Hadith

You're now developing this mixing pot.

Shaykh ul-Islam Taymiyyah, he studied under his father and his brothers as well were scholars as well He studied under his father and he memorized the Qur'an before he became baliq, before he reached puberty And he studied and mastered hadith, fiqh, the Arabic language, Qur'an And he studied with over 200 different teachers Over 200 different teachers Shaykh ul-Islam Taymiyyah studied with And in this time of studying, he mastered all four of the madhahib And he went in great lengths of studying And in detailed study Now one of the things that is unique about Ibn Taymiyyah One of his students, Imam al-Dhahabi He mentions, I've never met anyone like Ibn Taymiyyah Who is able to quote the Qur'an and the Hadith so fast You're asking him a question, the hadith, the ayah is there, impactful Imagine Imam al-Dahabi who wrote a book that is like this large on people's biographies And he's saying there's no one like Ibn Taymiyyah who has that speed, that recall, that command Ibn Taymiyyah was unique and a pure genius in this He mastered almost every field that he touched If you see Ibn Saimiya, some of the people when they comment on his works There was a time in his life where he had access to no libraries He had access to no books And he was still writing books Lengthy books with nothing to refer to Sometimes we underestimate this When we think about scholars and authoring books and things like that If you're writing an essay or you've done something like that how many times are you referring back to the original PDF or the original document just to check if you've got the wording right imagine writing an entire book and all of your entire database is purely in your mind imagine you're writing a book where you're combating someone else's ideas you're refuting something But you don't even have their book in front of you.

So not only do you understand and can recall your position perfectly from your memory, but you can recall the other person's as well.

That was the depth of his knowledge.

His knowledge was encyclopedic.

Now, in his time, there's a story which, I believe Ibn Qayyim, he narrates this story, that when Ibn Taymiyyah was... young and he was still learning that there was this Jewish man who would regularly come and debate him and he would try to challenge Ibn Taymiyyah and try to challenge him in the matters of faith and they say that Ibn Khaym he mentions that Ibn Taymiyyah was so even though he was a young boy we're talking like maybe at this time maybe 15, 16 something like this and he's debating with a grown man Who's confident enough that he feels that in a Muslim land he can debate a Muslim And try to convert them So he must have knowledge Ibn Khaym says that How quick Ibn Taymiyyah Ibn Taymiyyah didn't stutter in his responses He was fast So fast that after a few occasions that man converted to Islam This was Ibn Taymiyyah as a child Now What happened was, as Ibn Taymiyyah reached the age of around 21, his father, rahimahullah, passed away.

But what that meant was, is that Ibn Taymiyyah took over the chair of the Sukariya Madrasah, which was the head, the Darul Hadith.

So his father was the head of this Madrasah, the head teacher.

It's Surah Al-Ghafir.

The narration, the Hadith says, now this is the Hadith depicting the final day.

It's called Hadith As-Sur.

When the trumpet is blown and the souls are resurrected.

And every soul, its life is taken.

Now, as for England, you will no doubt be quite aware of the decades on.

I Pakistani rape gang scandal in which hundreds of thousands of young British girls, indigenous girls, underclass girls, not even working class, the left behind, the most forgotten of all our children, have been systematically abused because they are kafir, because they are not Muslim, by these people from a very specific region in Pakistan, who, by the way, quite regularly cite the Hadith or the Quran to justify what they're doing, and the systemic cover-up by either members of that community who have infiltrated local councils or local police, but also by, I guess you would say, lefties too scared to be called racist to do anything about it.

And it's one of the real horrors in our nation's history.

I mean, all-time horrors.
