Are You Struggling to Seek Knowledge? || Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAUacademy

foreign my beloved brothers and sisters we're going to go into the fourth a point that I wanted to go through uh for the students of knowledge who are studying at the amau student of knowledge program in today's fourth message Ella the fourth point inshallah will be about the the distresses uh and the also the obstacles that you will endure while seeking knowledge these are concerns and Yani stresses that student of knowledge go through through the course of their studying either you've gone through some of these distresses or some of them you're going through now or some of them you're going to see them in the future some of those distresses inshallah are not going to occur again in your life alhamdulillah you've overcome it and some of them you will see them consistently come up it will never leave you whilst you're seeking knowledge rather whilst you live in this earth but what we can do inshallah is to prescribe for you that which we believe in sha Allah to be the cure for it before I start inshallah I want to say my brothers and sisters he created us and he created all creations and the human beings when he created them he created them in the best of forms as Allah he says in the Quran he straightened you he also subhanallah created you upright uh proportioned you subhanallahu Island and in the form that you are right now he's the one who made you uh this way you're beautiful you're remarkable in the way that you're created nothing in this earth can replace a part of your body the way Allah created it and the way it functions and the way it is there is nothing on this Earth that humans can give you that can give you for example a functioning finger the way that this finger works or an eye or your ear Etc he says that we created uh man in the best form Allah and the beauty of my brothers and sisters of the creating of the human beings created us from limbs every single one of those limbs has a purpose and things that it does and all of those limbs my brothers and sisters has one organ that controls it all if that organ gets affected the entirety of the body is also affected with it and that is the heart my brothers and sisters now heart is as the scholars they say it is what did he used to say he said that the heart is the uh is the king of the body and the limbs are its Soldiers the general is the heart the commander is the heart and the entire body it follows the uh General it follows the commander foreign if the king or the leader the commander he is strong he is motivated driven he will also impact his soldiers and if the king is weak and he is distressed then the entire Army that he has will also be affected by that and this Hadith my brothers and sisters or this point goes in line with the Hadith of the Prophet saws the prophet told us there is a limb inside the human body if it's upright the entire body is also upright or infested that is and if it's right and it's good and it's Noble the whole entire body is if it's corrupt the entire body is also corrupt so why am I mentioning all of this because the point of distress or the concern that we might have when it comes to distress it comes from the heart and if the heart is sad depressed and you're distressed it affects the entire body it affects your thinking it affects your walking it affects your your your standing it affects your movements right now you just want to be in one position you just want to be sleeping or you just want to eat and go you just don't want to do anything the heart is a very powerful organ foreign he tells us that the power of the heart that the day of judgment when it comes the prophet said that the day of judgment money and children and wealth and whatever you had will not benefit what would benefit is a heart again the power of the heart I want you to all pay attention with me I'm coming to a point it's not just a lecture I'm trying to come to a point which is the a student of knowledge who is studying always has to understand the importance of the heart and how it should be protected the power of the heart and how you need to take care of your heart when you're studying when you're learning and you be careful of the uh the detailed matters of the heart Sharia this is a fit which the scholars they call it they say this is one of the greatest fear of a student of knowledge to understand the heart and its reality and what can affect it and what can't affect it what can be an obstacle for it from seeking knowledge or attaining any righteous actions as well so added to a dollar in the happiness of this world in the hereafter it really comes back to as mentions in his great book is that it's the heart also before him I will follow Joseph mentions it so your heart my brothers and sisters will suffer if you don't take care of it and now what happens brothers and sisters is that when the heart suffers a lot of people go about finding the solution in the wrong ways and they're trying to find the kills in the wrong places and my brothers and sisters what we say is he said he says everything that is in the Quran and the Sunnah it really brings happiness it is a solution for all problems the Quran has cures and it has every issue we need to know the Quran and the Sunnah has a solution this is there is not a person who speaks and needs and he vocalizes his points and he speaks in him in what he's saying except that what he speaks is nonsense he has no basis to it my brothers and sisters students of knowledge I want you to take their attention to this the heart strives to do things this is all the heart goes back to it strives to two things the heart is trying to attain two things the first thing is you're looking for something you want that's number one the heart is trying to get something seeking knowledge is what is something you're trying to attain and the second one is the heart is trying to run away from something it feels and it doesn't want it's trying to avoid something it doesn't want that is the reality you're trying to get something and you're trying to avoid something what we're trying to achieve is good and we're trying to achieve yeah any methods and ways to stay away from that which is harmful and so the person's heart this is where the stress and the distress comes from you will try to get something you couldn't get it you feel sad you were scared of something might happen or you were running away from something and you fell into it and you are now just stressed and saddened by it so the word that the scholars used for uh stress and they refer to is alhambu that word in Arabic is the word that the scholars use but by the way the word is it's a root word for the two Polar Opposites of something in Arabic language you will see words that when you look at them they have the two Polar Opposites in that one word for example the word alwara in Arabic sometimes the word water can be behind which is what is normally understood as everybody else everybody will say what does the word means they understand it is means they're back or behind but the same word comes in the quranas at the front as Allah said in the Quran in front of them there was a king that was taking people's ships and boats so that same word was used as what the bakana the front there's many words like that in the Quran the word have sometimes comes as and is used as high aspiration they say it's the it's aspiration High aspiration the word means that which strengthens the heart and forces the heart and allows you to reach your goal the second type is a ham which weakens the nuts and it stops and prevents it from attaining and achieving what it wants as for that first type of hem which is what we call High aspirations is not what I'm going to be talking about methods and ways to attain High aspiration I'm not going to be focusing on that what I'm going to be talking about is distress discomfort sadness that you will endure and feel in the course of your studying and acquiring and attaining the knowledge of all Islam that's what I'm going to be focusing on Brothers I first of all want to say to you that this world that you live in the way that it's created Allah created it is that it's going to be filled with distress a lot of people are sad and heartbroken when you speak to them and you have a dialogue with them you tend to find that their perception and their understanding of the reality of the world is different to the way Allah describes it in the Quran and the way that the messenger puts it in the Sunnah and what is the difference they've understood from this world to be very lavish very happy comfortable joyful and Allah rather speaks about this world as a test Allah talks about the Quran of this world as a place where he's testing trials and tribulations so the happiness shouldn't be the default position in this world what should be the default position in this world is trials and tribulations and that the happiness that you go through in this world the happiness that you feel are just small breads that are being thrown to you I need that small opening and that's what the the the the default position brothers and sisters foreign mean my brother so a lot of people if they understood the perception of the real this world they had a correct understanding of this world they understood its reality as Allah mentioned in Surah uh and the word it means Allah is actually saying I created the human beings through hardship and uh yeah and I created them in this world as yeah I mean with hardship and distress and discomfort so that's what the Dunya is to Allah to create and the sustainer I would ask you guys a question inshallah and I want you to answer this to yourself you don't have to say anything loud to the people around you can hear you but just say it to yourself inshallah which is if a company was to make a product and they told the people this product that they made is actually faulty there's a lot of faults in it and there's problems in it stop using it with the people take that from them see how I said to you that the the uh creators of this product or the makers of this product or the manufacturers of this product they are saying to its faulty I didn't say they're praising it because people falsely praise their stuff but I'm saying they're criticizing it and they're saying it's faulty and it has problems they come out and they see that what do you believe it of course you would without a shadow of a doubt you take it from them iPhone came out and said to you all of our phones are faulty we found a problem in it and all of you go and return back your phones to us everybody would go back and return their phones and get a refund because the manufacturer said the company who made it are saying this Allah said in the Quran no one can inform you the way Allah it's cold it's it's tough it's rough it's not easy how are you not taking it from him how you're not believing him in that is there's a Hadith I want you to all students of knowledge this is for you because a lot of you guys might drop out and say I'm stressed I can't do it it's hard it's tough just listen to these a hadiths and these quotes I give you and inshallah really think about you what you are saying the prophet Allah is generated on the authority of Allah that the prophet said nothing remains in this Dunya except trials and tribulations Tamil calamities is foreign nearly every single moment he speaks he tends to bring up this line of poetry a lot it's one of those poetries he says so much in Britannia it was said by Abu Hassan he uses this a lot because went through a lot of trials and tribulations in the course of his life so he sees the following he said I wanted to read and you want it Far From Any filth you want this world to be so clean and good you want it to be so smooth and the poet is it means it was created with it the world has naturally been made in a way that Allah created it is that it's stuck to it cannot be detached from hardship toughness rough that's what it is brothers and sisters and then look what the poet said and you on the other hand you want it cleaned and separated from what from hardship and discomfort able and look at the the days and the nights are different to it will tell me he said this world of entertainment used to use that line of poetry because he spent a very long time of his life when he came to seeking knowledge and after he saw knowledge he suffered a lot even after he saw knowledge in conveying The Message of Islam he suffered and I encourage you all to read the likes of those Scholars to really understand are you going through a lot are you really suffering are you really seeing a hardship the answer is no and the ending he says the poet says and obligating runs from the days what is against is what is against its nature it is like searching water for a burning log also a powerful statement that really hits is that I had a little bed and I want you to think of the statement of his he said I want you to think how he his perception of the world is and the way that we look at it he said we were a people of Jannah from the people of Jannah and guess what Iblis we were from the people of Jannah then Iblis brought us out as captives the word for Savannah is that shaytan came and he struck he calls us to leave Jannah we left Jannah because of shaytan how can we be happy and enjoy ourselves there's nothing left for us except distress and discomfort we're taking our agenda we're in a place but lower than China where can happiness come to us and then he said only happiness would come we are only going to be happy when we are brought back to the place that we were taken from someone brought you out of a very luxurious life that you had and brought you to a very low life for the rest of your life you're going to always feel that in your hearts you shouldn't laugh and smile because you're gonna think or people are going to look at you and say why is he smiling for eign do you think if you were taken out from Jannah and the one that took you out of Jannah is and he took you the out as he said yeah as a captive meaning he used you against your sins which is a form of captivation a captive a major captive of your own sins the only due to your sins you became captive a captive then how do you then expect inshallah to be happy in a world that is not Jannah so agenda my brothers and sisters where happiness inshallah will be that's where inshallah we ask Allah to make us from its people now brothers and sisters I want to go through causes of distress in general and then I'm going to speak about the student of knowledge specifically okay one of the things that cause distress is uh the natural way that Allah created the human beings is a cause for us to be stressed because sometimes we want things which Allah did not will for us to have it and sometimes we are running away from which we Are Spiritual scared of and that is also uh gonna come and happen to us so naturally the nerves has been made to feel sad when it doesn't get what he wants and it's naturally been made to fear what it was running away from in other words we're comfortable with so many things right that's what Allah says in the Quran the human is created with fear and any discomfort and all of that is if God comes his way he's happy his sadness comes his way he's sad and his heart broken by it and then the first reason why people are sad and heartbroken is we have to be honest and say he left the nuts was made like that is not an external Factor necessarily at the first point it's something that the nurse is second is The Whispers of shaytan shaytan puts that fear in you sometimes which causes distress remember we said distress comes from how many things two things generally it's good that you're looking for and something you're running away from so shaytan places fear in you that's what Allah said in the Quran so he he places fear in you and makes you scared how does he do that he says to you it's money of yours that you have and you'll want to give it out in sadaka you're gonna struggle you're not gonna get that money back and this and that that's what Allah he gives you this belief that you're going to be poor student of knowledge yeah you're going to be he brings that yeah and if poverty in front of your eyes you evil and that which is not good so there's many verses in the Quran that's that I mentioned that so the poverty brothers and sisters that brings to you is that which goes against contentment in your heart you feel I don't have anything how am I going to seek knowledge we're going to talk about those distresses for the student of knowledge inshallah the second one is thoughts that people have it's called is the person sits down and he thinks about things and then it saddens him as something you should also avoid some people they sit back and they think about life and they remember moments and things what people said to them and all of that don't reverse don't drive in Reverse as they say yeah don't bring out the dead from their graves and what's happening in the past has happened there's nothing you can really do about it drive forward go forwards ah yeah it was written in the what was written has taken place what's happened in the past has already happened you cannot really do anything about it as they say is crying over spilled milk you can't do anything about it and the future again is not in your hands just think about the present and what you're living in and brothers and sisters I really want to point this out sadness comes from the past that you thought about and you're broken of what happened and sometimes the future that you really want to know I want to do this I want to do this and you keep thinking about the future it distresses you you fear the past and what happened and the future that you're that's in front of you that that your your your your your your your you want it you I want this I want that I want to become like this I want to become like that and it distresses you it puts weight on you don't live the future think about the present right now focus on like the future will unfold itself in midline green another reason that causes uh distress my brothers and sisters is when the trials and tribulations increase and that's what's happening online and social media and in our day-to-day life what we're seeing on the streets and everything it's a time of city now that we're living in so this also causes it another reason why distress increases my brothers and sisters is lack of knowledge of what causes problems to avoid it a lot of people don't so they go towards things that cause problems which are Scholars called the causes of distress they go towards those things and then after they find out that these things are what caused it I encourage everybody who can read the Arabic language you can go back to this video after you have gained great knowledge inshallah in the amau project in ama student knowledge program you can go back to this video again and watch it and read this book well now that you've learned the Arabic language and Etc has very beautiful statements on the issue of distress and sadness and he also has a beautiful beautiful discussion in the fourth volume of his good discussion on the cures of distress The Kills of it inshallah if Allah gives me the time and the life uh inshallah what are the cues to distress the cues is to distress my brothers and sisters is two it's called that which the Sharia has prescribed the Sharia has told us about it that's the first one that's called what it's called the uh the cures prescribed by the Sharia the second one is called it is not prescribed by the Sharia but it's prescribed by the Specialists doctors and those who know and they've based it on what they have based their own experience and they've based on that which they saw the outcome Etc I'm going to quickly go through the Sharia the prescription it gave you the prescription of the Sharia if you follow all of these inshallah uh I promise you a shout out I promise you you will not feel a lot of sadness that you felt in your life now there's a difference between uh sadness and distress or depression and anxiety every human being goes through that moment of sadness but when you come with these things you're gonna cure it as soon as it comes you're gonna get rid of it the first one is foreign by saying it's his fault why do you do this to me what did I do wrong the third one is recognizing that this will happen because of your shortcomings pointing the finger at yourself that that makes you a submissive slave to Allah will have mercy on you the next one is to turn towards Allah with his Majestic Noble names and attributes the next one is asking Allah for help relying on him the next one is reciting the book of Allah and becoming the friend of companion of the Quran the next one is Toba asking Allah for forgiveness and repenting from your mistakes and your shortcomings striving in the cause of Allah and what that word means and also the prayer staying away from thinking that everything that happens is because of your own hard work and your efforts no nothing is what the good that you get is not because of your hard work it's because of Allah the next one is supplicating to Allah and consistently remember remembering him the next benefit is put your heart towards what is beneficial ignore the things that are unnecessary gain and time wasting forget all of that bring your heart and your mind to that which is beneficial for you the next one is don't preoccupy yourself with that which has happened in the past drive forward the next one is think good of Allah foreign always remember that which Allah has done for you and the great blessings that you have had it was mentioned about you when he had went when he went through the hardship that he went through he said I feel shy to ask my lord for cure from the problem that I'm going through because how many years has he given me how long has he given me a a healthy body and mind also when it comes to the uh that which the doctors and others see fit that it's it's specialist they will tell you the the cures and the thing that they see to be the case but there are things that the scholars of Islam took from them and mentioned them for example if you read the guitar he mentions for example from those things is as Scholars mentioned it is do not procrastinate well I think that causes people stress is that they leave their work to the last minute and then where do I start from what do I do this is a this is why you're stressed get rid of the work that is outstanding and finish it now so you're free for the future you can't take get everything done and dusted the third one is oh avoid doing things which are outside your ability and stick within your ability when it comes to doing virtuous things uh also choosing good things to do productive things to do very important the next one is Allah don't try to look for praise and recognition from other people this is what happens online a lot of the people who are public figures and online whether they be Muslims or non-muslim all of that they all look for recognition and then what happens the crowd there's people in the comment section who tend to not like you they have to say something they have something to say right so you were doing it for the people you wanted the recognition from them and gratitude but they're not giving it to you so you become very distressed but if you do it if you did it for Allah Allah Will Never Let You Down Allah does not let down those who do righteous actions and work towards him another one is another thing what do people say or what the people do or what the people are think of you is really not going to harm you it's going to harm them it's very important by the way you think these things are and you're going to think are these not the Sharia these are but they are practically being seen if a person does it it gets better that's why we call it kadaria meaning it is practicing you can see the results for it you can see the person will come back to you and say well I tried it and I saw a difference I'm not like I felt before I feel much better more relieved the people's speech or the people's action towards you to remember it can't really harm you rather the people sometimes they project onto you what they think of themselves like they they they're doing it because they're removing a stressness on them and they're projecting it onto you it's fine no problem but it won't harm you inshallah also reminding yourself this how short this world is so whatever is happening to you right now it's not gonna happen forever it's gonna come to a time when it's going to end rather if it becomes more hard for you to distress and the discomfort then they say every time the matter becomes even more harder in the opening is very close it's getting more what's that object where it becomes very tight from the middle and then it opens from the other side so from the front it's actually open and in the middle is very tight and it comes very close and then after it opens again that middle path where it comes tight is what you need to remember when hardship hits you very hard that if it gets Tighter and tougher then the opening is very close you're going to leave now inshallah another thing that I feel like is very beneficial is the places you go to it helps distress for example students of knowledge trying to read in places we're going to mention some of those points is trying to study and learn in Greenery places I used to sometimes go to the countryside and I would finish a kitab a book or two is very beneficial places which are sufura the scholars they say yellow because Allah when he speaks about Allah said something he said foreign the people who look at it it brings them happiness those kind of colors they bring happiness if you look at the concealer that is he mentions that it gets rid of sadness so maybe having flowers in your house is very good if you if you live in a country for example like ours where there's not much Greenery because of the country because of the country sand a lot so they may be bringing some Greenery into your house another thing is itiano Zodi if you're married intimacy intimacy helps towards distress he mentions causes more distress but having a spouse a partner to be intimate with it removes some of that stress the body relaxes and release itself mentions another word is archery it has an earth he mentions this that when a person learns archery goes as far as saying that the archery room is like the distress goes into the archery and it flies with it so it removes his distress and discomfort also looks it actually brings out for example wearing Rings like a field bar it's very good and for women gold yeah for women wearing gold remove his moves his distress when he speaks about the prophetic medicine colorful things having things which are very colorful and looking at those things it brings happiness dimensions all of these things brothers and sisters they help to remove what distress even certain types of noises forests people listen to right rain rain rainforest it be calms them down and makes them feel calm it does work and certain people they spend time watching to certain objects moving sideways or all of this it's also something that yeah it's from the what that is being proven now I'm gonna go into 20 things that students go through that are just stressful when it comes to seeking knowledge 20 of them inshallah I'm going to mention the Cure the first one is the issue of sincerity this is going to carry on from the beginning to the end it increases the more you land okay which is sincerity brothers and sisters everyone who seeking knowledge is scared and terrified that what he's doing is showing off is it am I sincere or am I not in seeking my knowledge and brothers and sisters I just want to remind you something the only people who know showing off are the sincere people in other words they're the ones who are consistently reading about it and learning about it and avoiding its parts and its methods so if you see yourself inshallah always questioning yourself foreign when you say I'm not I'm not sure enough I'm doing this for the sake of Allah that's when it's worrying that's when it's yeah any worrying what is it that you should do when to seek knowledge you have to look at four four main intentions every single class that you go to every book that you read every time that you're seeking knowledge you need to know that your four reasons you're learning the first one is to remove ignorance from yourself number two you're learning and your intention is to remove ignorant from other people the third one is to preserve to preserve Knowledge from it becoming Forsaken and Abandoned and last but not least to act upon that knowledge that's what the Poetry said before you see acknowledge remember these four keep it in your mind um before I just mentioned to remove ignorance from yourself to remove from other people to memorize and preserve knowledge and to act upon the knowledge that you have okay my brothers and sisters this is something by the way all Scholars of Islam were fighting and they were consistently fighting against which is showing off it was said by the scholars knowledge will say no no let's do it for the sake of Allah finally we'll kick in my brothers and sisters statement there will be comments and he says the person when he first seeks knowledge he's doing it for what he loves knowledge or he just loves the idea of just wanting to remove ignorance from himself if sometimes people do it for jobs there's a position they need this knowledge and he goes and he does it and he doesn't know the sincerity that is needed from him he doesn't know the truthfulness towards knowledge but the more the person seeks knowledge and the more he comes to know the more he learns to account himself and question himself the evil of his actions then the good intention starts kicking in maybe all of the good sincerity comes in or some of it comes to him so the don't stop seeking knowledge brothers and sisters do it for Allah seek and carry on if at the beginning you're not right and your attention is bad keep on the path inshallah and this by the way is a distress that you will feel for the rest of your life in dawa the second distress is you're scared and you're always stressful about whether you're going to be guided to The Path of Knowledge you keep thinking am I am I going to gain any knowledge am I on the right path am I doing the right thing you question yourself all the time is this the right way and we spoke about this issue which is we started the entire series with what the importance of a methodology so alhamdulillah I believe Academy the student of knowledge program inshallah Island this issue of I mean having distress when it comes to I mean the path of the methodology of seeking knowledge I think inshallah there's nothing to worry about in this regard inshallah this is something that's been set for you and it's so in terms of the methodology the way that inshallah it's going to be done by knowing the methodology and we've already spoken about that in the second video inshallah of the importance of seek and the importance of methodology and also Mohammed he's also going to speak about the methodology that the student of knowledge goes through at amau uh so that inshallah if you watch both of them together it will benefit you but the scholars they mentioned when it comes to methodology and you want to seek knowledge there are two main important things you need to observe there are two main important things you need to observe okay and they are vital for you to reach the goal that you're trying to reach if you don't get that you're gonna you're gonna suffer you're gonna you're gonna have a hard time from attaining it and that is to have a knowledgeable person to teach you you need a teacher who uh who knows what he's doing uh who has struggled has gone through hardship and he's murshid he'll take you to the right places that he knows the methodology and he's really done that and this is based on the Hadith narrated on the authority the second thing that uh that you need when it comes to seeking knowledge is a strong methodology astronomist you have a qualified teacher and you have strong methodology this uh distress inshallah won't be a problem the third distress is the knowledge seems very hard you don't think you can do it you're struggling these levels that have been done you're struggling you're struggling you think it's very hard I just want to say to you the Quran is the foundation of Islamic knowledge right and Allah when he spoke about it he tells us how easy the Quran is the Quran Allah says it's easy and it's simple for the people so the Quran is simple and the Sunnah is a revelation also from Allah is also simple so the knowledge is really easy it's just that you need Allah's help and you need Allah support and with a clear methodology with a clear structure and with inshallah the teachers who know it'll be very easy knowledge was actually just one dot the ignorant people made it many and what he's trying to say here is that not it was very easy it's very simple it's just that other people started to say unnecessary things and then he became yeah and respond to that clarify that this and that and it became a lot and to remove this distress inshallah the way that we've done it is that you're going to start with the most important sciences that you need to know with the correct yeah any steps and the correct books the second is that we're going to focus on the small books before we talk about the many book the big books the the detailed books we're going to go through the summarize books okay and we're gonna inshallah tell you what you need to memorize from those books uh we're also going to not focus and we're not gonna just we're not going to put you through uh the uh energy of having to read big books we're not going to burden you with all of that because that's going to be heavy on the heart we're going to grab you by the hand we're going to walk you through knowledge but what we do need from you is that you give the advice and the steps that we give you take it very serious distress will be overcome the fourth one is the fourth distress that student of knowledge changed to tend to see is that you find so many different people teaching us you see so many different teachers teaching you and this sometimes many of the times distresses a student of knowledge so the student starts to become confused and he doesn't know which one to start with and who should he study starting with and who should he learn from look you need to study with anybody who's qualified who has the knowledge he's known for having knowledge he has also sought the knowledge uh he has he has grounded understanding and is a ground grounded Foundation the second is this teacher he has yeah I need not just a knowledge because that would by itself won't be beneficial he has Salah he has a high level of Yani discipline and mannerism and all of that which you can benefit from inshallah he can be a good role model for you he can benefit from him the way he carries himself from the way he is that's also another thing that you choose the teachers based on so if the teachers are many pick the one who has more knowledge and also he has high level of implementation of that knowledge and with that inshallah it will narrow down the many figures out there the fifth inshallah is the fifth distress the student of knowledge will feel is the Sciences are too many okay and inshallah we have a pathway that you are going to be evening go through with structured it all for you we've organized everything where you start from what you do what you don't do we've set everything for you if you take that advice inshallah again this distress won't be a problem the all the sciences that are there it won't confuse you you also have the option whatever's convenient for you some people they love to study many Sciences at the same time you can do that some people they find that very distressful and very uncomfortable with that they love to seek every science by itself they don't want to study many sciences and there are Scholars who actually believe that opinion yeah he mentions when it comes to the Ayah and Lady he said he said hey they don't go to one science without mastering the science that that they're in so they finish this one they Master it then they go to the next they master that when they go to the next and then master that they don't put their legs in too many different Sciences and some scholars believe that this is a view of the poets from the shalaka for example they say um they say if you want to seek knowledge then take one science at uh after the other do not take them all at once okay just like a mother if she was carrying twins she'd have to let one child out first before she takes out the other child okay so all the both the children can't come out at once so inshallah we have selected and we have picked the important books that you need to study we've chosen um chosen as zubad we've chosen you're going to study different Sciences with different books a nice set organized program inshallah that you're going to benefit from so and we've set a pathway for each and every one of them so when you study those Sciences we'll tell you which one level you should finish first what level you shouldn't Finish First which one should you start with we've suggested everything for you but some people might say that's not comfortable for me that doesn't work for me I prefer taking so many Sciences together I enjoy it I relax from that I love to take this one take that one take that one I like it no problem back to the bridge to school systems in America as well you take many Sciences at the same time every day so yeah some people like that inshallah that's also opened for you as well the the sixth distress that students of knowledge go through is the many classes that are out there okay um and they're kind of contradicting each other so there's like this class that you want to be there but then on the same same time there's another class that's also happened in the same time that this class is happening in and you're like oh no I want to be at both of them but I can't go I have to choose one this also causes distress to the students the student of knowledge program inshallahu ta'ala there isn't this problem when shift him is teaching these clauses I would be teaching them when I'm teaching them he would so we don't have this problem in the sense where these classes inshallah you can watch them anytime's classes are there mine went on there and shout out to either and you can go to each and every one of them and there's no title there's no like this class I want to be in there but this class is going over this class it's not it's recorded for you and you can go and watch it at your the most convenient time inshallah so this distress alhamdulillah there won't be that problem and you'll benefit in that regarding the next distress that students of knowledge tend to have is the issue of the distress of understanding knowledge and memorizing as you know when it comes to seeking knowledge there are two main things that are needed from you you have to have a high level of memorization and you need to have a high level of comprehension and understanding okay you need to have a high level of memorization and a high level of understanding and so students are like when do I memorize when do I understand when do what do I memorize what should I not memorize so listen take it easy shout out to Island remember these three fundamental advices inshallah number one you have to know what you need to memorize and inshallah you don't need to worry we've prescribed for you we've written for you the books that we suggest that you memorize inshallah we've broken the books that you should memorize in the AMA student of knowledge program into two inshallah books that are for the people who have high aspiration who really want to go to the limits inshallah we suggested a a book for them the person who says look I do want to memorize in this particular science but I can't go for these vast you know detailed books I want to do a small basic book we've also suggested a small book for them to memorize some of the subjects we didn't do that what it did was we selected the portions that we need from these big books that you need to memorize so you don't have to worry about what should you memorize or not we've already only written that for you okay also what is it that you need to understand again you don't have to worry about that which is the second uh fundamental advice you understand the most important yeah I mean topics that you need to understand everything we're teaching in the introduction you have to understand every one of them some videos my brothers and sisters I'm gonna be honest with you some videos you're gonna have to go over again and again and again maybe four or five times that's fine that's why you go according to your own taste the third one is knowing how to keep the things that you memorize how do I hold it down and how do I hold down the way that I've understood this class I want to keep it in my head I don't want to lose it these three inshallah if you get them don't you don't have to worry there's no problem or issue for you which is to know how to keep what you memorize or to keep what you've understood does that make sense the last one which is how do I keep well I memorize and how do I keep what I've understood the ill goes back to revision we're going to give you an idea plan of how to revise what not to what to revise how what time to revise all of that was suggest inshallah foreign what do you memorize how should you keep that memory there what do I need to understand and how do I keep that understanding in brothers and sisters anybody who wants to understand and memorize me to understand these three things and knowing what is it that student of knowledge needs to memorize second one is knowing what is it that I need to understand three knowing how to keep that information and memorize how do I keep it in and not lose it because I'm exactly time and effort in it also the things I've understood in these classes I want to keep it with me I want to always be able to understand it and not forget it a few months later when I look back at my notes a little class I'm like what was the teacher saying I don't want that to happen I want to be able to understand it how do I do that those three the answers to them is what will remove this this just this distress as for what you need to memorize as I said to you we inshallah amau we've already written the way and how and what you need to memorize is going to explain that to you you're gonna have to go to his video the second thing that I in terms of in terms of what you need to understand now we've written the curriculum for you and all the books that you're going to do with us okay and inshallah which is the introduction for all of the science that is a key for the understanding if you do good in your the introduction every book that comes after will make sense to you because yeah and it's the foundation for it is a foundation it's a foundation level it's the key the third and final one which is when you what you memorize and what you understand all of this inshallah it goes back to revision it goes back to time it also go back goes back to place so a lot of rescission going over again and again and again a few days you have to go through it number two the time that you memorize it you can't be doing it at a time when you're fatigued and you're exhausted and you've come from work and you've done a 95 shift and you now want to memorize maybe do it before you go to work when you wake up in the morning an hour before you leave and the third one inshallah of how what you memorized what you understood how do I keep it in it goes back to revision brothers and sisters that's vital it goes back to the time that you're going to memorize so if you've got 95 95 job and you want to memorize and you want to understand and after you come from work and you're exhausted and you're tired and you come home and you say look I have to memorize my lesson before I go to it maybe that's not a good time right maybe you should do it when you wake up in the morning you pray so loud before you go work you use that chance to memorize and Etc okay the place that you memorize some people will memorize it in the living room where all their kids are running around and Etc that doesn't work so it's all goes back to these three things when it comes to memorization revision consistency or continuation and going over it revising it many times it goes back to the time and it also goes back to the uh place and what makes you to get knowledge is yeah or makes knowledge go what makes knowledge perish and go is forgetting it and not revising it right that's the cause for it the eighth uh distressed that students of knowledge go through some of you are going to see which is the eighth uh distress that you look at this and you say wow how many years is this going to be we say to you for example 10 15 20 years and you're like you're like whoa wow this is not for me then this is a lifetime commitment this is all my life every day I have to this is a distress that students of knowledge go through instead of looking at what it is after 10 to 15 and 20 years why don't you look at focusing on now and today what you need to learn that's how you overcome this distress don't keep looking at the ending and the Finish Line just look at what you're at right now what you're doing and focus on that okay they say if you're scared scared of heights and you're walking or on a a rope or you're walking on something a bridge that's over say a forest for example and you're scared of heights they tell you don't look down right because if you do you're going to start getting scared and you're gonna Panic right so this one it goes back to the student keeps looking at oh no so 10 20 years after I'm going to be doing this book oh this is going to be the curriculum inshallah I've written for you some of the books we didn't we we appreciated when it came but we didn't focus on we do not focus on the books and that we were going to study yeah we were not we were appreciating the one that we're in right now we'll come to the other one inshallah we're gonna come to it and that's inshallah important and if you look at the great Scholars about Islam their biography will help you as well to overcome this distress that one man or a scholar or a particular scholar would go to one scholar to take Knowledge from him for 30 years not 10 years but not five years we're talking about brothers yeah only 30 years [Music] how did you reach knowledge how did you gain good knowledge he said I was sitting on yeah under the ground legs my legs were crossed I was seeking knowledge for 30 years that's where I got all of this from Sofia then he said that I had to figure out he said I traveled to gain knowledge for how many years 30 years his name is uh he said [Music] um about his teacher um one of the greatest qualities he talks about that he read in fact 35 years he was studying how many years brothers and sisters 35 years and for us we want to go to a crash course we want a two weeks two weeks DOTA and we want to be Masters in that short time look inshallah you get there just be consistent and continuous and you'll see results the ninth one is which is what I just mentioned now the person's in our program inshallah signs up studies maybe for three months after three months which is why did I say three months because three months they say it's a probation probation period majority of the people they drop out after three months the person signs up hyped up full of energy sees this book be mentioned in that and they get excited and Etc after three months they don't see a lot of changes in terms of their knowledge they say it's I haven't really uh reached a high level and so they become distressed and they call Southern Titan chest and they say look I can't do this I need leaves you're studying and learning look I want to say this is similar to the Halo the farmers when the farmers are Yani they're planning to they're winning they're working towards planting seeds in the Earth in order to get vegetations first of all what do they have to do what they have to do is they have to toss and turn the Earth upside down and they have to get rid of all of the unpleasant seeds and anything that are in there so you need to get rid of all of the unnecessary stuff okay after that and when the earth is good in good shape and they've put the right uh seeds sorry the right soil there then and only then do they start planting the seeds because the Earth they believe is now ready sometimes that's what knowledge does to us it takes time it's our hearts are getting clean first for that knowledge starts dropping into our heart and starts growing okay so it is affecting you but it's just working on your your heart your mind is cleansing you the second thing is a lot of people only focus on knowledge in the term in the in when they look at it I haven't learned anything but has it increased you in actions be honest there's a thought in me and there's also has it increased in your heart the fear of Allah as it also made himself aware of yourself has he also taught you the importance of certain things that you thought were not that important then that's what suffers you've gained something you've benefited something knowledge does two things Brothers it does it cleanses the heart from all the dirty things that are in it that takes time and then after that does it do tahalia too then and only there does it fill the heart with beneficial virtuous things okay my brothers and sisters pay attention to this and be aware of this the tenth distress the students of knowledge will see is that we're going to be mentioning many books so a lot of students are going to be distressed with when it comes to compiling books and creating your own Library this is something students tend to find brothers and sisters if you want to let if you want to get books you have to follow the you have to follow these advices and I want you to pay attention to this number one give importance to the books that are considered mutton which you know you're going to read on a teacher in other words get the books that we're going to be teaching you in the Modesto or Maria pursuit of knowledge program oh the books inshallah the curriculum is going to be available for you inshallah to see all of those books by them because you know you're going to study them inshallah not only that get a shut up for it if you can and inshallah we're going to suggest the best for you to look at look at inshallah so that's number one these are books that you know you're gonna learn straight away this is number one the second one is buying the books that are considered mahat like books that you know are considered reference points like sorry Muslim General get those books as a student of knowledge those books are considered um reference points consider the reference point is also considered a reference point so those books are called books the third one is after the fundamental books you buy important books that the scholars have said you need this book for example it's not considered it's not considered from the mutton or it's not considered from the text that you're going to read on a teacher but it's also a very important book it talks about the sins it talks about the illnesses and its cures that's a vital important book tube that uh that you inshallah but for us inshallah is actually part of our program you're going to be studying them anyway so it's part of our curriculum but any books that are not part of the curricula that it's good for you to buy like for example in our curriculum you're not going to be studying the kitten is a very good book it's very beneficial it's actually a reference point when it comes to tafia and Etc buying books okay and that are after you study the Sciences you've mashallah studied with uh us for like a year two years you've done a good study you buy books the books that you buy brothers and sisters this was smart and you have to be clever the way that you buy it is based on the funu The Sciences so for six months you focus on only buying books related you spend all your money on Facebooks then after that you spend your money on all the books a lot for example I order you focus on all the books of Hadith you focus on how do you specifically you have to narrow down what you mean by Hadith what do you mean you specifically narrow down what subject or what fun or what science that you want to buy the books for and then you start buying it those three sorry those four foundations you have to be observing number one for now when you start at amae student knowledge program don't buy unnecessary books and spend all your money on books you will not be using in the next few years focus on the curriculum books that we're going to teach you by all of them and we're going to suggest for you the best Publications for it the second books are once you've studied a good portion with us in terms of the curriculum you start buying the fundamental books that you're you know you're gonna always have to go back to for reference like bukhari Muslim Etc yeah foreign after that third one which is you go towards books that are important but they're not part of our curriculum they're not part of our curriculum we're not going to be teaching you them what you it's good to have those books it should be present in your career in your library because it's vital uh it's after the also and it's a very important books that you need to have okay the fourth one is buying books in terms of Sciences now you're a mashallah you've done our first Sciences now we say every six months you focus on a science so you say inshallah for the next six months all my salary and money I get inshallah whatever savings I would have made I'm gonna focus on building my library based on a science okay that is all I'm gonna buy oh I'm gonna buy Etc and every six months you're focusing on that science until you finish needing all the books you can possibly think of for that science the majority of them will overcome the distress that you go through when it comes to buying books so many people are buying books and then they're buying books in the wrong way they're buying bad Publications they're buying books which are ripped pages are missing from it number the the 11th distressed that students or knowledge go through is how do I combine between I go to Medina University for example somebody might say I've been studying I'm studying at University Medina or I'm studying at a secular University and I go to your amau or I mean India and I'm studying in an Islamic University or I'm in this country and I'm studying at Islamic University but I want to be part of your program because the curriculum and the things that you guys are going to be teaching is not available for me in my country how does that person combine between the the university structure and the uh the amau uh online um service that we're doing inshallah there's a lot of contradiction that happens to students should I stopped my University now shut it down leave it and stick to the NAU Institute or should I uh not worry about studying amau Institute and just focus on my uh simply the real answer I'm going to give you is to combine between the two to combine between the two and not to leave one for the other and the reason why I say this is because this similar situation occurs to the students who are in Medina who are studying with the ruler they say shall I stick to the ulaba and study or should I study at my University sometimes it might affect my job my it might affect my uh my University it might affect my University so what do I do in this situation the advice I want to give you is that you need to do two things if you know that you go to an Islamic University and you're currently studying but there are some subjects and some science maybe even secular Sciences you're studying a very good subject called medicine for example or engineering which could very beneficial and you also want to be part of the amau Institute and the content is has been it's online I want to be part of it I want to study what do you advise me to do I would say because they are all pre-recorded you can go according to your paste so when you get holidays like you have is here you have for example summer holidays winter holidays you have Easter holidays you've got this holiday that holiday you benefit from those holidays you back to back you study at The amau Institute you finishing your subjects you're studying your learning weekends for example you're doing yours study on your weekends okay um and then the second one is once you've graduated from your University now you have achieved that secular sciences that you were studying at or even maybe uh islami or this University that you were studying up you finished it you graduated from it even then inshallah it's still beneficial for you in doing it after that by studying it after well the delicate event is mentioned he never studied except when he reached the age of 80. he was busy with other Sciences by the way he could only have come to that subject at that age so 80 imagine that 80 he's studying the different modes of recitation of the Quran now I want to go into the 12 distress the students of knowledge go through which is the you have a lot of demand chores a life that you have to do there is is there is so there are a lot of things that are upon you for example your parents are old they need you for example you have a wife you have children uh maybe your help your health is not that good um so there's many things that are yawning in your life that's very very exhausting and it's taking your time how do I overcome this is I'm stressed about this what I want to say is first of all you have to understand that these responsibilities that you have you have to fulfill them for example Your Nest has rights on you your family have rights on you your parents have rights on you your neighbors have rights on you your wife has rights on your children have rights on you everyone has to be given their rights that's number one number two is that you have to organize and structure that responsibility so who's the most rightful person to you your parents for example you write that down number one then who comes next and then who comes after and then who comes after so then you give each person their rights based on that so this is important you organize the level of rights that the people have on you okay and you give each person their rights once you write it down and you designate time for every single one of them you'll find them that you have actually got what a lot of time to do things for for yourself you realize you'll find that out because a lot of the people who say I've got so much responsibilities when kovit happened and they had to work from home and they were a lot of responsibilities were taken from them they didn't perform when it comes to certain things that they said that I couldn't do it because I have to drive there to come back this and that with covert a lot of people didn't even have to work at all they were getting paid without having to work like some people they got two three hours off their time from commuting from one place to another but they still weren't able to produce when it comes to their religion they were not able to do certain things that they wanted to do in life still saying I'm still busy so I just think is you really haven't organized your time and you're not really giving a lot of consideration to your time the 13th inshallah is the person is seeking knowledge and he has no he's distressed when it comes to knowledge and calling to the Deen of Allah like what I've learned do I have to stop preaching it do I have to go out there and teach look brothers and sisters happens on different levels and different scales and there's no better person than the one who calls to the path of Allah knowledge is the key to it Insight of the religion is a key to when it comes to dawah that's why Allah says so no doubt as soon as you learn a knowledge in a matter you need to do that but on what level do you need to do that well it depends on your level of knowledge as a beginner student of knowledge you're still doing uh you're doing the introduction level you're doing the beginner level you haven't really reached a high level putting yourself out there in order to give knowledge it's gonna be counterproductive and you're gonna lose out you're going to open yourself to other people to show jealousy animosity towards you and you could have avoided it by not putting yourself out there also um another factor or another thing is if you take those positions you're not going to stick to the things that you know you're going to be pushed and pulled into things you don't know and then you feel ashamed of not knowing it so you might be you might be you know tempted to answer those things and then you throw yourself into destruction your food may be under the eye of Allah protect us [Music] don't be like those people who describe Allah's religion by saying this is lying I have no knowledge they speak with no knowledge also Allah says don't speak about matter you have no knowledge of you'll be questioned about what you say the day of Journey that's what the Ayah tells us Allah says that's what I want from the Ayah the last part of the ISE is that you speak about Allah which you don't have no knowledge on foreign at the beginning of seeking knowledge is I mean on a higher scale a larger scale let's chuck if you learned something go home teach your family your wife your children educate them educate your neighbors and all of that around you about the certain things that you learned but to put yourself forward and to then preach and teach this comes with more than just knowledge of certain things it requires as I mentioned you have to be grounded to a level you also have to have basira insights of matters okay that also has to be uh has to be there so that distress of to where do I start preaching where do I start teaching am I going to be from the people Allah says in the Quran yeah concealed knowledge withhold knowledge and don't share it with the people Allah says in the Quran Allah says that you will clarifying the matter to the people and you will not conceal it so someone might say I'm scared I might fall into that or I might fall into the Hadith or the prophet that sallallahu what he said about the person who conceals knowledge the prophet Allah he said anyone who's asked about a knowledge on a matter and he conceals there will be a braid on it will be placed on their mouth which would be held around their neck because of the knowledge that they concealed so the point brothers and sisters is this distress inshallahu ta'ala wouldn't be a worry for you in the sense your teachers who are teaching you your instructors your society that will inshallah tell you what you should and shouldn't do once you put that question towards them inshallah once you advise take their advice he said I never gave fatwa I never taught I never said anything until I consulted a large number of Scholars in Medina okay so now inshallah I want us to go into the 14th distress just distressor that the student of knowledge indoors which is one of the deceptions of shaytan on the soul is that it scares and terrifies the person when it comes to finance a student of knowledge is like I need money I need to make money I'm struck I don't want to be uh financially uh Ani low I want to be able to sustain myself so shaytan terrifies the person scares the person and a lot of people they pick distress and tiredness from this benefits from that so the students like I can't seek knowledge because only this much money in order to repel this you have to understand that your soul and your risk is all in Allah's hands the way that you're gonna your soul is gonna leave your body the day Allah wants it to be is the same way when it comes to your risk Allah says there is no Beast there's no creation there is nothing that walks on the face of this earth except that the provision is written by Allah also um you have to always remember Allah is going to Aid and support those he loves Allah is striving to protect his religion is okay you need to remember that don't stress too much if you make the Dunya your ultimate goal you're going to be stressful the prophet Allah foreign foreign contentment in your heart will make you rich inside the Dunya will come to you on its knees begging for you the Dunya will present itself to you also having good thoughts of Allah the Lord who did it forsake you in the womb of your mother when you were not working for it why would he forsake you now that you are working and you're striving for it are we all together brothers and sisters why is it that poverty has distressed you and caused your hardship and hard headache and your whole entire mind and heart is stressed over this this issue of poverty in the living the one who is good to you in the past you have to remember he's going to take care of you of the remaining of your life Allah is going to take care of you also take the efforts and the hard Works to attain money yeah and it doesn't mean you seek knowledge and you totally abandon when it comes to looking for this Allah tells us when you finish the prayer Allah didn't say just stay there and don't don't do anything else Allah then says strive on the earth go out and spread and disperse on the earth and look for what whatever I look for the provision of Allah also risk foreign you have to know that the provision that you're looking for you're only taking the amount that your body needs you know excessive and more and who am I you take as a student of knowledge the amount that will give you strength and that which will take care of your need if a bread a bread can take away the hunger take the bread don't bus yourself with I need meat I need this and I need that is he says the kingdom of kislah what suffices you from it is a piece of bread yeah I need uh it was Haruna Rashid once was asked if you he said to a man give me advice he said I'll ask you a question said what is the question he said the question to you is if it happens that your whole kingdom is requested from you in exchange for water you are thirsty for you're extremely thirsty you need that cup of water okay and but you have to pass uh you have to give your kingdom for it would you do it of course I would there's a cup of water which determines your life and death your body needs it you're dehydrating you're about to die you need a nice cup of water but you pass over your kingdom all of it and everything that has said yes I would the man he said destruction be to a kingdom that's not even equal to a cup of water and a cup of water is more valuable than it does that make sense Brothers the great scholar he was he said leave of stressing over provision all you who is heedless it is Allah has already finished with this you're under your provision of what is what is its issue some of the copies they say family why haven't you thought with the correct mind and everything other than just thinking over what your use your brain and think and produce things don't think about something I want to bite I want to eat this whole day foreign reality is that so many people are working towards fulfilling their body and abandoning fulfilling the soul which is immoral of the need the 15th distress is foreign this is the biggest one brothers are like I want to get married or I want to seek knowledge would you advise me since this is the same thing is it marriage or is it uh seeking knowledge and as you know Allah it is so the student of knowledge while seeking knowledge he gets distracted and distressed and sad he doesn't he wants to seek knowledge but he has the desire for a wife and yeah is that yeah if a person seeks knowledge if a person marries yeah and he uh he can't acknowledge no doubt it becomes hard but he can't seek knowledge especially if certain things happen you seeking knowledge can be easy whilst married for example if a brother is really really really full of desires and all the time he's thinking about his desires and how to fulfill it he won't be able to memorize nobody be able to understand his brain his brain is preoccupied so when he marries a wife that stress and that desire that is burning him and frying him and roasting him is gonna go as soon as he gets married right as soon as he gets married so then the the marriage for him is very beneficial but the person brothers and sisters who doesn't have these desires should not try to create this for themselves because it's better for you not to have no burden then some burden right so if it doesn't come to your mind you don't have even you don't even have that desire actually benefit from your time and seek knowledge but if you are distracting and the desires is burning you then go for marriage inshallah it will release that tension it will release that uh feeling and that distress to remove it from you Allah but remind sorry I should remind you and you should also remember which is Mario what a righteous wife and sister Mary a righteous brother if you're seeking knowledge Sister Mary brother that's like-minded brother married sister that's like-minded you seeking knowledge he wants to seek knowledge with you okay and also another thing you need Brothers is that if you do get married and uh you have a wife uh you have to have yes the situation of your household you have to control it in a way where you connect you can go and seek knowledge now but if the house is all a mess you're not going to be able to acknowledge because you left everything as a mess and the wife is onto your case and everybody's onto your case and you can't really free your time for seeking knowledge so if you do get married the same applies to the sister if you want to study you want to memorize and everything first of all fulfill the responsibility of your husband and the responsibility of your children and then inshallah keep that time for your seeking of knowledge and also finding a person who is or if they're not they're a good person bring them on board with with what you're doing you're like come on let's do it we can do it together let's go out and do that together inshallah also remind your partner whether it be the white sister reminding the brother or the brother reminding his wife always remind each other about the virtue of knowledge and what you're going to get for it inshallah okay another thing I say to Brothers is that if your wife is helping you seeking knowledge then always remember the hairdo to Habu buy a lot of gifts I'm pretty sure appreciation for what she's doing for you because that will inshallah support and it will help you there's 16 inshallah distressed that students of knowledge encounter C is the distress of my children unless inshallah similar to the previous point which is you have to do the following things first of all you have to organize your time when it comes to your family and your seeking of knowledge number two you try your best to bring your family on board with what you're doing so it's not just something you're doing by yourself another thing is all the time he takes care of them and he preserves them also choosing a wife who's gonna help you in this if your wife is an obstacle the children are going to go up astray your Offspring your children are going to go astray okay so this is vital inshallah it's important that you take it on a boat the 17th inshallah which is every now and then the shahua that Allah created with humans starts to kick in the Dunya becomes glamorous and Glitters to you see that as Allah says sometimes you go to a circle you meet certain people they're well off they're financially they'll say come let me take you to the desk your own skilled body but you haven't got much and they take you in a Lamborghini and you're like wow and then maybe this might cause that Abdullahi a daddy you he said that the scholars and the people of knowledge they used to say that people Allah loved and appreciated Allah loves them and accept their acceptance on this Earth they used to say in the zoo to be aesthetic and be detached from the Dunya it actually relaxes the heart and the mind and the body and having that passion and that desire for the junior wanting to run after it now it increases the distress and the hardship and it will physically harm your body your body will change you become far out of shape you're tired you're fatigued Etc that's what will happen to you okay some of the scholars also said distress sadness depression all occurs from deficiency in your obedience and running after running after the Dunya so the Dunya brothers and sisters running after it will destroy you and this characteristics Brothers of get rid of that when it comes to the Dunya Hills it increases in you used to say always running after the duty and Desiring the Dunya and longing for the Dunya tourism it will bring into your heart distressing sadness and all of that used to say having a long life and thinking that sorry thinking you can have a long life in this Dunya have the student is very short so yeah I do that as Allah said a very short period of time not going to take too long the A.T distress is Muslim you're seeking knowledge you're learning and then you see the situation of the Muslim around the world and this causes you hardship you think what can I do about it how do I deal with this issue this is causing me a lot of problems remember um in order for you to change the situation of the Muslims you have to first of all build yourself charity starts from home if you've built yourself and you've mashallah grounded yourself and you've gained understanding of your religion you've you've worked on your right your actions and you've come with righteous actions that contributes to the rectification and the change of the ummah it does are we all together brothers and sisters if you look at many great Scholars about Islam they rectified and they changed things through teaching and education that was a form of changing you know for example with a great scholar of India and he's from one of the shocks of all those the Saudi Scholars he was their teacher the British colony when they came to India they put him in prison and they kept him in prison and he used to say for me to remove the harm of the Muslims by the British is by me teaching foreign is uh Desiring leadership when you haven't really reached this is also another distrust students go through they want to be something but they haven't done anything yet I want to remind you of the statement of um before you become leaders before you become leaders and in charge my brother understand and my sister understand the religion inshallah the student of knowledge they distrust the majority of them go through in this in this particular one is that a beginner student officer is in the middle the uh distress enters him from two places number one is related to Imam is that he wants to be the Imam of the Mischief she's a beginner I was in the middle so he wants to leave the Salah he wants to do the Adan this is one the second one is for example he wants to be a teacher now he wants to sit in the message he wants to be given positions and jobs and things like that so the students this happens to them and the hack is if you're trying to achieve something and you hasten it before it's time you'll be prevented from it okay not to mention that sometimes this could be a reason for you to not carry on seeking knowledge because sometimes hard to for you to reconcile them it's really hard for you to reconcile between the two so that's why um seek knowledge before you take what before you take a position bukhari came after um and even after when you gain knowledge you still have to seek knowledge it's not just not before that only but actually even after you do the last and the final distress which is the 20th is okay I kind of mentioned it which is the person coming forward to want to benefit the people it's another distressed that student of knowledge goes through my brothers and sisters the life of the pursuit of knowledge is true is the other one is the time when you take and the time when you give spend more time in your life in taking than giving that's logical right money people do that with it right they take more than they give right how could you not do that with knowledge take more knowledge than what you get time to teach other people why because you want to be precise in what you learn Precision of knowledge is vital so in order for you to learn sorry to preach you're not your level of knowledge should be high or today because some of the great Scholars of Islam it's known that they died and there was no one who learned certain Sciences from them because they couldn't find the audience for it I'm going to stop there inshallah um and I'm gonna end it there inshallah Allah foreign foreign foreign
