salam that my nation will be
divided into 73 sects all of them are in
hell except one
so they said which one is it Oh prophet
of Allah the prophet said whoever
follows my footsteps and the footsteps
of the Companions this is the saved sect
which I claim as well as you do that we
are insha'Allah among them and how do we
know that we are among them by following
the Quran and the Sunnah
nobody's else footsteps we're following
whatever we do you ask me you question
me you stop me in the middle of the
street if you can and I'll answer your
question say share how do you prove that
the Prophet did what you're doing and
I'll show it to you from the Quran and
from the Sunnah other sects can't do
that you tell you tell them why do you
do this
he says Simon says you have to obey but
although I did not order me to follow
and obey Simon Allah ordered me to obey
the Prophet RA salatu salam going back
to our question what does this have to
do with fasting ramadan if a person does
not fast Ramadan is he a kafir first of
all do not play with fire otherwise
you're gonna burn yourself those who
play the TEC fear game so look at me I'm
wearing the Saudi robe and this red
smell we call it I look like a share if
I keep on looking at people and
classifying them hmm
this guy's clothes are below his ankle
is a kafir this guy fornicates with
women he's a kafir this guy
consumes intoxicants it's a major sin
he's in hell he's a kafir this is the
treats of the huarache Allah did not
send me as a judge I'm gonna be
questioned about my own actions and
beliefs not about others so why would I
engage in giving that fear to people not
that it is not part of it slam it is
part of Islam but not to every Tom Dick
and Harry this is something that is
given and appointed to scholars of Islam
after fulfilling the conditions this
individual he's a kafir did you make
sure that the conditions are fulfilled
did you interview him did you
interrogate him are you sure that there
are no obstacles available in him that
prevents us from labeling mass kafir
no I did but he did so and so he's a
kafir you're wrong the Prophet says are
they so some whoever says to his brother
ya kafir one of them is gonna pick it up
either he is truly a kafir it's gonna
stick to him if he's not it's gonna
deflect and come back at me and I'll be
described as a kafir this is a serious
offense so coming back to our question
the person who does not fast Ramadan is
he a kafir Alisoun Mathew aljahmeir
and this is very important and this was
mentioned in el happy that it haha we
which is a big book that speaks about
our Ikeda and it says how he says and we
do not label anyone as a kafir for doing
something unless he makes it Helen we do
not make our label anyone kafir due to a
sin he committed unless we say that he
he says or believes that it is halal
now this statement also has been
explained by many scholars before
in a nutshell I'm not gonna take you
into details because as they say the
devil is in the details the devil does
not have the guts to come and discuss
these things with us because it gets us
closer to Allah so it's just a metaphor
now 'his anata wa l-jama'a believe that
no sin takes you out of the fold of
Islam unless it is sheer cork offer or
salat oh sure
why are you excluding salat I did not
exclude salat
it's the prophet alayhi salatu salam who
stated that between man and shark or co4
is abandoning salat whoever abandons
salat is a kafir he has committed Cofer
this is the prophets hadith it's
authentic I'm not going to go there
because our series are about fasting
this is what I believe you can always
watch the great debate that took place
four years or five years ago in
Birmingham Green Lane mastery between
the Honorable Sheikh Abu Amina Bilal
Philips and my self we discussed this
whether he is a kafir or not and you can
judge for yourself
beautiful debate beautiful manners of my
great beloved brother Amina and it was
enjoyable the weather was fine check it
out so I'm not gonna talk about salat
I'm not gonna talk about everything else
if I consumed in toxicants is it hell
Haram no I'm I know it's Haram but I
like partying I like to drink booze I'm
sinful I'm committing a major sin I'm
still Muslim okay what about the pillars
of Islam if I don't give zakat money in
my account or not what is my intention
is
my intention that zakat is not mandatory
no I agree it's a pillar of Islam but
I'm stingy I don't feel like giving
zakat I'm committing one of the most
heinous and major sins in Islam but I'm
still a Muslim
do I go further I think you got my point
what about fasting shit my cousin
doesn't fasts a single day in drama bond
come why don't you fast Ramadan is it a
pillar of Islam suggests I acknowledge
what I'm least I don't want a fast you
are committing a major and serious sin
that we'd probably throw you in hell for
a hundred years no know how long it's
all in Allah's hand maybe Allah so gel
doesn't punish you but you're not a
kafir you're still a Muslim but in great
danger so to answer the question
consequences of living fast isn't just
like living Salah will it lead to cover
the answer is no it would not need to
cover until you believe and I'll give
you another example of the person who
likes to drink booze so he drinks booze
it is pre-recorded it's not Ramadan so
this is pre-recorded um this is not live
I'm not with you in Ramadan this time
you're watching this I'm in home Jeddah
fasted with my kids so someone who
drinks booze and he acknowledges that it
is Haram and it's a major sin is he a
kafir no he's a Muslim Allah so Jill may
punish him and may forgive him no one
has control over that it except Allah so
Jay a person who never put a single drop
of intoxicants in his mouth but he
believes that wine is not Haram
he is a full-fledged kafir
is belief not because of his action he
did not drink a drop in his life but
because he believes that it is not Haram
though Allah has mentioned this in black
and white and we show him the evidences
from the Quran and from the Sun now we
fulfilled the conditions upon him and we
know that he has no obstacles in this
case the guy has become an apostate so
this is a very important and big
difference between the two when a person
makes a sin believing in it and when a
person believes that the sin is not
sinful and he refuses to acknowledge it
and Allah social knows best yet this
leads us to a 1 million Kuwaiti dinar
question dollars is underrated Quetta
dinar is high so a person who does not
pray should he fast you are not the
judge what do you mean okay don't judge
people and say listen you don't pray
you're a kafir hence you should not fast
what would he do
so a life I'm a cafe and I'm already in
hell might as well leave fasting no this
is not your role your role is a diary
your role is to make people love
goodness and abstain and refrain from
evil and bad things so if a person
doesn't pray yet he fasts he might fast
because if he his belief in Allah he
might fast because of the society in
those around him as a culture it's not
your business
bank on it and utilize it use these
positive feelings in him and ask him to
start to pray at least our way you
invite him to pray a prayer in the
message once every blue moon at least
tell him that Allah forgiveness is the
and if he succeeds in maintaining prayer
that allah azza wajal
would love him more and more
