Overview

This video discusses words and phrases that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) disliked or prohibited, based on the teachings of Ibn Qayyim. It aims to educate viewers on proper speech and avoidance of certain terms that may carry negative connotations or lead to disbelief.

Key takeaways

• "Khubutha Nafsi" vs. "Laqisa Nafsi": It is disliked to say "my soul is evil" (خبثت نفسي) and instead one should say "my soul is nauseated" (لقست نفسي), even though the words are similar in meaning. This is because "khubth" is associated with evil and devils.
• Calling Grape Vines "Karam": The Prophet disliked calling grape vines "Karam" and preferred the term "Enab" (grape).
• Saying "The People are Destroyed": It is disliked to say "the people are destroyed" (هلك الناس) as this implies the speaker is the one who caused their destruction.
• Attributing Will to Others Alongside God: It is prohibited to say "what Allah wills and you will" (ما شاء الله وشئت) or similar phrases that equate a person's will with Allah's. Instead, one should say "what Allah alone wills" (ما شاء الله وحده).
• Swearing by Other Than Allah: Swearing by anything other than Allah is considered shirk (polytheism).
• Calling a Muslim "Kafir": It is forbidden to call a Muslim "kafir" (disbeliever).
• Saying "King of Kings": It is disliked to call a ruler "King of Kings" or "Deputy of Allah."
• Saying "My Slave" or "My Maid": A master should not call his male or female servant "my slave" or "my maid," and servants should not call their master "my lord." Instead, they should use terms like "my young man/woman" and "my master/mistress."
• Cursing the Wind or Fever: Cursing the wind or fever is discouraged. Instead, one should ask for its good and seek refuge from its evil. Fever is seen as expiating sins.
• Saying "Rainbow": The term "rainbow" (قوس قزح) is disliked.
• Exaggerated Blessings and Long Life: Phrases like "May Allah prolong your life" or "May you live for a thousand years" are disliked.
• Saying "I fasted all of Ramadan" or "I prayed all night": These statements are disliked, implying a lack of humility.
• Calling Taxes "Rights": It is disliked to refer to taxes (makuus) as "rights."
• Calling Expenses in Obedience to Allah "Losses": It is disliked to consider money spent in obedience to Allah as a loss or expenditure.
• The Mufti Saying "Allah Permitted/Forbidden": In matters of ijtihad (independent reasoning), a mufti should not say "Allah permitted this" or "Allah forbade this" unless there is a clear textual prohibition.
• Calling Quranic/Sunnah Terms "Metaphors": Referring to the Quranic and Sunnah terms as mere "verbal metaphors" or "figurative language" is disliked as it diminishes their significance.
• Discussing Marital Relations Explicitly: It is disliked to explicitly discuss conjugal relations.
• Improper Use of "I" and "My": One should be cautious of arrogance, avoiding phrases like "I am better than..." or attributing achievements solely to oneself. Humility, acknowledging one's sins and shortcomings, is preferred.

The transcript mentions that it is disliked to say that taxes are "haqquq" (حقوق), which translates to "rights." The implication is that taxes are not a right to be demanded, but rather an obligation or a due, and framing them as "rights" might carry an improper connotation in the context of Islamic teachings on governance and finance. The speaker doesn't elaborate further on this specific point in the transcript.
