All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
To Him is all praise, all good, and all praise is due to the Most Beautiful. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and peace and blessings be upon him and his family and his companions, and those who follow them in good faith until the Day of Judgment.
I want to say to you guys, nasiha inshallah, and I ask Allah to make me from the first to benefit from it. Brothers, we are living in a time of fitan, trials and tribulations. We're living in times of fitan, times of trials and tribulations.
And this time we're seeing Muslims who are weak in their iman, who are sick-hearted, and even hypocrites. At this particular time, we see them falling. Allah tells us in the Quran, وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ There are those people who worship Allah on the edge, on the side.
فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ خَيْرٌ إِطْمَأَنَّ بِهِ
If good comes his way, he's tranquil, he's happy, he doesn't question Allah, he says Islam is the religion for me. فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ خَيْرٌ إِطْمَأَنَّ بِهِ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ إِنْ قَلَبَ عَلَى وَجِهِ But when he's afflicted with fitna, trials and tribulations, what happens? إِنْ قَلَبَ He falls on his hill, Allah then says خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ He's lost in this world and he's also lost in the hereafter. In another verse, Allah tells us in Surah Al-Ankabut وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ There are from the people, those people who worship Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى And if they are put through calamities and hardship, if they are thrown into it فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ Fitna, trials, tribulations, they go through it فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللَّهِ They might make that trial and tribulation the cause of their deviation So Fitna is what I want to talk to you And the Prophet ﷺ told us 1400 something years ago That is going to come, he said إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَي سَاعَةٍ Before the hour there is فِتَنًا كَقِطْعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ There is going to come trials and tribulations This is what this trial and tribulation is going to be like يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا The believer will wake up in the morning And in the evening he is a believer In the morning he wakes up he is a believer And in the evening he is a disbeliever Or in the evening he is a believer And in the morning he is a disbeliever What has he done? He has sold his religion for a portion of this Dunya يَبِيعُ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا It's like the people وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ أَمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذَا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَالَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ جَعَذَا بِاللَّهِ That's these people They sell the world They sell what?
They sell their religion for a portion of this world Also the Prophet told us There's going to come a time Where the fitna is going to be so bad So tough The Prophet he said وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ I swear by the Lord My soul is in his hand الله سبحانه وتعالى لَا تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا This world will not go حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ Until a man goes by عَلَى قَبْرٍ He goes by a grave فَيَتَ مَرَّغُ عَلَيْهِ And he scuffles over that grave And then he says يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ مَكَانَهُ I wish I was in the place of this person in this grave I wish And he's going to wish to leave this world The fitna is going to become that much Now my brothers and sisters What are the fitnas that we're going to see? Is what I want to mention What are the causes for it? And as I'm mentioning the causes I'm going to mention the solution with it Inshallah From the fitna that we are seeing Is people expelling each other out of Islam A person is expelling the people out of Islam And he's taking them out And saying Fulan is not a Muslim, he's a kafir Fulan is a fitna The Prophet told us أَيُّ مَا رَجُلٍ أَمَا أَيُّ مَا رَجُلٍ Any man قَالَ لِأَخِي He says to his brother يَا كَافِر He says to him, you're a kafir فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِهَا أَحَدُهُمَا This is going to come back to one of you Either the person that you said kafir about Is really a kafir Or it's going to come back to you And on social media You see that Kafir kafir Everybody This person is calling him kafir You think I'm a kafir Guess what You're a three star kafir وَهَكَذَا They're throwing these labels at each other Fitna It's a fitna wallah Time of fitna Number two القَتْلُ Killing You put on the news today And you look at it And you see the killing That the Muslims This country, Muslims are fighting each other This country, Muslims are fighting each other Muslims are killing each other From the signs of the hour The Prophet he said إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَي السَّاعَةِ Before the hour is al harju Al harju is said to be an Abyssinian word It's a lafdun habashi The word al harju It's a lafdun habashi And it means al qatlu It means al qatlu The Prophet ﷺ he said إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَي السَّاعَةِ Before the hour there's al harju The sahabas of course they said وَمَا الْحَرْجُ And he said al qatlu And then the Prophet ﷺ explained it He said إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِقَاتِلِكُمُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ It's not you killing the disbelievers وَلَكِن قَتْلُ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضًا You're going to kill one another Muslims killing Muslims حَتَّى يَقْتُلَ Until a person kills جَارَهُ His neighbor that he's known all his life Who grew up together Neighbors and people will be killing each other That knew each other A person will be going to the house of his neighbor And killing his neighbor وَيَقْتُلُ أَخَاهُ A person is going to kill his brother His own brother Why is he going to kill his brother? Because they share the same mom But not the same dad So they're from two different tribes They kill each other This one is in that camp of the tribe Same mom but not same dad So the dads are two different tribes This happened in some countries, right?
Two brothers, same mom, different dads But they're killing each other Why? Because this is from this tribe And that one's from that tribe إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهَا رَجُعُونَ وَيَقْتُلُ أَخَاهُ He's killing his own brother وَيَقْتُلُ عَمَّهُ He's killing his uncle وَيَقْتُلُ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ And he's even killing his nephew The Prophet said this is going to happen And this my brothers and sisters Is Wallahi exactly what you're seeing You go and put on the news You watch this country Look what's taking place right now As we speak in Sudan Look what's happening right now A blessed land Honorable people Sudanese people are just the most relaxed Calm, respectful people you'll meet Look what's happening in their country Tamil And we all together brothers You put on the TV and you watch Name a Muslim country إِلَّا وَفِهِ There is fitna or something going on And little are saved from it The third my brothers and sisters Because you have to identify What is a fitna The third type of fitna my brothers Is انقلاب الموازين The scales The scale is upside down Meaning as the Prophet he said سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ سَنَوَاتٌ خَدَّعَاتٌ Years of deceptions are going to come What's going to happen يُصَدَّقُ فِيهَا الْكَاذِبُ وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيهَا الْخَائِمُ وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ وَيَنطِقُ فِيهِ الرَّوَيْبِضَةُ The Prophet he said There is going to come years of deception The years that are coming Are years of deception Those years of deception That's going to come The liar will be trusted A liar كذاب Will be trusted Which is 99.9% Of the politicians كذابون Liars Just so they can get Election from the people They lie People trust them Vote for them Meet with them Online People One person makes up a Statement And everybody is retweeting it Everyone is sharing it كذب It's easy to do People believe in lies Easily And guess what وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ The truthful person now Will be disbelieved He is telling the truth No one believes him وَيُؤْتَمَلُ فِيهَا الْخَائِنُ The deceptive individual The treacherous person Will be trusted وَيُخَوَّلُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ And the person who is reliable now He is treacherous Everybody stay away from this person He is a مصلح And look at this point وَيَنطِقُ فِيهِ الرَّوَيْبِضَةِ The Prophet he said The رَوَيْبِضَةِ are going to speak The Sahabas they said وَمَلْ رَوَيْبِضَةِ وَمَلْ رَوَيْبِضَةِ Who are the رَوَيْبِضَةِ Who are they And the Prophet he said الرَّجُلَ التَّافِهِ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي أَمْرِ الْعَمَّةِ He is an insignificant person No value No قيمة Insignificant Doesn't know His right hand from his left hand Doesn't know anything And he is talking about big issues That if those issues were presented to Umar ibn al-Khattab He would have called the people of Badr And said what do you guys think regarding this issue A man who is nothing On social media is debating So you know when I realized That it's a joke what's happening on social media When I realized that a brother was having a back and forth With another brother online And little did he know that the brother he is talking to Is a 12 year old Do you understand now It made me think subhanallah Who are you talking to on the other side Are we all together brothers Who is it really that you are talking to You don't know So Meaning It's become a source of What's on there The information on there It's taken as Meaning We've been fooled a lot The fourth inshallah fitna That we are seeing in this time Is fitna to dua to dalalah The fitna of misguided callers Who call people to misguidance The prophet said salallahu alayhi wasalam This is a hadith of Hudaifah ibn al-yaman The prophet told Hudaifah Because Hudaifah said كان الناس يسألون رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الخير وكنت أسأله عن الشر مقافة The people used to ask the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam about the khair and the good I on the other hand Hudaifah I would ask the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam about the evil So that I can avoid and stay from it So he said فقلت يا رسول الله I said oh messenger of Allah إنا كنا في جاهلية وشر As you know oh messenger of Allah We were upon misguidance And we were upon ignorance and corruption فجاءنا الله بهذا الخير And this good that you've brought to us Has come to our way Allah has brought this to us سبحانه وتعالى فهل بعد هذا الخير من شر Is there going to be evil after this khair that we're in right now The prophet he said نعم there is Hudaifah then said وهل بعد هذا الشر من خير The evil that's going to come Is there going to be khair after it Look what then the prophet said نعم وفيه دخن نعم وفيه دخن Yes there is going to be khair after that evil وفيه دخن دخن means there's going to be smoke The khair here is not going to be clear khair It's going to be a tainted dark cloudy khair Hudaifah said وما دخنه يا رسول الله Oh messenger of Allah What's this smoke What's this unclear What does it mean He said قوم يهدون بغير هدي ويستنون بغير سنتي They're going to come a people Who will take guidance other than my guidance And they're going to tread a path other than my path تعرف منهم وتنكر You affirm some of their things good And some of the things that you're going to reject He then said Okay After that khair that you just mentioned Is there going to be evil then وهل بعد هذا الخير من شر That khair that you just mentioned which is dark And it's not clear Is there going to be shar after that He said نعم دعات على أبواب جهنم من أجابهم قذفوه فيها The prophet said صلى الله عليه وسلم There's going to be callers This is what I want دعات Callers على أبواب جهنم And they're standing at the doors of جهنم They're not callers to جنة They're callers to جهنم دعات على أبواب جهنم من أجابهم Anyone who obeys them And listens to them They will throw you into that hellfire They will be the means for you to enter the hellfire Hudayfah then said صفهم لنا يا رسول الله O Messenger of Allah Describe these people for us Who are these people The prophet he said هم من جلدتنا ويتكلمون بألسنتنا They are from our skin And they will be speaking our language So it's not people from another aliens No no no It's like us They'll speak Arabic They'll read hadiths Some of the scholars they said that they will be Arabs And of course they can be anything other than the Arabs Hudayfah then said فما تأمرني إن أدرقت ذلك If that time I reach it What do you command me to do What should I do in that situation When that happens what do I do The prophet he said تلزم جماعة المسلمين You stick with the Muslims The unity of the Muslims And the leader of the Muslims That's what you stick with Hudayfah is asking questions He's not just gonna He wants to know every circumstance Any scenario He said which is what applies to you guys فإن لم يكن لهم جماعة What about if they don't have a jama'a They live in the lands of the non-Muslims There's no Muslim leader for them What do they do in that particular situation فإن لم يكن لهم جماعة ولا إمام They have no jama'a They have no Muslim ruler None of that What do they do The prophet said فَاعْتَزِلْ تِلْكَ الْفِرَقَ كُلَّهَا Stay away from all of the groups فَاعْتَزِلْ تِلْكَ الْفِرَقَ كُلَّهَا Stay away from all of the groups Don't abide to this jama'a Or this jama'a فَاعْتَزِلْ Abandon, leave all of the groups وَلَوْ أَن تَعَضَّ بِأَصْلِ الشَّجَرَةِ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَكَ الْمَوْتُ وَأَنتَ عَلَىٰ ذَلِكَ The prophet said Even if you have to hold on to The bottom of the tree And bite on that And hold on to that Until death comes to you And you're in that situation You're alone Then do that فَاعْتَزِلْ تِلْكَ الْفِرَقَ كُلَّهَا Stay away from all of these groups Groupism You have to be part of a group That you cannot be upon the truth And you can't follow the haq and the khayr That's what the prophet said صلى الله عليه وسلم And that my brothers and sisters Is what Is Some of the fitan Also from the fitan My brothers and sisters Is fitnatul maal Fitnatul maal Money Fitnatul maal Is the fitnat That we're all seeing Everybody online is showing Their glamorous Glitterous يعني Shocking lifestyle I have gone to Dubai I am in a 7 star 5 star 6 star hotel I am driving this car And this car A private jet Maal Allah told us إِنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ وَاللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ أَجْلٌ عَظِيمٌ Verily your wealth And your children are a fitan They're trials and tribulation وَاللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ أَجْلٌ عَظِيمٌ And great reward is with Allah سبحانه وتعالى The prophet he said in the hadith إِنَّ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فِتْنَةٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ أُمَّتِي أَلْمَالٌ Every nation Has Fitna And the fitna Of my ummah Is money There you go Money is the fitna of this ummah Surah Tawbah Allah mentions the story of a man Some scholars they say That they know who the man was And they mention a specific story And some scholars they say which is the strongest opinion That this is not a particular individual But it's the concept of some people It's more of a general Issue وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ عَاهَدَ اللَّهَ لَإِنْ آتَانَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ Allah is telling us The story of وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ عَاهَدَ اللَّهِ A person who has made a covenant with Allah What did he say Oh Allah if you give me money If you give me wealth What am I going to do لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ I promise you oh Allah I'm going to give this money in sadaqah I'm going to worship you with this money وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ And I'm also going to be From the righteous people فَلَمَّا Allah says as soon as he was what فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ بَخِلُوا بِهِ وَتَوَلَّوَهُمْ عُرِضُونَ When Allah gave him the wealth When Allah gave him the money What did he do فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ As soon as he received The blessing of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala He turned away And he abandoned the promise that he made And that's what happens With wealth It's little those who are grateful And obey Allah with the money that they receive And don't forget the story Of Qarun إِنَّ قَارُونَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَى عَلَيْهِ وَآتَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ مَا إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُؤُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِي الْقُوَّةِ Qarun had wealth A lot of wealth And the wealth of Qarun had reached the level of This His treasures The place where the money was stored Okay Don't even ask about how big that was The key to those Storages Men of great strength had to pick it up The keys to it إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُؤُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِي الْقُوَّةِ Men who were very strong had to Put on their shoulders and carry that The key So if the key is that big What do you think the storages are going to be Or the treasures in which it is Allah Ta'ala Look what He said إِنَّ قَارُونَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَى فَبَغَى عَلَيْهِمْ وَآتِينَهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ مَا إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُؤُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِي الْقُوَّةِ Look after that Allah says إِذْ قَالَ وَنْهِي السَّادِ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لَا تَفْرَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ وَابْتَغْي فِي مَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَأَحْسِنْ كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِي الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ And then Allah says قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ عِلْدِي Now what's the story?
The people broke into two parties when it came to Qarun The first group of people فَخَرَجَ عَلَى قُومِهِ فِي زِينَتِي He came out on the day of beauty and he beautified himself فَخَرَجَ عَلَى قُومِهِ فِي زِينَتِي Look what the people said قَالَ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا يَا لَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَا قَارُونَ إِنَّهُ لَذُو حَظٍ عَظِيمٍ When they saw what Qarun had That's what happens to people When they see things online, social media and this stuff What do they see? Oh that's what I want to be And they forget about طَلَبُ العِلْم They leave of seeking knowledge They said قَالَ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا يَا لَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَا قَارُونَ Oh Allah, why can't we just have If only we got what Qarun has given إِنَّهُ لَذُو حَظٍ عَظِيمٍ He has received a good portion Look at the life he's living That's the life I want There you go, this is all I want But look at the people وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللَّهِ خَيْرً The people of knowledge spoke They said Allah's reward is better Don't be fooled by this glamour Oh you're a hater man You're just hating it You can't just watch your brother make it فَخَسَفْنَا بِي وَبِدَارِهِ الْأَرْضُ We destroyed him The earth swallowed Qarun And his wealth was destroyed What were the people now? قَالَ الَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوا مَكَانَهُ بِالْأَمْسِ قَالَ الَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوا مَكَانَهُ بِالْأَمْسِ The people that were wishing For what was given to Qarun وَيْحَتْ They're shocked now They're not wishing for what Qarun received Now what they're saying They affirm Allah's ability And strength and they say to the people of knowledge You guys were right Wealth is a fitna my brothers and sisters Wealth is what? It's a fitna And always remember that If you're given wealth Are you going to obey Allah in it? Maybe it's good not to have it The Prophet mentioned the story of three men Three men One was bold One was blind And one had leprosy And I'm sure you all know the story Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Wanted to test them All three of them So he sent an angel As the narrations show, Jibreel was the angel That was sent to them So he came to the one who had leprosy He said to him The angel said to this man أَيُّ شَيءٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ What is most beloved to you? What do you love the most?
He's got leprosy So he said لَوْنٌ حَسَنٌ I wish I can have good skin وَيَذْهَبَ And I also would like For it وَجِلْدٌ حَسَنٌ I want my skin to look nice I want to have good skin And I want whatever the people are shaming me for To go That's what I want فَمَسَحَهُ The angel wiped him فَذَهَبَ The skin what was on it Alhamdulillah it went Allah gave him subhanahu wa ta'ala good skin Then he was asked فَأَيُّ الْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ What is the wealth that was most beloved to you? What do you want the most? He said الْإِيبِلُ Camels Or he said cows The narrator doubted it Then the angel came to the second one The one who was what? Bald who lost his hair He said what is it that you want? The أَقْرَع He said I want hair I've lost my hair I want to get my hair back So what did the angel do? He wiped him And he got his hair back So فَمَسَحَهُ He wiped his head And Allah gave him back hair And then he asked him in terms of wealth What do you want? And then he said I would like to have cow And he was given cows Pregnant cow Female cows Just like the previous one was given Camels Female camels The female camel is better than the male camel She can have children Then he came to the third And he was blind and he said What do you want? He said I'm blind I want my eyesight back And I also want For this The suffering that I've been going through to go Meaning that blindness So the angel wiped Him his eyesight came back And he said in terms of wealth What is most beloved to you? And he said Goats And he was given a valley of goats So all of them have valleys And a lot of wealth The angel A while came back And he Came and visited the first man Who had leprosy Beautiful Amazing the way he looks The angel came in the form of A poor man And he said to him I am Poor I'm a traveler I've lost My way And I'm in need of what? Some help And I can't reach my destination Unless I am given something So is it possible that you Can give me A camel I ask you By the lord Who Fixed your skin And gave you this wealth So Fulfill some rights towards What Allah gave you and give me A camel so I can reach my destination Look what he said He said This wealth that you're talking about I'm scared This wealth that you see I have I took it from my dad And my dad took it from his dad This has been in the family for a long time You think I just made it yesterday The angel then said to him If you're lying And this is not the case May Allah Take you back to what you used to be And that's what happened He went back to Having leprosy And he lost everything And the same happened to the man who had Who was bald And he was asked The angel said the same thing to him And he said to him I've inherited Generation after generation This is where I got it from And he said If you're lying May Allah what Take you back to how you used to be But when he came to the Blind man And he told him The blind man said to him To take whatever you want And leave off whatever you want By Allah La Ajhadu Ka Al yawma shay'an Take whatever you want and leave whatever you want I will in no way Shape or form fight with you For anything that you take And then he said to him I used to be Once upon a time I was blind I had nothing And Allah Gave me back my eyesight And he gave me this wealth So So You're more than happy to take What you want The angel then said to him Keep your wealth I tested you and the Another two men Allah is pleased With you And as for them Allah is angry with them Also my brothers and sisters From the things that are fitna is women Women are fitna Fitna to nisa The prophet he said There is no fitna I left behind A fitna greater for the men than women The prophet Even said in a hadith The prophet he said This dunya is Green Green Allah has made you governors over this earth He's going to look at what you do As he makes you governors on this earth Fear Allah when it comes to the dunya And fear Allah when it comes to women Because the first fitna of the Bani Israel was women Women's fitna is very Serious The first that was mentioned The first thing that was mentioned was what? Women Why?
Because the fitna of women It's serious for men And a woman subhanallah Is awrah She's awrah in all aspects The woman is awrah She's an awrah If the woman leaves the house Shaytan beautifies her Makes her look beautiful This woman will look ten times More beautiful Because of what shaytan is trying to bring to you Fitna, he wants to cause fitna to you And subhanallah My brothers and sisters If you look at Kutub Ahlul Ilm You will see the fitna of women What it's done to people And Imam Ibn Al Qayyim He mentions the story of a man In his kitab He talks about Obsession and love in that book He mentions That a man climbed a He's a muezzin So he used to climb the minaret The minaret Okay And he would do the adhan And one day he climbed up to do the adhan فَنَظَرَ فِي بَيْتِ جَارِ الْمَسْجِدِ جَارِ الْمَسْجِدِ He looked at The neighbor of the masjid The house of the neighbors Of the masjid And the house Was a house By a Christian family So he's on the minaret He's doing adhan He does adhan He saw the daughter of the man His daughter When he saw her Beauty is what he saw Shocked Jaw dropped How beauty this girl was فَفْتَتَنَ بِهَا And then he was And fitna happened to him وَتَعَلَّقَ بِهَا And he became very obsessed over her He came down And he knocked the door And he said I want to marry your daughter He went to the girl and said I want to marry you She said look أَنتَ مُسْلِمُ وَأَنَا نَصْرَانِ I'm a Muslim and you're a Christian How is that going to work I'm a Muslim sorry She said to him you're a Muslim She said to him you're a Muslim And I'm a Christian How is that going to work You're a Muslim and I'm a Christian How is it going to work How are we going to get married both of us He said what do you want from me then مَا الْمَطْلُوبُ What's the request She said تَنَصَر The only way it's going to work is you leave your religion And become a Christian فَتَنَصَرَ وَارْتَدْ عَن دِينِهِ He apostate The man actually left his religion And he became a Christian And He got with The woman And some of the scholars mentioned He said he left Islam and he was on his way To get married to her On the way to get married to her He basically died on the way خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ He lost his dunya And he also lost the akhira And we're all together Another story A man Took his wife Young boy When I say boy he's a young man Just got married But his wife was Not dressed properly And she wasn't And he dressed accordingly Everything was out public And she was with who With her husband So they jumped into a taxi Together The both of them The taxi driver Can see the beauty of this woman So what does he do He pulls over His car And he asks The man to help him With the car He comes out Of the car The man to help the driver With the tire He says come help me with the tire of my car And when he does The woman's in the car Of course she's not going to come out to do the tire He goes back into the car of the driver And drives off And he took his wife And we're all together brothers Now he doesn't know what to do And we're all together brothers This my brothers and sisters Where did it come from Women are a fitna What is it A fitna And I'm sure you guys know much more Stories And we're all together brothers So my brothers and sisters Remember I have not left a fitna After me the prophet said A fitna greater For the men than women And a lot of women Know that They take advantage of that Especially women who are non-muslims Who have nothing to They have no morals And they take advantage And we're all together brothers I remember there was a case In the UK where a brother Had zina with a woman And she And I'm only telling you this because The ajaib So When they had zina She said This is a case that I brought to the masjid She said have zina with me in a rough way Then he did When he did She recorded it And she said I'm going to use this as rape The brother had wealth She said unless you give me half a million Or nine years in prison That's all I'm going to say I've got the recording you need to bring the money here And we're all together So Even my brothers and sisters If the case doesn't He wins in court It wasn't And he proves that she's bribing him And she's lying and all of that But guess what His name is always destroyed So why get yourself in that position In the first place But we're all together brothers A brother used to work in an office And in that office There were a lot of women And when the me too movement started And women were saying me too Me too The brother who Allah saved Was the one who never touched women The other ones Who hugged Things they thought it was liberal It's not being extreme Come on calm down They started to wish for what That man who didn't touch The woman Because every woman was saying you touched me in the wrong way I felt very uncomfortable that day When you hugged me You looked at me in this way And we're all together brothers So my brothers and sisters And it's sad to see brothers From social media outlets and they're following what women He's following a woman on social media He's watching her stuff And all of that Wallahi this will flip your iman Also Also Which is the point I want To bring to your attention The fitna of the disbelievers Towards the believers You guys All of you guys Are living in the lands of the non-muslims Is there anyone here from within you Who's So there's no one All of you guys are living in the lands of the non-muslims And this is a fitna Living in the lands of the non-muslims is a fitna The reason is because Every day you are going through Indirectly Directly An attack on your deen True or false Wallahi Islam is being Attacked on news Online, at school Directly, indirectly And we're all together brothers And this is a fitna Fitna so much so That it can make a person leave the fault of Islam And people have What did they say That's Always us They drew Islam in the most Barbaric, backwards Lifestyle Inna allatheena fathanul mu'mineena Wal mu'minat Those who tested the believers iman Ashabul ukhdud Allah says Thumma lam yatubu falahum Adabul jahannam walahum adabul hariq Fitna to the muslims iman So my brothers and sisters Living in the lands of the non-muslims Is a fitna As long as you're there And how long can you endure that fitna Only Allah knows Sah And that's why I said in the beginning Waminannas mayyabudullaha Ala harf Fain asabahu khayrun itma annabih Wain asabatuhu fitna Inqalaba ala wajhi Khasirat dunya wal akhira Thalika huwal khusranul mu'mineen That's why there is a lot of muslims leaving Islam Sah, in these countries Even though a lot of people are coming into Islam There are also a lot of other people Who are leaving Islam Now we all together brothers It's because these lands, there are fitna I'm gonna quickly go over Things that you need to be careful Of Which cause fitna We spoke about The types of fitna But what are the things that make Fitna happen The first one is Following desires People fall into fitna Because they follow their desires And they have very bad intention They have maqsad sayyid Afarayta man itakhad ilahahu Hawa Wa adallahu allahu ala ilmin Wa khatama ala sab'ihi Wa qalbihi wa ja'ala Ala basrihi ishawa Faman yahdihi min ba'dillah Afala tadakaroon So he Follow his lord is what What's his lord His desires Afarayta man itakhad ilahahu Hawa His desires is his lord And that's what he worships He worships his desires That's the first one Number two The second thing That causes people to fall Into fitna Is when you're an extremist What is an extremist You're extreme In exaggerating Or you're extreme in negligence And shaytan sniffs you He sniffs the person's heart And when he sniffs your heart He will see what type of person you are Are you the type that likes to Always go overboard in things He will make you go overboard in what you do If he sniffs From you that you are A negligent person You always take the easiest way You're relaxing What will he do to you He will He will take you to be what Extreme negligence Ifrat or tafrilt And those are the two you need to be careful of When it comes to Fitna Don't Overdo things to yourself This religion is easy, it's simple Don't overdo it Young brothers start practicing the deen They see a hadith And straight away Without knowing the way it's applied The way it's done How it's done They don't understand all of that So they take these nussoos And they apply it on their families Huh And then It causes a lot of problems Extreme Exaggeration And then later sometimes if your family are not even muslims It becomes very hard to give them dawah Because you burn all the bridges Because you were in extreme exaggeration You didn't look at the Method and the hikmah Of how dawah is given Now altogether brothers Don't be extreme exaggeration And don't equate to being Very Taking all the harshest views Don't think that's piety, that's not piety It was mentioned about our prophet The prophet was never given the choice Between two things And he takes the easiest one As long as it's not a sin He took the easiest one You're a traveler, for example In a country Allah has given the rukhsah of shortening And combining for example, take that And be like no, I'm righteous I'm going to pray every And it's a rukhsah Allah gave you Subhanahu wa ta'ala And we're all together brothers The prophet told us Inna allaha yuhibbu An yu'ta bil rukhasi kama yuhibbu An yu'ta bil azaim Allah loves for you to come with the ease The way he loves for you to come with The strong rulings that he has given you Like pray This salat, this salat And when he gives you ease, Allah likes you to come with the ease Because he's the one who legislated both And you're obeying him in both situations Sah? So stay away from being extreme There's some people, my brothers and sisters And extremism by the way is two There's extreme in belief And there's extreme in what actions Sah?
Extreme in belief is That you're the only guided person And everyone else is misguided And you are Firqatun naji and taifatun munsura You And a few of your friends And you believe that Or you believe you're the only Muslim And everyone is kuffar And zanabiqa And Allah only gave you Islam That's ghuloo itikadi And there's another type of ghuloo which is Ghuloo amali Ghuloo amali is When the person is extreme In acts of worship He does Overly does righteous deeds To the extent that those righteous deeds That he's doing He's abandoning more important Responsibilities Are we all together He's forsaken his wife He's forsaken his children He's forsaken the responsibilities that are upon him Usooliyat that are upon you You need to throw these responsibilities Tadhaya'uhu You forsake those responsibilities Sah brothers? Or your responsibility of your parents Or responsibility of your family You're leaving all of that And you're saying what? I'm fasting Mondays and Thursdays Fasting Mondays and Thursdays What's more important is you have good akhlaq Innama bu'ithtu li utammim Makarimal akhlaq So knowing the Awlawiyat, what comes first And then what's next And what's next And having that sequence Is important And you know why I brought these people Falling into Why they fall into extreme exaggeration And extreme negligence Because number one Adamu fahmi al-deen There's no good understanding of the religion They don't have understanding They don't understand the Quran and the Sunnah Properly Are we all together brothers That's one of the reasons why If you truly understood One of the things you'll learn is what is known as Awlawiyat Awlawiyat are what? The sequence and the order of things Sah?
The sequence and the what? The order of things Basic talib ulmu know that the good deeds That's restricted to you And the deed that encompasses others Which one is better? The others There's ibadat which are called Qasila Ibadat which are restricted to you And ibadat which are muta'diyah Meaning it involves other people Which one is better? The actions which are muta'diyah It's better than the aamal which is qasila So saying fay qiyamul layl And then saying And then I was praying qiyamul layl And some family members knocked on the door But I carried on my salah Are we all together This is not having understanding of what? Which one Is more greater? Which one is better? That you stop the qiyamul layl for that night And say listen our family guests that came I'm not going to pray tonight And you let them in and you give them the time And you make them feel special and you let them go Which one is better? Are we all together I remember a brother Tough brother Practicing the deen, reads an ayah from the Quran directly Acts upon it So he got married, his wife complained She said this guy I don't know where he came from What galaxy he was sent from I can't do this, I can't live this way She said I'm losing it I said what happened? She said calm down I thought she was one of those feminists Who she doesn't like the ayat and the hadith But I learned a lesson not to judge At the end of that At the end of that discussion I was on the women's side She said my parents came and knocked on the door And the time they knocked on my door Was it after Salatul Isha Or was it Dhuhr time, one of the times My parents came And then my husband looked And he said don't let them in I said why He said to me Allah said in the Quran She said what What did Allah say She said Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala He said There's three times That you don't come to people's houses Before Fajr Dhuhr time and after Isha Which is true Ayat does say that She said my mum It's raining outside She's at the door He said are we going to take Allah over your mum Do you see what's happening here She was like I literally watched my mum stand there And then he said to me Go to her and tell her Open the door She said I can't tell my mum I prefer she thinks that we're not here He said no I command you Again he used the hadith You have to obey your You have to obey your husband So you have to go to the door And tell your mum By your husband Go to your mum and tell her Mum my husband said you can't come this time It's not the right time to come She said I was in tears I opened the door I said mum It's a bad time You can't come So Allah saved me that my mother Understood But what type Of person am I dealing with He said Musiba is what you're dealing with But I said in my head I don't want to destroy this marriage But I was like That person is going to make that Sister hate Islam The name Islam The word Islam She's going to hate every Of that word And he's thinking that قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالَ الَّذِينَ ضَلَّوا سَعِيُّهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَاهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَهُمْ يَحْسِنُونَ السُّنَعَةِ He thinks he's doing good This is ghuloo It's not pleasing to Allah Angers Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Where did it come from He didn't understand the verse he's reading Hasn't comprehended that And we'll tell the brothers And these type of people They're many And they burn out But the problem is If they only burnt out themselves They take other people With them as well And they destroy the image of al-Islam So don't attribute To yourself Or don't think to yourself That if a person is harsh and tough and rough He's masha'Allah sahibu haqq Wa khayr wa ahli taqwa Baqiyat salaf And we'll together The prophet told us in a hadith Do you know what he said He said that the believer is what A person who is what Sahlun layyunun See that, did you see that brothers What did the prophet say about the believer He said that the true believer is the person Who is soft and approachable What is he He's soft and what Approachable It happened at the time of the prophet The prophet The women They came to the prophet and they were talking And they were talking in the presence of who The prophet Who entered Umar entered, what happened to the women Yeah they all ran away What was their reason What was their reason why they ran away Umar scares us Like Umar was not what these people are And we all together What did the prophet say Umar is no way like these people But the point I'm trying to show you from the story Is that the prophet Was what Hatta when the ayah came down What's the beginning of that verse What does it mean It was They entered the prophet's house Some of the companions and they overstayed Did they They overstayed And they stayed and they didn't leave And the prophet did he tell them leave Was he shy He was so shy To say to these people Please leave my house Are we all together brothers So What did he do instead He went Came back they're still there They've not left This ayah came down And Allah informed them of how to treat The prophet's house He said Allah said If you're shy Allah is not shy to say the truth And he told them That the prophet's house Do not enter it And this is what caused the prophet harm That was the manners of the prophet He used to look after And I'm compiling right now I'm trying to put together Which is observing people's feelings The waqif of the prophet's life And the salaf To observe people's feelings How important it is in Islam Another reason why people fall into fitna Is there is no Consistent methodology That the person follows There's the absence of There is no correct methodology That you're stemming from So then you're always somewhere Today you're there He's like yeah I am All these scholars are And then the next day He's flipped to the other side And he's like all of them I take from everybody And I don't leave anyone behind What is the problem Whichever view he takes There was no real methodology He wasn't picking up from some He's not building from A manhaj Both situations he's following Nusus which are mutashabihah He's following ambiguous verses What's he following? Ambiguous verses And so the absence Of a solid Foundation You'll see a person always On a state of fitna Are we all together about this? I'm scribbling Ideas that I could think of today So just bear with me These are some of the things I can think of The next one is This is number 4 right? Is hastiness And not being patient This also causes fitna When people can't wait for results Why, why, why Ustad? Why is this happening? Why is this happening? I don't understand But why?
They want results now And this does cause fitna Because Allah told the Prophet ﷺ فَاصْبِرْكَ مَا صَبَرَ أُولُّ الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الْرُّسُلِ We took that Surah Al-Ahqaf Be patient Be patient So some people for them it's like Now Now, the results now And it's gharib A brother makes hijrah Leaves the land of the non-Muslims Comes to another land And one week he's like I can't stay here Why? I just can't He's shaking, why? It's only a week No Shaykh I can't, this is not for me Or I remember I travelled with a brother We went to Egypt And we went to a neighbourhood in Egypt Which is a bit tough Allahumma barik And the water When it comes out for the first Three minutes It's a bit dark and different colours That's what What did we leave for? What was our reason? طالب العلم Right? So he saw the water He goes no No I can't do this This is not for me And Allahumma barik I swear by Allah And I say this with conviction That brother had a brain He was, every class he went to It was, his understanding Was something else لكن استعجال killed him استعجال Every time he would call him and say Shaykh please I can't do this, look at this He's complaining about everything And also in Egypt He went to KFC At least find my food But the chicken, you can whack somebody So it's like hard So he went and he said Look at this chicken, look how hard it is استعجال استعجال Of course he's from the upper class in the UK Upper class Money, he did, he's from a family But he had brain His parents They put him in a private school in the UK, that's expensive right? No one goes to private Schools in the UK We go to public school So he's smart like that, he's very Well, like pen and paper, he's good at that But what is it that destroyed him? استعجال Couldn't be patient, he couldn't wait That this is all gonna go So my brothers and sisters, if you're not patient It's a fitna for you Because everything has to be now Another thing that causes fitna My brothers and sisters is Muslims not helping each other It's a fitna for the people عدم التعاون والنصرة بين المسلمين When there's no Aiding and helping and supporting Between the Muslims Which is the fifth reason Some people say, I can't be a Muslim anymore Look at this, how the Muslims are all abandoning me Everyone has left me Everyone's turned their back on me Are these reasons Real? Allah says in the Quran وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فِتْنَةٌ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ The hadith is تَكُنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فِتْنَةٌ وَفَسَادٌ عَرِيضٌ So The أخوة الإيمانية helps brothers and sisters Some people they get When they come into Islam, that first day Everyone comes up to them and says تَكْبِير! الله أكبر! تَكْبِير! الله أكبر! And he feels Oh, he's part of a community The next day he's walking by himself Everybody just left True or false? And sometimes it gets bad It gets even bad Some people say, I think he's a spy I think this guy is a spy I think he's been planted in the Muslims Everyone stay away from him Am I telling the truth? Or a brother starts practicing He takes the deen serious He comes into the masjid Brothers know he's jahiliyya The brothers repented And a person repents from sins It's like he's never done it before But guess what the brothers in the back are doing Yeah, do you know this guy? Jahiliyya He was the don on the streets Killed He's got bodies on his name The brother in the masjid can hear people whispering about him I'm not making these things up I've seen it I was the imam of a masjid A sister She was on jahiliyya She took off her hijab Maybe she's been in a lot of haram relationships She fell off Dark days she was in Alhamdulillah she saw the light of Islam She came into the masjid She comes in, the sisters are talking about her I wonder who's going to get married to her We're all together That sister might have tattoos Which happened in the masjid The sister came to me in the masjid She said sheikh can I ask you a question I had a jahiliyya, a very dark jahiliyya I repented And I'm sincerely Remorseful of what I did in my past I wish I could go back in life Erase everything I did There's not a day that goes by She said except I cried because of what I did But I can't sit in the masjid for five minutes The good looks that I get given The things And when I took the microphone I said sisters It's not hard to Allah that He flips your heart And takes you onto the streets And you go through that darkness This unity and brotherhood And helping each other in khair When it's absent, it's a fitna my brothers and sisters The sixth reason Of fitna is ghiyab al-musliheen The absence of people Who are sincere advisors When they go Who tries to fill that gap The people who fill the gap Is the evil people And the evil becomes even prevalent When there's no muslih Sincere musliheen who try to fix things And we're all together, they're not there And we're all together Everybody has an agenda The da'ee who's meant to be a muslih Who's meant to be a caller To the deen of Allah He's like I'm not coming to this lecture Until I get this hotel Until I get paid this much money I don't take Economy class What do I do? Business And he says He goes by the way you can't talk to me Why?
I have a Receptionist What's it called? An assistant I have a private assistant You can speak to my assistant And my assistant is going to deal with your situation And you'll speak to the assistant He sends you a receipt Receipt In that receipt is what? You have to send Half of the money has to be Is that muslih? That's not muslih And we're all together What were they doing? Yeah? What were they doing? I don't ask you any reward For what I do for you guys And we're all together brothers So the ghiyabul muslihina The absence of muslihina People who are sincerely Concerned about The problem of the ummah When khair for everybody When they are absent The people of evil become Very very Apparent And that's what the prophet told us He said The prophet did his finger like this And he said The amount that was opened From what?
Okay Zainab then she said Zainab bint Jahsh She said His wife She said Are we going to be destroyed amongst us Our righteous people The prophet he said Yes if If the evil becomes a lot So the muslihina are very little The evil is more Number seven my brothers and sisters is There's nobody If you live at a time In an era where calling to the good And prohibiting the evil is being seen as like bad It's a problem And that's what we're seeing Nowadays a lot Mind your business What's it got to do with you Why are you getting involved Right When the brothers addressed women's issues Why are you talking about women's issues Strange Where is this rule from That men cannot address women's issues And even women can't address men's issues Of course they can If a woman sees a munkar from a man She has to address this problem And warn against it The same as if a man does The next thing brothers is It's the eighth thing that causes a lot of fitan When the sin And the transgression And the oppression Is around every corner It's just everywhere now Allah says What's happening here The people of evil Are committing their sins And guess what It's dangerous I just want to mention one hadith And I'm going to conclude with that The prophet he said Five things If you are tested with And I seek refuge in Allah I reached this time The prophet he said So it kind of seems like This is going to be at the end of time Which is our time There is not a people Who openly Commit fahisha Fahisha here means zina Out openly People are saying this is my girlfriend My boyfriend Haram relationship Out in the open people are not even worried The sister is telling her friends Yeah I have a boyfriend It's fine everyone is talking about it There is no It's not a hidden issue it's public news Then guess what There is going to come AIDS HIV Sahabas didn't know HIV and AIDS Coronavirus All of these things Allah brings them Poverty There is going to be what Hunger Sicknesses Which was not present In the previous nations That's the first thing So zina is done publicly It's not private It's become now public Everybody is going in it It reminds me of an issue Where a brother Subhanallah He wanted to marry a sister He wanted to what? Marry a sister She wasn't all that Practicing He wanted to marry her His brother has never been in a haram relationship So when he got married to her She said to him Tell me about your past He said I haven't had a past I have been practicing all my time She said you have never been in a haram relationship He said no I haven't Then she clearly said to him So you are a virgin He said yeah of course Of course I am a virgin She said no I don't want to get married to you You are not experienced You don't know So I am not going to get married to you Imagine that Yeah brothers That you have to be that Disturbed To say that statement So when you are living at a time like that You ask yourself Which one is it better To live on the earth Or underneath the earth Yeah Yeah Some situations it is better to live Underneath the earth Because we do live under the earth right Hayatul barzakh Some things it is better to live under the earth Than on top of the earth Because azab of Allah is going to come And when it comes It is not going to be restricted To those evil doers The second thing is The prophet said look what he said You do not become unjust In the scaling and the way you scale things Buying and selling You go to the market The guy is selling you broken things Lying and he is saying to you Wallahi this is made in Australia Kaddab is made in China Zubair why are you laughing is that what you do Yeah I rather not say And we all together You are buying you go to the market The guy is buying you Guess what when they do that And they start playing around What Allah Ta'ala does is He brings Droughts Rain does not come out Is that all Oppressive leaders Leaders Qulubuhum Qulubu dhi'ab Whose hearts are the hearts of wolves Baal Does not care Has no mustard seed of mercy In him Just ripping into his society Nuking them when they do not listen to him Puts them in prison and forgets them in those prisons That is what comes Look at that Wa lam yamna'u zakat amwalihim And they do not refuse to pay the zakat Except Allah stops the rain from the sky We all together And guess what And even the little rain that you see coming down Is only for the animals not for you guys But the animals didn't do anything wrong So Allah sends a little rain for them This little rain is for them They do not break the covenant of Allah And the covenant of his messenger Except They do not break the covenant of Allah Following the sunnah Being obedient to Allah They don't break all of those covenants Also the covenants that they make with others They break all the uhud and the muwathiq When they break that Except what does Allah do He sends to them Aduwan min ghayrihim Enemies from outside will come And the enemy will take what is in their hands Wa ma lam tahkum a'immatuhum And when their rulers Do not judge by Bikitabillahi The book of Allah And they bring man made laws from France And England And other places And they use that As they made the storm The constitution of the country Is based on a man made law When they do that Illa ja'alallahu ba'sahum baynahum Except Allah makes The people and the ruler Consistently fighting He can't sit on that chair properly As soon as he sits Fights, wars, two tribes are fighting He has to stop the fight The people are uprising against him Protests, this and that Why is that happening to him? Because he refuses to judge by the book of Allah My brothers and sisters All of this is what What our hands have done Before There are more asbab More reasons But I will leave it there Those are the advices I want to share with all of you I hope that was of benefit For all of you And anything I said While I was here When I was speaking Anything I said that was wrong Is from me and shaytan and Allah and his messenger Are both free from it Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdik Ashadu an la ilaha illa ant Istaghfiruka wa atubu ilayhi
