Lives of Sahaba 6 - Abu Bakr As-Siddiq 6 - Those who refused paying Zakah - Dr. Yasir Qadhi

View all previous videos in this series here: • Lives of the Sahaba - ...
In this video, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi concludes the discussion of the battles of Ridda, where false prophets emerged and various tribes refused to pay Zakah.
Battles of Ridda continued:
The previous video discussed false prophets Musaylima and Sajjah. The 3rd such false prophet was Tulayha Al Asadi. He fought in the battle of The Trench against the Muslims, but then accepted Islam after that. He never saw the Prophet, therefore, was not a sahaba. Khalid Ibn Walid was sent to vanquish him. At this point he fled but then re-accepted Islam and became known for his participations in the battles of Yarmouk and Qadisiyah. He eventually died as a shaheed (martyr) in the battle of Nahavand against the Persian.
Muslims who refused to pay Zakat: (3rd category of people)
-They argued Surah Tauba mentions the Prophet Muhammad (s) to take zakah, not Abu Bakr (r). This is "Ta'weel" - difference in interpretation.
-Question becomes: Are these people considered to be Muslims for refusing zakah?
-Umar (r) mentioned these people say Shahada so how can they be fought? Abu Bakr (r) refused to differentiate between Salah and Zakah, so Umar stood corrected.
-Controversy here is whether actions are required to be a Muslim, or can one simply proclaim it verbally without following up with actions?
-70 verses mention "eman and amal" showing they go hand-in-hand
-There are 4 types of people with regards to eman and amal: (belief and actions)
a) Believe and act - they are Muslim
b) Don't believe or act - non Muslim
c) Don't believe, but act - Hypocrites
d) Believe but don't act - this is the controversial one.
Orthodox Sunni Islam says this is not permissible and that knowledge must result in action.
Abu Bakr (r)'s incident is the evidence that zakah is needed
What is required from Zakah and Salah to be a Muslim?
Opinion 1: Minimum requirement to be a Muslim is to pray (semi regularly even). One who never prays is not a Muslim. (think about Shaytan refusing one sajda/prostration, so what about Muslim who refuses 30 per day)
Evidences: Surah Qiyamah:31, Muddathir:42, Mursalat:48, Baqarah:143
Opinion 2: Prayer and Zakah are required to be a Muslim. Dozens of verses in Quran are paired together and prove this point.
Opinion 3: Prayer and Zakah are judged (since they are the only things visible) but all 5 rukuns/pillars are required. 48:37
Note, Umar (r) reminded Abu Bakr (r) that these people say the Kalima. Here, Abu Bakr (r) did not refute this, but rather wanted the "haqq" (right) of Islam be done, by them paying the Zakah.
Also, Abu Bakr (r) did not take any prisoners of war (POW) from them.
Another highly controversial side incidence occurred regarding Khalid Ibn Waleed being sent by Abu Bakr (r) to Malik Ibn Nuwayra, the Chieften of Banu Tamim (one such tribe refusing to pay Zakat). Many were chained up as prisoners of war and taken back to Abu Bakr (r). Malik and a few others were executed. As well, Khalid Ibn Waleed married Malik's wife thereafter, who was reported for her beauty. Some explain Khalid did not mean for the execution but the entire matter caused a big controversy.
Keep in mind, that sahaba were not angels and they can sin and make mistakes.
Umar wanted to punish Khalid, but Abu Bakr (r) called this a mistake on the part of Khalid Ibn Waleed. However, Abu Bakr (r) paid blood money to the family of Malik. The point here is that blood money is only paid to Muslims, showing the status of people who refused to pay Zakah.
One group even admitted to Abu Bakr (r) that we were greedy for our money, we didn't intend to commit Kufr.
It appears that Abu Bakr (r) fought them as sinners and rebels, not as non Muslims. This could also suggest that those who hold back Zakah based on greed and not denying its right, are not considered to be disbelievers. Some also said that if you are willing to go to war against the legitimate Islamic Khalifa, this could mean Kufr (disbelief).

[@AhmedFrazKhan]

It is a great honor for us Pakistani's that Allah has brought forth great scholars of the present times from our land! Alhamdullilah!! Maybe the 'religious' turmoil in our land is the magic ingredient?? AllahuAlam! I just wish that such good people would turn some of their attention to us as well... I wish that Sh Yasir Qadhi, Ustaad Nauman and many others would make their presence known here as well...InshaAllah!

[@Swgg-ninja]

Sure bro, he's an American. Im sure his passport says so. And Im also sure his parents are Pakistani. BUT a passport has precedence doesnt it??...

[@Kashif_Mahmood]

@@AhmedFrazKhan Not that it matters but factually speaking, his Grand Parents are from Uttar Pradesh, India and both his parents were also born in India, then moved to Pakistan. Sh. Yasir's wife is also Indian. :)

[@AhmedFrazKhan]

I can now say Alhamdullilah for such great scholars coming out of our beloved neighbor India, MashaAllah, making us Muslims of India and Pakistan proud! Alhamdullilah! MashaAllah, such great scholars in India, Sh Yasir, Dr. Zakir Naik and so many more! Love them, and all our Muslim brothers and sisters in India for the sake of Allah! (Love all Scholars and Muslims all over the world for the sake of Allah actually!!)

[@aliwazir7165]

Ahmed Fraz Khan SubhanAllah it doesn’t matter where they come from... they are from the ummah of Muhammad SAW. I am honored that he is a scholar bringing knowledge to anyone and everyone. If he was of any other nationality, it wouldn’t matter. May Allāh SWT make us of those who value the bonds of brotherhood in the ummah over nationality.

[@mnizam84]

[@doityourownway]

A very difficult subject to understand; but the Sheikh Alhamdulillah , his patience retelling this dark historical event, allows me to see beyond the murky surface.

[@mohamedjinan4936]

May Allah guide the miss guided.

[@mohammadsiddique2161]

The reference of Surah Room Ayah 2, should be read as Surah Ankaboot Ayah 2

[@mohamedhafizbah3672]

maashaa Allah jazakumU Allah khaira wa baaraka fiikum,

[@sahraluujiyano6]

Mansha Allah jizaka Allah khair Allahu manajaynaa with out Salat it's a Medicine for the Slam Abu Bakr As- Saddiq knows better

[@abdullahsweesi11]

21:50 sorry but that's Surah al Ankaboot سورة العنكبوت

[@eesamahmood9695]

Assalamu alaykum ya shaykh. May Allah bless you for these beneficial videos insha'allah. I just wanted to let you know that you misquoted Surat ul Baqarah at 39:05

[@Mrabs1981]

Eesa Mahmood I thought that too (may Allah forgive us), it was clearly unintentional. Nevertheless he’s talks are brilliant. I didn’t know as much as I know now about Abu Bakr Siddique RA until I watched this series.

[@teemacmahoney2215]

Salam alaykum.. It is suratul Ankabut and not Suratul Rum. Mistake in both Surah and verse (21:50)

[@stevengrantofthegiftshop1549]

It used to be so loud when the Sheikh drinks. Good thing its fixed now!

[@zionisthindurepublican7989]

Wow my brother ... Of all these hundreds & hundreds of hours ... Only thing fixating was those few seconds of drinking a gulp of water

[@ishtiaqahmed5678]

39.06 it should be asslata wa mimma razaknahum unfiqun.

[@redkakkarot]

32:40 guys can anybody explain what he meant by 30 sajda per day? I mean the fardu salat is 5 times and total of 17 sajda / sujud right? How come there’s 30? Can anybody tell me.

[@khattyandrus]

Kakkarot Red 2 sujud for each rakaah. 34 sujud in total.

[@redkakkarot]

Khadijah Iderus Ouh yes correct, he said 2 sajda per raka’ah. I only counted the last sujud before the next raka’ah. Thank you for clearing up. Jazakallah khair 🥰

[@asads30]

Assalamualaikum dear Shaykh, in sura tul Fussilat Allah pak says: "Allajina la utunajjakata wa hum bil akhiratihum kafirun" does it not mean that who doesn't pay jakah is kafir

[@umarsiddiqui7344]

/ it's one of the pillar among 5 so how can a building can be strong n stable witout a pillar

[@umarsiddiqui7344]

with all due respect the speaker is one way or the other influenced by ibn e temiya

[@medusaachla]

[@pijl123]

Sjeik just say the are shia and there is kufr in them

[@joelrisk3287]

[@arafjan7488]

Muslim Convert Shia believe in a different theology but Islam the ideology is the same-the tyre wraps!
