 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بدا بدا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل واشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد هذا إن شاء الله وتعالى هو the second part on the explanation of the book القصيدة الهائية في الزهد والترغيب والترغيب للشيخ حافظ ابن أحمد الحكمي رحمه الله تعالى بأوثا وانتسيين رحمه الله تعالى فسأل ربي أن يحول بحوله وقوته بينه وبين اغتيالها he says فأسأل ربي I ask my lord الله سبحانه وتعالى أن يحول بحوله that Allah سبحانه وتعالى gets in between me and this dunya before it destroys me that he doesn't سبحانه وتعالى leave this dunya for it to enter into my heart for me to love and appreciate this dunya that I become a person who you are Allah you divert from him the desires and the want of this dunya so the author here is making a dua and he's making a dua from this dunya and he's affirming that this dunya is one of the things that destroys a person and when the dunya destroys a person it does that by opening trials and tribulations on you there is no way to get out of it except to turn to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and to seek refuge in him from its fitna as an Imam Al-Bukhari who narrated in his Sahih a chapter which he headed it لابل chapter في التعود من فتنة الدنيا seeking refuge إن الله سبحانه وتعالى from the trials of this dunya and then ألمام البخاري and straight away he brought the hadith of سعد ابن أبي وقاص رضي الله تعالى عنه he said كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم that the messenger used to be one يعلمنا هؤلاء الكلمات he would teach us these words كما تعلم الكتابة the way he would teach us or the way that writing is learnt he would say to them this dua which is اللهم أو الله إن أعوذ بك I seek refuge in you from what من البخلي in being stingy a person who doesn't want to give وأعوذ بك and I also seek refuge in you أو الله من الجبني in being a coward cowardness is an illness to be a coward is an illness and also being stingy is also an illness that a person needs to seek refuge in Allah from it is not a good trait to be a stingy person and it is also not a good characteristic and a good trait of a believer to be a coward also the prophet went on to say وأعوذ بك أو الله I seek refuge in you أن أردأ إلى أرض العمري أم أن أردأ أسري إلى أرض العمري أو الله I seek refuge for me to turn back in age and that's when the person he means by this when the person becomes so old that they become a child again in other words the person turns back on his age he's old in age but he does what the children do this is called أرض العمري أو الله I seek refuge in that age from you أو الله I want to die without needing anyone I want to die a death where I know what's around me the prophet used to seek refuge in Allah from this and then the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said وأعوذ بك أو الله I seek refuge in you من فتنة الدنيا وعذاب القبر I seek refuge in Allah from the trials of this world and the punishment of the grave so you can see in this دعاء النافع المباركة this beneficial dua this blessed dua to seek refuge in Allah from the fitnah of the dunya why is it that one needs to seek refuge from the fitnah of this dunya is because the dunya will destroy you it will annihilate you if Allah does not help you and aid you the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم أزيبن عمر said قلما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقوم من مجلسن the messenger was little it was rare that he stood up from a gathering in which he was in except that he would make the following dua he will say اللهم اقسم لنا من خشيتك ما تحولو به بيننا وبين معصيك Allah distribute amongst us give us each and every one of us your fear place it in our hearts place enough fear for it to divert us and for it to distance us from committing sins a fear that allows us to run away from the sins ومن طاعتك أن يؤبين صلى الله عليه وسلم ما تبلغونا به جنةك that which will allow us to enter jannah and reach the doors of jannah Allah give us obedience that will allow us to enter jannah ومن ليقيني and also give us certainty what certainty ما تهولو به علينا مسائبات الدنيا ام المصيبات الدنيا الله give us certainty that which will lessen for us the calamity of the dunya certainty enough certainty that will lessen in our hearts and make it easy for us to endure the calamities of this dunya ومتعنا باسماعنا الله bless us and make us enjoy our hearing وابصارنا and our seeing وقواتنا and our strength ما احييتنا as long as we live واجعله الوارث مننا make it that which is inherited مننا from us واجعل make our Allah ثائرنا على من ظلمنا our Allah place destruction on the one who oppresses us deal with him وانصرنا and give us victory على من عادانا from the one who shows and expresses enmity to us ولا تجعل our Allah do not make مصيبتنا our calamities في ديننا in our religion ولا تجعل الدنيا and do not make this dunya أكبرهم من our ultimate goal our ultimate objective don't make it our Allah ولا مبلغ علمنا and do not make this world our ultimate knowledge that all we know is the dunya ولا تصليط علينا ولا تقضى وضعتنا ولا تلدكنا ولا تقضى وضعتنا ولا تقضى وضعتنا هذه الحديث وخبرت من إبن عمر رضي الله عنه التي أخبرت أنه يظهر أن النبي لم يتركه أم لطوة أم راوزة أنه يتركه إلا أن يدعو بها أولائي الدعوات يجب أن يجعل هذه الأسلحة يجب أن يجعل هذه الدعاة يجب أن يدعو الله ومن الدعاة أنه يجب أن يقول اللهم أو اللهم والصلح للديني يجب أن يترك my religion يجب أن يترك me الذي يجب ان يكون أسمة أمري في whom my prosperity and my goodness is connected to والصلح للدنيا وأسلح للدنيا ومن المال الذي يجب أن يستخدم الأ على ماتي الذي يفهمي وأصلحي آخرتي وعلي آخرتي وعلي الله ففقت ما هيرافتر فوق مي اللتي فيها معادي which my turning back is وجعل الحياة زيادة اللي في كل خير وعلي الله make this world which I am living in today a place where I increase in good that I use this world as a provision in which I I work hard for the hereafter make it for me وجعل الموت تراحة اللي من كل شر وعلي الله make death راحة something which I don't feel pain or agony regarding it from all evil this is the dua that the messenger used to make and my brothers دعاء is مفتاح كل خير every good that you see the key to it is what دعاء supplication and calling on to Allah اخواني دعاء is مفتاح النجاح it's the key of success and prosperity and that is why it's upon every one of us يقبل على الله that we turn to Allah سبحانه وتعالى in supplication and that's why the author made that dua the author made this dua he called on to Allah by saying فأسأل ربي I ask my lord أن يحول بحوله وقوته بينه وبين اختياله that I ask him سبحانه وتعالى that he diverts this dunya from it causing me any trials or tribulations it destroying my hereafter affairs so this is a طريق النبوية it's a prophetic path in which the author رحمه الله took then the author رحمه الله he said فا يطالب الدنيا الدنياة جاهدا ألا طلوب سواها إنها لا وفاء لها فكم قد رأينا من حريص ومشفق عليها فلم يضفر بها أن ينالها he said فا يطالب الدنيا الدنياة جاهدا are you individual who has put all of his efforts on his hard work and all that he is looking for is what? الدنيا الدنياة all that you are looking for is this pathetic world this world that doesn't have no value no importance this low ranked thing is what you run after you've placed all of your time you all of your aspiration and all of your drive this dunya and you have faced this dunya with every energy and every brain cells that you have in your mind you've directed it towards this dunya he says to you ألا طلوب سواها go and look for other than it look for what أيل آخراء the opposite of it which is the hereafter don't be from the people of this world be from the people of the hereafter فلا تكون من أهل الدنيا وكن من أهل الآخراء do not be from the people of this world but rather be from the people of the hereafter how can one be from the people of the hereafter my beloved brothers and sisters the way a person can be from the people of the hereafter is بطلب العلم seeking knowledge gaining knowledge التفقه في الدين having understanding of the religion and also directing yourself والإقبال على طاعة رب العالمين directing yourself in the obedience of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and because of that عبد الله بن مشعود رضي الله تعالى عنه he said من هو ماني لا يشبعاني to individuals who are thirsty and hungry never get filled صاحب العلم a person of knowledge a person who's trying to attain knowledge never gets full because that knowledge doesn't finish it doesn't have a point where it finishes ألمام مالك ألمام أحمد it was seen at a very old age he was carrying inks and he was carrying scrolls and so they said to him إلى متايا عبد الله for how long are you going to carry on seeking knowledge and for how long are you going to be writing is there not a time where you say enough I have learnt as much as I needed to ألمام أحمد understood the reality of knowledge so what did he say he responded by saying من اللحدي he said من اللحدي from the cradle to the grave he said from the cradle to the grave from the day I was born till the day I die I'm still going to be gaining and increasing and seeking knowledge I will not stop sometimes you hear due to the ignorance of some people they say to you I've learnt enough I've learnt all that which I need to learn there's nothing more which I need to learn all that shows to us is this person hasn't truly understood knowledge يا أخي one of the things I benefited a statement that I benefited from شيخ عبد كريم الخضير he said let alone saying that knowledge you've learnt it all if you today sit down and you say I'm going to follow up the works of شيخ ابن عثيمين alone you will die and you still haven't finished it just one man's work if you sit down today and you say I'm going to go after ابن عثيمين عليه رحمة الله's works books that he's published and I'm going to give my time to that you will die and not have finished it let alone be able to read every book that there is so knowledge is something I'm a person who's trying to gain knowledge he will die and he still is running after it the second one عبد الله عليه وسلم is وصحب الدنيا this world no one ever died and said I have finished this that's it I didn't need anything more people die and they are still saying more no but I had to do this no no I had to finish off this but sometimes people say I want to gain knowledge so you say I can leave he'll say no I can't leave now because I'm waiting for this and I'm waiting for this الدنيا will never let go of you the only way is to get up and leave people who are addicted to things you tell them stop they'll say no I'll stop إن شاء الله next year this is my plan that person will never stop the دنيا is one thing you have to understand is that you will never ever ever get to the bottom of it and that is why the messenger said عليه الصلاة والسلام لا يملأوا بطنبوا أدم nothing fills the stomach of the children of Adam إلا تراب except the sand from the day you were born how much food have you eaten why don't you just stop now why are you still eating for look what you do you actually get rid of what you eat you ate and you're looking for more and you're looking for more دنيا is like that it will never finish and you will never get to the bottom of it so he said من هماني لا يشبعان صاحب العلم وصاحب الدنيا ولا يستوياني but they are not they even that though they share they share one thing which is both of them never get to the bottom of what they're looking for both of them never get to their fill but they're not the same he said ولا يستويان they are both not the same أما صاحب العلم as for the person of knowledge فيزداد رضا الرحمن he increases he increases in the things that please الله سبحانه وتعالى وأما صاحب الدنيا pay attention they are both running after what to increase right the person of knowledge is increasing in pleasing Allah وأما صاحب الدنيا as for the person of the dunya فيت مادة في التغيان he is only increasing in transgression and exceeding his limits and then عبد الله recited he recited the following verse لا إن الإنسان لا يطغى الرآه الرآه استغنى and he also recited the other verse in support of the people of knowledge when did he say إنما يخش الله من عباده العلماء then the author went on to say إنها لا وفاء لها this world will not fulfill a promise it made to you now it wouldn't it will make you happy today it will make you laugh today but how soon is it that you're going to cry you see 4-5 people sitting in their room they are laughing with each other they are enjoying time with each other it's a matter of days when they depart from one another one passes away and that laugh turns into a cry it turns into sadness where did that happiness go why the world will fool you it will trick you in making you think that that is what it's all about that laughing and that playing is what it's all about but the truth of the matter is it won't keep you in that consistent it won't keep you consistent in that situation which you're in and that's why الله says in the Qur'an متاع الغرور it's a joy but it's deceptive it's like a mirage on a sunny day when you're driving on the road you think there's water in front of you and as you try to get there it just keeps going further and it gets further and you're driving faster and faster it's moving even more away from you this world is a غرور deception it fools you it doesn't fulfill a promise that it's made to you فكم قدرائنا من حريص ومشفق عليها he says how much people have we seen who have busied themselves with this dunya the glitters and the glamours of this dunya from what from the worshipping of Allah from coming with that which was made obligatory on them they became busy with the dunya they got busy from what coming with righteous actions getting closer to Allah stacking righteous actions they are as I said yesterday they are حمار بالنهار daytime they are donkeys the way that a donkey things can be put on the donkey and the donkey will carry it and the donkey will not complain and the donkey is an animal that works very hard a donkey is stronger than a horse it's used things are put people move from one place to another some people are like that they work like a donkey and at night what do they do so all day he's working like a donkey he doesn't worship Allah and at night he is what he is Jee from bin Nahar he's like a corpse a dead animal he doesn't wake up at night when he tosses and turns in bed he doesn't do his dikkr he doesn't pray for qiyam he doesn't get up for qiyam he is Jee from bin Nahar عالم بالدنيا if you speak with him and you ask him questions he will break down this world and it's the internal affairs of it he will break it down in a manner in a manner and a way that will leave your mind boggled عجيب he knows the Tafasi he knows the details matters pertaining you ask him today أخي I'm just coming to the UK what shall I do he'll say this form is called this this is where you have to go you have to hand it in this day this is the time that they open this is the time that they close this is just the bus that you take this is what the person you're going to meet this is the questions that they're going to ask you تفاصيل detail matters the way he breaks it down to you are you with me تتعجب عالم بالدنيا جاهل بالأخرة you ask him the affairs of the hereafter you ask him أحكام pertaining to the most basic things of the religion you find that he was he's lost of words or he doesn't even know what it is when he prays and you look at him praying that same individual the things which he knows that know the dunya if you look at him praying today one of the things Subhan Allah and I said this I was in college and I was studying business I was studying business and they brought us to the Coca Cola factory you see and they were teaching us about matters pertaining to business so the guy that came to us the guy who was the head of the hygiene of Coca Cola and he was telling us how important the hygiene is and the role that he plays and he's the guy who runs the whole project he's the one who runs the whole the hygiene side of Coca Cola pay attention to this so what happened قدر الله وما شاء الله Subhan Allah distance and plans what he wants it ended up the iron he had to go for call of nature so he went in and I went in and when we both came out قدر الله I went and washed my hands used my soap washed my hands used the tissue this individual had used the toilet who just came out together and he walked out علم the basic thing hygiene that you are the head of you've got urine the minimum is urine what you've done for sure you didn't use water using tissue is it enough it's questionable I don't really believe personally that it's enough that being said of course I'm too good at it if the person is doing you're in lab but you can use tissue that being said you're the head of the hygiene department but you don't know the basic things of طهارة علم on يا إخوة بدنيا this man he probably can break down the different types of germs there are you see how they all work and whatnot but here it is this man doesn't know طهارة in the sense where the most basic stuff and this is something يا إخوة if you look at our علما and our scholars you find the opposite from them it was mentioned in the biography of علام محمد الأمين الشنقيطي رحمه الله that he would go to the market with money in his hands يا إخوة محمد الأمين الشنقيطي was a walking encyclopedia يا إخوة the things that محمد أمين الشنقيطي memorized and the things that was in his head today no one has come anywhere close to it if you read that طب جمع that خالد أثمان has placed regarding محمد الأمين الشنقيطي in the beginning of his كتاب عدب النمير which is a مجالس التفسير where he used to give all of that was from the top of his head he would bring شواهد poetry from the pre-islamic he would bring from he would use the lines from the معلقات السبعة معلقات العشرة he would bring شواهد from many he would bring it from عبد الله الشنقيطة رحمه الله الكتاب مراق السعود all of that from the top of his head he الشيخ باكر أبوزيت said about him and even عبد كريم الخضير he does a تحليق on كتاب أضعاء البيان so a new truth you can listen to it listen to the مقدمة when the first lesson عبد كريم الخضير talks about the biography of محمد الأمين الشنقيطي he says كاد أن يحفظ الإسان العرب he would read الإسان العرب is the biggest dictionary the biggest okay he كاد يحفظ he was close to memorizing like literally he had it in his head and you see that from him the way that when he talks he defines the words you if you look at his تفسير which is تفسير أضواء البيان في إضاح القرآن بالقرآن and you compare it to كتاب حكام القرآن written by الإمام القرطبي is roughly the same in the sense where he brings so much of the views of his all of that that man with that knowledge of the religion that great noble إمام he said I read pay attention he said no one ever took me ألم المنطق no one told me he said I read it and he wrote a thousand lines of poetry in المنطق بحمد المنطق هكذا his mind and his brain was profound profound unprecedented he shocked everybody and he's the point being he would go to a market he had he has money and he would carry money with him he would go to the market he would buy what he wanted and he would open his palm and he would say to the owner of the shop he would say take whatever is yours take whatever money is yours the reason he would say that is because they said he did not know the different types of money they were he didn't know it so he would give it and that's why he loved it when I came to Riyadh I left Qasim when he left Qasim who did he leave behind he left his teacher Abdulrahman Nasir Sidi I had this man he said I moved to Riyadh when I moved to Riyadh when I came to Riyadh I ended up coming to the Riyadh school at that time it was a Mahad he said I enrolled when it first got opened and the teachers that were teaching there one of the teachers of this school Muhammad al-Amin al-Shankirti he said I was in the class and Muhammad al-Amin al-Shankirti walked in he said when I saw him when I saw him he said I as an individual said why did I leave my teacher behind why did I leave Abdulrahman Nasir Sidi for a man whose appearance is like this Muhammad al-Amin al-Shankirti's appearance was not attractive he said but when he spoke and when he went into the lesson he said I never saw the likes of what this man was saying ever being said by anybody the things that Muhammad al-Amin al-Shankirti was coming out with the Dura the gems in which he was saying so they don't they didn't give importance to their appearance and how they look they were ignorant in regards to their dunya affairs are you there you find scholars who can't use phones properly you find that that happens they have cars you see there's buttons they've never ever used in the car you see there are simple stuff that you look at them and say yeshik did you not know this they'll come in to the lesson not looking but peeling a sharp no you know the hats are all over the place they'll come not sharp why because the dunya holds value to you that's why you're perceiving him he doesn't see it like that nowadays if you look at the دعات and the طلبة العلم the biggest thing that a person has to do if he wants to do دعوة today it has to look sharp it has to give a lot of importance to his worldly affairs or else he'll say people won't take me serious in عكسة الموازين the scaling has actually become what and maybe because of that maybe Allah عالم maybe because of that the barakah of our knowledge and our educate and our teaching maybe that is why it went the barakah maybe went because of that then the author says فلم يضفر بها أن ينالها this person who was striving so hard who was given everything to this dunya who was working nine to five jobs comes when he becomes home all he's talking to his wife about is the money that he made and how much he's expecting and the calculation and whatnot all of this he's doing the sheikh says فلم يضفر بها أن ينالها wherever you gained and you think you gained فَسَيَدْ هَبُوْ it will go that issue that you thought oh I got it it will go how many businessmen who reached the pinnacle of money and richness they were filing bankruptcy filing for bankruptcy the reason is because this is the sunnah this is the way of this dunya that's how it works it comes and it goes now if it doesn't go whilst you're alive then guess what you're making and you're stacking this money for somebody after you who's going to benefit from it you're working for somebody else really this house that you've built and this money you've put into it it's going to be inheritance people are going to sit down and inherit your children are going to inherit it you're working for your children in the sense where this is only theirs but you've got nothing for the hereafter and they're not going to help you in the hereafter they're going to run away from you these children that you're giving it to they're going to run away from you يوم يفرر المرء من أقي و أمه و أبي و صاحبته و بلي so this wealth is going to go your wife after a period of time after morning and crying and screaming and the pain she's going out there to look beautiful to get married she's gone she moves on in her life by Allah He's saying this I remember a sister who her husband died 10 years ago and she said to me she said to me sometimes what would happen to me is I would actually forget his name she'll forget the name of her ex-husband who died gone she said this because of the fact that you didn't love him or anything she said that I would love him but I took something from that the thing that's going to help you is what have you placed and what have you put for the hereafter if that's your wife who right now wouldn't want anybody to talk to you when you're alive she'll do everything for you as she says right now when you die she'll move on and get married if that's your wife then what do you expect from somebody who's not related to you you're just friends that you call them friends so these speeches that the sheikh is saying and he statements here they are all it comes from a person who has truly understood the reality of this dunya a person who's truly understood what the Quran and the Creator has said about this dunya he gets deceived he fools in it he fools in it إن شاء الله تعالى my beloved brothers and sisters we're going to stop there and إن شاء الله تعالى we're going to carry on the remaining parts tomorrow بإذن الله الكريم anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me الشيطان and Allah and his messenger are free from it سبحانك الله وبحمدك أشدو أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفرواك وأتوبوا إلي
