Hadith Studies: Contributions from the Ulama of the Subcontinent

the reason I wanted to bring this to India is because a it's relevant to us that most Muslims here have a an origin which is India in essence obviously our region when we're talking about India here we're talking centuries ago when it was all him when he was all Hindustan it wasn't you know there was nothing no Pakistan there was nothing either so it's all considered India the work that is done at that stage I think that it's it's almost too important that

we address it so moving to Al hind' appear to be they'll hear Hindustani I think we need that playing in the background right so right if you remember I began by in the previous lesson by going through some names of some people that had played a key role in the documentation of hadith in as they wrote him out as books key people now amongst them there was a particular boss three scholar do you remember his

name no wow yeah right Bobby Agnes a via Al Basri lucky this is being recorded [Laughter] response to that right so that he is the person who share hodja hodja Khalifa say he's in his cache of the moon were over

lumen Sun novel Islam that this he was some people said that he was the first person to author in Islam like as in books because books they say he was one of the first people to document hadith if you're considering you're bypassing the the type of you know what the Sahaba I put down as what I thought they weren't like books it wasn't like the understanding wasn't what the Sahaba rope was so hot

if considered like they wrote literature yeah but yeah so it's like they had certain scriptures with them but it wasn't considered like it wasn't like in a book something that could be described as a book yeah he was from the survey now he probably knows of al-basri is one of the earliest people who wrote whether he wrote in Islam that's what hadith Khalifa says in his question of the moon however even if he didn't as a ball Hasan and Ned we rights that logic I mean Oh a little more elephant ehlmann

hadith in Aamir Khan oh well um be o'clock okay he's somebody who dies he was a lot he dies ten years almost before Imam Malik no sorry almost twenty years he does in one six 163 just ten years after imam abu hanifa he this person one of the first authors in hadith where does he die from them in

India in a way almost setting about a sign almost that he has planted the seeds of something that will emerge and blossom not now but maybe after a thousand years from him at a time when it will be most crucial I'll take you to the words of some scholars Zahid elko three Imams a little closer II who is

known for his very you know somebody passed away last century very known for being his Hanif eNOS almost a hardcore motorist if Hanafi was but was was undoubtedly a great scholar who was also committed to hadith and the revival of hadith studies now he writes in his McCulloch telco Surrey he says wakana had low a climbing hint mean hurdle mere earth that the fortune

or the portion of the lands of India in this inheritance in this prophetic inheritance of hadith Mondamin Tosa fell Carnell a sure since really the 10th century onwards he says who on one shot the animal hadith that the portion was the energy the enthusiasm in the sciences of hadith this was the portion

he says for acapella Alama al hindi alaihe Iqbal and Karelian that the OU Lama of hint devoted themselves to this study bada anchor no moon Sarafina ll Fatima Jared will illumine not area after they had been devoid of it by being strictly secluded to fit or confined to fit and just not read the sciences of logic and things like this he says well o is the abnormally Alama al hindi min and him metal edema phyllo meal hadith Mandela kill him

he says muderer coudl our column la vaca a Dalek immortal gerbil coolly wash and he says what Shukla Lamech says if we were to take their efforts that will ensue from that stage and compare them relatively with the other you know the major global spaces really made geographical locations within the Muslim world and see the efforts of the Ummah of him he says we would be in all and deep

gratitude to these people so and in them serving the sooner he says and I think this is important he says welcome little em'ly him in shadow and mum Tara says and how many of these scholars have got amazing commentaries what a Leah carton now if they are and very beneficial note Allah o su Li citta vary upon the major six books of hadith and other than them will come l'homme him Allah 13 were

Sofia hadith Alaka and how many books they've altered when it comes to the rulings of hadith or camula home in Edinburgh barfing up the original and how much work they've done enjoy what a deal no LLL hadith washer hell Arthur what a leave him Alif a free shuttle ma boite so okay so let's try and learn a bit about what what is he going on about what was all of this okay now it's him

yeah but they were Heywood it would expand on it as they not to invent it but to mention certain critical points and to to contribute to it significantly as in like making substantial contributions to the science you're right in the sense it is or it is it has generally been all done but you can still come up with unique points as we'll see of people like after high chef at Delhi Lucknow he has is amazing you know his book on her father took me on jihad Adi and that's just as an example

but so now like here was some of some of these names I just wanna I want to mention it is said that India fell into a huge stage of darkness that for centuries although Islam was there and many of the rulers were Muslim rulers and they were ulema present in India however it had been so overtaken by just that they had become so immersed in their own just

logic just fair call soon a hadith had began to be abandoned almost almost altogether you could say in most parts that seldom would you find somebody involved in such studies let alone also things like certain practices of bedad had become so overwhelming and maybe because of the closer links to the Hindu practices that were going on they were so difficult to eradicate and by just

faith alone you can never just eradicate these type of things then some then Allah blesses this subcontinent with legends that begin to emerge and among some of the names and we'll go through them again in a moment about people that you will see that start to attend it from all different parts of the world they say some of these and from different methods as well people like chef Scheib ahmed madrid enol misery from egypt

chef mohammed ahmed al fatiha he'll humbly these people come to a mystery scholar who's a Malachy chef Mohammed even Abdul Rahman there's a name chef Rafi ordained electricity now these are some names I'm mentioning to you what happens a popular name emerges all of a sudden this name is shir for Saladin allyl maitake okay remember this name Hassan a Dean for Sam or Dean al-muttaqun like

somebody with taqwa that's that was his name Alberto Han we now he passes away in 975 Hattori what he does is he gets the German he's somebody who becomes incredibly devoted to hadith he traveled he gets the Jeremy of a suti the general Jeremy he's got so many hadith really put together from all the books and he really organizes them according to the 30 as a sunan you know in the tricky

chapters and he calls this Kunstler mal so the book cancel or mal belongs to share for Saladin Almaty okay Alber handy now to the extent and this this is a massive work that people said the in early suti mina al l-alanine that Oh al al-amin almost the suti has a huge you know he the OMA was indebted to him almost with his collection of hadith Al Motta Taemin eternally and mudati has

this huge grace upon him for what he did now from his students comes somebody known as Mohamed Al Attar here alpha Tommy and he was from from Gujarat from modern I mean he was even then call Gujarat he's somebody who passes away in 986 Hillary what he does is he alters the book much Matoba Harrell Anwar which still remains a very popular book today

it is what he compiles and gathers in all the rebel hadith and what has been authored for as a commentary on words for the Sahara sitter okay now these people they said that they set the scale for what is going to come this this type of that what they start to do these people start to with their passion infuse some life into India by first of all collecting

all of these Hadees pulling I mean they were already collected by but organizing them in a way that made them accessible then his student gathering together the like a dictionary of all the words for the seja pulling them together much more of a huddle and what making it accessible make allowing people to access these things then come somebody who is known as chef a lama Abdul Haq Albahari a de lui okay or sometimes it's called my hardest Abdul

Haq Adela we now he passes away in 1052 Italy he's somebody who had traveled to hedgers traveled outside of India he gathers together a huge resource of hadith in the depths the ins the outs of Rogell of masala hadith of the actual Mattoon and hadith and he brings that knowledge back to India where he sets up and begins to teach so he starts and he writes commentaries as well and he authors in a pseudo hadith and he starts

to set up like actual classes mandatory classes where he is teaching his students actual hadith texts reviving this science because this wasn't a practice thing people didn't used to teach hadith in India it wasn't something that was done now you could say almost on the later end of Oh what share Mahad this until Hawk Adela we was doing was setting the stage for who would become the pivotal point

for India this so far was just a edema it was just an introduction just sitting it was that there was some almost sunk these were tremors maybe a bit of an earthquake you could say what was yet to be launched was a tsunami that would redefine India till this very age this very day that we're in set about a huge

a huge service to the Sun and that was any idea who that is absolutely chef Ahmed even Abdul Rahim a Delhi a KA sherawali a la Italian sherawali Allah was a legend okay he was an absolute legend when it came to hadith his father

himself Abdul Rahim was somebody that had taken had a strong taking to Hadi so before him before he even arrives on the scene his father like contemporary also to share had this Abdul Haq Adela we so on was influenced now with this new emergence of hadith and took very strong liking to it so his father set up a madrassa in Delhi : Madras ar-rahim iya this madrasah oh this worried his father was doing although he's a setting up a

simple madrasah like what shared Mahad this up till happened the hello he was doing so on set in the syllabus that people should study had and at that time what they were studying was more things like Mishka Toma sabbia and maybe some places they were studying like cancel on my land they were studying things like this now chef ahadith up the Hakka deli they say had his own commentary on Mishka to masovia that it set out share abdur-rahim has this interest where he starts to encouraged his students to look at the books like the saddest aji and another books and of this house it

was the Omaha telco table and take a look at them and encouraging people and so on so forth now along comes his son shah wali allah no it was contemporary but he's nice brother right so but what I'm trying the reason I mentioned the contemporary think that there's something in the air now this this thing is in the air that look we need to revive we need to move back to hadith that there hasn't been hadith around for a while so you see Shaolin Liddell if

somebody are a genius at a young age they say by the age of seven he'd memorized the Quran he began studying at that time what was the normal method of M he studied with his father study with other Lama locally study mother Sarah he had other people teach him others are he me as well obviously study the may Hanafy texts in fact he then studied the section of hadith as well in Madras Aranea he graduates at the age of 15 from Madras orihime ax still becomes

incredibly devoted at that time what was also very powerful in India as well was Tessa Woolf was incredibly powerful in the sense that it was enough anything else was not really known that you had to be like everybody was devoted to some particular Toria cause some particular thing so we also Shaolin we also gets pretty involved with the tariqa of his age he gets pretty Intel into that thing where he can start accepting they are from people and start taking they are from people and doing

things like that as well all the while increasing his own knowledge in things he starts teaching he starts doing things but this hasn't really changed massive nothing the tsunami hasn't come here yes tsunami Guney I it's like after the elections with Imran Khan the tsunami hasn't come yet yes he's going on there's this little interest it's in the air yes there's this fascination with Hadi it is

a bit more study going on but what happens at a later stage when he reaches the age of 30 well surely a lot that Louie does would change the course of history for India to come what he does in apparent apparently and quite ironically what would rescue and save India in the future at that stage unbeknown to him

was for him to leave India see a step which seems so opposing it seems on one hand he's actually left the entire country gone would actually serve as a salvific something that would become the salvation of that land in the future he leaves India and goes to the hitches he becomes very fascinated with had as was already known as was in perhaps inculcate it was perhaps to put into him

by his father this love for Hadi he goes to the haramein and obviously does our journey stays there and he starts to learn and he has his famous teachers about our hair al-madani al Kurdi and and yes many other areas Maliki teaches and all sorts he starts to study once again the may he had already studied certain books of Hadees in India but now he starts to study all these books with these people he studies the Muslims of Ahmed he studies them what of Imam Malik with the Mehari by history he starts to

learn his tastic really get into and he loves or his learning he can't get enough of it he is so immersed in this that he he makes an intention that he won't go back to India that he would stay now in the hedges that this was you know what they say balla Tolman true that this was what he his lost property owner this is what he had longed for and he was finally yet he was loving it

learning so much getting into Jaya what are the getting into the ELMO Rogell learning also about diverse thick further he had some sharing teachers taking understanding from them they also say at this stage he began to take a liking to the works of even a payment osya and also his teacher even at a mia that surely Allah they say became quite fascinated with the works of him Anatomy as well and so certain

resemblances with what what he felt that what even a taymiyah had gone through in his age he felt that those problems were very similar to the land of India in his time that people had turned away that there was immense beta are there was people were you know they'd really gone into all these other whether you want to say Sciences and to mention anything to mention how these people would you'd be criticized that what do you think you're going to ADIZ this is what the fatwa say is this is so he felt it and the more he learned the more he felt

sure that I won't go back to India that this is this is fine where I am and he says he thoroughly enjoyed every single day really of his study he spent at least over two years in the Hejaz doing nothing but absorbing in gaining several ijazat and all sorts they say that he he always had in his heart something like he wanted to do something though you know like you know some people they have this desire to do some they do this

they're not just complacent with I can just say yeah I want to achieve something in life as well that surely Allah had this about him now they say that he had he writes actually that he had a dream that he had a dream that the land of India becomes engulfed by Cofer an every point of it kind of is overtaken by this darkness in his dream to the extent that qu4 is there and

destroys and he mentions Ajmer dimensions Ajmer he says that the the latter borrow that the place of Ajmer is also destroyed and qu4 has enveloped the land of India and he says in this dream he then becomes present and he has what he describes oh he is being defined as what is called Kalimantan the one by whom the Dean will stand so where we he

is going he is dispersing the darkness of cavora so and he continues to go and he's with certain people in his dream he's not on his own and he is going and going until he kind of disperses and disposes of Kufa right up until a Gmail and where he's going this light of Iman has kind of spread and permeated with him he says that this dream kind of redefined his thought processes and it's his way of thinking about the future because he was pretty

content on staying in in the hedges but now all of a sudden he had this thought that maybe I should go back to India and maybe this is part of my mission that I need to the head my that I want to do because he wanted to do something but what he was thinking of I know maybe I'll offer some books or I'll do this I'll do that in the Hejaz maybe that's not where I'm meant to be maybe my desired maqam is in hint so he

sets back and turns his sail towards India Allah setting in motion a series of events that would have changed and will change the face of Muslim India to our very age he returns to Delhi and begins to teach they say he spends the next thirty odd years in teaching teaching hadith upon hadith upon hadith that he starts to combat this Horovitz

he still kind of associates himself with the hanafi madhhab although he begins to write about not sticking to what is like this blind and super rigid athlete he says that people should embrace the concept of hadith that they should be following hadith that we are following and the fish follow hadith and in certain circumstances if we find it doesn't then the hadith is not like an enemy to us this is the source of our guidance so he

starts setting out these waves he starts like teaching he starts authorizing giving ijazat in hadith authorizing other people to go off and teach decade after decade after decade he starts to speak about the acid of the Sharia he's very famous book object online Baraka this is what it's addressing the macarthy's of the Sharia

he also really if you could say infuses the love of the mapa in India once again something he gains from his teacher in the heart now prior to him although the motto was known undoubtedly in India but the love that Sharia law de lui the hello he has for the Mata was unparalleled he places the Mata if not equal then above the saw hang and that's the

position because he sees this as obviously being the book of Imam Malik now this effort of Shaolin lotta Halloween what it gives rise to you see in his own age it's now it's pushing huge is pushing numbers and numbers of students its cementing this understanding that we need to be reconnected with her during sha will allows absence and even prior to his absence as he was growing up and in maybe the years that preceded him he saw

in his environment not only were the Offit and the beta that were overwhelming but with them came the heresies of certain sects like the Shia and he found this problematic and he found that the reason that the Muslims weren't really in a position to refute a lot of them was because of the disconnection to Hadley you see we in essence the main and body of Muslims are the people of Sanaa and that Sunnah is documented in the happy if we are not a people of

hadith then we cannot truly be Allison because how are we to revive or even all you even present or even believe in something that we don't actually teach or propagate or even understand so what he also does he teaches in the Madras era he Mia his father's Institute he has four children who serve as pivotal people because you see what a great imam does isn't just have huge you know hold huge amounts of knowledge which he

passes on he does that surely but what he also does is he prepares people that can take the baton further if you haven't prepared people that can take it on then you fundamentally failed because although you will be a bleep you would have been some form of you know there will be yes some our little wave but it will shortly die after you so something that although the people before him you

had shared for some Athene you know certainly I mean you had Almaty chef Cosentino Matata you had Cheryl fattening you had these people creating certain waves chef Mahad this Abdul Haq Adel OE but what you didn't have was people setting proponents after them that would inherit and continue this legacy so what ship Charlie Liddell OE his four children they check Abdullah as this Halloween is a very key person who

continues the legacy of Shaolin Liddell oh he is huge he is the funnel really that from his father this huge energy is directed mainly obviously the other children are important to you and they play a role but sure Abdul Aziz Adel OE is the projector of that yeah now you've got his other brothers you've got Sheriff your team okay you

have got share his Abdul honey Adela we observe ronnie is also an important but I mean they were all important but what sha sha Abdul Ronnie also is a key transmitter and plays a huge role in transmitting the sciences his fourth son this Rafi or Dean this

sharp the lassies and I think it may have been something like rook Mateen but I mean but his fourth one Abdul Gani is the important one the key of his of his children the key players or the key role that is that is kind of given to and led by is by sure Abdul Aziz Shah Abdul Aziz after his father takes his role in Madras r-rahim ian the people that shall

abdul aziz produces become legends legends and obviously shah abdul aziz couldn't have just come from thini he start standing on the shoulders of his father surely a lot the hello the people he produces shah abdul aziz and he teaches forte hate the people he produces are the likes like his his other nephew Shah Mohammad is heart who eventually takes over after him but he produces the likes of Mia or they call me and Naseer

Hussain chef Nazir Nazira Naseer Hussain known as Cheryl Cole feel cool who becomes one of the key proponents of the al-hadith movement he produces who also from his students people like chef Shamsul Hakala vemma body from Azim Abad which is modern-day Patna by the way in I used to be known as Azim Abad back then who is also a key student of chef Naseer Hussain but he also studies with him see what he's setting in motion or not just these people are not just all

out this is just a scholar in happy these people than in themselves become powerhouses shah abdul aziz also teaches chef chef aladdin canoe ji who is the father of Nawabs of the hasan hot chef Naseer Hussain who is known as nice to call him Mirza back then I saw this Mirza by the way was a laptop that was given usually they would cool at that time the household of Chablis Lada hello they would call them or me Insomnia's

urban and of shah saab at that time they start to call shared nadir Hussain that as well just because he was so tight with chef Charbel Aziz at the Halloween this shared nadir Husain spends up to they say almost 60 years teaching Hadi the likes that he pushes out I mean he cement and solidifies people like Chef shomsul Hakala Dima body who has a major commentary on Abu Dawood people like share abdul rahman al mubarak puri who has a commentary on

tirmidhi these all his students many others amongst chef Nawab Civic Hassan Khan who has a huge influence and later on obviously in the region of Bhopal in India in Hadi all of those figures being key figures that contribute to the al-hadith movement he also but he is a contemporary yogi he's a direct student of sharp disease sharp diseases other student a contemporary of him is Mohammad is hearted ali muhammad is half a DeLuise the grandson is the grandson of shah

wali Lord Allah we but from the daughter he's from so he's a nephew of Abdul Aziz but through his sister now Shah Mohammad is Hawk Adela we he goes on to be the teacher of people like a chef in da de la al-muhajiroun monkey people like share casa minha not we people like I mean these people you can see this what then sets off and even most of the ala ma include chef rashida Montgomery the leaders of the founders of the diamond

sub school they find their traces here even in that in that hola Mohalla monkeys from the teachers of Rosa Mahan really you can see this whole link coming back to this household of de Leeuw from amongst the teachers of sharp disease I'm sorry from amongst the students of sharp disease I mean who he's produced Mohammed is half are also the likes of who is a key person sure

Ahmed ibn Affan al Braley this sháá Sher Shah almond or chef Ahmed if not a fan albe really isn't a really I know it may be cold a brief because he was from the area of really but he is known as a Magette did in himself this person that they produce was a close ally of a very close friend of shy smile Adel V he was somebody that they he was

a scholar that they produce had a huge concern about what was going on in India huge concern with the by this time the colonial powers worthy obviously in Charlie London hello his time they weren't surely Allah dela we he they arrived during his time but they don't arrive with such power surely Allah dela we himself was born within the last few remaining years of Aurangzeb rulership so he when when Aurangzeb passes away in the mid 1700s he was they say about four

years old so although it was the decline of the Mughal Empire but the colonial powers hadn't gained this type of vicious strength that they would in the years to come but by the time of shah abdul aziz by the time of shah abdul aziz it becomes huge amoebic they've become huge the colonial powers that the the english at that time had really taken over and really set ground this is why what share the concerns of people had become massively

kind of wait some really that they were so bearing on the people that thinking that what's going on but now all of a sudden they couldn't do a sentence you know so many islamic things were were banned and barred and they couldn't teach and they couldn't do this things had become so dangerous for years nobody had ever for for years people nobody had performed hajj the first were of the people was Hajis and thought just as the fatwa was many centuries ago in what part of the world in al-andalus many centuries ago that had reserved for because to go they would mean to get

there's work ways were too dangerous that so therefore it was no longer a fault she shy chef Ahmed I'm never fun he he he had this concern in him that we need to do something that leaving Islam like this that it would we need to kind of set about some we need to get rid of a these horrified but also this tyranny now his teacher Abdul Aziz Adel OE and also Mohammed is Haq had kind of set in

him this this love for a the Sunnah and to revive it in its purest form in fact shah abdul aziz Adela we when he when share ahmed a braille we had graduated after his graduation because although he did benefit also from Mohammed his heart but he did actually benefit directly from shah abdul aziz when he graduated was a scholar and they were having their type of conversations and there was also teaching them tur ba they say that he was teaching him and at that time I told you - so whoof was

heavily prevalent of the entire subcontinent and and that didn't and and when we say to solve sometimes this you know these people who may practice it within the guidance of the Sharia within the parameters and that's that's fine and that's a different topic altogether but as it was practiced then and as influenced by perhaps a lot of Hindu rituals and things like this it was considered to be overwhelmed by be the art and horror fart and things which were contrary to the Sun now sha but when when this is so prevalent it becomes the norm so here's shah abdul

aziz teaching shipment and he teaches him this thing they're going over this concept of the soul brochure that when you're doing vicar you should do you know there's this thing of you can to facilitate liquor you can do well you can picture you shift this is somehow an honor upon the dhikr of Allah helps the crow they say at this point that share Ahmed said that that I've refused to accept this he said I see no difference in this and in shirk and shadow as these first tried to discuss with him he said yeah but this isn't

this is a form of assistance and this and he said but have you not been teaching us all these a hadith he says weren't these from you about reviving the Sunnah about reviving what is pure tawheed and moving away from these be the art and moving away from stuff like this he says don't you just see this as a gateway to the flooding of what would just lead to what we've got in India of people doing all sorts around tombs and graves and this and that and they say that this that sharp disease he kind of embraced share Ahmed and any kissed him on his forehead and he said that you

know that truly that you have like absorbed the teachings of the Sunnah and that and that its fruits will manifest in the future that I see in you that great like a great promise for the for the Muslims of hint of Hindustan and shared this chef Ahmed he is the one who set about what would become a huge resistance movement to the tyrannical

colonial colonialization that was taking place chef it was share Ahmed who once again revived this freed this fight for freedom no chef Ahmed Brill Rosa I can't breathe chef Ahmed ignite fun Albert Lee he say that meant really same one yes sure what they do in India Pakistan they the term shine say either interchangeable so they call anybody who's a say it sha sha sup so I mean Sasha Amador share a Sega

damnit is the same one now he what he did is he wanted to trigger off this movement of resistance to this oppression by the by the Colonials at that time and he thought about it and then what could be a greater way to set this off to mark the birth of it the genesis rather than what could be a greater way than to break the taboo of not doing much they say that he

announced that this fatwa does not stand the Hajj is not an obligation that Hajj is an obligation upon the Muslims of Hindustan they say he wrote far and wide to the people within India that he announced and taught that we will not only is it an obligation that I will lead this this obligation that come and join me and he sent his his writings and his message as far as it could go within

Hindustan to the extent allahu akbar that he said that any that comes to us to fulfill this obligation and doesn't have the means he says i will take it upon myself to provide his means allah allah Aqaba if again infamously either jamaat nya Jerry Rama general this these were the legends of Hindustan that this he says that anybody who can't who you don't have the means if you're saying finances are a problem

I will finance your Hajj for me what more do you ask for now and they say he set off with him his close companions and they started off and first hundreds joined them and they continued to move through India they were going south and they were going to Calcutta and from Calcutta they would catch the the boat across now every place they stopped that they would spend they would set up camp they would stay at their villages at the cities at the towns or whether there were cities they would spend a short while they would teach people they would create students where they went

spread this teaching of we need to return to the Sun man we need to teach the books of some man they would actually teach the books of hadith where they were they would correct the the type of bedad that were taking place the hora fad that had spread the the absence of reliance or the void when it came to talk call upon Allah they would once again fill that void with your team cement people's art either when they reached Calcutta they say they were over seven and a half thousand people that

were with him going to Hajj and he came back successfully and from there he announced his Haraka his movement for resistance against what was the barbaric colonial powers at the time this movement where he says we would revive jihad with in the land of Hindustan to free us from what was these oppressive foreign powers and when he comes back to India his movement has such an impact he

becomes so I mean with him was Shah Mohammad Ismail at the Halloween obviously the grants and the son of Abdul Aziz and the grants honorably lada ha Louie they set about they write to people they gain they gain a sense of authority a sense of presence their movement starts to expand at the time the British were ruling significant parts of India and the central part places within parts of Kashmir and parts of Punjab heavily were ruled by Raja Ranjit Singh who I mean history kind of shows that he was

ruthless towards the Muslims and they say that say that mud or share Ahmed even have fun he that he took it upon himself to kind of liberate some of these lands and initially when he couldn't get the support he wanted in places like Calcutta in other places they say he went to what was what was at that point what would fall today as the Northwest Frontier of Pakistan that what they call generally like that a lock evade or baktun who are today in

Pakistan those that region at that time wasn't conquered by the British and it was a land that fell between Afghanistan and Hindustan and it heard good things about the people so he went there with with a Shah I smile sure Mohammed a smile what he does is he accompanies chef sure Ahmed or say damn it and they go with a huge following this movement you know some people had questioned how successful was this movement they go and set up in the Northwest Frontier and it

they you know that they are this is there's a kind of there was a certain you could say certain battles a certain type of they have they run in with Roger and Jeet Singh's forces to any people who had cast a doubt on the validity to the efficacy how effective was chef chef Ahmed he was that effective that within a short while Raja Ranjit Singh himself offers a truce to share Ahmed

now you wouldn't just be offering a truce if you were if some was meaningless to you he himself not just a truce he says I will give you a certain amount of land that falls by blue cheese fan and these that these parts and you can rule whatever you want the you can have that but just just just call it quits he actually sends a wolf a delegation to share Hamid amongst them several people this this he has in it his famous what he's his own son as well

I forgot his son's name he has somebody called Sher Singh in there here's another there's a famous person he sends us well one of his receives who actually converts to Islam because he's so he's so impressed with with the belief and the conviction that share Ahmed has that he finds it so Wow I'm a because they go there to discuss and they say look we'll give you this and we'll give you certain okay is it finances you want or you want this so you want and they say that he honors the delegation so like in so

respectfully they have a Muslim amongst them so they have actually a a Frenchman amongst them and a British an Englishman amongst them as well in that delegation that has come from Raja Ranjit Singh he honors them and takes care of them and like obviously gives them food and personally sees to they need but yet when they ask him to quit his his fight for freedom he says that look I think you've misunderstood he says that we're not here for money and we're not here risking this for that he says that this is about serving Allah that is that removing tyranny removing oppression that this is our belief he says

otherwise we don't have a problem you know we're not here like I don't have a problem with you and I'm personally serving them that this and the way he would serve people and this was reported about him that share about Hasan and Ned we writes about him expansively and he says that even he was that this was known about him the way he would do hitman of people even when during their struggle for for their fights and things like this the way he would personally see to people and he would make it a collective duty upon all that everybody has to do hit

man and that initially chef Al Hassan and Ned Lee writes that some people when they came to join his movement found this quite shocking that they they saw themselves above this I'm not I'm not gonna be washing somebody's clothes so I'm not gonna be doing this for people I mean you know okay I do my own but why are the people but that but this was what he had said they that we all serve each other so this was the type of influence that he has and and he does gain an incredible momentum where he was they he was even some of Roger and Jeet Singh had an attempt to have him

poisoned which was unsuccessful following which eventually there was a sense of betrayal where he was betrayed that what had happened was the areas he was in in the northwest some of the people there the tribal people had many customs which were very anti Islam like they would sell their daughters for marriage they would do things like a lot of them were to do with marital matrimonial ceremonies and and there were other things as well certain several be the art that were taking place where for example when a person died there was custom that took place in

where you place the Quran and everybody passes the Quran around particular circle and then they passed the money around and then they donate this money and then and there were certain people who were known as the they were the the the mustache are they were the people that who were like an authority in religion and they were just strict folk AHA who had learned a certain amount of Hanafy and that's all they knew and they kind of were that they would kind of frown upon this this thing of hadith they saw it as so oh so this culture was prevalent as well in this Northwest Frontier way sheriff Matt was so

he started to challenge some of these issues that were going on and started to say this isn't how the Sun that should be and they you know you should Sundays like this you can't sell your daughters you can't do things like this you can't kind of it can't be about having huge prices on daughters heads and it can't be about this and it can't be about that and you can't have these beat the odds anaconda what happened this disturbed they say a lot of people whether those people colluded with Roger and Jeet Singh's forces or not I suppose is is these theories and you know people have there's no conclusive evidence but what

happened was there was a particular day on which some of those people from that province area had a coordinated attack on the people of Sayyad Ahmed different places were coordinated simultaneously so one goes several attacks took place on far you know on different play at different you know localities and this killed several several hundred people that belong to you and huge and people that were influential that were part of

this this movement this liberation movement of say that this really damaged the morale of his of his people of his movement and they say that he was really taken aback by what had happened that he thought okay this isn't a safe place to be anymore and we need to leave this place that he set off to migrate to Kashmir they say he was on route to Kashmir and he was going to Moses Rabat or towards that part and it was at this point that way he got him on ease and his people his

supporters of this movement they they were setting migrating that they were setting off that they were ambushed by Raja Ranjit Singh's people the attack initially was by actual Muslims it was by the by the try to people of you know of that area of where he was but it was in different localities and vicinity it wasn't him it wasn't an attack in one place it was a coordinated attack that took place in several places at once with these people were well established and it was so devastating to them because they because they didn't expect it at all from the

Muslims you see so when it happened it shook them to that extent that they said we can't we're no longer safe here so we need to go to a new place where we can where we can set up and and it obviously realized it realized he had too many antagonist forces working dynamics against him so it's when he set off with his people to to Kashmir there on route he got ambushed by Raja Ranjit Singh's people his troops and he was martyred and as was you know Mohammed shy smile but it wasn't this movement didn't stop

thee there's and one of the sons of Rafi Oh Dean Adel OE one of you know the grants and another grandson of Shelly Allah came and avenged he kind of takes over and breathes life into this movement and this movement then also gains huge support from there was a family known as the early Shah family from from India I believe they may have been from Hyderabad but they they kind of they were already involved we'd say that before but with his death they become massively involved in fact

they had two there were two brothers sons of the household known as Anaya early and reliably career I'm the name [Laughter] in Italian wilayat Ali these two figures become a huge force for driving forward and they they also financed this whole liberation movement as well to the extent that they lead devastating blows to Roger and Jeet Singh and even quite successful on many accounts they take back huge amounts of

Kashmir they take back several regions from Raja Ranjit Singh and then obviously the British do get involved again and and and that goes on and that is that continues as a as a type of movement but coming back to the daily household that this whole thing is set in motion by who on the other hand you've got people like people like Mohammed is half who also teach like I said wind up influencing people like us and not via Russia that man can go 'hey who then influence many people like on

russia Kashmiri and whether it's gonna be I mean it's gonna be somewhat you know chef Cheryl hind' and whether it's going to be also a chef elite ennui and many other people who also can't contribute significantly to the science of hadith you know whether it's gonna be commentaries on cycle Bihari or whether it the likes of also in the shared risk and Alvie is influenced by these people who go on to set up the whole table key movement modernist area kundali is also massively influenced

here he is taught his commentary on science on the motto of imam muslim sorry on the mouth of imam malik al chisel masala k-- from india is unprecedented I mean obviously you've got centuries ago that the Muslims of especially the Maliki are know populated world had contributed huge commentaries but nobody in India had done something like that a huge movement is set up even if you're going to look at the likes of you know people that descent I mentioned already that come from Nazir Ahmed sorry from

Naseer Hussain people that I mean they call him Cheryl colorful cool that's how huge they say his knowledge was but he produces like I mentioned shomsul huh Colosimo buddy who has one of the most profound commentaries on abu dawood that is available in the muslim world ever even butler image hood is from India so you're seeing this whole this whole legacy of scholarship being created no obsolete has an Han I mean

somebody that goes on to write his own works and although he doesn't that that is more of the hadith movement but still they breathe huge life into reviving what was the Sun in India they don't these people they had diverse methodologies then you know it's not that so for example we you've got these people like Nawab Savi Hassan Khan and let's say if you've got at the time other people like Mohammed is half his students let's say from casa minha north we or other people it wasn't that these people saw eye to eye on everything but

it wasn't that they now had some type of hatred towards each other you know they for if he produced in da da la maja Gerald Mackay who is the teacher of rosamma can bring you've seen that these people they it's not necessary many of them including the al-hadith were heavily still immersed in elements of the soul wolf that other folk aha a llama amongst them may have rejected but they personally didn't so it's interesting it's not you see this

movement wasn't what later people kind of label this as some type of a Wahhabi movement and some type of a movement of people against the proc these were diverse people what the movement was there was a movement of saamne and reviving hadith and some led by diverse people some who stuck to him with her some who didn't stick to him at her some who are hardcore very trenched in the hand of I mean I would say many of the the like you know that share whole hand oh you're gonna say I'm Raja Kashmiri Oh ash of Pallett on we all all these

people were very customer not entrenched in Hanafi fit they go on to you know produce people like Yusuf Minori with his Mahalo for Sonam and these type of but the point is who obviously who you would say you would see these employed people I Muhammad Chevy and then coming down to our own day and age and all these motorists are around today all of these every single place people studying daughter talha D studying the books of hadith from cover to cover although in many places people may not have the full

spirit but in some places they do the source of all of this goes back to Charlie a lot the hallowee-- in the household of daily all of these movements these whether it came off and whether the work that was done in vehicle especially more important because fit was already they the work that was done in hadith the commentaries on almost every look at that amount of commentaries that were done on Bihari sahih bukhari I mean Chandra Shekar schmira has a commentary on sahih bukhari commentary on sahih muslim by

mostashari and of the toughy commentary on tirmidhi by mubarak poori commentary on abu dawood by Shamsul huckle Azim Abad commentary on you know even imagine well the notes bible has an a Sindhi the the point is that these works were being the commentary on the water by Chef Zakarian these are a massive contribution we we didn't even mention that from the the students of really people like Nazir Ahmed Hussein from their students you

get people who talk the likes of after hey Lucknow a huge once again and somebody that contributes massively to to not only hadith but critiques he has his commentaries work on the mapa but also to in more result he comments significantly he has his also his refer what tech mill where he raises invaluable points points that people highlight that were the works of people like share after hey alakina we are you know they indispensable people like

Abdul Fattah Buddha speaking about them they're hazel Cosi highlighting them all of thee this has been done in the land of Hindustan this was India this is where he had produced yet people kind of lost all of that and got caught in two ridiculous you know just factions and this type sectarianism forgetting about look that their roots were actually just one during the time of you know the movement that we spoke about of sale Ahmed and

and the successes that continued it and continue to kind of like spread and struggle for that freedom fight you see its during the time that the rise of people like you know Lama the only came about where he initially first of all sets about in his and this comes back to what we're talking about at the beginning of the Turks way he first of all sets about saying that oh he's the Maddie in the in the late 1890s and by 1901 he declares himself a Rasul and

Nabi debunking much of what was in the Sunna saying that we don't need to follow the hadith since I'm a new legislature I don't I overdid this the concept of that ruling of this or whether it was jihad or whether it was other things or elements of the cat or whatever he kind of ruled in you can see that this threat once again pushes its head his fitna attempts to emerge once again echoed again in India decades later a few decades later boy by purvis trying to say that we don't need not of

nabuwa but saying we don't need hadith or or we doubt its authenticity that it's fine to go ahead with the Quran so you see that the ulema of India rising to this challenge the work and the commitment that they did in the preservation of hadith for it to reach us today to the extent that people have said when you look at their efforts that all of that that was done I mean I didn't even go into mentioning how that triggered off you know share siharan Puri and how it triggered off many others who contributed their works and what led to Ned were two alone one of a significant Institute of learning today recognized worldwide obviously key

people like Al Hasan and Ned we who were given international awards by Muslims for for the contribution for what they for their perception and analysis I mean his book mother huh Cyril Allen being a total Muslim mean what has the world lost with the with the with the downfall of the Muslims had I mean it was given international awards by several Muslim bodies that's how renowned his stuff was he was invited to speak as a thinker as an analyst it continues today net worth all along to produce people who are experts

in language experts in hadith studies even till today all of this going back finding its traces its roots going back to that one man surely Allah to Allah we all of our chains in hadith today I would change my chain I'm happy it goes through share with you a lot the hell we all of the chains today in India in India on door packed it in today in Pakistan as well what led to the formation of Pakistan itself you know with the with the with the foresight by people like allama iqbal and these people was the efforts by several people like syed ahmed and and the movements

that they had led which was which finds its roots with sharon how much happened and what changed the entire face the face of India as we know it goes back to that one decision of shyamalan Lada hello we're returning to India so there is a huge huge legacy

okay and shall I can I can go I'd love to get it so I mean this this is what I want to really just highlight that well this that we especially and why this is important for us is that we most of the Muslims here today are of that heritage I mean in essence rule from hint Hindustan as it was then now this was in a land in the last when when most of the Muslim world kind of went quiet when it came to the work of Sun man hadn't this was a land that once again rose at that time revived the works of people like

rbms alia right that these type of the first one of the first person people to author in hadith substantially had where he dies becomes a land way in the last centuries of Islam begins to author substantially in this science today unfortunately some of us we've become so distracted by oh the you know the the type of sectarianism of whether it's going to be retirement and bravery and the do Bundy's and listen and this is really in itself just nonsense all of

them their roots go back to people like Muhammad is Haq a de lui who who teaches all of them share common teaches in essence in legacy whether it's you know chef aimed at hola Mohalla McKee or whether it's his teacher Muhammad is half at the hello II whether it's his teacher Abdul Aziz at the Halloween whether it's his teacher Charlie Allah and one thing that you learned them I

mean if you're saying all these see these movements were separate but they weren't never like they didn't see each other as like adversaries like then some people may have gone into this other people have gone into that but what it awoke in people was a concern to do something for the Ummah of Hindustan at the time now this was this deep-rooted concern is what was triggered by the household of Dilli now it's not about that they were different like Nazir Naseer Hussain shed Naseer Hussain wasn't you know like he didn't obviously he was like the founding father of the al-hadith movement in India but he

didn't have this issue with let's say people who were Hanafy and the shook of his time like the way it is today he had many people who were very near and dear to him that were Hanafi just his own teachers would be Hanafi just as some of his students were Hanafy just as some of the Hanafi he took from people who were maybe not so Hanafy and and they gave to people like that as well so the difference is worthy the intensity of the hatred didn't exist the hatred really I mean what we see

today and honest and I'm listing it I mean the key split between the whether it's going to be the deal Bundy or the brave VL or what is today the al-hadith in in the indo-pak these three key differences trace their roots back to the same people that taught them and the differences did exist then or some differences okay later differences emerge again but some difference is the seeds of their differences with it it wasn't that like a key example was like say dammit disagreeing with the Sheikh Abdul Aziz about the saguaro share and saying that I to me this seems like sherek yet he

Shiksha Abdulaziz is the one that is doing it but he's not you see they disagreeing they discussing whether Sheriff Abdul Aziz continued to do it Allah alum but many people probably did but the point is that it's an it wasn't about he didn't say you know say that matters at all I think you're a mushrik and I'm boycotting this and I'm going like this and I don't want anything to do with you guys because oh when he when he thought about why have people abandon Hajj and I'm disagreeing with this but why I didn't think all of you guys are martyred for disagreeing with this or your fasting so you're ballin mondale

for you know the debunking Hajj for theater Hajj he wrote in defense of a encouraged lectured core people to outside and then said you know what I'll take it upon myself to finance you and help you the point is how you go about indifferent now what's happened unfortunately in the last century has really severed and split the divergence so far and wide that people today it's become an Iman and Adam uncover issue that you're Muslim or you're not Muslim subhana life imagine if chef Mohammed is hard core Abdul Aziz at the hello e or

sha will allow us to hear that I mean I don't think it'd be besides himself in disbelief he wouldn't accept that no way that this that they would amongst themselves it would become an issue of Eman and Co fall so this is why I highlighted in saying that look that India has produced huge efforts and in the hope that it can be an encouragement for us to think yeah why don't we carry on why don't we take an interest in hadith in sunlight today because really what defines Allison is our association

with the science of Sun so I mean really that was what I wanted to really share with us today it was a bit I mean the whole purpose of these studies is that they are isolated in themselves it's not necessarily a particular text we're going through different aspects of hadith um one of the things we take a look at his evolution and the impact it's had one thing we could see is that look up until the tenth century there's a huge effort that takes place and it crystallizes after the 10th century till our age it almost becomes quite I mean

regressive isn't the word but it becomes quite dormant but one thing we start to see is from the 10th century onwards we start to see a practical side of emerging in the Indian subcontinent that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world from the 900s onwards with the people we saw for Samedi nomadically onwards his student buttony and we see a chef Mahad days after hawk at the Halloween giving and the father of abdul rahim at the Halloween and his son shah will allow really at his hand this whole thing you see what he sets in motion in a butterfly effect is a tsunami that

would change the entire face of india as they knew it and in my understanding Allahu Alem that that dream that we he returns light to the places that had been engulfed and enveloped by darkness and qu4 in my understanding was the connection with the Sun and the hadith again because everywhere throughout Hindustan today and throughout and I'm saying that broadly speaking covering Pakistan as well that we have wherever you have the chain of the hadith of the Prophet Elias Onam it goes through chef

surely Allah so in Charlotte if I go get it yes that right all right she was not mr. Luckman rahim alright so speaking about his math and speaking about the the the fruitful and highly beneficial work of the right amount of the hint the scholars of hadith with regards to the Sunna and the hadith of the messenger of allah

salallahu alayhi wasalam in light of that I'd like to go through my own a JSON it's not my own it's not to share that with you guys this goes through the great household of daily as you will see surely Allah the legend who we just spoke about and his legacy that he left behind which still is with us and in fact permeates through the entire sub Indian subcontinent today but you will not find any Sunnah of the messenger of allah so allah Salim that is being taught and documented except it goes

through a chain going through share with you Allah at that so let's this one I'm just going to share one it's not obviously as it gets further or the names depending on the book will always vary because they may go through different people the pivotal point is share with you a lot that will be in one of the chains now this particular one is for some help of body since we spoke a bit about it in one of the lessons so this one I had been given ages it does mention that I cut the share speaking

here with chef after Hameed whoever hadith in Germany be Nuria and that was he was one of the teachers of sahebzadi now although many of them gave us each other in all the books but he's just one person that I'm reading from so it says cut Amalia sahih bukhari hadith on with the focus they completed with me Saheb Holly a completion with understanding well thick but Oliver minion oh geez I just sister he asked me so from me that I give him each other so I did and you had this that he may teach hadith why you

jeez were rewired to a new day and I can teach from the rewire from him in my hello Ravi a year cutting method we shot a remarkable in the hadith a well as with any wherever he may go foreign white with the conditions that the element of hadith that have later right now he says what are we he saw healed Bihari and he shares and move Diwali Hassan a donkey so chef Wadi Hassan was amazing scholar to happy in in Pakistan of this one somebody that himself is

from pre partition but I mean from that generation really and he passes away in I I believe it's in Karachi he passes away as well but he was a somebody that one of our teachers should have to not hazard me spoke amazingly about I mean he was in all of this person and it's interesting actually when you spoke about him because he said that he was somebody that he says in his lifetime he says I saw people would flock to him and be around him and they would always you know he says that he says when he would leave his class he would be surrounded

by a whirlpool of students and of people admirers and so on and and he says that in his later stage of his life hardships befell him and he says and at that time I never saw anybody around him he says right up until these who passes away and he says that a lot like they says he passed away in in a bit of a destitute situation and in one of the hospitals that wasn't really catered for news and it was just interesting when he kind of reminisced about him but he said he was such an amazing person that if he wanted he said he could have hoarded so much wealth and so much but he never chose that path but from him

the ijazah is he says took this from Hussein Ahmed medley somebody very popular from from India once again has huge contributions and some interesting works on coexistence within multi-faith societies as well use this book is cool but anyway who takes his a Joseph from Cheryl hint mahmoud al hassan at the bundy who shepherd him my mother hassan was somebody who they used to call him chef a lot of awajum

somebody who once again led a key role in the fight for freedom against the colonial powers and was actually imprisoned as well and said I believe exiled as well for a while and then brought back or allowed to come back who took his a Joseph from he says a Sharon from the to Rasheeda American GUI and Marana Mohammad Ahsan motley both of who take the each other from Abdel honey and Ahmed is hard on Bowie so from both of these and Ahmed Ali Sahara Puri as well

a key person who devoted himself to the science of hadith and some killer who man both of them take from chef Muhammad is half a deli and when we spoke about Muhammad this hub at the lui and how he produced all these huge and amazing people from all schools really and that whether that was going to be the likes of in that logic monkey or it was going to be people like Naseer Hussain Sheffield cool or it was going to be like the likes that go on to produce rashid ahmed khan GUI and

fast move north we and also on the other side people that would produce the likes of rahman so you can see all of these already coming back through to minus half of that Louis who takes from chef Jacques Issa Delhi who is the major powerhouse really a huge powerhouse produce amazing people obviously like his own nephew here Mohammed is hot but also many other people like chef sang it Ahmed that we spoke about a gravy and several others

as well right so who takes from his father Sheldon he loved a Louie the Moe hot death of India really the legend and the pivotal point who says Allah Akbar I'm a chef about the head mohamed ibrahim al Kurdi his teacher a part of maddening this is who he's referring to who takes this each other from and he says who was took from his father Shea Brahim Alcor t he says dr.

Anna Scher Ahmed the Cassiar she who says he took from Ahmed even after con tus who took from Josefina Romilly famous sham sadena Ramallah chef I thought they would cook from Zenith Dean Zachary I am sorry we covered when we were looking at the evolution of masala how it developed and the commentary that shares a fairyland sorry I've done who took from all of Caracalla Cheryl habits you have the team modulus a learning obviously somebody who's indispensable radius works when it comes to us all hadith and

its development who took from Ibrahim Ahmed a tanuki who took from chef I worked after ovale Al Holloway who took from chef Abu Hassan after man at the hoodie from Abu Muhammad Abdullah Ciroc see and I'm trying to not read out the whole day they give sometimes a long lineage for the name but I'm just trying to make it pertinent from our active level - from our

Abdullah Mohammed me Yousef everybody this is one of the key transmitters February is from from Al Rahman Bihari and somebody whose transmission of the sahi went far and wide and I'd like to do something on the transmissions of Bihari inshallah in one of the commenter's okay speaking about although many people took the sahi but who were the key transmitters they're only a handful and out of them who took it in what direction and where it became quite popular so who transmits here we and

Abdullah Mohammed ignites my elbow got it right jerilyn al-ajami I mean alone so I mean this is an example and we do why we want to associate ourselves with this this there's a rewire in the margin of pomeranian also and in the son of the army with cross the ransom says Allah Allah 30 and they say who are you full

of thought he says Allah bless my have mercy on my five students or my deputies [Music] owner a hadith e way those who come after me transmit my hadith and teach them to people have missing and it's not the chain is the Salafi movement is the weapon and if you don't have these net in essence you don't have a team and it's

what Don's like I believe valiant again another's as well had said that part of the things that this hallmark that this woman specifically has been singled out with as a blessing goes on to mention a few things amongst them he says it's not it's one of the things that whole eyes great bless this all my weight on its own and that is absolutely true if you look objectively there are non civilizations that have a concept of is nad and the

preservation of it in the method that we do today so it's it's unparalleled in any other size
