Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu wa Salatu was Salam ala so you didn't know Mohammed you were
either early he will be here or Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman
cathedral, Eli Yomi, Dean and Mubarak. Now the question here is
about actually the Allahu anha sorry, it's about actually the
Allahu anha that her felida and her virtue is being expressed over
other women. So what exactly is it referring to? Because you have
this issue in this case, it seems like if the Read is better than
other foods, and Aisha Radi Allahu unhas virtue is, is like that over
other women, that it means that she must be the most superior
women, superior of women. However, there are other narrations which
show that there are other women who are superior to actually Allah
Juana. According to some narrations. For example,
Hadith out of the Allahu anha is considered to be superior to Asia
and have more Fidella and more virtues then then, it shattered
the Allahu anha it's mentioned that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said Lemuria Hiram in Hadiya he was not given better
than Khadija. So Khadija, the Allahu Anhu must be in the best.
There's a narration in blue Abee Shaybah that Fatima to say either
to recite your real agenda, Fatima, or the Allahu anha is the
leader of the women of Paradise, which gives her for the ILA. So,
you've got Fatima now are the Allahu anha and Khadija the Allahu
Anna who are also being who are also were being informed that they
were superior. Then it mentions in the same durations but the Meriam
binter Imraan were asiyah wa deja, that Fathima are the Allahu anha
is the Savior of the nisa Jana, the leader of the women of
Paradise after Maria minty Imran after Maria Maria has Salam isa
isms mother asiyah, the wife of Pharaoh and Hadiya Radi Allahu
anha. So again, we see some other hierarchy there for either so if
if it means that if Fatima or the Allahu anha is superior to sorry,
if Hadith or the Allah one is superior to Fatima are the Allahu
Allah then for certain she must be over Aisha Radi Allahu Allah as
well. According to that narration. Some say that this hadith of the
Alana had passed, passed away, then actually the Allahu Anhu got
married to Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. So when the prophets Allah
sent me saying this about Aisha the Allah, he's referring to the
women of her time, not the time of not in general, just that she is
her virtue over other women over time, but then, still, you get a
problem with the fact that Fatima, the Alana was still alive. And she
died six months after Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam so she's still
there. And from this hadith, you also find that Fatima Delana was
superior. But this hadith is saying Fatima was I should have
the Allahu anha is more virtuous. So what about then, are the MA
have mentioned that you can't compare anybody with somebody
who's a part of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, somebody his
own children. So if that's Fatima, then there's the rest of us and
other daughters as well. So, I shall read the Allah one in that
case stands no chance against any of them because they are part of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Now, all of this will be
inshallah reconciled. But among those durations, which tell us
that Khadija the Allahu Allah is the most superior than I shudder
the Allahu anha is that we see a number of things. Firstly, we see
that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave Salaams to Aisha
the Allahu anha from Jibreel Allah His salah. gvi someone say convey
my Salam. So I show the Allah that's a great honor. But then for
Khadija, the Allahu anha Jibreel era Salam said to the Prophet
salallahu Salam that Allah is relaying his Salam so Hadith or
the Allah Juan, so that's even higher. Then you also hear you
also understand from the narration we mentioned above, from Abdullah
ABI Shaybah, that hadith or the Allahu anha has to be superior
than Fatima because there's Fatima is the leader of the women of
Paradise after the other three women, among among which is
Khadija there so Khadija is definitely stronger. But there's
another narration that kind of conflicts with this which is
related from ignore our circuit from ignore our bus or the Allahu
Anhu airscrew allah sallallahu sallam said, say yes to any say
hello Jana Maria minty Imran from a fatty mathema Khadija that the
leader of the women of Paradise is muddy and Binti Imran den Fatima
den hottie, Jaya and then asiyah Emirati around so that the theme
is a bit different that the order is different. Because Khadija the
Allah one has been placed after Fatima in that case Ibnu the who
was asked a uma of the Fatima Musa, is Fatima superior or her
mother Hadiya or the Allahu anha
so he says Fatima is that peace is a part of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam we can't equate anybody to Rasul Allah. Allah is
Finnish. She is the daughter of Rasulullah How can you equate
anybody to her? Sookie was US
He says that which we spoke he was a great scholar of Hadith and
fiqh. Shafi scholar and a great biographer as well. He says, the
position we take and that which we consider to be our deen is that
Fatima Binti, Muhammad is the superior one, then after that is
Hadiya her mother, and then it's a shot of the Allahu Anna. So they,
they take it based on the perspective that this is a
daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam it newly emerged
says that hadith of the Allahu anha is superior than faulty model
the Allahu anha in the sense that she is her mother. So she has to
be superior in that sense, but not in leadership of the women of
Paradise. In that sense Fatima of the Allahu Anhu is superior, but
as a mother she is superior. And
then the question arises that if that is Fatima and the daughter of
Rasulullah sallallahu, some part of Rasulullah then what about the
other daughters or McCool, foo men, Xena, then raka Yara the
Allah Juan Hoonah. They don't they're not mentioned here. Well,
the reason is that for a number of reasons, one is that they all died
within the life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Two of
them are married to Earthman or the Allah one. And they both
passed away during the lifetime of Sula SallAllahu sallam. And number
two 5g model the Allahu anha had an ajeeb very close resemblance to
Rasulullah sallallahu and both in character and in form.
So she looked like Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam you
know, while being a woman, she looked like Rasulullah sallallahu
in terms of features, and a HELOC, and her character was like
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And she died after a
salsa was and passed away, which means that she has more virtue,
because she had to also undergo the pain of the departure of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam whereas the other others
didn't. So if you have to have experienced the departure of
somebody of your life away, and you had supper over this that
gives you a great amount of reward and shoots you up in the sight of
Allah subhanaw taala so she had to experience that. Then there's
another Hadith which says Fatima to Jairo banality, in NA OC but we
she is the proxy law. Some said she is the most superior of my
daughters, and she has undertaken a lot of pain for me. She was that
young girl who went and threw off the dirt that the innards of an
animal that the Quraysh put over Rasulullah sallallahu I mean,
Sajida as this young girl and she, she talked back to them and said,
How can you do this? And so on. And she went through a lot of pain
for that reason.
Then the question, there's a difference of opinion as to who's
superior whether it's muddy and Binti Emraan or Fatima or the
Allahu Ana, which of the two are superior, man, thank you. Dina
Sookie says again in his fatawa that, and likewise a month, July
of this year, so UT and many others, that they just take it
that 14 Out of the alone is the most superior, because she is the
daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu and he was and then hotties are
the Allahu and then a shadow the Allah when there was an earlier
shift as a career famous, he says that the conclusion of all of this
is that there's going to be differences of opinion because the
Hadith, there are different Hadees that seem to conflict with each
other. And there is no single Hadith that is maybe so
categorical, that you just disregard all the rest. And it's
possible that the all of this is based on active era, which means
it's all relative, that in some aspects, she's superior in some
aspect she's superior, but according to those scholars 41 of
the Alon is the most superior in all because she was the daughter
of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So, if we look at it
from relativity, then Fatima the Allahu Allah is the most superior
because she's the daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu Khadija the
Allahu Allah is the most superior because she was the greatest sense
of support assistance and solace and comfort for rasool Allah Salah
and there was nobody else able to give her give him the same in the
most critical time she was the right person there at the right
time. Right. So you can't beat her in that. And the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said Ma Raza canillo Hiram minha, the Allah did
not sustain me with anything better than her. So he really felt
that Allah had given him the best woman that he could have had at
that time. Those who are not married, believe me, the words of
Rasulullah sallallahu some bring true, right? A woman stabilizes a
man right and a man stabilizes a woman. If the relationship is
good, if the intentions are good, they both working with the Taqwa
of Allah subhanho wa Taala to attain that, then the stability
that it creates in this family unit it's totally natural and it's
very unnatural to be alone. And that's where Rasulullah Salah some
showed that and he mentioned it I mean he this is his praise he says
Allah could not have given me something greater ma Razak risk
means something that you are nurtured on right isn't this
talking about food? No.
Money risk, but he's using that in the sense that she was as
important and as that for me, there was nothing greater than
minute to be Hina colorblindness. She brought faith on me that when
people be like me, Wow, Tony Mala Hina ha Rahman Enos, she gave me
her wealth when people
when people deprive me when people did not give me, right, this
doesn't mean you go home and get your, you know, wives wealth, you
know, right. Well, I should have Dolman genitalia and when you look
at Aisha Radi Allahu anha you cannot beat her. You cannot
surpass her, No woman can surpass her, in fact, in terms of
knowledge, for cod, Hatfield, che and cathedra. And she had
memorized a huge amount of that hadith had tequila and rubella on
cool minha and she was just not like Abu Huraira didn't have that
memorized a lot. But she had great insight foresight, understanding
comprehension of the deen she was a fucky her she was removed here
in a sense, right? One of our first Mufti as a you know, of a
woman can remove the by the way, just in case you don't know. I
mean, we don't have any, unfortunately, but women can be
removed and there has been in the past, I get this question can a
woman be like why not? If you studies properly? The problem is
women don't study enough. Right? They become polyamorous, you know,
even if it was they study the audio, and then after that, you
don't really see them really trying to go and there's a few
that try. Right? But otherwise, you just don't see that. But a
woman can give it to us. Right? If she's got the capability you had
you had some great people of the past that did that. Unfortunately,
the men aren't studying enough. And neither other women and not
all in history, there's always going to be less women that will
study because they just get more occupied and busy. Right? Once you
get a family, you have a child or two, that's it, you become busy
whether you like it or not. And it's only going to be the one with
the greatest him management of time. Right? That's going to be
able to surpass those things. It's difficult. It's not easy, believe
me, right? So don't criticize women who can't do much because
it's not easy for them to do much. Right and tell you that this is
this is
an observation. I mean, but a woman can be a Mufti if she
studies thick, right?
Then it's so she, she had memorize a huge amount. He says that one
quarter of the legal rulings that we have fifth, our fifth is
related is based on the Hadith that she that she has related
Subhanallah as you can understand from that, and that's why the
prophets Allah Allah, some said, Who do the inoculum on her the
Hill who may take your Diem from this red one. And she had a
reddish complexion. So he used to have a pet name for her, which was
her Mayra the little red one. So he says take your deen from her.
That's how much trust he had in a Subhan Allah or the Allah Juana. I
thought it'd be a robber says the Irish over the Allahu anha can
cannot Afghan nurse she was the most
had the greatest juristic insight in terms of Messiah, and legal
legal laws. She she didn't she knew it very well. What a nurse
what accent a nurse, she was the most knowledgeable. And she was
also the best of people, right? Even in terms of opinion. Like,
she wasn't emotionally in her opinion. She was very balanced.
She knew what to say. Right? Everybody makes mistakes. Clearly,
you know, everybody makes mistakes. She she she used to, you
know, regret the fact of what happened with earlier the hola
Juan and when she went out during the Battle of the Camel, but
generally in her fatawa and everything, you know, that's what
it is. In fact, what the aroma say is that when is a person capable
of giving photo because nobody can give 100% correct answers all the
time. Because nobody knows the insight as to what is the truth
according to Allah? He says, what they mentioned is that if, if
you're, if you are, if you deal with 100 questions, for example,
and your correct answers are more in number than your wrong answers,
then okay, you're justified to give a fatwa. But if you give more
wrong answers than right answer you shouldn't be giving to us,
because everybody can make a mistake. But that's what they
normally mentioned, some aroma say there's no point in looking at
Hey, Thea, about relativity, because when you look at that,
then everything we're talking about who's the most supreme above
all? So yes, we agree what you say. But really, we're talking
about who is the most superior above all, above all women, for
example. And that's why some people say I shall do my superior
to Fatima or the Allahu anha.
for another reason, because she's going to be with Rasulullah
sallallahu. I'm in Paradise because husband and wives are
together in paradise, not fathers and daughters. Right? Yes, Fatima
is also going to be in Paradise with her husband. But then the
paradise that I showed her, the Allahu anha is going to be with
because of the fact that she is the wife of Rasulullah, Salah is
going to be the highest of Paradise, and who can get that
there's going to be nobody equal to Rasulullah sallallahu is going
to be people close to him, but nobody equal to Him. And if you're
the one who gets to be with Rasul Allah and His paradise then you
are in that sense you're going to
be superior. So in that sense, if you look at it actually the Allahu
anha is superior. That's what Abner Sookie relates from the
scholars of his time, that the virtue of Hassan and Hussein or
the Allah one over the whole of the formula for is can be in one
sense that they are the sons, the grandsons of Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, so they can be considered superior in only that one sense.
But if you look at it in general, than the formula for a superior to
Hassan, and Hussein or the Allahu anhu, because they've had a longer
time with Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam because Hassan haciendo,
the Alana were younger, right, and they only had 710 years or so we
also realize that on the other qualified a huge amount of time,
they brought faith, they weren't brought in, you know, they weren't
born into the faith. They they accepted Islam, they struggled and
all the rest of it, their reward is going to be greater. And what
they gave for Islam is going to be greater during the initial period.
They can't be anybody that is equated to the first for the fall.
So if you look at it relatively, it's an issue. Now the the issue
is that there are many different durations. The issue is not one of
categorical cuts, ie definitive point of view. It's a honey issue
in the sense that it's a speculative issue as to who's the
most superior. And that's why there is nothing wrong with
saying, Look, from this hadith we see this from this hadith we see
this but we can't really say and nobody's going to ask us on the
Day of Judgment that why did you not figure out who was the most
superior because it's not part of our fundamental archy that that we
need to have. It's just a very interesting point increases our
love for all of these people for all of these 14 Out of the
Rhodesian, I shall regardless of who's superior we love all of
them, right. Khadija, and I share the allow mothers and Fatima are
the Allahu Anhu she is who she is Han Allah. So in that sense,
that's what it is.
Now, just to dedicate, because it seems like I show the other one
comes third, right? Fatima and these are the one they came vying
for that first position according to many scholars, Aisha, we're
gonna kind of come to that afterwards. So let's talk about
Asia, the Allah Juana. Right? That the hierarchies the hierarchy, but
let's look at who actually the Allahu Anhu was very shortly. I
shot at the Allahu unhas virtue and her for Lila.
There's so much mentioned about it, right all the way from she is
the daughter of Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah one who is the greatest
of men after Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
the Nika Danica was, was solubilized in Makkah, when she
was six years old, was solemnized, in Makka, moo Corolla when she was
six years old, but she only became she only went to the full of
Arsenal's house, in Madina, Munawwara after moving there, so
the marriage took place just before the migration, or sometime
before the migration, and then she only went to rasool Allah son's
house, and they began to live like husband and wife in Madina,
Munawwara when she was nine. And essentially, I looked, I looked at
this issue of
conservation of marriage with young with a younger wife. And
essentially what it is, is that if they are capable of consuming
marriage, then it's permissible, but when they're not. So it's not
about Blue on adolescence, because some girls can become adolescent
much later. Right? And we know women are capable of having
children at 1112 years old. Right? So it's not about that it's about
capability at the end of the day, right? And the culture, if it
allows it, that's that's exactly what happened is nothing wrong
with it. But anyway, that's a different topic, which people have
dealt with, in great depth. We don't need to go into that we just
want to talk about actually the hola Juana. She, she, the
professor was on passed away when she was only 18 years old. But in
those years in Madina, Munawwara that was when things are beginning
to open up and she studied with a sort of law, she soaked it in, she
she was one of the greatest of his students as such, she then remain
for 50 years after him, so she was 80. That means you're 68 when she
passed away, so it relatively young for a woman to pass away in
that sense, because you know, women normally outlive men, right,
especially in some cultures, but she she lived for another 50 years
and she benefited the OMA from what she had acquired a Rasul
allah sallallahu Sallam in about 10 years ajeeb in 10 years, she
became a great scholar, right, but she had access to greatest of
teachers. And then she passed away when she was 68 years old. And Abu
Huraira, the Allah 100, on who led her the Janaza prayer, Abu
Huraira, the lead Janaza prayer, and
it's mentioned in the sahih Hadith, that when Fatima or the
Allahu anha came to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam if you remember,
there's a story that there were two groups among the wives. Right,
there were two groups and one group went too far to the Allahu
anha and they said to her look, well, they discussed among
themselves as they look, you know, people whenever they want to give
the gift to Rasulullah
Hola Juan here are some of the oldest come and give it on the day
that he's in it shot of the Allahu unhas turn with with her. Why can
they give it wherever the prophesy blossom is, they used to give it
in Aisha time because they knew that they would get a better
acceptance of their gift because it was I was very happy with a
shot of the Allah it's just a natural thing. It was very fair
among all of his wives, but he just had this extra love for us he
was extra happy. So they did the he didn't force them to do it. So
they came and they said look, we need to tell us the last lesson
that he should announce to the people that they shouldn't do this
and they should just give it whenever so then they said well
who's going to talk to him? So they one of the ways when and talk
to them to him first and the promise allows him said look,
learn to hoon if he Aisha Don't
Don't irritate me Don't give me pain regarding eyeshadow the ally
like Don't Don't do this. Then they sent 14 or the Allah one and
her because she has a daughter who can maybe she can get something I
mean mashallah women are very resourceful when they want to be
right, they can be very resourceful. So they sent and I
showed her the Allah Fatima poor one, you know, poor girl, she went
and she said and the profit loss and said look, we don't you love
who I love said yes. Carla's finished that that was it. That
was it. You know, she just went back. She couldn't. That was the
way to progress a lot of some dealt with it with with Fatima,
the Allah who are now listed to have been Emma. She said of course
for IB had eternal love. Aisha Hollis, that was it. That's a
felida version of the hola Juan Amantha que Edina. subkey says
that this is a hukum whenever someone gives an order to his
daughter that you must love her that means the whole Ummah must
love her. And anybody who doesn't love her they've got a major
problem and that's why he Malibu honey for he gets angry and I
couldn't understand his in his guitar will see you in one place.
He says that who ever slanders Aisha Radi Allahu anha then that
person is a busted that's what he says he says is a wallet Zina. I'm
not using it as a swear I'm using it in the real way. Meaning I
mean, we never use this word in the real meaning we don't use use
it as a swear. So let's use it properly. Right? It's a son, the
child of illegitimate offspring. So here to look at this a Why is
he What's he saying? Why is he getting so angry here? Because
clearly, that's a very angry statement. So then you understand
that what he's saying is that anybody who I share with the Allah
is the mother of believers. And that's more than documented. She's
a wife of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, anybody who then claims to
be a follower of Rasul Allah, a believer, she is the mother. If
they're saying that my mother is a slandering their mother for Zina,
you know, as the Muna 15 Did as Allah relates in the Quran, then
they are the child of Xena from a spiritual sense, you see, because
she's the mother, they slandering their own mother. So what does it
make them? It makes them illegitimate, illegitimate Muslim,
right? ajeeb that's foresight. I mean, I just couldn't understand
that first, then I figured out what he was trying to say. So, he
says that because the wrestlers have said this as a hokum that a
hip be heavy like so love her, it becomes on the unnecessary to love
her as well. Now, we talked about three already, but the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a hadith related by Salman
rated by top Iranian by Halki, from Salman with Ilan al baraka to
FIFA, there are three things in which there's a lot of baraka and
blessing. Number one, Phil GEMA, to be in a group and you do
something number two, Fareed, there's a lot of Baraka in there.
And number three is so whole to have some pre Dawn meal before you
fast now since 3d is so tasty so Baraka Mubarak and all the rest of
it, fatty matter, the Allah Hannah to be equated with that is to show
that she's great. She and she was she had great o'clock she had
great character. She was very eloquent in speech. Right? She was
very eloquent in speech, the Sahaba chose to go to speak to
Omar the Allah when they wanted something to be done by Amara, the
Allah one. She was had very, very penetrating insight. She had a
very, she was able to make some really good decisions. Her actual
her intelligence was was absolutely absolutely phenomenal.
And she was above all of that. You see, all of that kind of describes
a career woman, to a sense in a very achieving high achiever and
all that. But this is where the others fall down. What the hubbub
it'll burn, and being loving to her husband, with that gone, you
know, all his career is coming. They think they're superior. I
mean, I've had cases where
husbands allow the wife solo, but she studied at a better
university. This was an American, if you're a lawyer, that's a big
deal. And if you did it in a better university, then it's a big
deal. Right? So she used to always use that against him. And he
always felt inferior because he hadn't graduated from
a university or a university better than hers, right? So that's
the problem SubhanAllah. And that's why I would just suggest
for all women, right, that's why one woman said, I don't want to
get married to anybody who I feel is inferior to me, because it's a
whole life, you're going to feel like that. And in Islam, there's a
hierarchy, the man is the head of the household. And for that, you
need to be able to put yourself into that position, you've got to
get a husband that's superior to you, that you think is more
educated better in some way or the other to you, so that you'll be
able to live that unless you want to put him under your thumb. So
she was above all of that she was great with Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam as a wife that just something that promise that
awesome, loved her for and just loved her in every way whatsoever.
It was just something and he says what has Booker and Salalah as a
Muslim yet glue him in a Nyssa it's enough for you to realize
that what she had retained and understood from Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam acquired and understood and comprehended what
she did, that no other women did. And that is something greater than
any other achievement. And
in fact, it's related that you can't even get there were many men
who are not like her. Yes, there were a few men who learned greatly
from Masuda Salas and and but many of the others, she was greater
than them in terms of what she had learned from Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam and that's why I thought it'd be robber. He says
actually, the Allahu anha is has the greatest juristic insight.
She's the most knowledgeable among people, and she has the best
opinions or where ignorance is obeyed who was her nephew?
Her nephew, he says Mara, to add an LM a B 15. Wala B to Ben will
be shattered in Menasha. I have not seen anybody who had more
knowledge of fic right jurisprudence, medicine tip, right
and poetry than I shall at the Allahu Allah. May Allah subhanaw
taala give us a true understanding of all of the Sahaba and
especially our own Maha meaning, may Allah subhanaw taala give them
a great place in Jannah and reward them on our behalf until until the
day of June.
