rabine HeMan as he odo Houma tada sebelah Whoville Buhari Sahaba Sonic Allahu la v. In the previous
segment we explored verse number 60, which provided some introductory comments regarding this
amazing sacred journey of knowledge, which say the na musala is Salatu was Salam had undertaken in
the quest of knowledge to meet this learner, a knowledgeable and erudite individual, which according
to the Hadith is Javier alayhi salatu was Salam. Of course, he was accompanied by his servant and
helper, you shall be known alayhis salam, some narration suggests that that was his maternal nephew
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:55
			as well maternal nephew. But this is not absolutely established. And authentic. However, it does
appear in some historical narrations. There's yet another etiquette that I wanted to convey, which
we touched on the different advocates, and one is, and that is rather musala in salatu wa sallam
told his servant, that I will continue walking until I come to the confluence of the two oceans, or
I will walk for a lengthy period of time. So from this, there is a hint in the verse of the Quran,
that it is good mannerism and respect that the senior informs the junior
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:43
			of of the intended journey, and the destination and the location. So that be the helper or the
servant, or the assistant that is coming. He or she also has an idea of what the journey entails.
Sometimes some people would just in arrogance, say listen, tell the helper up into the car. We're
going where are we going? So don't ask me questions. Don't ask me questions. Just hopping regarding
and when we hold will hold and when will resume will resume. So like listen, you don't need to know
and I don't need to tell you know Subhanallah I don't know Are you listening to me my brother and my
sister and your understanding how they is deduction from every expression, and every indication and
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:32
			every hint, you know from from the verse of the Quran. So mousseline Salam was quite clear, emphatic
and explicit. La Bella Whoa. La abraha Abu Varma Jamal, Bahrain, I will continue walking I will
continue walking until I reach the confluence of the two oceans or I will walk beyond so etiquettes
respect dignity. The famous Hadith in Bukhari right in the beginning, luckily to about Darwin beer
rabada, that I met a Buddha, Buddha rhodiola at a place called rabada wa Allahu Allah, Allah, Allah
May Allah and His servant and his slave was clad and attired with the same clothing like a Buddha,
Ravi, Allah No, there was nothing to distinguish the two.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:16
			So as the Buddha or the olana, like what is this Generally, people would want there must be a mark
of difference in everything. I eat different food, my help I eat different food and that's not the
teachings of Islam. Call your helper in the house, my brother, call your helper in the house, my
sister, let them eat with you from the food dish out from the same port from which you are eating.
Let them eat together, include them in your meals, give them the same cutlery, provide them with the
same food, and then you see how they will be attracted to Islam. Was it not samama who was tied up
to the pillar of mustard and above? He said, Allahu Allahu wa sallam, and then the messenger
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:59
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said also Mama, what do you have to say? And he said, the intellectual
capital that I mean, we're in Tony Vinton, Ramallah, Shakira, if you kill me, oh Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, then my blood will be avenged, and people will take revenge for my killing. we're
interviewing Tony Ramallah shackled, and if you forgive me, and you display kindness to me, then
surely I will reciprocate that with gratitude. And he sallallahu wasallam released him and then he
went close by by a well and he took a bath, a ritual hosel and then he returned and he said three
days ago, I despise you the most and by Allah I love you the most
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:16
			Bala Fabiola Inzaghi Maha COVID-19 Rahim Allah had made mention of this incident, that he came with
the intention of assassinating the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and insular lies and
placed his hand on the chest of Ebola. And he said, Oh, Fabiola, what are you thinking about? And he
said nothing much.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:06:04
			And Fabiola subsequently becomes a companion. And he says that whenever he saw some put his hand on
my chest, immediately that resentment was transformed into love and affection. And then he goes back
and he meets up with a woman with whom he had an enlisted relationship. And she said, Hello, my Isla
de papel Tula. aluma el Hadeeth. If Apple doula ban render you can learn who will Islam lower at
Mohammed than that. Now I will not participate in any of these type of unlawful enlisted
relationships. I have accepted the truth and you need to see Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and you will realize who he was, and you will also be impressed by him. Martha had been a marathon
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:49
			runner We are the alone and who he had a relation with a woman by the name of Anna, a woman with a
by the name of Anna. Then he accepted Islam and after Islam, she invited him come You know what,
just old memories nostalgia. They had a feeling an inclination, a fantasy, a crush, infatuation over
each other pre Islam he then accepted Islam and then she invited him and he said no, no, I cannot I
have accepted Islam. The transformation in life was just phenomenal the transformation and then she
said Okay, can we get married and then the verses were revealed while I then gave her a karate hi Do
you mean well i'm i mean i don't know how your own Mimosa ricotta idea but come and do not wait the
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:35
			policy years and the disbelievers until they bring a man what am i mean i don't believe in woman is
better than a does believe in, even if the latter attracts you in her beauty. The point I was saying
was character. So I met a Buddha rhodiola when I knew and I asked him I said like what's the matter
abuser you are clad and you're your servant in the same clothing. He said I used to be on me. I used
to be on me. I had taunted him about his month. And in the footnotes of Buhari with reference to
kermani. It's written there the kind of remarks that a Buddha the Allahu anhu had passed regarding
his servant, which was of course unintentional. And you know, it was a lapse on his point a slip on
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			his point, and he said things
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:24
			that were obviously offensive to the servant and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then
reproached him, the messenger sallallahu Sallam then admonished him about that rain in a camera on
Faker Jai helia, about the rain in the camera on FECA helia, our Buddha, Buddha, I get the stench of
ignorance and it had like a racial angle to it. Oh Abu Dhabi This is your sir This is your brother.
And if Allah has given you a servant and a helper and a slave, then he is your brother feed him from
the food that you eat and clothe him from the clothing that you wear. What are two can lifou Him and
do not burden him something beyond his task for income left to moon for arena whom if you've given
		
00:08:24 --> 00:09:06
			him something heavy and you know something that's labor intense, then assess him then assist him? So
an advocate when you're talking to your helper, tell them I need you to come here tomorrow please at
eight o'clock. Can you kindly help me in my office? Can you kindly do this favor for me and wash my
car? Can you kindly iron my clothing for me? But not like less than 10 o'clock I need you at the
office and just be there like so why don't ask questions no musante salaam disclosed it Subhan
Allah. Let's move on into this journey. And you will see the beauty and the wisdom and the knowledge
that we need to we will pick up on this amazing journey of Musa and Hadith. So that takes us into
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:13
			verse number 61 and that's the verse I recited valamar bellava majima rabine man as he wrote
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			for DACA Sabina Paris. araba
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			So a quick recap, the hadith of Bokhari who
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:29
			make Tallinn plays a fish in a basket for that fact but the who for whom,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:40
			the place where the fish disappears, that is the location where this servant of mines is who
possesses certain sciences which you don't know.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:59
			And mighty for the Quran, it is written that Allah subhanho wa Taala did not give musalla in Salaam
like a clear cut precise location, right? So the confluence of the two oceans itself can be a an
area that stretches quite widely. If somebody says, You know what
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:47
			Meet me at a particular town or meet me at a mall. Now at the mall, there are a parking Bay, there
are many entrances, there are different areas to the mall, you could be there and you still cannot
find each other for a long time you could be within the precincts and the vicinity and the area, but
you don't have a precise location. And all these things were put in place to impress upon musala,
his salatu salam, the importance of directing and crediting everything to the Almighty. And this is
the journey of knowledge. I often use this incident in the context of explaining the difference of
knowledge versus information, information, google it my brother, just go online, my sister and you
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:56
			will get a whole printout of everything. But knowledge This is Moosa and let me let me take the
opportunity to share this academic discussion as well.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:13
			So Musashi Salaam is an OB, his Hallmark was, he was privileged with communicating and conversing
with Allah, Allah Allah who masataka Lima, he is from the owner has Nambiar the those prophets who
enjoy seniority over other prophets.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:12:01
			He was a great man, the torrent was revealed to him the Torah ranks second after the Quran, in terms
of the Divine scriptures. And regarding her there, there's difference of opinion whether he was an
OB or not, but the preferred opinion of the scholars is that he was a prophet, he was a prophet, and
I'll expound on that, you know, in later episodes as well Allah willing in sha Allah. However, in
terms of that he didn't have followers as a nation, nor was he given a Kitab but he was acquainted
with the secrets of the happenings in the world. And that is there no SRO konia SRO konia, the
secrets of life, death, you know, rain destruction, etc, etc. And between the two sciences between
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:37
			the two sciences are the two types of knowledge. Of course that would say now musala salam had was
far more superior, that gives precedents virtue merit, status and recognition to Musa alayhis
salaam, overcrowded. However, Javier had a particular science that musala salam did not have an
Allah subhanho wa Taala wanted him to discover or come to know about it, so that he doesn't give a
general answer in future in the sense of anybody asking him who is more learned. Then he credits it
and directs it to the Almighty.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:13:16
			So Moosa is more superior alayhis salam, then further, that's like the accepted view without fear of
difference of opinion in this regard. But in this particular science, how they had more knowledge,
and that is what we could refer to as a doozy for Lila, you know, what a preference or an angle or a
science or a knowledge or a know how, on a particular thing on a particular thing. And this could
apply even with the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said Allah Lucien praised use of
alayhis salam. And he said that when the king's envoy came to ask the interpretation of the dream,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:58
			use of alayhis salam just responded and obliged. And subsequently when the king came to call him and
said, You know what, it's time for your release. He said, No, wait, I need clarity, I need the
matter to be cleared out that I'm innocent. And he sallallahu Sallam praised the use of by saying
low libido, for Sidney Mallaby, the use of a jab to dairy. If I had to be in the prison for so long.
And then an envoy came to call me I would have obliged and responded, but I pay tribute to my
brother use of that he wanted the matter to be cleared out. Again, the scholar says this doesn't
make sense. Now use of alayhis salam grater in rang. Yes, in a particular instance, you know, this
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:06
			is given recognition to the greatness of the accomplishment or the feet or the nobility of use of
alayhi salatu was Salam.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:50
			So they were told to take a fish, put it in the basket, and when you come to the place, the fish
will hop out, miraculously, Allah will give it life. Now, there's two, there's two opinions, was
this the same provision from which they were eating? Or was the provision separate, and the food
that they were eating, you know, was separate. And, and and the fish which was assigned Wait, we'll
hop out was a different fish. So ignore it as opinion is now it was one and the same fish which was
grilled, they were eating off this grilled fish as provision and at the point that it hopped out.
This was a miracle. And of course, Allah gave it life and Allah has absolute power. So when it comes
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:57
			to the powers of Allah, then there is no question and this is a prophet, and what's a prophet?
miracles happen all the time.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			So
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:18
			They live they have their basket they have this fish inside. They eat in of it according to the
opinion of ignore it. Yeah and others say the food for travel was separate and this fish was also
worth because this is the reference in the Quran and in the Hadith. And also in biannual Quran, it
is written
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:27
			that de la jolla and Hamlet Azad Allah and the hamlet xad la unifi. I will come on
		
00:15:29 --> 00:16:15
			that to take provisions with you does not contradict the station of nobility. So Musa alayhis salam
was the friend of Allah was the Prophet of Allah Lucia even anoon Some say he was a prophet already
other say he became a prophet subsequently. But in this context, he was the, you know what assistant
to Musa alayhis Salatu was Salam. They took food and provisions which means that take in food
provisions, you know what precautions is not against our call and reliance on Allah. They took food
you need to have food and eat of course you rely on Allah subhanho wa Taala. But at the same time,
you can take your provisions with you. So they come to a place at the confluence and there was a
		
00:16:15 --> 00:17:07
			boulder as the Quran says, Saqqara and they retire to bed, you know, just having a break and
relaxing and breaking the journey down valamar Bella majima urbini Hema when they both reach the
confluence of the two oceans, Musa alayhis salam went to sleep by a boulder. And during this period,
the fish hopped out the fish hopped out fat sebelah who fell by Hurry, Sarah bow, and it kind of
tunnel the itself sort of Tunnel Tunnel itself into the water. And the current of water, you know,
kind of stopped momentarily. And it was it was just strange. It was just unique. It was an absolute
miracle. The fish hopped out from the basket tunnel its way into the water, usually evening noon,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:21
			observe this, observe this and he said when Musa alayhis salam gets up, I will alert him because he
had told me that, you know, I you need to keep watch at the point where the fish hops out
		
00:17:23 --> 00:18:07
			according to an aeration interfere with money that I had come across. When Musa alayhis salam had
tasked you shall have known what this year that please you know, be careful, be vigilant, be
watchful, be conscious be particular about this fish. Is that okay? That's fine. That's fine. No
worries. And he did not give it too much of prominence and significance and importance. Like this is
not something I can slip out about this is mentioning consider Earth money. And yet again was a
lesson from the almighty to them. And to us that when we've been assigned a task by someone senior,
make a mental note of it diarize eight write it down. In fact, this is what I do. Whenever my
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:52
			honorable dad or my venerable mom tells me something immediately I make a note. I repeat it kind of
psychologically register it. And then I make an instant prayer to Allah, Allah give me the ability
to remember the stars and and diligently executed. So my mum might tell me something today and I'm
like, Yeah, okay, that's fine. And then I walk out, and then the phone rings and 10 things happen,
and I'm overwhelmed. And the next day comes, and my mom asks me and I'm like, Oh, my word, and how
often don't we slip up. So when we've been assigned a task by someone, anyone for that matter more
so when it is a senior, a teacher, a scholar, a parent, etc, then we need to give it a lot of care
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			and diligence.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:42
			So when mousseline Salam got up, usually evening noon forgot completely. Now this might create
another question mark, is that a dead fish hopping out of the basket, channeling its way into the
water is a miracle. And something so strange, unique and peculiar, is something that will live with
you forever, leave alone forgetting it for the moment. That's what you and I would think, right?
It's it's something Wow, I'll never forget that moment. I will never, ever forget that moment. And
we all might have experiences in our life, where we prayed to Allah and a prayer was answered
immediately. And that feeling and that ecstasy and the joy and that spirituality and you say you
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:59
			know it lives with me forever. So how was it then possible to reconcile forgetfulness over something
so unique and amazing? The scholars have answered this in one of two ways a, that you shall even
unknown was what to Moosa, and in the company of a profit
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:08
			Miracles happen all the time. So it's not like an isolated miracle that happened only today,
miracles were happening all the time.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:20
			So for us, I mean a * observing of miracles was a common occurrence. And the second thing is
probably he was so overwhelmed by related, you know what travel,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:42
			thoughts, family, journey, uncertainty, etc. And these things happen in journey. When you travel,
you can be so caught up and sometimes, you know, you actually lose your focus for the moment, bead
as it may. The reality is that when satana Musa alayhis salam got up mercy
		
00:20:44 --> 00:21:00
			for the height that sebelah who feel very sorry about that, they forgot their fish. And the fish had
tunneled its way in and they decided to resume their journey, whereas this was the location.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:07
			And that takes us into verse number 62. Fela majha was anti la la vida, de
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			la de la Tina
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:58
			safaree na than alpha fella majha was when they proceeded further. And the narration suggests they
travel for a full day and a night they were just traveling. And again, this is mentioned in
merryfield. On that, look at the circumstances that are unfolded, it wasn't a precise location. It
wasn't a clear cut x exclusively spelled out. It's the confluence it's official hopping out. So
there is an element of ambiguity uncertainty vagueness to it. And then, you know, however you look
at it, but the reality is the fish slipped out and they forgot, and the journey went on. So there
was so many related challenges, turns and twists in this. What's the message my brother and my
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:05
			sister that in the journey of knowledge, you got to end do and that's how sacred knowledge comes.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:45
			You cannot substitute the acquisition of knowledge by the transmission of information. It's great.
It's great to transmit information but knowledge is knowledge. What they say some of us gargle at
the fountain of knowledge while others drink some of us gargle at the fountain of knowledge and
others drink some of us would just said casually lesson here and there. Nothing serious not
committed not dedicated. Harajuku min sages Stan Binney at the parlor behind me or my dad does a
watch those sakata Ronnie hurdle isn't what Ruthie rapala been
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:55
			up about NASA said z. Right, he left CG Stan in the quest of knowledge, he was a scholar in the
fourth century.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:39
			If I recall correctly, I read the sins of Adam and Sabrina Anima Alessia de la L. And then he was
studying and studying. And then one day a woman came knocking on the door because she was heard a
lot about his knowledge, and she offered money and he declined. And she said, I want to marry you,
please, I want I will pay you I want to marry you. And my aim is so that I can draw knowledge from
you. And obviously you're a male and a female. So we can enter into a halaal union and I can benefit
from your knowledge. And he said, I have come here with the exclusive motive of learning knowledge.
And I do not want to dilute my motive in any way. These were people who are out for the acquisition
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:43
			of knowledge, in its true form, shape and size.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:50
			So what happened, fella magia was anti allele for da da da da da.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:24:14
			And when they dress, you know when they proceeded further musala salam said leafa da vo to his young
man. I do not Radha Anna, can you bring us the breakfast? The da would refer to the meal eaten prior
to midday prior to noon. Tina vada Anna Lucha de la Tina means suffering
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:49
			about and this is of course, verse number 62. That we've experienced a lot of tiredness and fatigue
in this journey. When mosa alayhis salam asked the user for the food. Oh, that's the time he
realized you know what the fish hopped out and that was the opinion of ignore it or that it was the
same thing they were eating from, which then also hopped into the water. This is the opinion of
ignore it or rahimullah. He said
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:59
			Arjuna Radha Anna, give us our breakfast laughter the Latina mean safaree na na Saba indeed. We
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			have experienced fatigue and again in biannual pooran. It is written
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:54
			that the law and if the hallmark of that law and Eva har almara oneness of law unify will come out
that you say, Oh, I am tired, I am exhausted doesn't go against the station of nobility and piety.
You know, sometimes people and this is why we need guidance from Quran it's it's it's it's a hot
day. It's a long day you are fasting. I'm feeling weak. are you complaining? No, I'm not
complaining. I'm not complaining. I am feeling weak. And I said I'm feeling weak. That's fine.
That's fine. There isn't a problem with this year. Robbie Annie masani adore or Antara hamura I
mean, just 23 chapter 38 the words of a ubering salaam oh my lord, I've been afflicted with
		
00:25:54 --> 00:26:42
			difficulty and you are the most guide. He didn't question a lie. He didn't challenge a lie. He
didn't oppose a lot. He he confessed that Oh Allah I am feeling sick. I am unwell and you are the
most guide. So della Allah and Mahal Mara the oneness of Allah, you now feel compelled to say I'm
feeling thirsty, I'm feeling hot, or I'm feeling weak without moaning or groaning or complaining,
but merely as an expression of the reality. I'm feeling very tired today. I'm feeling very tired
today. Now you now feel Come on. It does not go against the station of nobility. And I think it is
so imperative that we understand our faith in its holistic way. And the answers are in the Quran,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:50
			when no one's been mocked at alayhi salatu was Salam is that Indus Harumi naffaa enascar Roman Come
come at us, Harun
		
00:26:51 --> 00:27:41
			if you're looking at us today, one day we will also look at you as you are laughing at us. della
anelli, Java Bell methyl la unifi Macquarie mela club sometimes to reply and retort in a like manner
provided of course it is not sinful words or abusive language does not go against the station of
noble character. They mock that new hiring ceremony said if you mock in We will also mock at you. So
it is not against mirkarimi a flag to also reply in a certain way. After all, we are humans and we
have emotions. Okay, so that takes us to verse number 63 pa ri into is a ye na ala sobre for in se
to load you shall Edna noon said
		
00:27:42 --> 00:28:14
			you know what? Did I not tell you our editor at the time when we took shelter and we lasted Illa
Sakura, by the boulder? For in Nina see to hold ups Oh my word. You know what I forgot the fish,
warm and sunny who Illa shaitan and nun made me forget but the devil Of course in every slip in
every mistake, there is some influence of the devil. And here again the scholars right
		
00:28:15 --> 00:29:05
			that an era shaped on the interference of devil cannot occur to a profit in the context of that
situation which results in a sin but which is mostly in your academic language right which results
in a sin like how the devil interferes as you know what the devil indoctrinated whispered he made me
in anger blood does. He made me in my rage due this year or He took me to this place where he made
me he kind of you know, incited me to commit this crime. This is impossible to occur to a newbie
Impossible Impossible, because the Navy is protected by a lot, but to the extent of forgetfulness,
or to to, you know what slip up on something, this is possible because this doesn't go against the
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:45
			station of Naboo. Just like if a disbeliever takes a stone and he holds it at a profit. It will
inflict injury on a profit as much as is protected by Allah because he's a human and immortal and it
will cause him some pain and injury like it had happened to the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam
Allahumma Finley told me for whom Allah Allah, that Allah forgive my nation, they don't know the
pain they are causing to me. So and nobody is divinely protected by the almighty from devilish
influence indoctrination that can result in any form of sunvisor transgression, but common things
that happen to humans in slip up forgetfulness, oversleeping, etc, which doesn't have any religious
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:59
			bearing or doesn't go against the the station of Nebo what can can happen to a profit as well, for
Nina Seaton road warmer and sunny who and that is on the academic argument if you are able to know
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:44
			was a profit already if it was a profit already in Nina sit on hold I forgot the fish warmer and
sunny who in the shade on the devil made me forget it? What the hotter Sabina who feel Bahia Java
and I must tell you that it had tunneled its way into the ocean in a very marvelous way. Okay we
leave it at this point, the journey of knowledge is still continuing, we picking up so many lessons
May Allah make us amongst those people who don't only goggle at the fountain of knowledge, but who

Allahumma salli ala nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi adjumani well hamdulillahi Rabbil
