health which means behind its your back
I mean Vania day he woman healthy from
what is in front of you and what's from
behind you mean healthy so health has to
do with the back now if you look at the
idea Halawa you Hari for heal a fan it
means that you disagree with somebody so
why would the word for disagreement be
related to the word which has to do with
leaving behind where's the relationship
where's the relationship
it's something a little bit before that
what's the relationship what do we say
about individuals do you know anything
about his background right do you know
anything about his background everybody
has a background everybody has something
that's following his his behind that
comes with him when he comes to the
table so each individual has a life
experience related to how he has lived
his life what experiences he's had and
those life experiences including how his
parents treated him how his teachers
treated him what he was taught in school
if he had teachers at all what his
friends were like how they treated him
if he's short if he's tall these are
going to have psychological implications
on how a person views the world and so
each person has what's called a
healthier and this is in arabic as
salvia is your background your salvia is
your background when you come as a group
of individuals if you are not aware of
somebody else's background then this is
where disputation horizon
you see argumentation because you're not
seeing it from that perspective of the
other individual and this is why one of
the important components in dealing with
human beings is to understand their
background if you look at the prophet
sallallaahu some them there was a
bedouin once you did you have something
you wanted to share if you look at the
prophets of light Sam the Bedouin came
to him and he jerked his roll until they
said some ephemeral appeared in the neck
of the Prophet some redness and the
Prophet turned him and said what do you
want and he said give me something from
what Allah has given you and the Prophet
said and why should I do that
and he said after what you did to me in
other words and he said because I heard
you're somebody that doesn't repay a
wrong with another wrong right now the
Prophet smiled and gave him something
if you look at that part of it is the
profit understood men better Jaffa he
articulated that whoever lives in the
desert becomes dry now when I lived in
the desert when I had gotten came back
to the desert after a long time when I
first saw my teacher that I wept you
know I had some tears and somebody told
me later he said you know this earth has
dried out our tears we don't cry very
often in fact one of the Arabs said you
Kylie no Alana piata I hadn't then I'll
allow the Ichabod and easily people weep
about us but we don't weep over anyone
our livers are more tough than the
livers of camels because the liver is
the seed of emotion you see in the Arab
tradition and also in the Greek
tradition delivers the seed of emotion
and if you don't believe it is just try
getting hepatitis and see what happens
to you because your liver is no longer
functioning so you become very angry and
irritability is one of the symptoms of
hepatitis in western medical textbooks
you look under hepatitis symptoms
irritability and anger why are they
getting irritable angry because the the
liver is not functioning properly and so
the emotions get out of balance you're
no longer able to integrate them so the
the earth itself is drying by nature and
emotions have to do with robobot they're
wet you see and so these people have
less emotion than other people and also
because of the harshness of the life
they can't be emotional people it's a
very difficult place to live so the
nature of the life necessitates a type
of toughness and so they're not like
other people now because of that the the
prophets Eliza have said men bedded
Jaffa and because he knew salamati S&M;
that these people are are harsh in their
nature that it's really something that
you have to put up with you can't fall
them in that way because it is literally
part of the environment in which they
grow up in and so by understanding their
Haldia
because if you saw a Bedouin and he
comes up to you and he starts behaving
like that you punch him in the face
right which might be a reaction from
somebody you know pulling the profits or
license cloak and this is because they
don't understand the background the
healthiest oh he laughs develops but
somebody who understands the background
can can literally they're able to to
diffuse that type of situation and this
is why the whole idea of Calif being a
Rama ft da Yadav Oh Almighty is
irrational why because each one of us
has literally something to bring to the
table of understanding and so Imam Shafi
Garagiola know his background where he
grew up is not the same as Malick Omaha
navara Delano did not grow up in the
same environment as Imam Shafi each one
of them is different if you look at
matok his his tradition is much more
sympathetic to the Bedouin than the
other met HAP's
he was in an environment in which the
Bedouin were constantly coming into
Medina and asking him questions he was
aware of their social circumstances in a
way that Mohini thought of the lana was
not because of Wahine who was living in
Baghdad and his contact with Bedouins
was minimal but Abu Hanifah Robb Delano
has a certain advantage of being in a
financial center in the Muslim world
that the other Imams didn't have you see
so because of their background also abu
hanifa is an idea me before he's out of
it so Abu Hanifah has an aji me
background and you can see within his
med have an understanding of the atom
that differs from the other three email
so each one of them has a certain
sociological historical background that
is going to enhance his understanding of
the Deen you see it won't be an
impediment it will be in
transmen now it's not for nothing that
Abu Hanifah rubella is the dominant med
hub of the non-arabs
I mean that's an interesting phenomena
that there are more non-arabs that
follow the method of alba Hani for then
of the other three Imam and it's not for
nothing that the vast majority of
nomadic people follow them that have of
Imam Attica of the Olano traditionally
in the Islamic tradition and it's one of
the things even Halden points out in his
mock oedema so background this I'm just
giving you an example of how semantic
fields are created in the Arabic
language and enhance our understanding
of the nature of reality itself and this
is why Allah says or one of the reasons
why Allah says that it was put into the
Arabic language or the Quran is Arabic
by nature lolicon talk alone in order
that you use your intellects it will
force you to reflect a variety the
Beruna for an armada alumina Saroja
don't they reflect deeply about the
Quran or is their hearts or their hearts
locked do they not have access to the
organ of understanding now that's
another interesting word - double -
double because dubar is the end of
something and so part of the double is
to go to the end of a thing to reflect
to the end to take it to its fall and
final conclusion not to simply be
superficial people but to go deeply and
look at what's behind the meaning behind
the thing itself because Dober literally
means the behind it means what you can't
see from an individual when you're
standing in front of them and Obul means
is the front it's what you took are the
louisville bar bill right the hobo is
the the front part and the dover is the
back part and the arabs a layer
yahoo-hoo bloom in degree he you can't
tell the front from the back so the
digger is the back of
thing which normally is hidden from view
when you're talking to somebody or when
you're in the presence of an individual
and so yet a dub bar means to seek out
what you can't see it's not to be
superficial it's not to take the meaning
at face value to go beyond what is
simply there so if you look at the quran
itself when allah says in the quran la
Aqsa mo v maracas and lejeune were in
the hood of assimilated Emunah ameen in
the hula for a non-korean tiki tab in
maknoon lime sue ellen mapa Harun Allah
swears by Milwaukee and knew June by the
places of the revelation now also
maracas and no zoom means by the
constellations of the stars by where the
stars lie when being since the very
beginning of creation since there's been
human beings to reflect the night sky
has been an obsession of human societies
and this is why astronomy is one of the
foundational human sciences and much of
the ancient world has to do with
astronomy if you look at the pyramids
and at all of these things most of it's
done because of observation of stars and
believing you how to align human
structures with the celestial forms and
things like this so you have people
literally those houses were designed
based on planetary design celestial
design but if you as a modern go out and
look at the night sky what do you see as
a modern unless you've studied astronomy
you see just a jumbled mass of lights up
in the sky you see no pattern
most city people if you take them out to
the night sky they don't even know where
the Big Dipper is right they call it an
air pocket double to view the Big Dipper
they don't know where it is
they don't know that you can see the
pole star and that the pole star doesn't
move most people don't know that I'm not
making this up you take them out you see
clear these Suraiya where's your idea
and they don't know even the modern
Arabs don't know anymore now if you go
to a Bedouin or bin Laden home yet a
dune they are guided by the Stars if you
go now to the Saharan desert you can get
a Bedouin who lives out in the desert
and he can show you the whole night sky
you'll say this here's this moffat
here's this mud flap here's this measum
here's this bar there's that idea
there's that there ah why do they
need to know that because they literally
guide themselves in the nighttime when
they travel in the desert by those far
so it becomes an important element of
the life to observe it and to know it
and they learn it from their parents and
from their mentor well the modern people
have lost this science why because even
Izumo me set when the night sky is put
out which elohim adi says is one of the
signs of in the dunya not in the
al-shara that the night sky would be put
out so now you go outside here in
Nottingham and centuries ago or even 60
years ago 50 years ago or a hundred
years ago when they didn't have lights
in these areas you could see the whole
night canopy now you can you don't see
the lights anymore you'll just see vague
few stars up in the sky right so when we
look at the sky we don't see the the
extraordinary nature of the sky but the
ancients did but they didn't see it by
just going out one night and looking
and saying oh I see all the patterns no
they had to watch it night after night
they had to make what's called to dub
ball right and watch it so that they
could see oh this did this last night
now tonight it's doing this then the
next day it's doing this and then and
then they watch it over the course of a
year and they realize oh in the in the
summer all the stars are here in the
winter they're over here and it's
repeated every year so then they start
working out about the whole nature of
the earth you see so all this
extraordinary knowledge was acquired
simply by observing the star so Allah
swears by Mohammedanism by the places
that he has put the stars were in Nevada
parsimony dote on the moon Arlene it's a
vast hustle if you thought about it that
Allah is maintaining and even more
fascinating for me is that the modern
astronomers say that what we're seeing
although it appears to us all to be
simply a one dimension or
two-dimensional canopy that many of
these constellations have stars that are
millions of miles apart from each other
right so we see them together a
constellation that's fixed when in fact
they're incredible distances between
them but Allah has made them what
happens a young nurse Emma Dounia be
Mossad yak
we have ornamented the night sky with
these Mesabi air now
the other meaning of the Moapa and the
jewel is the places that the is fall
into and this is called Tartabull quran
and this is one of the secrets of the
book of allah you see is the actual
turkey before on where the verses fall
into why they fall one comes after
another and this is why Allah says it's
an album it's a it's a great oath in the
hula for Anwen kareem it's a generous
quran sheikh eat a bin McNown in a
hidden book kena means to hide or be
hidden from ki tamanna McNown means a
book that's hidden leia mu so they don't
have intimacy with it el el mapa Haram
that are purified by Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala it's not mapa here on those who
purify themselves or an muthappa here on
its and ma Pajaro those who allow
purifies them those who are law gives an
access to this book so it's a hidden
book it's hidden from ignorant people
and that's why it's the ulil and bab the
people of inner most pit or core those
are the people that can understand the
Quran l'homme kublai f kahuna be have
they have hearts but they don't
understand with them so they have organs
of understanding but they're cut off
from it right so on edema and optimum
them soon there won't let you be known
Hatem allahu allah who will be him they
don't have access to their hearts while
asami him wander about Saudi Malaysia WA
and over their eyes is a he's a veil
they can't see it so somebody looks now
if you read the early Orientalist not
the later Orientals because they become
more clever because they started reading
tough seer right this true
the early Orientalists just looked at
the Quran they didn't look at tafseer
and so they said this is just garbled
mash of it doesn't make any sense just
like some ignorant person looking up at
the sky and saying this is just chaos
it's the jumble of just a bunch of
lights thrown together there's no
pattern here this is ignorant you see
ignorances is people that make hokum
make a judgment about something that
they have no knowledge about right they
have no knowledge of it but they yet
they make judgment and these are this is
the stupidity of man you see it's like
in the Arabic the modern Arabic you call
the appendix ze de right because the
modern Arabs falling into the trap of
ignorant Western people named it an
organ like an X
organ because the traditionally the
Europeans thought that the appendix had
no function meaningless organ is just so
this little thing at the end it just
sticks out of the colon and it has no
purpose right
so they called it Aida extra well now
recently they discover oh what actually
it does have some immune we can't fully
understand what's going on here but it
seems to have some immune function that
it's functioning to enhance the immune
system so because they couldn't work out
that it what it meant they have to say
it means nothing which is the height of
arrogance that O'Malley said I could be
and don't follow up things you have no
knowledge about you know don't say oh it
doesn't mean anything because you don't
understand its meaning right and this is
what ignorant people do so the whole
nature of looking at the Quran is
recognizing that the Quran takes years
of serious deliberation and in the end
you will only know just like the
astronomer will only know in minut
amount about the night scott star we
will only know a small amount about the
quran itself because like the night
scott stars it has infinite
possibilities and meaning then there's
the there's in fact more so than the
night sky because the night sky is
finite whereas the quran is from the
speech of allah which is infinite so
it's its meanings are inexhaustible and
they won't be exhausted in any one
lifetime or even the lifetime of the
ummah so it's a deep book and the arabic
language is a deep language because the
arabic language is the vehicle which
which allah subhanho wa taala has
revealed his book it's revealed in the
language of the arm and so the language
itself has a depth which will if you
take it on upon yourself will give you
more depth it will increase your own
understanding and don't think that the
Arabs have access to this because they
don't the Arabs have been cut off from
their language just like the Muslims
have been cut off from Islam and the
Deen and all these things you see most
Arabs are speaking Arabic without
realizing what the meanings of the words
they're saying they don't know they
don't know that about the root system
they don't know they don't see
connections between the words and I'm
not making this up they've been cut off
from their language and partly because
they've adopted Western ways of teaching
Arabic they left the traditional ways of
teaching the language because one of the
sciences of the language called Konoha
which is learning at the the in-depth
understanding of words that words in
Arabic are very specific and it was one
of the traditional sciences that was
taught in in the Muslim University but
people don't know that anymore I
remember years ago I was in bleedin
Algeria at one of the own amaz house and
I was looking in his library and he had
a book by a styler be called saloa and I
opened the book and I was looking at it
is very complicated to me at that time
and I asked him about it and he said he
said
Lindy hack you know this is something
learn your objective first learn the
alphabet and learn then you can look
into this so the language is
inexhaustible and it doesn't stop
but part of learning the language is
recognizing that it is a means and it's
not an int and in the way that I was
taught in from the Mauritanian scholars
is that knowledge goes like this my aha
you don't own a fool what the most
important knowledge is your Arpita how
you understand allah subhanaw taala and
the messenger in the idea ahem ooh ha ha
zoom zoom my for one and then the
follow-up to know the fit of by for what
not by Oh sue see some people now they
want to start fit with a soul and not
learn follow up you know we start with
photo ID just like the tree you first
see the branches you don't see the roots
you have to before you learn about the
roots of the tree you have to learn
about the branches of the tree and when
we think of a tree we don't think of
roots we think first of the trunk and
the branches and so that's what we learn
is the photo I tell so will form and
then Tessa wolf which has to do with
action how you act with what you know so
now you know epatha and you know food or
now you have to act according to it with
sincerity you have to believe in a lot
of applause and you have to do practice
your fifth with a class well not when we
do it let me out with a lot welcome you
seen the who Dean that's all they were
commanded to do was to worship Allah
which is you need up either and you need
fit to do that
you can't worship Allah without our key
then and without fit and you need to be
much less militia in the hoody you have
to have their claws and that's possible
so so often what an attorney has to do
what and you have to have a tool to
begin all of this
with and that's the Arabic language well
adit only has one so the Arabic language
is a tool by which you access the Deen
the meanings of the Deen
now this in no way should imply that a
Muslim can be a Muslim we cannot be a
Muslim without knowing Arabic that's a
false analogy or a false reasoning there
are many Muslims that have lived and
died in Islam and been much better
Muslims than the people who know the
Arabic language inside and out that
never knew any Arabic and that's
possible is it the desired situation no
it's not the desired situation because
it's the desired situation is that your
Deen is complete and part of the
completion of the Deen is understanding
the Book of Allah and that can't be
understood without the Arabic language
it doesn't mean you can't understand the
message of Islam without Arabic you can
the message of Islam can be transmitted
somebody can understand that I hate the
law without being a Muslim and there's
Muslims all over the world that do in
the vast majority of Muslims are non
Arabic speaking but Imam Shafi
in his City sada but of the alarm who
says yes you were adequately more tender
than any autonomy my who do who do who
min it out of the earth or you thought
of it out of the EMA
it's necessary for every McKenith right
which is a person who's reached puberty
to learn what he's capable of the
language of the era
and we know that Imam Shafi or the one
who lives 17 years amongst the desert
Arabs to absorb the language completely
and he is one of the great masters of
the Arabic language he spent 17 years
because he wanted to understand the
Quran and Benny Tamim still had a very
pure Arabic even already in this
beginning of the second century the
early part of the second century so
inshallah what what should happen is we
should make a commitment to learning
language and recognize that the language
can be learned that's an important
aspect of all of this the language can
be learned but it's it's literally once
you've said about learning the language
and insha Allah what what I think what I
can do for you in this month is to
really maybe give you some basic because
for an agony to learn the language is
not like an Arab who's learning the
language somebody who's Arabic by tongue
their mother tongue it's not the same as
an ad Jimmy who's learning the language
from start an Arab even though it's a
dialectical broken Arabic despite that
they have an advantage in some ways and
in some ways a disadvantage but they
have an advantage over non Arab because
of the
that they got from their childhood and
then also they studied even in the
modern schooling most of the primary and
secondary education is in Arabic but for
them to really study the language they
have to break a lot of bad habits and
things like that for a non-arab to learn
you're starting without the bad habits
right so you can learn the language in a
different way so there's advantages and
disadvantages to having dialectical
arabic or not having it but for the
Ajami person to learn Arabic the best
way to go about it I think is to look at
how the grammar the morphology and the
grammar is structured because the
Persians did this work for non Arabs
really I mean even though say now Ali is
attributed out of the Ilan who with
giving the first guidelines to putting
down the Arabic language to avoid us
what it do any was one of his companions
he was given the the guidelines for
doing this and he told him he said he he
told him that a lot of Vietnam kazuya
data data is form of animal holophone
and he said somehow had a now you have
ISM a ISM and you have a feral and a
house you have nouns which include
adjectives and pronouns and all
then you have verb time related words
and then you have conjunctions particles
and prepositions and then he said go
this way fun who had a now and that's
where you got the word now for grammar
but the reason that that's what a doily
came to him and complained to him was
that his daughter made Al and she
mispronounced something or she actually
made a grammatical mistake which worried
him now the reason she did that is
because what was happening is many
people were marrying Persians women
and/or having servants who were non Arab
and just like today in the Arabian
Peninsula you have now this phenomenon
of a lot of indo-pakistani or
Bangladeshi
or Filipino servants from Indonesia
coming and they learn a very broken at
Arabic and the children will often
because they speak more with the
servants they'll get these really bad
habits of broken Arabic right now
already they have a broken Arabic but
now they're getting a even more
transmogrified version of the language
it's it's gotten worse and this is a
danger always and so what grammar was
established as a way one of preserving
the language of the Quran but to of
taking non Arabs and and giving them the
ability to understand because people
native speakers tend not to know so much
their their grammar there are many
English people walking around speaking
excellent syntactical English and not
making any mistakes in their in their
language but if you ask them to give you
a grammatical analyses of a sentence
structure they might not know at all
they might have had it back in school
but they can't remember
anymore but because they've learned the
language like this they don't really
need it whereas for the eruv and the
non-arab now in order to understand the
quran you have to have an understanding
of grammar you have to and the Quran
cannot be interpreted without
understanding the nature of the grammar
of the Quran and the morphology and and
the semantics of the language because
that's one of the sciences of Islam is
understanding what the words meant at
the time of the revelation not later
you can't take a word like for instance
in modern Arabic muta ser means backward
in the sense of like a Dola muta Azshara
a country that's back technologically
and Dolan with the edema so the
Europeans are called muta at the moon
and the Muslims are called muta a
theorem that's what in modern linguistic
discourse they'll say you know they'll
say something like tuna stolen go to
akhira for firaon Saddam attack oedema
Tunis is a backward country and France
is a progressive country well if you
take that same vocabulary and look at
the Quran it says quite the opposite it
says Neiman Sanya - aha and yet Adam oh
yet aha that this book is for those who
they want to get up at them by believing
in it and following it or yet AHA by
just believing it and not following it
so the Quranic nature of the pediment
offer has to do with belief and Cooper
so by our if we're using Quranic Arabic
we would say Forenza is Delta Akira and
Tunis is dolomitic Idina by the language
of the Quran so we can't take how the
moderns use the language and try to
apply it and this has been done very
stupidly you know I've heard people say
things that have nothing to do with the
nature of the Arabic language and then
they
somebody's tried to say that Adam was
meant human beings and wasn't an
individual she's a woman she teaches
Arab Islamic history in Kentucky
PhD but a fact Assam and I heard her
give a lecture and she said o Adam means
the human beings
it doesn't mean an individual so when
the Quran says Adam the oh and then what
this is even more absurd she said that
when Allah says Allah vihara hokum in
Neffs and wahida wahala Amin ha ahaaaaa
the one who created you from one nafs
and created from that nufs its mate she
said nuts is feminine and xoj is
masculine so the woman was created
before the man so this is type of
stupidity and ignorance that exists in
this day and age you know because people
don't there's no traditional knowledge
anymore being imparted and so everybody
you know Kulemin have bola de bay if
they can and everybody that can get up
on their two feet and put sentences
together can lecture and and do things
and this what's happening and so a lot
of false information is being spread
about Islam so inshallah hopefully in
this month you know we'll we'll we'll
just try to look at at some of the basic
structure of the Arabic language for
some people there's going to be some
review and and that's always good
generally
is not a bad thing if you look in the
traditional pop apart they'll say things
like Walker Al Jarreau Nia Allah and
foolin and then Walker on edge oromia
a la una Black Hills have read the edge
over Mia several times it is true or not
true yeah
they'll take one same book and read it
with several different teachers and part
of it is the reinforcing of knowledge
right and the other thing is that we
forget when Takata Crawford Abood onion
said the one that leaves repetition they
forget so there's no harm in going over
things a second time if you've already
done some of the things before it's
always good and what I found is
generally when you do things the second
or the third time you get openings that
you didn't have the first time so
there's always a blessing to that also
so hopefully you know during this time
my recommendation to myself and and all
of you is like one of them said what
what walk to emphasis or not we need to
be ugly he was had a cameo bo time is
the most precious thing that you're
concerned with preserving and I see it's
the easiest thing that you can lose time
is the most precious thing that you
should conserve and it's the easiest
thing that can be lost so you have a
month and a month is actually in this
day and age toward the end of time the
awesome as Nina time begins to be
constricted it goes very fast I was just
in a two-week teaching thing in New
Mexico and it was gone just like that
so today inshallah we ask a lot to give
us Baraka at the time because if there's
butter cut you'll find that there's you
have more time when there's less Baraka
then time goes faster right
so hopefully Allah give us Baraka so
there's more time more
managed to the time we have but what I
would really highly recommend is just to
really take take the time here seriously
to just study and for those of you who
have been studying in the university or
have recently been in courses and things
like that it's going to be a little
easier because you're used to to doing
some study for people who haven't you
just have to you know subdue the nephs
attic a useful man Dan and EPSA who well
I mean any neither animal being the one
who has intelligence subdues his self
and works for what's coming after death
and part of this learning all of this in
Charlotte is Armin Lehmann about the
molten Chama learning because learning
any signs of the Dean is for a fella
it's not for dunya although it has dunya
application is for Ashura so you should
consider in Java all of this that s
event of law you know to consider in
shallow that Allah will give you reward
for it and it's for your eyes that are
not for your dunya and so that's the one
who has intelligence subdue the self and
work for what's after death and
inshallah that's what we're going to do
here for this month and people in
shallow they'll be benefit for all of us
and see ya unless you have dollars here
so people who have questions especially
concerning v matters and
like that you know he's much aa good
resource for us while we're here and
then inshallah when the other teachers
come about halfway through other things
will happen so hopefully you know this
will be just a harmonious month United
what I would warn all of us against
myself first is not wasting our time in
frivolous talk the Prophet said cutting
along with a comma beta will con will
cut about the suit ad what you're buying
that Allah dislikes for you empty talk
and too much questioning and wasting
