william from them he's from them
and then allah says after that
unless you have fear unless you're
endangered unless there's
situations says that this
is in situations that will continue
until the end of time
and that's just one example now what
believers do which i really
interest me about believers i like this
aspect of believers
believers and i'll give you one example
somebody was you know going on and on to
somebody who i know
about this that and the other and how
you know i did this and i did that and
he was well maybe he did for this reason
maybe he did it for this reason maybe he
did for
and he said you're just making excuses
for him
and this man just said to him he's very
sweet man very pure man he's
he really is a pure man young man from
new york he said
isn't that what we're supposed to do
and that's that's all he said you know
it i thought that it wasn't that islam
wasn't that like
looking for excuses maybe maybe this or
maybe that
you know because you see the thing about
islam this is very tricky
people the thing about islam is you know
the hearts
nobody knows the hearts only allah knows
the hearts it's something that he veiled
even from his
angels did you know that even the angels
do not know the human heart
the devil himself does not know what is
in your heart
he doesn't have access because the heart
is god's alone
it's just god's god made the heart for
himself
nobody has any share in the heart
secrets
and that's why the quran is filled with
verses allah knows what's in the hearts
and then allah said to his prophet
judge people by the outward but don't
assume
what their inward state is don't assume
what their inward state is
just judge them by that word umirtu
i was commanded to judge people
according to the outward
so i think what's interesting to me
about the lack
of education in our community is that we
bypass all the principles of islam all
of them they're just
thrown out nobody they're paid lipstick
they're put up on the walls
right people have them in their houses
on the walls
speak well to people you speak
beautifully to people that's in the
quran
and it doesn't say
speak beautiful to the believer the
quran says do not say to those who greet
you with the green
peace you're not a muslim
you know what abu hanifah took from that
verse i mean it's really interesting he
said
anyone that shows any type of
outward courtesy towards muslims you
should assume that he's a muslim
before you assume he's a kafir because
he said
it's better to mistake a thousand
atheists for being kafirs than to
mistake one muslim for being a
if it's it's easier to mistake a
thousand atheists
considering them muslims than to
consider one muslim
outside of the fold of islam that's what
ever said
just one cell in sahih muslim the
prophet said mankaf
whoever says that a muslim is a kafir
one of them is a kafir one of them
i mean those are bad odds
do you know if if any of you know
anything about
gambling you know those are
bad odds so you better get it right
you better get it right and in islam
interesting enough in in the rules of
the tongue which i taught
and and attempt with great difficulty
to practice but in the rules of the
tongue
if somebody calls you a fornicator you
can't say bel antazani
no you're the fornicator if somebody
says you're a thief you can't say no
you're the thief you can't do that it's
haram according to sharia
but if anyone calls you a kafir it is
absolutely permitted
to say you're the kafir and is that
interesting in the rules of the tongue
because if you know you're a believer
they have left islam by deeming you a
disbeliever
they're out it's gone it's all over
so people should really think deeply
about this situation
this situation we find ourselves in
muslims
right really we have to really think
about
how we're treating each other now i have
never
you know supported the war ever
i've never spoken in support of the war
ever
not once and it really upsets me
that people spread these rumors and
although i know there's a hadith that
says
a man towards the end of time will tell
a lie
and he said
and that lie will instantaneously be on
the horizons
of the earth it'll be all over the world
that's one of the signs of the end of
time so i get a call
from somebody in california the day this
goes out
and asking me what's that you know a lie
that goes all the way to california by
pushing a little button
now i want to tell you if you think
about the sin
of a lie because there is a hadith that
the only thing a believer cannot
be is a liar you can be a
fornicator you can be a thief you can be
an adulterer
you can be a gambler you can even be a
murderer according to the prophet
salallahu
but you cannot be a liar
i mean isn't that interesting you can't
be a liar
emon and lies are not in the same heart
they just don't fit one has to push the
other out
so i would really guard your heart and
advise all these people to
to guard their hearts you know and may
allah guide
all of us the whole lot of us because
we're a pretty pathetic lot
i mean this is a motley crew on this
planet right now
and i would say and you know if we look
at human history
i mean it's looking pretty bad it really
is
and allah says in the quran
if god took this world all the people
a nest all of humanity to account for
the wrongs on the earth
he wouldn't leave one living creature
but thank god we have a merciful lord
right alhamdulillah so i mean
alhamdulillah that's the reality of it
so i just
needed to clear that up just to kind of
you know so i can have a little
breathing space
so um and i mean it's not like i don't
i you have to expect all this stuff and
it's you know the thing about this is
that it was taken seriously
and it goes all over and there's people
that get confused
and that's called fitna and i want to
talk a little bit about that that's my
next subject
right because we're going through
islamic education
