			Assalamualaikum, my brother, my sister, you could have learned a lot. How much you are going to
teach people depends on your specialization, you may only be teaching one subject, you may be
teaching many subjects, you may only be teaching upon entry level basics, you may be going into the
details. But you may never ever be teaching every single subject. Remember that. So don't become too
proud and arrogant. And don't start thinking this one doesn't know and that one doesn't know. And
this one is like this. And I know more and I'm intelligent. And I'm a chef and I'm an alum. And I'm
this and that no knowledge belongs to Allah. Yes, make an effort to learn with humbleness and
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:57
			humility, and respecting others, teach them, guide them, speak to them. Don't speak down to them.
Speak across Subhanallah address people with utmost respect. Don't try and make it seem like you're
the one who knows everything. And nobody else knows anything. And it's just me. Now, it's not just
you. To be honest, you could know everything, you could have a lot of knowledge, but maybe Allah did
not use you to spread that knowledge because of your arrogance. Maybe Allah has not used you and you
might pick it up. And you're busy attacking everyone here and there not realizing that you know
what, only 5% of what you've actually learned to the masses probably need immediately. That's
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:05
			something interesting. It's only those who specialize in subjects that would need much more than
just the 5%.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:14
			So if the general masses and the general people what do they need? They need to know who is Allah,
they need to know about Allah, they need to know
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:54
			to worship Allah alone. They need to know what the worship is they would have to learn taharah
salah, they would need to know what's halal, what's haram, they would have to know rules and
regulations. And that's it. But they don't need to go into every nitty gritty of every single
subject. They don't need to go into every single verse of the Quran. And it's detailed and in and
all the linguistic differences there. So it's important to expand knowledge but not everyone is
going to specialize it's not a duty upon everyone to specialize in everything. No. They need to know
the basics. The minimum what is called or termed in the Arabic language ma Hua Maluma Mina Dini bit
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:36
			borrower that which is supposed to be known regarding the faith, necessarily? That is something Yes,
you need to know. But beyond that, some people will specialize in certain subjects, some in other
subjects, don't you think that you are the one who knows it all, and don't despise others? support
people, some people, their job is entry level, they will go in and encourage people to do good and
discourage them to do bad generally. They're not wrong. They're also fulfilling a duty Unto Allah.
They may be doing a good job, who knows. And then there are some who specialize, who might be doing
a good job too.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:04:03
			But shapen comes to us and makes us fight each other makes us believe that I'm doing something and
these guys are doing nothing or my method is the correct method. And these guys method is not the
correct method. Unless it's glaring you in the face most probably it's just arrogance and shaytan
that's making you think that way. So don't allow that to happen. I know this is a very, very
important piece of advice.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:12
			Take it from me. May Allah subhanho wa Taala use every one of us, Kratos goodness, I mean, a Salaam
Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
