salutations upon his messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and upon his family and upon his companions today is going to be a very long day in terms of the amount of material that we have to cover we have a lot of material to cover and it's going to be pretty intense in the sense that if we want to cover all of the things that we've got down in this book it's going to take us a little bit of effort in Sharla I think you guys already know more or less than the house rules the class rules so to speak I have no problem whatsoever with questions and and and feedback in sha Allah and things you don't understand but what I would ask you to do is to split things into two if there's something that I say that you don't understand at all I've just said it and you have no idea what I'm talking about you can put your hand up in the middle of the class and just for that particular thing but if there are questions that you want to ask later on just make a little note of them and then at the end of the session we leave some time for questions insha'Allah so I don't mind being interrupted for what do you mean by this or I didn't understand what you just said or can you repeat that for me but inshallah we'll leave the questions until the end to be in a light on our first session is called an introduction to al-qaeda an introduction to al-qaeda now because this is all about Ikeda I thought the first thing we're going to have to do is to talk about what Arpita is because this is not an English word it's an Arabic word and so we have to sort of define what this word means and whenever we talk about words in the Sharia in Islam we talk about words from one of two different angles okay so whenever we talk about what does the prayer what does Salah mean what does hatch mean what does Psalm mean what does zakah mean we talk about these words from two different angles the first thing that we're going to talk about is the linguistic meaning the meaning in the language of the Arabs and then we're going to talk about the meaning in the Sharia the meaning in the language of the Arabs and then the meaning in the Sharia now this is best explained with an example so let me give you an example let's pick the word zakah if I was to ask anyone of you what circa is you'd probably say it's a percentage of your wealth that you give and your excess wealth that you've held for a year you give it you know and and it's taken on wealth and it's taken on it's taken on crops and it's taken on certain other things as well gold and silver what-have-you that's fine from the point of the Sharia but zakah has a meaning in the language of the Arabs so the car in the language of the Arabs means to purify it means to increase and it means to to put a blessing or to have a blessing in something that's a purely linguistic meaning it's not a meaning that comes from the Sharia it's just the meaning in the language of the Arabs so when we talk about any word in Arabic we're going to talk about what it means in Arabic as a general word and then we're going to talk about what it means in the Sharia example another example Salah the word Salah means dua in Arabic Salam means duaa but the Salah that we know in the Sharia is more than just do I it's a set of actions that begin with technically rom and they finish with Testament they have a set of sort of defined actions that you have to do this is what we call Salah in the Sharia so the point is that words in the Sharia of Islam they have a background from the point of the language and they have a background from the point of the religion so when we come to a Peter let's have a look at what this word al-qaeda actually means well al-qaeda comes like all words in Arabic come from a root and and to give you an an example of a root if you think about in English necessity necessary unnecessary necessarily what do you notice about all these words in English necessity necessarily necessary and unnecessary what you notice about all these words in English someone tell me it's not a difficult question I'm not asking to you know explain what they mean anything what you notice about the words they all sound similar that's what I'm looking for they all sound similar and they all have a meaning that is got something to do with need and necessity so necessary is something we have to do unnecessary is something this doesn't need to be done a necessity is something a need or something that has to be there and and so on and so forth so they all have a similar meaning not the same meaning but a similar meaning and they all have a similar sound in the middle of the word Arabic is even more obvious in this regard words come from roots and these roots have meanings so the root of the word al-qaeda is a coda and it's written there in front of you al Qaeda and al Qaeda has lots of different meanings that go around it but some of the meanings of ekkada are to tie something I'll rub what we call in Arabic our rub to tie something up and from this is the word in Arabic Oh God who's heard the word occurred before I guarantee every single one of you have heard the word Oh God before I don't believe there's anybody in this room unless they became Muslim yesterday who hasn't heard the word apart women chattering Neff 30 filler Oh God Oh God does anyone know what the translation of women Cheryl in f430 filler pod is roughly from the evil of the women who blow over what not sauropod from the same word is a not something you tie together so akhada one of the meanings of ekkada is to tie something tightly like to knot it or to tie it tightly one in one of the meanings of akhada is Solomon or so for something to become strong and hard and and become like a rock like stone one of the meanings of akhada or its variations is to hold on to something tight at tamasic to hold on to something really tightly you know if you are hanging on the back of a a jetski or something like that and you're holding on really really really tightly this is one of the meanings of Okada one of the meanings of Okada is elliptic curve taking something grabbing something from someone so me taking this and grabbing it towards me this is one of the meanings of Arcada one of the meanings of Okada is to be certain about something to have you clean about something and one of the meanings of ekkada is to affirm something strongly you know something you really like you hold in your heart really strongly you have a really firm belief about it maybe I don't know you believe that Newcastle United is the best football team and you know you hold this is your firm strong belief this is again another meaning of akhada so what I want you guys to do but I'm not going to let you sit there I'm not lying Sharla I'm not gonna let you saw you got you're going to have to have a bit of to that rally a bit of sort of you know give and take here I want to go through each of these linguistic meanings and I want you guys to tell me why you how you think that might relate to a Peter what we believe our beliefs okay so the first one to tie something firmly how do you think that relates to what you believe the stuff you believe as a Muslim you believe in Allah you believe in its messenger you believe in the angels you believe in the books how do you think that that relates to tying something firmly I'll just pick on people if you don't want to answer so it's something like it's as if you you tie yourself on to it you know you hold yourself on to it something you've got very firm you tie yourself on to it what about because something becoming hard and strong it's not easy to break your beliefs are solid and they're not easy they're not easy to break holding on to something tight we said is similar to tying something firmly to take or to grasp something what do we think that how do we think that relates to our belief what we believe is Muslims to take order to grab hold of something these are all related to the same kind of thing that you grab it you hold on to it and you don't let go to be certain about something there's no doubt that the beliefs we're going to talk about the things you have to be certain on our last part Allah says I feel a check is there doubt about Allah do any of you doubt whether our last parent Allah exists whether Allah deserves we will normally doubts whether Allah spent Allah exists nobody doubts whether Allah deserves to be worshipped to affirm something with conviction to really believe in something and that's inshallah the most obvious from some of the words that come from Okada Oh God we said are not tallied it means determination Allah sparked Allah says Allah does not take you to account for the level then the sort of light.this sort of speech that you may when you make a promise and you just make a bit of random you know you say something and you don't really mean Allah doesn't take you to account for the mistakes that you make when you make a promise but Allah takes you to account be mad turmoil amen for this the things that you have tallied in the things that your you know your your you affirm with conviction you say I really you know this is something I I believe and it's a hard which is what we're talking about today at akkad is another word for a leader and it a part is your firm beliefs and your convictions so now we've understood that from the point of the language of the Arabs what is a leader in the religion of Islam unlike some other words in Islam are clear that doesn't have a meaning that is any different to the meaning in the Arabic language so the meaning of a leader in the Sharia is exactly the same as the meaning of our Peter in the Arabic language the beliefs that we grab and hold on to things we remain firm and strong upon things we tie ourselves to things we link ourselves to in English we call a leader creed fundamental beliefs core beliefs whatever you want to call it the things you believe the basic beliefs of Islam the core beliefs of Islam the fundamentals of Islam these are all things that we use in English for al-qaeda now there are different scholars who defined al-qaeda in Islam and they try to explain to us in a simple way what up leader is in Islam so a share head falls on javi the whole outer Allah he said a peda is the six pillars of faith to believe in Allah his angels his books his messengers the last day and to believe in predestination the good and the bad this is one of the definitions that share slide ahead phones are available la gives in one of his books on the introduction and the basics of Aikido what do you notice about that definition anyone got any observations I like you know guys I want you to participate yeah so just tell me what you're thinking what do you think when you read that does it sound like it covers everything does it sound like it related to something specific what what is what is he basically equating a pedo with what's he missing making a Peter the same as him am okay so basically he's making up either the same as the pillars of a man now I've written next to this incomplete and that's because even though this is a very good definition of a Peter it's not what we call Jeremy Ron Mannie it doesn't cover every single thing that Aikido covers it covers the majority of Aikido in fact 95% of al-qaeda is going to come down to believing in Allah what you believe about Allah everything from where Allah is to what Allah does to Allah's names Allah's attributes how Allah subhana Allah you know is all sort of the description of a last part of the eyelid that we find of his his attributes and his names in the Quran of the Sunnah and so on and so forth what you believe about the Angels how they were created what their jobs are what their roles are that they don't deserve to be worshipped what you believe about the scripture you believe in the Torah and you believe in the injeel and you believe in the Quran and you believe in the the sort of the scripture of Ibraheem and you believe in the zaboor the son and you believe in all of these in their original form not in the corrupted form that they now take and you believe that the Quran is the speech of a line it's uncreated and all of these things what you believe about the messengers that you believe that they never did the major sins that you believe they were sent by Allah to teach the same message what you believe about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and we're going to talk a little bit about that what you believe about the last day from the moment of death the grave what happens in the grave what happens after death what happens on the day of judgment what happens in general what happens in the Hellfire and what we believe about predestination about cutter the things are decreed by Allah that Allah knows everything that Allah has written everything that Allah creates everything and that our last panel - Allah wills everything so this is these are sort of your majority of what we're going to talk about in the topic of Ikeda some people said and this is one of the Egyptian scholars he said al-qaeda is the six pillars of faith plus our belief about the Companions al-qaeda is the six pillars of faith plus our belief about the Companions so if the definition that was given by sheer force on in that book reached 95% he reached 97% so he covered all of the six pillars of Eman and he added a little bit it also what we believe about the Companions that they were beloved to a large planet ala that all of them are in gender that all of them are were you know that all of them were trustworthy and honest that they didn't betray the prophets or I said them that they didn't disbelieve after Islam and Eman and so on and so forth that they are of different types that there are some of them who were very very very high in the site of a last part Allah in comparison to others that Abu Bakr is the best of them and then Armour and then ours man and so he added these beliefs in as well one of the more comprehensive definitions of Ikeda that covers everything like a hundred percent of what a leader covers is to say ugly there are those matters which are believed in with certainty and conviction those things that you believe in with certainty not like those things that well I had a look at the issue and I thought about it and I think in sha allah the correct answer is not these kind of issues these things that you have no doubt about your certain over in your heart and soul and I've made this in bold to show you that the place of your Arpita is the heart they are the arc either the place of our keys are the base of your repeater this the core of your leader is what you put in your heart imagine your heart is a box and you put into that box those things that you are certain about in Islam that you believe with certainty and that you believe that it's not permissible to have any disagreement over you put them in that box that you're certain of this is your Ikeda they are not tainted with any doubt or uncertainty and the last definition is the one that I prefer of the definitions and I think it's the most calm pensive and probably the one that is the most II or the easiest of the definitions to understand and that is those matters which are known from the Koran and the sound a hadith meaning we didn't pick them out of the newspaper we didn't pick them out of our you know sort of reflection our thinking we didn't pick them after a moment of spirituality we didn't take them from a dream we took them from the Koran and from the authentic Sunnah of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa seldom which the muslim must believe in his heart a Muslim must believe in them so there are some things that we found from the Quran and the Sunnah that we sort of you know issues of halal and Haram but the issues that a Muslim must believe in his heart in order to acknowledge the truth of a lioness messenger so in order for you to say that you have acknowledged the truth of Islam in order for you to say that you believe Islam and you believe all you believe in Islam and that you believe in Allah and that you believe in his messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam there are some things from the Quran and from the sound hadith that you have to have in your heart to say that you have believed properly in Allah and his messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam and these things are what we call our Ikeda so yes the majority of them are going to relate to the six pillars of faith but there are issues of the Companions there are issues about our belief about obedience to the ruler and there are many many other sort of small issues here and there that we're going to pick out that don't fall into these things in the next section I talked that or I mentioned that our Peter does not stop in the heart it starts from it and the meaning of this is some people when you talk about the heart they might get the impression well if I am sort of putting these issues or believing in these things I believe in Allah believe in His Messenger so I said I believe in the Angels I believe in the states of the Companions I even that we have to obey those in authority and so on and so forth that's me complete is a Muslim know that is that you have put the base you've put the core you've put where it starts it starts from your heart but then the body has to fall into line and for this I die hard II Thomason jure of allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam if I'm not mistaken is the hadith of a normal in Russia but that's just for memory indeed in the body there is a piece of flesh if it is upright the whole body will be upright and if it is corrupt the whole body will be corrupt indeed it is the heart so the heart is the beginning that's where you put your beliefs that's the box you put your beliefs in and then the rest of the body if the heart is right and you put the right beliefs in there and you put the right sincerity in there and you put the following of the Sunnah of the Prophet so I sell them in there then inshallah you will start to see that the body is going to fall into line with what is in the heart because there is a link between what is in your heart and what your body does we don't believe that the heart is the place of Eman and that Eman doesn't go outside of the heart this is the belief of the mogea this is the belief of people who are not upon the right ikeda when they said that a man right resides only in the heart and there is nothing about a man on your I knew actions and in your beliefs and they said the Eman is like a light switch you switch it on or you switch it off you either have it or you don't but that's not the case Eman is shown in your actions and Eman goes up and it goes down and this is the Aikido balasana so for example you know that's another example of something that comes outside of the six pillars of faith so here we say that the Ikeda starts in the heart and the effects of that are peda and the effects of that Eman are seen on the body and in the actions and in fact your actions are themselves in line your actions are Eman and increase your Eman and this is very clear from the Quran when allah subhanaw taala says when i can Allah julio de manikkam allah was not going to cause your Eman to be lost Allah was not going to cause your Eman to be lost and this is said in regard to the changing of the pitlor so Allah talks about the changing of the pitlor moving from one way to another and he calls that action Eman so your actions are Eman and they increase your email so the point is our Ikeda is what we put in our heart and you see the effects of your Arpita and the effects of your Eman on in your actions and upon your turn why is a leader so important why is a leader so important first of all our Peter defines you as a Muslim go outside and gather together a hundred Muslims from around Keithley Bradford you know Halifax wherever you want to go do you think all of those every single one of them says I'm a Muslim do you think they all have the same kind of beliefs they all have the same kind of sort of the way they approach Islam is the same no and that's why your Arcadia is what really defines you you know anyone can say I'm a Muslim you get a card eonni who believes in a prophet after the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam who says i'm a muslim you get a she area rapidly who believes that all of the companions betrayed the prophets of our i sell em except for 12 or except for seven or whatever it may be and believes that the quran is incomplete and believes that it has mistakes in it and believes that gibreel betrayed the trust by giving the Quran to Muhammad so I sell them and not giving it to I lead or the alarm and and he says I'm a Muslim so anyone can say that there are Muslim regardless of how evil their beliefs are regardless of how far away from they are from Islam anybody can say I'm a Muslim but the question is what really defines you as a Muslim is your core beliefs not really whether you put your hands on your chest or on your navel whether you raise your hands or not this defines you as a Muslim in a certain specific sense but what really defines you as a more as a Muslim before everything else are the beliefs that you put in your heart so those beliefs are the first thing that actually describes you and defines you as a Muslim and that's why when someone says to you what kind of Muslim are you you're going to begin to explain your beliefs you're not going to say I'm a Muslim prays five times a day you're not going to say I'm a Muslim who raises my finger in the tisha hood you're going to say I'm a Muslim follows the Quran and the Sunna upon the guidance of the Companions radiyaallahu anhu so this sort of concept is very very very important that it defines you as a Muslim all the messengers began by teaching al Qaeda al Qaeda was the first thing that every single prophet taught that's why we describe all of the prophets as being Muslim because there was no difference between the prophets in their arcader the difference between the prophets was in the Halal and in the Haram we know that a silencer on says as Allah mentions in the Quran whether you're hill alaikum baba lady harima alaikum I've come to make halal for you some of the things that were Haram for you in Ikeda halal for you to worship a grave when you never used to worship a grave hell out for you to make sajda to an idol when you never used to make such a to an idol know the things that ISA came to make halal that were Haram things like food things like types of drink things like types of acts of worship but not in the core beliefs the core beliefs of the messengers alayhimu salat wa salam were all exactly the same the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he spent 13 years in makkah in that 13 years in Makkah how for how long were people praying five times a day two years for how long were people fasting how long were people giving zakah the cow wasn't even revealed for how long were people performing the Hajj the Hajj wasn't revealed so what were people doing for 13 years in Makkah if they only started praying five times a day towards the very very very end of that 13 years the last couple of years what were they doing before that what was the prophet sallallaahu idea was seldom doing for the first ten years of that 13 or the first 11 years of that 13 there was no hijab there was no five times daily prayer there was no fasting in Ramadan there was no Hajj there was no zakah what was he doing in that 10 years or 11 years or 12 years all of it was teaching Ikeda correcting the beliefs of the Muslims I guess there was something you know praying to a chair praying they did like a limited number of raka I'd bring the night prayer and and you know sort of a limited amount of Prayer but the big deeds of Islam the things that we know as worship in Islam today were not revealed in the early part of Makkah they were revealed at the very end of the time of the Prophet SAW Allah in Makkah or his time in Medina so the hijab was revealed then in Medina and the hijab well and as a car was revealed you know towards the early part again in Medina and likewise the Hajj was revealed at the very end of the life of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the 10th year after the hijra and our in the ninth year after the hijra and then you know and then the prophets I some Himself made in the tenth year of the Hitler and so on and so forth so we see that this time was spent teaching the people their core beliefs if you look at the muckin soros the sewers that were revealed in Makkah you see that these sewers are primarily focused upon what we believe the beliefs that we hold whereas the sewers that are is revealed in Medina have more rulings and halal and Haram in them so if the profits I haven't spent ten or eleven years in Makkah before he even began dealing with the major issues of halal and Haram then it shows us the importance of this topic to us today the majority of the Quran was revealed regarding matters of a Peter look through the Quran the majority of the Quran is revealed regarding matters of al-qaeda and so the Quran is a book of al-qaeda before it's a book of anything else and that also tells us the importance of our our Peter regarding these sources of our Peter where we actually get our Akita from we get it from the Quran we get it from the authentic Sunnah which is the sayings the actions the approval and the description of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa seldom and we get it from something that we call each man who's heard of each man I'm not gonna ask you what it is who's heard of the word before each man okay you need to know this word because each ma is one of the sources of legislation in Islam if I was to ask you where do we get the halal and Haram from general question where do we get the halal and the Haram from sherry add more specifically where do we get the Holland Holland from from the Quran from the Sunna of the Prophet SAW Salem which is his sayings his actions his approval in his description and there is a third source that we get the halal and the harm from which is each map and there is a fourth source which is please comparing two things and giving it the same ruling but for our Arcadia we don't use the fourth we only use the first three and so we come to the topic of each map each map is essentially the agreement of us of the scholars of a particular time especially the companions and the early generations but not limited to them an agreement of the scholars of a particular time on a specific issue providing that it does not contradict a previously established each map what does that mean so all of the scholars of the companions or all of the companions get together and they agree on something they agree that something is halal or that something is Haram or some of them agree and then the others don't contradict it the others don't stand up and say no that's wrong we they agree to it this establishes consensus now I'm simplifying it for you because consensus is a very difficult issue and it has a lot of filth to it it's an issue that's dealt with extensively in the topic of a solar filter but here what we're talking about is basically everybody getting together and agreeing something and generally we're talking about the Companions those who came after the Companions and we're talking about generally the scholars of Islam and not you know sort of everyone in this classroom agreeing on something but the scholars of Islam agreeing on something such that nobody puts their hand up and says I don't agree or and we can say nobody puts their hand up or almost nobody puts their hand up and says that they don't agree so it's something that everybody there's unanimous agreement everybody agrees to it this is what we call each man and each man is a ruling a clear ruling in Islam it gives a clear ruling in Islam and that's because the Prophet sallallaahu alia Salim said my Ummah will never gather together upon falsehood or my Ummah will never unite upon falsehood that's probably the best translation my Ummah will never unite upon falsehood so as soon as the ummah is united upon something at a particular time that cannot be falsehood now the only couple of issues i've mentioned in there which needs some explanation is that we set a particular time that's because you can't get the agreement of the ummah from now until your ma a.m. because you you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow but as long as the scholars of our time or the scholars of last generation or the scholars of the Tabane or the companions or whatever you know as long as it is a particular time in which everyone who is there at that time agrees or at least doesn't announce that they disagree then this establishes consensus and we said that it isn't allowed to contradict the previous consensus and that's because if it contradicted a pretty for example the companions came together and they all agreed something was hollow and then the scholars of 2013 came together and all agreed it was haram what would be wrong with that who can tell me what would be wrong with that person they would be breaking the consensus that was already established before and the prophets I seldom said that that consensus that was established before can't be wrong so it's not possible for new people to come and change what was already decided before however consensus it's very important that you understand it has to be proven I can say to you there is consensus amongst our ulema of Islam that Newcastle United is the best football team for example you know I can I can give you this I can give you this example but it's just a statement you have to prove it you have to prove it how do you prove it you go through the books of the scholars or the statements or the website or the Fatah whatever it is until you find that this issue nobody disagrees with it and there is nobody who puts their hand up and says no I have a different opinion and that is something which is not easy for you and me to do but it's something that we rely on other scholars the likes of Anela oui le monde le Ramola is very good at mentioning issues in which there is consensus that habit of an Hajar is another one who often mentions issues on which there is consensus you'll say all of the mother hip all of the scholars agreed upon this and there was no you can't have the hanafis agree but the chef a disagreed it has to be complete unanimous consensus in Islam now consensus is a valid means of establishing al Qaeda now I'll give you an example of a consensus in a pita that changed in the beginning of Islam there was not consensus that you always obey the ruler in every single situation and you don't rebel at all you know that issue of rebelling against the Rula there was not a complete consensus in the early days of the companions why do we know this we see a lahar sane radi allahu and we see evidence of a bloody Allah and Allah and Homer are rebelling to a certain extent against a Muslim ruler who establishes the Salah now the other companions disagreed with their actions and the other companions spoke against what they did and like even Tamiya said in when Al Hussein went out to Iraq there was no good in it for him in the dunya or in dhaka subhanAllah like there was nothing good about it you know Subhan Allah it was a it was but the point is that the Companions were not unanimously agreed after the rebellion of Ebony a chef when I blush I've rebelled with the scholars of Islam against the the Muslim rulers and against I'll had judge even use of a sack of e what happened was hundreds about two hundred thousand or more Muslims from the scholars of Islam were slaughtered and at that point there became consensus amongst the scholars every single one of them that there is never an exception to this rule of course the hadith laid down this rule for us you don't rebel against the ruler the hadith laid it down but the Companions were not unanimously agreed on every single situation it was only after the rebellion of Aveeno a chef that they came complete agreement and every single scholar came together and said no way you can never ever ever ever ever rebel against a ruler as long as he establishes the salah and there's never an exception and never an excuse and that consensus happened realistically after the rebellion of even lashes so that's an example of something that yes we have a hadith for it but maybe the way the Sahaba understood the hadith was not the same then when they saw the effects of what happened when at her saying broadly Allah and thought against a year's Eid and when I rebelled against and had judge and likewise what happened with eminent Zuber well the Ola and Houma then they saw that there was even in these pious people with their HD hardened their effort that they made to try to come to the best solution for Islam they realized that you know to be honest this is not going to work there isn't ever an exception to it so our appear that the consensus became clearer you can even say the consensus existed before but it just became firm and it became clear after these events in history and the scholars made these statements and nobody stepped up and said no actually I think if what I benazzo very did was really good for the Ummah or what happened to our saying was fantastic and you know we should all aim to emulate that they all said the same they all said the same thing they said that that it's become clear to us that this is this is something which is not going to be of any benefit ok very very quickly because we're sort of running out of time how was Ikeda recorded in Islam we have to have a history of how something was recorded how something was written down we can't just say that something appeared from nowhere or what will you do if you meet a professor of Islam who's not a Muslim and he says all your Ikeda was all you know the first time you guys talked about al-qaeda was in 256 years after the hijra or in 242 years after the hijra what are you going to do to answer that you need to know the history of how Akita was recorded a Peter began as the ayat of the Quran the hadith of the prophet sallallaahu idea was seldom and the statements of the Companions that's how a leader started off so the prophets I seldom would say something to the Companions about Allah about his messenger about the Companions about obeying the ruler about you know Eman increases and decreases or whatever he would say something and that would be a tiny part of your up either these hadith some of them were written down at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam some of them were written down after that time but they had been preserved in the memory of the people writing salaam wa rahmatullah so these hadith are recorded the same way that all the same way that all hadith are recorded so some of them are written down at the time of the prophet sallallaahu re wa salem some of them are written down later on but all of them are preserved with chains with narrators in memory eventually where did these hadith end up eventually this hadith end up in the collections of hadith like the Moapa of imam malik like sahih al-bukhari like say a Muslim like the Sunnah of Adar II me like the JAMA of imam at-tirmidhi like the sunnah of the of abu dawud and an Asahi and it will Marja bits of these things appear in in different places even Marja begins his book his sunnah by a chapter and cut demand introduction which deals all completely with Ikeda so there are sort of you know bits and pieces that are starting to appear in these books along with these books people start to write about a pita in general so people start to gather all of the ayat and all of the hadith and they start to write about what is our Ikeda what do we believe what do we believe as Muslims and then what happens is they start to refute people who don't have the right Ikeda so when someone has a wrong Aikido when someone has a mistake in a pita they start to write books so you have a rudd allah bishop the refutation of bishop and murray see you have the red algae mia the refutation of the jamia book every rhyme Dadda me you have you know you have attained by even jose ma you have these these beginning books in a pita they either a complete gathering of a leader like a solution by an imam ahmed rahim allah and then you have these refutation start to appear all right alla bishop I'll ride Jamia the refutation of the jamia refutation of the epithelia we're going to come to who these guys were later on today in the latter years or in the later years books appeared about very specific issues of our Peter generally any topic you write about as history goes on the books get more specific so they start off being very general like author Osuna like a towhead by even of Cosima like you know very very very general sort of and very very simple books and as you get on a bit further the books start to become more specific so somebody writes a big volume just about the Shia someone writes a big volume just about the Companions someone writes a big volume just about what we believe about Qatar somebody writes you know and then the book start to become much much much more specific and much larger and much more detailed and there's a reason for that which we're going to sort of cover in a moment what about differences of opinion in al-qaeda the Companions had almost no difference of opinion in our Keita for two reasons why do you think the Companions had no difference in Al Queda first of all they had access to the messenger of allah sallallahu is Elam so if they got stuck on something they would just go ask him and he would clarify second of all there was very little deviancy in their time what deviancy did exist was primarily from the hood from the Jews who would say things and the prophets i salem would either approve of those things or he would reject those things as islam expanded and as the Islamic empire got bigger two things happened first of all there was less access to knowledge because the Prophet SAW Elam died the Companions died and I started to get less and less in number fewer and fewer in number until the companions all passed away the scholars of Islam again passed away from time to time like we find in the hadith Allah does not take knowledge from the heart in teaser and like Allah doesn't just grab the knowledge from the hearts of the people but he takes the knowledge away by causing the death of door ulema so as people passed away knowledge became harder to get there was less knowledge as the Empire grew and the companions became less in number and of course the exposure of Muslims to other religions and beliefs as the Islamic empire grew it wasn't just the hood anymore the Jews then it was the Christians and then even wide it was the fire worshippers and even wide it was the Persian beliefs idol worship and idolatry and then even wider and wider and wider you have influences from Buddhism you have influences from Hinduism you know as the Islamic empire gets bigger and bigger and bigger Islam becomes exposed to other religions and other ways and philosophies and ways of thinking and these start to influence the belief of the ignorant people in Islam okay will delay Tikrit in a leader this last little point until after the break inshaallah we take a very very short break now be evening later Allah for ten minutes and we'll begin again a core past 12 with session - inshallah to Allah and at the beginning of session - we'll we'll talk very briefly about Chuck lead in a Peter or we can just summarize it in a couple of points we can say that allah subhanaw taala criticizes in the quran those people who blindly follow others in their belief a lost parents allah says what either clear letter home it tobira manzil allah car Lubell in Entebbe Rama al fey now I lay here the Anna Allah says when they say when they say to them when we say when it is said to them follow what Allah revealed they say we follow what our fathers did analysis even if their fathers I will Ocala about whom they are clean on a shade and what I have to do even if their fathers don't have any uncle they have no brain they there are no understanding at all and they are not guided so Allah subhana Allah criticizes those people who blindly follow or take their beliefs from others and the reason for this is a number of a number of things first of all when you're asked in the grave you will not be able to say I had the but I learned my belief from my mom from my dad from my Shea from my teacher it has to be what you believe yeah you can learn your Salah you can learn things from people but you what you believe has to be yours and yours alone on the day of judgment you have to answer for what you believed and this is a matter of consensus perhaps part of the wisdom behind this is that learning you know learning the details of fik and the most complicated things about the prayer and there's a car and things like that maybe not everyone can do it but the basic beliefs of Islam everybody has to understand them themselves completely and you can't just say I do this because my mom told me when it comes to beliefs it has to be your belief and that's what you're going to be asked about on the day of judgement and that doesn't mean you can't learn up either from somebody you can learn but it means that when you you know you have to have the proof and you have to understand it yourself and you have to put it in the box that represents your belief yourself you can't say that I took it from somebody else or that I you know I found my father worshipping an idol so I worshiped an idol that's not a valid excuse and Allah subhana Allah criticizes it it several times in several places in the Quran inshallah we'll finish there and we will ensure start a quarter past twelve ten minutes break guys inshallah so panic a lot more behind Iike a shadow and now in a hurry understand Furukawa to wake
