 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ آيَاتُهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُهُ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوى الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له نقول الحقا وهو يهدي السبيل واشدوى الن محمد العبد هو رسوله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بيحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى تلاي وقونت بيدوين the following verses قال تبارك وتعالى يا أيو الذين آمنوا لا تأكلوا أموالكم بينكم بالباطل إلا أن تكون تجارة عن تراضي منكم ولا تقتولوا أنفسكم إن الله كان بكم رحيمة وما يفعل ذلك عدوانا وظلما فسوف نصله نارا وكان ذلك على الله يسيرا إن تجتنبوا كبائر ما تنهون عنه نكفر عنكم سيئاتكم وندخلكم مدخلا كريما هذا الفرص أما هذه الفرص الله تعالى تبارك وتعالى أنه يفعل الأصبحت من تأكل المدخل من أموالكم الله تعالى يقول those of you who believe who have tasted the sweetness of an iman don't take one another's wealth in ways which are haram and from the ways that people can take wealth from one another in a haram manner is by stealing for example or gambling or gambling usually all of those are ways where you take the wealth of someone in a in just way or a prohibited way in the sharia so what is it that we do we take the money from one another in a way that is pleasing to both parties الطريق طريق التجارة trading buying because الله تعالى تبارك وتعالى the way that he created mankind is we require something that may be in the possession of someone else I might need a product that person owns the product is his so but he needs the wealth in my in my possession so the sharia what does it do you give him this and he gives you this that's called تجارة trading business which is built upon what طرافن it's built on be both parties are pleased المتبايعيني the people to both parties who are buying are happy one is buying the wealth or he's taking the wealth and the other one is taking the product and that's حلال as the sharia يعني states and points out and what is permissible in taking from someone or in other words the methods in which you can take product from people the methods which are permissible are far more than the methods which are حرام but the shaitan whispers to the person to go and take that wealth from the person in a حرام way then the آية or the آيات are a rent read it mentions don't kill one another don't take the life of someone else and إن شاء الله تعالى I will I will mention the relationship between don't take wealth from each other in a حرام way and don't kill one another the relationship between it and the reason why الله تعالى he connected the two as I will mention إن شاء الله تعالى in the episode and then الله concluded the verse by mentioning that he is subhanahu و تعالى is very merciful to to his creation and then الله تعالى in the verse after that he made a warning subhanahu و تعالى that those who take the wealth of the people بالباطل in falsehood and that he goes and he kills either kills other people or he kills himself that الله تعالى is going to deal with that person severely and that that person has exceeded his boundaries that was set for him and that الله تعالى is going to burn that person in the hellfire and he's going to place it in him and I was going to place him in that hellfire and that this is not something very hard on الله سبحانه و تعالى then الله تعالى he addresses these the Ibad the slaves he addresses them سبحانه و تعالى and he informs them to stay away from fully into sins the major sins he doesn't stay away from it سبحانه و تعالى and so that's the overall meaning of what is in those verses and finally he says سبحانه و تعالى that if you stay away from the major sins and if you stay away from being consistent upon the minor sins الله تعالى will place you into جنة سبحانه و تعالى and what a good place to be so let's break those verses down I've given you the overall meaning in it let's now break it down first verse الله تعالى he says ياء يولدين أابنو those of you who believe who've tasted Eman who believe in Allah who believe in the day of judgment who have Eman and we all know the famous statement of عبد الله و ابن المسعود رضي الله تعالى عنه where he said إذا سمعت الله يقول if you hear الله تعالى تعالى saying ياء يولدين أابنو if you hear it فأرعها سمعت bring your ear close فهي ياء يولدين أابنو straight away listen be attentive something's going to be said he said it's one of two things either you're going to be commanding to do something or you're going to be prohibited from something whenever you see ياء يولدين أابنو right after what you're going to see is either a command or a prohibition so you're being addressed إن شاء الله تعالى as a mu'min so you should try to or you should listen attentively so Allah says ياء يولدين أابنو those of you who believe so is it a command or is it a prohibition that came after it's a prohibition لا تأكلوا أبوى لكم do not eat one another's wealth بالباطلي in falsehood what does that mean it means the way that you try to take someone's wealth should not be بالباطل إلا أن تكون تجارة it has to be or it should be so look at this this is one of the مسائل or one of the points that the رولة ما I took from here that the مستثنة the استثناء doesn't have to be from the مستثنة أمين هو doesn't have to be from the same جنس and also we'll think there's something that scholars talk about which is if a person wants to do an exception does the thing that you're going to do the exception from have to be the same as the thing that you're doing the exception for what does that mean for example you say جاء القوم with the people came إلا زيد except زيد okay pay attention the people came except زيد زيد is from the people that makes sense that's from because they're people and زيد is a person is from the people they're all the same jinns they're from the same هه they are from the same essence but are you allowed to say جاء القوم with the people came إلا الخمار except the donkey some scholars they said you can't say that it's a it's not allowed for you to say that because the donkey can't be an exception from ألقوم because ألقوم is humans people and the donkey is not part of them so why would you make an exception from it some scholars they said it is allowed and that's a discussion we've just we've we've tackled and we've spoken about in other places but the scholars who say that you can't this is the evidence that they use which is الله said يَا إِلَذِينَ عَامَنُوا تَوْزُوا فِيُهُ بَرِيْبَ لَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ دُوْنُوتْ take one or do not eat one another's wealth بينكم بالبارطلي in falsehood and then after that he said إلا أن تكون تجارة unless it's what it's a tijara the scholars they said تجارة was never ever taking the wealth of someone by falsehood so why would there be an exception aslan and of course those who have the other opinion they still argue that this eye is not strong in this regard but that's not what we want to speak about here okay الله says يَا إِلَذِينَ عَامَنُوا تَوْزُوا فِيهُ بَلِيبَ لَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ دُوْنُوتْ eat one another's wealth or take one another's wealth بينكم between yourselves بالبارطلي in falsehood إلا أن تكون تجارة unless it's by way of tijara that tijara is عن تراغم منكم it's your يعني please with one another's trading in this issue and then Allah says وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ دُوْنُوتْ kill your nefs don't kill one another إن الله كنا بكم رحيمة very little الله تبارك وتعالى is one that is very merciful to you what's the relationship with this verse with the previous verse before it the ayat before it الله تبارك وتعالى was talking about the نكاح and he was talking about how to deal with the concept of نكاح and etc and now Allah is moving on to the concept of wealth the reason is because wealth is the means to marriage and every ayah has a relationship with the ayah before it and the ayah after it the Quran is connected the way the part to marriage is by money in other words if you want to get married you would have to have money and so a lot of people they get married and then they want and a lot of people they want to get married but they don't have the means to get married so what do they do they get the money from a haram means the sharia has to continue on this issue that's why a lot of the times the school or majority of the scholars when they write in issues of fiq they start with and then they speak about and there are some scholars who speak about and then they speak about and they follow the order of these verses and means once you make money then you get married and the categorizations of books of fiq are based on that the first one is your relationship with and then there comes the second chapter which is البويور باينساني and then in books of fiq the third chapter is the third chapter is النكاح marriage divorce and issues like that are spoken about and then there's the chapters of الجنايت crimes that people commit because when people make money and then they get married a lot of the time people transgress they've got comfortable life so they go to the جنايت crimes that they commit so there's a chapter for them and then right at the end is the chapter of الحدود capital punishments where consequences of those crimes that the people have committed so here it's in that order in the sense where marriage was spoken about but what is the means to marriage it is through wealth so الله تعالى He talks about it سبحانه وتعالى الله says يا إيه الذين آمنوا those of you who believe الله is talking to the مؤمنين do not take لا تأكلوا here means اي لا يأخذ بعضكم أموالة بعضن لا تأخذ بعضكم أموالة بعضن بغيري حقن لا يأخذ بعضن now this is important to say لا يتأكلوا أموالكم بينكم بالباطل because sometimes a person's wealth and though some people explain it to say don't forcefully take people's wealth that's not a right تفصير of the ayah because sometimes in the شريعة the qazi will be forced to take someone's wealth forcefully in order to provide for his wife or even the wife is allowed to take some money from her husband if he's stingy and he's not going to give it to her she doesn't he doesn't want to provide for her he doesn't give her anything whatsoever for her to put her hand in his pocket just to get food for herself and her kids the Prophet permitted it for him that when she complained to him she said يا رسول الله ابو سوفيان he doesn't provide for me he doesn't give me anything the Prophet ﷺ he said خذي ما يقفيكي أنت وانتي وولدكي take what is if enough for you and your child so this is not to her taking the wealth by بالتل she took her حمال or she took her rights بحقن with rights okay what this means is لا تأكلوا أموالكم بينكم بالبالتل it means اي من وسائل الكسب المحرمتي stay away from the means which are حرام which wealth where people take it from such as الربع والقيمار gambling الربع and the likes of these things and then الله تعالى he says إلا أن تكون تجارة unless there is a trading تجارة عن تراضي منكم where you're both pleased with one another you're allowed to a person's got a project you want you've got the money buy and sell buy and sell no problem this is permissible and if both parties are happy with one it with one another they can a person can say I don't want to sell my products in Islam he has the rights to do so and so does another person say I don't want to spend on your product I don't want to buy your product both has to be based on and تراضي both parties have to be pleased and then Allah says وَلَا تَقْطُلُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ what's the relationship between لا تَقْطُلُ أَمْوَانَكُمْ بَيْلَكُمْ بِالْبَالْطِلِ and وَلَا تَقْطُلُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ don't kill yourselves first of all وَلَا تَقْطُلُ أَنفُسَكُمْ there's two understand is that can be taken from it don't kill one another don't kill another person who is innocent or don't even kill yourselves as in you don't kill yourself don't commit suicide the eyes prohibiting both وَلَا تَقْطُلُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ it can mean you don't kill your own self and it could also mean do not kill your Muslim brothers and sisters and also don't kill the non Muslims who Allah تعالى they're prohibited from you to kill there are non Muslims which we cannot fight with those who have covenants and those who have يعني who are not محاربين we're not in a state of war with them okay so Allah says وَلَا تَقْطُلُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ don't kill one another but don't kill yourselves so what's the relationship between it the relationship between it is الله تعالى تعالى just spoke about wealth okay and not taking it in a haram way a lot of the times disputes and argumentations that come from wealth lead to bloodshed if it's not done in the right way people tend to become aggressive ولي ذلك وَلَا تَقْطُلُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ when the ayah says يَا الَّذِينَ عَمَنُوا لَا تَقْطُلُ أَنْوَالَكُمْ بَيْلَكُمْ بِلْبَعْطِلِ one of the things that people take one another's wealth is gambling and gambling what does it do it brings البغباء it brings animosity and hate as a lot of probability in the ayah سبحانه وتعالى when he says إِنَّمَ الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنْصَابُ وَالَزْلَا مُرِجْنُ مِنَ عَمِنَ شَيْطَانِ فَجْتَريُّهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْرِحُونِ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ الشيطانَ أن يُقِعَ بَيْلَكُمْ وَالْعَدَاوتَ وَالْمَغْضَاءَ في الخبر والميسر الشيطان يريد أن تقوم بأعطاء ونموصة في حياتك إلى أحد أحد عندما يقوم بأعطاء الكثير من الناس يقوم بأعطاء يقوم بأعطاء ويقوم بأعطاء يقوم بأعطاء بعضهم يقوم بأعطاء يقوم بأعطاء حياتهم كل شيء they've owned ويقوم بأعطاء وأنهم لديهم لا شيء left anymore they come in and they kill people لذا when wealth is taken from one another في طريق حرام هذا ما يحدث يقوم بأعطاء يقوم بأعطاء هذا ما يفعل لذا ترى ما الشريع أخي our religion it's not as what you're seeing today around the world it's damage control let things happen and then we'll solve it later if you look at western constitutions and laws you will really find the problem with it is that they put in place and they allow the means to take place and then they try to stop the consequences later it just makes no sense why are we not stopping the means the things that will lead to this should we not stop it so it doesn't lead to it no no no let it be for example for example if you look at western countries kids are not allowed to be disciplined don't they don't really allow you to really discipline your children children have been given so much rights over the top إسلام has already given enough rights to them but they've given them as they call it rights this is not rights this is a volition to the child himself so the child literally has more power than his parents but then when you see when you see a young kid recently I just online I've watched I watched I saw on YouTube an incident that took place I broke the hearts of many people around the world was it 13 and a 15 year old girl who stole a car of a Muslim Pakistani man who had kids who was an Uber driver 13 and a 15 year old girl who was trying to rob a man's car in New York still his car from him take his car and he died from that incident he died we've lived in the West we've seen it we ask ourselves this question what is it that led to this what made this happen in the شريعة the religion of الإسلام it's not a religion that just allows this it takes it takes it upon itself to make sure that it protects things like this to never happen so discipline in the child protecting the child from a very young age showing him the path giving power and empowering the parents that's what الإسلام is about here look at the same thing الله تبارك وتعالى says make sure when you take from one another make it in a حلال way why if we do that because you're not going to fight and kill one another everything it's connected the شريعة tells you don't look at a woman that's not lawful to you why because it's going to lead to zina don't listen to things which are haram music and etc what's going to happen because those things are going to lead to hypocrisy or they're going to lead to zina or they're going to lead to لواب وهاكذا when the list goes on that's the حكم when it comes to the شريعة الله says ولا تقتلوا أنفسكم don't kill yourselves إن الله كان بكم رحيما الله is very merciful to you سبحانه وتعالى ضحاك ابن مزاحيم and suudi and other great scholars they mention that the ayah when الله تبارك وتعالى he says ولا تقتلوا أنفسكم don't kill one another that the ayahs can take both meanings but it can take the meaning of don't kill your Muslim brother or your يعني innocent individual don't kill them ومن قتل النفسه بشيء في الدنيا عذب به يوم القيامة and the second one is the حديث that I just mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ speaks about don't kill yourself don't commit suicide so you're not allowed to kill a person as Allah mentioned سبحانه وتعالى لا تقتلوا نفس التي حرام الله إلا بالحق don't kill an innocent person you're not allowed to that's one the second one is that you're not allowed to kill yourself but that's what the Prophet said anyone who kills himself ومن قتل النفسه بشيء في الدنيا whatever way that you kill yourself عذب به يوم القيامة the day of judgment you're going to be punished with that same thing that you killed yourself so if you killed yourself with a blade the day of judgment you're going to be punished with that blade if you killed yourself by taking poison you're going to be punished by it حديث أبيهورا I specifically mentioned من قتل نفسه بحديدة anyone who kills himself with a blade فحديدته في يده the person will be placed the blade will be placed in your حان يوم القيامة and guess what يتجوّأوا بها في بطه في لارج عنم it's going to be your punishment the hellfire and you're going to stay in the hellfire forever as the hadith mentions خالد and مقلد فيها أبدا you're going to stay in the hellfire forever the hadith even says وَمَنْ شَرِيبَ سُمَّنْ anyone who drinks poison فا قتل نفسه and he kills himself because of the poison that he takes then he's going to be punishing himself يوم القيامة with that poison that he took and he's going to stay there forever if you killed yourself with a rope and as you struggled yourself to death then you're going to be punishing yourself يوم القيامة with that rope that you took and you're going to stay in the hellfire forever so brothers and sisters you're not allowed to kill innocent people and you're not allowed also not to kill yourself okay I get why another benefit you can take from it is وَلَا تَقْتُلُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ is if we take the interpretation here means one self because we explained what's the relationship between يَا الَّذِينَ عَمَلُوا لَا تَأْقُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْلَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ اللَّةِ يَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَا وَالَا if we take that interpretation which is don't kill one another the relationship between it if we say وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَكُمْ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَكُمْ is that it means don't kill yourselves what's the relationship between يَا الَّذِينَ عَمَلُوا لَا تَأْقُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ the relationship is some people when they go into financial debt and they're not able to provide for themselves and what they tend to do is they tend to go out there try to make wealth in a harab way they might kill other people and some people what they do is they commit suicide they commit suicide they don't want to live anymore they want to leave the dunya and they commit suicide because of what financial issues الله تبارك وتعالى spoke to us already he said to us إِبْنَ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا الله is merciful on his creation ذُرَّحْمًا الله has mercy upon his creation however much you believe what you're going through is very hard and tough just remember الله is merciful to you then you are to yourself after that الله تبارك وتعالى he says anyone who does that does what either kills himself or kills the people around him or he takes wealth in a haram way anyone who does that ومن يفعل ذلك anyone who takes أموال الناسي بالباطم takes the people's wealth in a false manner or he kills himself or he kills others ومن يفعل ذلك عدوان وظل من يفعل ذلك مع قصد ومن يفعل تساعدة ونقصد هذا يظهر لأخوه إذا كانت تحدث أنك لم تكن تعرف أن تفعل ذلك تفعل ذلك تفعل ذلك هو حرام أنت لم تكن تعرف أنك لم تكن تعرفه في الشريع بالطبع you're not going to be sinning for it جهل is an excuse لكن هذا مع الوصول لأخوه أنت تحاول أن تفعل ذلك قبل أن تفعل ذلك في هذه التساعدة إذا كنت مجموعة لديك أشياء إذن يجب أن تتعلم حكام البيوع ونعلم البيوع المنهي وعنها شرعا ماذا تفعل التساعدة ومجموعة ونعلم يجب أن تتعلم أو يمكنك أن تجد من who's learned and studied and grounded ونجد من يعني تقوم بإمكانه على مجموعة أسفلك عندما تتعلم يجب أن تكون سفشة هذه هي أحد الأشياء التي أتذكر في مجموعة شريعية أن الكثير من الناس يوجد بيزنز وفي مجموعة أسفلك يوجد مجموعة يجب أن تتعلم ويخبرهم نعم تأخذ هذا المنهي ونعود إلى هذا المجموعة نعم أخذت أسفلك أخذت أسفلك أخذت أسفلك أخذت أسفلك أخذت أسفلك المعلومات لم تقللت عن مجموعة أسفلك ويخبرواها يوجد تحقيقات ويخبرونها أنها مجموعة ومجموعة ومجموعة ونجد منها وبعد ذلك يمتخفوا حقيقةك لماذا الكثير من الناس ليس لديوا أعلم المعاق الذين فرقون في شريعية الذين يعرفون فرق الإسلامية الذين أتقا بها الذين أتخلونك أن هذا حراء هذا حراء هذا العرم ، لماذا لا يوجده ، كثير من الناس لا يوجده ، so that's important to have someone who looks into it for you and the person who generally looks into it because I've come across a lot of situations where a lot of people who sit on that board have to be people who fear Allah تعالى and the way that a lot of them get caught up in this is that the person will say to you look find me a loop ho ho fatwa I'll give you a percentage of the profit that we make and then the person instead of looking at it from a shadow perspective he thinks that or he believes that if I say حلال they invest they get money from it I've got a basic salary which I'm already getting Alhamdulillah I'm also going to get percentage from what they make I'm probably going to be a shareholder and they're going to put me in that person should remember that you can fall under the you're taking the money and wealth which is حراب then Allah تعالى he said the word نصليه it means we'll place him and put him inside he means a severe hellfire one that will burn him and destroy him Allah will place him in there وكان ذلك على الله يسيره that is an أمر سهل على الله تعالى it's something that's very easy for الله تعالى it's not hard for the person who deserves it for the person who committed those crimes who killed an innocent person or committed suicide or even took people's wealth unjustly remember that وكان ذلك على الله يسيره punishing you in that hellfire is a matter which is easy to Allah تعالى finally الله تعالى he says this is the ayah that the scholars use to say that the sins some of it are major sins I mean some scholars they said there's no such thing as major and minor sins some scholars that's the verdict they gave they said there's no such a thing as a major and a minor sin all of them are disobedience of Allah don't look at the sin they said hey look at the one you're sinning too the one you're disobeying and some scholars they responded they said no there is if you look at نصوص الوحيين they're are they're major and minor sins okay and this is one of the ayahs that is used which is الله تعالى تعالى سهل if you stay away from the major sins the slave my beloved brothers and sisters is never in the شريعة ever expected to be what to be perfect الله never created you in that way that's why what you need to stay away from is the major sins and the consistency of the minor sins and stay away from being consistent upon minor sins and also falling into the major sins and الله تعالى تعالى mentions here الوعيد severe punishment for what in doing the major sins and falling into the major sins okay brothers and sisters and he mentions to stay away from it in تجتنب كبائرة if you stay away from ما تنهون عنه that which you've been prohibited from الله says نكفر عنكم سيئاتكم ما معنى نكفر عنكم سيئاتكم الوعد نكفر comes from the word كفر and what does it mean in the word it means it means to conceal and to hide something here it means الله will conceal your sin for you لكن what does it mean نكفر عنكم سيئاتكم الله will forgive you and he will conceal for you سبحانه وتعالى the minor sins that you did so in this ayah there's the major and the minor both mentioned that's where the school is used it from the first part of the ayah said how is there a major and minor the person he stayed away from the major major sins because he said if you stay away from the major sins what is it that الله is going to expiate for me what is it that الله is going to conceal or forgive me for if I've already stayed away from the major sins it's only the minor sins then so this is the ayah that the scholars used to say there is major and minor sins then الله تبارك وتعالى he says we will place you into مدخلا كريمة and مدخلا كريمة it means a جنة that's what it means مدخلا كريمة it means a جنة and that's the goal of a lot of the مفصيرين الشيخ ابن عثيمين he says ندخلهم في مكاني في مكاني we'll place them in a place الله is saying we'll place them in a place this في مكاني دخولا كريمة a place that الله تبارك وتعالى has blessed a noble place الله تبارك وتعالى will put the person into and that is جنة جنة is the best place a person can be in because جنة is what my brother my brother's sisters it is مالا عين الرات ولا أدن سمعة ولا خطر على قلب بشر it is a place where eyes have never seen ears have never really heard of its reality whatever you hear جنة is always beyond and above that you don't really know جنة مالا عين الرات ولا أدن سمعة ولا خطر على قلب بشر and really nothing like it has come to your heart all of these beautiful luxurious places you'll see and you'll say wow i want to spend an evening there i enjoy جنة is greater beyond that it's better and greater than that i'm going to stop there إن شاء الله وتعالى anything which i have said that was wrongly correct is from me and shaytan and الله he's messing it up both free from it سبحانه
