elders I want to and our friends here I want to actually thank
monarch amatola So I wish I could actually speak to you in Kashmiri
unfortunately I can't it sounds of Ronnie to me. It sounds like
Pashto to me. But it sounds really nice. I wish I could learn it one
day inshallah.
Hopefully you can understand English anyway, that's what I'm
going to be speaking to you in. What I want to mention today,
mashallah, you've heard many great pearls of wisdom already. What I
want to mention to you today is that in the time of Rasulullah,
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
whenever anybody had a question, it was very simple. They would go
to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and ask him, What is the
answer to this issue this question, and he would either
respond to them straight away, or he would wait for revelation of
ye. And then after that he would give them an answer.
After the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam during the
time of the Sahaba and the time of the terbutaline because the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was no longer in the dunya
whenever people had a question, they would then go to the sahaba.
And then after that, that beam, what happened is, some of the
Sahaba had heard certain things from the Prophet salAllahu alayhi
wasallam, another Sahabi had heard maybe something slightly different
about the same issue from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam.
So there seems to be an apparent difference of opinion. I'll give
you a simple example.
One of the examples is that once a hobby relates that when a person
is fasting, it is not permissible. You should not husband should not
kiss his wife.
And another Sahabi relates that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
allowed that to happen. In one case, the prophesy Lawson said you
shouldn't In another case, he said it's okay it can be done. So, you
have what seems to be two conflicting durations? Which one
is right? Which one is correct? How do you deal with this? So they
are both right. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said both
things, but the one answer which he said that you should not kiss
your wife, this was for somebody who is young, newly married,
because if that person kissed his wife, then maybe he would not be
able to withhold himself and he would carry on maybe break his
break his fasting.
Those who are probably newly married or not married, may
understand what I'm saying.
Do you guys have any response? So do you guys understand what I'm
saying? Yes. Okay. Hamdulillah. Now, the other person who said
that it's okay for you to kiss your wife, this was an older
person, he's a veteran in marriage, he can kiss his wife is
no problem. What we mean by kisses on the cheek or something like
this, nothing more than that. So this is how the Allama they looked
at these conflicting narrations, and they tried to provide a way to
understand them and the fatwa in the situation. So you had the
likes of Imam Abu Hanifah Rahmatullah Hara Lee, then Imam
Shafi Imam, Malik Rahmatullah in Madina. Munawwara in Abu Hanifa
was in Kufa and you had Imam Muhammad didn't know humble you
had Imam Ozeri. In Syria, you had late Hypno salad in Egypt,
Rahmatullah here I name you had numerous other great other ma who
are doing this work of trying to explain the Quran and Sunnah to
the people to respond to them. Slowly slowly, though, within
150 200 years, 200 years or so, the OMA eventually concentrated on
just the form of hubs, the mud hub of Imam poverty, of Lathe of New
South of Jaffa sodic of Imam Ozeri, Tao, the vahidi etc. They
all died out, they did not continue. It was only these four
that continued. Now, if we just to look at Imam Abu Hanifa quickly,
Rahmatullah here are they?
The way Imam Abu Hanifa story is actually a very inspirational
story. And I say this because it gives many of us a lot of hope.
Mr. Will Hanifa Rahmatullah did not start studying
He was a young boy. He was a businessman, a very successful
trader, he used to sell plots. He was very shrewd. While he was a
businessman. He had developed a good understanding of the Islamic
Aqeedah. And before he studied fic, and mosyle, and jurisprudence
at all, before he studied it, he was proficient and an expert in
aqidah. That's why he himself says that more than 20 times I went to
Basra. He was in Kufa, Kufa and Basra were two cities that were
established in the time of Oman, Qatar, Radi Allahu Anhu brand new
cities, right for the Muslims who had gone there, the Sahaba, etc.
So Basra was a place that was always problematic. I don't know
if you have a place like this in India, one city where lots of
Philippi have come out of lot of sectarians come out of there's
just a natural propensity within the people that they have this
idea of always debating people. So in Basra, in Basra, you had
various groups of the martyrs zeolites and of the Shia and
raffia. And many, many other groups, Imam Abu Hanifa said I
went there over 20 times to debate with the people and Al
Hamdulillah. He managed to convince them before this was
before he studied any at all. This was while he's a businessman. So I
see that I'm sure there's many business people sitting here. If
you think that you can't do anything, look at the example of
Abu Hanifa. While he is there, he's also doing he's also giving
service to the deen of Allah subhanaw taala. One day somebody
came and asked him a question, a fifth key question. And he says,
Well, I don't know the answer. He says Go and ask him. I didn't know
it'd be silly man. ravintola Haley, who was teaching in the
masjid?
And when you find the answer, come and let me know as well because I
want to know as well. So when she came back when the person who had
questioned him came back and gave him the response, he says, Hollis
let me drop all of this. And he went and he sat in Hama did not be
Solomon's merciless, and he started studying fic. Now he's
such an intelligent genius that Imam Malik when he when Mr. Abu
Hanifa went to Madina, Munawwara and he met Imam Malik Rahmatullah.
They had a meeting that he came out and then somebody asked him
Are Malik Rahmatullah Haiti? What do you think of him because
everybody has heard of this great man from Kufa, who has all of
these, this great fic so now they all wanted to know who is this
person? So Imam Malik says that right Roger and lokala Mojave
Surya de Robin la cama be her jetty, which means that I've just
seen a man who, if he claims that this pillar, any one of these
pillars is made of gold, he would be able to prove it to you. He was
such an intelligent genius with all of his righteousness and
piety. So eventually, then he excelled in thick as well, before
he was an expert in aqidah. Then he became an expert in fic And
subhanAllah, then we know the rest of the story because the half of
the Ummah today is basically following that, following that Now
why does half of the Ummah follow the Hanafi? School? Was it a
conspiracy? Was it a plan, it was no plan at all. This was just an
organic reaction, that some of the best understanding of FIP,
especially through the abovesaid empire, especially through the
Abbas empire, whenever they would establish all these and judges in
different parts of the realm and their dominion, they would
generally choose Hanafi, Qaddafi Hanafi all these and Hanafi judges
who then would have Hanafi 50s, and thus it spread, then of
course, after that you had number of other dynasties. And then after
that you had the earth money caliphate. And thus, about 50% of
the world is, is generally throughout. I mean, if you just
look at the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan, you know, we were
talking about 400 500 million Muslims just around in this area.
And then after that, you look in China, there's about 100 million
Muslims there who are Hanafis and you know that my point is not to
give you statistics today, right. I don't want to bore you as a
another statistics lesson. We're here to talk about him Abu Hanifa
so Rahmatullah Haley. So now, what I want to mention is a few very
important things that I want to try to answer certain common
questions, quite common confusions rather that people have with
following a madhhab or following certain aspects of a Muslim. I
think hopefully that may be a bit a bit useful. Inshallah, first and
foremost, let's explain one thing.
There's a famous Hadith as related by Imam Abu Tao, the mom tell me
the numerous other narrators about the Ummah, the prophets of Allah,
some saying this ummah will split into how many sects 73 sects,
every one of them will be in the fire except one or only one of
them will be saved. There's different wordings of that
narration. First and foremost.
72 And then the one.
So, what this is speaking about is this is speaking about not a
difference in
difference in mosyle difference in jurisprudence, it's not speaking
about that, because anybody in history in the Classical Period,
whoever differed when it came to Messiah, they never did the fear
of each other. They never condemned each other to cover the
Shafi is never said Hanafi psychother Hanafi is never said
Maliki is a Kaffir. They all said this was the other between them.
Now mark these words, this was the other between the MME ra II sorry,
yeah, the middle Hopper, what are you a hopper? Yeah, terminal swab,
which means that my opinion is correct. I mean, of course, if I'm
going to follow an opinion, I must believe it's correct. Otherwise,
why should I follow it? So based on the evidence is that I have my
opinion is correct. But your opinion is my opinion is correct,
and it has the possibility of being wrong because it's an
endeavor and an HD heard. It's not. It's not a definitive, it's
not definitively in the Quran, these are all on the HDR the
issues on the peripheral issues. My opinion is correct, has the
possibility of being wrong. Your opinion is incorrect, but has the
possibility of being right. This was the other end of Hamdulillah.
Today, I have many Maliki friends, many Shafi friends, we'll have a
healthy, friendly debate, but we love each other. And that's how it
should be that's how the OMA was for 1300 years. Until the
beginning of this century. Nobody rejected mother hubs until the
beginning of this century. And I'll give you an example of this I
want you to take part in this wake you up a bit.
Can you I want I want the names of five of the famous agreed upon
scholars that first come to your mind from after the time of Imam
Buhari radicalized so after the two hundreds, right anything from
380 to two before 100 years ago. I want you to give you the names of
five great scholars. Let's start Come on give me one name quickly.
Imam Ghazali Mashallah. My favorite number two
Sorry.
No shall will you Allah Yes, that's that's Indian second we can
take that class. No problem shall with you. Law number three.
Sorry.
Even though Tamia just like a law here, number four.
Sorry, Imam Razi. Okay, number five.
Sheikh Abdul Qadir jeelani, just a common law here and you'll have to
remind me about the Mughal. Now these are five scholars that the
whole world knows about. They accepted scholars, there's no
question about them, they accepted scholars. Now let's analyze each
one Imam Hassan Ali was a great Shafi jurist. He wrote books on
Shafi or seul, great Shafi jurists who was number two,
share with you Allah sha Allah, Allah is supposed to be Hanafi we
all know that. No doubt about that. Number three, it was able to
take me around to La Hypno Tamia Rahmatullah. They have a limited
Tamia. He was a humbly scholar. He was a humbling scholar. His father
was a humble scholar, his grandfather was a humbly scholar
and ajeeb This is a one family were all the son, the father and
the grandfather. They wrote one book together in a school.
In OSU, yes, they had differences with the humbly school. They were
humbly but they had certain differences with the humbly school
and that is permissible for them. They are much the hidden in there,
right? They have the right in the Hanafi school. We have people like
Imam bahagi Rahmatullah the great Hanafi scholar, but he had some
differences with the rest of the Anopheles that's fine, but in
general, he followed everything of the Hanafi school. You look at the
Shafi school, same thing you have one great scholar like Imam
Ghazali Imam Edna Hydral as Kalani Rahmatullah era, they were Chevy's
but they inserted mosyle few few, they had some tougher rouda they
had some isolated opinions of their own, ignore Abdullah Maliki,
same thing. He was Maliki but had certain tougher road and that's
fine from which the head level is nothing wrong with that, but
again, it no Tamia is a humbly scholar. Number four was who who
was after that. Imam Razi. Imam Razi, was a great Shafi scholar,
and finally it was Imam Abdul Qadir jeelani, Rahmatullah Halley
and he was a humbly scholar. So these are all, every single person
you will mention, from those centuries, 1200 centuries, they
were all following a method. They were all following a method. The
only exception to this was some of the vahidi scholars now with a
variety ignore hasm a variety. These were literalist, they were
considered to be separate, but the majority you can bring me any more
names that you want. It's only in this century that this claim that
you should not follow a mother. And I say this with all honesty
and all in I want to I want to under
Standard in an academic fashion. Firstly, anybody who says that you
should not follow a mother, let us analyze this idea. This idea you
shouldn't follow a mother Okay, fine. Today, if I
if I decide I won't be Hanafi anymore, let me go directly to the
Quran and the Sunnah. And I will study and I will make and develop
my own Fick. Okay, so I've developed my own faith. Now, will
the people who claim that you should not follow a mother? Will
they accept me? I don't think so. Why will they not accept me,
because I may not be following the same narrations and Hadith that
they consider to be sorry, or the fact that they consider to be
right, that their scholars, their elders of the last 100 years have
told them is right. It's not about not following them. It's just
about not following any of the form of hubs and following a fifth
method, which is just the new model. That's what the idea is,
it's not that anybody who goes and studies the Quran and Sunnah
directly, that they will be accepted, not necessarily, because
it's about a particular manager or an ideology that certain people
think that is the correct methodology. And everybody should
just follow that methodology. Now to move on.
One of the other things that I want to mention is that
if you mix and match within two month hubs, and say that, okay,
today, I,
if you're married person, you just touched your wife, you came,
you're coming to the masjid. And you you grazed your finger on
something and you started bleeding.
And then you decided that now it's solid time my window is broken.
My window is broken, both according to the handpiece and the
Sharpies, according to the handpiece is broken, because you
bled according to the Sharpies, it's broken because you touched
your wife, right? According to the handpiece, if you touch your wife,
it doesn't break your womb. And according to the Sharpies, if you
bleed, it doesn't break you. But the opposite is right. So now this
person thinks I touched my wife according to 100 Thieves, it
doesn't break my window, so no problem. Now I blame a blood as
well, I got no time for will do according to the Shafi is that's
okay, as well, hello as Bismillah lets me pray them us, right. Now,
the problem here is the problem here is that you are cheating.
Right? It's cheating. The reason you're cheating is you're taking a
result of one methodology, and another result of another
methodology. And you're mixing the two together. And anybody who's
academic will understand that, that is just not right, you have
to go with a single framework, when you analyze anything, you
have to have one common framework that you have to deal with. If you
take two different frameworks and you mix them up, it's a confusion.
Anyway, that may be a bit complicated, but that's not an
issue. The other point I want to make is that could we have a
another month up today? You know, is it possible to have another
month today after the four great Mother's Day of the past? Is it
possible? technically possible? Well, theoretically it is possible
theoretically. However, I'll tell you what the problem with it is
when you today if somebody wanted to start a mud hub, they would
take all the Quran and all the database of all of the Hadith that
you know that is available today. And they will say okay, these are
the Messiah of Salah, these other my side of a socket and so on.
Now, the problem with this is that they will be based they will be
basing their madhhab on pure theory only on text. They don't
have a practical living manifestation of the of the
Sunnah. What do I mean by this? What I mean by this is Imam Abu
Hanifah Rahmatullah as was just described by Moses Almanza as
well, that Imam Abu Hanifa he had he saw Sahaba the people he was
living with with Tabby and he was a tabby himself. These are the
people who had inherited the way of Rasulullah sallallahu. How the
Islam how Islam was, Islam was practiced in Madina Munawwara that
is what he saw in Kufa. So if you can't, if he couldn't understand
the Hadith, he would see how it is outside openly being practiced.
Imam Malik Rahmatullah Howdy, in front of him in front of him, he
had the anvil of the annual Medina, which means he had the
practice of the people of Medina, which he considered to be
evidence, because this was the same practice only 100 years after
the Prophet salallahu Salam, 150 years, you know, within 150 years
of the practice, people were working at that time, it was still
a living tradition. Can you show me any place in the world where
the Sunnah is practiced, where you can show me how Islam was
practiced in the way it was practiced.
Medina Manoa Can you show me anyplace in the world where his
practice like this today? So if I have all the Hadith at my
disposal, I will only have text, I will not have any practical
demonstration. So I will, my mother will be inferior to any of
the mothers of the past, because those mother hubs, they also took
practice into consideration. Okay, another point, because of the
shortness of time I'm trying to, this is a bit of a roller coaster
ride, but hopefully you will appreciate I do have this in more
detail on my website zum zum academy.com. There's a full detail
of this of this on there, which if you're interested, you can look at
that later. Another question that generally is asked is that there's
so many weak Hadith, weak dive Hadith that are used by the 100
views, for example, and Shafi isn't and so on. So why do you
base your Messiah and your madhhab on weak Hadith? Well, look at this
Imam Bukhari Rahmatullah. When did he die? He died around 256 Hijiri
approximately 256 When did Imam Abu Hanifah Rahmatullah they pass
away? over 100 years before that 150 That's when he passed away.
The narrator's the Rawi is the narrator's of Hadith that Imam Abu
Hanifa took from above the narrator's at least two
generations before Imam Buhari, so it is likely that the hadith is
saying right now. But then between Imam Abu Hanifa Imam Muhammad
Allah is time. A week Narrator continues to transmit that hadith
of Imam Bukhari rejects it.
Imam Abu Hanifa is taking saturations. But when it gets down
after one century, the narrator's of the fourth or fifth level, they
are now weak. That's why I'm Abu Hanifa rejects it. So you would
have to undergo a really in depth study to really say that these are
how these were weak at the time of Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi
that's why these are complicated issues. Now another thing that I
want to mention is that Imam Hanifa Abdullah, he said, either
Sahil Hadith Muhammad Javi if a hadith is sorry, then it is my
mother. Some of the Imams have known also to say if you see a
sahih Hadith that goes against my opinion, then throw my opinion
away and take the sahih Hadith. So now every Tom Dick and Harry,
every Omer Bakr and Omar, you know, they they think they have
the ability to do this, who was Imam Abu Hanifa until I speaking
to when he said this, who was Imam Shafi addressing when he made this
gave this advice. He was speaking to his students, the other Ma, and
he was saying, yes, if you find another sahih Hadith after me, and
you have the right to look at Hadith, because you are more
Hadith in then you can do this, but am I allowed to do this? Is
anybody allowed to do this just because somebody tells them you
you have a sahih Hadith and they don't even know Arabic? They just
have a translation of Buhari or something like this. Do you
understand what I'm saying? The complicated procedure here. Right.
So when he says that if a hadith is so he then dropped my mother
herb and take the sahih Hadith, he is speaking to his students, the
other MA The fuqaha, the MaHA the theme, that's who he's speaking
to, not just anybody on the street. That's another thing. And
sorry, if I'm going very fast, but I'll say I'll mention another very
important point.
I thought a lot. Why do people criticize the Hanafi is for for
saying that they are Allura II, they are people of opinion, they
reject Hadith. Why is that? Why do they say that? Now? I did a bit of
a study and what i This is the conclusion I came to. I'll tell
you the conclusion I came to
the conclusion I came to is that the Hanafi Muslim
Imam Abu Hanifah Rahmatullah his insight was so deep and so
profound,
that it was not something that everybody could understand all the
time.
It was so deep, that it's so intellectual that not everybody
would understand it. But when they did understand it, they would
appreciate it. And then they would be converted. I'll give you an
example. There was a great scholar called Risa ignore urban isa
ignore urban Rahula. Here, they, he used to criticize him on
Muhammad. I don't want to listen to you guys. You guys. You reject
Hadith. You bring ideas from your own minds and opinions and you
don't have any backing from Hadith. One day, somebody told
Look, why don't you sit in the dust and Listen, why don't you sit
in the class and listen carefully. So one day, he was forced to
listen and he listened. And then he realized, and then he became a
great Hanafi scholar, because then he realized, wow, these people
have very profound understanding and insights. So he became a
convert in that sense I give you
Another example Hanafi it first spread from Kufa and Barbuda, its
spread to Morocco now transaksi Aina above the amu, Darya,
transacts and also to her son. That's why bulk is a very
important place where the early Hanafi madhhab developed. It came
to Egypt, Syria later Amantha how your Abdullah who died in
approximately 321 or 324 Hijiri. He was from a Shafi background.
His uncle is you know who his uncle was Imam Mussolini. And you
know who Imam Hussain is Mr. Musa Nia Abdullah is the main man of
Imam Shafi. Great Adam. He used to teach Imam to Javi Imam Muhammad
Abdullah eventually saw some Hanafy books that his uncle was
consulting, so he started looking at these books as well. And he was
just so enamored and so effected by the Hanafi way of reasoning
through the Hadith. Give me a minute,
give me a minute.
He was, so, he was so influenced by this that he became a Hanafi.
He is an abnormal Hanafy within Shafi is Egypt did not have many
100 views at that time, he is one Hanafi among wala Shafi scholars
there at the time, why, again he saw the profoundness of thought
and understanding so many exams. I'll give you another example Imam
Muhammad a che Bernie Imam Muhammad Shibani was a young man
when he studied under Mr. Barney Frank Tillery. After Imam Abu
Hanifa passed away, Imam Muhammad Imam Muhammad was still young. He
then went to Madina, Munawwara and he studied under who Imam Malik
the Creekmore had this imam who he studied under him he relates the
whole book of MATA from Mr. Maryk parameter Lolly, but he still
stays a Hanafy. Generally, when you study with one teacher, then
you go to study with another great teacher. You generally sometimes
people become influenced and they change their thought process. No,
he stays very much a Hanafy. He relates his own water from Mr.
Merrick. But then he uses all the generations that are in evidence
of the Hanafi school and American Hanafi schools are very close
together in many other many issues anyway, the medina school and the
cufon school very close, they're very similar. That's another
example somebody who sees another opinion another way another
methodology but still gives preference to the Hanafi way. What
so this My conclusion is that it's the profoundness and deeper depth
of understanding that is not open to everybody. And that's why they
initially they say they criticize the Hanafis but when they begin to
understand then they appreciate it. That's why when the marble
honey battle, I meant Imam Jaffa sadhika Mr. Barker, one of the two
he was criticized instead how come you reject the Hadith and you give
opinions from your right so then when you Malibu I never responded
to him then he said Masha Allah does not allow here and that is
clarified. So now
I'm just going to make a few more points before before we finish.
One of the examples that are give is what
what moves the Abdullah amount of myostatin also gave is a very
interesting account. One of the Malabo Hanifa Hadith teachers was
Mr. Amash, Mr. Amash, Mr. Amash, when he began to realize that if
you want to understand and jurisprudence Imam Abu Hanifa is
very powerful. So he came to ask him a question once and this is
what he said to him.
He said to him, What is the answer for this masala this issue? So him
Abu Hanifa said, my opinion on this matter is such and such. So
Imam Amash said,
How do you How did you develop this opinion? Where did you get
this opinion from? What's your evidence? So you Abu Hanifa said,
Oh, you report it to us. A Hadith you report it to us from Abu
salah, who repeat a report from Abu Hurayrah. You also reported us
from Abu Musa al who reported from Abdullah even muster wouldn't you
report it from India so reported from Obama's Rhuddlan Saudi or the
Allah one that Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
such and such and he related the Hadith to him. You also said and
then he mentioned a number of other generations and atlases and
said, stop, stop. That's enough. That's enough. That's enough. He
said, What took me 100 days to relate to narrate to you, you
repeat it in an instance. And I was not aware that your practice
was based on the same narrations, the same narrations. Then he said,
Oh group of jurists of folk Aha, you are you are the physicians.
Were just the chemists and the pharmacist. This is very important
to understand. See the Hanafi madhhab what they what the Hanafis
did was they said we don't see the point of just no
Writing Hadith for the sake of preservation, the way you were
going to preserve preserve the hadith is by extracting some
Messiah from it. We're going to keep the Hadith alive in practice.
So for immobile honey for artillery, he wanted Hadees that
you could act upon that were practical. That's what he
incorporated his narrations. That's why if you want to look at
Hanafi Soudal Hadith, it's in the books of Surah Fick in the chapter
of sunnah that's why they don't necessarily always have other
Hadith collection isn't what's the point. This is the way to preserve
is a different methodology you can agree or disagree, but that is the
methodology and that's why it's been so effective. And so
influence around the world that they they've preserved the Hadith
like this. Another thing was the MO honey for artillery was very,
very specific, very careful and cautious in the Hadith that he
took. You know, among the, among the Hadith in there are two
opinions about relating narrating Hadith.
There is a concept called reliable manner, and rewire Beloved.
Reliable love means that some like Abdullah Abdullah Masuda, the
Allahu Allah and a few Abu Bakr Siddiq rhodiola, one day felt that
what ever words the prophets Allah, some use the exact words,
that is how it has to be related. You can't just understand the
meaning and use different words to say the same thing. This is called
reliable love, taking the literal meaning literal meaning and
conveying the literal meaning. However, the Mohabbatein have
written that if you had to restrict people to the literal
meaning, then we would not have as many Hadees today or would it be
lost because it's very difficult to remember the exact literal
meaning. That's why reliable manner, which is that they
understand the Hadith and they sometimes the word may have
changed, but Imam Abu Hanifa hotel, it was very particular
about reliable love. That's another thing about Mr. Barney,
but that's why the his Muslim, he has a Muslim which is got numerous
iterations. So, these are two reasons One is reliably logs he
was very particular about and number two, he wanted Hadith to
practice upon them. So
in order to finish finish my talk, I just want to mention that
the whole concept of questioning this idea is a very recent
concept, because if you look at the great scholarship of the
accepted scholars and orlimar of the past, they all follow the
method. Yes, the only thing is that they may have had an opinion
that was against the Muslim and which is completely fine for a
much the head to do that not for a common person. So I ask Allah
subhanaw taala to help us because Imam Abu Hanifa when you look at
for example, half of the ceremony he relates that Imam Abu Hanifa
engaged himself in the acquisition of his of knowledge and exerted
himself until he achieved what others had not at the time. Once
he visited monsoon, the Abbas it cliff, which African monsoon was
the, the second Abbas Khalifa after his uncle suffer he's the
one who established Baghdad as a city great Khalif once he visited
him, and he found isa Abu Musa with him. Isa if the Musa set to
monsoon, this is the scholar of the world today. This is these are
the people of his time praising him. And one more quote I'll
mention is Abdullah hibel Mobarak Rahmatullah how it relates that I
entered Kufa and I inquired from the scholars as to who is the most
learned person in the city. They told me, Abu Hanifa Rahmatullah
Haley, then I inquired from them as to who was the most devout
worshiper arbit devout worshipper, and the one who's most occupied in
acquiring sacred knowledge. And they said, Abu Hanifa or Abdullah,
hurry, every good characteristic that I asked about, what about
this? What about that? They always said, we don't know anybody with
that characteristic.
Who that characteristic could be more better attributed to than Mr.
Rouhani for artillery. So this is where I end my my talk. May Allah
subhanahu wa taala grant us great respect and honor and dignity of
these great Masonic and Imams of the past and allow us to follow in
their footsteps because to reject any of the formal hubs and take
something new from today, which has had not had the test of time
is basically like, you know, having a nice Rolls Royce and you
give that away and you say, give me this big car car, you know,
this, you know, that's basically the way it is today. So Allah give
us respect of our tradition, and assist us and help us and accept
us all for the service of his Dean. Welcome to Donna O'Neill.
