mean, Wali, you know, you're on tasar. In Montes, Erin Aaron, B.
He Well, I mean, I do when les Rahman qassimi,
this is all about the valor of the sahaba. And the victory they were
getting because of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Now
you have to understand that in that now, the way to enjoy this is
if you knew Arabic, and you'd be able to enjoy it because it's a
poem. poems are supposed to be enjoyed it. They're supposed to
invoke invoke thoughts, reflections, ideas, history,
that's what they're supposed to do. So although he may be saying
things over and over again, different aspects, speaking about
the same point, but in different ways, it's supposed to be enjoyed
like that. So we're going to do quite a few today. In which he
compares, he actually compares the Sahaba in different ways to
different things. It's kind of very interesting, the way he does
it. So first one, he says,
Sharky, Scylla Hila home Sima Tama yoozoom. Well, what do yum does
will be Seema and his salami. Now from an Arabic perspective. You've
got the word Seema used in twice.
You've got the word Tommy's the may use and yum does brought in
the two lines. And what he's saying here is Shaq is sila
healer, whom
Sharky a Silla healer whom Shaq you it comes from,
to show a lot of strength and vigor in the battle.
Shark is Silla hula hoop, LA home Seema dama user home to my user
home. The way he's translated here is in shining armor. There's was a
sign which set them apart.
I would say Sharky, Scylla because Shirkey comes from Shoka show come
in should the tool Betsy will hit the means
should the tool buzz. He means a very, very hard fight that they
put up a heart attack, a severe attack.
Or it could also mean the sharpness and the force of the
weapon. So Shirkey Scylla he
that in the attack with their weapons, they are extremely strong
and vigorous law home Sima Tama yoozoom. And in it is
their distinction. That is the sign that SEMA means signs, SEMA
homefree. Would you hear him in a 30 sujood as Allah subhanaw taala
mentions in the Quran, so he's saying that this is the sign that
sets them apart, because they've got so much strength in the attack
of their weapons. Well, what to do, yum does will be SEMA and his
salami.
And then to show how distinctive they are in their method of attack
and in their force of attack. He takes you to a which is so
amazing. He takes you to a rose garden. He takes you to roses. Now
what's roses got to do with severity of attack.
So he's trying to show
two things. One is his this is what he says he says
As
well what to do em does will be Seema and his salami. The way he
translates it here is just as a rosebush may be distinguished from
an Acacia.
Or more simply what it means rose Yom Tov means to be distinct be
Seema means with its sign. What is the sign of a rosebush? The thorny
bush.
The thorny bush, the bright smelling flowers and his salami.
Salam refers to any thorny flower, any thorny bush. So he's saying
the rosebush clearly is set apart from any other type of thorn,
thorny bush.
Because of the bright flowers, that's it same. So just like the
rose is distinct from all other thorny flowers, or acacia, or
whatever else you want to say there is, likewise the Sahaba in
terms of the vigor of the attack in their weapons. They were also
distinctive with that sign. But by using the rosebush, among them, he
also shows the other side that while the rosebush has stones, but
it also has a nice smell, and something that gladdens your
sight. So not only is it nice to your vision, because when you look
at the rows, the first thing you notice are the bright flowers, and
the smell, the thorns only come later when you try to get close.
So he's trying to show two sides of this, while at the same time
using similar words, and also trying to shine the distinction of
how a rosebush is. And of course, the way to enjoy this is to learn
Arabic and just to
to really relish the words that he's used, and to think back about
the sahaba. So Amhurst tastes and he says, where the tale of Makkah
one by Muslim arms is told in story, there shall
the Muslim strain be sung to the O Lord, we give the glory.
So that's what he's saying here. Allah subhanho wa Taala say Seema
Humphrey, would you hear him in authority sujood speaking about
the pious people,
and
Seema homefree, would you hear him their sign is on their faces,
because of the effect of Sajida because of the effect of
frustration.
So what does that exactly mean?
According to Imam Malik, he says
that, because of the constant touching of their forehead onto
the ground, a Mark had been left there. Others say that this is
actually not necessarily something you can see in this world. It is
actually about the day of judgment where Allah subhanho wa taala,
because of the effects of prostration before him in this
world, he will create a light in that place.
Just like every part your washing will do will have a light horombo
hygiene as is mentioned in the Hadith. Another group, they say
that this actually just refers to this appearance, this light, this
appearance on the face, that comes about, well, who will who shoe.
Yep, do idle watch. That is, you know, when a person prays a lot of
solid, true solid, proper solids, not the ones where you just go and
try to finish a 468 to fulfill the obligation. But a person who
performs enjoyable prayer they get into the prayer, generally, you
will see that they face will show the sign of wushu of reverence,
because they're constantly in that state of speaking to Allah
subhanho wa taala, standing before Him with all reverence. So then
that will, you will see that humbling look on their face as
well. So this is what it refers to. Now, I would probably say that
all of this applies, because for many people, especially in those
days, when they were making such they're not on fine carpets.
Sometimes one of the most expensive piece of furnishing in
the masjid is sometimes the carpeting does cost a lot of
money. Because there needs to be something that no will last a long
time and so on. Does that mean these carpets are not cheap,
generally. So
those days, they was just pebbles. Even it was.
That's why it's very interesting. You read in the books of Fick, it
says that when you go for such that you're not allowed you're not
supposed to make movements in prayer. But he said that if the
place you're going to make such days uneven, then it's permissible
to just with one quick stroke level it as best as you can, so as
not to make a major movement. And you don't have to do that in the
masjid here. The only thing you'd probably have to move out is maybe
somebody's hair that they left behind. Unfortunately, in those
days, it was just the pebbles it was the sand it was whatever it
was outside. That's what they preyed on. In fact, according to
one of our teachers,
whose teachers in darlin Barry Mufti Shabbat services? I've never
come across any narration that actually shows that the prophets
of the Lord is seldom ever prayed on anything but they're all
ground.
He never prayed on anything ever. I mean, for us, it's always this
look for something. When you go outside we think everything's not
just everything is impure, we have to put something down.
But no, it's permitted to pray on the ground. And as long as there's
no clearly there's nothing there and you can see then you're
allowed to pray.
There's no need to be doubtful, unless of course, you've just seen
a dog sitting there urinating they're just a while before some
drunken moving around on there or something like that. Other than
that, it's completely fine. You have to get used to it. It's very
difficult to prey on the on the ground bare ground without being
used to it just feels that it's unclean, sort of this. So that's
how clearly the Sahaba were distinct in their value. Then he
carries on and he says to her de la Korea who Nasir Nina Shara home
for Tessa was Zara Phil economical kami winds of victory on a you
with their perfume.
The winds of victory will bring to you will give to you their
fragrance. You would think them blossoms you think them blooms
right to come from the space.
What that means is fatass Zara Phil economical alchemy
so that's the next time
to de la Korea. Rio Nasri Rio Nasir means the winds of victory
because it's very abstract winds of victory. What is the winds of
victory? Winds of victory is when things go right for you. When you
become victorious, that's the winds of victory and then a news
travels that's the winds of victory. National home refers to
this their fragrance. And again that fragrance refers to what
they're doing and their ability and their valor. And to the idea
you have the means to gift idea to God comes from there. So the winds
of victory and assistance will bring to you will gift you with
their fragrance for Zara, and then after that you will consider the
Zara
Fil A company. Zara is the flower in the UK ma'am within it's what's
the ACMA within the petals and all of that it's all to do with that.
And the Kimmy ushja al Motta, Fifi clrv, that's the meaning of Kula
Kami, you will you will see, you will see them. So now what he's
trying to say here, this is kind of a bit more
complicated. What he's what he's saying here is to the Laker, he
will bring to you is obviously referring to anybody that values
this, that they will, the winds of victory will bring to you the
fragrance, the excellent fragrance. And then after that,
you will assume that every brave one among them, every champion
among them, is like a flower within its petals, within its
place of resonance, its place of
lighting,
because of the beauty that comes from their behavior, because of
their virtue.
So a flower on its own doesn't look as good as when it's within a
bouquet. When it's surrounded by some leaves, it looks more
natural, somebody gives you flowers separately, then they give
it to you among some other nice green, it just looks better,
because it brings the garden into your house. In a sense, it's not
just an individual flower. So likewise, when the smells, the
fragrance of the Sahaba will come to you, you will assume that each
one of these champions is like a beautiful flower within that
bouquet and
their petals and their surroundings. And this is because
you know about their further ill. So when you hear about this, then
you will assume everything along with it you will have a fuller
story and then the beauty of it will emerge.
So it's just trying to create more emotion towards it. That's the
whole idea of this.
And because fragrance is such that it's carried by the wind fragrance
is carried by the wind. So if it's a good fragrance, it will go far.
Unfortunately today, we just don't have most of the flowers that are
grown around there. All prepared in nurseries. Sometimes they
lacked the natural fragrance that they should have. Whereas you go
to other countries and sometimes you know evergreen countries that
are not duckweed, they don't have to use all of these strange
methods.
As of growing them, you'll actually hear a smell that
Jasmine, you'll go past and you'll, you'll smell the
eucalyptus. I remember in Rome, you could smell you could pull
down the eucalyptus leaves and it was just all over the place. So
it's quite natural like that where you you smell that like that. And
because fragrance comes from flowers, he then use this example
of the flowers to show and then they're setting and they further
in. Another poet says, every corner of the garden shines
fulfilled with Achmed. Xlite.
Salah lorrison there the verdant herbs, his comrades, comrades
there, his kin, the tulips bright, that his whole garden
is saying, the prophets of the Lord is telling them his family,
and his comrades, his Sahaba etcetera, they like a beautiful
garden.
And then he says, de la Horrell Hi Haley and up to Robin mentioned
that hill has Mila I mean shit, that Hill who zoomy
is goes back to them on their horse backs.
Home and then they on the backs of their horses are like upright
flowers uplight upright bushes or upright growth. One is you have
upright growth that stands still regardless of wind, then you have
that which is low down, it just grows in over the ground that gets
and that is something you have to pick instantly because it's more
perishable than the plants that grow up. So he's saying they're
not up to Reuben, the rubber means high elevated. So they are growth
that is elevated growth that grows upright and steady. So when they
are on their animals, when they are on the backs of their animals.
They are like upright plants that are standing on their STEM by
their own. You don't have to tie anything to it. They stand on
their own stem mentioned that it has me because of full resolution,
full resolve. That's why they're doing that lambing shed that it
hurts me not because they've been tied by a belt.
So he's showing that they are professional in their ability to
ride their horses and attacking those. They're not amateurs, that
they have to be held up in some way or put up somehow or propped
up. But no, it's because of the firm resolution that they have in
their mind. The husband has him it means a resolute individual. mean
somebody who knows what they doing. They have firm faith, they
have confidence. So he's saying that they are standing up with
confidence. You don't have to be propped up.
So he says he's our translator here. He translates differently.
He says in the saddle. They were as flowers on a hilltop so he is
translated differently as those flowers on a hilltop. But flowers
on the hilltop could also be looking down I mean, not straight
up here. The point is to make them stand straight up. So it's more
about elevated plants as opposed to or upright plants. Their
strength from resolve, not from strap and stirrup.
So they're not frightened horses. They are good cavalry. Yeah, here
Parkinson says, graceful the curving of war steed, graceful,
this tilting of Lance proudly the banners are streaming and proudly
the horseman prance. So now the reason that brings them this, this
valor, the strength, this nature of resolve on their horses,
they're up there on their horses the way they are, is because they
know how to ride the horses properly. And they have a vigor
and a vitality to go in and attack.
And the reason for that is they're not frightful, they're not
frightened. They're not fearful. And they're not. They know that
whatever the consequence of this battle, it's to their benefit,
because they are not waiting except they are either a beginner
team in the last name they have full confidence in receiving one
of two forms of great victories
and you know for them this was totally
something that when when you seen certain battles, they said what's
the point of living the process Ulsan was passed away when there
was that in the battle or heard it was just spread that across while
someone passed away and so what's the point of living let's go let's
do what we have to do. Oh, is it Jana? That I'm gonna go to Hollis,
let's let's go. He didn't even eat the rest of the few dates or
whatever he had in his hand. He says, I'll get better. There was
this full confidence that they had to just go and do what they have
to do. And that's why it's the last name they had firm resolving
is that there's going to be one of two outcomes and they're both
good. One is him of the hoodoo Allah I do. Either is going to
overcome his enemy and Be a victor. He is going to gain
victory or he is going to have Shahada.
This is something that is shahada is something that is really what
sets the Muslim apart from everybody else. So anyway, these
were the these were the sahaba. So Allah subhanaw taala says cool
Hilltopper sunnah Bina Illa snake name. These were the two
possibilities that they had. So that's why they had full
confidence in what they did.
Then he says, thorough global mean, but see him Farrakhan firmer
to Frederick banal. Me Well, Bumi
again, this is chiding the enemy, and he says, Dart Kulu will ADA
the hearts of the enemy have flown away, it put them to flight.
When your heart flies away, it means that your heart no longer
there you are extremely, and it's Farrakhan out of great fear and
fright. firmer to ferret. So you can use using the word Farah Khan,
which means right here, then he uses another version to Frederick
again Farah cough for now to Frederick banal. Bam, you will boo
me, they become such due to deaf rights. They become such that they
are unable to distinguish between
the herd small, basically, bomb refers to the
offsprings of goats and camels in a small group, a small camera, Kid
smoke, so they can't tell the distinction between that that
looks like a lion to them now. You get basically become so
disoriented, the same, they become so disoriented, that they don't
know the difference between bam and boom. Baja means small
animals. And that
would you call it
totally harmless? And boom. refers to the
the would you call it the army? So they think everything's an army.
They think everything's going to harm them because they become so
disoriented after seeing the Sahaba and the way they are. So
he's just chiding the enemy right now. He says thorat Kulu will
either mean but see him Farrakhan firmer to Frederick banal.
Bonnyville will, middle Bellamy will Bumi their boldness put their
enemies hearts to flight until you could not tell heard from host.
They became so disoriented that they started to be frightened of
small, small things afterwards.
And then he carries on, he says, although there's a Abdullah
Quilliam has a nice poem. He says, Day of freedom, bright and clear
day that tyrants well may fear day they fall undone and wrong, and
wept and honored and sunk. In the next poem, he says woman, the
woman that couldn't be Rasul Allah He Nosferatu, who, in teleca, who
acidophilus germy Taiji me. Now his focus with this poem is not
just to speak about the valor of the Sahaba, but to try to get some
of that valor and some of that strength and give some inspiration
to the Ummah as well. So in this one, he says, Whoever has the
assistance and the victory through Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, through following him through making him your role model
and through wanting to make him your main point of focus in
DeLuca, who acidophilus Jeremy Hatha Jimmy, then even if if you
do make the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
your point of victory, then even if you meet a lion in its own
forest and surroundings, it will cower down, and it will become
humble in front of you.
And although that sounds like a very exaggerated statements, and
something that doesn't happen every day, but there has been more
than one instance, in the past, where this actually happened from
the time of the sahaba. And later on, where the lion did nothing, in
fact, just came and sat down like a cat in front of humans. That's
because the people had those individuals had such great
reliance in Allah subhanho wa taala, that none of these things
then mattered
for them. So what he's saying here
is that you cannot reject the state of the companions, because
of their valor, and the humor, their aspiration, their strength,
their vigor, their absolute independence from the people.
Where can you imagine a person goes from the Muslim community?
And he goes into the Roman sorry, not the Roman he goes into the
Persian palaces. They've probably never, ever seen
They've, they've never seen pomp and splendor as as probably that
Sahabi saw
in that palace, where he's walking on cushions,
but rather than enjoyed and suddenly start becoming humbled.
Look, I mean, he's coming from the desert, he's coming from somewhere
else. Rather than that what he does is he hangs his sword at the
back. And as he's walking
it tears everything on its path.
Single Man going inside, that's what he does.
And he's just walking like that. And they're like, What are you
doing? Well, they had to accept it because they wanted to speak to
the Muslim army. And he was the representative goes and sits right
next to the
cause and sit next to the ruler.
Just casually goes up as though is his friend in you know, in tatty
clothing, whatever it wasn't just goes and sits there. If you try to
do that without then you make a big mess. You understand you you
have to have there has to be inside has to be right. You can't
just do it outwardly. This is what's happening today. It seems
not the knowledge has to be connected to Allah subhanaw taala
you have to be full Your heart needs to be alive. Right? You
can't just clean these things out and try to that's that's why we
got a lot of what's happening in the Muslim world today is you've
got a lot of people who are trying to show this boldness but they're
making massive mistakes. They're killing other Muslims is showing
their aggression against other Muslims and people who are
apparently supporting Muslims, they're killing them over and they
may giving you some a bad name in many cases. So it's kind of
misplaced. You can only do this if everything is right, you know,
you're really in the mode and the spirit of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, then lions will fear you as they said.
So
this is the same thing that everything will become frightened
of such a Mohammedi. Everybody will become frightened of such a
person who is a true believer, to such a degree, that even the wild
ravaging lion who else who is the king of the jungle, the lion
children who attacks them, the deer has to be constantly in
fright, the Zebra has to be in fright. All of these other animals
have to be in fright over the young especially. But the lion he
just walks around as he wants. So even if you find the lion in the
jungle, they will also cover in front of such an individual will
have directly subtlety. They will also come and become totally
degraded in front of such an individual,
despite the fact that it has the ability to pounce on this
individual, but it's not about the size anymore. It's about the
heart. And when that heart gives that energy, even the lion feels
that energy. That's what it is, is the it's the Imani energy.
So then he says, it's not like the lion is coming to the city and now
a lion is out of its normal habitat. So it has to be careful,
it's a bit disoriented itself no is saying even if you as an
individual who is connected properly to Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam go into the jungle, which is the habitat of the line itself.
It's totally confident it knows it knows the way in that jungle, it
will still cover in front of you if that's the case. But you have
to be one who's associated strongly with Rasul Allah Salah
and that's why he makes that the condition.
So then he says
that, just as in the previous poem, where he said that the
enemies became so disoriented that they stopped seeing the difference
between small animals and the enemy thinking that they were
interested it'd be jumping at any at everything. Well, love or
animals. There's some exaggeration or they or they may have happened
in certain cases. But this is a poem as you can understand. And
Allah subhanaw taala says, My UT Rasul Allah, Allah, Allah, anybody
who's obedient to the messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they
have been obedient to Allah subhanho wa taala. That is our
human manifestation that we need to follow, because we can relate
to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam being a fellow human being
and woman into Serbia and anybody who then seeks assistance through
the professor Lawson through Allah subhanho wa Taala lumea, the
liberal high lib, nobody can overcome that person then it's
related that there was one on one occasion some of the Sahaba among
whom was Abdullah ibn Umar Radi Allahu Anhu was going through a
jungle somewhere or going through somewhere and a lion came up
I believe now I'm one of them and went towards it and took its ears
and he led it away from the path so then everybody else could pass
and then he made the statement he said look, if Tamala
lo hifter Mala Tirana and a half a min km Kulu che if you are truly
free
You're full of Allah subhanho wa Taala everything would be fearful
from of you. This also they say happened to another hobby.
And this hobby was of honey.
You'd be surprised that you've got a Sahaba from Afghanistan, but
that is the one country that can actually boast as a hobby.
His name was Romain.
His name was Romain but he was more famously known as Safina the
Allah one and his MO la Rasulillah lessons he was actually a save of
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and the prophets Allah lorrison Call
him Safina because he was very strong, and he could pick up
pick up he was from bulk in, in Afghanistan today, although in
that time, it's probably called Hora son. But today it's called
Afghanistan. So he wasn't Avani. Actually. He was called Asani.
They they say this, the Sahaba were Saudis. No, they were Arabs,
not Saudi Saudi Arabia is a modern state is the name of the state. So
there was no they were no certainly they were Arabs. They
were from zero till Arab. So there's some people who have a
problem with the Saudi regime, even Saudis themselves their
problem with you know, the certitudes so they if you say, are
you going to Saudi Arabia, is it not? And don't say like ultra
conservative, in a 30 year, say, just era to era.
And it's Saudi Arabia man, that's the problem. That's what it is.
Then somebody overcomes a place that's where it becomes cold,
whether you like it or not. Right. You know, you can't be romantic
about it and say, Well, you know, there is nostalgia here. There is
but that's that's who run it. That's who that's who run the
place. What are you gonna do about it? You know, take it as it is.
So, this happened with Safina Mola Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam as well. He came across a line, and this is what he said.
And Imola. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
I am the slave of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
the Lion actually showed him the way where to how to go.
Next time you come across a line tell him you're a Muslim, you're a
follower of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, let's see how much him man
has him you can say that with.
Believe me if you say that with hasm It will happen.
If you have Yaqeen Allah subhanaw taala Believe me, Allah will show
you the saints.
Allah and she doesn't you just have to have the yaki
Allah give us more yaki and we need more European may have in
small things, sometimes big things, they shake us. That's how
you build it up.
What's happened with me twice, they're just IG twice. I've lost
my hotbar on a Friday and I found it again, even though I'm quite
sure that I lost it.
One was just about two weeks ago, I put the hotwire in my pocket. So
I went like this and put it from my over garment. I put it inside.
I remember doing that. I went and I couldn't find it.
When I came back home, I read in earlier coming back home I read in
Atilla when it Rogers, Allah can give it to us if you really wants
to, I wish this would happen all the time. But it doesn't happen
all the time. Right? The Yaquina isn't there fully, but came home
and I found it on the shelf.
Like I'm sure I tried to put in my pocket. And what I assumed was
that it probably dropped out, I hadn't put it in my pocket
properly. Because you know, when you put something in from an over
Garmin into this pocket, you may have not put it properly any must
have dropped out. That's what I remember more. So when I was in
America, once I was going for Juwan, I had to drive his two
miles to the muscle drive to the machine. There's this long stretch
of road and the window was open, some somewhat open about half open
or something like that. And I put the paper
with the with the lecture notes, etc already on the seat next to
me. And I saw paper flying out. And I couldn't find the so even
came back I stopped the car that I went and looked around. I mean,
how far is the paper gonna go? I looked around, I couldn't see
anything. And I am 100% Sure I saw a paper fly out the out of the
window. That's why I stopped confined, came back and I was like
those notes were really because I really spent a lot of time
preparing those notes
must have gone in and said whatever I could from memory. I
didn't have all the notes but you've just prepared you know what
you're saying? But I wanted those notes. And
I came back got into the car and the paper was there on the floor
of the car.
Now I saw something play out somehow, maybe or something else
that flew out. But for me, it definitely flew out. Do you
understand? So it happens you get it. It's just if you can have your
your team
in more serious situations. So these these things are all
possible. There are so many stories like that that you will
hear day in and day out. You just have to think of Allah at the
right time. That's the most important thing that Allah should
be in your mind when these kinds of things happen. Then I'll
I will be yours. That's why the prophets Allah Allah, some said,
to Ibis are the Allahu Anhu that be mindful of Allah and He will be
mindful of you.
If Allah, you will be mindful of Allah, He will be mindful of you
be mindful of Allah, you will find him in front of you. So
these are the things that happen.
There was another Sheikh somewhere, or whether you have
Allah who
had invited some guests to his house, they'd come to visit him
and a lion, or wild beasts or whatever it was kept bothering
this particular guests, when he was trying to come, they get the
guests, this particular beast, it went and stood in its way. So the
way he must have seen this, so he went out, he took hold of the ear
of this animal. And he told it off. He said, haven't I told you
before not to mess with my
it's like talking to his dog. You know, the way people talk to their
dog these days? You know?
Haven't I told you before not to mess with my guests.
So all of these things are absolutely present. I fully
believe in these things, though. They sound mythical. Never
happened to me. But I fully believe this. Because if you can
project what you're keen, you have, what's I mean? SubhanAllah.
This is absolutely possible. I don't know what I would do in that
situation. But I would definitely try it.
But that's not good enough. I'm gonna try it. It might work. It
might not. That's not good enough. You have to realize that what's
good enough is I know it's going to work. When I can say that, that
means Jackie.
I don't know if I can say that. Stand in front and say what I want
to say. And know that it's not going to do give my heart and
overpower the hearts of the animal. Right because of iman.
Then that's, that's when you say you got your key. So that that's
what you need to make. And you can't just get into the ring and
knock the other guy down. You have to prepare for the ring.
That's what our Sheikh says you can you have to prepare for this.
So you can't just get into the ring you will be knocked out. Say
I'm going to do this the next time it happens, but we miss our
prayers. We mess around we look around we were not careful of what
we eat. It's something it's not gonna happen. You have to build
your Eman first.
And that's why it says that from an ATO Allah authority who could

everything will be obedient to Him.

creator of the beings. Once you're with the creator of the beings all
the creation is with you. That's what it is. What will die tofield
What are however that Quwata illa biLlah Hill alila Aleem and then
he says, Well, I'm Tara I mean, Wally, you know, you're on docid

what do you have Allah who doesn't get assistance because of being
with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
What I mean by is fully obedience. And you will see no foe that is
not overwhelmed or overwhelmed. If you have that connection with the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
So what the author is saying here, what he means by when he here is
any believer, any believer who is seeking assistance, by His
obedience to the messenger SallAllahu is when you say seeking
assistance, and not praying to the rest of the law isn't the way to
seek assistance from messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam is to
be obedient to do what he's told us to do. That is the best form of
soccer you could have from Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi
wasallam. So you will then have benefit and victory over both your
physical
and any other form of enemy that is out there for you meaning
anything that is to your detriment.
It will be destroyed, it will not be able to stand. And the reason
the Sahaba showed us because they were the closest in their
obedience to the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam so be
it they were physically close as well. Obviously, they were there
with him, they were chosen. So the Sahaba has shown us that that is
the ability there.
May Allah subhanahu wa Tada give us the Tofik and then finally he

placed his cubs in a safest place, being the king of the jungle
jungle, knowing where to place having the right kind of security,
this is exactly what the Prophet salallahu has placed his ummah and
he's shown us the way, if we follow that way we will be in the
safest of places just like the lion cubs in the safest and most
secure secure places.
So that's where he says, A Hello motto he placed, he placed his

that's that's how anybody who that's the profit and loss has
done that for us. Now. All that is required is for us to build that
relationship and obedience, so that we can also gain that
elevation, and that humility, and baraka and that blessing.
So,
what are Aisha al Boronia says, error is a desert. Sinners have to
flee through him, they wind salvation and brilliant company.
That's Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Wilfred Blount says the voice of power speaks from the wilderness.
It chooses untaught men, Lone wonders of the rocks, shepherds
with slings and stones, young Somis from their flock.
That's been the power of the Quran when took people away from the
desert and made them the rulers of the world.
Now, the poem says and so he bears his brothers, all his treasures
his children, joyfully calling out to the very heart of his long
awaited Lord.
And God called out to me and said, Rise prophets rise and hear and
see and let my works be seen and heard. By all who turned aside
from me.
That's the promise of the Lord isn't being told.
That now you need to openly and publicly proclaim your message.
