Has it ever crossed your mind that our

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

deeds are sometimes abstract ideas?

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

Our deeds are not always like in the

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

form of a book, or in the form

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

of a physical thing.

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

When we say, subhanAllah, how is that captured?

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

Where does that go?

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

When we say, الحمد لله الله أكبر, how

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

is that captured?

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

How is that gonna go in a scale?

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

How do you put subhanAllah in a scale?

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

Unless you write it down and put it

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

in there.

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

You understand what I'm saying?

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

So, some people, they actually denied the scale.

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

The Mu'tazil was a group.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

They were rationalist, they said, you know, we

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

don't believe in the scale because how can

00:00:31 --> 00:00:36

you measure abstract phenomena that are not tangible,

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

that are not physical?

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

And I think they were writing at a

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

time when there were no barometers and thermometers

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

and things like that.

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

Now you can measure all sorts of stuff,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:46

can't you?

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

You can measure the waves in this room.

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

We can't see them.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

You can measure the heat which we can

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

only feel, but the thermometer measures that.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

Right?

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

You have the ultrasound that through sound can

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

tell you what a fetus looks like.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

Just using sound, it can form a picture.

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

It's amazing.

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

So, just upgrades in technology have brought a

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

reality to this that subhanAllah, that scale is

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

gonna be a very smart scale.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

In modern understanding, that's gonna be a smart

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

scale.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

It'll be able to figure out exactly.

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

-Ba Dear

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

brothers and dear sisters and dear graduating class,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:17

dear teachers, parents and everybody else, I'm not

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

sure if you really understand the significance of

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25

this occasion, especially for South London, it's really

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

really significant.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

Imam Bukhari, you've been hearing his name, this

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

is the Khatam of Bukhari or the completion

00:02:32 --> 00:02:36

of Sahih Bukhari, that's what you've been speaking

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

about, many of you may be just here

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

because your daughters or your family member, one

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

of the girls is graduating, so you're just

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

here for that occasion, just to give support,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

you have no idea maybe what you're here

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

for, some of you will know the significance

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

of this.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

So what the significance is this, some years

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

ago, about five years ago I think, we

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

got an opportunity to go to Bukhara and

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

Samarkand in Uzbekistan, present day Uzbekistan, where Imam

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

Bukhari was from.

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

We were in the masjid where Imam Bukhari

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

taught and there's a madrasa next to it

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

and then there's a masjid kalaa, they call

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

it, the big masjid, the grand mosque of

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

Bukhara, it's there.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

And interestingly, we were with a number of

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

scholars, Mufti Taqi Usmani, we were very honored

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

to be with him and Mufti Shabbir Sahib

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

and there were others with us as well.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

So the local scholars who you could say

00:03:27 --> 00:03:32

are descendants of Imam Bukhari, descendants of this

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

little town called Bukhara, which I don't think

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

anybody would have known around the world had

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

it not been for Imam Bukhari.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

The whole world knows that town's name, but

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

they don't know much about the town, they

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

know the scholar who came from there, who

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

put that town on the map.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

I mean it's a very good city, it's

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

a very good town, but I don't think

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

anybody here would have known.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

Have you guys heard of Khiva?

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

Right?

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

That's also another town.

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

Khawarizm?

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

Right?

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

You haven't heard of that.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:08

That's also Farhana, Namangan, you haven't heard any

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

of that.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

You've heard of Bukhari and what came from

00:04:13 --> 00:04:13

there.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

It's amazing how they illuminate the whole world,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

that town for the whole world.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

Interestingly though, what we have to understand is

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

that Imam Bukhari was not produced in a

00:04:23 --> 00:04:23

vacuum.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

There were thousands of scholars that were studying

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

with him and had studied before him and

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

studied later under him.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

He wasn't just one scholar that went from

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

there somewhere else in the world to study.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

Much of his study was at home and

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

then he did travel around into multiple other

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

cities to study.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

That means there was an amazing environment of

00:04:49 --> 00:04:55

teaching, learning, hadith down there because he was

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

not the only hadith scholar.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:57

Can you believe it?

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

Out of the six most famous ones, the

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

six most famous hadith scholars, the majority of

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

them are from that area.

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

Persian and Turkic speaking areas, not even from

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

Arab speaking areas.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

So you've got Imam Bukhari, he's from present

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

-day Uzbekistan, that's Bukhara in Uzbekistan.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

Imam Tirmidhi from the same country, though it's

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

many miles away, closer to the, it's actually

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

right on the border of Afghanistan.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

That's where Tirmidhi is.

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

And then you've got Imam Abu Dawood al

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

-Sijistani, which is in the Afghani-Persian border.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

You've got Imam Nasa'i who's in Turkmenistan,

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

that city is located in Turkmenistan today.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

And you've got Ibn Majah whose city Qazwin

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

is located in Iran today.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

And there you go, that's the six, they're

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

all Persian or Turkic.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

It's very, very interesting.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:59

A huge environment of learning and teaching, studies,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

hadith transmission was going on there.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

However, right now in Bukhara, they were asking

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08

us for a chain back to Imam Bukhari,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:09

their forefather.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

There was nobody locally there who had a

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

chain, an existing chain, and why was that?

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

Now that was a place where a lot

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

was going on.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

You'd never imagine that there'd be one day

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

where there'd be no madrasas, there'd be no

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

teaching anymore, even of the basics.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

Some of the older people there, one was

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

the mufti or the qadi of Samarkand, he

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

told, he was one of those who had

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

to go into a basement and literally hide

00:06:41 --> 00:06:45

himself away for multiple weeks or months so

00:06:45 --> 00:06:45

he could learn.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

Because under the communists for about 70 to

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

80 years, everything had become banned, including praying

00:06:52 --> 00:06:52

salat.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

Children would be asked at school, does your

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

father or mother do these weird movements?

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

You know, do they pray essentially?

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

Do they wake up in the middle of

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

the night?

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

Things like that.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

That's how bad it'd become.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

And that was a place where there was

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

so much teaching going on, so much transmission

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

going on, until time comes when there's nobody

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

who can continue the chain, so they have

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

to take it from outside.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

Qadi goes outside and comes back in like

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

that.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

Another program we did of a completion of

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

Bukhari, at the end of the lecture, one

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

of the parents of one of the girls

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

who had graduated, he's like, I'm discovering today

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

after six years what my daughter's been doing

00:07:35 --> 00:07:35

for six years.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

He didn't know what his daughter was doing,

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

what significance it held.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

So she's just doing a bit of study

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

in the evening, right?

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

This is extremely significant.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

I want you to think about this.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

What's this borough called?

00:07:52 --> 00:07:53

Croydon is the borough, mashallah.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

If you come to East London, what's the

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

difference between boroughs like, and this is not

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

to show any kind of superiority, it's just

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

to show where we need to go.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:10

What's the difference between Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Ilford,

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

Redbridge, and then Newham, as compared to, for

00:08:15 --> 00:08:21

example, Wembley, Croydon, and other places?

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

Each one of those four boroughs that I

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

mentioned, there must be over a thousand huffaz

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

in all of them, each, right?

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

And in terms of madrasas like this, there

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

are at least 15 within five miles.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

Why is that the case?

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

Why do other places not have the same,

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

even though Muslims have been there the same

00:08:43 --> 00:08:43

amount of time?

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

It's the parents' dedication, God bless them.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

So the earliest parents, like my father, for

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

example, he wanted me to be something else.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

He wanted me to be an architect or

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

something.

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

But then he realized that things are going

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

not very good in England, you know, in

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

terms of kids are losing themselves and so

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

on.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

He used to be a manager in Ambala

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

Sweet Centre in the headquarters in Houston.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

So he's seen the whole cross-section of

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

the community.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

That was the only mitai shop, right, in

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

like 40 years ago.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

It was the only mitai shop, I think.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

You know, you've heard of Ambala Sweet Centre,

00:09:21 --> 00:09:21

I'm sure you have.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:26

And he's seeing all of these people, customers,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

and he's talking to them, he's realizing that

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

you know, people are losing their faith here.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

So he decided, you know what, you need

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

to go to madrasa.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

So I was about 11 and a half

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

when he sent me to madrasa.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

I don't regret any moment of it.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

I was homesick for the first few months.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

I was crying and everything, never wanted to

00:09:42 --> 00:09:42

come back.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

Don't regret a moment of it.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

But it was a major sacrifice, right, for

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

all of these.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

And mashallah, you have some from South London

00:09:50 --> 00:09:50

as well.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

It's not like you don't, right?

00:09:52 --> 00:09:58

And these are the same people of my

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

generation who came back.

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

They went to different places to study.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

They came back and they started teaching.

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

So much so that many of the masajid

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

now have full-fledged alim courses, alimiyya courses,

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

alima courses.

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

So what you have in these areas is

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

that you are catering for not just the

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

children.

00:10:20 --> 00:10:21

Mashallah, maqtabs are now in quite a few

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

places.

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

There's still some places where there's not much

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

maqtab going on.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

Maqtab means for the children.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

So alhamdulillah that's happening.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

However, what's happening beyond that in many of

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

these boroughs, these areas of just London alone,

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

right, even we're not talking about Blackman and

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

Bolton and Batley and Dewsbury and you know,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

we have a million Muslims, over a million

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

Muslims in London right now, right?

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

These boroughs, there is, mashallah, adult courses.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

All the way from basic tajweed, all the

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

way up to Sahih al-Bukhari for male

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

and female.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

And mashallah, this is happening in Croydon for

00:10:56 --> 00:10:57

a number of years.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

It's a beacon of light and that's absolutely

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

amazing.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

It shows that we are a mature community.

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

If you can have a hifz khatam, that's

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

the beginning.

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

And if you can have a Bukhari khatam,

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

I think that means there's a lot of

00:11:13 --> 00:11:13

progress.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

But what is very important to understand now

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

is that you don't take it for granted.

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

Because just like Bukhara itself, where in the

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

whole country of Uzbekistan, there's only three madrasas

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

now.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

And that's only the last five, six years.

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

After all that repressive regime has gone, there's

00:11:32 --> 00:11:33

only three madrasas.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

The last time I checked, I don't know

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

if anything more has happened since then.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

Only three madrasas and nothing to this level.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

They have to go to other countries to

00:11:42 --> 00:11:42

study.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

Alhamdulillah, now in England, Allah has given us

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

such amazing abilities that India and Pakistan is

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

benefiting from places like England.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

How are they benefiting?

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

England has shown how you can do the

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

best of both worlds.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

England has shown that we have in many

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

of the madrasas, we have in East London

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

and other places.

00:12:09 --> 00:12:13

You got students who are in various different

00:12:13 --> 00:12:19

vocations, whether that be doing engineering, medicine, dentistry,

00:12:19 --> 00:12:23

pharmacy, and whatever it's psychology, whatever.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

And in the evening, they come in to

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

study.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

By the time they graduated, mashallah, they've got

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

maybe a master's in physics, PhD from Imperial

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

College in, I know at least one or

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

two people who have PhDs from Imperial College

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

in AI, and they're also alims.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

Some of them are even muftis now, got

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

the best of both worlds.

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

In some of the countries that people come

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

from here, it was one way or the

00:12:47 --> 00:12:47

other.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

You either went to school and college and

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

university, and the Islamic scholarship was for the

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

poor, was for the low class.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

Literally, religion is not for the high class.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

We got money, we got position, we have

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

good houses, we don't need religion.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

Religion is, as the people of Nuh a

00:13:06 --> 00:13:11

.s. said, أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكْ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْأَرْضَلُونَ Should we

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

believe in you while it's the lowly people

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

that have followed you?

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

Your followers are the lowly, the low class

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

people.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

This is unfortunately the case in some countries.

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

The wealthy don't see religion for them, because

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

when you're wealthy, you have a false sense

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

of security, complacency, apathy.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

I've got whatever I wanna eat, I can

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

wear what I want, I can live, drive

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

what I want, why do I need anything?

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

It's only when you're in trouble, when you're

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

struggling, I need God, you know.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:46

So this is a bit of a fitna,

00:13:46 --> 00:13:47

it's a bit of a challenge.

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

But mashallah, I'm here to tell you that

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

UK especially is blazing the path for the

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

best of both worlds where, mashallah, you've got

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

some of the best minds, they're getting top

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

A's in GCSEs, A's in A-levels, going

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

on degrees, and mashallah, alims and alimas.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

They're becoming alims and alimas, they're becoming scholars.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

That means that the vocation they're gonna go

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

in, pharmacy, there's gonna be an alim or

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

alima in there who'll have some sense of

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

ethics.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

They won't be just toying the line of

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

capitalism, at least hopefully not.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

That's the benefit of having ulema and alima

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

in those vocations.

00:14:27 --> 00:14:32

And mashallah, our children, we have some geniuses

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

within our children, they have amazing ability to

00:14:34 --> 00:14:39

remember, to understand the level of intellectual acumen

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

that they have.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

Why shortchange them?

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

Why shortchange them?

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

Why can't we give them the best of

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

both as many are doing?

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

So I'm here to tell you that that's

00:14:49 --> 00:14:49

an opportunity.

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

We have classes that you can attend physically.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

We have classes that you can attend online

00:14:55 --> 00:14:55

now.

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

And don't ever come up with this that,

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

you know what, for some people it's like,

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

مینے خاندان میں تو کوئی علم نہیں تا,

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

حافظ بھی نہیں تا, مینے خاندان میں تو

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

کوئی ہجاب بھی پہنتا نہیں ہے.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

مینے خاندان میں تو کوئی داری بھی نہیں

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

رکھی کسی نے.

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

What are you gonna do?

00:15:12 --> 00:15:13

You're telling your kid.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

I hope you understood that.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:17

You didn't understand that, right?

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

Some families say, we don't have a hafiz

00:15:22 --> 00:15:22

in our family.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

It's not part of our tradition.

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

We don't have any woman who wears hijab

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

in our family.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

It's not part of our tradition.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:31

Brother, it's your Muslim tradition.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

It may have not been in your family,

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

but now you started off.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

I can give you examples after being in

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

this world for like 40, 50 years now.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

I can give you examples that I have

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

seen now myself where nobody was a hafiz

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

in that family.

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

And now every single male guy in that

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

family is a hafiz of the Quran.

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

There were families where there's not a single

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

hijab in that family, traditionally.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

Now every single woman wears a hijab or

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

niqab.

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

And you know who gets a reward out

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

of that?

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

The first person who made that effort to

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

do it and had to face the music,

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

the criticism, they persevered.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:20

And believe me, dedicate your children at least

00:16:20 --> 00:16:21

if you can make them a hafiz.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

At least have one hafiz in the house.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

The hadith of the Prophet ﷺ in Sahih

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

Muslim, Sahih Bukhari, etc.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

said that this world will not end until

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

Allah, Allah is being proclaimed.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

As long as there's somebody to say Allah,

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

Allah, that's the nourishment of this world.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

It can't be, it can't end.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:43

Right?

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

That's why before the Day of Judgment, one

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

of the signs of the Days of Judgment

00:16:47 --> 00:16:51

is that there will erupt a wind, a

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

soft wind that all the believers will feel

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

and they will eventually perish.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

This is after Isa ﷺ, Gog, Magog, all

00:16:58 --> 00:16:58

the rest of it.

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

After all of that, really before the Day

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02

of Judgment until there's hardly anybody left to

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

say Allah, Allah, the world will then come

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

to an end.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

If this entire world on a macro level

00:17:08 --> 00:17:12

sustains itself with the name of Allah, then

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

how can a masjid or a small house

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

or a business not sustain itself with the

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

name of Allah?

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

You want blessing in your house?

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

You want blessing in your business?

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

Allah, Allah.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

If you have children, there was a point

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

in my house where Qur'an was being

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

recited at least minimum five hours a day

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

because we were teaching on my own.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

At least minimum five hours a day, huge

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

barakah, blessing from that.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

The name of Allah, the words of Allah

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

are being read in the house.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

That way you won't have to wait until

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

Ramadan for that to happen.

00:17:50 --> 00:17:51

It'll be an everyday thing.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

Believe me, the blessings of this is amazing.

00:17:56 --> 00:18:01

There's been cases where these are the children

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

who then, mashallah, turned the whole family into

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

religious and made that environment because the barakah

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

came in and the blessing came in.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:12

So today we are celebrating the last hadith

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

of this book.

00:18:13 --> 00:18:16

Now, what happens in this is that students

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

normally start this course and it takes six,

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

seven years to do properly, right?

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

Not every course is the same.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

Some are a bit kind of jaw blocks

00:18:25 --> 00:18:29

courses where the quality isn't amazing, but in

00:18:29 --> 00:18:30

others the quality is amazing.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

As you get in, there's good universities and

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

there's not so good universities.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:34

It's just like that.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

Now, mashallah, our girls today, the 15, I'm

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

told they're graduating.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

We had one of the students of this

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

madrasa a few years ago in our postgraduate.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:49

So we run White Thread Institute, which delivers

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

postgraduate courses.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

So all of these alims and alimas that

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

are graduating, in London alone there's over a

00:18:55 --> 00:18:59

thousand alims and alimas, alhamdulillah, throughout the city.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

What do they do after they complete?

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

Well, many might go to university, some girls

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

will just become a housewife sometimes, a mother,

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

whatever it is, different things.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

So we thought we need to provide them

00:19:10 --> 00:19:14

further courses so there's a continuous professional development.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:17

And mashallah, you know, I hope the standard

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

is the same, but judging from at least

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

one of the students that we've had from

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

this madrasa, I don't know who all the

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

teachers are here, but I've always wanted to

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

congratulate you guys, right?

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

And I've made dua for you guys that

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

at least one of your students who've come

00:19:31 --> 00:19:37

and studied with us, mashallah, she really did

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

very well.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

You could tell that she was taught very,

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

very well.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

And I am hoping and praying that the

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

standard continues like that.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

These 15 who are graduating, I want to

00:19:47 --> 00:19:51

congratulate them for persevering through these several years.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

Their parents, whether they knew or not what

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

they were really going through, because it takes

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

parents' dedication, otherwise parents are like, you need

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

to go and work, right?

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

You understood that one, right?

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

Alhamdulillah.

00:20:05 --> 00:20:09

And it's not easy, London is not easy.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

London is very expensive, everybody's forced to work.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

You go up north, there's many people sitting

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

around, they'll do your khidmat, they'll take you

00:20:15 --> 00:20:18

around, but London, you need appointments for everyone,

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

everybody's busy, right?

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

Everybody's trying to make more money, subhanallah, right?

00:20:23 --> 00:20:27

So congratulate the parents, and of course the

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

teachers, of their efforts.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

So these six books that we're talking about,

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

so the students started with learning Arabic, some

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

masail, fiqh, jurisprudence, then they're going to advanced

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

levels, they start studying hadith of the Prophet

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

ﷺ, and the final year culminates in a

00:20:45 --> 00:20:48

study of the six books, cover to cover,

00:20:48 --> 00:20:49

as much as possible.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

The benefit of doing that, we have a

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

tradition, our subcontinent tradition, we still have this

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

tradition, that every hadith of those six books

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

that any of our students, once they graduate,

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

will relate.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:07

They can tell you, they can relate to

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

you and transmit to you that hadith all

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

the way up to the Prophet ﷺ with

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

a continuous chain.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

This is something you may not know about.

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

So I'm going to give you a very

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

quick example of that.

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

When I relate the first hadith of Sahih

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

al-Bukhari, innama al-amalu bil niyyat, this

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

is how I relate it.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

I heard this hadith from Shaykh Yusuf Mutala,

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

rahimahullah, that Maulana just mentioned.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

He heard it from Shaykh Zakaria Kandhuri, he

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

heard it from Muhammad Yahya Kandhuri, from Shaykh

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

Rashid Ahmed Kandhuri, from Shaykh Abdul Ghani al

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

-Mujaddidi, from his father Shah Abu Sa'id

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

al-Mujaddidi, from Shah Muhammad Ishaq Zahlawi, from

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

Shah Abdul Aziz, who narrates from Shah Waniullah,

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

who narrates from Abu Tahir Muhammad ibn Ibrahim

00:21:52 --> 00:21:55

al-Qurdi, he relates from his father Ibrahim

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

ibn Hassan al-Qurdi, from Abdullah ibn Mullah

00:21:57 --> 00:22:00

Sa'dullah Lahori, from Qutb al-Din Muhammad ibn

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

Ahmad al-Nahrawali, from Alaa al-Din Ahmad

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

ibn Muhammad al-Nahrawali, from Hafiz Nur al

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

-Din Abu al-Futuh Ahmad ibn Abdullah, from

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

Al-Muammar Baba Muhammad Yusuf al-Harari, from

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

Muhammad ibn Sha'ad Bakht al-Farghani, right?

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

That went from the Indian subcontinent, it went

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

to Herat in Afghanistan, Harari, from there it's

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

just gone to Uzbekistan, Farghana, Farghani, if you

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

notice that.

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

Then from there it goes, Muammar Abu Luqman

00:22:25 --> 00:22:29

Yahya ibn Ammar ibn Muqbila al-Hatlani, from

00:22:29 --> 00:22:33

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Yusuf al-Firabri, and again

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

that's to Uzbekistan, and he relates from Muhammad

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

ibn Ismail al-Bukhari.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari then relates from

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

Humayni, from Sufyan, on to Abu Umar radiyallahu

00:22:43 --> 00:22:45

anhu, from the Prophet ﷺ.

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

So every single hadith of Bukhari that we

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

can relate, or Muslim, or Abu Dawud, or

00:22:51 --> 00:22:56

Nasai, or Tirmidhi, we can literally relate with

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

every single person in between, and that's probably

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59

about 25 to 30 people in between.

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

There's nobody else who has that tradition the

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

way the Muslims have, and among the Muslims,

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

the Indian subcontinent is unique with this.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:11

It happens in some Arab countries, but on

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

a very, very limited way, whereas in our

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

Indian subcontinent, I mean India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

Lanka, you can't be known as a qualified

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

alim, normally mawlana, alima, if you haven't been

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

through the six books, with this chain.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:28

That's amazing.

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

Inshallah, with the barakah of that chain, I'm

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

just going to say on Day of Judgment,

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

Ya Allah, I had this chain, put me

00:23:33 --> 00:23:34

with these great people.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:36

Put me with the likes, because I don't

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

know how I'm going to get to, you

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

know, it says that there's going to be

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

70,000 people who are going to get

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

into paradise without any reckoning.

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

I mean, do you know how difficult that

00:23:46 --> 00:23:46

is?

00:23:46 --> 00:23:50

Your competition is like Zazali, Jilani, Tanvi, Gangohi,

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

like, come on.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

That's a major competition.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

But we're just hoping with Allah and His

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

mercy is that, you know what, let's just,

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

we love these people, we followed their tradition,

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

and we did what we did.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

Let us be part of that.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:08

So now this final hadith which our Hazrat

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

Mawlana Ayyuzaw and our elders of this country,

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

mashallah, with very high chains that he has

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

himself, mashallah, and he's done, he's working on,

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

you know, mashallah, commentaries of Bukhari, of Shaykh

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

Yunus, rahimahullah, and other people.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

So he'll be completing the hadith, but this

00:24:23 --> 00:24:27

hadith is the last hadith of Sahih al

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

-Bukhari, which is usually reserved for this occasion,

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

that this hadith is then formally taught.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

And the hadith, I'll leave it to Hazrat

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

Mawlana to read it, but it's basically the

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

hadith of al-Tasbih, subhanAllahi wa bihamdi, subhanAllahil

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41

azeem, which is saying that there are two

00:24:41 --> 00:24:45

formulas, two statements, two words, two statements that

00:24:45 --> 00:24:49

are very, very simple to utter, subhanAllahi wa

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

bihamdi, subhanAllahil azeem, very simple to utter, aren't

00:24:52 --> 00:24:52

they?

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

Right, try it out, if you haven't tried

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

it out before, right?

00:24:55 --> 00:24:56

But they're going to be very, very heavy

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

on the scale, on the Day of Judgment.

00:24:59 --> 00:25:03

Again, it's just, we're just including excuses for

00:25:03 --> 00:25:05

salvation in the hereafter, ya Allah, I read

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

this verse, your Prophet ﷺ said that they're

00:25:07 --> 00:25:08

going to be very heavy in the scale,

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

my scale needs some heaviness, I've got this,

00:25:10 --> 00:25:10

come on.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

I mean, not in that kind of bold

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

way, but you know what I mean, right?

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

Inshallah, on the Day of Judgment, we're just

00:25:17 --> 00:25:23

trying to maximize potential to, inshallah, enter the

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

pleasure of Allah ﷻ.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:27

We just want to maximize multiple things that

00:25:27 --> 00:25:27

we can do, inshallah.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

And then he said, Prophet ﷺ said, they

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

are very beloved to Allah.

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

You can tell Allah, oh Allah, I said

00:25:37 --> 00:25:40

some of the most beloved words, and He

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

said it multiple times a day, subhanAllahi wa

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

bihamdihi, subhanAllahil azeem.

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

So then Imam Bukhari relates the hadith from

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

the Prophet ﷺ that this formula, subhanAllahi wa

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

bihamdihi, subhanAllahil azeem, is the one.

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

Before that, he discusses, the chapter heading is

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

about the scale of the Day of Judgment.

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

Now remember, the reason this hadith is there

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

is because it's going to be very heavy

00:26:04 --> 00:26:05

in the scale, so the discussion of the

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

scale, which is the mizan.

00:26:08 --> 00:26:09

Now, there's a lot of discussion about this

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

mizan, this scale.

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

You heard that there's going to be a

00:26:11 --> 00:26:12

scale in the Hereafter that's going to measure

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

our deeds.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

Has it ever crossed your mind that our

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

deeds are sometimes abstract ideas?

00:26:19 --> 00:26:20

Our deeds are not always like in the

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

form of a book, or in the form

00:26:22 --> 00:26:23

of a physical thing.

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

When we say subhanAllah, how is that captured?

00:26:27 --> 00:26:28

Where does that go?

00:26:28 --> 00:26:30

When we say alhamdulillah Allahu akbar, how is

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

that captured?

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

How is that going to go in a

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

scale?

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

How do you put subhanAllah in a scale?

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

Unless you write it down and put it

00:26:35 --> 00:26:36

in there.

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37

You understand what I'm saying?

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

So, some people, they actually denied the scale.

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

The mu'tazir was a group.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

They were rationalists.

00:26:43 --> 00:26:44

They said, you know, we don't believe in

00:26:44 --> 00:26:47

the scale because how can you measure abstract

00:26:47 --> 00:26:51

phenomena that are not tangible, that are not

00:26:51 --> 00:26:51

physical?

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

And I think they were writing at a

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

time when there were no barometers and thermometers

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

and things like that.

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

Now, you can measure all sorts of stuff,

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

can't you?

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

You can measure the waves in this room.

00:27:04 --> 00:27:04

We can't see them.

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

You can measure the heat, which you can

00:27:06 --> 00:27:10

only feel, but the thermometer measures that, right?

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

You have the ultrasound that through sound can

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

tell you what a fetus looks like.

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

Just using sound, it can form a picture.

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

It's amazing.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:25

So, just upgrades in technology have brought a

00:27:25 --> 00:27:29

reality to this that subhanAllah, that scale is

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

going to be a very smart scale.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

In modern understanding, that's going to be a

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

smart scale.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:35

It'll be able to figure out exactly.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

Now, remember on the Day of Judgment, what

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

happens is that there's going to be four

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

witnesses in everything that we've done.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

Four witnesses.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

Anybody know what the four are?

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

The one is the Book of Deeds.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

The angels, kiraman katibin, that write the Book

00:27:51 --> 00:27:52

of Deeds.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:53

So, there's going to be that Book of

00:27:53 --> 00:27:53

Deeds.

00:27:53 --> 00:27:56

And they literally take everything.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:59

That was so difficult to understand before.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:04

But now, with Google literally capturing every single

00:28:04 --> 00:28:10

keystroke, every single voice capture, every single place

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

it's been, and you can get this information,

00:28:13 --> 00:28:15

you're like shocked, like you even forget.

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

That shows that, not just that though, Allah

00:28:18 --> 00:28:19

has multiple witnesses.

00:28:20 --> 00:28:21

Allah has witnesses then in the ground.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

The ground will become a smart ground.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:31

Anything we did on any part of the

00:28:31 --> 00:28:32

land.

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

So, the ground is going to be a

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

witness that you sat here.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

What's your name, bud?

00:28:38 --> 00:28:41

Kashif Saab sat in that particular place.

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

Right?

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

Kashif Saab and his son sat in that

00:28:50 --> 00:28:51

place for Bukhari khatam.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

It's amazing, isn't it?

00:28:54 --> 00:28:55

The ground is remembering all of that.

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

That's number two.

00:28:57 --> 00:28:59

Number three, the heart is a hard drive,

00:29:00 --> 00:29:01

capturing everything.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:05

Allah says, وَحُسِّلَ مَا فِي السُّدُورِ That which

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

is in the hearts will be revealed, will

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

be displayed.

00:29:08 --> 00:29:09

It's capturing everything.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:10

Amazing.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:11

I mean, what are you going to, can

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

you escape from your hearts?

00:29:13 --> 00:29:13

Subhanallah.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:15

Allah make it easy.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:19

And the fourth one is the limbs.

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

As mentioned in the Quran.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

The limbs and we're going to get angry

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

with Allah and say, why are you speaking

00:29:25 --> 00:29:26

against us?

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

Allah caused us to speak, who causes everything

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

to speak.

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

So, there's no escape on that day.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

So, everything gets, so there will be this

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

Meezan, this Meezan that will happen on that

00:29:41 --> 00:29:41

day.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

Now, there's been a number of other advancements

00:29:43 --> 00:29:48

that have pretty much confirmed many things of

00:29:48 --> 00:29:48

the past.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

For example, there's an incident that took place

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

in the time of Umar radiyallahu anhu.

00:29:52 --> 00:29:52

Why?

00:29:52 --> 00:29:53

He's the Khalifa.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

He's giving a khutbah.

00:29:54 --> 00:29:55

So, it's a Juma time.

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

He's giving the khutbah, he's giving the bayan.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

He's in front of hundreds of thousands of

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

people.

00:30:01 --> 00:30:02

So, everybody witnesses this as well.

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

So, imagine now, I'm talking to you and

00:30:05 --> 00:30:09

then suddenly, I said, take a left turn.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

You're going to think I'm crazy.

00:30:11 --> 00:30:13

You're going to think I'm crazy, like why

00:30:13 --> 00:30:14

am I disturbing the bayan for?

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

You wouldn't think I'm crazy though that I'm

00:30:16 --> 00:30:19

speaking to somebody else because I've probably got

00:30:19 --> 00:30:19

an earpiece on.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

That's quite normal down there.

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

Before, just like we had, now you have

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

earpods.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:28

But now before you had the phones in

00:30:28 --> 00:30:29

hijabs.

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

She's walking down the street with a phone

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

in a hijab and she's speaking like you

00:30:34 --> 00:30:35

say, like are you crazy?

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

Who are you speaking to?

00:30:37 --> 00:30:38

Speaking to somebody.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

Now people have earpods and they're just speaking

00:30:40 --> 00:30:42

to somebody randomly as they're walking, right?

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

But people now understand this because everybody does

00:30:44 --> 00:30:44

it.

00:30:45 --> 00:30:46

Soon, you're not going to need an earpod.

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

You're going to need just a little chip

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

here or something and you know, you'll have

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

everything in there.

00:30:52 --> 00:30:54

Umar radiyallahu anhu demonstrated this without any of

00:30:54 --> 00:30:55

this apparatus.

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

What happened was many many hundreds of miles

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

away, there was a person called Saria who

00:31:02 --> 00:31:05

was in one of the battles and ajeeb,

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

it was strange.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

They've taken their precaution but the enemy was

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

behind the mountain and they didn't know that.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:17

And suddenly Umar radiyallahu anhu calls out to

00:31:17 --> 00:31:20

Saria who was hundreds of miles away, watch

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

out behind the mountain.

00:31:23 --> 00:31:24

Now people are obviously shocked.

00:31:25 --> 00:31:28

When Saria came back after multiple weeks or

00:31:28 --> 00:31:29

months or whatever it was, they asked him

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

and they confirmed that yes, I was in

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

this expedition and I heard Umar radiyallahu anhu's

00:31:35 --> 00:31:39

voice telling me to look and take precaution

00:31:39 --> 00:31:41

from the mountain because the enemy was there

00:31:41 --> 00:31:41

and I didn't know that.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

Today that's become a reality.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:46

It's no longer even a miracle as such.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

You can do this.

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

You can even watch the whole scene from

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

here, right?

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

So these modern things are telling us.

00:31:54 --> 00:31:59

For example, there's a reporter online, Muslim reporter

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

online and somebody took him to task and

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

said that you really believe in the prophet

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

Muhammad, right?

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

And you really believe that he went on

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

this buraq, on this animal up to the

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

heavens, like trying to show you must be

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

crazy to believe that.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:16

Is that really a crazy thing now to

00:32:16 --> 00:32:16

believe?

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

Is that really unimaginable?

00:32:20 --> 00:32:24

Hasn't it not entered into the realm of

00:32:24 --> 00:32:27

possible things now that you can actually travel

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

into space?

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

Okay, you might need a spacesuit at present.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

But why is it difficult to imagine that

00:32:34 --> 00:32:37

in a few years they'll find some kind

00:32:37 --> 00:32:40

of resistance that they'll just spray on you

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

and you can go into and not feel

00:32:42 --> 00:32:46

the pressure up there as the prophet sallallahu

00:32:46 --> 00:32:47

alayhi wa sallam went up there.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

It's come into the realm of possibilities.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:51

Nobody can reject this kind of thing anymore

00:32:51 --> 00:32:55

because progress advancements have shown all of these

00:32:55 --> 00:32:56

as possible.

00:32:56 --> 00:32:59

There's numerous other cases like that.

00:33:00 --> 00:33:07

So this is nothing to be surprised about.

00:33:07 --> 00:33:08

The prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

hold on to a pillar to give khutbah.

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

And then they made a mimbar.

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

So he moved over from the pillar, stood

00:33:16 --> 00:33:16

on the mimbar.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:19

And that Friday the pillar was heard sobbing

00:33:19 --> 00:33:20

by everybody.

00:33:22 --> 00:33:23

I mean, that would still be a bit

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

strange if you heard this sobbing.

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

But then you think that they put a

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

speaker in there, right?

00:33:28 --> 00:33:30

It was just a smart pillar.

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

He had intelligence.

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

He had a heart.

00:33:32 --> 00:33:34

But usually these things don't speak.

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

But now they can because you have smart

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

pillars.

00:33:37 --> 00:33:42

You can smart, you know, smart fridges and

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

smart things and smart shoes and all the

00:33:44 --> 00:33:45

rest of it.

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

So day by day, things are becoming more

00:33:47 --> 00:33:48

of a reality.

00:33:50 --> 00:33:53

What I want to finish off with is

00:33:53 --> 00:33:57

just a little poem on the legacy of

00:33:57 --> 00:33:58

Imam Bukhari.

00:34:03 --> 00:34:09

In Bukhara's land, where history's tapestry unfurls, Imam

00:34:09 --> 00:34:12

Bukhari, his legacy, his cherished pearls.

00:34:13 --> 00:34:16

From Persian, Turkic, or roots yet undefined.

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

Because we don't know if he was Persian

00:34:18 --> 00:34:20

in origin or Turkic in origin.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:23

He labored and devoted heart, soul and mind.

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

Al-Jami al-Sahih, that's the book name.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:30

His monumental tone, guidance from the heaven, a

00:34:30 --> 00:34:31

spiritual home.

00:34:32 --> 00:34:36

Accepted by Allah, it found its sacred place.

00:34:36 --> 00:34:39

In every corner, it is recited and embraced.

00:34:40 --> 00:34:42

Can you believe that Imam Bukhari would have

00:34:42 --> 00:34:48

ever imagined that somebody in Croydon, his book

00:34:48 --> 00:34:48

would be being completed?

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

I don't even know if Croydon existed then,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:53

as part of Londinium.

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

I don't know if it even existed.

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

Can you imagine the kabuliyah and acceptance of

00:34:59 --> 00:34:59

that?

00:35:01 --> 00:35:05

With over 100 commentaries, profound scholars delve deep

00:35:05 --> 00:35:07

in his wisdom they found.

00:35:07 --> 00:35:10

Today we gather in a joyous, humble quest.

00:35:10 --> 00:35:13

Our du'as ascent, in unity we're blessed.

00:35:14 --> 00:35:17

Year after year, this noble completion's grace, a

00:35:17 --> 00:35:20

journey of faith, a spiritual embrace, to earn

00:35:20 --> 00:35:24

the title, revered and pure, scholarships pinnacle they

00:35:24 --> 00:35:25

must endure.

00:35:26 --> 00:35:28

Shaykh al-Hadith, a mantle that's well-earned

00:35:28 --> 00:35:31

by those who've labored and wisdom discerned.

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

In the footsteps of Imam Bukhari, they tread.

00:35:33 --> 00:35:36

His legacy alive, their souls are fed.

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

In gratitude and reverence, we stand tall.

00:35:40 --> 00:35:42

For the wisdom passed down, we heed the

00:35:42 --> 00:35:42

call.

00:35:42 --> 00:35:44

With praise and prayer, our hearts unite.

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

In the light of Sahih al-Bukhari, we

00:35:47 --> 00:35:48

find our flight.

00:35:49 --> 00:35:50

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept it

00:35:50 --> 00:35:50

for us.

00:35:51 --> 00:35:54

Now turning to the students, you have just

00:35:54 --> 00:35:59

finished your labor of love, inshallah, all of

00:35:59 --> 00:35:59

these years.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

Some of you may have been strongly encouraged,

00:36:03 --> 00:36:04

in other words, forced.

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

Some of you may have not understood why

00:36:07 --> 00:36:09

you're there in the beginning and then understood

00:36:09 --> 00:36:10

that later.

00:36:10 --> 00:36:13

Some of you, God forbid, may still not

00:36:13 --> 00:36:15

understand, what's the big deal about this?

00:36:16 --> 00:36:17

What have I spent all of these years

00:36:17 --> 00:36:17

doing?

00:36:18 --> 00:36:21

But what I'm going to say is that

00:36:21 --> 00:36:27

you have been chosen, my sisters, every one

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

of you and every other sister who's studying,

00:36:29 --> 00:36:31

you have been chosen among thousands of others

00:36:31 --> 00:36:34

in this community to sacrifice your time and

00:36:34 --> 00:36:35

do this.

00:36:35 --> 00:36:37

It's not a random choice.

00:36:38 --> 00:36:39

This is by design.

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

Allah has done this.

00:36:40 --> 00:36:41

This is Allah's decree.

00:36:42 --> 00:36:43

Now it's up to us to value it

00:36:43 --> 00:36:45

and do something with it and ask Allah

00:36:45 --> 00:36:48

to assist and accept us for the service

00:36:48 --> 00:36:49

of his deen.

00:36:49 --> 00:36:56

The Prophet ﷺ said, It's an amazing hadith

00:36:56 --> 00:37:00

related by Imam Ahmad and Imam Ibn Hibban

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

from Amr Ibn Al-Hamik r.a, relatively

00:37:03 --> 00:37:06

unknown, relatively less known sahabi.

00:37:06 --> 00:37:10

He says, Now this is applicable to all

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

of us, by the way, right?

00:37:12 --> 00:37:15

The housewife, to the taxi driver, to the

00:37:15 --> 00:37:19

lawyer, to the businessman, to the investor, to

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

the alim, to everyone, right?

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

The Prophet ﷺ told the sahaba, he said,

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

He will use him.

00:37:31 --> 00:37:32

He will employ him.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:34

Sahaba said, what do you mean?

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

What does that mean?

00:37:37 --> 00:37:48

The Prophet ﷺ said, He

00:37:48 --> 00:37:51

will give him the ability, he will enable

00:37:51 --> 00:37:54

him to do something before his death by

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

which the people around him will be happy

00:37:56 --> 00:37:59

with him, right?

00:38:01 --> 00:38:02

And that's amazing.

00:38:03 --> 00:38:05

We're gonna ask Allah, so one thing I

00:38:05 --> 00:38:06

would tell all of our students and every

00:38:06 --> 00:38:08

one of us, that at least after one

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

prayer of the day, let us ask Allah,

00:38:10 --> 00:38:11

oh Allah, accept me for the service of

00:38:11 --> 00:38:11

your deen.

00:38:12 --> 00:38:13

I don't know how I can help.

00:38:13 --> 00:38:14

Some people are like, how can I help?

00:38:14 --> 00:38:15

I don't know.

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

Oh Allah, help me.

00:38:17 --> 00:38:18

Just accept me and you'll see that Allah

00:38:18 --> 00:38:19

will employ us.

00:38:20 --> 00:38:23

Whether with our physical ability, whether with our

00:38:23 --> 00:38:25

occupation, whether with our skill set, whether with

00:38:25 --> 00:38:28

our money, whatever it is, Allah will help

00:38:28 --> 00:38:29

us.

00:38:29 --> 00:38:31

And that way we stop living a selfish

00:38:31 --> 00:38:32

life that we've been living.

00:38:33 --> 00:38:34

We start doing something.

00:38:34 --> 00:38:37

We start incurring some good deeds for others.

00:38:37 --> 00:38:39

We start incurring the mercy of Allah subhanahu

00:38:39 --> 00:38:39

wa ta'ala.

00:38:40 --> 00:38:44

So, number one, especially for our students, the

00:38:44 --> 00:38:46

knowledge that you have received, you need to

00:38:46 --> 00:38:46

use it.

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

That means go and find a place to

00:38:49 --> 00:38:49

teach.

00:38:50 --> 00:38:51

If you can't find a place to teach,

00:38:52 --> 00:38:54

because sometimes there's so many teachers and there's

00:38:54 --> 00:38:56

so many places to teach, go and find

00:38:56 --> 00:38:57

one person.

00:38:57 --> 00:38:58

Go and find a student.

00:38:59 --> 00:39:02

After I graduated, I did mufti class twice.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:03

I did all of that stuff.

00:39:03 --> 00:39:05

I ended up in America in a small

00:39:05 --> 00:39:07

community on the coast with one masjid within

00:39:07 --> 00:39:09

70 miles and only 100 people for Jumu

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

'ah.

00:39:10 --> 00:39:11

A very small community.

00:39:13 --> 00:39:14

Here you have like 10 masjids in 10

00:39:14 --> 00:39:15

miles, right?

00:39:15 --> 00:39:16

Oh sorry, 10 minutes on the drive.

00:39:18 --> 00:39:19

There's no madrasah.

00:39:19 --> 00:39:20

There's nobody to study the deep stuff.

00:39:21 --> 00:39:22

What did I do?

00:39:22 --> 00:39:23

I was like feeling really bad.

00:39:23 --> 00:39:24

I was feeling my knowledge is going.

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

Allah gave us tawfiq that I found a

00:39:27 --> 00:39:31

few locals, regular workers who were interested and

00:39:31 --> 00:39:32

started teaching them.

00:39:32 --> 00:39:34

After ghalib we just sit in like 10

00:39:34 --> 00:39:37

minutes, half an hour after isha, weekends, whatever.

00:39:38 --> 00:39:38

That's how it is.

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

Find somebody to teach you.

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

Stop waiting for somebody to come to you.

00:39:43 --> 00:39:44

Go and find the gap.

00:39:45 --> 00:39:46

What is needed in your community?

00:39:48 --> 00:39:49

Basically a lot of people just do what

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

others are doing, which is easy to do.

00:39:52 --> 00:39:52

Find the gap.

00:39:52 --> 00:39:53

Find what's needed.

00:39:54 --> 00:39:57

There are women sitting in the mornings, masjids

00:39:57 --> 00:39:57

which are empty.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

Start women's classes for the housewives.

00:40:01 --> 00:40:02

The children have gone to school.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:04

They're doing nothing at home.

00:40:05 --> 00:40:07

Well that's where we started in our masjid.

00:40:07 --> 00:40:08

Maybe you've already got it going.

00:40:08 --> 00:40:10

And mashallah, it was amazing.

00:40:11 --> 00:40:12

It was supposed to be a two year

00:40:12 --> 00:40:12

class.

00:40:13 --> 00:40:14

It ended up being seven years.

00:40:14 --> 00:40:15

They just didn't want to leave.

00:40:15 --> 00:40:17

They had to keep adding to them.

00:40:17 --> 00:40:18

It was just amazing.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:19

You get hooked on to this stuff.

00:40:19 --> 00:40:20

So go and find somebody to teach.

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

Number two, your knowledge does not stop here.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:27

All you studied, you know when we studied

00:40:27 --> 00:40:29

the six years, all we've studied is how

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

to learn now.

00:40:30 --> 00:40:31

Now it begins now.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

So don't think that you've studied everything.

00:40:34 --> 00:40:35

It all begins.

00:40:35 --> 00:40:37

Take some postgraduate courses.

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

And you know, White Thread is open for

00:40:40 --> 00:40:40

you.

00:40:40 --> 00:40:41

The White Thread Institute is open for you

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

to do that inshallah.

00:40:43 --> 00:40:44

As I said, you know, we've already had

00:40:44 --> 00:40:45

students from here.

00:40:46 --> 00:40:47

So that's number two.

00:40:47 --> 00:40:50

Number three, not everything has to be charged

00:40:50 --> 00:40:51

for.

00:40:52 --> 00:40:54

So go and volunteer your time in different

00:40:54 --> 00:40:54

places.

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

You are going to be considered an alima.

00:40:59 --> 00:41:00

Whatever you think of yourself.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:04

So we have to then treat ourselves and

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

handle ourselves.

00:41:05 --> 00:41:07

It helps us to stay straight.

00:41:08 --> 00:41:09

And it's a sacrifice.

00:41:09 --> 00:41:11

Your friends, if you still have friends that

00:41:11 --> 00:41:13

do weird things, maybe doing weird things that

00:41:13 --> 00:41:16

you can't do it, it's a sacrifice.

00:41:17 --> 00:41:19

But eventually Allah will give you happiness within

00:41:19 --> 00:41:21

the sacrifice.

00:41:22 --> 00:41:27

Many, many productive ulama, all productive ulama are

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

happy in what they do.

00:41:29 --> 00:41:30

Life is not boring.

00:41:31 --> 00:41:31

It's very exciting.

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

A lot of people think that excitement is

00:41:35 --> 00:41:38

only in the haram or on the edge

00:41:38 --> 00:41:39

things.

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

It's not the case.

00:41:40 --> 00:41:42

Happiness is what Allah provides.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:44

Excitement is what Allah gives and bestows.

00:41:45 --> 00:41:46

Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for satisfaction.

00:41:47 --> 00:41:48

One beautiful du'a for that for anybody.

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

We're just too much into haram or wrong

00:41:51 --> 00:41:54

and we don't feel happy about good, right?

00:41:54 --> 00:41:59

اللهم اكفني بحلالك عن حرامك و اغنني بفضلك

00:41:59 --> 00:42:00

عن من سواك Get your ulama to write

00:42:00 --> 00:42:01

for you afterwards.

00:42:01 --> 00:42:04

اللهم اكفني بحلالك عن حرامك Beautiful du'a.

00:42:04 --> 00:42:06

Let's just say somebody's got a beautiful spouse

00:42:06 --> 00:42:09

at home, but they're always enticed by others

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

and they're not then satisfied.

00:42:12 --> 00:42:15

Or there's lots of haram opportunities for business

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

while Allah has given them a decent business

00:42:17 --> 00:42:18

or income.

00:42:18 --> 00:42:20

Oh Allah suffice me with the halal away

00:42:20 --> 00:42:21

from the haram.

00:42:21 --> 00:42:24

So the halal, make me suffice with that,

00:42:24 --> 00:42:25

satisfied with that.

00:42:26 --> 00:42:28

If we can do that, that'll be amazing.

00:42:28 --> 00:42:30

That life becomes easier.

00:42:30 --> 00:42:32

And oh Allah make me independent of everybody

00:42:32 --> 00:42:33

besides you.

00:42:34 --> 00:42:34

A beautiful du'a.

00:42:34 --> 00:42:35

It's helped me.

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

It's helped me a lot.

00:42:37 --> 00:42:39

And keep your link with Allah subhanahu wa

00:42:39 --> 00:42:41

ta'ala because that's where your power will

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

come from.

00:42:42 --> 00:42:44

That's where your endurance will come from.

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

That's where your perseverance comes from.

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

A link with Allah.

00:42:47 --> 00:42:50

And that means you must have dhikr.

00:42:50 --> 00:42:52

Certain amount of dhikr that you do every

00:42:52 --> 00:42:52

day.

00:42:52 --> 00:42:55

Istighfar, salawat on the Prophet shallallahu alayhi wa

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

sallam, a wird of la ilaha illallah, some

00:42:58 --> 00:43:00

meditation, du'as to Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:43:00 --> 00:43:00

'ala.

00:43:00 --> 00:43:02

That will keep you strong.

00:43:02 --> 00:43:03

Otherwise, we get misled.

00:43:04 --> 00:43:07

So again, I congratulate everybody here.

00:43:07 --> 00:43:08

I mean, what is a congratulation?

00:43:08 --> 00:43:10

May Allah bless everybody here, right?

00:43:10 --> 00:43:14

Who have attended to mashaAllah encouraged these sisters.

00:43:15 --> 00:43:16

And do you have a men's course as

00:43:16 --> 00:43:16

well?

00:43:17 --> 00:43:17

You have that?

00:43:18 --> 00:43:19

Are there some graduates of men's as well?

00:43:20 --> 00:43:21

Not yet.

00:43:21 --> 00:43:22

When will that happen?

00:43:23 --> 00:43:23

This guy is waiting.

00:43:23 --> 00:43:24

00:43:25 --> 00:43:25

What's your name?

00:43:27 --> 00:43:27

Abdul Rahim.

00:43:28 --> 00:43:29

When are you going to start your hifz?

00:43:30 --> 00:43:31

When you finish?

00:43:32 --> 00:43:32

MashaAllah.

00:43:32 --> 00:43:33

Then alim course?

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

You don't know?

00:43:37 --> 00:43:38

Yeah, hifz class here, mashaAllah.

00:43:38 --> 00:43:40

So alim class means you are still orthodox?

00:43:42 --> 00:43:43

MashaAllah, inshaAllah.

00:43:43 --> 00:43:43

This guy is waiting.

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

What's your name?

00:43:45 --> 00:43:46

Abdul Rahim.

00:43:48 --> 00:43:49

And what's your name?

00:43:51 --> 00:43:51

Noman.

00:43:52 --> 00:43:53

You done hifz as well?

00:43:54 --> 00:43:55

MashaAllah, alhamdulillah.

00:43:55 --> 00:43:56

All the hafiz are sitting here.

00:43:56 --> 00:43:57

That's amazing.

00:43:57 --> 00:43:58

Alhamdulillah.

00:43:59 --> 00:44:01

So may Allah take it inshaAllah boys course

00:44:01 --> 00:44:03

as well, guys course inshaAllah as well.

00:44:03 --> 00:44:05

And we just have to take matters in

00:44:05 --> 00:44:07

our own hands to the benefit of the

00:44:07 --> 00:44:07

community.

00:44:08 --> 00:44:10

These same ulema, alima, then they start providing

00:44:10 --> 00:44:13

various services to the community.

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

It just benefits us.

00:44:14 --> 00:44:16

We get the benefit of it inshaAllah.

00:44:17 --> 00:44:19

Circular, you know, it just comes back to

00:44:19 --> 00:44:19

us.

00:44:19 --> 00:44:20

Allah accept.

00:44:21 --> 00:44:22

Allah jazakallah khair Mufti sahab.

00:44:22 --> 00:44:24

Mufti sahab was, we were together in in

00:44:24 --> 00:44:29

1998, 99.

00:44:29 --> 00:44:30

Alhamdulillah, we studied together.

00:44:30 --> 00:44:31

Alhamdulillah.

00:44:32 --> 00:44:33

Assalamu alaikum.

00:44:34 --> 00:44:37

The point of a lecture is to encourage

00:44:37 --> 00:44:40

people to act, to get further, an inspiration,

00:44:41 --> 00:44:43

an encouragement, persuasion.

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

The next step is to actually start learning

00:44:45 --> 00:44:49

seriously, to read books, to take on a

00:44:49 --> 00:44:50

subject of Islam and to understand all the

00:44:50 --> 00:44:53

subjects of Islam, at least at their basic

00:44:53 --> 00:44:55

level so that we can become more aware

00:44:55 --> 00:44:56

of what our deen wants from us.

00:44:57 --> 00:45:00

And that's why we started Rayyan courses so

00:45:00 --> 00:45:03

that you can actually take organized lectures on

00:45:03 --> 00:45:06

demand whenever you have free time, especially, for

00:45:06 --> 00:45:10

example, the Islamic essentials course that we have

00:45:10 --> 00:45:12

on there, the Islamic essentials certificate, which you

00:45:12 --> 00:45:14

take 20 short modules.

00:45:15 --> 00:45:16

And at the end of that, inshaAllah, you

00:45:16 --> 00:45:20

will have gotten the basics of most of

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

the most important topics in Islam and you'll

00:45:22 --> 00:45:24

feel a lot more confident.

00:45:24 --> 00:45:25

You don't have to leave lectures behind.

00:45:25 --> 00:45:28

You can continue to listen to lectures, but

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

you need to have this more sustained study

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

as well.

00:45:31 --> 00:45:32

Jazakallah khair.

00:45:32 --> 00:45:33

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
