 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد الله إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد في هذا الفيسور إن شاء الله تعالى أريد أن أتحدث عن الأشياء التي تساعد الإيمان إلى إيجادة هناك أشياء التي يفعلها إذا كان يفعلها إيجادة الإيمان نحن أهل السنة والجماعة نعتقد أن الإيمان إيجاد وإيجاد وإتجتمعهم في أيجادة العام والجماعة وإيجادها في الميام التي يفعلها إيجادة الشيطان وأشهد أن ألمني سأudه بعض الأشياء التي يمكن أن يتعمل الإيمان وذهني لا يوجد الأشياء التي يجد إيجادة الإيمان هناك أكثير الأشياء سأudه أيها الأشياء والذي أخبر about this episode أول أشياء اللله والبنافع تعلم المنافع ولمي تعلم المنافع منافع. لاني بانفشل نالج. اتعاني. جاني. بانفشل نالج اكتر انسان. ايجانون. ايجانون. اكتر انسان. يجيب انسان. المسؤول هنا is increasing or attaining or gaining beneficial knowledge. ما هو يعني؟ ما هو منفشل المنلج؟ سأخبر أخبرين وقت الغراء لإمامي. ويبنو حجر العسقلاني بوث of who mentioned what it means by beneficial knowledge. Let's start with ابن رجب الحمري. ابن رجب الحمري has a book on this he called it فضل علم السلف على علم الخلف which I encourage every student of knowledge to try to buy that book and to read it. Where he talks about the knowledge of the pious predecessors. Their knowledge in comparison to the knowledge of those who came later. He says in his book فال علم النافع هو ضبط نصوص الكتاب والسنة وفهم معانيها والتقيود في ذلك بالمأثور عن الصحابة والتابعين وتابعين في معاني القرآن والحدي. He said beneficial knowledge is it is to be precise to have precision in the textual evidences يعني the قرآن and the سنة. Beneficial knowledge is knowing the book of Allah. Beneficial knowledge is number two he said is knowing the hadiths of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Beneficial knowledge is what knowing the statements the actions of the صحابes and their students تعبعين تعبعين knowing the statements and the speeches and the belief of the three noble generation he said this is beneficial knowledge I repeat beneficial knowledge is knowing the قرآن knowing the hadiths of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم good portion of it also knowing what also having the statements and the belief and the actions of the صحابes the companions of the Prophet the تعبعين the students of the companions the تعبعو تعبعين which are the students of the students of the companions having their statements their actions and their belief as knowledge if you hear a lecture where it's absent يعني the person is not quoting قرآن is not quoting حديث is not quoting to you the statements of the early generation and their belief and their statements يعني this person is not giving you beneficial knowledge you have to understand that ابن حجر رحمه الله he also gave a definition of what beneficial knowledge means he said that meaning that it means Islamic knowledge he said it means it is when you say I am a teeny Islamic knowledge and I am gaining Islamic knowledge when the scholars say that Islamic knowledge is virtuous over the worldly knowledge and what does Islamic knowledge mean because Islamic knowledge is beneficial knowledge but what does it mean it means it is that which benefits you as a person ويقوم بعمل بك as a person and you gain from it what is obligatory on you and this knowledge that you're learning is that which is obligatory on you there are things you must do and you have to go and pray now you're learning how to pray you have to fast in the month of Ramadan you're learning how to fast you need to do a Hajj you're learning how to do Hajj you need to give zakat you're learning the Haqqan related to zakat you're going to get married you need to learn the do's and the don'ts in marriage these are things which you are going to go forward in doing having knowledge of those things the scholars they refer to that as علم الحال the knowledge that you need at that moment the knowledge that is obligatory and mandatory on you that knowledge you must come in and that knowledge is في عبادات ومعاملاتي that knowledge can be in acts of worship and I mentioned it like at Tahrar الصلاة الزكاة الصوم and الحج and it can also be in معاملات your transactions buying and selling marriage and etc and then he said وَالْعِلْمُ بِاللَّهِ وَصِفَاتِهِ and knowledge of Allah his names and attributes and a person doesn't even know who Allah is he does not know who Allah is has no knowledge and understanding of Allah if you ask him where is Allah he doesn't know if he was to ask what is Allah's characteristics and attributes what are the names of Allah he has no knowledge of it this is knowledge you must have and you have to come with ولي ذلك أبهوتي he said وَبَعْدُ فَتْتُوْحِيدُ عِلْمٌ يَمْلُواْ عَلَى الْعُلُومِ كُلِّهَا وَيَفْضُلُواْ قَدْ أَوْجَبَ الْرَحْمَانُ مِنْهُ قَدْرَى ليس يصحوا الدين وحتى يُذِرَى هل تروح يحيد is a must for every one of us we have to know our Tawheed we have to know worshipping Allah how to worship him what are the things that can nullify our our عبادة what are the things that can destroy it what does لا إلهي الله mean what are the conditions of لا إلهي الله what are the prerequisites of لا إلهي الله what are the pillars of لا إلهي الله and knowing all of this is a knowledge that everybody needs to have that is in summary brothers and sisters الله created us brothers and sisters and brought us into this world to have knowledge يعني you are in this world to gain knowledge islamic knowledge لسوى الله سبحانه وتعالى الله الذي خلق سبع سماوات ومن الأرض مثلهنة يتنزل الأمر بينهنة لتعلموا لتعلموا أن الله على كل شيء قدير لتعلموا أن الله على كل شيء قدير وأن الله قد أحاط بكل شيء علما الله is telling us that he created the seven heavens and he created the seven earth he created everything in between the seven heavens and everything in between the earth الله created it سبحانه وتعالى الله تبارك وتعالى he sends down his commands from high above why does he do all of this why did he create all of this الله he says لتعلموا so you can know know what لتعلموا أن الله على كل شيء قدير to know that Allah has the ability over everything يعني knowing Allah's characteristics and attributes you were created to know Allah وأن الله قد أحاط بكل شيء علما and to know that Allah encompassed everything with knowledge الله سبحانه وتعالى he raises the people of knowledge يعني he raises them not just the day of judgment in Jannah but he raises their Eman as well how does he and what's the evidence for that الله سبحانه وتعالى يساعدين القرآن يرفع إلاه الذين آمنوا منكم والذين أوتوا العلمة ترجات الله raised the believers over the disbelievers يعني the believers are higher than the disbelievers a believer is better than a thousand disbelievers but not all of the believers are the same within the believers who are the best the people of what the people of knowledge الله raised them from within the believers يرفع إلاه الذين آمنوا منكم والذين أوتوا العلمة ترجات and Allah asked us a rhetorical question we don't have to answer it the answer is clear already الله says الله asked us a question he said the one who knows and the one who doesn't know are they the same that they can't be the same they're not the same the one who knows is better than the one who doesn't know so beneficial knowledge my beloved brothers and sisters increases your Eman إنما يخشى الله من عباده العلمة إنما يخشى الله من عباده العلمة the ones who truly fear Allah who are conscious of Allah who are consistently fearful and أهل العلم the people of knowledge are always scared of Allah سبحانه وتعالى they're conscious of Him the people of knowledge as I mentioned to you are people who've gathered between beneficial knowledge and righteous action and compiled combined between the two it's not just information that they have they have knowledge and they also have what they have knowledge sorry they have information and they have actions to back that up الله سبحانه وتعالى He made the people of knowledge a testimony and a witness الله تباركة عليه He said الله تباركة عليه What did He do? He used the people of knowledge as a witness and if somebody was to ask you today Did you do this? And you say yeah I did it and someone says okay who's your witness and you say so-and-so is my witness that's so-and-so that you chose has to be someone who's reliable if you choose someone who's not a reliable person people are going to be like sorry you're not going to believe that person so you're going to choose someone you know is reliable right الله has a greater example and الله is greater and higher than any example that we may give الله used the people of knowledge as a witness for the greatest thing which is شهيد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو والملايكة وأول العلم قائما بالقصة الله mentions سبحانه وتعالى that there is not worthy of worship except to me الله said that the angels are my witness and the people of knowledge are my witness that I am the only one who deserves to be worshipped What does that show you? it shows you the people of knowledge الله has raised them يوم القيام الله is going to raise them سبحانه وتعالى and also their Eman is raised they're not like the rest of the people the Prophet ﷺ told us the hadith that Imam Ahmad narrating is Muslim in حديث أبي درداء the Prophet ﷺ said من سلكة طريقاً يلتمسوا فيه علم سهل الله له طريقاً إلى الجنة that there is not a person who treads on a path treads on a path يعني he takes a path that path he takes he's trying to seek and gain إسلامic knowledge except that Allah would give that person يوم القيامة a path to jannah and if you take a path to seek knowledge الله would give you a path to jannah so seek knowledge raises a person it increases your Eman the more you know Allah the more your Eman increases the less you know Allah and his religion the less Eman you have يعني your Eman reduces so that's the first one إن شاء الله وتعالى that I wanted to mention and there are many examples and there are many evidences for that but that إن شاء الله وتعالى should suffice the second thing I believe increases your Eman is قلاءة القرآن reciting the Qur'an وتدنبرو and to contemplate over the Qur'an and this Qur'an that we have with us brothers and sisters increases our Eman reciting it pondering over it contemplating over it increases your Eman that's why Allah تعالى He glorified this Qur'an and Allah refered to this Qur'an as a light and a beacon that shines everything for you الله تعالى تعالى سيز وكدالك أحينا إليك روح من أمرنا ما كنت تدريم الكتاب ولا الإيمان ولكن جعلناه نورا نهدي به من نشاء من عبادنا وإنك لا تهدي إلى سراط مستقيل Allah refered to this Qur'an He referred to it as a light and he referred to it as a soul and in this Qur'an when people are in darkness you are not you can see the path in front of you because the Qur'an is shining it for you also the Qur'an is what the Qur'an is also if gives you life Our man كان ميتا فاحيناه وجعلنا له نورا يمشي به في الناس is it the same the one who is dead and Allah gave him life revived him revived him with what with the Qur'an the Qur'an revives the person it gives them life so increases your Eman Allah تعالى تعالى told us that this Qur'an guides to the best of affairs إنه هذا القرآن يهدي للتي هي أقوم ويبشر المؤمنين الذين يعملون الصالحة أن لهم أجرا كبيرة This Qur'an guides to the best of affairs the best thing Allah سبحانه وتعالى يسجد وننزل من القرآن ما هو شفاء ورحمة للمؤمنين ولا يزيدوا الظالمين إلا خسارة This Qur'an is a cure cure for the heart cure for the reduction of your Eman This Qur'an if it was set down on the mountain it will crumble and it will tremble ولو أنزلنا هذا القرآن على جبل لا رأيته خاشة عن متصدع من خشية الله وتلك الأمثال نضربها للناس لعلهم يتفكرون This Qur'an if it was to come down on the mountain is the mountain would tremble When it comes down on the heart of the believer how can it not move it It does the true believer when the Qur'an comes down on his heart it moves it and his Eman increases إنما المؤمنون الذين إذا ذقل الله وجلت قلوبهم وإذا تليت عليهم آيات وزادتهم إيمانا وعلى ربهم يتوكلون The believers when they read the Qur'an it increases the Imam Based on the ayah the Qur'an increases it it increases it Why does it increase it? Because it's guidance and it's mercy رسول الله سبحانه وتعالى He says ونزلنا عليك الكتابة بيانا لكل شيء وهودا ورحمة وبشراء للمسلمين This Qur'an الله تعالى He said we sent it down Muhammad We sent this Qur'an down as a guidance This Qur'an clarifies everything for the people This Qur'an is a mercy This Qur'an is a glad tidning for the believers Allah says سبحانه وتعالى وَلَقَدِ جِئْنَا هُمْ بِكِتَابٍ فَصَّلْنَا هُمْ We sent down the Qur'an on them and it clarifies everything Distinguishes falsehood from the truth وَلَقَدِ جِئْنَا هُمْ بِكِتَابٍ فَصَّلْنَا هُمْ فَصَّلْنَا هُمْ عَلَهُدًا وَرحمة This Qur'an came down to clarify everything for them to distinguish everything for them It came to guide them and it came to send down on them what It also came down to send them on mercy and also glad tidings This Qur'an increases your heart Eman brothers and sisters But it's not just mere recitation The Qur'an is not just alfab that we just recite يُقِمُونَ حُروفَهُ وَيُضَي'عُونَ حُدودة That you just read the wordings and then you forsake the boundaries that the Qur'an has set for you The Qur'an needs عمل The Qur'an requires what? عمل It requires عمل That's why there's some of this salaf like تَتَادِتُمْ لِدْعَامَهَا سَعيدُمْ لِجُبَيلَ And others it was transmitted from them When it came to the ayah يَتْلُونَهُ وَحَقَّةِ لَاوَتِهِ And they said يَعمَلُونَ وَحَقَّةَ عَمَلِهِ That they act upon the Qur'an the way it deserves to be acted upon They act upon the Qur'an They do what the Qur'an commands them to do The poet he said He said بدأت في بسم الله شارطبي in his Nathem بدأت ببسم الله في النظم أولا تبارك الرحمن الرحيما وموئلة وثنيت صلى الله رب على الرضا محمد المهدى إلى الناس مرسلا وعطرته ثم الصحابة ثم من تلاهم على الإحسان بالخير وبلام وثلت أن الحمد لله دائما وما ليس مبدوئا بأجدم العلا وبعد فحبل الله فينا كتابه فجاهد به حبل الإدام تحبلا وأخلق به إدلاس يخلق جدا جديد مواليه على الجد مقبلا وقارئه المرضي قرمت له كلوت رجح عليه مريحا وموكلا خوال المرتباء أما إذا كان أمتا تحنيت القرآن it's just the person the recitation and the reading and the contemplating over the Qur'an the joy that they get from it وإن كتاب الله أو ثق شافئة وأذنى منائه واهبا متفضلة وخير جليس لا يمل حديته وترداده وتزداد فيه تجمولا وحيث الفتا يرطاع في ظلماته من القبر يلقاه سنة متهللة حنيت مريحا وموالي داك عليهما ملابس الملابس وأنواري من التجوال يحنيت القرآن brothers and sisters I don't know anything I can say to you that can truly impact your life that can truly change the course of your life better than the word of Allah سبحانه وتعالى there's no lecture a reminder that you listen to that can change you better than the Qur'an I don't think there is I don't believe and I don't think any Muslim should believe that there is anything better to listen to and think over and contemplate and take in than the words of Allah it's better than anything may Allah سبحانه وتعالى make us from the people of the Qur'an the people who live by it implemented stand by it protected ولي ذلك ابن القيب رحمه الله when it came to قوله تعالى وقال الرسول يا ربي إن أقومي تخذوا هذا القرآن مهجرة ابن القيب said that the boycotting of the Qur'an that this eye is referring to that is some people who got a boycott of the Qur'an from the boycotting is with it to stay away from reciting it and also to what to stay away from pondering over it if you don't ponder over the Qur'an because that's why it was sent down كتابنا أنزلناه إليك مبارك ليتدبروا آياتي أفلا يتدبرون القرآن أم على قلوبنا قفالها أفلا يتدبرون القرآن ولو كان لدي غير الله لوجدوا فيه اختلافات كثيرة أفلا يتدبروا القولة يعني the Qur'an was sent down for التدبر contemplation if you don't do that you're gonna guess what the Qur'an was sent down اللهم نزل أحسن الحديث كتابا متهجابها المتالية تقشأروا منه جلود الذين يقشون ربهم ثم تلينوا جلودهم وقلوبهم إلا ذكر الله حان the Qur'an when it recited the believer تلينوا قلوبهم their hearts become soft because it increases the Imam and there are many more other things that can increase a person's Imam those were the most important ones that come to mind and there are many other more things may Allah make us from the people who take these things on board and take the best of speech and implement it in their life anything I might have said that was wrong incorrect is from Mia Shaytan and Allah and His Messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم ورحمدك أشهد والله إلهي والله استغفرواك وأتوبوا لك
