WEBVTT 00:00:00.820 --> 00:00:03.819 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.819 --> 00:00:06.259 The life of the ancestor 00:00:06.259 --> 00:00:09.259 Between words and action 00:00:09.259 --> 00:00:13.519 By Sheikh Ahmed bin Nasser Al-Tayyar 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:18.920 Our duty towards the righteous predecessors 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 00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:29.620 For the following 00:00:29.620 --> 00:00:34.619 First, fulfill their duty and fulfill their rights upon us 00:00:34.619 --> 00:00:40.619 We benefited from them and our situation was improved after God Almighty because of them 00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:45.619 It is their right for us to show and spread their knowledge and exploits 00:00:45.619 --> 00:00:50.619 We ask God Almighty to unite us with them in Paradise 00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:52.939 Secondly 00:00:52.939 --> 00:00:57.939 Taking care of their words and behavior, being attached to them and loving them 00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:02.939 It brings the believer closer to them and makes him resemble them 00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:05.939 As close as possible to the righteous predecessors 00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:09.939 The believer is righteous and adheres to the Sunnah 00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:13.939 He alienates and stays away from passion and innovation 00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:17.170 There are few mistakes and errors 00:01:17.170 --> 00:01:19.170 And from the letter of the one who deviated 00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:22.170 Some people made many mistakes 00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:25.170 He became closer by keeping them away from the guidance of their predecessors 00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:28.230 And their lack of care about their behavior 00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:32.230 If you wish to join the people, follow their path 00:01:32.230 --> 00:01:36.620 It has become clearly visible to those who walk 00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:39.620 This path must be taken 00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:44.620 The imams of its people succeeded the council for their guidance and knowledge 00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:46.620 Like Al-Shafi’i and Ahmad 00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:48.620 Ishaq and Abu Ubaid 00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:51.870 And whoever follows their path 00:01:51.870 --> 00:01:55.870 Whoever claims to take this path is not their path 00:01:55.870 --> 00:01:58.870 He fell into troubles and dangers 00:01:58.870 --> 00:02:01.870 He took what was not permissible to take 00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:03.870 Leaving what needs to be done 00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:06.189 Third 00:02:06.189 --> 00:02:10.189 To highlight their words and revive their effects 00:02:10.189 --> 00:02:14.189 God repel many heresies and deviations 00:02:14.189 --> 00:02:16.189 Suspicions and desires 00:02:16.189 --> 00:02:20.189 There is only right or wrong 00:02:20.189 --> 00:02:23.189 The weakness of truth is not the strength of falsehood 00:02:23.189 --> 00:02:27.189 The truth is only strong by the strength of its people 00:02:27.189 --> 00:02:31.189 The people of truth are the righteous predecessors, companions and followers 00:02:31.189 --> 00:02:34.189 And whoever follows them with goodness 00:02:34.189 --> 00:02:37.189 Those who adhere to the Qur’an and Sunnah 00:02:37.189 --> 00:02:42.189 Highlighting their influences, morals, beliefs and approaches 00:02:42.189 --> 00:02:45.189 It calls for people to accept what they are 00:02:45.189 --> 00:02:48.189 It corrects the path of those affiliated with Islam 00:02:48.189 --> 00:02:50.189 And their darkness increases 00:02:50.189 --> 00:02:56.800 This inevitably leads to their strength and the weakness of those who oppose them 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.800 Fourth 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.800 To highlight their words and revive their effects 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.800 It makes the Muslim distinguish between right and wrong 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.800 Who is affiliated with knowledge and advocacy 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.800 Whoever sees him violates the guidance of our righteous predecessors in behavior or morals 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.800 Or beliefs or method 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.800 His mistake or misguidance 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.800 Then the Muslim will have insight and guidance 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 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.800 No matter how great his fame is 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.800 His style was good and his influence reached 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.310 Fifth 00:03:36.310 --> 00:03:40.310 To make the guidance of the righteous predecessors and their understanding of the issues 00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:44.310 Their interpretation of the legal texts is the ruling in the event of disagreement 00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:47.310 And the decisive factor in conflict 00:03:47.310 --> 00:03:53.439 When people disagree, especially those affiliated with knowledge, advocacy, and goodness 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.439 On issues related to faith, methodology, behavior and ethics 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.439 The guidance of our predecessors is the ruling 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:06.439 The one who does not refrain from seeking judgment except a deviant and misguided person 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.659 Perhaps each one cited a verse or hadith as evidence 00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:13.659 The other opposes it with a verse or hadith 00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:15.659 So we tell them 00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:19.660 Let us look at the understanding of the Companions, the Successors, and their followers 00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:23.660 Those for whom charity has been definitively proven 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:27.660 We enjoy the understanding of the well-established scholars who followed them 00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:31.660 Those who have a truthful tongue in the nation 00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:35.759 Our understanding cannot be better than theirs 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.759 Nor are our minds better than theirs 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.759 Nor are our sciences more established than theirs 00:04:41.790 --> 00:04:43.790 If they agree on something 00:04:43.790 --> 00:04:46.790 We must surrender to them 00:04:46.790 --> 00:04:49.790 The nation does not unite on misguidance
