00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Is it allowed to make dua against the
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			oppressors?
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Because I went quiet. Why? Are you afraid?
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			Yes. Are you afraid of the oppressors?
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			Islam.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			Is it allowed to make dua against the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			oppressors,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			the abusers,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			those who are,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			unfortunately taking advantage of the weak and the
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			vulnerable?
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			Is it?
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			Is it is it allowed to make it
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			specific
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			by mentioning people by name?
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			So this is a discussion for this dua
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			that we have in the Quran in Surat
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			Nuh, chapter 71,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			ayaat from 26 until 28, which is the
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			the end of the Surah, 26 through 28.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			The dua or the words of Nuhari Salam
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			as Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala documented for us
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			and recorded for us in the Quran.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			This is a very scary dua especially coming
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			from someone like Nuh alaihi salam. He says
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			Allah subhanahu reported him saying, Nuh,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			supplicate and pray. My Lord,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			do not leave a single disbeliever on earth
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			for if you spare any of them, they
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			will certainly mislead your servants
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			and give birth only, and they will give
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			they will give birth only to wicked sinners,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			staunch disbelievers.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			And he says, my lord, forgive me, my
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			parents, and whoever enters my house in faith
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			and all believing men and women and increase
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			the wrongdoers only in destruction.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			Did you guys hear that dua?
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			That dua led to what?
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			Led to what? The flood.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			Allah answered the dua wu no, alayhi salam,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			a little destruction
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			of the people at that time
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			which is why the ulema today, they're asking
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			the question,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			is it permissible to make this dua?
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			Like, are we allowed to use the dua
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			of Nuh, alayhis salam,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			against our oppressors, against the disbelievers, against the
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			IDF for example, Muzadda,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			those who take advantage of the weak and
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			so on. Are you allowed to make this
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			dua? So that's why the ulama they have
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			the dispute over this matter because some of
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			them they say,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			no, you cannot.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			Why?
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			Because Nuh himself
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			on the day of judgement, what is he
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			gonna say?
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			And if you own the hadith of Shafa'a,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			the long hadith of Shafa'a,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			Nuh alayhis salaam,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			the people will be going to Adam, they
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			will going to Nuh, Ibrahim,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			Musa, Isa, Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi salaam, asking Allah
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			as a will to begin the account.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			And every prophet of the list that we
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			mentioned
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			will have an excuse
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			to spare themselves for making this making this
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			dua or I can't. I'm not the one
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			qualified for this.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			What caused Nuhalaihi Salam to feel disqualified
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			for making that plea to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			ta'ala? What was that?
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			This dua.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			He said
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			he when the people come to him, You
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			are
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			the messenger of God, the first messenger ever.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			You're the one who did You want this,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			you're this and that.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			He said, nafsi nafsi,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			stay stay away from me, stay away from
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			me.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			I worry about myself. Allah has given me
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			an answered call, an answered dua, and I
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			made it against the people.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			So I fear the result of that destruction.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			So that's why they say if Nuh himself
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			regretted that dua at some point, then he
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			shouldn't be doing that.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			However, the other opinion says look, even the
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			prophet
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			he made dua against the disbelievers
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			and even made dua against these believers by
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			name.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			He made dua against tribes
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			like he said,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			They betrayed the emissaries, the prophet sent with
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			them and they killed them. So the prophet
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			made dua against them 40 days in salah.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			Making dua against him for the people to
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			say I mean for it. Right?
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			And also the prophet
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			on bar in the barrel of Badr, what
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			did he say?
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			So he started calling them by name. You
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:16
			Allah,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			do with this person, do with this person,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			take care of this person.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			And all these were named in the dua
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			of the prophet
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			were killed on the battlefield.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			So from that, the Anamah, they say it
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			is okay to make that dua against the
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			oppressors
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			and against those who
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			are wrongdoers.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			But we're not talking about wrongdoers who wronged
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			you on an individual level.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			Like someone, for example, cheated you with a
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			with a business deal or someone, you know,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			hurt you with a few words away or
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			someone did, someone did that. I mean, it's
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			better for you to make dua for their
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			guidance.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			But am I allowed to make dua against
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			them? May Allah do this person for what
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			they have hurt me so much.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			You are, seems to be. But better for
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			them to make dua because these are non
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			believers. We talk about believers here right now.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			But those disbelievers,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			to call for a mass destruction for all
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			of them, that's why the ulama, they have
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:08
			the issue.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			Because that was the time of no, alayhis
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			salam and Allah gave them that answer and
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			that was it. Which is why, subhanallah, specifically
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			from the time of Musa alaihi salam,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			Khallas, there was no more,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			destruction for nations.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			All the nations that were destroyed before like
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			what?
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			The the people of Hud, the people of
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			Lut, the people of They're all destroyed, those
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:30
			nations.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			But the nation that where that destruction stopped
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			was at the time of Musa alaihi salam.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			So when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave victory
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			to Musa against the Firaun, who was destroyed?
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			The Firaun and his army.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			What about Egypt? Was it destroyed? It wasn't.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			The people, the followers of Firaun, were they
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:49
			destroyed?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			No. So that destruction was removed.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			So that's why you have the option to
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			make du'a for their guidance
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			or if you believe that, you know what,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			where I am right now, these people, they
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			crossed every decent line that you can even
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:04
			think of.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			And like we were talking about this last
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			night with Sheikh Omar, he's allowed to make
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			dua against those oppressors in Gaza, for example,
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			who kill innocent people, men, women,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:14
			indiscriminately
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			and having joy
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			practicing
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			their shooting skills on them. Absolutely.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			Those people just say may Allah curse them.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			May they be cursed. Maybe they destroyed.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			May Allah do with them and show us
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			an example in their destruction
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			because they've crossed every single offensive
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			line whether it's actually moral,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35
			religious,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			and even international law.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			And they heed for nothing.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			So, there is no justice that's gonna bring
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			them to their knees except for the divine
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			justice of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So, you're
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			the advocates.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			So you make dua for them basically for
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			the for to bring justice for the oppressed.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			So therefore,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			this dua,
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			be careful
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			using it. As we practice it, like I
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			said,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			you don't use it for anybody.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			But if if there is a situation where
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			there's a great injustice and oppression
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			from those,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08
			yeah, disbelievers,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			then definitely make that dua against them. What
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			about against a Muslim
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			nation?
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			Can I make duha of destruction against a
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:18
			Muslim nation?
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			No, you shouldn't.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			You should ask for their guidance.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			Ask for Allah Subhanahu to deliver them out
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			of this, injustice,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			to bring justice on their hand.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			But if someone wronged you specifically, are you
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			allowed to make dua against them? Of course,
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			Allah subhanahu says,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			Allah does not like from you to express
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			those words, ill words of dua against others
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			except those who've been wronged.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			Although Allah says
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			That if you forgive, if you overlook, if
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			you're, you know, have with them, that is
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			better for you. So take the route of
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			ihsan and forgiveness
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			better than the route of vengeance and revenge.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			Again, it's allowed for you to seek that
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			route but it's better for you to have
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:06
			that peace.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			So, we're gonna make this
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			As you guys can see, we still have
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			2 more dua to cover.
