Do you see, Shaykh, how it is now common among the Shaykhs or among the preachers in general? They focus on this. Do you think it is more beneficial for the Ummah to educate people in general?

The questioner : Do you see, Shaykh, how it is now common among the Shaykhs or among the preachers in general? They focus on this. Do you think it is more beneficial for the Ummah to educate people in general? The scientific lessons, meaning the one who is proficient in knowledge takes a book, a text like *Nail al-Awtar*, *Subul al-Salam*, *Al-Rawdah al-Nadiyyah*, or others. He explains them in the mosque and educates those around him in the mosque. Do you think this is more beneficial for the Ummah, or selecting lectures on specific topics, one lecture each week, for example, where he speaks about it and mentions some verses and hadiths? Is the question clear or not?

The Shaykh : I think it is clear.

The questioner : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : Both methods have a group. *Nail al-Awtar* and *Subul al-Salam* are for students of knowledge, fifteen, twenty people. But the lectures are for a large gathering of people. What do they gather?

The questioner : I mean, do you support delivering lectures on specific topics, for example?

The Shaykh : Why?

The questioner : I remember I gave a lecture two years ago, do you remember it? How we must interpret the Qur'an. It was a very excellent topic, more of a methodology than a lecture.
The student : ... .

The questioner : Banu Hashim, Banu Hashim. It was placing the dots on the letters regarding the topic of interpreting the Qur'an. So, I support holding lectures.

The Shaykh : Why not?

The questioner : But how should their titles be? In general, no... selecting them according to the current reality and the state of society.

The Shaykh : The title is imposed by the topic. The title is taken from the topic itself. What is the topic of the lecture...

The questioner : For example, sometimes there is a specific event in a specific Muslim country, and he gives a lecture about its topic. Is that possible?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is possible. It is possible, but it requires perhaps caution, meaning precision. It should be a scholar who knows how to eat the apple. There is no power nor strength except in Allah. Welcome, Abu Muhammad.
The student : Welcome.

The Shaykh : You have tormented us tonight. So, without a doubt, certainly, no customer has come to you as tiring as this customer.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The student : Shaykh, if he was not a customer, then this customer...
Another student: By Allah, he is the customer we love, O...

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
The student : O Shaykh, by Allah, I mean it.

The Shaykh : In any case, I acknowledge the favor of your coming here. It was supposed to be me who came to you. O Allah, O the Generous.
The student : By Allah, O our Shaykh, I thought that I would even come to you from the car... my place of work, and I would do the work for you at my place of work. I thought like that.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. I hope you will not need it.
The student : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Except in the nearest time and with the least effort, if Allah wills.
The student : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Of course, you have not enjoyed drinking tea. What do you think? Shall we make you fresh tea and you will enjoy drinking it? Or do you prefer something cold, for example? What do you think? Which do you prefer? Everything is available.
The student : By Allah, may Allah reward you with good. You are the owners of the house, so you choose.

The Shaykh : No, look, what do you want? What do you want?
The student : I want to hear your speech only. I do not want to drink.

The Shaykh : But combining them is permissible.
The student : It is permissible, but I do not want to.

The Shaykh : How? Since it is permissible, why don't you want to? Choose, may Allah bless you. Coffee, cold tea, what do you want?
The student : Coffee, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Coffee, and tea. Combining them is permissible.
The student: Our Shaykh.
