[0:02]muham muhamad so tonight inshallah we will be concluding the course and

[0:11]we will be discussing the only um branch of the faith that

[0:22]we have not discussed from the 10 and that is Jihad now

[0:27]Jihad is one that there's a lot of misconceptions about there's a

[0:31]lot of lack of knowledge about and a lot of people don't

[0:39]know what Jihad is and what Jihad means and what are the

[0:43]rules and conditions of jihad so to begin the Arabic word Jihad

[0:51]it means to do what to do what to suffer okay what

[0:58]else to struggle to strive yes so if you're watching the news

[1:07]or if you see what those who are against Islam when they

[1:12]talk about Jihad the first thing they say is holy war Jihad

[1:17]does not mean holy war Jihad means to struggle so there's different

[1:23]types of struggles and during the life of the prophet he divided

[1:29]the struggles into two the greater Jad and the Lesser Jihad the

[1:34]greater Jihad is one type of jihad and the Lesser Jihad is

[1:41]another type of jihad the greater Jihad is the internal struggle to

[1:45]be Pious and to be a good Muslim so as a Muslim

[1:50]as a Believer don't you don't you struggle every day as a

[1:57]Believer don't you strive every day we strive all the time and

[2:02]this is um just a second this is um someone's asking about

[2:09]the meeting password are you able to join the I didn't get

[2:13]a meeting password just a second there should be no meeting password

[2:26]okay okay so the greater Jihad is the Jihad of the NS

[2:35]and the Lesser Jihad is the Jihad that has to do with

[2:42]fighting and self-defense and there was an incident with the prophet sallam

[2:47]where one day after the Muslims came back from a battle and

[2:54]it was a very exhausting very difficult battle for the Muslims and

[2:59]sahu alaih told the Muslims now you just finished the smaller Jihad

[3:05]you have the greater Jihad ahead of you so this scared many

[3:08]of the Muslims they said what do you we just went we

[3:12]just came back from Battle some people were killed some people were

[3:15]injured that was the greater Jad what what do we have that's

[3:17]ahead of us that's even greater and even more difficult than what

[3:23]we just endured and tells them to struggle with your NPS to

[3:28]struggle with yourself maybe I could I could force other people if

[3:34]I have strength if I'm strong like I am I could come

[3:39]and force other people to do certain things but who's going to

[3:42]control me who's going to control my ego who's going to control

[3:49]my desires that requires Jihad that requires a struggle so said the

[3:55]greatest Jihad is the Jihad against your own evil desires and it

[4:01]is incumbent upon us to strive in the cause of Allah to

[4:05]better our surroundings and ourselves so that we are able to endure

[4:09]in this struggle in this Jihad because every day some people their

[4:15]Jihad is waking up and praying fud prayer some people their Jihad

[4:19]is to be kind to their parents some people their Jihad is

[4:23]to make sure they don't look at Haram some people their Jihad

[4:28]is to not engage in Haram relationships so everyone has a Jihad

[4:32]everyone has a struggle that they endure that they deal with on

[4:38]a daily basis and that is much more difficult and much more

[4:41]severe than Jihad which is fighting and some people they just want

[4:44]to fight in the way of Allah now the Lesser Jihad is

[4:51]the Jihad that has to do with combat that has to do

[4:58]with fighting and of course this is not always allowed there this

[5:03]is not always okay there are some conditions There are rules but

[5:08]this Islam is a practical religion you know today sometimes you hear

[5:14]some people they come and they say Islam is the religion of

[5:18]Peace this is a good statement to say but does Allah subhanahu

[5:24]wa ta'ala want me to be at peace with people who are

[5:25]fighting me am I supposed to be at peace with people who

[5:30]are fighting in me there are some people they're passive meaning let

[5:34]me just keep getting hit and let me stay quiet let me

[5:38]not do anything this is not what Islam tells us to do

[5:42]Islam tells me to not attack not hurt not abuse not assault

[5:45]but if someone is if someone is hurting me if someone is

[5:49]taking my rights I have the right and I have the duty

[5:54]to defend myself and that is Jihad to defend yourself to defend

[5:57]your property to defend your land to defend that which you believe

[6:04]in and here this is This falls in the category of the

[6:07]Lesser Jihad and this is the external or defense and protection of

[6:11]Islam and Muslims and it is obligatory for us to defend our

[6:16]religion when it is in danger but we should never be the

[6:18]aggressors so there were times in Islamic history where had to engage

[6:27]in this type of jihad the Jihad that had to do with

[6:30]combat and fighting the prophet today some people they come and they

[6:36]say spread the religion with the sword and with fighting no the

[6:39]prophet did not do that the prophet for 13 years he lived

[6:41]in Mecca he was persecuted he was assaulted he was harassed he

[6:47]did not do anything then when he migrated to Medina he didn't

[6:50]do anything he was starting his own Community then the people of

[6:56]qur they came all the way and they waged a war against

[6:58]the prophet the Battle of bad and then the Battle of and

[7:03]the Battle of and these battles they were defensive battles or they

[7:07]had their own reason and another very important point is that the

[7:14]religion of Islam does not tell people to spread the religion with

[7:17]the sword so can we go to the next slide there are

[7:23]three verses I want to look at which really help clear out

[7:26]a lot of misconception and if you have any questions regarding these

[7:30]please be um don't be afraid of asking so one verse in

[7:40]Surah 5 verse 32 Allah subhana wa tala says in the Quran

[7:56]whoever who's who's ever k kills a a human being for other

[8:03]than manslaughter or corruption in the earth it shall be as if

[8:06]he had killed all mankind and whoever saves the life of one

[8:12]it is as if he has saved all of mankind so what

[8:15]does this mean this means today there are some people they come

[8:20]and they say I want to do Jihad I want to spread

[8:23]the message of Islam and I go and I kill people is

[8:25]that allowed in Islam it's not allowed there are some groups that

[8:31]claim that they know about Islam for example a few years ago

[8:34]how many of you had heard of Isis a group of people

[8:37]they came and they wanted to declare their own Islamic State and

[8:41]they started just killing people that's not how it works or before

[8:44]that the Taliban and many other terrorist groups that would do that

[8:52]would carry out these acts but this is something that is not

[8:57]right meaning if you kill anyone innocently this person has not done

[9:01]anything or you're causing corruption in the land then it's as if

[9:07]you have killed all of mankind Allah doesn't say if you've killed

[9:11]a Muslim or a m or no a soul and whoever helps

[9:18]preserve a life it's as if they have preserved all of mankind

[9:21]this is one so that means fighting for no reason is not

[9:29]allowed in Islam second Allah subhana tala Allah says in the Quran

[9:38]there is no compulsion in religion that means can you force religion

[9:45]upon someone no so today what's our reply to those who say

[9:51]the prophet he fought Wars and the religion of Islam was spread

[9:55]by the sword does anyone have an answer yes tell them they're

[10:04]wrong yes so how are they wrong they're wrong in that was

[10:10]not fighting to spread the religion was fighting for self-defense was fighting

[10:17]because someone was causing FNA was fighting for other reasons the prophet

[10:22]was not forcing religion upon communities this is why when the prophet

[10:26]migrated to Medina he told the Jews there were groups of Jews

[10:28]that were living in Medina he tells them you practice your religion

[10:31]there are Christians that had made a that had made an agreement

[10:37]to live with the Muslims and the prophet lived at peace with

[10:40]them and the Muslims had to give zakat and the non-muslims give

[10:43]jizya which is a type of zakat and and while the non-muslims

[10:48]from the Jews and the Christians were living under the flag of

[10:52]Islam and under the Islamic government if they are attacked if they

[10:55]are if war is waged on them by anyone else it is

[10:59]the duty of the Muslims to defend them and fight for them

[11:03]so there's no compulsion in religion third verse that I wanted to

[11:13]look at is umah Toba Surah 9 verse 6 Allah says in

[11:15]the Quran today some people come and say okay you Muslim you're

[11:31]good with you're good with um the people of the book Christians

[11:34]and the Jews but if someone's a idol worshipper then you would

[11:39]fight them and you don't respect their life no Allah subhana tala

[11:42]says in this verse and if anyone of the polytheists seeks your

[11:46]protection then Grant him protection so that he may hear the words

[11:49]of Allah then deliver him to his place of safety so a

[11:54]lot of people either they don't understand or they have bad intentions

[11:58]when they talk about Islam and they try to give Islam a

[12:03]bad image when we look at the Quran we see that Islam

[12:05]is not a religion that just tells people to go and fight

[12:12]next slide please okay so if there is fighting if there is

[12:18]war Jihad in the sense of fighting is it just anytime it's

[12:22]allowed no there are conditions the first condition is that Jihad and

[12:29]fighting needs to be with the permission of the Imam or the

[12:37]representative of the Imam that means not just any Muslim could come

[12:41]and say okay these are non-muslims over there they're fighting us they're

[12:45]Waging War against us then I'm going to go and fight them

[12:50]no because sometimes the right thing to do is not fight sometimes

[12:53]the right thing to do is to try to find through diplomacy

[12:56]try to find Solutions allow the leadership to come and find Solutions

[13:00]it's not just up to anyone's right to go and go and

[13:04]say okay they're non-muslims they're fighting us they're taking this then therefore

[13:09]I'm going to go and fight them no this not allowed and

[13:12]there are rules especially when you're living in communities there are some

[13:16]people that are like okay I'm living in a non-muslim country and

[13:20]they're fighting the Muslims all the way in the Middle East that

[13:24]means I could go and fight them no the no scholar allows

[13:27]that and there are rules and there are restrictions when it's allowed

[13:32]and it needs to be with the permission of the IM or

[13:34]the representative of the Im so I'll give you an example of

[13:39]when this happened would there a permission of the IM okay IM

[13:42]Ali the Battle of sa the Battle of jam and the battles

[13:47]of the battle ofan told his people let's go out and fight

[13:51]on the day of IM Hussein told people Jihad is allowed right

[13:56]now but then for example there were other times where the imams

[13:58]did not allow people ble to fight there were people that would

[14:05]come to him and they would tell him look what and then

[14:07]came to power they tell them look what they're doing all the

[14:10]corruption all the fighting we have a 100,000 soldiers that are willing

[14:15]to listen to you sad says no this is not the time

[14:17]and he didn't allow them to that's it he didn't allow them

[14:22]to and Imam sad did not join any of the movements that

[14:26]were raising arms for example one of them was Z Ali Z

[14:33]the the son of IM Z the brother of IM the uncle

[14:35]of IM Z he carried his sword and he fought Bena and

[14:40]he was killed sad he did not he did he did not

[14:44]go and tell Zade not to fight but he told his people

[14:48]if you're following me then no I'm not going to be involved

[14:51]in this and there were other movements there were other movements um

[14:56]that were that were were going and engaging in battle and the

[15:03]IMs of the they did not they did not allow them and

[15:08]they did not join in that movement so and then sometimes you

[15:13]see that this permission is passed on to the representative of the

[15:18]Im so right now for example our the the scholars they are

[15:26]the general representatives of the Im so if issues the fatwa for

[15:33]Jihad then the if you follow that then it would be okay

[15:37]for you to to fight for example um in 1920 in Iraq

[15:45]the United Kingdom the the the British after World War I they

[15:50]conquered Iraq and the scholars the scholars of Naf and the scholars

[15:58]of carala and the scholars of the hza they issued a fatwa

[16:01]against the British that were basically they were um colonizing and they

[16:08]were taking over Iraq so they issued a fatwa of jihad and

[16:11]the Muslims and the Shia they went and they fought them and

[16:15]they kicked out the British out of Iraq in 1920 similarly you

[16:20]see in 2014 2014 to 2016 when Isis they took over Syria

[16:25]and they took over Iraq and they built the they wanted to

[16:30]build that Islamic State and you see the scholars in Iraq for

[16:35]example Satani he issued a fatwa he tells people now it is

[16:42]okay for anyone who wants he didn't make it mandatory on them

[16:44]he said whoever wants whoever is able to carry arms then you

[16:51]are allowed to carry arms and fight D and fight Isis and

[16:53]this is what happened they began the movement where they were able

[16:59]to kick out Isis because of that F so this is with

[17:01]the permission of the IM this is the first condition second Jihad

[17:06]needs to be in selfdefense you're not allowed to go and occupy

[17:10]you're not allowed to go and enforce your religion enforce your beliefs

[17:15]upon people and when we look at we see Al his movements

[17:21]they were all out of self-defense and either self-defense or it brings

[17:29]us to the next uh the third and fourth um reasons but

[17:35]self-defense Allah subhana wa tala says in the Quran fight in the

[17:38]cause of Allah against those who wage war against you but do

[17:40]not exceed do not exceed the limits Allah does not like the

[17:55]transgressors this means if you are if someone is not fighting you

[18:01]someone's at peace with you they're not doing anything you have an

[18:05]agreement with them you're living in the same country as them and

[18:08]they're not at war with you then you have no right to

[18:13]fight them only those who are fighting you only those who are

[18:17]Waging War against you and this means that you're not allowed to

[18:23]go and do anything that is an act of terrorizing others or

[18:28]or Waging War against others especially those who are not fighting you

[18:33]no you're not allowed to now yes sometimes some people they come

[18:35]and they take verses out of the Quran some people they take

[18:42]verses out of the Quran and they try to mislead people using

[18:45]those verses in the Quran when Allah subhana wa tala says in

[18:52]the Quran Allah says in the Quran um and fight them and

[18:57]and kill them wherever you see them some people they like see

[19:00]look look at what your religion says says wherever you see the

[19:03]kufar you go have you have you guys seen that before yes

[19:06]so what what is this talking about this is talking about in

[19:10]the middle of war in the middle of the battle it's not

[19:14]talking about oh I just a stranger and I go and I

[19:18]fight this person no if if their battle has begun then it

[19:21]would be then it would be um allowed but other than that

[19:26]it is not allowed so this is one in self-defense just like

[19:29]the prophet fought in self-defense in the Battle of bad in the

[19:31]Battle of and in several other battles the prophet was defending himself

[19:38]in the battle ofab or the Battle of third reason Islam goes

[19:44]a l Islam says you have the duty to protect your dignity

[19:48]and your honor and your Kama someone is coming and Tak kicking

[19:52]you out of your home someone is fighting you you have the

[19:54]right to defend and it goes a level further it say if

[20:00]someone bothering another another person another weak person they can't defend themselves

[20:06]you are allowed to intervene and you're allowed to defend that other

[20:10]person so in defense of the oppressed and Allah says in the

[20:14]Quran [Music] oh they say our Lord Deliver Us from the land

[20:33]of oppressors appoint for us saviors appoint for us a helper all

[20:41]by your grace so Allah says in the Quran why don't you

[20:43]fight in the way of God and in the way of those

[20:49]who are oppressed so this is also sometimes when um when it

[20:53]makes it a legitimate reason to engage in War of course it

[21:00]would still need the permission of the Imam it would still need

[21:03]the permission of the Imam in all these conditions and the fourth

[21:06]reason is to stop the FNA to stop the conspiracy and the

[21:13]oppression maybe someone is going in destroying the fabric of society you

[21:18]come and you are allowed to stop this person because Allah says

[21:22]in the Quran fight against them if they persecute you until there

[21:27]is fight against them if they persecute you until there is no

[21:41]more persecution and your devotion will be to Allah alone if they

[21:44]stop persecuting you then let there be no hostility except against the

[21:49]aggressors so the verses of the Quran are very clear they're not

[21:55]ones that tell people go and fight and cause suffering and and

[21:59]pain and you're allowed to you're just supposed to defend yourself or

[22:04]defend others or someone who's causing F so who did the prophet

[22:07]engage in battles with first of all today some people they come

[22:10]and they say oh look what B did look what the Ottomans

[22:14]did look what B abas did look what the khalifas did after

[22:19]the prophets we come and we say those khalifas they're not representative

[22:24]of Islam IM Hussein was killed by someone who claimed to be

[22:28]representative of Islam you want to you want to talk about Islam

[22:30]as a religion or you want to talk about Muslims if you

[22:33]want to talk about Muslims not all Muslims are repres represent Islam

[22:37]just like not all Christians represent uh Christian Christianity and not all

[22:44]Jews represent Judaism but if you want to talk about Islam let's

[22:47]look at let's look at IM Ali and let's look at the

[22:51]IMs of the those are the ones who we tell people are

[22:52]representative of Islam this is the sh answer the Sunni answer well

[22:58]those they've accepted others as we say listen that's why in the

[23:01]beginning we said those people they don't represent the prophet you accept

[23:04]you chose them as representative of the Prophet now you have to

[23:08]go and defend their actions we don't defend their actions we say

[23:12]those those actions are not are not the the conquest that took

[23:16]that took place by the Cs after after um Al we don't

[23:22]accept them this is why IM Ali when he came to power

[23:26]IM Ali did not have any Conquest when Omar came to to

[23:29]rule he went and he took over Iraq and Persia they come

[23:33]today they're like oh look how great he was because he spread

[23:35]the Muslim land Amir said no let's focus on the Muslims and

[23:41]he wasn't he wasn't focused on conquest of the Muslim land so

[23:48]There Are Rules of Engagement and we see that the imams of

[23:54]theit and Allah they were the ones who knew what the rules

[23:57]of engagement were and what the laws were and when is it

[24:02]appropriate and when is it not appropriate go to the next slide

[24:04]please I want to mention a Hadith from in which he talks

[24:10]about some of the Rules of Engagement in the battle because this

[24:14]this this is something very important for us to know because right

[24:17]now we live in a time where people they make Islam look

[24:21]like it's a religion of Terror it's a religion of fighting religion

[24:26]of Bloodshed but go and look at the Prophet when you look

[24:31]at and you look at the religion of Islam you will see

[24:34]it is very far from that and then when you go and

[24:37]you look at what others are doing right now for example what's

[24:39]going on in Palestine what's going on with the people with the

[24:45]in Lebanon what's going on in the Middle East you see it's

[24:48]not the Muslims that are burning people alive it's not the Muslims

[24:51]that are causing the suffering and the pain and the atrocities so

[24:59]There Are Rules of Engagement in a he says um when he

[25:04]wanted to send out people to fight so before he sends them

[25:06]out to fight he gives them rules he called them and he

[25:12]bid them um to sit before him he then said to them

[25:16]go out in the name of Allah and by Allah and in

[25:18]the way of Allah and according to the religion of the messenger

[25:23]of Allah meaning that this is what you're do this is why

[25:28]you're doing it you're not doing it because you want wealth or

[25:29]you want oil or you want money or you want gold or

[25:33]you want other things so this is why you're doing it and

[25:36]second do not handcuff or tie up the prisoners of War meaning

[25:42]if someone becomes a prisoner of war you're not even allowed to

[25:45]handcuff this person in a way where you're hurting this person do

[25:49]not mutilate the dead says he says you cannot mutilate not even

[25:59]a dog you can't mutilate the body of a dog okay and

[26:04]do not betray people meaning if someone came and told you I

[26:07]don't want to fight you anymore even if it's in the middle

[26:11]of the battle you have to stop the fighting he had a

[26:17]companion who he came after the battle ended he came and he

[26:20]told while we were fighting suddenly the man he said in the

[26:26]middle of the battle he dropped his sword and said the the

[26:30]man he said but I continued and I killed him so Allah

[26:34]told the man what you did was very wrong why did you

[26:36]go ahead and kill him how do you know what's in his

[26:39]heart do you know what's in his heart so he says um

[26:45]do not mutilate and do not betray do not kill the old

[26:50]man the child or the woman and do not cut down a

[26:52]single tree except when you are forced to do so and if

[27:00]any Muslim if any Muslim be he lofty or lowly gives a

[27:03]man of the polytheist sanctuary then his safety must be secured meaning

[27:10]if another Muslim gave a cfir a polytheist Aman Sanctuary then that

[27:15]is secured so that he hears the words of Allah if he

[27:17]follows you then he is your brother in religion if he refuses

[27:22]then give him his sanctuary and seek the help of Allah regarding

[27:25]him look how be beautiful the religion of Islam is all of

[27:30]these rules it shows how beautiful and merciful the religion of Islam

[27:35]is so these are some of the rules of uh engagement when

[27:41]it comes to when it comes to um when it comes to

[27:48]Jihad in the way of Allah other than that Islam tells people

[27:52]live at peace with others and if you're able to forgive if

[27:58]you're able to live exist with others then this is what you

[28:01]have to do so so here we see that we see that

[28:08]these are the rules of jihad in Islam other than that anyone

[28:12]who comes and they want to do anything else otherwise then that

[28:18]is not allowed and that is unacceptable so now we will take

[28:21]in some questions regarding Jihad before we conclude and then we begin

[28:30]the cahoot in any any questions regarding Jihad I know you have

[28:38]sisters what about jads okay so with this we are concluding the

[28:52]session on um on the 10 and inshallah we all learned and

[29:06]we all um know what the branches of the faith are
