00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			And there's a few people who are just
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:01
			talking about it.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			If you leave a tenth of what you're
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			being taught, then you can get lost.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			I mean, yawm al-qiyamah, you can find
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			yourself hawa or halak, meaning you won't make
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			it yawm al-qiyamah.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			If you leave a tenth of what you
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			have, or less.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			Usha'ir is even less.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			Qal, wasa ya'ti zamanun.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			ulama'uhu qaleelun wa khutaba'uhu katheerun man
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			tamassaka feehi bi usha'iri ma ya'lam
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			naja.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			And there'll be a time where the scholars
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			who are implementing knowledge and role modeling are
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			few.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			The people who talk about it are many.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			And at that point, if people just get
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			a tenth of what they know, then they'll
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			make it.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			And the wording of Imam Tirmidhi is a
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			little bit more straightforward, where he says, you're
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			out of time.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			If you do, if you leave out ten,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			you're done.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			And another time will come where they just
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			do ten.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			So what does this mean?
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			That I'm, yes, so the headline will be,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Sheikh Adnan says, 10% of Islam is
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			enough, and you don't need to, no.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			What I'm saying is that the Prophet, alayhi
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			salatu wasalam, was identifying, in this narration, this
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			teaching, that as time progresses, as things move
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			forward, depending on the situation, people will have
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			to regress versus progress in different directions regarding
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			how they practice their deen.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			I don't think here he's talking about the
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			tenth as in just any tenth.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			I think what he's explaining, and I talked
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			about this last time, as the Prophet, alayhi
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			salatu wasalam, is saying, if we're in a
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			time where it's comfortable and there's a lot
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			of implementers and there's a lot of role
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			models, then we have to get this, we
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			have to perfect it all.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			And we have to talk about it all.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			And all of it needs to be practiced
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			down to the detail.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			But another time will come where Muslims are
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			struggling, and we don't have as much access
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			to those scholars.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Then you need to go back to the
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			basics.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			Not as in a tenth, any random tenth
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			of Islam, but rather regressing back to the
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			basics of Islam, to hold on to the
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			fundamentals of the faith.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			You need to hold on to that tenth,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			because a tenth of Islam, really, if you
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			think about it, is really what you're going
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			to be heavily held accountable for Yawm al
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:01
			-Qiyamah.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			Like the fara'id, the obligatories, everything that
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			is mandatory for you in Islam to believe
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			or to do, they only add up to
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			maybe 10% of what the whole faith
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			is.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			Think about everything that was written about Islam.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			Think about all of the books of fiqh
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			and seerah and tazkih, all these books.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			Wallahi, we have probably the largest religious maktaba
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			in the world, hundreds of thousands of books
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			each book can be multiple volumes written.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			The mandatory aspect of Islam is very small,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			very simple.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			Sometimes you have to go back to the
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			basics.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			What are the basic principles?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			What are the basic values?
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			What do I need to absolutely not leave?
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			And then if we all do that, and
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			we start from that 10%, then we're able,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			I don't think we're even close to that.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			We're not even remotely close to that time,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			by the way.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			We're way far away.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			We still, as Muslims across the globe, agree
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			on over 92% of what Islam is.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			Over 92% of Islam is agreed upon
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			amongst Muslims all across.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			We just, there's 8% between fiqh and
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			aqidah that people disagree upon.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			But it's easy to emphasize that 8%, especially
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			when the intentions aren't clear and people are
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			struggling.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			It's easy to emphasize something that's very peripheral
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			and the common ground is huge.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			But a time will come, as he's explaining,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			alaihi salam, where that common ground may decrease,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			then you need to hold on to that
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			basics.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			As he said last time, holding on, just
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			hold on to the common ground you're standing
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			on, hold on to it, because that's how
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			you're going to make it.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			And back then, when he was around, alaihi
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			salam, they didn't need to do that.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:31
			He was there.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			The sahaba were scholars.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			They were implementing Islam.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			You had no excuse.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			You had no excuse not to excel at
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			this because you were surrounded by people who,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			just looking at their faces, it fixes something
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			wrong inside of you.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			Just looking at their faces, just sitting beside
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			them, you're going to walk away with benefit
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			from them.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			And I think there's something there for us
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			all to reflect upon in times of difficulty.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			Always know what you recline upon.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			Recline upon those fundamentals, those principles, those values,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			those basics.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			Hold on to them and make sure everyone
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			does as well.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			And that's how we save ourselves and save
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			what's left of our ummah.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:11
			I hope that was a benefit to you.
