LIBRARY TOUR

One of my kids decided to draw a part of my library. So if you’ve been curious about what else is there, this is kid-ijtihad on what everything is and what it all means!

اللهم انشلْ شبابَنا من أوحال المُتكلِّمينَ جهلًا باسم الدِّين، الذين لم يُشتهروا بطلب العلم، ولم يأخذوا دِينَهم عن العلماء الأثبات الثقات ...
فقد صح عن الإمام مالكٍ رضي الله عنه أنه أوصى أحدَ شبابِ الأمة فقال:
لا تَحمِل العلمَ عمن لم يُعرفْ بالطلب، ولم يُعرفْ بمجالسة أهلِ العلم !

AI SUMMARY OF SOME FIQH LESSONS

A student has been making extensive notes in one of my classes on fiqh, tafaqquh, and fatwa. After about three months, he asked AI to summarise the key takeaways. I’m sharing its interesting summary-response below!

(1) The ulama's role as guardians of knowledge and spiritual guides is crucial for maintaining the integrity of Islamic teachings. Their wisdom and guidance help preserve the essence of faith across generations.

(2) In times of rapid social change, the ulama face unique challenges in adapting their approach while staying true to core principles. Balancing tradition with contemporary needs requires deep understanding and nuanced interpretation.

[صبر الإمام أبي حنيفة على تعليم العلم]

«سمعت الفضيل بن عياض يقول: كان أبو حنيفة رجلًا فقيهًا، معروفًا بالفقه، مشهورًا بالورع، واسع المال، معروفًا بالإفضال على كل من يضيف، صبورًا على تعليم العلم بالليل والنهار.» اهـ.

[RASA'IL READINGS: EPISODE 09] TREATISE ON THE ISSUE OF MARRIAGE WORDINGS

The Rasa’il Readings are periodic, brief readings of short treatises on law, legal theory, and the like, from across the Hanafi scholarly tradition.
 
In the ninth session, we covered al-Khatib al-Tumurtashi’s (d. 1004) risala on issue of whether a common mispronunciation during the marriage contract is deemed legally excusable or not.

A NOTE ON SEEKING KNOWLEDGE AND POOR SCHOLARS

I shared a post which said that seeking ʿilm without money is like engaging in war without a sword. Somebody had objected as scholars were poor. This was my comment:

On the contrary, the general trend with respect to scholars of the past was their being financially well-off because they were supported through the provision of government stipends and the like. Scholars being poorer is a recent phenomenon. The point in the OP stands in that seeking knowledge is not possible without funding, and that's also the reason why Imam Zarnuji dedicates a whole chapter of his work on the proper manners of a student to earning a living. Even now, you cannot go and study at a traditional seminary unless you have funding actually or effectively, namely, the individual pays or their relatives support them, or they are granted a third-party scholarship. Nothing is free. No teacher can teach for free. No institution can run for free. And no student can attain knowledge for free.

[THE SCHOLARS OF HANAFISM: 32] ʿABD AL-RAZZAQ AL-HALABI

The righteous faqih and masterful muqriʾ, born in 1925, studied extensively with Shaykh Salih and graduated at his hands. He taught lessons after fajr and between maghrib and ʿishaʾ at the Umayyad Mosque for some 60 years. Along with his teacher, he founded the Maʿhad al-Fath al-Islami where he taught, served, and issued fatwas, and he then eventually took charge. He served in multiple posts in Damascus, and he died in 2012.

من أكبر مزالق القراءة التراثية:
أن تفهم المكتوب بما في عقلك أنت، لا بما أراده كاتبه، وهذا لا يمكن تلاشيه مع ضعف التأمل.
وثانيا: فهم الكلام بمصطلحات عصرك، وعدم تصور واقع الكاتب.

A NOTE ON EXPERTS

Somebody asked me about recognising experts so I sent them a brief message. I’m sharing the response below for anybody interested:

Firstly, most of their serious ʿilmi engagement will be in that science, and they aren’t just a jack of all trades. Secondly, they are clearly very well read and able to recall the masaʾil (istihdar). Thirdly, they actually have production of knowledge through writing and teaching (and students have actually acquired the ʿilm, not just masaʾil of a particular book—even one student is sufficient!). Fourthly, they critically analyse and actively engage with the science (know how to tafsil/taʾwil/tarjih where needed), and they don’t just read for baraka. Finally, the ʿilm speaks for itself as they are coloured by it—they aren’t seeking dunya thereby. God help us!

من أئمة الكوفة المحدّث الحافظ الحجة زهير بن معاوية (174هـ) -قال عنه الإمام أحمد: من معادن العلم-، كان له تلميذ يختلف إليه، ثم غاب فترة، فلما عاد سأله الحافظ: أين كنت؟

قال: ذهبت إلى أبي حنيفة.

فقال: نِعمَ ما تعلمت، لَمَجلسٌ تجلسه مع أبي حنيفة خيرٌ لك من أن تأتيني شهرًا!!

FIQH, RESOLVE, AND ABSTINENCE

It is reported that Imam Abu Hanifa was asked about that which aids a person in learning fiqh and being able to recall it, so he responded by saying, “gathering and strengthening one’s resolve.” So the questioner followed up by asking what the means to that is, so he responded, “lessening one’s connection to things.” Finally, he asks what the means to that is, and Imam Abu Hanifa responds, “taking something when you have a need, and not going beyond that.”

At the heart of becoming a talib al-ʿilm is abstinence (zuhd). Wanting more dunya [material or spiritual] only leads to a decrease, and an occupation of dunya in the space of ʿilm and akhira. Things distract one from singularity in purpose and direction, and they should only be used as a means and not as an end-goal. Strengthen your knowledge through sincere practice, continually ask for an increase, and gather and strengthen your resolve because the path is long and fraught with danger.

May Allah grant us well-being, amin!

ʿIlmtertainment: a preoccupation with amusement and worldliness through sacred knowledge.

Knowledge is to be sought with sincerity and upheld with humility so that it leads to real piety.
