00:00:55 --> 00:01:01
			Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:07
			alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen, wal aqibatil mutaqeen, wassalatu wassalamu
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			ala rasoolil kareem, wa ala aalihi wa sahbihi
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			ajma'een, amma ba'd.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			As usual can I request the brothers who
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			are sitting at the back, please move forward
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			if you are staying for the class and
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			for those who are not staying, if you
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			can please request them to leave silently.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			Jazakumullahu khair.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			Can you shut that door please?
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			Jazakumullahu khair.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			Tayyeb, what's the topic today?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:11
			Aqeeda.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Aqeeda is a very broad topic, we can't
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			cover a whole aqeeda in one hour.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			Those of you who are on the Al
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			-Bina group, you should know the topic.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			Has it not been posted?
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Yes.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:40
			Reliance on Allah and understanding the asbab, the
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			means and the measures.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			So reliance on Allah is what?
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			What do we call reliance on Allah in
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			Arabic?
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			Tawakkul, not tawakkal.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:58
			Tawakkul.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			The noun is tawakkul.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:11
			Tawakkul, reliance on Allah or trusting Allah Subhanahu
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			Wa Ta'ala is an act of worship,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			it is an act of worship.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			And if you remember when we covered the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:30
			definition of worship and ibadah, there was a
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:35
			part that we mentioned that the worship includes
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			the actions of the body as well as
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			the actions of heart.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			And this is an action of the heart.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			Tawakkul is an action of the heart.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			You can say it is a type of
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			worship, type of worship that is to do
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			with the heart.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			You do this worship of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			Ta'ala through your heart.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:10
			And in order to define the tawakkul from
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:16
			Islamic or Shari'ah perspective, you should define
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			it as relying on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:27
			'ala for the purpose of seeking benefit or
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:34
			warding off any harm related to the matters
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			of this dunya or the matters of the
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:46
			hereafter, while utilising the means and taking the
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			measures.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			This is kind of comprehensive definition of tawakkul.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			Let me repeat it.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Relying on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05
			Yes, relying on Allah Dhul Jalali Wal Ikram
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:11
			for the purpose of seeking benefit or warding
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			off any harm related to the matters of
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			this dunya or the matters of the hereafter,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:27
			while utilising the means or taking the measures.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			This is the true definition or complete or
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			comprehensive definition of tawakkul.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			And if you understand this definition, then it
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:49
			can clarify many misconceptions or misunderstanding of the
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			meaning of tawakkul.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			First and foremost, tawakkul is to rely on
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			Relying on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:05
			the purpose of benefit and warding off harm
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:05
			as well.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			Both.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			You rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:16
			when you need something beneficial to you or
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			you rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:25
			when you are in need of protection, when
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			you would like to be protected from anything
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			harmful to you.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			It can be physical harm, can be mental
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			harm, spiritual harm, any kind of harm.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			So in order to protect yourself from any
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			kind of harm, you need to rely on
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			Whether it is related to the matters of
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			this dunya or the matter of the of
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:57
			the next life or matters of the akhira,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			such as standing before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			'ala on the day of judgment.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			You need to seek the means and you
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			need to rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			'ala while utilizing the means that can help
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			you to stand before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			'ala on the day of judgment.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			They're related to the matter of this dunya
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			or the matters of the next life.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:30
			And while utilizing the means as well, which
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:37
			also makes it clear that not utilizing the
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			means or not taking the measures is something
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			that is contrary to tawakkul.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:51
			And tawakkul includes taking the measures and utilizing
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			the means.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:58
			Or in other words, utilizing the means is
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			something that is not against tawakkul, rather it
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			is an essential part of tawakkul.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			Or you can say that tawakkul is not
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:16
			complete or it is not perfect or you
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			do not have correct understanding of tawakkul if
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			you do not seek the means.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			And taking the means or utilizing the means
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			or taking the measures, it is part of
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:32
			tawakkul.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			A man came to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			Wasallam and he said oh messenger of Allah,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:47
			I have a camel, shall I tie the
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			leg of the camel and then put tawakkul
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala or should
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			I leave it and have my tawakkul in
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			Allah, that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			protect my camel.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, first you
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			have to tie the camel, you have to
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			tie the camel, you have to utilize that
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			mean, you have to utilize that means and
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			then after that you put tawakkul in Allah
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:25
			So whatever is within your capacity, your capability
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			and ability, you do it.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:33
			But you do not rely on your capability,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:38
			you do not rely on your capacity, rather
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			you truly rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:42
			'ala.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:48
			Allah says in the Quran concerning Sayyiduna Yaqub
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:54
			Alaihi Salatu Wasalam, when he saw off his
		
00:09:54 --> 00:10:02
			sons and they traveled to Egypt and Yusuf
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			Alaihi Salatu Wasalam was the king of Egypt
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:10
			that time, Yaqub Alaihi Salatu Wasalam said to
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:21
			his sons, O
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:26
			my dear children and my dear sons, all
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:30
			of you together, all eleven, do not enter
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			from one single door at once.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			Rather when you go and visit the king,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:44
			make sure all of you, you enter from
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:51
			different doors and then he said This is
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:56
			just my suggestion and advice for you to
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			protect yourself from an evil eye.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			I cannot bring any benefit to you.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			The judgment and the commandment is only for
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			It comes from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:24
			and then he says I have put my
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:31
			trust in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			unto him those who rely, they rely unto
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			him only.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala also said in
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:52
			the following ayah This was
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			something in the heart of Yaqub Alaihi Salatu
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			Wasalam and he expressed to his his sons.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:03
			So he advised them to take that means
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:07
			in order to protect them from an evil
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:07
			eye.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			At the same time he said whatever Allah
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			has decreed, whatever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			decides, it will definitely happen.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			But I put my tawakkul in Allah Subhanahu
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			Wa Ta'ala, I have tawakkul on Allah
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			and I rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			'ala and you should also put your trust
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			in Allah Dhul Jalalul Ikram.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:41
			Tawakkul fluctuates amongst the individuals based
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			on the level of their Iman.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:49
			Because the tawakkul is the outcome or inevitable
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			outcome you should say or the result of
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			Iman.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:59
			Sayyiduna Musa Alaihi Salatu Wasalam said to his
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:07
			people, Ya Qawm, In kuntum aamantum billah, O
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			my people if you truly believe in Allah,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:15
			then you should rely on Allah.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			You should put your trust in Allah Subhanahu
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			You should have tawakkul on Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:21
			Ta'ala.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			If you are truly believers, if you are
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			sincere and true believers, then you should be
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			having your tawakkul on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			'ala.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			So Musa Alaihi Salatu Wasalam connected the tawakkul
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			to Iman and it is a reality, it
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			is a fact.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:45
			The higher and stronger your Iman is, the
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			higher your tawakkul and trust on Allah Subhanahu
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			Wa Ta'ala would be.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was returning from
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:00
			one of his expeditions and he lied down
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			under a tree.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:09
			A person, an individual from the enemies, he
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			came and he saw that the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			Alaihi Wasallam was lying down under the tree
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			and he had hung his sword on the
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			tree.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			This person came, he took the sword and
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			he said, O Muhammad, who is going to
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			save you from me now?
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			Look at the level of tawakkul, level of
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			tawakkul based on the strength of his Iman.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			He said Allah.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			As soon as he said Allah, the sword
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			dropped from his hand.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			This is the power of tawakkul and the
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			power of Iman.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			He said even there is no any means
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			of protection for him.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			He is him and there is no one
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			to protect him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam at that
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:56
			point.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			And the person is holding his sword and
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			he's about to kill him.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			He said who can protect you, who can
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			save you from me?
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:08
			He said Allah and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			'ala helped him.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			You are a true believer, then have tawakkul
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			And then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam took
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			the sword and he said who is going
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			to save you from me now?
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			Obviously he didn't have Iman.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			He started praising the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			and begging him to let him go.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			Okay, so that is the level of tawakkul.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:43
			Sayyiduna Musa Alayhi Salatu Wasalam, he's going away
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:48
			with his people and behind them is the
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			army of Fir'aun.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			And all of a sudden they find that
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			they see in front of them and the
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:02
			people who had weak Iman, they said as
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:10
			Allah says in Surah Al-Shu'ara The
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			people and the companion of Musa Alayhi Salatu
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			Wasalam, they said we are caught now.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:20
			Behind his army, in front to see, we
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:20
			are caught.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			Look at the level of tawakkul.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			He said No, no, no.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			My Lord is with me and he's going
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			to make a way for us.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			And look at the power of his tawakkul
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			and Iman and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			separate the water and they went through.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			That is the level of tawakkul.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:53
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam said If
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:58
			you people were to rely on Allah Subhanahu
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			Wa Ta'ala, the way he Subhanahu Wa
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:08
			Ta'ala deserves to be relied on He
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			can provide you the rizq and he can
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			provide for you the way he provides for
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			the birds.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			They go out in the morning empty stomach
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			and they return to their nest in the
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			evening full stomach.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			That is the level of tawakkul that a
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:37
			believer should have but it doesn't mean that
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			you do not take the means or you
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:43
			don't use the means even in this particular
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:48
			hadith Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam has indicated the
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			means as well.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			He did not say that Allah provides the
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:55
			birds while the birds are sitting within their
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:01
			nests rather he said they go out they
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			go out in the morning.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			For what?
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			In order to seek their provision but they
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			don't know where their provision is going to
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:09
			be.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:13
			They go out having tawakkul in Allah Subhanahu
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:13
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			Though they know that Allah is the provider.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			He's the true provider but whatever is within
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			their capacity they fly.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			This is something that is within their capacity.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			This is this you know that's all they
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			can do but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			returns them in the evening full stomach.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			So when you utilize your means the hadith
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:40
			also indicates when you use the means you
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			do not rely on the means.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			Your reliance must stay in Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			Ta'ala.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			You use the means because Allah has ordered
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			you to take the means.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			His Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam has ordered you
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			to take the means.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			So when it comes to the means, the
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			means are of various types but before we
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			go into the details of the various types
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			of means I would like to share with
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			you some ayat of the Quran.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			Subhanallah if you were to open the Quran
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17
			you can find almost in every single juz
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			and sometime you know page after page you
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			see the the word tawakkul is mentioned.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			Tawakkul, tawakkul again and again.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:36
			Quran only on Allah the believers should trust
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			or they should rely.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			In the second ayah of Surah Al-Anfal
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:49
			Allah says the true believers are that whenever
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is mentioned before
		
00:19:52 --> 00:20:02
			them their hearts start trembling and whenever the
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			verses of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala are
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			recited unto them and they listen the Quran,
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			they hear the Quran, they listen to the
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			recitation of the Quran the verses of the
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			Quran increase them in their Iman and then
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:25
			Allah says and one of the outstanding characteristics
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:31
			is that only on their Lord they put
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			their tawakkul and their trust and they rely
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:37
			only on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Allah
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			also says in the Quran Surah An-Nahl
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:46
			فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:50
			whenever you are about to begin the recitation
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			of the Quran فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			you should seek Allah's refuge from the outcast
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:02
			shaitan by saying in the following ayah Allah
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:08
			says إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ although shaitan cannot have any
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			power on those who believe in Allah and
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:19
			those who truly put their trust in Allah
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala those who rely on
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:25
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala shaitan cannot overtake
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:29
			them but you should still say أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:32
			مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ meaning you should put your
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			tawakkul in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala by
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			using this means what does that mean?
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:42
			أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ and this again
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:47
			is an indication that using the means is
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			part of tawakkul it is part of tawakkul
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			you can't say that since I'm a believer
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			I believe in Allah I believe in the
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			prophets of Allah I believe in the Quran
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			this and that so I'm saved I'm protected
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			and shaitan is not going to harm me
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			because Allah says in the Quran that the
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			believers are saved from the attacks of shaitan
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			no, you have to take the means you
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			have to take the measures and you have
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			to utilize the means and one of those
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:16
			means is you say أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			الرَّجِيمِ when you begin the recitation of the
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			Quran Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala also says
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:26
			فَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا whatever
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			you have been given in this dunya it
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32
			is a worldly benefit of this temporary life
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:37
			وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ and whatever is
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is far
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			better than what you have in this dunya
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:47
			وَأَبْقَىٰ and it is everlasting وَلِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا it
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			is for those who believe in Allah وَعَلَىٰ
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:54
			رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ and those who rely on Allah
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Allah also says in
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			Surah At-Talaq وَمَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَىٰ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05
			حَسْبُ actually they say the next part of
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			the ayah the previous ayah says وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:13
			اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْسُ لَا
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:17
			يَحْتَسِمُ whoever fears Allah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			'ala provides a way out for him whoever
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			has the taqwa of Allah and whoever is
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			mindful of Allah and conscious of Allah Allah
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala makes a way out
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:35
			for him from every difficult situation وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			حَيْسُ لَا يَحْتَسِمُ and Allah provides him from
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:42
			where he never thought of and then وَمَنْ
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:47
			يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَىٰ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُ whoever relies on
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			Allah Allah is sufficient for him that is
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			why Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has advised us
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:59
			to remind ourselves of having tawakkul in Allah
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala every morning and every
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:08
			evening by reading the following dhikr of Allah
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala seven times in the
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			morning and seven times in the evening and
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:17
			if you were to read it by understanding
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:21
			the meaning what you are uttering and what
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			you are declaring it will increase your iman
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			and you will feel that you are under
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			the divine protection of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:36
			'ala every morning and evening what is that
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			dhikr?
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:42
			حَسْبِيَ اللَّهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:47
			وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			إِلَا هُوَ Allah is sufficient for me the
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			one there is none worthy of worship except
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			him Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ only
		
00:24:56 --> 00:25:00
			unto him I rely only on him I
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			rely وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ and he is
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			the lord of the great throne the Prophet
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to say this because
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			this is what Allah taught his Nabi Sallallahu
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:19
			Alaihi Wasallam this is such a precious gift
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that Allah
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			Dhul Jalal Ikram gave to his Nabi Sallallahu
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			Alaihi Wasallam and Allah said to his Nabi
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to say and to utter
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			this statement and to say this and then
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he shared that
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:43
			beautiful precious gift with his Ummah as well
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			in the very last Ayah of Surah Tawbah
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:52
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:57
			فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهِ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:01
			تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ if all these
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			people turn away and they leave you alone
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			and no one stands by you or Muhammad
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam you still say حَسْبِيَ اللَّهِ
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			Allah is sufficient for me Allah is sufficient
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			for me عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْ because my tawakkul and
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			my trust in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:23
			only and this is what all the previous
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			Prophets and Messengers said as Allah says in
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:31
			the Quran in Surah Ibrahim وَمَا لَنَا أَلَّا
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:35
			نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَانَا سُبُولَنَا وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلَى
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:39
			مَا آذَيْتُمُونَ why can we not have tawakkul
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			on our Lord Dhul Jalal Ikram whereas He
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			is the one who has guided us towards
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:49
			our path the path of guidance وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلَى
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			مَا آذَيْتُمُونَ and we will continue having patience
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:56
			on whatever harm you cause to us وَعَلَى
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:00
			اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ because only on Allah Subhanahu
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:04
			Wa Ta'ala rely the believers and there
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:07
			are so many ayat in the Quran about
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:11
			tawakkul, tawakkul again and again because tawakkul is
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			an essential part of Iman as I said,
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:18
			tawakkul is direct impact or the result or
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:24
			the outcome or inevitable outcome of Iman and
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:28
			you cannot separate the two it is impossible
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			for a person to say I'm a believer
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			but when it comes to his tawakkul he
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			does not rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			'ala and it is impossible that a person
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			says a person says that I put my
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46
			trust in Allah complete trust in Allah yet
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			he does not believe in Allah impossible tawakkul
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:56
			requires Iman Iman requires tawakkul tawakkul is the
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:00
			outcome of Iman and Iman or the increase
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			increase in the Iman is the outcome of
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:08
			tawakkul your Iman helps you to have tawakkul
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			and the more you put tawakkul on Allah
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:14
			it increases your Iman so both help each
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:19
			other stronger Iman helps you to have stronger
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			tawakkul and stronger tawakkul helps you to increase
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			your Iman in Allah Dhul Jalal Al Ikram
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:28
			that is why it is essential for a
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			believer to rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:36
			'ala while utilizing the means okay what do
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			you mean by this utilizing the means means
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:43
			are of various types some of the means
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			or the first type of means you can
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			say are the means that are compulsory mandatory
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:55
			you have to take those means have no
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			choice but to utilize those means and add
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:02
			within this category the means that are recommended
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:11
			highly recommended for example you want to please
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:15
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because you believe
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			that Allah is my creator he is the
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			one who blessed me with so many of
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23
			his favors and bounties so I want to
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			please Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala how do
		
00:29:26 --> 00:30:00
			you do this yes if
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			you have tawakkul in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			'ala you have to utilize that means Allah
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:08
			has ordered you in the Quran O you
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:15
			who believe, seek Allah's assistance through
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:23
			patience and prayer so if you truly need
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			Allah's assistance then you have to offer prayer
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:29
			so that is fard that is fard likewise
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:33
			let me give you another example for a
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:38
			Muslim male for a Muslim man who can
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:43
			hear the adhan according to majority of the
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:47
			fuqaha or the scholar you can say you
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			have to attend the congregation and pray in
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:56
			the masjid can't stay sitting home say I
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			don't have the means you have to utilize
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:01
			the means you have a car you have
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			to start the car you have to drive
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			and come to the masjid using that means
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:11
			in order to fulfill that obligation is also
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:14
			fard using those kind of means in these
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:18
			kind of situations is fard because you cannot
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:22
			fulfill your obligation to Allah without using this
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			kind of means so you have to use
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27
			it so this is the first category of
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:31
			using the means another example of this is
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:37
			you want to have a child what kind
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			of means would you use then?
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:46
			marriage although within the islamic fiqh the ruling
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			of marriage it varies from person to person
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:57
			for the person who fears on himself from
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			falling into haram it is wajib it is
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:04
			compulsory for him to get married as soon
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:08
			as possible other person another person may not
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			have that kind of feeling it is recommended
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:14
			for him and for some it is prohibited
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			if they cannot fulfill the right of their
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:21
			spouse it is impermissible but in order for
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:26
			you to fulfill your desire of having or
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			your wish of having a child you have
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:31
			to use the means and the means is
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			that you get married and then you have
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:37
			relations with your spouse and without that no
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:41
			matter how many times you ask Allah Allah
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:46
			grant me righteous child impossible you can't say
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			that I rely on Allah because Allah says
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			in the Quran He is the one who
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			grant the child so without marriage I really
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			want Allah to help me and give me
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:57
			a child impossible you have to use the
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:00
			means that is part of your tawakkul in
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so this is
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:06
			the first category of the means the means
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:12
			that are compulsory or highly recommended the second
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:18
			types of means is that is permissible and
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			its permissibility is established within the deen of
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we have an
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:30
			evidence of its permissibility or it is something
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:36
			that does not contradict the core teachings of
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:43
			the religion of Islam for example a person
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:47
			is poor and he is suffering from hunger
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:52
			and thirst and he does not have money
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:57
			to buy food for him it is permissible
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:02
			to borrow money from someone or to ask
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:06
			someone to assist him and help him so
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:10
			he approaches someone and his approach to someone
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			is a means of getting his need fulfilled
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:18
			and if he is starving and if he
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:21
			is about to die then it becomes compulsory
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			on him to seek that mean but even
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26
			if he is not dying and he feels
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			very poor he cannot fulfill his basic needs
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:33
			then it is permissible for him to borrow
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:38
			money from someone borrowing money borrowing loan it
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:41
			is one of the means of fulfilling your
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:44
			needs and it is permissible to utilize that
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:48
			means and it is not against Tawakkul it
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51
			is not that the Sharia or the Islam
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:53
			the religion of Islam doesn't say to you
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:56
			that you remain poor and you keep suffering
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			your children keep suffering and you are unable
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:03
			to fulfill your basic very basic needs and
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			you say I have my Tawakkul in Allah
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:09
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala no you can seek
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			other's assistance and help you can borrow money
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			you can help someone to give Zakat to
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			you and this is something that is permissible
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:21
			that this falls within permissible means the third
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:28
			category is the type of means that are
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:36
			permissible but disliked permissible but disliked it is
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:40
			better if you don't do it can anyone
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			give me an example what?
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			Ruqiya Ruqiya ok do you agree?
		
00:35:54 --> 00:36:00
			I know yeah the brother said you ask
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:08
			someone to do Ruqiya for you they disliked?
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			huh?
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:16
			yes Jazakallah Khair yes yeah it is true
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:22
			whenever we basically unfortunately our concept of Ruqiya
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:25
			is that you approach a Raqi and you
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:28
			ask him to do Ruqiya whatever you are
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			doing for yourself you don't consider it Ruqiya
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			you know I tried I make Dua I
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:37
			do Zikr I read Suratul Baqarah I read
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			Suratul Falak Suratul Nas Suratul Ikhlas Ayatul Kursi
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			last two Ayat of Suratul Baqarah I did
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			all of them you don't consider it Ruqiya
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48
			you think that Ruqiya is something that is
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:54
			done by a professional someone who robs you
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:58
			someone who charges you the more he charges
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			you think the better his Ruqiya is the
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:05
			more powerful someone charges only 20.99 I
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:08
			don't think he is a professional enough someone
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			says I am going to charge you 150
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			for one session 60 minutes session I am
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:14
			going to charge you oh it must be
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			someone very strong someone who has a friendship
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:23
			with Jinn unfortunately although it is permissible to
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:26
			request someone to do Ruqiya on you it
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			is permissible but it is not recommended rather
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			disliked disliked why?
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:37
			what is the evidence of it being disliked?
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:48
			yes Jazakallah Khair the Hadith in which the
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:51
			Prophet S.A.W. said يدخل من أمتي
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:55
			سبعون ألفا بغير حساب ولا عذب seventy thousand
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:58
			people from my Ummah will enter into Jannah
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01
			without reckoning without any punishment Allah will not
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:05
			even question them and seventy thousand they will
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			enter into Jannah and then the Prophet S
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:11
			.A.W. mentioned their qualities and their characteristics
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:15
			and amongst them is لا يسترقون they do
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:17
			not ask people to do Ruqiya on them
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:22
			وعلى ربهم يتوكلون rather they توقن الله سبحانه
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:26
			وتعالى so Hadith doesn't say that they do
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:30
			not do Ruqiya on themselves rather Hadith says
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			they do not ask others to do Ruqiya
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:32
			why?
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:37
			because it is seen it is considered as
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40
			a sign of weakness of your Iman the
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:44
			weakness of your توقن الله سبحانه وتعالى rather
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			than putting توقن الله when you recite the
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			Quran when you recite all those Adhkar and
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			make Dua to Allah S.W.T you
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:54
			think that Allah doesn't answer your Dua Allah
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:58
			doesn't accept those Adhkar from you rather Allah
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			is going to accept from someone else and
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:03
			He has closer connection to Allah S.W
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:07
			.T so you end up weakening your Iman
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11
			and having weak توقن الله سبحانه وتعالى it
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:14
			weakens your Iman and weakens your توقن الله
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:17
			سبحانه وتعالى that is why using this kind
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:24
			of means is disliked better to avoid that
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:28
			is why we always advise those who suffer
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:33
			from black magic evil eye or jinn possession
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:36
			or whatever problem you have rather than looking
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:39
			for a Raqi you do Ruqya on yourself
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:43
			and you shouldn't be giving an excuse that
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			I don't know how to recite the Quran
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:49
			سبحان الله this is a reality and it
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			happens so many times when you advise someone
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:54
			please do Ruqya yourself say no I don't
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:59
			know any Quran then the solution again the
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			easy solution or quick fix is pay someone
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:04
			and he can do the job for you
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:08
			no it doesn't work like that if you
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			never learn how to read the Quran you
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:13
			should learn you start learning if you are
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:16
			afflicted by a magic or jinn possession or
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:19
			evil eye whatever and you want to do
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			Ruqya on yourself and you don't know the
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			Quran the solution is that you start learning
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:26
			if you are sincere start learning Allah will
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:27
			assist you Allah will help you and while
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:30
			you are learning whatever you learn you read
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:34
			it the entire Quran is Shifa وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37
			الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ recite the
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			Quran and obviously you have to begin with
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:43
			what with Suratul Fatiha as a Muslim as
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:46
			a believer you are required to recite Suratul
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			Fatiha in every single Raqi of your Salah
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			anyway so this is the very first thing
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			from the Quran you should be learning and
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			when you learn and memorize Suratul Fatiha that
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			is sufficient even if you do not know
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:00
			any other Surah I am not saying that
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			you shouldn't you should try to memorize as
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			much as you can but if you know
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:08
			Suratul Fatiha all you need is تَوَكَّلْ إِنَّ
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:11
			اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى this is the Kalam of
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala it has a
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:15
			power in fact one of the names of
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:19
			Suratul Fatiha is Suratul Shifa Surah of Shifa
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:22
			so you put تَوَكَّلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ and keep
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:26
			reading reading a person may say I I've
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:29
			been reading Suratul Fatiha you know so many
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			times this many times in the morning in
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:33
			the evening it doesn't really work so what's
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			the solution again the solution is not go
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:38
			and find out a Raqi rather the solution
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41
			is that you increase if one paracetamol doesn't
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			work you don't say that I'm gonna straight
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:47
			away jump into another kind of medicine stronger
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:51
			no you increase the dose instead of taking
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:54
			one you take two instead of having gap
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			of six hours you may reduce the gap
		
00:41:56 --> 00:42:00
			and you take every four hours but when
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:01
			it comes to Raqi we say no I've
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:04
			tried it didn't work it didn't work means
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:07
			you give up no you increase you do
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:11
			more and more and more likewise Dua you
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:15
			increase your Dua you've been remaking Dua for
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			five minutes increase it up to fifty minutes
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			fifty minutes general work make Dua for two
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:24
			hours increase this is all to do you
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			with your Iman and Tawakkul in Allah Subhanahu
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:29
			Wa Ta'ala so anyway so this is
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			the third category of the means that are
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:37
			disliked permissible but disliked and the third fourth
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:40
			one is the category of the means that
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			are impermissible or prohibited Haram you can say
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:49
			the means that are Haram what is the
		
00:42:49 --> 00:43:02
			example of that from Jinns okay okay
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:12
			yeah yes but
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:14
			they're actually going to fall in another category
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:20
			we are talking about the the the means
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:25
			that are effective but not permissible let's put
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:31
			it this way huh stealing yeah clear example
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:35
			okay stealing okay is a means of fulfilling
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:41
			your needs but it's impermissible effective yeah never
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:46
			try but yes yeah but it is impermissible
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:50
			likewise you have enough you have enough whatever
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:53
			you earn is enough but you still have
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:57
			a bad habit of begging asking people the
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says whoever goes out
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:05
			and asks people for more and more whoever
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:08
			asks people in order to accumulate more and
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:12
			more money and wealth he will come on
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:13
			the day of judgment and he will have
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:16
			no flesh on his face on the day
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:20
			only bones how ugly he is going to
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:23
			look as standing before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:27
			'ala he asked people not for fulfilling his
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:32
			basic needs he had enough food maybe not
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			that luxury but he had enough to fill
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:37
			his stomach he had enough to cover his
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:42
			body had enough clothes but he had a
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:46
			bad habit of begging people that is impermissible
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:50
			effective way you can ask those who are
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:54
			on the street day and night begging unfortunately
		
00:44:54 --> 00:45:06
			but it is impermissible taking a mortgage yes
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:11
			you can fall in this it does it
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:15
			does you have a means you earn enough
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:21
			to rent a house but you know in
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:24
			your mind you want to have a long
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:27
			-term vision for your family your children so
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:31
			put yourself into trouble for the next 25
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:37
			years go ahead and then what take a
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:41
			mortgage okay and you end up paying you
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:46
			know interest for the next 25 years the
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:49
			reason for that is that I want to
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:52
			save the future of my children yes as
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:54
			a father you should save the future of
		
00:45:54 --> 00:46:02
			your children within permissible means not taking something
		
00:46:02 --> 00:48:36
			not taking
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:39
			so you go to someone and he writes
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:44
			even ayat of the Quran okay he writes
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:46
			an ayat of the Quran on a small
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:49
			slip of paper piece of paper and then
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:53
			you fold it and put it in your
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:59
			neck okay is it shirk no not really
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:03
			Quran okay he has hung Quran in his
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:06
			neck you can't call it shirk Quran is
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:09
			not shirk a person has written the dua
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:13
			hasbi allahu la ilaha illahu alayhi tawakkal from
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:16
			protection of shaitan do you call it shirk
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:22
			no permissible is it permissible no it's not
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:28
			permissible because there's no evidence yes the same
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:30
			kind of ta'weez or amulet can be
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:35
			haram if the writing is haram and unfortunately
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:39
			people do they write on the corner they
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:44
			make a box Jibreel Mikael Israel Israfil in
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:48
			between someone else and then Ali Fatima Hassan
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:53
			Hussain Abdul Qadir Jilani all of that no
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:57
			doubt it is shirk okay so as if
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59
			it doesn't go to the level of shirk
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:04
			then it is disliked okay so that is
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:10
			another type of illusory you know means okay
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:16
			and within this falls you know other you
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:20
			know other category and anything that is not
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22
			permissible within the religion of Allah Subhanahu wa
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:25
			ta'ala and it has no evidence it
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:29
			has no evidence and last one within this
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:33
			category is illusionary and it is also impermissible
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:37
			it is prohibited it has no effect no
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:40
			evidence that it is effective but it is
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:50
			also prohibited what's the example of that taking
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:56
			bad omen okay sooth saying yeah people think
		
00:50:56 --> 00:51:00
			that it may be beneficial okay any evidence
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:05
			no is it prohibited or not it is
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:10
			prohibited haram okay so these are the how
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:17
			many categories have you said six five okay
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:20
			within the fifth one we divided further within
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:23
			the fifth one we said three okay within
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:26
			the illusionary one we said three first one
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:29
			is that is shirk the second one which
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:33
			is not shirk but it is you know
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:37
			it is something that has no evidence and
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:40
			the third one that is prohibited we can't
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:42
			call it shirk but it's prohibited you know
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:45
			sorry it can be shirk and within that
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:48
			falls those things that are not even shirk
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:52
			but it's prohibited for example for example you
		
00:51:52 --> 00:55:03
			know taking an oath oh sorry so
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:09
			mainly there are five categories of the means
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:14
			the category that is a wajib or recommended
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:18
			the second one is that is called permissible
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:22
			the third one is disliked the fourth one
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:25
			is impermissible and the fifth the haram and
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:29
			the fifth one is illusionary and within illusionary
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:31
			we have those that fall within the category
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:33
			of shirk the other one that do not
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:35
			fall into the category of shirk but is
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:39
			impermissible and the third one is that is
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:42
			not it is not shirk but it is
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:46
			prohibited such as the nazar okay we ask
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:48
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give us
		
00:55:48 --> 00:55:51
			ability to have trust on Him Subhanahu Wa
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			Ta'ala and before we conclude does anyone
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:56
			have any question with regards to what we
		
00:55:56 --> 00:56:07
			covered today any question yes here I have
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:10
			a question okay when people go to Peer
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:12
			Sahib what category does it fall in it
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:18
			depends on their iman on their belief okay
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:22
			if they go to a peer or saint
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:28
			or someone pious in their understanding believing that
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:30
			they are closer to Allah and they can
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:33
			intercede on your behalf okay and they can
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:39
			benefit you okay then it is impermissible this
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:43
			impermissible way okay as long as it stays
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:46
			there impermissible it is not permissible it doesn't
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:50
			fall within shirk it becomes shirk when you
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:54
			go to them believing that Allah has given
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:59
			them a special kind of authority and people
		
00:56:59 --> 00:57:01
			do have those kind of beliefs now Allah
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:04
			has given a person a special authority to
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:08
			cure the sick and to increase the provision
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:13
			give a child or no word of any
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:15
			harm or any kind of thing if you
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:18
			think that Allah has given them authority then
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20
			you go to them with this intention that
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:23
			it is shirk no doubt okay but if
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:26
			you do not believe that rather you go
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:28
			to them because you think that they are
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:30
			so pious and righteous and they are closer
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:36
			to Allah that with that it can potentially
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:40
			lead to shirk okay and it can weaken
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:43
			your iman although it is permissible to ask
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:49
			someone to make dua for you okay can
		
00:57:54 --> 00:57:58
			you do ruqya to help get rid of
		
00:57:58 --> 00:58:02
			disease of the heart yes ruqya for anything
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:06
			ruqya if you have a physical illness you
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:09
			do ruqya if you have any illness of
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:13
			the heart ruqya yes ruqya is what ruqya
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:17
			simply means to recite the Quran or the
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:23
			dua the recommended dua that Rasulullah used to
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:25
			read or he recommended so you do in
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:27
			order for example if you think that your
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:31
			heart is hard has become hardened and you
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:34
			make dua to Allah make dua dua can
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:36
			be one of the ways of doing ruqya
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:46
			oh Allah keep repeating the dua Allah read
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:49
			the dua any dua related to the heart
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:51
			you do it and it will be class
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:58
			as ruqya what is another another is vow
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:03
			basically when you promise it is in Arabic
		
00:59:03 --> 00:59:07
			is written with noon dhal not za noon
		
00:59:07 --> 00:59:10
			dhal and ra another you make promise to
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:15
			Allah a conditional promise basically can you repeat
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:17
			the third thing for the illusory means illusory
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:22
			I think I have already repeated okay illusory
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:30
			means basically that you think in your mind
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:35
			that using this means is beneficial effective but
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:39
			it has no evidence has no evidence you
		
00:59:39 --> 00:59:43
			know that it is effective and it may
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:46
			potentially lead to shirk is it permissible to
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:52
			charge for doing hijama we are not talking
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:56
			about the please you know it is now
		
00:59:56 --> 01:00:00
			open question answer session okay I never said
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:00
			the word
