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.
