00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			Surah Al Kahf is a
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			Surah that it's a sunnah to read every
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Friday
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			for the benefits of its regular recitation
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			that are transmitted from Rasulullah
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			are that the one who recites it, Allah
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			will protect them from fitna.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			The word fitna can mean either a test
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			or tribulation, which is very difficult
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			in its
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			metaphorical meaning.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			But its literal meaning is punishment.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Its literal meaning is punishment.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in this book,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			Protect yourself
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			from such a punishment
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			that doesn't only
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			afflict
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12
			the wrongdoers
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			amongst you.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			In this context, the meaning of a test
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			doesn't make any sense.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			From the benefits of the recitation of surahsul
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			kaf on Fridays
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			is that a person will be protected from
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			the
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			greatest greatest of fitan,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			which
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			is the
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Masih Ad Dajab, the false
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			messiah, the false Christ, the antichrist,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			which will come before the end of time.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			And this Bayan is not the place
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			to discuss his fitna in great detail.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			Suffice to say, Muhammad Ali and people who
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:54
			are
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			more knowledgeable than myself and
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			more gifted and talented in delivery of the
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			material of content. You can find talks
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			from them online and they'll describe that fitna,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			which is such a fitna that every Nabi
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			warned his people about.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			It's also a sunnah to memorize the opening
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			ayat of
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			Surat Al Kahf and to recite them
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			daily
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			for the same set benefits.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			And because of the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			shortage of time and my inability to
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			deliver content in a concise
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			manner in a short amount of time.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			Unfortunately, we will not be able to discuss
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			the entire tafsir of the Surah.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Suffice to say, the common theme there are
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			6 stories that come through the Surah Al
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			Qaif.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			The common theme through all of them is
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			the emphasis by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			of the superiority
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			of
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			the spiritual world,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			the moral and ethical world
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			over that of the physical world.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			And we live amongst the people perhaps nobody
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			is more materialistic than they are.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			And we live in a time that perhaps
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			no era or time was more materialistic
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			than this time.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			And
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			it's something that is
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			not a surprise.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			Allah says in his book
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			that the days of this world,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			it's like we give everybody a turn
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			to see how they would have behaved.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			To see how everybody would have behaved had
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			they had the chance to do whatever they
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			wanted to.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			And right now,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:46
			the
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			upper hand and the ascendency and the hegemony
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			and suzerainty
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			over the over the the the happenings in
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			the world
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			are in the hands of a people
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			who said and maintained and still maintained that
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			Allah came in the form of a human
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			being, in the form of a material
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			body to this world,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			and that that was something possible.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			And we categorically deny this. This is,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			something that it's very interesting. Right? Think about
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			think about Surat Gaf. There's 6 stories in
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			it, all of which the common theme is
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			the superiority of the spiritual world over the
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			material world. One of the opening verses Surat
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			Kahf
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			And to warn those people
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			that say Allah
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			has a son or took a son.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Meaning what?
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			The superlative
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			the superlative expression of materialism is what? Is
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			to take Allah to Adam who's
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			who's holy and sacred
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			reality transcends
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			not only the physical world, but even the
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			world, but even the world of understanding
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			of the created,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			of the created beings, and to try to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			force him drag him down into this material
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			world.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			So it's no surprise that those people who
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			said Allah to Allah can be part of
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			the material world
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			have ushered in the most materialistic
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			civilization ever known to mankind.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			They have ushered in a civilization which is
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			the most materialistic
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			world ever known to mankind.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			They have literally made material things sacred. If
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			I were to get up and take a
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			$100 bill and rip it up in front
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			of you
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			people literally, their heart will stop.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			Literally, their heart will stop. There's like an
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			electrical monitor. It will have a spiritual effect
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			on us.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			Even though we claim that we're the ummah
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			of the Prophet But
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			what the the other and the effect of
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			being amongst those people, it's there on us.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			So perhaps there is no people who are
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			more in need of it than us.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			But again, because of this scarcity of time,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			we won't be able to discuss all of
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			these stories.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			But what I'll leave you with, if you
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			want to read a thematic treatment of the
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			Surat Al Kahf,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			is that the shaykh of our mashaikh, Mawlana
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			Sayyid Abu Hasan
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			He wrote a a,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			a small booklet.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			I don't know exactly. I don't remember exactly
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			what the name of it is in English.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			It's something like spirituality over materialism, something like
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			that.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			The the the the explanation of Surat Al
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			Kahf.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			And you can actually still find it in
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			print in in some places. And if not,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			you can find the PDF online. Alhamdulillah, by
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			Allah to Allah Subhavala. I've met many people
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			who are connected with the students of of
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			of of Moana,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			Abu Hassan Ali Naddui Radhiemullah.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			And they're actually doing good work in trying
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:05
			to
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			reprint and clean up the English and republish
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:09
			and re
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:11
			distribute
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			his, his many wonderful books
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			on a number of topics.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			And there's actually even an app you can
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			download that you that allows you to actually
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			download his books. For those of you who
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			are able to read it in the original
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			language, the original Urdu, when a person writes
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			something,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			the there's more than just words and information.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			There's a spiritual,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			state that's conveyed through a person's speech and
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:36
			through their writing.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			And that that spiritual state is diluted through
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			translation. Although sometimes the spirituality, the original text
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			is or the original language is so strong
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			that it will reach even through the translation
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			and affect you. But if you're able to
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			read it in the original language, then please
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			do so. And he wrote most of his
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			books, he wrote them both in Arabic and
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			in Urdu.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			It's not that he sent the Arabic to
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			somebody else to be translated, although the English
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:00
			is
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			is to my knowledge, it's all translations
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			from from people that they were done under
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:06
			his,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			under his supervision.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			So go ahead and please get that book,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			read it, and benefit yourself. If you're gonna
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			read the surah every week anyway, or you're
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			gonna read ayaat from the surah everyday anyway,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			you may as well understand what you're
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			what you're reading.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			To read the Ayat of the book of
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			Allah Ta'ala without understanding,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			there's still great benefit in it. But it's
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			like somebody who set the table, but when
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			it's time to eat, they left. You already
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			went through the difficulty of setting the table,
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			you may as well enjoy it as well.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			So out of the different stories of the
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			Surah Al Kahf,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			the story that I wanted to talk about
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			in the brief amount of time that I
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			have, and I really do want to finish
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			on time because last yesterday's ban was really
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:48
			long.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			No, no. 7:15, let them go to dinner,
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			man. Why you gotta
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			browse it though? Right?
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			30. 7:30?
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			But but you're saying that they're not saying
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			that.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			Anyway, so the idea is what?
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			Is that
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			there is a an incident that happens in
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			the life of Syed al Musa alaihi sallam.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			Which is what?
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			After all of those things that we described
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			when we talked about you know, certain
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			themes from the Surah Al Qasas,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			after they crossed the the sea and after
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			the army of Firaun and Haman, Wajamudu Huma
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			were
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			drowned in the ocean, Allah, ta'ala, protect us
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			from ever
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			being in love with them or wanting to
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			be like them or keeping their company or
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			ever becoming one of them. After all of
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32
			that,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			at
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			some point, Sayyidina Musa alayhi wasalam will gather
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			at Baram Bisa'il,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			and he will remind them about the favors
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. In fact,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			to to to remind them about
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			Allah
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:49
			and about
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			all the things that they had gone through
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			together ever since they cast their lot in
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			with Allah
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			And they sought Allah Ta'ala's help and Allah
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Ta'ala showed them his help.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			And it was an amazing band to put
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			it in, you know, a thornketh language.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			It was
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			awesome. Because he killed it. That's it. And
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			so one of the people one of the
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			people who heard, obviously, imagine,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			that the ulema of the the ummah of
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, there are some
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			people amongst them. Their speech has so much
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			spirituality and so much effect in it.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			The, you know, all of us have sat
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			through a good band nowadays and like been
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			affected, but there are some people we don't
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			even know, we don't even know a tenth
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			of it. Right? Moana,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			Sayed Aba'Allah Sha'buhari rahimuallahu ta'ala.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			I heard this from one of my wife's
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			relatives who's not really, like,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			rahamabhulaha, Allah have mercy on him, but he
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			wasn't like a hafiz or a alim or
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			him to all of this stuff. He's a
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			regular guy who prayed 5 times a day.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			He said that he he once mentioned the
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			the name of the Sheikh. I said, how
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			do you know about him? What do you
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			know about him? He said, all I know
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			is that one time I was walking to
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			Karachi,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56
			and,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			there was a band going on in a
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			park. They do that. Right? Because so many
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			people come that you can't there's no building
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			that will accommodate everyone. So they set up
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			a stage in a park and they set
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			up microphones and so they start talking. Oftentimes
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			the microphone sound system is really poor quality,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			it's hard to make out what's being said.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			That he that he was speaking
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			and, I just stopped to see what's going
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			on. And since I was mesmerized, hours have
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			passed, I didn't realize the hours have passed.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			It was very often that he would he
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			would he would start his ba'an after Isha,
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			and people would be surprised by the the
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			Adan of Fajr.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			It had effect on people.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			That's in the later times. That's just in
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			our the generations of our fathers and for
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:37
			our grandfathers.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			The the the the bands of Ibnul Josie
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			and
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			of Shabu Qadr Jelani
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			Those bands, they they had no mic system.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			They actually used to have people who would
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			hear and repeat. They'd have repeaters who would
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			repeat the band basically. Like, you know, they
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			people repeat the they would repeat the entire
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			band. Despite that, those are bands in which
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			like a dozen janazes would leave the band.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			A 100000 people, 10,000 people would listen to
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			it. It would have such an effect on
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			people. Literally, would leave the the the the
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			band that had such an effect on
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			people. And someone's like, I don't know if
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			I wanna go to that. Trust me. There's
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			a lot of khair in it as well.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			The point is it was something that used
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			to touch people. Why? Because the people who
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			who gave them, they had something inside, and
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			it's not just the words that people take
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			from you.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			There's something else from the hearts that that
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			pours out and that's more important than the
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			words. But because we're materialistic people, we think
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			it's just the word, it's not just the
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			words. There's a kefir and a state that's
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			transmitted from person to person. So imagine what
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			should the speech of a nabi be like.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			A Nabi is someone just for him to
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			look at you, it changes your state forever.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			What's the highest
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			of anyone in this in this ummah?
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			It's not being a Hafiz, it's not being
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			a Alem. You can memorize as many books
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			as you want to and become the biggest
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			Mufti and perform Hajj every year and do
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			like zikr the whole night, and like, you
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			know, tahajid the whole night, and all of
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			these things. There's there's a Maqam that you'll
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			never reach.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			It's what the maqam suhbah. The person who
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			is a Sahabi, nobody will ever come close
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			to that. For the of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			alaihi wa sallam after the Prophet
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			What did that involve? Just the Rasulullah
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			sees them,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			and they see him or if they see
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			him.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			So imagine if that's the power that's in
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			just one glance. Right? We talked about this
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			yesterday as well. That's it. Don't
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			don't don't waste your glance on the thing
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			that you're not supposed to.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			Don't waste your I don't and sisters, you
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			know, your your beauty is is something that
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			is that other people look at as a
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			consumer good. So don't give it out for
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			free.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			Right? But imagine that if the the the,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			you know, we because we talk about in
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			a bad way. Right? Like, you know, like
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			like a Mullan Asaf has a ruler in
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			his hand and he wraps a young Muslim
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			or Muslim on the knuckles.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			Haram, don't look at that. Right? There's more
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:03
			than that.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			That's what your eyes were not made for.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			Imagine what your eyes were made for. That
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			there are certain people in this ummah
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			that they have in their glance such a
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			power that it will literally change a person's
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:16
			life.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			The Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam looked at
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			them and it changed their life. He looked
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			at his Mubarik,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			face and it changed his life their life.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			Just one time. It changed their dunya and
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			their afira.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			And the Tabireen,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu for the barakah of
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			the another of the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			sallam, they saw each other and it changed
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			their life.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			That thing hasn't ended yet. It's still going.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			It may not be as powerful as it
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			was back in those days.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			And usually the person who claims that they
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			have this power is trying to like make
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			money, so stay away from them. But as
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			a as a theoretical,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			as a theoretical matter, it's not like it's
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			done. It's not over yet. If it if
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			it when it happens, you'll know and you'll
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			experience it. So imagine what what it was
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			to look on Sayidamus
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			and he's looking on his people and he's
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			reminding them the
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			the state inside of the heart is generated
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			when he's reminding them of the favors of
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:06
			Allah
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			So in this context,
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			somebody marvels
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			and ask Sayyidina Musa alaihis salam, he says,
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			Oh Musa, is there anybody in this world
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			who has more knowledge than you?
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			And Sayyidina Musa thought about the question
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			and he says, I don't know anybody in
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			this world who has more knowledge than me.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			Now the Mufassirun,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			the ulamaftafsir,
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			they say that,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			this statement of his this answer was correct.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			There was nobody that had more knowledge than
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			he did. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala because
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			he keeps always the ones that he loves,
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			he keeps moving them to a higher and
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			a higher state, a greater and greater understanding.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			He wanted to
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			open a door to sayta Musa alaihis salam
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			to make even
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			open a door to even more knowledge to
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			him.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			That wasn't going to be opened
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			in the state that he was at.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			So he revealed to Sayyidina Musa alaihis salam
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			that there is a man who knows all
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			sorts of things that you don't know.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			He knows all sorts of things that you
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			don't know. I want you to,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			meet him where the where the the 2,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			seas meet,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			where you'll see the the
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			the the the river of life
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			and at that place, you know, go look
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			for that place and you will find him
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:28
			over there.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			And then you can learn something from him
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			that you didn't know from before.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			And so, Sayyidina Musa alayhi salam, he takes
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			with him,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			his his companion who
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			is Sayidam Usha Abin Moon alayhis salaam,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			the biblical prophet Joshua.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			By the way, as this like a small
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			side point, which is not small in its
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:50
			importance,
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			at this point, he mentions
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			that,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			Rasoolullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam said to say,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			that
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			my
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			relationship to you
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			is like the relationship of Musa to Harun.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			Meaning what? You're like my you're like my
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			right hand you're like my right hand man,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			and you're like my family, you're my blood.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			He's the closest
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			in
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			kinship to the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			wa sallam.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			And so there is a there are heterodox
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			and deviant * that ascribe themselves to Islam
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			and say, look, this hadith is a proof
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			that
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			Ali should have been the Khalifa of the
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			And at this point,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			court to be points out, he says, who's
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			the khalifa of Sayidina Musa alaihis son? Was
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			it Sayidina Harun?
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			No. In fact, not only according to the
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			Torah but even according to Sahih Hadid, Sayidina
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			Harun Alaihi Salam dies before Sayidina Musa does.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			So it's impossible for him to be have
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			been his khalifa. Who is the khalifa of
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			the of Sayid Musa alaihis salam? Who is
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			the one who took the Imara, the leadership
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			of
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			after Sayidina Musa Alaihi Salam passes from the
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			world. It's Yusha Bin Noon.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			It's the the prophet Joshua Alaihi Salam
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			that that if the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			sallam by the statement was trying to say
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			that you were going to be my Khalifa,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			then he would have said that your relationship
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			to me is like that of Yusha bin
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			Noon. So the Quran doesn't give the name
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			explicitly, but it's
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			He said that, I will keep seeking this
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:23
			knowledge.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			I will not slacken, and I will not
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			weaken, and I will not give up in,
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			seeking this knowledge until until either either we,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			find the place where the 2 oceans meet,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			or the 2 seas meet,
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			or I spend a lifetime looking for it.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			Right?
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			Alright?
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			It's like so many dozens of years that
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			it's like the length of a lifetime that
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			a person spent in order to seek knowledge,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			which is a really good lesson for all
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			of us when we're seeking knowledge.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			If your karisaab is mean to you,
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			right?
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			Be patient.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			Everybody kasses out their karisaab under their breath,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			when they're doing hifs.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			And trust me, you also frustrate Qariasab a
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			lot too, you just you don't understand.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			But once a person does their hifs and
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			they're done, everyone's like, oh my father is
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			a great wali of Allah, he was like
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			an angel and he's this and that, and
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			like they make du'a for when he's dead.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			As if like
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			the old the, you know, cussing him out
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			and like being a jerk at him while
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			he was teaching you, like as if it
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			never happened. Right?
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			So if it's difficult, it's difficult. Sometimes it's
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			difficult to learn knowledge. No one's gonna pay
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			you to learn about the Quran and sunnah
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. They
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			will pay you to be a doctor. They
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			will pay you to be a lawyer. Heck,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			they'll pay you to learn how to drive
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			a, you know, a taxi cab or fix
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			like garbage trucks.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			Nobody will pay you for for for seeking
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			knowledge of the deen in general.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			So it's difficult.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			Nobody will pay your teacher in order to
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			teach teach you, which means getting time out
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			of them is very difficult.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			The ulema in the past used to travel
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			from one country to the other for very
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			simple things, for one hadith or for a
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			small number of ahadith.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:04
			If, Sahnoon,
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			one of the,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			the canonical
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			authorities of the Maliki Madham,
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			he traveled from Tunis
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			going to Madinah in order to meet Malik,
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			only to reach
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			Egypt and hear the news that Malik had
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			passed away,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			But he didn't give up. What did he
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			do? He went and found Malik's students
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			and he learned more about the fata' of
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			Malik from Malik's students than many of the
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			people who actually went and sat with Malik
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			himself.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			So
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			is like this he had he wrote a
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			book, basically of, like, the fift of Imam
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			Malik
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			just today to this day and authority of
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			of that topic. Perhaps he wouldn't have been
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			able to,
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			do so even if he met Malik in
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			person, he wouldn't have been able to get
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			all that information out of him, what he
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			got from his different students. The point is
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			is what?
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:50
			The
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			are not just theirs that you can say
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			their name and it's like a good luck
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			charm for you.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			They're there so that you can try your
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			best in order to emulate their
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			example.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			So, Sayidina Musa alaihis salam,
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			he says, I'm gonna I'm gonna spend my
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			whole if you don't even have to I
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			have to spend my whole lifetime
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			looking for this person that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			ta'ala said that that if I, you know,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			find him where the where the the water
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			of life is, I'll spend my whole life
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			in order to
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			to to catch up with him. And so
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			what happens, they're going and they're going and
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			they're going and, like, it's just been a
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			really long time,
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			and, you know,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			frustration is starting to kinda come in a
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			little bit.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			Not not I shouldn't say frustration, but the
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			difficulty of the journey is starting to,
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			starting to
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			be felt.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			And what happens is in that
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:43
			setting,
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			Sayyidina Yusha bin Noon mentions to Sayyidina Musa
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			alaihis salam that a couple of day I
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			wanted to mention something to you a couple
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			of days ago,
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			that happened while you were sleeping.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			But then I I just kind of forgot,
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			and now I just remembered again.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			The Shaytan made me forget.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			And so what is that? Said that there
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			was some piece of fish that that we
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			have, like,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			you can dry fish and take it with
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:07
			you.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			People from West Africa, they they enjoy that,
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			like Senegal and things like that. You go
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			to their stores to the day, you get
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			these, like, dried fish. I don't people from
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			other places probably do that as well. So
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			it it was that, there's this,
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			there's a piece of fish
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			that we had in our provisions.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			And so we passed by a certain stream,
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:27
			and
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			a little bit of the water from the
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			stream, like,
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			came at a at a higher at a
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			higher speed, and it kinda spritzed over and
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			and test the fish. And the fish came
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			alive and it flipped over and just jumped
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:38
			into the water and swam off. It took
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			off. And so,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			And so Sayyidina Musa is like, that's what
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			we were looking for. We already passed it.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			Where is it? Let's go back.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			So they go back and they find this
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			person. Right? This person is not named in
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			the Quran, but the name that that that
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			is transmitted regarding this person is what is?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			Khidr alaihis salam.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			So the difference of opinion, is he a
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			nabi, is he not a nabi,
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			what is who is he, what is he?
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			There's like that's like a lot of tahdig
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			we don't have time to get into right
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			now, But he's a very amazing person. One
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			of the reasons they say his name is
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			Khidr because,
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			as in the Arabic language, it means green.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			So he's where the river of life he
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			used to be found where the river of
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			life is. And it said that literally every
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			place where he stepped, like plants and living
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:26
			things would grow from that place. That Allah
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			put some sort of special type of barakah
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			in in this person.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			And so the prophet
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			the prophet Musa alaihis salam, he met him.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			They went back, they backtrack, and they backtrack,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			and they they they met with one another.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			And so he introduced himself,
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			Musa alaihi sal introduced himself,
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			and he said that,
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			he asked and he made the request with
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			great humility that can you teach me,
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			some of the knowledge that Allah
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			gave you.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			And Allah
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			describes this Hidr alaihis salam that
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			This is a very interesting sentence, not like
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			a normal way of describing things.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			Allah ta'ala said with regard to the sunnah
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			Khidr alaihis salam,
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			that we taught him Allah ta'ala said, we
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:15
			taught him
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			some knowledge from the knowledge that we have
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			with us.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			Now obviously, Allah ta'ala has all knowledge.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			But to ulama, they mentioned that this expression
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			has a special meaning.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			Which is what? That there is a certain
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			type of ilm which is what they call
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			kasbih. A certain type of ilm, that if
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			you observe the world around you, or if
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			you learn, or if you experiment, or if
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			you you know, try to figure stuff out,
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			you'll learn it.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			And it's really amazing the amount of knowledge
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			that people learn from
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			observing the world around them and using their
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			rational faculty that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			us. So through that, there are a lot
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			of things that people have learned. I contend,
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			in fact, that we overestimate how much knowledge
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			that we that we got that we learned
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			through what?
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			That we learned through,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			looking and observing looking at and observing the
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			world around us. You know the brain that
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			a human being has is is similar to
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			a brain that that a chimpanzee has or
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			a gorilla has.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			It's similar perhaps even inferior in some ways
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			to the brain that it that a dolphin
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:17
			has.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			There are certain knowledges Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			gave human beings from Jannah.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			That if we didn't receive those things, we
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			wouldn't have been who we are. And there's
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			certain other gifts Allah gave us that wouldn't
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			that if we didn't receive those gifts, we
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			wouldn't been we wouldn't have been able to
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			be who we are. We would have been
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			stuck like one of the animals.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			What are those things? Like, it's mentioned that
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			the the ajwad,
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			the the date palm
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			is a gift from Jannah. It's not from
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			this world or the olive tree or,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			the. Right? Goats and sheep and, camels and
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			things like that. Are there camels? There were
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			camels before, but they were you couldn't domesticate
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			them or ride them. The only place in
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			the the world that before before 4000 years
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			ago that that the camels were actually docile
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			enough that you can ride them as well,
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			is Arabian Peninsula.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			There's so many things. I contend that these
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			are actually gifts from Jannah. They're not they're
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			not part of the regular system. The regular
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			system is there as well, but they're not
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			part of the regular system. What else?
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			The fact that we have language that we
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			can speak with one another.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			The angels
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			speak language
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			and we speak language. Where did we learn
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			that from? Where did Sayna Adam alaihis salam
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			learned that from?
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			It's not like we made that up because
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			the other animals have brains like we do,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			but they're not able to make that up.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			We can teach you can teach a gorilla
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			sign language.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			You teach dolphins to even mimic human speech,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			but it's not like they were able to
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			figure that out on their own. And I
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			think we're it's our own arrogance we thought
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			we generally assume we figured these things out
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			on our own. What is it? Clothing.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			Right? Other animals, maybe the only other animal
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			I can think of that wear something like
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			clothing is like a snail.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			Because the turtle, the shell is part of
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			its body. A snail, it's the shell is
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			actually something that's
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			that's like external to it somehow that it
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			can, like, weave out of. But even that's
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			like biologically generated by it.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			It's very interesting because there's this discussion regarding
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			clothing. So there'll be one person who's like,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			oh, you gotta wear shawarma's all the time,
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			otherwise you're a horrible Muslim. And the other
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			person is like, no, it's sunnah to wear
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			a suit. I was like, look dude, you
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			guys need both calm down, right? It's not
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			sunnah to wear a suit, otherwise the prophet
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			would have said, No Rasulullah
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			wore what the Arabs wore at his time.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			I'd say that's like a convincing argument for
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			someone who's never read hadith before.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			Otherwise, Rasulullah
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			his dress was very different than that of
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39
			the Arabs.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			Why? Rasulullah
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			used to wear white and used to prefer
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			wearing white. The Arabs didn't used to prefer
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			wearing white. Imagine when you're forget about the
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			desert, when you're sitting in Pakistan for like
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			an afternoon, if you're wearing white clothes, they
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			become dirty sitting inside the house because of
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			the amount of dust that's there. So imagine
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			if you actually live in the desert, how
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			difficult it is to wear white clothes and
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			just keep them clean.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			Only person who can wear white clothes in
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			such a such a context is someone who's
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			immaculate, keeps themselves clean all the time, you
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			have to constantly be washing the clothes, cleaning
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			the clothes
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			constantly for the stain comes on, you have
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			to go to the bathroom, wash it out
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			by hand. You can't just, you know, wait
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			for it to throw it into the washing
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			machine. You won't get by 2 hours that
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			way without the clothes being dirty. What else?
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			that,
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			go against the the the yahud and the
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:26
			nasaa
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			that either wear a hat or they wear
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			a turban, wear both of them at the
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:30
			same time.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			The prophet
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			used to wear the the hem of his
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			his,
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			lower garment, his iazar.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			Right? He never he never wore
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			He never wore sirwal pants. He always wore
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			in zar,
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			like, you know, like you wear in Hajj
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			and things like that. Not to say that
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			wearing sirwal is haram. A number of the
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			sahabah radiAllahu on whom used to wear it.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			Said Nali radiAllahu on whom it's known about
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			him that there he said there are 2
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			habits of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			in appearance that that I
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			left. 1 was that he used to wear
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			an ezar, he used to wear a waist
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			wrap,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			and I started wearing sirwal.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			And the second is that he used to
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			keep long hair, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. His
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			hair used to be to to somewhere between
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			the the the the meat of his earlobes,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16
			to his,
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			shoulders.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			And he said that I shave my head.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			And he said that both of them I
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			only did them because I I I find
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			ease when go in jihad in these two
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			things. So out of that, I take the
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			dispensation of that. Right?
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			So at any rate, we wear clothes
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			and so people make this other argument, you
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			know, like what, you know, what is, you
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			know, do you have to dress like a
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			foreigner or do you have to, you know,
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			wear some ties if you're like going to
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			a Goldman Sachs meeting all the time.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			And the haptiqa is that there's a lot
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			of flexibility in it, people shouldn't be dogmatic
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			about these things.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54
			But people look at these these discussions in
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			the
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			in the context of negativity.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			I say, look at these discussions in the
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			context of being positive.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:04
			If the
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			prophet said,
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			that the person who
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			goes out of their way in order to
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			resemble a people. Not that they happen to
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			resemble a people, but they go out of
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			their way to resemble a people. The shabuhi
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:21
			is that to go out of your way
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			too. For those of you who read Sarf,
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			is wonderful. Read Sarf.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			Brought message brought to you by Sarf. Right?
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			The person who goes out of their way
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			like to dress like a certain people, Allah
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			will count them as if he's one of
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			those people. So people think like, oh don't
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			dress like a kafir, dude you grew up
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			in Thorncliffe man, it's just what's there at
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42
			the mall.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			It's not like you have tailors, you know,
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			and things like that, you guys at least
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			because there's so many Muslims here, you have
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			shops that you can buy other clothing from.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			When I grew up, like, where am I
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			gonna get a shovel of Arcanys from? I
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			lived in Blaine, Washington. It's like a town
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			of 3,000 people,
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:59
			you know, in kind of rural west coast
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00
			of the United States of America. It was
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			such a remote place, I actually used to
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:03
			cross the border to go to Canada in
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			order to attend the Jum'ah Utbah.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			The Imam of the Masjid that I was
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			there, he's now he's in Ottawa, his name
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			is Imam Ziyad Delich, he's a really amazing
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			guy, if you ever can go check him
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			out, he's the Imam in some Masjid in
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			Ottawa. Mashallah, he used to cross the border
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			in order to go and hear the Jumah
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			Fultbah, right? So the idea is this, right?
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			Some people just wear what they wear because
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			that's just what they got, right? So people
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			are like, oh don't dress like a kafar
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			or whatever. I think that's a little bit
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			of a misunderstanding
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			of the hadith.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			But don't look at it negatively, look at
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:31
			it positively.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			If the person goes out of their way
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			to resemble a people and then Allah will
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			count them amongst them, then imagine the person
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			who goes out of his way to resemble
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			the ulama. Imagine the person who goes out
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:44
			of his way to resemble the saliheen. Imagine
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			the person who goes out of his way
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			to resemble the sahaba radiAllahu on whom. Imagine
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			the person who goes out of his way
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			to resemble the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			that there's hate in it. It may not
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			be far, but there's good in it. You
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			know, so don't don't don't ever forget that
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			or lose sight of that. Now why am
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			I saying this?
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			Where did that knowledge come to human beings
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:03
			from?
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			From what? From a realm other than this
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:07
			realm.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			And I've had people actually look at me
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			and say, why you wear the turban, you're
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			dressing like a sick or whatever. First of
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:15
			all, they learned it from us.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			They learned it from They didn't know they
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			didn't know the Indian subcontinent, they used to
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			like Gandhi, he didn't used to wear even
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:21
			clothes.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			Right? It's hot, it's humid.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			This dress, they picked up from us. So
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			you'll see the most like accurate like anti
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			muslim politicians and things like that. If they
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			came to the masjid and the clothes that
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			they're in, no one would wouldn't even know
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			that they're not muslims.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40
			Doesn't it comes to somebody who says about
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			the turban, what's why? Why you wear the
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			turban all the time? It's not far, it's
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			not even a sunnah. Many of our ulema
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:46
			don't wear it either, right? There's nothing wrong
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			with it. As an aati that because the
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam were it, we
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			should honor it in whatever respect it. But
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			what's my point and how is it tied
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			to what we're talking about Surat Al Kahf?
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			The point is this, is that doesn't it
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			come in the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			alaihi wa sallam
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:01
			that on the day of Badr,
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			on the day of the battle of Badr,
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:05
			the sahabah
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			amongst them there were those who saw the
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:08
			angels
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			riding on horses whose hoofs didn't touch the
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:12
			ground,
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			wearing yellow turbans.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			This is a very high nizbah that we
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			have. This is what this is from the
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			angelic
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:26
			adab of a human being. The adab of
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			the angels that there's a certain type of
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			class and a certain type of barakah and
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			a certain type of nur in these things.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:35
			Right? So what I'm trying to say is
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:35
			there are certain
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			that we assume that are,
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			are certain uloom that we assume that are
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			from the uloom kasbiyyah, the uloom that we
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			just learned from
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			our own experiences,
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47
			and our own
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			understandings and our own observation regarding the world
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:53
			around us. And this is from our great,
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			our great lack of sugar for Allah
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			That we don't know that these things were
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:02
			also gifted to us. And we don't appreciate
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			him for them, and we don't thank him
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:04
			for them.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07
			So the idea is this, look, the whole
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:08
			knowledge
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			Al Al Al Kasbi is one thing and
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			then that Al Malwabi is the other. The
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			Al Wabi is opposed to is
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			the thing that you investigate the world around
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			you and think about, and you can earn
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			it through your work.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			Then means what in Arabic?
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			Alright. Allah Ta'ala
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27
			is Right? He's the one who's constantly bestowing
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:27
			gifts.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:31
			Right? So the Alilmul Wahbi is that knowledge
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			which is gifted to mankind from Allah subhanahu
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			wa ta'ala, there's no way you could have
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			figured it out on your own.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			And another another word that describes a knowledge
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41
			similar to that is
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:48
			that we gave him a knowledge from from
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:48
			with us.
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:50
			So that
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			is something that Saidna Musa alaihi salam,
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			Allah ta'ala wanted to show him
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58
			that all of your knowledge, all of your
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			intelligence, all of those things are wonderful, and
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			they'll all be necessary in order for you
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			to prosecute the the hookm of Allah Ta'ala
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:06
			in order to,
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			establish Banu Israel in the land and in
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			order to guide people to the path of
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:12
			righteousness
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			in order to bring order into the world.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:16
			However,
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:20
			this is what it's like imagine. Right?
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			The front
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			chamber
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			where the shoe rack is,
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			that's like
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			the the knowledge that you get from your
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:32
			your own inter your own, experience, and from
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:34
			your own investigation, and your own thought and
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			reflection.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39
			If you enter in from there, there's the
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			whole rest of the masjid.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			And this analogy is, in fact, not apt
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			because it's like perhaps comparing the
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			the the the shuraq to the entire holy
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50
			rest of the universe.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			That the knowledge that's there with Allah, Ta'ala,
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54
			you would never be able to touch if
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			you didn't.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			If you'd if you'd,
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			if you would never be able to touch
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			even if you tried through your reflection and
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			study and things like that,
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			that knowledge you would
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			that knowledge is much more expansive and it's
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			greater than what the knowledge you have just
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			in this, like, small area that you know.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			So this dunya, the knowledge the the analogy
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			of this dunya when compared to
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			the rest of creation
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			is what? It's like the analogy of what
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			experience the baby has inside the womb,
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			which that's the baby's whole life. And there's
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			undoubtedly a lot of things going on there.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:31
			There's an umbilical cord and there's stuff coming
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:32
			in and there's stuff going out and the
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:35
			mother speaks sometimes. The baby hears it and
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			knows this is my mama and then the
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			father speaks and he can hear faint voice
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			from outside and know that this is somebody
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			else I know. Maybe the baby when it's
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			born and hears the father for the first
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			time through its ears, it will know that,
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:48
			like, I remember that was there's a lot
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			going on there, but it's not a lot
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			because the whole world is like so huge
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:54
			in the womb in such a small place.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56
			Just like that when you die,
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			this whole dunya will feel like you were
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			in the womb, and then you'll see all
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:01
			of this other reality.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			And just like that, when you're resurrected,
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			and will start, even the the barzakh that
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			you were in when you were dead will
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:09
			seem like nothing.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			And just like that, the one who enters
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:12
			Jahannam, the
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			will seem like nothing. The one who enters
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16
			will seem like nothing to them.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			The creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			far greater than what people people know.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:24
			So Allah Ta'ala was trying to teach Sayidayn
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			Musa Alaihi Salam,
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			and he taught our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			and through the
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			and through revelation, he teaches the people of
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:34
			this ummah that there is a higher realm
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			of knowledge,
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			and there are adab that you have to
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:39
			follow in order to access it.
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			There are what?
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:43
			That you have to follow in order to
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:43
			access it.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:46
			So what happens is, Sayidamus Musa alayhis salam
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:50
			Can I,
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			follow you so that you can teach me
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			from the guidance that you were taught by
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:55
			Allah
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:00
			That you are not going to be able
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			to be patient with me? Okay?
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			Your whole mind is geared in order to
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			understand the world based on the
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12
			How are you going to be able to
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:14
			be patient with things you're gonna see that
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			are gonna make no sense to you whatsoever?
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18
			And so, Sayyidina Musa
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			You will that, inshallah, you'll find me patient
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			with you, and you'll find that I'm not
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			going to disobey you.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			Why? Because he wanted to learn the knowledge
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			from him.
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			From the river.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:46
			Okay? And so what happens, the ferryman sees
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			that these are 2 righteous individuals.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			If you don't waste because we're talking about
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			what are you supposed to do with your
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:53
			nazar. The nazar wasn't meant to like, you
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			know, look at the aura of like non
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:56
			mahram women on your phone.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			Your your nazar wasn't there so that you
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			could look someone else's like nice car and
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			be like, oh, I wish I had a
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			car like they had cars just like Banu
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			Sultan, looked at the
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:14
			something else. So your nazar, your glance, your
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			gaze, you can tell a lot through it.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:18
			You can affect a lot through it.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			So this ferry man, he sees these 2
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			people and he knows immediately these are pious
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			and righteous people. These are spiritual people. They're
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			not just like a regular Joe Schmo. He
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			says, you know what? Why don't you ride
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30
			on the ferry? You can ride for
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			free.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			So the 2 of them are on the
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35
			ferry crossing the river and in the middle
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			of the in the middle of the ride,
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:38
			Fidr alaihi salam, he
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:41
			he just makes a gesture with his finger.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43
			And and say the Musa sees that the
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			gesture that he makes with his finger causes
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			a hole
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48
			to, enter into the ship and the ship
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50
			starts to sink, and they just walk off
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			and leave. Say the Musa says, why did
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			you do that? Like, a, how did you
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:55
			do that? B, why did you do that?
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:56
			He gave I mean, he was a nice
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			guy. He gave us a ride for free
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			and now like you sank his ship. So
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			didn't I tell you that you're not going
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:02
			to be able to be patient?
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			He says, He says that don't he said,
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			please don't take me to task because I
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:10
			forgot.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			I forgot our agreement from before and don't
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			don't please don't make you know, don't give
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			me difficulty, I'm just trying to learn basically.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:20
			Right? So the next they keep moving, they
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			keep going, so they see like a nice,
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:27
			a cute little kid comes by and said,
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30
			he makes a gesture with his finger
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:33
			and the child is immediately decapitated. The head's
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			head separates and he falls down.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:36
			How
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			did you kill this child?
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:41
			And,
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:45
			said, you don't you remember our, our agreement?
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:46
			Now look,
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49
			if, you know, if you find, like, some
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:52
			pious guy and he, like, decapitates a kid,
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:54
			please for God's sake, call RCMP right away.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:59
			Why? Because this is a very non standard
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			experience that's happening to a nabi. This is
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			not this is not, you know, like it's
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			one of it's definitely one of those kids
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			don't try this at home type of thing.
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			Right? There's things that happened to the mbeah,
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:11
			they don't happen to us. Sayna Ibrahim
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			commanded him to sacrifice his son. If you
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			see a dream by all means, I'm telling
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:17
			you from right now, the dream needs something
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			else. Go to like go to one of
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			the malaasabs and he'll tell you what it
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			means, it doesn't mean you have to kill
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:24
			your son, you know. And if my father
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			sees the dream, definitely means it doesn't mean
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:27
			that you have to kill your son. So
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			just remember that if my father if you're
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			listening. Right?
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			And Sayidina Musa alayhi that that that, I
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			didn't I tell you that you're not gonna
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:45
			be able to be patient with me? And
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			Sayidina Musa alayhi salam says to him something
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			He says,
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:56
			I'm sorry
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			if I ask you about one more thing,
		
00:41:59 --> 00:41:59
			then
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:00
			you can leave me.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:05
			Because truly even I recognize that that I
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			run out of excuses.
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			Now,
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			there's a tafir
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			that one of the
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:14
			gave. And he wasn't that one of the
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			ulama, he's kind of one of the
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:19
			of Abu Madi and Al Zoth. He's from
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:21
			Andalusia. He's a very great,
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			a very great,
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			person from the Saliqeen in the history of
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			the Muslims, and he has very fine asha'ar
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			and poetry. If you can go look up
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:31
			Abu Madyan,
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:35
			his his Arabic, they're they're really awesome. And
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			he he made a lot of comments like
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:40
			very insightful comments for being a person who
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			was unable to read and write.
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:44
			And so he he commented about this. He
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46
			goes, Look at what the Maqam of salam
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:48
			Musa was. This verse is dalil that the
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50
			maqam of Allah ta'ala said, Musa is higher
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:51
			than that of Sayyidina Firdir.
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:53
			Why?
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			Because Musa said, if I do if I
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			ask you one more thing,
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:58
			then leave me.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:01
			And what does what happens? Sin al Fiddler
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			will ask him another thing, and Sin al
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:05
			Fiddler will oblige him. He won't he will
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:07
			literally stick to exactly what he said,
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			he will follow, he will obey his commandments.
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:12
			That's how much adabihabit Sayyidina Musa
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			It's a very subtle point, and I think
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			it's lost on a lot of people. Right?
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:18
			That the law of the sharia itself is
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20
			wabi, Allah revealed it to the Prophet
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			And so when we talk about some people
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:26
			get fascinated because the the nafs likes to
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:27
			fixate on the exception and not on the
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:29
			rule. So like, praying 5 times a day
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:32
			is boring, but, like, weird, like,
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:35
			you know, like, oh, like, green stuff grows
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36
			out of the ground where he steps and
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			he went like this and the whole ship
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:40
			sank and whatever. People, like, they wanna fixate
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:41
			on that. They don't wanna, like, pray,
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			you you know, or Jama'ah or whatever.
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			Despite the fact that even the salaf al
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:48
			Asar that came to us, it came through
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:49
			wahbi means.
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:52
			So Sayyidina Musa alayhi wasalam was had a
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54
			rank higher than that of Sayyidina Khidr, this
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:54
			is this
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:56
			Abu Madiyan al Ghoth, he took the
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:57
			the
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:00
			the this verse is Dalil, that Sayyidina Khidr
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			will obey his command. He
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:03
			said
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:04
			that
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:06
			if
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:10
			Don't take my keep my
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			companionship if I ask you about anything else.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:15
			So they keep going,
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			and then they stop at a place where,
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			you know, you know, you can't just there's
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22
			not like a chunky chicken and you Kandahar
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			kebab house like every place you go to
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			eat in the ancient world.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			There's no demi shimi that you can go
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			and like grab a coffee or whatever.
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			When you go to a place,
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			you have to depend on the hospitality of
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:35
			the locals.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:37
			Why? If they don't give you any hospitality,
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:39
			you don't have anything because these types of
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:39
			business
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:42
			don't exist in that time. And so what
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			happens is that,
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:45
			they go to a place and they ask
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			them, can we stay the night with you?
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:50
			And the people refused, they stone cold refused.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51
			And so
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:54
			Nadal, great, what are we gonna do now?
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:56
			So when they're on their way out, there's
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:57
			a wall that's crumbling.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00
			Right? And said the Musa alaihi salam are
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			understandably upset that these people I mean, generally
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:04
			people used to extend those courtesies to one
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:07
			another. The sunnah Khidr alaihi sama makes ishaha,
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			he he gestures with his finger and that
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:12
			wall that's crumbling it it becomes upright again.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			So Sayidina Musa, Alaihi Salam, says to him,
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:15
			he says, man, these guys didn't even let
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			us stay here and you're repairing their buildings.
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19
			We should at least charge them for that.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:26
			This this is where we part company.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:29
			So,
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			But before I leave,
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:37
			I will explain to you those things that
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			you didn't understand that I didn't.
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:40
			He said, As for the ship
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:42
			that was sank,
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44
			the king
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:45
			was
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46
			going to,
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:48
			conscribe,
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50
			you know, what a conscript is? It's when
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53
			they when they force regular people to join
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55
			the army. The king was going
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:56
			to conscribe
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:57
			that ship,
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			and this poor man, this is the only
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:01
			means of livelihood that he had, He was
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:02
			a good man. Oh, I love this man.
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:05
			Imagine he's just sees say the Muslim said
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:06
			there and gives him a free ride. So,
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			you know, he's a good person. Allah loves
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11
			this person. So when the king's,
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:14
			lackeys and and and and henchmen come to
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:15
			take the ships
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:17
			to put in the service of the navy,
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:20
			they'll see that it's it's,
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21
			not functional.
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25
			And he'll be able to repair it really
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			easily afterward and he'll still be able to
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28
			go on making his livelihood.
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:32
			This is an important point. We a lot
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			of times we make weird plans and Allah
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:35
			knows better.
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37
			And when our own plans get,
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:40
			get get scuttled, we get really upset.
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:43
			And, the fact of the matter is is
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			that
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			Allah's plans for us are better than our
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:47
			own plans for ourselves.
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:50
			And our entire
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:53
			the Uliya and Salihim, they're beautiful people. They
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			show us like how a person what their
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:56
			adab should be with
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:00
			Allah. Like, for example, I don't know if
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:01
			anyone here from Pakistan. If you remember, I
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:02
			think, like, 2006,
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:06
			2005, there's a the Fokker prop plane that
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:08
			PIA used to use, a propeller plane. There's
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:09
			a flight from Multan, I think from Multan
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			to Karachi, and it crashed.
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:15
			And so what happened was there was a
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:16
			a a a brother who
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19
			who was supposed to take that, was supposed
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21
			to take that flight. Don't tell me, like,
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:23
			7:30 and then make a shot off for
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:25
			5 minutes, man. Come on, man. Look at
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27
			this guy. He's he's messing with me now.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:30
			Right? So that that prop plane, this person
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			comes to the comes to the, the counter
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:35
			and he's late. He gets, like, gets there
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			15 minutes before the flight's supposed take off
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:38
			and he's arguing arguing, they're saying, no, we're
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:40
			not gonna let you on, no, you let
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:42
			me on, and they're yelling and screaming. So
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:43
			what happens is that,
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:46
			the the person behind the desk, he says,
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:49
			look. The plane is taking off right now.
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:51
			Go watch it take off, and, then you
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:53
			can ask me to check you into the
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:53
			plane afterward.
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:55
			So
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:58
			he's just really upset and goes outside, and
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			he literally sees the plane might take off,
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:01
			sputter,
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:05
			boom, done, crashed, everyone died in everyone died
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:07
			in that that flight. And he just broke
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:08
			down and started crying.
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:09
			Why?
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:11
			Because the choice of Allah ta'ala for us
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13
			is better than our choice for ourselves.
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:15
			Maybe for the people who died in the
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:17
			plane, that was also better as well. We
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19
			don't know Allah ta'ala knows. This is a
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:22
			very small example from our time because we're
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:23
			small people.
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:26
			The examples from the history of Islam are
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:27
			like are amazing.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:29
			So, in the Kasr al Mahjub,
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:32
			there's a story written about one of the
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:35
			Masai. His name is Muhammad Khair and Asaj.
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:37
			His name was Muhammad.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			And so he was a very he was
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			like one of the salihim.
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			He wanted to go from Baghdad to go
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:43
			to Hajj.
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:44
			So
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:46
			they used to prepare for the Hajj and,
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:47
			you know, nowadays what when we go for
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:49
			Hajj, our preparations like, what hotel are you
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:50
			staying at? I'm gonna buy this. I'm gonna
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:52
			buy that. I'm gonna go shopping in this
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:53
			place. That They didn't used to do Hajj
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:55
			like that. This is like I don't wanna
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:57
			say it's not a Hajj, but it's not
		
00:48:57 --> 00:48:58
			a Hajj when you compare it to the
		
00:48:58 --> 00:48:58
			Hajj of
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:00
			our elders in Masha'i.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:02
			So what happens is that, when he gets
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:03
			to Basra, which is the next city on
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:04
			the route to
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:07
			on the caravan to Hajj for Hajj, he's
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09
			in the markets of Basra and a man
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:12
			brings a police officer, and he's he points
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			to him and says, this is my slave.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			His name is Khair. He ran away from
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:18
			me. And the police officers, they arrest him
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			and they bring him,
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:22
			in captivity to this man who essentially lied,
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			enslaved him by,
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			by crook and lied that this person was
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:27
			a slave, he's not a slave.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:29
			And so what happened is he said, I
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:30
			thought,
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:31
			you know, I went out of the path
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			of Allah Ta'ala and this is Allah Ta'ala's
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:34
			choice for me so I'm not gonna fight
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:36
			it. We'll see maybe there's some some good
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			in this. So he served that man for
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:39
			4 years.
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			And then one day after 4 years, he
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:44
			comes to him crying. He says, you know
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:45
			that I was lying, and that you're not
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:47
			my slave, and that,
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			that that I cheated
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:52
			you. Even but despite that you served me
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:53
			This is again one of those stories you
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:54
			don't try to set at home. If someone
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:55
			tries to enslave you, you'd be like, *
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:57
			no man, like, I'm out of here. Right?
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59
			But like you know, those people they they
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:01
			they were big people so these types of
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:03
			things work out for them. Right? So he
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:04
			says he says
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:06
			he says this man comes to him crying
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:07
			and says, I cheated you, and you took
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			such good care of me. You treated me
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11
			with so much love that you never that
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:14
			you never, sacking in my service to the
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:15
			point where you you you served me with
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:18
			love. And he says, please forgive me, I'm
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:18
			sorry.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:21
			And, and so he forgave him and then
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:22
			he went on to Hajj, you know he
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:24
			went on to complete his Hajj. Later on
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:26
			when he would introduce himself to people,
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			he would introduce himself as Khair, my name
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			is Khair, even though that
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:34
			was his like his slave name, right?
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			And people would say, Why do you introduce
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			yourself as Khayr? That's not even your name,
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41
			that was like the fake name this guy
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:44
			claimed that you had. He said what? He
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:46
			says because the name that Allah gave me
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:47
			is more beloved to me than the name
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:49
			my mother gave me.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:52
			Again, don't try it at home but the
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:53
			idea is what?
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			Is that that there are certain things that
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:56
			happen,
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:58
			and Allah
		
00:50:58 --> 00:50:59
			promised you that it's good for you and
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			you don't understand how. When you think of
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:03
			what happened, nobody's like happy that their plane
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:05
			crashed, or that they missed a flight or
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			that, like, you know, someone enslaved them or
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			nobody I got into a car accident, I
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:10
			got sick, my dog died, what no. Nobody's
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:12
			gonna be happy about that. When you think
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:14
			about the thing, that's normal. Right? You're a
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			human being, and you kinda should be sad
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:18
			about these things. If you're like a normal
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:19
			human being, not some sort of like mentally
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			drained person. Right?
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23
			When you think about that thing, you should
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:25
			be sad. But when you think about the
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:26
			one who made the decision,
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:29
			then it should give you some happiness that
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:30
			this is what my rafter
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:31
			chose for me,
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:33
			and he chose better for me.
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:36
			So the second story what? He says that
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			that child that that that that was killed,
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:41
			so that his parents were pious people, and
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			he would have grown up and and and
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:45
			been a renegade from his parents, and he
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:45
			would have
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:47
			caused them grief, and he would have caused
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			them takleef, and he would have died on
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:50
			kufr,
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:52
			and
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:54
			in deviance.
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:56
			So we took his life now so that
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:58
			he would be forgiven and would and Allah
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:00
			that would give them another child that's more
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:01
			appropriate for them.
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:03
			Imagine that there's a hadith of the prophet
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:05
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam. If anyone has lost
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			a child, I don't I couldn't even fathom
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:08
			what it's like.
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:10
			But look at the the the deen of
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:11
			Allah ta'ala
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:13
			that, there's a hadith of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:15
			alaihi wa sallam that the angels,
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:18
			someone's child dies, Allah asked the angels,
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			you know, did he complain about me? They
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:23
			say, no. What did he do when he
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:25
			when he when he got the news that
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:26
			his child died?
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:28
			He he said he he he praised you,
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:29
			you Allah,
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:30
			and he said,
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:33
			we belong to Allah and to him do
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:34
			we return.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36
			And he was he used he he praised
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:38
			you. And so
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:39
			Allah will tell the the angels,
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			build for for my slave a house in
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:42
			Jannah,
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:45
			and call it the Baytul Hamd, the house
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:46
			of praise.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:50
			Imagine that that this world is a place
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:51
			that that we put so much hope in,
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:53
			even though we know it's all gonna end.
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			And this world we put so much hope
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:56
			in it, even though we know this is
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
			the place of death, this is the place
		
00:52:58 --> 00:52:59
			of disappointment,
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:01
			this is the place of being separated from
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:02
			the one that you love, This is the
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			place of getting into fights and and disputes
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:06
			with people. This is the place of hearing
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:08
			bad news, and seeing bad things happen.
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:11
			That's the place of what? Of of love,
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:12
			and that's the place of being together with
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:14
			the ones that you love, and that's a
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:15
			place of happiness, and that's a place where
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:17
			no one ever is sick, no one ever
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:17
			dies,
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:19
			and it lasts forever and ever.
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:22
			So,
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:24
			imagine when a person enters into that daughter,
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:25
			are they going to worry about what happened
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:27
			in this world anymore? Absolutely not.
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:30
			But there are some people, if something small
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:32
			have forget about losing a child, something small
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:33
			happens to them, it's, why me? I'm a
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:35
			Muslim, I pray 5 times a year.
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:38
			Like as if you're, you know, like Allah
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:40
			is your, like, you know, like you He
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:42
			owes you something. He doesn't owe anybody anything.
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:44
			He doesn't owe his prophets. Why would he
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46
			owe you and me? Rasulullah, salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			sallam says, nobody will enter Jannah except for
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:50
			through Allah's mercy. He said, even you, you
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:52
			Rasulullah. He said, even me. If we were
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:54
			to say that about the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:55
			wa sallam, it would have been disrespect.
		
00:53:56 --> 00:53:57
			But he said it why? In order to
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:59
			convey a meaning from the meanings of revelation
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:01
			that need to be conveyed to us.
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:03
			So the third story is what about that
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:04
			wall.
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:05
			And so
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:08
			he said about that wall that it belonged
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:09
			to 2
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:10
			orphan children,
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:11
			he hid their,
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15
			inheritance underneath it because you can't just go
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:15
			and put it in the bank. It's like
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17
			the law of the jungle. Right?
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:23
			I have a friend, Mashalom Gudrati public here.
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:24
			I have a Memen friend, so it's kinda
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:26
			like, you know, birds of a feather fucking
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:28
			together. So he said that he said that
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:29
			if I have
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:31
			5,000 doll if I have,
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:32
			$5,000
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			or So no. What he's saying is, if
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:37
			I owe you $500, that's my problem. If
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:38
			I owe you
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			$5,000,000,000 that's your problem.
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:43
			Why? Because you have all this money, what
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:44
			are you gonna do with it? How are
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:46
			you gonna defend it? What are you, how
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			are you gonna manage all of it? Right?
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:50
			And so they have this this this, inheritance,
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:52
			and they're young, they can't defend it yet,
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:54
			and so their father hid it underneath that
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:56
			wall, and it was crumbling.
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59
			And the mufassilin say that when it says,
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			that their father was
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:04
			a righteous man. It's not the father who
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:05
			left the inheritance for them. He was just
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:06
			a normal dude.
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:08
			He was probably a good person, but just
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:11
			a more regular person. That person for whose
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:15
			sake Allah protected those children was their 7th
		
00:55:15 --> 00:55:16
			lineal ancestor.
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:20
			Fathers, fathers, fathers, fathers, fathers, fathers, father.
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:25
			Don't think that you ever do anything good
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:26
			for the sake of Allah and He's going
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:28
			to forget it. That good deed will last
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:29
			forever. Imagine,
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:32
			right? Everything in this universe has some purpose.
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:34
			There may be a family, the lineage of
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:36
			which is kufr for a 100 generations.
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:39
			Only one person in that entire family was
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:40
			born an iman, that person is the reason
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:42
			all those other people exist.
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:43
			Just one person saying,
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:46
			1 person saying, Allah Allah is the reason
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:48
			that the entire universe exists, and this is
		
00:55:48 --> 00:55:49
			our belief that once that leaves from this
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			world, the will start because there's no point
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			in this universe existing anymore.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:57
			So these are Laduni lessons that that were
		
00:55:57 --> 00:55:58
			taught to say to Musa alayhi salam, and
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:01
			this opened the door to that world. Now
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:02
			tell me something.
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:04
			Imam Bukhari
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:06
			his book was accepted
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:08
			from the Ummah, and everybody knows who Buhari
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:10
			is. Everyone reads his book. He's getting,
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:13
			you know, to this day.
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:16
			Right? Literally different groups of Muslims fight with
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:16
			each other,
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:19
			about matters of deen, and each of them
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:20
			brings the proof from Bukhari.
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:22
			They can't agree on anything, but they can
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:23
			agree on Bukhari.
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:26
			Right? This is tawhid from Allah
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:28
			Now when Bukhari
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:31
			it's well known that when he would
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:32
			enter
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:34
			a a hadith into his book, after all
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:36
			of the academic y stuff and all the
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:39
			research and all of the refinement and, you
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:41
			know, debating whether to include the hadith or
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:43
			not, what would he do? He would read
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:45
			2 rakahs and ask Allah ta'ala for his
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:45
			help.
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:48
			Now what was he doing there? Is it
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:49
			just because he's like a movie and he
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:50
			likes reading namaz?
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:55
			What is it? There are stories like this.
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
			Right? Shah Abdul Qadr, he wrote the first
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:59
			of sorry, translation of the Quran in Urdu,
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			and it took him 7 years to write
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:03
			it. And he was in the atika for
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:05
			the entire 7 years fasting by day and
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:07
			praying by night. And in a state of
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:09
			fasting, he wrote that he he wrote what
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:09
			he wrote.
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:10
			What is that?
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13
			Right? Literally people, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, would
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:14
			give Sayna Umar
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:16
			and for some reason, if somebody tells the
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:18
			miracles of any of the masha'iks, everyone is
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20
			like, Sheikh Kufr, these are just fake stories,
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:22
			but you tell us miracles to Sayyidina Umar,
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:24
			everyone's like, awesome. Yeah. You know? Sayyidina Umar
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:26
			radhiallahu Muhammad literally, he one day he was
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:28
			giving the Jumah Sotba
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:30
			and he turned to he turned to the,
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:33
			he turned to the northeast
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:34
			and he says,
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:36
			So Saria is a commander and he has
		
00:57:37 --> 00:57:39
			a detachment of Sahaba radiyaahu anhu, and they're
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:40
			about to get ambushed,
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:43
			by the by by the Persians. And Sayyidina
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45
			Umar radiyaahu anhu, Allah ta'ala,
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:47
			you know,
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:50
			he brought his attention to this ambush, and
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:53
			through miraculous and supernatural means, he got that
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:55
			information, and through miraculous and super supernatural means,
		
00:57:55 --> 00:57:57
			he conveyed it to Saudi and his army
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:00
			And then they returned to Madinah, and they
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:02
			said, we heard you and we avoided the
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:05
			ambush. We found that your warning was true.
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:06
			Now someone might say, oh, these are just
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:08
			tall tales. You know, all your bearded people
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:09
			make this stuff up. Let me tell you
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:11
			something. You know what we didn't make up?
		
00:58:11 --> 00:58:14
			The Muslims actually crushed the Persian Empire. They
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:16
			trampled it underneath their feet. It never made
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:18
			a comeback. Never.
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:19
			It was gone.
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:22
			From that time until now, the Persian Empire
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:24
			was such a powerful world empire,
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:28
			just some years before that they completely handed
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:31
			the Roman empire there's something on a plate.
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:36
			Not just once, for centuries they used to
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:39
			do that. If you remember from your history,
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:41
			right? The triumvirate Julius Caesar Pompey,
		
00:58:42 --> 00:58:45
			and the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus, who
		
00:58:45 --> 00:58:47
			was a hard something by any standard. He
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:49
			made his he's a wealthy man, he made
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:51
			his money by making the first fire department
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:53
			in Rome, but it wasn't like our fire
		
00:58:53 --> 00:58:55
			department. What he would do is he'd have
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:57
			like these wagons filled with water and mechanisms
		
00:58:57 --> 00:58:59
			to pump the water, and so if you
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:00
			heard a building was on fire, he would
		
00:59:00 --> 00:59:02
			show up with his fire truck, and he
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:04
			would start negotiating with the owner. He'd be
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:06
			like, look, your building is gonna be worth
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:09
			0 in about an hour. Okay? So sell
		
00:59:09 --> 00:59:11
			it to me for like 30% of the
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:12
			cost and,
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:14
			or pay me half of the price of
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:16
			the building and I'll I'll put the fire
		
00:59:16 --> 00:59:18
			out. Otherwise, I'll just pick it up from
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:19
			you later on for like almost nothing because
		
00:59:19 --> 00:59:21
			nobody else is gonna give you anything. He
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:22
			was a jerk, and he was a battle
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:24
			hardened he was a battle hardened,
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:27
			general.
		
00:59:27 --> 00:59:30
			Okay? He took a Roman legion out to
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:30
			fight the Persians.
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:33
			The Persians smashed his legions into pieces and
		
00:59:33 --> 00:59:35
			they killed him on the battlefield as well.
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:39
			And the Sahaba on whom, right, the Persians
		
00:59:39 --> 00:59:41
			were so technically advanced. To this day, Persian
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:43
			people have a pride about their their their
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:46
			ancestry. They're so technically advanced that they could
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:50
			they could build, like, architectural marvels. Right? I
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:51
			was supposed to end the ban 10 minutes
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:52
			ago and it's not a ban about the
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:54
			Earth Persian empire, but what what am I
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:55
			saying? Right? If you're saying that this is
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:57
			a tall tale that's in the Amr when
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:59
			we received help from Allah Ta'ala, well guess
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:01
			what's not a tall tale? The Sahaba
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:03
			like straight up took him to school. Right?
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:05
			They never made a comeback after that.
		
01:00:05 --> 01:00:07
			Right? Think about that. Is that a tall
		
01:00:07 --> 01:00:09
			tale? Absolutely not.
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:12
			So the point is is this, is that
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:13
			Allah says in his book,
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:17
			Fear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and he'll teach
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:18
			you something that you didn't know from before.
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:21
			But we think we can do it on
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:22
			our own.
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:24
			We think we don't need Him. We don't
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:25
			need to access that knowledge.
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:26
			We
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:28
			needed more than other people needed.
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:31
			Islam didn't make it to Thorncliff,
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:34
			without that help from Allah
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			And we need it really badly. We're in
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:39
			a bad situation, we're in a bad position.
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:41
			In America, in Canada, in England, in the
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:44
			Muslim world itself, everywhere we're in a bad
		
01:00:44 --> 01:00:46
			situation. We need it more than others. So
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:48
			So next time your and your tells you,
		
01:00:48 --> 01:00:50
			you know, don't look at the haram, don't
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:51
			watch
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:55
			right? Don't eat eat a machine slaughtered chicken
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:57
			or eat the haram. Don't, you know, you
		
01:00:57 --> 01:00:58
			know, don't do all of these, you know,
		
01:00:58 --> 01:01:00
			don't skip your sunnahs and all of these
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:02
			things. Why is he saying that to you?
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:03
			Is it just because he's a jerk and
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:04
			he wants your, you know, he wants your
		
01:01:04 --> 01:01:05
			life to be ruined and that you don't
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:06
			have No.
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:09
			Nobody wants that. Trust me. All of these
		
01:01:09 --> 01:01:11
			pleasures are there in jannah. You'll see your
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:12
			own malaasab,
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:14
			your own kalisab, your own all of these
		
01:01:14 --> 01:01:17
			people in jannah, they'll have like 70 wives
		
01:01:17 --> 01:01:18
			and they'll be drinking wine.
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:20
			You won't know how to enjoy it. They'll
		
01:01:20 --> 01:01:21
			show you how to enjoy on that day.
		
01:01:23 --> 01:01:24
			They're human beings.
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:27
			This is for your own good. This is
		
01:01:27 --> 01:01:28
			for our own good as individuals and as
		
01:01:28 --> 01:01:30
			an ummah, In this world and in the
		
01:01:30 --> 01:01:32
			hereafter, that we need the help of Allah
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:34
			so badly in this world, and we're gonna
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:36
			need it even more badly in the hereafter.
		
01:01:36 --> 01:01:37
			This is how we can tap into that
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:40
			help, and it's not a joke. The proof
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:42
			I have is that Islam wouldn't have made
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:42
			it.
		
01:01:43 --> 01:01:44
			From one side of the world to the
		
01:01:44 --> 01:01:46
			other. Every if you read history, always the
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:49
			Muslims are out outnumbered, always they're a minority,
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:51
			always they have no money, always they have
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:53
			no technology. The sahaba radiAllahu, one whom like
		
01:01:53 --> 01:01:55
			you you remember when the, they dug the
		
01:01:55 --> 01:01:58
			trench, the handout in Madina Munawarra?
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:00
			And then the Arabs. Right? Those people become
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:02
			Muslims relatively soon after. They're like, oh, that's
		
01:02:02 --> 01:02:04
			really tricky. Like, they didn't even it didn't
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:05
			even occur to them that that's a thing
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:06
			to do.
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:10
			So many things when they met the Persians
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:11
			and they met the Romans the first time,
		
01:02:11 --> 01:02:12
			this is like the first time they saw
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:14
			chaul, man. Like really, literally, there's like reports
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:15
			of the
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:17
			when they saw, they cooked rice, and then
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:19
			what is it? This must be some like
		
01:02:19 --> 01:02:21
			poison whatever. I'm not and some people like,
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:22
			yo, I'm hungry and it looks good. I'm
		
01:02:22 --> 01:02:24
			gonna try. And they didn't die, and the
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:26
			rest of like, that really tasted good. And
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:28
			Muslims have been eating chawl ever since. Right?
		
01:02:28 --> 01:02:30
			They've been eating rice ever since. That's literally
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:31
			how little knowledge they had about the world
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:32
			around them.
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:35
			The Persians are like weird, like
		
01:02:35 --> 01:02:37
			advanced trigonometry,
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:40
			and like astronomy, and all of these, like,
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:41
			advanced sciences
		
01:02:41 --> 01:02:43
			from the times of the ancients. They preserved
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:46
			all of them. And the Sahaba, radiAllahu, on
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:48
			whom, when Iqra came, only 10 people in
		
01:02:48 --> 01:02:50
			Mak Kharmak even knew how to
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:53
			read. That's I mean, they had such low
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:54
			literacy that the Prophet
		
01:02:54 --> 01:02:57
			imagine that he said, whoever whoever from the
		
01:02:57 --> 01:02:59
			captives of Badr can teach 10 Muslims how
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:00
			to read. That's like a big deal to
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:02
			them. So we'll free you if you can
		
01:03:02 --> 01:03:04
			teach 10 Muslims how to read.
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:07
			But what was it? That knowledge what you
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:08
			know, they had to catch up with it,
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:09
			and they caught up with it, alhamdulillah.
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:11
			I'm not saying it's not important. It's important
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:13
			to learn all that stuff. Go take calculus.
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:16
			And go learn calculus of differential equations. Don't
		
01:03:16 --> 01:03:19
			take and tell people about entropy and enthalpy
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:20
			and Gibbs free energy and Helmholtz.
		
01:03:21 --> 01:03:22
			I tell people about all of these things.
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:24
			Right? Scare them and let them know that,
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:26
			you know, that real him you have it.
		
01:03:26 --> 01:03:27
			You know, you gotta put people in check
		
01:03:27 --> 01:03:29
			sometimes for their own good. Right? Go ahead
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:30
			and do all that. But at the end
		
01:03:30 --> 01:03:32
			of the day, that's not what gets the
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:34
			job done. What gets the job done, the
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35
			person who can realize the shoe rack is
		
01:03:35 --> 01:03:37
			not everything. They can enter in and see
		
01:03:37 --> 01:03:39
			the whole rest of the world. Allah will
		
01:03:39 --> 01:03:41
			show ajib and harai, but that's how the
		
01:03:41 --> 01:03:42
			deen got here and that's how it's gonna
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:44
			make it somewhere else. Allah
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:47
			make us from amongst his from amongst his,
		
01:03:47 --> 01:03:48
			poor and needy
		
01:03:49 --> 01:03:49
			slaves
		
01:03:50 --> 01:03:51
			that need him,
		
01:03:51 --> 01:03:53
			so badly, and that from his fafl and
		
01:03:53 --> 01:03:55
			his karam that he wake up something something
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:56
			inside of our hearts, and he opens some
		
01:03:56 --> 01:03:57
			door inside
		
01:03:57 --> 01:03:58
			of our hearts that we can also have
		
01:03:58 --> 01:03:59
			access to that help, that we we're most
		
01:03:59 --> 01:03:59
			sorely in need of,
		
01:04:03 --> 01:04:05
			and so that we can fulfill what we
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:07
			need to do for ourselves and our families,
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:09
			and for the ummah of the prophet salallahu
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:11
			alayhi wasallam in this world, and that that
		
01:04:11 --> 01:04:12
			help also them,
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14
			save us on the day of judgment.
