 فشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بدا بدا وياله من شراف العظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثلاث الجميل وشكل الله إلا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحقا وهو يهد السبيل وشد عند سيد الله ونبيه لحمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله واصحابه والتابعين لهم بحساني للا يوم الدين أما بعد as it's the norms of the scholars when they want to go through a book they will always talk about the biography of the author of that book and the book that we are going to stop in like a dream is called lawakul islam the nullifier is of Islam and the book is written by Muhammed and Sheikh Muhammed ibn abduhuhaab رحمه الله تعالى so it's necessary that we have an idea of who he is and understand a bit about his biography عليه رحمه الله in reality my beloved brothers and sisters the biography of an Imam Muhammed ibn abduhuhaab is actually considered a practical example of the application of seraphiyah on this earth today we read in the book of al-Aqlida what a seraphiyah needs to believe or a person from the sunnah of jama'a should believe but you may ask yourself at times what the application of seraphiyah is how would seraphiyah manifest on this earth Sheikh Muhammed ibn abduhuhaab رحمه الله to عرده بثارة الحياة والتعية القريبة بما يرغب اليوم بالطريقة السرفية the part that is seraphish is hate should he lobby into politics should he fight his way through everything and kill innocent women and children should he should he or should he sit down and educate the people and teach them that to heed and purify them from shit and nurture them upon tawheed and eradicate and get rid of shirk is that the part that he should take when we look together which is it that he used to do without a shadow of doubt it started later that we need to educate the people we need to teach the people we need to teach them the two most important things at tawheed al-Sunnah and the thing that we need to warm up against is a shirk and innovation and once that is done it could lead to and it could bring about bring about to keep for the believers Allah is making them step faster this year and making them the upper hand over the enemies now some people nowadays will look at that and say that is a joke that that can even happen by sitting in the message and teaching books and sitting in the message and educating the people are you really serious and you think that's going to bring you back and make you do it is that Allah for the believers again he is an example and a shout for that a person who did take that part who did do that who made sure that when he told the people was asr al-Musul the fundamentals of their religion and he did bring about Allah for the Muslims so Muhammad Abdul Wahab studying him is actually studying the application of a salafiyah and like this does not just remain as a theoretical thing when we start the biography of Muhammad himself we have to speak about the environment and the type of place that he came to where he came in the peninsula before the birth of the sheikh I will now Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Wahab he was born when the year was 1150 1150 and jazeera to al-Arab at that particular time as the scholars who were there were alive at that particular time spoke about like Hussain al-Mu'allam and Al-Ahsa'i he is a very famous Al-Mu'arrakh Al-Shahid he is a very famous historian who lived at that particular time and he is an individual Hussain al-Mu'allam and Al-Ahsa'i was an individual who became affected by the Al-Mu'allam he lived through it رحمه الله so what he did was he wrote a history that took place at that time how the Arabian Peninsula was prior to the death of the sheikh رحمه الله رحمه الله رحمه الله many others also spoke about the Arabian Peninsula and even at that time how Yemenen was as well and Imam Amir al-Sara'ali Muhammad al-Amir al-Sara'ali the author of the Kitab سول السلام بشخه بروغ الهراء And Imam Amir al-Sara'ali and Imam Amir al-Sara'ali also spoke about the Arabian Peninsula and how his situation was because Muhammad Al-Amir al-Sara'ali is more of a senior to the Muhammad Abdul-A'im he is older than Muhammad Abdul-A'im even though they didn't meet in Italy they met each other in Italy but of course Imam Amir al-Sara'ali was older at the age also from the scholars who spoke about the Arabian Peninsula من داعو شرحم حال عبل هاد was Hussein and Nourmi Hussein and Nourmi is from the Runa'a of Yemen Also, all of those which I mentioned Hussein غال النام والاحسائي and the Ameer al-Sana'i and Hussein and Nourmi all of them, they all mention that the situation of the people at that time قبل أن يدعوه الشرحة العبناء بس امتشار الشرح والضلالات وراء الشرح وراء المساعدة امتشار الشرح امتشار امتشار لسيما في جزيرة عام امتشار في ريبير كنيد سلاح الناس يوشيبون يوشيبون في دومs يوشيبون في شرائد ويوشيبون في دومs الرقام والرقام الناس عملت إلى dishes الناس وعددت إلى جان near الناس يوشيبون في�باب يوشيبون في الأحجار يوشيبون في تفضل اكثر ع DOM وفي ذلك الوقت العدو كان الفيديو Damian يكلمون الولايات يعني أنهم يكلمون أنهم are إله و أنهم أولياء من الله سبحانه وتعالى يكلمون أنهم أولياء من الله مجيشين و فورتون تلسبرت and of course this was not exclusive to the Arabian peninsula alone it wasn't specific to them they other countries in the world shared that with them and this actually was spreading even more at the later stages of the Ottoman Empire the Ottoman Empire at its later stages it never used to give importance to Aqeed and Tahrheed in the first place but it got worse as time went on and at the later stages of the Ottoman Empire they actually started to what they started to spread Sufism, Al-Bida'a, Al-Balalat, Misguidance and etc the place that the Sheikh Rahim Allah was born, Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul-Ahab it alone that particular place that he was from which is Uriayna there were 17 trees trees تقصدوا من دون الله that were called unto besides Allah and the people would worship this is where this is a place that the Sheikh was born and that place used to have a famous famous قباب which was very well known in جزيرة العرب جزيرة العرب had one قباب it had one shrine that there was no other shrine like it and this was the one it was the Qubba of Zaid ibn Al-Khattab it used to be in a place called جبيرة this was the biggest shrine that they had it is أكبر القباب والاضرحة that the people used to go to and attend and worship besides Allah and they used to ask they used to seek refuge in Zaid ibn Al-Khattab even in a place called منفوحة in a place called منفوحة there was a فحلو نخلين مشهورين يسمى فحلو الفحول there was another shrine called فحلو الفحول and the women who couldn't have children the Awanis the women who couldn't have children they would go to those places and they would or the women who were single sorry the women who were single they would go there and they would ask for a husband they would say يا فحل الفحول أريد زوجا قبل الحول أو فحل الفحول I want a husband before the 2 year cycle goes by but I want a husband give me a husband درعية which is the place that the author was as I said it had how many trees 17 from them is مقام تاج الععمة the people used to come to this shrine there was even a cave that Awat إليه أميرا a princess went into and then the people started to a princess went into this cave so what they did was they started to go to that cave they called it كهف الأميرا they used to also take that they used to wash it there as well there was a قبط الضرارب الأزور which was in شعب غبيرا all of these things is what gives you an idea of the time and the way the people were living and this was a فترة مظلمة a dark era a dark time a shirk had spread where shipping besides Allah was spreading and it spread so the Shaykh رحمه الله he spoke about this in his books and in his works and also the scholars that I mentioned they also spoke about all of this so even his grandchildren they spoke about these things they knew these things were happening his grandchildren محمد عبد الوهاب his name is محمد عبد الوهاب ابن السليمان ابن عالي التميمي الحملي نجدي the scholars they spoke about the biography of the Shaykh and the best person who spoke about his biography and gave the best history about the author رحمه الله محمد عبد الوهاب is مؤرخ الأحصاء the historian of the أحصاء his name is رحمه الله رحمه الله he has a book called تاريخ ونجد and of course the name is longer than that the book's name is longer than that but it's short for تاريخ ونجد if you take the first volume of the book تاريخ ونجد the first volume he only speaks about the translation of the Shaykh nothing else he just talks about the first volume it's only about محمد عبد الوهاب and حسيني من غنام الحصائي was actually with the Shaykh and the Shaykh رحمه الله requested from him the Shaykh asked him حسيني من غنام الحصائي he asked him if you could actually write the biography of the Shaykh and not only that the history of things that are happening because the Shaykh was very sharp he could see that people were going to make up lies against him so he made sure that the incidents and everything that had happened was documented it was written رحمه الله and حسيني من غنام الحصائي he was from the people who gave victory to the Shaykh's Dawah he was affected by that Dawah and he made sure that the تاريخ was written a lot of the people who talk about the biography of the Shaykh haven't read this book they read orientalist books and then they judge محمد عبد الوهاب based on that also from the people who wrote about the biography of the Shaykh is أثماني بروبشن رحمه الله he has a book called عنوان المجد he spoke about it in the book of his also the scholars that spoke about the Dawah of the Shaykh and the Shaykh himself and gave us a better about who he was is his own children and his offspring the آئمة الدعوة المجدية the scholars that come out from his legacy and his works so if you go to the كتاب الدورة العسلية you will find in the كتاب الدورة العسلية the آئمة الدعوة المجدية what they mentioned about the Shaykh رحمه الله و تعالى so there are many places that you can see from him even ألمام الشوكاني محمد ملعلي الشوكاني who is the student of محمد أمير الصلعالي he also spoke about it also the even the famous إجبشن هستوريان جبرتي the famous إجبشن هستوريان جبرتي he also talked about the تاريخ and the biography of the الشيخ رحمه الله و تعالى الشيخ محمد عبد الهام and the دعوة of the Shaykh رحمه الله as I said before the Shaykh was born when the year was 1115 هجريان he was born in a place called بلده that's where he was born which is a place very close to رياض and it is 70 km 70 km from رياض right now the Shaykh رحمه الله as it's well known he took knowledge from his father number one his father was Qadi he was a judge of عييلة and his grandfather was an علم that he would be called his grandfather his grandfather was called مفتي دياري اللجدية that's the name that his grandfather had which is the مفتي of all of the one of the elite scholars of that time one of the most famous scholars of that time حسانة تميمي he took the Shaykh under his wing he took the Shaykh under his wing and he made sure he educated and taught him شيخ محمد بن عبد الوهاب قد ظهرت عليه علامات اللجابة and a very young age size of amazement a unique characteristic started to show up from him at a very early stage in his life the Shaykh رحمه الله was excessively in love with the works of Shaykh الاسلام ابن الوهامة he would read those works he would read the works of ابن القيم الجوزية and Shaykh محمد بن عبد الوهاب was his brain was sharp and it was strong مفرقة في ذكاء and his intelligence was profound and his IQ level was high رحمه الله الله opened for Shaykh محمد بن عبد الوهاب many sciences and the knowledge of the religion الله opened a lot for him الله سبحانه وتعالى allowed him to really love and give time to تفسير and hadith and fiq the Shaykh looked into all of those and the Shaykh رحمه الله he looked at the people of his time he looked at the current situation of the people of his time رحمه الله and he realized أن أكثر ما يراه من هذه الأحوال he saw that the majority of the things that he sees that his people are in are مخالفا لما جاء في الكتاب و السنة is in opposition to that which the Kitab and the Sunnah has come with and the Shaykh found that majority of the people in which he had found كانوا على خلاف ما أمر الله عز وجل are in opposition to that which Allah commanded in what in sub branch لا he saw that they were in opposition to what Allah commanded في أصل الأصول in the most fundamental thing of the religion في توحيد الله و إفراده بالعبادة that they were in opposition to Allah's command in توحيد and singling Allah in عبادة and the Shaykh رحمه الله he was one who would revise these issues and would discuss these issues excessively who would talk about it he would bring it to the people's attention he even discussed this with his father and he brought it to his father's attention and many discussions took place between him and his father when the Shaykh reached 80 years of age as it was mentioned by his Hafeed Grandson الشيخ عبد الرحمن ابن حسن ابن محمد عبد العب as he mentioned that the Shaykh went to do Hajj to the house of Allah it was 18 of the 80 years of age the Shaykh made the decision of going to do Hajj when he came to Hajj he begged at this moment when he went to Hajj he had a decision in his heart which is to call to Allah that was the decision he made so when he went to the and this of course made the reason why he chose to do دعوة and he chose to stand up to do دعوة is because of the balance the misguidance and the ignorance that he saw very common amongst the people so when he came to the Kaaba he stood between الرقل والباب and he begged and he lifted his hands up in the air and he asked Allah سبحانه و تعالى to give him the ability that Allah strengthens him و أن يشرح له صدورة الناس and he also asked Allah that Allah opens the people's hearts for him and that Allah aids him in conveying his دعوة and you have to imagine he's only 80 years of age and you need to ask yourself what are our 80 year olds doing now this is how he was thinking he had this he had this high aspiration at the age of 18 the sheikh who wants to place on his shoulders the guiding of these people and he sees that he wants to take them out of the ظلمات the darkness that they are in and the misguidance that they are upon to the light of توحيد and Sunnah but the sheikh knew that that can't be done that a person can't go out and educate other people if he himself doesn't have anything so the sheikh realized that he knew that as they say فاقيدو شيء الله يرطي one who doesn't have can't give so the sheikh embarked on seeking knowledge and meeting the ظلمات and revising with the scholars and he went to many places in the Muslim world he went to أحصاء he went to Iraq he went to Makkah he went to Medina and he benefited from the scholars of those places he went to he truly benefited from two noble scholars in Medina two great علماني كميراني two big scholars in Medina which he benefited from the first one is the great Indian scholar محمد حيات السلدي محمد عبدالله benefited from محمد حيات السلدي and he benefited because محمد حيات السلدي was from them من المحدثين الكبار محمد حيات السلدي محمد حيات السلدي was from the senior and the elite scholars of Hadith of that time and محمد حيات السلدي عقيدة was in line with عقيدة أهل السنة والجبعة before even محمد عبدالله had embarked on this dawa and دعوة سلفية and دعوة توحيد was already present in India India had already they already had دعوة سلفية and دعوة أهل السنة والجبعة still going on in India at that time but we will speak about it later while many people were calling to توحيد like حسين النعمي and محمد عمير الصغعالي and many scholars in India why they didn't succeed why were their dawa not as effective as the dawa محمد عبدالله we will speak about that إن شاء الله تعالى the second person which he benefited from in Medina was عبدالله إبراهيم وبنو سيف and Najdi in Medina who is from the great scholars of that time as well الشيخ رحم الله he travelled to Basra every single place that he went to الشيخ محمد عبدالله استفاد فيه استفاد منه he would benefit from that place and he would benefit from the scholars of that place and he would also leave with that he would leave that land with books he would leave with books that day he would take from them when the الشيخ رحم الله came to Ahsa he stayed with a man by the name of محمد عبدالله and with محمد عبدالله were the books of الشيخ الإسلام محمد عبدالله so the sheikh what he did was he took many of the books from him and the way that the books would be taken from someone is not that you can take the original copy you would have to rewrite from the original copy you would have to rewrite it fully so the sheikh he copied from محمد عبدالله the books of الشيخ الإسلام but this individual محمد عبدالله he became after that he became from the greatest he became these torch enemies of the sheikh he became the mortal enemies of the sheikh he wanted to see the الشيخ رحم الله go so he became when the sheikh became clear he showed enmity and hate towards the sheikh the sheikh's brain and his knowledge and his قوة in his proofs are present in his works the sheikh he authored the كتاب التوحيد which today is عملة في التدريس الجانعة universities you go to these are the books I have taught you go to circles of knowledge this book is taught the sheikh authored كتاب التوحيد which is عملة it's a backbone it's a backbone for a person of the sunnah it's a backbone for a person who holds on to عقيدة هني سنة والجباء backbone for them the sheikh authored this in بصرة he authored it in بصرة وكان عمره على ذاك and his age at that time was خمسة وعشرين سنة 25 years of age he authored this بخرحم الله who was only 25 years of age and events and things took place in front of the sheikh رحم الله due to this these journeys that the sheikh embarked on in which he took and he's traveling and the lessons and the benefits that he was given to the community without a shadow of doubt the sheikh was harmed because of it the book he wrote he got harmed for that when he was in بصرة and lessons that were going on he got harmed for that and he did not reach the age of 25 رحمه الله he's at 25 حتى تشارت سيتو في جزيرة العربية his name his reputation is being spoken about in corners of the Arabian peninsula people are speaking about a young boy 25 years بحيث كود محمد عبد الوهان in تشارت سيتو و أصبح الناس when people started to speak about him talk about him and they would speak about him as a young boy a fresh student of knowledge that's what they would refer to him who refused and rejects the evil that the people are upon in worshipping the dead the calling and the supplicating of other than Allah looking for barakah in rocks and stones and trees and this man this young boy تعظيم الكتاب و السنة venerating glorifying the book of Allah honoring the evidences when they brought to you following the textual evidences ترك التقلي stay away from life following and anything like that so the sheikh رحمه الله فنتشارت سيتو وجرت له أحداث رحمه الله the sheikh رحمه الله his name his reputation his honor spread amongst the people when the year was 1139 after the sheikh رحمه الله he came from Basra he came to Uyayna he came from Basra and the sheikh came to Uyayna he found that his father his father had a conflict with the leader of Uyayna the leader of Uyayna and the father of the sheikh Muhammad Abdullah his father they basically had a problem and a conflict so his father left his father left what his father left Uyayna and his father went to Huraymila his father went to Huraymila so when his father went to this place in Huraymila then Muhammad Abdullah would have to go with his father so he went with his father in Huraymila when the year was 1140 and they stayed and remained in Huraymila the sheikh busy himself in knowledge educated the people sending letters writing to scholars of the neighboring cities and the neighboring villages he would write to them the sheikh did not hear of any scholar whatsoever wherever he may be he certainly tried to write a letter to him in the جزيرة العرب he would speak to them about these issues and the sheikh would give a lot of importance by bringing evidences for what he said he would bring no source from the كتاب and the سنة and the آثار of the سلف he would bring textual evidences from the كتاب he would bring textual evidences from the سنة he would bring proofs from the statement of the سلف and the positions of the سلف the sheikh he gave a lot of consideration to the textual evidences that were transmitted to us from the سلف he used to give a lot of importance to that and of course you guys are all going to see the sheikh was somebody who they used to be amazed with how he could do استحبار of evidences like how he could bring نقال الله قال الرسول as soon as he needed it he became مثار استغرابا somebody they became amazed with and fascinated with because his memorization was sharp he knew his evidences every issue that he held a position in he knew who agreed with him on this so he used to write to them he would debunk their doubts that they would bring to him رحمه الله تعالى when the year was 1153 هجرية the sheikh's father passed away and so when your father died you always know that this leaves a vacuum for people to come and harm you so what happened was the people of Haraymila they started to benefit from this opportunity so they started to harm the sheikh
