Latest / After Maghrib 🌙 / Taqiyya & The Sins of a Liar
Transcript
- 0:00Salaam alaikum. Everyone struggles with two
- 0:04things in life, telling the truth and sticking by the truth
- 0:08day to day. We come across people who will
- 0:10tell us lies and we may not know it.
- 0:12Tell us the truth and we presume they're telling lies but
- 0:15particularly as she has not only is it important to tell the
- 0:19truth but also especially to live by the truth.
- 0:23Following Huck is something that we have to understand not just
- 0:26understand that Embrace and to implement into our own I've
- 0:30stood a broom sisters on the aftermarket podcast.
- 0:33We've got a lot to talk about some really interesting
- 0:36discussions, but before we go any further, I want you,
- 0:38firstly, if you're new to the Channel, please hit that
- 0:40subscribe button. We're trying to hit 1000
- 0:42subscribers by the end of the year and shot Allah, but
- 0:45secondly, don't turn off. I know this sounds a bit cliche,
- 0:49truth and honesty and yada yada. But this is a very important
- 0:53conversation, arguably one of the most important topics in the
- 0:55religion of Islam. But before we go any further
- 0:58time, of course, introduced My charismatic co-host, say that it
- 1:02all the way. Some, are you hiding why that's
- 1:12cheeky small because I remember the few podcasts backs earlier
- 1:16when we first started every intro had like a specific word
- 1:18that I was like, how do I counter this for you?
- 1:23It's good to be here. And how's your week been?
- 1:26It's been good. I'm the law.
- 1:27It's been good. I mean life, nowadays is it's
- 1:32just cracking on, I know. Of course, it's been a Week
- 1:34since are buying but I think still trying to keep that
- 1:36momentum up and stay stay on top of things.
- 1:40So I'm the lucky one by yourself.
- 1:42I've had an interesting week and so, so the sorts of revolves
- 1:46around the conversation we're having here today, but I'm going
- 1:48to keep our personal life out. Yeah, there's more importantly I
- 1:51met. Do you tell the truth?
- 1:52Do I tell the truth? I would hope.
- 1:54So, that's a hard question for on Simon says, you know, we like
- 1:57we talked about the concept of part-time Muslims and we always
- 1:59refer back to that, but everyone will try their best and of
- 2:02course, no, that's important to tell the truth but It's a the,
- 2:05the topic of Truth and truthfulness goes beyond just
- 2:09telling the truth which I know, of course we're going to get
- 2:11into today and maybe just speaking, the truth is one small
- 2:15element of it but it's part of a much wider discussion on the
- 2:20concept of Truth within Islam. Hmm.
- 2:22You know, I mean hmm. No, you're very write a comment
- 2:25and it's not just Aslam, and you mentioned us being shear and
- 2:29this being a, she our podcast, we have the best of examples,
- 2:32the Island Bait, and we see times Time for the entire lives.
- 2:36They stood only would hack and fought with button and we have
- 2:39so much examples and inshallah in this conversation.
- 2:41I'm going to learn a lot because we all struggle with the truth,
- 2:44to be honest, to be truthful. We all struggle the truth.
- 2:47One of one of our respected teachers and alarm our house.
- 2:50I was listening to like a session.
- 2:52He had online, he said that in his many years of study in Islam
- 2:58he said he feels one of. If not the most fundamental
- 3:02issues within the religion is the Concept of Truth.
- 3:05Now, it's not just like you said, not just within our
- 3:07religion, but in wider Society, of course, the social
- 3:11commentator, psychoanalysts ever a lot of people know the Jordan
- 3:14Peterson. Hmm.
- 3:16He said something very interesting.
- 3:17He said the most important virtue in life is truthfulness
- 3:23not for example, kindness for example, you know, like you
- 3:26might have a dictator or an oppressor who's kind but through
- 3:30manipulation their kind, you know, that just goes to show
- 3:33that you May not be truthful, despite being kind uses your own
- 3:37benefit. Yeah.
- 3:37Exactly. Exactly.
- 3:38The again, there's so many examples in history of people
- 3:41like that, but being truthful. Sometimes it's hard to swallow,
- 3:44sometimes it's hard to to put forward, but it's important.
- 3:49That is it is and being truthful is very important because I
- 3:52think it plays in every aspect of your life.
- 3:55Yeah, at work at home in your community, even with yourself I
- 3:59mean you have to be truthful to yourself because a lot of people
- 4:02they tell a lot of lies. Believe your own lie that I
- 4:05think you just get lost in your own bubble away, it becomes some
- 4:09sort of disease, so inshallah we will all try our best.
- 4:12Not just me not just you and Shalom, everyone listening to
- 4:14this podcast. We will always stand by the
- 4:16truth. The whole truth and nothing but
- 4:19the truth. And I know many people have had
- 4:20this in a lot of Dramas probably on US court sessions or
- 4:23something. That's something that I.
- 4:26When we said we want to talk about the truth.
- 4:27Today is the first thing that hit my mind, that even someone
- 4:31that I said, doesn't abide by God's law as country's law.
- 4:34Those who don't have God's abide by the truth, they do the value
- 4:38by speaking the truth. Yeah.
- 4:39Absolute truth is within our fifth like we innately as human
- 4:43beings. We strive for truth.
- 4:45We have a hunger for Truth. For example, the concept of
- 4:49curiosity, if you think about what is curiosity, is when you
- 4:52have the yearning to learn the true answer or meaning of
- 4:56something like you have an innate striving towards the
- 5:00truth. And you know, for example, young
- 5:02children children sometimes I Rrr, what's the word I'm looking
- 5:06for? Are not discrete at all there.
- 5:09So the innocent and that innocent innocent and they're
- 5:12truthful. For example I had again in
- 5:15another session at the the speaker said, he said, for
- 5:19example, someone rings, the doorbell, this is your dad home
- 5:22and the kid says, yeah, he's home but he told me to tell you
- 5:24he's not here. You know?
- 5:25I mean, because kids are innocent and they This Is How
- 5:28They are. Yeah.
- 5:29Yeah, you know, I've heard something similar where I was in
- 5:32a lecture. Yeah.
- 5:33And the scholar Saying, you know, it was talking to the
- 5:35parents but, you know, it's mainly the eldest in down an
- 5:38Arabic lecture, shall we say? And he was like, you guys are
- 5:41always telling your kids Baba, speak the truth, don't lie to
- 5:44me. When he grew up knowing you have
- 5:46been teaching him. How to lie unknowingly the
- 5:49simple thing. As his friends, call him on the
- 5:51phone, he doesn't want to talk. He says, Barbara, tell him, I'm
- 5:54in the shower of all pertinent Baba, I'm asleep.
- 5:57He's automatically psychologically, being
- 5:59programmed to to make lying normal.
- 6:03So I think If you're true to yourself, you wouldn't affect
- 6:06society, sometimes, we don't even realize it like that.
- 6:09We think it's just a small thing.
- 6:10I'll call them back, we see like a white like a white line.
- 6:12Even at work, I was thinking about this.
- 6:14Today I called up a customer. This is like a true story.
- 6:17I called up a customer today. I was like, can I speak to xy's
- 6:20that person and I said yeah, just give me one second.
- 6:23Put me on hold and minute later came back said they're in a
- 6:26meeting. Can you call back later
- 6:28something? Like, is that true or not?
- 6:30Because sometimes it happens in my office, you some my
- 6:32colleagues will do that or whatever.
- 6:34And it makes you wonder he's okay it's not a big deal, like
- 6:37you're not hugely offended if you're on the receiving end of
- 6:39it but like you said, like small Pebbles of lying amounts to at
- 6:45the end of the day, you know, tons and tons worth of sin, they
- 6:50are very and, you know, we hit when we're young, we always hear
- 6:52that concept. That if you have a blank page
- 6:56and you put 1,000 black boss, mmm.
- 6:59You know, it's worse and harder to raise those black dots then
- 7:01one big large spot. For example, is it, is she
- 7:04Women. And that's parents.
- 7:05And I know you also new parent may Allah bless your son.
- 7:08It's important that we installed truth in them.
- 7:11Yeah. And and every sense.
- 7:13Yeah. Any we for example even the way
- 7:15we deal with our spouses, for example, when we take them out
- 7:18you know sometimes we want to take a holiday off far.
- 7:21Shore up. Yeah.
- 7:22Lots of parents. What they tell the school just
- 7:25so you felt sick. No just say the truth, you know
- 7:27it's an Islamic occasion and that we want to Mark out of
- 7:30respect for the grandson of rasul Allah, this automatically
- 7:33they can sneak in. Okay, this Is he speaking the
- 7:34truth? Because I remember back in the
- 7:36day when I was young, all the parents used to say our everyone
- 7:39is sick. So all that she has are missing
- 7:42from school, everyone. Eventually there's going to be
- 7:53time or for example, there's going to be music lessons.
- 7:56Yeah. Well there's going to be time
- 7:57with the certain lessons. We don't our kids.
- 7:59We shouldn't come up with excuses.
- 8:00We should say the truth. All kids know why they shouldn't
- 8:03be in such. Places environment, you can
- 8:05point Ms, very important, of course, that long term.
- 8:08They will shall understand and shondo Implement that in that
- 8:11will be ingrained in them. Say it's something I wanted to
- 8:13get into you mentioned earlier, something about about being
- 8:17careful, how you speak and it's important, for example, in the
- 8:21community, nowadays with things like gossip, okay?
- 8:25Because gossip is such a huge, huge disease where the community
- 8:30rumors, sometimes, we don't know where they start, sometimes we
- 8:33don't know when they're Going to end or where they're going to
- 8:35end. But gossip is something which
- 8:37off which is consumed us. And we may not even know it, we
- 8:40may be thinking, I'm speaking facts.
- 8:42I'm wanting my brother about someone else, for example, but
- 8:45we don't know if that's gossip or not.
- 8:47How do you think? For example, we should we should
- 8:49react if news about something or someone comes to us.
- 8:52Like, what do you tell the person who's told you a piece of
- 8:55gossip and then, how do you use that information?
- 8:58Yeah, I don't have much personal experience to share.
- 9:01If I'm honest, I have been in Gatherings where people have
- 9:04Unfortunately, spoken about others, but we haven't been
- 9:07there to gossip. There's one thing I think I have
- 9:10learned from the conversations I've been in and from, you know,
- 9:12the brothers, I've surrounded myself with is that they always
- 9:15remind us? Are you sure you saw this?
- 9:17Yeah. Are you sure you heard this?
- 9:19I think was Imam Ali. A Moment In when he said the
- 9:22truth is the distance of your four fingers between your eyes
- 9:25and your ears. Was he - I'm not sure but one of
- 9:28the one of the Holy imams and that always has stuck with me.
- 9:32Yeah, honest to God. And because as As I said, early
- 9:34in the podcast was like in a similar situation environment
- 9:37and the last few days and that was the first thing that I told
- 9:39that person. If it's not if it's not true you
- 9:42don't know if it's not true. Yeah.
- 9:43You don't know if it's true. You don't know if they're lying,
- 9:45you don't know you're like maybe you're lying to yourself.
- 9:47Maybe you think it's true? Maybe didn't see an end.
- 9:49It wasn't sure at all. Yeah, because they haven't seen
- 9:51or heard it with their own eyes. Someone told them and it's like
- 9:53Chinese Whispers, You Know Reba sessions.
- 9:56The Chinese Whispers, it happens too often and of course, it's so
- 9:59important for us to understand that being truthful, Islam is
- 10:02something which is ordered by a Spawn dollar and subtle Toba.
- 10:06I believe it was a last one. Tyler says it's called law.
- 10:10Akuna Minal saw the thing be Pious and be amongst the sad
- 10:15thing. You know, the sort of thing we
- 10:17talked about silk which is the concept of truth, right?
- 10:19And so did or said, dick is the one who is truthful?
- 10:23Truthful, last week we talked about the holy prophet, Muhammad
- 10:25saw Allah. We saw them as being a sudden
- 10:28and being truthful in the way he approached people.
- 10:31And we know, of course, not be Isa, alaihi Salam, not be Musa.
- 10:34So between Molly and Melissa. I'm so fucked up to Jerusalem,
- 10:36la la, all known as I said, dick or siddiqa as a family and of
- 10:40course, and these characters were truthful and not just
- 10:45truthful. How they spoke, they thought the
- 10:48truth, they breathe the truth. They embrace the truth.
- 10:50They consume everything about them.
- 10:53You know, exuberant dated the truth.
- 10:55Do you see what I mean? Yeah.
- 10:56And that Islam telling the truth, like we said, is just a
- 10:59small part of it, you know, but being one who follows I lack is
- 11:04Something, which is so important for us that it should become our
- 11:08ultimate goal. Every single morning, we should
- 11:10wake up redefine our goals for the day.
- 11:12I understand that, how am I going to do?
- 11:15How am I going to go about my day to find the ultimate truth?
- 11:19Because at the end of the day, we know last month, has given us
- 11:21a short amount of time on this on this, on this Earth and this
- 11:24is the defining moment for our camera.
- 11:27So we have to find the truth in our life and in order to do
- 11:30that, we have to we have to use rational or irrational, tell us
- 11:33that data. Today when we wake up, we go
- 11:35about our day. Is this action?
- 11:36I'm about to dive into? Will this?
- 11:39Bring me closer to Allah? Will this allow me to become
- 11:43more at one with Huck and truth? I think that's what I should be
- 11:46like a compass. Not to be able to, you know, I
- 11:49mean, no, you're very right and there's very beautiful, you
- 11:51mentioned? Very early Iran.
- 11:53You mentioned that just the other day.
- 11:54We spoke about outside that. I mean, rasulullah sallallahu
- 11:57alehiwassallaam. And as Muslims, yeah, we should
- 12:00take him as an example of the deaf and become like a Offside
- 12:04economy. And now, a day to day lives, we
- 12:07can go to work. Yeah.
- 12:08And we can be lying cheating, you know, for example, a farmer
- 12:13merchan, all my cellar, I don't know.
- 12:16Anyone's listening has worked in sales but I think 99 percent of
- 12:19the time someone who calls me it's just talking nonsense.
- 12:22Yeah, there's no such thing as and that's all I.
- 12:24So you have to imagine that if you're going to make a sale from
- 12:27that, for example, at work you've made that sale based on
- 12:31lie in the commission, you're Takin home, it's not halal.
- 12:34It's not Halal. Let's be honest, it's made out
- 12:35of false information. Another thing is that I think is
- 12:38very important is hope the wife ain't listening, but for
- 12:42example, but for example, you have to be very truthful with
- 12:46your spouse at home. That's another example.
- 12:48Now, for example, a lot of the mrs.
- 12:51You know, where are you? I'm five minutes.
- 12:53Find you've been, it's been 25 minutes.
- 12:55You're in the car, he called again, I'm walking.
- 12:57I'm wearing my shoes. She's still pulling the job on
- 13:00the I this all things I think and sha Allah does Become
- 13:04normal, just be truthful. You don't drive a helicopter or
- 13:06plane? Yeah, yeah I'll be there in half
- 13:08an hour for example, even odds, between friends, I could say I'm
- 13:11on my way here to the podcast and I normally don't say, I've
- 13:14left a lot. Actually go in the compost alley
- 13:18for those who don't know, he was perfect example.
- 13:21He said I'm gonna be late. I'm running late, I'm going to
- 13:22be there at 8:15, hmm. I'm a Charlotte 815.
- 13:25You turned up something. I expected that and I understand
- 13:27that's what we need to do. And another thing that's
- 13:30important non-muslims are watching us.
- 13:32Yeah, they don't know who to trust.
- 13:34Annalise, they probably haven't read the noble Quran, so they
- 13:37seeing me you and those watching, listening, you are the
- 13:40Muslims. You are representing al-sadiq a
- 13:43lemon. So we have to try live.
- 13:44Like, we're personifications of our religion of Representatives,
- 13:48whether we like it or not, you mentioned had our money, which I
- 13:52found quite interesting. It's very easy for us to fall
- 13:56into that says very easy for us to to earn Haram living without
- 14:00realizing it. Now, if someone for example is
- 14:03lying in order to Make a sale. Maybe that tells us that that
- 14:07person fears the reaction or the impression someone else will
- 14:11have of them as opposed to the the reaction or impression.
- 14:15Our last one to Allah will have on us.
- 14:17So for example, if I am lying to make a sale or I'm lying to not
- 14:22have give off a bad reputation or something it means I fear
- 14:25what that person will think of me more than what law thinks of
- 14:27me. Do you see what I mean?
- 14:29You're worried about the consequences in this world,
- 14:33which of course we should be. Concerned about the consequences
- 14:35of this world but we're thinking about that above what I lost my
- 14:37Tyler may think of us and it's important for us to understand
- 14:40this because if we are lying, if we think what what is the reason
- 14:44for someone to lie, okay? Or not, even just lying but also
- 14:48lying to themselves. Not following cup, not following
- 14:51truth. Heard why do people do that?
- 14:53Is because they are either more concerned about the worldly
- 14:56Affairs. When people think how much money
- 14:58did, yes, people say yes or they have agreed.
- 15:02They wanted to To have a Greed for power.
- 15:05You know. I think I can change.
- 15:07Someone's opinion, I'd have to tell you the truth, I can tell
- 15:09you what I want, they're going to believe what I say.
- 15:11It's there's an element of fake impression of power that you get
- 15:14from lying and you know, for example, why lie detectors are
- 15:18so successful is because innately as human beings were
- 15:21not built all wired to lie. So your natural your the pulses
- 15:27and and all these the electrics inside your brain.
- 15:30In your all of that stuff. I'm not really scientific but
- 15:34That will give off a signal that you're lying, because it's not
- 15:36innate, but the more someone lies, the more custom they are
- 15:39to lying and that the less reaction I have inside.
- 15:41Do you see what I mean? Interesting, interesting, this
- 15:43of Mustang approves anything because I'm saying why proof
- 15:46that there are satanic Whispers have one appropriate to Lucky.
- 15:49Yeah, absolutely absolutely. But why is it said that you
- 15:53think people have a tendency to to lie?
- 15:58But you know say it's a lot of people are asking us, especially
- 16:00nowadays on social media and everything.
- 16:04Stuck here. You see are always doing today.
- 16:07Oh, yeah. Can you explain that?
- 16:09Well, wishes on always doing tabria.
- 16:11We are always speaking the truth and we are saying hot buttock
- 16:16area is not me or some random shapes color coming out saying
- 16:19you can come online, not the Quran is saying that you can
- 16:21come and conceal the truth. And a particular situation, like
- 16:24I'm going to quote the I'm gonna call the verse for you, okay,
- 16:27okay. Smile ar-rahman, ar-rahim going
- 16:29to translate to hear 16:1 06. He who disbelieves in Allah,
- 16:36after his belief in him, is the liar.
- 16:39Except he, who is compelled while his heart remains
- 16:42steadfast with the faith. A lot.
- 16:46That is a lie. He said, those who believe in
- 16:50Allah at the end, this believe they're the Liars but those who
- 16:53conceal when they are compelled, Allah knows wasn't their heart.
- 16:57So this is concealing something but you know, a lot of people
- 17:01say, we used to create 24/7. You she, as I Dang it left right
- 17:05and center but we only use it in specific circumstances, I'm it.
- 17:08So let me ask you legitimate question.
- 17:10This man, have you ever been in a position in your life where
- 17:12you had to do something? No.
- 17:13Okay, and I haven't either and the only instance I think either
- 17:18with us with either of us would be in that situation is if a gun
- 17:22was to our head or to the head of a loved one or something
- 17:25stuff. A lot of you are too worldly.
- 17:27And we are asked a question about our so our beliefs or
- 17:31something. And in order to keep Keep the
- 17:34protection of our family or our selves.
- 17:36Our remaining, we have to do to clear.
- 17:39And that is not only accepted by the Shia Scholars.
- 17:42That's because obviously a lot of people won't agree with that
- 17:44or accept. No, that's wrong.
- 17:45As for all good on is for all bomber, it's not just a good
- 17:48honest, a debate today, a Muslim, the holy prophet
- 17:50Muhammad, his daughter Fatima, Zahra his his brother in every
- 17:56sense of the word. I mean on Walkman in.
- 17:58So these are the walking talking examples of the Holy Quran.
- 18:02Mmm, you know, and they themselves Have endorsed, and
- 18:04they've said that in circumstances situations.
- 18:07You must do this? Yes.
- 18:08All right. And you know, I actually
- 18:10pictured myself and what's not? Because you asked, have you ever
- 18:12been and handle? I haven't.
- 18:14Yeah. There's I pictured myself if
- 18:16that was ever to happen or probably be somewhere in mosul
- 18:19with Isis, having a obvious or to my neck massage.
- 18:22And to be fair, mmm, even in that situation.
- 18:24You don't want to do you shouldn't you shouldn't?
- 18:26She don't want to do it because you, you are proud of what this
- 18:28is, what our laws allowing you to conceal?
- 18:30Not lie. Let's clear it.
- 18:31Let's clarify not lie to conceal.
- 18:33Your faith, he knows. What's in your heart but was
- 18:35going to preserve your life and stop severe harm or was it
- 18:38doesn't. There's no wrong in doing.
- 18:39So absolutely. And I just want to make this
- 18:41absolutely clear. I'm not a scholar by the way,
- 18:44neither serve others but not just that on the level on the
- 18:47sisters do not accuse people of of cover on that.
- 18:51They are all things like that. If you don't know, seriously,
- 18:54please look up, you have access, you have no, excuse nowadays.
- 18:57We live in the 21st century, our last panel.
- 19:00What Allah has given you two eyes for a reason and one mouth.
- 19:04And the reason is that, you can look up and you can research and
- 19:06you can learn and you can listen with your two ears.
- 19:08You have one mouth to make accusations with.
- 19:10And there's a reason for that run sisters.
- 19:12Like, say to you mentioned earlier about the four fingers
- 19:14Hadith. Yeah, it's evident there for us.
- 19:16And I Hadi that you know, you cannot make accusations towards
- 19:20anyone for anything unless it's validated and you know, there's
- 19:24a rationale behind it but not just stuck.
- 19:26Esade also White Lies, Of course, that's like a big thing
- 19:30here. So you know, White Lies.
- 19:33If I If I can just clarify, a white lie, is a lie, this is a
- 19:38white lie. So who defines the colors
- 19:40between black and white? I'm so baffled.
- 19:44That's how that's how difficult it is to to make it, to make
- 19:46someone understand. So the best way the scholars
- 19:48have made us understand where you are sort of allowed to not
- 19:52say the whole truth. For example, I'm going to give
- 19:56another marriage example here. And it's for example, your wife
- 19:58has cooked some food, okay? Okay.
- 20:01You don't like it. Why she asked you.
- 20:03How is how's my cooking? You know, say you know what?
- 20:07It's amazing. It's great.
- 20:08She's going to be happy, you're happy.
- 20:10You have an upset on that's like weather.
- 20:12The line is yes to keep things in harmony.
- 20:15Hmm. And in the same example, of
- 20:17course, we know this Lomb. Hmm.
- 20:18In circumstances where you have 100% conviction at Hokum of
- 20:23Allah. Subhanahu wa'ta'ala would prefer
- 20:25you to say something to keep things intact.
- 20:28As opposed to seeing the truth as you may call it, which causes
- 20:31friction. Like, that's why I said not the
- 20:33whole truth, you guys still terrific.
- 20:35Like for example, I had an example from a teacher.
- 20:37He said in the case of divorce, you may have, for example, a
- 20:40husband and wife do to get divorced.
- 20:42And you are the middleman. For example, is, you can say to
- 20:45the husband, your wife loves you very much and to reconcile, you
- 20:48to reconcile them, of course. And that's an important element
- 20:51for us to understand that you. And we have to make this clear
- 20:53does not mean you can justify any sin in the world and say,
- 20:57yeah, it's alright. I can lie about it because it's
- 20:59better than the alternative know, there's no reasoning for
- 21:01that. My son doesn't.
- 21:03There's also an incident in the life of a minimum.
- 21:06In listen to this, listen to, this is really nice story.
- 21:09My ears open a man comes to the mosque and he Sees Imam, Ali
- 21:13sitting and he says, yeah Mom. I'm being chased.
- 21:15People are trying to kill me. This is a Madman from the
- 21:17community of Menominee, so the Imam said, don't worry.
- 21:20I've got your back. I'm paraphrasing man says, okay,
- 21:23he goes and hides. The people come in and the Imam
- 21:27stands up and he says somewhere else.
- 21:29Okay. Okay.
- 21:30The people come to them and minimum.
- 21:32And he says, have you seen this guy?
- 21:33We're looking from a minimum. We need says whilst I've been
- 21:35sitting here. I haven't seen him.
- 21:36Hmm. What I mean about meninas doing
- 21:38is told here, which of course we know is not lying.
- 21:42But, giving an alternative truth, which one may use in a
- 21:46circumstance tickets to to protect or for example, to avoid
- 21:50risk of harm. For example, this again is very,
- 21:53very discouraged unless it's a certain circumstance and if only
- 21:57a minimum we need did it. And we know like these are rare
- 21:59occasions, the life of the owner where they did.
- 22:01It rare occasions. And that's a time where there's
- 22:04volatility and aggression and War and all sorts, even then
- 22:07they rarely did it. And this was to preserve life
- 22:10was put to present that life as Yeah.
- 22:12And you know, because, you know, like we have, another Ferrari
- 22:16has narrated also, Lolly why you sent him?
- 22:18He has said, speak the truth. Even if it's bitter.
- 22:22Yeah, yeah, I need to an extent that we have to lie to make
- 22:27something sound so sweet. But here the the biggest proof
- 22:30of Allah on Earth is asking you to speak the truth even though
- 22:33it's bitter. But circumstances like this to
- 22:35protect life is where we learn from the island base and it's I
- 22:38think also falls under the category of tough area.
- 22:41Yeah yeah. It's interesting.
- 22:42Also, nowadays to get someone to believe you.
- 22:45You have to say what? Allah Allah he or however you
- 22:48say orcas are possible. Father honestly, Abbas Abbas,
- 22:54it's up to you. Yeah.
- 22:55It's a lot of bus. I mean, this is so common
- 22:58nowadays, even myself and I'm sure many of the listeners is
- 23:03affected by this is. And I think I was speaking to a
- 23:07bit earlier. It was like, you know, sometimes
- 23:08we can hear someone, he mentions the word god 50.
- 23:12Times in a sentence and the sentence has five words.
- 23:16While I want their one lie saw this and one like I can't
- 23:18believe what happened, you want the amount of times while I was
- 23:22being spoken, you know it's absolutely yeah it is no doubts
- 23:25about what lalala lalala lalalala you go on and on and on
- 23:29it's not good but just we all remember like that without
- 23:32laughing about this but lying pain, the pain, the name of
- 23:36Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and you're like I think is like, we
- 23:39know the Holy Quran. Says last month I says do not
- 23:40take the name of your lord in vain.
- 23:42Mmm. Anyone like you can't just use
- 23:45the name of Allah subhanaw taala.
- 23:46So like me, just let me use the name of God in play or in sport.
- 23:52Like you know, you can't use it for your own entertainment, but
- 23:55I think there's a cultural thing, isn't it?
- 23:56Like we've grown up in some communities, do a lot.
- 23:59They do, they do and I think it mostly happens in Gossip
- 24:03circles. Yeah.
- 24:05And if you're not near the gossip, you're not going to hear
- 24:07lies best. If you're always lying yourself,
- 24:09you're going to be attracted to this gossip Circle.
- 24:12We'll do it when they're in arguments to try and back
- 24:15themselves. Yes, they doing just to preserve
- 24:18their own reputation. If it's got to the point they
- 24:21don't mind destroying. Someone else's reputation to
- 24:24save this. Yeah and if it's got to the
- 24:26point said, when if you have to say well love for someone else
- 24:31to believe you and the chances are that you know yourself that
- 24:36you're not a believable person, just want to me.
- 24:38But if you have to prove that you're telling the truth by
- 24:40using the word of Allah, the name of Allah.
- 24:42Last part of what, Allah, there's a chance that you are
- 24:44not believable person that, you know, people won't believe you.
- 24:48And why is that do you give off qualities?
- 24:50What is it about you? That's not believable.
- 24:53Why did you have to use the name of God in vain to make someone
- 24:56else believe? And I think a lot of people,
- 24:58forget, lying is a sin. It's Haram the Annie.
- 25:01There's no black and white to it.
- 25:02It's Haram, you know, Taqueria is concealing is not lying,
- 25:07okay? But lying in any case is Haram
- 25:09and it's actually included in the major sins.
- 25:12And I've even read it. And it said for example at the
- 25:17time of someone as they are lying, they have left Islam.
- 25:19The man they've stepped their stop lying.
- 25:22They come back as Muslims. That's how much they have told
- 25:24us. They're headed back to stay away
- 25:26from lying. So yeah.
- 25:28I need for someone that for example, keep saying 11 and
- 25:33every sentence or for someone that would rather lie to destroy
- 25:37someone's reputation to make sure they look like Angels.
- 25:39Yeah, it's a disease. Yeah, I said disease.
- 25:42And it's not something that someone comes up with every day,
- 25:44I don't know, intention is saying, I'm going to lie now
- 25:47becomes automatic. That means it's because they've
- 25:49been lying their entire life. That is not easy for someone to
- 25:52come out and say I saw X do this.
- 25:56They did that. There's no easy.
- 26:00Mmm. When I leave it there, there's
- 26:03so many just to just to kind of maybe close and is so many
- 26:08examples in their life of the the life of their own mother
- 26:11Salam. Where Huck is the number one
- 26:14priority. It's know when we talk about
- 26:17about the letter saying so they sadhana we usually use some
- 26:21cliche terms social justice Warrior stood for justice
- 26:25against oppression, yada yada. To be really honest.
- 26:28That's like a secondary quality, that should make everyone
- 26:31understand. Yeah, it's a very Global istic,
- 26:34amongst understanding the Imam. The reality is Imam.
- 26:37Hussein alehissalaam, stood for Hulk, still gets bothered, and
- 26:41that, is he, that's fundamentally?
- 26:42What he did, he stood for the religion of Islam, the religion
- 26:45was grandfather to preserve the religion that was initially
- 26:47brought by his grandfather and that is the ultimate goal goal.
- 26:51That is, that is, you know, he's working towards absolute truth
- 26:54and that absolute truth. There's a lot of talent either
- 26:56so I'm shocked. We can try and, you know, not
- 26:59only Implement that, but in terms of how we speak, but also
- 27:02in the way we approach Our Lives, you know, and I'm going
- 27:05to share something with the listeners of the podcast.
- 27:07You know, I was speaking to a comment earlier on and we were
- 27:10speaking about this subject as well about telling the truth and
- 27:13everything. And I met told me something.
- 27:16Let me talk to them directly. And I told me something that for
- 27:19you to always say the truth, you have to always put hack first.
- 27:23You did, you did, am I giving you any memories here?
- 27:27God. I was hoping you can.
- 27:28You can tell the tale delicious. Always say the truth.
- 27:31You have to say that you need. You need to believe a hack.
- 27:33Yeah. After the Hawkeyes, number one
- 27:35for you to be truthful. Yeah.
- 27:36Of course of course how can we Embrace truth in our core?
- 27:41How can we live our lives on the path of Seurat?
- 27:44Almost a team. If we haven't understood hug and
- 27:46if you love striving for Huck, but I'm lying to myself.
- 27:49Yeah, I can go out and portray an image.
- 27:52I'm a religious guy, I pray, I recited the mosque.
- 27:54We have many of you gonna podcast.
- 27:56For example, Myself included ourselves and home.
- 27:59For example, we're not doing a Just Adjust this to ourselves to
- 28:03our families. You know, we are lying to
- 28:05ourselves if we're not truthful to ourselves, we won't get
- 28:09anywhere. We're living in a facade.
- 28:11The last thing I'll say is Bartley.
- 28:13Whatever is considered Barthel is an illusion Aslam Akins
- 28:17Barton to like bubbles on water that it's an illusion.
- 28:22I lost one. Tyler says in the Holy Quran he
- 28:24Compares himself with the idols. He says, how am I Different to
- 28:27the idols. Allah says that I am the Huck,
- 28:30the absolute Huck and the other Idols are Barton their void,
- 28:34their unapparent, they will disappear there and illusion,
- 28:38everything which is falsehood in.
- 28:39Islam is an illusion and we have to remember that because if
- 28:42we're listening to music, we're looking at girls or the opposite
- 28:45gender, or whatever it is or where lying to our co-workers or
- 28:47would like to our wife or husband, or our parents or
- 28:50whatever it is. We're not going to get away with
- 28:53it, lying on our job application.
- 28:54I'm gonna chop up the even the sweet things we Easy for us was
- 28:58a lie. Yeah, things we considered to be
- 29:00small or lies so we're not going to get anywhere in life.
- 29:02Allah is not, you know, stuff a lot, he's not unaware of what we
- 29:06do. He knows everything.
- 29:07He is listening and watching to everything we do and that's why
- 29:09I think it becomes easy to lie. We saw forget, Allah is there.
- 29:12Yeah, if we put them everywhere, we go, that's where he is.
- 29:15Let's be honest. He's everywhere further.
- 29:17If we can always remember Allah is always watching over us.
- 29:20I don't think it becomes easy to lie.
- 29:22Absolutely. So, you know where you'll be
- 29:23held accountable? Yeah.
- 29:26Yeah, I love comments. Said any last comments I would
- 29:29say to everyone listening stick with the truth and not false.
