00:00Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:03Pearls of Wisdom by Ibn Taymiyyah
00:05If I remain silent and you remain silent, then who will teach the ignorant?
00:12Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have mercy upon him, was born in Huron, an
00:17old city within the Arabian Peninsula between Syria and Iraq, on the 10th or the 12th of
00:23the month of Rabi' al-Awwal, the year 661 Hijri.
00:28He and his family were later forced to flee to Damascus due to the occupation by the
00:33Tatars.
00:34He came from a family of scholars.
00:36At an early age, he amazed his teachers at the strength of his memory, keen intelligence,
00:41and depth of understanding.
00:43Ibn Taymiyyah was one of the greatest scholars in which his knowledge still lives on to this
00:48day.
00:48The Umavoy's podcast presents our audience a segment of his quotes during the month of Ramadan.
00:53One famous quote of Ibn Taymiyyah is,
00:56If I remain silent and you remain silent, then who will teach the ignorant?
01:02Ignorance is treacherous to society.
01:05Ignorance is what allows people to be taken advantage of, at times oppressed, and remain
01:11shackled to ongoing detrimental situations.
01:15There is a duty to teach the people in society to widen their eyes, guide the people to beneficial
01:21knowledge and wisdom.
01:23One should remain silent because remaining silent will not change the ignorant.
01:28One needs to awaken the people of current realities, knowledge, the state of our Ummah, and the solution
01:36to the Ummah's mercy, an ongoing onslaught.
01:40We must not forget, enjoining good and forbidding evil, which is a command by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
01:48There needs to be among the people ones who will not remain silent, but to teach the people
01:54people to get out of their comfort zones and not remain idle.
01:58We must not remain ignorant, but open our eyes to our reality and learn the Quran and Sunnah.
02:06We, as an Ummah, should not be shackled to our comfort zone.
