1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:10,840
All praise is for Allah ﷻ, our Most
Generous Lord, who taught by the pen.

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,180
He taught man what he did not know.

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,420
I testify that there is no god but
Allah ﷻ alone. He has no partner.

4
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:29,060
A testimony: whoever says it
sincerely from the heart is honored.

5
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:37,580
I testify that our master Muhammad ﷺ is
His slave and Messenger, best of prophets.

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:46,316
His nation is the best of nations.
May Allah bless him and his family.

7
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,400
May Allah be pleased with his Companions.

8
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:53,100
Whoever follows them well will be safe
and prosper.

9
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,640
Now then, O servants of Allah ﷻ.

10
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,040
Fear Allah ﷻ as He should be feared.

11
00:01:00,820 --> 00:01:05,420
Prepare for the Hereafter;
the best provision is taqwa.

12
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:12,440
Know death's nearer than your
sandal strap;

13
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,320
prepare, and ask Allah ﷻ pardon
and health.

14
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,760
Do not be deceived by this worldly life,
nor let Satan deceive you about Allah ﷻ.

15
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,440
O servants of Allah ﷻ.

16
00:01:29,524 --> 00:01:33,160
Indeed, Allah ﷻ created mankind
to worship Him alone.

17
00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:40,880
As Allah ﷻ says, "I created jinn
and humans only to worship Me."

18
00:01:41,860 --> 00:01:43,660
And He nurtured them with blessings.

19
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:49,220
The favors of Allah ﷻ for people
are ever new and renewed.

20
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:54,180
No limit can contain them,
and no count can exhaust them.

21
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:58,680
If you counted the blessings Allah ﷻ gives,
you could never number them.

22
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,660
O servants of Allah ﷻ.

23
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:08,880
Every blessing we enjoy
comes only from our Lord Most High.

24
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,240
Whatever blessing you have
is from Allah ﷻ.

25
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:19,020
One of the greatest blessings
of Allah ﷻ to us.

26
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:24,660
He brought us out of our mothers' wombs,
knowing nothing.

27
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:28,180
But He did not leave us ignorant.

28
00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:33,800
Rather, He taught us and made easy
for us the means of beneficial knowledge.

29
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:44,240
So He sent us Muhammad ibn Abdullah ﷺ,
His noblest creation and finest messenger.

30
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:52,820
He taught us the Book and wisdom,
purified us, and led us to His right path.

31
00:02:53,580 --> 00:03:01,880
He made clear that true honor and fear
lie only in knowledge joined with faith.

32
00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:08,140
Allah SWT raises those of you who believe,
and those given knowledge, in rank.

33
00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:12,680
Only those of His servants
who have knowledge fear Allah SWT.

34
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:25,200
The best, highest, purest, and sweetest
knowledge is from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ﷺ.

35
00:03:25,284 --> 00:03:30,460
Useful worldly knowledge
is also praised in the Sharia.

36
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,520
It is built on experiments, research,
and studies.

37
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:46,280
A skilled doctor and a proficient engineer
both have knowledge praised in the Sharia.

38
00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:54,100
Anyone in a profession working with
knowledge is commendable in Islamic law.

39
00:03:55,020 --> 00:03:59,300
And among the blessings of Allah ﷻ to us
is beneficial knowledge.

40
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:15,620
Among them are the mobile phones of today
and other pocket communication devices.

41
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:25,660
They bring faraway things near
and do people much good if used well.

42
00:04:25,744 --> 00:04:36,880
Be thankful for this blessing by using it
in obeying Allah ﷻ and only as He permits.

43
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,580
Avoid using it
for what Allah ﷻ has forbidden.

44
00:04:42,664 --> 00:04:50,200
O servant of Allah ﷻ, holding your phone,
look through it carefully.

45
00:04:50,284 --> 00:04:55,360
Measure what you look at on it
against yourself.

46
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Is it vile or wholesome?
Measure it against yourself.

47
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Do you think that on Judgment Day,
its use will go with your good deeds?

48
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,420
Will it instead be placed
on the scale of bad deeds?

49
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,020
You are your own witness
against yourself.

50
00:05:20,104 --> 00:05:22,160
Servants of Allah ﷻ.
Servants of Allah ﷻ.

51
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:40,100
For these blessings, we must thank Allah ﷻ
and use them as He approves or permits.

52
00:05:40,780 --> 00:05:47,080
Fear Allah ﷻ, O servants of Allah ﷻ.
Thank Him for His blessings and prosper.

53
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,480
I say what you hear.

54
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:57,660
So seek His forgiveness.
He is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

55
00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:53,180
I seek forgiveness from Almighty Allah ﷻ
for me and you from every sin.

56
00:06:05,156 --> 00:06:10,676
Praise be to Allah ﷻ alone,
and prayers and peace on the last Prophet.

57
00:06:11,376 --> 00:06:14,816
Now then, O servants of Allah ﷻ.

58
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:24,816
Among the great blessings of our time
is what is called artificial intelligence.

59
00:06:25,576 --> 00:06:34,896
It is developing at a stunning speed
and offers much good to humanity.

60
00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:36,756
If you use it properly.

61
00:06:37,456 --> 00:06:45,716
In this regard, I warn against
three matters related to AI.

62
00:06:46,316 --> 00:06:50,096
First is using it to seek fatwas.

63
00:06:50,876 --> 00:07:02,672
Some people now use AI
to learn rulings on cases they face.

64
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:05,036
I even read one of them say this.

65
00:07:05,576 --> 00:07:09,496
"We no longer need scholars."

66
00:07:10,256 --> 00:07:16,496
"One click tells us
the ruling on an issue."

67
00:07:16,596 --> 00:07:19,336
This is not permissible,
servants of Allah ﷻ.

68
00:07:19,420 --> 00:07:22,216
It is also a cause
of misguidance.

69
00:07:22,462 --> 00:07:33,318
AI is an indiscriminate collector,
gathering answers from websites.

70
00:07:33,402 --> 00:07:39,696
It may cite an unreliable site,
or falsely quote a scholar.

71
00:07:40,476 --> 00:07:46,896
A fatwa, servants of Allah ﷻ,
concerns specific cases.

72
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:55,536
Those cases have contexts
that may change the ruling.

73
00:07:56,216 --> 00:07:57,916
So fear Allah ﷻ,
servants of Allah ﷻ.

74
00:07:59,782 --> 00:08:07,576
Do not use this AI to learn rulings
on the cases that befall you.

75
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:17,116
As for the second matter,
I warn students not to rely on AI alone.

76
00:08:17,676 --> 00:08:22,676
This concerns the material
they gather to present to people.

77
00:08:23,316 --> 00:08:27,856
AI gathers blindly.

78
00:08:28,536 --> 00:08:32,536
Like a gatherer in the night,
it collects good and evil, right and wrong.

79
00:08:33,116 --> 00:08:42,956
Whoever seeks knowledge and uses it
must verify, review, check, investigate.

80
00:08:43,656 --> 00:09:00,956
Third, servants of Allah ﷻ: using AI
to harm believers with lies and deepfakes.

81
00:09:02,196 --> 00:09:06,136
This matter involves several crimes.

82
00:09:06,256 --> 00:09:19,956
First crime: it is a widespread lie,
major sin causing grave and Fire torment.

83
00:09:20,456 --> 00:09:22,516
We seek Allah ﷻ's refuge from His torment

84
00:09:23,276 --> 00:09:28,976
The second crime is that it harms
believers, men and women.

85
00:09:29,496 --> 00:09:36,956
It harms the slandered person,
his family, his neighbors, and loved ones.

86
00:09:37,476 --> 00:09:46,716
Those who harm believing men and women
undeservedly bear slander and clear sin.

87
00:09:47,236 --> 00:09:59,676
Third crime, servants of Allah ﷻ:
lying about a believer's words and deeds.

88
00:10:00,236 --> 00:10:09,252
The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever lies
about a believer will be punished.

89
00:10:09,336 --> 00:10:15,456
Allah will cast him into
Radghat al-Khabal until he retracts it.

90
00:10:15,916 --> 00:10:17,056
Radghat al-Khabal

91
00:10:17,196 --> 00:10:22,276
O servants of Allah,
it is a vile place in Hell.

92
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:30,916
where the pus, blood, and sweat of the
people of the Fire gather.

93
00:10:31,256 --> 00:10:34,416
We seek refuge in Allah ﷻ from such
a plight.

94
00:10:34,856 --> 00:10:37,896
Fourth crime: lying
about Allah and His religion.

95
00:10:43,716 --> 00:10:45,976
They falsely attribute statements.

96
00:10:40,345 --> 00:10:44,216
To a trusted scholar or shaykh,
they say religion requires this or that.

97
00:10:54,796 --> 00:10:57,016
Even though he never said it.

98
00:10:57,456 --> 00:11:03,356
Rather, they lie about Allah
and His religion.

99
00:11:03,796 --> 00:11:06,076
It is among the gravest sins.

100
00:11:06,256 --> 00:11:08,636
Allah has forbidden it.

101
00:11:09,196 --> 00:11:11,195
Fifth crime.

102
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:12,776
O servants of Allah.

103
00:11:12,860 --> 00:11:19,596
This vile, atrocious act deceives
believing men and women.

104
00:11:23,236 --> 00:11:29,656
Whoever trusts this scholar
or this shaykh may be deceived.

105
00:11:29,996 --> 00:11:32,156
He may hear the clip and think
the shaykh really said it.

106
00:11:32,536 --> 00:11:35,256
He may think this is part
of Allah's religion.

107
00:11:35,616 --> 00:11:39,476
This is the gravest deceit
against Muslims.

108
00:11:39,876 --> 00:11:41,376
So fear Allah ﷻ

109
00:11:41,460 --> 00:11:42,496
Servants of Allah.

110
00:11:42,876 --> 00:11:48,336
Use Allah's blessings only
for what pleases Him.

111
00:11:48,756 --> 00:11:55,616
Use them to draw near to Him
or for what He permits, to prosper.

112
00:11:55,996 --> 00:11:59,156
O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad
and the family of Muhammad.

113
00:11:59,496 --> 00:12:03,376
As You sent prayers upon Ibrahim
and the family of Ibrahim.

114
00:12:03,796 --> 00:12:06,076
Indeed, You are Praiseworthy,
Glorious.

115
00:12:06,516 --> 00:12:09,016
O Allah, be pleased
with all the Companions.

116
00:12:09,356 --> 00:12:14,816
Be pleased with all the Companions.
Be pleased with all the Companions.

117
00:12:15,156 --> 00:12:21,576
O Allah, grant us love for them.
Grant us love for them.

118
00:12:21,956 --> 00:12:26,892
O Allah ﷻ, our Lord,
we ask You to be pleased with us all.

119
00:12:26,976 --> 00:12:31,156
O Allah, be pleased with us all.
O Allah, be pleased with us all.

120
00:12:31,536 --> 00:12:35,136
O Allah, our Lord.
O Allah, our Lord.

121
00:12:35,676 --> 00:12:39,936
Our people in Gaza
are suffering terribly.

122
00:12:40,336 --> 00:12:43,256
O Allah ﷻ, feed the hungry.

123
00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:46,136
O Allah ﷻ, clothe the unclothed.

124
00:12:46,536 --> 00:12:49,436
O Allah ﷻ, make the fearful safe.

125
00:12:49,836 --> 00:12:53,116
O Allah ﷻ, heal the injured and the sick.

126
00:12:53,576 --> 00:12:57,156
O Allah ﷻ, our Lord, grant them victory.

127
00:12:57,556 --> 00:13:02,236
O Allah ﷻ, grant them victory.
O Allah ﷻ, grant them victory.

128
00:13:02,636 --> 00:13:08,296
O Allah ﷻ, destroy those who oppress them.
O Allah ﷻ, destroy those who oppress them.

129
00:13:08,380 --> 00:13:12,956
O Allah ﷻ, destroy those who oppress them.
Lord of the worlds.

130
00:13:13,356 --> 00:13:19,276
O Allah ﷻ, our Lord, we have men
standing guard on our borders.

131
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:24,596
O Allah ﷻ, keep them safe.
O Allah ﷻ, grant them happiness.

132
00:13:24,996 --> 00:13:29,356
O Allah ﷻ, guide them.
O Allah ﷻ, make their aim true.

133
00:13:29,756 --> 00:13:31,276
O Allah ﷻ.

134
00:13:31,916 --> 00:13:36,776
O Allah ﷻ, our Lord, grant them success.
O Allah ﷻ, protect them.

135
00:13:37,116 --> 00:13:41,576
O Allah ﷻ, return them
safe and victorious, Lord of the worlds.

136
00:13:41,996 --> 00:13:48,076
O Allah ﷻ, accept whoever among them dies
as a martyr, Lord of the worlds.

137
00:13:48,536 --> 00:13:55,156
O Allah ﷻ, bless our rulers; guide them.
Set them right; draw them toward good.

138
00:13:55,456 --> 00:14:00,416
Draw righteous people close to them.
Support them, not those against them.

139
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:03,296
Preserve them for us,
Lord of the worlds.

140
00:14:03,716 --> 00:14:09,250
O Allah ﷻ, our Lord,
these are Medina residents and visitors.

141
00:14:12,616 --> 00:14:15,176
These men and women have gathered
at Quba Mosque.

142
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:21,886
They perform a great duty of Yours.
Seeking Your mercy. Fearing punishment.

143
00:14:22,196 --> 00:14:25,156
O Allah ﷻ, send down Your mercy on them.

144
00:14:25,506 --> 00:14:31,036
O Allah, send down Your mercy on them.

145
00:14:31,336 --> 00:14:38,096
Send down calm upon them.
Guard them from what they fear.

146
00:14:38,476 --> 00:14:42,676
O Allah ﷻ, each of them—each of them—has
a request.

147
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,772
O Allah ﷻ, grant him his request
and give him what he loves.

148
00:14:47,856 --> 00:14:51,776
Increase him from Your bounty
beyond what he loves, Lord of the worlds.

149
00:14:52,116 --> 00:15:00,716
O Allah ﷻ, forgive them, their parents,
their families, offspring, and neighbors.

150
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,896
And their loved ones, and those for whom
they interceded, O Lord of the worlds.

151
00:15:06,256 --> 00:15:13,556
O Allah ﷻ, as You gathered them for this
prayer in this city, in this mosque.

152
00:15:13,916 --> 00:15:20,036
O Allah ﷻ, gather them and those they love
all together in the Highest Paradise.

153
00:15:21,096 --> 00:15:27,916
O Allah, deprive none of them.
O Allah, deprive none of them.

154
00:15:28,316 --> 00:15:34,036
Our Lord, grant us good in this world and
the Hereafter, and save us from the Fire.

155
00:15:34,376 --> 00:15:36,536
And Allah ﷻ is Most High and All-Knowing.

156
00:15:36,956 --> 00:15:40,676
May Allah ﷻ send prayers and peace
upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
