The shaykh, at the time of salaatul-jumuah, he would ascend the

mimbaar and give the salaams. After the adhaan he would beginwith an opening khutbah and proceed to speak. While speaking theshaykh would hold on to one of the post on the mimbaar with onehand and hold his shimaagh (a cover sheet for the head) with theother hand. He would look at the audience straight in their faces andspeak in a loud voice. I recall taking my roommate to his masjid for

Abdus- Salam al-Barjas May Allah Protect him-said:

Indeed the ones who are worthy to be called (Aalim) are very few.And it wouldnt be extreme if it was said rare this is because anAalim has particular qualities, and most of them are not foundamongst those who connect themselves to knowledge today, so an'Aalim is not one who is eloquent in language, and an 'Aalim is not

one who compiles a book or checks a manuscript; And, if an 'Aalimis just understood by these affairs, and unfortunately, this is whatis in the minds of many (of the people) who are not acquaintedwith who an 'Aalim is, and for this reason, many of the Generalmasses have humbled themselves to eloquence in language andthe writings of other than the Ulama. So these things become apoint of amazement with them. So an 'Aalim in truth is the one

who is well versed with the Ilm as-Sharaee (legislativeKnowledge) and is familiar with the general rulings of the Book andthe Sunnah, acquainted with the Naasikh and Mansookh, theMutlaq and Muqayid, the Mujmal and Mufasar and also has readthe statements of the Salaf in those areas in which they differed.
