He started to look for other ways to

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

get to spread Islam and to and to

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

work out his his plan.

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

And the the mainstay of this plan was

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

to

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

pursue,

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

support from outside of Quraysh, outside of Mecca,

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

which was a difficult decision for him because

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

Quraish is his family

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

and Mecca is his home. So he looked,

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

in for support, he didn't find that, and

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

then he utilized

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

at the end of 10th year during during

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

the Musa al Hajj. So when we're going

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

through the years of the prophet alaihis salaam's

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

life, we're using the Hijri calendar not the

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

Gregorian. Right? So,

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

the 10th year of his prophecy alaihis salaam

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

we talked about the 10th year of Hajj

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

right at the end. And Hajj is at

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

the last in the last month of the

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

Hijri calendar. So he would go and speak

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

to 26 or 27 tribes

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

and, no one would respond to him aside

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

from 6 young people from Yefirib,

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

all from Khazraj. He they would go back

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

with the intention of coming back a year

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

later

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

with some,

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

extra individuals who would be from the opposite

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

tribe, an oath because the ongoing war would

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

make it very awkward if the prophet alaihi

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

sallallahu alaihi sallam came with only the support

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

of the tribal Khazraj. He would would become

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

the prophet of that tribe, the the other

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

one wouldn't wouldn't listen to him. So he

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

waited for a year

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

and they came back, 12 of them,

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

and that's what we talked about last week,

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

and they gave the prophet

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

They pledged the prophet

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

certain things and the pledge

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

was not really

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

anything but ethical aspects.

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

Tawhid obviously,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

the first aspect

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

of the pledge that they gave the Prophet

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

at the end. This is the 11th year

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

of Hajj, right? The Hajj of 11th year.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

So a full year of Bai. We don't

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

have a lot of

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

information about what happened in that year. We

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

just don't because we don't have narrations that

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

were produced during that period.

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

So, the Hajj of 11th year, the prophet

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

would meet these 12 individuals

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

at

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

where this Masjid is that you're looking at,

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

it's called Masjid Al Bayah, it's close to

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

Al Aqaba in Mina. So he would meet

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

them there and they would give a pledge

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

of not performing shirk.

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

And then all the other

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

articles of this pledge were not to commit

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

murder and not to steal and not to

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

commit zina and not to lie and not

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

to cheat and not to betray. All ethical.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

No. He asked them, okay,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

and then behave. You have to behave. Here's

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

the standard. Here's the standard of ethics that

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

we carry. You cannot dip below this. If

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

you do, this is not going to work.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

So, accept

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

then go behave appropriately.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

Come back and I'm gonna send with you

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

I'm gonna send with you someone to perform

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

dawah in Madinah. So

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

in the Hajj of 11th year, once they

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

gave him their pledge

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

the 12 people, there are 2 women amongst

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

them.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

He sent back with them, Sayyidina Musaab ibn

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

Umayr

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

We talked about him a little bit in

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

the last

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

session, and we'll talk about him during the

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

battle of Uhud again, insha Allahu Ta'ala. And

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

Musaab

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

was an extremely knowledgeable sahabi,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

and he was someone who had proven

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

his the he's proven had proven his dedication

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

and devotion. This is someone who gave up

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

literally everything. He gave up all of his

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

wealth, all of his status. He gave up

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

gave up his family. He gave up a

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

trajectory

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

of iz,

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

I talked about this every once in a

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

while in the seal of the Prophet alaihis

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

salam because I think it's very important for

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

you to contemplate.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

When you commit

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

to Allah

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

will and you follow Allah

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

teachings,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

please don't be in the mindset that you

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

expect

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

of expecting that Allah

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

just works everything out for you the way

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

you want it to work out.

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

If you enter with that expectation, you're going

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

to harm yourself. Like if you enter with

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

that in mind that I'm giving up all

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

these things for you, I expect I expect

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

the red carpet in life. I expect everything

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

to be exactly the way I want. Eventually

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

I want everything,

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

and more, and more than If you're expecting

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

that in dunya,

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

like in this life, then you're gonna Yeah.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

You haven't understood this,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

this agreement that you have with Allah

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

You will get exactly what you want and

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

more, but that's gonna happen on the day

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

of judgement. That's gonna happen in Alakhirah. In

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

duniya, it's hit or miss. It's whatever Allah

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

has has decreed for you. It's whatever your

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

ula and qadr carry

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

and hide. Allahu'ala.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

Mus'aab lost everything

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

to be with the prophet alaihis

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

salam, never made it up.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

He never got anything back.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

And he died

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

way before Islam became a strong

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

power within Arabia. Like Alar al Sahaba of

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

his age

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

lived years decades after the Prophet alaihis salatu

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

wa sallam. And they saw the, the treasures

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

of Kisra being

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

brought

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

back from Persia and put at the feet

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

of Al Muqadd. They saw

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

the conquering

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

of Egypt

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

and the

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

far west, and they saw the Muslim

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

armies being able

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

to enter parts of India. They saw that

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

with their own eyes who were there. He

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

didn't.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

He's gonna pass away in Uhud. He's going

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

to be martyred in Uhud

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

He literally is the example of someone who

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

gave everything and got nothing in return. So

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

for the sahaba that was his that's how

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

they remembered him. He was a sore spot

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

for all of them.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

Like they always held themselves

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

to his example. Like we they always felt

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

like, Yeah, but Mus'aab was different. Mus'aab is

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

he's the guy. He's

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

the person who

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

actually sacrificed and gave everything. We can't And

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

of course all of them did, but that's

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

how they felt about him.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

An example of of something being more important

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

than the Prophet alaihis salatu wa sallam choosing

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

someone to go represent him during this extremely

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

critical time of his of his prophecy. This

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

has to work. Musaab has to get this

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

done. Musaab has to succeed in

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

representing the Prophet

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

and representing Islam, performing dawah. If he fails,

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

then

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

You have to go back to the drawing

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

board, and the drawing board is broken. Like

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

there's not much to go back to. Like

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

what exactly is he going to figure out

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

He spoke to everyone in Arabia.

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

There are no windows, there's no there are

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

no doors.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

So this has to work. So he had

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

to his choice here

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

is I always whenever I'm hearing this, I

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

always thought that why didn't he choose like

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

Abu Bakr,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

right? Or Omar. Someone that literally would represent

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

him

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

later in life, like after he passed away

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

alayhis salatu wasalam, he's Abu Bakr and Omar

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

Uthman He chose Musaab

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

And Musaab is in his early twenties.

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

Think about the early 20s.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

You're choosing a 22 year old

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

to go represent you.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

To me, that's a big deal.

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

For a 50, yeah, 92 year old man

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

alaihis salatu wa sallam at that point 52.

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

Choose a 21 year old boy

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

to go and represent him and perform the

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

dawah and teach the deen, that means this

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

individual is Yani,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

light years ahead of his time.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

He is someone who's light years because it's

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

not enough just to be dedicated.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

That's not enough. If that was enough, then

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

okay, this argument, this discussion becomes easier. But

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

it's actually that's not enough.

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

He has to be extremely knowledgeable,

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

and he has to have the proper mindset.

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

And he has to know how to speak

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

to people, He has to know how to

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

listen to people. He has to know what

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

to prioritize in terms of what he asked

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

them to do. He has to bring people

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

together. He's going to deal with 2 tribes

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

that hate each other. He has to be

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

able to be the glue that brings them

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

to post. These are social skills that are

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

very difficult. You have to take courses upon

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

courses upon seminars, and go to to learn

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

how to do this stuff. Where did Musa'a

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

figure out how to do all of this?

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

Yeah. Honestly, I I when I think about

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

it, I don't I don't know where Mus'ab

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

How did he learn to be the person

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

he was?

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

Because you have to be someone who has

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

no ego at all, who loves da'wah. All

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

you care for is that people accept Islam.

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

And you are willing to put your all

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

day and all night for this cause.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

And you have to have a certain charisma

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

to you. And you have to have a

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

certain you have to be you have to

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

speak in a certain way and and be

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

in a be a certain way.

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

And he was. And that's why the prophet

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam chose him,

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

to to represent him.

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

And Mus'ab was the was the Prophet alaihi

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

sallallahu alaihi sallam's messenger. He would go with,

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

I think I think this is the one

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

after. Isn't it?

00:08:53 --> 00:08:54

So he would stay at the at the

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

the house of Asad ibn Zurara

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

And these are 2 giants within our Islamic

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

history. Mus'ab at this point, 22,

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

23, something like that. Asad, same thing, 21,

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

20, 21, very young. So 2 early 20

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

young men.

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

Giants of our Islamic history. These two people

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

are going to change how this works.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

These two people are on his behalf, alayhi

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

salatu wa sallam, going to make this happen.

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

He he has put his you see, here's

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

the point I'm trying to make that I'm

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

kinda just dancing around. Had the Prophet

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

not empowered people,

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

had he not had the habit of empowering

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

people, had they not been in the habit

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

of being empowered by him this would never

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

have happened.

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

It's way too difficult for him to send

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

someone 400 kilometers to go speak to 2

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

fighting tribes and then trust that this person's

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

gonna do a good job. It's way too

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

complicated like I don't know how Unless for

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

the last 13 years or 12 years in

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

Mecca, that's all he's been doing

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

He's entrusting people with tasks of importance.

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

Unless all he's been doing over the last

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01

decade is training people and then empowering them

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

and giving them responsibilities and allowing them to

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

work on his behalf and then coming back

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

and teaching them, so he felt very comfortable

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

sending these individuals to go and do the

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

job.

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

That's that's why, really. That's why. So really

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

what I'm complaining about is not the 20

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

year olds, I'm complaining about the 50 year

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

olds. That's what I'm complaining about. I'm complaining

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

about the older generation that are not doing

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

their job with the younger generation of empowering

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

them and and and and entrusting them with

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

tasks of importance and giving them responsibility and

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

giving them autonomy to do the job so

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

that they can be trusted with something of

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

that degree of importance.

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

Had he not done this alaihis salatu wa

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

sallam, this wouldn't have worked. How was he

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

going to make this happen? Who He can't

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

send a wubakr and umar. They don't have

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

the they don't have the energy to do

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

what Mus'ab was going to do. This day

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

and night,

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

this day and night work

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

can only happen from people who have that

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

type of energy and that type of passion.

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

You lose it after a certain age or

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

it's it's not as, it's not as easy

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

to,

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

to find inside yourself. He can't stand the

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

Ubakkur in his fifties or Ambar in his

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

forties. It's not it's not gonna work. This

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

is not gonna work. He has to send

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

someone young.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

So unless he has people that he has

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

he has,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

trained and built up and taught, that are

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

reliable,

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

that he trusts to do this task,

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

then this is going to be impossible.

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

If he was surrounded by children alaihis salatu

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

wasalam or people that he can't trust, then

00:11:27 --> 00:11:28

he would have to say, I'm sorry, this

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

is not gonna work because, you know, I

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

can't come to Medina and do this myself

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

and none of these I can't send any

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

of these people, but he could. And that's

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

the importance of understanding this piece of the

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

story.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

So, most of the will stay in the

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39

house of and

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

they would do a lot of dawah.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

And a lot of

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

the population is accepting Islam. On a daily

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

basis they're coming to the house of Asad

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

ibn Zulrah who's a Khazraji gentleman,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

learning about the deen and accepting Islam. So

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

everyday there's a new Muslim. Everyday there's more,

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

there's new Muslims everyday for this whole year.

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

He's gonna do this for a year. His

00:11:58 --> 00:11:59

task that he was given by the Prophet

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

alaihis salam, 12 months.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

You're going after Hajj, you come back during

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

Hajj. And in the meantime you send me

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

quarterly reports. The Prophet

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

knew what was happening. Like he was not

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

oblivion to what was going on. No. Every

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

month or more, Mus'a'b would send back reports

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

to the Prophet who accepted Islam, which tribes

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

they come from, which families they come from,

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

what their numbers are, the demographics,

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

males, females, elderly, young. He knew alayhis salatu

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

wa sallam, he even knew about struggles.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

Like he even knew if someone so for

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

example, there was a lady by the name

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

of

00:12:32 --> 00:12:35

Hawa bint Yazid ibn II. So Hawa 'Azihi

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

accepted Islam with Mus'ab radiAllahu anhu. She was

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

from Khazraj. And she was married to a

00:12:39 --> 00:12:40

man by the name of Qais. I can't

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

remember his last name.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

And he would harm her. Like he did

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

every time he saw her praying, he would

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

say things for And

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

she was you know being perseverant and patient.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

So, Mus'a'a during amongst the report he was

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

sent back to the Prophet is that this

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

lady accepted Islam and her husband

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

is Muzi, someone who's making it very difficult

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

for her. So the prophet

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

asked about this gentleman, this man Faiz. And

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

they told him, You Rasoolullah, he comes by

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

Makkah for his tijara once every couple of

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

months. And he's coming actually in a week.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

So the Prophet alaihis salam waited for him,

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

and he would go, and he would ask,

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

Who is Faiz ibn Fula? And

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

they would point him out to him. So

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

the Prophet alaihis salam would go to him,

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

and

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

the wording of the story,

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

He would come to him, he would talk

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

whenever you call someone Abu something and not

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

by their name or not or something, that

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

means you know them well or you're trying

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

to establish a connection with the person. So

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

he was trying to he was speaking to

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

him very nicely. He was saying,

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

I call you to the way of Allah

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

and

00:13:46 --> 00:13:47

let me explain to you the deen. And

00:13:47 --> 00:13:50

Qais would finally say, okay, explain. The prophet

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

alaihi salam would explain.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

And he would say, this is very beautiful.

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

I'm someone who's in the midst of war,

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

I don't have time for this.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

So the Prophet alaihis salazar

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

if you're not going to listen.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

It's like as the Egyptians would say, And

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

just

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

out of respect for me, don't harm her

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

anymore.

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

The Prophet treated him, and said, Yes, for

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

you, I will never harm her again. And

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

And from after that, after him meeting the

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

prophet

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

he didn't accept Islam, but he would always

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

come, he would be dressed well, he would

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

speak well. He never said anything to me

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

after that about my deen and about teaching

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

my children.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

So he knew what was going on. Mus'ad

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

was sending him reports, he had a good

00:14:51 --> 00:14:51

understanding.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

After a month or two of him doing

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

this in Asad ibn Zura's home, and the

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

number of Muslims from Khazraj had increased substantially,

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

and the Muslims from Os had not.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

Now Asad has a,

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

he has a special,

00:15:08 --> 00:15:09

situation.

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

His mother is from the tribe in Os.

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

He is a Khazwah Ji man, his father

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

is.

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

Abu Umama Asad ibn Zura

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

But his mother was from Al Aus. And

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

he wasn't getting enough of his mother's family

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

to come and accept Islam, so he told

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

Musa'a, We have to go and poke the

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

bear. Like we have to go and rattle

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

the cage a little bit for for this

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

to work. So we're gonna go and we're

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

gonna set camp,

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

beside,

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

a a,

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

orchard.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

Is basically an orchard where there's walls kinda

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

closing it in. That belongs to people from

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

Al Aus, and we're going to try and

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

perform dawah to them. So the most have

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

said, okay. He would go would say, Asad,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

they would set camp and start performing dawah.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

People would come listen, people would accept Islam.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:57

Now the 2 leaders of Aus are Usayd

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

ibn Khadoyin,

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

He's not Muslim yet, but,

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

you kinda guessed it. And Sa'd ibn Wal.

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

These were the 2 leaders of Aus. They

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

were very young, in their twenties. Yeah. Because

00:16:07 --> 00:16:09

all of the, leaders of the tribes

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

had died in the battles. So sometimes that's

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

what needs to happen. In order for change

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

to occur, sometimes you need the old generation

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

just to step aside or die.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

But

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

for Aus and Khazraj what happened is that

00:16:23 --> 00:16:26

all the leaders who were very close minded

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

had died. And in Aus, all young people.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

The people in their twenties were now Sadatul

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

Qom. They were the nobles of the tribe,

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

they were the shiuhu kabila. Al Khaydraj still

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

had the problem. They still had Abdullah bin

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

Ubay bin Saloon. They still had he still

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

had people Al Bara'ib al Ma'udar, people who

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

was very old, who was hard to kind

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

of change, but the Aus didn't. But these

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

2 young men were very passionate about protecting

00:16:46 --> 00:16:47

their tribe from

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

this foreign person who is bringing all these

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

weird teachings to to Yathrib coming from Quresh,

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

living in the house of Asad. So Sa'ad

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

ibn Mu'a'id would talk to Usaid.

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

And he would tell Usaid, Asad is maybe

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

ranking number 1 in Usaid. Usaid is the

00:17:01 --> 00:17:02

2nd ranker.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

We tell him, Go and talk to him,

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

to Asad, and to the man that he

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

brought with him, and tell him to leave.

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

Because I don't want to go there and

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

start a problem. Why? Because Sa'd ibn Mu'adh

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

is related to Asad. They're related through their

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

mothers, their cousins.

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

So Sa'd doesn't wanna go and cause a

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

problem with his cousins. He said, Oh, sayyid,

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

you go and talk to them. So, Usaid

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

would go carrying

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

his his his, a spear in his hand.

00:17:32 --> 00:17:33

Usayd starts walking towards

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

Musaab and Asad and Mizura.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

So Asad holds Musaab from the hand.

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

Tell him, oh, Musaab,

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

the leader of his tribe is coming to

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

you. This is the man.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

So be genuine to Allah.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

Be truthful and honest in your heart to

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. What do you mean?

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

Meaning,

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

I love the phrase, it's a beautiful phrase.

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

It comes in both

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

wordings in the books of Silah.

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

When you speak to him, increase the amount

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

of sincerity in your heart. When you speak

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

to him, make sure you are fully genuine

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

to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so that this

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

works. Because this is the guy, if this

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

guy accepts Islam, it's gonna make a big

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

difference for us.

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

So

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

Mus'aab would say, Insha'Allah,

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

Bismillah.

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

I'm ready.

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

So the Sayyid would come and he would

00:18:28 --> 00:18:29

take his spear and he would

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

put it in the ground and stand between

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

where I am and the wall over there.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

He wouldn't come close, they're sitting over there,

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

he doesn't enter their tent. It used to

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

be like if you want to come and

00:18:39 --> 00:18:41

speak to people, enter their tent that was

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

a sign

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

of non hostility, right? He would sit down.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

He doesn't want to enter their tent because

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

he's hostile.

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

And when you put the spear in the

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

ground that way you're

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

we can see in his eyes there is

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

evil.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

So he uses some heavy words. He said,

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

If you want to live, do you care

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

about your life? You guys want to enjoy

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

living? Yeah, get out. If you want to

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

continue to enjoy life, maybe you should get

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

out. You brought me this person, we don't

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

know where you brought him from he would

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

say in another narration. I take that, I'll

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

be in Paresh. He brought this boy with

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

you from Paresh,

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

bringing us all this

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

voodoo, making up all these stories, saying things

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

that are ruining families.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

Take him and leave if you don't want

00:19:39 --> 00:19:39

any trouble.

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

But

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

Mus'aab speaks, I'd say he's quiet,

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

yeah. Doesn't want to cause any problems. So

00:19:46 --> 00:19:47

Musa'ab speaks.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

Can I offer you something better?

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

Nothing is better than you getting up and

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

leaving.

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

You listen to what I have to say.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

If you accept it, we continue talking. You

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

don't accept it, we pack up and we

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

leave.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

Usayid said, Fair.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

You see, Usayid came in aggressively. He was

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

escalating.

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

His

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

blood was boiling.

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

He was waiting for he said rude and

00:20:26 --> 00:20:29

aggressive things to both Asad and Mus'ab. He's

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

waiting for something rude and aggressive to come

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

back, so that he can turn it into

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

a problem.

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

Mus'ab absorbs all of it.

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

This is the person the Prophet alaihis salallahu

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

alaihi wasallam sent. He's 21, 22 years old.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

He absorbs all of this hostility.

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

He offers him something that makes sense that

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

any reasonable human being will accept.

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

He doesn't push it.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

Hussain accepts.

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

Musaab radiAllahu anhu begins performing dawah.

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

Some narrations point out that he would give

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

a small introduction,

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

Alhamdulillah.

00:20:58 --> 00:20:59

(3:3)

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

And

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

some don't, and then he would start reciting

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

from the book of Allah

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

Some point out that he recite from Surah

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

Zuzruf and some point out he recited from

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

Surah Zuzruhan. I don't know. It doesn't make

00:21:15 --> 00:21:16

a difference. But he starts reciting the book

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

of Allah Musaab was one of the half

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

of what was revealed of the Quran so

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

far. Obviously, the Quran was not fully revealed

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

but every day it was revealed Musaab had.

00:21:25 --> 00:21:26

So we start reciting.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:29

Asad is telling us the story.

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

And we saw Islam in his face before

00:21:43 --> 00:21:44

he said anything.

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

As Mus'aab is reciting, we're looking at I'm

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

looking at Usayb just watching this, I see

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

Usayb's face fill up with Islam. Whatever that

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

means. I don't know what that means, but

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

it meant something. Because as I saw something

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

happening in the face, and the eyes, and

00:21:57 --> 00:21:58

the expressions,

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

and the facial expressions, and the body language

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

of Usayd as Musa'ib will say it's the

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

Quran. Usayd who was standing there in front

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

of his spear all tense was now loosening

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

up, and he was listening.

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

After

00:22:13 --> 00:22:14

the musaab finished his,

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

So what does a person have to do

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

if he decides that they want to enter

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

your deen?

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

So Usayid, I told you guys they had

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

camp right beside an orchard. So he goes

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

into the orchard, he dips himself

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

into a well, he comes back, he performed

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

ghusi, and he gives shahadat tawheed.

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

And

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

then he says,

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

They will

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

I left behind me a guy. If he

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

accepts Islam, the whole tribe like this will

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

accept Islam. I can help but this is

00:22:57 --> 00:22:57

the guy.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

I'm gonna go to him and send him

00:23:02 --> 00:23:05

here and then use the same word So

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

be genuine when you speak to him.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

So he would go to Saad ibn Mu'adh

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

He's standing amongst his buddies.

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

He

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

was wrong with your friend here. He seems

00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

to come He's coming back with a different

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

face than the one he left with.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

He doesn't look the same.

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

What did you do?

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

I laid the law.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

Told them, Get lost. And they said, Okay.

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

We'll get lost. The law's taken care

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

of. So he told a white lie.

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

Said, But I'm scared for

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

your cousin Asad ibn Zurarra because he's camped

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

in a place, he's outside of his tribe,

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

he's outside of his It's dangerous back It

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

was dangerous back then to do this. He's

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

camping outside and Banu Fulaha like a tribe

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

that Asad ibn Mu'ad has animosity with Said

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

they saw him and they're preparing to kill

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

him just to spite you.

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

So, Sa'ad is a smart man,

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

We'll see. He doesn't believe him, but now

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

he has to go and check because he

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

can't let

00:24:26 --> 00:24:27

his cousin be killed.

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

Naba, we'll see about this. There's

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

something fishy here. There's something he wasn't

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

trusting this. So he goes and he walks

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

towards the area because he takes with him

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

some people and he finds Musa'a

00:24:38 --> 00:24:39

sitting and talking.

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

Leave. If you didn't listen to the person

00:25:01 --> 00:25:02

who spoke to you before, they'll listen to

00:25:02 --> 00:25:03

me.

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

I

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

don't like to repeat myself, leave.

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12

So Mus'aab told him exactly what he told

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

Usaid,

00:25:13 --> 00:25:16

Can I just let me speak? If you

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

accept it, I continue. If you don't accept

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

it, I will leave. I will leave. We

00:25:20 --> 00:25:21

will not cause you in trouble. We're not

00:25:21 --> 00:25:23

here to start a fight. Just listen.

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

Taqaddi lassaad.

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28

So, go ahead. So, Musaab repeated the same

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

thing. He did the exact same thing. Ma'ad

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

that's what Usay told him,

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

Well, when he was told that the first

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

time Musaab, this is what he did. So

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

he was told it again, he's like, Alright.

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

This worked. We stick to the same scenario.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:40

You don't have to No changing of the

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

routine, the routine works. So you're repeated the

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

same

00:25:43 --> 00:25:44

routine.

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

And we knew he accepted Islam before before

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

he actually gave the shahada. And Saib ibn

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

Mu'adh, as Usaid would give shahada tawhid and

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

say,

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

and then he would get up and he

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

would walk away. He wouldn't spend any time

00:26:05 --> 00:26:06

to learn. As Usaid

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

is watching from afar, he sees this, he

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

hears

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

the shahat Tawhid, he comes because now he

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

wants to sit and learn from Mus'aib,

00:26:14 --> 00:26:15

Sa'ad doesn't.

00:26:15 --> 00:26:16

Usaid says to learn,

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

but Sa'd ibn Mu'adh stands up and he

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

walks in the opposite direction.

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

So Mus'aib al Sadiq ibn Zura asked a

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

question.

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

They're asking Usaid, Where your friend live? He

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

says,

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

Don't worry. He's gonna bring you the full

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

tribe. Just give him a few minutes.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

He'll he'll get he has a he has

00:26:37 --> 00:26:38

a task to take care of. Don't worry.

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

Teach me in the meantime because he he'll

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

be back soon. He won't be alone either.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:46

Go to his people.

00:26:48 --> 00:26:52

And he calls for a meeting, Who am

00:26:52 --> 00:26:53

I to you?

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

You are the you are a leader, you

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

are a noble person, you are the most

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

intelligent one amongst us, you are the one

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

who makes our decisions, you are our protector,

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

they say all the stuff that they know

00:27:12 --> 00:27:14

about him because back then, when you when

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

you achieved leadership in your tribe, you you

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

achieved it because of certain attributes that you

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

carried. Like you had to be someone who's

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

brave, who who always put the best interest

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

of the tribe over themselves, you're someone who

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

who is willing to sacrifice their own lives

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

for the sake of the people that you

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

loved and Assad was that type of person.

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

So he became he was this leader and

00:27:35 --> 00:27:37

he's asking them because he wants to establish

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

something before he makes a request. So they

00:27:39 --> 00:27:40

say all these things,

00:27:44 --> 00:27:44

Say,

00:28:01 --> 00:28:02

This is the shahada that I took and

00:28:02 --> 00:28:03

my face,

00:28:04 --> 00:28:05

I'll never look at you again.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

I'll never speak to any of you again.

00:28:08 --> 00:28:09

And so you all say

00:28:14 --> 00:28:18

They gave See, Khaziraj accepted Islam over like

00:28:18 --> 00:28:19

a long period of time.

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

It was like that. It was just you

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

just got the right guy. Right? You just

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

got the right guy. That's what the prophet

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

alaihis salaam did, alaihis salaam alaihis

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

salaam alaihis salaam alaihis salaam alaihis salaam alaihis

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

salaam alaihis salaam alaihis salaam alaihis salaam alaihis

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

salaam alaihis salaam alaihis salaam alaihis salaam alaihis

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

salaam al

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

during the Mekki period. When you hear the

00:28:37 --> 00:28:37

prophet

00:28:38 --> 00:28:38

going to

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

that that phrase like the nobles of Quraysh.

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

Why? Because he knew

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

There are key people within within

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

within this world, within communities and societies and

00:28:51 --> 00:28:54

populations, there are key individuals. If if if

00:28:54 --> 00:28:55

you can get to them, everyone else will

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

follow. And it because they trust them. They

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

trust their leaders, they trust those who

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

have experience and wisdom and knowledge, they'll they'll

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

trust them.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

It still works that way by the way.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:11

Not as clearly as it did back then,

00:29:11 --> 00:29:13

but it's still there.

00:29:13 --> 00:29:14

That's still there.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:15

Populations

00:29:16 --> 00:29:17

organically,

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

organically

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

will

00:29:20 --> 00:29:23

choose people that represent them or people they

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

trust or people they want to listen to

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

and those people if they're able to come

00:29:27 --> 00:29:28

together and do something beneficial

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

that unites them that benefits them

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

Then you can change, you can change history

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

really.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

Is that easy? The reason that it's hard

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

to make change is because the people that

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

are of that status historically don't get along.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

Like historically everyone's ego is too big to

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

work things out with the other person who's

00:29:48 --> 00:29:51

also respected in the society. So people who

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

are of high of high status, it's not

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

easy to get them in one room. It's

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

not easy to get them to agree to

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

anything. So it's very hard to initiate change

00:29:59 --> 00:30:01

by just talking to the individuals.

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

Like it's much more difficult, it's hard to

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

make change that way by just going to

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

every single person and getting them to change

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

their mind. If you just get the key

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

in people within each family, within each yani

00:30:10 --> 00:30:13

community, you can make change but but it's

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

hard.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:17

As Muslims I find it absolutely appalling that

00:30:17 --> 00:30:18

we don't know how to do this properly.

00:30:19 --> 00:30:21

Wallah, it's absolutely appalling that we don't have

00:30:21 --> 00:30:22

this set

00:30:22 --> 00:30:23

appropriately.

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

Because any form of status that you have

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

within the Muslim community,

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

the only purpose of it is to serve

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

the unity of the Umma. It's to serve

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

the best interest of the Muslim population and

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

community and society where you live. That's the

00:30:37 --> 00:30:39

only purpose of having any form of status

00:30:39 --> 00:30:42

or respect within a community. If you have

00:30:42 --> 00:30:43

it and you're not using it for that,

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

then you are going to you have no

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

idea how you're going to be questioned about

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

this Like

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

you don't even realize what the questions are

00:30:50 --> 00:30:52

gonna be like. Like how is it that

00:30:52 --> 00:30:54

I gave Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, how is

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

it that I gave you this status where

00:30:56 --> 00:30:57

people listen to you, and you did not

00:30:57 --> 00:30:59

try to unite, and you did not try

00:30:59 --> 00:31:01

to educate, and you did not try to

00:31:01 --> 00:31:04

fix problems? How dare you? Take this gift

00:31:04 --> 00:31:06

from me, and then use it for yourself,

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

and then increase the division, and increase the

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

difficulty. Well, how could you do that? Because

00:31:11 --> 00:31:12

whatever you have in this life is a

00:31:12 --> 00:31:14

gift from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You know,

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

he's gonna ask you about it.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

Sa'id bin Wahab

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

He's a big deal by the way.

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

I'm not gonna tell a story.

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

Today, let me tell you about these 3.

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

As Sa'id bin Zul'ala

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

would pass away

00:31:29 --> 00:31:30

the next year.

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

A year from where I'm talking to you

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

right now, Asad would die. Asad would pass

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

away before Badr. He wouldn't make it to

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

Badr, radiAllahu anhu. 22 years old, he would

00:31:39 --> 00:31:42

die. Usaydin al Adair would die the year

00:31:42 --> 00:31:42

after, 23.

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

Salib al Mu'adh would die after khandaq, 27.

00:31:47 --> 00:31:48

These are their ages.

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

Just Musa ibn Umayl would die in Uhud,

00:31:51 --> 00:31:52

25,

00:31:52 --> 00:31:53

radiAllahu anhu.

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

And the heroes of this story, all 4,

00:31:57 --> 00:31:57

would die,

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

Youhani, within the first 5 years of his

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

hijrah alaihis salatu wa salam. They wouldn't make

00:32:02 --> 00:32:03

none of them.

00:32:03 --> 00:32:05

None of them would make it to 30

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

years old. Not one of them. They'd all

00:32:07 --> 00:32:09

die It doesn't matter how long you live.

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

What matters really is what you do with

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

the time that you have. That's all.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:15

Doesn't matter how long. You have 50 or

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

60 or 70 or 80 or 21 or

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

24 or less than that

00:32:20 --> 00:32:21

or less than that.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:23

May Allah Subhanahu wa'ala grant you long life

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

with salihat InshaAllah Say Ayameen. And all your

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

loved ones InshaAllah.

00:32:26 --> 00:32:28

It's what you do with the time that

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

you

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

have. That's why when I tell these names

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

and you're listening to them, you forget them.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

Most people forget them within a couple of

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

months of me telling the story. Now you

00:32:36 --> 00:32:38

remember Waqarah and Umar al-'Alayhi because they lived

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

years later and did stuff, but people forget

00:32:40 --> 00:32:41

as Adam and Zurara.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

The older young boy on that day, amongst

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

the 6 who listened to the prophet alaihis

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

salaam said yes and brought Musaab to his

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

house and was the mind behind orchestrating all

00:32:53 --> 00:32:55

of this dawah. Don't forget about what was

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

said in Abu al Sadbu Mu'adh who brought

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

an oath to Islam making Khazraj,

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

making the people of Khazraj jealous.

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

It like amplified the dawah.

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

When the khazhu is felt they're outnumbered by

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

the number of Muslims now all in one

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

day, but from the

00:33:09 --> 00:33:11

dawah actually was amplified. That's why he said,

00:33:11 --> 00:33:14

Musaab al Umayyad would send an amazing report

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

to the Prophet

00:33:15 --> 00:33:17

that we have achieved in the 100. In

00:33:17 --> 00:33:19

the 100, within, you know, a couple of

00:33:19 --> 00:33:21

months. But why? It's because Wasad and Usain

00:33:21 --> 00:33:22

accepted

00:33:23 --> 00:33:24

it. And they would all pass away before

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

they were 30 years old. And they've forgotten

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

by a lot of the Muslims today.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:31

RadiAllahu Anhu, Ajma'e.

00:33:31 --> 00:33:32

Now,

00:33:32 --> 00:33:34

and we'll tell the stories InshaAllah. Said Mohammed

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

is still gonna be with us so let's

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

continue the story.

00:33:37 --> 00:33:38

Let's talk a little bit about Bayat Al

00:33:38 --> 00:33:41

Akhba Afhernia, the second Bayat Al Akhba.

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

Now, I'm going to perform insha'Allah within next

00:33:43 --> 00:33:45

2 weeks or so. I'm gonna start a

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

new series of Khubbas and it's to be

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

about the 5 elements of Bayat Al Akhbah.

00:33:49 --> 00:33:51

So I'm not gonna go too much depth

00:33:52 --> 00:33:52

in

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

this halaqats and leave it for the Khubbas

00:33:55 --> 00:33:56

for you to listen to insha'Allah.

00:33:57 --> 00:33:59

So what year is this now?

00:34:01 --> 00:34:03

So the first the 10th the Hajj of

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

10th year is where he met

00:34:05 --> 00:34:07

the 6th individuals from Yathrib.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:10

Hajj of 11th year is when he would

00:34:10 --> 00:34:11

meet the 12th.

00:34:11 --> 00:34:14

Hajj of 12th year is when he's going

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

to meet

00:34:15 --> 00:34:17

the 75 individuals that are going to come

00:34:17 --> 00:34:19

from from Yifrib for

00:34:20 --> 00:34:21

that is going to establish

00:34:21 --> 00:34:22

the new plan.

00:34:23 --> 00:34:24

He's gonna start a new era. And

00:34:39 --> 00:34:41

It was the only time you could camouflage

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

these types of beatings. There were too many

00:34:43 --> 00:34:43

people

00:34:44 --> 00:34:47

everywhere was packed, too much was happening, Khuday

00:34:47 --> 00:34:49

didn't have time to follow him around

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

or follow people. So they they could they

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

could make it happen. The agreement

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

The agreement was that

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

they would come during Hajj,

00:34:57 --> 00:34:58

they would come amongst

00:34:59 --> 00:35:02

the group from Yathrib, they would not come

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

alone.

00:35:04 --> 00:35:06

The Muslims would not come in their own

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

faj, in their own caravan or group. No.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

They would come with the group of mushrikeen

00:35:10 --> 00:35:12

that were coming from Yifrib,

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

and they would be with them in their

00:35:14 --> 00:35:16

tents, and they would blend in with all

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

of them.

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

The Prophet is very very specific. This is

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

from his fiqh, and his the genius of

00:35:21 --> 00:35:22

the Prophet

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

Do not, do not come

00:35:24 --> 00:35:27

and show yourselves off as different. Blend in,

00:35:27 --> 00:35:28

be with the group,

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

make sure that there's no evidence, no one

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

knows, make sure that the mushrikeen don't know

00:35:32 --> 00:35:34

that you're Muslim, and don't talk about any

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

of it. You're just coming for aj.

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

And then on the last night of Mina,

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

close to Jamrat Al Aqaba, where Masjid Al

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

Bay'ah is, I showed you the picture of

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

Masjid Al Bay'ah. That's where we're going to

00:35:45 --> 00:35:45

meet.

00:35:46 --> 00:35:47

We're gonna meet there.

00:35:47 --> 00:35:48

75 Muslims

00:35:49 --> 00:35:50

would leave and come.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

75.

00:35:54 --> 00:35:55

Now, there are way more in Medina,

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

but that was what the Prophet alaihis salawam

00:35:58 --> 00:35:59

was technically looking for. He's looking for something

00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

around 75 people to 100, something like that.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

Mus'amu al-'Amayr obviously is coming back with them

00:36:04 --> 00:36:07

as well. He meets the prophet before they

00:36:07 --> 00:36:09

do. He gives them the full report, everything

00:36:09 --> 00:36:10

that he needs to know

00:36:10 --> 00:36:13

about everything in Madinah. Not just in Yathrib,

00:36:13 --> 00:36:16

not just how many Muslims there are, but

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

everything the geo political

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

the temperature of the of the area. When

00:36:22 --> 00:36:25

it comes to the geography, how much food,

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

how many people, what Like the relationships, the

00:36:27 --> 00:36:30

alliances between the allegiances between the tribes, the

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

animosities. He told the prophet everything you need

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

to know because he'd been there for a

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

year observing and he took note of all

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

of it.

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

On the way there,

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

say the Kaab ibn Malik, and Kaab tells

00:36:42 --> 00:36:43

us the story of Bayat Al Aqaba by

00:36:43 --> 00:36:45

the way. He is the one who tells

00:36:45 --> 00:36:46

us the story of Bayat Al Aqaba. He

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

accepted Islam with Mus'ab,

00:36:48 --> 00:36:50

and on the way there he would perform

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

jawa himself.

00:36:51 --> 00:36:53

So he would get 2 people to accept

00:36:53 --> 00:36:54

Islam,

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

on the way there. He would get a

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

man by the name of Bara'a ibn Ma'a'or.

00:36:59 --> 00:37:00

Bara'a ibn Ma'or who were

00:37:02 --> 00:37:04

He is the leader of this caravan of

00:37:04 --> 00:37:07

fujaj. He was a mushrik. Right? But he

00:37:07 --> 00:37:09

was a man of reason, and Ka'ab felt

00:37:09 --> 00:37:10

that he had a chance with him. He

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

was a close friend to him. So he

00:37:12 --> 00:37:15

spoke to, Bara' ibn Marul, and he offered

00:37:15 --> 00:37:16

Islam, and Bara accepted.

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

He accepted,

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

and the way Ka'ab was offering it was

00:37:21 --> 00:37:22

like, I don't want you to miss out

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

on this historical event that's going to happen.

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

This historic event that's going to happen where

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

we're going to meet Muhammad and

00:37:28 --> 00:37:29

we're

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

gonna pledge and things are gonna change, I

00:37:30 --> 00:37:31

don't want you to be the person who

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

missed out on it. So the bara said,

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

Thank you, I accept. Let's go and speak

00:37:51 --> 00:37:52

One of the great narrators of hadith, one

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

of the fuqa'ah of the sahaba. He's the

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

son of Abdullah ibn Amul ibn Haram

00:37:57 --> 00:37:58

will have his own story on the day

00:37:58 --> 00:38:00

of Uhud when I talk about that story

00:38:00 --> 00:38:01

later on. But he was a So

00:38:03 --> 00:38:06

Ta'ab al Bara'al would go to 'Abdullaa ibn

00:38:06 --> 00:38:08

Amr and they would speak to him. Abil

00:38:08 --> 00:38:09

Haram and he would accept Islam as well.

00:38:09 --> 00:38:11

So now they have a little bit more

00:38:11 --> 00:38:13

momentum. The number initially was 73, now it's

00:38:13 --> 00:38:16

75. And they have 2 of

00:38:16 --> 00:38:17

the main leaders of

00:38:18 --> 00:38:20

this caravan of people which made a big

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

difference.

00:38:21 --> 00:38:23

As we'll kind of point out inshallah a

00:38:23 --> 00:38:24

little bit later in the story.

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

So, Kaaba bin Malik and Baraat bin Marul

00:38:28 --> 00:38:29

would go and meet the prophet alaihis salatu

00:38:29 --> 00:38:31

wasalam before the time in,

00:38:32 --> 00:38:33

during tawaf.

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

So I couldn't wait. He told us, Don't

00:38:49 --> 00:38:50

don't speak to me.

00:38:51 --> 00:38:53

The communication was, Do not approach

00:38:53 --> 00:38:54

until

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

that last night of Mina when we meet

00:38:56 --> 00:38:57

in Allahabad.

00:38:58 --> 00:39:00

The Baba said, I saw him and I

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

could not wait.

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

I was impatient,

00:39:03 --> 00:39:04

I couldn't wait, I couldn't help it, I

00:39:04 --> 00:39:06

had to go speak to him

00:39:06 --> 00:39:08

So the Bara would take and they would

00:39:08 --> 00:39:09

go to the Prophet

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

00:39:22 --> 00:39:22

Alaikum Wa Salam

00:39:23 --> 00:39:25

Alaikum Wa Salam Alaikum Wa Salam. The poet.

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

Ka'al Malik The poet.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

You see, he had 3 poets during

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

his life

00:39:31 --> 00:39:34

that defended him in Islam in general, right?

00:39:34 --> 00:39:36

The main poet was Sayyidna whom?

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

No. Hasan.

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

Hasan bin Thabit, yes.

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

And number 2,

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

was this gentleman over here a Kaab, numeric?

00:39:45 --> 00:39:47

And number 3, anyone know?

00:39:48 --> 00:39:49

Who was also there? Yeah, who was also

00:39:49 --> 00:39:52

there. So Abdul Abarwalaha was also there at

00:39:52 --> 00:39:53

the time and he's going to be one

00:39:53 --> 00:39:53

of the

00:39:54 --> 00:39:56

Nokribs on the way back. So Kaab was

00:39:56 --> 00:39:58

a poet and he was known. And the

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

Prophet alaihis salatu when he met him, he

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

told him, The poet?

00:40:05 --> 00:40:06

And this word from him alaihis salatu wa

00:40:06 --> 00:40:08

sallam, it just entered my heart.

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

I've never been happier with anything in my

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

life. Then when he told me that day,

00:40:15 --> 00:40:17

Aisha, you're the poet. That he knew me.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:20

That the Prophet alaihis salam recognized me.

00:40:21 --> 00:40:22

Recognized my talent.

00:40:23 --> 00:40:24

Recognized the importance

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

of art in order for a society

00:40:27 --> 00:40:29

to exist and to survive

00:40:29 --> 00:40:30

and for youth to find interest,

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

a society and a community that has no

00:40:33 --> 00:40:34

art in it is doomed

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

to cease to exist,

00:40:37 --> 00:40:39

its downfall is around the corner because the

00:40:39 --> 00:40:42

next generation will be too bored, there's nothing

00:40:42 --> 00:40:44

to commit to, there's nothing to pull them

00:40:44 --> 00:40:46

towards what it is that they're being asked

00:40:46 --> 00:40:47

to philosophically

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

understand and follow because it's artless,

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

because there's nothing in it for them. They

00:40:52 --> 00:40:55

they can't The youth are artistic in nature

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

which is why the Quran has its own

00:40:57 --> 00:40:58

rules for how you read it, you can't

00:40:58 --> 00:41:00

read it like you read any other book

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

in Arabic, you have to sing it out,

00:41:02 --> 00:41:03

you have to sing it out, and you

00:41:03 --> 00:41:05

have to make all these and put all

00:41:05 --> 00:41:07

these because it's art. And a society that

00:41:07 --> 00:41:10

does not honor its artists and does not

00:41:10 --> 00:41:13

have artists, does not have different venues of

00:41:13 --> 00:41:14

art is a society and a community that

00:41:14 --> 00:41:17

will struggle to keep their youth apart of

00:41:17 --> 00:41:19

what they're doing which is what we are

00:41:19 --> 00:41:21

where we are. We have a problem.

00:41:21 --> 00:41:23

Either there is no art in the community

00:41:23 --> 00:41:24

or there is

00:41:25 --> 00:41:27

really bad art in the community that I'd

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

rather know than the bad. Because when you

00:41:29 --> 00:41:31

have when you have sloppy,

00:41:31 --> 00:41:32

worthless,

00:41:33 --> 00:41:36

just horrible to listen to stuff, then the

00:41:36 --> 00:41:37

Muslim youth would like,

00:41:38 --> 00:41:39

No, I'm not listening to

00:41:40 --> 00:41:42

No, I grew up in Syria, so for

00:41:42 --> 00:41:43

me, you know,

00:41:43 --> 00:41:45

there's a certain cultural aspect to Nasheed that

00:41:45 --> 00:41:47

I love, I'll always do it, but I

00:41:47 --> 00:41:49

can't expect Muslims who come from other parts

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

of the world, growing up in other parts

00:41:51 --> 00:41:52

of the world to find joy in these

00:41:52 --> 00:41:55

things. We have to have other other forms

00:41:55 --> 00:41:56

of artistic expression

00:41:57 --> 00:41:59

that is that we encourage young people to

00:41:59 --> 00:42:01

be a part of, so that they can

00:42:01 --> 00:42:02

feel connected to the deen.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

Because without this I

00:42:05 --> 00:42:08

you're literally paralyzing people like me. Yeah, I

00:42:08 --> 00:42:09

have nothing to go How do I make

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

them How do I touch them to these

00:42:11 --> 00:42:13

places? How do I make them to You

00:42:13 --> 00:42:15

already want to come and be a part

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

of There has to be something. The Prophet

00:42:17 --> 00:42:19

alaihis salam knew the,

00:42:20 --> 00:42:22

the value, the significance

00:42:22 --> 00:42:25

of having artists within his community alaihis salatu

00:42:25 --> 00:42:28

wa sallam. That's why he gave them status.

00:42:28 --> 00:42:29

By the way,

00:42:30 --> 00:42:31

you know, they weren't

00:42:32 --> 00:42:34

I want I'm saying this very carefully. So

00:42:34 --> 00:42:35

so listen listen to it and make sure

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

you understand.

00:42:37 --> 00:42:39

When you rank them with the sahaba,

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

on a level of piety, on a level

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

of

00:42:43 --> 00:42:46

of adherence to the rulings, they didn't really

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

rank with everyone

00:42:47 --> 00:42:48

else. They didn't.

00:42:50 --> 00:42:51

All of them the Prophet alaihis salam passed

00:42:51 --> 00:42:54

away and he is And he

00:42:54 --> 00:42:55

and Abu Wa Bar Ra'ahu

00:42:56 --> 00:42:57

would be martyred and mutton the Prophet alaihis

00:42:57 --> 00:42:59

salam speak of his status in Jannah. But

00:42:59 --> 00:43:00

when you talk about the 3 of them,

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

and you describe, and you listen to the

00:43:01 --> 00:43:04

description, they didn't all have the same level

00:43:04 --> 00:43:06

of piety as as as Mus'ab and Ubakr

00:43:06 --> 00:43:08

and Ali and Zubayr and Talha.

00:43:08 --> 00:43:11

But they were still given the status.

00:43:11 --> 00:43:13

Asad bin Fabbid never carried a sword, he

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

refused to.

00:43:15 --> 00:43:16

He's like, I'm a poet, I don't do

00:43:16 --> 00:43:18

this. Now on the day of khandaq when

00:43:18 --> 00:43:20

he was absolutely needed, he didn't do it.

00:43:20 --> 00:43:22

That, I let's do with Ali Qarwaju, that's

00:43:22 --> 00:43:24

not me. Now Sofiyyah, the Prophet alaihis salam's

00:43:24 --> 00:43:27

aunt had to go and take out the

00:43:27 --> 00:43:28

the spy that was in the monks of

00:43:28 --> 00:43:30

them. Nothing to take away from his Maqam

00:43:30 --> 00:43:32

What I'm explaining to you is that with

00:43:32 --> 00:43:35

the Prophet alaihis salam was able to see

00:43:35 --> 00:43:37

the importance of having people specialize in certain

00:43:37 --> 00:43:40

things and giving them the respect and the

00:43:40 --> 00:43:42

and the status they needed to do the

00:43:42 --> 00:43:44

job that no one else could do within

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

the community.

00:43:45 --> 00:43:47

He saw value in that alaihis salatu wa

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

sallam.

00:43:48 --> 00:43:50

And having those poets, having these people made

00:43:50 --> 00:43:51

a huge difference for the Arab.

00:43:52 --> 00:43:53

Made a huge difference for the muslims at

00:43:53 --> 00:43:54

the time.

00:43:55 --> 00:43:56

And and, you know,

00:43:57 --> 00:43:59

I'm not surprised that that they did.

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

So, we have what? 8 minutes?

00:44:02 --> 00:44:05

Oh, actually, we have more. Excellent. Perfect. Great.

00:44:05 --> 00:44:05

So,

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

I was worried. So,

00:44:08 --> 00:44:10

They meet the Prophet alaihis salam for a

00:44:10 --> 00:44:11

moment and he tells them:

00:44:12 --> 00:44:13

Just keep on moving. I'll see you the

00:44:13 --> 00:44:15

last night of Mina.

00:44:15 --> 00:44:17

What was the agreement? The agreement is that

00:44:17 --> 00:44:18

they would sleep

00:44:19 --> 00:44:22

within the tents of the mushrikeen. Meaning the

00:44:22 --> 00:44:23

Muslims would not gang up in the same

00:44:23 --> 00:44:25

tent so they can talk about Quran. No,

00:44:25 --> 00:44:26

they would stay in the tents of the

00:44:26 --> 00:44:27

mushrikeen.

00:44:27 --> 00:44:30

And they would not wake up anyone who

00:44:30 --> 00:44:32

didn't wake up on their own. So, if

00:44:32 --> 00:44:34

you were going to attend Bayat Al Aqab

00:44:34 --> 00:44:35

Ifaniyah,

00:44:35 --> 00:44:36

you had to wake up on your own.

00:44:36 --> 00:44:38

If you didn't wake up, you missed it.

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41

If you didn't wake Imagine being that person.

00:44:41 --> 00:44:42

Imagine being

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

such a heavy sleeper,

00:44:45 --> 00:44:46

being someone who is so

00:44:47 --> 00:44:48

incapable or unable

00:44:49 --> 00:44:50

to wake up to do their job that

00:44:50 --> 00:44:51

you miss out

00:44:53 --> 00:44:54

And I can think of people right now

00:44:54 --> 00:44:56

in my head. I have names in my

00:44:56 --> 00:44:57

head that for sure that night would have

00:44:57 --> 00:44:58

missed

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

I know people that for sure they would

00:45:02 --> 00:45:04

wake up after the whole thing was over

00:45:04 --> 00:45:05

and they would they would even know what

00:45:05 --> 00:45:06

day of the week it was.

00:45:07 --> 00:45:09

People you weren't allowed to wake anyone up

00:45:09 --> 00:45:10

because if you woke someone up then you

00:45:10 --> 00:45:13

run the risk of a mushrik waking up,

00:45:13 --> 00:45:14

seeing,

00:45:14 --> 00:45:16

wondering and then knowing something. And you're gonna

00:45:16 --> 00:45:17

see how important this is going to be

00:45:17 --> 00:45:19

in a few minutes. It's very important piece.

00:45:19 --> 00:45:21

So no one will wake anyone up.

00:45:22 --> 00:45:23

If you woke up,

00:45:23 --> 00:45:25

middle of the night you would go over

00:45:25 --> 00:45:26

to

00:45:26 --> 00:45:29

the western or northwestern part of, Jamrati Al

00:45:29 --> 00:45:31

Aqaba. That's where you would go.

00:45:31 --> 00:45:32

We

00:45:36 --> 00:45:36

left

00:45:37 --> 00:45:39

our tents at night just like

00:45:39 --> 00:45:40

pigeons.

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

Quietly

00:45:41 --> 00:45:43

just not a word. No one We see

00:45:43 --> 00:45:44

each other, we don't say a word. We

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

just make it towards to where it is.

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

This is a big deal. There's going to

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

be a problem.

00:45:48 --> 00:45:50

Quraysh knows something's happening by the way.

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

Quraysh is not They're not idiots. They know

00:45:52 --> 00:45:55

what's happening. They know Mus'aab went to Yathrib.

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

They know that a lot of people in

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

Yathrib now have accepted Islam. They know the

00:45:59 --> 00:46:01

Prophet alaihis salam is cooking something. Yeah. They

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

can't pinpoint it yet because he's very secretive

00:46:04 --> 00:46:06

alaihis salam. He runs a very tight ship,

00:46:06 --> 00:46:08

so they don't know everything. But they have

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

certain ideas, they know what's going

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

on. They would meet with him alayhis salatu

00:46:12 --> 00:46:14

wa sallam. 75 people would show up amongst

00:46:14 --> 00:46:15

them 2 women.

00:46:16 --> 00:46:18

And the Prophet alayhis salatu wa sallam would

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

come, not alone, would come with his uncle,

00:46:20 --> 00:46:22

Labbas ibn Abdul Muttalib, who at the time

00:46:22 --> 00:46:23

was not Muslim.

00:46:23 --> 00:46:25

At the time, Abbas was not Muslim. But

00:46:25 --> 00:46:27

Abbas at that point was the leader of

00:46:27 --> 00:46:29

Banu Hashim, of the Prophet alaihis sala's son's

00:46:29 --> 00:46:32

clan. After Abu Talib passed away, the leadership

00:46:32 --> 00:46:34

of the clan went to Al Abbas. So

00:46:34 --> 00:46:34

Abbas,

00:46:35 --> 00:46:37

even though at the time he wasn't Muslim,

00:46:37 --> 00:46:38

as far as we know by the way,

00:46:38 --> 00:46:40

I mean there's some scholars will argue that

00:46:40 --> 00:46:42

he was. Some scholars

00:46:42 --> 00:46:45

will argue that and it's really hard to

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

kind of determine.

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

My reading of the situation that he wasn't

00:46:48 --> 00:46:51

Muslim yet. But Azar Abu 'alib was protective

00:46:51 --> 00:46:54

of his nephew, and Abbas was also protective

00:46:54 --> 00:46:55

of his nephew and

00:46:56 --> 00:46:56

the prophet

00:46:57 --> 00:46:57

trusted

00:46:58 --> 00:46:59

him to bring him to this meeting. So

00:46:59 --> 00:47:01

he came with him to the meeting.

00:47:03 --> 00:47:03

So,

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

Abbas would stand there

00:47:06 --> 00:47:07

and he would begin

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

the,

00:47:09 --> 00:47:10

this is a big deal. For Abbas it

00:47:10 --> 00:47:11

made a big deal how

00:47:12 --> 00:47:14

conversations and meetings occur.

00:47:14 --> 00:47:16

If you grew up in the Middle East

00:47:16 --> 00:47:18

and you're part of maybe parts of the

00:47:18 --> 00:47:19

rural part of the Middle East or the

00:47:19 --> 00:47:21

Bedouin parts of the Middle East,

00:47:21 --> 00:47:24

When people come together to talk, who speaks

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

first

00:47:25 --> 00:47:26

and who speaks

00:47:26 --> 00:47:28

amongst those group, the group that's gonna speak

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

first and what's said makes a big deal.

00:47:30 --> 00:47:31

It's a big deal, it's a big difference.

00:47:31 --> 00:47:33

It's not something simple. So, it has to

00:47:33 --> 00:47:35

be very well articulated. So, the person who's

00:47:35 --> 00:47:37

gonna speak first is the leader of the

00:47:37 --> 00:47:39

clan of the prophet alaihis salatu wa sallam.

00:47:40 --> 00:47:41

Right? That he has to speak first because

00:47:41 --> 00:47:43

the prophet alaihis salam before he speaks he

00:47:43 --> 00:47:44

has to let the leader his uncle speak.

00:47:44 --> 00:47:46

So, what would Abba say? Abba Azadullah would

00:47:46 --> 00:47:49

say and he wasn't happy at all. He

00:47:49 --> 00:47:51

would whisper to the prophet alaihis salam saying

00:47:51 --> 00:47:52

before he when he saw the people call

00:47:52 --> 00:47:53

them Maha'ula.

00:47:54 --> 00:47:55

Allahi ma'arifumunum

00:47:55 --> 00:47:57

ahadan. Ahadath.

00:47:57 --> 00:48:00

Who are these people? I don't recognize any

00:48:00 --> 00:48:01

of them. They're children.

00:48:01 --> 00:48:03

Sheikh, they're children. Like

00:48:03 --> 00:48:05

what you have? A bunch of 22 year

00:48:05 --> 00:48:06

olds? What is this?

00:48:06 --> 00:48:07

The prophet

00:48:08 --> 00:48:10

told the Abbas, This is what I'm doing.

00:48:10 --> 00:48:13

I'm getting out. I'm going there. So Abbas

00:48:13 --> 00:48:15

is meeting the people that the prophet is

00:48:16 --> 00:48:17

gonna go and meet and he's looking at

00:48:17 --> 00:48:19

them aside from Ibarra bin Maroor in his

00:48:19 --> 00:48:22

70s and Abullah ibn Abubil Haram. It's all

00:48:22 --> 00:48:23

people in their 20s.

00:48:23 --> 00:48:25

He's like, What is this? What are you

00:48:25 --> 00:48:26

doing? How could you?

00:48:27 --> 00:48:29

Because I'm going. So Abbaaz speaks.

00:48:35 --> 00:48:36

Knows that you are here.

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

If you take him, you have to understand

00:48:50 --> 00:48:52

that you must protect him, you must keep

00:48:52 --> 00:48:54

him safe, you have to accept that you're

00:48:54 --> 00:48:55

going to be the enemies of Allah or

00:48:55 --> 00:48:57

the majority of the Arabic tribes.

00:49:08 --> 00:49:09

So you can take him if that if

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

you've accepted this and if not, then our

00:49:11 --> 00:49:12

clan

00:49:13 --> 00:49:15

loves him more than you do. And we

00:49:15 --> 00:49:16

deserve to have him amongst us more than

00:49:16 --> 00:49:18

you do. And we will continue to protect

00:49:18 --> 00:49:20

him amongst us. We have no problem, we

00:49:20 --> 00:49:22

don't need you. The rabaaz is speaking and

00:49:22 --> 00:49:24

he's saying basically, I don't need you. I

00:49:24 --> 00:49:25

can protect my nephew.

00:49:26 --> 00:49:27

But he wants to go with you, So

00:49:27 --> 00:49:29

if you're gonna take him, you better do

00:49:29 --> 00:49:30

a good job in making sure he's safe.

00:49:32 --> 00:49:34

And he speaks a little bit. Abbas.

00:49:34 --> 00:49:36

He's a little bit aggressive. A little bit.

00:49:36 --> 00:49:36

You can go back to the books of

00:49:36 --> 00:49:38

see if I'm really read the long yani

00:49:38 --> 00:49:40

stuff. He's a little bit heavy. He used

00:49:40 --> 00:49:41

some heavy words.

00:49:41 --> 00:49:42

He's

00:49:42 --> 00:49:43

finished speaking.

00:49:44 --> 00:49:47

So, Al Bara'al Marur, now he's the Ra'iswa'al

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

Hajjis is the leader of the caravan of

00:49:51 --> 00:49:53

the Ujjaj, and the eldest of them.

00:49:59 --> 00:50:01

We have heard what your uncle says.

00:50:08 --> 00:50:09

Now You Rasool Allah You speak

00:50:10 --> 00:50:12

and ask for whatever you and your Lord

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

want.

00:50:13 --> 00:50:14

Just say what it is that you want

00:50:14 --> 00:50:16

from us. SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam Bismay.

00:50:17 --> 00:50:19

I have it up here for you if

00:50:19 --> 00:50:20

you want to.

00:50:21 --> 00:50:23

We're going to have insha'Allah, Yani, a khutba

00:50:23 --> 00:50:25

series on these on these 5 points that

00:50:25 --> 00:50:26

he speaks.

00:50:26 --> 00:50:29

This meeting was not a formality.

00:50:29 --> 00:50:31

Just so you understand. It was not a

00:50:31 --> 00:50:34

formal. I wasn't like, oh, it's already agreed

00:50:34 --> 00:50:35

upon, he's coming. No, no, no. This meeting

00:50:35 --> 00:50:37

would make it or break it.

00:50:38 --> 00:50:40

This meeting would make it or break it.

00:50:40 --> 00:50:41

Musaaba has done a good job, zaghu lakhit.

00:50:41 --> 00:50:44

May Allah bless him, barakatullah radiAllahu anhu. But

00:50:45 --> 00:50:47

this deal is not a done deal.

00:50:47 --> 00:50:49

The Prophet alaihis salam has specific

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

commands, specific things he needs

00:50:52 --> 00:50:54

the people in front of him to accept

00:50:54 --> 00:50:56

in order for this to work, and they

00:50:56 --> 00:50:57

have to accept it.

00:50:57 --> 00:50:59

'ai alaihi wasalam as you have learned by

00:50:59 --> 00:51:01

now, he's not interested

00:51:01 --> 00:51:02

in any form

00:51:02 --> 00:51:04

of compromising or negotiating

00:51:05 --> 00:51:06

when it comes to what he's asking for.

00:51:07 --> 00:51:08

He doesn't care how big the tribe is,

00:51:08 --> 00:51:10

how strong they are, how much money they

00:51:10 --> 00:51:13

have, he is willing to give up 0

00:51:13 --> 00:51:14

of his demands

00:51:15 --> 00:51:18

Either you accept Islam and him as is

00:51:18 --> 00:51:20

or leave it. He has no interest of,

00:51:20 --> 00:51:22

you know, come figuring out things. No. No.

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

Then you've seen it. We established that through

00:51:24 --> 00:51:26

all the meetings he had alayhi salatu wa

00:51:26 --> 00:51:27

salam with

00:51:28 --> 00:51:29

the different tribes.

00:51:29 --> 00:51:31

So he would begin alayhi salatu wa salam.

00:51:46 --> 00:51:48

I have 5 things to ask of you.

00:51:48 --> 00:51:49

And he begins.

00:52:15 --> 00:52:17

I ask for 5 things. Number 1, I

00:52:17 --> 00:52:20

don't come to you as a, a consultant.

00:52:20 --> 00:52:22

I don't come to you as an advisor.

00:52:22 --> 00:52:23

I come to you as a leader.

00:52:24 --> 00:52:25

I command and you listen.

00:52:29 --> 00:52:32

Whether you enjoy it or you don't enjoy

00:52:32 --> 00:52:34

it. Whether you are feeling up for it

00:52:34 --> 00:52:36

or you're very tired and you have no

00:52:36 --> 00:52:38

more energy, you're going to listen and you're

00:52:38 --> 00:52:40

going to obey. There's going to be adherence

00:52:40 --> 00:52:41

to what I say. I'm coming to you

00:52:41 --> 00:52:43

as with commands of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:52:43 --> 00:52:45

I am the leader. If I'm not the

00:52:45 --> 00:52:47

leader, I stay where I am. I'm not

00:52:47 --> 00:52:48

coming as an encourager.

00:52:49 --> 00:52:50

I'm not a life coach. I'm not an

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

advisor of some sort, I'm not someone who's

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

going to be I'm trying to get you

00:52:54 --> 00:52:55

to be No, no. I'm going to be

00:52:55 --> 00:52:56

telling you, Here's what we're going to do,

00:52:56 --> 00:52:57

we're going to say, Samanwatta.

00:52:59 --> 00:53:00

That's a big deal.

00:53:00 --> 00:53:02

It's a big deal almost.

00:53:03 --> 00:53:05

I want to say almost unheard of in

00:53:05 --> 00:53:06

Arabia, but, I can't.

00:53:07 --> 00:53:08

Because it was unheard of in Arabia.

00:53:10 --> 00:53:12

It had never happened before.

00:53:12 --> 00:53:15

Never. Never had this had this one clause

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

ever been

00:53:17 --> 00:53:19

established at any point and accepted by any

00:53:19 --> 00:53:20

group.

00:53:20 --> 00:53:22

Never had someone from outside a tribe come

00:53:22 --> 00:53:24

and said, I'm coming to you, and I

00:53:24 --> 00:53:24

am the malim,

00:53:25 --> 00:53:26

I am the sheikh.

00:53:26 --> 00:53:27

I am the sheikh of good. I'm going

00:53:27 --> 00:53:29

to be the leader from now on. Unless

00:53:29 --> 00:53:31

this person is coming with an army and

00:53:31 --> 00:53:32

he's slaughtering all the elders.

00:53:33 --> 00:53:35

But coming as an agreement and they are

00:53:35 --> 00:53:37

saying come, yes, come to us. Come and

00:53:37 --> 00:53:39

we will give up our leadership and you're

00:53:39 --> 00:53:40

the leader now. No.

00:53:41 --> 00:53:43

No. That's number 1. This is a big

00:53:43 --> 00:53:45

ask. What I'm trying to do is I'm

00:53:45 --> 00:53:46

trying to explain to you how big an

00:53:46 --> 00:53:47

ask

00:53:47 --> 00:53:49

this bay'a is, this pledge that they're gonna

00:53:49 --> 00:53:51

offer the Prophet alaihis salatu wa sallam is.

00:53:51 --> 00:53:52

Number 2.

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

Your money.

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

Your money. You can't build a country. You

00:53:56 --> 00:53:58

can't build a community. You can't build a

00:53:58 --> 00:54:00

society. You can't start a masjid. You can't

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

have a school. You can't take care of

00:54:02 --> 00:54:04

your youth, you can't have you can't start

00:54:04 --> 00:54:05

small businesses, you can't support

00:54:06 --> 00:54:08

your elderly, or your ill, or immigrants, or

00:54:08 --> 00:54:10

people who are young trying to get married.

00:54:10 --> 00:54:12

You can't do that without money. You know,

00:54:12 --> 00:54:15

as as yqqani worthless money is in the

00:54:15 --> 00:54:18

eyes of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, it's very

00:54:18 --> 00:54:20

valuable when it's used to serve

00:54:20 --> 00:54:23

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Himself and the causes

00:54:23 --> 00:54:24

that please Him. But you can't do this

00:54:24 --> 00:54:25

without money.

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

You can't

00:54:27 --> 00:54:28

expect to be a part of a community

00:54:28 --> 00:54:31

that's gonna go anywhere and not pay anything,

00:54:31 --> 00:54:34

like not put your wealth, put your money

00:54:34 --> 00:54:36

where your mouth is, you can't, it's impossible.

00:54:37 --> 00:54:39

I have to share this with you. Yeah,

00:54:39 --> 00:54:41

I'll talk about this more in the series

00:54:41 --> 00:54:42

of khutbals. I have to share it with

00:54:42 --> 00:54:45

you. I have noticed and I'm saying this

00:54:45 --> 00:54:46

with my I wanna put my

00:54:46 --> 00:54:48

my hand in front of my face, so

00:54:48 --> 00:54:51

I'm embarrassed to say it, but I sense

00:54:51 --> 00:54:52

that this community has this little bit of

00:54:52 --> 00:54:53

entitlement

00:54:53 --> 00:54:55

when it comes to what they expect from

00:54:55 --> 00:54:57

masarajid and people who work in them. I'm

00:54:57 --> 00:54:58

sorry to say it that way, and it

00:54:58 --> 00:55:00

comes from I think from growing up in

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

the Middle East where there's where

00:55:02 --> 00:55:05

there's like a whole ministry that pays that

00:55:05 --> 00:55:07

bills the masajid and pays the shiukh. People

00:55:08 --> 00:55:09

I I I Look,

00:55:09 --> 00:55:10

I'm not upset

00:55:11 --> 00:55:12

by personally by anything at all. I have

00:55:12 --> 00:55:14

There's nothing No one has said anything to

00:55:14 --> 00:55:15

me. Well, people say a lot of things

00:55:15 --> 00:55:16

to me and they upset me, but no,

00:55:16 --> 00:55:18

not regarding this specifically. I'm just I'm just

00:55:18 --> 00:55:20

What I'm saying is, from my observations of

00:55:20 --> 00:55:22

how people are are behaving, and this is

00:55:22 --> 00:55:24

just kind of standing aside and just watching

00:55:24 --> 00:55:27

and listening to how people talk about things.

00:55:27 --> 00:55:29

There is a serious problem of entitlement in

00:55:29 --> 00:55:30

our community

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

from both sides. Just so you understand, from

00:55:33 --> 00:55:36

both sides. From community members who expect

00:55:37 --> 00:55:38

masajid to exist,

00:55:38 --> 00:55:39

function,

00:55:39 --> 00:55:41

offer leadership, give education and mentorship

00:55:42 --> 00:55:45

with their and them offering a $10 donation

00:55:45 --> 00:55:47

on the way out and feeling that's going

00:55:47 --> 00:55:50

to be enough. And also an entitlement from

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

from the institutions.

00:55:51 --> 00:55:53

Entitlement from Masajid as well.

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

Entitlement

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

that people should put their money even though

00:55:57 --> 00:55:58

there's no output.

00:55:58 --> 00:55:59

Even though there's

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

nothing of value happening. Even though they're not

00:56:02 --> 00:56:05

taking they're not surveying people, they're not listening

00:56:05 --> 00:56:07

to them, they're not figuring out whether what

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

they need,

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

what they require. So they're not trying to

00:56:09 --> 00:56:11

actually build programming that will suit them, they

00:56:11 --> 00:56:13

expect them to give them their wealth even

00:56:13 --> 00:56:15

though they're not listening, like they're not listening

00:56:15 --> 00:56:17

to them. How do you expect people to

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

give you if you're not listening to what

00:56:19 --> 00:56:20

they need, you don't really care, you have

00:56:20 --> 00:56:22

your own So we have a problem on

00:56:22 --> 00:56:24

both sides of the I'm

00:56:24 --> 00:56:26

Yeah, this is my full honesty, Ulay.

00:56:27 --> 00:56:28

But you can't expect

00:56:28 --> 00:56:31

for a Muslim society to function without infraq.

00:56:32 --> 00:56:34

He told them, Your money. Whether you have

00:56:34 --> 00:56:35

a lot of it or you have a

00:56:35 --> 00:56:37

little of it, you're going to put your

00:56:37 --> 00:56:37

money.

00:56:38 --> 00:56:39

These are 2

00:56:40 --> 00:56:41

The third,

00:56:43 --> 00:56:44

We're going to change

00:56:44 --> 00:56:45

societal behaviors.

00:56:46 --> 00:56:48

A list of changes are coming. A bunch

00:56:48 --> 00:56:50

of things that were okay, won't be okay

00:56:50 --> 00:56:51

anymore.

00:56:51 --> 00:56:52

And a bunch of things that you never

00:56:52 --> 00:56:54

did, you're gonna start doing. We're gonna start

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

moving things around ethically like we're gonna function

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

differently, you need to be okay with the

00:56:58 --> 00:57:00

social adjustments that I'm going to bring to

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

you. I'm not gonna go say, no no,

00:57:02 --> 00:57:03

you're good the way you are, you're not.

00:57:03 --> 00:57:05

You're not good the way you are. No,

00:57:05 --> 00:57:06

you have to make a bunch of changes

00:57:06 --> 00:57:08

for this to work. You would think that

00:57:08 --> 00:57:09

the prophet

00:57:09 --> 00:57:11

if you obey me and if you give

00:57:11 --> 00:57:12

me your money

00:57:12 --> 00:57:14

No. I'm gonna come and say, here's why

00:57:14 --> 00:57:16

you're making mistakes. This is wrong. You can't

00:57:16 --> 00:57:18

treat her like that. You can't speak like

00:57:18 --> 00:57:20

that. You can't dress like that. You can't

00:57:20 --> 00:57:23

eat or drink that. You can't behave in

00:57:23 --> 00:57:26

this manner. You can't You have to be

00:57:26 --> 00:57:29

okay with all these things. I don't know

00:57:29 --> 00:57:31

how many groups on the planet

00:57:31 --> 00:57:34

would even continue to listen after number 3.

00:57:34 --> 00:57:35

Like, You know what?

00:57:35 --> 00:57:37

A little bit too aggressive for me. Too

00:57:37 --> 00:57:39

many demands. Yeah, we were looking forward to

00:57:39 --> 00:57:41

get to know you but you're very

00:57:41 --> 00:57:43

needy. You know, you're already telling us that

00:57:43 --> 00:57:45

Oh, you have to check. They were listening

00:57:46 --> 00:57:46

very quietly.

00:57:51 --> 00:57:53

And you're going to be fully dedicated.

00:57:53 --> 00:57:55

You're going to sacrifice your time. You're going

00:57:55 --> 00:57:58

to show grit and perseverance and sacrifice and

00:57:58 --> 00:57:59

you're going to have no other priority in

00:57:59 --> 00:58:00

your life that's more important than this one

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

thing. And you will have fear from no

00:58:01 --> 00:58:02

one. You will show courage and you'll show

00:58:02 --> 00:58:04

dedication. And you will not be dancing around

00:58:04 --> 00:58:06

anyone, you won't be looking for to please

00:58:06 --> 00:58:08

anyone else, you will be this is it,

00:58:08 --> 00:58:09

this is what we have, this is what

00:58:09 --> 00:58:11

we're doing and regardless whether people like it

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

or not.

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

Meaning you're going

00:58:15 --> 00:58:17

to isolate yourselves a little bit, you're going

00:58:17 --> 00:58:19

to stand out a bit, you're going to

00:58:19 --> 00:58:21

present yourself as I'm not getting along with

00:58:21 --> 00:58:23

everybody all the time and actually have a

00:58:23 --> 00:58:25

little bit of a problem with the status

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

quo and I'm going to point it out.

00:58:27 --> 00:58:28

And they're still standing.

00:58:29 --> 00:58:31

After these 4 they're still listening. And in

00:58:31 --> 00:58:31

the 5th,

00:58:33 --> 00:58:36

You have to preserve this legacy. You see

00:58:37 --> 00:58:39

preserving him alaihis salatu wa sallam was not

00:58:39 --> 00:58:40

some form of selfish

00:58:40 --> 00:58:41

ask,

00:58:41 --> 00:58:43

no, no. He

00:58:44 --> 00:58:45

is Islam.

00:58:45 --> 00:58:48

He is Islam. He is the legacy

00:58:48 --> 00:58:50

of this deen. He is the word of

00:58:50 --> 00:58:51

Allah

00:58:51 --> 00:58:53

and what he carries obviously. Alaihi Salat wa

00:58:53 --> 00:58:56

Salam is what Islam is. So preserving him

00:58:56 --> 00:58:59

symbolically means you're going to protect this deen.

00:58:59 --> 00:59:02

You're going to protect the deen with everything.

00:59:02 --> 00:59:04

Your lives are going to be less valuable

00:59:04 --> 00:59:06

than the deen that you're protecting. So that

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

has to be the case here.

00:59:09 --> 00:59:11

He said he asked for these 5 things.

00:59:11 --> 00:59:14

People are absolutely quiet.

00:59:14 --> 00:59:16

And then someone says

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

Some person in the back.

00:59:21 --> 00:59:24

Just everyone's quiet. He breaks the awkward silence

00:59:24 --> 00:59:25

and he calls out, What do we get

00:59:25 --> 00:59:26

in return?

00:59:27 --> 00:59:28

You can open

00:59:29 --> 00:59:29

or

00:59:30 --> 00:59:33

any of these books and you will find

00:59:34 --> 00:59:35

one word.

00:59:35 --> 00:59:36

He says

00:59:37 --> 00:59:38

period.

00:59:41 --> 00:59:43

Not an extra syllable.

00:59:43 --> 00:59:45

Not even an extra syllable from him alaihis

00:59:45 --> 00:59:47

salatu wa sallam. That's one word. What do

00:59:47 --> 00:59:49

we get for this?

00:59:51 --> 00:59:52

And then you find a period and then

00:59:52 --> 00:59:54

a new paragraph begins within the books of

00:59:54 --> 00:59:55

Siya'ah. That's it.

00:59:55 --> 00:59:57

That's all you get.

00:59:57 --> 01:00:00

Do we get No. Can we make sure

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

No. Can you ensure that No. Is it

01:00:02 --> 01:00:04

okay No. No. No.

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

But later on who's going Doesn't matter.

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

Is there some way of No. No. You

01:00:09 --> 01:00:11

get Jannah. You get Jannah. You want it?

01:00:11 --> 01:00:13

Take it or leave it. This is the

01:00:13 --> 01:00:14

deal. Take it or leave

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

lead.

01:00:19 --> 01:00:20

Did the Ansar do their job?

01:00:21 --> 01:00:23

You ever noticed that none of the great

01:00:23 --> 01:00:26

leaders of Islamic history were from the Ansar?

01:00:26 --> 01:00:28

Ever noticed that? Ever read and look at

01:00:28 --> 01:00:28

that?

01:00:31 --> 01:00:32

Al Baqar? Quraysh. Amur Quraysh. Azman Quraysh. Ali

01:00:32 --> 01:00:34

Quraysh Muawiya Quraysh.

01:00:37 --> 01:00:38

Where are the ulsar?

01:00:40 --> 01:00:42

They did not hold office

01:00:42 --> 01:00:43

at all.

01:00:44 --> 01:00:45

They

01:00:45 --> 01:00:46

never held office.

01:00:47 --> 01:00:48

They never held office.

01:00:49 --> 01:00:50

They just

01:00:50 --> 01:00:52

they just saw this through

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

and gave their lives for it and then

01:00:55 --> 01:00:56

passed away

01:00:56 --> 01:00:57

and just kind

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

of disappeared into the Islamic

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

fabric of society that came later. They did

01:01:03 --> 01:01:05

there's no they didn't they didn't cash in

01:01:05 --> 01:01:07

at all. That's why the Prophet alaihis salatu

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

wa sallam was saying,

01:01:15 --> 01:01:17

If the people walked in one direction and

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

the Ansar walked in another direction, I walked

01:01:18 --> 01:01:20

in the direction of the Ansar.

01:01:22 --> 01:01:23

If it wasn't for the fact that I

01:01:23 --> 01:01:25

immigrated to Medina, I would want to be

01:01:25 --> 01:01:26

amongst them.

01:01:26 --> 01:01:28

And he would make,

01:01:28 --> 01:01:28

The

01:01:31 --> 01:01:31

is

01:01:32 --> 01:01:33

your is like your it's like a part

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

of you, like they're a part of me,

01:01:35 --> 01:01:36

they're part of me.

01:01:40 --> 01:01:41

The sign of your ima is the love

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

you have for the insar, and the sign

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

of your nifa' is that if you don't

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

love the insar Because

01:01:47 --> 01:01:48

they actually said yes to this.

01:01:49 --> 01:01:51

It took a few minutes, I have to

01:01:51 --> 01:01:52

tell you there's a couple of stories that

01:01:52 --> 01:01:53

I have in Isha. There's a few more

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

stories I have to tell you but eventually

01:01:56 --> 01:01:58

they said yes to this. And I can't

01:01:58 --> 01:02:00

imagine a group on this planet

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

in any circumstance that would be okay with

01:02:02 --> 01:02:03

this.
