WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.769 The story of the Queen of Sheba 00:00:05.769 --> 00:00:11.699 Give me a fatwa about my matter 00:00:11.699 --> 00:00:15.779 After the Queen of Sheba read the book to her people 00:00:15.779 --> 00:00:17.339 She told them 00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:24.829 O eminent persons, give me a fatwa regarding my matter. I will not decide on a matter until you bear witness 00:00:24.829 --> 00:00:26.629 Brief words 00:00:26.629 --> 00:00:30.510 It indicated the level of mind and intelligence of the Queen of Sheba 00:00:30.670 --> 00:00:36.130 In addition to what we mentioned in the previous episode 00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:39.689 These words contained several things 00:00:39.689 --> 00:00:42.810 Including consulting people 00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:45.729 I expressed it by requesting a fatwa 00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:49.969 And the way it issues decisions in its kingdom 00:00:49.969 --> 00:00:52.250 And win the hearts of its people 00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:55.189 And the humility of the Queen of Sheba 00:00:55.189 --> 00:00:57.750 Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said 00:00:57.750 --> 00:00:59.869 It is her resolve and mind 00:00:59.869 --> 00:01:04.790 She gathered the leaders of her state and the men of her kingdom and said 00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:08.390 O eminent people, give me a fatwa about my matter 00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:11.989 That is, tell me what we should answer him with 00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:15.230 Do we come under His obedience and be led? 00:01:15.230 --> 00:01:17.500 Or what do we do? 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:21.420 I would not decide anything until you bear witness 00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:27.989 That is, I was not tyrannical about a matter without your opinion and advice 00:01:27.989 --> 00:01:30.230 The Queen of Sheba has followed suit 00:01:30.269 --> 00:01:33.750 And the behavior of wise people among kings and presidents 00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:36.670 Those who do not express their opinion 00:01:36.670 --> 00:01:39.629 They do not neglect the rational people of their people 00:01:39.629 --> 00:01:44.239 They consult them on public and private matters 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.109 Al-Qushayri, may God have mercy on him, said 00:01:47.109 --> 00:01:52.189 I took consultation as required in major matters 00:01:52.189 --> 00:01:56.390 The king should not be tyrannical in his opinion 00:01:56.390 --> 00:02:02.450 He must have a group of people of opinion and insight 00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:07.370 The path of consultation was ordered by the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:02:07.370 --> 00:02:09.490 In the Holy Quran 00:02:09.490 --> 00:02:13.360 And God Almighty said to His Prophet 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.560 Because of the mercy of God, He softened for them 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.680 Even if you were stubborn and hard-hearted 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.680 They won't break up around you 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:33.120 So pardon them, ask forgiveness for them, and consult them about the matter 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.159 If you are determined, trust in God 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:44.949 God loves those who trust 00:02:44.949 --> 00:02:49.069 So he applied that, peace and blessings be upon him, in his life 00:02:49.069 --> 00:02:53.909 He consulted his companions regarding the Battle of Badr, Uhud, and Khandaq 00:02:53.909 --> 00:02:56.830 He consulted them regarding the Al-Ifk incident 00:02:56.830 --> 00:03:03.310 In which his honor was challenged and his wife Aisha, the Mother of the Believers 00:03:03.310 --> 00:03:08.819 He consulted them on many issues that came before him in his life 00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:13.580 How is it appropriate for someone who claims to love him and follow his way? 00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:19.030 To leave this great path in arriving at a sound opinion 00:03:19.030 --> 00:03:25.750 Consulting wise people has a great impact on their hearts and the hearts of the general public 00:03:25.789 --> 00:03:29.990 He is known for consulting in the interests of the general public 00:03:29.990 --> 00:03:36.360 He is loved and obeyed, and people rally around him and support Malika 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.229 Al-Zamughshari, may God have mercy on him, said 00:03:39.229 --> 00:03:41.830 What is meant by the fatwa is here 00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:47.710 Pointing out to her what they have regarding the opinion and management that happened to her 00:03:47.710 --> 00:03:51.789 I meant to go back to them and consult them 00:03:51.789 --> 00:03:54.069 And poll their opinions 00:03:54.069 --> 00:04:01.210 Seeking their sympathy and sweetening their souls to fill them and rise with them 00:04:01.210 --> 00:04:06.930 Only the humble person should seek advice in all his matters 00:04:06.930 --> 00:04:10.530 As for the arrogant person, he does not consult anyone 00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:13.169 Because he glorifies himself and his opinion 00:04:13.169 --> 00:04:16.529 He despises others and belittles his opinion 00:04:16.529 --> 00:04:21.129 Therefore, hearts turn away from him and people turn away from him 00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:27.019 He violates the Prophet’s guidance and loses in this world and the hereafter 00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:31.899 Even if kings and presidents took the path of consulting rational people 00:04:31.899 --> 00:04:34.259 Hearts would have gathered together over them 00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:38.100 The peoples stood with them in great tribulations 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:42.459 But the real problem is between the leaders and the people 00:04:42.459 --> 00:04:44.620 It is tyranny by opinion 00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:48.579 And to follow the path of Pharaoh when he said 00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:55.310 I only show you what I see, and I only guide you to a right path 00:04:55.310 --> 00:04:58.139 Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said 00:04:58.139 --> 00:05:05.259 Pharaoh said to his people in response to what this righteous, righteous, and rational man indicated 00:05:05.259 --> 00:05:08.740 Who was more deserving of the kingship than Pharaoh 00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:11.699 I only show you what I see 00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:17.339 That is, what I tell you and indicate to you is only what I see for myself 00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:19.220 Pharaoh lied 00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:25.800 It was confirmed that Moses, peace be upon him, was truthful in the message he had brought 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:33.600 He said, “I know that none sent down these things except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as All-Seeing.” 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.800 And God Almighty said 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:41.740 They denied it and their souls were certain of it, unjustly and arrogantly 00:05:41.740 --> 00:05:45.060 He said: I only show you what I see 00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:47.259 He lied and slandered him 00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:52.860 He betrayed God, Blessed and Most High, His Messenger, peace be upon him, and his flock 00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.620 He deceived them and did not advise them 00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:57.220 And so is his saying 00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:01.019 I only guide you to a right path 00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:06.379 That is, I only call you to the path of truth, honesty, and guidance 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:08.660 He also lied about that 00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:12.750 Even if his people obeyed him and followed him 00:06:12.750 --> 00:06:15.589 God Almighty said 00:06:15.629 --> 00:06:17.910 So they followed Pharaoh's command 00:06:17.910 --> 00:06:21.029 And Pharaoh did not command Rasheed 00:06:21.029 --> 00:06:23.269 He said: His greatness is great 00:06:23.269 --> 00:06:27.110 Pharaoh led his people astray, but they were not guided 00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:28.670 And in the hadith 00:06:28.670 --> 00:06:33.629 No imam dies on the day he dies deceiving his flock 00:06:33.629 --> 00:06:36.589 Except he did not smell the scent of heaven 00:06:36.589 --> 00:06:41.589 Its scent can be detected from a distance of 500 years 00:06:41.629 --> 00:06:47.100 And God Almighty grants success to what is right 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:49.100 This is tyranny of opinion 00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:56.019 It does not reach a sound opinion in the face of the events that the kingdoms and states are exposed to 00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:59.899 Rather, it is a sign of the fall of states 00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:05.139 Because tyranny is caused by arrogance and people’s contempt and contempt 00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:09.019 And the foolishness of their opinions and tyranny on earth 00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:12.519 This is destined to disappear 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:18.240 Consultation is only requested from wise people and people specialized in each art 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.920 It is not required of the general public 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.360 Among them are the learned, the ignorant, the rational, and the foolish 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.120 So he asked for advice 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:34.199 He must differentiate between a specialist and a non-specialist in the matter for which he seeks advice 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.589 Especially in issues that affect people's lives in general 00:07:39.629 --> 00:07:44.149 This is contrary to what they call democratic thought 00:07:44.149 --> 00:07:50.589 Democracy does not differentiate between the rational and the foolish, the knowledgeable and the ignorant 00:07:50.589 --> 00:07:55.269 Some ignorant and foolish people enter parliamentary councils 00:07:55.269 --> 00:07:59.949 Those who speak on issues that affect the fate of peoples 00:07:59.949 --> 00:08:05.430 They did not turn to God, nor did they do good to their people 00:08:05.430 --> 00:08:11.230 Seeking advice is not limited to the nation's major issues only 00:08:11.230 --> 00:08:15.750 Rather, counseling is involved in many life issues 00:08:15.750 --> 00:08:20.019 Because the opinion of two is better than the opinion of one 00:08:20.019 --> 00:08:26.620 Therefore, God Almighty directed the spouses to consult on family issues 00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:29.860 And God Almighty said 00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:36.299 Mothers breastfeed their children for two full years 00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:42.259 For those who want to breastfeed 00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:51.019 It is the duty of those to whom it is intended to provide and clothe them in a reasonable manner 00:08:51.019 --> 00:08:55.740 No soul is burdened with more than it can bear 00:08:55.740 --> 00:09:06.049 A mother shall not be harmed by her child, nor shall a newborn be harmed by his child 00:09:06.049 --> 00:09:10.159 And on the Warf like that 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:21.740 If he wants a separation based on mutual consent and consultation, then there is no blame on them 00:09:21.779 --> 00:09:30.539 If you want to breastfeed your children, there is no blame on you 00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:38.340 If you deliver what you were given with kindness 00:09:38.340 --> 00:09:48.100 And fear God and know that God is responsible for what you do in China 00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:52.539 This is the breastfeeding system that God stipulated in His book 00:09:52.539 --> 00:09:54.779 And explain its details 00:09:54.779 --> 00:10:01.019 A woman cannot wean her infant except after consulting with her husband 00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:06.139 If the consultation was guided by God in weaning the boy 00:10:06.139 --> 00:10:12.779 In major issues in the family, it is preferable for both spouses to consult about them 00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:18.899 It is not appropriate in the family for the man to express his opinion without consulting the wife 00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:28.820 It is also not appropriate for the wife to express her opinion on family matters and raising children without consulting the husband 00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:34.779 The family may consult another party from outside the family to improve its situation 00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:38.899 It protects its entity from disintegration or breakage 00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:45.850 All of this is good if the intentions are good and the advisor is chosen well 00:10:45.889 --> 00:10:49.450 Queen Saba demonstrated another principle 00:10:49.450 --> 00:10:57.129 It is that its decisions in its kingdom are not issued by anyone other than the wise and senior people who know them 00:10:57.129 --> 00:11:02.929 She said: I would not stop doing anything until you bear witness 00:11:02.929 --> 00:11:08.210 This is an important principle in the life of countries, societies and families 00:11:08.210 --> 00:11:12.370 Decisions should be issued with people’s knowledge and consultation 00:11:12.370 --> 00:11:19.669 People should not be surprised by a decision that affects their lives without their knowledge and does not benefit them 00:11:19.669 --> 00:11:22.350 Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said 00:11:22.350 --> 00:11:28.389 She gathered her people and made her speech with their nobles and those with opinions about them 00:11:28.389 --> 00:11:35.620 Those who turn back and isolate, and she said to them: Give me a fatwa about my matter 00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:37.779 She added it to her 00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:43.259 As she is responsible for them and addresses the affairs of the people on their behalf 00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:50.379 She told them that she would not decide on a matter and decide on it with her own opinion alone without them 00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:54.940 I would not decide anything until you bear witness 00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:59.740 So that you can witness and see the matter and be together 00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:02.340 And the word “Nun” is the word for prevention 00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:04.980 Oh, did you not speak deleted? 00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:07.659 That is, until you witness me 00:12:07.700 --> 00:12:10.059 That is, until you come with me 00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:16.789 I will exchange the matter with you so that we may know what will be best for you 00:12:16.789 --> 00:12:20.230 This is the way of the Queen of Sheba 00:12:20.230 --> 00:12:24.309 No wonder her people ruled over her 00:12:24.309 --> 00:12:27.710 Whose way of ruling was this? 00:12:27.710 --> 00:12:33.919 He loves, obeys, follows and protects his king 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.059 But what do her people think after this show? 00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:42.860 We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing 00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:47.470 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:12:47.470 --> 00:12:53.870 The story of the Queen of Sheba with the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
