00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			from the lower salatu salam ala rasulillah.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			In the previous session,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:51
			we were talking about the pre the last two sessions, actually, we were talking in detail about pre
Islamic Arabian society. So what were some of the conditions that were present at the time of the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam his birth? And so therefore, what were some of the circumstances that he
was dealing with? What were some of the challenges that he faced, and it also allows us to further
appreciate the work that he was able to do?
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:41
			Last time, in talking about pre Islamic Arab society, we specifically talked about the religious
condition, the spiritual state of pre Islamic Society at that time. What I wanted to talk about
today's a bit of an extension of that, but nevertheless, it's also I feel like an independent topic
and subject. What I first wanted to lead off with what I wanted to start off with was a narration
that talks about what was a specific dynamic, it mentions a very specific dynamic of that spiritual
state of the people before Islam in that region and at that time, and I didn't get to this last time
but I wanted to start off with this. abou Raja Allah tala de Remo, rhodiola more Anu he says bother
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:52
			una fin je Leah de la alumna Jean Hedren Gemma Anna just what I mean to Robin, would you not be shot
for her labneh Holly from moto snobby, he says that
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:33
			before Islam good enough is jeconiah in the days in the time on the era of ignorance isn't a legit
hydron if we could not find a an idol. If we couldn't find an actual structured idle a constructive
idle to worship Gemma Anna, just what I mean to Robin, what we would do is we would get together a
bunch of dirt, we would literally go out into the field like just imagine stepping out here. And we
gathered together all the dirt and all the little stones and little things that we could find the
debris just lying around, we would just gather a bunch of dirt together. And we would just kind of
build it into a little bit of a mound, would you not be shocked. And then we'd find the nearest goat
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:58
			that we could find. And we would milk the goat on top of that little mound that we had built for 11
hours a day, we milk the goat right on top of that little dirt mound from latos Navy. And then what
we would do is then we'd start doing tow off of it, we literally start doing tow off of it. That
tells you two things. And I wanted to talk about this because we need to understand this. The first
thing it tells you the obvious thing that it tells you is how
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:48
			bad the spiritual state of the people was at that time. How badly deteriorated their spiritual
condition was before Islam, that they had reached a point in time, in a place where their spiritual
fulfillment was literally in this in this form, they would they would spiritually fulfilled
themselves by just gathering a bunch of dirt together milking a goat on it, and then start doing so
often worshipping this dirt with goat's milk on it. Like just think of that. So that's the obvious
observation, that that's how bad and how deteriorated their situation was. Having said that, at the
same time, that tells us something, if we look a little bit deeper, if we're willing to look past
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:00
			the surface, that tells you something else. That's very interesting. And so what he's describing
here is the predicament of the common person, the common person. And so what that tells you is
something very interesting. See,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:15
			a real the real challenge. And the worst situation possible for a person to be spiritually in is
when a person absolutely has no concern, no motivation, no inclination towards any type of
spirituality at all.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:59
			You have said when somebody is so far and distant from any type of, of emaan, where they don't even
feel the need to pray to anything to seek help from anything that a person becomes the human being
become so arrogant, where it's like forget about what they worship and how they worship. He doesn't
even feel the need to worship. He doesn't feel the need to worship. All right. That's the worst
possible condition for a human being. What we're seeing in the common people of that time is yes,
this is it's it's very sad. They're stating their condition that they would worship a bunch of dirt
and they would milk goat on top of dirt and he would worship it. That's really really sad. But you
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			know
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:37
			But that still shows you at the end of the day, it shows you that these people were still desperate.
They were desperate, they were looking for something. Now the problem is, is that they didn't know
exactly what they were looking for. They didn't know how to look for it, they didn't know where to
access it. But it does not change the fact that they were still somehow some ways spiritually
motivated, spiritually connected. That that that's something that you have to learn, you have to
observe that you have to make note of that, because that plays a major role in the message in the
Tao of the prophets a lot. And that's why the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam in the initial stages
		
00:05:37 --> 00:06:15
			of his preaching in his message, who were the vast majority of people that were coming forth, were
the people that were accepting Islam and latching on to the message that the prophets a lot of them
brought, it was the lower part of society. The lower part of society like like Musa like excuse me,
new Haile Salam was told in the Quran by his people what tabernacle or The Loon. What toboggan, or
The Loon these very lonely people follow you, you know and even the operation made a demand to the
prophets a lot. He said them at one time, they said, you're out for us all the time. You want us to
listen to you, you want us to believe in you. You want us to get on board with you. Listen, the very
		
00:06:15 --> 00:07:00
			first issue we got is that you surrounded yourself with people that aren't that appealing socially.
And so it does not be fit us as leaders of our tribe and the wealthiest and most powerful men in
Arabia. It is not be fit as it's not suitable. It's not suitable for us to associate with these
people. And at that time, what did Allah subhanaw taala tell the prophets a lot a Salaam in the
Quran was big enough circumambulating the ruler above and below that when you read una vida
illustrata Totem, tie yourself down. Literally tie yourself down to these people who do what they
remember Allah subhanaw taala morning and evening. All right, you know what all they want out of
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:34
			this life is to please Allah will not die do I NACA on home, don't let your eyes be distracted from
these people. Meaning don't overlook these people don't look beyond these people. You know, I always
say you look right through somebody, like man, I walked up there and he just it's like he like
looked right through me. It's like I was invisible. He didn't even see me. Right? That's an
expression in Arabic. What I do I knock on him. Don't let your eyes like avert these people. Meaning
don't overlook the don't look straight through these people. Don't treat them like they're
invisible. Don't do that. Well, how do I Nakano to read to see nothing here to do. Why? Because if
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:49
			you do that, then that means the only thing you're interested in is the vanity is the adornment is
the the superficial material nature of this world. That's what you're interested in, if you are
willing to overlook people of the caliber of Bilal and hubub.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:56
			Alright, so don't overlook the doozy. Nothing had to do with it. I'm an alpha knuckle Baba and the
kena whatever.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			Allah subhanaw taala says, do not follow these people will add to them and
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:41
			what to reducing that and hire to do that. Then Allah subhanaw taala tells them don't follow these
people whose hearts are devoid of the remembrance of Allah. And what did they do? They follow their
own desires, what can I move forward, and everything that they're doing is in vain. So this is a
very interesting dynamic. And I wanted to specifically mention this and talk about this, that you
have to appreciate the fact that yes, these people, their condition was very bad. And these people
were very, very lost, no doubt about the fact that they were very, very lost. But it does not change
the fact that these people were still looking for an answer. You know, and even in our society
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:21
			today, in our day, our efforts, in our day, our efforts, you'll find that the people who are looking
for some type of an answer the people who bounced from church to church, the people who bounced from
cult, the cult, religion to religion, those are the people who often come and end up accepting
Islam. But the people who conduct themselves who live their lives with this arrogance of I have no
need of this spiritual attachment. I have no need to try to attach myself emotionally to a higher
being. And they say things like religion is for the weak minded, organized religion is for weak
minded people, those types of people, they are more often than not, they're not very receptive to
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:56
			our dogma. And forget about our though there could be a lot of shortcomings in us we might not be
doing our job right. Even when those type of people read the Koran. What do they come up with? They
come up with objections, they come up with errors that they find him to put on, but when somebody is
on the search for truth, and that person reads the code and his life is instantly changed. That guy
can't sleep at night. You know, and ask him Xia ask anyone that's in this line of work and they'll
tell you that we get we get calls at two and two in the morning. We'll get emails and if you look at
the time of the email that email be time stamped at 3am
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			will get messaged online like in the middle of the night.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:09
			And what is somebody saying somebody is somebody messaging us in the middle of night? 2am 3am? What
are they saying? saying, I read the Koran. I need to talk to somebody now.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:46
			When can I come and accept Islam, I was visiting a community as a guest speaker one time in the
Midwest region, I believe it was somewhere in Kansas. And it's very small community, small Masjid.
And literally, somebody calls one of the community members whose phone number was listed inside of
the mustard on the bulletin board. So this gentleman must have come some random time during the
middle of the day. It's a very small mustard, small community, nobody's there. It's not like this
people walking in and out all day long. So he just picked up the first number that he's on the
bulletin board, one of the board members. He calls him up late at night, like at midnight, and says
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			I want to come and except to some right now.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:23
			And it's like, well, nobody's there right now, when's the first chance I can get to come and except
to Sam. So they said, Okay, we're going to be praying the morning prayer at 6am. I was there as a
guest speaker. So I was going for so often fudging and going to give a thought that afterwards is
this gentleman, this guy shows up 6am in the morning, to a machine why I need to accept a song. So
you have to appreciate that fact that this was that condition where they felt the need for
spirituality, where they would worship dirt, if that's all they could find. If the only thing they
could figure out was to worship a rock, they were doing it? Yes, very bad, very reprehensible, not
		
00:11:23 --> 00:12:03
			acceptable. But at the same time, appreciate the fact that these people are still searching for the
truth. And that's exactly what the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam did, when he when he started
preaching to them. So having said that, we talked a lot in detail about the spiritual condition and
the spiritual state of pre Islamic Arab society. What I wanted to talk about today was a very
specific dynamic that was existent at that time. And it was a very, very, extremely small minority
to the point where it's not even you couldn't even classify it as a group or a demographic, it was
literally individuals. And that was, was the true form of religion, the worship of one a lot of
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:42
			their worship a wonderla. Was that completely lost? Was that completely lost at that time? for the
masses? Generally speaking, yes. But there were individuals who helped who held on to a dino Hanif.
All right, the true being the middle of Ibrahim, the path of Ibrahim, the religion of Ibrahim, the
faith of Ibrahim, they held on to that there were a few people, and they were literally known as
alpha and alpha. They were known as an alpha, which is a plural of the word Hanif and even the word
Hanif is a very interesting word in the Arabic language, there is oftentimes when you read
translations, you'll find it's a very difficult word people have a lot of difficulty translating
		
00:12:42 --> 00:13:21
			this word. And that's why when you read different or on translations, you'll literally find like six
different translations of the word. So what does the word mean? The best way to understand the
meaning of this word is when you look at some of the root of the word and especially some of the
derivatives of the word. How was this word used by pre Islamic Arabs? Way, way back in the day, the
ancient Arabs, how did they use this word? So the ancient Arabs, they would say and if our original
if they will say Roger long enough, which means you you know what pigeon toed means pigeon toed,
pigeon toed is when you don't normally when people walk their feet point outwards. pigeon toed means
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:57
			that when somebody walks their feet point slightly inwards, alright, it's not like a physical
deformity, but it's kind of awkward looking, right? It's a very distinct way of walking. So that
means pigeon toed. But what I want you to picture is somebody whose feet are very severely turned
in, not just simply pigeon toed, all right, but severely turned in to the point where it's like a
birth defect, like almost like a physical disability, when a child is born, feet are completely
curved, or turned in, almost like clogged in, alright. And that's something that occasionally
happens with children, especially these days, they have a lot of ways that they can repair that and
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:27
			make that better, through different, you know, shoes and surgery later on, and things like that. But
nevertheless, in olden times before they came up with a lot of these corrective procedures, it was
very, it wasn't very common, but you would see it every now and then you would see somebody with
their feet very, very much turned in. So Roger would refer to that person whose feet were turned in.
Why because when somebody normally walks their feet pointed outwards, right and left, right and
left. But when this man walks, his feet point in which direction
		
00:14:29 --> 00:15:00
			towards the center towards the middle, so Rajan and I have literally meant this. The man who walked
constantly walks towards the middle, the man who constantly centers, he walks towards the middle, he
stays centered, because his feet don't point outwards, they point inwards. So he walks towards the
center so they've gone Rajan and similarly even in classic and modern Arabic, the word for a faucet.
The word for a faucet or a water tap is Hanafi. hanafy means water tap or water.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:41
			faucet. All right, the reason for that again is because imagine you have a tank of water like you
see here right outside of the image of the of the huge water tank that says city of Irving on the
real big right? So you have these huge water tanks. Alright, so size of this room. All right, but
imagine you have only one faucet or one tap on the outside of it. What does that faucet or that tab
do to all of this water contained in this big ol container? What does it do? It? streamlines it, it
focuses it. That's why the closest that we can get to the the understanding of the word and Eve is
that it means focused, someone who is focused, someone who is constantly focused, doesn't look right
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:56
			doesn't look left. And that's why in this application of Ibrahim Alayhi Salam that is actually one
of the other at least if it is one of the openings applications within the prayer within the slot in
the widget to what he led for us Mr. Watson somato
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:31
			honey fun Hannifin, that I have turned myself completely wholeheartedly. I've dedicated and devoted
myself completely to the one who originated the heavens and the earth brought the heavens and the
earth into existence from nothingness, honey fun and I am focused, I am centered I will not be
distracted, I will stay focused on Allah. Alright, so that's what Hanif means. So the there were a
few very, very literally like a dozen or so individuals in pre Islamic Arabian society at the time
of the birth of the province of some who were known as
		
00:16:32 --> 00:17:10
			the Quran refers to them as an Hernan found the provinces and called them and we even have evidence
we even had narrations that even the pre Islamic Arabs, ironically would call them when I thought,
which is very funny because they're giving them a very praiseworthy title. But yet we're not
comfortable with these people's beliefs, but still had no objection no problem calling them as
Hanif. So it's very ironic. It's really interesting. But nevertheless, these people were known as
openiv. Allah subhanaw taala refers to them. machinae Brahimi yahudi. Alana scillonian. Well, I can
gather hanifin muslimah. Deborah, he was he was the original Hanif. All right, Paul satola. Say that
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:51
			Allah has spoken the truth. For Toby Omen letter, Ibrahima hanifin. Follow the way of Ibrahim the
path of faith of Ibrahim Han even focused, what am I gonna mean a machete King. All right. And he he
was not from amongst those people who associate partners with a lot. So they were known as a pinata.
Now there were there were many of them, there's a list of them that probably extends a little bit
beyond a dozen or so of them. But there were a few of them who were very noteworthy. And I wanted to
go ahead and talk about some of them today, because I'm only gonna highlight about four or five of
them who actually interacted with the prophets of Allah hottie sent them in some way or another,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:18:33
			because there was a very interesting interaction. Why? Because these are the last few, like,
literally, you know, just the last few glimpses, the last few glimpses like sparks, of tawheed
present in the world at that time, because remember, Christianity has been polluted. Christianity,
by that time point in time has already been predominantly polluted, in the sense of the belief in
Trinity, all right, accepting Jesus as the Son of God, this is very prevalent at that time amongst
Christians. A Christian that is a true Morehead is very, very, extremely rare. In fact, those
Christians would just be they were actually categorized under the law because they didn't even
		
00:18:33 --> 00:19:09
			follow the predominant the popular Christian doctrine at that time. All right, in similar similarly,
same in terms of the people of the Jewish faith at that time, Jews of that time, majority of the
Jews at that time were no longer following the law, by the letter of the word by that point in time,
it was rabbinical law that was at that the tradition of the of the Jewish religion at that time, so
they were more So following the rabbi's than they were the letter of the law of the total. In fact,
the Torah they were, they were just told, don't worry about what the Torah says you don't understand
the Torah, you don't have the capacity to understand the total, just do what we're telling you to
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:49
			do. And Allah tells us, what were they telling them to do? You had infernal kalama dairy. When I saw
how the mother came up, they were literally changing things around moving things around, they were
altering the word that the message of the Torah itself. So based on that observation, these were
very, very few last little sparks and glimpses of tawheed presence in the world at that time. And
what's very interesting is some of them when they came into contact with the prophets, a lot of a
sudden, even before his message or after his message initiated, all right, they believed in him, or
they saw the signs of the coming prophet in him. And so they they at least expressed their desire to
		
00:19:49 --> 00:20:00
			want to follow him if they were still around when the message became public, or the revelation
arrived, or if they were still allowed around. By the time revelation came the day except
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:36
			assignment they follow the profits a lot. Hmm. But there were some of them very interestingly, who
while they were sure they were still holding on to that essence of tawheed they still had enough
arrogance within them to where they could not get on board with the profits a lot he sent me this
message that was asking way too much. That was asking too much. All right, like Alright, fine. I'm
okay with this concept of one god find that makes a lot of sense, but I'm not gonna listen to you. I
can't listen to you. All right, because I think I know more than you, or whatever their condition
their situation was. So I wanted to go ahead and just briefly highlight some of these individuals.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:41
			The first one amongst them is a bit of a new fade. They've been a bit new fade.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:24
			Even as harp narrates from the the it's not that goes back to a snap into the bucket. Or the Allahu
taala and humor. She says, la a to say the nama newfane Muslim bajo Illa lol Kaaba. She says that I
saw the Zayed bin I'm gonna be newfane leaning against the Kaaba. So you're sitting there in the
huddle, leaning against the Kaaba, you're kuliah Marshall crush, and he's addressing the Quran is
the Kaaba, this is where everybody's congregating. And this is where the leaders of the parish would
meet. This is where they would have been another way their meeting as well. City Hall was here. And
so he says, Yeah, Marshall parish is a very old, wise learned man amongst them. To them. He was just
		
00:21:24 --> 00:22:01
			an eccentric old man. You know, when you have somebody who's very knowledgeable, he's very wise.
Everybody respects him very respected in the community. But he's just kind of eccentric. He just has
a few eccentricities. Everybody just says, Yeah, that's kind of his thing. Just leave him alone. All
right. So it just this is an eccentric old man, but nevertheless, he's very respected in the
community. So he says yamashiro Quraysh. Oh Society of Quraysh will have enough su zaidan b a d. I
swear by the one who has AIDS life in his hands. I swear by the one who holds aids life in his hand.
So he's swearing By Allah, his name is Avi Singh. I swear by the one who holds my life in his hand.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:47
			My husband I do mean Kuma Allah Dini Ibrahim, Heidi. He says none of you is truly upon the religion
of Ibrahim, except for myself. Other than myself, none of you on the religion to religion of
Ibrahim. So she says I remember him saying these things even before the prophets a lot. He said them
received divine revelation started preaching to the people. He threw me a pool and then he would say
Allahumma he would sit there in the huddle and he would make dua, he would say Allahu Allah, in Nilo
Alamo, humble Buju he about to copy. He would say, Oh Allah, if I knew what is the most beloved way
of worshipping you, like if I knew what type of worship you approve of you love the most. But you
		
00:22:47 --> 00:23:26
			could be I would worship you in that way. in that manner. I would do it. Oh Allah, but I don't know.
I'm just trying to figure this out. There's literally very little left of your true message here
today in the world today. And so I don't even know what you want from your law. But if I knew I
would do it if I knew I would do it when I can Nila but I don't know. I just don't know I don't know
where to access it where to get it from. So my yesterday Allah Allah T and then he would literally
make such the there. What kind of use only in Aqaba, he would come and you would pray. See, he would
do such that you do see Jude and the narration say about him? Well, Kenny was somebody in the Kaaba,
		
00:23:26 --> 00:24:04
			when he would come and pray near the Kaaba in the home, you would pray in the direction of the
Kaaba, like you would pray face towards the fibula, and you would pray in that direction. So you see
the remnants, you see this adherence to the original religion of Ibrahim wayuu, Elahi inaka Ibrahim,
he would say my God is the God of Ibrahim. My deity is the deity of Ibrahim my lord is the Lord of
Ibrahim. What Dini Dino Ibrahim, and my religion is a religion of Ibrahim. That's all I know. So
that's what he would say. And he really literally didn't know what to do beyond that, what kind of
you he alluded to. And it even talks about the fact that and this is a very profound reality, when
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:47
			true eemaan exists. When any semblance of a relationship with a law is truly present in the heart.
When the heart is actually connected to a law, at any level, it will bring about morality. It will
eat the obligates a person towards morality, you understand what I'm saying? What I'm saying is that
when spirituality is alive at any level within a person, then social awareness, that person starts
to become socially aware, that person will feel the need will feel obligated to be ethically and
morally upright. To be a good person to put it in simple words. All right, using big words to just
be a good person. All right, feeling spiritually connected in any way, shape, or form. makes a
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:59
			person feel like I gotta be a good person. I gotta find a way to be a good person. And this is a
very, very important reality we have to come to terms with do we find morality do we find ethics do
we find morality outside?
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:18
			Spirituality like people who are not truly connected? Sure, yes. But then Always remember, it is
either short lived or it is based off of a specific idea or agenda, or motive, but the true
selflessness and the true awareness of what it means to be good for the sake of being good.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:47
			Just being good, because that's what you're supposed to do. Regardless of what the situation
circumstances, the condition is. All right, that comes with that connection with Allah. Now, we find
a contradiction to that in our society, don't we, even in our Muslim community, you can find a
person who, quote unquote, is a very spiritual person, a very devout person, this person prays more
than anybody else I know. Right? They fast more than anyone else. I know. They are on more than
anyone else I know. But he's also the most horrible person I know.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:26:26
			Right, that we know that that exists. It's a very unfortunate contradiction we have, you know what
that tells you. People always ask me this question. People constantly ask me this question. And what
I always tell them, is that right, they're not for us, we don't judge anyone. It's not our job. It's
not my business to go around passing judgment on people. I'm not supposed to sit here and say, good
person, bad person, that person good, not us on my job. I'm seeing for the person him or herself.
What they can realize based off of their social conduct, their behavior, their o'clock, or lack
thereof, what they're supposed to realize is that I obviously lacked something in spirituality. If I
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:45
			pray five times a day, and I'm still a horrible person. When talking and dealing with people, that
obviously means that I have a shell of prayer. I don't really truly pray. understand the difference.
I fulfill the obligation. I go through the motions. I do a Yambuku Institute.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:51
			I flap my gums for three minutes. And that's what I do. But I don't pray.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:27:23
			I don't pray, I need to correct my prayer. because something is missing, something lacks. Alright,
so this man's a bit of a new fail. We like we just talked about, he had some spiritual awareness. So
what does it tell us about him? Oh, kinda you hear. We know a very unfortunate practice in pre
Islamic Arabian society. Part of the social evils that I did not talk about specifically before was
that they would, it was part of their culture. It wasn't rampid like that every single person did
this. But it was still very, very,
		
00:27:24 --> 00:28:05
			it was very common within that culture, that people would kill would bury allied their daughters
especially. And it's need some explanation, especially if the firstborn, if the firstborn was a
daughter, like the very first child, a man had was a girl was a daughter, then at that time he felt,
and even that was not amongst the elite, the elite did not do this. Because even their women would
have a lot more power and control and respect. And even men in middle class and lower class society,
it was mainly in middle to lower class society. All right, when their very first born child was a
girl, they felt the need to go and bury her alive, like as an offering to the gods so that it would
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:19
			be followed with his son. And this was a great crime and a great tragedy that occurred during that
time. in that era, the Koran talks about what you did in mobile. So he let that grow that was buried
alive, she'll be asked, be a given patina.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:24
			Due to what sin What wrong could she possibly have done,
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:58
			that she deserved to be killed? That in exchange for that she was killed? All right, so those are
very, very bad thing. What kind of you here, Buddha, but deep in our criminal field was this guy on
a mission? He was a man on a mission, he would go around trying to save these girls from being
killed from being buried alive. It was literally what he would do, he would literally find out that
if he'd hear the news in this home, first one was a daughter, and they're probably going to try to
bury your life, he would literally step in and say, Listen, if you want to be part of this girl,
just hand it over me. You don't have to worry about it. You can consider her dead or buried or
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:39
			whatever you want to just let me take care of her. But just please don't kill this baby girl. Don't
kill this innocent child. Well, can you hear the modem? We're pulling the Rogen era, to the ignitor
who, when he would find a man who is intending to go and kill his newborn daughter, that's up to
her, don't kill her. It for her. Give her to somebody who can take care of her better meaning let me
take care of her. I'll find somebody to take care of her. I'll take care of her. Please don't kill
her for either the rods for who they were initiated for her. If she starts to find a place in your
heart, then please keep her She's your daughter. If you become emotionally attached to her, then
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:56
			keep her But if you don't, then give her up. Give her away. I'll take care of her. I'll take her
away from me. You'll never have to hear from her car ever again. As far as you're concerned, she's
dead. Right But please don't bury this girl. Don't kill her. So this this was the quality, quality
and caliber of this man
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			and and they've been
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			I'm going to be newfane.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:46
			Ghana, your father, it means about fresh. Similarly, he was also very particular, he didn't indulge,
he didn't want to sanction, he didn't want to show any type of approval for some of the very ship
like practices that were prevalent in Malaysia that time. So when they would sacrifice animals on
the names of the gods, the different idols and false gods and deities, he would not eat from those
sacrifices, you would not go to the feasts that were done to celebrations that were done in the name
of the the idols he would not participate in the less to accurate in the less to achill matters
barnala sobre como la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, he would say that, I do not eat from that which
		
00:30:46 --> 00:31:10
			you sacrifice for your idols. And similarly I do not eat except that which is sacrificed only and
only in the name of God, in the name of Allah. Only that which is sacrificed in killed the name of a
lot. I will lead from that outside of that I don't want don't bring me your food. Don't invite me to
these idol worshipping parties, these fees, don't, please don't include me in this stuff. I have no
business. I have no interest in this.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:39
			What were you able to elaborate about it? And when they would sometimes be having these feasts or
they would be making sacrifices in the name of the gods and the idols, he would show up and you
would even reprimand them, you chastise them, you would advise them, you're pulling a shot Holla
Holla. This goat that you're about to kill, Allah created it, what ends another homina sama and MA
in a lesser one that rains down water from the sky for this goat, what unbutton a hammock, analyze
the one that allowed vegetation to grow from the earth to feed this goat.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:55
			And then after all of that process, you sacrifice it for someone other than Allah. What's wrong with
you people? What's wrong with y'all? What's going on up here? And so he would you would advise him
in this way.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:19
			And that's why it's mentioned about ABN AMRO to fail, that he passed away before the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam received this message. He passed away before the process and received
his message. But the prophets a lot of them is narrated to have said about him. In authentic
narrations, the prophets, a lot of the sermons narrated to have said your shadow that are omitted.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:27
			That man's aid been I'm going to be new failed will be resurrected on the day of judgment as an
owner by himself.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			You shall know that
		
00:32:30 --> 00:33:09
			you'll be resurrected as an oma by himself. baney will be nary a sub pneumonia as the oma that
existed between me and between a sub pneumonia, as we know based on the variety of narrations have
been cathedra is of the opinion that there were about 500 some odd years between the Prophet
salallahu Salam and Isa alayhi salam, other historians are of the opinion it was closer to 600 some
odd years. Nevertheless, you know, that's just a slight difference of opinion of 80 years here or
there. But nevertheless, there was about five to 600 years between the profits awesome and a solid,
solid. And that's why I mentioned this previously, Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah t as in the 20
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			apollomon. Mountain,
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:42
			you have been sent to one two people that their forefathers were not warned. 500 years no message
has come to these people from Corfu. That's why these people are so lost. So empathize with them.
Don't talk down to them, empathize with them, sympathize with them, empathize with them, connect
with them, realize where they're coming from. All right, and they will eventually get to where you
need them to be for first, keep in mind where they're coming from. So because of that long duration,
the process of them is saying that the long duration that existed between meaning
		
00:33:43 --> 00:34:28
			they've been able to fail will be resurrected as an oma diorama of that era, by himself whatever
another narrations as you borrow from the metamodel. He'll be resurrected on the day of judgment as
an oma all by himself. And he will be brought before our last panel Atala and then the prophet SAW
Selim says in another narration, talking about you know, either during the journey of an Islamic
Mirage or through one of his dreams, in which the prophets Allah SM was short shown Jenna Shawn
paradise, he says the Hult agenda, the Hult agenda, I entered paradise for at least 18 Now I'm gonna
be newfane Doha. I entered into paradise into Jenna and I saw reserved for Zaid binominal menoufia
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:59
			for this man, Doha. Doha in the Arabic language means huge trees. All right, just shut your eyes
just a tree. Nothing is like a date palm. Don't have means like a humongous tree like California
redwoods. All right, like California redwoods like unbelievable tree like a tree that's like, like
witnessing a miracle. A tree that's like witnessing a miracle of Allah's creation. All right, so he
says I taught I saw two magnificent humongous, huge trees.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:13
			reserved for is a bit of a new fee for him to chill and for him to hang out underneath those trees
in paradise in general. So the prophesy some spoke about this man and how you will be given gender.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:25
			And then of course it's men luck, luck, bad luck. He has a, they've been newfane our suits alavesa
he met the Messenger of Allah salatu salam, but before Prophethood he met the processes on before
Prophet, while Mata tabula
		
00:35:26 --> 00:36:02
			rasa. But he passed away before the process and received divine revelation received this message,
another individual and this individual, I'm only going to talk about him very briefly, because he's
going to come up later, one of the key moments one of the greatest moments in the life of the
Prophet sallallahu sallam. So I'm just going to introduce you to who he was in his life before
Islam, but then we'll be talking more about him and the role that he played within Islam the the
message, the arrival of the message, we'll talk about that later, when we come to that occasion
within the CETA, the prophetic biography in Sharla. That second individuals, what are the new fate?
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:40
			Excuse me, we're probably no fun. Work. No fun. All right. So what happened? No fun is that second
individual, the second man, it's narrated about him that they the first individual talked about
saving faith, he traveled outside of Arabia, he traveled to all the nearby regions anywhere that he
could find anywhere that he could go to try to find the truth, the message of the truth, because you
see, this man had this yearning to find the truth. So what happened no fun. also traveled was a
phenomenal benefit. He was like his travel, but he was a travel companion. They were they were two
men, so very, II, they did not agree they were not comfortable with the spiritual state in the
		
00:36:40 --> 00:37:02
			condition of Makkah. At that time he did they did not feel comfortable with what was going on. So
when they told him that Listen, I leave, I'm going outside, I want to go travel around and try to
find the truth. What are the NOFA that said, Hey, Mind if I roll with you, alright, because I'm
trying to find the truth as well. So he traveled with him quite a bit. Yeah, but I'm Dean. And so he
had to bail us trying to find the true Dean.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:45
			But while traveling, he went a slightly different route and saving did, and that was AP number came
across Christianity. He came across Judaism, but he was he wasn't comfortable with what he found
there either. So he just latched on to this idea of the deen of Ibrahim, the ILA of Abraham. And he
said, I might realize Elijah, he might even as the Dean of Abraham, I'm not really sure what that
means. But nevertheless, I'm willing to stick to my guns about that. I'm going to stick to my guns
about that. All right, what about no food slightly different? In his travels, he came across certain
marks, all right, adherence to Christianity, people who are adhering to Christianity, and they were
		
00:37:45 --> 00:38:19
			practicing the Christianity of old meaning they were practicing a slightly more cleaner version,
pure version of Christianity, where that's why and that's why they had taken on monk ism, they had
separated themselves secluded themselves from society, and they were living lifestyle as monks, all
right, in little places of worship that they'd established for themselves. Why? Because they weren't
comfortable with Christian society and Christian culture, and what was going on in terms of Trinity
and Jesus, Son of God and things like that. So they kind of went off to the outskirts of society,
civilization, they were living out there trying to practice the cleanest, purest form of
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:58
			Christianity that they could figure out for themselves. So what acaba nofal came into contact with
these people and ended up becoming a Christian but in this sense, and it's also said that he was the
first one to translate the Bible, the Injeel into Arabic, and bring it to he just bring it to the
the region where the aka the Hejaz region, he was the one to bring the Bible there. And he would
literally by hand he would write, he would write copies and manuscripts of the Injeel of the Bible
and try to distribute them amongst people and try to teach it to people. And he had like a little
circle of people that he was trying to teach and trying to bring around from shift over to
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			Christianity.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			And
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:38
			so, of course, the the, the, the key role that he played later on, and we'll talk more about this is
that he was the cousin of Khadija rhodiola, the first wife of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Khadija
radi Allahu Allah, he was her cousin. All right, so when the prophets allows him and we'll be
talking about this later in the seed, of course, this is that great moment, the turning point, when
the Prophet ism received the first revelation, you could be someone who began to develop and the
process and came back from their kingdom from the cave and came home and he was shaken up and he
spoke to her and told her everything that happened, who did she end up taking him to? She took him
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:59
			to her cousin, who knew a little bit about scriptures and prophets and things like that. That was
what happened often. That was this man. And he so she took him to work of an orphan, and when she
took them, their workers said to the profits or loss him into Khadija yaku saw the hunt for in
Havana Moo Smith Nana moose Moosa, that if he speaks the truth
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:05
			Did this angel that he talks about that came to him is the same Angel the same messenger that would
come to
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:48
			see me Angela would come for in for in Bertha and a height for in Botswana. Hey, if he is sent out
to preach this message by Allah, and I am still alive, first fossa wuzhizhou I will not only respect
him, but I will support him, I will fully back him and support him put all my influence in my power
behind him while unsuitable I will help him in his message, what will mean will be and I will
believe in him. And I will believe in him. So this is a story. This is who what up enough it wasn't
Of course. So he proclaims this belief in the prophets a lot of the time. And that's why the
scholars do classify him as somebody who didn't accept Islam where he believed, but nevertheless, he
		
00:40:48 --> 00:41:04
			was in a deer into heat. And he was practicing this and preaching this much, much before even the
divine revelation. So he's one of those who whenever that was present in that society at that time,
a third individual very interesting and this is where you get to see slightly the other side of
things.
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:51
			There was another man by the name of bluesmen sereda and Ed. Bushman, cida. Eliade. So push this man
Robotham and Thomas radi Allahu anhu and others also married that windy Wofford of EOD EOD was a
tribe he had was a tribe so much, much later, when the caravans and the the envoys the convoys
started coming to the prophet SAW some tribes started arriving to accept Islam and to, you know,
accept Islam and learn about Islam and accept Islam at the hands of the Prophet salani Sonam. One of
those tribes or one of those caravans that came was from the tribe of Viet when they came the
prophets, a lot of them ask them about policemen's either. See you guys know about a man named
		
00:41:51 --> 00:42:00
			Cushman Sarita for the karula. who and who Halak. They mentioned to him that Yeah, we remember him
he was one of our old timers, but he died now he passed away.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:43
			For Allenby, sal Allahu Allah who sent him to prophesy. Some said at that time, the butcher he do
Yeoman Bo Calvin. I saw him one day at the place of love, or God was a place right outside of MCC. I
talked about this in the previous sessions, that God was a place near Morocco where they used to
have a huge festival every year. And they would get together there and they would have poetry
competitions, and they would worship the idols and they would do all of this type of fanfare. So it
was like kind of like a big Carnival a big festival for them. So he says I saw him there. I liked
Germany and he was writing a read. She Campbell, he has a column B column in margin. Monique, he was
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:56
			speaking in he was speaking some words that were very astonishing. They were very surprising.
They're really deep. He was saying some very deep, profound mind blowing stuff. Logic.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:35
			And then the Prophet system says I don't really remember what he was saying. But I just remember
what he was saying was really deep and really profound. It was really mind blowing. For soccer. I
had a father Wofford, one of the people in that caravan. He remembered he said, You have to remember
some of the things you used to say for what yeah Masha, Nas each time he Oh, he would say Oh, people
come together gathered together for coolamon, Mata Fattah, everyone who dies and that person has
gone he's perished. Well, couldn't you say in an atom, but every single thing will come. We'll come
back later, we'll come back later. Meaning everything is coming. Everything is coming. Meaning that
		
00:43:35 --> 00:44:21
			and this is almost like an expression. What he's basically saying is that everything you do in this
world has a follow up has a consequence and and you're about to face the consequence of that thing.
Lady Lu Leyland, dajin night that is Leyland dajin that night that is very, very deep and dark was
Samar was Mr. Rajan and the sky that is full of forts meaning sky that is full of stars. So a night
that is very, very deep and dark, but at the same time, it has like huge forts like shining stars up
in the sky, what buffoonery judgment, but at the same time, you have the ocean that is raging with
waves medulin does huddle stars that that twinkle in the sky was the bottom of Saturn, and mountains
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:40
			that are deeply rooted into the earth? what and how much rotten and how much rotten and you have
rivers that are streams that are flowing within the earth in fsms. In a burn in the sky, there is a
huge realization there's a wake up call waiting for you in the sky, meaning look up and reflect at
the sky and wake up, Molly.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:45
			Why is it that I see people that they go but they don't come back?
		
00:44:50 --> 00:45:00

kumada. And that Dean that Allah has reserved is more pleasing to a lot than this Dean that you
people are practicing because I told you how to oka they would have festivities and they would
celebrate this their idols. So he gives them this long speeches emaan inspiring talk. And then at
the end of it, he would say look alike as a dean, and that Dean is more beloved than this Dean that
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:48
			you people are practicing. And then he would read this type of poetry and he would try to advise the
people.
		
00:45:51 --> 00:46:28
			So this was another man another individual that was present there at the time, before the message
arrived to the Prophet system. So this was another Hanif during the days of je D. It doesn't really
mention any more about exactly what happened with him what played out with him, but we just know
that when his tribes people came to the prophet SAW, so the process of asked about him, and they
said he died, he passed away. But nevertheless, this was the perspective of that man. There was yet
another man, a fourth individual, I'll tell you about who was a Hanif practicing that or living by
this idea of oneness of God, even before Islam in Arabian society, and that was may have been a be a
		
00:46:28 --> 00:47:08
			solid, who may or may not be a solid, who will lead the olofi Rasulullah. Cotta may have been a be a
solid and and use Lima. The prophets a lot of them said that omega was very close to accepting
Islam. Only It was very close to accepting Islam. Well Phoebe waiting for Lucha de cada and use Lima
officially. The process of another narration says that Romania is very near to accepting Islam in
his poetry, meaning his poetry oozes of Eman. his poetry reeks of emaan oozes drips among very close
when you read his poetry, you feel like this guy was just about to become Muslim, where he is very
close to being a Muslim.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:15
			And instead about him that he he was basically a practitioner of the Christian faith.
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:28
			But he says recite and write a lot of poetry that will talk about the Hadith that will talk about
oneness of God. Again, he was not a practice, practitioner of like common popular Christianity of
that time, but a pure form of Christianity.
		
00:47:30 --> 00:48:03
			And he would talk about resurrection onto the object on the Day of Judgment, which was a very, very
radical idea for pre Islamic Arab society. They thought that that was something they were absolutely
not willing to be on board with. All right, and he was also known as one of the giants of poetry at
his time, ngadimin hula shoe at all. He was known as one of the giants of poetry in his era. He
lived until the time to where the prophet SAW some received divine revelation. But he did not accept
Islam. He didn't accept Islam. Why? To caboodle an akuna
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:11
			tabula rasa, he did not accept Islam out of arrogance, because he said I can't listen to what he
tells me
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:52
			is he's like a kid. This is an elderly man. He's a giant of he's an intellectual giant of his time
in his era. He's a master poet of his time. All right, I just felt it beneath himself below himself
to listen to the prophets of Salaam. So he built you talk about the rain, but he did not attempt to
stop even though the message came to him. divine revelation, that kind of message came to me he
rejected a refusal why he was too arrogant to follow the prophet SAW Selim, and about him the aim of
the Quran many of the mufa saloon and scholars say that this is the Quran was revealed in regards to
him he is one of the people to whom to whom this is applied, where Allah subhanaw taala says in the
		
00:48:52 --> 00:49:34
			Quran, what to do I lay him never led attina who I attina are off, I am number 175. What do I lay
him, recite upon them, meaning relate to them. Number 11 the story of the men and Lady attina who is
Athena, we gave him Our Ayat, meaning we gave him our science. He could look at the sky and know
nothing realize that there was something profound about it. He heard the Quran and he he could
recognize that there was something unique and distinct and divine about it. And I think that's why
we gave him the site fansler Caminha but what did he do? He retreated from it. In Salah ha literally
means to pull something out of something else.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:43
			To extract something to pull something out of something else. He literally extracted himself funds
out of Amina, he pulled himself out of that guidance.
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:48
			Whatever shade, fence Allah Caminha further our shade.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:59
			Photographer shavon fanomena Harmon, he ended up following shavon and what ended up happening to
him. He became from those people who were wondering about
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:07
			aimlessly through life. So he received all the science, but out of his arrogance very consciously
aware,
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:48
			very aware, very cognizant, very aware, very consciously. He pulled himself out of guidance,
followed the shaman and lived a life of just complete. This illusion, had no idea which purpose he
was living his life for. All right, it said about him that he died either in the second tier of
heater, or he died in the ninth year of higit. Ah, there's a variety of narrations. But he did not
accept the sound but again, what goes to show you that he realized that there was some truth there,
he actually wrote a poem, whatever she had on Felisa, he cazzola Qureshi on Cobra,
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:50
			he wrote a poem,
		
00:50:52 --> 00:51:11
			kind of memorializing the people who died in the battle have bothered, he wrote a poem memorializing
them talking about them, that whether they were good or bad, and what's going to happen to them not
that they died and then the afterlife what will transpire with them. So you see that this person had
certain ideas, but yet his arrogance prevented him from believing.
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:56
			Yet another person and this is a probably this will be the last person I talked about. A fifth
individual I'll tell you about who is from the NFR people who believed into hate, even before Islam,
the message of the prophets a lot ism was lobbied been robbia alamiri. He was also from one of the
giants of poetry in the pre Islamic era, from the zemon of Jehovah, from the time of God will meet
you are in the past. Not only that, but he received a very distinct honor of that time. His some of
his poetry was determined to be so eloquent, so profound, so great, that his some of his poems were
actually hung on the Kaaba and around the Kaaba. I talked about this before, that poetry that was
		
00:51:56 --> 00:52:29
			deemed to be the most the best poetry of that time, would literally be hung from the Kaaba and
around the Kaaba. It was called the alma alacarte, the Han poems, and it would be hung around the
Kaaba, because that was the most sacred place. And that was a great honor for those poets. He was
one of those poets that received that honor that during his lifetime, his poems are actually hung up
around the Kaaba. So he was a great poet of that time. Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam said about him,
as, as dapu can imagine. Kala hatia in Kalamazoo Bay debate, lobbied the prophets a lot he sent him
said
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:36
			that some of the truest words that a poet has ever spoken, were the words of libido.
		
00:52:37 --> 00:53:15
			were the words of libido. These are some of the truest words some of the most profound things that
any poet has ever said. were the words of libido. And aku, Shea in masala Allahu belting is very
famous, famous poet poem that he said, and this word, the prophets alesund said this little phrase,
this little couple of this little snippet of his poems are probably one of the most profound things
that a poet has ever, ever said. And in fact, Islamic scholars throughout the centuries throughout
the generations have always used this phrase use this snippet of this poem of his when talking about
a lot and they've always taught it to their students. We were taught this by our teachers as well.
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:19
			And that phrase is alappuzha in masala, Lago batido.
		
00:53:20 --> 00:54:02
			Allahu Allah, Allah. He said, Allah Allah is like an exclamation to Arabic language in classical
Arabic. It means Listen up, pay attention, listen up. Listen up good news. In each and every single
thing Masha Allah, Allah who other than Allah, each and every single thing other than Allah, aside
from Allah, every single thing other than Allah, Botha Lu, it is bothered. What does that mean when
we hear about that we have a very specific meaning of that in our mind. It's the antonym of Huck.
Correct. And we think of it in terms of like how cuz the truth button is falsehood. Not that's not
how that's not what it means in classical Arabic in its roots. It is the antonym of the word hop it
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:45
			is the opposite of the word hub, but the word half in classical Arabic in its roots, it means
something that is on a solid foundation. The word hop means something that is solid, on solid
footing, solid foundation is called hot button is the opposite something that is unstable is not on
solid footing is not on a solid foundation is called buckling. It's called bottom. And that's why we
know it as the plan presented to us as truth and falsehood because truth is on solid footing. It's
established its truth. All right, and that which is false hood is called busted because it's Ranger,
Jalil, Huck, WA Zagato in Alberta, Canada. That's why Allah says that. All right, so he's saying
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:45
			Allah,
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			Masha Allah Allahu
		
00:54:49 --> 00:55:00
			ichi and every single thing other than a Why is button. It has no foundation. It's here today gone
tomorrow. The only thing that is permanent, the only
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:07
			Only thing that is establishes Allah everything has been analyzed must loop its creation. So
therefore it has no foundation.
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:28
			It is only in existence as long as Allah allows it to be in existence. When Allah deems it to be
when Allah decrees it to be non existent it'll be go out of existence. That's very in line with that
puranic idea as well and sort of man that Allah subhanaw taala says kulu Manali ha, fun,
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:33
			good lumen Anika we are which will be good to
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:44
			each and every single thing on this earth in existence is fine. It will expire. It's running out,
it's fading away. But the only thing that remains is the face of your Lord.
		
00:55:45 --> 00:56:20
			The only the face of your solution in honeycomb Illa what each and every single thing is meant is
moving towards perishing, towards extinguishing expiring except for Allah except for his face except
for Allah. So this is what some of the very profound words that have been said, well, Islam Allah
bit and this poem this poet lobbied he actually accepted Islam. Well, McAfee he left it Earth man.
He died much much later during the life of Earth man but I found with the Aloha new brother and I
shall be our home cinema.
		
00:56:21 --> 00:57:02
			And even harder Allah, Allah, Allah Allah, Allah even harder, and other scholars like in LA Saba
family for the Sahaba in Asadullah Baba, these, all these different books that document and talk
about the different companions and people from the time of the prophets a lot he said them, many of
these scholars, they talked about the fact that he lived to be 150 years old, he lived to the age of
150. All right, and then he passed away at that time. So this was a man with a lot of experience had
seen a lot deep, profound wisdom. And of course, he accepted Islam and lived until the silica of
Earth man when I found out he loved what I knew. And there's and then there's a whole list of people
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:47
			another dozen or so individuals who were, you know, a deer in situ heed the deer to heed even in the
pre Islamic era. One of the one set a couple of them that I find that are very noteworthy is gabin
loue. Bin avalable kurachi, cabin Louie, Louie bin hollywell Qureshi, who is one of the great, great
grandfather's of the prophets a lot. He's no, he's actually one of the forefathers, one of the
great, great, great grandfather's of the processor. He falls under this category of these people who
were practitioners and preachers of tawheed in a predominantly ship based society. All right,
another person that's named amongst them is a tsunami, who also accepted Islamic karma hula hoop in
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:52
			Islam, Allah honored him by giving him Islam and allowing him to accept Islam. And then
		
00:57:53 --> 00:58:17
			one other name. And I'm not going to talk about him now. Because next week session is going to focus
solely on the immediate family of the profits or losses, Emma, we'll talk about them in more detail
next week. But one of the other individuals who's listed amongst the list of one alpha, people who
believed into heed oneness of God, pre islamically, all right, by some of the scholars, some of the
historians is actually optimal.
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:58
			The grandfather of the Prophet saucer, he's put in this list by a lot of scholars. And there's a
huge discussion, we'll talk about it when we get there. But and actually, next week, we're also
going to be talking about the incident of the invasion of the elephants. All right, I'm gonna feed
the year of the elephant in that great incident that occurred that just, you know, immortalized in
the in the sutra of unfeeling turkeyfoot hybrid field. So we'll talk about it in there. So some of
this dialogue, some of his discourse, some of his ideas that he expressed, during that time, during
the invasion of the elephants and that army of the elephants, it gives you a very clear indication
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:34
			of the fact that he was a very open practitioner and preacher and advocate of the heat. Not only
that, but we also see in the words of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, during the husband who named
after Fatima, the Battle of mean in which the Muslims were the majority. And of course, we'll come
to this much, much later, in the cedaw. Muslims are the majority but something very interesting
happened. There were a lot of new converts to Islam and people who weren't quite established within
their faith yet, and they the army started to fall apart and break apart and disperse. And at that
time, the prophets a lot of them made a rallying cry, he made a rallying call, and he rallied
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:54
			together some of the older Sahaba some of the long term Sahaba to rally together and then the
Muslims were able to overcome the advance from the enemy at that time. And that rally cry, that
battle cry that rallying call that the prophets a lot he sort of made at that time. And this is
mentioned in authentic narrations as he said, and then the bu laccadive.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:59
			He started to save loudly in the battlefield, cry out in the battlefield, and then the
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:36
			You laccadive I am the prophet and this is not a lie. And then the bu laccadive and uptil metallic,
I am the son of Abdulmutallab, of course, he means grandson. Alright, that's obviously understood.
All right, like when the grandson when the grandfather calls his grandson, he calls him son. All
right, that that, that that's just an expression, that means he's my son, son, of course. So the
process, I'm saying, I am the son, meaning I'm the grandson of Abdulmutallab. And some of the
scholars see that even the profitsystem, proclaiming himself like that in battle against the enemy
against non Muslims that I am the son of adultery, also is an indication of the fact that I've
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:58
			looked at it was very open, advocate after he'd even pre islamically Allahu Allah, Allah Allah knows
best. So that's a little bit about this, this small contingent, these scattered individuals who held
on to this idea, this faith, this belief of the oneness of Allah, subhanaw, taala, even pre
islamically, even before
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:06
			the preaching and the teaching of the message of the prophets allows him and even before the birth
of the prophets a lot. So
		
01:01:07 --> 01:01:17
			what we're going to be talking about next week is we'll be talking about the year of the day, the
invasion of the army of the elephants, and we'll also start talking about some of the immediate
family members of the prophets a lot. So
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:33
			what I wanted to end with here today, in these last few minutes, was talking a little bit about the
family history of the prophets a lot. So I wanted to talk about this very, very briefly, you know,
something very interesting
		
01:01:34 --> 01:02:16
			that the scholars talk about is, you know, loot alehissalaam loot alehissalaam. In the Quran, you
know, when he When, when, when he's dealing with that very difficult situation of he's received
these gets these guests who were angels in the form of human beings. And the very immoral people of
his society, his community are making a very strong advance towards these people towards these
individuals. And he's trying to talk some sense into them. He's trying to talk some some sensibility
into them. He says at that, at that time, I'll only be come forward. I wish I had some strength to
facing people to deal with you people. Oh, are we in Iraq ninja leader, I could go back and lean on
		
01:02:16 --> 01:02:59
			a very, very strong pillar. And what that's an expression of what that means is I wish I had like
family backing and family support. I wish I had like a family and a tribe to lean back on that would
support me in this type of a difficult situation. The profits lesson came from a very, very
prestigious noble family. He came from a very amazing background, a very blessed lineage. And this
isn't something superficial, while solely finding value for yourself in solely based on the family
you come from or your lineage is superficial, alright, spiritually superficial. All right.
Nevertheless, there is a certain value in it in the sense of it gave the prophets a lot of human
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:31
			credibility to speak amongst his people, because he was dealing with people who are very
superficial, who are spiritually shallow, who would only listen to somebody if he came from a good
family. And at the same time, it gave the process some support. We all know Abu Talib didn't accept
the song but continue to support him and defend him. He was the defender who was the gatekeeper to
the profits a lot so they couldn't get near him. They're gonna harm him couldn't lay a finger on him
while he was alive. So it has a very, very strong significance. And the Prophet of Allah sallallahu
Sallam says,
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:38
			in a narration the Hadith in the last alpha cannon, I mean will the is Mary Alice has selected
Canada,
		
01:03:39 --> 01:04:12
			from the children of his Mary, west of operation in Canada. And then he selected the tribe of
British from Canada, from the overall lineage of Canada was the farming operation Bani Hashim. And
then a lot chose selected by new Hashim. The family have been hand on what we call the new do the
extended family of boo Hashem, from Quraysh from the tribe of grace was the funny meme bunny Hashem,
and he chose me from Banu Hashim meaning I have been selected from the cream of the cream of the
cream of the cream of crop.
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:42
			I come from the best appears of the peers of the peers of the peers. And it gave him that
credibility. The Prophet of Allah somebody said him says another nation in the Lhasa agenda
geomechanical helper, john and if you say to him, the day when Allah created the creation, he put me
amongst the best people through Medina federal Patanjali if you hate him for the pain, they are
distributed to people further he put me in the better group amongst the two distributed groups
through mahina john kabayan, and if you fail, it will be
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:59
			distributed further the people into tribes you put me in the best of tribes through mahina john and
john geralyn. If he hated him, they were amongst the tribe distributed the homes a lot put me in the
best of homes for anahita who mess up and who hated him beaten and from amongst the best
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:39
			People when it comes to lineage and I'm from amongst the best of people when it comes to homes, the
house I came from the family I came from, and that's why when Abu sufian stood before place of the
emperor of Rome, and when he was asked about Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he was asked,
Do you think he's doing this just to gain some prominence amongst your people like he has some
ulterior motive, abusive fiance know who Athena Vanessa, who Athena who mess up, he belongs to a
very high, esteemed lineage amongst us, there's no way I mean, he comes from the best family you can
imagine. So that's not why he did this. And so something very profound, something that is a miracle
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:48
			of the life of the prophet Elijah and is a beauty of the setting the Sita is that the entire lineage
of the prophets, a lot of them is preserved till other Maliki Salah.
		
01:05:49 --> 01:06:20
			His entire lineage is preserved to allow the monies no other human being claimed his his lineage is
preserved all the way till Adam alayhis salam, there are three basic parts of the lineage. I'll just
read it to you here. The first part of it is a unanimously accepted, it's documented, it's Surefire.
The second part of it. There are a few differences of opinion about a few names here and there, but
it's still documented. And then the third part of it is after Ibrahim on a Salaam and that part of
it, of course, is well established as well.
		
01:06:21 --> 01:07:26
			Mohammed Abdullah Mohammed Hassan Abdullah bin Abdul muttalib bin Hashem bin abdomen have been to
say bin killer bin kolab b Maura bin cap bin Louie bin Khalid bin Fahad bin Malik bin never been
cananda bin hoceima bin Mutharika bin ilias bin madora bin Azhar bin Wyatt been added on this part

Allah.
		
01:08:12 --> 01:08:49
			And what's remarkable is there are scholars that were actually made to memorize this. I haven't
probably reviewed in a while so I had to read it off of my notes. But we were made to memorize this
1000s 1000s of scholars around the world have the entire lineage of the prophets Allah memorized
millions of scholars and people throughout our 1400 year history had the entire lineage of the
prophets Allah just memorize and they don't even know their own lineage beyond their own
grandfather, great grandfather. That is the esteem the respect the honor the dignity that Allah has
granted to Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam May Allah subhanaw taala give us all the
		
01:08:49 --> 01:09:15
			reality of who he was. May Allah allow us to develop true love for the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
sallam. inshallah Next week, we'll continue with our series on the prophetic biography. We'll be
talking about the army, the invasion of the army of elephants, and we'll start talking about the
individuals who were immediately related to the process unlike his father, mother, grandfather, etc.
May Allah subhanaw taala give us the ability to practice everything that was said and heard, does
not come in our head on so I'm really comfortable.
