I wanna jump to something now, which is
spoken a bit about Egypt, spoke about the
just speak about Medina.
You're a graduate of the Islamic University of
Medina from the faculty of Hadith.
I know. Are you sure?
Why not Hadith?
You went to a match. The match is
is is is molten. It's Hadith. It's a
place of Hadith. Alright? You've gone to the
Jammie, you've gone to Sharia. Why? Why didn't
you go to hadith? Okay. I sought advice
from many. Yeah. Right?
And you know everyone's always going to be
like,
have that sort of a task for what
they studied and what they studied. Right? Which
is perfectly normal and fine.
I remember I consulted the Masha'a Salihman. Yeah.
Of course, they'll say go to Kuwait a
Hadith, because that's what their studies revolved around
mainly, right? I
remember I saw advice from Shafa El Hashmi.
Yeah. Shafa El Hashmi.
Yeah. We used to come back and forth.
And,
I remember also,
I believe it was
Yeah.
They all said to me, go to. Yeah.
Right? Even though is a
professor in Aqida. Yeah.
And and the reason that they would normally
state was this is,
the mother of all faculties, which is very,
very true. On a side note, I asked
Sheikh Abdul Musin about the same question. He
said and he's at the of Madinah. What
did he say? Sharia. He was teaching Sharia.
He teaches Sharia. Yeah. Yeah. He teaches Sharia.
He's still teaching Sharia. SubhanAllah.
Even though he's retired Yeah. He can just
retire. Right? Yeah. And not come to the
university. He still just goes and teaches. Yeah.
He's he's a different level when it comes
to, consistency in teaching 6 days a week
without missing days and stuff like that. Yeah.
So go I'm also, dropping a voice note
to Muftam Hamunir. Yeah.
And I'm Graduate from the faculty of Hadith.
Yeah.
I remember he sent me 9 voice notes.
Yeah. Why should I go Hadith? Why should
I Point 1, point 2, point 3. I
literally just going on because he said I
know you have seen Yeah. This you're a
very hadithy guy. Yeah. I'm going to hadith.
I still remember it and I appreciate that.
Send me 9 voice notes. I
was like taken aback like, oh, 9 voice
notes. Yeah.
Right? And he's very passionate about hadith, you
know. He's
a disciple.
Okay. I was, like, very convinced I'm gonna
go to hadith.
And until I ran into
at the time,
this was back in 2015, doctor.
Yeah.
Another hadith graduate? He's a hadith graduate. And
a PhD holder as well. Yeah. And a
Fida from Jami as well. Yeah.
And he said to me, if I could
go back, I would do Sharia.
And I advised you to go into Sharia.
I said to him why?
He said the subjects that you study in
Sharia
is much more difficult to find outside of
the Jamilah. Yeah.
Right?
And he said that when you study in
hadith, you can find it inshallah to Allah.
Yeah. Outside.
Based on his opinion.
And when he said that to me with
all the different advices that I received,
I just basically went with that, done it's
the hard up, and it was the best
thing for me. Alhamdulillah. Right? Because when I
was in, in Yemen we started a lot
of Mustal hadith, right?
And I remember when I came back, I
did teach Beit Haniyah, even taught Tethkara to,
Tethkara Limonakim.
Yeah. Right? And then I was gonna go
on to Nochaba, I fikr. Or what was
in the principles of hadith, science of hadith,
right? Yeah. And you realize like, the sun
doesn't necessarily even need that. Yeah. Yeah. Right?
And
a lot of the questions that people ask
you, and that which people need is mainly
aqeda And fiqh. And fiqh. Yeah. 100%. Yeah.
And, when you're going to Kuwaiti Hadid, you'll
be spending
a lot of time. The time that you
spend doing usun al fiqh, which you really
really need. Yeah. As somebody who's going back
to the west, you'll be spending,
doing Mustafa. Mustafa Hadith. Yeah. To the Dhadrib
ur Rahwe. Yeah. Right? And I think most
brothers, even those who have graduated from Hadith,
they would agree with that. Yeah. And if
you're not continuously practicing,
what you studied in hadith, it's just going
to Yeah. Any subject, you're gonna lose it,
you're gonna forget it. When we talk about
Musa, we're not speaking about
is the Is the understanding of hadith I
said for you. That's yeah. We're not speaking
about that. We're speaking more about
the tools that you need,
to check the settings. Check the settings. Yeah.
Yeah. You have Sheikh Albani. You have Arnaud.
You have Sheikh Momen. Yeah. I've done a
lot of the checking for you. Yeah. And
you coming back, you you're going to be
so busy Yeah.
You are definitely in need of Al Fiqh
Yeah. And the because there's so many doubts
that people have. I won't say that it
shouldn't necessarily just be, you know, the issues
pertaining to.
We're talking about also issues related to atheism.
Yeah. Contemporary issues. Yeah. I mean, contemporary issues
which one should give a lot of time
to. Yep. And also is very important as
well. Yeah. Because we have the enemies of
Islam who are always trying to find holes
and contradictions
in the Sharia. And also gives you the
tools to be able to reconcile between evidence
and to put things in the proper Yeah.
Context and perspective.
I remember my sheikh one time said to
me, Sheikh Mohammed Karim that I believe it
was.
Yeah. Because my mother is alive, right? Yeah.
Yeah. That's
So what also does, it protects the Sharia
Yeah. From the thieves. Yeah. Any of these,
these orientalists and Yeah. These enemies of Islam.
That's exactly true. Yeah. Very, very true. I
mean, I think in the early days of
the, let's say, the Salafi Dao in the
UK, what was missing, in my opinion, is
a lack of being able to understand or
sort and apply that to the text. Yeah.
That's why we made
certain brothers extremely narrow minded. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So we have so we have, for example,
there was always a backwards and forwards between
the the students in, Hadith and
in Sharia as well. The public still goes
on now for 2 degrees. With that, like,
you know, the Hadith,
they you can see the the like, as
a whole, they seem much more serious Yeah.
Than the ones in Sharia. Yeah. But I
feel like you know the the scale is
tipping now because a lot of them, a
lot of the westerners are now going there.
Yeah. A lot of,
even now the Arabs they've started going into
Sharia
because of it, you know, covering a wide
range of subjects. Yeah. Hadith
they memorize. Yeah. Right? They
I remember Sheikh Mohammed Timhambo, he said to
me that,
Is he a Hadith graduate as well? Yeah.
Hadith graduate. Yeah. That he he memorized
the
Yeah. Right?
He memorized the However, there's a way around
it. He memorized
the word
Yeah. That's it. You know? Yeah, the way
around it.
