00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.500
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:10.740
Say: Are those who know and those who do not know equal?

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:16.739
The splendor of knowledge according to wisdom

00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:21.739
By Dr. Hamza Ibn Faye Al Fathi

00:00:21.739 --> 00:00:29.600
May God protect him with the virtue of fairness

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.590
The scholar Al-Shawkani, may God have mercy on him, said

00:00:35.590 --> 00:00:40.409
He died in the year one thousand two hundred and fifty AH

00:00:40.409 --> 00:00:44.409
If you, student, set yourself up for fairness

00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:47.409
And not intolerance to any sect

00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:50.409
Nor for any scholar

00:00:50.409 --> 00:00:53.909
Rather, it made all people equal in status

00:00:53.909 --> 00:00:56.909
Because they belong to Sharia law

00:00:56.909 --> 00:01:01.909
They are doomed to something they cannot find a way out of

00:01:01.909 --> 00:01:04.409
They cannot transform

00:01:04.409 --> 00:01:08.409
In addition to rising above that

00:01:08.409 --> 00:01:12.409
Because someone from the nation must work

00:01:12.409 --> 00:01:14.409
In the opinion of one of them

00:01:14.409 --> 00:01:17.909
Or he must imitate him and accept what he says

00:01:17.909 --> 00:01:20.909
I have gained the greatest benefits of knowledge

00:01:20.909 --> 00:01:23.409
And the souls of his pioneers won

00:01:23.409 --> 00:01:27.530
For the qualities of a student of knowledge

00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:31.530
Setting oneself to be fair and just with opponents

00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:35.599
In issues, diligence, and follow-ups

00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:40.599
There is no sanctity for any doctrine, sheikh, method, or book

00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.599
At the expense of a directory or static text

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.099
Or a transmitted consensus

00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:49.099
Infallibility is only for legal evidence

00:01:49.099 --> 00:01:51.099
Not for the jurist scholar

00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:54.099
Because he is human, he makes mistakes

00:01:54.099 --> 00:01:57.099
Everything is taken from what he said and left out

00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.540
Except for the owner of the greatest grave, peace and blessings be upon him

00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:05.540
This is the most valuable benefit of knowledge

00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:08.539
Fairness and impartiality of truth

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:12.539
And not showing favoritism to anyone

00:02:12.539 --> 00:02:15.539
Because scientific courtesy is fanaticism

00:02:15.539 --> 00:02:17.539
And turn away from the truth

00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:20.539
And spoiling the path and diligence

00:02:20.539 --> 00:02:22.539
And in the Qur’an

00:02:22.539 --> 00:02:24.539
Do not follow your desires

00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:28.639
If the student is raised on that

00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.639
His religion was safe for him and his drink was pleasant

00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.639
His qualities were good and he was blessed with his knowledge

00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.020
He will not be a true scholar

00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:43.020
Until he devotes himself to knowledge and rejects his desires

00:02:43.020 --> 00:02:45.020
He lives for the evidence

00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:48.020
The approach of the imams before us follows

00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:51.020
By sipping from the sea of Quran and Sunnah

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.020
Not the tone of tradition and fanaticism

00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:57.020
As Imam Ahmed, may God have mercy on him, said

00:02:57.020 --> 00:03:01.020
Do not imitate me or imitate Malik or Al-Shafi’i

00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:04.020
Neither Al-Awza’i nor Al-Thawri

00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:06.020
And take from where they took

00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:09.020
And the place where the revelation took them

00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:11.020
Not the venerable books of doctrine

00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:13.020
Nor the mayor of the sheikhs

00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:16.020
Or duplicate student body

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:18.020
God is the Helper

00:03:18.020 --> 00:03:21.280
How beautiful it is for jurists to read

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.280
In the books of their opponents

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.280
And they receive it with reverence

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.280
Without fanaticism towards one school of jurisprudence over another

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.280
But they seek the truth

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.280
They recognize the statements of their opponents

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.280
Especially since some of the books are sectarian

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.280
Others diminish their value or evidence

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.280
We were all judged by the Qur’an and Sunnah

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.280
And good reasoning for them

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.280
And peace
