What are you Theresa Rasool for the first photos and Amina rubbish. Why are suddenly getting washed

praise Him, we seek His help and we ask for his forgiveness. We praise and thank Allah subhanahu wa
taala for once again allowing us all to be gathered here today to listen to the football and to
perform the joumana together. I asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to bless each and every one of us and
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:51
			asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to gather us like we are gathered here but in general for adults. I
mean,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:41
			and how do we learn this week? There is quite a bit happening at our school. We have the chemistry
slash biology week. We have also the orphan sponsorship that is happening throughout this weekend.
Of course next week, we had the character parade that was also happening or happened this week, so
quite a bit happening. And the theme that we had for this week was the Sunnah of the prophets all
following the Sunnah of the prophets of Allah, the ascendance and the Holika Rashi Dune, the Rightly
Guided caliphs. And we spoke about the Prophet sallallaahu Salam in detail. We spoke about Ababa,
Alma Elfman and it shall Allah Allah if we did it, then we will try to do that inshallah next week
		
00:03:41 --> 00:04:26
			as well. These are great examples for us to follow. Since we're talking about character All right,
and we some of us in primary school were dressed up in certain characters. That is great to see you
successful day yesterday. But we have amazing characters also. They were the heroes of Islam and we
need to inshallah resemble them. We need to follow their way. Today is horrible. I want to go
through some stories that have amazing lesson from the colada or rushed you don't I'll try my best
to squeeze it in before the end of the football insha Allah. The first inshallah we will begin with
Abu Bakr, radi Allah one. He has amazing stories. When you see you know how every one of us we have
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:59
			our strengths and our weaknesses, right you have our strengths and we have our weaknesses. And of
course, even the Corinthians, the Sahaba is they had strength and they had weaknesses. They were
human beings, but they use their strength, they utilize their strength to serve Islam, to please
Allah subhana who was out so we're going to look at some areas of their strength, and how did they
use that to serve the Muslim community, in turn to please Allah subhanho wa Taala we'll look at Abu
Bakr Viola one
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:46
			Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah wasn't a wealthy unite for whatever wealth he had. He used to help out
the Muslims. When he was Khalifa. He was barely making enough money, barely making enough money to
support both of his families, but yet he would still try his best to serve the Muslim ummah. So what
he did, he used his strength, say strength was in money at that time, even though he will still give
a lot of it away. But he would use his own body. That was his strength, he would use his himself to
serve others. So what did he did and this was a secret deal that he did. I may have mentioned this
before. Oh my God, Allah one here, he narrates the story, that when Abu Bakr he was Khalifa, I used
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:27
			to notice every photo after photo, he would walk to the outskirts of Medina, the opposite direction
of his home. And then he would come back after a little while. And he was very intrigued why he
would do that. So he said, One day of following him, and I wanted to see what he did. I woke up and
kind of story short of a bathroom alarm would would go to a person's house, and he will spend maybe
a couple of hours there. And then when the sun would rise was getting a bit hot, then you would come
back home. So Ahmed followed him one day. So what he did, now he wasn't trying to peek and see what
he did trying to find false note, because I want to be Allah and he knew that he was Abu Bakr was
		
00:06:27 --> 00:07:10
			greater than him. So he wanted to follow what Obama did in every step. So he wanted to see what he
did. So when I woke up and went back over, have you alone, he knocked on the door, an old lady, she
opened the door, she was a blind woman. And when he found out she was blind, she was a widow. And
she was taking care of all of these orphans in the house. We're talking about open sponsorship. And
this is how we can help out insha Allah. So I will be alone, what he would do was he would everyday
code to this person's house. This lady had no idea that there was a button he used to come and he
was Khalifa at that time. He would go into that house, they would cook food for them. He would make
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:47
			the day he would cook food for them. They would feed them he would clean their house, he would wash
their clothes, he would wash the utensils, the dishes, and then he would go home and all of the
Aloma when he heard that he said to the lady, do you pay him anything? And she said by Allah don't
pay him anything. I don't know who he is. I don't pay him anything. It's someone who comes in does
this for the sake of Allah. And then when Omar will be Allah when we heard this, he said to himself,
instead of adopting Allah about the kava, he said, you've exhausted the Khalifa who will come after
you I will, but how can people follow you? So that was his strength, he did that for the sake of
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:12
			Allah, He hid that and we only know it through Amato, the Allah one of a bucket himself never
mentioned the stories of Honolulu. So think about your strength, what you can do Hamdulillah we are
physically strong. We are quite capable of helping people out. So we should do that for the sake of
Allah serve the people in sha Allah. Almighty Allah, why there are so many stories we can talk about
our Monaldi alone one hit alone.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:44
			But so Pamela to just look at what was his strength. His strength was himself as a leader. He was a
strong leader. Right? People would listen to him, people would not argue. And he was known as alpha.
Meaning he was the distinguisher between right and wrong. And no one could argue against it. Right.
And he was such that he would correct himself if he was wrong. That's the type of person he was. One
day he was reading books.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:30
			And in his goodwill, or before the chutzpah, a lot of men came to complain to your loved one and
said, Yeah, I mean, we can't get married. You know, the women are asking for too much mama. And
we're not able to get married. So I'm gonna be alone. He said, All right, we'll try to fix this. So
in his Hotspur, he got up and he started to speak. And then he said, The issue that men are not able
to get married and my heart is so high. So from today, a woman is not allowed to ask for more than
this much money. And as he was saying, this, a lady by the name of Hola, she stood up. Imagine this
if she stood up from the back. And she said, Who are you to say to stop us from our rights when the
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:59
			process awesome, did you sir? And in the chutzpah now imagine everyone's watching, right. He could
have said something at that time that will put her down but he didn't. He said today, I have been
corrected by this woman. And he didn't go on with what he was about to say subhanallah that was that
type of person. He would look at himself distinguish between right and wrong when there was a
famine. When people didn't have enough food to eat. They didn't have meat to eat, right people going
hungry
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:17
			When meat would come to the family of Walmart, or model, the lumbering eater, he wouldn't even he
would distributed. Or they came when he became so frail or what have you along with a man he was, he
became frail, right, his lips were starting to crack. And his stomach was rumbling. And he looked at
his stomach.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:54
			And he looked at his stomach and he said, The Lord didn't want to burn. He said, Growler don't grow.
He's talking to himself. He said, You will not eat meat until the rest of the people eat meat.
That's the type of person he was his son one day during the famine. It took an apple or type of
fruit. And he started eating it that came for the Muslim. And he started getting the he looked at
it. He said to his wife, where did he get that from? Where did he get that from? This belongs to the
Muslims. This belongs to the other people that are going through hunger, even though his own family
was going through hunger. So his wife said, Don't worry, he actually bought it with money. It's
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:41
			okay. But I'm gonna be a long one. He still didn't want that to happen. So Pamela, he wanted to make
sure his family was in line. That's the type of man he was to Pamela. And that is unusual we need.
Another incident that happened with him is there was a Coptic Christian from Egypt. What happened
was there was a type of horse race or some type of race that happened where the Coptic Christian won
against the son of the governor of evil, I'm going to be lost his son, right? He was competing in
that but he lost and the Christian one but that battle like him, but what happened was the son of
the governor got so angry and humiliated in front of others, that he started to beat up his
		
00:11:41 --> 00:12:28
			Christian. And his Christian was so upset that he came all the way from Egypt to Medina to complain
to Armando Villamar. Now Marathi Allah Juan, he summoned. I'm gonna be Laos and his son to come. And
when they came to Medina, he asked him his truth. They said, Yes, he gave the stick to the Christian
man. And he said, Take justice. Take justice. So even with Christians, with Jews, with Muslims with
anyone, it became justice, it was justice. It was fairness. And then that Christian beat the son of
the governor, like he was being. So Pamela that was justice by Omar Rhodiola. Doesn't matter who it
was himself, his children or anybody else. We can go on and on and on about our Omar Abdullah Omar.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:13:14
			Oh, man, what are the Allah one? What was his strength, the strength was he was rich, he was
wealthy, he had a lot of money, he was known to be one of the wealthiest sahabas. But that doesn't
mean that he kept money to himself. He was also one of the Sahaba, who gave the most in terms of
quantity in charity. That's the type of man he was to kind of like, when the Muslims migrated from
Mecca to Nigeria. In Medina, there was not a lot of wellness to drink water or to get water from not
like today, we turn on the tap, and we drink water, we'll take all of this for granted Subhanallah,
they had to go and get it out from the well, in order to drink water to wash the clothes to have a
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:59
			bath, whatever it may be. So there was a well by the name of big rumor, and it was owned by a Jewish
man. And he wasn't giving out the water to a lot of people and he was charging ridiculous amounts of
money, especially to the Muslims. So the prophets of Allah wa alayhi, WA set it up, and he said, Who
from amongst you, meaning this a harvest can go and buy that wealth, and for you will be paradise
for you will be paradise, so very quietly, have murdered your loved one. And he found this man, and
he said, I'll buy the world for me. And he said, No, I'm not gonna do that. I'll make you money. I'm
not gonna sell you the will. But Aquaman was a very smart businessman. He said, How about I'll I'll
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:43
			own half of it, you own half of it. So I'll pay for half of it. And what that means is one day I
will own the wealth. And the next day, you own the world. So you can sell water. And the other day,
I will run how I like to say, Okay, that's a good deal. I still have 50% of it. So he sold half of
it. And there's many rewinds about that, but it said about 14,000 Did a hands on want to be alone.
We spent a lot of money, a lot of money. Then Rhodiola one came in he announced that I have bought
this world for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. And for anyone who wants to come and take water,
come and take water during my time because the water will be free. It will be free, so that they
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:59
			would line up they would come and they will take water Subhanallah and then when it was the time of
the Jewish man to run the well, no one would come because he would ask for money for it. But he
would sell it the no one would come. So the Jewish man knew that I've been beaten by this man. So
he's
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:44
			Hold the whole thing to all five of your loved one was in goes till today that will exist till today
that wealth exists in the surrounding land that was bought visit it produced date palms would
produce so much revenue so much money that today there is a bank account in Saudi Arabia under the
name of Usman of your loved one. There are hotels in Saudi Arabia, that was bought or that was made
by the money and the revenue from that wealth to canola. All right, and today, that money is going
back to the poor and the needy. So imagine it's a soda bottle in jail for tomorrow, man, even until
now until until the Day of Judgment. Met football. We'll talk about how you have your loved one
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			was thoughtful about the money we'll fill in who will afford.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:38
			In Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the
Sleeman Kathy Ramadan, before we go on to God Allah one, there was another incident the story that
happened which we will ensure the merge to throw the Allah I know the Allah one wanted to get
married, and he wanted to marry the daughter of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, who was forced
him out of the Allama So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam asked Ali, what are you going to give her as
much as Maha as dowry? So I didn't know the Allah when he said I don't have anything to gain. Except
for the shield. He had a shield that he that he had an arm and the promise Arsalan he said to
		
00:16:38 --> 00:17:17
			earlier of your loan, go and sell this, though this, find some money or get some money for this, and
you can pay you the money with that. So I'm gonna do a long thought, okay, great. I'll do that. So
what's the marketplace? Who did he meet in the marketplace? Oh, my God, a loved one of mine, Robbie
Alomar. And also none of you alone. He said, you know, where he's going with Dharma with the shield,
he said that I'm getting married. And so I'd love to talk to him. I'm selling this, and I need to
sell it in order to make some money to pay them off. So man, he took that opportunity to help his
brother out. He said, I will buy a phone. And he paid the Allah one approximately 400 Or just over
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:59
			400 Gold points for that shield, which was worth nothing read. According to your loved one. He
bought that. And he was so happy that he got all 100 gold coins. And he was on the way back towards
the house of the progress. I'll sell them off, man folding back, come back, come back. You said
you're getting married, right? And he said yes. And he goes to him as a wedding gift. This is a
shield for you. As a wedding gift, this is a shield for you. So Pamela, that was the type of man he
was. And this is the type of Sahabas we're looking up to that we want to be like inshallah. Anyways,
it will be a loved one. He had so many amazing stories. What was his strength, his strength was
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:46
			strength, courage. He was strong. He was strong. When he was born, his mother also named him I said
Minnie lion. Now I'm not trying to talk up the red lines here. But he was known as the line acid. He
was also called Hazel, which also means line. So Tama these were the names given, he was a warrior,
he was strong. That was his strength. And so Pamela, just one incident, I want to mention, and this
was during the time of the Battle of condom, it was it was one side, the disbelievers and the other
side was a Muslim. And you've learned to story before and the in Islamic classes as well. Now the
disbelievers couldn't cross through the funnel because the founder was quite deep and quite wide.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:19:30
			But there was a man by the name of Allah. Then Abdullah was a very fierce fighter from the four h
tall, very fierce, he was able to penetrate through he was able to jump through the front of the
trench. And when he came on the other side he said very boastful and proudly, Who amongst you want
to battle me, Who amongst you want to fight me who wants to battle me. And of course, we're talking
about the state of water at that point. So the province has Alabasta companions, which of you brave
enough to fight it because this guy was he is very hard to beat this person. No one wanted to stand
up, or you know the allowances yada, so we're gonna meet, I'm ready. And at that time, Ali will be
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:59
			alone was in his mid 20s. He was quite young. And he was battling someone who had many, many years
of experience at tank he was listening and the process of him sitting sit down. You don't know who
he says is sit down. And then again, he's asking who is certified? And the Prophet asked again and
he said, Have you heard of So Anna Mia rasool Allah wants to fight. He said No, sit down. Third time
he said I will sit down. Full time again. I listened via
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:42
			also Allah Pick me, I want to fight the process that I've said before. And the battle was so fierce
to power between the two. I love your loved one was victorious, he won this battle SubhanAllah. And
he showed how courageous he was. That was his strength. Now with us, and I'm not just talking about
physical strength here, because I love your art Rhodiola. One was very smart in education as well.
He was a scribe of the prophets of Salaam, he would write letters for the Prophet SAW Selim, he was
learning he would use the strength to serve Muslims to serve the Prophet SAW Selim. So if you have
those type of friends, every Muslim should be strong and tough physically. Yes, every one of us boy
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:26
			or a girl, we should be physically strong. But at the same time, we should be strong with our mind
and be smart. In everything else that we do. So I'll school at home, use your strength in sha Allah
to serve Islam. We learn so many lessons from these great Holyfield's and Inshallah, in the next
foodbuzz, maybe we can speak about the great women of Islam and what they have done in getting
lessons from them. But inshallah I want to end off by saying, there are so many of us here by the
name of Muhammad. And Muhammad is the name that is most used in the world. Most used in the world.
They say in the UK, the most common name is Muhammad. In the UK, we're talking about the most common
		
00:21:26 --> 00:22:12
			name is Muhammad. Many of you here are among so many of you here are among so many here are you they
could be people by the name of iboga. Which of course his name was Abdullah. And we have people who
are already here Oh, man as well. There are 40 mins here. There are executives here. There are
failures here. There are so many great there's Halima is here. There are houses here, there are so
many of these names that your parents have given you to ensure Allahu Taala you can resemble them.
So our job is to look at these great heroes, look at these great characters and inshallah become
like them, learn about them, resemble them and become great ambassadors of Islam, and you will see
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:41
			how through your efforts, your life will change, and inshallah Huhtala our Dawa can make our
locality and the people here, view Islam and look at Islam set in a beautiful way you could be
laying down, we ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to make us all recognize these great heroes walk the
path of these great heroes and we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala that through them and through our
efforts that we enter paradise Ada and Allah in the love of Allah
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:50
