Knowledge Should be Humbling! - Hasan as-Somali

Here is a benefit that we all need to take note of.  Knowledge is not sought to become famous or to compete with scholars or the common people. It (knowledge) is sought first and foremost to remove ignorance from oneself.  Why?  To worship Allah and give Him the rights that He should be given. 

To do this correctly, you have to know Him and understand what those rights are.  If he blesses you with that knowledge and understanding, then you need to realise that this understanding was due to the fact that He chose to bless you with it.  

In return you humble yourself before Him, acknowledging this fact by showing him your gratitude by worshipping Him how He should be worshipped.

Here is a beautiful benefit extracted from the lecture titled: The Boy, The King and The Sorcerer by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).

Here is that benefit, which has been digitally edited before being posted below, walhamdulillah.

Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

The Reality of Death & Preparing For It - Abu Hafsah Kashiff Khan

This is a lecture by Abu Hafsah Kashiff Khan (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) which was delivered on the 20th of December 2014 and was posted on the Learn About Islam SoundCloud account. At that time no editing was done to the audio file and it was released as it was recorded.   This time around it has been through the cleanup process and the overall recording level has been increased.

This is one of those lectures that is considered a real eye-opener.  It helps to put things into their real perspective.

Listen, reflect and rectify your affairs, you may have very little time remaining to do so.

This is a book that Shaykh Abdur-Razaaq ibn Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin al-Abaad al-Badr (hafidhahumullah Ta'ala) taught this book at the end of the academic year in Masjid an-Nabawee after Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin (hafidhahullah Ta'ala)  finished his classes of teaching The Book of Salah from Saheeh al-Bukhaaree for the second time, having previously finished Saheeh al-Bukhaaree 26 years earlier, his son took over the seat of his father over the summer break and chose this book of Shaykh Abdur-Rahman ibn Naasir as-Sa'di (rahimahullah Ta'ala) and taught this book over a 3 day period written in the form of a poem.

Their Speaking Against the Rulers is Just a Smokescreen - Hasan as-Somali

Here is just a short clip by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) where he sheds some light on those that speak against the rulers and the reality that is behind the smokescreen that they create to hide the deceptive tactics they employ in their vile speech.
