My advice to everybody is what Shaykh Qatri used to say, "Learn your Fard Ayn and then do whatever you want to do." and I was noticing just from a lot of the
questions and also from a lot of the
private meeting with people a lot of
your questions can be resolved very
easily if you get some general knowledge
on your Dean and I'm said yesterday that
i don't think the religion intended for
everybody to be a scholar in that sense
of somebody who dedicates her life just
to knowledge because the world would not
work that was the case Allah has made
people he puts different loves in
different people's hearts some people
love grammar most people hate it but
some people actually love it and because
you need grammarians and he put love of
mathematics in some people's hearts most
people don't like math but some people
they love it it's their life and that's
because you need mathematician so
whatever Allah put in your heart that
you love as long as it's how loud
there's our hikmah there's a divine
wisdom in that and we should be thankful
for that so everybody that you see who's
in some way doing something positive
that that's a blessing from Allah
they're a blessing everybody that you
see out there is possibly someone that
you owe something to you might not know
it you might walk past a person that
delivered the milk that you bought in
the store you just don't know everybody
out there is potentially somebody who
you actually are indebted to and vice
versa so people I think if they would at
least take some time out of their busy
lives to give to a loss of behind with
honor for acquisition of basic al Qaeda
a lot of your problems will be resolved
by this learning basic al Qaeda and then
also a basic text of a vedette in
particular and then if you get married I
mentioned yesterday you should learn the
rules of marriage both the outcome of
Zola's and the
Barack because that's actually part of
marriage knowing divorce and then also
the mizzou diet and hua ji bet Wilma sue
yet the rights and responsibilities the
hokas Oh Jane the rights of the spouses
so that if there's any debates or
anything like that your spouse's know
who they owe who's in the right and
who's in the wrong and problems will be
resolved and then also a basic text on
Alec like multiple ooh of purifying the
heart and working on the heart and
working on those things that you need in
order to change yourselves and in your
condition and then the best thing is to
to find good company find some brothers
and some for the sisters some sisters
that you're comfortable with that have
the same mush shut up that you do
because you don't want to be around
people that are arguing the mamata
karate lon he didn't argue he wouldn't
argue about religion he wouldn't debate
is this as simple as that the raga bliss
bayani says in a Verya that LG dad
macaroon vehicle allama muharram une
fille haha awam that argumentation is
makrooh for ulema because it leads to
behold and shanna leads to animosity and
M nity but it's haram for common people
it's actually haram to argue about
religion is haram I mean understand that
that's that's a how come of the ulema
it's haram for you to sit around in some
MSA and argue about a shoddy or met to
DD or selfie or Wahhabi or sufi or you
don't you have no authority to do that
and you're actually accruing wrong
actions if you want to find out then you
know you have to to study my suggestion
theirs is that you take very seriously
the hadith of the Prophet SAW I am in
which he said be with the majority
there's a hikmah in that
the the prophets allah is adam said that
the vehicle minutemen are calcium that
the wolf will eat the sheep that goes
away from the the flock man shut the
shad effin are the one who deviates from
the majority deviates into the Hellfire
so the majority of Elima are very clear
about what Islam is there hasn't been
any serious debates it's following one
of the schools that are valid which does
not negate tell feel joining between the
schools with with the conditions that
are laid out by the AMA and I don't you
know the Shia I consider them they're
our brothers in the religion it's an old
debate and I'm not going to resolve it
if the greatest ottimo in the history of
Islam couldn't resolve it we're not
going to resolve it we shouldn't be
under that illusion and we should just
have peaceful coexistence you know they
have their mosques and and if they come
to our mosques marhaban they're welcome
to pray with us and we shouldn't get
into fights or arguments with them we
should certainly not discuss the issues
that create the animosity about Sahaba
or I shall Delano or any of those things
and if you don't ask you know you won't
have a problem if you start asking you
have problems CD at mizzou Brooke said
that the worst the the door to every
evil is asking how so and so is doing he
said that's the doorbell myth tohoku
deshara is saying keifa foolin how so
and so doing because it opens the door
of Heba of backbiting and all those
things so you just don't want to do that
people have to learn fault line they
have to go and learn from valid scholars
and my advice about valid scholars are
the people that are following what has
been the majority of enema following for
the last several hundred years and the
majority is that they follow the one of
the four meth head and if they have tell
vehicles with the conditions of tofu of
going to other med hub it's done with
the conditions and that they follow one
of the sound
and a leader of the Muslims which is
either the athlete of Allah has entered
a shoddy ordeal on whom or they updated
with his school not it's not just
limited to his opinion just like Malachy
school is not just limited to the
opinions of Eman medical delano or the
hanafi school the opinions of hanifa
sometimes the school goes against the
opinions of the founder of the school
which is a proof it's not tuk li dama I
mean that's one of the ridiculous
arguments of the people that attack
these schools is they say oh they just
with the I'll sibley Malik and it's not
true because there's a positions in the
manic you met have that concur with the
shaft meth head that go against Imam
addicts position they actually take the
position of the other Medhat because
they think the deal is stronger so the
argument of that is a false argument
people shouldn't listen to that I mean
most of these arguments that people give
our sophistical arguments there they're
based on unsound reasoning and somebody
gave me a paper the other day and it was
just for their own clarification
attacking the shoddy and the Met to DD
meth hub and it's fallacious reasoning
you know I don't know what else to tell
you it's just that a lot of it is very
poor shoddy reasoning based on taking
things out of context based on attacking
people for things that were necessary at
given time so and then the third which I
don't deny I mean some of the element
would disagree with this but the third
is a 30 school like people like you have
the bottom oral delano who were not
shoddy Orma to DD but they were a 30 but
they were not like these people claim
now and that school is closest to the a
P dovey mamata Howie of the Alana which
is very basic simple arpita that goes
into no speculative theology those are
the what the OMA agreed on and then
finally the third aspect of the Dean is
s on yes on has an outward aspect which
is a lock of teddy bear a holla and then
it has an inward aspect which is the
Iowa
and the mahkumat which are the states
and stations of the sateen of people on
an inward path to Allah and I talked
yesterday about the path of salvation
which is the majority of Muslims are on
of just trying to get salvation with in
the next world and then the path of
sanctification which is to actually have
modify in this lifetime before you exit
the world and that is for people with
the high him masako nozawa new economic
are robbing those are the people that
Allah says are the out strippers sabihin
mo farah doing the prophets Elijah them
mentioned a group of people and he was
asked who they were and he said instead
o Nevada kittila people that are
intoxicated that are addicted to the
remembrance of Allah they're doing it
constantly and you know my advice
inshallah is to find good company what I
was saying is to find that good company
of people of the same mashup so that you
don't fall into dispute ation and
argumentation and if people want to
argue with you you say what nima medical
delano said is they searched adam in
edina fish a argumentation is not part
of the religion simple as that that's
what he said it's not part of our
religion if there's any g Dalits
supposed to be with non-muslims it's not
it's not you know it's and then it's

bad dear brothers and sisters Salaam
alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh I
don't like the word farewell because I
hope that we meet again and I like
another greeting actually in the German
language of Vida zein we see again this
is what people say in the German
language of it as a and it means we see
each other over again with the hopes
that we see each other over again
farewell means there's no further
meetings because people use the trouble
on sea and there were hardly any chance
they would meet again but I hope
insha'Allah that our ways will cross
each other in other classes in this life
here in the mouth cause or our ways
cross each other in Mecca and Medina and
finally in our last abode in an Jenna
inshallah where we know Allah and we
have hopes that if we maintain our email
sha allah and our righteousness and our
aware that we will be rewarded in aegina
hopefully insha allah in the company of
the prophets of allah allah allah he
will he was in LA with the highest ranks
of enfield dolls and Anna so we're not
going to split or separate from each
other but I hope that some memories of
which adult will remain with us that is
to say memories of guidance reminders of
Allah the sacred knowledge that you
studied with the teachers and I'm very
grateful to have been sitting with you
here probably some of you are grateful
or feel that they are obliged but
actually I benefit from teaching the
students I believe I don't know how far
but sometimes much more than some
students benefits because first of all
and this is
were one without a student the teacher
is never called a teacher so there is no
shape if there is no student otherwise
I'd be sitting at home and I want to be
a shade or a teacher if I don't have a
student second if I don't teach what I
studied just sooner or later I'm going
to forget it third if you don't provide
me with feedbacks that is to say some
remarks questions comments I wouldn't be
able to look up find answers to recent
questions update my knowledge to the
recent situations to find solutions to
the rising problems for Muslims in a
certain country or in a certain area in
a certain time because we need to look
up what is suitable for Muslims
everywhere and sometimes there are
subtleties explanations proves that we
avert when we study or when we teach so
your feedback your questions actually
teach us a lot and besides your
sincerity and your hearts are the most
important things which make sometimes us
speak things that we really are unaware
of its your result and this is actually
what makes me fear allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala most in terms of making claims
because what I say if it fits a person
or if it comes as a response to a
certain query a person has or to a
certain problem a person has it's not
that I am intelligent it's not that I
prepared it's just your heart your
sincerity that comes like a thirsty
piece of land that calls for water and
it absorbs water it's not that we are
good or we are learned and I would like
to remind you of the categorization an
imam al-ghazali made in the beginning of
a heirloom Dean that we don't have
ignorant people and learned people I'm
not standing in front of you here
claiming to be a learned person having
knowledge being proud of it boasting of
it and then talking to people in front
me as being ignorant and then reminded
them of their ignorance no you are
seekers you are seekers you know I'd
America's Ally said people are of four
categories the first is Roger lon 3y
Adrian know yet if Adela Carly month
interfere will be that is a scholar
learn from him the second Raja Rani a
tree while I Adrianna who he had the
reef Adela cut off you don't finna be ho
he's a heedless he doesn't know he knows
we should draw his attention to what he
knows Roger on lately widely and new
layer 3 this is the case of the Seekers
people who don't know but they know that
they don't know that is to say they want
to seek knowledge they want to increase
their knowledge of the Dean or any
subject then these are seekers and some
of these people would be probably much
higher than many scholars the prophet
salallahu tejada Holly he was seldom in
the motivator hadith Hyrule corny corny
semaine de dar una home some in the DNA
Luna home the best of all generations is
mine then the one that follows then the
one that follows with the exception of
the Sahaba the honour of Sabah of the
prophets of allah allah allah he will he
will send down there could be in later
generations individuals who would outdo
people from earlier generations with the
exception of Sahaba shut off a softball
so there could be amongst your students
who would be scholars in the future
inshallah and this is our hope because
we saw the classes of our teachers when
there were 20 students 23 out of them
became great scholars when they were 100
students 10 7 8 15 became a great
scholars and we have in front of us here
a group of marvelous brothers and
sisters devoted to the Dean your love
for the dinner brought you here your
sincerity your vision that Muslims need
to work on a higher level brought you
here so we are grateful to allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala that you made the
first step some of you would return home
to apply what they studied in their
homes and within their families some
others would go to teach in their
communities some others probably would
study for 12 x 3 years for denying some
others would devote the rest of their
lives for the dean to become scholars
and this is what the Ummah needs I'm not
going to talk about the fourth category
or ozone layer three well I adrien the
hula Adria man who doesn't know and he
doesn't know that he doesn't know this
is the worst category because with
people like you we can change the status
quo of the Muslim Ummah now and we need
to change direction of Islam in the west
and the way to change it is to bring it
from a level of activism to a level of
intellectualism that is to say we need
to bring the OMA to a higher
intellectual level where the concern of
the oma is the study of the Dean and the
deliberation on knowledge knowledge that
belongs to Islamic civilization
knowledge that stems from the book of
allah the sunnah of the prophet of allah
ma li you send them and the way of the
era lleva not a level of activism
because activism is now stemming from a
void from nothing just from anger the
