 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بابا دلا وياله من شراف عظيم أصول الله تبارك وتعالى يتوزس إدن القرآن ولقد آتينا موسى الكتاب وقفينا من بعده بالرسل وآتينا عيسة بدبريما البيلات وإيدناه بروح القدس فكلما جاءهم رسول بما لا تهوى أنفسه مستكبرتم ففريقا كدبتم وفريقا تقتلون الله تخبرنا هنا أنه عندما يأتي لهم لهم فرق أنهم لم يتقلقون لهم بما لا تهوى أنفسهم بما لا تهوى تهوى ماذا لهم لم يتقلقون للفرق استكبرتم وفرقتم الله سبحانه وتعالى ففريقا كدبتم وفرقا كدبتم وفريقا تقتلون ومجرد مجردكم أنظروا how the desires make them extreme by killing just by following their desires it made them kill a prophet of Allah so extremism can bring about killing sorry desires can bring about killing and that is also something if a person kills himself from he will not what so atheists say that religion is the source for what they say it's the source for extremism the truth of the matter is desires is no it's not religion بنص القرآن because the ones who were killing prophets had beliefs and had religions and they believed in a religion or believed in something they were not atheists بعد ذلك they were killing their killing their prophets the reason why they were killing their prophets because of their religion they were killing their prophets they were based on killing them because of the desires the next thing that's a cure is الرجوع إلى العلمة coming back to the scholars returning matters back to the scholars خاصة تنفي النوازل especially when the matters are in نوازل when they are contemporary safety security related matters and et cetera as you know الله did not make the people the same الله did not make the people equal الله made people of different levels and different stations and different ranks الله says in an ayah in the Quran قل هل يستوي الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون إنما يتذكر أولو الألباب are they equal the ones who know and the ones who don't know are they equal this is called استفام بمعن الانكار بمعن النفي sorry it is استفام بمعن النفي what does it mean the ayah it's in a interrogative form it's in a questioning form sorry it's in a questioning wording but the intent behind it is negation it's like Allah is saying لا يستوي الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون they are not equal the ones who know and the ones who don't know they are not equal so even though it's an استفام it's an استفام which is in carry Allah is negating سبحانه وتعالى that the one who knows and the one who doesn't know to be the same so we see that the people are not the same also Allah says in the Quran يرفع الله الذين آمنوا منكم والذين أوتوا العلمة درجات الله lifts the station and the rank of those who know from those who don't is Allah lifts the station and the rank of the believers over the non-believers and within the believers الله تعالى He lifts the station of those who know and those of the people of knowledge so the believers are greater than these believers but within the believers the greatest of them is the ones who have knowledge ونذلك الله سبحانه وتعالى He commanded us and He told us to take matters back to them because of that station which they have and because of that virtue that they have one of the virtues that also come is that the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam he said as Imam Muhammad Nareed is Muslim and Imam Abdulbar he mentions it in his kitab جامع بين العلمة وفضل and others that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he said يحملوا هذا الدينة من كل خلف العدول هذا الدينة في كل جانب في كل حال الذين يذهبون to carry this العلمة is the reliable ones in other words the scholars the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam I refer to them as a reliable are you with me that they are what reliable and this is a tasquia tasquia means a praise from Allah you know when you want to go to university and ask for a person to write you a praise or letter in order to take it to Medina University or to take it to this university because you need to get accepted right the علماء they already have that from the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam because the prophet said that they are what عدول فول عنه التحريف الغالين وانتحال المبطلين وتأويل الجاهلين عبدالبر رحمة الله he says that this this statement of the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam which is that يحملوا هذا العلم من كل خلف عدوله he said وفيه دلالة there is a clear evidence in this hadith على أن العلماء عدولوا that the scholars are reliable وهو الأصل فيهم and that is the asset in them so by default the scholar is reliable unless there is something that shows us he is not reliable so anyone who says that scholar this scholar is not reliable فعليه بالدليل the asset is that he is reliable we are referring to the أهل السرنة they are reliable by default you want to remove him from this you are now leaving the asset the original state it is upon you to bring an evidence where he isn't reliable and why we shouldn't take the matter back to him also الله تعالى my beloved brothers and sisters took these people as a witness when Allah takes you as a witness and says for instance if a king today goes he gets caught in a situation or the king has a situation where he wants to prove that he is innocent for instance an accusation is spread out against him or something and the king comes out and he says to the people I never did this my witness my witness for this is فعليه بالدليل now the fact that he would use that person that person can't be somebody in the eyes of the people who is weak right if that person was weak in the eyes of the people the people just look at the king and say are you really going to use this person the only reason why he would point at this person is because through this individual he will get a lot of respect okay الله تعالى an example what I'm going to mention about الله is not connected just wanted to show you just using the example for that using a witness of somebody is because they're reliable and they're good الله تعالى when it came to proving that he is the only one who deserves to be worshipped he used witness for this I have witnesses for this he says شهد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو والملائكة وأول العلم قائما بالقصد الله mentions that he first of all Allah testifies that there is not worthy worshipping set him he says also what is a witness for this is that the angels and also a witness for this is the what the witness for this the witness for this is also the علبة ابن القيم said that this hire consists of in this ayah it consists of الشهد الشاهد أنا مشهود به شهد الشاهد أنا مشهود به and he expands on it more in his kitab مفتاح ودار سعادة and this is the first evidence he uses from he brings one hundred and fifty-three evidences one hundred and fifty-three virtues that the scholars have the first one he started with is this evidence شهد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو الله use them and said they are witness why did Allah use them because they are reliable they are what they are reliable محمد من المنكدر who is the teach of سفيار من عينا he said إن العالم بين الله وبين خلق فليانظر كيف يدخلوا عليهم محمد من المنكدر said إن العالم that the scholar is between الله and the creation فليانظر look at كيف يدخلوا عليهم how you enter onto him be careful when it comes to the matters of the scholars they are between الله and his creation in other words the people don't know Allah except for them سفيار من عينا as the student he expands on what his teacher said even more he says أعظم الناس بين الله وبين خلق الانبياء والعلماء سفيار من عينا said أعظم الناس the people who have the greatest station in the eyes of Allah is منكان بين الله the one between الله and his creation and who are they he said الانبياء والعلماء the prophets and the scholars and remember the prophet would you have known how to pray today the prophets the prophet Muhammad would you have known what Allah loves and what Allah hates without the prophet the answer is no you wouldn't have but now are you with me the prophet is gone who has taken his place the prophet he said the previous nations كلما مات النبي خلف النبي the previous nations كانت تسوصهم والانبياء the previous nations whenever a prophet died another prophet another prophet except this nation what's the difference with this nation this nation كلما مات النبي and every time a prophet dies Allah doesn't send another prophet he sends علماء because the prophet Muhammad is the last prophet so the scholars are the ones who are sitting in the places of the prophets that used to come that's why the prophet said إن العلماء ورثة الانبياء وإن الانبياء لم يورثوا درحمن ولا دينارا وإنما ورثوا العلم فمن أخذه أخذ بحجن وافيرن that the scholars are the inheritors of the prophet and what they inherited from them is not درحمن ودينار not money وإنما ورثوا العلماء what they inherited from them is what knowledge and anyone who takes that knowledge has surely gained a great portion so the علماء are between Allah and His creation through them we find out things ولذلك سهر عبد الله they expanded on that statement of محمد أبل المنكد رسول الله and he said من أراد أن ينظر إلى مجالس الانبياء anyone who today wants to look at the gatherings of the prophets the sittings of the prophets anyone who wants فلينظر إلى مجالس العلماء look at the gatherings of the scholars the circles where they are teaching that's exactly how the prophet gathering was his companions would sit and he would educate them if you go to the علماء circles is the same not demonstrations no no no the مجالس الانبياء he said is the مجالس العلماء the masjids and the places of خير and علم that's where is the gatherings of the prophets يجيء الرجل a man comes look at the gatherings of the scholars and the gatherings of the prophets this is how they were a man would come فيقولوا يا فولان he would say to the scholar or say to the prophet or the scholar يا فولان ايش تقولوا في رجل الحالف على مراتي بكدا وكدا a man who made his wife that he's going to do this this this this in other words if she does this this that he's going to divorce her and she does do it what would happen he said طلقت she's divorced the مراتي to his wife ويجيء آخر another one comes فيقولوا he says ما تقولوا في رجل الحالف على مراتي what do you say about a man who makes an oath to his wife in this this this matter فيقولوا the scholar would look and revise the issue when you say لا يحنوثوا بهذا القول they would just have to do this وليس هذا سهل عبدالله to study said no one has this rights إلا لنبي a prophet only عالي من a scholar فعرفوا لهم ذلك recognize that for them he's able to say to a person that your marriage is saved and you can save it for him by his fatwa just like a prophet and the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم يسالي للحديث which Imam Ahmad narrated in his Muslim Albani considered it to be صحيح that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said that the prophet said he's not from amongst us the one who doesn't honor his elder who doesn't have mercy towards his younger and does not recognize the rights of the scholar the question arises that what is the rights of the scholar the rights that you reference back matters to him هذا فنمو this is his deal from his right is that you bring back to him the religion and matters that are ambiguous and unclear is from the rights of the علماء and it falls under this حديث and it falls because الله said in the Quran وإذا جاءهم أمروا من الأمر أول خوفي أذاعوبه ولو ردوه إلى الرسول وإلا أولي الأمر منهم العلمة وإذا if a matter of safety and a matter of fear comes they go and they spread it الله says if only they were to bring it back to ولو ردوه إلى الرسول if only they brought it back to الله and his messenger and then Allah goes on to say وَأُولِ الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ there are people who have authority over them المفصيرين they mentioned that أُولُ الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ is that what the علامة if only they brought it back to the scholars and the people of knowledge شيخو الإسلام المتامية in his فتاب من هجسونة نبوية when he was talking about the difference between جيهد and فتنة جيهد which is جيهد شرعي and that فتنة and جيهد that people would call it جيهد but it's a فتنة and when he was talking about مقاتلة البغات fighting with the rebellious rebellious ones and etc. when he was talking about that شيخو الإسلام المتامية this is something very powerful he said وفيل جملة in conclusion after he spoke about the whole topic and he put everything in place but attention look what he said وفيل جملة in conclusion فالبحث في هذه الدقائق speaking about this detailed matter this is a powerful statement ابن تيمين says وفيل جملة after he spoke about all of the rules pertaining to this issue he says فالبحث في هذه the research of this particular matter this detailed matter في هذه الدقائق من وظيفة خواصة أهل العلم it's only for the specialized scholars خواصة أهل العلم the scholars and the scientists they are the ones who talk about these matters pertaining to what is jihada when should fight should happen and what not الله أكبر not every single person who sees a matter to be in that particular way or he likes it ألسف الماليكي narrated from the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the prophet said إنما مثل العلمات the prophet said that the likes of the scholars is like the scholars are like فيل أرضي on this earth كمثل ندوم they are like stars يهتد بها في ظلوبات البر والبحر through them people become guided on the earth and on the sea فإن أنطمسة ندوم if the stars they switch the dark pitch dark the people become close to becoming misguided they want nowhere to go in a direction they use the star to get to their destination this statement إمام أحمد narrated it الهيثمي it's weakened because of two narrators in there one is the scholars have differed on him when it comes to using him as a proof and also أبو حفس who is the narrator from any single Malik he's matured he's unknown either way if the senate of the hadith if the chain is weak فإن المعلاح صحر the meaning is correct the scholars are like stars and as we know through the Quran the stars has three benefits for us when we look at the Quran the Quran shows us that the stars has three benefits for us the first benefit that it has for us is that it is science for us to become guided the stars through them those who know it know what direction to go in the deserts people use stars to know what direction to go Allah mentions that in the Quran وعلى ماتن وبنجمي هم يهتدون الله says science and the stars is what the people used to become guided guided in knowing what direction and what way to go people you guys don't know it but the better in people if you go I went there and visited they know the qiblah through the stars I'll tell you all that stuff they know this stuff the second benefit that it has for you is what it beautifies the sky Allah mentions in the Quran ولقد زينا السماء الدنيا بمصابحة الله تباركوه تعالى he says and we have beautified the sky with the stars بمصابحة ده بقص حرف جرب مصابحة but it is بالفتحة لأنه لأنه نه اسم منوع من الصرف فعلاق comes in its form so Allah tells us that it's a beauty for the sky ولقد زينا السماء الدنيا بمصابحة the third one is what that it is it is something Allah uses to shoot the shayateen with and to destroy them with and that is what Allah says in the Quran وجعلناها رجومة للشayateen we use them as shooting stars to destroy the shayateen all three of those characteristics that are in the stars are in the skolis because that's what the skolis are the first one being that they are sides that people use to become guided that's exactly the skolis the skolis are the ones who guide the people to the straight path the guiding here means what He died to دلالة والإرشاد the guiding showing the people the straight path and bringing them to the correct path this is exactly what they do also the skolis are زيناة الأرض like the sky the stars are the زيناة السماء that they beautify the سماء the skolis they beautify this earth الله تبارك وتعالى He destroys people with the absence of the skolis and we took that before الله says أولم يروا أن نأتي الأرض ننقصها من الطرافها الله says do you not see that we destroy the earth some skolis say the destruction of this earth means by the skolis going and this is narrated from مجاهد ومجبرين and it is also narrated from قتادة which is it's the dying of your skolis and your jurists also we took that long حديث عبد الله عمر ابن العاص إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزعا ينتزيع من صدور الرجال ولكن يقبض العلم بقبض العلماء حتى إذا لم يبقى علما إتقاد الناس رؤوس رؤوس جهالة فسئلوا فأفتر بغير علم فضلوا وأضلوا فضلوا وأضلوا so the people come destroyed the death of the skolis the self they used to say both of the skolis the death of the skolis is it's a corruption and it's a harm we already took that before especially this statement of حافظ المحاجب brings it in what لا يأتي زبال إلا والذي بعده شر منه and the statement of حافظ المحاجب brings it when he explains that statement so through the skolis the earth is beautiful are you with me ولذلك أضو داود السجسان رحم الله are you with me brothers are you with me brothers when the fitna happened the fitna happened at his time there was a fitna that took place it was known as the fitna fitna to zinj the leader of that time he requested for Abu Dawood the great skola the sunan the author of the sunan he requested for him to go to the land in which corruption and fitna was not ending what did he request for him to do he said please go to that land and read your sunan there لأن العلماء when they go to the land and they spread knowledge الله تبارك وتعالى stops punishing those people الله تبارك وتعالى and I think this topic alone should this point alone should be made into a topic الله تبارك وتعالى saves land there are more than 30 statements from the salaf that the land is saved through the scholars شاء الله تعالى this will be a lecture another time the third one is رجو من الشياطين the stars are what they are shooting stars the stars are shot at the shayateen الله destroys them with it also the scholars are like that they are also رجو من الشياطين on this earth أهل البداعي والأهوائي والضلالات who speak about the religion without no knowledge who is the one who responds to them who is the one who destroys their شبه their doubts that they put forward who is the one who gives response to it who is the one who purifies this religion who is it that Allah uses to cleanse his religion and protect his religion it is through the what the scholars but it is like a while the scholars are alive but extremism doesn't take place in their gatherings they are the ones who teach the people to come with moderation not to go extreme exaggeration extreme in negligence و لذلك ألمام القرط بلاحمة الله when he came to the ayah فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله و اليوم الآخر ذلك خير و أحسن و تأويلة when he came to that ayah ألمام القرط بيو he said the following he says فأمر الله تعالى ينازع فيه إلى كتاب الله و سنة نبيه صلى الله عليه وسلم و ليس لغير العلماء معرفة كيفية الرد إلى الكتاب والسنة و يدل هذا على صحته كون سؤال العلماء واجب و امتثال فتواهم لازمة قرط بيسيز الله كماند to take back the ones who are arguing their matters to the كتاب and the sunnah and he said that is not for anyone other than the scholars because the ones who are not scholars don't know how to take it back to the كتاب and the sunnah if you tell him to take it back to the كتاب and the sunnah how is he going to the istimbaat of the hukum and he says what shows this is that و يدل هذا على صحته كون سؤال العلماء واجب because it is wajib to question and ask the scholars و امتثال فتواهم and to follow their verdicts Also sahr ibn abdillah qurtubih brings that statement of sahr ibn abdillah after that that he said يزال الناس و بخير the people are in good and they are in a state of stability معظموا السلطانة و العلماء as long as they honor and they respect their scholars and their leaders فإذا عظموا هذين if they honor those two إنهم يمتلكون هذه الأشياء وينهجونهم ، أصلح الله دنياهم وإخراهم الله تعالى will keep the worldly and the hereafter affairs intact في other words, the leader destroys your dunya and the scholar destroys your hereafter إذا you open your tongue and get to your leader he'll imprison you right and he'll give you a hard life in this world وإذا you say something about the علامة you're going to destroy your hereafter الله is going to punish you for that وإذا استخفوا بها ديني أفسد دنياهم وإخراهم وإذا you open your tongue by discrediting and insulting those two then your dunya and your hereafter both of them go out of the window you lose both of them so by honoring the scholars it means my beloved brothers and sisters as قردوة we took from it is that you take matters back to them they are the ones who have the rights to do so الرجوع إلى العلماء going back to the علماء أهل العلم الراسخون في العلم هو grounded in knowledge especially when the matter is قضايا which are نوازل take it back to them because prosperity of this world and the hereafter is connected to it prosperity of this world and the hereafter is connected to it and through that extremism can be battled and extremism can be cured whether it be extremism in exaggeration or extremism in negligence I want to conclude and finish there بإذن الله الكريم this series is now over بإذن الله الكريم اللغولو في دين extremism in the religion we spoke about all five chapters and five points that we were going to speak about as we said anything which I have said that was wrong incorrect mistakes it's a slip of time fault it's from me and Shaytan and I'm Allah who is messenger I'm free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوب إلي
