The history of Islam is discussed, including the split of vertical lines and ideologies used. Personal virtue and criteria for statement made are also discussed. The "the" concept is discussed, with one speaker suggesting that the majority of practitioners consider the same group of people to avoid distraction and confusion.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			Now,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			if we look at the various
different sects, in light of the
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			Hadith that we just looked at the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			sallam said that this ummah will
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:30
			separate into 73 sects. Now, what
are these 73 sects have there? Has
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			there been anybody who's actually
listed all of them who's done a
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			study of history and listed all of
them? Absolutely. It's happened
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			many times. In fact, they did this
as earlier on as the fourth and
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			fifth century. In fact, I would
consider the fifth century 400,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			and something to be one of the
years of the greatest development.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			Some say that a lot of the
sectarian stuff came up when,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:00
			during when the conquest of Islam
stopped. When the conquest by the
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:06
			Muslims stopped and people were
lazy, they decided to take on
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			different ideologies, they decided
to bicker between them. And this
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			gave rise to much of this
ideological dissension that we see
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Allah knows best. That is.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			If we look at the various
sectarians, you have Abdullah Al
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			Baghdadi, Shara Stanyan,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			others who've tried to
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:38
			list the 73 sects. Now, from what
we studied, we've seen about 56789
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			sects, but the thing is that if
you look at the martyrs, the
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			lights, they divided into about 10
different sects and
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			very different from each other.
The thing that unites them all,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			were maybe some of the faith
principles, rational approach to
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			things.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			But it got to such a level that
some of them even considered other
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			sects within the martyrs delights
to be Garfield to be out of the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			fold of Islam. That's how serious
it became even between them. If
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			you look at the Shiites, you have
everything from people who
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11
			consider the Oliver the Allahu
Akbar, God, Allah. And when he had
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			some of these people burned, that
reinforced their faith, because
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			they said only Allah can punish it
with fire, and thus you must be
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			Allah. So you had people at that
extreme, and then others who said
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			that he was the rightful Prophet
and then others said he was the
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:33
			rightful first leaf, to the level
of those who have mine to show
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			you, as they call it, which is
that they just prefer it to the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			alarm over with one or the other.
They believe that responder the
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			alarm is the rightful third belief
and added to the honor is the
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:47
			fourth Khalif, but in terms of
personal virtue, it really alone
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			is superior to Earthman whereas
the majority opinion there is that
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			with the man or the Allah one has
greater virtue than it with the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			Alonso individually speaking,
though individual speak in terms
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			of individual virtue, it really
alone may have a virtue like
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			bravery, which was more than a
bucket of the islands virtue of
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			bravery, likewise, with humanity
alone may have a level of higher
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			which may be higher than the level
of aroma or the Allah in that
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			regard. But collectively speaking,
in terms of collective virtue, Abu
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			Bakr is the most superior,
followed by Omar followed by
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			Earthman, followed by Ali Radi
Allahu Anhu. Marine
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28
			Sheikh Khalid Mohammed, Sahara and
booty in his commentary on this
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			hadith in Abu Dawood, he says a
very interesting thing, which
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:36
			really sums up because you're
talking about Abdullah Al Baghdadi
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			from Baghdadi from the fifth
century,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			if no hasn't been is Mohalla from
earlier, who's writing about the
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			73 sects after that, so many sects
have appeared, and so many
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			probably will continue to appear
until the hereafter. So if you
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:56
			were to record every single,
small, large, great set, you've
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			probably come up with hundreds. So
what does this hadith mean?
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			The thing is that whenever
somebody makes a statement, they
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:10
			have a criteria in mind. There's a
certain criteria in mind, when the
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			prophets of Allah Islam said this,
there must have been some criteria
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			in mind. Nobody asked him exactly.
Nobody asked him, How big will the
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:22
			SEC be, or each of these sets how
strong will they be? How powerful
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			How long will they endure for
nobody really asked him. So now
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			it's a matter of HDR to determine
exactly who these 73 sets are,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			that were referred to by the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam clearly,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			there is a overarching message in
this sectarianism is wrong, and
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			the only saved sect will be the
one that is on the path of my
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			sunnah and that of my companions.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			So what Monica Lena when Sahara
and booty says is that the
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:57
			prophets Allah ism had a proper
criteria in mind of a certain kind
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			of sect that would have a certain
kind
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:07
			of influence, a certain number of
amount of following. And only
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			Allah knows exactly what that
refers to. But we can say for
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			sure, based on this hadith that
there will be 73 Such sets of a
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:20
			quantifiable nature as that. But
if you can't every single variant
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:24
			ideology, then clearly they will
live, they will move into
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			hundreds. So I think we'll have to
leave it at that. And we just have
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:32
			to try to stick to that, which is
the Sunnah and the Jamar. That's
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			where this name and Asuna will
Gemma have formed? So it's based
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			on the Hadith. So it's not an
innovation, but that's what it is
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			Arsenal Gemma.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			And today the fight is that who is
the Arsenal drummer that
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			everybody's fighting to be in that
Allison novel? Gemma?
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			Can you consider the * to be
careful?
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			This is a discussion that will
have more in detail when it comes
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			to the issue of the career. But in
general,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			it's very difficult to consider
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:09
			all innovators in ideology. This
is a new concept in the sense that
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			we normally understand innovation
in action in deeds, innovation in
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			practices.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			But there is also an innovation in
Aqeedah. And such innovation until
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			it doesn't lead to kufr is an
innovation is an abhorrent
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			reprehensible innovation.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			That's why you don't see that the
majority of orlimar considered,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			for example, all the Shiites to be
careful, those who are extreme
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			among them that led to Kufri
beliefs, or that held Kufri
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			beliefs, they were clearly labeled
Gaffer, those of the martyrs the
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:50
			lights, the aroma of the Maharana
transaksi Aina, they considered a
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			group of them consider the martyrs
like Scarface that's because the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			delights of that area
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			considered
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			human to be absolutely independent
in his actions,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			which is highly abhorrent opinion,
which means taking Allah subhanaw
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			taala out of the picture there.
Whereas others may have not
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:18
			reached that level of innovation
of of ideological divergence, and
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			thus, they were just innovators.
That's why there's no no blanket
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:26
			fatwa, from the majority of
scholars of any given time that
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			all monitors they like to look
after, despite all of these
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			strange opinions of this, because
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			it's very dangerous to do prefer
to do the fear of somebody. So
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			that's something we'll cover more
in detail in the tech field
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			section. But this is just to put
us put things in perspective, if
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			you're ever asked about a
particular group, unless that
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:51
			group has been known to have a
clear, explicit belief that is
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:56
			absolute disbelief. And the other
might have agreed to that, for
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			example, the Qadiani is that's a
fatwa that's given by everybody,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			that unless it's a group like
that, which is clearly out of the
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			fold of Islam, you would rather
say that if somebody holds this
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:12
			belief, for example, if somebody
holds the belief that swearing at
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			the Sahaba is permissible, then
that's Cofer. So that is the way
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:22
			the element normally responded. If
anybody believes that Allah has
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			human form, then that's Cofer.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:32
			Right, that's Cofer. If anybody
believes that, Allah subhanaw
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			taala does not know the
particulars of things. He only
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			knows the universals of things
that Schofer so you'd rather give
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			an answer
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			on the actual Kufri belief rather
than condemn an entire group
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			unless an entire group has been
absolutely known to hold explicit
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:48
			belief
