1 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:03,819 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2 00:00:03,819 --> 00:00:06,259 The life of the ancestor 3 00:00:06,259 --> 00:00:09,259 Between words and action 4 00:00:09,259 --> 00:00:13,519 By Sheikh Ahmed bin Nasser Al-Tayyar 5 00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:18,920 Our duty towards the righteous predecessors 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:27,620 We must pay attention to my words and the lives of the righteous predecessors and well-established scholars and highlight them 7 00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:29,620 For the following 8 00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:34,619 First, fulfill their duty and fulfill their rights upon us 9 00:00:34,619 --> 00:00:40,619 We benefited from them and our situation was improved after God Almighty because of them 10 00:00:40,619 --> 00:00:45,619 It is their right for us to show and spread their knowledge and exploits 11 00:00:45,619 --> 00:00:50,619 We ask God Almighty to unite us with them in Paradise 12 00:00:50,619 --> 00:00:52,939 Secondly 13 00:00:52,939 --> 00:00:57,939 Taking care of their words and behavior, being attached to them and loving them 14 00:00:57,939 --> 00:01:02,939 It brings the believer closer to them and makes him resemble them 15 00:01:02,939 --> 00:01:05,939 As close as possible to the righteous predecessors 16 00:01:05,939 --> 00:01:09,939 The believer is righteous and adheres to the Sunnah 17 00:01:09,939 --> 00:01:13,939 He alienates and stays away from passion and innovation 18 00:01:13,939 --> 00:01:17,170 There are few mistakes and errors 19 00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:19,170 And from the letter of the one who deviated 20 00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:22,170 Some people made many mistakes 21 00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:25,170 He became closer by keeping them away from the guidance of their predecessors 22 00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:28,230 And their lack of care about their behavior 23 00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:32,230 If you wish to join the people, follow their path 24 00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:36,620 It has become clearly visible to those who walk 25 00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:39,620 This path must be taken 26 00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:44,620 The imams of its people succeeded the council for their guidance and knowledge 27 00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:46,620 Like Al-Shafi’i and Ahmad 28 00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:48,620 Ishaq and Abu Ubaid 29 00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:51,870 And whoever follows their path 30 00:01:51,870 --> 00:01:55,870 Whoever claims to take this path is not their path 31 00:01:55,870 --> 00:01:58,870 He fell into troubles and dangers 32 00:01:58,870 --> 00:02:01,870 He took what was not permissible to take 33 00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:03,870 Leaving what needs to be done 34 00:02:03,870 --> 00:02:06,189 Third 35 00:02:06,189 --> 00:02:10,189 To highlight their words and revive their effects 36 00:02:10,189 --> 00:02:14,189 God repel many heresies and deviations 37 00:02:14,189 --> 00:02:16,189 Suspicions and desires 38 00:02:16,189 --> 00:02:20,189 There is only right or wrong 39 00:02:20,189 --> 00:02:23,189 The weakness of truth is not the strength of falsehood 40 00:02:23,189 --> 00:02:27,189 The truth is only strong by the strength of its people 41 00:02:27,189 --> 00:02:31,189 The people of truth are the righteous predecessors, companions and followers 42 00:02:31,189 --> 00:02:34,189 And whoever follows them with goodness 43 00:02:34,189 --> 00:02:37,189 Those who adhere to the Qur’an and Sunnah 44 00:02:37,189 --> 00:02:42,189 Highlighting their influences, morals, beliefs and approaches 45 00:02:42,189 --> 00:02:45,189 It calls for people to accept what they are 46 00:02:45,189 --> 00:02:48,189 It corrects the path of those affiliated with Islam 47 00:02:48,189 --> 00:02:50,189 And their darkness increases 48 00:02:50,189 --> 00:02:56,800 This inevitably leads to their strength and the weakness of those who oppose them 49 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,800 Fourth 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,800 To highlight their words and revive their effects 51 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,800 It makes the Muslim distinguish between right and wrong 52 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,800 Who is affiliated with knowledge and advocacy 53 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,800 Whoever sees him violates the guidance of our righteous predecessors in behavior or morals 54 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,800 Or beliefs or method 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,800 His mistake or misguidance 56 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,800 Then the Muslim will have insight and guidance 57 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,800 He is safe from misguidance, deviation, and deception by those who stray from the path of truth 58 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,800 No matter how great his fame is 59 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,800 His style was good and his influence reached 60 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,310 Fifth 61 00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:40,310 To make the guidance of the righteous predecessors and their understanding of the issues 62 00:03:40,310 --> 00:03:44,310 Their interpretation of the legal texts is the ruling in the event of disagreement 63 00:03:44,310 --> 00:03:47,310 And the decisive factor in conflict 64 00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:53,439 When people disagree, especially those affiliated with knowledge, advocacy, and goodness 65 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,439 On issues related to faith, methodology, behavior and ethics 66 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:01,439 The guidance of our predecessors is the ruling 67 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:06,439 The one who does not refrain from seeking judgment except a deviant and misguided person 68 00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:10,659 Perhaps each one cited a verse or hadith as evidence 69 00:04:10,659 --> 00:04:13,659 The other opposes it with a verse or hadith 70 00:04:13,659 --> 00:04:15,659 So we tell them 71 00:04:15,659 --> 00:04:19,660 Let us look at the understanding of the Companions, the Successors, and their followers 72 00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:23,660 Those for whom charity has been definitively proven 73 00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:27,660 We enjoy the understanding of the well-established scholars who followed them 74 00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:31,660 Those who have a truthful tongue in the nation 75 00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:35,759 Our understanding cannot be better than theirs 76 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,759 Nor are our minds better than theirs 77 00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:40,759 Nor are our sciences more established than theirs 78 00:04:41,790 --> 00:04:43,790 If they agree on something 79 00:04:43,790 --> 00:04:46,790 We must surrender to them 80 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:49,790 The nation does not unite on misguidance
