Transcript

[0:00]foreign we are in the seventh course or seventh class session of

[0:16]this 10-week course on and beliefs in the previous session we talked

[0:25]about the importance of prophethood the importance of a Divine representative from

[0:30]Allah where God out of his compassion out of his mercy and

[0:37]out of his Justice sends a prophet sends a representative to show

[0:47]people the way because we know that Allah does not create for

[0:53]no reason Allah does not do anything for no reason because Allah

[0:59]the intellect of God is complete so Allah does not do anything

[1:03]for no reason therefore everything has a purpose and the purpose of

[1:09]creation one of the purposes is that Justice will be met Allah

[1:13]cannot his Justice does not allow for Injustice to go on in

[1:19]the world a lot of people right now you see them they

[1:21]die they suffer unjustly a lot of people have Injustice in this

[1:26]life does that fair for God to just leave these people no

[1:28]so what does this mean this means that there's going to be

[1:32]a day of judgment this means that there's going to be a

[1:34]hasab there's going to be a kitab there's going to be accountability

[1:37]this is we're going to talk about this the last session inshallah

[1:40]mod when we talk about that but since there is mahad since

[1:45]there is accountability then would it be fair for God to put

[1:52]you in a test and not show you the way put you

[1:53]in the test and not teach you not show you not send

[1:58]you a Divine representative that's not fair so therefore logically we understand

[2:05]that God's hecma God's love God's mercy God's justice dictates that there

[2:12]has to be someone that teaches people and shows people the way

[2:16]and we have many narrations as well in fact in one of

[2:23]our most important books of Hadith by the name of al-khafi he

[2:29]came and he wrote this book during the Rebecca so immediately after

[2:37]Imam and mahdi's imamadi went into the raiba into the occultation was

[2:40]there so that means that during the life of Imam al-mahdi but

[2:45]he had gone into the was writing this book similarly you have

[2:50]who came a little bit after and then you have these are

[2:56]the early Scholars they've written these narrations for us so in this

[3:02]uh and this Hadith from al-khafi by alkalaini heroda and alcafi and

[3:09]Abby jaffar Imam abhi jaffar is Imam al-bakar Ali Salaam he says

[3:35]so the Imam is saying that not only we believe in prophets

[3:41]but the Imam is saying that at any given time since the

[3:45]time of Adam until the day of judgment there has to be

[3:50]a Hajj of Allah a Divine representative of Allah on Earth there

[3:55]has to be a proof of God because we mentioned in the

[4:00]previous session what's the whole purpose of a of a prophet what's

[4:04]the whole purpose of so that people would not say oh God

[4:12]you did not send for us a prophet you did not send

[4:14]for us a messenger a teacher there would be a connection between

[4:20]God and people and that is the job of the hajja but

[4:22]the Imam is adding that at any time there has to be

[4:28]a proof of Allah and this is one of the proofs that

[4:31]we use foreign we say we say that this is the proof

[4:35]that we use for the Imam alaihissalam that there has to always

[4:44]be a Divine representative from Allah so he says from the time

[4:53]of Adam until there has always been an Imam that guides people

[4:58]Imam and another Hadith from Imam Assad they asked the Imam Imam

[5:13]Imam he says if there was no Imam if there was no

[5:19]Divine representative then there would be no purpose for life to continue

[5:21]and then the day of judgment would begin there would be no

[5:27]purpose because the whole purpose for Life Allah created us to guide

[5:31]us to show us the way and the means of guidance is

[5:36]through the prophets and the imams they are the hajjat Allah remember

[5:39]we mentioned the Hadith I believe we mentioned the Hadith last time

[5:44]that there's a hot job and there's a hajjadahara there's an internal

[5:51]hajja and there's a apparent hajja the internal is the fitra that

[5:55]is the internal navigation system that Allah has given every person and

[6:02]then the apparents the exterior proof of God that is the imams

[6:08]and the prophets of Allah so now there has to always be

[6:14]prophets or there has to always be a Divine representative from Allah

[6:19]that's one second because we're talk we're continuing this session on as

[6:24]a part of our usual Deen we have to believe in the

[6:30]prophets we have to believe in the prophets and in The Messengers

[6:33]we our narrations tell us narrations from rasulullah and from the imams

[6:42]of the albat say that we have a hundred and twenty four

[6:45]thousand prophets and Messengers Allah has sent from the time of Adam

[6:49]all the way after rasulullah you have the hajjad of Allah they

[6:55]are the proofs of God the imams of the al-baits although until

[6:58]Imam and then is the Imam until now he's the Hajj of

[7:04]Allah until now this is why we call him Imam or we

[7:08]call him to Allah we'll talk about that as well when the

[7:11]time comes now there there has to always be a prophet or

[7:17]a Divine representative from God now what is a prophet a prophet

[7:22]nebby in the Arabic language nebi is a prophet nebby is someone

[7:30]who receives divine revelation Divine intuition from Allah and Allah speaks to

[7:39]the prophets in several ways and this verse that we recited last

[7:45]time Allah does not speak directly to a human being how why

[7:55]not why doesn't God speak to a person because that would be

[7:58]that would mean he is limited I could speak to you I'm

[8:00]limited in this place in this location Allah and this is one

[8:08]of the most important foundations that the Quran keeps insisting on the

[8:13]the people during the time of prophet Musa they say let us

[8:18]see God Allah tells him you could never see me not that

[8:20]I will I don't allow you to see me you can't see

[8:23]me because if you see God God is going to be limited

[8:26]if God is speaking to you directly then that means god is

[8:30]limited in one particular location or place or time either a revelation

[8:39]or through a hijab rasulan or through a rasool through a messenger

[8:49]like is the messenger explains this he says the first type of

[8:59]Revelation as the wahi and that is Imam Ali he says that

[9:05]is places his words or what he wants his message in the

[9:18]heart of the prophets without any intermediary meaning sometimes Allah would reveal

[9:27]unto the prophet through jibril foreign and other times Allah would bring

[9:35]down the Quran upon the hearts of the Prophet without any intermediary

[9:40]without anyone in the way and this is why when this used

[9:45]to happen to rasulullah rasulallah would sometimes faint because of the heavy

[9:52]of the heavy nature because rasulullah he's much greater than used to

[9:58]sit like a student in front of rasulullah but when Allah is

[10:04]bringing down the Revelation and Allah says came down on your heart

[10:10]so this is this happened sometimes during the life of rasulullah and

[10:15]perhaps some of the other prophets one of the times this happened

[10:18]was in the Israel and the Maharaj when the prophets he went

[10:23]to the heavens he went to the heavens and Allah describes oh

[10:38]the prophet was being elevated in the heavens and the heavens he

[10:44]reached the place of prophet Ibrahim Musa he saw all the prophets

[10:46]and jibril is taking him he's going with him they reach a

[10:54]place now it's on you now it's all you know to anmullah

[10:56]if I go closer one millimeter I would burn now it's all

[11:02]you and Allah describes he kept getting closer and closer if you

[11:11]take an arrow you're pulling on the Arrow what happens to the

[11:17]two tips they come closer they come closer Allah says in the

[11:21]Quran that rasulullah he came he came near Allah now God doesn't

[11:30]have a physical body so how does this happen it's probably the

[11:33]place of the Irish or the place of the manifestation of the

[11:36]laws of God he came this close meaning as closest to ER

[11:41]the ends of a bow if you pull them that's how close

[11:45]they come they came there there is where Allah directly spoke to

[11:54]rasulullah now there's a second type there's a second type because the

[12:00]verse in the Quran says the the verse in the Quran says

[12:04]that um where's the verse the verse says or through a hijab

[12:17]what is this hijab this hijab is um says he says this

[12:27]is how did Allah speak to Musa the first time through the

[12:46]tree The Burning Tree that tree was the hijab that tree was

[12:50]what Allah used to speak to Prophet Musa another hijab could be

[12:56]a dream Ibrahim he had a dream that is the hijab that

[13:00]Allah spoke to him through the dream the other the the other

[13:07]is through a rasul and that is he came down and he

[13:23]brought down the Quran any questions regarding what has been said so

[13:28]far so so far we explained there has always been prophets and

[13:33]Messengers there's a logic tells us that and the Hadith of the

[13:37]imams the sahih Hadith and there's actually a whole chapter in alcafi

[13:42]that that talks about this there have been a hundred and twenty

[13:45]four thousand prophets and Messengers what is a prophet the prophet is

[13:49]the one that Allah speaks to him now prophets they don't all

[13:52]come at the same level not all prophets are the same some

[13:56]prophets Allah speaks to them in a dream other prophets Allah speaks

[14:03]to them yes sister is a messenger who used to speak to

[14:27]the prophets and Messengers yes now as we said prophets and Messengers

[14:31]they're in different categories so you have some prophets that are higher

[14:39]higher in rank than other profits you have a rasool and you

[14:46]also have a nebby which one is higher a higher in rank

[14:54]higher in rank rasul rasool why because anyone could be a you

[15:04]could be a prophet as soon as God speaks to you but

[15:08]when God commissions you to deliver a message and speak on his

[15:12]behalf then you become now you're delivering a message on behalf of

[15:18]God so they say that when when Prophet Musa Allah first spoke

[15:23]to him or where Allah speaks to Musa Allah tells him he

[15:38]tells him I'm your Lord You're a prophet when does when does

[15:45]Musa become a rasool as soon as Allah tells him as soon

[15:50]as Allah tells him go to now he's elevated in ranked now

[15:55]he's been given he's been commissioned with a task to deliver the

[15:59]message he became a messenger but also revelation is anyone who receives

[16:07]a revelation of prophets no who received the Revelation that's not a

[16:14]prophet musa's mother musa's mother um it could be a Divine intuition

[16:27]as well it could be an intuition she just had the feeling

[16:30]that we're I'm gonna put this baby in the in the she

[16:34]had this feeling that I'm gonna put this baby in the uh

[16:40]cradle so can I ask everyone who's on Zoom to please mute

[16:47]themselves yes so um profits the the prophets of Allah some they're

[16:55]all prophets 124 000 prophets but not all of them are messengers

[17:01]there were some local prophets some people are in a village they

[17:04]have a local prophet in a small town they have a local

[17:06]prophet and then you have people individuals who were sent with a

[17:15]global message with a global mission to deliver God's Divine message like

[17:20]during the time of prophet Musa there were several prophets one Prophet

[17:24]was his brother Haroon his brother harun was a prophet another Prophet

[17:31]was who took him in for 10 years he was a prophet

[17:35]but who was the prophet that was sent and tasked with a

[17:41]global message a message for everyone Prophet Musa he was sent with

[17:48]the big message during his time during the time of Arisa there

[17:52]were several prophets who were some prophets that were alive during the

[17:56]time of Isa yes Zakaria who else Yahya Yahya was a prophet

[18:03]and there could be other prophets that we don't know about the

[18:07]Quran doesn't mention all 124 000 prophets there could be other prophets

[18:11]so as we mentioned in any time there are Divine representatives in

[18:17]fact some people they asked a few perhaps last time or before

[18:23]that people ask um between Issa between Jesus and rasulullah there was

[18:29]about 500 years 500 and somewhat years between them was there no

[18:34]not a prophet during that time there was a prophet just because

[18:41]we don't know just because the Quran did not mention explicitly that

[18:44]does not mean that there was no Prophet there has to always

[18:47]be a prophet in fact we have some narrations we have some

[18:52]narrations that say Abu Talib was a prophet and perhaps Abdullah and

[18:58]perhaps some of the because they were more they were modifiers so

[19:02]it is the akal tells us that there has to always be

[19:06]a Divine representative and we have some narrations that tell us that

[19:10]in fact the other day I heard a narration regarding um Fatima

[19:16]I said this is off topic but to show the knowledge of

[19:23]Abu Talib it says that when rasulullah was born the mother of

[19:29]Imam Ali she she comes she's carrying she's carrying rasulullah and she

[19:34]shows him give me 30 years and I will give you one

[19:48]like him except he's not a prophet he tells her give me

[19:51]30 years and I will meaning after 30 years give me give

[19:56]me 30 years and I will give you one like him except

[19:58]he's not a prophet and this is exactly what Imam Ali was

[20:03]he was just like the prophet except so there has always there

[20:12]has to always be a prophet but but there are amongst the

[20:18]prophets there are Russell there are messengers and amongst the Russo the

[20:24]Russells there are there's a rank of the five highest ranking Russell

[20:28]what are they called prophets and those are those are new Prophet

[20:41]Noah Prophet Ibrahim Prophet Musa Prophet is foreign meaning that they came

[21:17]with a universal message and another Hadith they were said they were

[21:31]named because they have a Sharia they came with Allah like Prophet

[21:34]Musa alaihi salaam he came with the Torah when other prophets came

[21:40]they were following the law of Musa then when Aisa came he

[21:45]reformed and he changed the law so the law of Arisa was

[21:50]the law of the real religion until when once rasulullah comes now

[21:59]he came with a new law with a new message which is

[22:04]the same similar but it has its own its its differences and

[22:07]now people have to follow the law of rasulullah any questions foreign

[22:15]yes yes 30 years Okay so we mentioned the signs of a

[22:36]prophet that the prophet has to have Miracles and clues and indicators

[22:40]and a previous Prophet they have to come and show them and

[22:44]tell people that this after me is a prophet and we talked

[22:49]about some of the Miracles of the prophets but their miracles could

[22:54]be in several ways one of them is that the prophet is

[23:02]given access to the Rabe access to the knowledge of the Unseen

[23:05]and here this is where there are some Nancy as they come

[23:11]and they say you guys do kufur because you say that the

[23:13]prophets and the imams they have knowledge of the Unseen here there

[23:18]is a verse in the Quran describing Israel out of soil out

[23:45]of clay what looks like a bird he used to come and

[23:54]hold clay in his hand he would make it look like a

[23:59]bird he blows in it and what happens to it it flies

[24:02]out of his hand he says by the permission of God and

[24:11]I would cure the Blind and the people with Leprosy by the

[24:18]and raise the dead by the permission of Allah and I tell

[24:25]you what you have hidden in your house and what you're what

[24:31]you're doing in Pride in your private life so one of the

[24:36]things everything that the prophets do is by the permission of God

[24:39]if you were to believe if anyone were to believe that Jesus

[24:44]raised the dead independently what does that mean that shirk that means

[24:49]you have two gods if Jesus were to do anything on their

[24:52]own that's Shirk and this is why we come and we say

[25:00]there is nothing in in this universe that has independent Authority and

[25:06]power today some people they come and say oh there's magician cast

[25:08]a spell on me this and that they didn't do something they

[25:13]can't they're not independent of God whatever they either they use the

[25:16]laws of God the laws of physics and the laws of cause

[25:18]and effect or chemistry or whatever or they're doing something by the

[25:23]permission of God nothing could happen without the permission of God maybe

[25:27]you didn't understand what they did but everything that happened was by

[25:31]the permission of God so one of the things that the prophets

[25:34]have is access to the rape access to the Unseen and this

[25:39]is a controversial topic amongst Muslims today one of the accusations of

[25:45]the Nancy some of the extremists like the salafi wahhabis they say

[25:50]Yushi why because you say that your imams and the prophets they

[25:54]have knowledge of the Unseen so here this all goes back to

[26:02]not understanding the Quran correctly when someone does not truly understand the

[26:06]Quran it's going to lead them to accuse someone else of shirk

[26:11]or it's going to lead them to committing shirk themselves and not

[26:14]truly understanding the Quran because there are verses in the Quran in

[26:18]Surah 27 verse 65 Allah says in the Quran say that no

[26:25]one in the heavens and in the Earth has the knowledge of

[26:31]the Unseen other than Allah and another verse Allah tells them if

[26:45]tell them if I if I have the knowledge of the Unseen

[26:49]then I would seek more more things for myself because they used

[26:51]to come to the prophet they used to tell them what's happening

[26:53]now tell us there's those that sallallah tells them no I'm not

[26:57]a I'm not a fortune teller I I'm telling you what God

[27:03]is telling me so now how do we reconcile between the prophet

[27:06]having knowledge of the Unseen like Aisa he tells them I will

[27:11]tell you what you have in your house what you're hiding I

[27:13]will be able to raise the dead I will be able to

[27:17]do all these things that are Divine things and only Allah has

[27:21]the one who gives life only Allah is the one who takes

[27:25]life how do we reconcile between this exactly everything that Jesus does

[27:33]everything that Musa does everything that rasulullah does this is all done

[27:40]by what by the permission of Allah thank you everything that's done

[27:45]is done by the permission of Allah so if it's done by

[27:51]the permission of God then where's the problem that's how we reconcile

[27:54]Jesus used to raise the dead by the permission of God we're

[28:00]not saying he did it independently tells people you this is what's

[28:07]going to happen and that's what's going to going to happen but

[28:10]so Allah does this Allah gave you that knowledge and we say

[28:16]the same about the imams he knows of an event that's going

[28:22]to happen in the future does this mean that they have independent

[28:26]knowledge of God no they have knowledge that is from Allah another

[28:32]point that we will talk about is the infallibility of the Prophet

[28:38]Muhammad I'm sorry my throat is a little bit scratchy so one

[28:48]topic that is um uh uh also a controversial topic which we

[28:55]discussed a couple of weeks ago in one of our lectures is

[29:00]the topic of the usma the topic of the infallibility of the

[29:05]prophets and The Messengers this also has several justifications several proofs one

[29:12]is a logical proof a logical proof for this does it make

[29:18]sense for God to put us in a test and not send

[29:23]us a teacher no so that's why God sent prophets and Messengers

[29:26]at all times okay so now we accept God sent prophets and

[29:32]Messengers is it fair or does it make sense for God to

[29:34]send Messengers but these Messengers every day they're doing something wrong every

[29:37]day they're doing something immoral is that acceptable what does this mean

[29:44]this means that God either made a mistake God did not know

[29:49]that they're going to make a mistake or God's is intentionally misleading

[29:53]us he tells me you have to follow rasulullah he tells me

[29:57]you have to follow Isa you have to follow Musa they're the

[30:00]prophets of God if you don't follow them you're going to hell

[30:02]and then what happens when you follow them they're making mistakes does

[30:07]that make sense no what's very unfortunate is that right now the

[30:14]books of the Muslims the books of the Hadith and many of

[30:19]the Muslims they have an understanding of rasulullah and the prophets that

[30:27]they were individuals who did immoral things who did things that were

[30:35]wrong right now A few days ago we celebrated there's a Hadith

[30:40]in bukhari and Muslim Came Upon him and he tells him you're

[30:47]a prophet he goes to Khadijah and he starts doubting in himself

[30:53]and he starts thinking that he's going mad and he's hallucinating and

[30:58]he's all of that is this something that is acceptable one Hadith

[31:03]says he wanted to commit suicide he he thought that he had

[31:10]gone mad meaning he did not believe in the message he did

[31:13]not believe in jibrail and he's trying to convince other people to

[31:16]believe in him is this acceptable so this is why we the

[31:23]followers of the albat because we take our Elm we take our

[31:25]Akita we take our knowledge from the imams of the Arabic they

[31:29]have the pure access to the knowledge the others they took it

[31:32]from other individuals who did not have the real access to the

[31:35]knowledge so we understand that the prophets or any Divine representative there

[31:42]has to always be a Divine representative and any Divine representative must

[31:47]be a person who's inerrant must be a person who's masum a

[31:51]person who does not do things that are wrong because if they

[31:54]did things that are wrong other people they're going to do the

[31:58]wrong and then what's going to happen on the day of judgment

[32:00]they say why are you punishing me when this person did the

[32:03]same thing yes sister so according to RFA we believe in the

[32:11]14 being the absolute Muslim right right yes no the prophets are

[32:18]also masum that's a given the prophets they have to be masoom

[32:26]if they're a prophet sent by God if God is appointing this

[32:28]person as a prophet if this person makes a mistake then that

[32:32]means god did not know that this person is going to make

[32:36]a mistake or this means that God sent this person and knew

[32:38]they're going to make a mistake and told people you have to

[32:41]follow him if you don't you're going to be punished that's intentionally

[32:44]misleading people so we believe that all the prophets are infallible and

[32:51]this we have narrations from the imams of the alphabet so this

[32:54]is a logical reason one tells you that anyone who was sent

[32:58]by God has to be inerrant has to be and second you

[33:03]have a quranic reason we'll we'll go to your question just a

[33:06]second we have Quran and Hadith the Quran Allah says talking about

[33:13]Prophet Ibrahim in Suraj multiple tests you finish them once he finished

[33:24]them Allah tells him you have reached the position of Imam and

[33:31]here we understand that the position of Imam is even higher than

[33:36]nabua and higher than rasala and some of the prophets are also

[33:42]imams like rasulullah like Ibrahim they are imams now Ibrahim God gave

[33:50]him this position of Imam he says what about my progeny what

[33:54]about my children are they going to have this what does Allah

[33:57]tells him someone who's an idol worshiper someone who sins someone who

[34:10]does wrong have any of the prophets did any of the prophets

[34:12]worship idols not a single day in their life did any of

[34:18]the imams worship idols not a single day of their life this

[34:21]is one of the proofs for the Imam of Imam out of

[34:24]all the other sahaba who used to worship idols at least the

[34:30]others who came and claimed to be Khalifa the first three they

[34:32]claimed to be Khalifa they used to worship idols for decades decades

[34:36]they used to do sujuta and Idol even right now when they

[34:43]mention him what did they say about him his name Allah honored

[34:47]his face why because he only did sujood to Allah yes brother

[34:57]so here this we have Hadith from the imams of the Albert

[35:03]there's a Hadith a dialogue because Imam when he went to Moon

[35:09]he used to have this dialogue intellectual Gatherings with him so he

[35:14]tells him how do you say the prophets are infallible because the

[35:18]Sunni belief the Nancy I believe is that the prophets are infallible

[35:22]they don't say they're not infallible they say they are infallible but

[35:26]only when they are delivering the message meaning that only when they

[35:33]are only when they are um delivering the message that is when

[35:37]they are infallible other than that they could make a mistake right

[35:44]now there are several narrations Musa the angel of death he wants

[35:49]to come and take his soul what does he do he gets

[35:52]angry and what does he do he punches him and he knocks

[35:56]out his eyes this is mentioned in the books he gets drunk

[36:02]this is this these are all passed on from the israeliyat we

[36:08]don't accept them they say this is in the Bible and then

[36:10]this these made their way into the books of the Muslims why

[36:16]because Umar when he was Khalifa he had a really close friend

[36:19]his name is was a man who was Jewish but he converted

[36:27]to Islam and he used to sit he he was given a

[36:30]platform he was the friend of the Khalifa he used to sit

[36:33]and he used to tell these Israelite stories so a lot of

[36:38]these stories that are biblical they made their way into our books

[36:42]into our books of Hadith so there's one example of course you

[36:49]have many others and they used to say and they used to

[36:52]say for example new this is the these stories are similar in

[36:54]the Bible no one day he was he got drunk and drunk

[36:59]and drunk then he slept and his private parts were showing so

[37:05]he has three sons some etic some you know semetic or the

[37:12]Arabs and the Israelites they're from Sam Sam ham and the office

[37:17]so uh ham I believe he is the they say he is

[37:24]the father of the Africans Psalm is the father of the Arabs

[37:29]and yaphath is the father of I don't know the Asians or

[37:31]something like that so they say that the other two they laughed

[37:38]at their father ham he laughed at his father so his father

[37:41]he does a dog against him and his sons and his progeny

[37:45]they all became black after that so it's race it's not only

[37:51]it's racist it's wrong it's immoral it's accusing the prophet of drinking

[37:54]it's accusing the prophet of being so drunk where his private parts

[37:57]are showing and his kids are laughing at him this is in

[38:01]the Bible this is not in our books but it's made its

[38:02]way into our books it's made it its way into our books

[38:09]can this be accepted for a prophet of God of course not

[38:12]we cannot accept this so we say that private life public life

[38:18]whatever it is the profits are infallible the prophets are Role Models

[38:22]Allah role models for us you have the best role model if

[38:33]rasulullah is our role model then why would we how could we

[38:38]divide his life into public when he's delivering the message and private

[38:42]his own home right now in bukhari and others of course A

[38:46]lot of these narrations they go back to Asha they say that

[38:51]one day there was a group of people a band a marching

[38:52]band they came in the Masjid of the prophet and they were

[38:57]jumping and dancing and doing their parade and the prophet he said

[39:00]yeah I'm not done come on just let them come and dance

[39:02]in the Masjid and the prophet had a window from his room

[39:06]from his house overlooking the Masjid so he carries his wife Asha

[39:13]so that she could look so that she could even watch is

[39:16]this something moral is this something they say the prophet he stands

[39:20]and he urinates in front of people is this something acceptable this

[39:25]is not acceptable but it's very unfortunate that the the prophet he

[39:31]did say but there are going to be a lot of people

[39:34]that are going to make up false narrations so we believe that

[39:40]the prophets private or public they did not commit sin okay so

[39:43]now what about what about um Adam eating from the tree what

[39:52]about Musa he pushes the person and and there are several instances

[39:56]where someone could probably bring out cases yunus Eunice he left his

[40:04]people Allah I'm every single one of these cases he comes and

[40:16]he clarifies it for example Adam when he ate from the tree

[40:23]where was he was there Halal and Haram where he ate from

[40:26]the tree there was no tashriya there's no laws to say I

[40:32]don't care go ahead and smoke I'm telling you this for your

[40:36]own good I'm telling you this for your own benefit it's not

[40:39]going to hurt me Allah here he tells the person this he

[40:45]tells Adam if you want to stay in heaven don't eat from

[40:47]the tree if you want to go to Earth eat from the

[40:50]tree so this is what happened it was a Haram halal Musa

[40:53]he pushes the man this was an accident musad was not trying

[40:58]to kill him and that man was a person who was from

[41:00]the enemies of prophet Musa that man probably had committed a lot

[41:08]of yunus when he escaped yes we have a concept that some

[41:11]Scholars they call tarkila meaning not doing the best remember we said

[41:18]prophets are in levels not all prophets are at the same level

[41:23]you have the Azam Prophets we did not see that he had

[41:29]the Azam he didn't he didn't have that strong willpower but does

[41:31]that mean he did he committed a sin no he didn't come

[41:35]out of sin but he didn't have that strong willpower that strong

[41:41]power that rasulullah and the other prophets they had Eunice when he

[41:45]left his people he also guided them and then he he left

[41:47]them he didn't do anything Haram because they refused to listen to

[41:54]him but Allah some people they they don't understand this verse correctly

[42:03]some people they understand it that we can't do anything to hurt

[42:09]him to defeat him this is not what it means it means

[42:11]meaning he thought that he's going to be totally safe he ended

[42:17]up being the one who went through a series of tests yes

[42:27]yes uh yes there are prophets there are there are prophets just

[42:35]because the Quran did not mention it does not mean that there

[42:39]isn't the Quran talks about Prophet Israelite Prophets The Quran talks about

[42:43]era prophets because it came down to this group of people perhaps

[42:46]Native Americans they might have had a prophet in Asia and other

[42:52]places there might have been prophets because the akal tells us that

[42:57]every Community every group of people must have had a a prophet

[42:59]a guide that shows people the way so here yes brother did

[43:09]you have go ahead go ahead but nowadays we would um we

[43:23]have an Imam which is muscle yes in a way that we

[43:32]we know he existed but we don't communication right that's why we

[43:36]go and follow the Maharaja and um I do know we have

[43:43]a variety of Maharaja right that they have different opinions some may

[43:48]say you know playing chess in all this stuff right plus then

[43:57]I mean one day I would I've done something that I consider

[44:08]my major I considered Halal but other more Japanese is that really

[44:13]fair because the whole purpose of following some someone you don't have

[44:18]to to be confused so now we're confused right so so the

[44:23]it's not absolute confusion will go away even during the time of

[44:28]rasulullah there were people that did not believe in the prophet or

[44:32]there are people that still did not know the truth the the

[44:34]whole point of God sending a prophet messenger is that the truth

[44:40]will not be lost eradicated meaning there has to always be Kalima

[44:46]to haq amongst everyone this is why one of when they talk

[44:51]about one of the principles of deriving Islamic law it's called jamaa

[44:57]what does mean they come and they say if you see everyone

[45:01]everyone the whole Muslim ummah is all United on one law that

[45:09]means this law must be the truth why because if there was

[45:13]opposition to it then you then it would not be a Jamaica

[45:18]and since everyone is united in it some Scholars they say we

[45:23]accept it because the Imam is within them so the Imam his

[45:28]job is if there's something wrong he would give his opinion either

[45:32]directly or indirectly through a murder through a system he would give

[45:38]his he would give his opinion to show that let there not

[45:41]be ijima on the wrong this is the job of the Imam

[45:47]now regarding regarding and different opinions and here and there this is

[45:52]Justified because you're following you're following who you think is the knowledgeable

[45:57]person they they all have access to the Imam they all have

[46:01]they all have access to the Imam either directly or indirectly maybe

[46:07]the Imam could in some way you know send them like we

[46:11]have narrations where foreign he was asked a question and in one

[46:15]way the Imam not in a direct way where he came and

[46:18]he told him this is the rule through an indirect way he

[46:25]let the find out that this has to be answered in this

[46:29]way later on after that interaction realized that that was the Imam

[46:34]that he had met so it doesn't mean that the the existence

[46:38]of the Imam that everyone will be on the haq during the

[46:41]time of Imam ADI there were a lot of people that were

[46:42]on the battle but the job of the Imam is that there

[46:46]has to be at least one person saying the truth what is

[46:52]if I'm following some some merger and he's making mistake they all

[46:55]can be right this is for sure right they can't owe me

[46:59]right yeah so if I'm following having football with the wrong one

[47:03]it's not my responsibility so yeah it's not your responsibility as long

[47:08]as you follow the based on the right criteria you didn't follow

[47:12]someone oh because this person is easy or this person is this

[47:14]and that no you actually there's a list of Maharaja right now

[47:19]if you follow those it's like right now if I go to

[47:24]a dentist there's there's 40 50 dentists in the area maybe one

[47:27]of them is going to do something that's not right maybe someone's

[47:29]gonna pull out the wrong tooth or something but I go to

[47:33]the dentist because they have the credentials as long as I did

[47:36]that then then that's fine but the job of the Imam is

[47:40]is that we we believe that the Imam is his job is

[47:46]to not allow meaning consensus on the wrong if there if everyone

[47:52]if we're all United on the wrong imagine if all the shias

[47:57]in the world were all United on something that's wrong will there

[48:00]be on the wrong no because the Imam he'll voiced his opinion

[48:04]either directly or indirectly yes Hajj what about the other like for

[48:16]example in China what about the Chinese people do they have invest

[48:19]a message from Imam of Xavier so as we mentioned when we

[48:27]talked about the justice of God Allah judges everyone based on their

[48:31]own knowledge based on their own understanding and Allah sends a a

[48:35]type of guidance to everyone right now perhaps your way of learning

[48:41]about Islam your way of being guided us through the internet no

[48:45]one we live in an era especially right now we live in

[48:49]the era of information maybe there could be a prophet that's somewhere

[48:53]or Imam somewhere but Imam media will make the information reach you

[48:56]and you're on the other side of the world it's very possible

[49:00]through the internet through other means through satellites but we believe that

[49:04]Allah sends prophets and Messengers so that people at least in that

[49:12]community in that Society in that country not everyone will be United

[49:16]on the wrong there has to be one person who says the

[49:17]word of the truth yes Okay so when it comes to when

[49:26]it comes to and I will conclude with this when it comes

[49:31]to the quranic verses that might suggest that the prophets did something

[49:35]for example he frowned and he turned his face what do the

[49:43]nunchata say who do they say this is about they say there's

[49:47]about rasulullah he frowned and he turned his face when a poor

[49:49]person came to him is this accepted we can't accept this so

[49:54]here when it comes to the tafsir of the Quran who's the

[49:59]one who has the legitimate authority to do tafsir for us the

[50:03]prophet and the imams of the Allah says in the Quran that

[50:08]there are some verses in the Quran who Allah and this is

[50:12]in Surat um Allah says there is verses the mother of the

[50:38]book these verses you can't change them Allah the intelligent person the

[50:43]non-intelligent person the one who it's clear for everyone but then there

[50:50]are other verses there are verses that are not so clear there

[50:53]are verses that are ambiguous some people they come and they take

[51:06]the ambiguous verses like for example Adam disobeyed his Lord or something

[51:13]you know they take these kind of verses they come and they

[51:15]change the meaning they either take the literal meaning or they give

[51:20]it its own definition and then what happens they change the beliefs

[51:24]that's not what was the intended message of the Quran the Allah

[51:27]sent the Quran but he also sent prophets the prophets and the

[51:33]guides and the imams to show us and explain to us the

[51:36]Quran yes brother no it could be even yeah there are some

[51:55]things that are Haram for some that are not Haram for others

[51:59]but at the end of the day this is Justified if you

[52:02]are following a merger and you are you know that this merger

[52:07]is someone who is qualified they have the credentials at the end

[52:12]of the day this is their understanding of the faith so this

[52:15]is what we discussed regarding the prophets inshallah in the next session

[52:19]we will talk about the imams any other questions about the prophets

[52:22]yes brother yes no their whole life we believe that a prophet

[52:37]a prophet is a prophet even before it it becomes very apparent

[52:44]the prophet is chosen by Allah then there's a time that Allah

[52:51]announces their prophethood but they're always prophets and they're always pure and

[52:54]purified by Allah yes yes sister yes go ahead and then you

[53:03]okay that he was created for earth right yes so it was

[53:15]not like uh punishment for him to go to the Earth he

[53:21]meant to go there exactly that was the overall the the wisdom

[53:24]behind creating and the reason behind creating Adam was that eventually he

[53:29]has to come down to earth it was just a matter of

[53:34]timing for him and then also you know like I was listening

[53:36]to One good lecture there was a point that whatever the action

[53:42]the Givens Prophet did it was the best action at that time

[53:46]it was a what compared to anybody else he did the best

[53:59]thing at that period of time yeah we have narrations that say

[54:05]the prophets of God or the Hajj of Allah during their time

[54:07]they always do that which is best during their time yes exactly

[54:14]yes thank you sister yes sister ways that is a Revelations to

[54:23]you so how zebra is Allah would inform would order to do

[54:33]something there's a there's also a way where Allah speaks to the

[54:36]angels perhaps they hear a sound as well or some in some

[54:42]way yes the Quran tells us how the angels have a dialogue

[54:45]with Allah maybe maybe it comes in their hearts maybe they understand

[54:59]it in some way the Allah could Allah could speak to individuals

[55:04]Angels Animals like the bees so Allah speaks to them in their

[55:11]own way in different ways because the human being that's why Allah

[55:31]communicated the message because so for us on Allah sometimes it was

[55:36]directly on his heart sometimes it was through Jabra in in his

[55:41]Grand and his Grand future they say that the first time came

[55:47]in his Angelic form which they say his wings they cover the

[55:55]horizons sometimes jibril would come in a figure of a human being

[55:59]there was a man a good looking man from the sahaba his

[56:02]name is sometimes the the Muslims they would say the prophet speaking

[56:08]to this man and then when he goes he says I was

[56:10]speaking to jibrate so jibril was was with me and sometimes it

[56:15]would be through a dream as well so rasulullah he had multiple

[56:19]ways of Allah speaking to him because he had access to always

[56:21]but there were other prophets that would only be in dreams there

[56:26]were other prophets that would only have the intuition depending on how

[56:30]high their level is okay how many pro how many Russells there

[56:38]were out of the many prophets I believe I saw a number

[56:44]like 313 there there's also there's also uh many narrations regarding this

[56:49]but I believe um I saw a narration that says 313 Russians

[56:53]out of the 313 Messengers out of the prophets this is one

[56:59]number and there are other numbers some of some of the narrations

[57:01]are kind of not uh they're not all at the same number

[57:06]but yes there were there were a significant number of them were

[57:10]messengers of Allah yes sister issues so you said that although they

[57:18]were not again yes they were muhadin the family of the prophets

[57:26]and we believe that rasulullah for sure because they're they're they're the

[57:31]fathers of the imams their fathers were pure they were tahar they

[57:38]were Believers in God some they add that they were prophets as

[57:42]well now that's put that aside but either whether you accept their

[57:45]prophets or not we believe that the ancestors of the prophets and

[57:49]even and this is also an issue of dispute amongst Muslims because

[57:53]right now there are some they narrate Hadith from the prophet that

[58:01]his father and Abu Talib are in Hellfire they keep repeating this

[58:05]they come and they say of fire and his brain is being

[58:12]boiled by the just because he's the father of Imam Ali they

[58:14]don't say this about the father of any of the other sahaba

[58:18]but because he's the father of this is you always hear this

[58:21]being repeated took in the prophet he helped the prophet so we

[58:26]believe that these were all muhadin all the way until Ibrahim the

[58:32]ancestors of the prophet those who who They carried at one time

[58:36]They Carried rasulullah and they passed them on Allah says and you

[58:42]were passed on and the loins of those who are the prostrators

[58:48]those who used to prostrate to Allah they were on the religion

[58:58]of either on the religion of Isa that's the religion and that

[59:08]was a religion of tahit religion of worshiping and praying to God

[59:11]and that's what they used to do yes they never worshiped idols

[59:13]and Mecca Mecca originally was not an idol worshiping City it was

[59:18]established by Ibrahim over time they started introducing Idols yes sister yes

[59:30]yes we believe that the ancestors of the added bait they were

[59:36]pure yes
