00:00:58 --> 00:01:19
			While aka disorder of nafi helper annalena sim including the method we Allah have put forth for
humankind in this for an example or any type of example or can insano x Russia in gender but
humankind they are by nature argumentative This is a very key point here
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			that human Can't they are by nature argumentative you see this one thing if we call each other
argumentative
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			but when Allah would designed us and created as causes argumentative
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:45
			is no disputing that that means it's built into our nature that we by nature want to resist that
which comes to us of information. So just keep that in mind.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:02:28
			All I say is why men * what two things man can uh you know, from believing in the gentleman who
the when guidance comes to them? Where instead of you, Robin, for them to submit Of course, and then
seek forgiveness of the Lord for the wrongdoings. In other words, as we see right at the beginning
of the court. And then we added committed some something that he wasn't supposed to. It gets sent
down to earth he submits it turns the Atlantic it makes Toba and then all this is what we sent him
down guidance. So when ever guidance comes to you from me, who say no follows the guidance, they
will have no fear they will not leave. So that's the way you can suppose to respond. Allah taught us
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:39
			that through the the script of the of the Adam a belief story, right? That's the script that should
be supposed to follow. That's the play that we take our cue from.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:03:27
			But the nature of humankind is that the argument? So you're going to find as we do, that people
resist guidance coming to them. So what is guidance guidance is do this, don't do that believe this,
don't believe that? Follow this. Don't follow that. It's instructions. But it's instructions have a
holistic nature. It's not just like a one click instruction. It's how to live life. So when guidance
comes to people, what prevents them from from believing the western feeling, you know, admitting the
wrongs? So why do you still fall because when guidance comes in, generally, you're going to find
that sometimes you comply with the guidance. But other times, you're not compliant. So the guidance
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:57
			is a but you're doing B with the guidance is B but you're loving a. So what isn't what is necessary
at that time? what's necessary at that time, because it's guidance and it's divine that comes from
Allah is to simply submit to it. Samana wattana. That's what we supposed to do. That's what we learn
from the Quran. So to learn from Adam, and they said that wassalam as opposed to beliefs, what do we
tend to do, though? Not all of us, and those of us who do not all of the time,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:08
			we will sit for example, in a football in a class, right? And you will yearn I will your Heidi
familia hokum, a legal ruling of Islam.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:15
			And if our lives is in accordance to it, they will not let me smile. He said Marshall, we could
talk.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:27
			But if it's not in accordance to how we live, or what we were currently implementing in our lives,
then what do we do? our nafs comes up we resist
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:48
			and then we start saying things like the she's just wants to talk about these negative things. I
want to talk more about this my gonna talk more about that. Or I've heard some very funny versions
of this, the Merlin as well as kurama, the Niva booth, this is what the problem is, right? Because
now they don't like what is being said.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			But if you like to go with the flow type of guy
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			that said the Imam is moving with one of the people likes, then creates problem because now
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:11
			People find comfort in the person and in what the person is saying they find the version of Islam
within him. And this is exactly what Allah Allah wants us to avoid.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			He wants the guidance to come to us and then who is
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			not living according to that I need to change that would be supposed to do.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:48
			ILA and Tatiana some little awani. But Allah says no. The example of those before had already been
growth. This is not a new thing, allow us to demonstrate to us here that it's built into our nature,
that when guidance comes out enough to resist, it's not only it's not only something that that
happened to individuals in the past that happened to entire nations in the past.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:34
			Look at the story of an episode. And I said that was the moment he starts preaching to these people.
But revelation came from Allah. You know, these people say to him, what's wrong with you? You know,
you used to be more Jewish, we used to have a lot of hope for you, you becoming a professor or a
doctor or lawyer or an accountant. He was smart, young man, are you talking all this stuff? No, this
is not our people that will be whatever you see these weapons up until this day wells. So Allah is
teaching us essentially how to take knowledge, how to take guidance, and how to behave in relation
to it. And then Allah says, Oh, yeah, to whom will addabbo Coppola, oh, inevitably punishment can to
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38
			those people have before and it came to them right before the video nice.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:08
			woman who received more Selena in the MOBA, sharina, woman v. And we have not sent the messengers
except as, give us some glad tidings. And as a bonus, these are the ultimate two descriptions of the
messages. bashira when a hero, right, you hear this every Friday in Arabic In English, but the
messengers had a row, they were by shield, and they when they leave, because when we say names is a
rose, by sheer means they gave glad tidings,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:35
			machine and Moon The reason they gave warnings, okay, so let's think about this for a second. What
did messengers come to do? They came to go people towards the truth, the truth in belief, and the
truth in how they live their lives. So, we're in that is the is the glad tidings and the warnings.
To whom is glad tidings given and to whom are the warnings given? What do you see
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			basically is,
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:45
			basically is that that's a basic summary of show and analyze the bit further, you could perhaps say,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:57
			those who believe, right, and they live according to the teachings of the messages for them, what
the messengers are giving is actually glad tidings.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:22
			That is the feeling when you sit there and the mom say something that you like, he's like, I'm doing
a good job. And then the monthly input is actually when that which they say is not in accordance to
the practice of the people or the belief of the people. Now, it's actually it serves as a warning
for those people. Now, based on that, how do we treat warnings?
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28
			If we were driving along the road, and you know, this is a clearly marked
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			work with traffic officers saying, don't go down this road, this danger down the
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:58
			road, you know, you're just being negative, I'm just gonna go, none of us will do that because we
believe that person is warning us. So Allah wants us to approach the warnings in that way. It's not
warnings to make us feel down to make us feel depressed. It's warning so that we can, you know,
steer clear of the danger. That's why we suppose to adhere to all of the guidance.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:44
			The role of the messengers is also described as follows. When you Jabulani in a cafe will be melted,
they will also make mujaddid the word Jasmine is the is the rutilated janela, which literally means
to argue, to argue and debate. Obviously, this is not like a full Chris argument or full Chris
debate. This was to reason to use reason and to use the intellect so that the disbelievers would
understand that they are actually believing in Mountain View they do be Hill Hawk and the purpose of
the entire adventure of debate was in order to to support the truth and to refute the false
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:58
			what a Yeti why Mountain View whose work but as a loved ones as people take my verses and my
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Which I won't with Hulu, as a joke, as a joke.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			Now, this is no when you need an idea like this,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			then it's like, deep down you thinking we do that.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:25
			But if you should really listen to conversations around you, and be consciously aware of the danger
of taking a loss.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:35
			And always Dean as a joke, you'll be amazed, you'll be terrified at how often people actually do
this.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			Later, let's, let's just be frank about it, people make fun of aspects of the deal.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:49
			They make fun of various aspects of the deal. So I'm going to try to make it simple without getting
into all the rhetoric.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			Let's make it as simple as possible.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			If it is part of the deal,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:13
			or be a difference of opinion, or be the difference of approaches to the element in discussion, etc.
If it is part of the deal, or you doubt whether it's part of the dean or not, for the very least,
remain silent. You're safer that way.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:24
			But if you know that some ridiculous thing, that's definitely not part of the deal, then you still
won't be harmed by remaining silent.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:49
			There's no point they you simply just bring forth the truth. Right. So people will make fun of
things like the beard or the niqab or the fold, or the miswak. Because this seems like silly
pseudonyms for some people. And we don't want to discuss the details of these individual acts.
Because there are details to discuss.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:28
			Rather understand that these things form some part of the deen in some way. It doesn't matter where
you regard them in your own life, or how you see them as important as not important as extra as you
know, cultural things. The fact of the method is it is officially some part of the deal, regardless
of how important and because it has that status, we should avoid making fun of these things
altogether, or marking or tasting or anything of that nature. Don't make jokes regarding Dean, why
am I saying this? Because it's it comes as warnings in the Quran very often. Allah warns about this.
And we'll see this in a moment
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:36
			when you get scholarly debate, right, so somebody tries to use,
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			Hadith and so forth to put forward a point.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:03
			Now, that's my scholarship is there. So if we put forward the point, but the point is bounded, the
point is completely invalid. Other scholars will deal with it. Other scholars will come forth and
provide counter arguments and evidences and analyze and point out the weaknesses in the argument and
then show that this thing is ridiculous. Right? So we don't have to make it our own duty to do such
things.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:20
			But we as as you know, people we're not, we're not scholars that that label should for the very
least just rather stay out of it, because there's no benefit in that discussion for all this. Okay,
that puts a question in our mind. Now I'm going to find out what the truth is. Right.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:38
			I remember reading an article once about the niqab for example. Now, the niqab is, is something that
is differences of opinion about as far as its status is concerned, they are with a man who regarded
it as compulsory. They all went around when he got in it as soon.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:14:23
			And this particular article was written by a non scholars written by a journalist. And in this
article, this person is trying to argue that it's never been a part of Islam whatsoever. It's
something that originated with the priests anomic era from the Persians and so forth using these
three and so on. But none of the arguments carried any weight as far as the Sharia is concerned. So
all it came down to is this, this person has a predisposition and feels very uncomfortable with the
nickel fine. Many people do no problem. So simply just go with the argument with the view that you
don't believe it's gonna leave it alone. No, I need to write an article about it now and say that
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:59
			it's not part of Islam whatsoever. 1500 years of scholars before you say differently, you're now in
the year 2019. Everybody must believe you know, so this is just some of the elements. I'm not
propagating the niqab. I'm not trying to defend the to promote it to say everybody must wait. That's
not the point. The point is how people deal with various aspects of Deen. Again, these are the pity
things that I'm saying the word PT the really, these are the PT things that people debate about,
which is that, you know, they have the points. Sometimes it becomes silly
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:11
			The country here Attila Baron * Hodge said connected to the Hydra because of the word lebaron.
* things like that is a it's never beneficial to entertain these type of discussions.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:38
			Roman albula will memento Kira big Ravi for Allah wa nasima panda Matilda, very stern warning and it
goes even deeper. Allah says, One men of the level, who can be a greater wrongdoer who can be a
greater depressor from the word volume, which means darkness, oppression and wrongdoing, then the
one who is reminded of the end of his load
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			for our buttons away from it
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			meaning in a disdainful way.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:53
			Why messy America domata forgetting what their hands it's in fourth meaning of the deed so
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:02
			this also happens unfortunately. So there's a situation it's a Family Feud, right? father died
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:10
			brothers and sisters and are fighting because father's war wasn't according to the Sharia. He never
said
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:43
			the the daughter or the son whatever the case may be, they must get the bulk shape because everybody
else is like married and sorted with the homes and things like that. So now there's a feud. They
argue so the one son he sending in a cross on daily heard about Islamic inheritance and he learned a
few things. So he brings forth rupee I know that there's a verse in the Quran well actually speaks
about inheritance and he says there wasn't a second was not a feud. Everybody's angry. Everybody's
upset, emotional. So whatever they say.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:17:30
			And nevermind what the Sharia says do what is right, some 4 million people speak like that. Now, who
are you actually walking in? Who are you discarding you because Allah is saying there is no one
worse than the person who is reminded of the item is robbed and turns away from it. So that's an
illegal level. It's an illegal level we can look at the broad approach, the AI are not only verses
in the Quran is also things in the in the natural phenomenon, who can be worse than the person who
sees a miracle of nature that is inexplicable in terms of any other scientific theory or any type of
of science that we know of,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:45
			but turns away from it and refuses to believe in on what is that level also. So as you can see, the
Quran is nuanced meanings, but it's important for us to acknowledge all of them all the layers of
meaning of the Quran tonight
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			in that genre and Appleby macchina
		
00:17:54 --> 00:18:04
			goes even deeper lessons. We have learned have placed Akina veils over the arts, AF CO, so that they
do not understand it
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:46
			or fee added in walk on and we've placed a seal in the ears. We're in tether oatmeal alhuda and if
you were to call them to guidance falaya to do even better, they would never away ever thereafter.
Don't get confused here and thinking that the sound so fatalistic like you know, some people are
designed to never be guided. This is based on their own decision. Because the initial reaction when
guidance came to them was that they turned away from it. They were told there isn't a law they turn
away from it, they will unless is this they turned away from refuse to believe. Allah says at that
moment, something happens, their hearts become failed, they become unable to hear. So they actually
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:58
			Doom themselves. A lot protect us from this. And they have so this is of course, the hardness of the
arts we've always been hearing since childhood.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:06
			First number 58. So is the no hope for people who made mistakes before
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			always balancing.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:14
			Always when Allah speaks about the wrongdoing, and he speaks about them as to do good or foo.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:20:00
			But your load is the forgiving one. The rush man is the possessor of mercy, he chose this quality
for himself. Low you ask him to whom be Makassar boo, if he Allah, what do you take people to task
based on what they deserve? Like Jelena who will either then punishment would have been haste and
for people meaning the moment somebody does something wrong, just think about it in our own lives,
all the sins you've committed right? The moment you committed sin Allah digit toss, couldn't follow
entity could have done that. But he doesn't, even for the disbelievers been more equal. Rather, they
have an appointed time. Lady do mean dooney mo Ella and they will never ever find anyone or any
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			Escape from that appointment that Allah has given to them.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:46
			So why does injustice happen in the world? Why does wrongdoing continue to take place in the world?
If there's a God Why does he allow people to become punished and people to be oppressed and sickness
and poverty and war to take place? Other than the discussion we had about this world is not the
world of justice. It is also an indication of ours urashima so everybody, even the greatest of
wrongdoings, they get a chance for as long as they agile allows to turn their lives around and to
turn to Allah for forgiveness. Wait till can Pura those are the towns those are the cities those are
the generations now when we destroy them lamma Vallejo when they did wrong was analemma Nikki Merida
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:50
			and we have made for the destruction and appointed time.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:56
			Now, we move on to the next section, which is the next story.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			What have we covered so far?
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			Get us into context.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:57
			section one was an introduction told us that life is a test in the Quran is your safeguard to the
warning to the Christians. And of course, we saw an extrapolated how it will benefit us against that
job. Section two was about the sleepers in the cave as how Volkov ran away from fitna and surround
themselves with good company and the importance of youth and the importance of righteous friends in
this life. And also the importance of removing yourself from the wrongdoing. Section three was the
first hook back here it was about speaking and debating without knowledge. So now look, this is now
again what we spoke about a moment ago and the free will to choose the truth. Then we spoke about
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:33
			the man with the two gardens in Section four, how wealth can corrupt the importance of saying Masha
Allah and how to treat wealth, as far as one's outlook is concerned, when you are possessing wealth,
or when you are looking upon others who possess wealth, section five, the second hood bear which is
what we just dealt with the temporality of this life and the condition of tiama being laid by the
Qur'an was being misled by shaytaan, a police and the consequences in this life and in the year
after. Now, in that, we also learned about guidance, guidance coming to you and how we should
respond to the guidance.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:39
			That was actually a prelude to the next movie.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:46
			Because this movie that we're about to watch now, that's how it plays out. Like a proper movie.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:53
			This, this entire scene has one lesson.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			One lesson.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:08
			So without even going in May, because I've mentioned the lesson right at the beginning in the first
half. Who can we be more than one lesson is the objective of the story of Musa and faded?
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			a
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:16
			sovereign somebody is a part of the lesson is what's the ultimate lesson?
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			We're getting closer about loving everything. Yes.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			Just accept some things for what they are.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			taqwa.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:53
			As all elements within the ultimate limit is one ultimate lesson in this story. And we say this is
why this form is part of Soraka because it's going to God as against something that that gel brings.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:02
			Not to try to face it rather face as hobbled calf natural Sleepers of the cave. Come on one more
try.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			Knowledge is knowledge is the one.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:13
			One What about knowledge, knowledge is from above.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:19
			And while a lot of knowledge is power, there is a way in which knowledge should also be treated.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:35
			The first story story of the cave, we learned about Fiddler and how to deal with times of fitna
surround yourself in good company turns all this behind without a worship don't give into what the
masses are doing, you know those nations.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:52
			In the in the business of the two gardens, we learn what to do in the feeding of wealth comes to
have a lot of wealth. So let's go through it. Here To sum it all up. Now we're dealing with the
story of nappy, moose and headed us have a lot of knowledge, how to deal with it.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			Don't let it go to your head.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			So the ultimate lesson is how to deal with
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Knowledge and the answer on how to deal with knowledge is
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:05
			what?
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			humility. Humility
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:17
			is something so beautiful about knowledge to handle is that
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:26
			knowledge, the more you can pay off, it comes with a certain level of granularity.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:39
			It's like it just goes into that. more knowledge more plenty more knowledge millennia. But it is up
to the person who acquires the knowledge to diverse the grant from the knowledge
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			and imbibe the quality of humanity.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:48
			For the only one who deserves that grant is unlock
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:03
			through knowledge in others when it's attained with humanity, it's like a fruit bearing tree. The
more fruit you have on the branch, the lower the branch hangs.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:33
			The more furniture from the branch, the lower the branch hangs. So knowledge comes with a vertical
Kibriya is grandia. But Kibriya is only for a while that type of pride is only follow. This is the
danger of knowledge. And we need to be aware of this. And it's not only talking about any specific
science or any branch of knowledge. Often we like to think we need to cover knowledge in an Islamic
context. And we think about you know, Dini knowledge.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:41
			No, no way does Islam specify that knowledge and other knowledge isn't. Knowledge is knowledge as
long as it benefits.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			So when even knowledge you acquire,
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:12
			even in this dunya comes with titles that comes with power comes with increased salaries, etc, etc.
If we want to stand the test of knowledge and pause, we need to imbibe the quality of humanity.
Otherwise, that knowledge will lead to kibble arrogance. And then we fall into the trap of shaitaan,
which is part of the previous with Van shaytaan was the greatest album.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:45
			Then the evil was he knew. He knew the Malacca he thought the Malacca and he learned from the
melodica. But he fell into it into a major problem was that because of his knowledge or deficiency
in his knowledge? It is because he's knowledge came with kibble, and not with humility. And he could
see that the moment he saw Adam, there is Adam made of clay, and with the fire the human, he doesn't
deserve to get the sujood I've been here all this time, I should get the surgery.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:28:09
			And that's when his keyboard took over. So whatever field we may be in, however knowledgeable we may
think we all understand that that very knowledge could be the cause of our destruction and our
downfall if we don't impact the quality of humanity. Look who Allah subhanho wa Taala chooses to
teach and the story to us. As we move salicylate was
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			one of the greatest ambia
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:24
			type so that's the ultimately synopsis of the story of Moses and hidden let's just briefly look at
an introduction to Nabi Musa Abu Saleh salat wa salam is the most mentioned personality in the
Quran.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:29:05
			Interesting, isn't it? I saw a little clip that goes viral every now and they have this Indian man
who speaks about how he used to be a Muslim. And then he had some questions and then attracted him
to to Christianity. Now for for personal, sort of, is not familiar with with the Quran and so forth.
It might be somewhat convincing, because he says things like, you know, that he says name is
mentioned in the corner and he's like, 25 times but but my son's name is what you mentioned, like
five times, it's, you know, so now for the person who never knew that.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:28
			I didn't know that. So he's using one of these very superficial arguments to try and make a case
that the Quran is actually telling you to be Christian, right? But there's so many flaws in the in
the in the string of arguments that he makes, it's actually a bit ridiculous. So we had a counter.
Remember once we came in to counter that, and we shade it, don't ask me where it is now.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:34
			But now he moves his name is mentioned the most mentioned the most nocona
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:47
			and they are similar reasons for this. I believe one of the most obvious reasons to me at least, is
that NaVi Moosa is the greatest NaVi of the greatest as Alma
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:59
			they are all old, the Bernice Roy. Remember from the line of Abraham went to San Diego ish Mary is
Mary Larissa and of his heart
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:10
			After all of them we are killed from the bees half the entire lineage of ambia. And they were all
bunnies. The greatest among them was the musasa
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:17
			off the way we have today, you had from the lineage of Nevis, might that be Mohammed cellulitis?
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:24
			So if our mind is going to take lessons from anyone, shouldn't it be the greatest enemy
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:57
			of the provinces? And if our own minds get to take lessons from any nation, shouldn't it be the
greatest nation after the Nation of Muhammad Allah? So Allah gives us a handle if you read the
Quran, like I remember being a student and the first thing we did the first textbook that we had, so
to speak is the Quran. Surah Fatiha when you do Soraka after the first Jews, they needed the second
Jews and I'm thinking we actually asked these questions are with the Muslims in this
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:24
			because it's just funny Israel bunnies. raheel bunnies, Rahim. The almost the entire first to
dissolve Boko Haram is about the money sorry. And when I teach explained it beautifully said they
were so long in the dunya. And they made so many different mistakes that we can learn from all of
them. And this is what Allah demonstrates to us. First teaches us what not to do. It gives us
guidance as to what we should do.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:42
			This is the only prophet almost 100 Allah who directly spoke to Allah is called can the moolah, the
one who spoke to Allah he had the biggest woman had by the prophet systems who was going to outweigh
him in the dev karma and the most complete cherry at that point.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:59
			The Prophet of Allah so Linus sort of said once now we must preach to the people till the eyes shed
tears in their hearts became tender we upon the finished the sermon in a man came to Moses and asked
all of us apostle, is there anyone on earth who is more learned than you?
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			Now, think about this for a second.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:28
			It's like somebody coming into the masjid now and asking me Is there anyone here who knows about the
Islamic sciences? Or knows more about the seven senses? And you couldn't be the easiest thing in the
world for me to say? No, no, I don't think so. Because I'm the teacher. Everybody knows the
students. Oh, no. So it's like an obvious thing is the nabee of the time. So he says, No, he spoke
to so spoke to so. So I'll admonish him
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:40
			because he did not ascribe the knowledge to a word. And it was said, Yes, that is in fact, the slave
of Allah knows more than you and a bit more so shocked.
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:47
			They must have said, Oh, my lord way easy. Allah said, at the junction of two C's.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			Now let's just get this one thing out of the way quickly. This is not kept up.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			I've literally heard
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			people say, Get down as mentioned in the
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:08
			first Firstly, Capetown is not the point at which the two oceans meet. Know that. It's capercaillies
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			to begin with, and secondly,
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:19
			it's talking about two big bodies of water. Bahar doesn't only mean ocean means a huge body of
water.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:25
			So it's definitely not I mean, Musa was not here, people.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:35
			The poco was here. And the bus got stuck apparently, which was hilarious I thought, but not now. We
move sorry, Sarah, Sarah.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40
			There's so much beauty in this story. Because at this point,
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:54
			if it was not gonna be about love is the responsibility knows more than me. We know ways that we
Moosa immediately responds and says, Wait, is he Why
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			is somebody more knowledgeable than I am?
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:24
			Then I need to go and learn from that person. So he immediately learns this quality of humility, and
even sets his path forward with color Moosa the fighter who remember when Moses 80s he's young
servant, he had a boy, you shall be known. That is what the the salon Ellie's have given
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:35
			that his name was a Leno's beast. Nonetheless, he had this young boy with him, was a to help him. He
says that we will never ever give up.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:54
			Mr. Bahari until we reach the point where the two C's meet the two bodies of water meet on the
hakuba or I will spend years and years and years traveling. So instantly levy Moosa alesana teaches
us a few things about knowledge. The first thing he taught us is
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			never just assume you know the most because all
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:22
			To him, the second thing he taught us is that he should have ascribed the knowledge to Allah will
love it if what am I talking like that it's because the Quran and the Sunnah is filled with it, you
should always Allah knows based, right? Even though this is my opinion, this is what I see to be
what is accurate, the end of the day, I'm still human, I could still make a mistake Allah knows
best.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:33
			Third thing he teaches us is that the moment is an opportunity to learn, seek it out, seek it out.
The fourth thing he teaches us
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			is that knowledge is something that is pursued.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40
			knowledge through knowledge you pursue knowledge
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			is something about knowledge.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			And the pursuit of
		
00:35:48 --> 00:36:28
			federalize key in the word pursuit, you actually have to go after knowledge, sacrifices have to be
paid, you have to move, you have to get out of your bed, out of your home in to go go to a
particular place, sit at the feet of a teacher, you have to go the and this has always been
consistent. I'm not by any, by any means. msms saying that, you know, you can't get any information
or any knowledge, you know, buy something and how you can we all know the way the world works today.
All I'm saying is that there's some, there's some divine element in the student going to the
teacher, and seeking the knowledge out from the teacher.
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:33
			I know one of my teachers was very against the idea of
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:49
			scholars or students of Dean being employed to come to the homes of people to teach the kids but
that's like a popular thing today, for various reasons. But really understand that when you put all
the effort in the new value, if
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:53
			you could get all the information that you're getting here tonight,
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:57
			on some YouTube video some way you could.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:11
			But you're not going to value it as much when you sit at home in your bed watching it on your new
cell phone screen. And it's not going to have as much of an effect. It just doesn't. And I mean, I'm
willing to take
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:35
			a disagreement on that one but I personally find that there's still an element of, of divine divine
intervention when you go and seek knowledge. So Robin Moosa also teaches us that not only should you
make some effort, you should make a lot of effort and really go to the ends of the earth to try and
seek for knowledge. By the way, the Hadith, the so called Hadith
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:59
			allemaal officine seek knowledge if any will be in China is not the Hadith prophets, so never say
that is no integration of that. It's a very popular thing, but it's not even the other one that is
multiple in Milan, Milan de la la de signally from the cradle to the grave is all sayings and that
might mean something nice but not authentically attributed to me Mohammed Sol Isilon.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:16
			They will stop on this one and they take any questions if they are, while at lunch, Lu functional,
you're in La Villa, Nina mahnomen, como La Nina. Raja, the virtues of knowledge of many, but for
tonight, just look at the sun of surah. Allah
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:29
			and we need to say to them spread out, they spread out a lower days, those who believe among you,
and those who have been given knowledge to Roger in rank, so you should always pursue knowledge.
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			Knowledge,
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:39
			as I said earlier, doesn't just mean going to be an Alamo halfin, etc.
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:45
			It's not, no, it doesn't say, seek, you know, Sharia knowledge.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:39:06
			Problem with other sciences is that we've, we've, in our minds, created the barrier between Islamic
sciences and the sciences. So the person studying to be for example, an engineer, doesn't see that
the correlation between these engineering studies and him being a Muslim, that's the problem.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:43
			So so when we when we did that dichotomy in our minds in our hearts, that's when we add to now give
extra attention to Islamic knowledge. That didn't happen in our past. Go and look at the at the
pioneers of the sciences, be it in maths be it in, scientists even seen an evolution in one of these
guys. They were preferred of the poor, and they were all a man on the right, and they will be
leading doctors and scientists, because they didn't see a dichotomy in the two. Today when a young
man young woman enters into university to study to be a
		
00:39:45 --> 00:40:00
			rocket scientist, for example, they're only seeing it as I'm being a rocket scientist. Not I'm an
acid to Islam. I'm doing this because all I see them as Ms. seek knowledge or misgiving exploring
the heavens and the earth and so on and so forth. They don't have that connection. And that's what
we need.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			To bring back in human life
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:10
			is the need for everyone to get the basis of Islamic knowledge? Absolutely. Undoubtedly.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:23
			We have, unfortunately not. We don't have a priority strength. The moment you send a child to a
given study, what are they going to study? Or to the parents in the childhood study?
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:32
			Not saying that's bad, it's good. It's very good. problem is we don't see beyond that. So what have
you done?
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:38
			You've created an essence for the mind, since it's America. Now Pacha in front,
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:59
			back for that person's own sake, then become a memorizer of a book that they don't understand. Think
of the repercussions of that could have. This is my own personal feeling, I feel that every person
who studies health, part of that study must be the understanding of what they memorize, the one is
incomplete without the other
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:32
			because of what we can clearly identify, right? That's just a normal person, then who memorize the
Book, as opposed to a normal person whose life was transformed by the understanding of a book,
right? That's the one thing and then secondly, every Muslim, every single Muslim man and woman
should never finish the life of studies until they got a foundational knowledge of how to live life
as a believer and what they believe.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:42:10
			Like aqidah, who is Allah? Who are the Gambia, what is Islam? What are the do's and what are the
don'ts? It must be some at some point between the time they start schooling and and before they
enter into university that we must be grounded in those things. This normally means one or two years
of full time studies and 95 that can be done in a different way that normally takes like three
years, full time, that's also praiseworthy. So what I'm actually saying is, all of that must be
included in every Muslims education.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:41
			Don't forget where we are now. Don't think, Oh, no, but we did this. And we did that. No, we're not
talking about now. We're talking about our vision for the next 10 years, the next 15 years, the next
20 years. It's not about creating an AMA. It's about creating adequate, competent and efficient
Muslims. So that person now goes and studies with if they do, they have the head screwed on right?
And they know where they stand. Allah subhanaw taala guide is always that one and in Hungary, the
European economy
