In these very testing times when there is a lot of misguidance around, it is more important than ever that we return our affairs back to the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah with the intent of seeking guidance from them and thus saving ourselves and our families from misguidance and destruction.
Here is an extremely important lecture on an extremely important subject matter delivered by Abu Idrees Muhammad (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) during the Manchester Summer Conference 2019 on the 23rd of June.
He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) begins with establishing the reasons and the evidence for adhering to the scholars of Ahlus- Sunnah. Using verses from the Qur’an and Hadiths from the Sunnah he shows that it is from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. He also gives examples from the companions. He also gives examples from our scholars of today.
Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullah Ta'ala) said: “When fitnah comes, the scholars know about it. When it leaves, every ignorant person becomes aware.”.
“The death of 1 scholar is more beloved to Iblees than the death of 70 devout worshippers."
Hamdood al-Qisaar (rahimahullah Ta'ala) was asked. “Why is the speech of the Salaf more beneficial than our speech?” He replied: “Because they spoke to bring honour to Islam and bring honour to the Most Merciful. As for us, we only speak to bring honour to ourselves, seeking the Dunya and to please the people."
Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah Ta'ala) said: “Sincerity and love for praise do not come together in one heart, just like water doesn’t come together with fire”.
He also covers the manners one should have with knowledge and the scholars.
Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullah Ta'ala) said: “Know that Ahlus-Sunnah were few in number before you, and they will be few in number in the future. They are the people that when the wretched ones cause confusion, they do not follow them. Nor do they sway with the people of innovation. But they remain patient upon their Sunnah (the way of the Salaf) until they meet their Lord in that state. So likewise, you be the same, in shaa Allah”
As usual, a little digital remastering has taken place to remove excessive background noise and improve the overall sound quality of this audio file, walhamdullillah.
I can't emphasise enough, the importance of taking time out to listen to this lecture fully.

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]
