 So the month of Sha'ban is of course the eighth month in the lunar calendar and there is some interesting discussions about its name. The Tasha'a means the branch out. So the idea is that this is a month where there is a lot of good. As Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala describes the adherent believer also has a habit. You know that the believer is one whose foundation is strong, they are best. And as I said, La ilaha illAllah is the foundation of the believer. So there are some Arabologists if you will, Arabists who say that the word Sha'ban is from this word the Sha'a to branch out. So like you take from that immediately the idea of doing like a lot of good, you know, hundred liars a month. Others they said it from from where it's shared. Shared actually is a road in the mountain. And if you think about it in ancient times, if you were in a mountain and you found a path, that's a good thing. Right? Before modern urbanization there were no roads. So if you were in a mountain in ancient times and you found a path, that that path would like mean safety for you. It would help you achieve your goal. So some scholars said like this is the path to Ramadan. This is the path to the syllable of khayr. The apex of good is the month of Ramadan. So this is like the path to talk about the hadith. Other words they said this from Sha'ab. Sha'ab here doesn't mean that you understand it to me now, but in the ancient language Sha'ab means to force something to someone, to force them into submission. And they said that because this is the month of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and he would Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala raise our nefs and our shahawats in this month would be badak. So again as our brother beautifully read, he read so well, inshaAllah. His mom was my daughter's teacher. We're not. This is the month where our nefs and our artists are being prepared for the month of Ramadan. We have a very important principle in Oslo Filq. I hope it's not too complicated. We say that that a given time is earned by man yaa'afiihi me al-khawadith. That as Muslims we recognize the importance of certain moments and times. This is al-qa'irah, al-sulia. It's a principle that different times and places are honored by what happens in those kinds of places. So for example the month of Ramadan, we honor it because it's the month which the Qur'an was sent. We honor it because it was the month in which Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam became Raqmatalli al-Alami alayhi sallat al-sallam. And it's the month in which his ummah, this community, became marhu'ulma ma'fu'uha hatta tukhuna sa'a. It became the best ummah and it became the blessed ummah. And the protective mu'awah that happens in the month of Ramadan, al-sulia al-qa'irah. So we honor it this month because of so many things that happened. And Allah SWT commands us to honor those times and moments in which there was a lot of good. As he says, Subhanahu wa ta'ala wa dhakkiruhum bi-ayyani laa. Remind them of the days of Allah. Remind them of those days when Sayyidina Musa and previous Ambiya, Allah who is Subhanahu wa ta'ala wa dhakkiruhu hatta atta hun nasruna. And Allah, as I mentioned in the Qur'an, Allah helped them. This is actually a very, very important principle because it links the ummah to its history. And for those who celebrate al-nawadah, you know the second controversy issue will probably be similar to that. But the idea of giftifalb al-nawadah, Sayyidina Ma'awiyah, al-ambiya, is rooted in this ta'iyah, this principle. When we think about the great battles that happened and when they happened, when we think about fasting ashura, it's one of the reasons we fast fast those days is to remember when Allah SWT, Sayyidina Musa and his people from Tira'un. So we celebrate times and places and I need to make a very important point, not because of the time and place. That would be sure. But we celebrate different times and moments in our history because we celebrate the one who decreed that that ta'iyah would happen in those days and that's Allah SWT. And that's what Allah SWT says to say to Muhammad SAW, after he gave the future and he gave it the fact, what did he say? As-salamu alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum alaykum Like after all this we did for you and we mentioned to you the facts that we gave you and we saw people embracing Islam in these days because that those good things happen in these days So we need to be careful, we're not celebrating the days for the people, but we're celebrating Allah SWT, Al-Qadir, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala who decreed good for us and good in those days. That's why I say that Imam Al-A'wa, a muhanifah used to say to a character As-Saleh, Al-Habdu l-Ilayum, Al-Qadir said that the stories of the righteous are more beloved to me than filth. It's a strange statement from one of the mishnahi imams, SubhanAllah. They asked him why? He said we have mahasim, As-Saleh, because in that is the stories of the righteous and how Allah helped them. And we have to be careful of people with imams and community who tried to distance us from our history in the name of biya' because we would take now an ummah and there's so much pressure and you distance it from its great history. It's very difficult to find motivation in these days when things are so difficult except SubhanAllah, we have to go back to some of the great people in our history, the great occurrences of our history. When I was in the azhar and I was studying hadith, there was one shaykh who was my teacher, Hadid, who was very busy. And so I came to him and I said, you know how in these days do you find like the motivation, how do you find the qulba, you know, the example to keep yourself motivated? He was a rabbi, so first of all you need to be self-motivated. Don't live your motivation by carouselings of people because that will make you like oil, umas or mashasore that I gave up. So he said, first you yourself, you have to be motivated. And then he said secondly, if you can't find any righteous people or any good people, then go read history, read the history of the salat, read the history of the saliha, read the stories of the prophets and you will find motivation and you will find the the haqq of this ummah know like the truth of this ummah across generations and generations and generations. That's what Ahmad Shauhi in his poem about the Prophet, he said, he said, Isa, he caused the dead to come to life. When you Muhammad, alaihi salam, you brought generations to life, we gave them that. So we have this very important principle that leads us to our history, it's a very beautiful principle that you should follow, or you should follow, al-azmina, wa l-alukina, that places and times are given value based on what happens in those places. That's why the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallamah, when the Sahaba were passing by the places that they were, what do you tell them to hurry, l-as-shallahu alayhi wa sallamah, there's no way, this is the place that I had, go quickly, go quickly. So if we take that principle and we apply it to this beautiful month of Shana, SubhanAllah, a lot of great stuff happened in this month, that should allow us to feel the motivation to prepare, masha'Allah, for the blessed month of Ramadan. We ask Allah SubhanAllah to allow us to see this month of Ramadan. The first, that in this month the qiblah was changed, and that's something very important in our history, and that was something that made the Messenger of Allah happy, salallahu alayhi wa sallamah, and the changing of the qiblah is one of the components of the statement, what a soul for your tigarab buka, for tawm Allah. Like, don't worry now, don't get it twisted, right? Things aren't working out, Allah SubhanAllah will make you happy, salallahu alayhi wa sallamah. So Al-Bukhari jinn, one of the great scholars of Harith, and we find others in the Muslim type, I see here, they mentioned that the changing of the qiblah happened after the Muslims had faced an aqsa, faith month this actually, Allah SubhanAllah, protect and free brain khair to the people of Palestine, that the Muslims they prayed towards Jerusalem for 17 months and three days. And then Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, you know that the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he kept looking to the heavens, waiting for the commandment, he'll be taken in for it less, that in happiness and in anger and in sadness we should do Allah. Like sometimes if we feel pressure, we have no choice but to trust Allah. But even in a good that I want to do, I should be patient. That's what you mean, Allah Allah, it says in the Haqqa, you know like if you trust in yourself then you'll lose faith when things don't go your way. So even though the Prophet, and he's the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he's excited, he's earnest for the direction of prayer to be changed to Mecca, he's pleased with what Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala decides, he's patient. Sometimes we will make mistakes, especially in Muslims we have a lot of energy, so we think that that zeal equals ascension to act, no no, it's time to be patient, to be smart, to think. So Sayyidina Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam kept looking and looking and looking and looking and Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala reveals to him, he kept looking and looking and looking and looking and looking and looking and looking and looking and now we're going to direct you to a Qil'ah that will please you. Subhanahu wa ta'ala Sayyidina Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and only every time I see like your relationship with Allah, Allah is rushing to do what makes you happy. Like every time you want something that's good, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and here we learn something from the verses of the changing of the Qil'ah that we as a community share in prophetic responsibility also because here this is in balaqah, the rhetoric of something the tense changes. I used to hate to find real papers in the university now with this chat they make it more difficult to know who's writing what, but I remember people would change tenses. I don't do that in this English, but now we submit to change the tense if there's a month full, if there's an understanding in the verse that's powerful. So look, Allah says then later on it says the first changes, the tense changes from speaking to the Prophet alone to speaking for all of us. Dr. Muhammad Ali Sayyid, he was the Dean of the College of Sharia, in Al-Azhar he said to show us that we as followers of the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we share this responsibility, we have been now anointed by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala to do the work of prophecy with Subhanahu wa ta'ala. This happened in Sha'ban and Abu Haid to be said this happened in the middle of Sha'ban, that the direction of the Qil'ah was changed and this is something that brought pleasure to the message of Allah, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Another thing that happens in the length of Sha'ban, which is important to us and mentioned by most of the scholars of Tassir and scholars of Halif, is that the verses that command us to send Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are sent in Sha'ban, the verses in Sha'ban are more and Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, the verses says he need Allah his angels, they sent peace and blessings upon the Prophet, O believers, you must, this is a command, you must send Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam upon the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Abu Sayf al-Yaman, from the south, he said, that this verse was sent in the month of Sha'ban. Command us to send Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, upon Sayf al-Alam, so we can be from the people of the Ahl al-Juna'a, so in the month of Sha'ban, this command, which is nothing but good for us, whoever wants to find khayr should send a bandit, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam upon the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I remember when we were memorizing on Bukhari, we complained to our teachers and we can't memorize Bukhari, he said, because you're not making Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, upon the one that sent Bukhari. That's why I said in Imam Ali, he said, whoever reads hadith, from the people of hadith, whenever they read the name of Muhammad, they should say loudly, not in a way that disserves people, Allahumma salli wa sallam alayhi wa sallam, alayhi wa sallam. That's why they call it at the degree, because they always make Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam upon the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And as my friends in Egypt used to say, if you want to be happy, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. If you want to be happy, say, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, because we have to understand the Prophet doesn't need our Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't need our Sallahu alayhi wa sallam, but as Mu'dah al-Ali said, when you've said Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Wallahi you are spending on yourself. You are being generous with yourself. That's why the Hadeem of Sayyidina Abdullah al-Mustoum, praise Allah have mercy on him for all the materiality. The Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that a miser, the, the, the, the, the, the the one who my name is mentioned And they don't say salawatu wa sallam, salamu alayhi wa sallam. So when the month of Sha'ala, the people who've changed to Mecca, Muqtara, and Haram, and also this verse, some say it was sent in the name of Isra'il Mu'waj, but it's not Isra'il Mu'waj. The strong opinion is that the verse is sent, salawatu wa sallam, salamu alayhi wa sallam, salamu alayhi wa sallam, it was sent in the month of Sha'ala. Isra'il Mu'waj, salawatu wa sallam, salamu alayhi wa sallam, salamu alayhi wa sallam. There's a great book that he wrote about sin and peace and blessings of Allah the Prophet. He mentioned the 81 al-Isra, 81 virtues of sin and salawatu man-sina, Rasulullah, sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wa sallam. The yufrija come in the volumatic, ilayno, alhamdulillah. So sometimes you should tell young people, it's hard, it's not hard to make tiktat. It's hard, it's hard. You see, also other people, the algorithm isn't the job. So you want to make sure, especially in this month, but you remember that this is the month, masha'Allah, where this command came from Azizun, salawatu wa sallam, the Prophet, some of our scholars, he's called, salawatu wa sallam, Sayyidina Al-Sul is a human in the chat. I mean the ship that will take you across the ocean of doom to Salvation. That's what the Prophet, salawatu wa sallam, said. Nobody said salawatu wa sallam on me, he said, just present it to me. And I responded, salawatu wa sallam, that's a good Hadith. And the Prophet, salawatu wa sallam, said, whoever sends salawatu wa sallam on me on Friday, it is presented to me. And the name of that person is mentioned, and I respond and say the name of that person, salawatu wa sallam. So, we see now this month, if that was all that happened, so we need to know. Because a shop of al-Makar, al-Mikr, al-Azmina, we ma waq'at fiham al-Hawad, he said that as Muslims, we give value to things based on what happens in those places or times. Because that means Allah SWT manifested his asma and sifat and rahma to creation. We should be thankful to Allah SWT for that. The other thing the Prophet, salawatu wa sallam, in the Hadith, where everybody said the Imam and the Seyyid, he mentioned that in the month of Shah-e-Man, that the actions are raised to Allah SWT. What it means is that our actions are accepted. There's four different times that this happens in a year. But I'll come to you now, this is one of those times. And that's to show that those times are blessed like the month of Ramadan, for example, and others. But specifically, the Prophet, salawatu wa sallam, said that in this month, this hadith is good. Our deans are accepted by Allah SWT. And that's why Sayyidina Al-Azm is himatic. He asked the Prophet, salawatu wa sallam, as we'll note in the Hadith of Sayyidina A'isha, from Al-Mukhari, the Hadith of Sayyidina Al-Azm, that he said to the Prophet, salawatu wa sallam, I don't see him fasting in any month besides Ramadan, more than the month of Shah-e-Man. And he said, because this is the month, miyafulu al-nasu, bayna al-rajjab al-Ramadan, people in the English or in the Arabic, between the month of Rajjab and Ramadan, we'll be able to read it. And it's in this month that the deans are raised. So I want to be fasted when my deans are being audited, salawatu wa sallam, wa an-as-saikh. He said, salawatu wa sallam, that's the third amazing reason that we should honor and celebrate, alhamdulillah, this lesson month, the fourth, that after all the months out of Ramadan, this is the month that the Prophet, salawatu wa sallam fasted the most. The authentic narration of the pulmillah Sayyidah al-ashshara, radiAllahu ta'ala anha, al-Mubarra'a fi hitabillah, who said that sometimes it was though he fasted Shah-e-Man, kullah. Like I thought he fasted the whole month, salallahu alayhi wa sallam. In other narrations, from Abu Sayyid al-Khudri, he said, you know, very rarely he saw he wasn't fasted the month of Shah-e-Man. Salallahu alayhi wa sallam. There are numerous narrations, some of them are not strong, but they're strengthened by other narrations of the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he encouraged us to fast. And that's why Sayyidah al-ashshara, when she was asked, she said, I did not see him fasting more outside the month of Ramadan. I thought, siyamin, from this month of Shah-e-Man, salallahu alayhi wa sallam. So that's the fourth reason, masha'Allah, we should be excited and motivated. Number one was, we said, Number two, he said, it was Salawat. The reverse is to send Salawat. Number three, yeah, was the actions that raised Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala out of forwarded situations. And now, the fourth, that the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he used to fast abundantly in this month, alayhi, salatu wa salam. Maybe somebody's saying, what about the alayhi, he says, don't fast, it's not for somebody who regularly fasts. And also, this is not a command, it's tahrim, doesn't he, or forbidden to, it's just better if you go fast. But if somebody has days to make up the month of Ramadan, if somebody regularly fasts, or somebody wants to have qurba, min Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, go for it, alhamdulillah. Because the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, alayhi wa sallam, like fasting has no comparison. There's nothing like this. There's no equal to it. Salallahu alayhi wa sallam, that's it. It's also because this month is the night where Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala decrees who is going to die in the next year. We ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, we ask you. And from the authentic narration of Sayyidina Adam, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, which is also very similar to the previous narration. We'll talk about also Ina Maja and Ahmed and the Muslim. I asked the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, like why are you fasting so much this month? He said, because this is a month where Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala decrees who is going to not decree, because Allah's decree is asin, but it means Ibraz, Maqala. Allah makes clear what he decreed before creation. To those Malayka in the other narration says, to make a demote, to take the souls of those people to the next year. So the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, and I hope that with my life expectancy is presented, I'm fasting. Salallahu alayhi wa sallam, so here we see two of the virtues I mentioned. One is fasting, the second is that the people who will pass away, we ask Allah, we ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, may Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala grant him highest levels of jinn, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, and we ask Allah to extend our life, insha'Allah, as long as mad-namat al-hayat, khaybu lana, insha'Allah, as long as our life is good for us. So here we saw a number of virtues, all those hadith are good hadith or strengthened by other narrations. Some of them are from Bukhari, specifically the hadith of Sayyid-e-Aasha, some of them are from Iman-Muslim, and some of them are from Taba'at. They are authentic narrations, giving the Muslims a collection. What are the five things we should think about to get into the soul? Number one, the changing of the khidna. Number two, the verse about Sidi Salahat upon the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And number three, the representation of deeds. Number four, that the Prophet used to pass it a lot this month, and the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam finally said, he mentioned that the list or the information or the knowledge of those people who are going to die in the next year is made heaven to like the most. That's what Allah Ta'ala did for you. So those are five reasons, masha'Allah, that we should honor this one. Also if you look to some of the salah, it's important to know that the salah very rarely abbreviates. You know, they abbreviate on the Hussur, the khidna of Hussur, they abbreviate on the foundations of Islam. But sometimes they differed on the practice of those foundations or the spirit of how they were implemented. Or sometimes they may have differed as Mishmashay, Mutami or Rahim Muhammad. They differed because some of them knew things that others didn't know. Some of them had narrations that others didn't know. Actually now, this era, you have more access to but they had abbreviation than we do, subhanAllah. Now there's an app, it's on the phone that has all the major books of hadith just from the Arabic word. It comes up, it gives you the sunnah, it gives you the names, it gives you the status of the hadith, even now there's an app with all of the masahid and all of the different carats. There's another app now, they're all free. All the tafsid. SubhanAllah, we have more information but unfortunately because we may not know how to process that information at least the difference is a set of unity. That's the difference. But specifically, if we look at the early generations of Muslims, we found some disagreement about specifically honoring the what we call Shab-e-Burat or the middle of the night of Shabat. This is Shabat. There are numerous narrations of the Prophet, subhanAllah, about this night but as a part of the religion he mentions, most of these narrations are not free of some kind of criticism. However, Shab-e-Burat and other said if you bring them together you support one another especially if you find you try like if you see that early Muslims are acting on those hadiths. That's why we in the Madighis you know, we have an action of the action of the Salaf sometimes are stronger than narrations stronger than hadith that are narrated because they are acting in some possible but I think they will act in contradiction of the Sunnah of the Prophet, subhanAllah. So for example, the Prophet, subhanAllah has reported that some of these hadiths are not extremely important. Hadith Sayyidina asked that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala on the night of Shabat he will say like who is there seeking to give them, who is seeking to refute a partnership or move their hardship who is asking for risk I'll give them their revisions. Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Hadith Sayyidina Aisha there are numerous Ahadith in the middle night of Shaban I don't know why we are fighting over this fight SubhanAllah, if you want to do it do it, if you don't want to do it don't do it, SubhanAllah, it's not a problem but we find some of the early Muslims they differ over this practice so for example, Mughal-e-Mu'adan from Ahishan from the Salaf Makhud was from the Salaf Lokman in Ma'an from the early Muslims I don't know these people but some students of knowledge they are going to go the research is good these people are from those people we call as Salaf as Salaf al-Saleh and those people Imam Ibn Rajim al-Hambadi Shafi Muntamiya and others they mentioned that those people in the middle night of Shaban they used to wear ice clothing and they used to worship and in fact Muntamiya said this is not anything that he was making car like I want you to review this it's established because those people are from Salaf al-Saleh you have to say a Salaf doesn't give me the right to choose what Salaf I want to follow and then say the other Salaf I don't follow no, if you follow one Salaf in an Ishti had and the other Salaf they have a different Ishti had then all of that is from a Salaf al-Saleh Salaf al-Saleh a Mayabic view and a Mayabic implementation it's not correct, if I do I will be Ba'ali as Salafina and I will be Ba'ali you believe in some of them some of them you don't believe in them and we see all groups doing this unfortunately but we should acknowledge the richness of our tradition we should acknowledge the layers and we have to use this mic because that mic is for you so it's for you I understand I think they're going to hear about it I think they're going to hear about it with that mic You think so? You can ask them Can you hear? I think that mic is better No way Try that, try that, see what happens Can you hear me now or do you hear me back? I'm trying, I'm trying I'm trying The live stream is like What are you doing both of you? I'm leaving both of you I guess I could do that It's going to be crazy The live stream can't hear this mic Can you hear this one? I mean then people will die That'll be a problem I don't know I don't know what you guys are talking about I think if you could just hold that You don't have to use the stand That's good I got you wrong I don't know what you were talking about Try to make both of us Thank you so much Thank you I still need that mic for the marriage I got him married By the will of Allah Remember the axiom You should celebrate times and places By the events that happen Look at how they make that boom Oh look, that's a boy So In that moment So there were a number of Salaf Islamic in Syria Specifically in areas of Damascus Who They would honor this middle line Based on those hadith And based on the actions of their teachers So if ya Later this is Shaban And that's why The sheikh came to me And said to me Nobody can review that Nobody can reject that Nobody can deny it And that's why in the form that they have in general You look at the form that they have in Sunni mall They say it's good To worship on this night There were other Great scholars We have to be balanced though Because maybe some people aren't comfortable It's okay He said He said This is an innovation Perhaps they said it was an innovation Because those riyats Those narrations And those practices Of those sahabah Who went to different places Didn't reach them It's something very common In the early formulations Of this something That some scholars had access To narrations Of this something That some scholars had access to narrations That others did And that's why hajj Had to be very important to them Like now we can do Before I read to some of them a shaykh Because that's the time we get to see them Also Imam al-Oza'i Who can Imam al-Sham Imam al-Oza'i had his own manhub His manhub was the manhub of Andalus Before and after Andalus Malik al-Saghir Imam al-Malik's manhub Andalus used to follow the manhub Of Imam al-Oza'i Rahimullah He also didn't accept this practice The point is The salaf don't find like A Agreement on to do it or not And they all have their Evidences or lack thereof What you should think about In this night though is the follow It's better not to do it in Jama'at At an accent Because doing it in Jama'at May That may be formalized In a way that it wasn't formalized By the Prophet say so By those burdens Number two is Some scholar said it's better to do it in your house Why? Because that's closer to the class That's closer to sincerity To be Allah SWT And also the Prophet said You don't want to make your houses Like A graveyard So if you agree To be Allah SWT To bring life to our homes With worship The third issue on this Is we should not fight them That everyone agrees Is not allowed One time Shafi even taking it Some people sent him Rahimullah A message they said In this message we are arming Allah SWT Some for me Why can't people agree on this? If we agree on this What can we argue on this The world will be a different place So they wrote him a letter They said We started to get into a fist fight In the message So we started to throw Like now we call shift shift Sorry to throw the shoes at each other And so then I want those who follow Who think they follow So listen to what you are back to them You know what he said in his letter Why are you fighting? Then he wrote A whole essay about why you shouldn't fight About this kind of stuff We set up an Urfa It's published He did a nice Critical edit of that And published So he said like Why are you fighting over these issues Often times you know we fight over religious issues Because we have some trauma in ourselves And that's how we show our trauma Maybe it's childhood trauma Maybe it's religious trauma Why is it so difficult Just to say Why are you here? And that's why It's not reported That any of the setup Fight on this issue Even though they're different It was a strictly academic discussion And that's why you're not the chef Rahimullah That they're brilliant So you're not the chef But he said That this she had here And that he said You know these kind of issues Where you can legitimately differ Nobody should raise their hand To someone else's wife Because the only time you're able to like The only thing is when it's A lot of people They'll be like If she had it's not Say that Muhammad said If you see evil Change it with your hand So the language of Imam Shafi Is very delicate and precise He said that these kind of issues Where there's legitimate differences Nobody should raise their hand You need to know what you should try to physically That it involves because It's not hunkah And most of the time What we see in communities Are people fighting over issues of each He had and they differ over Issues of also They differ over the foundations They fight over the issues That you're not supposed to fight over And that's why Sometimes we find issues and problems So be careful of people who try to Flame It's okay to academically say I don't agree with this I don't follow that practice Or I do follow that practice No problem That's an academic discussion You can have that discussion But if you find someone saying This community is evil because they don't do it This imam is the shaitan That the child These people are ages of shaitan And they are dividing our community As Those early muslims That we discussed earlier There's a very Beautiful historical narrative Associated with the amount of shaitan In fact Imam At-Talaqi he said there are 23 Names that the salaf And some of the early muslims Gave to this one The first subhanallah Is the month of takfir The month of forgiveness Because of the narrations About the actions being presented To Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala The narrations about Their being forgiveness in this month They call it the month of forgiveness Others They call it the month of the Quran In fact The scenario on behalf of Sayyidina Anas, in Mubarak Issaad has a little bit of weakness He said that when the month of Sha'ban would come That the Sahaba Would become busy reciting the Quran In the statement of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam That the Rajab Is shahmullah Sha'ban shahin Ramadan shahumati Alayhi sallam This hadith is strengthened by The number of narrations When brought together becomes That the month of Rajab Is the month of God The month of Sha'ban Is My month because it's the month of the Quran For reciting the Quran The month of Ramadan is the month of my Allah Because, Alhamdulillah, we're forgiven So much of the forgiveness And being protected and safe from the Hellfire This month, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Sayyidina huli wa anan I'll see you Before that Others, they call this the month Of Ahya Specifically, the night In the middle of Sha'ban Because some of the salaf, they said That the angels have two Eids This is a sound narration That the angels, they have two nights That are Eid for them, like our Eid in the dates The first is The middle of Sha'ban The second is the level of Qadr Why isn't Eid for them? Because it's Мне فارغ It's good It's charity Salatum It's some other things And now the name, May Shaa Allah Give it to this last month Is the month where things are Distributing Of course, those of you who write Sha' 53a There are people who say We are the Wise Some of the people who have said our provisions are made clear to those barakah and everything that will happen Alhamdulillah. What is it that we should be doing in this month as we prepare for the month of Ramadan? Number one, what you just did is to learn some new things about this month. One of the worst things anybody can say is, I never heard that before. Are you a Salman Ali? You know, I never heard that before. So, how if our kids said that to us? Clean your room. I've never heard that before. We'll lose our minds now. But I never heard that before. Should we instead help the Yemeni We should say what Musa said. Can you teach me something? I don't know. But this is an age of inflated ego. It's an inflated age of very shallow religious leaders. So people think that because they haven't heard something that's why Adab al-Baqf from Allah knows the science of how to argue and study. We have a great principle that says Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it does or doesn't exist. Well, Jahnu, now you feel Jahnu. I don't know something that doesn't mean it's not known just means I don't know. And the job of teachers is to make you uncomfortable. That's why the great scholars how did they die? You name one scholar, Bukhari, he died by himself. Imam Al-Tabari, his funeral cannot be held outside. He was held at night in his home, Al-Tabari. But now everybody loves him. Because they challenged with scholarly information the collective ignorance of the communities they serve that you should trouble. That's why Imam Ibn Rushd and Hafid, when Al-Tahya and Bukhari Mal'A'udi went to visit he said, where is Ibn Rushd? He said, Mahbouz. He's under house arrest. Ibn Rushd? House arrest? Yeah. He's under house arrest. Imam Al-Assadi, who we mentioned tonight when he went to Damascus and he came to Damascus and he saw people cursing Sayyidina Ali and cursing Sayyidina Fatima. He said, Aksha Ali I'm scared, they're going to go straight. I'm scared, they're going to go straight. I'm scared, they're going to go straight. Sayyidina Ali Sayyidina Fatima Sayyidina Jannah Sayyidina Ali Sayyidina Ali Sayyidina Fatima And then the people of Syria don't get angry, it's history, it's not you. The people there, they ask him why you don't write the Fatima? He says it doesn't have any Fatima and he killed him. Imam Ibn Rushd He's killed him. One narration says he was beaten and he died on the way tonight. So if you look at the great scholars that you love now Ibn Taymiyyah, Bukhari Bukhari, Bukharifa, Malik Sharafid is in the Sharia and he was assaulted and he died. They were punished by the collective consensus on ignorance by the uneducated Muslim masses because they made them uncomfortable. Besides Imam Ibn Taymiyyah Ibn Bakri said I was in Andalus and there was Imam Al-Karplusha and Malik he came and he prayed like this. Prayed like this. Of course, from Malik he was on his shoulders to pray with his hands. And they're reading in the back of the message and he was praying like this and I said he's crazy. And then I saw some like workers just workers and they started to say we're going to beat him and throw him in the sea. This is Imam Al-Karplusha this is one of that great scholars on the side. So then Al-Karplusha said Ibn Bukhari like the Bukhari they're going to throw you in the ocean and he said they're going to kill me in Jahlia again. But they're ignorance that's why I'm Imam Al-Karplusha said Al-Karplusha said I'm going to throw you in the ocean and I said when I saw that the masses of the people were educated I learned until they called me a student because if some people call you a student you're educated. So most of the Imam at the age of 40 if you're from the age of 40 you go you went a bit in a hole on the needle so many people wanted to hurt him because he said I don't want to hurt him I believe I can make it that she had he tried to kill him so I want you to appreciate the fact that sometimes if you hear information from your teachers and the Sheikh you've never heard before that's a good thing that's a good question it's not wrong to challenge we should have those discussions but we can challenge your class to hear such an amazing great Sheikh and great teacher wrote this great book 345 pages and they come up I'm sure somebody will say I've never read that before my goodness like you read every book that was ever written one time I was with one of our teachers and he was reading Hadid and one guy said this Harid is weak and you're weak and you're weak share the Sheikh the pieces the Sheikh he said did you have a bad name he said where are you where are you? then the Sheikh he said actually this hadid because you have to remember something what he said is so brilliant in text, in Muslim history only 6% have been printed that means you know the large body of the academic tradition hasn't seen a lot of day the Makhutat the handwritten books so that means you and I were just reading a book and dropped from the ocean then the Sheikh he said I have a print of the Makhutat with this hadid I quote it with a silent sayid he said I'm sorry Sheikh I don't know he said that's where you should have started the problem is not only Imams and scholars the problem is also people that push them and they make them uncomfortable because they learn something new by learning something new is good one time I taught a course from my and I quoted Imam the enemy and some girl she can't picture I hate this class the main why she said because I never heard that before I said did you pay to learn what you already know did you pay just to make your ego feel good and that's why usually when someone reads with a different Quran today I read with the Bazi somebody came here and said brother you made mistakes before I don't know I said no you know isn't it? the Imam Ahimecca from Bazi you don't know it well no brother this is you know I never did before he says I don't know I don't know I don't know I said no so be patient you learn something new but you should also be able to ask questions no Imam no teacher is going to be asking that's the bad relationship so the early Muslims they called this the month of the Quran and they would be busy reciting the Quran to prepare for Ramadan some of the early Muslims also would give their zakat in shaban why? because it's beautiful because they wanted the poor Muslims to have a good Ramadan they wanted the Muslims who needed zakat that they would have money in the month of Ramadan to buy gifts for their kids to prepare food so that they wouldn't feel the pressure of the month of Ramadan even though we know the Prophet SAW said the best time to give Salah is in the month of Ramadan other things that they would do is say that Allah is a lot abundant the Prophet SAW said Allah is the best thing that I anyone else said is that Allah is a lot and finally they would increase their salary so that they were not negligent from raja what they did from fasting and also they would be ready for the month of Ramadan and that's what you find like Omar Ibn Abul Aziz he would encourage people when he wrote one time to his soldiers there are four nights where you should focus on Dua he said the first is later to Juman the second is the night of Alha in 15 and Abdullah Ibn Awar he wrote the same thing to some people and he added to it the new 5 nights he said so Allah asked him to make Dua ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala to prepare us for the month of Ramadan means Shaab is this is this path to go up the mountain Shaaban so now we are preparing this ascent into the month of Taqwa the month of the Quran the month of Naboor the month of Khair the month of Jannah Allah will save us from hell and the month of Ramadan so we should start to prepare for it so as I finish what we talked about Alhamdulillah we talked about different nice names around why it's called Shaaban the second thing we talked about is the important principle to show the name of Allah this is very important to tie us to our history because our history now especially in a most colonial world in the continued military aggression and economic terrorism I mean it's such a hypocritical thing that they are crying about Ukraine they can't say anything about calisthenics he says it's hypocrisy it's hypocrisy so we have to in this time go back sometimes to break victories in history to maintain our faith and our strength and our belief and to have the zeal the connection to the haqq and then we talked about the important things that happened in Shaaban changing of the people the verses are salawat upon the prophet salallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam actions are raised to Allah subhanahu wa sallam the life the hood of people or their life span of people who died has been shown to Malik and Monta this month and then also we mentioned you know our unthought and other things are made clear this week those are sufficient reasons to celebrate alhamdulillah this month and how do we celebrate working on our marriages spending time with our children entrepreneurs we need to encourage entrepreneurship in the community how can we scale this is the word for the Bay Area our services are not what they should be we need to create revenue streams that support our communities in ways that will allow us to be served this is the time to think about that and then we talked about alhamdulillah in the middle of Shaaban and the difference of the salafu sallam on observing that night those who want to do it alhamdulillah they'll be rewarded for their need those who don't want to do it they'll be rewarded for their need we need to fight and argue about and then we mentioned some of the things that the early Muslims did by the 23 days we go through all 43 days of war with them all of course that they gave to this month and we know in Arabic the more something has named the more it's honored that's why Allah has named it so we mentioned it's called the Quran the month of qira'a the month of recitation so they will recite the Quran and other of the salafu sallam number two that they call it the month where the night of Eid is happening just like for the angels in the middle of Shaaban as well as at the end of the month of Ramadan with recitation third thing that we say is in Arabic and the fourth we did a mission is to step forward in Arabic we are constantly missing step forward Allah will move away from their anxieties and provide them with places they will never know that Eid came from from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so and then finally we said to increase our Eid and work on our month it's don't go through Ramadan having a fight with your family with your animals that's not what makes it right anymore it loves Allah we don't want to have that we want to try to make sure before we push into Ramadan that we've gone to people people wait for Ramadan series but it should be before Ramadan work on issues in my marriage work with my children work with my parents while I'm just treated and try to heal those relationships so we go into the month of Ramadan Alhamdulillah ala khayri in a good way and that sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which is a good hadith that Allah swt will forgive people in Shaaban except for two types of people specifically we're talking about the night of Shaaban the mushrik and the muslim in this school so we ask Allah SWT to give us television we'll sit down ask Allah SWT to make us from his feedback ask Allah SWT the βηмен נ Mandy M셔서 The first question, top quality question right now, 38 upvotes, is I remember this was a question as much as the person looking for guidance or advice. They say, I have random anxiety throughout the day. I experience it during work, with friends, and when I'm alone. This is causing me to overthink many cases in my life. Thank you so much. So first of all, we believe that anxiety is not indicative of what we face. It's perhaps the worst advice I've ever heard anyone get inspired. Anxiety is oftentimes an evidence for a very caring, mature, deeply emotional person. Which is a good thing. However, everything should be in the balance. That's why in the four books, out of the six books of Kenneth O'Hadee, you find a chapter. What would the Prophet say, alaihi salam, when he fell anxious? Subhanallah. And there are six actually, there are like six du'a to say. The famous one most of us know, Allahumma yudhi, I would be coming to him. But hasn't. Prophet, I think, ravaging you from things that cause stress inside. So first of all, because that can add layers of sort of anxiousness to a person when they feel like, oh, I'm anxious. So this means something, oh, I'm not a good person. That has nothing to do with this. The second thing is we need to analyze what we're feeling anxious about. And I like to give students of mine a way of thinking that has helped me a little bit. Not completely because I have four kids, so I'm always anxious. But we have to have our sphere of influence on our sphere of concern. That's how we should divide our life. Sphere of influence is like, what can I impact? Like, what can I impact realistically or with some effort? So for example, like, you know, things in my home, I can impact how I treat people. Now, what happened in Turkey? I'm going to make charitable donations, Syria. Those are things I can impact. So those are things that should have priority. My circle of concern is like, is there water on Pluto? Where does nuclear fusion going to be a cost? And what happens, I've seen most people they invert that. Their circle of concern is their circle of influence. The circle of influence is actually what they can impact. So it leads to stress and anxiety. That's why Imam Ibn Al-Ata'a Allah, sorry to quote a lot. Imam Ibn Al-Ata'a says, He said, you know, give yourself a break from trying to administrate outcomes because the outcome is beyond my control. The outcome is from Allah, for we will only eat Allah. He said, because what has been done for you being from Allah, you can't do for yourself. The third thing that I notice with anxiety, and this is a good thing, it shows you the people care, man, is that sometimes we feel guilty because things around us are so bad. We have to appreciate the fact that corporate media, especially now, is pushing narratives that lead us to lose trust in ourselves as a collective, like as a species. And highlight our amplified things that make us different. We need to be careful I talked about it in the hookah. How much am I intaking? Like if I'm taking so much that it's becoming destabilizing, I should stop. The Quran is step by step. The whole Quran wasn't set once because people couldn't handle it. It was a beautiful idea. We said it's like this. So you can stay strong emotionally, psychologically, intellectually. Alayhi s-salam. What about news? And there's a very important principle, and I'm a believer in orthodoxy, and word scares people because oftentimes orthodoxy is not understanding correctly. But orthodoxy, Islamic orthodoxy, actually is emancipating. And it breaks relief. I don't know that because I embraced it. And one of the major principles we have is Al-Taghlifu bil-Muhad, la'ijus. Now Allah will never burden you or hold you accountable for something beyond your circle of influence. Because one of the conditions of any obligation is what? Al-Qudrah. And Al-Madehi is Sharut al-Wujum. Sharut al-Wujum? What makes something obligatory on me? Al-Qudrah. I have the physical, mental, emotional, financial ability to do it. So I don't have to learn to basic up. I shouldn't be like, Man, I can't basic up. I'm such a bad person. Why? You don't have Al-Qudrah. We see this every month in Ramadan. And they'll not protect us. And it shows you how dedicated people are to Allah Almighty. They get sick and they can't fast. What do they say? I remember there was a brother on chemo therapy. So I'm fasted. Bro, don't fast, bro. Rahimullah. Don't fast. Don't fast. Don't fast. I feel so bad. No, Allah has removed this from you. And you can achieve your good. This is the next principle. When we are unable to do things with our intention. Well, like if Allah gave me the ability, I will achieve it. And you will be rewarded for your need. That's why the statement of the early Muslims, niyyatul mu'min khairu min amli. That the intention of a believer is better than his or her actions. Meaning when I'm incapable. Especially I have family from Syria and Iran. So I understand. A lot of things happen in Syria and Lebanon. My family feels obviously they're upset because they can't help. They can only help in a limited way. Hattafullah hamas da tahtum. Why the Qur'an says fear Allah according to your ability. So I should not allow myself religiously, I have to be careful. That I feel guilty about things I do. Not have the ability to impact. This is my problem with Tiktok Oks and Instagram trophies. That they tell people what, we're such a horrible human because what's happening on Pluto? And then you're like, yeah I'm such a bad Muslim, Pluto, the ice water and all this. And so people start to feel down. But this is to khalifu hundimah. That you khalifu hundimah. You are burdening them with something Allah didn't burden them. And that's what Allah said about the Prophet. The Prophet removed this kind of burden from him. So now I see the horrible situation in Afghanistan when we pray. Our brothers and sisters are in Afghanistan. And we see now a large number of refugees coming into this country in Virginia from Afghanistan. I met one just yesterday here in Michigan. And people, we feel that burden, what's happening on Samaria, nobody's talking about it. We feel that burden, but we shouldn't feel the burden to the point that I begin to blame, I'm not a good person, I'm a bad person. I have the ability to make that change. But I can intend, ya Allah, if you gave me the ability, Allah will make that change. That's why I get sorry. Sahih al-Hikm. If Allah says, If Allah opens a window for you to know him by showing him your inadequacies to do something, don't despair. If Allah opens a window for you to know him by showing him your inadequacies to do something don't despair if you can't do it. Don't despair if you want it because Allah was to show you you didn't have it. In the moments of inadequacy, how do we make up for it? Need it. Well, Allah, if I can be in Palestine, Heaven, I'll be there. If I can be in Kashmir, I'll be there. And being sincere in this, need it. That's why Imam Ahmed Muhammad, when he was in prison and his son said to him, what can we do? You can't change it. And then finally, and I believe this is very important, as an interdisciplinary approach, and I'm sure you do that. I remember you used to do this with Dr. Kamal. You have to partner with mental health providers and therapists. You have to have an intake. We opened up the Aquilax Anonymous in Boston in the last evening. And people got mad. They told me, you're encouraging people to drink. Well, open up an Aquilax Anonymous but then when we started in gambling, we had a chronic gambling or that Fanduul nonsense. But then after we started helping people out and our mental health providers and local physicians began to help people with substance abuse issues, I mean, and I mentioned I found a brother with a heroin needle in his arm, in the water. He said, Imam, I'll be there in the 29th. Ramadan. I said, Masha'Allah, you made it for 29? Keep going, man, don't worry about it, let's go. So you want to think about this as an interdisciplinary challenge because anxiety is real. America's host is set on hyper-anxiety right now. The construction of beauty that we saw suddenly came about a number of times in this country now. The highest suicide rates, the higher depression rates. You have to be strategic and we, Imam, we know the thing about that stuff. We are not professionally trained therapists. We're not professionally trained to know in those deep waters of people. We can add the religious animation, but the meat has to be cooked by that interdisciplinary partnership. The next question that we've got is from one of the sisters. I said, 32 of those is really popular. I said, I really made up this fast from this ratio. Seems like I have to make up 200 this fast. How should I address this? Yeah, you take the opinion that you are not fast, that you pay the opinion because of the kathara and you don't want to shop out. This is where someone says, I never heard that before. Good. Good. There's something new. Because man, I can say in my own family, baby born, breast feeding, baby born, breast feeding is four years. Right, it's four years. So say the you are not fast, radiallahu anhu. radiallahu anhu. Authentic marriage he says that those women in that situation pay the opinion. And we have a famous action, Islamic law. Al-Mushaqqa tajibu taseer. I mean hardship brings ease. Say the shabsa, if something becomes suffocating, the shariah expands. And from the five what are called mushaqqa, difficulties we learn this in our gift tax in umid dunya. Yeah, one of them is what? Qathra. Al-Qathra. Like it's too many. It's, it's imbarable. It's imbarable for a person to do. So you are radiallahu anhu. Yusra. So the sister she should pay the fidea and then if you can get it to a number of days and she can manage that she will actually fast and fast those days. So maybe she can say to her, I can go 60 okay try to get it on the 60 and then fast those 60 days. Maybe she's older. She's like look I can do that I can do what you can do and have that deal with Allah. That's great. Let's see the next question. You only answered this one but it doesn't ask. Is it simply getting married, Shayk? No. I'll say this again that's an interdisciplinary problem and there has to be like a strategy for helping people get married that's not cringey. My brother-in-law actually founded Mender. No way. I cannot help anyone I have nothing to do with it. I'm not an advisor. I absolve myself. He's my brother-in-law. That's all it is. I've heard the good and the bad and the ugly but I think also fathers especially with our daughters man we have a lot of parents especially with our daughters we have to push in not forcing them and with our sons too we have to push in what I've seen a lot and correct me if I'm wrong is that sometimes we just expect someone to marry our daughter Hans is going to show up with him frozen hands but that's Elsa she's going to show up grab my daughter and he's going to be like everything I ever could imagine. We need to be out there looking for good mature and also this will help men you got a lot of very good men a lot of very responsible men but they may be like reclusive a little bit and so if we are actively talking with people and not in a cringey way but just as mothers and fathers we step in we don't force our kids to marry them that's a problem but we recommend with a lot of pressure no pressure but at least they feel you also have to be careful because you don't want them to feel like trying to kick them out of the house but just have a conversation with them first sitting around the daughter or the son find out how best you can help them I like to ask my daughter, this is my oldest, she knows Shayna said how can I help you why? because it forces her it's like when you come home and you say how was school fine don't say that, say what was the single most transformative moment that happened today at school you got to be a lawyer man you got to be a lawyer with that my son told me why you left me that I said no I got to talk, exactly bro I want you to talk so you want to first center this around your children who are now of course adults you want to find out like I know this is our conversation but you want to create that relationship you got to push in and we tend to push on sorry we need to hurry we don't push in, push in means I step in with love, I step in being deliberate I step in being a supporter and maybe they say I'm not ready right now okay cool, I'll be back but at least they know that you are there and involved when I was in New York City and in D.C. I see a lot of young Muslims in their 30s, it's not young anymore man this is kind of walking around bro, this is walking around yeah I have no idea it's like I know I'm just making you ah something fasted you know looking you know somewhat mixiated hoping that someone will find me and that's very sad that's apparent to me to think about pushing in with love that's excellent perspective because like it's implied most of the questions like that is asked that the honest is on the single person you know what I'm saying what can I do to sort of bridge this gap what can I do as a single person or a single woman, try to try to meet people and try to bridge that so the notion of like you know what I said it's not like a top down thing but it's more of a family involved fathers and moms pushing for quality sources for their children and being involved in that way we have to appreciate that we the marriage is set up largely through Muslim culture I say this respectfully, it's pre-industrial as in pre-industrial age that we think that we still live in the village and so our approach towards marriage is not really getting the puzzle of trans-modern post-health this thing is in America so we have to think about different ways of finding potential spouses and then even even just go down one-on-one straight for about 45 minutes you're going to run right into tech central next question so the next question we have what is what are those? what are the two of my obligations in being in which you have sort of been responsible for yes, I was inconsistent in my prayers from the age 13 to 30 and I don't remember exactly which prayers I read or not how should I invest in making it up? I just gave you the accent to answer that question um you know what I'm going to let them talk shh turn on my call look, I'm asking the audience but you moved it I told you alright now is not a huge of a hard time out of us, out of this home we're like very we're very tight tight as the volume so what's the accent that we can apply that I just talked about here person writing about this we're going to say that yes sir yes sir stop it I got to go home so only I can do this for you but I love happens for man and his mother, can I tell him? yes sir his mother is my husband right now she's my daughter, sister very good sister to my family I raised my mother to my wife actually I protect her and go home with her so cut from the right abundance so you have so many prayers you got to make sure you're not short of 13 to 30 there's a lot of prayers so what you're going to do is do your best what I encourage people to do is like this every Saturday every Saturday, every two o'clock I drive this, I drive this I drive this, I drive this I drive this at least in that one month and this every Sunday this is a very real conversation Allah al-Fawad to give the books of film how do you make up for prayers you must deliver that you need this person in and then I'll see if I can make sure when you were an adult at 13 when you became responsible what I mean by here is maturation and physical insurance mentally understood and physically and then you do your best next question what we got is for variations of method equivalent to different sex if sex is frowned the SECTS if sex is frowned shouldn't different methods be as well what's the wisdom behind why we have this divide I just wanted to zoom out so you're at one of my talks right you're at one of my talks and I'll help you out you don't remember I can't even read the question yet it's a great answer I use it on my wife every time you remember what I said no but I feel it that's my bone I feel everything great answer you gave God bless you bro but what the method of different sex what makes a sex is something that differs over fundments men have to agree on the fund and those are different on secondary issues like should you put your hands here or here or here there's a lot of differences we actually welcome those differences I think if you clarify what's an example of something funded like God is one that's why we don't marry Ahmadis they don't believe in the process of the last prophet that's a fundamental issue nation to sun God appeared in the first the master part of Muhammad as a black man but when someone came to Imam Ahmadis I wrote a book he said I wrote a book called The Books of Differences the problem is that and this is not to be cat-sizing our intellectual tradition is extremely advanced and mature it's extremely mature and nuanced and after we got ransacked by the Europeans and others we've got to rebuild that we're not caught up to that level it's like Drake vs. Nas no just sorry here's an example Alan Geer vs. whoever is parking on a box on stage you're not going to catch up to it and Muslims are not patient enough to study for example when I went into study I was going to have to study for the first year magic I'm studying magic here right like I was that man Allah run be the sunnah say ma'am you've got to memorize the mangubah to sunnah the stairway because the stairway would take you to the where you need speed that's why it's called sunnah most people are not patient enough right they want to just tear things apart and that's why you should ask people now as you see people saying very destructive things attacking women attacking different groups ask them man where are you trained I saw a sheikh on Tik Tok music the doe with a beard saying the Palestinians are the reasoned Palestinians are the Palestinians no way to question that yeah the next question was when someone says something like that it's offensive it's problematic it puts the onus of oppression on the oppressed it's not historically accurate but then why would you take your dean from them right so you want to be able to ask you to move and then notice respect and if they get in their feelings there you go right like did you study this are you trained in photography have you done this what are your academic criteria now all you've got to do is study this now and they're good the leading follow-up to that question the same asker my friend I just met the follow-up to that if you could provide some context so it's helpful to understand the differences are like the different methods are different and it doesn't become kind of focused on your mind too much but graphically how should one maintain focus what is a mentality like when someone says which of them isn't correct they think I'm unbelievable I'm just a layman person kind of look in my head they kind of deal with these sort of differences so first of all we understand what are the methods that you have lost you should understand the method as we talk about it now the methods that you have not appeared they're lost they agree on foundations they differ sometimes on secondary interpretive issues because of a lot of issues that you can I think sheh abdulim the history of methods it's a great class your job is not to know that and that's the problem your job we have a great axiom it says you can edit that this is hard for people to hear that means the opinions of the scholars to you is like the Quran and Sunnah to the scholar the scholar is going to the Quran and Sunnah to get answers for you because he or she is trained but if you're not trained as long as people they're like I bought the muwatha to feel really spiritual but it's like law it's a law book it's a law of people that go like where did Bukhari from Amazon I'm lost to that joke because Bukhari Bukhari is like a sense scene of hawkins of his time he's genius till now people are finding things in Bukhari that he put they're like like this is unique highly intelligent person who didn't write Sahih Bukhari to be like top 40 he wrote Sahih Bukhari to teach you his legal opinions and to attack the enemies and his arguments not in a harsh way that's why it's like saying Amin as loud as you can in prayer because he's living in Samaritan he's a Shafi surrounded by who there's a kind of oh no I see what Bukhari writes why do you say Amin as rough or soft why do you have to go Amin is loud as you can he's trying to box academically so Bukhari is not to be read so I think first of all is there should be a list of priest words these are the sources of information that's why I started in Swiss to teach functional literacy not this functional scholarship so you're not lost in Bukhari you're building yourself up because we believe in one of our goals and she should be able to answer questions we believe that we want you to be able to start to work yourself so so that's why I think people start to think I have to know why am I in this car how do you go to law school it's hard, it's difficult so what you do is your job most responsible it all starts with you it all starts arguing with you in your space you take them to the email and you know what happens usually when you take them to the email I have to go about this event because they know they're wrong or they're just not that certain when they're certain to come at you they're not certain about themselves which means they're wrong also I'll give a great example if you're in the wrong direction you have a right and be wrong what's it really about is that you're not allowed to touch up all of a sudden that is wrong but you say you see the self stop which they and you pray and pray and hands on you you're not allowed to touch a person in Salah but again so that's where the low teacher is important okay let's go have someone else right so I wanted to comment for all the influential answers that for anything that has law schools that's really helpful and considering that sort of framework I think that's a nice but it's that way into they have quotes in the back but also the soy web is suited for safer science as an online resource for 400 hours I like it to my experience it's actually 1700 it's organized it's class level okay I'm sorry we teach each other how to watch how to work but I like to focus on pragmatic functional knowledge that's the alternative so if I look at everyone tonight I guess it's a round of applause for Shaco last time add him a big round of applause give him a beer oh you want to take it to the beer to the beer okay so goodnight everyone thanks for watching bye bye goodnight
