فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين والعاقبة للمتقين ولا عدوان إلا على الظالمين وأصلي وأسلم على من أرسله الله رحمة للعالمين سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آله محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آله إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آله محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آله إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد لقد قمت بعمل كل شيء في مكانه فالفرادة سيذهب إلى... فالفرادة سيذهب إلى بعد الله تعالى بعد الله إلى الحافظ للأسكولر الحافظ أبي الحسن ابن قطان الفاسي فالفرادة سيذهب إلىه رحمه الله تعالى ما الله قمت بعمله في كتابه القيب في جميله الفريد it's unique virtuous great book اللذي أطلع علي الله عليه وإتبارك وتعالى allowed me to see this book of his وأنا أهيئ when I was preparing مقدمة هذه الطبعة الجديدة الشغل باني said when I was preparing the new introduction for this book أنا وهو النظر في حكام النظر and the book is ولكن الشيخ لم يقوم بشكل جميل ، بشكل جميل هو ماذا؟ إنه يقول إحكام النظر في أحكام النظر بحاسة البصر هذا ما يقوم بشكل جميل لذا الشيخ رحم الله يقول أنه يذهب إلى أين؟ هل يذهب إلى أين؟ يذهب إلى إمام الإمام الحافظ أبو قطان الفاسي رحم الله و this is exactly what the people of knowledge are like they give credit to who it's due to الله سبحانه وتعالى what did he say about the believers الذين يقولون ربنا غفلنا the believers are the ones who say الله forgive us و لإخوانين الذين سبقون بالإمان و الله سبحانه وتعالى bless who? the believers who have preceded us in what? what have they preceded us? in an iman they remember their virtue and the good that they have put forward عبد حمان ناصر السعدي و دريسي جزاهم المولى عظيمة الأجري والعفوة معه و الفرانيه والبري جزاهم المولى و لمام الشاطبي و دريسي و دريسي جزا الله عنه أئمة لنا نقل القرآن عذبا و سلسلة جزا الله ما الله سبحانه وتعالى bestow his mercy upon who? جزا الله ما الله بماسي and also reward greatly who are imma scholars who have what? نقل القرآن they transmitted to us قرآن عذبا و سلسلة عذ means what? when something is at its natural form untampered with not played with they've sent they've brought it to us عذبا و سلسلة with its chains and they've brought us to quran as the prophet ready as it came from his mouth they gave it to us شقا للماني رحمه الله is from those scholars who admit the virtue and this it gets rid of the phiria the phiria which is what? the phiria means the false accusation that sheikh al bani doesn't give any credit to other scholars that he discriminates other scholars he disrespects other scholars and then this is كذب و الفتراع على الشيخ it's a lie upon the sheikh and that sheikh ناصر رحمه الله is one of the great scholars who was known for what? what was he known for? he was known for respecting احترام العلماء who is al iman الحافظ أبل حسن ابن قطان الفاسي رحم الله هل سنذهب إلى أفا دعنا نتحدث عن الفرصة هذا الفرصة التي قمت بها ما هو هذا الفرصة؟ شقا للماني رحمه و كما نعرف و سوف نكون في هذا الفرص إذا كما نتحدث عن الفرصة أو كما نتحدث عن الإيمان ما سنفعل؟ سوف نعطيه صحيح ولكن إذا كمباني إذا كمباني فكما سوف تصدر بلن لأنه لأن الصحابات يجب أن يكون معنا كمبانينا يجب أن يكون معنا يجب أن يكون معنا ابن قطان الفاسي و على حسب علمي يجب أن يكون إلى my limited restricted knowledge لا أعرف أي شخص who preceded him في أصدره في أصدره ماذا يجب أن يصدر؟ يجب أن يكون يجب أن أقول أنه أول سكولا يجب أن يكون إلى my knowledge إذا كمبانينا يجب أن يجب أن يكون إلى أصدره في أصدره فإنه يجب أن يكون إلى my attention أول شخص who I personally know with my limited knowledge كانت أول شخص who came and wrote a book on the rules pertaining to what the eyes because he didn't just look specifically with the eyes he called it أحكام النظر يكون إحكام النظر في أحكام النظر بحاسة البصر that's what he called it that's what he called إحكام النظر في أحكام النظر بحاسة البصر so he's talking about the what it's talking about the eyes and what you see it with and as you know my beloved brothers and sisters the eyes in the religion it has been given many أحكام many rules revolve around the eyes a person can be from the people of جنة the people of prosperity the people of nobility the people of righteousness just based on the eyesight and what they look at إذن الله سبحانه وتعالى إن في خلق السماوات والأرض واختلاف الليل والنهار لآيات لأولي الألباب الذين يذكرون الله قياما وقعود وعلى جنوبهم ويتفكرون في خلق السماوات والأرض ربنا ما خلقت هذا باطلة سبحانك فقنا عذاب النعر الله says إن في خلق السماوات the creating of the samawat the creating of the what of the our واختلاف الليل والنهار واختلاف الليل والنهار and the exchange of the day to the night الله says إن it is what آيات Who is it آيات إن فولاكين لأولي الألباب the smart people the intellectual people الذين يذكرون الله قياماً they remember what? they remember Allah when do they remember him?  أفلم ينبرو did they not look at him? أفلم ينبرو have they not looked at meaning this another is with their eyes but it means another with تأملي والتدبري it's a type of what? in which the person looks but they're looking with pondering and they're analyzing and they are observing it properly أفلم ينبرو إلى السماء have they not looked at the Sama'a كيف بلناها وزيناها وما لها من فروج have they not looked at أفلم ينبرو إلى السماء did they not look at the Sama'a did they not look at it فوقهم أبوهم have they not looked at it كيف بلناها the way we constructed it and the way we built it وزيناها and the way we beautified the Sama'a وما لها and the Sama'a does not have فروج فروج means it doesn't have splits and there's no cracks in it it's smooth and it's nicely spread it out اللهم look at the masses after that والأرض مددناها وعلقينا فيها رواسية وعمبتنا فيها من كل زوج البهيد تضصيرة وذكرى في كل عبد منيب اللهم look at the earth and the earth مددناها we grounded it we spread the earth as well we spread this earth والأرض مددناها وعلقينا فيها رواسية we threw on to it mountains رواسية مجوات why what's the reason why والأرض مددناها وعلقينا فيها رواسية the reason why Allah did it is so that the earth does not move with its people inhabitants the mountains are what keep the earth from having what earthquakes اللهم أصدر مددناها on this earth have they not looked at this earth as well and if you look at this Muslims look what Allah says in another ayah اللهم يقول أفلم يسيروا في الارضي did they not travel on this earth and they go out on this earth and they do what do they do when they go on the earth they look at كيف بدأ الله الخلق the way Allah created the way Allah started the creation صحيح you go out and what do you look for how Allah started the what started to create even Islam is a religion that tells us to go out and to explore and to find things and to look at things and observe it and it's sad when the Muslims stop doing that what happened the kufar started to do it who started to do it Charles Darwin did it صحيح the kufar did it and he came up with his own conclusions he came up with his what his own conclusions because you've not implemented this verse of yours and you didn't do what was needed from you so he went he went on the beagle he traveled he looked at the creatures that he could look at and the birds and the different types of birds and he came out he came out with his concept and his belief and his theory of natural selection and he authored his book The Origins The Origins of Species so the believers are commanded to go out and look how did Allah create you observe this look at this analyze this but then all of this what does it show you the more you see this earth the more you see the fascination of this earth the more it the more it proves there is a God the more it proves there is Allah سبحانه وتعالى صح not that it proved the more that you see the fascination of this earth the more you eliminate Allah سبحانه وتعالى from the equation no it isn't the case just because I see more fascination every day in iPhone wow they had this setting I didn't know that okay that doesn't mean I say wow there's definitely Steve Jobs was not behind this صحيح that isn't the case وَلِلَّهِ الْبَتَلُوا الْعَالَى the iPhone is deficient in its but then Allah says تَبْصِرَةَنْ وَذِكْرَةَ this looking at the earth looking at the samawat there's a what تَبْصِرَةَ it's an insight and it's a reminder for who لُقُلْ لَعَبْدِ مُنِيد any slave who wants to turn back to Allah or Allah by just looking at the earth looking at the stomach and pondering around what's around you it's a way for you to repent sometimes and it's a way for you to come back to your Creator الله سبحانه وتعالى because you see Allah has all of this you ask yourself what significance do you hold who are you look at the mountain if Allah just if the mountain just slightly leans over you it will destroy you you're gone you're finished you're nothing if you go to YouTube and sometimes watch these videos where the earth opens and you know these cars are driving and they just get swallowed have you seen it سبحان الله and this guy who's just a whole building collapses on him just how weak we are and how we think we're big and strong and then all of this is what it's the eyes and it's the same eye that if the person uses and they follow their desires الله refers to them as an animal rather the worst of animals the dog الله سبحانه وتعالى he says this man was an individual who Allah gave him the book Allah gave him knowledge Allah made him understand the scripture but what did he do he turned his eye away from what he had he turned his eye away from what was given to him and where did he turn his eye towards yeah he turned his eye to the glitters and the glamours of this dunya that's what Allah said to the Prophet فلا تمدن عينكة don't open your eyes and look at in what الامامة تانبين that which we have blessed them with the people the things that they have the cars that they are driving the little money that they have the little dunya that they have don't open your eyes towards the old Muhammad don't give that attention and wait like that صح الله is telling the Prophet and then this man what happened he opened his eye to the dunya he started to look at it then what happened he turned away from what what was given to him فاتبعه شيطان he became from the destroyed individuals شيطان followed him are you with me الله says ولو شئنا الله رفعناه بها ولكنه أخلا ده إلى الأرض واتتبع حوا pay attention to this الله says if we willed we would have what we would have raised him up ولو شئنا الله رفعناه بها we would have given him a station and high rank ولكنه بط this individual he chose what أخلا ده إلى الأرض he chose to be down on this earth look at the believers brothers and sisters what is the believer one the believer wants to be raised he is the believer's feelings and his concerns are there hereafter and he is looking more towards that direction لكن the one who has followed his desires he is looking for the what he is too small he is just looking for this dunya he wants to stay here أخلا ده إلى الأرض واتتبع حوا الله says فمتلو كمتل الكلب his example is an example of it is an example of what dog the dog is like what انتعمل علي يلهن أو تتركو يلهن the dog if you take something to it and you give it water it still has its turn out and it's still what if you don't give it water it's still the same it's nothing changes and some people are like that when the religion is given to them knowledge is given to them everything is given to them and when it's taken they're just the same nothing changes them are we all together so here's a powerful point which is this man's what made him like this is another many of you sisters and brothers if you look at the reason why so many things started in your life problems that you've seen is all because of what another what you look at ودي دالكة the hadith which was what another ساهمون نسهام إبليث that the eyesight is an arrow from the arrows of who it's an arrow from the arrows of and إبليث ودي دالكة الإمام إبركطان الفأسي he saw the importance of this things they they creep into your heart but there are channels it has to go through in order to get to your heart صحيح things they creep into your heart and there are channels in which it has to take in order to get to your it has to get to your heart to be these channels what are these channels right نظر في آي سيطs نظر في شيء فيه يجب أن يبدو علىه مضيح معنا أسوأ is that the person listens to what he shouldn't listen to you are listening your ears are listening to things that you should not listen to and the third is that the person is what so the person is seeing things that he shouldn't see the person is what يتعلم بحياته. و immerهم يتحكي بطبخة المدينة يبقى أن يتأكد عن stuff which goes inside your heart when you look at these people who drink alcohol, smoke, weed And et cetera هل تفعلون جيد أشياء؟ هل انت مشاشة؟ كذلك لأمام أولاً نمو زنانا سيرت out to eat و نرى تحققات who was embarrassing the things some people do I'm guessing that Muslims look at Pakistan accordingly لذلك كانوا أخوانيين و أخوانيين و أخوانيين و الأشياء التي كانوا يفعلونها ولكن في المتحدث they were saying I'm not very drunk I'm not too drunk so you're looking subhanallah this is the reality of what the person takes in and then after that it affects the heart what does it do what does it do it affects the heart and the person is in a state of pain and agony the person is suffering it's truly suffering you call you and say I am in a state of pain are you with me don't follow a look with another look the first look is for you it'll be insha'Allah you won't be held in I can't for it but the second is what it's against you when we first see things that are wrong our heart what does it do the person it pushes you back but once you do look at it again and again and again it becomes a what it settles into your heart لذلك ابن القيب رحمه الله I think it's in his كتاب he talks about these these these these things the looks and the calms that he brings and the مفاصد that he brings it's very sad now one of the greatest questions that people bring in and the questions that people ask the email us regarding is based on addictions of things that they watch and the reason for this is what again where does it go back to huh where does it go back to and it goes back to another this person is looking at something which they shouldn't be looking at and so this person is in a حير on discussion and what's sad is because that steam has now made them not pray and not fast and be so lazy in their life and become like us they're just in a limbo they just go in these circles and they know it they're crying to you when they tell you and the way they express their pain to you you can really realize this person is suffering and all of this was because they did not what they didn't get control of over what one thing what was it that they didn't control it it's their eyesight they didn't control it and that's why the really my game importance to it if you look at شروح الحديث the books of حديث if you look at their commentaries that are placed on books of حديث and the scholars the way اكتنسي بيه how they went into this if you look at the statement of الله وكل المؤمنات يهوضونا من أبصاره ويحفظنا فروجهنا and before that statement of الله وكل المؤمنين يهوضو من أبصاره ويحفظوا فروجهم that before Allah told us to protect our private parts what did he tell us first he said low your gaze don't look at what you should you should not be looking at and it all is that one look that you give something just one time and it leaves a mark in your heart and then that mark that will then grow into your heart and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and then it sometimes reaches a point where you're unable you're unable to come back from what are you you're unable so brothers and sisters um be careful when i was preparing this and i was looking at it last night i looked at the the pornography industry which percentage is highest now the male or the female well i didn't look for it but i was looking into that but then what came to me was that one of the greatest websites they said that the percentage of women have now grown more than ever and they said that the women have now become more than the men was never like that before this shows you what there are other external factors that they've used against the muslims what have they what have they used against the muslims other external factors it doesn't a person doesn't just a person doesn't just result to that this is this is this is the final conclusion this is a final ending of somebody's situation when they result to that before that it was before that was what it was another feshawari it was when the the person looking at them looking around on the road and on the street be careful what you look at when you look at look at with your eyes الله you're going to suffer and later you're going to be addicted to something you're going to regret why you're addicted to it and you can't come back from it so look at your protect your eyesight and what you look at so the sheikh gave importance to that and insha'Allah we're going to see how he he mentioned the sheikh he's known for his authorship the great scholar this Imam and Imam Abu-l-Hasan is very well known for his writing he's an Imam which is كبير the great Imam he's a Haafel he's reached the level of Ha'at al-Hadith he has another كتاب that a student of knowledge cannot let that book be absent from his library as a كتاب called he called it بيان الوهم والإهام فيما وقع في كتب الأحكام as a كتاب called بيان الوهم والإهام الواقعين في كتب الأحكام أه? أما في كتاب الأحكام بشفك لي he's talking about كتاب الأحكام and I think we'll بيان الوهم والإهام في الواقعين في كتب الأحكام what is this book this book is basically the أحاديث that have been written from the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام you know the processor's حديث are written in many different ways right some of them they talk about the processor's how he looked that would be the books that you learn how the Prophet was was he tall was he short how was he عليه الصلاة what was his complexion there's books that talk about things that you should love to do and things that you should want to stay away from which is called yeah hope and fear things that you want to do and things you want to stay one from books like the ألم إمام مدري الكتاب رياض الصالحين and books like that and there are books that are like what rulings like بلو المرام عنده تلحكام الأحكام بايم تحقلي شبيلي المنطقة بايم والبراكات إبن تيميس فقران فادا المحرر إبن عبدالهادي and books like that they're كتب الأحكام this kitab written by إبن قطان الفاسي what it does is that it grades all the أحاديث in those books of أحكام and a person will learn the way that the scholars of حديث speak about narrations and authenticate it and classify it and etc this kitab is عجيب it's really عجيب it's so powerful that إبن حدر used and referenced it a lot in إسترخيص الحبير what did he do he used it and he applied in إسترخيص الحبير and إمام الشوكاني you used it in his nail or altar اللهم استعالوا على ما تصفون great scholars they used it and they applied it in their work even the kitab that you have today what's his name what's he called مِنَّة الأحكام what's he called مِنَّة العلام مِنَّة العلام في شرح بلو بالبلاء بإمام الشيخ عبدالله صالحة فوزان he really relies on this kitab بيانو لهم وليهام الواقعين في كتاب الأحكام he relies on this when he's grading the أحاديث if you go and you see a lot of it a lot of the times he uses this and he of course used the other kitab written by ابنو جوزي and ابن عبدالهدي وحيم الله let's talk about this book a bit about it because i think students of knowledge should try to buy this book written by ابنو this one which is the كتاب إحكام النظر في حكام النظر this book that we're talking about which is pertaining to the issue of looking at women or men looking at men women the sheikh the way he wrote it is first of all he placed eight chapters for it eight chapters and the reason why he'd done eight chapters is because the doors of جنة are eight الله take us to جنة these are the eight chapters he believes that if a person trends on he takes serious it will be a part a way for him to what to enter جنة he started his رحمه الله in his chapters in which he placed the issue of the he started number one the first chapter he starts with the issue of رض البصر رض البصر lower your gaze أما لا يحلو in things that are not permissible for you he talks about that he discusses that he also talks about he also talks about what is also permissible for you to look at he talks about lowering your gaze from things that you're not allowed to see he also talks about things that you're allowed to look at he also speaks about ما لا يجوز يبدأه للنظرين وما يجوزه what is it allowed that a person can show from their beauty what are you allowed to show and this is where الباني references him by the way صح is of the opinion of شيخ ناصر رحمه الله تعالى which is that the face in the hands is what is عورا according to him الحفظ البلقطان الفاسي is not a what to him is the hands and the face a woman can show and even the legs when he comes to the issue of the legs البلقطان الفاسي he brings all the and then he kind of makes it seem like he's going to say that it's it's allowed then he comes back and he reads that the legs are also عورا for the woman and that she has to cover her legs he also talks about in his book women men looking at men and in situations that men when they look at each other and what can they see from each other he talks about that he talks about women looking at women and how some women take it very lightly when it comes to and of course some men they take it very lightly in how they dress in front of each other or they are in front of each other then he talks about نظر الرجالي الى النسى men looking at women and women looking at men and when he came to the matter of men looking at women and women looking at men here is where he went it's just he went off into it so much and he really went details into this issue he made great أئمة كبار رفل سابق and go back to it the way he lays it lays the way he lays it out the way he discusses these issues and then after that he talks about issue of ضرورة تبيح المحضورات if a doctor has to see a woman's عورا how much of it can he see what is he allowed to see how can he see it he talks about that issue and the situations pertaining to that the book has very strong points i want to bring to your your attention brothers which is that number one he brings all of the آيات that are needed all of the آيات that are needed he brings it there for you that are connected to looking he brings it in a book and he places it in a very organized manner رحمه الله و تعالى and it also brings you the statement of the مفصولي السكولات التفسير starting with the companions of course starts with the companions and then the and then the and then he brings the where they where they extracting the from and he also talks about the where is the where is it connected to the ruling he also brings the in there as well and of course when he brings the he's the so he doesn't just bring the he doesn't just bring the when he brings the he represents where he's in he brings a chain of narration he authenticates and weakens it if it needs that he goes in مفصل it in that matter also what about the beautiful things about this كتاب of his is that he also the way he's encompassed and he really has brought the statement of the فقهة the way he has bought the statement of what the فقهة the ايمة المداهب like المامو مالي المامو شافر المامو محمد he brings their statements and what they said and the ايمة that follow them he brings their statements and then when he does bring their statements when you another he he also strengthens and he weakens based on his opinion and how he sees it he does ترجيحه in that matter he also brings a lot of اجماعات consensors he brings it and of course he he's ايمام in consensors he has a whole book called في مسائل اجماع there's a kitab which is the author what did he call it he called it في مسائل اجماع matters that have consents that have been agreed upon that Muslims can't come later and start discussing and talk about this already this is the consensory already sorry you just have to adhere to it there's really a book on that so this book that's the beauty that it that it has and if a person really reads it looks at it very well gives it time it will truly benefit from it and that's why الامام الالباني ورحمة الله he prays this book what did he call it he called it فقد تكلم فيها بِعِلْمِنْ وَاسَعَ that he spoke about this in great knowledge he said وَنَظَرِنْ تَاقِبِلْ he said his observation is very solid he says على كل مسائل all of the matters that he spoke about every matter that he spoke about he spoke about it بِعِلْمِنْ وَاسَعِ with vast knowledge and it's true because these imams they were imams he was as الامام الالباني رحمة الله في الوكت الكتاب جلباب المرأة المسلمة page 52 everyone look at the bottom one does he say at the bottom وصفه الذهبي في أعلام النبلاء the 22nd volume page 306 what he say بقوله استيمنس الأشيخ الإمام العلم الحافظ اللاقد المجود القابل فهي ذا مجود أنا قابل إمام القرآن as well يوز حاطب الحريث ويوز أصوء قاضي يوز أصوء what يوز اي قاضي رحمة الله يوز جنج he took that position of being a جنج رحمة الله بس طبع فضئ اقناع في مسائل جماع I have is the one which is الفاروق الحديثية للطراعة والنشر ابن قطاو يوز بوني فيا 562 ويديده يوز 628 رحمة الله يوز بون يوز بون 500 وات 62 ويديد 600 وات 20 28 رحمة الله his name is علي ابن محمد ابن عبد الملكي ابن يحيي ابن محمد ابن إبراهيم ابن قصلة ابن السماحة الفاسي ويو ويس كنية is أبو الحسن ويس لقب his nickname is ابن قطان رحمة الله رحمة واسعة دشيغ رحمة الله he was born and he was raised until the age of 20 in his land of fasts and then he moved to مراكش he went there so he can take the knowledge take from the scholars and the people of knowledge and this is one thing I truly advise any one of you when it comes to seeking knowledge you need to travel for it if you can't travel to your local masjid just to come to a class you can't even leave sometimes maybe from your barra and go to another barra if you can't really do that are you going to seek knowledge when you go to another country? I remember some sisters certainly wallahi brother wallahi that we have problem these sisters can't travel like seeking knowledge is that what sisters suffer from? they say that we can't when we have محمد new brothers can just jump on a plane and go جوفوس they say that a lot right? I would only take that from you if I see you go to the local masjid and taking classes there right? you're not doing it in your local masjid and there are so many things going on and you're not doing it to use as an excuse that you will take a plane and you will travel to seek knowledge this is what right? it's you lying to yourself and it's the same with so many brothers as well don't say to your brother wallahi I want to seek knowledge I'm going to go I'm just waiting for my Jamia to Islamia مدينة المنورة I've applied for the Jamia I'm just waiting for their response and as soon as God willing they give me the green light I'm going to go in I'm going to seek knowledge I'll tell you this in advance for free without no money you're not going to seek knowledge are you right? not that I'm trying to hurt this person but I'm telling them the truth because if you couldn't do it in your local area if you were not taking it serious in your neighborhood are you really going to take it serious when you go to another country where the environment is different where the people no you're not you are truly not and the fact that you're saying I'm waiting for the application to come through the shows that you're not what you're not going to so the person should travel and this is what the علماء used to do and of course the Shaykh رحمة الله he took knowledge from his people he took knowledge from the أهل العلم of his time and he took positions he took what he took position he became a qadi for the دولة الموحدية or الموحدية that time that controlled it he took control over it and here رحمة الله being the qadi of course meant qadi by the way when we hear qadi according to the previous scholars qadi didn't mean what we think just a little judge a qadi is up there he's like he's like the minister of foreign affairs he's high up there his words go through when you hear this person took a منصب he took a position and he became a qadi that means he was what he had the dunya of his time at that time and these scholars even though they had all of this they were still what they were still إما كما ذهب سنبعهم الحافظ العلمة the word علامة even though it's a mu'annath the word of علامة it's a mu'annath the تانيه the تعمر بوطه here is what للمبالغة it's just emphasis that he was excessively knowledgeable the same was said about Ibn Abdul Hadeed he said the same about him Ibn Umad said Ibn Nasr al-Dinad al-Demeshqi Ibn Abdul Malik said the same about him Ibn Abar said the same about him many scholars they praised him رحمة الله رحمة الله سلام he was a person as I said before to you he had vast knowledge of different sciences he's put his hand in so many sciences and this is something I want you sisters and brothers to hear which is that as a Muslim you should try to learn all sciences have a good understanding you know a vast knowledge of different sciences whether it be حديث play something on it whether it be Arabic language this is my lost property whether it be Quran and other sciences give it to me I need it whether it be فق whether it be عقيدة any misalum any field of the religion you should have it but then after that of course Allah is going to give you one science you're going to be what? that you're going to have love for you're going to be enjoying more you're going to be passionate about then of course you can go to that science and become more in deep of that science but that doesn't mean you sit in a gathering and somebody will say مقطوع and you say الله I don't know that stuff you know I'm just good at what you call it Quran you know I go different with stations صح it shouldn't be the case all you know علم الحديث and everything and then when it comes to the Quran and you say and that's not the case as well صح or you don't say and you're strong a حديث and you're this and that and you're authenticated a حديث or you're weak in narration are you with me? that shouldn't be the case and the person should have a good ground of all sciences a good base of all sciences but of course he can do تبحر means nothing specialized in one particular science there's many books رحمه الله رحمة الواسعة the books that he has reached 20 books in فق 3 books in أصول الفق he wrote 9 books in حديث and he wrote علم الرجال he wrote 4 books and other sciences and etc he has written 4 books رحمه الله تعالى ابلقطار he died ربيع الأول he died when the year was 628 as I said رحمه الله رحمة الواسعة he died that time and he left behind great knowledge great time he had many students that he took from that took from him as well and مشايخ العلماء that he took from and the students that he took that he took from from his most famous students is of course his own children he also took from رحمه الله رحمه النجاح he took from رحمه الله رحمه النجاح he took from رحمه الله بن آبار he took from رحمه الله بن عالية بن الكبير he also took from from these are all his students by the way اب عبد الله المن all of these are individuals الفقوص بين المشاك these are all his students that took knowledge from him يسأل في الهاتف باقل أبو عمر بن عالي أحمد بن يزيد باعد الراحمان أحمد بن محمد بن عمر القيسين يأخذ باعد عمر بن عبد الرحمن باعدة جيبي يأخذ منه ونعرف منه محمد بن عبد الله بن طاهر الحسين هذه الأسرار والحسين يأخذون هذه are his teachers وانذين يتعلمون يأخذون كونه 21 21 سكولرين يأخذون يجب أن يأخذ المعرفة منها الحمد لله هذه are his teachers, 21 teachers that he has اليوم يمكن أن يجب أن يجب أن يجب أن يأخذ one teacher that I've learned from يمكن أن يجب أن يأخذ 2 صحيح؟ لا يمكن أن يجب أن يجب أن يأخذ 2 هل هذه الناس ماذا لديهم؟ بعضهم يجب أن يأخذ hundreds of teachers hundreds of teachers هذا ما يجب أن يأخذ المعرفة من الناس إن شاء الله يتعالى و يجب أن يتوقف سنأخذ المعرفة من الناس بإذن الناس سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إلهي لله والله ستكون أكثر كتبا


Fly Eagles fly Fly Eagles fly Eagles Wow Talk about shock the world.  Oh, yeah. We got that. Oh, yeah game over. Oh, yeah We ain't even got to play have hard today You can't do that man. That's why the saying still stands till this day and it's never gonna go away any given Sunday and When you think about it Eagles, they weren't supposed to win this game Now I know who Nick foals is I know what Nick foals did last year. I know what Nick foals has accomplished in his career. I know that but Eagles coming into this game because it wasn't it wasn't just them going against the Rams, but it's them going against the Rams in LA in the Rams stadium. Well, Coliseum that They're sharing right now. I believe it's from for USC. But anyway That's a bit beyond the point The Eagles came into this game. They Did not look intimidated whatsoever. They did not look scared They and again, they playing with there. It is technically their backup quarterback here starting caliber, but This goes to show Why the Eagles staff and I know they have had some Underwhelming performances this season more so just not closing out close games because egos have had a lot of games Where they lost this season where they were right there in it They were right there in it a couple things could have went the opposite way Then they would have had a lot more wins this season But I mean it's NFL so you know how it goes, but this is a staff that shows One of the things I like about them is that they They're really good at managing the roster Now when I say that I go back to last year Last year they they had been doing good, but they were still mid-season. They went and got a Jay Ajaya They didn't necessarily need another running back, but they say, you know what? You know, let's make our roster even better. Our roster is good now, but let's make it even better They went out and grabbed Jay Ajaya. I was like, wow, okay Wow, because they traded with the dolphins because dolphins fell out of favor with them and it just got ugly, but this year They They lost Carson was last year for the season to an ACL I believe Nick foals backs up starts a little shaky But ends up Helping take them to a Super Bowl and winning super winning the Super Bowl So then this offseason They got off a second round pick Nick foals from the Browns I believe they got off of some other stuff for him too from other teams, but they could have easily got rid of them and Came up could got a draft pick this year next year. Whatever probably both because Nick foals his highest trade value Was this past offseason? That's the hot. That's probably the highest his trade value is ever gonna be Because this guy is fresh off of being a Super Bowl MVP But the Eagles they turn it all down Like I said, they could have had another draft pick this year could have another draft pick for next year could have both Could have had a little bit of cap relief but they said no Nick foals ain't going nowhere and guess what Then the same scenario they went last year you last year they were doing a lot better as a team, but it's the same scenario seasons on the line Playoffs on the line It's coming down to it. Boom cost that wins out. How long is it gonna be? They don't know yet But it's a good thing for Carson wins that the injury is a lot less serious than they thought it was But still serious because he couldn't play tonight, but then that boom Nick foals they could have had this this game this scenario could have went so many other ways They could have had a drafted They could have had to draft the quarterback in offseason if they were to trade the Nick foals They could have that would have had to sign a quarterback But no they get somebody that they know Can come in and play well and do their thing and get the job done because he just did it He's fresh off of doing it. So shout out to the Eagles for knowing how to manage their roster That goes a long way as you can as I just explained Alshon Jeffrey, it's just a monster It's just a monster. I wanted the Ravens to get him when he was a free agent, but They weren't gonna pay that man all that money He's been worth it though for the Eagles. He's been worth it had a little injuries here and there, but he's been worth it Eagles this year I know you still hurt but again back to the roster management They lost the toy Smith. They ain't got Mike Wallace still got Nelson Aguilera Got golden tape So that's what I'm talking about man. Their roster management is excellent It's excellent This game Really the fact I felt like the Eagles it almost seemed at the end that they didn't want to win it And they wanted to give it away On that I thought they were gonna punt when they went for the field goal. I say, you know what at first When when they're going for the field going like what what are you doing? Just punt the ball punt the ball play some defense But then at the same time I thought like hold up wait a minute They trying to put this game away put it out of reach And I say, you know, I ain't even mad at that This could be a big moment for the kicker. This could wait. This could be where he really makes a name for himself or just Makes a huge kick that will give him so much confidence going forward for the rest of the season And you know, you you cannot Under estimate the power of a good kicker Trust me. I'm a ravens fan. So I know we actually spoiled that kicker. We got the best kicker in the league So just watching all this other drama and just not even necessarily drama But just watching all this other craziness with all these other kickers throughout the league We continued to appreciate jesson tucker more and more every single day but anyway, um The kicker went out to kick the field goal and I say, you know, I love how the eagles are they are so aggressive And they bend that way they bend that way From since thug peterson came on board. He's been that way um But the kicker obviously didn't get it So rams took over And it was looking like uh-oh wait a minute now Rams might do some but then Todd girly. Maybe he was still hurt or something Todd girly, um, maybe tomorrow On the breakfast club charlamagne may just give him donkey today He may just give him donkey today because Todd girly had the opportunity to Make a play make the catch gain positive yards and run out of bounds, but He stayed in He stayed in and that cost him so much time That cost him so much time I'm surprised some uh Some eagles players ain't sit on them for a little bit longer because I've seen it done before When the clock is running and the the team the team on offense doesn't have any timeouts So when the defensive players tackle the offensive players They'll sit on top of them for a little bit for a couple extra seconds and every second obviously matters every second matters and Then that was it man That was it. I think they got they did the spike Then they threw one last pass and that was your ball game That was your ball game rams were just Oh I think they may still be feeling the the weather from chicago Maybe that messed them up bad. Maybe they still got frostbite or something. I don't know what it is They had just been out of it But guess what they better pick it up fast If they want to do anything they better pick it up fast Now do I think they they are in worry mode? No Let them win another one in there. Maybe but right now. No They lost a close one to the eagles. They fought back. They were right there, but obviously Close ain't good enough um But now this helps the saints This helps the saints Saints Now they're clear number one They got that first seed in the nfc and Again saints they've been my super bowl pick before the season even started And it just continues to look more and more like they're gonna get there Will we see another saints rams match up? We'll see We'll see Um, but yeah saints were very happy about tonight They were very happy about tonight um because They were they were eagles fans And eagles helped them out so Anyway rams they better get it together fast quick fast and in a hurry or else things are gonna go downhill Like just like that Because you can get away with this now this this sloppy play what's been going on the past two weeks And you you're going against two completely different teams, but both do both can't do have some tough defenses, but um You can get away with this sloppy play for two more weeks But after that It ain't gonna cut it no more Because you can't afford to get away with get away with sloppy play When it's do or die in the playoffs so rams they they're gonna have a home playoff game, but Will they really have home field advantage? We'll see Team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all We out


So thank you for inviting me over and for this. And so far, I've been listening to the other speakers, and the content is amazing. I've learned a lot, and I hope you enjoy learning a little bit about Vitesse today also. And let's get started. So first of all, let's connect. My name is Alken. I am joining from Istanbul, Turkey. And I'm a senior technical manager, developer advocate, and I wear some other hats as a Vitesse maintainer. And I have been evangelist for the open source database projects before, worked at Parcona, Petion, and I also have a very long list of enterprise background working in very large corporations, like Bank of America, AT&T, and so on and so forth. And I'm also one of the MySQL SMEs. And I am also an avid sailor. And if you want to talk, if anybody wants to talk about sailing, please do find me. And hope to sail one day to Africa also. That would be an amazing trip. So I'm on LinkedIn and Twitter for my business accounts. And if you want to connect, ask questions before or after during later, and any ideas later on. And you can connect and ask questions or interact with me. A little bit about my employer. It was founded by the co-creators of Vitesse. So our subject is Vitesse. The project is Vitesse. And the planet scale was founded by co-creators of Vitesse at YouTube. And YouTube became Google, and we became a planet scale. So we're a little over 50 employees, maybe a little over that, and located in California, in the United States. But with the pandemic, we are 100% remote team. As you can see, I'm from Istanbul. And we provide services on cloud database offering. So today's agenda will be I want to introduce Vitesse. OK. So we were going to talk about Vitesse architecture basics. And then we're going to put together the puzzle together. OK. And basically, Vitesse wants to enable transparent database infrastructure for the applications that you're actually going to point. And it has its own terminology, which is slightly different because it's a different than the database in the back end. It's a framework that sits on top of a database. In this case, MySQL. So we call it a database, logical database, the key space. And then the reason for that is we're not going to go in too much detail. But because this is a sharded implementation or designed for sharding of the database, it actually has a key space concept with a key space ID. There's a primary Vindex and the Vindex settings into that. So there's a VtGate, and that's a proxy server, VtTablet. And then we have a topology manager. So we're going to look into these a little bit. So consider a common replication cluster. You have a replicated cluster. Usually, it's actually one primary and then multiple replicas behind it. So VtTablet sits into this very common scenario of MySQL implementation with a primary and replicas around it. So VtTablet is like a demon, a side car. And it controls the MySQL server. It interacts with the MySQL server. And usually, we place them on the same server where the MySQL sits. But in large-scale database implementations, you will have multiple clusters. And then to be able to drive these multiple clusters, you will actually have some sort of a proxy server. So VtTest comes with a built-in proxy server that is called VtGate. And it's a stateless proxy. It is stateless, but it's smart. It speaks to MySQL protocol. Also, it does connection pooling, caching, and some other stuff. And it acts like a monolith MySQL database in the back end. Basically, you connect to the VtGate. You connect it like to a database standalone database in the back end. But in reality, you will have n number of customer clusters and n number of servers that are acting as primary and replicas behind the scenes. So it relates the queries to VtTablet. So in very, very large implementation, then you will have multiple VtGates pointing to the multiple clusters behind the scenes. And this is how the very large shops like GitHub or we'll get to that. So to get to the VtGate, you also have the application that's pointing to the VtGate. And it needs to know where the data sits. So the idea behind this is, as you can see in this example, we have a commerce database, which is sharded. It's probably sharded by a customer ID or a product ID. It depends on the scenario. We'll talk about that a little bit. But then you can also have an internal, unsharded database. So the application pointing to the VtGate knows where the shard is. So this is the Vitesse. So this is what we can achieve with Vitesse architecture, given the simple example of select order ID price from orders and equals to four, it knows where that shard is. So usually, sharding is a very complex terminology in the databases. But usually, you shard by the key ID, which is, in this case, customer ID. And then you split up, depending on how big is your cluster. And then you have smaller set of clusters behind the scenes instead of having the largest host or largest instances of the implementation that's going to serve your database traffic. So also, there is another component called, we call it the Topo, but it's a topology server. It's a distributed key value store. And usually, it's implementations that we have is HCD, console or zookeeper. So these are also other open source utilities that you can integrate into Vitesse with the topology manager. And then topology is required for keeping this information about, OK, where is the shard is? Where is this schema sits? And then Vitesse knows that information. It exchange that information with the topology server. And then it actually makes it serving. So the key value store is another data store, of course. Why are we keeping that? Because these are known and proven technologies to keep this type of information. They keep this type of data. So they are redundantly served within the same data center or other data centers that is distributed. So there is another component in the Vitesse architecture. It's called the VTCTLD, which actually controls the topology in overall. So you have multiple components that controlling the architecture. But basically, it allows this operation of the tablets and the topology server keeping a consistent state of things how things are. So it sounds a little bit complex, but it's pretty straightforward when we come to that. So Vitesse knows what's happening with your schemas, shards, and clusters, including the server roles. When we say a server role, I mentioned about behaving the primary and the replicas. So some of the replicas are read-only. Some of the replicas are for serving for other purposes. Then you can actually set those readable or writable flags, and then Vitesse will know what to do about those. So if you look at it in summary, Vitesse's control plane includes a proxy server, a backup and recovery operations. It does an integrated failover. It can use the third-party tool by another open-source tool like Orchestrator. It does the sharding. Of course, that's one of the strengths of it. But it also comes with an advanced replication called Vreplication or VStream. So what that means is you can migrate data within or outside of the Vitesse cluster using the Vreplication technologies. This is like binary logging and streaming, and then it's actually applying to correct nodes. So why this is important for Vitesse? It is because of the bullet point about it. It's a sharding scheme because normally if you shard, it's you're stuck with that sharding. And then when you start serving traffic off of that, those sharding methodology, you can't actually change that with Vitesse. You can. You can do the resharding. Let's say your key change, your schema change, your application has changed, and you can actually reshard and then change. And maybe you actually scale for 16 clusters and you wanna do 32 clusters because your business is booming. You can actually do this live with a very small like split second failover using Vitesse. So you serve the traffic, you reshard while applying the changes to the new shard.  It'll cut over with a minimal effect to the application. May or may not even notice that. So you can also do an online DDL management. This is very hot topic in the database world because when you do a locking operation, then your replicas get behind and then you have other issues. And we're talking about very large implementations like YouTube, GitHub and other places. So these are even more problematic. So Vitesse can actually help you overcome these obstacles. And there's more. So in a picture, just to remind everyone and hopefully we're doing very good on time to show you. So we have an application server that's pointing to a load balancer and then load balancer points to VT gates. And that's actually serving sharded or uncharted clusters. In the meantime, Vitesse actually owns a topology server and topo server and then VTCTLD component to do the cluster management. So this is a summary of Vitesse architecture. Again, this is completely open source. All these components on the right-hand side over here, you can actually see the code in GitHub. And again, this code is owned by CNCF basically. And then you can read what's actually behind the scenes. So I'm stoked about that. Support backend databases. We do support MySQL. Vitesse is very MySQL-centric implementation. We can say that clearly. And adopters are very MySQL focused shops. So MySQL 5.7, 8.0 are supported. MariaDB were support until 10.3. And we don't have extensive experience or user-based in MariaDB just as a site. There are no implementations pointing Vitesse into Postgres. But it's not on the roadmap for this year. Maybe it will come depending on the contributions coming up from that, those communities. It may be a possibility, but at this point that is not the case. So we're gonna talk about a little bit very briefly about the use cases. So when I have a Vitesse, do I actually have this chart? No, you don't have the actual chart. You can still do uncharted implementation. And if you think you will, you will get some sort of a scaling issues in the future that will prepare you for scaling. And so management of MySQL topology, yes. If you put it behind Vitesse, Vitesse does its own management with the VT tablets, topology, it knows where things are. It gives you other tooling, other command line tools to do, let's say you want to do re-parenting. Normally you have to do like change master to and then type in commands, find the coordinates of the master and then fail over to that and cut over the application. This all of that, you can contain it with a simple command with maybe simple shortcut within Vitesse world. So because Vitesse knows which one is a primary, which one is a replica and the primary is no good or you wanna do a maintenance on it, you wanna assign one of the replicas as a primary on that cluster. You can give one command just with their tablet ID and it'll be done. So Vitesse also is very open source friendly as an open source tool. We mentioned about backup and recovery. So extra backup is online hot backup utility very known by the Percona toolkit. It's part of the Percona toolkit and it's supported by Vitesse. So large databases having to backup and restore and implement it. It will be a very wise thing to do. PT online schema change again is a Percona toolkit utility to do the online schema changes and GitHub online schema transfers is a ghost utility by GitHub. These are all already built into Vitesse. So you actually can just set the DDL strategy and then run it. It'll basically drive these open source utilities along with the Vitesse operation. So see the other one is an orchestrator. That's a high availability and a failover cluster management utility. VTALK, we call it is still in progress. It's experimental. It works. I have a talk in Percona live in May 12th and 13th if I'm not mistaken by the date and then there's going to be some representation of that also. So we talked about online schema change utilities but also there is a way to do this in migration style within the Vitesse. So we are very excited about this technology because this V replication can actually make schema changes while you're serving the data and then you can flip over to that schema when you're ready. So there's a link over here. I will share the slides. So do some reading about if you think you have a large cluster and you will hit some scalability issues and how do I do online schema changes? We test maybe your option to help over there. So the other thing is VTALK. It's an experimental. There's a development ongoing but the orchestrator itself is an amazing tool. If you haven't heard about it managing as an SRE or a DBA it's a very de facto utility for topology management and a high availability solution. So it has smart settings and it can failover if it detects lags or other flags and it's useful. So we are actually planning to integrate more into this to the Vitesse. So who uses Vitesse? I mentioned, I happen to mention GitHub already but one of our early adopter is Slack. As you know, Slack is very popular and Slack needed to scale. During the pandemic they have grown extremely and they are like at the time of this slide maybe it was 99.9% or they migrated completely serving all traffic using Vitesse. So you think about Slack implementation. Every customer ID needs to behave its own space and then your scaling, you know that's a very good example. There's a square, it's an online transaction. There's Pinterest, there's GitHub HubSpots. There's more adopters in that. Some of them are very large shops and some of them are going to be growing into expecting an exponential growth in the coming months or years. So that is the case over here. All right, so we are doing good on time. So I want to touch base on data on Kubernetes. So every DBA including myself maybe like when the Kubernetes came or the cloud came while the cloud is gonna add latency on it then the containers came while the containers aren't consistent data stores and they're not persistent. They're not meant to for serving production traffic. I remember reading, you know it was when Docker came out on the Docker's homepage do not use this in production and then now it's Kubernetes and the Kubernetes community is growing probably faster than anything else and data on Kubernetes is doable. So I am here to say it is doable and it's also growing community. There are other graduated projects. Check out the CNCF doing Kubernetes, data on Kubernetes actually. So who needs the data on Kubernetes? So if you're like what I'm hearing from the community and the prospects or the clients that we have today and in the past like whoever actually already migrated into microservices containers on premise or in the cloud. So this is, they are already becoming a Kubernetes shop and they want to keep it Kubernetes aside by side with their data. So that actually makes sense. But how do we do that? So in MySQL in Kubernetes itself is if you look at outside of the box MySQL wasn't designed for this type of operation because it's a very consistent asset data store. So you actually, MySQL internally actually keeps a very consistent data and it serves the data if only it's consistent. And so MySQL provides high availability and works with persons in storage. It does backup and recovery. So you can do, you can all orchestrate this in Kubernetes using with MySQL. But with tests on Kubernetes actually predates the Kubernetes. So this is an interesting fact over here that the release of Vitesse because this all born in Google and the release of Vitesse was, you know, and initial release of Kubernetes came so by nature Vitesse is actually very Kubernetes friendly implementation from day one even, you know, T minus day before day one. And the mindset of the framework, the skeleton, the code set code base is actually a Kubernetes friendly. So, well, how do I run Vitesse on Kubernetes if that's my next question, right? You could either build your own because it's a go product, right? You can compile and embed it into your Kubernetes orchestration. Initially, we've heard a lot of the hand charts. There are still shops using hand charts. I don't have any personal opinion against hand charts but there's a caveat using hand charts because they're very specific to individual implementation. So when we first implemented hand charts for Vitesse even for testing, it quickly became obsolete. It became outdated very quickly. So if you were to do hand charts your own, Vitesse will still work in Kubernetes. But what I think is the best option is the operator. So Vitesse has its own open source operator by plan scale and that is the best place to start with. So what other MySQL implementations are doing for the Kubernetes, there's a Parcona implementation. This is not included with test but that's more extra DB cluster implementation. It's a consistent cluster, keeping multiple replicas consistent way. That's an extra DB. I don't know if you ever heard about it. There's a press labs implementation of the MySQL and there's a Vitesse operator and there are some others and more others are coming. If you look at the operators, operators world are the key for success in Kubernetes. And I also have Vitesse operator for Kubernetes blog post. And that is a good way if you're interested in Kubernetes, if you're interested in operators and you want to try some data source like MySQL and Vitesse. And this is a good example of representation and that's what I thought of giving an example over here because if I were to run this, we won't have enough time for it. So where do I get information about Vitesse? So we have Vitesse IO and there's like lots of docs, there are examples getting started pages. There's a contributor guide if you want to contribute for the Vitesse project. And we have a Vitesse Slack and that is the best place to ask questions specifically about Vitesse, your experience if you run into issues, understanding any issues because we have a maintainers in the Slack and watching this space. And then we get help around the community about the Vitesse. And thank you very much and my Twitter handle is over here. I'm also on GitHub, LinkedIn and that was my presentation about Vitesse. Hopefully we did good on time. Yeah, yeah, we are suddenly on time. Wow, that was an awesome presentation. Thanks a lot. Okay, and I'm glad you also added some useful links on the slides as well. So definitely we'll definitely share the slides if it pleases you. So share the slides with the attendees immediately after the session. So yeah, this is the time for Q&A. If you have any questions, please feel free to put it out there on the chat section. If you're streaming live, feel free to also ask your questions on Twitter. Chats as well, yeah, let's give you a minute and see if we get any questions from attendees. I think we have none. Okay, well, thank you very much for organizing and inviting us over and I appreciate all the time you put in and I appreciate all the great work that you did this community days in Africa. Hopefully I'll get to see you in Africa someday. Oh yeah, yeah, that would be amazing. After the pandemic, all right? Of course, of course, yeah, thanks a lot for coming. All right, thank you very much, I appreciate it. Yeah, see you some other time.
