			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah who are below the mean? While Salah was salam
ala sailed over the last half year in the Vienna Muhammadan Vida alihi wa sahbihi wa barik with
salah or praise the due to a lot of the world, and peace and blessings be constantly showered upon
our beloved Prophet Muhammad, the master of the first and the last, and his family as companions and
all those who call to his way to the day of judgment by beloved brothers and sisters to our viewers,
our friends As Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah Aloha Hamdulillah, we have another opportunity to share
vital information from Islamic history.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:02:05
			And Islamic history is not supposed to be only words, dates and the names of individuals, but it is
living experiences. Allah subhanaw taala has willed that the Quran itself, the book of scripture of
the Muslims, 1/3 of the Quran is caused us, it is history. It is stories. And so these living
experiences give us a background in order to understand what happened in the past, but also to
understand where we are going in the present. And so, with this in mind, we are looking at different
key shifting points in Islamic history. That is vital today. Because with the crises in the world
getting greater and greater, especially those in Philistine and the Middle East, we are at a
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			breaking point where we are at you could say
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:18
			you know a curvature, we go to destruction or we go to success. And so that fork in the road
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			brings on a pivotal moment
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			where individuals
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			that Allah subhanaw taala raised up, or groups of people
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:51
			for events, natural catastrophes, something epic happened at this point in our history. And it
changed the course of the relationship of Muslims, to the rest of humanity. And so we have been
looking at
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:09
			the pivotal moments that have happened after the death of the prophets on Sunday. And we found out
that one of the key pivotal points was the fact of the deception Devil's deception of the button.
Yeah.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:04:10
			And we understood that the button near movement, and the word button is something on the inside. So
VA here are some people might pronounce it saw here, this is the outside external, and the button is
the inside. And so as a movement, this was given the name button here because they hid behind the
teachings of Islam. They tend to lead toward the extreme Shia teachings. But they were deceived by
the shaytaan. And the result of this deception, and the result of their wanting to cast their own
direction, led many of them outside of Islam. And we studied the moment we studied the different
Imams of the Ignatian area, the twelvers mainstream Shia group. And we recognize the fact that as we
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:26
			went down in this line of Imams, starting with Alia will not be tolerated because the mullah watcher
and Hassan and it was seen zinal RBD and so it moved down to the sixth imam who was Ismail
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			and
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:55
			or excuse with the 60 bomb was Jennifer a psychic. And so Jennifer sodic, the famous learned
scholar, and remember, there was no major major difference between Sunni and Shia at that time,
because everybody's following the way of the Prophet saw someone which is now we call the Sonia and
Jaffa sodic, who died in 765.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:57
			The
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			there had to be a choice
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:11
			We understood that the political Shiism, which was the people who were the sect of ally, those who
are protecting the family of ally radiola, when
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:51
			they needed to protect their leaders, it was a political struggle going on, between the assets,
first of all, may instantly of assets and the family of the Prophet SAW Salem. And so, within this
struggle, develops what they call a little bit meaning a group of people who are surrounding the
leading members of the family of the province on Salman in order to keep the dignity and to keep
that lineage and to keep that blessing going. And but with the death of Ishmael
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:01
			was the son of Jaffa, a Sadek. And many people thought that he should be the 70 man.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:13
			He passed away. And so many people started to follow those who who felt that Ismail should be the
one who takes the leadership after Mr. Jaffer.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:27
			Something happened and so they continue to follow is my yields side or his family and they followed
his son.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			Okay. And
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:06
			the main group of the Shia that time they chose Musa al Kadhim as the servant, Imam and but a branch
of the Shia group who wanted to follow his my Izmail they thought that this may or should be number
seven, right? Although there is doubts about his character and Allah knows best, but Musa Kelvin was
chosen. Okay, it's my yo passes away. But they say no, we're going to follow his son Mohammed.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			Okay, and they said that
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			this is the seventh, this is the seventh Timo.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:39
			And their group became known as seborrhea, or the seven years because their Imam had stopped at
seven. And when I say Imam, it this understanding was, again, when it changed from political Shiism,
to religious, and that is that different cult like understandings came into the teachings. And
		
00:07:40 --> 00:08:18
			they looked upon the Imam, you know, as the ruler of the Muslim world. And so they felt that seven
was the number and they hid themselves away. The mainstream Shia went down to 12, as we learned in
the previous class, and Musa al Calvin was number seven for them. But the problem developed, that we
understood was when the occult when the the magicians living in Iraq, which was the seedbed of
magic. When the magicians like Abdullah ibn Mamoon al Qaeda,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:40
			he was an occultist. And so he became the chief missionary of this group to service seven years,
that became known as Ismailis because they were following Ismail. And so this group, following the
traditions of magic, and occultism, in Iraq,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:35
			conceal themselves, and they hid themselves away in Basra and selenia in Iraq, and they developed a
society based upon secrecy. And it also had gradation grades. So you're one degree, two degrees,
seven degree and you have initiation, you have to come into the secret group, and each degree that
you go higher on gives you rituals. And it's interesting because those who study the Freemason
movement, Illuminati and the secret groups understand that the basis of their structure comes from
this because the Europeans learned many things as Crusaders, when they were living in the Levant, or
in the Middle East. So seven was their sacred number. And their intention was the button it was the
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:59
			inside. The intention was to advance inner knowledge. Right. So by using this inner knowledge, it
releases the person from obligation to the outside, which is Sharia to Divine Law. Okay, so what
they were actually doing, in effect, was canceling divine law. They were canceling the Sharia. And
this of course, is
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:33
			completely wrong. And it took them unfortunately, outside of Islam in this type of strange,
secretive strategy. But what happened was, this is the the weakness of human beings. If the speaker
has the gift of the gab, if he looks good if he has, you know something reasonable, then somebody's
going to follow. In this case, the bots Ania attracted gullible people, and educated people.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:59
			They also attracted people who were looking for monk ism as asceticism or even immorality. So people
who wanted to be so called Muslims, but maintain immorality, they will join the group as well. And
so they create a doubt in the minds of these gullible people. And from there,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:42
			our response came, who responded to this. Now, you would think that there wouldn't be anybody
because true Islam was there. But in this case, they were ignorant, foolish people. There were some
descendants of the Persian aristocrats, the Sustainer dynasty who had been defeated by the Muslims,
and wanted to find some way to come back into power. Also, there were people who were from the
Zoroastrian religion, the fire worshippers who still remain in the land, and one of the way to
continue their fire worshipping by juice type of concepts. And there were those who just literally
wanted power, and they couldn't get it.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:55
			There were arrogant people also, who were seeking hidden knowledge. And by using this hidden
knowledge, they suddenly become important. See, if its outward knowledge.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:40
			You have to know the Quran, you have to know the Sunnah. You have to know Arabic language, you have
to have the the basic teachings of the dean. But there was some people want to fast track,
especially arrogant people. And this is important today, because we have a lot of fast trackers
today in the Muslim world, who are trying to appear to be the leaders of Islam. Then there were some
extreme shields who cursed the companions of the prophets on Sunday, and even atheist philosophers
who wanted a way to destroy the concept of God. So instead of fighting from the outside, because
Islam was strong, that wouldn't work. They came from the inside.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:13:27
			And there were other people who were just confused with the religion. There were also people who
were just immoral. And they wanted some way. They had to stay within the Muslim world. But they
wanted to foster Kate, adultery, drinking, and all types of depravities. So this is my yearly group
develops, and they start to send out missionaries. And it was in the ninth century that the chief
missionary, Abu Abdullah, Al Hussein has she This was his name. He was from Yemen. And he proclaimed
himself to be the door of the mighty Al Bab.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:14:05
			Okay, and he spread his teachings, not really in the area of Iraq, or Arabia, he went to North
Africa. And then he found in Tunisia, he found people, and he found the movement. And so he started
this movement there and it continued on all the way to the time of 1171. Okay, so this is a dynasty,
which is called Fatimid dynasty. And you can see the extent of their rule, actually, they controlled
much of North Africa, up to Tunisia, and Egypt, even down toward the Sudan.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:23
			They controlled Mecca and Medina and Jerusalem. So this was serious. And their leadership, they call
it Khalifa. It was from 909 to 1171. And it was so Todd Salahuddin and our UB Rahim Allah, who
actually ended the fighting but
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:50
			but to try to understand this now, and I'm using this as a background to our next pivot. And that is
that after the death of the eighth Fatimid caliph, this is an Egypt, the group broke into two wings.
So the Fatimid now, this is not the Sunnah. Not the mainstream body of Islam still, but it was the
Fatima two had considerable numbers. At that time.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:57
			They broke into the disease was the eldest son
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			and then the mortality
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:28
			is our who was the brother of the Caliph? Okay, that was tadalis retransfer. They went to Yemen. And
they stayed in hidden in obscurity for 500 years. But it is from Yemen that they spread to Gujarat,
India. Today they're known as border. And you can actually find border groups. Here in Toronto, we
have caught temples, as you can see.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			They appear to be Muslims on the outside,
		
00:15:35 --> 00:16:24
			but they're not actually practicing Islam. Okay. Now, in terms of the mainstream body of what is now
known as Israelis today, that was the site of desire. So desire, the group went to Syria, and some
went to Persia. And from there, they moved over to India, especially to Ahmedabad and Gujarat. And
their leaders became known as the hajus. Okay, that's the Turkic word, things get all confused, but
their leaders became known as the coaches. And they established wealthy communities. They were
really excellent business trade type people. And they were in Mumbai, lower Sindh, which is now like
Karachi area, Zanzibar
		
00:16:25 --> 00:17:13
			and Kenya. Okay, so this is where you see this smiley group up until today. This is like the
heartland vs. Murli group and the leader became known as Agha Khan. And that, of course, will remind
you of this powerful group, that that still exists numbers they do not have many numbers. They're
not practicing Islam. They don't pray like other Muslims, but they will stand in the place of
Muslims. If the main body does not stand up to represent the truth. Another group coming out of
this, Bata Nia type thinking was a group called the Quran and the Quran Mata who's whose leader,
Hampden aramid This is the ninth century in Kufa.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:18:03
			He was an aesthetic hero type of person, he took on the botany teachings and he organized and he
went to the eastern side of Arabia, this is Al Hassan. And especially in the area of Assa. And the
kilometer became really powerful. They were highly organized. The people of Eastern Arabia have
strong stubborn personalities. They took on this cult, how and so they literally attacked Mecca.
It's inside, right, because there are so called Muslims. But it's that strange group again, in the
Muslim world. And they literally stole the black stone. And they brought it to the eastern part of
Arabia for 23 years. And it was finally the baskets and their armies. And they were able to retrieve
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:23
			the Blackstone and then put it back in the cup. Okay. Another group that became famous is a group
called hash machine. And this is the assassins. And their leader, their most famous leader was at
Hassan Al Sabah, and he was from Central Asia Murray.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:33
			But he trained in Egypt. And he established his base of operations to be in Syria, tie in about an
element.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:19:26
			It's interesting to read the story of these assassins, because he literally used drugs, how she
should opium higher, they were disciplined, fear, immorality, he had prostitutes. And so he
literally gained fanatical followers, who would take the life of anybody who he commanded them to,
and then take their own life. So this is the hash machine. And they terrorized the Muslim world for
a period of time. So this is one of these breakaway groups. Now, again, I stress these points,
because people look at the Muslim world is hard to understand, with the case of Philistine and Gaza,
the world recognizes the United Nations, the international courts, they realize that this is a
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:52
			genocide, this must be stopped. And you have this huge body of Muslims. So it's hard to understand
why they don't do something. Reality is that huge body is divided into groups, and it was divide and
rule, which was used against the Muslim world, but we have to recognize that some of it came from
our self.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:59
			The Prophet SAW Selim did not speak from himself. He spoke with knowledge from above seven habits
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:33
			and authentic hadith. And our beribboned, Saudia said once the Prophet SAW Salem prayed the morning
prayer with us, and then turn to us and gave us an intense sermon. Now imagine this. It made our
eyes filled with tears. Our hearts quivered. And someone then said O Messenger of Allah, it is as if
this was a Farewell Sermon. So what do you enjoin us to do? But think about that. It's so emotional,
that it's like it's his last sermon.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:58
			And the Prophet peace be upon him said, I advise you to fear Allah, and to hear and obey your
leader, even if he may be a slave of Ethiopian origin. Now, this is not a racist statement. Because
slaves were of different nationalities. The Ethiopians were not weak people, by the way, because the
Ethiopian army would have would have conquered Mecca.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:34
			time of the birth of the Prophet So Salah Mohammed feel the year of the elephants, if it wasn't for
Allah. So they were not weak people. But there was some tribes they had a love hate relationship
with the Ethiopians Daxamites and so it could be a Persian slave and Arab slave, European slave. But
in this case, an Ethiopian slave which for many Arabs, they, they were afraid and detested these
people because they almost destroyed the Kaaba. Okay, so, he says, even if it's an Ethiopian slave,
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:45
			then the Prophet peace upon him said, Surely he among you, who lives after me, will see great
dispute.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:57
			Okay, now look at what's going on. The prophets predicting this. So, I lay come be Sunday, it was
sooner than qualify Rashidi, so adhere to my sunnah.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			Right? That's my way, my methodology
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:07
			and that of the Rightly Guided caliphs, who will come after me.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:31
			stick closely to the Sunnah, buy into it with your molars. And beware of newly invented matters in
religion better for every invented matter. Religion is a cursed innovation. It's a bidder, which
will lead you astray. So this is a really important,
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:55
			foundational Hadith to understand the flow of history and the prophets of Salaam is showing the
major body that we now call an Asana. Well, Jamar, right? So this is the people of the Sunda the
united body of Muslims, some say Sunni today, but this is not an originally,
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:05
			terminology being used. It just is Muslims is the other sunnah. People who are following Prophet
peace and blessings be upon you. And so
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:23
			that is your basis. Now, pivot pivot. And I want to put an interesting note here, to maybe give a
little added benefit to those who are watching, especially Canadians and Americans, because I'm from
the Midwest.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:24:15
			That really, and this is deep, basically with Canada, that the first Canadians were actually the
indigenous people. The word Canada comes from Canada, which is an Iroquois word. That's the First
Nations native people word, right? These are the first nations which for the most part came across
the Bering Straits. We're talking 10 20,000 years ago, right. And they came into Alaska, they came
into Canada, the Arctic Circle region. And they were so ingenious that they build their homes out of
ice. Just imagine the temperatures without central heating, is an igloo. Okay, and look at the
clothing that they're wearing. And you're gonna see a connection between these people, the original
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:36
			Canadians, the original Americans, the indigenous people, and the people of Central Asia because
they came from that region. We all recognize their Mongolian right? And Mongolian but sometimes the
truth is right in front of us, and we don't recognize it. I went to the north to do Dawa.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:59
			Can this is in the Northwest Territories. And there is a masjid called the masjid of Midnight Sun.
Okay, because sometimes in the summertime, the sun never sets. And so we did an open house. And this
is an extra benefit I'm adding to the class. And so the people mainly have the
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:36
			Which and invalid, invalid to not Eskimos, Eskimos is a bad word. Okay? But the indigenous people of
the north, we opened our master to them. And so these are some of the youth who came in the masjid
and Sudanese brother is showing them around and look at two of the youth. Okay, these are indigenous
native children. Now look closely at their faces, right? They wanted to wear a hijab, they saw the
sisters in hijab. And they said, Is it possible for us to wear the hijab as well?
		
00:25:37 --> 00:26:10
			So we did it. And look at their look. It's amazing. When you when you look at them. Now I want to
make a contrast. This is the Cheyenne here. Here's the witness. Okay. Look at them closely. These
are Turkmen women. This is from Central Asia. Now, look at the faces of these children. Now look at
the Turkmen women. It's the same people. But one tribe went far north over to Siberia. They went
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:35
			to the to the to the to the east, and they went across into America. The others stayed there in that
land. Look amongst the MCMAP people who lived in the eastern side of Canada. And clearly you can see
their features. You see their clothing, right? This is a Mongolian people who came across. They
believe that one God also was this game.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:46
			Okay, now, let's go back to our pivot. And that is the rise of the Turkish people.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:27:12
			The entrance into Islam into our world. These are ogos the Turkmen warriors. And they were that that
type of sheepskin looks like afros in the 60s. They would look like some brothers with afros or even
Somalis are Ethiopians. But this is them. Now many of you are following
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:40
			the the the different kick boxes and the different you know Khabib you know the UFC fighters, right?
He puts you have a white one that they were in Dagestan. Okay, so but these are August. These are
the worries. Now this is a different nation. They live in a cold, inhospitable climate and they are
born with a sword.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:28:05
			The area is where that red Sir this is the basis of where they come from. Its present day Kazakhstan
damask, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Okay, so you can see Mongolia to the
right there cousins of Mongols right there in the same basic, the same way that the first nations
are cousins.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:17
			So it's in this area where contact comes in. And this contact first comes in the area of Kurdistan.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:34
			Now, you see, to the right in the center in that area, the ambassador dynasty that had taken over
power from the Romanians, you remember in our discussion about the Omega dynasty, studying with Mao
here,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:29:07
			they were overtaken by another dynasty that chose one of our best uncle's the prophets on Sunday,
called our baskets. And they were ruling from Baghdad. They were a valid Halal fit. And they were
expanding, according to the good forbidding evil. And they were expanding Eastern especially because
their base of operation was in a place called Hora Sun, which is an Afghanistan. So they saw the
importance of Central Asia.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:59
			And they went north giving Dawa, and spreading to that region. And they came into conflict with the
Tang dynasty of China. The Chinese were expanding West. They remember the Silk Road. So this was a
lucrative road that would go from China, all the way through into Europe. And so whoever controls
that center point is controlling riches coming from both sides. So the ambassador met, the tang
Chinese had a great battle called tell us in year 751. And it was a group of car lock. Turks, who
were mercenaries they would fight for whoever give them the best pay. They were fighting for the
Chinese and they saw the Chinese were corrupted
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:11
			They love the fighting spirit, you know, of the Arabs and Muslims who are coming. And so they went
over to the Muslim side, and they defeated the Chinese and 715.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:53
			The Abbasids saw these people now who, what is this fighting spirit? You remember those Turkmenistan
brothers, how they look? What is the fighting spirit of these people? And so they brought them in
first as mercenaries. They accepted Islam. And because it fit with their concept of a one God that
they did have. And so they started to develop and probably the most prominent of the different
Turkish nations in that region was a group called the Seljuks. Okay, so the Seljuks
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:54
			they
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			became first mercenaries.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:39
			And then they became highly educated in Islam. Because remember, the slave mercenaries. It's not
like a slave with ball and chain. This is a person who has, you know, a horse and who has property
was married and, and eventually even became the rulers. Okay, so this dynasty of the Seljuks started
to move west. Remember, the Mongols started to move and the Mongol invasion started. So Seljuks and
many of the Turkestan to move west. Okay. The Seljuks. They took on Persian culture.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:51
			And they learned Arabic language they learned Islam. Okay. And so you could you could call this
dynasty this is your pivot.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:59
			Okay, the Seljuk empire. It was a Turco Persian Sunni Muslim empire.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:57
			Okay. And it came from the Kinnick branch of ogos. Remember the ogos Turks. Okay, now this is the
sadhana. This is your pivot point. Because the Fatimid influences is huge. And the teaching button,
the teachings, which of course is far away from the true teachings of Islam, the Crusaders are now
coming out of Europe. And so the Muslim world was in danger at this point in time, and Allah
subhanaw taala raised up Turkic nations, led by the Seljuks. And their empire was founded in 1037.
By toggle tutorial, they say toggle Bay, they will call his brother charity. Right. And so they
developed and they literally became shadowy leaders of the Muslim world, because the ambassadors at
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:04
			that time. They were the believers, but they became very weak. And so it was the Seljuks
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			who protected the Sunda.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:24
			So this is your pivot. This is your pivot. Because the butter Nia teachings Devil's deception
spreading, somebody had to stop it. And this is something that we're looking at today.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:34:18
			With the decline of colonialism with the destruction of lands throughout the Muslim world,
especially now we're seeing and bizarre, and we're seeing and Philistine May Allah subhanaw taala
help the people who are suffering in this region and bring peace and justice to the land. pivot
point, we're at a pivot point. Now we need this pivot point. We have to pray to Allah subhanaw taala
for this pivot point. And so at this point in history, it seemed like destruction. You had
assassins, you had Fatimids you have all types, business people from the botany or the oceans. And
so it seemed dim, the Sunnah needed to be protected. And so the soldier crops, and probably the most
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:21
			prominent of the Seljuks was our arsenal.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:27
			He was the son of Chagatai Bay. And he expanded
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:40
			their holdings, taking over what is now Armenia and Georgia. And he actually came into the Byzantine
Empire. So this is now present day Turkey. Yeah.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:51
			Okay, and he clashed with the Christians. The Christians at that time, the Byzantines, they have
become corrupted. And we had seen
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:59
			their attack even on the Prophet SAW Sunday, when they heard about the message, and the Prophet
Salam went out
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:41
			Tabuk but they didn't come. Later on in the time of the holy cola fall Russia Dean, I will back out
Homer with Ben. Muslims expanded especially in Omar's time, they were able to overtake Jerusalem,
and much of Syria in that region there in the Levant. And so the Crusaders, you know, was touted to
be a dagger put into the body of the Muslim world. And so the Byzantines, this, these are the ones
that was the center of the poison that was spreading in the Muslim world and oppressing people
throughout the region. And so it was Al Assad,
		
00:35:43 --> 00:36:06
			who met the Byzantines had a decisive battle, the battle of Manzi Kurt. So this is your pivot now,
the rise of the Turkic nations, the Battle of massacre in 1071. And it was so important because it
literally opened up Anatolia,
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:31
			it opened up Anatolia, that whole region of present day to Akia. And it defended the lens of Syria
and Iraq at the Seljuks became a powerful dynasty and a protective dynasty for the Muslim world.
Now, following al Arsalan, his successor, Malik Shah
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:51
			took over and he expanded and consolidated now, amongst his was he is now this term was ear starts
to come in, which is so like a minister, Chief Minister, there was the most famous disarmament book
and there was tangible Okay, so,
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			the dynasty spread
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:03
			and to huge territory now look at the territory that was controlled by the Seljuk empire. Okay, so
this is amazing.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:34
			And again, the Abbasids they are technically speaking the rulers, because they were the Khalifa. And
they had been in, in power and we respect the family of the process on the, for all intensive
purposes, the real rulers of the Muslim world, at that time holding the Sunnah with the Celtics, and
this is the extent of their dynasty. Their culture is an amazing culture,
		
00:37:35 --> 00:38:20
			if you can study it, and if you follow Turkish different series that are coming out, some of them
are excellent, translated into English. And it can actually go into the Seljuks and our our salon.
And to show you this important history, this pivot it changed the condition of the Muslim world. It
defended the center of the Muslim world that was under attack by the Crusaders and by the 40
minutes, and then eventually by the Mongols themself, okay, so these, this is their culture. These
are some of their coins that they emitted, and you'll see their architecture there. Now, some of
what one of the greatest achievements of the Celtics, however, was in knowledge, so they were not
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:46
			just warriors. So under the xoml Mulk they develop the the madressa Zamia. So this would be the
largest Islamic educational institute in the Muslim world at the time. It was the most prominent in
the Muslim world. And they were great scholars who came out of the desert Obeah amongst them was the
Persian astronomer Omar aka yam.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:39:47
			And also the great scholar Imam Al Ghazali. Rahim Allah. These are great scholars, and so many came
out of this, this OMYA school so it was not just a pivot militarily. It was also a pivot
educationally. And Imam Al Ghazali was a very important person to study. He actually exposed the
teachings of the button here. This is a pivot now. So it's not just militarily right, it is a pivot
educationally, emotionally, philosophically, what did the member Ghazali do? He exposed the belief
in dual nature God is almost like the yin and the yang. It's like a Buddhist concept of God. He also
exposed the fact that they believe the imam in each age is infallible, and nobody has infallibility.
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:59
			Esma ke exposes this is not the teachers of the Sunday. Some of them in that we saw with the hash
machine and they even denied the afterlife. And they wanted to get everything in this world smoking
hash
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:44
			Having prostitutes and killing okay. And so he exposed this, this immorality licentiousness that
they had. He also exposed the fact that they were diverting from the Quran and the Sunnah to the
hidden knowledge and remember the button and fire, right? So he exposed the weakness because really
in the ARIA teachings, which is the teachings of Islam, it has sponsored as well. He has the
teaching test theater, knifes you it has the teachings of the heart, it has the teachings of the
next life, the teachings of the grave, it's enough to cover both, but it doesn't give the botany
people the ability to lie and say that it's Islam.
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:50
			Okay, so the Imam also are exposed the fact that
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:58
			the basis of our teaching is Prophet Muhammad seldom an ally.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:12
			You know, being you know, his door. Okay, Ali is a great scholar, but this thing went to the extreme
concern how to read the alarm. Okay, so this was the great
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:42
			Seljuq Dynasty and the teachings of the zombie Institute. This is a pivot in Islamic history is a
time when things appear to be going down. Allah azza wa jal changed the condition on Muslims. We
changed that within ourself, made the right intentions, and then everything changed. We are at a
pivot point in our history today.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:42:04
			And it is crucial to pray to Allah azza wa jal to raise up those who can hold the Sunnah. And those
who stand against injustice, and help the innocent people in the Muslim world. So I want to open up
the floor for any questions that anybody may have concerning
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:09
			these teachings, floors open questions
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:19
			you can put these questions
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			into the into the chat room.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:23
			Okay.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:27
			Just raise up here,
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:29
			so
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:37
			pumped to allow there are different people who are coming in. And let's see if you have any
questions
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:45
			about this history that many people are unaware of, which is so important. And
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:53
			any questions floor floor is open for any questions. Anybody has? We'll just take a look there.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:03
			Yeah, so the question is that, you know, this is a deep question. It is the other Sufis close to the
Shia.
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:05
			Okay, now,
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:41
			the Shia, we have to remember it was only a sect that came out of authentic Islam. And so, we love
our the Buddha be tolerated the long run. We love Al Hasan, we have seen so there is some closest
Sufis also the extreme Sophie groups that went outside of the cautious soba to solo of Emmanuel
Junaid and Emmanuel Ghazali. They tended to want to also have a type of secret knowledge and they
develop what is called Silsila.
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:47
			So, they developed a chain of secret knowledge as well. And
		
00:43:48 --> 00:44:01
			this went outside of the Quran and the Sunnah was in danger, he was in danger of being deceived by
the shape time or the other biller who also deceived the botany people.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:17
			So there is some closeness there and there are actually groups within because remember that the sill
sellers of the main groups have to sort of go back to a worker or to ally
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			so this is where the connection with Alius
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:38
			Sufis for the most part, however, sooner they follow the solo they do not follow the Shiite
teachings. However, the connection with the with the chain through ally and some of the practices,
there is some connection there, but but they're not actually the same.
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:46
			Okay. Let's look and see if there are any other questions on that anybody have their concerning
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:57
			this pivot in Islamic history. And we will continue on and it's important now, because we need hope.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59
			Things seem to be
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			Getting worse. in Palestine our
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:21
			division seems to be there but when you study history you realize division existed in the Muslim
world in the past. And Allah was merciful to us and rose up in the Muslim world, those who carry the
banner of Islam who stood for the Sunday
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:58
			and as the Prophet SAW, Selim said Ali can be Sunday at the sunnah to hold off on Rashidi Abdo Are
they happy mirages? You know, follow my son, and the son of the Rightly Guided caliphs, by onward
with your molar teeth, in other words, hold on to it strongly, as strong as you possibly can. And so
that is the Mercy of Allah, and that mercy is still with us today. So we thank Allah subhanaw taala
for the ability to find important parts of our history. And we pray that this pivot could happen
today.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:30
			But this pivot could come about Allah would raise up amongst the innocent people who are suffering
amongst the Muslim masses who are being held down by corrupt leaders. May Allah raise up that which
will bring back peace and justice to the lands of Islam and the lands of the world. I leave you with
these thoughts. And I asked a lot to have mercy on me and you were awkward. Eduardo. And Al hamdu
