Tafseer-ul-Quran - Almassari - 014 - Al-Baqara - 08 - تفسير سورة البقرة discusses the difference between believing in Allah and being a believer. It explains that some people who embraced Islam did not immigrate, but stayed with their own people, and fought alongside the Muslims. When the Muslims were fighting against other tribes, some of these people became apostates, because they were not fully committed to the faith. However, even after they apostatized, they are still not believers, according to Allah's judgement. It is important to be aware of this distinction, in order to better understand all the issues surrounding the Quran.

This second group is made up of those who are pretending to be Muslims, and those who are not actually Muslims but are allowing themselves to be led by their feelings instead of by their intellect.

0:00:03 0:00:20 yeah we continue0:00:22 with the the next group of eyes which0:00:26 uh related all of them to the penis the0:00:28 best thing is to read all of them in one0:00:29 sec because0:00:31 one of the problems of many books of0:00:33 tips here0:00:34 they do ayah by ayah and this seems to0:00:37 be there's0:00:38 there's tendency to forget about the0:00:41 context0:00:43 the eyes are related everyone agrees0:00:44 that they are edited0:00:46 so it says number eight until twenty so0:00:48 it's our twelve eyes0:00:56 uh0:01:21 and see some of the translation0:01:25 interestingly they have we did not i did0:01:27 not address last time that0:01:28 they have in the top beside the uh0:01:31 transliteration how to pronounce it0:01:34 with a certain convention if you know0:01:35 the convention you will be able to0:01:36 translate as close to arabic as possible0:01:39 there's also a literal word by word but0:01:41 obviously literal word by word you have0:01:43 to sometimes insert like a sentence0:01:45 between parentheses or a part of a0:01:47 sentence0:01:47 so that it streams doesn't become like0:01:49 just just scattered words0:01:51 makes sense for example the ayah number0:01:53 eight here0:01:54 he says and of the people you could say0:01:57 and of mankind was0:01:58 all the most of the people okay so nasty0:02:00 translates usually0:02:02 and of the people so even though is the0:02:05 translator and0:02:06 and of the people now open parenthesis0:02:08 are some close balances0:02:10 who say we believe in allah and the day0:02:14 and the and the day the last day0:02:17 that they last obviously their last is0:02:20 not a0:02:20 very very tasteful in english all just0:02:22 seemed to be lexical shakespearean0:02:24 english0:02:25 the day last but then the last day0:02:27 actually the day the last0:02:30 but not they and parties0:02:34 are believers so it's0:02:37 actually the literal one is quite0:02:39 reasonable it's quite good0:02:41 in the sense uh because0:02:44 it highlights things which are general0:02:46 translations i know0:02:47 more focus on the meaning may miss uh0:02:50 for example let us see what0:02:52 picture says and of mankind is you use0:02:54 my kind of study of people that's good i0:02:56 i would prefer that over people actually0:02:58 because that's because0:03:02 all mankind0:03:06 nations and tribes is at the same0:03:08 mankind so nazis better say as mankind0:03:10 other than people so in the literal one0:03:12 i would have said mankind0:03:14 and are some who say we believe in allah0:03:18 and the last day0:03:19 okay that's good when they believe not0:03:22 here it's actually the literal one is0:03:24 better when they are not believe us0:03:26 actually at all in parties at all0:03:29 because he said muhammadin0:03:31 so this gives straight nuances which the0:03:34 literal one is here better0:03:36 gives better mores and many other0:03:37 translations are like that0:03:40 some producer ali says they are not0:03:43 believers he doesn't say they don't0:03:44 believe not like like uh0:03:46 uh so pictol went more into uh0:03:50 into making the verb but actually it is0:03:53 not aware because they are not0:03:54 believable0:03:55 and this is us through the subtle issues0:03:57 of iman and kuffar we discussed that we0:03:59 discussed the iman and cover0:04:00 and we saw that the issue iman is quite0:04:02 complex0:04:04 and cover also we needed almost for iman0:04:07 we needed several helicopters just just0:04:09 to explore some of the aspects and cover0:04:11 with the opposite of the iman0:04:12 took apart0:04:15 so these are complex issues0:04:20 uh which are coming even more to force0:04:23 here0:04:24 because we are dealing now with the0:04:26 category who says we usually called mon0:04:28 afiqa0:04:29 translated as hypocrite okay you could0:04:33 say0:04:33 this hypocrite all to that0:04:37 although it doesn't use the word0:04:40 anywhere in his eyes who don't need to0:04:41 bother about whatever but0:04:43 everyone agrees and when they go to any0:04:45 of the quran taps here0:04:47 they could speak about this these three0:04:48 is about these twelve eyes about gravity0:04:51 so the first four eyes are for a0:04:55 believer of two types of believers0:04:58 two eyes for the catherine uh because0:05:01 the situation is clear and obvious0:05:02 what's going on0:05:03 and then for the monarchy because the0:05:04 complexity of the issues i'm needing to0:05:06 give examples0:05:07 it goes over 12 uh over 120:05:11 highers not only because they are more0:05:14 dangerous maybe than the caffeine0:05:16 surely they are but because the nature0:05:19 of in fact0:05:20 quite complex and without taking all the0:05:22 evidence in the rest of the quran0:05:24 is almost impossible to recognize what's0:05:26 going on what is the0:05:27 fact one0:05:30 one type of is clear to everyone which0:05:33 is everyone really that's someone who is0:05:37 publicly a muslim pretend to be a muslim0:05:39 but internally he is0:05:40 a muslim he doesn't believe and he knows0:05:43 that he is not believing0:05:45 but he is doing that for whatever0:05:46 benefit for example a spy of the kuffar0:05:49 coming in the muslim society pretending0:05:51 to be a muslim there is islam go maybe0:05:53 teresa spark have a document that he0:05:54 embraced islam0:05:56 trouble hajj ramra grows a massive beard0:05:59 joins sophie's circles and her reality0:06:01 none of that is what's his conviction0:06:03 and he knows that he's pretending he's0:06:05 doing his0:06:07 he's doing a drama is that he's a drama0:06:10 guy0:06:11 uh that's the time of the fact without0:06:14 any doubt that's without0:06:15 that's that's what comes in people's0:06:17 mind most frequently0:06:20 but there's another type which people0:06:22 rarely under0:06:23 recognize and which is maybe the more0:06:26 dangerous one is that0:06:28 someone may be declared a muslim and he0:06:31 thinks of himself that he's a muslim0:06:33 but his understanding of iman and islam0:06:37 is so deficient0:06:39 and his iman or his his commitment to0:06:41 islam is0:06:42 usually it comes not from technique not0:06:44 from but holding islam withdrawn0:06:48 but he is not willing to submit0:06:51 and to as we said iman is not just0:06:55 the the statement of the heart that's0:06:58 what the mental0:06:59 the mental image of what is true or0:07:01 false0:07:02 it is morals that actual acts of the0:07:04 heart which is0:07:05 must be uh at least having a minimum0:07:08 level with what is the minimum level0:07:09 exactly only allah knows what the0:07:11 minimum level0:07:12 of commitment to islam and submission to0:07:16 to allah and the willingness to accept0:07:18 allah subhanahu and0:07:20 allegiance to allah that that allah is0:07:22 the king and the sovereign and the0:07:23 commander0:07:25 this will contradict many people who for0:07:28 example believe0:07:30 that for example the queen is a0:07:32 sovereign which has some kind of0:07:34 sovereignty0:07:35 but still he believes but he thought0:07:38 that this does not contradict0:07:39 he did not understand the meaning of yet0:07:42 he did not think that this kind of0:07:43 sovereignty contradict the meaning of0:07:44 allah being this also0:07:46 the issue of hakim that the rulership0:07:48 that the ultimate rulership0:07:49 which we will discuss obviously down the0:07:51 road is disgusting0:07:54 in the last edition which has been0:07:56 translated0:07:57 shows that is all about hakimiya not0:08:01 about other issues creation the vessel0:08:02 these are issues which are usually not0:08:04 of dutch contentions0:08:06 but suggestion who is the sovereign who0:08:08 is what commands when we define good and0:08:10 evil0:08:12 they are not willing to submit that to0:08:14 the level0:08:17 because they would like to follow0:08:18 certain desires for example they would0:08:21 would like to be more devoted to their0:08:23 nationalism or their tribalism and so on0:08:25 so their allegiance and then and0:08:27 connection to to the0:08:28 to islam and the muslim ummah is just0:08:31 some kind of0:08:33 amorphous feeling not a structured0:08:35 allegiance0:08:36 that if it comes to a contradiction0:08:38 between allegiance to0:08:40 to allah this messenger to the islam and0:08:42 to your nationality or your tribe or0:08:44 your family0:08:45 once you have to be born in front0:08:49 and the other one has to go back or0:08:50 completely disappear0:08:52 and this guy may thinks that he's still0:08:54 a muslim0:08:57 so he's not that he is he is pretending0:08:59 to be a muslim he believes that he is a0:09:00 muslim0:09:01 at least not maybe not mormon he will0:09:03 not there saying a moment because most0:09:05 people0:09:05 knows most people who know this i am a0:09:08 true believer everyone knows0:09:09 that the true believers would be only0:09:11 those who like prophet saw0:09:13 and said and holy men exceptionally the0:09:16 really truly and complete committed0:09:18 believer but he thinks he's still a0:09:20 believer0:09:20 he has the basic belief although him he0:09:23 has maybe a fundamental deficiency0:09:25 and testification this deficiency may0:09:27 not come sometimes he survives and live0:09:29 life long without0:09:31 if he faces a test then0:09:35 this will flip over and then clearly0:09:39 it will be it will be he will fail the0:09:41 test and it will show that he0:09:43 his allegiance is not to allow his0:09:45 messenger which is done0:09:46 as a as we will see in surveillance down0:09:49 the road but0:09:50 you cannot expand on it now because it0:09:52 will take several halaqats0:09:53 is that in that case this is an act of0:09:55 cover the clear statement of the quran0:09:57 without any doubt0:09:58 there's no way that you can't be that0:10:01 you can be a0:10:02 a believer even if you witness that0:10:05 problem0:10:06 if you believe it in my matter of0:10:08 logical conclusion that he's a messenger0:10:10 while you are willing to fight and the0:10:12 banner of the fall against muslims0:10:14 whatever justification nationalism0:10:16 tribalism material benefit etc0:10:20 that's that's not acceptable that's will0:10:22 take you out to the food islam which0:10:24 attitude will0:10:25 will make you a kafir and the harbi also0:10:27 so the muslim can kill you at liberty0:10:29 and they know they are doing the right0:10:30 thing according to0:10:32 me so that's that's uh0:10:35 one one odd type which many people do0:10:37 not know0:10:38 another another which is related to that0:10:41 that the internal commitment to belief0:10:43 is not enough to get you over this0:10:45 threshold of coffer now this section0:10:47 is very difficult to divine because the0:10:50 the levels of the heart and the0:10:51 situation of the mind and the0:10:53 psyche are complex not easy but allah0:10:56 knows that0:10:57 we don't need to be indulgent and in0:10:59 private but we try to0:11:00 give him hints and and directions so0:11:03 that uh0:11:04 the people can can uh session themselves0:11:07 and try to improve their iman0:11:08 and get themselves over that barrier for0:11:11 example there's a hadith0:11:18 there are four who even have one of them0:11:23 he has one branch of nifak and he have0:11:25 all four of them0:11:26 is a pure moon0:11:32 now even that had it has been which is a0:11:34 good hadith will establish i think that0:11:36 from the native language but anyway0:11:38 independent uh0:11:39 it helps understand the quran it can0:11:41 explain further0:11:43 because the person views the language0:11:45 was giving examples and so on0:11:48 even that has been also somehow because0:11:51 of the misunderstanding of iman0:11:52 by many scholars who are of the0:11:54 so-called0:11:57 muslims who who define iran only as0:12:00 justice as holding something to be true0:12:03 without the other actions of the heart0:12:05 associated with it0:12:07 which led them to to fall in various0:12:10 problems and contradictions and issues0:12:11 and some of them even0:12:13 did not bother about aligning with the0:12:14 kuffar and yeah it happened something0:12:17 like that happened0:12:18 and by some of them while they believe0:12:20 that they are doing right the right0:12:21 thing because their definition of iman0:12:24 is faulty that's just a stick i0:12:27 mean i showed that muhammad says that's0:12:30 it that's not true that's not enough0:12:32 you have to have more of the action to0:12:34 be committed to that0:12:36 so they at the tibet had they said this0:12:37 is the verse0:12:41 the action not the creed0:12:44 so even if the four0:12:46 are accessible of someone he's just but0:12:49 he's still not out of the form of islam0:12:51 whenever instance of creed like the0:12:52 sword about that0:12:54 and this is i think this is a big0:12:56 feeling0:12:58 because the four things you have0:13:00 mentioned they have nothing to do with0:13:01 creed they have to do with action action0:13:03 of the heart or action external action0:13:04 but they relate to the action while0:13:07 four things he he mentions that in the0:13:09 hadith when he0:13:11 gives a reward he lies now everyone lies0:13:15 we realize of the motivation we are0:13:16 afraid of something but0:13:18 this one is a systematic liar he is0:13:20 habitual liar0:13:21 it doesn't lie in central occasion lie0:13:24 to escape0:13:25 a penalty everyone does that at various0:13:27 levels0:13:28 of lies there are small lies which are0:13:32 to be ignored like for example there are0:13:34 some so a woman calling her son0:13:36 come here i will give you something and0:13:37 she holding something in her hand0:13:39 and then uh are you going to give him0:13:42 something or just to try to0:13:44 to get him so they can hold him she said0:13:46 no i have a camera i have a0:13:48 one one date see if you didn't have a0:13:51 tumblr in your hand0:13:52 this would have been written as kudai by0:13:54 a small lie against you0:13:56 so even if you called your child i give0:13:58 you i have some chocolate for you to0:13:59 come and you don't have chocolate this0:14:00 is more0:14:01 we all do that that's not what happened0:14:03 but if someone is a habitual liar0:14:05 you enjoy lying and false reporting0:14:08 especially if he's in a power position0:14:10 like a king or a ruler that has one of0:14:12 the worst people there0:14:14 is malik0:14:20 the one who owns the house for example0:14:22 is married and have servants0:14:24 according to the definition given to0:14:26 money israel etc0:14:28 there's no reason for you to lie except0:14:30 these small lies and these small0:14:31 mistakes which no no human could be0:14:33 clean from them0:14:34 but but if you systematically lying0:14:38 then there's a major deficiency about0:14:41 your understanding0:14:42 that allah is watching you understanding0:14:44 the importance of truth or truthfulness0:14:54 if he gives a covenant he will break the0:14:56 covenant i'll stab you in the back0:14:58 that's a very very grave it shows0:15:02 the deep evil although he may still0:15:04 believe that0:15:09 if he is given a trust for example give0:15:10 him a trust i give you this money for0:15:12 your trust0:15:13 keep it in trust and then you come to0:15:15 give me give me that give me the bag say0:15:16 you didn't give me a bag i have nothing0:15:18 here over the back found one yet0:15:19 and decided to swallow there were no0:15:21 witnesses so0:15:25 he takes over the trust that's an0:15:28 example and if somebody is trusted0:15:30 with a position of power or position of0:15:32 administration to do such a thing i said0:15:34 according to the revolutionary laws0:15:36 and he breaks them because of bribes0:15:38 whatever0:15:39 usually nobody will break without0:15:41 obviously some motivation greed pride0:15:43 and so on0:15:44 so with that with the hassam of agile if0:15:46 he has dispute0:15:47 then he goes overboard if you have a0:15:50 some dispute0:15:52 you may uh for example uh0:15:57 i guess we give an example for the one0:15:59 who0:16:01 went to the extreme uh one abdullah who0:16:04 was uh0:16:05 was a believer and then um0:16:08 most likely publicly he was a believer0:16:10 and internally he was a moon africa will0:16:11 have this disease in the heart0:16:13 which we'll discuss later and he was in0:16:15 a trouble and he has a0:16:16 servant maybe a slave no one slave and0:16:19 he0:16:19 told them i am tired now i will have a0:16:21 nap cook me with some food0:16:24 somehow the slave got busy with0:16:25 something else he did not cook went up0:16:27 and woke up say who is the food sale0:16:31 my master i forgot or i missed it i did0:16:33 not start it yet0:16:35 he became so outraged he's now disputing0:16:38 why did you do that he he could him give0:16:40 him maybe a slab or a kick in the water0:16:42 or something0:16:42 instead of he killed him it's going0:16:44 overboard0:16:46 in the dispute there's no warrant for0:16:49 you that0:16:49 your servant did not cook that you kill0:16:51 him because of that and then he0:16:53 recognized0:16:53 that she went overboard and he could not0:16:55 face the consequences0:16:57 facing the warsaw so he ran to mecca0:17:00 and i told them i i joined them and0:17:03 became an idolatrous publicly artist or0:17:05 maybe in the bottom of heart is not0:17:06 regulated anymore in the sense you know0:17:08 these idols are nothing here0:17:09 at the moment he has embraced islamic0:17:11 recognition all nonsense he0:17:13 is graduated from that level of magic0:17:15 world view0:17:16 i do not reveal you into more rational0:17:18 and monetaristic0:17:19 world view but it doesn't help0:17:23 so this is the same of the house oh this0:17:25 is extremely a very0:17:26 great extreme but there are people for0:17:28 example when you have dispute with them0:17:31 about something like uh0:17:34 uh i had once when someone dispute about0:17:37 uh he0:17:38 called me phone found me from from from0:17:41 manchester in the in the 90s 96 say0:17:44 is it true that there is a there's some0:17:47 hadith against0:17:49 condemnation yeah let me verify that0:17:51 tomorrow0:17:53 say yes i think they will establish that0:17:55 let me check it let me go to the show0:17:56 that's what i hear usually0:17:58 so i checked i should0:18:09 has passed by the time but in the arabic0:18:11 side to demolish this idol of0:18:13 because as long as the argument if they0:18:14 say you can appoint your son for0:18:16 something0:18:18 sahabi he couldn't have been that bad0:18:20 etc0:18:21 so you have to break that idol so i made0:18:23 a i made some research0:18:24 very primitive research at the time and0:18:27 uh i sent it to him0:18:29 and then he phoned me say are you sure0:18:31 this is0:18:32 they said this this is good that'd be0:18:34 good it's not at the time it was not0:18:36 very0:18:36 skilled in islam i relied on muslim but0:18:39 also that it's not even if you recognize0:18:40 it now it is it's good0:18:43 and so cinema music0:18:46 there's no doubt about that so what he0:18:48 said he is disputing that want to0:18:50 dispute it0:18:51 he says i will go and verify the hadith0:18:53 or ask sola to refute and answer to you0:18:55 and so on0:18:56 he said may allah cares you and my0:18:58 muslim with you0:19:01 going overboard and there's no reason to0:19:03 cares me and because you are muslim0:19:04 because he narrated0:19:06 he believes this is authentic just0:19:07 saying you have mistaken a muslim0:19:09 that hadith is is broken and shane is0:19:12 not correct0:19:13 uh we have to correct this and this so0:19:14 far so if someone have these four0:19:17 in the head0:19:21 we make a covenant if he reports he lies0:19:24 as a matter of systematic uh behavior0:19:27 not uh0:19:28 one on off and so on and not small lies0:19:31 like calling a child i'll give you a0:19:32 shocking something like these are small0:19:34 like they are lies they are0:19:35 like they are small sins but they are0:19:36 not but that's not what meant in the0:19:38 hadith0:19:39 that if he reports then he cannot0:19:43 get away from lying and adding some0:19:44 spices it becomes secret nature to him0:19:48 rather if he gives a covenant he will0:20:05 it's different that i had is a covenant0:20:07 between two and then he break the0:20:08 covenant and stab you in the word0:20:10 trust you trust him with him whether0:20:11 we're doing a certain action0:20:13 or keeping a certain money in his safe0:20:15 and then he denies that he has it and0:20:17 then0:20:19 then then so anyone who has these four0:20:23 according to organizations0:20:27 the statement prophet is a pure moon0:20:29 africa now because of the0:20:32 mostly0:20:50 i think this is this is a considerable0:20:52 shortcoming0:20:54 i'm not saying it is definitely for0:20:57 all cases and so on but even if these0:20:59 characteristics0:21:00 are in someone then he is a pure0:21:02 hypocrite differently in action0:21:04 and most likely also include there is in0:21:06 the sense of the correct sense of iman0:21:08 and creed0:21:08 not immediately believing that muhammad0:21:10 is the message of allah no no and allah0:21:12 exists no0:21:12 but in matter of fact what what0:21:14 necessary entails0:21:16 being a believer and accepting0:21:19 and pronouncing shahada and surrendering0:21:21 to the meaning of the minimum0:21:23 this one does not seem to be the minimal0:21:26 surrender of0:21:27 if you look at the situation of muslims0:21:30 even with despite of the0:21:31 low level of iman when the muslims0:21:33 generally in the rest of the world and0:21:35 there0:21:35 you will not find anyone having these0:21:37 four and coming really0:21:40 you will you will not feel that he0:21:41 belongs to the muslim in any sense0:21:44 most likely he will be he will be0:21:47 will be in any way in any test or any0:21:49 confrontation he will be joining the0:21:51 kuffar0:21:51 rather than being with the muslim and0:21:53 then shows that clearly if i can clear0:21:56 and clear from them so that that hadith0:21:59 should be giving more respect than to0:22:00 say this is all0:22:02 not in fact no it is it is i think it's0:22:06 not say make it singular he0:22:10 uh he i think these four if they are in0:22:12 that in that form especially in0:22:14 in in in a strong form then they0:22:17 indicate that0:22:18 that's what the man has in his heart is0:22:20 just mere creed and believing that these0:22:22 are true0:22:23 things but he's not willing to to0:22:25 surrender to them or submit anything0:22:26 like for example0:22:28 in the case of a people of foreign0:22:40 what they perceived as true they were0:22:42 convinced internally the truth0:22:44 they decided if we accept that that the0:22:46 man is trying the truth0:22:48 and accept his demand yeah he's0:22:50 demanding us to let vanessa0:22:51 go with them then we have lost power0:22:56 we have lost the kingdom we are the0:22:57 greatest kingdom on earth the biggest0:22:59 power on earth at that time0:23:00 other short questions we're not going to0:23:02 do that0:23:04 let's just have a question this is0:23:08 not acceptable that's not acceptable0:23:12 so this is so uh for example in in the0:23:16 19th century there was a0:23:17 a an anarchist i think is it i don't0:23:20 think about his name0:23:20 was he said0:23:24 iblis is the greatest liberator of0:23:27 humanity0:23:28 we should even worship him because he is0:23:30 the one who was able and have the0:23:31 courage to confront god0:23:34 no the one man may have been an atheist0:23:35 and jesus saying in him with the0:23:36 bodyguard but he may believe that god0:23:38 exists0:23:38 and the belief is really opposing god0:23:40 and regardless of good act0:23:42 what's what's the meaning what's the0:23:44 benefit of saying that there's only one0:23:45 god0:23:46 it doesn't benefit him in anything if he0:23:49 believes that0:23:50 that everything but i thought and god is0:23:52 now oppressor0:23:54 so you see you could believe that said0:23:56 by allah but allah0:23:58 be an oppressor but allah made our life0:23:59 miserable0:24:01 injunctions or made our life difficult0:24:04 by by asking us to0:24:05 forsake tribalism and nationalism and0:24:07 racism and so on0:24:08 and and they devote ourselves to all one0:24:11 humanity as0:24:12 one as one in sense of racism and so on0:24:15 and to one allegiance that registered0:24:17 islamic ummah under under islamic0:24:19 leadership if it exists0:24:21 and then so that we will never be0:24:23 fighting under the banner of the kuffar0:24:24 for whatever reason0:24:27 willingly maybe sexual assault is forced0:24:28 to take it to the battlefield by force0:24:30 then0:24:31 he will he will because because he have0:24:34 the allegiance to allah his messenger he0:24:35 will0:24:36 not show toward the allah he will show0:24:37 he will try to shoot in in the wrong0:24:39 direction so0:24:40 he misses the muslims yeah for example0:24:41 if someone is fast that's the same with0:24:43 someone's force0:24:44 although most modern armies now are0:24:45 based on on volunteers and then people0:24:48 who join the army0:24:49 uh for salary and for for benefits like0:24:51 having an education have something like0:24:53 that0:24:55 so we have to be cautious about this0:24:57 this issue of nifakan so and it is0:24:59 more complex than the issue of iman0:25:01 because it relates0:25:02 to mostly to the actions of the heart0:25:06 what you call the action of the heart0:25:08 this is not enough respect what's0:25:10 benefit you say0:25:12 there's only one deity meaning the0:25:15 ultimate sovereign0:25:16 there was even the deserves submission0:25:19 there was respect0:25:20 there was love and and affection in in0:25:23 in the spiritual sense0:25:25 if that's not there so what what's the0:25:27 first of being one god0:25:28 what is this doesn't matter it does it0:25:31 does0:25:31 it doesn't bring us anywhere forward0:25:34 like this anarchist of the 19th century0:25:36 i would get his name i just saw a few0:25:38 days i forgot his name0:25:40 who believe they believe they believe he0:25:42 believes there is a0:25:44 is a created being it's not the idea0:25:46 that he is deserve more respect than god0:25:48 because he is the only liberated from0:25:49 good0:25:49 from god's tyranny for example so0:25:53 so what's the benefit of saying there's0:25:54 one god and this god is a tyrant0:25:56 on this only understand misunderstanding0:25:58 of god so there is a misunderstanding of0:26:00 god in that0:26:00 is related to the what you believe true0:26:02 about god maybe in that respect0:26:04 but sometimes this is not even there but0:26:07 um0:26:08 he's demanding too much allah is not0:26:10 wanting too much0:26:11 but that he should be the ultimate0:26:14 surveillance and the ultimate source of0:26:15 allegiance0:26:16 his allegiance and his rent must be0:26:18 higher than anybody else that's0:26:19 meaningful deity0:26:20 if it is not that then the meaning of0:26:23 shahada is really undermined0:26:25 intellectually but in in feelings and0:26:28 action also0:26:29 so it relates to some critical divisions0:26:31 you possibly include0:26:32 and misunderstanding not recognizing0:26:34 what allah is about and his messenger0:26:37 but it expressed itself in action0:26:40 so that that's that's that's the problem0:26:42 which we have to keep in mind0:26:44 and uh if you read in the book of tafsir0:26:47 they tend0:26:48 usually to translate i'll go or or make0:26:50 themselves0:26:51 by ayah and take things out of the0:26:52 context but it's very important to give0:26:54 the context0:26:55 so we have this kind of people who0:26:59 say we believe in life they last and0:27:01 last day yeah0:27:03 but they are not believers0:27:06 in others they are not with allah they0:27:08 are not believers0:27:09 meaning either they are lying they know0:27:12 from themselves they are not believers0:27:13 just lying like i say the first category0:27:15 the clear category which nobody dispute0:27:17 or they believe they are believers but0:27:19 allah say no they are not believers they0:27:20 are0:27:21 they are in in fact lying although they0:27:24 they are not their liberty lying but in0:27:26 in matter of fact0:27:27 they are lying that's not the truth the0:27:29 truth is they are not believable0:27:30 they cannot be classified as we were in0:27:32 the eye of allah lies the definition of0:27:34 believer0:27:34 made by allah so the two categories are0:27:38 so called they are not believer0:27:41 either consciously they know they are0:27:43 not believer but they are doing it for0:27:45 because they are a spy of them for0:27:48 foreign to spy0:27:50 and then you have to pretend to be0:27:51 muslim and do whatever necessary to0:27:53 appeal like muslim but they know0:27:54 internally0:27:55 that they aren't believer they're saying0:27:57 believer they are lying deliberately0:27:58 consciously and representing themselves0:28:01 they're making a drama0:28:03 and the other category which0:28:06 they don't think they they they think0:28:08 they are believer maybe even they are0:28:10 allowing them0:28:11 in a deficient way0:28:14 they think it's correct that's enough0:28:16 for them in reality they are not0:28:17 believers0:28:19 and here comes the danger of these0:28:20 theories and this definition of0:28:22 iman and so on uh which0:28:25 some unfortunately uh some schools of0:28:28 thought and some scholar0:28:29 will get to the people like for example0:28:31 you find very common in the muslim world0:28:36 both in arabs and non-arabs like india0:28:38 and pakistan is that0:28:39 the miscellaneous0:28:47 just make sure that in the moment of0:28:49 death you say even if you have been0:28:52 fighting at the bottom of kaffar even0:28:53 you are applying coffer everywhere and0:28:55 so on0:28:56 and this is a misinterpretation first of0:28:58 all hadith the way they're quoted is0:29:00 deficient there's no time it's waking up0:29:02 out of conviction of the heart so the0:29:04 conviction of that is that0:29:07 so the pronunciation is just symbolic0:29:09 act that's that's all0:29:11 usually people around some dying they0:29:13 will say like0:29:14 he would say it out of conviction and he0:29:16 may say just0:29:17 just to make them happy if he doesn't0:29:19 believe anything but some people will do0:29:20 it we don't know0:29:21 about these people but we know from0:29:23 factual life that0:29:24 some people say i am believer to appease0:29:26 the people around him0:29:27 or make them feel happy and so on a0:29:29 reality0:29:30 maybe you know even a family one of0:29:32 those children is an atheist0:29:33 but in front of his parents he doesn't0:29:35 want to offend them he doesn't want to0:29:36 break the nation completely he pretend0:29:38 to be a muslim0:29:40 where he's not for example so all of0:29:42 these things can happen0:29:45 so he is not a believer so either of the0:29:47 two types so keep that in mind don't be0:29:49 deceived by a0:29:50 scholar that they they they are0:29:53 pretending and they're deliberately0:29:54 doing it it is not always the limit0:29:56 if we keep that in mind then we will0:29:58 understand the rest of the0:29:59 this part of the surah and the the part0:30:03 of the eyes in the surah but also the0:30:04 other cases which are in0:30:06 in0:30:11 even there was an extreme case allah0:30:13 rebuked the believer0:30:15 because some some of the who embraced0:30:17 islam they did not immigrate0:30:19 they stayed with their own people0:30:22 mushrikeen0:30:23 but they did not stay there to to carry0:30:26 that or just to live normally they were0:30:29 they were together with them with the0:30:30 kid under their banner fighting that's0:30:32 that's right crucial point there0:30:34 and then during a ceasefire or a peace0:30:38 treaty or0:30:39 because they have a protection of0:30:40 another tribe which is friendly to the0:30:41 muslims0:30:42 and they gave the protection they could0:30:44 pass through medina and go to the north0:30:46 and do their business isham and come0:30:48 back that's not horis we're talking0:30:49 about0:30:50 some people else some other tribes and0:30:53 then0:30:53 muslims were disputing some people say0:30:56 let us take our horses and go and attack0:30:58 them and kill them0:30:59 because they are fighting with the0:31:00 kuffar they are not believers0:31:02 they have questions0:31:08 did not comment0:31:11 because situation is very difficult to0:31:13 judge without something from0:31:15 clean and0:31:29 because they did not immigrate not0:31:32 because they0:31:33 they they can establish their dinner but0:31:34 they were they were even fighting at the0:31:36 well of the kuffar0:31:37 and so on and then upon details that0:31:39 those who are passing because they have0:31:40 a covenant or security let them pass0:31:42 because of the covenants not because0:31:44 they are not believers and there is0:31:46 allah says0:31:49 they wish that we will commit comfort0:31:51 like the community0:31:52 and then the as after that talks about0:31:54 riddha so this is clear0:31:56 no doubt about that these people are0:31:58 most likely thinking about themselves0:32:00 they are muslims0:32:04 so when we say we believe in allah and0:32:06 they have judgment0:32:08 they are they're telling that that0:32:09 they're0:32:11 presenting themselves with their own0:32:12 self-image which is wrong but they are0:32:14 not believer0:32:15 as allah has decided they are not0:32:16 believers they want to say but they are0:32:18 not be moving they are not from the0:32:19 believers0:32:21 commenting with that despite of that0:32:22 statement0:32:24 they aren't believers0:32:28 it's very important to to be alert about0:32:30 this point0:32:31 that we have these that's very0:32:34 that's i think very crucial which will0:32:36 make easy the understanding of all0:32:37 issues coming about the 190:32:39 and also clarify let me mention here0:32:42 quickly we will come at later in the0:32:43 quran0:32:54 says0:33:12 but they have overlooked the historic0:33:14 fact in mecca for example0:33:15 let us take an example when when uh0:33:19 that some people embrace islam mecca but0:33:22 they didn't embrace it in such0:33:24 a full conviction probable understanding0:33:26 which prevent them for example when they0:33:28 hear the story about uh0:33:29 about israel you you remember that0:33:32 the very question muhammad claimed that0:33:35 he traveled overnight to0:33:37 vital markets and came back the same0:33:39 night now his his0:33:41 his fabrications allah have been exposed0:33:43 and they went to some muslims0:33:45 do you know that the prophet said this0:33:46 is a list and some of them0:33:48 committed apostasy because of that0:33:53 so how come that they committed0:33:55 apostates because of that0:33:56 because before that they were not0:33:58 totally really but they want africa0:34:00 although they believe that they are0:34:01 believers how come in makkah0:34:04 they embraced islam with such a weak0:34:05 faith no0:34:07 in a certain phase in makkalak after0:34:09 what we call the phase of public now and0:34:10 public party0:34:11 uh it became fashionable for certain0:34:14 young people0:34:15 who are rebelling or may want to annoy0:34:17 his mother or know some of his tribe and0:34:19 so on and0:34:20 so that he's his uh he's enjoying this0:34:22 new movement he's joining the new0:34:24 movement0:34:24 without really any deep understanding of0:34:26 proper conviction0:34:28 because if he had the meaning of0:34:29 muhammad he cannot remember0:34:31 allah cannot lie allah will not allow0:34:34 messenger to rise of his if he is truly0:34:35 the messenger of allah0:34:36 than what he said they should have said0:34:41 they say did he say that they said yes0:34:44 he said0:34:45 so if he said if he said it he did not0:34:47 trust them reportedly0:34:49 they showed the difference between0:34:50 someone who iran is proper and rational0:34:53 and well structured if he has said that0:34:57 i will go and share with him if he has0:34:58 said that that he's still in the truth0:34:59 he's telling me that he is human0:35:01 ignoration0:35:01 within seconds from from the heaven but0:35:04 magnus is next door0:35:05 he's not far away so what's the fuss he0:35:08 went there and came back0:35:10 he must be telling the truth but let me0:35:12 go and check0:35:14 that's the way it should be so these are0:35:17 joining maybe0:35:18 the when the that will became public and0:35:20 the party became public there would be0:35:22 always0:35:23 some people who regarded it as cool and0:35:25 then and0:35:26 uh fashionable to join this movement0:35:28 there will be almost0:35:30 and this is that's what so they may have0:35:32 been very very very well knived in mecca0:35:36 they have been very well known people0:35:38 who joined just0:35:39 for fun and to be cool and to be0:35:42 rebellious against the parents0:35:44 or just annoy the parents0:35:47 and then and and they stuck with it0:35:52 some something like or maybe because0:35:54 it's a military relation he's in love0:35:55 with a girl and0:35:56 and she insisted that you become a0:35:58 muslim although it was not dictated in0:36:00 mecca0:36:00 but some some more believing woman0:36:03 with the believing woman in mecca was0:36:05 were generally more strange and feminine0:36:07 believe than0:36:08 than many men she said they're going to0:36:10 accept0:36:19 he hated islam and the prophet that he0:36:21 decided to leave madinah and go to sham0:36:24 to leave the country all together0:36:26 otherwise issues0:36:28 abandoned and divorced0:36:32 rich man i said offering a considerable0:36:35 doubt0:36:43 and prove himself through all his life0:36:45 that he's a true believer0:36:46 so this could happen this could happen0:36:49 human nature and human cases0:36:51 and variations are so complex and0:36:53 unbelievable0:36:55 all of you can do the quran and give0:36:57 just main headlines and give certain0:36:59 sharp0:36:59 borders which you've crossed them then0:37:01 you are in real danger of comfort0:37:04 and for taking all the ayats concerning0:37:07 allegiance for the quran fighting and0:37:08 their banner against muslims0:37:10 on helping or helping them against0:37:12 muslim or spying0:37:13 against muslim and informing them taking0:37:16 all of that on board0:37:18 it seems to be the main effect in madina0:37:20 the main effect0:37:35 as will will uh will it extend so the0:37:38 next ayah says0:37:42 they trying to con meaning in fact to0:37:45 deceive allah reality they are deceiving0:37:51 only themselves but they don't perceive0:37:52 it0:37:53 they don't feel it like it should0:37:56 it's just a situation so what0:37:59 what is the not perceiving the scholars0:38:01 have been split into0:38:03 first of all the you'll find the book of0:38:04 tafsir i will refer you to these0:38:06 about you know how can they try because0:38:09 that0:38:09 form used usually is0:38:14 they and this is usually mutual0:38:15 interaction they receive allah and allah0:38:17 deceive them0:38:18 they see the believer in the name of the0:38:19 civilian but that's not necessary0:38:22 sometimes it's it's used in0:38:24 action from one one side0:38:27 in such a way that that the other side0:38:30 may be0:38:31 responding with that but not necessary0:38:32 like for example0:38:34 when you say0:38:37 may allah declare them they didn't0:38:40 declare war to allah allah0:38:42 this year that allah finished them0:38:44 without necessary0:38:46 meaning that that there's a interaction0:38:48 in that sense0:38:51 but but this is a fine linguistic point0:38:53 i think they don't bring us0:38:54 in the essential issue which is uh the0:38:57 nature of monavie0:38:59 much forward so with the with this0:39:02 this strength in the case that we are0:39:04 talking about some people who say we are0:39:06 believing that0:39:06 they are saying they are they are doing0:39:08 it deliberately lyingly knowing that0:39:10 they are not0:39:10 a believer so we think about the best0:39:12 category0:39:19 they actually deceiving himself and0:39:22 getting themselves0:39:23 in trouble and getting himself in in in0:39:26 in0:39:33 ultimately if they don't repent before0:39:35 that person leave their repentance at0:39:36 the moment0:39:38 what they don't play they don't perceive0:39:40 they don't they don't0:39:42 uh they don't notice it but by by0:39:46 immediate perception0:39:47 because this is in in their what they0:39:49 are not noticing0:39:51 so there are two to two explanation one0:39:53 is that what they are not0:39:54 they are not noticing they are not0:39:56 believer but this does not sound very0:39:59 persuasive actually what they are not0:40:00 noticing that they are0:40:02 deceiving themselves they think they are0:40:04 doing a great job0:40:06 they are they have full muhammad is his0:40:08 companions0:40:10 and maybe he his god because many of0:40:12 them0:40:13 they they don't bother about allah or0:40:15 they say because the quran says0:40:17 category of them all remain until the0:40:19 time0:40:20 it says that they when they come to the0:40:23 salaam0:40:23 they greet him in such twisted wording0:40:26 which is an insult but0:40:27 they twist their tongue so it sounds0:40:29 like like0:40:30 and one example has been narrated that0:40:32 the jews when they come to themselves0:40:36 which is very close sounding but it's0:40:38 assam in this the poison that death is0:40:40 on you0:40:42 and some of them and african african0:40:44 also0:40:45 of the jews and so on who pretend to be0:40:48 muslims or who0:40:49 want to pretend to be friendly and0:40:50 peaceful they use this this0:40:53 word twisting and so if you look to us0:40:55 as irana0:40:57 meaning although linguistically is0:40:59 possible right0:41:01 make notice for me look at me consider0:41:04 me0:41:05 but i mean you're you're stupid you are0:41:09 you are around you are0:41:10 you you are not you are you you are you0:41:13 are a0:41:13 person of uncontrolled behavior which is0:41:16 insulting0:41:18 and that's the reason the quran has0:41:19 prohibited the believer to say to the0:41:21 all this linguistic and arabic0:41:23 acceptable0:41:25 but when they use that when they they0:41:28 if allah is really this this allah knows0:41:31 what we have in heart0:41:32 why allah is not punishing us for that0:41:34 what we are doing0:41:40 that's clearly the conclusion is that0:41:42 because allah is not punishing us0:41:43 immediately0:41:46 meaning allah does not exist oh this is0:41:47 not a messenger and this is again0:41:50 a a way of rationalizing things which is0:41:54 wrong and irrational allah will not need0:41:57 to punish you directly0:42:00 he can punish you later he can give you0:42:02 an opportunity to repent0:42:05 he may be not caring about you you are0:42:06 for a community insignificant i remember0:42:08 reading once0:42:10 something written by an american young0:42:12 man who says how he struggled in his0:42:14 youth to0:42:15 to come to conclusion does god exist or0:42:17 not i say0:42:18 i used to lie in bed that's written in0:42:21 the leaders like i guess in the 60s0:42:23 the strategist and they say i used to0:42:26 lie in bed after before sleeping0:42:28 and swear towards the heaven towards us0:42:30 where0:42:31 god is allegedly there with the most and0:42:34 most nasty insults and swear words0:42:38 in the hope that they have provoked god0:42:40 to do something so i can't recognize is0:42:42 he there or not0:42:43 but nothing has happened for a long time0:42:45 so i concluded now his conclusion is the0:42:47 reason0:42:48 so either god does not exist or0:42:51 all my swearing i am so insignificant0:42:53 and more swearing he doesn't bother0:42:54 about my swing i just he let me0:42:56 swear as much as like without bothering0:42:58 this could be very0:42:59 true so at least this young american man0:43:02 is more rational than someone african at0:43:04 the time0:43:05 there are many reasons for allah to0:43:06 respond immediately0:43:09 this will be a mistake to to0:43:12 i cannot really prevent myself from0:43:14 having a joke when0:43:16 one one scientist wanted to do a test0:43:18 about0:43:19 the the power of prayer and ask for ask0:43:22 the families of certain people in the0:43:24 hospital0:43:25 to pray for them for the speed recovery0:43:27 and uh0:43:29 and another group of of of um0:43:33 of uh of people sick in the hospital he0:43:36 did not ask the family to pray for them0:43:38 and he can assume safely that the0:43:40 majority of them are secular and0:43:41 not very religious so they will not be0:43:43 praying and that he did not notice any0:43:45 of it so it is like a placebo effect0:43:47 you think you say so0:43:51 this was this this almost proved that0:43:52 god doesn't exist so0:43:54 so i commented on that in i i did i0:43:57 think i commented somewhere in my0:43:58 writing say0:43:59 this idiot thinks allah is like a rat in0:44:02 in the lab0:44:03 you do an experiment with the right you0:44:06 over cheese jesus not overseas and so on0:44:08 so that's his recipient that allah0:44:11 reacts like a rat0:44:13 and he doesn't experiment with placebo0:44:15 control0:44:17 all that he needs to do is maybe a0:44:19 double blind evil0:44:20 this is all this is all mockery but some0:44:22 people have0:44:24 whether the this one is a professor or0:44:25 medicine or the research and so on0:44:28 but that it doesn't mean that0:44:29 necessarily that a professor or a0:44:31 scientific discipline that you0:44:32 that you have achieved rationality and0:44:34 will on a0:44:36 significant way of thinking that you0:44:38 will not commit such0:44:39 fundamental philosophical and logical0:44:41 blunders so don't be fooled0:44:43 by these medical doctors and they by0:44:45 these scientists and so on0:44:47 some of them in matter of0:44:48 rationalization are so poor0:44:50 even a small child is superior to them0:44:55 most likely motivated but he would like0:44:57 to argue allah away somehow so0:44:59 we do every possible experiment or we0:45:01 did we didn't get any0:45:02 any any way to put our finger on him0:45:04 you're not going to put your finger in0:45:06 that's not the0:45:06 your reason has to reach them by0:45:08 rationalization not by experimentation0:45:10 not by experiments of0:45:14 animal experience or something similar0:45:16 to animal experience or or0:45:17 clinical trials it doesn't work this way0:45:20 but some people think this way because0:45:22 they have been tuned that is only way of0:45:24 science is that0:45:25 either clinical trial experimentation or0:45:27 controlled observation i could tell0:45:28 scholars anything else will not0:45:30 get us any information knowledge this is0:45:32 a blatant0:45:34 dangerous approach of rationality which0:45:36 will0:45:37 really get you in in fundamental trouble0:45:39 you will not recognize how the universe0:45:41 work you will not know where you are in0:45:43 the0:45:43 universe now but back back to the issue0:45:46 so0:45:49 so i i would say my own and they don't0:45:51 perceive it what they don't perceive is0:45:52 that they are deceiving themselves0:45:55 we're doing a great job we're not0:45:57 testing ourselves we're doing the right0:45:58 thing0:45:59 successful they don't perceive the deep0:46:03 reality that0:46:04 by what they are doing ultimately will0:46:05 end with them in the punishment of allah0:46:08 or that they have deceived themselves0:46:11 their initial deception0:46:12 like for example let us take the case of0:46:16 type 1 like a a spy of the kuffar0:46:20 and they have been spies of the kuffar0:46:22 coming for example and someone spotted0:46:24 one of them in egypt sitting0:46:25 with a soviet circle with a big beard0:46:27 and indulged in this we had tahil0:46:30 hundred times0:46:31 several hundred times also he grew and0:46:32 they recognized him0:46:34 uh he's a man of the cia and obviously0:46:36 after he finished the job0:46:38 he went back to america and the bill is0:46:40 gone0:46:41 and back to the nice life of of0:46:43 washington or new york0:46:45 with debauchery and woman and so on and0:46:47 drinking as well i can't even believe0:46:49 them like maybe he's an atheist to start0:46:50 with but he was pretending excellently0:46:52 to be a sufi and pretending0:46:54 and so on so this man thinks i have0:46:57 deceived them i got to0:46:58 i got the necessary contacts because0:47:00 many of in egypt especially0:47:03 people iraqi in the military and so on0:47:05 attend the soviet circle and so on0:47:07 and by contacting them and having good0:47:09 relation with them you may be able to0:47:10 get some information some secret0:47:12 things like that anyway you will write0:47:13 your report and send it to the0:47:14 headquarters0:47:15 and they will get all the reports and0:47:17 analyze it so he came specifically to0:47:19 spy on muslims0:47:20 so if you ask himself i succeeded to0:47:22 receive these idiots muslims0:47:23 and by pretending to be a sophie there0:47:25 he is0:47:27 a reality he deceived himself because he0:47:29 deprives him from opportunity0:47:33 to find out is islam the truth or not0:47:45 because it's very obvious that the0:47:47 deception means so when allah says0:47:49 they don't perceive that they are0:47:51 deceiving themselves not that they are0:47:52 not believers0:47:54 because this one knows that he is not a0:47:55 believer and he planned it and he is0:47:57 dealing with a drama at this0:47:58 time one type two you will say he's0:48:02 deceiving this in both ways0:48:03 i'm a believer i may have shahada0:48:09 everything is fine but he's deceiving0:48:12 himself right there because0:48:13 uh he is his clarification his0:48:18 classification himself has to be a true0:48:19 believer and one who survived in achara0:48:21 without any punishment or with0:48:23 or escaping the punishment completely is0:48:25 wrong because he0:48:26 did not uh understand his his0:48:29 his belief properly and and sometimes0:48:32 the guilty party would be maybe the0:48:33 people who give him fatwa and so on so0:48:35 it will be0:48:35 it will become it will become uh become0:48:39 a whole direction0:48:40 become a whole uh misguidance0:48:43 guided by some some some misguided0:48:45 scholars or mistaken scholars0:48:48 like for example jesus christian quran0:48:50 condemned them say0:48:52 they said the the fire will not touch us0:48:55 except few days0:48:56 whatever we do call us we are the sons0:48:58 of god and his darling so whatever we do0:49:01 we'll be punished only a few days and0:49:02 he'll fail we'll be out allah says0:49:04 did you take covenant by allah that he0:49:06 would punish you only for a few days0:49:09 have you ever covered it from allah they0:49:10 have no covenant in your life you've got0:49:11 the scripture there's no covenant0:49:12 there's the opposite shows severest0:49:15 punishment for them0:49:16 for transgression for even minor0:49:17 translation let alone0:49:19 major translation or you are just0:49:21 claiming about allah something without0:49:23 knowledge0:49:23 but this is most likely propagated by0:49:25 their by their0:49:27 robbies by their priests and so on and0:49:29 put in their mind0:49:31 so this disease can't can0:49:34 can start with scholarship and spread to0:49:36 the general public and cause0:49:38 a whole nation to become essentially on0:49:41 the border of the0:49:42 of destruction and demise because they0:49:44 are misunderstanding the0:49:46 the position the universe understanding0:49:47 the relationship0:49:49 and this may be based on the eyes and0:49:52 fabrication and so on0:49:55 so my sharon is focusing on that they0:49:57 are not perceiving and not for0:49:59 noticing that they are deceiving0:50:01 themselves0:50:03 they are very well confident that we are0:50:06 not that we are0:50:07 we are deceiving the other side either0:50:09 deliberately that is0:50:10 type0:50:16 anybody and we are not deceiving0:50:18 ourselves0:50:19 right by necessity but in reality they0:50:22 are deceiving themselves0:50:23 by this deficient create underserved0:50:26 deficient proliferation0:50:27 and which they want to they wanted to to0:50:30 to escape the punishment from okiyama0:50:33 without paying the price for it0:50:35 remind me just a story about paying the0:50:36 price and the0:50:44 but there's a problem0:50:49 your companion told me that there is a0:50:52 zakah and i am man0:50:54 i am a man of not very much wealth i0:50:55 have only a doubt as a small number of0:50:57 comments maybe seven eight ten0:50:59 still in five abroads you have to pay0:51:00 the cat and uh and i'm stingy here0:51:03 the man is honest and open i am stingy0:51:07 and i'm afraid if there's a cat0:51:10 collector comes i will not0:51:12 give out as a cat and you'll be in0:51:13 trouble so how can i give you covenant0:51:16 and buy up for that secondly0:51:17 they say jihad is necessary and i'm a0:51:20 coward0:51:21 i'm afraid if i meet and they say if0:51:23 someone runs away from battlefield he0:51:24 will be finished he will be destroyed0:51:26 so ha so if i can give you abaya0:51:30 with excluding these two items i'm0:51:32 willing0:51:42 you don't want to place a cat and you0:51:44 don't want to do any jihad and you want0:51:46 to enter jannah0:51:47 right how can you enter general0:51:52 how you are going to enter china just0:51:54 because you do few raka's and future0:51:55 it's not enough0:51:56 there's certain other things are0:51:57 necessary but jihad sometimes becomes0:52:03 is definitely at the foreign you have0:52:04 that islam they say there's no escape0:52:05 you have to you have to0:52:07 that's what he said there's no way to0:52:09 get to jannah by this0:52:10 by by having a deficient covenant and0:52:12 shaking your hand with me that0:52:14 i accept islam with the exclusion of0:52:15 these two0:52:17 uh uh and then he said0:52:21 he is nothing in that sense i said i0:52:23 said from allah mud0:52:25 stretch your hand i will give you0:52:26 balances to i will bite the bullet i0:52:28 will force myself0:52:30 that's the way a believer should be the0:52:33 right way we said0:52:35 you want to enter paradise if you want0:52:36 to enterprise you have to get some in0:52:38 some hardship0:52:39 you have to to carry it uh to carry some0:52:42 burden it doesn't go0:52:44 maybe all your life long you will not0:52:46 have a zenith blizzard you will never0:52:47 play the car you are lucky you get away0:52:49 and it will there never be a situation0:52:51 that uh go far will be invading your0:52:53 country so you need to fight them0:52:54 festivals and in0:52:58 in or at that time you are old and0:53:02 you're excluded from your heart or you0:53:03 are blind that you cannot fight someone0:53:05 is fighting0:53:06 you don't know what happened in the0:53:07 future but in principle you have to be0:53:09 ready for this0:53:12 allah0:53:21 with these two without these two you0:53:23 have to there's a many moment these two0:53:25 there's0:53:25 no escape from the minimum0:53:29 so so as either another type one or one0:53:33 after0:53:33 two whenever one they are conscious that0:53:35 they are deceiving the believer and they0:53:37 think deceiving allah if they believe in0:53:39 his existence0:53:40 like the cia man who was sitting in the0:53:42 soviet circus0:53:44 in cairo according to the reports for0:53:46 long for many years0:53:47 before he bailed out and went back0:53:50 but he but he does not perceive that0:53:52 he's deceiving himself because she0:53:53 thinks i'm doing a great job0:53:55 i'm deceiving everyone no not myself i0:53:57 know i do i know i know very well that0:53:59 i'm doing0:53:59 that's the type one when i type two0:54:03 he thinks i am not receiving nobody no0:54:05 allah no0:54:06 i'm real believer with this deficient0:54:08 belief i am a believer0:54:09 he's deceiving himself about his own0:54:11 iman that is iman is sufficient and good0:54:14 enough0:54:15 to enter jannah he's not willing to to0:54:18 do more0:54:20 as i said some of these of weak faith0:54:22 may get lucky and escape0:54:24 any test tribulation but it's very0:54:26 unlikely because tribulation is not only0:54:28 that the foreign enemy is inviting your0:54:30 country0:54:31 no or you you have never enough money or0:54:35 enough money left at the end of the year0:54:37 to pay zakah0:54:38 no tribulation could happen that's where0:54:41 one of your beloved one is uh is killed0:54:44 in an accident0:54:46 and you do not make any sense about0:54:49 about how the extent happened why you0:54:51 are the one or the only one for example0:54:53 your son0:54:53 in a bus school bus under school must0:54:56 have a major accident0:54:57 and almost everyone survived except you0:54:59 your son or one other one0:55:00 is killed going my son once physically0:55:02 myself or0:55:04 one0:55:06 0:55:17 i remember myself watching television in0:55:20 1981-820:55:21 there was an america in a sabbatical0:55:23 year in the lawrence livermore0:55:25 laboratory and the university of0:55:26 berkeley0:55:27 during a sabbatical and then during that0:55:30 year there was a mudslide in daly city0:55:32 on the other side0:55:33 i was in berkeley and in san francisco0:55:35 daily city and san francisco0:55:37 is quite rainy and that there are like0:55:39 heavy areas0:55:40 and they seem to be they didn't prepare0:55:42 the ground properly0:55:43 or they prepared it probably but0:55:45 sometimes the rain is so heavy0:55:47 that nothing can be done except that0:55:49 just suffer through a0:55:51 mudslide so there was a mudslide and0:55:53 there were houses alongside0:55:55 and then the television showed the0:55:57 calamity and people screaming and the0:55:59 man0:56:00 like in his 40 said the house0:56:03 mud came i barely escaped outside and0:56:06 and then0:56:07 but the mud part of the mud caught my0:56:10 daughter his daughter was like in her0:56:12 twenties or so0:56:13 uh like what they call the flower asian0:56:15 possibly she was maybe0:56:16 being prepared to get married or0:56:18 something like that and then say i hold0:56:20 her0:56:20 i held her hand try to pull her out of0:56:22 the mud and he's demonstrating that in0:56:24 front of my eyes0:56:25 in the in in the television0:56:29 but it was very difficult and it was0:56:31 screaming oh god help me0:56:33 but god did not help me and the mud0:56:36 swallowed here she's gone away0:56:41 there's no god how come that he did not0:56:44 help me0:56:45 so this man understanding of god and0:56:48 qatar and the universe0:56:49 is that allah is obliged to help him0:56:51 oblige to to undo the action of the0:56:53 mudslide0:56:54 the mudslide is the result of the rain0:56:56 and that area is there any area0:56:58 sometimes there isn't me0:57:00 that's how hurricanes does not emerge0:57:02 that's the nature of the atmosphere0:57:04 is going to change the universe because0:57:06 if someone is0:57:07 asking for it but if it's working like0:57:09 that and it's part of the testing0:57:11 so he's misunderstood his understanding0:57:13 of allah0:57:15 and the relation to allah is wrong0:57:18 there's deficiency in understanding0:57:19 allah there's0:57:20 all the general this is widespread in0:57:22 christian because they're0:57:23 the extreme point of view that allah is0:57:25 extremely benevolent to the level that0:57:26 he even sacrificed0:57:28 loved the world so much like according0:57:30 to john that he0:57:31 uh was willing or is willing to0:57:33 sacrifice his own son to save the people0:57:35 from sin0:57:36 that's that's that's extremely dangerous0:57:39 and will invite you in trouble0:57:42 so it's more interesting but you will0:57:44 find some belonging to the muslim fear0:57:46 will will collapse it will be collapsing0:57:48 under such situation0:57:49 why you didn't you helped you allah in0:57:51 this situation you will find0:57:52 but it's not as well why displayed as as0:57:55 uh0:57:57 i saw an interview with with the with an0:57:59 english woman0:58:00 i think i i read that i didn't see it i0:58:02 read it0:58:04 why did i became an atheist she had she0:58:06 she was i think her husband0:58:08 died some time ago and the only combine0:58:09 she has was a dog nice dog0:58:11 lovely dog and dog is a very good0:58:13 company as you know good0:58:14 dogs are very kind and very very smooth0:58:17 and0:58:17 and you could develop an excellent0:58:19 relationship that's one of the reasons0:58:20 that islam0:58:21 tried to make a difference with them0:58:22 because they could the narration could0:58:24 become emotionally0:58:25 very demanding even better than the0:58:26 nation with on children0:58:28 and the only the only0:58:32 really joy in her life was this dog0:58:34 walking him out going out or somehow0:58:36 or better than a child i think even her0:58:37 children if she has children they have0:58:39 abandoned her0:58:40 like unfortunately in this society very0:58:42 wisely0:58:43 and then one day i think the dog was0:58:45 playing around and jumping jumped the0:58:47 street and the car killed the dog0:58:50 and she said this cannot god could not0:58:52 have permitted that to happen0:58:54 he doesn't exist so if you came here it0:58:56 is because of that0:58:59 so so the test does not need an army0:59:02 invade your country0:59:03 or you become rich and then you face the0:59:06 the0:59:07 the the shock of building out the zakah0:59:09 and paying uh0:59:10 and paying your dues no it can be even0:59:13 other situation0:59:14 even for poor people other people and0:59:17 here the the0:59:18 the deficiency in in very previously0:59:20 before the test0:59:21 is that your understanding of allah and0:59:24 his0:59:24 and his actions in the universe is not0:59:27 correct0:59:27 it's deficient you have the wrong belief0:59:29 about allah or0:59:30 partly our own belief which will bring0:59:33 you into trouble0:59:34 when such a test comes0:59:38 so that's that's just how0:59:41 some people so these before before the0:59:44 testing0:59:56 some get lucky all their lives are not0:59:58 tested but it's very unlikely because0:59:59 there will be some kind of test1:00:02 there'll be some kind of test1:00:05 even in own health getting suddenly a1:00:07 cancer why why me1:00:09 i'm not a smoker how come that i get the1:00:10 cancer why my neighbor is smoking1:00:12 like a chimney and is not getting cancer1:00:15 and then starting to blame1:00:17 and and questioning him get out of islam1:00:21 to cover them with this way1:00:25 so all of these things are have to be1:00:27 kept in mind that we1:00:29 that we don't fall in the trap of of uh1:00:32 misunderstanding and underestimating the1:00:34 danger of the danger of the fact or not1:00:37 because that danger is apparent when1:00:40 someone believes that the fact is only1:00:41 in the fact1:00:42 of time one if you for us only if the1:00:46 result we have from today is that in1:00:47 fact is not only type one1:00:49 but there is also type two which is you1:00:51 then one african city is not aware that1:00:52 he is a monafied1:00:56 then if we take this this this important1:00:59 fact uh1:01:00 on board then uh we have we have uh1:01:03 gained a sense of what these eyes are1:01:06 trying to1:01:07 to to present to us other than this1:01:09 further aspect of what in fact1:01:11 we'll discuss inshallah next next1:01:14 but most important is that not to1:01:17 commit a mistake like many classical1:01:19 scholars especially in the later1:01:21 generations1:01:28 are much more cautious in the later1:01:30 generation because the widespread1:01:31 uh definition of iman is just purely1:01:34 just there purely believing something to1:01:35 be true1:01:37 can be misleading and can cause well but1:01:39 we discussed also in the issue of iman1:01:42 and we discussed also in the issue of1:01:43 kophor which is the opposite of iman1:01:45 now we have a more complex one which is1:01:47 delivered but we'll continue inshallah1:01:49 with other features about omar 151:01:52 were given to them to see which kind1:01:54 although1:01:55 most of the talk here is essentially as1:01:57 we receive them there is about one1:01:58 africa of time one1:02:00 and the real especially the relation1:02:01 between the jews and the1:02:03 one african of the jews of african assad1:02:05 who are friends of the jews1:02:06 with islam will come to that but keep in1:02:09 mind1:02:10 the danger and the uh1:02:13 of being being afraid number two of type1:02:16 two1:02:18 i will continue next week with the1:02:20 various aspects and1:02:21 intricacies of the this phenomenon of1:02:24 and what does it also1:02:25 keep in mind that in in in the sense i1:02:28 explained in mecca1:02:29 there's no need to believe that this1:02:31 ayah in the matthew1:02:38 they give the example of the story of1:02:41 israel1:02:41 and how some people just left islam1:02:44 because they became altered when they1:02:45 were shocked about that1:02:46 because their iman is having a1:02:48 fundamental deficiency either a matter1:02:50 of understanding1:02:51 or a mental commitment or both1:02:55 so i think1:03:00 we can we can get some questions1:03:03 or post one the question until we have1:03:04 the uh close them because the various1:03:06 aspects of1:03:07 of this issue uh to be discussed next1:03:09 time or time but if there's any1:03:11 questions related to this immediately we1:03:13 can we can discuss it now1:03:17 no questions have come through this1:03:18 session okay i think it's clear but it's1:03:21 very important to just i think this is1:03:23 which has been1:03:24 out of the of the focus and the view of1:03:27 majority of muslim and even scholars1:03:30 is that there is time too this1:03:34 seems to be this doesn't come in their1:03:35 mind it always in their mind that the1:03:37 monarch is the one who is1:03:39 publicly a muslim but internally a1:03:40 catholic and it seems to be there1:03:42 assuming by default that he is1:03:43 internally a cover1:03:45 and he is conscious that he is a1:03:47 catholic and he knows that he's a1:03:48 catholic he's just1:03:49 deceiving everyone and playing the game1:03:51 for whatever social games and so on1:03:53 and things are also involved social1:03:55 games they're making mistakes1:04:04 is a big mess but if we thought things1:04:07 like this way1:04:08 then we will will we shall have a better1:04:11 understanding1:04:12 and have more benefit from the eyes1:04:14 about the vacuum1:04:15 or and we will be able to to1:04:19 to understand things better inshallah1:04:28 1:04:50 you
