Imam Ibn Ull Josi
mentioned something which I think is incredibly important
because
these are definitely challenging times, man.
And sometimes what happens with Muslims is instead
of turning back to the Quran
into the teachings of the prophet we look
for other things to rely on.
But it's the Quran that we have to
rely on. You gotta have an intimate relationship
with the Quran. You don't have to be
an to
have a personal relationship with the Quran.
SubhanAllah, I wasn't Muslim and the Quran guided
me to Islam. I wasn't a scholar.
I didn't know
much, if anything,
but the Quran guided me.
Then what about you if you're already Muslim?
And
this story that he mentions is very beautiful
because it shows how when people go through
difficulties,
they root themselves in revelation. I feel sometimes
specifically the American Muslim community
were always looking for bells and whistles.
We're always looking for something else instead of
having a relationship
with the
Quran. Imam Abusti said,
cling with all your might to the book
of Allah, the Quran,
because it will be the pillar that sustains
you, the anchor that hold you down
when all other pillars and anchors leave you.
SubhanAllah.
The story that Imam Ibnu Josie mentions is
actually
is incredible,
and he talks about one of our great
luminaries, Abdullah ibn Mubarak,
who, of course, is a student of Imam
Abu Hanifa
Rahim Muhammad.
And Abdullah ibn Mubarak was in the desert,
and he came across a woman who
she was lost.
You know, actually, in some of the books
of fiqh,
for example, in the Shafi'i Methheb,
there's a chapter on how you should take
care of and look after someone who's lost
in a desert
or lost regardless of their gender.
So, subhanAllah, he mentions that Abdullah ibn Mubarak,
one of the great, great scholars,
he came to this woman's help.
And when he asked her what happened, she
said,
She responded with the Quran.
He was kind of taken aback. He was
like, what?
Of course, the verse says that
she's lost.
Where are you going? She said, Rabul Mashriqih
is the Lord of the East.
I said, What?
Every time I ask this lady a question,
she responds with the Quran.
This conversation kept going on and every time
she would respond with the Quran.
Even when he said to her, here, please,
you can ride my camel,
ride my horse.
Excuse me. She said
for riding an animal.
And then as she was saying that,
Abdullah ibn Mubarak was like, what?
Taking her back, he looked at her and
she said,
So,
finally,
they came across a caravan,
and she said, yeah, Bush yeah. Bushala had
the holaam.
You know, like,
I got kids. Go find my kids.
And he said, what are the names of
your kids? And she said,
she responded with the Quran.
Then as he came back with her children,
she said, you know,
the story of Ibrahim and his guests, meaning
take care of this guest, so they took
care of him. And as he sat down
to eat, she said,
eat and drink now for what you've done
in the past.
He was shocked,
so he said to her children,
hey,
you know, I have a question.
What's the deal with your mom, man? Like,
the entire time my whole conversation with her
has been the Quran.
And they said,
we don't really have an answer for you
except to tell you
that this is how she's been talking for
40 years.
