00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:21.208 [Ghamidi] Please go ahead. 00:02:21.208 --> 00:02:26.486 [Faisal] 'Ana' which we translate as 'ego', 00:02:26.486 --> 00:02:30.094 is it, in essence, a bad thing, 00:02:30.094 --> 00:02:35.755 and our aim should be to eradicate it from the root in our personality? 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. 00:02:40.799 --> 00:02:44.182 And a secondary question associated with it is the prejudices, 00:02:44.182 --> 00:02:49.095 or biases that are there, are these 'Ego' too, in another form? 00:02:49.095 --> 00:02:53.951 Or these, in essence, develop from a different source? 00:02:53.951 --> 00:03:03.248 [Ghamidi] Allah (swt) has created humans as an extraordinary creature. 00:03:03.248 --> 00:03:07.439 If we see them in comparison to all other creatures, 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.859 then it is a Masterpiece of the Creation of Allah (swt). 00:03:11.859 --> 00:03:18.055 Obviously, man is a conscious being, hence this greatness, and significance 00:03:18.055 --> 00:03:22.753 of this aspect of his Creation, is understood by himself as well. 00:03:22.753 --> 00:03:25.191 Therefore, an element of self-awareness 00:03:25.191 --> 00:03:31.011 and self-consciousness for this always remains inside him. 00:03:31.011 --> 00:03:35.620 If it remains within a limit then it is nothing bad, 00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:41.305 however, this feeling if left untamed then goes beyond 00:03:41.305 --> 00:03:47.510 to form such an egotism that is considered fit for condemnation. 00:03:47.510 --> 00:03:51.019 The same is the situation for arrogance, there too, 00:03:51.019 --> 00:03:57.925 a person considers himself greater, however, compared to whom? 00:03:57.925 --> 00:04:00.474 From among the creatures present in the world, 00:04:00.474 --> 00:04:03.191 obviously, human beings have a superiority over them. 00:04:03.191 --> 00:04:04.641 However, if that superiority 00:04:04.641 --> 00:04:07.321 turns into a feeling of superiority against Allah, 00:04:07.321 --> 00:04:12.031 or against the truth, then it is Shaitanat (Devilry). 00:04:12.031 --> 00:04:16.428 Therefore in the Quran, it was said about Iblees that 00:04:16.428 --> 00:04:22.217 when it was demanded of him that he bows to an inferior Creation 00:04:22.217 --> 00:04:28.204 by the Command of Allah, so he declined. 00:04:28.204 --> 00:04:30.882 The words are "Aba Wa Astakbar". 00:04:30.882 --> 00:04:34.181 That he considered himself superior. 00:04:34.181 --> 00:04:40.940 This act of feeling superior actually becomes the basis of destruction. 00:04:40.940 --> 00:04:45.557 Since human beings should always remain balanced with respect to two aspects. 00:04:45.557 --> 00:04:52.177 With regard to his Creator, i.e. there is no comparison at all. 00:04:52.177 --> 00:04:54.364 He is the Master of the universe, 00:04:54.364 --> 00:04:58.068 the Creator and Controller of the systems of this universe, 00:04:58.068 --> 00:05:02.844 and our status is that of an insignificant Creature. 00:05:02.844 --> 00:05:06.382 And second is, the Truth that is revealed by Allah (swt), 00:05:06.382 --> 00:05:09.579 or when that Truth establishes somewhere in the world, 00:05:09.579 --> 00:05:11.493 in challenge to that. 00:05:11.493 --> 00:05:15.733 Hence when the Prophet (pbuh) was asked, 00:05:15.733 --> 00:05:18.696 that we have an aesthetic sense too, 00:05:18.696 --> 00:05:22.259 we love to see things as beautiful and with perfection 00:05:22.259 --> 00:05:26.435 we like to see them intrinsically beautiful, 00:05:26.435 --> 00:05:30.358 we long to look presentable and handsome to others. 00:05:30.358 --> 00:05:36.715 We live and dress well, then he said, "Allahu Jameel Wa Yuhibbul Jamal". 00:05:36.715 --> 00:05:40.374 'Allah (swt) is beautiful and loves beauty. 00:05:40.374 --> 00:05:43.654 This isn't arrogance. 00:05:43.654 --> 00:05:50.832 After this was asked what is arrogance? He said, "Ghamtun Naas Wa Batarul Haqq". 00:05:50.832 --> 00:05:56.228 "To despise people and to stand against Truth". 00:05:56.228 --> 00:06:02.306 This is in fact the thing that should be called condemnable egotism. 00:06:02.306 --> 00:06:05.434 As it is the false expression of the self. 00:06:05.434 --> 00:06:08.675 And this has been declared by Allah (swt) as a huge crime. 00:06:08.675 --> 00:06:13.284 Hence it was announced that camel may pass through the eye of a needle, 00:06:13.284 --> 00:06:19.207 however, an arrogant, consumed with false self-pride 00:06:19.207 --> 00:06:22.467 and haughtiness cannot enter Jannah. 00:06:22.467 --> 00:06:25.127 So with this, we should seek refuge from Allah, 00:06:25.127 --> 00:06:28.655 however, selflessness, self-respect and a special type of pride 00:06:28.655 --> 00:06:30.133 are the protective attributes 00:06:30.133 --> 00:06:32.982 of the intellectual and physical existence of human beings. 00:06:32.982 --> 00:06:35.518 there is nothing in them which can be condemnable. 00:06:35.518 --> 00:06:37.168 [Faisal] Thank you very much,Sir. 00:06:37.168 --> 00:06:39.524 So we now move forward to the questions. 00:06:39.524 --> 00:06:43.551 The first question that we have is from Ahmed Shoeb Sahab. 00:06:43.551 --> 00:06:46.059 Ahmed Shoeb Sahab, I am unmuting your Mic. 00:06:46.059 --> 00:06:48.286 You may go ahead with your question. 00:06:50.686 --> 00:06:53.790 [Ahmed Shoeb] As Salam Alaikum, Sir. 00:06:53.790 --> 00:06:57.183 My question refers to your lectures in Mizan Al-Hikmah 00:06:57.183 --> 00:07:04.176 which discusses Iman on Allah, you had said that the intellect says 00:07:04.176 --> 00:07:08.016 that the Creator of this Universe does not need anything. 00:07:08.016 --> 00:07:10.760 My question will be clear from the analogy that 00:07:10.760 --> 00:07:14.856 if we consider ourselves as ants on paper, 00:07:14.856 --> 00:07:17.094 i.e. that paper will be our Universe, 00:07:17.094 --> 00:07:24.232 then we will feel that the Entity that is writing does not require anything. 00:07:24.232 --> 00:07:27.429 However, in fact, he is a needy person who writes that. 00:07:27.429 --> 00:07:33.096 Hence my question is it possible or can we establish that 00:07:33.096 --> 00:07:37.392 the Creator of this Universe, in reality, does not need anything? 00:07:37.392 --> 00:07:40.614 Or will we come to know of it in the Akhirah? 00:07:40.614 --> 00:07:43.488 [Ghamidi] There are just two aspects of our knowledge. 00:07:43.488 --> 00:07:49.774 One is, how something should be in our imagination? 00:07:49.774 --> 00:07:54.146 So when we think of this great universe, 00:07:54.146 --> 00:07:59.136 where the distances, as per our science, have gone into light-years, 00:07:59.136 --> 00:08:03.600 where its greatness is just beyond the realms of human knowledge, 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.970 One who is the Creator of such a Universe 00:08:06.970 --> 00:08:10.070 ought not to need anything of whatever kind. 00:08:10.070 --> 00:08:13.016 And if He really does need anything, 00:08:13.016 --> 00:08:18.130 then it will be something which is even superior to Him and as a consequence 00:08:18.130 --> 00:08:21.710 that superior thing would become His Creator, 00:08:21.710 --> 00:08:24.751 and then this chain will become infinite. 00:08:24.751 --> 00:08:30.713 Hence, the intellect tells us that if we have to accept and believe in a Creator, 00:08:30.713 --> 00:08:32.902 then this attribute should be present in Him. 00:08:32.902 --> 00:08:35.293 As far as the matter of intellect goes, 00:08:35.293 --> 00:08:39.167 from the things it experiences, it can say that those exist, 00:08:39.167 --> 00:08:42.168 however, the things which are intellectually derived 00:08:42.168 --> 00:08:46.799 or inference is made, there, the maximum it can say is that 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.301 "This is how it should be". This is in line with His Glory, 00:08:52.301 --> 00:08:54.355 if such a thing is accepted, 00:08:54.355 --> 00:08:58.325 then the logical consequence should only be this. 00:08:58.325 --> 00:09:01.726 The intellect cannot supersede this. 00:09:01.726 --> 00:09:06.310 Post this, if we get some news from somewhere, 00:09:06.310 --> 00:09:10.495 Hence the chain of the Prophets started by Allah, 00:09:10.495 --> 00:09:15.534 and made us aware about Himself, about His attributes, and His ways, 00:09:15.534 --> 00:09:19.273 then He said that all of us are needy 00:09:19.273 --> 00:09:21.133 in respect to Allah (swt) 00:09:21.133 --> 00:09:24.324 and Allah is indifferent to all such things. 00:09:24.324 --> 00:09:28.837 Hence the Surah which is called "The heart of the Quran" 00:09:28.837 --> 00:09:35.137 it was announced there, "Neither is His (Lord) peer 00:09:35.137 --> 00:09:38.339 nor is any entity made out of Him". 00:09:38.339 --> 00:09:42.648 "Neither He is from some entity, and He is "As Samad" 00:09:42.648 --> 00:09:48.107 "independent of everything", however, "Everything is dependent on His Support". 00:09:48.107 --> 00:09:50.493 After the acquisition of this knowledge, 00:09:50.493 --> 00:09:55.488 the heavenly Revelation confirmed that concept of our intellect. 00:09:55.488 --> 00:09:56.782 This is what we believe. 00:09:56.782 --> 00:10:00.698 However, all the realities will unravel only in the Akhirah. 00:10:00.698 --> 00:10:06.020 [Faisal] InshaAllah. The next question is from Muhammad Abdullah Sahab. 00:10:06.020 --> 00:10:08.136 Muhammad Sahab I am unmuting your Mic. 00:10:08.136 --> 00:10:09.899 you may go ahead with your question. 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:13.940 [Muhammad Abdullah] As Salam Alaikum, 00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:17.652 to maintain the foundation of the family after the marriage. 00:10:17.652 --> 00:10:21.147 And before the marriage through Sadd-e Zariya 00:10:21.147 --> 00:10:25.035 restrictions have been imposed on free relationship between man and woman. 00:10:25.035 --> 00:10:27.969 The question is if a class of people exist 00:10:27.969 --> 00:10:33.069 who have no aim to lay the foundation of a family, 00:10:33.069 --> 00:10:35.689 or to give birth and bring up another human being, 00:10:35.689 --> 00:10:40.393 and through Science it is possible these days to 100 % avoid this, 00:10:40.393 --> 00:10:42.685 then the question is, for the people 00:10:42.685 --> 00:10:45.924 who nurture such kinds of ideas, what is the reason still 00:10:45.924 --> 00:10:49.824 for the imposition of these restrictions? Thank you. 00:10:49.824 --> 00:10:52.609 [Ghamidi] For human beings when laws are legislated 00:10:52.609 --> 00:10:55.411 at the international level, or at the National level, 00:10:55.411 --> 00:11:00.583 or for a particular Group, then those are not legislated 00:11:00.583 --> 00:11:04.754 keeping in view the exceptions. When we form laws that 00:11:04.754 --> 00:11:08.295 all the people would drive on the left side, 00:11:08.295 --> 00:11:11.901 then we cannot permit a person just for the sake of displaying 00:11:11.901 --> 00:11:14.789 his skills that he drives the vehicle on the right side, 00:11:14.789 --> 00:11:20.072 and say that look I drove and showed that there wasn't any accident that took place. 00:11:20.072 --> 00:11:25.490 The collective laws are always legislated in general. 00:11:25.490 --> 00:11:28.396 They are made "Ala Sabili Taghleeb", 00:11:28.396 --> 00:11:32.926 i.e. those are legislated looking into the general conditions. 00:11:32.926 --> 00:11:37.238 If there are some exceptions in the laws, 00:11:37.238 --> 00:11:40.444 for them, principles have been stated in the Quran. 00:11:40.444 --> 00:11:43.752 That some person became restless, 00:11:43.752 --> 00:11:47.529 then there would be exception in Prohibition 00:11:47.529 --> 00:11:54.469 and if some person has difficulty then there would be concessions in Ibadah. 00:11:54.469 --> 00:11:55.904 These are the principles. 00:11:55.904 --> 00:12:00.189 At the level of Group, collection, National or International level, 00:12:00.189 --> 00:12:06.611 none of the laws are formulated keeping exemptions in mind. 00:12:06.611 --> 00:12:09.188 [Faisal] Thank you very much, Sir. 00:12:09.188 --> 00:12:15.010 Rafia Khwaja Sahiba, I am unmuting your Mic. You may ask your question. 00:12:20.410 --> 00:12:24.754 [Rafia Khwaja] As Salam Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab. 00:12:24.754 --> 00:12:27.783 Ghamidi Sahab, my question is that Islam came 00:12:27.783 --> 00:12:34.420 to abolish slavery so why didn't the Prophet (pbuh) free Maria Kibtiya 00:12:34.420 --> 00:12:38.188 in his lifetime and why did the Prophet (pbuh) 00:12:38.188 --> 00:12:41.528 and the Khulfa-e Rashideen (The four Rightly Guided Khalifas) 00:12:41.528 --> 00:12:46.872 practiced what Islam wanted to abolish? Thank you. 00:12:46.872 --> 00:12:51.835 [Ghamidi] The methodology adopted in Islam was full of wisdom, 00:12:51.835 --> 00:12:54.700 i.e. slaves were only made in the battles, 00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:58.244 and there wasn't any concept of catching hold of an independent person 00:12:58.244 --> 00:13:01.451 and making him a slave in the Arab land. 00:13:01.451 --> 00:13:04.167 It was considered a big crime in those days too. 00:13:04.167 --> 00:13:07.799 Hence there wasn't the question that an independent 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.256 person be made into a slave, albeit the prisoners of war were made slaves. 00:13:13.256 --> 00:13:17.218 Hence Islam imposed Prohibition on it. 00:13:17.218 --> 00:13:20.181 Hence in Surah Muhammad, Allah (swt) announced 00:13:20.181 --> 00:13:23.396 before the occurrence of the first battle, 00:13:23.396 --> 00:13:25.946 that if the prisoners of wars 00:13:25.946 --> 00:13:30.331 are made captives, then "Fa Imma Mannam Ba'adu Wa Imma Fid'a", 00:13:30.331 --> 00:13:32.461 there will be just two situations 00:13:32.461 --> 00:13:36.145 either they will be made free out of good gesture. 00:13:36.145 --> 00:13:40.458 Or 'Fidya' would be accepted. i.e. some recompense would be taken. 00:13:40.458 --> 00:13:44.087 Or it may be that some prisoners are exchanged from either side, 00:13:44.087 --> 00:13:46.672 or there might be some other form of exchange, 00:13:46.672 --> 00:13:51.266 or it may be that some monetary ransom is accepted. 00:13:51.266 --> 00:13:56.757 Hence, the starting point of slavery was nipped in the bud. 00:13:56.757 --> 00:14:00.497 The existing slaves or the woman slaves, 00:14:00.497 --> 00:14:04.190 for them the path to freedom wasn't opened in this manner. 00:14:04.190 --> 00:14:06.651 Such an opening would have become oppression. 00:14:06.651 --> 00:14:08.241 They were living human beings. 00:14:08.241 --> 00:14:13.200 Those wouldn't have had any place to stay or sleep 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.675 and what they would do for their living? 00:14:15.675 --> 00:14:20.005 That was left to them. And the instructions 00:14:20.005 --> 00:14:24.363 were given to people that to treat them with the same 00:14:24.363 --> 00:14:29.559 what you eat and drink and have the same 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.982 arrangements done for them which you do for yourselves. 00:14:32.982 --> 00:14:38.267 Their self-respect was reinstated. Their names as slaves were changed. 00:14:38.267 --> 00:14:40.597 These reforms were done. 00:14:40.597 --> 00:14:43.590 Obviously, in one generation and the people who had been 00:14:43.590 --> 00:14:45.954 existing from before, or came after being traded 00:14:45.954 --> 00:14:48.886 at different places in the world, they had to hang on, 00:14:48.886 --> 00:14:51.229 so they were left as such so as to allow an incremental change, 00:14:51.229 --> 00:14:53.392 that slavery will gradually be made extinct. 00:14:53.392 --> 00:14:57.182 There wasn't any measure required, 00:14:57.182 --> 00:15:01.953 and any such step would have become quite difficult for them 00:15:01.953 --> 00:15:05.680 and the State was not in a position that those people 00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:09.371 who had paid money and spent their wealth to buy them, 00:15:09.371 --> 00:15:12.930 to return their money for their freedom. 00:15:12.930 --> 00:15:17.072 This was the wisest way, albeit in the end, 00:15:17.072 --> 00:15:19.939 In Surah Noor, it was announced that all slaves whether 00:15:19.939 --> 00:15:25.356 they are men or women, if they wish for their freedom 00:15:25.356 --> 00:15:28.664 then they should prove that they are independently capable 00:15:28.664 --> 00:15:31.632 of sustaining themselves, 00:15:31.632 --> 00:15:34.690 then the people would be bound to make them free. 00:15:34.690 --> 00:15:36.601 This method was adopted by Islam. 00:15:36.601 --> 00:15:39.389 And during this gradual process, there wasn't any need for 00:15:39.389 --> 00:15:43.878 any revolutionary measures. It would have set a bad example. 00:15:43.878 --> 00:15:47.832 According to me, this is a point of deep research 00:15:47.832 --> 00:15:52.178 that when Allah Himself wanted to end this evil, 00:15:52.178 --> 00:15:54.895 then what wisdom He had adopted. 00:15:54.895 --> 00:15:57.309 Out of which there wasn't any turmoil 00:15:57.309 --> 00:16:00.508 or war as a consequence, and there wasn't the need 00:16:00.508 --> 00:16:03.077 to make camps for them, there wasn't such pressure 00:16:03.077 --> 00:16:04.639 on the Government, 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.792 and homeless people were not resplendent in lanes and bazaars 00:16:07.792 --> 00:16:12.108 rather the door was shut upon with great tact, 00:16:12.108 --> 00:16:14.767 and for the future, it was left to the situation. 00:16:14.767 --> 00:16:18.318 Hence it is not a reality that except for the deviations 00:16:18.318 --> 00:16:23.162 of the Monarchs when slavery ended in the world, 00:16:23.162 --> 00:16:27.582 none of our societies had slavery at the time. 00:16:27.582 --> 00:16:32.449 i.e. leave aside the Harems of Kings, and Nawabs as they were ready 00:16:32.449 --> 00:16:39.095 to infringe upon all kinds of things, there are a lot of women of the Mughals 00:16:39.095 --> 00:16:41.519 who remained Hindu and in spite of that 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.392 marriages took place with them. This wasn't done as per Islam. 00:16:45.392 --> 00:16:51.878 Hence, the way adopted by Islam was perfectly effective 00:16:51.878 --> 00:16:53.563 and the doors of slavery were shut, 00:16:53.563 --> 00:16:59.337 and the opening of the path of freedom for men was also gradually opened. 00:16:59.337 --> 00:17:01.202 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 00:17:01.202 --> 00:17:04.324 The next question is of Ahmed Khan Sahab. 00:17:04.324 --> 00:17:06.606 Ahmed Sahab, I am unmuting your Mic. 00:17:06.606 --> 00:17:08.285 You may ask the question. 00:17:10.555 --> 00:17:12.342 [Ahmed Khan] Assalam Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab. 00:17:12.342 --> 00:17:14.354 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Saalam. 00:17:14.354 --> 00:17:20.118 [Ahmed Khan] Ghamidi Sahab my question is related to the Quran. 00:17:20.118 --> 00:17:27.468 I went through your translation and of your Ustaz Amin Ahsan Islahi. 00:17:27.468 --> 00:17:31.776 Your translation of Surah Rahman for the Ayah 00:17:31.776 --> 00:17:34.396 "Fabi Ayyi aalaai Rabbikuma Tukazzebaan", 00:17:34.396 --> 00:17:39.427 is done a little differently, and the translation of your Ustaz 00:17:39.427 --> 00:17:43.857 for almost every Ayah is different. 00:17:43.857 --> 00:17:47.227 If the preceding Ayah is for 'Nemah' then the translation of 00:17:47.227 --> 00:17:49.741 "Fabi Ayyi aalaai Rabbiku Maa Tukazzebaan", 00:17:49.741 --> 00:17:53.127 is accompanied with 'Nemah' too. Sir, I would like to know, 00:17:53.127 --> 00:17:58.367 how broad is its meaning, and what is the reason for so great a difference? 00:17:58.367 --> 00:18:02.111 [Ghamidi] The word which has been used in the Arabic language 00:18:02.111 --> 00:18:08.979 has such a broad meaning, and according to the context and the background, 00:18:08.979 --> 00:18:13.438 it is used with different aspects. 00:18:13.438 --> 00:18:18.625 Hence some people like Maulana Syed Abul Ala Sahib Maududi, 00:18:18.625 --> 00:18:21.766 or my respectable Ustaz Imam Amin Ahsan Islahi, 00:18:21.766 --> 00:18:29.292 they have used the method that in every place they have used a different word. 00:18:29.292 --> 00:18:38.189 I feel that the word 'Shaan' in Urdu language possesses a similar broadness. 00:18:38.189 --> 00:18:42.298 So for this word even though its broadness is not of that degree, 00:18:42.298 --> 00:18:44.010 which is possessed by the word 'Ala', 00:18:44.010 --> 00:18:47.722 however, this too, if you look at its usages 00:18:47.722 --> 00:18:49.854 possesses a lot of expanse in itself. 00:18:49.854 --> 00:18:53.044 Hence, I have preferred it, since there is a single word, 00:18:53.044 --> 00:18:56.605 hence if is such a word is there in the Urdu language 00:18:56.605 --> 00:18:59.959 which is nearly its counterpart, which nearly expresses the idea, 00:18:59.959 --> 00:19:02.338 then that should be used, 00:19:02.338 --> 00:19:04.463 both these approaches are absolutely fine, 00:19:04.463 --> 00:19:06.411 and both can be adopted. 00:19:06.411 --> 00:19:09.740 [Faisal] Thank you very much, Sir. 00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:12.570 We move on to the next question. The next question is 00:19:12.570 --> 00:19:15.603 from Nasar Ahmed Sahab. Nasar Sahab your Mic. is being unmuted. 00:19:15.603 --> 00:19:17.364 You may ask your question. 00:19:17.364 --> 00:19:20.163 [Nasar Ahmed] As Salam Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab. 00:19:20.163 --> 00:19:21.616 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 00:19:21.616 --> 00:19:25.354 [Nasar Ahmed] I would quickly say my question as I have a request too, 00:19:25.354 --> 00:19:31.407 I came across a Hadees, probably it is in Tirmidhi and Ibn-e Maaja, 00:19:31.407 --> 00:19:35.424 and similar to it is found in Bukhari that it is better 00:19:35.424 --> 00:19:43.968 to delay the Isha Salah, and what I have gathered till now 00:19:43.968 --> 00:19:46.378 is whenever, the time for a Salah starts then 00:19:46.378 --> 00:19:48.850 that is the most preferred time to offer it, 00:19:48.850 --> 00:19:50.740 we should offer it at the earliest, 00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:52.577 so please give some guidance about it. 00:19:52.577 --> 00:19:55.206 And I request Faisal Sahab and your colleagues 00:19:55.206 --> 00:19:59.871 and students that here we generally talk in the English language, 00:19:59.871 --> 00:20:02.780 and our children are generally studying in the same language, 00:20:02.780 --> 00:20:07.718 hence if some reading list is published for regular people 00:20:07.718 --> 00:20:11.635 who do not wish to become Aalim rather just to train ourselves 00:20:11.635 --> 00:20:13.777 by gathering information and knowledge, 00:20:13.777 --> 00:20:18.374 hence if there is a reading list in the English language, 00:20:18.374 --> 00:20:22.623 I saw just now that on kindle, "Islam a Comprehensive Introduction" 00:20:22.623 --> 00:20:25.768 is available, so that is very good. 00:20:25.768 --> 00:20:28.072 Hence If something is there of this sort please, 00:20:28.072 --> 00:20:30.282 it would be great, Thank you. 00:20:30.282 --> 00:20:33.485 [Ghamidi] The matter which you said in the end, its arrangement 00:20:33.485 --> 00:20:36.122 is being done by this center 00:20:36.122 --> 00:20:40.159 as well as by the Al Mawrid Institutes all over the world. 00:20:40.159 --> 00:20:43.896 In Pakistan, Australia, and wherever they are, 00:20:43.896 --> 00:20:49.134 you may contact them. As far as your question is concerned, 00:20:49.134 --> 00:20:53.811 its answer is that the model set by the Prophet (pbuh), 00:20:53.811 --> 00:20:59.059 is the best example for us in Ibadaat (worship), 00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:04.091 and he preferred that there should be a delay in the Isha Salah, 00:21:04.091 --> 00:21:08.238 its real objective is that it should be offered close to the time of sleeping. 00:21:08.238 --> 00:21:13.052 So that our last activity for the day is the Ibadah of Allah. 00:21:13.052 --> 00:21:16.460 Hence, it is 'Mustahab', a liked activity, a good thing. 00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:19.473 The Prophet (pbuh) has liked it. 00:21:19.473 --> 00:21:24.072 However, when it is time we may offer the Salah, there isn't any harm in it. 00:21:25.802 --> 00:21:28.183 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. Let me also tell you, 00:21:28.183 --> 00:21:30.677 that you may visit Ghamidi.org/books 00:21:30.677 --> 00:21:33.486 then the books available with us, where there are books 00:21:33.486 --> 00:21:36.162 in English as well as in Urdu, and there are sections, 00:21:36.162 --> 00:21:39.302 where you may visit the English Section to see the English books. 00:21:39.302 --> 00:21:41.067 Other than this, if you wish to ask 00:21:41.067 --> 00:21:43.646 some similar questions through the 'ASK GHAMIDI' app. 00:21:43.646 --> 00:21:46.572 then you may do so, Insha Allah, we will try to help you out, 00:21:46.572 --> 00:21:49.636 in the best possible way. We offer courses in English as well. 00:21:49.636 --> 00:21:52.387 The Sunday School has English as its medium of teaching. 00:21:52.387 --> 00:21:55.763 There are quite a number of things available, Insha Allah, we will try 00:21:55.763 --> 00:21:58.351 to help out in whatever way possible. 00:21:58.351 --> 00:22:02.098 We go on to the next question. The next question is from Shahid Ashrafi Sahab. 00:22:02.098 --> 00:22:04.388 Shahid Sahab your Mic. is being unmuted, 00:22:04.388 --> 00:22:06.692 please go ahead with the question. 00:22:06.692 --> 00:22:08.404 [Shahid Ashrafi] As Salam Alaikum, 00:22:08.404 --> 00:22:14.121 Ghamidi Sahab, my question actually relates to the last session. 00:22:14.121 --> 00:22:18.092 And I still have some confusion about the slabs in Zakat, 00:22:18.092 --> 00:22:22.214 especially about the slabs in the salary, 00:22:22.214 --> 00:22:26.401 I viewed one of the lectures of Dr. Shahzad Sahab, 00:22:26.401 --> 00:22:31.021 there he says that slab which is exempted 00:22:31.021 --> 00:22:34.113 that is deducted and he says that the Zakah should be calculated 00:22:34.113 --> 00:22:39.634 on the remaining amount. And you probably are of the opinion that 00:22:39.634 --> 00:22:42.794 it should be on the total amount. 00:22:42.794 --> 00:22:47.367 i.e. on the full salary. So please remove this ambiguity 00:22:47.367 --> 00:22:50.826 and the second, if the zakat is to be paid on the full amount, 00:22:50.826 --> 00:22:53.613 then the question is that 00:22:53.613 --> 00:23:02.033 we pay the amount in our HSA account without having paid the tax, 00:23:02.033 --> 00:23:06.850 we contribute there. Similar such things are also there. 00:23:06.850 --> 00:23:10.669 Then in that case we would have already paid the Zakat 00:23:10.669 --> 00:23:13.304 while we are still paying on the full amount. 00:23:13.304 --> 00:23:17.906 So please explain this and if possible, can we have an exclusive program 00:23:17.906 --> 00:23:21.365 arranged with respect to Zakat 00:23:21.365 --> 00:23:24.985 then the confusion of many people can be removed through it. 00:23:24.985 --> 00:23:26.433 Thank you. 00:23:26.433 --> 00:23:30.132 [Ghamidi] As per my knowledge a lot of programs have been done. 00:23:30.132 --> 00:23:35.890 However, since this is a practical issue, the questions keep surfacing. 00:23:35.890 --> 00:23:40.647 The answer to your question is that this is a purely innovative opinion, 00:23:40.647 --> 00:23:46.380 and such differences are natural and will exist. 00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:49.047 Hence we should not be perturbed by it. 00:23:49.047 --> 00:23:52.352 Allah (swt) has Himself left this avenue open for His Deen, 00:23:52.352 --> 00:23:55.814 that some of the things are fixed and some have been left 00:23:55.814 --> 00:23:59.882 for the human intellect that the people themselves fix them out. 00:23:59.882 --> 00:24:02.599 Hence, some differences do take place there 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.111 and this has been the case right from the first day. 00:24:05.111 --> 00:24:08.619 My inclination is towards the point which you stated, 00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:12.685 therefore some person might say that there is a difficulty 00:24:12.685 --> 00:24:16.578 surfacing for the people and since there isn't any explicit clarification 00:24:16.578 --> 00:24:19.637 from the Prophet (pbuh) is not available from the Prophet (pbuh) 00:24:19.637 --> 00:24:21.499 and we are carrying out 'Ijtejhad', 00:24:21.499 --> 00:24:25.352 hence convenience has to be kept in focus while doing 'Ijtihad'. 00:24:25.352 --> 00:24:29.229 Hence, on whatever we are satisfied we can act accordingly. 00:24:29.229 --> 00:24:34.366 The point that has been fixed in Shariah is actually the code of conduct of Zakah. 00:24:34.366 --> 00:24:37.766 That should never be infringed upon. 00:24:37.766 --> 00:24:39.283 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 00:24:39.283 --> 00:24:43.429 Muhammad Usman Sahab, it is your turn for the next question, 00:24:43.429 --> 00:24:46.608 I am unmuting your Mic. please do go ahead with your question. 00:24:46.608 --> 00:24:48.588 [Muhammad Usman] As Salam Alaikum, 00:24:48.588 --> 00:24:53.539 my question is that Allah (swt) has never sent a compact Book on Islam, 00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:59.488 for example your book 'Meezan'. Why hasn't He revealed such a Book? 00:24:59.488 --> 00:25:04.917 Is the test of intellect aimed through it? 00:25:04.917 --> 00:25:09.539 [Ghamidi] You have asked a very interesting question, 00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:15.173 All the Books of Allah are compact, however, this is not His style. 00:25:15.173 --> 00:25:19.224 In every era, the outlook of people, their approach 00:25:19.224 --> 00:25:22.981 and understanding of things, keep changing. 00:25:22.981 --> 00:25:26.120 According to this the Ulema present them accordingly, 00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:29.515 this happens for every subject of study in the world. 00:25:29.515 --> 00:25:33.073 If you have a glance at the Books of Allah then 00:25:33.073 --> 00:25:36.926 Torah is a very compact Book on Law. 00:25:36.926 --> 00:25:40.320 From the beginning till the end the Shariah or the Law 00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:44.881 given by Allah (swt) to the Bani Israel has been stated there. 00:25:44.881 --> 00:25:46.994 And it has been stated from both aspects, 00:25:46.994 --> 00:25:52.455 i.e. the Divine Law of Allah (swt), that has been fully stated there, 00:25:52.455 --> 00:25:55.945 and in the same way, the Law for Guidance 00:25:55.945 --> 00:25:59.448 for the whole of humanity, that too has been fully stated. 00:25:59.448 --> 00:26:04.593 More or less the same style is found there which is used by us. 00:26:04.593 --> 00:26:08.460 i.e. the law has been elaborated in an orderly way. 00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:12.003 As far as the Zabur (Psalms of David) is concerned, 00:26:12.003 --> 00:26:14.508 the supplications are there. Those are exactly like, 00:26:14.508 --> 00:26:20.039 I am stating without intending comparison, like an anthology of Ghazals. 00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:24.720 Hence, the word 'Mazaamiir' (Psalms) has been used there. 00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:28.537 Those are very beautiful Ghazals or very beautiful songs, 00:26:28.537 --> 00:26:32.260 or you may say, very beautiful Dua and supplications, 00:26:32.260 --> 00:26:36.405 when you read them, then everything is perfect in its place. 00:26:36.405 --> 00:26:40.323 The same situation is of the Gospel, it could not be arranged, 00:26:40.323 --> 00:26:46.087 had it been arranged by Allah (swt), then it would have been similar to it. 00:26:46.087 --> 00:26:49.228 However, the style of the Quran is that 00:26:49.228 --> 00:26:51.425 it is the Book of 'Inzaar' (Warning). 00:26:51.425 --> 00:26:54.653 i.e. since the chain of Prophethood was about to end, 00:26:54.653 --> 00:26:57.548 hence both the objectives have been fulfilled. 00:26:57.548 --> 00:27:02.060 Its topic is Guidance, and that is under discussion. 00:27:02.060 --> 00:27:07.769 However, its style is one of 'alerting', therefore this is its compactness. 00:27:07.769 --> 00:27:12.326 My or somebody else's book cannot possess that compactness, 00:27:12.326 --> 00:27:14.964 the compactness that is seen in it. 00:27:14.964 --> 00:27:19.427 The work that legislations are separated out from it, 00:27:19.427 --> 00:27:22.659 the discussions relating to 'Imaniyaat' (Belief and creed) 00:27:22.659 --> 00:27:25.031 are taken out of it, this is the forte of Ulema 00:27:25.031 --> 00:27:27.040 and they have always been doing it. 00:27:27.040 --> 00:27:32.572 The Book of Allah should be a live Book addressing the human beings. 00:27:32.572 --> 00:27:35.181 And that is the style of the Quran. 00:27:35.181 --> 00:27:37.661 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 00:27:37.661 --> 00:27:40.033 We move on to the next question, 00:27:40.033 --> 00:27:42.806 The next question is from Zahid Gulkhan Sahab. 00:27:42.806 --> 00:27:45.818 Zahid Gulkhan Sahab, your Mic. is unmuted, 00:27:45.818 --> 00:27:47.629 you may ask your question. 00:27:49.419 --> 00:27:50.892 [Zahid Gulkhan] Salam Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab. 00:27:50.892 --> 00:27:53.412 [Zahid Gulkhan] My question is that 00:27:53.412 --> 00:27:55.646 if someone wishes to become an Aalim of Deen, 00:27:55.646 --> 00:27:58.565 [Faisal] Zahid Sahab would you speak a little louder, please. 00:27:58.565 --> 00:28:00.185 [Zahid Gulkhan] My question is that 00:28:00.185 --> 00:28:02.280 if someone wishes to become an Aalim of Deen, 00:28:02.280 --> 00:28:04.353 then what should he do in places like India, 00:28:04.353 --> 00:28:06.905 as here, if someone wishes to become an Aalim of Deen 00:28:06.905 --> 00:28:09.829 then we have to go to a Madrasa of a particular Sect. 00:28:09.829 --> 00:28:13.821 However, if one wishes to study the Deen as a whole, 00:28:13.821 --> 00:28:19.711 then how is it possible, if you may suggest some Organization or method. 00:28:19.711 --> 00:28:22.457 [Ghamidi] You learn Arabic language from any place, 00:28:22.457 --> 00:28:27.134 have command over it to the best possible level, 00:28:27.134 --> 00:28:31.032 the knowledges and arts, which have the status of the legacy of the Muslims, 00:28:31.032 --> 00:28:34.984 learn the essential arts and sciences, 00:28:34.984 --> 00:28:37.869 those can be learned from independent tutors. 00:28:37.869 --> 00:28:40.866 That you may also learn from a Madrasa of Deen. 00:28:40.866 --> 00:28:44.545 Since as far as sciences and the arts are concerned, 00:28:44.545 --> 00:28:47.395 there isn't any question of sectarianism. 00:28:47.395 --> 00:28:51.819 After this comes the stage where the Quran or the Hadees is learned or taught. 00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:55.222 Therefore when we will have developed the fundamental capacity 00:28:55.222 --> 00:28:59.937 then we with our determination can study both these things, 00:28:59.937 --> 00:29:01.190 and understand them. 00:29:01.190 --> 00:29:03.631 This methodology has been adopted by many scholars, 00:29:03.631 --> 00:29:06.398 we too have adopted the same methodologies. 00:29:06.398 --> 00:29:09.203 So you may follow them as well. 00:29:09.203 --> 00:29:11.101 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 00:29:11.101 --> 00:29:14.788 Let me just remind you that the names that 00:29:14.788 --> 00:29:16.790 are there in the profile of ASK GHAMIDI, 00:29:16.790 --> 00:29:18.800 the same name should be displayed on Zoom, 00:29:18.800 --> 00:29:23.000 if those names aren't displayed so you may Rename them. 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.883 If your names are different then I would not know 00:29:25.883 --> 00:29:27.662 whether you have logged in or not, 00:29:27.662 --> 00:29:30.816 hence there is the possibility of your name being skipped by me. 00:29:30.816 --> 00:29:33.963 Hence whatever name is there in the profile for ASK GHAMIDI, 00:29:33.963 --> 00:29:36.211 the same name should be displayed in Zoom too. 00:29:36.211 --> 00:29:38.420 The next question is from Usman Sadat Sahab. 00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:41.341 Usman Sahab you may ask your question. 00:29:41.341 --> 00:29:44.484 [Usman Sadat] As Salam Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab. 00:29:44.484 --> 00:29:47.288 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 00:29:47.288 --> 00:29:49.675 [Usman Sadat] Sir, in your Tafseer Al Bayan, 00:29:49.675 --> 00:29:52.280 'Ar Rahmanir Rahim' the Ayah of Surah Fatiha, 00:29:52.280 --> 00:29:56.437 the meaning as given by Islahi Sahab which you have quoted, 00:29:56.437 --> 00:29:58.608 then according to him, he has written that 00:29:58.608 --> 00:30:01.546 in the vigor of Rahmaniat, He hasn't just Created this world, 00:30:01.546 --> 00:30:04.148 rather He wasn't even unmindful of its Guardianship. 00:30:04.148 --> 00:30:07.825 Hence, Sir, if we consider this Universe to be the creation of human beings 00:30:07.825 --> 00:30:11.231 and talk then it is understandable that human being becomes emotional, 00:30:11.231 --> 00:30:14.479 however, that Lord who is free from all such emotions and feelings, 00:30:14.479 --> 00:30:16.652 is it appropriate to use such words for Him? 00:30:16.652 --> 00:30:19.829 Hence the meaning which he has elaborated, 00:30:19.829 --> 00:30:22.317 are those automatically meant by the words 00:30:22.317 --> 00:30:26.655 or this formation of argument is as per their understanding? Thank you. 00:30:26.655 --> 00:30:30.712 [Ghamidi] The image of Allah which the Quran has given, 00:30:30.712 --> 00:30:36.359 is that of a live, permanent, lasting being. 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:43.893 There Allah (swt) expresses His Anger, Love, kindness. 00:30:43.893 --> 00:30:49.077 An Entity comes forth in front of us, which is Living and to say that 00:30:49.077 --> 00:30:53.149 Allah (swt) is an Entity that transcends all emotions, 00:30:53.149 --> 00:30:55.446 then it would become the law of philosophers 00:30:55.446 --> 00:30:57.728 or 'Illat -ul- Ilal' (Prime Mover). 00:30:57.728 --> 00:31:00.826 Allah (swt) has expressed His sentiments in the Quran. 00:31:00.826 --> 00:31:06.381 And has used the same words which are normally used among us. 00:31:06.381 --> 00:31:09.339 Albeit, what is the nature of the sentiments 00:31:09.339 --> 00:31:11.407 and how do they arise, among us obviously 00:31:11.407 --> 00:31:16.107 those are quite imperfect, Allah (swt) is above this imperfection. 00:31:16.107 --> 00:31:20.189 However, he is a living Entity, if you study the Quran sometimes, 00:31:20.189 --> 00:31:27.241 then in multiple places, Allah (swt) has attributed this adjective to Himself, 00:31:27.241 --> 00:31:30.711 Allah has said that He (swt) hates that person very much. 00:31:30.711 --> 00:31:36.030 Or "He hates him" or "He loves it". So all these terms which are used 00:31:36.030 --> 00:31:42.225 for the expression of emotions, have been used for Allah (swt) in the Quran. 00:31:42.225 --> 00:31:47.228 There is no doubt in it, as far as the opinion is concerned that 00:31:47.228 --> 00:31:50.751 what does the word 'Rahman' signifies, 00:31:50.751 --> 00:31:57.714 is not an issue of understanding, rather the Arabic language makes it obvious. 00:31:57.714 --> 00:32:01.430 i.e. whatever are the adjectives that exist in this form 00:32:01.430 --> 00:32:05.412 there this intensity and passion is found, 00:32:05.412 --> 00:32:08.760 that we may convert into a suitable word, 00:32:08.760 --> 00:32:11.766 if there arises some misunderstanding with the word 'emotion', 00:32:11.766 --> 00:32:16.673 then we may substitute it with passion, excitement, or fury, 00:32:16.673 --> 00:32:22.543 or any term, hence the words that have been used by Allah (swt) for Himself, 00:32:22.543 --> 00:32:25.490 if we look at them from the point of view of attributes, 00:32:25.490 --> 00:32:28.073 are the same which we use for human beings. 00:32:28.073 --> 00:32:31.655 And the words that are chosen for deeds are also the same. 00:32:31.655 --> 00:32:34.111 Those which are used for human beings. 00:32:34.111 --> 00:32:38.086 Hence there is no harm in it. Why has this been done? 00:32:38.086 --> 00:32:42.643 Since we do not have the ability to imagine anything beyond it. 00:32:42.643 --> 00:32:47.143 Hence our deeds, our attributes have been allegorically employed 00:32:47.143 --> 00:32:51.209 to enable us to form a concept. And along with it, 00:32:51.209 --> 00:32:52.845 the warning has been given that 00:32:52.845 --> 00:32:55.841 these are 'Mutaashabihaat' (Meaning only known to Allah). 00:32:55.841 --> 00:32:58.826 Do not speculate Allah's qualities based on your concepts. 00:32:58.826 --> 00:33:02.411 However, just for understanding, I have used the method of simile, 00:33:02.411 --> 00:33:06.375 which would enable you to form a concept of your own. 00:33:06.375 --> 00:33:09.768 Hence, we are compelled to use the same words, 00:33:09.768 --> 00:33:12.460 we do not have any other option other than it, 00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:16.212 although we will clearly tell, "Laisa Kamislihi Shai". 00:33:16.212 --> 00:33:20.909 No thing is like Allah at all. 00:33:20.909 --> 00:33:22.652 [Faisal] Thank you Ghamidi Sahab. 00:33:22.652 --> 00:33:26.237 We go on to the next question. The next question is of Mashud Irfan Sahab. 00:33:26.237 --> 00:33:29.894 Mashud Sahab your Mic. is unmuted, you may go ahead with your question. 00:33:29.894 --> 00:33:32.164 [Mashud Irfan] Salam Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab. 00:33:32.164 --> 00:33:33.777 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 00:33:33.777 --> 00:33:36.154 [Mashud Irfan] Hope that you are hale and hearty. 00:33:36.154 --> 00:33:38.532 My question is related to the Law for Inheritance. 00:33:38.532 --> 00:33:41.083 And the question is we are aware that 00:33:41.083 --> 00:33:42.507 when there are offsprings 00:33:42.507 --> 00:33:45.509 as well as brothers and sisters of the deceased, 00:33:45.509 --> 00:33:47.822 then the parents share is one-sixth, 00:33:47.822 --> 00:33:51.967 however, if both are not alive then the father's share is two-third, 00:33:51.967 --> 00:33:55.125 and the mother's share is one-third. And we know that 00:33:55.125 --> 00:33:58.749 the basis given by Allah (swt) for Law of inheritance, 00:33:58.749 --> 00:34:01.100 is 'Aqrabun Nafa', hence what is the reason that 00:34:01.100 --> 00:34:03.675 in one situation the share of parents is equal 00:34:03.675 --> 00:34:07.719 and in the other situation, the share of the father doubles 00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:09.468 in comparison to the mother. 00:34:09.468 --> 00:34:11.981 And in the end, I would like to say that 00:34:11.981 --> 00:34:14.666 we sincerely love you and your efforts 00:34:14.666 --> 00:34:17.833 and always make Dua to Allah to bestow you with the best of rewards 00:34:17.833 --> 00:34:20.194 and let this noble work continue uninterruptedly. 00:34:20.194 --> 00:34:20.856 Amen, Salamalaikum. 00:34:20.856 --> 00:34:22.112 [Ghamidi] Thank you very much. 00:34:22.112 --> 00:34:29.525 If you think a little, this point will be self-evident, like when we have offspring 00:34:29.525 --> 00:34:34.728 then all our deepest feelings, wants and desires are related to him. 00:34:34.728 --> 00:34:38.817 We see the future and believe that that strength 00:34:38.817 --> 00:34:42.484 that we are to acquire has been achieved through offsprings. 00:34:42.484 --> 00:34:45.389 If the offsprings are not there, then the same status 00:34:45.389 --> 00:34:48.873 is assumed by brothers and sisters. However, if neither the offsprings 00:34:48.873 --> 00:34:54.305 nor the brothers and sisters are there, then everything transfers to the parents. 00:34:54.305 --> 00:34:56.661 And those responsibilities which the offsprings 00:34:56.661 --> 00:34:58.406 or the brothers and sisters were to assume, 00:34:58.406 --> 00:35:01.682 if you ponder a little then the same responsibilities are entrusted 00:35:01.682 --> 00:35:04.766 according to the proximity of the benefts, to the father. 00:35:04.766 --> 00:35:10.217 Hence, the nature of the share has been made similar to that of the offspring. 00:35:10.217 --> 00:35:12.593 [Faisal] Thank you, Ghamidi Sahab. 00:35:12.593 --> 00:35:14.724 We take on the next question. 00:35:14.724 --> 00:35:18.286 The next question is from Fatima Khadijah Sahiba. 00:35:18.286 --> 00:35:24.128 Fatima Sahiba your Mic. is unmuted, do go ahead with the question. 00:35:29.138 --> 00:35:37.307 [Faisal] You will have a pop-up display where you have to unmute yourself. 00:35:42.487 --> 00:35:52.116 We move along, the next question that we have is from Saira Qureshi Sahiba. 00:35:52.116 --> 00:35:56.638 Saira Sahiba I am unmuting your Mic. please go ahead with your question. 00:35:58.364 --> 00:36:00.427 [Saira Qureshi] Yes, Salam Alaikum. 00:36:00.427 --> 00:36:02.172 [Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 00:36:02.172 --> 00:36:06.621 [Saira Qureshi] I have to ask is what is the difference between Iblees and Satan? 00:36:06.621 --> 00:36:09.268 Are they one and the same or are they different? 00:36:09.268 --> 00:36:14.225 Or is the Iblees just one or is it in multiple numbers? 00:36:14.225 --> 00:36:17.037 If it is single then how come that he is misleading 00:36:17.037 --> 00:36:19.867 all the human beings of the world simultaneously, 00:36:19.867 --> 00:36:22.451 or does he possess an especial ability for it? 00:36:22.451 --> 00:36:24.674 Or if the Iblees exist in multiple numbers, 00:36:24.674 --> 00:36:28.662 then had all these multiple numbers declined to prostrate before Adam? 00:36:28.662 --> 00:36:30.797 Thank you very much? 00:36:32.346 --> 00:36:36.189 [Ghamidi] Iblees is the title of Azazeel. 00:36:36.189 --> 00:36:42.840 i.e. the Jinn that refused to prostrate before Adam. 00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:51.629 He was just a single Jinn, Allah (swt) punished him for this refusal, 00:36:51.629 --> 00:36:57.147 as a consequence of it, he became more arrogant and stood in challenge. 00:36:57.147 --> 00:37:04.523 Therefore, he asked for time, to continue his mission. 00:37:04.523 --> 00:37:10.621 Hence he keeps seeking followers in the same way, as the leaders do. 00:37:10.621 --> 00:37:15.238 Hence the Quran has elaborated in another place that 00:37:15.238 --> 00:37:18.273 he and his Race is carrying on with this work. 00:37:18.273 --> 00:37:23.901 i.e. his followers, his offsprings, and those who tread the path shown by him. 00:37:23.901 --> 00:37:29.524 Iblees is just one. Whether he is alive or dead we cannot say anything about it. 00:37:29.524 --> 00:37:33.857 However, he continues his mission through his colleagues. 00:37:33.857 --> 00:37:41.058 He never appears everywhere rather, those Satans or rebellious people 00:37:41.058 --> 00:37:45.865 who are his followers whether they are among the Jinns or human beings, 00:37:45.865 --> 00:37:48.157 they are the associates for his mission. 00:37:48.157 --> 00:37:50.952 This too has been elaborated by the Quran itself, 00:37:50.952 --> 00:37:55.627 There it has been said, "Innahu Yarakum Hua Wa Qabilubhu", 00:37:55.627 --> 00:38:01.832 he and his fraternity, and in Surah Naas, is said, "Minal Jinnati Wannaas", 00:38:01.832 --> 00:38:05.632 that his disciples are among the humans as well as among the Jin. 00:38:05.632 --> 00:38:09.057 Like the missions of people continue in the world, 00:38:09.057 --> 00:38:11.267 in the same way, his mission continues, 00:38:11.267 --> 00:38:13.920 and his disciples, colleagues, and the people 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:18.804 who are involved in Satanic activities among Jinn and the human beings 00:38:18.804 --> 00:38:21.539 who are doing this work and have been doing it ever since 00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:25.457 the world came into existence and shall continue with it till Qiyamah, 00:38:25.457 --> 00:38:28.474 as that is the allowed respite for him. 00:38:28.474 --> 00:38:32.817 The word of Satan is in a way an adjective, 00:38:32.817 --> 00:38:36.486 it can be used for every rebel, it may also be used for 00:38:36.486 --> 00:38:42.887 human beings and for Jinn too, it may be spoken in the singular 00:38:42.887 --> 00:38:47.152 as well as for dozens of people, this word has been used 00:38:47.152 --> 00:38:50.075 for the human beings too in the Quran itself. 00:38:50.075 --> 00:38:53.409 The rebels among Jinn, for them, it has been used too. 00:38:53.409 --> 00:38:57.077 And most importantly, it has been used for the Iblees as well. 00:38:57.077 --> 00:39:01.163 Hence, Satan is not the name of just one creature, 00:39:01.163 --> 00:39:04.848 rather, for any creature who become rebellious, 00:39:04.848 --> 00:39:07.955 it is an adjective, which may be used for him. 00:39:07.955 --> 00:39:11.264 Albeit Iblees is the title of Azazeel. 00:39:12.434 --> 00:39:14.143 [Faisal] Thank you, Ghamidi Sahab. 00:39:14.143 --> 00:39:19.081 The next question is from my namesake Faisal Ahmed Sahab. 00:39:19.081 --> 00:39:23.800 Faisal Sahab I am unmuting your Mic.

My query with you is 00:42:07.326 --> 00:42:10.756 like there isn't any original Scripture available of the Quran, 00:42:10.756 --> 00:42:14.005 which would have been written during the times of the Prophet (pbuh), 00:42:14.005 --> 00:42:16.398 then the point that comes to mind is 00:42:16.398 --> 00:42:19.009 whether the original Scriptures of Torah, Psalms, 00:42:19.009 --> 00:42:20.707 and the Bible are available 00:42:20.707 --> 00:42:24.756 or these too exist through the process of 'Ijma' and 'Tawatur'? 00:42:24.756 --> 00:42:28.447 Since your point of view is that the Divine Scriptures 00:42:28.447 --> 00:42:32.395 are available in their pure form, and the changes that 00:42:32.395 --> 00:42:35.280 have taken place are only in the historical records. 00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:36.820 Kindly do explain this point. 00:42:36.820 --> 00:42:39.058 And secondly, in brief, please tell me 00:42:39.058 --> 00:42:43.628 when will your Program "Zaawia-e Ghamidi" start once again? 00:42:43.628 --> 00:42:45.456 Thank you very much , Sir. 00:42:45.976 --> 00:42:50.864 [Ghamidi] Zaawia-e Ghamidi used to be a Program for the youth, 00:42:50.864 --> 00:42:55.603 when I used to go to Pakistan, we used to have those sessions. 00:42:55.603 --> 00:43:00.112 And its name had been given Zaawia-e Ghamidi by that organization. 00:43:00.112 --> 00:43:02.530 Now if I ever go back Insha Allah ul Aziz, 00:43:02.530 --> 00:43:06.415 as presently all travelling is restricted due to Covid, 00:43:06.415 --> 00:43:09.270 then it is hoped that we shall meet them again 00:43:09.270 --> 00:43:12.594 and hopefully, some more discussions would be communicated 00:43:12.594 --> 00:43:18.352 likewise by them. It wasn't any specific program of mine. 00:43:18.352 --> 00:43:22.141 Please repeat the first part of your question? 00:43:23.181 --> 00:43:28.288 [Osama Ahmed] Sir, the original Scripture of the Quran is not available. 00:43:28.288 --> 00:43:31.123 Then are the Psalms, Torah, and the Bible 00:43:31.123 --> 00:43:33.478 do they exist in their original Scripture, 00:43:33.478 --> 00:43:34.921 i.e. which was written 00:43:34.921 --> 00:43:37.577 at the time when Hazrat Isa or Hazrat Musa had come. 00:43:37.577 --> 00:43:39.636 Is there any such Scripture available? 00:43:39.636 --> 00:43:43.989 Or these too, are communicated to us through the process of Ijma and Tawatur? 00:43:43.989 --> 00:43:48.033 as the extent to which I understand, the Christians and the Jews 00:43:48.033 --> 00:43:51.514 do not memorize them as the Muslims do? 00:43:51.514 --> 00:43:54.965 So if this isn't the possibility, how then these Scriptures 00:43:54.965 --> 00:44:01.035 are available in their pure form apart from the historical records, 00:44:01.035 --> 00:44:04.008 which according to you have gone through changes? Sir. 00:44:04.966 --> 00:44:08.067 [Ghamidi] The history that is available to us, 00:44:08.067 --> 00:44:10.271 we can form opinions based upon them. 00:44:10.271 --> 00:44:14.470 The words in which the Quran was revealed, 00:44:14.470 --> 00:44:19.182 exactly in the same arrangement as given by Allah, 00:44:19.182 --> 00:44:24.331 people memorized it, and the people started to write it as well. 00:44:24.331 --> 00:44:28.438 The Prophet (pbuh) came to this world in the light of history. 00:44:28.438 --> 00:44:33.704 The people all around were aware that a Prophet of Allah 00:44:33.704 --> 00:44:38.724 has established a Sultanate, after him, that Sultanate extended 00:44:38.724 --> 00:44:41.911 its boundaries to a large part of the world, 00:44:41.911 --> 00:44:46.037 and then its continuity and succession was preserved. 00:44:46.037 --> 00:44:48.886 So the situation here is this. 00:44:48.886 --> 00:44:52.173 While to the extent the Bani Israel are concerned, 00:44:52.173 --> 00:44:56.666 they had secured their history through writing their records and books. 00:44:56.666 --> 00:45:01.139 And all of those are present in the collection of the Bible. 00:45:01.139 --> 00:45:05.043 We may refer to them. However, their original language 00:45:05.043 --> 00:45:08.755 or which we call as original Script, regarding them, 00:45:08.755 --> 00:45:12.179 the researchers put forth their opinions, 00:45:12.179 --> 00:45:15.248 if we wish to study them in brief then go through 00:45:15.248 --> 00:45:20.574 the chapter of 'Belief in Books' in my book Meezan. 00:45:20.574 --> 00:45:23.285 There I have stated these points. We do not have them 00:45:23.285 --> 00:45:28.429 in their original form. Albeit this is quite clear that 00:45:28.429 --> 00:45:31.082 they had been preserved in manuscript and transmitted from 00:45:31.082 --> 00:45:33.376 generation to generation in the same way, 00:45:33.376 --> 00:45:36.359 as the Quran has been transmitted. 00:45:36.359 --> 00:45:40.869 i.e. the way implies that as it gets transmitted now in written form. 00:45:40.869 --> 00:45:43.749 This is what we see in the collection of the Bible. 00:45:43.749 --> 00:45:49.584 Their original texts became extinct in some period, 00:45:49.584 --> 00:45:52.310 And now their translations exist. 00:45:52.310 --> 00:45:54.485 These are the translations that we see now. 00:45:54.485 --> 00:45:58.600 In English, and in Hebrew, and in Greek as well, all these are the translations. 00:45:58.600 --> 00:46:02.406 Like the translation of the Quran started being done in the very beginning, 00:46:02.406 --> 00:46:05.390 and in a lot many languages the translations are available, 00:46:05.390 --> 00:46:07.513 hence there too, the translations are there. 00:46:07.513 --> 00:46:09.692 When the translations come to us, 00:46:09.692 --> 00:46:12.629 and the whereabouts of the original scripts 00:46:12.629 --> 00:46:17.080 when we research into history we come to know, 00:46:17.080 --> 00:46:23.786 that with Syedna Isa A.S. it happened that he could not arrange its written form 00:46:23.786 --> 00:46:28.980 i.e. the people had just begun to start writing it based upon their memory, 00:46:28.980 --> 00:46:31.677 and the stage of arranging was not reached 00:46:31.677 --> 00:46:34.121 like the Quran was arranged by the Prophet (pbuh) 00:46:34.121 --> 00:46:38.579 in the last two years in accordance to the Guidance of Allah. 00:46:38.579 --> 00:46:41.328 And then the Qiraat took place of Arza-e Akhiraa, 00:46:41.328 --> 00:46:44.429 and then it was handed over to a Sultanate, 00:46:44.429 --> 00:46:47.612 which would take care of the work of publishing it across the world. 00:46:47.612 --> 00:46:49.103 All this never happened there, 00:46:49.103 --> 00:46:53.845 so his apostles transmitted those narrations in two's and four's 00:46:53.845 --> 00:46:56.286 and then the people of the later times, 00:46:56.286 --> 00:46:58.224 in the methodology of writing Seerah, 00:46:58.224 --> 00:47:02.724 like the Hadees are written among us, wrote in that manner. 00:47:02.724 --> 00:47:06.305 The tragedy with Torah has been that twice its pages 00:47:06.305 --> 00:47:11.407 were destroyed into smithereens. People took it away, 00:47:11.407 --> 00:47:13.987 the Bani Israel was made into slaves. 00:47:13.987 --> 00:47:16.186 There had been subjected to great misery, 00:47:16.186 --> 00:47:18.721 its mention is there in Surah Bani Israel, 00:47:18.721 --> 00:47:21.951 so obviously when all these stages have occurred in their history. 00:47:21.951 --> 00:47:25.582 and the age also is generally pre-historic, 00:47:25.582 --> 00:47:28.840 now this is to be asked from them, 00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:33.359 presently, we do not have any original text at the world level. 00:47:33.359 --> 00:47:36.869 They also do not claim this. All these are just translations. 00:47:40.459 --> 00:47:42.614 [Faisal] Thank you very much, Sir. 00:47:42.614 --> 00:47:45.646 We move ahead, the next question is from Asdar Sahab, 00:47:45.646 --> 00:47:47.536 Asdar Sahab I am unmuting your Mic., 00:47:47.536 --> 00:47:49.617 you may ask your question. 00:47:54.617 --> 00:47:56.746 [Asdar] Salam Alaikum, my question is 00:47:56.746 --> 00:48:00.127 before adopting a physical existence, 00:48:00.127 --> 00:48:03.948 does the spirit has any gender or when it enters a body, 00:48:03.948 --> 00:48:07.825 accordingly, it adopts a gender. i.e. when the spirit enters a body, 00:48:07.825 --> 00:48:12.838 in the body, it grows and gets mature and strong. 00:48:12.838 --> 00:48:17.479 And if it is so, then does this process stop after death, 00:48:17.479 --> 00:48:22.786 i.e. when a minor dies, so that spirit remains a minor forever? 00:48:22.786 --> 00:48:26.558 And the second thing is, as it is possible nowadays 00:48:26.558 --> 00:48:30.790 if someone changes his/her sex, then what effect will it have on the spirit? 00:48:30.790 --> 00:48:32.569 Thank you. 00:48:32.569 --> 00:48:36.148 [Ghamidi] The information that we human beings have till now, 00:48:36.148 --> 00:48:41.445 we guess from it that attributes of feminity 00:48:41.445 --> 00:48:45.492 or masculinity is in the personality, you call it spirit or soul, 00:48:45.492 --> 00:48:49.987 whatever we like, its expression takes place in the body 00:48:49.987 --> 00:48:53.317 and the matter of changing the sex is similar, 00:48:53.317 --> 00:48:55.555 i.e. the body is not compatible, 00:48:55.555 --> 00:49:00.996 and at times through a surgical procedure that compatibility is developed. 00:49:00.996 --> 00:49:04.236 That the real personality as it is apparent 00:49:04.236 --> 00:49:08.649 from the psychological as well as from the scientific studies. 00:49:08.649 --> 00:49:13.192 As nothing has been said from Allah (swt) in this regard, 00:49:13.192 --> 00:49:15.841 hence nothing can be said with finality. 00:49:15.841 --> 00:49:19.636 However, from the studies that we do or experience 00:49:19.636 --> 00:49:22.862 from that it is apparent that all these attributes 00:49:22.862 --> 00:49:27.534 and the awareness is found in the personality itself. 00:49:27.534 --> 00:49:29.663 The body is given to it accordingly. 00:49:29.663 --> 00:49:33.038 [Faisal] Thank you, Sir. 00:49:33.038 --> 00:49:35.644 The next question we have is from Abdullah Rihan. 00:49:35.644 --> 00:49:38.603 Abdullah Rihan Sahab your Mic. is unmuted, 00:49:38.603 --> 00:49:40.568 please go ahead with your question. 00:49:40.568 --> 00:49:43.063 [Abdullah Rihan] Salam Alaikum 00:49:43.063 --> 00:49:45.872 My question pertains to the application 00:49:45.872 --> 00:49:48.972 of the Law of Itmam-e Hujjat (The Completion of God's proof) 00:49:48.972 --> 00:49:51.038 That when the followers of Syedna Isa A.S. 00:49:51.038 --> 00:49:55.085 were given supremacy over those who had not accepted him, 00:49:55.085 --> 00:49:59.260 then for those Jews on whom Syedna Isa A.S. himself 00:49:59.260 --> 00:50:01.880 had not completed the Final Argument, 00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:07.825 why the application of the punishment of Allah (swt) continues on them? 00:50:10.305 --> 00:50:13.499 [Ghamidi] The first basic point should be understood that 00:50:13.499 --> 00:50:18.999 the Itmam-e Hujjat done by Syedna Isa A.S. 00:50:18.999 --> 00:50:23.990 as a consequence of it, two things were decided in the law. 00:50:23.990 --> 00:50:27.462 For all the Prophets, these two points are fixed. 00:50:27.462 --> 00:50:31.151 One is, that the people with Iman would get Salvation, 00:50:31.151 --> 00:50:35.536 i.e. the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions will achieve Salvation. 00:50:35.536 --> 00:50:39.115 "Nunjil Mumineen". The Quran delivers it in this manner. 00:50:39.115 --> 00:50:45.430 And those people who are deniers, on them, the Torment will be rained. 00:50:45.430 --> 00:50:48.794 Regarding the Prophet, the Law has been decreed that 00:50:48.794 --> 00:50:53.703 the execution of the Judgement can be in both forms, 00:50:53.703 --> 00:50:56.027 i.e. in the presence of the Prophet (pbuh) 00:50:56.027 --> 00:51:02.394 and after the death of the Prophet. i.e. after he is rescued and following it. 00:51:02.394 --> 00:51:04.497 The Quran has worded this too. 00:51:04.497 --> 00:51:09.142 "Imma Nuriyannaka Ba'azal Lazee Naaiduhum Au Natawaffi annak" 00:51:09.142 --> 00:51:13.425 i.e. either I will send this in your presence or 00:51:13.425 --> 00:51:16.479 I will award you death and post it, they will be taken care of. 00:51:16.479 --> 00:51:18.493 There are just two punishments. 00:51:18.493 --> 00:51:22.325 Either Capital punishment or the punishment of Subordination. 00:51:22.325 --> 00:51:25.645 Hence the Bani Israel were given the punishment of Subordination, 00:51:25.645 --> 00:51:28.574 i.e. those people who had denied Isa A.S. 00:51:28.574 --> 00:51:34.580 And this punishment was meted out to them in the form of the attack of the Romans. 00:51:34.580 --> 00:51:39.533 They were left totally subjugated, and their whole earlier status ended. 00:51:39.533 --> 00:51:44.350 They were ousted from that position which they had been enjoying. 00:51:44.350 --> 00:51:46.909 Initially, this subordination was of the nature that 00:51:46.909 --> 00:51:49.888 on half of the part things were in their control, 00:51:49.888 --> 00:51:52.006 however, everything was ended, 00:51:52.006 --> 00:51:56.095 very severe punishment was meted to them in 70 C.E. 00:51:56.095 --> 00:52:02.440 and as far as we know, Syedna Isa A.S. had lived up to 50 years 00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:04.452 as we come to know from the Bible, 00:52:04.452 --> 00:52:08.134 then within 10 -20 years of his ascent from the world 00:52:08.134 --> 00:52:12.867 this severe punishment was given to them. 00:52:14.097 --> 00:52:17.592 This is the other aspect of it. i.e. who is Bani Israel? 00:52:17.592 --> 00:52:21.873 Bani Israel was the chosen nation of Allah. 00:52:21.873 --> 00:52:26.301 Bani Israel is not the nation of Aad or Samud, 00:52:26.301 --> 00:52:29.669 when they denied accepting Hazrat Isa, i.e. Bani Israel, 00:52:29.669 --> 00:52:35.571 then for themselves, there has been a law decreed which exists in the Torah, 00:52:35.571 --> 00:52:40.531 according to it the whole nation has been punished till Qiyamah, 00:52:40.531 --> 00:52:43.657 if they wish to come out of that damnation, 00:52:43.657 --> 00:52:47.727 then the moment every Jew reaches the age of maturity, 00:52:47.727 --> 00:52:52.353 if he attends to the injustice and rebellion of the past, 00:52:52.353 --> 00:52:55.913 then he/she would come out of it. This is the Decree of Allah (swt). 00:52:55.913 --> 00:53:00.191 When the nations are punished, it is done in this manner. 00:53:00.191 --> 00:53:02.748 The people who will be born in that nation, 00:53:02.748 --> 00:53:05.460 when they will reach the age of maturity, 00:53:05.460 --> 00:53:08.412 they have to adopt means to ward off that punishment. 00:53:08.412 --> 00:53:10.655 Otherwise, that would be continuously be given 00:53:10.655 --> 00:53:12.657 from generation to generation. 00:53:13.517 --> 00:53:15.591 [Abdullah Rihan] Thank you. 00:53:15.591 --> 00:53:19.794 [Faisal] The next question is of Abdur Rahman Mughal Sahab, 00:53:19.794 --> 00:53:22.309 Abdur Rahman Sahab your Mic. is being unmuted, 00:53:22.309 --> 00:53:24.225 you may ask your question. 00:53:29.325 --> 00:53:30.707 [Abdur Rahman] As Salam Alaikum. 00:53:30.707 --> 00:53:32.883 [Faisal] Wa Alaikum As Salam 00:53:32.883 --> 00:53:37.026 [Abdur Rahman] The question was that I have understood this from your lectures 00:53:37.026 --> 00:53:39.847 like in Surah Sajda you said that 00:53:39.847 --> 00:53:44.867 first the animal existence of the human beings came into existence. 00:53:44.867 --> 00:53:48.046 That chain continued and after that Hazrat Adam 00:53:48.046 --> 00:53:51.354 was chosen and the soul of a human was blown into him. 00:53:51.354 --> 00:53:55.296 Hence the question here was that in another place in Surah Aal-e Imran, 00:53:55.296 --> 00:53:59.422 Allah (swt) said that the example of the Creation of Isa A.S. 00:53:59.422 --> 00:54:02.304 is the same as that of Adam A.S. 00:54:02.304 --> 00:54:05.940 Hence isn't there an apparent contradiction, please tell me about it? 00:54:05.940 --> 00:54:09.895 The second is that you said that Adam A.S. wasn't ousted from Jannah, 00:54:09.895 --> 00:54:12.257 it would perhaps be a garden in this world. 00:54:12.257 --> 00:54:15.055 So you haven't written any proper detail of it, 00:54:15.055 --> 00:54:16.952 so please elaborate upon it? 00:54:16.952 --> 00:54:20.849 [Ghamidi] i.e. what is the reason to consider it a garden of Paradise? 00:54:20.849 --> 00:54:25.504 When Allah (swt) is telling that the body was made ready inside the Earth. 00:54:25.504 --> 00:54:27.488 It passed through so and so stages. 00:54:27.488 --> 00:54:31.990 "After that, I gave birth to you here". In another place is described in detail 00:54:31.990 --> 00:54:35.905 that "I unearthed you from this soil and into it you will go". 00:54:35.905 --> 00:54:38.606 "From here only you will have risen in Qiyamah". 00:54:38.606 --> 00:54:42.162 Then which Paradise? Paradise is yet to come into existence. 00:54:42.162 --> 00:54:44.865 regarding Jannah, Allah (swt) has stated that 00:54:44.865 --> 00:54:49.243 after the destruction of this world, the material that is scattered all around, 00:54:49.243 --> 00:54:56.810 the material that you see, will be accumulated to form Jannah. 00:54:56.810 --> 00:54:59.860 Hence there is no reason at all to consider that Jannah 00:54:59.860 --> 00:55:03.659 as the Jannah which human beings would be given. 00:55:03.659 --> 00:55:05.682 The word of Jannah in the Arabic language 00:55:05.682 --> 00:55:07.581 and in the Quran, in multiple places, 00:55:07.581 --> 00:55:09.553 has been used for the garden. 00:55:09.553 --> 00:55:12.993 Hence it is used even for that Jannah and there too it means the Garden. 00:55:12.993 --> 00:55:18.519 Gardens has been the term used. So this justification 00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:20.895 should be given by those people who consider him 00:55:20.895 --> 00:55:22.892 to be in some Heavenly Paradise 00:55:22.892 --> 00:55:26.098 otherwise, in multiple places in the Quran it has been explained 00:55:26.098 --> 00:55:30.065 that he was born in this world, here only the soul was blown, 00:55:30.065 --> 00:55:32.000 and all the matters occurred here. 00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:34.741 And the picture that has been drawn in Surah Taha, 00:55:34.741 --> 00:55:39.072 clearly tells that it was a place in this world, 00:55:39.072 --> 00:55:41.873 and it would be such a place where the human being 00:55:41.873 --> 00:55:45.391 can initiate his life, since the human intellect 00:55:45.391 --> 00:55:49.119 and awareness has to take effect gradually. 00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:51.772 And after that the inventions would take place, 00:55:51.772 --> 00:55:55.438 dresses would be worn, and then the facilities would develop. 00:55:55.438 --> 00:55:58.437 Hence it should have been any such region where those 00:55:58.437 --> 00:56:01.745 things are provided for which have been stated in Surah Taha, 00:56:01.745 --> 00:56:06.674 "Annaka La Tajua Fiha Wala Tara Wala Tazmau Fiha Wala Tazha". 00:56:06.674 --> 00:56:11.068 i.e. there would be such weather which would be absolutely moderate, 00:56:11.068 --> 00:56:14.185 neither the thirst will disturb nor the sun would shine intensely, 00:56:14.185 --> 00:56:16.137 the different foods would be available, 00:56:16.137 --> 00:56:19.321 and the beginning obviously would be with fruits, 00:56:19.321 --> 00:56:22.859 or in later periods the human beings would be hunting the animals. 00:56:22.859 --> 00:56:25.826 So that is the picture in which i too see all this. 00:56:25.826 --> 00:56:28.986 According to me, the arguments should be given by the people 00:56:28.986 --> 00:56:31.691 who as they saw the word Jannah, 00:56:31.691 --> 00:56:34.386 and in spite of seeing that this word has been used 00:56:34.386 --> 00:56:36.658 in multiple places in the Quran for the garden. 00:56:36.658 --> 00:56:41.187 For Jannah, the word 'garden' has been appropriated and used. 00:56:41.187 --> 00:56:44.517 It is not that this word's original meaning is Jannah. 00:56:44.517 --> 00:56:48.202 For Jannah, the specific words that are used are different. 00:56:48.202 --> 00:56:51.289 And they haven't been used here. Hence according to me, 00:56:51.289 --> 00:56:55.366 this is the appropriate explanation and this is quite justified. 00:56:55.366 --> 00:56:58.877 Regarding the first part of your question I would like to state that 00:56:58.877 --> 00:57:02.012 the point made there is that this human being 00:57:02.012 --> 00:57:06.512 that had started from Adam A.S. how had it come into existence? 00:57:06.512 --> 00:57:09.816 i.e. was it the father and mother in the beginning? 00:57:09.816 --> 00:57:14.145 Hence the whole process has been indicated that we created from soil, 00:57:14.145 --> 00:57:18.100 "Khalaqa Hum Min Turab", We had started its Creation from Soil, 00:57:18.100 --> 00:57:22.132 And note how We took him through different stages for giving him birth, 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. 00:57:27.436 --> 00:57:30.552 Hence, according to me, this is what is implied by that allegory. 00:57:30.552 --> 00:57:32.835 [Faisal] Thank you very much, Sir. 00:57:32.835 --> 00:57:35.526 We go on to the next question, the next question is from 00:57:35.526 --> 00:57:37.882 Shakir Muhammad Sahab. 00:57:37.882 --> 00:57:41.150 Shakir Sahab your Mic. is being unmuted, you may ask your question. 00:57:41.150 --> 00:57:44.016 [Shakir Muhammad] AsSalam Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab. 00:57:44.016 --> 00:57:48.207 My question is in relation to the Shariah of Allah. 00:57:48.207 --> 00:57:54.583 like it is said that the Shariah of Allah keeps changing with every Prophet, 00:57:54.583 --> 00:58:01.021 so along with it, the example is given like the way Musa A.S. 00:58:01.021 --> 00:58:04.852 married to two sisters simultaneously, 00:58:04.852 --> 00:58:07.997 and with the Prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) 00:58:07.997 --> 00:58:12.770 that possibility was Prohibited. 00:58:12.770 --> 00:58:16.306 Is this concept rightly understood as per the Shariah? 00:58:16.306 --> 00:58:18.824 As Salam Alaikum. [Faisal] Wa Alaikum As Salam. 00:58:18.824 --> 00:58:20.866 [Ghamidi] It hasn't been said anywhere 00:58:20.866 --> 00:58:23.124 that with each Prophet the Shariah changes. 00:58:23.124 --> 00:58:24.666 It has been said that 00:58:24.666 --> 00:58:27.703 that the nations that have been given the Shariah by Allah (swt) 00:58:27.703 --> 00:58:30.678 there are some changes that keep taking place with respect to 00:58:30.678 --> 00:58:33.566 the situation of the time and for sake of testing. 00:58:33.566 --> 00:58:37.690 It is not so. You see the Shariah which was given to Hazrat Musa 00:58:37.690 --> 00:58:40.280 The Sharia that was given to Bani Israel that 00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:43.108 was their Shariah for more or less two thousand years. 00:58:43.108 --> 00:58:47.929 There nobody made any changes in it. To the point, their last Prophet, Isa A.S. 00:58:47.929 --> 00:58:51.468 he also did not bring any new Shariah. 00:58:51.468 --> 00:58:55.448 So this point is not correct that with each Messenger the Shariah changes. 00:58:55.448 --> 00:58:59.055 As far as the point that the Shariah of the Torah 00:58:59.055 --> 00:59:03.964 which, presently, is with us, and that of the Quran 00:59:03.964 --> 00:59:08.101 there at least 90 to 95% complete conformity is found between them, 00:59:08.101 --> 00:59:10.299 there isn't any difference, 00:59:10.299 --> 00:59:12.619 where there are one or two inconformities, 00:59:12.619 --> 00:59:15.547 we cannot say conclusively that those have reached to us 00:59:15.547 --> 00:59:18.131 in their original form, or those have not reached us. 00:59:18.131 --> 00:59:20.485 Or there has been some change in them influenced 00:59:20.485 --> 00:59:24.011 by the opinions of some Fuqaha. When we see even our own Shariah 00:59:24.011 --> 00:59:27.373 which has been given by the Quran or given by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), 00:59:27.373 --> 00:59:29.420 so when those have been studied by the Fuqaha, 00:59:29.420 --> 00:59:32.995 a few things have entered into it, which is quite natural in human work, 00:59:32.995 --> 00:59:35.559 and which are not a part of the Shariah. 00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:39.693 Perhaps such a situation should also be assumed for them, 00:59:39.693 --> 00:59:43.007 except that there was something specific with Bani Israel 00:59:43.007 --> 00:59:46.476 and when something specific for Bani Israel is there 00:59:46.476 --> 00:59:48.943 it has been stated by the Quran itself. 00:59:48.943 --> 00:59:52.728 It has been stated in the Quran that they had been the chosen race of Allah, 00:59:52.728 --> 00:59:56.037 and being the chosen race, like for the Prophets, 00:59:56.037 --> 01:00:01.779 there are some specific Commands, for them too, there are some specific Commands. 01:00:03.239 --> 01:00:05.349 [Faisal] Thank you very much Ghamidi Sahab, 01:00:05.349 --> 01:00:11.118 this brings us to the end of today's session for ASK GHAMIDI LIVE, 01:00:11.118 --> 01:00:13.260 Once again I express my apology for those 01:00:13.260 --> 01:00:16.086 who had registered again but did not have their turn. 01:00:16.086 --> 01:00:18.450 InshaAllah it will be our sincere endeavor that 01:00:18.450 --> 01:00:20.913 this chain continues further, and you are provided 01:00:20.913 --> 01:00:23.921 an opportunity to register yourselves in ASK GHAMIDI APP 01:00:23.921 --> 01:00:28.776 to meet him and have the chance again to ask Ghamidi Sahab your questions. 01:00:28.776 --> 01:00:31.867 If you wish, you may also write your questions 01:00:31.867 --> 01:00:34.747 and post them on ASK GHAMIDI APP. 01:00:34.747 --> 01:00:39.375 We make a full effort to share with you the relevant video 01:00:39.375 --> 01:00:44.233 or reference of a book of Ghamidi Sahab. 01:00:44.233 --> 01:00:50.446 The objective of ASK GHAMIDI APP platform is that we form a community, 01:00:50.446 --> 01:00:58.722 and the people world over learn and understand Deen 01:00:58.722 --> 01:01:02.911 and wherever possible to get the guidance of Ghamidi Sahab. 01:01:02.911 --> 01:01:05.619 All of us can enthusiastically participate in it, 01:01:05.619 --> 01:01:07.822 and we may post whatever questions we have. 01:01:07.822 --> 01:01:11.344 If someone else has a question and we have some knowledge of it 01:01:11.344 --> 01:01:14.749 we may share some references of it or share some point of ours. 01:01:14.749 --> 01:01:19.191 InshaAllah, I hope that this platform comes out to be really helpful for us. 01:01:19.191 --> 01:01:25.532 With this, let me thank all of you, and specially Ghamidi Sahab for your time, 01:01:25.532 --> 01:01:29.817 Do permit your host, InshaAllah if we live, we shall meet again, 01:01:29.817 --> 01:01:31.771 take care of yourselves, Allah hafiz.
