			Allah give us from his rahma.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			Gift us from his rahma. Indeed, he's the
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			bestower of gifts.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			As a preface to the continuation of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			the story and mention of, Hajj Hajj Madin
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			Kubra.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			It's important to point out
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			that Allah
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			gave 3 institutions for the tarbia of a
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			human being.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			The first institution
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			is
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			that of parentage,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			that a person's mother and father,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			are there to give physical tarbia to a
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			person. That through
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			the asbaab,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			the
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			seeming realm of causes and effect.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			A person's genetic material comes forth. That genetic
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			material is fostered within the womb of the
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			mother and
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			sustained,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			through her,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			physiology,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			through her care and her nurturing, through her
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			love,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			and through the support of the father,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			when the father is there to support her.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			And when that child is born, that child
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			is born into a loving family to both
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			father and mother,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			and that child is then raised and taken
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			care of primarily,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			from the father and mother.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			The child
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			will have both parents with them to learn
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			how to walk and to learn how to
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			talk,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			to take care of their,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			not only their physical,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			needs in terms of food, clothing, shelter,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			but also their
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			development, their their physiological
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			development,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			their mental development,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			their
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			development of speech, the ability to speak,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			and to learn basic human,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			and,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			adab.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			And then Allah
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			gave 2 further
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			institutions
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			for the tarbia of a human being that
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			are just as important.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			One is
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			the Ulamayikiram.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			They're there in order to make Islam have
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			a person's call,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			that a person should speak and outwardly comport
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:44
			properly.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			And they take a person from being illiterate,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			to learning
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			And then
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			in the mode in the method of the
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			ulama, they teach the books of Nahu and
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			Sarf of Arabic syntax and of morphology,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			and then teach the books of and the
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			books of and the books of the various
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			other and
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			1 by 1 until a person knows the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			knowledge of deen
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			and is oriented
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			within
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			the atlas of knowledge,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			not just of this world, but
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			of that knowledge which was revealed on the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			Mubarak heart of the prophet
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			on that day that Allah ta'ala sent down
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Iqra would say in the Jibril alayhislam,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			which made the mountain into the into
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			a mountain of light
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			and came down on and changed the world
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:34
			forever.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			That a person should also be
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			illuminated by that light,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			some part of that light that came down
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			on the heart, the Mubarak heart of the
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			prophet
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			and then
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			after that, the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			and the had the the the speech so
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			that you can talk the right talk. It
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			happens from the
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			The
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			the rectification
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			and the bringing together of the of the
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			howl, of the spiritual state of a person
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			is done by the,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			the true inheritors of the Sufia I Keram.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			May Allah be pleased with them and raise
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			their rank, so that a person can have
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			inside of their heart
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			all of those good traits that give the
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:20
			heart life.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			Rasulullah, sallallahu
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			in his
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:26
			terminology
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			and Allah ta'ala in the terminology of his
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			book.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			They use the
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			expressions of life and death.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			Just like a word
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			may be
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			common between 2 different languages, but may mean
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			2 very different things.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			Something very different in one language and something
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			very different in another.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			Just like that the words life and death,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			they mean something to,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			you and I,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			and they mean something else
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			to, Allah and his
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			when they talk about them in a particular
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:01
			context.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			So a doctor might say, well,
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			someone who's dead,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			their heart no longer
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			beats. Their brain no longer functions. It doesn't
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			crank out waves anymore,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			and they, no longer are respiring, breathing the
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			cellular processes.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			At some point, they also stop.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:22
			And
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			the tissues of the body start to rot
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			and to break apart and to
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
			dissolve,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			into,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			into something else,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			which after some time is unrecognizable
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			as anything, like a human being.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			If a person is no longer able to
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			get up, if you speak to them, they
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			can no longer answer.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			If that person has no tomorrow to look
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			forward to, we speak of this as a
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			death.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			And Allah ta'ala and his
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			when they talk about life and death in
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			the context of this deen,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			In a particular context,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			they mean that the person who is living
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			as is mentioned in the atha of the
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			prophet
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			The person who's living is the person who
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			remembers Allah
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			and the person who's dead is the person,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			from whose heart that remembrance is completely gone.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			And so the sufia I Keram,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			may Allah
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			preserve those who are their true inheritors and
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			those who are doing their work, and give
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			us the of meeting them before we die
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			and getting our done by them,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			and benefiting from them,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			both in this world and the hereafter,
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			like the Ulamayikiram.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:40
			The Sufiyiikiram,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			their whole
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			function within this ummah is to make Isla
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			Havir Hal.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			Isla have your hal. Isla have your hal,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			the rectification of your inner state.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			Means what? That you should not be a
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			person who has a physically living body, but
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			a dead heart, a heart that is devoid
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			of the remembrance of Allah ta'ala, the mention
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			of Allah, and the praise of Allah subhanahu
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			And so they're the ones who
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			give you the knowledge of those things that
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			the heart needs in order to function, just
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			like a car needs gas,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			a car needs oil,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			a car needs air in the tires. There's
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			a finite number of things which may seem
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			overwhelming to a person who is not familiar
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			with the function of
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			a vehicle.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			There is a finite number of things that
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			need to be taken care of, but they
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			may seem overwhelming. But perhaps a mechanic who
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			understands how the car works,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			will be able to keep all of them
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			in mind and to assess which thing, is
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			needed from those vital,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			vital things that allow the car to function
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			while at the same time knowing those things
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			that can destroy the car, those things that
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			can harm the car, those things that can
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			rust its body, those things that can jam
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			up and clog up the engine, those things
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			that can
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:57
			impede it
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			from from from functioning.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			Those things that can puncture the tires, etcetera,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			etcetera. Just like that. The Sufiray Keram are
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			the ones who not only have the theoretical
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			knowledge of,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			those,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			akhlaq hamida,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			those good traits and good qualities that give
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			life to the heart, like the fear of
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			Allah,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			like the constant
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			returning to him in Tawba in repentance,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			like the trust in Allah
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			like the love of good, like
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			and humility,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			etcetera.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			And also on top of that, they not
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			only have the
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			theoretical knowledge of those things that destroy the
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			heart, like the love of leadership. Yes. The
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			love of leadership. Everybody wants to be president.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			Nobody wants to be a worker. Everybody wants
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			to be a general. Nobody wants to be
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:50
			a soldier.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			Everybody wants to be a shot caller, but
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			nobody knows how to dribble the ball.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			This results in failure, in the ummah on
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			so many levels.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			So the
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			also know these these
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			detrimental and awful often fatal conditions,
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			that that are the diseases of the heart,
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			like the love of leadership, like arrogance, thinking
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			that you're better than others,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:16
			like,
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:18
			envy,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:19
			like,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			hatred,
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			like a number of other things that might
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			kill
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			a traveler toward
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			Allah not only impede their progress, but set
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32
			them back,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			perhaps so far that they're not going to
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			be able to make up for it and
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			that may weaken their heart so much so
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			that it may
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			die a death.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			That not only do they have the theoretical
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			knowledge of these things, but they also have
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			the practical knowledge of them in the same
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			way that the mechanic knows how to fix
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			a flat tire and knows how to,
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			rebuild an engine or re rebuild a transmission
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			that no longer functions.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			They know how to fix the AC and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			they know how to fix the heater. They
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			know how to make the car work. And
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			Sofia and Keram are the ones who make
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			the have the hal of the, of the
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			person. And all 3 of these,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			all 3 of these
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			elements need to be,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			functional in order for a person to be
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:17
			functional.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			Yes. There are even people who
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			receive the knowledge of this deen.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			And we live in an age in which
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			the proliferation of knowledge has become easier,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			than it has been in the past. Although
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			people's desire for knowledge,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			and their earnest and fervent,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			seeking of it
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			may have dimmed.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			But, there's a lot of compensation in this
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			age,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			that is made through the proliferation
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			of media
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			that you have the ability to hear the
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			duros of great olema,
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			from the comfort of your own homes,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			the proliferation of books, and publishing,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			and the proliferation of, a number of means
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			that make seeking knowledge easier than it ever
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			was before.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			But a person,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			their knowledge can be perfected.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			However, until the ego dies inside of their
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			heart, that person,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09
			is
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			just as
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			much of a risk of dying inside of
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			their heart and killing others. In fact, much
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			higher risk of killing others,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			in their hearts,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			than a person who doesn't, who doesn't,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			have the sacred knowledge and doesn't carry the
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			sacred knowledge with them.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			And so
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			there is and there always was a need
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			for the Islamic rectification of the of
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			the internal condition of the people of the
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			Ummah,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			including the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			just like there is a
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			a need for the, intellectual rectification
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			and the rectification of
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			the call, of a person of this ummah.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			Just like it's unacceptable
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			to have people walk around with master's degrees
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			and PhDs and medical degrees and law degrees
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			and these advanced forms of study,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			but they don't know how to read the
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			Quran properly, and they've never read,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			from until
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			and they don't know basic they don't know
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:10
			basic
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			they don't know basic they don't know the
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			basics of anything. Just like that's unacceptable,
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			and it should be
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			clear that this is a cause,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			for great,
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			for for great harm to the ummah because
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			of people's ignorance. No matter how big their
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			degrees are, just like that,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			People not giving time to their rectification,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			not expending energy for their rectification,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			not expending effort for the rectification, and not
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			going to those people who themselves have
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			had their rectification done
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			and know the knowledge of this rectification
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			and not going to those people in order
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			to take treatment and in order to take
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			prescriptions from them.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			This can cause a great problem because there
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			are so many
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			reprehensible innovations.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			There are so many
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			blameworthy states of the heart,
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			that a scholar can carry or a person
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			of some knowledge
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			even if they're just a scholar in their
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			circle. Meaning, they may not be a scholar
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			in the professional sense,
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			or in an absolute sense. But in their
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			circle, they're the people who have the most
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			knowledge. Sometimes those people are the most harmful
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			of people.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			That if they don't have the ego purged
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			out of themselves, if they don't have the
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:23
			Inad
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			purged out of themselves.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			Inad is what? The abstinence
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			and the inability to submit
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			in front of, the the the divine writ
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			and in front of the divine commandment. If
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			they don't have that purged from inside of
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			themselves, oftentimes those people are just as much
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			of a
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			danger as any ignoramus, if not more of
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			a danger. And so I want you to
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			appreciate this one thing about,
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			people like
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			that they
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			talk the talk, meaning their
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			hal was their qal was was perfect.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			That he's a faqih and he's a a
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:02
			Muhadith,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			and he traveled through Egypt and through all
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			the different lands of Islam and seeking the
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			And then he also walked the walk as
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			we're going to
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			as we're going to read,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:15
			very shortly,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			that his his hal was,
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			of the highest degree,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			and he did this also for his students.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			He did this also for his students.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			And inshallah maybe we'll get a chance to
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			talk about that, in a moment.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			So we left off. The the heavy mentioned
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			that the Tatars set upon Khorasan in Rabiiul
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			Aul of 618,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			and Najmuddin Kubra was amongst those who went
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			out in jihad. They fought at the gates
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			of the city until they were killed. May
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			Allah be pleased with them. The sheikh also
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			was killed, while he was in his eighties.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			That he achieved the Maqamah martyrdom in his
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			eighties. The word Tatar, by the way, the
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			Tatars
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			are it's the name of a clan of
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			Mongols. So the word Tatar and Mongol is
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			used interchangeably,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			and, I'm not a 100% sure about this,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			but I think one of the reasons that,
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			this word is used and sometimes people,
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			will use the
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			the word tartar as well.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			This is some sort of play on words
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			in order to somehow
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			associate them with, the hordes of the underworld
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:22
			from Greek, mythology or something like that. But
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			at any rate, the word Tatar perhaps because
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			this one clan was more known to the
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			people in, West of Mongolia,
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			that these two words are interchangeable in the,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			in the Persianate and, Arabic,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:34
			tradition.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			So a little bit of historical background, of
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			how it is that the Mongol hordes came
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			to Khorasan, that when the heathen Mongol horde
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			moved to enter the city,
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			during the reign of Genghis Khan himself.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			And Mohammed Shah, the sovereign of Khorasan, had
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			already abandoned his city and kingdom.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			The sheikh Nejumadin called his disciples
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			who were not native to the city and
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			told them to go back to their homelands.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			Kamal Ad Din Sarnati,
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			and
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			I I believe it's Sarnaki because
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			the source I
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			took this quote from writes Sarnaki, but I
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			can't find Sarnaki in any,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			in any of the Tabakat.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			But there's a Safnakhi who wrote
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			Tabakat of the masha'i of Central Asia.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27
			He related that, Khaja Najmuddin gathered over 60
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			of his disciples who were not from Khorasan,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			and he said to them, get up and
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			leave. Go back to your homes for indeed
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			a fire has come out from the east
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			and it will soon burn the west. It
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			is a great tribulation, the likes of which
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			has not been seen in the Ummah. Some
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			of them said,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			if you called out to god, perhaps you
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			would spare the Muslim,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			lands of this tribulation.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			Khaja Najmuddin responded,
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			this is the decree from God Most High
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			and the decision that will not be repelled
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			nor will supplications be a benefit in this
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:57
			matter.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			Obviously, the supplications of a Muslim are always
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			of benefit, but some of them, they won't
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			do anything for you in this world. Rather,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			they'll be waiting for you as a reward
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:08
			in the hereafter.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			The people said to the Sheikh Molana, we
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			have riding beasts for conveyance,
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			and you can ride with us and leave
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			the city this very hour. He said to
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			them, no. Rather, I will, be killed here.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			I have not received permission from Allah to
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			leave, so prepare for your exodus.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			And so
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			this is the
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			the propriety of the sheikh
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			that he was not a coward nor would
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			he, flee from the scene of battle,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			that the people the responsibility of defending Khorasan
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			was on the people of Khorasan, and he,
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			told those who that responsibility did not fall
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			upon,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			immediately.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			He told them to leave, but he himself
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			refused to abandon or flee, from the battlefield,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			which is one of
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			the cardinal virtues of the companions
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			and it's actually considered a great sin
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			to, flee,
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			to flee from the the scene of battle
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			for those who are obliged to stand firm.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:11
			And,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			there's a lot that can be said about
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:14
			this, but,
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			so little time.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			And so a little bit of background, the
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			the the the Khorasan Shah actually, the Mongols
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			had sent
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			AA delegation to trade,
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			in
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			And
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			because of court intrigue between different fractions of
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			the the the court of Muhammad Shah,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			They basically one faction had,
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:40
			that
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			group of Mongol traitors killed
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:44
			treacherously,
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			in order to frame or set up the
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:48
			other faction.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			And, Genghis Khan,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			then sent, an embassy to,
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			the Mohammed Shah and the the Shah of
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:56
			Khorasan,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			in order to ask why were my people
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			killed for no reason.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			And,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:03
			in arrogance,
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			because the Mongols were unknown people at this
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			time.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			They were not people who were really all
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			that well respected.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			He he not only did he not, entertain
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			that, you know, the legitimate
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:19
			request,
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			to know why what happened happened from this,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			embassy,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			But, he took the unfortunate further step,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:28
			of,
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			despicably having this embassy killed as well.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			And you don't kill ambassadors.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			This is just a treachery.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			You don't kill ambassadors. You don't kill messengers.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			Rasool Allah
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			if he didn't kill the messengers that carried
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			the message of Musayla Matul Khazab,
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:50
			nobody afterward, the false prophet, nobody else afterward
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			has the right to, kill
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			a a a messenger
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			or an ambassador.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			And so after this,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			the Mongols,
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			Genghis Khan, they decided that, we need to
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:01
			teach,
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			the Khoras means a lesson,
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			which is sadly
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			and very tragically that lesson was taught and,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			the occasion for it, we have nobody to
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:12
			blame but ourselves
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			for that. And,
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:16
			what happens
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			what happened was that the Mongol hordes,
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			who who were unified in a way they
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			weren't unified before,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			under the command of Genghis Khan. They showed
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			up,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			in the Khwarazmian lands, and Mohammed Shah,
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			actually,
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			on the field of battle, something happened to
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:39
			him.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			He was filled with fear and he fled,
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			instead of giving a fight.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			And this demoralized
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			the entire,
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			army and,
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			they were not able to give organized resistance.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			And in fact,
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			a pious and brave man from his sons,
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			Prince Jalaluddin,
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			he actually will
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			have
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			a small group of loyal soldiers that will
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			harass and fight against the Mongols for quite
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			some time, and it takes them quite quite
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			quite some time to overwhelm them and dispatch
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:12
			them,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			given, the very small band of people that
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			he was
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			commanding, which is another story,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			for another time.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:20
			But,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			this talk that that, Hajjanej Muldin is having
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			with his,
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			with his is after,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			Muhammad Shah, the the the the king of
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			Khorasan had
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			basically abandoned his people and fled from the
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			scene of battle.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			And so he, he said that I will
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			be killed right here and I have not
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			received permission from Allah to Allah to leave.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			So you people from out of town prepare
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			for your exodus.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			Once they had left and the Mongol horde
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			had entered the city, the and his remaining
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			companions called out the prayer as gathering. Which
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:53
			is
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			from the corpus of hadith if people will
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			remember.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			It is,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			what was called out when the Rasool, salallahu
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			alayhi was salam wanted to gather people into
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			the masjid, but it wasn't one of the
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			times of 5 prayers, meaning it wasn't appropriate
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			to give the adhan.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			When the people had gathered, he said, stand
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			up in the name of god and let
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			us wage battle in the path of Allah.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:20
			He then entered his own and he entered
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			his home and emerged donning the with
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			which he was vested by his Sheikh.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			He tightened his belt and filled his pockets
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			with stones
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			and went out with a javelin with a
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			spear in his hand.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			And he fought until he had lost a
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			javelin and hurled all of his stones at
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			the enemy.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			As the ink arrows of the Mongols rained
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			down on him,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			it said that he was in an ecstatic
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			state as if dancing and repeated some verses
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			in his native language. The meaning of which
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			was, if you kill me in union or
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			separation,
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			I'm no longer concerned with either as your
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			love is enough for me. Meaning whatever happens,
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			happens
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			as long as you're pleased with me, Allah,
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			that's sufficient.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			While he was in this state, an arrow
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			struck him in the chest. He pulled it
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			out and threw it in the air.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			With his wound not flowing profusely, he passed
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			from this world as a shahid. May Allah
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			accept it from him,
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			and his companions and all those who gave
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			their lives so that god's word may be
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			supreme.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			His study, how would see people repent and
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			take up the path of righteousness across the
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			region.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			Mulla Jami and his
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			has a rather lengthy entry on Sheikh Najmuddin.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			So hitherto,
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			the information I mentioned about the sheikh were
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			was from the Arabic sources. I have to
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:37
			thank
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			Sheikh Sabahuddin from Istanbul,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			who
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			is a local Ustad of the Ulum, both
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			in Arabic and in Persian.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			When I discussed with him that I was
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			writing this paper about, Hajjan al Mudin,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			he he he told me that you have
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			to go look in the
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			of,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:01
			of,
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			for the Persian,
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			biographical entry
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			about him. And it's really interesting that that
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			the Persian,
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:13
			biographical materials and the Arabic biographical materials on
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			the same person, they seem to be interested
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			in different things. So the Habibi is more
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			interested in,
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			academic achievements and,
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:24
			political matters, matters regarding war and things like
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			that. Whereas in the there's a number of
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			anecdotes of the daily life of the Sheikh
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			and a number of,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			statements attributed to him with regards to his,
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			his knowledge and his
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			preceptorship
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			on the spiritual path.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			And between the 2 of them, you you
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			kind of get a a more complete picture.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			So is it Mulla Jami has, in his
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			Nafaha'atul Uns, a rather lengthy entry on Sheikh
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			Najmuddin
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			in which he mentioned a number of anecdotes
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			about his life, his karamat, his miracles, and
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:57
			his martyrdom,
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			as well as naming his prominent authorized successors,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			from amongst his disciples.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			So Mulla Jami says that Hazrut Sheikh,
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			meaning Khaja Najmuddin.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			Hazrat Sheikh had a great number of Moores.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			He had a great number of disciples.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			And so again, you see that he's one
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			of the that
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			he's somebody who himself is and are both.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			Rectified and he was one who gave rectification.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:27
			He gave
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			people like
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			and his other
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			great disciples both in education in the Sharia
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			as well as
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			a spiritual rectification.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			The Hazrashay had a great number of Ma'riads.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			As for a a few, from them, they
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			were the extraordinary
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			ones of the world and the leaders of
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			their age.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:50
			People like Sheikh Majduddin Baghdadi, Sheikh Saaduddin Hamuya,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53
			Baba Kamal al Jundi, Sheikh Radiuddin
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			Ali Lalla,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			Sheikh Saifuddin Baherjee, who was mentioned from before,
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			and Sheikh Najmuddin Razi,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			Sheikh Jamal Adinu
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:02
			Gaili,
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			and some have also mentioned that Molana Baha'u'din
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			Wala, the father of Molana Jaladin Rumi, was
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			from amongst them too. May Allah to Allah
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			sanctify their spirits.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			So from, amongst his,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			disciples that received,
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			Ijaza is the father of Milana Rumi.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			And this is what, you know, I alluded
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			to yesterday that
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:30
			Khaja Najbuddin is somebody who we have connection
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:30
			with
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			because everybody or most people have heard of
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, but they had no idea
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			that his starika, one of the
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:38
			branches
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			of Haja Najmuddin's tariqa goes through Mawana Jalaluddin
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:44
			Rumi.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			And in fact, uh-uh,
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			was
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			from amongst those
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			students that were told to go home when
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			the Mongols were invading,
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			and then he went back to his home
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			across on the southern part of the Oxus
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			River, and he served,
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			the the
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			ruler of Balkh.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			Balkh, which is
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			near the modern Afghan city of Mazar e
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			Sharif. And,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:16
			and then
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			because of jealousies from people and because of
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			insolence from the ruler of Balch,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:22
			he's basically,
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			forced out. He has to leave. And so
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			then he takes his family,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			to the west
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			and settles in the Selju capital of Konya,
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			Konya I Sharif.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			And
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			after he leaves, the Mongols will also trash,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			Balcha as well, and it's never rebuilt properly,
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			or at least according to anything
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			that matches its former glory.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50
			And so,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			Baha'u'll Dinwala this from amongst them.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			So Mulla Jami mentions another glory of the
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			martyrdom of Hajj al Najmuddin.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			He says, they say at the time of
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			martyrdom, he was holding the flag of the
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			disbelievers, that he had actually captured the flag
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			from a Mongol soldier, which is a great
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			feat because the the the flag is usually
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			held by an honor guard by, special soldiers
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			who are,
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			of extraordinary ability because they need to be
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			able to fight without letting the flag fall.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			Letting the flag fall in battle is extreme
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			dishonor.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			And so someone capturing the flag from the
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			enemy is is
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			a a a glorious feat of battle.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			It said that, at the time of martyrdom,
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			he was holding the flag of the disbelievers.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			After his martyrdom, 10 men could not pry
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			it from the hands of the sheikh,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			Uh-uh and, they finally had to let it
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			go with him. It's also mentioned in one
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			of the Persian sources
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			that they actually
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			actually cut off the hand of the sheikh
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			because the hand would not let go of
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			the, of the flag.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:49
			May it be,
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			may their mutilation be just another,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			honor and another rank Allah
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			bestows upon him in his on the day
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			of judgment.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			So Mulla Jami,
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			he mentions then that Mulla Nurmi dedicates an
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			entire ghazal,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			in the Diwan Shamsi Tabriz to his nisbah,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			to the mashaikh in which he also makes
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			reference to Sheikh Najmuddin,
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			Al Kubra. He paid homage to this deed
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			of the sheikh in the following line. He
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			says,
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:27
			that,
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			with one hand,
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			they
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			they were the people who drank the pure
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			wine of faith
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			and with another they seize the
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			flag from the disbelievers
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			And this particular
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			feat of this of seizing the flag from
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			the disbelievers from the of the sun, the
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48
			is
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			a reference to
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			Hajja Najmuddin.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			And, again, I I have I can't thank,
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			the sheikh enough, Sheikh Haja,
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			Sabahuddin
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			from Istanbul enough for bringing this to my
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			attention because if he didn't point out the
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			entry in,
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			the entry in the nafahatul once this huge
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			thing about the sheikh would have passed me
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			by and I would have just put out
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			the paper without it.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			I have heard my sheikh say in the
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:16
			feast,
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			may he be drowned in Allah's mercy and
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			elevated in rank. Mentioned several times that the
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:25
			kubra wiya Tariqa carried Islam extensively through many
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25
			places
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			and played a a special role in the
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			conversion of the people of Kashmir as well
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			as the,
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			the rest of the Indian subcontinent.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			It is perhaps this Nisbod that has dyed
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			them in the color of steadfast resistance despite
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:42
			what is now centuries of continuous hostile occupation
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			by disbelievers.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			The history of Kashmir is,
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			one of
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			great
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			and
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			very onerous occupation,
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:57
			one after the other on the, the Muslims
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			of that place. The majority of the the
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			inhabitants of the valley are Muslims,
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			and, Allah has tested them with
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:07
			just
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			merciless and cruel
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			occupiers, one after the other.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:14
			And perhaps
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			it's because of the,
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			the sheikh and the jalal of his,
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			of his state
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			and the greatness of his sacrifice that we
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			see that Kashmiri people are tough people.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			I had the fortune of having a number
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			of Kashmiri students study with me in the,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			in the Ihsan Academy. I'm talking about actual
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			people from actual Kashmir, not the people who,
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			you know, come to America or even move
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			to Pakistan, etcetera.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			Many of them are great people as well,
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			but I'm saying that the people from actual
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			Kashmir, they have a toughness in them,
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			and it's connected with their deen.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:52
			Indeed, Mawana Abdul Hayl Hasani, the father of,
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			Mawana Sayed Abu Hasan alin Ndu
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			mentions in his Arabic biographical
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:07
			Kubrawiya
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			order. Shihilauddin
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			Kashmiri who, passes away in 862,
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:15
			Shihiakub bin Hasan al Kashmiri who passes away
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:15
			in
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			a 1,003
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			both in Hijra,
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20
			who also had,
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			the two distinctions of being from the students
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			of Hafiz ibn Hajar Al Haytemin Makamukarama.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			May Allah ta'ala
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			guard her and raise her honor.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:33
			And a teacher of Mujad al Alfani,
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			Sheikh Ahmed Sarhindi, that he was he was
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:38
			both a student of Hafiz ibn Hajar and,
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			Hatami,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			the Shafi'i Fakih,
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			and, also a teacher of Mujadid al Thani,
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48
			Sheikh Ahmed Surhandi, a great sheikh of the
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:48
			Nakshabandia,
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:50
			who will
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:51
			receive,
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			separate treatment, inshallah, one of these nights.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			Then finally, he mentions,
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			Sheikh Tayeb bin Ahmed,
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			Rafiqi al Kashmiri, who passes away in 12/66
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			Hijra, whom Moana Abdul,
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:08
			describes as having separated himself from the people
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			in order to dedicate himself to fasting by
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			day and standing by prayer and night all
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			while engaging,
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			in the teaching of fiqh and hadith, that
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:19
			all he did was teach, and other than
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:22
			that, he separated himself, for his Ibadat.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:26
			From amongst his great disciples is, the aforementioned
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			Sheikh Seifuddin Baharzi.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			Inshallah, we'll say a little bit about him
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			tomorrow InshaAllah more than, what we've already mentioned.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:36
			Allah Ta'ala give us tawfiq, Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			Ta'ala give us tawfiq that our hearts when
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			hearing about these great people, these great mashaikh
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			that they develop some sort of connection with
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			them, some sort of nisbah
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			of love. May Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala give
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			us the tawfiq that the few days that
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:50
			we have left in our lives,
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			that are slipping through our fingers like a
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			person trying to grasp,
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			a handful of ashes,
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			that, on a windy day,
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:01
			that Allah
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			give us the tawfiq to make ourselves present,
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:05
			in the,
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08
			in in the presence of the ulama
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			so we can learn what is it in
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			the Quran, what do these words mean that
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:12
			are
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:14
			passing like
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			water under a bridge when we go to
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:20
			Salatul Tarawi? What do these things mean?
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			Allah Ta'il give us tawfiq to understand
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			the Sharia,
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27
			Sayna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the Aqayd of
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:27
			Islam,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			the Hadith of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			the Tafsir of the Quran, and like that,
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			Allah to give us tawfiq to make ourselves
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:33
			present,
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37
			and receive Islam, at the hands of the
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			Sufia I Keram,
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			and their true successors,
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			those people who carried the hala of the
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam or some part of
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			it,
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			and Allah Ta'ala has used them to preserve
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			it until the day of judgment.
