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