used to be the capital When the sheikh was born But I don't know if it's the capital now I'm not sure The sheikh is from a A poor family Sheikh was from a poor family But there was a family that was in love of knowledge And you don't really find that common in the In the Albanian community That the knowledge and the deen is like that Sheikh was from a family who loved the knowledge And gave importance to it His father, شيخ العلباني He was a marjar He was a reference point for the people He would teach them And he would guide them in their questions and their requests His father شيخ العلباني's father And حاج نوح He took his family to Dimashqa Sham To stay there After the leader of that time Whose name was Ahmed Za'u Who was the king of Albania Had deviated from the path That the country had which is some Islamic It started to adopt more secular approach His father took him from Albania And he took him to Dimashqa Sham شيخ العلباني used to always say Allah SWT has blessed me with many things And one of the things Allah has blessed me with شيخ العلباني used to say That my father Took me out from Albania And took me to Sham Dimashqa The sheikh Rahimahullah He finished his studies His primary He finished his primary دراسته الاتدائيك In مدراسة الإسعاف الخيري In Dimashqa And his passing rate was bit of a walk It was with distinction The sheikh passed greatly He was sharp as an individual His father, شيخ العلباني Used to not like this He didn't like the school system He wasn't in favor of it He didn't like it The دراسات and the مدارسة الإبامية These schools in the way they are organized He didn't like it the sheikh The father of the sheikh العلباني رحمه الله And he didn't like these schools Because of the religious angle The way that the person would lose their deal And the way it was, he didn't like it So his father made a decision That he, العلباني رحمه الله Will not finish school He took him out of the school And he plays for him من هجن علمين His father plays for him A methodology In studying the religion And شيخ العلباني in that time He studied the Quran And his father made him also study تجويد نحو and صرف So شيخ العلباني رحمه الله He studied the Quran He also studied تجويد And he also studied نحو, راما And he also studied صرف, مفولجي And he also studied فقه المدهب الحنفي He studied the مدهب The حنفي المدهب بك He did And he finished the Quran With his father And he memorized it برواية حفص العاصم He memorized the common رواية that we know The رواية of حفص عاصم The شيخ رحمه الله He studied with الشيخ سعيد البرحاني And he studied with him براقل فلاح Which is in the thick of حرف He also studied other books of language بلاغة At that time And the شيخ رحمه الله He used to give a lot of importance To making sure that he participated in the lessons And also in the seminars And conferences Of علامة بهجة البيضار شيخ بهجة البيضار شيخ العلباني used to make He used to put a lot of effort And hard work In making sure that he participated In the دروس and the ندوات The lessons And also the conferences And the seminars That were done by علامة بهجة البيضار شيخ العلباني took from his father An occupation which was Fixing watches His father used to fix watches And that's how he used to bring Risk to his family And so شيخ العلباني He studied that From his father as well And he became perfect at it شيخ العلباني فأجادها He perfected it Until he became what حتى صار بالأصحاب الشهرات فيها He became very well known for it People would come to him Over everybody else And that's where he would make his money from رحمه الله And this can show you something Which is that the Shaykh was a دقيق person دقيق means what He would look at my new details A person with fixed watches Would have to really look deep At things And so شيخ العلباني Was a person whose character was like that He was very very accurate Deep In his personality When he observed things When he looked at things رحمه الله رحمة واسعة He loved working in his profession He loved working as a what And he loved his occupation of fixing watches Because it gave him a lot of time للمطالعة والدراسة He would go and read He would have extra time left To go out To read To study And Coming to Dimash Benefit the Shaykh For him to study Arabic language very much And also to study The علوم of the Shari'a From itself Sources As I just mentioned His father Pushikh Albaani رحمه الله To study what The think of حنفي مدهب And his father was a Was a مقلد A blind follower of the مدهب الحنفي But his son محمد ناصر الدينة الألباني He didn't take that methodology like his father Shaykh Albaani used to wall Excessively From Tech lead أما التعصب المدهبي To be fanatic towards مدهب To be a person who is what Who is متعصب Who is fanatic When it came to مدهب So the Shaykh رحمه الله He directed himself In studying علم الحليف Starting the science of Harith He studied it And he started embarking on this Starting علم الحليف When he was at the age of 20 years of age And what was it that caused Shaykh Albaani to go towards Harith There was a newspaper Called بجلة المناف It's a magazine More like It's called بجلة المناف It's a magazine And this magazine Was Written by الشيخ who الشيخ محمد رشيد رضا الشيخ محمد رشيد الرضا الشيخ محمد رشيد رضا He's the one who wrote This مجلة It was produced So the Shaykh used to read it Shaykh Albaani would read the مجلة And When they saw on the مجلة مجلة المناف He saw on it That محمد رشيد رضا Was He referenced And What's his name الشيخ محمد الغزالي And as you know محمد الغزالي The Kitam Kourwat هي علوم الدين And محمد رشيد رضا He tackled What do you call أبو محمد الغزالي Authenticated a narration And speaking to him And about this regard So it really fascinated الشيخ ناصر That This was taking place in front of him He liked what he saw And The reference that محمد رشيد رضا Was using to Correct محمد الغزالي Was From a book called المغني عن محمد الأسفار في تقريج ما في نحيائي من الأخبار Returned by الإمام الحافظ زي نديل العراكي The Sheikh of Hafد محجر العراكي هذا تخرج على كتاب هي علوم الدين So محمد شيخ محمد رشيد رضا Was using the Wax and the efforts of العراكي He was a great scholar of hadith And he is a teacher of who He is a teacher of who إبنة حجر So الشيخ ناصر رحمه الله When he saw this He became happy and pleased And at that time The first book The Sheikh ناصر Started to do تخرج from Or work on Or even to direct his efforts Towards تخرج Was that كتاب This was his first كتاب With which شيخ ناصر رحمه الله He put his pen and paper on And started to write on the sides Okay And as he said He said this مجلة مجلة ربنا ربي محمد رشيد رضا He said it was a good opening for me It was فاتحة وخير It opened good doors for me رحمه الله Until it became شيخ ناصر رحمه الله الاهتمام High consideration To hadith and its sciences And he became very well known In Dimashk for this now It became very well known for hadith Authenticate narrations Looking at works He became very well known Until رحمه الله He used to come to his shop every day He would fix people's watches He would make his daily income He would buy food from some of the money that he had And the sheikh will go directly To a big مكتبة called Dimashk Dimashkis Called مكتبة الظاهرية مكتبة الظاهرية is a One of the biggest Islamic Makatin One of the biggest Islamic libraries And the sheikh رحمه الله The workers In مكتبة الظاهرية When they saw him coming back In the coming and leaving at night They made him a copy Of the مكتبة They made him a copy And they also even gave him a room This is your room No one else owns it Nobody owns it except you This is only for you So the sheikh used to sit there And he would read Every single book That he could find in the مكتبة He would Read in that مكتبة Books that were published And even books that were manuscript Books that were what? Manuscripts That have yet not been They have not been published yet They are not going It's haven't written It takes hours For you to just Understand what a sentence is شغناس رحمه الله He would read those manuscripts He would go through them And he would work on them رحمه الله رحمة واسعة As for the first book that he authored That he authored himself That was his works Not a book that he worked on The first book that he authored From his own efforts And his own work Is the كتاب تحليل ساجد متخاذ القبول بساجد Where he speaks about Placing a grave inside a masjid It's a book which is مطبور It's published Many times it got published شيخ الالباني رحمه الله His Direction towards حديث Was different from many people You might look and say to yourself Well they know حديث as well And this is the difference between him and باني شيخ الالباني رحمه الله Was a man Who you could say he was a A person of حديث And sunnah Both of them Many people you can say Is a man of حديث He busies himself in the science of حديث But شخ ناصر was what A person of حديث and sunnah رحمه الله رحمة واسعة شيخ الالباني Through his works His knowledge of حديث He used it to propagate And call to توحيد and sunnah In Syria That the scholars and the people Or the students of knowledge in Dimash Would come to شيخ ناصر And they would argue with him And they would debate with him And they would have مناقشات Or مسائل Petain to توحيد And مسائل And niqasha discussions Petain to following the sunnah Blind following People would visit him And they accused him of After not being able to discuss things with him Not being able to refute his points They referred to him as a وهابي يومبال A وهابي Misguided individual They would tell the people not to go to him When at that particular time Many other noble mashayikh and علامة Had respected him They admired his works When they saw what he came out with Such as علامة بهجة البيطار He saw شيخ الباني رحم الله's efforts الشيخ عبد الفتح الإمام Who was the رئيس جبية الشباني مسلمين في سوريا الشيخ توفيق البذرة And other than them Who are أهل الفضل والصلاح رحمه الله they saw شيخ ناصر his efforts And they praised him for his hard work If you today sit down And you listen to شيخ الباني You would be amazed of how powerful and eloquent He was in his arguments And how he was able to portray his points The person would be so much issues forward He would listen And what amazed me by شيخ ناصر Was his etiquette of how he dealt with everybody He would be quiet Sometimes you would ask yourself Is he even in the room in the debate This is a tape you're listening to or it's a recording شيخ ناصر has a lot of videos So you're listening Your question is he in the room The person might be speaking for 45 minutes Half an hour And شيخ ناصر is quiet But when he takes over The way he governs everything The way he controls the debate And the way it's going He's F and his ability to convince you And how calm he is Calm Easy the way he's talking Be no man of knowledge شيخ الالباني's speech is the most easiest When it comes to listening to it Of course he sometimes speaks لها جشامية He speaks in the dialect of Sham But his language is very easy The way he talks You would think he's a technical person The way he would speak Because he's in a technical science But it's a very simple person His آيات are to the point The way he's using the آيات To the point رحمه الله متعالى شيخ الالباني's أفت الدعوة شيخ ناصر رحمه الله متعالى His أفت الدعوة were very strong رحمه الله رحمة الواسعة The Shaykh رحمه الله His دعوة was fruitful in the following Number one He's daily lessons that he would give He would have two lessons a week The students would come And even some of the teachers of the universities would come And the books that he would teach in some of these circles were فتع المجيد The Kitab Fatua Al-Majid Which is the Shahrح of Kitab Al-Tawheed He will also teach the book الروضة اللدية Which is the Shahrح of Durar Al-Bahiyah by Shoukani And the Shahrح of Siddikh by Hassan Khan He will also teach usul al-Fiq The Kitab with Abdel Wahab and Khallaf He will also teach al-Ba'it al-Hatid Shahrح اختصر علوم الحديث by Ibn al-Kateer And the comments That he would cut the علوم الحديث by Ibn al-Kateer The Ba'it al-Hatid is by Ibn al-Shakir He will also teach the Kitab Fiq Al-Sunnah by Sayyed Sabeq And many other things The second thing that show that Shaykh's efforts in Dawah was He is traveling Shaykh رحمه الله used to travel And he would go to different cities in Syria He will travel around Syria He will stay in one place رحمه الله انتعالى He will also go to Jordan And this is before he resided in Jordan رحمه الله And Shaykh رحمه الله He also traveled to western countries Shaykh ناصر came to the UK Came and visited the UK And he did talks and lessons Shaykh ناصر showed a lot of patience And the harm that he was afflicted with When it was the year 1960 Shaykh رحمه الله He fell under the oppression of The Syrian government And they arrested him And the Shaykh was the furthest from politics He really didn't engage in politics And he didn't involve himself into politics And the Shaykh got arrested twice The first time That he got arrested رحمه الله He was arrested for one month And he was arrested in The fortresses of Dimashq And he got arrested in the same place That Shaykh and Islam got arrested This place that Shaykh للماني got arrested Was exactly the same place In which Ibn Tayma رحمه الله got arrested رحمة الواسعة The time that Shaykh ناصر spent in prison For that one month He used to give دعوة in prison He used to give دعوة to the prison guards He would give دعوة to his inmates In the prison He would call them to the sunnah To the extent that Shaykh رحمه الله He had an effect in the prison More than he had in the outer world He would speak to them about Islamic symbols The Sha'a'ir and the religion Holding on to the sunnah توحيدا عقيدا The Shaykh رحمه الله The second time the Shaykh رحمه الله So that first time he got arrested And the government saw the need to release some of the prisoners They released him رحمه الله And then after a period of time They called him back in again And this time they arrested him for 8 months And he stayed in prison The second time for 8 months But he wasn't in there قلعة و دمشق This time they didn't take him there They took him to another prison رحمه الله He stayed there for 8 months And what he did in those 8 months was He worked on the كتاب مختصر صحيح مسلم He requested if that book could be bought to him And a pen And papers And he started to note down points on the book And things of it And he started to work on it You can take the believer away from everything else But knowledge for him is what? It's like oxygen So the Shaykh رحمه الله He worked on it رحمة واسعة Shaykh ناصر The reason why he was able to achieve that Even in prison Was that he was a very sincere person Shaykh ناصر The sincerity level was very high One of the most famous statements that he used to say a lot is حب ببهور يقصب البهور He used to say Loving to be out in the open And expose yourself to the people Will break your back حب ببهور Loving to come out and show off يقصب البهور Will break your back و لذلك A man one time invited the Shaykh رحمه الله شخل باني Invited him over And he said to him Shaykh I want you to come and visit my house And then what happened was When he invited the Shaykh And told the Shaykh Please come to me He also announced it On social television He announced it And told the people Shaykh ناصر is coming to my house And the man is going to visit my house He said to the people So many people in Namba came To see the Shaykh To listen to him When the Shaykh found this part out He refused to go And some people asked him Shaykh why have you refused to go And he said حب ببهور يقصب البهور Loving to be yourself out And to be the forefront Will break your back So what needs to ask himself today Sincerity And love you to be yourself out And to be the Whenever something is done Instead of just choosing to be Maybe at the back of things To just love to be at the front It really goes against the secret Secret of success The Shaykh was also one of the things That he was very good at His أمانة في الاستشارة If somebody told him something He would keep that for them Even if whatever happened between them Later The Shaykh would never tell anyone about it Sometimes some people They have a secret of yours And they would use it in their advantage And they would use it They would use it against them One of his students one day He wanted to sell some of his books Due to financial reasons So he told the Shaykh He said Shaykh Do you think I should sell some of my books To get some financial aid And support from it Or do you believe I should be patient And what do you think The Shaykh رحمه الله He said don't sell your books Don't sell your books Don't be patient The student said The student left the Shaykh رحمه الله تعالى And then the Shaykh Sent To the man That asked him He said inform him Not to sell your بكترة Don't sell any books or any of your stuff And insha'Allah تعالى I will give you what you need financially I'll give you the money that you need I will borrow you it Until you're able to give it to me Not when I want it But until you can give it to me So this was If he was consulted And somebody told him something He would give them the best choice That he thought was the best And you have to remember رحمه الله Was financially not well off He reached a level That Shaykh الباني Never used to have paper To write on and pen إلهاد الحد من الفقر That he would sometimes write on If anybody You know The post letters That would come to him He would use that as a He would not throw them away Those papers that came to him He would use those papers To benefit from it as paper And to write on The تخليج of the حليث on it Some of his تخليج And some of his authentication of the حليث Were written on some post papers Because of the fact that The Shaykh didn't have money One of the things that Shaykh ناسر Was very unique in Was ادقة في المواعيد الله أكبر He was precise When he came to promises He gave you his word And he told you Something was going to happen He was دقيق on that ادقة في المواعيد Promises that he gave them And he gave were precise رحمه الله و تعالى
