    Concentration is critical
    May 22 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers. Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and companions. Peace be upon them all. And after that, my dear brothers and sisters, there is a question that I keep getting asked every once in a while about whether I am willing to, and if I am not willing to, then why I am not willing to, present my lectures in shorter forms. So people ask me, can you, you know, whatever you have been, you are trying to teach, can you do this in five minutes? Or can you do it in, you know, something like this, which is a very short time. And I have always resisted that. I've always said no. Now, I want to address that and try and explain mostly for my friends who ask me this question. I know they're very sincere people. So it's really in honour of their sincerity that I want to that I want to make this even stronger. So, it's not a disclaimer, but it's something that I want to state. And my answer to them is as follows. Which is, take the, as we always say, you know, the best example is the example of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And the best example is the example of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And the example of his, those who followed him in Exodus. So let me give you a couple of examples. Take for example, Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu. Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu used to, he said, somebody asked him, they said, how is it that you have, you have quoted so many hadiths, whereas Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu and others who have, who were and who spent far longer with Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, have not quoted that many hadiths. So Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu, now he's not criticizing Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu, but generally speaking, he said that while you people, meaning he's talking to whoever asked that question, he said, while you people were busy in the markets and in earning livings and in doing business, I used to spend that time with Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He said, I used to spend so much time with him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that I would not even have time to eat. And there were times when I would fall down and I would faint. I would faint with exhaustion and with hunger. And people thought that I was having an epileptic fit. And they would, those days the sort of cure or antidote to this epileptic fits was that people used to, you used to make them smell leather sandals. So they would hold up, you know, their slippers under his nose. And he said, people didn't realize that the reason I fell down was not because of epilepsy, but because of hunger. And the reason I was so hungry, to the point of starvation, to the point of literally falling down, was because I spent all that time with Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Second example. Imam Qi gur самой Larif was sent by his mother small little kid. So he came and Imam Malik had a system where he would give dars of hadith muwatta between Asr and Maghrib in the courtyard of the masjid and Nabi Muhammad Sharif and then after the Salat of Maghrib Salat, he would give the dars inside the masjid between Maghrib and Nisha. So two sessions, not ten minute beats, two sessions. So the two of them together were a couple of hours. Maybe more than that. The time between Asr and Maghrib in the Hijaz is a long time. And then between Maghrib and Nisha. So these dars he used to give. So now he comes there, he starts the dars and this little kid less than ten years old is sitting right in front at his feet. And as Imam Malik is speaking he notices that this little kid is doodling in the sand with his index finger. So because there was no carpets and stuff. So he would sit on the sand. And this little kid is with his finger, he seems to be doodling, making little patterns.

  • Focus on the effort

    Focus on the effort
    May 21 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. Wasalatu was-salamu ala al-sharafi al-anbiya wal-mursaleen. Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sallam. Tasliman kathiran kathiran. I want to deal with two questions that two different people asked me. One, a friend of mine from Hyderabad, he asked me, he said, we keep making effort, we don't succeed, we lose energy. How to deal with that? And the second one was, Umar Abd al-Ali asked me, he is in medical school. So he said, we have been given information that we will have a very important qualifying exam, which will be for eight hours, the exam, in May 2026, which is 12 months from now. And we know what all we have to study in that one year, and how it goes forward and so on. But he said, there are two things. One is that this thought of this exam 12 months from now is overpowering in the head. And secondly, the regular work of the college also is there. That's going on. So how to deal with this? Like, too much. The answer is very simple. And the answer is structure. Structure. Create a timetable for the day. And do not use an app for that. Do not use an app. There is a psychological advantage in writing with your hand. So take a normal, you take a normal notebook. Make two columns. In the left column, put time. In the right column, put the activity you have to do. And how much time is needed for that. So from the time you open your eyes in the morning to the time you go to bed in the night, that must be in the timetable. And then, second part, which is, follow that like a religion. Nothing must move you away from that timetable. No matter what happens in life. That timetable must be followed. Otherwise it's a waste of time. You write it down, you do nothing, makes no sense. So follow that very, very, very strictly. So that is why I remind myself and you, focus on your effort. Not on talent, not even on your long-term goals. Your daily effort. I'll give you another example. Take, many of you have the desire to become Hafez. Alhamdulillah. Very good. But tell me, what is the most important thing if you are doing HIFS? The number one, most, absolutely important thing. What is it? It is not the desire to make HIFS, it is not the quality of your Usta. The most important thing in making HIFS is your daily Daur. Right? I memorized one page today, tomorrow I repeat that, I revise that, day after tomorrow I memorize page two, third day I revise two pages, then I have third page, and I revise third page. This is the number one most important thing to do. If you do not do your repetition, you cannot become Hafez. Impossible. And that repetition will kill you. I mean that is so difficult. It's not easy. It's very, very difficult. And the beauty is, within quote beauty, the more you memorize, the more difficult it becomes. Because the portion you have to repeat is more. But there is no other way. That is the way. As long as you go on repeating, it trips through the mind. But if you don't repeat, and even if you miss one single day, whatever may be the reason, the reason makes no difference. My grandmother came by at my wedding to attend, my friend comes. Makes no difference. You missed today's Daur, believe me brother, you are in serious trouble. Because the next day, it gets doubled. You can't make it up. You will kill yourself. You will not be able to do it. Must be done on time at that time. So create a timetable. Focus on your effort. It's good to have a long-term goal, no doubt about that. Right? But focus on your step by step by step. Are you taking those steps? I used to go trekking. I remember one day I went with two other friends of mine. All of them young. I was the manager, they were my sisters. We climbed a mountain of what? I think it was 5,000, 5,500 feet. And the track was almost vertical. It was very, very steep track. And we started from sea level and we were going up 5,000 feet. So it is, it was extremely hot

  • Following Madhab

    Following Madhab
    May 20 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and his companions. Peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and his companions. From Abadu, somebody asked me a question about following a religion. So, how many of you can name what are the four madhabs in the Ahlus Sunnah wa Jama'ah? No, I know you all are this group. Yes. I won't take your name because this goes worldwide, so they won't know who it is, but you can ask me first. What are the four madhabs? Maafi, Hanafi, Ambalee. I'm asking you, Vaan. I don't know what's wrong. Nafsi. Whatever I want. That madhab? No. Maliki. Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Ambalee. Right? Okay. So, what is your madhab? No. What is your madhab? Islam. Islam is not a madhab. Islam is a deen. Hanafi. Hanafi. What Hanafi madhab follows who? Imam Hanafi. Imam Hanafi. What is Imam Hanafi's name? Maafi. Imam Hanafi. Maafi. No, I'm not trying to insult anybody. I'm just trying to show you the problem with people who say, I follow, I am Hanafi. They do not even know the name of the Imam who they follow. They do not even know whether Hanafi is his name, whether it is a kunya, whether it is the name of his cat. We don't know. Right? But we are willing to fight to the death with somebody who is not Hanafi. Inna liillahi wa inna ilahi rajim. So please understand this. This is a very big musibat in this ummah. I am Hanafi. I am Shafi. Be Hanafi. No problem. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Right? Al turab min khadam al Imam Abu Hanifa ala raasi wa ala aini. The dust from his feet is on my head and on my eyes. No problem. Alhamdulillah. Follow. But at least learn something. So let me explain something to you. Please understand this. Number one. In al ahlu sunnah wal jama'ah, which is what we are Sunni Muslims, we follow, there are four madhahib, four schools of jurisprudence. These are not schools of thought. All kinds of nonsense is spoken in the neighborhood. It's not a school of thought. It's a school of jurisprudence. These are fuqaha. They are not philosophers. They are not phala. They are not falasifah. They are fuqaha. Right? Four schools of jurisprudence. We believe, all of us, that it is acceptable to follow any of these four ayimma al quwara. Number one. Number two. It is not okay to criticize somebody who is following another imam. And I will explain to you from the Quran and Sunnah why it is not possible and not permissible to criticize. It is not permissible to criticize somebody following another imam. So if you say you are Hanafi, most welcome. You find out the name of the imam first of all. But if you are Hanafi, most welcome. Be Hanafi. But if my brother here is Shafi, it is not permissible for you to criticize him for following Imam Shafi Rahmatullah Ali. And it is not permissible for you to criticize him for following Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullah Ali. And I will give you the dalail for this. When we say we follow an imam. Say for example, I will give you one of the most common things which we see every day. Which is how we pray. Right? So if you are Hanafi, how many times do you raise your hands? Once. Once. Right? When? Starting of Salah. Starting of Salah. What is it called? That particular motion? Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. Learn. So first rule. If you follow some imam, follow him. Follow with knowledge. Don't just say blindly, I am Hanafi, I am Shafi. What is the name of the imam? I don't even know the name of the imam. What do you mean? Go and learn. Number two. It is not okay to criticize somebody else. I said an example, I will give you. In Salah. The Hanaf, people who follow Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullah Ali, they raise their hands once to the level of their ears. When they do that, what is called Takbir Tahrimah or Takbiratul H...
