You're listening to the Roja daily guidance for

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

seekers with Sheikh Rasra Benny.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

In our sessions

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

of the Roha,

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

we have been looking

00:00:33 --> 00:00:33

at the

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

the work of

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

Imam

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

Al Ghazali, which is his counsel

00:00:45 --> 00:00:45

to

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

a a dear student of his

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

and

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

we've reached right at the end.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

Imam Al Ghazali advises his student at the

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

end after giving him

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

4 keys

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

to 4 things to avoid

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

and 4 things

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

to do.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:11

He closes

00:01:13 --> 00:01:13

by saying,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

my dear child.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

I have written in this section

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

what

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

you have sought.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

Right? In this fossil

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

fossil can refer to section, but also in

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

this,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

you know, in this,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

like, in this tome.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

Right? In this

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

group of things that I mentioned.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

So it is incumbent upon you to act

00:01:49 --> 00:01:49

upon these.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

Right? Because

00:01:53 --> 00:01:53

knowledge

00:01:54 --> 00:01:54

bears

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

knowledge is a trust and it bears responsibility.

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

So now that you know,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

you must act accordingly.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

As the prophet

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

reported to have said

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

to

00:02:08 --> 00:02:08

to Al Haritha,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

right, whom he asked

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

you know, how are you this morning, oh

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

oh Haritha? And he mentioned

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

the the the state of certitude that he

00:02:20 --> 00:02:20

was in,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

the prophet reported have said to him,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

that you have you you you you you

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

have come to know

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

so hold fast to that.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

And he says,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

he said, don't forget me

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

when it comes to mentioning me in your

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

righteous dua.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:47

Because

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

one of the the rights

00:02:51 --> 00:02:51

of

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

a parent

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

over a child

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

is that they pray for 1.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

That that that that child pray for their

00:03:00 --> 00:03:00

parents.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

Likewise,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

as we see in the Quran.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

And anyone who does good for you,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:09

you

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

you must

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

acknowledge

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

that good

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15

with gratitude.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

And the gratitude is not just by saying

00:03:19 --> 00:03:19

thanks,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

but the gratitude must have they have benefited

00:03:23 --> 00:03:23

you

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

in the next life.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

So how do you benefit them in the

00:03:28 --> 00:03:28

next life?

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

By one of the ways is by Dua.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

Right?

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

So don't forget me in your Dua.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:37

And

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

the his the student had asked

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

for a closing Dua

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

as well.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

As for the dua that you have sought

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01

from me,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

As for the dua that you sought from

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

me, seek it in the

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

authentically established duas,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

meaning of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

Right?

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

Reminding always

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

that

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

you need that there's a basic principle

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

which is

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

that one always give precedence over

00:04:30 --> 00:04:30

the

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

the the

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

the the the the first principle

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

over derivative

00:04:38 --> 00:04:38

matters.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

Right? So the person asked for dua. The

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

first thing is if you want if you

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

want dua, the first thing is hold fast

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

to the dua of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

wa sallam.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52

But number 2, the dua the the teachings

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

respect to dua also teach us

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

to make du'a for others and to seek

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

du'a from others.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

So much so that the prophet said

00:05:03 --> 00:05:03

to

00:05:04 --> 00:05:04

Sayyidina,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:05

Umar

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

my dear brother,

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

don't forget me in your dua when Sayyidina

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

Umar was going to go on a journey.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

And he said nothing made me more happy

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

since I became Muslim than that request of

00:05:19 --> 00:05:19

the prophet

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

But he

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

said

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

recite this dua in all your in your

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

times, meaning in the special times.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:36

Particularly

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

after

00:05:39 --> 00:05:39

your

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

prayers,

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

after the obligatory prayers. And

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

is the end of something, which is what

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

is the in the of the foot?

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

The heel. This is the end of it.

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

Right?

00:06:00 --> 00:06:00

And the Dua,

00:06:01 --> 00:06:01

right,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

that Imam Al Ghazali closes with

00:06:05 --> 00:06:06

He

00:06:08 --> 00:06:08

says,

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

Allah Oh Allah, I ask you of blessing

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

its entirety.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

And of protection,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

it's it's continual.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

Meaning, and of put in and of protection,

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

I seek from you continual

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

protection.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

And isma

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

refers to 2 things.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

Isma, it means to

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

means to protect.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

And there is protection which is to be

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

shielded

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

from sin.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

Right, which is what,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

it's,

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

you know,

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

there's duas of the prophet

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

and of the salaf that ask Allah

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

for isma,

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

for protection.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

Meaning, to be shielded

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

from sin.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

With the possibility

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

still existing of sinning because you are

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

a potentially sinful

00:07:16 --> 00:07:16

person.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

But ISMA

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

is also used

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

with respect to the prophets

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

in an at a higher level, which is

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

to be shielded

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

from sin

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

such that it is not possible

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

for sin to occur

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

for you.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

Right?

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

So that that ishmmah, the the

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

the the the the the

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

protectedness

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

of sin from the prophets

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

is to be shielded from sin

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

with the removal of the possibility of sinning

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

from them.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

So it's a higher degree of protection.

00:07:56 --> 00:07:56

Right?

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

Right? It's an HDP.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

Right?

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

And this is discussed by ma'am Zaruk, for

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

example, because one of the critiques

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

that certain certain

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

scholars made of the

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

of

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

Imam

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

that he asked for

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

We ask you for protection.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

But it's just meant to be shielded

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

from sin

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

and from harm. Being shielded

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

is not just from sin but also from

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

harm, from all that

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

is not good for us with the possibility

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

remaining of our human weakness, which is why

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

we're asking to be shielded.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

And of mercy,

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

enveloping mercy,

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

and of well-being,

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

which is to be free of harm,

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

it's attainment.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:57

And the prophet

00:08:58 --> 00:08:58

said

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

ask Allah for well-being. And he said

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

in words that are pertinent for us to

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

reflect upon

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

ask Allah for certitude

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

and well-being.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

Right?

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

And of course, they're they're taking the means

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

for their attainment.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:19

And

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

from

00:09:24 --> 00:09:25

from livelihood,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:26

it's most

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

pleasing and pleasant.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:32

And of life

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

and of lifetime,

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

it's most felicitous.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

Right?

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

And from excellence,

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

it's most complete.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

Right?

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

From excellence, it's most complete.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

Because we're not responsible

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

for perfection,

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

for Itan.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:56

Right?

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

We're not responsible for for camel. We're not

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

responsible for perfection itself.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:05

What is is

00:10:09 --> 00:10:10

to strive

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

to make something good.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

It is the act of striving

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

for

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

taking something,

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

the the the meaning of good, virtue, and

00:10:23 --> 00:10:23

beauty

00:10:24 --> 00:10:24

with respect

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

to another.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

They strived

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33

for excellence in their worship. The worship could

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

could have the resultant worship could still be

00:10:36 --> 00:10:36

mediocre.

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

But is

00:10:39 --> 00:10:39

the striving

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

for

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

for true good.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

Right?

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

And of

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

you know, for of excellence, meaning of the

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

sincere and genuine striving for good, it's most

00:10:53 --> 00:10:53

complete.

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

And of

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

the bestowal of blessings, it's most encompassing.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

And of

00:11:09 --> 00:11:09

bounty

00:11:10 --> 00:11:11

or virtue,

00:11:11 --> 00:11:12

it's

00:11:14 --> 00:11:14

purest.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

And of subtle graces,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

the closest of them. I'm meaning for them

00:11:23 --> 00:11:23

to

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

to for the subtle divine graces

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

to touch 1

00:11:29 --> 00:11:29

directly.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

Oh, Allah be for us and do not

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

be against us.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

Allah seal

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

with felicity

00:11:46 --> 00:11:46

our,

00:11:48 --> 00:11:48

lifespans.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

And realize

00:11:55 --> 00:11:55

with increase

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

our

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

hopes and aspirations.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

And connect

00:12:06 --> 00:12:06

with well-being

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

are

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

mornings and nights.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:16

And make

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

to your mercy

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

And our ends.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

And pour forth

00:12:29 --> 00:12:29

from

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

the from the

00:12:32 --> 00:12:32

treasures

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

pardon

00:12:38 --> 00:12:38

upon

00:12:40 --> 00:12:40

our sins.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

And reward us

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

by rectifying

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

our faults.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

And make

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03

mindfulness of you our provision

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala describes it as

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

being

00:13:07 --> 00:13:07

the

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

k. The the best of provisions.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

And zed is the provision on a journey.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

And in your religion,

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

Oh, Allah make us firm

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

on the way

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

of uprightness.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:44

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

the things that cause remorse.

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

On the day of resurrection.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

Enlighten for us the burdens

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

00:14:13 --> 00:14:14

And

00:14:14 --> 00:14:15

grant us

00:14:17 --> 00:14:18

the living

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

And be

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

00:14:48 --> 00:14:48

of evildoers.

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

And free our necks and the necks of

00:15:00 --> 00:15:01

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

And our mothers

00:15:05 --> 00:15:05

and our teachers

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

By your mercy,

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

00:15:14 --> 00:15:15

oh most forgiving.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:19

Oh, most forbearance,

00:15:26 --> 00:15:26

00:15:37 --> 00:15:41

Oh, compassionate. Oh, compassionate. Oh, compassionate. Oh, most

00:15:41 --> 00:15:44

merciful of those who show

00:15:48 --> 00:15:48

mercy. Or first

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

or absolutely first.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

Or absolutely last.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:00

Oh oh you who possess

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

perfect power.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

Oh one who deeply cares

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

for

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

those in

00:16:12 --> 00:16:12

in distress.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

And o you who are the most merciful

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

of the merciful.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

There is no god but you.

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

Glory be to you.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

Truly I have been of those who have

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

wronged

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

myself.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:35

Muhammad

00:16:36 --> 00:16:39

and all blessings be upon our master Muhammad

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

and his folk and

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

his companions.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:46

All of them.

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

And all praises due to Allah.

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

Lord of the worlds. So that is Imam

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

Al Ghazali's,

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

Ayuh Al Waled.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

That completes

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

what we you know, what we had begun

00:17:00 --> 00:17:03

of this amazing work in which is a

00:17:03 --> 00:17:03

reminder

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

of the importance of

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

acting on guidance.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

For the guidance for the knowledge that one

00:17:11 --> 00:17:11

acquires

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

to be guidance and to be

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

steps on the straight path

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

rather than for it to be a case

00:17:21 --> 00:17:21

against us.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

And to be aware

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

of the need

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

to act not just outwardly with one's knowledge,

00:17:29 --> 00:17:30

but for that knowledge

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

to

00:17:33 --> 00:17:33

permeate

00:17:34 --> 00:17:34

into

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

our hearts,

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

our motives,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

our intentions,

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

our states,

00:17:42 --> 00:17:42

our attitude,

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

our character, and our conduct.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:48

And

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

this is an important reminder

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

and much can much could be said in

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

summary of this reminder, but wanted to show

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

one of the really notable scholars of North

00:18:00 --> 00:18:00

America.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

I took a few students

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

to him to ask

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

him to give them advice.

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

And he said, whenever

00:18:13 --> 00:18:14

I whenever

00:18:15 --> 00:18:15

I

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

feel that my heart is hard or I

00:18:18 --> 00:18:19

feel that I need

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

to remind myself of my relationship with Allah,

00:18:23 --> 00:18:23

I

00:18:24 --> 00:18:27

reread and ref I read and reflect upon

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

the treatise of

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

imam Al Ghazali, letter to a disciple because

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34

it contains

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

such deep and comprehensive

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

yet brief

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

counsel

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

for anyone who's serious about rectifying

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

their relationship with Allah

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

So this is a beautiful treatise. We ask

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

Allah

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

for steadfastness

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

on this path.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

As of next Monday, on Mondays Wednesdays, we'll

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

be beginning

00:18:59 --> 00:19:00

one of the great

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

works of Islam.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

Imam Anawi's

00:19:09 --> 00:19:09

brilliant

00:19:10 --> 00:19:11

compendium of prophetic guidance,

00:19:14 --> 00:19:15

the gardens of the righteous,

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

and we will share

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

a road map of how we'll be covering

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

it. We'll be covering it

00:19:22 --> 00:19:23

for

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

twice a week for 45 minutes,

00:19:28 --> 00:19:29

and it's an important

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

it's it's one of the great works of

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

Islam. And it's one of the greatest works

00:19:34 --> 00:19:36

in Islam, one of the greatest compendiums of

00:19:36 --> 00:19:37

Islamic spirituality.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

So when I asked that

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

what is

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

what is,

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

what is a manual

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

for for Adab on this on the spiritual

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

path said,

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

the garden of the righteous.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

Right?

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

Just as when he was asked and then

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

he said and the and the lived example

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

of that is

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

is the lives of the companions. That's how

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

they lived. You know, on the living models

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

of how to live prophetic guidance, it's

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

But we're going to be looking at that

00:20:10 --> 00:20:10

exclusively

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

twice a week.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

And we'll we'll share details about that

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

We ask

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

Allah that he make what we have covered

00:20:21 --> 00:20:22

in this

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

series of the of the

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

to be of benefit and to benefit us

00:20:26 --> 00:20:29

from what we have gained and shared

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

and to grant us a to review the

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

lessons of what we have looked at. And

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

over

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

the over

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

the the last year or so, we have

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

looked in the sessions

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

at several 100 hadith of the prophet we've

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

covered several sets of 40 hadiths,

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

and we also looked at Talim al Muta'alim

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

of, the

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

the instruction of the student on the ways

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

of learning by Imam Azar Nuzzi and we

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

completed it. And we also completed

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

Imam Al Ghazali's

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

Ayuhal Waled,

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

2 of the great

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

guiding works for students of knowledge.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

We ask Allah that he realize this in

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

their realities and make what we have gained

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

of prophetic guidance

00:21:14 --> 00:21:15

and counsels for

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

seekers of knowledge to be approved for us

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

and not approved against us.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
