it will overpower him. So, follow a middle course (in worship),
if you can't do this, do something near to it and give glad tidings and seek help (of Allah)
at morn and at dusk and some part of night." .إنه لشرف لي استضافتك معنا اليوم - May Allah bless you and keep you safe. And may the peace, blessings,

والعديد من الأئمة من مشارب مختلفة. كيف نحقق الوحدة في مجتمع مسلم
يجد نفسه دائما متفرق ومنقسم؟ Differences are necessary for mankind. People aren't the same.
Every person is different from the other. Their ways of thinking are different,
their specialties are different, and their natures are different. What matters is how to control our differences, and control it in a way that doesn't create
intolerance, but with respect. If we have different ideologies,
different groups, different sects, but they all follow the guidance of Islam... then, there won't be a problem
when they disagree, like we see now. People have to focus on
following the Islamic manners that dictates honesty, integrity, and seeking reform when there's a difference. Allah ordered us to make settlement between the factions of believers that are
fighting each other three times in the Quran. Allah said: "And if two factions among the believers
should fight, then make settlement between the two." That's number one. Allah said make reconcile between them. "But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses
until it returns to the ordinance of Allah. And if it returns,
then make settlement between them..." That's number two. "...make settlement between them
in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. The believers are but brothers,
so make settlement..." That's number three. "so reconcile between your brothers.
And fear Allah that you may receive mercy." If we follow the manners, and we don't have people
with characteristic of hypocrisy which our messenger PBUH forbids us from
in the hadith, "There are three signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks, he tells lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks; and when he is entrusted, he betrays his trust." Another hadith is, "Four are the qualities which,
when found in a person, make him a sheer hypocrite, and one who possesses one of them, possesses one characteristic of hypocrisy
until he abandons it. These are: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; when he promises, he acts treacherously; and when he argues,
he behaves in a very imprudent, insulting manner." ما هو نطاق أهل السنة؟ وهل يشمل كل المذاهب والعقائد؟ In regards to how we
define: "People of Sunnah"... it's different depending on
the field that it is mentioned in. “Sunnah” for scholars of hadith
is anything narrated from or about the Prophet PBUH of his statements, actions, tacit approval,
and his physical character and attributes, regardless whether it was used as an
Islamic legal evidence in Sharia or not. And for people of jurisprudence, “Sunnah” is what has a legal evidence in sharia
but without obligation to be done which means that the one who does it is rewarded
and the one who leaves it is not punished. It's also defined as what the prophet PBUH
did, showed, kept on doing, encouraged, however there is evidence
that it is not an obligation. For scholars of creed, it has 2 definitions. One, is that it opposes the Shia, which means that people who are
Sunni differ from those who are Shia. That's one thing. The other definition is holding onto the
way of the primary guidance of the Prophet and adhere to the reference of the Sunnah and always follow the Sunnah teachings
like we follow the Quran teachings. This includes all people of Sunnah,
It is the people that believe in the entire Quran and believe that it's the word of God,
and that the Quran is not created and believe in the words of Prophet Mohammad PBUH
and that which he has said is true. "Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.
It is not but a revelation revealed..." This is all Sunnah. These people differ in their degree of
honesty, lying, level of faith, being correct or being wrong. This varying degree of difference is normal. People of Sunnah in jurisprudence
for example have different schools. There's the Hanafi school, Maliki school,
Shafi'i school, Hanbali school, and Zahiri school. These are all schools of sunnah. and there are more schools that exist. When it comes to creed,
they also have schools. There's the school of the pious predecessors. They recite the Quran, read the sunnah,
contemplate about God's creations without explaining any of it
or making any interpretations. They read it with no modality to Allah,
and without assigning a meaning. They say this is the word of Allah
and we believe what the prophet was sent with. It's the truth and the only truth
and we don't argue with it. This is the approach of the pious predecessors. The second school is
the Hanbali school and people of hadith. They describe (aspects not clear) as characteristics. They say that what came in the Quran and Sunnah is authentic but difficult for us to comprehend, they see it as a characteristic. As an example, the face like the hand, the eye
and like Allah's being and like the sides of the body,
like the fingers, the leg, the foot. These things were all proven to Allah Almighty
in the Quran and sunnah. The Hanbali school and people of hadith say
that these are characteristics of Allah. This is not the approach of the pious
predecessors as some people claim today The pious predecessors never claimed that. Nor did the Prophet PBUH say this. The companions of the prophet didn't say this. the successors of the companions didn't say this. They didn't say that the face, the hand,
or the eye is a characteristic. Never. This is just a general interpretation. That's another school of sunnah. The third movement is the Ashʿarī school. The fourth movement is the Māturīdī school. These are the ones that give interpretation to the Attributes of Allah
or leave the meanings of the words with Allah. They also have other matters that they differed in. Between the Hanbali school
and the Ashʿarī school, there are 24 differences. There're also differences between
the Ashʿarī school and the Māturīdī school. They're also around 24 differences as well. وكلهم من أهل السنة والجماعة؟ - All of them are people of sunnah. As for the meaning of "Jama'ah", it means those
who have given allegiance to the Khalifa. They don't exist nowadays. There's no Jama’ah.
There's only People of Sunnah. There's no Jama’ah now,
but there are many groups. There's a lot of Muslim groups, not just one. If we go back to the days of Umayyad dynasty
when there was a khalifa, there was Khawarij and Shia. There were also people
that controlled specific areas. But there was a Khalifah,
who was followed by the Muslim masses. So, they were called people of Sunnah and Jama'ah In the age of Abbasid caliphate
and the Ottoman empire, they were called people of Sunnah and Jama'ah. Nowadays, we have people of Sunnah. We don't have one Jama’ah (group),
We have lots of Muslim groups من هي الفرقة الناجية؟ - - Being saved doesn't have anything to do with
whether you belong to a group or not. It only has to do with the person. Groups are not resurrected. On the Day of Judgment,
people are resurrected alone. Allah said: "And all of them are coming to Him
on the Day of Resurrection alone." Allah Almighty also said: "On the Day
when every soul will come disputing for itself, and every soul will be fully compensated
for what it did, and they will not be wronged." Allah said: "So when the Horn is blown,
no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another. And those whose scales are heavy
[with good deeds], it is they who are the successful. But those whose scales are light, those are the ones who have lost their souls,
[being] in Hell, abiding eternally. The Fire will sear their faces,
and they therein will have taut smiles." Allah Almighty said: "the sinner's desire will be:
Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day
by (sacrificing) his children, his wife and his brother, his kindred who sheltered him, And all, all that is on earth,
so it could deliver him" Allah says:
"On the Day a man will flee from his brother And his mother and his father And his wife and his children, For every man, that Day,
will be a matter adequate for him." People are not resurrected
with their groups, countries, or ideologies. They are resurrected alone. "And all of them are coming to Him
on the Day of Resurrection alone." Every person is judged alone. If he succeeds...
"Indeed, Allah does not wrong the people at all." This person has made it. If he doesn't succeed,
then it's his actions that have let him down. In the Hadith Qudsi: "O My slaves,
it is but your deeds that I reckon for you and then recompense you for,
so let him who finds good, praise Allah and let him who finds other than that
blame no one but himself." - What about the hadith of the Saved Sect? - The hadith of the Saved Sect has many narrations,
and none of them is correct. There's not a single narration
that is 100% correct. It's corrected with
various Hadith transmissions. Varied Hadith transmissions require
the authenticity of its origin. Not correct parts
or not correct sentences. The hadith came in many narrations. What came in the Hadith stating that
the Jews split into seventy-one sects, and that Christians split into seventy-two sects and that Muslims will split into
seventy-three sects. This part is correct because
it is agreed upon by various narrations. But “All will be in Hell apart from one,
or all of which will be in Heaven apart from one, Or those who follow the prophet
and his companions” or something like that, that's not correct
because there wasn't a single correct narration. We can't correct a narration with what contradicts it. هناك ظاهرة تسمى سياسة الإلغاء حيث إذا فعل شخص ما شيئًا أو قال شيئًا لا يحظى بشعبية أو يتناقض
مع ثقافة رائجة - يتم إلغاء هذا الشخص. فهل هذا مناسب خاصةً عند التعامل مع العلماء الذين يطرحون آراء غير شعبية
أو غير متداولة بين الناس؟ This "Cancel Culture",
it's against the principle of justice. This universe is based on justice
and Allah ordered us to be just. Allah says: "whenever you speak, speak justly" Allah says: "and do not let the hatred of a people
prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness." Allah also says: "Indeed, Allah orders justice
and good conduct and giving to relatives" It is from the principle of justice, that
the bad deeds don't remove the good deeds. The bad deeds can't never remove the good deeds. Indeed, the good deeds remove the bad deeds.
"Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds" But the bad deeds
can't never remove the good deeds. - Subhan Allah. - Allah says: "And We place the scales of justice
for the Day of Resurrection" This goes for everyone,
even Pharaoh, Abu Jahl, or any disbelievers. Everyone holds scale with two pans in his hands The right pan is for the good deeds
and the left pan is for the bad deeds. The good deeds for disbelievers will disappear. They won't exist. Allah says: "And We shall turn to
whatever deeds they did (in this life), and We shall make such deeds
as floating dust scattered about." Allah says: "But those who disbelieved -
their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water
until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing. but finds Allah before Him, and He will pay him
in full his due; and Allah is swift in account." We have not been appointed to
weigh out the deeds of people. And we can't do anything that Allah does.
We're slaves. Malik narrated that... Isa ibn Maryam used to say... “Do not speak much without the mention of Allah
for you will harden your hearts. A hard heart is far from Allah,
but you do not know. Do not look at the wrong actions of people
as if you were lords. Look at your wrong actions
as if you were slaves. Some people are afflicted by wrong action
and some people are protected from it. Be merciful to the people of affliction
and praise Allah for His protection” Whoever would cancel someone when he does wrong,
is also canceling himself. He is not infallible.
He just hides his actions. Everyone is a sinner. The one that doesn't sin
is the protected [The prophet PBUH]. He is the only one in this nation
that doesn't sin. Everyone else does sins. Abu Bakr, Omar, and everyone makes mistakes,
except the Prophet PBUH. Nobody can disagree with him. You can disagree with anyone else
in his thoughts and ideas. كمسلمين يعيشون في بلد غير إسلامي ،
كيف يجب أن تبدو مساهمتنا في المجتمع؟ وماذا عن المشاركة السياسية ، هل هذا شيء مقبول شرعاً؟ Political participation is religiously required,
not religiously accepted. It's your right to express your opinion,
to choose how you want to be ruled, and to choose your ruler. Not doing this means you're a negative person. Negativity is blameworthy. When you don't participate, you'll be neglected
and left for others to control you. They can control your beliefs,
your economy, your health and they can put any laws they want. So, Muslims have to participate
in political matters. حتى وإن كان النظام القائم نظامًا ديموقراطيًا؟ - Yes, even it's a democratic system, they have to participate to achieve good things
and avoid the bad. Allah said: "And whoever does not judge
by what Allah has revealed then it is those who are the disbelievers." Allah also said: "And whoever does not judge
by what Allah has revealed then it is those who are the wrongdoers." And Allah said: "And whoever does not judge
by what Allah has revealed then it is those who are
the defiantly disobedient." But these verses had a different context. It's not a separate rule. There isn't a surah in the Quran that speaks about
those who does not judge by what Allah has revealed and that they are disbelievers. These verses were mentioned in a context. The context was that the Jews replaced the sharia
that was revealed to them with the Torah. And whoever replaces the religion
whether a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian... He is a disbeliever because he replaced
the revelation that was sent down from Allah. He is also a wrongdoer
because Allah's religion is just for all mankind. And he is a disobedient because of this change. This change has three degrees. The first is disbelievers This means replacing the religion of Allah
with a religion of yours. The second is to say... You say that this rule is revealed by Allah. I'm sorry... This is the first degree. The first degree to say that
a rule was revealed by Allah and it wasn't. This is the highest grades of disbelief. The second degree is to come up with a religion
and you say that's better than the religion of Allah. This is the next degree of disbelief. The third degree is to say that
the religion of Allah is correct but you don't follow it
and follow another on purpose. This is against what Allah ordered us. This's what the verses mean. But when it comes to the constitution
in the parliament... Parliaments can't put a religion
or a belief for us. They put laws that handles daily business. For Muslims, these business matters
have to abide the sharia law. For examples, if the parliament permits interest,
it's still not permitted for Muslims. If the parliament permits adultery,
it's still not permitted for Muslims. If the parliament permits alcohol,
it's still not permitted for Muslims. But if the parliament forbids running a red light,
Muslims have to abide by it. But if the parliament forbids running a red light,
Muslims have to abide by it. If the parliament forbids parking
at a certain place, Muslims have to abide by it. If the parliament forbids raising prices, forgery,
changing expiration dates, imitating brands If the parliament forbids raising prices, forgery,
changing expiration dates, imitating brands and whoever does this is liable to a legal penalty,
Muslims have to abide by it. If the parliament permits
setting the wage for a job, whether it's the minimum wage,
maximum wage, anything related to the job, process of promotions or the certificates required for the job... There's no problem with any of these legislations,
and Muslims abide by them. ماذا عن الأعراف الثقافية؟ - تكيف العديد من المسلمين فى الغرب
مع ثقافة المجتمع الذي يعيشون فيه .وهذا يشمل الملابس والعادات والتقاليد ما رأيك بهذا الأمر؟ - Muslims differentiate themselves
with their believes and worship But when it comes to clothes, when the revelation
was sent down to the prophet PBUH in Mecca, the people were polytheists. The prophet and his companions
weren't wearing special clothes. When he went to Madinah, it had Jews, hypocrites,
polytheists, and Muslims, they weren't wearing special clothes. Is this something that we should consider?
Of course not. We should ask if it's permitted or not. For example,
is some kind of clothes permitted or not? Clothes that don't cover
the private parts are not permitted. Clothes made of silk
that come from silkworms are not permitted. Clothes that are worn as a symbol
of a certain religion, like wearing a cross
or clothes that are worn by a monk are not permitted for Muslims to wear. Anything else is fine. Muslims don't have special clothes. You're now wearing something
and I'm wearing something different. I don't have to wear the same thing you wear,
and you don't have to wear the same thing I wear. - These matters were discussed in Islam. Feminism is against all religions, not just Islam. Feminism is against all religions and fitrah. Religions are also against gender fluidity. Allah has created us male and female. Both has special physiological criteria. Both have a role in society, duties, and rights. We can't change them. We can't make the male a female,
and we can't make the female a male. We have to look at what we agree upon. How old is mankind? Mankind's age is the history,
and what's left of this life is very little. We can't change all mankind and make new a one. We can't clone mankind into only white people
or black people, or only males, or only females. We can't make them all beautiful or tall people
more than 2 meters tall. We can't create them with special features. If we control the genetics to do this, this is
changing the creation of Allah and it's haram. And it's not accepted at all. In any culture, Muslim women
must comply to Islam and its teachings, enjoy the right that were given to them by Allah
and not ask to do what Allah has not permitted. Women have rights that Allah has granted them. These rights are known
and have to be delivered to them. It's prohibited to commit injustice toward women. Injustice is one of the biggest things
that were forbidden by sharia. Allah has prohibited injustice for Himself. "O My servants!
I have prohibited injustice for Myself, and made it prohibited to you
between each other. Therefore, do not commit injustice
against each other." Women must not ask for rights
that weren't given to them by religion. Equality in inheritance, jobs, work... These are things women must not ask for. Same thing for men.
They can't ask for women's rights. They can't ask to breastfeed their babies
or do things only women do. That's not possible. رؤية القمر في الغرب هى مشكلة توضح بشكل كبير
.الاختلاف المتواجد في المجتمع الإسلامي هناك بعض المساجد
وحتى أفراد من نفس العائلة .تحتفل بالعيد في أيام مختلفة كيف يمكننا أن نوحد الأمة في هذا الأمر؟ Uniting Muslims is required... particularly in religious practices like fasting,
breaking the fast, and things like that. This also includes prayer time. There are matters that come from Ijtihad
(derived scholarly opinion) and conclusions When it comes to major religious practices, the
people of each country should follow one methodology. Astronomy and astronomical calculations
are fields of science. This field has a lot of scientific facts. There are many scientific theories
that are still under trial. There are also scientific assumptions... that some people believe in
and some people don't. These are not the same. If scientific theories were proven true,
we consider them in our daily matters like we do nowadays with prayer time like the noon prayer, the afternoon prayer,
the evening prayer, the dawn prayer. These are all calculations. What's the difference between prayer and fasting? What's the difference between the calculations
of the sun and the calculations of the moon? There is no difference. They both have
the same rule in Shariah. Hence, using calculations to predict the birth
of the new moon (to predict its appearance) ... .. these calculations can't determine
that a human sighting has happened. The prophet PBUH commented on moon sighting, he said: "Observe Saum (fast) on sighting the crescent
and terminate it on sighting it (the new moon)" Calculations can prove that the crescent
was born, and the possibility of it being seen. Possibilities are different from facts. Calculations can prove the possibilities,
not the facts. The correct opinion in this matter is that
the calculations are used for negation, not affirmation. If the calculations said that
the crescent was not born and someone said that he saw the crescent,
we don't believe him. But if the calculations said that
the crescent was born... that doesn't mean that it has been seen (or can be seen). We have to wait for the crescent to be sighted. That's the basis. If some people consider another opinion
that says that the calculations are absolute, then, that's their Ijtihad (derived opinion) and conclusion. It can be true and can be false. If the people of a country find
themselves with this type of confusion... Imams and scholars meet
and vote about this matter. If they vote for a particular methodology,
they go with it. For example,
calculating the degrees for dawn or dusk. - Ok. - If the majority of imams and scholars
voted for using the astronomical calculations, all the people in this country should follow it. Same thing goes for voting
for not using the astronomical calculations and voting for using the sighting methodology, all the people in the country should follow it. ماذا لو تعادل التصويت؟ - نصف الأئمة يوافق علي استخدام الحسابات الفلكية
والنصف الآخر يوافق على استخدام رؤية القمر ماذا يفعل جموع المسلمين؟ Both of them are following the sunnah. Those who want to go
with astronomical calculations say that they didn't go out to see the crescent
while the clouds are blocking it. The prophet PBUH allowed in a hadith regarding
the times of the Dajjal the use of estimation The prophet told us to do the calculations
when he said "estimate its sighting" Both things are from the Sunnah. These are
accepted (Ijtihad) derived conclusions. - What would Muslims do? - If the majority agreed upon
one of the two opinions, Muslims go with it. - The majority? - If the matter wasn't settled by voting, and they need to do more research or refer to a particular mufti
to settle this matter even if he is from another country,
then, they can refer to him. - May Allah bless and protect you all
and all of our listeners and viewers. May Allah make you firm on the faith and may Allah bless us all with knowing
the right path and sticking to it. We pray to Allah Almighty to bless us all
with strong belief and honest faith and use us to serve this great religion. May the blessings and peace of Allah
be upon our prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companion.
