00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Welcome back to our reading of the war
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			of Qat of Imam al Juwayi.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			Using the Hashiyya of Imam al Susi
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			on the Hashiyya or shakha Usayna imam al
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			hapab,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			quratulayin,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			on the warakat of imam signa aljuwayin.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			The best print of Al HaTab's,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			explanation is that which was done critically by
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			Sayna Imam As Susie.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			Unfortunately,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			even this print, which is a print has
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			mistakes and I read this years ago with
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			a professor
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			and reading it again with the professor.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			Another time.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			It's unfortunate.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			That the Torah.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			Torah, right, and really we hope that we
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			can we can get back and, like, help
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			to contribute in some way those who are
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			who are critically editing these texts.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			But after talking about the three components of
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			within the context of its scientific definition, I
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			thought it would be very important
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			to read
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			a really, really nice statement of Imam Al
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			Haqab, who says,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			he says, these three things.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Meaning the Torah. We talked about how Torah
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			means evidences that are definitive, what Al Baji
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			calls
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			Right? And then and then what's called
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			for example,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			and then,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			it's just have a and
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			where something maintains the ruling it had before
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			the Sharia unless something comes within the Sharia
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			that changes it. So it's like the word
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			to be a companion, so is to have
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			al so that is now our companion. Right?
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			It stays
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			in its its place, permissibility,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			for example,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			or something which is
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			you know and there's a debate about this.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			We'll talk about is it permissible is it
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:13
			forbidden?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			The Malekis have a very interesting position on
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			this,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			but the word
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			encapsulates
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			all three of those.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			And
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			then how do you use them as evidences?
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			What and what are the conditions of the
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			one who
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			uses them and employs them
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			So the sheikh,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			he says,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			He says so these 3 components.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			Right
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			understanding what are the.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			Number 2, understanding how to use them as
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			evidences, what's the proper methodology
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			here,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			and number 3, what are the
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			qualifications
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			of someone who can use these?
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			It's called.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			That's why if you notice something if you're
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			a student of Arabic, you know
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			that the word right is.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			The form,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			one of its
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			can be.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			What
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			Why though?
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			And I heard this from one of our.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			Years ago when I was reading to him
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			in.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			Because the word is 3 things that's plural.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:28
			It's not.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			It's.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			Just like
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			means not only
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			So it's
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			The foundations
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			of are its evidences,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			how to use the evidences, what qualifies to
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			be an evidence,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			how to use those evidences,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			and who can use them.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			That takes us now to the statement of
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			saying the
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			Imam
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			What are the different chapters that we're going
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			to encounter?
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			It
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			also the scholars use the word.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			The plural is and I heard from years
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			ago, one of our and I was reading
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			to him and all I
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			who said that the scholars use the word
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			doors.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			So that the the student will will will
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			want Jannah
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			Want
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			to enter one of the of Jannah. Subhan
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			Allah. And the key to entering the of
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			Jannah is sincerity. So the word
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			used by the scholars here
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			is What does means? That a word has
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			a meaning that yet that was an
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:03
			that's
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:04
			why it's
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			to pass. That's why
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			the passport allows you to pass the.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			So Majez
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			surpasses.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Right? It takes on a different meaning than
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			what it was initially used for in its
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			right amongst, you know, regular people
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			and takes on now figurative meaning. So here
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			is taking on a figurative meaning
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			to remind us
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			to be sincere in our studies. So I
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			remind myself and you to be sincere.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			And one of the signs of sincerity is
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			you're not involved in senseless arguments. Even if
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			people say things that you don't agree with,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			you and I, we ain't that important.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			The world doesn't agree with us.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			The other reason is is that
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			reminds us of a and
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			there are etiquettes to enter the door. Right?
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			So we enter into someone's domicile.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			There are etiquettes
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			for us who enter the daril
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			and for the one who receives us.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			So in this one word if you pay
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			attention it can encapsulate the idea of paradise
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:18
			and sincerity
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			and also the etiquettes of the one who's
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			entering,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			the student,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			and the etiquette of the host,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			the teacher.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			So that one word, web, web, and beb
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:31
			Masha'Allah
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			capsulates all of the etiquette of the body
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			and the teacher found in the I have
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			said that Imam Al Qazari
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			and more
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			because the prophets of the life.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			You couldn't.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			Whoever believes in the last day that Allah
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			in the last day should be good to
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:50
			the guest
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			Right these these different
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			chapters of.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			Number 1,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			types of speech. 1 of my teachers, he's
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			in prison now. May Allah free him in
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:13
			Egypt
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			under under the
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			over there.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			Used to say to me.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			To know Arabic language and there's different components
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:31
			It's half
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:32
			of
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			a. For saying, Imam says,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			what do you mean?
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			Right? Nouns, verbs, and articles of preposition
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			preposition, especially articles of preposition.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			So what's a noun? What's a verb? What's
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			an article preposition
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			Or an
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			ark.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			What are those?
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			What are the forms of different words that
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			tell me this word is a command. This
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			word is a prohibition.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			When
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			I know something is universal and something restricts
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:14
			the universal.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			So all human beings.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			Here,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			except those who believe.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			So that's the
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:28
			universal.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			That's the
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			What's means
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			that something is mentioned in a unrestricted way.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			Allah says blood, dumb.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			Pay attention. There's a difference between and and
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			and and will talk about in the future.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			And
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			is what
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			restricts the
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			in one of its.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			One of its qualities it restricts
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			right
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			completely removes a subsection
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			from the generality of the term.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22
			But hold
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			me tattoo a demo,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			blood has been forbidden to you. Later on
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			the Quran says,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			the. Right? What's allowed?
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			What's not allowed is
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			the blood that flows. So the the rest
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			is
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			allowed, the rest isn't. That's So
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			the difference we say,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:51
			Right? So
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			is something that is gonna take out the
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			entire genus of something. And this is where
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			that's why some of the earlier, like, say
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			We'll talk about it in the future. The
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			point is, I don't wanna get caught up
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			in this now. This is not the point
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			of, a study in this, is that maybe
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			you're gonna wonder what's the difference between, like,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:14
			a universal
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			and something which is general. Well, the general
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			is general,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			and the universal is gonna be restricted by
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			a certain quality
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			of that that general thing.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			We'll talk about it in the future.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			Is something like like
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			pronouns,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			you
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			know, who's who here, and the is what
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			comes in, clarifies it for us in the
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:45
			Quran.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			Is a text which
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:56
			it
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			if we look at it, right, it carries
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			multiple means.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			So the is what's going to be understood
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			to be implicitly
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			extracted from the meaning. For example,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11
			you know,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			there's no salah in the masjid except for
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			the neighbor of the for the neighbor of
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			the mosque. There's no salah except in the
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			mosque.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			Does it mean
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:21
			at all
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			or that it's deficient in edger?
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			That's the it's called us different over the
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			is what's considered weak of the weaker of
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:30
			the 2.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			We're going to talk about it in the
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			future Inshallah Well, if Aru and heard the
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			Aliflam is for Mudafali
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			a Afaroor
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			Rasulillah.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			Al Sahibi Sharia.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			The actions of the prophet
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			are gonna be from the chapters of.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			Aggregator and the aggregator.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			Means, of course, consensus of consists.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			Is related to the narrations attributed to the
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			prophet
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			analogy
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			is something allowed or not.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			Meaning.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			Do we start with something
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			that doesn't have any evidence in Sharia as
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			being permissible
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:26
			or not.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:30
			I'll also
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			some of the Malachi say, the foundation of
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			all things is permissible. Some of the
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			that the foundation of
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			is until we find the evidence that permits
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			it and then, of course, as Alba mentioned,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			as you have a large contingent of that
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:47
			say.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			Right, that when we start with something that
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			doesn't have any real clear evidences from the
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			Quran and sunnah, we should be careful until
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			we know is it allowed or not so
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			we don't get involved until we know.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			Talk about that.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:05
			What
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			and then how do you use the evidences
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			like what is the methodology
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			for using evidences?
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			And then what are the conditions for someone
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			to be in a and what is the
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			relationship between the and the people he or
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			she serves and so on and so forth.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			Gathering of
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			chapters
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			are the chapters which we are going to
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			talk about in detail
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			from here on out.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:48
			So what
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			are
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			the
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			chapters
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			of Of course, there's more than this, but
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			in this text that we're reading, this introductory
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			text,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			and basically, you know, I heard from one
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			of my teachers, actually, all the books of
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			are gonna fall, this is just gonna get
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			bigger and bigger and bigger in the explanations
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			right and at times we find in the
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12
			things that we find not even in the
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			or in other books of
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			even the books of Sayna Imam al Jueini
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			Alhamdulillah. Moving forward is what we're going to
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			study in this important topic, this important subject
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			to
