Yasir Qadhi – How Do We Understand the adth About the Obligation of Having an Oath of Allegiance Q&A – EP 259

			Our second question from Brother Zane in Mauritius beautiful island Mauritius I've never visited
shallow one day I'll go to Mauritius brother's name from Mauritius he emails it's a very long
question summary of it is that there's a certain movement or preacher I'm not aware of who's talking
about so just for the record, that there is a Hadith in Sahih Muslim that is being used by
		

			certain trends or whatnot, in which the people are being encouraged to give their oath of allegiance
to this movement. And the Hadith in question is, whoever dies without having the Oath of Allegiance
around his neck, dies the death of John Helia, whoever dies without having the Oath of Allegiance
around his neck dies the death of John Healy. So he's asking, Well, what do we do now? There's
somebody saying that, okay, this hadith is telling you to make br Or oath and there is no Khalifa
Imam. So you must give it to me, and therefore that will save you from the death of God. Yeah. And
I'll add another question. Somebody emailed a long, long time ago, that brother Omar asks about the
		

			Hadith, that the leaders shall be from the Quran and he says that is it true that in Islam, the
Khalifa has to be from the Porsche 107 mean Kobe league in Region? No, he him first IRLO lickity

			so as for the first question about this hadith it is an authentic hadith is assigned Muslim. And it
is interesting that the longer narration is as follows, Abdullah bin Omar visited Abdullah Nimal
tear during the time of the hara war. I'll explain all of this now, during the reign of zt had been
more aware. And when Abdullah nimble saw it when Omar calm he said spread the question for our
esteemed guest. And he said I haven't come to chit chat. I haven't come to dilly dally I haven't
come to sit down, I have come to tell you a hadith that I heard from the Prophet sallallahu it he
was sent them I heard the Prophet salallahu it he was sent them say that whoever takes away his oath
		

			of allegiance, he shall meet Allah subhanho wa Taala without any evidence, and whoever dies, and he
does not have an oath around his neck shall die the death of Jahai whoever dies without having an
oath of allegiance shall die the death of Jai Helia. Now, this hadith, the context of it is actually
very, very interesting. By the way, if you want a more detailed
		

			story of what happened or the analysis of what happened, I have a library chat of mine on my YouTube
channel. If you log on now, there's a library chat that I've given it is called certain incidents in
the first century of the hedgerow is a very cryptic title, because I don't want to draw more
attention to it because it's a very detailed topic about certain incidents that took place in the
first century of the hero and one of the first century, not the first year. And one of these
incidents is the incident about Herat, which is being referenced over here, and the incident about
how it is a very sad, sad, sad tragedy in which during the reign of EWZ, they've been more aware
		

			during the reign of visit. Meanwhile, we have Medina was ransacked and pillaged and raped and
plundered Medina, the city of Medina, and hundreds of people were killed most many of the sons of
the Sahaba and grandsons of the Sahaba and many other atrocities took place in this timeframe. And
before the incident took place, Abdullah had been Omar visited one of the main leaders, our beloved
New multi, I believe in in Volterra was the son of one of the senior members of the Quraysh. And so
he was the leader of the Quraysh. And even Humberto was the leader of the unsought. So there were
two leaders one from the Qureshi and one from the unsought one from the Mahajan or from the unsought
		

			Abdullah maltier was the leader of them were hydron and even Omar visits him and they've been Omar
says to him, you shouldn't be doing this. I heard the Prophet salallahu it who said him say whoever
removes his hand for after having given the Oath of Allegiance shall meet Allah without any
evidence, and whoever dies without having the Oath of Allegiance will die the death of God. Now, the
context is that even multi-year had withdrawn his allegiance from the Omiya dynasty and even multi
had not elected a Khalifa there was no Khalifa. So there was no caliphate yet, even Zubaydah,
meaning in his eyes, even Zubaydah was in Makkah. Yazeed was in Damascus, and even multi-year was in
		

			Medina, and there was talk of the Medina and rebels, allying with even azubi There was talk but it
hadn't yet been formalized. So right
		

			Now, this group had broken away from Yazidi, but they didn't quite have a Khalifa. So they're broken
away and they are now against the OMA yet empire. Now, again, it's really interesting to note that
during this timeframe, there were multiple strands amongst the Sahaba and Sons of the sahaba. It
wasn't unanimous, there was not one strand, you had multiple strands amongst the sahaba. And the
sons of the sahaba. You had those who openly rebelled against Diomedes openly rebelled, most
prominent was her saying the grandson of the prophets was himself and you had even zubaid You know,
the companion the son of the companion the grandson and the companion even Abdullah bin is obeyed is
		

			rebelling against the OMA Yes. And you had a been humbler, you know, the senior most of the
uncertainties and you had abnormal tear. They are openly rebelling against the OMA yet. You also had
another senior strand who did not unsheathed the sword, but their voice was very anti Omiya. Very
anti critical. And amongst them were people like our own mother, I showed the loved one how she was
definitely not a fan. And she criticized and or Muslim and many of the, you know, Senior Companions,
they were highly critical. Abdurrahman, me Becker, highly critical of the OMA yurts, but they did
not join wars and battles against them. So they're vocal critics and they're not happy and what is
		

			going on? Then you had those who are very quiet artistic, such as Eben O'Meara in this hadith, even
Omar is the one who represents and embodies complete quietism. He's not siding with, but he's not
against, and he's just a political. And then you had those who actually allied with the OMA Yes, and
you had some of the Sahaba, Yanni ambivalences amongst them and others and some of the sons of the
sahaba. So this aroma, even sadder, maybe will cost whose role is well known in the incident of the
Karbala and whatnot. So many of the sons of the Sahaba and whatnot, were actually allied with the
OMA yet and completely on their side. And there's other spectrums. So I just, I've just given you
		

			four spectrums, right here. And it is interesting to note that all of these are Sahaba, and Sons of
the sahaba. And all of them are well aware of these traditions of a hadith. And they're interpreting
them, you know, differently. And that's a very, very key point here, that it needs to be understood.
This hadith needs to be understood in the context of the very people upon whom it is being said, and
they're seeing it in different ways. So the hadith is indeed authentic, and the existence of a
Muslim. And what we are being told is that no one should live without a society or without a group
without a leadership where possible, generally speaking, the default is that a Muslim should be in a
		

			society that is based upon the morals and the laws of Islam. And when such a system exists, then we
should co opt and we should adopt and we should respect the authority, the legitimate Khalifa. And
that's the reality of most of our existence for the last 14 centuries, is that there were there was,
at least in some parts of the world, a society that is, generally speaking based upon the laws of
Islam. Now, generally speaking, again, it wasn't a utopia, there was lots of issues and lots of
problems. And definitely, most of us do not quite understand that, you know, there were lots of
problems even in that world. But still, it was a land where, by token, and by in many ways, as well,
		

			the morality was by and large Islamic morality, obviously, all of that changed with the collapse of
the caliphate. And you know, multiple strands and movements have come about this is not the time to
get into this, you know, but obviously, for the last 100 years, we have been grappling with these
issues, these types of a hadith that well, there is no Khalifa now. So multiple strands have come,
you know, since the collapse of the caliphate, you know, you had the Khilafat movement of Hindustan,
which ironically resulted in the creation of Pakistan, it was a byproduct of that movement. You had
the movements of Heston, abandon Modi that really felt the need to revive an actual model of Islamic
		

			government in the modern world. You had the breakaway movements of taketina money who maybe took it
even more strict then these other movements and then you had the a political movements as well, that
kind of sort of almost shrugged and said, What can we do against this tidal wave of colonization and
whatnot, let's just concentrate on ourselves. And you had you know, in India, Pakistan, you had the
famous movements of Mohammed Ahmed Hussein and Rasheeda Ganga he and others who founded in the city
of Durban they founded a famous movement and also had a mother as a Han as well found his movement
as well. Generally speaking, these movements really did not prioritize getting involved with the
		

			British or against the British, it was more about themselves, and that kind of sort of lasted with
their followers that generally speaking, they're more interested in you know, the masses and the
self purification according to their own
		

			paradigms and across the globe. I mean, obviously,
		

			India and Egypt because of their, their, their historical records, their movements became far more
global. But the reality is, there were similar types of movements all the way from Indonesia, you
know, all the way to North Africa, there were all these types of movements that what is to be done
and after the collapse of the caliphate, and I'm not going to go over all of these movements right
now. But all of these mainstream Sunni movements respect the Sunnah, they respect Sahih Muslim and
this hadith in Sahih Muslim and they are having their interpretations about it. Let us not take one
interpretation as the end all be all and let us avoid those interpretations that are leading to
		

			cultish mentalities, it appears to me that whatever this trend is, it wants you to think that the
majority of the OMA has gone astray. And they're going to die the death of Julia dear brother in
Islam follow mainstream rule AMA, don't go to the the fringe movements don't go to those movements
that are extremely atypical and personality based, the majority of the OMA is not upon Bartel and
incorrect theology, you cannot expect 1.2 billion Muslims to all be misguided because they haven't
given the bait or the oath of allegiance. So the Hadith applies when there is a legitimate
authority. And if a person rejects that authority, well, then that is something we need to talk
		

			about and discuss. And by the way, even then, there's interpretations where I've just given you four
interpretations here, just like in early Islam, people understood this hadith in different ways. So
to in our times, as well, you know, we should, we should understand that there are multiple
interpretations out there. And as long as you know, you stick with a mainstream one, in my humble
opinion, this hadith cannot apply when there is no caliphate. So Allah says in the Quran, fear Allah
as much as you can, we're supposed to do as much as we can, when there is no authority to give the
oath of allegiance to I don't just take my brother, father, my uncle, my wife, and just I'll give
		

			the oath of allegiance to you, it doesn't work that way. When there is no authority, and there is no
Khilafah, then this hadith simply is not applicable until that system comes back. And there is
nobody that will die the death of God in our times in sha Allah just because they don't have the
oath of allegiance, one needs to understand the context of the Hadith and the context of our times
as well as for our brothers question about the Khilafah being and Quraysh. Once again, we have
theory versus reality. In theory, lots of lemma said it should be amongst the Quraysh. And this is
some scholars even said there's a demonic Imam and no we and my what are the but as usual, as usual
		

			claims of Enigma are hardly ever substantiated. And one finds many famous scholars, great Hanafi
scholars, Imam, and how Amina Giovanni, the great chapter, the teacher, remember because it in some
of his books, he's very skeptical of this notion of it being from the kurush. Even Khaldoon very
famously analyzed these traditions. And he says these are Hadith applied, applied in the past, when
Quraysh was the dominant tribe and the respected tribe. And therefore, when the Arabs were still a
tribal system, and Quraysh was considered to be the dominant tribe, it made sense for the
profitsystem, to say that he never has to be amongst the population. And this is proven by
		

			Obamacare. So they're telling the unsought that, hey, guys, you can't be the leaders. Now, the Arabs
will not accept anyone, except if his quota sheet. And this is just status quo. It's not saying that
the whorish are better in the eyes of Allah, it is a status quo for stability. Let me give a simple
example. You know, in countries in the world in which let's say 90%, or have one background, their
ancestors have been there for many generations and five 10% are from another background, they've
come foreigners, one or two generations ago, the president, the prime minister, generally speaking,
if he's going to be from this minority, you know, it's just going to cause issues and Islam has
		

			comfort, stability. So you know, and we see this here, and in all lands where the dominant majority,
once somebody that represents them, that is the reality of human society. It doesn't it's not ideal,
it is what it is. So the Quraysh were the respected tribe, and they were the one tribe that
everybody knew to be the custodians of the Haram etc, etc. So the Prophet system codified it even
called dune says, now that the Croatia no longer that level, and tribalism is pretty much gone. He
wrote this 700 years ago, it been called Don't says, These are Hadith no longer apply. And this is
the historical reality, only for a very short period of time, less than 150 years. Really, what you
		

			can say, with the Khalifa really was Karachi. You're going to say hold on a sec, that buses ruled
for, you know, a 500 years and the responses are actually more than that 600 years. The response is
that buses only ruled for a short period of time after that period.
		

			It was a mini dynasties there. Basset Khalifa was a titular figurehead, like the, you know, Prime
Minister, like the Queen of England excuse me, it's the prime minister in charge, the Queen has
absolutely no authority for the bulk of our history. The Khalifa did not have actual power, the bulk
of our history, especially at their buses, the Khalifa did not have really any power and that's why
they were coups taking place, many dynasties taking place in reality, there were always powerful
dynasties in regions completely disconnected for all practical purposes from the Khalifa the salmon
is the mum loose the husband of is the movers, whoever it might be, and then eventually the Ottomans
		

			came along, they're not pushy. So what are you going to do for 500 years the Ottomans ruled and they
were not oroshi So the point being, that yes, there are such traditions. And perhaps one can say
that if circumstances are ideal, then perhaps it's best to do this. But in any case, these are
Hadith
		

			the what are we going to do about them in our times when there is no Khalifa So bottom line, these
are very interesting Hadith to study to be aware of to know, but understand that even historically,
they have been interpreted in different ways. And as for modern times, Yanni fear Allah as much as
you can do the best that you can. And I personally I am
		

			happy with all of these mainstream movements. I believe that people are created differently and some
people are more interested in politics than others. So those that are interested in politics and you
want to go into these mainstream Sunni movements, inshallah there's good in them, and those that are
more interested in spirituality and whatnot, and you're going to these other types of moments
inshallah there's good in them as well. Just one caveat. Don't take other mainstream movements as
your enemies. That's my one caveat. Don't consider the other movements to be your problem. This is a
problem. If concentrate on your own problems and don't make your problem other Muslims or else that
		

			will become a problem, right? Your problems and my problems we can begin with ourselves. Let's
concentrate ourselves, let's do what we can some movements prioritize politics and what not other
movements prioritize spirituality and whatnot, and feel cool in here as long as we're doing what
we're supposed to do. Worshiping ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada, coming close to him, trying to live better
lives for ourselves and our families and friends in sha Allah, there's all good but try to avoid
small fringe movements, cultish, * personalities, this is definitely wrong. There's only one
personality and that is our Prophet sallallahu it said that has unconditioned loyalty everybody
		

			else, stick to a large trend and group and that will be beneficial for you. May Allah subhanaw taala
protect us all in this world and next Inshallah, until next week is going to look at Santa Monica
Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.
