Alhamdulillah, if it's not that straight, it's okay,

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

isn't it?

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

With the will of Allah, today we are

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

going to have a look at the Qur

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

'an and how the verses in the Qur

00:00:35 --> 00:00:41

'an are mainly and almost always connected to

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

the Divine Names, which I find to be

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

very special and intriguing.

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

Because when we look at Aqidah today, we

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

see that Aqidah is disconnected from Fiqh.

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

Like the names of Allah, when you think

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

about Fiqh, you don't think about the Divine

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

Names.

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

But when we look at the ayat in

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

the Qur'an that have everything to do

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

with Fiqh, like signing contracts, like marriage, like

00:01:05 --> 00:01:10

divorce, like inheritance or inheritance, whatever, all these

00:01:10 --> 00:01:15

ayat in Fiqh are usually connected to Allah's

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

names.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

And now when we read Fiqh very often,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

it is disconnected from the names of Allah,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

which is very special.

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

Why?

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

Firstly, we want to ask ourselves the question,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:33

are these Divine Names connected to the verses

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

of Fiqh?

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

Because we as Muslims, we grow up, and

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

me as a convert, I'm a Muslim too,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

so we as Muslims, we grow up reading

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

the Qur'an, but we never ask ourselves

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

questions.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

Like if I were to look at my

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

bank account, and I would see that there

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

is £50 missing, I would start an investigation.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

I said, I didn't spend £50.

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

Where has it gone?

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

Hello, can you help me?

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

Can you help me out?

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

I would even go to a judge for

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

£50.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

So meaning that little, small, tiny amount of

00:02:09 --> 00:02:13

money, I would really want to find out

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

where it went.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

But where did the meanings of the Qur

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

'an go?

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

How many people, from the moment they were

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

Muslims, really invested some of their time, not

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

all of their time, some of their time,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

to study the Book of Allah.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

And this is one of the main problems

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

and the main issues today.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

It is when Allah said in the Qur

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

'an, كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِيَتْدَبَّرُ آيَاتِهِ

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُّ الْأَلْبَابِ He said, a Qur'an

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

that we have sent down upon you, O

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

Muhammad, and it is a blessed book.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

The problem is when we start with English

00:02:52 --> 00:02:57

terminology, or any terminology, translating the Qur'an,

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

then we will never be able to give

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

its due.

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

This is the first thing we have to

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

know.

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

The Qur'an can't be translated.

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

That's impossible.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

So this is why it's very wrong to

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

call this a translation of the Qur'an.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

It is an interpretation of the one transmitting

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

it in another language.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

It's not Qur'an.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

And this is why our Fuqaha are very

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

clear, that you can't read the Qur'an

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

in another language than the Arabic language during

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

prayer.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

One of the opinions of Imam Abu Hanifa,

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

may Allah have mercy on him, he mentioned

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

that Abu Hanifa left that opinion, who said

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

you can read Fatiha in Persian, if you're

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

not able to read it in Arabic, but

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

he left that opinion.

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

So the opinion is not even there.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

So we can't translate the Qur'an.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

It is one of the possible meanings of

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

the Qur'an, but wait.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

We all know that there is more than

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

one Qira'ah, isn't it?

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

And more than one Riwayah.

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

We have Warsh, we have Hafs, we have...

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

So why do they say a translation, which

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

is already wrong, of the Qur'an?

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

No, of Hafs.

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

We became so negligent of the Qur'an

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

that we don't even have...

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

when people translate the Qur'an, there is

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

no methodology.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

Like when you make a choice to translate

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

it, was your grammar the grammar of the

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

people of Kufa or the people of Basra?

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

And why did you choose this and not

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

that?

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

They do it with all the books apart

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

from the Qur'an, because Shaitan is there.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

If we connect to the Qur'an like

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

we are supposed to, our souls will go

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

around the Kaaba before we pray.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

This is figuratively speaking, OK?

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

I'm not really saying you're...

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

So we need to go back to the

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

language of the Qur'an, and like one

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

of my teachers in Al-Muallaqat, these beautiful

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

Arabic poems once said, like the Qur'an

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

was revealed in the midst of the most

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

eloquent Arabs ever.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:03

The Arabs would say a tribe is strong

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

when they have three things.

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

One would be a soothsayer, a sahir.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

Another one would be a faris, like a

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

horseback rider, a horse rider, that would be

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

very good.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17

And the third one would be a shair,

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

would be a poet.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

If one of these three was missing, then

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

the Arabs would consider this tribe to be

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

weak.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

These people, they would engage in war, and

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

before engaging in war, they would actually, what?

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

Engage in poetry.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

Like one would be here, like the enemy

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

would be here, you would be there.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

Before even raising the swords, like Hussain ibn

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

Thabit, for example, the shair of Rasool Allah

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

ﷺ and Abdullah ibn Rawaha and so forth,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

when the messenger ﷺ said to his companion,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

go, because your words, he was a poet,

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

your words are stronger than our spears.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

Your words are stronger than our spears.

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

So they would go, and then when they

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

would, you know poetry, Islam poetry, like today

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

they have battles, isn't it?

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

Spoken word and this and that.

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

So they would go, and if you were

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

able to humiliate the poet, you were about

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

100% sure that you would win the

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

battle.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:20

This is how strong language was at the

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

time.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

So now, these Arabs, they used to write

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

and they used to engage in war for

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

eight months during the year.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

And then we have the Ashur al-Hurum.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

Hurum, what do you hear in it?

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

Either exalted, sacred or haram.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

And during these four months, they wouldn't engage

00:06:39 --> 00:06:39

in war anymore.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:45

So in these months, like for example, today

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

is the last day of the month.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

I will be fighting you.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

Tomorrow it's from Ashur al-Hurum.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

Hello, how are you?

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

Everything all right?

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

This is what the Arabs were like.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

So now if you know this, and that

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

the Arabs would get together, there would be

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

a caravan every year during the Ashur al

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

-Hurum where people would party, they would drink,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

they would dance, make music.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:11

But the climax, the climax of the happening

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

was the poets of each tribe getting together.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

Everybody was waiting for this.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

There was horseback riding, camel race, wrestling.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

But the poets, everybody was waiting for them.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

Because the poets were so important that the

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

tribe would spend money on the poet to

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

prepare a poem once a year.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

You see, language.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

Everything there was about language, about poetry.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

So now when they would get together during

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

these months, at the end, the winning tribe

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

was honoured during that year.

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

Their poet won the game.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

And then they would stand one next to

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

the other, one in front of the other,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

and they were answering and replying, answering and

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

replying, and they were never allowed to use

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

the same word at the end of a

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

sentence.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

And this could go on for hours.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

The Arabic lexicon is the largest.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

It's the most rich in words.

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

So now they would come together, do this,

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

and when the poems were very strong, they

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

would hang it on the Kaaba.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

Because the Kaaba was honoured for them.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

Because there were still some parts of the

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

religion of Ibrahim, even though it was a

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

bit altered, a lot actually, with shirk and

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

so forth, but they would hang it on

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

the Kaaba.

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

And this is what mu'allaq means, something

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

which we hang onto something.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

So the best poems, they would take them

00:08:44 --> 00:08:44

and hang them.

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

Some they say there are three mu'allaqat,

00:08:47 --> 00:08:48

and that's a very strong narration.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

Some say there are seven, others they say

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

there are ten.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

The ten mu'allaqat, some say mu'allaqat

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

al-asr, some say mu'allaqat al-saba'

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

and some say mu'allaqat al-thalath.

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

Imam al-Zamzami, may Allah have mercy on

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

him, he has a very large explanation.

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

Someone who wants to become strong at the

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07

Arabic language has to read the mu'allaqat,

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

understand them, dissect them, and breathe them.

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

Why?

00:09:13 --> 00:09:17

My teacher in mu'allaqat, Dr Abdullah al

00:09:17 --> 00:09:24

-Masri, he was asking us to give a

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

sharh, an explanation of the mu'allaqat.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

When you read these mu'allaqat, you actually

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

think that you don't know Arabic.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:36

You read them, if I were to give

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

it to you now, and you understand 30

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

% of it, apart from min and ila,

00:09:41 --> 00:09:46

the words, and you understand 30%, become my

00:09:46 --> 00:09:46

teacher.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

I will pay you per hour.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:49

Someone?

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

So what I'm trying to say is, he

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

said, if you master the mu'allaqat, only

00:09:59 --> 00:10:04

then, only then, will you be able to

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

be astonished from the language of the Qur

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

'an.

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

Because the Arabs were so strong in language,

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

but when the Qur'an was revealed, look

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

at the importance they gave to language, but

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

when the Qur'an was revealed, they were

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

not able to come with one ayah.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

They were able to write mu'allaqat, engage

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

in war with poetry, and when we read

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

it, because we are, I am, and people

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

like me, and us maybe, we are ignorant

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

of the Arabic language.

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

We look at qul huwa allahu ahad.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

What's about qul huwa allahu ahad?

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

Okay, it's from Allah, good, but what's special?

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

qul huwa allahu ahad, khalas.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

Why couldn't they come with the same thing?

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44

Because when they saw this, they said, this

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

is not qawnul bashar.

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

Subhanallah.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

They knew that it weren't the words of

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

a human being.

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

This was how strong the Arabic language was.

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

This is not qawnul bashar, this is from

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

a sahir, or a shaytan is inspiring him,

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

or he has stolen it from other tribes

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

and religions, but they said this, there is

00:11:07 --> 00:11:13

tilawa and halawa, they knew it, but they

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

didn't want to give up their power.

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

You see this?

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

So now, when you know that this was

00:11:19 --> 00:11:24

the strength of the Arabic language, and that

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27

these people weren't able to reproduce one single

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

verse, what does that mean?

00:11:31 --> 00:11:35

That the miracle of the Quran is not

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

primarily a scientific miracle.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

It is the miracle that God of all

00:11:42 --> 00:11:47

spoke to men, to mankind, to man, to

00:11:47 --> 00:11:53

mankind, and that the very proof it being

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

from Allah is in the words itself, in

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

the construction of the sentences.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

This is not human.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

law kana min indi ghayri Allah If it

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

were from someone other apart from Allah, la

00:12:07 --> 00:12:11

wajadu feehi ikhtilafan kathira then they would have

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

perceived and found within the Quran many contradictions.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:20

Once I was in Fez, and I saw,

00:12:20 --> 00:12:26

there was an Arabic language teacher, and he

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

said, at a certain point, I fell very

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

low in my Iman.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

I left faith.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

He said, because I was just a cultural

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

Muslim, and I heard so many things about

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

the Quran, I started doubting.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

He said, but I'm an Arabic language teacher.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

I'm very strong in Arabic.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:46

And someone told me, why don't you look

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

at the linguistic aspect from the Quran to

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

revive your faith?

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

He said, how is language going to revive

00:12:52 --> 00:12:52

my faith?

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

He said, I challenge you.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

So he went and did research.

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

He said, I was looking for one grammatical

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

mistake, one wrong sentence construction, one word that

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

could have been better replaced by another, and

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

I didn't find one.

00:13:09 --> 00:13:13

He said, and I recovered my Iman through

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

language in the Quran.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

This is the importance of language.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

Primarily, why do we say ayah?

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

Ayah means a sign.

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

Every verse is a sign that God has

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

spoken to us.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

It's a sign.

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

You see?

00:13:31 --> 00:13:36

So, if we look from this perspective at

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

the Quran, then we know that we really

00:13:39 --> 00:13:44

need to get things going and to really

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47

start learning the Arabic language until we become

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

very strong.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

And then we look into the Quran, and

00:13:51 --> 00:13:57

you read, I'm just going to give you

00:13:57 --> 00:13:57

an example.

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

Here from Surat Ar-Rum.

00:14:00 --> 00:14:02

I'm going to take it here.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

So I'm taking the Quran so I can

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

tell you which verse number.

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

This is one thing I regret.

00:14:08 --> 00:14:11

When I memorized the Quran, I didn't memorize

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

verse numbers.

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

The majority don't do that.

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

But now, if my son, Laith, is going

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

to memorize Quran, then he has to memorize

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

it with the verse numbers.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:28

Like he would go, He's not just going

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

to say Rum.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

He's going to say, Okay, I lost it

00:14:31 --> 00:14:31

here.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:33

Rum 34.

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

People that preserve the word of Allah.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:40

Can you imagine?

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

Lately, I was talking to my wife, and

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

we were talking about the Quran.

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

And then we said, SubhanAllah, the Quran is

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

so strong that even people that don't memorize

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

the entire Quran, that which they memorize, they

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

defend it with their minds.

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

If I were to say, Right or wrong?

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

Wrong.

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

Why?

00:15:03 --> 00:15:03

Alhamdu.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:04

Right?

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

Unless you say, No, it's one of the

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

four Qiraat of Shahada from Hassan al-Basri.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:09

But we're not asking that.

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

So you would protect it.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:13

Right or wrong?

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

Wrong.

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

And this is one of the reasons why

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

the Quran was first memorized and then written

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

down.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

If it would have been written down, people

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

wouldn't have memorized it, and nobody would have

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

known if there was something wrong in the

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

Quran.

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

The other scriptures, they were written down before

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

they were memorized.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:34

So now, when it was memorized first and

00:15:34 --> 00:15:35

then brought to those who memorized the Quran,

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

they were all testifying, This is right.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

This is right.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

You forgot to mention something.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

So this is the miracle of the Quran,

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

that even people that don't understand the Arabic

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

language, they memorize 604 pages.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

Isn't this sufficient as a proof that the

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

Quran is from God?

00:15:53 --> 00:15:57

Tell me, who can literally, apart from people

00:15:57 --> 00:16:00

with a photographic memory, which is the minority

00:16:00 --> 00:16:04

amongst the minority of the minority, who is

00:16:04 --> 00:16:09

able to memorize a vowel text, not making

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

a mistake between wa and fa?

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

None?

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

And u and a?

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

604 pages in the name of God.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

This is a miracle.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

And this is what Allah SWT promised, وَلَقَدْ

00:16:23 --> 00:16:27

يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِذِكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُتَّكِرٍ And we

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

have made the Quran easy for you to

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

memorize, to understand, to learn, but who wants

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

to?

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

Wanting is doing.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:39

And the moment you start doing, Allah will

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

start giving.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

If you want to memorize the Quran now,

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

Wallahi, I promise you, you will memorize it.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

If you want it, Allah makes it easy.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:49

But wanting is not wishing.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

It's a very big difference.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

I would really like to make some money.

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

Yes, I would like to.

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

But now you start working, you say, now

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

I believe you.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

When you wake up before Fajr, an hour

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

before Fajr, saying half a page a day,

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

three ayat a day, and you do it

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

consecutively 40 days, then it will become a

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

habit.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

If you do something for 40 days, it

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16

becomes a habit.

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

But people usually keep up for a week

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

and a half.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

That's it, 10 days.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

Goldfish, memory of 10 seconds, we eat 10

00:17:24 --> 00:17:24

days.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

We can hold on to something.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:31

Now they said that we forget that goldfish

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

can focus longer than we can due to

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

the usage of social media.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:39

Our focus is a mess.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, this, this,

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

this, all the time.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:44

We forgot how to focus.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

And this is also why we don't advance

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

spiritually.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

Because we are so used to change our

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

focus, and getting to Allah is in need

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

of focus.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

Studying is in need of focus.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

It's boring today to stay focused on one

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

still thing, on one thing.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

People divorce because marriage becomes boring.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

People stop with a certain sport because it

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

becomes boring.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

Everything is boring apart from this.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, all the time.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

Yes, here we go.

00:18:13 --> 00:18:16

So, to come back, the Qur'an, the

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

language of the Qur'an, is the primary,

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

the real miracle of the Qur'an.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

Within it we find the fact, the fact.

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

Science is not facts, it's theory.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

The fact that Allah has spoken to us.

00:18:33 --> 00:18:37

So now, what I want to do is

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

the following.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:44

I want you and myself, until next week

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

we have a class, or is this a

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

fortnight class?

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

Next week.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:52

So I would like to use this week,

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

what you are going to do, you are

00:18:54 --> 00:18:57

going to read the Qur'an randomly.

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

Meaning you just open a page, and you

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

read it.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

And then you're going to look for Allah's

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

names in the Qur'an.

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

Okay?

00:19:08 --> 00:19:11

When you do this, you are going to

00:19:11 --> 00:19:15

look at the context wherein these names were

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

mentioned.

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

And then I want you to make a

00:19:18 --> 00:19:23

connection between the verse and the names.

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

Is that clear?

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

So that we read the Qur'an attentively,

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

focused.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:29

Because now we just read it, and these

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

names are there, but it doesn't do anything.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

And the reason why we read the Qur

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

'an, usually it's for the barakah.

00:19:34 --> 00:19:36

Oh, it has been two weeks that I

00:19:36 --> 00:19:37

didn't read the Qur'an.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

Let me read some Qur'an.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

SubhanAllah, don't you feel, my wife, my son,

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

my daughter, whatever, that the atmosphere in the

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

house has changed.

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

Oh yes, let us read some Qur'an.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:47

I have a headache.

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

Oh, let me read some Qur'an.

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

I think I'm possessed.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:51

Let me read some Qur'an.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

I want to get married.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

Let us read some Qur'an.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

Somebody died.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

Let us read some Qur'an.

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

It's just barakah, barakah, barakah, barakah, but the

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

barakah of the Qur'an is in understanding

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

and practice.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:02

That's where the barakah is.

00:20:02 --> 00:20:05

And this is exactly that which we as

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

Muslims don't seem to understand.

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

We focus so much on tajweed.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

And you can say, but this is important.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

Well, I know I have 10 qiraat, 14

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

qiraat.

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

So I'm not saying it just for the

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

sake of it, but we are so much

00:20:17 --> 00:20:22

focused on tajweed, which is important, and on

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

voices, and on tunes of how to read

00:20:26 --> 00:20:29

Qur'an, that we just forgot the essence

00:20:29 --> 00:20:33

of the Qur'an, which is understanding and

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

practicing.

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

If there is no understanding of the Qur

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

'an, there is no practicing of the Qur

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

'an.

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

And without the Qur'an, you have no

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

connection whatsoever with Allah SWT.

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

The Messenger of Allah said, like in Sahih

00:20:47 --> 00:20:50

Muslim, he said, this is Allah's rope.

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

Hold on to it.

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

And then in the Jam of Imam Suyuti

00:20:54 --> 00:20:59

narration, one is on Allah's end, and the

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

other one is on your end.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

So hold on to it, because then you

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

will never go astray.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

When you hold on to the Qur'an,

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

you will never go astray.

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

And this Imam Ghazali, rahimahullah al-azwajal, ihya

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

al-muddin, he made something very, very clear.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:17

He said, when you read Qur'an, there

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

are two types of people that read Qur

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

'an.

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

We're not even talking about the barakah people.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

No, the barakah people, but people that really

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

read Qur'an, two types.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

The one who says, I'm going to read,

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

so Allah can listen to me.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33

Allah, listen, I'm about to read your word.

00:21:35 --> 00:21:35

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

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

I'm reading.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

He said, the other one is saying, I'm

00:21:39 --> 00:21:44

sitting, I'm nothing but a means, through which

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

I will listen to God.

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

Is the difference clear?

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

So you are reading, but you're actually listening

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

to what Allah has to say.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

Your voice is created, but everything which, the

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

meanings that come out of your mouth are

00:21:57 --> 00:21:57

not.

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

It's just your voice.

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

You are listening to Allah.

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

And if you read Qur'an like that,

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

or like this, then bi-idhnillahi subhanahu wa

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

ta'ala, it will be a transformative reading,

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

a transformative recitation.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:15

And this is why Abdullah ibn Abbas said,

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

it's more preferred to me to read Surah

00:22:19 --> 00:22:24

Zilzalah slowly than to read all Surah Al

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

-Baqarah, in another narration, all the Qur'an

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

very quickly.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

In the time of Umar radiAllahu anhu, they

00:22:30 --> 00:22:33

would consider someone having memorized Al-Baqarah and

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

Al-Imran to be a scholar.

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

Why?

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

Because it wasn't about reading.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

They would memorize and practice.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

Abdullah ibn Sa'ud radiAllahu anhu said, we

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

used to come to the Messenger salAllahu alayhi

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

wa sallam and we would take from him

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

five ayat.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

Five ayat they would take from the Messenger

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

salAllahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

Then we would leave him.

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

We would memorize it.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

Then we would understand it.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

Then we would practice it.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

Then we would invite towards it.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

And then we would come back for five,

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

maximum ten verses.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

Now, we all want to memorize.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

Which is good.

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

But the majority doesn't.

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

I'm sorry, the majority of people saying, I

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

want to memorize, they never do.

00:23:25 --> 00:23:26

The people that don't talk are the ones

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

that do.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

If you want to memorize, you don't say,

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

I would like to memorize.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

That's not someone who's going to memorize.

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

Someone who is already memorizing, say, I want

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

to finish, that is someone who's going to

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

memorize.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:39

Is the difference clear?

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

Now we're all people with books under our

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

arms and saying, I would like to memorize.

00:23:45 --> 00:23:46

It won't happen.

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

Get started.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

It doesn't matter how long it takes.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

Even if it's 17 years, so what?

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

But because when I say 17 years, what

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

goes through many minds is, oh, that long?

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

But the problem is we're already saying for

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

20 years or 17 years or five years

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

that we want to memorize the Qur'an

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

and we don't.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:07

This is from Shaytan.

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

That he says, 17 years.

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

These 17 years will pass anyway if we

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

live.

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

So at least you don't miss out.

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

One verse a day, 17 years.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

Two verses a day, eight years and something.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

Wouldn't you like to be a hafidh in

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

eight years?

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

You're already saying eight years that you want

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

to be a hafidh.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

Well, two verses a day.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

Everybody can do two verses a day.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

Two verses a day.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

Quloo laaha hatta allahu sanat.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

Khalaas, I'm going to sleep now.

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38

If you were to sleep 23 hours and

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

two verses a day, you're having the kitabillah.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

You can sleep 23 hours.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

Bismillah, one hour.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

You wake up, eat up.

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

Pray, you have to pray as well.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

You wake up for your prayers, seven times

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

five, 35 minutes, half an hour, awake.

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

Khalaas, you're hafidh.

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

The people say, how did you do that?

00:24:55 --> 00:24:56

How many hours?

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

You say, I was sleeping for 23 hours.

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

They won't believe you, but it's true.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

So this is how easy it is.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:08

I might be exaggerating a little bit, but

00:25:08 --> 00:25:09

it is not as difficult as you think.

00:25:10 --> 00:25:13

It's difficult when you aim for too much.

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

And this is something I want to give

00:25:16 --> 00:25:19

away for everybody wanting to memorize the Qur

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

'an.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

Shaytan and the nafs, they don't like to

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

go slowly.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, everything He created,

00:25:26 --> 00:25:29

did He create the heavens and the earth?

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

Did He create it in six days because

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

He can't do it in one?

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

Or because He can't do it in a

00:25:35 --> 00:25:35

second?

00:25:36 --> 00:25:37

No.

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

It's to show us that it's better to

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

take time for things.

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42

And Allah didn't take time.

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

It was His word.

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

And then, you know, it's not Allah wasn't

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

taking time.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

Allah is not submitted to time.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:50

It was His word.

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

And He decided that it would take this

00:25:52 --> 00:25:53

long.

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

So same child in the womb, nine months.

00:25:57 --> 00:26:00

Well, He created Adam immediately.

00:26:00 --> 00:26:03

He created Isa immediately as a baby because

00:26:03 --> 00:26:06

Isa wasn't created of that which we are

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

created.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:07

There was no man.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

So one of the techniques of memorizing the

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

Qur'an is going slowly but surely.

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

And if you say like, for example, three

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

ayat a day, I want to learn the

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

Qur'an, memorize, I don't know how long

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

that would take.

00:26:22 --> 00:26:24

Then six years, for example, five years and

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

ten months.

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

That's good.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

Because we are not living in the desert.

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30

When I wanted to memorize the Qur'an

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

quickly, I went to the desert in Sudan.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

But not everybody can do that.

00:26:34 --> 00:26:36

Not because they're weak, but because their life

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

doesn't allow them to do so.

00:26:38 --> 00:26:43

So just five, three ayat a day, is

00:26:43 --> 00:26:43

that too difficult?

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

To be quite frank, how many hours do

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

we lose out on every day?

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

If we're just honest with ourselves, a bit

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

of this series, a bit of scrolling, a

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

bit of Instagramming, a bit of Facebooking, a

00:26:56 --> 00:26:59

bit of Twittering, a bit of fake live

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

actually, a bit of YouTube.

00:27:03 --> 00:27:08

You know, like, best fails 2016, best fails

00:27:08 --> 00:27:14

2017, best fails 2018, best fails 2019, the

00:27:14 --> 00:27:15

best of January, the best of February.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

So you keep on going and all the

00:27:17 --> 00:27:18

fails are the same.

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

Just people who are not an expert at

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

what they do.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:26

So now, when we come back, memorize the

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

Qur'an in harmony with your weakest moments.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

For example, you're a mother, a new mother,

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

you have a baby, like, late, 10 months

00:27:35 --> 00:27:35

old.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

Well, most probably you're not going to memorize

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

the Qur'an four hours a day.

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

If you can get to 20 or 30

00:27:42 --> 00:27:43

minutes, that's a lot.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

So you are going to say one ayah

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

a day.

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

One ayah, that's it.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

Because if you aim for too high, you

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

say five a day, and then you don't

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

get there, you will be discouraged.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:57

You say, I can't memorize.

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

This is too much for me.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:00

Qur'an is not for me.

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

I will never get there.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

But you were aiming too high.

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

You have to adjust your goals to your

00:28:09 --> 00:28:13

potential, to your capacity, and to your environment

00:28:13 --> 00:28:15

and surroundings and occupations.

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

If you don't do this, then you're living

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

a dream, in a dream, in a fake

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

world.

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

So if now you say one or two

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

ayat a day, you are always allowed to

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

do more, but never allowed to do less.

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

So look at your weakest moments, the moments

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

where you are sick, moments where you travel,

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

moments where you don't sleep a lot, and

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

say, I cannot do more when I'm at

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

my weakest than one or two verses a

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

day.

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

As I said, two verses a day is

00:28:45 --> 00:28:46

Qur'an in 80 years.

00:28:47 --> 00:28:48

That's good, isn't it?

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

In less than nine years.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

Everybody can do this.

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

So now, to come back, why am I

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

saying this?

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

I know it's about the names of Allah,

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

but if one thing is really reflecting the

00:29:02 --> 00:29:03

name of Allah, it's the Qur'an.

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

Like every page you turn, you see all

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

these names, and we are supposed to ask

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

ourselves the question, why are these names here?

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

The first thing I said when we just

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

started this class was because of the connection

00:29:17 --> 00:29:21

between Fiqh, and the names of Allah.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:25

And I believe that disconnecting Fiqh from the

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

names of Allah was one of the things

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

that led to a lack of spirituality behind

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

everything we do as an act of worship.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:40

Be it marrying, divorcing, raising children, funerals, whatever.

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

All the verses are connected to the names

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

of Allah.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:45

So what I want you to do, and

00:29:45 --> 00:29:47

it's really homework, and I want you to

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

share it with me next time when you

00:29:49 --> 00:29:56

come, is to randomly go through these pages

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

and you find the name of Allah, and

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

you say, what is this name doing here?

00:30:00 --> 00:30:01

What is this name telling me?

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

And you're going to connect the name to

00:30:04 --> 00:30:04

what?

00:30:06 --> 00:30:07

To the verse.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

And this is what we are going to

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

do today.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:15

So, under supervised and under observation.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

Everything is filmed by the way.

00:30:18 --> 00:30:19

Okay.

00:30:19 --> 00:30:21

The first thing I would like to ask

00:30:21 --> 00:30:24

you here, in Surat Al-Ma'idah, Allah

00:30:24 --> 00:30:29

says, He talks about the fact that we

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

need to respect our contracts.

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

And then He tells us in Surat Al

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

-Ma'idah which animals are allowed for us

00:30:37 --> 00:30:39

to eat from and which we are not

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

allowed to eat from.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:43

And then Allah makes it very clear when

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

we are not allowed to hunt, and when

00:30:45 --> 00:30:46

we are allowed to hunt.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:53

And then Allah says, Allah commands whatever He

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

wants.

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

He gives any ruling that He wants.

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

Why is He saying this?

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

So, we just said in Surat Al-Ma

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

'idah, it says these kind of animals with

00:31:04 --> 00:31:05

these kind of hooves, for example, are not

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

allowed.

00:31:06 --> 00:31:08

These ones are allowed and so forth.

00:31:08 --> 00:31:08

Why is this?

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

Yes.

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

Yes.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:27

Yes.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:29

So, what does He want from us here

00:31:29 --> 00:31:34

through this verse is obedience and submission.

00:31:35 --> 00:31:38

Because He's about to say, the meat of

00:31:38 --> 00:31:41

the people of the book are allowed for

00:31:41 --> 00:31:41

you.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:44

For men, it's allowed to marry with the

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

women of the book.

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

Then He says, that which dogs, when you

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

hunt, and the dogs bring to you, if

00:31:50 --> 00:31:51

they are being trained, you're allowed to eat

00:31:51 --> 00:31:52

it.

00:31:52 --> 00:31:53

If they are not trained, you're not allowed

00:31:53 --> 00:31:54

to eat.

00:31:54 --> 00:31:56

So, so many things of which we don't

00:31:56 --> 00:31:59

always immediately seem to be understanding the logic

00:31:59 --> 00:31:59

behind.

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

Well, Deen, it's not with logic.

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

Even though we can always find a logical

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

explanation, but the first thing we do when

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

we hear something is turn off this and

00:32:11 --> 00:32:12

submit with the soul.

00:32:12 --> 00:32:15

And after we have done this and have

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

accepted that it's from Allah, that He does

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

whatever He wants, then we will start looking

00:32:19 --> 00:32:22

for an eventual wisdom behind the verse.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

What you should know as well is that

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

the verses, the interpretations that we give to

00:32:26 --> 00:32:30

the verses, and a logical explanation are not

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

revelations.

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

Do you understand me?

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

So very often, what we try to do

00:32:35 --> 00:32:41

today is sometimes force certain explanations and interpretations

00:32:41 --> 00:32:46

so that a verse would become acceptable and

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

accepted by the masses.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:49

You see?

00:32:49 --> 00:32:51

And then I mean especially people in the

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

West, non-Muslims, or Muslims that doubt their

00:32:53 --> 00:32:54

faith.

00:32:54 --> 00:32:57

So we are going to force an interpretation

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

which is very obvious that this is not

00:32:59 --> 00:32:59

what is meant.

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

Just to please people.

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

That's wrong.

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

At a certain point, we say God is

00:33:03 --> 00:33:03

God.

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

We are His subjects.

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

We are His slaves.

00:33:07 --> 00:33:09

He does whatever He wants.

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

And if people don't agree, nobody forces you

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

to be a Muslim.

00:33:13 --> 00:33:13

You know?

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

But now we have these Muslims that pick

00:33:16 --> 00:33:17

whatever they want from religion.

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

Well, Allah SWT says in the Qur'an,

00:33:21 --> 00:33:24

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ أَمَانُوا أُدْخُلُوا فِي سِلْمِ كَافَةٍ

00:33:24 --> 00:33:28

O Believers, enter religion entirely.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

Completely.

00:33:30 --> 00:33:34

And don't say, Allah says أَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْدِ الْكِتَابِ

00:33:34 --> 00:33:38

وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْدٍ Do you believe in a part

00:33:38 --> 00:33:38

of the book?

00:33:39 --> 00:33:42

And do you deny or reject another part

00:33:42 --> 00:33:42

of the book?

00:33:44 --> 00:33:47

Allah says that the punishment will be connected

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

to this.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:51

So anyway, we have to watch out not

00:33:51 --> 00:33:54

trying to give interpretations to our religion just

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

to please people.

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

That's wrong.

00:33:58 --> 00:34:01

That is the same as تَحْرِيف as, how

00:34:01 --> 00:34:02

do you say that?

00:34:03 --> 00:34:08

Bending away the interpretation from the real meaning.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:09

And this is haram.

00:34:10 --> 00:34:11

Is that clear?

00:34:11 --> 00:34:13

And today, and that's the last thing I

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

want to say about this.

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

A lot of people, they don't look in

00:34:17 --> 00:34:20

the Qur'an to find an answer.

00:34:21 --> 00:34:25

They look in the Qur'an to legitimize

00:34:25 --> 00:34:26

their thinking.

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

You see this?

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

So they want to say something, for example,

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

whatever.

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

I don't know.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:37

Okay, this is halal, in my head.

00:34:38 --> 00:34:41

I think, or people that want to say,

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

I want to look, I want the West

00:34:43 --> 00:34:44

to accept me.

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

If we are real Muslims, the West will

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

accept us because being a real Muslim is

00:34:48 --> 00:34:49

beautiful.

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

But that doesn't mean that we agree upon

00:34:51 --> 00:34:52

everything.

00:34:52 --> 00:34:52

People are different.

00:34:53 --> 00:34:53

So what do they say?

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

Okay, if I say this, they will accept.

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

Okay, let me not look in the Qur

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

'an for verses and ayat that will emphasize

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

the fact that I am right.

00:35:01 --> 00:35:04

But they are just turning away from the

00:35:04 --> 00:35:07

real literal meaning of what the verse entails.

00:35:07 --> 00:35:08

And this is dangerous.

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

This is very dangerous because at the end,

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

people are creating a new religion.

00:35:14 --> 00:35:14

This is what they are doing.

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

Saying, I first think, and then I dive

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

into the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and

00:35:19 --> 00:35:23

I'm going to make this mixture, this chemical

00:35:23 --> 00:35:26

mixture that will eventually explode in my face

00:35:26 --> 00:35:28

on the Day of Judgement, but here it

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

makes me happy.

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

It's the elixir of happiness.

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

And this is very wrong.

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

So we need to watch out for these

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

kinds of people.

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

And subhanAllah, the problem is they are increasing

00:35:38 --> 00:35:42

in number, and those who love them increase

00:35:42 --> 00:35:43

in their followership.

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

They are their followers.

00:35:46 --> 00:35:46

And why?

00:35:47 --> 00:35:52

Because they try to adapt Islam to the

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

wishes and the passions of people.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

And people are full of passions.

00:35:58 --> 00:35:58

Okay?

00:35:58 --> 00:36:01

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ Today we are

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

going just to dive randomly, if that's good

00:36:03 --> 00:36:06

for you, in the Qur'an, and we

00:36:06 --> 00:36:09

are going to see how the names of

00:36:09 --> 00:36:12

Allah SWT connect to the verse.

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

Bismillah.

00:36:14 --> 00:36:14

I'm just looking.

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

Here.

00:36:16 --> 00:36:17

Allah.

00:36:18 --> 00:36:19

Okay.

00:36:27 --> 00:36:27

Here.

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

It's a nice one.

00:36:30 --> 00:36:31

Allah SWT is describing the Day of Judgement.

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

Right?

00:36:33 --> 00:36:38

And then here He says, وَخَشَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ

00:36:38 --> 00:36:42

فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا SubhanAllah.

00:36:43 --> 00:36:46

He says, and the voices will be lowered

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

and tempered for Ar-Rahman.

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

And you will hear nothing.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

Some say but breathing, some say but the

00:36:54 --> 00:36:55

shuffling of the feet, whatever.

00:36:56 --> 00:36:59

So, why is it the name Ar-Rahman?

00:37:00 --> 00:37:03

وَخَشَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ Do we have an English?

00:37:05 --> 00:37:06

Yes, we have.

00:37:07 --> 00:37:11

There is a very beautiful one at the

00:37:11 --> 00:37:11

back.

00:37:11 --> 00:37:17

And it's, there is one of Al-Mawdudi,

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

Rahimahullah.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:20

And I think there is one of Taqiyyah

00:37:20 --> 00:37:21

Al-Uthmani.

00:37:23 --> 00:37:25

There is one, it's in one volume of

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

Al-Mawdudi.

00:37:26 --> 00:37:27

I think it's a green one.

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

Yes, if you can have a look, maybe.

00:37:36 --> 00:37:38

Okay, otherwise, I will just take this one,

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

no problem.

00:37:40 --> 00:37:47

Can you open please, Surah Al-Taha, 108.

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

Can you do this?

00:37:49 --> 00:37:51

Okay, it's a task of No'man today.

00:37:53 --> 00:37:56

Surah Al-Taha, thank you so much.

00:37:57 --> 00:38:00

Surah Al-Taha, Ayah, I say Ayah, I

00:38:00 --> 00:38:01

never say Ayah like this.

00:38:02 --> 00:38:07

I mix with the Indian Pakistan community, I'm

00:38:07 --> 00:38:09

saying, and I'm saying Ayah.

00:38:09 --> 00:38:12

I heard myself, I even say Imam, and

00:38:12 --> 00:38:13

I used to say Imam.

00:38:14 --> 00:38:14

Nice.

00:38:14 --> 00:38:19

I'm being, converted and assimilated, yes.

00:38:19 --> 00:38:21

I love it.

00:38:26 --> 00:38:27

Verse 108, please.

00:38:35 --> 00:38:36

Do I look Pakistani, really?

00:38:37 --> 00:38:39

Well, this one I never heard before.

00:38:40 --> 00:38:42

You're manipulating me now.

00:38:44 --> 00:38:45

I wouldn't mind because I like biryani.

00:38:46 --> 00:38:49

From the northern part, really?

00:38:50 --> 00:38:51

You say yes, is that true?

00:38:53 --> 00:38:53

Yes.

00:38:54 --> 00:38:54

Are you Pakistani?

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

You don't look like one.

00:38:57 --> 00:38:58

You look more like an Afghani.

00:38:59 --> 00:39:00

We can switch.

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

Yes, if you like to.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:03

If my wife is okay with that, I

00:39:03 --> 00:39:04

don't have a problem.

00:39:05 --> 00:39:07

Okay, 108, did you find Habibi?

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

Okay, Fanda.

00:39:08 --> 00:39:10

That day, no intercession will be of any

00:39:10 --> 00:39:13

use to anyone, except the one whom the

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

Ar-Rahman has permitted and was treated.

00:39:21 --> 00:39:22

No, the one before.

00:39:24 --> 00:39:25

Then there is 107 then.

00:39:25 --> 00:39:26

Okay, 107.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

That day, they will follow the call and

00:39:29 --> 00:39:31

will find no deviation from anyone and the

00:39:31 --> 00:39:33

voices will turn low in awe for the

00:39:33 --> 00:39:34

Ar-Rahman.

00:39:35 --> 00:39:37

So you will hear not but whispers.

00:39:38 --> 00:39:41

Yeah, so here, why the Ar-Rahman?

00:39:42 --> 00:39:45

Look, why is there Ar-Rahman?

00:39:45 --> 00:39:49

We are speaking about this immense day where

00:39:49 --> 00:39:53

Allah SWT will call everybody and everybody will

00:39:53 --> 00:39:55

be called by his names in groups and

00:39:55 --> 00:39:55

so forth.

00:39:56 --> 00:39:57

So why Ar-Rahman?

00:39:58 --> 00:40:02

Al-Jabbar, Al-Qawiyy, Al-Mateen, Al-Azeem,

00:40:02 --> 00:40:04

you know, why Ar-Rahman?

00:40:09 --> 00:40:10

Okay, that's one.

00:40:11 --> 00:40:14

Two, he's merciful.

00:40:15 --> 00:40:18

You should know that a true believer, I

00:40:18 --> 00:40:21

mean a very strong believer, when he reads

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

the Qur'an and he reads about Yawm

00:40:23 --> 00:40:26

al-Qiyamah, you know, then his heart can't

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

take it anymore.

00:40:28 --> 00:40:31

You know, he comes into the real world.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:34

He enters into a real world about Qiyamah

00:40:34 --> 00:40:37

and the skies turning red and people being

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

frightened.

00:40:37 --> 00:40:41

So if you don't save him, and you

00:40:41 --> 00:40:44

would add the name Jabbar, Qahar, it's too

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

much.

00:40:45 --> 00:40:46

You know, calm down.

00:40:47 --> 00:40:48

There's still Rahmah that day.

00:40:49 --> 00:40:50

You know, it's not talking about Rahmah here,

00:40:51 --> 00:40:52

but there's still Rahmah.

00:40:53 --> 00:40:55

So the mu'min finds breathing space.

00:40:56 --> 00:40:59

Okay, okay, carry on.

00:40:59 --> 00:41:03

You see, so this is very important that

00:41:03 --> 00:41:05

we see that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:41:05 --> 00:41:09

in the midst of talking about al-Qiyamah,

00:41:10 --> 00:41:12

he nevertheless shows that there will be mercy

00:41:12 --> 00:41:15

so that no one would despair and no

00:41:15 --> 00:41:19

one would think that there will be no

00:41:19 --> 00:41:19

mercy.

00:41:19 --> 00:41:20

Is that clear?

00:41:20 --> 00:41:22

Okay, we go for another one.

00:41:23 --> 00:41:24

Okay, unless you want to add something.

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

No?

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

Bismillah, and now I won't talk.

00:41:29 --> 00:41:30

It's for you to do.

00:41:32 --> 00:41:42

Yes, Rum 54, Surah 30, Ayah

00:41:42 --> 00:41:43

54.

00:41:54 --> 00:41:57

I had one Shaykh and he wasn't pleased

00:41:57 --> 00:41:59

with us knowing the Surah in order.

00:41:59 --> 00:42:02

He wanted us to know it backwards as

00:42:02 --> 00:42:02

well.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

We didn't have to read the Qur'an

00:42:05 --> 00:42:08

backwards, but he would mention a verse.

00:42:08 --> 00:42:10

It's very easy to find the verse that

00:42:10 --> 00:42:11

comes after it.

00:42:12 --> 00:42:13

Like if I were to say now, for

00:42:13 --> 00:42:15

example, and I want you to answer in

00:42:15 --> 00:42:18

less than a second, without thinking.

00:42:20 --> 00:42:21

Qul huwa allahu ahad.

00:42:24 --> 00:42:25

Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, right?

00:42:25 --> 00:42:28

But if I now were to say, you

00:42:28 --> 00:42:30

have to tell me what verse comes before

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

it.

00:42:32 --> 00:42:33

Wa min sharrinna fa'athati fil'uqad.

00:42:37 --> 00:42:37

No.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:40

It's before it, yes, but not right before

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

it.

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

You see this?

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

You have to go back all the way

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

and then you go downwards.

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

This is weak Hift, not you, Al-Nu'man.

00:42:48 --> 00:42:49

What comes before Al-Nas?

00:42:50 --> 00:42:51

Ah, Al-Nas.

00:42:51 --> 00:42:53

It's all Nas in Surah Al-Nas.

00:42:54 --> 00:42:56

So do you see, he wanted us, and

00:42:56 --> 00:42:58

if we didn't, if we weren't able to

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

say this immediately, he would say like, you

00:43:01 --> 00:43:04

are very weak memorizers.

00:43:04 --> 00:43:04

Memorizers?

00:43:04 --> 00:43:05

Do we say it like that?

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

No, the Ism Al-Fa'il, Al-Nu'man,

00:43:09 --> 00:43:10

of memorizing.

00:43:10 --> 00:43:11

What is it?

00:43:12 --> 00:43:12

Memorizers.

00:43:13 --> 00:43:13

Memorizers?

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

Memorizers.

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

Memorizers?

00:43:15 --> 00:43:16

Okay.

00:43:16 --> 00:43:18

Then he would say, you are very weak

00:43:18 --> 00:43:20

Huffaf of the Qur'an.

00:43:21 --> 00:43:21

Okay.

00:43:21 --> 00:43:22

Yes, read please.

00:43:23 --> 00:43:26

Please listen, the women as well, to the

00:43:26 --> 00:43:29

following verse and how the names are connected.

00:43:29 --> 00:43:29

Yes.

00:43:30 --> 00:43:34

Allah is the one who created strength after

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

weakness and old age after strength.

00:43:39 --> 00:43:40

He creates what He will.

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

Huh.

00:43:44 --> 00:43:46

All-knowing, all-powerful.

00:43:46 --> 00:43:47

Powerful, we might connect it, right?

00:43:48 --> 00:43:50

But now he says, all-knowing, all-powerful.

00:43:50 --> 00:43:52

I want to give you one principle.

00:43:53 --> 00:43:55

It's when two names of Allah SWT are

00:43:55 --> 00:43:59

mentioned together, they add an extra meaning to

00:43:59 --> 00:44:00

the other name.

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

Is that clear?

00:44:01 --> 00:44:03

So when the name is separate, it has

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

a meaning.

00:44:04 --> 00:44:06

When they come together, it still contains this

00:44:06 --> 00:44:08

meaning, but there is an extra meaning added

00:44:08 --> 00:44:08

to what?

00:44:09 --> 00:44:09

To the other name.

00:44:09 --> 00:44:12

So what are these names doing here now?

00:44:12 --> 00:44:13

You, not first Noman.

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

No, both.

00:44:19 --> 00:44:20

So what were the names?

00:44:21 --> 00:44:22

And he is?

00:44:22 --> 00:44:25

The all-knowing, all-powerful.

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

Yalla.

00:44:28 --> 00:44:31

So Allah is the one that created you

00:44:31 --> 00:44:33

out of weakness like that.

00:44:34 --> 00:44:36

And then He made us strong and then

00:44:36 --> 00:44:37

He made us weak and old.

00:44:38 --> 00:44:40

And He is the all-knowing, all-powerful.

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

Why?

00:44:49 --> 00:44:50

Okay, that's one.

00:44:51 --> 00:44:51

Good.

00:44:52 --> 00:44:53

I want a deeper meaning.

00:44:53 --> 00:44:55

As a general meaning, it was good.

00:44:56 --> 00:44:56

Somebody else?

00:45:08 --> 00:45:09

Okay, that's a good one as well.

00:45:09 --> 00:45:09

Very good.

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

But Allah knows why.

00:45:10 --> 00:45:11

But where is the Qadeer?

00:45:22 --> 00:45:26

When you were born, did you know anything?

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

Then at a certain age, do you start

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

forgetting things?

00:45:33 --> 00:45:36

But when you're at your strongest, then you

00:45:36 --> 00:45:37

know things, isn't it?

00:45:37 --> 00:45:39

And you don't seem to forget them as

00:45:39 --> 00:45:41

much as when you are older or as

00:45:41 --> 00:45:42

when you are young.

00:45:42 --> 00:45:44

Can this be connected to Al-'Aleem?

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

Yes.

00:45:46 --> 00:45:48

So when you get older and you start

00:45:48 --> 00:45:51

forgetting, this is a sign that you are

00:45:51 --> 00:45:53

weak and Allah is all-knowing.

00:45:54 --> 00:45:56

And that your body is decreasing in strength

00:45:56 --> 00:45:58

is a sign that Allah is al-Qadeer.

00:45:59 --> 00:46:02

So you going through these stages are actually

00:46:02 --> 00:46:05

showing you what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

does for you and reminds you of His

00:46:07 --> 00:46:08

strength and His knowledge.

00:46:09 --> 00:46:13

He never went through this evolution.

00:46:13 --> 00:46:14

Allah doesn't go through an evolution.

00:46:14 --> 00:46:15

He was always perfect.

00:46:16 --> 00:46:18

So He didn't have moments of strength and

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

weakness.

00:46:19 --> 00:46:20

He was always strongest.

00:46:21 --> 00:46:23

And He was always all-knowing.

00:46:23 --> 00:46:27

So His knowledge was never preceded through ignorance

00:46:27 --> 00:46:29

and will never be followed by forgetfulness.

00:46:30 --> 00:46:31

So when you see Al-'Aleem al-Qadeer, look

00:46:31 --> 00:46:32

at your state.

00:46:33 --> 00:46:35

Allah is never weak and is always all

00:46:35 --> 00:46:36

-knowing.

00:46:36 --> 00:46:36

Is that clear?

00:46:37 --> 00:46:39

And if you then, in the light of

00:46:39 --> 00:46:41

this verse, when you forget, sometimes it happens

00:46:41 --> 00:46:43

to me, especially when my sugar is a

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

bit high with my diabetes, sometimes I find

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

it very difficult to concentrate.

00:46:48 --> 00:46:50

And I might forget a word.

00:46:50 --> 00:46:51

I'm really looking for a word and it's

00:46:51 --> 00:46:52

a very easy word.

00:46:52 --> 00:46:54

This also happens to people in general.

00:46:54 --> 00:46:57

But due to my sugar, sometimes this happens.

00:46:57 --> 00:46:59

And then I have two ways of looking

00:46:59 --> 00:46:59

at it.

00:47:01 --> 00:47:03

Either feeling embarrassed in front of the students,

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

like, okay, what are they going to think?

00:47:06 --> 00:47:08

Or either use it to say, look at

00:47:08 --> 00:47:14

how weak we humans are and how powerful

00:47:14 --> 00:47:15

Allah SWT is.

00:47:15 --> 00:47:18

So do you see the link between the

00:47:18 --> 00:47:21

names and the evolution we go through and

00:47:21 --> 00:47:23

how Al-'Alim and Al-Qadir, and he's the

00:47:23 --> 00:47:24

one keeping you up.

00:47:25 --> 00:47:28

Because subhanAllah, now for example, Layth wants to

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

stand.

00:47:29 --> 00:47:31

If he now stands and I let him

00:47:31 --> 00:47:32

go, he will fall.

00:47:33 --> 00:47:35

In two years he won't, inshaAllah.

00:47:36 --> 00:47:40

But then later on, he, maybe his children

00:47:40 --> 00:47:41

or grandchildren, will take him by the arm

00:47:41 --> 00:47:42

because he will fall again.

00:47:43 --> 00:47:44

InshaAllah not.

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

Ameen.

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

Say Ameen.

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

Because Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Imam Ibn Rajab

00:47:48 --> 00:47:51

mentioned, that Al-Hasan Al-Basri, when he

00:47:51 --> 00:47:54

was 100 years old, he jumped from, or

00:47:54 --> 00:47:57

was it Al-Fudayr Al-Qadir Ibn Niyad,

00:47:57 --> 00:47:58

I'm very sorry, I think it's Al-Hasan.

00:47:58 --> 00:48:02

He jumped on a boat when he was

00:48:02 --> 00:48:03

about 100 years old.

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

And he said, how do you do this?

00:48:06 --> 00:48:09

He said, we preserved these limbs when we

00:48:09 --> 00:48:12

were young against Haram, so Allah preserves them

00:48:12 --> 00:48:13

now when we are old.

00:48:15 --> 00:48:18

So just in brief, when we see that

00:48:18 --> 00:48:22

we become weaker or older, that shouldn't annoy

00:48:22 --> 00:48:23

us.

00:48:23 --> 00:48:25

Because this is a part of being creation.

00:48:27 --> 00:48:29

And we hold on to the one to

00:48:29 --> 00:48:30

whom this doesn't happen.

00:48:31 --> 00:48:33

So Al-'Alim Al-Qadir, and this is just

00:48:33 --> 00:48:34

one possible thing.

00:48:34 --> 00:48:36

So now I want to hear maybe some

00:48:36 --> 00:48:36

other things.

00:48:38 --> 00:48:40

How is Al-'Alim Al-Qadir connected to these

00:48:40 --> 00:48:43

different stages, weak, young, weak?

00:48:46 --> 00:48:47

Yes, Naaman.

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

It's similar to the north.

00:49:04 --> 00:49:04

Subhanallah.

00:49:06 --> 00:49:07

Yes, subhanallah.

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

Very good, yes.

00:49:09 --> 00:49:09

Okay.

00:49:10 --> 00:49:11

Go for another one?

00:49:12 --> 00:49:14

So this will be your homework.

00:49:15 --> 00:49:15

Okay.

00:49:15 --> 00:49:17

And there's no wrong answer.

00:49:17 --> 00:49:21

Because some of the ayat, you understand them

00:49:21 --> 00:49:22

with your soul.

00:49:22 --> 00:49:24

I don't mean you don't need Arabic and

00:49:24 --> 00:49:25

so forth, but we're doing it together.

00:49:26 --> 00:49:27

So it's not like you're going to write

00:49:27 --> 00:49:29

a book, I'm just going, this is my

00:49:29 --> 00:49:30

tafsir, you know, we get together.

00:49:30 --> 00:49:33

And if there's a wrong understanding, inshallah, I

00:49:33 --> 00:49:34

will mention it, of course, inshallah.

00:49:35 --> 00:49:35

Okay.

00:49:36 --> 00:49:36

DazukAllah.

00:49:40 --> 00:49:41

This is a very beautiful one.

00:49:42 --> 00:49:42

And they're all beautiful.

00:49:44 --> 00:49:49

Take please Surah Al-Nahl, ayah 115.

00:49:53 --> 00:49:55

And here I'm not going to say anything,

00:49:55 --> 00:49:57

because it's supposed to be very obvious.

00:49:58 --> 00:49:59

Even though there are two names.

00:50:07 --> 00:50:12

Surah Al-Nahl, ayah 115.

00:50:16 --> 00:50:21

إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالْدَّمَا وَلَحْمَةَ الْخِنزِيلِ

00:50:37 --> 00:50:44

Okay, next one.

00:50:46 --> 00:50:47

Okay, I want this one.

00:50:47 --> 00:50:48

Listen very attentively, please.

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

Okay, this is the verse we're going to

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

look at.

00:50:51 --> 00:50:52

Read it out loud.

00:51:09 --> 00:51:09

Okay.

00:51:14 --> 00:51:15

What did you understand from this?

00:51:24 --> 00:51:26

Okay, and this is then connected to?

00:51:29 --> 00:51:30

But to the names?

00:51:31 --> 00:51:32

The mercy of Allah, right?

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

Very good.

00:51:34 --> 00:51:34

Indeed.

00:51:34 --> 00:51:39

Like, we see that Allah gives exceptions, like

00:51:39 --> 00:51:42

in time of necessity, that we are allowed

00:51:42 --> 00:51:47

to drink wine, eat pork, or dead animals.

00:51:47 --> 00:51:50

With dead we mean animals that weren't sacrificed,

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

but died, or that were not slaughtered in

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

an Islamic way.

00:51:56 --> 00:51:59

So, Allah then at the end says, He

00:51:59 --> 00:52:00

is Ghafoor Rahim.

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

Right?

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

Or what did He say, Allah Subhanahu Wa

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

Ta'ala?

00:52:04 --> 00:52:07

Most forgiving, most merciful.

00:52:09 --> 00:52:10

Ghafoor.

00:52:12 --> 00:52:13

Ghafoor Rahim.

00:52:15 --> 00:52:16

Okay, you have to help me out here.

00:52:18 --> 00:52:19

Why forgiving?

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

Because it's not a sin.

00:52:27 --> 00:52:27

Yes.

00:52:28 --> 00:52:29

I like this.

00:52:30 --> 00:52:31

Yes.

00:52:31 --> 00:52:35

Very often, subhanAllah, when we do something which

00:52:35 --> 00:52:37

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has allowed us,

00:52:37 --> 00:52:39

in times of exception, we feel guilty.

00:52:40 --> 00:52:43

This guilt, Abdullah ibn Abbas described it as

00:52:43 --> 00:52:45

a bid'ah itiqadi.

00:52:46 --> 00:52:48

Bid'ah itiqadiyya.

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

Meaning it's a bid'ah connected to your

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

conviction.

00:52:53 --> 00:52:54

Because you're not allowed to feel bad when

00:52:54 --> 00:52:56

you do something which Allah has allowed, isn't

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

it?

00:52:57 --> 00:52:58

It is not a sin.

00:52:58 --> 00:53:01

So, when we would be in that desert,

00:53:02 --> 00:53:04

for example, and we would have nothing, or

00:53:04 --> 00:53:06

like the people of Masakin, in Andalusia, for

00:53:06 --> 00:53:09

example, one of the last bastions of the

00:53:09 --> 00:53:14

Moors, where they, each time before Maghrib, they

00:53:14 --> 00:53:18

would, during the month of Ramadan, gather the

00:53:18 --> 00:53:21

people in a public space, they would gather

00:53:21 --> 00:53:23

them all, and they would go to every

00:53:23 --> 00:53:25

door, knock to take the people out.

00:53:26 --> 00:53:28

And then they had to drink wine, just

00:53:28 --> 00:53:30

a sip of wine, and they had to

00:53:30 --> 00:53:34

eat pork right before Maghrib, during the month

00:53:34 --> 00:53:36

of Ramadan, like five minutes before.

00:53:38 --> 00:53:39

And until today, I forgot the name of

00:53:39 --> 00:53:41

the town, but it's where the bastion of

00:53:41 --> 00:53:42

the last of the Moors is.

00:53:42 --> 00:53:44

When you go there, you see all shops

00:53:44 --> 00:53:46

that sell wine and pork.

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

You know?

00:53:48 --> 00:53:50

And these people, when you would be living

00:53:50 --> 00:53:52

in their times, and you would have your

00:53:52 --> 00:53:54

children, you would protect them.

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

You know?

00:53:55 --> 00:53:57

If you were to be alone as a

00:53:57 --> 00:54:00

man, and you wouldn't have any responsibilities, then

00:54:00 --> 00:54:03

you could make the choice to say, I'm

00:54:03 --> 00:54:04

not going to drink it, and I'm not

00:54:04 --> 00:54:05

going to eat it, I'm a Muslim, do

00:54:05 --> 00:54:06

what you want.

00:54:06 --> 00:54:12

But when you're forced to do something, and

00:54:12 --> 00:54:18

you not doing it will eventually be leading

00:54:18 --> 00:54:21

to harming those whom you are responsible over,

00:54:22 --> 00:54:23

then you do not have this choice.

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

Is that clear?

00:54:25 --> 00:54:28

So in the time of oppression, like you

00:54:28 --> 00:54:31

as a human being or as a leader,

00:54:31 --> 00:54:33

they also differentiate between someone who is in

00:54:33 --> 00:54:35

a leader position and someone who is in

00:54:35 --> 00:54:37

a non-leader position.

00:54:37 --> 00:54:39

But you being as an individual, or you

00:54:39 --> 00:54:43

being responsible over a family for example, and

00:54:43 --> 00:54:44

they say, okay you're going to eat or

00:54:44 --> 00:54:48

drink that wine, or we're going to kill

00:54:48 --> 00:54:52

you, and you're alone, say I'm a Muslim,

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

I don't care.

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

But if they threaten, or you know that

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

if you are not going to take this

00:54:59 --> 00:55:02

sip, and not going to drink, eat a

00:55:02 --> 00:55:05

bit of that pork, that they will maybe

00:55:05 --> 00:55:09

kill your family, maybe abuse the females of

00:55:09 --> 00:55:12

your family, and so forth, then you are

00:55:12 --> 00:55:14

then not allowed not to do it.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:18

Because here, you refraining from it will harm

00:55:18 --> 00:55:19

others.

00:55:19 --> 00:55:22

Of course, this has limitations.

00:55:22 --> 00:55:25

For example, if someone says, kill that person

00:55:25 --> 00:55:28

in times of war, these are just, you

00:55:28 --> 00:55:31

know, kill that person, or we kill, for

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

example, the one you love, then you're not

00:55:33 --> 00:55:34

allowed to kill.

00:55:34 --> 00:55:38

Because now you are afflicting harm upon someone

00:55:38 --> 00:55:40

else who has nothing to do with your

00:55:40 --> 00:55:40

affliction.

00:55:41 --> 00:55:42

Is that clear?

00:55:42 --> 00:55:43

So it all depends.

00:55:44 --> 00:55:45

But in the case that I said, then

00:55:45 --> 00:55:45

this would be allowed.

00:55:46 --> 00:55:49

And according to some, this would get preference

00:55:49 --> 00:55:52

over refusing it, because you will harm others

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

at that time.

00:55:53 --> 00:55:58

Now, there are no stupid questions.

00:55:58 --> 00:56:07

What do you mean?

00:56:14 --> 00:56:17

Yes, but he was a leader, and he

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

was the one that was chosen to be

00:56:19 --> 00:56:21

the Khalifa, and the others were the oppressors.

00:56:22 --> 00:56:23

So at that time, as a leader, you

00:56:23 --> 00:56:28

have the, he had the responsibility of defending

00:56:28 --> 00:56:34

his community and defending the leadership that was

00:56:34 --> 00:56:37

justly given to him.

00:56:37 --> 00:56:41

So we can't compare a leader of a

00:56:41 --> 00:56:45

people to us and ourselves.

00:56:48 --> 00:56:50

Okay, so is this clear?

00:56:51 --> 00:56:52

So SubhanAllah, this is very important.

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

So no guilt, no feeling of guilt.

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

This is what the ayah is saying to

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

us.

00:56:57 --> 00:56:59

It is a mercy of Allah SWT.

00:56:59 --> 00:57:00

There is no feeling of guilt.

00:57:01 --> 00:57:03

Same thing when you join between your prayers

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

when you are on a hadith.

00:57:04 --> 00:57:05

You join between your prayers when you are

00:57:05 --> 00:57:06

on a journey.

00:57:06 --> 00:57:08

You don't have to feel guilty.

00:57:08 --> 00:57:09

It's a sunnah of the Messenger of Allah,

00:57:09 --> 00:57:10

peace be upon him.

00:57:11 --> 00:57:13

So this is what the ayah exactly, as

00:57:13 --> 00:57:14

has been said, is telling us.

00:57:14 --> 00:57:17

These exceptions are a mercy of Allah SWT.

00:57:17 --> 00:57:18

Accept it.

00:57:18 --> 00:57:21

So if one, you find yourself, the plane

00:57:21 --> 00:57:22

crashed on the North Pole.

00:57:23 --> 00:57:24

I don't know if the planes fly over

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

the North Pole.

00:57:25 --> 00:57:27

or the Titanic or whatever.

00:57:27 --> 00:57:29

So it crashed and the only thing you

00:57:29 --> 00:57:32

have to stay alive is wine and what?

00:57:33 --> 00:57:34

Pork.

00:57:34 --> 00:57:38

Then you are allowed to eat and drink

00:57:38 --> 00:57:40

غير باغ ولا عد.

00:57:41 --> 00:57:45

So it will just be sufficiently for you

00:57:45 --> 00:57:48

to stay alive and also to have strength

00:57:48 --> 00:57:48

to survive.

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

But not to party.

00:57:52 --> 00:57:55

That would be extremely haram.

00:57:55 --> 00:57:56

That would be very haram.

00:57:58 --> 00:58:02

And some say باغين would be that you

00:58:02 --> 00:58:03

like it.

00:58:03 --> 00:58:04

So you do not like it.

00:58:04 --> 00:58:06

You don't say, I'm sorry to give the

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

example but you would not like to say

00:58:07 --> 00:58:11

like, yes, now I have the opportunity to

00:58:11 --> 00:58:12

taste it.

00:58:12 --> 00:58:15

So you are not going to like it.

00:58:15 --> 00:58:18

But you are going to like the rahma

00:58:18 --> 00:58:19

of Allah SWT.

00:58:20 --> 00:58:21

And now the scholars differ.

00:58:21 --> 00:58:24

So what if I have this entire pork

00:58:25 --> 00:58:27

like on the North Pole?

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

How it came there?

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

I don't know.

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

So you have this.

00:58:29 --> 00:58:32

So now you slaughtered it.

00:58:34 --> 00:58:36

Do you have to take, are you allowed

00:58:36 --> 00:58:38

to take the pork with you?

00:58:38 --> 00:58:39

You see?

00:58:40 --> 00:58:41

Because Allah says you can't eat more than

00:58:41 --> 00:58:42

you need.

00:58:43 --> 00:58:45

So am I now allowed to, here we

00:58:45 --> 00:58:48

go, and I start walking.

00:58:48 --> 00:58:49

Is this allowed?

00:58:49 --> 00:58:52

Well, they say if you expect yourself not

00:58:52 --> 00:58:57

to find anything, you know, within a period

00:58:57 --> 00:59:00

which would be sufficient for you to stay

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

alive, then you have to take it with

00:59:03 --> 00:59:05

you because it's preserving your life.

00:59:06 --> 00:59:09

But if you know that, you know, within

00:59:09 --> 00:59:11

a day or so, and you're sure of

00:59:11 --> 00:59:13

that, but you need to survive for that

00:59:13 --> 00:59:15

day, and if you don't eat it and

00:59:15 --> 00:59:17

you don't drink it, you will never arrive

00:59:17 --> 00:59:20

at your point of destination, then you don't

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

take it with you.

00:59:21 --> 00:59:23

If you know that you're going to be

00:59:23 --> 00:59:26

on time and you will be healthy when

00:59:26 --> 00:59:28

you arrive, then you are not allowed to

00:59:28 --> 00:59:29

take it with you.

00:59:29 --> 00:59:29

Is that clear?

00:59:30 --> 00:59:30

Okay.

00:59:30 --> 00:59:33

And not eating that which remains is not

00:59:33 --> 00:59:35

considered to be israf.

00:59:36 --> 00:59:37

It's not considered to be israf.

00:59:38 --> 00:59:40

Now, there is a qa'ida, a qa

00:59:40 --> 00:59:45

'ida usooliya, a usooli principle, which says الشارع

00:59:45 --> 00:59:49

لا يأمر إلا بمصلحة خالصة أو راجحة ولا

00:59:49 --> 00:59:54

ينهى إلا عن مفسدة خالصة أو راجحة Meaning,

00:59:54 --> 00:59:57

the sharia only commands things that are entirely

00:59:57 --> 01:00:05

good or, how can you say this, like

01:00:05 --> 01:00:08

when it's 90% good, it is either

01:00:08 --> 01:00:10

entirely good or when the majority of it

01:00:10 --> 01:00:10

is good.

01:00:10 --> 01:00:11

How would you say this?

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

Okay.

01:00:16 --> 01:00:18

So the sharia doesn't command but that which

01:00:18 --> 01:00:22

is entirely good or mostly good and doesn't

01:00:22 --> 01:00:28

forbid things unless they are entirely bad or

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

mostly bad.

01:00:29 --> 01:00:31

So this, when we look at surat al

01:00:31 --> 01:00:34

-baqarah, when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks

01:00:34 --> 01:00:37

about alcohol, right, and about gambling, then he

01:00:37 --> 01:00:42

makes very clear that there are benefits, there

01:00:42 --> 01:00:47

are beneficial things, مَمْ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ

01:00:47 --> 01:00:53

قُلْ فِيهِ Meaning, within it are sins and

01:00:53 --> 01:00:56

within it are good things but the bad

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

things within it are more than the good

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

things and this is why it is haram.

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

So some people say, but you know when

01:01:02 --> 01:01:04

it's cold and I drink this little whiskey,

01:01:04 --> 01:01:05

all of a sudden I feel, you know,

01:01:06 --> 01:01:06

some heat.

01:01:07 --> 01:01:09

Well, that's the partly good thing but not

01:01:09 --> 01:01:10

the mostly.

01:01:10 --> 01:01:15

So it's entirely bad or mostly bad and

01:01:15 --> 01:01:16

this is why it is made haram.

01:01:17 --> 01:01:20

The same for example with other things which

01:01:20 --> 01:01:23

have been made haram is because they, we

01:01:23 --> 01:01:25

don't say that they don't contain any good

01:01:26 --> 01:01:29

but the largest percentage within it is bad

01:01:29 --> 01:01:30

and this is why it is haram.

01:01:31 --> 01:01:31

Is that clear?

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

Now in Belgium there was a rule, this

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

morning we read it, that you are no

01:01:36 --> 01:01:38

longer allowed to drink alcohol on the streets.

01:01:38 --> 01:01:39

Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

01:01:40 --> 01:01:41

Yes.

01:01:42 --> 01:01:44

I think if Muslims would say this in

01:01:44 --> 01:01:46

a Muslim country then we would say, oh,

01:01:46 --> 01:01:47

they're extremists.

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

So anyway.

01:01:49 --> 01:01:50

Yes.

01:01:51 --> 01:01:52

And in America we got these brown bags.

01:01:53 --> 01:01:55

Brown bags and if you, you have to

01:01:55 --> 01:01:56

hide it in some states.

01:01:57 --> 01:01:59

So anyway, is that clear?

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

So now, pork, at that time, can we

01:02:03 --> 01:02:06

say that pork now is mostly good or

01:02:06 --> 01:02:08

entirely good in this situation?

01:02:11 --> 01:02:13

In the situation we said when you are

01:02:13 --> 01:02:16

about to die and you have to eat

01:02:16 --> 01:02:16

it.

01:02:17 --> 01:02:18

Mostly.

01:02:20 --> 01:02:20

Entirely.

01:02:21 --> 01:02:23

Well, give me a correct answer next time.

01:02:25 --> 01:02:26

Not at all.

01:02:34 --> 01:02:36

Can we say it's the lesser of two

01:02:36 --> 01:02:36

evils then?

01:02:39 --> 01:02:40

Yes, lesser of two evils.

01:02:40 --> 01:02:43

Either dying, or surviving.

01:02:44 --> 01:02:44

Okay.

01:02:45 --> 01:02:47

And also very important, if you are about

01:02:47 --> 01:02:51

to slaughter the pork or whatever, then you

01:02:51 --> 01:02:53

need to treat it well.

01:02:54 --> 01:02:54

We know this.

01:02:54 --> 01:02:56

It's not because it's a pork that all

01:02:56 --> 01:02:58

of a sudden you can mistreat it or

01:02:58 --> 01:03:00

take a baseball bat and start eating it.

01:03:02 --> 01:03:02

Yes.

01:03:03 --> 01:03:05

No, they wouldn't slaughter it in the name

01:03:05 --> 01:03:06

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

01:03:07 --> 01:03:07

Yes.

01:03:08 --> 01:03:08

No.

01:03:08 --> 01:03:12

Excuse me?

01:03:14 --> 01:03:16

Yes, but...

01:03:16 --> 01:03:22

You know when you drink wine, when a

01:03:22 --> 01:03:23

Muslim would drink wine, and some Muslims do,

01:03:25 --> 01:03:28

and they would say Bismillah before drinking it,

01:03:28 --> 01:03:31

according to a large group of ulama, they

01:03:31 --> 01:03:32

would be leaving Islam due to this.

01:03:34 --> 01:03:34

Why?

01:03:34 --> 01:03:37

Because the essence of it is haram.

01:03:37 --> 01:03:38

So when you are about to drink that

01:03:38 --> 01:03:40

wine, for example, you are not going to

01:03:40 --> 01:03:40

say Bismillah.

01:03:43 --> 01:03:45

Same with everything which is haram.

01:03:45 --> 01:03:47

If you say Bismillah, then that's really bad.

01:03:47 --> 01:03:50

But about the slaughtering in Bismillah, let me

01:03:50 --> 01:03:53

look up what the scholars might have of

01:03:53 --> 01:03:54

differences between that and get back to you

01:03:54 --> 01:03:55

next week.

01:03:55 --> 01:03:55

Is that good?

01:03:56 --> 01:03:57

So I'm sure of my answer.

01:03:57 --> 01:03:58

So forget my answer.

01:03:58 --> 01:03:59

Forget what I have said.

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

I want to verify.

01:04:01 --> 01:04:01

Is that good?

01:04:02 --> 01:04:02

Okay.

01:04:03 --> 01:04:04

Yes.

01:04:09 --> 01:04:10

That's no problem.

01:04:10 --> 01:04:12

I mean, it happened.

01:04:13 --> 01:04:15

You don't have to put your finger in

01:04:15 --> 01:04:17

your mouth to get it out or something.

01:04:17 --> 01:04:18

No, that's what some people do.

01:04:19 --> 01:04:20

If it happened, it happened.

01:04:22 --> 01:04:24

And you don't need to do istighfar unless

01:04:24 --> 01:04:29

you were in an environment where you don't

01:04:29 --> 01:04:30

expect to find halal.

01:04:31 --> 01:04:33

And then it's really your fault because you

01:04:33 --> 01:04:34

weren't cautious enough.

01:04:35 --> 01:04:36

So if you're in a place where you

01:04:36 --> 01:04:39

usually don't get halal meat or halal drinks

01:04:39 --> 01:04:41

or whatever, then firstly I wouldn't be in

01:04:41 --> 01:04:42

that place.

01:04:43 --> 01:04:45

Like for example, you are there, then you

01:04:45 --> 01:04:46

need to verify.

01:04:47 --> 01:04:49

This is a part of al-wara, of

01:04:49 --> 01:04:51

being cautious.

01:04:52 --> 01:04:52

Cautious.

01:04:53 --> 01:04:54

Okay.

01:04:54 --> 01:04:56

How long have we been going on?

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

Ten minutes?

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

Sixty-five.

01:05:06 --> 01:05:09

Okay, then we have to wrap up.

01:05:10 --> 01:05:12

So what I want you to do for

01:05:12 --> 01:05:17

next week, if you can do it, if

01:05:17 --> 01:05:19

you can write it on a Word document

01:05:19 --> 01:05:21

and then print it so that you give

01:05:21 --> 01:05:23

it to me here and that we can

01:05:23 --> 01:05:24

go over it.

01:05:24 --> 01:05:25

That is what we're going to do next

01:05:25 --> 01:05:25

week.

01:05:26 --> 01:05:27

So we're going to read what you have

01:05:27 --> 01:05:29

written and we're going to share it.

01:05:29 --> 01:05:31

If you don't want people to know your

01:05:31 --> 01:05:35

name, no problem, then you just mention, for

01:05:35 --> 01:05:36

example, no man, no name.

01:05:41 --> 01:05:42

No man, no name.

01:05:42 --> 01:05:42

Yes.

01:05:44 --> 01:05:46

I want to know who it is, but

01:05:46 --> 01:05:47

then I won't pronounce your name.

01:05:48 --> 01:05:49

But I don't see why.

01:05:50 --> 01:05:51

So this is it, inshallah.

01:05:52 --> 01:05:54

So what we took away today was quite

01:05:54 --> 01:05:55

a lot, I think.

01:05:56 --> 01:05:58

So we spoke about, you need to listen

01:05:58 --> 01:06:00

to it now, man, inshallah, at the very

01:06:00 --> 01:06:03

beginning, the Arabs' poetry, the importance of language

01:06:03 --> 01:06:04

and so forth.

01:06:04 --> 01:06:05

So we spoke about that.

01:06:06 --> 01:06:08

And then, subhanAllah, the importance of connecting fiqh

01:06:08 --> 01:06:10

to the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta

01:06:10 --> 01:06:10

'ala.

01:06:10 --> 01:06:12

So try to find these names.

01:06:12 --> 01:06:16

I want names only connected to fiqh or

01:06:16 --> 01:06:16

qiyamah.

01:06:18 --> 01:06:19

So not to what?

01:06:20 --> 01:06:21

Not to jannah or nar.

01:06:22 --> 01:06:25

So fiqh and qiyamah, not to jannah and

01:06:25 --> 01:06:25

nar.

01:06:25 --> 01:06:27

And then take five of them, each one

01:06:27 --> 01:06:30

of you, five names, five verses.

01:06:32 --> 01:06:37

I have started a seerah class every Sunday.

01:06:37 --> 01:06:40

If you want, it's not here.

01:06:41 --> 01:06:43

But you can attend if you like.

01:06:45 --> 01:06:46

Excuse me?

01:06:46 --> 01:06:47

Will it be streamed?

01:06:48 --> 01:06:49

No, it won't be streamed.

01:06:51 --> 01:06:52

It's in Sutton?

01:06:53 --> 01:06:54

It's in Sutton, yes.

01:06:55 --> 01:06:56

And what's the name of the centre?

01:06:56 --> 01:06:58

I don't know, but I contacted them about

01:06:58 --> 01:07:00

live streaming and they said that not right

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

now, but it will be available on live

01:07:01 --> 01:07:02

stream one day.

01:07:02 --> 01:07:03

Okay, okay.

01:07:03 --> 01:07:06

If you like, I can give you the

01:07:06 --> 01:07:07

address next time, inshallah.

01:07:09 --> 01:07:11

Or would you like, someone who would like

01:07:11 --> 01:07:11

to attend or not really?

01:07:12 --> 01:07:13

If it's in Sutton, would you come on

01:07:13 --> 01:07:14

a Sunday at four o'clock?

01:07:18 --> 01:07:18

Okay.

01:07:19 --> 01:07:21

Okay, then give me one second, please.

01:07:21 --> 01:07:23

No, no, no, it's good.

01:07:23 --> 01:07:24

I will do it right now.

01:07:24 --> 01:07:25

I have it here.

01:07:26 --> 01:07:33

Okay, so it's MCWAS and it's 80 Ruskin

01:07:33 --> 01:07:36

Road, Karshulton.

01:07:36 --> 01:07:39

Code is SM5 3DH.

01:07:41 --> 01:07:42

SM5 3DH.

01:07:43 --> 01:07:44

That's a free course.

01:07:45 --> 01:07:47

Only if you want to buy the book,

01:07:47 --> 01:07:48

then you need to pay for the book.

01:07:48 --> 01:07:51

It's the Fiqh Seerah of Sheikh Ramadan Al

01:07:51 --> 01:07:52

-Buti.

01:07:53 --> 01:07:56

And we are not going to tell a

01:07:56 --> 01:07:59

story, it's rather we're going to explore the

01:07:59 --> 01:08:01

communication techniques that the Prophet, peace be upon

01:08:01 --> 01:08:03

him, applied, the strategies, the way he built

01:08:03 --> 01:08:08

bridges, biased thinking, and polarity management, and leadership

01:08:08 --> 01:08:09

skills.

01:08:09 --> 01:08:11

So this is what we are going to

01:08:11 --> 01:08:12

explore during these eight weeks.

01:08:13 --> 01:08:15

So it's about two hours and 15 minutes

01:08:15 --> 01:08:16

during eight weeks.

01:08:17 --> 01:08:21

The introduction was last week and now we're

01:08:21 --> 01:08:22

going to start with the first one.

01:08:22 --> 01:08:24

There are about, now I think there will

01:08:24 --> 01:08:28

be about 100 people, students.

01:08:29 --> 01:08:32

So if you want to participate, welcome.

01:08:33 --> 01:08:34

Thank you.
