Transcript
00:00:00.000
We need to be careful because a lot of people also go to scholars in different lands as well
00:00:03.060
and they're not aware of what's going to the western world and they give fatah that causes harm
00:00:06.320
but you don't know the affairs of what I'm trying to say.
00:00:10.220
People that do attack the Shaykh and that, they will not reach him in his knowledge and that.
00:00:20.920
I am a reaver and I was taught how to pray salah.
00:00:30.520
If you want to support someone like me in learning salah,
00:00:34.100
then sponsor 10 people for just £100 this Ramadan.
00:00:46.280
So guys, before the video starts, as you guys know,
00:00:54.160
Brothers and sisters, we're a charity that's printing 50,000 of these guided prayer masks.
00:00:57.700
In Italian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Albanian and English, inshallah.
00:01:02.280
And we're going to be distributing them to dawah tables, mosques, prisons, ISOCs,
00:01:10.240
We're opening salah hubs all across UK, Europe and even Latin America
00:01:15.060
Brothers and sisters, and we've got an app that's coming out.
00:01:23.420
Because this is something that can outlive a water well.
00:01:26.060
A person who learns how to do wudu, learns how to pray salah, learns the Quran, Surah Fatihah,
00:01:30.820
and lives for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years, you will get the sadiqah jariah for them.
00:01:35.800
They're teaching their kids every time they do wudu, every time they pray salah,
00:01:39.260
and every time they recite Surah Fatih, inshallah.
00:01:45.620
We are in Mecca in the Haram, brothers and sisters.
00:01:48.100
Today is the 27th of the night, and we're not saying it's guaranteed later to Qadr,
00:01:58.360
So we're not going to do this video because I didn't really want to touch up on this.
00:02:01.120
Even the first video, I don't want to get involved because I don't want people to have
00:02:04.400
the assumption that, because, you know, Sheikh had a specific ruling, an opinion
00:02:08.440
So I don't want it to come across as if it's a personal matter.
00:02:18.140
I mean, I mean, so I didn't want it to come across as if I'm trying to have a go at it
00:02:21.100
because he's an elder and he had that opinion, and I totally respect his opinion.
00:02:24.680
So I tried to abstain from the video, but when I saw the enemies of Islam using it,
00:02:27.580
I spoke to Sheikh Imam Faraq, we did a bit of Shura, I spoke with a brother, I spoke to Sneeho.
00:02:31.860
So let's do it in a way where the Sheikh answers the question, and I'm just there with a little bit
00:02:35.640
Now, there's a lot of people attacking the Sheikh, etc., which I believe it's not right.
00:02:39.960
There has to be adab and akhlaq when it comes to these things.
00:02:45.500
Yes, the enemies of Islam used it against Islam.
00:02:49.080
But one thing I wanted to point out where I believe it's not the Sheikh's fault in what
00:02:53.040
And again, I want to be careful with this because I don't want people to make it look like I'm
00:02:57.520
being sneaky by saying this because I genuinely was assessing and thinking, can we blame
00:03:03.400
Of course, there could be some blame, but I was thinking, and correct me if I am wrong, the
00:03:09.580
Sheikh, the Sheikh from what I know, the little that I know, he lives in Muslim lands.
00:03:15.240
If I was to live in these lands all my life, if you came and said to me, women do this or
00:03:20.620
men do this, and I would say, I want to be Allah.
00:03:22.400
If I was told that there are people who come and say, argue and say, this hadith or that
00:03:32.140
I'll be shocked because you need to understand, it's like living in a bubble.
00:03:36.760
Not intentionally, but you live in Islamic lands where everyone, the woman cover up, the
00:03:41.480
men cover up as well, you know, the aura as well, whatever it is.
00:03:44.560
There is haya, there is modesty, there is Islam, there is salat.
00:03:48.280
The tradition of the people, the urf is different.
00:03:53.180
So, I believe that maybe that, you know, subhanAllah, to go and expect the Sheikh to
00:04:00.060
have that, because you need to understand, dawah is not the same as an alim's job.
00:04:09.440
However, in certain aspects, like let's suppose, I'll give an example, for example, let's say
00:04:14.160
I would say an alim who comes to the UK, and let's suppose he speaks perfect English, I
00:04:18.480
believe he still will not be fit for the job, not because of his lack of knowledge, because
00:04:26.160
However, to understand the Western world, the urf of the people, and we know Imam Malik,
00:04:30.700
if I'm not mistaken, people came from different lands to ask him questions, and he would say,
00:04:35.340
go to your lands and ask the scholars of your lands, because they know your affairs the best.
00:04:38.440
I don't know if it was Imam Malik, but one of the alim's, yeah.
00:04:40.060
No, no, no, I'll give you a contemporanean, a contemporanean.
00:04:43.680
Sheikh Bil-Utaymin Rahmatullah Ali was asked by someone, I believe he was an Egyptian,
00:04:49.080
who asked him a question regarding, he said, where are you from?
00:04:55.100
He said, go back and ask the scholars of your land.
00:05:02.340
To expect, for example, because the Sheikh doesn't know, like, reverts, their struggles in the
00:05:07.060
Western world, what they're faced with, the shubhat that they have, et cetera.
00:05:10.300
That's the reason the way the Sheikh is, the answer, and maybe because that's his style
00:05:13.420
where he's very, to the point, and that doesn't, it requires sometimes hikmah.
00:05:17.200
You know, so the thing is, I believe the Sheikh is not at her fault, maybe that question should
00:05:21.260
not be asked to him, but the point is that we need to understand, guys, with this kind
00:05:24.800
of stuff, you will see some brothers, for example, that are not as knowledgeable, but
00:05:29.300
when it comes to the dawah, you can see, he knows what he's doing, because he's experienced
00:05:44.660
And I'm sure that he would have asked according to the rules of the shara'a.
00:05:52.900
He would not have stepped out of the shara'a because we don't expect him to do so.
00:06:01.320
And, you know, and even if, even let's say, even if it was, even if he was like outside
00:06:12.680
We should do, maybe that was a slight mistake from him, a misunderstanding, something like
00:06:23.740
In the sense where they're dealing with the Western people, it's a whole different
00:06:30.760
Oh, look, look, it's just in the question, the question of, for example, if we go to
00:06:40.840
Do you know now, we in the West, we have everything that we do, everything that we do has got to
00:06:56.260
And you can't run away like the process of what I've said.
00:07:00.860
Even the banks that say Muslim banks are run by the traditional banks.
00:07:06.300
I have got, I have got an Amana account with the bank.
00:07:10.720
And that bank, like the account that I have got is Islamic account.
00:07:17.960
So, like the Prophet ﷺ said, a time will come, a river will be so prevalent, the dust,
00:07:23.880
So, in that aspect, Brahman sisters, let's just be careful with that because at the end
00:07:27.380
of the day, when it comes to Shaykh Aswan Hakim, we know his expertise in Swana, we answer
00:07:31.060
fiki questions, fatawa, whatever it is, you know, that he gets from the other scholars.
00:07:37.080
If someone like me tried to go in there, I would make the same mistake.
00:07:43.080
It was just an inexperience, unintentional, an experience of a, and it was the first time
00:07:52.920
So, subhanAllah, he was, whatever it is, but at the end of the day, it goes back to this,
00:07:56.980
we should not attack the Shaykh and make it seem like this.
00:07:59.740
It's like myself going in, talking about mechanics.
00:08:03.640
I don't, I don't know, I'm not experienced in that area fully.
00:08:09.220
Look, I mean, the, look, subhanAllah, we, we, in Europe, we have got the European Council
00:08:18.740
And, for example, people that take houses on mortgages.
00:08:26.020
You know, if you go at the, the kind of the fatwa that there is, it is allowed, they
00:08:31.860
allow people to take houses on mortgages and stuff.
00:08:35.420
Because every, every land has got, I remember, like, in one of the fatawis of the ulama
00:08:42.320
al-Malikiyah, of the scholars of Malikiyah, some long time ago, where I'm from and in
00:08:49.020
other places surrounding, they stopped people from going to hajj.
00:08:54.680
Now, you're going to say, who can stop people from going to hajj?
00:08:58.160
They did stop them, because the reason, the route was not safe.
00:09:03.120
There were bandits, they were killing people, they were kidnapping people and that, so it
00:09:10.800
So, hence, a ruling was given to, to, to stop it.
00:09:17.980
Just, just not long ago, there was a big controversy.
00:09:23.300
said that this year, there will be no sacrifice.
00:09:28.980
No, no animal sacrifice should take place this year.
00:09:34.920
Some scholars of some other lands, or some seekers of knowledge, or mashayikh, or ulama,
00:09:43.840
This is a shaira from shaira, Islam, and this and the other.
00:09:47.740
Now, the ulama of that land, you know, they are aware of what the circumstances and that.
00:09:56.180
So, each, each, like, look, alim sometimes, if you ask any alim now about the, this, the
00:10:06.740
cryptos and this digital currency, you need a specialist to it, you need a alim who knows
00:10:15.080
about the economy, he knows about the, the, the, the, how it goes and that.
00:10:20.140
Otherwise, otherwise, any other alim should, no.
00:10:25.380
In a nutshell, we need to be careful, because a lot of people also go to scholars in different
00:10:28.880
lands as well, and they're not aware of what's going to the Western world, and they give
00:10:32.760
fatah, what causes harm, and that, no, this, but you don't know the affairs of, do you
00:10:40.440
Please, please, inshallah, do not attack the shair.
00:10:43.900
I don't think he's blameworthy of that, and the shaykh has staunch opinions on certain
00:10:50.500
Listen, let me say, people that do attack the shaykh, and they will not reach him in
00:11:00.480
And, and, and the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said,
00:11:04.200
إِذَا اِشْتَهَدَ الْعَالِمُ وَالْأَمِيرُ فَأَخْطَعُ فَلَهُ أَجْرُ وَإِنْ أَصَبْ فَلَهُ أَجْرًا
00:11:09.760
that if he makes jihad, and he makes a mistake, he still has ajal.
00:11:17.560
And if he, if he gets it right, he has got two rewards.
00:11:22.660
One reward for jihad, and the other reward for getting it right.
00:11:26.300
So, inshallah, shaykh is ma'ajur, even if he's wrong, or he's not.
00:11:31.620
Because I don't think he has got any kind of, what we call it, plans behind it, or some
00:11:43.520
It was surprising to him, he didn't expect it from someone who, and probably he doesn't
00:11:55.500
May Allah bless to preserve you guys, inshallah.
00:11:57.340
May Allah bless Sheikh Asim al-Hakim for his service for the Ummah, inshallah.
00:11:59.980
We've seen nothing but good in him, and may Allah preserve him.
