First Hakim come out with millet.

It's narrated from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Earth CalU is the heaviest and weightiest verse that was revealed upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, in terms of its implications, and what it demanded from him,

was the verse in which Allah subhanaw taala commands the prophets allottee Salam festa Clem cannot omit. Be steadfast upon that which you have been commanded to do.

Be steadfast upon that which you have been commanded to do. steadfastness is to Kama.

It means to remain firm upon something,

it means to keep on doing what you've been told to do.

It comes from the root of the word Qian, which means sustained. So it's the idea of you came and you stood here, now continue standing.

And the Arabic language is a very vivid language. And so it's invoking the idea

that if you were told to stand somewhere, and after a little while, you lost some focus or concentration, you got distracted, you got bored. And then you start to kind of waver.

This is saying, no, no, keep standing. You were told to stand here you were posted here, keep standing don't get so easily distracted.

And then a little while later, maybe a little bit more. justifiably.

You start to fatigue,

you start to feel tired,

and your back hurts,

or your foot hurts.

But this verse is saying is to karma, the concept of visicom is saying, but you've been given a responsibility.

And I understand it's understandable that you've been standing there for a while. So now your back hurts and your foot is sore. But you still have a job to do.

You haven't been relieved of your post and your your responsibility. So keep standing.

And some time later, there might even be another need.

You might be needed elsewhere. Somebody wants your help with something else, somebody is asking you to do something else. And those things are maybe also in the periphery of your responsibility. Maybe you do have some sense of commitment there. So then that becomes the ideal excuse.

But again, the verse is saying, no, no, you've been posted somewhere, you've been told to do something, you have not been relieved of your post yet, continue to stem.

And that's the concept of VISTA karma.

And that's what makes it so challenging.

That's why there's such a profound reward. mentioned for it in the Quran, where Allah subhanaw taala he talks about and I'll mention the reward first, tonight, Zulu Allah, He will melodica to

that waves upon waves of angels, 1000s and 1000s of angels, descending from the heavens coming down for the sake of this person and welcoming this person into the afterlife. And they are congratulating and they are consoling that person comforting that person's soul. A lot to have who do not fear what lies ahead. Well,

and don't grieve what you leave behind. Well, I wish you and congratulate congratulations, Bill Jannetty lets you continue to atone

for the paradise that you were promised all along, not only out welcome, Phil haga to dunya, waffleh Hera, we were your friends and allies. We looked after you we were with you throughout the life of this world.

What Phil Asad, Accra, and we will continue to be with you in the hereafter. When a comfy hammer tester he unfolds so come and reserve for you in Paradise is what ever your heart could desire. Welcome Fiamma to their own and everything you could have ever asked for Newsela Minerva, photo rocking. And all of this is a gift from the most forgiving and the Most Merciful. Such a profound reward. But who is that reward promise for in the Lizzie Nakamura Boon Allah. The people who said that Allah is our Lord, Allah is our rub. Allah is our master, our Creator, our Sustainer our provider,

through muster calm,

but then they were steadfast.

They lived by that they stuck to that they stood at their post. And they did not waver. They did not falter.

When a Sahabi of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a companion, may Allah be pleased with him, comes to the prophets a lot. He said, I'm coolly Kalimantan

on Messenger of Allah told me some very succinct, give me some very brief, concise, succinct advice, that I may memorize and internalize and commit myself to and this very brief, but powerful piece of advice will take me to paradise.

And the prophets a lot if someone told him beautifully, say a man to Villa, I have believed in Allah through my stuck him

and then learn to be steadfast.

And the example of steadfastness that I wanted to present here, and what that steadfastness that remaining firm, remaining constant

in terms of one's responsibility to illustrate it, so that it becomes a little bit more relatable and also to illustrate how it will be very challenging at times, and there will be a strong pull in different directions.

I wanted to reflect on the Treaty of her day BIA and that particular moment.

So the Treaty of today via

occurs in the sixth year of Hyjal. This is 19 years, not 19 days.

19 years after the mission of the prophets, Allah ism began.

Let's take a quick survey of what's occurred in 19 years. There were 13 years of brutality, oppression, persecution.

People were murdered.

In the streets of Mecca. People were tortured in broad daylight. People were kicked out of their homes and exiled.

People were they were stripped

of their possessions in their belongings. They were disowned by their families and their tribes.

And ultimately, it culminates in an assassination attempt against the prophet to lobbyism himself.

And they endured this for 13 years, to the point where they the Muslims relocated and went to Al Madina, Munawwara

and over the last six years, what has happened, numerous multiple attacks against Medina,

the enemy has come all the way to the gates, the Battle of the Trench, they've started they have starved them, and seeds them and killed them.

massacres occurred during this time,

beaten my own and so many others.

And finally, after these 19 years, and if we just take a moment to really sit and think and reflect on it.

Go back to what we were talking about before. You've been given a responsibility you've been posted.

For your for your responsibility. You've been given a job, stand here.

Have they not fulfilled the obligation? 19 years.

They stood firm they stood tall 19 years

and sacrifice so much.

Life and loved ones and home and family and everything in between.

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us a habit of the Allahu Anhu his companions that I need to see the Kaaba. I long to visit the house of Allah.

We're going for Omaha.

Even though at that time, Mecca is in the the Mecca and almancil Haram and the Kaaba is in the hands of the enemy.

But the Prophet salallahu Salam says that Allah has shown me a dream

that I am at the Kaaba and I am worshipping Allah subhanaw taala I'm making tau off, I need to go.

And so they pack up and they head out in the State of Iran from goon Khalifa going, reciting the Toby Allah big Allahu Allah big. Going to perform Amara.

Obviously we know that they are stopped they are blocked from entering into Mecca, at the place of her day via

and negotiations go on for days. It ultimately culminates within what we know as a treaty of her Davia but this is the moment of the test.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, if they offer me peace, I will take it in Salah Hooni who saw

if they offer me peace, I will take the peace.

And when they sit down to negotiate terms, all the terms are lopsided.

They are insisting on terms that completely favor them

and actually are to the detriment of the Muslim community.

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam keeps waving them off, one after another waving them through and he keeps on going forward.

And the Sahaba are the Allahu Taala and whom are confused, they're conflicted.

Go back to the analogy. We've been standing here for 19 years. My back hurts my foot hurts.

How much longer do I need to keep standing here?

I've done everything I've been told. I've sacrificed everything I had and then more.

How much longer?

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says and then a big lucky, willing to die Yanni Allah whoever that I am the Prophet of God and Allah will not waste me. Allah will not abandon me. Allah will not forsake me.

And the treaty goes through

the prophets a lot he tells us a hobbit Radi Allahu Anhu during the State of Iran, the only way to come out of the state of the Haram is actually offered to fulfill

The ritual the Umrah

so they're in the State of Iran what do we do here Rasul Allah and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explains a failure certain from a ceremonial hottie. The Quran speaks about this, that you are not able to go forward. So what you do now is you basically sacrifice the animals that you had brought as a sacrifice and offering to Allah subhanaw taala you shave your head as you would have if you were completing your Amara, and you come out of the State of Iran and we're going home and then the treaty had included that you can come back a year later arbitrarily. What does the year do was it accomplish we're already all the way here nope. But they insisted you can only come back a year

later for three days and then perform comrade that time and the prophets Allah they said that we will make up for this aamra At that time, I'm gonna to Allah, I will look at the the makeup ombre.

And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells the Companions, sacrifice your animals, shave your heads, we're done.

The Sahaba are just in such a daze.

It's such a challenging moment. Again, go back to the analogy.

But I've been standing here this whole time. And you're telling me I gotta stand for a little longer.

When is enough.

And they just, they didn't disobey, but they were just working through they were processing everything. And that caused a little bit of delay.

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam had never seen a delay on their behalf. And so he was also puzzled by this.

And then very famously, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam goes to his tent, our mother, the Mother of the Believers on selama, or the Allahu taala. Anna was in the tent of the Prophet to lobby some. And

he looked very, the Prophet sallallahu some seemed like he was very conflicted by something. And when she asked him,

the prophets a lot, he said, I've never seen them even delay or hesitate even for the slightest bit.

I don't know what to make of this. And she said, Yeah, rasool Allah, this is a lot for them to process.

But that spiritual muscle memory remains in place. If you start to wrap things up, don't naturally jump forward, and they'll come to assist you and they'll start all doing the same thing as well. And that's exactly what happened when the prophets a lot even went outside and said, line up the animal time for the sacrifice and cutting of the hair, and then all the Sahaba started doing it as well. And they wrapped up everything.

And they started to head back.

I should mention that prior to this moment, at the time of the negotiation of the treaty, or might have been a Cadabra, the Allahu Taala and who, whose personality was a little bit more brash. He was one who was sometimes willing to say what maybe others were reluctant or hesitant to say.

He was a little more outspoken and he had that relationship with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam as well.

And so he had even gone to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a listener Allahu Allah button, Elisa, could Lana fill Jana waka clock and fitna

that are we not on the truth and there are upon falsehood. If we can to get if we throw out if we ignore this opportunity for peace, and we decide to fight them, and everyone dies, we go to Paradise and they go to hell.

So then why do we concede anything to them?

And that's when the prophets Allah, Islam gave the response, I am the messenger of God and Allah will not forsake me, Allah will not abandon me.

And as they started to depart Amara, the Allahu taala, and who says in the narration of Behati, that I immediately felt very embarrassed.

I felt embarrassed of the way that I had behaved and acted

about the fact that I had spoken out.

And so I was the prophets, a lot of sin would travel out the back of the army to keep track of everyone to make sure no one got left behind. And he said, I was hanging back even further than the Prophet told him because I didn't want to be in his line of sight because I was so embarrassed of myself.

And he says, I saw the prophets Allah do some writing his animal and then he lowered his head for some time and that's usually the physical kind of signs of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam receiving revelation.

And I immediately felt very fearful. But then I thought to myself that I'm not important enough for Allah to reveal Quran about

and when the prophets a lot of some after some time he lifted up his head

he called for me

says Aina Omar

wears their armor. And he said I wanted my soul to leave my body in that moment.

And he says when I came to the prophets a lot, he said them and I said I'm here yet rasool Allah still not making eye contact too embarrassed.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said I wanted to tell you before I told anyone else.

Allah has just revealed in the Quran. In nafdac, Malika Fatima Bina, We have granted you open victory, a clear decisive victory.

And this particular moment,

the scholars explained from this thermophore Saloon, the MaHA dethrone they explained from this particular moment

that there was a test here

for all of the companions of the prophets, Allah Lisa.

They have done their job.

More so than any of us can ever claim having done our job. The Sahaba are the ultimate role model when Latina tuber are gonna be son, we are supposed to follow their example. They did their job site. They did their job with excellence.

And this was the moment where the question came, how much more how much longer? What more.

And Allah subhanaw taala demanded from them.

One more act of obedience,

of resilience, of steadfastness

that what got you to this point so far?

was some Jana Wattana.

What got you to this point so far, was obeying Allah and obeying the messenger of Allah salatu salam, that's what got you here. This is a moment where the math may be not may not be adding up to you.

Where your mind your brain is telling you, we've done everything. There's no reason for us to give in, quote, unquote, anymore.

But Allah and His Messenger salatu salam are telling you to do something. So obey and follow. Listen, remain steadfast, keep doing what got you to this point.

Because you never know around which bend which corner victory awaits the Promise of Allah when it comes? We don't know. We know that it is coming. It's not a question of if it's a question of when.

It's not a question of if it's a question of when. But that knowledge of when

the Promise of Allah arrives when the victory from Allah comes, that knowledge has been withheld from us.

And that's the test of our sincerity.

So they were told that once again, trust what got you here, and the moment that they were willing to put their faith and trust once again, they continued to put their faith and trust in Allah and His Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they lowered their heads, and they said, Samana, Wattana, and they stood firm, and they continued doing their job.

Then Allah subhanaw taala immediately revealed enough attack Malika Fatah Movia. Now the victory is yours. And from that point on forward,

the ball store started to roll in the other direction. And from there came victory after victory after victory, labor for tomoka, one after another. And Islam spread all throughout the Arabian Peninsula and even beyond, within the lifetime of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

And so, this is generally speaking, as is the case with the Quran with the life of the Prophet salallahu Salam. This is generally general guidance from Allah subhanaw taala. about something we need to take into consideration in anything and everything.

This can relate and pertain to just our personal individual obligations in the religion, remaining steadfast with our prayer with our salah,

remaining steadfast with our morals and our ethics, remaining steadfast in terms of our ethical responsibilities of honesty and integrity, and decency and righteousness.

But this is also a reminder that and I decided to speak on this here today and then connect it to obviously the current situation that is continuing with our brothers and sisters and that was the massacre, the murder

of our innocent brothers and sisters, because

I'm hearing the sentiment and maybe many of us are also sensing it and feeling it as well.

Oh, there's that there is that sense of fatigue that is setting in.

There's a sense of exhaustion and fatigue. And at a human level, it's understandable. I'm talking about on our part.

They have this beautiful resilience and patience and strength, but I'm talking about on our part.

at a human level, it's understandable that there's only so much one person can witness and endure.

But our religious responsibility, our ethical, moral responsibility, our responsibility as the servants of Allah, and as followers of the prophets, Allah the salam, and as Brothers and Sisters in Islam, that responsibility demands and it necessitates that this is that moment where I've been told to stand here, and now my back starts to hurt a little,

and my foot is starting to get sore.

But I still have a job to do. We cannot relent. We cannot be exhausted, we cannot be tired, we cannot be fatigued, we cannot give up. We can't lose hope. Think about how and again, the Sahaba never would have even thought about this. But just for a moment, put, I'll put myself there in that situation, because I'm a weak person, as compared to the sahaba. In that moment, think about it.

I left my home.

I had to give up my tribe and my people.

I was tortured and beaten, and chased out of my own home.

And I've been living a life of poverty, destitution, I do not know where my next meal is going to come from. I barely have enough clothes to cover myself properly. I've been homeless for years.

And at that time, after all that, the prophets a lot he sent me saying,

Just trust me. We're going to give him here, you're going to pack your bags, and we're going back home, we are not going to fulfill what we came here to do.

Think about how difficult that moment would have been.

But what was required of them was continue to do your job. Do not lose hope and the Promise of Allah.

You cannot say at this moment that when again, is there even any promise?

is the hope of alive and coming?

Is that even real?

That would have been a critical error. A critical error that the companions of the prophets, Allah some did not make, because they were who they were. That's why they're the the exemplary generation.

They did not lose hope. They continue to believe they remained firm and steadfast. And that's when the Promise of Allah subhanaw taala came. So in this particular moment that we find ourselves in,

we might feel overwhelmed, we might feel fatigued,

we might God forbid, ask Allah make dua to Allah.

To protect you from this, I need to ask Allah to protect me from hopelessness, because that is the death of the heart. Do not lose hope in this moment. But we have to remain firm we have to remain steadfast and know that the Promise of Allah subhanaw taala is true.
