[0:00]and so given that it's going to be my last speech in

[0:04]the month of Ramadan um I am overcome with feelings of Sadness

[0:10]and Sorrow because that's something that you yearn for that's something that

[0:15]you long for even if it gets tiring at the end of

[0:17]the month but it's a blessing from Allah subhah wa ta'ala but

[0:22]on the other hand alhamdulillah I thank Allah for giving us the

[0:25]opportunity to get together to learn from one another and I know

[0:31]we're all looking forward to to theid and I'm also looking forward

[0:33]to going back to the city of Naf my family's there I've

[0:35]been away from them for about a month now so I do

[0:40]have mixed feelings sadness and happiness at the same time alhamdulillah thank

[0:45]you so much for you know those beautiful and insightful lectures and

[0:49]I'm sure everyone in this room and Beyond will be looking forward

[0:52]to your next trip to Dearborn inshallah sometime soon look forward to

[0:59]it as well inshallah all right well we'll begin with the questions

[1:04]for tonight inshallah the first uh 15 minutes or so we'll take

[1:07]uh questions if anyone has um and inshallah we can take it

[1:12]from there so we'll take uh a question can you explain in

[1:14]10 seconds what is meant by F questions maybe some might not

[1:19]be aware of that of course thank you for kind of sounds

[1:21]a little bit intimidating when you say question so any questions that

[1:24]you know any questions regarding Salah whether something's Halal or Haram uh

[1:30]that's what we mean by so basically anything that pertains to a

[1:36]ruling of something um yeah so Islamic rulings whether family law whether

[1:41]Salah and business law anything that has to do with Islamic rulings

[1:46]in we'll take us there I know there's a question yeah okay

[1:53]no no in the back yes Salam alaykum um my question is

[2:03]regarding um humus and the say briefly talked about it or mentioned

[2:09]it um in today's lecture but my question with humus is what

[2:12]is the proper way for Our Generation to go about humus I

[2:15]understand that there are some you know online sites that say it's

[2:21]about 20% of our income and that we also have to pay

[2:23]on our clothes or things that we don't use and so especially

[2:29]with the economy today and with may be family struggling are we

[2:34]able to not pay humus or what are the proper ways to

[2:40]payus um since that's a topic that maybe not many people know

[2:43]about thank you for that question technically linguistically means 1 which means

[2:52]20% now when you think of 20% of giving your wealth away

[3:00]that sounds very scary and in fact you might even have a

[3:02]heart attack when you think of giving 20% of your money away

[3:07]but in reality it's much less than 20% when you actually have

[3:10]to give the it could be 1% it could be 2% sometimes

[3:14]you don't even have to pay anys so briefly how does it

[3:16]works applies to net profit net income not the income but net

[3:23]income I'll give you an example let's say you started 2023 with

[3:30]$10,000 in your savings you started the year with $10,000 throughout the

[3:38]year 2023 you made money you spent you had expenses your food

[3:42]your house your transportation your travels any Halal expense at the end

[3:48]of the year when 2024 started let's say now you have 12,000

[3:52]left you made $50,000 in that year but you spent most of

[3:58]it so now you are left with $112,000 compared to last year

[4:05]how much do you have more $2,000 so now the applies on

[4:12]what figure the $2,000 which is let's say $400 now remember you

[4:15]made $50,000 during that year right but you spent $48,000 you're only

[4:25]left with 2,000 that you did not spend so the 20% is

[4:30]is on this 2,000 not the 50,000 and let's say you spent

[4:36]all the money that you made you made $50,000 this year and

[4:40]you spent $50,000 even do you pay anys no that's the first

[4:47]part what about unused items in your house like unused clothes if

[4:52]you purchased clothes with money that you've paid on so let's say

[4:59]$2,000 you were left with so you paid how much did you

[5:05]pay 400 how much are you left with 1,600 with the 1600

[5:10]if you bought any clothes you don't have to pay on them

[5:13]again even if you don't use them for 10 years you don't

[5:17]have to pay any on them again why because you purchased the

[5:20]clothes with what's called money money that you've already paid on now

[5:28]this is maybe not a common scenario the common scenario is to

[5:32]buy clothes from your paycheck you got your paycheck today $4,000 so

[5:36]you go and you say okay I have expenses I'm going to

[5:41]buy a new suit you bought a suit in July you did

[5:45]not use it you did not wear it August came September came

[5:52]October came November December your date came which by the way you

[5:55]need to assign a date it could be the day you started

[5:57]your job it could be the new year whatever you choose a

[6:01]date for yourself so that every single year you know how much

[6:04]you have to pays so let's say your date came and you

[6:10]did not wear your suit technically if you did not wear your

[6:15]suit is it an expense it's not an expense because you didn't

[6:19]use it so you have to estimate the market value of the

[6:25]suit on the day of paying your hes not the per the

[6:29]the price that you bought it for let's say you bought a

[6:32]suit for $500 but now on January 1 when your date came

[6:38]the market value of that suit is only $200 meaning right now

[6:40]if you wanted to sell it on eBay or somewhere else how

[6:45]much would it go for $200 you pay on the $200 so

[6:49]unused items like that in the house that you did not use

[6:55]in your here they are not considered an expense and because they're

[6:59]not considered an expense you would have to pay on them these

[7:03]are the simple rulings of does that make sense okay we can

[7:09]go to the next question now one follow-up question regarding that so

[7:14]let's say you know someone buys that suit a week before the

[7:17]their Kus date the their Kus annual day do they have to

[7:23]pay Kus on that suit for example if you bought the suit

[7:27]a week before your date but you didn't use it yet it's

[7:30]it's just like cash that you didn't use it's not an expense

[7:36]an expense is when you use something when you haven't used it

[7:39]it's brand new you haven't touched it you have not taken it

[7:41]to let's say a celebration to use it you would still have

[7:45]to pay on it yes it was just like you didn't buy

[7:49]it you you had cash in the in the bank all right

[7:54]we'll take a question from the brothers so if I want to

[8:09]follow a do I follow him if I like what he has

[8:11]or do I follow him from my research masah that's a very

[8:18]cute question an excellent one too an excellent an excellent one asent

[8:22]so let's say now you're about to become obligated M or you

[8:28]already became obligated in Islamic law and you want to choose a

[8:31]mer do you choose a mer that you like their rulings they're

[8:39]easy for instance or do you have to choose a mer who

[8:42]is known to be the most qualified and the most knowledgeable when

[8:50]it comes to following a mer we don't go by what I

[8:52]like we don't go by our preferences you know I want to

[8:58]follow this Mar because he comes from this country or from this

[9:00]background or he speaks this language or because I like that particular

[9:06]fatwa I love it I can't resist you know that thing which

[9:09]he believes isan and other scholars believe it's Haram we cannot choose

[9:14]a based on that standard the correct rational standard is to ask

[9:20]trusted people in the community like Scholars or if your parents are

[9:24]experts you can ask them who is known to be a scholar

[9:30]a mer who's an expert in Islamic law he's demonstrated deep knowledge

[9:34]in Islamic law and he seems to be the most knowledgeable once

[9:38]you ask trusted sources and they recommend let's say a mer you

[9:46]can follow that so basically that's how it works it's like I'm

[9:49]we going to a doctor if you go to a doctor are

[9:54]you concerned about the experience and the knowledge of the doctor or

[9:57]well of the nice clothes that the doctor is wearing that day

[10:01]for instance or let's say you support X team on the Super

[10:05]Bowl and the doctor supports that same team y let me go

[10:07]to that doctor is that how we choose a surgeon if we

[10:12]have a very important surgery coming up exactly we go by experience

[10:15]so as long as it's proven to you by asking trusted people

[10:21]who has very good experience in Islamic law in legal studies and

[10:25]understanding the Quran and the Hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi and

[10:29]his family that would be sufficient thank you for that wonderful answer

[10:34]s we'll take two more questions we'll take one from the brothers

[10:39]and one from the sisters there's a very important verse in the

[11:02]Holy Quran that states on this day theat the good Pleasant halal

[11:11]foods have been made lawful to you and then Allah subh States

[11:22]and the food of the people of the book meaning the Christians

[11:29]and the Jews their food has been made lawful to you how

[11:34]do we understand this verse Scholars have different understandings you will find

[11:42]some Scholars especially Sunni Scholars they say based on this verse the

[11:46]meat and the food of Christians and Jews is halal because Allah

[11:50]says in the Holy Quran and there are sun Scholars who have

[11:55]given a fatwa that if you buy meat from a Christian from

[11:59]a Jew a Jew or Christian you know they invite you to

[12:02]their house and according to their standards the meat is halal you

[12:08]can eat that why because of this verse in the school of

[12:13]we have a different understanding of this verse we have aith from

[12:22]IM from that explains what is meant by here today when you

[12:27]say the word in Arabic what does the word mean in Arabic

[12:33]today meal or food which type of food any type of food

[12:39]right is anything that you eat it's called but if you go

[12:46]to the old lexicons and Arabic dictionaries like by it's like the

[12:54]most comprehensive dictionary or lexicon that we have and the Hadith the

[13:00]Hadith of IM during the time when the Quran was revealed in

[13:05]hij meaning in Mecca and Medina when you set what did mean

[13:10]at the time what's B in Arabic seeds or wheat which are

[13:19]called the in Arabic so at the time of Revelation did not

[13:26]refer to meat meat would not be called in Arabic the people

[13:29]of hij the Arabs in hij would not refer to meat using

[13:35]the word so the IMs explained to us that what this verse

[13:41]means is that their grains not the meats it's okay for you

[13:47]to eat them it's okay for you to buy them now someone

[13:51]can come back and say I have an objection to this verse

[13:56]the objection is well obviously the grains are Halal there is no

[14:00]doubt or sh that it's Haram for the Quran to tell me

[14:03]that it's Halal so it can't be the grains it's got to

[14:05]be meat because that's where the doubt comes from the following statement

[14:12]in the verse clarifies that what does Allah State and your food

[14:21]is also Halal to them our food was always Halal to them

[14:25]right so what's meant by this verse but what's meant by this

[14:31]verse is that due to the wars and some of the conspiracies

[14:33]of the Jews and the people of the book there was a

[14:37]boycott from both sides this verse came to break the boycott don't

[14:42]boycott one another if there are Christians or Jews and the Muslim

[14:45]world do business with them sell them your food meaning your grains

[14:52]you can buy the grains from them remove this economic boycott the

[14:56]Restriction is is lifted so in this verse according to the of

[15:02]and according to by it refers to grains not meat and that's

[15:09]why the vast majority of Scholars and they have said that the

[15:14]meat of the people of the book is not Hal it has

[15:18]to be you know slaughtered by a Muslim the name of Allah

[15:20]is mentioned towards the the the vast majority of scholars believe in

[15:24]that so it was more in relation to as you mentioned uh

[15:30]permitting trade and correct removing the restrictions from trade because some Muslims

[15:35]thought given the conspiracies that the Jews had committed against Muslims I

[15:40]shouldn't deal with them anymore I shouldn't buy I shouldn't sell there

[15:44]was that assumption so this verse came to lift that assumption thank

[15:48]you so much we'll take one more question from the sisters yes

[16:09]so when you talk about manifestation and the law of attraction one

[16:16]dimension of that is these crystals that give you the power of

[16:19]healing supposedly or some sort of positive energy what is our view

[16:27]of that when it comes to objects having these Powers we need

[16:32]evidence from God that they have certain powers otherwise if I claim

[16:40]that a certain Rock has invisible Powers if I make that claim

[16:45]without a proper verse or Hadith saying that and without clear scientific

[16:51]evidence that is a false claim that Allah subhana T will hold

[16:57]us accountable for now with some Stones yes Islam told us Allah

[17:01]has put certain blessings in them such as which Stone the stone

[17:04]the stone is something Rec recommended to wear the prophet used to

[17:08]wear it the imams used to wear it Allah subhana tala has

[17:11]put some sort of blessings in that stone just like some objects

[17:16]have the power of healing Allah tells us in the Holy Quran

[17:18]honey that comes from a bee Allah subhana T has placed shifa

[17:24]in it Allah has placed healing in it when Allah subhana refers

[17:28]to the honeybee and the honey that comes from the honeybee so

[17:33]when it comes to crystals if scientists can confirm in the lab

[17:38]that yes this can have the power of healing like that pill

[17:42]for sure why not that's proven by empirical evidence but science has

[17:46]not proven that so far at least and we don't have any

[17:51]hadiths that support that or any Islamic teachings that support that therefore

[17:56]I as a Muslim I cannot believe that these crystals have these

[17:59]invisible powers without evidence the Quran states don't follow something without having

[18:07]knowledge so we say there's no evidence that they have the power

[18:12]of healing so I as a Muslim I will stop short of

[18:14]believing in that if I believe in that God May hold me

[18:18]accountable God may tell me was there a verse or Hadith that

[18:20]told you this has the power of healing no was this proven

[18:25]by science like medication I can tell you that this you know

[18:28]antibiotic has the power of healing is is that shik if you

[18:32]believe in that no Allah put the power of healing in these

[18:35]pills but that's proven by science so that would be okay with

[18:37]the crystals honestly there's no evidence it's it's just a claim and

[18:44]I would not follow something that's unfounded thank you s we'll transition

[18:48]if it's okay with you to theological question so if anyone has

[18:53]a question you know regarding Allah subhanahu wa tala IM doubt doubts

[18:58]and and of the Islamic beliefs that we have um now is

[19:06]the time um there's one question um in regarding to theology um

[19:09]and it's more of a historical question but I think it really

[19:13]impacts the Theology of of many Muslims uh a couple nights ago

[19:19]say you had a lecture um proving that the status of imama

[19:21]is higher than the status of prophethood and one of the points

[19:28]that you had was that at the end of times when reappears

[19:35]one of the people that will pray behind the Imam is ISA

[19:44]or Jesus now some sunnis may come up and say that you

[19:49]know before the death of prayed in front of so that would

[19:57]mean that you know either that has a higher status than or

[20:05]it simply refutes your point so can you have a clarification or

[20:08]is that simp simply inaccurate that's a very valid question inni Hadith

[20:15]and as we mentioned a few nights ago it is well established

[20:20]that when appears and he goes to Jerusalem Prophet Isa will descend

[20:31]in Jerusalem and Prophet Isa will pray behind Al IM this is

[20:37]even documented in when the prophet sallallahu alai told Muslims these are

[20:47]the words of bukari how do you find it oh Muslims if

[20:51]Jesus Son of Mary descends and your IM who's going to lead

[20:53]the prayer and lead the world is from you and that's a

[20:58]reference to Al IM Ali and this is well documented in our

[21:00]hadiths so some Scholars have taken this Hadith and they have said

[21:03]this indicates that the status of Al IM Ali is higher than

[21:07]the status of Jesus why because if Jesus has a higher status

[21:10]he should lead the prayer the fact that Imam Al Mahi is

[21:15]going to lead the prayer indicates that his status is higher than

[21:18]the status of prophet Isam some Scholars have said that so the

[21:25]objection to that from some uh you know our our Sunni Brothers

[21:29]they say well Abu Bakr led the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaih Al

[21:35]in prayer before the prophet passed away and obviously the status of

[21:39]the Prophet is greater than Abu Bakr which means if you pray

[21:44]behind someone it doesn't mean that leader has to be better than

[21:47]you right and that's how they would refute this point what is

[21:51]our response to this point I will share with you the mainstream

[21:55]Sunni version of how the prayer of Abu happened and then I

[22:02]will share with you our analysis of that so the mainstream Sunni

[22:05]version is as the is goes as as follows the prophet sallallahu

[22:10]alaih was very ill this is you know just days maybe a

[22:14]day or two before he passed away the time for Salah came

[22:20]and the MU made the call to prayer the prophet tried to

[22:24]get up to go to the Masjid to pray but because he

[22:28]was so ill he felt unconscious he could not continue so when

[22:33]he realized that he's unable to lead the prayer he told his

[22:39]daughter AA to tell her father or one version says to tell

[22:42]Omar to go and lead the prayer we have very conflicting versions

[22:48]in Sunni books here one version tells you went to Omar and

[22:52]she told him lead the prayer the prophet cannot lead the prayer

[22:57]today Omar said no I'm not going to lead the prayer prayer

[22:59]Abu Bakr is is more entitled to it so your father should

[23:02]lead the prayer in any case without going into the details of

[23:08]these conflicting versions The confliction is regarding who who was asked Abu

[23:13]Bakr or Omar that's one another confliction or contradicting point is did

[23:19]the prophet ask AA to tell Abu Bakr or it was out

[23:23]of her own suggestion she realized the prophet can't pray so she

[23:27]told her father that's another conflicting point so the are a lot

[23:31]of contradicting elements in the you know Sunni books of Hadith about

[23:33]exactly what happened in any case Abu Bak goes and he starts

[23:40]to lead the prayer the prophet sallallahu alaihi at that point he

[23:47]felt a little bit better so he said carry me and take

[23:52]me to the Masjid I want to participate in the prayer and

[23:55]the prophet goes and he stands right next to Abu Bakr so

[24:00]not not behind him but next to him now Abu Bakr is

[24:02]standing in Salah and he's leading it whereas the prophet is sitting

[24:06]now sunnes have a discussion whether did the prophet technically pray behind

[24:11]him or was he praying with him or he was he just

[24:15]went to show his support in front of Muslims that's the mainstream

[24:22]Sunni version what is our understanding of history when we critically Analyze

[24:27]This Hadith this is our analysis number one all the hadiths that

[24:31]state or claim the prophet asked AA to ask Abu Bak to

[24:37]pray they all have a weak chain of narration so we find

[24:40]narrators who were either unreliable or they were Anonymous or we also

[24:45]my dear brothers and sisters are critical if something is narrated by

[24:51]AA in favor of her father because when we look at her

[24:53]history she had a tendency to narrate things that would benefit her

[24:56]or benefit her family so it's questionable if she is the one

[25:03]who is testifying right we need someone who was proven to be

[25:06]reliable to say something like that so the hadiths when you examine

[25:09]the chain of narration they are not authentic hadiths that's the first

[25:16]point the second point so what exactly happened here's the correct version

[25:20]of events that happened the prophet was extremely ill the time for

[25:25]Salah came the prophet sallallahu alaihi Al and IM has aith that

[25:32]clarifies that he says the prophet sallallahu alai asked for them to

[25:37]wait so Imam Ali can go lead the prayer but the prophet's

[25:41]head was in the lap of Imam Ali so Imam Ali he

[25:45]was a bit delayed to go because he didn't want to disturb

[25:49]the prophet AA took advantage of this delay when she realized the

[25:54]prophet's head was still in the lap of Imam Ali she quickly

[25:56]went to her father and she told him the prophet is not

[26:00]praying today go and quickly pray so it was not at the

[26:03]request of the Prophet it was at her own request Abu Bak

[26:08]goes into the Masjid and he's standing in line he's about to

[26:14]say allahar the prophet finds out the prophet becomes disappointed and he

[26:18]tells his uncle Abbas and he tells Imam Ali carry me he

[26:22]was suffering he was in pain but he said carry me I

[26:26]must go to the Masjid so the prophet with pain he goes

[26:28]to the Masjid the first line and he signals to Abu Bakr

[26:32]move and the prophet himself leads the prayer that day and the

[26:38]prophet does so while sitting even though in Islamic law it's not

[26:44]valid it's not allowed for the Imam of the prayer to be

[26:49]sitting if he's ill and the people praying behind him are standing

[26:51]but that day Allah made an exception to make a point so

[26:56]if you look at our analysis the prophet never asked him to

[27:02]pray and secondly the prophet made sure that he didn't pray and

[27:05]he himself went to pray but even if we stick to the

[27:10]Sunni version the Sunni version does not prove the prophet prayed behind

[27:13]Abu Bakr many of their version State the prophet prayed next to

[27:17]him and so many Sunni Scholars have Al also said the prophet

[27:20]didn't pray Jama he just prayed with him the Muslims were praying

[27:26]Jama behind Abu Bakr but the prophet stood next to him sitting

[27:28]just to pray in the M but he did not actually pray

[27:33]so that point cannot be used to refute what we mentioned about

[27:38]prophet and thank you for that wonderful clarification say now we ask

[27:53]Allah subh to keep us on the and his intercession on the

[27:57]day of judgment um we'll take a couple more theological questions and

[28:02]we'll transition inshallah lastly to you know any social questions that any

[28:06]have anyone has so we'll take one question from the sisters and

[28:09]one from the brothers yeah yes questions about uh Friday prayer I've

[28:20]heard many different ways to pray that Salah and then in addition

[28:25]to that um I heard there has to be a certain mileage

[28:27]between two ask in order to pray it and then can you

[28:31]just explain how to pray like the Friday prayer please thank you

[28:34]with respect to Friday prayer which is highly recommended for you to

[28:41]make the effort to attend it now when the prophet and the

[28:43]imams are present it's waj to attend it like when the prophet

[28:45]would pray in Medina if you lived in the vicinity of Medina

[28:49]you had to go and attend but during the of the IM

[28:53]it's recommended to make the effort even though it's not W meaning

[28:57]if you skipped Sal okay you miss out on some but you

[28:59]did not commit a sin how do we pray briefly number one

[29:06]the leader starts the one who's leading the Salah starts with two

[29:10]there must be two sermons it's highly recommended to listen to the

[29:17]sermon because in reality these two sermons are in the place of

[29:20]two is four is only two and the other two is compensated

[29:25]for by the two sermons I see people in talking to each

[29:30]other fidgeting with their phone act like you're in Salah listen to

[29:34]the sermon it's highly recommended to do that after the two sermons

[29:37]are set then we have two ra now it's recommended to recite

[29:44]in the first after the F and in the second after the

[29:51]F that's only a recommendation that doesn't have to be recited any

[29:55]Surah can be recited secondly it's to have two in in the

[30:03]first the is before the like your normal regular prayer in the

[30:11]second the is after the is this W no can you just

[30:13]do one in yes is it must yes it's must to have

[30:20]two so you pray if you've done that correctly you no longer

[30:26]have to pray Sal you can just proceed to Salat now regarding

[30:32]the question about the distance between two masjids we have hadiths from

[30:38]the that in order for to be valid there cannot be another

[30:46]Salat being prayed in town within a distance of a f far

[30:54]in English is technically a parasang I know none of you know

[31:00]what Paris say is so how much is a 5 miles it's

[31:01]5 kilm okay which is about 3 I don't know 3.3 miles

[31:07]someone can look that up 3 point something miles so you cannot

[31:12]have two Sal legally in the school of B if they are

[31:17]within 3 point let's say three miles the distance between two Sal

[31:24]has to be at least 3.3 miles or more now let's say

[31:29]you have to Sal within two miles what happens the first Salah

[31:33]is the valid one so let's say the first Salah at 2:00

[31:38]p.m.

[31:39]sharp they said allahar the second Salah they started 2:05 the 2:00

[31:44]Salah is valid the 2051 is not valid now sometimes people may

[31:51]doubt if you're playing if you're praying in a place and you

[31:54]don't know if it's within the distance or not as a precaution

[31:58]you can pray Sal with I'm praying just out of precaution in

[32:02]case is not valid because of the distance issue because there's ways

[32:08]of verifying the distance you know some maps put it at like

[32:11]3.3 miles sometimes 3.2 let's say you have a doubt it's good

[32:13]to do but if you don't have such a doubt you don't

[32:20]have any evidence that the Salah is invalid or that you're within

[32:23]that distance then you don't have to pray Sal that's the brief

[32:28]ruling about just to clarify what would the of the be if

[32:36]someone would like to just do it as a you would like

[32:39]to do it as a precaution you can just say that in

[32:41]English in your heart I pray as a precaution in Arabic if

[32:48]you want to say it or or these are all saying the

[33:03]same thing that if I am obligated to pray because my jum

[33:06]was not valid then I'm praying it just in case out of

[33:10]precaution and you don't need to verbalize this Nia as long as

[33:12]you have the concept in your mind that would be sufficient thank

[33:17]you s uh we'll take one more question theological question from the

[33:22]brothers and inshallah we'll transition to social questions religious and so leaving

[33:32]spirituality aside and focusing on The Logical aspects so we Muslims we

[33:37]believe in the r in the soul an atheist may not believe

[33:39]in the soul how can I prove the existence of the soul

[33:44]to someone who does not believe in it now we don't exactly

[33:46]know what the essence of the soul is the Quran says they

[33:54]ask you about the soul about the r say the r is

[33:58]from the Dominion of my Lord you don't know the essence of

[34:01]the Soul it's beyond our capacity but how can I know that

[34:07]I have a soul I will give you some pointers let's say

[34:11]you're thinking of a math problem scientific problem law Problem whatever some

[34:17]problem you don't get it it's hard you research you don't get

[34:21]it and then you go to let's say a friend who's a

[34:25]good tutor who understands math very well and when when they explain

[34:29]it to you suddenly you get it that feeling and moment of

[34:36]getting it and understanding it that's a dimension of what is it

[34:45]your neurons The Atheist will tell you there's nothing beyond your brain

[34:49]and your neurons in your brain but that cannot be the neurons

[34:54]because when you get something who is it that got it a

[35:00]bunch of neurons neurons don't have Consciousness like the neurons are collectively

[35:06]examining a math problem and then suddenly they decide yeah now we

[35:09]got it I got it now no neurons don't have that capacity

[35:14]so you know there's another dimension in you that got the problem

[35:19]that's a sign that you have a soul because individual neurons don't

[35:22]have that capacity to give you that feeling of understanding something that's

[35:26]one pointer the second pointer who here is in his 60s anyone

[35:31]the sisters let's not ask Brothers even if they're in their 60s

[35:35]they're not going to raise their hand no the guys they're okay

[35:38]by saying the who's in there who's over 60 mashallah okay one

[35:44]of the brothers is over 60 do you recall something that you

[35:47]did when you were 20 anything that you did okay now now

[35:53]that you're 60 and you say I did that when I was

[35:59]20 right who did it when you were 20 who let's say

[36:08]you used your hand to break a door when you were 20

[36:14]who did it when you were 20 your hand no your hand

[36:16]is gone this hand at 60 is not the same hand at

[36:21]20 every single cell has been replaced your body at 60 is

[36:26]not the same body at 20 almost all of your cells have

[36:31]been replaced because your body regenerates cells so your body did not

[36:35]do that at 20 so who did it but you still say

[36:40]me I me there's that constant in you from your childhood to

[36:43]your teenage years to your young adulthood to your old age there's

[36:46]a constant me I did that I was there who's that me

[36:51]who's that I that's the soul that indicates you have a constant

[36:55]soul that defines Who You Are that's another indication that we have

[37:00]the soul there are many more but these are just two brief

[37:04]ones we have one question uh from someone who would like to

[37:11]be anonymous um and the question is is it true that a

[37:12]person cannot get good deeds after their death for example you know

[37:18]someone living donates on their behalf do they get the or not

[37:24]or someone does a during their life would they still continue to

[37:28]get the good deeds after their death uh once they die or

[37:32]does that stop the Hadith from the prophet sallallah States when you

[37:39]die you're cut off from the world and from any new Deeds

[37:43]accept from these one if you leave behind a good son or

[37:53]daughter who does good who prays for you continuously in the world

[38:01]of Barak you will get good deeds through your children and grandchildren

[38:05]and great great great grandchildren that's the beautiful investment of raising a

[38:12]good family one day Prophet isaam was passing by with his companions

[38:17]and disciples he passed by a grave he told his disciples and

[38:21]companions the person in this grave is being punished because Prophet Isa

[38:30]had that Insight next year Prophet Isa passed by the same grave

[38:34]and he told his disciples the punishment has been lifted from him

[38:41]he's no longer being punished they asked him why he said because

[38:45]he left behind a son his son became of age matured and

[38:51]you know what his son did he fixed the road there was

[38:53]a rock or maybe pothole or something like a hole in the

[38:58]road he fixed it so people who pass by don't get injured

[39:00]you see this act of humanity because of this humanitarian act Allah

[39:05]subh lifted the punishment from his father and Allah forgave his father

[39:09]that's the power of Good Deeds through your children so that's the

[39:14]first one leaving good children behind my dear brothers and sisters is

[39:20]an infinite continuous way to you for you to receive a long

[39:23]after you're gone the second way is what is an ongoing charity

[39:35]that people benefit from you long after you're gone for instance an

[39:39]orphanage you donate to an orphanage and the orphanage lasts years and

[39:44]decades after you every orphan that benefits from that orphanage you get

[39:48]a copy of the a an example is a charitable Hospital a

[39:55]Masjid a charitable School a religious school any Act of Charity that

[40:01]benefits the people the third one is what knowledge that you leave

[40:07]behind for people who benefit from it could be a book maybe

[40:11]you taught your friends something good that they taught other people and

[40:15]long after you got you're gone you inspired them that's knowledge that

[40:19]you left behind long after you're gone you will receive the a

[40:24]from that so remember this Hadith when you leave this world you

[40:28]cut off from everything except three a good child who does good

[40:34]or beneficial knowledge we ask Allah subhana tala to give us the

[40:39]for all these three inshallah so s if someone fixes the many

[40:42]potholes on the street will Allah subhana abely if you save our

[40:49]tires you'll get a inshah but I don't think you're authorized by

[40:51]the city to go and fix it don't try that go volunteer

[40:56]tell the city I'll fix it if you guys don't if anyone

[40:57]works in the city inshallah they'll hear this and inah they'll decide

[41:00]to fix the roads inah um all right so we'll transition into

[41:06]any social questions that anyone has and we have just about 15

[41:10]minutes before we wrap up umum uh regarding a lecture that you

[41:22]did yesterday about um a child no matter what he does if

[41:25]he actually gets inheritance from his parents when they pass so if

[41:29]a child is considers himself a Muslim but uh he's married to

[41:36]a Christian and he actually baptized his son does the the parents

[41:40]still have to put them in put that child in the will

[41:42]that's a very good question when we look at the laws of

[41:48]inheritance in Islam non-muslim family members According to Islamic law do not

[41:55]inherit from Muslim family members so if a father passes away and

[41:59]let's say has three children two are Muslim and one is not

[42:04]the non-muslim child does not receive any inheritance According to Islamic law

[42:08]so in that Cas yes in that case yes the father can

[42:10]go you know and consult an attorney and say Here's how I

[42:14]want to write my will and I want my inheritance to only

[42:16]go let's say to my wife and two children not the third

[42:20]one so yes in fact he would be obligated to do that

[42:24]so non-muslim family members do not inherit from Muslim uh family members

[42:27]now I know some of you what you're thinking in your hand

[42:31]come on say this is discrimination that's not fair right how come

[42:36]you're denying non-muslims from your inheritance very briefly I'll address this misconception

[42:43]Allah subhah wa ta'ala has given us laws that help the transfer

[42:51]of wealth from non-muslims to Muslims Why by the way interest is

[42:55]like that a Muslim can receive interest from non-muslim but you cannot

[43:01]give interest to a non-muslim and you cannot charge interest from a

[43:04]Muslim but from a non-muslim who believes it's okay you can take

[43:08]interest from them some some people say why that's discrimination how come

[43:11]if interest is bad it's bad why is it okay for you

[43:15]to receive interest from non-muslims the transfer of wealth from non-muslims to

[43:21]Muslims is generally theoretically at least okay is generally good for overall

[43:28]Society because because you as a Muslim you have obligations to help

[43:32]the poor and to help Charities zakat on the day of every

[43:40]one of you you have to pay Z estimated at $15 two

[43:43]billion Muslims have to pay that imagine two billion meals being donated

[43:51]to the poor see Allah obligates you in Islam to do that

[43:53]whereas many non-muslims may not have such an obligation an atheist may

[43:56]not have such an obligation or any other mus non-muslims may not

[44:03]they may but they may not so the transfer of wealth from

[44:07]non-muslims to Muslims is for the betterment of society and hence our

[44:14]laws facilitate that does that make sense I just wanted to clarify

[44:17]that point now yes someone come and tell me say there's a

[44:20]Muslim who is not practicing and wah he's causing destruction to the

[44:24]community with with his wealth sure there are bad apples out there

[44:31]but theoretically a Muslim should be practicing and should pay all these

[44:33]religious dues now if some Muslims don't I obviously that that's a

[44:40]shame that they don't but at least the religion makes it w

[44:46]yes if you have a Muslim child who who changes his religion

[44:51]there are a cfir they are non-muslim so they will not be

[44:53]entitled to inheritance thank you sna for for that answer uh we'll

[45:00]take a question from the brothers if there's any yes well it

[45:28]depends what happened to that 10,000 let's say we assume you've already

[45:31]paid the on it I was giving an example on how to

[45:36]factor in for the new year but that 10,000 that you started

[45:39]with if you've never paid on those savings and a year has

[45:45]passed since you've had those savings yes you need to give 20%

[45:48]of those savings which would be $22,000 correct not all of them

[46:05]but many of them yes so you may go to a Sunni

[46:28]restaurant meaning owning owned by a Sunni because the restaurant itself is

[46:31]neither Sunni or Shia obviously but let's say you go to a

[46:34]restaurant owned by a Sunni the sushi restaurant sushi restaurant good right

[46:38]across the street from here that's an ad a we got to

[46:43]charge them y let's have it sponsored so if you go to

[46:47]a restaurant owed by a Sunni or a Sunni friend invites you

[46:50]for for lunch or dinner and there is the possibility that they

[46:54]got their me from Christians and Jews because they believe it's Halal

[46:58]whereas for us it's not Halal so in that case do you

[47:03]have to investigate what do you have to do According to Islamic

[47:08]law as long as a Muslim is giving you food and you

[47:09]don't know what the source of the food is you're not obligated

[47:14]to investigate because Allah wanted us as Muslims to live in a

[47:18]community and if it was wag to investigate imagine your friend invites

[47:22]you I need to investigate where you get the meat from it

[47:26]kind of creates tension and it it it weakens the Brotherhood in

[47:30]society so to make life not miserable for us Allah subhana wa

[47:39]ta'ala lifted the burden of investigating if you'd like to investigate fine

[47:43]you can if you want to but you don't have to even

[47:45]if there is a possibility that the food is being the food

[47:49]being given to you is Haram even if there's the possibility you

[47:53]don't have to investigate yes if it comes to your attention there

[47:57]is evidence that ex restaurant is giving Haram food like you know

[48:01]at that point you can't eat but if you don't know the

[48:06]default law is and you can eat there you do not have

[48:11]to investigate thank you s we'll take a couple questions from the

[48:14]sisters yes uh actually we did take a question from you um

[48:25]yes Alum um my question is uh so basically at University I

[48:35]have a lot of like Sunni friends and recently for some reason

[48:38]there's been some like I don't want to see like Shia phobic

[48:43]comments but like ignorant comons towards like my religion and I've been

[48:48]like really emotional about it so I want to ask like how

[48:51]to mitigate those conversations because it gets really awkward um and I

[48:56]don't want to get like Angry so yeah that's my question that

[48:58]is something that many of you will experience especially in college where

[49:03]you will meet Muslims from other schools of thought and because of

[49:07]their misconceptions about Shia Islam because of their ignorance many times they

[49:15]will make hurtful comments they might accuse you of being a deviant

[49:18]of being a mushrik of being a polytheist of whatever and that

[49:23]emotionally does wound us so what do I recommend in situ ation

[49:27]like that number one try not to let it affect you realize

[49:33]that there's a lot of ignorance out there and many of these

[49:37]people saying those hateful comments they don't know any better they've been

[49:42]brainwashed by the global media Maybe by their Scholars who are shh

[49:47]phobic so don't necessarily take it personally and feel too affected by

[49:51]it just realize that there's a lot of hate out there in

[49:55]the world there's a lot of ignorance so be patient like the

[49:57]imams of B they were always patient in in in the face

[50:02]of people who were ignorant like that that's the first step be

[50:05]strong because the minute you show weakness and you show them that

[50:12]you're troubled and you're emotionally hurting they're going to consider that as

[50:15]a victory and they're going to do it again show them you're

[50:17]not affected by it show them I'm confident I know my values

[50:21]I know my faith no matter what you say it's not going

[50:23]to weaken me having that self-confidence is important in such situations that's

[50:28]number one number two take that as an opportunity to educate them

[50:33]in fact I would love an encounter like like that A Moment

[50:38]Like That where they say something out of place they say something

[50:40]that's not true or misunderstood and I take advantage of the opportunity

[50:45]to correct them but that requires that for me to be educated

[50:51]I need to be educated I need to know what we believe

[50:53]in why we believe in it and take advantage of that opportunity

[50:57]when they say something like that tell them hey that's it let's

[51:00]discuss this this is a good point that you brought up one

[51:02]two three this is the evidence from the Quran this is the

[51:05]evidence from the Hadith this is what the prophet said many times

[51:08]you can dispel those misconceptions so I would encourage all of you

[51:12]to be strongly educated in our belief system such that you can

[51:19]defend our beliefs and take advantage of those moments to educate them

[51:22]I myself I had a professor who at one of the universities

[51:26]I don't want to mention his name I had a professor he's

[51:30]well known in the Sunni World very welln an excellent academic scholar

[51:34]and I took a class with him many years ago in one

[51:38]of the universities not too far from here and he had a

[51:42]lot of misconceptions about the Shia he said some things out of

[51:45]line in class very respectfully very politely I corrected it for him

[51:49]I told him no that's not what we believe in this is

[51:52]what believe in this is the proof this is evidence this is

[51:54]the verse from the Quran this is the book he changed his

[51:58]perspective and you had a scholar here not like just an average

[52:00]one a person but even a scholar sometimes can be brainwashed and

[52:07]in fact I remember once he told me do you have a

[52:09]book on for those who don't know what is it's basically when

[52:15]you're under threat of persecution you're you're you could be arrested you

[52:20]could be killed you can conceal your belief and not show that

[52:23]you're Shia this was a tactic that the imams gave to their

[52:27]followers to be saved from the evil tyrants of their time now

[52:30]sunnis have a lot of misconceptions on oh this is a form

[52:36]of lying you know you're you you twist the truth you lie

[52:38]this and that in any case he told me I know that

[52:42]you sh after my encounter with you you actually can support your

[52:46]beliefs so I don't have a proper understanding of T and I've

[52:54]been asked to talk about in a very important National Sunni conference

[52:57]they've asked me to go and debunk so I want to be

[53:02]fair to you guys can you give me a book so I

[53:05]can understand it so I went to my father's home there was

[53:07]a book in his Library about Tak I gave it to him

[53:10]it's in Arabic masallah he speaks like seven languages very bright scholar

[53:15]I gave it to him a few months later I saw him

[53:19]he told me Muhammad you got me in trouble I told him

[53:21]why he's like I went to the conference and I presented now

[53:27]they were hoping that I would you know refute and debunk but

[53:32]I told them this is what the Shia believe in and one

[53:35]two3 this is their evidence they're like you came and you defended

[53:37]their position it makes sense right now right so take advantage of

[53:43]the opportunity to educate them that's what I would do we'll take

[53:48]one more question from the sisters um so this question is not

[54:00]a social question but I just wanted to ask it if that's

[54:02]okay um so my question is when Imam Mahi reappears um our

[54:10]authentic hadiths say that the shaitan will be imprisoned so if the

[54:17]Shan is imprisoned what is the test here is it like our

[54:21]evil nephus and if it is then like what why does our

[54:30]neph do that like why do we go to the bad things

[54:35]and do bad stuff is it something we developed or did Allah

[54:39]just make us that way mashallah that's a very intelligent question we

[54:45]have hadiths that tell us when reappears he will team up with

[54:54]Prophet isaam to do what to slay the shatan they will not

[54:59]imprison him but they will kill him so shatan will be killed

[55:06]when the IM will reappear IM Ali along with Jesus peace be

[55:10]upon him they will kill the shatan and remember the verses in

[55:15]the Holy Quran when Shan negotiated with God I want you to

[55:18]give me time until the day of judgment God give me time

[55:29]until the day of judgment so I go and cause Mischief now

[55:31]Allah has a trial so he said okay I will try human

[55:34]beings through Shan but Allah did not give him time till the

[55:41]day of judgment Allah gave him time till one until the fixed

[55:48]day the have taught us that the fixed day which Allah gave

[55:51]shaan is the reappearance of Al IM Ali so when the IM

[55:57]will reappear Shan will be killed and slaughtered so now he's out

[56:01]of the way now does that mean we're no we no longer

[56:05]have a trial with the Shan out of the picture no we

[56:07]still do you will still have your evil NFS remember Allah created

[56:14]us with two different powers in our NFS you have a good

[56:18]power like these two powers of the Soul they tell you don't

[56:24]do wrong if you sinned repent be at peace follow God you

[56:30]have the good side of the NS and then you have the

[56:34]bad side the power of anger that tells you to rage you

[56:36]have for instance the power of Desire that tells you follow Haram

[56:40]desires that is the evil side of the NFS that Allah created

[56:44]us with in order to test us to try us you still

[56:49]have that during the time of the Imam because we're still we

[56:52]still have a trial on Earth yes it will be easier the

[56:56]world will be a better place place but you will still be

[56:58]tried the second part to that is that your intellect will be

[57:01]complete why will the world be a good place because someone can

[57:05]say at the end of the day people still follow their bad

[57:07]NS their evil NS so how is it going to be a

[57:12]healthy system Allah will empower the intellect when im reappears the Hadith

[57:22]States the Hadith States when the IM reappears he will place hand

[57:28]on the heads of people thereby Allah will complete their intellect now

[57:34]many scholars say don't take this literally him placing his hand on

[57:38]the heads of people it means his system will be a just

[57:41]system that allows people to realize their full intellectual capacity because at

[57:47]the time of the Imam there will be no censorship of the

[57:51]truth it will be a healthy system now when you live in

[57:53]a healthy system and the truth is being shown to you and

[57:56]Shan out of the way for the most part you're going to

[57:59]be decent so that's what will happen at the time of the

[58:02]IM Shan's out of the way we just have to fight our

[58:05]evil nefs but it will be much easier because no Shan to

[58:07]instigate the nefs and secondly it will be a healthy global system

[58:14]so most people will be good in that era initially the people

[58:24]will fight the Imam when the Imam reappears there will be a

[58:27]war here and there because there will be evil people trying to

[58:32]stop his Justice then the Imam will achieve Victory the evil ones

[58:36]will all be out of the way he establishes his G just

[58:39]government Isa comes then they kill Shan and there will be Justice

[58:46]once that happens they won't fight the Imam anymore so if you've

[58:50]read Hadith of some people standing up against the IM and fighting

[58:53]him like the army of sufyani and others that's in the very

[58:59]beginning but once the IM actually rules the world the these Bad

[59:02]actors will be out of the way you're welcome thank you s

[59:06]and I know we're overtime um just one very quick question and

[59:11]and you mention this very very briefly um there's a waj coming

[59:16]up and that is can you just explain it within you know

[59:20]a minute just if in case someone doesn't know about it Z

[59:26]is on everyone to pay my dear brothers and sisters it's estimated

[59:30]at $15 this year and you have to take it out on

[59:37]the night ofid so on Tuesday night take out the $15 put

[59:40]it in an envelope and it has to be paid before Sal

[59:44]so you can put it in the zakat box or if you

[59:48]want to forward it to a poor person that you know that

[59:51]must be done before Salat so before Sal make sure it's in

[59:55]the envelope and you've written on the envelope yeah this is my

[60:00]zakat now the head of the household is the one who has

[60:02]to pay zakat on himself and his dependence so if the husband

[60:09]is working and his wife and children are the dependents he is

[60:13]the one who has to take out Zak on them $15 for

[60:20]each person so that's the basic ruling regarding Zak thank you so
