is
the alhamdulillah peace be with you
thank you for tuning in to another
episode of the dean show today we're
going to be answering one of your
questions so don't go anywhere I got
something to read to you so we can all
benefit when we come back here in the
Dean
[Music]
showan this is
the this is the
[Music]
the
the this is the
the
the this is the
D this is the is
the
[Music]
the
the the assalam alikum peace be with
you Kim here on the dean show how are
you how are things in Denver peaceful
peaceful alhamdulillah now some people
think that you know Muslims are bringing
Havoc so they're trying to you know get
people all wild up wound up and scared
but we started with peace you said it's
peaceful are Muslim bringing peace or
they bringing Havoc a Muslim must bring
peace where wherever he
is must be with a smile must be that's
how we should be um we shouldn't be just
like Salam alikum no no no you see uh
Salam is is is the word but it it really
also you must carry the spirit of it
Salam means peace so not only the word
you rather have to um carry the spirit
of peace and you know that's how the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam you
know was and this is how he penetrated
Hearts because of that peaceful uh
approach of of of about things and to
others and I know it's hard you know
it's it's it's hard sometimes we we all
get tested we all go through hardship
hardships but do it for the sake of
Allah do it for the sake of Allah
because whenever you carry that name
Muhammad Ahmed is a Muslim name or you
have the appearance and look of a Muslim
you're presenting Islam and this is what
will make a difference Eddie in in in in
here if we you see a lot of people are
asking why the dawa is not reaching its
goal here we've been trying we've been
our numbers are increasing why um I tell
them
this
um at one stage actually he decided to
leave Mecca because again he was going
through the oppression and the Injustice
of non-muslims at the very beginning so
he arrived at a place called jeda near
the Red Sea about to take a ship and go
to ainia so one of the non-muslims cafir
non-muslims he he was actually one of
the leaders of the tribe in the Arabia
his name
is he's the leader of a tribe called so
he saw him by by the seaside and he's
about to get in where are you going Abu
Bakr he said I'm leaving Mecca I cannot
worship Allah freely I'm going through
you know I'm I can't wear my hijab for a
Muslim woman in America
I cannot uh you know have the look of a
Muslim you know having a beard and and
because I'm singled out and I'm I lose
my job if I pray and so forth you know
what the this non-muslim said to Abu
Bakr sik you know what he said to him
my someone like you should not leave nor
he should be
expelled why he said to him because
you're generous to your guest you stand
for the truth
and you help the
needy he mentioned his character you see
a nonm Muslim careless how many raas you
pray at night whether you do I'm not
belittling this so I'm not don't don't
please don't misunderstand me but he
looks at your character who are you the
you know
abari the companion he used to live in
gar M he was one of the companions by
the way he worshiped Allah according to
the mill of ibraim and he heard about
this messenger this person in Mecca
claiming that he's a Messenger s
Muhammad s Ali wasallam he doesn't know
he heard a rumor that there is somebody
in Mecca is claiming that he's a prophet
so he had a a brother his name is is UN
he said yeah un go and check this man
out for me so un went to mecah and he
sat around the Kaa and he's watching the
prophet
like he came back to Abu and he told him
one statement
I saw a man who's commanding good
character good character
yes so if we got good character people
who are having good care are not
spreading Havoc no they're people like
who are calling to peace Muslims right
and Islam means peace meaning if you
want to get peace you got to submit to
the owner peace right and this is what
it's all about right yeah so that's what
will make the difference at the end of
the day so I must say peace MH I must
you know Subhan Allah we yeah try it
plastic sometime sometimes you have to
do with plastic I mean begin with a
plastic you know more plastic plastic
and then it ends up to be natural and
then it'll be natural it becomes natural
so this is what the Muslims are about so
tell us now now I got the question I
open the show and I said look we got to
read the question so the other person
that's qualified God willing to help
give us some advice people go to doctors
if they have a disease and something but
many of us we have the disease of the
heart and this is more important because
the pills might fix you up and you might
might heal your bone if it's broke but
man when the heart is Rusted it needs
that Polish Polish so let's get some
Polish here so tell us the sister look I
think there sister she says a message
love your show uh sister needs a push
title okay so she said for years my
husband has been growing and improving
in his Dean Dean the way of life of all
the messengers of God Islam so and for
years he has been nicely trying to get
me to wear the hijab that's the fashion
from the seven Heavens from the crater
right so uh he's been for years trying
to get me to wear the hijab and for
years I've refused I just can't seem to
find the courage to wear it my parents
are Muslims more cultural in Brackets it
says and it's strange but they are
against the hijab also and I feel they
would disown me if I put it on I'm also
nervous as to how my friends friends
would react it's eating away at me and I
feel Allah the Creator keeps sending me
signs now the question is am I being
ungrateful by not wearing it what about
my parents what am I going to do
allahar that's the question Shake let's
turn this into a program I thought you
know we can discuss this and inshallah
at the end the sister will shed a tear
her heart will soften and she's going to
run and put the can can I tell you
something that uh I think I done in a
previous show with you but here it is
again the religion is
Creed and
Shar Shar is laws commands the is law a
la but the is missing here in the heart
of my sister and I'm not being
judgmental of her but um you know we all
need
knowledge um I want to I want to I want
to base this on on on a story The the
story of the
hijab is the narrator of this one um she
says this when the verse regarding the
command for the women to we the hijab
was revealed
number
33 because a lot of the viewers they say
the is not in the Quran it's in the
Quran the immigrants the women the wives
of the immigrants as soon as this verse
was revealed you know Arab women they
used to have around them something
called something that they wrap around
their waist they tore this and they
covered right away they didn't hesitate
no
because a command from Allah they were
connected with Allah yes they knew that
you have to please Allah you have no
choice look at this verse idy look at
this verse sister I hope you're watching
us it is not befitting for someone who
want to be a believer what whether he is
male or female when Allah subhah wa
ta'ala decides a matter that they have a
choice they have a choice no choice you
have no choice sister I think a lot of
our Muslim sisters they think hijab is
just a religious symbol like the cross
in Christianity or the they call this
what mka or
H the hijab is a religious requirement
for a Muslim
sister it's like praying fire times a
day you have no choice it is not
befitting for a believing man or a
believing women when Allah subhah wa
ta'ala
commands you to do something that you
have a choice that you have an
option or you're intimidated by other
people unless if your life is threatened
that's another issue but you're afraid
now that you're going to displease your
family but meanwhile you are displeasing
Allah I tell you my sister your family
will find other ways to be displeased
with
you and I base this on also in an
authentic Hadith the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam says if you try to
displease Allah if you displease Allah
or here it
is if you try to please people at the
expense of the displeasure of Allah
Allah subhah wa tala will make those
people displeased with you
I I see that you need to take a break
but here it is sister please Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and you will see
that your family will be behind you on
this Allah will make him pleased with
you that's we're going to get to the the
rest of the had when we come back and
mention this don't go anywhere we'll be
right back you think these things are
going to bring you happiness you know
why you keep going back to the club and
you keep going back to these
desires cuz you never find satisfaction
it's going to end up causing you if it
hasn't already a lot of
pain you think you're happy you're
kidding yourself you really
are what we are offering in Islam what
we have found in Islam for ourselves is
a means by which our hearts are at peace
they're at rest they're not discontent
we are pleased with what we have
[Music]
I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
a li B I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
a lies I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
a am not AF stand Al
back here on the dean show our special
guest shik Karim Imam in Denver and you
deal with these issues all the time
you've been Imam a long time you know
and we want to get from your knowledge
so we can benefit and so inshallah we
can Implement and we can do this way of
life Islam submission to the will of God
so we can avoid the Hellfire because
death is a reality and we want to get to
Jenna and the way to get there is to
please our creator before we meet our
creator and now we're talking about
we're answering a question sister wants
a push she wants this encouragement so
we're giving it inshallah so you
mentioned the Hadith continue from there
if you work to to please the people at
the expense of displeasing Allah Allah
will be displeased with you here here is
what it says
yeah whosoever tries to please people
and regardless whoever it is whether you
you mention your family in your question
family friends so you're trying to
please your family and your friends but
at the expense of the displeasure of
Allah you see we need to understand that
the concept of me loving you and I'm
loving you it's it's not we have really
nothing to do with it maybe we need to
to to explain that Concept in a minute
you see we love with that limb right the
heart isn't that yes I mean I will love
you with the hand I just you know I love
you with the heart heart okay can I say
this my heart I want you to love idie
can I do can I do this no it doesn't
work this way actually the one who
directs your heart to love a
person is the one who holds the hearts
the prophet sallallahu
alai he
says the hearts of the children of Adam
are two fingers of the fingers of Allah
we believe that Allah has fingers we
believe that but how they look like we
don't know should we visualize no we
don't so it's nothing like his creation
nothing is like him nothing like him and
whatever you visualize is beyond
that so our hearts Define that what you
just said from the
Quran there is nothing like Allah
there's nothing like Allah nothing like
Allah once it comes to his Essence
nothing like Allah once it comes to his
actions nothing like Allah once it comes
to his names nothing like Allah once it
comes to his attributes he's he don't
look like us we don't look like none of
you don't compare Allah to any of his
creation yes our hearts are between two
fingers of Allah he rotates them the way
that he wants here is that concept of
love works sister listen to
this the prophet Sall wasallam
says if Allah loves a servant of his he
will
call the
Archangel the prophet sallam saw him at
one stage 600 Wings he block The
Horizon I love so the son of
so imagine Allah saying your name you
know in Facebook right now you know they
get you get these messages this person
mentioned your name you get excited now
you get excited you imagine Allah is
mentioned
mentioning your
name somebody really you know a
companion whose name
is the prophet Sall wasallam called upon
him and he
said the companion the one who L the at
the time of om the
Muslims Allah commanded me to recite to
you you know what
did Allah name me to you who am I for
Allah to name me for Imagine sister if
Allah loves you he will call upon jiel I
love so the daughter of so jiel love him
jel will call upon the Dwellers of the
heavens the Angels Allah Lov so and so I
want you to love them here it is
here then the acceptance of that person
will be placed in the hearts of the
Believers in Earth
but now how will Allah love you when you
are disobeying
him how come on let's make sense how
just please Allah subhah wa tala and at
the end of the day if you seek the
pleasure of Allah Allah will get the
people liking you your family will like
you your family will love you and this
is what is meant by this
Hadi whoever tries to please people at
the expense of Allah the displeasure of
Allah Allah Will turns their hearts
against that
person and if you end up making people
unhappy because you're trying to please
your lord the prophet did not say that
Allah is going to make them no he said
Allah will protect you from the people
they're not going to harm
you yes we love our parents yes we like
our friends we like we like to be
accepted by them there is no question
about it but
listen there is no human being entitled
to OB obedience which comes at the
expense of the Disobedience of Allah is
as simple as that for we tell the sister
come on do it do it for the sake of
Allah like you said this world is so
short you always say I always hear you
saying that it is so short we could die
tomorrow yeah you dying tomorrow without
a hijab Allah will ask you about why
because I was trying to please my my
friends I'm trying to please the society
I'm trying to please my family I'm
telling you this answer is not going to
pay off now what can the the brother do
also cuz we look at the sisters but
let's take to account some of the
husbands also so let's say the husband
at home should he be making his house an
environment of Quran he makes his house
now let's say he wants his wife to wear
hijab but he's got you know baseball
football and Xbox all day you don't hear
the
let's say he's like coming around but at
the same time look we don't want to
again like be judgmental and we're being
gentle with this obviously cuz we love
you know so we love the people so we
want to you know uh uh give the best
advice so what about the brother now
also should he be making more talking
more about having like uh open up like
the books and let's say or some of the
books of knowledge and talking with his
wife mentioning Allah more the Quran
every day maybe have a little Hal in the
morning things like this I don't know
you give us the advice I mean I will but
shall I tell you something that is
relevant to the hijab please tell us the
appearance mhm this is a command yeah
it's a command for the it's a command no
question about
it if we're asking the sister to show
like this why I mean if the brother is
shaved then I'm sorry I begin with that
I mean have this but add to this you
know uh establishing your Muslim home
like a Muslim home mhm we know that the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam baned
us from having dogs are you having dogs
at home remove them pictures why because
Allah the knowah of the Unseen told us
angels will not enter this house angels
will not enter this house now what is
going on with all these music videos and
and and and and and CDs and all that
stuff come on let's work together to
have our Muslim homes established
according to the way of Islam not just
the appearance in the outside when we go
outside but inside the house and alh
wasallam mentioned that the man is the
one who needs to make these calls so
don't ask the sister just to wear the
hijab when you are weak in the other end
and and your home is not set right to
get get with Huda TV peace TV watch the
dean show things of of benefit because
if you're sitting and watching R-rated
movies you're watching things that have
no benefit you got a whole collection of
DVDs cvds of all the pop stars these
people arein going to help increase your
Iman no bring you down isn't it take you
down take you down so like clean these
things up and and add to this you will
be asked about this time yeah time time
management oh yeah
yeah that's
the there are two bounties regarding
which people the majority of people are
losers once it comes to these two pound
is because they are not utilizing them
well being healthy that because when
you're healthy you you you could do more
stuff and having time at your hand now
we sit in front of the TV for 2 hours 3
hours watching a movie come on you're
going to be asked about this time in the
day of Resurrection Allah will ask you
the
prophet that the feet of the son of Adam
will not move until he's asked about
four things and the other wording five
things about his about his life how did
he spend
it come on yeah we're going to take a
break we'll be right back with more to
conclude here on the de show don't go
anywhere death and the day of judgment
the mercy of Allah these are the things
that finally made me realize there is no
time to delay anymore I want you to take
my sh right
there the essence of spirituality is to
become more sincere to Allah to play
Death itself it is very very scary but
it brings you back to reality there is a
life which is Everlasting in the
Hereafter you have to make a conscious
decision of which group of people do you
want to be of the people of heaven or
the people of hell
W back here on the dean show and we're
answering the sister's question and we
want to help encourage the people so we
can all be in Jenna together and void
the Hellfire and everything that the
creator has told us to do is good for us
isn't it AB cuz some people think man
it's all rigid man it's a bunch of dudes
and dos everything's Haram sh
everything's I can't have no fun now
what do you got to say about this
submission mhm what does it mean
submission submission that you give up
your whims and
desires and listen the religion is so
straightforward about it okay he said
sallallahu alaihi
wasallam this world is the prison of a
believer in the sense of you don't have
your choices are somehow somewhat
limited but you see you don't understand
there is a kickoff you actually find
happiness and joy in that concept when
you jail yourself when you because at
the end of the day you're trying to
please Allah subhana wa ta'ala and like
they say happiness is irrelevant really
it has nothing to do with what you have
it has nothing to do with the person who
smokes I mean weed for example to be
happy for him to be to continue to be
happy he has to smoke more and more and
more and more he has to increase yeah he
has to double up he has to change the
type that but uh submission the more
that you submit the same exact thing the
more that you submit to Allah subhana wa
tala you find pleasure and happiness and
it's good for you isn't it absolutely
tell us can we give an example the
person who wants a master's degree a a
GED a PhD he's submitting to what the
professors told him to do he's studying
he's leaving off party he's sacrificing
because he wants that title so you get
the job make money bankr and then he can
enjoy so aren't we like living a
wholesome good life so at the end we can
get Jenna so we can obey Allah cuz
aren't these good things that now the
woman's out there flaunting herself you
know she's dressing provocative man
ain't going to respect her he's going to
I'm sorry pimp her you know she's going
to be out there you know being
masqueraded a commodity right just for
man's pleasures and at the same time
look you're drinking smoking weed these
things destroy you so the things lying
deceiving everything that Allah the
Creator told us to do those are things
that are good for us and the things that
he told us to stay away from are just
things that aren't good for the for the
human being isn't that right you know I
go back to the hij for the sister you
know as long with shows to cover this is
something very interesting mentioned in
that verse in about
the because you brought this up yes so
when the sister wears the hijab and by
the way the hijab is not the scarf okay
the hijab is Modesty there are seven
conditions for this hijab to exist it
must she must be wearing garments that
is baggy it cannot be of color that gets
attention it cannot mimic tight jeans no
that's not hijab no you see a sister who
places a scarf on and then tie jeans
that's not hijab she's just we she's
just covering her hair yeah no hijab is
a concept that the sister reflected
reflecting modesty modesty yes modesty
she's not getting attention and uh I
want to go back here to to this point
and and say Allah subhana T says so that
they are not known to be that type that
you mentioned that you can bck on yeah
imagine getting on a Metro and you find
a nun you ever entertain the thought of
flirting with a nun you might look but
you don't keep looking right you're not
even going to think about it the same
exact thing for the Sisters for the that
is what is meant so the women cannot be
used as a commodity cannot I'm not
saying that every woman let's be fair
not every woman who dress is this way
she's after that I'm not saying this but
there are wicked people out there and
I'm not saying it's a protection yes
it's a protection it's immunity it's
immunity and she will find pleasure in
this W I'll never forget this answer I
was in a a seminar I'm sorry in a debate
with with non-muslims and we had Muslim
audience and uh one of the people asked
me this
question about how can you force women
in that hot weather it was we were in a
hot in the summer to to dress like this
and I told her yeah I answered her my
best and one of our Muslim sister asked
to to to say something she said exactly
what you said a minute ago the heat of
the Hell Fire is far worse I'd rather do
it here than you know
there come on let's submit to Allah
subhah wa ta'ala this is a requirement
for a Muslim women that's how Allah subh
and and and this has been the way it is
since one of the you know we had this
Yen sister who who got that peace
whatever Noble or some kind of yeah yeah
yeah yeah she remember she made a very
interesting comment and she said come on
guys I mean you talk about the human
race
developing um you know from nudity and
and and now top of the line that they
actually because how they present Adam
and Eve that they were naked and they
were having little things around their
bodies and then they show us in the
movies that when they developed they
started dressed and I reached the top of
the line I reached the
top said that that was the Muslim woman
who won the what she win the Noble Peace
Bo Noble
Peace I Rec call I mean I mean she said
I came to the top now yeah I mean yeah
with the hijab I mean that statement for
non-muslims that's fine I mean to
address non-muslims with that it's fine
but you know for me as a a student of
knowledge I have other ways to present
the hij to but but I think she hit it
right there come on guys you you teach
in your schools that Adam and and his
offspring developed developed developed
and you showed that the top of the line
that they actually got dressed well
guess what I'm covering up yeah and look
at the icon of maram the icon of Jesus's
mother she all had sisters I mean s alhi
wasallam and and and and I want to tell
the sisters this
Muslim that there are two types of
people that I did not see we knew that
the prophet Sall Ali wasallam went and
he saw J and he saw Hell Fire he saw
there are two types of people I did not
see in the D yet in the world yet but I
saw them in the Hell Fire and he
mentioned women
[Music]
walking yes they wearing cloth but they
are not wearing anything yeah an icon of
Temptation come on Muslim sister oh
before we go just we have one minute
left tell us can the sister now start to
okay she's we know she's she's obviously
Five Pillars you got to be doing them
praying five times a day worshiping
Allah alone zakat you know Hajj now for
the hijab can she if she's wearing like
tight jeans okay hijab obviously you
mentioned character okay so it doesn't
matter now you're you're in hijab
smoking you know foul language doesn't
work doesn't work right modesty so now
can she like leave off the jeans and
start like let's say she didn't cuz
people think it's just the covering here
cuz she just start to wear like uh the
loose what is it called you know the
you know from here loose and then start
to work her way up to progress you know
to wearing it she's like timid baby
steps I I don't want to say this because
or just do it you see right now after
the show just put it on alhi wasallam
says this yeah whatever Allah commands
you to do you need to do it do it do it
uh I cannot tell somebody um pray two
times and then three times and four
times I see I see yeah so it's a command
here is the people of the
basis by default when there is a command
in the Quran and the Sunnah it must be
carried out right away yeah as long as
you don't have something an obstacle
that stops you your ability that's the
ruling thank you sh so much thank you
for being with may Allah reward you look
forward to having you back
again and some more great wonderful
advice and for our sisters we love you
but Allah loves you the most he loves
you more than your parents he loves you
more than anyone and he knows what's
best for you so let's work hard in this
life to please our creator before we
meet our creator because death is a
reality and then there's the day of
judgment and then there's the Hellfire
and Paradise so when to be people of
paradise Allah is the most loving and
merciful make Dua to him repent to him
alone no intermediaries we don't need to
go to a confession box we don't need to
pray through anybody direct dialogue we
call on the Creator alone and ask him to
make it easy and commit and believe me
Allah will facilitate a way get up in
the night and pray one tier Allah will
open up doors you couldn't even imagine
because he loves you but do you love him
that's the question if you love him you
got to obey him so let's work hard in
this life so we can be successful in
this life and have Jenna in the next
we'll see you next time here on the dean
show don't forget to pick up the new
dunad and call us at 1 1800 662 Islam to

Muslim everyone has the potential to
submit only to God the one God the same

worship that God call us right now at
this number we'll see you next time
peace be with you
