So I was saying that these people for centuries, there was one idea,
all the stories that they've been hearing about from their
forefathers were all about the same thing. And now suddenly,
there's a massive challenge to this. And things are going totally
different. These gods that they revered, that was ingrained in
them because their grandfathers revered them, their great
grandfather's revered them. That was the stories they've been
hearing about for for centuries. It's very difficult. You know, you
say, you can't take the village out of the, you know, out of the
individual. Well, how can you take this, you know, that the feet of
the Sahaba the accomplishment that when they embraced Abu Bakr Siddiq
had to give up everything, just embrace that was significant.
We live in a very confusing world today. That's why it's very easy
for somebody to become Muslim. Compared to at that time. There
you had to give up so much to do that here. People are just
looking, they don't have anything. They're looking.
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim
in our series
on the CAHSEE the Buddha were on point 127.
Along with CD says homology, burl Fussel Arnaud Musa Dima home

at her middle walk me. Almost real by almost daily you will be the
home run by war or the military the coulomb of sweat the men and
limb me.
While carabiner be some real hot tomato rocket, UCLA Mohamed
Khalifa dysmenorrhoea, Ramona Jimmy
Shirky, Silla, Scylla Hila, home, Sima dama, yoozoom walwater do em
does will be SEMA and salami,
and so on, and he continues.
What he's saying in these is again, this is a description of
the Avila and he does that for a number of poems. He's
speaking about it from a number of different angles, he's providing
a focus look on the different aspects or in this one, he's
talking about mountains, homology bail. Now for Arabs to speak about
mountains is very significant. Because mountains have been
mentioned a number of times in the Quran.
One is to speak about the mountains themselves, but they've
also been spoken about in the Quran
to show the strength, the might and the greatness of something,
because if you look around maca Makarova
the mightiest thing that you saw was a mountain.
That was some of the biggest heftiest unmovable mountains.
So that's why, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would
speak about the blasting of the trumpet,
when we feed off his soul,
and the day of judgment coming in the form of the blast of a
trumpet, the people of Makkah used to say, we'll just hide behind the
mountain.
Because for them Mountain was so massive was such a great thing.
Because, you know, the houses were small at that time. So scale wise,
what's a mountain? You know, it's massive. Today, our buildings are
bigger than mountain sometimes. So we're really in terms of the
fitrah of how the Earth is supposed to be. We're really
disoriented as to what's big and what's small. And we've really
confused it's all relative for us, but for them, we'll just hide
behind the mountain so Allah subhanaw taala says waste Aluna
energy burn.
They ask you about the mountains for Korean Cebu Hora bien Asfa.
Then just say that my Lord will blow them to dust.
Tomorrow Tomorrow, Mara sahab you will see them just blowing around
like the clouds about a month hoorah. They will it will become
nothing. Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the mountains. He
really attacks the mountains because that was the mightiest
thing in their mind at that time. So here he is, quoting the Sahaba
mountains homology, burl, they are the mountains for Sal and who Musa
Dima home as those who collided with them, ask their opponents
what they saw in them on every field of honor mother or mean
Humphrey Colima, study me. Now in terms of that,
Musa Dima, who Musa them means the person who saw them a means to
attack something, to bang against something. That's what sada means.
Sod Mattoon
It means an attack, it means
something that will effect you in a way. And physically it's normal
a physical attack on something
a shock of some sort. Now Saddam Hussein
was mashallah, someone who did that a lot because his name was
from Saddam from the same root term. So that's what he was doing.
He was he was willing to Shakun on
attack things, because Saddam is mobile lover. It's an exaggerated
form of that term.
Anyway, that's a different issue. But he's saying fossil animals are
the among those people who they used to fight with that they used
to attack that were their foes, their opponents, ask them, why
would you ever ask an enemy enemy is never going to tell the truth M
and N an enemy will always make it insignificant, make something
valued insignificant about you will always use that moment to
criticize to put down to humiliate, but here that there's a
challenge, as they ask their opponents
ask their opponents as well.
Now the opponents
only if it was something undeniable that was clear in his
perception, because for me to be considered to be an honest
individual.
And I'm given the option to criticize my opponents, I have to
be very careful how I do that.
Because if I criticize them with something that is not true about
them, then I will be put down because there's people who will
judge what I say. So I'm given an option. And I have to try to be
very clever in terms of how I tell the truth, or I don't tell a lie.
And I still put them down. Do you understand? That's why if you look
at Abu Sufian, this was the challenge that he had when he went
to elior, which is Jerusalem during time Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, and he was asked by her Oculus, the leader of the Romans
at the time, I've received this letter, her Oculus had received
the letter from Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi, wasallam. So
then he'd asked his people to look if he saw if they saw anybody from
Makkah. And Abu Sufyan was around the time in a trade caravan. So
they brought him to the king to the ruler to the leader. And he
asked him, Okay, what do you think of these people? So he was a few
answers, I had to be very careful, I had to be very careful. And he
says, there was only one place where I could slip in something
that was even slightly negative. So you had to tell the truth.
However, the only the only place where you have to tell the truth
is where you're going to get caught out otherwise. So it has to
be something that's evident and clear. That would,
that would make you look like a fool if you told the lie about it.
So that's why what he's trying to say by all of this is that their
valor, their bravery, their strength, and everything was so
obvious that even their enemies would have to tell the truth,
because otherwise it would take down the integrity of the enemies
as well. And if there's poems in Arabic, it says, Well, how could
my Shaheed that be hilarious
that the truth is that which is given is, is borne witness to by
the enemy. If the enemy says something praiseworthy about you,
then that is the truth, because friends will always praise you.
But if your enemies can also praise you that look in in this
sense, I have to say that he he or she is like this, or he is like
this.
There's been politicians who've used different ways of trying to
get higher appeal for themselves. One of the recent leaders of
France used to have a very interesting way of
praising his opponents and still getting a higher ranking.
That was his tact, you would praise his opponents,
the competition, and he would still come out better than his
opponents in that it's just the way he did these things.
So this is the human ability that Allah gives to people to use in
different ways. Now, the way mountains are very firm and they
don't move. They're not known to be shaky. That's another
comparison that he's saying homology bail, they stand firm,
they don't move in the in the face of any enemy doesn't make. It
doesn't make a difference in assisting the deen of Allah
subhanho wa Taala in doing the task at hand, this is what they do
in the places of war. That's what they do. They have this immense
amount of Rusu and Sabbats. They will not run away. They've never
been known to run away.
And they've never been known
Want to shake?
There's one example in the Quran where Allah subhanaw taala says,
we're in Cana mcru, whom Lita Zula menholt G Bal.
We're in Karna mk rowhome
liters zoulah menholt G Bal, their MCRA their deception that deceit,
they're planning their plotting
was so bad. It was so heavy, so deceptive, so intense that it
could have mountains could have been swept away by it.
Mountains will never be swept away by it. But it's just to show that
this is how bad it was that if it was a force, it will take away the
mountains as well. This is talking about the mecca of the
disbelievers. We're in Ghana, mcru home Lita Zula, mineralogy Bal. So
again, the play is on the GBL. Again, the play is on the Jabaal
on the mountain, the mountain was such an important aspect for them.
So it was used in all different senses, that oh, they're
deception, they're plotting their marker is so their deceit is so
strong, that it would even take away, it would even take away
mountains. So here he's obviously using it positively Humala zhiban,
that they are the mountains.
Then he carries on, and he says Wa, sallahu, Naina and
weiselberger on Vessel are hidden. So just in case somebody says this
is just an empty argument, an empty claim, what is the proof of
this? So he says the proof of it, is ask her name, ask budder. Ask
or hood. Now you can't ask these places they don't speak. But
again, this is poetry. This is to create in the mind that okay, go
and look at the history of Romaine and the mother and the earth. And
these were some of the greatest battles that were fought with a
surah allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And then he says, for solo
hat, when
to really rub it in to really make it more impactful. He says, for
solo hat, Finn. Now hat means death. hat means a place of death,
for soul is the plural of fossils, which means season, these were
seasons of death. These were seasons of death for them. So this
is not just talking about a day or one night, this is talking about
an entire season. He's calling it for Sue Hatfield, Laham, adhaar,
mineral, Wahhabi, and other means more deadly than a plague. These
were seasons of death that were coming upon them that were more
deadly than the plague. Now, one way to maybe understand this is
when you've been for centuries, on a certain belief system, yes,
you've got the ups and downs, you have instability, because that
whole area had a lot of instability at a micro level in
the sense that tribes fighting with each other, but that was
their way of life, they were quite used to that. Of course, he
brought difficulties, and suddenly was people being killed. And he
used to go around with the swords, and so on. So all of that was
there. But that was something that we're used to. But then what
happens is now somebody is challenging what their forefathers
have been believing for many, many centuries. That makes it very
difficult, especially in a time when everybody seems to believe
the same thing. Because if you look at it, there was a tribal
system was so intense, and so close knit that when the leader of
OHS or hazards would become Muslim, the entire tribe would
become Muslim. They wouldn't necessarily think for themselves,
they think, and that's why a nurse Allah Dini, Maliki him, people are
on the dean of the leaders.
Now, although today that seems to be maybe a bit difficult to
comprehend, there is no doubt there is still an effect of the
leadership
on even us
we think differently Yes, we protest about certain things we
disagree with no doubt about that. There's a lot of people that
protest, but the way we generally act and the way we will carry
ourselves when we go to another country for example, it will be
clear that this guy is a Westerner or the way the British Raj
subjects who say this this person is a British
or a commoner. Sir, sir, you know, they when you know somebody thinks
sir, okay, sir, then you know that they're not from England, because
nobody says, Sir, here, you know, they say that in the places that
the British ruled, which is like an Indian Pakistan, that's where
they're gonna say that. So the these kinds of things they come
about once I was in the hot tub, and I met a friend of mine from
America, two friends from America. And one of them said, you know,
Makkah and Madina, Munawwara these holy centuries, they should not be
run by the Saudis. They should not be ruled by the Saudis. They
should be international international ruled by the
Muslims.
Truth of the world and they should all have a say in this that
another whoever wants to move in, like, you're speaking like an
American, you know, you're speaking like an American. I mean,
come on, you know,
we've already got you know, Al Hamdulillah there's some stability
that you want the Muslim world to look after Mocha, mocha Rama, and
what's gonna happen, man today is going to be, you know, today it's
going to be celery tomorrow is going to be Sufi, the next day is
going to be something else today, this is going to be prohibited.
That's going to be permissible.
At least there's, you know, with all that's going Alhamdulillah at
least there's some kind of peace down there. But this is and he was
like honest, like he was sitting there. I remember this was in the
Haram I believe in the MATA when he said this to me, you know, he
said is like, so earnestly that this should be run by Muslims in
general. So we naturally effected now but before this was the people
who just blindly take on what they're, and that that was the
whole thing. That's why Allah subhanaw taala in the Quran speaks
much about this, that make sure you stand up for the truth, even
if it's against your own close one. Because in those days, it was
just like, my brother got into a, you know, war with something over
a girl something like that, you're gonna support your brother.
There's no question about it.
That's why the prophets Allah Some had to say on sort of a heart or
their own sort of haka volumen, OMA human, assist your brother,
whether he's avoiding more of room Subhanallah, which did seem
to play on the other side. But the probably still awesome clarified
that, you know, this means that you have to help your brother when
he's a violin, which means you must stop him that's helping you,
not in the traditional way that you just had to support your
tribe, or the tribe, your tribe was affiliated to.
And this was not just with the Arabs, this was with the Jewish
tribes of Madina Munawwara as well, you know, you had the blue
Kure, the blue Nadia and binuclear, new car. Now, they
were,
they used to fight against each other,
as allies of the ocean hazards. So when the ocean hazards are
fighting Israel, some of them are allied to the ocean, others were
allied to the Hoodrich, the Arab tribes, they would fight with each
other, they would take each other prisoner, and then as a Jewish
person, they would then pay to free them as well afterwards.
So part of their fight along with the Arabs, they would have to take
prisoner, but then as from part of Jewish law, whatever it was, they
would actually pay to release them. And this was how they used
to deal with it in those times really different. But it was quite
normal for them to do that. For us. It just seems really strange.
How can you do that doesn't seem sensible. But then racism has been
justified in the past, and people just thought it was quite fine to
do that. It's just what is generally the propaganda is what
is really powerful. That's why trends change. That's why these
things change all the time.
Right now, they trying to say that heterosexual couples should be
allowed to do civil partnerships. If homosexuals can do that, then
why can't heterosexuals do that?
There's nobody fighting. And there is nobody campaigning for the
validity, or the permissibility of the legality of polygamy, even
though the argument for that is much stronger than that for
homosexuality, it's allowing homosexuality, why can't one man
and two women who are consenting marry each other. But the problem
is that because it's not cool yet to do that, nobody's gonna fight
for it.
And the Muslims, who are probably the only ones who are kind of
informally officially practicing it.
I mean, they actually probably formally practicing from an from a
shittier perspective.
Otherwise, everybody practices it from an unofficial perspective,
where it's without any obligation, two nights, three nights, 10
Nights, two months, you know, however you feel unlicensed, you
know?
It's
because the Muslims, they can't argue, because right now, Muslims
seem to be on the defensive. But because it's not cool, yet. The
media has not picked it up. There's no big campaigners for it.
Otherwise, it probably passerine Norte.
If homosexuality could be passed through,
right, then why not polygamy?
But it's just what's cool. It's what's the trend, it's what
matters, you know, to people at that particular time. That's what
effects things. This is the way the world works. And there's
certain people that just know how to manipulate those ideas because
they have the media in their hands and that's why the media is a very
powerful tool to create perceptions and ideas.
So all of that, sell, hone in and sell better on yourself or them.
So I was saying that these people for centuries, there was one idea,
all the stories that they've been hearing about from their
forefathers were all about the same thing. And now suddenly,
there's a massive challenge to this. And things are going totally
different. These gods that they revered, that was ingrained in
them because their grandfathers revered them, their great
grandfather's revered them. That was the stories they've been
hearing about for for centuries. It's very difficult. You know, you
say, you can't take the village out of the, you know, out of the
individual. Well, how can you take this, you know, that the feet of
the Sahaba the accomplishment that when they embraced Abu Bakr Siddiq
had to give up everything, just embrace that was significant.
We live in a very confusing world today. That's why it's very easy
for somebody to become Muslim. Compared to at that time, there,
you had to give up so much to do that here. People are just
looking, they don't have anything they're looking.
Especially in this last century,
you know, when Christianity just kind of disappeared, and it's all
really just agnostics, subhanAllah churches, hardly any attendance,
probably more foreigners in churches, you know, from Africa,
etc. Africa and Central America and these kinds of places. Then
then, you know, normal people,
Brit, sorry, English people, it's
so for Sue Hatfield, Muhammad, Muhammad Ali Muhammad. That's why
these Haldane budder are, etc. These were really deadly seasons
for them that were more deadly than, than the plague, as you
mentioned. Now better and generally, people know the story.
They're very famous. I'll just quickly mention the story of her
name.
This occurred after the conquest of Makkah, and is a very
significant factors to this one.
This also took place in Ramadan 10 Nights left for Ramadan
in the eighth year of hijra, pretty much immediately after the
conquest of Makkah,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he had conquered, gone into
my karma, karma and had overcome it.
In this 10,000 Sahaba at the time, 10 1000s Sahaba.
And after that, the people who are just waiting for MCE
to see what would happen to Makkah, many of the tribes around
the area. Islam had kind of crept into their heart, but because
Makkah was still pagan, they felt they had a lot of respect for
maca. They want to see if maca falls. If maca goes into their
hands, then that is right. Because maca Allah will never allow maca
to fall in the wrong hands. Because for them what happened
with Abraha the enemy the army of the elephants, that was very
significant for Allah to have killed the elephants and the
entire army of Abraham with the special birds that have been so
for them held a very high position. So now when the prophets
Allah son walked in without much bloodshed shed whatsoever, and
then everybody came and then he says, okay, all of you are
forgiven. So there were 2000 of these people. So there were 12,000
people now in total
12,000 People now in total.
So when this happened,
there's still some of the Arab tribes who still had animosity in
their hearts. And they did not want the Muslims they did not want
the deen of Islam to be superior. So, this became very difficult and
a big burden on them to see this happening in Makkah Makara Rama
because now the main city has fallen. So he was in he was in was
down south
was down south. They and surrounding they managed to get
people together.
multiquip No ALF al Midori was the was the leader. So he rallied
people to do this. The lucky if the blue thief the turkeys tribe.
The lucky if tribe was led by Abuja allele abnormal Abuja real
economic suck if they got together with the housing, housing the
leader was Merrick Ignatieff al Midori keeps leader was
Abdullah Ali ignore hammer. And then there was a number of other
small small groups of people until they became how many 30,000 So you
had 12,000 against 30,000. So the prophets Allah Allah right now
they there was an impending danger from them. They were towards the
south of Morocco, Morocco Roma. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam
went towards them so rather than wait for them to come and attack
He went with with the army, to her name. That's where they came
together.
There's a part there we which is a valley between two mountains.
And the thing what happened on that day is because they never had
the Muslims never had a force so great
because you just suddenly got these 2000 additional people join
you who just become Muslim then a few days ago, or a few hours ago,
whatever it was.
And as Allah says, In the Quran, Jabba tomb cathro Tune in whether
they were a small amount overcame a large enemy or heard the same
thing. Now in this one, they thought 12,000, we've never had
more in number, we're going to walk over these people. Right?
Because they're thinking in terms of one against 10, or one against
20, you know, no problem. So they focus, some people's focus has
shifted to themselves, not to Allah subhanaw taala. And that is
very crucial. This is a big lesson for us. So the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
And I mean, as they're going through this valley, suddenly
they're attacked from both sides by the Howard Zinn who are expert
marksman, they were really good at bow and arrow, firing arrows. So
this caused the massive disarray and chaos within the Muslim army.
Remember, 2000 people had just become Muslim. They were in these
places. And suddenly they started to retreat. Oh, we just coming to
Islam. Look what's happening. They started to retreat. So there was a
massive chaos, and people began to disperse. Left, right and center.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam was on a white was on a mule
was on a mule at that time. And abou Abdul Rahman Al figuri. abou
Abdul Rahman are very mentioned that I was with the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And he was
he mentioned that the prophets Allah was on was on a horse for
some reason. And he says, Abbas, his uncle was next to him. And so
was Abu Sufian. Not Abu Sufian Abner herb Babu, Sofia and YBNL
heard if this was a cousin brother
had it was a son of Abdul Muttalib.
And so Abu Sufian YBNL Harris had his uncle of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam
who probably passed away before the process and became a prophet
because there was only four uncle's left when the Prophet
settlers and became a prophet. Abbas, Hamza, Radi Allahu Anhu
they were to Muslims and Abu Talib and Abu Lahab. All the others had
passed away by the time he came, became a prophet. But when he
became 40 years of age, so this was his cousin brother.
And in front of him was Amon, ignominy Amon,
the son of a son of Omar Iman, the one who she's called Omar Amon for
and
when the Protestantism saw this ajeeb situation, Muslims in
disarray things dispersed here, left, right and center where he he
took a handful of soil from the ground and he threw it in the
direction of the enemy. And he said Shah hatin would you
be the faces be faced by this. So, abou Abdul Rahman, he mentions,
a very he mentions that
when he did that, suddenly there was Sakina
some tranquility which descended, and is this discussion of
tranquillity mentioned sort of fat as well, that came down even in
the, during the Battle of art afterwards, where you're in this
situation where generally people would be in disarray, when things
have just gone very wrong, and you have no direction, you've lost
your strategy. But then suddenly, Allah subhanho wa Taala causes.
See at the end of the day, a lot of this has to do with how
moralized you are, how the morale is in these things. And if Allah
subhanaw taala can give you the morale, then less people can
overcome, because it's all about him. It's all about pushing,
because there's very few wars where everybody is killed until
the last man, a lot of the time when, when, when you just see
people coming at you. That's why war is all about deception. It's
all about showing yourself out to be more mightier getting the meat
of this. That's why when, when in one of the battles in battle of
earth, when one of the Sahaba walking around haughtily they've
always had some this is the right thing to do at this time, though,
other times it'd be wrong to do this, because it's just the time
to show your power, because that strikes into the enemy. It's all
about propaganda nowadays, YouTube and Facebook. That's that's what
it's about as well. You know, there's a propaganda war. So these
wars are fought, fought in various different levels.
So we're up there
Romani mentioned the prophets of Allah and he took this and then
there was a Sakina that came over the people so they kind of became
a bit more calm than the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam he
called for the answer. He called for the answer. And he told our
bursa the Allahu Anhu to call Aina us herbal Shedra where are those
people who took the bait under the tree?
The US harbor Surah Al Baqarah Ibis are the hola Juan who had a
very loud voice. So in January, he had a very, very loud voice. So he
made an announcement without a megaphone, and it people heard it.
So people came once they heard this sound, and then you are
busted. They came back and Al Hamdulillah then they managed to
overcome the machine, which were more than double the number at the
time, they were more than double the number, yada, yada, yada. No,
I thought. He says that the children of the people of the
horrors in that fought against the Muslims on that day, their
descendants. He says, I've heard this from them, they would say
lamea come in. Don't Illa Allah fie ie 30 Cut to rob that soil at
the prophets of Allah and picked up and threw in their direction.
Every one of them said that they felt some of that going into their
eyes. So in on that side, it created that disorientation,
whereas on this time, this side
there was Sakina and a lot of tranquillity.
Now in this case, you don't hear about angels coming down to fight,
but in the Battle of whether you hear about the angels coming in,
or do you hear about the angels so you hear about the angels in
certain battles, but not about in others, like in brother or the
person said, Look, this is debris, let's come with this horse is
ready.
So
better the battle a burden, or had they are generally spoken about so
I'm not gonna, I'm not going to speak about them today. But then
after that he carries on. And again, these are just all really
high praises for the Sahaba he says, almost daily, you will be
the homerun Burma warrior that middle either Kula MOSFET demeanor
Lemmy, and this isn't white swords, white swords read after
the encounter with the black heads of the four men.
Black heads mean, the hair is still black. So these are not old
people that are fighting, who have no energy left. No, these are the
youngest of their crowds. They're coming in with their black hair,
long black hair, the lemma, you know, the long black hair, and
they're still being taken care of. So to really appreciate this in
Arabic, for those who understand Arabic, the way the play on words
is, he says almost daily, he'll be the Hummer and Bandama water that
is using to juxtaposing terms Warroad. And so do what it means
for animals to be brought down to their water source. Once they've
drank, then they so do they go back. So you have Hooroo and you
have sudo. And
that's why you have a weird, weird, it is a collection of the
RS collection of ADKAR that you do, because it's like you're going
to the source of the water, the spiritual water. That's why Allah
with
a rod, the rod is plural of weird, I'll wear they'll have them. Then
you have lb youth bead means sparkling white referring to their
swords. Then he talks about homerun redness.
That almost daily means they would be returning their white swords
after they've become red. After they have
passed over the radar either means the enemies could sweat the
mentally mummy. And even though these enemies were full black
head, young men limb is approval of Luma Lima and Lima is long
hair, the one that goes beyond the ear lobes. So that's what he
that's what he's saying. So you've got white bead, you got mustard,
black, you've got Homer, which is red. So you've got all of these
colors that are mentioned here as well. So it's just in Arabic. Of
course it sounds very interesting. Then he says, well, Cardi B and
Abby Sumrall, hottie methodic at UCLA, Mohamed Khalifa just mean,
later on when he mean, he makes it sound effortless. He makes it
sound like their spears were like pens in their hands that they were
just writing. Now when you write you write what you want. You write
as you want, Nobody forces you to write. Writing is a very personal
kind of action, where you write the thoughts of your mind. You
write what you think you dictate in your writing. So he's saying,
by using that kind of resemblance to writing, he's showing how the
war was so effortless for them. Allah had made it so easy for
them. And of course, there's a lot of exaggeration here. There's no
doubt it's a poem. It's a praise. There's a lot of exaggeration
here, so Well, Cardi B Cardi B and as you
You can understand it comes from kitab. Cardi B means those who
write be some real hottie. Some and hot. Now, number one hot means
lines. It means and those lines make up letters.
The letters are made up of lines.
So somebody will hottie my target UCLA move from Hartford Jasmine.
So, he says, summer
is Rima which means spears.
And hot is a place in Yamama from where they used to supply good
spears from a place called hot, which is in Yamama. And they used
to be brought down there from India. Because the Indian swords
and spears were apparently the best. So it seems like it used to
come to hot which was in Yamama in the Arabian Peninsula, and then it
would come from there. So now he's using the place name hot but he's
appropriately using it as
writing because hot also means lines to write. Hot also means
like a letter in a sense. So it's this play on the word hot that
it's spears from that place called hot, but also that they write and
maybe that's why it was called hot to start with anyway. So some real
hottie spears from the place called Hot a hot
hot the spears. In other words, Murdock at UCLA, Mahara
dysmenorrhoea them on IG me, like scribes whose pens from hot
tracing with brown ink, I'm not sure.
I think he's the translation here is assuming that the summer is the
brownness See, he's taken it differently.
left no body devoid of point. And vowels. That's how he translates
it here, I will translate it somewhat differently.
Because
my target Accola, whom their pens did not leave Hartford Giesemann
have means the side or corner or edge of something harder for
adjustments. So here it means the edge of any part of the body
layer, I'm gonna Jim layer a man coat, which means did not leave it
without it being dotted. Now you dot the I's and you cross the T's.
So basically, letters have dots, although in the time of the
Prophet sallallahu eleison, they did not use dots.
But here he's using the word elite, I'm gonna IGP which means
without dots so that he's using that term, what he's basically
saying here is something very simple. He is saying that
they used to bring
the shiny white swords.
And they used to take them back red with the blood of the heads of
the disbelievers. And then he says here, that it is as though they're
not this is already spoken about their swords. Their spears, used
to be like pins by which they were writing on the bodies of the
enemy, as they wished, as they desired. So what does it mean by
writing the effect of the strike? So they were leaving, that was the
wounds that they were creating.
Now, I do want to ask us a question here, which is a very
important question. We've been hearing about the stories of the
Sahaba and the valor, and then killing the disbelievers. We've
been reading those stories since young age. parents used to read
Philomel Haikai, the Sahaba all of these stories to ask the Taleem in
the masjid, that's what it's called. Now, did that ever make
you think that you need to go out on the street and start killing
people?
All of these stories that we've been reading from a young age, the
Sahabas valla, them killing their enemies, the Battle of butter, or
all of these great battles, where 70 of the leaders of the Quraysh
are being killed. And this gruesome description sometimes,
has it ever got any of our children even to get up and start
beating somebody up outside? Like, can you think of a single instance
that that ever happened? Did that ever? Was that ever a thought in
your mind that this is what I must be? I must be a Sahabi. I've heard
these stories. I must go out and do the same thing. No, because
the picture we're given of the Sahaba along with the stories are
many, many other points of their character of justice of this
happening under a political system. So it's never led anybody
to do that. That's why it's so
In the last 510 years that we see the violence that's going on
around the world in the name of Islam, Muslims killing other
Muslims as well. We cannot say that it's from these stories at
all this qasida has been been read for centuries. Never did anybody
read these words and think, Hey, let me go and do that. This is
what movies do to you. Because that's what artificial, it's all
exaggerated. That's what these games do to you these computer
games, you know, these, these violent ones, they just get you so
much into it. There's another another reason that that is all
happening. Because really, if you think back to all of these
stories, I mean, we've been reading listen to the stories for
years, or the Allahu Khalid bin Walid never did somebody say I'm
heart has been willing go and kill 10 people in the school like they
do in America.
Last year, it happened in Santa Barbara, that was a place where I
used to live in America for eight years. Some guy who just thought
that women don't like him. And he's a rich guy, he's got BMWs,
etc. But he thinks girls don't like him. And a weird thing was
that they were they were all swooning over him after that. It
was really weird. So he went out and killed a number of you know,
he went and killed a number of people.
That's just desperation. So we're talking about really balanced
individuals here. All of this is happening as a war that they had
to fight for survival as a new fledgling religion that they had,
but it was all Subhanallah he's never let our kids or us to do
weird things because of that. So it's very important because, you
know, we've been reading this for a few weeks now. And some newcomer
who may be listening, you know, looking for some fitness and
problem, they're going to thinking man, this is all violent. What is
he trying to do? Or what's the what's going on? Subhanallah these
things have been read, read for centuries. It's never led people
to go and do injustice because of it, or violence because of it. May
Allah subhanaw taala give us the Tofik to understand these things
fully and properly and may Allah subhanaw taala make us all insane
with insomnia, humans with humanity and may Allah subhanaw
taala give us the true life of the Sahaba Subhan Allah because Allah

become a bit is set here and I'll see for when I was 13 or Hamlet,
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials
certificate, which you take 20 Short modules, and at the end of
that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to be, you
know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more
sustained study as well as local law here and Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
