			Akbar, what are Hola Hola, Quwata
illa Billahi la de la de.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
teach us from His knowledge, and
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			to lift us in levels and to accept
our worship. I mean, it'll be
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			Alameen Shala just a few words, in
a few minutes with Milazzo JAL.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			There's no doubt that the first
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			lesson that a human being
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			ever learned
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47
			was the lesson of how knowledge
honors a person.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:54
			And this is why in the first story
in the Quran, and actually the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			first story in the history of
humanity,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			the story of Adam Alayhis Salam,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			Allah subhanaw taala created Adam
Alayhis Salam, and then taught him
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:11
			knowledge. He gave him a knowledge
that the angels did not know after
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			which the angels were commanded to
prostrate for him.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			And this is why Allah subhanaw
taala says in the Quran, your
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			fellow Latina M annual income,
while Adina Otto el mundo Rajat
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			Allah lifts, those who believe and
those who attain knowledge and
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:34
			levels and there's not a dua in
the Quran, where Allah told the
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam to increase him in anything
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			except for knowledge. He said,
we'll call Rob busy Danny Elma
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			there is no Sydney anything except
for him in the Quran.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			But you know what Hadith baffled
me
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			the Hadith authentic hadith.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			So this these 10 is a Hadith of
how Allah lifts
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			the people of knowledge is one
thing.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:09
			But the Hadith that baffled me was
that hadith that said were the
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:15
			prophets I seldom said the first
to burn in the Hellfire
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			is going to be a scholar,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			somebody of great knowledge.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			So we learned that knowledge can
go all the way up.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			And knowledge can go all the way
down. It's a two way road.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			And subhanAllah when I
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			thought about it, and I thought
about the Syrah of the Prophet
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
how
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:49
			are there examples of these types
of scholars in the time of the
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam? Because sometimes when we
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:56
			think of scholar we think of after
Rasul Allah is send them, but the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			reality is from the Sierra of the
Prophet size, and we could find
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			examples of both types of
scholars. And that's what I'm
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			going to share with you today
Inshallah, in a famous story, the
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			story of what is often the story
of what occurred No, no fun when
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam he, first when when he
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			first experienced why from
Jibreel, Allah is Salam, he went
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			to Hadiya and Khadija called her
cousin waka waka came and he was
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			learned in Hebrew and he was
learned in the Torah and then the
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:34
			Injeel. So he studied the previous
scriptures. So when the Prophet
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
explained to what aka what he
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			experienced, he said, This is the
angel that came down to Musa
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			and you were chosen to be a
prophet. And the Prophet SAW Selim
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:53
			said me a prophet. He said, Yes.
And there's not a single person
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			that came with what you are coming
with, except that he was the enemy
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:03
			of his people. He said, will they
be my enemy as well? He said, Yes.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:09
			And they will kick you out of your
city. He said, our Mukherjee your
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			home, will they kick me out as
well? He said, Yes. So what
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			occurred new, the Syrah of Rasool
loss, I send them before Rasul
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			Allah sai Sena. Isn't that
interesting? And he's Rasul Allah.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			He knew the biography. He knew
what's going to happen to him
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			before he did Ali salatu salam.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:31
			So this is what he said. Yeah,
late and if he had other is, Raju
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:36
			is usually do Yeah, and I wish I
will be young or I wish I was
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			young when they kick you out. But
he was a very old man. As a matter
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			of fact what aka died three days
later. Okay. And then he died upon
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			Islam Al Hamdulillah. But the
Allahu Allah Allah Anwar Allah
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			another example, this is the
example of a righteous scholar,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:58
			someone who use their knowledge to
find the truth, his knowledge of
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			the previous scripture.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			guided him to knowing Rasool allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			That's one. Another example of
this is Abdullah adna Salam, who
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			was a Jew. In Medina when the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			sallam did Hijra to Medina,
Abdullah had been Salam was a
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:22
			scholar, the son of a scholar,
amongst the Jews of Medina. And as
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			soon as he heard about the Prophet
SAW Salem, he used his knowledge
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			of the scripture, and he went and
inspected the prophecies and he
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			asked the prophecies and he looked
at the characteristics of him, and
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			he found out that it is him. So he
embraced the snuff
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			And subhanAllah the Abdullah
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			was supposed to go back and give
Dawa to his people to the Jews of
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			Medina. But he said he also Allah
my people are Coleman booked.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			Booked is exactly what it sounds
like anatomy by the way, it's both
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			that's that's how the Jews were in
Medina meaning anytime like they
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			they're quick to flip and they
forget all of the past Yeah, and
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			they they they'll just bash on
somebody for no reason. And
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			Abdullah Abdullah said, I'm new
this so so so I sell them call the
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			tribal leaders of the Jews and he
told her not to hide in another
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			room and he invited the Jews over
and he told them look, what do you
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			have to say about Abdullah? Agnes
and he said oh, he's a scholar,
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			son of our scholar. It's very
learned very this very that They
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			complimented him he said what if I
told you Abdullah converted to
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			Islam? He said no way my of Allah.
How's he going to convert this
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			now?
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			They said, Abdullah come out.
Abdullah came out and he said
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			eyeshadow, Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:44
			So they said, they got up like
stuffing Allah. And they got up
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:49
			and they said, you know, you never
had knowledge to begin with. Even
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			your father. We used to doubt the
amount of knowledge you had. You
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			were never there. And they start
they were common book. Exactly.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			Well, Abdullah, they got up and
left and after loving and said,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			I'm told the premises of Seattle's
will lie told you. So like, this
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			is how my people are.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			So Abdullah Salam is a second
example of how knowledge can lead
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			to the hook and to embracing it.
But there's also examples in this
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15
			era of knowledge not leading to
the hook. And that's the example
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			of how he even
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:24
			he was one of the leaders of the
Jews in hybrid and Korea. He was
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:29
			the father of Sofia. Been to Korea
a mini the Mother of the Believers
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			and all the Allah to Allah Anna.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			Sophia, but the Allah Anna she
narrates she said I was a little
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:40
			girl. And I was really loved by my
father and my uncle Eliezer.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			So our father and our uncle we
acid, they used to really love
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			her. So they allowed her to be
around them. Like when they had
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			private discussions and whatnot,
they wouldn't allow anyone else.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			But Sofia was allowed. She said
one day I heard my father go to
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:01
			Rasul Allah, so I seldom. And he
went to inspect him and to see his
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			characteristics and to see if he
fits the characteristics that were
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			mentioned in the Torah.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			And then he went back and she
said, I heard the conversation
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			between him and Abuja said my
uncle, her father, Oh, yeah. He
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			said to Abuja, sir, he said, I
want and I saw Mohamed, we also
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			said, so what did you see? Did he
fit the description? Or you said,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29
			Yes, he fit the description. But
he also said, okay, so what are we
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			going to do? Oh, yeah, he said,
the idea what, to whomever it I'll
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			be his enemy until I die.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			I'll be his enemy until I die.
It's probably see, although he
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:46
			knew that also seldom, and he knew
his characteristics. But guess
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			what? He continued to disbelieve,
even until the siege of high bar,
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			were the prophets. I seldom
brought him and dragged him under
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57
			his foot. And he told him Yeah,
hey, look at what your disbelief
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			brought you to. You're on the
brink of death. And you're right
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			here. What do you have to say? Or
you said,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			Man had him to Allah either what
he said, I never will regret being
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:16
			your enemy. Oh, Mohammed Subhan.
Allah. He said, When I came to
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			him, Al hammertone Kitab Hala, who
Elena
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			woman you highly below Helaba.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			And it is
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:30
			a slaughter that Allah wrote upon
the sons of Israel upon them. And
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			whoever fights Allah, Allah will
defeat them. So it's as if he
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:38
			said, it was our destiny to be
defeated and stomped on by you.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			And he chose to be on the wrong
side. This is very interesting
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			actually. And this is very
interesting. You see how the
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:52
			knowledge was used to misguide
him, and to make him steadfast
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			upon what, upon bottling upon
falsehood.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			Another example is the example of
selama Abdul Salam Al Ansari.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Did Allah and by the way, he's one
of the 313, that Fortin better
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			selama by the ALLAH and he said, I
was a little kid, little boy, I
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			used to walk I used to be
neighbors, of a neighbor to the
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			Jews of Medina. And there was a
scholar amongst the Jews that
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			would talk about Jana Gnar. And he
would talk about Yeoman herself
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			Judgment Day. And he said,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:32
			One day, I was sitting there, and
I told this Jewish scholar after
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			he told us about the hellfire and
about paradise and judgment, He
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:40
			said in the fire will be so severe
that the hottest furnace in this
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:45
			dunya is still nothing compared to
what you'd wish you were in a
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			furnace from how hot the Hellfire
is.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			So selama he was one of them, we
should have came on. He wasn't he
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			didn't believe in any of this.
Right? And it was the Jews talking
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			about it. And he was one of the
the, you know, that we should?
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			He said, How do I know your true?
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			He's telling the Jewish scholar,
how do I know you're right? He
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			said there would be a prophet that
will come from here, he pointed
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			south of Medina, which is towards
Mecca and Yemen. He pointed south,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:19
			he said there will come a profit
from over there, and he will prove
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			to you that
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:27
			we are correct. And he will bring
victory to us and He will teach
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			you and everyone will know that
this is the truth. So when Salam I
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			grew up,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			he followed Rasulullah sai Sallam
he embraced Islam accepted Islam.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			But guess what?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			This Jewish scholar did not accept
Islam.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:47
			He remained the covenant Selim I
went to him. He said, he said,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:51
			Didn't you used to tell us about
Janna not? Didn't you use to teach
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			us what Muhammad sai Sanam is
teaching us now?
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:59
			Don't you know this? And didn't
you describe him? The way he came
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			in the Torah and you pointed out
where he's gonna come from? He
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			said yes, but that's not him.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			That's not him.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			So he gave two examples of
scholars whose knowledge guided
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:16
			them to the truth and to examples
of scholars whose knowledge guided
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:21
			them to falsehood brothers and
sisters, we learn one thing, that
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			knowledge alone is not enough to
save someone.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:31
			But it has to be accompanied with
humbleness and willingness to
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			accept the truth no matter who it
comes from.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:41
			Without this knowledge, will lead
to the bottom it's not for our own
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:45
			or her man or caught on it's not
Hitler or Stalin or whoever it is.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:49
			That's going to be the first in
the Hellfire it is going to be a
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:54
			scholar like that of Hawaii and
that scholar who sent him I was
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			talking about
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			brothers, but what does this
affect us as Muslim in
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			the Rasul some Allahu alayhi wa
sallam says of Allah, Allah said,
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
prophesized so many things from
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			the signs of the hereafter. We
know about the Mady and his
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:18
			coming. We know about Missoula is
Salah is Salam, we know about the
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			gel, we know about the sun rising
from the West, we know about the
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:28
			rising what the buildings that are
going to be built by the Barefoot
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:33
			naked, you know, dependent people
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			wa sallam described the shepherd's
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			by you.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			There are two types of scholars
the same types that existed
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46
			amongst many extra eel amongst the
Jews and the Christians. We have
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:50
			the same types amongst the OMA
today. Just because someone knows
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			of the coming of a silent Salam
does not mean that they're going
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:57
			to know to follow him. And just
because they know of the coming of
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:01
			the melody and his description and
attribute does not mean that
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			they're going to going to
recognize him as the melody and
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			follow him.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			Just because they know the
description of the judge does not
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:14
			mean they're going to reject him.
It's beyond this. It's the
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			humbleness, it's the submission.
It's the willingness to accept the
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:23
			truth that we must live right now
before these times come. Because
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			if we don't have this as a guide,
the knowledge will not benefit us.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			As a matter of fact, the knowledge
can harm us because it can only
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:35
			make us go lower in the Hellfire
with a biller. So we ask Allah not
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:40
			only knowledge, play knowledge,
but we ask Allah for knowledge and
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:45
			willingness to follow it. Right
knowledge that produces action and
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			manifests in action
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			and the willingness to accept the
truth no matter where it is. We
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:57
			ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to
guide us and to show us the truth.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
make us free
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			I'm those who have the knowledge
to recognize the prophecies of
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam know
what he left behind and the legacy
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:11
			he left behind, and to follow it
with our humbleness and for our
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:16
			hearts to be pure, and not to make
us of the examples of those
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			corrupt scholars have been so ill,
but to make us of those who are
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:25
			guided to the truth and followed
Muhammad sai Salam, the same way
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			they're going to follow a sign a
Salam when He comes again, we ask
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			Allah to guide us and to show us a
straight path. I mean, you're
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			obliged. I mean, I'm sorry to take
long brothers. I know this is a
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			long Sunday, but I have I asked
Allah that we've benefited from
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			this era Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah in
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:47
			our Mala who use one Luna
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			Yeah
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			levena
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:02
			water he wants to label this nema.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:07
			In Medina yo Luna, Allah wants to
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			feed to Nia
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			my other movie now
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:25
			what Lavina you do? Meanie now?
Mina TV a while at MCC decibel
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
