00:00:00.000 I might see her and she'll say, you wronged me. You said something about me that wasn't true.
00:00:04.340 And if she doesn't forgive me, I'm going to give whatever good it is, if I have, to her.
00:00:13.480 Woman wasn't allowed in a nightclub after refusing to remove her hijab. 1.00
00:00:17.600 Now, when you read that statement, it sounds shocking.
00:00:20.640 As a Muslim, man or a woman, be it a brother or sister, whoever it may be,
00:00:24.340 when you hear these things, or if it was a headline of a Muslim man caught drinking alcohol in a nightclub,
00:00:30.320 whatever it may be, it obviously hurts a Muslim. 0.52
00:00:33.160 Why does it hurt us? Because we love for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves.
00:00:37.140 So when we see our brothers and sisters falling short, like myself, I fall short in a lot of things,
00:00:42.040 we hate it in our hearts. Why? Because the Prophet said, if you see an evil, try to stop it.
00:00:47.560 If you can't stop it with your hands, stop it with your tongue.
00:00:49.560 If you can't speak out against it, at least hate it in your heart.
00:00:51.840 That's the reason we hate it, not because we dislike the person.
00:00:55.440 However, sometimes, personally myself, which the reason why I'm doing this video,
00:01:00.360 is that sometimes we fall short.
00:01:02.940 Sometimes we make mistakes, and we are human beings.
00:01:05.640 And that is exactly what this video is going to be about.
00:01:08.100 It's going to be about my public repentance.
00:01:10.400 Yes, I'm publicly retracting what I said about our dear sister,
00:01:16.080 and also I'll be publicly repenting,
00:01:18.680 and I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to forgive me for myself sharing the information
00:01:24.560 from a unreliable source, jumping on the bandwagon unintentionally,
00:01:30.820 because of, you can just call it whatever you like, just rash, you know, just being rash,
00:01:35.840 and sharing this information without verifying it with our sister herself.
00:01:39.840 I tried to get in contact with her through Facebook, and asked for her to forgive me for doing so.
00:01:45.180 And hopefully, when she was talking about the haram police, I wasn't one of those.
00:01:48.120 I don't feel like I did myself as one.
00:01:50.680 Now, what I found really beautiful is it reminded me of a verse,
00:01:53.820 chapter 49, verse 6.
00:01:55.980 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says something, which I looked at this verse, and I said,
00:01:59.400 Ali, that's you.
00:02:01.120 Allah says in the Quran,
00:02:01.760 If a sinful person brings you a report, verify its correctness,
00:02:07.120 lest you should harm a people out of ignorance,
00:02:10.480 and then become remorseful on what you did.
00:02:13.920 Brothers and sisters, if this is not to me, I do not know who it is.
00:02:17.320 I am a public figure.
00:02:18.880 I should be careful to what I do.
00:02:20.780 I should not just go out there haphazardly and say things.
00:02:23.460 Yes?
00:02:23.960 And that's why I repent publicly.
00:02:26.720 Why?
00:02:26.920 Because the sin that I done, that I did, was publicly.
00:02:32.100 And that's one of the things that we try to advise our different YouTubers on the Muslim scene.
00:02:36.600 So you see, people think that we just have a go at other people for no reason.
00:02:39.880 We don't.
00:02:40.540 Look, the last thing I want to do is take time at my, you know, I'm busy working,
00:02:44.580 a lot of things, to go and just look for people's fault.
00:02:46.660 I don't do that.
00:02:47.240 I try my best to assume the best and try to privately advise.
00:02:50.920 But when certain people sin in public,
00:02:52.880 we have to advise and refute their misguidance in public.
00:02:58.620 Now myself, I am one of those.
00:03:00.920 I'm refuting myself.
00:03:02.300 I did this sin in public.
00:03:03.860 And it requires a public retractment.
00:03:06.860 Not only that, it requires a public repentance.
00:03:11.020 And that's the reason why I'm doing this video.
00:03:12.760 Because I spread an information which was false about our sister.
00:03:17.780 Now I came to know that, okay, it wasn't a nightclub, it was a pub.
00:03:22.280 Regardless, nightclub and pub are two separate things.
00:03:24.620 Yeah?
00:03:25.060 They're two separate things.
00:03:26.080 You can go to a pub.
00:03:27.520 No, it's not allowed to go to a pub.
00:03:28.800 I'm just saying that if you do, you know, there's an alcohol section.
00:03:31.220 Some you go to, it's like a hotel, the pub is there.
00:03:33.660 So it's a whole different story.
00:03:35.140 And we have to assume the best in our sister.
00:03:39.580 And that's a reminder to myself.
00:03:41.020 First, I caused harm and unremorseful, like the Quran says in chapter 49, verse 6.
00:03:46.380 And I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, forgive me. 0.54
00:03:48.380 And brothers and sisters, I want to make something very clear.
00:03:51.580 That when it comes to these things, do not be those among people who try to look for other people's faults.
00:03:58.780 I do not go and like, I've got nothing better to do.
00:04:01.240 I'll be like, oh my gosh, let me go on the internet and let me search what I can find today.
00:04:05.680 These videos take time.
00:04:07.720 I finished work.
00:04:08.560 I should be home now.
00:04:09.960 But with these kind of videos, sometimes we have to come out and do it.
00:04:12.860 I'm just talking about general in other things as well.
00:04:16.380 So do not see this as some kind of like, oh, well, I'm bored.
00:04:19.460 And you know, some people come and say, oh, why do you have to react to everything?
00:04:21.980 I'm just bored, brother.
00:04:23.060 I'm just, well, I've got nothing better to do.
00:04:26.020 I'm just like, you know what?
00:04:26.940 Let me just react for the sake of it.
00:04:29.100 Brothers and sisters, we do these.
00:04:30.400 Why?
00:04:30.820 Because I thought if there are sisters out there who may have, and I thought she actually did this.
00:04:36.180 She hasn't.
00:04:37.260 That they fall into this just to give them an Asiyah. 0.89
00:04:40.500 And say, look, you know, you have a religious garment, etc.
00:04:43.140 Try to abstain from these kind of places.
00:04:45.100 Because why?
00:04:46.300 Firstly, it's haram, etc.
00:04:48.240 And don't get confused.
00:04:49.300 There's a lot of sisters that do go, you know, sadly in their Islamic attire. 1.00
00:04:54.460 But, you know, they go in that Islamic attire.
00:04:56.620 So it's really, really important for us to advise one another.
00:04:59.820 The Prophet said, the deen is nasiyah. 0.93
00:05:02.200 We only do it.
00:05:03.280 Why?
00:05:03.660 Because we want good for each other.
00:05:04.960 Your friend is not the one who pats you on the back at every haram that you do.
00:05:08.620 Says, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
00:05:09.820 You go, girl.
00:05:10.820 Yeah, do whatever you like.
00:05:12.300 Sorry.
00:05:13.220 This is not your friend.
00:05:14.380 This is your biggest enemy.
00:05:15.940 A friend is that, the one who advises you.
00:05:19.540 So, inshallah, I make this clear.
00:05:22.120 I ask the sisters forgiveness.
00:05:23.280 If you can share this video with her.
00:05:25.060 I genuinely ask for her forgiveness because it was wrong.
00:05:27.580 It was false information about her.
00:05:28.880 If that was done towards my sister, I'll be very upset.
00:05:31.760 And they have a right to be upset.
00:05:32.740 And I ask them to forgive me because it reminds me that on the day of judgment,
00:05:37.980 and this was a reminder that was sent to me,
00:05:39.500 that it was showing different journeys that we're going to take.
00:05:41.740 And after we've crossed the Sirat, where hellfire is going to be beneath us,
00:05:45.740 once we go past there, we're going to be thinking,
00:05:47.800 ah, great, if I've made it from here, I'm going to Jannah.
00:05:50.600 Well, there's going to be a part between the Sirat and Jannah
00:05:53.980 where you are going to be accounted for the wrong that you did to others.
00:05:58.880 And subhanallah, you are going to imagine that.
00:06:01.820 This is a very, very powerful problem, sisters.
00:06:03.400 If you have wronged other people, yeah,
00:06:05.840 intentionally taken their money,
00:06:07.800 gone against their rights,
00:06:09.160 oppressed them,
00:06:10.380 whatever it may be, yeah,
00:06:12.500 you are going to be questioned there.
00:06:14.960 And do you know how it's going to work?
00:06:16.580 That person that you wronged is going to be in front of you.
00:06:19.080 And they're going to say,
00:06:20.100 this person violated this and this and this right of mine.
00:06:23.180 Yeah?
00:06:23.860 So, if this sister doesn't forgive me,
00:06:26.440 I might see her after,
00:06:28.200 may Allah allow us to enter paradise and her and her whole family,
00:06:30.960 I might see her and she'll say,
00:06:31.860 you wronged me.
00:06:32.740 You said something about me that wasn't true.
00:06:35.120 And if she doesn't forgive me,
00:06:36.460 I'm going to give whatever goodies,
00:06:38.700 if I have,
00:06:40.020 to her, yeah?
00:06:41.240 So whatever,
00:06:41.840 like let's say,
00:06:42.320 I don't know whatever goodies I have,
00:06:43.220 I'm going to have to give something to her.
00:06:45.500 Now,
00:06:46.100 if I don't have any good deeds at all,
00:06:49.200 guess what?
00:06:50.280 I'm going to take,
00:06:52.180 I'm going to take her sins on my,
00:06:56.900 on my portion,
00:07:00.060 yeah,
00:07:00.360 of my bad deeds.
00:07:01.380 So if I have good deeds,
00:07:02.920 I'm going to be giving that to her,
00:07:04.660 some,
00:07:05.320 whoever is due to her based on her rights.
00:07:07.760 If not,
00:07:09.340 I have no deeds,
00:07:10.580 I will be taking her bad deeds of her, 0.99
00:07:13.060 yeah,
00:07:13.180 and taking the burden of her bad deeds.
00:07:15.980 Brothers and sisters,
00:07:17.340 and some may come and say,
00:07:19.000 okay,
00:07:19.240 hold on a second,
00:07:19.920 I thought Allah says in the Quran,
00:07:20.840 nobody carries the burden of another.
00:07:22.320 Well,
00:07:22.520 it doesn't,
00:07:23.120 but I'm not carrying her burden,
00:07:24.560 I'm carrying the burden that I cause to myself,
00:07:26.760 by talking about her,
00:07:28.000 and oppressing her.
00:07:29.200 So,
00:07:29.800 it's very important,
00:07:30.820 brothers and sisters,
00:07:31.340 for us to understand,
00:07:32.460 because people that you wrong,
00:07:33.860 slander,
00:07:34.320 backbite, 0.95
00:07:35.340 take all kinds of stuff from them, 0.56
00:07:37.600 oppress them,
00:07:38.940 you're going to be in trouble.
00:07:41.200 So I hope this is a lesson,
00:07:43.180 for myself,
00:07:44.780 for publicly refuting my own self,
00:07:46.860 and for us to be careful and verify information,
00:07:49.840 and thirdly,
00:07:50.860 thirdly to understand,
00:07:52.420 that there's going to be consequences,
00:07:53.620 every single person that you wrong,
00:07:56.360 is going to get their right from you.
00:07:57.880 We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to forgive us,
00:07:59.740 and the way of repenting,
00:08:01.520 brothers and sisters,
00:08:02.120 is number one,
00:08:03.100 you stop the sin,
00:08:04.060 you hate the sin,
00:08:04.660 you don't go back to the sin,
00:08:06.180 that's if you've wronged against Allah,
00:08:07.640 you've done a sin,
00:08:08.340 generally.
00:08:09.060 If you've wronged the person,
00:08:10.040 you have to ask their forgiveness.
00:08:11.920 That's the reason why I'm asking the sister's forgiveness,
00:08:13.520 and I ask her to forgive me,
00:08:15.780 and I will be very,
00:08:17.160 very careful in what I'm sharing in the future.
00:08:20.180 May Allah bless you guys,
00:08:21.520 and I will really appreciate if this sister can forgive me,
00:08:24.180 and just some kind of communication via her brother,
00:08:26.900 whoever,
00:08:27.180 just saying that she's forgiven me,
00:08:28.780 and I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to forgive me,
00:08:30.340 and to teach me a lesson through this,
00:08:32.320 that we do not fall amongst those that Allah says,
00:08:34.740 that we don't verify information from an evil source like mirror,
00:08:39.560 or whatever it's called.
00:08:40.780 Brothers and sisters,
00:08:41.360 may Allah bless you guys,
00:08:42.020 hope you guys have benefited from this,
00:08:43.040 do share this with your friends and family.
00:08:44.480 Till next time,
00:08:45.340 Asalaamu Alaikum,
00:08:46.320 Wa Rahmatu Laayi Barakaitu.
