Dua [The Weapon of The Believer] Part 04 of 04
1 augustus 2012 · 59 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi talks about two topics - the wisdom behind a delayed response and the relationship of Dua with Qadr. Lees meer
Every Dua is responded to and as opposed to what we normally assume.
Some wisdom behind a delayed response are as follows:
Allah is the Malik.
Man does not have a right over his Creator.
A delay in response is a trial.
Allah is the Most Wise.
The matter might bring evil.
Allah’s Choice is better than the choice of the servant.
Man does not know the result of his Dua.
Trials bring one closer to Allah.Dua is the means that one uses to achieve the desired goals that one has, and this means in no way contradicts the destiny that has been written for that person. Divine Decree or Qadr cannot be made as an excuse to not make Dua. Dua is intrinsically related to Qadr so much so that it is a part of Qadr.

Fruits And Benefits of Iman
1 augustus 2012 · 25 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi gives an amazing lecture on the tree of Iman that reaps numerous fruits and benefits. Lees meer
Important fruits and benefits of Iman:
Entry into Paradise (Jannah) - Allah has explicitly conveyed to us the message that Jannah is only for Muslims and not for the Kafir.
Protection from Hell (Jahannam) - whoever passes the bare minimum of Iman, he shall bypass Jahannam.
Good deeds rewarded in Hereafter - this is not the same for the Muslim who was only interested in worldly affairs. He didn't ask for the rewards in the hereafter and hence, his good deeds will be granted in this life only and will be left high and dry in the hereafter.
Forgiveness of sins - having firm Iman is a catalyst to forgive our sins and misdeeds.
Allah will defend us if we ensure we are blessed with a strong interest in Iman.
Fearing nobody except Allah - courage - having Iman blesses us with courage and fortitude that makes us fear no one.
Finding comfort in one's faith (Islam) - faith is synonymous with calming the psyche, battling negativity in our lives in the face of trouble and calamity and the with it comes the comfort of religion and also the belief that there is no soothing mechanism better than this.
A winner in every situation (never a loser in any situation) - when mankind is blessed with good, he thanks Allah and when he is in the face of a calamity, he maintains Sabr and shows perseverance.
Finding a way out in every difficulty .
Raises a person's rank in this world and Hereafter.May Allah keep us steadfast in our goals towards reaffirmation of Faith.

1 augustus 2012 · 1 uur 30 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi begins the lecture with chapter of two of the book, Kitaab At Tawheed,on the topic of Tawheed with regards to the excellence and superiority of Tawheed in that if someone is able to perfect his Tawheed, then all his sins are forgiven. Lees meer
Allah SWT said: "It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and worship none but Him Alone) and confuse not their belief with Zulm (wrong i.e. by worshiping other besides Allah), for them (only) there is security and they are guided ones."
We are acquainted with the concept of Zulm and how avoiding it, perfects our Tawheed.
Anas RA said: He heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ saying: "Allah SWT said: “O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with the world full of sins, and meet Me without making anything partner to Me (Shirk), I would come to you with a similar amount of forgiveness."
This chapter of the book deals with numerous topics that highlight the concept of Tawheed. Of them are:
Abundance of Allah's favour.
Tauhid recompenses sins.
The Hadith narrated by Ubadah bin As-Samit RA and how this Hadith clearly elaborates on the meaning of La ilaha illa Allah .
There are seven earths like seven heavens which are comprised of all kinds of creatures.

Knowing the merits of belief in Paradise and Hell.
Knowledge that Al-Mizan (the Scale) consists of two sides.

Jabir RA narrated that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: "Whoever meets Allah (on the Day of Judgement) not having associated anyone with Him (in worship), shall enter Paradise; and whoever meets Him having committed Shirk in any way will enter the Hell-fire."
Fear of Shirk (polytheism), showing off (Riyaa) being a type of Shirk ,falling into minor Shirk (Riyaa) being more fearful to the righteous and pious people than other matters (because of the ease, on…

The Call to testify that there is nothing deserving of Worship in truth except Allah makes up the beginning of this lecture of Shaykh Yasir Qadhi on the next chapter of the book - Kitab At Tawheed. Lees meer
Ibn Abbas RA narrated: When Allah's Messenger ﷺ sent Mu'adh RA to Yemen, he said, "You will come upon the People of the Book, let your first act be to call them to testify that -There is nothing worthy of worship in truth but Allah."
Numerous pointers to gain from chapter 5 - the need to stress upon sincerity of intention, for many who supposedly call to the truth merely call to themselves, Calling people to Allah with sure knowledge is obligatory, being free of any blasphemy towards Allah, the need to spend Zakat (obligatory charity), the need to beware of the supplication of the oppressed and how it is devoid of any barrier to the supplication of the oppressed one (to be accepted) and many more such topics.
Chapter 6 deals with an explanation of Tawhid and the Testimony: La ilaha illa Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said: "He who professed that there is no God to be worshipped but Allah and made a denial of everything which the people worship besides Allah, his property and blood become inviolable, and his affair rests with Allah."
This chapter deals with concepts related to the meaning of La ilaha ilIa Allah and how it is insufficient to simply understand its evident meaning and words, to acknowledge it, or even to call on none other than Allah, Who is Alone and without partners but also rejects all else that is falsely worshipped besides Allah.
Chapter 7 deals with adopting Shirk via means of a ring, twine or similar items for prevention of Harm or Affliction.
Uqbah bin Amir RA narrated that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Whoever wears talisman or an amulet would never see his wish fulfilled by Allah. And whoever hangs a sea shell would never get peace and rest." In an another version the Prophet ﷺ is reported to have said: "Whoever wears a talisman has committed Shirk (polyth…

Chapter 10 deals with the topic of slaughtering for other than Allah SWT.we are acquainted with an explanation of the verse: "Verily my prayer, my sacrifice..." and of the verse: "Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice to Him only.",the beginning of the principle of cursing from those who sacrifice to other than Allah, the different situations and actions when done in which a person is deemed cursed and much more.
Chapter 11 deals with making no animal sacrifice for Allah in a place where sacrifice is made for other than Allah . here we see that disobedience of Allah leaves impressions on the earth as does obedience, how vows can be specified for a particular place so long as that place is free from anything that would prohibit doing so, how it is prohibited to fulfill the vows in a place where disbelievers had celebrated any of their recurring festivities even it was stopped since a long time and how there…

Any vow based on disobedience (to Allah the Almighty) is impermissible. Lees meer
Chapter 13 elaborates on seeking refuge in other than Allah being a part of Shirk.An explanation of the verse from Surah Al-Jinn is given and how dependence on others to seek refuge is ultimately Shirk itself though one may have gained some worldly benefit from it such as prevention from a harm or evil.
Chapter 14 deals with seeking help in other than Allah (Istighatha) or to invoke other than Him being an act of Shirk. To attach supplication or invocation with seeking assistance (Istighatha) through conjunction and calling others for help besides Allah is of no benefit in this world and it is disbelief (Kufr).
Chapter 15 elaborates on the story of Uhud, the details on the Qunut (supplication) of Allah's Messenger ﷺ in the prayer (against someone) and saying Amin of the Companions RA behind him, the meaning of the statement of Allah: "He turns in mercy to (pardons) them or punishes them" and many more such topics.
Chapter 16 deals with what the Lord has said. Here numerous topics are discussed some of which are related to the explanation of the Verse 34:23 which is a proof for the invalidation of Shirk, and how Jibreel AS is the one who conveys the revelation to wherever Allah commands, the eavesdropping of heavenly discussion by devils, the state of standing of Jinns atop of one another, falling down of shooting stars, affirmation of the Divine Attributes of Allah, the trembling and shaking of the heavens is due to the fear of Allah and that the angels fall down in prostration for Allah.

Jundub reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say five days before he passed away, “I stand acquitted before Allah that I took any one of you as an intimate friend, for Allah has taken me as His intimate friend, just as he took Abraham as His friend.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi provides an in depth analysis of chapters 38, 39, 40 and 41 of the book - Kitaab At Tawheed. Lees meer
Chapter 38 tells us that whoever obeys the Scholars and the Rulers, forbidding what Allah has made permissible and permitting what He has made forbidden, has certainly taken them as Lords (besides Allah). The topics that are addressed here are - pointing out the meaning of worship that was initially denied by Adi RA and how conditions have changed to the point that the worship of monks has become the best of deeds under the name of Al-Wilayah (sainthood), while the worship of learned men in religion is considered knowledge and understanding.
Chapter 39 deals with seeking judgement from anyone other than Allah and His Messenger being an act of hypocrisy.the topics discussed are - explanation of the verse in An-Nisa' (4:60), the verse in Al-Baqarah (2:11),the verse in Al-A’raf (7:56), the verse in Al-Ma'idah (5:50), the difference between true lman, and the false and feigned Belief, the incidence of Umar RA with the Munafiq (hypocrite) and how nobody attains lman (Belief) until his all desires are in accordance with what Allah's Messenger ﷺ came with.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi illustrates explicitly the meaning in the chapters 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 of the book - Kitaab At Tawheed. Lees meer
Chapter 42 deals with explanation of the verse - Allah the Almighty said: "Do not set up rivals (Al-Andad) unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped)." [2:22]. We realise that to swear by other than Allah truthfully (believing such) is a far greater sin than to swear by Allah to a lie and also fathom the difference between the conjunctions 'wa' (and) and 'thumma' (then).
Chapter 43 acquaints us with what is said about the One who is not satisfied with an Oath taken by Allah's Name. It is impermissible to make an oath by forefathers and also find out about what is the punishment for the person who is not satisfied by an oath made by Allah's Name.
Chapter 44 is about - How it is to say "What Allah may will and you ﷺ may will" and a comprehensive explanation is provided for the same.

Chapter 47 deals with the need for respect for the Names of Allah and changing one's name for the sake of that.

We are made aware of how there is a difference between backbiting and admonition, and loyalty to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ and also an understanding of the difference between forgiveness which Allah loves and severity in dealing with the enemies of Allah.
Chapter 49 deals with the issue of how it is to say - "This wealth is the result of my labour and knowledge" and how this is against Tawhid. Verses of the Qur'an are sought to seek clarifications about this grave error we do.

Chapter 50 looks at the issue of every name which leads to the service of other than Allah being prohibited. It implies that any name which implies worship of others than Allah is forbidden.
Chapter 51 reasserts the fact that the most beautiful Names belong to Allah SWT and that we must call Allah by His Names. We are also explicitly instructed to shun the ignorant, evil apostates. We are also made aware of the punishment promised for the person who commits apostasy.
Chapter 52 lays stress on the fact that we should not say As-Salam (Peace and Security) upon Allah. The Shaykh provides the explanation of As-Salam (the peace) and how As-Salam (the peace) is a greeting or salutation. As-Salam is not proper to use for Allah - the reason being Allah Himself is As-Salam (the Peace).
Chapter 53 tells us whether it is alright to say: "O Allah, forgive me if You wish." The Prophet ﷺ said to make the appeal with firm determination,asking whatever you can of Allah - the reason that nothing is too much for, or beyond Him.

We seek refuge with You from the evil of this wind and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it is ordered to do.”

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the most important topic related to the need for the cultivation of ultimate love for the Messenger of Allah and our Noble Prophet (SAW). Lees meer
It was narrated that Abd-Allah ibn Hisham said, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when he was holding the hand of Umar ibn al Khattaab. Umar said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, you are dearer to me than everything except my own self.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “No, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, not until I am dearer to you than your own self.” ‘Umar said to him: “Now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Now (you are a true believer), O Umar.”
One of the ways to love the Prophet ﷺ is to learn about the Prophet (SAW) by studying the Seerah.
Numerous incidents from the Seerah are cited such as from the battle of Uhud,from the Boycott, from the Taif and many more. These stories highlight the noble character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The modesty, the honesty, the generosity and other amazing attributes of the Prophet ﷺ are illustrated using support of various anecdotes and it is truly amazing to listen to these and one is left mesmerised.

The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son."

The Battle of Uhud
1 augustus 2012 · 1 uur 33 min
The lecture delves on one of the biggest battle that took place after Badr - the Battle of Uhud. Shaykh Yasir attempts to elucidate vividly on the battle. Lees meer
The battle of Uhud was a war that was undertaken by the people of Mecca or the Quraysh to avenge Badr. the calamity and loss incurred by them ignited the battle of Uhud as a means of revenge. There were many reasons for this war which included religious, political, economic and social causes.
The Battle of Uhud took place in Shawwal, 3H. The Quraysh set out for Uhud on the 7th of Shawwal, 3 H and reached there in a meagre 7 days. The geography of the mountain of Uhud is explained which is that it is not just one mountain but a whole series of mountains stretching over a mile long situated in the north or northwest of Madinah. The Prophet ﷺ has said "Uhud is a mountain of Jannah".
Why did the Prophet ﷺ go to Uhud? What was the military genius behind this decision? Shaykh Yasir unfolds the answers and we will be truly mesmerised by the reasoning.
Eventually 700 muslims reached Uhud and they set up their camps.
The Battle of Uhud is an excellent illustration of the trust and Iman one should have in Allah. Indeed when we have Allah on our side we can accomplish anything. In spite of being under armoured and lack of enough animals and everything against them, the Muslims under the able leadership of Prophet ﷺ displayed impeccable valour, strength, trust and Iman in Allah and they were rewarded generously .

The Importance of Akhlaq
1 augustus 2012 · 52 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delivers a beautiful lecture on one of the most persistent topics in Islam that needs to be given prime importance and that is the topic of Husnu Akhlaq or good manners. Lees meer
What do u mean by Akhlaq? There are three categories in this regard:
Akhlaq that is shown towards Allah
Akhlaq that is shown towards others
Akhlaq that is shown towards oneself.The Shaykh summarises the 7 simple blessings of Akhlaq in the light of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. They are as follows:
Comprehensive advice on perfection of good manners always, for instance,do not get angry.
The advice given to Muadh Ibn Jabal on maintaining Taqwa and having the best manners side by side.
No blessing is better than good manners. Good manners and long silence should always be advocate for a successful life.
Having good manners is a sign of Iman.
Allah loves those with good Akhlaq and there can be no better substitute for this love.
Akhlaq is the weightiest thing in the Meezan after Iman (Taqwa).
In a Hadith, the Prophet ﷺ has promised the person who shows impeccable akhlaq, the most proximity to him on the Day of Judgement.The main audience of the akhlaq is always one’s own family and hence it is binding upon us to show the most excellent example of Akhlaq amongst your loved ones.

The Man of Two Gardens
1 augustus 2012 · 1 uur 22 min
Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi discusses the story of the man with the two gardens which is mentioned in Surah Kahf. Through this story, Allah gives us the parable of this world with the Akhirah. The story gives us the lesson that the ultimate world is the hereafter. Lees meer
This story is about the fitnah of the pleasures of this world which caused the man with two gardens to be arrogant and undeterred by the presence of the actual Jannah in the Hereafter. The man falsely believed that all his wealth was his effort and good luck and that he was better than his friend.
Allah says that his arrogance and delusion is what brought him down and the destruction of the garden is the ultimate proof of that. Because of his belief that his wealth would remain in continuity, he remained ignorant and so involved in this world that he made the mistake of even assuming that he would get even something better in the actual Jannah too since Allah has been happy with him.
But he is humbled by his friend who reminds him of the feebleness of this creation and how temporary it is. He also admonishes him for indulging in Shirk by taking credit for his garden. Rather it was Allah alone who could give the creation whatever he chose to give.

The Piece of The Puzzle
1 augustus 2012 · 55 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi implores upon us through this lecture to stand strong in the times of fitnah and with the help of Sabr, to glide through the difficult times and do not lose Iman. We are reasserted with the fact to be firm on the straight path and to remember that one enters Jannah only after encountering Fitnah. Lees meer
The concept of fitnah is entirely dependent on the concept of shariah. Without one, the other cannot thrive. We maintain the principles of Shariah always, then Fitnah will die a natural death and vice versa. For this to materialize, we need to make Dua, remain firm in religion, perform good deeds, learn and teach the religion and most importantly, exercise patience from the beginning till the end of Fitnah.
Numerous hadiths have been told to make us understand the concept of Fitnah completely and also in the Qur'an,Surah Asr summarises the fitnah concept most appropriately.
Anas ibn Malik RA said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The people will see a time of patience in which someone adhering to his religion will be as if he were grasping a hot coal.”
We should change individually to change the Muslim ummah collectively. We are a part of the bigger puzzle and we can and should bring about the revolution of change in the community.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves deeper into the reason behind the slander of Aisha RA which was the need for revenge by the hypocrites after Allah had exposed them in Surah Munafiqun. Abdullah ibn Ubayy capitalised on the opportunity the minute he saw it and sought to get even through Aisha RA. Lees meer
Three sahabah made it even more difficult as they were prime factors in the spreading of this disgusting rumour and they were -Mistah (Aisha's RA second cousin), Hamala bint Jahsh, Hasani bint Thabit.
Testimony is sought from Ali RA and Usama bin Zaid RA by the Prophet ﷺ and each of them suggest the Messenger of Allah what they think. Then the help of Bareerah, the maid servant of Aisha RA is called for in citing details on the matter that transpired that night.
The end to these false rumours and the horrendous slander of Aisha RA came in the form of Allah’s intervention through verses and revelation to the Prophet ﷺ. The first section of Surah Nur is a firm declaration on the punishment that shall be meted out for slandering.
This story reasserts the honorable and high stature of Aisha RA. She is the mother of the believers and is pure, the daughter of the pure, and she is the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. Her purity and dignity has been verified by Allah SWT and one who does not uphold this is not from among the Muslims.

In 6H, the Prophet ﷺ dreamt that he and his followers were entering Makkah and performing Tawaf. Hence, he declared his plan to visit Makkah to perform Umrah. In order to avoid confrontation of any sort, the Prophet ﷺ changed the route of Taneem to a lesser-known place called Hudaibiyah. The Makkans sent Urwah bin Mas'ud to negotiate with the Prophet ﷺ, in their bid to stop him from entering Makkah. The Prophet ﷺ later sent Uthman bin Affan RA who had good contacts in Makkah for a counter negotiation. But they captured him and spread a rumor that Uthman has been killed.
The people rushed to take an oath of allegiance on the calling of the Prophet ﷺ and within a short span of time, news reached Makkah that 1400 volunteers were ready to fight the Makkans. This scared the Makkans so much so that they agreed to discuss terms of peace with him.They also released Uthman and sent Suhayl bin Amr Al-Thaqafi to negotiate the terms of peace with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The following were the terms of the Treaty called the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah:
In the name of Almighty Allah.
These are the conditions of peace between Muhammad, son of Abdullah, and Suhayl Ibn Amr the envoy of Makkah:
There will be an armistice between the two parties and no fighting for the next 10 years.
Any person or tribe who wishes to join Muhammad and to enter into any agreement with him is free to do so. Likewise any person or tribe who wishes to join the Quraysh and to enter into any agreement with them is free to do so.
