 باركاوت السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته وبركاته بكم لأحكام SOS متبجر بشكل بسيارة ومن فعله بيشعار لأموره الشخص يتصادق الشراثي حفظ الله ون تتحدي هذا العام نتوقع أخر مراجا وعلى إلى نهائك المثال أنا your hostMosinShahi المساعة في بجد بني الشيخ عليم has السلام عليكم الشيخ ورحمة الله الشيخ، دعني اتطاق و السؤال I want to ask is We know that a muslim man It is Haram for him to wear gold What about jewelry which is gold plated or watches which are gold plated Is that ok for him to wear Or is that also considered Haram بالنسبة أن هاتع وجوبي أحتياط وجوبي يجب أن يكون بعيدة use such gold-plated. وأدخل مطالق. الأطبع و الأجهزة. لقد نبتعه مع هاتع وجوبي أحتياط وجوبي. والدخول هو if somebody is following somebody saying he can refer back to another مرجع who says that yes you can work, work them because the said is making a haityat here which is precaution, a haityat وجوبي so the one can refer back to Marjah who allows it What about if I have glasses and our spectacles and have a gold frame, is that acceptable? No, that's not acceptable to wear gold in any means so your gold is not allowed Okay so gold is not allowed, even if it's for medical purposes like glasses, not allowed What about platinum? Is platinum allowed for males to wear? Platinum is a type of metal, it's not gold In this situation yes it is allowed to be used, it's permissible So does white gold have the same verdict the same prohibition as normal gold? You have to ask the experts to see what do they mean by the white gold Is it platinum for example they call it white gold for example type of metal they change it to let's say white and they call it white gold or is it actual gold itself and they somehow changed the color and made it to look like white if the second case is what is meant to be which originally was a gold then they made it white then it's haram and you cannot use it as a male so when it comes to gold and platinum this is for males to beautify themselves another way a man beautifies himself is with tattoos now according to Grandeur Sistani what is his opinion on tattoos? He would mention that he is mentioned in Fatawa that يجيوس في نفسه in principle it is allowed however سمعت سيد المرجح وضع الله would say that it is Makruh to apply tattoo and use tattoo on your body it's Makruh undesirable overall it's not haram but the one should think twice before especially the ones which are permanent are unremovable let's say if you are a youth or a young man and you want to get married it's important that you think twice because you might have the next forthcoming wife or a spouse if she didn't like it then you might be in trouble so things might happen in the future when you grow up you don't know what to do with this tattoo because it's a permanent so we have to think about it twice before we actually apply the tattoo on our body شكرا unfortunately our community no different from other communities we suffer from rumors rumors spread around the community sometimes it's about an individual sometimes it's about a family sometimes it's about a scholar sometimes it's even about a marja as Muslims what is our responsibility in regards to rumors in general people talking bad about other people the Holy Qur'an states بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إن السمعة والبصرة والفؤادة كل أولئك كان عنه مسؤولة surely the hearing the sight and the heart all of those shall be questioned about that we have to be careful not to spread something that causes let's say defame destroys the one's reputation Imam أمير المونع عليه السلام he mentions with this regard he says not everything that is known may be said you can't just say whatever comes on your mouth and tongue just say it it encourages for keeping silence just keep quiet don't talk that's the best thing unless if it's something useful for dunya and akhara don't talk otherwise just keep silence keep quiet most of the now the punishment or many of them are from the the statements of the tongue and mouth imagine one leader can issue a statement and millions might be killed after a few days or weeks wow so it's a severe and destructive means for the one who uses his tongue in the wrong way so it's better to avoid it and to keep silence unless we need to speak and to talk I think the tongue is arguably the most tool when I remember my friend used to say there's 32 guards two gates and it still escapes and I think one of the biggest battles of the nafs is actually to control your tongue speaking of which it leads me to my next question of slandering and swearing is it okay to use such language when joking with friends and stuff to slander and swear again if it consists to be defaming and destructing other's reputations and personalities and it's haram of course otherwise it is not praised it is undesirable and discouraged for the one to use such foul language against his friends especially their مؤمنين I mean you're not talking to somebody who's outside the area so the best things to avoid is to try to learn ourselves and teach ourselves to say wise words beneficial words beautiful words to attract even the non-muslims to Islam when they see us we talk in this way and in this pattern masha'Allah you know we can all be a good example to the whole of society masha'Allah in regards to you know doing good deeds how can one control like his nia and his intention how can one be on the path of Allah perform his Islamic duties and his Islamic acts for the sake of Allah and not for the sake of his own reputation to look good in the Muslim community or to gain more favors or to gain more praises within his community and his friends but rather than actually obeying Allah سبحانه وتعالى we have in some narrations that one of the types of the عبادة of عبد الرحمة الله was to reflect and ponder in the creation of Allah سبحانه وتعالى in the matters of Allah if the individual wants to reach that level in which whatever he does would be for the cause and the intention of Allah سبحانه وتعالى then the one should reflect always have this reflection towards the creation of Allah reflection and think about that the fate and the future of of myself and the rest of the humanity is the hereafter it's life after death so when we have this image of the hereafter of Almighty Allah that we have to stand before Him on the day of judgment the one will automatically move towards offering the good intention in all aspects of life when he is let's say helping others when he is offering a service to the community when he is let's lecturing or giving a speech or even by himself reading the dua and so forth the Quran the citations when you have that image in front of you the life of death and Allah's Almighty سبحانه وتعالى حساب on the day of judgment then the one can easily correct his intention and use the right path towards acting according to Allah's pleasure and satisfaction سبحانه وتعالى سبحانه وتعالى I have a question from someone it says I used to be adherent to the right path and I used to perform the five daily prayers until I came to the USA and I was misled by the shaitan I began to neglect I began to be neglectful of my daily prayers and I could feel that I could not continue on this path and I had an inner remorse since that day an inner remorse since the day I stopped the salah in other words I have stopped the salah but I have not forgotten it and in my heart I am tormented by pain and I know it is the conscience and remorse it has been six months and I want to start again but with Allah Almighty except my repentance after what I have done to myself so we have an individual here who due to migrating to another place has become very neglectful weak we could say in his salah has missed out on six months' worth of salah will Allah SWT forgive this man and what should this individual do as well to compensate for his deeds initially this individual should always keep in mind that Allah SWT is merciful as I've mentioned in the previous episodes that the door of mercy is always and repentance is always open whenever the individual to go back to the good deeds and apply them and repent to Allah SWT the doors are open always and avoid the losing hope towards Allah SWT because one of the greatest sins are to lose hope and to despair from the mercy of Allah SWT one of the greatest sins so the doors are open there are opportunities and he is still this individual he is young the main thing he should do for example he should repeat his Salah as Qada whatever he missed of the prayers and fasting and you know start from scratch from fresh a new page of life and the main thing is to avoid the shaitan because every individual every human being has three enemies is the shaitan the shaitan and the نفس الأمارة the evil self and the corrupt society or the bad friends if the one can control these three main powers and desires and enemies and evils then the one can easily gain that calmness and faithfulness and Eman in which feel and taste the sweetness in his heart so the best thing is to go back to Allah avoid these evil means in his life then he will insha' Allah succeed by the will of Allah in regards to missed prayers I think it's fair to say that sometimes Fajr is the most difficult prayer to wake up for and a lot of brothers and sisters miss that prayer one excuse or not an excuse one reason for this is that people go to sleep late now in the opinion of Ayatollah Shaykh Waheed Khurasani is it okay for someone to stay awake until Fajr and to pray the Fajr prayer and then go to sleep or should one actually go to sleep and then wake up for the Fajr prayer Ayatollah Khurasani would mention that if the one who stays awake would lead to missing the Fajr prayer then he is sinful if this act of staying overnight awake all night and he knows that if he stays awake till let's say half past two and he knows if he sleeps he can't wake up because 3.30 in the next one hour time it's start of Fajr how could he wake up again so he knows that he will miss or she knows that she will miss the Fajr then he becomes as the as the says which means sinful so they say this clear about the fact that if somebody remained awake till the midnight and that caused for the individual to miss the prayer then he committed the sin and they say it and they say it also mentions other facts that in staying awake all night or part of the night has consequences on the body of the individual and to the self the human self and the body so mentally bodily would also harm the individual who stays awake till midnight or most of the night so it's better to avoid it to basically avoid the missing of the bounties that you might get by sleeping early that you wake up early you do صلاة الليل before the صلاة الفجر you do the نافلة and then fajr and then you stay awake till the sunrise and then you sleep after the sunrise great bounties and great ثواب you will gain from such act so it's better for the Dunya and the Akhir for your well-being for the health-wise to sleep early as recommended by the medics and to also gain the Akhira by waking up early at least to pray صلاة الفجر on time and still I mean be awake till the sunrise and you gain the ثواب in both cases and of course if you make the intention that I sleep early in order to wake up with صلاة الفجر with صلاة الفجر on time and do the دعاء and Quran and so forth you would get even the rewards for sleeping early أحسنت it's amazing how Islam has given us all the answers I mean I was looking at the habits of some of the most successful people in the world and they wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning you know the most successful people in the world wake up you know at dawn or you know just before the sunrise is they wake up hour or 2 hours before the sunrise you know to start their day and Islam is already telling us to wake up to praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى to begin your day with إبادة and then go out and then go do what we need to do in your bread or you know go back to sleep if you're tired thank you very much شكرا and thank you to all our viewers for
