Speaker A

We're continuing with the book, the summary of the Quran, the mannerisms of the carriers of the Quran. So far, what we've taken is that the author, in his introduction, mentioned the ayat that Allah has mentioned within the Quran where Allah talks about the Quran itself and describes the Quran with many different descriptions showing the greatness of the Quran.

00:31

Speaker A

Quran itself and describes the Quran with many different descriptions showing the greatness of the Quran and then after that he mentioned the virtues from the hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam regarding the Quran and those who recite the Quran and the

00:45

Speaker A

Then, after that, he mentioned the virtues from the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam regarding the Quran and those who recite the Quran and the rewards that they attain.

00:58

Speaker A

Quran or who are not sincere to Allah when reciting the Quran so that we may stay away from those characteristics.

01:03

Speaker A

Then the author talked about the mannerisms of the people of the Quran so that we can follow them.

01:28

Speaker A

The student he says whoever recites to somebody else and he learns from him. Then he should have good manners with him when he's sitting between him in front of him and he should sit in a very humble manner. So he shouldn't be sat leaning

01:53

Speaker A

And then he mentioned the mannerisms of those who recite the Quran who are not upholding the rights of the Quran or who are not sincere to Allah when reciting the Quran so that we may stay away from those characteristics.

02:09

Speaker A

where's a you can't put your feet towards it's not about it's about edav if your father was sat in front of you you wouldn't put your legs out like that the only time you would stretch your legs out is if that you've sat there for

02:20

Speaker A

And yesterday we took some of the characteristics of the teacher when he is teaching.

02:29

Speaker A

of a student of knowledge And he does he goes towards the teacher. Meaning his whole attention is towards the teacher.

02:41

Speaker A

Today the author will talk about the etiquettes of the student, and the author, he says, chapter mentioning the characteristics of the one who recites upon the teacher.

02:46

Speaker A

Why? No, I didn't do that. And answer back. He if the teacher tells him off, the teacher becomes upset, he remains patience. you're impatient and he becomes gentle with the teacher and he believes you know he has the teacher has aura or

03:07

Speaker A

The student, he says, whoever recites to somebody else and he learns from him, then he should have good manners with him when he's sitting between him, in front of him, and he should sit in a very humble manner.

03:22

Speaker A

even the smallest list of things you're you don't do out of the great amount of respect that you have for the teacher and this issue of ha and having respect for a teacher is something which is very rare to be found in this day and age the

03:37

Speaker A

So he shouldn't be sat leaning against the wall.

03:52

Speaker A

nor Does he that for the teacher or for the scholar of the one who has this knowledge he doesn't uphold his rights? Notice how when it came to the one who's older and the one who's younger, the prophet

04:05

Speaker A

He shouldn't be sat leaning on his arms like this.

04:21

Speaker A

know the rights uphold all of the rights of the person of knowledge. Even though the word is singular in of itself, it's so therefore in the it shows plarity. So the station of that teacher and person of knowledge is much

04:37

Speaker A

He shouldn't be leaning on his hand like this.

04:49

Speaker A

One of them is the first one is the Muslim to respect the Muslim whose beard and hair has become white due to old age. So it's not just somebody older but he's so old that all his hair and

05:01

Speaker A

He shouldn't be stretching his legs, whether towards the teacher or even towards the... some people turn around where you can't put your feet towards.

05:18

Speaker A

other day. He noticed that after the um I give the reminder. So one of the elders they got up and they went to the back and they started shouting in the masid which is not from the etiquets of

05:31

Speaker A

It's not about... it's about adab. If your father was sat in front of you, you wouldn't put your legs out like that.

05:44

Speaker A

imam even if he's younger than you however the only reason I didn't say anything is because he was old and I've done that so many times but I'm not going to mention it publicly right and then but what happens is those comments

05:58

Speaker A

The only time you would stretch your legs out is if you've sat there for like an hour and two hours, your legs are hurting. You can stretch them for about 30 seconds, and once the pain goes, you put them back in.

06:09

Speaker A

soon as I finished wah what did I do what did I do I got up and I went to shd and said please give a reminder I asked him three times he said no three times so then I continue he said you do it so

06:22

Speaker A

As for just sitting like that, that is not from the etiquette of a student of knowledge.

06:33

Speaker A

part of committees, whether they just because they have a bit of position, they think they know what etiquette are and they make up their own criteria for etiquets and that is not from the etiquets of uh a Muslim, never with

06:45

Speaker A

And he does, he goes towards the teacher, meaning his whole attention is towards the teacher.

06:59

Speaker A

venerating Allah is having respect for the one who is old in age that his white his beard become white. The seconduran and the carrier of the Quran don't just mention the first part of the hadith and then think you can say whatever you want

07:11

Speaker A

And if the teacher tells him off, he takes it. He doesn't argue back.

07:26

Speaker A

statements of the sal you will be shocked and some of them people now can't even understand how is that even respect. Why? Because how of how much respect has been lost. So if you start from the time of the the Abbas

07:42

Speaker A

Right? Why? No, I didn't do that. And answer back.

07:52

Speaker A

just stand there outside of the house long however long it may be and then when he would come out he would say you're the cousin of the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam you would tell us when you want me to come I'll

08:03

Speaker A

If the teacher tells him off, the teacher becomes upset, he remains patient. You're impatient, and he becomes gentle with the teacher, and he believes, you know, the teacher has aura or the teacher has, you know, a status where it's a hard word to translate. Aura is actually one of the translations that just come up, but what that basically means is that you have so much respect for the teacher.

08:18

Speaker A

come and all these comments a person who says those comments, he has no respect whatsoever. The only reason I've not said anything publicly is because most of those people are old in age. So our respect for them, I don't say anything.

08:29

Speaker A

Even the smallest list of things, you don't do out of the great amount of respect that you have for the teacher.

08:39

Speaker A

Another example is he said that I had an issue to ask there's an ayah regarding two women in I want you to ask who were those two women that this ayah is referring to. He said out of the

08:58

Speaker A

And this issue of having respect for a teacher is something which is very rare to be found in this day and age.

09:10

Speaker A

to cause any harm to him. I waited a whole year just ask him and I finally found opportunity when we were going for Hajj. He went to do so he said uh bring the water cuz back in the day they weren

09:23

Speaker A

The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he said, he is not from us, the one who does not respect his elders.

09:38

Speaker A

but look out of the respect he waited a whole year just to ask him a question and now people don't even wait one second before speaking bad about the people of knowledge and by the way I know I'm giving my example that's only

09:53

Speaker A

And some people, they just stop the hadith here, ah, he don't respect our elders, finish off the hadith.

10:06

Speaker A

wants to be from the people of the Quran and you'll find that even if somebody was but he was a person of knowledge the would respect It says that when he would enter the masid, he would pray to and he would sit

10:22

Speaker A

Nor does he have mercy on the youngsters.

10:44

Speaker A

coward, but in terms of out of respect that none of them wanted to speak and even ask him a question until he started speaking and he mentioned a hadith and everyone started talking then they got a bit comfortable or they waited for

10:55

Speaker A

Nor does he that for the teacher or for the scholar, or the one who has this knowledge, he doesn't uphold his rights.

11:07

Speaker A

because he was a person of of knowledge. Another example is by imi when he was with Imam Malik he says I saw from Imalik the respect and veneration for knowledge.

11:33

Speaker A

Notice how when it came to the one who's older and the one who's younger, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam only mentioned one.

11:48

Speaker A

I had so much respect for him. If I was sat in front of him when even turning the page, I would try my best not to even make a sound out of respect for him and out of not wanting to disturb him.

11:59

Speaker A

He only mentioned one thing to do: respect the elder and have mercy for the youngster.

12:12

Speaker A

Malik why due to the respect for the knowledge that he had another example is an example of who was a student of Imam he said I had so much respect for Imam Shafir and he's one of the main students he's the one

12:28

Speaker A

But when it came to the person of knowledge, the Prophet made it plural.

12:39

Speaker A

So, subhan Allah, look at how they would deal with their teachers and the respect they would have with their teachers. And now look how people are with the people of the Quran and you'll be shocked. A lot of time we

12:53

Speaker A

Know the rights, uphold all of the rights of the person of knowledge.

13:02

Speaker A

elders, I'm not going to say who he is, right? He doesn't like he didn't doesn't like Rashid for whatever reason. When Rashid got up to lead the salah cuz I told him to lead. I wasn't here that day. What did he say? Ah, you're aan.

13:16

Speaker A

Even though the word is singular in of itself, it shows plurality.

13:20

Speaker A

You're aaitan. So he said, "All right, you lead." Well, see that old man doesn't know how to recite fat whatsoever, but he has the audacity to call somebody.

13:30

Speaker A

So the station of that teacher and person of knowledge is much higher than the other.

13:41

Speaker A

Muslim like that? And then props to Rashid, he stayed quiet out of respect. Didn't say anything. Then he got up to turn off the lights, the switches. He got up and as he's walking to us is is a next level

13:54

Speaker A

And likewise, in another hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he said that verily from glorifying Allah is that you respect the following people.

14:05

Speaker A

You tell me this is this is what happens. This is what happened. This is how imams are treated. This is how are treated. This is how students of knowledge are treated." Not saying I'm saying generally what happens with the

14:16

Speaker A

One of them is the first one, is the Muslim to respect the Muslim whose beard and hair has become white due to old age.

14:31

Speaker A

alaihi wasallam in that hadith and majority of the time the reason people don't even respect them is not even because they've done something wrong just it's just because they're upset that they don't agree with what he did and according to their lack of

14:44

Speaker A

So it's not just somebody older, but he's so old that all his hair and everything has become white.

14:54

Speaker A

online and say you're wrong. Even knowing who to ask, there's rules to it. It's mentioned in the books of the endless books. You can't just pick anyone. And if anyone gets fat against me, no problem. Whichever gives a fat,

15:07

Speaker A

And without a doubt, that person requires some respect even if he does something wrong.

15:17

Speaker A

what you what you're saying is right, it's fine. It's not a problem." But what's the problem? People don't know how they either they don't know how to respect or they don't want to know how to respect. And all they want is

15:27

Speaker A

For example, and I'm only addressing this because it was done in the masjid a couple of days ago when Mdadi came, Hadi came from Birmingham the other day.

15:40

Speaker A

your teacher is that if you want the best from your teacher, you have to show him the best from yourself. Cuz end of the day, he's not losing out. If somebody comes to me, he's rude to me.

15:51

Speaker A

He noticed that after the, um, I gave the reminder, so one of the elders, they got up and they went to the back and they started shouting in the masjid, which is not from the etiquettes of the masjid.

15:58

Speaker A

It's not made a difference to my life. I know how to recite the Quran.

16:00

Speaker A

He started pushing one of the committee members, which is not from the etiquettes, and then he loudly started to say, "What a betame im" and "What are this bisham im" and so on, which is not from the etiquettes how you speak about an imam, even if he's younger than you.

16:07

Speaker A

But who's the one who truly losing out? The person with those bad manners. And who else is losing out? The rest of the community. Because they don't end up learning as well.

16:18

Speaker A

However, the only reason I didn't say anything is because he was old, and I've done that so many times, but I'm not going to mention it publicly.

16:36

Speaker A

was that shyness will prevent you from even making an issue you stay quiet and you have patience upon it and you'll find that in reality will actually to raise you and later if the once the teacher realizes if he was wrong and he

16:48

Speaker A

Right?

16:58

Speaker A

and you argue and you get your right it's not about rights it's about respect we had an issue um sometimes after the salah when I have my we have to set up right some of the people don't want to

17:08

Speaker A

And then, but what happens is those comments become widespread, and people start thinking about the bad about the imam and so on.

17:20

Speaker A

save us 20 minutes cuz you spend 20 minutes praying your salah we everyone has to wait and there's women who are with children they have to go home and so on just move to the side it's not a

17:27

Speaker A

Why was he this? He didn't let Sheikh Bhadi speak.

17:50

Speaker A

he should only read the amount that he's able to and the amount that the teacher sets for him. So the teacher says learn five ayat. You only learn five ayat. You don't learn you don't learn extra. Why?

18:03

Speaker A

And the reality is everyone who was here on the first off can be a witness.

18:12

Speaker A

not be the same. Right? But if you feel like you can do more, you can ask.

18:16

Speaker A

As soon as I finished, what did I do? What did I do? I got up and I went to Sheikh D and said, "Please give a reminder."

18:26

Speaker A

[snorts] And if the teacher tells you off, cuz the teacher has the right to tell you off. He has the right to discipline you.

18:34

Speaker A

I asked him three times. He said no three times, so then I continued. He said, "You do it."

18:48

Speaker A

they wouldn't teach. Right? So discipline the student is something which is in the right of the of the teacher. So if the teacher does discipline you, what's upon you to get upset and leave the class? You have patience. And you'll find that this

19:04

Speaker A

So I did it.

19:17

Speaker A

that maz studying with for long periods of time and having patience upon all the difficulties that come with learning a hadith and learning the religion of Allah people don't have that patience anymore nor do they have that respect

19:31

Speaker A

So on top of that, he's lying, and he's slandering the imam.

19:47

Speaker A

especially if he teaches him well he should be grateful towards the teacher and he should make dua for the teacher that's another thing I can't remember the name of one of the but he said that there's never a time I pray to except

20:00

Speaker A

So you tell me, what sort of etiquette is this?

20:14

Speaker A

bad everyone's human everyone makes mistakes Let's say he ends up getting angry with you without reason or says something you shouldn't have said. You don't do the same back to him. If he does something bad to you, you don't do

20:23

Speaker A

And this is a problem in many people, whether they're older in age, whether they're part of committees, whether they just because they have a bit of position, they think they know what etiquette are, and they make up their own criteria for etiquettes.

20:34

Speaker A

Because you say you have two fathers, the clay, the sand, the the biological father, the religious father or some say spiritual father or second father, whatever you want to call it. Because even the prophetam said in the verily I am to you like the father who

20:56

Speaker A

And that is not from the etiquettes of a Muslim, never with another Muslim, never mind with a teacher or with an imam or with a person of knowledge.

21:06

Speaker A

aren't here. Oh, see when I was a kid, I was like, what you on about? But it makes sense. It's the same meaning over here because it's the parents responsibility to teach the children and to nurture the children. So likewise a

21:17

Speaker A

If you read and finish the hadith before I mention some of the quotes from how they were with their teacher.

21:36

Speaker A

And if you do this then most likely he will end up also acknowledging your rights as well. Some teachers what they do they're a bit more stricter in the beginning just to test you to see how you are what type of a student are you

21:49

Speaker A

So the hadith mentions from venerating Allah is having respect for the one who is old in age, that his beard becomes white.

22:05

Speaker A

he's come to the mas before he's not the the head of hadith he was walking with a few people. So I said to my teacher, "Oh, that's a sheh from UK. Can I go give Islam to him cuz I recognize him

22:17

Speaker A

The second, and the carrier of the Quran, don't just mention the first part of the hadith and then think you can say whatever you want about everybody else.

22:26

Speaker A

were two guys with him, one of them was immediat. It's just me and him. Do you want to come? So I said to my teacher I said I've got opportunity to sit with the imbu can I please go he said okay he let

22:45

Speaker A

Now finish off the hadith, and then they say you just want to pick and choose what pleases you.

22:56

Speaker A

students reciting the same tune to the teacher so I was sat there and after about 10 minutes the idea came to me I want to recite to him as well so I spoke to and I said to him speak to the sheh

23:06

Speaker A

And going back to the teacher of how the issue of how to respect the teacher, you read the statements of the sal, you will be shocked, and some of them people now can't even understand how is that even respect.

23:15

Speaker A

sheh leans is the only one that I've seen the sheh budges up and both of them lean against the pillar. So you know they go back you know a long way. So they just whispered a little bit and

23:26

Speaker A

Why? Because how much respect has been lost.

23:36

Speaker A

Arabic was poor. So I come back the next week and I proper prepared a whole sentence and a paragraph to speak to the sheh. The sheh I came last week uh and uh sheh was there and uh you told me I

23:47

Speaker A

So if you start from the time of the Abbas, he would go and he would stand outside of the house of Z waiting for him to come out, and he would stand in the sun, and the sand would come and he be hitting his face, and he would just stand there outside of the house long, however long it may be.

23:56

Speaker A

said I'm busy. Come back after two weeks. That's a common thing in s come back tomorrow. Now, honestly speaking, most UK students will be like, "Forget this.

24:05

Speaker A

And then when he would come out, he would say, "You're the cousin of the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. You would tell us when you want me to come, I'll come to you."

24:17

Speaker A

just looked at me. Yeah. He didn't smile anything. He looked at me. He goes, "Just sit down." Okay. Then after he said, "Read." And I started to read. And I was so nervous that I was sweating so much. If I put my hand on the floor, all

24:31

Speaker A

And he said, "This is how we have been commanded to deal with our scholars, with our people of knowledge. Sit there quietly and be patient."

24:41

Speaker A

it wasn't bad alhamdulillah I did good then he just said all right come back tomorrow same time and I started to come and this was after but I would wait a long time I would only read 1/8 of a so about two and a

24:53

Speaker A

What happens now if the imam's 5 seconds late, looking around or doesn't come, and all these comments?

25:08

Speaker A

He went, he led Came back, sat down like nothing happened in I was like, "You just led Salah, okay?" But he sat down like nothing happened. And then the adan of went and I'm still sat next to the

25:19

Speaker A

A person who says those comments, he has no respect whatsoever.

25:29

Speaker A

Right. Alhamdulillah, I had my books from my class as well. So whilst I was waiting I was just reading those other books and he was busy cuz the sheh is a judge as well. He's also in charge of

25:37

Speaker A

The only reason I've not said anything publicly is because most of those people are old in age.

25:40

Speaker A

So and there were people from the office coming to him. So he was busy but then after that maybe the saw that the patients or alhamdulillah the the eagerness to learn eventually what he became I used to pray

25:53

Speaker A

So our respect for them, I don't say anything.

26:03

Speaker A

quickly I was able to recite to him. I'll recite to him, then I'll go to another teacher, then I'll go to another teacher and recite to three different teachers just between.

26:10

Speaker A

But because this is now opportunity because we can give examples, and I'm not mentioning anyone particularly by name, and the examples of this are many.

26:19

Speaker A

time, and after two weeks, he's nowhere to be seen, right? And in my head, I'm just like, okay, have I just wasted my time giving him all that time? So, the teacher would only give you the best of

26:28

Speaker A

Another example is he said that I had an issue to ask. There's an ayah regarding two women, and I want you to ask who were those two women that this ayah is referring to.

26:41

Speaker A

Now the he just mentions that we have been commanded to uphold the rights of the scholar and to obey the scholars as the prophet sallallaihi wasallam has uh has commanded. Then he mentions uh other hadith uh and ayad proving this point. I

26:59

Speaker A

He said out of the respect for and out of...

27:15

Speaker A

teaches you something and now let's say someone tells you to lead the salah or someone tells you to do something, don't read something you've not learned. Don't start reading your own thing or you still learn the first Jews and now you

27:24

Speaker A

want to recite and you just stick to whatever you you have been taught. The prophet said, "Read as you have been taught.

27:33

Speaker A

And then no and then the rest of the etiquets can be summarizing if I've already uh mentioned then just towards the end he he says that once the sheh leaves and that's another thing you should leave not before the sheh finishes you don't

27:51

Speaker A

leave straight away the etica is you leave after the sheh obviously if the sheh ends up staying because he's taking questions or something that's different you can leave but some students as the sheh is finishing they already one

28:02

Speaker A

foot's already outside of the door. That's not from the eta. The eta is you get there before the teacher and you leave after the teacher. But then he says and if you want to stay in the masid and increase in doing zikar and

28:11

Speaker A

praying the salah um you can and if you have nothing else to do then it's best to stay in the masid and to recite the book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and to stay away from idol speech and so on.

28:22

Speaker A

And generally uh the last sentence he says to use all of the noble characteristics when it comes to attending uh the lessons and even walking to the class and coming out of the class so that you can become from

28:33

Speaker A

the people of the Quran and Allahha is the one who guides to all of that. So we ask Allahh to guide us to the best mannerisms. The next chapter inshalla is the etiquets when reciting the Quran itself. So now we've talked about how

28:45

Speaker A

the teacher should be how the student should be. Okay. When you actually reciting the Quran how do you recite it?

28:49
