Transcript

[0:00]the last two days we discussed some of God's wonderful promises and

[0:06]their many more promises that allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has for believers and

[0:12]those believe those promises brothers and sisters are not limited to the

[0:17]next world that allows promises are only for instance paradise rather the

[0:22]promises are such that they give you hope they give you strength

[0:25]and they turn the mote monohr mote mina into a powerhouse those

[0:28]promises of allah but what I promised brothers and sisters was the

[0:34]idea that first let's talk about the conditions those promises are for

[0:39]believers who is a believer of in according to Islam according to

[0:43]Islam are we considered movement in or now you want to find

[0:49]that out tonight and insha'Allah if there are areas of growth and

[0:52]we definitely have to take these ayat of the Quran very seriously

[0:54]and inshallah better ourselves so that we can benefit from those promises

[0:59]of God and experience God's best in this world and then inshallah

[1:03]the next solo wa alaa muhammad wa aale him come man now

[1:11]brothers sisters as you've noticed I like to share the ayat of

[1:16]the Quran meaning to give the references to brothers and sisters so

[1:20]they can share them with other believers later on what happens is

[1:26]brother and sisters don't only limit this discussion to other believers there

[1:31]are sometimes non-muslims who have not been exposed to Islam as taught

[1:35]to us by Arnold bait it's good for them also to know

[1:40]what the definition of faith is in Islam it's a little different

[1:43]than it is for others it's good for us to know so

[1:48]the first condition in order to be considered many true believers the

[1:53]first condition that Islam has for us is the idea that we

[1:56]have intellectual conviction Allah in the Quran condemns those people who follow

[2:07]illogical beliefs just the way of their forefathers my forefathers were doing

[2:13]this so I'm there doing this that was a reason why sometimes

[2:16]people would reject Islam the Prophet would come ayat of the Quran

[2:23]or another book before our prophet tell the people this is what

[2:26]you should accept this is what God said and the people would

[2:33]say our forefathers used to do XYZ what is Islam say about

[2:36]the idea of blindly following one's forefathers because there's no double standards

[2:42]in Islam so this one sir brothers and sisters is surah 5

[2:45]and verse number 104 why Allah says this either kilala home to

[2:51]Allah allama anza la-la-la-la rasul when they are told come to that

[2:56]which Allah has revealed and to the messenger the response of these

[3:00]people is this all new the people say hispana mwahaha now alayhi

[3:08]baa anna whatever we found our forefathers doing that's sufficient for us

[3:13]we don't need this new religion we're not going to consider and

[3:17]find out are you really speaking on behalf of God or not

[3:21]we were doing our forefathers used to practice a certain way God

[3:25]doesn't find that acceptable that this is what the Quran says it

[3:33]says our lo can I borrow home la ya la mouche even

[3:35]though their forefathers didn't know anything well ayah to do him they

[3:39]weren't guided the believer is supposed to be looking for the truth

[3:46]accepting the truth not guided just following the ways of the forefathers

[3:51]not acceptable in Islam so what happens is in Islam it's not

[3:54]acceptable for us to even just do the right things let's say

[4:01]I'm praying I'm fasting I'm doing those things God once but I

[4:05]don't have any intellectual backing for it I don't know why I'm

[4:08]doing it it's just the way of my forefathers I was born

[4:11]in a Muslim family it was a gift Islam was a gift

[4:15]for me I never worked to find out if it was actually

[4:20]true that's actually not acceptable we have to be personally convinced on

[4:24]the last day when we're in the grave we have to say

[4:28]the reason I accepted Islam is because I knew God was true

[4:33]he existed I knew the Prophet was his messenger I was convinced

[4:40]Imam Ali was the first SEMA I wasn't just following other people

[4:45]and I knew I can't unknown the truth it doesn't even matter

[4:50]what other people are doing I'm meeting NEMA Bain I'm not on

[4:55]the day of judgment if God says I will say I know

[4:56]Imam Ali as if I know the Quran is the book of

[5:00]God it was revealed letter by letter to our prophet so that

[5:04]intellectual conviction brothers and sisters is very important you're gonna find out

[5:10]from the vert I want to share this verse of the Quran

[5:15]the believer in Islam is a truth seeker they're looking for the

[5:18]truth whatever the truth is then because they find that Islam is

[5:24]the truth they embrace Islam not because it's the way of their

[5:28]forefathers so let's look at this verse also Sura 39 verses number

[5:31]17 and 18 God says this in the quran the bashar iBot

[5:38]give good tidings to my servants who are your servants god continues

[5:43]in the quran and levena yes dummy Ronal old those who listen

[5:47]carefully to the word they listen to what's being said for yet

[5:52]a bear owner Oxana and then they follow the best of it

[5:56]why am i following islam because it's the best thing out there

[6:00]because it's the truth because it makes sense it resonates with my

[6:06]heart my fitrah tells me this is hot therefore i follow it

[6:11]yet be runa oksana because islam is the best thing that's out

[6:15]there so in islam it's very important we don't just look at

[6:19]people might make this mistake sometimes what happens is islam as a

[6:23]gift but we've never worked for it we were practicing but we

[6:27]had never been intellectually convinced later were challenged test calm allisyn's bala

[6:36]now my faith goes out the window cuz it never had that

[6:39]firm backing what happens is sometimes people doing the right thing but

[6:44]how they got there isn't ranked we show her story with you

[6:48]that's not true it's not true they said once there was this

[6:53]lady and she told her friend she said I'm getting married for

[6:56]the fourth time well first of all congratulations it's wonderful to hear

[7:02]that you're getting married but can I ask you what happened to

[7:07]your previous husband she said my first husband she said my first

[7:11]husband he ate poison mushrooms and he died she said it's terrible

[7:16]she said but then what happened to your second husband she said

[7:24]he also ate poison mushrooms and he died so sorry for your

[7:28]loss I really don't want to poke but what happened to your

[7:33]third husband she said oh he died of a broken neck he

[7:36]said a broken neck she said yeah he wouldn't eat mushrooms so

[7:42]marriage is wonderful why are you getting married what led you to

[7:48]that in Islam the idea that the reason I'm practicing that that's

[7:52]correct that's what God wants to see am i intellectually convinced also

[7:58]keep this in mind sometimes when those who are outside of Islam

[8:04]the reason that they reject the faith is that what they've been

[8:07]exposed to is modern day Christianity they haven't been exposed to slow

[8:12]religion for them what they see mainstream media how they've grown up

[8:18]in the churches is modern day Christianity they haven't been exposed to

[8:23]Islam so now you and I take a step back from Islam

[8:25]that you and I have embraced and think about it if I

[8:30]was a reasonable person a reasonable person I'm intellectually I'm there and

[8:36]I see that religion conflicts with the intellect conflicts there are things

[8:43]in the Bible it just doesn't make sense how can God be

[8:47]three and be one it doesn't if Jesus is God and who

[8:52]was he praying to these are questions that you come on so

[8:56]what happens is if you were a reasonable person and I'm seeing

[9:00]religion is doing this I'm also seeing that religion conflicts with science

[9:05]that science is one thing facts what's in front of me and

[9:14]the religions telling me to believe something else or if I see

[9:16]that religion actually it's not dealing with social issues it can't provide

[9:23]me solutions I'm going through issues people have mental health issues but

[9:26]let's say religion couldn't provide me with those answers it's not solving

[9:32]my social problems it doesn't have a way of governing society and

[9:36]the person seeing this they see that religion actually doesn't stand up

[9:41]to bullies that tyrants actually feel comfortable sitting down with religious leaders

[9:48]and getting advice from them then a reasonable person will be like

[9:52]how can that be Dean how can that be as be right

[9:57]it's LA and you and I what we tell them is that

[10:01]yes if that what you've been exposed to if religion has been

[10:05]one that cooperates with tyrants doesn't stand for the oppressed doesn't tackle

[10:10]social issues doesn't have solutions yeah on behalf of us as Muslims

[10:15]reject that Deen that's not Islam Islam provides us with solutions Aslam

[10:20]gives us direction so having said that and that first condition is

[10:27]very important and it's not that difficult if one is searching if

[10:30]one is really trying to look to see that I I am

[10:34]convinced that this is the truth it's not that difficult what happens

[10:38]is our prophets would be sent with miracles we give you a

[10:43]verse of the Quran this is surah 57 and verse number 25

[10:47]God says this lot that aerosol now Rosso Luna bill Begley an

[10:51]art we sent all of our messengers with clear proofs intellectual proofs

[10:58]the people knew that who they're the person they were talking to

[11:05]was a prophet of God Muhammad Allah who explains this is that

[11:08]when a prophet will come with a miracle you've heard of the

[11:12]miracles of anbiya for instance in the time of nabi musa they

[11:14]instant the people were at their height where they were going through

[11:17]and they were performing magic the miracle of Nabi Musa was to

[11:26]turn that stick into a real live snake what happens this is

[11:28]what mark almighty la hoya explains he says what happened was this

[11:31]those people who were experts in their field because in the time

[11:36]of Nabil was something different in the time of the karana was

[11:39]something different the height of what people were doing the people who

[11:42]were experts in the field would say that what that prophet just

[11:45]did is literally an act of God no human can do that

[11:53]no human can do that action so when it happens that someone

[11:57]would see meaning they would get this intellectual proof that this was

[12:02]an act of God then at this stage the person would say

[12:05]no yes this is clear proof and the person would be able

[12:10]to submit having said that it does not mean brothers and sisters

[12:14]that when we have intellectual proof for the religion that we know

[12:19]100% that Allah has revealed this religion that we will know all

[12:25]of the answers for any intellectual question that is posed about the

[12:28]religion that you and I am intellectually committed convicted that or have

[12:34]intellectual conviction that Islam is the truth does that mean that every

[12:37]single thing that someone does meaning every question that's ever posed to

[12:41]religion I will automatically know what the answer is and the answer

[12:46]is no sometimes somebody might pose a question you and I haven't

[12:49]been prepared for that we may have to go back later and

[12:54]get answers from experts that's a reality we're not denying that sometimes

[12:58]it happens somebody asks you a question you're not prepared for it

[13:01]you have to get an answer from experts I'll give you an

[13:03]example another story that's not true they said once this lady she

[13:07]was sitting on an airplane when she was sitting on the airplane

[13:10]she's reading the Quran and so what happened was this guy came

[13:13]over and he said what's that book you're reading she says the

[13:16]Quran he said do you believe everything that's in there why not

[13:21]horse I believe it it's the four ah he said what about

[13:25]that story about the man who got swallowed by a whale she

[13:28]said you mean prophet yunus yeah I believe that too it's the

[13:33]Quran why wouldn't I believe it he said well then tell me

[13:39]this how did he survive in that well how'd she survive the

[13:43]lady thought about it for a second thought about for a second

[13:48]she said I don't know when I go to heaven I'll have

[13:50]to ax him he said what if he's not in heaven she

[13:55]said within you have taxa it might be the case somebody who

[13:58]asks a question I'm not prepared for it doesn't mean I don't

[14:03]have intellectual conviction the basis of the religion that is rock-solid for

[14:07]me yes somebody goes over they pull some question that I'm not

[14:10]prepared for that's possible that doesn't mean I don't have intellectual conviction

[14:16]condition number two just intellectual conviction and knowing that Islam is the

[14:24]truth is that enough for us to be considered what meaning that

[14:27]I know 100 percent Islam as the truth is that enough for

[14:34]me to be considered among men in Islam again the answer is

[14:37]no it's more than that there are other conditions otherwise if that

[14:43]was a condition what about Shaitaan in the Quran in the Quran

[14:48]Shaitaan says he's talking to God when he talks about why he

[14:58]rejected frustrating for Adam he says Halak tani you made me from

[15:01]fire and you made him from clay he had intellectual conviction he

[15:09]was sure it was God he was talking to he said reluctantly

[15:12]you made me so he had intellectual conviction but you and I

[15:18]we don't consider Shaitaan to be a moment even though he had

[15:20]intellectual conviction the reason is just having intellectual conviction is not enough

[15:29]this is very important in Islam it's not just mental acrobat being

[15:33]able to prove the existence of God in Tiferet in different ways

[15:40]there's more that's required in order for you and I to be

[15:43]considered a moment this is also something we want to share even

[15:45]with non-muslims for us as believers faith is never something that's just

[15:56]in the heart and the mind if we believe in Islam it's

[16:00]going to demonstrate itself in our actions the Quran says this Watts

[16:08]or eight verse number one wah RTO la voix Rasul Allah and

[16:15]obey Allah and His Messenger in kuntum mu'minin' if you are believers

[16:21]obey Allah and His Messenger if you are believers it's not enough

[16:26]that I'm intellectually convinced it doesn't demonstrate itself in my actions in

[16:31]order for you and I to be considered true believers according to

[16:36]Quran it's gonna have to show up on my actions my actions

[16:38]have to reflect this and the aldol debate they had to work

[16:43]I'm going to show you some stories from our debate they had

[16:45]to work to break this mentality and the hearts and minds of

[16:50]some there were some people who thought that know us enough that

[16:53]I just am convinced a man sent a letter through his wife

[16:58]to our the lady of light lady fatima he sent her a

[17:01]letter to his wife when he sent this letter to his wife

[17:07]then though through his wife to lady fatima she the letter was

[17:11]this am I considered to be a Shia am i considered a

[17:16]believer am I considered to be a Shia this is what the

[17:19]lady said she said this encanta charmolue be ma am are not

[17:27]if you do those things we are obeyed have commanded you to

[17:35]do what anta he amaz ajar nod and you stay away from

[17:38]those things that we order you to stay away from for untermensch

[17:43]ER t now if you do that you do those things we

[17:45]tell you to do you stay away from those things we tell

[17:49]you to stay away from then after that you're considered a Shia

[17:54]we're enough Allah otherwise if that's not the case then no we

[17:59]don't have this concept of being saved in Islam you know like

[18:07]our Christian friends co-workers a lot of you have heard these words

[18:11]if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you're

[18:14]forgiven do we have that as Muslims do we say that if

[18:19]you accept for saying for instance as your Savior then that's it

[18:22]you're saved you're in paradise the Islamic perspective is null the Quran

[18:27]doesn't accept that the Quran pushes us to act even to this

[18:34]extent once our fourth Imam so imam zain al-abideen and you know

[18:37]this Imam you know about his prayers you know about him in

[18:39]Karbala you know about his sacrifice you won't know about sahifa sage

[18:43]idea you know he led the resistance against the total Heat he

[18:49]was our Imam for a long time he rebuilt the Ummah who

[18:51]had been crushed in the time of imam hussain and he got

[18:55]it to the time of imam babka once somebody saw this the

[18:57]Imam and the Imam was putting so much effort you may have

[19:01]heard the stories the amount of Prayer crying these kind of things

[19:04]for the Imam so he told the Imam he's like why don't

[19:06]you why don't you take it easy your father is hossein your

[19:10]mother is wrong your grandfather is Rasul Allah why you why are

[19:15]you pushing so hard why are you spraying so much he said

[19:20]when I said these words the Imam turned and looked at me

[19:24]when he turned and looked at me the Imam said this hey

[19:29]hey hey never is that the case there are near hadith or

[19:33]ABI were on me what JD don't talk about what my grandfather

[19:38]did what Russ what my my father did what my mother don't

[19:41]talk to me about those things this is the hadith now the

[19:46]principle the Islamic were teaching he says this Allah Allah will Ginetta

[19:50]Leeman Ottowa Oxana God made paradise for the person who obeys him

[19:59]and does good well O'Connor I've done Habashi even if the person

[20:06]is an Ethiopian slave he says wahala can our lemon I saw

[20:10]who and God created the fire for the one who disobeys him

[20:17]well au canna say you done parecía even if it's a saying

[20:20]from the family of the prophet in Islam its actions my iman

[20:24]has to demonstrate itself and my actions I have to do what

[20:28]God says I can't expect to be forgiven by not doing watch

[20:34]about that's the red line whatever's watch up in Islam that's the

[20:37]red line I have to do that if I don't do that

[20:43]there's no double standards in Islam the Quran is very clear about

[20:47]this another one surah 3 verse number 132 God says this in

[20:53]the Quran well I T hola were assumed obey Allah and the

[20:59]messenger Lancome Torah moon maybe God will show you mercy do what

[21:05]Allah says north or azusa's maybe Lancome tour huh maybe God will

[21:12]show mercy so Islam is pushing us to action responsibility doing our

[21:16]duties what has God want from me not this idea of resting

[21:19]on our laurels thinking everything's going to be ok expecting miracles when

[21:23]I don't do my part no why would a lot of mercy

[21:27]on that kind of a nama I heard a story once that's

[21:29]not true they said once there was a Christian preacher and what

[21:33]he did was he decided to skip Sunday service and go bear

[21:36]hunting be a little bit naughty one day so he went over

[21:41]to go bear hunting went up in the mountains and then he

[21:45]was surprised by a grizzly bear so he went to take aim

[21:47]at the grizzly bear and the bear was rushing to get him

[21:52]and then trying to take aim he stumbled and his gun dropped

[21:55]his gun drop and the bear came charging right at him the

[22:00]bear hit him he started to roll down the hill now gun

[22:02]on one side dead bottom of the hill legs broken and the

[22:07]bear coming now to get him so at this stage he raised

[22:12]his hands and he made door he said Oh God make this

[22:14]bear a Christian and what happened the bear stopped just before was

[22:19]about to eat him the bear raised his hands to heaven and

[22:25]said oh god bless this meal I'm about to have amen why

[22:30]would one expect I don't do what God says and then they'll

[22:34]be mercy God will show kind well that only makes sense Islam

[22:37]do what God said and then mercy do our responsibility in kuntum

[22:45]mu'minin' so the focus and Islam is on responsibility duty and action

[22:50]and then of course that supernatural help from Allah arrives so now

[22:55]question is it enough that I have intellectual conviction and when it

[23:00]comes to the watcher but I do have that commitment I perform

[23:02]The Lodger but is that enough let me tell you something that's

[23:08]a little bit scary brothers and sisters more alia also prayed more

[23:15]alia not only would he leave the prayers but not only would

[23:21]he offer prayers he would lead the prayers there's Martha WAP for

[23:27]praying in Jamaa more than that shimmer shimmer made hajj sixteen times

[23:33]is just going the watch oh is that enough there's another condition

[23:39]that you and I have to make sure that we're aware of

[23:43]in order to be considered true mumineen where we can expect God's

[23:47]favor that last condition is this in order to be considered a

[23:51]menthe men we can't pick and choose with Islam we can't have

[23:58]our favorite parts of Islam we have to do whatever God says

[24:02]it's natural sometimes certain duties certain Islamic responsibilities are things that naturally

[24:08]the nafs likes and enjoys but then there's other duties and the

[24:15]person looks at them and they find this particular Duty is difficult

[24:19]I don't like this duty it goes against my interest now what

[24:22]the Quran tells us is that they're always spen people throughout the

[24:28]course of history people who would pick and choose when it came

[24:32]to the religion their favorite parts of the religion they would do

[24:36]but then the other parts of the religion that were difficult but

[24:40]it's still from the same source God said both sides the person

[24:44]would go over and they would not do the other part of

[24:47]the religion what happens is you'll see from the ayat of the

[24:53]Quran God would call them out it wouldn't be the case that

[24:55]someone would go over and one part of Islam Allah Akhbar whatever

[24:58]Allah says we have to do this and then now another party

[25:02]stood from the same book God said it if you have intellectual

[25:05]conviction it should be enough once God spoke in and the person

[25:08]would say no I don't like that part of Islam Islam is

[25:13]a buffet I take what I like that is actually not considered

[25:18]Islam not considered Imam the ayat of Quran are very clear about

[25:23]this the Quran tells us a story this is surah Baqarah verses

[25:28]number 84 and 85 about a group of the hoon the Jews

[25:30]and the time of Moosa they were the Muslims the time of

[25:35]Musa we were in the time of Musa we will be following

[25:40]Moosa no double standards the Quran tells us that he's yahu these

[25:44]Jews what were they like actually they were like this when it

[25:48]came to the laws the social laws of their religion that had

[25:52]to do with their fellow Jews they wouldn't respect those laws the

[25:56]Quran tells us they would do them to them they would oppress

[26:00]them they would drive them out of their lands they would kill

[26:01]them they would do so many terrible terrible things to them but

[26:04]what was so interesting about the Jews is that if these Jews

[26:09]their fellow Jews the same when they drove out if they were

[26:11]brought back to them they came as prisoners as slaves then they

[26:17]would say well now we have to ransom them we have to

[26:19]follow the holy book we have to do what our Deen says

[26:22]so God calls them out why would you go over and pick

[26:26]and choose god says this in the quran a fatima nuna babe

[26:30]a little kitty would tuck for una be Bob do you have

[26:35]Iman and part of the book do you believe in part of

[26:36]the book and you do covert apart why would you drive the

[26:39]Wow if that's Haram why would you kill them if that's Haram

[26:43]why would you back one another up and doing the loan to

[26:45]them if that's enough why do that and then now all of

[26:50]a sudden get holy and pious and say the holy book has

[26:51]taught us God called them out do you believe in part of

[26:56]the book and you do Cofer - part of the book you

[27:00]see this kind of faith picking and choosing my favorite parts of

[27:04]Islam that has plagued the followers of the al-bait from the time

[27:09]of the a debate you've had people who would do parts of

[27:15]Islam but wouldn't do other parts pick and choose the things that

[27:19]were difficult those laws that were against their interests they wouldn't obey

[27:24]those once I'll give you another a true story in the time

[27:30]of my moon my moon as you know is the Khalifa of

[27:32]the Abbasid he's the one who later will martyr Imam Reza his

[27:40]father Harun martyred Imam al caught them so these are not good

[27:44]guys my mom was talking and my mom said that actually i'm

[27:49]shia he's talking to his inner circle and his people were like

[28:14]father went for Hajj I went with after Hajj he goes to

[28:17]Medina when he goes to Medina he sets up attempt in that

[28:21]tent he tells people to come to the tent Harun al-rashid is

[28:26]doing this come to the tent and tell me your lineage if

[28:28]you're from Unser if you're from bani hashem tell me who you

[28:33]are and he said my father would give gifts to these individuals

[28:36]who are coming to the tent depending 200 gold pieces Niren dinars

[28:41]to 5000 depending on who their lineage was so he's going over

[28:47]people coming in I am from this tribe I am from Quraysh

[28:49]I'm from this I'm that was giving them this money he said

[28:53]and then suddenly we heard from somebody standing at the door that

[28:56]there's a man who's at the door who says his name is

[29:01]Musa the son of Jaffa and his lineage goes back to a

[29:04]leave an ABI talib so my mum's telling the story he says

[29:10]when this happened things changed in the tent suddenly my father told

[29:14]us the princess he was like mind your manners he told them

[29:19]let him in the mom was writing like he had come riding

[29:21]on a donkey took him over to the tent when he when

[29:24]he was saw thee he said don't get off the donkey you

[29:30]come in on the donkey riding in the tent so he said

[29:32]mom came he's writing cuz he had insisted he said we went

[29:36]over we helped him off my moon doesn't know at this time

[29:39]who he's dealing with just this man named Wilson so we go

[29:44]over help him he says not only that my father goes over

[29:46]and he makes new subnet Jaffa he doesn't know who that is

[29:50]he makes him sit in his place he sits lower than him

[29:57]he's asking him for advice he's speaking to him and the Imam

[30:00]is giving him advice and telling him to do this telling him

[30:04]to do that so he's like wonderful so then after that then

[30:06]he told us to help our uncle so we have to go

[30:11]over and we're now helping him back on the donkey the Imam

[30:16]is now leaving he says walk him to his house we still

[30:18]don't know we're dealing with we're going over and we're walking him

[30:20]to the house he says that no sup no job because he

[30:23]doesn't know who he is at this time he turned back to

[30:27]me and he said that after your father you're going to be

[30:31]the Khalifa you're gonna be the Caliph after your father I want

[30:36]you to be careful with how you're going to deal with my

[30:38]children once you start to rule so Mamun says when this happened

[30:44]when I came back to see my father he says I was

[30:45]more bold the other brothers were there too but the one was

[30:50]more both who talked to my dad which was me so I

[30:55]told my father I said father who was that I want you

[30:57]brothers and sisters to pay attention to the Arabic of what Harun

[31:00]said haroon replied amana's this is the leader the Imam of the

[31:11]people waha jet Allah Allah shall take he's the Hodja of God

[31:18]the proof of a lot of the people were Khalifa to honor

[31:21]a body the Hanifah of God over his servants is this individual

[31:28]so I won't sit but you you saying he's the Imam of

[31:32]the people he says that I got this by force he continues

[31:37]he says well Musab no Jaffa Imam or Hakan Museveni Jaffa is

[31:42]the true Imam what law is worse way along and he says

[31:47]that he is a hot to be mohammad rasool allah sallallahu wasallam

[31:51]many women I'll help jamia he is more deserving of the maqam

[32:00]of rasulallah than me and all of creation so this is how

[32:03]my mom became she has father introduced him he said this is

[32:06]the truly mom so if that's the case if it's okay intellectual

[32:14]conviction doing part of the religion the mom owns also she more

[32:18]than that I'm urban alas he wrote poetry about good year you

[32:26]and I are witnesses the video now we're bearing witness they were

[32:30]eyewitnesses what happens in Islam there is no picking and choosing it's

[32:36]all of Islam Islam as a package deal whatever it is that

[32:42]Islam has said now something else more that the ayat of the

[32:45]Quran tell us as a warning not only the Quran teaches that

[32:51]somebody is picking and choosing is not moment MA or likeable more

[32:54]meaning in surah noor there not a movement in addition to that

[32:58]the Quran tells us something else the such a person is going

[33:04]to be mean and a bully if somebody's picking and choosing they

[33:08]have their favorite parts of Islam other parts they know God said

[33:11]it I last spoke I'm sure of that but I pick and

[33:16]choose I'm comfortable with that the Quran warns us this person is

[33:21]mean and a bully it doesn't matter the level of their religiosity

[33:25]I'm very religious when it comes to certain parts of Islam but

[33:30]this other part I know God said it though and I am

[33:32]now you know it's okay the Quran warns as the Quran says

[33:37]that rather they are Vaali me I said meaning a bully the

[33:39]Quran says they're actually though a mean balalaika and home of godly

[33:45]more these individual actually oppressors if someone picks and chooses in Islam

[33:48]there'll all em it just matters their circle of influence so you

[33:55]and I let's make sure some of us are of marriage' belay

[33:58]j-- when it's time to get married make sure we don't pick

[34:05]a spouse who picks and chooses with islam who says i know

[34:08]what it's LOM says and i can do something else God isn't

[34:14]an authority over me even if it's logic I don't do it

[34:16]that person it's a little bit scary we're not going to be

[34:22]able to experience that true peace and security that we want to

[34:25]experience in marriage that Sakina that we're supposed to experience a marriage

[34:29]that's not there if the person doesn't submit to a higher authority

[34:32]we don't want to be that way or marry anybody like that

[34:40]otherwise what we'll have is instead of peace we'll have the quiet

[34:45]before the storm peace peace through superior firepower peace but not the

[34:51]peace that Islam is talking about I'll give you an example another

[34:55]story that's not true they said once this couple had been married

[35:00]for 50 years so they went and somebody said well you've been

[35:03]married for 50 years what's your secret have you been married so

[35:06]long and the guy said well what happened was this when we

[35:11]first got married we went on a honeymoon trip we went on

[35:13]a honeymoon trip and went in this honeymoon trip and what happened

[35:15]was we went to the Grand Canyon we went to the Grand

[35:20]Canyon and we're going down from the Grand Canyon on these mules

[35:22]riding down the Grand Canyon and I noticed that my wife's donkey

[35:27]the mule had slipped and I heard my wife very quietly say

[35:31]that's once we went a little further and the mule stumbled again

[35:40]and I heard my wife very quietly say that's twice we went

[35:44]a little further the mule stumbled for the third time and my

[35:51]wife took out a gun and she shot the mule and I

[35:56]was like I stopped a la animal-rights how did you shoot that

[36:00]pure mule and my wife very quietly said that's once after that

[36:05]we had peace so if somebody is picking and choosing allows not

[36:13]an authority that should be really scary that's not a moment according

[36:16]to Quran I can't pick and choose whatever God said God is

[36:21]the higher authority whatever he wants I want to give you the

[36:25]verses of the Quran about this what happens is well first let

[36:27]me give you a true story about this what happens is you

[36:32]guys have heard about the story of the holodeck the Huaraz were

[36:35]the people who rebelled against the middle Montini they wanted the arbitration

[36:40]then they went over and waged war with the middle maleeni cottage

[36:44]dangerous people terrible people but sometimes we don't know the backstory to

[36:49]the cottage who were they the books of history tell us they

[36:52]say that during the lifetime of honey during the lifetime of Holly

[36:59]the Huaraz removing - na heroin when they were moving to Nara

[37:03]whan the mom had a governor over in that area a man

[37:09]named Abdullah bin kebab of the lovin Kaaba so they went over

[37:12]and the halwa Raj arrested him when the cottage arrested him they

[37:16]interrogated him what is it that you believe about Ali what is

[37:21]it you believe about the arbitration are you which side are you

[37:24]are and Abdul love and kebab gave the right answers the standard

[37:27]answers they said oh you're following your nafs we're gonna kill you

[37:30]in a way we haven't killed anybody they arrested him they brought

[37:35]him in Chains they tied him up they brought him and they

[37:37]brought his wife - his wife was heavily pregnant him and his

[37:41]wife they said we're gonna kill you in a way so they

[37:43]bring them over to a date tree now what happens is on

[37:47]that date tree it's a date tree so the dates were falling

[37:50]one of the call wattage went over and he picked up a

[37:54]date and ate it and other high waters looked at him they

[37:55]said I stopped for Allah how can you eat a date did

[38:01]you have permission to eat that date for a nice but out

[38:05]the date also what happened was that there was a pig one

[38:08]of them are Kinsey a pig one of them went over and

[38:11]he killed the pig and when he killed the pig then the

[38:14]other cold waters told him they said that's facade in the earth

[38:17]how do you bother and kill that pig without permission he was

[38:20]all stuck for Allah I have to go to the owner of

[38:23]the pig get permission I just killed the people after that they

[38:27]killed Abdullah bin kebab slit his throat they killed his wife slit

[38:33]her throat cut open the belly of the stomach killed the baby

[38:36]so from one side very religious very practising hello Haram eating this

[38:44]murder also but the Quran warned us if somebody picks and chooses

[38:50]the Orhan said their volume not mop men volume oppressor so then

[38:55]what is islam teaches then the last condition for faith i say

[39:00]mama he describes as maha deep but i want to put you

[39:02]the verse of quran about this the Imam says this al-islam Hortis

[39:09]lean Islam is submission it's a package deal the Quran is very

[39:14]the Quran only uses language once look at what God God says

[39:17]about this surah 4 verse number 65 God says this Falah war

[39:24]uptick God swears by himself follow war uptick lar you mean own

[39:30]they are not believers lair you mean own hotter you haka mukha

[39:36]FEMA Shara Bey now until they made you Rasulullah be a judge

[39:39]in those disputes that they have between them from Malaya G doofy

[39:43]enthusiam Hara Jemima evade after that once you've decided they don't have

[39:51]any difficulty with your decision or you suddenly move Taslima and after

[39:55]that they sub a thorough submitting otherwise the Quran is making it

[40:01]very clear the person is not considered a moment the believer doesn't

[40:11]being a Mormon getting those promises of Allah is with those three

[40:15]conditions we acted a lot except what was said and heard in
