The questioner asks: How do screening and training lead to the establishment of the Caliph?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Is it possible, please, is it possible for me to ask a question? How will screening and training lead to the Caliph?

The Shaykh: History repeats itself, history repeats itself.
The student: I mean, we need to know, I mean, if this is the change... .

The Shaykh: My dear, you did not ask.
The student: How it is supposed to come after the screening and training.

The Shaykh: You did not ask?
The student: I asked.

The Shaykh: Okay, do not wait for an answer.
The student: Please, answer.

The Shaykh: Okay, I said history repeats itself, yes.
The student : ... .

The Shaykh: ... History repeats itself. We all claim that our Messenger is our model, the Messenger (peace be upon him). When he was first sent, we all know he was not sent to fight in the cause of Allah, but he was sent with the creed, and he spent more than half of the time of his call planting this creed in the hearts of the Muslims, and... accompanying this was that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was training his Companions with Islamic training. He was training them so that one of them would say the word of truth, that he would not be deterred by the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allah, that he would fear no one but Allah, and so on. This was training. He was, of course, teaching them the legal rulings that were revealed to them. And we all know today that our Islam today, and our religion today, is not as it was when Allah (Mighty and Majestic) revealed it upon the heart of our Prophet (peace be upon him):
This day I have perfected for you your religion الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
to the end of the verse. Rather, much has entered it from which Islam is innocent. Is this correct for you, or not?
The student : Reality.

The Shaykh: It is a reality, I mean, it is not correct.
The student: It is correct.

The Shaykh: Okay, if it is correct, does this Islam, into which has entered what is not part of it, yield the fruits it yielded in the first era?
The student: Okay, and how do you build... .

The Shaykh: It is not okay, my brother, it is not okay. I am asking you, answer me, or tell me I did not understand the question. I am asking: this Islam, which we all acknowledge that... do not think, I am reading in your eyes, so understand what I am saying to you, then answer me. I am telling you, this Islam.
The student: I am not just wanting to understand what you are saying only... .

The Shaykh: My dear, when you want to understand it, and I am asking you a question, either you understood it and... the answer.
The student: It is that we do not let you walk us down a path that you have designated beforehand.

The Shaykh: I designated it beforehand.
The student: I mean, you... .

The Shaykh: Do you know what you want to say?
The student: Yes, we... .

The Shaykh: I mean, I... am from the people of unveiling.
The student: I am not from the people of unveiling, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh: I am not from the people of unveiling.
The student: I mean... .

The Shaykh: We... .
The student: Look, my dear professor.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: Now, the hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman.

The Shaykh: No, I, I am tired of this now.
The student: Why do I have to discuss it again?

The Shaykh: ... Because you asked me about screening and training, I started answering you... .
The student: But I understood... .

The Shaykh: No, you did not understand it, you did not understand it, as evidenced by the fact that I directed the question to you and you fled from it. How did you understand me? Why did you not answer me?
The student: Frankly, I mean, I want to ask again, just as you are asking me, I want to ask.

The Shaykh: And you are not asking, my brother, may Allah guide you.
The student : Yes.

The Shaykh: You are not asking, are you not the one who asked? I am reminding you now, and I do not want to use a style where I say to you, listen to your question and listen to the answer, listen, I do not want to take this path here, but I am reminding you, and the reminder benefits the believers. Are you not the one who asked how screening and training lead to establishing the Caliphate?
The student: As long as you mention that history repeats itself, on the basis that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)... .

The Shaykh: Who authorized you to say all this? Who authorized you?
The student : It is me.

The Shaykh: Who authorized you?
The student: It is that you, sir, do not keep taking up all the time in... screening and training. That is it, history repeats itself. You mean... the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), screening and training.

The Shaykh: You want to impose on me, I mean, if I had planned in my mind when I asked you a question, I planned in my mind five minutes of speech.
The student : What is it.

The Shaykh: Look... .
The student: I do not mean... .

The Shaykh: I am saying you are imposing on me, I mean, if I planned to answer your question in five minutes, you impose on me that it be one minute.
The student: I mean, the point is that there are many questions, but that is it, the time has passed... .

The Shaykh: I asked you a question, one of the simplest questions, and you do not answer me.
The student: I am right now... .

The Shaykh: My brother, is it permissible for you to impose on me that I speak at a time when I imposed on myself to speak for five minutes, and you impose on me to speak for one minute?
The student: The truth is, my esteemed professor, you spoke more than me ten times. You spoke more than ten times, and you are not able to clarify to the people.

The Shaykh: Despite your nose, or at your request.
The student: Where, where, I mean, I want to speak, I mean... clarify in it things that are... might be confusing for the attendees, I mean.
