00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			And Khabir and Imam Bazar and his Mustad,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			prayed to us by Ibn Abbas and Abu
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			Huraira. And each book has a different narrator
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			and has a reasonable chain of narration. And
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			this is a series with, within the series
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			of humbleness is what I'm I'm covering. Before
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			I do that, just as a since it
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			came up, might as well point it out
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			now earlier than later. So as we move
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			along,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			if you have a phone
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			if you have a phone, and if you
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			happen to have an app on the phone
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			that gives you,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			you're gonna find that Isha is going to
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			be later,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			than what you pray here.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			So 10 years ago no. 11 years ago
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			now, when I came to London, I came
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			in middle of July, and it was
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			Ramadan. And I went to pray, and I
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			found that they were doing, Isha at 11:30,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			So I thought it was insane. I thought
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			it was great. It's completely crazy. So I
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			I I play I prayed that year and
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			the year after at home. Like, I did
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			my it'll be my parents at home. And
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			then the year after that, when I went
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			went to LMM, I requested,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			from
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			and and a few others to go out
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			and see if they can take a look
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			at the shafak. So Isha, unlike
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			and maybe
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			is a little bit more
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			subjective, a little bit more subjective.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			The is you you have the thing in
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			the middle of the once once there's no,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			there's and also it's just a matter of
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			whether you're a Hanafi or not and how
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			long is it the same length or twice
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			the length? Very simple. Very objective.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Once the the the the the sun dips
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			under the horizon, we're done. I shot in
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			special, they're a little bit more objective. It's
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			all based on a color that's going to
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			the first, you know, beam of light or
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			a light with a certain color they're gonna
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			see in the horizon. So it's not as
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			objective. There's some subjectivity to it. So I
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			asked them to go take a look and
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			so they went and they assessed it again.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			And they assessed it and they used different
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			angles. And And they kept on using different
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			angles that were permissible until they found something
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			that allowed Maghre al Isha to be as
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			early as possible within this country within within.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			And it wasn't for the fact that I
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			was scared that people would, Yani,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			flip and lose their minds. I am actually
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			a fan of, of of being much more
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			aggressive than that. In in countries that are
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			in the northern hemisphere, where during the the,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			yeah, I mean, the summer years, you have
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			Isha that go the the the time between
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			Isha and Fajr is significantly short to the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			point where there's no night.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			Is very reasonable alternative. It's very reasonable. At
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			some point in my life before I I
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			die, I'll probably do the and die so
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			that people can just, you know, curse me
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			in my death and then and then hopefully
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			people can do it and benefit from it.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			Because honestly, this is what is needed in
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			these types of work. This is fatwa actually
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			that was that was given out 33 years
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			ago
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			by,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			to people who were living at the time
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			in Germany. This is 33 years ago, way
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			before there was any jali Muslim jali in
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			any country that it was at least of
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			numbers. And they sent it a question saying
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			that Isha is 10:30
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			and Fajr is 4:30.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			And of course, to for the Middle Eastern
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			people, that is insane because that's the at
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			least 2 hours difference in terms of of
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			day and night, and they were given the
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			fatwa to pray together. And this is fatwa
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			that that is online. You can take a
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			look at it. But I'm not gonna go
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			that far, at least not this year. But
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			I'm at least gonna stick to the earlier
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			issue that the shulk were able to, yeah,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			establish from looking at the horizon. So it's
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			nothing we're not breaking any law. We just
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			look from different angles. So if you change
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			if you go to your app and you
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			change the,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			what school of thought you're using to figure
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			out Isha, you'll find one that follows to
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			almost follows what we're doing with maybe a
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			a day a minute or two difference towards
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			the end of the latest isha goes here
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			is 10:39.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			When I came here, it was 11:30
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			in July,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			which is yeah. And you I just thought
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			that was nuts. So 10:39 is there. And
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			I still think think 10:39 is very, very
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			late, but I I think it's better than
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			11:30.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			And so so that means that if you
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			come for a shot here, you have to
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			silence your phone
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			or else I'll lose my mind by the
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			end of the summer. You have to silence
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			the phones so that we don't have 50,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			mobiles going off with Adan Isha in the
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			middle of salah. And it may not happen
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			for other messiah, for us it will for
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			sure happen. So when you come for Asia
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			and just make sure you silence your poem
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			before
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			and then silence it afterwards just so that
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			we don't end up listening to the all
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			these beautiful events happening while the imam is
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			trying to recite a surah or we're trying
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			to perform our salah. Alright. So the hadith
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			narrated by and
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			and within the, within the, theme of humbleness.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			It's a really nice hadith. I don't know
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			if you've heard it before or not, but
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			if you haven't, you'll enjoy it. This is
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			what he said
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			So
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			the prophet alaihi wa sallam said that every
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			human being within his head, there's a certain
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			amount of wisdom.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			That wisdom is held by one of the
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. By the authority
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he he when
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			the carries that hikma. If that
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			person shows humbleness, Allah says increase his his
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			hikma.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			Increase his wisdom. And if this person becomes
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			arrogant, he says take away his take away
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			his his
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			his so this hadith
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			is interesting because it makes an association. The
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			prophet says it associates 2 things. He associates
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			humbleness
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			with wisdom.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			Humbleness and arrogance with wisdom.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			That the more humble you are, the more
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			likely it is that you're going to be
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			able to
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			gain wisdom,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			have wisdom, and speak wisdom. And the more
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			arrogant you are, the less likely it is
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			you're going to be able to do that.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			And this is a very simple law. If
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			you are humble, you will learn more.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			Because you see people around you as sources
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			of knowledge. You see people around you as
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			walking experiences.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			People who are gems who have something to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			offer. If you're humble enough, you'll listen to
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			them. And if you listen to them, you'll
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			learn something from them. And that will increase
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			your wisdom. And if you're arrogant, you see
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			people as
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			something different.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			As, you see them with a with a
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			in a different lens and you don't see
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			them as people who have anything to offer
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			you. If anything, they're they're, you know, they're
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			bothering you with their existence altogether. They're ignorant
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			and they know nothing and they don't so
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			you're not willing to listen to learn nothing
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			so your wisdom decreases. So even if you
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			take it outside of your metaphysical and you
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			just think about it logically this makes sense.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			But this is what the prophet alaihis salatu
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			wa sallam tells us.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			Every human being has wisdom,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:54
			but it's held.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			And based on how much humbleness
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			or there is more of it will be
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			given or more of it will be taken
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			away. And this is just a reminder for
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			us that, yeah, in tawadua, not only and
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			and humbleness is not only something that is
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			it's not just realizing reality and living by
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			it, but it's also going to offer you
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			in life,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			limits. It is going to it's going to
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			remove a lot of limits for you. You
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			don't we don't realize that. That being truly
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			humble lifts
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			limits. It removes barriers for us. Because we
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			don't want to do it. The next doesn't
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			wanna do it. The next likes to be
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			arrogant because it thinks by being arrogant, it
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			is on top. He doesn't understand that once
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			you humble yourself,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			the limits of knowledge and the limits of
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			the limits of of almost everything become become
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			infinite. And and that's what the prophet here
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			is in a very simple and beautiful way
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			to explain to us.
