who's a favorite on Yemen rhodiola one is one of the greatest or most illustrious companions of our prophets, Allah Allah He will send them
a companion from the companions of the unsung. He is one of the most well known mono one of the most famous of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He has a number of virtues that are mentioned in the Sunnah. From amongst the virtues of this illustrious Companion of the Allah one is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam disclosed to him and him alone. The name of all of the companions, the name of sorry, rather the name of all of the hypocrites in Medina. For more of the companions, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam chose him, and he informed him that these are the people who are hypocrites in Medina. He was therefore known as Sahaba. The companion who had
the secrets of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. It was for this reason that after the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Ramana, the loved one came to me he asked him, I asked you today for By Allah, was my name mentioned amongst that list of names that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave to you? Did he consider me to be one of those hypocrites?
And how they followed the alarm rang, replied and he said, No, I will never tell anyone after you. This was a secret that was disclosed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And that's why there's even aerations that afterwards when the alarm rang during this khilafah when he would say to pray for that in my inner circle, my advisors, my governance, is there anyone that you know, to be a hypocrite? Are they for the long run would say yes, but he wouldn't name them. If he knew that someone had tocris he was one of those people mentioned by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he would say yes, but he wouldn't disclose the name, because this was a secret given to him by the
prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from amongst the virtues of this illustrious companion or the low one is that on the Battle of
the battle that took place where the Confederates came, and the surrounded Medina, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said one night true from amongst you, addressing his companions, who from amongst you will go out and find news of the aurash of what they're doing, what they're planning. He asked the companions and he said, Whoever does this will have my companionship on your meal piano, he will be my companion on the Day of Judgment, or they follow the law who answers no one answered, No one spoke. So a second time the professor seldom said who will bring me news of the enemy, and in return, he will have my companionship on human piano. But again, no one spoke a third
time he asked again, and again, no one responded. On the fourth time, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Oh halifa Go and bring the news. He pinpointed or for the for Go and bring me news. Or they followed the alarm rang, said I went, and I worked as if I was a bird, meaning like the secretively, and I saw what I saw from the people of operation, Abu sufian. And I came back and I told the profits on a low while he will sell them. This is a virtue from the virtues of for the for the long run. But this illustrious companion amongst the many virtues that he has and that He is known for, perhaps the most famous is that he was a specialist in fitten, in trials and tribulations
from amongst all of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and in fact, even today, many of the narrations that we have from the Prophet sallallahu
He will send them concerning the issue of trials at his own mobile phase. It is narrated by this illustrious companion around the long run. He was known for being a specialist in this field. He was someone who was preoccupied with this issue, because he was afraid that it would affect him. He was afraid that he would have to confront these types of issues. And that is where rhodiola when after the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one day said to the companions, who was sitting around him, who from amongst you will narrate to me the Hadith of the fitna of the trials. So are they followed the alarm rang said that it is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said fitna
to rajala female he what he wanted from the trials that we face as Muslims from the trials of the people, is the trials that they have in their wealth, and that they have in their family and that they have in their children. And that which expats these types of trials is your Salah and your sadhaka and to enjoin the good and forbid the evil armor of the Allah one said, it is not this fitna that I was referring to Oliva, but it is the fitna that the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam concerning it, that it will crash upon us like a wave. It will come upon us like a tidal wave. Or they forgot the last one said, Oh Rama, why are you preoccupied with this? For the rest between you
and that trial, a door a gate that is locked, they will never open for you. It is not an issue that you have to deal with. For those who come after you. It will be an issue. So I'm gonna do languange said escaped, will it be broken? Or will it be opened? Or the facade rather it will be broken is the rating in the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam rather it will be broken. So he replied and he said Rama said therefore if it is broken, never again will it be sealed? Never again would it be locked an open door you can close a broken door will never again be sealed. So remember, the alarm rang left to companions around for the for the set? Oh for the for? Why didn't Amaro de la
Huang asked you concerning the door? Did he know the meaning of this gate the store? He said yes. He knew the meaning of the gate, just as one of us knows for certainty that after night, there is day. They said so what does it refer to? He said it refers to Rama rhodiola himself. The gate is Rama, meaning after his death, it will be broken and the Phaeton will begin to come upon this oma, this Companion of the Allah and he says concerning himself in the Hadith that is an Al Bukhari and Muslim canon nurseries aluna Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and inhale. Welcome to the show. Mahabharata and UD Kenny. The Companions the people they will ask the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam concerning the good. And I would ask him concerning the evil act of fear that he would confront me. This was a companion who lived in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the best of generations, during the lifetime of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the companionship of the likes of Abu Bakr and Omar and Reza man and Ali rhodiola, and many other virtuous companions, all of the heads of fitten. They speak about these trials that will come upon this honor, but they all come after, or most of them come after the generation of the companions, or of the long run. Yet still, even despite him living in that age of piety, living in that age, where
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is alive and he is advising them and guiding them. Still, he would be extremely afraid, frightened for himself for his religion, when these trials would come, and they may or may not strike. And this is an important point because today we live in one of those eras of trials. We live in a time when there are many problems and difficulties that we're facing, whether as individuals or communities or as a Muslim Ummah, in its totality. We're living in a time of fitna time of trials, yet for the vast majority of us were heedless and neglectful when it comes to this issue. We don't really study it, we don't really look into it. We don't research it. We
don't see what Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran concerning trials and the word fitna, in the Quran is mentioned many, many times. No Do we study or analyze the Hadith of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam where he speaks about fitna and the trials that will come the trials that this woman will face, yet the Companions for some of them, this was one of the most important issues because in times of ease and Felicity in times of goodness and hope, it is easy to worship a loss of habitat order is easier to worship Allah because you're not being tried or tested in your faith. It is when those travels come upon you, whether it is a trial that you're facing of a personal nature
and your wealth, your family, your children, your parents or siblings
your job, your health, or whether it's a trial that we as Muslim community face, like the trials that we're facing, in our current time, when it's difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, falsehood and truth, when it is difficult to distinguish between those people who are truthful and those people who are lying, and that in and of itself is a trial, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wanders off, that our time would come when the one who is truthful, would be considered a liar, and the one who is a liar would be considered to be truthful, and the one who is trustworthy is considered to be treacherous, and the one who is treacherous is considered to be worthy. From the
signs of utopia mayor is a fitna but Despite living in those times, were heedless of this issue. As a follow up to your loved one was a companion, who in this regard, we owe him a great debt. He has a great virtual great favor upon us, because he from amongst the companions, used to ask the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam concerning this issue, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam understood that this was something that relief on the long run grasp. So he would tell the prophets that he will tell him what he needed to know. In this hadith and I narrated to you the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for the for the Alo one says, that I said to the Prophet said in the
people asked you about God, but I would ask about even out of fear that he would harm me. He says in this hadith I said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in akuna, fija, helia, Masha, Allah, messenger of Allah, we were in evil, we will enjoy helium. That's what we lived in. For German Allah will be harder for you than Allah bow to us this good, meaning Islam, meaning the meaning, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have
been sharp, so will they be evil after this good? Will there be a time after this good that evil will come upon this oma for the for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied, and he said, Now, yes, a time will come, when evil will follow this good. So for the facettes then I asked for help. Article shall remain hi higher is the rafter that evil another time of God. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said none Buffy. Yes, there is a time that will be good, but it will be embellished for call to mama duck. No. So I asked him what is this embellishment in this time of God? So he replied and he said, Oh man, you're gonna be late he had the temerity for me home to a
group of people who will guide by other than my guidance, they will use other than my guidance to guide some of the things that you see from them you will approve of, and other things that you see from them you will disapprove of so for the for the loved one said for held back the vertical dimension. So then will there come a time of evil after the time of God? falana illa Bobby jahannam mana Java home in a movie? He said yes. And this is the part of the Hadith that I want us to concentrate upon. He said yes, a time will come and they will be called us to the gates of how fire whosoever responds to them, they will throw them into it. Whosoever responds to these colors, they
will take them and they will throw them into the fire. Well to Yasuo Lhasa from Lana. So I said O Messenger of Allah describe them to me, who are these people? Because I believe one of the alone one is afraid is not just asking because he wants theoretical knowledge or abstract information, but he's asking because he's afraid that our time will come upon him or upon his children or grandchildren where they will have to live with this. They will have to face up to this slip for millennia Rasul Allah described these people to me these corners to the gates of how fire but on a human jilda Tina, your tequila Muna bl, Tina, Tina. These are a group of people these corners to the
fire, they will be from us. What does that mean? They will be from us, meaning that they are known as Muslims. We call them Muslims. We recognize them as being Muslim. You're gonna be elsina t Athena. They will speak with our tongue. They will speak with terminologies that we are familiar with phrases that we understand, they will quote the Quran, they will quote Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they speak with our tongues they are from amongst us, all to format Moroni, in any value. So for the for the Allah answer or messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do? If such a time whatever to come upon me? By Allah tells me Jonathan muslimeen a man, he said
then stay with the body of the Muslims stay united with the Muslims, if there is a single Imam, if there is a halifa the Muslims are united, stay with them, or to fail them. Yes
ma'am.
What if or messenger have a line that time there is no single body of Muslims, there is no single Imam, Bernard
Kula Willow and
Tara had Eureka, Montana that, he said, then stay away from all of those groups. Stay away from all of those groups don't respond to any of them. Even if it means that you must bite down on to the roots of a tree, and let death come to you was that is your situation, this hadith in Bukhari and Muslim. This had either pray for the alarm one has many, many benefits, many, many lessons. And if I was to even try to start dissecting this hadith from the beginning, it would take many years for me to do. But I want to mention to you just two or three points that it is extremely important that we understand. The first of those points is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam knew and
understood what this oma would face. He knew and thereby by extension and more, befitting that Allah subhanho wa Taala knows what would be full of trials and tribulations. And therefore if they knew that this would happen, then the wait salvation and the past to overcome those trials, it is mentioned in the Book of Allah and in the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This isn't just something which happened to us, we had no information of no news concerning no one for told us that this will take place. Rather the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam knew from the knowledge that Allah subhanho wa Taala give to him. From amongst the benefits of this hadith is that
a time will come when things will be so difficult for people to ascertain whether they are correct to incorrect truth or falsehood that you don't know the people who even though they may call themselves Muslims, or they may even be considered to be people who have some level of knowledge, or people who you see them and you may even consider them to have some level of piety. They will be people from us, they will speak with our language, yet still there from the callers to the gates of the fire. So what do you during such times, stay away from all of those groups, preoccupy yourself with what will benefit you and you stand before a larger agenda on the day of just when a large
soldier will ask you about what you did? Not when he will ask you about anyone else or anything else. But first and foremost, Allah will ask you what you did with that which was in your means and capability. When we look at the origin, Allah subhana wa Taala uses the word fitna a number of times in the Quran, when he discusses the major trials that are afflicted, what are the major trials that come upon us as humans? There are a number of them but there are two that I want to bring your attention to that go hand in hand with this Hadith of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam narrated by for the for the long run. The first of them is following the footsteps of shapen
colossal panatela in the Quran, when he speaks about those people who follow shippon meaning that they disobey Allah subhana wa Tada. they disobey the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they follow shaytan they follow their own desires in following shape on Allah subhanho wa Taala calls this fitna in the Quran. Allah azza wa jal says yeah Benny Adam, life tienen nacoochee Pon karma hora Java a communal agenda tianxiang Houma labasa, whom Allah Uriah who Masada Hema are children of Adam, don't let shall upon be a fitna for you. Don't let shall upon be a trial for you. Just as he expelled your forefathers meaning Adam and his wife from gentlemen, just as he caused them to leave,
gentlemen, descend to this earth. Don't be a fitna for you. Why should a foreigner fitna because when we give shapen precedence when we follow shapen and that means when we disobey Allah azza wa jal, we leave the commandments of Allah and His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that in and of itself is one of the major causes of fitna and that is a fitna most often deals with us as individuals that will strike us in the personal sense. We will have problems with our families with our wives, our husbands, our children with our wealth and our health, with the Baraka Allah subhanho wa Taala will normally place within those blessings that He has given to us and bestowed upon us and
that is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the hadith of jabber rhodiola one in Sahih Muslim, English a foreigner, Yoda in the beliefs of shadow Allah, the throne of Iblees is upon the ocean, and every single morning, he believes he sends out his armies of devils, that they may go and cause problems. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
describing these armies of devils that he sends out for a dinner woman, woman, zillah 10 or a woman whom fitna
those from amongst his armies, those soldiers of his that are closest to a police, meaning that he honors the most of those who can cause the greatest fitna. That is what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, and then he expanded upon this, then in the evening, when they come back, at least asks them what what did you do? So one of them says that I call so and so still. The other one says that I call so and so traumatic. The other one says that I suppose so and so to do a, b, and c, and all of them shape on or oblique says to them, you did well, but that's all until one of them comes in. He says to him, that today I caused the husband and wife to split. Husband and wife, I
destroyed their marriage to him. He says you come close to me. You sit next to me, and he will honor that one. Why? Because his actions cause the greatest fitna it is the greatest trial. So Allah subhanho wa Taala in the Quran, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam they warned us against this also kind of attire that says, For every Latina you Holly foreigner and Emily, and to sleep at night on OUC Bahama de la.
We were Be cautious of those who oppose the commandments of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that they will strike them a fitna or they will strike them a painful punishment. They will strike them a fitna because when you oppose the commandments of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you are upon dangerous territory, dangerous ground until and unless you return to Allah subhana wa Taala by making Toba until you return unless you return to the way that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam laid out before us the second use of the word fitna in the Quran that alaric Xhosa brings to our attention to show to us the this the importance of this issue and how dangerous it is.
It is when people follow the motto Shabbat those things which are unclear about our religion, those things that you need to study Islam you need to become a scholar, you need to seek knowledge to understand them and place them in the correct place in this religion. Allah Subhana Allah says in the opening passage of sort of earlier imraan for me Lavina fiocco became z Han Fei Tabby. Runa mata shaba Hummingbird de la l fitna Welcome to Wheeler has for those who have some some disease in their heart, then they will follow from the Koran, the ambiguous the unclear versus if the law and fitna because they seek fitna that is what they want, Bob to really because they want to give the or on
their own interpretation. Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran, that the Quran has clear verses, verses the role of us as Muslims know and we understand when a lion soldier says to us pray, and he orders us to fast and he commands us to give sadaqa and to perform and to be good to our families and to our parents and to our spouses and to look after our children and so on and so forth. These are clear verses of the Quran. But then there are other verses of the Quran that you need to study Islam in order to be able to understand verses like the verses of jihad, you can't just take one in isolation and go and implement it You must understand the whole issue. You must
understand the commandment of Allah and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because to raise a weapon against any other person, it is from the grievous of sins in Islam, if it is not done correctly. So again, Allah subhanho wa Taala warns us against these two things. Number one, following the footsteps of shavon. There is a fitna for me and you personally. And number two following the ambiguous Why? Because that is a fitna for us as a community for us as an omen throughout Oregon and I wish that I had more time to throw out the Quran you will find many, many times that Allah subhanaw taala uses the word fitna, and the word fitna, and the Quran has over a
dozen meanings, over a dozen meanings in the Quran, just for one word, the word fitna. All of this to show as the sponsor mentioned in the under when a large xojo concentrates on a single issue, and he repeats it over and over again. It is because it is extremely important for me and you to take notice of that issue. It is something which affects all of us, especially in this time that we live in and in this climate, and especially for the future of our children. barakallahu li walakum wa Suna wonderfully well Jacobi Murphy mammillaria Apollo pony hada Mustapha de la honey welcome and engineering muslimeen I'm including them infrastop Pharaoh in number one
smilla salatu salam ala rasulillah Ali, he was talking to a woman wider
seldom at the Sleeman kathira. Remember, just as I mentioned this to us the word fitna a number of times the Quran also tells us and the sin of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the ways that we overcome this fitna and the means by which we gain salvation. There are many of them. But the two that I want to mention to you very quickly, is number one, knowledge. And number two, your connection with Allah subhana wa, Tada. Any fitna that comes upon you either have a personal nature, or be that of a nature which affects all of us together as a community or as an oma. Every single trial that comes across that you come across these two means or these two ways or the path to
salvation. Number one knowledge that you know, and you're able to differentiate from what Allah wants and that which he doesn't want what pleases Allah, what displeases a lot, what is allowed and what is not allowed. And number two, that knowledge bring you closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala. We take this from the head without the gel.
The gel is something which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that there won't be a fitna that is greater for the soma from the time of Adam until yom Okayama, that is greater than the trial of the jungle. It is the greatest fitna, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sitting with his companions, and he was explaining to them this issue of the jungle. And he went through a long duration mentioned to the many aspects of the jungle, when he will come, how long he will stay, and so on and so forth. From the things he said to them that when he will come, he will stay upon earth for 40 days, one day will be the length of the year, one day, the length of a month, one day,
the length of a week, and every other day will be like normal days. This Hadith is a long hottie. And there are many other Hadith concerning the job. When you bring all of these hobbies together, you will find that the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for more of the questions that they could have asked for one of the questions that we often ask one another to ourselves when we come across this issue of the journal and these Hadith and narrations concerning that the Jad for more of those questions that a person could possibly ask, the companions only asked a single question. And that question to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam was not concerning
how they should defeat the job. It wasn't concerning what weapons they need to build, what military tactics they should employ. It wasn't concerning any of those issues that would probably come to the forefront of our minds. But rather The only question they asked to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he was speaking about the length and the duration of the the generals rule on Earth. They said to him or messenger of Allah, how do we pray on those days? How do we pray on those days? If a day is the length of the year, the day is the length of a month, the days the length of a week? How do we pray? Do you pray just five times because the sun would only rise and set once on the day
the length of the year? Do we pray just five times? Or do we pray the prayer of the year the prayer of a month, the prayer of a week? This was the single question that preoccupied them this was what they understood because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the one who educated and nurtured them. He taught them they understood that this was their path to salvation, nothing else. It was their connection to Allah subhana wa tada the worship of Allah azza wa jal, that would determine whether they would overcome these challenges or not. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied and he said, rather estimate the times of the prayer, meaning you pray the prayer of
a year or a month or a week, and you estimate the timings. This is how the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam approach these issues, even though they lived in a time where the vast majority of them rarely had to come across the fitna or the one or two fitness that did occur, they were able to overcome them because of these two keys. Number one, their knowledge of the religion of Allah subhana wa Taala. And number two, the ibadah the obedience to Allah azza wa jal, the personal connection to Allah subhanho wa Taala. I want to leave you with this final message that I want you all to go back to the Quran and look at this word fitna and how many times that occurs in the Quran
and the different contexts in which it occurs within the Quran. And to contemplate and ponder over those meanings because it is the time that we live in and the loss of Han with Allah just as every other thing in our religion on large zildjian has given us the tools and the keys to overcome those challenges there are there in the Quran and the Sunnah, but it is for us to go and extract them and extract those pills and wisdoms and lessons
we ask Allah subhana wa tada that it keeps us safe and our families and that a large soldier keeps a steadfast upon this religion, that Allah subhanaw taala protects us and our families from shavon and from all of his armies and that alarm soldier keeps us safe from doubts and from our desires that Allah subhana wa Taala mixes from amongst those who when death comes upon them. It will come once they are seeing La ilaha illAllah. The large zojirushi works in the compound in the companionship in the country.
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the righteous was colossal panel data that he makes easy for us our offense. And that alarm social safeguards us in our communities, and that Allah subhanho wa Taala safeguards our children and their children who will come after them. And that alarm xojo gives us the correct understanding of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam subhana
