initially did that he was never He wasn't ashamed, because actually,
he actually made it very clear that he wasn't in heat for a while
and secret parts of the Kaaba he would stay in the most public
space existing in Mecca, just to make it very clear that he had
nothing to hide and he wasn't he wasn't afraid that he just thought
it was a risky thing to do, but he did it. And he was sleeping there
Allianz tomatoes, lemon Gibney Ali Sam will come and you break them
up
they're gonna call me up Mohamed Salah Mohammed told I said the
ladies about go perform the walk around the cabin seven times. So
some of our highest selling would wake up and go to off and it was
performed with a loss with that up our incident wisdom up with
explain to him why he woke up and what the purpose of this was
because this was a time when
incidents where he was not bringing Orion specifically, Brian
was gonna was being revealed at this moment, rather than Djibouti.
Instagram was there to tell the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, we
have a journey.
And they would embark together on one of the most magnificent
journeys in the history of journeys. And
the way I look at it is it seems to say the Prophet Alayhi Salatu
was Salam as if he's being told what you know, the people have
done yet didn't respect you.
People have done the art listening to you, they're not treating you
appropriately, they don't understand what it is that you're
trying to depreciate them doesn't come to the sky. Let me show you
your status here in the sky. If the people in dunya don't
appreciate and recognize the energy, the effort that you're
putting in and the work that you're that you're doing, then
come to the sky and see what you have waiting for you in the sky.
And he got to do that until he slept through. So he went and you
know, he got to do things that will in sha Allah if we walked the
path appropriately, we'll do it on the day of judgment, but he didn't
do any outta here. Salatu Salam, he got to see things and
experience things that most of us will only get to experience if we
insha Allah are fortunate that ALLAH SubhanA Grant says the bulk
of of being granted that on the Day of Judgment, and if
you believe it, he said I'm gonna tell the Prophet Allah salatu
salam what the plan was, the plan was that we're going to be to two
trips
and the marriage
and it's not as Allah subhanaw taala says Subhanallah the SRB IBD
he lay in the middle Miss GDL Harami you will miss GDL aquifer
levy by looking at how Allah who you know Rhea, whom in Tina in the
who, who was semi
exalted as the one
who took his servant on a night journey from the sacred mosque to
the pharmaccess. CLI is the one that's a bit farther up and
farther away, which is what is called
it's almost as messy it acts as almost called because of where it
lies. In contrast to an investor do haram because the message is
haram is the centers that they blame. And then when you call
every other mosque based on how far away it is from the center, so
it's an outside because it's the one that's higher up or it's a bit
farther up to the north.
And
the Prophet alayhi salatu wa sallam will be presented by God
with something with a creature called Al Buraq. He will say yeah
rasool Allah is asking me honestly Allah what exactly is that fair?
Who are you salatu salam who can
do what Algrim whatever I'm Anil Kumar
Yabba, half Yahoo and the mental health.
He is an animal between a mule and a donkey in terms of how big it
is, he was white, as a white creature puts its
its hoof
every every every step it takes it puts his hoof at the horizon.
So every step is a horizon right which is basically the speed of
light.
Which is which is hence the name. The name Barack means lightning or
bulkers lightning Buraq is something that is Lightning
Lightning like so Barack is lightning Lake and Barack is
lightning. So he was caught the animals cotton Borak because it
was lightning like it was the same creature that Ibraheem
Alehissalaam his grandfather used to move from Philistine to Mecca
when he would visit his son Ismail Ali his Salaam
and the province as I said, when he talked about this whole Sahiba
Gibreel
Leia Fujitani with a photo and I was accompanied by a UBI he said,
um, he didn't miss me for the entirety of this trip, nor did I
miss him during the entirety of this trip. And I find his comment
on this I use a lot to send him to be to be interesting. Like the
fact that he said that
although item, the point of it or what he was trying to point out to
us out of His thoughts was that um, is, is the importance of
companionship.
Even the Prophet alayhi salatu salam needs companionship, and his
companion on this on this trip was up in it. He said he got to enjoy
the companionship of Gabriel or may I say you really got to enjoy
the companionship of the profile you saw to ascend throughout this
journey, but it's the need and the beauty of companionship that that
the spotlight is on would point out here
For Habanera for 2002 The whole time we were stuck together
actually there are some narrations you find in some of the secondary
collections of Hadith, where the prophet Allah is awesome chatting
with Gibreel on their way. Because of course if there's traveling at
the speed of sound or speed of light,
it's not going to take him a couple of minutes to make it from
from go to
develop steam, but they chatted and when that one of the things
that provided us a lot there was I would ask, Do you believe this is
one of the narrations? You don't? Yeah Gibreel gave it as you do
enough. Sokka and Allah How do you find your status between you and
Allah subhana wa Tada. Upon as you'll be equipped to phaseone I
was in a state of fear of calamity Robbie vikita We can tell my Lord
talked about me in your book, The fool with him, right? And the
other Shima keen MOBA anthem, I mean, by the fact the maintenance
My Lord talked about me in a good way in your book, so I feel a
little bit more comfortable now. So as the prophet it has led to
Sudan is asking you, buddy, how his level of comfort is, how is
what his level of certainty or or clarity on his closeness to Allah
subhanaw taala and what he thinks, you know, he's asking what is
going to look like is the outcome for you being here he's like, I
don't know what my outcome was going to be. But then in your book
guy was talking about in his positive way. So I think hopefully
things will work out for me because Allah subhanaw taala spoke
about me and in a nice way, so they're chatting on the way the
video stream
until they get there, and the broad valleys salatu salam gets
off the Buraq in the narration that we have is that once he gets
off Ali Asad is that in front of him Mr. de la casa. We don't have
the projector here today. But I'll do this maybe next time. Or we'll
try to get the projector up next time.
i You can go online even if you'd like you can do this. If you want
on your own time or on your own laptop, you can go to the 3d
presentation every message. It's, it's done by Jazira. But it's INLA
in real time, so you press on the it's it looks like a video. When
you press on it with your with your mouse or with your pad. You
can you can basically move yourself within the message
Lachlan, you can walk forward, you can walk to the right to the left,
you can zoom in on stuff, you can see the entirety of the how long
you could see over over there. And it's in real time. So you get to
see stuff happening as they're happening or happening in the last
maybe a couple of hours. And is it really important I do this it's a
really nice thing to try and see.
And they'll show you maps of what the messy the outside actually
looks like. Especially Lux was not just the so you know, when you
usually when you see the golden dome, so that sounds cool. But the
soccer that's not really messy. Luxan messy Lux is actually a
little bit farther in. It's an older Masjid that existed how many
Brahimi is not the golden dome, the golden dome is actually quite
distant from it. The full message lochsa is a rectangle the shape
that the dome exists inside. And the Haram al Ibrahimi where they
pray exists in Saigon, there's a lot of other space.
It's similar to for example, if you go to a there's a massage in
Sham where you enter the gate of the masjid and then there's a
space like this in front of you. And there's a molder on the side
and people sit and then there's a message that you pray and inside
but that whole area is the Masjid. They just break the message down
to an haram and then on haram Haram as in the place that is
specialized or specified for prayer where you don't do anything
else is just sunnah or Quran. And then there's like a space outside.
So for example, this masjid, there's the extension and then
there's the main hall. So the main halls were mostly just sold on
Quran, the extension, the extension is still the Masjid.
It's just not the the main home if that makes sense. And you'll see
that in Mecca and Medina and a lot of other old massage and so
especially the offices like that it's a large rectangle shape.
masjid, within it, there's the homily Brahimi, where the prayer
actually occurs. And then there's a large other, there's a lot more
space, where there's trees and places that's also a part of a
messy Luxor.
Inshallah, we'll show you some pictures of that next time on the
on the projector.
I used to have Sam would get off and Buraq. And the first thing he
would do is he would go and he would tie the Buraq to the door of
the message of Elsa, he arrives in the middle of the night he left at
he was sleeping was woken up when he was asleep and he's arriving
there one two o'clock in the morning in
in Jerusalem.
Whenever I read this story,
I always always ask why why is he tying the Buraq?
To the door?
He's the block and a runaway? And when you think about the concept
of it like this is a creature that is it that we have not seen
before. He's not an animal from the,
from the animal kingdom that we're aware of? And he says specifically
by Allah subhanaw taala, would you be able to take him out of your
salatu salam, what are the odds that he once he gets off him he
runs away into the wild? I pretty low. But I think the point that
that's worthy of contemplating here, that the proverb as long as
I'm by nature, he always he always did his part. He always identified
what he should be doing what's the best, what's the best thing for
him to do? And he would do that. What are your thoughts? And I
mean, and I think this this is this is another example of tilaka
that we've talked about before when I broke down into a good for
you a few weeks ago.
We talked about and I kind of gave you the elements of terracotta and
the principles of it. This is a good example of it, you see that
the likelihood that he needs to do that is very low, but he did it
anyway it is almost by reflex, just tying the rock to the to the
door, because that's him doing his part. And it's, it's a it's a
perfect example, because the Hadith that we have when the
Sahaba asked the Prophet alayhi salatu was about to occur, which
was specifically about this he came and he said yes with Allah
and the and the Jamal Altenew who whatever kill our political who
was our kill. So what do I do I have a camel do I let him go? And
I do Terkel just let him kind of graze however he wants and to what
God Allah? Or do I tie him and performed to I could Allah Wait,
which one for Carla and I tell her or whatever, can you tie him up
and then have to work on and he taught the principle and he sought
to verbatim that you do your part, you do your best, and then you put
them to work. So you don't, don't let go doesn't mean that you just
let go of things and you don't perform your duties. And you don't
take care of your part of the equation. No, it never was that.
And that's an important piece of this example, in Sierra.
I think he's just very interesting that he tied the Buraq to the door
of invested Luxor.
So he goes in alayhi salatu salam or he's told by Gibreel, to push
the door that enter into a massive loss. So he does,
inside is probably one of the most anti
high ranked meetings or gatherings of of all time, was amazing
gathering, ever historically, he walks in and he and he sees he
sees basically all of the prophets of Allah subhanaw taala and all
the messengers of Allah subhanaw taala in inside the message Luxa
he walks in and it's just packed with all the messengers and
prophets of Allah subhana wa Tada. And they're opening up space for
him to walk so he can get up to the front of the message entering
from the backside of the masjid.
And, and he's looking and he's seeing all the names, you see,
he's seeing Lopata histogram, and he's seeing sure if he's still
around, and there's hood and there's thought and there's his
grandfather is made, at least he's seeing all these people in this
masjid. And for him, he doesn't understand what they're all of
course, all he deceased, but Allah subhanaw taala made sure their,
you know, their appearances were there for him to see.
And they're all opening up and asking and he's being ushered
upfront by up Ali, so to make his way. So the bravado he saw some
doesn't know why this is the case, but this is what's occurring. So
he makes his way up front. I think his Salatu was Salam.
And he is ordered by Gbit salaam to pray to like an imam in EMA of
these of these messengers and prophets. So the Prophet alayhi
salaatu wa salaam was standing in the middle Rob, and he would refer
Mr. Kabir and he would pray two rakaat Imam with all the
messengers of Allah subhanaw taala before him.
And that's all that happened on this journey of Addis Ababa.
Now, if you're going to compare which which journey is more
magnificent the journey of Israel or marriage which one is more
magnificent?
By far right, by far like there's no comparison, this is what was on
earth. And it goes just we went from one spot to the other Mirage
he went and he went to a place where no no creatures ever went
before. There's no comparison between the two but honestly, and
when you think about it, why did he just not jump to that? Like
what was the point of Israel to begin with? Why would he Why does
he like is or the heavens not accessible from Mecca? The
access it from there, like what was the point of this? Right? It's
an important important piece to to contemplate because we think of
Israel, it's not was not an equal journey to a mirage, Mirage is
much more I need is much more Reverend revered and much more
important. So what was the point of it really, he could just have
gone from Mecca to come back again. And that would be the story
why specifically, having gone to the slot, there's a few reasons
that I think are worthy of us thinking about and that may be
relevant to the time that we're living in.
First of all, the point of him doing this
with the prophets in that Masjid. It's, it's very symbolic, by the
way, the point of this is very, very symbolic. The symbolism here
is that the province of Esau drum is now carrying the baton.
This is this is passing down the baton here. You're now in you're
now in charge. It's your job and you're almost going to be in
charge like all the prophets of Allah subhanaw taala are there to
hand over the Amana that they all carry within their lives and this
is
this is in the book of Allah Allah Allah Who Meath Aslan Ebina lemma
day two to make Italian we're Hekima to Majah komatsuna Musa De
Lima and I come let me know Nabi he were a town Solana Cara Aguilar
tomb was domanda 30 km Usili Paulo a Corona called a fisher do what
an American militia headin momento Ladadika Kula eco home with us
upon in the Quran. Allah subhanaw taala says that every prophet and
every messenger when they were offered their prophecy by Allah
subhanaw taala there was a condition attached to it. The
condition was that if during your time
I send my beloved Mohammed Ali salatu salam to be the Prophet of
the End of Time. If during our life, he is called upon to be
Prophet, that you drop, whatever it is I give you, and you follow
Him.
You believe in him and you stand by him. And then he asked them to
offer their, their pledge, Corrado, accustomed to I gave your
pledge, and they offer the pledge to Allah. So this is a pledge that
is done by prophets, to Allah with the witnesses being the melodica
in honor of the Prophet and Esau to us, and I'm just final, any
final final message and final
CLR story.
So this for him it is slow to assemble is just a symbolic
concept, that you are now responsible for that which all of
these people were responsible for before you they were responsible
for it on a smaller scale. They were responsible for it within
their within their people. This prophets of Bani Israel who are
responsible to spreading this amongst by new Israelite aid in
the profits of their aquarium like who then started it and sure I've
had small girls tried went to Medina and Luke wants to do
womanhood inside I went to their to take it on. And they spoke to
small groups, they were responsible for the guidance of
their groups I used to refer to Islam is not responsible for a
small group. The problem it is thought to Islam's goal or
objective is to spread this to everyone, meaning their people
have to receive this. So loot is there to say I tried to help to
doom their descendants are now in your head.
Sure, I was gonna say I tried to take care of Medina and their
descendants. Now your responsibility, every prophet is
there to basically tell them, tell them Muhammad Ali, he slaughters
me, you are now going to be the one who who spreads this to the to
our people, because your message is going to be spread to
everybody.
So it's two things it was to Sharif. It was he
increasing the status of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam
amongst for himself to understand what he what his status was going
to be amongst these people. But it was also the glyph it was the
establishing the responsibility, you are now responsible. This the
baton is in your hand, you must carry it you must take this Amina
and you must take you take care of it. And you have to you have to
make sure that you do what you need to do with it. And in since
the thought was that it was not immortal. And he was going to pass
away at some point in his life, how do you start to assume that
responsibility would transfer down to his followers
would transfer down to those who followed him out of his love to
Islam to you and I and that's why this is our, this is our
responsibilities, our obligation, it's our duty to learn what he
what his legacy was Alayhi Salatu was and and make sure that we pass
it down and we continue to spread it to others. That's one thing.
Another one is the importance of this area.
All of the prophets of the older times of the music routine even
times they all occurred within this area within Philistine within
the holy land in a messy lead era can now holo that it has developed
all the land around it is Mubarak and the Prophet Allah you saw to a
sound was being told through this journey that you are responsible
for this place. This area is still a space of significance to you.
And as you can see this OMA and you're responsible for his well
being as you are responsible for Mr. Haram. And the and this is
this is something that as Muslims we continue to carry. We continue
to carry in our hearts in our minds the the sanctity and the
holiness of MST, the Luxan that was built right after a Masjid Al
haram when you when you understood when you study a little bit of
what the significance of this place is. And if you if you
followed me during the halls that I gave during the time of Hajj
and establish an established piece of knowledge amongst Muslim
scholars is that the message held on the Kaaba was built by them
either Instagram or at least back as far as far as back as the money
he said, if not before him by the ego of Allah subhanho wa Taala the
staff the reestablishment of it was done by Ibrahim with Yennefer
Abraham will provide them the base, but the actual building of
it was done by Adam and Eastern him and his wife Eve. And when the
Prophet alayhi salatu salam was asked What about the message
Lhasa? His answer was after it by 40 years. Bad that will be a no
brainer Harmon me the admissions officer was established after the
Kaaba was established by 40 years. And this goes, This predates
Ibrahim alayhis salam, it predates Ibrahim Ali's, which is the belief
or the acceptance of this amongst the scholars of Islam, that
message Luxor is as ancient as messenger Haram is, and it was
established as early as a messenger haram was within it with
the one generation difference between the two of them.
Obviously, reestablished again by Ibrahim. And they're established
multiple times throughout history by Isaiah and Bader, who then
Solomon multiple times historically, it was torn down in
there reestablished again.
And that significance of it is of importance and between domestic
locks and massive Haram is the is the land of Ibrahim and where the
tea
teachings of Ibrahim Ali used to lie in every Every valley And
every mountain and every honey road there has significance it has
significant historical significance to the prophets who
came after Ibraheem Alehissalaam into the story of monotheism that
Ibrahim is brought forward. And we don't know a lot of it because we
don't live there and and unfortunately going back and
trying to establish or understand that is not the easiest thing to
do. But this is the reality of the matter. And the bravado you sort
of went on the journey of Islam to establish for him that you are now
responsible and here are the and you're going to pray Imam with all
of this prophets in this message nine a message of the Haram nine
macabre, you're gonna do it over here, the message that united all
of them at some point historically, and to remind you of
your obligation towards this area as well. And that was the that was
the significance of it's about actually occurring. Otherwise, I
am sure he could have made the journey of Mirage from Makati
histological. Some did not need to go there. But it was a reminder to
him it is also to add to that, what was the Timberlea at the
time, the prophet Allah is on he prayed. When I say when he tell
you that the prophet Isaiah went to the cabinet and prayed to like,
maybe in your mind, you're imagining him to praying towards
the Kaaba. He didn't not then during this period of his life,
how to use I'll send the clip that wasn't the Kaaba distributor
wasn't missing luck for
me that was the messy Luxor Philistine. So what he would do I
use the law to Islam is that he would prey on the southern part of
the Kaaba to put the Kaaba between himself and the midst of Laquan
and you pray that way. But the fibula was not the cabinet fibula
when he was praying outside of Makara home he wasn't directly
wasn't directed towards the god but He was directed towards the
message Lochside and so on to Islam. They turned towards the
Kaaba a few years into his time in Medina salatu salam, so he was
being taken by Allah subhanho wa Taala to his Qibla to the original
Qibla if that makes sense to you is taken by Allah subhanaw taala
to the message of the firehouse
is a ton of symbolism and all of this but I'm not going to get into
too detailed into it or else we'll we'll get we'll get off track with
the Zeeland but he was taken to his original fimbriata Here salatu
salam where the prophets where were the prophets prayed and where
the prophets prayed towards and then it was brought back to Yanni
the Kaaba
years later in but once we talk about it coming back on maybe I'll
go into some of those details inshallah Donna so I used to love
to Assam would pray those two records he would understand this
message, the the one of the stories that we have before, at
the end of this of this journey of a straw that you breathe out a
sound we come to the Prophet alayhi salatu salam Hadith in
Bukhari Muslim, and they probably say OTL Tito Laila to ocdsb
because the hiney when hungry and relevant for our to La Hema DOMA
has delivered for Carla's Gibreel Ali salatu salam who did tell if
you were allowed to have the camera
with the bride Valley salatu salam and the night he did this,
Gabrielle a sin and brought him to glasses, one with milk, pure milk
and one with with wine.
And he told him to choose. So the Prophet alayhi salatu salam went
for the milk.
If the social media said Who details Ultra, you have your you
have always been guided towards the fitrah towards purity, tantra
what it means is the purity of the human instinct, or the purity of
the human intellect. That's what children are actually is I know
that we we understand it sometimes a little bit differently.
And I feel that it is not it's not something that is necessarily it
doesn't have doesn't have a lot of sexual connotation to it, even
though we we use that a lot today because of because of the agendas
that we're dealing with but really, Fiddler doesn't really is
not that filter is something a little bit different. So pyrolyzed
Understanding is is being able to recognize that which is pure, that
which is in the package that Allah subhanaw taala offered before the
hand of man manipulates it before the hand of man and ruins it
before we go in and we change things that ruins its composition
from what it was and the provider uses them when he's being offered
milk and common It was symbolic and what are you going to choose
that which is is symbolized symbolizes that which is pure, the
way that Allah subhanaw taala created it the way that Allah
subhanaw diamonds would be versus something that maybe maybe it
gives you some maybe there's there's something in it for you
like you but but it was manipulated by the hand of man you
see how money is not normal it's not natural that's not what you
what you get you have to you have to there's a process that goes
into making wine it doesn't doesn't just happen on its own it
within nature.
And then as I'm talking to you chose the the Milliken that ended
up with tell him who didn't feel the way you've always been guided
towards the purity of your filter and had you chosen the other logo
which then you would have you would have caused yourself in your
in your nation after you to be it to be misguided. I think it's
salatu salam
within this and he stories a short story I could have easily not need
To tell you this story and moved on to Melange, but I think there's
something there to kind of really think about this concept of the
filter. What happened here happened at this moment. It
happened at the moment that we saw between SR V Mirage he was given
he was given this option here, make a choice.
wasn't given any context. And he just made the choice out of his
thoughts. I was told you chose the filter.
As he's going on this journey, how to get salatu salam, he's going to
the to the heavens. He had to he had to prove that there had to be
some establishment that he understood the purity of where he
was and the purity where he was going on. He has salatu salam
before he could you could you can actually go there. And the concept
here of of recognizing that pure instinct or the pureness of nature
itself, is very heavy in our deen like we are, as Muslims, you are,
as a Muslim, you are very much connected with nature around you.
And you. And you recognize very clearly, the beauty of the
importance of what Allah subhanaw taala has, has put here on earth
for us.
And that, really, our job is to preserve it. Our job is to keep
its beauty, our job is to make sure that it continues to be pure
and to have that. And that piece, we often we often, like if you
think about it, what is really what it is a global warming, aside
from the hand of man manipulating the earth to the point where it's
not, it doesn't even harm the Earth, it just harms us like the
earth is going to be fine. The planet is going to be totally
fine. We're the ones we're going to suffer, we're the ones we're
going to die basically, and not be able to leave because of what
we've done to this planet. And Muslims, we as a Muslim, you you
really recognize that this is what Allah subhanaw taala is trying to
teach us
is recognizing the purity of nature, with its nature can be
cruel nature can be can be difficult it can be, but there's
some there's pureness to it. That is worthy of preserving and worthy
of respect and in maintaining, and the profile of a sloth those that
recognize that and that's how he lived his life. Allah you saw to
me was very much in touch with the sun and the moon, we pray
according to the sun, and we fast according to the moon and
and you bet a lot of what we do in our lives is is is connected to
the earth, a profile that you saw was very connected to nature. And
I think we've lost that piece. We lost a lot of it like it doesn't.
It's not there as not as there as much as it as it was. When you
think about how judge has to be outdoors. You can't perform
hygiene indoors. I know, I know that if you pay enough money, you
can get yourself into a hotel somewhere and but really, if you
think of hygiene is not designed to be like that hides you're out
in the open and out often minute and was done even the holum You're
out in the open
on Earth that has not been manipulated, yet did you think
about it the earth that you're on in Mecca, it's very dry. There's
not much to do there, you can't really grow anything. So it's very
unmanipulated earth that you're going to sit on. It's been that
way since Adam and Eve walked it. With the simplicity of it all with
the with with the genuineness and the natural aspect of all of it. I
think that's just something worthy of any of contemplating, you would
make Alessa to Islam, the journey on Iraq, or I would leave the
Brock, Brock biani behind and they would go on this journey to the
heavens,
up on Easter Island would take him would take them through the skies.
I find that when they tell the story, it's fast forwarded
through. Like we tell the story really quickly in terms, okay, you
went up to the skies, and he would go through them one by one and
meet flat in front front and the story is over. I don't tell him, I
don't tend to tell the story like that. I tend to give it a little
bit more time. I think there's a lot to learn from the fact that he
was going that he would go through these steps. When you hear the
stories, you know what I mean? When he went on this journey, he
was going to stop at certain he was stopping each of the size each
of the heavens, he would stop there. And he would meet someone
out of his love to us. I mean, speak to someone with by name,
again, specific people, we're going to be there. And I think
each person that he's meeting on a Zlatoust time is someone that he
needs to meet, to prepare him for what's going to come. So he didn't
know yet how to use the law to what was next. We do but he
doesn't.
He wasn't knowing that that was coming next for him out of his
slot to assembly, he's going to leave Mecca, and he's going to go
and he's going to become the sovereign of a different country.
And he is going to be dealing with people who from a lineage
perspective could not be farther away and or different than he is.
And he's going to establish a country and he's going to run into
a completely different set of problems and the problems that he
was running into in Mecca, there are a certain number of problems
but the problems in Medina are gonna be very, very different.
They're not they're not similar. So before he embarks on this on
this Newt on this change in his life, it was going to happen a
couple of years later, like the he doesn't.
He's being offered at a store to some a little bit of mentorship.
He's been offered some some exposures that he for sure needs
to go meet some people. Go figure go under
Title a bit more broaden your horizons Oh rasool Allah so I said
I'm get to know some people see how things actually work on a
bigger scale zoom out a little bit from the the struggles, the simple
struggles of your daily like zoom out and see things for what they
are and meet some people who have walked paths that you will benefit
from chatting with and the way I do this is I go through it one by
one and the Prophet alayhi salatu salam it would be it would be a
sending with Gibreel and your being would ask for within the
first guy to you for access for your Mac and he who's with you for
your phone my Mohammed I have with me Mohamed el correo our current
worth why was he has he been sent already like he has been has he
has been given prophecy already. He was I know that he's coming on
he used a lot to assume that knowledge they had that the final
messenger at some point was going to be there his name is Mohammed
Salah and Muhammad Salah so they're saying isn't why has he
been sent for he's already been given we're given prophecy for
you're gonna fail Kulu marhaba and believe me Salah he gonna be a
signer who will welcome the pious signer or the pious brother.
You'll be allowed entry Allah Who salatu salam until he reached to
the heavens and heaven by heaven, he would descend and he would meet
people in those heavens. The first heaven he would enter. I used to
love to send the first sky. He would meet anyone No, no, I don't
have to. So this is good. Who do you meet in the first seven?
Nope, nope. You're a little bit
summer. This is going to cause me an aneurysm
right in my ear. I don't know why it's
this it's just frightened me or anyone else.
So either my easternmost version of the first guy I used to lie to
us about
so he would enter mount and I didn't wouldn't say Mohammed bin
Salman of Saudi. Welcome my pious son.
And the Prophet alayhi. Salam, we don't have a lot of,
of narrations from these from these ascensions. I don't have a
narrations. So I'm going to do for you is I'm going to narrate for
you what actually happened, like what we have. And then I'm going
to imagine the rest of it for you. I'm going to imagine what they may
have talked about, and maybe why it is that he met these people
specifically, what was the purpose of beating Adams specifically
versus maybe some other prophets? So we do have a narration for this
first one. So it's something I can share with you a photo fun vanilla
to ebony. Adam, it'd be Adam. I looked at my father item for Roger
to Jellison, who Amanda who's doing configurable madness in
front of him as a lot of people,
either Nevada and Yemeni, he doesn't. We don't know what I'm
Shima Lee, I was when he looked to his right, the people on his right
he was smile. I mean, we look to the people on his left, he would
he would sob. And the ask them why else whatever color. The people on
the right are His children who made the right choices, who are
making to make it to genetic name. So when he saw them, he was happy.
And we looked at this to the left, it was just children who didn't
and they were going to be punished. And he sobbed for them.
And the reason I think you probably already saw those and met
Adam. That's the first one. First of all, he's our father. He's the
father of all human race. So even when we talk about there being two
camps, even when there are some and there are these two camps that
are there all the time, when the camp of Huck in the camp of
Boston, the people of righteousness and the people of
falsehood, the people who stand for justice and the people who
stand for oppression and transgression. And we look at the
man and go for and we look at these, remind yourself that the
people on the other side are just
there you like they're your brothers and sisters from IBM and
Eastern. They're a part of this human race. They're not aliens.
They did not come through a membrane from a different reality
and drop out of the sky. They are their sons and daughters of Adam
and Eve. And what we care for more than beating them is guiding them.
What is more beloved to us, then having them submit and having them
lose the battle or lose the standoff is for them to find
guidance and join these side of righteousness in Islam. You don't
need an enemy. Like the concept of needing an enemy amongst human
beings is not there. The enemy is a bliss bliss he established
himself as the enemy of the human race where he said in the
shavasana like I'm gonna do one that we do who are doing D they
breezes for you enemy and he established himself as an enemy
for you so you establish him as an m&e enemy for yourself. He chose
to be the one who wants to consistently see you fail.
Actually he started looks at it as if the human race is on one side
and the bliss is on the other that's how they start actually
looks at this as a bliss is on one side at least once you once you
not to make it the agenda. That's his goal. His goal is to prove to
Allah Subhanallah you're not worthy of high status you're not
worthy
award you're not worthy of the respect that Allah subhanaw taala
granted Adam Alayhis Salam at the beginning. And then the human race
is on the other side. So we don't see it any other way. And the
Prophet it says, I'm meeting Adam right at the beginning, which is a
reminder of what the story is your ascent to his children. You
understood Allah, you are sent his children out of his center, all of
his children, all of them. And your goal is to grant guidance to
all of his children, all of them equally, because it doesn't make a
difference. None of his children are superior to others, none of
his children are more important than the other children.
Or vice versa.
That's why he met Adam in the first sky before any of the
complex lessons that were going to come later when he met the others.
Prophets of Allah subhanaw taala. Let's start with the basic lesson.
The simple one, that's your dad. That's everybody's dad. We all go
back, go look on the word mentor, you all go back to Adam and Adam
comes from the salt of the earth. And he got to see them suffer for
a moment.
And then he said, I've never sinned, aside from the ones that
he did agenda. That's it.
He said he didn't want. And at that point, he still was wrong. I
was enough. He didn't understand exactly what it was the story it
was about he didn't comprehend it. It was designed for him to make
the mistake to learn the lesson. And then he was created for the
Earth. It wasn't created for the gentleman who's created for the
Earth. Allah said in the giant over and over the Khalifa, I want
to put on Earth a steward. Before it was even before Adam took his
first breath, he was prepared for Earth. So whatever sin he made an
agenda that was by it was going to happen, it was bound that was
destined for him to learn for us to learn. So we never never sinned
again.
But he's there and he's in pain, because some of his children did
well, and that makes them happy. But some of them didn't. And the
question is, how many of the ones that didn't? Are you able to cross
over to be amongst those who did?
That's what you have to look at other use? AutoSum? What impact is
going to have on this group over here? The one that makes his dad
cry? The one that makes his father sob? How many of them? Can he
transfer over to the other side? And what?
What cost or what?
Expense?
Is he willing to pay either he saw those and for that to happen? Is
there a cost that is too was too heavy? Is there too much? Is there
a point where he said this? We're paying too much for this one
person to be in for someone to find guidance is there?
That's the question you have to answer on your own. I can tell you
that his answer Allahi salatu. Salam was there isn't if there is
a price to be paid. If there is a if there is a price tag on it,
I'll pay it just telling me there's a price tag telling me
there's hope, telling me that Fudan or this group, there's hope
of them finding guidance, and if there's hope of them finding
guidance, I will pay the price, whatever that may be. Because it
doesn't matter to him. It was him. Because he saw, he saw, he saw how
he said I was sitting there. He's our father. Another reason he met
at MIT Sloan is the other night he said, I missed the first Khalifa
the concept of stewardship with this concept of a caregiver, which
is a better way of just like by nature, you're a PhD, and I'm and
that's what he was called when he went on the journey of his
thought, right? That's what the crisis of Hannah the SLR, the Abdi
here, that's the highest accolade you can get if Allah subhanaw
taala calls you calls you a true servant. If you have achieved the
level of true service of Allah subhana wa, that's, that's the
highest accolade a human being can ever get. The Prophet Allah you
saw somebody offered it on this journey. You're a drugged. You're
a true servant of Mine. She's a big deal because none of us
guarantee are guaranteed to be called that in our lifetime or in
the Day of Judgment. Just like by nature, you and I are our servants
by nature, we are caregivers as a part of who we are. We are
designed so Khalifa was not like what sometimes we misunderstand
the word Halifa. We think that this is an artificial mission that
we are given that we have to you know, fill in that role. No, no,
by nature, you're a servant. And by nature, you're a caregiver.
Just how you are you have the ability, you are designed to carry
responsibility, and to care for someone else in your life. People
who don't care for others in their lives become miserable.
They become miserable, eventually,
carrying the responsibility of someone else's well being. And
taking care of them is one of the most if not the only fulfilling
thing that you'll ever do in your life. Understanding feeling is so
mean, the more people you care for, and the more people you're
responsible for, the more people you take care of, the more
fulfilled you will find yourself in your life. Yes, the
responsibility is higher and you work twice as much, but it's
extremely fulfilling to be the caregiver of others. Which is what
Halifa means. Khalifa is being the caregiver of the earth, and the
caregiver of everyone on it. That's what that was the that was
the description of Adam. Adam was the first study for the first
person the
Hear the Word. And to be told that's what you're here to do.
You're a Halifa you're a caregiver, you are responsible on
behalf of someone else. That's what it means in Arabic.
If I leave, I'm going to if I go home now I put someone here to
give the to do what I'm doing in my on my bi, that's it, that's my
Khalifa is going to take do what I'm doing on my dad, because I'm
not here to do it. I'm not gonna be doing it personally. Allah
subhanaw taala put the human being here to take care of things, take
care of business, and be the caregiver of the earth and be
responsible for it. The first one that heard that was at MIT, he
said.
So the Prophet alayhi salatu salam got to meet the first Khalifa,
just so we understand that well, he has heard the word in the
client a few times now and sort of saw it's come up a few times in
the Quran. The full establishment a bit will happen in Medina, but
it's, he's the concept has been explained to him in the Quran a
few times in Mecca. And before he made it to Medina, here come meet
the first one.
I'm sure the prophet Isaiah saw some had some questions for him.
So how was it explained to you initially? You did it well. So
what exactly did you do? How did it work? What was what were the
just hearing from the original Why Why talk to a secondary family for
tertiary Italy for Kalibo came a couple of 100 or 1000 years later,
speak to the first one, the one who got the command of be a
caregiver and Eva from Allah Himself. With no no one in
between. I learned I was a Khalifa from my, from my teacher, and his
teacher, my teacher, learn from his teacher and going back to the
Prophet alayhi salatu was I'm going back to Adam did not learn
from another human being he heard it directly from Allah subhanaw
taala. Here's what you're here to do. This is your job. This is your
mission. This is who you are. You're a servant, and you're a
caregiver. So do it.
A third reason I think he met him, he just wrote to us today is that
Adam is the solid example for all of us.
You know, when you write, when you have a math tests coming up on
their solved examples, where you're given a
problem, and then you see how the problem is actually going to be
dealt with, because you're gonna get a similar plot problem on on
your exam, you always need that you can't really pass the subject
if you don't have a solved example one or two, where the teacher goes
on and writes the problem. And then he teaches you how to kind of
solve it. And then you start to try and do it yourself and fail a
few times and you figure it out. But you need at least one or two
solid examples to make it at MIT slam is a solid example for us.
He's the first person who made that mistake and then performed
doba after it and fixed his ways. You get to see human nature in
action.
You get to see human nature in action to see Adam on Instagram
struggle with himself struggle with the desire versus with with
his with his inner desire versus doing the right thing following
the teachings of Allah subhanaw taala versus wanting something and
in that in the ongoing fight on the inside, that he lost the first
time around. So we got to see how the outworked
you got to see how you're going to fix it or to get it right the next
time how to solve it what to say when you make that mistake. But
overall I'm not enforcing our laptop villain out of harmony and
an akuna nominal high ceiling now how to actually take on the the
the job of a caregiver and do it appropriately and live a life of
of a stiff armor. Either my name is Sam will always be that example
for all of us, someone for us to learn from and if we actually take
the time to do that
you will find that almost every mistake that the human being makes
can be taken back to the initial mistake of other monies.
In every every time you do something wrong. If you break it
down to its elements, you can take it back to the mistake that Adam
and I used to have made in one way or the other
because it's not complicated. Like when we when we sin when we do
something wrong. It's not that complicated. We would like to
believe it isn't we're actually not a complicated creature at all.
When I do something wrong it's because of an inner desire or
inner fear of something and it makes makes me it makes me keep
the balance a little bit from doing the right thing versus doing
the thing that I feel is in my best interest I would like to
believe it's in my best interest when naturally most of the time it
is not see either my day seven was was told by him he's gonna He's
told me he's gonna Molokini otaku nominal quality. However, if you
do this, if you eat from this tree that you were told not to eat
from, you will either become immortal
or you will have sovereignty. The two things that the human me
doesn't like I don't like you don't like to die. And we don't
like being servants. You want we want more we want. You want some
control. You want some status, you want wealth. You want to be in a
position where we can control things. We want control and you
want the mortality. I didn't didn't want to die. I was fine
with the concept of he loved he loved life. It was beautiful. It's
awesome. The first breath and the ability to learn to understand was
great. But then he was telling you how to die and I was like I don't
want to die. Is there a way not today? I don't You're a sermon by
nature.
Could I be something else? Can it be something else?
Aside from a servant that sounds so boring, I want to own something
I want to control I want to command I want to, you know, you
see his god he sees Allah subhanaw taala, commanding and creating and
putting things in place, and he would like to do that you would
love to do that we all do. We want to control we want to be immortal.
Now, every single sin you make, if you break it down into its
elements will go back to one of those two things, or the fear of
death or the the desire of being of having more, or being more, or
having more control or expanding your region. And once you get rid
of those two things, once you accept death, and when you stop
running after dunya cross,
you basically cut off the sources of you put your cut out, you
stepped off the sources of why you would make a mistake to begin
with.
So the Prophet of Islam would meet Adam alayhis salam to learn these
things from him. He would ascend to that second sky which I can
have another his Salatu was Salam
mera haven't been decided, hey, whenever your site I welcome our
pious son or pious brother. And who would he meet in the in the
second sky? Someone said the right name a second ago.
We yelled out the name and I said he was wrong.
And who said ASA?
He's only seven but he wasn't alone.
And yeah, so Jesus and John. May Allah be Yaniv, may Allah grant
them the peace and blessings. Isa and yeah, I don't you must be now.
Hyla as a Prophet alayhi salam and point out me the two cousins.
I think we're running out of time. All right. Three minutes. Okay,
fellas, I'll make this quick. I'm not gonna finish this is not gonna
be. We don't have any narrations from what actually occurred. Like,
I don't know what they said to each other. He didn't he for sure.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, did not just sit down and then move up
to the sky after No, he for sure any of us thought there was a time
spent some time with them, for sure. And they didn't sit there
awkwardly staring at each other. No, they spoke to one another to
the provider you saw to some had a conversation with all these
profits. These profits are very accurately and precisely by Allah
chosen for him to meet out of Houston AutoSum each of them there
is a reason for why he is meeting them out of his love to us to
them. And this is the only sky where he will meet two people, all
the others will be just one person. Right? This is the only
sky where there's two people where he gets to meet two people who are
related to each other on a US law to a setup, where he gets to see
the importance of family where he gets to see the importance of
companionship within Dawa of having someone on your side like
Musa Hudhud on like a Saudi said I'm had Yeah, hey Alexandria,
Zachary Addison, like like this. Rahim Allah Islam had looked, the
importance of having companionship and the Prophet Allah is also had
that companionship and this was being something taught to him the
importance of your companions and the people that will stand by you
the important to overcome and I'm on an Earth man and he and his
debate and Paula and inside and I'm gonna Man, these people who
may be on a straw to stand up to that moment, still had not
crystallized what their role was going to be. He was still on a
saucer and trying to figure out where they're going to, because
their role is not simple. The role is not simple. The role of these
human beings is huge. The companions of the prophet Isaiah
is a male and female that continued to carry his Tao after
he passed away is the reason the majority of you are sitting here
and the reason I am sitting here for sure, is because of that
companionship, so you got to meet two people out of history.
One of the reasons
they both went through extreme oppression, both of them yeah,
here and a Sally CERAM went through extreme oppression. The
Prophet alayhi salam was oppressed. He was mistreated. He
was tortured by the people of Mecca and I told you some of the
stories what he got to meet a salahi's Salam who story was
nothing but ongoing oppression and torture by the people of Bani
Israel, where they tried to crucify him. I think he stood out
to us when they tried to crucify a Saudi Saddam and they believe that
they did. And this is the image that people carry with him that he
was on the cross and he said, Yeah, he said I'm not only was he
oppressed and mistreated Yeah, hey, I think Instagram was was was
slaughtered.
His head was severed from his body, and was offered on a on a on
a plate to a king. As Mo, for for a marriage that was haram to
happen. When you hear the story the story is so twisted. Like it's
it's such a difficult story to hear how he said, This prophets
died and for what and who did it and what the purpose was is very
difficult. Sometimes they're not comfortable sharing it when
there's children around was a horrible story. But he that's how
he died. After watching the kings. People saw his father and half in
a tree. The courier was hiding in a tree and they saw the tree with
him in it. He watched this on Instagram. This is the amount of
oppression yeah here and as I said would see. So I think although I'm
a part of it was for the profiler you saw to some to recognize it's
not just you, others before you walk the path that was this path
has always been difficult. This path of carrying the concept of La
Isla in
Allah has always been heavy. It's never been easy. There have been a
walk in the park. Take a look at these these customers take a look
at what happened, what happened to them? I think it's time for a
moment of if I'm not mistaking, I'll end with that inshallah.
There's a few more reasons of why he meets them. So we'll we'll talk
about it inshallah Tada next week, and hopefully if we're capable of
doing it outside, he's doing it outside. I better doing it inside
better outside, put your hand up if it's outside.
So we're kind of 5050 All right, how much is that gonna lock in and
I think we're not gonna we're not gonna learn stuff to really go. So
Allahu wa salam ala Nabina Muhammad
