Hatem al-Haj – The Hanbali School Part 5 The Current State

The Senate do so need for the how many schools still exist outside

of niched in other words direct Senate back to Imam Ahmed we

talked about Senate for a long time and I have like two pages of

notes we had the Syrian branch there said that it was strong

in Egypt alright the camera cut out but we'll just continue

either way with without it when we talked about the SN need, we spoke

about Egypt, Syria next being in the latter history

of the humbly method needs to became prominent, are there Syrian

and Egyptian essay need alive today continuous without any

breaks? I don't know of series of Egyptian there are serious on the

book most of the Sunil various on either or an SD nowadays, for

several reasons.

Certainly, the majority of the Honeyberry scholars are from that,

then certainly they serve the math hub. A great deal.

People will go to our Hi, janitor. Hi, John hamre all the time. And

that's where people you know, and people also usually our own

feedback their own.

But there are, you know, bases check me do me is

that little last, basically, humbly family was connected Shammi

as any second point is, what I'm witnessing is a shift

back to humbly and away from the other terms such as selfie. So

what happened? Why would the the name the humbling name have

shifted in the first place to selfie?

Right?

And, and do you see it coming back to somebody overset if the word

selfies now has, you know, people use it in derogatory terms, etc.

And it's, you know, probably socially better for people to use

the term humbly, in my opinion, because it has historical roots,

and the word selfie is just used. Now, a lot of people still like to

use the word, but why does it even exist? If you if they're, if

they're high nebula? Why does that even exist?

I think somebody's in sort of users with their friends like so,

I know a lot of people who are suffering and Maliki and Salafi

because it depends on what you mean by Salafi and I think that

they sort of

constrained the definition constrained understanding of the

concept that does not serve the concept I think that Salafism

should be

part of,

you know, part of our

orientation as Muslims, you know, to favor a self

to acknowledge the superiority of a self to acknowledge the the

different approach of self to different things, you know, so I

think that we can take and I truly believe that people who are

capable of sentences they will understand the what made Salafism

crew.

Some people have like, sort of a fantasy that

Muslims were doing very well in all regards, up until 200 years

ago, and things started, and the petro dollars and so on and so

forth. But you know, be people need to really walk away from

cartoonish narratives.

Certainly, you could have your critiques, and many are valid.

And not only that, they're just valid critiques. Many are very

strong critiques, very valid critiques. And many things that

happened on the last 200 years could have been consequential, but

the cartoonish narrative will not go to the OMA. So synthesis loose

figuring out what made Salafism appear appealing. What made me at

nine years of age, basically get attracted to people that are

dressed in a certain way and go into the masjid and, you know,

you know, praying like long prayers, that's why they called

masters in the year and that's why people would like run away from

the master. So this would attract someone like me, I wanted that. I

wanted the atmosphere.

And then the issue of Santa versus better the emphasis on evidence

spaced and that has to be done with out

antagonism to Mother mother helped internally need to basically

need to basically consider the importance of a lively discourse

get continuing a lively discourse,

internally and talking about the evidence and talking about Hadith

and the important importance or hobbies and things of that nature

because we may have repetition

is not appealing to the intellectually oriented.

In addition to this, it's the herb is extremely important nowadays,

and we need to find a certain way like a point of equilibrium.

We know that our Messiah that are wholly committed to their Messiah

have they depart from the Messiah had been the from the agreement of

the form of that, why don't we agree on a way that we do this in

a regulated manner

you know, so,

public interest will be considered, but evidence will also

be considered too. So, when we sit in a Majima or a council or sorry

our board and discuss different issues and pick from the mazahub

and even pick from outside of them if we want to also say you know,

the prophets Allah some of them said that removing that from the

discussion and say, because sometimes in the nether hub also

and I have to be honest with you, like when we and I do this

sometimes when we spend the two days trying to like figure out a

more retirement and to look through like 30 books to figure

out in my retirement

when that Martin that could be countered to the position of the

other former three mazahub For instance, when that mark, you

know, without getting sort of paying any attention to the

evidence that actually hurts

and hurts the viability of the Masada then their sustainability.

So, there are certain things that we have to learn and we have to

walk away from making Salafism a group because the CLF are our

predecessors, they are our so we are they are common ancestors. So

making it a group will create this partisanship and will actually

push people away from listening, when when when there is a

discussion about this was the way of the predecessor predecessors

like it

was demand Joey for instance, discusses in Romania, why he left

it we tough Wait,

you know, to him, tough, we it was the way of the practice and

predecessors it is important. The way of the predecessor is bringing

this into our discussions, you know, evidence the way of the

predecessors, so never submit and these things and it and it should

not be be a group because it is not a group. You know, you know,

the sell off our special ancestors.

For all of us. Yeah.

We're walking away from from this, you know, changing the

changing bit, but basically the referent of the word would be of

service for all of us.
