Alhamdulillah.
My dear students, welcome to the 20th
edition in the fourth level of the
prophetic nobel hadith. And today
inshallah we will learn together hadith
number 17th in this level. And the
hadith is narrated by one of the great
companions of the messenger of Allah,
prophet Muhammad's cousin, the first to
accept Islam among the youth. and he was
his son-in-law, the father of his two
grandsons, Al Hassan Hussein. We can
speak about him forever. Mashallah. It
was narrated that from
may Allah be pleased with him that the
messenger of Allah, may Allah's peace
and salutations be upon him said there
is no obedience if it involves
disobedience towards Allah. Rather
obedience is only in that which is right
and proper.
The hadith is a highly profound hadith
and agreed upon its authenticity. It was
collected by the two great imams Bkari
and Muslim and that's why we say
also it was narrated by other compilers
of hadith.
We know a lot about him and we need to
learn more and more about him.
May Allah be pleased with him.
Prophet Muhammad sallall.aii wasallam
and said you are to me like Harun to Mos
except for the fact that there will not
be any prophet after me. He gave him his
sweetheart daughter Fatima in marriage
and he assisted them and he educated him
and he adopted him even before he was
commissioned with the prophethood to
help raising him since Abu Talib uh
adopted the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam after his grandfather died and
he treated him like his son. So Ali
Abalib was the fourth rightly guided
khif and may Allah be pleased with him
he became the fourth khif afterman
may Allah be pleased with him was
assassinated
himself lived during a time of a big
conflict and he ended up being also
assassinated by an evil person namely
Muljim and that was in Kufa in Iraq and
he died on the year after the migration
of the messenger of Allah. May Allah's
peace and blessings be upon him.
So let's learn about the meaning of the
hadith. What is the meaning of
rather obedience is only that
is only that which is right and proper.
We have many commands in the Quran to
obey Allah and to obey others like whom?
Parents.
Imagine when Allah the Almighty says
right next to the commandment of
worshiping Allah alone and not
associating with him others in worship
being good to the parents which entails
what obeying them looking after them
being dutiful to them listening to them.
Likewise in many other places in the
Quran and the Sunnah.
But meanwhile,
the Almighty Allah says,
"What if one's parents were
non-believers like Sad and his mother
Safia who said if you don't
come back to your religion, I will not
eat, I will not drink, I will not take a
bath until I die, then people will blame
my death on you." So sad said to his
mother, "My beloved mother, everybody
knows how much I love you. But by Allah,
if you happen to have 70 souls and they
come out of your body one after another,
in order to make me convert back or go
back on my heels, it will never happen.
So eat or do not eat, take a bath or
don't take a bath, it's entirely up to
you." That is exactly the meaning of the
statement of
when he quoted the messenger of Allah
peace be upon him saying that obedience
obedience in only what is proper what is
righteous
and there is no obedience for anyone
if it conflicts with the obedience of
Allah. If anyone is asking you to do
anything which is forbidden
or an act which the almighty Allah
dislikes no matter who is this person
even if he's in the position of
authority a ruler a parent a teacher a
husband for instance in the hadith the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
when a woman offers her five daily
prayers when a woman fast during the
month of Ramadan
When a woman guards her chastity, when a
woman, a wife obeys her husband,
fulfills those qualities on the day of
judgment, she would be called upon and
it would be said to her, "Enter heaven
from whichever gate you choose."
So if a husband called his wife to bed
during the day time of Ramadan and
fasting, she says, "What? We're
fasting?" He says, "You must obey me."
The messenger of Allah said, "So, you
must not obey him."
He's a wrongdoer.
What if a husband invited his wife to
attend dinner with his friends, with his
colleagues, a party, and everybody's
drinking, it's a business meeting. You
should not listen to him. You should
actually give him an ultimatum. If he
doesn't behave himself, you should seek
divorce.
What if he says it's okay to remove your
hijab before my siblings because your
family and this is very common in some
communities assuming that the in-laws
are like the siblings absolutely
forbidden. So if anyone asks anyone, no
matter how much you love this person, no
matter how much this person in a
position of authority or even if he is a
sheh or a scholar, but he is alluding
people to do what is Allah, what Allah
has forbidden, you should not listen to
them. Some people when they say, well,
I'm listening to an opinion of a
scholar, you know that it's an odd
opinion and it's an evil choice. Do not
listen to him. The messenger of Allah
said
even if people have given you fatwa you
know it's a wrong fatwa do not listen to
them.
Okay. Rather obedience is only in that
which is right and proper. Subhan Allah.
So brothers and sisters, the messenger
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commands us
that we should not obey anyone if he
were to ask us to do anything which is
displeasing to the almighty Allah. No
matter who this person is, let him be an
amir, a governor, a king, a ruler,
a husband, a parent, it doesn't matter.
Number one should be Allah subhana wa
ta'ala. So it is obligatory what we
learn from this hadith the following
number one it is obligatory to obey
those in authority among Muslims true
that is in the Quran. Subhan Allah. The
messenger of Allah peace be upon him
said in the hadith, "Whoever obeys me
has obeyed Allah. And whoever disobys me
has disobeyed Allah. And whoever obeys
the ruler has indeed obeyed me. And
whoever disobys the ruler has disobeyed
me." What does it mean? The messenger of
Allah puts emphasis on the importance of
surrounding the rulers, the governors,
supporting them, helping them, wishing
well for them, praying for them, wishing
them to achieve success and listening to
their commands and executing them. Only
if they ask you to do something which is
permissible.
But if they ask you to do something
which is haram, they allow dancing, they
allow drinking, they allow whatever, you
should not listen to them. And also
there are many a hadith with regards to
that the prohibition of revoling against
the rulers even if they commit sins
because the um needs a ruler and if we
keep fighting and uh overthrowing a
ruler and bringing another one so we see
him committing a sin we overthrow him
the um will live in turmoil only if the
ruler declared kof or commanded
disbelief he should be removed but as
far as sins were all human beings. So
the scholars will be required to pay the
sincere advice to them. The messenger of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
the Muslim is obliged to hear and obey
whether he likes it or not. Unless he is
commanded to commit a sin. If he is
commanded to commit a sin then there is
no requirement to hear and obey. I also
like to add that it is very important to
understand that those who are in a
charge whether the rulers or the parents
or the husband should not ask those who
are under their guardianship to do not
only what is haram but also what is
beyond their capacity.
So asking people to do something that
they cannot afford is also not
permissible. If the almighty Allah said
he himself doesn't ask anyone to do
anything beyond their capacity, why do
you? If Allah the Almighty said in to
the believers
keep your duty to Allah to the best of
your ability. So who are you to command
things which you know that they are
burdensome for the people are under your
guardianship?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala once again
brothers and sisters says in the Quran
in surah chapter number four verse
number 59
oh who you believed
obey Allah
and obey the messenger
of Allah and those in authority among
you. What does it mean? In the first
place he said obey Allah. Then he said
obey the messenger of Allah. Why?
Because the messenger of Allah may
command us to do things which we cannot
find in the Quran. But it's a so that's
why it's an independent
obedience. Obey Allah. If we find it in
the Quran or the prophet says this is
from Allah, obey the messenger of Allah
because whatever he commands you, it's
also from Allah. Then when it came to
the people of authority, the rulers, the
governors, the scholars, he didn't say
and obey those in authority among you.
Because their obedience is not
independent or separate. Rather, he said
and those in authority among you.
Meaning as long as he commanded you to
do what Allah and his messenger have
commanded you to do or at least allowed
you to do it is not an independence tar
and legislation. They don't have the
power to ask you to do to do things
which Allah subhana wa ta'ala have
forbidden. We cannot make a referendum
concerning one of the decrees of Allah.
Allah has decreed the law of
inheritance. Can we make a referendum to
change the rates? No, that is not
permissible and no one should be obeyed
in this regard. A father is asking his
daughter to remove the hijab. Not
listening to him but politely you
present your views. Okay. Um a husband
is asking his wife to drink with him to
break their fast so that they can have
sexual relations uh to attend a meeting
where men and women are free mingling.
No means no. So simply obedience of
Allah subhana wa tala and his messenger
should take precedence and should be
superior. May Allah subhanaa tala guide
us to what is best.
