In English, there is a saying which says that it’s a sign of intelligence.
It’s a sign of intelligence to be able to hold two opposing ideas in your mind simultaneously.
It’s a sign of intelligence to be able to hold two opposing ideas, two opposite sides,
in your mind simultaneously.
And I want to say to you and myself that it’s a sign of hypocrisy, of nifak,
to be able to hold two opposing beliefs in your heart simultaneously.
It’s a sign of nifak, it’s a sign of hypocrisy,
to be able to hold two opposing beliefs in your heart simultaneously.
The reason I say that is because today we seem to live in a world
where for everything that we do in our life,
we know and we believe.
That anything related to that is connected.
For example, take health.
We all know and we believe that if I want to have good health,
then I must watch my diet.
I can’t eat anything I like.
I must eat the right kind of food.
I must watch my physical exercise.
I need to do that.
I can’t just sit in a chair all day.
I must do some physical exercise.
And I must watch any medication that I need to take.
I must take that on time.
According to my diet.
According to the dose prescribed by the doctor.
And I must also watch my life to say,
is my life full of stress or something is happening there.
All are connected.
Right?
Yes or no?
If somebody says, you know, forget about the…
Look man, I like to eat a lot of sugar and I like to eat nice fried stuff.
And that’s where the taste is.
So I’m going to eat all that.
I’ll eat all the sugar.
I’ll eat all the fried stuff.
I’ll eat all the cakes and the puddings and the stuff.
But…
But…
I’ve got high cholesterol.
I’ve got diabetes.
But, you know, just give me medicines.
Instead of one, give me two.
Instead of two, give me four.
You think it works?
I say, no, no.
I will eat all the food.
Forget exercise.
It’s just too much trouble.
I have too much time, too much trouble, too much pain.
I won’t do it.
Will it work?
And if somebody has this argument and if he tells you…
So, I mean, I’m doing something, you know.
I’m not saying I won’t take medicine.
I’m taking medicine.
I’m also exercising.
So what if I eat a whole cheesecake?
What will you say to him?
You will say, brother, listen.
You either do the whole thing or it doesn’t work.
You can’t take a piece from here that you like
and the piece from here you don’t like
and you say, because I like…
No, it doesn’t work like that.
It’s…
The whole body is connected.
The mind is connected.
The stomach is connected.
The…
The…
The…
The blood flow is connected.
The muscles are connected.
Psychologically, it’s connected.
So you have to take care of all of that.
Yes?
Similarly, you drive a car.
And this car is an…
I’ll only put gas.
He said, brother, you’ve been driving that car for 10,000 miles.
That thing needed an oil change at 5,000 miles.
You already doubled the mileage for the oil change.
Please, go and change the oil.
No, no, no.
Rubbish.
I’m putting gas.
I’m driving.
Okay, do that.
One day in the middle of the highway, it’ll cease.
The point I want to make is we have this logic for everything, right?
Take education.
You take anything in life.
Anything in life.
Take education.
Take anything.
You will…
You have this logic and this is correct logic
that if you want to succeed,
you have to do everything because it is all connected.
Now, my question is,
what happens to this logic when it comes to deal?
What happens to this logic when it comes to…
When it comes to Islam?
Allah said,
Tawheed, first of all, worship only Allah and nobody else.
Don’t join partners with Allah.
Allah said,
Risalat, follow Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
Itaat wa ittiba,
not itaat or ittiba.
Obey him and emulate him.
Both are required.
Yes, itaat wa ittiba.
Both are required.
Then, earn halal.
Eat halal.
Yes?
Then, faraid.
Make sure you fulfill all the faraid.
What do you say?
No, no, no.
Hold on a second.
I mean, it’s like all this is too much.
Right?
So, what I will do is,
okay, shirk I won’t do.
I won’t go and worship an idol.
I will not go and stand before a khabar
and say, yeah, fulan bin fulan, give me a chai.
I won’t do all that.
That’s fine.
But, you know, this whole issue of paying five times a day
on time and in jama and so on,
like too much.
I mean, this is…
So, I will pray when I can pray.
And Ramadan?
You know, I am on this.
I am playing this game
and I need to go to the gym every day.
I can’t do…
I can’t fast.
So, I am not going to fast
because it’s too much stress.
And earning halal…
Come on, I mean, we live in America, right?
Everyone is doing it.
So, what’s halal?
What about zakat?
No, no, we are paying tax.
In America, paying tax is equal to zakat.
No need to pay zakat.
Very nice.
What about not dealing in interest?
Oh, it’s my first house.
I can borrow and mortgage
and I can do that.
I can build my first house.
But tarawi, I will come.
I will pray 20 times.
And then I will create a fitna about
sighting the moon, not sighting the moon.
Modern times,
we have calendars.
We have astronomical calculations.
The problem is people don’t even…
don’t even read history.
We’ve had calendars and astronomical calculations
for the last 3,000 years.
Nothing modern about it.
And then we wonder,
why is it we make dua
in tarawi, in khiyam, in sujood,
in the hatim, in the Kaaba,
we make dua in Arafat,
we make dua in Masjid-e-Nabawi Sharif.
No effect.
No effect.
Tell me seriously,
have things improved or become worse
in the last five years?
Up or down, which one?
Globally, worse, right?
Worse.
Every place you take,
things have gone bad.
Things have gone down.
Things have got worse.
With the Muslims,
things have got worse.
We should ask, you know, why?
Why is it that Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala
has put musallat alayna,
put on top of us,
people who are the end of the world,
people who are the end of the world,
people who are the end of the world,
they are sworn enemies of Allah.
But Allah has given them control.
We know that everything happens
not because Allah can’t control,
Allah is controlling.
Why is it happening?
Where is our dua?
Why is our dua not being accepted?
Where is the barakah in our lives?
My submission to you, brothers and sisters,
same logic,
the same logic we apply for health,
same logic we apply for education,
same logic we apply,
for our cars, our machines,
our factories, our offices,
our businesses.
Please apply the same logic for the deen.
You want the benefit,
you have to do everything.
You can’t take a piece from here,
piece from there.
It doesn’t work.
And it’s not my…
Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said this
in the Quran al-Karim.
In Surah al-Baqarah, Allah said what?
أَفَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْدِ الْكِتَابِ
وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْدِ
Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said,
I will be going to be those
who take something from the book
and you leave out the rest.
I like this, I take it.
I don’t like this, now khalas.
Ya Bibi, that also is the
kalam of Allah.
Right?
ما فرق بين هذه الآية
و بين هذه الآية?
ما فرق?
ما فرق?
إليس فرق?
سوى.
ولكن,
I like this, I don’t like this.
So your nafs now,
you are the
worshipping your nafs.
عبد النفس.
ليس عبد الله.
And for that Allah said what?
ها!
أرأيت من اتخذ إلهه هو
سبحان الله تعالى
See the kalam of Allah
إلهه هو
And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala
told Abu Salim
do not intercede for them.
أفعنت تكونوا عليه وكلا؟
لا.
And then Allah said,
those who do this,
أفتؤمنون ببعض الكتاب وتكفرون ببعض
فمن يفعل ذلك منكم
إلا خزي في الحياة الدنيا
ويوم القيامة يردون إلى
أشد الأذاب
فما الله غافر لما تعملون
Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said,
are you going to be those
who take something from the book
from here, you like,
you leave the rest?
Allah said,
what is the reward for those?
جزاء
See the word جزاء
is used in a sarcastic way.
Allah did not say سزاء
Allah did not say عذاب
Allah said جزاء
What is the جزاء for such people?
What is the reward for such people?
They will have
Allah said خزي في الحياة الدنيا
Allah said I will make their life
very difficult in this world.
خزي في الحياة الدنيا
Life will become miserable
in this world.
Prophet said
a time will come
when a man will stand
in front of the maghwara
and he will say
I wish I was there
in that cover
instead of the person there.
Right?
And then
it doesn’t end with that.
It’s not as if
خزي في الحياة الدنيا
then all my
No, no, no.
On the day of judgment
إلى أشد الأذاب
not any normal azab
this is the worst
of the punishment
the most severe punishment
for these people.
For whom?
For whom?
For the polytheists?
For the disbelievers?
No.
For those who say
they are Muslim
but they will pick
and choose
from the word of Allah
because this is the sign
of khibr.
This is the sign
of the worst takabbur
that a person takes
the kalam of Allah
and says
I will take this
I will not take this.
I like this
I don’t like this
which means that
you are saying
that you
are even more important
than Allah.
You are more important
than the word
is even more important
than the word of
than the kalam of Allah.
Then why no Iman?
Where is the Iman?
So I remind myself
and you please
let us straighten our act.
Right?
Let us straighten our act.
Awal al-Ala al-Hadrami
R.A. who was sent
as the general
to Bahrain.
To collect tax from there.
Now Bahrain was that side
was also to conquer
because that was a Persian
you know possession.
So they went to the end of
somewhere now where
you have Dhammam
you know where the bridge is.
Now they have bridge between
Dhammam and MRA.
So they went there
and then now there is no bridge.
So always there is a sea.
So Awal al-Ala al-Hadrami
R.A. what does he say?
He tells his troops
he says dismount.
So they dismount.
He says who among you
if anybody has committed a
Kabira?
Any major sin
make istighfar and tawba now.
So leaving a fourth salah is Kabira?
Telling a lie is Kabira?
So whatever they read
they did that.
Then he said,
pray to Raka Tosa.
They pray to Raka Tosa.
Then he said mount.
Because what the Poetians did was
they said take all the boats
to our side.
No boats they can’t cross the sea.
So he said mount.
They mounted.
He said ride
into the sea.
And they rowed.
And the Muraqin
the historians say
that the water of the sea
did not come above the
hoof of the horse.
So the horses rowed on the water.
The horses ran on the water.
The Persians they saw the Muslims
coming and they ran away.
They said these are Jinns.
This is not human beings.
How can they ride on the water?
There are the whole army
disappeared there.
They all ran away.
How does it happen?
Because you first establish your
itaat to Allah
Subhanahu wa ta’ala
on the way of Muhammad
Sallallahu Alaihi
wa Alaihi wasallam.
Then you call for the help of Allah
and Allah will help.
Because Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala
promised
Inna Allaha ma’al ladheena taqaw
wa allatheena hum muhsinooh
This is the Wa’ada of Allah
Subhanahu wa ta’ala.
Allah’s Wa’ada is
Laa tukhlifu almiyaad
Allah does not go against His Wa’ada.
Allah said Allah is with the people of Taqwa.
Allah is with the people of Ihsan.
But we have to be people of Taqwa and Ihsan.
Why?
Aina?
For us.
Ma’ana?
Aina Ihsan?
Aina Taqwa?
So if we don’t have Taqwa and Ihsan
How will we get the help of Allah?
So I remind myself in you please
let us get our act clean.
Forget everybody else.
Take your own life.
Look at it.
Any disobedience of Allah
no matter how small or big.
There’s no small and big.
Allahu Akbar.
So disobedience of Allah is big.
Any disobedience remove it from your life.
Don’t worry about anybody.
Please understand there’s a difference between
Fatwa and Hukum.
This is another big fitna
because we don’t learn the deen systematically.
We don’t understand this.
We say no no no but so and so said this.
So and so gave a Fatwa.
Please understand.
Hukum is the law.
Fatwa is the opinion of somebody about the law.
The Fatwa does not change the Hukum.
The Hukum is the Hukum.
Allah made interest-based dealings Haram.
That is the Hukum of Allah.
If every Mufti on the face of the planet
comes together and gives a Fatwa to say
interest-based dealings are halal
they will not become halal.
So don’t say this one said makes no difference.
And if you have people who are saying these things
don’t sit in those Majalis.
Because if you sit in the Majalis
Allah SWT has said I will count you with them.
You want the ayat reference?
Come to me.
I’ll give you the ayat reference.
Go check the ayat reference.
I’m not speaking without dalil.
I’ll give you the dalil of the ayat.
Allah SWT said if you are sitting
when people are making fun about Allah and His Rasool
and about the deen and you sit with them
Allah said you are with them.
Don’t sit with them.
Anybody who speaks against the Kitab of Allah
and against the Sunnah of the Prophet
run away.
You’re imitating them.
You’re imitating exactly.
Run away.
Don’t sit with them.
Do not even listen.
Don’t even argue.
Just go away.
Say Salam alaikum.
Do not restrain yourself.
Nasir beinaye hi hasостоom
Do not forget.
We ask you this into your hearts.
You have to be and remember.
You have to be the one
you are looking for finding that
you feel worthy by saying
I am the one who is worthy of everything
in life.
I am the one who is worthy
for this mon AirPods.
mascul knob.
There is no religion.
There is no language.
It is absolutely there are thousands of translations.
He sent this religion through the best of his creation, Muhammad Rasulullah .
The Kitab of this religion is the speech of Allah. It is a sign of Allah. It is not a created thing.
So Allah, may Allah bless our Sheikh, Sheikh Yunus Al-Gharbi. Hafiz Allah.
May Allah fill his life with khair and barakah and noor and make the kalam of Allah
his Hafiz. InshaAllah. This is the kalam of Allah. Allah swt’s kalam makes whatever it touches, it elevates.
This is what we have. Don’t spoil it. Don’t listen to people who make this kalam seem to be,
yeah, yeah, this is true, but my opinion, innalillahi wa innal najir.
Ask Allah swt to fill our hearts with his khashiyah. Ask Allah to fill our hearts with his khashiyah.
Ask Allah to make us aware that he is with us. Innallaha ma’ana.
But remember, who said, innallaha ma’ana? To whom?
Before we say this thing, you say, no, no, don’t be afraid, just say, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Who said, innallaha ma’ana? Muhammad Rasulullah , to whom?
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.
Right? I know that you and I will never become the level of that.
Abuagt sharah O virtually, not Prince of al-Arbi Shout out to him with his
ask him, but at least sign.
Let us sign.
Let us sign. Do we ask Allah for forgiveness. We ask Allah Almighty to
fill our heart with his khashiyah. We ask Allah to fill our lives with his
Noor and he his Baraka well. We ask Allah to Make us mutawa in the
spirit true in every aspect of our lives. We ask.
to accept our duas, to forgive our sins
and not to punish others because of our sins.
We ask Allah to help us and to help us
in ways that we cannot imagine.
