 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي اللي باب حافظ بن حاجر ويديد was he tried to explain this because there's a little issue here at hand which is حجاج حجاج حجاج بن يوسف الثقفي was before عمر بن عبد العزيز and عمر بن عبد العزيز came after حجاج and was the time of عمر بن عبد العزيز good yes the people were living a very good life they enjoyed themselves because عمر بن عبد العزيز was a a righteous person a man who truly was a just leader he was an Imam عادل so the scholars they said how is this possible that this حديث is clearly saying انه لا يأتي عليكم زمانه إلا والله يبعده إلا والله يبعده شره منه حتى تلقوا وربقوا how do you reconcile between that and what happened here عمر حاجر bring so many interpretations and explanations and then finally he says واولا بالاتباع من ذلك the one that befits is most befitting to interpret it and to explain it with is a statement that he narrates from he says brings it من طريق الحارث that عبد الله بن مسعود سلح يزيد من الوهب he narrates from عبد الله بن مسعود عبد الله بن مسعود سلحياتي عليكم يوم إلا وهو شر من اليوم الذي كان قبله حتى تقوم الساعة means what عبد الله بن مسعود says ولا مالا يفيده عبد الله بن مسعود says that I don't mean by this when I say this to you لياتي عليكم يوم that a day will not come or a time will not come except the time after it is worse I don't mean by this by what رخاء بن العيش that you're gonna have a good blossom bliss life no ولا مالا يفيده and that you're going to gain wealth no no ولكن but what this hadith means is لا يأتي عليكم يوم that there does not come a time except that the scholars and the people of knowledge become less in number حجاج عم time was in terms of worldly angle it was what it was worse in terms of رخاء بن العيش and mal he didn't have رخاء بن العيش and he didn't the people were having wealth enough lifestyle to leave him he would be brothers but حجاج time the scholars that lived the scholars that lived were more in number than the time of عمر بن عبد العزيز عمر بن عبد العزيز is this time the scholars died more died and the people of knowledge passed away and with me brothers إلا وهو أقل علبة من الذي مضى قبله فإذا ذهب العلماء when the scholars go is to when the people become leveled this is an issue you have to realize when the scholars die because the scholars are the ones who are ahead of everyone else everyone else has to what has to listen to the scholars because Allah commands them in the Qur'an وإذا جاءهم أمروا من الأمن أو الخوفي أداعوا به وإلا ردوه إلى الرسولي وإلا أولي الأمر منكم العريبة والذين يستمرطون لهم if only they moved back to scholars the people of knowledge now so when the scholars die what happens those people become what leveled actually the reality pay attention I remember subhan Allah you know the time you know I mean I wasn't old enough to remember this but from the works and the books that I saw if you look at the time عبد عزيز ملماز was alive ألمام عبد عزيز ملماز ألمام محمد ناصر الدينة الألماني and also ألمام محمد المصالح الأطيبين when they three were alive the unity of أهل السلاحيين was so strong and it was very it was in place it was very powerful and I remember subhan Allah having to look at and ponder on that when they differed amongst themselves in the issue of the American troops whether they should come into the Muslim whether they should come into the Arabian Peninsula جزيرة العالم whether the Americans should be allowed when they differed with amongst themselves الشيخة للباني to the opinion that they shouldn't and that it's incorrect for that to happen are you with me and sheikh عزيز ملماز took the opinion that it's permissible to repel the harm of the Ba'ath party of سدان حسين when they differed amongst themselves what happened the غوغاء the ignorant ones started to take the pulpits and started to benefit from this disunity really lacking they had their own personal agenda that was really what they had are you with me brothers the غوغاء started to speak and they started to utter ما أزل الله بها من سورطان the reason being there was some friction there was some disagreement right now in the particular ruling but even then when they were alive matters were always put back to them and because they were علماء of the سدنة their fate were revolved around the same sources so anybody who tried to go to شق عزيز ملماز and tried to get into ملماز's mind by criticizing his brother بحمد ناصر الدين الباني he would never get nowhere he would be silenced and he would be told to be quiet راضي ملماز would say ما رأيت تحت أدي بالسماع I never saw under the sky رجل an individual أعلم بالحديث من الباني شيخ ملو عثايمين when he came to شيخ ملو عثايمين and they started to whisper to him and say شيخ ملو عثايمين is a murji الباني is a murji and he responded harshly and he said to them إذا they don't know الالباني or they don't know إرجاء it's one of the two they didn't accept that الشيخ محمد ناصر الدين الباني was asked who is the most knowledgeable people of the face of this earth that you've seen and he mentions محمد تقي الدين الهلاني محمد الأمين الشنقي رحمه الله الشيخ عبيد الله الدهل ورحمه الله عبدالعزيز عبدالله knowing the respect and the honour and the knowledge of his brother عبدالعزيز على كل حال when the scholars were there the matter was brought back to them but when they died إستوان ناصر the people became so close to each other in knowledge age wise knowledge wise it became that level of what إستواء equal so what happens and that is the reality and when that happened إستواء ناصر then people become equal فلا يأبورون بالمعروف ولا ينهون على المكر and we still والله الحمد لله still ما زال الخير قائمة the truth of the matter is that still we have علبة amongst us it's going to get worse but we are not like we were when إبنو بازر إبنو عثيمين and ألباني was a lie no person who read the books and looked at the matter properly would say that it is you could see things started to shift and as time goes on it's going to get worse knowing looking at our علبة now how old they are how their beads have become white and how they become you realize the matters are becoming more worrying for a person who loves the sunnah and who loves the علبة who loves the علبة it worries him even more because when this people become equal and they become all the same فلا يؤمرون بالمعروفي people will not prohibit each other from evil ولا ينهون على المكر the people will not call each other to good know when they prevent each other from evil فعند ذلك يهلكون and then destruction will come to them people will say to each other who are you to talk to me be quiet leave me alone يا أخي ويزال أمر بالمعروف والنهي على المكر أخي سكوت سكوت because the people become the same they don't take each other serious anymore الأمر بالمعروف على المكر goes out of the window and what happens if a nation leave الأمر بالمعروف والنهي على المكر they become destroyed so look at it brothers the the the leaving on the dying and the passing the way of the scholars brings about what a vacuum space for extremism to be bred for you to propagate the idea of whilst the are alive bringing to us the extremism by opening the vacuum and saying to the people there is no real about to refer back to bring it back to us is really trying to allow extremism to spread والله that's what it is you're letting extremism expand expand and go fast by what either by exaggeration or negligence because look you are the ones who belittled the علماء in the eyes of the people now the extremist if we say to him if we say to him what you're doing is wrong I'll say to him if we say to him if we say to him if we say to him if we say to him if we say to him if we say to him if we say to him and gave them no importance the other one who said to them that the scholars don't know our situation properly the other one who said to them they can't relate to us they're better women they live in the lifestyle the other one who said this to them so when we bring the fatawaa of the علماء the qima and the value of their statements has become low so this is why it's important and this is understood if he had the حاجة in his كتاب فتحه الواريو he goes on to say after a while he says عن مسروق من أجدع مسروق من أجدع يخبر things are similar يقول إما إني لا أعني أميرة خيرا من أميرة I don't mean that the leader is better than the leader ولا عاما خيرا من عامر And I don't mean that A period is better than another period Of course that which the textual evidence said Is best Is best no doubt He means after that I'm not saying that لكن But the problem is The destruction comes, one ولكن علما أكم وفقها أكم يدهبون but the reality of the matter is that your scholars are going وفقها and your jurists the real fuqaha are going what we have right now are Qur'an reciters people who read when I say read from letters like notes from me the fuqaha are going the people who have truth, fiqh and understanding and the ulama are going يتبون تُبَلَ تَجِدُونَ مِنْهُمْ خَالَفَ and you don't have anyone to take their place why don't we have people taking their place one of the reasons why we don't have people taking their place is because people are not taking them serious and studying and taking knowledge from them and they're not going and referring back to them the person learns 3-4 مسائل he throws a table on his own sheikh and his own teachers yeah when he did the poem he said إذا أفادك إنسان بفائدة من العلوم فأدم شكراه أبدا وقل فلان جزاه الله صالحة أفاد ليها وألق الكبر والحسنة if a person benefits you a benefit إذا أفادك إنسان بفائدة فأدم بلال العلوم فأدم شكراه أبدا if a person benefits you some knowledge and gives you understanding be consistent in gratitude towards him وقل and say فلان so-and-so talk me this جزاه الله صالحة بإمكان الله to reward him with good and what did he also say وألق الكبر والحسنة and also toss away and get rid of arrogance and the envy and the jealousy that you have in you give your scholar his respect the poet he said وعلمه الرماية في كل يوم every day I teach him how to how to how to throw an arrow okay I teach him it فلمشتد ساعدو when his arm became strong and he learned how to do the arrow and he learned everything رمانه تاني أمي and he shot me وعلمه نظم القواه في I teach him how to write poetry and how to put down the the sequence and the symbols and out the rhyme and the poetry is written and when he learned it what did he do جفاني he wrote the poetry against me some people are like that you teach them you educate and they benefit from you and days later they are what they are your contemporary and it's shocking because the طوافع of the علبة before was that if one person taught them something they would say that this is my شخ even if they are what not they didn't mean anything much from them just one حبيث ولي ذلك شعبيه he said anyone who taught me one letter سرت له عبدل I'll become a slave for him I become a what slave I'll serve him I'm a slave what do you want me to do carry your shoes for you I'll carry for you حرفان ولي ذلك حرمان happens to you because of that you get prevented from really learning when you really start throwing your mouth and the person who taught you who educated you who benefited you so that's why when the scholars that are dying and they're passing away and they are going تُمَلَ اتِجِ دُلَ مِنُ أُخَلَفَنْ we don't find anyone be able to take their place we don't and then he goes on to say وَيَجِعُ قُومُون and so there is again this vacuum this space starts to become apparent it starts to become available so what happens وَيَجِعُ قُومُون يُفْتُونَ بِرَأِيهِم a group of people start giving verdicts with their own opinions they benefit from it or they realize oh okay scholars are going no one's taking their place okay I'll take it either he pushes himself forward and he takes the place of the scholars and he gives what يُفْتُونَ بِرَأِيهِم he gives verdict with his own opinions اي اي all day you hear اي اي نقال الله نقال الرسول اي اي اي or he doesn't push himself forward there others go and push him forward and they say oh this is the scholar you said that yeah only five times right yeah okay go they push him forward and they say this is the scholar that's what happens when that space is made available but if the people respect the الهما to their other الهما we are only connecting you guys to those الهما we are bringing those الهما works to you guys we're just that bridge between you and the الهما so what the student of knowledge will do is when he benefits from you and he takes the benefit from you he will then refer the matters that he and he increases more knowledge what does he do we'll go back الهما and he increases himself in more knowledge but if you say to the person I'm the عالم automatically what is he going to do when he benefits from you and he becomes more knowledgeable than you he he's he's if you're a عالم he's a مفتي now he's he's he's more greater than you they're a مجتاين مجتاين مجتاين he's a مجتاين مقلق now I lost him that's the problem in another wording مسرق منه أجدع I said فا يثليمون الإسلام ويهديمون هو they destroy إسلام from its routes by given verdict from their own opinion they they destroy إسلام all of this حافظ من حاجة برن زين فتح الباري one day ربيعة الرأي ربيعة ابن عبدالرحمان he cried and as we know ربيعة الرأي is the الشيخ of who ربيعة ابن عبدال يهدي 130 130 60 جرية can see how early he was he cried بك بك شديد and he cried a serious crying فقيل له it was then said to him مصيبت نزلت بك is there a big word that has be fallen you فقال he said no ولكن استفتي اليوم اللا ملا علم عنده بأرادة فتور was asked to an individual who has no knowledge وظهر في الإسلام أمر عظيم and today and today a great كلمة he has be fallen onto Islam a great matter has happened in within Islam he is crying because Fattwa was asked to who ملا علم عنده what a person was no knowledge these people يا إخو وووو they as a poet said لا تعرضان بذكرين مع ذكره هم لي صحيح إذا مشاك المقعدي these people as مثلا أبو عمر من العالة who said this lines of poetry أبو عمر من العالة مثلا was an إمام اللغة إمام القراءات and إمام الحديث إمام and إمام in these fields and he's the one who's saying لا تعرضان بذكرين مع ذكره هم don't mention our names next to those people's names those big علمات to great he saying this because he's not be fitting for the one who is what the one that's nothing to be mentioned next to those who are worthy of be mentioned so it's important my beloved brothers sisters as we understand the severity and the of asking a person who has no knowledge but other some of these people have me that people are saying they are learning they are my shai in this country they don't know that the basic basic basic knowledge of حديث and these إما إما if you look at the the look at the look at the look at the look at the look at the look at the look at the the look at the look at the and the look at these books of and look at the conditions he stipulates and the points that he brings with his evidence one of it is that the person is able to do what he knows حديث الصلاع حديث the حديث he knows it because remember you're giving a فتوة and if you're going to give a فتوة you need to know if this حديث that you're going to use as because what is that everybody who to use something as an evidence what is you need نص مصدق بحث محقق so you need to make sure that the the the that you use is authentic and also you need to know the what to be the what to be how to extract the ruling out of it so you need to have good knowledge of علم الحديث and you also need to have good knowledge of مصطلح الحديث علم الرجال تخيج الحديث and that is pertaining to that العام والخاص والمطلق والممغيّد والمجم المميّن when it happens تعارض والترجيح how to reconcile between the evidences and whatnot if you can't then don't trouble yourself by accumulating so many sins and don't also misguide the general mass and bring them to what destruction don't do that and ربيعتو من عبد الرحمن he took it step further and he said وَلَبَعْضُ مَنْ يُفْتِي some of these people were given فتوة like that and are answering questions هَهُنَ أَحَقُ بِسِّجْنِ they are going deserving to be placed in prisons then what then these criminals that are put in prison some of these people were out there giving fatwas and answering questions and I said here the fatwa they mean by استمار تل أحكام by extracting ruling from the سنة are you with me thinking that they have the rights to go to the كتاب they have the rights to go to the سنة directly and to extract the rulings out of it are you with me brothers as for the person transmitting the fatwa of the علامة this is nothing that the scholars are speaking about and this is not what's been spoken about here استمار تل أحكام extracting the rulings from the Quran and the سنة this person who's speaking like that and he's giving fatwa's like that أحكوا بيسجنه he's more deserving to be imprisoned than all these criminals that are running outside and والله the thing you have to realize is that and this is important is that extremism it comes from this it comes from this which is that if you say that you can get fatwa when you have an ignorance with you and you have fatwa which I shared that then this gives the rights to the تكفيري to the young kid who doesn't know anything to go to كتابن السنة and to say قال الله قال الرسول without having to reference it back to any علم or anyone who said it he's just going to do that استمار تل حكام and you can't then say who are you to do that why you proceeded me in it you're my self in this وانا على الأثر I am upon your path what do you have what's the problem you have with me you use your عقل and your intellects and your rationality because you have no knowledge to use دليل and استمار تل حكام so what did you do use the what your rationality your rationality is not better than mine my rationality brought me to the conclusion of bombing this place or killing innocent people like that that's what my عقل brought me your عقل told you not to do it that's you are you with me the reason the only thing to bring all of this to an end is what يا اخوة العولة ما the scholars العولة ما and the people of knowledge what did they say regarding this we have an ayah in front of us what are the what did they really say that's the way to get the matter solved when I watch social media when I look at news reports sometimes they say who is the speaker sometimes they say this people can just go take ayahs and the Quran and use it as they wish so who they say this and will Allah it is وليل أسف الشديد response are not given regarding this they say to you you took that understanding from it good but what about this person who just took that understanding from it from the get go it's all wrong why do you think I have to understand who am I to understand the verse like that and who gives him the right to go to the Quran and read it like that this is our issue our issue is that you and I don't have rights you need to understand رحم الله مرئين may Allah mercy upon a slave عرف قدر نفسه that really knows himself and the person's honor relies on what knowing sticking to what you know وقيمة المرئ ما يحسنو your value lies in what you can perfect don't go into what you can't perfect أزيبنا حجر سلم الدخل في غيري فنه أتا بالعجائب the one who enters into a field of anyone who enters into a field that isn't from his fields he doesn't have knowledge of it أتا بالعجائب he comes with amazement are you there so what's important is that the scholars are used as the understanding of the Quran and the Sunnah نعم and what you find is that these individuals who are today looked at the Muftis of the UK are أبنى عالم لفزين عالم but they have enmity for them they want to dismiss those علماء get rid of them why do they want to do that again to put themselves forward to get rid of them means that they come forward ولي ذلك أبو صحاق الشارطبي when he's Kitab al-Atsasam he mentioned something he said وقال ابن العليا ابن العليا said حدثني اليسع يسع told me يسع told him he said تكلم واصل ابن العطاء يومن واصل ابن العطاء spoke one day فقال عمرب عميد and he said that عمرب عميد said ألا تسمعون ما كلاموا حسنة البصري this individual عمرب عميد واصل ابن العطاء from the Mu'tizla the heads of the Mu'tizla now you're going to see that this is a trait this is a characteristic very well known amongst the innovators and the people of innovation which is to believe to the scholars and dismiss them and to push them to the side common trait so يسع said I had واصل ابن العطاء speaking and saying that عمرب عميد his friend said ألا تسمعون ما كلاموا حسنة البصري can you not hear the statements that comes out of the mouth of who الامام حسنة البصري he's talking about the great imam the great scholar وابن سيرين and he's referring to محمد ابنه محمد ابن سيرين what the speech is that come out of their mouth which is what إذا ما تسمعون إلا خرقة حيض الملقات their statement is nothing except a cloth that a woman uses for her menses are you there which she finished with it and she's just dismissed it she's thrown it to the side she doesn't want anymore their knowledge and the statement that come out of their mouth it's just like that why is واصل عمرب عميد why are they pushing this propaganda why are they pushing this the reason they're trying to push aside حسنة البصري and محمد ابن سيرين and the likes of them is what is because they are thrown in their necks and they want to open the place for themselves they want that space to be available so they discredit these علماء they put them down they make them look you know evil in the eyes of the people and so what does that do it gives them a platform to speak because they say there's no scholars we need to talk and بمروري زمان they portray themselves as علماء they portray themselves as what as the scholars and that is واقِعُن الشاق that's the واقِع that we're looking at today in the eyes and that we're seeing حره we're looking at the علماء a whole lecture was done how the mistakes of the علماء and that they didn't know coffee was حلالة وحرام and then everything was made and when it was finished خلاصة القول is I'm the علم I'm the مفتي of of America just come to me and dismiss all of the علماء in the west this is the زبتة this is the overall message today they come with a pink tie and tomorrow they're going to say the same speech to you in a different way with a red tie nothing changes the message at the overall goal is one thing it's sugar coated and it's made to look presentable and acceptable to you وهاديه إخوة we need to know is this is a this is a speech that we know from before you're not coming with anything new when he goes on to say I was it was narrated that one of the leaders of the leaders of the innovators one day كان يريد he wanted to give تفضيلو الكلامي على الفق he wanted to give virtue to علمو الكلام over علمو الفق علمو الكلام is a discredited disparaged you know بالليتول science that the sharia that the religion discredits over what علمو الفق which is the reality of this religion which the Prophet said من يولي دي الله بيخيلة يفقه في الدين he wants to make علمو الكلام which was taken from the the the the the the the the Greeks and their philosophy and their علمو الكلام he wants to make that better than the thick which the Prophet praised من يولي دي الله بيخيلة يفقه في الدين anyone who Allah wants good for him it gives him the understanding of the religion look how shaitan beautifies something to you so he wanted to give virtue to علمو الكلام so how can he do that he can't do it why else there's علمو الكلام he can't exercise his extremism his exaggeration of praising علمو الكلام so what did he say فكان يقوله so this is what he kept saying شاطيبي look how he understood that this was his ultimate goal this is all he wanted to do كان يريدوا تفضيل علمو الكلامي he wanted to give presidents to علمو الكلام over what الفق so he said فكان يقوله so he used to say إن علم الشافعي الامامو الشافعي use knowledge وابي حريفة امام ابي حريفة العماري بنبشير the great امام امامو الشافعي the great imam جملة to the knowledge in totality it doesn't go out of لا يخرج من صراويل من صراويل المرأة it doesn't leave the bottom garment of the woman Hello a garment I mean in other words all they speak about is منصص postnatal bleeding and that's it that's their knowledge they don't know politics مثلا the scholars they don't know our our واقع the scholars don't have gay neighbors as one said like we have gay neighbors like I know it's a condition من عند نفسي that if a scholar doesn't have a gay neighbor he can't give fatwa about the west actually right so this is what my beloved brothers and sisters we know it and it was documented these kind of statements that they are to ring it's documented for us in the what في كتوب أهل العلم in the books of the people of knowledge so that is what brings about my beloved brothers and sisters the second one was what نهابوا العلمائي the scholars are dying out and they're going وترئيس والجهالة and the ignorant ones are placed in the place that brings about extremism pay attention to that and it brings exact extremism in exaggeration and it brings about extremism in what negligence
