00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			We hope you're doing excellent inshallah. From time
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			to time, I plan to add some supplemental
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			information that I hope will animate
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			your understanding
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			and
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			your,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			you know, your kind of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			imagination around this text and this
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			subject because this is truly a journey that
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			we're taking together.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			And many of these things are coming from
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			the notes I took from my teachers,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			over the years.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			And one of them is
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			the assumption
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			that the warakat,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			which is, you know, only 10 pages. Right?
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			Sheikh al Mihaly,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			his
		
00:00:59 --> 00:00:59
			explanation,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			which is probably the most popular,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			on the War Haqqat because it's the easiest.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			It's around 40 pages.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			That this is like
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Imam Al Haramain's like
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			like, this is his, like, tarjihad
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			of Usul. Like, these are his, like, preferred
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			opinions and this is, like, his final say
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			in the science of Usul Ofilk. And that
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			actually is a big mistake.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			The waraqat,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			as we mentioned previously, was written
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			le elmobtare. Right? To invigorate,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			and to inspire the beginner.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			And if you pay attention to it and
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			how it's written in arabi you begin to
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			note that it's almost like a like a
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			summary of something
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			And, actually, it is.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			And and the proof of this is that
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Imam Al Haramain actually wrote a number of
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			texts in
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			for example, the first book
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			he ever wrote was
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			a
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			which is actually a summary
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			of
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			of Sayna Imam al Birkhilani.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			So,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Talgisfi also lafook of Imam al Haramain
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			is actually
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			a summary. It's in 3 volumes. It's printed,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			by the way, of the book
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			in by Sayidna Imam al Baqilani al Mariki.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Right? Which
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			is. That's the first book he ever wrote.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			That's 3 volumes
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			The last book that he wrote in
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			is of course considered
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			a an anchor in the subject,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			for the Malekis. It is really one of
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			the foundational text even though he was
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			al Burhan.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			And that book,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			you know, is like an oomda. It's like
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			a pillar.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			And in that book, we find the tarjihad
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			of the imam,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			like, his
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			his conclusions and his, like,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			years of exerting his intellect to where he
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			he concludes on things.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			I mean, Imam Abdul Malik,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			ibn Abi Muhammad,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			Imam Al Haramain Al Jawayni, is born like
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			410
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			after Hijarian dies like 478.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			So he lived lived a long life.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			But al Waraqaat
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			is actually
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			the summary
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			of aluma with ayn. Aluma
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:25
			lumayin.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			Alluma
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			of Imam
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Abu Ishaqashirazi.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			In fact, I heard from doctor Abdul Salam
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			who was my teacher in Al Azhar,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			in Usul Al Fakk, one of teachers we
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			had. He was amazing,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			That, you know, if you were to compare
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			and I haven't read the luma of, Shirazi
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			or studied it with anybody. He says, if
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			you were to compare the with the
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			of Sayna
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			Abi Ishaq al Shirazi. Like, it's like almost
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			like you're reading the same text.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			So
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			is a summary of Kitab luma of Saydna
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			Abi Ishaq Asharazi
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			written to introduce
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:11
			this important
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			subject to us.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			And I hope inshallah this helps you kind
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			of understand where things are. And as we
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			begin this wonderful journey together, we ask
