Taleem al Quran 2012 – P06 068E Tafsir Al-Maidah 5

Then Allah says Allah Yama or him Nana como la Heba. Today, this day, all good things are made permissible for you which did the day when this I was revealed when the deen was perfected on the day of Arafa at Hajj. So all good things are made permissible for you. And Allah subhanaw taala Allah makes clear that water amo and food have Alladhina Otto Kitab those people who are given the book, Hindalco, that is also permissible for you. So, two things are permissible here. What first of all, all good things. And secondly, the food of the people have the book is also permissible for you. Which food is this?

It doesn't refer to every kind of food, because water is also food, right? And if a Mushnik gives you water, can you not have it? Of course you can. If a machine gives you an apple, can you not have them? Of course you can. So which food is a problem? Which food is its meat? Okay, so meat is being spoken of over here. So what this aisle means is that the meat of the People of the Book even that is permissible for you to eat, meaning the meat that they eat, the animals that they slaughter, you can also eat of that. Now, this has been interpreted in two ways. Some scholars have said that any meat that they offer whether they have mentioned Allah's name on it or not,

okay, and the other scholars say that No, it has to be that meat on which the name of Allah subhanaw taala was mentioned. Because the thing is that if you take any meat that the Christians also eat pork Can you have that? You can't you can't do that they commit check. They could even mention recited salaams name on it if you got to eat meat an animal on which Muhammad saw a lot of sinners name was mentioned then you can't even eat that animal on which raison isms name was mentioned.

She said that back home, there are Christians who live in her country and when they slaughter they literally they mentioned the name of Silas LAMB OF THE HOLY SPIRIT of the letter of the Trinity, right. So the food of the people of the book is also permissible for you what are our Macomb Hello LA home and your food is also permissible for them. Meaning you are also allowed to offer your meat to them.

Okay, now what does this mean? That your meat and their meat is very similar. The way you slaughter and the way they slaughter is very similar. This is why it's okay for you to eat theirs. And it's okay for them to eat yours.

Okay, because the method of slaughtering is very, very similar. I'm not talking about how the Christian slaughter now because their deen is very, very different from how it was before. Okay. Basically, if you look at the Jewish way of slaughtering animals, it is very, very similar. It's almost identical. In fact, it is more strict, they use a knife that is much sharper, and they have to slaughter it in one go, it has to be very, very swift, okay. And likewise, the blood has to be completely drained of the animal, they're more strict. So this is why Allah says that you can eat theirs and they can eat yours, you can eat theirs and they can eat yours. Now there is a number of

things that inshallah we will discuss under this. First thing I want you to be clear about is that so far what we have learned about halal meat is that meat becomes Halal when first of all, the slaughter the hunter is who a Muslim or a Kitabi Kitab II meaning someone from the people of the book, a Jew or a Christian. Whereas if a mystic if an atheist was to slaughter an animal, and that meat is not permissible for you.

Okay, so the first thing is that the slaughter the hunter has to be a Muslim or a Cadabby. What's the evidence of this? Because obviously, if Allah is saying that you can eat their meat, that means what they have slaughtered. Okay, so that's the evidence. The second condition is that at the time of slaughter at the time of hunting, the name of Allah has to be mentioned. What's the evidence of that? So many verses just now we learned what gurus Mullah Ali in total and arm we learned don't eat of that on which Allah's name is not mentioned. Okay, so the name of Allah has to be pronounced and there's many Hadees also, that mentioned the same thing. The third condition is that the cat has to

be done. What is that that the blood has to be drained completely, which means that the animal must be slaughtered in such a way that the jugular vein guts got instant death and the most effective way of draining the blood. The maximum amount of blood is drained from the body. If these three conditions are met,

then you can eat of that meat, that meat is permissible for you to consume.

Now, when it comes to Jewish way of slaughtering, according to their law, and this is basically known as shortcuts. So, the show called The Slaughter when he slaughtered was the animal that like I mentioned, he has to use a particular kind of a knife he has to cut in a particular way. And it has to be a person who's had years of training experience, someone who is known for his good conduct in the community, not an ordinary person can slaughter and when they slaughter, remember that it is not considered an essential requirement for them to mention God's name, but they always do anyway. Chad has a copy. He's written a whole paper on this, you can find it on Muslim matters. He writes that

Hellenic law states that the shortcode should verbally blast the act of slaughter with a specific blessing. While this blessing is not considered an essential requirement, in practice, it is always done. And it is realistically inconceivable that a chauffeured intentionally abandons this blessing, meaning you will always mention it.

What is that statement? What are those words of blessing that they mentioned? The formulation of this blessing translates as blessing are you, God our God, Lord of the world, who sanctified us through His commandments and instructed us concerning proper animal slaughter? Is there any *can this? Is there any *can? This? No, there is no Sheikh whose name is being invoked? Only Allah subhanaw taala His name has been mentioned.

The only thing is that when they slaughter, so for example, they have 50 animals to slaughter, they will say this blessing only once at the beginning, they will not say for every single animal that they slaughter. This is the only difference.

Now, some Muslim scholars they consider that for every animal do you have to pronounce Bismillah.

And other scholars say that No, it's not a requirement. If you have 50, to 100 animals to slaughter. And when you're saying Bismillah at the beginning, you have the intention for all the animals, then you don't have to repeat every time. This is just like you have a plate of food before you and you say Bismillah before you eat, which means that everything that you put in your mouth thereafter, that Bismillah applies to every single morsel every single bite, you're not required to say Bismillah for every bite that you take. So this is why some scholars said that it is not necessary that you say Bismillah every time you slaughter the animal, if you said it once it is sufficient, as

long as you're Nia at that time was to slaughter all those animals.

And if there is a person who regularly says it, he knows you're supposed to say it. And if they forget is it possible to forget? Tell me, aren't we human beings? Yes, it is very much possible to forget. So for example, the person is going to start slaughtering the animals. And he usually says Bismillah he knows you're supposed to say. But he forgets and as soon as he passes the knife, he says, Oh, I didn't say Bismillah. So doesn't mean you can't eat of that animal. You can. Why? Because this was an Sen. And we make two out of Bonilla to Edna in the Siena, a partner in the Hadith we learned that in the CN, forgetfulness is something that this ummah is forgiven for. So as

long as the person who habitually regularly says Bismillah, once or twice he accidentally forgets, then it's not a problem.

So when it comes to kosher meat, what do we learn that you may eat it, because there's no schicke all the conditions are met.

But remember, that just because you go to a Jewish restaurant, it doesn't mean that it will be kosher. Make sure that you find out that it is kosher certified.

Someone once told us about this deli meat place and we're so happy that oh, it's kosher, kosher, kosher. And we found out that their meat is not blessed, meaning it's not actually kosher meat is a standard, whatever they get. It's just kosher style, but not slaughtered in the kosher way. So therefore, it's very important that we are careful. Now, of course, you're clear. What about Christians? And what about the land of the people of the book? Like for example, we're living in Canada. And this is what many Muslims argue that, well, this is the land of the people of the book. So the meat that is available here is the meat of the people of the book so you can eat anything.

Now tell me something. Is everyone in this country besides Muslims, is everyone Christian or Jewish? No, they're not. There's a large percentage of

non Christian and Jewish people in this country. And in every Western country, whether they are mushrik, or they're atheist, or there's something else, there is a large percentage of them. And when they're slobbering, the animals they're working in slaughterhouses Tell me, are they all Christian? Are they all Jewish? No, not necessarily. There could be people of different faiths. And we know that the correct method is not applied when it comes to slaughtering the animals, except for just a few places. Like we learned that the cat is not done, the blood is not drained completely. Likewise, the animal could be dead as well. It may not be an animal that was alive when it was

slaughtered. So in that case, what should be done?

It is said that if the region where the meat mentioned is found has only People of the Book, namely Jews and Christians than their need is halal.

Even if it is not known how they slaughtered it.

So you don't know how they slaughter? You come to a place. It's all us all Christians. Like for example, there are these Christian communities spread all over North America, Mennonite communities, you know about them.

That how they raise their own animals and slaughter them themselves. And men even have beards, women wear scarves, they wear long dresses, fornication is something that's not allowed. I mean, they have their own practices. Now there are Christians, you don't know how to slaughter their meat, if you happen to go there. And you eat their meat, there is no harm if you don't know how to slaughter, but if you know how they slaughter, and they mentioned or you saw this, and I was named for instance, then you can eat it.

Likewise, you go to a friend's house and she's Jewish, and she offers you meat, and you know that she is proper about her religion, she follows her religion, then in that case, can you eat the meat? Yes, you can.

The point is that you don't have to ask and investigate. This is just like when you meet a Muslim, when you go to Muslims house, they give you meat, do you not eat it? Do you ask them which which did you buy it from? Was Bismillah pronounced on it? Is it from Maple lodge or is it from this or is it from this? If you start asking those questions, it is wrong. You should not interrogate the person who is serving you meat unless there is a strong reason for you to do so. And it is said that if there are other disbelievers in the region, then do not eat it because that means there is doubt as to whether it is halal or haram.

Similarly, if you know that those who sell these meats slaughter the animals in a way that is different from the shuttering method, such as strangling or electric shock, then do not eat it. Whether the one who slaughtered it is a Muslim or a cafe. Okay, so tell me something. If a Muslim offers you meat and you know that it's not halal, will you eat it? No. So likewise, if a Christian or a Jew offers you meat, and you know it's not halal, and how can you eat it then

if from a Muslim you can only accept Halal then from a Kitabi also, you can only accept that which meets the requirements that Allah subhanaw taala has given? Is it clear? So you can eat their meat and they can eat your meat as well? Why? Because you slaughter animals in a very similar way.

Okay, you have the benefit of the doubt, meaning that if you don't know how exactly the slaughter, you can trust them that they slaughter correctly, properly, and you can eat from them. But if you have a strong reason to believe that they don't slaughter properly,

like for example, you go to a fast food restaurant here, you have a strong reason to believe they don't slaughter properly. But if you go to a Mennonite community, if you go to a hardcore Jewish restaurant, then you have reason to believe that their meat is okay for you to eat. You don't have to go ask them.

So for example, you go to a Muslims house, and you know that there are some people who are Muslim and they eat meat that is not the behavior.

So in that case, should you ask them? Or should you not ask them directly or indirectly? It's better you don't ask why? Because I should have to know what and how when she asked the Prophet salallahu Salam, there are people who bring me to us we don't know if it's halal or not if they have slaughtered the animal properly or not. So what should we do? What did he say? To say Bismillah needed if a Muslim gives you meat, then trust them.

But if you see them slaughtering incorrectly, you see them, then you can't do that you have to go and tell them what they did was wrong, you have to educate them.

Likewise, if you know that Christians today don't slaughter properly, then don't eat their meat because you have any of their Hopper

if the food is halal, but let's say the packaging may have some Jewish symbol on it or a Christian symbol on it

Then in that case, can you eat it? Yes, you can. Because the I'm home. Hello.

Unless it is a part of their religious ritual dedicated, offered to resign this the numbers or Korea or Islam or whatever then in that case you don't?

The question is that sometimes you know you're buying meat and it says halal, they say that it's halal, so you buy it from them. Then later on, somebody comes and tells you by the way, they're not actually halal. They don't slaughter the meat properly. And this is the reason and this is a reason this is a reason. So should you go and investigate and research and find out? Or should you just stick to just accept their word for it, meaning accept the butcher's word for it. The thing is that you shouldn't accept the butcher's word for it. If they're saying it's halal, trust them.

Okay, if they're saying certified, halal, certified Halal by someone by some fifth Council, by Muslim authority by some knowledgeable Muslim person, so in that case, you will accept it. But if there is one complaint after the other, and people want to know how their meat is slaughtered, where their meat is coming from, then you will have the full right to investigate, provided that you can if you can investigate, then go ahead and do it. But if you can't, and you're just talking about it's spreading confusion amongst people, then don't do that. Either. Go find out, investigate. And if you don't have the ability to do that, then just be quiet. Don't just talk. Because

unfortunately, what we do is we just talk and we spread rumors, and we spread confusion and chaos like this, that people are never sure about what they're eating. At one point they will eat another point they won't eat it. So first of all, trust the Muslim who is giving you meat. Secondly, if you have a strong reason to believe that no other meat is not halal, then in that case you investigate when you can. And if you can't do it, then stop talking about it. Don't eat from there when you don't feel comfortable, but at the same time, don't make other people just a subject of your conversation all the time.

Where if you go to a fast food restaurant like pizza, pizza pizza and they say they have halal food, but they also sell non Halal stuff. So what do you do then? Do you like of course you can eat the Hello. I mean, if they're saying it's halal, he could have X burger and they say they have Halal brokers enjoy them. Honestly, why if they have said it's halal, they have separate brands separate everything for it. Why not? This is just like you go to the grocery store you find halal meat section, and haram meat section. What do you do you pick it from the halal meat section.

So first of all their meat is halal. Secondly, Allah says well, Marcelin our terminal Minetti after food, marriage, so muslin, our terminal movement, meaning lawful for you in marriage or who more SONET chaste women. We have done this word earlier. Mr. Santa gives meaning of chest as well to chest women from Mangu. With me now from the believing women, meaning you can marry chest believing women.

What does this indicate that men are encouraged to marry chaste, believing women? Decent believing women, women who protect themselves who guard their chastity,

who are not unchaste? How do you define chaste and unchaste? Who is a chaste woman? Someone who

discovers herself. Okay, that is part of it, because that is part of her that is part of chastity to be dressed in a modest way. Okay. That's one thing. Secondly, someone who has like 50 girlfriends, and she just chats with them and talks with them and hangs out with them. And brother, sister, you know, is that considered chastity? Is that considered decency? No, it's not. How is it possible that a Muslim can have so many friends who are non Muharram to her? And she talks to them, she jokes with them, she hangs out with them. She goes out to eat with them. She sits with them whenever she's free. And she cries with them. She laughs with them. This is not decency. My dear sisters. This is

not chastity.

A chaste woman is someone who protects herself from the men. And you may have a friend who is a guy and he may never express that he likes you or he loves you. But you know what, he's a man. And it's not possible that a man sees a woman and he doesn't find her attractive. There will be some attraction that he will find in

her.

So one more slide out I mean, at which women are Muslim men encouraged to marry women who are chaste. But unfortunately, it's sad that girls haven't even reached puberty and they're asked, Do you like somebody? Do you like somebody, and girls are always talking about, oh, I have a crush on this guy. And I like this man. He's so cute. And he's like this. And this is the reason why girls dress up in a way that is immodest, as though attracting men towards them. What do you want to achieve? By dressing up in that way, by walking in front of men in that way, by talking to them in that way? I'm not saying don't talk to them, don't go before them, don't interact with them. That's

impossible. You have to interact, you have to live with them.

But there is one way which is acceptable. And another way, which is not acceptable. So check yourself, the men that I know who are non Muharram, whether they are relatives, or not, whether I go to school with them, or I work with them, I once knew them. How do I interact with them? How free? Am I with them? How comfortable Am I with them?

Because the more comfortable you are, the more free you become with them, there's more chances of crossing the limits that Allah subhanaw taala has set more chances. So be careful, always maintain a professional distance. And what does it mean by that? That, first of all, in the physical sense, there should be a distance. I remember, Sister in law shared with me that when she was in school, her mother taught her that any boy in your class has to be an arm's length away from you, physically, an arm's length away from you, if you have to sit next to a guy and make sure there's an arm's length distance between you and him.

So first of all, a physical distance. And secondly, a professional distance as well, in the way that you speak, in the way that you interact with them in the way that you work with them.

This is very important. Because otherwise, the limits that Allah subhanaw taala has said, they get crossed, they get violated. And as a result, we put ourselves in difficulty. Women put themselves in difficulty. So many times it happens that they get married, eventually. And then what happens, their husband finds out about some boy whom they had a crush years ago, whom they liked years ago, whom they exchanged funny emails with a few years ago. And then their husband doesn't want to trust them. Tell me Tell me yourself, Would you like a husband? Who's had an affair with someone?

Would you ever want a husband? Who had a girlfriend? Would you ever want a husband, who has many girls whom he likes, and there are many girls who like him? If you don't want that in your husband, don't make yourself a wife, for another husband who's like that.

Because no husband wants that your wife either. If you want a pure husband, be a pure woman yourself as well.

Be a pure girl yourself as well.

Here we are at the Utah State University Library for some interviewing, do ask people if they believe that men and women can be just friends. So let's go inside and see what we can find. You believe that men and women can be just friends? Yes. Yeah, of course. Yes, I do. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I think

it it'd be hard to do. Yes. I mean, we're all men. So of course, we're going to have those feelings. And we can

we can be content with just friendship, but and we can be silent regarding those feelings, but we're going to have them. Yes.

No, no, no. Yes. Yes.

I don't believe so. No, I guess all I'm saying is no.

Okay, we'll walk with you. Do you believe men and women can be just friends? Yeah, yes. Yes. Okay. Do you have any guy friends? Right now? You're just friends? Yeah. Oh, yeah. All my best friends are guys. Dave Trevor Taylor. Morford. Bobby Collins, you know, over two years of those guy friends. Do you think any of them secretly like you? And be honest? Probably. Yeah. Do you think that guy is interested in you? Yes.

Okay, maybe you can only be just friends in high school because most guys won't just be my friend. Would Dave hook up with you if if you gave him the chance? Oh, yeah. Do you think Trevor liked you?

Yeah.

What do you

hook up with you if you want it, okay.

So he likes you. So what you're saying is men and women can't be friends. No, we can be friends. But you're just friends. But he likes you.

Yes. So it's a one sided friendship.

That was one instance of if she wanted to hook up would you hook up? No, totally.

W sarcastic I need the truth. There's Yeah. All right. There we go. All right, that's perfect. Okay. Because of physical attraction, it's not possible.

But you said I just want to be just friends. Yeah. Do you literally believe that he's not interested in you at all?

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. As we can see, after interviewing everyone in the library, it is impossible for men and women to be friends.

Under no circumstances can happen.

That's a wrap.

I don't have to say anything.

One more One. Atul Mina Mina,

chaste women from the believing women. With your Eman The only thing that affects you is chastity.

decency.

One more son Atul Mina Alladhina Otto Kitab, Amina publikum, and the chaste women from those people who were given the book before you, meaning you are also allowed to marry them. A Muslim man is supposed to marry who a chaste woman, a decent woman, someone who guards her chastity who doesn't have girlfriends? Who doesn't have illicit relationships with others. No, she is someone who guards her private parts. Her honor, her chastity, and she could be a believing woman, a Muslim woman. And she could also be a key Tabby woman. What does it mean by Kitabi? Woman, someone from the People of the Book, Jewish or Christian.

But there is a condition when you marry women, either Tatum or Hoonah, or dura Hoonah. You have to give them their will do due to the Florida budget and what does it refer to their Maha at the time of marriage, a man is obligated to give them a hug to the woman. So whether he's marrying a Muslim woman or a Christian woman or a Jewish woman, it doesn't matter. He has to give her them a hug. Why? Because this is what Islamic law demands of him. Now think about it. When a man will marry a Christian woman, it will not be according to Christian law, it will be according to Islamic law which means that Nikka has to be conducted. The witnesses have to be there, the Wali has to be

there, and the man has to be given. So when this is the case with marriage, the same thing applies to food, that when you will eat their food, it has to meet the requirements of Islamic law. So either Tatum Ohana or doula Hoonah and once you marry them, mostly Nina, ones who fortify themselves in marriage, meaning the men when they married the women, they must fortify themselves in marriage. In other words, they live with them only with Nikka.

They don't just cohabit with them. They don't just live with them without any Nikka know, if they have relationships with them, they live with these women they have to have Nikka McSweeney Leila must have your hand. Not Mustafa Hain was ever named Laura love Musa. And we have read all these words earlier intuitiveness what does it mean Xena so not living with them just to fulfill your physical desire? No, not committing Zina with the women. Rather you have to marry them. There has to be Nikka

Well, now I'm with the Hindi then. Nor should you be taking secret friends with the Hindi floral of MATA his one who takes one who makes a dance floor love hidden, harder, unknown. And who is that a secret lover? A person whom you don't tell other people about but you love them. They love you. And there is also physical relationship between the two. So don't take them as secret girlfriends as secret boyfriends No. This is only possible with Nikka Willa McDuffie.

Now, over here, we see that the Muslim men have been allowed to marry Christian or Jewish women. Not that a Muslim woman is allowed to marry a Christian men or Jewish men. This must be very clear to us.

Why isn't this unfair?

Assignment a lot of the time the man is in control. So

or if the woman tries to persuade him into changing his religion, he's probably most likely going to be firm on that. But the woman is kind of less compared to the man. So she's probably going to be easily forced, convinced, yeah, convinced to change her religion. Okay, that's a reason. But sometimes men get easily convinced by their wives as well. Right? Like, for example, if a woman has made up her mind that she wants to move to a different country, then she can convince her husband sometimes isn't impossible. Right? Because strong men, they become weak and helpless before their wives. She cries just once and all his ego disappears. She sheds tears a few times, and that's it,

he will surrender.

Basically, we see that typically, generally, in a relationship, who is more dominant, typically, I'm not talking about Muslims, I'm talking about others as well. Generally, the more dominant one is the man. And even if the woman is dominant in another respect, usually the final say is with who the man and physically who's stronger. The man is, generally who's making financial decisions, the man is

and in our deen, the men are who are aware of which means that a good wife should be obedient to her husband. Now, if a Muslim woman is a good wife, and her husband happens to be a Christian, and he says, we have to celebrate Christmas, we have to do things this way. We have to do things this way. Then what is she doing? She's disobeying her husband on one hand, or she will be disobeying Allah. Do you see what I mean? She's always in a confusion. Either she's disobeying Allah or she's disobeying her husband. In both cases, she's in trouble. She shouldn't disobey her husband, she shouldn't disobey Allah. Okay. So it is difficult for a woman to be in a position such as that.

Although we see that the man is the one when he is the COA, he's supposed to leave the family. And when he's leaving the family, he's making the decisions. So when he's making the decisions, the wife has to comply.

And they may be decisions which are on Islamic that are not according to Islamic law. So in that case, she will compromise a lot when it comes to her Deen. There is a lot of compromise. Too much of a compromise. So she will either lose her deen or she will lose her husband. So this is the hikma basically why a woman has not been allowed to marry a non Muslim.

However, at the end of the day for us is sufficient that Allah has not given that permission. When Allah has not given us that permission, then Samira, Anna, what else are we hear and we obey children who are born out of a marriage, then whose descendants are the, of the Father. So the father has to be a Muslim, so that those children who are born they are also Muslim, meaning they have Muslim lineage. And on the other hand, if a mother is Muslim, and the Father is not, in that case, the children they don't belong to the Muslim community unless they become Muslim themselves.

Allah says well, maniac for Bill Imani and whoever disbelieves with iman. Meaning he says he's a believer, but at the same time you commit to actions of gopher. He does what disbelievers do. He eats what they eat, he marries the way they marry. He lives the way they live. Well, my yak phobia Imani fficult, habit or Malou, then his deeds are wasted. wahala Phil hirato middle class citizen and he is in the hereafter of the losers.

He's of the losers in the hereafter. Now this part of the eye is very serious. It basically guidance with regards to everything that we have learned so far pertaining to halal and haram. That it seems difficult sometimes to follow these commands to observe them. But remember that this is part of Eman.

If we say we're a Muslim, we have to live like a Muslim. We have to eat like a Muslim. Drink like a Muslim marry like a Muslim. You can't mix these two things up Eman and Cofer. They don't come together. They don't stay together. They don't blend together. They cannot coexist in a person.

If a person says he's a believer, he does the actions of gopher. His good deeds are useless they will be nullified because he will have accumulated so many sins, that his good deeds will be wiped out. Don't we learn about a person who consumes haram? His body is nourished on halal food and when he lifts up his hand to pray to Allah. Then how will his daughter be accepted? When his clothes are

from haram, and his body is made of Hall how so he who does the actions of gopher his good deeds are wasted and such a person the hereafter is often losers. It may seem that if we are living Islamically according to Islamic laws and we are losing out on the fun on the enjoyment, but remind yourself that the greater loss is which one, not of this world, but of the Hereafter, because every loss of this world can be replaced by something else by something better, but the loss of the Hereafter the failure of the Hereafter is final. Nothing, nothing you can do after that can make up for it.
