This idea of Tajdeed
is not something new, it's not like something
modernists
are making up.
Imam Sayyidina Asiyuti Rahim Muhullah, he has a
poem about who he considered to be up
until his time. Imam Masiyyuti dies 9/11 after
Hijri.
So he wrote a poem
about the different Mujaddids
throughout the history of Islam.
Of Al Alam al Mouduri
in Pakistan in Lahore SubhanAllah.
In his book The Revivers of Islam, you
should read it. It's like 4 volumes if
you speak English. It's called,
Revivers of Islam by Maududi. He mentions in
there also this idea of Tajdeed and the
Mujaddid.
Sheikh Qaradawi,
the reason that we say he's a Mujaddid
is that he, Rahim Ohola
Wa laauzakih alalaiyahani.
Everybody, of course,
has their shortcomings,
but that's that's not the place to talk
about so much shortcomings now.
Sheikh Yusuf
Rahim Muhullah,
you will not find one dariyah
except some way or another he or she
has been influenced by the work of a
doctor Yusuf Baradawi. He wrote more than 180
books.
Mashallah.
The second is, and I don't want to
make it too complicated,
but Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi,
he did what a Mujaddid does because we
have to differentiate between Tajdid and Tabbid.
Tabbid is to destroy.
So sometimes we see people with the name
of revival actually,
They say like, Tajdeed, Tajdeed, I wanna revive
Islam but then there's no Islam left
as I shout to be, Muwafakati
mentioned. So Sayyidina Imam,
Qaradawi,
how do we know that he is a
Mujaddid?
Sheikh Ahmad Zarook
said
Imam, Sidi Ahmad Zaluk Manqo Aitasawaf, he
teaches this idea of how do you
do what's called tasiyim, How do you root
your ideas in Sharia?
And then you
you establish them with their evidences. This is
something that doctor Yousef Khaledawi,
very rarely you see him say,
Aqalala,
kalosullah,
kalosullan.
The second thing is that doctor Yousuf Qaradawi
introduced ideas and terminologies
even though they had their
origins
in the academic
tradition of Islam,
he brought words
that no one ever heard before. MostalaHatal
Jadeedah.
Like for example,
Khaledawi,
based on the idea of
a famous idea in the books of Usulofirk
and Fatwa, that a Fatwa can change according
to time and place.
So Sheikh Yusuf Qara Dawi and Shaqta Hajar
Allahayarhamu.
I used to read the Muafakat shakta Hajar
al Awani in Egypt, Allahayarhamu.
They
together
presented this idea of Fiqh for Muslims that
are in their numbers are minority.
Shuka Aqaliyat.
Later on, Sheikh Taha Jibra told me, I
wish we didn't call it Fuka Aqaliyat
because Aqaliyat,
first of all the Mushtaq is wrong. If
you know Tastri Fil Efaal,
you see the problem. This is not the
time to talk about that now. The second
thing he told me is the word Aqaliat,
it doesn't have Izzah.
Right? It doesn't have like a sense of
of pride and honor and Islam,
Alhamdulillah.
So always even those people when you meet
them, they're in their nineties,
they're still
interrogating their ideas, Masha'Allah.
The other is that doctor Youssef Karabawi,
even though he's coming at the end of
sort of an era of Sheikh Abdulazir Sheikh
Mohammed
Abdulazir,
like some of the great scholars
before
who revived
the idea of Al Maqasid
Maqasid I Sharia.
But Yusuf Qaradawi
is perhaps the first person to write about
the Maqasid for the masses,
to teach the masses,
to care about the the masses of the
Muslims,
not just the scholars.
So we say, Arrahimohullah.
Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi put himself in difficult positions
because
anytime you take a position between Efrat and
Tafrid,
you're gonna have enemies.
Anytime you try to be in the middle,
the most difficult thing is to balance the
structure.
You are naturally going to acquire a large
number of enemies, Rahimullah Sheikh.
So he presented the idea of Al Wasatiya,
the role of the Islamic academic tradition to
be an inspiration
not simply blindly followed,
The importance of Ijtihad
in the modern era.
The Shia he created
with a number of other luminary scholars,
the Majes of Fatul Urupi,
right,
the European Fatul Council, and now, alhamdulillah, I'm
lucky to be part of the International Union
of Muslim Scholars.
Sheikh
is behind a lot of these great works,
Alhamdulillah.
And he paid the price his children were
put in prison. SubhanAllah.
His some of his family still are in
prison for no reason, no charges. SubhanAllah.
People suffered.
So ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to
grant him
his Ajer
in an amplified way and to bless him,
Insha'Allah,
and to unite him with the prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam.
The most important book any American Muslim can
read
after the Quran and Sunnah
is the book of doctor Youssef Kharadawi, Islam
Between Rejection and Extremism.
You should read that book before you join
join any group.
Take Beata in Ishaikh.
Go anywhere to study.
You should read that book. It should be
taught in Muslim high schools in this country.
Islam between
extremism and rejection.
It's one of the most important books written,
subhanallah, in the last few years.
So we say, Raheem Mohullah,
in books of Yusuf Qara Dawi,
ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to illuminate his grave, insha Allah.
Even though we can say that one of
the heads of the revival of Islam
has passed,
his metaphoric children
are still around Alhamdulillah
carrying this revival, this idea of awakening and
Ummah and bringing dignity and unity to the
Ummah
of the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi
Wasallam.
