Are we the bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman Rahim

lesson number 154 sorbitol Kev iron number 6282.

Now inshallah we will learn about the story of Lusardi salah,

which takes us to the third test that many experience in their life. And what is that?

That test of knowledge

obey even Carl, he narrated

that the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he said that Musa Salam got up once to deliver a speech before the children of Israel. So one day Masada sang got up and he was addressing the Bani Israel. And he was asked by one of the many Israel that who is the most learned person amongst the people, who is the most knowledgeable one amongst people on the earth? Was that listen and replied, I am. Why did he say that?

Because he really thought that he was the most knowledgeable. Why? Because he was the prophet of Allah. He was given prophethood,

the messenger would come to him with the angel would come to him and deliver him some news, which was not given to every other person. So it wasn't that he was assuming arrogance. It wasn't that he was being very proud of himself. It was really because he thought himself to be the most knowledgeable amongst the people of the earth. But Allah subhanaw taala rebuked him, because he did not refer the knowledge to Allah. He didn't say, Allahu Allah, Allah knows better. But rather he said, I am.

Because remember that, well, folk are Coulier Illman, I leave above every knowledgeable person is one who knows more.

So even if a person is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to religion, it's possible that there is another person who knows more than him when it comes to some other science.

Now, he is not greater than Him in knowledge, he may be greater in one aspect, but not in every aspect. So Allah did not like this, that he said, I am the most knowledgeable. Instead, he should have said Allah Harlem. So what happened? Allah subhanaw taala revealed to him that at the junction of the two seas, the place where the two seas meet, there is a servant of ours who is more learned than you. He has more knowledge than you. So most artists Anam he asked, Oh my Lord, how can I meet him? What does that show?

Musa salaams desire to learn to know more? Immediately, he said, How can I meet him? He didn't say how does he know more? I'm supposed to be the Prophet. Is he also a prophet? No. He said, How can I meet him? Allah subhanaw taala said, Take a fish and put it in a vessel and then set out and where you lose the fish, you will find him the place where you lose the fish. That is the place where you will find the servant of ours. So Musa salaam he took a fish he put it in a vessel and he said out and he left along with his boy servant you Sure? Ibnu

now this hadith continues inshallah we'll mention parts of it to you as we move along as we go along the story. But right now this merge is sufficient. So we see that Masada Salam, he left his people in order to go meet Hadith in order to know that who is this person who is more knowledgeable than me?

And why did he want to know more about him? Because he wanted to learn from him. And out of his desire to learn more, he set out on this journey. And when he set out on this journey, he said, what is called Musa leafcutter, who and when Musa al salaam said to His servant, what did he say? Let a Buddha who I will not cease traveling, I'm not going to stop this journey of mine had the Oberliga merge model Bahraini until I reached the junction of the two seas. Oh, I'm Lea Hakuba or I continue for a long period of time

is Allah Musa when Musa Salam said, he said to leave atta who? Who is a father? As you know the father is a young man, a youth and the word is also used for a servant. Why? Because best servants are those who are young in their age. And in particular, Fattah is used for someone who is in their late teens, and it is said that the word Fattah can be used up until the person is 25 years of age and according to others until even 30 years of age, because until then, he is still young. He is still youthful.

After 30 then a person becomes older.

So what you call a Musa li Fatah who now who is his Fatah of Musa al salaam, this was you shall even noon, and he was of the descendants of use of Isola.

And you shall even noon he used to follow Him meaning he was his follower, obviously he was a believer. And he was also a servant of musasa that he used to serve Musa Sinha.

Generally, we think that somebody would serve another when they have been employed as a servant. When they're given a wage, they're poor, they cannot afford themselves. So the only work that they can find is serving someone and by serving them, they make some money. However, this concept is something that is new. Because before and in fact, even today, there are people who serve others, not just to get some material benefits in return, but they serve others because of their superiority above them.

In order to show gratitude for what they have done, so we see that you shall be known. He was a believer in Musa Salam, and he served him why? Because Musa alayhis salam was not only a messenger, but he was also his teacher.

So you share a balloon was also his student, and this is why he used to serve Him.

And because of the fact that he used to serve Musar listener, he had the privilege of traveling with musasa. He had the privilege of being in the company of Musa Sinha, notice. Musa al Hassan did not take the entire Bani Israel with him on this trip. Nor did he take some other people who did he take with him. His father, you shall be known why? Because he was his student, he was his follower, and he also used to serve.

So when you serve someone, you have the opportunity to spend more time with them. And especially if it's someone who is more knowledgeable, if it's the Imam, the chef, then you have the opportunity to learn much more. So what is called a Musa limiter, who, what did he say to him? That Allah Allah who I'm not going to cease, I'm not going to stop obrah who is from the root letters belt or ha. And Benny Hill is to move from a place it has to leave to depart. But it held McCann elemental McCann, it has to leave a place and from this the word but it is also used for stopping something to stop doing something to cease. When a person leaves a place, he stops living over there, he ceases to

remain over there.

And when the word is preceded by led by a negative then what does it mean? That I will always do this, I will continue to do this. I will do this endlessly. I will never stop. So he says lebrato I will not cease, I will continue to go meaning I will not stop this journey of mine

hetta until a beluga I reach Majima Albert Rainey, the junction of the two C's. Merge mark is from the root letters G minor and jammer is to gather and merge mark is the place of gathering it's the place of union.

So merge Mal, Bahraini, the place where the two seas meet the junction of the two seas. Now what are these two seas? It is said that it refers to the battle and the Battle of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

And why did he say I will not stop my journey until I reach that destination. Because that was the place where they were to meet. Hold it.

Oh or I'm Lea I will continue. I will continue. I will proceed. I will continue my journey Hakuba and for a long period. Meaning either want to make sure that I get to my destination and find my teacher. And if I'm not going to find then I'm not going to stop I'm going to continue my journey. I will do whatever it takes to get to my destination to meet this teacher of mine. Even if it means I have to spend many many years in traveling

the word unbelievers from the root letters mean Badia medulla Yummly, which means to continue and from the same root as the word mild mildly which is past tense because whatever has happened has continued into the past and how common is the plural of Hakuba hook button and hook there is a long period of time. It is said that helper is used for a very long period of time that is

unspecified like it's not exactly 50 years, it's not exactly 75 years. It's an unspecified period of time, but it is extremely long.

Some say it is 70 or 80 years, and others say even longer a century. So look at Musa this and I'm what does he say, I am not going to stop until I reach the junction of the two seas. And if I don't get there, I'm going to still continue to travel. Even if it takes hundreds of years for me, I am going to continue my journey, I'm not going to stop until I meet Khalid, so that I can learn from him.

Now we learn from this idea, many lessons, many, many lessons about the etiquette of seeking knowledge. And what are they

that first of all, first of all, the desire and the yearning to learn. Even if a person knows

the desire to learn more, to increase in one's knowledge, even if a person knows a lot already,

this desire must be a burning desire in the heart of a student of knowledge. Because the moment he thinks that I know enough, I don't need to learn anymore. That's it, it's going to stop his journey, he's not going to continue anymore.

A person must have this desire, that no matter how much he has learned, he must realize that he is still ignorant of many things. And he still needs to learn more. We see that Musa Sinha was a prophet of Allah.

And when he was informed that they were someone who knows more than him, he didn't say, okay, he has his knowledge, I have my knowledge good. No, he said, I want to know, I want to learn more. Similarly, we see that Musa al salaam was a leader, he had a very important responsibility on his head, he must have been an extremely busy man. Because imagine the kind of people that bunny is right you were, he was someone very busy. But still, we see that he made time in order to learn more.

He could have said, you know, I'm a prophet, I'm busy here, Allah, why don't you send it over here so that I can learn from him? No, he said, I'm going to go. So first of all, we see what the desire to continue learning, even if a person knows.

And until a person has this desire, he is going to continue to learn more. And the moment he does not have the desire anymore, even if the opportunities are right before Him, He will not be able to learn, he will not be able to continue in his learning.

And, as I mentioned to you earlier, the statement of even was truthful, the Darren who remember what he said about the Quran, that there is no I have the book of Allah except that I know where it was revealed, concerning who and what time whether it was revealed at night, or during the day when the Prophet was traveling or at home. And if I know that somebody knows more than me, I would go to him.

He knew so much, but still he had the desire to learn more.

And we must also have the desire that even if we have studied the Quran,

even if we know the translation, there should be more desire to learn that of seed, to learn the lwml Quran, to learn more about the Quran, to learn about Hadith, there are so many things to learn so many things. It's like it's unlimited amount of knowledge out there.

Secondly, we also learn about the importance of a regular filter I've been

traveling in order to seek knowledge. As mentioned earlier, Musar listened and did not say, how there should be sent to me,

that another book should be given to me, containing the knowledge that Qadr was given.

But what did he do? He traveled in order to go and meet COVID.

And we see that even the companions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam who had studied under the Prophet sallallahu even they would travel for months sometimes, in order to learn only about one more Hadith one more nourishment. And we see that the Mohammed the thing, those who collected the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, they traveled extensively, in order to acquire knowledge in order to authentic it, whatever they had learned, whatever they had memorized. And this is why we have books and books with regards to a regular futala bill, that how the people of the past they used to travel so much in order to learn knowledge, so if a person is doing the same thing that he

has had to leave his home, he has had to leave his house and he has had to go to another country to another city, living in somebody else's house. Instead of pitting himself. What should he think I am doing? What Musa Listen, I am following his son, I'm fine

During the Sunnah of the righteous, and this is one of the baths to acquiring more knowledge. Thirdly, we also learn about determination

that the student of knowledge must not give up.

He must never give up. Look at the determination of who saw this, and I'm what does he say, I'm not going to stop until I get there. Even if it takes centuries, he is so determined. So do not give up until you have found. Do not give up until you have learned until you have discovered until you have mastered. Because sometimes what happens, we start something, we find it a bit difficult. We're like, you know, it's okay. Forget about it.

Maybe I'll do it some other time. It's getting too difficult for me. No, Musa al Islam is so determined. He says, Oh, I'm Lea, Huckleberry, even if it takes hundreds of years, I will go. So complete the journey of knowledge.

Even if it is a year and a half. Don't leave before that.

Complete the whole schedule the entire day, even if it is from nine to three, don't leave five minutes early. Don't leave 10 minutes early, don't leave an hour early.

Be determined, once you have started, complete what you have started, have some courage.

Then we also learn that a person was never tire of the length of the journey of knowledge. He must never tire of the length of the journey of knowledge that sometimes it may take years in order to do something that for example, if you want to memorize some part of the Quran, you start memorization, you have very high hopes, you know, you calculate in your head, each term will memorize one page, half a page. And within some time, within a year, I would have the entire Quran memorized. That's your goal. But once you start, you realize, oh, it's going to take me much longer than that. And you're like, Okay, forget about it. No, don't leave it. never tire of the length of the journey.

It's possible, sometimes you open up your grammar book, and you want to do the exercise, you start. And you look at the time, you've been sitting there for 20 minutes, with only two words that you have done. Don't give up over there, it's only 20 minutes. It's not hundreds of years was Allison and said I'll only or Hakuba I will spend centuries, but I will not stop. So therefore never tire of the length of the journey of knowledge.

Also, a very important lesson that we learned from here is that you share it with noon he was accompany his teacher Musa Sinha. And this shows that a student can accompany his teacher in order to serve Him in order to learn from him. And in fact, he should, because in the company of the teacher, there is much to learn.

When the relationship is only limited to the classroom, then what happens? There is only what the teacher has said. And that's it.

But in casual conversation, in questions and answers, one on one discussion, a person ends up learning much more, he ends up clarifying many more things. So the relationship between the student and teacher should be beyond the lecture as well beyond the classroom as well. So whenever you have a question, whenever you have something that you don't fully understand, always come in as don't just say, Oh, it wasn't mentioned in the class or forgot about it. No, always come in as there's so many people who stand here, and they're just listening to the conversations that are going on. I asked them Do you have a question? They say, No, I don't have a question. I'm just listening.

Because this is very true. When you're in the company of people who are discussing something, then you end up learning a lot.

So make sure that you stay in the company of such people as well.

Now the Hadith it continues that Masada sunnah, he took a fish. As I mentioned you he put it in the vessel and he said out along with his voice evolutionary balloon until they reached a rock on which they both lay down their heads and they slept, because obviously they had been traveling for so long. So they got to a particular point where they took some rest. So the fish it moved vigorously in the vessel. And it got out of it and it fell into the sea. And when it fell into the sea, it took its way through the sea straight As in a tunnel.

As it got into the sea. What happened it began swimming. And as it was swimming, it made its way in a form of a tunnel. How was that possible? The Prophet sallallahu sallam said Allah stop the flow of water on both sides of the way created by the fish. And so that way, was like a tunnel. Now you show him a noon he saw all of this because he was awake.

So when Musa sang got up, you shot he forgot to tell him about the fish. And so they carried on their journey during the rest of the day and the whole night.

traveled one more day and one more night. And the next morning mozarella Salam said to his boy servant bring us our morning meal. Truly we have suffered much fatigue in this our journey

without us and um did not get tired till he had passed that place that Allah had ordered him to look for. Now his servant, He said to him, then, do you remember when we took rest at that rock? I forgot the fish over there.

I forgot to mention a deed, and none but shaytaan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a strange way. And there was a tunnel for the fish and Musa al Salaam and his voice servants were made. So Musa alayhis salam said that is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps.

So Allah subhanaw taala says phylum bellava Then when both of them reached Musa and his Fatah at what destination Majima Albania Hema, the junction of the two C's when they reach that point? NESEA Jota Houma they forgot their fish. Who Musa and you sure both of them, they forgot the fish. But we see that what happened actually, Musa al salaam was sleeping unusual, he saw the fish going away. But because Musa was sleeping he didn't wake him up at that time. And later on you sharp forgot, but it has been set Nursia both of them forgot why both

because when two or more people are in the same state when they are involved in doing something together. Even if one person does something, the action is attributed to all of them.

And this is a reason why we have learned in the Quran with regards to the Bani Israel, that those Bani Israel at the time of the Prophet salallahu Salam they weren't the ones who demanded certain things for Musa Sinha. But what was said, What is pulled them when you said whereas in reality who said that? It was their forefathers, but the bunny is right at the time of the Prophet sort of artisan and they were told that you said why? Because they belong to the same group. They were their descendants.

So NASA Hoda woman, and this forgetfulness was not that they left their fish over there and they forgot it but it was that they forgot to check on it was artisan forgot to check on the fish that did it leave or not? And you shot he forgot to tell musasa as to what exactly happened.

And this fish as you know was a sign for Musa al salaam that when the fish leaves that is where they will find how the

Fatah Hadassah Vela who so it took its course filled by hurry in the sea, the fish it took its course into the sea Sahaba slipping away in a tunnel. Setup isn't the router seen while but we have done the word Sadie. Sadie boom been the hub. And setup is basically used for a tunnel. But what kind of a tunnel that only has one month.

Remember, for network network, that is a tunnel that has too much to it. But this is a town that has only one month you enter into it. And in order to live you have to go backwards you can't go forward.

And the word is also used for the tunnel, the whole of a snake for example. It is said interrogative HYAH to Elijah Khalifa, the snake it went down at all. It went into its hole. So if a taco has a bill over his elbow, what does it mean by this, that the fish it swam through the water during it up. And as the fish was swimming, what happened?

As it slipped away, the water did not fill up the space behind it. The understand

as it swam through the water, the water did not fill up the space that it was leaving behind it.

You can imagine like when a hole is made into a wall. When you're drilling a hole into a wall, what happens as you push the drill forward, the hole is made and nothing fills the gap behind it.

Similarly, as the fish swam through the water, the water did not fill up the space behind it. So this way, there was a tunnel.

Now this fish was of the signs of a loss of strength.

How was it assigned? That first of all, as it swam, it swam in a very amazing way making a tunnel whereas generally this does not happen.

And secondly, it is also said that this fish was actually dead.

And Musa Islam and his boy servant you shot both of them they would eat of this fish.

They would eat of it. It was their food as well. But it was one of the you can say miracles. Or one of the big signs that when Musar Islam reached a particular destination, the fish came to life and it jumped out of the bag

Get out of the vessel out of the basket, whatever the container it was, and it swam away into the water.

Now, as I mentioned to you, you shot he saw this because he was awake and most artists and I was sleeping. What do we learn?

That you share? He did not wake Masada Salon at that time. Imagine you see something like that. And you have been told that this is what we're waiting for. As soon as this happens, we have reached our destination. You start Look at him. He's so calm. He's so respectful. He doesn't get overexcited and say, who's gonna wake up, wake up? See the fish going? You're gonna miss it. No, he doesn't say anything like that.

Especially if it was dead, and it comes to life and it jumps out of the vessel and enters into the water and swims away in a very strange way. Nobody would remain silent at that time. Now we see why Musa listen, I'm selected him

why he gave him that opportunity. Because he had wisdom. He had some sense. He was wise. He was respectful.

Now they forgot the fish. But there is a big lesson that can be learned from it. What?

Think about it Busara Salam was sleeping. And at that time, the fish left, and he missed the fish Nursia he missed the fish. And when he got up, he didn't check the fish. And then they continued the journey for one day and one night. What do we learn from this?

If you look at it, sometimes I'm not saying sleeping is wrong. Musa al salaam he was taking rest, obviously, there was a long journey. But sometimes due to sleep, what happens, we miss out on some very important connections, some very important concepts, which make the rest of the journey very difficult. Because we missed that point, what happened, the rest of the journey became very difficult. Sometimes it happens that we miss one lesson, one lesson only five minutes only. And we have no idea as to what's going on for the next half an hour.

And the mothers, all of them are nodding their heads, because many times they end up missing five minutes, two minutes here because they're attending their baby. And what happens they end up missing that connection. Now they have a genuine reason. For those of us who don't have a genuine reason, we have no excuse for missing the class even for five minutes. Because you never know what you miss may be extremely important. And sometimes it happens that we only give importance to certain subjects and not to other subjects. Whereas the fact is that all of them are connected.

Many times I've seen that people don't pay much attention to recitation class. This is very typical.

Why is it that it takes extremely long for us to memorize our lesson? Why? Because our recitation is not that great.

If we spend time improving our recitation, would that not speed up our learning? Would that not enhance it? Would that not improve it? Of course it would. So we miss out on one thing, one little thing. And it could cause such a loss to us, that we could struggle for so long. And that struggle could be avoided if we had taken advantage of one moment. If we had paid attention to just one thing.

Many times it happens that people who have not memorized the Quran, but because they have read it over and over again. They're so familiar with the Quran that you mentioned only one part of the eye and they can compete the IO for you why? Because they have spent so much time reading the Quran studying the Quran. So this is something that we also need to focus on, don't lose out on anything, because you never know how important it may be.

For la magia was so when they had passed Java from the root letters gene, well, ze gos

and J was a ujo is used to cross a particular point to go beyond a set point. So when they crossed the meeting point, the junction of the two C's where the fish left and where they were supposed to meet Khalid Califa, who Musa alayhis salam said to His servant attina Bring us ohada Anna our morning meal

for that is from the root letters laying down well. And while there is the morning meal, it's the food that is eaten at the time of law that what is over that morning Bill GoDaddy will actually well that this morning right? So there is the food the meal that is taken early in the morning. Now tell me what is the time of Wahdat

between fudges and sunrise between Fudger and sunrise that is a time ago that and that is the time for breakfast.

Okay, that is the time for breakfast. Recently somebody was telling me that they went

into this, you can say like a naturopathic doctor, or king. They went to them for a particular treatment. And he said that I'm not going to treat you until and unless you fix your meals. And he said, not just what you eat, but also the time that you eat. He said, You have to have your breakfast before sunrise. He said, even if it's just one sip of honey, or a few dates, you have to have something at that time. Because what goes in your body at that time, it is most beneficial. And your body needs something desperately at that time, think about you gotta have a budget, you're praying, right? And your mind is whizzing with so many things that you have to do if you don't put

something in your body, how are you going to continue? How are you going to have some energy. So he said, bring us our morning meal. La Casa de la cocina. Certainly we have met men suffering from our journey, Heather, this nasaga, much fatigue.

Now, he says, this journey of ours, what does he mean by this journey, meaning this part of the journey.

And he's referring to the part of the journey, which this started from the junction of the two seas, he's not referring to the entire journey. But the journey that they took after taking a break at the junction of the two seas. So he says this part of the journey, it has been extremely exhausting. We have suffered from a lot of fatigue. So let's stop and take a break, have some food, and then we'll continue. Now this was from the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala. That Musa Listen, I'm not tired at this point. Because Esther Imagine if he didn't get tired, what would happen, he was determined he was going to go on for hundreds of years, he wasn't going to stop. So this is of the gifts of

Allah subhanaw taala, that he made him tired, so that he would stop. There's a hadith insane, in which it is mentioned that Musa alayhis salam did not get tired until he had passed the place that Allah had ordered him to look for.

So until the junction of the duties, the journey was easy.

And after that, it became difficult.

Now, there was a wisdom behind this fatigue. As I mentioned to you that first of all, he was determined to continue. So Allah subhanaw taala made him tired so that he would stop. And he would realize, and then they would return. And in particular, he became hungry. He said at the Nevada Ana, and he asked for food, if he hadn't asked for food, how would they know that the fish was not there with them anymore? How would you start remember,

he would not remember. So this was a gift from Allah.

And we also see that, due to the fatigue, he took a break. And he also asked for food. And Allah subhanaw taala, he helps her serve and sometimes by making them tired,

and sometimes by making them sick. Because if we did not suffer from fatigue, if we did not suffer from exhaustion, if we did not suffer from sickness, then what would happen, we would continue until at one moment we would just collapse and we will not be able to get up.

So if a person ever does become sick, that he's not able to do what he used to do. His head is hurting, he's extremely sleepy, he's not able to continue with his work, then it's a gift from a loss printer. Now it does not mean that if you're just feeling a little bit sleepy Ceci, Allah is blessing me with his gifts, that means I shouldn't be studying. And you tell your group in charge tomorrow that I was tired, and Allah gave me that fatigue? No, we're talking about such exhaustion. After that you cannot continue that Musa Salam, he could not continue his journey, he became extremely hungry.

And we also say that when a person gets exhausted, and when a person gets extremely tired in doing something, then it's possible that it's a sign that perhaps you need to change your strategy. Perhaps you need to change your style a little bit. Because if you're exhausting yourself, to the point that you cannot stay awake anymore to the point that you're falling down, is you have your juice open. What does it mean? You need to change your strategy a little bit, it doesn't mean you need to stop, you need to discontinue what you're doing. You need to do something to bring about a change so that you can be more effective, because it's not natural for a person to be exhausting

himself all the time. Like for example, if you don't take a nap during the day, let's say and you do your work right before going to bed, will you be able to do it? No, you will have your eyes open and your pet will be dropping every few minutes. Now at that moment, instead of thinking that perhaps this is not meant for me, I shouldn't be doing the course. Think about how you can change your routine so that it takes less of a toll on your body and you can also be more effective in your work.

So think of ways to improve your effectiveness. Once you've made up your mind that this is something that I have to do. I don't have a choice with regards to this

then Allah will give you the ability, he will give you the ability, I'll just mention a personal experience with you, just so that you can take a lesson that on Monday when I came, I actually had food poisoning the night before, and I was throwing up in the morning until 10 o'clock. And which is why our sister article to move the class later during the day, and I did not know if I would throw up during the class or what but Alhamdulillah we sat through the entire class, I was sipping on my Gatorade, but at Hamdulillah I was able to do it. So yes, fatigue, exhaustion, tiredness, sickness is a part of life. But once you've made up your mind that you have to do something over a button, or

Allah colluvial, Allah will give you this determination in your heart, that you will be able to do it.

And if you just sit with your sickness, oh my god, I can't do it, I'm so tired, then you will mentally make yourself more sick. So sometimes push yourself a bit more and put an effort inshallah you will be able to do it. However, if it's something that is exhausting you to the point that you cannot do anything, then change your strategy a little bit. Now, for example, instead of taking the whole day off, or instead of showing up at 1030, what did I do? I change the strategy. I said, Can I please do my class later during the day?

So don't miss out on what is important. Don't miss out.

There's a difference between fatigue and you can say the tardiness or laziness. Okay, there's a big difference. That at one point, you can push yourself forward, you can do it. And at other points at other times, you are really exhausted. You can't keep your eyes open. You can't even sit straight.

Then at that point, be merciful on yourself because this religion is easy. Okay,
