The money it should be. Okay.
So Allah
talk about
those who are,
doing the righteous,
thing,
doing the correct thing. He talked about
the the opposite and the contrary
before,
and this is one of the meaning of
the word Al Mathani.
Zani Thomskola said, it's not only about reputation,
but to mention something
together with
the,
something that is against
Jannah, *, righteous, bad, like that.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about those
who are going to *. After that, he
says, that there is a good news for
the good ones.
They have this janat that we explained
last time, you know. In the Hereafter, we
have only 2 places.
Right? Do we have
a a third place?
Araf.
Araf is not a place of state. It
is a temporary place. You know? It's a
temporary place.
The dwelling place
places are 2, either * or paradise. You
know? Our office is a place where Allah
put those people who
who have equal
deeds, right?
The prophet saw them in in the dream.
Right? In the hadith of Aruya and say,
Bukhari.
He says,
angel those angels who took him
to that journey,
they will tell them to go and enter
paradise, to go and wash themselves first
in that water, to remove the dark side
of their life, and then they will go
to paradise.
So people in Araf will end up going
to paradise, and this is also what we
learned from the Surah itself.
Right? Surah Al Araf.
Scholars said this is the people in the
Arab Allah commanded them to go to to
paradise,
you know. So they will not stay in
that place forever.
Yeah? The only places of staying forever is
either Jannah
or Naa. Alhamdulillah,
whatever we need to pass the test in
this dunya has been presented to us. Yeah.
It's just up to us to make use
of it. And, so
even to him here,
in one of his writings, he write,
he talks
about,
to Wazih.
He talks about,
in general, the activities and the actions that
can lead a person to help. They did
did a good job. It's good for a
person to go and see that one. Yeah.
So that you can avoid,
you know,
falling into any one of them.
There is a book written by Omar al
Ashkar,
al Jannat Wanna.
He quoted also that, statement for in case
you couldn't get it from Sheikh Hassan and
Timir directly, you can go to that one
also and get, what he says. It's good
for a person to check and see.
Then, look into your life, you know, see
which activity you fall into, you know.
So
Allah
says there is a good news for those
people who are not like those ones.
Yeah. Those who did the righteous
thing, the good thing, they will go to
paradise and they'll be given that, which Allah
Subhata mentioned in this in this place.
So
Allah And then Allah
says,
and by the way, we talk about firdaus.
Do you remember any quick way for a
person to vote a firdaus?
Knowledge,
space especially?
Computing.
Habzul kuala.
You know?
Hebz al Quran.
Why do you say Hebz al Quran can
lead to fiddos?
Maybe by the time he finished,
he only reached half of Jannah.
There are some who who reads, Alhamdulillah.
He rubbilaal, let me
slowly slowly, that's
So it depends on the is it going
to have high speed, that one?
And
that's how we go.
Do you have an explanation through that narration
that shows that, yes, we're expecting this person
to be in Firdaus, Insha'Allah?
Oh, somebody from
from behind the screen,
yeah, I think helped you.
K. So
somebody talks about levels in Jannah. Right?
And,
the levels in Jannah, minimum is 100 levels.
And some scholars said no, it is according
to the verses of the book of Allah
because Rasulullah
said, the Sahib ul Quran, somebody who memorized
Quran, will be asked by Allah to read.
You read 1 ayah, you go daraja, he's
in one level.
Ayah, daraja.
Ayah, daraja. Ayah, daraja.
That's why those, scholars said the
the levels in Jannah, they are according to
the verses of the book of Allah
And of, scholars said, we are expecting
the one who finished the whole Quran,
insha'Allah,
to find himself in firdaus
But this is also conditional, right?
If he acts upon it, You know, do
we have huffals but they are corrupt?
Very corrupt, actually.
Yeah.
In the past, they have
is not only the understanding.
Because what is
Putting that which you understand into action. Have
you understand even active qualities? You are not
faqih at all.
So faq means to understand and to put
it into action.
You get it? That's what Allah SWT says.
The
one who fears Allah
amongst the slaves of Allah are the scornless.
The other
people don't fear Allah.
They do,
right? But the real person who fears Allah
is the scholar.
Because this is how it is. The way
the more you know Allah, the more you
fear him. That's why angels, their iman,
is far greater than our iman. There is
no way for you to reach an angel
than iman.
And that's why we call them Malibala Ekatuk.
Allah called them Al Mala Ekutu and they're
the closest to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So
their fear of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
much greater than us, there is no room
of comparison at all.
It's actually insha'Allah. Yeah, and then after the
angels, you have the prophets.
You You know, the way they fear. Allah
is amazing.
After the angels, you have the scholars.
Yeah. The more righteous you are, I mean,
the more knowledgeable you are, the more righteous
you should be.
Yeah.
Get my word. Right? You should be. Know
the more righteous you are because we have
people who learn, but they're the worst.
They're the worst.
That's why the live Mubarak says,
He says, is there anyone who corrupts this
religion and destroy destroy the religion other than
the kings and the leaders
and the wrong and the evil scholars.
By the way, who is worse?
A bad leader
or an evil scholar?
But you have to tell me why they
say evil scholar if you choose that one.
Almost.
You have a time when you don't go
with the leaders, you go to jail, they
kill some, you know.
Because a bad leader might be doing it
out of love for the dunya, but a
scholar who intentionally misguides people is almost always
doing it for the intention of corrupting the
deed.
Okay.
Might not be the case.
Yeah. Because you have many scholars, and trust
me, Adam, they know the truth.
But they don't want to lose their dunya.
They know the truth.
And his intention is not to corrupt the
din. His intention is none other than protecting
his own interests.
His intention is,
none other than protecting them,
his interest.
You know? That's why sometimes he knows that
this is wrong, but he will give fatwa
in that way.
Is it because the corrupt scholar lies against
Rasoolullah
They might not.
Because they will not say they will not
say they will not say Rasul like card.
But he will tell you, yeah, this this
intro this is not it.
It's okay. That is khalaf, you know.
It's okay. Time has changed based on the
custom and culture. This should be okay.
I think he answers that. The scholar, they
know the consequences. They know the outcome, everything.
But the hacker was the ruler. He might
know not know what are the consequences of
the health.
Correct. All of the answers you are saying
are correct are true. Yeah. Just not the
one I'm looking for. That's why you will
keep on failing.
Yeah. That's why you keep on failing.
K. People from
the
the behind the screen also lost.
K.
Yeah. Somebody says a leader.
Yeah.
Why? Because they're forced. You know, sometimes they're
killed. Sometimes you lose your life. Sometimes however,
I choose sorry, Sajjad. I'm gonna go against
you. I choose the scholar
to be the worst if they are if
they are bad. Because leaders,
maximum they can do is what?
Kill.
Take you to jail and that's it. That's
the maximum.
A scholar
will come and tell you this one what
what is this?
White. Right?
A scholar can tell you this is black
and use all sorts of evidence and to
make you, Hassan, go to a Hamad and
tell him, Hamad, you don't see you're blind.
You don't see 2 people Correct?
Everyone on earth will say this is white.
But true because you get convinced by that
person. You know?
So what does that mean? It means they
have the capacity to let you change your
iman. Although you are free walking, moving on
the the street, but
you are actually worse than that person who's
in jail because they steal your iman.
If you die in that way, where do
you go?
They don't beat you and do anything, but
they will make you believe that this is
correct.
In a way, you're going to find the
community to also spread this corrupt message.
Yeah. That's why they're worse when they go
bad.
See, the way Allah's wanted to describe them,
subhanallah,
you know, the worst people when they go
bad, they are the scholars.
And many governments in the past when you
go in the past when they are doing
the term of the Khalifa,
who are the vast majority who are influencing
them, telling them to keep doing what they're
doing? There's callers around them.
You get it?
Yeah. So that's what Abdullah ibn Mubarak was
saying.
At
Deena. Both when they are corrupt,
Museeba is going to happen, but that one
is worse. If you can preserve,
this
this, I mean, this callous aside,
Even like the Allah, the Ummah will be
able to breathe.
So the real faq is what?
Putting that which you understand into into action.
Yeah, if you learn but you didn't practice,
trust me, you are not fakih at all.
You're ignorant,
you know.
And that knowledge is going to be Mosiva
against you in the day of judgement. That's
why
Sahib al Azad says,
he says,
he's one of the Shafi'i scholars. It's a
Martin Zabat. It's a Martin
Shafi'i school.
He says,
And he says, the one who has knowledge,
but he doesn't use his knowledge,
He might be punished before
the idol worshipers.
Yeah.
A person who has knowledge and he doesn't
use the knowledge
might get into trouble before that.
So if you memorize the Quran, and you
act upon it, we hope
that you go to
paradise. How many memorized Quran here? Finish the
word.
I got one.
Who else? Finish.
Hassan?
Nobody except 1?
Okay.
How many have half of it?
I'll have dinner.
Also one?
I'm afraid if I ask how many has
nothing, also one will say.
Anyway, please try. Try your best. It's an
honor. Allah, it's an honor to go out
of this dunya with the Quran.
And my advice to you is don't rush.
Yeah.
Take a portion that is reasonable
and be committed. Quran needs commitment.
Yeah. I always mention this. Quran needs commitment.
Don't stop.
Yeah.
Take if you want to memorize 5 lines
every day, just 5 lines to be there.
Keep going. Don't rush because sometimes,
oh, 5 lines so little, you know, and
then you add
10 lines, 2 pages, 3 pages, you know.
And then you'll be able to do to
do them for 2, 3 days maybe or
1 week and then you'll start getting bored.
Yeah. And then soon you you will stop.
That person who is patient with 5 lines,
they are very easy to memorize.
He can keep them for ages.
Yeah. So it is my personal advice to
all of you, those who did not memorize
yet, take a portion from the Quran
according to your schedule,
you know, that little memorize
bit by bit, bit by bit. In sha
Allah.
They will come. You finish the whole book
of Allah
So this is my personal advice so that
you will not lose, you know. The reward
is so great, the prophet said,
the Sahib ul Quran,
the one who memorized Quran,
Allah will bring his parent.
The parent of
Hafiz, right? Who memorized the Quran? The parent
or him? Him. Him.
The parent did not.
But Allah will bring them
and Allah will put on them
or
Libas, it's,
Allah will,
give them clothes.
This cloth and this lebas lebas,
if you are to evaluate them,
they are greater than the dunya whatsoever in
it.
He's the parent of the one who memorized
Quran.
Why? Because they bore him to give birth
to him.
Allah is respecting them in this way.
By giving them this kind of address in
the hereafter as a means of respect.
So Rasulullah
said, what do you think about this son?
I mean, if this is the the parent
who did not do, but their
child did,
what do you think about the son? The
one who did it directly.
So my mom shouted me says,
And it is enough also to know that
Ahlul Quran, the prophet said,
whom Ahlulah
Ahlulahi
wakhasa to. They're special,
you know, people that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
loves. They have special love
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So please,
try your best and take simple amount of
of portion that inshallah you will not get
bored and you will be able to memorize
it correctly.
So that's the summary of what we did
last time.
Not by
sleeping. Yeah, you want to go to Firdaus?
You have to be Waleed of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
Is it possible to be Waleed the Waleed
of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala? Yes, Hamad. Can we be Awliya of
Allah?
Sure. How difficult it is?
Very difficult. Right?
Actually,
if you look at the wilayah,
every Muslim this might be new for you.
Every Muslim
is wali.
Every Muslim is wali.
However,
Walayah
has marathim
levels
according to the iman of a person.
You get it?
The more
iman you have, the more wilayah you have
to Allah
You know.
Because Allah says
Those who believe in Allah
and put their faith into action these are
the Awliya of Allah
SWT. So every every Muslim is wiliya.
But the wala is marathim.
Right? The wilayah is marathib.
Yeah. You have levels in the in the
wilayah.
Those people who are very close and very
dedicated to Allah, they will be closer to
him than the one who commits sin sometimes
and sometimes doesn't do. Allah says,
He says we
gave the book.
We let those
the people that we have chosen he said
we
choose them from our
slaves.
You remember you remember this word? Istafayina. Allah
says we chosen we chose them from our
state. He says faminhum vaalimulinafsi.
Amongst them you have
a vaalimulinafsi.
Who's a vaalimulinafsi?
They're not coming since,
you know. They're still Muslim.
There's a farceq word that doesn't care, you
know. Blackbri, cheat, rebar, and all of these,
you know.
And you have the mother it wants.
Allah says
and you have those who are rushing, you
know, in doing righteous deeds.
SubhanAllah.
None of them is exempted. Allah SWT says
they will all go to
Jannah.
The first group might be in trouble at
first,
after they become purified, then Allah SWT will
take them to Jannah. But all
will end up going to Jannah.
You get it?
So that's why they don't lose hope
and do the right thing. That's why I
said my advice is make sure that you
memorize the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And
put it into action. Even light to Allah
you will get the best from, from Allah
So let's have intention. Those of us who
did not memorize Quran, please start
today.
Right? Right after my classes, try before you
reach your room or your house, finish 1
hour.
Yeah.
And be serious. As I said, we just
need for new commitment.
Don't stop. Let's keep, moving.
Do you open yours?
Okay.
Okay, so that was the summary of what
we did. May Allah grant all of you
His love and Jannah. Jannah Tufirdos.
And then,
after that, Allah
says,
Allah
Allah
does not feel shy of
giving any example, any parable.
Allah
doesn't feel the shadow of making any
example or parable. And subhanAllah,
you see,
the examples that Allah has given
through histories and narrations,
wallahi, they contain a lot of lessons that
a person really needs to focus on.
You know, your success in life lies in
understanding them.
That's why one of the salafasalah used to
say,
You see, whenever I hear a parable being
given by Allah Subhata in the Quran and
I try to get it, I don't get
it, I don't get something from it. Because
it's not just about understanding
and seeing it as something interesting or funny.
No. Allah doesn't
joke.
Allah doesn't
joke or mention something to us because it
is funny. No. Never. Never.
Never.
There's no such a thing in the Quran.
It might, you know, be interesting in terms
of listening or a person
might see it as something that is so
funny and very interesting to listen to. But,
subhanAllah, Allah is bringing it and putting it
in that way to catch your attention and
also to be able to grab the lessons
that are contained in it.
That's why in Surah to Shura,
sorry. Shura,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, whenever
he mentioned a story of a prophet,
at the end of that story,
he says,
After every story, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will
say in that which has been mentioned to
you, there is a lesson.
There is a great lessons
that are for it.
And the
says,
unfortunately,
the vast majority
of the people
are heedless.
The last part I would say that is
a great lesson for you to
grab and generate from this story
that Allas Motilah mentioned to us.
But unfortunately, the vast majority of people are
heedless.
And that's why the amfel in the Quran
and the stories and the kisses in the
Quran,
they are short,
concise
and straight to the point.
You know, the exception of story of
Yusuf alaihis salam. That's the lengthiest,
story, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And that's why you see this story, Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make it so lengthy
to us,
because many things that we need
is there in that Surah.
Abdul Rahman Sa'adi has a small book
that he writes on the lessons being extracted
from Surah to Yusuf.
You will love amazing things you see in
that place. Every single part of it is
is amazing. And this is the nature of
all the stories in the Quran.
That's why,
if you look at the way Allah Subhanahu
has narrated stories, they are very concise,
straight to the point
and focusing on that which benefits. Because those
people who came before us, they have a
lot of things they did in this dunya.
A lot, a lot.
Not everything we need.
But Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will just tell
us what we need from that story.
You get it? That's why sometimes, some stories,
will be how many lines?
1 line, 2 lines, or even less, you
know. Allah
The story of art finished.
You
know.
Also one line.
Finished.
All of these 3 most arrogant nations, Allah
Subhaqa,
combine them in these few lines.
And you will lie. You sit down and
and and study these those those few lines
is more than enough for you.
It's more than enough for you.
So I really invite you whenever you read
Quran, focus,
you know. The statement of this, scholar is
really interesting and accurate. He says, 'If I
hear the method
or story by Allah
in the Quran and I did not understand
that method,
he said I cry.
Why am I crying? He said because Allah
says
These are the parables
and stories we are narrating to you. We
are giving you these parables,
Allah says, but unfortunately
nobody understands them correctly except
the scholars, Ali
Moon. So he said if I could understand
that means I'm not included among these ones.
So Allah says
Allah doesn't feel shy of giving any example
whether it is
Many scholars said
this is a reputation against
the Jews and the hypocrites.
Because Allah
when he
talked about,
When Allah wants to give this example,
you know, and so many other parables, you
know, and so many other
We will talk about these ones inshaAllah later.
The Munafiqeen
says
What is this?
What is this? You said you are talking
about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Quran is from
Allah.
Why why do we have these examples? Allah
SWT is far greater than making these examples.
These are so insignificant
things.
So Allah is refuting them and he says
what's wrong with that?
Allah doesn't feel shy of giving a parable,
you you know, an example like that, whether
it
is
with
and,
subhanAllah, if you
trust science,
you know, what science is telling us about
mosquito, you know, it's it's amazing, you know.
Maybe elephant doesn't have that.
Yeah. I heard somebody saying that mosquito has,
how many eyes?
A lot. 100. Right? I know.
Alla hallaam. How to believe in that? But,
anyway, it says it has more.
And the heart 3 hearts. Right?
Yeah. Something like that. And, subhanallah,
it checks and verify the blood. Which one?
That's why it might come hazyk and,
as for as for
and, and then it comes and touch
Hassig.
Sorry, Hassig.
No. I don't want this blood. It goes
to asparagus. Yeah. I don't I want that.
You know? It check and see. And it
puts also something there
which will make you think that there is
nothing on you.
It put those, knife and get the blood
in the way it wants, you know. And
suhallaha, they said from far distances can smell
the kind of blood it wants and come
to the place straightforward.
Yeah.
What kind of creation is this?
SubhanAllah.
Life is called Ishu'ul.
And it takes from you,
you know, when do you start feeling
after it's already left?
Then you will start feeling the
the pain. Right?
And,
by the time you you what what are
you going to do?
You try to,
identify the place and hit the place, but
already a mosquito is there laughing at you.
And
they hit yourself.
So, Allahu Alam, we agree with them, agree
with them, but we believe it has a
lot of things, you know, inside. Every creation
of Allah's small hotel has amazing things in
them.
So Allah says there's nothing wrong in giving
parables and actually these are the best
some of the best way and the methods,
you know, to bring things closer.
Right?
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
Whether this parable is,
through
the usage of,
mosquito. Famafo kaha.
If you go with the literal meaning, mafo
kaha means
something above. Alright. Yeah. But some scholars said
no.
Allah is referring to something which is dunaha.
Mafooka means from a dunaha. Maybe lower than
that.
I said, Khalip
is really bad.
Yeah. I mentioned one of these,
criminal that I don't want to destroy and
destroy my tongue by
mentioning their names.
Those who kill Muslims all the time, you
know.
I mentioned one of them to you. He
did this, he did that, and you said
no, who were for Kaddaliq.
Yeah. But above that is
more
much much insignificant than than that. You know?
Because I mentioned in things which are so
silly in the way he is doing. I
said, actually, he's beyond that that one. It
means
the madunah.
So there is no shyness in giving.
Example, in Allahu Alaihi Waallahu Alaihi min alaqq,
you know.
So, Famafa'u'llahas
some scholars said even Madunaha.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't feel shy
of giving example with Ba'ud, which is the
mosquito,
or
elephant
or lower than the We have some insects
which are.
Yes. Some
scholars are mentioning about Bawl
Ta'esh
Majaat.
As long as it is hungry, it lives.
When it gets full, it dies.
So Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala says there's no
shyness in this. Allah doesn't feel shy of
giving any any power.
This is in line with the saying of
the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
If the dunya
has the value of the wing of a
mosquito.
You know the wing of mosquito. Right?
How many weights?
The weight of the wing of mosquito.
You say, like, 10 100 of them here.
I don't think you feel that there's something
on you. Right? Mhmm.
This this wing of a mosquito, if the
dunya has the weight and the value of
this, you know, weight like a mosquito,
the prophet said
Allah will never let a kafir get a
drop of water to drink.
But dunya doesn't have value. That's why he
let everyone to just take what they want.
That's why in the hereafter,
those who rejected Allah, they will be punished.
How many layers of punishment?
3.
Punishment of not accepting Allah,
punishment of not practicing
the Sharia of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and punishment
of taking
the resources of Allah
without paying the due price.
Yeah. Because they breathe the air is not
free.
The food is not free.
The water is not free.
All of these things that Allah Subhanahu put
in this life for our own benefit is
not free.
They have to pay
it, you know. And what is the payment?
Imaan, you know. Imaan.
That's why whoever believes in Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala, so this is what Allah is using
to make it as a payment for this.
The kafir, when he goes back to Allah
SWT in kufr,
the punishment might be reduced because of
his kindness.
Yeah. Do we have kofar who are kind
to people? Yes.
But it's useless because they are not kind
to the one who
brought them, who created them.
It doesn't make
sense.
You are,
you know,
misbehaving towards the person who
is always doing I'm talking about human beings
here always doing good to you.
But those who hate you, you always try
to come closer to them and do things,
in the right way towards them.
So Allah created us.
The first one that you should be good
and kind to is Surab Al Amin.
The kafir is not like that.
Yeah? He doesn't do the right thing towards
Allah
and he went and do the
the the the the kindest to other than
Allah
So in the hereafter, those who were kind
among them, the punishment might be reduced.
Not to stop the punishment, but it might
be reduced. The sunnah of the Prophet
indicated
that.
What are they?
Did he support Islam?
Yes.
Did he go out of *? No.
Did the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam manage to
reduce
the punishment? Yes.
He interceded
for him and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reduced
the punishment because of that.
Get it?
And they go to * because they don't
pray. That means they are obliged to to
pray.
But the issue is we don't
impose the prayer on them because there is
no
no iman. But between them and Allah, they
have to pray.
If they don't, they will be punished by
Allah
So what if he prays?
The prayer will be useless.
Why? Because he doesn't fulfill the condition.
If I pray without tahara,
my prayer will be useless.
Why? Because I miss one of the conditions.
But why when I tell tell Mazin the
conditions for your prayer to be accepted, I
don't start with Islam.
I start with Taheran.
Why? Because Islam is already there.
But John,
I tell him the condition for a prayer
to be accepted, number 1 Islam.
Number 2, Tahara.
Number 3, Satir Al Aura. Number 4,
facing the Qibla.
The
whole law today. Like that.
But does he has to pray? Yes. He
has to. If he doesn't, he will be
punished by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but I
will not tell him you pray because
Allah did not ask me to do that.
But that's the relationship between him and
So, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
So
if the dunya has the value of the
wing of a mosquito,
the kaffir will not have a drop of
water to drink. So dunya is so insignificant
and useless.
That's why Allah lets everyone to do whatever
he wants to do, but in the day
of judgement, everyone will pay the price.
Rasoolah Sallallahu
There will be no Muslim
who will be stepping on a phone.
Means
anything lower. It's not
above, you know, shawqa or lower than that.
Allah
will remove his sins. SubhanAllah. Very lovely religion.
Even this one also, they will be acting
as kafarah for you.
Right. Anything that annoys a Muslim,
a good Muslim is a kafarah for you.
That it's a cause for that and Allah
is doing it to give you relief from
from your sins.
So He says
Allah gave you a lot of examples in
the and parables in the Quran. True?
Yeah. One of them is this. One of
them is the one that we just previously
dealt with about the monothequine. Right?
You know?
There's great message in in it, but, unfortunately,
only
the wise and the
smart and the,
people of consciousness will understand.
You have
Where is this?
Surat Al Hajj, right? The last page in
Surat Al Hajj. I last wanted to give
this example, SubhanAllah. Very, very big and enough
example for the idol worshipers,
for them to understand
what exactly they are doing and how to
quit and the reality of what they are
dealing with. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
You know Ankabut. Right? Spider. Spider.
Do you ever see spider 2 spiders
in one place?
Never.
Never. That's why they said if you go
back to last mile test is in our
Hain al Bujut, in Abu Talangkabut.
The worst type of houses is the house
of Ankkabut.
What is the house of Ankkabut?
See this
website. When there is cold, does it stop
them from getting cold?
When there is high temperature, the heat.
When rain comes,
when wind comes, you know, what kind of
house is this? And they said this is
the external,
you know, part of the the house of
the Ankabut.
Internally, they have no family life.
They're always invited. You can see how Allah
says
And the worst type of house the the
weakest house is the house of Ankabut.
Yeah.
So this is also another example. Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala says
Another example in Suratu,
Zuma. Right?
Sure. That's Zoomer. I'm asking.
Still still still I remember.
So Allah says, So
many other parables
for those who memorize Quran, Allah, you will
see,
them in in his book. So Allah says
he doesn't feel shy of giving any example,
whether with mosquito
or something lower or something
above. And in any example that Allah, subhanahu
wa ta'ala, has given us, any parable there
is, there is a great lesson for us
to benefit from. So he says
The good ones, when they hear these things,
they will say, these are from Allah And
Allah wants us to learn something from this.
You get it? Allah wants us to learn
something from this. So they believe that this
is from Allah
and there is something that we have to
pay attention to in this mathal given by
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to us.
As for the bad ones,
the wrongdoers,
when they hear this they will say what
does Allah
benefit from this example
parable?
And also what does he mean?
Pretend that this is useless and insignificant.
So Allah SWT says,
These amfal
and many things actually when they come, Allah
Subhana Wa Ta'la is bringing them for Tamhis.
To see who will accept
and trust Allah
and agree and
focus and learn and get the message that
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is sending through this
parable to him.
So,
Allah SWT will guide
so many people
because of this.
And others,
Allah will let them go astray.
They don't want to understand. They don't understand
and they don't want to understand.
Allah says,
And who are the people who are misguided
because of this method given by Allah,
Who are the?
Those who went against the obedience of Allah,
this
is a Fasiya.
You know, and Fasiq is somebody who went
against Allah
and disobeyed Allah
So,
they refused to go and understand the message.
They refused to learn. So Allah's wanted to
let them go astray because of their
behaviors.
Yeah. So that was their choice, right? They
choose this
because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta never forced somebody
to go against him.
Allah gave us a free will to choose
what we want to do. Right? So those
who did not choose Allah and they disobey,
Allah will let them
is referring to the believers,
the mumineen.
I'm sorry. Weidlubihi Kathiran
here is referring to the munafiqin,
you know, and the wrongdoers. Right? Wa'idihi Kathirah.
And the second one is referring to the
believers. Uma'idlubihi
illa al Faseqin.
And the first Farsik is a Kafir,
you know.
And the Kufar is the Anwar, the Monafiqin,
is the worst type of
fisk and kufr.
And then you have also
the normal fasr from the mumineen.
Do we have a Farsikh from among the
believers?
Yes.
We have a Farsikh in. A person is
not willing to obey Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
although he has iman, but he's
still,
I mean, he is called Fasiq because of
his disobedience.
So Allah
says,
This ayah has some relation
ship with, salatulrahman
and other matters.
Insha'Allah, I will delay it, made the light
to Allah, until the next class so that
we can do justice to it, insha'Allah.
May Allah grant us good, and Tawfi can
be with us wherever we are.
If there is any question, please come up
with it.
First question for today, question by sister.
Oh.
That's delayed questions.
Right? Attending classes online. How to preserve.
What should we tell her?
Don't go online. Come to a physical class.
Right?
Anyway.
As the the scholars or the wisdom says,
Yeah. Something that you cannot get all of
it,
you shouldn't leave.
I mean, the vast majority of it or
whatever you can achieve.
So as a believer,
you just work based on the available,
You know?
You are within
the range of the class. Come to the
class. It's more beneficial.
You have the tranquility.
You understand more. You have more chance to
interact with the with the speaker, with the
teacher, with the share the scholar, whoever is
teaching.
And also from their actions and from the
way things have been presented also, you'll be
able to understand
more.
However, if this is not possible,
the class is taking place in Malaysia and
you are in Saudi,
India, Bangladesh,
you know, wherever you are, you know, what
to do now?
Unless if you're corrupt
because there are some people who pray in
in Makkah everyday.
I
mean, that's their claim. They say they pray
in Kaaba everyday.
You have those who the Kaaba comes to
them actually.
So if you're not among those losers,
you cannot come to the class.
Yeah. Yeah. When you read, one day, you
will see all of these useless things.
They don't pray at all. But when somebody
asked them, they tell
actually, every day they go to Makkah and
pray there and come back.
Abu Dhabillah.
So if you are in another place, you
cannot attend the class physically.
So what to do in this case?
Either there is a line, a class watch
which we discover after the existence of the
corona. It used to be that, but nobody
is paying attention that,
that much to it.
So after the corona,
then,
almost everything now is online. Meetings are online.
So it has its own benefits for those
who cannot afford coming physically.
You get it?
And it has a lot of side effects.
Yeah.
One of these is that to maintain your
focus is not easy.
Yeah. To maintain your focus is not easy.
Yeah. Especially when,
you have
the
the the video is muted So I don't
see the the lecturer or the teacher, whoever
doesn't see who is there, who is sleeping,
who is attending.
Yeah. In classes like this, I we believe
everyone has attended. Yeah. But in the classes
in the,
you know you know what is there. You
know?
And so you call people by name, nobody
is responding.
Yeah. And after the class, trust me, almost
every time after the class,
you're gonna see the Someone is staying there.
Someone is staying there. Couple of them are
staying there. You go out and come back,
they're still there.
They don't know the class finished.
And the moment you start saying, 'Okole, kole,
hoda' you see 'Quit, quit, quit, quit, quit,
quit, quit, quit, quit, quit, quit, quit, quit,
quit, quit, quit, quit. It's just like they're
just waiting for you to start finishing, you
know.
Yeah.
The reason why you should come to the
class because sometimes you many times, actually, you
need to see the sum of the of
the the scholar, the one who is teaching,
the way they
behave. Yeah. It's really necessary.
In the past, they used to send their
children actually to classes not for their knowledge
itself,
but for the other
other
to just focus and monitor the shame, what
is he doing, and also to do the
same thing in their life.
They send their kids for this
in the past.
So, nowadays this is gone, subhanAllah. Even the
physical one also
And you know the nature of our classes,
right?
Yeah. Wallah. Illa marihimahullah.
Except those whom Allah SWT
Show mercy upon. But when we come to
the class, we come with our phones. Nowadays,
we have the iPad. Everyone has, you know.
Yeah. You see a person you're giving lecture
and that guy is watching YouTube, laughing like
Majinoon.
And you don't mention in the class anything
that can cause laughing. Nobody's laughing actually except
him. What is he laughing at? When you
go to the the phone, you see him
watching something
and laughing.
He will laugh.
Yeah. This is who we are. That's why
you can see the kind of
the the graduate we are producing. Allahu Mustaan.
Allahu Mustaan. What are they benefiting the community
with? 0. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
The idea is just to graduate
and get a good job.
That's it. No, knowledge is not about that.
Universities are not for this.
Schools and classes, you know, halakat, they are
not for this
the place of terbia
where you become somebody,
an ambassador, somebody who represent Islam in promoting
good
and eradicating evil,
giving your contribution to the community, helping, supporting.
You all know, this is how it's supposed
to be. But how do you get this
from your lecturer?
If you're in the class and he's talking
and you're busy with your phone, how does
that work?
Never.
You come to the class the time you
want, you go out the time you want,
you know.
How?
That's why in the past
they tried to be the first in the
class before the before the sheikh.
You know some some go to the class
in the past?
They go to the class and sit in
the majlishe shayikh and there is no class?
And they said because we don't want our
nafs to be familiar with resting.
That there is something called no class today.
So you go to the midst of the
place. When they don't have anything else, they
go and do their revision there.
They'll rise in that place.
SubhanAllah.
I was,
reading
about some students, a lot of, you know.
For 3 days, they couldn't have food.
Nice I mean,
real food to eat.
This is studying.
3 days. They eat. So they drink. They
eat but
something insignificant. They have no time for food.
Yeah.
So
they they mentioned that they they went
in the day number 3, they are going
to meet 1 of the scholars
in his majlis.
So they are told that today there will
be no class.
So they said okay, unfortunately, nalla, but at
least we can have time to now to
go and eat something, yeah.
On the way they bought fish.
They went they just put the fish there
to dry it first after they washed.
And then somebody told them that no, they
saw the sheikh go into the class.
Yeah. Class comes back. So they pack it.
They eat it,
raw, fish on the way. They don't wanna
miss the class.
Now,
no more.
Yeah. No more.
The that's the day we celebrate is the
day the class has been
canceled.
The class has been canceled. That that's celebration.
Well, why we shouldn't do that, you know.
We live with those scholars
and, subhanAllah, no matter how much we try,
we just think that we are not doing
anything, but we're those scholars who are.
SubhanAllah, a different
dimension.
I remember Sheikh,
one of our scholars in Madinah,
his supervisees
he's one of the greatest scholars
in Madinah. His supervisees,
they always get in trouble.
Yeah.
You know, this,
FY
FYPR.
FYPR,
we also have it there,
final year project.
So this sheikh is just treating this one
like a masters. They're writing a thesis for
the masters.
Yeah. These are great scholars and you cannot
play a game. You cannot play around.
Remember this sheikh doesn't accept, you know, using
online research.
In those days, internet is not that much,
available for the student.
But we have some sub wires that
carries a lot of books, so we're gonna
do research and get from there.
And, SubhanAllah,
it's said sometimes when a student go
and present the papers to him, he will
read and tell him, Mazin, where did you
get this?
Mazin will say, I got it from Ibn
Khudama and all this. He said, no, you
got it from those subtwires.
He said, Said, no. No. No. Sheikh, I
got it from Ibn Khudama.
Sheikh Khudalim, k.
There is no way for this topic to
be found in that volume that you mentioned.
Ibn Khudama never talked about this in this
how many we have in, how many volumes
we have in the Mougini?
Around 14 volumes.
I remember that sheikh told,
the student that he read this book 4
times.
You Allah. He kept on mentioning those books
with so many CDs. This one I read
3 times, 2 times, 4 times.
That's why he always tells students, you guys
are not reading.
And that's why sometimes you claim that the
predecessors did not talk about a matter. They
did, but they just did not read it.
So
whoever is under that, scholar
will get into trouble because he used to
deal with that,
final year project, which is supposed to be
just a few pages. Right? As,
like, as if you were writing a PhD
or master's,
thesis. So when the student complained,
this is the reason why I brought the
story when the student complained,
he told
them, I don't know what's what happened to
the students nowadays.
And, SubhanAllah, in our time, yeah,
if the the
imam
what is the name of the one in
front? Imam. If the imam says, as after
the whole prayer, if the imam says
as
what is he going to say? As salawali.
Right? The prayer is over.
Right? Trust me. Maybe
1 third of the Masjid already left.
Anyway,
people are running. Where are they going?
To the canteen
to eat food. Everyone in Russia said that
the good one would not finish.
Yeah.
I remember they said somebody visited the university
and he saw students running right after the
prayers. So he also followed them.
He doesn't know what what happened, you know.
In the middle of the way, everyone stopped.
So he asked, wait a minute. What happened
actually?
They told him, there's nothing.
We're just going to get our food, you
know, before it finished.
He says, wallahi, I thought that was fine.
I was scared of waiting to ask, but
I just followed everyone.
So that was the that was the nature.
But he says in his time, subhanAllah,
he says I remember in our time after
the imam says salaam the same way you
guys are running,
we also run but to the library.
You Allah.
So different, you know. That's why if you
look at their knowledge and you compare it
with ours,
So I really
urge people to be serious as much as
they can. But for the people who cannot
attend classes physically,
yeah, online platform is the best
method we
have. So what can they do? They try
their best to focus,
yeah. Do everything possible to focus and stay
away from anything that can distract.
So if you're at home
where distractions are you have younger siblings, you
have children, you know,
listen to your classes in a place where
they will not reach you.
Stay away from anything that can be stopped.
And also, alternatively,
because if you're at home, anything can happen.
Say, wife is busy listening to
a lecture live lecture.
Husband came back from work.
He wants his food.
He doesn't understand what lecture she is. Yeah.
So what can she do here? Then, make
sure that there is something that is recording
the
the lecture for you, the time you're going
to be upset.
And right after you finish entertaining him, then
come back to the class. And I suggest
after the
the class,
listen to that part which you miss
and take note on it.
K. One of these method, also writing,
which
we don't do these days that much.
Yeah.
In the past, they used to write.
Said bin Jubei used to write whatever he
heard from Abdullah ibn Abbas.
Yeah, he used to write on the paper,
write everything.
When the paper is finished
he used to write on his,
hand everything on his wall.
Yeah. On his leg, on his foot,
chin, you know.
Shin is right on the shoe source.
Everything that can accept strategy is right.
They used to laugh at him.
What are you doing?
He should not care and this is how
the student of knowledge should act.
So he used to write on everything that
he can accept writing. So his colleague used
to laugh at him. So, Halakh, in the
future,
he was the one who was laughing
at them
because they became in the community.
If you talk about tafsir,
he's number 1.
If you talk about fiqh, number 1. Talk
about hadith. Whatever you talk to, you see
that person is number 1. Every single person
amongst them has his own specialization.
But this man is like somebody who is
specialized in everything,
moving in cyclo I mean, university.
Like his sheikh Abdallaigh bin Abbas, because Abdallaigh
bin Abbas is like that.
Whatever comes from him just right.
We don't have this,
behavior now nowadays.
You get it? So I would suggest for
those people who are
attending online also to take note.
And these notes should be
kept aside
after we're done with them. So when am
I going to be done with them?
I wrote in a note. K?
When I reach home, before I sleep, I
make sure that I remember I memorize everything
in my
note. Right. And then I keep the note
aside.
Last. Done with
them. We're not like that.
Right? We write the note, then it will
become another book in my
I shall. Right? Yeah. Whenever somebody else, we
have to go and see what did he
say last time, you know.
No. This is not knowledge.
Knowledge is that we should
remember
inside.
I remember
I mentioned somebody,
the thieves,
took his books and he cried. That was
the only thing he asked.
And the thief was asking him, what kind
of a scholar is you, you know?
That's,
your capital. If the book is gone then,
who are you? Ignorant person.
True? That's how it is. If I if
my knowledge is in my book, when the
book is missing,
who am I? Ignorant.
It. Because that's why the real knowledge is
the one that is inside the heart. Imam
Shafi says,
my knowledge is always with me.
Put it in my chest.
If I'm in the market, knowledge is in
the market.
If I'm at home, knowledge is is at
home.
Ibn Hazm al Zawahiri,
when they
put him in jail
and they burned his book,
What did he do? He took a pen.
He told them, you know, ibn Hazmi. He
says, who told you my knowledge is in
my books?
He wrote another one. Much sophisticated than the
previous one. Just like that.
Ibn al Qayyim, he was on the way
to Hajj wrote
How many volumes of zad al Ma'al? Five
volumes
on the way to Hajj. Says, I have
no time. Please, sorry, I couldn't have time
to sit down and do the good job.
Look at Sir Alam bin Nubala
written by Avdhabi.
What kind of brain is this, you know?
Around 27
volumes,
biography
of the scholars, whoever happened to be counted
as a scholar or narrate Hadith,
you know, his biography is there.
Starting from the companions of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam.
You have you have them, you know, if
you go back you see the way people
are. So it is my personal advice to
all of us, please change this lazy
behavior. We have good in us, that's why
we come to the classes.
Yeah. You Allah, that is good in us.
But how to utilize that good? Unfortunately,
not
many of us know.
We come to the class, right? Yeah.
But trust me, if I'm going to ask
about many things which we did,
many of us will get stuck.
Where are we getting stuck? Because we did
not revise.
Imam al Bukhari, they mentioned
some part of his history that he wakes
up sometimes 13 times
at night. Tell me, what kind of sleep
he is having at night?
Every time he wakes up, he would take
the pen and,
the lantern,
light it up and make a light so
that he can see,
take something.
This is like ideas coming to him when
he is sleeping. Even in their dreams, the
dreams of knowledge comes, you know.
Not dreams of some other things. So when
he wakes up, he remembers something. Write it
down.
Get it? He said the scholars.
SubhanAllah,
they mentioned one of the scholars was sitting
down in the Masjid together with another scholar.
Scholar met a scholar and they were revising
the knowledge.
They started doing this discussion
when?
Isha time.
SubhanAllah. They were there enjoying their discussion
before they realized the Muadhvin is coming for
Fajid to open the the door. They didn't
even know that Fajid comes in.
Yeah. These are the scholars. And this is
how they get that,
know, subhanAllah, huge amount of knowledge and Allah's
wanted to kept their dhikr, their remembrance.
Do we need this today? Yes, we do
need this
today. So please remove the laziness.
They said, this knowledge,
you cannot get it with Biraha Hadid Jisoo.
Trust me. Knowledge, you cannot get it with
Bira Hadid Jisun.
You rest,
no more knowledge.
You have to work.
Many of the scholars get into trouble. Many
lost their life because of the trips they
are going. You know,
Waqid bin Maqleid
went to Imam Ahmad, you know, how many
kilometers thousands of kilometers
to narrate hadith from Imam Ahmad. He became
the best with that effort they made.
That's why this statement of 1 of the
the Maliki's callers is really beautiful.
He says, Atarib
kadamak.
Uh-huh. Complete.
For in Taiba, kadamak.
He said,
tire your feet.
When they get tired, they will bring you
forward.
Yeah. Cut them to the feet. Make them
tired.
The moment they get tired because you have
so many traveling here and there to get
knowledge from this person and that
When they get tired, then they put you
forward. They elevate you in ranking. You'll be
up.
So one of the scholars said, this knowledge
you give little,
I'm sorry, you give all of you, it
gives you a little.
And SubhanAllah is amazing. The more you learn,
the more you discover that you are ignorant.
You know Shah Hussain Midameya. Right?
People will say, we don't think this person
also saw somebody like him in his life.
Even the Kekla'id or one of these scholars,
when he met him, he says this this
person is amazing.
He said, never think of seeing somebody like
this.
He says, I see a person who's like
all the disciplines, all the knowledge. Allah Subhanahu
put them in front of his eyes. He
just takes whatever he wants and speak about
it. And if he talks about tafsir, you
can say, 'Aqsaumu billah'. This man never learned
anything except tafsir in his life.
If he speaks Fiqh, you would think that
he is number 1. The Maliki's are learning
Fiqh from him. Shafi'i who was he? Hambali,
right? Shafi'i, they are learning Fiqh from him.
Hambali is Hanafis, they're learning from him.
Imam al Zahawi,
he says, wa'arabeit wakawiya. He said, this person
is really strong in Arabic language.
That's why when Abu Hayyan Tawhid debated with
him, you know, and Ibn Taymiyyah made him
angry. Ibn Taymiyyah says,
You know, Siboy
is number 1 in the Nahu. Right? The
reference, the father of
I mean, his book is
the most important reference
in the in the nahawk.
And then even Timur is saying that, 'siboy'
is wrong. Abu
Hayyan was annoyed. He said, 'siboy'?
Talk to 'siboy'? You're saying the 'siboy' is
wrong? He said, yes.
Wahalu An Abiyyah Nahu and I love this
so much. He says, Wahalu An Abiyyah Nahu?
Was he the prophet of Nahu?
To say that he will not make a
mistake. And this is a very interesting statement,
I'm telling you. Because the moment you start
believing that Sheikh Hammad will never be wrong,
then you're going to be deviated.
Right, Hammad?
You know, because this is who we are.
We're right sometimes and we are wrong sometimes.
If I claim that my sheikh cannot be
wrong, trust me this is the beginning of
deviation
because I'm going to take from him blindly
and he is a human being who makes
mistakes.
So that's why ibn Samiyeh told him, oh,
see boy he was he the prophet of
Naha? Because a prophet is the only one
who cannot make mistaken language.
There's no way for you to say, Rasuulah,
is strong in his speech.
We take the way
we speak, we correct our speeches with the
way of the Prophet That's why if you
can establish that this is the hadith
said by the Prophet
then it is enough. Enough as a reference
in the way people can speak. This is
the way we should say it in Arabic
language
because they are guided by Allah
But the thing is, how to confirm that
this is what he says? The Rawi did
not say it in his own words. Because
sometimes it is Hadith is narrated
in the word of Darawi.
Yeah. The prophet
said the thing, but these are not his
words. Yeah. It might be the word of
Darawi.
That's why the controversy lies.
So even Temia told him,
I'm going to show you in the book
of Seaboy not less than 80 places if
you wish. All of them are wrong. Siboi
is wrong.
That's worse than before. At least before he
says he was wrong once, right? But now
he's telling him that he can, draw his
attention on 80 places in Nahu where Sibo
is wrong.
Subha Allah. They mentioned that somebody did research,
but I did not see that research in
Madina,
talking about these places where Sheykh al Islam,
Mittemia, believes that Sibo is wrong. Yeah. And
some of them, according to the researchers, Sibo
is right and Evutemia
is wrong. And some of them, even Temia
is right and Sibo is wrong.
Yeah. Because Sibo is not
Nabi you have in Ummah, you know.
He makes a mistake also. So
the purpose of all of this is to
motivate you, to push you up,
insha'Allah, to make you somebody. Please do revise.
Yeah.
Knowledge without revision
is like somebody who has wealth
without pain, there's a cap. That's why they
said
It's a constantly revised knowledge
because the existence of knowledge and continuation of
that which you have is based on mudakar,
how much he revised it.
You get it? That's why
I know many people, like, I witnessed a
person who went to Madinah,
actually before us,
you
know, before us, we reached the balance of
those great scholars, alhamdulillah.
But in that time,
it's just
but in subhanallah, he used to come to
one of my classes.
I'm telling you, if he did not tell
me that he was in Madinah, I would
never believe.
Because even the questions he asks is the
question of a very simple layman.
What happened? What did he do in that,
in that place?
So I'm pretty sure
they graduate and they have, but since you
don't revise,
slowly, slowly the knowledge will be gone.
Things which which you study with people the
same,
in the same class they used to be
with you. But then now they forgot almost
everything.
Why is that? Because they don't revise it.
Yeah. That's why I said zakat for the
knowledges
to teach, and teaching is
one type of mother car.
Yeah. In the past days, he revised
in any way.
In any way,
You Allah. You might say, well these are
are they okay? No, they're okay.
We should question ourselves whether we're okay or
not. If he goes to the house,
he couldn't find anything sometimes except
a Jaria. His female slave. She she doesn't
know anything about Hadith.
But he would tell her, please just sit
down here. Let me tell you something.
She would tell you, what am I going
to do with these guys that you are
mentioning? He said, no problem. Just listen. Just
listen. Because he cannot just sit down and
talk to himself. He needs somebody to talk
to. And, subhanallah, they told us sometimes if
they couldn't find any human being to talk
to, they go to animals, the sheep in
the house, sit down next to the sheep,
hadith and his Muhammad ibn Hammad.
Hadith and his sufianis authority, you know, talking
to sheep.
They just want to to to tell the
brain that there is somebody we are telling
her.
You get it? Yeah. So I really urge
you to develop this culture
of learning,
taking note, coming to the class early, leaving
at the last person you will leave the
class.
Yeah. You get it? That's why if you
are in a class,
you see that the the sheikh, whoever is
if you're not in a hurry, necessity, trust
me,
you should be the last person to
leave because there's gonna be people asking questions.
You shouldn't miss those ones
Because question and answers sometimes are
used to address matters that the Sheikh missed
in the lecture.
And sometimes,
maybe throughout the class,
this matter, he will never discuss it. Right?
Because somebody asked, then he will discuss it
through the questions.
So only those few who remain
behind with that person will be able to
to get this.
That's why, subhanAllah, in Madinah, whenever the class
finish, you will see people sometimes follow the
sheikh into his car.
Yeah. They wanna get everything. Whoever is asking,
they'll listen.
Just like the journalists, sometimes with their phones
and thinking.
Yeah. They don't want to miss anything.
So develop this culture.
Go into the class early, having strong interest,
taking note, revising everything,
you know, before you sleep.
Yeah. Revising everything before you sleep and keep
revising from time to time.
So So the people who are behind the
screen, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala love you because
I see there are some people that are
really regular attendance. They don't miss.
And it looks like also they're always awake
because you can see answers are coming whenever
we ask questions. They're deeply involved. And sometimes
much quicker than people who are,
present in the class.
So try your best and seek the support
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and focus and
take note. That will help you to focus
in the class.
Taking note will help you so much to
focus in the class. Yeah. Because, you know,
if you're not focusing then you will miss
what?
The the sheikh, whosoever.
And he said, you see.
May Allah grant us good and love all
of you and be with you wherever you
are. Okay.
If someone is specifically having difficulties memorizing names,
the names of the Sahaba and narrators.
Is this due
to insufficient revision or could it be Insufficient.
Revision. If someone can memorize Yes. Like, Hadith
and Quran Yes. And stories, but he has
difficulty recalling names.
There's insufficient revision.
He has to focus and don't rush.
Yeah. Don't rush.
That's why one of the thing I benefit
from one of our contemporary scholars,
He said he read somewhere.
He says, I did not understand this because
our scholars used to say that. Very young
person, but, subhanallah, this statement he said, I
was callously to tell us,
something which I did not understand it until
after later time I got it.
So I want you to open this puzzle
for me.
I
think you should probably lose this. You know?
No. I want you to open the puzzle.
Because if you look at it, Sahib Bukitab
Afolominsai b'alfikitab, it doesn't make sense.
I'm I wrote 1,000 books.
You wrote only 1.
How can you be better than me?
You get it? I read 1,000 books. You
read only 1.
How can you be better than me?
Tehran.
It doesn't make sense. No. Even not not
necessarily Tehran.
Because you see
hate like this.
Trust me. I can sit down in 1
night if I pressure myself. Insha'Allah, the next
morning, I finish this.
Done. Finish finish. I went through everything.
But I shouldn't forget, I'm not Imam
Shafi.
Imam Al Shafi, they even make jokes. They
say when he want to memorize
something let's say he wants to memorize this
page. He has to cover this one
because whatever his eyes catches is already memorized,
and he wants only this one.
Sheikh Alemany Shanketi,
and he, we we study under some of
his, students many of his students.
One of them told us that only one
person can follow his class in writing, can
write take note in his class.
Sheikh Al Amini Shankid, only one person can
take note in the class.
Why? Because he's very quick. And that person
is somebody who writes without dot and harakat.
'Jimkha'.
If you stop to write the dot, he
already passed.
They make jokes. They say when he teach,
he does like this.
Like that. Like this. Like that.
So they say somebody asked him,
Sheikh, why you push your hand like this
and that?
He said because the moment I start talking,
so many issues will keep on coming. I
don't want them. I don't I want only
this one.
Nowadays, you are trying to think about
what to say also is gone. You're trying
to look for it. Where is it?
Subhanallah, whether it is true this is what
he said or not. Subhanallah, this is Zudia.
If you listen to the
lessons of Sheikh Al Amin Shankriti,
you will understand, yes, that, yes, definitely, you're
dealing with somebody at that capacity.
They ask him, Sheikh, why in your class,
you know, tafsir class,
Sheikh would talk about lugar as if this
is the Nahu class,
as if this is Balagha class. He talk
about Aqidah, as if this is Aqidah class.
He talks about Fekk as if this is
Fekk class.
They told him, Sheikh, why in your class
there is no focus on one thing?
He said, yes. Because I have different types
of people coming to my class,
so I try to make sure that everyone
get
what brought him here.
There are scholars. There are students who are
specializing in Arcada. I want them to go
with something. There are students who are specializing
in language. I want them to get
started. They said,
The one who likes something cannot give it
to others.
Why does he talk about every discipline?
Because he's studying all those disciplines.
Yeah. Why can't we do? Because we don't
study them.
So, Sahib al Kitab Afdal bin Sahib al
Fitab is talking about the person who focuses.
So, I can finish this within one day,
2 days.
And I can also sit on this book
for 1 year reading this book.
But how do I read? Yeah. I go
one page, I read.
A place I focus so much. I write
some talikat at the side, you know. So
before I finish this page, I move to
another page. If somebody is to ask me
about this page, I can tell you whatever
is in that page. Who said what? With
the names.
So if you go this kind of reading,
usually you will be able to remember who
said what.
But if you go so fast, in one
page you have like 15, 20 names. How
do you remember all of these names? And
how do you manage to link this statement
to the
Do you get it? In the past, they
revised a lot. That's why this, Muhadid,
he came to the house and he started
revising his hadith.
Raiding, reading, reading.
His grandmother at home,
an old woman, his grandmother at home, she
memorized the whole thing. He he's reading 100
hadith.
She memorized them because he kept on repeating
them.
She told him, son, what are you doing?
He said, I'm trying to memorize. She said,
trying to memorize? He said, yes. She said,
I already finished.
He said, oh, really? She said, yes. He
said, okay. Can you tell me?
She recited all of those,
grandmothers of those days. Anyway, so she recited
all of those ones,
that he was reading.
So the boy the man said, oh, that's
interesting.
K. He closed the pitch. He keeps rising.
After a few days,
he came back to her. He said,
grandma, can you help me to to can
you remind me those hadith that you memorized?
She tried to remember any one of them,
she forgot.
He said, you see the difference. Right? You
are blaming what I was reading. Right? He
said, you see the difference. I can read
all of them now to you. I don't
forget.
And I'll close this with one,
story of Imam al Bukhari, which is Mashurah,
when they mentioned the empty hand in,
one of the the CTC visited. The scholars
decided to test him.
A group of scholars. Right?
Each one of them brought hadith.
Took all together 100 hadith.
What they do is, like all of us,
right, Hammad will narrate the hadith of Nama
al Amal ibn Niyat.
But then he'll say this, Abu Hurairah narrated
it.
And they put the chain of narration. The
chain. They will mention all of the chain.
And,
Hassan would narrate the hadith of, Abdul Adbas'ud
in the hadith community but then he said
this is narrated by 'Abdulay ibn Umar, for
instance, and mention different is not for it.
So, Hanallahu, imagine each one of them is
mentioned in a hadith with different chain of
narration, mess it up. He is the one
who put it in his own way, not
the correct one. And they asked Imam Abu
Khali, do you know this hadith? He said
no.
And he said how come people see you
as the Amirul muminin in hadith but he
don't know this one? He said I don't
know.
Never heard of them.
You never heard of them? He say yes.
Because you, the hadith you mentioned,
this is not strong. The is not of
that person is supposed to be here.
SubhanAllah, those scholars
were saying we are not amazed of his
memorization.
No. But how does he remember
what each and every one of them the
mess that is produced by each and every
one of them? He was able to remember
that.
Their brain is not like ours.
Right? Are they human beings? Yes.
But why their brain so sharp? Ours is
alabola katinda.
You get it. Why?
Because they're too much
stay away from?
Yes.
He said, I told Waqiya, my my sheikh
Waqib Nizhara, a very big scholar in hadith.
He said I told him that I'm facing
some difficulties
in,
memorizing the knowledge
in remembering. You know who is Mohammad Shafi?
They give they use him as an example
of how strong,
brain and memory should be.
So he said I I was facing difficulty
in memorization. And then I told,
my Sheikh.
He said,
Muhammad, you should know that knowledge
is a light from Allah.
And the light from Allah cannot be given
to the heart of a sinner.
Alright.
So let's conclude
this. The more you have the taqwa, the
more you you learn. That's why Allah says.
The real
have the top one of Allah, Muhammadu, and
you learn,
you learn more.
Is that clear?
Inshallah, whoever I do not address their question
next, class, we will deal with that.
Sorry
for, for that.
