AI: Summary ©
This book that we're studying brothers
and sisters,
it's a very very important
concise looking book.
Even though the book is very, very small,
It's not more than a page and a
half when you translate it in, in Arabic.
It's only a page and a half,
even though the structure of it is very
very small,
but the meaning of it
is very vast and great.
And you're going to come to see inshaabahu
ta'ala
where maybe one line,
we're going to be explaining it for a
whole one and a half hour lesson.
For example, now, the matter of attaining no
other
as you're gonna come to see
But before that, what we need to understand
and also know is who this imam, whose
book are we studying?
Because like I said to you earlier, Fani,
fit me to show a hat. There is
doubts everywhere.
You go
to one side and want to come. Someone's
gonna say to you, what? Come to this
kind of creed.
You have to believe that the promise is
alive, and then the promise
is has their Nazir.
He's omnipresent.
How do we know who the truth caller
is?
And that's why I mentioned at the beginning,
what we're trying to do is connect the
people to the classic scholars.
People who are authentic, trustworthy
in what they have taught, in what they
have given.
So you know that Khabibi, his
And he was from who? The teachers of
Imam al Bukhari As
the prophet mentioned in the beginning.
It is the most
authentic book
after the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
The ahadith
in the
scholars have become
tired
in trying to find
a hadith with a defect
or a weak narration,
Imam al Bukhari Rahmama wa ta'ala
as they mentioned,
he
used the phrase
for every single hadith that he put in
there.
And that's why
So
Sometimes you find the caliber
and also the scholarship
and the honor of an individual
due to his students. One of the ways
to find out
if this person is high in knowledge,
is that which he has,
his works,
people that praise him,
and the third thing is what? The students
they has.
The students they have.
And you know, Muhar used to take a
hadith from whom?
Called Imam Abu Zoor al Razi
and also Imam Buhadim Razi.
They were ima when they came to a
haveith. The praises are there. The ulama have
praised them,
has spoken highly regarding them,
and these are only some of the students
of
Imam al Khomeidi,
Rahim as
muslim mentioned, he had
21 students
and these are only 3 of the students
that I mentioned. Why? Because they are very
very common amongst us and we know much
about them.
He was born
He was born
in and that's where he grew
up.
And he
was a student
of the imam and the half of his
time,
a man,
a great imam, a scholar called Sufir al
Nariyim. If you go after the first hadith
in Sahih al Bukhari,
The first hadith that Imam Bukhari mentions. Why
did he mention the first hadith? One of
the reasons is what? So when the person
is reading a book, he can rectify his
intention. And also to himself, when he's going
through the book he can what? He can
do upon the correct intention. Imagine he went
through the whole book compiling,
over 2,000 hadith.
And he did it with the correct intention,
the incorrect intention,
it would all go twist.
And sometimes you find that when the book
is taken is taken by the name of
the acceptance,
it's because this person had the correct intention.
There's sometimes books that we find in every
single, masjid.
The Kitab, we all saw the him, of
Imam al Nawi,
this book, Imam al Bukhari.
And perhaps,
the Ummah took this with acceptance because of
their correct intention.
So you have in this first hadith,
He was from the best students and from
the greatest companions that he had.
Also one of the that
the Ummah has taken with acceptance.
He used to accompany him
just like, you know, you have a person
when he walks, he has a shadow.
It's an example that is broad. He used
to be very very close to him. He
used to accompany him all the time. Just
like the shadow would accompany an individual when
he's walking.
Whenever he stayed and resided, he would accompany
him. And whenever he traveled, he would accompany
him as well. And
he used to narrate from Imam al Shaikhir
and he also
and he stayed with Imam al Shafi'i until
he departed from his dunya.
So he stayed with him for a very
long time.
In the year 204
after
219
after Egypt.
So then after that, he came back to
Makkah,
he came back to Makkah
and he stayed there until
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala took his soul, now
in the year 219.
So you find that his students are imma,
people that we all know. The ignorant guy,
the ignorant Muslim you find that he knows
Imam al Bukhari.
Imam
and also Sufarian Reina,
the knowledge would have
disappeared from Al hija, Saudi Arabia.
Had they not been for the teacher, the
one
that was studying now.
Imam Ahmed we all know about Imam Ahmed,
and the reason why I'm bringing this that
most of us are coming out and we
know about them
is Mikulas. So you feel
secure and confident about all your studying and
who you're taking your knowledge from.
This knowledge is your religion.
So be careful where you take your religion
from.
Imam Ahmed, he said, al Humaydi.
Humaydi,
we know him.
We know him to be from to to
be an imam.
We see him to be an imam.
I haven't seen a friend that knew
that has,
the kind of memorization
was one that had more memorization
than Imam al Khomeini. He used to memorize
10,000 hadith
from
Probably 10,000 a hadith is not,
it's not something that is light or something
that is small.
Allah
blessed them with this kind of memorization,
and they had this kind of pain. Maybe
if we try,
even some of the scholars about the H
and A, they try all their lives.
They might not be able to, you know,
reach
5,000 ahadith, 6,000 ahadith.
May
Allah
have mercy
upon all these that we just mentioned. So
how is someone going to come today
and tell us
that the aqeedah that we have, the aqeedah
is the
incorrect
or come and oppose the
and hide it from the people. When you
have
who are going in a hole and finish
us all that we're going to be teaching
them insha'aAllah
about theqalah. So
it makes it clear to you that you
have something that is authentic, something that is
trustworthy amongst you
now.
And brothers make the intention
that when you study this book,
you teach it to your families, and you
teach the people.
And it carries on all the way to
what they understand.
While you're inside your grave as well. We
hear a lot about what
the
the continuous reward.
The continuous.
The continuous
reward.
Even while you're in your cover,
And every time that person acts upon it,
everyone that follows him upon that guidance, he
gets the reward.
Then inshallah he goes and teaches it, and
then he teaches his family, his kids, and
he carries on the
And he might be one of the only
things that might benefit us.
Our sins and the that we have on
because only what
the prophet
3 things brought up to his grave. 2
things come back on one stage with him.
What
are the 2 things that can come back?
The thing that remains is actions.
I'm
going to start
the chapter of Adar.
Brothers,
the issue of Adar
is a very, very delicate matter.
It's a touchy issue.
Forget about the layman, you find
students of management, they're studying the chapters
of when they come to the chapter of
Al Qaeda,
what do they do? They skip it.
Because why it's so hard?
I don't tend to I I don't intend
to tell you this to make you run
away from the topic.
Oh Allah, the teacher of Dawood.
And the one that makes your iman understand.
Teach me this matter.
Out of tawadur,
if I'm the king al Rahman walnutai never
understood something, he would what?
He would go to the mud
or the dirt
on the floor, and he would start
whacking himself on the dirt after harmonised
out of tawadro.
Oh Allah, teach me.
Just like a damah, like an animal would,
flame himself on the floor, he would do
that.
So you make a dua to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. You ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to teach you, ma'am.
And insha Allah Wa Ta'ala, we will understand,
and I'm going to try and break it
down
as much as possible
in sections,
in points.
So it is easy. I've taught it many
times the matter attained in and hopefully, inshallah,
it will be in the best possible manner
to actually deliver this
due to obviously having gone over it many
times and inshallah I'll give you some black
tidings those before
who have studied this with me Alhamdulillah, in
the end they actually understood it. So,
and we just do this from our and,
hoping
be made
easy. Like, so
That the sunnah win us,
those are our texts that see this, as
soon as you're in the land,
The sunnah with us.
That Haman
The Hebrew is in what?
The sweetness of it and also the bitter
of it.
So the imam
started with the word
Depending on the context, when the word
is used,
depending on the context and also the field,
it can have a complete different meaning.
And the 2 before or
the 2 after
or the 4 before or the 2 after
and the 2 after
when a person does a sunnah, let's just
say now I pray
So like I said,
depending on which field we are studying, the
word
differs.
Let's put the oath to the side now.
We just mentioned now the issue of qadr.
The imam said, as soon as the the
sun with us what? Is the
Is it now a choice
for us to actually believe in if I
want, like, a leader of
law. When it comes to the chapter
of aqidah, you find that
it is an obligation
upon every single Muslim to believe it.
I don't have the choice to either believe
in the or leave it off.
And Rubah is also a mentality that we
need to try and run away from as
much as possible.
Because there's a sunnah, I'm going to leave
it off.
And whether we believe or not, you find
that this now
tends to affect our
We tend to become lazy.
We're not used to actually doing on a
regular basis, so when the YJibat come, it
becomes harder on a person.
Look at the Mubad
In
the I
fear.
I feel that if I leave of any
of these comments
that Allah
will deviate,
meaning away from the incorrect path.
So the so how it is to do
something. We leave it up today,
and it affects our Ibadat.
Knowing something that is wrong, and opposing the
messengers
You find that the consequences
are severe. Allah says
Let those people who oppose
his command, the command of the prophet
and to say, oh fitna.
That they would be afflicted with a fitna.
Do you know what a fitna is?
Apostaking for the return of Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. And this is the third from Allah
Brothers, don't be
amazed
if one of us tomorrow,
including myself,
upon states from the original Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala tomorrow, seeing with my own eyes. Some
of our Somani Roberts,
who used to pray with us inside the
Masjid, today are atheists.
This is something unheard in the Somali culture.
What is the difference between us and them?
We pray the message, they pray the message
as well.
The hearts are between the fingers
on the fingers of
Allah If Allah
rules, you'll put them straight back, all the
way to the deviate him away from the
correct path.
It can happen overnight.
That's what the prophet was. The prophet
said,
he would wake up in the morning while
he's a Muslim and then in the night
he becomes a cafe without even knowing
it. That's how quick a person can deviate.
And it starts off by leaving off the
sunnah. It's only a sunnah.
But then it is to what becoming lazy?
You
stop becoming lazy.
And then you put yourself forth to what?
The that
is mentioned in the ayah.
There's a chance of you apostating
So brothers,
when we use the word
it is mandatory.
I can't choose to what?
Believe in I'm
not to believe in I'm
The sunnah is denied in totality.
And a person, he can't be a Muslim
except by believing in the Quran
and also the Sunnah.
Believing in the Quran and also in the
Sunnah.
Just the other day, I got a phone
call.
I got a phone call.
A brother saying to me some guy saying
to us, we don't need the sunnah. We
don't need these hadith. The Quran is sufficient.
Everything is in the Quran. Allah
says,
I haven't neglected anything from the Quran. All
of a sudden in the Quran.
So this guy
is telling one of my friends, ma'am, one
of my friends, the Quran is enough.
Even Allah tells you there's nothing that is
deficient in the Quran.
How does a person know
how to pray
from start to finish? How many Rakah a
person prays if he doesn't know the sunnah?
It comes from
a gen it comes generally in the Quran.
There's no eye in the Quran that tells
you how many a person prays
you have to pray.
Does the Quran tell you how much you
have to pay the?
It doesn't tell you that.
How much you have to pay on 8?
Zakat will fit up. Does the Quran tell
you that? The Quran doesn't tell you that.
So the sunnah,
So the sunnah you had, the teachings of
the prophet that
will clarify the Quran.
That's why the shirah, they all pray the
same command that we pray.
You find they'll come in the masjid, I
showed him a whole night yesterday.
In the university, when I was sitting down
in Masjid, just sitting there, 1 brother walked
in,
and 1 guy walked in, and
you you find him he's praying for maybe
a good 10 minutes,
standing up and down, standing up and down,
going, making a sujood. They do the sujood.
Why? Because the sujood
says,
Oh, you believe?
Oh, you believe? Do the rakah. Do the
rakah and do the sujood. So they'll do
the sujood and they'll do the rakah,
but they won't do
what me
and you do in the. Up and down.
We have to do it from the
is that person he what?
He takes his
time. When he comes to the ruku, he
stays there, attention,
then he comes back up. But that one
is up and down up and down, up
and down. Maybe more than Allah
knows best how many raka'at did they do.
So the whole point is
the whole point is that the sunnah is
mandatory. A person, you can't be a Muslim,
accepted what? Believing in the
Quran.
And also all the matters. How does a
person know about the Adar al Tawba?
It doesn't come clearly in the Quran.
There's no aya,
that
mentions
the
punishment of the grave.
Rather it comes indirectly or you have the
sun experience.
They will be taken back to the the
Hadith, the Hadith in the China. You have
a Hadith.
That explains further.
And how can we know about Hajj?
How can we know about Hajj?
It doesn't say in the Quran that you
have to
mention, do specific the time to stay in
or
how long you have to stay in harafah.
It doesn't mention that in the Quran.
How long do we have? 20 minutes?
20 minutes. Wait.
I don't think we can do the whole
qadr in 20 minutes.
Okay.
Yeah.
But for the for the time being, you
might wanna write this down.
But next week, I'm going to elaborate on
it.
I wanna stop something now and then after
the next week, you know, we cut off
even though it's a deep topic.
I must feel like on the first line.
Like I mentioned before, the structure of it
is very small, but it's very, very deep
in meaning.
So
I'll give you the form
So contemplate upon it, if any questions
pop up on your mind
nah, then inshallah will try to
solve it next week and elaborate on every
single point.
And I'll give a whole dash for another.
So a person, he can't believe in the
another
until he believes in 4 matches,
And I won't give you the proofs and
evidences in the moment
because they take a lot of time.
Right?
The first one,
we have to believe that Allah
knows.
Sorry, Allah
knows
when things are taking place.
And he knew
before it took place.
So he knew before it took place, he
knows that which is taking place now,
and he knows that which is going to
take place.
And if something or what's going to take
place, how this will take place?
Allah
knows what took place.
Allah
knows that which is taking place at the
very moment,
so past, present.
And Allah
knows that which is going to take place.
And if something was going to take place,
how this would take place?
So the first one is what knowledge.
And these points I mentioned, just come under
it.
The
second
every single thing has been written down.
Everything
that takes place, every occurrence that takes space
in has
been written down.
The third
point,
That nothing takes place in this
except that it is by the will of
Allah
Everything from the good and likewise the evil.
So someone might say to themselves,
Allah
wills that a person goes and he apostates
from the religion of Al Islam, or he
goes and what?
Allah who is this?
And the agents will say this to you.
They'll say, if you know now what's that
guy's name?
Jonathan Fry, I think. Yeah. Yeah. His name?
Steven Fry. Steven Fry. Nah. I watched the
video of this, saying what?
How dare you?
How dare you?
He's speaking to Allah. How dare you
allow all this
spilling of the blood, all this killing of
children?
So all the things that take place by
the will of Allah and a lot of
questions are gonna pop up. So the 4th
matter,
matter,
has created everything,
even the actions of what? The creation.
