Recorded live at the Cardiff Conference 2016
The speaker started by asking attendees to read the matn (text) by heart. On day 1, the first 4 lines were covered. On day 2 we covered the next 6.5 lines. Today we cover the remaining parts of the poem
Some points of benefit from today’s lesson:
- Numerous attendees memorised the full poem and recited it (not recorded)
- What is our belief regarding the pool on the Day of Judgment?
- The Siraad (bridge) on the day of Judgment
- How is the speed that one crosses it determined?
- What is the ultimate success?
- What will you be asked in the grave?
- One of the benefits of studying aqeedah: it helps you to do more good deeds
- One of the signs of the people of innovation: They attack the scholars of the Sunnah
- What is the significance of the last two lines?
We completed the full poem. Alhamdulilah.
The lines of the poem that we covered today:
- And I affirm the Scales and the Pool which
- I hope to be (amongst those) whose thirst will be quenched (by it)
- And likewise (I affirm) the Bridge extended over Hellfire (over which all will pass)
- So (either) one made safe (and) delivered (or) another forsaken (who will fall)
- And the wretched one will be burned in the Fire by Divine wisdom
- And likewise (by Divine wisdom) the pious one will enter Gardens
- And every mentally-sound living person will have in his grave
- His deeds to accompany him and for which he will be questioned
- This is the creed of al-Shaafi'ee and Maalik
- And Abu Haneefah and then Ahmad which has been This is the creed of al-Shaafi'ee and Maalik transmitted
