1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:05,496
How should wrongdoing from
institutions be denounced?

2
00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:08,636
Or errors by government institutions?

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,080
This was clarified by the Messenger ﷺ.

4
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:15,746
He ﷺ said.

5
00:00:15,830 --> 00:00:19,660
"Whoever among you sees an evil,
let him change it with his hand."

6
00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:23,100
"If he cannot, then with his tongue."

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,960
"If he cannot, then with his heart,
and that is the weakest of faith."

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,360
The Messenger ﷺ explained how we are to
denounce wrongdoing by these great steps.

9
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:43,680
Anyone who can change it by hand,
like the ruler or his deputy.

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,880
should remove the evil by hand
and discipline the sinner.

11
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:55,920
This is the ruler's right, or that of
inspectors appointed by the authorities.

12
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:04,739
If you have no authority and see
a wrong contrary to the truth.

13
00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:09,810
It is not a delusion or assumption
that it is wrong when it is not.

14
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,736
If you are certain it is evil,
and have no power or authority.

15
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:20,940
Denounce it with your tongue if
Allah has given you knowledge and clarity.

16
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:27,400
With your tongue, offering sincere
advice to sinners and wrongdoers.

17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,000
"With wisdom and good instruction,
and argue in the best manner."

18
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:41,060
Report them to the authorities,
or to the hisbah officers.

19
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,580
If there are hisbah officers,
report them. This is denouncing by speech.

20
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,020
If you have neither knowledge
nor the ability to speak.

21
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,080
Then you denounce evil in your heart.
You never approve of evil.

22
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,936
Evil must be denounced,
but in levels according to ability.

23
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:07,000
So if you have no authority.

24
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:13,160
And no knowledge or clarity,
then denounce evil in your heart.

25
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:21,040
Every believer, commoner and scholar,
all can denounce it in the heart.

26
00:02:21,260 --> 00:02:25,300
No one is incapable of this.
You denounce evil in your heart.

27
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,140
Then keep away from evil
and those who practice it.

28
00:02:30,620 --> 00:02:35,000
"And when you see those discussing
Our verses, turn away from them."

29
00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:38,260
"until they enter into another
conversation."

30
00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:44,620
"And if Satan makes you forget,
do not remain after the reminder."

31
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:49,256
with the wrongdoers.

32
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:51,450
So keep away from gatherings of evil.

33
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:57,260
You say, "I condemn it in my heart.
What harm? I warned them; they refused."

34
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,160
"Should I sit with them? I did
"my part." No, you may not sit with them.

35
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,096
As long as they did not comply,
did not accept, and persisted in evil.

36
00:03:08,180 --> 00:03:14,020
So leave them for another gathering
until they enter into another talk.

37
00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:14,980
Yes.
