00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:06.759
Smila he well Hamdulullah. He was
Salah, who was salam Ahala Rasululahailah early

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.720
he was Habi hi waman i da
dabi Huda hua bad. All praise is

3
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:15.160
indeed due to a loss of Hannah
huata Ailah, blessings and salutations upon Muhammed

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.920
salaahua aieh he was Seldam. We
ask a loss of Hannah, howat Ailah

5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.879
to bless every single one of us
and to make us from those whom He

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.839
has forgiven Tonight we ask a loss
of Hannah, howat Alah to grant us

7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.000
a new beginning. And we ask
a loss of Hannah, howat Alah to

8
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.000
make us from those who take heed, to make us from those who learn

9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.039
lesson, to make us from those
who seize the opportunity to learn his word

10
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.920
and to put it into practice.
And we ask a loss of Hannah,

11
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.880
howat Ailah never ever to make us
from those who lose hope in his mercy.

12
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.600
Honored LamaH, beloved brothers and sisters
and dearest listeners. This evening,

13
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:58.079
we have an extremely important subject,
so important that it affects every single one

14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.560
of us. Rasulu las allah Issalam
has warned us, saying in Naho nissful

15
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.560
ail me, it is half of
all knowledge. It is half of all

16
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.239
knowledge. And the prophets or a
lahoida hea seldom continues to tell us in

17
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:19.239
Nahu yunza it is going to be
taken away, well, in nahuau aluma

18
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.680
yunzaum in omati, it is going
to be the first knowledge that is going

19
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.280
to be taken away from my Omah. What is this? I'm sure a

20
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.760
lot of people would like to know
what it is before I tell you.

21
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.200
Let me explain to you. Yet
another point, rasululas or a lahoi he

22
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:40.799
seldom says, they will come a
time when people will dispute regarding it,

23
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.840
and there will be no one to
guide them, no one to tell them

24
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.200
what is right and wrong. And
even if there was someone to tell them

25
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.680
what is right or wrong, they
wouldn't tell them, fearing a backlash or

26
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:59.319
fearing malasuhnahuat Allah protect us the material
wealth of this world. So what is

27
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:06.079
the subject. The subject is the
laws of inheritance in the Shariah. These

28
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.400
laws are stipulated by a loss of
hannah howat alah. The reason is the

29
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.120
wealth that Allah gives me It is
not up to me to use it how

30
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.479
I want. I can use it
only within the framework that a loss of

31
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.960
Hannah howat Alah has dictated and has
set down. And this is something of

32
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.680
utmost importance. We ask a loss
of Hannah howat Alah to open the doors

33
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.520
for every single one of us when
we have money in our pockets. Let's

34
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.960
not think that we can use it
wherever we want. We can use it

35
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.039
for as long as it does not
contradict what a loss of Hannah howat Alah

36
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.680
has stipulated. We can use it
for as long as a loss of Hannah

37
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:49.000
houat Allah will not be upset because
of us using it in something prohibited.

38
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.960
And this is what we need to
realize. So what this means is a

39
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.879
loss of Hannah howat Alah gives us
wealth, and he gives us a framework

40
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.479
around which we will be utilizing and
making you of that wealth. Outside that

41
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.280
framework is not allowed. If that
is the case whilst we are living,

42
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:10.800
then surely even after we have passed
away, it is completely prohibited to do

43
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.199
whatever we would like. We need
to do what a loss of hannahawat Alah

44
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.039
has stipulated. And this is why
the laws of inheritance have been mentioned very

45
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.800
very clearly when it comes to Salah. When it comes to the acts of

46
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.560
worship such as prayer and zaka,
a loss of Hanahu at Alah has explained

47
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:35.120
the prayer, but not in detail
in the Puran. Rather, the detail

48
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.240
is found in the Sunna of Muhammad. Salaalahu aid he was seldom exactly how

49
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.719
to bow down, when to bow
down, or when to go for ruku,

50
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.319
when to go for sujud, and
how it is done, what to

51
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.680
say and so on. That explanation
you will find in the Sunna of Rasulu

52
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.879
lass Allahu aid he was seldom,
and in the Hadith in the life of

53
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.879
the prophet so Laaho aid he was
seldom. May peace be upon him.

54
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.479
But when it comes to the laws
of inheritance, a loss of hannah Allah

55
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.879
himself has explained in the greatest possible
detail, more than he has explained any

56
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:12.319
other act of worship. And this
all happens to be more so in one

57
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.439
sura, which is that sura.
It is known as Sura to Nissa,

58
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:20.199
the sura named after the womenfolk.
And why does a loss of Hannaha at

59
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.839
Allah make mention of the laws of
inheritance in the Sura after the womenfolk,

60
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.399
because many people cheat their women when
it comes to inheritance. Many people deceive

61
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:35.439
the females. Many people miscalculate and
do not give them sometimes, and if

62
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:41.160
they were to give them, they
would undervalue the properties so that they only

63
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.079
make them happy. You know,
when you talk of an estate worth ten

64
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.759
million rands, and you tell a
woman you know yours is one hundred thousand

65
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.519
rands, she'll be excited. So
Hannahah may a loss of Hannaha at ala

66
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.720
Grande's protection. But if her share
is two million or three million, and

67
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.519
we were only making happy by a
figure that she became excited with, in

68
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.360
that case we are eating from the
pieces of Jahannam, from the pieces of

69
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.120
hell fire. Male loss of Hannah
howat Alah protect us. And this is

70
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.879
why a loss of Hannah howat Alah
opens the Sura by making mention of certain

71
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.639
points regarding women and regarding the orphan
children, more so the female orphan child,

72
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.360
though both the orphans are included male
and female. But the lesson is

73
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.439
more for us regarding the female orphan
child and a loss of Hannah howat Alah.

74
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.439
Before I tell you the verses that
he has mentioned. Let me explain

75
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.000
to you what used to happen in
the pagan days, what used to happen

76
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:44.120
before Islam. A woman was regarded
as property. A woman was regarded as

77
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.680
merchandise. When someone owed someone else
a large amount of money, they would

78
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.680
then take along their daughter and go
and give her and say thank you very

79
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.959
much, and they would write off
the debt. Sometimes they would give out

80
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.480
their wives, and they would give
out their mothers and sisters in order to

81
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.000
be absolved of debt that they owed
somebody else. Male loss of hannaho a

82
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.360
to allah protect us. That was
what used to happen. When a man

83
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.319
dies, his wife was inherited by
those whom he owed money to, or

84
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.480
his wife was inherited by a brother, or by an uncle, or by

85
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.519
someone else. Or they would write
a will saying, when I die,

86
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.240
my wife must go to so and
so, my mother must go to so

87
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.319
and so, my daughter must go
to so and so. Male loss of

88
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.480
hannahow at allah protect us. So
a woman was regarded as a property.

89
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.600
Up to today, there are certain
cultures. When a woman gets married,

90
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.600
they charge money to give her off
because they consider her a piece of property.

91
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.480
Male loss of Hannah. What to
allah protect us? When I say,

92
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.079
they charge money. The father wants
an amount. He says, look,

93
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.040
I looked after her when she was
young. You've got to give me

94
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.480
ten thousand rands. The mother says, look, I had this, so

95
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.319
please, you need to give me
so much. And the uncle comes and

96
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.399
says, hang on, when she
went to school, she lived at my

97
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.519
house, so I need so much. All this is pagan in Islam.

98
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.800
It is unacceptable in Islam. When
marriage occurs, there is a small gift

99
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.480
known as a maha. It does
not translate as the word dowry, but

100
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.920
we can call it dowry for as
long as we understand that it's not the

101
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.399
exact term. A mahal is a
gift from the groom to the bride.

102
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.560
It is just a mere gifts of
hannah Lah declaring that from today onwards,

103
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.160
the responsibility of your food, clothing
and accommodation is upon myself, and that

104
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:29.959
responsibility the man is taking that responsibility
giving her a token, and that token

105
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.399
is a mere gift known as a
dowry. The father gets nothing, the

106
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.800
mother and the others get nothing.
Yes, if someone wants to give a

107
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:41.040
gift it's up to them. As
of Hannah at Ala grand is understanding.

108
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:46.560
So remembering that background, when Islam
came, when the prophets are alng wha

109
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.120
he was seldom came. The first
thing he did is he prohibited the burial

110
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:54.319
of girls. You know, people
become upset when they have a girl child.

111
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.040
They become very angry. Sometimes ma
Allah protect us. But at that

112
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.319
time, everyone used to get upset, say this is a girl, she's

113
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.199
not going to carry on my name. I rather have a boy who's going

114
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.959
to carry on my name, my
lineage. So they used to take the

115
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.040
girls one day and play with them, and take them and dig a hole

116
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.879
and put them in the hole and
tell them hang on recovering wen open just

117
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.519
now they cover it. They never
open malella protect us. And this is

118
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:26.920
why the Koran says, oh that
or so elet be at elt. When

119
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.839
the female child who was buried alive
will be asked on the day of Teyama,

120
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.759
what was the sin that made you
be buried alive? There was no

121
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.360
sin. A losses on that day. We will serve justice by taking to

122
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.559
task those who buried her alive.
So we ask a loss of Hannah,

123
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.720
howat Alah to protect us. So
the first thing that was prohibited, it

124
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.360
was prohibited to bury a girl child. Over and above that, it is

125
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.440
prohibited to have a bad feeling in
the heart when you are blessed with a

126
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.000
female child. And if you have
had that bad feeling, you need to

127
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.519
seek a loss forgiveness, because some
people say, I need a I need

128
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.480
a boy, I need a male, And when your wife gives birth to

129
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.240
a female, you get upset.
Oh no, it's the fourth girl.

130
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.840
Allah hu akabar that Hadid says,
anyone who has girls, looks after them

131
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.399
and gets them married off, gives
them a proper upbringing, gets them married

132
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.399
off to people who are reasonable and
decent. Allah will give them paradise in

133
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.080
return. So hanahah, Now,
how many of us want girls? Akaba?

134
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.240
We ask a loss of Hannah?
Howat Alah to grant us whatever is

135
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.440
best for us boys or girls for
as long as they are healthy, obedient

136
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.799
children. We think a loss of
Hannah. Howat Alah? Then a loss

137
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.639
of Hannah? Howat Alah has declared
and decreed that not only is it prohibited

138
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.039
to treat a female as property,
but you need to acknowledge that she has

139
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.360
the right to own property. So
hannaha. And this is why a loss

140
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:52.000
of hannah howat Alah says in sat
Nissa regarding the women wha to sah also

141
00:09:52.000 --> 00:10:11.639
a party for banala kumar in Navsa
for honey marry. You must give the

142
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.000
women folk that gift or that mah
or that dowry if you'd like to call

143
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.559
it, and you must give it
to them in full, and they are

144
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.399
the owners of it. You must
not take from it unless they themselves,

145
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.200
at their own discretion, decide to
give you from it or to give you

146
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.080
some wealth, then you may eat
it happily. Otherwise it is their wealth.

147
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.679
They can spend it wherever they want. And still the food, clothing

148
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:45.480
and accommodation of every female is a
duty upon her closest male relative. This

149
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.960
is something many people don't understand.
When a woman gets married in Islam,

150
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.000
she does not need one cent,
She does not need a penny, because

151
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.720
her basic necessities of food, clothing, and accommodation of a basic standard.

152
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.639
Who owes it to her her closest
male relative, in which case it would

153
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.120
be her husband. If she doesn't
have a husband, or she is widowed

154
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.240
and has an adult son, then
the adult son is the closest male relative.

155
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.519
If she doesn't have sons, then
the father, and even prior to

156
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.679
marriage it is the father. And
if she doesn't have the father, no

157
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.799
husband nor sons, then the brothers. If not the brothers, then the

158
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.679
uncles and so on. So Hannah
Lah, did we know that male loss

159
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.240
of Hannah? Howat Alah protect us
in fact, so much so that if

160
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.159
she does not have any male relatives
at all, it is the duty of

161
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.519
jamah atul Musliman, the congregation of
Muslims, to take care of that particular

162
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.879
female in her response, in her
basic necessities of food, clothing, and

163
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.080
accommodation. So that is the background. And now a loss of Hannah.

164
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.639
Howat Alah speaks about the orphan child, a loss of Hannah. Howat Alah

165
00:11:48.679 --> 00:12:03.440
says in this particular sura waatunaab famile
point. Give the orphan child his or

166
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.039
her wealth, and don't change the
wealth of an orphan which is good with

167
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.000
what you have which is bad.
So sometimes what people do. The father

168
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.919
has left some merchandise, the father
has left some goods, some stock,

169
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.720
and the father passes away. So
there comes a guardian, seeing that these

170
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.879
orphans are young, or it's a
girl, it's a female. Let's just

171
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.120
change all these beautiful irons which are
Mulinik's ISNs Marcia lah that is in the

172
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.559
business, and let's put in these
Chinese irons. I'm not saying Chinese irons

173
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.320
are bad, please, but I
am saying that they are much cheaper as

174
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.399
hanaht Ala grandez baraka in our business, whether we are selling Chinese stuff or

175
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.679
Japanese stuff. What beats me is
the two countries are right next to each

176
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.000
other. But if you say Japanese, I don't know why it holds a

177
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:58.240
value that the Chinese don't really hold. Hanahoat alah protect us. That's not

178
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.720
our topic tonight. However, let's
continue to make mention of how it is

179
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:09.519
prohibited to change that which the orphan
has been given by the one who is

180
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.399
deceased and change it with what you
have, or try and usurp it,

181
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.799
or try and undervalue it. Sometimes
they've left properties and you want the property,

182
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.600
so you go to the female and
say, you know what that house

183
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.440
is worth two million brands, I'm
going to give it to you, and

184
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.360
you know deep down it's worth ten
million. Lass of Hannah Howatala grandas all

185
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:35.840
protection. Alas su Hanah Howatala says, regarding this particular issue, the issue

186
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.919
of giving back the wealth to the
orphans in Sura to Nissa. Remember all

187
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.519
the verses I'm going to quote for
you tonight will be from Sura to Nissa.

188
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.759
If I mention otherwise, then it
will be from a different soura.

189
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.080
But this sura is the sura of
women because it is close to the hearts

190
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.159
of women when they are cheated,
when they are deceived. They are definitely

191
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.639
from amongst those who don't know much
at times about business dealings and about property

192
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.600
value use and so on. And
this is an address to the men folk

193
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.120
telling them that be careful how you
deal with the women folk. Don't cheat

194
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.720
them, don't deceive them, even
the orphans. Alas Suhanah howat Alas is

195
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:26.799
in Aladinaya Colona amaliatamaun man in Ama
coloona fima was Slona s those who eat

196
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.679
the wealth of orphans or who deceive
the orphans, they are eating the fire

197
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.200
of Johannam in their bellies. They
are eating the fire of hell in their

198
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.720
bellies. And Alas says, we
will then cast them into that fire sahwa

199
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:46.080
Granda's all protection. So when a
person passes away, what should happen.

200
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.759
The reality is, I do not
have a choice as to what is going

201
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.279
to happen with my wealth, nor
do you. I do not have a

202
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.440
say, nor do you. In
Islam, it is prohibited for anyone to

203
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.000
think that when they die they have
a choice as to where their money is

204
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.120
going to go. No you don't, and no I don't. If you

205
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.000
did not know that, listen very
carefully tonight. There is no scope for

206
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.960
myself or yourselves to decide what is
going to happen with my wealth when I

207
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.360
die. Nothing. It is a
last decision. And Allah says that.

208
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.759
So remember this. When a lass
says you have to give someone, you

209
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.519
have to give them. When a
las says you are not allowed to give

210
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.159
someone, you will not be allowed
to give them. When a lass says

211
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.360
you can only give them a fifth, you can give them a fifth.

212
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.080
In fact, a fifth is an
equation that is not really used when it

213
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.320
comes to inheritance. Let's use a
quarter or an eighth, or a sixth,

214
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.399
or a third or two thirds or
half laho akabal. These are equations

215
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.960
that are used in the Puran these
are proportions that are used in the Puran.

216
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.480
It is a lah who decides what
will happen with my wealth. When

217
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.039
I am alive, I can give
it within the limits of a loss of

218
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.639
Hannah. Howatalah as a gift to
whomsoever I wish. If I have children

219
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.360
whilst I am alive, I should
try my best to be fair when it

220
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.399
comes to giving them whatever I am
going to give them. So if I

221
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.080
give one child twenty thousand rands to
give the other child twenty thousand rands,

222
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:07.360
male or female, they are equal
whilst time alive. Whilst time alive,

223
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.399
male or female equal. And I
must try to be just between my children

224
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.799
because that is something extremely important.
Remember when children are very young, very

225
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.200
small, we need to realize that
if we favor one over the other,

226
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:25.159
it will result in an inferiority complex
with one and a superiority complex with the

227
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:30.799
other, and it can have far
reaching mental emotional effects that will only be

228
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.720
felt many decades later. Mala protect
us. So that is why we need

229
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.960
to treat all our children equally.
You kiss one, you kiss the other.

230
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.759
You buy something for one, you
buy for the other. Yes,

231
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.279
if one needs to be reprimanded.
You reprimand them within the limits, but

232
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.000
you don't go beyond the limits.
And remember something, don't praise one too

233
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.399
much in front of the other.
That is oppression. This is regarding our

234
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.519
own children. Now, if we
are meant not to praise one too much

235
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.120
over the other or in the presence
of the other, then what do you

236
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.200
think about wealth? Do you think
we will be allowed to be giving large

237
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.519
amounts to one and the other one? We say no, this one doesn't

238
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.319
spend. Think very carefully and sometimes
write down how much money one of your

239
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:12.079
children has taken from you, and
ask yourself how much have I spent on

240
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.839
the other one. Well, some
of our children become greedy because we have

241
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:21.799
a soft spot for them. Whilst
we don't realize, we accuse the other

242
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.119
ones of being greedy, yet they
are not. May a loss of hanahawat

243
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.880
Allah protect us, and may he
grant us understanding. So alas of hannahwat

244
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:33.039
Alah tells us that when a person
passes away, the first things you need

245
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.279
to do with their wealth three things. One is the burial costs. The

246
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:42.319
burial costs of myself and yourselves must
come out from my own estate unless there

247
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:47.079
is someone in my family or friends
or relatives who would like to volunteer with

248
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.319
that amount, then there is no
problem. I think in most cases many

249
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.319
people volunteer, the brothers or the
family members, and they give that wealth.

250
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.319
When it comes to burial expenses,
the coffin, the enshrouding, the

251
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.799
costs, the certificate, the death
certificates, and so on, all that,

252
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.519
by right should come out of the
estate. If someone volunteers, it

253
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.279
will be a good deed for them. The next thing that happens immediately is

254
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.240
the issue of paying the debts of
the deceased. Remember one thing, to

255
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:17.960
go and borrow money in Islam is
completely forbidden to borrow money from someone,

256
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.480
and to borrow something from someone is
totally prohibited. It's a major sin unless

257
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.519
you really need it. So there
is actually an exception when you borrow money

258
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.599
from someone. Why do you want
someone else's wealth with you? Do you

259
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.920
know how serious a crime that is? If you rarely need it, yes,

260
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.720
it's allowed, if you rarely need
it, there is there is an

261
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.920
exception. There is permissibility, but
the blanket rule is that it's not allowed

262
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.440
unless it is needed. The profits
are allowed alai Jus seldom used to come

263
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.240
after someone has passed away and the
janaza was ready, and he used to

264
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.680
stand in front of the dead person
to read the prayer. And he used

265
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:57.640
to look back and ask the companions
alai hi dnun, does he owe anyone

266
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:02.119
any money? And if they said
yes, he would turn around walk away

267
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.200
and tell them salu ala sahib become
you guys or you people use sahabah or

268
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.279
the allah hanham. You can continue
with the Salah. I am going away.

269
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.599
I cannot make to h for someone
who owes someone else money love who

270
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.720
akaba. That is how serious it
is, so much so that the sahaba

271
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.839
used to weep. They used to
cry when they when the profits allah who

272
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:22.799
you seldom used to be walking away
that one or two of them used to

273
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.559
say, yeah, a soula law, they are a soula law or messenger

274
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.839
of a law Allah. Yeah you
know who, I will pay that debt

275
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.799
of this particular person. Come and
read Salah. Then he used to look

276
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.000
back, turn and come back,
and then he used to say Allah for

277
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.079
the janaza. So hannahlah. That
is how serious it is to borrow money

278
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.039
from people to be in debt.
May Allah suhnahuach Alam make us from amongst

279
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.279
those who can pay our debts quickly, and may he make us from those

280
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:53.039
who are not too inclined into borrowing, borrowing, borrowing. Today the trend

281
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.000
is the house is not yet paid, the car is not yet paid,

282
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.920
the business is not yet paid.
This is not your paid. Everything is

283
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.960
higher purchase allahu akaba. When such
a person dies, what happens the system

284
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.200
of the dunya will probably take half
of the things away and will take what

285
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.079
you've already paid more than three quarters
for it will be taken away. Why,

286
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.200
because we've indulged in a system that
is unacceptable islamically. May a loss

287
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.079
of hanah howat Alah protect us.
So the point I'm raising here is when

288
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.200
a person passes away, the second
thing we will do is pay their debts.

289
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.680
Then, if you still have excess
money, there is some scope that

290
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.240
Allah has allowed myself and yourselves.
And let's listen very carefully. This is

291
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:36.799
a lesson, and this is a
lesson in the laws of inheritance. The

292
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.599
scope that a loss of hannah howat
Alah has permitted. He says, up

293
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:44.799
to one third of your wealth.
Let's listen very carefully, up to thirty

294
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.559
three point three percent, reccring up
to one third of your wealth. You

295
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:56.839
are allowed to bequeath it at your
discretion on conditions, and those conditions are

296
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.279
as follows. Let me repeat that, up to thirty free percent of your

297
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.640
wealth, you are allowed to write
it for someone whom you desire, on

298
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:11.039
condition that it is not a person
whom Allah has already given a share,

299
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.680
like your son, your daughter,
your father, your mother, and your

300
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.200
spouse. You are not allowed to
change that share, neither decrease it nor

301
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:23.519
increase it. But a person who's
not going to receive anything. Let's say,

302
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:29.000
for example, you have a relative
or you have a son who's not

303
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:33.640
a Muslim, and you are a
Muslim. Now, from the laws of

304
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.839
a loss of Hannahuatalah, that child
who is not a Muslim will not receive

305
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.640
anything. But Allah allows you to
give them something at your discretion up to

306
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:48.839
thirty three percent, which means the
entire bequest must not exceed thirty three percent.

307
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.440
So now you can write there to
say, look, my other sons

308
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.559
and daughters who are Muslims, they
will receive so much. But I accepted

309
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.519
Islam. The son of mine did
not. I tried with him and so

310
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.640
on. I still feel he's a
good I'd like to give him five percent

311
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.480
of my entire estate. There's nothing
wrong with that. You will get it

312
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:10.359
even though he's not a Muslim.
Why because that Allah left at your discretion.

313
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.160
But if you did not write it, he won't get it. Because

314
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.799
Allah says, whether you write or
you do not write, we will distribute

315
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.000
your estate all of it. But
if you have written up to thirty three

316
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.200
point three percent, you are allowed
to state whom you would like to give

317
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.119
wealth to. Maybe you had a
maid who worked very hard and she accepted

318
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.359
Islam, and you would like to
acknowledge it by writing, when I die,

319
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.359
give her ten thousand rands. There's
nothing wrong with that. You want

320
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.079
to give ten thousand rands to a
message it, you want to give one

321
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.759
hundred thousand rands to an orphanage,
you want to do good deeds for as

322
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.880
long as that amount does not exceed
thirty three point three percent, or the

323
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.920
entire amount does not exceed thirty three
point three percent, you are allowed to

324
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:55.039
write it down and to request it
and bequest it. Alasu hanah howach ala

325
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.839
grandez understanding, Let's move a little
bit further so, now this is regarded

326
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:03.839
as what is known as wi yah
warsia means the bequest, that is the

327
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.960
third thing that I have to fulfill
on behalf of the deceased. If I

328
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.200
am the executor of that particular will, or if I am the guardian of

329
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.279
the person who's passed away, or
if I am the person whom they have

330
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:21.039
left behind, malas hanahwat Allah make
us all strong. Now, if a

331
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:25.519
person has written more than thirty three
point three percent for someone, then it

332
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.240
is the duty of the person who
is executing the will not to fulfill it

333
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.720
all, meaning not to fulfill it
more than thirty three point three percent.

334
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:38.359
And this is something we need to
understand because if that person did it intentionally,

335
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.160
they will be punished. And if
they did it out of error,

336
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.559
you need to rectify the error.
And if they did it intentionally, over

337
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.599
and above the punishment, if you
rectify it, there is a chance that

338
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.079
Allah might forgive them. And this
is why we say, let us not

339
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.160
punish those who've passed away from our
families. Who have written wrong wills,

340
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.119
go and correct. I remember one
thing that is so beautiful. All the

341
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.960
schools of thought are united when it
comes to the laws of inheritance. The

342
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:10.759
basic principles of the laws of inheritance. All the schools of thought, all

343
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.640
the madhabs, and all the different
types of the Muslims agree to that.

344
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.319
Because the details are in the Quran. There is no ways that we are

345
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.960
allowed to sway this way or that
way. Say, for example, a

346
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.880
person has an illegitimate child, May
Allah protect us all the illegitimate child will

347
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.599
not inherit because they are illegitimate.
They will not inherit from the portions that

348
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:37.079
Allah has decreed. But Allah,
so Hannah hawat Allah gives you up to

349
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.759
thirty three point three percent, and
from that you might decide to write to

350
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.960
give that biological child a certain amount
and they will get it. They will

351
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.960
receive it if you've written it,
even if they are illegitimate, and even

352
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.319
if they are not Muslim, even
if they are not related to you in

353
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:55.640
any way. Suhannah hawat Alah grant
us that understanding. So if you haven't

354
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:59.279
written anything, the illegitimate child will
not get up any That is why it

355
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.920
is important to write it down and
register it with your lawyer or the accountant,

356
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.279
with the high courts and so on. Depending on the law of your

357
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.519
land. And it's important that anyone
who has any amount of wealth you need

358
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.720
to write down what you'd like to
do with that wealth. If you are

359
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.039
living in a non Muslim country,
it is very important that you visit the

360
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.200
ulamah. You go and see the
forms that you have in order to fill

361
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.519
them properly, so that your will
can be written and registered with the courts

362
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.039
of this land, so that the
day you die, it will be executed

363
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.519
islamically. Because we are not living
in an Islamic country, so we ask

364
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.720
a loss of Hannah howat Alah to
grant us understanding. Now let's go to

365
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:38.839
the first verse. The first verse
connected to the splitting of wealth and a

366
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:44.160
loss of Hannah. Howat Alah speaks
to us very beautifully, and in fact,

367
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.079
before I mentioned this first verse,
there is one more very serious point.

368
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.440
The laws of inheritance are the only
laws where a loss of hannahwat Alah

369
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:59.920
says, whoever does not fulfill these
laws, they will go into Jahan,

370
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:08.480
into hell fire forever and ever.
Wamsui laharasu lahu wayata ad dah doo dahoo

371
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:22.240
yudhil hona on hali de lahou whoever
does not fulfill these particular limits of a

372
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.480
loss of hannahuata Allah, the degree
of Allah regarding the laws of inheritance,

373
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:29.319
Alla says, they will go into
hell fire forever and ever, and that

374
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.880
will be a severe punishment for them. Now, the Mufasirin have interpreted it

375
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.960
in different ways. You and I
know that muslim will not be in hell

376
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.880
fire forever and ever. At some
point they will come out. So why

377
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.960
is the term forever and ever used
here? Number one? Some of the

378
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.000
lama say it is to show you
the long duration of the stay in Johannam

379
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:55.359
in Hell Allah protectors. The others
say that because they are verses of the

380
00:26:55.480 --> 00:27:00.640
Qur'an that explicitly mention the portions.
If you did not give one portion to

381
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.079
one person, you lost your Islam
and your Imaan, and you no longer

382
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.720
a Muslim, because to deny one
verse of the Koran you lose your Holy

383
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.759
i Man. And if you've lost
your Imaun, you can now fall into

384
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.480
the category where Alas is going to
Johanna forever and ever alas of hannahawa to

385
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.559
Allah protect us. This is so
serious that the Sahama of the allahu anhum

386
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:25.319
used to make sure that they split
the inheritance to the tea. And whenever

387
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.920
they were told something, whenever they
were not sure about something, they went

388
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.839
to ask the most knowledgeable, and
whenever there was a ruling maid, they

389
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.480
followed it to the tea because they
did not want a few dollars and a

390
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.079
few grams of gold and a few
ounces in this dunya to result in them

391
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.279
going into hell fire. Alas of
hannahua to Allah protect us all. Now

392
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.119
let's get to that verse. Alas
says, you see, come along,

393
00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:06.119
lady kum li la carrims no howl
in. Allah commands you. Allah instructs

394
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:11.759
you. He makes it obligatory upon
you. It is compulsory upon you that

395
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:18.799
your children, male and female,
they get your wealth after your death in

396
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:23.359
such a way that the male child
will receive double the share of a female

397
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:27.839
child. That is justice laho akaba. Now let's pause there for a moment.

398
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.079
The male child will receive double that
of a female child. So if

399
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.319
there are seventy five thousand dollars,
the male will get fifty thousand and the

400
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.440
female will get twenty five thousand.
Many people might be thinking that it's not

401
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:48.400
fair. Let me explain to you
today that is the most fair judgment,

402
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:55.440
that is honoring a woman beyond what
myself and yourselves could have comprehended had it

403
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.079
not been for the explanation of the
creator. Let me now explain to you

404
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.160
they are non Muslims, and there
are some Muslims who are weak, who

405
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.880
don't have knowledge, who say,
how come Islam dishonors a woman by giving

406
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:12.200
her half that of what a man
gets when they are both equally related to

407
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:17.799
the deceased. The answer is no. To a fool, it might seem

408
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.200
for a moment Mala protect us that
the woman has less. But to an

409
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.200
intellectual who has studied Islam, he
will know that that means a woman has

410
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:32.079
more. Let me explain to you
she got twenty five thousand dollars and he

411
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:37.599
got fifty thousand dollars. I am
telling you properly from knowledge that she has

412
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.960
more than him. Now let me
explain, and you will smile when you

413
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:48.359
hear. Akaba, I told you
moments ago that a woman, she has

414
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.880
no financial obligations at all, no
obligations at all. Her food, clothing,

415
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:59.359
and accommodation is whose duty the closest
male relative. So when there is

416
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.359
a brother an the sister who is
the closest male relative. The brother,

417
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:08.519
the twenty five thousand she got is
only hers extras for cosmetics and for doing

418
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.839
whatever she pleases, and for saving
and investing, whereas the fifty thousand he

419
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.920
got. The poor man has to
look after his wife, He has to

420
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.599
look after his mother, and the
same sister who got twenty five thousand,

421
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:25.599
and himself and his children. Now
there are eight people sharing the fifty thousand

422
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.920
and her twenty five. She is
the queen. She is the queen,

423
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.759
sitting back, relaxing, buying all
her cosmetics and enjoying life Subhannah lah.

424
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:37.079
And she still goes to the brother
and says, hang on, I got

425
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.000
my twenty five, but I need
you to pay my rent here wah.

426
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.920
The man says, but I only
got fifty. Now you tell me who

427
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:48.720
got more. So let us understand. If the closest male relative is not

428
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.480
fulfilling his Islamic duty, why must
you blame the Islamic law for what?

429
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:56.480
And this is why. Let's move
to the next part of the verse.

430
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:03.319
Powerful alas Hannah howatala is there?
He says, I know how this wealth

431
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.160
should be distributed? Fairly, and
what I do is the most fair and

432
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:14.960
it is the most protective over the
females. Listen to what alas is fakanisa

433
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:26.400
faul pathnatain inphalaulthamatarak. If there is
no son and they are two daughters or

434
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.119
more than two daughters, then they
must get two thirds of the entire estate.

435
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.720
So han alah, that is the
biggest share you can ever hear of

436
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:38.240
when it comes to the laws of
inheritance. Two thirds is going to these

437
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.400
two daughters because there's no son.
Why did a lah give these girls such

438
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:48.200
a huge share? No male ever
gets two thirds. It is only two

439
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.279
sisters if they are the closest to
the deceased, or the two children the

440
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.200
two daughters. If they are the
closest to the deceased and there is no

441
00:31:55.480 --> 00:32:00.240
equivalent male relative with the same link
to the deceased, then they will get

442
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.319
two thirds of the wealth. Do
you know why? There are many reasons.

443
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.680
One of them is the minute you
don't have a person who is a

444
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.759
male related to the dead person with
a similar link as you, and you

445
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.319
are a female, there is a
chance that the closest male relative to you

446
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.000
might not really look after you.
Properly, So you need more wealth,

447
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.680
subhanah lah, subhannah lah. So
now the closest male relative is an uncle,

448
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.319
so alas is no hang on.
The uncle must look after you.

449
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.799
But still we want to give you
two thirds just in case. Wella protect

450
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.079
us all, subhanah lah. And
that two thirds is a large amount.

451
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:42.200
It is the biggest share that is
ever spoken about in the laws of inheritance

452
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.079
in Islam. It is for females. Then a loss of hannah Taalah continues.

453
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.160
I'm sure the women must be smiling
suhannah lah, and they must be

454
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:52.480
thinking not how big the share is, but how they're going to go to

455
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.880
all the men and tell them,
Hey, my food, my clothing,

456
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:00.440
my accommodation, your responsibility. Remember
one thing, and this is on serious

457
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.200
note, but also on a like
note. You can't come and claim right

458
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.640
you owe me accommodation. I'm going
to VNA every night. You need to

459
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.000
pay the bill, and you owe
me, for example, food, So

460
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:14.200
I'm going every day to eat out
at Nando's. So hannah lah, so

461
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.599
you need to pay my bill.
No, he needs to pay what is

462
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.680
reasonable according to his capacity and according
to the level that is known within the

463
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.880
area that you are living and within
the families you are living in the alas

464
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:30.319
of Hannah, howat ala grand is
understand it now, a lah continues,

465
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:37.599
alas of Hannah, howat alas is? What canat that falah? Is?

466
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:43.799
If she is just one daughter,
one female, one daughter or the closest

467
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:46.599
child, the closest female child to
the deceased is a sister, just one,

468
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.759
she gets half of the wealth,
half of the entire estate, fifty

469
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.400
percent. That also is one of
the biggest chairs. It is the second

470
00:33:55.440 --> 00:34:00.559
biggest chair that is ever spoken about
in inheritance. A lah, take a

471
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.519
look at that, look at the
justice of a loss of hannahawat alah and

472
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.719
why because again, if she is
one she needs some wealth. There might

473
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:12.360
be a person who is close to
them as a male or the closest male

474
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:15.480
relative, who might not be fulfilling
their duty. Like what is happening on

475
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:21.679
the globe today in the Western cultures, they have now enslaved a female and

476
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.679
told her, no, you must
go out to work. What's the idea

477
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:28.840
they are fooling the female. You
must go out to work, you must

478
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.360
earn money, you must have your
own wealth, and so on. Then

479
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.400
when it comes to the end,
they say fifty to fifteen. Allah ak

480
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.000
Look how they hang away. When
it comes to food, they say,

481
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.800
you must chip in fifty to fifteen, whereas a Muslim male with a Muslim

482
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:44.000
female, you must say listen,
if you work, it's your money.

483
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.679
I am still responsible for one hundred
percent of the food, clothing, and

484
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:50.880
accommodation. If you want to help
me, it's your goodness. If not,

485
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:52.840
then it's still your right. Male. A loss of hannahawa to alah

486
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:58.320
grant us all comfort in our homes
and contentment. This is why let's not

487
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:04.039
be fooled by all different cultures and
modernization that come to us from behind the

488
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:06.960
brain, not from in front of
it. They come from behind the brain,

489
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:08.880
and they con us telling us,
you know what, you are not

490
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:14.760
treating your females equally. In fact, today I was contacted by someone saying

491
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:20.400
they read an article where it was
written that the Muslim females are putting bags

492
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:25.599
bin bags on their heads, and
they are made and subjected by their males

493
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:31.039
to become little tools and objects,
and they are oppressed. Lahu akaba.

494
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.880
I would not even respond to something
of that nature because they know they just

495
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.800
want fame and glory. Those who
want to attack Islam nowadays they want fame

496
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:44.079
and glory. They know that their
own daughters are thinking about converting to Islam,

497
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.599
and this is why it's becoming dangerous
for them. So this is the

498
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:51.719
only way. Someone sent me an
e mail. Very interesting they showed me.

499
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:57.039
And this is very very interesting.
They say when a woman covers her

500
00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.599
nose and her mouth when they say
she is oppressed, and they say it

501
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:05.480
is haram, and they want to
prohibit it in certain countries. Allah sent

502
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:08.599
a swine flu where the whole world
is covering their mouths and faces, and

503
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:14.320
even men are now in nkab so
hanada. Anywhere you go, you see

504
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.519
them in mikhab. Allah is punishing
them to say, you want the women

505
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:21.840
not to erit, we will force
you to arit. A loss of Hannah.

506
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:27.440
Howa to Alah protect us all that
is the power of the creator.

507
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.719
And people don't even realize that.
They don't understand. Now when the doctor

508
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.639
comes with that mask, tell him, doctor, is your wife oppressing you?

509
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.320
So here we have the law of
a loss of Hannah. A loss

510
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:45.000
of Hannah. Howat Alah tells us
very very clearly that these women folk.

511
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:47.079
There are men to be looked after. If they are not being looked after,

512
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:51.960
don't blame the religion, Blame the
individual, Blame the situation. A

513
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.599
loss of hannahawat ala grandas all understanding, then a loss of Hannah howat Alah

514
00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:00.320
speaks about the parents. I've spoken
about the children. Now let's speak about

515
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:04.480
the parents. Now. If there
is one son, single son alone,

516
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:07.639
he will get the remainder of the
estate after the dews that are fixed by

517
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.800
alas of hannahwat Alah. That is
why the one son alone is not discussed

518
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:15.800
here, because if the son is
alone or there are two sons, they

519
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.960
will share it equally. There are
three sons, they will share it equally.

520
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.719
There are three sons and one daughter. What you do is you count

521
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:28.159
two shares for every male and one
share for every female, and you will

522
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:32.199
then have six plus one seven shares. You divide that estate into seven and

523
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:36.599
you then give two shares to every
male and one share to every female.

524
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.639
Males of hanahwat ala Grande is a
deep understanding. So Alasu hanahwat Alah says

525
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:52.000
Wali abaikuni wa hiding in m as
Sodosumi matarakak Alahu alad, the parents will

526
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:58.280
receive one sixth. The parents will
receive one sixth each. If the person

527
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:02.000
who died has a That is very
simple. Look at the justice in it.

528
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:06.039
If the person who died has a
child, the child needs to get

529
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:09.519
something. So let's give the parents
one six each because they also deserve something.

530
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:15.119
But if there is no child,
then the mother will get one third

531
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.880
and the father will get the balance. After everybody gets so Hannah Lah,

532
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.280
why because they don't have a child. So who is the next closest?

533
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.559
The parents the strongest link to myself
and yourselves when it comes to the laws

534
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:31.159
of inheritance. Your children, they
are the strongest link when it comes to

535
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:36.280
the laws of inheritance. Thereafter your
parents, that is the next link.

536
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:38.280
A loss of Hannah howat Alah speaks
about it, and a loss of Hannah

537
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:50.719
howat alas say is for ela mia
colaalado baa falium. If the man or

538
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:54.480
the person who passed away does not
have a child, and the parents are

539
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:59.000
the ones who are inheriting, then
the mother must get one third, the

540
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:01.400
father will get the balance. The
mother must get one third. No longer

541
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:06.039
one sixth. One sixth is a
smaller portion. That is, when the

542
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:07.840
man has a child, or when
the deceased, even if she's a female,

543
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:12.039
has a child. But when she
doesn't have a child or he doesn't

544
00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:14.719
have a child, the mother will
get one third and the father will get

545
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:27.320
the balance. Then alas is fakanalahoy
too his sodos, And if the deceased

546
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:31.400
person has brothers or sisters, then
the mother will still get one sixth.

547
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:38.239
The mother will get one sixth.
Why because now the brothers and sisters come

548
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:42.719
into the picture. If they don't
have children, they've got parents, and

549
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.840
they have brothers and sisters, then
the mother will get one sixth and the

550
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:50.320
brothers and sisters will then come into
the picture. They will then share the

551
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.800
balance. We ask a loss of
hannahua talah to protect us all and to

552
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:58.199
make us from those who not only
understand these rules, but who apply them

553
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.840
and put them into practice. Let's
move first, a loss of hannahwat Alah

554
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:07.400
speaks about the husband and the wife. He says, and before he says

555
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:10.360
that, he tells us, you
don't know who is closer to you in

556
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:14.760
benefit from your parents or your children. You don't know who's going to die

557
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:16.880
first, Your son might make you
a rich man. When he dies,

558
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:20.480
you might get his wealth, and
it might be the other way around.

559
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.159
You might die before him. And
Alas says, you never know who will

560
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:36.039
benefit you most ah bah okum aberna
unkum later donayhum a hoorabula kum na fa

561
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:40.400
your parents and your children. You
do not know who are closer to you

562
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:44.719
in benefit. We ask a loss
of hannahawat alah to protect us. Let

563
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:49.679
me show you a few points that
are mentioned under this verse. Sometimes a

564
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.480
person has five sons, just an
example, and four of them are with

565
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.440
him, They listen to him,
one has never asked about him, gone

566
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:02.199
away, got married to a The
father wasn't happy and possibly was swearing the

567
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.079
father and cursing, maybe even had
a few bad habits here and there.

568
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:09.679
And the father comes to the ulama
and says, I want to block this

569
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:15.599
son from getting anything because he is
very, very disobedient. That is completely

570
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.199
harmed. It is forbidden. Didn't
I tell you moments ago? You don't

571
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:24.840
decide who's gonna get Allah decides Alas
sub Hannahuatala decides, you will not block

572
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:28.960
your son or your daughter, even
if you don't like them, may Allah

573
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:31.519
protect us. You cannot block your
father or your mother, even if you

574
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:37.320
don't like them. You cannot do
that. You cannot block anyone Allah has

575
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:39.280
given, even if they are your
brothers and sisters. In the case where

576
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.559
you don't have children, even if
you don't like them, they will definitely

577
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:45.920
get a share if Allah has written
it, whether you like it or not.

578
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:51.920
And this is why what happens sometimes
is the four are very, very

579
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.639
nice because they know Dad is very
rich. As soon as he dies,

580
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:57.239
I'm going to be a millionaire,
so let's be good to him. So

581
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.800
they're very good. That one he
says, listen, put Dad in his

582
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:01.679
I'm not worried no matter what,
whether I get the money or not.

583
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:05.559
If Dad is committing a sin,
he is committing a sin. I'm going

584
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:07.679
to speak out and I'm going to
say things as of Hannah, howata Allah

585
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:12.079
protect us. So what happens.
The father then wants to stop that child,

586
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:15.239
but the Alamah guide the father and
say no, you cannot stop the

587
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:19.599
child from inheriting. The day the
father dies, those four will be happy

588
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:22.679
enjoying their wealth. This one here
might be the first one to raise his

589
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:27.960
hands to say oh Allah forgive my
father. That one to our is better

590
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:30.320
than what the other four have ever
done for that father. So allahs say,

591
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:34.239
is you don't know. There is
a chance that that child you don't

592
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.000
really get on with might be the
only child who will remember you for long

593
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.400
and long after your death. So
that is why be fair when it comes

594
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:45.440
to your children, even after you've
died. If the problem is solved at

595
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:46.960
that time, only Allah knows,
and all is the one in charge.

596
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.000
A lie is the one who owns
the hearts. Malus of Hannah amat Alah

597
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.000
grandaus a balance and make us from
amongst those who are fair and just at

598
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:59.920
all times. So now let's take
a look. Sometimes you have people who

599
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:02.239
say, no, I would like
to sort out my money and my wealth

600
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:07.280
now so that when I die there's
no problem, no fighting. That's fine,

601
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:10.599
But what that would entail is as
follows. You would have to take

602
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:15.000
all your wealth and distribute it evenly
between the males and the females, and

603
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:19.280
give it to them and make them
the owners of it. In such a

604
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.159
way that you have nothing remaining,
not even a house to live in.

605
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.079
Then you tell your son, listen, my son, out of your goodness,

606
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:28.599
can you keep me in your house
until the point I die? The

607
00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:30.760
son says, no problem, dad. Sometimes the sons might say, Dad,

608
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:35.360
there's the door. If they say
that, then subhanahlah, the dad

609
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.599
has to go out. The son
will be punished for not having looked after

610
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:42.519
his father bah suhanahlah. It's his
right. He's got the wealth. If

611
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.679
the father is being a pain and
interfering in the life, and that is

612
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.480
a problem that many young couples face
interference from parents on both sides. That

613
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:54.000
is what is destroying marriages. Many
times marriages are destroyed not because of a

614
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:58.760
husband and wife, because of fathers
and in laws and mothers and mothers in

615
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:00.920
law. We alla protectors, not
all the time, but many times.

616
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:06.679
This is why do not interfere in
the independence of your children. The only

617
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:09.960
time you interfere with a married couple
is when they are turning away from allah

618
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:14.880
so hannah howat alah. Whether they
attend a function or not is none of

619
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.239
your business. If they say,
mom, we don't want to attend this,

620
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:20.000
they don't have to. If they
say we don't want to come here,

621
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.519
we don't want to eat together,
no problem. Don't hate them for

622
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:24.400
that. It's their right. If
they say we need our privacy, they

623
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:29.239
are given that privacy by the creator. Let them live their life. Why

624
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.920
do you want to interfere and destroy
people's marriages? May Allah su Hannah howat

625
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:37.599
Alah make us parents and parents in
law whom our children and children in law

626
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:40.519
are proud of, and not those
who are cursed. Every time the daughter

627
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:44.159
in law raises her hands. Ya
Allah, Yallah, take mine, mother

628
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.760
in law away, YadA malakulmote came. The angel of death came so much

629
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:52.039
in our area. Yallah. You're
missing this address, your love. I

630
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:54.519
want to tell you it's number fifty
six, your love, Allas of Hanah,

631
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:58.800
howat Allah protect us so we don't
want this to happen. Love your

632
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:00.440
life in such a way that people
people adore you. The way they are

633
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.800
going to adore you is give them
their freedom. So Hannah lah allow them

634
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:08.039
to live. And this is a
powerful message, probably extremely strong. I'm

635
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:12.840
sure a lot of people suffer this
because as a counselor, we go through

636
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.760
so many things. We know exactly
which buttons to press when we have to

637
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.480
press them. As of Hannah at
Allah grand us all protection and understanding.

638
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:22.760
I see a lot of the young
people smiling. I don't know whether it

639
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:27.039
is a difficulty or whether it is
an ease. As of Hannah, at

640
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:31.239
Allah grand us all goodness in Chavah. So if a person then distributes his

641
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:35.079
wealth, he is not allowed to
say, right, I'm giving you this

642
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:37.639
house. You will get that,
property, you will get this, You

643
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:40.159
will get that when I die.
You must take it the minute you say

644
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:44.800
the word when I die. Already
you have no more. Say Allah has

645
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:46.599
the say. So if you want
to give give it now and give it

646
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:50.440
to them, make them the owners
of it in your life in such a

647
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.800
way that you have nothing. Or
if you want to connect it to your

648
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.440
death, then you don't have a
say. You can't say when I die,

649
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:58.159
you get this, you get that, you get this, you get

650
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:00.679
that. No, it's a loss
of Hannah. Howat Ala who decides now?

651
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:06.599
Alas of Hannah, howat Ala grande
is all protection and understanding. Let's

652
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.159
move further. Alass of Hannah,
howat Ala tells us as husbands alasses waala

653
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:17.159
comnis from taraka azua ju kom ila
miakun la hun nawadad for you is half

654
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:22.800
of what your wives live if they
do not have children if they do not

655
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:27.119
have children. So if your wife
doesn't have a child she passes away,

656
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:30.880
you get half of her estate fifty
percent in Islam if she has a child

657
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:42.920
alasses for incanada hun nawalado phada komooboomi
matarakna alasses. If they do have children,

658
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.400
then you will only get twenty five
percent of the entire estate, not

659
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:51.119
fifty because we need to take consideration
of her children. You as a father

660
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:55.599
might get married again and that step
mother might not be as kind as the

661
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:59.480
real mother of those children. So
we now need to give a share to

662
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:02.320
those children, even though you,
as a father are alive. Subhanah Lah.

663
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:07.440
Look at how Allah has protected everyone, and now people want to say

664
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:12.079
the laws of inheritance are not fake
Subhannah Lah. Malas of Hanah what ala

665
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:15.440
grand is understanding. Some say when
the spouse dies, the other spouse must

666
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:20.039
take everything. That is also oppression
because what happens to the children. They

667
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:23.599
also need a financial backing. They
also need something Malas of Hanahwat Alah really

668
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:29.119
open our eyes to the truth and
may he guide those who don't know the

669
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:34.159
details of Islam and the Kuran towards
this Kuran and towards Islam. It is

670
00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:39.039
definitely full of justice. Listen to
what Allah says thereafter, whilahuarobo or me

671
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:46.719
mataktun in lamia kulla kumoelad for them
meaning for the wives, is twenty five

672
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:51.840
percent of your wealth when you have
died, if you have no children,

673
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.719
so you have no children, you
pass away, your wife gets twenty five

674
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:59.400
percent. One might ask what happens
to the rest? Don't worry about what

675
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:02.239
happens to them. It's not coming
to you. You have died, grand

676
00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:07.840
us understanding. Rather, what happens
to the rest is it goes to the

677
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:12.039
others whom Allah has given the shares, the father, the mother, the

678
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.599
brothers, the sisters at times depending
on who is the closest and so on.

679
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:29.000
Then Alas says for kan lamadom fordamonomi
rocktom and if you do have a

680
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.360
child, then your wife will only
get twelve and a half percent, which

681
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:37.280
is one eighth because your child also
needs to get something, because that wife

682
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:43.000
might get married, and who knows
that husband might not financially support your child

683
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.119
though the mother is still alive.
So Alla says, we want to protect

684
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:49.920
them, hold that wealth and remember
never cheat the person a loss of hanahwat

685
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:54.360
alah grant us understanding. Now we've
got another issue. A person passes away.

686
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:58.239
They don't have parents, they don't
have children. Now what to do

687
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.320
alas of hanahuatlah does us as this. They don't even have brothers, they

688
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:13.079
don't even have sisters. Alahamadala talks
about this. Alas is what kajudoi Latin

689
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:29.679
him a par equally mean home as
sodos for in kanokar medlic for whom shuraka

690
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.719
lasses. If a person passes away, they have no ascendants, no descendants,

691
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:42.840
but they only have a step brother
or sister from the mother. Then

692
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:46.320
that brother or sister from the mother, if they do have that, will

693
00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:52.519
get a sixth if they are alone, and if they are more than one,

694
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:57.000
then they will share one third.
Now the question comes, obviously,

695
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:01.320
this is about a step brother and
sister from the mother. What about a

696
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:06.840
person who's got real brothers and sisters, so they don't have mothers and fathers,

697
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:09.519
or they don't have children, but
real brothers and sisters. Allah says

698
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:14.079
at the end of Sua tu nissa, very beautiful. You see these verses

699
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:17.320
are at the beginning of Sura nissa. Then Alasu Hannahowatala speaks about so many

700
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:21.480
other rules and regulations pertaining to women
in that same sura, and right to

701
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.559
the end he ends with another rule
about inheritance. Do you know why,

702
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:30.599
some of the Alama of tass say
it is because when the men and when

703
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:34.920
the Muslims read Sura nissa, they
will read the laws of inheritance. It

704
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.719
will wake them up. But by
the time they read all the other things,

705
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:39.920
they might become oblivious of it.
So Alla says at the end,

706
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:44.079
we put one more vers to remind
you of everything else that went back,

707
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:46.760
Laho akaba. So that's why when
we end the sura, we end with

708
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:50.840
one more verst to tell you listen, don't forget what we just told you,

709
00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:54.400
Lahu akaba. Listen to what Alla
says. Yes, steptun and oh

710
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:58.679
Muhammad salaalaha a yoursel. They ask
you, they ask you a decree.

711
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:04.800
They are asking you a question about
what about a pam asked ellah you ta

712
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:15.079
kum film kahlala anymore on hala kalai
salahuadulah Falahann's formattarrak alas is Allah, who

713
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:19.280
will give you the ruling about al
kahlala. What is the meaning of klala?

714
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.719
Listen very carefully. The Arabic sounds
very interesting. Madla a la da

715
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:27.519
llah alla wad it a person who
has no children, no parents, That

716
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.920
is kalala. That is a person
who is kalala male or female. So

717
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:38.639
what if a person has passed away
as klala meaning no children, no parents

718
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:45.199
alases, If they have a sister, the sister gets half subhanahlah fifty percent

719
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:49.280
of the wealth the sister gets.
Then what happens to the rest? It

720
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.840
goes to the nearest. Now the
uncles and aunts come into the picture and

721
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:54.719
so on. We're not going to
go into that detail because we've only got

722
00:51:54.760 --> 00:52:00.239
one hour to speak. And alas
hu hannah. What Ala says if there

723
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:05.039
are more than one sisters without any
brothers. If she is a single sister

724
00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:08.199
without a brother, she gets half
of his wealth, of the brother's wealth.

725
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:15.119
Imagine the sister can inherit from a
brother if she is the only relative

726
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:20.559
and the one the brother has no
children, no parents. And then if

727
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:28.960
there are more than one sisters alasses
for in cana naini fella humatho than me.

728
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.400
If there are more than one,
if there are two of them,

729
00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:37.639
alasses, they get two thirds of
the entire estate. Who's going to look

730
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:39.199
after them? But even if they
are married, they're still going to get

731
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:45.199
two thirds of Hannahlah, What a
lucky husband, Mashallah. Then alaso Hannah,

732
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:57.039
what alas is? What you can
is waterni Jallah, he'sa fedi lakary

733
00:52:57.079 --> 00:53:10.360
meth no holing you buying a long
ulakum will a long inkuni in. If

734
00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:15.079
there are brothers and sisters, then
they will share it in such a way

735
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:19.800
that the male will get double that
of a female. And I told you

736
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:22.320
that in essence is giving more to
the female. Didn't we start off like

737
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:25.559
that? So, Hannahlah, we
are also ending like that. Allah says,

738
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:30.639
Allah has made these laws very clear
for you, so that you are

739
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:36.440
not led astray. Allah is all
wise and all knowledgeable. So these are

740
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:40.119
some of the most important rules of
inheritance. Look at the detail in which

741
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:45.000
the Qur'an has spoken about it.
I think it is our duty that after

742
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:51.760
this appetizer, after this appetizer of
the laws of inheritance, we all make

743
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:55.159
it our business to go out and
learn what Allah says about inheritance. We

744
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:59.880
don't have a say. When it
comes to after death, it will have

745
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:02.719
happened the way Allah wants it to
happen. Yes, I did tell you.

746
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:07.159
The one third Allah is the one
who gave us a discretion with certain

747
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:12.920
conditions. And this is why we
are not allowed to give a person who

748
00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:16.119
has already got a fixed portion in
the puran. Let me mention a few

749
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:23.000
more very interesting points. When is
a person blocked from inheriting? When will

750
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:28.000
they not inherit? That's a good
question. One of the times when a

751
00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:31.719
person will not inherit is if he
or she was the murderer of the one

752
00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:37.440
they are supposed to have inherited from. If he or she had murdered the

753
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:42.440
one whom they were supposed to inherit
from, they won't inherit, not at

754
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:46.280
all, not in a million years. Because Allah needs to protect a rich

755
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:51.360
man from his own sons first before
others, and from his own daughters.

756
00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:55.599
I've heard of stories where a big
life policy is taken out on someone and

757
00:54:55.719 --> 00:54:59.960
the son kills the person in order
to get the money from that insurance.

758
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.880
Allah protectors, so alasa is if
there is homicide, they, if there

759
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:07.840
is murder, they You won't get
a penny. You won't even get a

760
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:09.519
penny, not even a rand,
not even a dollar, not even a

761
00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:14.760
gram. Alas subhanah much Allah grant
us all protection al khatilu diaris. The

762
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:17.360
one who kills will not inherit from
the one day of killed. So that

763
00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:22.880
is one another issue. A person
who is not a Muslim. I've touched

764
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:25.519
on this at the beginning, but
let me just end with it. If

765
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:30.320
a person is not a Muslim,
sometimes people say, oh, the son

766
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:31.679
is not a Muslim, the father's
not a Muslim. They're not going to

767
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:37.599
inherit. That statement is accurate,
but inaccurate, which means they won't inherit

768
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:43.119
from allas shaise. Because when alasays
your sons get so much, he's talking

769
00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:45.440
of the muslim sons, your daughter's, your children, he's talking of the

770
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:49.239
Muslims, your husband, your father, your mother, he's talking of the

771
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:53.000
Muslims. If you have any of
these relatives who are not Muslims. Now,

772
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:58.920
Alas is up to thirty three percent. For as long as your entire

773
00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:04.239
bequest does not exceed thirty three percent, you are allowed to write for them

774
00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:09.000
a will, on condition that it
is witnessed and signed and authenticated how much

775
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:14.119
you would like that non Muslim child
or parent or brother or sister to get,

776
00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:17.800
and the total amount must not exceed
thirty three point three percent. And

777
00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:22.199
the last point I'd like to end
with is it is very important that we

778
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:27.880
draw up our wills, very important, utmost importance. If we die interstate

779
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.360
interstate means without a will, then
I don't know what is the law of

780
00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:36.840
the land here in this country.
But sometimes your wealth might not be distributed

781
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:42.000
properly. Let us go and attend
seminars which teach us the laws of inheritance.

782
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:45.800
And it is important also when you
write something down, even if you're

783
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:49.119
writing it on a piece of paper, get witnesses to witness and sign.

784
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:52.960
Get witnesses to witness and signed.
Don't think I've told my children and that's

785
00:56:53.079 --> 00:56:58.840
enough. No, get witnesses,
independent witnesses to witness and sign what you've

786
00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:01.159
written. Well, loss of howat
Ala Grandez or Jenna, and save us

787
00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:06.119
from helfire. Remember a person who
denies even one of the laws of a

788
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:10.360
law Suhannah Howatala from the Quran may
well be losing their email and may well

789
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:13.960
be cast in hell fire. We
don't want that to happen. May Allah

790
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:17.000
forgive us. If anyone has usurped
anyone's wealth in any way, give it

791
00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:21.480
back today before tomorrow. Phone them
tonight and tell them. Listen, my

792
00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:23.760
dear sister, we cheated you.
We undervalued the property. I owe you

793
00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:28.000
three million brands. Please give me
two years to pay you. The sister

794
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:31.119
Suhanaha might even cry and Subhanaha,
it might be the means of our entry

795
00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:37.360
into Jenna a Sonala who is Seldam
Abarakala mean Mohammad Suhannah lah Bhamdi Sabhana Klamam

796
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:38.840
