Yahya Ibrahim – Grill The Imam – Nov 29

			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Alhamdulillah I'm the shaqiri in WA Salatu was Salam O
Allah say he didn't want saline so you didn't know whenever he know what have you been? Mohamed
Salah la de who Allah and he was like to be with Selim Sleeman kathira Allahumma salli wa sallim wa
barik ala Sayidina Nabina. Muhammad, let's just jump straight into the questions in chat a lot.
		

			Do people with mental illness, have those mental illnesses because they are not religious and
reading and not reading the four? And it's an important question. And the answer is no. mental
illness is of different types in different categories. So there are certain mental mental illnesses
that people are born with. And it could be due to a change in their blood chemistry. It could be
that their mother or their father genetically also had mental illness in their family history. And
therefore it's a genetic
		

			gene that has been passed on to them. mental illness is like any other illness, it is something that
can be cured and that clinicians are able to help with some
		

			something
		

			that will require medical intervention in the term in the in the sense of pharmaceutics and
medicine, or sometimes it can be just a counsellor and a therapist. In other cases, more severe
cases, when it's in combination with other things that relate to harming of others, or self harm. It
may require a blending of different services to come together. One of the things that does help in
any aspect of life is of course, faith in Allah. There is another aspect that relates to mental
health, which could be things like depression that we've all faced, it isn't clinical depression,
it's not depression that has been with you for two weeks or longer. It's not a depression that has
		

			had a physical effect on you. But it's something where you feel sad, and you feel depressive and you
know, things are not right, and you just don't feel your your best. And that is Islam and religion
in general. faith in something bigger can help with those feelings of being overwhelmed and not
being able to cope on your own without a community. So why is Islam helpful? Well, one, Islam is a
communal faith, it requires that you go for a solo to do more and pray, so a lot of the Gemma and
the masjid and that you attend, or an classes and you get involved. So belonging to something bigger
than yourself helps you to push through number two, it allows you to do good for others, and charity
		

			and and you know, belonging and doing committed committed things towards helping others is one of
the best ways of feeling good about yourself, and removing yourself from a state where you are
unwell, unhappy, and in the state of beginning of stages of depression. So you want to get out there
you want to assist others, you want to provide help towards others, because it'll make you feel good
that you saw Yes, there are people who are struggling, like you're struggling, maybe more, maybe
less. But number two, that you can be a solution. And if you can be a solution to others, then
others can be a solution to yourself as well. Number three is to act and to get up and to force
		

			yourself to get out of your PJs to change your clothes. And even if you know even if you don't have
a job to go to that you change your clothes, you get yourself in a state where even if it's just
you're gonna walk outside, around the block and come back,
		

			that you've done something you've acted, you've committed towards something, we pray that Allah
subhana wa tada allows you and I to be able to fulfill, you know, things that can assist others with
their depression. What I will say as well is to check in and have others check in for you. So check
in with people and say I'm delighted I'm doing a little bit better. I was feeling a little bit down
last week. So check in with your local Imam, check in with your friends, check in with your family,
let them know you're okay. Let them know that you did have a rough patch and things were not always
as they seemed and that you did need support and ask them to support you in the way that you
		

			require. But number two is Don't feel shy when people check you out on you don't feel shy when
people ring you up and say how you feeling I know you went through a tough time and this and that.
Except that you will make that call for others at some point in time. Every single one of us needs
that phone call, there's always going to be something that happened that may require somebody to
come and assist us and provide that kind of counseling and that kind of service. So mental illness
is not simply because a person is not faithful in practice. Third thing that I want
		

			They say is there are states of being discontent, unhappy when everything seems that it should make
you happy, you're unhappy. And there's no Baraka in your life. And that's where Allah subhanho wa
Taala says, The men out all the time, they could be the one who turns away from my remembrance, the
one who stopped there, Sloboda who doesn't pay attention to the foreign and it's teaching for
intellectual mainshaft and Duncan, the sum of their life will be one of unhappiness. And that's
true. LLB, Vickery laptop, my email, Hadoop, how can a heart find tranquility except through
remembering a law that there's something bigger and greater than me that when things are bad a law
		

			is still in control when things are good, it's not just me that made it for myself or provided for
myself? There's some power in the world that is beyond myself. I don't take all the blame and I
don't take all the credit. A lot is the one shot Allah. That's why we say Masha, Allah, may Allah
has willed this for you, Allah has blessed me with this.
		

			So May Allah subhanaw taala, allow us to recognize him. Know that without the Koran without your
prayer, the world and its wealth will never be enough. The contentment that you find through a
connection to a lot cannot ever be replaced with any material thing, or object. And you will find
that some of the saddest, unhappy people are not necessarily those who don't have large homes.
Sometimes they live in mansions and drive. You know, Rolls Royce, and Lamborghinis. But that does
not buy happiness. I'm reminded of a documentary that aired about a month or so ago about Paris
Hilton, who you know, the word Hilton, the Hilton Hotels, well, she's one of the Harris's. She's one
		

			of those who inherits that, that kingdom of wealth. And she says, you know, there was this interview
with her, she had shoes and clothes and cars and prestige, and anything she wants at any time can be
provided. And she has the means to receive it. But she was sat there crying, and it actually breaks
your heart, that there's somebody who could do so much good with their wealth, but they always
looked at themselves first, that you could see why that they weren't happy, because the people that
are around them are vultures trying to take from them trying to use them, and not being genuine them
for who they are. Because sadly, they constructed a life of material, not a life of the heart and
		

			the Spirit. And I prayed that you can find the spirit as being the center of your life and my life
into the future. inshallah, we'll take one more question beating the Lady Diana.
		

			Is it wrong to mourn over non Muslims death? No, of course, sadness is normal. And to mourn for
someone is very, very normal. Anyone who says not is is unknowing of our faith. There is a famous
Hadith and incident in the life of the prophet SAW Selim, he was sitting with his companions, and
passing by were a group of Jewish people who were carrying,
		

			you know, one of their friends who had died a Jewish man. And as the prophet SAW the janazah come,
he said, stand up and everybody stood up, as the funeral procession went by. And then when it left,
he sat down, and they said Yasuda loss or I said, let me know who you are. Who the that was a
funeral of a Jew. Why do you stand up for it? Why do you acknowledge it? He said, lm Taku nefs la la
satnavs. Is it not a soul? Is it is it is this person, not a human being to be acknowledged that,
you know, he's gone to that which is prepared for his next life? God is the one who he stands before
today. You and I are able to provide levels of respect and to mourn within the boundaries taught to
		

			us by the prophet Muhammad Sallallahu it was sending him what prayers can we offer to a non Muslim
was passed away. We do not offer the same prayers that we would to a Muslim because those are river
reserved for Muslims. And that's very natural. I wouldn't expect the Catholic to do my to do last
rites for me as a Muslim. That's lecom Dena komaneka Deen. So the prayers that we make is Oh Allah,
whatever you know of them, give them what they are deserving of. I don't know what this person's
life has been what they knew in their heart what they believed in, Allah give them but I'm not going
to say Allah for level 100. The prayers will love grant them forgiveness and send water or power
		

			them and feel they're great would like the way I would make that drive of the profit for a fellow
Muslim. And that's normal. That's not something that is of contempt to the soul of the person who
has passed away, who is a Muslim. That's just a basic understanding of our faith. And it wouldn't be
something that I would be expecting from others. I don't expect Jewish people to mourn me by
offering Jewish prayers for me, or Catholic prayers for me. I would expect my Muslim brothers to
offer that janaza prayer in the drop for me and limited to that, and May Allah subhanho wa Taala
except from you and I the little good that we do and fill our homes and hearts with love and
		

			contentment a lot mean or suddenly love No sending was it what Radek Allah saved now whenever you
know Mohamed Salah love it was Selim akuto holy how there was stuff that Allahu Allah the mighty
