Transcript

00:00We should not surrender our minds to whatever we read.

00:09And anything on Facebook

00:11And anything on social media

00:14We need to use our minds

00:16This is an obligation upon us

00:17Operating the mind and thinking is a duty

00:20Like prayer, fasting and Hajj

00:23Like prayer, fasting and Hajj, this is an obligation.

00:25There is even a book by Al-Aqqad

00:30May God rest his soul

00:30Thinking is an Islamic duty

00:33This book came to my mind yesterday

00:37I downloaded it on the internet and found it in PDF.

00:40I downloaded it, so look at the beauty of Al-Aqqad

00:45What does he say on page 4?

00:46The obligation to reflect on the Holy Quran

00:49The human mind includes all of these functions.

00:54With all its characteristics and connotations

00:57It addresses the rational mind.

01:00The perceptive mind, the wise mind, and the rational mind

01:03The mind does not mention a brief presentation

01:08Rather, he mentions it

01:09The Quran

01:11The mind does not mention a brief presentation

01:13Rather, he mentions it in detail.

01:17Unparalleled in any book of religions

01:20He mentioned the rest of the examples, meaning that the Qur’an is full of Qur’anic verses.

01:25I mean, if I sit and read the examples and verses of the Quran

01:28It takes at least an hour.

01:29But read one or two verses, no more.

01:32I mean, one or three at most

01:33For example, Surat Al-Baqarah

01:35Verse 164

01:37And He spread therein every kind of creature and directed the winds and the clouds controlled between the sky and the earth.

01:45Verses for a people who understand

01:47Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 80

01:48It is He who gives life and causes death, and to Him belongs the alternation of the night and the river.

01:52Do you not understand?

01:54Surah Ar-Rum, verse 28 ends

01:57Thus do We detail the verses for a people who understand.

02:02The verses here are miracles and the universe

02:05All of God's creatures and God's beings

02:08All these are signs of God for a people who understand.

02:11For people to use their minds

02:14Surah Al-Ankabut, verse 43

02:16And these are examples that We set forth for the people.

02:18Only the scholars understand it.

02:21Only the scholars understand it.

02:24It means knowledge and reason

02:27Science and reason

02:28On page

02:30This is on the page

02:324 and 5

02:33On page 23

02:35He talks about logic

02:38See what Al-Aqqad says in Chapter 3

02:40Titled Logic

02:42Page 23

02:44Logic is a science that combines principles and rules.

02:49Which helps in correcting vision and discrimination

02:52And the ruling of Islam on it is like this

02:55It is clear and there is no disagreement about it

02:58Because the Holy Quran is explicit in demanding that man consider and distinguish.

03:04And hold him accountable for disabling his mind and misleading his thinking.

03:09Kevin is this giant writer

03:13Dr. Zaki Nagir Mahmoud used to call him the giant

03:16Disabling the mind is a crime.

03:20This is a sin

03:21Disabling the mind is a sin

03:24Because thinking is an obligation upon us

03:26duty

03:27On another page on page 90

03:29And the writer remained, meaning there are chapters, for example, on philosophy.

03:33A chapter on philosophy

03:34A chapter on science

03:37On page 90 he says what?

03:40Thinking about Islam is not a substitute for the text or something similar to the text in the rulings.

03:47Rather, it is a prescribed obligation.

03:51Wanted for its own sake

03:53And because understanding other obligations depends on it

03:58I mean, it is an obligation alone, so you have to think about it

04:00It is not useful in half there is no half even with half you must use your mind

04:05All of which are forbidden for a Muslim to neglect.

04:09He is able to cover his costs.

04:11Not having to leave it

04:14Countries of real thinkers

04:16We read to the needy countries

04:18The mind is a blessing that God has bestowed upon man.

04:22Thinking is a duty for every human being

04:25Thinking really like he says

04:27Thinking is an Islamic duty

04:29In a hadith he said

04:31One jurist says

04:33More severe on Satan than a thousand worshippers

04:35I discovered this hadith

04:38I found many people saying that it is a weak hadith.

04:41But frankly speaking, the hadith is weak.

04:44Don't be weak

04:45Its meaning is correct

04:47Its meaning is correct

04:49actually

04:50One jurist is more difficult for Satan than a thousand worshippers.

04:54Because the devil can send his helpers to a thousand worshippers.

05:01And they guide them one by one

05:04Only one jurist can save an entire nation.

05:08Therefore, the one jurist actually means the correct one.

05:11Weak, this is not weak

05:13This will not affect our worship in any way.

05:17I mean I won't pray

05:18Dhuhr is three rak'ahs. If this hadith is weak

05:22It won't affect me in any way

05:24But its meaning is correct

05:25It actually means that we use our minds.

05:29And the single jurist who specializes in religion

05:32He must use his mind.

05:33It doesn't mean he's just a follower

05:37He doesn't care about anything

05:39Especially since there are always new developments in life

05:43Islam is a flexible religion

05:45That's why it lasted all this time

05:48I think back to when we were still in school

05:54There was a book called The Disciple's Weapon.

05:57Student's weapon

05:59This student's weapon was helping us.

06:04Continue with the lessons and so on.

06:09He is in the sight of the student's weapon

06:10I mean, I remembered this name.

06:13I really felt that the mind is really like a soldier

06:17The human mind is like a soldier standing guard at the borders of his country.

06:24The human mind is a soldier

06:27Knowledge is to the mind what weapons are to the soldier.

06:32Thinking for the mind is like the training that a soldier does.

06:37This means that the soldier has a weapon and is beaten daily for this weapon and its use.

06:42He will be able to protect his country's borders.

06:44But the soldier who does not have a weapon and is not with him is beaten daily

06:49What can he pay for? The mind is the same story.

06:52The weapon of the mind is knowledge

06:54The exercises he does daily are thinking.

06:58Therefore, the educated person who has knowledge and thinks daily

07:04And he thinks like this

07:05This is something he does every day.

07:09It is not easy to fall prey to any ideas or ideologies.

07:17It might affect him.

07:19It is not easy because he has a strong cognitive and cultural foundation.

07:24He has a mind that is able to think and knows what is right and what is wrong.

07:28The body does not need immunity

07:33The mind also needs immunity

07:35The immunity of the mind is knowledge and thinking

07:38Science and thinking

07:40God has honored man with reason and knowledge.

07:45And when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I am going to place a successive authority on earth.”

07:50They said, "Will You place therein one who will cause corruption therein and shed blood?"

07:56We praise you and sanctify you

07:59It is clear that the angels witnessed a previous experience.

08:03She saw the extent of the atrophy that had occurred on Earth and elsewhere.

08:09Then you will place therein someone who will cause corruption therein and shed blood?

08:14We glorify You and sanctify You. He said, “Indeed, I know that which you do not know.”

08:20Then he said, "Stay, and He taught Adam the names - all of them."

08:23knowledge

08:25God has given us knowledge

08:27This is what distinguishes us from other creatures.

08:31And He taught Adam the names - all of them.

08:34Knowledge is the thing that God has distinguished us with from the rest of the creatures.

08:41The mind of science and reason

08:43With reason we will reach knowledge

08:46Unfortunately, sometimes it means coordinating with animals.

08:53When we take animals as a symbol of stupidity

08:59In coordination with animals

09:02So we take the donkey as a symbol of stupidity

09:05Cows as a symbol of stupidity

09:07Although God has given animals a small amount of reason

09:13But these animals use their brains.

09:17Surprisingly, these animals sometimes use their minds better than many humans.

09:25God is better than many people

09:29If animals use their minds

09:32I mean, isn't it better for us to use our minds?

09:36To think, analyze, and see that there is no contradiction between religion and philosophy, and between religion and logic.

09:42As long as these humanities will help us think better

09:48No conflict

09:50See you, God willing, in another episode

09:54May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you

09:56Think of your duty as you think of your right

10:01Work to achieve perfection

10:04Not seeking fame or reward

10:07Do not expect more from people than they have the right to expect from you.
