of them
he said caviar you know this and that's
something that a lot of anima do in
their early period they get overzealous
hesseman they call it right trying to
really cut off the pretext or something
like that setup that yeah and they might
say something that in their later life
they regret even Tamia is quoted by Imam
at the Hobby Assange Leno Kathy Rowe I
hadn't man I am autonomously me and he
said this is what even time eeeh I saw
him in the end period of his life he
said I don't make takfeer of any of the
Imams of the Muslims there are people
now that read some of the sections of
even Tanya and where he makes some tax
fairness Oh Gavin right he's powerful
first of all let me just give you a
myself a piece of advice don't ever call
a Muslim Katherine we have no authority
we don't have any authority to do that
that what's called takfeer is solely for
the ollie the ollie is the one that
makes takfeer that is the true story the
Bobbie is the one that makes tech field
now obviously if somebody says I don't
believe the prophets Eliza was a prophet
that's castle why because it's my lumina
Dean but the whole things that are known
by necessity about this religion you
know everybody knows if somebody says
Hummer is halal then Hamas there's no
debate I'm talking about subtle
theological points about things that we
are beyond our understanding so we have
to be very careful now some people make
takfeer of some of the Muslims they
should know that some of the things in
some of the books of the Muslims have
Cofer in them even from some of the big
emails the traditional position of the
anima is to say had a coup from Cydia
Mar dune
this is clear cover and it's rejected
whether I talk of the whole catabolic a
fuel and if this is called Joomla
Shibuya is a conditional sentence and if
the Imam who said it believed it when he
died then he died in a state of COFA but
that's the condition why put yourself
into trouble so we
as your knowledge broadens you begin to
see that Islam is a vast Universal
teaching that encompasses a great deal
of people's a great deal of diverse
opinions a great deal understandings and
misunderstandings and the purpose of I
said one time a man said he said what do
you think and the man said insha'Allah
what a out asshole Allah if Allah wants
and you want the other sort a lot the
promised a license didn't say much
careful
he said yeah he lettered and lived in my
law don't make me a partner with Allah
he taught him he didn't say you katha
one head he taught him and this is what
the Muslims are supposed to do but it's
not what I'm your breath Probot like
they used to say we were sent as
invaders not as judges and the Prophet
said about the Kaaba he said the from
did I see keen to judge people is a
knife is being killing yourself without
a knife and this is why the aquabats
hadith by the anythin our walk our
defend gender
so when you hear that hadith the the
judges are three two of them are in hell
and one of them is in paradise take it I
don't know statistics and probabilities
bad odds
all right bad odds really so you know
just we have to be very careful and and
the last thing just to say this about
Imam and Mazzilli who was one of the
greatest of the Imams he was they said
in his book in the Taba art they said
maccann are you probably ladies ugly
come by you know boo elephant fat well
they used to seek him out for medicine
like they sought him out for fatwa and
he the reason he studied medicine
because he went to one of the people of
the book and he was sick and he said to
him I'm sick and I need to be treated
and he and the man said to him he was in
Tunis he said you know you Muslim amazed
me he said that one of the greatest
things in my religion would be to kill
somebody like you because you're the
hood of Islam you're a proof of Islam
and you make us look bad so I could just
poison you and yet you come to me
trusting me he said I don't understand
that and unless it he said he thought
deeply about that and he realized that
we have to be independent in our
knowledge and so he went and mastered
medicine for that reason and that's you
suit the thorah that's seeing the
opening that needs to be filled and
going and seeking it out and one of the
great filter of our age is a need for
scholars not just of Islam but also who
know the a they are living in because a
lot clear clarifies kufur rightly test a
bina civilian we didn't mean the the way
of the would you mean has to be clear
part of the Quran is to clarify Kufa not
just to teach Islam and Eman and axon
but to explain to us what Cofer is do so
we have to deconstruct them we need
anthropologists that are occidentalis
like they have orientalists we need
occidentalis to write our knows and lost
murray is one of the first
anthropologists in history and
ultimately went around the bedouin
tribes and he just used to write
everything he heard and one of the
Bedouin when he saw him doing that he
said Subhan Allah you're just like those
kotoba as
butter on your like the Angels
everything I say you write it down
and one little story about alas my
because I like alas my he was once in a
Bedouin camp and the woman brought in
the tea and this is was permissible
according to imam mattock in the Mata
for a woman as long as there was a tub
and things to serve but she was a
fatahna very beautiful woman and Alice
Mary who you know he was with her or not
rashid and he was you know he was a good
Muslim and everything but he was also he
was a worldly type of person rahim allah
he said she was a incredibly beautiful
woman and the husband was very ugly and
he said to her he said subhanAllah
how does somebody as beautiful as you
end up with somebody as ugly as him and
and she said to him a tuck in laughs
yeah laughs my have taqwa of Allah
Langly aside to it out of be for Hawaii
jay-z when Watson ate out of these the
energies that oh maybe I did something
wrong and he's my reward and maybe he
did something right and I'm his reward
so anyway about an Meza D email
adversity about the Laura know he they
said Minsiter men satiate me from the
depth of his knowledge from the degree
of his understanding
they said he rarely saw a monkey he
rarely saw a mink on because of his vast
knowledge he used to be able to find
some excuse for his brothers when in
other words when he saw something that
most people would say is a Mongkok he
had some opinion of one of the rudiment
that it was acceptable
it's a beautiful statement to have us as
an epitaph for for you know in a book
about you that you looked to the best of
people and you sought for what are
called Maharaj and Manu yelled to me so
literally II when I was a brain Amara
the moment he looks
or for excuses for his brother even
seventy times right I have a friend who
who told me I because I he's always had
me come over I keep saying yes yes and
and then you know I said yeah I feel 10
my surgery and he said Anna chuckle even
anetha mania was fifteen he said I'm at
about sixty eight right now so you've
got a couple more smile on him
you know there's no years in a shara
really
in fact yomel I hear is the last day
because that's it after that there's no
more days there's a hob in the Quran
which that verse is actually
mushki in terms of the Memphis City but
just to say about happy hour hadith
probably is one of the greatest
intellectual contributions to human
society because it is really the first
deep critical analysis of of knowledge
the Mahad Bethune were extraordinary
people and Inc jihad which he the out of
mentioned about month Akkad Mont up it
is actually a ma arm in hadith you know
so it is a mom in fact a criticism comes
once you get to a level of knowledge but
the reason you criticize is not to find
fault it's actually to purify and to
correct so there's a difference between
somebody who's called more ideal and one
tuck it because nut is means wealth and
you know from a wealth of knowledge you
can make criticism if you don't have
knowledge then you should just you know
really withhold your criticisms because
you'll get yourself into danger so about
the Hadees I would say first of all
there we have many degrees I'm happy but
they're basically three dominant
criterion the first one is called
motivator which is a hadith and there's
debate on on what exactly is a motivator
but the basic idea
some say five some say at least ten is
not in each generation but most say
enough is not that it would be
impossible for there have been
conspiracy
narrators to have fabricated the hiding
and that hadith is obligatory to believe
in it is Elijah now there are some ideas
amongst you they wrote a book called
about the motivator and there's a few
there's about four or five books there's
only about 200 hadith that are mutata
there are not that many and one of them
interestingly enough is the hadith men
cthugha Alea men calibre na hitomi de
fella a table obama i'll go home in a
nod the one who tells a lie about my
hadith let him take his place in the
fire and that is mutata which is amazing
that means all the Sahaba heard that
hadith so the Prophet said it a lot of
times in many different places and it
was transmitted each generation by so
many narrators that it's impossible if
somebody comes along and says I don't
believe that hadith most of the Ummah in
fact I don't know any and the people
also know Adama because there is a
difference with the share of people
about how did they have different books
of hadith that they look to but in the
people of soon and the amara there is a
consensus that somebody who reject the
motivator hadith is not a Muslim that
they're outside of the pale of Islam
because it's impossible for them into a
lie so that hadith actually has it's
called a Delisle okapi it's a property
proof in its rude
in other words in soon you have
different types of proofs you have
what's called Ronnie Ronnie a guru or an
update in the world one year guru is
when it's called a head heady and it's
either sahi or beef and life is not used
for the ICAM and so anyway if it's
motivator then we have to absolutely
believe it now the second level of that
is what's called the sahih hadith and I
will say one of the great tribulations
of our age is all these muddy theme
running around they're all over the
place really unhappy throne are
everywhere
the earth he taught us all muscle ideas
on them and then they bang you over the
head with the Hadid first of all that's
called in the hadith literature not
gonna be dead if you say a hadith
that you read in a book that's called
knuckle and we Giada and not going to
each other by the seller so somebody who
wants to be set up for you should listen
to this knock a little bit either by the
self is unacceptable you can't even
relate a hadith that you read in a book
it's it is actually considered
impermissible by the earlier Lama to
relate a hadith that you read in the
book and especially if you don't know
the fat in minimal if you don't know the
subject from the object of the sentence
with most even modern Arabs demean you a
sentence like Armas even wah ba-bah
amaura and you say Arab and Joomla a ski
man that I had never long time ago I
can't you know really I mean we have to
have humility the anima didn't make
comments on Quran or hadith until they
mastered the Arabic language that's a
prerequisite of Islamic knowledge now
that doesn't mean we shouldn't read the
Hadees because unfortunately we don't
have very many more hadith in left and
the books are there and some of them
have been translated and I guarantee you
as somebody my knowledge of Arabic is
limited and I'm not saying that out of
some false humility I'm saying that
quite realistically I mean if you
actually get into the Arabic language I
don't know how they learned it I don't I
don't
how did see that we write his book I
don't know how he did that because it's
just this analyst there's always new
things to learn I learned things about
Arabic language and I've been teaching
it for five years and I'm just like
where did that come from
I didn't know what you know it's it's an
unbelievable night which fellow ha is so
complicated sophisticated you know and
and so we have to recognize that so the
sahih hadith is a sound hadith now a
hadith oh sorry yeah that is not moot Oh
Adam Salaam oh yeah tomorrow papa it is
sound and true but there's a probability
although it's very narrow if it's a year
that there might be a mistake in it
because it's not motivator so the even
though the
and the Metin are sound the meaning the
chain of narration and the text itself
doesn't contradict the Quran there's
still a slight possibility of a problem
in it if it's a Bihari Muslim a - after
the Bihari if it's Muslim if it's one of
the sits aha
then the the possibility is really quite
marginal and for that reason the element
accepted as a sound legislative source
in other words we can take a help um a
judgement from that Hadi so we should be
very careful about hearing a hadith like
on the wing of a fly as a disease and on
the other wing is a cure
so the fly comes into your drink then
you should put the whole fly into the
drink and and if you studied medicine
and say yeah actually you have the yeah
it's clear that that can't be a sound
happy that's inside Bihari
and you know that dr. O'Malley said I
could be and don't follow things you
don't know knowledge about because lanta
parnell hawa the problem i am born in
our the prophets Eliason does not speak
from his passion and that's a sound
hadith
so I'm Villa I lived in Mauritania which
is fly capital of the world and I used
to dump flies into my tea and yogurt all
the time hamdulillah I never got any
problems with it so and now just the
last and then another thing about
sahadev you'll hear somebody say yeah
that's a belief hadith da Alpha who and
Albani
that's a weak hadith Imam and Benny or
now so the deen al albani said it's a
weak happy first of all let me tell you
something there are many Hadees in al
hackin that are sahi on a shuttle hakkim
and their vibe and a sheltered bihari
imam al haqq and considers it so here
but albahari considers a week and then
there's more active of weakness there's
not just we had there - hustle on the
lady there's different levels weakness
some are weak in there is not or
something but they're strengthened by
enough hadith that might be hurried or
something like that so we're dealing my
whole point of this is we're dealing
with a complicated science it's not
something you can learn by buying a copy
of albahari
translated by dr. Martin L Hahn and
suddenly you become a mahadev now
because there's mistakes in all of those
translations I have yet to see a
translation that doesn't have some
mistakes in it what come on read up it
doesn't mean that the translator is more
good or didn't know I can model ela
perfection is on loss so a hadith like
that I will just say commenting on that
hadith is that there is a saw a hadith
that the Prophet said Moncada it a lot
the hello Jenna
most of the owner must say the condition
because remember Arabic is elliptical
not everything's mentioned that hadith
will have been about sane man Allah la
ilaha illaallah shitcan min al de da
halal jana the one who says that in hand
Allah in truth from his heart enters
Jenna
so there's your commentary banal Tao
saying right like a hadith it says that
you mean what had to come happen your
head buddy a female your booty no see
that's a sorry hadith in Imam Noah's
Arbaeen no one believes that's what it
says let you me know no one believes
until he loves for his brother when he
loves herself as a high mom in Islam
that's not the mom of everybody that's a
hi mom so what does the hadith me let
you know he commanded a man a Hadouken
none of you believes with a perfected
Eman so it doesn't mean that he's not a
moment it means that his Eman is still
growing and he hasn't achieved that
level of Eman which is a high level so
hadees have to be taken into
consideration of their translation
interpretation and understanding and
commentary by the rightly guided Imams
of the hadith now the other thing about
the second happy this hadith
first of all sahaba the Prophet said
things to the Sahaba that related very
specifically to the Sahaba that really
this is not made of what it means is for
the Sahaba it was an obligation right
but for the people who come after it is
the ideal that they should attempt to
achieve now to give an example for the
Sahaba they all had to pray in them in
the Masjid of the prophets Elijah the
five prayers they had to if they didn't
they considered it a sign of neetha of
hypocrisy and one of the Sahaba said
well I'm at the ha'la'tha I'm sorry and
he mysteriously lay in Lamoni doubling
me papa
we never saw anybody that used to not go
to the message of the Prophet and pray
except he was a clear monofin now
somebody here in Edmonton reads that
hadith yeah look at all these mana
Fiocchi I'm the only one in the Masjid
right what's he saying basically now
that shape on trying games with that
brother you see Kevin he's clever he
doesn't you know once he gets you in it
once he sees you're going to the message
it then he'll try other strategies like
what a good Muslim you are a love like a
bomb
takbeer now the in in Ahmed Ibrahim
bells med have it is wajib to pray in
the masjid it's a far dying if you hear
the Adhan it's a for buying and he
considers that the prayer was invalid if
you prayed it in your house without an
excuse ultimately charter be like a
sickness or something like that in the
other myth have it is Kara he Ishida
it's an extreme Kara here but you have
to hear the amount now if you look at
old pictures of Medina I guarantee you
you'll be amazed
there wasn't a house that wasn't three
minutes from the Masjid there wasn't
look at pictures I've seen these
pictures there wasn't a house that
wasn't three minutes from the message
but PA I met a man who lived in Medina
for the last 70 years he told me Bhatia
used to be a long distance from Medina
now it's literally right outside the
message of the prophets are lies and you
go out a door and there's Bhatia Masjid
is bigger now than the original city the
main state now is bigger regional city
there's two kind of people have to kind
of and you have to appreciate what I
would say Muslims living in a
neighborhood attempt if you're not going
to the Masjid attempt to put together in
the house if it's too difficult to go
the mess obviously the to go the message
it so we have to be careful about
reading hadith and applying those have
these two people nowaday very dangerous
because we'll literally will all end up
pain I mean my contention if a Sahabi
came in to any mustard in the Muslim
world
today he would probably say what
religion is this you know and that's
just the nature of you know of how far
we've come but the Prophet said you're
in a time if you hold to 110 if you
leave 110 you're finished to his Sabha
110 he said there's time on my Ummah if
they hold to 110 they'll have knit now
that one tenth doesn't mean far it means
the sooner it means the most how bad
things like that the far below you don't
pray one for every you know two days or
something like that right one
so I just think it's really careful and
then the last comment about those two
Hadees
there are Hadees that have Muhammad
health or Muhammad up and there's Hadees
that had Muhammad Raja or Muhammad boss
see if the prophets Elijah was given
Hadees in order to keep us balanced if
he gave all Hadees that were Rama
because he is what - Iran when a deer on
Bashir on when a deer on but what did he
prefer Bashir what I - nephew
he preferred Bashara and that's why it
precedes an idea - Iran one nadir on
he's first and primarily a Bashir but he
also has to give in law he has to warn
people because he can't simply just give
Bush shut up because we'll all just yep
take you do like the Prophet said when
he said that hadith in one area should I
tell the people you are so Allah in
other words that he's that if you say
light and I law you go to Jannah he said
no don't tell don't tell people say in
tequila because they'll get lazy they'll
just think that's enough and it's it's a
dangerous idea to live your life on
really it's a dangerous habit to live
your life on because we know fitna to
hover we know fitness Sahara tan cerca
rotten old middleman humbug is a famous
story when he was on his deathbed they
were saying saying I and I he loved that
and he would say that that and some of
them thought he was making Kufa and when
he explained to them he came out of the
Sakura Sakura is like a delirium he said
that shaitaan came to him and told him
that no no really
Islam is not to try to be short on this
and the problem is questions are always
to me they're detailed I know that
people like very short concise answers
but to me the knowledge not simple short
concise it's you know take an agnostic
and an atheist they're halfway to Islam
because Islam you first have to say that
you da ha before you get to it la la
we with every precedes negation precedes
affirmation so they're halfway there I'm
doula it's better than not being
anywhere I mean an atheist at least
they're taking a position right they're
taking a position I I prefer somebody
takes a position that somebody that just
a guru no no and I'll tell you something
that a theist the Imam used to debate
the atheist openly Alba Hani Ferelden
Lana used to debate them in the Masjid
in front of the Muslim they weren't all
like you know saying look at each other
and throw no they sat in debate and
discourse I need a pair two more in the
comb let's hear what you have to say
omaha Niva you know generally the Muslim
there are several arguments for the
existence of God right that are used one
of them is all the cosmological argument
or one ontological you know I mean
they're just words in the end of the day
but the the problem Muslims have
generally relied on the one called
argument by design which is all this
stuff is here where'd it come from and
it all the it spawned this perfection of
a laws existence so I think that usually
is a point of no really asking people to
reflect and think about where did you
where did this come from I mean one of
the things I benefited from Optoma
jiva's and Danny is that and that's a
good book in his book on ahead because
he he argued and many people who were
atheists and agnostics have become
Muslim from his talks one of the things
he said he had a doctor who said he
didn't believe in God and so he just
said to him what is the purpose of the
eye and he said to see he said what's
the purpose of the liver well it does a
lot of things but it functions purifies
the blood detoxify his bottle was a
person to heart send blood to the brain
to oxygenate the cells what is the pre
he went through all these parts of the
body because this doctor understood the
body he said you mean there's nothing in
the body that doesn't have a purpose and
the doctor said we'll really
not I mean everything has some purpose
the appendix they used to think that it
was vestigial organ that it didn't have
any point now they say no it actually
does have a function in the immune
system I think the only vestigial organ
of evolution is the human brain because
that's the only organ that people don't
seem to use which is a case against
evolution because the golden rule of
evolution is if you don't use it you
lose it
well we haven't used our brains for
centuries though I mean why is it still
around you know that's a you know
something to think about so he after he
went through all of that he just said to
him so you admit that everything there's
a Telos or a purpose to everything in
the body he said yes he said but the
synergistic effect of all of these
things the totality has no purpose and
you recognize the particular purposes
and yet there's no universal purpose you
see that's an important thing to think
about I mean we recognize the particular
purposes that there is design you know I
mean physiology one of the things that
you learn studying physiology as they
say form follows function in other words
that the organ is designed to fit a
certain function not the other way
around the function doesn't work from
the form and there's many many examples
of that but I think there's enough
people that believe in Allah out there
to talk to before going to people that
don't believe in Allah because really to
me it's it's a horrific thing I mean
what right do you have to say that Allah
doesn't exist really what right do you
have I mean you would you couldn't even
breathe if it wasn't for Allah's gift of
breath you know if you had one organ of
your body this disability I'm just your
kidneys go and look at somebody who's on
dialysis and what type of life that they
live the quality of life go and look at
somebody who has info
Seema's destroyed their lungs through
smoking you know and the gift of just
breathing of being a lot being conscious
what what right do you have to do not
recognize the the joy and blessings that
Allah has given you in children I mean
my children are just they're just a
source of constant you know just a lot
like about you know really they just
always you they're just so pure and so
alive and so they just fill you with it
I mean you what right this is the gift
of Islam as it is it gives us the
articulations of praise and gratitude to
our loss of the Hannah Wattana
we know to say alhamdulillah wa
shukrulillah and even the beauty of it
we say alhamdulillah could be had
they've been out the solid Iman and said
no that any tribulation that you have
you could be in a worse tribulation and
that's an Emma
so thank Allah anything that's afflicted
you like one man came to me once at the
Masjid and I can get pretty rough I was
not very nice to him but he came to me
said yeah I have this big problem and I
said by your father and he said my car
broke down and it's $800 and well and I
was we had just heard something and I
did I grabbed him I mean this is my bad
side up but I grabbed this kind of shook
my said look the Bosnians have a problem
all right you don't have a problem your
car breaking down
there's does not go under the category
of problem in my book all right your
house being bombed by an Israeli jet
that's a problem and really in the end
it's not because HUD motivates Shaheed
the one whose house falls on them is a
martyr so I'm to be God
I mean really it's it's a horrific thing
that that's happening but the attempt of
Shahada he takes from us martyrs Shahada
so we just be people of praise and
gratitude and Shukr you know that the
kaffir is an ingrate that's my favorite
translation of Kufar. it's just ingreat to be in gratitude to showing gratitude to Allah subhana WA Tallah
