Before we get started, the special gua for
the people of Sudan,
people of Kashmir,
specifically now what we're seeing happening in Palestine
And the Gaza, we ask Allah to
make Ihia of this
So now he's gonna move on from talking
about
words that the meaning is in the actual
word.
It's in the actual word. Like,
the word itself
carries that meaning.
Towards now, what we say are the that
means
that these are more like the the the
attributes of the qualities that come with these
words. I don't wanna get into that a
lot now,
but in the future, in other text, we're
going to talk about it. So just be
ready. The added
of these words and the first are gonna
be those words that are
universal in meeting.
Universal immediate. For example, if I say suhaib,
that's one person. That's not universal.
But if I say al insan
in sand,
that's all people.
That's all people. If I say meh or
men, whatever or whom, that that encompasses
anything that falls under the umbrella of that
word. Man could be any human being on
the face of the earth, any human human
being that's lived or will it.
Ma is any inanimate object
that has existed, will exist,
or is existing now. So those words like
in sand and man and ma,
a u a nama tapulu, you drink, call,
mouth, the paralysis
wherever you are, Definitely
wherever.
So underwear ever north, south, east, west, my
house, your house, across the street. Right? It
it you're still very
means to submerge. So
is to drown. So
it the word, it it submerges
all of its singular parts under the meaning
of that word. Understand it that way. So
for example, I'll incent list how many people
would fall under the term inset.
Hellas? You
know, be there
till end of time.
Listen,
who falls under that? What's under the umbrella
of that word?
This is called,
with I am with me.
If I say I'm on to cut bill
at all,
you know, I basically
I submerged you if you will like I
covered you with a gift.
If there wasn't anything I neglect, So that's
the meaning here. I'm are those words in
the Quran
and in Hadith of the prophet salallahu alayhi
salam
who their legal implications
are
universal.
That's very important.
That's very important because
that means that that ruling applies to everybody.
That ruling applies to everybody. So the Sheikh,
he says
as for I'm this universal word for who
it is meh what
meh I'm my share a d fasaden
is it is what encompasses 2 or more
things.
Just to FYI,
if you really think about the definition I
gave you
for I'm earlier through examples,
whatever
good you do, man, you put it allah.
May you put it
all out of them. Whoever gives to God
a good loan, whoever.
You know, that
that definition that he gives, you're gonna see
that there's an issue with many scholars of
about this definition from Aluma, by the way,
that Imam Al Haramain took from Asharazi
Al Ustef,
ma'am, I'm Shayain
because if you say 2 things, that's not
I'm anymore.
That's cause
specific and that's gonna come later on. So
understand right now
that there is a disagreement
amongst the 3 that
make up what's called the of
the also also. Who are the motakalimid?
The Madakis,
the Shafi'is, and the Hanbalis.
The other madhab in also the fulk is
called the fuqa. Who's that? Sadatu
al Hanafi at Hanafi's. Just remember that. But
within the the
Madakis, the Shafi's, the Hanbali's, there's a difference
of opinion.
Is an am something that is 2 or
more words
or is it something which is plural? Does
it Because 2 would be limiting it. So
for example, imam ibn Hajib says, left on
your stock
report, jamia afradi.
Be deaf Ateen
Right.
A word that encompasses
all of Efradi,
its parts, all of those in sand, all
the human beings that come under that work.
So just to FYI, that's gonna come up
later. And I don't like to get lost
in the in the, the dispute over definitions,
but sometimes it helps us think
more holistically. And when we study FERC, we're
able to appreciate sometimes little differences rooted in
definitions. So Imam Al Haramain represents one school
that says am is 2 or more words.
The other, like the, we say
that it's a word that is not restricted
to 2,
but it's
something which is
unrestricted.
Right? It's it's not exclusive this better meaning
is exclusive
it's not exclusive to to unrestricted is something
we'll talk about the future It's not
exclusive to 2.
It is universal. So he says what am
I am for who am I? I'm a
she any
Right? For example, the statement,
I
I
that I, you
know, encompassed Zayd and Amr with the other.
And again,
there is some concern here because you're limiting
the other to 2 people. Actually the example
I gave you earlier, I just wanted to
show you in language what it means. It's
not a full solafil example. So some people
said here that Imam Al Haramain here is
just giving a linguistic definition
and a linguistic
usage and the amount to Zayden wa'am bilaata
that I I
I showered if you will. Amran and Zayd
with a gift.
But scholars are also like you can't limit
to Amran and Zaid.
But if you pay attention what Imam Al
Haramain is doing, he's sticking to his method.
He says, which
encompasses 2 things. So the first example, look
at it.
He mentions 2 things.
So according to him,
that's Amr.
And I I gave all humanity, every one
of them, a gift.
So according to his, he's right
to Amr Al Nzate
or more.
Those scholars like the who I mentioned earlier
are gonna say no. No.
The only example that works here is.
I gave all humanity,
something of a gift, not say it in
Amr because that will be what's called
to make it exclusive.
Then also,
scholars, they say
about,
you know, this definition,
Yeah, he doesn't mention that.
But what does it mean dafat alwahida?
It means that it's just one word, one
expression. So al insen,
one word,
but it encompasses
all.
It's a fraud. Remember that word, a fraud,
all its parts if you all its singular
parts. So we deaf, I think, why he
didn't come up out of Imam
and his Muqtasah
means in one expression it encompasses
those universal meanings.
So I don't have to say Suhaib,
Abdullah,
Ahmed, Fatima,
Urukaya,
Jameel, Abdullahi.
Now I mention a fraud.
Then how do we recognize
when something is I'm when we're reading the
Quran
or reading reading the hadith of said a
while salaahu alayhi was salamah
