brothers and
sisters inshallah we won't take too much
of your time for questions and answers
we probably won't go through them
all uh I'll go to the first
question the two stories the question
asks the two stories that you said are
they really
true I don't know which story stories
but they are all true brother or sister
and all the other stories before were
based on hadiths read
in there are also little tiny booklets
which Scholars have also written lot of
tapes that talk about these
things uh and the last story is from a
book
called talks about the history of Islam
and I also heard that story from uh a
Sheikh a Sheikh from
it's it's a known it's a known tape it's
a known story we never tell false
stories because false stories is not
what a Muslim says it's Haram to tell a
story which is a lie unless you tell the
people it's not true so these are true
stories mark my
words it is
stated that we do not enter Jah till
after Judgment day and this is a known
fact I am just curious as to why so many
hadiths state that certain companions
have entered Jenna and meet each other
there
Etc brother or sister in
Islam first of all not everyone enters
Jenna conditionally after the day of
judgment there are people who beat other
people to Jenna there are people who go
in without being being judged at all
such as the sh and did you hear the
Hadith of the Prophet Sall alaihi
wasallam that says 70,000 of my um shall
enter J without or without judgment or
any type of
torture so Jenna does not necessarily
you don't necessarily enter it after
Judgment Day has ended but you will go
in
groups but you have to wait at the door
of Jenna until the prophet Muhammad s
alaihi wasallam enters it first that's
the only difference
so the first part it's not a fact that
everyone enters Jenna after judgment
day but as soon as Allah descends to
begin the Judgment then people start to
enter meaning in groups not as soon as
they resurrected but as soon as the
prophet Muhammad s Ali wasallam
prostrates to Allah and says and Allah
then descends when his anger calmes down
and he says to the prophet Sall alaihi
wasallam muhamad
lift your
head make intercession I will give you
and ask for whatever you like I will
give you and then he
says my nation my nation and then Allah
begins to call out enter such a people
in and enter such a people in and so on
and so on and judgment here and judgment
there
secondly
uh why hadiths uh many hadiths stud
about Companions and others were
entering Jenna as though it is speaking
about the present time brother and
sister this is the way Allah subhanahu
wa taala
speaks because to Allah time has already
passed did you hear the verse in the
Quran where Allah
says one day to Allah is like a thousand
years of what we count and that's only
one day to Allah everything is already
happened to Allah secondly Allah's
knowledge of everything is already there
before he began creation before he even
created the pen Before Time Allah knew
and so he speaks Allah speaks as though
it is now to us but because he does not
need to say in the future because the
future can change but to Allah he
already knows what the future is so he
does not need to say in the future
another
question the questioner asks I hear you
and understand you with every minute
struggle to attain Jenna yes that is one
of the main point but I have a concern
how can you struggle and want to feel
this sense of poverty and struggle if
you have a family who are Muslim but
love the banks and go against everything
you do according to de Al Islam and
you're only so
young this is a question from a sister
may Allah reward you for having that
concern first of all you don't need to
have that sense of poverty
no you don't need to feel poverty no no
this is not what the message
was feeling poverty is one
thing but when poverty doesn't affect
you is another
thing a Muslim is not affected by
poverty and in Islam be
careful there are people who you are who
have rights over you and you're
responsible for to provide them with
wealth
first such as for example the husband is
in charge of his wife and his children
first and then his
parents your S is to them first and if
you have nothing else let it be to them
keep that in
mind a person who feels
poverty is a person who is afraid of
poverty you what I mean by that a person
who feels poverty in a sense where he is
afraid of poverty is not a good feeling
because the Shan says Allah says in the
Quran he promises you that you're going
to become poor this is what happens to
people who go to Banks of river why do
they go there when they say to us it is
an necessity do you know what that
necessity is no they haven't ended up on
the street no they do have a place to
live in they're renting for example what
they're talking about is the
future one day they're going to end up
on the street they don't know what the
future is that's what the Shan is
promising them he's promising them
poverty this type of feeling is not a
good feeling but to know that you are a
little bit poor in money ask Allah for
more there is nothing wrong with that to
want to be rich there is nothing wrong
with that but the fear poverty the fear
of the future making you go to do Haram
that's what we're talking
about many companions struggled for jna
and loved it but they were rich but they
gave from their wealth their
rights you ask your family goes to Banks
and you are so young and I extra to that
you are a sister a female a female often
has a less effect against her father or
her brothers for example because men
these days they have so much pride they
can't accept an advice from a child or a
woman which is quite very on the
contrary in
Islam sister you are to do what you are
able to do with your tongue first of all
with your hands if you're able to change
something with your hand change
it if you can't change it with your
mouth speak good words of wisdom like
what the prophet used to
speak if you
can't if you're unable to speak with
your mouth what I mean by that not that
if you speak to them and they don't
listen no no that's giving up hope I'm
saying if you can't meaning there's
something stopping you from
talking then the prophet wasallam said
then hide it in your heart and watch out
for yourself Allah
says oh people you are to be worried
about yourselves no one can harm you if
you are
guided so this is what you do sister you
are so young uh youth is is not an
obstacle
inshallah but try your best and earn the
rewards be sincere to Allah wanting
Jenna uh guiding someone is in the hands
of Allah it's not your decision it's not
our it's not my it's not my business
whether someone accepts or rejects my
business is that I do my duty and that's
all that Allah asks of you don't stress
don't
feel don't don't sort of blame yourself
for anything do your worship properly do
your duties as far as you can and save
yourself
first very
simple someone has made a statement here
from the
sisters a word of a word of advice to my
brothers as a teacher I know that
sometimes the young boys and girls can
feel intimidated by their Elders
religiously mentally and
physically I want to ask a favor I want
the young people here today not to feel
shy and hold back in searching for
knowledge I want them to look at the
youngest Khalifa in Islam his name is
Muhammad Al fat and take him as an
example Constantinople
constantina he opened Constantinople
after the Crusaders took it he was only
17 years of age and was the head of the
Muslim
I urge all of you to find out the story
and
from and and search for more like him
and maybe one day become like him
inshallah I ask Allah to make the umah
Muhammad wasallam Pious and loving to
one another somebody once asked me how
do you think the Muslims will become or
what they would come to I answered look
at its youth
change for Jenna
and yes as though this person took the
words out of my mind and spoke
them also another question the
questioner asks I have been practicing
Islam for 3 years now and I wore hijab
which is in the past tense but I have
taken my hijab off 8 months ago I can't
handle it will I enter
Paradise a person to ask this question
means just by asking that question means
that they are concerned about what Allah
thinks of them this is the first step to
a sister wearing her hijab in the
beginning not just hij first step to
praying first step to uh fasting first
step to donating all of these things to
recognize Allah subhanahu wa
taala when you ask this question it
means that you are concerned about what
Allah thinks so alhamdulillah this is
good just because of that and I can't
really answer if you're into entering
Jen I can't say that I'm entering Jen
Muhammad s wasallam himself said W no
one will enter
jenah without the mercy of Allah they
said not even you said not even I only
if Allah wants to give me mercy so no
one can guarantee J and I cannot judge
who enters Jenna and who enters Hellfire
even if you didn't wear the hijab but
what I can say is
this keep Allah in your mind and realize
your when you ask Allah and you ask is
Allah going to punish pun me or not it
means that you believe in
Allah which means that inshallah you
will enter Jen
inshallah every Muslim will enter Jenna
every Muslim who never died with shik
will enter
Jenna but I have to say what the prophet
sallai wasallam said in general not to
the questioner herself or
himself herself CU this is a hijab
woman the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasam and Allah say in says in the
Quran if you can guarantee that or if
you avoid the major sins I will pardon
you from all the minor sins and let you
enter Jenna without any
punishment the prophet Sall alaihi
wasallam also says any person who dies
with a major sin his matter is to
Allah and then he says each major sin
has a
punishment wherever the prophet Sall
wasallam says talks about a punishment
or a from Allah know that it is a major
sin since you asking me about hij then I
say to you that through
and is it's compulsory because commanded
in the Quran and commanded on the tongue
of the Prophet s wasallam inkari and
Muslim and and Abu
and
and other
books hij is just like Salat is and
whoever abandons A F of course hijab is
less than than a prayer but it is a f
still whoever abandons a f which Allah
has commanded
compulsory then there is a punishment
for
that whether Allah punishes the woman
who takes over a hijab or doesn't is his
concern a woman who is a prostitute as
the prophet told us enter
Jenna because she gave a dog water to
drink but she believed in Allah so who
am I to say that a woman who doesn't
wear hijab specifically will not enter
but I say that the prophet s wasallam
said I saw
in
[Music]
people I never saw of them or never
known of them
before
women
they are clothed but at the same time
they are still
naked they move from side to
side in Temptation tempting
men seductive
walks showing their
bodies their heads are shaped and
fashioned yeah they like palm trees or
humps
and this is a
fashion they will not enter paradise and
they will not be able to smell its
fragrance and although the fragrance of
paradise can be smelted from distance of
so and
so this means that the woman who doesn't
wear her hijab and Allah Only Knows
again in general Allah only knows of her
State she will not enter jenah in the
beginning when Allah says enter
Jah but rather she will be
detained or she will be
punished in whatever means Allah knows
of in
Hellfire and then she will be saved
because of the intercession of the
Prophet sallallahu alai was now this is
in general this is by default as you can
say
but then again we cannot say who enters
and who
doesn't there was an old woman who was
bad to her neighbors and the prophet and
the companions asked him
Allah she prays a lot and she fasts a
lot and donates in in the night she
prays but she's bad character to her
neighbors he
said there is no good from her she's in
fire they said her neighbor is another
woman who doesn't pray as much doesn't
donate as much but she's is good to her
neighbors and to people as Allah
commanded he
said she is in
J another woman entered Hellfire because
she trapped a cat she didn't feed it nor
did she let it go out to eat from what
Allah provided
her only Allah knows really specifically
who enters and who doesn't but in
general you're in danger in general the
brothers as well I'm sorry about that to
say who shave their beards are also in
danger you are at risk risking it and
it's like when a person passes a red
light drives past the red
light you are at
risk either there is a camera or a
police may see you or you may be
reported or you may not you may get away
with it person who shaves their beard of
the men it is a and a woman who takes
over
which is also a you are placing yourself
at risk my dear brothers and
sisters don't Place yourself in
risks another question is it permissible
to pluck your eyebrows just clean it up
not remove the whole
thing my eyebrows as a man I'm not
allowed to pluck them either so what
about the woman the prophet sallallahu
alai wasam
said
Allah curses the woman who plucks her
eyebrows and the woman who plucks them
for
her and the woman who tattoos another
woman woman who does who gets it
tattooed for
herself and the woman who files her
teeth or makes them wider in order to
look nicer just for nothing like that
she is
cursed so you said pluck your eyebrows
then you said just clean it up not
remove the whole
thing well cleaning up involves plucking
so if remove if cleaning up involves
plucking then it's the same thing sister
isn't it or
brother however I would like to relieve
you with one thing in a case of extreme
necessity you're allowed to pluck your
eyebrows such as if you are happen to be
a woman and this is very rare a woman
obviously who has abnormal eyebrows then
Allah does not oppress you he allows you
to pluck enough to look make them look
normal not to pluck them to make them
look like Mod's ink or
something and also you're allowed to
pluck between the eyebrows all right in
the Arabic term the eyebrows are the
ones directly above the eyes so you can
clean up what's above your nose but
above the eye this is a something which
Allah takes offense to it because as
though you are altering Allah's creation
altering Allah's art
yeah so be careful of
that 10 minutes lots of the brothers go
to watch the
football uh I've advised my husband not
to go but he doesn't listen I don't feel
it's a place for Muslims the music is
very loud the cheerleaders Etc are going
off I am an extremely jealous wife I
believe I have this right please ad wi
my husband and brothers may Allah reward
you okay I'll split it into little
sections cuz some things I agree and
some things I don't um lots of Brothers
go to watch uh the
football I don't think a lot of them do
inshallah as far as I know I think a lot
of
them yeah a lot of them do actually yeah
but not the religious ones I'm talking
about the religious ones but uh if you
do go to the
football first of all Brothers and
sisters obviously it's a Haram
environment because there's music and
cheerleaders just like there is on
television or in the market or anywhere
else that you go the only difference is
that when you go for a necessity and
music has to be there and you can't
avoid it that's different to when you go
directly to the football and you know
that the environment is not um good over
there you had a person who's sitting
next to you drinking alcohol and going
off his head women uh sitting next to
you and also screaming foul language
when they're very sure small and the man
loves to look at that you know I mean a
lot of men who have evil Hearts you I
mean they go there some of them to have
that pleasure I mean when you ask them
why can't you just watch it on
television they say no we have to go
there because we have to live the moment
and scream that's what one person said
to me goes brother what do you think I
go there I can't hear anything I can't
really see what's going on down there
but I love to scream and swear at this
player and swear at that player just
like everyone else F you and F this and
if
that now this is what happens it's a
place of fah avoid the places which the
Shan hangs around him my dear brothers
now it says here as well I uh I have
extreme I am an extremely jealous wife I
have to comment on that my dear sister
because uh one of the problems that can
exist between a relationship is being
too
jealous un
unnecessarily there has to be trust
between each other if there's no trust
there's really no relationship and I
emphasize this there has to be trust and
by him going to the footy is not taking
your right away no if he provides you
with other time he's not taking your
right away he's actually taking his own
right
away by placing himself in a place which
Allah
hates don't have extreme jealousy tune
it down a bit tone it down a bit
inshallah because if you have extreme
jealousy goodness it'll only get worse
and you're living in Australia here it's
it'll only even get even worse and worse
and worse yeah and there will be times
where your husb your husband's probably
completely innocent and you will uh
slander him with things that he is
innocent of and on a day of judgment he
may complain to Allah about you are you
willing to take that risk however say
you you know you're Halal andam and
Allah knows the best you know if uh if
you don't want me as a wife inshallah
you know there are other means but if
you want me as a wife alhamdulillah you
know you alhamdulillah I protect you and
help protect you from Hellfire and so on
and I tell you a story
about a man a man was in his house and
uh his wife began to shout you know
disrespectfully to him which is really
not good from a woman it's this is
something Allah really
hates she but she screamed and she's
weak so he went to complain to what's he
going to do as soon as he came close to
his house he heard om's wife
yelling and then he tried to walk away
by
went out and caught him he said you've
come for something he said no no it's
okay he said no you're going to ask me
I'm going to help you he said well this
is my state and I when I found that your
state is like that I thought well who am
I
so said to him this this is how they
thought and this is how you men should
think as well he said she is my partner
in life she washes my clothes she looks
after my children she prepares my meals
she guards my chest she guards my
secrets behind me and she saves me from
Hell Fire my Temptations don't take me
in a Haram
Place meaning if you know a bad thing
about her think about all the other good
things that she has but jealousy my dear
sister and brothers W most jealousies
most of them if not all of them lead to
divorce if not divorce you'll have a
very ugly life turn down to
jealousy yes be jealous but not that not
that much
not that
much the men get the men
get ah the men
get do women get something similar and
can they change their minds about the
man they are with so do they have
multiple choices please
advise I'm sure the sister asked it out
of pure intent insh because we consider
that when a sister asked this
question uh you know you're still in
this life you're not in Jenna yet and
you're already Desiring multiple
choices you know what I mean so be
careful about that now you asked if you
can
get men in J in other words yes I think
you can because comment about that and
they said because Allah says in the
Quran whatever their soul desires and
tempts for and Allah did not Place
conditions so inshallah you may get your
man in
Jenna if you don't want your
husband um that you are with I don't
know allaham but what I can say to you
is
[Music]
this Allah satisfies everyone
satisfaction what do you want more than
that you're completely satisfied and you
wish for things and you wish and you
wish until finally there's no more
wishes and you are completely satisfied
Allah gives you ideas more and more and
more and then he shows you himself so
inshallah you'll be satisfied don't
worry another question If a person
misses on some prayers purposely out of
laziness but have a great fear of Allah
and death as they are as they or will
they be the Dwellers of
Heaven
allahar if they have fear of Allah
inshallah they will enter jna they
will by not praying one prayer of
laziness or two or three doesn't make
you a dweller of Hellfire forever you
may be punished purposefully yes there
is a sin for it but there is always Toba
and read listen to Ahmed the
repenter you will know what I'm talking
about in Toba do we have to follow a
m Brothers why don't you read the
questions before you give them to
me sorry about that do we have to follow
the mhab or can we use our own intellect
to understand the the Quran and the
Sunnah um what it bad I don't understand
the last part but in general yes you can
follow aab who said you
can't people who study in Medina or any
sh school they grab a certain M and they
teach it for example in Madina they
study
the was a
[Music]
Maliki was a Maliki
however there's a small difference and
you know what I'm about to
say nobody no one not a single being no
matter how knowledged they are how
knowledgeable they are is to be followed
blindly without some investigations with
whatever you have ability to investigate
in so if you are an old grandmother who
does not know how to read and write
doesn't understand anything but goats
and sheep as she was
raised then it is sufficient for her for
a she who is
trustworthy and seems to be sincere and
you can see the signs on
him and he constantly says Quran andah
Hadith for her just to say is this
allowed and he says yes that's it that's
enough for her however someone I give an
example of myself for example I consider
myself a student of knowledge and I'm
able to read Arabic and research in some
hadiths and read what Scholars have
commented on certain hadiths that are
fabricated and so on I have to go to
that length
where I stop I stop and then I choose a
certain if I if if it's not clear and
it's rare to be not clear if it's
something's very unclear and there is a
a
uh a a difference of opinion then you
follow what your heart is contempt with
to meet Allah subhanahu wa
taala or you can go back to the maab
until you find something which is
greater evidence if I come to you right
and I say aith and his is and it's inar
and it's very clear as the sun and you
have understood it and then you say to
me but my M says something else so I'm
sorry not going to be able to follow
that then my dear brother or sister
unfortunately and with I say it as it is
you have made that mhab your Prophet you
have made Malik or Abu hanifah your
Prophet because they themselves are
innocent from that they say don't don't
follow us
blindly
if the is is and then it is our this is
what we been trying to do which means
that they lack some
knowledge sometimes not all the Hadith
have have been brought to
them in time of bukari he was after IM
Abu hanifah for example there were
hadiths he he discovered that still
existed and were and they didn't know of
them so it's not a condition my dear
sisters and brothers says alayum Alum
what do you propose as to how how we
Muslims should keep up
the enthusiasm for
um for new
Dean
uh always recite the Quran and try to
understand it every day have a which
means some type of which you always say
or have 10 minutes a day or half an hour
a day where you read the Quran and try
to understand make times in your day for
Allah if you don't make a certain time
in the day for Allah you will forget
Allah and your enth enthusiasm will go
down even if you pray When you pray
because prayer can come an automatic
thing a mechanical thing and you don't
know why you're praying and what you've
just done how many Ras you've done
anyway you need to always always try to
also learn new things read ask be around
religious people as much as you can and
be around religious people as much as
you can make Dua try to way and and if
all of that doesn't work go back to the
basics the basic of how of what makes a
Muslim what makes a person a Muslim and
that is the creation of Allah subhanahu
wa taala how many of us make a time in
the night or in the day to just spend
time to think about Allah's creation
contemplate about how the stars are up
there Subhan Allah or about how the
Earth moves or watching a video about uh
birds and things like that and sort of
learn how to um how Allah's creation is
I remembered Birds because AB who was
sitting here has a tape about birds and
I really want to watch it I've been at
his house for 2 days and he hasn't put
it on for
me maybe tomorrow
inshallah and uh so creation of Allah
think about it contemplate about it
it'll make your Iman firm again W it'll
do something to your heart you'll feel
that tingle inside your heart as soon as
you do it investigate and and keep
moving and looking and striving Iman
goes up and Iman goes down don't worry
so long as you're still in your
compulsory things
how can the Muslim show the
non-believers that Islam is a complete
way of life any spiritually
politically inshallah we'll sit together
and we discuss this inshallah everything
has its own way but really I I try to
say to you try if and and concentrate on
when you talk to them Allah's Oneness
and you show them the good character
from yourself it depends what the
non-muslim is talking about another
question are all the good dreams from
Allah subhana tala I saw that I was
taken
[Music]
okay this is a dream that I have to
interpret I'm not good at doing it
brothers and sisters but let's go for it
I saw that I was taken to a higher level
where there was a tree so big it covered
the scene a beautiful man approached me
and said come I then inquired of someone
what about such and such he then replied
you may intercede for 70 others Subhan
Allah could this mean what I presume at
all or not this was shown to me exactly
after after F prayer and I had returned
from Haj give me your interpretation
brother please so that I too may have
hope I wish you I was in your place my
dear
brother this is of course certainly a
Dream from Allah subhanahu
waala
and maybe this does mean what you are
thinking
