We meet again for 1:28 our study session with Bang Debi. 1:31 Praise be to Allah, we are currently at 1:34 the place of KH Adiak Daud, Kak 1:37 Adiak Daud. In the scouts, we usually 1:42 call him "Kakak"(Brother). Yes. Doctor 1:45 Esha. He has many titles that everyone 1:47 already knows. Uh-huh. We pray for 1:51 brother Adiak Daud, may Allah grant him 1:53 health and increase his provision for 1:55 he has 1:58 waqaf—what you call it—donated his 2:00 place for us to hold this study session 2:03 to seek knowledge. This time, our study 2:09 session will be recorded by TV and will 2:12 be broadcast, God willing, throughout 2:14 Indonesia, so that this knowledge isn't 2:17 just for us here, but our friends who 2:20 aren't present can also enjoy the 2:22 knowledge that will be shared. The 2:26 theme that will be raised is the fitnas 2:29 (tribulations) coming to the Islamic 2:31 world. That is what we will discuss 2:33 today with our teacher, Bang Debi 2:35 Nasution. Our teacher from long ago. 2:39 Okay. As an introduction, perhaps we 2:45 invite our host, Mr. KH KK Daud, Dr. SH 2:50 , we invite you to give a greeting and 2:55 introduction. Please, Mr. Adi Daud. 3:00 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious 3:00 , the Most Merciful. Peace be upon you, 3:01 and Allah's mercy and blessings. 3:02 And peace be upon you, and Allah's 3:04 mercy. 3:04 All praise be to Allah. All praise be 3:06 to Allah who sent His messenger with 3:07 guidance, I bear witness that there is 3:09 no god but Allah, alone with no partner 3:11 , and I bear witness that Muhammad is 3:13 His servant and messenger, no prophet 3:15 after him. O Allah, send blessings and 3:18 peace upon our prophet Muhammad, peace 3:20 be upon him. I bear witness that there 3:24 is no god but Allah, alone with no 3:25 partner, and I bear witness that 3:26 Muhammad is His servant and messenger, 3:28 no prophet after him. Dear brothers and 3:30 sisters. First, Al Ustaz Bang Debi 3:32 Nasution, our honored guest. Al Ustaz 3:37 Bang Debi Nasution. May he have a long 3:39 life blessed by Allah Subhanahu wa 3:40 Ta'ala. 3:41 Amen. 3:41 Second, my friend, my dear brother, 3:45 Krishna, who they say is now Shi'a, 3:49 right? He wears two hats. What does 3:55 that mean? It means we are old now, 3:58 we're ABG, the "post-fifty" generation. 4:02 May Allah reward you with goodness to 4:04 all the friends who are present, 4:06 brothers and sisters in faith. I would 4:08 personally love it if we could hold 4:10 this once a month here. 4:12 Yes. Yes. If you want to do that. God 4:14 willing, it's a bit far for Bang Debi 4:16 to come here once a month. Here, praise 4:18 be to Allah, every Tuesday many people 4:21 attend, what do you call it, my wife's 4:23 study group. I mean, my wife—the 4:26 first wife, I mean there's only one, 4:28 Bang. She's listening upstairs. Praise 4:31 be to Allah. Ha. 4:33 The first one. 4:34 Not necessarily. All right. Oh, there's 4:39 a radio here, Rasil Radio? And Rasil TV 4:42 as well. Wow, I have to be careful with 4:44 what I say then. So I think it's just 4:46 here. Praise be to God. I am also 4:50 grateful to be able to understand 4:52 religion. This religious knowledge is 4:53 from Brother Debi. Thank God, I first 4:55 studied Islam with Krishna. Studied. If 4:58 I study halfway, he studies a quarter. 5:01 So I'm better off than him, right? He 5:03 just comes and goes, comes and goes. If 5:05 I'm still better, I'm at least halfway 5:07 there, I still get half of it, right? 5:09 Yes, the book of monotheism, the basics 5:11 of faith, the three principles, I still 5:13 get them. Praise be to God. 5:16 I bought many books from Mecca back 5:18 then, but none of them I read. Just 5:20 give them to Brother Debi. Well, thank 5:23 God for, uh, yes, our long lives, God 5:26 willing. Thank God, our friends have 5:28 returned to God, we are still allowed 5:29 to marry again, right? Praise be to God 5:31 , yes. If it happens, like Krista, he's 5:34 afraid of his wife, he doesn't dare. 5:37 Yes. Friends who have just started 5:39 studying, praise be to God. This house, 5:41 thank God, my house, uh, since what 5:43 year? '93, yes. God willing, so don't 5:46 think about becoming a sports minister 5:47 again, right? This, thank God, no way. 5:50 Money, by God, not a penny of illicit 5:51 money have I eaten, none at all, right? 5:54 The house, praise be to God. All 5:55 challenges, obstacles, hurdles, the 5:57 Hambalang case, all have passed, right? 5:59 Nothing left, brother, right? Yes. Our 6:02 goal isn't the world, our goal is the 6:03 hereafter, right? For now, I'm not 6:06 involved in politics, just taking a 6:07 break for a while. Just, uh, leave it 6:11 to my brother. So old friends are here, 6:15 I see, mostly the sisters are the ones 6:19 who are here. Mangkuh, right? My noble 6:23 brother is here. Mangkuh is an 6:24 extraordinary person. Glory be to God. 6:26 Hah. Wow. Did you bring your wife? 6:30 No, right? Alone. He is extraordinary. 6:33 There is Agus DH, right? Praise be to 6:35 God. There is Brother Agus. There is 6:36 Brother Ayub, right? Thank God for the 6:38 old friends. There is Mas Toto, the old 6:41 friends. Who else? Mas Marwan, right? 6:47 He can already walk on water. Thank God 6:50 there is Mas Padiono, with all his 6:52 knowledge. Mas Padiono is here. Praise 6:55 be to God. And, uh, with Auntie NU, 6:57 right? Is Mother Teresia here or not? 7:01 Ms. Yuni. Ms. Yuni. Ms. Yuni. Oh, there 7:04 she is. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. 7:05 Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me. 7:07 Yesterday I thought Ms. Yoni. Is she 7:12 there? I have many sins indeed. I seek 7:16 forgiveness from God. So, praise be to 7:19 God, we can gather together in this 7:21 house, and regarding the slanders that 7:23 have come. I want to say a little, 7:26 maybe just an opening, may God reward 7:28 you for coming to this house, it's just 7:31 getting a bit hot because of the TV 7:33 news, but let's just stay in touch. Uh, 7:36 I would like to share a Hadith from Ibn 7:38 Majah. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be 7:41 upon him, said, "A time will come, 7:43 years full of deception," where years 7:45 filled with tribulations will come to 7:47 the Muslim community. And then, the 7:51 Prophet mentioned the signs, my friend, 7:54 the Prophet said, "The honest one will 7:57 be accused of lying." People who are 8:02 truthful are blamed, while those who 8:04 lie are considered truthful. "The 8:08 trustworthy one will be betrayed, and 8:10 the treacherous one will be trusted." 8:12 And at that time, many "Ruwaibidhah" 8:14 will emerge, yes, the Prophet said. Who 8:16 are the Ruwaibidhah? People who don't 8:18 actually understand religion, but they 8:20 are perceived to give extraordinary 8:22 fatwas so they gain many followers. Now 8:26 , this, brother Debi, these are the 8:27 tribulations coming, the "years full of 8:29 deception," where many tribulations 8:31 arrive, and those tribulations appear 8:32 in this era. Now, in this era, there 8:36 are two signs. What if I'm wrong? There 8:40 are two signs in this era. The first is 8:43 when the leaders lead their people, 8:46 nation, or society toward the abyss of 8:49 destruction, toward "Darul Bawar." That 8:53 is in Surah Ibrahim, verse 28. If the 8:56 leaders lead toward the abyss of 8:58 destruction, those are the signs that 8:59 the era of tribulation has arrived. 9:02 Many Ruwaibidhah appear, people who 9:03 don't understand religion. Who claim 9:05 themselves to be Ustaz. Even though 9:08 they carry crystal meth. See, that's 9:09 how it is. Many artists get deceived, 9:12 right? That includes, that includes 9:15 many tribulations. A tribulation where 9:18 a professor doctor says what? 9:20 Assalamualaikum. Waalaikumassalam. 9:22 It’s funny, brother. A professor 9:23 doctor, an expert in Arabic. Just 9:25 saying "asalam,""waalaikumsalam." It 9:28 has no gender. I joined a group with 9:31 brother Debi too, right. No need to 9:34 mention names, because this is TV, back 9:36 in the band days. Wow, that group was 9:39 chaotic. But I followed it, finally, I 9:42 left, I exited because when we met in 9:44 person, my head was spinning looking at 9:46 it. There was a big figure, a friend of 9:49 brother Debi's back then, he said, an 9:51 artist figure. "Wow, why did I go on 9:54 Hajj?" Then when I returned, my parents 9:57 in Jogja said, "What were you doing 9:59 circling around there?""You can't even 10:01 go around here.""True enough." I 10:02 thought about it, and I was shocked. So 10:05 indeed, this is already that kind of 10:07 era. So I don't understand, really. 10:11 Friends, it's lucky we have study 10:13 circles, we have Ustaz Brother Debi and 10:16 Ustaz who truly lead us to the path of 10:18 truth. Yes, I got that basic data from 10:21 Brother Debi. So first, if the leaders 10:23 are already leading toward the abyss of 10:26 destruction, "Darul Bawar," Surah 10:27 Ibrahim. Or the second, An-Nahl 112 or 10:30 111. Allah says the second is if the 10:33 society itself doesn't like Islam 10:35 anymore, people wearing hijabs are 10:37 called "pretentiously pious." Yes, if 10:41 we talk about Islam, they act like 10:42 they're holy. I said, "Why act like a 10:44 disbeliever?" So the public is no 10:46 longer interested. Oh, forget it, no 10:47 need to buy leaders who claim to be 10:49 Islamic but are corrupt. It's better to 10:51 have a non-Muslim leader who is 10:53 anti-corruption. That is what the 10:55 public is saying. So they become 10:58 figures, our youth are messing around 11:00 on Instagram. Well, there are two 11:03 factors; first, the leader leads them 11:05 to the pit of destruction. Second, the 11:08 public is in sync, indeed they no 11:10 longer want leaders who bring up Islam. 11:12 Ah, this is the fanatic one. Adi Asar 11:14 is a fanatic. What am I fanatic about? 11:15 I play in a band. Playing in a band is 11:17 forbidden. Says who? The cleric said 11:19 I'm allowed. What if it's wrong in the 11:20 afterlife? They should ask him first, 11:22 not me. Right? Don't ask me, that's how 11:24 it is. So this has become chaotic. So 11:29 if these two things meet, according to 11:31 Allah, if I may quote Surah Al-Imran 11:34 103. On the edge of a pit of fire. You 11:37 are already on the edge of a pit of 11:39 destruction. You are already on the 11:43 edge of a pit of destruction. But We 11:46 saved you. Why did Allah save them? 11:48 Because there are still groups of 11:50 people doing it, as long as there is a 11:53 movement for change. Not a political 11:55 party. What is this movement for change 11:57 ? Dawah. This is what Bang Debi has 12:00 done continuously, starting from the 12:02 80s until now, gradually and always 12:04 ongoing. Now, as long as this movement 12:07 exists, Allah still blesses it. 12:09 Otherwise, we would have been destroyed 12:10 and punished. Salafi study groups that 12:13 are truly proper study groups, what you 12:17 call...many study groups, from Tarbiyah 12:21 . Please, feel free. As long as they 12:23 are right, Bang, in their profession of 12:25 faith. As long as they follow the 12:27 Prophet's hadith, go ahead. Minor 12:29 issues are not important, in my opinion 12:30 , now, right? The issue of whether or 12:32 not to do Qunut is not a problem. The 12:34 important thing is the fundamental 12:35 issue now. So if these two things 12:36 happen, we are on the edge of 12:38 destruction, but We are saved by Allah 12:41 as long as we want to worship in 12:43 Allah's way, and uphold Allah's 12:44 religion. If you help Allah, He will 12:47 help you. Help Allah's religion. Surely 12:49 Allah will strengthen our faith as long 12:50 as that is the case. So, Allah saves us 12:53 now. It becomes mandatory for us, like 12:55 me. I have studied under Bang Debi. Now 12:57 I have obtained half of the knowledge. 12:59 I teach everywhere. 13:01 I teach everywhere. I fill in 13:03 everywhere, right? Why, only with three 13:06 basic books, people are already like 13:08 this, let alone me. Yeah, that's right, 13:11 Bang. So that means as long as we 13:13 invite others to goodness, right? It 13:17 becomes mandatory when the era has 13:19 dawah; it becomes mandatory. It's 13:23 mandatory for you all, and for the 13:25 sisters as well, to preach. We cannot 13:28 remain silent. The most effective 13:30 movement is the dawah movement. What if 13:32 you don't want to do dawah? Just come 13:33 to study, go home, keep it to yourself, 13:35 and don't share it. You are unjust. 13:37 Says who? Allah says so. The example is 13:39 Prophet Yunus. Prophet Jonah said, "I 13:41 am innocent of you.""I wash my hands of 13:44 you." That's how it is, brother. Then 13:45 he took his people onto a ship. Oh, 13:48 they were tossed about by Allah. He 13:49 even drew lots. He was swallowed by a 13:54 whale. What was his prayer? La ilaha 13:56 illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu 13:58 minaz-zalimin. O Allah, there is no god 14:00 but You, glory be to You, and I am 14:01 indeed among the wrongdoers. So, people 14:03 who don't want to preach are wrongdoers 14:05 . If you only study here, eat, and go 14:08 home, you are a wrongdoer. It really is 14:10 like that. Go home and preach in your 14:12 own way. Everyone here must become a 14:14 teacher. Just look at brother Rebi. My 14:16 study is the worst, but I can give a 14:18 lecture, let alone when Ustaz Lein 14:21 speaks, right? Why, even mosquitoes 14:24 wouldn't dare bite him. How about 14:26 brother Toto, for example? So, you all 14:29 should be like that too. The knowledge 14:31 here is extraordinary. Brother Ayub, 14:32 for example, I meet him almost every 14:35 day and he gives us input. We rarely 14:38 see brother Agus. That’s brother Agus 14:41 for you. He manages many followers, 14:43 right? He has four families, so that's 14:46 a lot. "Don't meet brother Agus, 14:49 brother Agus," he says. So, that's 14:51 roughly how it is. That is why this 14:53 mission of preaching becomes mandatory. 14:55 I remember brother Debi's words very 14:56 well, right? "Al-qasdu qasdun thabit," 14:58 right, brother? Doing a little bit of 14:59 worship, but consistently. Wherever we 15:01 are, we must still preach. When I was a 15:04 minister, I made Friday study sessions 15:06 mandatory for 5 years. Who were the 15:09 speakers who filled in? Oh, Yusuf 15:10 Mansur, all sorts of people, every 15:12 Yusuf was there, right? Every ustaz 15:15 filled in, it was like that. Now we are 15:17 doing it for Scouts too. So, wherever 15:20 we are, use it for preaching; we will 15:21 be safe because that is Allah's verse, 15:23 "If you help Allah, He will help you 15:25 and make your foothold firm." Allah 15:28 will strengthen our faith, He will 15:30 strengthen our stance, don't be afraid 15:32 of positions like governor. Brother, 15:34 what about the data, what if, ah, never 15:35 mind, it's exhausting. If Allah 15:37 destines it to happen, it will; the 15:39 most important thing is we pray, as 15:40 there is the "Awal bala," right, 15:41 brother, "Jaljilani samawati wal ard." 15:44 I gained a lot from brother Debi. 15:46 Alhamdulillah, brother Debi, God 15:48 willing, has contributed a lot to me 15:49 and my family, and our families. Yes, 15:51 Krishna is right, we started teaching 15:53 in Pegangsaan, Setia Budi, Simpruk, 15:55 kept moving around until now I haven't 15:57 arrived at 15:59 at Al-Ikhlas. God willing, it will be 16:01 so. Where was it I visited yesterday, 16:03 brother? 16:05 Parung. Well, that's all for now, the 16:08 sisters as well. Hopefully, the sisters 16:11 here will all become mentors, right? To 16:14 the congregations, everyone. So, let's 16:16 just make one. Let's make, as Bang Rebi 16:19 says, a group or sect, right? A "Firqah 16:21 Najiyah," right, Bang? The saved sect. 16:24 Let's just make ourselves a saved sect. 16:26 So, if you want to join, feel free, as 16:29 long as your declaration of faith is 16:31 correct and you follow the Prophet and 16:33 his companions. That’s fine, we’ll 16:36 follow. Now, this is about the fitnahs, 16:37 the tribulations currently plaguing the 16:39 Islamic world. There’s the caliphate, 16:40 there’s the imamate, right? Now, I 16:42 also tolerate friends who are currently 16:44 struggling, like Hizbut Tahrir, for 16:46 example. Many of our friends have 16:48 joined Hizbut Tahrir. Many also study 16:49 with Bang Devi. Go right ahead. Now, 16:52 this is just the opening. The opening 16:53 is quite fiery. He’s going to shake 16:55 things up later, right, Bang Debi? 16:57 That’s all from me, I won’t take 16:58 too long, okay? If I take too long, 17:00 it’s useless anyway, right? You 17:01 already know my usual rates, right? 17:04 I’m not kidding—just kidding, right 17:06 ? Alhamdulillah, Bang Debi is amazing 17:08 for giving us a long life; let's pray. 17:10 I remember, where are Agus’s children 17:12 , Hanifah? Hanifah didn't come? 17:14 Oh, Hanifah is here. Where is Hanif? 17:16 Hanif? 17:17 Hanif didn't come. Hanif, I mean Hanif 17:19 didn't come, right? 17:21 Well, Hanif said yesterday, "Abah"— 17:22 you call me Abah, right? I also call my 17:24 parents "Abah." While Abah is still 17:25 healthy. We must have our children 17:27 study religion. And not just us. 17:28 Let’s have our children study too, 17:30 you know. Like Bang Agus, have his 17:32 children study. So when we have a 17:33 gathering, we bring our children along 17:35 to study, that’s the right way. So 17:37 they can be our successors. We are 17:39 eventually going to go, we’re old 17:40 like this, right? How old are we now, 17:42 anyway? Even at 60, if God wills it, 17:44 we’re still here, right? Life is only 17:47 once, one wife, truly, oh my, right? 17:50 God willing, that is all; please 17:51 forgive me for any shortcomings. Where 17:54 is Mira? Call Mira and tell her to come 17:56 down first. She’s listening, right? 17:57 Tell her to come. She’s definitely 18:00 listening upstairs. "What is my husband 18:02 talking about?" She’s listening from 18:04 upstairs. It’s fine, she’s used to 18:05 it anyway, right? Alhamdulillah, after 18:08 dozens of years, just one wife, right? 18:11 Alhamdulillah. Let’s leave it at that 18:14 . Let’s watch together. I thank you, 18:16 jazakumullah khairan jaza, for your 18:18 presence at our home. After this, we 18:21 will...what? Have lunch together over 18:23 there later. The ladies can go to the 18:26 other house. The men can stay here; 18:29 let's just make do, right? For the 18:32 older gentlemen, don’t eat too much 18:33 roast goat, I’m afraid I’ll get 18:34 blamed later. If you go home and get 18:37 sick, we’re the ones who get blamed, 18:38 right, because of the food? Bang, it 18:40 would be troublesome for us, wouldn't 18:42 it, Agus? Be careful, right, Bang Agus, 18:44 right? Right, we just eat what we can, 18:47 you know, some of Allah's blessings are 18:50 starting to be taken away a little, 18:51 right? Earlier when I met him, he 18:54 immediately complained, "I lost 4 kilos 18:57 ," he said. "Good," I said, "Why?""Well 18:59 , I wasn't sacrificed," right? "Imagine 19:01 if you were fat, like yesterday," right 19:04 , "isn't it good to be healthy, Uncle 19:06 Win," right? "Lost 4 kilos, bang," 19:09 right, "people didn't end up buying," 19:10 right? Lailahaillallah. Hopefully, 19:14 Allah gives us blessings and grants a 19:17 long life to our ustadz, Ustadz Bang 19:19 Debi Nasution, God willing. I also hope 19:22 that all of us present here can be 19:24 siblings in this world and in the 19:25 hereafter. God willing, hopefully among 19:28 our descendants, the children of the 19:30 mothers here, will become pious leaders 19:32 at all levels in our country. May Allah 19:35 answer our prayers. The strongest of 19:38 people, as Bang Rebi once advised Mr. 19:41 Bismoyo, is the person with strong 19:43 faith. The weakest of people is the 19:45 person with weak faith. If I'm not 19:46 mistaken, Bang. Mr. Wismoyo used it 19:49 everywhere, that a strong faith means 19:51 strong prayers. I think we should use 19:53 our prayers, God willing, hopefully 19:55 with our prayers that Allah accepts, 19:57 our wives 'hearts will also soften. 19:59 Thank you. Peace be upon you, and 20:01 Allah's mercy and blessings. 20:02 And peace be upon you. 20:06 Yes. Praise be to God. Thank you to Mr. 20:09 Diasa Daud or Kang Yuyu who has given 20:12 our opening remarks. Thank you also for 20:16 giving encouragement to all of us. 20:19 Hopefully, we will later have a leader 20:21 like him, right? 20:22 Amen. 20:23 Understanding religion, being 20:25 knowledgeable, so the government will 20:27 be good later. Alright, now let us 20:30 follow our study session. The weekly 20:33 Saturday study will be delivered by 20:36 Ustadz Debi Nasution with the theme of 20:38 tribulations coming to the Islamic 20:40 world. To Bang Debi Nasution, the floor 20:44 is yours. 20:51 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious 20:51 , the Most Merciful. Peace be upon you, 20:52 and Allah's mercy and blessings. 20:53 And peace be upon you. 20:56 Praise be to Allah alone, and peace and 20:58 blessings be upon the one after whom 21:00 there is no prophet. I bear witness 21:02 that there is no god but Allah alone, 21:03 with no partner, and I bear witness 21:04 that Muhammad is His servant and 21:05 messenger. Uh. Brothers of faith, may 21:12 Allah have mercy on you. And also to 21:16 the listeners of Radio Rasil and the 21:18 viewers of TV Rasil whom I respect. Is 21:21 that so. Actually, I was scheduled on 21:25 Rasil back when it first started, you 21:27 know. That was once a week. Then as it 21:33 developed, once every 2 weeks. Finally, 21:39 once a month, you know. Because Rasil 21:43 is truly developing remarkably. 21:44 Hopefully, this will become one of the 21:46 Islamic radios that helps. Contribute 21:51 to the establishment of Islam in 21:54 Indonesia. Yes. Today we will try to 22:00 study a part of religious knowledge, 22:04 which is about the tribulations that 22:07 are coming. Actually, when we talk 22:12 about tribulations, it cannot be 22:15 separated from the historical journey 22:18 of our religion, the historical journey 22:21 of Islam. And that historical journey 22:25 of Islam has already been conveyed to 22:27 us by the Prophet through authentic 22:29 hadiths. Yes, Changes upon changes 22:34 until the Day of Judgment, the end of 22:37 the Muslim community, the Prophet has 22:39 already conveyed how the historical 22:42 journey unfolds. So, the part that we 22:49 are studying now is the part that 22:55 relates to the process of our 22:56 historical journey. For example, as Adi 23:02 Aqsa mentioned, a hadith that is 23:05 already in our paper, on page 24, or 23:09 almost the last page, so to speak. " 23:16 Sayati alan-nas sanawatun khadda'at." 23:20 Yes, as mentioned by Brother Adi Aksa, 23:22 years of deception will come upon the 23:25 people, where it is difficult to trust 23:31 or believe people during those years. " 23:36 Yusaddaqu fiha al-kadzib." The liars 23:39 will actually be believed during those 23:42 years. "Wa yukadzabu fiha al-sadiq." 23:45 The truthful people will actually be 23:48 disbelieved during such years. Traitors 23:56 will be given positions of trust. Even 24:00 though it is clear they have betrayed 24:03 multiple times, including betraying 24:06 their office. But they are still 24:09 trusted in years like that. Amen. 24:13 Meanwhile, those who are trustworthy 24:15 are considered traitors and are cast 24:16 aside. Then, "wa yanthiqu fiha 24:20 al-ruwaibidah." In those years, the 24:24 Ruwaibidah will emerge. Then it was 24:28 asked to our Prophet Muhammad, peace be 24:30 upon him, "What is the Ruwaibidah?" 24:32 What is the Ruwaibidah, O Messenger of 24:33 Allah? The Prophet answered, "Ar-rajulu 24:36 at-tafih." A person of very limited 24:39 intellect. "Yatukallamu fi amril-' 24:43 ammah." But he speaks on universal or 24:46 public matters. Some scholars say he is 24:50 someone of weak intellect, yet he 24:52 speaks on religious matters. Even 24:56 though he has not a shred of religious 24:57 knowledge. Yes, spiritual figures 25:01 emerge, for instance, what was alluded 25:03 to by Brother Aqsa. Spiritual figures 25:06 who are trusted, and we already know 25:10 who is being referred to. So, that 25:15 became the closing hadith in our paper. 25:19 Actually, this paper is just a brief 25:21 summary; it does not contain all the 25:23 tribulations that have afflicted the 25:26 Islamic world. And the references I 25:30 used, first of all, are from the book 25:37 Fath al-Bari, the commentary of Bukhari 25:39 . This, regarding tribulations, is in 25:43 volume 13, about tribulations. Then, 25:46 several explanations from the book 25:49 Silsilat al-Ahadith as-Sahihah, yes, a 25:56 collection of authentic hadiths, volume 25:59 one, written by Sheikh Al-Albani. Now, 26:03 before we try to look at this brief 26:06 paper, I would like to remind you 26:08 briefly that what we are doing today— 26:11 attending an instruction, studying 26:13 guidance, studying religious knowledge 26:16 —is an incomparable deed. Our Prophet 26:21 said in an authentic hadith that I have 26:24 often repeated, our Prophet said, "Man 26:28 salaka tariqan." Whoever leaves their 26:33 house and travels a path seeking 26:36 knowledge, the purpose of their travel 26:39 is to seek religious knowledge. Well, 26:46 the Prophet said, "Sahalallahu thariqan 26:49 ilal jannah." Then Allah will surely 26:52 make that person's path to paradise 26:54 easy. So, just by leaving the house 26:58 with the intention of seeking religious 27:00 knowledge, Allah has already rewarded 27:03 that person with ease toward paradise. 27:07 Then, in the second hadith, which I 27:09 also often repeat, our Prophet says: " 27:11 At-thalibul 'ilmi," the one who studies 27:14 religious knowledge. "At-thalib," yes, 27:17 the person, one who studies religious 27:19 knowledge. "At-thalibul' ilmi 27:22 yastaghfiru lahu man fis-samawati wa 27:26 man fil-ard," then all creatures in the 27:31 heavens— "samawat" is the plural form 27:35 of "sama," so it means all creatures in 27:38 the heavens. There are seven heavens, 27:41 right. All creatures in the seven 27:45 heavens, namely the angels, and also on 27:49 earth, "yastaghfiru lahu" will ask for 27:54 forgiveness for him, for the person who 27:56 studies religious knowledge. Yes, the 27:59 Prophet said: "Hatta al-hitan," even 28:02 the fish "fil-bahr" in the ocean, whose 28:06 numbers only Allah knows, the fish in 28:09 all the oceans pray for forgiveness and 28:12 ask for it for the person who learns 28:15 religious knowledge. And there are 28:19 still many more 28:21 other hadiths which state that studying 28:25 religious knowledge is an act of 28:27 worship that has no equal. I happen to 28:31 have brought the book "Targhib 28:33 wat-Tarhib" here by Imam Al-Mundhiri in 28:36 the chapter on knowledge. I will just 28:39 quote this. There is a hadith from Abu 28:43 Hurairah. Which he quoted from our 28:47 Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him 28:49 and grant him peace. He said, "Ma ' 28:52 ubidallahu bishai'in afdala min fiqhin 28:55 fid-din." Yes, there is no one who 28:59 worships Allah with anything more 29:02 excellent than someone who worships 29:05 Allah with knowledge. Nothing can beat 29:07 that. If a person worships Allah with 29:09 knowledge, nothing can surpass him. Yes 29:12 , like that. Then, "Wa la faqihun 29:17 wahidun ashaddu' ala ash-shaitan min 29:19 alfi 'abidin," and one person who 29:21 understands religious knowledge is 29:23 harder for the devil to tempt than a 29:26 thousand worshippers. "Wa li kulli 29:31 shai'in' imad." And for every single 29:34 thing, there is a pillar. "Wa 'imadu 29:37 hadad-din." And the pillar of this 29:39 religion is "fiqh," religious knowledge 29:41 . "Fiqh," good understanding, is the 29:44 pillar of this religion. And what is 29:49 interesting is this statement from Abu 29:52 Hurairah; after he conveyed this, he 29:55 said, "La'an ajlisa sa'atan afqahuha 29:58 ahabbu ilayya min an uhyiya 30:00 lailatal-qadr." If I were to sit for a 30:05 moment, "sa'atan," in current terms " 30:07 sa'atan" is an hour, which I use to 30:09 study religious knowledge, I would 30:12 prefer that more than spending the 30:14 night awake seeking Laylat al-Qadr. 30:18 Laylat al-Qadr has a special quality, 30:21 you know, being better than a thousand 30:23 months. It means that a person who 30:25 performs good deeds on Laylat al-Qadr 30:29 the worship performed on Laylat al-Qadr 30:31 is more valuable than worshiping for a 30:33 thousand months. Well, Abu Hurairah 30:38 said, "An hour I spend studying 30:40 religious knowledge is more beloved to 30:42 me than staying up all night seeking 30:44 the Night of Decree." Meaning, the hour 30:49 Abu Hurairah spent studying religious 30:51 knowledge holds much greater value than 30:54 the Night of Decree. That is Abu 30:57 Hurairah's understanding in the book 31:00 Targhib wa Tarhib, volume 1, page 73. 31:06 And there are many more hadiths stating 31:09 that studying religious knowledge is an 31:11 unparalleled form of worship. Yes, Umar 31:16 bin, uh, Umar bin Abdul Aziz, a caliph 31:20 from the Umayyad dynasty, in the Kitab 31:24 al-Ilm section of Sahih Bukhari, once 31:27 said: "Man ta'abbada bighairi' ilmin, 31:32 because what he ruins is more than what 31:36 he fixes." Whoever worships Allah 31:40 without knowledge, the damage caused is 31:42 far greater than the benefits gained. 31:47 That is the importance of religious 31:48 knowledge. Yes, yes. Alhamdulillah, we, 31:53 uh, if Adi Aksa mentioned earlier, our 31:58 Islamic studies have been going on 32:00 since the time in Pegangsaan, back in 32:03 1983, near the end, right? Yes. Uh, Adi 32:10 Aqsa was once the chairman. Then, Akhi 32:13 Agus was also once the chairman of our 32:16 study group. Then, oh right, before 32:21 that, Burhan was once the chairman of 32:24 our study group. Now, it’s without a 32:30 chairman, and it has turned into a " 32:32 as-you-please" study group, where you 32:34 can join if you want, or skip it if you 32:36 prefer. Uh-huh. Yes, since '83 we have 32:41 been conducting Islamic studies until 32:44 now, in the year 2016. the year 32:51 it has been quite a long time, namely 32:54 30 32:56 33 years, yes, quite a long time, and 32:59 God willing, we hope it doesn't, 33:00 doesn't turn into something else, 33:06 remaining a study group. Alright, uh, 33:11 we will study the trials that are to 33:13 come. There are several themes there: 33:17 trials, trials that strike Islam, the 33:19 caliphate, the danger of misleading 33:21 leaders, the disappearance of the 33:23 caliphate, the loss of religious 33:24 knowledge, abandoning the Quran, and 33:26 total destruction. Those are the themes 33:30 that I have chosen. Now, scholars say 33:35 that the word "fitnah" in terms of 33:38 language comes from the root word " 33:41 fatana." Fa ta nun. Fatan. Which means 33:50 "adalla"-to mislead, like that. So, 33:56 this "fitnah," according to its 34:00 original definition. Yes. If we say " 34:04 futina 'an dinihi," he was tested in 34:07 his religion, meaning he turned away 34:10 from his religion. So, fitnah is 34:15 something that can turn, mislead, or 34:18 distance a person from the teachings of 34:22 religion. That is the original meaning 34:28 of fitnah. Something that can turn, 34:34 mislead, or distance a person from 34:38 religion. like that. Then the scholars 34:45 also say that fitnah can mean "dalal," 34:48 which is misguidance. It can mean 34:51 disbelief, al-kufru, and it can also 34:54 mean corruption or damage. There are 34:57 three meanings according to the 34:59 scholars. Now, then also, uh, scholars 35:07 say that fitnah, in the sense of 35:10 something that makes people distance 35:12 themselves or turn away from religion, 35:16 can stem from bad things, or bad 35:18 situations like poverty and being 35:21 destitute, yes, and it can also come 35:27 from positive things, or favorable 35:30 situations. Just as Allah says in Surah 35:37 Al-Anbiya, the 21st surah, verse 35. 35:42 Let’s see, does anyone have a 35:43 translation with them? Surah 21 verse 35:46 35. How does it read? 35:48 Yes, there are the words "wablukum". " 35:52 We will test you," with evil, with bad 35:56 situations, and also with good. So 36:01 basically, both evil and good are tests 36:05 , "fitnatun," as a trial. Like that. I 36:10 want, uh, to invite us all to look back 36:16 , look back at Surah An-Naml verse 40. 36:22 Let’s look at it. Surah An-Naml, the 36:25 surah number is 27. Let’s look at it 36:29 again, we have discussed this many 36:30 times. Verse 40, concerning the fact 36:36 that goodness or grace is also a trial, 36:40 through a righteous servant. That 36:44 statement was made by a righteous 36:46 servant, who was one of Solomon's 36:48 subjects. This is an offer proposed by 36:53 a righteous man to Prophet Solomon. 36:56 When Prophet Solomon offered a 36:59 righteous deed to his high officials in 37:02 verse 38, right, where Prophet Solomon 37:07 said to his officials, "Who is capable 37:10 of bringing Bilqis's throne from Yemen? 37:13 " Yes, Bilqis was the Queen of Sheba. 37:18 The Kingdom of Sheba was in Yemen, and 37:21 her throne, her "arsh", her grand seat. 37:26 Then Prophet Solomon offered his 37:29 officials to see who could bring 37:31 Bilqis's throne to Palestine, Solomon's 37:35 kingdom in Palestine, before they 37:37 arrived in Palestine. In verse 39, an 37:42 Ifrit offered himself, yes, in verse 39 37:44 , the Ifrit offered himself, "Qala 37:47 ifritun minal-jinni ana atika bihi 37:49 qabla an taquma mim maqamika." Yes, the 37:55 Ifrit said, the clever one among the 37:58 jinns, "I can bring that throne before 38:02 you, O King, before you stand up from 38:05 your seat." In the Tafsir Durul Mansur, 38:10 "before you stand up" means before you 38:13 stand up for the Dhuhr prayer. So, 38:16 Solomon used to serve his people. After 38:19 the Fajr prayer, he would sit on his 38:22 throne. Then at the Dhuhr prayer, he 38:24 would leave his throne to pray, which 38:27 is a duration of approximately 6 hours. 38:31 The Ifrit offered himself, "I am 38:32 capable of bringing that throne before 38:34 you pray Dhuhr." Yes. Then the Ifrit 38:37 said, "Wa inni' alaihi laqawiyyun amin. 38:40 " I am a strong and trustworthy 38:43 creature. If we study the 38:47 characteristics of jinns in the Quran, 38:50 we believe that the Ifrit is capable of 38:52 bringing Bilqis's throne from Sheba to 38:55 Palestine in a short time. That is how 38:57 it is. Because genies have 38:59 extraordinary physical abilities. They 39:02 can fly across the horizon and can 39:08 occupy places close to the worldly 39:10 heaven. That is mentioned in Surah 39:12 Al-Jinn. Now, regarding verse 40, which 39:15 was read by Ibin earlier. "Qala ladhi ' 39:18 indahu' ilmun min al-kitab." Someone 39:20 who had comprehensive knowledge of the 39:23 Book spoke up. If I recall correctly, 39:27 if I am not mistaken, Sayyid Qutb or 39:29 other exegetes say this was an ordinary 39:31 human, meaning not a prophet, just a 39:33 regular person. But he was 39:37 extraordinary because Allah states he 39:40 had comprehensive knowledge of the Book 39:44 . Yes, the Book being referred to 39:46 during the time of Solomon was the 39:47 Torah. He said, "Ana atika bihi qabla 39:52 ayyarta.""I can bring Bilqis's throne 39:57 before your eyes blink." The question 40:01 is, what power was wagered here? Even 40:04 though he was just an ordinary human. 40:05 Humans are limited, right? So the 40:11 scholars say that what he offered 40:13 Solomon was his spiritual power, the 40:15 result of comprehensive knowledge of 40:17 the holy book. Thus, he possessed 40:19 extraordinary spiritual power that was 40:21 far greater than the power of the 40:22 genies. I need to make a slight 40:26 correction, because in the book I read, 40:29 "Tazkirat al-Du'at," it wasn't Solomon 40:33 who spoke, but that man; when he saw 40:37 Bilqis's throne placed before him, he 40:40 said, "Hadha min fadli Rabbi." He did 40:44 not say this was his own power, no. But 40:46 that this was a grace from Allah. That 40:49 is spiritual maturity. He said this was 40:53 a grace from Allah, an extraordinary 40:55 grace. Then he said, "Liyabluwani," 40:58 this is a test for me. So he viewed a 41:03 great gift as a test, not as a luxury; 41:06 no, but as a test. "A-ashkuru," will I 41:10 be grateful? "Am akfuru," or will I be 41:12 ungrateful? Yes, as an ordinary human, 41:16 even though he had reached the level of 41:19 a scholar. He remained aware that the 41:24 wall separating him from disbelief is 41:27 thin. Prophet Solomon would never say 41:31 something like this. Impossible. And 41:34 Prophet Solomon had virtues far beyond 41:36 just bringing Bilqis's throne, which he 41:39 certainly could have done himself, but 41:41 he offered it to his subjects. Then, " 41:47 Wa man shakara fa-innama yashkuru 41:50 linafsihi," this rhetoric, these words 41:54 were spoken in front of Solomon and 41:57 Solomon's officials. So that da'wah is 42:01 rhetoric. Not lecturing others. Whoever 42:07 is grateful, he is grateful for himself 42:09 , and whoever is ungrateful, "wa man 42:12 kafara fa-inna Rabbi Ghaniyyun Karim," 42:15 my Lord is Self-Sufficient and Generous 42:18 , not in need of His creations at all. 42:24 So, what I want to emphasize here is 42:27 that the Qur'an teaches us to view a 42:30 great gift not as a luxury, but as a 42:33 test. That is the right attitude. 42:37 Because if we view a blessing more as a 42:41 gift, there is a fear that we might 42:45 become lost in that pleasure and 42:49 neglect the One who gave the blessing. 42:56 Yeah. Then also, the trials that stem 43:01 from something positive are also 43:03 mentioned by Allah in Surah Al-Anfal. 43:07 Surah 8, verse 28. How does it go? Yes. 43:13 Wa'lamu annama amwalukum wa awladukum 43:15 fitnah. That’s it, right? Indeed, 43:17 your wealth and your children are a 43:19 trial. In the sense that "fitnah" means 43:23 a trial, a test, right? Then, third, " 43:28 fitnah" can also mean punishment. That 43:33 is mentioned by Allah in Surah 43:36 Adh-Dhariyat. What is the number of 43:39 Surah Adh-Dhariyat? 43:40 51. 43:41 51, right. Yeah. Verses 13 and 14. How 43:47 does that go? 43:52 The Day of Judgment is the day when 43:55 they are punished in the Hellfire. 43:58 What is the text, brother? The text is 44:03 yawma hum 'alan-nari yuftanun. Yes, " 44:06 yuftanun," being tested/tried; it means 44:08 being punished on the day they are 44:10 tried. "Fitnah" means to be punished. 44:13 So "fitnah" also means torment. Yes, 44:17 likewise, the exegetes say that "fitnah 44:21 " as punishment is in Surah At-Tawbah, 44:27 verse 49 of Surah 9. And among them are 44:32 those who say, "Give me permission and 44:34 do not put me into fitnah." 44:37 Yes. 44:37 And do not, O Muhammad, cause me to 44:40 fall into trial. 44:41 Yes. Then 44:44 know that they have already fallen into 44:45 fitnah. 44:46 Yes. That they have fallen into fitnah, 44:48 according to the scholars, means they 44:49 have fallen into punishment. Because 44:51 there are the words, "wa inna jahannama 44:54 lamuhitatun bil-kafirin." The 44:56 subsequent sentence. Indeed, the 44:58 Hellfire will surely encompass the 45:01 disbelievers, like that. Those are, 45:04 among others, the meanings of "fitnah." 45:06 Uh now, what we will study is the " 45:13 fitnah" that accompanies the course of 45:15 Islamic history, which is "fitnah" in 45:18 the sense of corruption. Alright, let's 45:25 start from the first Hadith. The " 45:30 fitnah" that afflicts the Islamic world 45:31 . The words of the Prophet Muhammad SAW 45:37 : "Innahu lam yakun nabiyun qabli."" 45:40 Innahu," indeed, "lam yakun nabiyun 45:44 qabli." There has never been a prophet 45:47 before me. Let's just look at the 45:51 translation: "Illa," except, "kana," 45:56 there was, "haqqan," a duty, "alayhi," 46:00 upon him, "an yadulla ummatahu," to 46:03 guide his nation, "alal khair," to the 46:07 good, "ma ya'lamuhu lahum," whatever he 46:14 knows is good for them. Meaning, every 46:19 prophet, including me, has a duty to 46:24 guide their nation to what is good and 46:27 teach everything beneficial to their 46:29 nation. Nothing may be hidden. "Wa 46:35 yundhira," and warn, "hum," them, "shar 46:41 ," from evil, "ma ya'lamuhu," whatever 46:44 he knows is evil. Whatever he knows to 46:48 be evil, he conveys it to them. Meaning 46:53 every prophet before me was obligated 46:56 to show what is good and also show what 46:59 is evil and teach it to their nation. 47:03 Nothing may be concealed. Likewise, our 47:07 Prophet, there is nothing he concealed. 47:10 There is no secret knowledge that the 47:12 Prophet reserved for certain people, is 47:14 there? None at all. Right. Now, then, " 47:21 wa inna umatakum." Indeed, your nation, 47:24 the Muslim nation, this one here, " 47:28 ju'ilat" has been made. "Ju'ilat" has 47:32 been made, its "afiyah," its perfection 47:38 . The meaning of perfection is in the 47:42 footnote there: safeguarded from 47:46 anything that endangers the religion. " 47:48 Afiyah" means health, "fi awaliha" in 47:53 its early generations. So, the healthy, 47:56 perfect Muslim nation only existed in 47:58 the early generations. Later, we will 48:01 see what is meant by early generations. 48:03 Which generation? "Wasayusibu akhir," 48:09 it will affect the latter ones; yes, " 48:13 wasayusibu" means it will afflict the 48:17 end, "balaun," trials. That eventually, 48:24 they will be afflicted by trials and 48:28 matters that they abhor. The latter 48:33 ones will face trials and matters that 48:35 provoke hatred. Yes. "Watajiu fitnah." 48:40 Now, here it is. Then tribulations will 48:43 come. "Faruqqiqu," so it lightens. 48:50 Linguistically, "riqqah" means thin, to 48:53 make thin. Yes, "ba'duhu," some of it, 48:56 the tribulation. "Ba'don" against some. 49:01 It means the first tribulation that 49:03 comes, feels mild compared to the 49:08 second one, which is greater. The first 49:11 tribulation comes, then the second one 49:12 comes. Now, this second tribulation 49:15 makes the first one feel light, and so 49:18 on. "Watajiul fitnah." And the next 49:23 tribulation will come, more will come. 49:28 Then the believer will say, "This is 49:31 the place of my destruction." 49:34 Pessimistic, seeing that the 49:36 tribulation is so dominant. So he says, 49:40 "This is already the place of my 49:42 destruction." That is how severe the 49:44 tribulation is. "Tumma tangkashifu," 49:48 then that tribulation disappears. But " 49:53 watajiul fitnah," another tribulation 49:55 comes, replacing the one that made the 49:58 believer pessimistic. "Fayaqulul mukmin 50:02 ." So the believer says, "This, this, 50:05 here it is, that is it." Like that. 50:09 That is how immensely the tribulation 50:11 strikes the Islamic world. "Faman," so 50:17 whoever, "ahabba," wishes, "ayuzaha," 50:24 to be saved or kept away from hell, " 50:30 al-jannah," and admitted into paradise. 50:33 In a situation of such tribulation, 50:35 whoever wants to be saved, from hell 50:41 and enter paradise, "faltatihi 50:43 maniyatuhu." Then he should meet his 50:47 death. "Wahua," while he, "yu'min," 50:53 remains faithful to Allah and the Last 50:56 Day. "Walyati," he should do "ilanas" 51:03 to people (others), meaning that which, 51:08 "yuhibbu," an act that he loves, "ayuta 51:15 ," if that act were done to him. 51:20 Maintaining social relationships with 51:23 others; do not do things to others that 51:26 you yourself would not like to have 51:29 done to you. "Waman baya'a imaman." And 51:36 whoever pledges allegiance to an Imam, 51:38 this is a Caliph. The meaning of Imam 51:40 here is a Caliph. We will see later. " 51:44 Fau." Then he should give that Imam the 51:49 fruit of his hand. A handshake. The 51:53 meaning of the pledge is, well, the 51:55 Sunnah is with a handshake, expressing 51:57 a vow. Loyalty. "Wasamrata qalbihi," 52:02 and the fruit of his heart. We will see 52:04 the explanation later. And let him obey 52:09 the Imam as much as he is able to, yes. 52:16 Then if another comes. So if someone 52:19 else comes who opposes the Imam, 52:25 opposes meaning they want to to 52:30 overthrow, wants to commit treason, 52:35 then strike the neck of that other 52:39 person, yes. This is a loose 52:44 translation. Let's look at the 52:46 commentary on page 3. This is a sahih 52:53 hadith, yes. That is what the sahih 52:55 hadith says. It is in the book 52:58 Silsilatul Ahadith as-Sahihah volume 1 53:00 part 2 number 241. I have the book here 53:03 with me, you see. If you don't believe 53:05 it, please look here yes. Explanation 53:11 of foreign terms in this hadith: one, 53:16 ba'du ba'd, meaning one fitnah lightens 53:20 or diminishes another. It is the 53:24 following fitnah that makes the 53:26 previous one feel light, because the 53:28 later fitnah is greater than the former 53:31 . Later we will try to reveal the forms 53:35 of fitnah that first struck the Islamic 53:38 world. Yes. Two, Safqota Yadih, the 53:43 palm of his hand. It means his promise 53:48 and the firmness of his heart to obey 53:50 the Imam. And that is when pledging 53:54 allegiance to the Caliphate. The 53:56 Caliphate. Yes. The third, 54:01 tamamrataqolih. The fruit of his heart 54:04 is the sincerity of his promise or the 54:06 love of his heart given to the Imam. 54:09 when he pays allegiance to an Imam. The 54:12 fourth, fatribu unuqal akhor. Then 54:15 strike, strike the neck of the second 54:17 person. Meaning, as mentioned, if 54:19 someone else wants to overthrow the 54:23 Caliphate, then you strike the neck of 54:26 that second person, like that. Imam 54:32 Nawawi said, "It means, repel that 54:34 second person in a good way." Because 54:38 indeed he has come out to fight the 54:39 legitimate Imam. So if he cannot be 54:42 repelled except through war and killing 54:44 , then kill him. Meaning if the 54:48 fighters supporting the Imam invite to 54:51 kill him, it is permissible, and there 54:54 is no guarantee of protection for that 54:56 person because he committed an unjust 54:59 act that allows the death penalty to be 55:01 imposed on him. Perhaps this is what is 55:05 referred to now as, perhaps, subversive 55:09 activities. Yes, those subversive 55:12 movements, it is permissible to kill 55:14 people who engage in subversive 55:16 activities wanting to what, overthrow 55:21 or rebel against the legitimate Imam, 55:23 the Caliph. In this case, such is the 55:27 explanation of Sheikh Al-Albani in the 55:30 book Al-Ahadith as-Sahihah volume 1 55:31 part 2 page 88. Earlier it was 55:36 mentioned as Imam, yes, Caliphate or 55:39 Imamah. Caliphate or Imamah is the 55:43 leadership in the Islamic world, and 55:46 the leader is called a Caliph or Imam, 55:50 which comes from the word khalafa, 55:53 meaning to replace. So Caliph means 55:56 successor or representative because of 55:59 his position as a successor or 56:01 representative of the Prophet, may 56:03 Allah bless him and grant him peace, in 56:06 carrying out the law or Sharia among 56:08 the Muslim community. As stated in a 56:11 hadith where the Messenger, may Allah 56:13 bless him and grant him peace, said the 56:18 Children of Israel were led by prophets 56:23 . The Children of Israel, starting from 56:26 the time of Prophet Moses, peace be 56:28 upon him, until the last, in the time 56:30 of Jesus, peace be upon him, all 56:32 political leadership was by prophets. 56:37 Every time a prophet died. Whenever a 56:40 prophet died, another prophet from the 56:44 Children of Israel would replace him. 56:48 The history of the Children of Israel's 56:52 journey regarding leadership shows that 56:56 they were always led by a prophet. Wa 57:02 innahu la nabiya ba'di. But there is no 57:05 prophet after me. Our Prophet stated 57:07 that there is no prophet after him, 57:09 indicating that his successor is not a 57:10 prophet. But wasatakunul khulafa, there 57:14 will be khulafa. Khulafa is the plural 57:17 form of the word khalifah. Caliphs. 57:23 Hadith narrated by Muslim. Volume 6, 57:27 page 17. So, a caliph is the successor 57:31 to the Prophet in terms of upholding 57:33 the law. Not replacing the Prophet in 57:36 receiving revelation. No. A caliph is 57:38 an ordinary human being, you see. 57:42 Another term for a caliph is sultan, 57:45 which means ruler or holder of power. 57:50 As mentioned in a hadith, the Messenger 57:52 of Allah (peace be upon him) said, " 57:54 Fainnahu laisa liahadin minanas yakruju 57:56 minal sultan." Which means, indeed, it 58:00 is not permissible for any person— 58:02 meaning any Muslim—to rebel against 58:05 the sultan. Hadith narrated by Muslim. 58:09 What is meant by rebelling against the 58:12 sultan is to oppose him or fight him. 58:15 So, there are two terms in our religion 58:18 for a ruler. First, caliph. Second, 58:21 sultan. See Fathul Bari, volume 13, 58:28 page 7. In a hadith, the Messenger of 58:32 Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Man 58:34 ahahan sultan." Man ahana sultan Allah 58:38 fil ard. Whoever insults the sultan of 58:40 Allah on earth, ahanahullah, then Allah 58:46 will insult him. Yes, hadith narrated 58:49 by Tirmidzi, Fathul Kabir, hadith 58:52 number 5987. Yes. In another narration, 59:01 it is stated that the sultan, the ruler 59:03 , is the shadow of Allah on earth. The 59:09 shade of Allah on earth. Where the weak 59:14 seek protection. The weak. This is a 59:19 sign that a sultan has the obligation 59:23 and must have the capacity to protect 59:26 the weak. Yes. Only then is he called a 59:30 sultan. Wabihi, and through him, the 59:37 oppressed are helped. We see nowadays 59:42 that so many Muslims are oppressed; it 59:45 is clear what is happening in Palestine 59:47 , for example, what is happening in 59:50 Syria, in Iraq, where Muslims are being 59:53 completely crushed there. Not to 59:55 mention those in Rohingya, and in India 59:58 as well. But there is not a single 1:00:02 power or ruler capable of protecting 1:00:06 them. So, if someone claims to be a 1:00:10 sultan at this time, well, we need to 1:00:16 question that. Because this is very 1:00:20 clear. A sultan is a place of refuge 1:00:23 for the weak and a place to seek help 1:00:26 for the oppressed. Man akrama sultan, 1:00:30 man akrama sultan. Whoever honors the 1:00:34 sultan, akramahullah yaumalqiamah. Then 1:00:37 Allah will honor him on the Day of 1:00:38 Resurrection. Considering how great and 1:00:41 noble the responsibility of a ruler is. 1:00:46 Hadith narrated by Ibn Najjar. From Abu 1:00:50 Hurairah. See Kanzul Umal, hadith 1:00:52 number 1452. Yes. As for the linguistic 1:01:03 definition of a caliph, according to 1:01:06 Abu Bakr al-Razi, a caliph means a 1:01:08 great ruler. Yes, that is a caliph. or 1:01:15 what is also called imamul uzma, the 1:01:17 supreme leader, the highest imam. Here 1:01:22 we see its definition. Yes. The caliph 1:01:27 is called the greatest ruler because 1:01:29 the vastness of the power held 1:01:31 transcends geographical boundaries, in 1:01:33 accordance with the universal character 1:01:35 of the Islamic faith. Here we question 1:01:39 ISIS; they claim to be a caliphate, but 1:01:42 where is their territory? Because this 1:01:45 caliph means the greatest ruler whose 1:01:47 power extends beyond geographical 1:01:50 boundaries. That is how Islamic history 1:01:51 works. For example, when Abu Bakr 1:01:55 became caliph, it covered the entire 1:01:56 Arabian Peninsula. Yes, even the Levant 1:02:02 , which was controlled by the Eastern 1:02:05 Roman Empire, was already in the sights 1:02:08 of the Muslim community. That's how it 1:02:13 is. When Umar became caliph, Abu Bakr 1:02:17 passed away when the Muslim army at 1:02:20 Yarmouk was already facing the Eastern 1:02:23 Roman army, where Abu Bakr would later 1:02:26 die. But in that war, the entire Levant 1:02:30 region was successfully conquered by 1:02:33 the troops appointed and formed by Abu 1:02:36 Bakr. During the time of Umar, the 1:02:40 conquered territory reached Alexandria 1:02:42 and Africa. Yes, Alexandria was 1:02:45 conquered in the year 19 Hijri by Amr 1:02:47 ibn al-Aas. Yes. Then Persia was also 1:02:51 conquered in the year 15 Hijri if I am 1:02:54 not mistaken, by Saad ibn Abi Waqqas 1:02:57 during the time of Umar. That was the 1:03:00 extent of his dominion. Now, here we 1:03:02 question those who want a caliphate: 1:03:03 where is their territory? and to what 1:03:08 extent have their actions protected the 1:03:12 fate of the Muslims who are oppressed. 1:03:17 Yes, in history we see the eighth 1:03:19 Abbasid caliph, al-Mu'tasim Billah, the 1:03:22 younger brother of al-Ma'mun, the son 1:03:27 of Harun al-Rashid. Harun actually had 1:03:31 three sons who became caliphs. Al-Amin 1:03:34 was the first, then al-Ma'mun was the 1:03:37 second. Yes, al-Ma'mun became caliph by 1:03:43 killing al-Amin, you see. He became 1:03:45 caliph. Then the third, al-Mu'tasim 1:03:47 Billah, the younger brother of 1:03:49 al-Ma'mun. During the time of 1:03:52 al-Mu'tasim, the Roman Emperor decided 1:03:55 to stop paying taxes and committed acts 1:04:02 of oppression against Muslim merchants 1:04:05 trading in their city, called Ammoria. 1:04:11 During the time of al-Mu'tasim, the 1:04:13 Abbasid Caliph, the Roman Emperor broke 1:04:16 the treaty unilaterally. And in the 1:04:20 accounts, it is mentioned that the 1:04:23 cruelty of the Roman soldiers went as 1:04:25 far as dragging a woman, a Muslim woman 1:04:30 in the city of Ammoria, dragging her 1:04:32 with a horse until she cried out, 1:04:34 calling the name of al-Mu'tasim. "Oh, 1:04:37 al-Mu'tasimah!""Oh, al-Mu'tasimah!""Oh, 1:04:39 al-Mu'tasim!""Oh, al-Mu'tasim!" The 1:04:43 news was brought to him, to al-Mu'tasim 1:04:45 , in his palace just as he was holding 1:04:47 a glass, about to drink.
