Yes, mate. How would I in by
the head?
So
we talk about,
the time when Allah created Adam,
and he told angels about,
the creation of Adam,
that he's going to do that. And the
angels, they
reply to Allah
in that which in that way, you
you remember
where they said,
Today, we're talking about,
the possibility of whoever is going to,
be placed on the earth to,
be involved in corruption
and destruction.
And Allah told them,
I know what you what you don't know.
So this is where we where we stopped.
Then
I
guess this one also we we did that
before we stopped the classes.
Taught Adam the name names of all things.
How will I include
to Sadafin?
And then Allah
please those names to to the angels.
And,
sorry, those
entities and objects to the angels and ask
them to to tell him about the names
of those things.
So Allah
taught Adam
what to say and the name of everything
and everything everything that is possible for him
to to know.
So he says,
and then
Allah
presented those things to angels and asked them
to
inform him about the names
of those, things.
And if they have, big knowledge,
you know, and if they are thinking in
this way, then the last part, we tested
them and also to let them understand that,
an intellectual
and a smart creation is going to be
placed on the earth.
It is not in the way they they
are thinking about.
And Allah,
So names of things.
This is this, this is that. You know?
Differences of opinion amongst us call us, but
Allah says we taught him the names of
every everything
to those things that are around him and
tell them this is Adam. I'm sorry. This
is,
Mikhail. This is Jibril. This is,
this and this and that. Whatever is in
front of him, Allah
taught him the names of, those things and
others.
And then Allah
presented those things to angels
and asked them to tell him the names
of these things.
So
last,
that's also if you remember, we quoted the
hadith of Shafa
where
this meeting is being confirmed
that,
people when they,
reach that tough
kind of, situation,
they go to Adam and praise him. 1
of the the statements
mentioned by the people to Adam
to convince
you know, in trying to convince him to
accept their offer to go and intercede for
them with Allah
is that they told him,
Allah
taught you the names of all things.
So there's a favor and a Kaaba
from Allah
to the human human beings.
And so Allah
presented those things
to the angels.
So he told them, tell me
those, things.
Allah says
Tell me the names of those things if
you are, truthful,
in your statement.
And this is, interpretation of some scholars in
your
in
your claim that whatever I I create, you
have some,
knowledge about what exactly
that,
thing is going to be engaging,
in.
So in.
So Allah says,
if you truly know what will happen to
this creation, so then tell me the names
of these things that are, next to you.
So
so
they said,
glory be to you. They said,
you
know, to praise Allah
and also to show that Allah
is free from all types of deficiencies.
Allah
doesn't have any deficiency whatsoever,
and deficiency or
cannot be attributed to Allah in any in
any way. The most complete, the most perfect,
and there is no perfection beyond the perfection
of Allah
and that of his is endless.
Yeah. This is the most excellent, the most
powerful, the most perfect. So that's the last
part. When you say, Subhanallah,
you should have this understanding in your brain
that you are actually believing
or saying that a last matter does not
have efficiency.
So when you act,
actions,
statements,
you have to suffer.
You should be reflecting,
this,
you know, doing
nothing except that which will confirm that you
believe that Allah is the most, perfect and
the most
excellent.
So
Allah
received from the angels that statement.
Call us.
He
said, glory be to you,
Actually, we don't have any knowledge except that
which you taught us.
Sorry.
Other than that which we received from you,
we don't have anything else.
We have no knowledge except that which you
taught us. Subhanallah.
You
are Al Ali.
Means the all knowing,
the one who knows everything
with no restriction.
Yeah. Means
all know. The one who knows everything with
no with no restriction.
Alim
is the one who knows everything with no
with no restriction.
Al Hakim,
the most
wise,
one of his,
attribute is al Hikma.
What is al Hikma?
Putting things in their own proper position. That's
hikmah.
They put things in their own proper position.
This is what we call
al Hikma. So Allah
is
knowledge is adorned with when Hikma is attached
to, the Hikma.
You know, because there are people who have
knowledge, but they lack the wisdom. So nobody
should come and think that the knowledge of
Allah is equal to those ones. That's one
of the meaning
of SubhanAllah.
You know, Subhanaka. Allah,
meaning the knowledge is full of wisdom. Most
complete and comprehensive knowledge,
which comp,
encompasses everything.
And, also,
it is not,
attached to,
deficiency,
what so whatsoever.
So
We don't have knowledge except that which we
you taught us.
You are
and you are Al Hakim. Al Ali means
the one who knows everything. So this IR
also is going against,
is going against,
the
those of who
are believing that a lost doesn't know something.
You know? Because they are claiming that Allah
does not know what we are doing until
the time we do it. Allah only knows
what we are doing when we while we
do it.
Whatever
they're saying is an absolute
false.
It is false.
You know, creating
a lie attributed to Allah
and a great deficiency to Allah
Allah knows everything with no restriction.
And in fact, our deed
our deed, the knowledge of our deed is
part of Allah
Knowing what we are doing is part of
Allah. This is.
There was no time when Allah doesn't know
something. No time.
And, these things, you know, what we are
doing, you know, whatever we are doing, they
have been written. Not just knowing them. No
knowledge is with Allah
with no beginner. You get it? And the
the the,
I mean, Allah, he wrote the the knowledge.
He wrote it, you know, 50,000
years. These things that we're doing, including our
class now,
Allah wrote
it 50,000
years before the creation of the heavens and
the earth.
50,000 years before the heavens and the earth
were created, Allah knows,
he wrote these things. And then somebody will
come
in this time of hours
and then claim that Allah doesn't know what
he does.
Means the one whose knowledge has no restriction.
Al Hakim. Al Hakim means the one who
is the old wise, The one who
does things
based on wisdom. Allah never did something which
is not, you know,
which which doesn't have wisdom in it. Allah
doesn't do this because doing things without having
a wisdom behind and doing them, This is
what is called.
Means play,
and Allah
does not does not play.
You get it?
So Allah
knows everything, and this is also a good
news to every Muslim.
Any whatever situation you are in, you should
remember that that Allah is there. He knows
what is going on. You're
oppressed by somebody, remember that Allah knows. He
knows your position. He knows your situation, and
he watches.
And he sees whatever is going on. Actually,
what that oppressor is thinking about doing with
you, lost partner, has everything in detail, which
the oppressors don't know, actually. Some of the
things they might be doing, they don't even
know even know, and
all of it.
So
what is your, I mean,
solution,
your protection? Raul Alimi. Just go back to
him. He knows everything. He knows what what
exactly is going on, all the oppression that
is taking place in,
in your your life, you know, from
others. So when you result back to him,
Israel, I have Zojal, you will get the
support from from
him. Allah
to add it. Since the angels, they failed
to tell Allah
the names of those things. Allah
said, yeah, Adam.
He says, Adam, tell them the names of
those things.
You know, they fail. Allah
now come back to Adam and ask him
to tell them the names of those things.
When Adam, alaihis salam, told them the names
of those things,
Then Allah
told them, didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you that I am the
knower of the the unseen in the heavens
and the earth? Whatever happened
and whatever is happen and whatever will happen
in the future, didn't I inform you that
I know all of this? And that's what
Gulani mean. He knows all the tenses, all
of the
the the knowledge, you know, of the past.
Allah knows the past, and he knows the
present, and he knows the the future.
And, also, I know whatever you are hiding
and whatever
you are exposing,
whatever you hide and whatever you expose, Allah
says,
I know everything,
you you know, with no
restriction,
including that which people are are hiding.
So
Allah knows
that's unseen in the heavens and also on
on the earth.
Like what
Allah says,
This is whether you expose your statement, you
say it loudly, or you hate it. Allah
said,
Allah knows the secret
and what goes beyond the secret, actually.
What goes beyond
the the the
the the the secret?
And what is what goes beyond the secret?
You know? And here also is a place
of controversy among these corners. What exactly is
the thing that is beyond the secret? A
secret is what, Elon?
You kept it a secret. Some said, what
are you informed? Some people, you don't inform
others, and some said, what you kept it
in
in the in the in in your in
your heart. You don't share with others. Some
said what you are thinking of telling, and
the secret is what you keep it with
yourself. And the other one is what doesn't
come your brain, but you're going to,
to to to decide or to think about
it whatsoever. Inshallah, when we Surah to,
we discussed that.
That
is a very good, you know,
reminder to all of us that whatever you're
doing, Allah
knows your secret.
Whatever you are saying, Allah knows what you're
saying. Whatever you hide, Allah knows what you
are you are hiding.
You are hiding, and I know what you
are exposing. So
now let's call us also talk,
a lot concerning
what does the mean when he says,
Angels, what are they hiding?
What are they hiding? Because
you might be thinking in a negative way,
and that's the reason why since Chey Pan
is amongst them, you know, the command when
it comes includes him also.
You get it? And the instructions and the
commands and the the the speeches, whatever comes,
it includes,
not because he's an angel, but because he's
in that place.
So the when it comes is also included.
So some of the scholars said, actually, Allah
says,
when I lost my class is, Mark going
to talk to what he's referring to,
yeah, that arrogance that he was hiding.
You know, animals created. Shivan did not say
anything.
Did not comment and go against Allah,
so he was hiding.
And this thing was exposed when Allah
commanded
the angels to execute to
Adam Alaihi
as Sarah. So,
some said, lots more things referring to the
arrogance,
you know, and the jealousy,
you know, and the deception, you know, deceiving
himself that he is the best that he
as he is going to be saving the
in the next Ayah. Allah
says,
I know what you are hiding.
I know what you are exposing.
What they're exposed is that they're saying,
used to be always.
And,
some scholars said,
is
referring to angels. And, according to them,
what they are hiding is they, they think
that Allah
is not going to create anyone amongst the
creation except that they will be better
than that, creation in terms of
AI, that approach.
So many scholars said, Macron to talk tomorrow
is referring to the shape on, and you
have other,
scholars
who believe that,
last matter, he says,
he is referring to the the,
what do you call? The angels themselves.
And they explained that what they hide is
that,
belief that no creation will come to accept
that they are the best. Because looking at
the fact that constantly,
you know, 247,
these engines, they are
in act of worship worshiping the lost
man who.
This is also the segment of, imagery.
So,
taken from, imagery, he says the best,
amongst all of those opinions
is the statement of Abdullah ibn Abbas. When
he says,
the meaning of
Allah says,
together with my knowledge, the knowledge he mentioned,
he says,
I know
that will up the unseen
in the heavens and the earth.
Whatever you say with your tongue, Allah
says, I know that one. And, also,
whatever you hide in in your chest also,
I know it. Allah says,
Nothing is going to be missing from my
knowledge.
Nothing is going to be missing.
You know, it's the same as you call.
Whether you say something in secret or you
say it in in public and out loud,
a last pronouncement says it
with me, there is no difference. I
said
you
say it or you hide it,
says it's all the same to me.
It says,
what they expose,
and we're still talking about the statement of,
Ibnu Jeredatabari.
He says,
their statement,
I mean, their statement,
And
this sorry. I lost the place.
He says,
the one that they exposed, Allah
He said the one that they exposed,
be a listener to him.
Are you going to place on earth? Who
is going to cause corruption on earth? So
this is what Allah is referring to when
he says,
This part of the statement,
Allah
is referring to their statement.
Are you going to put on earth somebody
who is going to do nothing except corruption?
He says and the one that they are
hiding
is the one that Shaipan is hiding. As
I said earlier,
Shaipan is included in the commands of Allah
because he is with them.
Not because he's one of them, but he
is with them. He's amongst them. He's not
an angel by nature, but since he is
there worshiping Allah
Allah with the angels, when the command comes,
it includes whoever is is found to be
to be there. So when Allah says or
my content at what is likely is treating
the Chetan, Iblis,
as one of them, not because he's an
angel.
So what does the last
means by saying?
Says, this is what Iblis was hiding in
his in his heart about
arrogant and going against
the commands of Allah
So this is the best approach,
not to, say that angels are hiding something,
but to keep it with
Iblis.
Looking at the fact that he is located
in the place where angels are worshiping Allah.
Allah
says to the prophet,
you
should,
remind
people and inform them about another karama of
Allah
upon to human beings.
And this karama
is when Allah,
muhammad ta'ala, asked the angels to make sujood
for Adam,
not in the sense of worship, but to
to,
respond to the command of Allah.
It's generally Adam. Allah
asked them to make sujood.
And all of them make that sujood except
Iblis.
Abba
was Takbab. Iblis Abba. Abba means
refuse to,
obey the command of Allah
was,
and he showed
arrogance.
He is
he became amongst
the Kufa.
This is karamah that Allah
gave a human means.
In the past, the previous ayah also shows
karamah that Allah's place on human beings where
Allah favored them over the angels
through knowledge.
And that shows that,
my dear brothers and sisters, it is a
great deficiency
for somebody not to be amongst the scholars
or student of knowledge.
Anyhow, it's a great deficiency. That's why the
prophet
said,
Allah
says dunya is curse,
and whatever is found in the dunya is
also curse.
As except
or something that is related to it.
Or
a student of knowledge
or a knowledgeable
person.
These are the only people who are not
affected by this person.
It's a great deficiency not to have knowledge
in this brain.
And it's a very big deficiency for a
person to go back to a lost mountain
the way you came.
We came with no knowledge.
And the last one to respect him and
favor us with knowledge. Even the bird, when
it has knowledge, it gets some,
privileges.
Dog, when it has knowledge, Allah
favor,
that dog
and
respect that dog.
It comes into the book of Allah.
Even dog at home is around,
except the dog that is trained
to do hunt
or the dog that is trained
to act as a security in the farm
or to take care of the sheep.
Subhanallah. That knowledge give them this privilege to
escape
this rejection
in in our sharia.
So you want a high position with Allah
study study. Whenever we say knowledge, we're talking
about the knowledge of Sharia because this is
what will
protect you in this dunya.
This is what will elevate you in ranking
in this dunya
and make you a better person in the
eyes of Allah
and also grant you a good position when
you meet Allah
on
on the day of judgment.
It grants you a better position when you
meet Allah
on on the day of judgment.
And it also grants you a better position
when you
when you meet Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
says,
Allah elevated the ranking of those people who
believe in him,
especially the scholars amongst them. Allah
says,
How is it possible for you to think
of comparing between a knowledgeable person and an
ignorant?
How is it possible for you to think
of, you know, equating between these,
2?
Allah
says, It is not halal for
the believers to move all of them.
SubhanAllah, this is a very noble
act of worship.
People are rushing to do
to defend the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, it
shouldn't go all of them. There has to
be some group of people who will stay
behind and go and study and get the
knowledge and spread it to
and spread it to to others.
That shows the virtue
of knowledge. SubhanAllah, when you go to the
sunnah of the prophet
you see a lot A lot a lot
of praise
by the prophet
for knowledgeable,
you know, to the extent. And in the
Quran, go back to the Quran, Allah
said,
You know, you find you wanna find the
person who fears Allah
Look at this. Call us.
The best people who fear Allah
Allah
says, other scholars.
If you look at the siak of the
aya,
you know, it's like Allah
telling you that nobody fears him except the
scholars.
They are the one who fears the last
part. It's like nobody is fearing the last
part except the scholar.
And this is also a good, you know,
reference for us to understand that the real
knowledge, and that would increases your your.
The real knowledge is that would increases your.
If the knowledge is not going to increase
your,
that knowledge is going to be upon you.
That's why knowledge
necessitate actions.
Knowledge necessitate
actions.
Remember, as I told you, last time,
that
there was a a scholar who is criticized
by,
by some students who think
they have a lot of knowledge, you know,
which
put them at the position to talk against
the scholars in the way we have nowadays
also.
So
Sorry.
So,
they talk against that scholar, and,
the criticism against him
is because
he prays a lot of, sunnah prayers.
Imam al Zahabi, when he talks about this
person,
he says,
When he talks about him and defended him,
he said,
Is there any value to acknowledge if a
person doesn't put it into into action?
We do have, people I'm telling you the
truth. If you pray a lot of prayers,
you know, even in the Masjid of the
prophet, you're rushing to go to the first
line all the time. They call you a
sufi. They call you many types of names,
different types of names,
because they don't do that, and shaitan is
deceiving them also to go and distract other
people who are doing
that. So Imam al Zabi says,
So the knowledge that is not taking you
to the level of action, this knowledge is
going to be against you when you meet
Allah. So promise Allah say, well, Quran
is.
You know, it's gonna be evidence
and defense,
you know, for you,
or it's going to be defense against you.
Defense for you when you put it into
action.
Defense against you when you don't act upon
it.
Defense for you when you put it into
action.
Defense against you when you don't act
upon it. So there are so many, you
know, from the sunnah of the prophet
to support, knowledge. The prophet
has said,
You know, he says,
He
He said the student of knowledge.
Everything
is asking Allah
to forgive.
Everything is asking Allah to forgive the student
of knowledge. It says
including
the fish in the sea. Everything, including the
fish in the
sea.
It says
including the ants in the holes.
They are also asking Allah to forgive your
sins.
Imagine an act of worship in this in
this way.
And, also, he says,
Angels, they put their feathers,
you know,
in you know, out of respect
to the student of knowledge
because of what he because of what he
is doing.
And those, when they see a student of
knowledge, they put their wings down
in a sense of respect to their student
of knowledge.
This is who you are. Right, dear brother?
And sisters, if you are sincere and you
are serious and you are doing things for
the sake of Allah
and you are patient, this is who you
are in the eyes of Allah
The prophet
said, we have people gathering themselves in the
place, worshiping Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
And,
I'm sorry, guiding themselves in a place and
studying, you know, prophet
said, Allah will send angels to come and
cover them, you know, angels to come and
sit with them. And when they go back
to Allah, and Allah will
cover them with his mercy.
When they go back to Allah,
Allah will ask them, how did you find
my state?
They will tell
Allah exactly in details, and then Allah, he
already knows what happened. I mean, what exactly
those people are doing. He will tell them,
you, be the witness that I forgive all
of these people. Whoever is there, Allah will
say to them, I forgive them.
And then the angels will say,
dear Allah, there is somebody amongst them who
is not paying attention to the deaths.
Yeah. Like our classes. Yeah. But
he also has good in him. Although he
comes to the class to play with his
phones, he comes to the class to get
busy with something else, but,
he is there in the class, but better
than the person who did not come to
the class.
So the angels will say this.
They will tell Allah but,
you Allah, you forgive everyone there, but that
is somebody who is not even listening.
So embarrassing you, Allah, for indulge to take
this record about us. You know, that we're
there in the class, but we're playing, getting
busy with the Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube and
whatever.
You know? It's it's embarrassing.
But then
because of the fact of the value of
those people,
a person shouldn't choose to be among those
whom angels will be reporting to Allah that
they are not busy, you know, listening to
the task.
Because look at the respect Allah
has
upon those people who are busy studying and
serious in their education,
and they go to the.
Allah
will tell the angels,
these are the people.
Whoever sit next to them when the mercy
of Allah
comes to them, we include him. So,
You're so excellent.
Allah respect them so much in the way
when he send the mercy to them. Whoever
is next to them also would get from
that, blessing. So if that person also receive
a portion of that mercy, what do you
think about the people who are paying attention?
Therefore,
my dear brothers and sisters, please take this
message from the prophet so much seriously.
Be in the classes. Don't miss a class.
Always go to the class
and always be attentive to the class.
Listen. This is for your own benefit.
You will appreciate this when you read Allah
subhanahu
wa ta'ala. The prophet
said,
the
prophets,
they did not leave anything to be inherited
except knowledge.
And, therefore, whoever takes from the knowledge,
definitely,
he got a great portion of the niyama
and the blessing from Allah
So they are the scholars.
The heirs of the prophets, they are the
scholars because a prophet
doesn't leave anything to be inherited, but they
left this huge and intensive amount of
knowledge to be taken
by the people. So whoever wants respect,
want his ranking to be elevated in this
dunya,
he should
seek the knowledge. Who was Imam Abu Ghari?
He was a was a normal
person.
A Muslim.
Muhammad,
knowledge, all of these one, they became great
scholars because of their attachment to the knowledge
knowledge of the sunnah of the prophet
This is who we are, and this is
also how it is. If you have the
knowledge
if you have the knowledge,
bring you bring you up as the poet
says.
Knowledge brought a house that doesn't have foundation
up.
Raise the people in that house up.
And the ignorance.
Ignorance bring down
the noble house
and destroy it and tarnish the image of
that of that house. So to cut the
story short, there are so many so many
said by the prophet
said, if Allah
wants good for any one of us,
Allah will grant him ability to
master
the knowledge.
If Allah wants
good for somebody, Allah wants to grant you
an in-depth in-depth,
understanding
of the religion. So when Allah wants good
for a person, Allah grants him knowledge.
1 of our scholars said this
shows indirectly that if a lot doesn't work
good for a person,
you will take him away from the knowledge
and the people of learning.
So my dear brothers and sisters, it should
be more than enough for you to be
highly motivated,
to take your classes seriously.
Yeah. Take your classes seriously. When you live
this life,
trust me. What you will live with is
the knowledge.
The fear of Allah is the knowledge. This
is this are the thing that will go
with you. I'm not saying that doing your
knowledge is not important. No. It is.
It is if you have good intention and
you use it in a way benefits you
and the
It is going to
be one of the means where you get
a lot from Allah
But the first
knowledge to be included in all of these
virtues,
and the one that is intended is the
knowledge of the sharia
of Allah
because this is what helps you, you know,
to do that which happened to be the
objective of your existence.
I have never created human beings,
except
to worship me.
So whatever can help you to know what
to do to please the lost mountain in
this regard, it should be the best thing
a Muslim should be busy with. So don't
go and engage in the knowledge of the
dunya without, you know, studying the. For
Allah, he will regret whatever assistance. He will
regret,
and nobody will love to regret when he
meets in
the hereafter.
So
that's, the little I can say. I will
conclude this with the statement of Imam Ahmed.
Muhammad.
Knowledge
doesn't have anything to be, you know,
equate,
with, you know,
to be, you know, com compared with you
know, there is nothing which is equal to
knowledge, Mohammad said.
As long as the intention is good.
Because nothing is gonna be accepted by Allah
if you don't do it in the way
Allah asked you to do it. And if
we're saying this, it is necessary for you
to learn. And this knowledge is not going
to be,
a valuable thing for you unless if you
do it for the sake of
Allah.
So that's,
the best place to to stop in the
next, there is I will go back to
the
saying
of
Allah's
there is any question, please, come up.
Yes. There's 2 questions.
The first being,
a brother asks,
Does every single hadith need explanation,
even simple ones?
A brother ask?
He asks, does every single hadith need an
explanation, even the simple ones?
No.
That's the approach of the liberalist.
Yeah. When they want to reject the sunnah
of the prophet,
they will tell you everything needs explanation. No.
There are things which are very clear. And,
did not explain
things to the companions. Few things which they
don't understand, they ask. And this is Arabic
language.
Whoever understands Arabic should understand. Yes. For sure,
there are some, you know,
information we need explanation because these are matters
of fact, matters
of, matters of this and that. You know?
But the vast majority of it if you
master the Arabic language, you should understand
what exactly the
explained the Quran,
you know, how many times the prophet explained
the ayat of the Quran to the companions.
Very little. Aisha,
said very little. And if you look at
the authentic sunnah of the prophet
when it comes to the translation of the
Quran,
very little,
which means the vast majority of it
is, clear to everyone.
The same goes to the sunnah of the
prophet You get it? So if a person
knows Arabic language, he should know the meaning
of most of these things that prophet
say.
You get it? And there are things
which you need explanation,
from the scholars. You have to get explanation
from the scholars for you to avoid getting
deviation. But there are simple
you know, especially those of Akhla,
manners and virtues, you know, things that talking
about history,
you know, wisdom.
They're simple. You know? They have to be
like that so that everyone can be able
to understand them and put them into action.
If they are too tough and difficult in
a way, you have to go and look
for the scholars to explain everything for you
then.
What is the point of including
every single person, you know, in terms of
acting upon that which.
The
bad winds
They understand
what. They're not scholars. They don't know what
knowledge is all about, but they understand those
simple
hadith
of the prophet.
We also like that. Not every hadith need
that critical explanations
by the scholars. And Grant is good. I
heard one of them saying,
who
fucked you? Whoever changes his religion,
killed him. Somebody says no. This one need
interpretation.
Another person was refuting him, saying what interpretation
this had. This is very clear. That's true.
Very clear. Ask any Arab person. Do you
understand what Rasulullah
said? He would tell you yes.
And so if there is nothing coming to,
you know, see, otherwise,
we have to go with that literal meaning.
You get it? I'm not saying everyone should
make himself a scholar, but it's not true
to say that everything there has to be
an explanation for everything.
Yeah. This
is a. You get it? You know? But
there are many, many, many, many. That's that's
why we have schools and where we have
student student knowledge that we have we have
that's why we have scholars
because they go and study and learn.
And others, they do not reach that level.
And they understand,
you know, by by by the
by the the what do you call the
the father of Allah.
Allah, they understand what other people might not
be able to understand.
Question from
I think a brother.
I want to seek knowledge full time in
Medina, but how will I provide for my
family? I have a worry that it will
become difficult for me to to find jobs
later on in life. How do I get
rid of this worry?
We all study Madinah Alhamdulillah,
and we have thousands of people who graduated
Madinah Alhamdulillah
and they live.
Yes. For how long
I graduated from Madinah 20,
2,000, 2,000.
That's,
23 or 24
years. Yeah. 22, 23, 22 years.
We live,
and comfortable life,
With all the distraction and the statement we
have been hearing that, you know, if you
said Islamic studies, you survive,
but, we live.
And we have so many.
We have scholars who are not dependent on
they graduated our seniors as I'm talking about
some of the the people that I know
them. Personally, I know them. They graduated from
Islamic University of Medina,
and they came back home.
They engage in business.
They don't beg anyone. They don't praise anyone.
They don't join the politics. They're not with
anyone. They just teach people day and night.
They enjoy reading.
Great scholars, if you sit with them, you
know that, yes, you deal with great scholars.
They spend their life from,
the the, bachelor's, you know, master's
and PhD, and they finish.
And now even their journey is gonna be
they travel. They go with the business.
You know?
And they go for Hajj and Umrah, and
somebody was telling me that whenever they go,
they go with students.
Most likely, they're paying for those students, so
to accompany them.
I didn't get.
Allah never placed the risk,
you know, to only be restricted to the
study you're having. And, actually, to be honest
with you, my dear brother, especially the questioner,
you know, if you look at this life,
you know that risk is not
based on this certificate that you're going to
be receiving when you graduate from the university.
You wanna be rich? You have to keep
it aside, also move forward in the business.
Almost all the people who are rich on
earth, those people that you can point with
Johan and say, yeah, these are rich people.
You know, those people that do not recognize
them as rich people. Tell me which one
among them that is rich,
you know, by just sitting down in the
office, receiving that little amount of salary that
is not, in most instances, sufficiently enough to
cater for his daily needs.
Which one is doing that? Go and ask
the people who are working, and they can
tell you. Know, it's only a few who
are getting, you know, something. But most likely,
you will never be that rich
just because of that certificate you get. I'm
not belittling the knowledge, but it's great for
a person to educate himself in doing education.
But to restrict knowledge to it, I'm telling
you, this is a failure in life. And
that's the reason why I think people got
stranded. How many people how many times you
hear people crying out that there is no
job. There's no job. There is no job.
You know? Government is not they're giving us
job. You know? They became jobless. Why? Because
they're lazy. Trust me. The amount of the
the the resources
the opportunities that are lost, but have put
around us
is more than enough for us to make
a move. If you want to become rich,
you don't go to the offices and sit
down. You do business.
And at last, they put so many opportunities
on it.
So there is no connection
between risk
and that which was studied.
It's a 2 different things.
We never heard of a place where the
prophet
said, risk is restricted to the knowledgeable people,
whether they do their knowledge
or others.
Most of the people who get into trouble
in some countries,
you know,
when they reach old age, they are the
people who used to work in the offices.
The government has not given them the duty
or the pension. You know, they became stranded
because they don't have any other business other
than this job, and they are forced to
retire. And now they they get into trouble.
Or when they die, their family get into
trouble because they have nothing else other than
this.
So I will advise you. If you have
interest, go and study, but open your eyes
to the business.
And, also, when you come back, there are
some other other opportunities. Who says you have
to be
somebody who works in the in the in
the company? You know? Who says you have
to be somebody who does this and that?
We have a lot of other opportunities that
a person can do with the certificate he
he get. We teach. You can join that
community if you have passion to that, and
it's more than enough for you also to
live.
There are many people who are doing this,
and there are thousands of them who refuse
to go for this. They go for business.
They just teach, people on their own.
Your last point to grant is good, but
I really advise you not to think in
this in this way. Open your eyes. And
even if you choose not to go to
Medina, you choose to go to,
any university that teaches the Dunia knowledge, no
problem. Have good intention. That one also has
no issue. But do not, you know, attach
your risk to that one.
Hang your heart
with the the father of Allah and
go and invest and do
business. The little you have, invest it.
In
it. And if you fail in this one,
use another way. You know? So many opportunities
are lost more than us surrounded us with,
but, unfortunately, we are not seeing this because
we are training the school to believe that
you need to get good result and good
certificate so that you can have good job.
Yes. It's good to get good certificate and
good result, but you should not attach and
connect your risk to this to this one.
So go and study. It's your virtue.
The favor is a blessing from Allah
for you to study in those, places and
to master the sharia of Allah
There is nobody who is like you on
earth if you learn as long as they
don't, and you fear Allah
even if they fear Allah's. But if you
feel Allah
is based on knowledge
of Allah's,
you are a 100% better,
than them in this regard. So don't you
ever be distracted with this,
show information
that we hear them from time,
to time. We have a lot of evidences
to show to the people that
restricting yourself to this thinking is the thing
that is going to cause you to fail
in the future in life. Open your eyes
and do business and engage in trading, which
student of knowledge can do.
Ignorance can do everyone.
Most of these things that you learn in
the schools, trust me. They're they're given to
you by last month. They're free of charge.
Many of them, you don't need to study.
It's part of us.
That's why you find people in the village.
They became so rich,
and those,
people, PhD and professors,
they're still struggling to live.
Don't that tell us something?
For me, it tells me a lot.
It tells me a lot
that opportunities
have been given to us. But our thinking,
you know, distract us from
seeing these opportunities.
You know, in the university. How many people
graduate from the university? When they go out,
they just go and engage in business, and
they don't want to go.
You have a lot. So please send the
question. I really appreciate this question, but I
advise you to
open your mind and think
in the correct way.
And all of us, not only him
or her, but I'm talking to all of
us. Open your brain.
Look things in the way they are. Allah
grant us a lot a lot more than
what we need.
But, unfortunately,
laziness
is the thing that is putting
us down. You know, I give you one
example, and then I close this way.
Most of the places where I go, where
you see the citizen in a place, they
hate the internationals when they come.
You know why they hate it?
One of the
main reason why they're hated in the place
in those places, it is because they are
more proactive
in engaging in and grabbing the opportunity that
last month have put in their face.
I hear from,
any places.
People are, talking against,
you know, the,
people who are not part of the citizen
place, and you try to understand why.
Is it because they are bad?
No. Not because they are bad. Yes. They
are. Some who are really bad. The focus
should be on those ones.
Now this one, they told me is,
the hassle is there. It cannot improve. It
cannot buy something good. Otherwise, people will start
talking, how come he came to this place
and driving the the things?
Trust me, my dear brother. This is this
is how it is. We, the citizen, in
a place, will always become lazy because we
believe our government is providing us with everything.
And you remain like this for ages,
never become rich. And you see somebody who
is coming from outside,
grabbing the opportunities that lost, put in the
place which nobody is using, and then he
became the richest.
And I went to a country, Suhannal, the
richest person in that country is not the,
part of the country members.
He's the richest person in that country.
And people talk as usual. People talk against
why he's coming from outside, and then he
is
becoming like this and that.
Why not?
Because he did and we did not do.
He looked into those opportunities, but we agreed
to just be in the offices.
That's why he goes and say, oh, I
lost my to put a lot in this
space. You know? And nobody's doing. And then
he start doing. And then people start becoming
jealous.
So this is an example. I just want
to give this, the person who is asking
this question,
that opportunities are there in every place. Only
thing is just wake up and grab them.
And, you will understand in the future what
and I know there are thousands of people
who take this advice from our scholars, and
they became
so rich. And they are scholars.
They are student of knowledge, teaching the
and also on top of all,
it helps them to be independent in their
fatwas.
You get it? If,
Adam is paying
me, paying my salaries and paying everything,
You know, my fatwa, most likely, if I'm
not careful, is going to be influenced by
his decisions
and what he wants.
But those people, they are not related to
anyone.
They speak in the way they believe Allah's,
of course, with wisdom, not provoking anyone, but
they say the truth. Because you do have
some people who are the what about,
those people who want to have crowd.
I wanna see my class
10,000,
5000. We have heard about people who don't
even give a lecture if they don't have
5,000 coming to them.
We heard about this.
Yeah. Why is this? And we have some
people, they don't come and give lecture unless
if you pay them a lot.
If you don't, they will not.
You have to provide them this. You have
to provide them that, then they will come
and give.
We have other alternatives.
Either lie to Allah, you go and see
those ones.
You get it? So I guess this,
message
is more than enough for all of us
to understand things, correctly.
Yeah? There is risk. There is education. Both
of them are important, and you should look
for the risk through the right channels.
Don't restrict yourself.
Something which a last monitor did not restrict
your risk, to it. You will get into
trouble in the future. Yes, Adam.
Yahia Sharav asks, what is our duty to
our brothers and sisters in Palestine?
To make dua for them, to support them
financially.
Always remember them in your dua.
Not when you see what is happening to
them, to remember them.
And to ask Allah
to aid them than whatever you can support
them financially to do.
That's what we can do, because we are
not located in Palestine.
It doesn't make sense to come and destroy
your properties in the place where you I
mean, you are located.
So
you make dua for them. You ask Allah
to have them against the enemy
and to show the time when this enemy
will be mediated on earth. Inshallah,
they will see this.
And, to ask Allah to liberate,
to release them from any difficulty they are
facing in their life. And this one, as
I said, you shouldn't just,
what do you call, do it when you
see them. No. You should do it all
the time.
Uzair
asks
regarding the 2 rakah before Fajr, we have
different narrations about what the prophet used
to recite in the second rakah from
Al Imran.
Sometimes you do this. Sometimes you do that.
This is the best approach of the scholars
when you have the
When you whenever you have narrations, you know,
this one I say and this and this
one I say that. The best is to
do this sometimes and to do that sometimes.
Because this is the best way to do
it.
The
Combining 2 things and making use of them
as long as both are authentically attributed to
the prophet,
it's always better than
favoring one of them.
If there is a way to do all
of them, it's better sometimes to do this,
but sometimes to do to do that. And
LaGrange is good. Yeah.
Not to combine them altogether at once. You
know?
In, one moment, you do this. You do
that. You do this. You do no.
The scholar said the best and the wisdom
is to do this now, and next time
to do the other one. Next time to
do that. You know?
One more question from.
Would it be possible to ask for the
explanation of this hadith?
Oh, need to find the.
As if sheikh, the text is small.
So
that would be the first question
to
be answered
when
Adam, read,
the Hadith correctly.
Next class, I will
give the full interpretation of this,
Hadith of the prophet
So the next time, you have you have
to enlarge the text and Yeah. I I
will find the Hadith on Durar and
read it properly.
No problem.
Do you still have time?
Yeah. If that is short question, yes.
Okay.
I read about
Abu Taher
al Janabi,
and I'm confused as to what his dean
is. Is he a shira? Is he a
is he a is he
a fireworship, or what is he?
I don't know why. Who is asking this?
Me.
Oh, you.
Okay.
What did you read about him? I don't
know him.
Mhmm.
But you can go to the same source
and get us something about about him. I
don't know, so I cannot talk about about
him.
Okay.
I forgot
a critical point in Balugo Haram
is the when we de when we deem
a food haram to eat because it is
disgusting,
this is because of the fitra of the
salaf and the statement of the scholars. Correct?
When we?
If we determine a food is haram because
it is disgusting,
this is
irrelevant
regarding the local culture. It is only for
the fitra of the Salaf and the statement
of the scholars for what is disgusting and
what is not.
You mean determining what is disgusting or what
and what is not? Yes. Because I remember
we narrated a story about the tribe who
ate everything except the dung beetle.
No. We are not saying that that that
tribe is doing the right thing
because this is part of the fitra.
I guess wherever you go, with the exception
of those people, wherever you go,
mostly, most of the people on earth, they
found worms
disgusting.
True?
Yes.
Yeah. The vast majority. Most of the people
on earth, they found cockroach
is disgusting.
You get it? So that's why we go
with the fitra of the vast majority of
the people. There might be some people who
go against this. They eat everything as,
even though it was mentioned about that tribe
who eats everything.
So we don't say, what is discussed and
what is not is determined by the.
No. We don't say this.
We see it determined by the fitra of
the people, the vast majority of the people,
what people consider disgusting and what is what
is not.
You get it, Adam. Yeah. That's why the
Chaba'is,
the insects, has called us rejected for them
because they call them Chaba'is,
Except what
is exempted by the sunnah of the prophet.
It's sunnah like the grasshoppers
or, another the locust. You know, that type
of grasshopper, which the
make it permissible for us to eat.
Other than that, whatever is discussed in this
call list, I mentioned
that these are prohibited based on the that
says,
You get it, Adam? So not to say
that we focus on what the considered as
disgusting.
No.
There are things which they might individually take
it as disgusting, but it is not.
You know, to us, the prophet
did not eat a bulb.
He says he found it uneasy.
He doesn't look,
you know,
good to him.
But that was him. That's why he did
not make it impermissible. He let them eat
it. So we understand that it is okay
for people to eat.
It's like in the vast majority of the
people they ate.
The prophet
did not work on his own,
fitra nature. He just let people go with
it as long as they can eat it,
and they eat it.
You get it? So,
we look into the
of the people, and nowadays, not
before.
Yeah?
Unless if there is something which is rejected
by
the sign of a salary, they look at
it as disgusting, then we confirm that this
is disgusting. But they didn't they didn't discover
everything.
Not everything was found in their own territories.
So we're gonna find new things. If we
say you have to get it from the
center of a center whether they took it
or not, then
how do I judge these ones?
It's actually.
Yes. The last brand is a good and
toffee.
Sheikh, do you have time for one more
short question?
Yes.
There's
a hadith.
So what is the difference between
and,
and,
most likely, one of them is a banner,
and the other one is the flag.
But I'm not sure. Give me this assignment,
Adam,
next week, Eid al Adha to see if
I can find any difference
mentioned by the scholars
other than that which I have been,
I have mentioned to you. Yes. That's famous
hadith
So give me this, Inshallah.
Assignment be in the next class. I will
get it for you.
In back
to
you.
That is the last one? That's it.
Okay.
Thank you very much, everyone. May Allah grant
you good and to free. I can be
with you wherever you are.
