Jazzakal;lah, Brother Mohammed Sheikh
First we will start with the ladies,
the sisters and give them the
opportunity to ask questions.
And after they are done with
their questions, then the gentlemen,
the brothers will be given the
opportunity to ask their questions.
And once all the questions from
the hall has been taken then
we will move to our online
forum, Paltalk and see if
there any questions online.
And then we will end the
session inshallah so now
we begin our questions.
As sal o aleikum.
Walekum
My question is, can you
quote any ayah or verse from
Quraían to establish spiritual
killing or psychological killing?
Okay. The question is, there
are two types of killing in the
world you see. One is the
physical killing. You kill someone.
But at the same time in the
Quraían there is a psychology
killing where we have seen
the nafs. Nafs means psychology.
And in the Quraían there are
places where you understand
that we have oppressed our
souls, oppressed our souls,
you have to kill your souls.
Meaning kill your psyches
so that you get better.
So in this your question is
that you want reference from
the Quraían where there is a
Now this ayah, one ayat
then I will read another
ayah also. That Allah has purchased
(Arabic text)
Allah has purchased from the believers
(Arabic text)
from the believers their souls,
their psyches, their nafsiat.
Allah has purchased those psyche.
That doesnít mean I die.
I have sold my psyche.
They say that this person has
been sold by some country,
America has purchased him.
So heís no more his own,
he doesnít have his own
say but what the Americans say,
he will follow that, this man.
Similarly, when Allah purchased
a person, Allah purchased
the psyche of a believer,
so heís psyche is no more
his own will. His will is
totally submitted to Allah
and his wealth so in this
ayah Allah said, surely Allah
has purchased from the
believers their psyches and
their wealth. When they have
sold their psyche, they have
sold their wealth, the behavior
of these people in against
Garden because against Garden
Arabic
They fight in the way of Allah.
Arabic
They fight in the way
of Allah. They kill and they
get killed. So this is, this
ayah Iím referring it, they
fight in the way of Allah,
how they fight in the way
of Allah? Whatever the nafs,
whatever the ayahs, they come
to know the dos and the donts
They practice that. So they
have to kill. I am addicted
to gambling. I have to kill
myself. I donít have to gamble.
I am addicted to drinking.
I have to kill that self.
I am notÖSo I am killing
my soul because my soul is
being purchased by Allah.
So when Allah is purchased
I am no more myself.
So this is not a physical killing.
He says, they fight in
the way of Allah, the know
what are the dos and the
donts and then they fight
themselves so they fight in
the way, the kill and they
get killed. They get killed
means they kill that aspect
of that wrongdoing theyíre
alive because further it say,
then they should rejoice.
Rejoice your deal. If they
are physically dead, then how
can they rejoice their deal?
So Allah says
Arabic
So you rejoice with your
deal that you bargain with Him.
So in this ayah, when they
are fighting in the way of Allah,
meaning they are fighting within
themselves/ Their souls have
been purchased. Their wealth
has been purchased. They are
fighting within themselves by
the dos and the donts.
They are looking at the dos
and the donts and governing
their personality so they are
killing their souls and they
are fighting in the way of
Allah, they are killing their
souls. Then they rejoice.
When Allah has purchased them.
They rejoice. Further thereís
one more ayat youíll note down.
In this ayah, the word is
Arabic
You kill your soul.
Arabic
That is better for you in the nearness of
your Lord. So in this ayah,
if you look, Allah says people
of the Moses have oppressed
their souls They have oppressed
their souls, they have done zulm.
They have done, oppressed
their souls. In this context
Allah says, Moosa (pbuh) says to
his people,, you kill yourselves.
That doesnít mean I kill myself.
That is haram. Suicide. Killing.
That is not allowed.
So meaning whatever the oppression
that I have done on my soul,
I have to kill that.
So that I may be alive.
So Allah says, Moosa (pbuh) says,
you kill your souls
Arabic
So kill your souls. Kill your selves.
Arabic
That is better for you.
Arabic
in the nearness of your lord
So Allah will return on you.
Surely Heís oft-Returning,
most Merciful. So there are many
ayahs where you can see that
there is a psychological killing.
Psychology killing. Meaning
Allah has purchased our souls.
So we have submitted totally
to Allah. Allah has purchased
so we donít belong to ourselves.
We belong to Allah. And my
wealth belongs to Allah and
that person will always act
upon Allahís ayahs. He will
not think twice. He will just
act because his life is, his
psychology has been purchased.
So if you look that people,
the shaitan is also purchased,
make people out of what they,
he thinks he Do not follow
the khutubaaate shaitan, footsteps
of shaitan, he, people are
following the shaitan also.
So they canít get out from it.
But when Allah purchase, similarly
people their psychesí been
controlled by Allahís ayahs.
Allah - and he submits.
Thank you, Brother.
As salam o aleikum, Sheikh Saheb.
My question is related to
Surah Tauba and ayah no. 24.
The different relationships that
are discussed here. I understand
the psychological detachment not
being affected by the wrongdoings
of these people. My question is,
can we physically detach ourselves
from these people too? I mean,
stop talking to them, stop seeing them?
No. You can mingle them,
you can interact them, you
can talk to them. Because
Ibraheem (pbuh) because Allah
says even they do not,
the parents, talking about the
parents, so in the Quraían
Ibraheem (pbuh) did not believe
what he believed but he was
also he asked for forgiveness.
Similarly, we can, if youíre
talking about the parents,
the son, I donít know which
relation youíre talking about specifically.
Children?
Sister.
Bother and sisters, okay. No,
brothers and sisters also,
you cannotÖYou see, you can
never stop talking to those
people who do not practice Islam.
You must remember this because
the moment you do you are
sitting on the straight path.
The shaitan will make you sit
on the straight path but not
delivering the message. You must
have a relationship with the,
keeping the veil in between,
of belief and unbelief.
You cannot be the protector
to them. That is what Allah
says, do not be a protector to
them. Do not protect them.
But you must always give
guidance or give the judgment.
If they are not migrating,
give the judgment. Itís there.
You must discuss. The discussion
should not be stopped. Whenever the
situation arises, you can talk
ayahs to them but not that
you have completely closed doors.
As salam o aleikum
Walekum as salam.
Okay. My question is from
Surah Anfal, ayah 72.
It says that if they seek
your help in the judgment
and over you is that you help
them, except over the people
over thereís a covenant
between you and them.
The point, a person has a
covenant with other person,
that he or she will not share
the message. Now the other
personís asking, seeking the
help in the judgment.
Even if he seeks the help
in the judgment, then also
weíre not supposed to share?
Because you have a
covenant in the people
not to help them.
They are breaking the covenant
na, they are seeking our help.
Especially theyíre in a judgment.
Yeah but we cannot.
We cannot. We just refuse them?
Yeah. Because the fact is
that the covenant is there not
to do so. Because then
your life will be in problem.
Okay.
Because Iím talking about
smallÖthereís a big issue
in the world that there are
times that the non-Muslim makes
sure that you do not propagate
or talk about the message
or your message or Allahís
message to the community.
They donít want the community
should be disturbed. So this is
when youíre covenant then
you may not. If there is free
society you can talk. You can
educate. Thatís all right. But if
thereís a covenant between the
parties, between you and
them, then you must not.
Even if a member of that community isÖ
Yeah. He approaches you.
Thank you.
As salam o aleikum.
Walekum salam.
Well, on listening your lecture,
I learned the rather I gathered
the knowledge that one has
to strive with oneís own
psyche or oneís own self
whereas Ch. 47 :4, that is
Surah Mohammed, Allah says ,
strike the neck of the rejecters
which in fact points out physical
killing. Would you elaborate or clarify?
Okay. There is an ayat in the
Quraían which refers to striking
of the necks of the rejecters.
Striking of the necks of the
rejecters. That is referred to,
Surah Mohammed by the name
of Mohammed (pbuh),
I read for you first.
So now people are thinking
if Iím also saying,
Arabic
if I say strike the neck, does
it in your mindÖAllah says,
when you meet those who
reject, you strike the necks.
Thatís what Allah says.
Now, Iím asking you that,
if I read thisÖI will read
further afterwards but if
I read this little portionÖ
does it sound to you behead
the neck? Strike the neck
or behead the neck?
You see, if it would have
been behead, you know you
see in the movies, behead
the necks, putting theÖ.chop
off the necksÖthe Quraían
doesnít say to chop off
the necks. It is to strike the
necks. Because the necks,
one of the Quraíanic ayats,
Surah Yasin, Allah says the
rejecters necks are stiff -
like this, you know.
Thereís arrogance and if you
quote the ayat, then necks areÖ
that is the striking on the necksÖ
You see what I say.
The people whose necks are
stiff because of the rejection,
they are proudÖthe people
who have got proud necks
because the necks in
psychology refers to is
proud and with a produful man.
So you strike the necks means
with the ayahs when you
quote the ayahs, their necks
will beÖYeah thereÖthe
necks will be strikeÖSo if
you refer to as a physical
strike which people are referring
to as beheading the necks,
the physical killing or physical
killing. Then we read further.
So when you meet those
who reject, then strike the necks
So if they were beheaded,
then you will not tie them
firmly, you will not be thick
with them if they are beheadÖ
So that means these people
are alive. You, until you
are thick to them means you
disagree excessively to what
theyíre thinking so that
neck is softened. The neck
are not stiff-headed. Tie
firmly means tie them psychologically
In this, if you read the
complete ayat, it is not
referring to beheading of
the necks. It is the stiff
neck of the rejecters are
being softened by being strongly
opposing them. Psychological.
It is also referring to a
psychological stiffing of the
necks. You know this.
This neck is stiff. Stiff neck.
In English language they
call it as a stiff neck.
So in striking the neck,
the neck whichÖis stiff
because of a certain ideology,
because of the QuraíanicÖthe
neck is softened. In this ayah.
Okay itís not a physical slaughtering.
Any other question? Okay.
Mr Sheikh, I have a
very simple question on your
page 16. Exact. Can you
give me the exact translation of
that verse that is used twice
and is translated to a
color or dye if possible.
means dye.. means dye.
Dye?
Dye of Allah?
Dye of Allah, the color of Allah.
Okay.
Okay.
As salam o aleikum.
Walekum salam.
I have two questions.
OkayÖOneÖby one.
Yeah. First one is, what
do you say about killing
which is going on in the
world in name of Islam?
Is this a jihad?
Can you clarify this?
Okay. You see, I was
referring to one of, in
my lectures, I refer in
the end also, so I referred to
Al Furqan, 25: 52.
(Arabic text)
Do not obey the rejecters.
Okay?
(Arabic text)
And strive with them.
You strive with them - who?
Those who are rejecting.
Those who reject, you strive
with them with this, with
the Quraíanic ayahs, the
dos and the donts, that is
the great jihad. Now people
who are doing war, killing
each other, as referred to
as jihad, basically nowhere
in the Quraían the word
I was in the beginning I
told you, was means harab.
Harab means war. So there
is not a single ayah in the
Quraían which is haraballah.
You know in the way of
Allah you have wars.
Not a single ayah.
Jihad we have read thjis
ayaat which mean strive
and after reading the ayahs
we come to know that
we have to strive our souls,
our psyche. So that we get
peace in this world and Jannah,
Garden on the other side and
good pleasures of Allah.
But people who are doing
jihad or striving if you say
wars in the name of Islam,
then Allah says do
not obey them.
(Arabic Text)
They are rejecting. So do
not obey the rejecters.
And rejecter I defined those
who have listened to
the ayahs, they understand
the ayahs and still they reject.
So you have to do jihad
with them. You have to
strive with them, you have
to educate them. So that
they change. The opinion
about this. This is also a
media propaganda also,
that thereí a holy war
going on in the world.
This is not true. In the
name ofÖBut what they do is in
Islah meansÖThey are doing fasaad.
Because it creates fasaad in
the world by bloodshed because
Allah does not need anybodyís blood.
So people who are doing jihad,
in the Quraían it is against
their own souls and against
those people who are rejecters,
who ,listen to the ayahs and
still they donít practice, donít do.
So you do jihad with them
with the Quraíanic ayahs,
with the governing ayahs, with the
dos and the donts. Educating them
as you have done jihad to yourself.
That is the right way of
doing jihad. Your second question.
Whatís the difference
between protector and helper?
Protector isÖhelper isÖlike
youíre under protectionÖyouíre
under protectionÖhelpingÖsomebody
requires something you can
help them by materialÖby
material things, by give
knowledge also .But protection
is that if something happens
to you, you protect them.
You are a protector by ayahs.
If I quote you ayahs, suppose
I do something wrong,
I forget an ayah, you can
quote me an ayah to protect
me, that Iím misguiding myself.
Helper is like requiring money
or like material gains or someÖ
Protector by the Quraíanic ayahs. ..
each other. Iím a protector
you by the Quraíanic Öyou
can protect me. I may deviate,
you quote me the ayat,
educate me so that
Iím being protected. Okay?
Thank you.
As salam o aleikum
Walekum as salam.
Sheikh Saheb, I also have two questions.
Two questions?
Yes. My first question is from
Surah Baqara, 2: 138.
As you have mentioned, that
Allah color, dyes the people.
So my question is, how we
will recognize the color of Allah in people?
Now will you recognize theÖ
color of Allah in people?
I explained to you that,
by the Quraíanic ayahs,
people are quoting the Quraían
because Allahís way Allahís
ways is the Quríanic ayahs,
the governing aayahs. Thereís an
ayati in the Quraían which you look
Now, you want to identify the
color of Allah in a man,
that Allahís color isÖAllah
has dyed this man or notÖ
Allah has colored this man
or not, Allah has painted this
man or not. So what Iím
telling..first of all, in the ayat,
thereís an ayat in the Quraían,
if you love Allah, heís telling
all mankind, if you love Allah,
then follow the messenger.
And if you follow the messenger,
Allah will love you. And He
will forgive you your sins,
your sins will be forgiven if
you follow the messenger and
the messengerís duty I read
in the lecture also, appoint a
messenger among them, who
recite the ayahs
Arabic
O our lord,
you appoint a messenger amongst
them who will recite your ayahs
Arabic
he will give the knowledge
of the Book
Arabic
and he will justify them. Recite the ayahs,
give the knowledge of the book
and he will justify them.
And this is the duty of the
messenger. So now if you
follow the messenger, you have
to do the same. And these
ayahs are Allahís way.
So if you know the ayahs and
if you implement in your life
and you educate these ayahs,
this is the color of Allah.
This is the message because
Allah says in one of the ayat,
So the color of Allah is identified
in a man who is God-conscious.,
who is aware of his surroundings,
whoís aware of Allahís ayahs,
who knows them, implements them
and educate them and justify
people. All Muslims duty is
to do the same. So whoever
is doing that, you have to
first know Allahís ayahs.
You know, you must know
how to love Allah and how
to love Allah is to follow the
messenger. So if you know
and you follow the messenger,
then you can understand the
color of Allah. Because Allahís
color cannot be identified by
those people who do not
know Allah and His messenger
and they donít follow. You have
to do the same, meaning you
know the ayahs, you understand them,
you memorize them, you implement
them and you educate other people.
That is theÖif you are doing
the same, you can identify
others, the color of Allah.
Thank you very much.
Next question is from
Surah Furqan, 25:52.
As you have mentioned thatÖ
do not obey the rejecters,
so can you please elaborate
the meaning. Obey. What does
thatÖ? How canÖobeyÖ
obeying can be done
Suppose they say you have
a war with the non-Muslims
right now. They are having,
it is holy jihad. Now you
see they want to give shariah
on this world. If you
remember, they will start
killing. So you donít obey
them. They are rejecting
the ayahs, you donít obey.
Any person who reject
the ayahs, you donít obey
them. Obey means they
because they are providing
their philosophy. You see,
look very interesting thing
is, like I read one of the
places that *** or
adultery or fornication, Allah says
this is not to do. Right?
But Allah has given the
shaitan the permission to
do fahashi in the world.
So you canít fight or kill
the shaitan because it will
kill the dont that the fahashi
will be there. The corruption
is there. So what a person
say, you stop fahashi, you
cantí. Because Allahas
mentioned in the Quraían,
you will see the mushriks in
the world, the associates, you
will see the hypocrites in
the world, the munafiqs in
the world, you will see
the Yahoodi in the world
because the Quraían says so.
You will see the Nasar/the
Christian wolrd because the
Quraían says. You will see
the people who believe, believers,
are in minority but the majority
of the Quraían is talking to
the other people who are
non-believers. The most of the
Quraían is addressing and
trying to educate the non-believers
to believe. There are very
little, few ayahs to the
believers. So you cannot
wipe off all the wrongs that
is being prevailed by being
educated by the shaitan,
by the shaitan because Allah
has given the permission to
the shaitan to the doomsday
to misguide people. And
Allah says in the majority
will misguide. So you canít
expect that we want this,
this is your own philosophy.
In the Quraían the majority
of the people will be misguided
and the majority of the
people will do mischiefs
in the land and they say
they are doing islah, they
are doing corrections.
But basically do not obey
means a person, if you
quote the ayahs, you educate
them and if you see that
they are not implementing
those ayaat, you do not
obey them. But if they
are your parents, Allah said
do not obey them but live
them with rahmas or goodness.
Do not obey their philosophies
but you have to live with
them in nice manner - with
the parents. Otherwise, you
donít obey them. So obey
means, do not agree to
their concepts. When you know the
Quraíanic ayahs, you implement
those ayahs, do not obey
them. And thenÖit is not
finished. ThereÖthen you
have to do jihad. You have
to strive with them, with
this, the dos and the donts
and the governing ayats
of the Quraaínic ayahs so
that the message delivered
to them. You have to keep
on doingÖand that is the
jihadun kabira. That is the
biggest jihad. So this is
a very difficult issue.
to talk to those who reject.
It is very easy to those who
are ignorant. It is very
easy to speak to any ignorant
man of the Quraíanic ayat.
The one who knows the ayats,
he rejectsÖhe Öthe type
of way he rejectÖheís got
his own philosophy to reject.
You must understand this.
So there are people, most
of the people I take them
as ignorant. When you quote
the ayahs, you educate them,
after that you come to know
where he lies. But it takes
a big period of time, still
of struggling and educating and this.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
