00:00:00.000 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
00:00:01.480 يا أيها الذين آمنوا
00:00:02.940 طوبوا إلى الله
00:00:03.820 توبتا نسوحا
00:00:04.980 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
00:00:07.340 respected brothers and sisters
00:00:09.560 in light of recent activity
00:00:11.840 in relation to myself
00:00:13.920 and what has been
00:00:14.880 what is out there
00:00:16.200 it is necessary
00:00:17.960 that I publicly make a توبة
00:00:20.760 and رجوء to Allah
00:00:21.780 I publicly
00:00:24.640 ask Allah
00:00:26.000 to forgive me
00:00:28.280 I sincerely ask Allah Almighty
00:00:29.980 that He forgives me for my sins
00:00:31.700 be them those that I've done in public
00:00:34.280 and those that I did in private
00:00:35.720 at the same time
00:00:37.320 I would also appeal and ask
00:00:39.900 those whom I have wronged
00:00:42.120 or who I have violated their rights
00:00:43.940 that they also forgive me
00:00:45.720 and find a place in their heart
00:00:47.020 to forgive me and pardon me
00:00:49.960 for the wrongs that I've done to them
00:00:51.720 finally I have decided
00:00:54.260 that I will be retreating
00:00:56.420 from my responsibilities
00:00:58.080 and duties
00:00:58.880 in the public domain
00:01:00.620 and inshallah
00:01:02.280 I intend
00:01:03.200 to go away
00:01:04.500 and study the deen more
00:01:05.640 and to
00:01:06.820 rebuild my connection
00:01:08.420 with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:01:09.760 and that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:01:11.700 enables me to seek knowledge
00:01:13.140 and that He grants me
00:01:14.440 the power of knowledge
00:01:15.200 wisdom and spirituality
00:01:16.280 I make a dua to Allah
00:01:18.200 that He forgives me
00:01:20.360 once again
00:01:20.940 and that you also
00:01:22.400 people have a place
00:01:23.760 in your heart
00:01:24.280 to forgive me
00:01:25.920 and I leave my matter
00:01:30.020 with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:01:31.180 wassalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
00:01:33.560 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
00:01:39.100 brothers and sisters
00:01:39.800 and dear friends
00:01:40.520 before I start
00:01:41.860 I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:01:42.880 the most merciful
00:01:43.440 the most just
00:01:44.020 or praise the glory
00:01:45.040 and gratitude
00:01:45.380 belong to Him
00:01:45.980 Sheikh
00:01:47.040 so basically
00:01:47.540 I don't know recently
00:01:48.520 if you've heard about
00:01:49.220 Imam Asim
00:01:51.900 who's known
00:01:52.960 in his community
00:01:54.460 from the Brelvi sect
00:01:56.020 and I'm not using that
00:01:57.080 as an insult
00:01:57.540 it's just
00:01:58.240 describing his ascription
00:02:00.460 yeah
00:02:00.860 so basically
00:02:01.500 he's come out
00:02:04.360 after having many meetings
00:02:05.840 with other big scholars
00:02:08.700 you can say
00:02:09.140 from their sect
00:02:10.680 and he's come out
00:02:11.980 and has done a repentance video
00:02:13.860 where there's some
00:02:15.100 I don't know if you can call it
00:02:16.740 accusations anymore
00:02:17.420 because it's been affirmed
00:02:18.140 and he himself has said
00:02:18.920 that he's slipped up
00:02:19.860 and he's going to take a back seat
00:02:21.180 and you know
00:02:22.640 recently we did a video
00:02:23.500 but this was actually
00:02:24.480 a nasheed artist
00:02:25.080 not a person of knowledge
00:02:26.500 no
00:02:26.760 now
00:02:28.000 obviously we know
00:02:28.980 we have our differences
00:02:29.520 with them
00:02:29.840 no of course
00:02:30.540 great great differences
00:02:31.240 of course
00:02:31.660 of course
00:02:32.080 now some
00:02:32.700 fundamental
00:02:33.100 we can't you know
00:02:34.100 undermine these differences
00:02:35.940 they are fundamental
00:02:36.480 we can't downplay them
00:02:37.460 exactly fundamental differences
00:02:38.520 now some people
00:02:39.520 would have this attitude
00:02:40.380 I'm saying some people
00:02:42.160 you know
00:02:42.940 ha ha ha
00:02:43.840 look at these Brelvies
00:02:44.900 you know
00:02:45.220 they go and flirt with girls
00:02:46.720 and they do this
00:02:48.080 and do that
00:02:48.480 ha ha
00:02:48.780 they got caught out
00:02:50.300 yeah
00:02:50.480 and now some
00:02:51.620 some of our viewers
00:02:52.420 that are watching this
00:02:52.960 might actually be thinking
00:02:53.980 that we are actually
00:02:55.140 using this
00:02:55.900 to score points
00:02:56.800 and be like
00:02:57.080 ha you see
00:02:57.660 we are not like that
00:02:59.380 this video is actually not
00:03:00.520 it's actually the polar opposite
00:03:02.080 we're not
00:03:02.820 you know
00:03:03.500 we're not taking
00:03:04.580 the moral high ground
00:03:05.480 brothers and sisters
00:03:05.980 it's very important
00:03:06.540 that we mention that
00:03:07.160 a lot of people think
00:03:08.200 you know
00:03:08.480 they'll try to self-justify
00:03:10.500 the actions that they do
00:03:11.940 by downgrading
00:03:13.340 and degrading others
00:03:14.720 and sadly
00:03:15.440 they would even try
00:03:16.320 to prove their manhaj
00:03:17.460 by degrading somebody
00:03:18.560 you cannot prove
00:03:21.040 your akhida
00:03:21.400 but if they fall into it
00:03:22.280 it's on the right manhaj
00:03:23.320 exactly
00:03:23.700 on the right manhaj
00:03:24.440 brothers it's okay
00:03:25.200 it's the definition
00:03:26.060 for irja
00:03:26.460 so I just wanted to do
00:03:27.520 this very brief video
00:03:28.600 inshallah
00:03:28.980 with a reminder from you
00:03:30.180 Ameen inshallah
00:03:30.820 that it's very important
00:03:33.000 because we're not here
00:03:33.580 to do that actually
00:03:34.280 and we're here to remind
00:03:35.820 those who are watching
00:03:36.940 inshallah
00:03:37.320 to not ever look down
00:03:39.360 upon
00:03:40.160 and what he has done
00:03:41.240 we don't know in detail
00:03:42.020 it's wrong
00:03:42.780 he's repented
00:03:43.480 and we're not here
00:03:44.340 to defend him
00:03:44.900 we're not here
00:03:45.240 to defend him at all
00:03:45.900 we're just here
00:03:46.760 to talk about
00:03:47.880 someone is caught up
00:03:50.120 whoever it may be
00:03:50.560 I mean look
00:03:51.040 you can summarize this
00:03:52.100 by mentioning the hadith
00:03:53.120 al-Ghamidiyah
00:03:53.800 now al-Ghamidiyah
00:03:54.620 was a woman
00:03:55.620 in the time of
00:03:56.820 al-Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:03:58.740 of her guilt
00:03:59.880 of committing zina
00:04:00.560 is this the one
00:04:01.280 the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:04:01.840 turned around
00:04:02.340 two or three times
00:04:03.060 or is this
00:04:04.040 that was
00:04:04.480 no
00:04:06.580 it's not
00:04:07.340 it happened about three
00:04:09.460 there's roughly three cases
00:04:10.360 oh okay
00:04:11.000 yeah
00:04:11.420 and
00:04:11.840 what happened was
00:04:13.560 after she made tawbah
00:04:14.440 a lot of people
00:04:14.920 some of her sahaba
00:04:15.860 were talking quite ill of her
00:04:17.380 and
00:04:18.640 and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:04:20.580 mentioned a hadith
00:04:21.380 in which
00:04:22.460 he said
00:04:24.360 the tawbah
00:04:27.280 the repentance
00:04:27.700 that she made to Allah
00:04:28.400 subhanahu wa sallam
00:04:28.980 was so sincere
00:04:30.060 if it was to be
00:04:32.780 divided amongst the people
00:04:34.180 of Medina
00:04:34.740 subhanahu alayhi wa sallam
00:04:36.680 subhanahu alayhi wa sallam
00:04:37.680 and subhanahu alayhi wa sallam
00:04:39.280 he mentioned that
00:04:40.040 she literally
00:04:40.860 is there a tawbah
00:04:45.420 a repentance
00:04:45.980 that is better
00:04:46.840 than the fact
00:04:47.300 that she turned
00:04:47.860 willingly to Allah
00:04:48.700 subhanahu alayhi wa sallam
00:04:48.960 so she willingly wanted that
00:04:50.140 she willingly
00:04:50.440 accepted it
00:04:51.480 and admitted it
00:04:52.240 you know guys
00:04:53.820 we need to understand
00:04:54.480 subhanallah
00:04:54.940 none of us are perfect
00:04:56.720 every single one of us
00:04:57.500 commit sin
00:04:57.940 subhanallah
00:04:58.360 but the truthful is
00:05:00.060 in the sight of Allah
00:05:00.780 subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:05:01.420 how sincere
00:05:03.160 was our tawbah
00:05:04.000 that's what matters
00:05:05.220 how sincere was our tawbah
00:05:06.220 Allah jallu'a'lsa
00:05:07.220 ya ayuhal ladhina aminu
00:05:08.300 tuubu illahi
00:05:09.240 tawbah tanna suha
00:05:10.220 Allah is instructing
00:05:11.280 oh you have iman
00:05:12.240 turn back to Allah
00:05:13.300 in sincere
00:05:14.700 repentance
00:05:15.220 not only that
00:05:16.320 but it's been mentioned
00:05:16.940 that Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:05:18.120 said
00:05:18.360 some have the care
00:05:18.920 the hadith ta'if
00:05:19.500 and others say
00:05:20.540 it's as
00:05:20.940 sayings of others
00:05:22.140 but this was something
00:05:23.420 you find in
00:05:23.880 throughout the books
00:05:25.020 of the salaf
00:05:25.500 and this is the laf
00:05:27.360 of the Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:05:28.600 ascribed to him
00:05:29.700 whomsoever
00:05:32.220 looks down on their brother
00:05:33.660 and says
00:05:34.460 oh look
00:05:34.800 he did this sin
00:05:35.680 he would not die
00:05:38.220 until he does the same sin
00:05:41.040 he will not die
00:05:42.420 until he does the same sin
00:05:43.440 and subhanallah
00:05:44.540 you know what
00:05:44.940 I've actually seen this
00:05:45.840 I've seen brothers
00:05:46.980 subhanallah
00:05:47.580 they take the moral high ground
00:05:48.960 the religious high ground
00:05:50.460 and they're like
00:05:51.600 oh look at so and so
00:05:52.600 they mention the sins
00:05:53.600 of brothers and sisters
00:05:54.420 and they start laughing
00:05:55.460 and subhanallah
00:05:57.060 they do exactly
00:05:57.880 one sooner or later
00:05:59.780 they will do the same thing
00:06:00.720 exactly
00:06:01.160 it's reminding
00:06:01.860 also
00:06:02.260 this brother
00:06:04.600 who's
00:06:04.940 fallen to the sin
00:06:07.560 his repentance
00:06:08.720 might be more beloved
00:06:09.660 to Allah
00:06:10.180 than
00:06:11.060 your actions
00:06:12.160 or whatever you may do
00:06:13.040 you never know
00:06:13.480 you get it
00:06:13.800 your arrogant way
00:06:14.520 of looking in the matter
00:06:15.260 and it's not a joke
00:06:16.640 it's not a joke matter
00:06:17.320 where we look down on each other
00:06:18.360 and laugh at the matter
00:06:19.120 if I'm not mistaken
00:06:20.200 there's a hadith of the prophet
00:06:20.960 who said on the day of judgment
00:06:22.720 there will be
00:06:23.520 certain individuals
00:06:24.960 who will be smiling
00:06:25.600 and a group of people
00:06:27.900 will come and say
00:06:28.360 look we've sinned
00:06:29.300 and we're doomed
00:06:29.900 you've sinned
00:06:30.860 and you're smiling
00:06:31.520 why are you smiling
00:06:32.720 tell me if it's authentic
00:06:33.880 I don't know
00:06:34.220 I've heard of it
00:06:35.500 and they said that
00:06:36.540 we did sin
00:06:37.100 but we did repent
00:06:37.920 is this authentic
00:06:39.360 do you know about it
00:06:40.420 if it is
00:06:42.660 we'll put a description
00:06:43.360 in the box below
00:06:44.340 that was it really
00:06:45.260 we just wanted to remind
00:06:46.200 that to yourself
00:06:46.700 and ourselves
00:06:47.280 just know that
00:06:49.520 you know every one of us
00:06:50.700 sin
00:06:50.880 it's the mercy of Allah
00:06:51.880 that those sins
00:06:52.720 are not exposed
00:06:53.600 even the hadith
00:06:55.140 Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
00:06:56.580 because you mentioned
00:06:57.100 Yom Al-Qiyamah
00:06:57.580 so let's talk about it
00:06:58.400 on Yom Al-Qiyamah
00:06:59.880 there's a section
00:07:00.440 that every single one of us
00:07:01.740 will go through
00:07:02.060 it's called Al-Arud
00:07:02.820 what is Al-Arud?
00:07:04.040 it's literally
00:07:04.540 where we present ourselves
00:07:05.480 in front of Allah
00:07:06.120 literally we present ourselves
00:07:07.800 and that's the conversation
00:07:08.860 which Allah SWT
00:07:09.560 for every single person
00:07:11.000 said there will not be
00:07:14.180 a translator
00:07:14.840 anyone between you and Allah
00:07:16.160 it's a direct conversation
00:07:17.060 and Allah SWT
00:07:18.620 will mention the hadith
00:07:19.560 oh my slave
00:07:20.620 you've done this
00:07:22.900 you've done that
00:07:23.760 you did this sin
00:07:24.620 you did that sin
00:07:25.360 and the Abdi
00:07:26.100 what would he say?
00:07:27.060 I did it
00:07:29.640 I did it
00:07:30.120 and Allah SWT
00:07:31.600 will say
00:07:31.920 on this day
00:07:37.600 Yom Al-Qiyamah
00:07:38.300 I will cover you
00:07:39.260 and conceal your sins
00:07:40.120 just like I covered
00:07:41.840 and concealed in the dunya
00:07:43.520 may Allah SWT grant us
00:07:44.660 his cover
00:07:45.020 I mean brothers and sisters
00:07:46.100 that's about it really
00:07:46.720 just a little reminder
00:07:47.480 because the reminder
