important thing that we wanna talk about in
I'm what is I'm for those of you
who may be a little like, what? I'm
is a word that encompasses
everything
that's related to it. It's a fraud.
So in San, Anas,
Alukutub,
you said the word Alukutub,
it's all books, Al Muslimoon,
plus all the Muslims. So it's a word
that it has a very serious ramification because,
for example, let's say you're reading somewhere, you
come across a verse
that says, you know,
something,
that the food of the Christians is and
Jews is permissible for you. That's
It's it's it's a universal. So you read
that, you're like, oh, I can eat pork.
I can eat anything else. But if you
you know already in the Quran, there's other
verses that say what? In the hofisk, you're
not allowed to eat pork.
So
when we come across a universal,
we are obligate obligated
we are under an obligation, excuse me, what
happened to my language,
to
find if it is
going to be made exclusive.
To be exclusive.
For example, the Hadith Laaas Surah Tavi Jerin
Masjid e'ilatul Masjid. There's no prayer for the
neighbor of the mosque except in the mosque.
What if he's sick?
What if he's injured?
And so on and so forth. What if
he has a legitimate excuse? So now we
are limiting
that universal. It's called tah, cease with hot
and sod.
Tah, cease.
That there's a difference of opinion on it.
I personally believe it's obligatory for a person
to do their best
to see if something is restricted because if
or if they don't that is made exclusive
excuse me because if they don't they're going
to give the wrong ruling
It's going to lead to a problem So
they should at least try if is to
try your best and try your best.
So now what the sheikh is gonna talk
about are a few ways,
a few phrases
and terms and articles that indicate a word
is a universal.
There are actually more than 200 as mentioned
by Al Horafi Amadiki Rahim Ohola.
We're not gonna do those all year, but
the Sheikh, God bless him, the only mentions
4.
Alhamdulillah.
Right? Because again, this book is just like
a primer.
It's not about scholarship. This book is an
introduction.
So he
says,
you know that
Umum Al Mafoomin Alaaam Arba.
If they saw an Allah has one. Yes
and that That's what he means when he
says.
This is very important. Sometimes when you read
classical text, you may notice that ascot will
limit something.
And sometimes people, because they they may be
in a rush, they think, oh, he made
a mistake. He didn't mention everything. Yeah, yeah,
Meaning that he summarized it, he didn't make
it exclusive.
The first is Mu'awhid.
The singular noun which has
the
is
it it means
Allah. Alham Alhamon.
So he says.
It's a listen and where he'd a listen
and why it does say isn't a listen
and where he do.
An example, after
Also means all
All peep.
All peep.
And how do you know that it's
That the measurement to know something is I'm
is if you can make an exception
of
All of those angels
frustrated.
Iblis even though Iblis isn't an angel
but he's excluded.
So I some people get it confused but
that's a different discussion.
Was permissible except what Yaqob to ishti had
deemed impermissible.
So would you still not
the
acceptance
of an exception
Ra'i
to Anessa
Ilah
Ahmed.
I saw everybody except Ahmed
or Ahmed, who would depending on how what
would you're trying to say? But the point
is,
excluding Ahmed from a Nazi. You learn about
this in the foundations of Eric
as Swiss in that class on exceptions.
So
k? A plural noun like alhamdulillahi
rabbilahirami.
Alhamdulillahirapiilahirami.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all
things.
Maybe someone says you could make it, it's
just not here, you could make an exception,
yeah, if you're a kafir.
So just because it's permissible, but it doesn't
mean you wanna do it.
But for example, Allah says, fuck.
Fight the politics.
Then later on, eat the Ladina I had
to accept for those you have treaties
with. So and mush Ricky
general, more that could reset it, which we
teach the foundations of Arabic one. That's why
I'm teaching it for this moment
out of others.
You could say
hypothetically talking about in this situation, that context,
or those that you have treaties with. So
there is an exception.
So the second
is a plural noun.
Like and mostly met
and mostly mean
illahirabi
Alhamdulillahirabi Alhamdulillahirabi
Alhamdulillahirabi Alhamdulillahirabi Alhamdulillahirabi Alhamdulillahirabi
Alhamdulillahirabi the first Alhamdul
is Ismo Al Mufrad and Warafi Al Islam.
It's a single now Al Islam. So all
the hammed
a lot of mean is is a will
have to be jamming more that could have
said, and we don't need to talk about
that now, but it is a noun
which is plural and it has added for
them. So you see 2 examples in 1
verse.
The next,
what Asma will move behind.
Demonstrated
pronouns.
So these three
demonstrative type pronouns and pronouns fall under what's
called
asma and Mohammed Mohammed means to be,
ambiguous.
What's ambiguous is who they apply to if
I said man yet t in the for
criminal.
Whoever comes to me, I will honor him.
You don't know who it is. That's ambiguous.
She who came to me yesterday, I gave
her a new book and say, who's she?
Who's she? Who's that person? If I
say
whatever good you did, you'll see it with
Allah. So these 3, man, aledi, aledi, aledi,
alediina
and so on and.
Whatever you do
you will find it with Allah. Those all
you to feed Al Umun.
Al Umun.
If I say to you for example, my
deck who's with you? Could be anybody.
Any other big.
Until you answer
it's ambiguous
and that ambiguity
leads to
a matter of cool. You'd read cool melt
wherever you are.
Death will approach you. So I know Phil
McCann related to a place. What matter if
he's the man and win related to a
place I teach this again in the foundations
of Arabic.
When will the help of Allah come in
the heart?
And I gave the example of earlier with
the meaning of a question,
but also means
And you say,
whatever good you do, you'll be rewarded for.
So it's called.
You'll be rewarded for. You could be also
punished.
Mhmm.
And also the which means like information,
not haber like moktada haber, but haber. If
I say for example, you know, alim tume
alim tume I know whatever.
So the information that I know is universal.
And
the 4th,
let me review what we just said to
make it easy for you because I wanna
make sure
as this introduction is brief
and the future when I teach this to
you live, we'll go through it
in greater detail, what,
those ambiguous demonstrative pronouns or pronouns
in articles.
He mentions number 1, men,
for someone for thinking he would be warm
at for inanimate objects. And we said that
there are 3 kind types of mat. We
mentioned
yani,
wa'in,
wa'emata,
and then we talked about meh,
and then we talked about habr. So all
those fall under asma'lmu'bhamah,
which means something is universal in its application.
Then we say, and
again,
which we teach in the foundations of Arabic
language. Now you can see why we teach
that book.
For people that are serious about their studies.
So, for example, that you'll have your law.
If you take out that, it's called that.
If
You take it out. It's gonna be that
you that won't you know. So you say
that you that
that is called lafi nakira nakira means to
me. So that you
absolutely know God except
Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
So we'll stop here that's our introduction to
'Alaam'
and then the 4 phrases that are going
to we want to think about now. Imagine
if we did all 200. I I don't
know all 200 so that would take forever
but
that we just took now that are going
to be applied
to our initial engagement of, number 1, Matt
and Mun,
and Matt in 3 different places we talked
about.
Number 2, Aida,
a,
Matta,
and then Alhab.
Some of those are going under others, so
that's why he says only 4, but he
gives them more than 4, obviously,
because he considers them to be related to
one another under, like, a sing single
sort of category.
We ask Allah
and y'all feel that
that.
Next time we're gonna talk about a few
things related to universals and then move on
to the
things that make universals exclusive.
Alhus.
