0:04 Okay. So as I was telling h we are saying through the introduction of hadith. Okay. I told you all that dean primarily comes from two main sources. There are other things that's a whole different thing. You will learn that later inshallah. But primarily most important there are two things. Quran hadith. Okay. the Quran uh the Quran and how do we understand Quran by taps and everything that you all will have in through the ways of hadith. Okay. But can we understand Quran and Hadith the way we want? Okay. We read the ayat and we interpret it however we want more hadith also be it hadith be it the ayat of the Quran the way we understand it is the understanding of the sahabi.
0:49 Okay. How they understood the Quran. How did Okay. I want everyone to have notebook and pen. Okay. Don't sit empty-handed. Important. Okay. Like I was telling it is very important that we understand the religion of Islam. How the Sahabas have understood the religion of Islam because they were the ones who loved Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam the most. They were the ones who were given the glad tidings of Jenna in this dunya itself. That is they were told they will attain ja and what uh they they are mentioned in the Quran. How is it? How are they mentioned in the Quran? Allah subhanaa tala tells that Allah is pleased with them they are pleased with Allah subhana wa tala and sallallahu alaihi wasallam told in a hadith okay we'll see what is hadith
1:34 we'll see that he told in a hadith that be upon the de I'm just telling the not the exact wording okay when see when I tell had some people do not know the exact words of hadith so what is it called it's called as maf to the effect what is the meaning intended by that hadith so I'm just telling the meaning of the hadith The exact wording sallallahu alaihi wasallam told in one hadith that dean be upon the correct thing. What is the correct dean? That upon which I am there and the three best generations after me. What are the three best generations? The generation of the sahabas. The generation after the sahabas that is called as and the generation after the isabi means followers. Sahabas followers of the sahabas followers of the followers of
2:19 the sahabas. These are the three best generations that Rasool sallallahu alaihi wasallam told to follow the religion of because they understood the dean the way it had to be understood. Okay. But how do we understand all these things? That is when we look through the sunnah. We look through the hadith, look through their lives and biographies. We understand how they understood the dean, how they implemented it and how they preached it. Okay. Now, if you'll remember yesterday, I told you all I gave you all an example. I told you actions are based upon their intention. Now when it comes to hadith there are two things okay there are two types of hadith regarding hadith that is knowledge of hadith there are two types
3:05 okay you have ria and al da okay don't get confused I'll explain okay now what is ria and what is da write it down if you can have a board okay you have something called as ria write in English don't write in Arabic don't worry about it and something called as da. Now what is this uh hadith and hadith da? Okay, like I told you all yesterday, one minute. Okay, for example, I told you uh now let's say there is one hadith. This is not the this thing Omar bin reported from Abu Bakr
3:53 that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam told this is one part of the hadith. Second part what did prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam tell that verily actions are dependent upon their intentions. Now this starting part which I told Omar told from Abu Bakr that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam told this is the chain of narrators. This is called as okay that is hadith this part and it is also called as sanut means what chain of narration okay is it getting confusing or are you able to understand you all didn't understand please ask okay so d is what this part of the
4:41 hadith where you're getting the list of narrators of who informed from whom like I I gave you an example fat told from Ali that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said this entire list of who told from who and ultimately that chain reaching to prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam this is called as is and learning this is called as clear you all understood what is you all understood Isnad same thing. Okay. It is a list of narrators who give us the narration of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. The list of the people who informed us the wordings of sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Okay. Then coming to the second part.
6:04 Okay. So understood. Coming to the other part I told what is this part? What is the wording of rasool sallallahu alaihi wasallam? That is the text. The main text of the hadith is called as ria. Okay, this is the this is hadith is made up of two things. One is san, one is the actual text. Sanad and matan. Matutan. You all remember I took yesterday. What is matan? Text. Okay. Hadith is made up of two things. Sanad and matan. Sanad is what? List of narrators. The chain of narration. The people who narrated that reaches to prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Then what is m the text? What did prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
6:51 say? Like I said that this part of the hadith is called as okay. So this is the is called as that is another part of uh uh knowledge which all will study in later classes inshallah. What we are studying is inshallah in this year what are we studying the m part. Okay. What is what did prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam intend from this hadith? What are the explanations of this hadith? What are the benefits derived from this hadith? And how can we implement it? How to understand it? That part we'll be studying. That is the ria part inshallah. Clear so far confusing yes no okay one more thing uh before I go here you all must understand. Okay. What is hadith? We'll come to the
7:36 definition of hadith. Then I'll come to the etiquette. Okay. What is hadith? Okay. I'll tell the definition in Arabic first. Those who can write it, write. Those who cannot, I'll tell it in English. Okay. Definition of hadith. I would have written okay those who cannot write no problem English I'll write inspe
8:38 Okay, I'll explain this in English inshallah then you will understand. Okay. Hadith refers to everything everything that has been attributed to prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Okay. Everything that has been connected back to prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Attributed means connected back to sallallahu alaihi wasallam. From means statements. From statements means actions. What did prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam do? Okay. Statements is what whatever prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam told from his wording. Whatever he said, commanded, prohibited, do this, do that. All those things come under statements of sallallahu alaihi wasallam. That is actions. What did prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam do? Some of the sahabas narrated prophet did this, prophet did that. I saw prophet doing this. So it is the actions of
9:26 sallallahu alaihi wasallam. What is means silent approvals. Okay, that is something would happen in front of sallallahu alaihi wasallam but he would not stop. Okay, he would he would not stop. He would let it happen. That is silent approval. That is if some obviously if something wrong is happening in front of sallallahu alaihi wasallam. If someone is doing haram will prophet stay silent no he will tell that this is haram this is wrong don't do it. But if prophet was silent while something was happening in front of him it is called as takar silent approval. For example, uh there is a state there is a hadith where prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam told prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam once he saw a dream and
10:11 he heard the footsteps of who is bal anyone the first okay so he heard the footsteps of inah so when he woke up he went to bilal and he asked yeah bilal what is it that you do of action that I could hear your footsteps in Jenna told I do not do much but every time I do voodoo I I perform two raas after it. It is called asu. Okay. Even though this is not something prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to do it is not from the sunnah of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam but when told that I do such and such action that is the moment I do buddhoo I pray two rakas of um two rakas of salah immediately after it prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam approved it okay he
10:57 didn't tell it is wrong don't do it no so this is called as takar silent approvals of sallallahu alaihi wasallam so so far what did we get in the definition everything that has been attributed to rasool sallallah Wasallam from statements, actions, silent approvals or an attribute. Now what do I mean by attribute? Description of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Okay. And description of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam are in two ways. Two things are there. One is how he used to look. Okay. Means the character of one is character of sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Okay. How was his mannerisms? How he used to deal with uh the people in the house, how he used to deal with his business, how he used to deal with enemies, everything
11:44 the character of sallallahu alaihi wasallam and that is that is called as then regarding the looks. Okay, looks how prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to look. Okay, what was his height or how was his hair? How were his eyes? So the looks and there is a whole entire book regarding the looks of prophet sallallahu alaihi. So again I'll repeat the definition. Everything that has been attributed to sallallahu alaihi wasallam from statements or actions or silent approvals or an attribute that is either character or looks. Got it? Understood what is hadith? Understood the two things that makes up a hadith. What are
12:29 the two things that make up a hadith? Ria and da. That is in simple terms what do you tell mat and loudly san what is san chain of narration. What is matan? The text of what prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us. Okay. Okay. And what are the two primary sources of the religion of Islam? Quran and Quran and Sunnah. And uh how do we understand this Quran and Sunnah? by our own selves according to whom? Prophets uh the Sahabah. Okay. Okay. Now what is the benefit of knowing this knowledge? Why are we learning
13:15 hadith? Okay. What is the need for us to learn hadith? First is first and the four most important benefit is in order to implement the Sharia in order to implement the Sharia and to follow sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Okay. So if you want to know for example um Allah subhanaa tala tells in the Quran is salah establish salah pray the prayer but do we know how many times to pray in the Quran it is not mentioned how many times are we supposed to pray or in the Quran it is not told how exactly to pray when to pray what are the timings of prayer all this is not mentioned where is it mentioned in the a hadith of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam okay and one more thing hadith is singular form the plural of it is a
14:01 hadith okay so don't refer refer to it as hadith like you know in English how we do no hadith singular a hadith plural okay so like I said benefit of learning hadith what is the first one in order to live according to the shar and know its rulings okay what is the example salah okay in the Quran Allah orders and commands us to perform salah but where do we understand how to pray how many times a day to pray that we understand from the hadith and the sunnah of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam Second benefit, it is an important source of legislation. Third, to understand the Quran.
14:47 Okay, like I said, the same thing, same example, salah or for example, uh the punishment of the thieves who steal. Okay, in the Quran, it is told that whoever steals or whoever commits the cut their hands. But how much to cut the hand? one full hand till elbow go. What is the that we get in the sunnah of sallallahu alaihi wasallam? We get from the hadith that the thief's hand whoever steals their hands must be cut up to the wrist. How? So how do we understand this ayah like you know this command in the Quran? Through the way of hadith that is why we are learning hadith. Okay. Okay. Now since we understood what is hadith, the definition of hadith, what are the benefits of learning hadith, now we all must understand how you as a
15:33 student should be in uh terms of the subject. Because see one is the speech of Allah subhanana wa ta'ala. And see if I ask any of you who amongst you loves Allah subhanana wa ta'ala. Is there anyone who will tell I do not love Allah? No. Everyone will tell that I love Allah subhana wa ta'ala. If I ask who amongst you loves prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam each one of you will tell that you love rasool sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Every Muslim will tell even you ask a child they'll tell I love Allah I love rasool but how much are we living up to this claim of ours just if you love someone truly dearly and you know you prioritize them and you keep them above everything else their speech what they say what they command becomes the most beloved thing to you correct now if you have a friend that you love the most whatever she tells you wait for
16:19 her message you wait for her text you reply back immediately you want to talk to her similarly if you claim that you love Allah subhanana wa ta'ala you love sallallahu alaihi wasallam you must love their speech as well. So first and foremost the speech of Allah subhana wa tala the Quran and after the after the speech of Allah subhanana wa ta'ala comes the speech of sallallahu alaihi wasallam and why is this important and the most beloved to us because we love rasool one thing second even the statements of rasool sallallahu alaihi wasallam is a revelation from Allah subhana wa ta'ala because Allah says in the Quran that rasool does not speak from his own accord okay he does not speak on his own whatever he speaks is a revelation and inspiration from Allah the And he never spoke lie, never spoke bad, never spoke ill, nothing. Everything he
17:06 spoke was from Allah. The revelation was from Allah and it was not influenced by shaitan. Okay. That is why after the speech of Allah subhanana wa ta'ala is the most uh after the speech of Allah being the most beloved. Second comes the speech of sallallahu alaihi wasallam. That has to be the most beloved and the most important speech to us. Okay. What did sallallahu alaihi wasallam say? How did he live his life? How did he deal with his people? What did he say regarding Islam? And we know that why are we created? Allah created us. What is the purpose of the fact that you're breathing and alive? Because we want to worship Allah. Okay? That is why Allah created us. Now imagine you create a product. Okay? You make a product and you want you create
17:51 it with a purpose. For example, let's say you create a machine because you want your house to be clean always. Okay? But that machine does not do the job you created that machine for. It is not cleaning your house properly. What will you do with the machine? You'll keep it. Okay? You'll honor it. No, you will just throw it away. This is of no use. You'll throw it away. But Allah subhana wa ta'ala despite the fact that he created us only to worship him. But we doing everything else but that. We are doing everything else. Every other business, every other sin we are doing, we're following. We are not woriing Allah subhanaa tala. We deserves to be woripped. But still Allah did not throw us away. Allah did not take our lives telling that these are useless people. Allah has still kept us. Alhamdulillah. And Allah has brought us here. So we
18:36 learn about him. So we learn about his rasool. So we learn about the various things that the dean holds. Okay. So we are blessed to come here and to learn to seek knowledge to get closer to Allah subhana wa ta'ala. This is a journey. You're a stairway towards Jenna. So Allah brought us here even though we were sinning. Even though we were not worshiping Allah the way he had to be worshiped still Allah brought us here alhamdulillah. Okay. So like I told there is no speech more beloved to a believer after the speech of Allah than the speech of his messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. And through hadith through a hadith we come to know the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Okay. If you truly love prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam you would want to know how who is prophet how did he look? Okay. And uh through it
19:22 we come to know how did prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam worship how did he speak what was the mannerisms of the way he speak you know the scholars of hadith we are common people as of now we are common people once we seek lot of knowledge inshallah may make us scholars I mean but you know the scholars of hadith who are spec who specialized in the science of hadith who know they sit and wake up knowing the words of sallallahu alaihi wasallam they their entire day is about learning about the words of statements of soolah Okay, I think Muhammad humble if you all are familiar with him. He had told that once he went somewhere cafe not cafe to a restaurant or something and he saw there was a huge poster on the wall telling sallallahu alaihi wasallam the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said and then there was
20:08 some lot of hadith narration but then when Muhammad Muhammad he saw this hadith him they realized that this is not the statement of sallallahu alaihi wasallam they told this is fabricated hadith or a weak hadith there are levels of hadith okay you have strongly authentic you have good and then you have weak then there are some hadith that is fabricated people make of hadith. How was the how was that scholar able to identify that this is not the statement of sallallahu alaihi wasallam because of how much they specialized in that field? How much they heard the hadith? How much they learned the hadith? They understood the way of the speaking of soolah. You getting my point? That is how we should learn hadith to know that that love for rasool. Okay? That love you claim to have for that has to come in your knowledge that has to come in your
20:53 actions. Okay? So imagine the people the scholars of hadith they are able to identify they don't have to search in internet they don't have to see the isnah they will read and they will understand that this is not rasool's hadith why because they because of various hadith they memorize there are scholars memorize one lakh hadith there are scholars one lakh 4,000 40,000 50,000 memorized by heart okay like quoted okay because they know the way prophet speaks because so many hadith so many statements they learn they know the way the way of speech of so the moment they would see they would understand whether this is fabricated hadith or a hadith of okay that is how we should strive to become can't become perfect but we can try at least right okay okay and like I
21:40 told when we study hadith we are not just reading historical reports not like okay one old man from olden time he's saying something no that is not why we are learning hadith okay rather you should feel like you're sitting in the company of sillah you know um there was a man uh I'm not sure who must be the author of this book only but I'm not exactly sure um he used to not mingle with people a lot okay he used to be on his on his own reading the books just seeking knowledge studying that's it he's living eating how much he wants to live drinking how much keeps him alive and he's just studying and reading that's it and he doesn't go out with people socialize with people nothing so some people came and asked don't you feel lonely okay Don't you feel lonely? All you do, you do not have friends. You
22:26 do not have family. All you sit and study and you know you by yourself. So he told how can I be alone when my companion is Allah is rasool and the sahabas. Why? Because in his books what is he learning the statements of sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He and in the hadith we will see the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam sat with the sahabas. He asked the sahabas. The sahabas responded. So he used to feel like he was in the company of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam. like he was in that gathering where the hadith is being taught and told. Okay, we should feel like that when you are sitting here in the classes of you know especially any subject for that matter is important but especially Talim Quran your word to word or the hadith the statements of sallallahu alaihi wasallam you all must pay immense attention even if you're sleepy go wash
23:11 your face come and sit okay keep a water bottle anything but do not feel sleepy one thing second do not be distracted talk amongst yourself laugh no because this is a serious matter you cannot not be disrespecting the knowledge that is coming to you. You cannot be disrespecting the statement of sallallahu alaihi wasallam. If there was an important person for example you all are aware of Hanaman right Hod no I don't think you all know you might have seen her um yesterday she had taken class before shy okay so she's the h okay now if you all are to go and speak in front of if she's to come and speak to you would you cut her off in between no you'd be scared of her because she has certain position she
23:56 has a certain authority and she's yeah So you can't speak above her. You cannot cut off her speech. You cannot raise your voice against her. No, there is a certain amount even principal boss or any of such authoritative authoritative people. You speak properly. You're mindful of your speech. Similarly, when the hadith of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is being recited, is being read out in the class, is being explained in the class, it is not right of you to sit and talk amongst yourself. It's not right for you to laugh because it is the wordings of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam direct wordings. Okay. And the science you all have a subject called as mustal hadith that is um what to say hadith the it's a different science where you understand how was hadith compiled what is the level of
24:42 authenticity very in depth you will learn in that subject okay you all must understand that scholars have put in a lot because pro because Allah subhanaa tala told that this religion is protected by Allah subhanaa tala just like how Quran is unchanged for so many years similarly the scholars have made the sahabas us and whoever compiled the hadith they made sure that not every person who is reciting who is transmitting the hadith is reliable okay so much so that if a person was seen uh to have any bad conduct anything even the minorest of thing okay maybe they didn't lie or they just told something that was wrong they would not accept hadith from such people okay so hadith is preserved in a very nice way okay the authentic hadith they are preserved in
25:29 such a way that you cannot doubt its wording. It is directings of himself what he said. Okay. And even if scholars were to add something, they would write this is not the wording of hadith. This is the wording of the scholar. Okay? As you all will learn, you all will understand inshallah. But you just for you all to understand the weight of what you're going to receive. That is why I'm telling this inshallah. Okay? And before and all the sahabas, the righteous predecessors, the scholars that time it was very difficult to hear even one hadith. But they would travel and travel for months, three months, four months in that desert, in that heat with limited supplies. They would travel just to understand one hadith just to understand, just to hear one hadith, just to understand if this hadith is authentic or not. And here we are getting 40, 100, 200, so many hadith and
26:17 explanation we getting just like that. Alhamdulillah, it's a great blessing. Okay. And uh again one minute. So regarding the etiquets of student of hadith. Okay. When you're studying hadith, you are a student of hadith. So what are the etiquets that you need to have? First and foremost, sincerity, your lasas. Renew your intention. Why are you sitting here? Is it because your parents sent you here? Is it because you don't have anything else to do? That is why you came and sat here. What is the purpose of your sitting in this class? Okay, you're doing so. I told you all the benefits of learning hadith. Remind yourself of that. Every person is in need of renewing intention every single day. Even the greatest of greatest scholars struggled with intention. Okay? Even as we are teaching, we struggle with
27:02 intention. But what is upon us? We keep on renewing our intention. Okay? So first is lasas. Okay. Why are you seeking? For the sake of Allah alone. Because you love sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Because you want to know about sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Because you want to know how it is that he was speaking. How was he living his life? How was he worshiping Allah subhanana wa ta'ala? And we know that prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam how was his mannerisms exactly like the Quran. Okay, he was the implementation of the Quran. So if you understand him, we understand the religion. So first is sincerity. Okay, your intention must be uh sincere. Second, respect for the hadith of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
27:49 Okay. So don't be lethargic in class falling on the desk sitting like this and like that. Sit properly. Humble and be humble. Don't feel proud that I am the one seeking knowledge. I'm getting this knowledge. No, you're not getting this knowledge. Allah is giving you even though we not deserve it. Allah is giving us this knowledge. So second is respect for the hadith of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Third, humility. Like I said, humility. Knowledge always enters only a heart that is humble. If it is a heart that is filled with arrogance, with pride and what is pride not just you know having that bo pride if you have to define it when the huck reaches you when the truth reaches you you do not accept you turn away from it. That is pride because you think you're too good for this. You're
28:35 not accepting. Okay. So if the huck reaches you, you are you know the knowledge reaches you. Music is haram but you're not leaving this. The knowledge reaches you that talking to a boy is haram but you're not stopping talking to a boy. So what is this pride given? Why? Because your the hut has reached you. The truth has reached you. The knowledge has reached you but you are turning away from it because of your desires. That is also pride. A form of pride. So you should have a humble heart because a knowledge does not enter a heart that is boastful and prideful. An arrogant heart it never enters. Fourth etiquette patience. Know that the path of knowledge is very long. Okay? Sometimes very tiring, sometimes very hard, but it is one of those journeys that is the most beautiful journey. Okay?
29:23 And like I said even the greatest of the greatest scholars they had to strive so hard they you know blood sweat tears whatever they went through everything to gain this knowledge and spread this knowledge. We are sitting in AC room. Alhamdulillah we are studying in much much comfort but they struggled a lot. Okay. So you need a lot of patience. Okay. If you do not understand something do is if you do not understand a har go and ask the teacher again. If you're still not able to understand then do pray go do pray to ask Allah's help but seek help but do it okay you need patience because the path of knowledge is tiring also it is long also but once you get the sweetness of it you will never want to leave it and do not leave it until and unless you get the
30:09 sweetness of it. Okay, fifth one acting upon what is learned. Whatever hadith you learn be it of the smallest of small thing or the biggest of big thing try to implement it at least once. Okay, try to implement it at least one. There was one scholar, one righteous person who used to say that I tried implementing every hadith that I heard at least once. So I can tell Allah subhanana wa ta'ala that I implemented on whatever knowledge that reached me. So if you're not cons, it is important to be consistent but if you find it difficult the moment you hear it do it that moment itself. So at least once you have completed the obligation of having implemented on it and then try try after that also to continue. So acting upon what is learned the purpose of knowledge is action. Okay. Always
30:55 remember the purpose of action is know uh purpose of knowledge is action. If you do not act upon your knowledge that knowledge will leave you. Always remember. Okay. Sixth good character. Sixth is good character. See when you become a student of knowledge you become different from the common people. Okay common Muslims when like I I don't know if I told here or in the other class but when you are seeking knowledge you become from the inheritors of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam inheritors of the prophets. Okay they did not leave behind dinina or they left behind knowledge and whoever attains knowledge has attained the inheritance of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. So that is
31:41 what you're going to carry. So when you carry the inheritance of prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam you become different from the common people. Okay. What is see for them it will be okay. If they do something they can go they can go away with it but for you it won't become for example praying your 12A. Okay. What is before two plus two ra before and two ra after then two ra after two ra after after isha these are the 12 sunat for normal people if they do not pray it's okay they can get away with it it's sunnah okay it's not like when don't act upon sun you're sinful it's only about
32:26 but for a student of knowledge you should make sure that you Make it obligatory upon yourself. Not because Islam made it obligated because you are learning the knowledge of the prophets and they for them such things they used to not leave it. Prophet never left Sunnah unless there was something that really came they would never leave. It was compulsory upon prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Okay. So for the common people if they wake up if they don't wake up no problem. But as students of knowledge, as someone who is gaining and seeking knowledge, if you are not waking up for tajuk, then your knowledge is of no benefit. Okay. Similarly, there was one imam, he went to stay in a person's house. This person was a student of hadith. Used to study the science of hadith. So he noticed that there was a bowl of water
33:11 kept. Okay? And that time they used to not have tap and everything. So when he woke up the next day he saw that the bowl of water is exactly like that when he woke up for like it means that no one did boo in it the water is exactly that same amount. So he asked him did you not wake up for tajjud? He told no. So he told what is wrong with you? You call yourself a student of hadith and you're not even praying your tahajjud. He was astonished. He could not think of it. Okay. So what about our sunnah? What about our normal salars? Correct. We have to perfect it because if that is not the case then and we are not student of just one science of one subject. We are student of we student of taps. We student of hadith hadith. many subjects we have so despite getting all these knowledge if that is not improving
33:57 your IA then that knowledge is of no benefit I myself fall short okay it's not like we are perfect okay there are days I do everything there are days I do nothing only for that I'm doing okay everyone has their imperfect iman goes up and down sometimes your iman is very high sometimes your iman is very low sometimes your sins are many sometimes yourat are many okay but when we have knowledge we know how who go back to Allah subhanaa tala we must realize that we have to get up we can't be in that low the problem is not that you fall because we all fall we are human beings Allah subhana wa tala created human beings weak but to stay in that place where you fallen that is where we go wrong the moment we realize that okay I am down I am low you get up the moment you realize get up make wudoo pray to
34:44 ask Allah subhanaa tala for help because without the of we can't do anything okay so good character you areat everything should be proper. Okay. And see there are many people who become scholars, who become students of knowledge or who memorize thousands of narrations, who memorize Quran. But if you see their character, you do not see anything. There is nothing of what they learned. Okay? The hadith is not being implemented in their character. The ayat are not being implemented in his character. See, we are ambassadors of the religion of Islam. Okay? We are ambassadors of the knowledge that we are seeking. People do not the non-Muslims they do not read the Quran they do not read the hadith they do not know how the Sahabas live they see your character because you're the one seeking knowledge so for them Islam
35:30 is what you do so if you memorize everything you're doing everything thinking that okay falling short is fine ma'am told falling short is fine but your mannerisms towards people are not good people will think that this is Islam because they do not read the Quran they do not read the books of knowledge they see you how has knowledge turned you okay So you need to have good character along with ibad to show what this knowledge is. Not showing off but showing what this knowledge does to a person. Okay. Then seventh listening carefully like I told listen very very attentively when hadith is being taught. No distraction, no interruptions, no unnecessary speed. See I am lenient when I have to be. But if I find anyone see it that you have to respect teachers
36:15 that is there. Okay. But I never call my students to respecting me. I call towards students respecting the knowledge. So if in my class I find anyone talking, giggling, laughing, not listening to class, I won't think for a moment before sending you out of class. Okay? Because that will be a disrespect to the knowledge and you must know the consequences of disrespecting it. Okay? So even if it's what to say be ready for if you have if you want a pen, if you want a pencil, you want scale, you want it is ask before the class and sit in between class. I won't ask what did you talk what did she tell no if you have to talk talk to me otherwise listen carefully to what is being taught it's not like I'll be always tricked okay we'll have fun interaction session and everything in if yall are giggling when this topic is serious I'll send you a lot to splash because yall are not kids
37:02 will get distracted y'all are not kids you all are big people okay so avoid distractions interruptions and unnecessary uh speech and the scholars have always told they've considered attentive listening to be half of the knowledge you know When you listen to knowledge, how you should listen as though that this is the only time you're going to listen to it. Okay? That is you have to listen so attentively like you are trying to remember it. Like if you listen attentively then later see notes you have to take down notes all that is there but first important thing is you're listening very carefully to what the teacher is telling. Okay. And how you should listen in a way that you know that next time I will never hear this ever again. So it should be registered in your mind. Okay, that attentiveness should come and it
37:47 won't come without the help of Allah subhanaa. So make dua, seek help, you know, ask dua, seek the ti of Allah subhana wa t'ala and then do it. We will fall short. I won't tell that we won't fall short. We will but keep making dua. Then eighth, recording and reviewing knowledge. Knowledge is preserved by the way of writing and revising. Okay. So write the beneficial points, important points and revise regular. Go through the book. Don't keep it. Don't pile it up for the day before exam. Okay, we all make intention in the beginning. Okay, I won't pile up and at the end of the time before exam only. Sorry. Don't do that. You're not studying. This is not like any other degree. This is not your math, science, social studies, your degree,
38:33 your you know PCM or anything like that. Okay? You're not studying for the sake of exams, for the sake of marks. you're studying for the sake of Jenna, the sake of the pleasure of Allah subhana wa ta'ala. So every day you'll have to revise your okay then last make dua for beneficial knowledge. What is what is this beneficial knowledge? Knowledge that you are able to implement that is called as beneficial knowledge. Okay. So knowledge is a gift from Allah subhana wa ta'ala and it is the one thing that Allahh commanded rasool to ask. Okay. Allah did not command rasool to ask increase in wealth, increase in followers, increase in kingdom, nothing. Allah commanded only of one thing.
39:19 Ask what? Oh Allah increase me in knowledge. That dua Allah taught prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Only one thing Allah told to ask increase in it. What is it? Knowledge. So knowledge is a gift from Allah subhanana wa ta'ala. So ask Allah for beneficial knowledge. Okay. The book we are studying inshallah is going to be. Okay. The 40 hadith of Imah. In the next class we will see an introduction to the book and the biography of the author and then we'll begin with the hadith inshallah. So next class I would prefer that you all have your textbooks. Okay. Go to the library, buy your books, whatever you have to buy, list is given, right? So in the next class, I will prefer you have your books inshallah.
40:05 Okay.
