00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			each week when we do this, I want
to take out five minutes and go
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			over and answer one of the
questions that were brought that
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			was brought to us.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			From from online, and this
question has to do, it's one of
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			the Safina QA questions. I think
this will be question 30. Question
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:34
			14. And the question is what
defines a soldier? Ma? What
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			exactly is a Henderson? What
Jamar? And people ask this
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42
			question very? It's a very
important question. Because if
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			we're saying that there are these
all these groups, and we know that
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
			hadith is 73 groups, and that
there's one correct and saved
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			group, well, how do we know that
that's what we want to be on? Or
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			how do we know that that's what it
is? Or what we're upon is, you
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02
			know, that group? And if also, if
you notice, whenever someone does
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			some kind of wrong action? What do
people say people always say?
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:13
			Well, they're taking the verses
out of context, right. So we
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			should ask a question, then then
the skeptics, which usually they
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			don't, but the skeptic should,
they should ask a question. And
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			they should say, Well, if your
book is, as you say, any type of
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			idea you have, you can find a
verse for it. Right? Isn't that
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			what people say? Anything you
want? You can find a verse for it.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			Well, if that's the case, then how
is it a Book of guidance?
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:41
			How is it clear as it states it's
a clear book, right? It says it's
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			a clear book. So how is it clear
if I could pick and choose
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			whatever I want from it? Okay, the
answer to this is very simply that
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			at a Sonowal Jana
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			consists of everything.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:03
			Every tafsir, explanation,
interpretation, understanding of
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			every verse and Hadith, okay?
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:12
			That does not contradict another
verse on Hadith. That's the key.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:24
			All right, every interpretation,
every tafsir, every Isambard
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			ruling derived, okay.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			From any verse and Hadith, that
does not contradict another
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			person, Hadith. And of course,
doesn't contradict the language.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:43
			Okay, contradict language. That's
what consists of the body of what
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			we call a listener will demand
anytime, any interpretation or
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			understanding, or tafsir of a
verse and a hadith or ruling
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:57
			derived from a verse and Hadith
that contradicts another verse and
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:02
			Hadith. That's what we call the
heresy. And you have to throw it
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:07
			out. It's wrong. Okay. That's what
we call a heresy that you have to
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			throw out. Another thing, thank
you. And whenever a subject is
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			brought up, okay? And someone says
to you look at this hadith,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			and it doesn't sit right with you.
And they're saying, Look, this
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:26
			means that that, okay, what is the
right response? Right? the right
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:32
			response is, show me all of the
verses about that subject. Okay,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			not just one cherry picked Hadith,
or cherry picked verse, no, show
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:42
			me all of the verses, and all the
Hadith about that subject. Then
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			when you go through all of them,
then you'll come out with the
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			truth. Right? Then you come out
with the truth. And the Prophet
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:54
			said the word and so Noah, Gemma
comes from some say that said
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
			Eileen is the one who asked even
our best, okay to begin
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:05
			codifying matters because of the
rise of the high wattage. Okay,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			the rise of the high wattage group
sects. Okay, which brings up
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			another question, why are there
sects in Islam? If Islam is true?
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			Or why did He Allah protect it? He
protected the Quran? Why does he
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			protect to the theology of Islam
and the law of Islam? Well,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			because the answer is because
we're humans, we're human beings.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			We're not light switches that are
on and off. We have gradients of
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:35
			understanding. We have whims. We
have how're we have wills, power
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			that contradicts sometimes the
guidance, right? And all of us at
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			some point or another, there's
going to be a piece of guidance,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:48
			and our whims will want to do the
opposite. So there's a gradient of
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			guidance and as the province I
sent him said, What is this
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:56
			gradient is 73 Grades one is
correct, and the others are wrong.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Now even our bass he took this one
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Edison wedgemount Which some
people say he was the first person
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			to utter that phrase, and Allah
knows best, but it's not really
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			critical, but some people
attributed to him anambas That
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			it's from a hadith in which the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa alayhi
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			wa sallam said
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			after my death you will see 11
cathedra much difference, a lot of
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			differences. After my death, you
will see a lot of differences.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			Okay, a lot of new things.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:32
			Okay, so they said well, what do
we do with an O Messenger of
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			Allah? He said stick to my sunnah.
And the Sunnah of the right the
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			guidance levers after me.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			Okay, right, we got up and he was
after me, which he said cool, if
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:52
			not Al Khalifa, not Al Khalifa 10
Al Khalifa plural, which means the
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			province I sell them knew that the
Julio quarter that will be
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:00
			multiple, more than three, three
or more. Why is that important?
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			Because later he said, Okay, 11
and daddy, that's when I said it
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:11
			can laugh after means 30 years. So
if, as is claimed, by Anusha, that
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			there should have been one
Cleaver, highly should have been
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:18
			the Khalifa will only lived 29 and
a half years after the prophets I
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22
			said, and then has in six months,
he was looking at it.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			So if the Khilafah is 30 years,
there would have been only two
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:30
			cadavers if it was supposed to be
Ali. And Abu Bakr and Omar had
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			done wrong. That's a little side
note. But the qualifier is plural.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			Okay. So take my son, then they
asked my sister of Allah, well,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			who then will be on your son at
that time? So we could be with
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			them? He said, at the gym,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			the majority, the gym Hall? And
why is it that it happens to be
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:56
			that most of the people are on the
Sunnah? Well, actually, it's very
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:56
			simple.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			Because the Dean was public, was
practicing public in front of
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			everyone. The Salah was public
five times a day, the Prophet was
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			there for 10 years in public every
single day, answering questions
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			and teaching. Battles happened in
front of everyone.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:20
			He made what was in front of
everyone. Okay. So the Dean was
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			public. And the transmission of
the Dean was as we would call it
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			today democratized. The prophesy
centum said, any one of you who
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			hears anything from me, pass it
on,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			pass it on, and don't think that
you have to be have a high level
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			of qualification. It may be that
you're passing it on to someone
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			smarter than yourself, or more
attentive and attuned, then
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:48
			yourself. So the transmission was
democratized, there was no limits,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:53
			there are no rules that state that
you can or cannot transmit a
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			matter from the Dean. Okay.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			And because of this, it went
transmission was public, from
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			public from public and as a result
of that, right, as a result of
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			that, it's very hard to embed or
insert a lie into the truth.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			Alright, I hope that was a clear
explanation. And if you all want
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			further explanations
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			of it, any further questions about
it? Feel free to send up a
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			question and at any time
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29
			you have questions? There is a
brother a runner, he's wearing his
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			tracksuit because he's going to be
running to get your questions.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			Okay. Then just bring them up
here. Anyone who has a question,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			write it down right away, and then
inshallah we'll answer them
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			towards the end.
