 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ آيَاتُهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَى فَالْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُهُ وَشَدُؤَ اللَّهِ الْلَهِ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَشَدُؤَ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَّا بَعَدًا ثاني شاء الله وطعاله أخبرت عن الثالث point which is أولاً في الثلاثة الممارسة أسرعاً في الثلاثة الممارسة أخبرت عن الثلاثة الممارسة أخبرت عن حفظ which has been lost when the person sits down and they memorize something word for word they memorize it what? word for word they sit down they go home they read, read, read, read until they memorize it let nothing drops like we memorize the Qur'an and the way that we memorize a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ there is a second type of حفظ memorization which we call الحفظ بالسطلحال where is that the person didn't intend to memorize but because of this person's excessive reading and they're going over books and this hadith keeps coming about keeps coming about you've been seeing it so much you've been seeing the statement of the scholar so much you've been seeing this ruling so much and now it's just kind of stuck with you but you may not have it word for word but you have 80% of the wording or you have 70% of the wording with you but some parts of it is not with you this is now a type of حفظ as well that occurs we spoke about that then we moved them to the third thing that will help you and aid you if you want to be precise in seeking knowledge is that you don't move from one stage to another stage you don't move from one method to another method nowadays students of knowledge they get excited they see a book as they're reading a method with a شيخ they're reading a method with a شيخ so they see a new method come out or they see another scholar praise a method so what do they do they leave the one that is studying they go to that method they go to that text that book so they keep moving from book to book and each book if you ask them they've done maybe half of the book so if they're half in this book half in this book half of this half of this and they have no book complete so a person shouldn't do that and also if you haven't grounded yourself in the book before don't move on to the second book unless you fully understand the first book that's very important now insha'Allah today we're going to go to the fourth thing that will help you fourth thing that will allow you to be precise it will allow you to be accurate and strong in attaining and gaining knowledge and that is you choose a comprehensive book في كل فنن in every subject يقول مرجع الفل بابي this is very powerful this one is very important every single subject and every single topic what you have is a كتاب which is جامع what does it mean كتاب which is جامع a very comprehensive book this book is for you as an individual a book that you go back to in all of that issue of that field you go back to that kitab for instance توحيد توحيد I won't always go back to نواقظ الإسلام or قواعد الأربعة كشف الشبهاتر there's no need I have one book personally if I want to go to a mess element related to توحيد everything I've ever studied on توحيد and everything I've ever learnt on توحيد I personally placed in one book on the site on the notes I've summarized it I've re-reaffirmed for it this is the book I've put all my efforts in so whenever I'm asked can you explain a توحيد book I'm not going to bring a random book I've got this book all the معلومات all of the information is in there for me which is فتح المجيد which is a شرح of كتاب توحيد it's a مرجع for me it's a what it's a reference point this is the book I go back to this is where every single thing I would need as a student of knowledge should be in for me as a student should have that and this happens brothers once you've already done the program you started with نواقر الإسلام then you did قواعد الأربعة then you did ثلاثة أصول then you did كتاب توحيد once you've done كتاب توحيد and you've done the شرح of عبدالرحماري بن حسن محمد بن عبدالوحاب مزوغران سلام عبدالوحاب it's a شرح of كتاب توحيد you do his شرح of كتاب توحيد after the وضوان الشيخ بن عثيم وضوان الشيخ بن عثيم it simplifies it's قول المفيد لا كتاب عبدالوحباري بن حسن فتح المجيد is the one you place the شرح of نواقر الإسلام the شرح of قواعد الأربعة كشف الشبوهات يا فتح المجيد it's on there for you this book is now مرجع it's a reference point for you in توحيد anything related to توحيد related to what التوحيد it's فتح المجيد for you it's a very comprehensive book some scholars some other طلاب العلم they made كتاب الرد على البكر ما شيخو الإسلام تينيا that مرجع توحيد some people they chose الرد على البكر about the book known as كتاب الإستغاثة ما شيخو الإسلام تينيا they made that book their marj in توحيد it's your choice whichever one you like I find فتح المجيد very comprehensive are we all together then the person does that for the other subjects like عكيدة and you know there's a difference between توحيد and عكيدة right so the person when he comes to توحيد he has فتح المجيد and when he comes to عكيدة he's got the شرح of which is عكيدة طحاوية the شرح of عكيدة طحاوية by إبن أبيل is gonna be your reference point for عكيدة now okay عكيدة that's your reference point that is what that is your reference point you go back to that you look at that you ponder and you you get everything from there some other I personally like دع كتام the شرح of إبن أبيل عز الحنفي and if somebody really masters the عكيدة طحاوية understand word for word what the شرح is saying explain it not the shmatan not the text because you've done the text before by that time the شرح of إبن أبيل عز الحنفي if you understand it properly and you know what he's saying any عكيدة book that's given to you whatever it may be if you've never in your life seen it you can explain it the شرح of إبن أبيل عز الحنفي you take it from there you take that شرح and you apply it whether it be شرح of الإمام الموزن كتاب شرح السنة whether it be كتاب صريح السنة بايمل الجنين الطبري whether it even be the كتاب قوام السنة's كتاب بقاصمة تايمة رحمة الله الحجة في بياني للحجة whichever عز الحنفي and you can explain it you don't have to say I've never seen this book before I can't teach it I don't know it you don't need to do every single book you have one كتاب which is a what it's a marj it's a reference point for you that's some students some they prefer not to do إبن أبيل عز الحنفي شرح كتاب so what do they use they use مختصر الصواعك المرسلة مختصر الصواعك المرسلة by who با إبن القيم الجوزية they make دعقي the book their reference some like that so they use it they go back to that they reference it also you do the same with فق in فق you have a كتاب where it's going to be a reference point for you if the person is a حنبلي I can't speak for شافعي ماليكية ولا حرفية لكن حلابلا their reference point would be روض المربع by بوهوتي رحمه الله that is a reference point for a person who is studying حنبلي ماليكية they will get روض المربع by بوهوتي and that's the book they will use as a reference point or some may even add on to the حاشية of إبن القاسم on the روض المربع لكن عند شافعية is what what's the reference point مستكتاب some say it is منهج by نووي some say it's منهج and some say it's إرشاد those are the two books لكن the منهج of نووي is enough if you take the منهج of رمام النووي ومدهب شافعي and you make that your reference point you make that your مرجع with the شروح and explanations you placed on it it's a good book to go back to whichever كتاب within the شافعية مدهب وعودة الناس whether it will be مثل بي شجاع whether it will be any كتاب زمان لبن رسلان يا قوت النفيذ whichever كتاب it may be the منهج will suffice you it will give you a good مرجع now you come to أصول الفق you come back you come to you come to the أصول الفق and you want to make a reference point in the أصول الفق أصول الفق the روضة النظر وجنة المنظر the روضة النظر وجنة المنظر is written by ابن قدامة المقدسي ابن قدامة روضة this book and the كتاب روضة النظر وجنة المنظر is actually a summary of the مصطصفة رتب أبحمد الغزالي أبحمد الغزالي is from the متكلمين is from the أشعرية and you spoke about some matters pertaining to the أصول الفق whereas الإمام ابن قدامة رحمة الله came after him and he took out the كلامي discussions that he brought into أصول الفق which are not part of it so the كتاب روضة وجنة المنظر if you made that book your مرجع if you made that your reference point you bring all of the information onto that book that's good in أصول الفق some scholars they مختصر مختصر التحرير با يعملوا لنجار they bring all of that onto that book and so they say this is the reference point for us there's differences that people choose تفسير تفسير تفسير مكثير تفسير مكثير تفسير مكثير and when they take تفسير مكثير they make تفسير مكثير their reference point so every تفسير that they take they bring their تفسير مكثير they write on the side you put the benefit all on تفسير مكثير and you make that your مرجع so wherever you go you've got تفسير مكثير with you as a reference point then this is something amazing ولي ذلك سمضوا علام معك like عزيز مبازر others they were close to memorizing تفسير مكثير the way they used to read it مبازر رحمه الله مثلاً هل استحضاروا تفسير مكثير now he used to sometimes read word for word paragraphs sentences words he would just bring out عزيز مكثير رحمه الله as it was the reason is because he would use this as his margin مكثير ولي ذلك it was said that it was said that عبد عزيز مكثير if he traveled from the books that he would take with him and the people would read on him excessively was بلو المرام تفسير مكثير that's what they said to him those are the two books that مكثير would be taken with him and the person who is in with him with him on the vehicle بلو المرام ان تفسير مكثير بلو المرام because it helps the to do and if you look at شيخ رحمه الله تعالى he even says when he does he's fatawa if you listen to it رواه الاربع the full narrated it who is this إبن حجر بلو المرام the full narrated it this is a term coined by إبن حجر بلو المرام even when he weakens a hadith إبن باز uses the weakening of أن تفصيره أن أمام البغوية رحمه الله و أن أمام البغوية تفصير is a summary of تعالبي's تفصير يجب أن يأخذ المستخدمين و المستخدمين و بغوية رحمه الله تعالى السمرايز يقول المعالم التنزيل بغوية تفصير is also a book that can be a what a merger if you want to بغوية تفصير and some take تفصير الكثير but the most common is one is تفصير الكثير now we go to the Arabic language the person studies aajrumiya then after they finish aajrumiya they go for متميمة الأجرumiya and they go for قطر الندى و البلغ الصدارة then the person does the أفعال then the person goes for الفير تبريباليك and when the person finishes الفير تبريباليك then they go for مغني اللبيب after all of that the person can't be reading all of those books regularly from beginning to end from beginning to end what do they do they have one book again as a reference point one book is in language it will be the شرحة في من عقيل on الفير تبريباليك the الفير تبريباليك by the way is called الخلاصة that's the name that the author gave it خلاصة it's a summary see that's the name of the book it's a خلاصة we just call it الفير تبريباليك because it's a thousand lines it's a thousand lines and it is what it's a thousand lines and it's written by ابلي ماليك رحمه الله this book when it's profound and it's great and it's a past generally speaking all of the books that came before it even he himself says it فائقة الفير تبريباليك وهو بسبق الحائز التفضيلة مستوجب ثلائية الجميلة so he's الفير الفير تبريباليك is a خلاصة a summary summary in what grammar if you take the the شرحة that was placed on it by ابلي عقيل and you make that the reference point in the language that's very good شرحة بالعقيل is the book you with the تحقيق and the حاشية and the point and the commentary of محمد المحيدي عبد الحميد that's very good we go now to مصطلح الحديث we go to مصطلح الحديث science of hadith science of hadith there are many books take with you two books you can't separate them for each other these are your مرجع in مصطلح الحديث this is your reference point this is the كتاب which is the comprehensive book that you go back to the two books the first one is فتح المغيث which is a شرحة it's a شرحة التبصيرة والتذكرة by Zainudin العراقي which is known as which is known as الفيية العراقي the كتاب الفيية العراقي عراقي is who عراقي is the teacher of who إبن حجر رحمة الله and who is the one who authored شرحة of the book of الفيية العراقي Zainudin العراقي is the student of إبن حجر إبن حجر student place an explanation on his teacher's teacher شمس الدين السخاوي رحمة الله so you get that book فتح المغيث you buy that book this book is a summary this book teaches you what brothers like him it teaches you it teaches you the theoretical side of signs of Hadith تخرج sorry it teaches you what does it mean when the scholars they say it's مونقاطع when they say it's مؤمن when they say it's مستخرج when they say على شرط البخاري على شرطه ما what do they mean by this these terms what do they actually mean that's why it's called مصطلح مصطلح means what terms that were coined by the scholars of Hadith what do they mean by it صح once the person finished studying that book فتح المغيث they would need an application application is vital it's not enough that you just know it theoretically so when you go towards brothers you go through to شرع الان ترميدي by إبن راجب الحملي شرع الان ترميدي by إبن راجب الحملي is a kitab that will give you the ability to all that theory that you learnt to be able to apply it this will be a merger for you it will be a reference point for you how to apply what you theoretically learnt now we go to شرع الان ترميدي the books that explain the books of Hadith شرع الان ترميدي books that are common trees on books of Hadith I can't read all of the شرع الان out there I can't, they're too much they're large in number so is there one or two books that I can stick to that if I understood those books I would able to understand the other books نعم the person should give importance to the kitab written by فطارب العلم at the beginning level gives importance to by he does he stands over that book he exerts effort in it that's good if the person has more aspiration he does he wants to really go in he wants a big شرع that he can hold onto that he can use for إلا إيرث الله والأرض و والعالية that this is the book he can hold onto forever he won't live forever but as long as he lives a book that he can hold onto I definitely would say it has to be فتح الباري by ورحمة الله this kitab is gold okay فتح الباري with it if you have the شرع of those two books بخار الشرح of Imam Bin Hajar رحمة الله and you have the شرح of النووي on Muslim those two شرح gives you the explanation of the two most authentic books okay what do you do as I said before that doesn't mean that you don't look at عول المعمود that you don't look at تحفة الحودي you don't look at the other on the other the other four remaining books now what you've done is you've placed all of the other books that you studied the شروح and explanation that are on it you've taken it فتح الباري so on the top of your فتح الباري in the pages little books that you've made for it all of it is on the فتح الباري for you you bring all of the benefits of books on this this is what it is for a student of knowledge but it's for life you do that this point especially اختيار وكتاب جابع choosing a very comprehensive book في كل فنني all of the subjects which is a reference point for you you're gonna be what you're gonna be a very strong strong stream of knowledge and every time you're ready you're ready whenever it may be as you know brothers books are coming out sometimes Muslims are seeing books that it thought was from the lost books we basically thought this book was مفقود we don't have it anymore we've lost it in these books when the تتار came to the Muslim country it got destroyed some scholars believe that and then the book is found some of its pages are found because it's actually the book when it gets found it gets published once it gets published explanation is put on it once an explanation is put on it you're gonna say I've never studied this book are we together? you wouldn't need to say that because you've already got a margin in that particular field so you can go because remember the knowledge is very limited very what? it's limited there is sometimes deep power but you've got a good base maybe you might have to see a new book and then make your money look the reference point that you have it's not like it's gonna stay like that forever it's also gonna grow every time you add extra things into it it's becoming bigger and bigger and this is very good for a stern knowledge it saves your reading it saves your reading and it also allows you to always remember as a person what you've learnt it allows you to remember it quickly instead of saying well I have studied all of that I don't know I don't know teachers I don't know it would benefit you not to say that and you'd be very strong in that particular I left one book in one field which is the Kitab I didn't mention all of the subjects by the way I never mentioned قواعد الفقية I didn't mention other subjects like that I didn't mention it but قواعد الفقية if a person of knowledge he takes the قواعد by ابن راجع بالحملي the قواعد written by ابن راجع بالحملي or he takes the قواعد written by العلاء الكي كلدي رحمه الله especially if you're شافعي you go towards العلاء الكي كلدي if you're a hamburger generally you go for the قواعد written by ابن راجع بالحملي if you make those مرجع if you make that your reference point that's amazing قواعد الفقية now I'm going to move insha'Allah I'll do anything that will allow you to be solid and strong and speaking knowledge that's brothers they strive to revise with whom about out English with your colleagues and your friends students they practice try to revise with the students your brother who's in class with you or someone who's studying with you and discussing issues and also competing يجب أن تقوم with one another. what do you do? you compete with one another in memorization. it's very important. أخوة مذاكرة يجب أن يقوم with a lot of importance. let's look at some of the kanam of the علامة رحمة الله. أمام الداريم رحمه الله. in his sunan, he's got a sunan. داريم is wrote in the sunan of the book. he placed inside it a chapter where he called it باب مذاكرة العلم. the chapter of revising knowledge. he saw it very important. so he called it باب مذاكرة العلم. and under there he mentioned a thar from the salaf, statements of the salaf and quotes from the salaf. how important it is to revise. let's mention some of them. أبي سعيد للخدري رضي الله تعالى عنه. you know a great noble companion. he said تذاكروا. revise فإن الحديثة. for verily the hadith of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. it is revived through revision. go and revise. what gives life to and brings back. حديث is revision. somebody forgets. another person reminds you. الله أكبر. and they remember it. also يولسر رحمه الله. he said كنا نأتي الحسن. he said we would come to حسن البصري رحمه الله. فإذا خرجنا من عنده. when we would leave him. when he would come to him. we would take hadiths from him. and when we stood up to leave him. we wouldn't just go home. we wouldn't just go home. what would we do? تذاكرنا بيننا. we would sit down and revise amongst ourselves. what did you understand? what did he say? what did you remember him saying? we revise. everybody would write what the other person said. sometimes there are things that you didn't understand. another person in the class understood it better than you do. if you go to that person. he may be able to even explain it to you better sometimes. than the teacher himself. so you sit with your friends. and the person of the people that you're starting with. محمد يبنو فضيل. عنابيه رحمه الله. he said كنا الحارث يبنو يزيد. حارث يبنو يزيد. عنابنو شبر الله. عنابنو القاقاء. I said القاقاء يبنو يزيد. المغيرة. all of them. إذا صلوا. if they prayed العشاء. if they prayed عشاء. جلسوا في الفق. they would sit together in the fiq. فلا بيفرح بينهم. nothing would divide them إلا أدان الصبحي. except the subah. فجر أدان. they would sit after عشاء. and revise. فيما بينهم amongst them. these are the great الحارث يبنو يزيد. قاقاء. المغيرة يبنو يزيد. and others. يزيد المغيرة. this is powerful. so a student of knowledge should do that. ألم عام محمد بشهر بزولي from صغار التابعينة. he said أفت العلم النسيان. one of the harms that knowledge is afflicted with is النسيان. to forget. to be a forgetful person وتركي المداقرة. and to leave of what? and to leave of revision. and to leave of what? leave of religion. it's one of the things that harms knowledge. it takes away from you. all that which you learned and all that which you studied is going to benefit you if you forgot it. you and the one who's never studied are both the same. and leaving of revision. revision is what brings back the memory. also سعيد من عبد العزيز was he was scolding and shouting at the students of ألمام الأوزاعي. ألمام أهلي الشام. he was scolding and shouting at the students of ألمام الأوزاعي. he said to them ما لكم لا تتشنمعونة؟ why is it that you don't come together? ما لكم لا تتذكرونة؟ why is it that you don't revise together? he's telling them off. and then they made it part of their life to revise. so revision brothers helps. that you sit with the brothers. you sit with them. you discuss with them. you debate topics together. because remember you're all together. so you debate it. and you sometimes come out with good questions. once you've revised something and you've debated and you've discussed this issue very well. a question pops up. none of you guys can answer it. write it down. let's ask the teacher. let's what? let's ask the teacher. write it for us. that's a good question. we didn't look at it. you bring the question. you get an answer for it. so your knowledge increases in that regard. it's very important. مراجع brothers strength is not only the understanding but also the memory as well. the memorization. it also what? it also opens it. the sixth thing that will help brothers is العناية بالقراءة المنظمة. brothers give importance to reading but in an organized manner. you have a methodology in the way you read. this is the sixth thing that will help you. having a methodological approach in reading. you follow a manhage which is صحيحة a correct methodology في ختيار الكتب in how you choose the books. وَتَدْوِيلِ فَوَا إِدِهَاَ and you have a methodology of how you extract benefits from books. you have a methodology. you also have a methodology in which you follow when you write the content pages for books and when you summarize books. it's a methodology you follow. you don't just jump on a book and just do it. it's a methodology that you have that you follow. this is prescribed by a teacher. the person asks the teacher. the topic of reading إن شاء الله تعالى I think we should make it one time by itself. the book and the student the relation between the two of them. but now we will just mention that the reading is two times. اقراع a type of reading where the student of knowledge is trying to deeply understand this book. he is reading it تأني what تروي. he is trying to read it calmly collectively observe it it's taking his time he might spend on this book weeks months he might be on this book. the purposes that he wants to understand them word for word the second type of reading is called جراع السريع a fast type of reading where the person is going over the book very fast. this now is انه يكون هناك مختلفة و when the person does that they go over a book quickly they look at it this book is just a book it's just mere reading and taking it information and a student needs to have that as well there are some books you read fast and you do it very very fast but there also has to be books that you read with the purpose and the aim of what of taking in this information you want to take benefit from this book you always brothers have to have a little book where you read it, you're reading a book some fare either comes, a benefit comes you write it the way that I think students should look at benefits is as follows when you're reading a book and you come across a benefit take that particular benefit that you came across and what you do brothers you have a book in your house where you write benefits in you've made headings for every point as you're reading you're going to come across something going to be like سبحانه وتعالى السفائدة take it and put it under the benefit the chapter that you made that benefit for a long couple of years ago does that make sense let's say you're talking about اخلاص the benefits of اخلاص so you're reading really really really you come across a statement of a sahabi or you come across a statement of a tabi or something on the issue which you never heard of before you run you go to your book you add onto it the statement you come across when you call it a فائدة in the same book that you're reading the next page you come across a benefit pertaining to what a benefiting pertaining to let's say stay طول الامن you know not seeing this world as the ultimate goal and not having your heart connected to it you take it and what do you do brothers you've got a book where you've you've made headings for it everything just goes under it like that sometimes brothers that book can be for you محاضرات خطب تروس it can be everything for you if you do choose to die it can be made into a فائدة benefits people just take it سبحانه وتعالى so you have that it's out ho is for where it is booked for benefits that you write in it you give it a name you go back to it you keep putting things in there you go back to your reading you what you call you go back to your reading and etc the person should have that methodology so what do we think what do we take from that brothers that when you're reading you need to have a pen reading just like this you can't read it so you can't read it with no pen it's not right it has to be a pen next to it when you're writing when you're reading the book where you're always just going to write a benefit this point should the pen be different colors I definitely believe it should be personally I wouldn't I don't like one color I like different colors so you mentioned you make different colors for different things this is your choice whatever color you want to color see you have to have a methodology though that you follow when it comes to writing benefits number seven number seven is انحص على ارجاع فروع الى اصولها you give importance brothers in bringing matters which are disputed you bring it back to its foundation school is differ on issues you don't just look at the difference of opinion you look at why they differed very important you try to go back to the fundamental reason of why the difference occurred I'll give you an example الله says in the Qur'an فا بعثوا حكما من اهليه وحكما من اهليها الله tells us in the Qur'an that when a man and a wife dispute one another okay if the husband and the wife they dispute one another is is the حكم the arbitrary that's between the wife and the husband is his rulings because he listens to what the wife الله says first of all if the two wife and the husband dispute one another الله says فا بعثوا حكما من اهليه وحكما من اهليها so when you replace replace a judge from the woman side and from the man side they are now going to come to a conclusion both of them are going to meet are we together they are both what they are both going to discuss this issue from the husband and his representative they are going to listen to they're going to talk to each other the matter is now being uplifted from the two spouse because they couldn't get to terms with each other now the question here is now you are a couple حكما من اهليه وحكما من اهليها pay attention to this when the two حكم come together the فقاها differed is the statement that comes from both of them the judgment that they pass is it ملزم is it obligated for the spouse to follow it does that make sense is it obligated does it have to be followed or does it not have to be followed are they just suggesting something or is their judgment now becomes obligatory it has to be followed there's no way out of it فقاها different now you might say why were they there for the first this is what you would say probably okay when you look at the issue you'd say if they were brought then it should be followed right that's what you'd say but you don't understand theصل of the خلاف you don't understand the reason why they are differing on this issue you're just looking at a فرع issue you're just looking at the dispute and what it is but you don't know where it's coming from the dispute really comes back from this is the منشأ الخلاف this is the foundation of the dispute which is what is the arbitrary the speaker on behalf of the spouse are they حاكمز as you like are they both حاكمز and they are being given this job by a حاكم اي قادي or something or they are the وكيل are the representatives only that they're just representing someone but they don't have the final say which of those are they لانا the difference between the مفتي and the قادي is that you guys know the difference between the مفتي and the قادي what is the difference between the مفتي and the قادي more than that the قادي has to be followed if the قادي say something it's obligatory it has to be done the مفتي like the one who's given فتوة he's just mentioned in the opinion you might look at him and say I don't agree with him and you can go also the difference between the two of them is that the قادي has to listen to both sides the مفتي doesn't have to listen to both sides the مفتي can be asked a قادي because he's given a judgment now what does he say I have to hear both sides I can't just give judgment based on one side where's the other person why they're not here because he's has exam on it doesn't make sense so the person who is the arbitrary between the husband and the wife are they speaking on behalf of the قادي meaning the قادي is giving them the authority and said to them look you say why would you speak on my behalf that's it or are they just representing him but he's got the final say the قادي and the حاكم has the final say does that make sense this is the منشأ الخلاف okay so you have to learn this that when the dispute occurs what is the actual خلاف for example رؤية الحلال you رمضان is coming now this is a more practical example رمضان is going to come now when رمضان comes the dispute is going to be about the sighting of the moon okay the sighting of the moon the question the فقاها differ upon is the dispute amongst the فقاها that if a person sees the حلال a person goes and sees the crescent he sees the حلال alone does he fast or does he not fast he saw it does he fast or does he not fast from the scholars are those who said that if he sees the crescent if he sites the moon he has to fast even if the other people haven't fasted another group of scholars they say لا لا يصوم حتى يصوم شخص he can't fast unless the people fast he has to fast with the people هذا خلاف، right؟ هذا خلاف الأمر. The question you need to ask yourself is What's the man Sha'ul Khilaf? This is a far'u issue. Bring it back to its usal. Bring it to its foundation. What is the fundamental reason why the dispute has occurred? Are we together brothers? What's the dispute? The dispute is actually what is meant by a Hilal. Are we together brothers? Some of the Ulama they say The Hilal is something that everyone has to see. That's what Hilal means. Are we together? To them, Hilal means مشtahara that which is common and famous and everyone can see. If it's not seen by everyone, it's not a Hilal. Does that make sense? And another one believes That the Hilal is not necessarily what everyone sees. So the man Sha'ul Khilaf is based upon what's a Hilal and what's not. Are we all together brothers? And etc. So we have to try to bring every messiah in which I've disputed as a طارب علم. What's the man Sha'ul Khilaf? What's the fundamental reason of it? This will help you a lot. You know why it will help you a lot? Because as a student of knowledge, you don't have a lot of time to waste your time on some branches. You always want to know the foundation. Because to know the fundamentals in the foundation is greater for you than anything else. Point number 8. That will help you become grounded in attaining knowledge. And that is it is تجنب الإغراب والتبني الأقوال الشادة والغريبة الخارجة عن المشتهر من الفتوة. It is to stay away from. It is to avoid building our using, our coming with strange opinions. Opinions that are غريب. أقوال which are shad fringe statements. Stay away from them. Those types of fatwa and views which are what الخارجة من المشتهر. That's outside the realm of what. That which is famous, that's common. In America, at this particular time that we live, there are some people who are known only to do what تتبع أقوال الشادة. All they do is follow أقوال الشادة. All they bring together is statements which are strange, shad, fringe statements. They can bring that to you. عبد الرحبان من المهدي who said لا يقول إما من. A person is not an Imam. فالعلمي in knowledge. من أخد بشاده من العلمي. The one who takes strange opinions. The one who takes strange opinions. And he makes it his religion. And he bases his what? His belief upon. That person never an Imam. You know why? Because let's say this strange opinion came from ميمام محمد. Or ميمام مشاكري. Or ميمام مالك. Or ميمام محريفا. When it came from them, the overwhelming majority of the times they're in line with the علماء. But this one particular situation or these couple of times they came with أقوال الشادة. What you did was though, you made your religion majority of it based on أقوال الشادة. Whose madham is that then? Does that make sense? Whose madham is to have أقوال الشادة. Huh? أقوال الشادة. Strange opinions to make it your whole madham. And say what did I say on this issue? Like that. أمام is good. So that I said that you're a strange opinion. Give it to me. And take all of those أقوال which are شادة and غريب. Anyone who does that يا إخوة, the salaf they used to say anyone who takes strange opinions like that who take أقوال which are incorrect like that just gather them together you'll find that this person تزين دقى. It will become a heretic. A ziddiq. Because what you're bringing together when it's taken as a religion it becomes kufr sometimes. Sometimes it becomes what? كفر. This belief it can reach. And a lot of them they do that today. And they open doubts on the طلاب and the students of knowledge when it comes to these issues. Say look the view I hold قاد عياد holds it and now he holds it. صح. You have to remember as a student of knowledge do we believe that the scholars are معصومين? عصمة العلمات. Do you believe that? Huh? Do we believe عصمة العلمات? Do you believe the scholars are infallible? We don't believe they are infallible. They can do mistakes. So brothers when you're seeking knowledge one of the things that شيطان will grab you on is to always want to be alone. They will try to do that to you just to be unique in Allah. I'm different. Students we love that. That's what happens to you. فير الله تعالى و تعالى and stay in line with that which is the أقوالة العلمة and the جمهورة upon it. Person should stay away from the common fatwa. Stay away from it when you're a student of knowledge. And stop becoming a person who is conceited and full of himself. The reason why a person would not do that and he would take أقوال which are غريب and he would take أقوال which are شادة is for two reasons. إِمَنْ عُجْمُ وَلِأْتِدَأَ وِدْنَفْسِ The person is conceited he's full of himself. That's what you're going to see these brothers. The people who take أقوال which are شادة and غريبة they are conceited they're full of themselves. They're full higher than أم العلم. I'm Mufti. That's what I am. He thinks higher than himself. وَإِمَلْ جَهْمُ وَإِنْنَرْتُ He's actually genuinely ignorant. That's what happened to him. He's what? He's ignorant. The ninth thing يا إخوان that helps you to be precise in knowledge is الحضر من التوسع في الإطلاع والقرأة على حسام الضبط والإطقال. Stay away from Stay away from what brothers? Reading too much where you get rid of precision and studying and learning. Sometimes what happens is somebody does إطلاع and قراءة they start to read and read and go through books after books in reading. And that then gets rid of adopt والإطقال the program that he was meant to do. What happened to you يا إخوان؟ I thought you were studying the idea. So what is he looking at? He had a program. He was following the program that we were talking about before which he was becoming a person who is متقين a person who has dubbed accuracy and precision in knowledge. A problem occurred here. He started to buy books. He started to gather those books and he's now at home just reading. He knows Arabic now so he's just a reader. He reads now. What does he do? He reads. This is now taking place of your إطقال Don't let that happen to you. Yes, read. But let the program and your studying take first priority now. That's more important. Don't let it get in your way. و لذلك من الجماعة it says رحمة الله تعالى إن إسكتام تذكيمة السامع والمتكلم في أدام العالم والمتعلم He says و كذلك يحضر في بتدائه طلبه that the student of knowledge stays away from the beginning of his seeking knowledge المطالعات في تفارق المصنفات He stays away from reading individual scattered books. He stays away from that. فإنهو يضيع زبعنا because this what does he do? It destroys and it makes you lose your time when you start reading these books too much و يفرقوا دهنه and what he does is that it scatters your brain. It does that to you. بل يعطي الكتاب الذي قرأه أو الفرق الذي أخذه كلية و حتى يتقنى rather what the person should do is he should put all of his mind to he said رحمة الله he should put all of his mind to what the book that he study with the sheikh and put all his effort in it. If he's got time extra time just read the book the teacher is teaching you. Why is the case? Why is that the case? The reason is because when the teacher is teaching you and the teacher is going through a subject with you if you go and you read some other books those and you haven't grounded yourself you won't know whether that book is right or wrong okay you won't know it you will also take from that book thinking that you know what you're talking about when in reality you haven't so you've got معروماة now you start to gather information instead of what accuracy and bumped and you become grounded but when you read everything after you've grounded yourself the lens that you're reading in is put in it in you're like this is wrong this is strange سبحان الله is opposing this principle and this see you grounded you accept it and you reject things your reading is correct is strong because remember what we're talking about here it's dubbed and it's called you want to be precise in knowledge شخص شعب دكيب وخضاية used to say that a person who just reads a lot and for sakes these programs becomes a journalist مفكير I think of that's it that's the most you're going to be you're going to be a student of knowledge you're not going to be a scholar if you're just an Islamic thinker you know what you're a journalist who's got information and so on so what you do is stay away from reading too much that gets rid of اضبط والإتقان the tenth is العناية تميكوطو بالعلمائين وحققين give an importance to brothers not every single book when you go to a library and you want to buy a book stay away from what? give importance to books that are written by scholars of تحقيق what does it mean a scholar of تحقيق it's a scholar who's elite a scholar who looked at all of the views in this issue and has reached a final conclusion you buy those scholars' works العناية المكتور العلمائي محققين why? because books of those scholars it shortens the path for you it does and with them you will gain a lot of knowledge and it will also suffice you from even reading a lot you wouldn't have to read a lot if you read their words they will give you the gems they will give you the general overall reality that you need and without a doubt the first that come to mind in this regard is none other than شيخو الاسلامي بلوتايميا and his student in بلوخايمة الجوزية these are from the العلمائي محققين ولي ذلك anybody who does not read the works of ابلوطايميا and he doesn't read the كلام of ابلوخايم from the متأخيرين from the late scholars who have come after the Salaf al-Saleh anyone who hasn't read the works of ابلوطايميا and ابلوخايم bid our creep into him without a shadow of a doubt it will creep into him without a shadow of a doubt that's the reality you have to do you have to have ilman of the works of ابلوطايميا you have to have reading of the works of اليمام ابلوطايميا رحمة الله روطa كتاب كود منهاج السنة النبوية right the real name for that book by the way is actually and what the author called it in all the wrong place is called منهاجر أهل السنة that's what the book is actually meant to be and it's very commonly known as منهاجر سنة النبوية ابلوطايميا wrote this book in refutation by Avrul الشيعي individual what was his name ابلوطايميا المحلي right ابلوطايميا wrote a refutation on him when ابلوطايميا refuted him ابلوطايميا المحلي when شيخه الاسلام got out to refute him and to respond to him and criticize him before that the Shi'a and Nevis to give no importance to Hanit and the sides of Hanit are we all together brothers the end game till today's Mahalla they still lack giving reporters to Hanit and his sciences are we all together the most authentic book to them is called كتاب called الكافي written by Al-Qulayli Qulayli wrote that Kitab the author is Matroul no one knows him when he studied when he took knowledge from his biography is unknown if the author is Matroul how we don't look at the narrators and what they say this is the Bukhari of the Shi'a by the way Bukhari of the Shi'a the author of the Kitab al-Kafi is not known الله لا يعرفه لا they don't know when he sought knowledge they don't know who he took from they're not in the mind and the تلاق وضعت in just that book alone just a contradiction in that book alone is more than a thousand what they are from here what they are from here the biggest of them the biggest of it is that they believe that every single person is a murtad except three people عريبة بالطاريب is right there the Ummah the Hadith says for them إلتدت العرب apostated after the prophet except three عريب is not in the three are we together? so some of them will come up to you and say to you now what we mean by this is other than the Arabic of the Messenger of Allah another narration إني كتاب الكافي rejects that what is it? that عريب بالطاريب is mentioned in it they mentioned it seven this time عريب is in the بفاطب so you can't say Arabic now because عريب is in it so what about Fatim and what about Hassan what about Hussein are they murtadil as well? صح the تناقضات in these people is shocking I asked one of the people while back I said to him your كتاب الكافي is in the most authentic book he said yes better than your book I said in the كتاب الكافي to you guys is the most authentic book he said yes good and in that same book it says التقية ديبي و ديب آبائي تقية is my religion and the religion of my four fathers فمن لا تقية لهم anyone who has no تقية فلا إبعال لهم he has no إبعال so تقية is كفر if the prophet doesn't come with تقية in the rafidah's eyes is a disbeliever so we go together if you don't come with تقية you are a catheter to the rafidah we together brothers yeah so I said how do you know the imam when he is doing تقية and when he is not in the narrations صح how do you know when he is narrating the حديث he is not doing تقية here if تقية is كفر and imam for you he is getting closer to Allah by doing تقية how do you know he is not lying to us in this narration right now صح they can't give you a barbid for it they can't and then your whole book there's a great percentage and a great belief because you can't say تقية you can't do if you want that would have been okay accepted but they say it's it's كفر and imam so the imam has to do تقية so it's clear that he is doing تقية here so he is lying و لذلك all of the and the narrations are accepted in حديث except the rafidah we never accept their حديث the scholars used to reject them they lie على كل حال the scholars of تحقيق you have to read their works شكرا سامي بالتايمية علي بالرقية والجوزية and the books of بالتايمية that you should give a lot of importance to brothers is he is بجمع الفتاة you should give importance to his kitab اختضاء سرات المستقيم you should give importance to his kitab من هاج السنة النبوية and the correct name as I said before is what من هاج أهل السنة you should try to also buy the book بيانو تبيس الجهمية الردو على البقلي these are his works that are and many many many more things also ابن القيّر you read his works his aathar especially his kitab بزادر بيان his مختصة صراعيخ المرسلة his علام المواقعين his تهديب السنة you try to read those works of his and also two other imams you should give importance to ابن رجم حمالي's works and حافظ المحضر you should give importance to that ابن رجم حمالي رحمه الله his فتر الباري you should give importance to his kitab جام علوم الحكم you should give importance to the book of imamo ابن حد الفتح الباري and all of his other works like his نخوة الفكر and his تلخيص الحمير and other books he has written also you should give a lot of importance to the دعوة ألمة النجدية محمد العبدالهاب and his offspring and their works you buy the kitab الدورة السنية في في الدورة السنية في عجربة ألمة دعوة نجدية you also buy the fit فتاوة أما تدعوة النجدية فتاوة that they gave you should also read their works that they written they are like our masai except for تفسي ابن كثير as well his works he is from the محققين رحمه الله you read his works نبن القدام is from the محققين you read his works ابن رثيمين is from the محققين شاعد عزيمه بان شاعد عزيمه بان is from the محققين الشيخ ناصل الدينة للباني these are scholars and all of them you stick down and you do it be careful in their works we now move on شاعد عزيمه بان to the eleventh point also I have to add the شرح of كوكب المنير and also the موافقات for the previous one والله هي أخوة الكرام try to stand over the كتاب الموافقات by المام الشاعد طبيه رحمه الله نبن 11 if you want to be a person who is precise and has strong knowledge brothers give importance to what and you give importance to the fatwa of the contemporary scholars you know we have new things that keep happening we have contemporary issues coming up you have you give importance to the fatwa of the of this time the things that they said you can't just say والله ها يرين الكلام of the متقدمين I leave them متاخرين No, you need to read them you need to read the fatwa of لدن الدائمة هي تكباء الولامة you need to read the fatwa that are made by them and the fatwa are two types brothers okay brothers the fatwa are what two types fatwa which are individuals okay individuals individual fatwas you read them like ام العثم يسفت والقابل مفتوحا read it فتاور نور العلدل read it also what you read what you read is what what do you read you also read the fatwa that are made by organizations هي آت and مجام إسلامية okay you read them whether it comes from the fatwa comes from أزهر whether it comes from أراضط عالم إسلامي whether it comes from هي تكباء الولامة you read the fatwa what they say because this is not an individual fatwa it's a congregational fatwa and a congregational fatwa is powerful and it reaches each tihad of a high calama back in the days now all of this all of the هي تكباء الولامة is equivalent to إبنو تيميا okay there is equivalent شخل سام تيميا but now ما شاء الله when they come together they give us the knowledge now the elite knowledge so they are fatwa the hate and the legend the fatwa that comes from big whether it is Saudi or outside Saudi as well outside Saudi as well wherever it may be it's very powerful you read those you read those works number 12 it is الإستفادة brothers that you benefit from the تجاري العلمة the experiences that the scholars have gathered في الكتب وطرق تحسيد العلم you give importance to the experiences that the scholars have gone through and their تجاري the experiences في الكتب وطرق تحسيد العلم how they attain knowledge books that talk about رحلات where the scholars they speak about their journeys when they seek knowledge where the countries they went to and scholars they read you read those books it's very important and the effort that they exerted in attaining knowledge and etc it will help you a lot to become precise you will know the do's and the don'ts remember time is very short how much time can you save if somebody's experience tells you the right things you save a lot of time you can get to the goal faster than many people one of the things that people don't achieve anything brothers is because he wants to do a mistake somebody already before he did it and you waste years of your life like that what do you do you waste years of your life this person will save you 5-10 years maybe that of his life of what he learned he'll save you that time you take it on board number 13 is عدم التلاق بين طلاق و المراهج which is the last one إن شاء الله تعالى is that you stay away from you abstain from brothers changing methodology of seeking knowledge if you have a teacher a person is teaching you you're going through lessons with them and a methodology has been paid for you a way has been paid for you what do you do you stay away you stay upon that way what do you do you stay on that way you don't leave it a methodology has been set for you ايه شيخ ستي we're going to do this is مستوى الأول this is مستوى الثاني الثاني الرابع الخامس first level second level third level fourth level fifth level and he wrote these books for you and he says شيخ الله يعلم let's add this book here because you know it's a sheikh so and so is books ملحج this what they do you know you know don't jump from one methodology to another methodology another way don't follow the one that was set for you and keep upon that because what it does to you is that sometimes you jump to this when you jump to that one and I said this before it happens to students who go to Egypt for instance they go to a college but they go to an institute sorry so they go to one particular institute they watch what they teach and they say سبحانه وتعالي they're good at this but I don't agree with this methodology who are you you're still a knowledge a beginner you start an institute so he jumps he goes to another institute look he's dying he jumps from that one after a year guess what he's done he's gone through all of the institute if you ask him the only knowledge he has is about the institute so this institute they're all right the thing about this institute is this here all right this one سبحانه وتعالي grandma all of it is that's all he knows and he cannot tell you الله what he learned he hasn't finished any of them has not finished any of them actually just stick to one stop jumping from one to another you get more by just sticking to one of them and getting to the ending of it actually your own fingers are not the same your own fingers are not the same one of the things الله I learned when I was seeking knowledge is that this what happens people compare teachers all right this teacher is good at this and this teacher likes this that's when you're a beginner how do you know who's good and who isn't you shouldn't that's why you don't know what's good and what's good about you but what you do is you start comparing teachers but all I realized later was that actually it was good that you have different teachers who have different approaches and the way that they teach it's beneficial one scholar one sheikh he gives so much importance on explaining the text he just sticks to the text it doesn't go outside we'll critique him with a while isn't it being extra information when we go to this sheikh when we go to other things yeah when we go to this the fact that he does that is of benefit is it not it's of great benefit that he sticks to the text another sheikh doesn't do that he goes outside he's good so what you do is you should actually appreciate the variation in the Mashaikh doesn't it what's it not waste time comparing them because if they all were the same you wouldn't have what this one's given and this one's not given does that make sense variation is a benefit the variation is a benefit somebody will critique for example a particular sheikh and say no light this sheikh I don't like his lessons what he goes over the book so fast does that make sense another one says I don't like this sheikh why he goes too deep into these books he's too long enough I don't like him so if you feel like this one is what you like stick to it but this one serves other people that not you like him does that make sense he serves another type of audience and the fact الله has made all of this variation الحمد لله is amazing الله didn't all make us one color he didn't make us all one background he didn't all make us one language he could have it's what I don't know he did us all different variations because a person might like this person's color and this person might like this person's this and this person might like this person's language and this variation you may not like him you might like your own color you might like your own this no problem it's not a crime صح but some these variations are of great value I'm going to conclude the شاء الله تعالى with a كلام نفيس by ابل الرقيم رحمه الله ابل الرقيم سلعين مستطون العلم is six he said it's ست مراتب العلم is six levels أولها the first of them is حسن السؤال asking a good question الثانية the second one is حسن الانصاة والاستماع being a good listener الثانية the third one is so one more time the first one is asking a good question the second one is being a good listener the third one is حسن الفهمي having good understanding of the fourth one is الحفظة memorizing الخامص the fifth one is التعليم تيشن السادس وهي ثاباته which is the outcome of knowledge which is العمل وبهي is to implement it ومرعاة حدودي and it's to observe the boundaries that this knowledge is giving you now this knowledge is now implementation for you فمن الناسي from the people are those من يحرومه لعادة مسؤاله some people are prevented he said from asking question that benefits him and benefits others he doesn't have good he doesn't have asked asking good questions he asked about things that don't matter things that have no benefit and from the people are those who are not good listeners he's a very argumentative person so he doesn't have the second one this person is prevented from knowledge he said another person is a person who doesn't understand anything he doesn't understand the knowledge that's given to him he can't comprehend it and the fourth one he said that it's a people who have been prevented from memorizing what they've already learned so as soon as it goes in it leaves them it's leaving their mind والله أعلم أن الله knows best سبحانه وتعالى وصلى الله عليه وسلم على رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم وكان a concluter إن شاء الله تعالى anything which I've said that was worth it and correct it from me الشيطان أن الله has a message I feel from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدو الله إلا إلا الله ستغفيرك واتولي
