00:01:23 --> 00:01:58

00:01:59 --> 00:02:16

respected brothers and sisters, dissolvable lokeren for your patience for being here for such a long time today listening to so many different people with so many different ideas. And I will present my case in a very summarized version

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

of not a very pleasant

00:02:21 --> 00:03:11

genre, which is I think this comes from a song sung by our Kelly. Not that I should be mentioning this, but the idea is great, I believe I can fly. Now what does that mean? I believe I can fly. What does that mean by you know, what do you mean by flying? Okay, flying can be of different sorts, you know, you can fly as a pilot, you can fly as you know, someone who jumps from a plane in a parachute or paragliding or something like that. Or you can fly when you have had a spliff or you've had a sniff of cocaine, you can also fly in that way as well. You know, so, you know, back in the day in Pakistan, there used to work they used to use the word jars

00:03:13 --> 00:03:22

to describe people who were on drugs. I don't know if that's the case today. In in Punjabi, they used to say, oh, Java JRE you know,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:28

so, I still remember those ideas and those thoughts.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:57

So flying can be of different thoughts, but the flying I am going to talk about today's spiritual uplifting, I believe, I can spiritually lift myself to levels only reached by very beloved people to Allah subhanaw taala in the past, and I will give you specific examples of people who reached these levels of closeness to Allah subhanaw taala.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:10

When you say I believe I can fly that means I believe I can reach the heights which Allah requires of his slaves. When it boils

00:04:11 --> 00:05:00

down, Giovanna say she thought over your delta command. What did he mean by that? I am. I love those youngsters. I love the youth that aspires to reach for high goals for high things. You think big, you achieve big, I believe I can fly you must believe in yourselves. Primarily. You must make yourself believe that I can do this. I can do this. I can reach this I can achieve great things in life. You don't think big? You don't achieve big simple, so simple idea. Now the Prophet salallahu Salam he came to a very simple people the bedroom primarily Do you are and they were very straightforward people. You know, their life was very simple. All they had was cameras.

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

No in front of them, and they had the desert and at night they would look at the stars and wonder, where are we? What does this all mean? And because the light was so simple, they became points par excellence. In the English history, the best poets were produced in the 18th century, some of the best English poets were born in the 18th century. Of course, I'm aware that Shakespeare was alive in the 17th century died in the 17th century. But the English language and its expression reached its peak in the 18th century. Likewise, some of the best points in the older language reached this level

00:05:47 --> 00:05:54

in the 18th century, you know, some of the best points or dew points were born in the 18th century 1700s.

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

And why is that? Because they were living simple lives.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:11

And they, they would contemplate about the existence of their, you know, their being, and then they would bring out this amazing poetry.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

So the point I'm making is simplicity,

00:06:18 --> 00:06:46

causes people to become thinkers. And the Quran came to these people, very simple people, the Bedouin, the Arabs, right? So the Quran is speaking to them, giving them simple examples, but at the same time of the Quran does to them is something amazing, something absolutely fascinating. And what is the Quran do to these people, very simple people. Now amazingly, if the Quran came to the Byzantines, the Romans

00:06:48 --> 00:07:29

and if they were to go out and achieve great things, one could argue they already had the civilization they already had the libraries, their books, the Greek mythology, the Greek poetry, the Greek literature, on the other hand, the Persians with the assassinate culture, if the Quran came to the Persians, on the other side, very rich culture, very rich people materially when they looked at the Sahaba, for example, Rustom Mr. Injury recovery in the rates in his history that when Arabia in honor came to discuss or negotiate with rostrum, the Persian Emperor, he looked down upon him, What are you guys doing here? What do you want from us? Do you want goats and camels, take them and go

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

back to the desert, you have no business here in the civilized part of the world.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

For Ruby,

00:07:37 --> 00:08:02

he responded, he said we are not here for your money and your your pump and your glitter and your curtains and your swords, and your gold and your silver and your elephants and all the power you have in your possession. We are here to bring this beloved or this beautiful message to your people. You are an obstacle you stand in the middle you stop us from you stop us from reaching your people. So we you have to go.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:18

So these people, very simple people, how did these people become so brave and so confident, so brave and so confident? Imagine taking a farmer from the middle of Punjab

00:08:19 --> 00:08:39

somewhere in fessler bajo vihari or something like that? Imagine picking up a farmer who has never been to university who doesn't know what Nast is, who doesn't know what the university is, who doesn't have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence some of these professors or some of these generals we have in the Pakistani army have imagine.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

Imagine putting someone like that in front of

00:08:45 --> 00:08:52

a gentleman from the Chinese army or the Russian army. And speaking to him looking in looking and looking him in the eye.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:59

You are nothing telling him you're nothing. That confidence How can that confidence come to these people?

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

What happened to them? What did the Quran do to them Quran made them believe that they could fly. I believe I can fly they started to believe they started to believe themselves that we are believers. We are precious. Allah has given us this Amana this trust, which must reach the rest of humanity.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:38

That is did you sit down? Stay at home and thinking Oh, it's not my problem. I don't have nothing. All I have is a camel. All I have is this palm tree or this palm garden and all I have to do is live here and do nothing and pray. You know Makkah and Medina

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

haramain.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:54

How much reward do we get for praying in Makkah. 100,000 praise. If you pray in congregation in mustard or haram.

00:09:55 --> 00:10:00

The reward is 100,000 prayers. If you pray in congregation

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

in Medina,

00:10:02 --> 00:10:07

the reward is equal to 1000 prayers just by praying

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

and if you pray and muster the oxygen which we will inshallah very soon

00:10:13 --> 00:10:19

inshallah Yes, most of the Aqsa if you pray there in congregation

00:10:20 --> 00:10:24

the reward is 500 prayers. So logically

00:10:25 --> 00:10:45

if the Sahaba were an individualistic people or selfish people or self centered people, logic would dictate that stain makup make Voodoo every single day go to the masjid pray five times a day, Jana guaranteed guarantee Jenna, which is there's no doubt about that.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:58

But they found more reward in something else. They found more reward in something else. For that reason, over 90% of them, they die in places unknown.

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

They died in places unknown we can name some of them who are buried here and there, but we don't know where the majority is. In front of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam at the time of

00:11:12 --> 00:11:43

the last sermon he delivered before he passed away sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he spoke to his people, over 100,000 people. And what is the definition of a companion of the Prophet Allah alone Islam, who is as hobby, as a hobby is someone who has Sahaba with the prophet SAW a lot of salon whether it is for 10 seconds or 10 years, someone who met the Prophet not saw the Prophet met the prophet and died in a state of Eman.

00:11:45 --> 00:12:05

Such is as a hobby, not the Allahu anhu magma in these people, over 100,000 of them. We don't even know the names of majority of them, we only know 10,000 by name 10,000. And if you were to pick a one book asaba Femara for the Sahaba written by a vanilla theory.

00:12:07 --> 00:12:50

He has documented over or close to 8000 biographies of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in this book. It has been translated in Urdu as well. This particular book is called pseudo Baba, by April of last year. And these people, we don't even know the name. Most of them, majority of them, I'm talking about the majority. We know 10,000 of them by name. And some of them we only know by name because they inherited something from the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam. So Allah preserved this person's name, who would be otherwise completely unknown, completely unknown to history of humanity. He simply narrated the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he smiled like this. He

00:12:50 --> 00:13:10

talked like this, he walked like he made Voodoo like this. He said this and this and so and so place. And for that reason, that particular hobby was preserved, his legacy was preserved. Subhan Allah, one of them is a man called jarhead eslami.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:22

A man otherwise unknown. He's only known from one report, which is intimacy. And the report is that the thigh

00:13:24 --> 00:13:28

what we call settles in Arabic, is aura. It is,

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

you know, to be covered.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:44

And for that one report, john has a salami is remembered. And recently, an inscription was found in Saudi Arabia, on rocks, you know, we have inscriptions with the names of the Sahaba. They were

00:13:45 --> 00:14:15

transcribing their names on rocks in the outskirts of Makkah. And this was a phenomenon unknown to most scholars of Islam, it has only recently come to light that these names, you know, for example, there are inscriptions of the time of Qatar mentioning him for the Allahu Allah. So he is only known for one particular report, otherwise it would be unknown. So these people died in the majority outside of the region of Hejaz. Why

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

Abu Zubaydah bin Jarrah is buried in Jordan, which was part of Rome at the time

00:14:25 --> 00:14:40

was bingeable. The man who was sent to Yemen by the progress on the film to teach them Islam is buried in Jordan, near Dead Sea, Bahama yet, then we have an aventura bill is buried in Jordan.

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

Then we have other companions of the Prophet also embedded in North Africa.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

We have some companions buried in Iraq,

00:14:49 --> 00:14:54

some in Central Asia, in the lands of the Turks or the Turkic people.

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

Why? What was Abdullah bin Omar doing in Azerbaijan

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

What's been your man? The Companion of the progress has been doing in Azerbaijan, coming from Mecca. Someone very simple.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:19

In fact, Medina, someone very simple, who had no business in these unknown lands, what was he doing there? Because he believed he could fly.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

He believed he could fly.

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

And he wanted to fly.

00:15:26 --> 00:15:49

And fly he did. So upon a lot. Imagine, today you check, you fly, you take a jet and five hours down the line, you land in Saudi Arabia, and you go around the ISIS joke now. You take a flight from Islamabad, you land in Jeddah in four hours. And then within half an hour, you are in Mecca if a Saudi is driving you.

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

Otherwise, it would take an hour.

00:15:55 --> 00:16:03

When I went to, I went for number one. And I saw the guy, my mistake, my bad. I took him as a taxi driver.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:11

And I said, I want to get to him as soon as possible. He took as soon as possible as a matter of life and death.

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

And my man drove on the hard shoulder all the way.

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

Over 100 miles an hour. We were in Makkah within 25 or 30 minutes or something like that crazy.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:27

So you can reach NACA within hours.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:36

But in the year 1900, not very long ago. It would take people three years to reach Makkah.

00:16:38 --> 00:16:44

So what about the time of the Sahaba I have traveled the entire length of North Africa by road.

00:16:46 --> 00:17:01

I myself drove from Morocco, to Egypt. There are parts in Libya, parts of land in Libya, where if you were to lose your caravan, if you were to break down, you will die.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:07

You will die in Libya, in Algeria, there are parts where there is nothing.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:25

And these people on the foot, on the camels and on the horses. They flew to all these four far off places because they believed they could fly. They believed in Islam, and Islam. Give them that confidence, that courage that drive

00:17:27 --> 00:17:34

that will which enabled them to do what they did, achieved great things. Howard Johnston,

00:17:35 --> 00:17:44

a historian from the Oxford University wrote a book with witnesses to a world crisis in the year 2010. In this book, he writes this book the Quran,

00:17:46 --> 00:17:50

within 20 years of the advent of Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam

00:17:53 --> 00:18:09

the political landscape of Arabia changed beyond recognition. Why? Because there was something very special about these people's belief. We don't have that belief. We don't have that belief and that drive and that confidence. Our reading of the Quran is different to theirs.

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

They believe they could fly and they flew

00:18:14 --> 00:18:19

we claim we can fly but we don't fly. We have become flies

00:18:23 --> 00:18:29

and this is what the problem is. So any politician who comes to power all you have to do monkey you know

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

that's what they're doing.

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

Because we believe we are flies.

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

We don't believe we can fly.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:47

So my brothers and sisters, the examples I wanted to give this was my thumb heat By the way, Mama Kadima introduction to my talk.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:54

And now my talk will begin very soon, inshallah. So,

00:18:56 --> 00:19:21

as for their condition, their state of mind, these very simple people would change beyond recognition. These were a very selfish people. The Quran comes to them, and suddenly they become concerned about a goat dying in Iraq. Ahmed bin Pathak rhodiola, Juan, when he was not a Muslim, he used to torture Muslims.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:52

He used to torture Muslims. One of the women who came to Islam from bundler or de Bono, or they was the tribe of Omar bin khatam. And he was one of the top negotiators. And he was one of the most powerful men in this tribe. And one of the women she came to Islam and he was beating her for that. And when he got tired, he sat to rest. And he said to her, don't think I have any mercy for you.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

I only sit because I am tired. This is Ahmed

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

and when he became a Muslim

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

He used to cry so much out of his concern for this man that they were marks on his cheeks of crying, you know, tears when they fall down. They leave marks on your cheeks, right? He used to cry excessively. And he used to say if a goat dies

00:20:19 --> 00:21:04

in Iraq, on the banks of river Euphrates, I will be held responsible for that that sense of responsibility. A very famous story authentically narrated by Aslam, one of the servants of Omar bin Khattab, that he was walking in the outskirts of Medina, and he saw kids playing and there was fire burning. So he reached this family. These were these were days of famine when there was a drought in Arabia. So he sees a woman with children and the children are crying. And there's a pot boil boiling on fire. And he asks, What is this? And she said, I am pretending that I'm cooking something so that my children stop while they are waiting to go to sleep.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:09

There is nothing to feed them. And I will take honor

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

on the Day of Judgment by the forelock. I will ask him, and he said How does he know about your condition? Little did she know that she was actually speaking to American hapa rhodiola Juan.

00:21:24 --> 00:21:28

And he said to the woman How does Oman Oman know what's happening here.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:39

And Homer was shaken so much by his sense of responsibility. He ran back to Medina, he collected some food,

00:21:42 --> 00:22:04

some some substance for food and he came back. And when he put the bag on his shoulder, Aslam, his companion, his servant, he said, Let me carry this for you, your amirul momineen. And he said, You will not carry this for me on the Day of Judgment. So I carry it now for myself. He goes, he cooks the food for children

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

while they wait, and then he waits for them to finish. And Aslam, the rates that when Omar was blowing on fire, for it to inflame, smoke was going into his beard, I saw that smoke going into his bed

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

and then on top, sat back watching these children eat.

00:22:29 --> 00:22:38

And then they started to play once they had the fill and he went for off to another place or before he left. He said to this woman.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:58

Actually the woman said to him that you should be our caylus upon Allah. She's talking to the Kailash himself. She said you should be a leader. Whereas you should be a leader. And he did not say to her who he is in he said when you see a mirror meaning when you see

00:22:59 --> 00:23:02

speak nicely to him. speak nicely to him.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:30

And he left and then Aslam, the rates that he was Omar was so moved by this experience, that he sat down from distance and he was watching these children play until they went to sleep. Roger lavon This is the same moment. Koran, there's nothing else to it. The Quran Islamic civilization is the Quran. There is no Islamic civilization what the Muslims achieved in Cordoba, or in Baghdad or in Damascus, all all the

00:23:32 --> 00:23:45

laboratories of science, all the libraries, all the hospitals, all the roads, all the streetlights, all the sophistication, all the philosophy, Islamic civilization has the Quran

00:23:47 --> 00:23:48

at its root,

00:23:49 --> 00:24:33

and it was the Quran that made them fly. It was this book where everything goes back. It was the book of Allah subhanaw taala that book drove this confidence in the minds of these people that they became so outward looking, not inward looking. You see, the problem with us is today that we are too lost in our own problems. A Sabra soon as problems Sahaba were not free of problems, read the lives, pick up any early history of Islam or any Hadees book almost xenophobic to shape it mobisaver read about the Sahaba and you will see the kind of difficulties they faced in the lives but they did not sit at home thinking okay, let me do all all my life. Let me sit next to this little tiny piece of

00:24:33 --> 00:24:59

land or this plot in berrier town or that plot in that society or this plot in that society. Or let me do this my little chunk of you know, my little DERA maybe 20 cows or 20 buffaloes let me die next to the No, they lacked everything. They said, We have a purpose in life we need we must go out and do something to save humanity from problems. The Quran was the key word

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

I believe the Quran was a cure.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:06

They believe the Quran was a cure, and it is the cure.

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

And they took it out there, they didn't sit at home. Now, they didn't believe that they were to die, where they were born rather, this is why they died outside. And for this reason, for this reason they were able to achieve

00:25:24 --> 00:25:37

so much in such a short span of time, because the Koran gave them this outward looking attitude, outward looking attitude, which Montgomery Ward describes as the cause,

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

which is why the atoms came out.

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

It comes the angel of death.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

Metaphorically

00:25:54 --> 00:26:00

so the point is, they actually believed in the Quran, and the Quran made them fly.

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

They were already flies.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:32

They were already flies dying like flies. No one knew about them. No one wanted them. No one wanted to know them. There was nothing interesting about the Arabs. There were hardly noticed by historians, pre Islamic historians. They were they are very scanty references to them in, for example, Christian histories. Right. So Dominus, who was a Christian historian writing in the fourth century, he writes, The Arabs are the children of Ishmael, and they are circumcised. That's all. That's all he had to say.

00:26:33 --> 00:26:37

And they are a barbaric people. And they call them Saracens.

00:26:38 --> 00:27:05

So there was nothing interesting about the Arabs, the Koran, makes them very special, suddenly, everyone starts to notice them. And there comes a time within 2030 years, everyone wants to study the Arabic language. And then there comes a time in medieval Spain in the ninth century in the mid 19th century, in 850s. in Cordoba in Kurkova, where, Paul, when he went, he started to cry, and read Paul's poetry on

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

Muskoka Kurkova, the mosque of codabar.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:40

He started to cry for a reason. And when you go there, you do cry, what the Muslims have had achieved, and in age 15, and quarter by in this very city, a man called Paul Alva Cruz, who was a Christian activist, he writes that the Christians, the youngsters, have become so inspired by the Arabs, they do not read Latin commentaries anymore. They don't read Latin literature anymore, but they do read his Arabic language,

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

to be more elegant, to be more graceful, to be more,

00:27:45 --> 00:27:47

you know, educated.

00:27:48 --> 00:27:59

And they have mastered the language to such a high level that they can write poetry in this language better than the Christian Christian youngsters.

00:28:01 --> 00:28:31

And to stop this influence of Islam and the beautiful culture of Islam, the culture, the inspiration Islam had to offer to others, they initiated a movement called the martyrs of Cordoba, some Christian clergy, they said, We need to cause some problem, because all the Christians will be lost to Islam. And he will mix it with Muslims too much is bound to become a Muslim, not by force, by influenced by culture, by the beauty of the culture, by the behavior by what they had achieved.

00:28:32 --> 00:28:35

So this initiated this movement called the martyrs of Cordoba.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:55

And in this movement, what they would do is they would go in front of the Muslim judge in Cordoba, and they would curse the Prophet sallallahu ala, deliberately curse the Prophet, and the judge would try to, you know, somehow dissuade them and all stop doing this, don't do it, don't do it don't and they would do it. And they would persist in doing it. And the law

00:28:56 --> 00:29:00

in court about which was an Islamic State at the time,

00:29:01 --> 00:29:12

they executed close to 50 people for doing this. And this the Christian clergy, the Christian activists did to stop this rapid

00:29:13 --> 00:29:47

convert conversion to Islam of Christian youth, because they were highly inspired not by sword, not by sword. So the point is, Islam made Muslims achieve all these things for a reason. So what about difficult days, times of difficulty? What happens? What do we do in those times when we are suppressed when we have too many difficulties difficulties facing us? I'll give you a few examples very quickly so that you can understand what I'm talking about. When difficulty comes. There is more need for you to initiate

00:29:48 --> 00:29:52

the movement of Islam to reassert your identity

00:29:53 --> 00:29:55

to live up to the standards of Islam.

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

So in the 18th century, when the Mughals had lost power

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

Coming from the life of the Sahaba into the 18th century in India, more homely to ours, or to our situation.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:23

Who has heard of sha Allah Allah? Put your hands up. Almost everyone. Okay? Thank you. I would not be exaggerating if I was to say most of you are Muslims, Sunni Muslims

00:30:24 --> 00:30:26

because of Sharia law,

00:30:27 --> 00:30:37

because a shower your lodge mentally if it was not for his hard work, his heart resort, his confidence, his belief that he could fly.

00:30:40 --> 00:30:49

Only Allah knows what would happen to Islam in India. Only Allah knows why. Let me explain. When was he born, he was born in the year 1703.

00:30:50 --> 00:30:57

Four years before the Emperor Aurangzeb, he died. The rain of orange a was

00:30:59 --> 00:31:23

an Islamic rain, according to the Muslim perspective. Now he's a very much demonized character in India, the the bathroom towel, or the RSS version of history or the Modi version of history is very hostile to orange. People like orange zevalin view, he is painted as a bigot, as, as someone who forced Islam upon people as someone who was very intolerant.

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

On the other hand, people like gelato did Muhammad Akbar who apostatize from Islam, who became a more thug, or Dara shikoh.

00:31:32 --> 00:31:36

One of the brothers of orange, they're the eldest son of Sharjah Han they are painted as heroes

00:31:38 --> 00:31:41

when they were no different if they were to govern.

00:31:43 --> 00:32:15

But there is a systematic attempt in India to demonize these characters recently, they change the name of a road in Delhi, from orange to Apple column, you know, the president who died in India. And then very recently, there was a controversy about people's vote on anyone who asserted his Islamic identity was problematic to RSS, or to Bertrand Dahl or the people who are governing the extremists, the fundamentalist and the terrorists who are governing India right now, as we speak, this guy Modi, he killed over 3000 Muslims in good rock.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:25

And they are trying to distort history for that reason we need to reassert our identity and bring the history out and show people what these people actually work.

00:32:26 --> 00:33:00

And a bit of advertisement for our work. I have I have devised courses, full day courses on these individuals. We have a course on Sharia law, a full day course which we will launch in Pakistan inshallah very soon, we have a course on orange, a volunteer, a full day course again, and a course on people's hold on a full day course to put the record straight based upon academic sources, not our version of history, rather, the objective academic version of history. What do the historians have to say about these people? So Shambala was born in

00:33:02 --> 00:33:06

a period of turmoil political turmoil, when he became a young man.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:12

He saw Muslims losing their power in India

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

and being massacred and brutalized by

00:33:18 --> 00:33:22

anti Islam powers such as the Murata or the merata,

00:33:23 --> 00:34:15

the Sikhs in Punjab the jots and then the British later on that happened after shower Lula died so what was he to do shower Lula? What would he do is the time for McGriff number three, okay, I'll be finishing very soon inshallah. So, we can go and pray Maghrib inshallah. So shall we will not go too late. When he was a young man of 29 or 30, he realized something must be done. Other allama were there. There were other scholars, many scholars, hundreds of them in India, no one really cared like he did. He wanted to do something. He believed in the Quran, he wanted to make a difference. He wanted to rise or cause the Muslims to rise once again to defend the identity. And this is very

00:34:15 --> 00:34:50

clear from his letters. A collection of his letters is highly recommended, written by or compiled or collected by Felipe Ahmed Nizami and the book is very difficult to find, unfortunately, is called Chava. You're lucky SLC MK to bought showerwall your last political letters that will give you an idea what this man was. He was not only a scholar, sitting in His sanctuary, writing books, and not caring what's happening on the street outside. He traveled to Hejaz to gain authority from the scholars of ages. He learns

00:34:52 --> 00:35:00

and he only stays 14 months because he was a since a man. Allah put so much blessing in his time that only in 14 months, he was

00:35:00 --> 00:35:44

able to study a number of different books of Hadees from a number of different authorities. The main authority took a diesel from was our hero Abu pyre Alcor the Shang Abu Taha al Kurdi was his main teacher, so he took these from him. And within 14 months he was able to study Sahih Bukhari is a Muslim so no daarmee mata Mr. Malik. And for that reason, when he came back, he wrote a commentary on the motto of Mr. Malik very unique work. So his companions who went with him at the time and who came back with him, they stated when he returned, he was a change demand. That one journey that travel changed him, and his delivery and his content changed completely. And when he returned, he

00:35:44 --> 00:35:45

wrote books.

00:35:47 --> 00:35:56

And such books have never been written in the history of Islam. One of them one of them in particular, on Islamic philosophy is called horchata. Law Hill Barletta

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

decisive argument for God.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:39

And this book is highly recommended. It's translated into English language. The original is in Arabic, it is also available in Urdu translation, I highly recommend you to read this book. And then he wrote other books. So this was a scholarly side, but his political side is what I wanted to talk about when he became active, because he started to believe that it is his responsibility to protect the Muslims of India. So he corresponded with Nizam of duckin. He corresponded with Nawab Najib Allah, who was governing centrally, the state of awakened in central India, he corresponded with Abidjan, Dali the king of Atlantis, Dawn, come and protect your brothers and sisters, because they

00:36:39 --> 00:36:59

are dying, they are being killed day and night by the mirages. And the results, according to some scholars, although I have my doubts on this point, but the result was 1761, the Battle of panipat, where the mulatos were defeated and crushed by a Machar and his allies such as done his arm, and ajibola.

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

A man

00:37:02 --> 00:37:48

I cannot simply do justice in one, five minutes talk to this man's legacy. Another individual I want to mention who actually truly believed he could fly, and he did actually fly was sold on people, or people sold on. Now we know about his military strength we know about his wars, we know about his the fact that he died on the battlefield willingly. What we don't know about him is his ability to govern the affairs of the Muslims in particular. And the rest of his people in general, people's Hold on, was a very unique King. If you read about him, you will see how strong a king he was as a Muslim in particular, that's why he has become a villain in the RSS version of history. If you read

00:37:48 --> 00:37:51

one of his books, title or his personal

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

keep giving them to me, no problem.

00:37:56 --> 00:38:39

I've collected so many of them now. I'll stop very soon. If you read his dreams, you know, typical band was a man who was very secretive about his secretive thoughts. So he used to have dreams, okay. And then he had a very small diary, which he kept for himself, recording his dreams. And this particular collection is called club nom it was hooked on this manuscript was found by the British in his drawer, when they took the pallets of Sterling apothem. It was found in his drawer, and that shows you what the man was. There are dreams which he had documented for himself alone for not, not for the public, it was not to show off to the public, because his own servants narrated to the

00:38:39 --> 00:38:46

British, that whenever we walked into the room, when he would be reading or compiling this book, he would close it. And he would ask what do you want leave.

00:38:47 --> 00:39:05

I'm in my private business. And in this book, he has dreams where the messenger of a loss of the loss of them appeared to him in his dreams, telling him that you will meet us in general and Jonathan for those. In other words, I believe he was told before he died, that he will be given a high status agenda die as he's

00:39:06 --> 00:39:48

fighting for the hawk fighting the truth. So the point is, he was a very able man, he corresponded with the Sultan of Turkey, he corresponded with Napoleon Bonaparte, he corresponded with Thomas Jefferson in America, the Declaration was that he was involved in the American Civil War, when the British and the Americans are fighting each other. He was involved in that he corresponded with zamanda, the great grandson of amateur Dali, and the man shot he was he actually convinced him he wrote to the man shot the king of Atlantis, Stan, just like your grandfather came to rescue Muslims, you are needed once again come and rescue Muslims once again. And what was the point? He said to the

00:39:48 --> 00:39:53

one shot that there is a very weak king in Delhi, who was

00:39:54 --> 00:40:00

Shah alum who was governing India who died in 1806. So you come from

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

In the north from Afghanistan, and I will come from the south. And we will appoint, appoint enable Qing in India so that Muslims can have peace again in India. They're not threatened by the British, the mulatos and other anti Islam forces. The mancia took an army and he came to be showered with his arm.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:57

And typical Tom was wearing his army. And then Iran attacked the manchild from behind from Iraq, and he had to return to protect his own domain. And he was left alone again. So this story is very long brothers and sisters, the point I want to make is that there are individuals in our history who believed they could fly, and they did great things. They did great things that left a great legacy for us to look at and take lessons from it. We are living in times of turmoil. Islam is being demonized on a global scale. We are made to look like the problem. When you land on American airports, you are treated as terrorists, you are looked

00:40:58 --> 00:41:25

as a problem. You're not treated as humans in Europe, anti Islam Islam movement is on the rise. I live in Europe. I live in Britain. I know what's happening there. I know what's happening in Germany. I know what's happening in France. Right wing parties have come to power and they want to drive the Muslims out on TV channels. They are saying things about Islam. You would never imagine 10 years ago 10 years ago.

00:41:27 --> 00:41:36

We need to believe we can fly like the Sahaba and like those people will look up to in our history, and then we will fly. Thank you so much for listening was Salam aleikum wa Taala 100 layerable army

(Islamabad, 2016
