Brothers and sisters,

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

this is a Mubarak occasion, and this is

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

a a Mubarak work.

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

The work of the dissemination

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

of sacred knowledge,

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

this is the work of the.

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

Rasulullah

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

said that the best of you are the

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

ones who teach the Quran,

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

the ones who learn the Quran, and the

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

ones who teach it.

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

And inside the

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

inside the tent of this concept of teaching

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

the Quran and learning it

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

Reside all of the subsidiary sciences that are

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

required in order to

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

know and understand the Quran.

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

The great amount of complexity, the great amount

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

of detail

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

that is

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

resident inside of this tent,

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

it's something that boggles the mind of normal

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

people.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

Normal people, when confronted with

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

the sheer amount of information and the

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

sheer amount of

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

knowledge that's required in order to

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

in order to,

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

keep all of this information in a way

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

that

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

is beneficial to a person,

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

it's something that

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

many people who are not acquainted with

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

the the the the art and the skill

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

of teaching and learning,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

they find it overwhelming the question what the

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

point of it is.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

Brothers and sisters, there is a point.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he's the one who

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

designated what? That the or the

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

that the scholars are the heirs of the

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

prophets

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

Who is your heir?

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

Who inherits from you when you die?

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

In the sharia of Islam,

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

when a person

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

has an uncle, their cousin will not inherit.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

Why? Because the uncle is closer to them

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

in relation.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

When a person has a brother, their uncle

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

will not inherit. Why? Because the brother is

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

closer to them in relation.

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

When a person has a father or a

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

son, then the brother will not inherit. Why?

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

Because the father and son are closer to

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

them in relation.

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

So when Rasulullah

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

says what? That the are the what is

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

he trying to say?

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

That the are the heirs of the prophet

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

He's saying that in this, the ones whose

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

state and status and how is closest to

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

that of the prophet,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

who are they?

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

They're the people of knowledge.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

And the knowledge meant here is not the

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

knowledge of being a doctor. It's not the

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

knowledge of being an engineer. It's not the

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

knowledge of being a lawyer.

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

Even though all of these knowledges are important,

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

and all of them are a a a

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

duty, a a kifaya, an communal obligation upon

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

the

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

to learn and preserve and benefit from.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

However, these are not the things that are

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

meant by,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

by the, references

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

to knowledge both in the Quran and the

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

sunnah of the prophet

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

primarily.

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

What's primarily meant? It's the knowledge of revelation.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

That someone should sit and learn from

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

to the end of the alphabet, and that

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

they should learn to read the Quran,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

and they should then learn the language of

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

the Quran, then they should learn the grammar

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

of the Quran, that they should then understand

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

how to

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

extract from it its rulings, both in the

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

creed, the belief of a Muslim,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

which resides in the mind,

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

and the Sharia, the sacred law, the fiqh,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

which resides on the limbs,

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

and the

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

and the of the deen, which resides inside

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

of what? It resides inside of the spiritual

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

heart.

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

This is the job of those people who

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

have this knowledge.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

Those people are described as how? They're described

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

by the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

sallam, as what?

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

Imam ibn Abdul Bar. Qadhi ibn Abdul Bar.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

He was, Al Mullatta Be Hafiz and Masrib,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

that he was the Hafiz of the west.

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

The west means what? The western Muslim lands.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

And the word Hafiz here doesn't mean that

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

he can, masha'a, trade

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

spaces with another,

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

Hafiz and and speak through

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

and make, like, only 3 or 4 mistakes

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

every night. No.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

This doesn't mean that. This means somebody who

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

has at least anecdotally memorized

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

over a 100,000 hadith of the prophet sallallahu

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

alaihi wa sallam,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

both in their text and in their chain

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

of narration.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

Despite having lived after the Imam Bukhari and

00:04:51 --> 00:04:52

Imam Muslim,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

he doesn't need to quote hadith from Bukhari

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

and Muslim. He has his own chains of

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

narration that he quotes from. So

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

from amongst the great number of beneficial books

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

that he wrote, one of his books is

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

called the,

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

is called the the the book of the

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

gathering of the

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

virtues of

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

knowledge. The virtues of knowledge. And he quotes

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

a hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

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

sallam. And which said, Anas ibn Malik

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

narrates That their ulema are who? They're the

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

trustees of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

when it comes to taking charge over the

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

slaves of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

The ulema are what? They're the trustees of

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Who is

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

Rasulullah?

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

Rasulullah is a trustee of Allah ta'ala.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

And who are the ulema? They're the ones

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

who the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

entrusted that you take charge of the rebadah

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

of of Allah ta'ala. You take charge of

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

the slaves of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

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

This is something that we don't take seriously

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

anymore.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

This is something we don't take seriously anymore

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

as a community.

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

This is something that we sometimes Allah forgive

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

us as students of knowledge

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

and as people of knowledge, people who teach

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

and learn

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

daily for a living as our primary occupation.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

Oftentimes, we don't take these things seriously. Guess

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

what? Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam took them

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

seriously.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

He said that they're what? That they're the

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. They are the

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

trustees of Allah ta'ala over his slaves as

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

long as.

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

Tadeh bin Abdul Bar, he writes in in

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

in in clarification of what this means.

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

But the prophet

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

said that they are the trustees of this

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

ummah. They're the trustees over the slaves of

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as long as they

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

don't mix with the mix with the government

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

or mix with temporal power, temporal authority.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

Badi ibn Abdul Bar, he clarifies that this

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

doesn't mean that every alim has to be

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

far from centers of power and centers of

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

control and centers of of of of nifas,

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

of execution of the sacred law of Islam.

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

Rather, this is a warning not against temporal

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

power. This is a warning against associating with

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

corrupt power.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

Meaning what?

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

Meaning, if you look at the prophet sallallahu

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

alaihi wa sallam's life, who is the one

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

who ran the government in Madinah during his

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

life?

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

He didn't say, no. We have no nothing

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

to do with the dunya. We're just gonna

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

sit and pray and say, you know, allah

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

allah in the corner, and we're going to,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

just leave that to the the people of

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

the dunya. No. Rasulullah sallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

prayed, and his prayer is better than our

00:07:34 --> 00:07:34

prayer.

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

And he sat and made zikr Allah. Allah,

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

his zikr was better than our zikr. And

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

he also took the reins of society and

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

made it a better place, and it was

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

a better society than our society.

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

And after him, say the Abu Bakr Siddiq

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

who is the best of this ummah after

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

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

by the consensus of the people of guidance

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

as a matter of

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

and after him, say, and after him, say,

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

and after him, say,

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

This is what? This is the complete implementation

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

of Islam. This is the meaning of this.

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

This is the meaning of this, hadith of

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

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that they

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

were the trustees of the messenger of Allah

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam over the slaves of,

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

of Allah as

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

long as they don't

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24

mix with tyrants, mix with the temporal authority

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

and the temporal power that uses that power

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

for wrong.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

Continues in the hadith as is narrated by,

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

That if they do that, if you see

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

people of knowledge who take this knowledge with

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

them and they then go in front of

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

the kings and the princes, the governors, the

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

presidents, the prime ministers, the people of money,

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

and they what? They they beg at that

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

that threshold

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

rather than telling them and instructing them in

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

in how to care for the creation of

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, you see them begging,

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

You see them making ruku and sajdah in

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

those places.

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

Then Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, in

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

that case, as an exception, what should you

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

do? He says that what? He said that

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

those people in that case,

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

that they have they have

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

shown treachery to not just the prophet

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

to all of the messengers of Allah sallallahu

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

alaihi musaatoasalaam.

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

In that case, they've shown treachery to all

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

of the messengers of Allah alaihi musaatoasalaam.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

And in that case, what should you do?

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

You should be weary of them. You should

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

be afraid of them, what's gonna come from

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

their mouth, and you should stay away from

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

them. Don't sit in their masj list. Don't

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

give money to their projects, don't read their

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

books and their articles, don't promote them what

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

they have to say. Stay away from them.

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

Cut yourself, cut your ties between you and

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

between them.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

And by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's fadl, there

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

is in the ummah of the prophet sallallahu

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

alaihi wa sallam as a matter of and

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

as a matter of iman, a group of

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

people who will be

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

the inheritors of the prophet

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

and the ones that are entrusted with this

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

deen

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

from Allah to Allah to the rest of

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

Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and from the

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

Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

to the ummah of the prophet

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

from the time of all the way until

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

the

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

that group of people will be there, and

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

it's mentioned in Sahih Bukhari amongst a number

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

of other books of hadith that what? Those

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

people will be. Those people will always be

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

there. They will be someone if you look

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

for them, you'll find them. There'll be people

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

who will not be hidden. They're not going

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

to be hidden in a closet, and they're

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

gonna say that, oh, you know, every one

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

of the for the last 4 centuries and

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

for the last 10 centuries has been wrong

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

except for me. I'm the one who,

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

preserves the special sacred knowledge of the imam

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

of this and that, and now I'm gonna

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

divulge a secret to you that everybody didn't

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

know about. No. That they're

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

They're openly proclaiming the truth, and in and

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

and in

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

that the ones that that that oppose those

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

people the ones that oppose those people, they're

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

not going to be able to harm them.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

Now why is it in this occasion I

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

wanted to bring up this this this topic

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

and this treatment,

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

with regards to the Haq Abdul Ullama? It's,

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

in many ways, a very pro form a

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

type of speech for a gathering like this.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

The reason is what? The reason is that

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

we have now so many groups, the the

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

the the community in North America

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

and the English speaking Muslim community across the

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

world, throughout Europe and throughout,

00:11:30 --> 00:11:30

the enfranchised,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

westernized and anglophilic,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

minorities inside of the Muslim world. We see

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

people are breaking up into these different groups.

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

They're breaking up into these different groups. So

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

one of them is what? Our ulama from

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

the past, they're they they don't know what

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

they're talking about. They don't understand the world.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

Maybe they understood the world at some time

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

and they don't understand it anymore, and now

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

we need a new interpretation.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

Brothers and sisters, what's the basis for making

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

a judgment saying that you need a new

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

interpretation when you never bothered to learn the

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

old one in the first place?

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

Then in a reaction against these people,

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

we have even more dangerous group of people

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

who are what? People who say, I'm gonna

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

stand and become the defender of the faith

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

and the defender of and the defender of

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

knowledge

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

and the defender of tradition

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

and the defender of

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

and the defender of ill. And those people

00:12:24 --> 00:12:27

also never they're the same as the first

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

group. Why? That they never bothered to learn

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

what that illness.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

They never bothered to learn who those are.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

They never bothered to learn what those old

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

ways that they're defending are.

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

And they think that merely by refuting and

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

shouting down,

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

other people that they're doing some sort of

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

service for the din. Brothers and sisters, the

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

people of Ba'tal refute one another.

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

Don't

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

they don't you don't need revelation for that.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

The Jews refute the Christians. The Christians refute

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

the Jews. The atheists refute the,

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

Yahud and Nasara. The Yahud and Nasara,

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

they refute the atheists. The Buddhists and, Hindus,

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

they refute one another. Long tones in Sanskrit

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

about the virtues of idol worship or about

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

the lack of benefit in idol worship, whether

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

god exists, doesn't exist. These things have have

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

have been done without the need for for

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

any reference or recourse to the Quran or

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

to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23

Refuting falsehood is not gonna get you into

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

Jannah. What is going to get you into

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

Jannah? Knowing the haqq, knowing the truth, and

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

having it live inside of your heart.

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

And so what happens is that now we

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

have the the the leadership

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

and the awe and the attention and imagination

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

of the community is captured by people

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

who give good talks and can refute and

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

hack down all of these different groups.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

Groups that you may not like, they hack

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

them down,

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

like a, like a, like a logger will

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

hack down a tree.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:54

However,

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

they never bothered to learn

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

even the basic most basic sentence of Arabic

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

how to put the grammatical case endings on

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

it.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

These people are just as much of an

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

enemy of the deen as the next person

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

is.

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

Why?

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

Because if you are the specialist in Aqida

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

and you don't know what the beliefs of

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

the Muslims are,

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

your heart is filled with somebody else's beliefs.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

If you didn't learn what the fiqh of

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

the Muslims is, then you operate according to

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

a different fiqh.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

There's no person who is born in this

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

world who by default the Sharia is programmed

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

into their heart. People are born on fitra,

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

yes, but the din needs to be learned

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

from its people. The only one who received

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

the din through through not needing to learn

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

is the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He

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

received it through. Nobody else is going to

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

receive it through. Even then, he received it

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

externally. It wasn't something he generated from the

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

inside

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

Rather, he was the one Allah prepared him

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

to receive it in the best of ways.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

See? The

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

he says that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam

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

this story about his his chest being cut

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

open by the angels and his heart being

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

washed. It didn't happen one time, rather it

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

happened 4 times during the life of the

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. What? So that

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

he could be prepared to receive this deen

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

that came to him.

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

All of us need to receive it from

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

the outside.

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

And the problem is what?

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

As identity politics. Because I was born and

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

my mom and dad told me I'm a

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

Muslim, so I grew up. In order for

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

my ego to be boosted, I need to

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

know that Islam is the the the greatest.

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

Islam is the best. Islam is,

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

you know, is is is

00:15:31 --> 00:15:34

and is dominant over all other things. I

00:15:34 --> 00:15:35

need to believe that because when I say

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

Islam, what do I mean? I mean me.

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

I need to In order to For my

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

ego to survive, I need to be able

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

to push Islam. And the fact of the

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

matter is Islam is the greatest.

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

The fact of the matter is that Islam

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

is dominant over all other things.

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

Not just in physical matters, in intellectual matters,

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

in spiritual matters in this world and in

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

the hereafter as well.

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

How are you going to proclaim it if

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

you don't understand what that Islam is?

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

And what happened what has happened is that

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

we've what? Replace the people who keep this

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

knowledge inside of their hearts

00:16:06 --> 00:16:07

with people who have material

00:16:07 --> 00:16:08

success

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

and have success according to metrics that were

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

not given to us by Allah, Herr Rasool,

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

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

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

Metrics like money,

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

metrics like political power, metrics like metrics like,

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

you know, the number of followers you have

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

on Facebook and Twitter. I remember one of

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

our,

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

very learned and pious man. He said to

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

me, he says, you know, sheikh so and

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

so is bigger than sheikh so and so.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

I said, yeah. Why why do you say

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

that? He says, sheikh a, he has

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

a 10,000 followers on Twitter, and Sheikh b

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

has a 100,000 followers on Twitter. I said,

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

wow, man. That must be a really big

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

deal, man. That's he just it's a whole

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

scale of order that he outdid him. And

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

so the next the next day, I was

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

sitting on Twitter. I saw, a an account

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

called grumpy cat, And it's just pictures of

00:16:56 --> 00:16:58

a cat grimacing. It's the same cat, in

00:16:58 --> 00:16:58

fact.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:02

Apparently, it was, like, subject to some copyright

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

issues and whatnot. It was in the news.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

So I saw grumpy cat. So grumpy cat

00:17:06 --> 00:17:07

has a 1000000 followers.

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

So by that by that standard, grumpy cat

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

is the Sheikh Al Islam. Grumpy cat is

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

the, like, Imam Mahdi of this ummah.

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

Why?

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

Because

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

has 10,000 followers,

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

has a 100,000, and grumpy cat has a1000000.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

Show me how many ulama have a1000000 followers

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

on Twitter or on Facebook.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

This is all nonsense. This is all nonsense.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

All of it is is is what? It's

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

baqwas. It's nonsense.

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

Of Allah

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

on this earth. This is a warning for

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

all of us, for myself and for all

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

of us.

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

We have people, some of them even take

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

the outward

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

the outward appearance of the pious and the

00:17:45 --> 00:17:48

righteous from the past. And they say the

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

speech of the pious and the righteous of

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

the past,

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

not including those who make mohalaf or those

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

who oppose it, inwardly or outwardly.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

What have they brought us to? What have

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

they done?

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

This earth this earth that we live in

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

right now, we're right now in Chicago. Today

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

is a very pleasant day for us.

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

The whole rest of the world, look at

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

the heat map.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

It's record breaking heat in every single country.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

Crops are dying.

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

People are dying.

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

Animals are dying.

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

Why? It's all because of the facade that

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

human beings have made. Because of these

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

and and false metrics of what is success

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

that have been fed to us by people

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

who know nothing about the.

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

All they know is a small amount of

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

the dunya, and even that, that's an amount

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

that only pushes them towards stupidity.

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

The world is dying. Cities that right now

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

are cities. They're going to be underwater in

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

20 years. Watch.

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

Rasulullah

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

mentioned what? He mentioned what?

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

He mentioned that the the the the denizens

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

of the heavens and the denizens of the

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

earth, they constantly make dua to Allah

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

for the for the people

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

for

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

for the one who's teaching good and and

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

spreading good to the people.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

And his he says what? That the

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

from the heavens of the

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

come down on 2 groups of people.

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

The one who constantly strives to clean his

00:19:21 --> 00:19:24

own nafs from the the the filth and

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

the dirtiness of of the animal state of

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

a human being,

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

that you shouldn't be constantly

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

only concerned with what you eat and what

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

you drink. You shouldn't be a bear that

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

you walk around like, what is a snake?

00:19:35 --> 00:19:36

You know what a snake is?

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

That thing will die literally or it will

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

suffocate something. The snake will eat it and

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

then 7, 8 days, all it does is

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

lay around. Why? Because all it is is

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

a head and it's a stomach. It doesn't

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

need anything else. Snake doesn't need to learn

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

how to paint, doesn't need to learn calligraphy,

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

doesn't need to learn how to sing, doesn't

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

need to be a nurturing and caring mother,

00:20:02 --> 00:20:03

doesn't need to be a profound and deep

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

educator, doesn't need to make architecture. It doesn't

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

need any of that stuff.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:10

They're human beings. What is their their their

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

paradigm and their their, example that they look

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

after how how to is a snake. All

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

it is is just consumption.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

All it is is just consumption.

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

1 group of people, the one who constantly

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

purifies themselves from the the filth and the

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

dirtiness of the animal state of a human

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

being.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

Very few people are there like that.

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

Very few people are there like that. I

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

admit I'm not one of them in front

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

of you. That one of you should not

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

say that, Yo Muqiyama, this man stood in

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

front of us and preached a good, a

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

a good, round of preaching, and we thought

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

that he was walking the walk. I'm just

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

merely the messenger.

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

The second group of people is who?

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

The person who is day and night is

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

running back and forth around what is Sahid?

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

Sahid, you could've been to Hajj and Umrah

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

before. Right? You go back and forth between

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

and Marwa. That a person should strive and

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

a person should move quickly back and forth

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

in what?

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

In in in rectifying those things that are

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

broken between people.

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

In healing the broken bonds of family, friendship,

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

in finding someone who has no job and

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

giving him a job, in finding somebody who

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

who's confused and and giving them some sort

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

of solace and peace, in doing something to

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

benefit other human beings.

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

These are the the the the the wadaif.

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

These are the jobs of the

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

the trustees of Allah, his rasul salallahu alayhi

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

wa sallam

00:21:28 --> 00:21:29

amongst the creation of Allah.

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

This is breaking down. Muslims right now have

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

abandoned it just like the kuffar have abandoned

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

it. By Allah's fadul, the knowledge of this

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

of of what not to do is there.

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

It's preserved in the the ummah. As for

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

the nations of the the Muslim world, as

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

for the governments of the Muslim world, as

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

for the people of the Muslim world, as

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

for the attendees in the masajid and the

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

masajid themselves, we have abandoned these things.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:54

So you see,

00:21:55 --> 00:21:58

that Allah made these these animals in the

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

depths of the ocean

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

to what? To make dua. They're one of

00:22:02 --> 00:22:03

the purposes of their creation is to make

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

dua and ask Allah

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

and, for for for blessings and to attract

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

the the mercy of Allah on

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

those in this in this ummah and in

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

this world that are doing good for that

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

are doing good for the creation and are

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

purifying themselves and keeping themselves in a clean

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

state and propagating that clean state. What's happening

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

right now?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

Those trustees are what? Nobody's listening to them

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

or they themselves have checked out?

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

And you read paper stories in the newspaper

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

that they find whales beached

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

on the beaches in the shores of Europe

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

and in Asia and North America and South

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

America and all of these places, and they

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

pump 30 40

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

pounds of plastic out of the the the

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

stomach of, of a of a of a

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

of a of a will that's, like, 70,

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

80 feet long, enough plastic to kill him.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

Who's drinking who's eating and drinking from those

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

plastic containers that are killing these animals?

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

You are and I am.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

Gloves. Those are the people doing it.

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

Because what? My beta is a Hafiz, and

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

he's also making so much money in driving

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

this car.

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

My daughter is a Hafiz and a Aleema,

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

and she's also, you know,

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

made such a high in the dunya as

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

if the two things have any relationship with

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

one another.

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

Is a good person bad because they're poor?

00:23:25 --> 00:23:26

Is a bad person good because they have

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

money

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

or because they consume some some sort of

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

level of consumption

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

that a person who Allah himself

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

describes in his book that they are like

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

cattle. In fact, they're even more misguided than

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

cattle.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

This is what this is why Nawal Academy

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

teaching and

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

teaching people and all of these types of

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

things. This is why this is necessary. This

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

is what's needed.

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

This is what we need. We don't need

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

nut headed people running around and telling people,

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

oh, look. The the the dean has been

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

abandoned because we're not establishing the caliphate right

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

now. Brother, establish the caliphate. You don't even

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

know how to make right now.

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

Don't tell me about the caliphate. Is sitting

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

right here. He's sitting right in front of

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

you. What is the 1st year program in

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

Darul Qasim called? The one in which you

00:24:17 --> 00:24:17

learn

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

and what you learn the 4, grammatical cases

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

and the 6,

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

you know,

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

the prototypes of the

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

paradigms of the mujarad and all of the

00:24:26 --> 00:24:29

most basic things that you learned from for

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

for, what you call from.

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

What is the name of the program? It's

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

the program.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

Janab, our people when is this? The Arabs

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

are gonna be upset, you know, because we're

00:24:38 --> 00:24:39

not from India. You know?

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

In fact, we are who are actually are

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

from India, we're embarrassed that why I don't

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

wanna go to Sheikhil Hinn. It's not gonna

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

look cool in front of the Palestinians and

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

in front of the converts or whatever.

00:24:49 --> 00:24:51

Who is Shekel Hind?

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

These are people they had a superlative

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

concern for what? For establishing

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

the divinely mandated order in this world.

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

If you look at their sacrifices

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

for the sake of what? Implementing the shara

00:25:04 --> 00:25:07

of Allah ta'ala in the Darul Islam. If

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

you look at their sacrifices, what did they

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

go through? That

00:25:12 --> 00:25:15

is literally sleeping in the cold nights of

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

the of the winter in Malta,

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

in a prison island, in solitary confinement,

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

sleeping, huddling a jar of water

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

so that his aged shaykh will die very

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

shortly after being released from prison if one

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

can say such people ever die.

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

That he used to sleep huddled around that,

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

that that that that that jar of water

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

so that his body heat would keep it

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

warm. So that when he woke up from

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

his sleep at night, that his he wouldn't,

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

become ill from making wudu for tahajjud from

00:25:44 --> 00:25:45

cold water.

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

And now, what do we have? We have

00:25:48 --> 00:25:50

people who are obsessed with the dunya. So

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

what the state inside the heart is and

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

what the state inside the mind is, whether

00:25:54 --> 00:25:55

you know how to make or not, or

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

you know how to distribute a,

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

a, a miroth, or you know how to

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

distribute a, tariqa, a a, an estate after

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

someone passes away or not, Whether you know

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

enough about the law of buying and selling

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

and transactions,

00:26:08 --> 00:26:09

forget about

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

starting an an entire country. Right? You don't

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

even know enough about the the law of

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

transactions in order to open a Jewel Osco.

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

You think it's a joke that vegetables every

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

day are coming and going? How much,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:24

you know, how how do you get the

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

cash? Do you imagine can you think of

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

how much cash it costs just to keep

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

the the shelves stocked full of groceries in

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

the grocery store? People haven't thought of any

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

of these things that where you're gonna get

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

that cash from? How are you gonna run

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

any of these businesses? They haven't thought of

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

any of these things. These jokers, they come

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

around and they what? They they they they

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

give Khutba in the same Chicago that we

00:26:43 --> 00:26:44

live in. Forget about it. We don't need

00:26:44 --> 00:26:45

to talk bad about Iraq and Syria and

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

all of these other places. This Chicago that

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

we live in, they're giving the Eid al

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

Khutba, they're giving the Jumah Khutba, they're running

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

youth halakat inside of the masajid,

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55

and they're telling the the kids what? The

00:26:55 --> 00:26:57

ulema are all sellouts because they wasted their

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

time teaching Arabic grammar, and they didn't tell

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

people about the caliphate.

00:27:02 --> 00:27:03

Well, brothers and sisters,

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

there's a group of people who didn't waste

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

their time, quote, unquote, on learning Arabic grammar.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

They set up a caliphate in the backwoods

00:27:09 --> 00:27:12

of a quote, unquote caliphate in the backwoods

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

of Iraq and Syria.

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

Forget about non Muslims. They killed more Muslims

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

than any Kafir government ever did.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:18

Is that what we want? Is that what

00:27:18 --> 00:27:19

the prophet

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

came that send the people, give them guns,

00:27:22 --> 00:27:23

they don't know how to read the Surat

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

Al Fatiha and anybody they disagree with, they

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

call him a Catherine, shoot them on the

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

spot. They destroy Masajid next to the churches

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

that they destroy as well.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

John of Damascus, he said this. The Muslims

00:27:33 --> 00:27:36

are he was a courtier in the, Umayyad

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

court of Abdul Malik bin Marwan. He said

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

the Muslims are misguided people. We don't agree

00:27:40 --> 00:27:43

with their religion. They screwed up Christianity. However,

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

they're good people. Their hearts are good, and

00:27:45 --> 00:27:47

they didn't destroy one of our churches. In

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

fact, they're the ones who protect our churches

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

where the churches weren't protected from our, Roman

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

overlords from the past.

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

Is this what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:27:56 --> 00:27:57

sallam came with?

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

That the sharia should come as a as

00:27:59 --> 00:28:02

a means to, kill people and to destroy

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

people. Guess what? Kids from our own Chicago

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

want to join these nut headed groups.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

What do all of them say? Our olamah

00:28:08 --> 00:28:09

or salaos.

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

Now tell me, where did they get such

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

ideas from?

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

Where did they get such ideas from? Tell

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

me something about our ulema. There was a

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

time the Ottoman Empire passed. It wasn't that

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

long ago. There are still people alive

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

today that were alive during the time of

00:28:23 --> 00:28:24

the Ottoman,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:25

sultanate,

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

which was by no means a perfect system.

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

There is mistakes they made as well. Tell

00:28:29 --> 00:28:32

me, during the Ottoman Empire, were whales coming

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

up dead with, like, £80 of plastic in

00:28:34 --> 00:28:35

their stomach?

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

Was there global warming that they're debating whether

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

or not the the the, you know, sea

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

level should rise in the next 100 years

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

by 1 and a half meters or by

00:28:43 --> 00:28:44

1 meter?

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

Were they were they debating whether the we

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

should keep the global warming at bay at,

00:28:49 --> 00:28:50

3

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

degrees Celsius or 2 degrees Celsius or 1

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

and a half degrees Celsius? During the time

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

of the Ottoman Empire, was there any weapon

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

developed that can destroy

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

90% of the world's population in less time

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

it takes Domino's to deliver a pizza?

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

Absolutely not. This is the cost that we

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

pay for having abandoned for having abandoned this

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

knowledge. And this is the cost that we

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

pay for what? Those people who Allahu the

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

entrusted the ummah to. We turned our backs

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

on them.

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

And those people who were entrusted with that

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

ilm, they also have become slack in upholding

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

this and upholding this trust. Some of them,

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

not all of them. By Allah

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

we have amongst us some people that are

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

not like that.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

This this this issue and this trust, this

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

is something that all of us have to

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

take seriously. All of us

00:29:40 --> 00:29:40

will be asked about in front of Allah

00:29:40 --> 00:29:41

subhanahu wa ta'ala. That did we come and

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

use these people for our own benefits or

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

did we,

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

support these people in this work and did

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

we take this work from them? So

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

to wrap up what has already gone over

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

time by 5 minutes

00:29:53 --> 00:29:56

for for not, you know, sending me a

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

check and try to hack me down. But

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

the the the the the summary is what

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

is that this knowledge is

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

important. And just because a person who has

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

no vision and who is blind, whether they

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

be Muslim or not,

00:30:07 --> 00:30:09

we don't say that everybody who doesn't agree

00:30:09 --> 00:30:11

with what we, say is not a Muslim.

00:30:11 --> 00:30:13

But some people are blind to this this

00:30:13 --> 00:30:14

reality

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

despite their Islam being legally valid and inshallah

00:30:16 --> 00:30:19

acceptable from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The ulema,

00:30:19 --> 00:30:21

they write about this. Right? Ibnu

00:30:21 --> 00:30:24

Mawaq, one of the great scholars of Granada,

00:30:24 --> 00:30:25

he wrote a very beautiful book,

00:30:26 --> 00:30:29

in which he describes 9 different stations of

00:30:29 --> 00:30:31

those people who are going to be saved

00:30:31 --> 00:30:32

on the day of judgment.

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

The lowest bracket or the highest bracket are

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

those people who will go straight to Jannah.

00:30:36 --> 00:30:39

The middle bracket is those people who will,

00:30:39 --> 00:30:42

those people who, Allah ta'ala will overlook their

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

sins. And the lowest bracket is those people

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

who'll be forgiven.

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

There are people from the lower bracket, we

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

don't hold a grudge against them or say

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

that they're not Muslims, but also we don't

00:30:53 --> 00:30:55

take them as a role models in terms

00:30:55 --> 00:30:55

of

00:30:56 --> 00:30:57

deen. We don't take that. This is not

00:30:57 --> 00:30:58

an insult to them. We just don't take

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

them as a set of role models for

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

deen. That that what we as people should

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

take that highest level of people as our

00:31:04 --> 00:31:06

role models for deen, and we should entrust

00:31:06 --> 00:31:08

them like Allah and His Rasool sallallahu alaihi

00:31:08 --> 00:31:11

wa sallam entrusted them. And we should support

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

causes like this. If you're not able to

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

learn yourself, then fund somebody else to learn.

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

If you're not able to learn yourself, then

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

send your children to learn. If you're not

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

to learn yourself, then encourage and say a

00:31:21 --> 00:31:23

good word to another to learn. If you

00:31:23 --> 00:31:25

hear someone say something bad about thee, the

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

ulama who are the trustees of Allah and

00:31:27 --> 00:31:29

his creation, then say this is not the

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

deen that that Allah and his Rasool salallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam sent down. This is not

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

the deen that I know. Allah subhanahu wa

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

ta'ala raised from amongst this ummah, a group

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

of people, inshaAllah, from amongst the students of

00:31:37 --> 00:31:40

Nawal Academy also, inshaAllah. A group of people

00:31:40 --> 00:31:43

who will work to fix what's broken. That

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

the, you know, the the the the animals

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

no longer die from our ignorance. The the

00:31:48 --> 00:31:51

the the the global warming that submerge cities,

00:31:51 --> 00:31:53

that people no longer kill each other, people

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

no longer destroy their dunya and their deen

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

because of our what? Our our dereliction of

00:31:57 --> 00:31:58

duty with regard to this,

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

regards to this, sacred, trust.

00:32:33 --> 00:32:35

Waking is up to the reality

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

of what is, what the response to the

00:32:37 --> 00:32:38

dilemma is, and
