 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي معااذا said I asked Aisha رضي الله عنها what is the reason that a menstruating woman completes the fastest but she does not complete the prayers she Aisha رضي الله عنها said are you a heruria I said I am not a heruria but I simply want to inquire she said we passed through this period of menstruation and we were ordered to complete the fasts but we're not ordered to complete the prayers معااذا said I asked Aisha رضي الله عنها فقالت ما بال الحيض تقضي السوم ما بال الحيض تقضي السوم ولا تقضي الصلاة فقالت أحرورية أنت قلت لست بحرورية ولكن أسأل قالت كان يصيبنا ذلك فنؤمر بقضاء الصوم ولا نؤمر بقضاء الصلاة منتفق عليك هذه الحريث is حكم الحيض ونفتع المساعدة who is what who is on her menstruation are you with me and she is on her postnatal bleeding what does she have to do does she have to bring back her fasting does she the woman who is on her menstruation in the month of Ramadan are you with me is she allowed to bring back her fasting does she bring back her fasting does she have to does she have to bring back the prayer so let's look at the issue of rationality people use أقل right what's more important صلاة or fasting the greater thing she's not told to bring it back the one that's less greater is told for them to bring it back are you with me brothers you find nowadays many Muslims who like to use the issue of rationality if it doesn't rationally make sense to them they're Muslims they say they're Muslims they call them they're عقلانيون they'll say to you it doesn't make sense it does not make sense to me give another example to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم they came to him when I came down وذكروا مما ولا تأكلوا مما ولا تأكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عريه لا تأكلوا و الله's name has not been mentioned in it وإنه لفسق وإن الشياطين لا يُحُونوا إلى أولياءهم ليُجادلوكم فإن أطاعتموهم إنكم لمشلكون هذه الآية came down in response to an issue that they brought which is that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would say to the companion what did he say to them if you slaughter and the blood comes out of the animal are you not eat it and you say بسم الله are you allowed to eat it you are allowed to eat it what about if the animal dies by itself and you didn't slaughter it so are you guys saying to me right now what you killed is more better than what Allah killed you guys are saying now what I killed in my hand is حلال and is good what Allah killed is not good they said this to the Prophet شبهة they brought to the Prophet and companions are you with me and we have people who do that tonight صح we have another issue that people do which is عليبة بطالب إذا لو كان الدين لو كان الدين بالرأي إذا رليجون كانت about intellects and IQ it's all about intellects and rationality لكان it would have been the wiping of the bottom of the leg would have been more befitting than the top part of the leg when you're doing the مشعال الخوفين right because the bottom part is what you walk on and it's the part that's dirty the top part is clean why are you going to wipe over that listen to these brothers when we humans try to use our rationality and our intellects we've really got the pixel of the whole picture that's what we have with us so we've got a limited ability we're limited in our look Allah sees the whole picture He sees everything سبحانه وتعالى and his ruling is based upon what's around and what you can't see what we can't see right and that's exactly what happened I'll give you an example of something like that نبي الله نوح what did he do نوح what did he do to his son when he saw his son he said to him come with me what did his son say to him سأوي إلى جبل يعصمني من الماء are you with me brothers نوح عليه الصلاة والسلام is on the land his son is climbing the a mountain and it's like if a flood happens this mountain is going to save me is that rational is that irrational or is that a logical absurdity it's rational like that's smart that's true a mountain here those people are going to die you're going to come down every school are you with me brothers here what happened was عقل verse the text he says my son no no one can save you today صح وحالة بينهما الموجفة كاله ابن تيمي said and he's booked he's the one who extracted this he said when he used his عقل and نبي الله نوح used his revelation the result that came out was in favor of the text the revelation or the or was it in favor of the the عقل and the intellects that was used by his son the text فحالة بينهما الموجفة كاله من المغرقين are you with me brothers نبي الله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when he gave this ruling عائشة اووما came to her look at the sahab is how they were once they had a text they didn't care about what brain you used and how smart you thought they have a text they believe this more than your restricted narrow intellects the text was stronger to them pay attention to this a woman comes and she said to عائشة مابال الحائظ تقف الصومة ولا تخد الصلاة why is it that the woman who's fasting sorry the woman who's on her menstruation postnatal bleeding she has to bring back the fasting but she doesn't have to bring back the prayer how's that possible عائشة رضي الله عنها they say you're smart look at it that's a good point she said حرورية انتي حرورية are a group of the خوارج حرورة حرورة was a place close to كوفا was a place in Iraq close to كوفا are you with me brothers that's where they stayed when they ran away from when they wanted to go against him they went to a place called حرورة that's where they stayed and they used to be called حروريون صح عائشة رضي الله و تعالة عنها و انت Entlife when did she do she said are you حروري this shows you scholars they do they say if a person resembles a group in a statement that he says you can ask him if he's from that group if a person says to you متعة for example you can say to anyof try right he has the right to say no, I'm not doing that are you with me but you have the right to say to them are you a حروري هل أنت هذا؟ عائشة أسألها even if that person is from the general mass she didn't know anything عائشة wants to verify is that what the group is on she said to her no I'm not then عائشة رضي الله عينا رسمان لدن she said to her the woman said no I am not a harouri but I am only asking if that's what the case is that used to happen to us menstruation that person need to breathe it used to happen to us at the time of the prophet فنُ أُمَرُ بِقَضَا إِصَّوْمِ we used to be commanded to bring back the fasting ولا نُ أُمَرُ بِقَضَا إِصَّلَاتِ and we weren't commanded to bring back the prayer we're slaves we're slaves the master spoke the master tells us what to do we submit and we hear don't use your brain and leave that alone that's what عائشة أسألها from the understanding she said to her are you with me brothers and that shows you the sahab how far they were from these groups they did involve themselves with it and they were far from it especially when they had the evidences when they when they had the evidences if the عمر رضي الله عنهما reported that the messenger of Allah used to observe it to calf in the last 10 days of Ramadan عنهما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعتكفوا العشرة الأواخرة من رمضان this hadith is the issue of اعتكاف اعتكاف عبد الله بن عمر narrated that the prophet كان رسول الله يعتكفوا العشرة that the prophet he used to do اعتكاف اعتكاف means staying in the masjid and it is specially العشرة الأواخر the last 10 days of Ramadan that's when the prophet used to do it عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى توفاه الله until Allah took his soul and anything that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did it على وجه العبادة if the prophet did something in trying to get closer to Allah through it then we do it like that and if the prophet did not do it getting close to Allah by doing it we're not allowed to do it the prophet was a human being right the prophet sometimes would go out to do call of nature right are you with me brothers it would go out to do call of nature you're not allowed to go and say I'm getting closer to Allah by doing the call of nature where the prophet did it are you with me I'm not allowed to because when the prophet did that did he do it من تقرب I did it that's what some of the scholars said are you allowed to are you allowed to let your hair grow and like the prophet عليه وسلم and make your hair reach your shoulders doing it to get closer to Allah because the prophet did that are you with me الشيخ محمد من صالحه العثيمين he mentions in the شارح of شمائل المحمدية he doesn't mention it الشيخ عبد الرزاق من عبد المحسل عبد البدر brings the statement of الشيخ من العثيمين if you go to شمائل المحمدية that the issue of letting your hair grow if you're in a community especially the people I'm from my شمائل المحمدية if I let my hair grow they think I become a gangster they're gonna say ايوه لا بولكي so when I go back to my country if I let my hair grow they're gonna be like he's from the UK so based on that it's not a khikmah and it is not سنة for me to let my hair grow I have to look at أعرف and the customer of the people I'm from because when the prophet did it he did it out of his people this is what they used to do it's the customer of his people صح and it's not a matter of تقرب or whatnot the beard like is an exception the beard is an exception the command came regarding it are you with me brothers it's an exception the prophet specifically commanded it now that's the issue now this is the issue now can I do I get rewarded for looking like the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام dressing like him doing the things that he used to do on a normal basis I wanna walk like him like when the prophet was said that when he would speak to somebody he would never talk to them from the side of his neck he would never talk to them like that he would turn his whole body around and face them fully give his whole body to them صح good manners عليه الصلاة والسلام if you say I wanna do all of that and I wanna do how are you with me I wanna walk like him I wanna talk like him I wanna act like him is it permissible is it not I think we should do a lesson on the prophet as in the way he looked and then I discussed that issue furthermore I did it once I did it once I did it once part of it is recorded I expanded on it more there now I'm gonna go to it right now so the person who's doing the اعتيكاف has to do the اعتيكاف in a masjid where's the Jama'a and that masjid you have a khutbah going on to be on the safer side you can't do اعتيكاف in your university masjid صح you can't go to university and say do I mean اعتيكاف no you can't no and that condition is strong are you allowed to do اعتيكاف in other than the three masjids are you allowed to are you allowed مكة مدينة and بيت المقدس حرارة الله may Allah free it from there Zionists are we allowed to go to are we allowed to do اعتيكاف in other than those three masjids the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام he said that there's no اعتيكاف except in these three masjids عليه الصلاة والسلام but Allah the Almighty when he said in the Quran what did he say huh what did Allah the Almighty say but it was the dream for the ayah وعكفوا هنا في المساجد صح في المساجد المساجد is general المساجد is general some scholars they took the opinion which is that that this generalization is specified with the Hadith of the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام that the three masjids are only the places and I humbly accepting that there is there is another opinion out there I hold the opinion that there's no اعتيكاف except these three masjids خلص but there are strong اعتيكاف of scholars of knowledge and understanding of comprehension of the religion who hold the other side كشق بلا عثيمين وبنوباز and others were noble who hold the opinion that you are allowed to do اعتيكاف in other than that three masjids so as we said it's a valid strong difference of opinion in this issue that one needs to respect but they could have a discussion regarding it if they wish to and have a fruitful understanding from it and when does the اعتيكاف start so the issue of اعتيكاف ارسائر رمضان can you do it are you with me this حديث that we're standing over is that it's a kind of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعتكف العشرة او آخر من رمضان are you with me but others have come and they brought other arguments forward and the arguments that they brought is that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم mentioned that waiting between two prayers is what so it's like you're in a prayer so some of the scholars they said that's it اعتيكاف also there's discussions regarding what's the مدت العتيكاف what's the shortest period that it can be can it be one hour one minute how long is it is it one day is it two days what's the minimum a person can say I did it اعتيكاف are you with me brothers there's a book written إن شاء الله if I do get the chance if I do stay and I don't travel this week there's a book called الانصاف في اعتيكاف it's written by عبد الحق اللكنوي الحنفي حنفي سكولا if I do get the chance إن شاء الله it happens that don't go by next week by next weekend I think we should do next weekend maybe that book the issue of اعتيكاف the حكوم and the حكام and the أقوال of the heart regarding it going into more details we could do that إن شاء الله that's what I said that book would give it justice there's a lot of I don't want to go over right now there's a lot of introductions that we have to agree upon that's if we do stay like you I do manage to stay but for what we know now right now is that a person can stay for a day إن شاء الله and they can consider that to be اعتيكاف a day they could do that and the Prophet ﷺ especially إن حديت بسعود الخودر إن من اعتكف المعي فاليعتك في عشرة الأواخر anyone who wants to do اعتيكاف with me the Prophet said he should do it at the last 10 days what is it that the person can do while staying in the إعتيكاف first of all the person needs to know they are مقاطع they've disconnected themselves from everything else and they've come here to worship Allah و تعالى so what is prohibited from you is sexual relationship with your wife even when you're not fasting at night time you can't creep out of the message and go you cannot do that you cannot also even kiss your wife whilst you're in the إعتيكاف if she comes and visits you one is not allowed to do that also the person is not allowed to leave the message إلا لحاجة ضرورة نسسة a need that makes you God such as إغتسال if you want to have a bath or if جناب happens to you etc or if you need to go to the toilet and of course we don't have that problem because the toilets are in the messages back in the days it wasn't in the messages it was outside are you with me also if the person wants to go out to get food if necessity hits if it's a group of people everybody should not go it should just make one or two people go or one person go and get the food that person who's going is going for a necessity are you with me عايشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she said that the messenger he would never enter the house unless there was a need for it unless there إلا لحاجة unless there is a a need for it and you need to know the process of the house was stuck to the mischief عليه الصلاة و السلام as for other acts of obedience acts of obedience that are not obligatory such as going and visiting a person who's sick going and participating in a جنازة and other than that فلايف I do not allow to do it I do not allow to do it unless unless you conditioned unless you made a condition in your beginning of your اعطيكاف and this is the issue we need to talk about if you place a condition before the اعطيكاف that you will go in that particular day because you know there's a family member you need to visit and you do make it then that's an exception based on the two opinions of the scholars brothers and sisters I've seen a lot of people do اعطيكاف in the misages and I realize they use their phones this goes against the concept of اعطيكاف the whole concept of اعطيكاف is you're actually here while you pray while you're reciting the Quran while you're reciting the Quran the Quran and ذكر benefiting from your time are you with me benefiting from what benefiting from your time seeking knowledge studying books of تفسير and at توحيد and hadith and other than that the messiahff Allah has mentioned the hadith كل شيء يترك فيه سموض لا شيء يريده حسناً أهم الأشياء أن أخي ساعدة أريد أن أعرف عنه عندما تجدت المعلومات التي تحتاجها خلاص فقط أخبرتك أنها مرحباً هل أنت معي؟ وكتبتها أمراً وكتبتها إلى المدينة مثل ما أفعله مع صفير بن تحريي قالت أنني أتتهته وأتيته أزوره ليلن وحد night I came and visited him فحدته وبدأت أن أتحدث with him ثم قمت إلي أنقليب فقام معي ثم قمت إليه للمعاً قالت أنها إليها وده وقمت إليها فتحفظت أن أعرف أن أخي الأشياء التي يحتاجها لعرف عن الأشياء التي يحتاجها عن المدينة فتحفظت أن أعرف الأ日 ما يأتي إذا لم يأتي فتحفظتها إذا أعرف أن أعرف أحد وعدي لترى ما عليها إذا أحبت المدينة أنت معي لا تريد أن أعرف يجب أن تتعلم one Hadith a day و this was meant to be when the last 10 days are about to start اتكاف was actually meant to be taught the night when everybody is coming to Itikaf and you're telling people tonight that Itikaf is going that's how he authored the book I think it should also be taught again in Ramadan by one of you guys you guys studied it now, right? اللهم هالبلغ فليبلغ الشاهد منكم الغائب the ones who were here should convey it to those who weren't here so now we're going to enter the next we're going to take five إن شاء الله تعالى I don't know what happened Brother Qasim promised he said to me he's going to order pizza and he's not here so he said it Allah is my witness, he said that he said pizza, I heard it clearly and I'm expected there's going to be chicken and there's pineapple and stuff in there so don't worry brothers and then إن شاء الله تعالى we'll finish today look how we're going smooth, right? we've got ten more we've already done ten just today, no, eight we did we can finish it on the next ten بإذن الله الكريم so we might be able to finish before time we'll leave the rest for Q&A questions you guys might want to have things you might want to know إن شاء الله تعالى عيشة رضي الله عنها said with the start of the last ten days of Ramadan the messenger of Allah would pray all the night and would keep his family awake for the prayers he tied his lower garment and devoted himself entirely to prayer and supplication and in the wording of Muslim the messenger of Allah used to strive more in worship during the last ten days of Ramadan than he strove in any other time عيشة رضي الله عنها قال كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل العشة وأحيا الليلة وأي قاد أهله وجدت وشدت المعزر متفق عليه وفي رواية المسلم كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يستهد في العشر الأواخر ما لا يستهد في غيره عيشة رضي الله عنها she tells us in this hadith دليلون this is an evidence this hadith is an evidence and it talks about في العشر الأواخر من رمضان the last ten days of Ramadan and a lot of people brothers the momentum doesn't build in Ramadan from the beginning the whole point of Ramadan is what the first couple of days you're getting used to everything you're building up when the last ten days come you shouldn't die it's when it sparks for you it's now you're gonna go in at the beginning of a race when you're a fast runner like me I don't let it out once I'm always smart I just let them go oh look at them they really think they're fast just let them run but then when we get to the crowd they're breathing heavily I'm gone they're eating my dust I got witnesses I got videos it's a live footage some brothers were here I don't want to say these they looked out where they see me brothers so that's how Ramadan is the first twenty days you're building up to it when the last ten days comes that's each day hard work عايشة said كان النبي يو the prophet was the word كان it shows the consistency إذا دخل العشر when the ten days of Ramadan comes in أحيى الليلة ما معنى أحيى الليلة means he gave life to the night he would spend the whole night praying سهراه it would keep him awake عليه الصلاة والسلام بطاعة أبيديان and he would sleep very little عليه الصلاة والسلام the reason is because the reason why عايشة used أحيى الليلة is because what's the opposite to death what's the opposite to حيات death right and sleeping is what it's death so he wouldn't he would be awake he would be alive عليه الصلاة والسلام عباد remembers of Allah سبحانه وتعالى some may put اعتراب forward and say what about the hadith of عبدالله عبدالله when the prophet prohibited what did he do he prohibited the person from praying what like that and that hadith we said remember yesterday we spoke about it based on the statement of أبنو رجب الحنبري from his كتاب اللطائف المعارف we quoted it yesterday which is that it's done consistently and you can't do that every time in the year but when Ramadan comes it's an exception it's an exception وَأَيْقَدَ أَهْلَهُ مِيزْ وَأَتْ he would make his wives wake up they would make sure they are also out to benefit with them and this shows brothers a husband involves his family in the knowledge and the benefits they're part of the program they're part of the program husband ain't just doing his own dhikr and his own little thing the wife is in there with you if you're not able you facilitate things for her you facilitate it for her whether it means that you need sometimes look after the kids or what not you do so so she can participate in the khair and the dhikr and the ibadah in this time وَجَدَّ and he would work hard وَجَدَّ من اجتهاد he come with عليه الصلاة والسلام وَشَدَّ مِيزَرَهُ شَدَّ مِيزَرَهُ is when he he would tie his pot it's a qunaya qunaya meaning what it's an indirect way of saying that he would stay away from his wives he wouldn't have any relationship with his wife شَدَّ مِيزَرَهُ means he knows it's not the time to go and spend time with his wives and have any relationship with them now my beloved brothers and sisters Ramadan is tarbiyah as I said before it's a madrasa it's a madrasa of tarbiyah cultivation what's the most important thing in Allah's eyes which actions the actions which are the ending right the prophet SAW said إنما الأعمال بالخواتين إنما أدوات الحصر the reality of a person's actions is the ending you can be a believer all you want it's the last moments of your life brothers this is what matters وإن حديكم لا يعملوا بعمل أهل الجنة إذا ما يكونوا بينه و بينه إلا ذراء فيسبقوا علي الكتاب فيعملوا بعمل أهل النار فيتخلوها وإن حديكم لا يعملوا بعمل أهل النار حتى ما يكونوا بينه إلا ذراء فيسبقوا علي الكتاب فيعملوا بعمل أهل الجنة فيتخلوها you can 60 years of your life if you work hard and the last 2-3 minutes you die then you just believe and you die from kufr so what really matters is the khawatim the endings and that's what these last 10 days and the prophet knew that that's why he would go in with those last 10 days عليه الصلاة و السلام و لذلك السائب بل يزيد he said أمر عمر عمر عمر الخطاب عمر كماند أبي بن كعب وتميم الداري أبي بن كعب وتميم الداري those two companies he commanded both of them أن يقوم للناس that they stand for the people بإحدى عشر ركعة 20 والركعاز و قد كان القاري و يقرأوا بمئة تيني بeach one would read 200 200 200 verses حتى كنا نعتمد على العصائي that he would it would be so long that we would we lean on to our sticks that we would sticks to lean on we would lean on things because our legs will go for how long they will pray من طول القيام وما كنا ننصري for none of us will leave the prayer إلا في فروغ الفجر أنت فجر كمان we pray the last ten nights you know what it is is that the tarawih and the taju should be in and the people should just be given 15 to 20 minutes to do their Suhoor go in to Fajr again the last ten days of Ramadan that's how it was for the Salaf for this Ummah pay attention to this when you're in Ramadan you come with two jihad the first one is جهاد بالنهار جهاد at daytime okay جهاد at daytime على الصيام by fasting by fasting and the next one is جهاد بالليلي and a jihad at night with what على القيام by praying so daytime your jihad is a fasting how is it you're protecting it from what لا فلا رفتة ولا فسوقة you're not coming with fisk you're not going off you're not speaking foul language if a person insults you you're enduring patience this is what you're doing جهاد all day you normally get angry when people say this to you you're restricting yourself all day your jihad then night comes in the jihad turns on to you and what does it become now pray again so those two jihad if you don't realize that's what Ramadan is about you're in trouble you're in trouble if you don't realize that and anyone who realizes that those are the two things he needs to work on daytime I'm going to I'm going to fast and at night time I'm going to what قيام I'm going to miss out that he has fully benefited and taken reaped the fruit from Ramadan also my beloved brothers and sisters in this month a lot of the people what they do is they make their wives and their spouses spend a lot of time in the kitchen they make the wife spend and she's in the kitchen والله Ramadan for her has become more of a don't do that my advice brothers this is not time of food and eating and drinking tell your wife to cook the most basic food are you with me brothers the most basic food and tell her to worship Allah are you with me brothers if you can help her in the family house and you can cook with her that was the sunnah of the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام كان في مهنة أهله he was in the service and the help of his family عليه الصلاة والسلام but that month is not for you to play so much burden on to her which she is then not able to fast properly because all day she was in the kitchen and they look at it how sad it is when the iftar comes she can't even eat the iftar because she was beat she spent it in the kitchen it was too long has anyone of you ever cooked here has anyone here ever cooked those who cooked no I haven't not much other than Callows Frosties and wheat of Xs صح if you cook there's a website called حواش I don't know if you guys know about it it's a Somali website sisters cheat on that that's the website they use to cook food for you guys brothers and if you get married when the internet cuts and they cut your internet and you realize what kind of food do you eat and the internet is down in the house anyways the point is if you cook in the kitchen and you spend time in the kitchen you realize that there you can't eat it's like you ate everything the smoke everything went in your mouth it's just you don't have the appetite for it so she's cooking something she's not going to eat much from it and she's in there all day لا شكولا ريب she has so much reward for it no doubt Allah is going to give her if she comes with good intention it's a reward for her but رمضاني is not for that are you with me brothers it's a تلاوة with ذكر and the family are together on this عبادة worship are you doing this that's what it's about that is what it's about so place that in your wives نشارت and effort and hard work this is it this is the month every problem that we may have any hardship that we may go through Insha'Allah this is the month everything can be solved نعم نعم فضر إن شاء الله when we look at the Sharia when we look at the Sharia when it comes to righteous deeds there are deeds which are exclusive to you are you with me brothers they are exclusive to you it doesn't surpass you and it doesn't transmit to anybody else it's a good and the Sharia likes that but what the Sharia prefers more is the good deed that goes beyond you so when you do you're really doing it for who? yourself and for this help that you're doing is greater so the عبادة which is قاصرة is not like the عبادة which is متعدية it's better than the عبادة which is قاصرة the one who teaches is better than the one who plays in the Wafil somebody comes here right there oh this time we were doing the class they were praying praying praying praying they are not like the one who's the teaching the teaching itself because this is تعدي this is exclusive to you نعم
