 تبطه آدك الأيام فتا القبوريون وغيرهم من الذين يعتقدون في فسقة الناس وجهالهم من الأحياء يقولون نحن لا نعبدوا هؤلاء ولا نعبدوا إلا الله وحدا ولا نصل لهم ولا نسموا ولا نحجوا ولا نحجوا ولا نحجوا فإن قلت if you say to me القبوريون if you say to me that these great worshippers and other than them من الذين يعتقدون في فسقة الناس وجهالهم من الأحياء who believe something in these ignorant transgresses for sake people don't pray who drink alcohol some of them they think they're the olia of Allah okay في فسقة الناس وجهالهم من الأحياء يقولون they will say to you نحن we لا نعبدوا هؤلاء we don't worship besides Allah or we don't worship these things that you can see we don't worship them ولا نعبدوا إلا الله وحدا and we don't worship except Allah ولا نصلي لهم we don't pray to these people ولا نصوم we don't fast for them ولا نحجوا we don't do Hajj for these people قل to I will say to you هذا جهل بمعن العبادة the reason why you're thinking that you're not worshipping them is ignorance of the word Ibadah so this is a problem a lot of people don't even know what Ibadah is do you know what Ibadah is? those three that they mentioned fasting, praying, Hajj they only think those are a handful of things they think that's what Ibadah is Ibadah is a comprehensive word you need to understand what Ibadah is once you understand Ibadah very well it's definition what it means then you can know oh I've diverted it something that is Ibadah I gave it to other than Allah then you'll realize now I was going to explain it to you you see it's not exclusive to that which you mentioned some people only think that Ibadah is exclusive to Salah Psalm, Hajj that's what they think the sheikh said no your ignorance of understanding the word and I tell you this brothers one of the things that people go misguided is why it is the fact that they don't understand the terminology this is a big problem and that's what the enemies of Islam try to do I advise you all if you can read the book the great muhadith his brother has a book called a book called this is our this is our heritage this is our Islamic heritage he wrote a book like that and he talks about how the enemies of Islam the kind of battles that they're trying to put towards the Muslims guess which battle they spend the most time on is through terminologies they will go into your books and they will play with the usage of a word water it down so you don't understand what it means Ibadah will change Ibadah and why how? one of the things that made people misunderstand the word Ibadah is when they translated into the word worship because worship means something different to Ibadah worship only means praying that's only Christians and none of them never believed that a man having intimate relationship with his wife what? never Ibadah for us can be all of that it's comprehensive it goes into how many things so when you translate word they have to be what like for example translating the word توحيد with monotheism it's a مشكلة because that's not the real meaning of it that is not the real meaning of the word توحيد doesn't mean one nest of Allah is the best word the one nest of Allah monotheism is not right monotheism means that you worship Allah you worship Allah alone in monotheism means you worship Allah it doesn't mean you only worship Him you can worship besides something else but it means you worship Allah that's the meaning that they take from it Christians Jews all of them believe that they are monotheistic religions do we consider them that? to us they are مشركين they are what? مشرك so when you use that word he will say I fall under that word as well because the Arabic language is so powerful it can't be translated into the English language we should just take it from the Arabic and put it there like that and say when they ask us what does it mean explain it to them if we can't find the right word for it so these words توحيد should be left with توحيد if we can't find a good English word for it so the word عبادة needs to be understood properly the word عبادة it's ignorance of that word and that's why so many times you see people who go off track in terms of the understanding of the شريعة he doesn't understand what this word means like the اشاعرة the word they had to tamper with that word for the meaning to change so they said the word it means to overtake to have to own to regain you see what does it mean that the great grammarians of the Arabic language like ابن عربي the great Maliki scholar not ابن العربي but ابن عربي the great Maliki scholar who owns the book Al Qabas when he was speaking about the word استوة he said the Arabs don't know استوة to be استولة the Arabs don't know that sometimes you find a person and say to your brother music is halal what's your evidence look at him in Malik saying he's Makruh Ahmed saying he's Makruh what does Makruh mean what does the word Makruh mean to the self Makruh meant Haram the meaning Makruh to be disliked is a later usage use word even Allah in the Quran he used the word Makruh as what Haram افتى الله تكتب الزنا افتى الله تبارك و تعالى تكتب كنن your child افتى الله تبارك و تعالى تكتب big major sins look what he said وكان سيئوا عند ربك Makruh الله يفتو الزنا as Makruh الله يفتو what ان سورة الحجرات و دين الله سيد وكرها إليكم الكفرة والفصوقة والعصيان كفر وكرها does that make sense so what he means here you have to understand this meaning of it before you start going out there and thinking something else like for example I saw a man who said اخي you have to distinguish between اهل الكتاب المشيط كون they are not the same what's the evidence for that what's the evidence for that and then he goes into the into the ayah إن الذين إن الذين وما أمروا إلا ليعبد الله مخلسين له دين حنفا ويقيم مصطلات ويقيم الزكات إن الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب إن الذين كفروا so he said you have to distinguish between the كفار and the أهل الكتاب there are two different things أهل الكتاب are believers كفار are something else why because Allah said إن الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب so from from the أهل الكتاب they are kufar and the sum are not kufar but جهل comes from is that the word what the من here is not meant by it's not some this means good بيانو جنسي and it's like the ayah صورة صورة إسراء where Allah says من القرآن ما هو شفاء we send down from the we send down the قرآن is a cure can you say من القرآن some of the قرآن is a cure بيانو جنس so all of these what I'm trying to say is that if you don't understand the word based on that خبت and filth and a corrupt understanding comes from it does that make sense ولي ده هادك صحاب is if you look at them like when they came to the prophet the ayah ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظل من أولائك لهم الأمن وهم مهتدون when this ayah came down they said يا رسول الله أيونا لم يضلم نفسه يا رسول الله who is it from amongst us who has never transgressed on himself who is it the one that has never done wrong who's never transgressed أيونا which one of us لم يضلم نفسه this ayah is saying الذين آمنوا those who have come with the iman themselves with what oppression أولائك لهم الأمن those are going to have safety on this earth وهم مهتدون and the guided ones الله promised us safety meaning الله is going to give us a man on our lands corrupt safety everything when we come with what when we stay away from ظلم and Allah is going to give us guidance so the Sahaba said oh messenger of Allah who is it from amongst us who doesn't impress everyone oppresses where did they understand that it means all oppression where did they understand the Arabic language when they look at the ayah what does it say it's an indefinite so it's an indefinite in the context of what we studied this indefinite in the context of a negation shows what generalization so it should mean every form of oppression that's how they understood it but when the prophet looked at them ألم تسمع have you guys not heard قول الرجل صالح the speech of the righteous man who is it look man when he said to his people what did he say he said to his people إن شركة لظلم العظيم really شرك is what so the ظلم here is meant by شركة only so the Sahaba understood that word بظلم and it's general meaning the prophet came and he done he narrowed it down for them عليه الصلاة وسلام so what does it mean brothers you have to go back to making sure you understand what the words in الشريع these have حقائق شرعية إن شاء الله when we come to إن شاء الله when we study our other books وصول الفق we study that every it's divided into حقائق literal meanings and there's حقيق اللغوية حقيق الشرعية حقيق عرفية and based on those three different حقائق or those three different types of definitions the word meaning is taken out from it so what does إبادة mean the reason why these great worshippers believe the reason why they believe that إبادة is only محصور it is only exclusive to صلاة صيام and حج is why because they don't understand إبادة so it's upon the دعات to start from the foundation to speak to these people about what is إبادة what do you understand as إبادة والله بالله تالله three names of Allah is whereby people whose bids are this big who are out there teaching wouldn't even understand don't even know what إبادة is don't know إبادة أخي give me a definition of إبادة 10 years he's been doing دعوة he was the front line in دعوة out there on the streets أخي what is إبادة give me a تعريف جامع مانع a comprehensive definition of إبادة means وقليل من إبادة الشكور little from the sevens والله thank you lot a lot of them will tell you and that's why a lot of the times when you look at the general mass you think to yourself I feel sorry for you guys because there is currently no one calling you to it and we don't know anyone else who's coming up to do that so it's important that the self the علامة it used to take time out to address this matter so insha'Allah what does إبادة mean what's the definition of it بل رأسها وأساسها الإعتقاد rather بل رأسها the head of إبادة أساسها its foundation إعتقاد and its belief وقد حصل في قلوبهم ذلك and that matter has actually it's in their hearts it's present in their hearts بل يسمونه معتقدا and rather they refer to it as what belief ويصنعون لهم ما سمعته مما تفرع عن عن الإعتقاد من دعائهم ونداح إهم وتوصول بهم والاستغاثة والاستعانة والحلاف والنذري وغير ذلك so what they do ويصنعون they make لهم these people they worship they start making for them what ما سمعته that which you hear مما تفرع عن الإعتقاد منهم based on the belief that they have دعاء التوصل استغاثة استعانة الحلفي النذر all of those which are form of إبادات they go and do it for what شيخ الإسلامي البنوطيمي شيخ الإسلامي البنوطيمي gave a comprehensive definition of what إبادة means comprehensive in his book العودي page 6 شيخ الإسلامي البنوطيمي يقول العبادة هي اسم جامع it's a general term لكل ما يحبه الله ويرضا in everything which Allah loves من الأقوال in terms of speech والأعمال in terms of actions الباطلة والظاهرة that which is apparent and that which is that which within إبادة can be internally and it can be external and it's also actions it's also speech those are all about it الله loves it and he's pleased with it you have to look for that and then the sheikh gives examples مثال ذلك من العبادة you all of them أأوفم عبادات وكذلك حب الله ورسولي وخشية الله وإنابة إلي وإخلاص الدين له وصبر الحكمه وشكر لنعمه ورضا بقضائي والتوكول عليه والرجاء للرحمة والخوف من عذابي وامثال ذلك هي من عبادة all of those they fall under the terminology or the definition of the sheikh gave وذلك أن نرز أن العبادة هي الغاية المحبوبة له والمرضية له التي خلق الله الخلق لها كما قال وما قلقت الجينا والإنساء إلا ليعبدون وبيها أرسل جميع الرسول انتها كلامه الشيخ رحم الله وفي رأسه يتكلم كل of those things بأنهم آخر عبادة ويقلون وذلك أنه أن العبادة وعبادة هي المحبوبة هي المحبوبة الله خلقك من مجرد بقاية سرية كل أرسال كل هذا الحياة يكون يكون Cut Everything Made Your Heart Beat And Allowed You To Live In This World For One Reason It's so wrong That The Whole Purpose You Were Brought Into This World Allah Didn't Bring You So You Can Eat Allah Didn't Bring You Into This World So You Can Get Married الله Didn't Bring You Into This World So You Can Have Children الله All Of Those Are Side Points The Objective Of Why You Were Brought To This World Is A nichts هذا هو مقبول جداً لفتحكة عملية كيف ستفعل أنك ستتبدأ من ذلك مقبول جداً لفتحكة عملية من ماذا؟ ماذا الله يريد أن تأتي؟ ماءك ، ماءك ، ماءك هنالك مقبولة لتفعل أنت في عبادة هذا هو يجب أن يعمل هل أنت لديك عبادة؟ لكي يمكنك من عبادة لكي يمكنك إتباء الله في العزيز لكي يمكنك أن تتعلمهم ل to become those فالتالي يجب أن يجب على الله سبحانه وتعالى هل ترى؟ عندما تأتين ، تأتين لكي يمكنك أن تقوم براءة التالي لكي يمكنك فرصة لكي يمكنك أن تقوم بعمل دعاء لكي يمكنك أن تقوم بعمل دعاء لكي يمكنك أن تقوم بعمل دعاء هناك تأتين لذلك ولكن ماذا فعلنا؟ Our worship is a means to what? To get money, to live, to get life Our objective is what? Our objective is what? Our objective is our dunya Our person is looking for a fatwa if he can combine all the prayers Well that's Your money was the real reason why you wrote it This is what the problem happens when the person does not know how to prioritize or he doesn't know which one is أصل and which is a fara He wants to combine the prayer for work Which one was the أصل? The أصل was the عبادة For him to worship Allah And he is looking for this fatwa For what? Because to him the work, the job the earning is everything to him The عبادة on the other hand is a side branch Side point نعم So the sheikh said وذلك أن العبادة هي الغاية المحبوبة له It is the objective which Allah has for you سبحانه وتعالى المرضية له Which he is pleased with التي خلق الخلق لها Allah created the creation for that كما قال تعالى أزال الله said وما خلقت الجنة والإنسة إلا ليعبندون وبيها أرسل جميع الرسول If you think about it الله will say something after وما خلقت الجنة والإنسة الله will say the same page That same last part صورة دارية ودل الله will say after that وما خلقت الجنة والإنسة إلا ليعبدون ما أريد منهم من رسكن وما أريد أن يطعمون إن الله هو الرزاق وذل قوة المتين الله after told them عبادة الله told them I don't want any provision from you It's not like I want money from you Or I need you to help me لا Remember that I am the one who is going to provide for you كأن الله تبارقت علي يقول to you through عبادة You will live I will give you provision and how to gain something You see So this آية وما خلقت الجنة والإنسة So not only you Even the jinn They were brought into this world For what reason To worship Allah Look at how powerful وما خلقت And then إلا أدوات الحص Always on the line نف يون استثناء Negation And there's an exception in there Is to show you that powerful meaning It's like لا إله إلا الله Negation And there's an exception there Is to show you that powerful meaning Which is I didn't create you For no other reason whatsoever That's the meaning it has now Except what To worship me سبحانه وتعالى Because Allah negated everything else And He only affirmed what That استثناء It's called what It's an exception And that's the most powerful exception Which is the exception Which is connected to the sentence It is not مفارغ It's not a distance from it نعم It's the one in سورة العصر والعصر إن الإنسان لفي خص إلا الذين آمنوا الله تباركوا تحالا Negated from everybody else Except these people نعم وقد ذكروا العلماء أن من تزيّا بزي بزي الكفار صار كافيرا د الشيخ رحمه الله رحمه الله رحمه الله يتكس بأماته Which is very serious أن من تزيّا بزي الكفار صار كافيرا Anybody who dresses himself The clothing of the disbelievers He is kafir like them This speech of Imam Al-Sara'an رحمه الله يتكس It's unrestricted a bit It's what? It's a bit unrestricted So لا بد أن نقيده We have to restrict it a bit And we know what he means by it رحمه الله يتكس So فليس كل من تزيّا بزي الكفار صار كافيرا رحمه الله يتكس رحمه الله يتكس Not everybody who dresses himself Like the way that the disbelievers dress themselves Does he become a kafir because of it That is not the case But the one that is يتزيّا بزيهم وليذي هو في خصصهم If he tries to dress himself In a clothing Which they are known for It's uniquely theirs It's clothing which are uniquely theirs It's their clothes It's their clothes They are popes They are priests They wear it It's their clothes With knowledge and intentionally That one falls under this أما as for these Muslims today Who dress with these kind of caps And they wear these clothes And the gangster clothes And whatnot Then these one are لا شكة ولا ريب They fall under the وعيد The severe warning of the Hadith Of the Messenger من تشبه بقومن And the matter is very serious والله العظيم علامة have taken time out To write books on this إبن حجر رحم الله تعالى He talked about In his book The fasting on Saturday Even though that book is مفقود We don't have it today But he speaks about it And the Imam with the gold رحم الله تعالى The dress with the kuffar The clothing of the kuffar The Imam with the gold Has a little book on it He speaks about it إبن تيمي the best book Ever written on this issue اقتضاء صراط المستقيم لمخالفة أصحاب الجحيم إبن تيمي look what he does He says that the path The path to the straight The straight path To gain the straight path He named his book one To go on the straight path Is to go against The path of the disbelievers How is it that you read سورة الفاتحة Our Allah divert me From the path of the Christians And the Jews And then as soon as you leave The Salah You're already imitating them again Five times a day Everybody reads that Five times a day اي شركعة يهدين الصراط المستقيم صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغطوب عليهم والضالن إبن تيمي starts with that straight away That the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم also said to his companions عليه الصلاة والسلام He said من تشبه بقوم من Anyone who imitates a people is what فو منهم He's from those people he imitated ولي ذلك the Salaf They used to say The imitating of the kuffar from the outer leads to the imitation of them In the heart It is impossible That a people will imitate A people in which he differs From them within It's impossible And able to tell me A practical example In his great noble book اختضاء صراط المستقيم He said if two army members Two men from the military If they both came to a place Where they knew nobody And they didn't know each other But they saw each other's clothings Automatically they will sit And talk to each other They become friends Because they find a common ground Which they have with one another Clothing brings people together If you're in a place Where everyone else And you see a Muslim Brother with a لحي And everything Automatically you find yourself Sitting with him And finding time with him All of the other people Don't have that with you They're not Muslims He's the only Muslim You go and sit with him نعم The Prophet told us عليه الصلاة و السلام He said المرء و على ديني خليلي فلينظر حدك من يخليل The person is of the religion Of his friend Look who you take your friend Your religion Who you take it Who you take as a friend Also the Prophet عليه الصلاة و السلام He said المرء و مع من أحبه يوم القيامة The person is with who he loves The day of judgment You're with the people you love Do you want to walk like the Sahabas Do you want to talk like the Sahabas Do you want to act like the Sahabas So you'll be resurrected with them And the Prophet said When the Prophet said that statement That the person is resurrected With the people he loves And the Prophet said رضي الله تعالى عنه There never came a day More happier to me than that day Because he said I knew I loved Abu Bakr I knew I loved Omar I knew I loved the Messenger And I knew insha'Allah By my loving of them That I'll be resurrected with them So brothers You have to understand This issue of Imitating the كفار And wearing their clothings And dressing like them It is a very serious issue It's a very serious issue That the Muslims take very lightly And it's a matter That falls under الولاء والبرا لا شك It falls under the عق Issue of ولاة والبرا Imitating the كفار Walking like the كفار Acting like the كفار Dressing like the كفار Our Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم He gave us extensive And many different issues Here and there All of them were based on What lack of imitation of the كفار Just a couple of days ago We passed the fasting Of the Day of Ashourah The Messenger fasted The Day of Ashourah And he was told That the Jews also do the same Look what the Prophet said He said ليسهم أحقوا بموسى من now They Oh, as he said They are not more Befitted for Musa Or Musa is not More closer to them And they are not More related to Musa Than over us The Day of Ashourah No Like Musa is closer to us So what did the Prophet do? Because they have fast They fast And they do what they do The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Said We will oppose them in what? We will fast the day before To after it So even if we have to do Something they have to do We will try to change The form of how we do it We will change what? The way we do it And the way we do it Well, in that case The Jews in Medina What did they say? والله ما يريد إلا يخالفنا محمد does not want anything Except to go against us Everything he does He finds out if we do it And he goes against us on it That's all he wants نعم Even the Qurayt The Jews realize what? They realize that the Max of the shari'a The objectives of the Shari'a Iqwani is What البراعة من الشرك والهل To free yourself from From the shirk and its people So trying to dress like them Brings in your heart المحبة الود Love Admiration towards them Especially those who wear The football t-shirts And dressed with those clothes والله أمام به أمت به البلوة It is problems that Have gone all over the world See a person Who lives in Somalia Who's never He doesn't speak English He tells you a football player He's got his t-shirt on He's got the number and everything How do you know this guy? You see it's a problem So The Is unrestricted But with its context And everything in there It's very serious It's a dangerous issue And you can realize How he's talking about it here نعم So anything If a matter is It's doubtful Stay away from it Why would you want it? Alhamdulillah There's clothing you can wear Which are out there You can dress with You love the Prophet Do you really love him? Why are you not Why don't you dress like him? Isn't it better For you to dress like him Then I think it's better نعم ومن تكلموا بكلمة الكفر صار كافر And anyone who speaks the speech Of a kuffer He's a kaffer Of course When is it لكن إذا وجدت الشروط وانتفت الموالع If the conditions are present And the obstacles are missing نعم فكيف بمن بلغ هذه الرتبة تائع تقادا وقولا وفعلا Then how is it The matter is going to be إذا جميعا إذا جميعا جميعا إذا جميعا إضافة الكفر من خارجهم مع شيء جميع يجب أن يتفضل Then what do you think What do you think A person who believes in this With speech and action He believes in it He's pushing it And what do you think
