And that is the greatest victory that this OMA has ever been granted.

And the battle of butter
is, as I just commented is a very, very significant moment from the life of the prophet to Lolly, Silla. What tells you everything you need to know about that moment
is that there is a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari in which the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he asked Gibreel Alehissalaam

of the angels? Who came down to the battlefield the brother? So the angels of God, the melodica, who came down to the battlefield in the in the Battle of Brother, what is their status amongst all the other angels?
How do all the other angels view those angels that took part in the Battle of butter?
And Djibouti rallying Salem responded by saying that they are considered the best of the angels, the most noble of the angels
and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said the same for us. The same for us, meaning that the Sahaba the Muslims, the Sahaba, the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam 313, who participated in battle of butter are considered as hobbled but then they are considered the best of all the companions. They are considered the most noble and prestigious of all the companions. Because of how significant and powerful this moment was. Allah subhanaw taala tells us in Surah Ali Imran,

And when you turned to the believers, and you said a lady yet fear
that they were feeling overwhelmed, they looked out at the enemy that outnumbered them three to one. They looked at this enemy that was armed to the teeth, armored from head to toe, sword and shields and bows and arrows and spears.
And you meanwhile the Muslims were there some Muslims didn't even have shoes on.
Most actually did not have a weapon. They were looking for sticks that they could hold in their hand.
And they were standing there out number 321 Completely outmatched.
And some of them, were starting to get nervous shaking.
I mean, you're staring death in the face. There's nothing cowardly about that. That's just sensibility. This is logic
and the prophets, allotting some turn to them.
He said, pull yourselves together. And then yet fear
is not enough for you. And you will come Rob buco. Your Lord is coming to your aid. Allah is with you.
And how is Allah going to be with you here in this battle? Be Thalassa T I live in Milan, Milan at Monza Lin, Allah is sending down 3000 angels from the heavens. But

You know there are bigger Illa who they got to the army of God, this victory today belongs to Allah. This victory was given to you today by Allah. And Imam Razi Rahim, Allahu Taala explained
something very powerful. It's a classic question, right? Because the Quran says either around the shape and your hula hoop. Farrakhan when God intends something to be then he says Be and it is that's it? Could Allah have not just commanded the enemy to just fall dead immediately in the battlefield? And they would have all just fallen dead and it would have been over? Absolutely. Then why did Allah send angels into the battlefield? And he said, to demonstrative ly, to to demonstrate to establish the victory of eemaan. Over Cofer, the victory of light over darkness of truth over falsehood to demonstrate it by sending down these remarkable beings of light these creatures made of
divine light these angels into the battlefield for the reboot focal are now coming home what removal Lebanon that's a strike down the enemy in the battlefield.
Because of what that would show and what that would prove and what that would establish very similarly, just to kind of compare, you know and contrast in Surah TL, and file surah number eight, Allah subhanaw taala also talks about this moment, where Allah subhanaw taala says, Come on, Raja caribou comin, bakeable Huck, waiting for the communal meaning ALLAH carry Han. Allah made you get out of your home, he forced you out of your home. But there is a day's journey away from Medina. He made you leave your home, go out there into the middle of nowhere. And there were a group of the believers that we're not sure about this at this moment. And that's a very human emotion and
reaction. You judge the Luna can feel happy about the matter. begginer got under my user Puna Elon motiva Holmium drone, they were very uneasy and nervous, even though they knew what is right and wrong.

all wise. So this is the battle of butter. And this is the turning point where Allah subhanaw taala showed us that light always prevails over darkness, the truth will always prevail over falsehood. What is right, what is correct, will always come out on top at the end. And what we have to learn the lesson is that the Sahaba when they were going to the battlefield, they were shaking, they were nervous, they were anxious. The Quran talks about this. But the moment they arrived in the battlefield, they were willing to go and stand there for what was right. No matter how daunting and overwhelming the odds were. That serenity washed over them, that calmness and tranquility from Allah
came over them. And Allah subhanaw taala literally tells us in the next verse, is you Hershey kimono
means that they such a serenity and a calmness washed over them, that they started dozing off and falling asleep standing in the battlefield,
standing,
falling asleep or standing
and then falling asleep while standing in the battlefield.
Like it hasn't even possible. I could probably pull it off. But how's that even possible? But that's for different reasons. I can pull it off for different reasons. Right. But why no see all seriousness, right? How is that possible? How was that possible? That's how powerful the peace and tranquility from Elias. Meanwhile, you could be lying in the softest bed in the most comfortable home possible,
unable to sleep and rest. Because there's no peace and tranquility. Because a peace and tranquility has always been found solely and only in devotion and dedication to Allah to the Messenger of Allah and to the truth.
If you tell the truth, they always say right, you told the truth you can sleep well at night. No matter what the consequences you told the truth. There were some tough consequences but you know you'll sleep good at night. You lied. Inside Out backwards forwards you lived your way out of a situation. Okay, there were no immediate consequences.
But you lose that tranquility. You lose that sleep
And that's what Allah is teaching us here in the Quran. May Allah subhanaw taala keep us committed to the truth.
