As far as

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

the prohibitions

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

related to,

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11

which is against.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

Allah says in the Quran

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

chapter 5 verse

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

dedication of stones, divination of arrows. Satan.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

From the handiwork that you may prosper.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

Allah is saying,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

oh, you believe

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

in, dedication

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

of stones, divination of arrows,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

talking about fortune telling

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

and worship. It's haram.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

Fortune telling talking about future, it is prohibited

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

in Islam.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

Allah says in the Quran in Suri Baqarah

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

chapter 2, verse number 102,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

Allah says

00:00:56 --> 00:00:56

that

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57

anyone

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

who involves

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

in black magic,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

he had done images in.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

And nadis of the prophet

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

in say Bukhari,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

that amongst the major sin is

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

associating partners with Allah

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

and witchcraft.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

So black magic,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

witchcraft,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

sorcery, it's a major thing. Imam al Dhabhi

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

puts it at number 3. Aftershirk,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

murder,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

then

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

witchcraft,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

sorcery, black magic. So black magic is the

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

3rd major sin in Islam,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

and our beloved prophet said,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

it's hadith of Musaat Ahmad, hadith number 7045,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

that if anyone is going to do an

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

act, a good act, and if he deters

00:01:43 --> 00:01:43

it

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

because of a bad omen, it is shirk.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

Abu Lah prophet said

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

in Arabic, it,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

meaning having or doing a good deed, and

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

you see a thing and you think it's

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

a black omen.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

The prophet said, if there, it is shirk

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

3 times.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

And everyone has this, but if he has

00:02:02 --> 00:02:05

faith in Allah, he avoids it. For example,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

you're going

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

for an examination.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

A black cat passes. Oh, bad omen. I

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

will not go for the examination. This is

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

shirk.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

It is shirk and Islam.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

And Hadith,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

Hasun An Abu Dawood,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

Hadith number

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

3910.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

As I said, that deterring because of bad

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

omen, it is shirk.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

Sunan Abu Dawood, volume number 4, hadith number

00:02:30 --> 00:02:30

3915,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

says there is no adwa and no atayya.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

There is no bad omen,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

but there is alfaal,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

good thinking.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:39

Optimism

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

that, yes, if you see a good sign,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

no problem. There's nothing like bad omen.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

It's mentioned Muslim Ahmed that there are 10

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

people who come to give shahada, allegiance

00:02:50 --> 00:02:50

to the prophet.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

Prophet takes the bayah of 9 people,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

money does not. So people ask him, why

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

didn't you take of the last person?

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

So he says, because he's wearing an amulet,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

and he takes his hand from the shirt,

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

and he cuts the amulet, and he says,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

anyone who wears an amulet,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

atawis, it is shirk.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

And

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

the implication of tawhid

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15

in human

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

life. There are various.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

Time is limited.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

I've been.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

But

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

normally,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:23

when

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

you lead a life, people,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

they are have some center.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

Some people are self centered.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

Everything is themselves. I I I. Self centered.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:35

Some people

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

are society centered.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

No. Some people are family centered. My mother

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

is everything in the world.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

Allah says in the Quran

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

that

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

we have ordained for you that you worship

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

none but him in

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

And Allah says in another place that we

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

have ordained that it'd be good to your

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

parents.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:57

Your

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

mother breastfed you for 2 years. But the

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03

next verse says that if your parents tell

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

you to worship somebody else besides Allah, of

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

which you have no knowledge, do not obey

00:04:08 --> 00:04:08

them.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

But live with them with love and companionship.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

Sudan kabut,

00:04:13 --> 00:04:13

chapter

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

29. So here, yes, you have to respect

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

your parent, but not above Allah. You cannot

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

say everything is your mother. Some people, the

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

wife is everything for themselves. They will buy

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

a diamond

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

necklace for them, even if they can't afford.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

Bank borrow steel, I'll buy it for her

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

because the wife is everything in the world.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

For some people, their son is everything in

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

the world. And if he wants to go

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

to a foreign country like America,

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

even if the degree is useless, he wants

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

to say, my son is studying in America.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

You know, when I when I go to

00:04:43 --> 00:04:43

Gulf countries,

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

when I meet this top businessman,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

they both, you know, my son is studying

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

in Harvard University.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

University. I said, mhmm. Studying in Stanford University,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

Oxford University.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

I'm telling

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

when I go to Saudi Arabia. You are

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

sending your son to America, to UK? I've

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

sent my son from India to Riyadh Jamutul

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

Imam. My son is studying in your country,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

Jammudul Imam.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

According to me, it's one of the best

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

universities in the world,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

and they feel ashamed.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

You are sending your son. I asked them

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

a simple question. If you send your son

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

to Harvard,

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

Oxford,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

and you send your son to Jamil ul

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

imam

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

or Islam, which

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

will benefit you more? The prophet said when

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

you die, 3 things live, the wealth you

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

have spent, the knowledge you have spent, and

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

your righteous sons, righteous children praying for you.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

So if your son go to Howard visit

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

and prays for you, if your son goes

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

to Jamat al Imam, my son is in

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

Madinah and prays for you, which will benefit

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

you more?

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

This is the problem.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

Your center

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

is duniya.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

Your center is your children.
