MUST WATCH: What is Fracturing The Muslim Ummah || Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan #AMAR

Sign up to AMAR Academy today: www.rahmaniyyah.comThe Muslims once built the greatest libraries in the world. Today, our manuscripts sit in cities like Berlin and Princeton, catalogued by orientalists who've spent years learning our language while we scroll past our own history. In this lecture, Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan walks through how the salaf approached books, why Yusuf ibn Tashfin crossed the sea at ninety years old to rescue Andalus, and why one Muslim ruler was humiliated into receiving letters from his enemy dictating the terms of his own defeat.The argument is simple and uncomfortable: if you don't read, your understanding of history will be whatever someone else decided to teach you such as Henry VIII and his wives, the Romans, the Tudors. Everything about who you are as a Muslim, what your civilisation built, and the ideological war being waged on your ummah right now, sits in books that are collecting dust. This lecture is a call to pick them up.Timestamps00:00:00 Precap01:50 Introduction: The Importance of Reading02:46 Why Allah Swore by the Pen03:30 The Two Types of Bayan (Ibn al-Qayyim)04:00 How the Salaf Treated Their Books04:30 Ibn al-Mubarak: "I'm Sitting With the Companions"05:57 Al-Zuhri's Wife: "Worse Than Three Co-Wives"07:14 Reading Through Illness08:30 Al-Hasan al-Lu'lu'i: 40 Years With a Book on His Chest09:38 Even the Call of Nature Didn't Stop Them10:32 A Flight From Egypt Showed Me the Problem11:15 The Orientalists Are Reading Our Books11:52 Who Published Our Manuscripts?12:25 4 Books Every Muslim Must Read by Mahmud Shakir, Ibn Ashur, Qabawa & Shakib Arslan17:10 "He Would Not Put a Book on His Shelf Except That He Read It"17:52 How to Read a Book Properly: 3 Techniques20:39 One Foundational Book Per Science20:53 Aqeedah → Sharh Ibn Abi al-Izz al-Hanafi of Aqeedah al-Tahawiyyah22:44 Tawheed → Fath al-Majeed23:33 Nahw → Sharh Ibn Aqil of Alfiyah Ibn Malik25:02 Mustalah al-Hadith: 2 Books29:17 The Cost of Not Reading33:16 Why We Read as Muslims35:50 Some Books Must Be Read on Repeat37:23 ChatGPT vs the Dictionary39:02 Where to Start in Arabic Studies: Al-Misbah al-Munir40:01 Reading as a Refuge From Falsehood41:48 The Fall of Andalus45:47 Read Your History, or Learn Someone Else'sAMAR Academy: / www.rahmaniyyah.comInstagram: / www.instagram.com/abdulrahmanhassanofficial25Patreon: / www.patreon.com/cw/AMARofficial Telegram: / t.me/+c87I9vy6kqkxOWZkYouTube: / youtube.com/@rahmaniyyahofficialWhatsApp: / www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBlpi2CHDyjG4ZI1I0gX (formerly Twitter): / x.com/UstAbdulrahmanNon-Official Podcast.#abdulrahmanhassan #AlMadrasatuArRahmaniyyah #AMAR
