 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به، آياته فهو الكريم المنزاله، وأقول قال الله جل جلاله، والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أما بعد السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته وانتظرنا أخينا وإن لم يتمكن من المشاركة لأخر أشهر إلى منزل الهواتف ولكننا نقوم بضع هذا بسبب أرسالة معرية في قراءة ثانية we've seen a number of deaths of prominent Salafi scholars وبدأ مع المجمحة الشيخ محمد علي أدمي تيوبي قليلًا بعد ذلك وشيخ فلاح اسمعيل مندكر ونحن كذلك قليلًا كثيرًا كثيرًا نحن قمنا بمشاهد الشيخ عالي حسن الحلبي والله سبحانه وتعالى سأشاهد من أستاذ الغرفمان حسن ونريد أن نتحدث عن المساعدات والمساعدات ومساعدات المساعدات أيضًا ماذا يعني لنا؟ ماذا يمكننا أن نتحدث عن هذا؟ وماذا يمكننا أن نتحدث عن المساعدات؟ لأن قبل أن نتحدث عن المساعدات سنتحدث عن المساعدات وأنها مهمة لنا to benefit from our time while they're still alive with us on this earth السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته كما قلت في المساعدات ونحن قليلًا قليلًا كما قلت في المساعدات هذه المساعدات مع بعض الشيء من تلك المساعدات ويشتري سننبدأ الشيء تتصري بأخبار كيف حالنا هذه المساعدات هل تتوقفت مجدداً last few weeks؟ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدو علي الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وشدو أنه محمد العبده ورسوله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله والآله واصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحساني بلا يوم ودينا ما بعد The death of the great scholars of Islam is its pain and agony especially if you know the value of knowledge and the people of knowledge It was narrated that يحي بن جعفر البيكند يا رحمه الله He said if I had the ability and if Allah had given me the ability to give out my life to someone I would give it to Muhammad ابن يسماعيل ابنه يبراهيم البخاري رحمه الله or give him my life He said because my death he said is the death of one individual but he said the death of رمام البخاري is the death of all the absence of knowledge knowledge going and I would love to say the same but if I had the ability the strength and Allah I gave him it I would definitely give my life to a man like Muhammad عالي أعضمي تيوكي because what he was doing and what he was working on is something I wish I hope from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and وما كان عطاء ربك محبورة Allah's giving is never limited or restricted but it's something I wish to attain to explain the works or the statements of the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام بخاري المسلمة that's what he was working on so if he lived on he would have finished off the great itab and tell me that he was working on that he wished to finish in our religion جاهد he honors the concept of knowledge really I mean if you look at the few first verses that came down in the Quran من الله تبارك وتعالى يسأل اقل باسم ربك الذي خلق خلق الإنسان من علق إقرأ ربك الأكرم الذي علم بالقلم الذي علم بالقلم علم الإنسان من علم الله يشهد here something very profound many of us don't ponder over it الله يشهد سبحانه وتعالى the term إقرأ twice which is to read الله يشهد the word إنسان twice الله is telling the human twice being in a word and إنسان twice الله يشهد سبحانه وتعالى the word الخلق He mentions it twice and he mentions the word and the علم twice just in those few verses يعني from there you can take straight away that this is a religion that's it's about knowledge some speaks against ignorance rather the term علم and it's مشتقات يعني the word علم علمه يعلمه اشتقاقه you know breaking the word down in all of its derived root words of it you find it 850 times in the Quran wow and Allah mentions it because it's to take the people out of ignorance and the darknesses of ignorance and bring them to the light of knowledge so people have taken that responsibility and upon themselves to learn to acquire knowledge and the knowledge that we're talking about here is not the worldly knowledge it's the knowledge of the hereafter the knowledge of the Akhira these people it hurts you when you hear their death it touches you it moves you and it hurts more when it's a few of them it's not just one when I heard the death of شخم محمد علي أدم نيثيو براحمه الله رحمة الواسعة I didn't think it would feel as painful as when I then heard فلاح سمعي لون دا كارز دا and yesterday when I heard the death when I heard the death of علي حسن الحلبي رحمه الله رحمة الواسعة إيهات إيو مو أن مو أن مو and أبريزي تلحديثة the professor الله عليه وسلم وهي ساد حديث صحيحين حديث عبدالله من عمرب العاص إن الله لا ينتزع العلم انتزعا ينتزع من صدور الرجال ولكن ينتزع العلم بقبض العلمة حتى إذا لم يبقى عالما إتخذ الناس رؤوسا الجهالة فسؤروا فأفتوا برير علم فضلوا وأضلوا الله لا ينتزع العلم إن الله لا ينتزع العلم انتزع علم انتزعه من صدور الرجال الله لا ينتزع العلم ولكن ينتزع علم ينتزع العلم بحيث ينتزع الناس and then when the scholars pass away and they go that vacuum people try to fill it through those scholars they pretend to be like the scholars they don't have the qualification of the scholars the understanding of the scholars so they try to fill that vacuum they try to take that place occupy that seat the people then think okay they are the scholars and they go to them and they ask them for knowledge or they ask them about religious or the matters of the hierafter and they get fat with no knowledge the first people they misguide themselves and then they misguide the community and the people so we're living at a time where this hadith is taking place right in front of our eyes the scholars are the senior people that we see today and there are some of them who are still alive but are we going to benefit from them a lot of our youths and our youngsters are looking up to rappers and even the ones who are meant to be students of knowledge and the people of khair that you want to take there we don't listen to music we don't look up to the only actresses but they look up to football players for example and that's what they're discussing and that's what they're talking about so it's a sad moment and a sad time this particular time what's happened in COVID-19 this year the people who've died first of all we ask Allah bestow His never-ending mercy onto these great scholars about Islam and also I ask Allah that He doesn't forsake us that He doesn't remove these people from us and not replace anyone else with them I think the fact that it's happened in such a quick succession obviously there's a big wake-up call from many many people obviously within that you've had like you mentioned the COVID-19 pandemic where a lot of people have lost their loved ones a lot of people have died so far this year and who knows only Allah knows how many people are going to continue to that between now and the end of the year I'd like to talk a little bit about the status of the people of knowledge you touched on it briefly there when we see these deaths particularly for these people of knowledge should we feel the same as when a normal person dies or a person of knowledge dies like what is the different kind of feelings we should have in those situations the people of knowledge have a greater status they're not equal to the people who don't know Allah says in the Qur'an هل يستوي الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون إنما يتذكروا الألداء الله تبركه تعالية this call as they say استفهموا بمعنى النفي Allah is asking a question He said هل يستوي الذين يعلمون are they the same the ones who know and the ones who don't know are they the same in there is a negation they are not the same it's like a rhetorical question yes a rhetorical question Allah is negating سبحانه وتعالى التسويع these two people to be equal and then Allah says إنما يتذكروا الألداء the people who take heed and contemplate and look at the ending of matters are those who have insight and knowledge so we say yes definitely us and the scholars are not the same we are ignorant and the scholars are the people of knowledge of course we are not the same Allah is negated سبحانه وتعالى when we die when we die when we die when we die when we die when we die when we die when we die when we die when we die when a big thing happens these people these people the scholars Allah has taken them as a witness Allah used them as a Shahid as a Shuhada I mean testimony when you have you want to go to Jama'a you go to the university and this university says okay all of this that you told us about yourself we want somebody who can be a witness for it so you go and you get the most virtuous of people you ask them to write you a Tisquia يعني the reason you do that is because that individual his statement is value for you Allah used the علماء سبحانه وتعالى and he doesn't need to but because they have a high level Allah says in the Quran شهد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو والملائكة وأول العلم قائم بالقص لا إله إلا هو العزيز الحكير Allah says شهد الله الله bears witness and they think Allah is using them a witness for Shahid something profound it's the most important thing the reason why we're here in this world Allah is saying that شهد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو والملائكة so Allah uses the angels والملائكة وقولوا العلم قائم بالقص Allah the people of knowledge and then Allah mentioned right after them the people of knowledge العلم Allah uses them for Tuhit and Allah is saying I does not no one deserves to be I mean I don't deserve and no one should worship anyone besides me and my witness for that is the angels and the people of knowledge and Imam Al-Qurtou he mentioned something very profound he said if there was anyone more virtuous more virtuous then the angels and the people of knowledge Allah will use them and his Maqan his Maqan عظيم he specifically chosen so in response to your question the scholars there's no one like them they have something very big and the early nations when a prophet died Allah will be another prophet when the people become corrupted Allah will be another prophet then the people of the children of Adam when they got corrupted and they changed and left the way the Tuhit and the monetism Allah brought him نبي الله نوح وقال لا تذرن أالي هتكم ولا تذرن ودن ولا سواع ولا يغوث ويعوق ونصر when they started to worship idols or people they considered to be righteous or that were righteous ولا الله سبحانه و تعالى وزيبوا نوح نوح عليه السلام when نوح came to them نوح قول them الله تعالى ولكدر سنة نوح إلى قومه فلا بيت فيه ألف سنة إلى خمسين عامة 950 years will call them to Tuhit when you say to them يا قوم عبود الله مالك من إلهي 950 years will call them to Tuhit so now we don't have that when the prophet محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم is the last and final prophet الله تعالى he told us مكان محمد أبا أحد من رجالي وملك رسول الله وخاتم المبيين then Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is the last and final prophet الله sent so what's the people we go back to who are the people to substitute for us يعني to occupy that seat for us of course they're not exactly the same as the prophets and the messengers but they take the place of those great scholars they occupy their seat and they are the people of knowledge the prophet said كانت بنوا إسرائيلة تسوصوا من أنبياء بنوا إسرائيل the anbiya used to control their affairs and run their affairs كلما هلك النبي every time a prophet died another prophet would come and then the prophet said except that to me there's no prophet after me so there's no prophet after me these are the inheritors of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the prophet told us in Ali ريمام أحمد others narrated it من حديث ألي درداء من سلك طريقا يلتمس في علم سهل الله طريقا ليلجب أن يبدح ليه he mentions وإن العلماء ورثة الأمبياء the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets وإن الأمبياء لم يوريت ودي الحمن ولا دينام the prophets they didn't give they did not pass to the people يعني currencies and money and gold and silver what they passed on to the people is إنما ورثوا العلم فمن أخاده خادوا يحدي الماشل what they passed on to the people is knowledge علم so Allah raised them because of that scholars because they took that knowledge from the inheritors of the prophet because they took that and they lived by it and they presented it in the correct way without hating it without adding their own whims and desires into it الله raised them يرشع إله الذين أعملوا منكم والذين أوتوا العلم درجات الله raised the believers from the disbelievers and then within the believers الله raised them the people of knowledge greatest status so the Ulama festival their qadr and their position is very very high and the prophet of Allah محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was commanded الله commanded the prophet to ask him to increase him in knowledge there's nothing if you look at the whole entire Quran you will never find a prophet being told to ask الله to increase him in anything except this except this أقرب بزيدني ألمة أو الله to increase me in knowledge الله سبحانه وتعالى he's a prophet he's already been educated and taught and the benefits has been brought to him صلى الله عليه وسلم from Allah الله has educated the prophet and teaching him with that being said he's instructed still to ask الله for what to increase him in knowledge scholars they say this is what إياك أعني وسمعي عجابة الله is talking to the prophet but it's not him necessarily that's intended here it's us everyone it's all of us so يعني the scholars in line of poetry they said knowledge removes the darkness from the person the darkness of the heart knowledge will remove it كما يجلي سواد أبومة القمر the same way that this moon removes the darkness of the night when the moon comes it does فلول العلم ما سعيدة نفوز if it wasn't for knowledge souls of the people who will not find happiness ولا عريف الحلال ولا الحرام and we wouldn't know what is حلال from what is حرام we wouldn't فبل علم نجعته من المخازي and it's true knowledge that we are saved from humiliation when we جهلي والرغام and ignorance in it is where humiliation lies يعني I said this I said this to a few brothers before I said if you don't learn now and you become patient with ignorance you could have taken another path which is to be patient upon seeking knowledge which will have brought you اعنى في الدنيا ولا الحرام so you got two options because you're saying seeking knowledge is not easy but you got two options you either be patient upon that path where seeking knowledge is not easy but you attain knowledge at the end or what's harder is to be patient upon your ignorance where every single مسألة you always have to ask someone what's the answer to this what's the answer to this and even some of your private affairs you have to go to another person to get an answer and it's just going to be even harder in your life and yeah and also you're also going to be يعني بالتو يعني you're going to feel a vacuum people are going to بالتو يعني يعني your whole entire life is going to be يعني humility that's what you're going to live upon but in that what he said فمن لم يذق مرة تعالوا نسعة anyone who doesn't does not taste the bitterness of seeking knowledge for a portion of time تجرع ذل الجهل طول حياته are you going to go through the suffering of ignorance for the rest of your life then he said ومن فاتخوا التعليم وحالة شبابه if you lose off the opportunity of learning when you're young فكبر عليه اربع اللي وفاته then make تكبيره that person even if he's alive you can see it him dead فكبر عليه make تكبير on this person فكبر عليه اربع اللي وفاته instead when you're four when somebody dies this person even though he's still alive he's dead because الله تباركه he says in the ayah او من كان ميتا فاحيناه the one who's and we gave him in life وإني the revelation that's what he means he was dead يعني his heart was dead what is it that Allah gave him الله I gave him the knowledge of the revelation and that's when he became alive So and it's important that we take time out for life, you're big you're old you're still even 50 you're 60s and you're ignorant about your religion you're still young and if you're young and you know the religion of Allah you're a senior قانية لم يكن عند أنها فقط امات لا many people might be watching this at home and thinking I want to start trading the path of seeking knowledge It's difficult in this world obviously there's a lot of different responsibilities that I have the way the world works It requires me to have a full-time job Pay rent to my family How can one balance the portion of seeking knowledge among other commitments responsibilities و الأول ما يجب أن نفهم هو أن نعرف أنه يوجد فيه مناسبة إذا كنت تعرف أنه يوجد فيه مناسبة و أنت تفهمه فإنه ستكون

The Education أيضاً محمد علي أدي ميتيوبي ليس ينظر الشيخ أصبحت 70-80 أغريبة ومحادي عليك الشيخ هو أصبحت بوكس ساعات يوان يجب أن يساعد and read and verify the chain from this book to this book يعني the question that you ask yourself is how are you doing all of this when in reality you're very old in age it's him man, that's high aspiration and he's dedicated الله mentions subhanahu و تعالى the prophets to have this quality الله تعالى he says أولي العيد والأبصار يبن القي يبن القاية mentions يعني أولي العيد والأبصار here means that they combine between knowledge and also aspiration this is a quality that's taken from the prophets and it's a quality that's taken from the righteous people so first of all understand the value of knowledge the second advice I can give is you have to have sincerity of who are you gonna in order to learn knowledge you have to be very sincere if you have ulterior motives you're not gonna learn the poet he said when you wanna seek knowledge have four intentions and four reasons why you're seeking knowledge the first reason is you wanna live in ignorance you no longer wanna be ignorant you're sick and tired of saying I don't know you've understood I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand you've understood that if you just have يعني if you just come to this world and you exist and you stay in this world and you're ignorant no quima no benefit for you the poet he said the people are all the same in terms of their fathers your father is human, my father is also human who you come from is Adam I come from Adam your mother is original in الحوة my mother is original نفسهم كنفسهم وأرواحهم مشاكلتهم يعني ده النفوس are all the same أصوى وأعضوا من خلقت فيها وأعضاءوا I have limbs, body parts, you have bones you have veins وإنما أمهاتهم ناسي أو إيهاتهم مستودعاتهم والإحساني your lineage, my lineage is all subjective everything إلا كلهم من أصلهم شرف if we have really something to really praise ourselves for a real value that can give me over you or you over me is what it's not يفاقرون به فطين والماء you can't say the sound that you are made from or the earth that you are made from was lighter than the light there's no value ما the poet he says ما الفضل إلا لأهل العلم إنهم the virtues for the people of much على الهوداء اللي من استهداء الدلاء وقدروا كل مرء ما كان يرسلوا the virtue of everybody is what he can perfect and that's the real virtue so the first reason why your lineage is that you want to be a person who knows because you know no virtues for you if you don't know okay وثاني نفع القلق الجلال the second reason أوله القروض من بلالي the first reason your lineage is that you don't want to be ignorant you don't want to be in the darkness you don't want to be upon this kind the second one is وثاني نفع القلق الجلال وثاني ترحيائي للعلوم and the third one is to revive the knowledge حياء العلوم to revive the knowledge that has been abandoned and there's some sciences that you don't tend to find people talking about it they just abandoned it and the fourth reason your lineage is is to act upon the knowledge that you learned you want to live by it you want it to make حلال is حلال هو حرم حرم for you if you come with those two you understand the value of knowledge and also you have that intention to say intention عبد العباس and he said ينال المرء a person will attain knowledge بقدر نيتي in accordance to his intention and then after that if you find the right person to teach you a scholar a rounded person of knowledge and you benefit from that person you can learn and don't give up a lot of people give up after a year or two and if you think in the Greek this way a scholar of Islam became أولامة overnight of course not the poet said he said and don't give up on what you try to seek فأهفت أولامة the greatest harm for a student of knowledge is what is to give up it's the greatest harm أمان تولمات أبي تكراري do not see the water when it keeps dropping on a rock it paces the rock finally and that's how it is it's consistency just keep going on don't give up why are you stopping for so carry on and sometimes when you're reading a book of a great scholar you read a great scholar in this book you say you're shocked you're taking back recently and I was listening to a voice about Shea Abdullah Ikele he's a noble scholar from Somalia in there he mentions يعني 1972 when 1972 which is a while back he was studying فيت العراق 1972 I left it was 50 years ago of 50 48 50 years ago I mean I mean that time what they were reading what they were benefitting from now someone from us reads it or a person taught us these works but we learned something later we feel like we're better than the people that we benefited from and the people and it's أجيب الله it took me back يعني that's double my age double my life and we also have to remember the people are teaching us and benefitting us when it comes to Islamic knowledge that we respect and we love them when we die people might disrespect them and look down on them but they learnt Salafiyah and they learnt عقيدة أهل السنة because of these colors the poet he said إذا أفادك إنسان بفائدة ملال علوم فأدم شكه أبدا وقل فلال جزاق الله صالحة أفادنيها وألق الكبر و الحزدا if a person benefits you وحدث when Allah rewards you with good you benefited me this thing I didn't know before in my life and get rid of arrogance and stubbornness this feeling that you have when a person taught you he took you out of the darkness of ignorance he benefited you in your life personally it outweighs anything that you might have against him and then now you have the island of the scholar you criticize him and say he is not an Ahli Sunnah he is ضالن مضلن your mom and dad were not married when he was teaching and educating the Ummah so how do you think you are going to learn if you disrespect a scholar how are you going to learn I remember reading a while back there were three men ثمامة بن أشرم I think his name is and he will do Adin it was a long time ago when I read it they were the reason why Ahmed was in prison and harmed and whatnot and because of them Ahmed was killed so I think it was Al-Waafiq who killed Ahmed I think it was Al-Waafiq Al-Waafiq after he killed Ahmed he said after he killed him when by Ahmed I became very hurt he regretted it who regretted it Al-Waafiq the Muslim leader he regretted killing Ahmed so he wanted to do Adin he said look you guys are criminals you guys are wrong so three of them made dua'a against themselves he said he wanted to do Adin he said if I am lying about Allah kill me in my own skin so mama said if I am lying his death wasn't right يومي الله سبحانه وتعالى make me swords of the people and the third one I don't remember because all three of them died in a way that he wanted to do Adin he died in his own skin what does that mean he was dead he was dead even for it just look at things what's his name I think and then the tribe of the people of they saw him there and they all took their blades and they killed him and then they took his body out of the haram and they threw his body outside the outskirts of the city and they left him in the middle of the in the road so the poet he said he says the flesh and the skin the honor of the scholars is very protected and the news of Allah سبحانه وتعالى is that the person who opens his town to the scholars to sell them to speak bad about them الله will take your life and will take your heart away from you apostasy, innovation deviation what happened to you before actual death comes to you والله I saw people opened their town with a ruler I remember a brother who one day insulted She'a Abdul-Zaq Al-Berda and I said this statement of yours والله it's gonna don't take a light we just said right now it's got a consequence to it I remember this the flesh of the scholars is poisonous I remember this is gonna go some والله والله I don't know if he's a Muslim I just want to say I don't know if he's a Muslim so I just want to say to protect your akra you don't want the scholars to be a person you feel roomate about it when you're a baby the elephant bat and the ta and the taf the differences between the ta and the ta you learnt it from him you taught him Salafiyah you learnt it from him but maybe الله has a wisdom in everything he says or does إن شاء الله maybe this is the way الله to expiate for the great Imam that people speak about him and he gets their reward يوم القيامة I do want to say one thing that the scholars الله تبارب وتعالى mentions for the scholars that they are I mean a famous hadith من سلك طريقا إما سهل الله لهم طريقا إلى الجنة وإما العلم لا يستغفروا له من في الأرض او من في السماء حتى الحي كانوا في جو في الماء the prophet mentioned in this hadith he says Allah that the scholar not only are the creations above which is the the angels and the noble creations out there but also the creation of this earth asked Allah's forgiveness for the people of knowledge حتى الحي كانوا في جو في الماء even the fishes in the sea because the earth gets destroyed when the scholars go what do you mean by that the absence of the scholars when the scholars pass away الله سبحانه وتعالى it is destruction to the earth it is the earth losing it is the destruction of the earth happening الله تعالى says من قصوها من أطرافها do you not see that we are reducing from the earth the scholars of Tafseer he says do you not see that we are reducing from the earth the destruction coming to the earth he is by the scholars passing away و أهل الخيلي منها and the people of virtue و جاهد من أجابلين he said و موت العلم the death of the scholar موت العلم the death of the scholar is a thulma it is a thulma it is a vacuum لا يسدها شيء و المختلف الليل لا يسدها شيء يعني تشعر هذا المكان كما يفعله للمن سعيد ابن جوبيل he was mentioned أهل العلاق حلالي بن خباب he said أهل العلاق يا با عبد الله ما علامة هلاكي الأرض what is the sign that this earth is going to be destroyed and then he said إذا هلاك علا ما أقول the scholars pass away and the scholars die they know that the earth is being destroyed and he took it from the ayah that the earth if a scholar dies from the earth and passes away is destroyed and he took it from the ayah that the earth if a scholar dies from the earth and passes away is everything يعني خير قول the angels are making du'a for this creation of Allah the people of the earth are benefiting and making du'a for him even the creatures around him it's because of him Allah is protecting the people to fall into sins subhan Allah the scholars historically even when you look at them they played a big role in Islam what happened with subhan Allah is that I was reading in the seerah of رحمه الله إسم العبد السلام at his time they changed things they changed issues in the community they play a direct change in the society the leader of that time he came to العبد السلام and he said to him you can see the tatar are coming and waging war on the al-Misriya Egypt what do you think we should do and he said to him the money from the bayt al-mari muslim is coming to an end we don't have enough money we are financially struggling and he said to him I would want to go to the businessman okay and I would also want to go to the muslims and place on them tax so I can get that money in order to fight to save them and save the land and رحمه الله he said there's nothing wrong with you taking money from the businessman and the rich men and there's also not a problem taxing the people in order to get that money to protect the land of the muslims but first of all start with yourself the money and the palaces and the qusur that you're living in and your employees and the people who work for you and the ministers and start with them first once you have their money I promise you the people will be easy to convince to give money and like that you see them taking and it was mentioned then they went to the jihad and they won they went went to the jihad and they beat the town this was also Subhan Allah he had another moqif like that another he played like that what happened at the time was a day of the leader was coming out and the people were going to the leader when he comes they crowded him they were jumping on him when the sheikh came walking to the leader and then he said to him here you are enjoying the blessings of the land and you're enjoying everything and you're reaping the benefits of this land if Allah says to يوم القيامة ألم أبوي لك مصر did I not give you Egypt and its treasures and everything and here you are in control of this country and there's a place a shop that sells khamar and then he said to him is that really the case is there a place where khamar is being sold he said yes he said where the leader said and then he said shop so and so he said but this was done way before me my father is the one who at that time nothing mean I never did this and then he said you are from the people who are going to say we found our forefathers we found our forefathers we found our forefathers we found our forefathers upon this way we're just going to try to do them the leader said okay he commanded these employees or the workers to go and lock that place down close it down so the older I had in my work if by Allah and the noble situations even recently in my country Somalia there was a an article that was written in the constitution in the country there was an article written in the constitution of the country and subhan Allah the مشaik came together there was an article which was dangerous it was khadir and they played their role جيب الله they came together they wrote a bayan on it and then they went to the the the leader of the country and they presented the situation to him and he said is this something you're pleased with because remember when a government who officially recognizes puts an article into the constitution to remove that is not going to be accepted internationally and you can be held accountable for that article because it can only be done by another it's going to be a problem to remove it it's not just it goes through a hard procedure the point is the scholars are the ones that do that they call the people to the good and they protect them from harm so when these people go you find people insulting the صحاب is coming out you see people insulting the مصادر of Islam the مصادر of Islam تطاول corrupted innovators could as evil as this can live at a time when knowledge goes down the ones that we see today they can't these innovators will never last a day at the time of أحمد احمد I've often heard you talk about the parable of the scholars being like the border control countries borders if you want to go into that a little bit more detail that might be a benefit in that an example for that is كريم العوجان he came and he said after they executed him he said 4,000 حديث he says وحللو فيه الحلال I made a Halal I made a Halal you made a Halal it's fabricated played around with your legislation so he said you can kill me if you want to now and he was a heretic سبحان الله you know You are going to die your life is coming to an end now as for what you've done and what you left behind يعيشوا لها الجهابنة The great scholars of Islam will go live for this the likes of Abdullah ibn Muawarak Abdullah رحمان ibn Mahdiyan تحاك الشيزة ماركب و取 راجل وزاعي these great imams of Islam بأن يتحدث معه و يجب أن يحجبهم و يجب ان يبدأ مقيقاً على العالم و يجب أن يتم تجد عنه يجب أن يتم يحجب بكلمة العألة. إنه إذا كيف يوجد تفكير أخكار، لكن كل جهاز يجب أن يجميحanting أقلاته موضوعاًاتاً و نحولها فشأة أو لم. And that's what the scholars are. They protect our religion first. إنهم هو يحتاج عمليات لخلق يسفر الله على بصيره . لذا فالأحيانه ، إنه يحذر ، يحذر ، إنه يدعي ، يسفر . ومرسال الله عليه وسلمه يسالينا حليف، حليف أرسل المريك. المرسال الله عليه وسلم يخبرني . والليدي بعده وشهره ومنه سمائته ومنه بيكو واسمه مماليك ويسأل this يسأل they won't come at time except the one after it is going to be worse and it is as time goes on it's going to get worse سكول is then a question كما حجر مانشز في مصفح البيئة يعني قدش تشكى لهذا الاطلاق it's unrestricted, it's stable وليدي بعده وشهره ومنه how do we work on this Halita يسأل الوقت بعده وشهره ومنه حجر يبري يوسف was before عمر عبد العزيز وعمر عبد العزيز and a noble man يعني his time يبري حجر even says you could even say that the evil was gone يعني that's how well he shovels happiness, joy was for the Muslims so how do you reconcile that with the Hadith سبحان الله يبري حجر says many people have said different views from the Hadith how to reconcile between he mentions that even that though يعني the time of Hajjaj يبري يوسف the killing of the people was more the Sahabas were were there يعني the time they were killed but it means the ulama were more at the time of who Hajjaj يبري يوسف at the time of so whose time was literally better when we look at it so the issue isn't about rain coming down عبد العزيز it's not about crops it's based on who was alive at that time the Prophet سيأتي على أمه في زمان there's going to come a time I signed him the Prophet said يكثل القراء the reciters are going to be a lot ويقلوا الفقها and the jurists will be very little ويقببوا العلم ويكثلوا الهرج knowledge will be removed and death will become a lot سبحان الله this time when it comes the Hadith mentions the reciters are more the people are more people are reading they don't understand what you're reading ويقبضوا العلم the people of knowledge will be taken right after that it says ويكثل حرج ويكثل حرج means what death will become a lot murder and killing will be a lot here it's saying that when scholars die people will be unjustly killed right I see it's a connection between the two it's a connection one person in another word in the Prophet when the science of the hour is aided knowledge will go and the ignorance will become a lot ويشرب الخب alcohol will be consumed ويفشل زيلا زيلا will spread ويقلوا الرجال ويقلوا بيقلوا وتكثلوا المساء and they will be made حتى يكون قيم وخمسين مراءة رجل واحد وإن أن يكون أصولا ويكون مرائية بعض الكثير من the scholars they explain how it means أولا سنرى that ignorance will be taken وخمس will spread right after that they will start to consume alcohol الناس will be crossed because the people who used to stop the people from this are now going they died and they're passing away these two right now have been made halaf يعني الشرب الخامر وزينا يصبح لومه في الفيديو ولماذا تحاولين ما هذا أخيه يجيب؟ دفع، دفنس يأتي نعم نعم نحن نتحدث بشكل كبير عن السكولات ومالذي أهم في حالنا ماذا هو السكولات؟ مالذي يجيب على السكولات؟ نحن نتحدث بشكل كبير فالسكولات يعني الإسلام هناك سكولات في العلم ولكن عندما نقول سكولات نحن نفعلها شخص who is grounded in the religion of Islam There are characteristics that the scholars have in order to know who a scholar is and who is not a scholar The first one is The person who is a scholar he has he's inherited the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم so in other words he knows the Hadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم of course the Qur'an is a must he has that Hadith فهناس من who doesn't have Hadith all day he's got Imam so-and-so said this he's just got the views of many scholars doesn't make him a scholar and if you know a man he said this and a waza'ee said this and later we saw it and said doesn't necessarily make you a scholar فسطة في عبتها دليل النصوص الوحيين وذلك حديث what is mentioned إن الأعلماء ورطت الأمبياء وإن الأمبياء لم يوريت وقد يرهمن وليدي ناره وإنما ورغب العلم so what you've inherited you inherited the Prophet's statements yes وعالي that's the first one so my self is not enough that's the first one the second one is معارفة وجوه الخلعات I know what the Qur'an is but I know it's the different station of the Qur'an أبو دردى أحمد ريتدي بسندي with his own chain of knowledge أحمد ريتدي إنك لا تفقى بكل شكل you're not gonna truly understand حتى تلعل القرآن وجوها until when you look at the Qur'an you're not gonna be a faqih you're not gonna be understanding of this religion unless when you read the Qur'an you can see different recitations and the meanings are in each recitation إِسْ حَقِرْ بِنُ أَبِيدْ تَمِيمَ تَسْسَخْتِيَانِ he commented on the statement of Darda'a he said يَهَابُ الْإِقْدَابِ عَلِي the person becomes very vigilant to go forward and speak about the Qur'an you need to know Qur'an and stuff like that the third one is معارفة أقوان الصحابة and when Aarim knows the statements of the Sahabas سعيد ابن أبي عروبة he said من لم يسمع إلى الاختلاف فلا تأدوه عالما the one who hasn't heard the different views of the Sahabas don't consider him a scour فلا تأدوه عالما مارك رحمه الله was asked but he used to say he used to say لا تجوزوا فتيا إلا لمن عالما مختلفا ناس وفي he used to say that ومارك used to say it is not permissible for a person an individual إلا لمن عالما مختلفا من الناس واتله knows what the people differ about so then they said to him اختلاف أهل الرأي اي تكنوا بالاختلاف اهل الرأي يعني اختلاف أهل الرأي اهل الرأي يعني اعراق they referred to them and he said لا اختلاف أصحابا محمد I'm referring to the اختلاف of the Sahabas and the Prophet and then he said وعلم الناسق والمدسوق the abrogated verses من القرآن من القرآن ومن حديثة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم the person knows the حديث of the Prophet وذلك تجديل السوق he writes this point he says إن المرأة إذا من يعرف إلما الخلافي والمأخا لا يكون فقيها إلى عيالي الجمال في سامل خيار that a person is not considered a person of knowledge he's not if he doesn't know the differences of opinions the most of Sahabas you know you know the you know the the Sahabas and you only do you not just know the difference of opinion you know what the root reason for the differences is if you don't know that تجديل السوق he said you're never an عالم حتى يالي الجمال في سامل خيار until the camel goes through the middle also عبد الملك ابن حبيب and he said سمعت البنوما الجشون I heard ابنوما الجشون in Sayer كاروا يقولون that the people used to say ابنوما الجشون is not an ابنوما الجشون I understand من لم يكون ابنوما الجشون if you don't know ابنوما الجشون عبدالله مبارك and he said ابنوما الجشون when he was asked عبدالله مبارك ما تاياسا عور رجل when is it permissible for a man when can a man come forward and give fat from himself he said إذا كان عالي من بالأثر if the person has knowledge of the أثر صنع بصيرا برأي and he has inside of رأي يعني فق so he's got it يعني القرآن السنة and he's got the ability to extract the evidences for improvement also a person who's a scholar is a person لا يتبع أقوى للشان he doesn't follow the strange opinions I don't find people today all they do is oh this person what did he say oh he said اذا really I don't do that ولي ذلك عبد الرحمن ولي مهدي يسأل لا يكونوا إمامة في العلم أخذ بالشادي من العلم he's a Norse Imam in knowledge the one who takes strange opinions also the fifth quality of a scholar is he's what he gets right is more than what he does wrong we don't believe the scholars are incredible we believe they do mistakes they come short but what they do right is more than what they do wrong ولي ذلك حافظه بن عبد البر رحم الله لا يسلام العالم من الخطأ العلم never save from mistakes he's not free from doing mistakes فمن أخطأ قليلا anyone who does little big mistakes he does few mistakes وأصاب كثير and gets it right a lot فول العلم he's a scholar ومن أصاب قليلا anyone who gets it right sometimes here and there وأخطأ كثير and he does many mistakes فول جاهد he's ignorant he's ignorant a sign of to know these persons وعلم is that عنده with him is قدرة بيابلتي على الدفاع الشريع he can defend the religion ونو حديث عن اليمام وخطيب ولمغداده ونوريته ان يكتاب رفت صحاب العديد ورعب البر وصه ونوريته اتكتاب التبيد that the professor عالي سلام السلام ان شاء الله تعالى الصحية يحمل هذا العلم this knowledge it will be carried by من كل خلفين every generation ينفون عنه تحريف الغالي وانتحالي المغطلين وتقويلي جاهيلين ما they defend from this religion is what the distortion of the extreme one and also the ignorant of the ignorant one what he's saying about the religion and speaking with no understanding comprehension and the distortion he wants to do to interpret it he can't defend the religion someone who can't do it and who can't defend the religion whenever a shoe has bought a religion actually what I don't know I'm confused well I he doubts seeped into my heart you know I was in state of confusion for the last 30 years of the last five years you know that's not an علم علم can defend his religion yeah okay he doesn't crumble his own his whole entire religion I mean today if you go to a gathering and they talk about God doesn't exist and you come out and say why I doubt well I that means you were not not you don't know it of the religion لذلك in Islam we have after the Prophet died we have people known as فقهاء السبع المدينة these are the people who were the فقهاء of مدينة seven men the poet he said إذا قيلة من في إذا قيلة من في العلم سبعة أمحورة روايتهم ليس تعليل علم خارجة فقولهم ريد الله عروة القاسم السعيد أبو بكرن سليمان وخارجة seven these seven are called فقهاء السبعة these seven men رحمهم الله they defended the religion يعني they understand they transmitted it gave me look علمه اهل العلم the sixth quality of the scholar is his students that he produces kind of students he has ألي بعموه ابن حدر العسقلان he has appraisal of the كتاب الرد الوافر of ناصر ديلة المشكل ناصر ديل المشكل كتاب where he wanted to praise him and ماء came out and he said anyone who calls شخص يسلام يجمون تايلة شخص يسلام يكافر so ناصر ديلة المشكل came and he authored a book and in this book ناصر ديلة المشكل brings the statement of great scholars who said يجمون تايلة المشكل يسلام referred to him as شخص يسلام and this is what you're going to make تقفير of these people إبن حدر رد this book of ناصر ديلة المشكل and he then put appraisal on the book يطلق it you can find it written by his شخص ديلة سخاوية brings it in this كتاب الجواهر والدورة إبن حدر he says about ابن تايميا after he praises him he says ولو لم يكن لشيق تقي يدين ولو لم يكن لشيق تقي يدين if there was nothing for الشيق الإسلام ببن تايميا من المنائر and no other virtue إلا تلميده الشهير except he is well-known student الشيخو شمس الديل ابن رقيم الجوزية صاحب التساثري في النافعة أول هو بقيت بل في الشواب اكس الساعترة التي انتفع به الموافق والمقالف the one who agrees with ابن تايميا علي ابن رقيم will bet it يكسيل واعدد أبره and the ones who oppose them of course the one who oppose them agrees that he is better in these works of ابن رقيم and the one who agrees with للمتنصف فيه هذا مان اللون المقايا المبنى المقايا لكاما غاية في الدلالة على عظيم المبنزيلة بحيث أنه يجب أن يقوم بشكل مبنى المقايا أيضاً، مقاياً مقاياً هي كبرة مؤلفات المافعة المجموعة يوجد كبير كبير كبير كبير وليذلك أبو طاهل السلف وقام بأمي سلمان الخطابي يغطروا الكتاب قد ألعزل أعماله أبيض طاهرة سيلة فيه سيس يعني about أبيس سليبان الخطابي to show you that this man is an Al-Alim and how deeply grounded he is in knowledge look at his works so for example at our era now you have Muhammad Nassr al-Dina at Albani Shaykh Al-Albani رحمه الله وتعالى look at his works if you've put away everything else inside just look at his works that is enough for you to say he's an Al-Alim even if you put aside all the scholars what do they say about Al-Alim if you try to deny the works of Shaykh Al-Islam Shaykh Muhammad Nassr al-Dina at Albani رحمه الله وتعالى it's like you put your hand on the sun it doesn't make the dark but it doesn't that's still right you're just blinding yourself from the reality I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى you bend me when I call on me that he doesn't take these great scholars away from us and then leave us in darknesses I wonder if he's a really fear Shaykh when these scholars die and it's what's happened historically in Islam and it's fear and we ask Allah's sincerity for it and that's why I want to take this opportunity to say to the listener that people are watching those are the ulama those are the correct qualities that they have don't give this title to Shaykh Al-Alim scholar to a babes student of knowledge because you're playing with terms of the Shaykh and what generally happens is that when the scholars die what happens is a concept known as ترئيس وجهلة the ignorant people are pushed forward either they push themselves forward or people in his circles they push him forward and he somehow believes from that that his Shaykh was Islam of his time and he confuses him and he tried to confuse the other people I didn't mention the hadith عبد الله العمر مع أصح صحيحين إن الله لا يخبب العلمة تزاعة علي معا مصدر توشي رحم الله اكسبيل his hadith he bought something very powerful out of it he said تدبر هذه الحديث he said قانة and contemplate on his hadith he says this hadith shows this powerful فائدة لاقفة he bought out of it he says this hadith shows that the harm does not come to the people from their ulama the issue the problem that people have in the religion confusion is it doesn't come from the ulama and issues that they have في العالم الأفرام ولماذا يمكنهم أن يتفقل؟ The text is not making What's happening here? It doesn't come from the Urlama It comes from يقول أنه يقول It comes to them from the angle of They go to the ignorant people People they think are scholars When they go to these people They ask those people for questions And those people bring forward some Shocking things to the table And Yeah Problems come from there So here I'm scared that This might be the situation that might happen So it is Advice I give to the brothers and sisters Who I speak to and those who are I don't get the chance to speak to them To understand That With those qualities You mentioned something He says He says He says He says He says He says He says He says He says So one of the Problems that we're going to see The difference in opinions Why we see division amongst the Muslims One of the reasons Shartibi points out Is A person sees in himself that he's a scholar Or those around him in circles They see him as a scholar And they start to take his view As a view out there And then they say The scholars have differed in this issue The scholars really differed in this issue No The scholars have differed in this issue There's a Jahil and a scholar The Jahil of course has not given any consideration And the scholars are given consideration And when we did have he said something Very powerful he said A people who attributed themselves To knowledge From the outer So from the outer They look like scholars, they dress like scholars They wear the bisht and the shema and the imam Like all of this And then he says And they didn't Corroud They only know little things about it They only know little things about it They only know little things Which then they start to think that as scholars So Those are the scholars They are passing away every day There are senior scholars now Still alive Like العلمة الشيخ صالحان فوزاد الشيخ عبد المحسين العباد الشيخ ربيعي بلهادي المدخلي And other great scholars who are still alive في قيد الحياة We should go to those scholars and benefit from them And see them As They wrote those last moments of their lives And be connected to them Because While we are with our العلمة And we are stuck with the علمة And we are connected with the علمة الشيخ عبد المحسين العباد If we leave the علمة And we abandon the scholars We will suffer It's not a low status To call somebody a scholar It's not an easy thing to achieve It shouldn't be thrown around Easy like that And I think In our time certainly There are two ways really that I see this issue Of the ignorant people pushing themselves forward In One of them is through the death of the scholars Which we've been talking about But another one has actually become very regional Like there are no scholars in the west For example you hear these statements And therefore I need to come forward Because I understand the reality of the west Better than the scholars in the east And I think you mentioned this previous on the podcast And I really like your approach And this is a very balanced approach How should we deal with this situation Where admittedly there are people in the west Who know the situation and the reality Better than the scholars in the east Yet they don't have the knowledge that the scholars in the east do How do we reconcile between the two It's straightforward If you know a situation We do that on a regular basis Even my relationship With my employees Or people I work with Or my relationship with my spouse for example I know it and when I go to the scholar I don't give myself fatwa because I know those situations It's the same situation We have a problem with your wife You don't go I know my situation About me and my wife so I'm just going to give the fatwa You take the situation to an anim You sit in front of the scholar And you say I'm married I've got a wife This is what she's saying There's a difference What does Allah his messenger say in this situation Was to delete, was to issue Help me up Sheikh Was the best way to go about it So that's just a very It seems very obvious when you lay it out like that So the role of the student knowledge in the west Is to present the situation To the scholar in the east for example And then get the fatwa But not to say that the scholar doesn't understand And then I'm just going to present I mean the scholar is in the west You go to him If he is in the west And you have a scholar in the west You go to that scholar and you ask him But the thing is that We're finding Truth be said We're finding people who are truly not And they don't have knowledge of the deep They don't have knowledge Everyone can see that Any baby A beginner student of knowledge can see that That this person doesn't have knowledge And he's He's trying to debunk Big concept in Islam I recently read a book Of the misconceptions That he's thrown against Islam One author And I don't want to mention his name He wrote a book And he's trying to speak on some Ahadiths And try it because Liberal, western Academia are pushing this Against Islam And he goes into authentication And weakening What do you know about Ahadith What's your quality And I don't Remember when I mentioned those conditions Certificate is irrelevant If you don't have the knowledge And if you have the certificate With the knowledge Allah has You've got So when I say qualification I don't mean a certificate Or a certificate What do you know about the science You know yourself You're going to stand in front of Allah What do you know about this issue And the beauty About a person is To know yourself Is not bad And say I don't know this issue I don't And the benefit with that is Once you do say I don't know it It's one of the things that opens seeking knowledge You go on And seek more knowledge Because you know you don't know But when you lie to yourself And say I do know You never learn That person five years later When you come to him He still doesn't know anything But when you admit And you say I don't know this I really don't know this And all of them Said I don't know They followed the issue But didn't follow them So They truly suffered From that perspective And it's sad because People are very fast Speaking about religious issue But the issue that I don't know I was with a brother And I was asking him About how to use the iPhone And it's a brother أعلم أنه يتحدث عن كل شيء حسب اللعنة أكثر تقول أنه لا يتحدث عن المشاكل أنه يتحدث عن خطيره إذا كانت فرصة و you researched the issue و you looked into the answer of this question and you have your research and you looked at it يمكنك أن تتحدث عنها rather than being an expert in that question the answer that you have هل هذا يجب أن يفهم? ولكن بحيث عن كل شيء أنت تعلم أنك لا تعلم his ignorance. When I asked him about the he goes I can't speak English, I don't know. I use that as a false, and I said whatever the deal of Allah is with each other. because they hit me, just click. I hope that will become a wake-up call for me and myself. But that's the thing. And I swear to God when you look at the給 والجينة and sometimes I call سما شايخ I call the给 and even Arab scholars I call them, I speak to them. لكن أريد أن أفعل شيء أكثر، مثل المحاولة، كيف أفعلها، ما أقول أو even مجانة أرسل أو أرسل منها وأنا أحاولةها، أرسلها، أرسلها أحاولة أقوال العلمة عن هذه الأشياء ثم أقول العالم، وأنا أقول الشيخ أحاولت أدى هذا المسألة في هذا المكان ما رأيك، ما أفهم؟ أفهمه بسيطة؟ أيضا، هل أشياء؟ وانتظر إلى ما يجب أن يقوله ، أرى ما يقوله ، يجب أن يأخذ أساعدة من أساعدة ما أرى لديه نقاش ، نتحدث معه ، بعد ذلك لا أفعل تقليد من الشيخ ، لا أفعل معه الشيخ ، لا أأخذ أساعدة ولكن في الوقت أنا أفضل منهم ، أفضل منهم أذكر أن الكتاب التبيار في أهداف يحملوا إلى القوان ، عندما أفضل منه أشياء أفضل من الشيخ هو أن هناك أشياء when Noah speaks about the issue of the Muhannat مخلنة ماذا ؟ همفضل نعم همفضل نعم همفضل هذا هو المفضل و when Noah speaks about it في our land we don't have this issue so why when the sheikh was teacher he thought we don't have this problem so there's no need to talk about it so he flipped the page over that really resonated with me not everything you read this is not everything you see in a book is you go out and you tell everybody about it and this when we both was narrated from it they said and they tell the people what their brains can comprehend do you want them to disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger or you don't tell the people that which their minds cannot comprehend except that you become a fitna for them because the people fitna and then the alim is not one just who knows he knows when the time to speak is there he speaks and when he sees that this is not the time to speak this is a time to hold back that he holds back these are the people of Allah the people Allah chose they are holding this religion defending it spreading it at least that we can do is study the biographies and these are the words that I mentioned in our book when he died when he died all of these great scholars of Islam are meant to dunya we need to know who they are benefit so we can benefit from them so we can benefit from their lives so we can give them their rights it's sad for a Muslim today to know how much a football player was bought for and who's better this football player or this football player and what team he's on or to know actors and actresses also if you're a student or a baby student of knowledge you don't know much about the religion أخي تكلة if you don't know you know you don't know don't speak about the people of knowledge if you're not in Da'wah you're just a Muslim 9-5 your opinion regarding a view or an issue or your opinion regarding a Da'wah or your opinion regarding a scholar is irrelevant if you're not in Da'wah if you're just an employee 9-5 worker you go and you just do your job this is not your Majan you find brothers who are bus drivers they are school teachers and they're talking about who should be took knowledge from and this person is good they take care of your children they take care of your wife they take care of your family and they leave this field for its people if you're a student of knowledge don't speak about really about what they have against each other on that point there are situations where there are genuine differences and disagreements between the scholars how should our attitude be when that occurs when we disagree with each other how should we navigate through that kind of issue if these people do 2 علامة اهل سنة بوث of them we have to respect both علم and of course a haq might be with one and the other one might be wrong but we look at we look at the type of mistake that he did we don't understand if it's a mistake first of all the default position is علم is not I know that some of us they use it as infallible it's not infallible some brothers they say it's a مرحب of this person you just prove it to be this person as a human being are you expecting it to be errorless no faults no errors who are you expecting to be perfect and have no mistakes and errors but you're telling me this brothers in Da'a you've been in Da'a for 20 years and he's mashallah for 4 mistakes and 5 mistakes that you have against him come on and they're not in the and they're not fundamental issues and of course one mistake you can make a pass and leave the religion of Islam and one mistake can also take you out of the sunnah I'm not saying it's the quantity of mistakes but that being said that being said it's you misconstrued the statement of that and it's not necessarily the case in a situation like that he's going to be your خص in front of Allah in front of Allah he's going to ask you to begin with his righteous deeds so think about what you're saying if you were to try to please your crew and your party then you can do it for now when you stand in front of Allah in front of him and you've taken this person's honor and you've said about them and they don't forgive because they're dead how could they forgive you think twice about what you're saying and so coming back to the answer is that we've seen this historically take place in Islamic history who had they critiqued each other deeply deeply deeply and deeply but what it really takes me back and I find it so different to our time compared to that time the issue of scholars speaking against each other doesn't seem to be new but I've seen it it's واضح that what the scholars say about one another seems to be consistent you have you have you have you have you have how do you find that أقران when he says أقران يطوا ولا يروا and the statements of the contemporaries is dismissed and it's not narrated it's just mentioned and here it is but we don't take كلام الأقران I think it was مقدمة of أجرح والتعديل التحقيق العضحية المعلمة عريبين المديني said I don't take the criticism of أبو نعين فضل مدكين I don't take these two men I don't take their criticism عريبين المديني شيخ الإمام البقاري بقاري said I never belittled myself in the presence of anyone the way I belittled myself in the presence of عريبين المديني بقاري say this عريبين المديني said if a criticism comes to me from أبو نعين فضل مدكين I don't take the criticism عفاني المدكين there's two men there's two great imams by the way أبو نعين فضل مدكيني is the man who kicked يحمل المعينة on the chest and story الشيخ المقاري عريبين المديني get mentioned his reason why he doesn't want to take the criticism of who I don't take because they speak about everybody they criticize everybody I don't take the narration you know what really shocked me I even pointed it out my memory serves me right he said that you would struggle today to find the criticism of Allah when I found the criticism I got dismissed I got dismissed so you find people critiquing one another some people are like things happen personal issues might come one might be jealous of the other person this is common it does happen it's nothing new why don't see it from the 7th is the students go on one side and the other do we have that like Imam Muslim for example a student of Imam Bukhari do we have that situation between Bukhari and that Imam Imam Bukhari was wrongly treated he left he left the city where are you he asked Allah to take his life Imam Bukhari بحمد الله where are we today where are we today where are we today where are we today أبل حجاج المزي the author of this book أبل حجاج المزي أبل حجاج المزي أبل حجاج المزي في جامع لوما ويأتي بجامع لوما في ديبشقه سعق down to read it خلقوا افعال إباد اشاعر of that time they got a clue of that they spoke to the leader أبل حجاج المزي was put in the prison it was imprisoned who came in his defense after that was the rare situation بلوتيميا كانت جيدة مع المدينة ومدينة فهي جدت بحمد الله تعالى المنبل بلوتيميا ومع ذلك يقول بلوتيميا كانت جيدة مع المدينة لا أعلم أنه كان ربو يذهب إلى مدينة ما أعني بذلك هو ذلك كل مدينة ستجد بلوتيميا في المدينة لأنه من حوالي شخص يتبقون فيه على كل الشيخ الإسلام بلوتيميا هو يذهب إلى المدينة هو يذهب إلى المدينة ومدينة نحن نطلق بلوتيميا ومدينة في مدينة النقاط الذي أحاول أن أفعل هذا سيكون حقاً بأننا نجد أولاما فهي مشايا أولاما أهل السنة يكتبون بلوتيميا يعني قضية بين الشيخة للباني وشيخة للنباز وشيخة للصلاة وشيخة قضايا أمورها شيخ حمود للعبداله يتواجري في هذا الوقت أعلم أمامه when I first read the waghas of شيخة للباني أجيز حمود للعبداله يتواجري when I first read it I read the كتاب أراد المصحم I am my little brother, I will discuss in this issue and so what happened was I got the Ketab أراد المصحم of الامام الباني رحمه الله و تعالى و ديشه جلبا من القابة so what I did was I regained my head I'm like this حمود مع عبداله يتواجري لزمه تواجه الشيخ الناس who speak I thought he was an innovator and he is not from Ahlu Sunnah and he has not that's my belief until I went in and I found our شخمود عبداله يتواجري لزمه from Ahlu Sunnah I even read in the Ketab معلم في طريق طريق طلب عبداله يتواجري لزمه عبداله يتواجري لزمه that شق للباني would land in Riyadh and he would call what's his name الشيخ عبداله يتواجري imagine it wasn't personal but if you read the works it would seem that you believe there is no other explanation they argue on the issue of the record after the record when we get up he could teach me what are you going to do what are you going to do what are you going to do what are you going to do what you don't read what you don't see is two things the students of شيق للباني did not Pogatinize سماعيل الأنصاري you see مشهولي في سيد استمين سماعيل الأنصاري when I back and forth on the issue of the issue of ذهب المحلقة I back and forth against him and the students would go visit him they would stay with me you see my point there were many مشايخ like that الشيق للباني رحم الله وموقف حاش against them but they didn't force the students as they do I don't see this person as long as they are Salafi مشايخ by the way this is the condition من بداعيز على البداع بلا قيمة لهم we talk about Salafis we don't say these علماء and you are right we can discuss who is what or wrong in this situation to reach the haق but to be honest I don't see a lot of these brothers what they say about these Salafi مشايخ but they take out of Salafi sunnah أصول from the mental issues and I think what exactly is the issue in our time anyway is the advent of social media and you see some statements of social media and you don't know how many thousands of people are going to be reading that and then retweeting this what are some of the dangers that you can advise the people of you know even passing on information in the form of a retweet let alone typing it yourself and then spreading it on the internet against some of the noble scholars this issue of social media I want to make a series on it I just want to put out social media I want to mention a lot about it but it reminds me of an issue of معاوية بن أبي سفيان رضي الله when معاوية رضي الله عنه took over and the issue got into his hand like it was good عام الجماعة with the Muslims United حسن من عالي رضي الله معاوية بن أبي سفيان معاوية بن أبي سفيان عالي حسن من عالي you know he went to Sham and he gave معاوية a pledge of allegiance and he said look the matter is yours I don't want to cause any fitna amongst the Muslims anymore and the Prophet already prophesized that he said يصلح الله بي بينه في أتيني عضي من المسلمين that this my son here حسن الله is going to save through him two large groups of Muslims the Prophet referred to both parties as Muslims that's very important anyways that's what he did and after six months or so he went back that year when معاوية took over and خلافة was given to معاوية عبدالله بن عمرين his sister Hafsah came to him which is the wife of the Prophet and she's also the sister of عالي عبدالله بن عمر she said look معاوية is taking over and he's basically bringing holding high people together and telling people everything is my command if you missed this gathering it could be a problem go and sit there it shows you're united with them because people love you they see you as a companion of the Prophet they don't see you in the gathering so عبدالله بن عمرين went there he sat down when he sat down he listened معاوية said something which had a bit harsh statement معاوية he said something very harsh which I'm sure I can explain when I did my lecture on social media عبدالله بن عمرين the narration mentions a rope he tied on his legs and when you sit down just to keep your legs like that where we sometimes do like our legs like that he tied something on his leg he said in the narration he said I wanted to open it stand up and speak harsh to معاوية I wanted to say to him after معاوية said it was very harsh يعني sitting here are the people who brought you and your father into Islam with the sword we brought you guys into Islam they were sitting here when you didn't want to take Islam عبدالله بن عمرين عبدالله بن عمرين they completed both of them عبدالله بن عمر he didn't say it which is one of the biggest lessons you learn from it you might feel a certain way about something that was said by someone you see it on Twitter or you see it on Instagram or you see it on Facebook or any other social media everything you see you don't have to respond to it you have to have the wisdom and the understanding that because it causes خلاق it causes فقا it causes division even more don't do that be quiet remember that there's not a word that you utter or anything that you say is going to be you're going to be questioned for it and everything is going to be brought to you did you say it الله تعالى in the ayah صورة كفر الله تعالى the person says the date where the person's actions will be brought to them and it will be said to them this is all we did this is what you said this is it all of his deeds are right in front of you that day when you have to think about it it's when you write 20 times before it 50 times before it is it something I want to stand in front of الله يوم القيامة between your Allah there is not a true man translator some people they think what they write on social media that they harmed the person and the person is not gone what you say about him he's gone is your خصم يوم القيامة any other sheikh that you've spoken about you're going to have to you did it you didn't free yourself from that person's rights يوم القيامة you have to have an answer for this man just in case someone asks the hadith mentions anything that you say things that you write on social media that it counts as things that you say that you're going to be held accountable for what you write on social media and of course at the time they said that you said to one person now one tweet is like you've sent it to 100,000 people whoever it goes to it's very dangerous and now I do want this to be clear as well I'm not saying everyone's right and they're not they're right or wrongs somebody might be wrong without being a case you're not the fit person and as a person you don't have that knowledge to say who's right or wrong you're مقلد like you did if you want to I'm not saying you should have you don't take the lead of one in this issue and you take his opinion but the مقلد is not allowed to force his opinion onto other people okay so I want to take you back to the people maybe watching this and now they've gone through a journey where they've understood the value of knowledge the people of knowledge they want to now start seeking this knowledge and you mentioned at the start that the advice that you'd give them is to have high aspiration and to come with sincerity what about and I know you've done many series and many lectures on this and I'm sure people can search on our channel for lectures you've done in the past but the methodology that someone should take or the practical methodology that someone can take in the 21st century to seek knowledge you know these questions they're very beneficial but sometimes it gives the impression to the listeners and it gives sometimes even to the person who's talking that you know I've reached the end I've got knowledge and I want to continue guys this is how I did it this is how you guys can do it and that's not the case I myself admit and I put my hand up and I consider myself to be the lowest lowest of low when it comes to knowledge I haven't got much understanding of the deal but I'm only mentioning what I've read from the statements of the علامة what they said in their work so it's not my personal way and two things that are required from the person when it comes to seeking knowledge the first thing they say is that the person has to have characteristics that the student needs to adorn himself with there's qualities that you have to have اخلاص صبر if you're not patient you're not going to attain knowledge wherever you're trying to do if you don't have patience you're not going to attain anything يعني there's a hidden forbearance يعني صفق يعني that the person knows when he does seek knowledge يعني he doesn't mix up seeking knowledge with other things knowledge is big you have to give it full attention otherwise it's going to be very difficult you can't you know those are some of the qualities that you need to come with you can also act upon what you learnt because Allah this is الله's religion when he sees that you've acted upon what he's given you he's going to give you more سبحانه وتعالى also to take it يعني اتدرج يعني من أخذ العلمة جملة انفعتت وجملة if you try to ignore it all at once so these are some of the qualities that the person needs to adorn himself with now we go into the characteristics or the منهجية now the second part is the methodology to seek knowledge so this first one I mentioned which is a characteristic that you should come with is the one that a lot of us I myself included we kind of dismiss we push to the side and when we were thinking about seeking knowledge we just want to jump into the books and the teacher tells me about مسائل يعني that's not it's like that it reminds me if you know when people go to the gym your diet is such a big part of the gym but nobody cares about the diet they just want to pump the weights and think this is it it's like that yeah it's so true they say that a good outcome in the gym is made in the kitchen that's in the kitchen it's where you eat so yeah people don't want to take that step and again when you come to the gym and you see a guy who's big and strong who's got six packs on his ears you look at him and you start to think that's how I want to be so this is the guy I want to look like this if you ask the guy how long have you been 40 years 10 years 5 years and he started at the small section يعني طعم الكبار طعم الكبار صغر Then it started with the small 5 kg one and then he made his weight to the 30 kg لأمني خمسة I think he made herself and he looked around I don't want to sign up for this gym So I don't want to sign up with this gym and he said He said This is so big لم يكن لديه مجموعة ، لم يكن لديه لكنه بدأ من بعض المكان بدأ من بعض المكان لذا الشخص يجب أن يفهم أنه يوجد مستوى المستوى when it comes to seeking knowledge لا يمكنك فقط أن تفتح كتابة وكتابة من الشرطة أو أن تفتح كتابة وكتابة أنا سأفتح كتابة هذا is how some people see it يجب أن تبدأ من المطول يقول كتابة إذا كانت تفتح من المبارس المسيحة المسيحة أنت تفتح من المبارس المسيحة أعذر أن أتذكر في حياتي بعض المشايخ وعلم العالم بعضهم يجب أن يتفهم يجب أن يتفهم وفقاً بما يجب أن يأخذ المبارس المسيحة ومثلوقاً today نعتقد أنه يوجد مستوى المستوى يوجد كتابة وكتابة وكتابة أن هذا المستوى يوجد مستوى المستوى ويوجد لا يأخذ كثيراً أفضل المستوى وكتابة المستوى يفهم الأشياء المبارس المسيحة وكتابة أن بعض المشايخ يتحدث عن أشياء المبارس المسيحة وكتابة وكتابة ويوجد تفاق تلك المراعية الكتاب غض بريض أن فهم للغاية فهيคوت العالم الخاص عنها و like a way وعúng أن تحت에게 ن six ملمة أنك لا إلىي مقابل بالتدفع نسخة من خلال مقابل. really a book without Sheikh is like giving a person a new driver a key to describe a car The car is going to kill himself. He is going to hit a wall he is going to hit a wall If you want to learn how to drive first you have to take driving classes and then you learn how the car works. This is okay and this is how it works This is the steering wheel. This is how it works. There's a clutch. There's a brake هناك تصميم ، هناك مرور ، المنووض ، مرور ، ولكن لأي مرور ، يجب أن أعطيك أن أعطيك كل هذا إذا كنت تطلق إلى السيارة ، تقول أني أعطيك أفضل أعطيك ، I've got four legs, I've got four hands, I've got eyes, I've got ears, I can hear, this is the stereo, is this what they grab or can I grab it? هل تريد أن أعرف المساعدة من السيارة؟ هل تريد أن أعرف كيف تذهب عن الأشياء؟ نفس مع المساعدة ، ويأخذني أن الناس لا يجب أن تفهم ذلك نفس مع كل المساعدة ، ويأخذني أن هناك الكثير من المساعدة لذلك ، يجب أن تحاول أن تأخذ ذلك المساعدة المساعدة ، إن شاء الله كعاله ، لدينا أشخاص بشكل كبير في المساعدة المساعدة التي يجب أن نضعها أيضاً في الفيديو that we've done في هذا المساعدة ، مع المساعدة المساعدة ، لدس أمتع العلم هناك مدينة ملعقة التي كانت تمحكة على المساعدة أردت قumpna to people that we'll follow in the future إن شاء الله أم التيجة التي في إعجابة أنك تكول about the road being long هي أمتع الجزء المبشر بالشكل اللوانيا قمنا بتكول أن لكنها إذن لم تضعها لأ energy و أنها تبدو بحق للمساعدة لكنني أعلم أن المساعدة might be struggling at this moment And even over the years of my life ، سبحانه الله لأ I've never learned anything I thought I would be able to learn. This is not for me. And I came back to it and read about it. Studied it. Learned it. You asked them questions. And finally, you know, became a bit good about it a little bit. A little bit good. And so don't ever bil게 to your own efforts. And don't ever think to yourself that I can't do this. Yeah. I mean I can't struggle. هذا رائع سيكون جيده يحصل على المشارك ، أهل أنني اطفالك أعتقد أنه مجتمع يمكنك العمل فجمع كلمة فجمع كم تذهبي إلى المكنات وني أعلم أنه مجمو unbelievable لا أ غير قادر لكن عندما أنت تذهب إلى المكنات لكن عندما تذهب إلى المكنات وكما رأيتك وكما رأيتك وكما رأيتك ستكون جلت وكما رأيتك وكما رأيتك وبحيث أن تذهب في الحديث وتبقى للعمل ونذهب في المنزل إلى المنزل again وعمل مجموعة من أحدكم ونحتاج الموضوع ونجد فقط تفعله هذا هو الشيء الذي يبدأ بالنسبة to him أنت تفعله كثيرا ونجد فعله لن أرى أي مجموعة لا تقلق تذهب تذهب تتفعله أحد أحد أحد أحد أتعلم؟ أتذكر أحد أحد أحد كرآن كنت تذهب إلى موضوعين ، فأنت تنسى أن لا يوجد رجال في حالك ، وأعرفون ذلك الارباكي فأخذ ماعره ، ألتفع العام الأخرى ، إضافة أعلوه في الفيديو ، أو تسمعه فيه في كل مكان يأتي ، أعشى أربيك في حالك ، أعشى أربيك ، أعشى أربيك ، أعشى أربيك ، وقاله ، أعتقد أنه قد قد قد قد قد قد يتحدث وقاله ، أعرف أنه قد قد قد قد يفعله بالطبع ، دوما ينظر مقرب لسع مخيمات يشعرون أنهم لا يرون العمال علىهم. لذا يجب أن يكون هناك بعض الأطفال. لكن هذا هو شيء مباشر. لأنك تستطيع أن ترونه ويجب أن ترونه في يوم. أنت لا يرون العمال الذي تجعله. لكنه يبدو أن يجب أن ترونه إلى الجن. أكثر من المثال، أحمد الله، أصبحت أخبارنا مع أبا. أخبارنا مع أبا عندما كانت بأخبارنا. وقد أرأتها ثلاثة أخرى. أنها تغييرت كثيرا. ولكننا نرى أنها يبدو أنها يبدو أنها العمال. عندما تحمل الهارالة المفتاحكه يربوعهم ثلاث سنوات عندما تحمل الهارالة المفتاحكهFor him is just every day he sees himself that he doesn't really realize that he's actually making a lot of progress and I think a lot of people seeking knowledge or it kind of makes them give up they think I'm not getting anywhere but they actually are another thing I realize why a lot of people stop seeking knowledge is because and that's why I said at the beginning sincerity we're in a world today where if I do a little bit I want أحتاج الناس لكي يتجمعها و أحتاج الناس لتقول مرحبا في حالة التقنية أقوم بعمل شيء جداً أريد أن أشارك مع العالم و أريد الناس لكي أردأ أنا مبذل معك لو الشخص لا تقول ذلك لأني أو أنني لم أستطيع أن أجد بها في الأن الملاحقات أماماً لو شقول ذلك لأني أتوقع و أتعيد و لا أريد And so over time, Your benchmark becomes the people. Where they like it, you do it. If they don't like it, You don't do it. And so you don't live your life According to what is right. When you have been doing what it's right And say away from what is wrong. You don't. Your life becomes my followers, They want me to do this Rong my friend. They are like that. So everything that you're doing. حتى لدت من الناس و العودة إلى الله سهل، سأفعل بإمكانك الغطاء مع بعض المشايخ حيث انه كان مجمعاً بكردسز و كانوا سوى سيغيارك ليست قد توقفهم تنسي건 المعرفة بميسون ، when you think yourself أن شخصاً يجب Busy و الله يشغل مجرد المفهول و يتساعد المدينة من اللعنة فهذا من بخاري فهذا المقرر كي يحدد من شخص كيف يحدد من خصوص لأ جميعاً يجب أن يتح QR التعديل على البحر الذي يتحك超ب من التكدة فهي أصدقائه وصدقائه another example أليمان سيبويه رحم الله و تعالى سيبويه and he died at the age of 32-33 and he died because of a fitna that happened to him it was a cause of a fitna he became very sad and depressed because of a fitna he went back to his he left Iraq he left Iraq and he said I want to be here he went and he went to his land Persia when he went there they said he stayed in his house and he didn't come out سيبويه سيبويه when we say his nameless sometimes it's not why you're alive it's 20 years 30 years 40 years people are still going to remember you with خير they make dua for you you're not doing it because you want people to remember you yes you do want people to make dua for you سيبويه رحم الله that's what I definitely want 50 years from my entire life now 100 years of people that I'm saying may Allah have mercy upon Abdul-Rahman that's all I want it makes me happy when someone says half of the whole law and it's something to be really happy with and Subhamma maybe is and I believe it is those dua that the people are made for you is what I believe Allah protects me too 32 he died and then in his house and he stood in أخفش said شخ you know you've written a book you haven't finished it but just give it to me took the book from him and see what he did at last he died after that he took that book he brought it to the Muslims in the world and this Kitab became يعني you know what's called it's called Al-Kidab والله it goes to a Nahu if you read Al-Kidab the book let's see what's Kitab and that is can we say that's an indication of his خلاص the fact that Allah Allah gave him قبول on this earth لشق لشق so it's one of those things that you think about seeking knowledge is from the outer you really never know who's getting the most reward you might have someone who's memorised the whole Qur'an but another one who's struggling every single day but because he's more sincere he gets more reward than that than the other one who's not sincere because you know the Kitab there's 42 Hadiths yeah there's great scholars who wrote it before and after Nahu 42 42 Hadiths in this topic yeah I remember Al-Judri has a Kitab in 42 Hadiths yeah and Imam Nahu has 42 Hadiths I always ask myself and I'll be honest with you the 42 Hadiths that Nahu wrote seems like an easy job nothing's easy from one perspective it doesn't because he had to pick جوامع and kill him but from the other works that Nahu has done this one's very small sure and it's a doable work to be honest if you see it you can do this it's a very easy work why did Allah give his one acceptance it's where you ask yourself why why why this work I go to this مرقز it's called مرقز المجد in UAE okay and I take manuscripts from it and stuff like that in some of these books when I get the manuscripts and I'm looking at the manuscripts what I see is works that when you read the manuscripts it's very very hard and it's very very hard to read the manuscript this Imam wrote it and he left it somewhere not knowing that it was happening خلاف has came and went but the land's got destroyed but the manuscript remained that manuscript somewhere alright and now centuries later in UK Canada America people have mentioned Imam on electronic libraries I'm carrying on my iPad the book of this great Imam and he who would have thought that he would have even been saved it reminds me of the Prophet ﷺ that when you die three things remain one of them being and one of them knowledge for people's benefit so if that isn't like an indication of how important how much this could be doing for someone's day of judgment and it's one of those things in the Dino of Islam where at whatever stage you are in your journey of seeking knowledge you're getting rewards whether you're learning you're getting reward for learning as long as obviously you're sincere when you're implementing the knowledge you've learned you get rewarded for that when you're teaching the people you get rewarded for that and that gets carried gets carried until who knows many generations later you're still getting rewards because of that one powerful statement I recently came across I'm starting to teach كتاب شمائل محمدي now and a powerful statement which is if you were prevented from seeing the Prophet ﷺ in your dream then do not be prevented from seeing him by reading his by his appearance and his features and the way he looks if you couldn't see him in his sleep at least see him while you're awake but by reading his features and the way he looked that is knowledge you can always see the Prophet ﷺ there many of us wish we wish we would be companions and around them by some just also you have the opportunity might not be the way they did it but you have the opportunity still I was taken back by narrations mentioned I was like how how they mentioned his beard was less than 20 the white hair in his beard was less than 20 and another narration mentions 17 or 18 well that precise that precise so you can see how he looks by just studying his Shama'il yeah ﷺ knowledge makes you live with the Sahabas you can live with the Prophet imagine that and there you are you've seen him by just studying this knowledge gaining knowledge in this matter الله make us from the people of knowledge unless there's anything that you want to add to close up any summary or anything I think I think Insha'Allah we hope that people have found this beneficial سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهدوا الله إلا إلا أستغفوا لك وأتوبوا إليك
