			He dedicated his life to the people.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			He
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			was at the time
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			of the king. His name was a
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:50
			smile, Assad, Assad smile. He was the king of Syria at that time.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			This father, his marine
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:05
			Subhanallah, the history repeats itself. This son has my he had a fight with his brother Najib, a
Dean
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			from he was the king of Egypt
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			or they call them a salad or you.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			So
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:29
			he gave the Crusaders he gave the Crusaders and helped the Crusaders fight his brother.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:43
			And not only that, he permitted he permitted the people to come into Syria into the machine and buy
weapons from the machine to fight his brother.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:06
			Who know about this Allah Subhan Allah Allah is an English needs honor. And he really a personal
cryptocaryon Rahim Allah said, sometimes the name of the person becomes the person or becomes the
opposite, for example, as he was realized, but Mubarak has nothing to do with Barack.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			So
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			this Celeste really applied to him. So you know about that.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:21
			People are selling weapons, to the Crusaders to go fight another Muslim.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:42
			So he stood in November, he was very well known to say the Huq no matter what happens, this is very
well known character about him. So he stood in the number and drummer and said officially, he gave a
fatwa. It is haram to sell the Crusaders.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			The weapons to fight in the Egyptians.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			When
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			the king knew about that,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			he was very, very upset.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:58
			He
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			stopped him from giving the hoppers and
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			he jailed him.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			He put him in jail.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			spamela, just like we said before history repeating itself.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			When he jailed them.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			Very few days, he released him right away. Why? Because of the love of the people
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:36
			because of the love of the people, not because he loved him or he worried he was worried that people
might have you know, make a revolution against him or something. So he released them.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:43
			But he told him that you're not allowed to give any, any corpus
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			and
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:57
			as a person as a speaker, kill me. And don't tell me don't give any purpose. Or don't speak. This is
what we're here for remind each other. So he could not take it.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			He carried himself and as he was leaving,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			he passed by battle mark this
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			by coincidence why he wasn't beaten like this.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:17
			This king of the machine was there too visiting some reason? So somebody came to him and told him
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:25
			is just come to the king. He's visiting here. kiss his hand.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			And everything will be forgotten Palace be done.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			I'm gonna get the answer in Arabic, and then I'll translate
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:50
			it into kabilio The Sultan for Baykal is for vehicle is been Abdus Salam o con. Yeah, miskeen wala
Hema Arada and yet till Melaka you can't believe it.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			For Atlanta and I can't believe you have come NFC you add one to view as an anchor
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:14
			Alhamdulillah Allah the if any member of Tala confy. So he said young skin when he came and told him
go kiss the hand of the king and everything will be done. Allah you are a Miskin person.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			I won't accept the king coming, kissing my hand.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:35
			I will not accept the King to come and kiss my hand. You will need to go kiss his hand. Allah He,
I'm in one valley and you're on another end. We are very far. May Allah subhana wa Taala save me
from what he has tested you.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:48
			When he said that, he even though it's not his any country or area of jurisdictions, he ordered him
to be jailed in a tent next to him.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			So they put him in a tent next to him.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:09
			And when he was making negotiations with the Crusaders, let his Rahim Allah he was reciting the
Quran. So these crusaders heard something amazing. He was very he had a very beautiful voice. So
they asked the non Muslims, they asked
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:17
			the Malik the king, who's that? What is this? Something very beautiful. He said, This is one of our
priests,
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:47
			one of our priests, and then he started telling them the Kings telling the Crusaders, what did this
man do? And how strong you know, he was in his opinions and how steadfast he was and how
knowledgeable he is. He's telling him and he also told them that he's punishing him. So what did the
Crusaders say? After just to hearing from what the king said about him? He said, Well, loi, Locanda
indena Let us sell nourish, they were shut up.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55
			If he was one of our priests, we will wash his feet and drink its water.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:08
			And the king was supposed to be any supposedly complaining about allies. So they told him
Subhanallah we would honor someone like this if we had him amongst us.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			So then he decided to move to
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			miss to Cairo.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			When he got there,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			the king himself welcomed him.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			He was the brother of
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			the king of
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:36
			Damascus. He welcomed him, and he assigned him as the chief judge.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:46
			He accepted an order not because he likes positions, but he wanted he loves to protect the people
from any from any oppression.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:52
			There was a very famous incident that happened
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:00
			when he moved to Egypt, and he was assigned by Assad, Allah you the king at that time.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:13
			He found out that all the metallic, all the rulers and all the kings under the king and the
princess, they are still metallic, they are still slaves.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:19
			So these are the elite of the of the country.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			He found out that they are still slaves.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:30
			So he made a fatwa that all their buying selling grueling is not accepted until they are freed.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:42
			Yeah, Miss Ma. What are you talking about? These are the kings, these are the biggest people in the
country. What are you talking about? No way they have to be sold.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:53
			They have to be sold first, then they could come back and do it allowed to rule or do anything. They
came and they wanted to kill him and this and that. He refused. The king
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			stood with the princess.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:19
			He because of his honor, carried himself but now as they are right now then on a on a donkey. He put
himself on his luggage and all that stuff with all his belongings, his family, and if my word is not
going to be followed, what kind of sheaf is this? What kind of judges this? I'm leaving
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:57
			SubhanAllah. They, the history said that there was nobody left in critera except he followed. They
followed him and apologized to LSPs come back. He said the only way I would come back is for these
men to be sold as slaves. He said okay, so they made an auction. That's why his second title is
there a limo look, if somebody tells you who is better and the person or this men children, they
follow them. You have to come back when the King found out the king himself when one another says
the king
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:10
			No, no, no. The one who sells kings King says might be his working for the King, the one who sells
kings Subhanallah that air and we'll look so he had an Archer
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			and he started selling the princess and who's buying
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:36
			the king? And every time you know he passed another prince he raised the price and where is all that
money going to bathe in man to support the Moroccan Subhanallah and he took all that money and he
put it in the beta and man of the of the government and to support all of the poor people so that's
why when he got the title bear and Alma look
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			and another incident
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:58
			one time and an aide let you be the king. You know need he comes in he shows all his bodyguards and
servants and luxury and golden horses. And
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:03
			he was in his caravan. And
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			he heard somebody the king heard somebody saying, Yeah, are you
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:20
			know me, you know, King? No, nothing. Yeah. Are you? Yeah, you what you are going to tell Allah.
When he asked you, how could you allow alcohol to be sold in your country?
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:27
			He said, alcohol is being sold here. He said, You don't know.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			And he started telling you exactly what it is sold.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:49
			He said, but this was on the days of my father. He said, You are saying exactly what Christ said.
This is what we found our father's doing. And subhanAllah after that, he ordered it ordered all
alcohol wine to be stopped from being sold in in the country.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:55
			The king
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			now is at war with the Crusaders.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			And
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:10
			the battle of course, any battle needs a lot of wealth, a lot of money to be supported.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:17
			So he gathered him and everybody else and asking them how can we get the money for the war.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			So he stood, and he said
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:34
			the only way to get money for this battle is for you people. All of you, kings and princes, sell all
your gold, give up your salaries
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:55
			and give it back as taxes. And then in sha Allah Tada, we should have enough if we don't have
enough, then we go with the opinion of the other Princess which that stacks the people. But in the
beginning, let's start with yourself. And Malik the king went with with his opinion.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			He was extremely,
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:26
			extremely generous. One time the best 18 The gardens and the big lands in the muck. They went real
estate went down big time. So his wife told him, here's all my jewelry, sell it and buy us it will
stand in the muck. We can go from Egypt and spend the summer in there. So he took the money
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			he took the gold, sold it and gave it all to the poor.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			So he came back home his wife
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:40
			was there was 10 Instead of Allah I bought your understanding and Jana
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			said where
		
00:18:43 --> 00:19:03
			I never heard of that town. I bought you ever stand in gentlemen. I gave all the money. I gave all
the money he studied Allah, that righteous wife she said, masha Allah Dara cannot feed me Allah
subhanho wa Taala except this is how, how generous he was why he was called Sultan, Allah.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:11
			And then came to him one time asking him for a fatwa.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			He gave him the fatwa. He gave him the ruling.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			After the man left,
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:28
			he noticed that the photo was wrong. It was exactly the opposite.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			So he went crazy.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			He asked his people, anybody see them? And he said no, he's just a passerby.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			So listen, Jaquan what he did.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			He assigned people
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			to go in Cairo.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:59
			Go around, loudly yelling and screaming. Oh man who asks for a fatwa. He wants to tell you the fat
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			What has changed? Make sure you come back to him? Allahu Akbar.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:10
			Can you imagine? Now somebody gives a fatwa. And he found out that he was wrong.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:14
			Allah
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			and Allah have a full right
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			these were people.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:36
			Like when the man told him how could you call him? Yeah, are you right in the middle of everybody,
he said Wallah. When I put the fear of Allah in front of me, I felt he was like a cat.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:44
			When I put the power of Allah and the might of Allah in my, in my heart, everything disappears. You
have one.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			Everything disappears. When you really, really
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:56
			like we're going to explain tomorrow after Fisher when we really mean he cannot wait he can Stein.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:20:59
			Now,
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			if you have 50 people,
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			you have 5550.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			Somebody asked a question to the shift.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			Four or five people around the share already answering before the share.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:24
			One time I will chef I'm gonna do Kathy, may Allah subhanaw taala preserve him.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			He was sitting down after the lecture.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:36
			And the person came, and he said, Yeah, chef, I want to ask you about this. And he asked a
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			guy named right next to the chef.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			Before the chef answers the answer
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			another person asked me the question
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			three, four people and the chef respectfully, just being quiet.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:57
			Waiting.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			Then another person asked a question, check the natural.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:10
			So she was waiting for him to answer he didn't answer.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:17
			He said according to Abu Hanifa This is the answer but Allah you do not know according to
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:40

mufti, everybody. When you have problem with your, if you have a leak at home, from the faucet, you
call a plumber.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			When you have a problem with electricity, you got an electrician.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:23:03
			When you go to the doctor for heart surgery, you got a heart surgeon. But when he went to fatwah
Subhanallah, the plumber, the electrician, the doctor, the engineer, the lawyers all of this leash,
why when it comes to the orders of Allah, the amount of Allah subhanaw taala, everybody is a
specialist.

said, Yeah, Imam I came from all the way from all these villages. And everybody gathered the
question, yeah, Imam Malik, sit down with me, please answer me.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:32
			He answered maybe 10 or 15% of the questions presented. And the rest are all agree. I do not know.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			Now you dare tell your brother
