Mengenal Syekh Dr. dr. Yusri Rusydi Sayyid Gabr al-Hasani | Profil Singkat

Peace be upon you. Today we are at Dr. Yousry Gabr's clinic. We came to get to know him better, to learn about the doctor, the sheikh, the human being.

Dr. Yousry Gabr was born on Thursday, the 25th of Muharram, 1374 AH, corresponding to September 23, 1954, in the Rod El Farag neighborhood. He is the

perfect human being whom God wants to be a worshipper in all circumstances, for "I did not create jinn and mankind except to worship Me." [Music] He is named after the doctor who supervised his birth.

[Music] He moved with his father, an architect, to live in Badrashin in 1961 and remained there until graduating from university. He

obtained his primary and preparatory certificates, and his secondary certificate was [Music] in 1972.

He enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine at Al-Asry Al-Aini in Cairo.

During his medical studies, he memorized the Holy Quran and attended the classes of the leading [Music] sheikhs of his time. He

graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University in 1978 [Music]. He

[Music]. He obtained his Master's degree in General Surgery in 1983 and his Doctorate in 1991 from the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University

[Music].

So, O Muslim, you must return once again to the correct understanding. And the correct language, and purifying your heart from

correct understanding. And the correct language, and purifying your heart from worldly desires so that you may understand the intent of the Messenger of God, based on the intent of God

and His Messenger. And because of his love for Islamic knowledge, he acquired it from specialists, so he enrolled in the Faculty of Sharia and Law [Music] at Al-Azhar University in 1992 and obtained a Bachelor's degree in Islamic Sharia [Music] in 1998. How are you, Doctor? Welcome, Your Excellency. You combined the study of Sharia and medicine. How did you combine these two fields, which are so different?

This is by the grace of God first.

Yes and then by perseverance and patience.

Yes, since I was a student in college, I used to frequent religious scholars. I even started memorizing the Quran in my

religious scholars. I even started memorizing the Quran in my third year of medical school. It occurred to me to memorize the Quran because I found many intellectual movements

in college during the seventies. All the

groups you hear about were emerging during the seventies, and I was in college.

I said, "Since things are like this, I must start memorizing the Quran because the Quran is agreed upon first. These ideas are disputed."

Yes so I said, "Start with what is agreed upon first, which is..." There is no disagreement in the Quran.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Indeed,

those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish

prayer and give zakah will have their reward with their Lord. They will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they

grieve.

Surely, my master, there are things you learned in medicine that benefited you in the field of Sharia, and vice versa. Meaning, things you learned in Sharia that benefited you in the field of medicine. I mean,

how did these two fields serve each other and become like interconnected pipes?

Medicine is fundamentally a profession based on advice.

Yes, you advise the patient. How? What does that mean? How do they express their weakness in their illness?

Whether it is a physical illness or even a psychological one.

Yes, the religion. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, " Religion is advice."

Yes, so medicine is a branch of religion. When

Qasr El-Aini was established in Egypt, which is the first medical school, who was teaching there? Yes, the students of Al-Azhar were the ones

teaching there? Yes, the students of Al-Azhar were the ones who studied there, and they wore turbans, even those from Al- Azhar. When you enter the Qasr El-Aini Museum

Azhar. When you enter the Qasr El-Aini Museum and see the old photos, you'll find that those who built Qasr El-Aini in its early days were Al-Azhar scholars, pictured as students learning medicine.

You are a surgeon, a surgeon, meaning the scalpel.

How were you able to reconcile surgery and the scalpel with being a religious scholar, a sheikh, and a Sufi?

Sufism means tenderness of heart. How did you combine the surgical skill with tenderness of heart? How did you reconcile these?

For a surgeon to be successful, he must be a compassionate surgeon.

Yes, because he knows that if the surgeon is hard-hearted, he will harm the patient, and the patient may even lose himself. We suffer from some surgeons who are bold and sometimes rush into things, harming

the patient because they have a heart but no mercy. That's why a

no mercy. That's why a surgeon must be characterized by boldness with mercy.

Many of our professors in surgery used to say that a skilled surgeon knows when to stop, not when to continue.

Is there a situation A personal experience I had in the medical field that I'll never forget, or that's still vivid in my memory happened at the hospital. We were making rounds with the

young doctors, the residents and interns, and they were complaining about the low salaries and how they could n't afford basic necessities. These

young people were saying, " Yes," and I told them, "Guys, God has blessed us with great things.

None of you have ever been hungry and couldn't find anything to eat. Even

the Prophet, peace be upon him, was hungry and couldn't find anything to eat, yet he remained patient." We finished our conversation and went to a patient I had booked. He was a 70-year-old man who couldn't

swallow because he had esophageal cancer. His esophagus was blocked, and he had placed an open bottle next to him, like a pitcher, to spit out his saliva throughout the night. He

couldn't swallow his saliva, and if he did, it would accumulate until he choked. He couldn't sleep, so he spent the whole night spitting out. He's in his throat, poor thing, and can't sleep, afraid he'll

choke on his saliva. So

I say to the patient, "What do you wish for, sir?" He

tells me, "I wish before my throat..." And he's still practicing medicine to this day, and he gives many lessons [music] in mosques and various study circles. He has finished explaining

study circles. He has finished explaining many books on Hadith, Sufism [music] and creed.

In a segment, my dear sir, called the "Words Segment," I'll say a word to you, and you'll respond with a sentence or a group of words. "Homeland," yes, the

homeland. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear it is my mother, my

homeland. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear it is my mother, my children my mother. And that's why

mother. And that's why the generation that grew up in nurseries, [music] and whose mothers were working women, didn't feel this meaning. So when they grew up, they started burning their country.

meaning. So when they grew up, they started burning their country.

Yes, the homeland is essentially the mother, the compassionate mother in whose arms you throw yourself when you're tired.

Yes, and the first thing you do when you feel afraid is look into her eyes. So a person's sense of homeland begins as a child with their mother.

When they grow up a little and become independent of... His mother feels that his country is the homeland that contains him, the place where he feels safe as long as he lives within its borders. He

even becomes familiar with the shape of the streets, the shape of the houses, and the shape of the neighbors. All these meanings become the

the neighbors. All these meanings become the homeland of love. The

love. The first thing that comes to my mind is God and His Messenger.

Yes and then from the love of God and His Messenger branches out the tree of love that encompasses all worlds.

Yes, including, of course, humanity and the universe.

Of course, there is no doubt that whoever loves God and loves the Messenger, the Messenger of Mercy to the Worlds, will love the worlds.

Death, death, in my view, is rest.

Yes, rest, like someone who has lived his whole life in an exam, and he can finally submit the answer sheet and leave to rest. So death,

in reality, means the end of one life and the beginning of a wider, broader, and greater life.

Yes, it includes awareness, advancement, and liberation from constraints.

Yes freedom.

Freedom is to be a true servant of God. That is

freedom. Not to be a slave to custom or a slave to position. True freedom is true servitude. Al-

Azhar Al- Azhar represents the true religion in the view of friendship.

Friendship is when you love for your brother what you love for yourself. The

night is the most beautiful thing about it, as it is when a person finds peace with himself and reviews what he did during the day in order to correct the mistakes he made during the day so that he does

not fall into them again.

It is a period of stillness for the body and stillness for the soul and spirit so that he can review himself and stand before God in two rak'ahs, perhaps God will forgive him for what his hands have done during the day. Do

you prefer the night or the day?

Honestly, I love both because the day has its activities and the night has its own.

Yes, I do n't like traveling at all. I

mean, I like to stay and live in my country where I was raised. That's why, since I graduated, I haven't worked outside of Egypt.

But you travel a lot within Egypt?

Yes, within my country, within my country. And

country. And I do like to travel, but only if it's for Hajj or Umrah. ISIS,

ISIS, the one who deceives, is the religion of the Antichrist, the Antichrist of the end times.

Okay, Your Excellency, Doctor, we'll move on to your home now to get to know you as a person and your relationship with the family, just as we got to know you here in the clinic as a doctor.

We'd be honored.

[Music] [Music] What do you like to listen to, Your Excellency? [Music] In

the car? Well, I usually either listen to the general program to find out the news, or Radio Egypt, or the Holy Quran Radio.

Which sheikhs do you like to listen to on the Holy Quran Radio? The whole old generation: Sheikh Al-Husari, Al-Basit, Abdul Samad, Al-Banna.

[Music] I generally like the recitations of the whole old generation: Sheikh Muhammad Rifaat. Honestly, I rarely listen to songs that are played between The breaks in the

general program are old, yes, and most of them are the songs that come on, like, by chance, like, there's a song, for example, that you might listen to every now and then.

No, by God, back in high school and university, I loved listening to Umm Kulthum in the poems she used to recite, like the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam,

yes, and Al-Atlal and the things that are called Al-Atlal.

[Music] [Music] [ Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Our master, tell us about your daily program.

When do you wake up? How does the program work? It starts

with the Fajr prayer call, and sometimes a few moments before Fajr. I wake up and prepare for the Fajr prayer at the [Music] Al-Ashraf Mosque below my house.

Yes, and after the Fajr prayer, we recite the dhikr and litanies until sunrise.

Yes, which are the litanies of the Siddiqiyya Darqawiyya Shazuliya Sufi order.

Yes, until the sun rises, students from different neighborhoods, Al-Azhar students, and different nationalities gather to attend.

Meaning reading.

What is easy for me from the Quran, about a quarter of an hour, sometimes reading a tenth, sometimes a quarter, sometimes half a quarter, sometimes five verses, yes, with commentary and noting the different readings in it,

yes, but we are going in order, we are going in the order of the Quran, and we have completed it maybe three times, God willing.

Oh, and after we finish the Quran, we move on to what we are currently working on in explaining the Sunan of Imam al-Tirmidhi, yes,

then after that we pray two rak'ahs of Duha and I go home.

Sometimes I am hungry, so I break my fast, and sometimes I sleep a little so that I can get ready to go to the hospital or I have some operations

that I do before the clinic. Fasting will intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection, to save him from one of the

difficult situations on the Day of Resurrection when the records are distributed and when the deeds are weighed. What is the time for your daily Quranic recitation?

How many parts of the Quran do you read each day while driving your car? I don't

have a [music] I don't mean it's fixed, but it's no less than two parts.

So, you complete reciting the Quran every two weeks or every 10 days, depending on the time. I do my daily portion while driving because

time. I do my daily portion while driving because I don't have time to dedicate to the prayer.

In addition, I also pray with my daily portion during my prayers. And

we're at home. You must tell us about the family, about the children. How many children do you have?

God blessed me with a wife, my wife Zainab Abdel Aziz Amer. Dr. Abdel Aziz

Aziz Amer. Dr. Abdel Aziz Amer was a professor of Sharia, may God have mercy on him.

God blessed me with her, and she is considered my [music] aunt's daughter, also a relative.

Yes, and my father proposed to her for me without me seeing her, even though she is a relative. My

father said, "I will marry you to this girl." I told him, "I haven't seen her." He said, "Marry her even

girl." I told him, "I haven't seen her." He said, "Marry her even if you haven't seen her." [music] My father was determined that I had to marry her.

Yes, you interrupted my father.

I told him, "I will marry her because You want me to marry her? I

just didn't go with her, so I'll marry another woman!

[Laughs] Yes he laughed, but thank God, God blessed us and gave birth to five children, boys and girls.

Yes my eldest son, Muhammad, is currently an architect. My

daughter, Fatima, is currently pursuing a PhD in Dar Al-Ulum, specializing in grammar.

Yes and she is married to Sheikh Osama Al-Azhari.

Yes and then I have my son, Ahmed, in order. After that,

Ahmed Yousry, a law graduate (English) with a Master's degree in Business Administration from an American university. Then I have my daughter, Zeinab, a teaching assistant

in the Faculty of Commerce (English), specializing in Finance, and she is pursuing a Master's degree. She married Dr. Mahmoud Mahmoud Abdel-Sattar. Yes, an assistant lecturer in the Department of Tafsir (Quranic exegesis) at the Faculty of Fundamentals of Religion in Tanta. And my youngest daughter, what is she doing?

Yes, what is she doing at university? She's a

first-year student. How often do you all get together? The family

get together? The family doesn't have set times; everyone has their own schedule.

Of course, we all get together for holidays, but we're talking about daily schedules; everyone has their own schedule. Do

schedule. Do you have any hobbies or talents besides medicine and Islamic law?

I used to love drawing, and I loved calligraphy.

Yes, I wrote calligraphy. And

sports, I tried and played a lot of sports. I

played squash and swimming.

[Music] And in swimming, I mean, I did freestyle and press.

Yes, I used to do well in them, like, I'd come in second or third in competitions. Are

there people who have left a mark on your life? [Music]

My father was the first.

Yes, my father. I learned from him not to be two-faced. You

my father. I learned from him not to be two-faced. You

know what two-faced means? To say one thing while hiding another. Honesty,

yes. And at the same time, to be dutiful to parents. [Music] He was

parents. [Music] He was incredibly dutiful to my mother. My father was a kind, ordinary person. And he

ordinary person. And he loved the Prophet.

Yes, and he prayed a lot for the Prophet. I was born and became aware of this.

[Music] The first book my eyes fell on in our house after the Quran was this book for good deeds.

Yes, in praying for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. So my

father would constantly sit and read this book.

[Music] So we imbibed from him the love of praying for the Prophet and the love of visiting saints. He was

very much What takes us as children to visit our master [music] Hussein and Sayyida Zeinab, or rather, we were raised on this story [music].

Our master, after your long journey between medicine and Sharia, surely you came away with a summary [music] of this journey. Can you tell it to us in the

form of advice for the youth and future generations?

Yes, in the name of God, it is possible [music] to say that it granted you life or behavior.

Yes, patience [music] is beautiful. Yes,

life is a struggle. Yes,

we neither beg nor do we become self-sufficient [music].

Yes, striving without being a habit. Yes, perseverance and persistence [music].

Five things, counted on the fingers of the hand.

Okay, if we start by saying the first one, let's explain it in two words: Patience is beautiful. Patience is

beautiful. Every person goes through hardships in their life.

Yes, if they despair and do not persevere, they will miss out on many virtues [music]. Yes, and they will miss out on the fruit of their effort.

Yes, it is true that you do not reap the fruit unless you are patient. Okay,

and that is why patience is beautiful, because its beauty is that you reap the fruit. Okay, and its beauty

the fruit. Okay, and its beauty Secondly, our Lord loves the patient ones and rewards them without measure. That's one thing. The

second thing is that this life is a struggle, a struggle.

When you see the Prophet's life, his life is like a mother's, it is indeed our life is a struggle. Whoever wants to live a comfortable life has a wrong understanding of life.

Yes whoever wants to accumulate the pleasures of this world, its pleasures and desires, has a wrong understanding of life.

Yes, because God intended for us in life to struggle and strive. What did He create man for? In

the liver, enough liver is enough of struggle.

Yes, the third thing is that we don't beg from creation.

Yes it means, look, [music] one asks with dignity. Yes, he doesn't beg from anyone. Yes,

from anyone. Yes, nor does he covet the favors of people. [music]

Or it means we don't beg from anyone.

Yes, nor do we forget or become independent of God's favor. Yes, if

God favors us through the hands of people, they extend [music] to us without asking, and we don't accept it.

Yes, we accept it. And

then, striving without it, in order to continue working, you must not exhaust yourself. But

if you exhaust yourself, you will get sick.

Yes, and you will stop. The one who is cut off has neither land nor back. Yes, so you must strive in what God has placed you in without it.

Yes, if you strive without it, and this was the Prophet's Sunnah, he would have loved what? Extreme immersion in worship.

loved what? Extreme immersion in worship.

He would say, "I fast and do not break my fast, I pray and do not sleep, and I do not marry women." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,

marry women." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, rejected all of that. So, perseverance in that came.

Yes, perseverance is a very important act of worship. The most beloved deeds to God are those that are consistent, even if they are small, because that is what brings the result. This is

what makes you reap the rewards.

Yes, perseverance. O you who have believed, be patient and

perseverance. O you who have believed, be patient and persevere. That means be patient and persevere in patience.

persevere. That means be patient and persevere in patience.

Yes, this is from "and remain steadfast." That means look at how many are patient and steadfast. Steadfastness

means perseverance.

Yes, this is the way of life. By

God, if a person uses this way in his life, in any field, he will surely reap its rewards.

Yes, what upsets you the most? What

upsets me the most is when I find people who don't give the Prophet his due respect. What makes

you happiest? What, my Lord? When I finish reciting the Quran. When I finish reciting the Quran. And

Quran. And from inside his house, we learned that man is a surgeon, but he heals hearts. This was Dr. Yousry Gamm.
