He was unjustly killed. Those who have killed him have been caught. So insha'Allah وتعالى our khutbah is to speak about this topic as حاجة الأمة the need that the ummah have إلى العلماء to the scholars. And those who have killed him unjustly ظلمن وعدوانا where would they go in front of الله سبحانه وتعالى the day of judgment. الله سبحانه وتعالى he says in the Quran إن الذين يكفرون بآيات الله those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ويقتلون النبيين بغير حق and they kill the prophets unjustly. ويقتلون الذين يأمرون بالقصة من الناس and they also kill those who call to justice those who call to the book of Allah of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and they kill them. الله who says فبشرهم بعذاب أليم give those people a glad hiding of a severe punishment of the Hellfire who do they kill? they kill the prophets and they kill those who call to good those who warn the people from destruction, deviation, shirk, bid'a and since they kill them give glad tidings to those people فبشرهم بعذاب أليم أولئك الذين حبتت أعمالهم those people their actions have been nullified في الدنيا in this world والآخر أن ينهي رافتا وما لهم من ناصرين and they have no one giving them victory so killing an innocent Muslim itself has a big serious place in our religion how about if a person kills an alem من علماء السنة الإمام ابن رجا بالحمب رحمه الله he has a little risala and he called it ورثة الأنبياء and he explains the Hadith of Abu Darda in Musnadima Muhammad very small book that a person can read in couple of hours ابن رجا بالحمه الله he comments on this ayah and he says وليهاد المعنى كان أشد الناس عذابة the people who have the severest punishment and from the people who have the severest punishment the day of judgment is من قتل نبيا the one who close the prophets why لأنه سعى في الأرض بالفساد because that person has strived on this earth to be corruption to this earth what he is working towards is corruption ومن قتل عالماء and anyone who kills a scholar who is what the scholar is a خليفة النبي he has taken the place of the prophet he has inherited the prophet this Ummah is not like the previous nations because the previous nations كلما مات النبي every time a prophet died الله will bring them another prophet as for this Ummah the ones who have taken the places of the prophet are the علاماء the scholars the people of knowledge so you've killed the people who have inherited the prophet the sheikh went on to sayen وليهاد قرن الله بين قتل أنبياء وقتل العلماء الامرين بالمعروف في قولي تعالى ويقتلون الذين يأمرون بالقصة من الناس فبشرهم باعدة بنالين الله he mentions the scholars right next to the prophets when it comes to killing them because they are the ones who are standing in the places of the prophets إخواني فقد العالم losing one scholar is a مصيبة it's a affliction الله has afflicted a nation with if they lose a scholar and if they lose a person of knowledge وهي رادة it is من أعظم المصائب rather it is from the greatest afflictions that a nation can go through our self our pious predecessors they realized that and they knew that it was serious they lose a scholar الإمام الحسن البصين رحم الله he said موت العالم the death of a scholar is a thelma it's a problem it's a place no one can fulfill he's absent it's an empty space that no one is able to fulfill unless a person of knowledge of course comes and takes that place في الإسلامي لا يسدها شيء المختلف الليل والنهر nothing can take that place if you and I die today there are probably many better than us and greater than us that are gonna come but when a scholar passes away and he goes that place is empty and that gives the freedom of shaitan to exercise his misguidance to the people ابن القيم الجوزية رحمه الله he has a book called مفتاح دار السعادة ابن القيم says لما كان صلاح الوجود بالعلماء when it became the existence of these people it's righteousness it's connected to the scholars for us to be prosperous and good and righteous it's connected to the scholars ولو لا هم and if it wasn't for the scholars كان الناس كان البهائم the people would be like the cattle the animals بل أسوأ وحالن rather we may even be worse than the animal أسوأ ابن القيم رحمه الله he said in his same book مفتاح دار السعادة he said أما العلماء بالله as for the scholars who know Allah سبحانه وتعالى they know Allah سبحانه وتعالى تعالى الشرائع the legislation that he has passed وأمره and they know the commands that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given فهم حيات الوجود they are the life of our existence وروحه ولا يستغن عنهم طرفة عين and we are the and we are we can't live without them even a split second we can't exist without them عبد الله ابن عباس when it came to the آية أولا يروا أننا نأتي الأرض ننقصها من أطرافها الله says do they not see that we will reduce from the earth we will take from it عبد الله ابن عباس said in this آية he commented in some of the that was brought from him ابن عباس خرابها بموتع علمائها وفقائها وأهل الخير منها the destruction that comes to this earth means the death of the scholars and the jurists and the فقائها and the righteous people amongst them and also مجاهد ابن جبر who سفيان الثوري said إذا جاءك تفسيروا مجاهد فحسبك به if the تفسير of مجاهد comes to you that is enough مجاهد said that the آية is referring to موت العلماء and the death of the scholars and the scholars come into an end هلال ابن خباب he said I came to my teacher سعيد ابن جبير سعيد ابن جبير was a student of عبد الله ابن عباس he said I came to him and I said to him سأل to ابن جبير I asked سعيد ابن جبير سعيد ابن جبير is the student of عبد الله ابن عباس he said to him يا عبد الله ما علامة هلالك الناس what is the sign that the people are going to be destroyed and then he said اذا هلك علاماءهم if the scholars die if the scholars die that is when the destruction will come to a nation so a destruction of a nation is connected to what they are leaving and the absence of the scholars ولذلك a poet he said الارض تحيا إذا ما عاش عالمها متى يموت عالم ما منها يموت طرفه كالارض تحيا إذا ملغيث حل بها وإن أبا عاد في أقنافها التلفل which is that which he took from the line the ayah أولا ميرو أن نأتي الارض ننقصها من أطرافها إما محمد said الناس محتاجون the people are in need إلى العلمة to knowledge أكثر من حاجته more than they are in need of إلى الطعام والشرا more than they need food and drink the people need knowledge more than they need food and drink why? لأن الطعام والشرا because food and drink يحتاجوا إليه في اليوم مرة the person may need to drink and to eat food maybe once a day twice three times or twice والعالم as for the scholar يحتاجوا إليه بعدد and fast as for the scholars the person needs that scholar as many times as he breathes الإمام الأجر رحمه الله I think he described the need of the scholars heavily greatly masha Allah he said فما ظنكم رحمكم الله بطريق فيه آفات كثيرة he said what do you think a path that has a lot of phones and it has ditches and harmful things are on the road ويحتاجوا الناس إلى سروك في ليلة الظالماء and the people they need to go on this road at night they have to فإن لم يكن فيه مصابح if they don't have a candle a light something to shine وإلا تحييروا the people will be confused they won't know what direction to go فقيض الله لهم فيه مصابح تضيع لهم and Allah then makes for them and gives them a candle or a light something in which they can use in that dark path at night so they got it فسلكوا على السلامة and they tread on that path with peace and peace because they could see everything ثم جاءت طبقات and another people wanted to come لا بود لهم من سروك فيه and they also want to take that path فسلكوا they also took that path فبينما هم كذلك but whilst those second group that came were taking the path and they were on the path اضطفئة المصابح the light was taken away from them فبقوا في الظلمة and they remained in the darkness فما ظنكم بهم what do you think of those people what do you think those people are going to go through if the light is taken from them and it's pitch dark هكذا العلمات that's the scholars في الناس in the people لا يعلموا كثيروا من الناس a lot of the people don't know كيف أداء الفرائض how to do the obligatory acts they don't know وكيف اتشتنابوا المحاريمي and how to stay away from the prohibitive things وكيف يعبد الله and how Allah is واشبت في جميع ما يعبده بخلقه they don't also know how to واشب الله in many of the things that the people should واشب الله with except through who إلا ببقاء العلماء except with the scholars to remain with them فإذا ما تنوا علماء if the scholars die تحيّر الناس the people become confused they don't know if the scholars die تحيّر الناس the people become confused ودرس العلم and knowledge will perish brothers بموتهم due to their deaths وظهر الجهل ignorance will prevail and it will show فإنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون مصيبة ما أعظمها على المسلمين it is a great مصيبة that afflict a nation and a people إمام البخار رحمه الله الإمام المسلم most of them narrated by the authority of عبد الله بن عمر بن عاص رضي الله تعالى عنهما عبد الله بن عمر بن عاص he said that the professor عليه السلام he said إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزعا ينتزعه من صدور الرجال ولكن يقبض العلم بقض العلماء حتى إذا لم يبقى عالما الله does not take knowledge from the people it doesn't take it away from them but it takes them by taking the scholars until there is no scholar left إتخذ الناس the people they start to take رؤوسا جوهالا they start to take leaders who are ignorant they see them as they are Mufti and scholars and they refer to those people as their علماء and their people of knowledge فسوئلوا فأفتوا بغير العلم فضلوا وأضلوا and so then those ignorant ones because they think they've been made leaders they give fatwa and they answer questions so they misguide themselves and they misguide those who are around them الإمام أبو بكر محمد ابن الوليد الترتوش رحمه الله يزبو called الحوادث والبداع في that book he commented on this particular hadith and he brought a benefit out of it which I'm going to read on you إن شاء الله انتعالى he said فتدبر هذا الحديث پوندا on this hadith فإنه يدلوا this hadith indicate على أنه لا يؤتنناس قطن من قبل علماء this hadith پوندا on it look at it and analyze it why? because this hadith indicates that the people a problem will not come to them through their scholars we're not afflicted problems and suffering and misguidance doesn't come to us from the scholars ها هوا يدزل وإنما يؤتننا but rather it comes to them من قبال أنه إذا ما تعلم أون but the problem comes to them when their scholars die افتا ما ليس بيعاليم a fatwa is then given by a person who is not a scholar فيؤتنناس من قباله and then the problem comes to them from this individual وقد صرف عمر هذا and he said عمر he done تصريف of this issue تصريف فقال ما خان أمين قطن ولكنه تومين غي أمين فخان عمر رضي الله عنه that a trustworthy one does not deceive but the one who deceived was not one who was trustworthy in the first place you gave it to the wrong person ونحن نقول and we will also say ما بتدع علم قط a scholar never innovates ولكنه استفدية but the problem is you asked fatwa you asked a question too من ليس بيعاليم in a person who wasn't a scholar فضل وأضل he misguided himself and he misguided you and that is why ربيعة الرأي ربيعة ابن عبد رحمان شيخ إمام ماليك he cried one day إمام ماليك said بك ربيعة يومة ربيعة الرأي cried one day بكان شديد and severely and then it was said to him أموصي but نزلت بك are you afflicted with a severe problem and then he said لا لا ولكنه استفدية من ليس بيعاليم the reason I am crying is because fatwa was asked by a person who was not of a knowledge this is إمام ماليك's teacher who is saying that fatwa was asked by a person who has no knowledge that is at the time of إمام ماليك if he was to see this time what you have said الزبير ابن عدي رضير رحمه الله he said أتينا أنس ابن ماليك and we came to أنس ابن ماليك and this was the time of حجاج ابن يوسف الثقافي حجاج ابن يوسف killed 120,000 people how many 120,000 people he killed so this man was a tyrant individual so they came to أنس ابن ماليك and they said أنس look at what we are going through regarding حجاج and then he said إسبيرو be patient فإنه لا يأتي زمان would be patient he did not say to them do arab spring uprise demonstrate he didn't say that he said إسبيرو be patient فإنه لا يأتي زمان because there won't come a time إلا والذي بعده أشر منه حتى تلقوا ربكم there won't come a time except the one after it is going to be worse until you meet your lord be patient this hadith ابن حجر in فتر الباري the 13th volume 13th volume page 26 to page 29 ابن حجر رحمه الله he mentions that this hadith is تشكرة بعض الناس this hadith it brought doubts to some people because this hadith says that there doesn't come a time except that the time after it is worse but then this hadith is an ishqal it's a question to some people why حجاج time was worse than the time of عمر ابن عبد العزيز and عمر ابن عبد العزيز came later عمر ابن عبد العزيز came he came later and حجاج was fast but the hadith says there doesn't come a time except the one after it is worse this ishqal or this issue or this misunderstanding عبد الله and this is what we want he says من حجر فأخر جي عقوب من أبي شيبة من طريق الحارث ابن حصيرة عن زيد ابن وهب يقول عبد الله من المسعود يقول عبد الله من المسعود he said لا يأتي عليكم يوم إلا وهو شر من اليوم الذي كان قبله حتى تقوم الساعة they will not come a day except that the day after it is worse then he said let's do it I don't mean I do not mean رخاء من العيش that your life to be fruitful and you're going to have a nice rainy day and it's going to be a beautiful day no ولا ما لن you feed and it is not because you're going to gain money ولكن لا يأتي عليكم يوم but it means that they won't come a day إلا هو أقل علم من اليوم الذي قبله except that the day that comes after it there is less knowledge حجاج may have been a tyrant leader and عمر عبد العزي of course was a just individual but the time of حجاج they were more Sahaba at the time of حجاج then they were at the time of عمر عبد العزي and this is what the hadith is referring to the goodness of a nation is the existence of the scholars it means the existence of the scholars أقولوا ما تسمعون وأستغفروا الله لي ولكم وليسائر المسلمين من كل ذنبي فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد للحسن والثاناء والثاناء الجميل وشدوا الله إله إلا الله وحده ولا شريك له يقولوا الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وسحبه وانتبع عن بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إخواني إذا العلمة يذهب وإن الناس يذهب سوف يرى أكثر و فتن وملاحم خطوات سوف يتبع وانتبع سوف يتبع بحسان اللعنة the Prophet SAW told him the hour will be فإذا وضعتin أمانة فانتظر الساعة if the Amana is placed in the wrong hand wait for the hour or if the Amana is forsaken and the Sahabah said كيف إضعتوها? how will the Amana be forsaken? the Prophet SAW said إذا وسيد الأمر إلى غيره فانتظر الساعة when the matters are placed in the wrong people they wait for the hour to strike أحد خلافات ألمام الشاطبي في كتاب العتصام ألمام الشاطبي يكلم that the disunity that causes the Muslims to divide and disunity he mentions three things are the reasons Three reasons The first one is ترئيس الجهلة ترئيس الجهلة to make the ignorant's leaders to make the ignorant ones leaders and that is what he says in this كتاب العتصام he says that this is from the signs of the hour and that the Muslims will be disunited is أن يعتقد الإنسان في نتسه أو يعتقد فيه أنه من أهل العلم و الاجتهاد في الدين و لم يبلغ تلك الدرجة فيعمل على ذلك و يعمل على ذلك و يعد رأيه رأيا و خلافه خلافه that a person thinks of himself he thinks of himself or others around him think of him that he is from the people of knowledge and the people of اجتهاد and then what happens but he hasn't really reached that و لم يبلغ تلك الدرجة and he hasn't really reached that level of علم و الرسوخ و اجتهاد he hasn't reached it and then based on that people start to make him عالم and they start to implement that thought and so what do they do when you عد رأيه رأيه they start to consider his opinions and opinion so they'll say the scholars they differ in this issue what scholars and they'll say he's not a scholar و يعد خلافه خلافه and he's disagreement with the scholars will be said the scholars they differ in this issue or they agreed on it so this is one of the aspects and this only occurs when a scholar dies people start to push another person in a place people start to push another person in a place and also what happens is and that causes is seems increasing amount and سبحانه و تعالى the messenger من أشراط الساعة from the size of the hour أن يقل العلم knowledge becomes less و يظهر الجهل ignorance becomes more و يظهر الزنا and the zina prevails and it shows و تكثر النساء and the women they become more in number و يقل الرجال and the men become less حتى يكون لخمسين مرأة until 50 women for one man so here we have زنا increasing why did the prophet mention it in the context of knowledge going because these sins they come when the Ulama go and you see and you live in a time today where things you think to سبحان الله there are people saying يجوز and this only comes brothers when we lose the people of knowledge the prophet SAW said لا يكون لن من أمتي أقوام يستحلون الحرا والحريرة والخمر والمعازف ولا ينزلن أقوام يجوح عليهم بساريحة لهم يأتيهم يعني الفقير لحاجة فيقول إرجع علينا غدا فيبيتهم الله و يضع العالم و يمسحر آخرين قرادة و الخنازيرة إلى يوم القيامة that they go to come a time where people make halal for themselves they will make halal for themselves زنا يستحلون الحرا والحريرة حرا من زنا they will make halal for themselves زنا والله there is now a fatwa that some are saying that زنا is haram but boyfriend and girlfriend is permissible and as time goes on the other one starts to come into place عجائب and we have people who are pushing in the west that the علامة don't know our waka the scholars they don't know the reality that we're living in the scholars don't understand so what do they want? they want to place themselves as the scholars of knowledge that the people come back to them و يعد رأيهم رأية و خلافهم خلافها نسأل الله ثبات على الحق و العزيمة على الرشد ربنا غفلنا ذروبنا و إصرافنا في أمرنا و ثبت أقدامنا و نصرنا على القوم الكافيرين اللهم غفلنا هزلنا وجدنا و خطانا و عمدنا و كل ذلك عندنا يا رب العالمين اللهم لا تجعل الدنيا أكبر هم منها لا تصلط علينا بذروبنا بل لا يخاف كفينا ولا يرحمنا ربئات نفوسنا تقواها و زكها أن تخيل من زكاها أن توليها و مولاها ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة و في الآخرة حسنة و قلع عذاب النار أنه ياصك الله سبحانه وتعالى تفجيف آو الشيخ عبد الرحمن ابن مرع العدني هو دايد اللهم لا ألوبيت سيستيتز مع النبيين و الشهداء والصالحين و حسنة أولئك رفيقة أن أفريع عالم العلماء السنة هو دايد و الله سبحانه وتعالى
