  • Writing a Will

    Writing a Will
    Jul 19 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honor of the prophets and messengers. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and his companions. May peace be upon him and upon his family. My brothers and sisters, may Allah bless the questioners. One of my friends asked me a question based on the Fajr Reminder which was sent yesterday. And he asked, he said that I said in the Khatira, which I did, that to make a will against the Hukam of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is haram. And that is true. If I did not say to make a will against the Hukam of Allah, my apologies, but that's what was meant. And JazakAllah for the question. The Khatira was on whether it is permissible for anyone to change the laws that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created. On the basis of times have changed, geographies have changed, people have changed, cultures have changed, whatever, whatever, whatever. The question was, is it permissible or would it be permissible for people? And by people, I don't mean ordinary people like myself. I mean, even the ulama, even the scholars of the time. If all of them get together, if every single scholar, on the face of the earth at that time, if they all get together and they decide and they pass a resolution or they pass a or they make a fatwa or they give an opinion to say that any of the laws that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made is no longer viable, no longer permissible, no longer applicable, no longer valid. Then there. Their collective opinion would be trash, would be rejected, and they would face the wrath of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on the Day of Judgment for trying to change what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala prescribed and commanded in the Quran al-Kareem. They would, in fact, leave the fold of Islam if they pass a ruling to say that anything which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala prohibited is permissible. And if anything which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala prohibited is permissible, then they would leave the fold of Islam. So they would leave the fold of Islam if they pass a ruling to say that anything which Allah has permitted is prohibited. Both ways, if they permit something which Allah has prohibited, they would leave the fold of Islam. And if they prohibit what Allah has permitted, they will leave the fold of Islam. Now, having said that, the question was therefore, can I write a will or not? There are two points to understand this. First of all, to write a will against the rules of Islam. The rules of inheritance that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned in the Qur'an al-Kareem would be haram. If somebody wrote that will, then that action would be an action of kufr. If somebody wrote that will with the belief that his reasoning and his logic was correct and that the Qur'an is faulty and that the Qur'an should be changed and therefore since the Qur'an cannot be changed, therefore I will change my will and I will write a will in opposition to the Qur'an. For example, in the Qur'an, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives the son two shares and the daughter one share. Now there are people who say this is unfair, this is anti-women, this is something which should be changed and they write a will giving their decision. So, the person who says that will, then he will write a will and the daughter will be given the same share. Now, this action is haram. To do that is kufr. And a person who does that with understanding, with believing that he is right or she is right has left the fold of Islam. Wallahu a'alam. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guide us. Now you might say, well, I would like to give my son or daughter an equal, son and daughter in equal share. So, let me step one, take one step back. So, let me step one, take one step back. And say that first and foremost, your son and your daughter and you are the creatures of Allah. Allah created you.

  • Repaying debts of gratitude

    Repaying debts of gratitude
    Jul 18 2025
    https://youtu.be/cacSqpWOgSg Auto-generated transcript:It's a beautiful misty morning and we are walking here in Ashley, Razawai, in cyclist from a telephone, granting us these opportunities, the beautiful places and this company of good friends. There was a man called Hakim At-Tai. He was the chief of a tribe in Nets called At-Tab-Bahit-Bannu-Tai and his son Uday bin Hatim became a Muslim. He was one of the Sahaba. Hatim At-Tai was known for his generosity. And I remember one of the earliest stories that my mother told me, and I must have been a meek, I mean I was definitely under 10, I was probably maybe five or six years old, was the story of Hatim At-Tai. And she used to say Hatim Tai. So the story that my mother told me was that Hatim At-Tai was one day a man, he had a horse. He had a particular stallion which was very famous all over Arabia for its breeding and for its speed and all the noble qualities of a horse. And he was a very famous man. He was a very famous man. He was a very famous man. So Hatim At-Tai was famous as the owner of this horse. So a man came to him once and his intention was to buy this horse. So he came to his village. He came and met him. And as is the norm in our culture, when you meet somebody, even for a transactional reason, you don't immediately go there and start talking about the transactions. I've come to buy you a horse. I come to buy a car. I come to buy you a vehicle. I come to buy you a car. I come to buy you a vehicle. And this man bought me a horse. And it was a very, very nice horse. There was a courtesy involved. And you meet the person. And the person, you know the other person shows their hospitality to you. And so on. And all of this is part of the part of our culture. So this man went there and Hatim At-Tai, he came to see him. So Hatim At-Tai invited him home. And as we know in Islam, a guest has a right to be hosted by you for sure. And this is the case. This is the case. This is the case. three days without question any guest so he has a right to be hosted and so hot on tight no he we hosted him and so on and at the time of the meal they had this yeah wonderful roast meat and so on now they passed two days pass and then the man said to him I have come here with this intention of requesting you to sell your house to me so how do I say to him for once I wish you had not followed our culture he said what do you mean he said because we are going through a very difficult time in terms of drought having a massive drought here in this country and when you came as a guest said the only thing I had was the horse and I slaughtered the horse to for you to eat and if you had told me you came by the horse I wouldn't have started us now see this see the level of generosity see the level of you know the the hospitality toward the host what in Urdu we call mehmanawazi another story about Hathiman Tai which Maharani just told me is somebody asked him they said who do you know anybody who is more generous or have you met anyone who was more generous than yourself because Hathiman Tai was known for his amazing generosity as I mentioned and the man said yes I know someone who was more generous than me and he said I am not a generous person I am not a generous person than I am so this man said what's the story who's who this person so have to meant I said is somebody who owned 10 sheep so this person asking the question he said this is a strange thing a person owns ten sheep and he's more generous and you say yeah so he said what's the story so the story is that only when given services people have the capacity but to I went to the village of this person and so as this usual custom of people are being hospitable and this man he slaughtered one of his sheep and he brought him brought the meat and so on cooked it and brought it for heart even tie now how to a tie he said when I was eating the sheep and eating the meat he said I love the brain the mothers so this man noticed that I loved

  • Who has the power

    Who has the power
    Jul 17 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the honorable ones who have been sent by the messengers, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and peace and blessings be upon him and his family. And then, my brothers and sisters, Sheikh recited the famous ayat of Surat Al-Baqarah after Ayat Al-Qursi. And he recited it starting from, But if you look at the ayat before that, Allah said, After Ayat Al-Qursi, Allah said, And after that, Now this ayah, Allah said, The one who denies, turns his back on, opposes, goes against, The Ta'gut, false deities, The one who denies the Ta'gut, False deities, false gods. And by deities and gods, it not only meant some stone image, It is everything which we consider to have power in our lives. And when you see, if you want to see, and ask yourself this question and say, Well, in my life, what has power? What am I giving power to? Then you will see, You will look at and see, what is it that you obey? Who do you obey? So it's not just a question of saying, power, I know my mother is so important, father is so important, But you don't even call them, you don't even go to see them, forget about obeying them, so there's no power. Power is, It's a function of obedience. So we obey those who we believe to be powerful in our lives, because, We feel that by obeying them, they will do something good for us. So Ta'gut can mean laws which are against the laws of Islam. For example, Allah created an entire system of inheritance. So when you die, Allah created a system whereby your wealth goes so much to your wife, so much to your husband, So much to your children, if your parents are alive, then so on to the parents, and so on and so on. Allah created a whole system. Now some Muslims are not happy with that. So they want to change that. So they will write a will, Which is against the Shari'ah distribution system of the Quran. And if you live in a country like this or in any of the non-Muslim countries, Then that will legally, from the perspective of the country, that will work. It is a legal document. But what you have done there is, you have gone against the law that Allah created in the Quran. And therefore you have committed Kufr, And you have left Islam. By writing such a will. Right? So Allah is saying the opposite. Allah is saying the one who does the opposite. The one who says, I have rejected Kufr. I have rejected Ta'gut. I have rejected all false deities. So I give you an example of false deity being a law. In this case, the law of inheritance. False deity can also be in terms of halal and halal. Allah created, He declared some things to be halal and some things to be haram. Some businesses to be halal, some businesses to be haram and so on. All of which are geared towards us. For us to benefit. Because Allah is the most powerful. Nobody can harm Allah. Nobody can benefit Allah. So if Allah for example, prohibited the use of intoxicants, Use of drugs, That is to help whom? One of the finest ways of destroying your life is, Start drugs. It won't take long, very quickly. You will be toast. Allah created laws of behavior with each other. To be dutiful and to be, to serve your parents. So, Between brothers and sisters. Allah said, If there are difficulties, solve those difficulties. Solve the problems. Don't create problems. Aslihu bayna akhawaiqu. Allah said, solve the problems between the brothers. Don't create problems. And so on. But if you go against those, Then you are befriending the Taawud. You are obeying the Taawud. So first thing I remind myself and you, Let us look in our lives and say, Who are the false gods that we are worshipping? Now you might say, I'm not worshipping, But this is worship. Worship is to obey. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, One man from Najd, His name was Uday bin Hatim. He was from the,
