00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			So Imam Arazi rahi mohullah,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			it's enough for us to mention
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			that sayna Imam al Suyuti,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			in his important poem, Imam Assuti has a
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			very important book called
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			al Mujaddiddeen. Does the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			a'alehi wasallam, he said in the hadith
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			related by Imam Ibrahim Hajah, this is a
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			good hadith
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			sahiyah. That the prophet said that Allah subhanahu
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			wa ta'ala will sinned at the beginning of
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			every century.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Manujadidlahadeena,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			somebody that will revive Islam
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			for the Muslims.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			We'll we'll we'll bring the Muslims back to
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			the deen.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			And Imam And
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			he mentions like he starts with Sayna Amr
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			Al Khattab radiAllahu anhu, then he goes to
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			all the others,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			Al Baqirani,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			Imam Ahmed, others.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			Sayna Imam al Ashari.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			He says
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			He said the 6th
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			because Imam Sufi dies in the 10th century.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			Imam Fakhruddin Arasi dies 505 after Hajj al.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			So between them is, like, a considerable amount
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			of time,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			but he mentions him as the 6th.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			Mujad did of Islam. It's Imam Mus'eighty.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			That that takes me to the the the
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			third point. When you read something bad about
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			somebody, oh, this person is bad or this
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			imam is bad,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			what what you wanna do is take all
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:50
			of
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			the things people have said about them.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			Don't just rely on one statement that's negative
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			or- just take
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			and then weigh them
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			so that you don't make zul on that
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			that dead person.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			Well,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			also,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			imam
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			al Ghamiri.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			Imam al Ghamiri dies around Ashafi, around 984
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			after Hijri.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			He
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			says
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			He said it is authentically narrated
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			that Allah
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			at the beginning of every century was
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			sin.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			He will send somebody that will revive the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			religion.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			In his poem also Al Qamiri,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			he says, rahimuhuallahu
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			ta'ala
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			wassari suhum al razi,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			that the 6th is Imam Al Razi. Imam
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			he mentions that Imam Al Razi wrote a
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			book, a book about stars and magic and
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			astrology, and,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			you know, you can use the stars for
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			all kind of stuff
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			and all this garbage. You'll find people say,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			like, he was he was,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			he led people
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			astray. He was misguided.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			He was this. He was that. He was
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			this. He was that.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			Imam Ibtemia,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			he attributed this book to Ar Razi and
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			then people began to make taqreed. This is
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			a problem of of uqalid.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			We don't need people to be we need
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			people to be Muqalids and fiqh for the
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			most part because they don't have alat or
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			ishtihad.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			But to be mukalids
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			in criticizing
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			and
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			attacking people,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			no.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			Don't be a muqalid in that.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			Be be careful.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			That's why sometimes a dehabi says
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			if such and such said it, then okay.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			If such and such said it, okay.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Look at the care
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			of a Dahabi.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			And for example,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:16
			Imam
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			al Suki Tajdine al Suki.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			It's about Pati Shafi'i.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			He says about Imam al Razi,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			he didn't write that book.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			In fact, there's a difference of opinion if
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			he even wrote it.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			After Atajdina Subki
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			comes, Imam ibn Hajar al Asqalani,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Rahimullah, who dies 857 after
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			hijri before Su'udi.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			Before Su'udi's death.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			Imam Ibn Hajar,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			he says, I looked for this book everywhere
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			that they attributed to Ar Razi,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			and I didn't find it.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			So one of our brothers,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Ali, I think his name is Ali Hijani.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			He wrote
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			in a form that I'm on that he
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			actually found the book.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			So I found it.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			I opened
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			it and in the very
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			front cover
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			is Arazi's words.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			Watch this.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			You know what Ar Razi said?
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			I
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			am innocent of everything you're about to read
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:31
			in this
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			book. The only reason I wrote it is
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			you know this sheikh. And the is
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			allowed to learn magic, to learn the evil
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			of magicians. Ah, there you go. So does
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			have an asshole in his action?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			Absolutely.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			Imagine how many people slandered him, man. You
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			know that guy who wrote a book about
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			magic, Imam David Blaine, dude. Like, how many
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			people just went off on him? I saw
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			this online. People saying things about him because
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			of this book, that if they found the
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			and they saw what he wrote, what did
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			he say in the very beginning? The front
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:07
			page.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			I am free of everything you're about to
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:11
			read.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			The only reason I wrote this book is
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			so that the ulema
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			can be aware of evil.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			That's why I said, man,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			imagine
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			how many people
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			people may have slandered
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			that are not here to defend themselves If
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:30
			backbiting
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			if riba happens when the person's alive, what
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			about the person who's dead in their grave?
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			So the point
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			is, and I'm I'm I'm emphasizing this because
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			this class is not just to read Raul
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			Salihim. We're trying to lay down kind of
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			a methodology for you to think. I'm not
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			perfect. You don't have to buy everything I'm
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			saying, but you can appreciate the care and
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			concern.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			I saw recently
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			numerous YouTube clips about me. I could say,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			every single one of them is not true.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			Somebody said, respond. I said, I'm I'm collecting
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			a hasanat, bro.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			I'm a FTX dem cas good deeds, bro.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			Just give it to me.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			And also how do you respond to something
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			that's so ridiculously off? Like how would Razi
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			respond to this?
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			See, you guys were saying this about me
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			for centuries. You never took the chance to
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			go read what I actually wrote in the
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			front page. I put it there in the
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			front page to protect myself.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			But
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			will get us caught up in bad things.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			That doesn't also mean imam Razi is perfect,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			of course not, but why? Who's perfect?
