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

Today we continue,

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

our Ramadan

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

late night majlis

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

with, a second reading

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

from

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

the

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

May Allah

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

have mercy on him and increase his rank.

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

The heirs of the prophets, a

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

commentary on the hadith of Abu Darda, which

00:00:52 --> 00:00:52

we

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

read last time.

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

And it bears reading again. We can read

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

the English

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

translation of it again so that a person

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

can familiarize themselves with it because

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

repetition,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

makes things firm inside the heart.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

A man came to Abu Darda while he

00:01:09 --> 00:01:09

was in Damascus.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

Abu Darda asked him, what has brought you

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

here, my brother?

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

He replied, a hadith which you relate from

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

Abu Darda asked him, have you come for

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

some worldly need? He replied,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

no. Have you come for business? He replied,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

no.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

Have you come only to seek this hadith?

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

He said, yes.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

Abu Darda radiallahu anhu then said, I heard

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

the messenger of Allah sallallahu

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

alaihi wa sallam say,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

whoever travels a path seeking sacred knowledge, meaning

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

seeking

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

knowledge, seeking eilm in the original Arabic.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

Allah will place him on a path leading

00:01:47 --> 00:01:47

to paradise.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

The angels lower their wings for the student

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

of knowledge, pleased with what he is doing.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

The creatures in the heavens and earth see

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

forgiveness for this student of knowledge. The creatures

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

in the heavens and earth seek forgiveness for

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

the student of knowledge,

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

even the fish in the water.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

The superiority of the religious scholar

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

over the devout worshiper is like the superiority

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

of the full moon over the other heavenly

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

bodies.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

The scholars are the heirs of the prophets.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

The prophets leave behind no gold nor silver

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

as a bequest.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

Rather, they leave behind knowledge, and whoever seizes

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

it has taken a bountiful share.

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

Narrated by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud and

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

Tirmidi and Ibnu Majab.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

So we continue from,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

the beginning of

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

Ibn Rajab's

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

commentary.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

He says a striking example of this sort

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

of journey is what Allah relates in the

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

Quran about Musa

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

with his young companion.

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

If there ever existed a person who needed

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

not to travel to seek knowledge, it was

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

said that Musa

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

for Allah had spoken to him and given

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

him the Torah in which all divine principles

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

had been revealed.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

Still, when Allah informed him of a man

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

named Khidr who had been favored with knowledge,

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

Musa alaihis salam inquired about meeting him and

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

then set out with his young companion to

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

find this as Allah the exalted had said.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

And behold, Moses said to his young companion,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

I will not cease until I reach where

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

the 2 seas meet, or I shall spend

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

an exceptionally long time traveling.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

So this is

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

a story related in,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

in, Surat Surat Al Kahf, which hopefully everyone

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

read today because,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

you know, it's a protection. It's recitation on

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

is a protection from fitna, from torment and

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

tribulation,

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

in which,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

there are is no shortage

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

in this age, in the era, in the

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

days we're living in. There's no shortage of

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

those things. And it's also protection from the

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

the fitna and the tribulation of the dajjal.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

Allah protect us, and it seems that every

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

day brings us closer and closer to

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

to his

00:03:55 --> 00:03:55

manifestation

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

amongst the creation. May Allah protect us.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

So this young man who

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

traveled with, Sayidina Musa, alayhis salam, the Mufasirun

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

said, Yusha bin Noon,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

the Nabi,

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

Joshua,

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

who was the Khalifa of Sayidimusa Alaihi Salam

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

in Banu

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

Israel and,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:16

who,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

was from amongst the people, in Banu Israel,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

the few people who didn't,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

disobey Allah's commands

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

at a number of pertinent places. Insha'Allah, you

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

can read the tafsir of Surah Al Baqarah,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

Insha'Allah, for more details. Surah Al Ma'ida.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

So he says that, and behold, Moses said

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

to his young companion, I will not cease

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

until I reach where the 2 seas meet,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

or I shall spend an exceptionally long time

00:04:41 --> 00:04:41

traveling.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

Allah then informs us that upon

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

Musa asked of him, may I follow you

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

in order that you may teach me of

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

the knowledge you have been given?

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

Details of their venture are related in the

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

book of Allah and the well known hadith

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

of Ubay bin Kaab, which is related by

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

Bukhari and Muslim.

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

Ibn Umas'ud

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

used to say,

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

I swear to Allah or I swear by

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

Allah besides whom there is no other

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

deity worthy of worship. No chapter of the

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

Quran has been revealed except for I know

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

where it was revealed.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

No verse of the book of Allah has

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

been revealed except for I know why it

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

was revealed. Yet if I knew of anyone

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

more learned than me in the book of

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

Allah, I would make every effort to reach

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

him.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

So you see this beautiful quality is there

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

in Abdullah ibn Mas'ud

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

and

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

he,

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

he informs the people of it. This is

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

a quality that he obviously picked

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

from

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

the values of the Quran and from the

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

instruction of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

wa sallam.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

Abu Darda radiallahu anhu said,

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

If I were unable to explain a verse

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

in the book of Allah and could not

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

find anyone to explain it to me except

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

for a man in Barkal HImad, I would

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

journey to him.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

Barkal HImad is the furthest corner of Yemen.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

Masruk, who was a a great, sheikh of

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

the, Tabi'in.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

Masruk literally means stolen.

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

And just so you know,

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

he received this nickname because he stole something

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

as a kid.

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

So, you know, if you're not a 100%

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

perfect,

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

you still there's still time to make up

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

and and and be a good person,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

because the perfected ones, all of them started

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

from somewhere.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

Masruk went to Kufa or went from Kufa

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

to Basra to ask a man about a

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

Quranic verse. He failed, however, to find him,

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

knowledge about the verse. But whilst there, he

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

was informed of a knowledgeable man in Syria.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

He then returned to Kufa, from which point

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

he set out to Syria to seek knowledge

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

of the verse.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

And Masuruk is a great imam of the

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

Tabireen.

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

A man traveled from Kufa to Syria to

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

ask about Darda about the validity of an

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

oath he had taken.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

Also, Saeed bin Jubaer, one of the great

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

students of, Abdullah bin Abbas

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

traveled from Kufa to Mecca to ask Ibn

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

Abbas about the explanation of a single verse

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

of the Quran.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

Al Hassan al Basri traveled from Kufa,

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

to ask Ka'abin,

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

Urjira

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

about the atonement,

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

for,

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

al Abha,

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

during the pilgrimage.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:17

A thorough exposition of this issue, traveling to

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

seek knowledge,

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

would be exceedingly lengthy.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

To further illustrate this practice,

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

a man took an oath, the validity of

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

which the jurists were unsure of. When he

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

was directed to a man in a distant

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

land, it was said to him, that land

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

is near for anyone concerned about his religion.

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

When a person made a oath and they

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

had a question about it,

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

they said go to that place to find

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

out the answer.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

And when when it was pointed out that

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

that place is really far away, what did

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

they say? That place is far away. It

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

may look far away to someone, but someone

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

who's

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

who's concerned with their dean, for that person,

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

it's close.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

This saying offers profound advice for one who

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

concerns himself with his deen as much as

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

he concerns himself with his worldly affairs.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02

Now like I said, the, you know, the

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

very lengthy preamble yesterday hopefully, our our nightly

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

majalis are not gonna be that long. But

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

the lengthy preamble that that we tied yesterday,

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

the point of it was to

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

illustrate the chasm between different classes of people

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

of the ummah, all of whom ostensibly have

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

good intentions and wish good by the Ummah,

00:08:21 --> 00:08:22

the prophet and

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

to perhaps find some sort of

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

common ground. If they can't find common ground

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

about how to think,

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

then to find some common ground on what

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

to think. If they can't find common ground

00:08:35 --> 00:08:36

on what to think,

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

maybe they can find some common ground on

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

how to learn.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

And this is something that whether or not,

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

you know, you believe that contagion exists or

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

whether or not, you believe the Masjid should

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

be open or closed or whether or not

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

you believe that the masjid is an essential

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

service or whatever. This is something we can

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

all agree upon that a sign of someone's

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

seriousness in their din is that they take

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

their deen at least as,

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

seriously as they take their dunya. Although,

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

all of us should be able to agree

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

that the way of Islam is to take

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

your deen even more seriously than your your

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

your, material,

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

well-being,

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

and, you know, here we are.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

This saying offers profound advice for the one

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

who concerns his himself with his religion as

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

much as he concerns himself with his worldly

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

affairs.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23

If something happens involving his religion and he

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

finds no one to ask except for a

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

person in a far off land, he would

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

not hesitate to travel to him in order

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

to save his religion.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

Similarly,

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34

if an opportunity were presented to him for

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

some worldly gain,

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

in a distant land, he would hasten to

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

it.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

In the hadith under discussion, Abu Darda radiallahu

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

anhu gave glad tidings to the person who

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

traveled to him seeking a hadith he had

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

heard from the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam regarding

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

the virtue of knowledge.

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

This is consistent with the Quran.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

In which we read, when those believing in

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

our signs come to you say, peace be

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01

upon you. Your lord has made mercy incumbent

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

upon himself.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

Similarly, once a group of students crowded around

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

Al Hasan al Basri and his son then

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

spoke harshly to them.

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

Hassan said, go easy my son.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

He then related the aforementioned verse.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

Similarly, once a group of students crowded around

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

Al Hassan al Basri and his son then

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

spoke harshly to them. Al Hassan said, go

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

easy, my son. Then, he related the aforementioned

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

verse. And this is not like this is

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

not a joke or like one of the

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

tales of the ancients. Look,

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

You know,

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

aside from my sermonizing about, like, what being

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

disappointed with people nowadays you see even the

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

people who are full time students of knowledge,

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

they'll say, like, you know, you're like we'll

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

tell them why don't you go study in

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

this place and that place. Like, oh, it's

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

too difficult, you know. I need to have

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

air conditioner. I need to have this to

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

eat that to eat. I'm gonna get sick.

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

I'm gonna get bored. I need TV. I

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

need a telephone. I need blah blah blah.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

You know, it's, you don't wanna say bad

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

to people like that because, look, they're at

00:11:01 --> 00:11:02

least they're trying to learn something, but,

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

that's not the attitude that our forefathers used

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

to have. They used to go to the

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

the the place where the ill most best.

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

And just like somebody, if you give them

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

a full ride scholarship to Harvard and they're

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

like, wow. Now I'm gonna just peace out

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

and go to my community college and get

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

a, you know, certificate in, like, you know,

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

whatever secretarial,

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

duties, which is fine. There's nothing wrong with

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

that. It's a halal living and stuff. But,

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

like, if you have this opportunity to,

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

go for more, it's intuitive to, people who

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

are, like, materially inclined why you should go

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

to Harvard, why you should go to Yale,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

and why it'll be an amazing opportunity you

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

won't find elsewhere.

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

But, we see amongst even the people who

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

are gonna end up giving our jumah khutbas

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

and, like, competently give our jumah khutbas and

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

give us fatwa and things like that. Oftentimes,

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

they'll choose where they wanna go because of,

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

you know, considerations with regard to food or

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

comfort.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

But further than that, you know, this,

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

this

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

this story about, Al Hassan al Basri's son

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

speaking harshly to the students of knowledge.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

Look. Students are people as well, and students

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

are fun people. They're weird people. I've been

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

a student as well, Anyone who's like a

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

a who's listening to this

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

Bayan,

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

if any of, any of our,

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

our our

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

are listening,

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

you know a couple of things. One is

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

that, Shaitan will make effort on a person

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

commensurate with

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

the quality of their intention,

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

meaning the more ikhlas and sincerity that you

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

make, the more shaitan will attack you. And

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

the bigger the good deed you intend, the

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

more shaytan will attack you. And so maybe

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

somebody who's just, you know, going around the

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

corner to buy a pack of cigarettes and

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

a lotto ticket, shaytan may leave them alone

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

completely. In fact, he may help them.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

Whereas a person who's trying to do something

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

like settle an argument between 2 people

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

or settle an argument between a husband and

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49

a wife

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

or, you know, rectify something that's gone wrong

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

in a place, or, you know, striving to,

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

you know, worship Allah

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

in the most sincere way possible, A shaitan

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

will attack that person with the weirdest things,

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

you know. People ask me, by the way,

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

they ask me and I've gotten already I've

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

already gotten electronic communication about this. They say,

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

Shaykh, if shaitan is supposed to be tied

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

up in in this month, why is it

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

that I'm having all these kind of weird

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

attacks right now,

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

just on the 1st day of fasting?

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

And I say there's a good reason for

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

that. It's not shaitan who's messing with you.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

It's your nafs. Your nafs is freaking out

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

right now. Why?

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

Because it's like, oh my god. You're making

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

me, like, do something good and that's gonna

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

suck. And so it's gonna throw everything it

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

has at you. Right? So you know that.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

So a person who's a student of knowledge,

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

who's going to, you know, seek sacred knowledge,

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

which is such an important thing. That's the

00:13:38 --> 00:13:39

point we're we're talking about right now.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

Yeah. Dude, Shaitan and Danas are gonna conspire,

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

and, they're gonna they're gonna try to jack

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

that person. You know? That person is their

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

pure and innocent ruh and heart and spirit

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

are walking into a dark alley with a

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

lot of enemies on the other side of

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57

which is a great treasure, but it's gonna

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

be perilous in the middle.

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

And, those of you who've been a student

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

know that shaytan has come to you while

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

you're a student and made you do some

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

dumb things.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:08

And everyone knows, that they've wasted time and

00:14:08 --> 00:14:09

that, you know, they wish they could have

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

done something better while they were studying because

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

it's a beautiful opportunity while it was there.

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

Those of you who are still students, if

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

any of you are listening to this, please,

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

for the sake of Allah ta'ala, try your

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

best try your best to, you know, grind

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

through one more daras, one more page of

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

of Mubala and Morajah of reading and reviewing.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

Try to grind through one more ayah in

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

tafsir and one more hadith in your in

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

your studies. Why?

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

You'll miss it when it's gone. You may

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

not get an opportunity again, and you'll swear

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

7 oaths up and down,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

on the divine names of Allah and, on

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

everything sacred that those were the best days

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

of your life and that you would give

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

anything to go back to them.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

But you know while you're there, it's kind

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

of a weird place to be. And,

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

you know, one of the things, especially in

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

particular, that the students of the Darce Nazami

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

will will will identify with is that the

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

shaitan makes the highest and hardest

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

effort on you when you're reading the dura

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

hadith, the hadith of the messenger of Allah

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

Outwardly, it seems that people are eager to

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

finish their studies and get on with their

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

life after having been in in Madrasa for

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

5, 6, 7, 8 years,

00:15:12 --> 00:15:13

and so they see the end in sight.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

But inwardly, the inward reality is what? You're

00:15:16 --> 00:15:18

on the cusp of doing something great. You're

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

receiving

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

the madad,

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

through,

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

through the,

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

through the, through the, Alem Rouhani,

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

from

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

the names of the transmitters and from the

00:15:29 --> 00:15:32

Mubarak name of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

and from the angels who brought the message

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

of Allah to him and from Allah, Rabul

00:15:36 --> 00:15:36

Azza,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

whose deen that he brought

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

and you're being filled with this nur

00:15:42 --> 00:15:42

and,

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

Shaitan hates it. And so he's, you know,

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

and Shaitan hates it and the nafs is

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

also not super excited about it most of

00:15:49 --> 00:15:49

the time.

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

So, you know, you know, people in that

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

Dora Hadith, they act weird and they do

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

weird things and,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

they get into fights and it's just it's

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

a really weird, like, combination of, like,

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

like, and, like, senioritis that that they go

00:16:04 --> 00:16:08

through. And, I remember in Madrasa, like, some

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

of the students would be doing dumb things.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

They'd cut class or they would come late

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

to stuff or they would do things that

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

would annoy the teachers. And so, cutting to

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

the chase,

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

we're talking about, the son of Al Hasan

00:16:19 --> 00:16:22

al Basri yelling at the students and, Al

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

Hassan said go easy on on them, son.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

And then he, mentions the the the verse

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

of the Quran.

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

Peace be upon you. Your Lord has

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

when those believing in our signs come to

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

you, say peace be upon you. Your lord

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

has made mercy incumbent upon himself.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

And so for that reason, it's actually a

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

custom,

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

amongst the, amongst the, amongst the

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

that when a student of knowledge comes to

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

learn, they say they remind themselves first and

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

they say to others also, this is a

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

this is a guest of Allah

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

His

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

Rasool is a guest.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

This is the guest of Allah and His

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

Rasool

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

And the guest is to be honored. And

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

literally, this is a practice from the time

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:13

It's not just something they see people say

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

even though they do say it in Urdu

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

from time to time. That the Ashab al

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

Sufah,

00:17:19 --> 00:17:21

those people scattered people from the different tribes

00:17:21 --> 00:17:22

that had no

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

no kind of like worldly machinery to take

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

care of them or tribal

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

patronage to integrate into in Madinah Munawwara. They

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

only came to learn the deen of Allah

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

and they used to starve and go through

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

difficulty. Literally they were referred to as the

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

guests of Islam.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

They were referred to as the guests of

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

Islam. So whoever considers himself connected with Islam,

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

ostensibly, that person should honor these people. If

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

they're the guests of Allah and Hisr Rasool

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

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, then whoever is connected with

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

Allah and His Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, they

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

should honor these people. And further

00:17:56 --> 00:17:56

than that,

00:17:58 --> 00:17:58

look,

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

you know, if Allah threw a party, who

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

wouldn't wanna go to his party?

00:18:04 --> 00:18:07

Well, guess what? This Quran is the matduba

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

to Allah. It literally is the, the Madduba,

00:18:09 --> 00:18:12

the the the gathering and the party that's

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

being thrown by Allah

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

So let a person come to that duba

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

as much as they're they're able to. This

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

is one of the first a'athar that's mentioned

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

in

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

the tafsir kurtubi and the Muqaddimah in the

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

in the forward,

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

with regards to the adab of, with the

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

Who wouldn't wanna be the guest of Allah?

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

Allah Ta'ala is throwing a party. You know,

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

people go to a flower parties in which,

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

like, you know, and,

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

you know, like, Roshan uncle and, like, you

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

know, whatever,

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

Abu Fulan and Abu Quran and Abu Stan

00:18:45 --> 00:18:48

and whatever are throwing their parties. You know,

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

I know some Syrians in Ohio, they

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

throw a really good party. You know, I've

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

been incidentally invited to their,

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

Istar parties,

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

in the past while, you know, traveling,

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

to Cleveland

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

for whatever type of work.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

And,

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

you know, they're if there are parties, the

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

food is so good it, you know, ends

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

up messing with your intention that you came

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

only for the sake of Allah and, then

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

you're like, dang, this is good food. I

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

hope they invite

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

you next next month. So we're so excited

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

about these invitations.

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

Imagine Allah is throwing a party, who wouldn't

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

wanna go?

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

I'll tell you who wouldn't wanna go, Munafiq

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

wouldn't wanna go, and a Kafir wouldn't wanna

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

go.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

But anyone who has any iman inside of

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

their heart, they would be like this is

00:19:29 --> 00:19:30

awesome. I wanna go to this. Right?

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

And so, you know, one thing is honoring

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

the guests of Allah His Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi

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

Wasallam.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

And one thing is that wouldn't you want

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

to be the guest in that house? Wouldn't

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

you wanna be the guest of the messenger

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? That Nabi

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he would give dua

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

to a person and that person's life would

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

change.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

He would give Dua to a person

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

He gave this dua that said, Abdullah bin

00:20:01 --> 00:20:02

Abbas

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

literally the man, you know, the man used

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

to teach

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

he used to teach the Quran to the

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

people who would come to the,

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

haram Sharif and

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

like the Pentecost. He would teach people miraculously.

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

Allah would, would give him the ability to

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

speak the tongues of the different nations and

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

he would teach people the deen and all

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

the different tongues of the people who come

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

from different parts of the world, it said.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

You know, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala his messenger

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

made dua for people, you know, Allah ibn

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

Hazarami radiAllahu who is not even one of

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

the senior companions.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

The Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught him the

00:20:39 --> 00:20:39

divine name,

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

the Islam

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

and he like performed miracles. He would like

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

walk on water and do all of these

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

things. And people say, well, this is just

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

fake hagiography.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

Al Abid Hadarami was not a, like a

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

saint who like sat in the corner,

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

you know, saying prayers in the Christian sense

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

of the word.

00:20:57 --> 00:21:00

He was a commander of, an army detachment.

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

They went out and conquered, conquered like lands.

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

They subdued their enemies, you know.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:06

You can you can fake,

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

stories about that only are witnessed by 1

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

or 2 people, in a in a dark

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

room somewhere, but you can't fake conquest.

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

You know, you can't

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

yeah. You can't fake those things. You know,

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

the Persian empire doesn't collapse based on a

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

fictional geography,

00:21:22 --> 00:21:24

under the under the feet of the companions

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

of the So who wouldn't wanna go and

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

meet that Nabi

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

You know, if he looks at you and

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

you look at him,

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

What does that mean? That you he looks

00:21:40 --> 00:21:41

at you and you look at him and

00:21:41 --> 00:21:42

then your

00:21:43 --> 00:21:44

becomes like

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

it becomes like milk and sugar. It becomes

00:21:47 --> 00:21:47

cake,

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

thereafter. Who wouldn't wanna go to that that,

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

invitation? Well, guess what? You can still go.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

You can still be the guest of Allah

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

and you can still be the guest of

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. This is what

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

Al Hassan al Basri was saying to his

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

son, go easy on them because these people

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

are, you know, they're important people, they're the

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

guests of Allah and his Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

Wasallam and he brought a verse of the

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

Quran in order to prove that point.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

And when I was I remember when I

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

was in Dora Hadith, one of our, one

00:22:15 --> 00:22:16

of our,

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

who is currently the Amir of the which

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

is one of the kind of most broad

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

based

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

coalitions,

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

of ulama in Pakistan, which has a number

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

of sectarian divisions in it.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

But this is one of the most broad

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

based coalitions,

00:22:31 --> 00:22:32

of of Olama,

00:22:33 --> 00:22:36

and he's considered to be, he's considered to

00:22:36 --> 00:22:37

be a very

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

respected individual.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:40

And

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

he preserve him and give him long life.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

I don't know how I can

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

describe him to people,

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

except for people who wouldn't believe me. So

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

just go meet him inshallah and you'll you'll

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

know yourself and then you can tell people

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

what kind of person he is. But literally

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

the most spiritual person, one of the most

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59

spiritual people after

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

I've ever seen, it's him.

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

Maybe Allah created somebody who is has a

00:23:04 --> 00:23:07

higher station than him, but I cannot believe

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

that Allah has created anyone like him.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

So he

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

he he has a weird, tartib in which

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

he wakes up, read reads this tahajjud and

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

praises fajr and then he

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

will,

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

just cram until 10 AM. And then from

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

10 AM, he'll sit in one place and,

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27

he won't go from classroom to classroom, but

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

the students will come and go, come and

00:23:29 --> 00:23:29

go,

00:23:30 --> 00:23:30

to him.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

And he'll basically teach,

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

until Assar time, with, I think,

00:23:37 --> 00:23:37

prayer breaks,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

a lunch break and, like, maybe, like, 10

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

minutes of klulah in which he doesn't even

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

sleep. He just

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

he just lays down just because of sunnah,

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

and I've seen it before. I've been in

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49

the room with him before. You know? There's

00:23:49 --> 00:23:50

no way that he falls asleep in that

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

short of a amount of time. He just

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

lays down, shuts the light off just so

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

that the sunnah can be completed. And then

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

he'll teach and tell Asar, and then he'll

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

go to another madrassa and teach and tell

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

Isha, and then he'll go to another madrassa

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

and teach until, like, 1 in the morning.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

And, he gets home 1 30, 2 o'clock

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

and goes to sleep. And the next fajr,

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

he starts it again and only goes home

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

to see his family. He sleeps in the

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

madrasa. He only goes home to see his

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

family on

00:24:15 --> 00:24:18

on on Thursday evening because

00:24:18 --> 00:24:22

Thursday evening after Assur, the Madars closed for

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

the weekend,

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

and then he spends Thursday evening at home.

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

And then,

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

Friday morning, he gets up and goes and,

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30

gives Jummah and then meets with the with

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

the Murids. And,

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

and the Murids, the only time to get

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

is Friday

00:24:35 --> 00:24:38

afternoon, evening. And then, like, starting Saturday morning,

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

he's back into teaching again. And, if there's

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

ever a man who never had enough time

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

alone that he could fake it, it's him.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

And so, he was, you know, he is

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

a very pious man and and very beloved

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

by the students, in a way that I

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

I don't think people will understand

00:24:55 --> 00:24:56

living in America.

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

You wanna talk about rock star chef, those

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

are pious people who don't know what a

00:25:02 --> 00:25:03

rock star is, but they definitely

00:25:03 --> 00:25:07

revere the pious more than people here can

00:25:07 --> 00:25:07

understand.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:11

So Ustaji Milan Hassan one time, because he

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

has so many Durusi teaches in the day,

00:25:13 --> 00:25:16

the schedule of his darsas are they're really,

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

like, uneven, you know. So,

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

the darsas start at approximately a particular time,

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

but but

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

they're taught in order not necessarily according to

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

a clock schedule.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:28

And so,

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

you know, the request always was that the

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

students be in the in the room waiting

00:25:33 --> 00:25:34

for him,

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

and,

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

when he comes, he'll come. But he has

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

so little,

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

like, spare time other than the time that

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

he's allotted for the dars that,

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

that they shouldn't, you know, they shouldn't be

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

late. They should wait for him, not the

00:25:46 --> 00:25:48

other way around. So he came into the

00:25:48 --> 00:25:49

the into the,

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

into the class one day,

00:25:52 --> 00:25:53

and there was

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

a couple of students who were not there.

00:25:58 --> 00:25:58

And,

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

Estagie is like, where are they? Go find

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

them.

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

And then some of the students looked for

00:26:05 --> 00:26:06

them. They're like, well, they're not in their

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

rooms. He goes, no. Look all around the

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

the campus in the Madrasa, several acres. He

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

goes, go from building to building looking for

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

them. You know? Because he was very concerned

00:26:14 --> 00:26:14

that any no student should miss Darce. Very

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

concerned that no student should miss Darce.

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

Very concerned that no student should ever miss

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

Darce, in a way that I think is

00:26:20 --> 00:26:23

administratively awkward. He's very concerned about that.

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

And so in a moment of in a

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

moment of frustration, he did something that, you

00:26:28 --> 00:26:30

know, is very common in the Madrasa,

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

which is sometimes the the get annoyed with

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

the students who already treat them, who already

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37

treat them with immense respect.

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

And he got he got very annoyed with

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

them and so he just said something that,

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

like, many will

00:26:42 --> 00:26:44

say off the cuff, you know, just part

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

of the non non geographical

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

and very real daily,

00:26:50 --> 00:26:50

life.

00:26:51 --> 00:26:52

He said, oh,

00:26:55 --> 00:26:58

He said, don't these, don't these, don't these,

00:26:58 --> 00:26:58

like,

00:26:59 --> 00:27:02

scoundrels know that, this is about to commence

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

or that it's you know, this is the

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

time for the darsh every day that they're,

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

like, absent at this time.

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

And

00:27:09 --> 00:27:12

what happens is that eventually, the student that

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

went to go look for them finds them,

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

and they come into the madras they're they're

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

slate.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

And Ustaji is just teaching. You know? I

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

read I read the front half of the

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

Mishkats from him. I read a jildav,

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

of the Hidayah from him. I read the

00:27:25 --> 00:27:26

front half of

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

Jalalim from him. I read Musal Salat from

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

him. I read Avud A'ud from him. I

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

read the front half of Tirmidi from him.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

He's like a really like, just like a

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

very marathon type teacher,

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

and loves the oolum. And he is famous

00:27:40 --> 00:27:43

about him that, that no matter how stupid

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

the student is, that he somehow finds a

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

way to, like, explain the darsh to them.

00:27:47 --> 00:27:47

And,

00:27:48 --> 00:27:50

no matter how incompetent the student is, somehow

00:27:50 --> 00:27:52

or another, all of them do some sort

00:27:52 --> 00:27:53

of service for Dean

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

afterward, which is, I think, less a matter

00:27:57 --> 00:28:00

of of skill and alone, but more a

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

matter of skill combined with with with with,

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

like,

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

piety from Allah to Allah that has to

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

do with Tawfiq.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

And so he he said this thing, and

00:28:09 --> 00:28:10

then he just goes on his his.

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

And then,

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

you know, in the middle of in the

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

middle of dars, like, minute 45 or something

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

over, like, an hour dars,

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

Ustaji just stops his he stops as Darcy.

00:28:20 --> 00:28:21

He's looking in the hadith of the prophet

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

He has the book open. He's sitting on

00:28:23 --> 00:28:24

the Mesned,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

and he says he just stops and just

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

last. And I look up. I said, what's

00:28:34 --> 00:28:35

going on? I look up and I see

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

he's he's weeping.

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

He's crying. Like, tears are coming down his

00:28:39 --> 00:28:39

eyes.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

And he says,

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

These aren't scoundrels.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

These are the guests of Allah, Hish Raul

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

So Estradji cried.

00:29:13 --> 00:29:14

And I looked at the 2, and I

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

knew they were just wasting time. I said,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

I'm gonna beat these guys when we're done.

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

They made Eustachi

00:29:22 --> 00:29:22

cry.

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

But no matter how bad I said anything

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

to them, they'll never forget the love with

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

which they were taught.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

One of those students actually passed away a

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

couple of years ago.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

But what do I explain to people

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

who throw

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

these books to the side and throw this

00:29:54 --> 00:29:55

knowledge to the side?

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

That to you, it's an annoyance and difficulty

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

and

00:30:01 --> 00:30:02

an impracticality

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

of

00:30:05 --> 00:30:07

reading something from a different time, in a

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

different place,

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

and in a different language.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:13

And you have to earn your living, and

00:30:13 --> 00:30:14

so do I.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

What do I explain to you that to

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

you, it's all of those things?

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

But to Ustazhi and those who sat with

00:30:24 --> 00:30:25

him, this is our deed.

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

And if you didn't see that from anybody

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

and if we were unable to show that

00:30:36 --> 00:30:37

to you ourselves,

00:30:39 --> 00:30:40

then how would you know?

00:30:45 --> 00:30:46

So Allah

00:30:46 --> 00:30:47

give us that,

00:30:51 --> 00:30:52

like

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

through whom

00:30:54 --> 00:30:55

our propagates

00:30:57 --> 00:30:57

from

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

All of the masha'if all the way through

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

to our

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

that this is their tradition. Some people put

00:31:13 --> 00:31:14

the up on the wall and then they,

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

you know,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

eat halva by the kilo.

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

And this is our we saw them actually

00:31:20 --> 00:31:21

living what our,

00:31:23 --> 00:31:25

showed to them as a an example.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

What should I show to you that there

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

there's a certain people that, this was a

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

reality to them? And maybe somebody, you know,

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

wants to disagree with me with regards to

00:31:34 --> 00:31:35

or with

00:31:35 --> 00:31:38

regards to or hadith or any of these

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

things, you know, within reason.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:41

And,

00:31:41 --> 00:31:43

I can I can I can stomach that?

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

I've lived with people who don't agree with

00:31:45 --> 00:31:46

me, and I don't agree with them my

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

whole life. I can stomach that.

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

But, for the sake of Allah, if you

00:31:50 --> 00:31:51

love

00:31:51 --> 00:31:52

Allah

00:31:52 --> 00:31:53

and

00:31:53 --> 00:31:53

his

00:31:54 --> 00:31:54

rasul

00:31:55 --> 00:31:55

and,

00:31:56 --> 00:31:57

you know, and

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

you value this knowledge as sacred,

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

then I see Baraka in your opinion even

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

if it's different than mine.

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

And if it's just all a waste of

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

time in some sort of fashion or some

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

sort of inconvenience or whatever,

00:32:08 --> 00:32:09

then,

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

even if you agree with me, I think,

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

what we differ on is is more than

00:32:14 --> 00:32:16

than what's in common between us.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:19

Allah give us to have to

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

have and desire for this knowledge

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

and to revere it as it should be

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

revered so that it can come into our

00:32:26 --> 00:32:27

hearts. It comes into our minds,

00:32:28 --> 00:32:29

It can come into our hearts as well

00:32:30 --> 00:32:33

and, blaze with its radiant light,

00:32:33 --> 00:32:35

until it it it vanquishes darkness.
