As far as
the prohibitions
related to,
which is against.
Allah says in the Quran
chapter 5 verse
dedication of stones, divination of arrows. Satan.
From the handiwork that you may prosper.
Allah is saying,
oh, you believe
in, dedication
of stones, divination of arrows,
talking about fortune telling
and worship. It's haram.
Fortune telling talking about future, it is prohibited
in Islam.
Allah says in the Quran in Suri Baqarah
chapter 2, verse number 102,
Allah says
that
anyone
who involves
in black magic,
he had done images in.
And nadis of the prophet
in say Bukhari,
that amongst the major sin is
associating partners with Allah
and witchcraft.
So black magic,
witchcraft,
sorcery, it's a major thing. Imam al Dhabhi
puts it at number 3. Aftershirk,
murder,
then
witchcraft,
sorcery, black magic. So black magic is the
3rd major sin in Islam,
and our beloved prophet said,
it's hadith of Musaat Ahmad, hadith number 7045,
that if anyone is going to do an
act, a good act, and if he deters
it
because of a bad omen, it is shirk.
Abu Lah prophet said
in Arabic, it,
meaning having or doing a good deed, and
you see a thing and you think it's
a black omen.
The prophet said, if there, it is shirk
3 times.
And everyone has this, but if he has
faith in Allah, he avoids it. For example,
you're going
for an examination.
A black cat passes. Oh, bad omen. I
will not go for the examination. This is
shirk.
It is shirk and Islam.
And Hadith,
Hasun An Abu Dawood,
Hadith number
3910.
As I said, that deterring because of bad
omen, it is shirk.
Sunan Abu Dawood, volume number 4, hadith number
3915,
says there is no adwa and no atayya.
There is no bad omen,
but there is alfaal,
good thinking.
Optimism
that, yes, if you see a good sign,
no problem. There's nothing like bad omen.
It's mentioned Muslim Ahmed that there are 10
people who come to give shahada, allegiance
to the prophet.
Prophet takes the bayah of 9 people,
money does not. So people ask him, why
didn't you take of the last person?
So he says, because he's wearing an amulet,
and he takes his hand from the shirt,
and he cuts the amulet, and he says,
anyone who wears an amulet,
atawis, it is shirk.
And
the implication of tawhid
in human
life. There are various.
Time is limited.
I've been.
But
normally,
when
you lead a life, people,
they are have some center.
Some people are self centered.
Everything is themselves. I I I. Self centered.
Some people
are society centered.
No. Some people are family centered. My mother
is everything in the world.
Allah says in the Quran
that
we have ordained for you that you worship
none but him in
And Allah says in another place that we
have ordained that it'd be good to your
parents.
Your
mother breastfed you for 2 years. But the
next verse says that if your parents tell
you to worship somebody else besides Allah, of
which you have no knowledge, do not obey
them.
But live with them with love and companionship.
Sudan kabut,
chapter
29. So here, yes, you have to respect
your parent, but not above Allah. You cannot
say everything is your mother. Some people, the
wife is everything for themselves. They will buy
a diamond
necklace for them, even if they can't afford.
Bank borrow steel, I'll buy it for her
because the wife is everything in the world.
For some people, their son is everything in
the world. And if he wants to go
to a foreign country like America,
even if the degree is useless, he wants
to say, my son is studying in America.
You know, when I when I go to
Gulf countries,
when I meet this top businessman,
they both, you know, my son is studying
in Harvard University.
University. I said, mhmm. Studying in Stanford University,
Oxford University.
I'm telling
when I go to Saudi Arabia. You are
sending your son to America, to UK? I've
sent my son from India to Riyadh Jamutul
Imam. My son is studying in your country,
Jammudul Imam.
According to me, it's one of the best
universities in the world,
and they feel ashamed.
You are sending your son. I asked them
a simple question. If you send your son
to Harvard,
Oxford,
and you send your son to Jamil ul
imam
or Islam, which
will benefit you more? The prophet said when
you die, 3 things live, the wealth you
have spent, the knowledge you have spent, and
your righteous sons, righteous children praying for you.
So if your son go to Howard visit
and prays for you, if your son goes
to Jamat al Imam, my son is in
Madinah and prays for you, which will benefit
you more?
This is the problem.
Your center
is duniya.
Your center is your children.
