39 00:02:35,755 --> 00:02:40,799 Or is its use, or its use at the wrong time turns it into an evil thing. 40 00:02:40,799 --> 00:02:44,182 And a secondary question associated with it is the prejudices, 41 00:02:44,182 --> 00:02:49,095 or biases that are there, are these 'Ego' too, in another form?

Thank you. 189 00:12:46,872 --> 00:12:51,835 [Ghamidi] The methodology adopted in Islam was full of wisdom, 190 00:12:51,835 --> 00:12:54,700 i.e. slaves were only made in the battles, 191 00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,244 and there wasn't any concept of catching hold of an independent person 192 00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:01,451 and making him a slave in the Arab land. 193 00:13:01,451 --> 00:13:04,167 It was considered a big crime in those days too. 194 00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:07,799 Hence there wasn't the question that an independent 195 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:13,256 person be made into a slave, albeit the prisoners of war were made slaves. 196 00:13:13,256 --> 00:13:17,218 Hence Islam imposed Prohibition on it. 197 00:13:17,218 --> 00:13:20,181 Hence in Surah Muhammad, Allah (swt) announced 198 00:13:20,181 --> 00:13:23,396 before the occurrence of the first battle, 199 00:13:23,396 --> 00:13:25,946 that if the prisoners of wars 200 00:13:25,946 --> 00:13:30,331 are made captives, then "Fa Imma Mannam Ba'adu Wa Imma Fid'a", 201 00:13:30,331 --> 00:13:32,461 there will be just two situations 202 00:13:32,461 --> 00:13:36,145 either they will be made free out of good gesture. 203 00:13:36,145 --> 00:13:40,458 Or 'Fidya' would be accepted. i.e. some recompense would be taken. 204 00:13:40,458 --> 00:13:44,087 Or it may be that some prisoners are exchanged from either side, 205 00:13:44,087 --> 00:13:46,672 or there might be some other form of exchange, 206 00:13:46,672 --> 00:13:51,266 or it may be that some monetary ransom is accepted. 207 00:13:51,266 --> 00:13:56,757 Hence, the starting point of slavery was nipped in the bud. 208 00:13:56,757 --> 00:14:00,497 The existing slaves or the woman slaves, 209 00:14:00,497 --> 00:14:04,190 for them the path to freedom wasn't opened in this manner. 210 00:14:04,190 --> 00:14:06,651 Such an opening would have become oppression. 211 00:14:06,651 --> 00:14:08,241 They were living human beings. 212 00:14:08,241 --> 00:14:13,200 Those wouldn't have had any place to stay or sleep 213 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,675 and what they would do for their living? 214 00:14:15,675 --> 00:14:20,005 That was left to them. And the instructions 215 00:14:20,005 --> 00:14:24,363 were given to people that to treat them with the same 216 00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:29,559 what you eat and drink and have the same 217 00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:32,982 arrangements done for them which you do for yourselves. 218 00:14:32,982 --> 00:14:38,267 Their self-respect was reinstated. Their names as slaves were changed. 219 00:14:38,267 --> 00:14:40,597 These reforms were done. 220 00:14:40,597 --> 00:14:43,590 Obviously, in one generation and the people who had been 221 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:45,954 existing from before, or came after being traded 222 00:14:45,954 --> 00:14:48,886 at different places in the world, they had to hang on, 223 00:14:48,886 --> 00:14:51,229 so they were left as such so as to allow an incremental change, 224 00:14:51,229 --> 00:14:53,392 that slavery will gradually be made extinct. 225 00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:57,182 There wasn't any measure required, 226 00:14:57,182 --> 00:15:01,953 and any such step would have become quite difficult for them 227 00:15:01,953 --> 00:15:05,680 and the State was not in a position that those people 228 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,371 who had paid money and spent their wealth to buy them, 229 00:15:09,371 --> 00:15:12,930 to return their money for their freedom. 230 00:15:12,930 --> 00:15:17,072 This was the wisest way, albeit in the end, 231 00:15:17,072 --> 00:15:19,939 In Surah Noor, it was announced that all slaves whether 232 00:15:19,939 --> 00:15:25,356 they are men or women, if they wish for their freedom 233 00:15:25,356 --> 00:15:28,664 then they should prove that they are independently capable 234 00:15:28,664 --> 00:15:31,632 of sustaining themselves, 235 00:15:31,632 --> 00:15:34,690 then the people would be bound to make them free. 236 00:15:34,690 --> 00:15:36,601 This method was adopted by Islam. 237 00:15:36,601 --> 00:15:39,389 And during this gradual process, there wasn't any need for 238 00:15:39,389 --> 00:15:43,878 any revolutionary measures. It would have set a bad example. 239 00:15:43,878 --> 00:15:47,832 According to me, this is a point of deep research 240 00:15:47,832 --> 00:15:52,178 that when Allah Himself wanted to end this evil, 241 00:15:52,178 --> 00:15:54,895 then what wisdom He had adopted. 242 00:15:54,895 --> 00:15:57,309 Out of which there wasn't any turmoil 243 00:15:57,309 --> 00:16:00,508 or war as a consequence, and there wasn't the need 244 00:16:00,508 --> 00:16:03,077 to make camps for them, there wasn't such pressure 245 00:16:03,077 --> 00:16:04,639 on the Government, 246 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:07,792 and homeless people were not resplendent in lanes and bazaars 247 00:16:07,792 --> 00:16:12,108 rather the door was shut upon with great tact, 248 00:16:12,108 --> 00:16:14,767 and for the future, it was left to the situation. 249 00:16:14,767 --> 00:16:18,318 Hence it is not a reality that except for the deviations 250 00:16:18,318 --> 00:16:23,162 of the Monarchs when slavery ended in the world, 251 00:16:23,162 --> 00:16:27,582 none of our societies had slavery at the time. 252 00:16:27,582 --> 00:16:32,449 i.e. leave aside the Harems of Kings, and Nawabs as they were ready 253 00:16:32,449 --> 00:16:39,095 to infringe upon all kinds of things, there are a lot of women of the Mughals 254 00:16:39,095 --> 00:16:41,519 who remained Hindu and in spite of that 255 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:45,392 marriages took place with them. This wasn't done as per Islam. 256 00:16:45,392 --> 00:16:51,878 Hence, the way adopted by Islam was perfectly effective 257 00:16:51,878 --> 00:16:53,563 and the doors of slavery were shut, 258 00:16:53,563 --> 00:16:59,337 and the opening of the path of freedom for men was also gradually opened. 259 00:16:59,337 --> 00:17:01,202 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 260 00:17:01,202 --> 00:17:04,324 The next question is of Ahmed Khan Sahab. 261 00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:06,606 Ahmed Sahab, I am unmuting your Mic. 262 00:17:06,606 --> 00:17:08,285 You may ask the question. 263 00:17:10,555 --> 00:17:12,342 [Ahmed Khan] Assalam Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab. 264 00:17:12,342 --> 00:17:14,354 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Saalam. 265 00:17:14,354 --> 00:17:20,118 [Ahmed Khan] Ghamidi Sahab my question is related to the Quran. 266 00:17:20,118 --> 00:17:27,468 I went through your translation and of your Ustaz Amin Ahsan Islahi. 267 00:17:27,468 --> 00:17:31,776 Your translation of Surah Rahman for the Ayah 268 00:17:31,776 --> 00:17:34,396 "Fabi Ayyi aalaai Rabbikuma Tukazzebaan", 269 00:17:34,396 --> 00:17:39,427 is done a little differently, and the translation of your Ustaz 270 00:17:39,427 --> 00:17:43,857 for almost every Ayah is different. 271 00:17:43,857 --> 00:17:47,227 If the preceding Ayah is for 'Nemah' then the translation of 272 00:17:47,227 --> 00:17:49,741 "Fabi Ayyi aalaai Rabbiku Maa Tukazzebaan", 273 00:17:49,741 --> 00:17:53,127 is accompanied with 'Nemah' too.

And you probably are of the opinion that 353 00:22:39,634 --> 00:22:42,794 it should be on the total amount. 354 00:22:42,794 --> 00:22:47,367 i.e. on the full salary. So please remove this ambiguity 355 00:22:47,367 --> 00:22:50,826 and the second, if the zakat is to be paid on the full amount, 356 00:22:50,826 --> 00:22:53,613 then the question is that 357 00:22:53,613 --> 00:23:02,033 we pay the amount in our HSA account without having paid the tax, 358 00:23:02,033 --> 00:23:06,850 we contribute there. Similar such things are also there. 359 00:23:06,850 --> 00:23:10,669 Then in that case we would have already paid the Zakat 360 00:23:10,669 --> 00:23:13,304 while we are still paying on the full amount. 361 00:23:13,304 --> 00:23:17,906 So please explain this and if possible, can we have an exclusive program 362 00:23:17,906 --> 00:23:21,365 arranged with respect to Zakat 363 00:23:21,365 --> 00:23:24,985 then the confusion of many people can be removed through it. 364 00:23:24,985 --> 00:23:26,433 Thank you. 365 00:23:26,433 --> 00:23:30,132 [Ghamidi] As per my knowledge a lot of programs have been done. 366 00:23:30,132 --> 00:23:35,890 However, since this is a practical issue, the questions keep surfacing. 367 00:23:35,890 --> 00:23:40,647 The answer to your question is that this is a purely innovative opinion, 368 00:23:40,647 --> 00:23:46,380 and such differences are natural and will exist. 369 00:23:46,380 --> 00:23:49,047 Hence we should not be perturbed by it. 370 00:23:49,047 --> 00:23:52,352 Allah (swt) has Himself left this avenue open for His Deen, 371 00:23:52,352 --> 00:23:55,814 that some of the things are fixed and some have been left 372 00:23:55,814 --> 00:23:59,882 for the human intellect that the people themselves fix them out. 373 00:23:59,882 --> 00:24:02,599 Hence, some differences do take place there 374 00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:05,111 and this has been the case right from the first day. 375 00:24:05,111 --> 00:24:08,619 My inclination is towards the point which you stated, 376 00:24:08,619 --> 00:24:12,685 therefore some person might say that there is a difficulty 377 00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:16,578 surfacing for the people and since there isn't any explicit clarification 378 00:24:16,578 --> 00:24:19,637 from the Prophet (pbuh) is not available from the Prophet (pbuh) 379 00:24:19,637 --> 00:24:21,499 and we are carrying out 'Ijtejhad', 380 00:24:21,499 --> 00:24:25,352 hence convenience has to be kept in focus while doing 'Ijtihad'. 381 00:24:25,352 --> 00:24:29,229 Hence, on whatever we are satisfied we can act accordingly. 382 00:24:29,229 --> 00:24:34,366 The point that has been fixed in Shariah is actually the code of conduct of Zakah. 383 00:24:34,366 --> 00:24:37,766 That should never be infringed upon. 384 00:24:37,766 --> 00:24:39,283 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 385 00:24:39,283 --> 00:24:43,429 Muhammad Usman Sahab, it is your turn for the next question, 386 00:24:43,429 --> 00:24:46,608 I am unmuting your Mic. please do go ahead with your question. 387 00:24:46,608 --> 00:24:48,588 [Muhammad Usman] As Salam Alaikum, 388 00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:53,539 my question is that Allah (swt) has never sent a compact Book on Islam, 389 00:24:53,539 --> 00:24:59,488 for example your book 'Meezan'. Why hasn't He revealed such a Book? 390 00:24:59,488 --> 00:25:04,917 Is the test of intellect aimed through it? 391 00:25:04,917 --> 00:25:09,539 [Ghamidi] You have asked a very interesting question, 392 00:25:09,539 --> 00:25:15,173 All the Books of Allah are compact, however, this is not His style. 393 00:25:15,173 --> 00:25:19,224 In every era, the outlook of people, their approach 394 00:25:19,224 --> 00:25:22,981 and understanding of things, keep changing. 395 00:25:22,981 --> 00:25:26,120 According to this the Ulema present them accordingly, 396 00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:29,515 this happens for every subject of study in the world. 397 00:25:29,515 --> 00:25:33,073 If you have a glance at the Books of Allah then 398 00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:36,926 Torah is a very compact Book on Law. 399 00:25:36,926 --> 00:25:40,320 From the beginning till the end the Shariah or the Law 400 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,881 given by Allah (swt) to the Bani Israel has been stated there. 401 00:25:44,881 --> 00:25:46,994 And it has been stated from both aspects, 402 00:25:46,994 --> 00:25:52,455 i.e. the Divine Law of Allah (swt), that has been fully stated there, 403 00:25:52,455 --> 00:25:55,945 and in the same way, the Law for Guidance 404 00:25:55,945 --> 00:25:59,448 for the whole of humanity, that too has been fully stated. 405 00:25:59,448 --> 00:26:04,593 More or less the same style is found there which is used by us. 406 00:26:04,593 --> 00:26:08,460 i.e. the law has been elaborated in an orderly way. 407 00:26:08,460 --> 00:26:12,003 As far as the Zabur (Psalms of David) is concerned, 408 00:26:12,003 --> 00:26:14,508 the supplications are there. Those are exactly like, 409 00:26:14,508 --> 00:26:20,039 I am stating without intending comparison, like an anthology of Ghazals. 410 00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:24,720 Hence, the word 'Mazaamiir' (Psalms) has been used there. 411 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,537 Those are very beautiful Ghazals or very beautiful songs, 412 00:26:28,537 --> 00:26:32,260 or you may say, very beautiful Dua and supplications, 413 00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:36,405 when you read them, then everything is perfect in its place. 414 00:26:36,405 --> 00:26:40,323 The same situation is of the Gospel, it could not be arranged, 415 00:26:40,323 --> 00:26:46,087 had it been arranged by Allah (swt), then it would have been similar to it. 416 00:26:46,087 --> 00:26:49,228 However, the style of the Quran is that 417 00:26:49,228 --> 00:26:51,425 it is the Book of 'Inzaar' (Warning). 418 00:26:51,425 --> 00:26:54,653 i.e. since the chain of Prophethood was about to end, 419 00:26:54,653 --> 00:26:57,548 hence both the objectives have been fulfilled. 420 00:26:57,548 --> 00:27:02,060 Its topic is Guidance, and that is under discussion. 421 00:27:02,060 --> 00:27:07,769 However, its style is one of 'alerting', therefore this is its compactness. 422 00:27:07,769 --> 00:27:12,326 My or somebody else's book cannot possess that compactness, 423 00:27:12,326 --> 00:27:14,964 the compactness that is seen in it. 424 00:27:14,964 --> 00:27:19,427 The work that legislations are separated out from it, 425 00:27:19,427 --> 00:27:22,659 the discussions relating to 'Imaniyaat' (Belief and creed) 426 00:27:22,659 --> 00:27:25,031 are taken out of it, this is the forte of Ulema 427 00:27:25,031 --> 00:27:27,040 and they have always been doing it. 428 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,572 The Book of Allah should be a live Book addressing the human beings. 429 00:27:32,572 --> 00:27:35,181 And that is the style of the Quran. 430 00:27:35,181 --> 00:27:37,661 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 431 00:27:37,661 --> 00:27:40,033 We move on to the next question, 432 00:27:40,033 --> 00:27:42,806 The next question is from Zahid Gulkhan Sahab. 433 00:27:42,806 --> 00:27:45,818 Zahid Gulkhan Sahab, your Mic. is unmuted, 434 00:27:45,818 --> 00:27:47,629 you may ask your question. 435 00:27:49,419 --> 00:27:50,892 [Zahid Gulkhan] Salam Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab. 436 00:27:50,892 --> 00:27:53,412 [Zahid Gulkhan] My question is that 437 00:27:53,412 --> 00:27:55,646 if someone wishes to become an Aalim of Deen, 438 00:27:55,646 --> 00:27:58,565 [Faisal] Zahid Sahab would you speak a little louder, please. 439 00:27:58,565 --> 00:28:00,185 [Zahid Gulkhan] My question is that 440 00:28:00,185 --> 00:28:02,280 if someone wishes to become an Aalim of Deen, 441 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,353 then what should he do in places like India, 442 00:28:04,353 --> 00:28:06,905 as here, if someone wishes to become an Aalim of Deen 443 00:28:06,905 --> 00:28:09,829 then we have to go to a Madrasa of a particular Sect. 444 00:28:09,829 --> 00:28:13,821 However, if one wishes to study the Deen as a whole, 445 00:28:13,821 --> 00:28:19,711 then how is it possible, if you may suggest some Organization or method. 446 00:28:19,711 --> 00:28:22,457 [Ghamidi] You learn Arabic language from any place, 447 00:28:22,457 --> 00:28:27,134 have command over it to the best possible level, 448 00:28:27,134 --> 00:28:31,032 the knowledges and arts, which have the status of the legacy of the Muslims, 449 00:28:31,032 --> 00:28:34,984 learn the essential arts and sciences, 450 00:28:34,984 --> 00:28:37,869 those can be learned from independent tutors. 451 00:28:37,869 --> 00:28:40,866 That you may also learn from a Madrasa of Deen. 452 00:28:40,866 --> 00:28:44,545 Since as far as sciences and the arts are concerned, 453 00:28:44,545 --> 00:28:47,395 there isn't any question of sectarianism. 454 00:28:47,395 --> 00:28:51,819 After this comes the stage where the Quran or the Hadees is learned or taught. 455 00:28:51,819 --> 00:28:55,222 Therefore when we will have developed the fundamental capacity 456 00:28:55,222 --> 00:28:59,937 then we with our determination can study both these things, 457 00:28:59,937 --> 00:29:01,190 and understand them. 458 00:29:01,190 --> 00:29:03,631 This methodology has been adopted by many scholars, 459 00:29:03,631 --> 00:29:06,398 we too have adopted the same methodologies. 460 00:29:06,398 --> 00:29:09,203 So you may follow them as well. 461 00:29:09,203 --> 00:29:11,101 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 462 00:29:11,101 --> 00:29:14,788 Let me just remind you that the names that 463 00:29:14,788 --> 00:29:16,790 are there in the profile of ASK GHAMIDI, 464 00:29:16,790 --> 00:29:18,800 the same name should be displayed on Zoom, 465 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,000 if those names aren't displayed so you may Rename them. 466 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,883 If your names are different then I would not know 467 00:29:25,883 --> 00:29:27,662 whether you have logged in or not, 468 00:29:27,662 --> 00:29:30,816 hence there is the possibility of your name being skipped by me. 469 00:29:30,816 --> 00:29:33,963 Hence whatever name is there in the profile for ASK GHAMIDI, 470 00:29:33,963 --> 00:29:36,211 the same name should be displayed in Zoom too. 471 00:29:36,211 --> 00:29:38,420 The next question is from Usman Sadat Sahab. 472 00:29:38,420 --> 00:29:41,341 Usman Sahab you may ask your question. 473 00:29:41,341 --> 00:29:44,484 [Usman Sadat] As Salam Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab. 474 00:29:44,484 --> 00:29:47,288 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 475 00:29:47,288 --> 00:29:49,675 [Usman Sadat] Sir, in your Tafseer Al Bayan, 476 00:29:49,675 --> 00:29:52,280 'Ar Rahmanir Rahim' the Ayah of Surah Fatiha, 477 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,437 the meaning as given by Islahi Sahab which you have quoted, 478 00:29:56,437 --> 00:29:58,608 then according to him, he has written that 479 00:29:58,608 --> 00:30:01,546 in the vigor of Rahmaniat, He hasn't just Created this world, 480 00:30:01,546 --> 00:30:04,148 rather He wasn't even unmindful of its Guardianship. 481 00:30:04,148 --> 00:30:07,825 Hence, Sir, if we consider this Universe to be the creation of human beings 482 00:30:07,825 --> 00:30:11,231 and talk then it is understandable that human being becomes emotional, 483 00:30:11,231 --> 00:30:14,479 however, that Lord who is free from all such emotions and feelings, 484 00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:16,652 is it appropriate to use such words for Him? 485 00:30:16,652 --> 00:30:19,829 Hence the meaning which he has elaborated, 486 00:30:19,829 --> 00:30:22,317 are those automatically meant by the words 487 00:30:22,317 --> 00:30:26,655 or this formation of argument is as per their understanding? Thank you. 488 00:30:26,655 --> 00:30:30,712 [Ghamidi] The image of Allah which the Quran has given, 489 00:30:30,712 --> 00:30:36,359 is that of a live, permanent, lasting being. 490 00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:43,893 There Allah (swt) expresses His Anger, Love, kindness. 491 00:30:43,893 --> 00:30:49,077 An Entity comes forth in front of us, which is Living and to say that 492 00:30:49,077 --> 00:30:53,149 Allah (swt) is an Entity that transcends all emotions, 493 00:30:53,149 --> 00:30:55,446 then it would become the law of philosophers 494 00:30:55,446 --> 00:30:57,728 or 'Illat -ul- Ilal' (Prime Mover). 495 00:30:57,728 --> 00:31:00,826 Allah (swt) has expressed His sentiments in the Quran. 496 00:31:00,826 --> 00:31:06,381 And has used the same words which are normally used among us. 497 00:31:06,381 --> 00:31:09,339 Albeit, what is the nature of the sentiments 498 00:31:09,339 --> 00:31:11,407 and how do they arise, among us obviously 499 00:31:11,407 --> 00:31:16,107 those are quite imperfect, Allah (swt) is above this imperfection. 500 00:31:16,107 --> 00:31:20,189 However, he is a living Entity, if you study the Quran sometimes, 501 00:31:20,189 --> 00:31:27,241 then in multiple places, Allah (swt) has attributed this adjective to Himself, 502 00:31:27,241 --> 00:31:30,711 Allah has said that He (swt) hates that person very much. 503 00:31:30,711 --> 00:31:36,030 Or "He hates him" or "He loves it". So all these terms which are used 504 00:31:36,030 --> 00:31:42,225 for the expression of emotions, have been used for Allah (swt) in the Quran. 505 00:31:42,225 --> 00:31:47,228 There is no doubt in it, as far as the opinion is concerned that 506 00:31:47,228 --> 00:31:50,751 what does the word 'Rahman' signifies, 507 00:31:50,751 --> 00:31:57,714 is not an issue of understanding, rather the Arabic language makes it obvious. 508 00:31:57,714 --> 00:32:01,430 i.e. whatever are the adjectives that exist in this form 509 00:32:01,430 --> 00:32:05,412 there this intensity and passion is found, 510 00:32:05,412 --> 00:32:08,760 that we may convert into a suitable word, 511 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,766 if there arises some misunderstanding with the word 'emotion', 512 00:32:11,766 --> 00:32:16,673 then we may substitute it with passion, excitement, or fury, 513 00:32:16,673 --> 00:32:22,543 or any term, hence the words that have been used by Allah (swt) for Himself, 514 00:32:22,543 --> 00:32:25,490 if we look at them from the point of view of attributes, 515 00:32:25,490 --> 00:32:28,073 are the same which we use for human beings. 516 00:32:28,073 --> 00:32:31,655 And the words that are chosen for deeds are also the same. 517 00:32:31,655 --> 00:32:34,111 Those which are used for human beings. 518 00:32:34,111 --> 00:32:38,086 Hence there is no harm in it. Why has this been done? 519 00:32:38,086 --> 00:32:42,643 Since we do not have the ability to imagine anything beyond it. 520 00:32:42,643 --> 00:32:47,143 Hence our deeds, our attributes have been allegorically employed 521 00:32:47,143 --> 00:32:51,209 to enable us to form a concept. And along with it, 522 00:32:51,209 --> 00:32:52,845 the warning has been given that 523 00:32:52,845 --> 00:32:55,841 these are 'Mutaashabihaat' (Meaning only known to Allah). 524 00:32:55,841 --> 00:32:58,826 Do not speculate Allah's qualities based on your concepts. 525 00:32:58,826 --> 00:33:02,411 However, just for understanding, I have used the method of simile, 526 00:33:02,411 --> 00:33:06,375 which would enable you to form a concept of your own. 527 00:33:06,375 --> 00:33:09,768 Hence, we are compelled to use the same words, 528 00:33:09,768 --> 00:33:12,460 we do not have any other option other than it, 529 00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:16,212 although we will clearly tell, "Laisa Kamislihi Shai". 530 00:33:16,212 --> 00:33:20,909 No thing is like Allah at all. 531 00:33:20,909 --> 00:33:22,652 [Faisal] Thank you Ghamidi Sahab. 532 00:33:22,652 --> 00:33:26,237 We go on to the next question.

However, if neither the offsprings 561 00:34:48,873 --> 00:34:54,305 nor the brothers and sisters are there, then everything transfers to the parents. 562 00:34:54,305 --> 00:34:56,661 And those responsibilities which the offsprings 563 00:34:56,661 --> 00:34:58,406 or the brothers and sisters were to assume, 564 00:34:58,406 --> 00:35:01,682 if you ponder a little then the same responsibilities are entrusted 565 00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:04,766 according to the proximity of the benefts, to the father. 566 00:35:04,766 --> 00:35:10,217 Hence, the nature of the share has been made similar to that of the offspring. 567 00:35:10,217 --> 00:35:12,593 [Faisal] Thank you, Ghamidi Sahab. 568 00:35:12,593 --> 00:35:14,724 We take on the next question. 569 00:35:14,724 --> 00:35:18,286 The next question is from Fatima Khadijah Sahiba. 570 00:35:18,286 --> 00:35:24,128 Fatima Sahiba your Mic. is unmuted, do go ahead with the question. 571 00:35:29,138 --> 00:35:37,307 [Faisal] You will have a pop-up display where you have to unmute yourself. 572 00:35:42,487 --> 00:35:52,116 We move along, the next question that we have is from Saira Qureshi Sahiba. 573 00:35:52,116 --> 00:35:56,638 Saira Sahiba I am unmuting your Mic. please go ahead with your question. 574 00:35:58,364 --> 00:36:00,427 [Saira Qureshi] Yes, Salam Alaikum. 575 00:36:00,427 --> 00:36:02,172 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 576 00:36:02,172 --> 00:36:06,621 [Saira Qureshi] I have to ask is what is the difference between Iblees and Satan? 577 00:36:06,621 --> 00:36:09,268 Are they one and the same or are they different? 578 00:36:09,268 --> 00:36:14,225 Or is the Iblees just one or is it in multiple numbers? 579 00:36:14,225 --> 00:36:17,037 If it is single then how come that he is misleading 580 00:36:17,037 --> 00:36:19,867 all the human beings of the world simultaneously, 581 00:36:19,867 --> 00:36:22,451 or does he possess an especial ability for it? 582 00:36:22,451 --> 00:36:24,674 Or if the Iblees exist in multiple numbers, 583 00:36:24,674 --> 00:36:28,662 then had all these multiple numbers declined to prostrate before Adam? 584 00:36:28,662 --> 00:36:30,797 Thank you very much? 585 00:36:32,346 --> 00:36:36,189 [Ghamidi] Iblees is the title of Azazeel. 586 00:36:36,189 --> 00:36:42,840 i.e. the Jinn that refused to prostrate before Adam. 587 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:51,629 He was just a single Jinn, Allah (swt) punished him for this refusal, 588 00:36:51,629 --> 00:36:57,147 as a consequence of it, he became more arrogant and stood in challenge. 589 00:36:57,147 --> 00:37:04,523 Therefore, he asked for time, to continue his mission. 590 00:37:04,523 --> 00:37:10,621 Hence he keeps seeking followers in the same way, as the leaders do. 591 00:37:10,621 --> 00:37:15,238 Hence the Quran has elaborated in another place that 592 00:37:15,238 --> 00:37:18,273 he and his Race is carrying on with this work. 593 00:37:18,273 --> 00:37:23,901 i.e. his followers, his offsprings, and those who tread the path shown by him. 594 00:37:23,901 --> 00:37:29,524 Iblees is just one.

In another place is described in detail 879 00:54:31,990 --> 00:54:35,905 that "I unearthed you from this soil and into it you will go". 880 00:54:35,905 --> 00:54:38,606 "From here only you will have risen in Qiyamah". 881 00:54:38,606 --> 00:54:42,162 Then which Paradise? Paradise is yet to come into existence. 882 00:54:42,162 --> 00:54:44,865 regarding Jannah, Allah (swt) has stated that 883 00:54:44,865 --> 00:54:49,243 after the destruction of this world, the material that is scattered all around, 884 00:54:49,243 --> 00:54:56,810 the material that you see, will be accumulated to form Jannah. 885 00:54:56,810 --> 00:54:59,860 Hence there is no reason at all to consider that Jannah 886 00:54:59,860 --> 00:55:03,659 as the Jannah which human beings would be given. 887 00:55:03,659 --> 00:55:05,682 The word of Jannah in the Arabic language 888 00:55:05,682 --> 00:55:07,581 and in the Quran, in multiple places, 889 00:55:07,581 --> 00:55:09,553 has been used for the garden. 890 00:55:09,553 --> 00:55:12,993 Hence it is used even for that Jannah and there too it means the Garden. 891 00:55:12,993 --> 00:55:18,519 Gardens has been the term used. So this justification 892 00:55:18,519 --> 00:55:20,895 should be given by those people who consider him 893 00:55:20,895 --> 00:55:22,892 to be in some Heavenly Paradise 894 00:55:22,892 --> 00:55:26,098 otherwise, in multiple places in the Quran it has been explained 895 00:55:26,098 --> 00:55:30,065 that he was born in this world, here only the soul was blown, 896 00:55:30,065 --> 00:55:32,000 and all the matters occurred here. 897 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,741 And the picture that has been drawn in Surah Taha, 898 00:55:34,741 --> 00:55:39,072 clearly tells that it was a place in this world, 899 00:55:39,072 --> 00:55:41,873 and it would be such a place where the human being 900 00:55:41,873 --> 00:55:45,391 can initiate his life, since the human intellect 901 00:55:45,391 --> 00:55:49,119 and awareness has to take effect gradually. 902 00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:51,772 And after that the inventions would take place, 903 00:55:51,772 --> 00:55:55,438 dresses would be worn, and then the facilities would develop. 904 00:55:55,438 --> 00:55:58,437 Hence it should have been any such region where those 905 00:55:58,437 --> 00:56:01,745 things are provided for which have been stated in Surah Taha, 906 00:56:01,745 --> 00:56:06,674 "Annaka La Tajua Fiha Wala Tara Wala Tazmau Fiha Wala Tazha". 907 00:56:06,674 --> 00:56:11,068 i.e. there would be such weather which would be absolutely moderate, 908 00:56:11,068 --> 00:56:14,185 neither the thirst will disturb nor the sun would shine intensely, 909 00:56:14,185 --> 00:56:16,137 the different foods would be available, 910 00:56:16,137 --> 00:56:19,321 and the beginning obviously would be with fruits, 911 00:56:19,321 --> 00:56:22,859 or in later periods the human beings would be hunting the animals. 912 00:56:22,859 --> 00:56:25,826 So that is the picture in which i too see all this. 913 00:56:25,826 --> 00:56:28,986 According to me, the arguments should be given by the people 914 00:56:28,986 --> 00:56:31,691 who as they saw the word Jannah, 915 00:56:31,691 --> 00:56:34,386 and in spite of seeing that this word has been used 916 00:56:34,386 --> 00:56:36,658 in multiple places in the Quran for the garden. 917 00:56:36,658 --> 00:56:41,187 For Jannah, the word 'garden' has been appropriated and used. 918 00:56:41,187 --> 00:56:44,517 It is not that this word's original meaning is Jannah. 919 00:56:44,517 --> 00:56:48,202 For Jannah, the specific words that are used are different. 920 00:56:48,202 --> 00:56:51,289 And they haven't been used here. Hence according to me, 921 00:56:51,289 --> 00:56:55,366 this is the appropriate explanation and this is quite justified. 922 00:56:55,366 --> 00:56:58,877 Regarding the first part of your question I would like to state that 923 00:56:58,877 --> 00:57:02,012 the point made there is that this human being 924 00:57:02,012 --> 00:57:06,512 that had started from Adam A.S. how had it come into existence? 925 00:57:06,512 --> 00:57:09,816 i.e. was it the father and mother in the beginning? 926 00:57:09,816 --> 00:57:14,145 Hence the whole process has been indicated that we created from soil, 927 00:57:14,145 --> 00:57:18,100 "Khalaqa Hum Min Turab", We had started its Creation from Soil, 928 00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:22,132 And note how We took him through different stages for giving him birth, 929 00:57:22,132 --> 00:57:27,436 so if this was easy for us, how come it was difficult to give birth to Isa. 930 00:57:27,436 --> 00:57:30,552 Hence, according to me, this is what is implied by that allegory. 931 00:57:30,552 --> 00:57:32,835 [Faisal] Thank you very much, Sir. 932 00:57:32,835 --> 00:57:35,526 We go on to the next question, the next question is from 933 00:57:35,526 --> 00:57:37,882 Shakir Muhammad Sahab. 934 00:57:37,882 --> 00:57:41,150 Shakir Sahab your Mic. is being unmuted, you may ask your question. 935 00:57:41,150 --> 00:57:44,016 [Shakir Muhammad] AsSalam Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab. 936 00:57:44,016 --> 00:57:48,207 My question is in relation to the Shariah of Allah. 937 00:57:48,207 --> 00:57:54,583 like it is said that the Shariah of Allah keeps changing with every Prophet, 938 00:57:54,583 --> 00:58:01,021 so along with it, the example is given like the way Musa A.S. 939 00:58:01,021 --> 00:58:04,852 married to two sisters simultaneously, 940 00:58:04,852 --> 00:58:07,997 and with the Prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) 941 00:58:07,997 --> 00:58:12,770 that possibility was Prohibited. 942 00:58:12,770 --> 00:58:16,306 Is this concept rightly understood as per the Shariah? 943 00:58:16,306 --> 00:58:18,824 As Salam Alaikum. [Faisal] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 944 00:58:18,824 --> 00:58:20,866 [Ghamidi] It hasn't been said anywhere 945 00:58:20,866 --> 00:58:23,124 that with each Prophet the Shariah changes. 946 00:58:23,124 --> 00:58:24,666 It has been said that 947 00:58:24,666 --> 00:58:27,703 that the nations that have been given the Shariah by Allah (swt) 948 00:58:27,703 --> 00:58:30,678 there are some changes that keep taking place with respect to 949 00:58:30,678 --> 00:58:33,566 the situation of the time and for sake of testing. 950 00:58:33,566 --> 00:58:37,690 It is not so. You see the Shariah which was given to Hazrat Musa 951 00:58:37,690 --> 00:58:40,280 The Sharia that was given to Bani Israel that 952 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,108 was their Shariah for more or less two thousand years. 953 00:58:43,108 --> 00:58:47,929 There nobody made any changes in it. To the point, their last Prophet, Isa A.S. 954 00:58:47,929 --> 00:58:51,468 he also did not bring any new Shariah. 955 00:58:51,468 --> 00:58:55,448 So this point is not correct that with each Messenger the Shariah changes. 956 00:58:55,448 --> 00:58:59,055 As far as the point that the Shariah of the Torah 957 00:58:59,055 --> 00:59:03,964 which, presently, is with us, and that of the Quran 958 00:59:03,964 --> 00:59:08,101 there at least 90 to 95% complete conformity is found between them, 959 00:59:08,101 --> 00:59:10,299 there isn't any difference, 960 00:59:10,299 --> 00:59:12,619 where there are one or two inconformities, 961 00:59:12,619 --> 00:59:15,547 we cannot say conclusively that those have reached to us 962 00:59:15,547 --> 00:59:18,131 in their original form, or those have not reached us. 963 00:59:18,131 --> 00:59:20,485 Or there has been some change in them influenced 964 00:59:20,485 --> 00:59:24,011 by the opinions of some Fuqaha. When we see even our own Shariah 965 00:59:24,011 --> 00:59:27,373 which has been given by the Quran or given by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), 966 00:59:27,373 --> 00:59:29,420 so when those have been studied by the Fuqaha, 967 00:59:29,420 --> 00:59:32,995 a few things have entered into it, which is quite natural in human work, 968 00:59:32,995 --> 00:59:35,559 and which are not a part of the Shariah. 969 00:59:35,559 --> 00:59:39,693 Perhaps such a situation should also be assumed for them, 970 00:59:39,693 --> 00:59:43,007 except that there was something specific with Bani Israel 971 00:59:43,007 --> 00:59:46,476 and when something specific for Bani Israel is there 972 00:59:46,476 --> 00:59:48,943 it has been stated by the Quran itself. 973 00:59:48,943 --> 00:59:52,728 It has been stated in the Quran that they had been the chosen race of Allah, 974 00:59:52,728 --> 00:59:56,037 and being the chosen race, like for the Prophets, 975 00:59:56,037 --> 01:00:01,779 there are some specific Commands, for them too, there are some specific Commands. 976 01:00:03,239 --> 01:00:05,349 [Faisal] Thank you very much Ghamidi Sahab, 977 01:00:05,349 --> 01:00:11,118 this brings us to the end of today's session for ASK GHAMIDI LIVE, 978 01:00:11,118 --> 01:00:13,260 Once again I express my apology for those 979 01:00:13,260 --> 01:00:16,086 who had registered again but did not have their turn. 980 01:00:16,086 --> 01:00:18,450 InshaAllah it will be our sincere endeavor that 981 01:00:18,450 --> 01:00:20,913 this chain continues further, and you are provided 982 01:00:20,913 --> 01:00:23,921 an opportunity to register yourselves in ASK GHAMIDI APP 983 01:00:23,921 --> 01:00:28,776 to meet him and have the chance again to ask Ghamidi Sahab your questions. 984 01:00:28,776 --> 01:00:31,867 If you wish, you may also write your questions 985 01:00:31,867 --> 01:00:34,747 and post them on ASK GHAMIDI APP. 986 01:00:34,747 --> 01:00:39,375 We make a full effort to share with you the relevant video 987 01:00:39,375 --> 01:00:44,233 or reference of a book of Ghamidi Sahab. 988 01:00:44,233 --> 01:00:50,446 The objective of ASK GHAMIDI APP platform is that we form a community, 989 01:00:50,446 --> 01:00:58,722 and the people world over learn and understand Deen 990 01:00:58,722 --> 01:01:02,911 and wherever possible to get the guidance of Ghamidi Sahab. 991 01:01:02,911 --> 01:01:05,619 All of us can enthusiastically participate in it, 992 01:01:05,619 --> 01:01:07,822 and we may post whatever questions we have. 993 01:01:07,822 --> 01:01:11,344 If someone else has a question and we have some knowledge of it 994 01:01:11,344 --> 01:01:14,749 we may share some references of it or share some point of ours. 995 01:01:14,749 --> 01:01:19,191 InshaAllah, I hope that this platform comes out to be really helpful for us. 996 01:01:19,191 --> 01:01:25,532 With this, let me thank all of you, and specially Ghamidi Sahab for your time, 997 01:01:25,532 --> 01:01:29,817 Do permit your host, InshaAllah if we live, we shall meet again, 998 01:01:29,817 --> 01:01:31,771 take care of yourselves, Allah hafiz.
