Abdullah Hakim Quick – Pivotal Moments in Islamic History #8 Letters to the Kings

			Okay, shake you can go ahead
		

			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Sara walima,
Arkadin, Nabina, Muhammad and while Ali he was happy about it.
		

			I'll praise the due to Allah, Lord of the worlds and peace and blessings be constantly showered upon
our beloved Prophet Muhammad, the master of the first and the last, and on his family as companions
and all those who call to his way and establish his sunnah to the Day of Judgment, my beloved
brothers and sisters, to our friends to our viewers, As Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Alhamdulillah we thank Allah subhanaw taala for this gift of communication, whether we are
communicating life, you know, at our center or online,
		

			may Allah make it easy for us to transfer this information and to keep our spirits high. In these
very difficult times, that people are living in today,
		

			we are looking at pivotal points in Islamic history. And the reason why we are looking at these key
juncture points is because with these great events, these great happenings change came about in the
Muslim world, the relationship between Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, his
companions and the rest of the world changed. And we are in need of this so much today in the world,
with our Ummah being in tremendous crisis. We are facing calamities, we are facing crises throughout
the world, especially the situation in Philistine and Palestine and Gaza, it has reached critical
points. And so it is it is really incumbent upon us to try to stay optimistic, to try to have the
		

			greater picture of things and realize that much of what we are going through today has happened
before in the past. The difference with what happened in the past and today is probably social
media.
		

			Because now we are actually seeing what is going on. With our eyes that follows us around we are
able to get eyewitness testimonies, we are able to hear sounds to to see things which are horrific.
Another issue too is the level of technology. And so the weapons of mass destruction that are being
used by the enemies of Allah and the enemies of really humanity and life have reached a point where
		

			we are actually in danger of destroying everything.
		

			And so it is critical for us to stay grounded, that we will not be lost in the events that are
around us, lost in our emotions, but we are grounded in the last revelation. And we are grounded in
the Sunnah of the way of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. And with this grounding
we are able to withstand withstand what is happening. And the Prophet peace be upon him spoke about
in a famous tradition that the nations would pounce upon this ummah
		

			they would call each other in a way like somebody's calling their friends to eat food. So just
picture somebody sitting down on his bed and calling his friends to come to her. Come and eat this
food. You know that is here. And the Companions asked the Prophet SAW Salem will it be that we are
few in number, our main pillar Yama, either the other Salalah we're not we were very very small in
our numbers and the proud
		

			Hassan Salam said well enter your mighty then cathedra you will be of great numbers.
		

			Well, I cannot come with Kousaka Goethe sale,
		

			you have great numbers you are numerous, but you will be like the froth of the scum, with which
which moves along. On the oceans, I lived in Cape Town for a period of time. And there in the south,
on the coastline is a lot of foam. And so you see this foam, and as you look down at the sea, and
there are seaweeds and sticks, and it seems like there's a lot happening, but actually, it's very
weak. If the tide carries it in, it goes in, if the tide goes out, it goes out. If a force, the wind
carries it to the right, it goes to the right, to the left, it goes to the left, this is the closer
		

			they appear to be large a number. But yet, they have no foundation, there is no weight, the roots
are weak, and so they're shifted around as the times and
		

			the Prophet peace be upon them, then explain to his companions, that Allah subhanaw taala would take
the fear of you out of the hearts of your enemies, and he would put a one who put a disease in your
hearts.
		

			And that's very interesting, because this fear is not a fear of a terrorist, or the fear of
something evil. No, it is, is it is might and respect. And the the Muslims in the in the beginning
of whenever we practice our Islam we had is and this is this might also means a disease that comes
out of it. And disease is something dear. So you are you are respected you have high worth, that'll
be taken out of the hearts of your enemies. Look at what is happening today look at how the
international media is dealing with the plight of the Palestinian people, especially the Muslims.
Look at his house is dealing with us what happens in Afghanistan. Look at how it is dealing with the
		

			confusion in Sudan and so many places. But if you look at the Ukraine, if you look at the European
countries, America, Europe, then you'll see a totally different type of respect and action. That's
that is that's being Aziz being somebody that is very dear, and having great value. So the Prophet
said that would go
		

			and you would have a disease and they said what is this disease? And he said hope but dunya ricotta
here to note. You will love the life of this world. But you will hate to die.
		

			And so when this hope when this love of the dunya this greed comes in our hearts. We don't want to
get rid of it. And we see it now with the Gulf countries we see with Muslims in many parts of what
they don't want to lose their World Cup. They don't want to lose their money they Lamborghini or
their new cars. Are they a rave and they are selling discotheque and, you know, they're constants.
They don't want to lose the dunya because they love it so much. And that's foolish because Allah
Allah told us when Mel hieratic dunya ilimitado grow the life of this world is nothing but material
deception.
		

			And so we're being deceived, literally deceived. But this would come into our hearts. And you can
see the reality now and that has happened historically to Muslims. And then a shift came, a wake up
call came and that wake up call is hitting us all over the place at all different parts of the
world. And so it is when that wake up call comes, or when a pivotal event comes, it changes our
relationship with the world. It changes our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala and that is what
we need today.
		

			And when we look at the life of Prophet Muhammad Sal Sal them of course, Islamic history, the best
generations the best example of Islamic history is the beginning. Because the prophets of salaam
said hate on us colony, toda la nina your Luna home to Medina, yo Luna home, the best people are in
my generation, and then the ones that follow them and then the ones that follow them.
		

			So the best examples is this first generation because not only is it important on a human level, but
on a divine level Allah azza wa jal used
		

			For the people at this time, as a base for revelation. And so the revelation is interacting with the
life of the prophet saw Salem. And by interacting with his life, it gives us meaning. It creates a
type of roadmap, a template that we can follow to the Day of Resurrection. And so in looking at the
life of the prophet saw Salem, we see in the medina period,
		

			the great Salah Abu Dhabi, and that is the great treaty that was made and who they be in with a
Qureshi who wanted to destroy the Muslims and would not allow them to make over a treaty was made
the Prophet peace be upon him and his followers, they had to go back to Medina. And that appeared to
be a loss. But actually, it was a great victory. Because what happened was war was averted. And we
see what happens with what we look at Palestine, we look at other places When war comes, is
destroying everything around it.
		

			And in peace, it's a different situation. So with this treaty, the war is put aside. And a treaty
means two equal sides are coming to the negotiating table. That's a victory in itself. In the same
way, when the so called humanitarian pause, happened. And when hostages are being exchanged between
the two struggling Park parties, the dddd illegal state and the innocent, innocent Palestinians,
they were equals, because as hostages are one side causes another side, that's similar to who they
be in the sense that the fact that you are equal changes the situation.
		

			And it also enabled peace to spread. And so the same way you saw with that humanitarian pause, you
saw what happened during that short period of time, and things are changing all around the world.
And so you see that the Israelis, they started it back again,
		

			because they wanted the confusion that comes with war. And so in this case, and that's why, around
the world, we are all struggling to get a ceasefire to end the hostilities in Palestine to end it
anywhere where Muslims are under the gun in the world. We want peace, we want a ceasefire, because
then we can carry out what we have to carry out. In the case of Prophet Muhammad SAW seldom, he and
his companions, they were able to make the Omura, the lesser pilgrimage, and they returned to Mecca,
and they were able to visit their homes and the Quraysh couldn't do anything. So that was a victory
in itself. Not only physically, because they were able to return to their homes and even see their
		

			properties and whatnot. But psychologically, it was a great victory for the believers. And and so
it'll fit this great chapter. Allah tells us that this is fed time, Medina, that this was a clear
victory. Now what happened after this time, and we're talking about the sixth year after the hijra,
and this is a pivotal year for the believers is that now the Prophet SAW Selim began to look out,
the war is halted on the inside, there is peace in the land. So now he can go back to his Prophetic
Mission, and take it to a new stage of development. So this calm, that happened, enabled the new
stage to evolve. And that was where the guidance would go, not only to people in the Arabian
		

			Peninsula, but the guidance would go to all of the people of the known world. And so it is during
this time,
		

			that messengers were sent with letters to the kings of the world. And the Prophet SAW Selim was was
unleaded person, because there are only a few people who wrote At that time, in the Arabian
Peninsula. They were intelligent and memorize 1000s of lines of poetry and but it was not it was an
oral culture. So it's not and so the Prophet peace be upon him then had a special ring, a silver
ring, he wore a small finger to be developed, and you can see what is an artist's conception of the
impression of the ring? And it is saying Muhammad Rasul Allah. And so with this, he would sign so he
would use to stamp the letters. And so people we realized that this is genuine because no
		

			nobody else would dare to wear a ring similar to this. And so with this, he sent out letters to the
major empires of the known world. And when I say the known world, people at that time in terms of
the Mediterranean terms of Africa in terms of Asia, that was what is known. We recognize because we
are living in the Americas, that there were great civilizations across the oceans as well. They
Peruvian civilization in Pedro. Also in Mexico, the Olmecs. The Mayans, and then later the Aztecs.
These are major civilizations, there are pyramids, that are the size of the pyramids in ancient
Egypt. Also in North America, the city of St. Louis Cahokia, it had over 100,000 people in the city,
		

			they had three storey buildings. So there was civilizations but it was so far away in the periphery,
Australia being so far away in the periphery, that it was not well known to the people in the
heartlands of the world civilization at the time. So the areas they knew about
		

			this is the next stage, the areas they knew about, he would then communicate. And that is his mess,
his job as the messenger of Allah alayhi salatu salam, remember, a Rasul is like somebody carrying a
letter. Okay, so it's not his letter. The Quran is from Allah subhanaw taala. And so his job was to
give it not only to the people in Arabia, but also to the rest of the world. And so, let us are now
sent out to the kings, and it is reported that in the 60 year, the same year that a letter was sent
out to under Joshi. And let us go back a little bit and recognize that the companions of the Prophet
SAW Solomon and Meccan period, they made a type of Hijra a migration, not to Medina, they went to a
		

			harbor shop, they went to Ethiopia, and they traveled into you know, that region, and they met the
great Najafi. In English we say the Negus he was actually a ticket, amen. And so in the ticket a
language of Ethiopia, they say the gash the gash. And if you go to Ethiopia today, you can actually
visit the town of the gash. And there he is buried. 15 Sahabas died also during that period, when
they were there in Alhambra. And their graves are there in the village of the gash and you can go
there from Addis Ababa, you can fly to the gash, and you can actually visit this. What is important
about this history is that the Joshi and that's his title, just like Caesar of Rome, his name was US
		

			Hama,
		

			so as Hama under Joshi, he had first
		

			taken in the believers. And it is thought that there was some sort of letter that was also sent in
the beginning. But basically, the Muslims were represented by Jaffa, Ibn Abi Tada Graviola. One,
even in the first higit with Mandy Binney, if you had actually gone, you know, they're sort of big
Sahaba, who actually had to represent the province on Sunday, but it's the early face of the
Revelation it is during the Meccan period. And so it is during that time that our US hammer, he
accepted Islam secretly, because they were Christians, we say to a Coptic Christians, there was a
struggle between remember the Council of Nicaea, where they struggle between, do we believe in one
		

			God? Or do we believe in the Trinity? Remember 325 ad, Constantine, the Council of Nicaea. And the
council's decided to take the Trinity, and that was decided to be the basic faith of Christendom.
And with the power of Rome, it was sent around the Roman lands, but there were also people who
refuse to accept this. We recognize this right from the beginning they were more hate doing. People
who believed in one god Arias was probably the most famous of these people who believed in one God.
And so, up the Nile, when you go south up the Nile, the religion had spread, Mark
		

			disciples actually died on the Nile that was in Lower Egypt, what is not present in Egypt. And so up
to now Arius himself was a Libyan Bishop, but he was based in, in Egypt. And he was Alexandria. So
the message would go up the Nile, and what up denial to and harbor Shah, to the people of what is
now Ethiopia, and Iran, Syria. And but there was a struggle going on like the rest of the Christian
world, between those who believe in one God and those who believe in Trinity's. Okay, so that
struggle is going on. So as Hama had to be secret about it, he embraced Islam, and he sent his son
automa, according to our sources, with 60 writers to announce Islam.
		

			Unfortunately, they perished at the sea. And they were not able to make it to Medina, but Allah azza
wa jal revealed to the Prophet SAW Selim, through the angel, about the Islam and the Jash, that he
had actually embraced Islam, but a letter was was sent to him. Now, this map, again is very
important, again, sort of a modern day map, because there was no like Riyadh and Kuwait and
countries like this, but you can still see from this map, you see Mecca, you see Medina, now go
across, right across from Jeddah, and mechanicing. Port Sudan. But then if you go now South, because
they went south, to what is now a smarter, erotic area, so this is where they landed, right on the
		

			coast, there of erotic area. And then they went up into what is now called Ethiopia, that's
Highlands. So they went up into the highlands. And so
		

			it wasn't the sixth year that we know for sure. This letter is now coming. It's very interesting to
see the style of the letters now this is the Prophet SAW Salem, you know, who's starting off as an
individual in Mecca, not knowing that much about the world, just a few journeys, Syria. But now he's
an international statesman, a person whose people were basically idol worshipers who did not
understand the people on the book. But now, he is dealing with interfaith, he is calling people of
other religions and using amazing techniques. And you can see on the left is a copy of what is left
of the letter. In the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul. We have what we believe to be the originals of the
		

			letter. So in this letter, the basic translations is saying in the name of a lot of Beneficent, the
Merciful from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah to the Joshi, Osama tempera of Al Hubbard
		

			and then he would say in his style, Suleiman Allah minute Tamia
		

			peace be upon him who follows guidance. See, that's an interesting way to give slaps, right? It's
connected with guidance for those who follow it, and Baba. So he said, Verily for You, I praise
Allah, the One whom there is no deity except Him, the soul King, the holy, the source of peace, the
protector and The Guardian. Now, if you look at the beginning of the letter, because you're dealing
with the people of the book now, and we recognize the Quran teaches us that although they are gone
astray, they have something left from the book. And so you deal with them in that sense of toe heat.
So in a toe heat ik sense, is speaking to under Joshi in a prophetic way. And he's praising Allah,
		

			the Creator and Allah is known, those who translate from Arabic, even Christians use the word a lot
to mean the God with a capital G.
		

			So he confirms Tauheed and then he gives the descriptions names and descriptions of Allah subhanaw
taala. This is a divine way of actually giving Dawa so the soul King, Dr. Holy, right, the source of
peace and melakukan produce a Salaam and movement and Haman, he's coming out of the Quranic way,
source of peace, protector, Guardian.
		

			Now he continues, so he's switching now. So he say I bear witness that Jesus the son of Miriam is
the spirit belonging to Allah and His Word, which he cast into the chaste and excellent virgin
Mariam, and she thus became pregnant by means of His Spirit, and his ins
		

			ration with Jesus, in the same manner that He created Adam, with his hand. This is a beautiful way
of approaching the people in the book. Why is it because the Christians are the only people who
believe that Mary was a virgin.
		

			And also the only people who believe that easily Israel, Jesus was born without a father. Nobody
else believes that even the Jewish people who she came from rejected that.
		

			And of course, the other religions don't even know about Jesus and Mary. And so this confirms now
		

			to the heart of a Christian This is most Christians are in shock, even today, when they find out
that we believe in the divine conception. And we believe in the virginity and the sanctity of
Marian, may Allah be pleased with her. And so he gives a little description, right, she becomes
pregnant by means of ALLAH spirit, and his inspiration, raw, breathe into her, and then he qualifies
it. Now, this is interesting, too. Because many people would say, you know, if you're in a debate
with Christians, they would say, okay, so if you say that Jesus is special, and that God, you know,
breathed his spirit, then Jesus is the Son of God, because everybody's going to have a father and a
		

			mother. So this is qualified.
		

			And the promises Salam said, in the same way that Adam was created, with his end. See, so in other
words, what is saying that, if you say that Jesus had her mother, and no father, so therefore he
must be special to Son of God. Then you say, Well, what about Adam, Adam had no father, and no
mother, he was created by Allah's hand, other words, confiar coin be and it is, so what is he he
must be like a god, you see, beautiful qualification.
		

			Then it continues. And the Prophet peace be upon him says, Verily, I invite you to Allah, the One
who has no partner, and to friendship and allegiance in obedience to Him. So this is organizational
now, he wants the People of the Book, to submit to the Creator, right, and to be in line with the
last message. So this is a way of, of making the transition for them from their book, into the last
book.
		

			It is a beautiful way. And he ends up in a deep way. And this is what many people are now, you know,
looking at the code and again, not only for the spiritual part, but also the tactical, tactical
part, the strategic moves that come out of the Quran, and Prophet Muhammad SAW Saddam's life, read
his Sierra, go into his life, and you will see strategic moves. That's why we're studying this
pivotal moments. We're not just looking for a spiritual feel good. We're actually looking for
pivotal moves that are being made here. The Prophet says, Verily, I invite you and you and your arm
forces to Allah Most High.
		

			What is he saying? He's saying that I am inviting you and your army that is one of the greatest
armies on earth at the time. Because they had elephants, you remember that the Prophet Salam was
born and humble feel in the year of the elephants.
		

			And so he is inviting the irresistible army of the Ethiopians to Islam. That's a tactical move.
Because if they accepted Islam, with that army, then the story is over. They would return as
believers back to the Arabian Peninsula, there would be no birds, stoning them, they would now open
the way up for the Prophet Muhammad Sal Salam, not only would he take Arabia, but with that army, he
would take the Romans take the Persians, right and move to the rest of the world. So it's very
tactical move, that the process of selling we need to be able to look to the syrup and his life for
tactical things. He ends the letter by saying thus I have delivered the message and given you
		

			counsel, therefore accept my counsel. Peace be upon he who follows the guidance. And so
		

			it's interesting to note that the jiashi he embraced Islam and Zazzle mod, you know, this very
import
		

			Wouldn't book the deals with the life of the prophet moments on so we will play him very important
text. And in this, you know, it says, From Negus, on the jiashi, Osama, to Muhammad, the Messenger
of Allah, peace be upon you are messenger of Allah and mercy and blessings from Allah besides whom
there is no God, I have received your letter in which you have mentioned about Jesus.
		

			And by the Lord of the heaven and earth, Jesus is not more than what you say, we fully acknowledge
that which with you have been said to us, and we have entertained your cousin and his companions.
Okay? That's Jafar, right? I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah, true, and confirming
those who have gone before you. I pledged to you through your cousin, and surrender myself through
him to the Lord of the Worlds. That's amazing response. And, in fact, in truth, he embraced Islam.
		

			He was not able to really live long enough to have a major impact on his country at that time,
because it was a great civil war. And eventually the Companions made their hijra, they left and have
a shot to Medina. And he passed away. And it was while they were there, that the promises solemn
receive inspiration of his death. And he lined up the companions, and they prayed so lotto Janaza
Linhart him, it is Janaza prayer for the absent person, first time in history by Natasha.
		

			Key Point is let instead of going on extensions, extensions. Now this is not just
		

			immigrants, it's not Mohabbatein, who are escaping oppression. Now, this is different. This is now
the Messenger of Allah, the representative of the Creator, who is extending the hand of the message
to other people, this is a pivotal moment. Islam is no longer an Arabian thing.
		

			It's no longer just within the confines of that Peninsula, it is now spreading to the known world.
		

			You also sent a letter to a local cus Jurij in a matter of Egypt. This is missa.
		

			And Egypt, of course, as we know, is down the Nile because you got to go north down. And that is the
seat of the Great Empire of Kemet, where the ancient Egyptians lived, and you can see in your
picture, the Great Pyramid of Giza, this is probably the most amazing structure ever created by
human beings. Especially if you look at it within its time framework, millions of blocks of granite,
some of them were in between 10 to 20 tons, no cement.
		

			People can't even figure out how they did that up until today.
		

			Okay, so this is a major Empire you're dealing with you. Also the Nile Valley, is one of the key
sources of civilization and economy at that time. Because the goods that were coming out of the rich
Delta on the Nile, were feeding people in Egypt, but also in the Mediterranean and the Arabian
Peninsula as well. So this is a very key person there who is living there in Egypt. And so this
letter is basically saying in the Name of Allah, Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful from Muhammad,
the slaver of Allah, and His Messenger to Macau cos phi say Sergent of Egypt,
		

			right or the theme, and crypt
		

			peace be upon him who follows through guidance. Therefore, I invite you to accept Islam. Therefore,
if you want, security accepts Islam and if you accept Islam, Allah the Sublime shall reward you
doubly. But if you refuse to do so, you will be the burden
		

			and of the transgression of all Coptic people.
		

			So this very serious, what are you saying to my focus?
		

			And you know, he ends this letter
		

			in Surah Ali Imran verse 64, where Allah subhanaw taala is telling us, I read the bIllahi min ash
shaytani R regime, Claudia al Kitab, tallow, Illa Kalimantan Sawa and pain in our Boehner calm Allah
nabooda illallah wa ala understory can be shaken when a toughy the bar do not abandon our Baba Mindu
Nila by interval
		

			Hello trucos How do Vienna Muslim?
		

			So
		

			Allah said, say, oh Muhammad,
		

			oh people of the Scripture,
		

			come to a word that is just between us and you that we worship none but Allah, that we associate no
partners with him, and that none of us shall take others as loads besides Allah, then if they turn
away,
		

			say, be a witness that we are the most. So this, again, is a very key strategic way of dealing with
the situation. And my focus was an intelligent person. And this is the way to pimp tea. Okay, the
Coptics word Egypt is really coming out of this. And so
		

			he thinks about it. Because remember, people in Mediterranean, they're exposed to different forms of
Christianity, of Judaism of all types of worship. And he listens to it very closely. And he actually
had an interchange with the companions that came and asked about the prophets on Sunday morning to
find out something about, you know, his personality and his dealings and whatnot after reading this,
and realizing that this could be the messenger that everybody was waiting for, because it appears
that all of the people have a book. Here, we're expecting a messenger to come.
		

			So therefore, the caucus.
		

			He is now in this delicate situation. He's diplomat. So he says,
		

			I'm not accepting it right now. I will consider this very strongly. And I want to send a gift
		

			to Mohammed ibn Abdullah sent them again.
		

			And so he sends.
		

			He said, I want to send him to noble women from the Coptics. They will be his handmaidens. And I'm
sending them back. These handmaidens is right hand possession, whatever you want to call it.
		

			It's not slave in the sense of beat somebody in there in rags. Now.
		

			These would be handmaidens that would serve the Prophet peace upon one of them. Her name was Maria,
Pip tiga. So Marissa,
		

			the Coptic may Allah be pleased with her from a noble family.
		

			When she got to Medina, the process of solemn then took her into his company. And, you know, he
freed her and married her. And there's some dispute in terms of, was it actually freedom? Or Did he
accept her as a right hand possession? You know, meaning, you know, a handmaiden because that's a
type of contract,
		

			which is similar to marriage, and is permissible, when you have the right conditions. In any event,
she was his wife, had she actually bought his only son, Ibrahim, may Allah be pleased with him who
passed away when he was very young. So Maria, welcome Tia, very important.
		

			Because also said, sitting and sitting was the Prophet gave her to her son, even dabit. Brother in
law, he was the poet of the process on the monitor is most important companions, who would verbally
represent him on many occasions. So this is another letter going out now to the donor,
		

			caucus response. And you can see how his languages and what he actually said, he says, Peace be upon
you, I have read your letter and understood its contents. And what you're calling for. I already
know that the coming of a prophet is still do, but I used to believe he will be born in Syria. I'm
sending you as presents to mates who come from noble Coptic families, clothing and a steed for
writing PSP party. That's very diplomatic in those days, when Now, none of that analysis this is now
to the west, east. Let's go east, the products and sell them send the letter to the kisser and this
is the Sassanid Persian dynasty. Now you're looking at the great powers of the world. Hence, the
		

			letter is said to him. And it basically reads the Name of Allah the Most Beneficent, the Most
Merciful, from Muhammad the Messenger of Allah to kiss Lord king of Persia. peace be upon him who
follows through guidance, believes in Allah and His messenger and testifies, there is no God but
Allah, Allah, no associate that Muhammad is a slave and messenger. I invite you to accept the
religion of Allah. Hi
		

			I am the messenger of Allah sent to all people in order that I may infuse the fear of a lie in every
living person, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject the truth. accept Islam as
your religion, so that you may live in security, otherwise you will be responsible for the sins of
the Medusa. These are our students. Okay? Now, here, it doesn't mean fear, there's no large army
coming. This is where it's the ISM is the mind and the power, this is the Creator. He's reminding
them is a creator, and you have to return to that creative. So my job is to instill this within the
people of the world. Now, this is different situation,
		

			because the Persians had some hostility
		

			and the Kisara at the time, he was angry, he took the letter, and he ripped it up with the products
outside of them heard this, he basically said Missouri kalonzo Musyoka, may Allah rip up his empire.
		

			And he was so arrogant that he said to his governor,
		

			who was controlling Yemen, and that's interesting today, you see the relationship between the
Persians, Iran and the Houthis of Yemen, right? This is back in the time of the process of it was a
province of Persia. So the Persians have had very close connection with this part of the world. And
so he sent to his governor as an
		

			arrogant person. He said, you know, send some of your your troops, arrest this man, arrest him, and
then send them to me. So I can deal with him. This is the height of arrogance. Like you'll see some
of these world powers today. But all that's changing in front of their eyes.
		

			The Prophet SAW Salem now when the messengers reach Medina,
		

			and they're coming in.
		

			In that arrogance, the prophet had received an inspiration. And that was that this kiss Rob prevents
that he actually passed away, he died.
		

			Okay. And some reports say that he was murdered by his son.
		

			And so the messengers came forward and the pro Salam then informs them what happened to their king.
		

			How is this possible? They were dumbfounded. So he didn't just arrest them or executed? No, it is a
form of Dawa, on a prophetic level. He informs them what happened in their own empire, and send them
away when they return to us and they frantically contacted Persia and realized, yes, the king was
dead. And so by Zan and his people, they embraced Islam, because they knew this is from above, seven
habits. Persians, however, the societies.
		

			They refused. And they continued in their hostility, they attacked the Muslims. And eventually the
Muslims responded to them, and the society dynasty fell. And it's amazing because within 30 years,
you see all these letters going out. Within 30 years, these territories basically came under the
influence of Islam.
		

			And now, that's Persia, one of the great empires in a world. Let's look at the other great empires
in this Mediterranean, so called Middle East, and that is the Romans.
		

			And so the letter is sent to the Caesar, the Caesar of Rome. Okay. The great Caesar. And it says in
the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
		

			for Mohammed, the slave of Allah and His messenger to erogenous
		

			king of the Byzantine. Okay, it's not Hercules, that strong man that needs to is her Oculus, okay.
And he is the emperor of the Roman Empire. This is the major empire that had been so powerful in the
world is now Byzantine present yet. So it switched from Italy, Rome, it switched to Constantinople.
Case, but the name Rome is still used. The Quran has a chapter called a Rome, sort of Rome. Right?
And so Rome is still being used, although it's not Italy, and the Italian. So from Muhammad, the
slave of Allah and His messenger to Iraqi lists the king of the present.
		

			Blessed are those who follow the true guidance. I invite you to embrace Islam, so that you may live
in security. If you come within a folder
		

			Islam, Allah will give you a double reward. But in case you turn back upon it, then the burden of
the sins of all your people or the scene shall fall on your shoulders. And then the same verse is
being, you know, said, you know, quoted, you know, at the end, which is so important, right? Because
this is now showing, it's a middle way, let's get something between us right type of negotiation on
a prophetic type of interfaith level. And,
		

			again, this is a deep letter, and scholars have analyzed this letter for a long time, because the
word you know, they've translated here from out of the text translation that I got, it was saying
that, you know, the sins of your people ice, but the IDC can also mean,
		

			the followers of areas of rec II. So you will have the sense of people who believed in one god,
		

			okay, these are the ones that are amongst the people of Rome. That means that the Prophet SAW Selim
was looking out, he was looking towards other people to other man's, and he wanted to protect the
believers and one God, this is a very important point, because this shows now this was not conquest
for conquest sake.
		

			But this is now the defense of
		

			the defense of those who believe in one God.
		

			And her Oculus, very intelligent person as well, having been connected to
		

			Christianity, to Judaism, to all types of belief that has Constantinople. And he then questions and
by the will of Allah, just, you know, the cause of that Abu Sufian was in the area of the Roberts,
because they used to go up to Constantinople, in order to trade.
		

			All of these areas were very important, even the bazaar itself, which has been destroyed today with
a young woman that that is a key place on the coastline that historically has been a meeting place
on the Arabs and the people of Mediterranean.
		

			So, Iraqis questions, I will Sofia, tell me about this man.
		

			What is his personality like, and his followers, what type of followers does he have? So we have the
appearance shows that he's not a rich man is not a king. Right? His father was not the ruler of our
people, and is not rich physically. But he has nobility. So He is respected. That is people tend to
come from the masses, masses, not necessarily the upper class, and they stay with him. They don't
leave once they come in, they don't leave.
		

			And so these type of questions asked by her Oculus showed a very intelligent mind and an irregular
stem.
		

			He wants to buy the buy buy time, in a sense, you know, but
		

			the reality is, they're in front of
		

			Abu Sufian. And you read some text, where he later on said that it's shocking that even the kingdom
of the Romans, The Emperor is afraid of Muhammad.
		

			And some texts even say the right dead inside of Abu Sufian. He was accepting Islam right there.
Because he knew this man in Arabia, so distant to this powerful empire affects people like this. I
need to get on board.
		

			So you see, all these things are happening at this time. on an international level. This is not the
politics of the world. So Islam does have to deal with the politics of the world. And Muslims need
to come out of their holes. That's their Muslim leaders, timid Muslim leaders. Look at how the
province of Salem is speaking to them. Except the style embrace Islam. You want to be safe. This is
how Muslims are supposed to be speaking to the powers of the world who are destroying
		

			children who are breaking international law, committing genocide in front of our eyes. This is the
Prophetic example.
		

			Miraculous did not accept Islam. Eventually, they were hostilities that went on. And by the will of
Allah. The Roman Empire eventually fell to the hands of the believers.
		

			This was
		

			Part of the shift the pivoting that happened during this year.
		

			Now, many people are not aware of the letters that were sent in the Arabian Peninsula. We have come
across already with the Obama. Remember, he wasn't the person who was from Beirut, and Eastern was
on the center of Arabia. And we came across him and how he received the letter and eventually
embraced Islam. These are some other letters sent in the Arabian Peninsula,
		

			the province of southern dispatch and other liberal enemy to the governor of Bahrain. And Bahrain
was not the small little place that you see in your map today. It was like Al Hasa. It's like the
eastern side of Arabia. So all that area, there was the barn a very important place.
		

			And he sent a letter to the governor, inviting him to embrace this man. And this leader on Monday or
even sour, he wrote the following letter.
		

			I received your injunctions. Prior to this. Prior to this, I read your letter, which you wrote to
the people of behind, extending to them an invitation to Islam. Islam appealed to some of them, and
they entered the fold of Islam, while others did not find that appealing. In my country, they live
by genes and Jews, and therefore you may inform them on a treatment to be extended to them. So this
is no different religions, how do we deal with different religions?
		

			And the Prophet SAW Salem then responded, and he wrote a letter saying the name of anonymous
bananas, the most merciful, Muhammad, the Messenger Allah to know them and sour, peace be upon you,
I praise Allah, with no associate, I be witness that Muhammad is a standard messenger. Thereafter,
I'm not bad, I remind you of Allah, the Mighty, the glorious. Whoever accepts admonition does it for
his own good. whoever follows My messengers and acts in accordance with their guidance. He, in fact,
accepts my advice. My messengers have highly praised your behavior. You shall continue in your
present office, see, always dealing with people diplomatic,
		

			give the new Muslims full chance to preach their religion. Okay, so he wants people to embrace
Islam, I accept your recommendation regarding the people are behind. And I pardon the offenses of
the offenders. Therefore, you may also forgive them, or the people of Bahrain, whoever wants to go
on in the in the Jewish Nigerian fake, should be made to pay gesture. So this was a time when even
the Jews were allowed to pay the Jizya you know, taxes isms on the mind. And so again, it shows how
Islam is dealing with the people.
		

			It's amazing, you know, the level of diplomacy and the level of his honor and respect
		

			that is shown by the prophet peace and blessings be upon. So let us continue. And there was a letter
to how the of Yamama and he was in the center of Arabia, same as the area of Tamama. And then later
was sailing. But again, people are in that part of the world arrogant. And that was the breadbasket
of Arabia too. So they're really rough, bedtools Arrogant people. So he said, Okay, I'll embrace
Islam, if you let me be part of your government. That's my condition. And when it came to the
province of Salam, he basically said, you know, this earth belongs to Allah in our house on the line
urethral Harmonia, Charmin evadne malarkey about
		

			this earth belongs to Allah. And he will give it to whom He pleases from his worship as the best
reward is for those who have the consciousness of Allah.
		

			So this is not about giving out political portfolios or money. That's the letter to holder.
		

			Now the letter was sent to the sheriff of Syria, the US Senate, and they're the ones right on the
border right now, like Jordan, and right up top of northern Arabia and that area there. And he's
very arrogant person as well. They're connected to the Romans. And so has also refused to arrogant
and refused to embrace Islam and became part of the troops that fought against the Muslims. And so
the letters continue to come out.
		

			Jafer Amen. You're the man. You're the on the tip along there.
		

			He is a very interesting person as well, very intelligent, and he embraced Islam. He was diplomatic
and realized it and so he accepted Islam.
		

			and became an important ally, you know, right back from that time. So the letters are now going out
over 22 letters are sewn, sent to the known world. Okay. And you'll see in the Quran and Sarita
Sabbath
		

			sort of the NBR Allah subhanaw taala brought verses from the Quran. So it's showing to the Prophet
take it to the next stage to take it to the next date. He tells him in certain anbiya wa Mahara Sal
Naka Illa Ramadan anatomy, we have sent you as a mercy to the whole world. He then tells him insert
into tells him also in certain art off
		

			he tells him where ma Sanaka Illa Kapha Tenley NAS, Oceana Mona Lyra, well, that can the actor
enough ly animal, and we have sent you has a comprehensively to all people, to warn them and to give
them glad tidings. But most of the people they know not. And so the court had directed him,
Revelation directed him and the pivot came, you see, the peace comes in stability comes in.
		

			The Prophet SAW Salem now, having the guidance and the wisdom makes a move to the greater part of
the world. And that is why we need to be constantly struggling for the ceasefire to stop these
hostilities, to give the Palestinian people a chance to breathe
		

			and also to collectively come together to really deal with this occupation completely as the way it
should be dealt with.
		

			So I want to open up the floor now for any questions that anybody may have. Concerning this talk,
this is a pivotal moment now in the sixth year after the Hijrah that you see expansion, expansion to
the rest of them.
		

			So the floor is open for any questions you may have concerning this information floor is open.
		

			We'll look here and see.
		

			To meet Yeah, I'm right here. Yeah. So are there any questions that came in the box? Or anytime we
we just have general comments?
		

			Are we read a couple of them out? Salaam shake I went to dark room with your sons from use of the
lottery.
		

			We do have a question here now saw Michael share the Prophet peace be upon him send any letter to
now UK?
		

			No. At that time that was to distance. I mean, like I say, part of the world was in the peripheries
and what is now the UK that was even considered by the Romans to be one of the most uncivilized
places in the world. Right? You can't even deal with these people. Okay, so so that was not a known
Empire at the time. But in the UK, and that sounds strange too, because the arrogance of the of the
of the British but no, they did nothing was sent up there at that point in time.
		

			We have another question here. It says I have some questions pertaining to to the dough lateral
Islamia. I don't think that is the topic of tonight though. Right? The Dolla dolla Islamia, though
little Islamia?
		

			Yeah, I mean, this is taken into a, you know, political, you know, type of level. We're not looking
at that we're looking at here that the pivotal moments and how you know, Dawa. How this actually,
you know, the Dawa is connected to our diplomacy in the world. So that that that that top that would
be a relevant question to tonight's session. Anyway. floor is open for any other questions anybody
has.
		

			Yeah, though, seems like we don't have any more questions. Yes, so Hunter, Allah, may Allah bless
you, everybody who has come tonight and those who will see and we'll continue on with this new
streaming system that we have, you know, the cold weather has now come in this part. And so, we will
continue you know, with our streaming and we hope to have more questions and more interaction. You
know, as time goes by, I leave you with these words are accurate that 100 Nabila Alameen wa salam Wa
