May the peace blessings and mercy of God
Almighty be upon you all I would like to
invite onto the stage one of the most
exciting speakers we have here at the
peace conference
which is Al from Abu Dhabi in the United
Arab
[Applause]
Emirates just a bit of a background on
the Sal as I mentioned comes from Abu
Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates he
studied in the traditional Islamic
manner among some of his teachers were
the early students of Muhammad n
albani and many
other he completed and graduated with a
double degree in both engineering and
computers and he currently working as an
IT manager for an oil company in the
United Arab
Emirates in sh Allah God willing
today will be talking on the topic of
seven obstacles on the way to enter
J
in
[Music]
alhamdulillah
[Music]
brothers and sisters in Islam our topic
for
today seven obstacles in the way to
Jen as it is
known
to every Muslim or the majority of
us that our real home is
where J
inshallah our father was created in the
Jenna Adam
Alam came down to earth for a test to be
tested and the return
to Allah again to the Jenna so our real
home my dear brothers and sisters is the
jenah by the grace of
Allah so that what should be always in
our
minds going home sweet
home that's the Jenna that is our home
we should be always thinking of our real
home this home
this world is
transient we're not going to stay here
forever but our real home is the J
inshallah
IM he mentioned this
beautifully in one of his
poems there's a famous poem by
IM known as an because it rymes with
at the end he
says
the
meaning hurry
up
come let us race to our
home The Gardens of
bliss
there your first home your first
dwellings and there in we will abide
forever so that is our real home my dear
brothers and sisters the
Jenna so before we speak about the
obstacles we should know about our home
the
Jenna the Jenna which Allah created
already the
Jenna that no one can
imagine what Allah has prepared for us
in the Jenna no one can
imagine simply because the human
imagination Springs from his
observations you cannot imagine
something you did not see through or
not can you imagine something you did
not see no way I want you now to imagine
the Palaces in the Jenna close your eyes
and
imagine what are the pictures coming
what palaces are coming to your mind the
Palaces you have seen
right can you imagine the rivers in the
Jah the rivers you have seen will come
to your memory that means
we cannot imagine something we did not
see and the Jen no one has seen so we
cannot imagine it so when you are
reading the Quran and you read about
milk honey wine only the name is common
but the reality is totally different so
what is there is
different that's why in the Hadith Allah
says I have prepared for my servants
what no eye has ever
seen no ear has ever heard of so what is
in the Jen it is something beyond our
comprehension the Palaces in the Jenna
are made of one brick gold another brick
is silver can you imagine the Palaces in
the Jenna one brick is gold another
brick is silver that's how the balles
are made in the
Jenna and this this Palace you can build
it by
reading 10
times if you read 10 times as in the
authentic Hadith a palace will be built
for you in the
Jenna the trees in the
jenah prophet Muhammad sallallah Ali
wasallam says in the authentic Hadith
that the fastest horse will be running
in the shade of the tree 100
years 100 years and this fasted source
is running in the shade of this tree and
the trunk of the trees made of gold the
Palaces in the Jenna the rivers they
flow from
underneath while you are in your
bedroom and rivers of wine honey milk
everything within
reach fruits within reach you want that
grape the cluster will come down to you
you eat then the cluster will go up
again
and the most important thing in the
Jenna what is the most important thing
the most pleasurable thing enjoyable
thing in the Jenna what is
it seeing Allah seeing
Allah there is a day in the jenah where
all the people of jenah all the
inhabitants of jna they get together in
a
place the Market of jenah and Allah
appears to all of
them and they look at Allah and he
speaks to every
individual faces will be bright
illuminated because of the im looking at
Allah that's the most enjoyable thing we
will meet there insh by his
grace a mean so that's the most
important thing to see your lord in the
Jenna and you see your brothers there
and then after that Gathering Allah says
now you can go to the market take
whatever you want and go to your homes
to your palaces to your
wives and the moment their wives receive
them they would say
mashallah mashallah you are more
handsome than when you
left now you are more handsome than when
you left us in in the morning whatever
and the men would say by Allah you are
more beautiful than when we left so what
increased their beauty seeing
Allah looking at the face of Allah
subhanahu so that is our real home
having said this
my dear brothers and
sisters the enemy The Real Enemy the
Shan doesn't want us to reach our
destination Shan was driven out of the
Jenna
right so he doesn't want you to go back
to your
home he wants you to be with him to be
with him in the blazing
fire in Janam he doesn't want to be
alone he wants
company Allah
says verily and most certainly he calls
his followers his party to be with
him in the blaze in Janam he doesn't
want to be
alone so that's why he Works Around the
Clock Shan does not spare
time very
active has many many tricks to fool us
because he doesn't want to be
alone he wants to take
portion
portion of the children of Adam may
Allah save us from his tricks am me and
this portion is the greatest
portion the majority of the children of
Adam are destined to
Hell Prophet Muhammad
s wasallam say sallallah alaihi
wasallam whenever the name of the
Prophet Sall wasallam is mentioned you
say s. wasallam otherwise you are
sinful and you
are stingy so inshallah you are not
okay
so Prophet Muhammad s
wasam he said
Allah will ask on the day of judgment
Adam imagine all of us are standing in
front of our father Adam alisam all the
humanity and Allah will
say
those who are destined for hell from
among your children guess what from
every
999 to the Hellfire from every
1,999 to
jahanam so the
majority of mankind are going to hell
and if you read in the Quran you will
never find Allah praising
majorities Allah prais minorities so the
majority among the children of Adam will
go to Hell Fire why because they listen
to their
enemy El the Satan they followed their
own whims and
desires Allah has given them the free
will to choose Allah guided
everyone
and we have showed him the two paths
Allah says we have showed man the two
ways the way of good and the way of
evil and it is up to you to choose to
make your mind you hear the aan you can
go to the Masid or you can carry on
sleeping you heit the Adan you can come
to the Masid or go to the discotek it is
your choice no no one will force you no
one will compel you to come to the
Masjid so you
decided to take the other way so in that
day you blame no one but yourself are
you following brothers and sisters is it
clear
okay so this enemy will not leave you
alone he's working he has set and placed
in your way to the jenah seven
obstacles seven
traps what are they write them down
number one sh associating partners with
Allah number
two
innovations Innovations number three
major
sins in Arabic major sins
number four minor sins minor
sins number five the Halal Halal is one
of the traps of thean by the way okay
number
six giving more priority to the least
rewardable over the most rewardable in
other words the least rewardable deed
has more p Ence over the most rewardable
deed this needs
explanation just write it down the
seventh
obstacle the Obstacle of direct
confrontation with the
shatan direct
confrontation IM said this
is wrestling station there you will be
wrestling with El
if time permits we'll cover all of them
if not question
time ask me so we can mention them all
right inah first one shik what is sh
before we explain shik we need to know
the antithesis the opposite of sh what's
the opposite of
Shah so the opposite of shik is
the so if you you know the then you will
know the the sh if you don't know theed
how can you know the sh true or not okay
so theed is to single out Allah with all
your Deeds all our Deeds should be for
whom for Allah our prayer for
whom our fast
our for Allah our
sacrifice for whom Allah in
okay very we have giving you the
fountain so pray for your lord and off
your sacrifices to whom to Allah all my
should be for Allah how about
ta
is circulating the house of Allah the it
is
right or not okay it is it's an act of
worship Allah
[Music]
says and let them
cumulate the ancient
house so the should be done only around
the so for Allah subhanahu waala only
Allah worship no one but
Allah so the first trap is the
sh you will not be able to escape and
overcome this barrier or obstacle
without knowing theed so that's why you
have to study
theed in order to avoid the
sh because if you fall into the tribe of
shik you will never never enter the
Jenna
who said that
[Music]
Allah whoever Associates with Allah any
partner
whoever Associates with Allah any
partner this means an article
means an article of shity which means
most
certainly the J Paradise Garden is
prohibited for him he will never smell
the fragrance of the
Jenna and his
abod his place and Janam the
fire and for the wrongdoers there will
not be anyone to
help wrongdoers means mush in another
place Allah
says we Muslims believe that the only
sin which is unforgivable there is
unforgivable sin is the so the sh is the
only sin that Allah will not forgive
anything el else Allah
forgives adultery Allah forgives
fornication Allah forgives stealing
Allah forgives killing Allah forgives
anything Allah forgives but the shik if
you die upon shik Allah will not forgive
it but he forgives even the shik if you
repent before you
die if you make TBA before you die Allah
will also forgive
you so the
sh is tribe number one how to overcome
it you need to know
the and the shik has many levels or many
aspects or
types number one what we call
itar major sh this is Major sh it takes
the person out of Islam you become mad
upstate
major sh and that is to offer the the
worship to anyone other than Allah you
pray to other than Allah you ask other
than
Allah so the major sh that you offer
active worship to other than Allah that
is Major sh this takes a person out of
Islam there is another type which is not
major a person who commits or
perpetrates this sin minor shik that
this will not take him out of Islam like
what you know fortune tellers magicians
soothsayers
palmists
psychics so to go to such people and ask
them for something and you believe them
if you believe them Prophet Muhammad sah
alaihi wasallam said then that makes you
a disbeliever you disbelieve in the
Quran
if you believe in what they are
saying and if you just go for just the
sake of
inquisitiveness your prayers will not be
accepted for 40 days 40 40 days your
prayers will not be accepted we don't
believe in horoscopes the horoscopes
your day with the Stars what is your
star a Muslim should not read that stuff
and should not believe why because that
goes
against the fundamentals of Islam
because who knows the Unseen Allah only
so the knowledge of the Unseen belongs
to whom to Allah no one knows what is
going to happen tomorrow no one no one
so that's why we don't go to divers
susers fortune tellers Etc or another
example for this minor shik is swearing
by other than
Allah you swear some people they
swear by their honor by their
dignity by among the Arabs I swear by
the head of my child okay Sometimes some
people they swear by the prophet among
the Arabs this is I don't know if you
have this in your area do you say that
okay they swear by the name of the
Prophet they
say I swear by the
prophet so this is minor shik and it can
be major shik depending on the
situation the third type of
shik is hidden shik hidden inconspicuous
inconspicuous shik something very very
subtle something very hard to feel and
that is
what showing off is the to do things not
for the sake of Allah you do things for
showing off
mashallah your speech wonderful you
really drive the masses you really make
us feel happy you really you really and
you
feel feel happy about yourself and your
head grows and you start also to believe
yourself that you are a Sheikh and you
are Imam are you following let us come
down to earth IM
Malik IM
Malik IM dar
a delegation came from Spain and Delia
with a list of questions and they asked
Imam Malik every time they ask him I
don't know it I don't know it I don't
know it I don't know it and he answered
only a few questions they said oh Imam
what should we tell the people in
Andalusia we traveled and covered all
this distance Imam Malik said tell them
Malik doesn't know
no problem it's not a big deal that is
the fear of Allah that's the
real the real is to fear
Allah that you know before you give the
fatwa you are
signing on behalf of
Allah he compiled a book
called The Towering and Pioneer The
Towering figures who signed on behalf of
Allah he meant the scholars the the sah
when someone comes to ask him a fatwa he
will say go and ask my
brother they try to
escape and avoid the fatwa then the the
second will do the same thing the third
the fourth until it comes back to the
first
why are we more knowledgeable than the
sahaba
no but the fear of
so let us be
practical I remember I will not mention
a name a brother reverted to Islam and
this is a sickness among the Muslims by
the way the moment someone reverts to
Islam if he is for instance was a
professor or something or a writer of
some books or he is a freeth thinker or
whatever immediately we make him Imam
true or not
and we take him touring the country in
our platforms addressing the Muslims
when the poor guy doesn't know the
basics of Islam and then we ask him
questions and the guy doesn't know so
this brother who became a
Muslim happened to be a communist before
he has doctorate in
philosophy and he started talking about
Islam but he was making was making
blunders and mistakes so in one of the
conferences the scholars they ask him
100 question the scholars listed down
100 questions for him and he could not
answer them so they told him listen when
you became a Muslim we like that too
much alhamdulillah but you have to bear
in mind that you have to start
from the
alphabets from kg1 kindergarten and
that's how you have to learn Islam don't
expect that you become a scholar also in
Islam when you don't know Islam so let
us understand our Dean and the basics of
Islam so this is the first TR which is
the shik and you can only avoid falling
into the trab of sh if you know the
second trap is the what is the
definition of
b before
I quote the definition of b I ask simple
question see this glass of water is not
full right always remember this example
can I add more water to
it can I can I or not okay but if it is
full can I
add because it is complete
right so what accepts addition the
complete or the incomplete the
incomplete accepts additions now is our
Dean complete or incomplete are you sure
H good Allah says in the
Quran today I have completed your dean
and completed my favor upon you and I
have chosen Al Islam as a religion and
the dean and the way of life for you so
if the dean my dear brothers and sisters
is complete will it accept
additions
no so anything added to the dean is not
acceptable simply because the dean is
what
complete so all the Innovations are
unacceptable in Islam anything added to
the dean is
rejected because the dean is
complete that's why Prophet Muhammad
sahi wasallam said
said whoever innovates and invents in
our Dean in our matter anything it will
not be accepted it will be rejected
because the de has been
completed have you heard this
word have you heard it before good
Innovation
good they say but this is
good what made it good number one number
two if it is good that means the dean is
in need of
it if the dean is in need of it that
means the dean is incomplete are you
following if the dean accepts
innovations that means the dean is
incomplete and if the dean is
incomplete Allah says it is
complete so which one should we follow
what Allah say is so the dean my dear
brothers and sisters should remain as it
is as it was 1400 years
ago never add anything don't put your
own words don't put your own ideas don't
do that keep this Dean and maintain this
Dean in it is
pristine
form and it is original form don't add
to it
otherwise we will be like those who
preceded us so the dean has been
completed that's why there is no room
for B in the dean so what is
B what is the definition of b the
definition of b it is an invented method
it is an invented method or way in the
Dean this is the key word in the
dean that is not supported by an
Evidence explicit evidence either in the
Quran or in the authentic traditions of
the Prophet Salli wasall so anything in
the dean that is not approved of either
by theab or the Sunnah it is you find B
in the
Salah one of the students of knowledge
he compiled a book book this size
volume guess what what's the name of the
book The Mistakes the people the mus the
praying people make one volume full of
mistakes so the bid are
everywhere people are doing
bid why because they don't know the
Sunnah you can only avoid B if you know
the Sunnah if you don't don't know the
Sunnah you will fall into the bid
naturally and when you leave the Sunnah
you fall into the
B for instance people they have deserted
theah of you know when a child is born
on the seventh day you slaughter a sheep
or goat two for the boy one for the girl
and you shave the head of the
baby and you weigh it and you give sodak
that is Sunnah people they have deserted
that and they have replaced the with
what birthday party so after one year we
celebrate happy birthday to you
right that's what we do so when you live
a
Sunnah a bid takes over when you live
the Sunnah replaces
it and I want you to know my dear
brothers the Sunnah of the Prophet Sall
alaihi wasallam so that you will
differentiate between the B and the
Sunnah Sunnah of the Prophet Sall Ali
wasallam are four times Ty write them
down four types the saying of the
Prophet sallam this
is the actions of the Prophet Salli
wasallam the
third the approvals of the Prophet Sall
alhi
wasallam number
four which means the things the prophet
Sall wasallam did not do in spite of the
need in spite of the
need so the first one is clear saying
theth of the Prophet Sall wasallam
actions the things the prophet Sall
wasallam did pray as you have seen me
praying these are actions approvals
something happened in front of him and
he kept quiet that means it is what
permissible or impermissible permissible
otherwise he could not keep quiet
he would have corrected for instance
always you'll find in the books the
scholars always give this example always
you know there is an animal reptile
lives in Arabia
called which is lizard you know the
lizard big size so the Arabs they eat it
so it was brought to the prophet sallam
and it was
cooked and the prophet sallam was about
to touch it
and it was the habit of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi
wasallam to ask always about the
food but that day he was he didn't ask
and he started touching the the meat
they told him oh prophet of Allah this
is so he left it he didn't eat so
immediately he asked KH immediately he
asked is it haram or prophet of Allah he
said no it's not Haram so KH took it he
said I dragged the plate I took the
plate and I started eating it and the
prophet Sall wasallam was watching me
this proves what is halal
Oram Halal another example of his
approvals as in
Hadith were practicing kous interrupt us
when the Quran was coming down which
means had the kous interrupt us unlawful
Allah would have revealed something
regarding that are you following now I
conclude people they rais the question
the microphone is
B electricity is B cars
are these are good Innovations how you
you can now say this is Haram we go back
to the definition the which is Haram in
the or in the
de tell me in the
de in the D we want you to make B we
want you to make microphones we want you
to make cards all
Muslims but the dean leave it but the
Muslims they left the dya for the kufar
and the dean where Allah told them don't
touch it they started making their own
new Dean the opposite the opposite
exactly Prophet Muhammad s alaihi
wasallam when he reached
Medina the people of Medina they were
farmers and they were pollinating
pollinating the palm
trees so they asked the prophet should
we pollinate the palm trees this year he
said no and the produce the fruit became
very bad bad quality they came and said
you said don't
he said we prophets of Allah were sent
not to teach you how to run your Mandan
life you are the expert as long as you
do it within the framework of the Shar
may Allah increase our knowledge in the
dean and may Allah guide all the Muslims
to the straight path a mean and may
Allah reward all of you brothers and
sisters for your patience and
attendance
may Allah reward
you we are going to have questions and
answers just a brief run through we have
one mic here at the front of the
auditorium we have one other which is
just behind it and we have one for the
sisters inshallah please keep your
question very brief because we want to
facilitate the as much questions to be
asked in a limited time as well if there
are any non-muslims we would like to
give first preference of asking
questions to the non-muslims and finally
we will begin with the front mic going
to the second then to the sisters in a
clockwise rotation so we will begin with
the first question from the brother here
go ahead brother
Alum I and I'm a business management
student so my question regarding the
seven obstacles for entering Jenna is
with the seventh one direct
confrontation with Shan so Shan being
intangible we can't see him so how can
it be a direct confrontation okay the
direct confrontation here it is
metaphoric means that the Shan will use
all his efforts you know what brother
you overcome the first the second how
many stations you crossed six so what
remained only one station one trap and
you will enter what the Jenna so here
the Shan will not spare any efforts he
will try all his best to harm you
that's why IM called it this is the
wrestling that means you will face all
types of afflictions all types of Trials
you might be
killed you might be
imprisoned you will face troubles
everywhere tribulations everywhere
because this is the way you are almost
there approaching the Jenna reaching the
Jenna so the Shan will not leave you
alone so this is the most difficult one
okay that's why it's called you are
struggling with you are not struggling
with all the human gin around you and
human Devils around you Etc next
question from the sisters inshah
assalamu alaykum allum brother my name
is ruina and I'm a teacher my question
is you spoke about palster and fortune
telling my question is if someone has
done black magic on me and I want to
undo it am I permitted to do so and if
not then what should I do are you
permitted to do so what means by so
doing what undoing black magic someone
else has done on me yeah by going to the
susers no by reading quranic aah
alhamdulillah that is the cure that's
the remedy see this cure is the remedy
the Quran is the remedy so if someone is
affected by the Black Magic you reading
yourself that's why prevention is better
than cure as a matter of fact Prophet
Muhammad sallallah alhi wasallam he
taught us that every night before you go
to sleep you take wo and before you
sleep you collect your hands like this
and you blow and you
read and you wipe and you start from the
end of the
neck okay the upper part of the neck and
you bring your hands like this and you
wipe your body three times this is a
protection this is a protection and you
do this even for your children and you
read
you read
what and you read the end
of bak and you
read so then you will be protected from
the
evils and the prophet s wasallam used to
read on alassan and Al Hussein as
children used to read in
them so read in yourself and and your
children inshallah may Allah protect our
children and your children a mean
assalamu alaykum I'm Aliyah Khan and I'm
a student of
psychology it is said in the Quran did
you not see the one who took his desires
as his God so following your desires
what type of shik is it does it come
under hidden sh or minor sh it depends
on the magnitude of the
desire okay it can be major sh it can be
minor it can be hidden the hidden always
I want you to to memorize this Dua I
elaborate a little bit here the hidden
one you memorize this Dua this is the
cure for it Allah and I recommend that
every Muslim should obtain the copy of
Muslim The Fortress of the Muslim so
memorize
the so memorize this inshallah the
desire can be major sh what stop Abu
from accepting
Islam his own
desire what prevented Abu jahal his own
desire what prevented his own desire so
your desire became your God
your so that's why your desire should
comply with the commands of
God your desire should comply with the
instructions of Allah subhana wa ta'ala
so if your desire tells you do this and
your lord commands you to do this follow
what your Lord says and disobey your
desires so depends that's why it is sh
following the desire is sh it is is
another God that's why Prophet Muhammad
wasallam said in
the the meaning W to him the worshiper
of the Dirham the worshiper of the din
the worship of Thea which is piece of
cloth type of textile garment or things
like that and what to him the worshiper
May when he is picked by a thorn that
thorn May remain in his body forever
have you seen a worshipper of Dirham and
din have you seen a person worshiping
the dollar and the pound and the Euro
putting it on prating no what does it
mean worship ofam that the motivation
what reoccupy him his deity what he
thinks about it day and night is only
money money so money is his God
irrespective whether it is halal or
Haram so many people they are
worshippers for the money worshippers
for the false deities may Allah Asel
increase our knowledge in the dean and
protect us from all the deceptions and
tricks of the cursed one and may Allah
guide all of us and may Allah keep us
steadfast upon the dean and
a
