Transcript

00:00:00.480 Before I start, I want to let you guys know, inshallah, I am trying to raise 500,000 meals for Muslim Aid.
00:00:05.500 Please, please, guys, go to the link and give. These people are starving.
00:00:08.600 Imagine you help them have iftar among the sisters. Imagine the reward that you will get.
00:00:13.360 Do check that out in the link in the description box below, inshallah.
00:00:16.320 We're going to get straight into this video.
00:00:18.420 There's a new brand on the scene called Alif. They make 100% halal raw cat food.
00:00:22.400 There are countless health benefits to this new raw diet. Check them out on Instagram at alif.uk.
00:00:26.720 They do monthly subscription boxes, and you can get 10% discount on their 2-week trial box with my code ALI10.
00:00:32.500 Check them out now, and let your cat enjoy some nice food.
00:00:35.340 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:38.260 Welcome once again to my channel, Yajuj and Majuj.
00:00:41.540 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about them in the Quran, and they are mentioned specifically in our hadith, brothers and sisters.
00:00:47.200 Now, one thing that a lot of people make a mistake, which I've seen, you know, people of knowledge,
00:00:52.100 is that they try to comprehend and understand who is Yajuj and Majuj.
00:00:56.720 Where are they? How could they stay in a cave for so long and dig, dig, dig?
00:01:00.280 And just when they're about to come out, and obviously there's issues, some say there's issues with that narration, etc.
00:01:05.240 Some parts of it, you know, are not authentic.
00:01:08.200 Whatever it may be, I'm not trying to get into that, okay?
00:01:10.440 You know, and then, um, Dhulqarnayn, and, you know, there's so many speculations, etc.
00:01:16.500 And a lot of people come, and they're like, some people even get into doubt with this matter.
00:01:20.500 Some individuals even leave Islam, and I'm like, what's the issue here?
00:01:23.760 Let me tell you guys the crux of the matter, because there are a lot of people and love individuals who've tried to make people understand this,
00:01:29.480 and even push the narrative of these certain ex-Muslims, you know, that, you know, people are leaving Islam because of this, apparently, yeah?
00:01:37.560 Which I just heard one individual, and most of his reasons were because, you know, he couldn't have intimacy with a lot of girls, or something along the lines of it.
00:01:43.180 Okay, I don't think it was this issue at all, yeah? It was more of his desires.
00:01:45.960 The point is this, that we fall for this, and then what we try to do is, in return, is like, I know, let's try to bring it down to a logical level, and try to explain it in a logical way.
00:01:55.760 Now, I've seen many people do these videos, okay? Many people, one of those was, uh, Dr. Yasir Qadi.
00:02:01.080 You know, the thing is now, it's Ramadan, I'm not here to talk about anybody, uh, etc.
00:02:05.520 Okay? I don't want to make anything to ruin my fast, my Ramadan, etc.
00:02:09.900 All I'm just saying is, obviously, there's a lot of things I don't agree with, Dr. Yasir Qadi, and there's things I agree with also.
00:02:16.800 So, the thing is here, it's just, I don't want to get into the details and the nitty-gritty.
00:02:19.380 The point I'm trying to make is, he also done a video on this matter.
00:02:22.300 The point I'm trying to say, and what I don't understand is this, why do we have to understand everything?
00:02:27.700 In the context where, why does it always have to be logical?
00:02:30.800 Why does it have to be something where we're like, oh, explain it to me logically, or, you know, I'm going to start doubting things.
00:02:37.340 This is exactly why shaitan fell into disbelief.
00:02:40.120 When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told him to do something, bow down to Adam, he couldn't comprehend logically why he had to do that, when he feels like he's better than him.
00:02:49.400 The problem is this, taking the aql over the naql.
00:02:53.500 That is exactly our problem, and we apply this into our day-to-day life.
00:02:58.220 I have to understand this logically.
00:03:00.400 Who do you think you are?
00:03:01.700 I mean, how arrogant you must be to say, I need to know everything.
00:03:05.060 SubhanAllah, who do you think you are?
00:03:08.120 Either you're going to be like Iblis, and rebel against Allah, and fall into disbelief,
00:03:12.500 or number two, you're going to submit Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, like Adam alayhi salam,
00:03:16.020 and accept the naql, the text, what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying, and leave that realm to him.
00:03:22.280 You don't know what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is talking about, how it's going to happen, in what form.
00:03:26.960 You have no clue.
00:03:28.600 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala works in mysterious ways.
00:03:30.860 He's created the heavens and the earth.
00:03:32.380 He is the owner of everything.
00:03:34.540 How dare you try to bring something which you might not comprehend or understand, or doesn't make sense to you now,
00:03:40.500 and try to bring it to a human level, and in a logical way, and try to answer it, and be like,
00:03:44.420 oh, this might be robots.
00:03:45.600 And I'm not talking about anyone specifically.
00:03:46.760 I'm talking in general.
00:03:47.800 You know, this might be this, or this might be that, etc.
00:03:51.120 No, maybe it's none of that.
00:03:52.440 Maybe Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is going to show us,
00:03:54.160 in a way where we're all going to be like, oh my gosh, I would have never thought of that if you told me to think about it for a million, billion years.
00:04:08.480 Why is it impossible for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to enable them to be hidden somewhere,
00:04:14.420 and eventually they're going to come out, and they're going to be in their billions or trillions, and whatever it may be.
00:04:19.840 I believe in Allah.
00:04:21.100 I believe in His Messenger.
00:04:22.140 I believe in the Quran.
00:04:23.220 If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said it, if His Messenger said, that's what it is, that is what it is.
00:04:29.740 Period.
00:04:30.820 I don't need to bring it to, how does it happen, but it doesn't make sense to me.
00:04:34.380 Who cares with your little brain?
00:04:36.340 Who are you with your little brain to try to understand these things?
00:04:39.840 There are some things that we don't know, and we will never know.
00:04:43.460 That's the main reason I'm doing this video, because I've been keeping this in for the past one and a half year.
00:04:47.880 Guys, come on, what on earth is wrong with you guys?
00:04:50.340 Put your trust in Allah.
00:04:52.160 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala works in ways you will never imagine.
00:04:55.940 You can never comprehend.
00:04:57.540 So leave that matter to Him.
00:04:59.280 You focus on your ibadah, focus on your salah, don't worry about this stuff.
00:05:03.780 Your salah, your fasting, your zakah, your hajj, righteousness to your parents, your wife, your spouse,
00:05:11.080 helping community at large, and doing what is best for humanity.
00:05:14.580 And you have your trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and you will find out on the day of judgment.
00:05:18.620 Now you can find out two ways on the day of judgment.
00:05:21.260 You can come and say, oh Allah, I wanted to know how this whole yajuj and majuj thing actually was.
00:05:27.340 And Allah shows you, and you're like, oh my gosh, I would have never thought of that.
00:05:32.340 And as a believer, you would go to Jannah knowing what you saw.
00:05:36.520 Yes? Okay.
00:05:37.600 Having peace at heart.
00:05:38.400 Like Ibrahim alayhi salam asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to certain things.
00:05:41.420 Or you can be standing in front of Allah as a disbeliever who's destined to hellfire,
00:05:46.540 and you ask Allah before you enter hellfire about the yajuj and majuj, which I doubt you're going to.
00:05:52.120 And Allah shows you, and you're convinced.
00:05:54.700 But guess what?
00:05:55.500 You died as a disbeliever.
00:05:56.980 The choice is yours.
00:05:58.900 I'd rather take Allah's text, what Allah said, over my little brain all day every day.
00:06:04.780 Till next time.
00:06:06.200 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
