 و أقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال و أقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي و لا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحقاء وهو يهدي السبيل وأشد أن محمد العبد هو رسوله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى في today's contradiction I want to speak about something that you find many people fall into و it's a very dangerous thing which is to indulge into memorizing statements of scholars or memorizing poetry and abandoning memorizing the Quran this is something I myself have been thinking about a very for a very long time contemplating and pondering over it so it's me trying to share with you something that I critique myself for as well and that I want all of us to by the way these contradictions as I've mentioned before it's not me telling you guys that you're contradicting in something that you're saying or doing it is also myself I'm also talking to myself and it's things that I've seen from myself as well and also things that I've seen from other people so even if I don't name it I don't put a name to some of the contradictions that I'm going to mention I believe I'm the first person to fall into it so may Allah give us Subhanahu و تعالى استقامة and make us steadfast and this journey brothers and sisters that we are taking we're all in it together we're all in it together and there's no hierarchy here there isn't me and then you guys will listen rather it is all of us together as brothers and also as sisters trying to tread on that path to go to Allah Subhanahu و تعالى I ask Allah that He doesn't forsake us and that He doesn't hold us account for everything mistakes and shortcomings that we've come with and that if He gives us so here I want to speak about something that I've been thinking about I've been pondering over which is memorizing statements poetry you know the statements of people human beings even though they're scholars great imams of Islam in the on the expense of the Quran and ألمام البخاري رحمه الله he has a chapter in his صحيح in كتابه الأدب there's a chapter where he says بخاري رحمه الله he says the chapter where it's disliked and يكون الغالب على الإنساني that the person is overcome by the majority of what he does is a poetry حتى يصدع عن ذكر الله until it returns him away from the remembrance of Allah و العلم والقرآن and it turns him away from knowledge and the Quran so learn memorizing poetry of the علامة who fall under there يعني if the Quran is being abandoned the statement of a scholar is lower than the Quran then what do you think the poetry that you created or you read some even they write their own poetry and they call it spoken words or they call it poetry or some even call it anashid islamia they call it and they memorize it they will do it in the front of the stage they memorize their own word that they've written they memorized it يعني some of them have written ample poetry and they've memorized it all but in the Quran they've forsaken it they've never memorized the Quran and the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said أمام البخاري also brought that under that chapter in his صحيح he brought under the chapter حديث أبو حريره يصول صفاني صحيح مسلم as well where the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said لأن يمتلئ جوف رجل قيح يريه خير من أن يمتلئ شعرا the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said صلى الله عليه وسلم it is better for any one of you that inside of his body or his body be filled with pus which may consume his body than it being filled with poetry the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said لأن يمتلئ جوف رجل جوف here means the inside of a person to be filled up with قيحا means pus يريه خير من أن يمتلئ شعرا it is يعني to be for a person's body to be filled up with pus is actually and he consumes it his body consumes it it is better than him to be filled with poetry now here it means the poetry because بخاري رحم الله تعالى when he brought it he brought it under a chaptering and بخاري رحم الله is trying to prove the understanding of the hadith بخاري رحم الله's chapterings are his fic his views and his opinions so he is trying to extract from it رحم الله تعالى which is باب ما يكره أن يكون الغالب على الإنسان الشعر حتى يصد عن ذكر الله والللم والقرآن that the poetry or what you are memorizing it doesn't block you from it doesn't become a hindrance or an obstacle in the Quran and the remembrance of Allah and the knowledge and that's so important brother and sisters you're contradicting yourself or you're saying that my memorization is very weak I can't memorize I can't I can't but you're memorizing unnecessary stuff but when it comes to the Quran you're not memorizing it's a contradiction it's a contradiction and the first thing that we should give importance to brothers and sisters when it comes to memorizing is the Quran and everything else is secondary it comes second place it comes what? it comes second place و لذلك الإمام الأوزاعي الإمام أهل الشام رحمه الله رحمة نواسعة it was said that if a young child came in his حلقة he would say to that child have you memorized the Quran and if he says yes I have memorized the Quran he wouldn't just take his word for it he would test him and he would ask him the ayat such as the narration mentions as يوصيكم الله في أولادكم و لكم نصفوا ما تركأي يستفتونك في النسائي those verses which are ayat that talk about the inheritance so he would ask him about the ayat which are متشابه that can really tell the one who memorized and is alert if that student or that young child or that young brother or sister they've memorized it they got it right الإمام الأوزاعي رحمه الله he wouldn't يعني take them away from the حلقان he would allow them to benefit and study because they're now ready to go to the next phase of memorizing a hadith and studying but if that person had not memorized the Quran and إمام الأوزاعي would say to them go and memorize the Quran and come back go and memorize the Quran and come back and this is something brothers and sisters that if I actually written a book on it to compile the times that the إمام زواليس سلام told the people to memorize the Quran first I could come with a thick big volume I could gather a volume on this whole issue so إن شاء الله I'm going to conclude there anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me إن شاء الله his message are both free from it سبحانك الله بحمده أشدو الله أستغفرك السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته how can you do a two second action right now that will give you a share of the reward of everything we're doing on this YouTube channel simple like this video and click subscribe why it will allow YouTube to recommend our videos to other users and imagine the huge amount of reward that could be waiting for you on the day of judgment if you did that with a sincere intention of spreading the Dean of Allah you'll be rewarded for every single person who benefits from one of our videos as a result of your like or subscribe that's an easy two second action that you definitely don't want to miss out on do it now click like and subscribe and don't forget to make that intention
