Brother Sajid released a video in which he accused me of being a hypocrite. In this video, he also said that I cannot be corrected in public. In fact, I have never said that in my entire life. I have only corrected him in private and in private to the best of my ability. But why does he not allow me to correct him in public?
00:11:45.100And I hope he doesn't have a go at Fareed for this and starts having an issue with him because of me showing these messages.
00:11:52.920You guys can see from my messages, guys, and the audio notes that I played, yeah, that I wanted nothing but to avert, to stop this fitna from going public.
00:12:27.340My family is very, very hostile to Islam.
00:12:29.620A lot of my family members are actually enemies of Islam, yeah?
00:12:32.000And they outright insult Allah and his messenger, yeah?
00:12:34.540So the thing is, when I first came to Islam, the brotherhood was something that also caught my attention, yes?
00:12:40.300You need to understand, when I am dealing with enemies of Islam outside, or we are, or my person, I'm talking about myself, we already deal with it in our houses.
00:12:53.780Because you're dealing with this, hearing it in the house.
00:12:55.640You go and do Dawah, you hear it from there.
00:12:57.660You go and speak Islam, and you hear people insulting the message of Allah.
00:13:00.220Do you know how much control it requires for us to, you know, hold ourselves back when that is happening?
00:13:09.000And then we have people that we see as brothers.
00:13:12.420Muhammad Ijab, Fareed, Hashim, Mansur, and many other people that we see are dear to us as brothers that we trust and we turn to.
00:13:21.400The point is this, Sajid was another person that I genuinely, genuinely saw him as that.
00:13:27.800If Fareed done a video just like what Sajid done, I would have been as hurt, or Mansur, or Hamza Zorses, or Adnan Rashid, whoever that may be.
00:13:36.600The reason these brothers all came to me in private and not public shows us something.
00:13:41.360One of these, well, shall I say it here, either Sajid or 10 plus members who advise me privately lack hikmah.
00:13:47.860I'm going to go with Sajid that lacks hikmah, not these brothers, because they could have gone and do that in public.
00:13:54.600Sajid is claiming that these people are scared of me.
00:14:08.180So, the reason these brothers didn't come publicly is, number one, I didn't, there was no shubahat, number one, thrown out there, like, that I couldn't answer.
00:14:19.280And I didn't do, and all I did was something cringe.
00:14:22.160Okay, we are dealing with an enemy of Islam.
00:14:25.820And brothers and sisters, just imagine for a second, put yourself in my shoe.
00:14:43.080You get into some kind of a dispute with an enemy of Islam.
00:14:46.520He not only come and attacks you, yeah, let's suppose you did something wrong, but it was genuinely for the sake of Allah, you angered towards that enemy of Islam, that you did something.
00:16:30.560So, what that means is, that I myself believe that nobody can correct me, I have no mistakes, I have no flaws, I have no sins.
00:16:39.020That I am the perfect being, I am the greatest, die or whatever you want to call me, out there, and nobody can correct me.
00:16:47.100Please, I request anybody to find a single statement, or a single way I have ever conducted myself, that I have said, you are not allowed to criticise me.
00:16:59.180I am going to go to now, Ibn Taymiyyah.
00:17:01.360And, we are going to learn from Ibn Taymiyyah, when it comes to enjoying the good and forbidding evil, what are the things that is required in order for it to be executed properly.
00:17:11.260Because, Ibn Taymiyyah talks about this.
00:17:12.780One thing that I was really surprised, is that Sajid, is somebody who studied at Medina University.
00:17:18.440And when I asked him about this, I asked him about the conditions of enjoying the good and forbidding evil, he didn't want to answer.
00:17:25.360Rather, he would go down the road of actually questioning my psychological well-being, mental well-being.
00:17:34.080I mean, he did this with Hijab as well.
00:17:35.760That my psychological well-being was in question.
00:17:37.760When I would ask simple questions, when I would bring evidence to certain matters that he criticised me on, for some reason he would always avoid it and always criticise me.
00:17:46.500That, for some reason, I don't know and he knows.
00:17:51.140Let's see what Ibn Taymiyyah says about what conditions we should have when it comes to enjoying the good and forbidding evil.
00:17:57.040So, then we can have a clearer picture that does the condition that everyone that does something public in the public scene, does that mean they need to be refuted in public?
00:18:16.200The truth is sometimes heavy for some people to accept.
00:18:21.020Don't make it harder with your bad adam and akhlaq.
00:18:24.640If I am going to go and stop somebody from drinking alcohol, if I see somebody drinking alcohol, if I know me going there, that that individual will take a knife and try to stab me or a few other people, it is best that you don't do that action, because the harms outweigh the good.
00:18:42.160So, the action that you're going to do of enjoying good and forbidding the evil will become impermissible for you.
00:18:48.620Thus, whenever the adverse effects, the mafsada, of any of the enjoining or forbidding are greater than its benefits, the maslaha, it is no longer part of what Allah has enjoined upon us.
00:19:16.400Even if it be a case of neglecting obligations or committing the forbidden,
00:19:23.940Even if it is a case of neglecting obligations or committing the forbidden,
00:19:30.100this is because it is upon the believer to fear Allah in relation to his slaves, and the guidance is not his responsibility.
00:19:36.400This is part of the meaning of the verse which Allah says,
00:19:38.900O you who believe, yourselves are your responsibility.
00:19:42.940Those who go astray will not harm you when you stick to guidance.
00:19:46.000Now, the second group desires to enjoin and forbid the people with their tongues and their hands absolutely and all situations without sufficient knowledge of the sharia.
00:19:55.660No forbearance, no patience, no regard for that which is beneficial and that which has more harm than benefit,
00:20:01.740and that which is possible and that which is not possible.
00:20:06.520This group then enjoins and forbids believing that they are in obedience to Allah Ta'ala when in reality they are the transgressors of his boundaries.
00:20:14.840In this way, many of the deviance and misguided groups consider themselves to be enjoiners of right and forbidders of wrong,
00:20:20.220such as the Khawarij and the Mu'tazilah and the Rafidah Shia and others of those who erred in understanding that which Allah gave them in terms of enjoining right and forbidding wrong,
