00:00:30 --> 00:01:12
			shala continuing with our sessions on the life of the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam, a Sierra
Nevada the prophetic biography, in the previous session, or rather, in the previous few sessions,
we've been talking about the initial stages of prophethood, the beginning of the preaching of the
revelation, and we specifically in the previous session address, the issue of when the Dow the
message went from its first to its second stage, that it went from just Prophethood, unknowable
other prophets a lot isn't just coming to terms and internalizing, basically what was being sent
down to him in the instruction that was being given to him to where he switched over to actually now
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:39
			preaching the message at a more public level. And we specifically talked about when the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam got the leaders of his family members together, and delivered the message to them
and told them exactly who he was and what why he was doing what he was doing. And we talked about
the response as well. We talked about how Abu lahab disrupted the situation broke up the party, and
kept causing problem day after day after day after day.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:02:17
			We finally then moved on to talking about and some books of co2 stated in the opposite order. Some
of them say that the public address from the amount of sofar was first. And then the private dinner
with the family members with seconds, that the private dinner with the family members was done to
basically quell any concerns that they may have to kind of have a one on one some FaceTime. While
some books of the Sierra say no, it was actually the gathering with the family members was first to
first break the news to them so that they wouldn't be caught off guard. They just wouldn't be out of
the blue to them. And then the prophets, a lot of them took it to a more public arena, where he
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:27
			stood at the mountain of Safa, and he proclaimed his message to basically all of the extended
family, which would be the other tribes and other families in the Quraysh.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:03:07
			Now that the prophets a lot isn't proclaimed his message publicly in the private family gathering,
and in the public address of from the mountain of Safa, Abu lahab, at both places disrupted the
party, he basically dispersed everyone, he came back at the profits, a lot of the seminar attacked
the character of the prophets a lot. He said, let me call him a liar. He called him crazy. He
reprimanded him publicly, and everybody dispersed from there. What's very interesting is that while
many people did not speak up in support of the prophets a lot he said them in the public gathering,
it was Eliade, Allahu anhu. And one other narration tells us that it was Abu Talib, which we'll talk
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			about a little bit later today.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:19
			In the public gathering, nobody really spoke up in defense of the Prophet sallallaahu, Selim. But at
the same time, nobody else spoke up against him either.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:04:01
			Which tells you a little bit about that they were hesitant to attack the Prophet sallallahu sallam,
because this was somebody that they really had no grounds to attack. There was no dirt that they had
on him, there was nothing to really attack about him. This was a man of the highest caliber, the
highest character, the greatest nobility, total honesty, truth, trustworthiness, what was there to
say about him? they really couldn't say anything about him. Abu lahab was very irrational, which
we'll talk about some of the irrationality of Abu lahab in today's session, but our blog was
irrational. Nobody else spoke up in defense, but nobody else attacked the profits from either not
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:42
			everybody else shook their head and said, Yeah, absolutely. Abu Dhabi, you're right. He's out of his
mind. Nobody said that. Everyone just quietly walked away from there. And even that has been
explained. Why was that it's very simple and easy to understand. Because what the prophets, a lot of
who was presenting to them was a complete shift in ideology, in theology, in lifestyle in morals and
ethics and character. The prophets. A lot of this is actually this speaks about the nobility, the
sincerity, and the integrity of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, you know, a lot of times, and there
definitely is a fine line here. I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea. But this fine line can
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:59
			be better delineated by people of knowledge and wisdom and experience leadership. But at the same
time, I will say one thing, that a lot of times when we realize that there's an issue in society,
and we want to go about in addressing this issue in society, we oftentimes have this discussion,
this dialogue
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			About how to address it. Do we tackle the issue head on? Or do we say look, this is a problem and we
cannot tolerate this any longer. We got to fix this.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:19
			But then from the other side, we also have the angle of Oh, but we have to have hikmah. We have to
have wisdom, we have to be very wise. We have to be intelligent and how we're approaching this.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:25
			And that is definitely true with your last ability of becoming Hekmati. Well, no,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:48
			we do have to be wise we do have to be intelligent. But at the same time, we also have to understand
that we can fall prey to another extreme. While we don't want to be harsh, and we don't want to
reprimand people for the sake of reprimanding people we have to be careful not to fall prey to the
other extreme. And the other extreme is where we basically do not stand on any type of moral
grounding.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:13
			We have no moral grounding, we have nothing that we stand for. We have nothing that we are based on
we we become so wishy washy, we become so watered down about what we're doing and what we're saying
and what we're trying to achieve and accomplish. We don't even remember what we set out for to begin
with. These are definitely two extremes. We the prophets allottee sometimes the ultimate balance in
this regard.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:56
			Shaban Hassan Ali nadwi Rahim Allah, Allah in His analysis of the Sierra has actually in detailed
laid this issue out, and he's talked about this. And he speaks about how the prophets Allah ism is
the ultimate role model for anyone who aspires to community leadership for anyone who aspires to
influence humanity in a positive way, wants to make a positive change in the world wants to be an
agent of change in the world that they live in. That the prophets a lot ism is the ultimate role
model. Because the prophets, a lot of them was very wise. He was very balanced. He was very kind, he
was very generous and very considerate of people. But at the same time, the prophets Allah Islam,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			stood for what he exactly believed in.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam stood for what he believed in.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:39
			And these convictions were unshakable, and he did stand for something. And that was without a shadow
of a doubt. So the prophets a lot, he said them at the same time, he's not watering down his
message. He's telling them exactly the crux of the matter, believe in one God, and there is a life
of the hereafter and I am the messenger of God, I've been sent to warn you. And if you do not listen
to this, you did not heed this message, you bring upon yourself suffering in this world in the next
digit, you can be hated dunia will Akira, and I've come to you with all that which is good of the
good of this world and the good of the life of the hereafter.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			So listen to what I'm saying.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			First of all, listen to what I'm saying.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			In fact, we're going to talk about some of the narrations.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:20
			But now that the message was public, when the prophets A lot of you won't even go to the public
places, he would go to the town square, he would go to the marketplaces, and he would want to try to
talk to people about the message. You know, the line that the prophets a lot of them would open
with, he would say, yeah, you Hannah's Oh people kulu La ilaha illAllah c'est la ilaha illa Allah
say there is no one worthy of worship but god but Allah alone, definitely who and you will find
success.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:44
			Look at the power with which you would even open as a dress. So the prophets, a lot of them is a
beautiful excellence, amazing, a perfect role model on exactly how to influence change in a society.
And because of the directness, and the honesty and the integrity of the prophets allowed him
delivering the message. It was something that was initially a little difficult for people to
swallow.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			It was a little difficult for them to deal with.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:58
			And so everyone dispersed from there, while they did not speak up in defense of him, but because of
the character of the profitsystem they also couldn't say anything bad about him.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			Now that this was basically what had happened.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			What occurred after this point on
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			what started happening after this was now that the news was out in the open, there was really no
secret.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:31
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam started preaching started teaching started talking about his message.
And similarly, people who opposed him first and foremost, beginning with his own uncle, Abu lahab.
He also began to openly oppose him
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:51
			and criticize him and slander him and insult him and vilify him and demonize him in the eyes of the
people. And there are multiple narrations which talk about this, that the Prophet of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he talks about his convictions and preaching the message.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			It said, it's the Monroe. Yeah, they're all in a lucky to Ana nealon when a heroin was Iran watching
what he held on
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:30
			That he consistently kept calling people to Allah nights in day quietly and publicly lie your city
for who Angelica sorry fun while you're the one who robbed and no one could turn them away from it
to no one could stop him from doing it like so do I like a Sudoku and who saw done no one could
prevent him from following through with his message yet to be on NASA Fie Andy at him warmer jamea
him well, Mahaffey to him, he would go and he would meet with people
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			in their public gathering places in their,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:59
			in their business and marketplaces. In their private gatherings, you would go and you would meet
with people and talk to people. Well, Phil, my wife asked him in the big like what we consider like
fairs. You know, we have like the state fair of Texas or you have a carnival, or something like
that. So when these special carnivals or fairs would occur, the profits a lot of them would go and
there you would speak to people.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:34
			When Milwaukee Phil had, and he would go out the season of hedge when all of Arabia would gather
together for festivities for congregating business dealings, display of arts and crafts and poetry,
the profits or losses, you would go there and talk to people. Yeah, The Omen luckier who he would
call the people that he would meet mean hurin abdon free people and slaves whether even walk away in
weak people and powerful people were Canadian for PETA and rich people and poor people.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:12:00
			Jamil hollyfield, alika. And Sharon, sour on all of the creation of God was somebody that he turned
his attention to. He did not give everyone anyone priority over another he met and didn't neglect
any particular demographic in society. all of humanity was in arena for the profits allowed him to
present his message.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:51
			What the Sonata Allahu Allah manita woman had in us men to offer him Alessia de aqui, Anna mushy
Quraysh Bill asiya tilicho, Leah t welfare Leah and basically very powerful, very powerful, wealthy
people from the leaders of Piraeus who were insistent upon their ship their worship of idols. They
opposed the prophets a lot. He said, um, and they basically began to oppress anyone who would dare
to follow the prophets Allah dishonor, particularly the weaker people who would follow the Prophet
sallallahu sallam. What kind of mean should the Nazir alayhi ambu, Abu lahab and the most severe in
opposition against the prophets, a lot of feminist followers was his own uncle Abu lahab is more
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:56
			Abdullah bin Abdul muttalib. His name his actual legal name was Abdullah Rosa.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:11
			Rosa was one of the idols of the operation they used to worship. So his actual name his given name
was Abdullah Rosa, he was a son of Abdulmutallab, a direct uncle of the Prophet sallallahu sallam,
his father's older brother.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:26
			He was called Abu lahab. And it's mentioned here in the narration, but basically he was called Abu
lahab. Because of his complexion, he was very light in complexion. But he was not said to have very,
like his cheeks were very red.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:14:12
			That was his complexion. And he was also a very intense individual. When he would speak, he would
become very intense, and his face would become very red. And so lab is literally what is called a
burning Ember, a red burning coal. And so he was called Abu lahab, because his face would look like
it had like a fire inside of it. And he was very wealthy, and he was very rich. And he was very
powerful, influential, he had focused most of his energies. He wasn't considered a leader of at some
level, but he was not a civil leader like he was. He was not very, he was not a civil leader. He
wasn't very active in the service of his community. likeable thought he was a Buddha was more of a
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:27
			business leader. He committed the majority of his energy to succeeding in business in the business
arena. So he was a he was a leader economically of Quraysh. And that's how he was leveraging his
power in his influence.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:34
			And his wife was known as Omu Jamil, her name was Ottawa I've been to herb been omega
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:42
			to Abby, Sophia. She was a sister of Abu sufian. So you can see they were a bit of a power couple,
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:59
			Abu lahab powerful businessman had of you know, the businessman's you know, club or affiliation or
Alliance inpiration maka, his wife is the sister of Abu sufian the daughter
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:20
			have been omega. So she's also a very powerful woman. I talked about this in the very early sessions
of deceit off, where I gave a layout of what Moroccan society Arab society was like. And I talked
about how women generally speaking did not have rights. Women were not treated very properly at that
time. But this was not a general rule. There was an exception to this.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:16:05
			Women who were a very high lineage, women who are from the families of the leaders, like the
daughters, and the wives and the Sisters of the leaders of Pradesh, they did enjoy a very elite
status. They did enjoy and elite status in Mecca and courage. And they were actually somewhat
influential. They had the ear of their husbands and their brothers and their sons. And they were
able and their fathers and they were able to influence policy. And so the wife of Abu lahab was no
different. She was a very influential woman. She's the wife of Abdullah hub, one of the wealthiest
women, the wife of one of the wealthiest men in Makkah. She's the sister of Abu Sufyan, who is a
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:16
			political leader of operation of Makkah, and therefore of Arabia, all eyes are on him. Her father
was also a very influential man. So you can now imagine the level of influence this woman has.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			And
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:26
			so both of the these individuals this couple, Abu lahab and his wife,
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:33
			Jamil, or Robin herb, they basically made it their life's mission to oppose the prophets allottee
center.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:17:03
			And Abu lahab, started deriving, started publicly degrading, started publicly insulting and
slandering him trying to humiliate the Prophet sallallahu sallam, or why this woman the wife of Abu
lahab took it upon herself to make his life difficult. She would go into she would throw her trash,
it's actually said that a Buddha was the neighbor of the profits allotted to me live next door to
him, she would go and she would throw trash on the doorstep of the profits allottee center
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:14
			when she would see him in public, she would pick up dirt and she would throw it on the on the
clothes of the profits allow the seller to make his clothes appear dirty. So then people would look
down on him.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:38
			And she started making the life of the Prophet Salafi some very, very difficult. And she started
talking bad about the profits a lot a setup. And this is basically what they committed their life
to. They started opposing the profits a lot of them there are interesting narrations in which Imam
Ahmed Mohammed Al Rahim Allah, Allah mentions in a narration in his Muslim
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			that
		
00:17:42 --> 00:18:20
			a man reports that then this is before this man accepted Islam. Robbie, Robbie, a bad he reports and
this is before he was Muslim. Later on he accepted Islam at Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi Cinema fija
helia I remember seeing the profits a lot of them before I accepted Islam in the days of my Jamelia
before I accepted Islam fee Suki the images. I saw him in the marketplace. Well who a fool yeah you
Hannah's Ooh La ilaha illa Allah totally who the prophets a lot he said would go outside of Makati,
these marketplaces. Because in Macedonia, he would not let him preach.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:59
			The phrase would basically try to harm his followers, and anyone who would stop and listen to him.
So again, trying to protect the people from harm the profits, a lot of them would actually go to
these outer lying marketplaces outside of outside of Makkah, and there you would go and you would
preach to the people. And he said, he says, I remember him were saying I remember seeing him say to
the people, yeah, you are not so people say that. And I the law say there is no one worthy of
worship but God alone, and to be who you will find success in this life in the next one not so much.
damiana Ali, and the people started to gather up around him to listen to him. What wha hoo, Raja
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:06
			loon? Well, they will watch and behind him would approach a man and this man had a very bright open
face.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			Had a very fair complexion.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			I will do howdy rotini.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:58
			And this man had very bright cheeks. Again, from the description you can realize who he's talking
about Yahoo in Abu Dhabi own Kathy born, and you would run up behind the profits a lot of time and
he would say, This man has abandoned the religion of our forefathers, and this man is a liar. He
would run up screaming this behind the profits a lot. He sort of gets back to the hub. He would
follow the profits a lot. He said no matter wherever he went for Sal to Unruh for kalu I asked Who
is this? What's going on here? Like I wasn't even you know, I heard the message of the profits a
lot. But the behavior of the man was even more bizarre. The elder gentleman's behavior was even more
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			bizarre than what this man
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:08
			was saying, so I asked Who's this old man? Why does he act this way? Heather I'm who Abu lahab and
he said this is his uncle Abu lahab
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:38
			there are multiple narrations and other narration that is mentioned by emammal mehaffey Rahim Allahu
taala. He from robbia to daily he says there are eight Rasulullah sallallahu aleyhi Cinema images
yet to be on NASA feminazi Lamia the room in Allah, that I saw the prophets a lot. He said I'm in
that same marketplace, and he would go to people and he would call people to Allah subhanho wa
Taala. Well, what Rajan aquello jockey do what Janata Who? There was a man behind him
		
00:20:40 --> 00:21:08
			who was very fair in complexion, and he had very bright cheeks were who were pool au anassa eurocom
hada and Dini Kumar Dini Abba Eco, do not let this man deceive you do not let this man deter you and
deceive you and remove you from the religion of your forefathers from your religion to religion of
your forefathers pulled to one another. I said Who is this old man acting crazy? Had the Abu lahab
They told me that this is a Buddha.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:51
			There's yet another narration and he says the prophets a lot easier saying boo La Ilaha Illa totally
who were either Rajan CalHFA who Yesh de la hit rob a man ran up behind the profits a lot of someone
had a bunch of dirt in his hand and started to throw dirt on top of the profits a lot of them from
behind him. Well either who abou Jan, and when narration says that this is Abu john another
narration says that no, this is Abu lahab what either way Apulia yohannes la eurocom Heather andina
calm, that do not let this man deter you from your religion, for him to migrate to Antarctica about
that allottee when he wants to remove you from the worship of a Latin urza the idols that you
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:51
			worship.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:22:28
			And so we see and there are other narrations as well, that talk about Abu lahab literally following
the prophets along the Cimarron throughout the marketplace, carrying a sack of like stones, pebbles,
and as he was walking to distract the profits a lot they sell him because the processor would begin
to engage in intelligent, enlightening conversation with an individual, he would stop and begin
telling them explaining the neuron to them, that ability to take these pebbles and start to throw
them at the back of the head of the profits allotted to them. And you can imagine how disturbing and
distracting and how frustrating that would be.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:38
			And he would start to scream and interrupt the profits. A lot of conversation with people say Don't
listen to him. I know him He's my nephew.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			However, ignore it. ignore it.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:51
			has a he an ambu? This is the son of my brother. I am his uncle. I know him better than you do.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:23:01
			What What am I doing on Kathy Boone? Sir, hey, Ron, he is crazy. He is a liar. He is a magician.
Don't listen to him.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:13
			And he would literally follow the profits. A lot of them do it and follow him around doing this all
day long, all day long, distracting people. And he had become such a circus act.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			That people were actually distracted by him.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:59
			And people would become more curious Who's this crazy man who's this crazy old guy running around
acting like a lunatic. He had become such a circus act. And he kept going with this. He was so
persistent with this, wherever he would go in the private family gathering I told you about he
disrupted the gathering in the public gathering. He's the one who disrupted the gathering near the
mountain of sofa in even when the profits realized he was going around having personal conversations
with people. He's the one that's disrupting these conversations. And it becomes so disruptive of a
force and his wife is also continuing to escalate her opposition to the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:12
			She comes every single day throws trash on the doorstep of the prophets, Allah Islam throws trash on
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and this couple had made it the mission and objective of their lives
to do this.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:27
			Now there's two different sequences in the narration here. I'll give you the more popularly
mentioned sequence, which is mentioned in more well known books of Sierra and then I'll tell you the
other sequence.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:34
			The first sequence is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam literally went about his
business.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			He kept doing what he had to do. He just kept ignoring them as you should.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:48
			And Allah subhanaw taala revealed a surah in the Quran surah that we know as sudo to lab
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			Tibet hiya da Vila. hubie mahtab.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			That may Allah be ruined.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			That Abu lahab is cursed I believe is ruined. He's
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			destroyed my oven out
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:14
			there where he's his wealth and what he earns will not help him in the least bit. Sales law now run
that habit
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:41
			and he prides himself on different different things. He prides himself on his wealth. He prides
himself on his economic influence on the marketplace in Mecca. That's why a lot talked about as well
and Womack has have that's why a lot talked about his ability to earn a living his ability to do
business because he was throwing his weight around. Like, you don't want to oppose Muhammad you want
to live believe in Muhammad? Well, you ain't gonna be able to do business with Mima no more.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			You sure you want to do that?
		
00:25:45 --> 00:26:23
			You sure you want to make an enemy who is the most powerful businessman in Mecca? Who has the
greatest influence in the public marketplace of Mecca, you sure you want to do this? So that's why I
said more often than not just as well because he thought he was rich and powerful. And secondly,
that's why a lot of talks about his ability to be able to earn because he was throwing their weight
around, say, oh snap not on that I have and then he also prides himself on his looks. Everyone talks
about his looks, who love fiery man, the man with fire inside of his cheeks in his face. So Allah
said he will be burned inside of a fire that will have these burning embers or you'll be burned
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:50
			sailplan out on that and I have one more or two Oh, and we haven't forgotten about his wife throws
trash on the Beloved of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, hammer little hottub. Today she carries
the trash from her home to the house of the prophets Allah. On the day of judgment in the life of
the Hereafter, she will carry the firewood she will carry the stones that will continue to burn the
flames in the fire of *.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:27:15
			Like the Quran talks about this Guru hanasi Well, he Jarrah people and stones will be the fire the
fuel of the fire of *, she will carry those people and she will carry those stones on her neck on
her back to continue burning the fuel to continue to provide the fuel for the fire Ville. Fiji the
ha ha volumi mosaid
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:31
			and around her neck will be a rope and a shackle. Like chains like a prisoner would be chained with
the shackle with the chain going for almost like a leash. She will have one like that may not have
fire around her neck.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			Allah subhanaw taala came to the defense of the prophets Allah.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			Allah subhanho wa Taala reprimanded these people, Allah subhanaw taala put those people in check.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:49
			Now this is why we're saying this is one sequence. So this is what happens now. Of course is a suit
of the Quran.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			The Prophet Allison recites it
		
00:27:55 --> 00:28:00
			mentions it to the scribes of divine revelation to the Sahaba Radhika longquan.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			The word gets out.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:09
			Abu lahab hears about it, his wife hears about it. They're enraged.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			They're enraged.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:17
			At this point in time, two daughters of the prophets Allah de Sena
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			muku consume
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			and Rokia
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			they were
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			either engaged to be married
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:45
			or the the formal English term is betrothed to the two sons of Avila. Let me explain what that
means. It's not quite exactly what we think of an engagement but what we basically call like the
caterpillar Kitab
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			then the guy without the rocks.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:57
			Right, so the the general like basic agreement, the paperwork had been signed, the agreement had
been made,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:04
			that these two sons of Abu lahab would marry these two daughters over the profits along the salon.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:16
			But the marriage had not been consummated, yet. They had not moved in together yet. That had not
occurred yet. So call it an engagement, if you will. They have been engaged, but they weren't
married.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			Abu lahab furious at this time,
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:41
			goes to his two sons and the name of the two sons were autobahn and Otaiba or it's about in Otaiba.
He goes to his two sons. And he says that you right now, right here, immediately, we'll go over to
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			and you will break it off with his daughters.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:57
			You will go and basically break off the engagement with his daughters. And you will humiliate him
when you do it. And you will curse him out and abuse him in doing so
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			and
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:18
			Some of the more detailed narrations tell us that one of the sons came to the profits a lot. He said
them, had some level of dignity, some level, and came and said, it's over. My father said, I have to
come here, my mom said, I have to come here and say it's over. And that's it. And he just left
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:26
			and one generations, and the narration goes on to mention that the other son came to the profits a
lot. He said them,
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			grabbed him by his shirt,
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:39
			ripped his shirt, spit on him, cursed him, and said, keep your daughter at home. I'm done with her,
I'm through with her.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			And humiliated a father in this way.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			And the prophets ultimately very deeply hurt by this.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:54
			Anyone who's a parent, anyone who's a father, you know, again, this is something that I oftentimes
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:34
			speak about, I speak about this, I wanted to say I rant in I rant about this, I complain about this,
but I complain to myself, I complain about myself, before anyone else. A problem that we have
collectively as a community is a lot of times when we talk about the life in the seat of the
prophets of Luddism, it becomes such a ritual routine thing to us, where we just read it like were
we reading a Wikipedia page, we just say like I just said it, they went over there, they broke it
off with the daughters of the prophets on his own. And then next, in next in next month, try to
understand what that means.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:39
			Try to understand what that means. If you're a father,
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:45
			and even then, if you have a daughter, and on top of that, if your daughters are older.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:50
			And may God may Allah subhanaw taala protect everyone.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:59
			May Allah subhanaw taala not inflict this type of pain on anyone. But if you god forbid have ever
been in a situation
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			where your daughter was,
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			you know, the engagement with your daughter was broken off.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:12
			Er May Allah subhana wa tada protect everyone. But if somebody's daughter was ever divorced,
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:15
			you know this pain.
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:20
			It's heartbreaking. It's gut wrenching.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			grown men, grown men
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:30
			who are a symbol of strength and courage and power
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:34
			for their families for their communities
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			will cry themselves to sleep
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:42
			because of the pain that that situation inflicts on a person.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:48
			If you've never experienced that, and May Allah subhanaw, taala, protect you.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:33:23
			Maybe take a look at somebody who has gone through them. If you're close to someone like that, go
and talk to them, ask them what it's like. Being in the position that we're in, being in the
position that I'm in. I have people come and talk to me about these situations. I've had very
accomplished intelligent, admirable, honorable, dignified, strong men who I look up to I call them
uncle's. I admire them. They're role models to me.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:30
			But when their daughters go through this type of a situation or go through this type of a tragedy,
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:39
			I've had those same individuals come sit down in front of me and cry tears endlessly.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:44
			They can't speak, their voices shake and tremble.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			They feel like their world has been destroyed.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			It's a very serious thing.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:34:01
			We're not even talking about the pain and the suffering of those, those daughters mukuni and rupay
are the Allahu Allah May Allah be pleased with them, what they must have gone through here.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			And of course, Allah subhanaw taala gave them something better.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			They were married to Earth man men are found or their loved one.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:15
			When the most amazing men that ever walked the face of desert, it's after the profits.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:24
			But if we focus in on the zero, we're talking about the profits allies. Imagine what that pain is
like for a parent for father.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			It can break a person
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			imagine how painful that was for the profits. allottees
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:41
			See, this is when Sirat will change our lives. This will have an impact on us when we try to
understand when we try to actually feel it.
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:51
			And then if this happens through a formality or this happens very respectfully, it's still traumatic
and tragic. Imagine if it happens like this.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			Somebody disrespects you, dishonors you,
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58
			somebody humiliate you
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			Imagine how tough that is to deal with how tough that is to overcome. And that's what the prophets
allowed him went through here.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			So this was some of the initial pain and suffering of the prophets a lot. He said
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:29
			that there was public disapproval. But before anyone else could say anything could take a position
could align themselves with him or against him, because everybody was still trying to understand and
figure this situation out and kind of understand what was going on. Before any of that.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:35
			Before any of that you had the own uncle of the prophets, a lot of Abu lahab.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			Who does the profits lottery some would have hoped
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:44
			that as influential as he was, he would be a voice
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:54
			on the side of the profits allows him campaigning for the profits of lobbies and standing by the
side of the profits alarmism putting an arm around and saying I got his back.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:18
			But he was the most vocal he did not wait for a day, he lashed out, jumped at the opportunity to be
able to not just say I don't agree with him, but then to curse him out in public, to humiliate him
in public, to disrespect him to throw dirt at him to throw rocks at him, to curse him to slander him
to launch a campaign against him. And not only that, but attack his own children.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:26
			Imagine how challenging those first few initial days were. And that's what the prophets a lot of
someone's dealing with.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:29
			But on the other side,
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:31
			there
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:35
			was something else that was developing at the same time.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:42
			There was one of the other uncle's of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam,
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			a very beloved uncle to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			by the name of Abu lahab.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:37:02
			Now, if you are a student of the serum, the prophetic biography the life of the Prophet cism Abu
lahab is no stranger to you. You know very well who abou excuse me Abu Talib is no stranger to you.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			He is no stranger to you, you know exactly what will ptolemies
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:29
			and if you've been attending these Cyril classes here, then you are very well informed about who I
will call him was and what he meant to the prophets Elisa though this was a man who was close to the
prophets allows him from his birth. He was actually one of the most attached people to the father of
the prophets, Allah, the father of the prophets, Allah Abdullah
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:34
			he was extremely close to a Batali.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:59
			He had many older brothers, our bass, Hamza, Hamza radi Allahu anhu, very possibly was younger than
the Father. He actually was younger than the father of the process. I mean, that's why he was very
close to the prophets a lot of time and age, but I bass, Abu lahab there were many different older
brothers, but the one that he was the closest to was
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:14
			he was very close to him, and therefore I will talk to him about a great affinity for Mohammed
Abdullah had a had a lot of had a lot of love for the only child of his brother who passed away two
young
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:23
			who passed away as a young man, I will Dalek was heartbroken at the loss of his younger brother that
he was so close to. And that's why he had a lot of love for his nephew.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:55
			And then on top of that I talked about here in this either sessions, Abdulmutallab the grandfather,
who had taken care of the pro who is very in love with this beautiful child who loved him like one
of his own, especially when his beloved son Mohammed, when his beloved son Abdullah, the son of
Mohammed, the father of Mohammed passed away. Abdulmutallab developed a lot of love for this
innocent child who had lost his father Mohammed Abdullah, and he loved him.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:10
			And especially then, when the mother of Muhammad Amina, passes away salallahu alayhi wasallam, when
when the mother of the prophets Allah is passing away, then Abdulmutallab basically takes it upon
himself to love and to nurture this child.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:14
			His grandson, his beloved grandson, Mohammed Nabina.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:27
			When Tony was passing away, and I've talked about this, when the muttalib is passing away, he tells
his son, his most trusted son, the son that he has, that he has, basically
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:57
			groomed and trained to take over the leadership of Banu Hashim and the leadership of Abu Talib, a
selfless, socially conscious civically engaged, responsible family man of authority. He one of the
last dying requests, one of the last requests like his will see to his son Abu Talib is Please take
care of my grandson Mohammed.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			I put you in charge
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:05
			Have him. He doesn't have his father. He doesn't have his mother. All he's had is me.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:11
			I'm all that he has. And I'm dying. I'm an old man, I'm dying.
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			I need you to promise me that you'll take care of him.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:27
			And you've seen how much I care for him that you will take care of him just like I did. And Abu
Talib on the deathbed of his father, Abdulmutallab holds his father's hand and promises to him.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:31
			That Father, I will take care of my nephew Muhammad.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:44
			I'll take care of him. He's the son of my dear dearly departed brother Abdullah, I will care for
him. You can trust me. And from that day on, Abu Talib made it the mission of his life,
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:53
			to take care and to make sure that Mohammed Abdullah Mohammed Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
knew that he was loved.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			He knew that he was loved.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:02
			And that was a relationship of Abu Talib with the Prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:07
			Now that the prophets Allah with him proclaims his message.
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:14
			And one of the narrations that I didn't talk about earlier I was saving it for here is that
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:28
			in one of those in some of the narration team, the third of those three gatherings where the profits
a lot of them just gathered, the men of Banu Hashim together, the family private dinner, the
gathering,
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:33
			Abu Talib actually spoke up in defense of the prophets a lot.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:37
			He did put a support band and he says, I support you.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:48
			I don't, I don't myself understand or believe in what you're presenting. But I got your back. You
say what you gotta say, you do what you got to do.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:42:31
			And in some of the narration say that was part of the reason why a Buddha was so infuriated. Because
while he was the most influential person economically in Mecca, inpiration civically and socially
the most influential person and be de facto leader of Banu Hashim, for that same reason, because one
of the things that basically were the crown of the leader of Banu Hashim in operation was the
caretaking of the the custodianship of the caliber of the huddle and taking care of the visitors of
to the huddle to the Kaaba, the Hajaj.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:36
			And that was being done by the Civic social leader.
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:45
			And at the end of the day, that would be more publicly visible, and that at the end of the day would
be a little bit more influential.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:43:13
			If not in amongst the new hashima Quraysh. Or at least not amongst the business class. The
businessmen have been Ohashi operation Mecca, then especially in the rest of Arabia, because he was
a public figure that they would see he was the face that they would know. And if he was going to
stand here and say, I got your back, son, I got your back dear nephew, you say what you gotta say. I
would have felt threatened from the very beginning.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:43
			And that's part of the reason why he became so aggressive in his opposition to the profits a lot a
sentiment his message. So we've got the back of the profits a lot he said of the narration say what
Ghana? It says wahala for houfy danika Abu Talib in Abdulmutallab, however I will call him he
opposed Abu lahab. He opposed Abu lahab in his response to the prophets, Allah Jim, what kind of
Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:59
			alayhi taba and the Prophet of Allah Mohammed Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam may have lost
Peace and blessings showered down upon him. He was the most beloved of God's creation to a butadiene
of muttalib loved him more than he loved anyone else.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:35
			for Canada, ya know, Allah He will you know, la he used to shower him with with love and affection.
And he would always do right by him while you dive here on who and he would defend him were you
having and he would he was very loyal to him. Were you Holly for karma houfy Danica and he would
oppose the people in trying to harm the profits a lot he said I'm my I know who Allah Dini him,
Allah, Allah to him, even though he himself might have still believed in the religion of the people.
He's still defended and protected and supported the prophets a lot ism.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:51
			So, it goes on to say for Ghana, it goes on to basically talk about how he kept protecting and kept
defending the Prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he had the back of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:59
			Now, in supporting the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and publicly stating, I got your back, you
do
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:38
			What you have to do, I talked about the narrations previously, that when he saw I live in a Vitaly,
his own son, who was given into the care of the prophets a lot, he said them. He saw the prophets a
lot. He said, I'm praying with Khadija, the wife of the Prophet salami. So, again, somebody that Abu
Talib had approved of their marriage and about Olive had recommended this marriage as well. He sees
them praying together and he sees his own son, I leave and I'll be tolerated, but he sees his own
son, praying with the Prophet Alayhi Salaam. And in the long run, he was very nervous when his
father found out, he tells us, honey Go, son, I approve. Muhammad is a good man.
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:49
			A good man. He's honest, I raised him like one of my own, and I trusted him to raise you. You listen
to him, you follow Him and you try to be like him.
		
00:45:51 --> 00:46:06
			I might not understand this part of it. This worshiping one God is praying in all this stuff. But
what I do understand is his honesty, and his trustworthiness, and his love, and his generosity and
his kindness and his respect.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:12
			And his consideration for his family. He cares for me. I'm an old man now.
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:27
			I struggle with my responsibilities. I struggle financially, but he's always there for me. He's a
man of great integrity, you follow Him, you stay with him, you listen to him, and you try to pick up
some of this integrity that Mohammed does.
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:35
			And Abu Talib supported the Islam of a leader of a loved one. He supported it.
		
00:46:37 --> 00:47:05
			So now that to some extent, initially, now this is still very early in Mecca. I want to remind you
of this, I'm taking my time here. A lot of Sierra books that you might have read like basic
summarize the era books that you might have read. By now. It's talking about the migration to
Abyssinia. We're already there. Literally, we're from here to the migration job senior. The problem
stands on so far preaches to people who love responds negatively. I will call it responds positively
migration to Abyssinia.
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:24
			But I want to point out something here because this is exactly what I pointed out in the beginning
of the sealer session. That's why we spend so much time on his birth on his childhood on his youth
on his marriage on his family life. That's why we spend so much time here. It's because there's some
lessons to learn here, you see that some of the lines are starting to be drawn.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:43
			Some lines are starting to be drawn. And this is a lesson that we need to remember as the home of
the profits or losses from especially us here. And I'll clarify who I'm speaking to just in case
somebody listens to these recordings afterwards. I'm speaking about Muslims as a minority,
particularly here in America,
		
00:47:44 --> 00:48:29
			we have to keep this in mind, when we are still a fledgling small infant community. I'm not
disrespecting denying that there are Muslims who have been here for 100 years, even before there was
mass immigration from the Muslim world, from the Middle East, from the subcontinent, from the Far
East, there was migration to this country 70s 80s and 90s. Continuing to allow, even before that
there were convert communities that were present here 100 years ago, even dating back further than
that. But this much is still true that those were still very, very small, isolated communities, they
were a few individuals. But when we talk about us as an actual major visible community, it's a very
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:33
			recent thing. And even if we were to say we're 100 years old, that's nothing.
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:35
			That's nothing.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:42
			mean it takes a long time to actually make a mark in a place.
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:51
			And so we're still a very small fledgling infant community, and we're finding our feet. And day by
day we're becoming more and more visible.
		
00:48:52 --> 00:49:09
			And people are getting to know more about us and understand exactly who we are. So we have to keep
something in mind from this early period of this era. That when we go out there, and we tell the
message for the very first time will be met with a lot of confused looks.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:13
			People might not outright disrespect or disregard is
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:30
			or rather, people might not just flock to us all of a sudden, I know we're very excited and very
enthralled by the by the Shahada that we receive in a hum delights a blessing that so many people
convert to Islam, but at the end of the day, how many people is it?
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:37
			You know, per major metropolitan city, a dozen people a week.
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41
			But then how many millions of people live in that city?
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:57
			So but slowly but surely we're very grateful and thankful to Allah. We're not we don't want to
demoralize ourselves but we're moving forward slowly. So while the masses might not be rushing,
saying yes, we love this, we support this. We believe in you we understand.
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			And at the same time, there would be
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:10
			Vast overwhelming majority of people might not be rushing to burn or massage it to the ground and
crucify us and, you know, hang this from the trees.
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:23
			Maybe that's not happening, either majority of the people are just trying to understand and figure
out exactly what's going on. It's something new that they've heard. And they're trying to come to
terms with it, trying to come to grips with it.
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:39
			And we see that from the life of the Prophet system. That's what most of Quraysh so most Americans
doing, most of us are home just kind of talking about it like Hey, did you hear? Did you hear? What
What do you think? What do you think? I don't know. I don't know either. That's for most of my cars
doing right now.
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			But there will be a few people.
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45
			Some people are believing
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:53
			Abubakar, Osman Ali, Khadija they do no haritha
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:57
			Dr. Manmohan Singh Saginaw Viva pass
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			sumiya omo Amar,
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:05
			some people are believing some people are are starting to line up behind him.
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:09
			Some people are outright
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:17
			just just completely open about their complete disdain, disapproval, and wanting to
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:19
			completely stop this altogether.
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:23
			Like Abu lahab launching a public campaign,
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:31
			Mohammed's crazy, he's a liar, we need to stop this now. And everyone who believes in Him is a
traitor to his people.
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:37
			And then there are some people who don't believe necessarily
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:45
			a few people who don't believe but still support. Say, no.
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:47
			They're good people.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:53
			He saying what he says, I might not understand I might not agree.
		
00:51:54 --> 00:52:05
			But at the end of the day, that's my opinion. And he is entitled, and he has every right to his
opinion. And at the end of the day, he is somebody who is good, somebody who is beneficial and
somebody who does not harm his people.
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:13
			So I have to stand here and support him and support his right to be able to live his life and
believe in preach what he believes in.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:16
			And that's a bold target.
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:23
			And so we see this is the initial scene. When we look at us right here right now we'll learn a lot
of lessons here.
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:42
			So what do we see? What do we have to basically understand that the people when we are in this type
of a situation, the people who openly oppose us, there is no benefit. There is no benefit in
flinging mud back at somebody who is flinging mud.
		
00:52:44 --> 00:53:04
			There's no benefit in that. There is no benefit in stooping down to somebody's level. Somebody
curses you out, somebody slandered you, somebody says something bad about you. Somebody disrespects
you. There's no benefit in disrespecting them. You're stupid. Oh, yeah, you're ugly. Like there's no
benefit in the law hater fee. There's no benefit in this. It's immature, childish behavior.
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:47
			And that actually contradicts your own message. If you preach faith, and you preach dignity and
honor and nobility, well, you didn't act that way. You set it but you didn't act it. And that's a
common problem we as Muslims have. Again, some people might be a little sensitive. In America right
now, we do get bullied or bullied around, we do get picked on quite often. If it's not murphysboro,
there's not a mustard being vandalized. If it's not some crazy guy on radio or TV talking bad about
us, then it's something else or something else. And somebody making something stupid on YouTube and
putting it out there somebody drawing some cartoons, publishing them in a newspaper, etc, etc. Yes,
		
00:53:47 --> 00:54:20
			people are messing with us. But at the same time, we can't really control what they do. We can
influence we can have some type of an impact on them. But that first begins with ourselves, rallying
our own communities together, and then being able to appeal to the senses and the sensibilities of
the general society that we are a part of. So first and foremost, we got to check ourselves before
we check anyone else. And a lot of times we do not respond and react properly.
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:23
			We stoop to their levels.
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:46
			If somebody posts his posts, something bad says something bad about Muslims, or Islam about the
Prophet system on Facebook, and you go there and you leave a comment on their Facebook post, where
you leave a few four letter choice four letter words. You go there and you curse them out and you
leave profanity there. You did. You just did a terrible, terrible thing. You did not put nobody in
check.
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:53
			You did not defend Islam. You did more harm to Islam than that fool did on his Facebook.
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:59
			Because you didn't stand up. You didn't represent Islam. You are a Muslim.
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:21
			anyone else who is mildly intelligent or educated would say that that person is an ignorant an
educated person who does not know Islam does not know Muslims. And that person is is reprehensible
for doing that to begin with. But when you go out and you do that now somebody's gonna say but man,
look at this Muslim, look how we behaved. Look how he acted.
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:31
			So we have to be careful of our own behavior. The Prophet ism is not stooping to the level of Abu
lahab. He's not becoming like Abu lahab and responsible law, he's taking the high road
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:39
			dignify yourself, dignify your faith, your religion, your oma, your messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			of otalia is supportive.
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:53
			And the prophets of Allah, Islam does not take his support for granted. I'm going to tell you a
story right now. But the prophet system does not take the support of Abu Talib for granted.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:55
			He does not.
		
00:55:57 --> 00:56:07
			But he appreciates it. And he made sure he expresses that with his beloved Uncle, I do not wish to
become a burden on you. I didn't want to make your life difficult. Please forgive me uncle.
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:10
			But I'm just doing what I have to do.
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:24
			And then the profits a lot is taken care of. He's nurturing he's supporting he's trying to protect
those people who do believe in him from falling into harm's way from getting caught in the
crossfire.
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:31
			And we basically are going to have to adopt a similar philosophy and take a lesson from this and go
forward with this.
		
00:56:32 --> 00:56:34
			What time is allotted at
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:46
			nine o'clock? Okay, so we have a little bit of time. So I'm going to take probably about 10 to 12
more minutes, because I'd like to tell you this one little story is a very well known story from the
Sierra from the life of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:53
			It talks about the Quraysh approaching Abu Talib,
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:55
			very famous story.
		
00:56:57 --> 00:57:04
			Athena Vitali, who's one of the sons of Abu Talib accepted Islam later, he says
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:10
			Josh Qureshi, Ella
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13
			grace came to my father.
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:38
			And they said in the evening, he kochava avana in Edina one Machina, that this nephew of yours,
Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, he's really, really caused us a lot of difficulty and he's become a real
nuisance to us, you know, in our marketplaces at the haraam. He's become a real nuisance to us. Fun
who are gonna tell him to stop?
		
00:57:39 --> 00:58:04
			A Batali said yeah, intellect fettuccine bee, Muhammad. He said, he'll go and go get your cousin,
Mohammed, go get my beloved nephew Muhammad. need to talk to him. fontal up to la festa. First, duck
Raj to who min keeps him. Oh, Paula hephaestion yaku beighton sahelian fauja hooba he filled the
Hera t fishy that in her
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:30
			anyways, he says basically I went to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and I basically he was in a small
home using a small house at that time. And I went and I got him and brought him to my father,
Libyans uncle Abu Talib. Any action actually describes the time because it plays into the scene.
Again, these details are preserved because you're supposed to try to visualize what this is like. He
said it was the hottest part of the day.
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:34
			The hottest part of the day. Imagine like two 3pm.
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:51
			Texas in the summertime in Texas, noon is bad, but actually to 3pm is worse. Because the heat has
been building all day. It's been just, it's been pouring down. Everything's on fire at that time. So
imagine to 3pm
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:54
			that hot, hottest time of the day.
		
00:58:56 --> 00:59:01
			He says the profits realize him came in that time. So imagine the sun bearing down, sweating from
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:19
			you know, sweating all over, coming in that extreme heat and arriving to his uncle. He says in
urbania I'm Mika filma utsavam pilot color in Ebony Amica Hola, zombiu naka de m phenol de Merci de
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:42
			Francia here another another. He says that these these cousins of mine in Ebony Amica. or, excuse
me, says these cousins of yours. That was basically a way of saying these are your brothers. These
are your people. These are your family members in America, your cousins.
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:57
			All of these people they say that you caused them a lot of harm, that you caused him a lot of
difficulty, a lot of trouble and adversity. So please stop calling stop bothering them. Stop
troubling them.
		
00:59:58 --> 00:59:59
			For halakha Rasulullah he
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02
			sallallahu alayhi salat wa salam ala sama
		
01:00:04 --> 01:00:06
			one narration says the prophets a lot even looked up at the sky.
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:15
			For poltrona he jumps remember it's the hottest part of the day to 3pm you can see the sun right
there.
		
01:00:16 --> 01:00:20
			He says throne, he jumps. Do you see the sun
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:35
			or Luna on the side of course we do. The prophets Allah Islam says former abeokuta Allah and other
either they come in come Allah and Desh Allah and does tertiary Lu minha charlatan.
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:43
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that I am not capable
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:56
			of going to this sun and bringing you back a flame from the sun. Bala Batali will lie he merkabah
even got to
		
01:00:58 --> 01:01:22
			so the Prophet of Allah ceylonese and basically what he was said it's a figure of speech in Arabic
says from the UK that Allah and other italicum income, I am no more capable of stopping. I am no
more capable of stopping my preaching to you spreading my message preaching my message to you, then
I am any more capable of going to the sun and bringing back a flame from there.
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:34
			That just like I'm not capable, I just cannot go to the sun and bring a flame from there for you. I
cannot stop preaching my message to you. I can't. I'm sorry. I just can't.
		
01:01:36 --> 01:01:57
			Live responded by saying I swear by God, that this nephew of mine has never lied. Now you people go
from here. This isn't a variation of Bahati. Another narration which might sound a little more
familiar to you is that when the crash came and they basically said to him that look, you know your
nephew is causing us so much trouble so much difficulty.
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:01
			So please tell him to stop
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:14
			when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam finally came to Abu Talib and Abu Talib said that look
these people say that you cause them so much difficulty please stop bothering them.
		
01:02:16 --> 01:02:19
			The Prophet of Allah Salaam responded to obatala by saying Yeah.
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:25
			Oh my dear beloved uncle, lo will the artist shun Sufi Yemeni
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:31
			lowood the addition Sufi meaning that if the sun was put in my right hand,
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:44
			while Amalfi sad, in the moon was put in my left hand matar to have an Amara Hata Allahu o Anika
caffitaly.
		
01:02:45 --> 01:03:02
			I, if the sun was putting my right hand in the moon was putting my left hand, month or two had a
camera, I would not stop preaching the true message of God until either Allah had made his message
apparent on the earth, or I would die in trying to do so.
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:04
			I just can't stop.
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:09
			This is my job. This is my mission. This is what I'm doing.
		
01:03:12 --> 01:03:17
			And then it says thermostat Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:21
			and then the profits loves him teared up
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:28
			the profits allows him to to Fabrica.
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:34
			And he cried, tears streamed down his face from his eyes.
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:39
			And he started to turn and walk away from
		
01:03:43 --> 01:04:03
			some of the narrations and even some of the scholars of Sierra talk about why was the prophets a lot
from crying. Some have said that, because he thought that his uncle had given up his age and his
support that it will Dolly will no longer have his back. And so the profits a lot he said, um, was
worried or he was hurt by this.
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:11
			Some of the other scholars of Sierra actually say, and this is something that makes personally to me
makes more sense.
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:13
			The prophets Allah
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:19
			was brought to tears by the thought that he had bothered and troubled his uncle.
		
01:04:21 --> 01:04:24
			This man had raised him. This man had loved them
		
01:04:25 --> 01:04:26
			to care of him.
		
01:04:27 --> 01:04:30
			And this man had supported him so strongly.
		
01:04:33 --> 01:04:41
			And the prophets a lot of sin was very saddened. He was doing what he had to do. He wasn't he didn't
regret his choice. He didn't regret doing what he did.
		
01:04:43 --> 01:04:44
			That wasn't the case.
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:46
			He didn't regret
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:49
			none of that he wasn't disappointed.
		
01:04:51 --> 01:04:57
			But at the same time, the profits a lot. He said him wishes hurt by the fact that maybe his uncle
was hurt.
		
01:04:59 --> 01:04:59
			Maybe isn't
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:02
			trouble. He's old, he's elderly.
		
01:05:03 --> 01:05:09
			He's in so much for me. He's made. He's been such a huge part of me being the man that I am today.
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:15
			And in the old part of his life, the twilight years of his life,
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:50
			I brought him pain and I've brought him difficulty interrupted trouble to his doorstep. He's an old
man, he should just play with his grandkids and do what he has to do. And now he has all these
people who are constantly harassing him and bothering him. Because of me, I wish I could have
brought him more comfort and ease and not been a source of difficulty for him. And that brought the
profits a lot of them to tears because he cared about him. He loved him. I wish I hadn't done this
to my dear uncle. And the profits realized in turn from there, just saddened by the situation.
		
01:05:51 --> 01:05:53
			tears streaming down his face.
		
01:05:55 --> 01:06:04
			And when he turned from there, and Abu Talib looked up and saw the condition of the process of
walking away from their saddened, he said given a fee,
		
01:06:05 --> 01:06:14
			you have nothing Dear beloved nephew, and the Profit System turned back and looked back at a bottle
of tears, red eyes tears.
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:19
			He said in America, you keep doing what you got to do some
		
01:06:20 --> 01:06:34
			work for alma bapta in you do whatever it is that you want to do. For a lucky law Muslim cliche in a
burden, because I will never leave your site.
		
01:06:36 --> 01:06:38
			I will never give you up to these people.
		
01:06:40 --> 01:06:42
			I will never stop defending you.
		
01:06:44 --> 01:06:46
			I am always there for you.
		
01:06:47 --> 01:06:55
			And then even his heart in his era mentions or Abu Talib then recited some couplets of poetry.
		
01:06:57 --> 01:07:01
			He said well la he lanius he Lu la cabeza marry him.

01:09:20 --> 01:09:21
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
01:09:23 --> 01:10:00
			And this only further solidified the love that the Prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had
for his beloved uncle Abu Talib. And this was that third angle that I was talking about, that the
Prophet of Allah Salah him in these early stages of MCI, there were people who believed, who we will
talk a little bit more about. next session. We'll talk about the first 40 believers and we'll talk
about we'll get we'll go through their names and talk a little bit about them. So there were the
believers, obviously, and we'll talk more about that next session. There were the people who oppose
that we talked about
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:39
			parabola hub in detail and how the mandate of the profits Allison was not to stoop to their level of
nastiness, but to rise above them, ignore them and keep doing what he had to do. And then there was
a third element. The third element was that which supported the profits allowed him defended the
process and maybe didn't believe, but still afford it defended him and supported him. And how did
the prophet SAW Salem, engage with them? he appreciated their defense, he appreciated their support.
And he actually even apologized for being a cause of difficulty and trouble to them.
		
01:10:40 --> 01:11:18
			Which only increase them in their support and love and appreciation of who the profits a lot of them
was. I pray and I hope Allah subhanaw taala gives us all the mercy gives us all the ability to
practice everything we've said and heard. And may Allah subhanaw taala, allow us to emulate the
qualities and the conduct of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. May Allah subhanaw taala give us all a
better understanding of the life in the seat of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. You know, I talk I
spoke about this last week as well, just real quickly, in a nutshell, this is very important. This
is very important in the midst of everything else that happens. You know, terrible things are said
		
01:11:18 --> 01:11:56
			or written or drawn about the prophet SAW something that's terrible. And then some Muslims behave
very negatively to that do things that are in contradiction to the teachings in the life of the
prophets, Allah Islam, but at the end of the day, it's very good that we went on Facebook, we went
online, we watched a YouTube video, we clicked like on a statement, and we were aware of what
happened. But at the end of the day, if we do not productively proactively do something, that
remedies this issue, this will this is a cycle that will continue to repeat itself. We cannot be I
was just talking to some youth yesterday at UTD at a university here in town. I remember in my
		
01:11:56 --> 01:11:58
			lifetime, Salman Rushdie.
		
01:12:00 --> 01:12:18
			And then a few years ago, there were the cartoons. And now there was a huge This is a cycle that
will continue to repeat itself. And unfortunately, our behavior will also repeat itself. If we do
not right the ship. And in order to do that make a very minimal effort. Take out 20 minutes of your
week.
		
01:12:20 --> 01:12:20
			Your week
