Requesting the Shaykh to recommend some scholars from whom to receive knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, I am currently seeking knowledge. I have completed my degree in Sharia in Iraq. I am now seeking knowledge because, in truth, what I studied in Iraq was Ash'ari creed and jurisprudence according to the Hanafi school, which is my school. In reality, the benefit I gained was merely the basics, nothing more. So I am seeking knowledge here now.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to unite you with beneficial knowledge and to guide us and you to righteous deeds.
The questioner : In truth, my Shaykh, we are looking for a man from whom we can receive knowledge. I wish you would recommend a man to us, if possible.
The Shaykh : Perhaps Allah will guide you, because first, the presence of scholars today is scarce.
The Shaykh: Second, they may exist—and peace be upon you—I say that scholars of the type you are looking for are first, few in number. Then, if they are found, today everyone is occupied with himself and his family. It is no longer as it was in the old days, when we would enter the mosque and find a circle here and a circle there and a circle there; this one studying tafsir, this one studying hadith, this one Hanafi fiqh, this one Shafi'i, and so on. Today, the mosques are empty. The greatest reason, unfortunately, is the prevalence of love for this world among the particular, let alone the general. So we ask Allah to make easy for you the goal you are seeking.
Another questioner : I would like to mention, my Shaykh, that we have some brothers who have lessons and we would like to follow them.
The Shaykh : Yes, direct them.
Another questioner : Like our brother Ali Hasan.Al-Halabi : He has a lesson, organized between Maghrib and Isha on Friday. Also, Mushawwar Hasan has lessons, what Allah willed, they are continuous, andThe Shaykh : Salim al-Hilali, likewise, my Shaykh, they have, praise be to Allah, need to follow up. This is effort. In truth, initially, if Allah wills, you will visit us in Zarqa. And this brother, Ihsan, take his address and get to know him. And if Allah wills, it is easy. Jabal Nasr is also there, and where is Masjid al-Nasr? Our brother Hussein al-Awaishah teaches sometimes, need to follow up.
The Shaykh : You need to follow up and a means to move here and there and there; it is not an easy matter.
The questioner : I mean, the issue our brother raised is that the problem is in the material. Of course, my Shaykh, it stops at the obstacle on the road. Because, of course, regarding the religion, we did not speak about anything in a hurry, frankly. The issue of books is also an obstacle on our path. It is not just that we gather; we must look at some books. This is an issue. The issue of housing, if we stay in the city, that is it, we are... regarding money.
The Shaykh : Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
The questioner : Also, like these things, my Shaykh, the brothers can borrow initially. In seeking knowledge, as you are able, and you see a place, even... if Allah wills, it is easy for us. I mean, the sons of our land here are poorer than others, and this is tangible to everyone... and if we are not sittingThe Shaykh : If Allah wills, you will call. None of the brothers, meaning from those you know, are in a lesson.The Shaykh ... .
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Welcome. May Allah bless you. You have honored us.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. May Allah reward you with good... with your migration, if Allah wills, you will be successful.
