Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa salatu wa salam O

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

Allah say you didn't mursaleen while early he was off behind

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

Obamacare was seldom at the Sleeman cathedral Ilario Medina,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

Amma Bharat Alhamdulillah after spending a few days in this

00:00:13 --> 00:00:18

blessed place will inshallah appreciate it more Inshallah, and

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

I'm going to continue to discuss how people have venerated and

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

respected this place

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

over the centuries, inshallah we're going to start from the

00:00:27 --> 00:00:31

sahaba. Last time in our last session, we discussed the prophets

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

and how they came here. And I wanted to mention that, you know,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

when we were on Mount zaytoun, on the mountain of olives, and we

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

looked down at the entire area, from the beginning, from this

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

place, to the entire other end. And we should have imagined

00:00:45 --> 00:00:51

124,000 prophets all here, approximately 124,000 Imagine an

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

awesome site with Rasulullah sallallahu at the front, and all

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58

of the prophets. So now today we speak about Sahaba. And then a

00:00:58 --> 00:01:03

number of pious individuals following him following the Sahaba

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

the one of the things that make this play so important, aside from

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

the fact that the salsa lesson spoke about is the fact that

00:01:09 --> 00:01:15

Mirage, Mirage is an ascension. Mirage is when the ascension when

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

the prophets Allah son went up to the heavens, that's from Makkah to

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

here, and then up, that's what makes this place a very important

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

place for a lot of people they think that if they come here,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

inshallah they'll get closer to Allah subhanaw taala because the

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

prophets are awesome also came through here. So this because this

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

was a stop on the ascension routes, it makes it even more

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

important in that sense, of course, promises and probably came

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

here because of the significance of this place from before this

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

place was significant before Sudha Lhasa Lawson came here, he's

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

coming here and the prophets coming here only makes it more

00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

important. Lots of Sufis and others have been just dazzled at

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

this place, coming here and trying to find Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

that's why the other day mashallah we managed to get to the place on

00:01:57 --> 00:02:02

top of the Golden Gate, where Imam Ghazali Rahmatullah here today was

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06

supposed to have spent eight to 10 years writing his book that he or

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11

only Dean is up there, I went up there and made some dogs that

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

Allah give us that Tofik as well to do some work, you have put a

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

hammer in his margin, we will done he considers this place to be the

00:02:19 --> 00:02:24

closest you mentioned that one of the reasons for this place being

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

so significant that it's the closest place between the heavens

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

and the earth. Among the Sahaba, the for most of the Sahaba, who

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

visited the Uber kind of the Allahu Anhu didn't come here, but

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

the Amara, the Allahu Anhu did, and that's well documented. This

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

is the second Khalifa Omar Abdullah hottub, or the Allah one,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:45

because he's the one who was invited by Sephora, his name was

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

Sophronius. So Fronius was the patriarch of Jerusalem at the

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

time, after the Muslims had besieged the city. Because he was

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

under the Roman it was under the Romans, after he'd besieged the

00:02:55 --> 00:03:00

city for a number of weeks and months. They eventually said,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

Okay, if we're going to hand anything over, we want to hand it

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

to your Hadith to your leader. So I'm one of the Alon came,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

especially for that journey. And that was the Fronius, the

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

patriarch of Jerusalem, and Amara, the Alon at that time gave rights

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

to the churches, and that's why generally under Muslim rule, what

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

you have is you leave the people of their religion generally the

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

Christians and Jews you leave them as they are, you leave them as

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

they are in terms of their churches, and so on. The biggest

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

example is in Jerusalem, where Omar the Alon refused to pray in

00:03:29 --> 00:03:33

the in the church itself, but trade outside.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:39

Number two, after Omar Abdullah Hata Radi Allahu Anhu Abu Zubaydah

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

YBNL Jarrah,

00:03:41 --> 00:03:46

although he came before, and he died in 18, Hijiri, while Amarrian

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

died in 23, Hijiri but I will obey the Ignore Jarrah was the

00:03:50 --> 00:03:55

commander of the armies for this area, and he died while he was on

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

his way here to visit it the second time, and he wanted to pray

00:03:58 --> 00:04:03

in the OXA and he was he's been, he is buried to the west of the

00:04:04 --> 00:04:08

river Jordan. Yesterday, we saw that River Jordan, where you shall

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

be known came through, so he is buried somewhere there. Then

00:04:13 --> 00:04:17

number three, we have Bilal ignorable

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

Bilal Radi Allahu Anhu Billa are the Allahu Anhu the prophets was

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

in he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he visited Jerusalem. And he made

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

they say that the first time he made his Athan after

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

his ovens in Madina, Munawwara he, after the person passed away, he

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

left for Sham. He was in Syria, that's where he's buried in

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

Damascus. And he refused to give alone again, there is this weak

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

Hadith which says that one day he saw the Prophet sallallahu in his

00:04:43 --> 00:04:48

dream, and the Prophet sallallahu sallam said Maha Jaffa Bilal, why

00:04:48 --> 00:04:51

are you so estranged from us? Why don't you come to Madina?

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

Munawwara he couldn't bear it.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

He just couldn't bear the fact that the prophesy Lawson wasn't

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

there so he just left but then we need to

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

saw the promise of him in his dream. As soon as he saw him in

00:05:02 --> 00:05:06

his dream, he just set off for Madina Munawwara because he just

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

went right to Madina, Munawwara and he said that when he got

00:05:08 --> 00:05:12

there, everybody's telling him to do as well, but he's refusing.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

Eventually they told Hassan and Hussein or the Allahu Anhu to go

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

and request his him to do a thumb, he couldn't refuse them. So then

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

when he started giving a run, in Madina, Munawwara the women came

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

out into the streets, they thought Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is

00:05:25 --> 00:05:30

back because they used to connect his Iran to the Prophet salallahu

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

Alaihe Salam being in Madina Munawwara so apparently that's

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

there is a Hadith about that, but he says that the first exam that

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

he gave after being in Madina, Munawwara was here in Jerusalem.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

It was time for though her prayer following the conquest of the

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

city. So this was with Omar Abdullah dobre the Allahu Anhu and

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

Omar the Allah and then requested bill out of the hands give the

00:05:51 --> 00:05:51

Athan here.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

Then others that you have who visited here, of course, Khalid

00:05:56 --> 00:06:00

bin Walid, Radi Allahu Anhu died in 2001 HD, and ye Z it'd be

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03

Soufiane, Abu Sufyan, Sonya Z Margarita, the Allah and his

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

brother. He died an 18th century he also came here. Then of course

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

more ARIA really Allah one ignobly Sophia and who died in 60 Hijiri

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

much, much later, he received his beta for Khilafah here

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

because he was in Sharm. He was the governor of Damascus anyway,

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

so he received his beta here.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:26

Then you have some of the other greatest ones be walked us through

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

the Allah one he came here and he entered into a haram Pro from here

00:06:30 --> 00:06:35

and then he went for to Mocha, mocha Rama. Others came. There's

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

many others that came with an intention to perform Hajj. They

00:06:39 --> 00:06:43

started with a visit to Jerusalem, a haram and then they went to

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

Makkah. And they did this of course because of the Hadith

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

that's related by Imam Abu doed. He Who begins his Hajj or Umrah

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

from the Aqsa mosque to the Makkah mosque will be forgiven his

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

previous sins.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

So Abdullah Hypno Ahmadi Allahu Anhu then came to Jerusalem and

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

start to this Amara here. He said to come into Jew he is said to

00:07:02 --> 00:07:07

have come into Jerusalem for the fajr prayer, and then he sat in

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10

the masjid for a while. And then when the sun rose he shocked him.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

Then he rose to pray together with his companions so they prayed a

00:07:13 --> 00:07:17

shock and then after that, they went on to the animals, the

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

amounts and then they set off

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

Mashallah.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

That's why I said that I have a classmate in from Preston who

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

comes here twice a year. And in one of them he goes from raw from

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

here and they put their home on and they love bake Allah Humala

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

bake through the Old City mashallah

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

Abdullah him not Abbas also Rhodiola one also visited

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

Jerusalem. He also started his pilgrimage to Makkah from here and

00:07:42 --> 00:07:42

he was in winter.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:48

Then Sufi been to hurry Radi Allahu anha. She was the wife who

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

became Muslim, after being the leader of the Jewish after being

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

the daughter of the Jewish leader, create and she was the wife of

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, she is also said to have come to

00:07:59 --> 00:08:03

Jerusalem, and I believe it was Mount olives that she claimed

00:08:03 --> 00:08:08

upon. And then she she she, it's reported that she said from here

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

people will pot company from one another on the day of judgment and

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

we like to go to Jana to jahannam. So, she's stood on that mount

00:08:15 --> 00:08:20

olives and she, this is what she said. Another great Sahabi to have

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

come here was Abu Dhabi, Loc 30 Radi Allahu Anhu and more Ibnu

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

Jebel. Now these are we taking the names of some of the greatest of

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

the Sahaba here about obey the ignorant Jarrah Saturday, be more

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

honest, even a gerbil a Buddha devotee believe not to be Raja

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

Abdullah Hypno Salam also, he came here he was the Jewish rabbi would

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

become Muslim.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:45

Abu Huraira, the Allah Juan, he also came here, Oba IGNOU summit

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

not only came here and stayed here, he passed away here so his

00:08:47 --> 00:08:52

grave is there, behind that Golden Gate in Baba Rama and also shut

00:08:52 --> 00:08:56

down the house or the Allah one. And Tammy Midori, they all came

00:08:56 --> 00:09:00

here. With her. He faded and stayed in Jerusalem for some time

00:09:00 --> 00:09:04

doing a brother here. Another famous one more of them knew Jebel

00:09:04 --> 00:09:08

Al Ansari, he came to Jerusalem and he spent here three days in

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

fasting and in salats. And on his departure, he turned to his

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

companions and he said, As for your previous sins, you have been

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

forgiven, reflect now on what you will do for the remaining parts of

00:09:17 --> 00:09:21

your life. So clearly, they all came here for a reason. And

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

clearly there's a reason why the Muslims here have mashallah the

00:09:25 --> 00:09:29

strength that they do to keep the place and enliven the place and

00:09:29 --> 00:09:33

preserve the place. A number of Sahaba are buried here now.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

Because they came here today of course they passed away here one

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

is Oba in Assam it really Allah one which I mentioned. He was a

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

great dignitary and a witness to the first and second

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

tax of Acaba. He was also present in the Battle of Buddha and all

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

the other battles of the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

wasallam Ahmed Abdullah Cadabra, the Allahu Anhu appointed him as

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

the Khadi and the preacher of the sham of the greater livan

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

In greater Syria, and he was also then made a copy of Palestine, and

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

then of Jerusalem in particular.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

He died in Rommel he died in Ramallah. But he was buried in

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

Jerusalem in that graveyard that I mentioned, shut down the Blue

00:10:14 --> 00:10:19

House alongside his grave is also there, and others who are reported

00:10:19 --> 00:10:25

to be buried here, ah wa ala YBNL UScar are the Allahu anhu, maybe

00:10:25 --> 00:10:29

slightly less known to some of you, but he is generally mentioned

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

the Hadith and so on. He died in 83 Hijiri and the

00:10:34 --> 00:10:39

S bar at Tamimi very unknown and the Yemeni Prince of persian

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

origin. Who knows who that is Pharaohs at daily me are the hola

00:10:43 --> 00:10:47

Juan, he died in 5053 Hijiri. So you've got a few Sahaba that are

00:10:47 --> 00:10:52

buried here as well. Now beyond that, there's a huge list. And I

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

don't want to make it boring for you, because it's just a big list.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

But I'll mention some of the very prominent one and tell you

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

something about them, which tells you who they are. And when you

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

understand who they are, then you understand the things that they do

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

and what the significance is of those things. So first and

00:11:07 --> 00:11:11

foremost, if you look at the top 18 After the Sahaba, the famous

00:11:11 --> 00:11:19

jurist and fucky Abdul Rahman Al Ozeri, who died in 157. He says

00:11:19 --> 00:11:24

that cabeza Ignacio ape, cabeza Ignacio ape who died in 86 Hijiri

00:11:24 --> 00:11:29

and Abdullah Abdullah Mohammed is another famous one who died in

00:11:29 --> 00:11:33

around 100 Hijiri. And honey iblue Kulsoom. Again, 100 history

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

history would occasionally come from Ramallah to Jerusalem, for

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

the performance of ritual prayers. So they stayed in Ramallah but

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

they would come here. Jerusalem was also visited by somebody named

00:11:43 --> 00:11:49

Mohammed Abu they thought for him a hula. He died in 116th. He was

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

the jurist and the judge of Kufa famous name heard it even though

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

they thought another one was Mohammad Nawaz from bussola who

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

died in 127.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:04

Then we visited this McLamb yesterday Robbia al Basilea.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

Either we're either we're is her family is her family name, and

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11

Basilea is because she's from Missouri. She is one of the most

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

famous of the women ascetics. Her story is very interesting. There's

00:12:15 --> 00:12:19

a lot of controversy about her story. And so I'm just going to

00:12:19 --> 00:12:22

mention a few parts that are known according to ignore Halligan

00:12:22 --> 00:12:28

ignore Holika. Holika is a famous historian, famous historian. He

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

says that she was she's been one of the most distinguished figures

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

of her time, she came from a very poor family. When she grew up and

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

her father died. Her father passed away.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:44

She was still a in her youth when her father passed away. And

00:12:45 --> 00:12:50

a drought struck bizarro, there was a drought in Basra and Robbia

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

Rahima Hala, with her three sisters, they had to leave their

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

home and they wandered around aimlessly looking for something,

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

she was captured by a man. Now in those days, people would capture

00:13:01 --> 00:13:05

people and make them into slaves. Hamdulillah we don't have it in

00:13:05 --> 00:13:11

the same way today. But he made her into a slave and sold her to

00:13:11 --> 00:13:15

another man. This other person overburdened her with work used to

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

just give her lots and lots of work to do now what is she going

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

to do? You know?

00:13:20 --> 00:13:24

However, I thought he gives the following account of how

00:13:25 --> 00:13:29

Robbie Al Basri a spiritual message how she became really

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

righteous and pious. One day when she saw a man costing evil looks

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

at her.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

She fled along the road to Syria.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

Now, if you understand that Jerusalem is in the greater part

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44

of Sharm when you say Syria, I mean Sharm in general. I mean,

00:13:44 --> 00:13:51

here in the land, the precincts of which we have blessed Baraka Hola.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56

So on this road, when she fled, she had this

00:13:57 --> 00:14:02

ill hum, you can say she had an ill hum, a silent communication in

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

a sense.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

And she asked Allah, are you pleased with me?

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

Now this is what's reported. Are you pleased with me? So then she

00:14:10 --> 00:14:13

heard a voice saying, Don't be grieved for on the Day of

00:14:13 --> 00:14:18

Judgment, the favorite people in Jannah will look upon you and envy

00:14:18 --> 00:14:18

you.

00:14:20 --> 00:14:23

They will look upon you and mashallah they will envy you.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

She came back to her masters home.

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

And she spent

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

now after that she spent the nights in prayer. When her master

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

saw how pious she was. He set her free. Then she just completely

00:14:37 --> 00:14:42

dedicated herself to worship and devotion, spending her entire life

00:14:42 --> 00:14:47

in continuous worship. That's why she became so famous. She made her

00:14:47 --> 00:14:50

way to Jerusalem them where she is they say she spent the rest of her

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

life and this is where she died. Her grave is supposed to be

00:14:54 --> 00:14:59

outside of Jerusalem at the top of the mount olives mountain. Well

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

known

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

That's why she harbored DNL McAleese. He says that people

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

visit the grave in his time.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

According to another author,

00:15:09 --> 00:15:14

her grave is on the peak of Mount olives to the east of Jerusalem.

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

I'm just explaining this so you understand other significance

00:15:17 --> 00:15:21

you've already visited it, or at least outside, near the place from

00:15:21 --> 00:15:25

where Eastside is ascended to the heavens. It is to the south, in a

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

cloister to which people come down by means of a staircase. So it

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

looks like people knew about this from before. And of course, these

00:15:31 --> 00:15:34

things might have changed a bit in terms of how you get there, and so

00:15:34 --> 00:15:38

on. It says that when she was about to die, a large number of

00:15:38 --> 00:15:39

pious people

00:15:40 --> 00:15:45

came around, were around her. And then she said, Get up and go

00:15:45 --> 00:15:49

leave. All of you leave, leave the royal road open to the messengers

00:15:49 --> 00:15:54

of Almighty Allah, meaning, the angels leave the road open for the

00:15:54 --> 00:15:59

angels. They all left, and they shut the door. Then they heard the

00:15:59 --> 00:16:03

voice of Robbia reciting the shahada, Shadow Allah ilaha

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

illallah wa shadow under Muhammad Rasool Allah. And after she had

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

breathed her last, these divine devout people gathered again

00:16:10 --> 00:16:14

around her, they bathe her and did the funeral pray on her. And then

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

they in turned her into a final about similar with Hassanal,

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

bursary and what have not disease, Omar Abdulaziz it says that he

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

told his wife to leave. And then he suddenly started saying, what

00:16:26 --> 00:16:29

are all these faces around me? These are faces of people I don't

00:16:29 --> 00:16:32

recognize. And then he told everybody to go out. And then

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

after that, he died very peacefully. And then he mentions

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

actually, if no, Josie mentioned this I, I had heard this in a

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

lecture before from somewhere when they buried him and they put the

00:16:42 --> 00:16:48

soil on him and covered the grave. I heard this in a lecture once a

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

piece of paper fluttered down like this and rested on the grave and

00:16:51 --> 00:16:55

when they looked at it, it said Bara to mean Allah and Yama Dibner

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

Abdulaziz.

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

There's exoneration and freedom for from Allah for Omar Abdulaziz.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

Now, I'd heard that and it impacted me a lot, but I didn't

00:17:05 --> 00:17:08

want to relate it to anybody because I didn't know the source.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

But then, if no Josie has mentioned this, if not Josie, the

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

great humbly scholar boarded an amazing scholar, one of my

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

favorite scholars about that is very particular about what he

00:17:18 --> 00:17:22

relates. So he relates this point that yes, there was this paper

00:17:22 --> 00:17:26

that was seen after his death. And this is what was said about it. So

00:17:26 --> 00:17:30

these are Bashara. This is called Bashara. One of the reasons for

00:17:30 --> 00:17:33

these Basharat, these glad tidings you know, when people die, and

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

then somebody sees them in a dream. Some people may take this

00:17:36 --> 00:17:39

lightly and dismiss it and say, Oh, this is just all made up. I

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

mean, you can't deny somebody's experience. If you've had a dream.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:45

I don't need to believe you. But I can't deny that you've had the

00:17:45 --> 00:17:48

dream. Because dreams are an absolute possibility. If you can

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

see even in your dream, you can see good in your dream. And if you

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

see good about somebody hamdulillah but you can't go with

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

your dream and start imposing it on people. But you can mashallah

00:17:57 --> 00:18:02

feel good about it. And there will be more Bashira they will be glad

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

tidings that are given for people this is the way of Allah subhanaw

00:18:05 --> 00:18:05

taala.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

Another person that I want to speak about that came here was

00:18:10 --> 00:18:16

Ibrahim IGNOU, Adham another great one of the accepted zoo herdsa. He

00:18:16 --> 00:18:20

dean of the past aesthetics of the past. He died in 162 Hijiri.

00:18:22 --> 00:18:26

He was amazing. You know where he came from? It came from bulk. Bulk

00:18:26 --> 00:18:30

today is in Afghanistan. Right? The Persian speaking area, it's

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

about three hours away from aramith and 10. Mr. Day is in

00:18:33 --> 00:18:38

Uzbekistan. So this is bulk, close to Uzbekistan. It's Hora Hassan

00:18:38 --> 00:18:42

area in general or Morocco now just in the border of that he came

00:18:42 --> 00:18:46

from bulk and he was of royal lineage. He was of a royal family.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:52

And he was enjoying life, as a royal person would do as a prince,

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

you know, enjoying life with all the money at your disposal to do

00:18:55 --> 00:18:59

whatever you want. Once he went out hunting, hunting is the

00:18:59 --> 00:19:04

pastime of the rich hunting and golf. And parrot non Imperator

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

Eagle. Would you call it?

00:19:07 --> 00:19:11

Would you call it bird hunting as the some of these people do?

00:19:11 --> 00:19:16

Right? These are expensive sports. So hunting and an invisible he

00:19:16 --> 00:19:17

heard an invisible

00:19:18 --> 00:19:23

caller? waking him out of his heedlessness. What is this

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

gauntlet you're in? He heard something he heard a voice that

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

Allah sends message to different people through different ways.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:32

Some people Allah teaches them through an accident. Some people

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

are just like Allah Allah teaches them through the death of a close

00:19:34 --> 00:19:38

loved one. Some people Allah teaches through a beyond a dream

00:19:38 --> 00:19:44

different ways. He was wakened up our woken up by a voice that took

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

him out of that. So he abandoned his way of life. Many of us get

00:19:48 --> 00:19:53

messages. Many of us get messages, but we don't listen to them. We

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

ignore them.

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

And then when we ignore them, they don't come enough. Unless there's

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

a Allah sends a powerful

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

message. So this was a powerful message. And that's in Hollis

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

after he became one of the most pious people. So today, he is one

00:20:06 --> 00:20:11

of the most accepted Sufis of the early times 162. He, in fact, they

00:20:11 --> 00:20:15

call him Azhar head. This is before Sufism was developed, even

00:20:15 --> 00:20:18

though he's like one of the masters of the early masters, he

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

abandoned everything and then he made his way to Makkah,

00:20:20 --> 00:20:24

accompanied by Sofia and authority and for the Illuminati out. So if

00:20:24 --> 00:20:27

you ever thought he was great, but had this before, they don't know

00:20:27 --> 00:20:32

he also had a strange beginning he was a highway robber. And he was

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

so dangerous that people would be frightened to go through his area

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

because Hollis they would, they would be problems he would,

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

highway man. However, he was infatuated with a woman.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

This is long story, but he was infatuated with a woman. And one

00:20:47 --> 00:20:52

day he he is a verse LM yet Nene Latina and Dasha Kulu boom

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

livecareer LA, Mama Anissa liminal. Huck, what are your Cuca

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

Ladino toolkit album in Kabul for talaria. Human Ahmed

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

has in the time come for the people who who have belief, like

00:21:04 --> 00:21:08

many of us have belief, but their hearts are not there yet. The gist

00:21:08 --> 00:21:12

of the verse and he just walked out of it. And then he became

00:21:12 --> 00:21:16

known as Badal Haramain. The worshiper and the devotee of the

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

two hums, that's how much he began to worship.

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

That's how much he went to the high domain and he worshipped so

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

much that he beat his title was because he's just the worshiper in

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

the two Harlem's RBL domain. So

00:21:29 --> 00:21:34

he went, he ended up in Jerusalem, where he slept habitually besides

00:21:34 --> 00:21:34

the rock.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

The rock holds a lot of significance for a lot of people,

00:21:38 --> 00:21:39

it seems because

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

that was the first building that was made he even before this

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

masjid, the rock.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:48

So I mean, in the masjid was started, but that was the main

00:21:48 --> 00:21:52

building that was made in that way, in that large way, maybe to

00:21:52 --> 00:21:55

outshine the temples or whatever the case is, you know, so big.

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

Because if you only had the church and then you had this big

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

structure in this beautiful octagonal way, the compact of

00:22:01 --> 00:22:01

Sahara.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

Anyway, one day while he was leaving the city, there's a very

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

interesting story. While he was leaving the city one day,

00:22:09 --> 00:22:13

he passed by a group of armed troops. I'm sure you know how that

00:22:13 --> 00:22:19

feels now. Right. He passed by troops. They asked him, What is

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

the question they asked him?

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

Not Are you muslim?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:29

Right. Now, are you muslim? I asked him, Are you a slave?

00:22:29 --> 00:22:32

Because in those days, you know, worried about slaves running away.

00:22:32 --> 00:22:35

They have slaves, unfortunately. Right. So are you a slave? He

00:22:35 --> 00:22:40

answered, Yes. free man. Yes. He was a prince. He says, Are you sad

00:22:40 --> 00:22:45

said yes, I'm a slave. And then they said a runaway slave. So he

00:22:45 --> 00:22:46

said, Yes.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

So they grabbed him and put him in prison.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

When the people in Jerusalem found out about this, they all went

00:22:56 --> 00:23:00

together to the governor of Tiberius to ask for his release.

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

The governor summoned him

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

and asked him, Why were you imprisoned?

00:23:07 --> 00:23:11

So he said, I don't know ask the armed troops. They imprison me so

00:23:11 --> 00:23:16

ask them so he replied. They in turn said you're a runaway slave.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

That's why he imprisoned you. Is it true? That is very true. I am

00:23:20 --> 00:23:21

running away from my sins.

00:23:23 --> 00:23:25

Running so then he was released.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:31

Another person that came with Sofia on authority, Rahim Allah

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

who died in 161 hugely.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:39

He was a well known for Hadith, had the Santa Sofia and had that

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

Ana Sofia and you hear that in the Hadith books often.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:48

He was also known for his piety and his asceticism, he came to the

00:23:48 --> 00:23:52

Aqsa machine. We offered his Salat. And then he came, he went

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

to the Cooper to Sahara and he finished an entire Kuranda.

00:23:58 --> 00:24:02

Al Walid Ibn no Muslim what he did no Muslim. He recounts how he met

00:24:02 --> 00:24:05

Sophia and authority in the masjid in Jerusalem. And he asked Sofia

00:24:05 --> 00:24:09

on whether he had visited the Dome of the Rock in Sofia and said yes,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:13

I visited and I've read the entire Quran. So I think they used to do

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

probably less tourism, and more coming here and just focus.

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

Lathe of Mossad, you've heard of Latham Mossad, another great

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

Hadith.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:28

He was one of the most He in fact, he's called the Alim of Egypt.

00:24:30 --> 00:24:33

Oza e that I mentioned earlier, he was the name of Syria. These were

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

the few individuals tabi who are known to be the biggest scholars

00:24:37 --> 00:24:41

of their area. So for Sharm, it was Ozeri. Latham Assad was the

00:24:41 --> 00:24:45

scholar. He's the acronym of Mr. of Egypt. There was a contemporary

00:24:45 --> 00:24:50

of Imam Malik. He died in 175 Hijiri in my family, Dayton 179

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

Hijiri. So they were contemporaries.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:59

And he was said that he was so open handed that no year of his

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

Life ever passed without him being in debt. He went to Jerusalem came

00:25:04 --> 00:25:08

to Jerusalem during his stay there. Cleveland monsoon visited

00:25:08 --> 00:25:11

the city. And upon meeting him, he said to him, I admire your

00:25:11 --> 00:25:15

strength of mind. And I thank Allah who has created people like

00:25:15 --> 00:25:19

you among my subjects. I'm honored to have you among my subjects,

00:25:19 --> 00:25:24

just as something when we last year when we visited us, Senegal,

00:25:25 --> 00:25:28

there's a big shake there who was always poor because he used to

00:25:29 --> 00:25:32

look after so many poor people. They used to receive so much

00:25:32 --> 00:25:35

money, but it's receiving the money and then giving it to the

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

poor all the people under there in order you've seen here now how

00:25:37 --> 00:25:40

many people there are in England, we don't understand this. But

00:25:40 --> 00:25:43

there's a lot of people here who will receive a lot of Imams and

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

that will receive a lot of money and then they just pass it on.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:49

They never have enough money for themselves. This they just passing

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

it through. However, one year, the sheikh Ibrahim nears his name was

00:25:53 --> 00:25:58

Rahim Allah Rahim Allah. He, he took some money, and he put it

00:25:58 --> 00:26:02

aside. And he said, they said, What are you doing? He said, I

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

want to pay zakat this year.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:09

I've never done Amel on zakat. I've never practiced as a cut. So

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

this year, I'm going to leave some money aside. So I'll have a nisab.

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

So I can place a card this year. That is how they used to raise the

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

cards. And we're trying to get out of the cut.

00:26:19 --> 00:26:23

You know, finding loopholes and things of that nature. They said

00:26:23 --> 00:26:24

what some people do is

00:26:27 --> 00:26:30

I don't want to say who but this is amendment who told me this,

00:26:30 --> 00:26:35

about some somebody. Anyway, he said the very wealthy. Now you

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

know, when you pay zakat, at the end of the year, only after a year

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

has passed. So the day before.

00:26:41 --> 00:26:44

He takes all of his money and he goes to his wife and he says

00:26:44 --> 00:26:47

you've been a very good wife all year. This is all Hadiya for you.

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

So the next day on his account, they no money.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:58

The next year when it's one year for her, she comes to a husband,

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

you've been a very good husband, but I'm gonna keep all the money.

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

I don't know if this is true or not, but this was making fun of

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

it.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

Now, the thing is that, although

00:27:10 --> 00:27:14

technically, they are treating this as a loophole, but it's

00:27:14 --> 00:27:18

clearly wrong. And at the end of the day we pay zakat because it's

00:27:18 --> 00:27:22

to purify our wealth. The God is to purify yourself and your

00:27:22 --> 00:27:26

wealth. If you try to if you try to do these loopholes that will

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

dirt is still going to be in your well there's a hadith and Muslim,

00:27:29 --> 00:27:34

which says that Zakat is the wasI homogenous, it's the dirt of the

00:27:34 --> 00:27:37

wealth of people. Now you understand the wisdom of why the

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

family of Rasulullah son cannot accept zakat.

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

That's why you can't give the cat to Masjid I want to use the dirt

00:27:43 --> 00:27:47

of your wealth. Because when we earn our living, we don't know

00:27:47 --> 00:27:50

where our money is coming from 100% Halal you know, the person

00:27:50 --> 00:27:53

who's giving it to us he may have got it from haram or maybe above

00:27:53 --> 00:27:57

that is haram and today, the whole industry is riba based so wealth,

00:27:57 --> 00:28:01

we don't know anything. So this is to 2.5% Clean it out, clean it

00:28:01 --> 00:28:06

out, clean it out. That's why Allah gave us a Tofik to quickly

00:28:06 --> 00:28:10

remove this, remove the cotterman. Otherwise it pollutes the rest. It

00:28:10 --> 00:28:14

says it pollutes the rest. If it keeps the cotton, not you don't

00:28:14 --> 00:28:18

pay zakat, that dirt, it spreads, and it pollutes everything else.

00:28:18 --> 00:28:22

So people who give zakat properly they get more Baraka, even if they

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

appear to have less.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:30

Then another great person was McCartan. Ignacio Lehmann. He died

00:28:30 --> 00:28:34

in 150 Hijiri, another Tabby and also a famous scholar and

00:28:34 --> 00:28:34

Muhaddith

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

he visited Jerusalem and he prayed here, he sat at the southern door

00:28:39 --> 00:28:43

of the rock, where many people from around him writing and

00:28:43 --> 00:28:46

listening to what he had said, you know, outside, there's how many 30

00:28:46 --> 00:28:51

Something platforms, the cement platforms, if you see them on your

00:28:51 --> 00:28:55

way, there are places where people used to teach, right that's you

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

know, like here you've got number of Deleuze going on. So likewise

00:28:58 --> 00:29:02

outside there were 30 Imam has already found that to be less he

00:29:02 --> 00:29:06

counted is at 3032 That's two less what's happened to people 30

00:29:06 --> 00:29:09

different classes going on Sajid

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

you've also noticed another thing Have you seen how people just

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

stand up whenever they want and they give a ban

00:29:17 --> 00:29:21

even before Joomla some just random guy will stand up and tell

00:29:21 --> 00:29:24

people what he thinks like if you if the story or whatever the case

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

is, this is very traditional. I've understood a lot after seeing this

00:29:28 --> 00:29:32

because in the in the books he mentioned that so and so was a

00:29:32 --> 00:29:37

wire if a preacher he used to give these stories in such in such a

00:29:37 --> 00:29:40

mosque and I wonder about this because in England is a very

00:29:40 --> 00:29:45

specific kind of system we have right? So here you can see how

00:29:46 --> 00:29:50

mashallah everything kind of goes and it works. Where you used to

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

Medina menorah, maca Mercado is tight control over everything. And

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

England were very tight control as well. Right? But here you just see

00:29:57 --> 00:30:00

mashallah anybody comes and says and some and some some

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

And then somebody benefits from these things from each person.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

If we move further down,

00:30:06 --> 00:30:12

then we have the known ol mystery. This is the known the famous Sufi

00:30:12 --> 00:30:13

of Mr. of Egypt.

00:30:15 --> 00:30:21

He died in 245 Hijiri. He was of Nubian descent.

00:30:22 --> 00:30:26

Nubian descent in Egypt means you're from the darker people

00:30:26 --> 00:30:30

African tribe there. He traveled from Egypt to Makkah, and then to

00:30:30 --> 00:30:34

Syria, on his way to Jerusalem. Imam Ghazali quotes him as saying,

00:30:34 --> 00:30:38

somewhere on the eastern coast, I met a woman and I asked her, where

00:30:38 --> 00:30:42

do you come from? She said, I come from the people whose backs

00:30:42 --> 00:30:47

forsake their beds. Where are you going? Now? I asked. Two men who

00:30:47 --> 00:30:51

are distracted from glorifying Allah, neither by business nor by

00:30:51 --> 00:30:55

sale, Regina Allah told him to Jarrah tune, wala urine and decree

00:30:55 --> 00:30:58

law what you call me salatu Ito is occur. Then when he came to

00:30:58 --> 00:31:02

Jerusalem, he he is He is quoted as saying on the rock of

00:31:02 --> 00:31:06

Jerusalem, I found the sinner estranged, the one obedient to God

00:31:06 --> 00:31:11

exhilarated and the frightened fleeing the hopeful entreating

00:31:11 --> 00:31:16

Allah and the contented, rich and the lower people submissive. So,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

so many Barakaat here.

00:31:19 --> 00:31:22

I think we'll stop here because I've done in a few minutes. If

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

anybody has any questions about anything
