The Shaykh’s dialogue with the students regarding the scholarly awakening in the lands of the Muslims.

The Shaykh : I say that it is not appropriate to issue an opinion based on a personal observation, first regarding a specific person, such as yourself, and second regarding a specific country.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : So, it is not valid to generalize a personal observation of a person in a specific country or region and apply the ruling to everything that this person has not seen in every country. I do not know if my words are clear.
The student : Yes, correct.

The Shaykh : And there is no ambiguity in it.
The student : Please, Shaykh. Yes.

The Shaykh : It is clear. So, it appears that you mean Cairo, for example.
The student : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : You mean Cairo.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Okay, for example, the first thing that comes to mind in discussing this topic now, in discussing this topic, have you traveled through all the areas of Cairo, both the old and the new? I think the answer will be: No.
The student: Certainly.

The Shaykh : So, where is this ruling taken from as an established fact? The point is that hope and expectation are one thing, and speaking about reality is another. We hope that your judgment is correct and that reality does not contradict it, but "not everything a person wishes for can he attain." Please.
The student : But, praise be to Allah, Shaykh, there is an awakening in all the lands.

The Shaykh : In all the lands, the awakening exists. Yes, but think about something.
The student : We had to go to the right, Shaykh.

The Shaykh: No, no.
The student : You want to pray in the mosque of the family of Imran.

The Shaykh : That mosque is here. The awakening now is a scholarly and intellectual awakening; it lacks an educational and moral awakening. Stop in front of this car facing the mosque. Yes, enter little by little. Oh, Allah. In the name of Allah.
