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