[0:09][Music] sh [Music] [Music] [Music] for our to be accepted in this

[1:04]month of Ramadan to pass with blessings and mercy upon all of

[1:07]us let us raise our voices with a loud the discussion on

[1:21]Willa is a very important and divisive topic what do we mean

[1:32]when we say refers to Authority often times when you tell someone

[1:42]right away they think of the of and the IMs of the

[1:51]this is one topic regarding however when we want to look at

[1:59]the greater picture of Will and Authority we see that there are

[2:07]certain positions of authority that are not disputed amongst Muslims there are

[2:15]some positions of authority like the authority of and the that are

[2:21]disputed between Muslims and then you see within the sh school system

[2:25]for example within the Shia school of thought there are different views

[2:33]on will of certain individuals and certain people so let's address this

[2:40]topic of willah and Authority beginning with the first will and Authority

[2:45]that is wag upon every single person The Authority that is established

[2:52]upon every person that is the will of Allah the first power

[3:08]or the first one who has authority over every single being every

[3:13]single creation is God God is the creator Allah is the he's

[3:22]the one who provid provides for us he gives us and therefore

[3:26]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has will over us and there's different L

[3:31]levels of there's means the The Authority in creation he created me

[3:41]he controls my risk he controls my sustenance he controls if it

[3:46]rains he controls if if I'm happy if I'm not all of

[3:50]that that is controlled by Allah subhana tala and then there is

[3:55]meaning Allah subhana tala is the one who legislates laws and he

[3:59]makes them one [Music] upon me God is the one who legislates

[4:07]laws because God has the authority to impose laws upon his subjects

[4:13]and we are the subjects of Allah subhana wa tala now when

[4:18]it comes to the the authority of God this seems like a

[4:23]very obvious God is the creator therefore he has Authority however in

[4:26]the way you see people practice is that practiced as such where

[4:30]people give the authority to Allah subhana wa ta'ala people appreciate and

[4:36]take in and accept the the authority of God often times you

[4:43]say no whenever I disobey Allah subhah wa ta'ala whenever I do

[4:47]anything Haram whenever I delay the waj whenever I do anything that

[4:51]I'm not supposed to be doing I am standing against the will

[4:56]of Allah subhana wa ta'ala I'm disobeying God with a boss for

[5:02]example or a president or a father or someone who has a

[5:05]authoritative figure would they be okay with people disobeying them they wouldn't

[5:10]be okay with it but people live life with disobeying Allah subhanahu

[5:16]waala every day as if nothing has happened and this is perhaps

[5:25]the greatest will that is being disobeyed even before the of even

[5:30]before any other will and Authority it's the will of Allah subhana

[5:34]wa tala that people disobey on a daily basis and sometimes it

[5:39]becomes normalized sometimes it becomes okay because when I prioritize other things

[5:45]in life when I prioritize my money when I prioritize my my

[5:48]entertainment when I prioritize my wealth and other things we start compromising

[5:55]the will of Allah subhana wa tala we start compromising the authority

[6:00]of God I'm going to give you a story this story took

[6:05]place during the life of IM and IM there is a man

[6:14]there's a man who today the grave of IM is in an

[6:25]area that he used to rule this man his name is H

[6:32]this man he was one of the agents and one of the

[6:38]rulers and governors under the rule of under under the rule of

[6:45]Haron there's a man by the name of abdah or he says

[6:52]one day I go to visit and he's the governor of that

[6:56]area he says I visited him during the month of but this

[7:01]man he came and they brought him water and he washed his

[7:05]hands and then they put the food in front of him and

[7:06]he started eating he said I was about to eat but then

[7:09]I remembered it's the month of Ramadan so I asked he tells

[7:15]me why don't you eat he says I don't have an excuse

[7:17]that allows me to eat maybe the Amir maybe you have an

[7:22]excuse maybe you're sick or something he said tells him no I

[7:28]don't have any reason to I'm not sick he tells him then

[7:30]why are you breaking your fast you're eating in the month of

[7:34]Ramadan he tells him I've reached a point in my life where

[7:41]it doesn't matter whether I fast or I don't fast anymore tells

[7:43]him how could you say that what have you done so then

[7:48]he begins and he tells him the story and I'm saying the

[7:52]story to show how sometimes people they're willing to sell their faith

[7:58]and their allegiance to Allah subhanahu wa tala for the sake of

[8:01]this he says one day the governor har he called me he

[8:09]brings a he brings a servant and he calls me and he

[8:11]tells me in the middle of the night he wakes me up

[8:16]he says the har wants you wants you he says I go

[8:22]and harun tells me how much are you willing to give up

[8:25]for us he tells him I'm willing to give up my wealth

[8:31]and I'm willing to give up my life for you he tells

[8:35]him no go he says he sent me back a while later

[8:41]he called me again I got scared he tells me how much

[8:43]are you willing to give up and sacrifice for us he says

[8:49]I'm willing to give up my wealth and my life and my

[8:51]children and my family for your sake he smiled but then he

[8:58]tells him no go back the third time he goes back he

[9:03]calls him a third time he tells him how much are you

[9:05]willing to give up for me he tells him I'm willing to

[9:09]give up he says the has a sword in his hand what

[9:13]am I supposed to say I'm willing to give up my life

[9:16]and my wealth and my children and my Dean and My Religion

[9:23]for you he says when I said that Haron smiled then he

[9:26]tells me to follow this go and follow the servant he says

[9:32]I followed him he took me in a house this house had

[9:36]a well in the middle in the garden in the yard in

[9:38]the middle and three rooms he says he opens one of the

[9:44]rooms and there are 60 men between old between middle Ag and

[9:49]between young they're all tied up he says he gives me a

[9:55]sword and he tells me y start killing them one by one

[9:57]he says I asked them who are they he says I found

[10:01]out these are from the descendants of not the that we're hearing

[10:10]right now meaning literal actual descendants from the the and he says

[10:15]he gives me a sword there were 20 in this room I

[10:19]killed them and we throw the body in the well and then

[10:21]he says he goes and he opens the second room there's another

[10:25]20 in there he says I kill them one after the other

[10:30]and then we throw the bodies in the well and then the

[10:32]third room there was another 20 in there he says I killed

[10:37]them all 19 until the 20th an old man whose eyebrows had

[10:40]come they had covered his eyes he looked at me he tells

[10:46]me what will you answer Allah on the day of judgment within

[10:51]one day you killed 60 from the descendants of Al he says

[10:55]my hand started shaking the sword fell thead tells me do the

[11:01]follow the commands of the khif he says I picked up the

[11:03]sword and I killed the man and he says what what point

[11:07]of me fasting right now what's that going to do right now

[11:10]this story ends here with him but that man Abdullah andri he

[11:17]goes to the IM he goes to IM and he tells the

[11:22]story to the IM the IM of course he was very saddened

[11:23]but the Imam he says a statement he says him giving up

[11:32]on Allah subhanahu wa taala is a greater sin than killing 60

[11:38]SS in one day the fact that you gave up on the

[11:40]mercy of Allah subhana wa tala so this is to bring the

[11:46]point that sometimes some people they're willing to sell their faith they're

[11:51]willing to sell their time they're willing to sell their life their

[11:55]children and even their own faith for the sake of this dun

[12:00]and they let go of the will of Allah subhana wa tala

[12:02]this is the first will that is w a rule of position

[12:07]of authority upon every single individual second my dear brothers and sisters

[12:12]who comes after who comes after God has and authority over every

[12:27]one of us if I'm a true then I have to put

[12:36]in front of me ahead of my desires ahead of my needs

[12:41]and Allah says in the Quran if you truly love God how

[12:52]does that love to God manifest it manifest through the loving and

[12:58]The Obedience of alaih meaning following all the orders of the Prophet

[13:03]today I have to ask myself this question am I truly obedient

[13:07]to Al do I truly follow the Sunnah and the way and

[13:17]the traditions of when gives a judgment do I accept it or

[13:19]do I not accept it Allah says in the Quran [Music] they

[13:30]will not reach the level of IM until they make as a

[13:35]until they make as a judge in their own disputes in their

[13:38]own life's Affairs so this is the of and this is the

[13:50]second most important after the of God and if I am a

[13:55]true follower of God then I have to follow theah of now

[14:02]what comes next that is the position where there's dispute amongst the

[14:08]Muslims who which leadership comes after here you see there's Division and

[14:16]the fact that there's division in this issue the issue of leadership

[14:23]after the prophet it shows that alai was not truly obeyed and

[14:26]if was not truly obeyed then that shows God was not truly

[14:32]obeyed today Muslims they all say we follow the prophet but after

[14:37]the prophet there is diversion there is a there's not a clear

[14:45]path not everyone is on the same page and there's two narratives

[14:48]The Narrative of the followers of the it says you have to

[14:56]follow the one who alai Al appointed and S alai before his

[15:00]death he says very [Music] clearly I'm leaving behind the two wey

[15:10]things you put them on a scale they have to be equal

[15:14]with one another the book of God and my family we have

[15:20]to ask ourselves as Muslims am I fulfilling my role and my

[15:26]responsibility towards the book of God some of us probably never some

[15:28]of us probably we don't read the Quran some of us don't

[15:31]obey the rules of the Quran and second parallel to the Quran

[15:39]are the today do Muslims follow the do Muslims show the love

[15:43]and the respect and reverence and give them that position of authority

[15:47]that Allah subhana wa TAA gave them you see that unfortunately immediately

[15:52]after the death of the Prophet there was a deviance there was

[15:56]an act of betrayal to and the Quran is very clear your

[16:05]the one who has authority over you is Allah and the prophet

[16:13]and from the who this verse it applies to no one else

[16:27]other than Amir after the one who has authority of over you

[16:37]is God that's obvious and there's no dispute about that and from

[16:44]the what does that mean that means I cannot take a f

[16:50]I cannot take aaf I cannot take someone who does not have

[16:53]IM as a leader and this is the first mistake even before

[16:59]you see that the um they went after individuals that were known

[17:05]to be people that were people that would disobey Allah subhah wa

[17:11]ta'ala in the community people that would do wrong this is one

[17:19]and who are they who from the the one who upholds prayer

[17:33]and gives zakat in the state of while doing go and read

[17:40]all of the tap of the Muslims Sunni and Sh and any

[17:43]and you will see that this does not apply to anyone other

[17:50]than which he gave at the Hadith says uh he gave his

[17:56]ring to a beggar he came in the m and was watching

[18:02]and the prophet was watching and the beggar comes out and he

[18:05]says that man who's praying who's doing he's the one who gave

[18:15]me his ring becomes very happy and he says oh Allah my

[18:18]brother M he asked you he says he says M asked for

[18:35]Haron to be his supporter and I ask you [Music] oh he

[18:48]says and just like M asked for Haron I asked for as

[18:54]soon as finished this Dua this verse came down [Music] this was

[19:10]another proof about the of is the unanimously accepted theith that is

[19:18]see sometimes there's meaning there's one chain one person who heard from

[19:22]another who heard from another who heard from another there might be

[19:27]someone who's honest there might be someone who's not honest in the

[19:29]chain and then there's a it means many people you have a

[19:36]wave of people they all heard it from who they all attended

[19:39]and they narrated it to other people no one would come and

[19:44]no one will come and reject that that was the day of

[19:48]he wanted to establish do I have will over you what does

[19:54]he say he gets up and he says do I not have

[20:01]authority over you they tell him yes of course Allah and then

[20:04]he raises the hands of and he says whoever I am his

[20:13]M then Ali is his M today they come and they say

[20:18]no he just did all of this this whole show stopping over

[20:21]a 100,000 people after being exhausted after coming back from the Hajj

[20:25]in the middle of the day on a very hot day just

[20:29]to tell people guys Ali is my friend you think would do

[20:34]such a thing you think would die he knows he's dying he

[20:39]tells them he's dying and then he comes and he tells them

[20:44]is my friend that's it is this how religion has become a

[20:51]joke where he does this just to say Ali is my friend

[20:53]of course doesn't make sense so we acknowledge the will of God

[20:58]and the prophet and now here's where the topic gets a little

[21:06]bit interesting there's other individuals that have Willa over us after the

[21:11]Imam and God and the prophets who hasah over me some of

[21:18]these are disputed and some of these are agreed upon within the

[21:22]sh school of thought after the IM during the time of the

[21:30]of the IM who should I refer to who should I go

[21:35]to who has been given Authority from the Im so for me

[21:41]to go to so that I can take accurate information regarding my

[21:46]faith those are the those are what the referred to as those

[21:53]who narrate thei of the and those are the the scholars and

[22:03]since the time of until now all Scholars are in agreement that

[22:11]the fak The Scholar has a certain level of a certain level

[22:19]of authority in fact all the scholars the majority of the scholars

[22:25]they say that the the he has the authority to give fatwa

[22:32]give fatwa this isal and this Isam this is one second he

[22:36]has the authority to judge between people judge between people because if

[22:42]I have a problem in my life if you have a marital

[22:46]dispute if you have a business dispute who should we go to

[22:48]when we have a when we have a problem when we have

[22:51]a dispute should I go to a non-muslim to judge between me

[22:54]or should I go to someone who judges based on the Quran

[22:56]and based on the Sunnah of and based on the laws of

[23:02]Islam obviously the the thing that I have to do what is

[23:07]wag on me is to go and find what Allah subhana wa

[23:09]tala rules so common sense dictates that now if I don't find

[23:15]I can't have direct access to God I don't how how am

[23:17]I supposed to know the rule of God I don't have access

[23:20]to I don't have access to the IM who should I refer

[23:22]to I go to the this is through common sense and through

[23:28]and narrations so the fak has authority to give fatwa the authority

[23:33]to judge and what people refer to what Scholars refer to as

[23:40]Authority in issues that have to do with public goods the the

[23:47]things that have to do with the community the greater good of

[23:50]the community for example there are orphans who's responsible to take care

[23:55]of these orphans this becomes the duty of the to make sure

[24:00]that the takes care of these orphans or there's someone who's on

[24:03]life support it's the duty of the to come and cover this

[24:09]and and and deal with this or for example there's a issue

[24:11]of divorce a husband is abusive to his wife and he's not

[24:17]he's refusing to divorce her here the fak has the authority to

[24:21]carry out first enforce and tell him you need to change your

[24:26]life and and then tell him to divorce if he does not

[24:28]then he has the authority to exercise the divorce so this is

[24:33]what is referred to as in the matters that have to do

[24:40]with public good and that proof for this is several narrations first

[24:43]of all there's a verse in the Quran Allah says in the

[24:49]Quran if someone does not go by the rules of God then

[24:54]that means you're not really giving the will to Allah so me

[24:59]as a Muslim as aie believer I have to always make sure

[25:02]that I'm following the rules of God and in Islam the rules

[25:07]are five there's not a sixth rule everything in life is either

[25:13]W or Haram or what or or there's no sixth category and

[25:22]how do I know what rule applies to what this I have

[25:27]to go to the rule of Allah subhana tala the rule of

[25:29]God Allah subhana tala is the one who judges what is the

[25:34]rule so I go through through the IM if the IM is

[25:40]not present then through the so in a Hadith and this is

[25:42]in this is a Hadith narrated from he says the IM IM

[26:02]he says if there is a new issue that comes up who

[26:05]do you go to you go to you go to those who

[26:11]narrate our Hadith because they are the of Allah upon you and

[26:14]I am the of Allah upon them in another Hadith he says

[26:22]if there's from you that have no that they have a strong

[26:28]understanding of the the Imam says if there's someone who knows the

[26:43]Halal and theam and they know the Hadith then other people who

[26:48]don't know the Hadith they have to accept this person as a

[26:51]they have to accept this person as a judge because this person

[26:54]they're God conscious they're afraid of God and they're telling you what

[26:59]the IM wants you to know so this is the level of

[27:06]of the now there have been some Scholars and there is a

[27:13]discussion on the level and the basically how much Authority does a

[27:18]have the majority of the scholars they say and the issues that

[27:24]have to do with public goods but there are some Scholars most

[27:27]uh important importantly and the one who stands out the most is

[27:33]IM who came with the theory and he implemented it other Scholars

[27:36]they had a theory but it was not really implemented and that

[27:40][Music] is meaning that the has absolute authority authority meaning just like

[27:49]if the Imam was here the Imam has that Authority the fak

[27:53]has that Authority so this is also a level and discussion that

[27:56]there is some dispute about the scholars the majority they believe in

[28:04]the of only in the issues that have to do with the

[28:06]public good and the divorce and and things like that and then

[28:10]there's a group of Scholars that say no the fak has Authority

[28:14]just like the IM okay so now after the fak who has

[28:20]Authority the Father the father and the grandfather from the paternal side

[28:29]your father had has will over you your father has authority over

[28:33]you now on a in a normal case no one has authority

[28:41]over anyone other other than God and the Imam but the father

[28:45]because of a Del because of a um a ruling from the

[28:50]im a Hadith from the IM the father has will but not

[28:52]absolute not absolute authority over the kids the father has Authority over

[29:02]the male son over his male son up until the age of

[29:04]puberty until the age of puberty after the age of puberty you

[29:11]do not have religious authority to tell him sit here do this

[29:14]do that go here go there he he's a free person to

[29:19]do what he wants yes the father has the moral duty to

[29:24]up give him the proper upbringing and raise him do and in

[29:31]fact is upon everyone not only the father but Allah subhana says

[29:36]in the Quran command your family for Salah because you're the closest

[29:42]person but the father has authority of the child the son up

[29:46]until the age of puberty and this is it doesn't mean absolute

[29:50]Authority you have over this person because you as a father you

[29:56]have to make sure you put his money his funds you have

[29:58]to make sure that you do what is in his best interest

[30:02]not what is in your best interest as a father even the

[30:05]father is held responsible the father must do what is in the

[30:12]best interest of the child so this is um regarding the will

[30:15]of the father over her son now can a father come and

[30:21]take money from his son no legally from Islamic islamically the father

[30:26]cannot unless the father is using that money in the best interest

[30:31]of the Sun for example right now I want to come and

[30:33]put it here I want to put it in this investment it

[30:35]falls in the best interest of the son then the father is

[30:38]allowed to do so otherwise the father islamically by H is is

[30:46]not allowed to but morally he is morally and in through in

[30:50]a manners base the father is allowed to a man comes to

[30:55]and he tells the prophet Allah my father every day he comes

[31:00]and he takes from my money every day he comes and he

[31:01]takes money from me and I'm tired of this what does tell

[31:10]him tells him you and your fa your money belong to your

[31:13]father meaning what are you saying you're coming and complaining that your

[31:17]father is taking money from you everything that you have in your

[31:22]life is from your father everything that you have comes from your

[31:25]parents if your parents are asking you in fact if your parents

[31:27]do not not have it's a it's wag upon you to come

[31:33]and give them it's waj upon you to provide for them so

[31:37]this is the authority of the father with regards to the son

[31:41]now with regards to the daughter same rules same case except that

[31:46]the authority of the father goes a level further only with the

[31:52]subject of marriage only when it comes to marriage if the daughter

[31:56]even after bu even after after she reaches the age of puberty

[32:01]if she is a virgin if she's not been married before the

[32:04]the majority of the scholars they say that the father has Authority

[32:09]only in that case and the father a lot of people they

[32:13]come and they say I'm a father I could tell my daughter

[32:14]you marry this person and you marry that person no doesn't work

[32:21]that way the father has to carry out the best decision that

[32:24]falls in the best interest of the daughter so for example example

[32:28]if a young man came and proposed and this man had the

[32:33]and had the IM and had everything but the man for example

[32:36]speaks a different language as me the man is from a different

[32:41]culture can I as a father all of the other criteria they're

[32:44]there can I as a father say no you do not marry

[32:48]my daughter no I cannot do that here when there's abuse when

[32:51]it's not falling in the best interest of the daughter then even

[32:55]the father loses his authority and it goes back to the fak

[32:59]so the father Yes the father and the mother but mostly the

[33:05]father he can filter if someone came that was not good and

[33:10]the daughter has not been married before then he could come and

[33:13]say no this is not good but he cannot come and tell

[33:15]her you have to marry this person and you have to marry

[33:17]this person there are some fathers they say I'm never giving my

[33:19]daughter to marry to anyone unless it's this person who comes from

[33:24]this much money and this this many qualifications this is Haram and

[33:28]the father does not have that type of authority now someone might

[33:32]come and say what about the mother does the mother have authority

[33:38]unfortunately islamically through Islamic law The Authority belongs to the father and

[33:46]the paternal grandfather the father and the paternal grandfather even even the

[33:49]maternal grandfather does not have Willa over his grandchildren only the father

[33:55]and the paternal grandfather and their will is very limited only in

[34:02]these cases cases of marriage if say for example a girl did

[34:05]not have a father and her her father and her grandfather had

[34:10]passed away then no one has willay over her they can't come

[34:12]and say oh I'm going to bring her uncle I'm going to

[34:16]bring her brother because in some Communities In some cultures the brother

[34:19]they become the dictators they come and they say I'm not letting

[34:22]my sister get married I'm only giving her to this person I'm

[34:26]only telling the the brothers do not have the one ones that

[34:29]have the will they're the father and the paternal grandfather now after

[34:33]the father there is also a level of will for the husband

[34:40]as well but this is a will that is it comes based

[34:45]on responsibilities today some husbands are like I'm going to get married

[34:48]so I could be the boss and order my wife you do

[34:49]this and you do that it doesn't work that way Allah subhah
