Yasir Qadhi – The More One Struggles For Knowledge, The More Blessed It Is

			Luckily, in either mettam and obasan, who fell in love up bill I usually in China, he alone Moodle
kamisha had you to her due
		

			to asthma No.
		

			Perhaps many of you are not aware, but there has been so much effort to catalog and to upload
classical Islamic books so that they're on hard drives are even accessible, you can even download
them for free. And within a few hours, if you really wanted to, you could download no exaggeration
more than 50 60,000 volumes. And it is very easy for the average Muslim, to have a library on his
hard drive that the majority of our own ama did not have. I repeat that because it is a factual
statement. And I speak as somebody who hasn't hammered a good library, and I have seen many good
libraries, the ability to download PDFs, to download obscure books, to download encyclopedias of
		

			Islamic, you know, knowledge, whether it's in language and linguistics, whether it's integral,
whether it is in a field, whether it is in history, whether it is in any discipline, the average
Muslim can download onto his hard drive, fill his hard drive with libraries, PDFs, that is larger
than the average scholar may be even larger than most of them are in all of Islamic history.
		

			And yet, what is the results of our knowledge versus their knowledge? What is the Baraka that we
have versus what they had? And that really brings about a pause in a contemplation. Why is it that
they might have had less access, like, let me give you a simple example, Hadith, right? Books of
Hadith, you can now have on your library, over 200 books of Hadith. Most of these books, even the
advanced scholars might not really be have access to them. 100 years ago, they weren't printed, they
weren't available. But now any printing somebody will PDF, scan it, and it's available online. And
yet, obviously, the burqa that we have is less than that of the classical scholars, why many reasons
		

			can be given. But I'll just give you one simple reality.
		

			what you get for free, you don't appreciate it. And what you have to exert to get you value it.
That's one of the main reasons what you have to struggle to obtain, you will value that and what is
handed to you on a silver platter, what you can download, right click delete or right click download
and just keep on downloading, downloading downloading, how will you value and appreciate that the
way that you might have had to obtain it 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, and one of the most
beautiful examples of our tradition, which actually Emmanuel Buhari mentions in his famous book, the
Slayer, and it's in the chapter heading, the chapter heading of traveling for the sake of knowledge,
		

			and he has in that chapter heading and Java Dibnah, Abdullah traveled for one month to obtain one
Hadith. This is in sahale body. However, emammal Bahati did not tell us which had these and he
didn't tell us the story. Why? Because in its chain, there's somebody that makes this heavy it has
and rather than slay, and the Imam Rouhani said, I want to have only Sahih Hadith. So this is great
B plus. And his book is great a plus, right? It's an authentic hadith, but it didn't reach his
level. So he mentioned it in the chapter heading. And in his other book, which is called the other
but different. He then told us the whole story, he told us the same story he referenced in his Sofia
		

			chapter heading, and he tells us that Java dibner Abdullah, in Medina, he remembered a gathering in
which the profitsystem said something. And he realized that the people in that gathering had all
died. By the way, Java was a young teenager when the processing came to Medina. So he lived a long
life cannot compare to Daniel Vulcan and Roberto de la hora in their 60s, in Medina, Jabba Abdullah,
who was you know, like maybe 19 years old, 17 years old, so he lived much longer than so he lived to
the time of the middle Sahaba, basically after the time of ardila de la one. So he thought of that
gathering, and he goes of that gathering, everybody has died, except one Sahabi His name is Abdullah
		

			bin. Oh, nice. And jogger wasn't sure about the wordings of that Hadith. Now he was present in that
gathering, right? But there is no Sahih Bukhari that he can look
		

			There is no other bit more frog. He is the Sahabi and he's thinking, thinking and he goes, I have to
go and get that Hadith just to make sure of the wording. And so he purchased a camel the narration
goes he didn't have one unit we didn't travel he lived in Medina he was a modern he lived in born
and raised in Medina Ansari. He purchased a camel in order to do this journey. And he traveled one
month to Damascus because that's where the living space was. And he got to the city and there is no
hotel there is no five star in he asked Where is the Lebanon he is told that house knocks on the
door servant comes out says it's time for sleep Just tell him that job is here. So he said was Java
		

			Java Abdullah. Abdullah bin oh nice was sleeping. He comes out and it goes Wallah he I thought every
Java dibny Abdullah in the world other than you What are you doing in Damascus? How were you in
Damascus, they hugged each other they cried everything. And he goes, I have come here he's still in
his clothes of the travel. He has. He's still literally I have come here to hear from you. A Hadith
that no one alive remembers other than me and you they're all gone. The only people alive for me and
you everybody else has gone. Do you remember the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
regarding the Malema on the Day of Judgment regarding if somebody has an accusation against another
		

			somebody owes something to another and that day of judgment, what's going to happen? And I've done a
video and they said yes indeed. The profitsystem said to us and this is the Hadith that is narrated
in bodies edible monferrato. It is narrated in what's the name of Mohammed it is narrated in Al
Hakim and others that are so authentic. I think this is the idea that Buhari references in his
chapter heading. Yes indeed. The Prophet system said to us that Allah subhana wa tada will resurrect
mankind, rotten, naked, and horrorland uncircumcised and bull Ma, and the Sahabi said the arrow
Sula. What does boom mean? They didn't know it's a very obscure word. He said boho means they won't
		

			have any money with them. They're going to be without any no bags, nothing. Nothing. And then Allah
azza wa jal will say an L medical and a de Yan. I am the king and I am the ultimate judge. Nobody
from the people of Jenna shall enter Jenna and someone from the people of * has a claim against
him. Even gender you're not going to get to and the guys are Johanna. me but you did something
wrong. You took his money. You stole you back by Did you heard him? You did something that's boom.
And Allah is saying I am the ultimate King and I am the ultimate judge. No one shall pass through
this day without judgment being final. Even a person of Jana, Lamborghini
		

			Jana, nobody shall from enter. Nobody from the people of Jenna will enter Jana and somebody from
jahannam has one Malema one course in K one court case against him until that is resolved. And vice
versa. Nobody from jahannam shall enter jahannam and he has something against the person of Jenna.
And the Hadith says Allah will speak to mankind with a voice that everybody shall hear. Yes, man or
woman bowed. Can I smell mancora the one who is for shall hear like the one who is near this is
going to be Allah's judgment. This is the beginning of judgment. And the Sahaba said, O Messenger of
Allah, you just said that mankind will be without baggage so they don't have any money. So how then
		

			will cases be settled in the court of Allah? You know, when the cases settle? if somebody gets a
fine, somebody gets a penalty, how will the cases be settled? And our professor said, Bill has NRT
was say, with good and bad deeds. Now, the Hadith itself was worthy of a whole talk, but I want to
go back to my point and then on the cello with this, we conclude I want to go back to my point.
Simple question. How, by the way, Jabba took his camel and returned back to Medina the same day he
didn't he didn't have a place to stay. There is no there's a different time in place. He literally
returned one month, one month, two months journey for one Hadeeth now simple question to all of you.
		

			How much do you think job it rhodiola dadan valued that Hadeeth?
		

			How conscious Do you think job bid was that I better not hurt somebody's feelings. I better not do
any limit to somebody. I better not have any issue that on the Day of Judgment after answer to Allah
for you see, I just narrated this Hi this you can download it and read it a million times so many
books, job or your loved one traveled two months for this one. Hadeeth the impact of that Hadeeth on
his life.
		

			If Me and you, we cannot even imagine it, how conscious he must have been the lifestyle that would
have come from that one Hadith. I can download Bihari and I have 9000 Hadith that is the most
authentic. But the impact is nothing like those who traveled for the sake of Hadeeth. Or even those
who studied with the scholars or even those who took it. The famous Incidentally, my magic, my magic
is more. The first book of Eddie's, he was the first book that was meant to be, you know, not
published, there's no publishing house, but the first book that was meant to be disseminated amongst
the people, right, and people would come and eat, my mother could basically have batches of students
		

			batch, one would come and write to hold water from him, and then batch to batch three. So that's how
he would do it. There is no printing press, you're not going to buy it from the house, you will come
to the masjid or the profit solar system, you will sit in the gathering of your mathematics. And you
will write your own copy of the mortar beginning to end 1500 Hadeeth, you're going to write it down
beginning to end in your own handwriting, right? Compare this to download a PDF right now you can go
home and download 10 different versions of the MacBook in 10 minutes. You can download 10 different
printings in 10 minutes, right? In those days, you have to go and sit and write. Now. Mr. Malik,
		

			after one batch finished, he famously he looked at one student very happy he had his book, he's
going to get it signed that ijazah is going to happen. Now he has his motto, right? The student had
traveled from Allah knows where he sat for two months in the masjid of the professors. And that's
why my mother would teach. And now he has his mock up, right? And Mr. Malik smiled, and he said, How
will you ever appreciate this book? It took me 40 years to compile. And here you are, in a few weeks
have your copy.
		

			Now Subhanallah This is back then what do you think of me and you who is going to download 10
different versions of water and we just have them stored on our hard drive. You see, this is one of
the reasons one, there are others. One of the reasons why the earlier scholars there Baraka have in
their lifestyles. You see, knowledge isn't just by narrations, knowledge isn't just by memorization
is the impact that it has. It's your lifestyle, that changes your Eman, your taco your water, your
attachment to Allah is going to have an impact. And therefore even if a little bit of knowledge
influences you massively, it is more beneficial than a large amount of knowledge not benefiting you
		

			that much. And that's what we see in the scholars in the Sahaba in the tab your own in the early
generations, that knowledge, they valued it, and it impacted them, and they absorbed it. And then
their lifestyles changed as a result of this. And these days. So panela it is the reality. This is
our test from a law, you know, even will I tell you and I and I'm one of those that is guilty of
this YouTube and the access of lectures, right 1000s of lectures online, you don't value them
anymore. And I'll speak from my own experience when I'm going on and on. When I was in my early 20s
there was no YouTube there was no even English publications were so few. And I really valued really
		

			valued any bit of knowledge I could find in the English I couldn't speak read Arabic in Houston I
didn't wasn't you know, color is a student of knowledge is just an English, whatever English
publication, whatever series of knowledge that I could get. It was something I really valued it
because we didn't have access, there was nothing and you listen and you write notes and you pay
attention. If a scholar would travel through Houston, we would go to his other thought because
again, there is no YouTube, there's no access, but now Subhanallah so much knowledge and it's
beneficial there is no I'm not denying that. But because it's everywhere because it's proliferating.
		

			You don't have the same value as the scholars of our past it. So in any case, the point here is very
simple. appreciate what we have, and try our best to obtain quality rather than quantity. try our
best to the influence even by little bit of knowledge rather than just acquire, acquire and not have
that influence. We ask Allah xojo for knowledge that is beneficial. We ask Allah azza wa jal for
knowledge that impacts us. We ask Allah for knowledge that absorbed into the heart and we seek
refuge in Allah from knowledge that does not benefit us. We seek refuge from Allah from knowledge
that will be in evidence against us on the Day of Judgment. We ask Allah for EMA nafion for Amazon
