Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah, two
Allahu Akbar Raja come in Bhutto neomatik Whom latter Ala Moana Shia, which Allah chromosoma Well Apsara will ephedra, Allah subhanaw taala asstra extracted you
and brought you out of the womb of your mothers, let them own and share knowing nothing.
Nobody came to this world with knowledge, including the prophets of Allah subhanaw taala.
When they come to this place, they had zero knowledge except that which Allah subhanaw taala granted them afterwards. So Allah is different to us. He says, Let other Munna che and which Allah Kusama will Apsara will f Ada, Allah granted to that hearing, and the scene and the heart. And these are the most important senses in Alaska to give human beings which we use to acquire the knowledge and to be able to apply it properly in the way Allah subhanaw taala once. So what I want you to understand is the path you are taking is the best path.
If you observe the best of manners, in doing the right thing, you will be considered like the priests predecessors being the best in the eyes of Allah subhanaw taala as long as you do the right thing
by Allah Hema Mediabrands he says there is nothing similar to the knowledge is a greatest deficiency for a person to remain as ignorant. Musa Ali Salam
was speaking to
the Jews that there are children of Israel. And the speech was so excellent. Musa is a very powerful and excellent speaker and the prophets of Allah subhanaw taala were like that. So
he gave them that speech. And it was so excellent.
The way somebody asked him, they told him, Do you know somebody who is better than you in terms of knowledge?
The answer was supposed to be yes. Because even if you can see somebody from amongst the human beings who knows more than you,
Allah subhanaw taala is always there.
And there's a very good, you know, subhanAllah reminder, by Allah subhanaw taala for all of us, that maybe that's why it is recommended for us to resort to caffeine every Friday, because it contains so many lessons, this story of Musa alayhis salam, this one in particular
has so many lessons. I remember one of our great scholars, he has charted. And he is also trying to summarize the virtues of this story. Not less than 36 lessons that we can get from this story of Musa and freedom.
Musa was supposed to refer the knowledge back to Allah subhanho wa taala.
But he made a mistake, he told the question, he told him no, that is nobody. He asked him. Do you know somebody who knows better than you? He said, No.
The answer was supposed to be yes, there is. At least Allah subhanaw taala is that Allah says we're focally the enemy, Ally And subhanAllah in this life,
there is always somebody who knows better than you, nobody on earth knows everything. This is what is supposed to be in your in your mind, although we see the opposite. When you are studying, a very humble, you go for the Masters, you are against that to increase. You become a PhD holder. You become untouchable according to the way you see yourself. The salami you have been saying to people when you meet them. Now you don't say salaam, friends, they you don't take them as enemies. But you really you reduce that interaction between you and then because of the title you have. That arrogance that we have. And the people who used to be humble, but now they are in authority, they
become very, very arrogant.
Knowledge is supposed to make you humble. Knowledge is supposed to make you humble and always you should remember that there is somebody who knows better than you, You Allah and that's the only way for you to benefit.
We have heard a lot in the classrooms. When a student tells the teacher that what you have mentioned, need to be fixed in a humble way in a nice way. But then the lecturer or the teacher will be very sensitive concerning that matter. And we'll take this as this
As a means of disrespect by the student,
which I see is a favor is a blessing from Allah subhanaw taala for you to be in the presence of a student who remind you and your role
in the past Subhanallah, when humbleness and humility was there, in some way, some of them had the food, they inherit the Hadees. In generations, rather than saying her death, Anna Fula, he will say had definitely told me the Arnica had death to Salah, he will say my student told me that I told him, you know, the shaman forgot what he told the student and now the students are telling them.
When he comes to narrate this hadith, he will refer to the student that the students said, I once told the best,
as the days of humility, they are learning from each other, which we don't have this. Now, nowadays, except, in a few instances, Allah I see as a blessing for you to have among students, somebody who is very knowledgeable and is capable of fixing you. And you don't know how many times you have been teaching people, some of them they're more qualified than you. Actually, you don't even deserve to be used to it. Especially in the universities. Yeah, some of them are just there, because they study in a very conservative way. So they want to have a job. And you know, you need to present certificate for this job. So he's just here in the university to get that, you know, certificate not
because of the knowledge itself, he already has. But Allah whatever the lecture might be saying, he can teach you more and more, but he's there being humble never shows his capacity. That's why we have to humiliate ourselves and to be humble, not humility, itself, but to be humble to humble ourselves in the presence of those whom we were teaching. Remember,
that will divide up for those of you who studied fact, there is a mother called Vidya. Very strange mother.
And they have given by the organizers of this event, very little
time and then I came late so I'm told according to what was given to me I have to finish by 915 otherwise I will not read. I will tell you something about these entities, but let's stick to that I will divide it and the topic. He was given the lecture there's as usual, but then somebody came to the emergency lead and he sat next.
Okay, that would avoid a chef was sitting on the chair, but somebody came next to him usually students sit in front, but this one came and he sat next to him.
And he was Motorola him he puts something to cover his face, you know, so you don't see anything except his eyes.
That would lie he got annoyed because this is against the ad.
So he decided to embarrass him in front of others. You said you think you or somebody talk about hijama Jama is the copying you know that one they put their horn and nowadays we have the plastic cups you know to suck the bat blood very interesting thing that the prompts allow some advisors to do it which many of us are not aware of this you know a new came said
as a
as a male
maybe I'm too close to
he says
oh you close everything
maybe I should shout
I think it's fine.
It will be sha Allah.
This is nice. It is no it is great.
So that will design he he decided to embarrass him Subhanallah he asked him to talk about hijama cupping that I was talking about, you know Pam says it is not appropriate for the brothers. You know it is not appropriate for the brothers to stay for more than a year at least once in a year you do it because you don't have a system in the way the sisters have Allah's mantra put in them which filter the bad blood from time to time. So hello I like to hear these explanations because what some people see it as you know, in some religion actually is a curse that
Rent since they see it as a curse, or the villa, which is the natural nature of human beings, the last one to greeted people in this way, even a claim is explaining that actually is a blessing from Allah subhanaw taala. For them to have this is a system that allows one to put in them which filter the blood assistant can stay without doing hijama throughout her life, which is very dangerous for a brother to be in this way. He says not good for you to keep those blood inside you. And also we know that blood when you remove some part of it, it will be replaced with with a good one, a fresh one. That's why research have been conducted. I was listening to one of the Egyptian
medical doctors a good person. He was saying that the research has shown that those people who are donating blood, they're healthier than those people who are not donating.
So you don't have the system which take it out. So if you get the good one, to do it the prophets Allah sama said it's it is really beneficial to the health and also to the memory. He said Allah hijama to Allah recamft hijama the copying, the copying, he says Allah Rick answered, you do it Alaric what is Alaric do it before you eat food.
I was talking to one of the head German from Morocco. He told me there are cases of death when somebody eats before the hijama so I was telling him that actually so let's allow Somerset and hijama to Allah Reiki, when you do the hijama do it before you eat food or alimony. You were pretty fragile, and then you go to them. He says when he has she found albaraka Subhan Allah and he said it contained health and baraka and is blessed by Allah subhanaw taala y, z to fill actually. And also it is increasing the capacity of the memory. You'll be smart and able to memorize properly.
And then he says Fatima Allah barkatullah humilis name is a bear when you do the hijama do it on Monday.
You're listening through data on Tuesday.
While I teach him, he said Don't you ever do the hijama on on Wednesday, because he says there is no leprosy that disease which affects the limbs and sometimes you see the person losing his limbs just like that the hands become so dry, the body will become so dry and he will be losing some part of him from time to time. And Allah. Very, very, very, very strong and evil disease. So Rasul Allah Azza said, usually this disease is always happening on Wednesday. So he said, Don't do hijama on Wednesday, because leprosy usually happens on Wednesday. So he linked it with leprosy.
And then he says do the hijama on Thursday, so three days given to us by bacillus last Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, the rest of the base, we're not supposed to do the HLR. And the prophets, Allah Azza wa said, if you can make your hijama on one of these days 17th 19th and 21st of Islamic calendar every month from the Islamic calendar. So that means if you're choosing Monday or Tuesday or Thursday, choose the month Monday that coincides with one of these three days. If none of these days, you know agreed with those specific days mentioned by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then you just go with the days, Monday or Tuesday or Thursday. That's it any any Monday or any
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
So that would advisory told the person who sat next to him, he decided to embarrass him, he told him talk about hijab. So Hala, he said this man sat down properly, he wasn't sitting properly, but now he sat properly.
And guess what did he do? He started talking about the hijama from the time of Adam Malasana.
Any Hadith that the prompts lots of mentioned in the hijama he talks about that opinions of the scholars history of the hijama whatsoever is related to hijama things which they will divide the the chef himself never heard of them that might undermine he was talking about. So Hala, what was the conclusion of the share?
He said after that event, I told myself, I will never belittle anyone throughout my life. Because he thought this is just a normal person not knowing that this is a grayish color. And if I'm not mistaken, that was Jacobi. It may Brahim adore Rocky, the name of that shade who was covering his face, but that will do not know. That's why we're supposed to respect everyone. Be happy when you see somebody next to you who has knowledge more than you. That's how we complete each other. So Musa alayhis salam, he told that person. He says nobody knows better than me. Allah subhanaw taala revealed an angel immediately to him, telling him Bala you
Yes, that is somebody who knows better than you.
Abdullah.
He says our, our sleep
the magical power
And subhanAllah look at the importance of knowledge when Musa hears about this, he immediately tall
the angel, you know, talking to Allah subhanaw taala kafer civility, how can I reach? Then forget this is Musa Ali Salaam. He was the best person on earth in those days because he Brahim already passed. Musa was the second best person after Ibrahim
Ali salah. But then when Allah Subhan Allah told him there is a slave of ours, slave of mine, Allah Subhana Allah says my slave in the magical Buhari Musa asked him yeah hola que visability How can I reach
this color it said that shows importance of
knowledge, the importance of knowledge, because this is the prophet of Allah. And this person was not even a prophet of Allah subhanaw taala according to many, many scholars, because there are two opinions here. Some of them said he was a prophet. Some of them said he wasn't. Whoever he was, he was not at the level of Musa alayhis salam. But Musa asked Allah quickly Allah How can I reach him? And then Allah smart Allah prescribed for him, the way he can get that person. So just trying to save the time to cut the story short, Musa met him
in that journey. He said As salam o Allah fader look up, he said, one now the article Salah says Suriname in this place. And then he looked at him, he said, Who are you? And then Musa said, Musa Fidel said oh Musa from Bani Israel? He said, Yes, this one has been he knows him. He said, How can I help you? He said, I'm here to learn from that which Allah subhanaw taala granted you have of knowledge. Hey there told him you can't Subhan Allah, look at how Allah Muhammad Allah wanted to teach Musa a great lesson. He sent him to somebody who at the beginning he told Musa you're not qualified to study. You know, when you go to the university, sometimes if you're not qualified, they
send you to foundation first. So he told Musa you can't. Musa said, No, I can I can do. He said, No, you can't. And then Heather told him, why did he tell him he cannot study under him? He said, What K for test Bureau, Allah marlim to hit the hill Cobra, Allah, as I said, this story has a lot of lessons in it. It says How is it possible for you to be patient of something that you don't have knowledge of? That's why the scholars said, the more knowledge you have, the more patient you are. And sometimes you fight people, because of what because of ignorance. One of our scholars, Shakir had once told us that it is possible for you to find a person that you don't know.
We said how is it possible for me to find somebody that I don't even know him? And I'm fighting him? He said, Yes,
ignorance can lead to everything, and to destroy the relationship between you and your brothers and sisters because of ignorance.
And then he narrated a very simple one painful story that happens to him personally. The day he became the deputy Rector, ating Student Affairs, you know, he said, I just get into the office. And then a student came to the office, and that student was my neighbor actually living next to me, out of the university. He said, I just get inside the office, and the student also came your site.
The first thing he started was shouting, saying and saying all kinds of bad words he can say.
To who to me. I was surprised, what did I do? What can we replace this I just get inside the office do not even do anything. And then I was welcomed by this. And then I raised my head, I thought, Oh, this is my students. And not only a student, a very good friend. And up to the moment I left him there was no case between me and him.
So he said I would just sit him down to receive all the courses and shoutings. And he said when I was tired of listening and the boy, a man was not willing to stop. Then I look at him. His name was Mohammed. I said Muhammad. So how long has he heard a voice different from the voice of the one that he was looking for?
He said share, are you when did you come to this place? So Hala, but he was shouted at somebody but he doesn't even know who was he? You will see fighting? That's why check said ignorance is the source of all evils.
Ignorance is the source of all evils. So Musa was told by
either, there is no way for you to be patient of something that you didn't have knowledge of. That's why it was called a set. You want your friendship,
you know, with somebody to last longer. You have to learn about that person. And trust me, most of the clashes and the fighting is in the battles between the husband and wife at home. They're being selected
based on ignorance, trust me, because we did shallow research before the marriage. And that's what we receive in the consequence, which are evidence leveled, you know, you must receive those consequences. If you build it upon knowledge, be evening lie as the virtual. The consequences are going to be at the low level. I remember shabby. either him or somebody else. He says, The first time I met my wife,
you know, the first night they met. It said I was going to touch her. She told me Allah slick. She said, Please don't do anything yet. Just wait. She told him please. I don't know you and you don't know me. We don't know each other. It is good for us, for both of us to understand each other before we start our life. He said he was narrating the story to his friend. He says to Allah He needed hotbar you know that night people are not patient, right? They just want to see that moment. But when he says share who Allah He stopped, she stopped me from doing anything. And she forced me to give hotbar he said I end up at that night scene in Al Hamdulillah, Hina.
souhan Allah. He said, I lived with her honeymoon, Xena. He said I lived with her for 20 years. He said trust me, never seen something that I don't like from her 20 years. He says after 20 years, this is when the first thing that I hate from her happened which was his mistake. Also.
He was going to go out of the house with Fajr prayer, you know, they don't have electricity. He perceives an insect is moving to him this this copier. So he told us No, please remain in your place. I perceive something is moving. But I think I managed to cover it. So then move from your place out of obedience, she stayed in that place that's copying escaped that trap and went and got help. So when he came back and found her in that critical situation, he got annoyed. Why did they why didn't she run away? Yeah, she told him you are the one who told me to stay in this place. Nowadays in our houses, and I believe everyone is aware of even if you are deaf, you know that he
has houses of the people are not in a good shape. Almost everyday you have clashes, the source of these clashes, ignorance, You Allah ignorance, if that is a clear understanding of each other, you will never reach this position. So he told him confidence will allow them to hit the hobo How is it possible for you to be patient of something that you don't have knowledge of most asset, he will be patient. So I will stop the story here but just take
some part of it which will be in sha Allah confirming what we said about the importance of knowledge and also humility and humbleness in what he called Teaching others faded and Musa when they get into the boat. A bird came and pick up some water from the sea.
That was the real message and last point I want Musa to learn faded was watching and looking at the bird and also most hours watched. The bird came a very small tiny bird. Let's get water going away. So Haider to sell it said Musa, did you see that bird? Mortality Salam said yes. You see what it did say yes, he said Musa
in the Allah eliminate Milla. He said, I have a knowledge from Allah subhanaw taala.
Allah subhanaw taala taught me this knowledge, let our level and you don't know this knowledge. What underline women a MILA and you also appoint a knowledge from Allah subhanaw taala which I don't know. I have knowledge which you don't know and you have knowledge which I didn't know. And he says and both my knowledge and your knowledge in comparison to the knowledge of Allah, it just like the sea,
you know, or that life the piece of water being taken by that bird in comparison to the sea, the seas the knowledge of Allah and my knowledge and yours is that little tiny water which is taken by the birds. What do you think the we reduce Allah smarter than anything? No. Allah says Where's Aluna? Can you pull the row humming? I'm the rugby or my OTG mineral and Mela. Khalida, you see the knowledge that we have nowadays we even claimed that we went to the moon we do so many things you know sometimes you will say
What where exactly are we going? technology is so advanced some of the things if you don't see them you will never believe that they do exist. And all of these knowledge that you see is still little is that drop of water in comparison in relation to the to the sea.
And Allah smart Allah has led us to witness event which confirmed this is fact Rasul Allah Allah Allah is a lemma be cut off his his chest how many times
Yeah, I know you're not reading history books. How many times that the opening of the chest happen
once or twice or thrice? Twice right twice when he was young, and also when
they start with good mashallah, thanks for the disappointment usually, I usually talk to people who are not read in history, but it looks like you are different. Thank you very much. So twice it happened. It just was been open. And let's eval Malik said I can see the sign of the threat is like the way dude, the thing that our our doctors or surgeons are doing, can see the sign on the chest of rasool Allah SubhanAllah. They just asked him to remain in the way he is. You know, when he was killed, they took him down, because he will run away. But when he was adult, the angels came to space. He said, I can see them, you know, and then they just opened my chest just like that. He was
just watching them.
Nowadays, imagine a doctor just told you lie down and then get the knife and they just open his chest and he doesn't feel anything. What did he do? What did they use, it is a knowledge given to them by Allah subhanaw taala they bring out the heart. You know, they open the heart just like that. Remove the bad blood and throw it away and wash it with hikma, the email and zamzam and then fill it with email and put it back and close it and Sue it. And that's it. And they told the promises someone let's go did not even need time to go and wait for the healing process. What are they using? They're using knowledge which we don't know what is that? If you're not impressed.
Look at the story of Solomon Ali Salaam. But he is the Queen of Sheba medical to Saba, right? When Hood Hood The hoopoe Beretta went to the place and he saw how much Allah subhanaw taala gave her of that big civilization. She was a very great woman in terms of dunya and power. And she has a very strong army Subhan Allah. So he was amazed with what Allah smart Allah gave her knowing that what they have in the palace of Slim man is way better than what he has.
But then, you know, he wasn't expecting to, to see something like this. That's why he was so impressed. When he came back to Solomon and a salon. It also remarked what happened. But he said, unfortunately, they're not worshipping Allah with all these, you know, these blessings that worshipping the sun is Julius ships him in dunya. Immediately so a man instructed him to take a letter to them, to tell them that on this planet of ours, created by Allah Subhan, Rodin given to you everything by Allah, it is inappropriate and unacceptable for somebody to worship anyone other than the giver.
We can tolerate this. And so the man told them he wants to see them as Muslims.
To cut the story short, very beautiful story. And last month I mentioned to us in Surah, two, and namely Allah's Muhammad, Allah says bulky is key.
You know, she came to slay man,
when she leads the pilot of Sudan manually set up before them before she came. She man when he realized that she's coming. He told the people who are sitting with him in the palace. He said that throne of monkeys because the bird says she has a very huge and nice and beautiful throat. So the man said I wanted here,
right? She's on the way to to the Pirates of Sudan. So the man said, I want the bat here.
Call every two minutes.
The top among the jean Sheltie efreet is then I mean, that that person has to reach the high level of crime for us for him to be called a fleet. So he told to the man he said, and it could be Coppola and Takoma McCormack. He said, I can bring the Back to you, but I just need a bit of time.
I can get it here. So the man said no, we want it very quickly as soon as possible, because the woman is in the way. So we want her to come and see it here.
Subhan Allah, Allah subhanaw taala said and this is the reason why I brought this story. Allah says Colin at the end of our elemental Kitab
and it can be here Kubla in your head, the lake of Salah, the one who has the knowledge from the book.
Remember, he Allah says what
He's using what knowledge not magic, the one who is given the knowledge from the book. What knowledge is that? By Allah, to my knowledge up to this moment within our region, this knowledge whereby you can bring a bed from Felicity from Yemen to Felicity even with the aeroplane you need around two hours. But he told me the man he said, I can bring it to you within the blink of an eye.
He said I can bring it to you. Allah smarter says the one who has the knowledge that he can get it to slay man within the blink of Allah Subhan Allah Allah smarter says fella ma homos Takemura endo con have an infidel.
So the man close his eyes and open as he was instructed by that knowledgeable person. He said, Just close your eyes and open as fast as you want. He closed his eyes you open it. The bed was present. The real one not fake one. Not illusion. No, the real bed of that woman. He brought it to the place. So the man look at it. He says in our language. This is outdated.
We have to upgrade the bed for her. So he asked them, they upgraded it in the way when she came Suliman asked her a haka the hardship.
Is it your bed as they look like yours? Call it can who she looked at the bed she say I looks like it looks like the one I have, you know, because now they make it advanced you know? One so she couldn't recognize whether is the one she left or not. Subhanallah so the mindset we're all t and L L moment probably have or could never sleep. You Allah. He says knowledge have been given to us before because we're Muslims. Whatever guidance you need, Allah, Allah has multiple places in this book of Revelation, either from the Quran over and the Sunnah of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. All that you have to do is to maintain this path that you take enough seeking knowledge,
you will see a lot of amazing things.
A professor like Lisa said, My God, the law will be higher than you fucking 50 Whatever the I had that I wanted to shed light on but terrified, I guess mentioned, here's what I ever need to talk about it. But I will close with this hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when you read Allahu Heiland if activity, if Allah subhanaw taala wants good for you, you will grant you knowledge of the religion.
If Allah wants good from you, you will grant you that knowledge of the religion, the only wave to the success and your ranking to be elevated, a lot smarter to bring you up in the eyes of everyone is to learn. Ibrahim alayhis salam in those days was the most knowledgeable person in any sense in any way. And Allah subhanaw taala fulfill all of his requests, Allah gave him whatever he asked for. He says what Jalili Santa's sitcom Phil accurate? Is it yeah Allah, I want you to keep a good remembrance of me. In those people who will come after me. So hon Allah this good remember is this is what Allah smart Allah is giving those people who who learn
if you go to the famous people you know who used to be famous, we remember them if they are good sometimes, you know sometimes the famous in the dunya we remember them sometimes. Most of them we forgot them.
If the occasion and occasion did not, you know arrive we will not never remember them at all. But Subhanallah compare these ones with our scholars. Wherever you go the name of Imam Malik Imam Shafi on Buhari is up
where they like this, because of the knowledge, nobody knows them before. And they will be hidden in the history nobody will remember them. But because they attach themselves to the knowledge and they suffer they sacrifice their life for the sake of the knowledge. Look how Allah's Mattila character members in this dunya a poet says an 18 year veteran by beta Lhasa sallahu wa jal, Liu Yan demobilize, it will come to me. Please, my dear brothers and sisters remember this point. He says lol New Year for beta let us hustler knowledge bring up a house that doesn't have a foundation
and ignorance bring down the house which has roots and foundations. I remember one of the Hall of up he went to Hajj and he was looking for some fatwa. And he asked what I thought about him a bit about
this man was asleep before
and if you look at the way he looks, very ugly way of looking. And he has some disease they said even his the saliva is falling out from his mouth from time to time.
But so
Han Allah, he reaches a situation whereby you only know for twice accepted a less if this fatwa is coming from him, people used to travel from all over the world just to see.
Nobody is I mean, caring about the way he looks, but people are proud of being next to him. So this is the Khalifa. Khalifa told his student, I'm sorry, his son, he said, Let's go look for a towel. So the son was expecting to see somebody, you know, in a good look. Then he saw about,
and the Khalifa was waiting for him, he has to finish his prayer first, you know, and he knows that the believers there but he has to finish his prayer first and when he comes to the Khalifa.
So the son was monitoring the way the Khalifa was asking him, and the Khalifa was humbling himself next to him, was very humble. You know, the children of the whole of our, you know, children of the kings. That arrogance is there. So he was very annoyed after they left.
And then
the son told the father, why do you respect him that much? He told him because of the knowledge that he has. And to Hala and the king to the khalifa to the sun. He said I can't forget my humiliation, the presence of this rich originally slave person. So that's knowledge. That's the meaning of that poetry when he says I'll Elmo year for beta lesson sallahu wa jal, yeah, demo, beta z will carry me so you won't shut off in this dunya you have to seek the knowledge. And this is the only shot of honor a nobility and high ranking that remains any other thing that you take in this dunya. Trust me, my dear brothers and sisters is going to be gone. The only Sheriff honor, you know, and high
ranking that remains is that of knowledge because even after your death, people who are benefiting from that knowledge that we kept for them, will be remembering you. And that's good for you, you might not understand what I'm saying until the time you leave this life and you go to the grave. And the amount of the dirt that is coming from the community because of the benefit they get will do a lot for you inside that place. And then you'll see the benefit as the profit and loss of asset when you die, only three things will remain. One of them is the knowledge that you taught people and people are benefiting from it, this will be acting as sadaqa jariya for you. That's why a poet says
there are some people who are living with us, but they are none other than the moving dead people.
You know, they're dead, but they're all moving with us and you have some people they die, but they're still alive with us. And what makes them alive is the is the knowledge transistors, there's a lot to be said concerning this matter. However, seeking knowledge has some other. So complete with this. And then I talk a little bit about life in the university. So has added other other means ethics manners to be observed. You want to succeed in knowledge, there are manners to be observed. And these manners are a lot. So I'm just going to be very picky to pick up some of them to emphasize on them, which I believe is more than enough for anyone who is looking for success in this regard.
Okay, they call it adult pilot with a mouth tab. Number one is sincere, it just lasts.
To do things for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala.
Any knowledge that you do need for the sake of dunya is going to be regret for you when you meet Allah subhanho wa taala. And it's none other than the waste of time
is none other than waste of time. So your intention, what you're learning should be Allah subhanaw taala first and foremost, and shouldn't be secondly, to remove the ignorance for yourself and also to remove the ignorance from the Muslim brothers and sisters.
That should be your intention. I'm doing this to please Allah and to give my contribution to the community by guiding and teaching others. Your knowledge is supposed to contribute, you know, to making the community looking better. If we're going to learn and the community remain in the way it is, our knowledge will be will be useless. So sincerity is necessary. Without sincerity, you will never get that support from Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah subhanaw taala only supports those people who are sincere to him, the prophets Allah Azza wa said whatever you do for Allah is going to be rewarded by Allah subhanaw taala and he will take that and keep it for you. If you do it for dunya
then you have nothing to get from Allah subhanho wa Taala and
the scholar said one of the scholars Imam Malik when he wrote his book on water, and then so many other colleagues of his they will also started writing books like his book. So somebody will
went to him and said chef, you wrote a book you tied yourself but now everyone is writing the same thing. If somebody told him he said don't worry, he said you will see only that which is written for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala will will remain. For those of you who are studying how many Mata Mata you know only one whenever somebody says Mata the only Mata you know is Mata Imam Malik. But you have other Mata Mata written by him the money may not be there, but you have matar written by some other scholars in his time. None of them is famous. We're not saying they were sincere, but we see the statement of numeric is taking place and applicable up to this moment. Up to this moment,
the only mode that is recognized by almost every student of knowledge is the mode that Imam Malik
that's the result of sincerity. Whatever you do for Allah subhanaw taala Allah will keep it for you. That's why they said Mark and Ilahi dama what Kira whatever you're doing it for Allah will remain and stay with you forever and ever. And the knowledge that was not done for Allah subhanaw taala is going to be a regret for you on the Day of Judgment as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has said, Whoever studies something which is not which is supposed to be done for Allah, but he is not doing it for Allah subhanaw taala he's doing it for the sake of the dunya Allah is going to punish him because of because of that. There is a Hadith actually in a Sahid where the prophets Allah
assume I mentioned about the first three people who will be taken to help. One of them is a scholar, you know, is caught up, but he wasn't seeking the knowledge and teaching people for the sake of for the sake of Allah. Right? You have how many types of scholars do we have,
in this regard?
Say three, give you the answer. Actually, three types of scholars. You have heard about Dola you have all mo Aloma. You have our lemma old Mila three types of scholars in this life of ours, you have Allah MT dolla, these are the ones that are not given fatwa, except according to the way that kings and the people in the authority wants them to say they just give fatwa based on that.
Even if they know that this isn't what Allah Sparta wants, but it was to just make it like that. You have the second category, which are the vast the vast majority of our time, you know, all mo Uma, those people who are speaking in the way you know, people are, I mean happy with, they always, always try to make people happy with their photos, whether it's Israel or Israel, and I want to have more views on my channel. So I will try to avoid anything that will take away people from from my channel and from my lectures. So I tried to compromise a lot of things which I know that if I talk about them, people are going to stay away from me. Let me ask you this, the prophets of Allah
subhanaw taala Why do you think there was a clash between the prophets and their people? Almost all of them nobody came on house and had an easy life with his people, none. Some of them live with the people for 950 years given our nobody accepted them except a few know Ali salaam Rasul Allah Azza wa sallam. In fact, I saw a prophet, nobody accepted him throughout his life. He went back to Allah subhanaw taala with a total rejection by his people, but never submitted to them never compromise.
He gave the message fully in the way and last point I want him to do. Why do you think there was a clash between the community and the prophets of Allah? subhanaw taala.
It was so against the standard way of life. Yeah, let me put it he was right. Let me put it in my own way to make him wrong. And I will look, right.
Because they talk about the current issues. And these are sensitive matters.
Right, whatever people are doing commonly practicing, if you come and hit that one, everyone is going to fight you back.
But if you come and divert the attention to something else, which nobody does, except a few, nobody cares about you.
So they don't cheat in their message. They talk about what people need in the community. Of course, they use wisdom in that message, not in the way we are doing. Yeah, because the reason why one of the reason why our Dawa is failing, it is because of what no wisdom in our Dawa become so harsh. Yeah, the most important thing to me is to convey the message, not to try my best to make that person accept what I'm what I'm saying.
I just want to convey the message and I don't care. You understand, you understand it's up to you. That's why sometimes I go to you with angry face, angry mood, you know, sometimes that raise of my voice and I want you to understand
remember the story that I have
got from a from one of our noble scholars he died last modular, that show mercy upon him. Very simple story, but it has a lot of wisdom in it. And it is directly, you know, sent to the youth,
people at your age,
because these are the people who are who have a lot of enthusiasm. And it's good to keep this enthusiasm but responsible one, the one that is placed in the proper place.
Don't forget most of the things that you're talking about, most likely the people that you're addressing, they already know. They need somebody who will come with different approach in the way they can see it properly. So he was mentioning this story that I kept on sharing with people because it has a lot of lessons in it is that I was sitting down there in the classroom, teaching them Hadith.
And then a boy came to me out amongst the students and he said, Chef, you know, these old people, when you remind them about Allah, they don't take it. Sometimes they chase you away, telling you that they are older than you and they are older than your father. And they already know these things. Right? It is always the battle between the old and the younger people. When he talked to an old man, he tells you already know this before your father is born.
So he said Sheikh, I told one of the old guys in my place. I told him Carla Rasul Allah and He chased me away.
So the Sheikh said, he changed the way he said yes. And then the Sheikh Said, I asked the student in the class, who is right, the old man or the boy, and guess what do you think the answer will be? Of course the boy because he said, Allah rasool Allah rasool Allah, Allah Azza wa said, how can he be wrong? But then to their surprise, the Sheikh said, No, the boy is wrong. Every one of them was shocked. They said, Sheikh, how is it possible that he's wrong? He's saying, as soon as Allah has some asset, and this man is chasing him away, and you you said, Chef, he's, he's wrong. He said, Yes, he's wrong.
He said, I have a question for you.
So okay, what is the question? He said, this boy, and the boy was there actually, is this boy, if he wants to marry the daughter of this old man?
How does he approach him?
Now they started to get back to their consciousness. How old is he asked him, he said, How do you approach him, the boy kept quiet, he says, check, I will be very humble to him. I will go to him talk softly and gently and in a very nice way.
His friend who used to support him, they said shakes his line,
he will never go by himself, he will go and select from his family members, the smartest person to send, he will not choose any anyone randomly, you will go and get the smartest person who knows how to speak to go insane. Oh, you see that? When you're looking for your duniya you know how to get it. But when it comes to Allah, and the data, you don't care, you don't mind to send it in anyhow. And then he said, Imagine if you're applying to a university and director of the University is a bad person.
Very wrongdoer a designated person.
And you write the application letter and you're supposed to be addressing the director of the University. Why do you say the first part of the letter Dear fasten?
No, seriously, what do we write? Dear sir, right. And you know that this person is bad. You know, he's wrongdoer. But because you're looking for admission in the university, what do you say? Be yourself? He will Allah is a very simple message. But I found it the key to the success of our Da, Allah, you have to be humble Rasul Allah sama did not leave this life, before he gave us everything we need to do, especially you guys live in, in the university, very, you know, complicated place. Trust me. And I know, you know, this is a very complicated place is easy for a person to get DVT
if he doesn't attach himself to the good ones. And it's one of the two things, either you give the power to the people kindly and make them good, or they're going to take you.
Yeah, it's as simple as this. If you don't provide a conducive environment for yourself to live in the place, you also are going to be, you know, taken by by them.
We have to take from a sort of Lysa Lila selama he did not live this life before living with us the best of guidance. A boy came to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and I want you please do listen to this story. Very carefully. He said, Yeah, rasool Allah, my time is up, but he says, Yasser Allah, since nobody told me to stop let me continue. He said era Surah LA. He said, Please permit me to commit Zina.
Yeah, that was his question in the presence of the companions. He said Yes, Will Allah please give me permission to commit Zina? He was looking what do you understand this? To be this respect? I
Against who Rasul Allah by Allah if he does it to normal person that person you know might lose control and by chain
but he was doing it also realize that aligning Salah
and Rasul Allah Salah is some of the companions were very annoyed, they're going to get to know so let's Allah Azza wa said, No, this is my question he's asking.
And they kept quiet.
It was him sit down there also so I told him sit down.
And then he told him this thing that you want to do. He said to you, would you like to hear this happening to your mother? The boy said, No, I will never tolerated for my mother. Instead, how about your sister said no. How about you? How about this? You mentioned all this instance he can remember in his house he said do you want this dinner to take place and then the boy told him no Yasser Allah, the prophets Allah Azza wa said, but the person that you're going to commit Zina with her she's also either a mother or a sister or aunt or grandmother of somebody in the way you in the same way you don't like it they also don't like it, don't you think is inappropriate for you to go for
it? So very simple method he accepted and he became one of the best people in Medina Castle so last Allahu Salam. Imagine this place this place is not a masjid, right. Yeah. Imagine must it Rasulullah not masjid. Sunway University, Masjid rasool Allah. The man came to that masjid and peed
in the presence of rasool Allah.
The companions of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, I shouted at him.
And look at the words of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. That's why I said whatever you need in Dawa oxen, Willa, it is there given to you in the Manhattan and the life of Rasulullah sallallahu. Sula, Salah Sam was watching. He was shocked and people are shocked. And the Companions couldn't control their mood. They shouted the demand Rasulullah sallallahu semma now on his top looking at the guy now and he is having an issue with the companions. Where are they shouting?
This must be true so Allah you know, if you pray in that Masjid is equivalent to pray 1000 times in any Masjid in this country, any other country
is bacillus hula and in the presence of Rasul Allah, not after he died no in the presence of Rasulullah he was there in the masjid and demand paths you run in them in front of you. In what the prophets Allah Azza told them he said law to the mu. What is the mean of law to the remote? I let actually Hebrew Allah Subhan Allah scholars took lessons from here. It means don't you ever cut his urine?
Please let him continue. It means don't get let him continue. The scholar said health wise actually is not good for somebody who's passing urine and use care him so much. He might be urinating blood. And also, it is not good for them. Because after the events or the prophets, Allah sama told them to go and bring one bucket of water and put on the urine. They're serving him not he gon wash it. No, they have to go and wash it.
But if Rasul Allah Allah sama did not ask them to stop shouting. And guess what will happen? If this came and the man got scared? What is he going to do? Going around the masjid in what? I left the blank for you to heal.
So rather than cleaning one part of the masjid, now they're going to clean every part of every masjid. And also his hours going to be shown and then there was that I was given let me should I cover you?
So Rasulullah sallallahu. Salah, told them don't cut off his URI. What did he do to the man? He called him? His Wow.
Let him sit down. He said this place is a must. It isn't appropriate for somebody to come and pass urine in it is just established for Salah and they here and that's it.
No blame no anything. The man was so happy with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam in the way he went out of there. He went out of the Masjid. He said yeah, Allah show mercy upon me and Mohammed alone. And don't you ever show mercy upon anyone
Rasul Allah had to call him back again.
He said, Please, the Mercy of Allah is so big. Don't restrict it to me and let them let everyone share. But why did he say that? Because he was happy.
Trust me my Deborah says the more lenient you are, the more the society in the community comes and attach themselves to you and they will share with you what, what is bothering them and then you will be able to fix it for them. If you harsh everyone's going to run away from you and who is going to be harmed you. You might say my email is protected. Trust me a day will come either you or your children or your family members are going to be taken from
Those who used to call corrupt.
That's where you have to be gentle and is what Allah has pointed at us. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam not to do while we're able to help him a tsunami came to the masjid. And he taught inside the prayer, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi Salat did not blame him. At the end of the story. He said, I have never met a scholar. He says, I never met a teacher like Muhammad Salah Listen, And subhanAllah when he was in a state of comfort, he sat with the prophets, Allah Sama, he started narrating to the prophets, Allah Sama, what people in his community are doing. That's what I'm telling you, when the community sends an easy approach from your side, they will come to you, they
will rush to you with their problems looking for solutions. If you don't, they will go and look for the solution from the wrong people. And then you will be the first person to complain that people are not using the right knowledge. But what was your contribution at the first place? So their brothers sisters, we talking about sincerity, and we set the second type of the scholars they are the olema or OMA, those people who speak in a way they believe people will respect them. And people will listen to them and people will come to them and nobody will run away from them.
This is wrong, absolutely wrong.
It's going to be regretful anyone who is using this path. And the last category. These are the old men. These are the scholars who speaks based on what they believe to be what Allah has monitor wants them to see whether people are happy or they're not happy. They don't care about this because if I give you fatwa in the wrong way, trust me, I am trying to solve your issue by putting myself into trouble. Because from your side if you use my fatwa, you're okay with Allah because Allah asked you to look for a scholar and you did what Allah asked you to do. If that photo is wrong, I will be responsible. That's why they said given fatwa to a person without having the knowledge to give that
fatwa is equal to giving him relief by putting yourself into trouble. This doesn't make sense, at all. Doesn't make sense.
Doesn't make sense. That's why silence is always better if you don't know. fatwa without knowledge kills the Mufti and it kills the most hefty. You remember the person who killed 100 people right? 99 first, right? And then he was looking for somebody to guide him to, to Allah subhanaw taala he met a wrong person. That person did not fit Allah smarter and keep himself according to his level he gave for to all that knowledge.
He told him you cannot repent. What do you expect from a criminal who killed 99 people? And now you're telling him he cannot repent? What message are you sending to him?
Go ahead continue because there is no point of becoming good. If you become good, still you are going to help.
Why does he change that? And this is exactly what happened when he told them that you cannot repent he says I cannot repent he said yes.
He took out his sword or the weapons he killed that person. He made him number 100.
So he lost his life because of what wrong fatwa oxime will be law many people got into trouble because of Fatah.
Wrong fatwa is very dangerous, very, very dangerous.
And wrong for to also can kill the one that you are giving the fatwa to one of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. During one of the battles he was badly injured on his head. So he slept at night. When he woke up, he was he already had a *. So he has to take goosal for Digenova. So he asked the Companions who are with him, he said what to do because I cannot put what on this big injury on my head. So what should I do? I said, You have no excuse you have to put water and wash yourself. He said I can't be said no Islamically you have Subhanallah he listened and obeyed what they're saying. So he washed himself he put the water the pain increases he lost his
life.
When he went to the province that when they went to the province Allah somebody informed him jasola This is what happened. Rasulullah Salah sama said Cotonou Katana whom Allah said they kill him May Allah kill them as well.
He said hello say hello if the Hebrew why didn't they ask when they are ignorant in nama Shiho li a sua they all only remedy for ignorance is to ask questions and what's wrong with that? Well my there is nothing wrong with that. That's why they said mancala delete for cut after if you say I agree I don't know this is also fatwa don't worry about what people will say no you have big shift and then he didn't know Let them say this is okay. But unless you side with Allah subhanaw taala is fine. Get it so sincerity. My Deborah says this The first advice to be sincere in it
whatever you're doing in the knowledge you're seeking. The second one is Taqwa of Allah spent I already know that my time is up and I've said nobody reminded me that's why I continue. So you came at the last minute I'm sorry. Anyway, inshallah I will try to wrap up is no Can I have two minutes for 10 inshallah.
So one of these, one of these other is a talk of Allah smarter than righteousness, because knowledge is the light of Allah smarter that he cast in the heart of the people. And this light cannot be given if a person is is committing sin. So, don't forget being in the university doesn't mean you are away from the loss of Allah subhanaw taala. The one that you're worshiping before the university is still the one that you're supposed to be worshiping in the university. And trust me, my dear brothers sisters, many of us got stranded after the graduate.
And I can tell you the reason why they are getting stranded. They wanted the support from Allah smarter after the graduation. But unfortunately, they missed the cause and the target when they were in the university.
Universities are supposed to be places of smartness, place of guidance, place of righteousness, but unfortunately, we see what the opposite. So if the university management is not doing the monitoring system properly, it is your responsibility to know that you are obliged but Allah subhanaw taala, to live a good an excellent life, according to the One who created you what's going into the way he wants, you must make sure that Allah is what is not going to hold them responsible before you, you alone will be back to Allah subhanaw taala and he watches this certificate that you're going to get Allah he will never benefit you with that which benefits you is the taqwa, it the righteousness, all
of these number of years that you have in the university, Allah is what is recording everything, and you will see them in detail when you meet him on the day of judgment. Therefore, my advice is, to each and every one of you to be a good representative. Remember that you have a job and you have a mission, to who first to Allah subhanaw taala that means you have to show him the true identity of a Muslim who believes in pleasing Allah subhanaw taala and bringing benefit to the community. Because if you are righteous person, and you act righteously, and you do the right thing, everyone is going to benefit from from you in that university and also the community but when you go back there, we'll
be able to benefit from it. And remember, as I said, Nothing remains for you except that righteousness in the university. Put this in your mind, Inshallah, it will help you to, to act in the right way. The people who are sitting with the opposite gender, you relationship with them, you will remember Allah subhanaw taala first and foremost before you go, you know, nobody says there shouldn't be any relationship but what we are saying is, that relationship should be correct, because you won't be happy for Allah subhanaw taala to see you in the wrong relationship with with others. And we are living in a place yes is a reality that you find yourself in a place but it is
not free for you to take everything Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has said, it says a duniya Sujan momento genital caffeine. He described dunya for the believers as citizen as a prison. Why prison because of restriction. He didn't do everything. He didn't do everything you have this absolute freedom doesn't exist in Islam. Absolute freedom does not exist in Islam in the way you do everything without looking at what Allah has wanted. The creator wants you to do. It doesn't exist. And it doesn't make sense for me to come to your house and start imposing my own principles and laws. You will take me to the court, you will fight me back. Musa alayhis salam when he saw somebody
in his house, you know, he did not know who is that person? What did he do? He slapped him on his face. Yeah, because this is his territory. Nobody should come to your territory without a permission. And this will then the universe is created by who? By whom? By Allah subhanaw taala whether you're Muslim, or you're whoever you are, you know most of the people on earth they believe that there is a Creator who brewed everything, and who provided everything. So it doesn't make sense for you to live in his system
and not do what he wants. And think that everything is going to be you know, run smoothly. I do believe each and every one of you here or at least most of us are here in this university and many other universities looking for success in the future. Trust me my dear brothers sisters, there is no way for you to have a comfortable life and to have to have the true success in life unless if you get Allah subhanaw taala in your company in your journey when you are in, in the university. So remember this my dear Brett says Allah watches you and the only thing that remains with you is your righteousness. Many people who study Subhanallah I just recently hear about the
Story of a student who died not very long. He just came back to the university, you know, PhD student and if I'm not mistaken he was just waiting for the Viva finished a PhD.
And then he died.
Just like that. He was so happy that he's going to graduate just like that. Allah's Martina took his life. Yeah, his time is up. So now he's with Allah subhanaw taala what remains with him his taqwa and his righteousness. He told me long ago about a sister who got straight A's in her in her certificate everything is a style right after she graduated she died they kept it as this veneer in the in the room you know everyone's watching nobody's benefiting from it. What remains with her is her righteousness and good behavior and attitude and he Iman with the last one retana So this is my personal advice to my brothers and sisters here in Sunway University to fear Allah subhanho wa Taala
in, in your learning, and I guess this summarize who you should be in, in the university and how life in the university should be at the top of Allah Sparta also will lead you to
pass the good thing you learned to to others who are not fortunate to have what you what you have. So I'm trying to wrap up patients also is one of the key to success. Be patient, be patient, be patient in your righteousness, be patient and staying away from the evil doing is not easy. Allah Deborah says I do understand and this call is understood and Sharia understood that it's not easy for a person to maintain his Eman especially in our time. Yeah, it's not easy for a person to maintain the EMA, especially in our time. But that's how the test, you know, functions. The more patients you are, the more successful you will be in the future but even Alliance social, so be
patient and be patient also, when the calamity strikes. Allah knows exactly what he does. And he says the good and always belongs to the righteous and the good words and also be hardworking person. Don't be lazy. I will inform you about the statement of one of the scholars when he says well I'm out a few of you have been nasty, I cannot sell cardinality money, all of you here at this young age, I do believe the capacity you have with the last one they gave you is beyond far beyond what you can ever imagine. But unfortunately most of us are not using this capacity to learn.
A student of knowledge does not know laziness in his life. It very hardworking person, and make sure that you don't hang around anyone except somebody who is more hard working than you. Don't choose a loser to be your friend. No apology. Don't choose a loser to be a friend. The Arab man says it Amasa Hampton coma firsthand. CRO well let us have it Abdelfattah Fatima mulready is whatever you want to have friends. He said take the best one to be your friends. And don't really ever agree with a loser to be your friend because you're going to end up being a loser like like, that's a fact. It's in our Sahiwal side. Friends drives their friends, right? So choose the best one to be next to you. Those
are the ones that will motivate you to be hardworking in your education, so hardworking and loyal Hema and don't you ever agree to be in the low level? Try your best to be number one in the university. You Allah is not a joke. This is what you should be doing. And it is not too late even the last year just tell yourself this year my name has to go up. Not in the sense of arrogance, but this is what a student of knowledge should be. Allah subhanaw taala says when he was talking about the best people in his eyes, he says well Lavinia Kowloon Arabella hablan Amin as well Gina will react in our Kurata our union with Jalna limited EMA? Is it the best people in my eyes, you know,
after all of those taboo things they are doing. And in the end, they said, Yeah, Allah make us Emmanuel Mutai. You know, they don't want to be leaders for the common people. They want to be the leaders of the best in the community. They want the best people to be emitted in them. Can you imagine this high determination of these people and this is how a student of knowledge shouldn't be don't ever accept a low level in in your life, and your education, and analyze. Lastly, as I said, here, I think this last one I've already spoken about about it which is about life in the in the university is supposed to be based on the Taqwa of Allah subhanaw taala. Then Allah smartair will be
with you after after the university. So I have other things to be mentioned, but unfortunately time will not permit us to go more than this. So I will stop here in sha Allah. And this is my first time I hope it is not the last time in sha Allah. Allah subhanaw taala guarantee good until we can be with you wherever you're in will be college Emilian caffeine Subhanak Allah Morbihan DECA Chateau La ilaha illa and as they forgot to relate to Santa Monica Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
In
a lucky position. I wish we continue continue until tomorrow. But unfortunately, we cannot
just be a Gangstar we just continue until
the security
janma insha. Allah will do if you are going to move on to more.
Now we have the QR code in front of us. We have any questions, please scan, and then the simple answer questions. But before that, can I myself ask a question? Would you allow me to do so?
So, in this study, you mentioned that the guy when he gets married, is in the hotbar. That made him for 20 years. Do not argue with his way. Do we know what that Taqwa is?
Okay.
was very simple. That's the hot hot what's harder in that Hamdulillah?
Until then, and then he talked in the way she wanted, because she said, I need to know who you who are you? And what do you like and what you don't like. So the hotwire is all about him telling her who is he? And what does he like in his life? And he asked you, what do you what do you like in your life? And what kind of life we want to establish in our family? It is a very good question, actually. Because many marriages are destroyed. Trust me, my dear brothers, sisters, because we adopted life of others to our life, which might not fit us. The wife is listening to her friends. And she brought that kind of life to the house and doesn't fit the husband. And the husband is
listening to his friends he brought the life to his house, which is not fitting him. No, you sit you and your wife you design what what kind of life you want to live in. Don't worry about anyone, this is their personal life, you also should have your own personal life. If you let somebody comes into your into your house, trust me, he is going to destroy your life. And nobody's to be blamed, except Except you. These are serious matters. You know, somebody was having a very good life in his house. And then a sister came to visit his wife, and this is her friend. So she told her that your husband, please listen to this. She said your husband is a very close as a person that has a very close
relationship with the king.
He can just tell the king that he needs money, the king will give him everything. How come you're still you're still living this kind of rough life. Subhan Allah, the husband came back. He was saying salam, no answer to the salam. He was making Vicki no reply to the whatever he said no reply. So he realized that he is indifferent house when he went to his wife, every day, the life between them was smooth and nice. But today, she was very annoyed. He told her my dear wife what happened? She said, I am told that you have good relationship with the king. How can we still live in this kind of life? Is your understood. He raised his hand. And he was one of those people. Whenever he
asked something Allah listen to his door. He says, Yeah, Allah, whoever destroyed my wife, yeah, Allah blind, that person making blind. And so Hala, instantly she became blind, that sister who came to the house to do this, forget about this. And hamdulillah she got Okay, he made dua for her to recover, and she recovered. But look at how she destroyed the house, she was almost going to destroy the house of this person.
We might not be like him. So if your wife or you accept in order to adopt another life, you're going to destroy your life.
And those person is not good, they are not going to be responsible. So we have to be very clear for you and your family members are supposed to sit down and design the kind of life you want to live.
I will close this question with this funny, short, very short story. They say what works with somebody might not work with the other person. And I want everyone to listen to this. You know whether you find it funny or they're not find it funny, but take lesson from it. Okay. This is a woman who was having a very good relationship with her husband. And her boyfriend asked her, she said it looks like you have a very, very nice and good relationship with your husband. What is the secret? So because my life is terrible with my husband, he said, I need to know the secret. She said no problem I will share with you. She said my husband sells gold.
And every time when he comes back with gold to the house, I tried to take some part of the gold secretly, not in the sense of theft. But I will just keep in it in case we broke one day I can just give him those words.
A day comes the husband became broke. He lost everything. So he came back in a very sad mood. She told him my dear husband what happened
He says we lost our business. What do you mean? He said, We have nothing. He said, No, don't worry. Say What do you mean? Don't worry. I am telling you, we lost. We lost everything that you are telling me. Don't worry. She said, Just wait. So he went into the house and brought all of those gold.
So, he was shocked because he has been saving for ages little by little, it became a huge amount. So he asked her why did he get where did he get this one? She told him what really happened? Mashallah, he hugged her, he praised her, you know, from that, that time onward the lie between them was so excellent.
Half right friend said, Oh, as interesting, I'm going to apply the same thing.
She also started keeping some part of what the husband is bringing home. But then he also got broke one day. She told him don't worry, he was mad at her she said don't worry, I told you don't worry, just wait.
She went and she brought the things when the husband saw the thing he killed them punching her in
the life was messy you know after that actually he hates her more than
and guess what was the business of that person?
He was selling calendars you know calendar when the time finish it's already
so they use this story to tell you that not everything that works with others or with you get so this is very crucial matter understand your family and you design your life according to the Sunnah not taken from from others Allah.
One more question.
Yes, ask at least 10 minutes or less to cancel the food and everything just asked.
I will be I will be very quick and sharp. I've been juggling with the academy.
Manage events for Islam society to the point I'll be like 20 hours a day is not enough for me. Please give me some encouragement.
This is part of our community
is starting to run away, right? Yeah, honestly, speaking, I believe that there is no contradiction between activities in the Islamic society and seeking knowledge. And anything is all about time management, you have 24 hours, if you manage your time properly, look at that which is beneficial and that which is less beneficial. And categorize them according to this and put them in order. And do them accordingly. Be evening light, Allah, trust me, you will find a lot of free time in your life. But unfortunately, most instances, we're not managing our time properly. And that's why we find, you know, Subhan, Allah, ourselves in the middle of this trap that we're looking for more
time, but the time is there, almost every one of us is like that. And trust me, if you sit down alone, and study, whatever you are doing in your life, you will find yourself having a lot of free time actually, you might be more dedicated, adding more time to the Islamic society than what you are, you're given. It is all about your categorizing the activities and your affairs according to the importance and take them one after the other, the most important one first, you know, and do them and focus when you're doing them, especially the education. You do the education How much does it take from you, you know, average li let's say the university five hours from you. Right? Let's
say the classes are taking five hours, take two more hours. Trust me if you can take two more hours straightforward without being distracted by anything. Just two hours of studying everyday. In sha Allah, you will be like that friend of ours called Senate when I was studying my first degree in university, trust me that is one brother. I never saw him come in with medical handout reading next to the classroom during the examination.
You know, when it comes to the exam, what do we need for the exam a night before the exam and always we can even there. They're telling you come in come in, you're still trying to catch up some points. You know? Why? Because we are negligent before. Trust me if you're going to go out of the classroom and go back home and study what the teacher told you. Make sure that you memorize everything in sha Allah, you will never need to revise for the exams on the exams comes because things are already there. But unfortunately, we think we are too smart. What you study for four month you will let it remain without revision until the last minute. Why didn't the university bring you in the last
minute and teach you everything because they know that you cannot do it? When they keep it like this. That's meant you should keep it also like that. If you don't, then you're going to suffer and who is to be blamed. The lecture is always
a lot smarter grantee good and Tofig
So arrange your time properly Inshallah, you will see that you have a lot of free time.
Last year, this question is a question that I personally have, and I know a lot.
So the question says,
Please, I need to know see, for those who want to learn the knowledge of Islam, but he then he cannot make money later in his life
should I answer this question?
I was asked my friend was asked this question, actually, when he was making hedge assistant came to him, she said, with with all due respect, after he graduates, what do you do?
Well, I forgot his answer. And I wish he told her work in you know.
So I was asked also this question by some of the younger student,
they asked me this question, they said,
if you study Sharia, but what do you get in? And all of them? I guess they're studying engineering and all of the stuff. They said, they said, they told me what do you get? If you if you study Sharia, I said,
what do you what do you what do you mean? What do I get? And what can I get money?
So I was asking them, what do you get? As a manager or director dimensioned? asset? If I tell you I get more than this?
They will surprise how is it possible for an Islamic teacher to
to get money? And this mentality is coming because we believe that risk is attached to the certificate you have? Let me ask you one question, to know how much is a loser who relate risk to the discipline that he is getting in the university?
Telling me one rich person on earth, those people that you point with your finger and say that these people are rich? Tell me one of them. Who is rich because of his advocate? One?
Many of them actually, there are losers, they did not even finish the secondary school.
Right? The vast majority of those people who have not belittling the knowledge, right, I don't want to see you quitting the university and say Rahim told us this.
But the vast majority of the rich people who are the business people,
when you go for the job, what is your I work, and I can tell you a lot. If you don't have some extra, an additional place and source of income, most of us by the end of the month, we are worth debtors. When the money comes, you have to pay this, you have to pay this, you have to pay this. Whereas the big business people, they don't worry about this, they go to the business at the time they want.
They quit that business the time they want, and they're receiving much more greater than us. One of our scholars said he doesn't understand why many students are crying out. And many people when they graduate, they're crying out that there is no job. He said for me a job in a company, this is the last thing I look for.
He said this the last thing I look for, and it's justification. He said the vast majority, if not all of those rich people who are so rich, none of them is a rich person because of his certificate, they keep it aside. Allah did not connect the risk with this at all.
To good idea, whoever believed in this, I'm telling you somebody is fitting in with the wrong concept. The vast majority of the government's if not all of them, no government on earth that is capable of providing job for all the citizens.
So after you finish, you have to go on, look for it by by yourself.
That's why when somebody from Pakistan asked me in Nottingham University, I gave a lecture. He just recently change. He has a new life. He came to me he asked me when you graduate, when you finish.
I mean, when you graduate from Islamic study, faculty, what do you do in this life?
I told him the best job.
He doesn't understand. He said What do you mean? I said the best job? He thinks that why? He said yeah, I got it. I told him brother, the best of the best on Earth. These are the prophets of Allah subhanaw taala and they have no job except to this. And then you were telling me that somebody is better than them? Do you get idea so that the risk of Allah smarter has been scattered in every place that Allah smarter people he put for them a lot of risk and he did not link it to the discipline that you are, you're handling many of our our scholars, very rich. We are the one who are backward because we follow the cultural practices of the people. If I drive a nice car, people think
I am a corrupt person because I'm not using the correct learning process. If
If I drive if I dress nicely, people will think I'm wrong scholar, the scholars don't look like this. And this is the wrong cultural practice that we inherited from the current situation which was in the in in the past. Let me give you two examples of two scholars and you have a lot of them in the companions of the Prophet sallahu wa sallahu alayhi salam, you have extremely rich people. After the Companions you have people like of the Liberian bark of the Liberian Barack was very rich person, he bought her house with 30,000 dinar.
Every 20 dinar is equivalent to 20,000 Ringgit 30,000 dinar, he bought a horse. So he was extremely rich person, life inside Egyptian scholar, very great scholar. They said this person's a cat never became obligated upon him. And he was extremely rich person. He was a friend of Imam Malik he visited Medina one day and he sent a message to his family greeted him. He said I'm here in Medina. So Imam Malik before he came on meet him he sent to him. What do you call,
like one kg of timber in a container? SubhanAllah. You know what he did? He removed the towel, he filled the container with cold, he said send it back to you.
As a gift for me. I said I wish I was in America, I was saying
next time one trailer,
the tumbler. So what I'm trying to say is it is the risk is there. It is not related to the discipline you are studying. as well. I really advise all of you to change your thinking.
You know, expand your thinking, go for business rather than going for companies being under somebody they give you for tat, the one year that you're struggling to live, go and ask anyone who is an employee in a company, the life they live in, except those top ones, they also you can see the kind of life they live some some of them trust me, they also live in loans. Right? The only one who is not like this are those people who are engaging in the real means of risk, which is business rather than any other discipline somebody is is doing. So it doesn't matter. Whatever you're doing, and knowing also on top of that, that every single person that alas Martina created in this dunya Allah
prescribe how much precisely he will be getting. And he would never go beyond that we have people in the village who don't have anything, but they're much richer than the professors. And some of them trust me even how to write their name. They don't know how to write it properly. But in their companies, you have professors, you have big and important people that bow in for for them. So that question should be sent to those people, not somebody who is learning any other discipline. That's what don't belittle any discipline. Wherever you have interest in the school, the OMA is in need of of that one, either. Allah subhanaw taala grantee good and make you a reliable Islamic scholar. What
we need nowadays is somebody who combined both scientists and also Islamic scholar the same the same time so that people will not come and contradict the Sharia, based on what is dictated to them by the discipline. They are learning. Hola, gracias, good.
The next question says, I want to get married by avoiding any form of sin. But I'm still in my second year of degree. So when parents are visiting, what can I do to convince them?
Bring them next time when I'm here.
There is no contradiction between a knowledge and an also marriage actually, is it's best to be there.
When you are seeking the knowledge you marry, does the better does the best. Marriage gives comfort. And the parent it is their responsibility. But don't tell them I'm the one who tell this team. It is their responsibility actually to help and to aid, especially in time we're living now, You Allah, in the future, if you have a child studying in any university, the moment he tells you, even if he doesn't talk about that, as long as he reaches the age of marriage, actually, since he's in the university as means he's an age of marriage, advise him to marry, support his marriage, but at the same time, also tried to make him responsible, slowly, slowly and gradually. So that it will not
take longer time for him to depend on himself rather than dependent on you. But that's the best thing to be done. I remember a father from Sri Lanka once called me, his son wants to marry and he was going into this battle, you know, with with the father and the father doesn't want to agree. So he asked him if he can call me and talk to me about this. So the father called me and he asked her you this and that? I said, Yes. He said
So, I just have this question to you, do you think my son should marry?
I said, Yes. I told him, like, if I have ability and authority and money enough, no student will go to the university without a wife.
So I thought that was enough for me, then he said, but you know, that children nowadays they have to do jihad, you know, and jihad, he's not talking about jihad with sword. No, they have to be patient, you know, I was saying, in my mind, come on, you brought him to this place, you know, not this university, but that university brought him to this place where the free mixing is very high. And you ask him to be patient and you are there with your wife? What do you call that? Greed. Right? He is they're not worrying about anything and he tells his child his son to be patient. And you Allah, we have heard a lot a lot of Zina been happening with the, with the people because there is no
proper supervision of the parent, they're not here. And the father is there, being happy that my son is overseas, studying, you know, not knowing about what the son is, is doing. So this is responsibility, and they will pay the price when they meet Allah subhanho wa taala. For you, my advice to you is to be humble. Don't fight your parent.
But keep resisting and keep insisting and keep advising them. And if you have grandmother has the best inshallah you will marry very soon. Yeah, seriously, this is one of the best method to use the grandmothers.
Because in the time of the grandmothers, they married early or very late, very early, they don't understand what we're talking about. Even the Father Himself. That's why when you go and talk to her in a nice way, but then just go like that, get a nice gift.
Go to her this gift is feasability marriage, not physically go to her and give it to her, you know that usually there is a joke between grandparent and and the children you know,
give it to her Tell her but this is not free. I have I have something I have request. And this request is I just want to do the Sunnah don't say, make it like big issue and it is a big issue. I just want to do the sooner but my father said no, she will give you a long story. He himself also he married at this age. How can he tell you not to not to marry? I met a brother that I saw with with a girl. It will be he says that was your advice. I couldn't convince my parents I went to the grandparent. They call them and they instructed him to make a way. And that's how we see us like this. So this is one of the best way. But on top of all, as I said, don't fight your parent. It's no
good to fight parents. But resist in a nice way to get idea. Don't give up, keep on resisting, and make sure that they let you do if they don't agree. I don't advise you to marry without informing them. It's not good for you and it's not good for your family. So imagine you're bringing your wife to your parents who don't want to see her alive she will not be happy and you will not be happy. And especially the sister side is very dangerous although by right if your parents rejects you can go to that king, the king and the Prime Minister and the leader. They can arrange the marriage by right Islamically the prophets Allah Allah Silla mercy initiative Giroux for Sudan will lead you Mala will
yella, if they all disagree they only have the girl they disagree with her and she's looking for somebody who is a righteous person but the parent don't agree or the following their desire you do have a right to go to the king and the king does have a right to arrange that marriage and you are not disobeying your parent however,
saying that this is your right but that is also advice is it a good thing to do? No.
You Allah is not it's not because that person that you're marrying, no matter how much righteous he is, don't forget you are human beings. You are a human being one day you might be doing something which he can tolerate what happens he will do a divorce. Yeah, I know a case where the parent they just own their daughter. That's ridiculous. for a parent to say that he does own his daughter will lie that's ridiculous beyond the realm of realm of ridiculous actually. How can I say to my son that it is only you How Does it even work? It doesn't make sense. But they do. They do this girl marry a person with the parent don't want that marriage and they said we disown you. And subhanAllah the
husband died.
You know a friend of mine told me he knows this. People said she got stuck she couldn't go back to the family.
So she was living in a place where the Friends of that friend you know who died they're supporting her from time to time whenever they can afford to.
So that's why there is an advice all the time although this is right. But sometimes we have to be very careful Sharia did not say you have to do but the Sharia says this is a matter of right. But that is always an advisor. So let's Allah sama tell people there right and give them also advice
which is against that, right? If they don't want to take that advice, he will let them go with their right to get idea. So I really advise you don't you ever go against your parents in marriage unless if you know that if you don't marry, you will commit Zina. In this case, you don't have to listen to them. But fortunately, the vast majority of us are not, not like that. So be patient, if nothing seems to work, be patient, what next? is too fast. Yeah, when you fast, you have to do it correctly. Don't eat too much. You have more desire when you eat too much. That's why many people say we fast but it doesn't become effective in stopping us from doing the wrong thing in this regard. You get
it? May Allah grant you good and convince your parent and let us see you. Together with somebody. It's always good to come to the university with your wife, it helps you a lot. You will not do their own wrongdoing. Right? Because whenever you stretch your eyes to do something wrong, she will tell you I'm here right?
Is that hola everyone? If you want to listen to grandma, grandpa, he has weekly classes and I am speaking about the seal of the prophets Hadith. And also,
unfortunately, we don't have the thing anymore, but we will send the picture of the classes, the timings and everything to the WhatsApp group that we have
