			If
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			you were to look at the,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			the number of what we call a,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			the handwritten
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			books that form the Islamic academic tradition.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			The most prevalent handwritten book, of course,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			in the Muslim world is what?
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			The Quran.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			The second,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			The second most predominant book. And here we
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			can appreciate how Sunnis we forgot who we
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:52
			are.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Sunnis were like looking in the water, we
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			see a pig, we're lions.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Most Sunnis today won't even know what is
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			the book.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			How could that happen?
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			Imam Al Kostalani, one of the great scholars,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			he said, I traveled the Muslim world,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			and I did not find a home,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			except in that home was a copy of
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			the Quran,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			And next to
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			it,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			As the second most popular book written,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			more than 100 more than 1,500,000
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			Mahtota
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			of Dalail Al Khairat.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			It's translated
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			in English.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			So,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			he was murdered. He was poisoned. He was
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			63 years old.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Because the leaders at that time were jealous
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			of him,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			and said the last gathering
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			of upon the prophet
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			before he was murdered was 1200 people.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			And his family to this day, if you're
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			from Morocco, and you go to Marrakesh,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			and you go to his masjid, they still
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			gather to read.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			And they'll give you an Ijazah back to
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			him.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			And Masjid Sadin Nafisa every morning.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			They call it.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			You find a gathering people
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			reading that book. In the masjid city abbas.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:51
			Masjid
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			Al Rifai next
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			to Sultan Hassan every Friday.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			The 3rd most popular book or the 3rd
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			most
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			handwritten
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			book is Re'alsaleh.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			So Alhamdulillah.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			This is the Ummah.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			The love of the Quran,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			the love of Sayedal Aqwan,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			the love of the Quran,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			the love of the prophet and
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:22
			then
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			working constantly to be better people
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			by studying both.
