Pearls.
We've reached the section now on prophethood and
we've been reading from it and he says
It is an obligation to believe. It
is an obligation to
believe, a detailed belief, I'm gonna talk about
that in a second,
in every one of the prophets.
Then he conditions it. It is an obligation
to believe,
specifically if you will,
exclusively
in those prophets mentioned in the Quran, in
the authentic hadith. We have to believe in
those prophets.
So we affirm that belief in them. Mentioned
in the Quran,
we believe in them. In authentic hadith like
Sayid Namusa and Bukhari, we believe in them.
As for
other prophets,
as for those prophets that we don't know
about,
that are not mentioned in the Quran or
in the sunnah,
that we believe them in a general way.
Allah says,
Allah said to the prophet in the 4th
chapter of the Quran, Sur
Nisa, there are some prophets we informed you
about and others we didn't inform you about.
That
brings up a third question. Can we theorize
Would this person say like Buddha
or Marco Polo
or whoever
these people, prophets,
the answer is no.
So for those that
there's like speculation,
there's no in any of this. All this
is from Allah.
So what we're affirming here are those prophets
that have been affirmed
in the knowledge we have from the Quran
and Sunnah,
and we also affirm generally
those prophets that Allah knows their prophets and
sent them, but which we don't know of.
And then the third is la ichjihad.
There's no ichjihad in this issue.
We're not saying oh maybe this person is
a prophet or this person is a prophet
or this la you sheikh.
La
And of course the true reality is that
we know there's a lot of different opinions
about how many prophets there were. The only
one who knows their true number is Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Maybe some mentioned, but in
this hadith it mentions this number that were
made known to the Prophet. Well, but Allah
says
there are other problems we didn't tell you
about.
So that includes those he knew about not
those he didn't know about.
And
it is an obligation upon you to know
that it is obligatory
to believe about the prophets
It is an obligation to believe that the
Prophets were truthful in everything they said.
It was
related to the sharia.
And here you see
in the text.
It's better after to use m.
Allah
says in Surat Baqarah Baqarah verse number
6
not al.
Al Adiyyah, but the point here is that
we have to believe that the prophets were
truthful in what they said,
whether it was related to Sharia or to
the regular life. And this this is a
designation the sheikh is Maliki, so we know
that in the Maliki Madhhab, and we're gonna
teach this in the future, there
is a designation of the sunnahs which are
related to the Sharia and the sunnahs which
are called ghayrutashrayiya,
not related to the Sharia.
Lakin, in all of those things, the prophets
were truthful.
And the proof he said of this is
that they had miracles. The word
is from ajaza. Ajuuz is an old person,
an old woman specifically,
who's incapable of functioning physically.
So
and I talk about this in essentials of
Islamic faith. Right? It's in the book, I'm
too weak to do something.
So the majeza is something which people cannot
do.
It goes beyond normal physical laws.
Right? It's it's it's something that goes beyond
what we understand to be normal.
That Allah has created and caused to happen
at the moment someone begins to
become a prophet and deliver the message.
With
the condition that it is impossible for someone
to
oppose a miracle of a prophet with something
which is equal to that miracle.
Prophet and supporting that prophet to say
everything that my servant, that prophet,
has taught and delivered is the truth on
my behalf.
Like the splitting of the moon,
the the tree walking
and
the stones making tasbih in the hands of
the prophet and
the revelation of the Quran to Sayl al
Aqwan
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam all of these are Maajizat.
The best book written on Maajizat
is the one written by Fakhruddin al Razi
Radiallahu Anhu in his book Ismatul Ambiya. Section
there is amazing.
And we believe that the prophets are
the recipients exclusively of Isma, Isma Khafa.
What does Isma mean? The Sheikh, he says,
wahiya.
The mustar can act as a verb sometimes.
So the sheikh, he says that Usma is
that Allah has protected
their inner and outer states, their physical acts,
and their inner emotions and feelings and psychological
states
from disobedience to Allah, major or minor forms
of disobedience.
Said that Allah
has commanded us to completely follow them
and what they say and what they do
without any exceptions. So that's an evidence, mashallah,
because why? Allah does not command us to
follow
evil.
Says Allah does not command you to do
evil.
So
Allah is commanding us to follow them is
the greatest evidence that they have isma,
that they have been protected from evil.
Allah
Allah says regarding the right of the Prophet
upon us that we should follow him so
that we will be guided.
Allah says in Surat Ani Imran that the
prophet says, Allah says that the prophet says,
follow me, Allah will love you.
Same verse I mentioned earlier. The Sheikh says
Allah doesn't will not command us to follow
evil.
If you go to the 7th chapter of
the Quran verse number 28,
and Allah says
Allah
in verse
number 7. He says, whatever the prophet brought
you, you must follow it.
Fakhudu,
cling to it. And whatever he prohibited you,
you must avoid it and stay away from
it.
And all of the Prophets are like him,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in disregard.
Meaning they all have ishma.
And
it is indeed an obligation to them also.
That they conveyed everything that Allah commanded them
to convey to to the Khalk,
to creation.
Allah says, the most high,
Allah this verse you should memorize, Surah Al
Ma'ida verse number 67:
O Messenger
convey
which is means an aam,
everything which has been revealed to you
from your Lord.
Because if you don't,
then you have not conveyed his message. There's
a different kira, say in the shaaba and
'alsim,
Right? When we find the at at at
alifta,
as the ibnomadic mentions alafi' that means it's
plural. So there's 2 ways to read this.
You have not conveyed
his message or
his messages because to fail to communicate even
one part of the message
would be to fail to
convey all
of the messages of the prophets, because the
prophet is
And all of the prophets are like him
in this regard. They conveyed what Allah commanded
them to to convey.
And it is an obligation for us to
believe in
means
superintelligence.
We believe that about them.
Because their job is to establish the proof
that Allah exists.
To defeat those who would argue that.
And the evidence for this of course is
found in the Quran, the Sunnah, and the
consensus.
And it is impossible for us to believe
regarding the rights of the prophets, may all
of them be upon them all be peace,
that they would lie.
And as far as like for example people
break up sometimes the stories of Sayyidina Ibrahim
when he say to
protect
know, his wife,
he said she's my sister.
You know, I'm sick, he said to his
his his followers.
When they asked him who did that to
idols, he said, ask the big one,
ask the big one.
So maybe somebody says, see here, they have
and they would think, oh, the prophets are
lying,
to protect his family.
Again for the sake of the dawah in
this
situation, and he wants to teach a lesson
and to bring betterment to the people. And
this this
statement is not going to harm anybody.
In order again to teach them.
As I said earlier, sheikh, he said that's
not the the end reality is not lying.
This is from the use of the figurative
to teach and to bring about a greater
point.
He said, and it's impossible for them to
commit any sins, major or minor. This is
the opinion of the minority of Ahlus Sunnah,
but it is an opinion of Ahlus Sunnah.
There are 2 major opinions.
Inwardly or outwardly.
And it is impossible for us to believe
that they hid something which Allah commanded them
to,
you know, share with the people.
Now, and he says the evidence that these
things are not permissible to believe is that
you cannot believe, for example, that the prophets
were intelligence and then intelligent and then accept
the fact that they were ignorant. You can't
believe that they conveyed all of the message
that they were commanded to and then they
hid something. So the opposites
make it impossible for you to accept those
Mustahilat.
Fee morah tv him.
Al ariyah a naboyani.
And it is impossible
for us to believe regarding the rights of
the prophets.
It is excuse me.
It is possible that we believe
As long as it does not
conflict with our roles as prophets
or cause us
cause anyone to suspect,
to compromise, if you will, the roles as
prophets.
So they ate. They
drank.
They they were hungry.
They became thirsty.
They used the restroom.
They also
experienced like defecation.
And that they they they had sexual relations
in the Halawih.
Like all of these kind of general things
that people experience in life, they experience death,
life, illness, sickness, businesses, forgetfulness, sleeping, all those
things.
But Sheikh Marzouk says
which we'll study inshallah. Sheikh Marzouk says, it
is possible for them to experience these things
as long
as their roles as prophets was not compromised.
