Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Are you asking or stating?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : Are you stating or asking?
The questioner : I am asking whether he is considered the renewer of this century.
The Shaykh : No, he is not considered one, because he was not among the scholars; rather, he was among the guides.
The questioner : He is a reformer.
The Shaykh : To a certain extent.
The questioner : Yes, very well. Do you not know who the renewer of this century is?
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you, you apologized for your mistake with me.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So you will return to a similar mistake again. May Allah forgive you, did you not ask this question before?
The questioner : I asked about the renewers of the centuries.
The Shaykh : Ah, may Allah forgive you. You asked about this era, did I know any of the renewers? I said no. And now you have returned to the same question, and may Allah forgive you.
The questioner : I am sorry, I asked about the renewers of the centuries.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is possible that I did not understand you, or you did not make yourself clear to me, one of the two. Yes, of course, 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz is the renewer of the second century, and Imam al-Shafi'i for the beginning of the third century.
The questioner : And the first century?
The Shaykh : The first century is the one in which the Messenger was sent. Do you understand me?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay.
The questioner : And Ibn Taymiyyah?
The Shaykh : The renewer of the seventh century.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of yourself.
The questioner : Do you know anyone else?
The Shaykh : I do not remember now.
The questioner : Can you guide me to a book that will teach me about that?
The Shaykh : Yes. Refer to Kashf al-Khafa wa Muzil al-Ilbis, and refer to Fayd al-Qadir, the commentary on al-Jami' al-Saghir.
The questioner : Kashf al-Khafa?
The Shaykh : Kashf al-Khafa.
The questioner : Kashf al-Khafa.
The Shaykh : Kashf al-Khafa by Shaykh Isma'il al-'Ajluni.
The questioner : Yes, and the second one?
The Shaykh : The second is Fayd al-Qadir, the commentary on al-Jami' al-Saghir, by Shaykh 'Abd al-Rauf al-Manawi.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with the best reward.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you likewise.
The questioner : And may He admit us and you into Paradise.
The Shaykh : O Allah, amen, O Lord of the worlds.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
