Abell la cosa limita Sleeman girthier on Eli Yomi, Dean and
mothered many times the story of the Queen of Sheba is told it's
generally told in the shadow of Sulaiman Adi salaam story. Today,
the whole drive apparently is about queens and the Queen of
Sheba in particular. However, the Queen of Sheba is obviously not
somebody that would be relevant if it wasn't for the case of
Soleimani Salaam. We've had numerous kings and queens that
have basically receded into oblivion. They've disappeared into
the darkness of history, never to be told off, told about again.
However, those few kings and queens that had an encounter with
a prophet, positively or negatively, generally negatively,
they found their way into history, generally for some notoriety,
generally for a bad reason. So let's take the names of for
example karoun, or a Harman or Faro for that matter, or otherwise
you have num rude, and so on, and Shuddha, then a number of others.
Now, the one interesting story in all of this is about the queen
is about the Queen and this is the Queen of Sheba. This one is a
positive story. This was a happy ever after story, because this
queen wins at the end of it, whereas all those kings, they
don't really when they go down as notorious, just like Abuja Hill
did from the time of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam. So that's
kind of very interesting, unique thing about the Queen of Sheba.
She is one of those sovereigns, that actually benefits from their
sovereignty and they open their openness, they open heartedness to
Allah subhanho wa taala. I read you some verses from Surah. Number
two novel is the chapter of the ant. It just speaks very shortly
about the ant a few verses about the end, where Suleimani Suriname
was going by and intelligent and told the rest of the ants quickly
move away, otherwise you'd be trampled upon. So a mannerism
heard this, because today Marathi salaam was given that amazing
ability to actually listen to birds and animals and understand
them, he could actually speak to them, he could hear them
comprehend them. This was an amazing ability. He had asked
Allah subhanho wa taala, for a mulk, Dominion and control and
kingdom like no other like no other. In fact, on one occasion
with Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa salam, the prophet,
he told her Sahaba the next day he said last night, I'd actually
caught a gin, a shaytaan, I'd actually caught one. He was
messing around in my prayer, he was messing with my prayers. So I
caught him, and I would have kept him and tied him to one of the
pillars of the masjid so that you guys could have, you know, done
something with him. But then I remembered the dua of Salima and
Alehissalaam that gives me a kingdom like no other. So I don't
want to compete with him in that. That's essentially the gist of
what the prophets of Allah ism said Soleimani salaam had control
over the winds. The winds used to carry him used to have this
special
stage of or something like a platform
Have some sorts which is was a vehicle and the wind and will come
and just take it. I know it seems
completely something out of the world something mythical, but
apparently that was the case at the time because he had the jinn
working for him as well. Anyway, our focus is not solely on it,
he's Salam Salima Islam story is much longer in the Quran, I'm
going to take just the part where he has an encounter with with this
queen. And
so
the how it starts off is
Allah subhanaw taala speaks about surname and it some inheriting
from his father, though that is, in fact the kingdom of Zulema and
that Islam was much greater than the older Islam. According to many
of the Jewish traditions, they call Sulaiman al Islam, the
prophet King. In fact, his kingship seems to dominate his
prophecy.
Jewish tradition is very different to Muslim tradition and to
Christian tradition in the way they deal with their prophets. So
for example, once I was with a rabbi in a program, and I remember
he mentioned you know, for us, emulating the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam sunnah is a big deal to emulate the prophets of Allah
Islam. We do this to be like the prophets of Allah, some because
he's a role model for us. So the Christians also have this in a
kind of a spiritual sense with Jesus peace be upon him. But when
it comes to the Jewish tradition, one of the rabbis who I used to
know very well when I was in America, he, he said he in he, he
related an account, he says, that is a man who is going to go to
God, and God is going to ask him, What did you do? What have you
brought? What's your accomplishment in the world? So he
would say that I am going to I tried to be like, David, nowadays,
I tried to be like David tried to copy him in every sense. So
according to the story, he says, God will say to him, I already
created one David, I didn't need another one. Right? Whereas with
Muslims, we have this concept of emulating the prophets. Anyway
getting back to our story.
So Mr. Islam is there with all of all of this sovereignty all of
this control everything at its bidding, he had a bird now the
good thing about the hoop head and if you've ever done a search for a
hoop I did recently Hood Hood is the bird it's called who pay in
English or lapwing according to some, but if you do, it's a very
beautiful bird. It has a crest and which opens up like a peacock
sometimes you know, like peacocks when it opens up its feathers.
It's this massive kind of fan of really beautiful intricate design.
Likewise, that's what the who pay does and apparently it's supposed
to see water it's supposed to be able to discover water even
underground. So as they were traveling, he starts looking for
Hood Hood because they needed water supply and they don't find
Hood Hood Hood Hood is missing. So this is how it starts. What the
fuck are the player for Karla Malia law Earl hood um criminal
has been
went and check the birds out and among them he says how can what is
the what is wrong with me what is my problem it's very important to
understand his murli what is my issue? What's happening with me
that I cannot see the Hood Hood? Or is he just absent? Like is he
there? I can't see him or is he just absent completely local as
the burner who either been shady that I'm going to give him a
really severe punishment severe punishment. I'll pick all of his
wings out all of his all of his feathers out and leave him there
today essentially in the heat Lords even though I haven't shed
either. Oh, La Banda who? Oh, I'm going to slaughter him. Oh, layer
tn ni B Soltani mobian unless he gives me a very brings me a good
clear excuse must have a good reason of why he's not around.
Anyway, it carries on the story from Agatha robbery then and then
suddenly the hood hood does appear. But he stays at a
distance. He stays at a distance. And he says he forgot that I had
to remind him to hit me he was to come in Sabah in Vienna, but in a
clean, he says I have just encompassed I've just gotten my
head around something that you don't know about Sulayman ARIA
someone doesn't know about. So he is enticing him and that is
excused. I've just brought you some information that you don't
know about. I've come from Sabah. It is this place in Yemen, right?
Remember,
Salima Eisah was in Jerusalem. And this is some some hundreds of
miles down in in Yemen south of the Arabian Peninsula, right under
Saudi Arabia today. So I just come from suburb with some definite
news with some really serious certain news I have in the budget
tomorrow Latin term likova I have found there a woman who rules over
them and she has been given everything so she has been
bestowed with many blessings of the world. She has huge rules.
She has many things under her domain and under her dominion,
what are her Arcia nauseam. But the one great thing that he made
he distinguished out of everything is that she has this really
fabulous majestic Arash and throne. So he really picked that
point out.
But the problem is he says Wadjet to have a coma yesterday in the
shops, I found her and her entire people who are prostrating to the
sun, the sun worships, there was sun worshipers, they don't worship
Allah and shaytaan has been which them shaitan has adorn their
actions. So he's prevented them from the Path of Allah. That's why
they are not guided.
And it carries on the next verses, verses of such though, which I'm
not going to read right now. But
now the interesting thing here that we need to look at, is that
when he asked,
I told you, he says, ma li are all hoods. Why can I see him? What's
wrong with me? Many of them have sad and have written here that
Molly, he is so connected to Allah, and everything he does as a
prophet, and this is how any person close to Allah is. They
bring Allah into the picture at all times. So anything that
happens it's Allah right? Allahu Akbar something good happens in
that Allah who are in LA he Raji Arun, we are for Allah to him, we
will return if something wrong happens Subhan Allah something
strange happens Alhamdulillah if something good happens, this is
the way of a believer so he says Manny, what is the problem with
me? Is it that I have not been grateful to Allah have I missed
out on some of my vicar have I missed out on some My Remembrance
or my gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala that I can't say he's first
blaming himself. Or then he's saying okay, well if it's not that
then maybe he's just not there this who pay is just not there.
We tell the stories and we're told the stories rather in the Quran
not to entertain us the whole point of stories in the Quran not
to entertain us that's why a lot of the time they seem to jump from
the major feature to the next major feature without really
telling you the kind of masala details in between right everybody
understands masala, the spice Yanni you know the, those details.
Now those details you generally get get from a lot of narrations.
Many of them Israelite narrations, you have to be careful about
those, we can only take for certain what Allah subhanaw taala
mentions in the Quran. The other parts of it, I mean, there's some
of Assyrian that give you lots of detail lots of this juicy detail
without really sifting through it, while others are more particular.
So everything I'm taking today is from two it's it's from two
sources, just so that if you want to go and check it up, or just for
authenticity, per se, I'm taking either from Ebuka theory, or I'm
taking from coda to be the great and the Lucien scholar cool to be
right. So
when he comes and gives us this information, he says that I found
a woman who is ruining over them, let's just try to understand who
she is. What's interesting about this woman is that her father was
a was the leader before after that it's told that a he only had a
daughter, and she was somewhere else she was not going to be the
next leader. But there was somebody else that they put in
leadership who started to do some really bad things. So this bill
keys she the Queen of Sheba, at the time name is Bill keys, she
went to him and asked him to marry her. And then after she finished
him off, and then she took over and she started running the
kingdom. Allah knows best exactly of those details. Somehow she got
onto the throne and she was leading. She was leading. She
obviously
you have a you have an ancestry and genealogy for her that goes up
to some ignore, as most human beings go to new Halle salon
because he's the second father. However, what we're told here
about her is that she, the Greek sorry, the Christian and Jewish
tradition speak a lot about her. A lot of the Jewish tradition is
very similar to the Muslim perspective. There's also the
Ethiopian tradition, they believe that she is therefore for mother.
Right? That the a lot of the Abyssinians that Ethiopians came
for her. So she holds a really important position in Ethiopia,
they have another name for that her name, according to them is
called Makita. Right? Whatever, whatever that means. I'm not sure
what that means. That's the Ethiopic name for abilities. The
one thing is that pretty much majority agree that the Shiba was
a sub South Arabian kingdom of Sabah of Sabah, which is close to
the oasis of Maghreb. That's in Yemen today if anybody wants to go
and check this out and present the Yemen and
I'm not going to go through what the different traditions say
about it because it's just raw detail. We want to hopefully try
to learn something from here, that what we're trying to get from here
is the power of Allah subhanaw taala. It's about the intoxication
of power. But for some people when they guided, they're willing to
give that up. You can contrast this with the story of Pharaoh
Pharaoh also had a lot of power. But Pharaoh until the last minute,
he remained obstinate, he remained arrogant, he remained opposed. He
wanted to enjoy the life of this world and didn't focus on the
hereafter, whereas the Queen of Sheba was a whole different
tradition. Now, one twist in here is that many traditions mentioned
that she was only half human.
So she was half human and half gin. Her mother was a gin. Right,
made a fire, a gin and her father had married a gin. Allah knows
best within the realm of possibilities within the realm of
possibilities. It's a possibility. Right? It's a possibility. It
doesn't happen every day.
But it's in the realm of possibilities. Okay.
Anyway,
this, I want to mention something about her kingdom. This kingdom
was an amazing kingdom. And the reason for it is it's known as the
ancient Serbian kingdom, right ancient Serbian Kingdom. It
probably arose around the second millennium BCE. It was eventually
conquered by the Human Rights in Yemen. But they were very wealthy.
They had they had built a dam, say sailor Adam, Adam in that place
called Adam. It's in the Quran. Right? And Allah subhanaw taala
actually speaks about this place. Laqad carnally, Saba in fee,
Moscone him IRA, Janet Ernie, and yummy in in washy Merle pulumi
riskware have become wash karula, builder to Toyota, what a boon
before that there was for the tribe of Saba, in their dwelling
place, assign two fields to two huge orchards on the right and on
the left. So they, you know, irrigation in a desert is
extremely important. So they had these beautiful orchards. They
were told, Allah had had this developed for them, and then they
were told, eat from the provisions of your Lord, eat, enjoy yourself.
But be grateful to Allah. That's always important. Eat from the
provisions of your Lord and be grateful to him. This is something
that should resonate with us, because we just spoke about Syrian
we just spoke about Syrian people right now. We are enjoying
ourselves in this country. Yes, we have challenges. But mashallah,
we've got food on our table, we can go and buy whatever clothing
we want. Allah has opened up the dunya for us what the lesson for
anybody like this is, and to be, to be honest, the way we live
today, a normal person living today, we live like our our low
middle class today is living like the elite of 100 years ago, in
terms of the access we have to various different types of foods
or clothing. You know, nothing is beyond our control today. Nothing
is beyond our reach today. Right? That's, that's we need to thank
Allah subhanaw taala. So Allah is saying, eat from that provisions
of your Lord but be grateful to him wash karula A good land Allah
has given you an a forgiving Lord Subhanallah a good land, you may
make mistakes, but of forgiving Lord. So Allah even tells you that
I'm a forgiving Lord. But for our due for arsena. I let him say that
Adam, they did not. What they did was they turned away, they refuse,
they were ungrateful. They became heedless. So we sent upon them the
flood of the dam, that same flood, that was a source of prosperity
for them was source of life for them, a source of great income and
enjoyment for them that just burst forth. And we replaced the two
fields of gardens, with gardens of bitter fruit instead of the
gardens of pure fruit beforehand. It says that those gardens were so
lush with good fruit, that women would just walk with baskets on
their head through the gardens, and it'd be filled up by the time
they don't even have to pick them because they were just ripe for
picking and they would just drop inside as they moved along. I
mean, maybe I don't know if that's a bit of a dramatization of that.
But you can understand that this was a beautiful place. But Allah
subhanaw taala says, well, but de la homogeneity him Jana taneous,
Awatere. You couldn't humped what ethylene were shaking, considering
Khalil, which is really repulsive. We replaced the two fields of
gardens with gardens of bitter fruit tamarisk and something of a
spouse load trees. So all changed. Now what happened is, According to
historians away from the Quran, if I look at historians, they say
that the failure of the irrigation system, it when that happened, it
provoked the migration of 50,000 people from Yemen at the time,
which was a huge amount of the time the population wasn't as
great. They went as far as Arabian rest of the Arabian Peninsula,
Syria and Iraq.
That's how far they had to go to. In fact, you know, the
Oh and the hazards, the major tribes of Madina, Munawwara, the
two Arab tribes who became Muslim, their forefathers are from Sabah.
In fact, all the Arabs pretty much start from Yemen because you have
those other Arab and then you have the group of Jurusan that came to
Makkah and stayed with a smiley someone Hydra Alia Salam they call
Allah honorable Mustafa Raba. They're like the second degree of
Arabs, but original Arabs come from Yemen. It's very interesting.
A new dam has been recently built in that place. And you can see
pictures of this. It's been built to be close to the location of the
following You know, who built it. Qin ze Sultan's I'd rather sold on
zeidner Sultan Al Nahan, of Abu Dhabi. And you know, the reason
why he built it, because his family is from that area from
Yemen as well. Right? We've got lots of people from Yemen, Yemen
is where lots of things stop. Any Yemenis here, Yemeni, and Yemenis.
Yemenis and Syrians are some of the best people that I've seen to
be honest, Yemenis and serums. Because Allah subhanaw taala paid
for those both for the Allahumma barik lana fish Amina, or for
Yemen Nina, oh Allah bless our sham and bless our Yemen I
visited. I visited I've studied in Sham, but I haven't studied in
Yemen, and I'd love to go Inshallah, when things settle down
a bit, and may Allah make him settled down. Anyway, let's move
on.
Hood, Hood comes back. And then he says that she has this massive
throne. Now what is this throne all about? This just gives you the
understanding of what they had. According to ignore above, so the
Allahu Anhu said that her throne was 80 cubits in length, in
length, 80 cubits. And in depth like this, it was 40 cubits. And
just to give you understand a qubit is basically from your
finger to your, to your elbow. That's a qubit. Now everybody has
a different size. But let's give it 48 to 50 centimeters is a
cubed, two cubits is a meter. So if we're talking about 80, cubits
how many meters are we speaking, we're talking about 14 meters in
length that's bigger than this room. Like, that's crazy, right.
And in witness form, it's it's 20 meters. And it's, it was tall,
3030 cubits slash 20, that's 1515 meters tall. Now that it's not
made of wood, it's studied, it studied with gold, and it's
studied with pearls and emeralds, and rubies, and just just crazy,
you know, that kind of thing. And then just covered and furnished
with Brocade, and pure silk, and so on and so forth.
After he hears about this, surname on it, salatu salam says, called a
Senan, Guru, a sadaqa, and condominial Kategorien, I'm going
to go and check this out, I'm going to see whether you're lying
or not, or whether you're telling the truth in her mykita beha. Now,
this is this is a very shrewd human being. Immediately he writes
a letter, he writes a letter to this Queen of Sheba, that if there
is somebody that exists, let's see what kind of response comes about,
go with this letter of mine, for de la him and go and drop it
there. And then come back, you're just supposed to leave the letter
there, and you're supposed to come back, and then I'm going to see
we're going to see how they respond.
This is high level diplomacy, we're going to see how they
respond.
So who takes this letter in his beak, or in his claws, or whatever
it is. And he finds that she this is early morning, she's still
sleeping. He wants to get the letter to her, but he can't find
entrances, all guarded, right? Finally, he finds a small window
in the direction of the sun. Remember, there was sun
worshipers. So when the sun would rise in the morning, she would get
her. She would get her sunlight, she would get her blast of
sunlight. And she you know, she would do whatever she had to do.
Right. So he went into the into her chamber from there, and he
dropped the letter on her while she's sleeping. And then he goes
and sits there in that porch watching. And she gets up and she
becomes a bit scared and frightened. First, Where's this
coming from? Nobody has entered he or she looks around. There's
nobody in the room. And it's all guarded and closed and locked in
whatever the case is. And then after that she looks and in fact,
in another one, it says that she woke up late that day because he
was covering that window. Right? He was covering that hole to the
outside. Anyway, she sees the bird.
He she sees the bird and then he he disappears. He did. She
understands that this letter has come through this bird.
And what is so lame on it so I'm doing think about that.
When you read the letter, then you will understand what he's doing.
This is not some kind of royal diplomacy only for the sake of
land grab for the sake of expansion for the sake of
conquering. This is something else Soleimani salaam
He was given all of the sovereignty, he is doing something
that essentially all of us should be doing, which is the data which
is to teach people which is to enlighten people about Allah
subhanaw taala. So now this is what happens. She says, In Neopia,
Ilya Kitab al Karim.
That's her statement. She goes out and she says that I've just been
delivered a an honorable letter Kitab And Kareem. Now, why does
she say that? She doesn't know. Sorry, Mrs. Olam, but from the
letter, because it had the name of Allah subhanaw taala in there.
That is maybe why she said that it's noble and Kareem, right,
maybe is because she heard her. She then figured out who Selena
and Alison was, and she thought, wow, you know, I've got this
letter from Soleimani Salaam. So there's different reasons of why
she said that, but she said it will clear Ilya Kitab And Kareem
and this is now you will hear the shortest letter in history. This
is like the shortest lever letter that we know to be documented and
written in history.
In the hoomins Sulayman, it is from Sulayman. We're in the who
and it is and here the letter starts Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem. Alert that Lou earlier what to name
Muslim in.
Its in the Name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful. That's
half the letter. Right? That you do not try to overcome me.
And come to me in submission.
submitting to Allah. That's it. That was enough of a message
between one intellectual individual to another intellect.
He was testing her.
This is this is that was enough, as they say in in Arabic, Alaska,
Lu, tech fee Hill ishara. For any intelligent person, assign a
gesture is sufficient. You don't need to spit it out. Right.
So she says she goes to her her congregation, her ministers, her
court? She says yeah, you hold Miller. Oh, my congregation. I've
just been I've just received this letter is from Solomon. It says
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim, Allah Allahu Allah, Yahweh. Toony
Muslimeen. In fact, there was actually another letter that comes
to mind. There was
one of the great Abbas in Halifax, I believe he was, he had some
skirmish with the Romans, and one of the Romans, who, who the
Muslims used to use to rule their land, they stopped paying the
jizya. And he got a bit bold and and then he wrote to the to the
ruler saying to the Muslim ruler, leave saying that,
would you call it I'm not going to pay any more this than the other.
So then he responded, he's, he said, Al Joab, matara, who do an
atlas Mara.
He called out to me says, oh, dog of Rome. He says, oh, dog of Rome.
The answer to this letter is what you will see, not what you will
read. Right? Don't take that as justification for any crazy act.
Okay.
Anyway, so
she then carries on, she says, You need to help me off, Tony.
Give me your opinions. Mark, on Ducati at an Amazon hetta schoon.
Until you don't testify until you don't give me your opinions. I'm
not going to make any definite decision any any definitive
decision that taught that speaks about somebody who, especially in
times like this, they are trying to get an understanding because
you're putting everybody in jeopardy here. You know, just
going around and doing things other places aggressing in other
places. So
she's asking everybody, and then she says,
God, no, this is the this is the way they reassured her reassured
her they said Nana boo Wharton, whoa, Batson shed Eden. Well,
emerald Lake foundry mother, Maureen says, Look, we are a
people who have huge amount of power. We've got a lot of
resources. And we can be very, very tough against whoever it is
that we fight. But at the end of the day, the decision is yours.
You think about what you're going to decide. And then she said one
thing she says call it in the maloca is the Hello cadet. And
I've said to her, which is earlier Villa or cathodic. AFR dune
rather than take the aggressive step. Now we can learn from this,
our leaders can learn from this right? That he says that when
kings she said when kings enter a town or an area or a city, they
will lay to waste. They will make the respectable people in there,
they will make them humiliated. And this is exactly how they do.
What I'm going to do is in the morcilla twin lamb idea for now
Thira to be majority or almost saloon. What I'm going to do
instead is I'm going to send them gifts, soft power
right
Mao era The Allahu Anh had a great ability to bring hearts together
and keep the OMA unified after the great chaos is of his time,
because he was so generous and used to say about another
governor, a relative of his, he would say that why does he have to
act violently, and suppress people by killing them and punishing them
and so on. I mean, look at the way I do it. So that's somebody who is
very intelligent, who understands how to use soft power. So anyway,
she seems to be doing this. She's saying, I'm going to send these
gifts to her. And you know, the gifts to slim and I design these
gifts were huge. I mean, you're talking about sending gifts from
one huge kingdom to another huge kingdom, a sent this many young
men, this many young young women and golden nuggets, and so on and
so forth. And her whole idea is that she's not sending this for
anything, but to test him, that if he is really claiming to have this
special source of connection to Allah subhanho wa, taala, to this,
God beyond the sun, right?
Then he's not going to accept this. And if he is a true king,
and he's happy with this, then we've protected ourselves because
if it's a person of the dunya of the world, he is going to be happy
with all of these great gifts that we give them. But if he is not of
the world, and he is really a prophet, then he's not going to
accept this. So this was her test.
So, further magia Sulaiman, when these gifts they came to Serena
and Ali salaam, she sent a specific individual with them. He
said, immediately Atomy Doonan, EB ma Are you trying to bribe me? Are
you trying to? Are you trying to
persuade me through wealth from our attorney, Allahu hieromartyr
Come In fact, according to some traditions, it's not in the Quran.
Some tradition, it says that he found out the who pay was bringing
back information. He was his spy right down there. And he said,
This is what they're doing. So what Salima Alliston did was he
had all the great members of his kingdom stand for miles outside of
Jerusalem for miles and miles on end. And then he asked, which is
the most wonderful animal there is in the sea. And they said so and
so he says, Go and get me two of them. And then he put them first
something so wonderous that you'd only ever see once in your life if
you're if you're lucky, right? So when this man heard heard, heard,
her envoy was bringing all of these gifts in this trail. And
suddenly from miles outside of Jerusalem, he suddenly start
seeing all of this wonderful kingdom and he's thinking, Okay,
this isn't gonna work, but he had to carry on and he went inside.
So today man on Islam as soon as he gets there, he says,
what Allah has given me is way superior to what you know, you are
trying to give me Allah has given me and what he's talking about is
not the wealth of the world which he had anyway, but what he's
saying is what Allah has given me meaning Islam prophecy and all of
this kingdom it's way superior it's much greater than what you
you are trying to give me and further off Robin mal I'm not
going to be satisfied with any wealth that you give me energy la
him go back to them take it all back. So they wanna Islam said
this to move the Ignore amor, who was who was her envoy says go back
with your we don't need it
further not to know whom did you know within law Kybella, whom beha
we're going to now come with a force, we're going to come with a
force that you will never be able to confront. That's what we're
going to do.
When a new region who minha and we're going to evict everybody
from the Avila homestyle heroin, right? Is this what you're trying
to do? So quickly, this man makes it back with all of their gifts
and everything. And he and then she says, after seeing this, that
definitely this man is not a king. He is not a king. And we have and
she recognized this was very different from Pharaoh, very
different from Pharaoh, she discovers that she says that we
have no ability to fight with a prophet of the prophets of Allah.
Almost as if faith is hard. They're in our hearts. Right?
Otherwise, why would she say that? And then after that, she says,
Okay, let's go to him now. So now this Arash, this great piece of
work that she had of this throne, she had it locked up in in with
seven protective layers. So within a chamber that's protected by
seven walls, right. And she had guards and put everything because
that was her most prized possession. That was the pride and
glory of her area.
So now she comes along, she starts coming in, it's going to take some
days to come along.
Sorry, Monterey, Saddam was a very imposing individual. People
wouldn't come and tell him things just like that until he asked
about them. So suddenly, he discovers that a day away just one
day away, or just very short distance away. There's this huge
group of people coming a delegation coming. Who are these
people? Oh, this is Bill keys. This is the Queen of Sheba. She's
coming. Oh, okay. Can you bring me her throne?
She's nearly there. Can you bring me her throne?
Carla, you will Mila a you community in EBRC her Cobla Toony
Muslimeen because she comes to me in submission as a Muslim who can
bring me her throne color a three two mineral gin. This really
active gin is like a special specific category of active bold
gins. Right? I hope you know what genes are genes are a creation of
Allah that's made of fire, right? Angels are a creation of Allah
made from light. And humans by the way are creation of Allah made
from soil. You really can't see any soil on you.
But it's your origin just like you can't see flour in bread after
you've baked the bread right so just in case somebody's got some
skepticism about that.
So
this gin says I can bring you this throne before you stand up from
your place so before you can stand up, I can have it here now sorry
Monterey salaam he's used to ultimate
in everything. He says no, that's not good enough.
What well, he didn't say that. But this man is saying another
immediately before so anyone only some could even deliberate that
maybe another person this time. That was a gin who said this?
Because remember Jin's worked for Soleimani salaam, right.
There was another human being whose name was Asif ignoble here,
he was a bunny. So it was from the Israelites. They say he's related
to slavery salaam, he had a very special knowledge, he had the
knowledge of the Name of Allah subhanaw taala, which the prophets
of Allah some solace that if you call on to Allah by that name, he
will answer your prayer is called Smola. Hill out of them. Right,
that great name of Allah, what name is that is what everybody is
searching for. Right? Now, that name isn't given to everybody. And
it's not told to everybody because people would misuse it. I'll just
give you a quick story about the SMA line. And there was a young
man who wanted to learn this name. So he was told that there's this
old che, who knows this name. So gone, gone, ask him, he went to
him, he says, Can I learn it from you know, you can't, he kept
bothering persisting, finally, the man says, Okay, I'm going to tell
you to do something for me. And if you get that, right, I may teach
it to you go tomorrow in this particular place in this close by
Woods or forest, sit by this in this particular place, and I just
want you to watch for two, three hours, what happens and come back
and report to me. So this man, the next day, he goes there, he sits
in that place, and he sees this older man older than the che,
who's who's collecting firewood. So the whole few hours, he's
collecting firewood. And he's feeling sorry for him, right
because his old man probably trying to make his money or
whatever the by collecting firewood. Finally he gets all of
this together this wood together. At the end of the day, he rolls it
up, you know, he ties it up and he puts it on his back. And as he's
going home, this is a young villain that comes along and
throws it off his back, pushes him down, takes the wood and walks
away. And that's several hours of effort just gone down the drain.
It comes then this man he sees all of this, but he's told not to do
anything. He comes back the next day and he tells the sheikh that
this is what I saw. He was telling me how you felt he said if I had
that is Mala Hill album if I had that superior Name of Allah, I
would have prayed against that man.
That's how angry I was. He says okay, you don't have the ability
to take this name. Because that man you saw being abused. He is my
shake.
He is the one island that is Mala Hill album from so if any Tom Dick
and Harry gets this Mala lava when the weather will go, right? You
know, in that so it's with people who are very restricted in you
know, they're very, very prudent, very connected to Allah they're
not going to use it for selfish gains and selfish motives. But
that name does exist. Now. Another story what that name is, right? If
we have time we'll look at that. But essentially this man now who
is a human being he's saying I couldn't get it faster. I can get
it that that throne of you, you know of those, what was it 3040
meters in length and so on and so forth. I can get that for you.
In the twinkling of an eye. Now there's some expression here that
it's explained as when it says twinkling of an eye is like you
know the furthest distance you could see outside and when you
look and then you look back I couldn't get it to you before
that. So it's almost like two seconds or three seconds or
whatever it is right? Crazy. And some have taken it literally is
literally a twinkle of an eye I can have it there for you.
So
God Allah the end the WHO animal Kitab T Kirby Coppola in your
third day in a KatataK. And then fell Amara who Mr. Khurana in the
WHO Carla Hava Amin, fatherly, Robbie. Now this is the most
important part. This is the lesson from us. He says, and then
suddenly he sees this arch. This thrown in front of him. It's there
already. Right? It's just there already.
And he says immediately this is from the grace of my Lord. This is
a gift of my Lord Leah blue honey ash.
Kuru Aquaphor he wants to see he wants to test me whether I am
grateful, or whether I'm ungrateful. Now, how many times
have we been gifted with things by Allah? Things that we've never
expected to get and suddenly we get it or in anything? How many
times do we thank Allah subhana wa Tada. This is a prophet showing us
that with everything that he's got, he always relates it back to
Allah because he knows that's where he's getting his power from.
And this is one of the great biggest things that is missing
from the Muslim ummah today, and that's probably why we are where
we are. Anyway, woman Shakira for income is Coralina, FSI and even
details he says whoever is grateful, they're grateful to
their own benefit. Because Allah says that if you are grateful, I
will give you more like in Chicago formula as Eden Nakum and Serena
is somehow understood this really clearly and carefully and believe
me, you try it, because I've got a friend who I've seen this like
clearly on he's always thanking Allah subhanaw taala when you ask
him how you are, you know, you ask people how you are Sal hamdulillah
as a rhetoric they don't even think of Allah is Alhamdulillah
just a statement, right? But this person when he says Alhamdulillah,
Ashok, really Allah, you can tell he's actually thinking about Yes,
all praise is to Allah. So he's actually thinking about Allah and
he's saying that and if you start doing that, believe me, your life
will become easy.
Your life if you start thanking Allah, your life will become easy.
And this was Solomon Allison and then he says woman gopher in
Nairobi, honey, you And Kareem and whoever is ungrateful, no, no
problem. My Lord is independent and noble himself, he doesn't need
anybody's help anyway, it's to our benefit, and he's teaching us that
lesson. Now, what happens here just to understand
is that
he sees this he thinks Allah question to me question to you
with the laws of wood, you have dragon anybody engineering here
What do they teach you in cube
with the whole concept of you know, Dragon going through the air
with this huge monstrous
throne, how can it be so fast? Like how was that even possible it
be dazzles the mind it confounds you, how is that possible
anywhere? Anybody have any theories? Right? The only theory
that I have, which, after such a long time, it was something that I
discussed with somebody a long time ago, which, which gave us
this idea, and then caught it to be mentioned it. It is, I think
the best way to explain it is using the atomic theory, not atom
bomb, but atomic theory of the of the theologians. What I mean by
that is you probably understand it from a, from a still have a video,
you know, in one frame, you've got the man here, and suddenly doesn't
he ended up somewhere else in the other frame. They they're showing
him in England, and the next minute, they're in Moscow, right,
for whatever reason, they Moscow. I don't know why I mentioned
Moscow, but you know what I mean? Right? So it's essentially just
recreating a frame with that person here instead of here. And
in the next frame here, he's no longer there. There's a complex
atomic theory within the theologian Muslim theologians have
discussed this, like rozalia and so on, that basically, every,
every being every body, every substance in the world is made up
of atoms, right? It's made up of atoms JOA here, they call them
atoms. No single atom at the lowest level, which we're probably
still trying to discover what that lowest level of an atom is.
Because initially, they said it was protons, neutrons, neurons and
so on. So case, and then they've gone down to quarks and they can
still go down further. So whatever that is,
they do not remain for more than one moment, when nano moment or
whatever it is. There's a new, there is a new creation of that.
So it actually regenerates itself. So essentially, in one generation
of it, it's there. In the next frame. It's not there, it's there.
And that's the only way now I don't know if that's humanly
possible to do anymore. Right? Maybe somebody you know
teleportation you call that? Right. That's concept of
teleportation. Allah knows best. Anyway, let's not belabor that.
You guys don't seem to be into engineering. So what are you guys
into? Was it medical here?
What are your becoming?
Humans.
What's the main thing here? You don't know. What's the main thing
here?
Health Sciences. So that's a good thing. hamdulillah
everything except engineering.
Okay. hamdulillah Allah give you a success.
When now he's got the short amount of time he says disfigure
He says, disguise this throne like change it around a bit, change
around bit. So immediately they do that.
Then she comes up. And
when she comes the question that he asks her immediately is, is
this your throne
and he wants to test her. And the reason he wants to test her is
there is some conspiracy here. Right? The conspiracy here is that
the gym that used to work for him and he had them subjugated and
they used to work everyday for him. They didn't want him to marry
her. They knew she was very beautiful. And they had a fear
that he would marry her. And if he did, then they would even after
his death, they would remain subjugated on the human beings,
because remember, there's that story about her mother being a
gem.
Okay, her mother being a gym, so they said that she has
she is not very intelligent. Like she is not very intelligent. Let's
keep it at that right.
And number two,
she has hairy legs and one is like that of a goat.
Right
something weird like that. They made up some story just to kind of
put him off
so he says not karula Arsha number a daddy under Khun undocumented
Latina lietaer Don't change this. disguise it a bit then we can see
whether she figures it out or whether she's of those who are
misguided about this. He wanted to test her intelligence further
manager at a Hanukkah are shook. So when she does arrive, is this
your throne? And look at her answer.
Now slim under Islam is trying to give her a better she's tests he's
not going for what people say about women, or the woman rather
than the queen. He wants to test himself.
Her response is a beautiful response. And now who knows if you
understand Arabic, that is a wonderful expression in Arabic is
God and know who who it is as though it is it?
As though it is it? So she didn't say yes. She didn't say no. If she
said yes. If she said no. Then there's one thing or the other.
She's maybe being too bold or maybe she just doesn't know but he
says it's as though it isn't what oh Tina album in Copley, hakuna
Muslimeen was not the hamaca terrible don't mean don't inhaca
Melkonian caffeine, anyway, carries on.
Now she's obviously wondering, I locked it. It was under lock and
key. How is it possible? It could have come here with no war? With
no opening with nothing? How is it possible, but it does look like
mine? Yes, it looks a bit different. Different anyway, then
what Soleimani Salam did another test for her. And this test was he
had this entire palace made of, of glass. He had a palace made out of
glass, the floor of it was glass, there was water under that glass.
So essentially, it was water, like a stream with glass over it. And
maybe she'd never seen glass Allahu Ana, because that's where
it seems. Now the reason he did this was she couldn't do it. Can I
see your legs please? Right. He couldn't obviously say that. So
this was one way of discuss discovering whether what the Djinn
are saying is true or not. So as they come as she comes along, and
so they won't be sitting inside on a throne or whatever he is sitting
on. And
she lifts up her lower garment skirt, or whatever she was
wearing. So that her feet she thought has about her logia she
thought it was water that she had to enter to get to him. So she
would have to wade through water. So what she did was she picked up
her skirt slightly so that it doesn't get wet. And as soon as
that happened sitting on ice and figured out that it is not what
they're saying she was it was that? Yes, she had some hair, it
says in some, but he figured out how to get rid and they said
that's how they again, these traditions are not mentioned in
the Quran, right? They mentioned some sources. Allah knows their
best, but that was when the depilatory cream was invented.
Because he asked some of his ministers or whatever, he's got
hairy legs. How do we get rid of that? Right? So he came up with
this note or they call it right this is
anyway, I said you got some really crazy things mentioned in those
narration there is not in the Quran. The Quran avoids that
point. The Quran just speaks about the Glass Palace. And the fact
that she did reveal her feet. It does say that and then after that,
she she came in
Then what happens is
de la Cali sir, as Allah says, This is what Allah says in the
Quran. This is as much as we got Yochanan enter into the palace.
Fela Mara to when she saw it, Hacienda Toluca, she thought that
this was water what Kashia had to answer her. And she revealed a
part of her shins, called the inner Husar humara domain cover
read that no, this is something that is made of glass. This is a
Glass Palace, Carla Turabian. Now she now this is also something for
her that she is not as great as she would think she is. So she
recognizes her ignorance that if I'm ignorant of what water looks
like, and what glass looks like, then I'm also ignorant of Allah.
So if I can be so ignorant and avail put between me and the water
thinking that it is only water and there's no glass on top of it,
then it must also mean that what he's calling towards is right, her
heart was prepared. Essentially, you have to prepare somebody's
heart to give them Darrow. Right, because otherwise it is difficult.
They can be obstinate and arrogant and they will not take it. But she
was ready it seems so she comes and she says, Rob be in need for
them to enough see, I have been oppressing myself what a slum to
masala Amana lillahi, Rabbil Alameen. And I have now succumb to
Allah subhanho wa taala, which today might not so I have
submitted, I have become a Muslim. So she becomes a Muslim, then
there's lots of discussion as to there's one opinion some
traditions say that he sort of managed on did marry her. And but
she used to and then he kept her where she was to rule those areas.
He would go there once a month for two or three days, he would go and
visit her because he had the winds at his disposal, he would go
there, then come back. He had number of other wives anyway, it's
very famous about a number of wives that he had
other opinions or that no, she, he didn't want he didn't marry her.
But he asked her who do you want to marry? And she said, I don't
want to marry anybody. He says no, in Islam, you must marry you know
in the in the submission to Allah You must marry it's part of life
that you must do that. So then she agreed with to somebody and then
married her Allah knows best. But Allah doesn't mention that in the
Quran as to who she married, all we know is that she became Muslim.
Now, again, I want to just finish this off with with one point is
that when you look at the stories of Pharaoh of karoun, Pharaoh was
obviously destroyed, his whole army was destroyed. And he what he
survived in body is in is in Cairo right now. Right? Then you've got
karoun Qarun went through a subterranean collapse and he was
sunk into the ground. Then you've got nonroad, who eventually died
from one mosquito bother going into his nostril and then
bothering him and make him crazy for so many months after his
debate with Ibrahim alayhis salam.
However, when it comes to those are not very happy endings.
Likewise, Abuja Hall is not a very happy ending. This ending is more
like our Amara, the alone ending and you have Amara, the Alon, he
also goes out to kill us of the Prophet Solomon had made a DUA,
this these two enemies, they're very bold enemies Abuja Al Hussein
was, whose name was Omer, whose name was
SubhanAllah. Just forget, he was born in Qatar, and I'm Ruben
Hisham. He says, Oh Allah, Allah, the Prophet Allah has made it Oh,
Allah strengthened his Deen by one of the two armors because he knew
that if they came in, then Islam would, it will really help the
faith. So Allah subhanho wa Taala chose Omar the Allah one, though
he went out that day to kill the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he was
he took a detour to his sister's house. After being informed he
beat her up and you know the story, it's after finally seeing
her in that state of blood and everything. He felt a bit of
remorse said okay, let me see what you've been reading of the Quran.
And that's when Islam entered his heart fully. Right? So this story
ends like that, that you've got this person with all of this might
people willing to help her forces willing to help her but then she
comes to the truth. Now, there are two verses in the Quran in surah.
Two Tarim amazing what Allah subhanaw taala does Allah subhanaw
taala provides two examples in the Quran, one of somebody whose faith
is very strong, and one who is kufr is very strong. So he's got
two examples. And Allah says these are examples Dorabella who
methylene Dorabella who method in Arabic means provide an example a
sample? So Allah says dot Allahu methylene
Dorabella Martha Lavina I know what's after that.
Yes, Imran Altenew and imbricata loot. Allah subhanaw taala
Dorabella Murthy, Lilina Cafaro Murata, New Haven Murata, Lutz,
right Dorabella who method Athena Cafaro Murata New Haven rotta loot
Canada Tata Aberdeen imaginary bernadina Solly Haney for HANA
Tahoma
Hello I'm Johan here and who I mean Allah he she was the lead
hola Nara Magda hidden. One example around. Remember Allah is
providing an example of the intensity of somebody's faith. And
Allah is providing the in
an example of the intensity of somebody's cover of disbelief,
both examples that he provides of women, both for this extreme and
that extreme. And
basically, he says, Allah provides an example for those who
disbelieve the wife of new and the wife of loot or a masala, that
though they were in the homes of some of the most pious people of
the time prophets, revelations coming to them Gibreel is coming
to them, they still chose to disbelieve. So they, they lost
everything, and they were told to enter into the hellfire. That's
one example he provides. Now, you know, people they complain today
that, oh, my surrounding is not good for me. I don't have the
right environment. These people had the best environment, but they
chose to disbelieve because that's the intensity of their disbelief.
Then Allah provides the example of Allah within Medina and the fear
own is called a troublingly in the cabanes. And Phil Jana, when a
genuine fan or when a genuine are committed or demean, and Allah
then provides an example of those who believe have beneath the wife
of Pharaoh, the total antithesis to a prophet, someone who is to
call himself God. So what kind of an environment was she living in
his wife, Cofer, complete gofer. But she converts, she, she
believes in Musa alayhis salam, and she asks Allah and she's
persecuted by Pharaoh, Pharaoh drove nails into her hands to try
to make her recant. But no, she kept at it. She kept her and she
her prayer to Allah was, oh, Allah. Give me a place in Jannah.
Give me a place in Jana. Build me a place in Jana and, and give me
delivery from these people. So the wonderful thing that you hear is
this positive example, positive example in the Quran of a woman,
unlike those other kings, you have this queen who ends up in the
right way. I think that's really important. That's really important
that there's a lot of value for women in women. In fact, this is
something that I mentioned yesterday. This is something I
think I mentioned yesterday, that Hotjar Alayhis Salam Ibrahim is on
second wave was.
Recently she has been, she has been kind of claimed by the modern
feminists, that she found this amazing woman who's left alone in
the desert, that she goes and looks for this water and
everything else, and she suddenly become an icon for them. Besides
all of that, Islam is the only religion. Islam is the only
religion that has a very, very important right, attached to a
woman. There's no none of the other major rights. If you look at
any of the major rights that Christians and Jews and Muslims do
in general, they're all related to men if they're related to anything
related to men, this saint and that st and distant other, but in
Islam, we have one right as the Prophet sallallahu sallam said,
because she did sorry, because she ran between Safa and Marwa looking
for water for her child is mine, Ali salaam, the province of Assam
said, now people will do Sati like this in emulation of her, that's
the only right that you will find in any religion of these major
religions that is linked to a woman and that's a celebration of
100 Alia salaam, may Allah subhanaw taala give us an
understanding of the story and allow us to benefit from its
lessons. Lessons that power doesn't have to corrupt power
doesn't have to blind while power generally does blind you like it
did with the pharaon Corona and Hava and so on. But in this case
it didn't have to blind you. And we have a great story. May Allah
subhanaw taala accept us for the service of his deen and May Allah
guide us right to work with that one on Al Hamdulillah
