hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala is a util.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:08

Marcelino. The he or Sahil? Baraka seldom at the Sleeman kefir on Eli

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

Yomi Dean underbed

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran Shaheed Allahu

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

Allahu La ilaha illa. Who will Mala Iike? To what we'll do let me

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

call him and we'll paste.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:29

Allah subhanaw taala testifies, Allah bears witness that there is

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

no God except

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

Allah bears witness and Allah testifies that there is no God

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

except Allah accept him.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:44

And so do the angels testify to the same thing? What will will l

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

and the people of knowledge, testify to the same thing?

00:00:49 --> 00:00:55

So ALLAH SubhanA, WA Tada, His angels, and the people have

00:00:55 --> 00:00:55

knowledge,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:03

they testify that there is no God, except Allah. This in itself shows

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

the importance or the nobility of the people of knowledge.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

Anybody who pursues knowledge and gains the sacred knowledge, this

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16

shows the nobility that they are being listed along with Allah

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

subhanaw taala himself and the angels

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

then they say that this is approved by the Queen

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

and Prince Charles, you know, you have those, they have those

00:01:28 --> 00:01:33

symbols, those seals or whatever they are. Now, nobody else is

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

sealed on the except the royal family. But if somebody else's

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

seal was also added, and so and so then it means that this person has

00:01:39 --> 00:01:45

risen to a status, which befits being also listed along with these

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

greats.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

So likewise, when Allah subhanaw taala, and the angels are

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

mentioned, and then somebody is also categorized as being in that

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

same category, listed in that same category, then it shows that

00:01:59 --> 00:01:59

they've been

00:02:00 --> 00:02:06

given that extra martaba and that status. That's why Allah subhanaw

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

taala says that the people who truly fear Allah subhanaw taala

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

are the oedema and that the Allameh are the water that will

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16

Ambia

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

inheritors of the prophets

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

that's another great shut off within itself.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:30

Generally, when you speak about somebody inheriting somebody else,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

or inheriting a group or inheriting a family, from a

00:02:33 --> 00:02:37

family, then you understand that they must have some qualities,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42

some of the similar traits. That's why they inheritors, they've been

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

either closely in touch, they have the same genetic genetics,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

whatever the case may be, this seems to be a similarity. So the

00:02:50 --> 00:02:55

verse, the Hadith, of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, and tells us that if

00:02:55 --> 00:02:55

the Prophets

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

the people of knowledge are the word of thought of the prophets,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

then clearly, it tells us the special link of the people of

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

knowledge.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

Another Hadith mentions

00:03:10 --> 00:03:10

that

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

the fish in the ocean, the birds in the air, they make dua for the

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

people of knowledge.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

Why would they do that?

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

Clearly, they must be a great shut off. It's great nobility among the

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

people of knowledge that that Mark Luke in the M, Luke in the oceans,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

are making dua for them, by inspiration from Allah subhanaw

00:03:35 --> 00:03:35

taala.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:42

So these are just a few factors, which indicate the bedrock of

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

knowledge, the shut off of the people of knowledge. And

00:03:46 --> 00:03:51

essentially, it's an encouragement for us to acquire more knowledge,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

according to

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00

che, fine felt fat. And mostly, he says that if you have a person

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

who's ill who's sick,

00:04:03 --> 00:04:07

and you don't give him water and drink for three days, he's already

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

sick. One is that a person is healthy, and they

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

are deprived of food and drink for three days. You can still expect

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

them to pull through because they have enough energy generally, to

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

last that long. But somebody who was already sick was already in

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

need. And you deprive that particular person from for three

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

days of food and drink, then you'd expect that that person is going

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

to die. They already need of energy and strength, food,

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

nourishment, they're not getting it. The same is the state of our

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

heart. We're already sick.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

The same as the state of our heart. We already have sickness in

00:04:46 --> 00:04:53

our heart. And then if the heart stays away from knowledge, and the

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

benefits of knowledge,

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

then the heart is also going to become deprived of the body

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

occur and the blessing of this knowledge.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

Generally we speak about the vicar in this case. But here the sheikh

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

Sheikh Fattah Al mo silly from Mosul, he is saying that even

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

being deprived of some new inputs of knowledge,

00:05:17 --> 00:05:22

sacred knowledge, anything that takes us to Allah subhanaw taala

00:05:22 --> 00:05:27

or will open up a path to Allah. This includes, for example, in the

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

beginning to learn Arabic grammar.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

Because Arabic grammar is a knowledge that conveys a person to

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

the knowledge of the Quran, sunnah as long as a person is studying it

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

for that sake.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

Because nowadays, a lot of people study Arabic because it's the

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

politically savvy thing to do,

00:05:47 --> 00:05:52

or to work in Muslim countries. So if a person is even studying

00:05:52 --> 00:05:57

grammar, as the basic startup of studying knowledge, they also get

00:05:57 --> 00:06:03

the felida of doing that, which tells us that regularly, there

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

needs to be an input of knowledge in our lives regularly.

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

The knowledge could be the knowledge of further a reminder,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

an exhortation,

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

or something even more firm like studying fic and Hadith and point

00:06:16 --> 00:06:21

of Tafseer, reading a deficit of the Quran reading a book of fic.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

Of course,

00:06:24 --> 00:06:29

a more organized focus to study in which you get something at the end

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

of it, which develops you. It's not just a drip here and there.

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

You know, one is that a person is righteous and pious, and they go

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

through and they listen to different bits. But because it's

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

all disjointed, they hear a nice point here about Tafseer a nice

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

point there about fit a masala, something unusual that people

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

don't really know about, they learn to because they sit with

00:06:50 --> 00:06:54

their Allama. But their knowledge is going to be disjointed. They're

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

going to know a bit here, and that is the case of the majority of

00:06:57 --> 00:07:02

concerned people that we have, who are not aroma. They know a lot of

00:07:02 --> 00:07:06

bits and have this, that and the other, but there's no connection

00:07:06 --> 00:07:10

between them. So if they asked to fill in the gap, they won't be

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

able to do so or they won't have the confidence to do so. Of

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

course, if they not able to do so and then they think they've got

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

the confidence to do so then that's a bigger problem. Because

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

then they will be giving footwear from their pocket pockets.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

So the idea is the encouragement here

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

is that a person?

00:07:30 --> 00:07:36

Most of us are unable to undertake a full time study. But nowadays,

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39

mashallah, there's many, many, many courses that have sprung up

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

around the city,

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

where they are teaching, they're especially catering for people who

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

are working in the daytime. So the class is exclusively in the

00:07:50 --> 00:07:50

evening.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

Of course, it takes a lot of dedication, 678 years, maybe

00:07:54 --> 00:07:58

sometimes, of every day, four days a week, sometimes five days a

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

week, three, four hours of solid work.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

A relative of mine, a brother in law of mine, he,

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

he for several years from I think it was six o'clock or something

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

like that to

00:08:15 --> 00:08:19

about 10 o'clock, and then which eventually went to 1112 o'clock at

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

night, he would work in the morning, full time job. And then

00:08:22 --> 00:08:27

after that as the years progressed, when he went into the

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

advanced years, they used to finish around half 1112 o'clock.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

So that's quite a bit of an undertaking. However, those who

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

can't do a full study like that, there's many many people who've

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

done studies like that. I know numerous people, numerous people

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

like that, who started studying like their full time jobs, they

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

were full time but still people like them.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

And they've they've done the study.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

So at least what that does is that it makes you self reliant on

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

understanding what's halal and haram gives you a perspective of

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

life.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:05

If somebody can't do that, then

00:09:07 --> 00:09:11

they should definitely undertake some other focused courses. A

00:09:11 --> 00:09:15

focus course is always better than just taking a bit here and there

00:09:15 --> 00:09:20

because it's more packaged together as one whole. So, you get

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23

a better understanding of at least one particular subject if not all

00:09:23 --> 00:09:24

the subjects

00:09:25 --> 00:09:29

rather than just disjointed ly learning some good point here and

00:09:29 --> 00:09:29

a good point there.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

So, this is something to think about. This is something to think

00:09:34 --> 00:09:38

about. Allah does place time and Baraka in,

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

in the lives of people, when they want to do something, it requires

00:09:43 --> 00:09:48

him that look at the market. Look at the virtues that are being

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

mentioned about such a people.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

Try to

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

gather the assets which when your sheep when your ship

00:10:00 --> 00:10:00

thinks

00:10:01 --> 00:10:05

that acid will also float with you, and will swim with you and

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

will help you and assist you.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

Generally, people think in this world generally, to do with

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

some bad business deal,

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

the money goes.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

When it comes to knowledge, nobody can take that knowledge from you.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

Nobody can take knowledge from you.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

That's why even our bas are the Allahu Anhu used to mention that

00:10:36 --> 00:10:42

spending a small moment at night, small amount of time at night, in

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

the study of knowledge, in seeking knowledge,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

according to him was superior to

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

staying awake the whole night in other forms of worship.

00:10:57 --> 00:11:02

This can be a point of delusion sometimes as well. person who's

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

really into their academics

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

then they think that they don't have to do worship, they'll just

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

be studying all night. He's saying a small portion of the night of

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

study is superior to a whole night of worship doesn't mean that

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

they're mutually exclusive. You just saying that people generally

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

know the formula of standing up at night in prayer, everybody

00:11:25 --> 00:11:29

recognizes that. They don't think you'll get the same from studying

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

knowledge. So he's trying to say that this has the potential

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

because with the knowledge will come action. So if it's only

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, there's no this I know that I know

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

all of these books of Hadith and Tafseer and everything, and it's

00:11:40 --> 00:11:43

not leading to me for tahajjud then this is not secret knowledge

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

anyway. It's not having the desired effect.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

So that shouldn't be missed and misunderstood.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

Hasson bossy Rahim Allah he says that, according to me, the Tafseer

00:11:55 --> 00:11:59

of the famous da that everybody knows Robina Tina dunya, Hassan,

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

or Philadelphia roti, Hazara working as a banana.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

The meaning of this for me, is duniya hacer una Oh my Lord give

00:12:08 --> 00:12:14

me Hassan, the good in this dunya this refers to

00:12:16 --> 00:12:22

sacred knowledge and remembrance of Allah, sacred knowledge and

00:12:22 --> 00:12:23

remembrance of Allah.

00:12:24 --> 00:12:27

So if we do this dua with that intention, and it's a very famous

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

dog, the prophets Allah, Allah has used it in the most opportune

00:12:29 --> 00:12:35

moments. That's the only dua that is, well, that's probably the only

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

dua that's been related about tawaf, that the prophets Allah

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

loves them used to make this dua in tawaf, what a special dua he

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

must be that he made it between the retinal Yamani and the

00:12:43 --> 00:12:44

hospital as well.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

I mean, he must be a very special Doer for him to have made it in

00:12:48 --> 00:12:52

that very special point, just at the finish of a tawaf, he's

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55

reading that da O Allah gives me the best of this world, give me

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

the good in this world give me the good in the hereafter. So the good

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

in this world according to Hasson osteoporosis and left it open,

00:13:00 --> 00:13:05

because it could include a lot of things has an atom in Arabic, the

00:13:05 --> 00:13:12

word has an atom is an Akira means it's not a it's not a proper noun.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

And it's not a

00:13:15 --> 00:13:21

it's not fixed as the good it's good. Now what good generally in

00:13:21 --> 00:13:26

Arabic, when you leave something general like that, without saying

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

a saying, house without saying the house and you save the house,

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

obviously you're fixing the house, there's something either in your

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

mind or in the mind of the person who's listening to you, that

00:13:36 --> 00:13:41

you're referring to. When you say a house house, in general, it

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44

could mean many many, many houses. So likewise here when you say

00:13:44 --> 00:13:50

hassen, general, what is the good? So how do you determine what good

00:13:50 --> 00:13:54

that is? Because for most I will just leave it to Allah so whatever

00:13:54 --> 00:13:57

you think is good for us hasn't been free from his reading and

00:13:57 --> 00:14:01

understanding he understands this to be the two most important

00:14:01 --> 00:14:05

things which is one is the sacred knowledge which is supposed to

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

take us to the second thing which is yard Ilahi. This is remembering

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

Allah subhanaw taala

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

see if most of us are trying to just engage in vicar.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:22

without studying as well without doing some kind of study. It's a

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

bit more difficult. What happens with the study is that it gives us

00:14:26 --> 00:14:31

the node in our heart we know we adapt much more connected to our

00:14:31 --> 00:14:35

tradition, we that much more knowledgeable, we have that much

00:14:35 --> 00:14:39

more insight that helps us then to in our thicker as well that we

00:14:39 --> 00:14:44

know we've got more reason to do thicker for we understand the

00:14:44 --> 00:14:47

richness of why we're doing liquor, the heritage that we have

00:14:48 --> 00:14:53

the legacy that we have. So according to him, the dunya hasna

00:14:53 --> 00:14:59

for dunya means that and hacer una for the Akira means Jana and

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

Paradise

00:15:01 --> 00:15:02

Remember the Allahu Anhu used to say,

00:15:04 --> 00:15:10

study knowledge, study, gain knowledge, because Allah subhanho

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

wa Taala has a covering of love,

00:15:17 --> 00:15:23

a covering, he has of love, which he gives to those who study

00:15:23 --> 00:15:27

knowledge. And as long as the person continues to study

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

knowledge, in whatever amount, he keeps that love

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

filled sheet over the person

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

until the person dies like that covered with the

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

sheath of love

00:15:45 --> 00:15:45

and

00:15:47 --> 00:15:51

generally speaking, they say that if Allah subhanaw taala generally

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

generally speaking, gives somebody sacred knowledge,

00:15:56 --> 00:16:00

I guess related by Mohammed, a che Bernie that when he was asked,

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

after he passed away, he was seen in a dream and he was asked what

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

happened.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:11

So he said that I was told by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada that if we

00:16:11 --> 00:16:15

hadn't expect, we hadn't intended good for you, we would not have

00:16:15 --> 00:16:16

given you all the knowledge that we gave you.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:22

We would not have given you all the knowledge if we hadn't wanted

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

to give you something special.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

Why would Allah subhanaw taala open up his knowledge to somebody

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

and then deprive them.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

It's a possibility. Somebody misuses the knowledge. And that's

00:16:34 --> 00:16:35

not been true knowledge from the beginning.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

But if somebody has the right intention to study,

00:16:40 --> 00:16:45

they take a weekend course. They take a course in the holidays. You

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

know, it's about going and doing something and getting something

00:16:48 --> 00:16:54

more focused than the arbitrary disjointed points here and the

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

Zubaydah of not be Bacara Rahim Allah mentions.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

My father wrote me a letter in Iraq.

00:17:07 --> 00:17:12

He said, study knowledge, and work hard in studying your knowledge.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:17

Because even if you become poor, in terms of monetarily, you become

00:17:17 --> 00:17:17

poor.

00:17:18 --> 00:17:22

Your knowledge will become your wealth. It's something that you

00:17:22 --> 00:17:26

can fall back upon, something you will be respected for, something

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

that you can use to at least benefit from.

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

And if you're wealthy, so if you're poor, your knowledge will

00:17:33 --> 00:17:34

help you.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

It will give you the understanding of what to do in in your poverty,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:42

what kind of thought you must have with Allah subhanaw taala we're

00:17:42 --> 00:17:45

not only talking about getting a job with your knowledge of

00:17:45 --> 00:17:49

teaching somewhere or something, it's not just about that. It's

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

more about the fact that it will give you an understanding of how

00:17:51 --> 00:17:57

to deal with and manage your, your your depression, your loss, your

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

grievance, what to do with your life, how to ask Allah subhanaw

00:18:01 --> 00:18:06

taala. And he said to him also that if you are wealthy, then LM

00:18:06 --> 00:18:11

will be your adornments. Because if a person gets wealthy, and they

00:18:11 --> 00:18:15

don't have knowledge, they don't have the deen and knowledge, then

00:18:15 --> 00:18:19

they are misled by the shaytaan to use their knowledge, their wealth

00:18:19 --> 00:18:23

in the wrong ways, whether that means outright haram or if they

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

are a bit God fearing in a sense, then in bid art, or assisting

00:18:27 --> 00:18:33

innovators, they will be misled to they will be misled, they will be

00:18:33 --> 00:18:38

deceived by people to give them their wealth and to be used for

00:18:38 --> 00:18:42

the wrong kind of movements, the wrong kind of activism, the wrong

00:18:42 --> 00:18:47

kind of in a innovated practices. So either they'll use it in Haram,

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

or they'll use it in innovation, or there'll be backfill and they

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

won't use it at all.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

But if you have knowledge, then you know how to spend. Because

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

generally the two people that Allah subhanaw what the Prophet

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

salallahu Alaihe Salam said, it's halal for them to compete with

00:19:01 --> 00:19:05

each other, for the right reason, are people with well, who spend it

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

in the path of Allah subhanahu wa taala and the people of knowledge,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:13

who, who use it, again to benefit people. So here we're speaking

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

about two different types of people.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

Because generally speaking, the wealthy person is not always going

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

to be the wealthy Earth is not going to be the person with the

00:19:21 --> 00:19:26

most knowledge. Because this has to spend a lot of effort in making

00:19:26 --> 00:19:29

the business. So generally, they don't have time for knowledge. And

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

the people who are really into knowledge don't have the time for

00:19:31 --> 00:19:35

business, generally speaking. However, there are many cases in

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

history where these two did come together. Like for example, in Abu

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

Hanifa and numerous scholars have today as well they like this,

00:19:43 --> 00:19:46

where they've got mashallah their own income, good income, and

00:19:46 --> 00:19:51

they're able to then spend their wealth along with their knowledge

00:19:52 --> 00:19:59

and do that. So that's a very rare combination, but a very valuable

00:20:00 --> 00:20:01

combination when it does come about

00:20:03 --> 00:20:08

right sometimes wealthy fathers want to make the the there's a lot

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

of people like this wealthy people who want to make their children or

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

their MA.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

So they try.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:19

The the point then is to give the right data via so that the person

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

isn't, doesn't grow up

00:20:22 --> 00:20:28

thinking in this privileged Silver Spoon gold spoon way. And although

00:20:28 --> 00:20:31

they study knowledge, they focus becomes the business.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:35

Unfortunately, that has happened with some great scholars with the

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

father left everything for them scholars were talking about, they

00:20:37 --> 00:20:42

left everything for them. But the offspring, all their focus became

00:20:42 --> 00:20:46

was because of the influence and the power of that position. That

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

rather than focus on the knowledge aspect, they went more into

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

gaining money

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

you know, and through the connections that their fathers had

00:20:55 --> 00:20:59

left for them. So it's not always the case that

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

a good father

00:21:02 --> 00:21:06

is always going to have the best of inheritors. It's really a

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

matter of Tofik

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

mashallah, otherwise you've got some families who the father laid

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

down the foundation, and the children have continued in many

00:21:14 --> 00:21:15

cases even surpass the Father.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

mean some of the examples that we have today is Mufti Shafi, Saab

00:21:19 --> 00:21:21

and his two children of the Rafi and Mufti Taqi.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

You know, these are just some of the examples. And you have other

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

examples as well.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:32

So there's the world is never a predictable thing. That's why a

00:21:32 --> 00:21:35

person has to be constantly praying to Allah subhanaw taala

00:21:35 --> 00:21:38

with the efforts that we make and anything that we do and translates

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

in anything, when the efforts that we make do we also have to focus

00:21:41 --> 00:21:46

on Allah subhanaw taala that he makes things fall right in the way

00:21:47 --> 00:21:47

we want them to be.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:57

So there has to be a multi pronged focus and to add to Allah subhanaw

00:21:57 --> 00:21:57

taala

00:22:00 --> 00:22:01

Lokmanya history.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:09

One of the advices he gave to his children was Go and sit with the

00:22:09 --> 00:22:16

Erdem, who is active on his knowledge. I'm with Amel, the

00:22:16 --> 00:22:20

active item, the one who is clearly putting into action, his

00:22:20 --> 00:22:21

knowledge.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:25

Go and sit with such a person.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:32

Go and learn from that person. Learn etiquette from such a

00:22:32 --> 00:22:32

person.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:39

Anybody who has a sick heart, who goes and sit with Ireland, who has

00:22:39 --> 00:22:39

Amel as well.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:48

It is as beneficial as a dead land, which is going to suddenly

00:22:48 --> 00:22:50

benefit from a huge downpouring.

00:22:52 --> 00:22:57

That's the kind of benefits the same the dry land needs that kind

00:22:57 --> 00:23:02

of rain, good rain than a person who goes to an island with the

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

animal. The benefits in the same kind of way, it fills the hearts

00:23:06 --> 00:23:12

emotions, it makes it fertilized. So although an item like that may

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

eventually leave this world and die, he will leave behind him a

00:23:15 --> 00:23:19

legacy. And the legacy is not going to be necessarily

00:23:19 --> 00:23:23

discernible. But no doubt it's a legacy and Allah subhanaw taala

00:23:23 --> 00:23:25

knows its connections.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:31

There's one software that we use that I use for typesetting. It's

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

called InDesign Adobe InDesign.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:39

So what it does is that it's got a special feature in there says show

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

text threads.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:45

Sometimes on a single page, you've got two or three different types

00:23:45 --> 00:23:50

of text boxes, all your text has to be in text boxes. It's not like

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

Microsoft Word, it's a bit more

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

bit more sophisticated than that because you have full control of

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

the text. So he's got different text boxes.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

Especially like if you've got a magazine or something. Now what

00:24:04 --> 00:24:08

happens if you make some extra changes here that lengthens the

00:24:08 --> 00:24:13

text here, this text box on has to be connected to the relevant

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

textbooks on next page so that if some text is pushed down, it will

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

automatically adjust there and you don't have to manually adjust it.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:25

Now it doesn't. In the normal view, it doesn't tell you that. It

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

doesn't show you the connections between the text boxes. So you

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

don't know which textbox is connected to which box. But what

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

you can do is you can actually go into the functions and say display

00:24:35 --> 00:24:39

text threads. When then it shows you is that it shows you these

00:24:39 --> 00:24:44

lines of the boxes connected to which box so then you know exactly

00:24:44 --> 00:24:49

the trail. This text starts here. This is continuation so you don't

00:24:49 --> 00:24:54

have to read it to figure it out. You can actually see it visually.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:59

So likewise, when a person of knowledge and Amel days

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

They've gone from this world, when is that they may have established

00:25:04 --> 00:25:07

an institution that carries their name or that people know that they

00:25:07 --> 00:25:12

established as the founder. But then there's a lot that goes

00:25:12 --> 00:25:15

beyond that. That's just the physical institution. But there's

00:25:15 --> 00:25:19

a lot that goes beyond that. Imagine the 1000s, the 10s of

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

1000s, the hundreds of 1000s of people that they have benefited.

00:25:25 --> 00:25:26

You know, so for example,

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

you taught one course,

00:25:31 --> 00:25:32

gave one lecture

00:25:33 --> 00:25:37

on a point of Ramadan, for example, that in Ramadan, this

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

Ramadan, let's do this, that and the other.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:45

And it resonated with 100 people. And imagine, you gave this talk in

00:25:45 --> 00:25:46

10 different places.

00:25:48 --> 00:25:52

And it resonated with 20 people in each of these places, you've got

00:25:52 --> 00:25:57

200 people there, out of these 200 people, there's a number of people

00:25:57 --> 00:26:01

of those 200 people, if they if they were impressed, they were

00:26:01 --> 00:26:06

influenced by this, they may tweet out Facebook, tell people email

00:26:06 --> 00:26:10

people. So now you don't know where that's gone to now. We can't

00:26:10 --> 00:26:14

see the text threads, we can't see the connections. We've done our

00:26:14 --> 00:26:19

lecture we've passed a good point through whether it's been a formal

00:26:19 --> 00:26:22

lecture by a scholar like you know on a formal level or it's just an

00:26:24 --> 00:26:27

advice we gave to somebody a good word we gave to somebody sitting

00:26:27 --> 00:26:30

in the bus maybe on the underground or wherever at work on

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

whatever the case is. And then suddenly, we don't see the text

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

threads anymore, but Allah can see them Allah knows them.

00:26:37 --> 00:26:40

Unfortunately, we can't ask like you know, where's the text and put

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

on that button right you can't see it on the Day of Judgment all of

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

this will be revealed. Okay, this is how it went. And then this will

00:26:46 --> 00:26:50

actually continue forever. How many people every Ramadan they

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

will if they establish and you told them to do tahajjud every

00:26:53 --> 00:26:58

night in Ramadan at least. So now they did it this Ramadan. Now next

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

Ramadan they remember you must do to *, they may have forgotten

00:27:00 --> 00:27:05

where they got it from. Now they may be thinking for them Oh, last

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

Ramadan, I did touch it every night.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

This Ramadan, they'll remember where it came from the next

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

Ramadan, they'll forget where it came from. Now they will make it

00:27:13 --> 00:27:16

their own action. I'm doing the Hajj every night because I did it

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

last year, okay, I'm going to do the Hajj this year as well. Again,

00:27:19 --> 00:27:22

they've even forgotten the thread. But Allah subhanaw taala will

00:27:22 --> 00:27:26

never forget that thread. And that's in our, in our action, this

00:27:26 --> 00:27:27

is an investment that will never be ended,

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

escapes, it proliferates.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:39

So that's the virtue of a person of knowledge, he gets that

00:27:39 --> 00:27:40

platform to do that.

00:27:42 --> 00:27:45

Having little bits and bobs here and there doesn't give you the

00:27:45 --> 00:27:48

same thing, though you can still convey whatever you know.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:54

But it's this magnification that is important. This projection

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

that's important.

00:27:56 --> 00:28:00

So you will never know where it gets to gets you to. So leave your

00:28:00 --> 00:28:01

signature behind.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:06

And you say that you know, every document etc, it carries a digital

00:28:06 --> 00:28:10

signature. So you can't see it, but if you look into the code, you

00:28:10 --> 00:28:13

can see who had made it and so on and so forth. Like this, all of

00:28:13 --> 00:28:18

this they Allah subhanaw taala can tell where, you know, whenever

00:28:18 --> 00:28:21

somebody is now practicing, where the signature is coming on Sunday

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

has many many signatures because clearly when the alum who has

00:28:24 --> 00:28:28

given that talk on Ramadan has got it from somewhere else, got it

00:28:28 --> 00:28:31

from somebody else's book, somebody else's lecture, somebody

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

else's teaching. So the his signature is involved in there as

00:28:34 --> 00:28:35

well.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

Now, there's going to be many signatures behind if you look at

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

the signature of Rasulullah sallallahu some results are going

00:28:41 --> 00:28:45

to be there. If your signature is with the signature of Rasulullah

00:28:45 --> 00:28:46

sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

Then what can you expect on the day of judgment?

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

So may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant as well as last May Allah

00:28:57 --> 00:29:03

subhanho wa Taala grant us all Tofik because this is one

00:29:03 --> 00:29:07

successful way of negotiating the waters of this world, the life of

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

this world.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:17

I'm just going to read briefly the the wisdom for today which I'm not

00:29:17 --> 00:29:21

going to look at in detail. But basically if not I thought Allah

00:29:21 --> 00:29:21

says

00:29:23 --> 00:29:26

it had Allah to call Amma the other would you didn't follow him

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

in Runa enough See,

00:29:29 --> 00:29:33

your postpone your postponement of deeds till the time when you are

00:29:33 --> 00:29:37

free is one of the frivolous keys of the ego

00:29:40 --> 00:29:45

postponing deeds knowing the importance of deeds but postponing

00:29:45 --> 00:29:49

them. When am I going to start my Dodge? When am I going to do my

00:29:49 --> 00:29:53

thicker my daily thicker I'm supposed to do? I keep postponing

00:29:54 --> 00:29:58

postponing it till when you think you're going to be free is one of

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

the frivolous use of the ego

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

You're never going to be free if you think that way.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:09

There's very few people who genuinely and that is genuinely

00:30:09 --> 00:30:13

for it's a short period, that we have a very busy period of 20

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16

things come on us and we have to just do it and there is no time.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:22

But other than that it's generally self induced busyness where it's

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

all about priorities.

00:30:25 --> 00:30:29

Because I don't give this priority that takes priority, and that

00:30:29 --> 00:30:33

makes me busy. So genuinely generous. Generally speaking, in

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

the most part, I know that notice from experience when I tell people

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

I'm too busy. I know it's self induced busyness.

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

It's not things that have been dumped on me and lump told me that

00:30:43 --> 00:30:46

I just cannot get away from them. It's things that I want to do, and

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

I'm giving them a priority. That's why it's made me busy.

00:30:51 --> 00:30:55

This statement is similar. He says when man becomes involved involved

00:30:55 --> 00:30:58

in worldly affairs, there is no end to its ramifications. When

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

there is no end to man's worldly indulgences, it is simply the

00:31:01 --> 00:31:05

indulgence and stupidity of his ego, to postpone righteous deeds,

00:31:06 --> 00:31:10

moral reformation, spiritual uplifting for the future, under

00:31:10 --> 00:31:14

the notion of obtaining a time devote devoid of worldly affairs,

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

when is that going to happen?

00:31:17 --> 00:31:21

Man in this sense, destroys his present time, and in his stupidity

00:31:21 --> 00:31:25

waits to acquire a time of which he is uncertain.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:29

If you can't manage your time now, how you're going to manage it

00:31:29 --> 00:31:34

later on when you're only going to get more busier. Life just brings

00:31:34 --> 00:31:39

more complications, more children, business expense,

00:31:40 --> 00:31:43

suddenly you start becoming weaker. You don't have as much

00:31:43 --> 00:31:47

energy left, you start becoming sick as well. It doesn't get any

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

easier. Because we don't get younger.

00:31:50 --> 00:31:54

Life can come to an end without a servant ever obtaining a period of

00:31:54 --> 00:31:57

free time for death often makes a sudden appearance.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

An intelligent man therefore is the one who values the time he has

00:32:02 --> 00:32:06

obtained in the very moment that it exists. Oh, I've captured this

00:32:06 --> 00:32:11

time. I've used this hour of my day usefully. That is something to

00:32:11 --> 00:32:16

be satisfied about. He does not postpone the work of the real

00:32:16 --> 00:32:20

religion for a later time, nor does he wait in anticipation of

00:32:20 --> 00:32:24

free time, the attainment of which is improbable. If however, the

00:32:24 --> 00:32:27

worldly affairs that occupy one are permissible activities, one

00:32:27 --> 00:32:30

should continue there with an involve oneself simultaneous in

00:32:30 --> 00:32:34

invocation righteous actions. If these affairs are unlawful, of

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

course, one must abandon them.

00:32:38 --> 00:32:42

May Allah give us the trophy? allow men to sit over and go to

00:32:42 --> 00:32:46

work the heterogeneity with a gram Melania here are you going to

00:32:46 --> 00:32:49

study a lot of me or her nanny learners of Harlequin?

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
