn
he treats her better than me. But isn't
that a proof that you raised him right?
Shaytan. Shaytan plays with people, man. And this
how do you sometimes people use it? Office.
My son-in-law is so bad. My son is
so horrible. Why? Did you read the hadith
about this man? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
That's why you have to study before
Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's why you have
to study before
Hajid.
Because if you'd studied you
wouldn't make this mistake.
What did he say? He said, I had
2 old parents. I refused to serve anyone
before them. And one day, I went out.
I became very busy. I'm paraphrasing.
And I got back late. By the time
I got back late, my parents were sleeping.
So I milked the cow,
and I brought the vessels of milk to
my parents,
and I refused to wake them up.
And my children were crying at my feet.
They were crying.
Now, the nurses said they were at my
knees begging me, family anything to drink before
them and then they woke up
and they drank. Oh, Allah, if I did
this for your sake, then please remove the
stone
moved a little, but not enough for them
to get out. You have to be very
careful here, because this is what we call
a Sharia.
This
is their Sharia, not our Sharia. In the
In
the mosaic
Sharia,
in their law,
that your parents are given preference
to those that you take through contract.
But in Islam, the axiom is the opposite.
So we read this hadith we should not
and that's why we say it's not allowed
to take istimbat from this
It's not allowed to take a ruling from
this, because that's their Sharia. Our Sharia. Who
you married? Because you married with a contract.
Your children? Because Allah has entrusted them to
you. And that's why if we go to
the books of Islamic law,
if this kind of stuff happens,
people got rights.
And that's also Next week, we're gonna talk
in greater detail
about a Sharia
allah, if I did this if I did
this for your sake, they made
with this.
But I want us to leave because I
said I'm not gonna touch on a lot
of issues, but I know if like the
issues hot in the streets, right, we we
need to address
this.
Right? We we need to address this.
So in in the mosaic Sharia
that we know of,
That parents and, you know, who you're born
into, your family
is given preference to,
who comes into the family,
by rulings, by contracts, by
The Sharia of Sayidu Mohammed Salallahu Alaihi Wasallamah,
if we look at Islamic law, we do
a of
say.
If we do a of that,
So
your members
because people try to use this hadith to
beat you up. Say, wait a minute, that's
not for us, bro. The importance of this
hadith is intention,
not the
the same thing for the next narration, when
the man basically
tries to *
his cousin,
and he's not punished.
That's their Sharia. They didn't know our Sharia.
And my medic in the
he was asked about a man
who forces a woman financially
to have * with him.
And they're not married.
He said, what should happen? He said,
You had that.
He should be given the hat.
That's not this Sharia. That's our Sharia.
Now nobody going hurt nobody.
But the point I'm making here is,
now you see why I said what I
said before we started the hadith.
Before the
sometimes when you see people at the bookstore
with Bukhadi in English like, no, bro. Don't
read that, bro.
That's not for you, bro. That's the deep
lane, bro. People get arrogant. Are you trying
to say, I don't know nothing? Absolutely.
Sheck Doctor, one of our teachers in Esher
used to say,
It's allowed to say to someone, you're ignorant
if you know they don't know, and you
know.
So
here we see something, and it's not anyone's
fault. But
the
as we think about pedagogy in America, are
we teaching
to Muslims and high school students high school
students? We
teach them for a and you can see
something. Do we teach them
I can see something. Do we teach them
principles?
The
are important. Can't do this, can't do that,
not really Chick Fil A, this, this, this.
Yeah. That's important.
But at that young age, we have an
opportunity in Islamic schools
to layer the level of maturity they have
about
that's why I believe Riaud Salihin should be
taught at Muslim high schools. For
your
convenience, Riaud Salihin, sha Allah, won't take us
4 years.
We can see now what I just modeled
for you. Vygotsky, if you're a teacher,
to study the text without the lenses of
interpretation
creates problems for people. That's what I like
to tell people. You don't have a problem
with Islam. You have with a problem of
how you see Islam.
Imam Shaukani says,
There's no contradiction in Sharia. The contradiction is
in us.
And again, in a society where the alter
is the human being, it's very difficult for
me to say, maybe I'm wrong.
And the the challenge also of the left
is the left is at war with Islam,
the right is at war with Muslims. But
the left say,
will pull people away from Islam.
So, you know, the more you get close
to Islam, the more it's going to hurt
you as a woman. Didn't I just show
you right now, if you know this and
you're a woman, what did you just do
with yourself?
You just protected yourself. So actually, the protection
is where?
We're the deen.
And that's why sometimes the scholars are like,
where do Muslims go on all these other
isms? Messenger. But learning takes time. So I
wanna make this point very quickly. What I
text at least,
but not the text alone.
Because the text alone, we may misinterpret and
get scared. Man, how could he have done
this to his kids? My God. This is
horrible.
Call 911. Child protective service.
This is the Sharia before and the profit
is what? Rahmatal lil'alamin
and this change.
And now I have a mandate as a
Muslim to address this problem in my community
based on knowledge,
not on how I feel.
And next week, we'll talk about sexual assault.
Do you have to really have 4 witnesses
for *? How is that possible?
If apropos of methheb, any medj,
you find a tersob,
*.
It's not under
Where is * under? What chapter? In
injury.
And we saw some people's
even some years ago. If a woman says
she was raped or a man says he
was raped, they have to bring 4 witnesses.
If I'm being raped,
how do I have 4 witnesses?
And those 4 witnesses, then they should be
also what?
They should be punished.
So it doesn't make any sense. But when
ignorance
is out there,
so we
a person that's been sexually assaulted in the
Muslim community,
or been mistreated in the Muslim community? What
are the rules for that? Number 1, it's
not backbiting for them to tell somebody.
Number 2, it is an obligation to hide
their identity if it's a fact.
3rd,
The sin is removed from them.
Platform.
And that will come in the next hadith,
when this in part of this hadith, when
the man
forces
his cousin
to have sexual relationships with him, and she
said to him what?
But still this is sexual assault, and he's
not punished. In Islamic law, that would be
punished. That's the point I'm getting at. Why?
Understand what I just said now, this you
should write this down.
I should study
the of interpretation
before specifically the hadith about law
and
is gonna save me a lot of trouble.
A lot of trouble.
And I will have a much more enriching,
personal,
rewarding engagement with the text.
Oh my gosh, what's next? What's the next?
Because I know how to interpret. So next
week, insha Allah, we'll finish with this hadith
from this chapter.
About the prophet not being held accountable for
the previous Sharia's until he became a
and then what does it mean for us
to
be,
following the Sharia of those before us and
some mistakes people in
the because I know it's not it's not
hard. And also people are left alone.
How many MSAs they contacted
us?
Service. So also the Muslims in America been
left
is You go and do this interfaith work.
You don't have someone there to teach you.
So it's nobody's fault, but we'll talk about
it next week, inshallah. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes.
Absolutely. But
he's
following the Sharia Musa. It's in their Sharia.
Not ours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm
saying.
See now how it Yeah. Yeah. No. It's
a good it's a good question.
