The speakers discuss the actions of previous leaders of the European Church during the seven, eight, and nine centuries, including the annexation of Hashem, the failure of Islam's ability to perform, the use of blood in the hands of Muslims, the loss of a deceased relative to the Church, and the ongoing trials and trials in which deceased individuals were taught the message of Islam. They emphasize the importance of finding support and protection from one's network and finding a woman who makes a woman feel vulnerable and vulnerable, as it is important to build alliances and trust in one's network. They also advise against relying on personal connections and learning the concept of tawakzik, as it is important to build alliances and trust in one's network.

Today,

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

we continue from where we left off last

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

week or the week before in the seal

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

of the prophet

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

Today, probably, we will conclude the,

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

the years of of the boycott of the

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

clan of of Hashem.

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

And that was from year 7 to to

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

year 9. So year 7, 8, 9, the

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

majority of what occurred during those 3 years

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

was the boycott. So we don't have a

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

lot of narrations from those years. The narrations

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

are very very limited, very few things.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

You'll find that for example, the 2nd year

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

of

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

will take us a few weeks to talk

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

about because there's so many things that happened.

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

The 6th year is the same thing. But

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

then you have 3 years

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

of of during his prophecy or early prophecy

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

where I I can put them all together

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

in 1 session basically and talk about them

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

because we just don't have a lot of

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

narrations from that, from that time.

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

Mostly because

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

time stood still a little bit for for

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

the Muslims, for the prophet.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

His ability to perform

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

came down significantly

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

being

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

stuck inside

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

the neighborhood that he was in.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

They're they're being,

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

danger

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

towards his life

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

the whole time having to move around a

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

lot. The hunger that people were were were

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

struggling with and and and and suffering from,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

it's just it just made that period a

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

very difficult 1. They seldom talked about it

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

afterwards. Like, the the would not necessarily

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

bring this up amongst them themselves, especially those

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

who were stuck within the within the neighbor,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

within the clan for for the majority of

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

the time, for the 3 years.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

And I went over some of the stories

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

that that occurred, and and and some of

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

those stories are difficult to hear. People are

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

plea pleading with merchants for for any amount

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

of food, willing to, you know, do anything

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

for it to just to feed their children.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

And still, they

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

they they wouldn't. And people died from starvation,

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

old and young.

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

Yet none of them no 1 walked out

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

of the neighborhood. No 1 gave up on

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

the on the stands. Even though many of

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

them were mushakeen, people who didn't believe in

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

Allah

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

the way the prophet

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

did. But there was this feeling of

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

of

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

of an active oppression that was,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

directed towards the Muslims. And the Muslims were

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

people at that time who were integrated into

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

science in in in society or into society

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

and had high ethics. People people wanted people

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

wanted to support them. People wanted to support

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

their cause, even though they didn't necessarily believe

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

in it, but they wanted to defend them

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

and they and they wanted to protect them

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

and they didn't want to see them and

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

go starve. So so a lot a lot

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

of, Banu Hashim who were not Muslim stayed

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

anyways out of loyalty to Abu Talib and

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

to the fact that they agreed,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

with the Muslim. They they they saw that

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

what Quraysh was doing was,

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

was unethical and and and was a violation

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

of basic human rights. So

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

during those 3 years,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

there were certain efforts of trying to bring

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

them, food and and drink. And is

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

the story I told you last time here

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

where he kept on sending Yaniya camel in

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

with some food and he kept on getting

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

beaten for it.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

But but people a lot of people in

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

Quraysh did not agree with this with this

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

boycott, with the with the signed treaty or

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

the signed agreement that was hanging in the

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

middle of the Kaaba. But even if you

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

didn't agree with it, Quraysh was too powerful

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

for you to say anything about it. And

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

and the and the interesting piece for the

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

prophet

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

is that they didn't know this was going

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

to end in 3 years. I I'm telling

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

you now, it's a it's a 3 year

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

thing. It started

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

beginning of year 7 7 ended towards the

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

end of year 9 of his prophecy

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

but they had no idea when it was

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

going to end. There was didn't and the

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

Quran that was being revealed during that period,

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

did not talk about it. And the Quran,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

just talked about oppression, talked about

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

perseverance, talked about patience, talked about,

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

striving for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

ta'ala. He talked about these type of things

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

but didn't come and address the actual act

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

act of of boycott. It didn't come address

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

like, they didn't talk about when it soon

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

it will be over, soon something will come.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

You just don't have that in the Quran.

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

You can go and you can read in

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

those Mecci Surah. You don't find it. You

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

don't find that type of, any

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

of rhetoric. But but the but the Surah

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

continued to teach the ethics, teach the values,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

teach the principles. And when you look at

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

it, the first 10 years of his prophecy,

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

alayhis salatu wa sama, the Surah the Surah

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

that were revealed during that time were all,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

foundational

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

Surah that were building and teaching just basic

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

principles and basic values.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

Almost ignoring,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

you know, the actual events that were occurring.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

Because when you think about it, the Quran

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

never talked about Habasha either. Right? When did

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

the Quran talk about the the immigration to

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

Habasha? No. You know what? The immigration to

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

Abyssinia was not was never brought up in

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

the Quran. Like, the Quran. Why? Because the

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

focus in the Makki surahs was just on

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

the on the on the on the foundational

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

values. Just building those values and talking about

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

what what it means to be Muslim. Almost

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

ignoring all of the events that were occurring

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

at the time. On the other hand, the

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

Madani Quran is different. The Madani Quran reflects

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

it mirrors everything that's happening at the time.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

Almost every detail that's occurring within the Muslim

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

country was being mirrored in the Quran. But

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

in the Mecca Quran, no.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

We we don't have that. We don't have

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

the, you know, the the cert every event

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

being addressed and every transition in the prophet

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

life or plan being talked about. We don't

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

find the Quran. The, Yani, the it won't

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

it won't address, for example, the the the

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

death of certain people, which I'll talk about

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

today. Like, a lot of important events just

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

won't be reflected. Now will be,

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

you know, very briefly. Yeah. Within maybe just

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

a few verses in Surah. It's Surah and

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

a few verses in Surah Najim, but the

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

majority of the Quran, and there's

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

a reason for that because the Mecca Quran

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

was foundational. It was building values and principles.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

It was not getting distracted by by events

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

and drawing parallels and learning how to do

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

how to draw analogies and do, which is

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

an

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

aspect of of what the Muslims had to

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

learn to do. It was just it was

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

it was focused on here's what you need

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

to know. Here's the piece, here's the principle

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

that you have to live by

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

regardless of what you're actually going through at

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

the time.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

So 3 years passed by, the prophet

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

performed very minimal dua. The number of Muslims

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

almost increased by

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

almost no people no new people accepted Islam

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

during that period. A lot of Muslims

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

were were scarred by this. There are people

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

who, yeah, I mean, who who who died

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

from starvation and people who who emerged after

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

the end of these 3 years financially, physically,

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

and socially much weaker than they were before.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

So it was not an easy time. The

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

question that is asked so we or that

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

I that I I think is worth asking,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

why why did this happen? Why

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

3 years is not a small amount of

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

time when you look at the grand scheme

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

of the things. His whole

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

prophecy was 23 years. That's not a very

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

long time. 3 years.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

That's that's a that's a, you know, so

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

or on over 15 15%. That's a long

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

that's pretty reasonable amount of time that that

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

the prophet

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

basically couldn't do anything.

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

Very little dua. Yeah. Maybe teaching whoever

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

whomever amongst the are living within the clan

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

with him, but they're everyone's just trying to

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

survive, trying to stay alive, trying to, you

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

know, not lose their deen or lose their

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

lives. Why this happened?

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

And and the another to add to that

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

question is why did this happen? Why weren't

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

there, like, obvious or clear miracles? You're gonna

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

find you're gonna find stories later on where

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

the prophet, alayhis salaam, the food increases. Like,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

the amount of food is very small. He

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

feeds an army. Or, like, you'll find these

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

these, these indicators of his prophecy

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

in terms of feeding people. Right? Special specifically

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

feeding people, but nothing in these 3 years.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

Right? Nothing it will happen later, but not

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

now. But why not now?

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

At the beginning of, at the at the

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

early stage of of of

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

kind of building the Islamic,

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

nucleus of people,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

there had to be tests and trials that

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

were severe. That was very that were very

00:07:57 --> 00:07:57

difficult.

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

Right? In order for in order for those

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

who truly believe in this, truly accept, who

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

truly are going to live by it, for

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

them to show themselves and those who aren't

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

to kind of, you know, fade up fade

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

fade up fade away or or remove themselves.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

The heavy trials are there to show the

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

true colors of people, to bring out the

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

best of people and sometimes bring out the

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

worst of people. But for there to be

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

to say, for there to be clarification,

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

kind of a little bit of a shift

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

in terms of who is who is actually

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

a part of this and who is not.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

Because it's easy to be a part of

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

anything when when you're doing well. That's easy.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:31

When things are going well, when you're wealthy,

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

and you're healthy, and, yeah, and you're supported,

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

and, you know, you're you're at your peak,

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

you can be a part of almost anything.

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

Right? It's when things are really hard that

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

that you, you know, you're being tested. Your

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

loyalty, your alliance, your, your commitment, your

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

devotion is being tested when things are really

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

really hard. And these in in the in

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

these early years of his life alayhis of

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

his prophecy alayhis salatu wa sallam, these tests

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

had to be difficult.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:00

So that's why we went through all these

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

different stories of of physical abuse and financial

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

torture and social oppression.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

All these things happened, and they had to

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

send people out to HaBaSha. And now 3

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

years of boycott

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

because only those who are true to this

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

story will stand their ground. So then when

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

the prophet Ali, his last name, finally performs

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

to Israel and takes with him those who

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

believe in him, these people have proven their

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

weight. These are the ones who will because

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

if you think if you read the stories

00:09:23 --> 00:09:24

after he died out of his if he

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

passed away out of his who who continued

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

to carry the baton, who continued to who

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

continued the legacies. These people were with him

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

at the beginning. It was it was it

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

was these individuals who stood by him at

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

the beginning like Sad and and and

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

and these are the ones who spread Islam

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

in every direction. But they had to go

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

through, you know, basically these difficulties or have

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

to go through * to be able to

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

prove that they would that they actually believed

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

in it and they accepted it. And

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

I don't think it works any other way

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

for for other for for for any other

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

group or any other nation. Well, low on

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

them, it's the same story for everyone.

00:09:58 --> 00:09:58

Allah

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

in order for us to

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

for us to be in a difficult situation

00:10:02 --> 00:10:05

and be removed into a better 1, there

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

there will be a a phase of of

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

severe trials, of tests, and of difficulties.

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

And during those trials,

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

only the, only the the truthful, only the,

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

the the the genuine and the and sincere

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

will be able to hold to stand their

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

ground, will be able to continue to do

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

what they know is the right thing and

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

the rest and the rest won't.

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

And that's, I believe, where we are right

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

now within the different

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

within the fluctuations of time as we kinda

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

watch every nation, it hit peaks and it

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

and it and it and it plummets and

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

then it peaks again. We're at that time

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

where where yeah. I need these difficulties will

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

bring the best out of people and the

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

worst. You have to decide what it's going

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

to bring out of you. You have to

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

decide how you're because of Haqq Ali.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

Because righteousness is very, very valuable. It's very

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

it's very expensive.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

It's the most valuable currency in in in

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

the universe. Just doing the right thing and

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

standing by righteousness. And it it doesn't come

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

cheap. If you decide that you you're going

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

to stand by what you believe is the

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

right thing and you're going to live for

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

it, it's not a cheap thing. It does

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

it's not gonna be easy. It's not going

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

to be no. It's not gonna be a

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

red carpet and,

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

no. It's going to it's going to be

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

very hard to get there, to to prove

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

that you actually believe in it. And that's

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

why these 3 years occurred.

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

The Sahaba had to put up with with

00:11:17 --> 00:11:18

what occurred here. They had no idea when

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

it was going to end. Khadijah could have

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

left. She never did. She stayed there with

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

her husband

00:11:23 --> 00:11:24

because she refused to go out and eat

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

while the prophet

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

couldn't. And a lot of people had to

00:11:28 --> 00:11:29

make decisions in what they were going to

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

do.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

There was something that the prophet alaihi wasalam

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

was able to do during the 3 years.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

He was able to get out of

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

the clan during the timing of Hajj.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

So Hajj was a time where all of

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

the all of Arabia came to Mecca to

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

perform pilgrimage.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

Quraysh could not justify this boycott in front

00:11:51 --> 00:11:51

of,

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

in front in front of the Arab. And

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

they could not

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

attempt to kill

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

him in the midst of all these people

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

or during that time. So the time of

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

Hajj was a breather.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

Throughout the whole year, he had those 10

00:12:05 --> 00:12:06

days of hajj where they could they could

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

breathe. They could get out of the clan.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

They can go and they could eat and

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10

they could shop and get some food. Like,

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

they could do some stuff and deal with

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

other clans and and and help provide for

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

themselves. That's the only way that they survived,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

actually. It was the it was the those

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

10 days of Hajj every year that they

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

used to fill up on what they could

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

to keep themselves alive. And the prophet, alayhis

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

salatu wa salam, would often

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

speak yeah. He do dawah during these, you

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

know, during during the times of Hajj. He

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

would go out and try and and do

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

as much dawah as he could, alayhi salatu

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

wa salam,

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

because he had no other timing to to

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

do it. And and that 1 of those

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

interesting stories or the nice stories that we

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

have from that era or that timing is

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

the story of Amr, ibn Absa.

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

And Amr ibn Absa would come to the

00:12:45 --> 00:12:46

prophet alayhi salatu wa sallam in front of

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

the Kaaba during the time of Hajj, and

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49

he would see

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

the prophet

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

praying, we ask him,

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

what is it that you call for?

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

Or 2. The prophet will explain to him

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

I I call to the to the belief

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

and the oneness of Allah

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

and and and to serve only only Allah

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

with no associates and and no other.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:13

Who believes in you?

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

And he had his wife and Zaid standing

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

beside.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

Man and woman.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

And who else?

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

Then he pointed out to Abu Bakr and

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

Bilal.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

Would speak to the prophet for a few

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

for few more moments and then he would

00:13:32 --> 00:13:32

give his

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

What do you tell me to do?

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

As for now, I can't take care of

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

you. I can't protect you. You can't stay

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

here. I'm not in a good position right

00:13:45 --> 00:13:46

now.

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

Go back to your people.

00:13:53 --> 00:13:54

If you hear that III

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

conquered the Kaaba or I conquered

00:13:57 --> 00:13:58

Mecca then come back to me again.

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

But I as I spoke to him for

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

a very short period of time, and I

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

saw the I saw the the significance and

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21

the, genuity and genuineness of this man, I

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

fell in love with him. And I hated

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

to walk away with my back.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

And I felt like I don't know if

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

I if I would ever see him again

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

because he he was it wasn't clear whether

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

I was I mean, I would live long

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

enough or that he would live long enough

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

or that this would actually work. I I

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

knew very little about Islam. So the way

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

he walked away from the prophet

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

is that he walked away backwards.

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

So he'd walk he would walk backwards away

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

from the prophet and and someone asked him,

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

what are you doing?

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

I want to fill my eyes with

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

his face. I want to look at his

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

face for as long as I as I

00:14:55 --> 00:14:55

as I could

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

as I walked away. So I walked backwards

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

and looking at him for as long as

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

I could until I couldn't see him anymore.

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

And then he would go back to his

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

people and he performed Dawah there for a

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

number of years.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:08

And

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

time would pass, and this is the 7th,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

8th year. Would be another 10 years or

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

more before the prophet

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

performed

00:15:16 --> 00:15:17

or so a little bit more than 10

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

years. He would

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

ArabnAbsa would hear the prophet, alayhis salatu wa

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

salam,

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

so he would bring his people. And

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

come. And he had told everyone that, accepted

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

Islam with him that he had a half

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

his tribe was with him. That he knew

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

the prophet

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

You know, that's what he told them. In

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

his mind, he's like, well, III know him.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

Like, I know him, but, like, I don't

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

know if he knows me, but I know

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

I know him. I I spent it wasn't

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

a long time that I spent with him,

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

but I and that happens in life a

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

lot where you met the person. You you

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

were very happy that you met this person.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53

You doubt that this person ever remembers you

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

or will will remember you, especially if they're

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

a celebrity or if they're someone who's famous

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

or is very busy. You doubt that for

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

the 5 minutes that you stood there, shook

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

their hand, and asked them a question that

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

they'll remember that. But you will remember that

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

very well. That'll be a part of your

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

life that you'll never forget. You'll never forget

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

that piece. So Amr ibn Abi said, of

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

course, learned Islam and was teaching it. He

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

told him I I learned from the prophet,

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

alayhis. III spoke to him and this was

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

the conversation. So everyone's like, yeah. Well, he

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

knows Muhammad. He knows Muhammad. He's like, III

00:16:15 --> 00:16:18

hope he I don't know. So, you know,

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

he's in that position where where he's very

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

he's staying up all night as they are

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

going to Madinah to meet him, alaihis salaam.

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

He's like, I don't. What if I get

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

there and he doesn't yeah. He he was

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

worried because he didn't look really bad in

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

front of all the people that he spoke

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

to, and he's he's worried for their dean.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:34

He's worried for their, yeah, for their deen

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

because he, you know, the the the the

00:16:36 --> 00:16:37

accuse him maybe of not,

00:16:38 --> 00:16:39

of of him not of not not him

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

not being honest.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

So he he's making his way there and

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

yeah. And he they're all like, yeah. Don't

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

worry. I'm gonna up front. He'll he'll, you

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

know, he'll go and speak to the prophet

00:16:49 --> 00:16:49

It's

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

been 15 years since he saw him. Yeah.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:53

Again, it was a 1 time thing. I

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

don't know. So he's walking towards the prophet,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

alayhis salatu wa sallam, in the narration.

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

If he's very scared, like he's sweating, he's

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

hoping. And from afar, the prophet

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

And he comes

00:17:08 --> 00:17:09

to remember me.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

Of course, I remember you. And

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

you came that day and we said this

00:17:14 --> 00:17:15

and you said that to me and I

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

sent you back

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

and your people believed with you.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

Good for you.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

I think I think that piece of purse

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

that personality trait is very is very rare

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

these days. It really is. It's a very

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

rare personality trait where when you get to

00:17:33 --> 00:17:34

know someone, even for a short period of

00:17:34 --> 00:17:37

time, you take the time to know them.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

Like, I'm guilty of not being good at

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

that. Like, I'm not I'm not I'm not

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

gonna act like I'm I'm good at it.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

But but it's a very it's a beautiful

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

trait, really. Yeah. When when is when you

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

meet someone, you actually speak to them for

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

a few minutes. You take the time to

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

register somewhere who they are so that because

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

it's meaningful to someone.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

It's meaningful to anyone that you I've if

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

you met them once, when you meet them

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

again, that you don't act it's not like

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

you you're meeting them for the first time.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

Again, it's it's hard it's a little bit

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

hurtful and people feel devalued when that happens.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

Now you shouldn't. Don't you shouldn't because people

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

are are very busy and, you know, they

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

have a lot in their lives. But but

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

it's a beautiful trait to have. To have

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

that ability or take the time in your

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

in your to to get to know someone.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

And that's how he was alayhis salatu wa

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

sallam. And you'll find that this story that

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

I just told you, you'll find many examples

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

of it. Like, you'll find a lot of

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

replicas of the stories within his life

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

where he meets someone in a very short

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

period of time. Yet he'll meet him and

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

he'll meet him years later and still remember

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

remember the actual because he takes time to

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

get to know someone. He saw a value

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34

in human beings, alaihis salatu wa sama. He

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

invested a moment of himself in someone else.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

Sometimes in our the busyness of our lives

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

and the, you know, the fast lane that

00:18:40 --> 00:18:41

we live in, we just don't do that.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

We just, you know, shake a hand and

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

don't even maybe make eye contact. And and

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

someone introduces us for a second, we say,

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

and then that and then you forgot that

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

you ever met them. I do that unfortunately

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

more than I should. But

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

I think it's something we should learn from

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

him, alayhis salatu wa sallam. And you can

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

see how valuable that was for Amr ibn

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

Absa and how valuable that was for his

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

people. Yeah. Sometimes you you don't notice, you

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

don't realize that doing

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

good deeds like this can later on sometimes

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

be very very meaningful to others and actually

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

have a very, you know, positive impact in

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

in other situations. You don't know that or

00:19:14 --> 00:19:15

you don't you don't notice that, but it

00:19:15 --> 00:19:17

it it really does. And Amr ibn Abhisar

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

was was just overwhelmed with the prophet

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

remembered him, And then he performed by he

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

he performed Bea, and all of the all

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

of his, the people who came with him

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

performed Bea with the prophet, alayhis salatu wa

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

sallam. And he looked good because the prophet

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

knew him immediately. And he's and and the

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

people, I see. He he knows him. He

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

knows him.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

He didn't have to look bad.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

And there's a few other stories of of

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

of Dawah within the within the times of

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

Hajj during those 3 years, but that's really

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

all we got. I don't really have much

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

else, to tell because it was such a

00:19:48 --> 00:19:51

difficult time. It was just everyone trying to

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

to survive what they were going through. 3

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

men by the name of Al Mutaim, ibn

00:19:55 --> 00:19:59

Adi, and Abu Buhturi, ibn Hisham, and Hisham,

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

ibn Amor, which is the guy I told

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

I told you about a few weeks ago.

00:20:02 --> 00:20:03

So the guy I told you about a

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

few weeks ago, he didn't let it go.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

He thought that this boycott was completely

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

yeah. And he it was wrong. It was

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

oppressive and it was transgressive

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

and it had to end. So he he

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

was he he spoke to people and he

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

found the ears of 2 people. He found

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

that the was someone that we'll talk about

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

again.

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26

These 3 people agreed that this boycott of

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

the clan of Hashim is not appropriate.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

It's it's it's it's not right. They're not

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

Muslim and they're that that's not why they're

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

they're saying that. They just don't think that

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

this is the right way to go. So

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

they say, well, how do we end it?

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

What do we do? So they come up

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

with a plan. They come up with a

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

plan

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

and they they basically start to recruit some

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

younger people who are will who who who

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

agree. And they find maybe 10 to 15

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

people who have a similar opinion.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

The

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

agreement of the boycott

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

is coming to an end of its term.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

So there has to be a renewal of

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

it. It was that was coming in a

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

in in maybe a couple of days. So

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

they planned that what they would do is

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

is that they would disperse themselves amongst the

00:21:07 --> 00:21:07

crowd

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

And

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

1 person would call out that this is,

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

you know, offensive or it's oppressive or it's

00:21:14 --> 00:21:15

wrong. And then someone else will call it

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

from somewhere else. And then it would be

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

called out from all these places and it'll

00:21:18 --> 00:21:21

seem like it's the whole crowd is objecting

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

to it. If they're all sitting in 1

00:21:23 --> 00:21:24

spot, then it looks like there's just a

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

there's just a mob that doesn't like this

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

and they can be kinda singled out. So

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

they dispersed amongst the group to do this

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

to try and and that was their and

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

that was their,

00:21:35 --> 00:21:35

plan. So

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

the the time for the renewal of this

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

agreement came, and Abu Yihala, obviously, and Abu

00:21:40 --> 00:21:41

Sufyan and others

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

were there. And they, you know, they're pledge

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

they're asking for people to pledge to continue

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

this boycott until the the clan of Hashim

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

gives the prophet, alayhis salatu wasalam, up or

00:21:50 --> 00:21:52

they give up Islam altogether or whatever it

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

is that they're, you know, they they they

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

had demanded which is those are there are

00:21:55 --> 00:21:56

2 basic demands.

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

And as they're doing that, 1 person

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

calls from the crowd.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

This is a, you know, oppressive

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

statement

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

or or document.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

And then someone else from another part of

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

the crowd,

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

Jews, this is not acceptable. And then 1

00:22:15 --> 00:22:16

person and then 1 person all the 10

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

from different places and then basically they rallied

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

up and then a lot of noise start

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

to come from the crowd. Abu Sufyan stood

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

there and he looked at the and he

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

said,

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

this

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

is this someone someone plotted.

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

This is

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

this is something that was planned at nighttime

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

when no 1 was listening, and this is

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

this is not, spontaneous. Someone someone came up

00:22:36 --> 00:22:37

with something here.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

So now the whole crowd is demanding that

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

this boycott and and the, the leaders of

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

Quraysh are trying to argue back.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

In the meantime of all of this, what's

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

happening on the other side of, you ever

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

watch a movie where you kinda

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

stop and say, well, at the same time,

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

something else was happening. What happened at the

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

same time

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

was with the prophet alaihi salatu wa sallam,

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

came to him with Quran and told him

00:23:02 --> 00:23:03

that

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

that the termites had eaten the the document

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

inside the cap. Because it it was it

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

was sealed in inside like a wooden,

00:23:17 --> 00:23:17

yeah, and you

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

a carton of some sort. And that the

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

termites had eaten basically the whole document leaving

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

from it only the words

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27

on it. That's what Jibreel told the prophet

00:23:27 --> 00:23:28

So the prophet

00:23:29 --> 00:23:30

would go and tell Abu Talib that this

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

is what, this is what happened.

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

Abu Talib would say,

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

Allah, is your lord who told you this?

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

And he said, yes.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:39

So he got on his,

00:23:39 --> 00:23:41

on the back of his horse and he

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

would go. He would arrive as this whole

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

predicament is occurring.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

As, Abu Sofia and Abu Jahal are trying

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

to argue with the crowd and the crowd

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

is basically angrily arguing back, Abu Talib would

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

arrive.

00:23:55 --> 00:23:56

And he would tell

00:23:57 --> 00:23:58

them, the way to fix this, we can

00:23:58 --> 00:23:59

feel I I

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

if you you I I tell you that

00:24:02 --> 00:24:03

if you open the,

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

the ceiling of of where, you know, wherever

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

you sealed off the document to look at

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

it, you will find that there's nothing left

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

of it. Aside from the words everything

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

else in the in the in the name

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

of the Lord. Everything else will be gone.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

Right?

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

If that's the case if that's the case,

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

you end the boycott today.

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

And if it's not, that means my nephew

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

is, Yani is lying and and you guys

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

I'll give him to you. That's that's how

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

far I would thought it went. If if

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

he's lying, I'll give him to you. And

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

if he's not, you end the now.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

So Abu Jada was in the midst of

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

basically losing it with the with the crowd

00:24:33 --> 00:24:35

that the audience had had basically made the

00:24:35 --> 00:24:36

decision for them, and fighting them was a

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38

difficult day. They love this. It's perfect. Well,

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

the the odds of that is is next

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

to 0. That's probably not gonna be the

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

case. So they were happy to do that.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

So, of course, everyone leaves the,

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

the area and they move towards

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

the the door of the Kaaba. They have

00:24:49 --> 00:24:50

to get the person,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

a gentleman by the name of Othman. I

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

can't remember the name of of the father.

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

He would come in, and he would open

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

and he would open the, the Kaaba

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

and from the from the family of Abid

00:25:04 --> 00:25:07

Dar, was where he comes from. And, you

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

you would bring out the, the package of

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

where where the document is is in.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

Bring it in front of people. It opened

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

it up, and all of the, the termites

00:25:16 --> 00:25:19

would pull out with the with with whatever

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

was left of, of the of the paper

00:25:21 --> 00:25:23

that was eaten. As they, you know, kinda

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

look through, there they find just 1 piece

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

of the document. They pick it up and

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

and, and Abu Ta'a reads upon it. Bismik

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

Allah. How many shows it to people?

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

He shows it to people and

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

the boycott Abu Jahl had no choice but

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

to keep to his word, to to stick

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

to his word, and they would end the

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

boycott by then and there. At the end

00:25:41 --> 00:25:44

towards the end, or just after the most

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

of Hajj of 9th year. So just after

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

most of Hajj, you know, and just

00:25:48 --> 00:25:51

like these days now, just after Muslim Al

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

Hajj of the 9th year of his prophecy

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

they would end they would end the boycott.

00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

The Muslims would come out.

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

There is a moral victory for them.

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

Meaning, they didn't they didn't tap out. You

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

know? Sometimes you're weaker

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

and your opponent has you in a in

00:26:10 --> 00:26:10

a headlock.

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

Long as you don't tap out, even if

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

you stay there for a long time,

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

technically, you're still, you you kinda stand up

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

with that moral high. Like, if you you

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

that morale yeah. That morale you you have

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

a higher morale for a moment because you

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

you didn't tap out. The Muslims

00:26:24 --> 00:26:27

feel they're victorious. They're exhausted. They're extremely tired.

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

The the whole structure of what he was

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30

building was

00:26:31 --> 00:26:31

wrecked.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

They had not heard from the people in

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

Habasha for a while. The Muslims were basically

00:26:36 --> 00:26:38

in 2 in 3 camps. Yeah. The people

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

in the clan of Hashim, the people inside

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

Mecca, and the people in Habasha. So there's

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

a lot of, time where there was no

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

phones in it or anything. So that coordination

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

was very, very, minimal. The number of new

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

Muslims during that time was very, very low

00:26:50 --> 00:26:51

if any at all.

00:26:52 --> 00:26:53

And the people who are coming out of

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

the clan are starving. Like, they look different.

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

They are much thinner than they were before

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

when they went in. They have lost family

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

members. They have lost wealth. They have lost

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

their businesses. They've lost a lot. So it

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

was a difficult time for them. They, yeah,

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

They they they were victorious in terms of

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

the fact that they did not succumb. They

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

didn't submit. They didn't give up. They didn't

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

tap out. They stood their ground, which is

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

the point of this whole story. That they

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

stood their ground even though it was hard

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

to do so. But that doesn't take away

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

from the fact that this was very draining

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

for them. It was a very difficult time

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

for them.

00:27:25 --> 00:27:26

It was during this time

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

that,

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

Abu Lahab would would would pass away.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

Some scholars tell this story during the during

00:27:34 --> 00:27:35

the battle,

00:27:35 --> 00:27:37

of Badr, but I think this is where

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

most likely most likely occurred

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

and most likely occurred during this time.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

The narration that we have is that after

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

everything he did to the prophet

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

was whacked over the head by a servant

00:27:53 --> 00:27:54

of his.

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

It was a young lady

00:27:56 --> 00:27:57

whom he had

00:27:58 --> 00:27:58

basically

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

he he lashed her brother and she just

00:28:01 --> 00:28:02

whacked him over the head with a shovel.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

And she caused a,

00:28:04 --> 00:28:07

some sort of of infection in his in

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

his skull. And he became very ill. It

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

became ill to the point where at that

00:28:11 --> 00:28:14

time with lack of kind of proper medical

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

knowledge, they didn't know whether what he had

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

was was contagious or not. So they people

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

stopped going

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

his family left him because they thought it

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

was contagious.

00:28:23 --> 00:28:24

To the point where

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

he they would send him his food carried

00:28:28 --> 00:28:29

on the neck of a like, they would

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

tie it to the neck of a dog

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

and send it in the dog into the

00:28:32 --> 00:28:33

house so he could eat and then send

00:28:33 --> 00:28:35

the dog out again. Because if a dog

00:28:35 --> 00:28:36

gets sick and dies, it doesn't matter. That

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

that was their

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

their idea here. But he was and he

00:28:39 --> 00:28:40

was and he would spend,

00:28:41 --> 00:28:42

yeah, 2 or 3 weeks

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

of his life like that until he died.

00:28:45 --> 00:28:46

And when he died,

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

because they were so scared of it being

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

contagious even though it probably wasn't, they just,

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

you know, caved in the house upon him

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

because they didn't wanna go in and and

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

risk taking out someone who and that's how

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

Abu Dhabi died.

00:28:58 --> 00:28:59

And that's how the person who you know,

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

he persecuted the prophet alaihis salatu wa sallam

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

in his life. Yeah. He passed away. That

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

was

00:29:04 --> 00:29:05

don't

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

be taken

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

by

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

by the mightiness you see sometimes of people

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

in the peak of their lives.

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

Don't be taken by that. Don't be fooled

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

by it. Right? You see someone who's extremely

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

powerful and very rich and very capable,

00:29:23 --> 00:29:24

and they're doing whatever they want.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:26

As the Quran tells us.

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

Don't be fooled by the, the movement of

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

the, of your enemies in within the countries.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

May they may they own all the wealth

00:29:35 --> 00:29:37

and they run all the the businesses and

00:29:37 --> 00:29:38

they have all the yeah, the the the

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

armies and they make all the decisions and

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

don't don't be fooled by that. It's

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

a short period of time where they can

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

enjoy this. And then it goes away.

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

And once the the 1 who was once

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

very mighty and strong

00:29:51 --> 00:29:52

and and and capable

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

and and potent,

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

a time will come where that will not

00:29:56 --> 00:29:57

be the case. And even if you don't

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

see it for them within their lifetime,

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

you will see it for them on the

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

day of judgment. Abu Lahab was just an

00:30:03 --> 00:30:03

example.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

It was known that he was his ending

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

was going to be sad. From the the

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

fact that the Quran came and addressed him

00:30:12 --> 00:30:12

personally.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:15

And the Quran rarely addresses people personally by

00:30:15 --> 00:30:18

name. But he was addressed personally because he

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

hurt the prophet alaihi sallahu alaihi sallahu alaihi

00:30:20 --> 00:30:21

sallahu alaihi sallahu alaihi sallahu

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

alaihi sallam had no way to respond. He

00:30:23 --> 00:30:24

was family. He was blood.

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

Right? He stabbed him, alayhis salatu wa sallam,

00:30:27 --> 00:30:28

in his back in a way that he

00:30:28 --> 00:30:30

could not respond to him. He wasn't fair.

00:30:30 --> 00:30:30

It

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

you know, the the the the the relationships

00:30:41 --> 00:30:41

of kin

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

to the degree that he did, it wasn't

00:30:44 --> 00:30:46

fair that Abu'l was gonna do this. He

00:30:46 --> 00:30:46

couldn't respond

00:30:48 --> 00:30:49

And because of that,

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

it it it just wasn't other people would

00:30:51 --> 00:30:51

harm

00:30:52 --> 00:30:53

him and there would be a response, but

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

he couldn't do it with Abu Lah was

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

his uncle. He couldn't do it. And Abu

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

Lahab refused to respect that relationship that existed.

00:30:59 --> 00:31:00

And when when the boycott of the kind

00:31:00 --> 00:31:03

of Hashim happened, instead of going in and

00:31:03 --> 00:31:06

participating and standing by him, he he added

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

to the he, you know, he poured

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

fuel on the fire.

00:31:11 --> 00:31:12

And that was his ending. His ending was

00:31:12 --> 00:31:15

sad. His ending was was lonely

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

and was descriptive

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

of of the life that he lived and

00:31:19 --> 00:31:20

and what he did.

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

The end of year 9 and the beginning

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

of of year 10.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

The prophet, alayhis salatu as salam now,

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

they emerge from the the boycott. He's back

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

in his home, in Khadija.

00:31:33 --> 00:31:36

He has to start thinking immediately, okay, what

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

am I going to do now? This is

00:31:37 --> 00:31:37

not working.

00:31:38 --> 00:31:38

Just

00:31:39 --> 00:31:41

just because the boycott ended, it doesn't mean

00:31:41 --> 00:31:43

that his life is not in danger anymore.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

What started this boycott, if you remember, if

00:31:45 --> 00:31:47

you wanna go back with me just to

00:31:47 --> 00:31:48

remember what happened, the reason it happened is

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

because they started talking about assassinating

00:31:51 --> 00:31:53

him, of killing him. And when they said

00:31:53 --> 00:31:54

that, Abu Tarem said you we're gonna put

00:31:54 --> 00:31:56

you in a place where you're protected. And

00:31:56 --> 00:31:57

once he put them in the clan of

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

Hashem, they boycotted the whole clan. That's how

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

this story happened. So now that the boycott

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

is done 3 years later, it doesn't mean

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

that the people the the the leaders of

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

Quraish have decided that, okay, we're gonna let

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

him go. They're still thinking of killing him

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

alayhis salatu wa sarah. So he knows he

00:32:10 --> 00:32:11

has to get out of Makkah. He has

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

to leave Makkah at some point. Is this

00:32:13 --> 00:32:16

not safe? Or he needs a proper protection

00:32:16 --> 00:32:17

in Makkah. It can't just be

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

is getting older

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

and is family. He needs something outside of

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

his of the protection of his own family.

00:32:24 --> 00:32:25

So he has to start he starts thinking

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

about

00:32:26 --> 00:32:28

going out and seeking

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

aid and seeking support and seeking protection

00:32:31 --> 00:32:32

outside of Mecca.

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

He starts thinking he he thinks outside the

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

box again.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

He sent people to HaBaSha and now he's

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

like, okay. Mecca is no longer.

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

I can't I can't depend on Mecca. Mecca

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

is I can't I can't I'm not gonna

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

stay here long term. Right? So he starts

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

to think towards leaving Mecca and going and

00:32:47 --> 00:32:48

going outside.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:50

And then

00:32:52 --> 00:32:55

a month after the end of, or a

00:32:55 --> 00:32:56

month and a half after the end of

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

the boycott at the end of year 9,

00:32:58 --> 00:33:00

so early year 10, Abu Talib would would

00:33:00 --> 00:33:01

pass away.

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

Now whether he passed away as a Muslim

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

or a non Muslim, this is an issue

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

of difference of opinion amongst scholars. And,

00:33:07 --> 00:33:09

the more you look into it, the more

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

you find that there's there's lack of of

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

clarity on this issue. It doesn't really matter,

00:33:13 --> 00:33:14

because we leave that to Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:33:14 --> 00:33:16

Ta'ala. He's the 1 who judges. What we

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

do know is that the death of was

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

very very harmful and hurtful to the prophet

00:33:22 --> 00:33:23

on multiple levels.

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

Him losing

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

as the uncle that he looked up to,

00:33:28 --> 00:33:30

as the person who provided him with the

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

protection outside his home, Someone who protected him

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

within within Mecca. Someone who stood by him

00:33:36 --> 00:33:38

when no 1 1 else did. And for

00:33:38 --> 00:33:40

the prophet, alayhis salatu wa sallam, the nations

00:33:40 --> 00:33:42

that we have not to have seen him

00:33:43 --> 00:33:45

embrace Islam the way he wanted to. Whether

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

he did at the end or last moment

00:33:46 --> 00:33:48

is something that's behind between him and Allah.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

But the prophet, alayhis salatu wa sallam, did

00:33:50 --> 00:33:51

not see that with his own with his

00:33:51 --> 00:33:52

own eyes and the narrations that we have

00:33:52 --> 00:33:54

in Bukharim Usdul. They didn't get that. They

00:33:54 --> 00:33:56

asked for that ilaha illallah, and yet people

00:33:56 --> 00:33:58

were sitting right beside him telling him, now

00:33:58 --> 00:33:59

you're gonna leave you're gonna leave what Abdul

00:33:59 --> 00:34:01

Mabhairid did. You're gonna leave what Abdul Mabhairid

00:34:01 --> 00:34:02

did. How are you gonna leave what your

00:34:02 --> 00:34:03

your dad did? So he didn't get the

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

word, which hurt him, alayhis salatu wa sallam,

00:34:05 --> 00:34:07

because he wanted that for his, for his

00:34:07 --> 00:34:08

uncle. So it was a very it was

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

a very sad time for him, alayhis salatu

00:34:10 --> 00:34:12

wa sallam. It was very, very sad.

00:34:14 --> 00:34:15

I can say this. I can say that

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

if someone passes away in your family, you're

00:34:18 --> 00:34:20

not sure what their what their was. Like,

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

you're not sure exactly what it is that

00:34:22 --> 00:34:24

they did towards the end, whether whether they

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

where where where where there ended well for

00:34:26 --> 00:34:27

them or it didn't. Because at the end,

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

it's. Right? It's.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

It's having a good ending in your life.

00:34:31 --> 00:34:32

It's making sure that your life, concludes

00:34:33 --> 00:34:35

and you're filled with iman at the time.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:37

It's a different type of pain when you

00:34:37 --> 00:34:40

lose someone on that in that way. It's

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

a different type of pain. When you lose

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

someone that you love, it's it's it's very

00:34:43 --> 00:34:45

hard for sure. It it it it'll stay

00:34:45 --> 00:34:47

with you for the rest of your life.

00:34:47 --> 00:34:49

You'll always remember that person. It'll always have

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

there'll always be a gap. There's nothing no

00:34:51 --> 00:34:52

1 can fill in the gap of someone

00:34:52 --> 00:34:54

that you loved who passed away. Someone can

00:34:54 --> 00:34:56

come in, distract you, and offer you something

00:34:56 --> 00:34:58

new and add some beauty to your life,

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

but there'll always be

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

an empty space from that person. That's fine,

00:35:02 --> 00:35:04

by the way. Don't try to fill that

00:35:04 --> 00:35:06

void. It's not it's not fillable. Because you

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

just can't fill it. It's it's always gonna

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

be there. Embrace it. Accept it. Accept what

00:35:10 --> 00:35:12

comes with it, and you'll find that you

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

live way better. If you those who try

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

to fill in the void of someone who

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

who died will will just they spend their

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

lives looking for something they can't attain. Like,

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

they'll run they'll spend the rest of their

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

lives running after something that they'll net a

00:35:24 --> 00:35:25

mirage. You can't you can't do it. When

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

you lose someone, you lose them. That void

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

will will will be there. It's a part

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

of life. It's a part of life to

00:35:30 --> 00:35:32

lose the people that you that you love

00:35:32 --> 00:35:34

and to be lost at some point to

00:35:34 --> 00:35:34

for the,

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

for the people that that love you. And

00:35:37 --> 00:35:38

that's just a part of being being a

00:35:38 --> 00:35:39

human being and being a part of this

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

world. So the prophet Isaiah, it hurt him

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

to lose Abu Ta'ed, but but it's all

00:35:43 --> 00:35:44

it's a different thing when you lose someone,

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

you're not sure where their akhilah is, Like,

00:35:46 --> 00:35:47

where they're going on the day of judgment.

00:35:47 --> 00:35:49

That's that's a different story altogether. And that

00:35:50 --> 00:35:51

and that's the level of pain. That's why

00:35:51 --> 00:35:53

we have to put in as much effort

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

as possible in our lives to help the

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

people that we love, to be the best

00:35:57 --> 00:35:58

Muslims that we can be that that that

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

they can be. It doesn't mean that we

00:36:00 --> 00:36:01

force people.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:05

We make it difficult for them to be

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

around us. But we have to look

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

into methods

00:36:08 --> 00:36:12

to bring Islam closer to those who have

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

drifted away from it.

00:36:14 --> 00:36:16

Islam, if presented appropriately,

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

is it's hard to,

00:36:18 --> 00:36:20

it's hard not to accept it. Unless there

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

is a, like, a there has to be

00:36:22 --> 00:36:23

some personal

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

bias against it. Something

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

either you don't like there's something that you

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

you personally don't like about what about 1

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

of the rulings. Either 1 of the rulings

00:36:30 --> 00:36:31

is just not something that you're willing to

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

put up with or you have a bad

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

opinion about Muslims or Islam from before or

00:36:35 --> 00:36:37

there there has to be something personal or

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

you just don't care about religion altogether or

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

it's too much of a hustle hassle to

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

leave to leave your with with the, you

00:36:42 --> 00:36:44

know, the the social network that you're into

00:36:44 --> 00:36:45

something else. So there's too much benefit in

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

staying where you are. The status quo works

00:36:47 --> 00:36:49

for you, whatever it is. Islam

00:36:49 --> 00:36:52

presented appropriately and properly. It's very simple.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:55

It's very attractive. It's very clear. It's hard

00:36:55 --> 00:36:57

to rebuttal. It's hard to refuse and and

00:36:57 --> 00:36:57

refute.

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

Because it doesn't really there's not a lot

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

of clutter in our Islamic theology.

00:37:02 --> 00:37:03

There's not a lot of crazy stuff that

00:37:03 --> 00:37:05

you have to do. There's nothing

00:37:05 --> 00:37:07

that that insanity that you have to bring

00:37:07 --> 00:37:08

when you talk about other faiths and then,

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

yeah, in order for you to buy into

00:37:10 --> 00:37:11

this, there's a couple of crazy things you

00:37:11 --> 00:37:12

have to accept and crazy things you have

00:37:12 --> 00:37:14

to we don't have that in Islam. So

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

it's very it's in keeping with the logic

00:37:16 --> 00:37:17

that we have. It's in keeping with the

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

with the universe that we live in. And

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

it offers you a, you know, moral compass

00:37:21 --> 00:37:23

and and an ethical standard that is that

00:37:23 --> 00:37:25

is something that is beautiful. Everyone would love

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

to live that way, to live that in

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

in in like that ideally.

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

So when I see Muslims that don't want

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

to be Muslim, like, they they they're they're

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

far away from Islam. I know I know

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

that for the majority of them, it just

00:37:36 --> 00:37:38

was not presented properly.

00:37:38 --> 00:37:41

It wasn't presented properly. Whoever presented it presented

00:37:41 --> 00:37:42

it, and it was it was a it

00:37:42 --> 00:37:45

was a mutation of what Islam actually is.

00:37:45 --> 00:37:47

So make sure as someone who is a

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

parent or who is some someone who is

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

a Muslim and and maybe showing this Muslim

00:37:50 --> 00:37:52

Islam to other people younger than them or

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

people in their family, make sure you know

00:37:54 --> 00:37:55

what you're talking about before you talk about

00:37:55 --> 00:37:57

it. Like, make sure you know you you

00:37:57 --> 00:37:59

really know what you're talking about before you

00:37:59 --> 00:38:01

talk about it. Before you, Yani,

00:38:02 --> 00:38:04

express an opinion or share a thought or

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

or make a statement for someone, make sure

00:38:06 --> 00:38:09

that it's actually truthful before you do it.

00:38:09 --> 00:38:11

Because sometimes what you're gonna find when you

00:38:11 --> 00:38:13

study Islam, which is why we've I emphasize

00:38:13 --> 00:38:15

education so much here. I emphasize the importance

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

of people coming and learning their deen. Because

00:38:16 --> 00:38:18

you're gonna find that there's Islam and then

00:38:18 --> 00:38:20

there is what you inherited culturally.

00:38:21 --> 00:38:23

Like, there's whatever it is, wherever you grew

00:38:23 --> 00:38:24

up, whether you grew up in the gulf,

00:38:24 --> 00:38:26

in the Khaleed, in Saudi Arabia, or part

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

or whether you grew up in Yemen, or

00:38:28 --> 00:38:29

grew up in in Syria, and in Lebanon,

00:38:29 --> 00:38:31

and in Jordan, or you grew up in

00:38:31 --> 00:38:34

Egypt or grew up in the subcontinent of

00:38:34 --> 00:38:35

Pakistan, India or grew up in Turkey or

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

grew up in Northern Africa. Wherever you grew

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

up, there is a there's luggage. There's cultural

00:38:40 --> 00:38:43

luggage that you're bringing with you regarding Islam.

00:38:43 --> 00:38:46

That you think is Islam, but most likely

00:38:46 --> 00:38:48

is not. And if you force down the

00:38:48 --> 00:38:50

throat of a younger person who does not

00:38:50 --> 00:38:50

have

00:38:51 --> 00:38:53

the context that you had when you accepted

00:38:53 --> 00:38:55

that stuff. Right? And they look at it

00:38:55 --> 00:38:57

logically, it makes no sense to them. You

00:38:57 --> 00:38:59

repel them from the deen. They start saying,

00:38:59 --> 00:39:01

well, this deen seems to have a lot

00:39:01 --> 00:39:02

of irrational

00:39:03 --> 00:39:04

sides to it and they stop wanting to

00:39:04 --> 00:39:06

be a part of it. The problem is

00:39:06 --> 00:39:08

it what what what they're being forced to

00:39:08 --> 00:39:10

accept is actually not Islam. But by the

00:39:10 --> 00:39:13

time that comes to my attention to help

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

them, they're already made their decision long time

00:39:15 --> 00:39:17

ago. Like, they've already walked away from Islam

00:39:17 --> 00:39:19

and then nothing I can say say to

00:39:19 --> 00:39:20

them will will like, you know what? What

00:39:20 --> 00:39:21

I say in terms of, like, they I

00:39:21 --> 00:39:22

mean, what they told you about, this is

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

not true. Like, it's not the actual it's

00:39:24 --> 00:39:26

not what Islam says. Now the Quran actually

00:39:26 --> 00:39:27

teaches, but it's too late. It's too late.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

They've already they've already made up their narrative

00:39:29 --> 00:39:31

and they're gonna move forward with it. So

00:39:31 --> 00:39:34

be careful. Be careful of being someone, from

00:39:34 --> 00:39:35

being a or being someone who who who

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

yeah. I mean,

00:39:37 --> 00:39:40

repels people from the weight of Allah. If

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

you're not gonna bring people closer to the

00:39:42 --> 00:39:43

to Allah

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

at least don't repel them.

00:39:45 --> 00:39:47

Right? And I know I know this happens

00:39:47 --> 00:39:49

a lot because I can see people who

00:39:49 --> 00:39:50

are passionate about Islam, but they don't understand

00:39:50 --> 00:39:52

it well. And their attempt to bring people

00:39:52 --> 00:39:56

closer repels others farther. Like, I know what

00:39:56 --> 00:39:57

happens. Like, I can see it happen.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

Like, in real time, I'll watch it. I'll

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

watch the person come and repel someone farther

00:40:02 --> 00:40:05

away. And you tell them maybe you just

00:40:05 --> 00:40:06

stop talking.

00:40:07 --> 00:40:09

And it's hard to tell someone. You just

00:40:09 --> 00:40:10

need to

00:40:10 --> 00:40:11

just

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

stop it. You don't know it. Stop it.

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

But it's hard to say that sometimes. It's

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

hard.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:19

00I would love

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

I have a list of maybe 50 just

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

stop. Just bring them together. Just nothing. No.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

Not a word. Do don't talk about Islam

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

to anybody, but just yourself. Just yourself. Just

00:40:28 --> 00:40:30

talk to yourself, put the mirror and give

00:40:30 --> 00:40:32

dawah to yourself. Just leave people alone. Leave

00:40:32 --> 00:40:35

people alone. Because whatever it is that you

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

were taught does not this is this is

00:40:36 --> 00:40:38

so not what it is. It's so not

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

what it is.

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

And there's so many examples of this and

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

I've I've I have spent the majority of

00:40:43 --> 00:40:45

the last 10 years trying to

00:40:45 --> 00:40:46

talk about these things. Some of them, you

00:40:46 --> 00:40:49

know, especially the superstitious stuff, Yani. Especially the

00:40:49 --> 00:40:50

superstitious stuff, Yani.

00:40:51 --> 00:40:53

The the stuff that we we we forced

00:40:53 --> 00:40:55

upon our Islam, Nani. The possession of the

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

jinn possession and this overemphasis

00:40:57 --> 00:40:59

of of Assad and

00:40:59 --> 00:41:02

and, of course, magic. Magic is, Yani is

00:41:02 --> 00:41:05

that's the the the cutest of black magic.

00:41:05 --> 00:41:07

The emphasis of these things and bringing them

00:41:07 --> 00:41:08

into every household,

00:41:09 --> 00:41:11

Yani. And it's every situation and and and

00:41:11 --> 00:41:14

and this has to stop, oh, this has

00:41:14 --> 00:41:15

to stop. If you know people like that,

00:41:15 --> 00:41:18

please, Yaani, actively work against that. This is

00:41:18 --> 00:41:20

1 of the biggest repellents of Islam and

00:41:20 --> 00:41:22

it's and it's completely incorrect and it's harmful.

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

Like, people get harmed because of this. People

00:41:24 --> 00:41:26

people get physically and mentally

00:41:26 --> 00:41:29

harmed by this by by by this rhetoric

00:41:29 --> 00:41:30

and by these narratives. And there's a lot

00:41:30 --> 00:41:32

of other examples that, yeah, I I could

00:41:32 --> 00:41:34

I can weigh I can bore you with.

00:41:46 --> 00:41:49

The Quraysh couldn't touch me until died.

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

Now you hear that story. What do you

00:41:51 --> 00:41:53

mean? I've been telling you for at least

00:41:53 --> 00:41:54

4 months now, all these stories of how

00:41:54 --> 00:41:57

Quraysh harmed the prophet alayhis salatu wa sallam

00:41:57 --> 00:41:58

when Abu Talib was alive. But to him,

00:41:58 --> 00:42:00

it's like, no no no. That was nothing.

00:42:00 --> 00:42:03

The real harm happened after he passed away.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

Like, what happened when Abu Talib was a

00:42:05 --> 00:42:06

lie was no big deal. It was a

00:42:06 --> 00:42:08

little bit of, physical abuse here, a little

00:42:08 --> 00:42:09

bit of bad,

00:42:10 --> 00:42:11

bad mouthing here. Oh, that was not an

00:42:11 --> 00:42:14

it didn't bother me. Real harm happened after

00:42:14 --> 00:42:15

Abu Talib died.

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

So you can imagine the stories that, you

00:42:18 --> 00:42:19

know, that exist during this period that I'll

00:42:19 --> 00:42:21

I'll spare you from from listening to.

00:42:22 --> 00:42:24

And the idea of him being assassinated, it

00:42:24 --> 00:42:25

resurfaces.

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

It becomes the what people are talking about

00:42:27 --> 00:42:30

again. Abu Talib dies immediately that comes back

00:42:30 --> 00:42:32

to light. It was there. I guess it

00:42:32 --> 00:42:33

didn't die off but the moment Abu Talib

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

died that's what they they they met to

00:42:35 --> 00:42:37

talk about this again. So the prophet alaihis

00:42:37 --> 00:42:39

salatu wasalam was running out of time.

00:42:39 --> 00:42:40

He was running out of time. He had

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

to make he had to figure out his

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

disposition. Where was he going to be and

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

and how was he going to protect himself

00:42:48 --> 00:42:49

A week later.

00:42:50 --> 00:42:51

A week later.

00:42:53 --> 00:42:54

Talk about catastrophes.

00:42:55 --> 00:42:56

A week later.

00:42:56 --> 00:42:57

Abu Talib

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

would die a week later. Some narrations say

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

the next day.

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

Some narrations in the books of say the

00:43:04 --> 00:43:05

next day.

00:43:05 --> 00:43:07

I'm giving you, you know, something a little

00:43:07 --> 00:43:08

bit less dramatic.

00:43:09 --> 00:43:11

Khadija Al Khobar, alaihis salam, would would die

00:43:11 --> 00:43:13

as well. He would lose, alaihis salaam,

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

the support he had inside the house.

00:43:17 --> 00:43:19

Right? Now he had no support.

00:43:19 --> 00:43:20

Yani, his his his

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

his rock outside the house is gone, and

00:43:23 --> 00:43:26

his rock inside the house is gone. Now

00:43:26 --> 00:43:28

the person who was keeping him safe outside

00:43:28 --> 00:43:30

the house is no longer. And the person

00:43:30 --> 00:43:32

who kept his family together, the person that

00:43:32 --> 00:43:33

he could go to

00:43:33 --> 00:43:36

at the end of every difficult day and

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

find the support and the aid and the

00:43:38 --> 00:43:39

and the love

00:43:39 --> 00:43:40

and the strength

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

is no longer there. You know why she

00:43:43 --> 00:43:44

passed away?

00:43:44 --> 00:43:46

Because she didn't eat for 3 years.

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

Because she didn't leave she refused to go

00:43:50 --> 00:43:51

and eat outside in Mecca. She stayed with

00:43:51 --> 00:43:54

the prophet, alayhis salatu wa sallam. Even though

00:43:54 --> 00:43:56

she could have, she refused to and she

00:43:56 --> 00:43:58

grows so thin. She grew so thin and

00:43:58 --> 00:44:00

so weak that she just couldn't

00:44:00 --> 00:44:02

and then she passed away. She wasn't that

00:44:03 --> 00:44:04

old

00:44:04 --> 00:44:06

but that that's why she Abu Talib the

00:44:06 --> 00:44:08

same thing by the way. Abu Talib died

00:44:08 --> 00:44:10

because of the boycott. Abu Talib was a

00:44:10 --> 00:44:11

man in his late seventies.

00:44:11 --> 00:44:14

So 3 years of of starvation,

00:44:14 --> 00:44:16

yeah, it takes a toll on someone who's

00:44:16 --> 00:44:17

elderly. So he had not he didn't have

00:44:17 --> 00:44:19

a people are older don't have much reserve.

00:44:19 --> 00:44:21

They don't have much, physical reserve left in

00:44:21 --> 00:44:24

them. So the boycott basically sucked out sucked

00:44:24 --> 00:44:26

the life out of him. Right after that,

00:44:26 --> 00:44:28

he passed away. Khadija was the same thing.

00:44:28 --> 00:44:30

Khadija was a selfless type of person. So

00:44:30 --> 00:44:32

if there was food, she was gonna feed

00:44:32 --> 00:44:34

someone else. She wasn't gonna take it for

00:44:34 --> 00:44:35

herself. She was to make sure she fed

00:44:35 --> 00:44:37

her children or fed fed her neighbors, so

00:44:37 --> 00:44:39

she ate less than everyone else. And

00:44:40 --> 00:44:41

after the end of the boycott, the boycott

00:44:41 --> 00:44:43

they they they passed away after the boycott

00:44:43 --> 00:44:44

ends.

00:44:44 --> 00:44:45

It would have been 1 thing if they

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

if they passed away during the boycott because

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

that's a part but no. It's like the

00:44:49 --> 00:44:52

boycott ends, Alhamdulillah, we're done. Right? We're done.

00:44:52 --> 00:44:53

We can take a breath. You can take

00:44:53 --> 00:44:56

a breath, take a breather. Take a breather.

00:44:56 --> 00:44:58

Dies a week later, Khadija dies. This year,

00:44:59 --> 00:45:01

was called Amal Husun.

00:45:01 --> 00:45:03

This year was called the year of grief.

00:45:04 --> 00:45:06

3 the year of sadness.

00:45:06 --> 00:45:08

The 10th year of his of is

00:45:08 --> 00:45:10

called the Amal Husl. That's what it's called

00:45:10 --> 00:45:12

in all the books of Sila, by the

00:45:12 --> 00:45:13

way. The year of of grief.

00:45:14 --> 00:45:15

Because the prophet alaihi sallallahu alaihi sallam was

00:45:15 --> 00:45:17

never seen as sad as he was seen

00:45:17 --> 00:45:18

during that year.

00:45:18 --> 00:45:19

Because of the death of

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

and the close death of of Khadija.

00:45:22 --> 00:45:24

And something else I'll I'll tell you about

00:45:24 --> 00:45:25

if not today,

00:45:26 --> 00:45:27

next week as as well.

00:45:27 --> 00:45:29

Khadija. Let's talk about Khadija.

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

Let's talk about Khadija for a moment.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:34

Khadija,

00:45:36 --> 00:45:37

before she passed to him, she got really

00:45:37 --> 00:45:39

sick. Jibril would,

00:45:40 --> 00:45:41

would come back would come to the prophet

00:45:43 --> 00:45:44

for the first time without Quran.

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

Usually, every anytime he he's anytime the Jibril

00:45:48 --> 00:45:49

comes to the prophet, alayhi, his salat, so

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51

it's always Quran. There may be something else,

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

but there's always Quran.

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

But this time, 1 of the first time

00:45:54 --> 00:45:56

he came, there was no Quran. And he

00:45:56 --> 00:45:58

came specifically to do 1 thing.

00:45:58 --> 00:46:00

He came to tell the prophet, alayhis salatu.

00:46:04 --> 00:46:06

Read upon Khadija from her lord, peace and

00:46:06 --> 00:46:07

greetings.

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

So the prophet

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

would turn to Khadija, and he would he

00:46:11 --> 00:46:11

would tell her.

00:46:15 --> 00:46:15

That Allah

00:46:16 --> 00:46:18

sends, yeah, a peace his his peace and

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

greetings to you.

00:46:26 --> 00:46:27

Allah

00:46:27 --> 00:46:29

is a salam. That's his name.

00:46:30 --> 00:46:32

And he is the source of peace.

00:46:32 --> 00:46:34

He is the source of peace. Well,

00:46:35 --> 00:46:37

women who salam and all peace originates from

00:46:37 --> 00:46:38

him.

00:46:39 --> 00:46:41

Jibril Islam and I offered Jibril back, salams

00:46:41 --> 00:46:42

to him as well.

00:46:55 --> 00:46:56

Give Khadijah the good

00:46:57 --> 00:47:00

tidings or the glad tidings of a castle

00:47:00 --> 00:47:02

in Jannah that is made of a certain

00:47:02 --> 00:47:04

type of crystal that is hollow on the

00:47:04 --> 00:47:05

inside. It's called

00:47:06 --> 00:47:07

It's not,

00:47:08 --> 00:47:11

It's it's not, Yeah. I need the sugarcane.

00:47:13 --> 00:47:15

But is a type of crystal that is

00:47:15 --> 00:47:16

hollow on the inside.

00:47:16 --> 00:47:19

That, if you want to take some symbolism

00:47:19 --> 00:47:22

out of it, looks very similar to to

00:47:22 --> 00:47:23

to the cave the prophet

00:47:24 --> 00:47:26

sat in for 2 years while she took

00:47:26 --> 00:47:28

him food and sat with him.

00:47:28 --> 00:47:31

And put up with the whole story of,

00:47:31 --> 00:47:33

and him coming down. So

00:47:34 --> 00:47:36

whatever it is that you do good in

00:47:36 --> 00:47:38

this world, you will be rewarded of something

00:47:38 --> 00:47:38

that has similar

00:47:39 --> 00:47:41

a similar background too. So he

00:47:42 --> 00:47:44

told her you your your your your castle

00:47:44 --> 00:47:46

and Jannah is from is from this crystal

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

that looks like a like like

00:47:51 --> 00:47:52

There is no loud voices and screaming.

00:47:54 --> 00:47:56

And there's no tiredness in it anymore. There's

00:47:56 --> 00:47:56

no fatigue.

00:47:57 --> 00:47:57

Because

00:47:58 --> 00:47:59

her house was filled

00:48:00 --> 00:48:01

was filled with children.

00:48:02 --> 00:48:03

Was filled with either her children

00:48:03 --> 00:48:05

or the children the prophet

00:48:06 --> 00:48:08

brought into the home or the children of

00:48:08 --> 00:48:09

the neighbors or those who believed in him

00:48:10 --> 00:48:12

She was the mother that took care of

00:48:12 --> 00:48:13

most of these younger people.

00:48:13 --> 00:48:15

House was always full, so it was always

00:48:15 --> 00:48:17

noisy. It was filled with screaming. She was

00:48:17 --> 00:48:18

a mother who took care of a lot

00:48:18 --> 00:48:21

of children. She took care of Aliyah and

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

Jafarib

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

and Zaydib and Haritha. And she took care

00:48:24 --> 00:48:25

of her children

00:48:34 --> 00:48:36

So tell her that there's waiting for her

00:48:36 --> 00:48:37

in Jannah,

00:48:37 --> 00:48:38

a castle.

00:48:40 --> 00:48:40

There is no

00:48:41 --> 00:48:43

she's not gonna have a headache from all

00:48:43 --> 00:48:44

the sounds and the noises.

00:48:45 --> 00:48:47

There is no fatigue there either. She's not

00:48:47 --> 00:48:47

gonna

00:48:47 --> 00:48:49

be as tired as she is right now.

00:48:50 --> 00:48:51

And then she passed away

00:48:52 --> 00:48:54

within the within the next day.

00:48:55 --> 00:48:57

The prophet, alaihi sallahu alaihi sallam, never ever

00:48:57 --> 00:49:00

really got over the loss of Khadija.

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

He never really did. And this is something

00:49:02 --> 00:49:03

that you you will find

00:49:04 --> 00:49:05

in his life, alaihis salatu wa sama, when

00:49:05 --> 00:49:08

you study his life, yeah, very clearly. That

00:49:08 --> 00:49:09

he that the stories that we have about

00:49:09 --> 00:49:12

Khadija were 10 to 12 to 15 years

00:49:12 --> 00:49:13

after she had passed away.

00:49:14 --> 00:49:15

15 years after she had passed away, in

00:49:15 --> 00:49:17

the midst of Allah, she died she she

00:49:17 --> 00:49:19

passed away on the 10th year of Beyza.

00:49:19 --> 00:49:21

3 more years in in,

00:49:21 --> 00:49:24

in in in, in Mecca and then 10

00:49:24 --> 00:49:26

years in Madinah, at least. So 13 years,

00:49:26 --> 00:49:27

he would live after her.

00:49:28 --> 00:49:30

And you'll find to the end towards the

00:49:30 --> 00:49:31

end of his life, the stories are still

00:49:31 --> 00:49:34

there. Talking about how he talked about, how

00:49:34 --> 00:49:35

how he saw her to the point where

00:49:35 --> 00:49:38

whenever it's what Aisha tells us. Whenever,

00:49:38 --> 00:49:40

someone would bring a gift to the prophet,

00:49:40 --> 00:49:40

alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi,

00:49:40 --> 00:49:41

alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, alayhi, al

00:49:41 --> 00:49:43

whether it may be meat or or dates

00:49:43 --> 00:49:45

or anything of value, the prophet alaihi salatu

00:49:45 --> 00:49:48

wa sama would always immediately take a small

00:49:48 --> 00:49:50

portion or a portion of it and then

00:49:50 --> 00:49:52

wrap it up and send it. And Aisha

00:49:52 --> 00:49:54

would ask him, who is who is this?

00:49:56 --> 00:49:58

This is going to be sent to the

00:49:58 --> 00:50:00

friends of Khadija out of loyalty to Khadija

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

because he knew that she loved her these

00:50:03 --> 00:50:04

people. He

00:50:05 --> 00:50:06

out of loyalty to her would make sure

00:50:06 --> 00:50:08

that he gifted them something every time he

00:50:08 --> 00:50:10

had the chance to give them something, alaihi

00:50:10 --> 00:50:11

salatu wa salam. He was told

00:50:12 --> 00:50:14

a year or 2 later before he went

00:50:14 --> 00:50:16

to, to, to to Medina Because she passed

00:50:16 --> 00:50:18

away the 10th year, he want he's not

00:50:18 --> 00:50:19

gonna leave until 13th year. So there's a

00:50:19 --> 00:50:21

couple of years. Within those years, they were

00:50:21 --> 00:50:22

he was told,

00:50:24 --> 00:50:25

Why don't you get married? You see,

00:50:26 --> 00:50:27

I don't think we appreciate.

00:50:28 --> 00:50:29

He has at home

00:50:30 --> 00:50:32

he has at home he has at home

00:50:33 --> 00:50:36

and he is is married to, Uthman, Iben

00:50:36 --> 00:50:36

Afan.

00:50:37 --> 00:50:38

But he but he has at home,

00:50:39 --> 00:50:41

and so the Zaynab is is married to

00:50:42 --> 00:50:44

He has 2 teenage daughters at home

00:50:45 --> 00:50:46

He has at home

00:50:46 --> 00:50:48

and he has at home

00:50:49 --> 00:50:50

Living in the house. He has 2 teenage

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

daughters that she that Khadija has left left

00:50:53 --> 00:50:55

him behind. As along with that, he has

00:50:55 --> 00:50:57

the other children that,

00:50:57 --> 00:51:00

Khadija's children who are living there. Meaning, she

00:51:00 --> 00:51:02

left him she left this world at a

00:51:02 --> 00:51:03

time where the prophet

00:51:04 --> 00:51:06

really needed her. When you have 2 teenage

00:51:06 --> 00:51:06

daughters,

00:51:07 --> 00:51:09

as they say, they're they're coming towards a

00:51:09 --> 00:51:11

time where they get married, you need their

00:51:11 --> 00:51:12

mother there. You need their mother there to

00:51:12 --> 00:51:14

to to support them, to help them, to

00:51:14 --> 00:51:16

take care of them, to move them. And

00:51:16 --> 00:51:17

and now he's now he's a single father

00:51:17 --> 00:51:19

alaihis salatu wa salaam. On top of everything,

00:51:20 --> 00:51:22

on top of the fact that Islam is

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

is is not going to plan. This is

00:51:24 --> 00:51:26

an important piece. It wasn't going to plan.

00:51:26 --> 00:51:27

Like, Islam in terms of the evolution of

00:51:27 --> 00:51:29

Islam was not going to plan at all.

00:51:29 --> 00:51:31

Now they they were stranded in in 2

00:51:31 --> 00:51:32

continents,

00:51:32 --> 00:51:34

3 years of a boycott. He is not

00:51:34 --> 00:51:36

protected outside the house at all right now.

00:51:37 --> 00:51:38

And now he's losing her

00:51:39 --> 00:51:40

inside the house. He has no 1 to

00:51:40 --> 00:51:41

take care of his home. He has to

00:51:41 --> 00:51:43

now spend more time at home to take

00:51:43 --> 00:51:45

care of his daughters because he has that

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

responsibility.

00:51:46 --> 00:51:48

It was very difficult. And you would think

00:51:48 --> 00:51:49

that the first thing he would want to

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

do is be remarried to to to keep

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

his household, but he didn't. So they came

00:51:53 --> 00:51:54

and asked him

00:51:55 --> 00:51:57

why don't you get married? But his

00:51:57 --> 00:51:58

answer

00:51:59 --> 00:52:01

and and they did this after like they

00:52:01 --> 00:52:02

they no 1 would dare ask this question

00:52:02 --> 00:52:03

to him.

00:52:03 --> 00:52:05

They were always scared to ask him this,

00:52:06 --> 00:52:08

because they knew how he felt. And finally,

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

someone

00:52:09 --> 00:52:12

muscled up enough, courage to to to to

00:52:12 --> 00:52:13

state the question for him.

00:52:17 --> 00:52:19

And who and who can come after Khadija?

00:52:19 --> 00:52:21

And is there anyone who could possibly take

00:52:21 --> 00:52:22

the spot of Khadija?

00:52:26 --> 00:52:28

She was the mother of my children, and

00:52:28 --> 00:52:29

she was the queen of the house. She

00:52:29 --> 00:52:31

was the lord of the house. She took

00:52:31 --> 00:52:32

care of the house, and she was she

00:52:32 --> 00:52:34

was my she was my home. I I

00:52:34 --> 00:52:36

can't and he and he would refuse

00:52:36 --> 00:52:38

any form of of discussion on this issue.

00:52:38 --> 00:52:40

It it it only it would only be

00:52:40 --> 00:52:42

the 2nd year of Hijra that you get

00:52:42 --> 00:52:44

married. And he would marry Sauda bin Zama.

00:52:44 --> 00:52:46

That was his first wife. 85 year old

00:52:46 --> 00:52:47

Sauda bin Zama, the first widow,

00:52:48 --> 00:52:50

within Islam. Like the first lady who lost

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

a husband within battle with Sodom in Islam.

00:52:52 --> 00:52:54

He was 85 when the prophet, alayhi, salam

00:52:54 --> 00:52:55

married her.

00:52:57 --> 00:52:58

So this this idea of the prophet, alayhi,

00:52:58 --> 00:53:00

salam, being someone whom

00:53:08 --> 00:53:10

That if if he wanted to do this,

00:53:10 --> 00:53:11

then it would be a different very different

00:53:11 --> 00:53:12

story.

00:53:12 --> 00:53:14

It's very different. The Muhammad the man

00:53:15 --> 00:53:17

Muhammad the man married 1 lady. He married

00:53:17 --> 00:53:17

Khadija.

00:53:18 --> 00:53:21

Muhammad the prophet. Yes. He had different wives.

00:53:21 --> 00:53:22

Those wives Allah

00:53:23 --> 00:53:24

gave him, this is what you're going to

00:53:24 --> 00:53:26

do. You're going to bring the house of

00:53:26 --> 00:53:28

Arabia together. Because marriage, as you know, back

00:53:28 --> 00:53:30

in the day, was not just a was

00:53:30 --> 00:53:33

not just building a household. It was also

00:53:33 --> 00:53:35

a way to build alliances. It's how you

00:53:35 --> 00:53:38

brought tribes together. It's how you brought 2

00:53:38 --> 00:53:40

tribes together, 2 homes 2 houses

00:53:40 --> 00:53:42

2 houses that were fighting together. Marriage did

00:53:42 --> 00:53:44

that. So the prophet, alayhi, he married these

00:53:44 --> 00:53:46

ladies. When he married Aisha Sadiq or Hafsa

00:53:46 --> 00:53:47

bin Tadee'a

00:53:48 --> 00:53:50

bin Umar and and Juairi and Maria and,

00:53:50 --> 00:53:51

and Zainab.

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

When he married the and

00:53:54 --> 00:53:55

he married the and he married these ladies,

00:53:55 --> 00:53:57

he brought he brought the house together. And

00:53:57 --> 00:53:59

he had a, a wife from the important

00:53:59 --> 00:54:01

and he also granted these ladies

00:54:02 --> 00:54:04

not just political immunity but he granted them

00:54:04 --> 00:54:06

religious immunity. And he gave them the ability

00:54:06 --> 00:54:09

to actually continue to teach the deen on

00:54:09 --> 00:54:10

his behalf after that he passed away, and

00:54:10 --> 00:54:12

they were untouchable. And that was something that

00:54:12 --> 00:54:14

women had never seen in the in that

00:54:14 --> 00:54:15

in that time,

00:54:16 --> 00:54:17

to to say the least.

00:54:17 --> 00:54:19

So the the the wisdom behind him, alaihis

00:54:19 --> 00:54:22

salazar, marrying more than 1 wife after later

00:54:22 --> 00:54:24

on is simple, and we'll talk about it

00:54:24 --> 00:54:25

when we come to the to to the

00:54:25 --> 00:54:27

story of it. But as a person as

00:54:27 --> 00:54:28

a person who

00:54:28 --> 00:54:31

no. He he he loved her, alayhis salatu

00:54:31 --> 00:54:32

wa sallam. And he lived with her for

00:54:32 --> 00:54:33

25 years.

00:54:34 --> 00:54:36

Their marriage went on for 25 years. And

00:54:36 --> 00:54:37

he continued to love her for 13 years

00:54:37 --> 00:54:40

after she passed away. We're to the point

00:54:40 --> 00:54:40

where once,

00:54:43 --> 00:54:43

Yani,

00:54:44 --> 00:54:46

Aisha would tell us that she was never

00:54:46 --> 00:54:47

ever

00:54:47 --> 00:54:49

jealous of any of the wives. She didn't

00:54:49 --> 00:54:50

care.

00:54:52 --> 00:54:54

But the person she truly was jealous of

00:54:54 --> 00:54:56

was someone that had died before

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

she was able to before she could remember

00:54:59 --> 00:55:00

her. Like, she doesn't remember Khadija. That's what

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

she said. Like, I I was only jealous

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

of this lady who

00:55:05 --> 00:55:06

who

00:55:07 --> 00:55:09

there's nothing left of her. She she's gone.

00:55:09 --> 00:55:10

She's been gone for a long time.

00:55:11 --> 00:55:13

And why? Because every time

00:55:14 --> 00:55:17

something happens, he would, remember Khadija. Current Khadija.

00:55:18 --> 00:55:20

Send to the to to the, Yani, the,

00:55:21 --> 00:55:23

the the the friends of Khadija. He would

00:55:23 --> 00:55:25

talk about her often.

00:55:25 --> 00:55:27

And 1 time, she she finally got upset

00:55:28 --> 00:55:28

and she said,

00:55:29 --> 00:55:30

why

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

you keep on talking about Khadija? Allah gave

00:55:33 --> 00:55:34

you a better wife than Khadija.

00:55:36 --> 00:55:37

And he got upset.

00:55:39 --> 00:55:39

No. Never did.

00:55:41 --> 00:55:43

And Ayesha would say that I never I

00:55:43 --> 00:55:44

never did this again. Like, I never I

00:55:44 --> 00:55:46

never got upset when he talked about Khadija

00:55:46 --> 00:55:47

again. Let him him if he was talking

00:55:47 --> 00:55:48

about Khadija, let him do it. I wouldn't

00:55:48 --> 00:55:50

I I never crossed him again on this

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

topic.

00:55:55 --> 00:55:57

She believed in me when no 1 did.

00:56:01 --> 00:56:02

When people when people told me I was

00:56:02 --> 00:56:04

a when people didn't believe in what I

00:56:04 --> 00:56:06

had, she she believed in me.

00:56:08 --> 00:56:10

And she and she believed me, not just

00:56:10 --> 00:56:12

believed in me. She believed me when people

00:56:12 --> 00:56:13

told me I was a liar.

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

And she gave me she supported me with

00:56:19 --> 00:56:21

her wealth when people deprived me.

00:56:23 --> 00:56:25

Allah gave me a family with her.

00:56:27 --> 00:56:29

And I find in these words, not just

00:56:29 --> 00:56:30

Yani, a part of him that

00:56:31 --> 00:56:33

is sentimental and beautiful, but I also find

00:56:33 --> 00:56:36

something that is, I think, universal as well

00:56:36 --> 00:56:37

in terms of

00:56:40 --> 00:56:43

marriage. What women, in my opinion, sometimes don't

00:56:43 --> 00:56:45

see. And I I say this with a

00:56:45 --> 00:56:47

very limited experience I have with women in

00:56:47 --> 00:56:48

my life, so you don't think I'm some

00:56:48 --> 00:56:50

expert. But this is the limited experience that

00:56:50 --> 00:56:52

I have from listening to people run their

00:56:52 --> 00:56:54

mouths and and and talk and talk about

00:56:54 --> 00:56:54

stuff.

00:56:55 --> 00:56:58

I don't think women understand what men are

00:56:58 --> 00:57:00

really looking for when it comes to marriage.

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

Sometimes, I feel like it's not clear. And

00:57:02 --> 00:57:04

if and if a lady understands this, then

00:57:04 --> 00:57:06

then she's she's figured it out. See, this

00:57:06 --> 00:57:07

is what he said here, alaihis salatu wa

00:57:07 --> 00:57:09

ta'ala is what a man is looking for.

00:57:10 --> 00:57:12

He's looking for someone who when time is

00:57:12 --> 00:57:15

difficult for him, she makes it less difficult

00:57:15 --> 00:57:17

for him. That is what he's looking for.

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

That's what he values.

00:57:19 --> 00:57:20

When things are good,

00:57:21 --> 00:57:23

that's doesn't matter now. Okay. When when things

00:57:23 --> 00:57:25

are good, it's good. Come on. It's good.

00:57:25 --> 00:57:26

We can have a good time. We're gonna

00:57:26 --> 00:57:28

have a good time. You you so you

00:57:28 --> 00:57:29

made a good time better. Woo hoo. Good

00:57:29 --> 00:57:32

for you. It's about when when when

00:57:32 --> 00:57:34

because time will slap a man in the

00:57:34 --> 00:57:35

face pretty hard.

00:57:36 --> 00:57:39

It'll bury his ego pretty pretty viciously. It'll

00:57:39 --> 00:57:42

make him vulnerable and weak for sure. Life

00:57:42 --> 00:57:43

will for sure take care of that for

00:57:43 --> 00:57:45

a man. And a man, yeah, honey.

00:57:46 --> 00:57:48

That piece hurts. That that's what hurts a

00:57:48 --> 00:57:50

man is when he when he's on top

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

and he's doing well and he gets fired

00:57:52 --> 00:57:54

or he loses his wealth or he loses

00:57:54 --> 00:57:56

his status or he gets like, he runs

00:57:56 --> 00:57:58

into a problem where he's not the person

00:57:58 --> 00:57:59

he is trying to be anymore. And that

00:57:59 --> 00:58:01

moment when he is weak when he is

00:58:01 --> 00:58:04

weak, that's what he that's what he wants.

00:58:04 --> 00:58:06

He wants a wife that won't make him

00:58:06 --> 00:58:07

feel vulnerable,

00:58:08 --> 00:58:10

won't make him won't remind him that he

00:58:10 --> 00:58:12

was vulnerable, that she caught him vulnerable, that

00:58:12 --> 00:58:15

she saw him vulnerable. No. She will act

00:58:15 --> 00:58:16

like she didn't see him vulnerable.

00:58:17 --> 00:58:19

She will continue to treat him as if

00:58:19 --> 00:58:20

he is not,

00:58:20 --> 00:58:22

and she will make a difficult time less

00:58:22 --> 00:58:23

difficult for him,

00:58:24 --> 00:58:25

which is the majority

00:58:25 --> 00:58:27

of the time that's not what happens. And

00:58:27 --> 00:58:29

the majority of times where you find 2

00:58:29 --> 00:58:30

people who got who fell in love and

00:58:30 --> 00:58:32

got married, and then the the husband is

00:58:32 --> 00:58:34

no longer feeling what he used to feel

00:58:34 --> 00:58:35

before. And this is like the number 1

00:58:35 --> 00:58:38

complaint from every wife. He doesn't say what

00:58:38 --> 00:58:39

he used to. He doesn't write he doesn't

00:58:39 --> 00:58:41

do this yet. Yes, of course, he doesn't.

00:58:41 --> 00:58:43

Of course, he's not going to. Of of

00:58:43 --> 00:58:45

course, he's not going to. What are you

00:58:45 --> 00:58:46

what are you talking about? Go back into

00:58:46 --> 00:58:49

go back go back and look.

00:58:49 --> 00:58:51

If he went through a difficult time and

00:58:51 --> 00:58:53

you weren't there to make that difficult time

00:58:53 --> 00:58:55

easier. If he went through a difficult time,

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

you made that difficult time worse by continuously

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

complaining about things and how and and and

00:59:00 --> 00:59:02

pointing out how he didn't, then of course

00:59:02 --> 00:59:03

he's going he's not gonna feel the way

00:59:03 --> 00:59:05

you. And that's what a man's looking for.

00:59:05 --> 00:59:06

And I and forgive me. This is not

00:59:06 --> 00:59:08

I'm not trying to blame my sisters here.

00:59:08 --> 00:59:10

Men have their own set of,

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

set of flaws that

00:59:13 --> 00:59:15

that would take a year of of lessons

00:59:15 --> 00:59:17

to talk about the flaws men carry within

00:59:17 --> 00:59:19

their marriage. But I'm pointing out here what

00:59:19 --> 00:59:21

the prophet alaihi sallam said, I think it's

00:59:21 --> 00:59:23

universal. Like, I don't think it's just about

00:59:23 --> 00:59:24

him alaihi sallahu alaihi sallahu alaihi sallahu alaihi

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

sallahu alaihi sallahu alaihi sallahu alaihi sallahu alaihi

00:59:24 --> 00:59:25

sallam. I think it's about what he I

00:59:25 --> 00:59:28

think he expressed what men want. I think

00:59:28 --> 00:59:29

in those words, he said, this is why

00:59:29 --> 00:59:31

she is so I love her so much.

00:59:31 --> 00:59:34

Because at my lowest point, when I ran

00:59:34 --> 00:59:36

down that mountain and I was saying something

00:59:36 --> 00:59:38

that every other human being on the planet

00:59:38 --> 00:59:40

would call me crazy for saying, and they

00:59:40 --> 00:59:42

did. They called him Majnoon for saying

00:59:43 --> 00:59:43

it

00:59:44 --> 00:59:45

that people are gonna call me that. And

00:59:45 --> 00:59:46

I was going to lose everything I had

00:59:46 --> 00:59:47

and lose my reputation.

00:59:48 --> 00:59:50

At that moment is where she she stood

00:59:50 --> 00:59:52

she she rose to the occasion.

00:59:52 --> 00:59:55

And she supported me in every way possible.

00:59:56 --> 00:59:57

So he can never forget that, alayhis salatu

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

wa sama. Obviously, it takes a man who

00:59:59 --> 01:00:02

has good ethics and loyalty to to notice

01:00:02 --> 01:00:04

that she did that, but that's what stuck

01:00:04 --> 01:00:06

with him. For so to him,

01:00:06 --> 01:00:09

that's why it was Khadija and no 1

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

else

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

aside from her.

01:00:12 --> 01:00:14

He lost his 2 his 2 main supporters

01:00:14 --> 01:00:15

alayhis salatu wa sallam.

01:00:16 --> 01:00:16

Almost

01:00:16 --> 01:00:18

yeah. So this is the question I ask.

01:00:22 --> 01:00:23

Why now?

01:00:24 --> 01:00:26

Out of all the times that you could

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

think of and see a lot,

01:00:27 --> 01:00:29

why would they die now?

01:00:29 --> 01:00:31

I always thought that the better time for

01:00:31 --> 01:00:32

them to die is like

01:00:33 --> 01:00:35

after Right? After after after after she passes

01:00:35 --> 01:00:36

away, he passes away.

01:00:37 --> 01:00:38

But

01:00:38 --> 01:00:41

now why now? This is this is absolutely

01:00:41 --> 01:00:44

the worst timing for them to die. Out

01:00:44 --> 01:00:46

of all the times, this is not it.

01:00:46 --> 01:00:48

I Connie, this is not the time to

01:00:48 --> 01:00:50

die. I I don't have any support or

01:00:50 --> 01:00:52

protection. I will thought if you go ahead

01:00:52 --> 01:00:53

and die,

01:00:54 --> 01:00:55

and now I don't have protection outside. I

01:00:55 --> 01:00:57

need my house to be solid and now

01:00:57 --> 01:00:58

he goes and she dies. So why is

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

this happening to him, alayhis salatu wa sallam?

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

Right? When you think about it, why is

01:01:01 --> 01:01:04

this ongoing, these trials that don't seem to

01:01:04 --> 01:01:06

end? Like, it's like every time it gets

01:01:06 --> 01:01:07

bad, you think it's gonna get better, it

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

gets worse again. And then you think it's

01:01:09 --> 01:01:11

gonna better, it gets worse again. It keeps

01:01:11 --> 01:01:13

on getting worse and you're like, why is

01:01:13 --> 01:01:15

that the case? You see the prophet had

01:01:15 --> 01:01:17

to come to the conclusion that we all

01:01:17 --> 01:01:19

have to come to. That the only support

01:01:19 --> 01:01:21

that you actually have in life is Allah

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

That is not a outside the house and

01:01:24 --> 01:01:26

and and Khadija inside the house in and

01:01:26 --> 01:01:27

and and it's not none of them. It's

01:01:27 --> 01:01:29

Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And it's always been

01:01:29 --> 01:01:31

only Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And, yes, you

01:01:31 --> 01:01:34

will utilize your network. You will utilize your

01:01:34 --> 01:01:36

relationships and you will seek. He's not going

01:01:36 --> 01:01:38

to because of this, he's not gonna sit

01:01:38 --> 01:01:39

there and not go seek protection. No. He's

01:01:39 --> 01:01:41

gonna go seek protection from tribes and get

01:01:41 --> 01:01:44

it. But his attitude towards it is going

01:01:44 --> 01:01:45

to be slightly different.

01:01:46 --> 01:01:48

His understanding of it is going to be

01:01:48 --> 01:01:49

slightly more mature

01:01:49 --> 01:01:51

just like ours is going to be as

01:01:51 --> 01:01:53

well. That, yes, you seek that protection, you

01:01:53 --> 01:01:55

seek that support, but you remember that it's

01:01:55 --> 01:01:56

not the person.

01:01:57 --> 01:01:58

It is Allah

01:01:59 --> 01:01:59

alone,

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

always has been and always will. And it

01:02:02 --> 01:02:04

had to be this very difficult

01:02:05 --> 01:02:07

time in his life to the point where

01:02:07 --> 01:02:08

the year was called the year of grief

01:02:08 --> 01:02:09

where he would lose

01:02:10 --> 01:02:12

the most beloved people to him, like, aside

01:02:12 --> 01:02:13

from his supporters. He loved them more than

01:02:13 --> 01:02:15

he loved anyone else. He loved his uncle,

01:02:15 --> 01:02:16

Botore, more than he loved any other relative.

01:02:16 --> 01:02:18

He loved his wife more than he loved

01:02:18 --> 01:02:20

any other person. He lost them both within

01:02:20 --> 01:02:20

a week.

01:02:22 --> 01:02:23

And so that his heart and his mind,

01:02:23 --> 01:02:25

alayhis salatu wa sallam, is directed in the

01:02:25 --> 01:02:26

right direction. That

01:02:27 --> 01:02:29

he knows where who to depend upon. It's

01:02:29 --> 01:02:30

a

01:02:30 --> 01:02:31

loss

01:02:31 --> 01:02:33

Don't don't let yes. Use your use your

01:02:33 --> 01:02:36

network and utilize and exhaust your resource and

01:02:36 --> 01:02:37

utilize all

01:02:37 --> 01:02:39

the connections that you have and all that.

01:02:39 --> 01:02:41

But it's a loss. It's not if if

01:02:41 --> 01:02:43

you start depending on people, then you're going

01:02:43 --> 01:02:46

to be, first of all, very, very disappointed

01:02:46 --> 01:02:46

at the end.

01:02:47 --> 01:02:49

And it's not true. Like, it's not

01:02:49 --> 01:02:50

real. It's not.

01:02:51 --> 01:02:53

Your dependence has to be upon Allah

01:02:54 --> 01:02:56

And another reason why Abu Talib had to

01:02:56 --> 01:02:58

die early on. If Abu Talib didn't, you

01:02:58 --> 01:03:00

know what would happen? This is an interesting

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

piece that I always thought was worthy of

01:03:01 --> 01:03:04

reflection. Had Abu Talib not died at this

01:03:04 --> 01:03:06

point, then the story of Islam would have

01:03:06 --> 01:03:07

been the story of a family.

01:03:08 --> 01:03:10

A person who had a message and was

01:03:10 --> 01:03:11

protected

01:03:11 --> 01:03:13

by his family. And Islam was is a

01:03:13 --> 01:03:15

it becomes a family story. It becomes it's

01:03:15 --> 01:03:17

it's not really Islam, it's the way of

01:03:17 --> 01:03:19

Banu Hashim. It becomes the way of this

01:03:19 --> 01:03:21

family. So the Abu Talib had to be

01:03:21 --> 01:03:22

out of the picture so that the prophet,

01:03:22 --> 01:03:24

alayhis salatu, will get protected from people who

01:03:24 --> 01:03:26

are not his family, and he's going to

01:03:26 --> 01:03:28

get protected exactly by that. And when I

01:03:28 --> 01:03:30

say not his family, I'm not saying as

01:03:30 --> 01:03:32

in not his first relative. No. He's gonna

01:03:32 --> 01:03:35

seek protection in people who are not related

01:03:35 --> 01:03:37

to his lineage at all. If you remember

01:03:37 --> 01:03:39

the first couple of lessons we did here,

01:03:39 --> 01:03:40

I talked to you about the Arab being

01:03:40 --> 01:03:43

2 separate lineages that only actually unite

01:03:44 --> 01:03:47

at Nuh alaihis salam. The lineage of Ibrahim,

01:03:47 --> 01:03:49

the the Ishmaelites of the land, Adnan the

01:03:49 --> 01:03:51

Adnanites as they call them, and the Kaftanites,

01:03:51 --> 01:03:52

the Kaftaniin

01:03:53 --> 01:03:54

who who who come from the lineage of

01:03:54 --> 01:03:57

Hud, alaihi salaam, going back to Ibrahim. They

01:03:57 --> 01:03:59

are not they are they they are different

01:03:59 --> 01:04:00

in every way. The only thing they have

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

in common is the language

01:04:02 --> 01:04:03

that sits in the land they live on,

01:04:03 --> 01:04:05

but they're different in every way.

01:04:06 --> 01:04:07

Abu Talib, had he lived on had he

01:04:07 --> 01:04:09

lived on for and protected the prophet alaihis

01:04:09 --> 01:04:11

salam all throughout his life, then this story

01:04:11 --> 01:04:12

would be a story of a family. It's

01:04:12 --> 01:04:13

not a story of a family.

01:04:14 --> 01:04:16

Islam is not for a specific group or

01:04:16 --> 01:04:18

specific race or specific family or specific culture

01:04:18 --> 01:04:19

or background. No.

01:04:19 --> 01:04:22

Islam is for Islam is something that is

01:04:22 --> 01:04:23

it's a message for all human beings. So

01:04:23 --> 01:04:25

the death of Abu Talib is actually extremely

01:04:25 --> 01:04:26

important in this

01:04:27 --> 01:04:28

whole story at this time.

01:04:29 --> 01:04:30

This is what I'm gonna end with because

01:04:30 --> 01:04:31

we have to go for Maghrib.

01:04:33 --> 01:04:35

He lost these people at this time in

01:04:35 --> 01:04:37

his life at the darkest

01:04:37 --> 01:04:40

and lowest moment of his prophecy to date.

01:04:40 --> 01:04:42

This is the worst time he's been through

01:04:42 --> 01:04:44

to date alayhi salatu wa salam.

01:04:44 --> 01:04:46

He lost it all so that he would

01:04:46 --> 01:04:47

learn this.

01:04:47 --> 01:04:49

So that you and I would also learn

01:04:49 --> 01:04:50

the concept of tawakkul.

01:04:51 --> 01:04:53

Because this is the most powerful tool kit

01:04:53 --> 01:04:55

in your tool kit. This is the most

01:04:55 --> 01:04:57

powerful tool you have in your tool kit

01:04:57 --> 01:04:59

as a Muslim. You have to understand it.

01:04:59 --> 01:05:01

You have to make sure your kids understand

01:05:01 --> 01:05:02

it. So when they grow up, they comprehend

01:05:02 --> 01:05:05

what tawakkul actually means so they know how

01:05:05 --> 01:05:07

to practice it appropriately. Because if they don't

01:05:07 --> 01:05:09

if they don't, then I'm life is not

01:05:09 --> 01:05:12

a, is is not a kind teacher. Life

01:05:12 --> 01:05:14

is not a kind teacher. If you wait

01:05:14 --> 01:05:15

for life to teach you lessons, you yeah.

01:05:15 --> 01:05:18

But you'll learn them, but it it life

01:05:18 --> 01:05:19

scars you when it does. It's it's it

01:05:19 --> 01:05:22

traumatizes you. Learn them early on. Understand what

01:05:22 --> 01:05:24

means early on. The prophet, alayhis salatu wa

01:05:24 --> 01:05:26

sallam, he he he this is when this

01:05:26 --> 01:05:27

is when was revealed to him, alayhi sala.

01:05:27 --> 01:05:29

This is when this is when he had

01:05:29 --> 01:05:32

to actually learn this lesson. Understood what actually

01:05:32 --> 01:05:32

meant.

01:05:33 --> 01:05:35

The dependence in your heart being upon Allah

01:05:35 --> 01:05:38

subhanahu wa ta'ala. And what that actually dictates

01:05:38 --> 01:05:40

and what it requires. I will talk about

01:05:40 --> 01:05:40

that

01:05:42 --> 01:05:44

next next week when, in the next halaqah.

01:05:44 --> 01:05:44

So,

01:05:45 --> 01:05:46

please look that up and think about it

01:05:46 --> 01:05:48

a little bit so that you you understand

01:05:48 --> 01:05:49

it. We'll go for
