Smooth they

more saline Florida earlier he was we hear you about there was a
limit to swim and to feel on your indeed
Amanda
whenever the Muslims have looked back at this
we reveled about
certain pious individuals in the past who have inspired the next
generations.
There's always a case where whenever we speak we relate the
verses of the Quran we relate a Hadith from a sunnah allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And then we discuss the lives of different individuals, be they
ascetics, people who were focused on the asker. And they exercised
asceticism from the world. The focus was Allah subhanho wa taala.
Or we speak about people who are Greek scholars who
took the Quran and Sunnah, and taught this to the later
generations left behind the legacy, a written legacy.
So, when we look at something like that, it inspires us, because we,
we could look at texts which are inspirational. But in addition to
that, when we look at individuals who took the Quran and Sunnah who
lived it in their life, and also faced challenges like we face, and
we see how they persevered and how much software they made, and how
they managed to get through those challenges, that it helps to
inspire us.
What is that Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us to make somebody
but when we see the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam making
someone being patient, then it gives us an understanding of how
it is done. The theory becomes practice. And the Sunnah is
exactly that. However, when you look, when we look back at the
time of the Sahara, we think that because they had the Prophet
sallallahu, alayhi, wasallam, in their midst,
they were special, and no doubt they were special. They were
witnessing the revelation of Allah subhanaw taala the way descending.
So sometimes the shade pump boots, in our mind is that they were of a
different class, a different type of people. They had the prophets
of Allah audiences in their midst, we don't have the prophets of
Allah Weitzman with us because he's departed from this world. So
what they could do, we cannot do.
It's a misunderstanding. It's clearly a confusion that shaytaan
tries to create in our mind so that
he wants us not to practice. He wants us to just enjoy it. I think
that because it's too difficult for us. That's why speaking about
the lives of people after the Sahaba is also beneficial.
Speaking about the lives of people after the harvest time,
the scholars the famous people that came late and that have
inspired so many people, it's also beneficial.
For example, we hear things like there's a great scholar Ibrahim
will follow me. He says that adopt to follow certain lay you are with
know whom I have met three certain individuals in his time obviously,
I have met three certain individuals that
lay your arm with
people like them can never be seen again,
that Jesus Messiah young
women are women are now unable to they don't have the ability to
give birth to individuals like that. What a statement he brought
in the hobby. He's saying that I've seen three such individuals
who you will never see anybody like them again, because we will
don't have that ability to give birth to such people.
Who are Israeli to abou OB and Qasim? Ignis Allah I saw OB
costume up
salon men are thrilled to be joined in Luffy Sophie you
the only example I can give of passing the salon is that he is
like a mountain in which the soul has been blown in the spirit has
been blown in a mountain with a spirit. You can imagine she is
explaining his defining him as this immense mountain of knowledge
and, and spirituality and, and Eman. That's the first lesson.
Then he says working to be Shabnam Hirth for Russia to work in Latvia
in love your Julian routine I'm currently in Cudahy Auckland.
Then he says that I have seen visions of hearth another great
person. And the only example that I can draw him the exalt the only
example I can give you of him is like a man who from the head to
the toe.
From the head to the toe intelligence has been infused in
him
an immensely an intellectual man This was his description from head
to toe in intellect and intelligence has been infused into
into his into his blood and flesh.
And then he says what are the two akhmedov and 100 and I saw Ramadan
no handle on him I would love for you to get an Allah Gemma either
who already have money in or what have you even been good listings.
And I've also seen under do not humble and I have seen that it is
as though Allah subhanho wa Taala has gathered together the
knowledge of the earlier people and the knowledge of the later
people in every discipline in every subject in every aspect into
him. Your guru, Masha,
when you seek Masha, he can speak in whatever he wants, as much as
he wants and he can stop when he wants. You put it to stand to
speak about any subject you give him he'll be able to just speak
without notice.
Allah's protocol has gathered together for him that knowledge of
the earlier people and the later people.
Clearly this is one person's opinion. But it does show the that
he say that I haven't seen people like that. No person like that can
be seen again. We hope that his words are not true.
Otherwise, we have no hope.
Obviously, this is his view. This is not a hadith that women cannot
give birth to such people. May Allah subhanaw taala
have many women today who can give birth to such people.
Mussolini Mussolini was one of the most famous companions and
students of Imam Shafi very close to Imam Shafi. Rafi Mamula Imam
Muslim he says, Submit to Shafi have to I heard Imam Shafi said so
this is coming from another Imam. Imam Shafi Rahim Allah He said
Imam Shafi said to me, there are three other paths. I don't mean
Agile is a man. There are three scholars who are of the wonders of
the time.
They are of the amazing wonders of the time three individuals. You
want Shafi sent this to me.
The first question he said was our bu la youredi. Will Kalimantan
affordable follow. He first spoke about double throw. That is very
strange that he's an Arab, but he is Arabic Is not he cannot say one
sentence probably.
Maybe there was some criticism, but is it an Arab? Who can't speak
Arabic? I mean, do we have any of those today?
Anyway, whatever. And then Then he said, the second person whatnot,
Julian law, you have the ofii collimated. A non Arab, who
doesn't make us who doesn't commit a single mistake in any sentence,
he says, is Arabic is so powerful,
that it has the desire for army.
Now, then, he says was sofiero and this is the point. This is Imam
Shafi statement was salaryman and a young man, a younger man
compared to all the older scholars, a young man could not
have coalition.
So don't overlook the bar that this young man but every time he
says something, it is confirmed by the older ones. It is confirmed by
the greatest scholars is a young man, but the older scholars they
confirm everything he says. They agree with everything he says. And
that is to be humble.
That is anchored on the humble for him a lot of great demand.
Another great Hadith scholar or they include Medina, you pick up
most of the famous Hadith collections and you will see it in
the meeting is one of the things for the scholars. He says.
In Allah, Allah azza wa jal laka is the head of the Bureau julaine.
Allah subhanho wa Taala has strengthened and glorified this
deal with two individuals.
This is a Hadith scholar who's read 1000s of aha, the hundreds of
1000s of a hadith of from the smallest and the longest. And he
is saying that Allah subhanho wa taala, in his knowledge, Allah
subhanho wa Taala has supported, strengthened glorified an honor
this theme with two people at a very critical moment. Meaning the
situation is very bad Islam was maybe on the brink of destruction
or destruction or elimination. And there were two individuals at
different times in history that Allah subhanaw taala brought up
who saved the deed what was what are used as the savior of this
faith?
There are two people like that, who would that be?
And he says, listen to my third, if
there is no third person like that, there's only two of them,
they will not have a third until the Day of Judgment. Again, it's
his opinion. But he's got so much conviction in his opinion, he's
saying that there are only two people like that one was primerica
as used, and they will not be the third lipids. And we pray that his
job is correct, that Islam is never at the brink of destruction
again, that we need such a person to be able to purify it and to be
able to see them the same way that these two individuals did.
He says the two people one is the arbitrariness Siddiqui only Allah
one human.
The first of them is Rebekah siddik
Rhodiola I will propose to decode the Allah one. As you know after
the office of Allah Allah He was then passed away.
They will even during the last moments of Rasulullah sallallahu
somes time, they were individuals, there were people who started to
know people who started to clean prophethood imposters, I am a
prophet, one person came to person, Allah it was to them and
said to him,
we I will have half and you will have half you will have profited
over half the people and I would have preferred over the other half
of the people. That was no side that was Maceda Allah and Allah
subhanaw taala really humiliated him in many different ways. For
example, on one occasion, he came, somebody said that our weather is
the water is not very good, is not very pleasant. So like the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam had put his saliva on his blessing saliva into
a well and he had become pleasant, the water have become good, he
tried to do the same thing and the water became worse.
Another person came with his child and said that my child is
suffering from a bad island. So like the purpose of the law, why
isn't the police the light on the eyes of it, whether your loved one
and he could see better than before and any problems that he
had any interest that he had before the that he was complaining
about disappeared? This to say that I tried to do the same thing.
And the other I also became known.
So you have individuals like that. Then what happened in the southern
southern part of Arabia is that some people they said okay, we'll
stay Muslim, but we will give the circuit we accept everything, but
we will not give the cuts. Abu Bakr the Allah when he became the
Salif, he stood up to these people. He stood up to these
people and he managed to deal with this problem apostasy people that
were coming out of the faith. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam during the course of lessons time of atrocity for the
loved one was always the softer approach Alma or the a loved one
who was always the harder approaches such on this occasion.
And what are they alone came to a conference to decode the Allah
Allah and He said to him, that how is it that you can fight against
these people?
These apostates and Abu Bakr the last two forever and he said that
if they if they would hold for me what they used to give to the box
and Allah seven No, they would only I would have to fight against
them.
So he managed to sort the issue out, he managed to quell the
problem. He managed to resolve the issue and mashallah, everybody
came back into the faith. And those that didn't there was there
were major battles between Macedo and O'Connor the Lord was already
hard and Ben when he then eventually will say the most
killed and the matter was dealt with and when amaro the alarm
became the serif after about two and a half years after or whatever
the only was the attorney for about two and a half years or so.
And then I want to go to him
Felipe. And he had he had a level playing ground, everything was
already ready and prepared for him. And then he took it to
another another level. But that was a very critical moment,
because if a worker study for the amount had not stood up to deal
with this issue, that Islam would have become different in the
different areas. Some people want to say, well, this is our concept
of Islam, that we do all of these things. But we don't agree with
this, we do all of this, or we don't agree with this or this. So
it's just like Christianity is so scattered, and so dissolves into
different factions, it's not going to become like that as well. But
the local city garden came in at a critical moment.
However, many a few 100 years later, another problem hacked into
the Muslim community. And this is the second thing, this is the
second person that I need to go to Medina speaks about, that Allah
subhanaw taala, has used two individuals in the history to
strengthen the people. One was of the workers, the decolonial, one,
and the other one, which is which the person we're going to speak
about today. What happened is, Greek philosophy began to come
into the Muslim lands. And the reason for that was harboring
Rashid Sun Madonna machine, they established this organization,
they established this, what they call the House of Wisdom, in which
they will pay huge amounts of money for people to go to go and
acquire Greek manuscripts of the Neo platonic philosophers,
Aristotle and Plato and others, and then to translate that work
into Arabic. So this was a movement that started at that
time. And if you found a manuscript which the Greeks
hidden, they used to withhold this, they will, they weren't very
open with these, they used to conceal them, and hide them. So
the Muslims managed to acquire them, they would bring them back
translate them among dollars began to have an effect in the Muslim
community. Because this was a rational, kind of somewhat
rational kind of understanding. The issue with that is this, that
what these philosophers or what the supporters of this philosophy,
the whole Neoplatonic, philosophers are Platonism, as you
call it, they their philosophy was that what the philosophers are
saying, like Aristotle and Plato, and like later, IGNOU, Siena and
others, what they were saying is that the philosophers are equal to
the profits, the equal to the profits, they're both saying the
same thing. Double truths as such. But the difference is that these
people are intellectual, they don't need a prophet, where the
angel comes down and reveal something to him. Allah has given
it to given them an intellect, such a powerful intellect, that
they can understand everything themselves. So they're on the same
par with prophets, but they don't need the prophets, the prophets
are equal to them. And anybody else who doesn't, I mean, the
common people who are not intellectual, they need the
profits, because they're not intellectual enough. Right, as
crazy as that sounds, that's what they believed. So now, this kind
of thought, didn't take a foothold in the Muslim community yet, on a
widespread spread skill. What happened initially was that people
began to just become affected by the rational arguments, the
rational arguments of the any group formed that were then known
as the Zealots, the more desolate suddenly we don't have time to go
into depth about the monitors the lights, but
essentially, this group, what they did was they took some of these
rational arguments, and they would say we believe in the Quran and
Sunnah. And we also believe in this, these rational arguments,
and wherever they could, they try to put them together. The problem
is that whenever there was a conflict, and you could not bring
them and reconcile the two things together, they would then
disregard fundamental Islamic beliefs. For example, it's an
established Muslim belief, as mentioned in many Hadith, that in
the Hereafter, the Muslims will see Allah subhanaw taala The
believers will see Allah subhanaw taala and the Promise of Allah
Salah when so far to clarify it, and he said that you will see
Allah like you see the 14th Fool.
You don't have to push each other to see it, because it's right
there. It's up there. But unless you're in New York, right or
Chicago, you know where all the high rise buildings are and you
will be able to see them. But if you're anywhere else, you should
be able to see them from wherever you want, as long as you look for
it.
So Allah subhanaw taala will be cited in the hereafter this will
be called the beatific vision the whole year. It will be a blessing
for the believers, but in this world, you will not see Allah
subhanho wa Taala and neither in the hereafter when you encompass
Allah towards me, as Allah says not to drink all of it.
Allah cannot be compass fully, but he says, You will be given a
sight. They disregarded this. They had a concept of unity that was an
extreme concept of unity that Allah will not even be seen in the
hereafter. Another thing they said, which, as strange as it
sounds, they said that, how do you how does the human being determine
what is good and bad?
How would you determine what is good and what is bad?
We can start with it by what Allah subhanaw taala has told us, lying
is bad, for education is bad,
solid is good, so on and so forth. They said that no, the the woman
who decides good and bad is the human intellect,
not Allah. And they said that Allah has to go according to what
the human intellect decides.
Whatever the human intellect decides that, that's what Allah
has to decree according to his role. So then if you ask them,
that in the Quran, it tells you the good things and the bad
things. So what is it that Allah is telling us this if the
intellect the archon, can decide this itself? They say that Allah
is just reminding some of the human beings who have forgotten
what the intellect says is good and bad, is reminding them what is
good and bad. So they have many of these have Hamdulillah this group
no longer has remained, there are individuals who ascribe with
reckon that they are marketers, these individuals in different
countries, I've heard them expressing that. I'm a
rationalist. And I would like to agree with this point of view and
so on. However, the one point about this is that this kind of
influence crept into the Muslim community.
There was one particular issue that was made a really a big
issue, which was the the difference of opinion as to
whether the Quran is created or is it eternal?
Right, is the Quran are created for eternal? You understand what
eternity means, right? Without beginning how do you say the
Norwegian
must exist? Yeah, how do you say
AB fully loaded love for a baby. That's forever, right? Eternal.
Anyway, eternal means without the beginning and without end,
alright, probably some like internal or something like that.
Anyway, whatever it is, you can figure it out later.
So just as Allah subhanaw taala is without beginning the Quran is
also without beginning it's always been there with Allah but they
said no, it can't be Allah said it afterwards. It's a it's a
complicated issue and the scholars had agreed there was a great
problem with this word all I want us to remember today is that the
opinion of the view and the belief of the understand which is that
the Quran is not created, and the Quran is eternal, just just
remember that much. If you want to read up on it later, you could
refer to the books to argue that the how we are you can refer to
the books. Just remember this. This is what the monitors you
know, the monitors even if you if you look back among one of the
groups that you see the hilarious the martyr Zilla, the different
groups on the show is that 40 minutes a smile is the report in
two groups that became very powerful. One was the monitors the
laugh and the other one was the 40 minutes. The fourth one is very
smart. Edie Shiites. They were the ones who established as a
university Egypt was in their hands. Part of North Africa was in
their hands until Salatin Rocky Mountain dealt with that issue.
But the other group was the Montecillo. The martyrs did not
have a belief. They didn't get to that level, but they influenced
much of the ruling party in Florida. We're talking about the
ambassador caliphates. How do you know Rashid was a great Kleef his
son MUHAMMAD RASHID, my Munna Rashid was influenced by the
martyrs rights scholarship now is saying that he wasn't martyrs, he
himself but he subscribed to this view about the Quran. He agreed
with the waters delights in the view that the Quran is created. So
he helped him he supported them. And that was the problem.
So, in my mind, we don't humble he is the one who stood up to the
problems. Essentially what happened is
slowly slowly,
the key this medulla Rashid, his problem was that he's very
stubborn, very obstinate, very powerful to leave. Because the
Abbas in Caliphate was probably at its most glorious time. How do we
receive is one of the most greatest of the abassi honeys, his
son loving the machine. Right so he was ruling
major parts of the world Muslim empire with all of the all of the
greatness that comes with it. So when he had a new idea, he was
very obstinate, very stubborn. And he had a lot of haste like a
child, who was very hasty. You didn't think so much before he did
things, he caused a major problem. And that is the time where in my
opinion, 100 did not stand up to this problem. We don't know what
would have become of the team.
Anyway, now to explain to you my lack of numbers before we talk
about exactly what happened, let us speak about bamboo. This is the
environment in which Mr. Mohammed Mohammed was born. That is what
I'm to explain, and many of the great people of the past
Allah subhanaw taala. When he's used them, you have to understand
the backdrop you have to understand the environment in
which they came then you will appreciate who this person is and
what was so great about these people, and it will help us
inshallah to deal with many of the issues we have today as well. You
might want me to handle.
Rahim Allah.
What's he was born in
Liberia in a world, the month in which the personal loss was also
164. Hidden, which was 164 years after migration of Alaba Islam so
he was after Abu Hanifa and our Hanifa passed away in 150. Imam
Shafi was born in 150. So you can tell that they were 14 years apart
in age Imam Shafi was was 14 when Imam Abdullah Abdullah was born.
He was from the Shiva tribe is he was a che Bernie just like
Muhammad, Hassan Sheikh, only the student things should not go any
further. So he was from the shaper tribe, which was an Arab tribe
that was known for great courage. They were known for great courage,
endurance, vigor, and grit. So they were people that, you know,
were not soft. They were people of great courage. His grandfather,
humble, humble in his grandfather's name is Henry
Padilla. He used to work with the obedience before the aversive
Caliphate was the Emir caliphates. He used to work with the Romans.
He was one of the governors of the always in a place called SOS,
which is in Orissa, Horus. And today is the area of most of Iran
and parts of Afghanistan. This is her son, and furthermore, North is
now rotten now. So he was a governor of SoLux Enforcer. Under
the Obama years, he passed away. And then Imam Ahmed Muhammad's
mother, she migrated after her husband's death as well to bother.
So now they were established in Belgrade. Belgrade was the center
of the caliphate now, because now he was the advices that
ambassadors have taken over from the players. Now the Abbas is
ruled the Muslim world, and they have taken the capital from
Damascus to Baghdad, Baghdad became the great city, where
scholars and Greek people used to come,
if you will, a little bit about that. Just in hottie Bata, this
time, the first four or five centuries, he has written a diary,
a history of Baghdad in about 28 or so volumes, or more actually,
more than that.
of just all the scholars that came to butter, but that was you can
say the superpower of the one you'd like to leave them to go to
London, they go to New York, and a number of us Hello, but you know,
they go to these they go to these cities, because that's where
things happen. With Baba was the place where this kind of thing was
happening at that time.
In my humble as a young child, he memorized the Quran. And then he
began to study Arabic literature and other things. But from a young
age, he had a very one thing about it was he had a very clear
conscious, it's very particular very scrupulous from a young age.
His uncle used to be used to work for the government, his uncle used
to work for the government. And on one occasion, used to work for the
Communications Office, the dispatches, his uncle, on one
occasion, he told in my mind with no humble young boy, that take
these letters, this communication to one of his superiors, so if I
wouldn't have been took it, and he went and threw it in the river,
because he knew that the this was all about spying and so on,
because you his uncle worked for the government and there was going
to be some, there was going to be information in there about people
which he considered that it was wrong to do so equally, he even
dropped it dropped it into the ocean, into the river,
because that people secrets in it.
He was the working one on one occasion he used to work in the
correspondents office. So the wives of the Mujahideen and of the
men who used to go out on different
state a state tasks. The women used to come and they used to tell
him they used to ask him to write, you know, because not everybody
knew how to read and write. So they would come to him and they
would say, Can you write for us this letter, and they would
dictate a letter. He was so particular that if there was
anything undignified, right in their correspondence with their
husbands, or anything, how you would not write it, I can't write
it. I'm only going to write you know, whatever is decent. It's
very particular from a young age. And
due to these qualities, some of the people that saw him, found out
about him before he was a scholar of any sort, like for example,
Haytham Hypno Julene, one of the great people of the time, he said
that if this if this young boy is longer, if he becomes older, he's
going to be a role model. He's going to be somebody very special.
He's going to be somebody very special. That's why our what we
need, we don't we don't want to listen to this as just a story.
Hour. Those of you who are mothers and fathers here, this is the kind
of rearing nurturing we must give to our children.
scrupulousness particularity about these things, conscious of Allah
subhanho wa taala, from a young age, that they don't want to do
it, not because they're scared of you, but they don't want to do it
because of Allah. If that is what we can instill in our children,
then it doesn't matter if we're looking at them or not. It doesn't
matter if they're on the computer in the other room. We don't have
to look at them all the time, though, because they fear Allah
subhanaw taala. And if the fear of Allah subhanaw taala is instilled
into young people from a young age, it's it has long lasting
effects, because that's what they brought up on. It's very difficult
often because then you have to, you have to fight with whatever
you are already our mentality and our, our way of thinking from
beforehand. So you can see from these individuals that that's what
it was. He then started studying Hadith. He started studying
Hadith.
The first person he started studying Hadith and that was Imam
Abu Yusuf. Because we use of course the famous students are
given Abu Hanifa Imam already had passed away. Imam Abu Yusuf have
become the the Judge of all judges in Baghdad, one of the highest
positions in Baghdad was given to Muhammad on machine so it was a
celebrated scholar now, at that time, in the in the caliphate in
the realm of the Playford. That was one of the first people who in
our humble began to study Hadith with
and he then studied for a number of four years from Haytham Ubuntu
machine, another Hadith scholar Abdul Rahman in the Mahi, another
famous Hadith scholar, Abu Bakr, ignore IOSH and others.
Now, as a young boy, when he's going to study
what time do you think he leaves not just when the class is
starting? Not before the when the class is starting? Not after fajr
prayer. I mean, Fajr prayer when I when we tell people we need to
start our classes of the budget is difficult. He used to leave before
Fajr
not just before Fajr his mother you start to beg him to wait until
the Fajr alarm goes used to walk the edge of time to go and study.
That's how much diligence he had in wanting to study his mommy
starter Peter is still dark come on rest a bit more than you would
got. So he had this great thing from before.
After study we both died under Scott as a partner, as most of the
scholars of the past many of the scholars the positive traveler to
go and study on the other scholars like Imam Bihari Dyneema was
definitely one of the scholars did that Imam Muhammad even humble as
well from Baghdad, he went to Basra. He studied on the scholars
apostle, he went to the ages. He just means the western border of
Arabia, which is out of Colorado, Madina Munawwara. And these areas
he went and he studied there, you went to Yemen he studied in Syria.
Essentially, he studied most of the major Muslim cities of the
world at that time under the great scholars. He met Imam Shafi in
187. He that was his first meeting with him in the hrs. That's where
he first met him that he met him again in Baghdad when Imam Shafi
came to Porter in 198 Hijiri. On one occasion,
he decided with him to marry Yeah, humane is another great Hadith
scholar that you will see his name if you read books on Hadith. They
both they were friends, they both decided to go and study in Yemen.
But they decided to go to Macomb, Colorado, Madina, Munawwara first,
and then to go to Yemen to study under the famous ID scholar of
Yemen.
Octopus of evil human as a famous collection of Hadith called the
Muslim north. So they decided to go there and then go south to
Yemen to study there. Now look at this, his respect for the
knowledge and this tells us something else when you respect
knowledge. When you respect scholars, Allah will give you more
because knowledge is not some tangible Islamic knowledge sake
Knowledge is not some tangible commodity that you can just
acquire whether somebody likes it or not. Allah has to give it to
you. And the more respect there is that knowledge will have greater
power. You can know everything in the world. But if there's no
bargain in that knowledge, we will not benefit from it. And we cannot
benefit others from it. It'll just be raw information. It'll just be
data. It's not knowledge, a sacred knowledge is that which penetrates
the hearts infuses the hearts and it benefits other people look at
this man's respect for knowledge and the holders of knowledge they
go to.
They go to Mecca macabre, and they found that shows up the result
people in Milan has come to my coma coma. Great. Well, we would
think we'll just ask him the questions here. We're just study a
bit from him here. We don't have to go all the way to Yemen. So you
have no money and who is his companion. He says, Let's just
study with him here. We don't have to go to Yemen. Imam Muhammad and
Muhammad refused. He said, It is not our it is not respectful. To
do that. We decided to go there to study. And that is where we will
go. You refuse to listen to him in Macomb Kabbalah. And they went to
Yemen to study.
And believe me, the further you go for knowledge, I'll tell you from
experience, and I'm sure the reader will be able to tell you
the same thing, the further you go for knowledge, the more you are
given, you're out of your comfort zone, you have to go through
greater hardship, because it's unfamiliar territory, you have to
spend your money, you have to do many things Allah gives you more
I'll tell you this from experience, over the years that I
have studied, the two years that I studied in different places away
from England, for example, are more productive than forming
collectively more productive, more productive for me than all the
studies that I did, in a more relaxed atmosphere. That's just
the way of knowledge you have. Knowledge gives you a bit of the
you've given it everything. It's the knowledge of Allah subhanaw
taala. It's and Allah gives you a bit after you've given it
yourself. It's not a joke. And this is the respect that took him
about I don't know, humbled to these great heights.
Then
all of this knowledge you have no money in says, I have never seen a
dog no humble. He says La Vie to Milan with a mammal. I've never
seen anybody like him lose his companion used to stay with him.
He says I've never seen anybody like you saw him now who have seen
a Santa. I was his companion for 50 years. Yeah, he had no money
was a companion of Immaculate humble for 50 years. And despite
the great knowledge that I have, with a humble to have probably
more than any memory, he says Mustafa Elena be shaping the
modality him in a solid, he will clean. Never once did he boast
about anything, any characteristic he had, or anything that he had of
the piety and, and excellence he he never boast in a single time in
50 years in front of us.
A while ago, humility, humility.
Not to be arrogant, just because you know more than others, just
because you're wealthier than others, just because you might be
more beautiful than others. So you're arrogant. Who gave you that
beauty? Who gave you that wealth? Who gave you that knowledge? Allah
did you might say, Well, my father was wealthy. Or maybe my father
was a scholar. I had a good school. Well, who put you in that
position? Who chose you to be born in that family? You didn't design
yourself. You've heard them designing
a wall put you in a position he could have put somebody else there
and we could have been somewhere else. Thanks to Allah subhanho wa
Taala humility for Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah Azza wa sallam said
whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah one reason
and whoever tries to be arrogant Allah subhanho wa Taala will drop.
May Allah protect us from arrogance.
In my mind, we do not handle an imam Shafi had a very interesting
relationship. These are two of the great demands on the four famous
Imams these are two of the greatest months.
But look at the connection between them. Imam Abu Hanifa he never saw
over the humble or Imam Shafi because he I'm sure he was born in
the year not only for passed away, and Muhammad was born after but
you know Hanifa he met with the Imam Malik. But when you look at
the MO Shafi Imam Shafi standard studied on the Mohammed Abdullah
Hassan a che burn he studied on the working evil jaw. Often these
were students of abhorrent effect.
You know, Muhammad Mohamed he studied under Abu Yusuf Abu Yusuf
was a student of Abu Hanifa Imam Mohammed Ramboll also studied on
the Imam Shafi
Although he studied under Imam Shafi Shafi used to also benefit
from him in Hadith, because he was humble was a great Hadith scholar.
But they had a big group they had a kind of friend student scholar
relationship. I mean respect for each other. Mr. Muhammad Allah
humble,
sent to shut to Imam Shafi and it's documented that Imam Sheikh
Imam Shafi, he washed that shirt, he put it in water, and he drank
some of that water for the border RG
and he put the restaurant himself because the Imam within the humble
had just gone through this Inquisition which I'll be speaking
about soon. This was after that.
If you didn't know humble he started teaching her the finally
at the age of 14.
Like the voice of Allah artisan where he gave prophecy, he became
a messenger and a prophet and the V and the Rasul at the age of 14.
Imam Muhammad Muhammad he says, I'm gonna follow the Sunnah he
started teaching Hadith at the age of 14.
It says that in Baghdad, when he taught Hadith
5000 People used to come to listen,
that's not a joke. Not 500 this place would be filled with 500
people, we're talking about 5000 people 10 times more than what
this place could hold.
And Pin drop silence, nobody moving around moving tables and
chairs and you know, stuff like that. Pin drop silence, respect
for the Hadith.
How would you without a microphone? How do you even teach
5000 People can you imagine?
Well, what they had is they have what they call studies, they have
people sitting at different intervals, who would listen and
then conveyed listen and then transfer the most of the people
behind.
In his lectures, the poor were given preference. The poor people
used to come to listen, they will given preference over the wealthy
people. It wasn't that okay, the one we had a special seating,
place, no human to come and sit wherever. But if there's a poor
person, he will give them extra honor. And he will seek them. In
all, the humble was a very simple individual, despite his great
knowledge, 5000 people attending his booths, can you imagine? He
was a very simple individual, pretty ecstatic. He never accepted
gifts from anybody in that sorry, he never accepted gifts from the
Hadith. From the ruling, they used to like to give gifts to the
scholars. So they can create a relationship with the scholars and
maybe take some favors in of them at the time of need. Maybe a nice
to hear from them when they need it. Or something like that, if I'm
going to go hungry is to refuse. He said, Well, it's not haram.
It's not haram. This was one of the humble, he was very particular
himself. He never imposed it on others. We need to learn from
that. Things of taqwa, which are aspects of Taqwa are permissible.
You can impose them on yourself and don't impose them on others.
You can recommend them to others, but you can't impose them on
others. So he used to say that I don't say It's haram. But it's
just for me, Prudence. I don't. It's prudent for me not to take
and this is my personal preference. He wasn't very
wealthy, he has some inheritance. So he wasn't very wealthy.
He had a very open heart, in everything in generosity, with his
wealth, and also just in nature. So one occasion somebody came and
abused him.
Somebody came in abusive, and
he felt bad afterwards, the person came to use the waterway, and then
must have felt bad afterwards, he regretted it. So he came back. And
he said, I'd like to say sorry for what I afford. I just said, My
Mama Mama says you don't have to worry. I already forgive you. As
soon as you left.
I forgive you as soon as you left, no grudge, but for years and
years. The government at that level, they just don't want to
deal with these things. I think there was a story that was
mentioned by Mr. Mohammed yesterday, a similar thing took
place with Imam Imam Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah, you're sitting down
once in this gathering, and somebody came and said,
I proposed to marry your mother.
Some enemy of this, he says, I propose to bury your mother.
So what are you going to say? You know, the students are getting
angry about
us. Hanifa says, you know, she's a mature woman. You know, she's a
mature woman. And finally, you've given a proposal, but I'd have to
go and ask for her permission if he accepts for not only you know,
he dealt with the issue in a in a proper way. I mean, this was the
way to defuse the situation. Even though Hamas has no need to come
back. I've really forgiven you. Very generous of heart very open
hearted
He
I think now is the time that we need to speak about his fortitude.
So he came along with the Buddha humble becomes obviously more
renowned, more famous, is teaching a hadith is benefited from so many
people.
Now, going back to what we said earlier, which was that the motor
device had began to have influence. So the ruling class now
were very influenced by the disease.
And slowly slowly, there we're medulla Rashidi center brain
edict, read commands to the different Governors of the
different cities of the Muslim world, that you need to call the
scholars of the local area, Bahrain, Yemen, and Kufa, etc, you
need to call the scholars and you need to ask them what their belief
is about the Quran.
And if they say that their belief is, is that the Quran is not
created, then you need to encourage the belief that the
Quran is created. So initially, he started off like that. But as we
said earlier, MUHAMMAD RASHID was very hasty, very obstinate, very
stubborn. And
eventually it was that anybody who did not believe in this in the
waters of idea that they will be persecuted, they will be thrown
into prison.
So scholars in the different parts of the world, they did different
things. I mean, maybe the smallest scholars, the not so renowned
scholars, they could just they they were safe, because they, they
didn't bother with it. But the more famous scholars of each city,
they will be called, they will be summoned and they will be asked
about their belief. So slowly, slowly, they started to say things
like they started to maybe to Toria, they started to maybe just
say like, Yeah, I agree, whereas not really agree just to be
protected from being thrown into prison or whatever. There were a
number of scholars, though, who refused and he said no, the
problem here is that if there is a fitna in the community, but the
the ruling class is fine, that it's that the fitna will be dealt
with, but what happens when the ruling class becomes a problem and
they become corrupt? And then they start to influence the scholars
and they start to force the scholars now to also believe in
the same ideology, this common people they look up at the
scholars for their knowledge for the guidance, if the scholars are
not willing to change their opinion, then where will it leave
the common people
will will leave the common people that is why this became a very
critical time because slowly slowly, scholars began to be
persecuted imprisoned, degraded, humiliated around the Muslim world
because of disbelief.
So now, what happens is
in Bernarda
many of the scholars have ever said okay, we agree.
Others have been imprisoned. There were four scholars who stood up
until the end until towards the end, one was Ibrahim diplomatic.
Another one was
Bishop little believes, he brought him the money we should not
worried and is hug. They were ordered to be executed. So three
scholars are executed,
of the famous cause. Then there were four left cover Ed, Sanjana,
Muhammad Maluma, and Imam Muhammad, Muhammad. These were the
four people regardless of what anybody told them, This they stuck
to it. What happened then is the move on into prison
the next day,
the next day and the day after two of them, they relented, they
agreed they said, Okay, fine, we agree with it, and they got out of
prison. So agenda and covered him. Now there were two people left
Mohammed
and Mr. Campbell. These two people they refused. They said we're not
going to agree to it unless you can give us the need and proof.
So they stayed in prison.
Mama machine at a time was in
that suits or Tarsus that suits is encouraged a turkey. It's in the
south of Turkey towards the Syrian border. Right. It's a famous city.
So Mohammed Abdullah, and Imam Muhammad Muhammad was sent in
chains from Baghdad on the way to pursues to go under MUHAMMAD
RASHID is because Pamela she was very hasty, so you guys can't deal
with them. Send them to me. I'll deal with them. On the way when
they got to a place called raka Raka is in Syria today. It's a
city close to the Iraqi border in five
correctly.
And when they got there they discovered that Imam that Mahmoud
Rashid had died.
And you'll see many of them drop right in my mind within the humble
during his life. He went he must have gone through so many cliffs.
Right so many cleaves one after the other because they're probably
old, like the Saudi Saudi monarchy or whatever, you know, one after
the other.
Because they're very old when they become honey if anywhere become
kings or whatever it is. So what will Rashid is dive on? So on the
way Mohammed even though no ties as well, because he wants to
become very weakened and everything from this now only the
person remains is 100. And the whole Muslim world is watching
this. If he drops, if he changes, what is this going to do for the
Muslim community? What is the goal of this going to do for Islam? So
as we said, like Abu Bakr Siddiq, or the Allah one Allah subhanaw
taala honest this full month Honestly, my mama did not humble.
He remained like that. They were sent back to Baghdad when they go
to Baghdad, the next Khalifa was Hmong moons brother, whose name
was Abu Hamid the water Cymbala these type these types is more
interesting villa.
More What does he know becomes the Hadith and he was instructed
before the death of his brother that you must carry this on this
Inquisition you must carry it on.
This is now the famous inquisition of Imam Abdullah humble you must
carry on. So
in my mind, they will humble NOW is brought to borders with iron
cheese around iron fastenings around his around his legs. And he
is put in front of the Hanif.
He's actually first put into prison. And I think what I should
do at this time is in my mind with no humble actually wrote about
this afterwards.
He wrote his own dilemma, his own experience of the Inquisition. He
wrote about it. I'll read to you His words.
In my mind, his personal account it he says, When I reach the place
known as Bible to stone, a horse was brought before me and I was
told to get on. Nobody helped me mount the horse. And with the
heavy chains that were forced into my legs, I had to try a few times.
And I just about managed to save myself from falling down in these
attempts. When I got on the horse, and I reached the cost of the word
costume, I was thrown into a small room, which was then locked and
bolted. There was no lamp in the room.
And after midnight, when I stretch my handout to make them dry
occlusion because he didn't know there was water there. So to make
slides, he wanted a big deal. When I extended my hands out,
I found a tumbler full of water and a basin. I performed the
ablution and offered the prayers I offered my salad on the next day.
A page took me big to the Hanif the Chief Justice if not maybe
download
that the problem was another problem that occurred here was
that many of the copies, they bought maybe Hanafi or Shafi or
whatever it was, but in a key that they will notice at that that's
the issue in fake. They will Hanafi Shafi or whatever it was,
but when it came to Athena, they had a different argument. For
example today in Yemen, you have the savings, the Hanafi in silk,
but they say be in Aikido, which is a kind of a pretty mouthful
Shiism right very close to the Sundays in that sense because they
don't criticize them. Okay, and I'm gonna do one like the other
Shiites do.
So under the Roman Scribner, we dealt with the Chief Justice. He
was the one who was leading this Inquisition. Right here. I think
he wasn't maybe Hanafi or something, but in RP that he was
Mark dizzy. They were number of courtiers. And there was a scholar
of abdomen Shafi not Imam Shafi, but one of like the right mana
Shafi he was there.
If I'm having a Muhammad says just before I was born before the
Hadith, two people have been beheaded.
Two people have been beheaded. I now look at in my mind with no
hunger he's under the stress, he may be killed. He says I asked him
about Abdurrahman Shafi, if he remembered what demand chef in the
headset about a particular masala particular issue on Messiah. I
started asking him a trick question. A question in
jurisprudence on this the imminent widow Ramallah Look at this man
he's about to be beheaded, but he's asking about jurisprudence.
In the meantime, monitors him asked me to come forward. I
reached very close to him, but I was too tired on account of the
chains that were fasting it
Pull them as they went along. I sat down. After I'd taken a small
wrist, I requested that relief permission to say something to us
something that relief granted me permission. I said, I want to know
from you what was in the house and Allahu alayhi wa salam commanded
us to do. What are the basic elements of Islam that the
prophets of Allah commanded us? The hadith kept quiet for a few
seconds, then he replied, additional La ilaha illallah to be
a witness that there is no God except Allah. So Imam Muhammad
said, Well, I believe that there is a witness that there is no God
except a large one.
And then, I continued, I said, Your great grandfather, who was
the great great grandfather of Martha Sybilla.
If not bus at us, that our buses they call that persons because
they were the cousins of the civilized and the children of our
custody, a loved one. A blessing family in that sense.
There is an there is a difference of opinion among the minima as to
whether the Romanian for Batum diversity is our best competitive
nucleus. Right? But that's another story. In this case, in my mind
with what happens if your great grandfather Imran pass is handed
down the Hadith as relates to the Hadith, in which the deputation of
Abdullah case the famous deputation of abductees come to
the focus of Allah it was some of them they asked about Islam, the
focus of the lives and asked, Do you notice reality? They replied,
Allah knows best. And the focus of Allah Himself Islam is that it
consists of shahada of bearing witness that there is no God
except Allah that Allah is Muhammad Hassan was messenger,
making saliva Zakat and, and so on.
My person that I knew where this was getting to, and he said to
him, Oh, I haven't, I would not have interviewed with you. If my
predecessor had not laid his hands on you. If I did not have
instruction from him, I would I would not have interfered with
you. Then he turned to want a similar tone to Abdulhadi noise.
How could you? Didn't I tell you to stop this did not tell you to
stop all of this.
Imam Muhammad, Muhammad said, Allahu Akbar, it's a blessing unto
the Muslims. The hadith then asked the scholars, including Abdul
Rahman to debate with me on on some issues. I answered everyone's
questions, until eventually what are similar? He said, Iman, may
Allah have mercy on you think again, what you say, reconsider
what you say to this. I said, Oh, Ameerul Momineen, showing me
something from the Quran, or the Sunnah. And I will accept what you
say.
Moto simply seems like he didn't know what to do. He was feeling
bad and guilty at the same time that he had to live up to what his
predecessor had instructed him to do. And he just wanted that to
happen. Just says yes. And I let you go. So he said,
Oh, I would if you could just say yes. If you're going to say yes, I
will set you free with my own hands. And then I will come and
honor you with all my nobles, I will come and call on me with all
my nobles,
and army chiefs. What seemed to mean is that oh, I am so kind to
you, I love you so much like my own son, our own, I love you like
my own son.
So please accept what I say.
In my packet says my reply with all such or such request was I
will accept if you can bring for something from the book of Allah.
And the Hadith of the Messenger of the Sunnah of Rasulullah
sallallahu. At last, we've got tired and he called on US session.
If it was anybody else would have been killed by
he was just trying to persuade, convince him to just say yes.
I was sent back to my jail by confinement. The next day, I went
back and the debate went on till afternoon when the honey finally
voted to suspend the debate again.
On the third day, I asked for a rope to fasten my clothes by
changing with because I had an intuition that something was gonna
happen today, something bad was gonna happen to me. And I fastened
my bottom garment security so that
my clothing would not open up in the hour of difficulty.
When I arrived at the court, I found the dignitaries of the
Empire Empire arranged on the right and the left of the five
seats, hundreds of men in splendid uniform, some withdrawn swords,
others with whips standing around the leaf. Just that site itself
would have been awesome would have been frightening for anybody
except the one who's frightened of Allah subhanaw taala alone
when I wish, the amount of sin, there are also many of the
scholars there.
He ordered me to sit down and to discuss with the scholars. I also
wrote
questions they had until he got very late. And then I was taken
aside, the Hadith said something to the scholars who left the court
one by one.
And I was again brought before Mark Dawson. He said Muhammad, may
Allah forgive you
accept what I say and I will set you free with my own hands. I gave
the earlier answer to which now he grew very angry.
And he said, Take hold of his arms and stretch them till they're
dislocated.
After this, notice him sat down on a chair near me, and he called the
executioners. Each man gave me two lashes,
while the three pay them to give him harder, harder, harder, just
to lashes for each man.
After I took 19 lashes
matassini addressed me again and said, Oh,
why do you want to get rid of your life? Why do you want to end your
life like this? Allah knows that I have great respect and regard for
you.
Another person on the side with the hilltop he saw he, he nudged
me and he said, Why do you want to carry everybody's burden before
you? Why do you want to be the one to carry on? Just give it up?
Forget it.
Another man said
respect that we were coming in just to see what you have to say
respect to a minimum in standing in front of you. A third said
Oh, Amina moving in, you're fasting and you're standing in the
sun.
But notice him I wouldn't say a mortise you've just told him to
strike me harder and harder
until they fell unconscious,
fainted.
When I finally regained consciousness,
I found that I had been unchained.
Someone they told me afterwards that I had been pulled down on my
face and trampled upon.
However, I do not know what they had done to me.
This is a moment in the humbles personal account of it.
Now you can understand why the Scholars would say that Abu Bakr
Siddiq or the Allah Han and the next man is akhmedov No humble
that Allah has used these two people at very critical moments in
our history to save the leap, in my one medical humble had not done
this. The common people would have become confused. Our greatest
scholar he's agreed to it wherever
you can imagine if all the scholars are saying something,
what the common people what are they going to think? That is why
the Scholars say
as an even Medina, he says that the two people who saved Islam at
these critical moments, but then he says one other thing, which we
can fully agree with.
He says although Abu Bakr Siddiq or their loved one who did what he
did at his time and in my mind with him, no humble save the
dinner his time. There is a difference between the two.
What is the difference? And we're gonna sit differently Allah one
who he had the whole Muslim army with him. He had people like Omar
Abdulaziz and how did sorry he had Omar people hopped out of hiding,
what do you do with them are the number one and he was able to deal
with the issue because he had all the support. Imam Muhammad
Muhammad was a single man. The other scholars were supporting him
had been killed or had given up, single man. That's why his
sacrifices some of their Omar mentioned are great and the novel
Bakr Siddiq or the number one, though there's no comparison
between the two over possibilities as a hobby. There is no comparison
with any other home at all with a companion, but in this particular
aspect in terms of the Inquisition, and the challenge
before them, admitted no honeybuns challenge and his for his
fortitude, and his perseverance was our jeebies. Remarkable,
absolutely remarkable.
Then what happens is Martha Cymbala also passes away as I told
you, they were going to drop one by one. The next colleague is
worth it below the next brother.
He was also waters he was also have the same kind of opinion. And
he still troubled him alignment but they seem that they had
decided not to kill him.
Allah subhanho wa Taala had had wanted it this way. And you can
see that the respect for I don't know humble among everybody just
increased many fold over what it used to be before he went through
this trouble was whipped was trampled upon. It seemed like
outward humiliation. But Allah subhanho wa Taala gave him so much
more respect, which I'll tell you about. But the main thing is love
His Beloved, is the next study is also trombones about badminton
100, but not to the same level. Then after him comes with a local
villa. Whatever can be lovers no longer now a supporter of the
Roger Zilla.
He was very against them he had other problems. But he was an
opponent of the market azules he had great love for him I wanted
him to humble
and
humble was was forced to become a royal guest of water working villa
in the in the palace where they were serving all of this great
such as food.
Spending about 120 demands a day or something like that. Mr.
McDonough humble and couldn't touch the food was too rich for
him.
After eight days he fasted for eight days. And there was a fear
that he became so weak that he would have died if the Khalif
didn't realize that okay, fine, let him go. You would just refuse
to eat the food.
You might Muhammad Muhammad used to say that the other three Hadith
they were easier for me to deal with. They were my opponents. They
were easier for me to deal with than with a working, beloved who's
my supporter. But the fitna that comes from him is greater for me
it's totally against what I want to do.
I think people that Allah Subhana Allah connection is Allah it
doesn't matter what the humans do.
On one on one occasion,
what the Buddha he became the study for 232 and after him was
moved to work in Villa one one occasion we're talking dinner
sends him home, a donkey laden with Layton with God's ideal gift
to Mohammed Mohammed is refusing to take it.
Finally, the message of reporting is that you must take it unless
the athlete is going to be very angry, he says, Okay, fine, drop
it off here somewhere. The whole night he could see he went to his
uncle who used to work for the leafs and he said to him, What
should I do with this, this is just give it away to the poor just
so in the morning he with his students, he made the list of all
of the poor people and then every every coin of it was distributed
in keep a single coin.
Despite this, humble as Mohammed Mohammed was so humble.
Allah had given him such all that when anybody came in front of him
they found it very difficult to speak, for example, is how
completely Brahim was the governor of bada to be the governor of
Bata, you must be a very bold individual, very powerful, very
bold individual
is having a problem the governor about that he wants comes in front
of me my mom demanded to speak something to say something to him.
But as soon as he's in front of Mohammed Mohammed he found him so
domineering, just so awesome that he started to tremble he could
speak properly.
That Allah subhanaw taala gives I've seen certain runabout like
that where you can be as bold as you are, but when you get there
you just don't know what to say because this is an it's not that
they are angry people that they're going to get angry at you because
you say something Oh, when you when you actually start speaking
to them, then then it's very soft, but you just have this all about
the Allah's Panagopoulos is respect.
The respect, the honor that the Muslim community in the Muslim
ummah now had was achieved.
Many people while Allah Muhammad Muhammad was going through this
Inquisition, many people were praying for him around the Muslim
world. A man came from pursues, were popular she used to be a man
Keven pursues for that. And he said that, while he was fighting
with the army against the buys into the Bible, the Byzantines or
the Byzantines.
During the middle of the war, during the middle of the battle,
there was suddenly a dua that was made among the among the soldiers
for EVE Online with even no hunger.
They are facing their own danger, they are fighting this war. But in
the midst of that battle, when they hear about even more humble
what's happening with him, they're making a dua in the middle of the
battle. That is accepted.
by Muhammad, Muhammad when he would hear these things he would
feel that this is all a delusion from Allah, that when you get all
of this praise than people might think, then you will start to
become very bloated and so on.
But look at this, once a Christian physician,
a Christian physician,
he was born to see the wounds of Ramadan, Mohamed, because after
one of these lashes, Imam Muhammad Muhammad was exposed to searing
pain through his back. So many doctors were probably brought in
but one particular Christian physician was brought in for his
expertise. When he came, he says to my mind that people are
humbled. I have been waiting so long to meet you. I have been
waiting so long to meet you. My people feel the same way about
you.
The Christians, my people feel the same about you that you are a
murderer a mercy not just to the Muslims, but to me
One
more was he is one of the scholars of the time he said that I told
him I didn't know humbled that the whole world is doing draw for you.
If the army in pursuit is making to offer him in the midst of the
bathroom in two hours I accepted. You're wondering why he was saved
here. people were killed in front of Moto Seaman manana she, Allah
subhanho wa Taala made him that mama she dies on the way.
Martha simula gets angry, yes, he lashes him.
But then he doesn't kill him.
But in my mind to all of this, he would say that when a man knows
his true worth, that he doesn't matter what praise has come his
way he will not be deceived by it. A man needs to know his own worth.
On another occasion, when one of the physicians were working on his
back and in those days didn't have anesthetics, you know, local
anesthetics, where it numbs the area.
They're operating on his back.
And every time there's a pain, which is going to be pretty
constant, he is constantly saying a lot more fiddling along with
fill in matters that says dua.
The doctor, the physician, the surgeon after he finishes, he says
to him, I operated on many different people. But today I saw
something quite amazing. Every time that I've seen someone that
I've operated on, they will be cursing of their aggressors. They
will be cursing and swearing at the people and inflicting pain on
them. But I see that you are praying you're making dua seeking
forgiveness from Uncle cibula. You're aggressive.
Look at the ring, the response he gives him. He says,
I thought of I thought about that. But one person is a descendant of
the family of the prophets of Allah is Allah. And on the Day of
Judgment, I don't want a case between me and the family but on
the syllabus.
What kind of Imam would you need for that?
May Allah give us a man like this so that we can deal with any issue
that comes in front of us in the right way to have the right frame
of mind, anybody will be forgiven for cursing someone at that time.
The pain that anesthetic, no anesthetic, just local surgery,
the pain that you can imagine a small tooth that's extracted, we
need big injections in there.
My mom in my humble
Allah give him a long life.
He felt extremely loyal after that when he was 77 years of age. And
now we're talking about the devil he left at the age of 77, he
becomes even more ill. And a huge number of people are coming to
visit him to see him.
His his health deteriorated further on Thursday, due to an
ulcer in the stomach.
Despite all of that mold was he was with him at the time. He says
that, despite the fact that he couldn't move much here, all of
his pain and everything. Whenever we were helping him to make wudu
he would also insist that we make a lot of his toes.
Which means passing the finger through the toaster, even though
it's not necessary because the water reaches there anyway. But
it's almost there. To make sure it does. He's been doing it all his
life. He's doing it now. Until the last vote. He's doing this.
He was so particular about these things that I don't know if any of
you have been to a third world country.
Perfect.
But I remember when I was about six years old, I went to India to
the village and I was trying to buy ice cream from the guy on the
trolley that comes to sell ice cream. And in those days didn't
have paper plates and disposables and things like that. You know
what they used to serve ice cream on?
leaves
on
leaves
which means you go into the forest, right? And you just pull
up close the leaves off. And mashallah you've got your
disposables natural, organic and the works. So you take the leaf
and then you throw it away. You know, even nowadays, when you go
to somebody who speaks directly to the newspapers, in my mind, that
didn't happen when he used to order some butter or something
from the market and he's to come on a leaf used to take the butter
or whatever it was often send the leaf back
that I didn't buy that. He used to say I don't tell you to do that.
It's not necessary for you guys to do that. I do this for myself.
That's why as I said we talked about yesterday the
glitz and glamour remodels on the hidden Linkara. One needs to
really realize all these aspects of Taqwa it's for yourself, you
don't go around imposing it in a strict military style on others.
You want it to humble is a is a role model for all of us. He's
respected among everybody is an imam.
And anyway, so many people really started to come to visit him
because of his illness that the police have, they had to actually
put up roadblocks and they had to actually you know, like a to a
major conventions. If there was a major conviction convention or
that there were there was going to be a major traffic jams and so on.
The police needed to direct the traffic that's how many people
Mr. Hackett didn't know handle.
He finally passed away on Friday the 12th overview and
it wasn't a Monday but it was a Friday the 12th of review our 241
He
he lived his
good 77 years. Imam Shafi lived
many years,
less than 5077 years
and
the whole of Barbados
how many people do you think into his funeral?
Any guesses?
Good guess anybody got another guess?
Bit more than less.
800,000 men
800,000. Men, art luck.
That's just men. Women don't go out to funerals. Traditionally,
they've never been out to funerals. But the respect this man
had was so great in the hearts of the women as well. How many women
do you think and not?
60,000 women.
I mean, this spontaneous, that 860,000 People do his funeral.
That means the more you get any single person that is a servant of
Allah and accepted servant of Allah, can you imagine the number
of people that are making dua and Allah subhanaw taala accepting
that if we can have 1000 people in our field, we'd be happy.
This is nearly a million people.
Just short of a million people. That is acceptance from Allah
subhanaw taala.
And you mustn't think that this is something that can no longer be
achieved. I know one of the scholars said earlier that women
are unable to bear to to, to have to give birth to such men, but we
would take that as his opinion. We want to look at optimistically
that women still have the ability to to be get scholars of this
nature and Imams of this caliber
it's related
by M Nakajima says that when you see somebody love Imam Ahmed
Mohammed, you should know that he is a follower of the Sunnah. The
same loving
to humble is a sign that you are a follower of the Sunnah
Ibrahim and know what He said Be suspicious of the faith and the
email of the one you find irreverent Akima Muhammad Muhammad
is a dolt in his email.
Imam Muhammad Muhammad was an Obama and he was a great Imam of
Hadith.
It's related by the SUTI that Mr. Ramadan no humble had memorized
1000 1000 IDs.
And I say like that because if I say a million 1000 1000 is a
million for say a million people normally take that as an
exaggeration. You know, a new 1 million Honey You know, like
loads, know 1000 1000 ahaadeeth is what he knew,
memorized
everything he followed the Sunnah once a particular fruit was
brought to him. And he asked, is there any narration he couldn't
think of any narration in which the books blossom eat that fruit
and how he hates it? So he asked around to the Hadith scholars that
Do you know of a hadith which this was eats and in which way? They
said no, we can't isn't okay, take the fruit away. There's no need
for me to eat it if I don't know the way to eat it.
from Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, I'm not going to die if I don't
meet that fruit.
What chicken for that matter, or whatever it is Turkey or you know,
whatever the case is
Subhanallah
when, in the beginning of this Inquisition, he was taught to
hide,
so he hid with one of his students.
Even Mohammed,
Ibrahim and Mohammed he hid with him he hid in his house.
After three days,
my mom was in Hamlet says, Can you find me another place this event?
Mohan is wondering, my place is completely safe and secure. Why
does he want another place for so
he says, the bottom house I don't trust any other place. This is the
best place you could be in your market. Muhammad is insisting and
then finding some if you find me another place, and I'll tell you
why. So Fine. Ibrahim Rouhani found another place for him. So
when he was going, Imam Muhammad did not humble explained. He said
that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam beat him in that 1k For
three days.
I can't hide in the same place for more than three days either.
Today we ask is the beard pseudonym, pseudonym aka virgin
father, it doesn't matter. There is a limit of opinion in the Shafi
school, that it's not necessary to have a long beard. But who cares
about that? What did the purpose of the lorrison do?
Always I mean, I don't want to bang on about the beard issue. I'm
just using that as an example of anything. Just look at what the
promise was. And if you can't do it today, take the opposite if you
have to, but have you intention that you will do it tomorrow
otherwise, how can we reach any? How can we? How can we even dream
of any kind of respect in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala.
And this is not unique. This is not to say that this was only my
magic number. We don't want to diminish his status. Or one of our
recent scholars, which I'm sure there are no borders of the Indian
subcontinent when the British word ends on the cost of Knology should
look like a simple person. So first used to just kind of go
around and they won't even notice he's there because he's very
simple, just like a normal other villager. But eventually his his
people they really insisted so he went and hid somewhere and after
three days he's walking around again. says what happened? He says
what a Boxer was abolished for three days I can't have more than
that.
They will no longer was the focus of Allah it was syndrome. And
that's where you get seven you know, that's where you get 800,000
people at your Janaza prayer. May Allah subhanho wa Taala
give us the dough for you. To follow in the footsteps of these
will be inspired while these people may Allah subhanho wa Taala
given May Allah subhanho wa Taala raise among us people of this
caliber who can inspire us and may Allah subhanho wa Taala accept
whatever we do, may Allah forgive the bad we do. May Allah forgive
the bad ideas we haven't had last panel. it'll inspire us with all
this work. And we'll handle
