00:01:31
sahbihi ajma'in, amma ba'd, inshallah today we
00:01:31 -->
00:01:40
are going to cover three topics and hopefully
00:01:40 -->
00:01:43
today's session will be a shorter than the
00:01:43 -->
00:01:47
normal sessions and it is to do with,
00:01:47 -->
00:01:50
it is connected somehow with the previous two
00:01:50 -->
00:01:51
sessions.
00:01:52 -->
00:01:55
If you remember in the last two sessions
00:01:55 -->
00:02:00
we talked about the tawakkul and relying on
00:02:00 -->
00:02:03
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, putting your trust
00:02:03 -->
00:02:06
in Allah Dhul-Jalal ul-Ikram and then
00:02:06 -->
00:02:12
we talked about utilising the means, the prohibited
00:02:12 -->
00:02:19
means, disliked means, permissible means and also the
00:02:19 -->
00:02:23
illusionary means and we also talked about the
00:02:23 -->
00:02:24
compulsory and mandatory means.
00:02:33 -->
00:02:35
Can you please ask the brother sitting at
00:02:35 -->
00:02:37
the back, if you want to have a
00:02:37 -->
00:02:38
chat please go into the lobby area.
00:02:38 -->
00:02:39
JazakAllah khair.
00:02:53 -->
00:02:56
The related to tawakkul was amongst the means
00:02:56 -->
00:03:01
that are permissible we mentioned last week and
00:03:01 -->
00:03:06
we talked about the ruqya, reciting the verses
00:03:06 -->
00:03:11
of the Quran or the prophetic duas and
00:03:11 -->
00:03:18
supplications in order to seek Allah's protection and
00:03:18 -->
00:03:22
in order to seek cure from illnesses and
00:03:22 -->
00:03:29
diseases and also ruqya is also done for
00:03:29 -->
00:03:34
the purpose of protecting oneself from black magic
00:03:34 -->
00:03:37
or jinn possession or evil eye.
00:03:38 -->
00:03:44
It can be protection against any physical illness
00:03:44 -->
00:03:50
and we mentioned what is permissible with regards
00:03:50 -->
00:03:54
to ruqya and what is not permissible and
00:03:54 -->
00:03:56
today we are going to talk about the
00:03:56 -->
00:03:59
superstitions and bad omens.
00:04:00 -->
00:04:06
Superstitions are the beliefs that some people have
00:04:06 -->
00:04:14
concerning some objects, times or places.
00:04:16 -->
00:04:24
People consider some say for example animals to
00:04:24 -->
00:04:28
be bad so whenever they see that kind
00:04:28 -->
00:04:31
of animal they think it is going to
00:04:31 -->
00:04:34
have evil and bad impact on them.
00:04:36 -->
00:04:39
For example someone saw a black cat in
00:04:39 -->
00:04:43
dark they say tonight is not going to
00:04:43 -->
00:04:45
be good night for me because I just
00:04:45 -->
00:04:46
saw a black cat.
00:04:48 -->
00:04:51
If you see a crow making a noise
00:04:51 -->
00:04:55
people think that it is a sign that
00:04:55 -->
00:04:59
we are going to have some guests unexpected
00:04:59 -->
00:05:02
guests and we are not going to be
00:05:02 -->
00:05:02
pleased with them.
00:05:05 -->
00:05:11
People say that if someone sneezes some people
00:05:11 -->
00:05:16
believe that someone has remembered such person that's
00:05:16 -->
00:05:20
why they sneezed and there are so many
00:05:20 -->
00:05:24
of these kind of superstitions unfortunately amongst the
00:05:24 -->
00:05:32
Muslims and especially when these superstitions are connected
00:05:32 -->
00:05:37
to beliefs then they show clear sign of
00:05:37 -->
00:05:40
the weakness of the Iman of the person
00:05:40 -->
00:05:45
and his tawakkul in Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.
00:05:47 -->
00:05:51
Before the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam came the
00:05:51 -->
00:05:55
people of Mecca the mushrikeen the kuffar they
00:05:55 -->
00:05:59
used to have a lot of superstitions and
00:05:59 -->
00:06:03
they used to believe in good and bad
00:06:03 -->
00:06:04
omens.
00:06:05 -->
00:06:10
They used to believe in the flying of
00:06:10 -->
00:06:13
the birds so if the bird in the
00:06:13 -->
00:06:15
morning if the person is about to leave
00:06:15 -->
00:06:22
for work and he sees a bird flying
00:06:22 -->
00:06:26
towards the right he would consider that today
00:06:26 -->
00:06:28
my work is going to be good work
00:06:28 -->
00:06:32
and I'm going to be successful but if
00:06:32 -->
00:06:36
the bird goes towards the left he would
00:06:36 -->
00:06:39
consider today is not going to be good
00:06:39 -->
00:06:39
day for me.
00:06:43 -->
00:06:45
When you are about to leave in the
00:06:45 -->
00:06:50
morning for work if you meet someone who
00:06:50 -->
00:06:53
is close to you someone you love you
00:06:53 -->
00:06:55
consider that today because that is the beginning
00:06:55 -->
00:06:59
of my day so I met someone who
00:06:59 -->
00:07:02
is dear to me so it is a
00:07:02 -->
00:07:05
sign that today I'm going to have you
00:07:05 -->
00:07:09
know the whole day happy day but if
00:07:09 -->
00:07:12
you right in the morning when you leave
00:07:12 -->
00:07:18
your house you by chance meet someone or
00:07:18 -->
00:07:23
see someone who you don't like you make
00:07:23 -->
00:07:25
up your mind that today is not going
00:07:25 -->
00:07:27
to be good day for me because I
00:07:27 -->
00:07:29
met someone who is not good to me
00:07:29 -->
00:07:33
this morning so this is a sign that
00:07:33 -->
00:07:34
the entire day is going to be a
00:07:34 -->
00:07:39
bad day so those mushrikeen those kuffar used
00:07:39 -->
00:07:43
to have those kind of beliefs and Rasulullah
00:07:43 -->
00:07:48
sallallahu alayhi wasallam eradicated all of them and
00:07:48 -->
00:07:51
he negated them and he said la tiyara,
00:07:52 -->
00:07:58
the tiyara or omens or superstitions connected to
00:07:58 -->
00:08:02
the birds or anything else it is something
00:08:02 -->
00:08:06
that has no existence has nothing to do
00:08:06 -->
00:08:08
with the deen of Allah in fact it
00:08:08 -->
00:08:11
is against the iman and it is against
00:08:11 -->
00:08:15
the tawakkul and relying on Allah subhanahu wa'ta
00:08:15 -->
00:08:15
'ala.
00:08:16 -->
00:08:20
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said with regards to
00:08:20 -->
00:08:29
the tiyara or tatayyur, superstition or seeking khair
00:08:29 -->
00:08:33
and good through birds he sallallahu alayhi wasallam
00:08:33 -->
00:08:36
said it does not exist and it has
00:08:36 -->
00:08:39
no impact and it has no benefit and
00:08:39 -->
00:08:41
it has nothing to do with the religion
00:08:41 -->
00:08:43
or with the deen of Allah subhanahu wa'ta
00:08:43 -->
00:08:47
'ala but within the same hadith the Prophet
00:08:47 -->
00:08:55
sallallahu alayhi wasallam said but fa'al admires
00:08:55 -->
00:08:58
me what is al fa'al?
00:08:59 -->
00:09:05
fa'al can be translated as optimism the
00:09:05 -->
00:09:08
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he says I
00:09:08 -->
00:09:11
do not believe and there is no existence
00:09:11 -->
00:09:14
of tiyara or superstition or omens or bad
00:09:14 -->
00:09:18
omens he sallallahu alayhi wasallam said the fa
00:09:18 -->
00:09:21
'al admires me or I like fa'al.
00:09:22 -->
00:09:25
The companions asked O Messenger of Allah, what
00:09:25 -->
00:09:27
do you mean by al fa'al?
00:09:28 -->
00:09:30
Fa, Hamza and Alif fa'al.
00:09:31 -->
00:09:38
He sallallahu alayhi wasallam said good statement good
00:09:38 -->
00:09:41
word what do you mean by this?
00:09:42 -->
00:09:44
What did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam mean
00:09:44 -->
00:09:45
by this?
00:09:46 -->
00:09:48
It is explained in another hadith of the
00:09:48 -->
00:09:53
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam that is collected by
00:09:53 -->
00:09:57
Imam Abi Dawood rahimahullah on the authority of
00:09:57 -->
00:10:02
Abdullah bin Buraidah on the authority of Abdullah
00:10:02 -->
00:10:05
bin Buraidah and he writes from his father
00:10:05 -->
00:10:09
Buraidah radiyallahu ta'ala who says and the
00:10:09 -->
00:10:15
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
00:10:15 -->
00:10:19
wasallam would not seek and he sallallahu alayhi
00:10:19 -->
00:10:24
wasallam never sought omens from anything and then
00:10:24 -->
00:10:31
he said whenever the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
00:10:31 -->
00:10:36
wanted to someone for any particular task he
00:10:36 -->
00:10:44
would ask him about his name if the
00:10:44 -->
00:10:48
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam would be pleased with
00:10:48 -->
00:10:50
the meaning of the name of the person
00:10:50 -->
00:10:57
he would become happy and you could see
00:10:57 -->
00:11:01
the happiness on the blessed face of Rasulullah
00:11:01 -->
00:11:03
sallallahu alayhi wasallam and then he would send
00:11:03 -->
00:11:10
the person for that particular task and if
00:11:10 -->
00:11:13
he didn't like the name of the person
00:11:17 -->
00:11:20
the dislikeness would be observed and would be
00:11:20 -->
00:11:24
seen on the blessed face of Rasulullah sallallahu
00:11:24 -->
00:11:31
alayhi wasallam whenever the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
00:11:31 -->
00:11:35
would enter into any new place any new
00:11:35 -->
00:11:39
city or town or village he alayhi sallallahu
00:11:39 -->
00:11:42
wasallam would ask about the name of that
00:11:42 -->
00:11:50
place if the name was good the Prophet
00:11:50 -->
00:11:53
sallallahu alayhi wasallam would become happy and the
00:11:53 -->
00:11:55
happiness would be observed and seen on his
00:11:55 -->
00:12:03
blessed face and if the name of that
00:12:03 -->
00:12:07
place wouldn't please the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
00:12:07 -->
00:12:11
or he would dislike it the dislikeness would
00:12:11 -->
00:12:13
be seen and observed on the blessed face
00:12:13 -->
00:12:19
of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam another hadith explain
00:12:19 -->
00:12:27
is further that sometime good names of an
00:12:27 -->
00:12:31
object or a person or a place or
00:12:31 -->
00:12:36
anything good that pleases the person it is
00:12:36 -->
00:12:39
something that is permissible and you can have
00:12:39 -->
00:12:43
the optimism or you can say you can

my business because my partner is God-fearing
00:13:31 -->
00:13:35

00:14:21
for you to this extent it is permissible
00:14:21 -->
00:14:26
to believe in these and this is what
00:14:26 -->
00:14:29
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said that is why
00:14:29 -->
00:14:33
he alayhi salatu wasallam has encouraged us to

the most truthful names or the names that
00:15:13 -->
00:15:18

00:15:54
sallallahu alayhi wasallam recommended these names because of
00:15:54 -->
00:15:59
the because of good meaning and on a
00:15:59 -->
00:16:02
number of occasions the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
00:16:02 -->
00:16:07
he changed bad names a lady came to
00:16:07 -->
00:16:11
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and she had
00:16:11 -->
00:16:14
a name that wasn't good the Prophet sallallahu
00:16:14 -->
00:16:18
alayhi wasallam changed it as and said rather
00:16:18 -->
00:16:25
her name was Asiya not Asiya unfortunately amongst
00:16:25 -->
00:16:29
us especially Asian people we don't differentiate between
00:16:29 -->
00:16:32
the pronunciation of Ain and Hamza it's Asiya
00:16:32 -->
00:16:36
Asiya was the name of the wife of

00:16:40
Firaun she was Muslim Allah praised her in
00:16:40 -->
00:16:43

00:16:43 -->
00:16:46
of Jannah and she made dua to Allah
00:16:46 -->
00:16:50
that is good name Asiya with Hamza and
00:16:50 -->
00:16:54
seen Asiya but there's another word that is
00:16:54 -->
00:16:58
pronounced as Asiya with Ain and Saad Asiya
00:16:58 -->
00:17:05
Asiya comes from Asiya which means disobedience Asiya
00:17:05 -->
00:17:08
means disobedient and Arab used to name their
00:17:08 -->
00:17:14
children with these names disobedient and someone who
00:17:14 -->
00:17:18
disobedient they considered as someone of a pride
00:17:18 -->
00:17:22
and arrogance someone who does not accept anyone's
00:17:22 -->
00:17:25
commandment someone who does not obey anyone he's
00:17:25 -->
00:17:29

00:17:32 -->
00:17:34
about her name she said my name is

00:17:43
no no rather you should call yourself Barra
00:17:43 -->
00:17:49
Barra means righteous so these are the good
00:17:49 -->
00:17:52
words that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam allowed
00:17:52 -->
00:17:55
and he said good words and good statements
00:17:55 -->
00:17:58
have good meaning and you can have good
00:17:58 -->
00:18:01
hope in these words these kind of words
00:18:01 -->
00:18:05
there is another hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
00:18:05 -->
00:18:08
alayhi wasallam long hadith and part of the
00:18:08 -->
00:18:12
hadith is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said
00:18:12 -->
00:18:14
when a believer is buried in his grave
00:18:14 -->
00:18:21
and he is successful in answering the questions
00:18:21 -->
00:18:25
of the grave then a caller calls to
00:18:25 -->
00:18:28
him and he says now you are going
00:18:28 -->
00:18:31
to have a rest until the day of
00:18:31 -->
00:18:34
judgment and Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala orders the
00:18:34 -->
00:18:37
angels to open a window or door for
00:18:37 -->
00:18:41
him towards paradise so he gets there the
00:18:41 -->
00:18:48
breeze of Jannah in his grave and in
00:18:48 -->
00:18:50
that hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says
00:18:50 -->
00:18:54
once he's successful and he's in peace of
00:18:54 -->
00:18:58
mind and he knows that he's saved from
00:18:58 -->
00:19:00
the punishment of the grave from the punishment
00:19:00 -->
00:19:06
of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala all of sudden
00:19:06 -->
00:19:09
in his grave appears a person of a
00:19:09 -->
00:19:14
beautiful face and a person who is wearing
00:19:14 -->
00:19:20
a beautiful clothes and a very good and
00:19:20 -->
00:19:24
pleasing fragrance and and smell is coming out
00:19:24 -->
00:19:30
of him and he says and this person
00:19:30 -->
00:19:34
who appears in his grave he says be
00:19:34 -->
00:19:37
happy with something that is going to please
00:19:37 -->
00:19:41
you and as soon as the believer hears
00:19:41 -->
00:19:50
that he says who are you I can
00:19:50 -->
00:19:54
say by looking at your face that you
00:19:54 -->
00:19:58
have brought something good for me the scholar
00:19:58 -->
00:20:01
have said this is also another evidence of
00:20:01 -->
00:20:04
seeking or hoping in something good when you
00:20:04 -->
00:20:08
see something good when you see something pleasing
00:20:08 -->
00:20:12
but that something has to be good in
00:20:12 -->
00:20:16
terms of the obedience to Allah subhanahu wa'ta
00:20:16 -->
00:20:19
'ala not something that you think is good
00:20:19 -->
00:20:21
but actually it is not good for example
00:20:21 -->
00:20:24
you're walking on the street and you look
00:20:24 -->
00:20:29
at non-mahram and you stay on them
00:20:29 -->
00:20:31
and you say I have seen something good
00:20:31 -->
00:20:35
no something that is prohibited you have committed
00:20:35 -->
00:20:40
haram something good that is pleasing in accordance
00:20:40 -->
00:20:43
with the Sunnah and the teachings of Rasulullah
00:20:43 -->
00:20:47
sallallahu alayhi wasallam so if you see something
00:20:47 -->
00:20:50
good or if you hear something good then
00:20:50 -->
00:20:52
you can have good hope and this is
00:20:52 -->
00:20:55
something that is not against your tawakkul in
00:20:55 -->
00:21:00
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
00:21:00 -->
00:21:04
wasallam in order to negate the superstitions and
00:21:04 -->
00:21:12
bad omens he said if there was any
00:21:12 -->
00:21:16
bad omen or bad luck in anything that
00:21:16 -->
00:21:20
it would have been in three things al
00:21:20 -->
00:21:26
-mar'ah, wal-faras, wal-maskan in wife
00:21:26 -->
00:21:30
in the house and in your and and
00:21:30 -->
00:21:36
and also your beast the horse if there
00:21:36 -->
00:21:41
was any bad omen in anything but there
00:21:41 -->
00:21:45
is no bad omen it doesn't exist so
00:21:45 -->
00:21:50
some people believe that you know we have
00:21:50 -->
00:21:53
all these problems in our house because of
00:21:53 -->
00:21:57
that one individual because of that one person
00:21:57 -->
00:22:02
someone got married and after marriage they have
00:22:02 -->
00:22:06
some problems within a joint family and everyone
00:22:06 -->
00:22:12
blames that newly married wife that since she
00:22:12 -->
00:22:15
has come into our house everything is up
00:22:15 -->
00:22:19
and down okay and we have all these
00:22:19 -->
00:22:23
problems this is shu'm this is bad omen
00:22:23 -->
00:22:28
this is something that is not permissible but
00:22:28 -->
00:22:34
it can be possible if say the entire
00:22:34 -->
00:22:38
family entire household is practicing the deen of
00:22:38 -->
00:22:41
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala all of them they
00:22:41 -->
00:22:44
pray they recite the Quran on a daily
00:22:44 -->
00:22:48
basis they do morning and evening adhkar and
00:22:48 -->
00:22:52
amongst them they have one individual who stays
00:22:52 -->
00:22:55
asleep at the time of fajr he doesn't
00:22:55 -->
00:23:00
pray and he commits sins because of his
00:23:00 -->
00:23:03
sins there can be bad impact on the
00:23:03 -->
00:23:07
entire family within the entire house that is
00:23:07 -->
00:23:11
nothing to do with bad omen but this
00:23:11 -->
00:23:15
is a reality it is a reality bad
00:23:15 -->
00:23:18
omen is that you believe in something without
00:23:18 -->
00:23:23
an evidence without an evidence just you have
00:23:23 -->
00:23:26
that myth in your mind or shaitan has
00:23:26 -->
00:23:29
whispered in your mind that this bad thing
00:23:29 -->
00:23:32
has happened because of so-and-so or
00:23:32 -->
00:23:35
because of such and such thing this is
00:23:35 -->
00:23:39
something that is not permissible but what is
00:23:39 -->
00:23:43
permissible is to hope to have the hope
00:23:43 -->
00:23:46
or to have a hope in in something
00:23:46 -->
00:23:51
good by looking at something good by watching
00:23:51 -->
00:23:55
something good by by encountering something good or
00:23:55 -->
00:23:59
by hearing something good it is something that
00:23:59 -->
00:24:03
is permissible and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam allowed
00:24:03 -->
00:24:06
it and he alayhi salatu wasalam accepted it
00:24:06 -->
00:24:14
and finally seeking rain from stars what do
00:24:14 -->
00:24:18
you mean by this seeking rain from stars
00:24:20 -->
00:24:25
this is something that was very common or
00:24:25 -->
00:24:30
commonly believed amongst Arab that whenever it rained
00:24:30 -->
00:24:33
because the rain is not that frequent in
00:24:33 -->
00:24:35
Arabic the way we have here in the
00:24:35 -->
00:24:42
UK okay so whenever they had rain they
00:24:42 -->
00:24:46
would say that we have been given rain
00:24:46 -->
00:24:52
because of such and such star and this
00:24:52 -->
00:24:55
was something that was very very common amongst
00:24:55 -->
00:25:04
Arab even after some people accepted Islam and
00:25:04 -->
00:25:06
they enter into the fold of Islam they
00:25:06 -->
00:25:11
still had that kind of belief so what
00:25:11 -->
00:25:14
happened during the time of Hudaibiyah when the
00:25:14 -->
00:25:18
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam traveled from Medina Munawwara
00:25:18 -->
00:25:20
and he was heading towards Makkah Mukarramah and
00:25:20 -->
00:25:24
he was stopped at Hudaibiyah and he was
00:25:24 -->
00:25:26
prevented by the people of Makkah from entering
00:25:26 -->
00:25:30
to Makkah and way the Hudaibiyah treaty took
00:25:30 -->
00:25:33
place the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam was staying
00:25:33 -->
00:25:39
there overnight and at night it rained and
00:25:40 -->
00:25:44
some of those new Muslims amongst the companions
00:25:44 -->
00:25:48
of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam they said mutirna
00:25:48 -->
00:25:52
binawi katha wa katha it's good that we
00:25:52 -->
00:25:55
have seen this rain because of such and
00:25:55 -->
00:25:58
such star because last night we saw that
00:25:58 -->
00:26:00
star and this star and because of moving
00:26:00 -->
00:26:02
this star that way this direction or that
00:26:02 -->
00:26:05
action so this is why we have rain
00:26:05 -->
00:26:10
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam led Salatul Fajr
00:26:10 -->
00:26:16
and after Salatul Fajr he said Allah subhanahu
00:26:16 -->
00:26:22
wa'ta'ala has said asbaha min ibadi mu'minun
00:26:22 -->
00:26:26
bi wa kafirun bi amongst my slaves some
00:26:26 -->
00:26:29
of them have woken up in the morning
00:26:29 -->
00:26:33
in the state of iman whereas others they
00:26:33 -->
00:26:40
have committed kufr and companion Ridwanullah Najmaeen they
00:26:40 -->
00:26:42
were concerned about you know who amongst of
00:26:42 -->
00:26:46
us has become kafir then the Prophet sallallahu
00:26:46 -->
00:26:50
alayhi wasallam explained he said whoever said mutirna
00:26:50 -->
00:26:55
binawi katha wa katha faqad kafa whoever said
00:26:55 -->
00:26:59
that we have this rain because of such
00:26:59 -->
00:27:03
and such star then he has committed kufr
00:27:03 -->
00:27:07
it's a shirk because you believe that rain
00:27:07 -->
00:27:11
has come because of the star through the
00:27:11 -->
00:27:16
star whereas rain comes from Allah subhanahu wa'ta
00:27:16 -->
00:27:19
'ala and it happens solely and purely by
00:27:19 -->
00:27:22
the permission of Allah as Allah says in
00:27:22 -->
00:27:26
the Quran inna allaha indahu ilmus sa'ah
00:27:26 -->
00:27:29
wa yunazzirul ghaif the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
00:27:29 -->
00:27:32
says there are five things that Allah has
00:27:32 -->
00:27:35
not disclosed the knowledge of these five things
00:27:35 -->
00:27:40
to anyone and amongst them is yunazzirul ghaif
00:27:40 -->
00:27:44
the rain when the rain is going to
00:27:44 -->
00:27:48
come and how much of rain is going
00:27:48 -->
00:27:53
to pour down you may say we always
00:27:53 -->
00:27:58
check the weather forecast and forecast says tomorrow
00:27:58 -->
00:28:01
or tonight this time the rain will start
00:28:01 -->
00:28:05
I can challenge you the time you see
00:28:05 -->
00:28:08
on the forecast if it can be precise
00:28:08 -->
00:28:15
never never ever you can check and you
00:28:15 -->
00:28:19
can verify if the forecast says that there
00:28:19 -->
00:28:21
will be a rain at 8 p.m.
00:28:22 -->
00:28:25
it doesn't mean 8 p.m. on dot
00:28:25 -->
00:28:28
it may the rain may start a few
00:28:28 -->
00:28:32
minutes before or few minutes late or even
00:28:32 -->
00:28:37
it may not rain at all that is
00:28:37 -->
00:28:40
why the weather forecast they always say 50
00:28:40 -->
00:28:44
% 60% is this the case with
00:28:44 -->
00:28:46
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala when Allah sends down
00:28:46 -->
00:28:48
the rain then you say it is going
00:28:48 -->
00:28:50
to be 50% no it is 100
00:28:50 -->
00:28:55
% so to say that rain has come
00:28:55 -->
00:28:59
from the star or because of the star
00:28:59 -->
00:29:01
this is something that is not permissible for
00:29:01 -->
00:29:04
a believer rather rain comes by the permission
00:29:04 -->
00:29:07
of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala I'm not saying
00:29:07 -->
00:29:09
it is not permissible or it is against
00:29:09 -->
00:29:12
your iman to check the weather forecast you
00:29:12 -->
00:29:15
may because forecast says no it is not
00:29:15 -->
00:29:19
different from looking at the clouds so when
00:29:19 -->
00:29:23
you look at clouds you naturally you think
00:29:23 -->
00:29:26
that you know it is cloudy and it
00:29:26 -->
00:29:30
can rain anytime and the forecast is weather
00:29:30 -->
00:29:34
forecast is to basically they utilize they use
00:29:34 -->
00:29:37
their own calculations and their own means and
00:29:37 -->
00:29:41
they tell you a bit more more information
00:29:41 -->
00:29:46
than an only person can have nothing more
00:29:46 -->
00:29:49
than that but actual rain comes from Allah
00:29:49 -->
00:29:53
subhanahu wa'ta'ala no one can send down
00:29:53 -->
00:29:57
the rain without Allah Dhul Jalal Ikram so
00:29:57 -->
00:30:00
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said whoever said
00:30:00 -->
00:30:03
that we have rain because of such and
00:30:03 -->
00:30:06
such star and he has committed kufr or
00:30:06 -->
00:30:14
shirk with Allah rather you should say and
00:30:14 -->
00:30:21
another hadith says we have been rained by
00:30:21 -->
00:30:24
the bounty of Allah by the mercy of
00:30:24 -->
00:30:27
Allah by the provision of Allah subhanahu wa'ta
00:30:27 -->
00:30:29
'ala so attributing it to Allah Dhul Jalal
00:30:29 -->
00:30:33
Ikram rather than attributing it to any particular
00:30:33 -->
00:30:39
star which also gives us a lesson that
00:30:39 -->
00:30:43
to believe in stars in a way that
00:30:43 -->
00:30:46
the stars are to do with your fate
00:30:46 -->
00:30:49
with your Qadr this is something that is
00:30:49 -->
00:30:54
not from the religion of Islam unfortunately many
00:30:54 -->
00:30:58
Muslims they believe in stars like this if
00:30:58 -->
00:31:01
you were born on this particular day and
00:31:01 -->
00:31:04
the star says this then it means you
00:31:04 -->
00:31:07
are going to have few things good or
00:31:07 -->
00:31:09
bad in your life or this and that
00:31:09 -->
00:31:13
because of true stars or by naming the
00:31:13 -->
00:31:16
stars or using the stars or believing in
00:31:16 -->
00:31:19
stars this is something that is not from
00:31:19 -->
00:31:22
the deen of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and
00:31:22 -->
00:31:26
this is something that is prohibited and it
00:31:26 -->
00:31:29
goes against the tawakkul in Allah Dhul Jalal
00:31:30 -->
00:31:34
wa'ala Allahi fal yatawakkalil mu'minoon only on
00:31:34 -->
00:31:38
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala the believers should rely
00:31:38 -->
00:31:40
and they should put their trust in Allah
00:31:40 -->
00:31:44
subhanahu wa'ta'ala only so we stop here
00:31:44 -->
00:31:46
we ask Allah Dhul Jalal Ikram that he
00:31:46 -->
00:31:49
subhanahu wa'ta'ala gives us tawfiq and ability
00:31:49 -->
00:31:53
to strengthen our iman and to increase our
00:31:53 -->
00:31:55
tawakkul in Allah Dhul Jalal Ikram and may
00:31:55 -->
00:31:59
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala keep us away from
00:31:59 -->
00:32:03
any kind of superstition or bad omen or
00:32:03 -->
00:32:06
believing things that have nothing to do with
00:32:06 -->
00:32:08
the deen of Allah Dhul Jalal Ikram or
00:32:08 -->
00:32:11
the things that can weaken our iman and
00:32:11 -->
00:32:14
may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala increase us all
00:32:14 -->
00:32:17
in our iman in our knowledge innahu sami
00:32:17 -->
00:32:21
'un qareeb mujeeb subhanakallahumma wabihamdika ashadu wa la
00:32:21 -->
00:32:23
ilaha illa anta astaghfiruqatu bilayk we have any
00:32:23 -->
00:32:36
questions to be
00:32:36 -->
00:32:40
nicknames nickname that is permissible in Islam is
00:32:40 -->
00:32:49
the kuniya you mean kuniya no okay the
00:32:49 -->
00:32:53
the shortened shorter version of the names is
00:32:53 -->
00:32:58
permissible in Islam okay it's permissible for example
00:32:58 -->
00:33:02
Aisha radiyallahu ta'ala the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
00:33:02 -->
00:33:03
wa sallam sometimes used to call her Ya
00:33:03 -->
00:33:08
Aisha it doesn't change the meaning as long
00:33:08 -->
00:33:10
as didn't change the meaning so to call
00:33:10 -->
00:33:15
Muhammad a Maw or Abdullah is very common
00:33:15 -->
00:33:17
amongst the Asian people Abdullah is they call
00:33:17 -->
00:33:21
it Dullah okay or something okay this is
00:33:21 -->
00:33:25
not this not permissible it comes under changing
00:33:25 -->
00:33:29
the name okay but shortening the name it
00:33:29 -->
00:33:35
is permissible how do you understand istikhara in
00:33:35 -->
00:33:38
terms of good signs and bad signs I'm
00:33:38 -->
00:33:41
not sure if istikhara is we are going
00:33:41 -->
00:33:44
to talk about istikhara it requires a one
00:33:44 -->
00:33:47
full session for istikhara so when you do
00:33:47 -->
00:33:51
istikhara then istikhara means you seek khair from
00:33:51 -->
00:33:55
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and you make dua
00:33:55 -->
00:33:57
to Allah and once you have made dua
00:33:57 -->
00:34:01
you go ahead with whatever you have planned
00:34:01 -->
00:34:03
and see if Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has
00:34:03 -->
00:34:05
made things easy for you then it is
00:34:05 -->
00:34:07
a sign that it is good for you
00:34:07 -->
00:34:12
and if you find obstacles in your way
00:34:12 -->
00:34:14
then it is better or it is a
00:34:14 -->
00:34:16
sign from Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala not to
00:34:16 -->
00:34:18
go ahead with your task.
00:34:19 -->
00:34:22
It is a superstition to always take the
00:34:22 -->
00:34:27
right direction when traveling or when faced with
00:34:27 -->
00:34:30
two options between left and right I've heard
00:34:30 -->
00:34:33
it is sunnah yeah it is sunnah of
00:34:33 -->
00:34:37
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to begin with
00:34:37 -->
00:34:41
right okay but it doesn't mean that for
00:34:41 -->
00:34:43
example you want to go somewhere and you
00:34:43 -->
00:34:48
always take right it doesn't happen okay and
00:34:48 -->
00:34:52
it is not right and it's more dangerous
00:34:52 -->
00:34:59
than superstition okay it is superstitious to avoid
00:34:59 -->
00:35:02
going out after maghrib as it is bad
00:35:02 -->
00:35:09
omen no what is whatever instructions of the
00:35:09 -->
00:35:11
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam we find in the
00:35:11 -->
00:35:15
hadith we don't consider it as superstition or
00:35:15 -->
00:35:19
bad omen the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam never
00:35:19 -->
00:35:23
said don't go out after maghrib rather he
00:35:23 -->
00:35:26
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said about young children keep
00:35:26 -->
00:35:31
them inside at the time of sunset because
00:35:31 -->
00:35:35
that is a time when the shayateen spread
00:35:35 -->
00:35:38
out in the land but does it mean
00:35:38 -->
00:35:41
that you shouldn't take children out if you
00:35:41 -->
00:35:44
are going to the masjid for surat al
00:35:44 -->
00:35:48
maghrib no it doesn't mean that we don't
00:35:48 -->
00:35:51
let the children be running in the street
00:35:51 -->
00:35:53
that time this is what the hadith of
00:35:53 -->
00:35:56
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and he never
00:35:56 -->
00:35:59
said don't go out in you know at
00:35:59 -->
00:36:02
night or as mentioned previously and maybe some
00:36:02 -->
00:36:05
people believe that going to cemetery or graveyard
00:36:05 -->
00:36:08
at night is something that can cause big
00:36:08 -->
00:36:10
problem to you because the cemetery is full
00:36:10 -->
00:36:13
with jinn and shayateen the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
00:36:13 -->
00:36:16
wasallam used to visit Baqi and cemetery of
00:36:16 -->
00:36:21
Baqi at night sometime okay so going out
00:36:21 -->
00:36:26
after maghrib is not superstition and it is
00:36:26 -->
00:36:29
actually it is permissible something that is permissible
00:36:29 -->
00:36:33
if someone believes that going out after maghrib
00:36:33 -->
00:36:38
is something that is harmful then it is
00:36:38 -->
00:36:41
superstition and it needs to be removed how
00:36:41 -->
00:36:44
do we take if an elder shaykh sees
00:36:44 -->
00:36:48
a young child and says something like he
00:36:48 -->
00:36:51
will be a good person in future yeah
00:36:51 -->
00:36:54
this is not superstition is again this this
00:36:54 -->
00:36:59
comes within faal something good so for example
00:36:59 -->
00:37:04
someone mature experience someone who is old they
00:37:04 -->
00:37:09
see a young child being very sharp and
00:37:09 -->
00:37:15
clever they think whatever they have seen in
00:37:15 -->
00:37:17
that child that this child I think in
00:37:17 -->
00:37:19
the future is going to be a someone
00:37:19 -->
00:37:23
you know very good very successful then it's
00:37:23 -->
00:37:28
not superstition it holds within the category of
00:37:28 -->
00:37:30
faal because there is evidence remember we said
00:37:30 -->
00:37:35
superstitions are the belief without an evidence without
00:37:35 -->
00:37:39
an evidence okay so when we say as
00:37:39 -->
00:37:41
when I gave the example of seeing a
00:37:41 -->
00:37:44
black cat or something like this this is
00:37:44 -->
00:37:47
superstition it doesn't mean if you see a
00:37:47 -->
00:37:49
snake running towards you and you say no
00:37:49 -->
00:37:53
no I have tawakkul in Allah okay and
00:37:53 -->
00:37:56
I'm against superstition no this is not okay
00:37:56 -->
00:37:58
here if you have that fear if you
00:37:58 -->
00:38:00
think that there's a snake is going to
00:38:00 -->
00:38:03
stink you then it is it's not superstition
00:38:03 -->
00:38:13
this is a fact okay in
00:38:13 -->
00:38:17
UAE they manipulate the fall of rain is
00:38:17 -->
00:38:19
then a sign is this a sign of
00:38:19 -->
00:38:23
kufr on their hands as they can make
00:38:23 -->
00:38:26
rain when they want no I don't think
00:38:26 -->
00:38:32
so okay this news probably is superstition okay
00:38:32 -->
00:38:35
if if if it was in their control
00:38:35 -->
00:38:38
why did they have flood last year okay
00:38:38 -->
00:38:41
so many things including the airport okay they
00:38:41 -->
00:38:46
have so much in the damage okay no
00:38:46 -->
00:38:48
one can have a control over rain it
00:38:48 -->
00:38:55
is only Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala okay you
00:38:55 -->
00:38:57
said Allah has not disclosed five and disclosed
00:38:57 -->
00:39:01
five things to anyone on the earth okay
00:39:02 -->
00:39:05
when was rain and what are the others
00:39:05 -->
00:39:07
other four okay if you wanna find out
00:39:07 -->
00:39:10
the other four rather than me telling you
00:39:10 -->
00:39:12
I can tell you the reference of the
00:39:12 -->
00:39:15
ayah recite the ayah that is the very
00:39:15 -->
00:39:20
last ayah of surah luqman inna allaha indahu
00:39:20 -->
00:39:23
ilmus sa'a wa yunazilul ghaith wa ya
00:39:23 -->
00:39:26
'lamu ma fil arhaam wa ma tadri nafsum
00:39:26 -->
00:39:29
maada taksibu ghadaa wa ma tadri nafsum bi
00:39:29 -->
00:39:33
ayi ardin tamood okay so pick up a
00:39:33 -->
00:39:35
copy of the Quran read the translation of
00:39:35 -->
00:39:38
this ayah very last ayah of surah luqman
00:39:40 -->
00:39:46
impermissible to shorten someone's name to abdi rather
00:39:46 -->
00:39:50
than Abdullah yes if someone is named Abdullah
00:39:50 -->
00:39:53
or Abdul Rahman then we should call them
00:39:53 -->
00:39:56
with full name Abdullah or Abdul Rahman if
00:39:56 -->
00:39:58
you want to shorten it then you may
00:39:58 -->
00:40:01
call them abdu or abdi okay there's no
00:40:01 -->
00:40:06
harm in saying that but when it comes
00:40:06 -->
00:40:10
to writing specially these names or the names
00:40:10 -->
00:40:12
that are with the names of Allah subhanahu
00:40:12 -->
00:40:15
wa'ta'ala you should write them as one
00:40:15 -->
00:40:21
name Abdullah is one name Abdul Rahman should
00:40:21 -->
00:40:24
be written together as one name Abdul Rahman,
00:40:26 -->
00:40:28
where Rahman is Allah and abd is the
00:40:28 -->
00:40:31
slave of Allah the way we write Abdullah
00:40:31 -->
00:40:34
it is funny that Abdullah is always written
00:40:34 -->
00:40:37
together one word but when it comes to
00:40:37 -->
00:40:41
Abdul Rahman, Abdul Kareem, Abdul Qadeh they split
00:40:41 -->
00:40:45
abd and qadir, abd and al-kareem okay
00:40:45 -->
00:40:49
but in this case the person may be
00:40:49 -->
00:40:51
called abd because the person is abd but
00:40:51 -->
00:40:54
he can't be called Rahman can't be called
00:40:54 -->
00:40:57
al-qadir or al-kareem or al-khabir
00:40:57 -->
00:41:07
okay okay fasting question
00:41:07 -->
00:41:12
I'm working all day not even drinking okay
00:41:12 -->
00:41:16
a fasting question this is not a fiqh
00:41:16 -->
00:41:20
you know lesson or it's not open question
00:41:20 -->
00:41:23
-answer session so it's better to stick to
00:41:23 -->
00:41:25
the topic inshallah did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
00:41:25 -->
00:41:28
wa sallam not change one of his wife's
00:41:28 -->
00:41:34
names from Barra to Zainab, Allahu a'alam,
00:41:34 -->
00:41:39
can't remember, Allah knows best okay inshallah any
00:41:39 -->
00:42:01
question from the floor yes ma'am yeah
00:42:01 -->
00:42:12
yeah the
00:42:12 -->
00:42:15
brothers are asking you know very common thing
00:42:15 -->
00:42:18
that you've been thinking about someone and all
00:42:18 -->
00:42:19
of a sudden they call you you receive
00:42:19 -->
00:42:22
a call from them and you think you
00:42:22 -->
00:42:24
know they are going to have an extended
00:42:24 -->
00:42:26
life because you remember them and they called
00:42:26 -->
00:42:30
you okay this is how Allah subhanaw Taala
00:42:30 -->
00:42:33
had decreed that time that place okay but
00:42:33 -->
00:42:35
it has nothing to do so this falls
00:42:35 -->
00:42:40
within superstition remember superstition is anything any kind
00:42:40 -->
00:42:42
of belief without a fact or without any
00:42:42 -->
00:42:44
evidence we have any evidence that the life
00:42:44 -->
00:42:47
of the person extended if you remember such
00:42:47 -->
00:42:49
person if that's the case we should try
00:42:49 -->
00:42:52
to remember everyone every single day so everyone's
00:42:52 -->
00:42:55
life is extended okay life was with sneezing
00:42:55 -->
00:42:59
so it's all it's made up or whispers
00:42:59 -->
00:43:02
or whatever but they have no no evidence
00:43:02 -->
00:43:21
at all you call
00:43:21 -->
00:43:28
them what yeah brother asking is it permissible
00:43:28 -->
00:43:31
to call your children with other than the
00:43:31 -->
00:43:34
name they have been given yeah with something
00:43:34 -->
00:43:40
good yeah if the word is good you
00:43:40 -->
00:43:44
can you can for example you know a
00:43:44 -->
00:43:47
child is well behaved you say he's a
00:43:47 -->
00:43:50
good child you say good he's good the
00:43:50 -->
00:43:52
good is not Arabic word is in English
00:43:52 -->
00:43:55
so like any any any good word can
00:43:55 -->
00:44:00
be used yes and then when it comes
00:44:00 -->
00:44:03
to the ruling of the name the name
00:44:03 -->
00:44:07
doesn't have to be in Arabic okay although
00:44:07 -->
00:44:11
the common practice is that names are usually
00:44:11 -->
00:44:15
amongst Arab and non-Arab Muslims the names
00:44:15 -->
00:44:20
are usually chosen from Arabic language but it
00:44:20 -->
00:44:24
doesn't have to be okay the most of
00:44:24 -->
00:44:27
the prophets they didn't have the Arabic names
00:44:27 -->
00:44:32
Ibrahim is not a Ismail is how you
00:44:32 -->
00:44:42
are cool okay many other prophets yes sorry
00:44:42 -->
00:44:49
it's what Abdul is a better to call
00:44:49 -->
00:44:55
up up Abdul it shows that the way
00:44:55 -->
00:44:58
his name is spell is Abdul separate and
00:44:58 -->
00:45:01
Wahhab separate this is what I said is
00:45:01 -->
00:45:06
shouldn't separate the first and the second part
00:45:06 -->
00:45:09
of the name Abdul Wahhab is should be
00:45:09 -->
00:45:13
written as one name one word basically one
00:45:13 -->
00:45:18
word yeah so Abdul can be called so
00:45:18 -->
00:45:21
it is common that amongst the companions of
00:45:21 -->
00:45:23
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam there were four
00:45:23 -->
00:45:27
there were many companions with the name of
00:45:27 -->
00:45:31
Abdullah but four of them they were the
00:45:31 -->
00:45:34
you know they were the most common names
00:45:34 -->
00:45:39
you can say or the four Abdullah's that
00:45:39 -->
00:45:42
narrated many of the hadiths of the Prophet
00:45:42 -->
00:45:46
sallallahu alaihi wasallam and they were known as
00:45:46 -->
00:45:49
Abadillah does anyone know those four Abdullah?
00:45:54 -->
00:45:55
Abdullah ibn Abbas?
00:46:00 -->
00:46:03
no Abdullah is varied enough from them Abdullah
00:46:03 -->
00:46:09
ibn Umar yeah Abdullah bin Mas'ud and
00:46:09 -->
00:46:14
Abdullah bin Amr Abdullah bin Abbas Abdullah ibn
00:46:14 -->
00:46:17
Umar and Abdullah ibn Umar bin Aas and
00:46:17 -->
00:46:19
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud these four were known
00:46:19 -->
00:46:25
as Abadillah okay so the kind of abbreviation
00:46:25 -->
00:46:27
of the names is permissible as long as
00:46:27 -->
00:46:30
he didn't change the meaning okay inshallah
