AI: Transcript ©
Hi Charla tonight we're starting a new series Sorry about my voice
I'll do the best I can
recovering from a cold
the the title of the classes selected readings from
reflections upon
a world famous text
on Prophet ology called keytab was she thought by all the AI dibutyl
Musa Rahim Mahalo to either
the and will start promptly at seven every week and then we have
to end right at eight.
So I'll go through the text and you can ask questions as they come
up, just raise your hand, inshallah Tada.
So the the text is four parts.
The fourth part of the text is on the American, the legal rulings,
we're actually going to skip this part, it requires a lot of
content conceptualization, a lot of commentary.
It's beyond the scope of this class.
The first three parts we will touch upon the first part is
concerning the descriptions of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam in the Quran and Hadith. four chapters, in the second part
is concerning the rights which people owe to the Prophet
salallahu Salam, that's four chapters. The third part is
concerning belief in the Prophet so after the Prophet ology,
the YG, bat, the Mustela, to the monkey, not the obligatory, the
inconceivable and the conceivable attributes of any prophet really.
And that's two chapters. The first part has four chapters. The second
part has four chapters. The third part has two chapters. So that's
10 chapters, we have 10 weeks. So we'll take a chapter a week,
inshallah to Allah.
We're not going to read through the entire chapter, it's just not
enough time. So I will highlight some basic or main points, textual
highlights of each chapter.
The main thing is just to read the text, millions of people have this
text sitting on their bookshelf at home. But people don't read books.
That's just the human condition. The vast majority of books around
the world are never read.
So a gathering like this is simply an opportunity for you to relax
and listen
to someone else reading the text in sha Allah Tada, or at least a
portion of it.
So we will begin in sha Allah Tada
the name of Allah subhanaw taala.
And when we talk about the Prophet salallahu Salam,
we have to be sort of weary of our
intentions
that we should be, we should sit
in a respectful way we should pay attention. When Imam Malik given
to us was approached by students, they would ask him Let's study
filth. And he would immediately begins giving them lessons. And
they would ask him to study Hadith he would actually go and take a
shower. He would put on clean clothes he would apply perfume.
And he would he would, he would teach the Hadith the sayings of
the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu send them the utmost respect and
reverence. And he expected his students also have that type of
reference reference.
In sha Allah to Allah.
So chapter one, Allah is praise of him and his great esteem for him.
So he says here, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah says, la cartagia
kumara Soo Min and for SQL a messenger has come to you from
among yourselves. This is the famous ayat and SUTA to Toba is
number 128.
The commentator here actually has a a footnote, saying that there's
a variant reading of this I mean, unfussy comments from among
yourselves but there's another reading
which is not as strong it's a shadow reading. So it's anomalous.
It's it has the strength of a hadith, naka de Jacques whom
Rasool Amin and Fassi come and physical, rather than unphysical.
Both are correct in meaning but unfussy form is tomato, it's
multiplayer tested, so only this can be recited in prayer. But
unfussy calm is the superlative of Nephthys which means precious. So,
the idea can be understood and messenger has come on to you
from the most precious among you
that the Prophet salallahu Salam is the most precious of human
beings. Now Paul, the IAD says
all
A lot informs the believers or the Arabs of the people of Mecca or
all people, according to different commentaries on the meaning of
these words, that he has sent to them from among themselves a
messenger of whom they know whose position they are sure of and his
trustworthiness and truthfulness, they cannot but recognize.
So reputation and integrity are extremely important.
It was Aristotle who said that there are three modes of effective
persuasion.
If you want to persuade someone of a point that you're making, you
should have logos and that's basically strong reasoning. You
should make sense, you should have pathos which is an appeal to
emotion.
So you're not sort of monotone, very monotone, I guess.
That's why it's important for there to be some sort of emotional
connection with the speaker.
And then ethos, ethos is
the integrity of the Speaker himself or herself. This is
extremely important.
The Prophet sallallahu Sallam he was nicknamed by the Koresh before
the ye before the the descent of the Quran. He was nickname Assad,
you call I mean, so this is someone who is recognized amongst
all the Arabs as someone who is truthful and trustworthy. In fact,
Allah subhanho wa Taala demands him in the Quran to remind his
people, so called Libya to fuchal program in Kabul II. And indeed, I
have lived an entire lifetime before this. In other words, look
back at my life, there was nothing that they could point to in the
past and say, now you're claiming to be Prophet What about when you
did X, Y, and Z? In the past? What about that?
And this is a problem people have today, even people who make Toba
and they move on, there are other there's always going to be people
who are going to look in their past. What about when you said
this or did that? Right? The prophets reputation is without
question. No one can point to anything in his past.
So this is something that they recognize.
He says, Therefore, since he is one of them, they should not
suspect him of lying.
Or if not giving them good counsel. There is no Arab tribe
without dissent from or kinship with the messenger of allah
sallallahu it was salam.
This according to bass and others is the meaning of his words.
Except love for kin. So he's mentioning he's, he's partially
quoting an ayah from Surah Shura chapter 42 Verse 23, so very
famous ayah Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Hola Hola. Hola, como
la agilon Ilma what that I feel Cordoba say the call is an
imperative to the Prophet salallahu Salam say I do not ask
for any type of reward for this except for love of kin.
And a bit above says the meaning is something like Oh Quraysh you
should keep good relations between you and me. Because you are all
kin
are the words of the Prophet salallahu Salam is honored that
Qureshi will be honored, because he is from the parish, other
exigence like even at jiba in the mumble portobay
They say that this idea is a reference to the prophets and in
Beit a family of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that
this is an imperative in the in the Quran to love the prophets
family nama chef here he said
Yeah, I had at Rasulillah to book and followed when Elena Vicki
tabula,
are people of the prophetic house.
Love of you is obligatory upon us according to the book of Allah
subhanho wa taala.
So he is the noblest, highest and most exalted of them. And then he
asked a rhetorical question, how much further in the eye can praise
go?
Then Allah continues the ayah this is again I have 1/28 of October.
And Allah goes further by attributing to him all kinds of
praise worthy qualities, and greatly praises his eagerness to
guide them to Islam, his deep concern for the intensity of what
afflicts and harms them in this world and the next. So, the Paja,
Kumara, salamin and physical and then as he is when I lay him out,
I need to there is coming to a Messenger from among yourselves.
It grieves him that you should perish. How do you swim Alikum
he's deeply concerned over you. He's He's very covetous over you.
And the earth I must say here many of the elements say here that this
part of the eye is general It's, um, that this concern of the
prophets on the body seldom is for humanity at large. And then it
becomes more intimate, more hospital meaning or Overeem used
to the believers
compassionate and merciful.
So there's a special type of mercy the Prophet sallallaahu Salam
manifests for the meaning for the believers. Of course, there's a
famous Hadith and Behati is one of my favorite Hadith, which
exemplifies this.
That a man broke his fast in Ramadan. He came to the Prophet
salallahu Salam, and he said, My wife and I couldn't control
ourselves. He broke our fast during the daytime and Ramadan.
As the Prophet, somebody sent him, he said, free a slave. And he
said, I can't afford to do that.
And then he said, you have to fast for 60 consecutive days. And the
man said, I can't even fast three days of Ramadan.
And he said, then you have to feed 60 people. He said, I don't have
anything with what.
And so the Prophet salallahu Salam, he went out and taught him
a big basket of dates, and said, Here, take this and feed people.
He said, You know, there's nobody more poor than my own family.
And then the Hadith says, For die can be the Prophet sallallahu
sallam. He smiled until his molar teeth were showing. And he said,
Then feed your family with it.
Right below me mean in order for him.
One of the men of knowledge on her seen him to further he said,
Allah subhanho wa Taala honored him with two of his own name. So
what are all four Rahim are two of the names of Allah subhanho wa
taala, that are given to the Prophets of Allah you send them.
So this is
this is the sort of
goal of this life, the telos of this life.
What what philosophers call the final cause of our lives and the
earth is to become a saint.
The goal is we lie. The Quran says Kulu Rabbani, in become lordly. In
other words to mirror the names and attributes of Allah subhana wa
Tala at a human level. Allah subhanho wa Taala is our rock man,
no one can be a rock man.
Right? That is the the most compassionate, absolute and
infinite sense. But we can become people of Rama.
Allah subhanaw taala is the one who forgives.
We can have that type of personality to forgive people
almost kind of what to Allah is a Salam. A salon does not mean the
peace as salam means the perfect when it relates to Allah subhanho
wa taala.
We can strive for perfection in our flock, every one of the names
of Allah subhanho wa taala. We can appropriate right?
into our lives.
This is called this is called Taha look, even a name like Al Jabbar,
the Compeller.
How do we appropriate that name? How do we compel or are we
supposed to compel people? What if somebody commits a crime the MSA
then we compel that person to stand trial
and motor carrier, the one who deems himself big. Right? Are we
supposed to manifest this name? How do we manifest as what am I
teachers and he said,
Imagine someone's insulting you.
But you don't return the insult. You walk away you deem yourself
better than his action, not better than the person. So Allah Subhana
Allah knows the heart. In that sense, we can manifest the name of
Allah and was a captain. And there are many orlimar write books on
this topic. And as Ali has won the monster UT and many, many others
even Ijebu.
The Prophet salallahu Salam, ooh, for Rahim.
It is related. I say to Ali,
that he said the words of ALLAH for among yourselves means by
lineage relationship by marriage and descent. There was no
fornicator among his forefathers, at the time of Adam. All of them
were properly married. There is no Zina in the direct ancestry of the
prophets of Allah do you send them any of the aroma also maintain
there's a difference of opinion about this. Many of them also
maintain there's no idolatry in the direct ancestry of the Prophet
salallahu Salam.
There's a hadith that's quoted by Imam Al Haddad.
Prophet sallallaahu Salam is quoted to have said that I was
passed from pure loins to radiant wounds, pure loins radiant wounds
until I manifested.
Of course the Quran says in the minutiae Hakuna nudges the bush
with a cane or filthy in the sense of spiritual sense.
There's a question of the father of Ibrahim Ali Salam as
clearly as a Bushwick according to the Quran.
Well, there's an opinion that this is not his biological father.
the biological father of Ibrahim alayhi salam was not Aza was a man
named Hadith.
And this is what even Hashem says it is Siraj of the Prophet
salallahu Salam.
And his name was Teddy. And this is actually also although this is
not a definitive source by any means. But Israelite tradition
that towed off the book of Genesis also mentions His name is Ted off.
Not aza. So Ibrahim Ali Salam says, Yeah, but he too as our
abbot, your uncle can be your up. So many of the earlier maintain
that this is actually his paternal uncle. It's not his biological
father. In the Quran, they use the IRA as a proof text. When Yaqoob
it is Saddam asked his sons on his deathbed men a taboo dude, I mean,
Daddy, what are you going to worship after me? And they said,
Now I'm going to Isla haka what either you can't Ibrahim, what you
smartly and what is hot. We will worship the God of your God, and
the God of our fathers. Abraham, you smile who's their uncle, and
Isaac
so they use that also as but there's a difference of opinion
about
in a bad set at the words of ALLAH,
when you turn about among those who prostrate, so this is a sutra
number 26, a Shuara. First to 18 and to 19. And levy your aka Hina.
To whom
the one who sees you when you stand. What's a lubricant is Sajid
in, and you're turning about and those who make such that
Allah sees you when you stand to pray. And he also sees you when
you turn about
a loop. Amongst those who make such data, even our best said
that the meaning of this is from profit to profit.
Until Allah subhana wa Taala brought you out as a prophet. In
other words, the reference to the prophetic light
that was
among the most meaning from his ancestors from Adam Alayhis Salam,
the light moved to SEF which, which
found its way to new highly Suriname, eventually to Ibrahim is
married, eventually the Adnan eventually to the prophets of
Allah, He said
Jafar even Mohammed Assad, he said that Allah knew that his creatures
would not be capable of pure obedience to Him. So He told them
this in order that they would realize that they would never be
able to achieve absolute purity in serving Him, between himself and
then he placed one of their own species clothing him and his own
attributes of compassion and mercy. So, the language here is a
bit mystical. That doesn't mean that the Prophet salallahu Salam
is some sort of divine incarnation. The Prophet salallahu
Salam is an exalted manifestation of Allah's attributes of beauty.
That's how we can think of it.
He brought him out as a truthful ambassador to creation made it
such that when someone obeys Him they are obeying Allah. And when
someone agrees with him, they are agreeing with Allah. Allah says
May your general Rasul Sakata Allah Surah two Nisa ayah. Number
80. Whoever obeys the messenger is obeying Allah.
There is a non distinction in obedience. It is impossible to be
in obedience to Allah and disobedience to the Prophet
salallahu Salam.
The obedience is equal. Yet there is an ontological distinction,
meaning an essential distinction, meaning that the Prophet salallahu
Salam is ontologically essentially inferior to Allah subhanho wa
Taala because the Prophet salallahu Salam is not a deity is
not divine in that sense. He's not a god is the best of creation.
Yet when one obeys the Prophet salallahu Salam, it is as if they
are obeying Allah subhanho wa Taala because the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam only speaks the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala
all of his speeches ye all of his speech. Well, my auntie who Anil,
our Mayan tickle. And similar to Nigel means never, he never speaks
from his house.
In Hua Illa, why do you have a lemma who said he'd look over?
Whatever he says is nothing but ye revelation.
Even one of his companions of the law, even I'm not even a laugh
asked him, shall I record initially, he commanded them not
to write down the Hadith. But then later when
it was, it was there was a clear distinction to be made between the
Quran and Hadith. He had scribes I'm gonna write down some Hadith.
So one of the scribes asked him What about when you're angry?
Shall I write down the Hadith when you're angry?
And he said one of the bath and he been helped by the one who, who
raised me in truth, the one by the one who made me a Prophet. Now
Yeah, who would you mean who in that hot nothing comes out of this
meaning his mouth, except the truth
also kind of what the answers will not undersell natty Lamartine in
Ireland mean.
Does anyone know where this is in the Quran?
Everyone has to know where this is.
You know if you need a Christian on the BART,
he's going to call John 316.
Every Christian knows John 316.
What surah is this? Well not undersell NACA Illa. Rama Tinian
Island mean?
No. Good. Yes.
And via Surah 21 verse 107 21 107.
This is a quintessential verse, the quintessential Prophet
illogical verse.
We did not send you except as a mercy to all creation to all the
worlds
and he says here that many of the aroma they point out that his very
being was mercy because ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada uses a noun in the
eye and not a verb will not understand the NACA Illa. Rama 10.
He doesn't say Antara hammer or something. He doesn't use a verb
uses a noun. And a noun or a must or an infinitive describes the
essence of a person, the essence.
So if you use the verb, a verb
could mean at some point in time. Right? It's descriptive, but it
doesn't describe necessarily the essence of someone. Someone could
be merciful. Sometimes, a tyrant other times it the verb is used,
but not 10 is the master is a noun.
And then also the statement is very strong in Arabic
rhetorically, it's a it's an affirmation after a negation in
Arabic. It's called the if that bad enough Ian?
Allah subhanho wa Taala could have said that, you know, that I sent
you as a mercy. But he said we did not send you except as a mercy. So
this is a very strong statement in Arabic rhetorically, it's like the
Shahada. We don't our shahada isn't Allahu mo Jude,
or something. Allah exists. Allahu Ahad is Allah Allah, there is no
God in law law, except God. If bad, bad is bad, bad enough even
affirmation after negation very, very strong statement. It's
difficult to translate.
The area had mentioned the Hadith here.
From Allah bizarre, my life is a blessing for you. My death is a
blessing for you.
I asked you to come automatically
from the Prophet sallallahu sallam, how is his death a
blessing for us? Well in his grave, some of audio Salam, he
continues to supplicate for the Ummah
and Salawat are conveyed to him on Fridays by melodica
sorry, all the days except for Friday, they're conveyed to him.
And on Friday he I can actually hear this other what he says in
the Hadith sound Hadith. He hears the Salawat with his own ears and
responds with his own tongue
that's in this world. And then what follows after death is a
great chef ah, of the Prophet sallallaahu. Cinnamon the human
glioma
is how we understand my death is good for you.
He's, I mean, it's just the first two pages.
There's so much in this text. It's amazing to see how we're doing any
questions, anyone need clarification? Don't be afraid to
raise your hand.
Right.
Then he quotes this famous idea to know this is an amazing if you
know when I was 17 years old,
bit late, but so first time I read the Quran.
English I didn't know any Arabic didn't know Allah from bath. I
read the Quran. And
you know, I think I understood every verse in the Quran. Probably
half of it was wrong, maybe 90% But I think I understood something
from it. Except for this verse. I had no idea what this verse was
talking about. I had to lose. This is also called the parable of the
shining lamp.
Allah some kind of without us as Allahu nudo similar to what
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth a lot
is the light. In logic, this is called an analytic statement. So
the predicate is a definition basically of the subject. A law is
the Light of the heavens of the earth. So it's also called a cat,
a cat a fatik. Statement and theology cat of fatik means a
positive statement about God, as opposed to an apophatic statement,
which is a negative statement about God, for example, well, then
you're gonna have one damn isn't negation. And that's the safer way
to talk about God is to say, God is not this or that rather than
God is. So Kalafatis statements are rare, but we have them in the
Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala can say whatever he wants about
himself. So he says, Allah is the Light of the heavens of the earth.
And the meaning of this according to so UT is that Allah subhanho wa
Taala is the source of all light,
the source of everything
that he says methadone reheat, the similitude of his light, a light
that he owns.
This is not an analytic statement. This is a construct statement.
New New reheat means a light that he owns.
So the aroma here they point out, even up as Imam Razi imamo UT,
they say light here is a symbol for the prophets of Allah said
that the parable The shining lamp has something to do with the
prophets of the bodies and
the likeness of His light is like a niche, there is a lamp the lamp
is in the glass.
We want to understand what a niche is. These pre modern homes would
have sort of a dugout in the wall, you replace a lamp and would light
up the whole room, a lamp into the side of a glass.
That's called a niche or a niche and both of both pronunciations
are acceptable in English.
So this is what Rauzein so ut say
that the niche represents the southern chest of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam
and the lamp within the niche is Eman is faith.
And the lamp is in the glass Sujatha that is the pure heart of
the Prophet sallallahu.
A zoo judge who can come on board reunion you kudu miniature
gelatin, Mubarak Huttons a tuna
that lasts as the glass as if it were a glittering star candle from
a blessing olive tree.
So the glass is so
so pure, it's so shiny.
Right?
That it it looks like a like a brilliant star being the heart of
the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is so pure. It's been so purified by
Allah subhanho wa Taala of the diseases of the heart
kindled from a blessing olive tree, the olive tree here
according to this symbolism is a reference to Ibrahim alayhis salam
was a forefather of the Prophet sallallaahu send them not sure
what to do when and how to be he's not from the Orient or the
Occident you got him on a Salam is the father of all nations. That's
what his name literally means.
You have Qaboos ha ha You will do one I will I'm Tim says will Nora
who's oil would nearly shine even if no fire touched it. Now oil is
that which is internal or natural to the lamp. That which is
internal or natural to the human being is reason is conscience.
Conscience and Latin con means with and science means knowledge.
Or fitrah. There's an innate disposition,
that the conscience or the prophets sense of reason is
fitrah. What almost come in into the state of mattify, even before
the fire touched it in fire here and this symbol means Revelation
ye
that you've been considered. He says the Prophet shone the shined
even before the revelation touched him.
Right? This is what the monk noticed. The Prophet sallallahu
sallam was 10 or 12 years old. He traveled to bolster up with Abu
Tada. In Bagheera, the monk he noticed there was something
happening with him. Pre prophetic miracles in Hoss they're called
that through his intellect he would almost come to modify to
intimate knowledge of almost subhanho wa Taala even though the
revelation never touched
the sages from added Kitab they knew before the Quran there was
something special about it. That's the meaning of it even before
and then when the Revelation does touch it
neurone Allah knew
aka upon knuckle
reason upon revelation.
So the lamp is illuminated with oil and fire
A lamp is illuminated with oil and fire with that which is internal
or natural to it, and that which is external or given to it.
The heart is illuminated with reason and revelation, that which
is internal to the human being conscience reason that which is
given to the human being, Revelation.
This is true illumination of the heart, reason and revelation.
There are people who reject the revelation, and they worship the
aka the intellect, they think they can know everything. And this
leads to a type of rigid rationalism.
This leads to a type of
denial of higher moral authority
that there's no moral authority over us, as a nation or an entity,
so we can make up our own rules. If it's good for us, then it's
right.
Relying on reason you can justify anything, these people in our
country, they're vermin, let's exterminate them. It's good for
us. Why not? It'll be good for us.
And then you have people that lean on Revelation, and forget about
reason.
They become these dogmatic littoralis knuckleheads is one of
my teachers.
No, aka, it's all knuckle, knuckleheads.
And they become extremely violent. Because they're looking at nos.
They're looking at the text. And the text says this. That's what we
have to do. Wait a minute.
What about the mocassin? What about the aims of the Sharia? What
about the walker? What about the reality of the world? How to
implement No, no, no, don't think about that, brother. Just do it.
Don't think just do it.
The big problem
Hello, Adam,
is a beautiful if
you don't know Allah guides His light to the Prophet Soleimani
send them whomever he will. Allah makes examples for people and
Allah has knowledge of everything. Kava bar, and IGNOU Jubeir said,
By the second light, he means Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, the
light of the Prophet salallahu Salam. And he goes on to say so
had to study. The lamp means his heart, the glasses, the breast, so
on and so forth. Well, we just mentioned
it's oil with nearly shine IE is prophecies almost evident to the
people before he speaks. Just like this oil.
Like Abdullah Abdullah bin Salam, who was a rabbi or a junior rabbi,
Bani aporia, but Danny had a new car in Medina. And he just looked
at the face of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
are off to an award show who loves to be watching Can
I can I recognize in his face, it's not the face of a liar are
often a means to recognize something.
There's something special about this man
Cassandra blue sabot, who was paid some money by if he wishes he can.
So the mission of Canaan Medina
that wanted to disbelieve in the Prophet sallallaahu Salam. They
outwardly said they were Muslim, they became the mafia team, but
they're emotionally kin. They paid Hassan Abdul phablet write a poem
and insult the Prophet sallallahu sallam. And I sent him to phablet.
He said, he's just he looked at the face of the prophets. I said,
I want to instantly walk back and he said,
that's it for me.
So one glance is enough.
As mentioned in the New Testament, also, like six or seven are
disciples of Isa and a Salam O Allah. But it says in the text in
the Gospel of John, that they became disciples of a Sunni Islam,
because they because he looked at them. And that was it. Just
another the glance is Oh, that's it.
This is the real deal.
One of the saints of Yemen,
Abu Bakar, Bin Salman.
He said that
the people from the city they come and they sit in my presence, and
they're full of themselves, they think they know things. Now,
our teachers say that one of the requisites of attaining knowledge
is what's known as kenosis. Tough Lea one must empty oneself of
things, be like an empty vessel. Again, think you know, and be
ready to receive. So he said, they come in to sit in my presence. And
I'll say something and they argue and it's back and forth. They
don't learn anything. Then he said, a simple Bedouin will come
who, you know, urinate in public, but he'll come and sit in my
presence and I'll give him one glance
It'll change his life
the Prophet sallallaahu synonyms glances powerful, the Bedouin, who
came into his presence and he started trembling.
uncontrollably. So how was it? What was wrong with you, man? The
trembling.
The prophets will a lottery system he said, Relax, I'm not a king.
I'm just the son of a woman who used to eat dried meat. This is
how he described it. This is from his Tolaga
from a lot he said.
Then here he talks about the i What a fine I like a thick rock.
It may not exalt Your remembrance. There's a long section here. I was
sorry that hoodie. All the alerts that are related to the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, Gabriel Ali Salam came to me and said, My
Lord and your Lord says, you know how I exalted your fame?
Off the kaisa refer to the croc.
Do you know how I raised a remembrance?
And he said, Allah who I them. And you bill Ali Salam said, that your
Lord said Hadith put See, either do care to do character my
whenever I am mentioned, you are mentioned with me
in the Avant, in the coma in the shahada
because a lot of people, they will confirm La ilaha illallah
Christians and Jews, La ilaha illAllah.
Even Dias, like people who don't believe in a personal God,
right? They're called Dias, that there's a God is a creator, but
he's sort of a watchmaker.
He doesn't really care about what's happening on Earth. He just
kind of lets us do our thing, absentee landlord.
They say that there's no God but this creator god fine, but
Mohammad Rasool Allah.
This is what makes God imminent or close,
loving quarterback
for Marissa.
The fact of the province is the fact the fact that meant
he mentioned the fact that mentioned of the Prophet is
directly connected to mention of Allah also shows that obedience to
the Prophet salallahu Salam is connected to obedience to Allah,
and is in his name. To Allah's Name. Allah says obey Allah and
His messenger.
Obey Allah means follow the Quran
keytab Allah.
What does obey the messenger mean? For people who say reject the
Sunnah?
We are a Koran only people
obey Allah and His messenger. What does that mean?
Obey the Sunnah believe in Allah and His Messenger, amino Billa wa
rasuluh II. And he says here how the IAT says Allah joins them
together with a conjunction walk in an end, which is a conjunction
of partnership and partnership here is a loaded term.
Don't get the wrong idea. Partnership not with respect to
essence attributes or actions. No one shares in Allah's essence no
one is deity except Allah.
No one has these qualitative attributes
that Allah has nobody, nothing other than Allah is omniscient,
omnipotent.
So on and so forth, as Adam mutlak perfect knowledge.
Think of the hadith of Gibreel Ali salaam Jebel Ali Salam said Omar,
he said
that
the Prophet sallallaahu Salam said to him, a tied to the mannessah L.
Do you know who the questioner was? It was related to them. But
he asked Omar, you know who the questioner was? And Omar said,
Allah who was a sudo, who Allah.
Allah and His Messenger know best. This does not mean that Allah and
His Messenger have equal knowledge.
Right? Because I'm thinking of a number now between one and a
million.
You don't know what it is? I do. So does Allah. Does that mean I
have the same knowledge as Allah? Of course not.
Also, the wildlife conjunction implies an essential hierarchy.
Allah is the foremost he is the greatest than the Prophet
sallallahu sallam. He says here it is not permitted to use this
conjunction in connection with Allah in the case of anyone except
the Prophet salallahu Salam. Why? Because again, it is, it is
impossible for obedience to Allah to conflict with obedience to the
Prophet salallahu Salam
wa
Anyone else it can conflict. If I say for example, obey Allah and
obey your shave.
What if your chef disobeyed Allah?
It's conceivable.
So it's impermissible to make such a statement. Now there's another
verse in the Quran obey Allah and the messenger what will remain
calm and those in authority over you.
So this is understood as hierarchical and conditional obey
those in authority over you as long as they obey Allah and His
messenger.
Remember Abu Bakr Siddiq, his first day of his caliphate, he
stood he sat on the minbar of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam said,
I've been elected but I'm not the best among you obey me as long as
I obey Allah and His Messenger, disobey me if I disobey.
This was for sermon
or something in this hadith, there's a hadith he mentions.
Someone was speaking in the presence of the Prophet salallahu
Salam.
And he said, Manuel, Lauer's Hula, hula cerca de Rasheeda. Whoever
obeys Allah and His Messenger has been rightly guided. Why men yeah,
see me y'all see me. Y'all see, y'all she Hema y'all see?
Y'all she Hema.
Y'all see Hema cerca de Hawa.
So he said, Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger
has been rightly guided, and whoever rebels against them and he
used the dual form at the end of the verb. He said, Hema, y'all
see, Hema?
Right? Whoever rebels against them
has entered. The Prophet sallallaahu Salam looked at him
according to Hadith. This hadith is in Abu Dhabi and the Saudi and
Muslim and he said, Sal Hatim Anta what a bad speaker you are.
So, the commentary says the prophets of salaam he disliked the
two names being joined together in a way that implies equality
because he used the dual form. So in the Quran, Allah subhana, Allah
says, Allah who are Sula who are Haku, and you'll do Allah and His
Messenger, it is more befitting that you should please them, but
it's only who a third person masculine singular pronoun is
used, but the meaning is understood as both of them. Allah
subhana wa Taala doesn't say Houma. He doesn't use a dual
pronoun.
Does the dual form an Arabic implies a real equality? So Allah
subhanho wa Taala never refers to himself in the Quran.
With a dual verbal form or a dual pronoun. There's a subtlety in the
Arabic
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he didn't he didn't mind. My YouTube
Allah water to water Sula, who forgot to Rashida whoever obeys
Allah wa and the prophet and the prophet WA is guided Well, my
lawmen, y'all see me her.
Using the dual he didn't like that for don't join me with Allah using
a dual form in Arabic. It doesn't happen in the Quran.
Now Allah Spano without it uses a royal plural sometimes he says not
new, right in and Zanna Angela who right now, UCLA human habitat
worried we this is this is a it's called the plurality magic status,
the Royal plural and is understood that this is
a royal plural, it's used because almost a kind of what to highlight
is speaking from a position of majesty. It does not in any way
denote a plural of numbers and plurality of numbers or something
like that.
It is related from our model of the law to the angle,
that the prophet that.
That is He said to the Prophet, part of your excellence with Allah
is that he made OBEDIENCE TO YOU obedience to Allah. Allah says
Whoever obeys the messenger has obeyed Allah and if you love Allah
than and follow me and Allah will love you.
It is related that when this ayah was sent down, so this is he's
quoting I had to empty hand this is called IO to an empty hand
surah number three is number 31 331. For Input to him to
hipbone Allah for today only you did from Allah. While y'all fill
up with the numbers. Say If you love Allah, then follow me. Then
Allah will love you and forgive me your sins.
When this ayah was sent down, the people said Mohamed wants us to
take him as a mercy in
The way the Christians did with their East Side east.
So then the very next verse, Allah revealed hola to Allah, Allah
Rasool say, obey Allah and the messenger so obey not worship.
It's not the same way the Christians revere a side, acela.
It's not to worship the Prophet salatu salam worship is only for a
loss of kind of what to Allah. And in the previous Omen people would
make such that the prophets, but that practice is abrogated.
Like we read in the Quran that the brothers of Yusuf alayhi salam
they made such that to him, this was not a subject of, for purposes
of a bad it was for child theme. It was it was for reverence. And
this was permissible in the previous Oma. It has been
abrogated in our city.
And if somebody does it, and their intention is reverence, then it's
haram. If their intention is worship is cool for
the man companion kind of went into a state and he prostrated to
the Prophet sallallaahu Salam out of reverence. And the Prophet
picked him up and he said, we don't do that.
So we veer the Prophet salallahu Salam, because he's worthy of
reverence, because he has virtue nowadays. We revere skill and fame
and things like that.
Some famous sports star dies and people can't sleep for a week. And
there's, you know, memorials in several different countries around
the world. For this person whose ethics are very questionable,
based on experience,
as we said, reputation is very important.
But we don't, we don't revere virtue, any
people die all the time that are pious, that are wise, that are
charitable,
that are humble that are selfless. We don't even know their names.
But Allah knows their names. But Peroni of porta Pom, this is the
most important thing, not that people remember you on the earth.
This is what the pre Islamic Arabs wanted. They didn't believe in an
afterlife, it would make vicar of their back, it would make vicar
who would actually come together and start making vicar of their
ancestors. And they believe that by doing that they would somehow
live forever. That's how they're immortalized.
But what we want is the thicker of Allah well, they think will Allahu
Akbar, but there, but the remembrance of Allah of us is the
greatest thing.
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, there are aspects of cultures that are that are
problematic from our perspective.
I ran into this issue I used to be a as a practice karate, and
you have to bow literally make record, right? To your sensei. Of
course, my intention was never to worship anyone. But even to revere
someone with such an act of genuflection
is impermissible. There might be some difference of opinion about
that. But
so I just told my sensing, I said,
this is when I first started practicing the religion.
So I was
I didn't use a lot of tact. But I did. I was smart enough to say,
you know, I'm not going to bow to anyone.
So that's fine. You don't need to do that.
We it's Yeah, I mean, in this culture, if a man doesn't shake a
woman's hand, people are offended.
I told that story a while. I mean, I won't go into it now. But it's
happened to me one time and somebody says, this woman said,
I'm so offended, he didn't shake my hand and
I turned the tables on her and I said, my religion offends you. I'm
so offended that you're offended.
Yeah.
So there are aspects of culture that we can certainly, like one of
my teachers explained to me like cultures or like different colored
glass classes in Islam is like pure water, you can pour it into
the glass, and you know, the water, you know, the water goes
into the glass. So you have different color and what appears
to be different colored water. But it's really the culture sort of
interacting with the religion, and that's fine, but there are
certainly aspects of culture that are problematic. The Prophet
sallallaahu Salam, he would speak out against them. There are
aspects of Arab culture that he had no problems with that are
actually very good. The Arabs were very chivalrous people. There's
something that's dying now chivalry. You open the door for a
woman now and they when she wants to bite your head off.
Offer a seat. This happened to me offered a seat to a woman on the
board. I don't need your seat, but
You think you are? Oh, sorry.
All right.
And they were they were very hospitable. They were generous
people, but they're also prone to warfare. They're aspects of the
culture that were extremely misogynist. They would practice
while doing Banat female infanticide a profitable body sort
of spoke out against those aspects
the Arab men didn't necessarily like to admit that they love their
wives
it's just sort of a macho thing but they asked him Are you not so
happy like it's Alisha
mentioned his wife
is that that's the
Silver lawsuit?
We do have like three minutes if there's another question or
comment one would like to make
my wife texted me Do you want a cough drop? It's too late now.
Next week we'll challah was well will give you the highlights for
part one chapter two.
So we'll finish all 10 chapters for the first three parts of the
text inshallah.
Sir
keytab oshi fat they call the Eyad. It's a very famous book. One
of the most famous books ever written on the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam were the most commented commentated upon books. Probably
just after Bukhari and Muslim. Temple she felt he was an Andalusi
and scholar he died 1149 of the common error.
There's a great
Maliki exegete jurist as well.
Very comprehensive, beautiful text. You should have been in your
house just for botica even even if you don't read I mean, I mentioned
earlier if people don't read books, try to do your best to read
them but even just having it in your house is good.
Did he succeed in Asia Well,
came out way after
where
he was he wrote this during the Crusades.
This is why there's section of Part Four of the book is
is difficult to navigate
are the reasons because some of the Christians the Crusaders would
go on these martyr missions to actually go into a public square
and defame the Prophet sallallaahu Salam insult the Prophet on public
because they wanted to be killed by the authorities
so
there's some contextual that's why Part four is difficult. There's
there's a there's a lot of contexts that need to go with it.
Amazon isn't.
Yeah, it's a beautiful translation. I shopped around on
Bewley
Beautiful
like I said, we're just touching the surface of this text.
I mean, I promised to do chapter one we probably read 5% of chapter
one
tonight
requires a little bit of light commentary
is an extraordinary ocean of knowledge
so, we'll see you next week and Sokoloff, some of us at Muhammad
didn't want to he was a huge money
spent
on a lot I sent him home I didn't want to and he was sort of Asian
Americans who Canada and
I love tonight. Halima Hakim also the one who was
salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
So Charles Allah, we're continuing. This is our second
week, teachable Shisa.
We're going to actually continue here with the first chapter.
There's very important points that Claudia yet makes in this chapter.
So we'll stick with it. And Charlotte Tada. We only did the
first section last week, which was nine pages. And the first chapter
is about 30 pages.
So those who wants to follow along in the English translations is
page 10. Part one, chapter one, section two.
Section two is called Allah subhanaw taala describing him so
nobody saw them as a witness and the praise and honor entailed by
that.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala he begin the area it begins by
quoting a verse from Allah subhanho wa Taala This is an
exquisitely beautiful if from the Quran which is in surah to zap
verses number 45 and 46. Yeah, you have never you encounter So
Natasha, he doesn't want overshoot on one or the euro. What Illa
Allah he is and he will see Raja monniera Oh Prophet, we have sent
you as a witness a bringer of good news and a warner calling to Allah
subhana wa to Allah with his permission, and as a light giving
lamp.
So called the area it says in this ayah Allah subhanho wa Taala in
Dallas, His Prophet, with all the ranks of nobility in every
praiseworthy quality. He made him a witness over his community by
the fact that he has conveyed the message to them. So one of the
duties of a prophet is called to believe he has to convey the
message. That is one of the special qualities he is a bringer
of good news for the people who will obey Him, a wanderer to the
people who rebel against him.
He calls for the Oneness of Allah to worship him, he's a light
getting lamp by which people are guided to the truth.
One thing to notice here from a linguistic standpoint, according
to Muslim philologists, all of these titles of the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam in these two ideas, they're all indefinite
nouns called ism Nikita.
And according to rhetoric, the ISM Nikita denotes a degree of
greatness that is outside of our frames of reference.
For example, Allah subhanaw taala says lamea Cornella vena cava
rumen al Kitab Iwan witchery Kena Moon Firkin Hata. To whom all day
Gina, that the the kuffaar from the added Kitab and from the
machete keen, they will not break away from their Kufa until out of
the beginner. That's a definite article. What is Albena also don't
mean Allah yet Russophone Mortara A messenger from God, not the
messenger of God. Like what a messenger from God
who recites purified scriptures.
So chalky done Omar Bashir done when the Iran medallion, we'll see
Rajan money Iran. These are all indefinite nouns.
In this ayah Allah subhanaw taala refers to the prophets of Allah he
saw them as a Suraj this word is used four times in the entire
Quran. If you have a concordance, you can look this up three times
it's explicitly talking about the sun, the chumps. And here the
prophets of Allah the southern is called Suraj. And then this noun
is qualified. Just thank you so much. I'm still having throat
issues, so I need to drink warm beverages.
I'm not contagious. Charlotte's Corona.
This noun is qualified by the adjective money or money or is a
form for active participle is some file which is related to the word
neuter. And it means something that spreads light so a lamp that
emanates light and illuminates those around him. So just as the
sun illuminates those in its orbit, the prophets of allottee so
that illuminates those in his orbit.
The Sahaba and any who come into contact with them?
I'll tell you, you know yesterday said I met up there live and I'm
gonna ask and said describe the Messenger of Allah to me, he
replied certainly by Allah some of the characteristics by which he is
described in the Quran can also be found in the Torah. Now, in, in
Hadith, or or statements from the sun off, whether we're toda is
mentioned even in the Quran, the torah doesn't necessarily mean the
first five books of the Christian Bible, the Pentateuch, the books
of Moses, the word torah, amongst the many surah is a very loose
term. In fact, TelaDoc it could be, could signify the whole of
their corpus of sacred literature.
So Tara could mean a Jewish sacred text of some sort, not necessarily
the first five books of Moses anyway. So it says,
according to I'm going to believe in Amara loss, there is a
description of the Prophet salallahu Salam, in some sacred
Jewish text, oh Prophet, we have sent you as a witness, a bringer
of good news and a warner and a refuge for the unlettered You are
my slave and my messenger I have called you the one when people
rely one who is neither coarse or vulgar, and who neither shouts in
the markets, nor repays evil with evil but rather pardons and
forgives. Allah will not take him back to himself into the crooked
community has been straightened out by him and they say, there is
no God but Allah threw him blind eyes, deaf ears and covered hearts
will be opened and quote, something similar as reported from
Abdullah bin Salam and kava bar. And both of these are scholars of
Bani Israel, who converted to Islam. Abdullah bin Salam is a
celebrated Sahabi in kava bar is a tattoo theory.
This is it seems like to me this is a commentary, a paraphrase and
a commentary of a passage in the Hebrew Bible which is called
Isaiah chapter 42.
In the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible
it's also found in the Christian Bible, I believe that Isaiah
chapter 42 is a clear Mohammed in typology of foreshadowing of the
prophets of Allah. He said them just give you a few highlights.
From that chapter in the Bible, the Hebrew says hen Abdi, if
mockable Behold, my abdomen, my servant.
So we're going to have a description of someone whose
primary title is Abdullah. And of course, the primary title of the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam in the Quran is Abdullah Subhanallah the
SRB Abdi Alhamdulillah, Allah De Anza, Adil Kitab, to Baraka leadin
Oiselle, for Karna, Allah abtahi and so forth. Oh ha Illa de ma ha.
This is his primary title Behold my servant, whom I uphold. The
Hebrew of Isaiah 42 continues basically that's enough sheet in
whom I sold the lights. And then it says nothing roofie alive, I've
put my roof upon him. The speaker is obviously God here. And he's
saying that I have put my who, upon this app did my spirit of
inspiration,
my spirit of guidance, my spirit of revelation, Misha part of the
game, you'll see he will bring judgment or law in order to the
gleam. Go even as a Hebrew word meaning Gentiles non Jews. The
word in Arabic for GOj, which is the singular of going in is only
me so the Prophet salallahu Salam is called a Nabil omy. In the
Quran. This has different meanings the unlettered prophet or the
Gentile prophet. This is one of the meanings of Nabil, only the
Gentile prophet, the prophet that was prophesized the non Jewish
Gentile Prophet, the universal messenger.
And then it says, interestingly, again, Isaiah 42, though yes, she
may be what's called low in the Hebrew, which means he will not
raise his voice in the marketplace. And our mother Aisha,
she described the Prophet sallallahu Sallam exactly what
these words less Sahaba and fill us work. He doesn't raise his
voice in the marketplace. And this is an indication this is a way of
saying that the prophets character was very mild, mild mannered
salatu salam and this is how he's actually described by saying it in
the famous Hadith and they should make your mama Tirmidhi sadoun
hooky, lay, you know Jannetty that he's easy going. mild mannered.
This is how he's described in the toto and this passage in this
sacred Hebrew Jewish text.
And then it goes on to say in Isaiah 42 It calls this Abbott did
he to arm did it means me fuck. An arm means arm general universal, a
universal covenant. This this opposite this prophet
It this unlettered prophet this Gentile prophet. is I let me Yeah.
Right. Well, my understanding that Allah Ramadan Lin Alameen folia,
you had asked in the Rasulullah he lako Jimmy
and then it says oh to go in. He is audible Yemen Hebrew. If I were
to translate that into Arabic, it would be neutral mean. He is
neutral meaning he is the light of the Gentiles. He is the light of
the unlettered.
And then it goes on to talk about how the cattle rights are going to
adopt this prophets message. The cataracts are descendants of
someone named Haider Haider, according to even Hashem is one of
the sons of a smart Elijah Santa and even Hashem He traces the
prophets ancestory salatu salam all the way back to Hadar or
Kadare. In fact, in Hebrew, a very popular way of saying Arabic is to
say Li Shan Hadar, the tongue Lee Sang of of Keidar
and then all the Yachty quotes the eye of the famous ayah in the
Quran AlLadhina tiberiu nagasu lawsuit I nebbia owe me a letter
yet you do not want to burn and houfy talathi One ng those who
follow the messenger, the unlettered prophet, the Gentile
Prophet, Nabil at Omi also means the motherly Prophet, like the
nurturing Prophet,
whom they find mentioned in the Torah and in the NG, and then the
gospel,
commanding them to the right, forbidding them from wrong, making
lawful for them the good things and making it unlawful for them to
foul things, relieving from them, their burdens and the fetters that
are on them. Those who believe in Him and aid him and help him and
follow the light which has been sent down to him. They are the
prosperous This is similar to an hour off, sort of seven, verse
157.
There's a famous
Jewish scholar who became a Muslim. He's a 12th century Jewish
scholars nameless sham you element Yehuda and Marguerite be other
people don't know about him. He was actually the son of a Moroccan
rabbi. And he converted to Islam based on a dream he had.
And then he wrote this incredible book called if hallelujah hood,
the confounding of the Jews in which he argues against Judaism
and for Islam. And he argues for the Messiah ship of a Silas. It's
very interesting book and there's an autobiographical element in his
book that confounding of the Jews as Shammi well, then Yehuda al
McGreevy, so he tells us how he became a Muslim. He said that he
was, he was sleeping at a dream. In his dream, he sees this very
old man sitting under a tree. So he approaches the man and the man
identifies himself as the prophet Samuel. This is a prophet in the
Old Testament, he might be mentioned in the Quran indirectly,
as a newbie by the by the Musa a prophet, after Moses, peace be
upon him.
So then show me well, the prophet Samuel begins to quote something
from the Torah to show me well, then you who done McGreevy and he
quotes to him Deuteronomy 1818. This is a famous passage in the
Hebrew Bible that says NaVi Hakim Lohan, Nicola FAPESP song, that,
that God is the speaker and he says, I'm going to raise up a
prophet from the brethren of the Israelites who's going to be like
Moses, a prophet like Moses, and I shall put My words into this
prophets mouth, and and whatever he says, is only by command.
Right? So then,
Shami well, he says to the Prophet, Samuel, that's you,
right? We were taught that that prophet is you. And then he said
that the prophet Samuel became angry and stood up and walked away
from him. And then he said, he woke up suddenly. And then he
said, he fell back asleep, and it was just before Fajr there's a
Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Salam stuffer, Ro ER bill as har,
the most true dreams are just before Fajr during the time of
Soho, so he says he fell asleep again. And he said he woke up yet
another dream. He's walking down the corridor into a courtyard, and
a man passes him. And the man says to him, a tear on our school Allah
obey the messenger of God. And he comes into the courtyard and he
sees the Prophet salallahu Salam. And he said, The Prophet was very
busy. He was preparing for husba a military expedition. So Shan Yu
Ali goes right up to the prophets of Allah the setup. And he says,
he takes the prophets hand and he says, I shutter y la ilaha
illallah wa shadow and NACA rasool Allah, and he took great pride
that he that the Prophet himself took his shahada in his dream. Now
he couldn't actually voice he couldn't admit that he'd become
Muslim, because it was a dangerous situation for him. His father was
a rabbi. But years later he did, but he made it a point in his
autobiography that I was able to say, Adam Mecca and I bear witness
that you
We have the messenger of God rather than Muhammad Rasool Allah
is very interesting text.
Anyway, the dominant opinion is that
or a strong opinion is that many of the descriptions of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam has been lifted from the Torah and the Gospel, and
that the text has been corrupted as Tane fullness. Imam Arrazi
doesn't necessarily agree with this and says, if you look hard
enough, you'll find that there are in fact, descriptions of him, but
it takes a sort of more sophisticated analysis.
And then others are Yadier mentions this beautiful ayah from
Surah Ali Imran verse 159. This iconic idea which sort of
demonstrates the description of the Prophet we've been talking
about the verse begins Fatima Rama team in Allah healing telephone.
If you know something about Arabic, you know this Matt is Matt
exactly that Fabian Martin. So it is part of the incredible mercy
from Allah, that you are lenient with them.
If you had been harsh, well, I couldn't believe I'll call the
lung for Doom in Holic five who must offer level was showered who
fill
so either Assumpta fatawa, QCL, Allah Allah in Allah who have been
with the wiki, if you had been harsh or hard hearted, you would
have seen men scattered from your presence. So pardon them and ask
forgiveness for them in the MSA. Pardon, that means that you know,
if people transgress against you personally, just forgive them. If
people transgress against the produce of Allah that ask a lot of
forgive them, make it still far for them,
and consult them in, in the affair. And this means the
political affairs, the URL and I ask a question here, why would the
prophets have a lot he set it up? Who speeches ye and who has ESMA?
Why would he consult people about political affairs? So Mr. Ross, he
says he's doing this simply set a precedent.
Right, because he's the last prophet. Listen, leaders who come
after him are no prophets. They can make mistakes. So he's setting
a precedent that you have to conduct your affairs through a
shura to a most mutual consultation of some point of some
sort, to ensure that a tyranny doesn't arise,
or long lie them.
Somehow Gandhi said Allah's reminding them that he made his
messenger merciful to the believers, compassionate and
lenient. If he had been harsh and severe in speech, they would have
left him however, Allah made him magnanimous, easygoing, cheerful,
kind, and gentle. One of the names of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
according promiscuity is at the heart, the smiling Prophet, the
laughing Prophet
easygoing, he's able to defuse situations even with some humor,
you can defuse situations.
One of my favorite examples, how do you think Behati very famous
Hadith the Prophet sallallahu sallam was walking in Medina, his
city is the head of state without Isha, and a group of your hood and
there was some animosity between them. During this time between the
Muslims in the hood, a group of yahood passing by, and one of them
says a semi naked and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam immediately
responds why they go.
And so as samurai liquid means my death be upon you.
Right? This is interesting. This is a good principle. The Prophet
saw a lot, he said, and he said that the movement is Mottola
there, but he's not the valley. There's a difference. The Mothman
is humble, but he's never humiliated. The Muslim does not
humiliate himself. The Muslim has self respect, the Muslim is not a
doormat. So very quickly as to why they come and then I actually
thought that the Prophet didn't hear them correctly. Right. She
thought that the Prophet heard a Sudan line equal so she turns
around and she says was semi lyrical Well, Nana Tula will have
Allah Aliko
and death be upon you, and the anger and wrath of God and the
curse of God and the prophets of Oh, my Helen like take it easy.
Take it easy. In Allah ha You hippo rift is is what he told her
in the law, your hipbone risk.
Phil Emery Cooley Allah subhanho wa Taala loves gentleness in all
affairs. He's the head of state in Medina. You know, people get angry
now because
you know, they're in a grocery store or something and somebody
you know, says oh, look at this Muslim, * or whatnot.
The prophets in Medina, I mean, obviously things like that, you
know, should be addressed but this is what you should expect.
But in Medina in his own city when he's the head of state this is
happening to him
and look at his response
when you're from a risk you from a higher this hadith and Muslim,
whoever is deprived of gentleness is deprived of good
so I should say Did you hear what they said? And he said Didn't you
hear what I said?
Allah subhana wa Tada says, So continuing, while they are yet he
quotes this verse Al Baqarah 143 Because Attica John nakoma
tawassul top, thus we have made you a middle community. So that
you the prophets I send them would be, will be sorry that you the
Muslims will be witnesses against people, and so that the messenger
would be a witness against you.
But hasn't Alec obviously said in this ayah Allah makes it clear the
excellence of our Prophet and the excellence of his community. The
OMA Lasota the middle nation, this is verse 143 of 286 right in the
middle of Bukhara.
So, with respect to theology, I might have mentioned this here
last time, or maybe it was the other Masjid Mr. Rossi says that
with respect to theology,
we are we do not practice what's known as Tisha B, which is a
Christian practice the practice of the majeste Sima the
anthropomorphise, the Christians they put a lot in his creation.
They believe in incarnation list theology that God dwells within
his creation,
or the other extreme Jewish theology taty also more presently,
theology, a God is so transcendent that they started to deny that he
even has attributes
with respect to Christology, the Jewish position with respect to
Esau as the Jewish position is that he is a human, non divine
False Prophet.
The Christian position is that he is a human divine Prophet divine.
Right. So this is based on a doctrine or dogma they have called
hypostatic union, that a Silas is a human being with two natures,
he's 100% God, and 100% Man, the Muslim position is that he was a
human, non divine prophet. So the essence is human be particular is
profit. That's the what and the who, of Islamic Christology.
With respect to the practical aspect, the most virtuous
lifestyle for Catholic Christians is to join a religious order, and
take vows of chastity and poverty.
So to be poor and celibate, is the most virtuous type of lifestyle.
For Protestants, one is saved by faith alone. This is a doctrine
called sola fee de ultimately, good works do not factor in at all
at all, when it comes to one's salvation, so this leads to a type
of antinomianism is one of those fancy words that academics use
antinomianism means a rejection of Shetty, ah, people who reject the
Shediac there's nothing to ground them. So you start making claims.
For Jews, at least the Orthodox and conservative, the most
virtuous life is where one or a person tries to complete all of
the 613 commandments mentioned in the Torah, a project that could
take several lifetimes. So a lot of people don't know this, but
Orthodox Jews believe in reincarnation.
It's a traditional orthodox belief, it's called Gilgal Harnish
Shama in Hebrew. In other words, the Jewish Shediac, the Halacha of
bunny soil is so vast, it's so cumbersome,
right? That it takes several lifetimes, and you have to do all
the commandments.
In Islam, there's a balance. According to the hadith of
Gabriel, Islam, Iman and Hassan Islam in this context means
outward submission eemaan, meaning an inward submission, inward
belief and then axon is the relational aspect. And if there's
deficiency in good deeds,
then there's there's purification in the grave. There's I've able to
cover there's a hard hisab or hard reckoning on the human the piano.
There's even according to the Sunni tradition,
some of the malarkey doing some of the monotheists that were lacks in
their prayer and things like that there's a purification and
Jahannam and they'll come out of that eventually. So good works
means means something Oh,
Ultimately we're saved by grace and cloud a lot either in the
lobby silicon Donald Jana, eventually Java to either
so it's a middle way the profit the Quran says eat and drink, but
not to access. The Prophet said and decaf, so naughty
for Magnolia and so naughty Felisa many marriages my so not my
normative practice, whoever turns away from my practice is not from
me.
These are all sort of the aspects of the ummah. Lasota Martin basato
Allah says another idea in this the messenger as a witness against
you and your witnesses against the people. And then he quotes this
famous famous verse, verse 41, from an ISA.
Okay for either gentlemen Kulu Mateen Bucha here now because
Allahu Allah is Shaheed how will it be when we bring a witness from
every community and we bring you as a witness against these, and
the Prophet sallallaahu Salam, he, he had a villa in Massoud recite
this ayah and when he got to this Surah, when he gets to this ayah,
the prophet began to weep according to the Hadith.
So he means a balanced and good
balanced community balance is always seen as something that's
good and this is,
this is transhistorical transcendental even if you go to
Eastern philosophy, the way of the Buddha is the middle way.
If you go to Confucius, the Middle Way ancient Greek philosophy,
Plato said May they are gone in Greek, which means never in
excess.
He's talking about good things, not bad things.
Allah subhanaw taala says he quotes other I hear from sorta
Eunice is number two
well that should Alladhina amanu another home koderma sitcom in the
rugby him give good news to those who believe that they have a sure
footing with their Lord.
A Tada Hassan adversities they even know Aslam these are
champions of the Tiberian they said the sure footing the condom a
sitcom mentioned in this ayah Surah Yunus is number two chapter
10 Verse Two is the prophets of the Lord he said that
it was sorry that was a Sahabi said the same thing Salah to study
said it's the pre ordained mercy which a lot placed in Mohamed
Salah body send them so had to study as a third century scholar
from Persia.
So you know he's really smart.
Persian
there's another verse here I skipped over it last week but
verse 256 of an Bacara this right after I attended quotacy
were allowed to kind of what to Allah says Whoever believes in
Allah has taken hold of the firm as handled an order what to do
with car and or what will with car
door Fernanda salami said this is the Prophet sallallahu he said. So
he is sure footing and affirm handhold
so you can think of an analogy.
Imagine a parable.
Imagine you have to climb the face of a steep mountain.
And you have a friend at the top of the mountain who throws down to
you a safety cable which is tied us around your waist. So we tie
the safety cable around your waist. And then your friend tells
you exactly where to put your feet in your hands. Put your hand here,
put your foot here, put your hand here. So in this parable, your
friend at the top is ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is only a parable. When he
laid the method in Allah.
The goal is to reach him.
He throws down to you a
a lifeline a safety cable habit Allah. This is the analogy use
where I just seem to be heavily lucky Jimmy and Walter Farah who
hold on tightly all of you to the cable extension the Safety Line,
the safety rope, the safety cable, however you want to say it that
Allah subhanaw taala extends down for you.
And then the handholds and footholds. caught them a sitcom or
what will what call these are the Sunnah.
These are the sudden
loss of Hanoi to add on of course the steep hill represents the
dunya how do we get through the dunya and meet our friend at the
top as it worked?
Is we have the Quran and Sunnah have a little lot of them are
sipping or what will with QA. There are some who tie the rope
around their waist and they reject the footholds and handholds said I
need this I'll find my own way. So they start climbing and they slip.
And then the rope, right catches them from falling. They climb some
more and they slip and the rope catches them and they almost get
to the top. The rope snapped and they fall in their doom.
Because there's no separating the
Quran from sunnah illogical position. The Quran says to Allah
what your Rasul obey Allah obey Allah which means obey the Quran
and obey Rasul. What is that sunnah?
It's an illogical position
doesn't make any sense.
Someone says I only follow the Quran and they drink alcohol. You
only follow the Quran really?
Section three now, let's see how we're doing on time.
So halfway there any questions?
Clarifying questions or
everything's okay. All right, section three concerning allows
kindness and gentleness to him.
So called the area equals this idea which is I have 43 of a Toba
943 Allah has pardoned you. Why did you give them leave before it
was clear to you which of them spoke the truth? And you knew the
liars? So the Prophet saw the law, the sentiment he's being
admonished here is reprimanded here by Allah subhanho wa taala.
And this happens a few times a couple of times in the Quran.
Some of Kandi said that, that Allah that, that one of the people
of knowledge that Allah has protected the meaning of Allah as
part in you, is Allah is protected you sound of heart. Why did you
then give them leave? He says, if the prophet had first been
addressed with the words, why did you give them leave? If that was
the beginning of the I, Lima event, Allah whom he says his
heart might have burst out of terror? At these words, a direct
reprimand from Allah subhanho wa taala. However, Allah subhana wa
Tada informed him first of pardoned by his mercy so that his
heart would remain calm. And only then did he say to him Vemma I
think to love them, why did you give them leave? So the prophets
of Allah they said that he gave some men permission to stay behind
and not go out for the taboo expedition. So his point here is
that Allah subhanaw taala began the reprimand to his hubby by
saying, I felt alone I think,
I've already forgiven you. But why did you? Why did you give them
leave?
And this is different if Allah would have said ha for Allah who
lack referral, right?
lafora According to Imam Al Ghazali is one of the names of
Allah Allah Horfield I look a fool I look afar refer needs to conceal
something according to my mentors as early in its etymology to
conceal it but it's still kind of there.
But I fu Allah is the facer Alpha Allahu eink erased it completely.
Say Mama bizarrely says this is more effectual. This is this is
more soothing to the heart. That here I love again i follow Anke
it's completely gone. But why did you give them leave?
This shows the highest station with a lost his father yet
which is not hidden from anyone with the least intelligence it
shows the honor by which he holds his prophet and his kindness to
him. And if the whole of it were known, the heart would burst.
Same applies to the words we know that what they say grieves you are
the non animal inner who zuka and Lydia Kowloon.
We know that what they say grieves you gives you a frozen
in the hula you can see Buddha while Akina Bali Mina be it lahaie
Ah ha Dune, it is not you they call a liar, but the evildoers it
is the signs of Allah the Ayatollah that they deny.
So what is the ISA the wish of the king did not doubt the sincerity
of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. He mama Tubridy Imam has a machete
they mentioned that they nicknamed him a Saudi coal I mean, that was
their name for him. It's not a name given in the Quran or Hadith,
although he's called Amin, and saw them in sacred texts as well. But
this is before the the Bertha.
They claimed they claimed that the Prophet was sort of sincerely
deluded. But this was also just an excuse. This is not accurate as
well, because the ISS lacking ivali mean a big lie Yes. Why
don't they have Giroud in Arabic, the verb yatch. Hadwin comes from
the word Giroud coup for a Jew food is to know something is true
in your heart, but you just can't bring yourself to acknowledge it
with the tongue.
You hold the belief in the club, but it's not going to manifest on
the tongue. Why? Out of arrogance, or some sort of ulterior motive
desire?
or out of spite. Right? People just can't admit they're wrong
about something. It said that Abuja have told the prophet, we do
not call you a liar. We say that what you have brought is a lie. So
I'll reveal this if it is also related that the Prophet was
distressed when his people cried lies against him. So attribute Ali
Salam came to him and said, Why are you distressed? He said, My
people have called me a liar. Gibreel said, they know that
you're telling the truth. Then Allah sent down this ayah.
So this was very shocking to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, these
people who always loved him and trusted him and gave him these
lofty titles, just suddenly accusing him of being a liar.
I don't know if I can
give an adequate analogy. You know, Galileo was
an Italian astronomer for the 17th century, you guys know, Galileo,
Galileo, who probably had a 200 IQ.
And he was a Catholic. And so he was a genius. Everyone knew he's a
genius. Imagine like, he goes to some of his colleagues. And he
says, You know, I think it's heliocentrism I think the earth is
going around the sun.
They say, what are you stupid?
Imagine how that would hit him. How can I be? I'm gonna let your
you've called me a genius, my whole life. And now I'm suddenly
stupid. It doesn't make any sense.
You just don't like what I'm saying. Because
there's, there's something about your doctrine that it doesn't sit
well with you.
It's like the allegory of the cave that Plato gives in the republic
is people sitting in a cave looking at shadows on the wall,
one man gets up and he sees the actual forms the the reality of
what's casting the shadows. So he goes back to the people and he
says, this is fake. This is a reflection, realities outside and
they say shut up and sit down. You don't know what you're talking
about. They start beating him. So he sits down, but now he's blind.
You can't see the shadows anymore.
People just get they get comfortable in their ways. Right.
So Mama Tubridy says, the real reason why they rejected the Koran
is because of their moral stubbornness. They did not want to
be moral people, they enjoy their hedonistic lifestyles.
So the prophets that Theo centrism he put God at the center is moral
principles would compromise their positions of power and influence
and pleasure.
So most of them we should again actually respected the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, they respected him, but they could not accept his
message.
Conversely, most of the Bani Israel, Elan Yathrib in Madina
Munawwara they they respected his message is to hate, but they can't
accept the man
because he's not, he's not Jewish, he's Arab. And there was a
prevalent belief amongst them. I mean, systematic Jewish theology,
wasn't born for another 400 years.
Apparently, there was a belief that there are no Gentile
prophets. The hadith says that many of the Jews in Medina did
believe he was a prophet
Behati says that there's it relates to Hadith, that they would
sneeze in his presence on purpose.
See him walk by.
And then the problem is that you're humble Kamala to me,
because they thought he was a prophet, but he's for the Arabs.
He's not for us.
This type of thing.
All right.
Oh, by the way, that verse, we know we know that what they say
grieves you is not you they call a liar, but the evildoers that's
sort of
chapter six verse 33.
Now on page 14,
then Allah console says, This is the second full paragraph.
Then Allah consultive and makes them rejoice by what he says about
those before and the promise of his help to come. So let us find
out what to add. It tells the Prophet salallahu Salam in the
next if I have 34 Sorta. What could the bathroom in Kawika
messengers before you were belied Subaru or landmark could zebu
they endured patiently that they were called liars. Woohoo, and
they suffered HUD ta home Asuna until our help came to them
and then called the REI dimensions, among the things that
are mentioned about his special qualities, the facade is of the
Prophet salallahu Salam is that Allah subhana wa Tala addresses
the other prophets by their actual first names is some Adam. Yeah,
Adam. Yeah, newer. Yeah, Ibrahim. Yeah, Musa yada, would ya a
subdomain?
Yep, yes sir Korea Yeah, yeah. But he never says yeah Mohammed in the
Quran that Allah Subhana Allah uses the title of the Prophet so
the lady said, yeah, you have Rasul.
Yeah. Are you Hannah BU?
Yeah. Are you Helen Muslim? Yeah, you have a
section for concerning a loss swearing by his imminent by his
immense worth.
Allah quotes the IEA 72 solo tour hedger, Lam Ruka. Lambert Ruka. In
the homeless is Socratic anemia and Mahone. By your life, Allah
takes an oath by the life of the prophet they said, they are
wandering about in their drunkenness
and even not best said, I have not heard that a law made an oath by
the life of any other person.
A lot did not create originate or make any soul that he honored more
than the soul the prophesy said. Allah says yes, email Quran Al
Hakim.
What surah is this?
I think that's good.
The commentators disagree about the meaning of Yacine saying
different things about it. Abu Mohammed McKee related that the
Prophet said I have 10 names with my Lord. I think this hadith is
shemail as well. He mentioned Taha, and Eocene. So these are
from the ayat moto Shabbiha. These are these are obscure verses that
are not definitively established in their meanings. They're 29
suatu of the Quran that begin with these
booklet that as they're called is disjointed letters. And if not
mean LF membre hammy Yacine cough noon Cafe Yeah.
So Allahu Allah, some some of the orlimar engaged in the wheel wheel
is like a esoteric exegesis. But all of them say Allahu Allah,
nobody really knows.
But that's the thing about a scholar you say? Nobody knows it.
Well, maybe it means there's a lot
of the ramen ramen a tsunami set. A Jaffa saw there was a great Imam
of Al Azhar. No one Gemma by the way. Jaffa saw duck is the sixth
imam of the Shia. But we claim him as a Sunni Imam. He was a teacher
of melograno and us in Abu Hanifa is the great great great grandson
of the Prophet salallahu Salam, WA Jaffa saw.
He said the meaning of Yacine as you say yet
addressing the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
There's a popular book that some of our brethren love called keytab
bitter heed
by Hamid Abdul Wahab
very popular book where he says that calling the prophets say it
is not preferable.
Quotes a hadith of Abu Dawood
but he classifies it as weak.
But he says nonetheless, he quotes the hadith of a waft a delegation
from Benny Omer came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and
they said until say, you do not you are say it. The Prophet said,
I say it Allah, Allah has to say it.
Then you continue total Nadi Salam don't let che tun provoke you. In
other words, be careful about exaggerating my status. This is
not a prohibition against calling him say it.
Right? He is a seated.
In fact, the Prophet sallallahu sallam. He said Ibni had that say
you don't? Who's he talking about? Imam Hassan, his grandson? How can
Imam Hassan be you say it but the Prophet sallallahu Sallam has not
say it or it's not preferable to call him said the Prophet said in
a hadith that is absolutely sound because he intended the NSA you do
well the Adam was in the master of the children of Adam. And it's not
a boast. This is the truth. Allah subhana wa Donna says in the Quran
about Yeah, it Salaam mahkamah Yasha is not MACOM of the prophets
of Allah. He said.
Yeah, it's not even from the oral Azim in our Rasul
Allah He but she looked at me yeah Musa Combi Callie met him in
Allah. He was a Yidden waha Surah that yeah, it's called sacred.
So if you know your Aki da, then it is preferable
to refer to the Prophet salallahu Salam as sacred because this is
the reality.
If you don't know Arcada you're using terms for a law and for the
profit then.
Right? Like the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he said don't write down
the Hadith initially. So that's not confused with the Quran, but
want to become familiar.
With the Quran you become familiar with the Hadith, then start
recording things and record my Hadith
This is why when you make like, when you make Dawa to someone you
don't, you should first you shouldn't be talking about Jinn
in your first dollar attempt to talk about Toki
or you start giving expositions of the shitty art and things like
that
you're going to lose people
loss of kind of what the analysis I mean that he Kalki Tableau, or
even bass said that these letters are oaths, Assam, which Allah
swears, he and other people have said various things I had to study

Salam
Allahu Allah
section five, concerning Allah's oath, to come to confirm his place
with him.
So here are their Yad he quotes the entire Surah will do Ha, the
translation says Surah 94. But that's incorrect. surah 93 Allah
subhana wa Tada says, and imamo suity by the way, he says about
the Surah Surah 93 Doha, as well as an in Shira, the sutra that
follows after it, or suit, he says in the ISKCON. This is one of one
of three or four times in which the Prophet salallahu Salam
received a sutra through interior location without angelic
mediation,
that this sutra was placed directly into his heart directly
by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada without the mediation of Jubilees Allah
will do however lately either suggest Maota ACARA Bukoba Kala,
she translates your Lord has so by the for noon and the night when it
is still your Lord has neither forsaken you nor hates you. So the
Arabic doesn't say you, Carla Calaca
even though Carla is a federal motor, it generally requires a
direct object. Allah subhanaw taala doesn't give a direct object
because ALLAH SubhanA what data would never hint that he hates the
prophets of the body. So
why was Why would Allah say this? Your Lord has not forsaken you
notice he ate, and it's understood you but he didn't say that is
because according to the
tafsir
spotland Zoo, that there was a break in the revelation for a few
days or months there's difference of opinion. Some of them were
really keen or making fun of the prophets on Ali Salaam. And they
say things like Nora who won't die walk Allah who is Lord has
forsaken him and he hates him. Now what do I got up? Buccola my
Paula. Well, Sierra to Hyrule like Amina Gula what is later is better
than what is
former that's literally what it says. The afterlife is better than
dunya with the Arabic doesn't say dunya Filomena dunya
hula It could mean dunya the afterlife is better than the dunya
for you. Or you can take it to mean what comes later is better
than what's happening now.
There's going to be Medina later. That's better. There's still going
to be problems and Medina that's life.
But it's gonna be better than now.
On a sofa, you are on T Cara Buka total doll and sofa sofa is using
Arabic for distant future. It's going to take some time. But
eventually your Lord will give you something and immediately you're
going to be pleased. But you have to go through some some trials.
According to Abu noraim mama de la mia, the prophets of Allah Ali
Salam said, Len l da are ye doing an almighty? If not, I will never
be pleased. Well, one person from my own lies in the fire. When this
is I was revealed.
That
well so for your article rabuka for total dog soon will your Lord
give you something and you'll be pleased?
What will the Lord give him
Kofa shefa
make him head of state and Medina.
All of these things come in the future. And then Allah subhana wa
Tada
is nothing.
And then Allah subhana wa Tada. He He gives us three rhetorical
questions. He gives the Prophet three rhetorical questions as
reminders of past blessings. And this is a good way of dealing with
depression. The profit was a little bit down during this time.
And psychologists say that a good way of coming out of depression
Just remind yourself of the blessings in your life. Sit down
and just think about the blessings.
What's happened in the past ILM big ticket, your team and for our
were you not? Did he not find you an orphan and give you shelter his
father died before he was born. His mother died when he was six.
His grandfather died when he was eight Abu Talib raised him I
believe Paula was the means by which Allah sheltered His Prophet.
And the Prophet return the favor by the way, when Abu Talib was
much older, he had some financial issues, and he couldn't take care
of all of his sons. So the Prophet said give me one, take it say now
he was raised in that debate of the prophets of the bodies in the
house of the prophets of Allah azza
wa jal Dukkha ball and for hada this is a bad translation that she
made here. Did he not find you misguided that's a terrible
translation
gone here does not mean misguided it means to be searching for
something wondering
well
is it right
that's good, I have an old edition.
Any questions
it signifies a type of a type of greatness, all the money in that
object itself and this is something that the pre Islamic
Arabs the shoe out all the poets would have recognized. So, the
Quran is not poetry, but it is poetic.
It's also kind of what to add up
is is is appealing to the the initial audience of the Quran. And
so the initial audience are seventh century Arabs that are
extremely gifted in poetry. Right. Now, the interesting thing about
the Quran is according to the Imam Baca, Lani, it doesn't fit any of
the meters of Gianni poetry.
This is what back in and he considers to be sort of an element
of the jaws of the Quran. element of the sort of inadmissibility of
the Quran is that as unclassifiable right, the Arabs
didn't know what to do with it. But pre Islamic Arab poetry had
these types of oath statements, oath clusters as they're called.
Right. So it appealed to their sort of tastes and they knew that
if Allah Subhana Allah is taking an oath by something, then that
thing must be great. So Allah subhanaw taala only takes those by
great things in the Quran and we can only take those by Allah. If
we're lucky we don't take all this by anything else.
Any other questions?
Just want to finish this part right here and yes. Oh god.
Gotta go. Yeah, go ahead
I don't know if I need to repeat the question just comparing that
the offer that the Prophet asked for, compared to the offer that or
not that the Prophet asked for that was given to the Prophet
compared to the Prophet to offer that. Yeah. So according to our
Prophet otology,
A prophet is, any prophet is is incapable of consciously
disobeying Allah subhanho wa taala. But they can make errors in
judgment. So this was a slip in the in the judgment of the
prophets of Allah because he's not all knowing he doesn't. He's not
infallible in that sense that Allah is perfect. Right? So
prophets can be Garrison, just Eunice Ali salaam
according to His judgment, these people in Nineveh they're not
going to believe in the Toshi. So he said to himself, let me go to a
different city for the dalla. But he didn't take permission from
Allah Subhana Allah. So Allah dealt with him partially because
the higher the MACOM, the more that's expected from you.
Right?
That's why, you know, sometimes you have someone who has a lot of
knowledge might even be a half as of Quran, who is really not doing
what he's supposed to be doing. And things go really bad in his
life really bad because there's a high expectation from this person.
Right? As far as us we commit you know, Tibet or sin
so when we ask Allah subhana wa Taala for alpha, we're asking for
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada to completely II face all of those
sins. Whereas with the prophets I said I'm all those minor sort of
slips of errors and judgments already faced.
So one of the one of the favorite Duels of the prophets of Allah is
Allah Houma in the Gulf, we went with alpha, Firefly now, right?
This is one of his most favorite duels especially during the month
of Ramadan.
So,
inshallah to Allah,
make the DUA call on the name, APU, that Yamanaka Yama, these
things that we do are completely just erased from the record.
There's no trace of them. That's what it means.
Any other questions?
From the sister side?
Yeah, just wanted to make that comment. So it's been corrected,
wandering, instead of misguided or whatever it goes all in for hada
that the province has done was searching for a shut er a revealed
law.
He never strayed from Tawheed
and he was never immoral even by the standards of the shitty I even
before the Shediac he was from the whole nofap he was from the
Abrahamic Abrahamic monotheists who were still around in Mecca at
the time, he never worship idols.
Well, what dedica
did he not find you needy and enrich you? So you might want to
by the way here says that this is a reference to our mother, her
digital Cobra.
That the Allah subhanaw taala is reminding the prophets of Allah,
the cinema the blessing of a good and supportive wife, that she was
his first disciple, that she encouraged him. There's a hadith
and Abu Dawood, that were told that years after the death of
Phoenicia on the Prophet sallallahu sallam was living in
Medina. And necklace once owned by Khadija was brought to Medina in
order to ransom one of the captives that brother and Aisha
says when the Prophet saw a lot of
attention at the time, that he had this like intense sensitivity and
tenderness towards just an object from his first wife. Because she
had remembered how much he had that's the karma
will continue next week
so we're continuing this is now
we are in part one,
chapter one
in the middle of Section Five
of keytab was she thought
for those following along?
This is the second full paragraph on page 18.
So here Collier yard he quotes from the Quran here similar to
najem, Sunnah 53
The first 18 verses 53 One through 18.
So he begins by saying when Najmi either Hawa
by the
Star when it plunges
and the najem here the star according to the exits. Some of
the exigency is a reference to the 10 zeal of the Quran 10 zeal is a
reference to the,
the revelation of the Quran in continual installments.
So there's an enzyme that's mentioned an enzyme is the Quran
being sent down in one shot as it were on later to the other in
Anzahl. Now who and Zelina This is the verb. The noun is enzyme, so
the Quran descending from the lower to the summit with dunya.
And then from the summit with dunya. There was a Tenzin
every so often, a few Ayat over 23 years would be revealed to the
Prophet sallallahu sallam. So this is an opinion of Imam Al Bukhari
and Imam a Tabori that the meaning of najem here and 53 one is a
reference to the 10 zeal of the Quran that the ayat are symbolized
as a new Joom. Another opinion that called the IAD mentions here
is that the najem and this is the opinion of Jaffa had been Mohammed
is that it is the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that he is the
najem or it's the heart of the Prophet salallahu Salam.
And he says people say similarly, that in the verses, somebody will
talk with my document taught in Nigeria, thank you.
So the taarak verses one through three By the heaven and the
Nightstar. And what will explain to you what is a taarak? The
Nightstar is a store of piercing brightness.
So he says here that not only is the najem mentioned in 53, one, a
name of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam were a symbol of the
Prophet. So as a toric mentioned in surah, two Tarik. So when Najmi
either Hawa by the star when it descends, this is a reference then
to the the ascension or the descent of the Prophet sallallaahu
salam for Mr. Della Tillman Taha on later to Israel El Mirage.
Well lo Harlem he continues quoting the surah
masa, Marbella, Sahiba como mal Okawa, that your companion is not
a stray. Notice the air Why am I anticolonial Hawa
nor is he speak from Caprice in the translation here doesn't do it
quite justice. No translation really does. It should say nor
does he ever speak from Caprice. Because when you have ma as a
negating particle of a verb that's in the imperfect, the meaning is
really never
in what Allah why you you have this is only a revelation
revealed.
And here the Arabic is a is a negation, followed by an
affirmation as we said, in the previous classes, this is a very
strong way of negating of making a statement in Arabic. It's like our
shahada La Ilaha illa Allah in Hua Illa inherence is negating
particle into a law what do you have? It has nothing except
revelation
that He only speaks revelation
I lemma Hirsch. I need to go
talk to him by one mighty and power.
So my mama Tabari here says that this is a reference to the more I
limb of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam who is Jubail Ali Salam.
And then he continues to quote Surah to najem Lomira 10 for
Stella Wahoo a bill afocal Allah for Medina Fidella for Cana cavaco
SANY Oh, au Adena. He stood poised while he was on the higher horizon
there and then drew near and hung suspended to bow lengths away or
nearer.
So here
it's mentioned by the Mamas the machete II mama tombery.
That this is a reference to one of the two times in which the Prophet
salallahu Salam
saw Gibreel it Salam, or do you believe in Islam appeared to him
in his actual created form.
So either tribute it to them drew nearer to the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, or Allah subhanho wa Taala drew nearer to the Prophet
salallahu Salam, Salam identifer to della, then he the Prophet drew
near and he Allah came close. So not in terms of space, time, or
distance, if we take the ladder interpretation that is a reference
to a law drawing near to the Prophet salallahu Salam.
We're not talking about anything to do with any type of physical
space or direction.
Because Allah subhanaw taala transcends space, time and matter.
So then when it says forget about CO Sani Oh, Adena that he was
within two bow lengths or even closer
her bow is about six feet to bow length is about 12 feet. So we
don't take the literal meaning here, this is majaz This is
figurative.
The meaning is that Allah subhana wa sallam was very very close in
relationship was close to the Prophet in love. This is similar
to the meaning of the Hadith glitzy we quoted last time when I
as I do it at the carnival ILA he didn't know I felt
that my servant didn't continues to draw close unto me with his no
often is extra credit worship supererogatory worship until I
love him. So this type of quality or closeness or proximity or
relational closeness, not a physical closeness. Of course the
Quran says we're not credible either human have a little
worried. Allah Subhana Allah says we are closer to the human being
than his jugular vein. So this idea denotes what's known as the
imminent deity in western theology.
There's there's an idea of imminence closeness of God, that
Allah subhana wa Tada is close to the human being. Allah subhana wa
Tada has concern for the human being. He's not a cold or reserved
or distant deity. He's on a totally transcendent deity as in
like a Aristotelian God or a Deist. God.
There's a hadith there's multiple it's in multiple books of Hadith
actually Sahih Muslim Abu Dawood and Maasai with a Prophet
sallallahu Sallam he said, Oh, caribou, Maya Kunal Abner Robbie
Higa, who has Sajid Kumbhakarna. And he sent out to a salon, that
the closest a service can be to his Lord is when he is in such
debt.
So obviously, this has nothing to do with directionality. Right? So
this idea that, you know, Allah is up in the sky somewhere, right?
This idea is grossly anthropomorphic and incorrect that
if I pray on my roof, that I'm closer to God or something, the
prophets that whoever's in such depth is in reality, closer to
Allah Subhan Allah to Allah and then he said, For Athena dua, so
make a lot of dua in Sajida. In the Hanafi school, we would do
this in the naskila prayers, not in the forearm.
What am i Teacher said that USITC Salam was closer to Allah subhanaw
taala in reality, and where it was Eunice he was in he was little
Matt fat, photo mat. It was in levels of darknesses and the belly
of the whale in the darkness of the night. The darkness of the
ocean fit through Matt, but he was in such awe. And he was making dua
he was making Toba La ilaha illa and Subhanak iniquity terminal
volume in one of my teachers said that you want to Saudi Saddam was
closer to Allah subhana wa Tada at that moment than an angel is
standing in the beta will be it will matter more beyond the
seventh heaven or in the seventh heaven because Eunice IA Salaam is
in such dire
so they are gonna say that.
Then we're saying that at this mom at this station, the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam experienced
though Yeah, and he continues to say here, he continues to quote
from sorta to najem Oh, hi either Abdi Hema? Oh Ha, we'll come back
to this is my kettlebell to add umara
his heart did not lie about what he saw, or his heart did not lie
about what it saw. The moment of course, will be mentioned here
that the meaning is that the Prophet salallahu Salam did in
fact experience through what's known as the beatific vision of
Allah subhanho wa Taala that he saw Allah subhanahu wa to Allah
and this is something that's part of our essential Creed II mama to
how he says in the Akita to how we are, he says to Hakone le Jana,
that the Beatific Vision, gazing upon the countenance of Allah
subhanho wa Taala is is is true is a reality for the people of
paradise.
And that he'll quote the I kettlebell caribou analogy number
two, the Lunar Module One yoga even now Vera Ihlara piano Vera,
that on that day faces will be illuminated, gazing towards their
Lord Sudha Yeoman Qiyamah.
So, you know, I'm gonna call it Toby he suggests that Allah
subhanho wa taala,
that that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam saw Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah with his full AD make have a beautiful ad umara. This Fuad here
is translated as heart. It's one of the ways of saying heart and
Arabic. Sometimes it's translated as the inflamed heart. fadda means
To roast or to burn,
to inflame sometimes it's called the emotive heart.
Alright, so when the Prophet sallallahu sallam,
when he saw lots of kind of what data you can imagine it was a very
extremely powerful emotional experience. But he did not let his
emotions over overpower him. And he remained compose. Another way
of translating or thinking about the fu ad is what's known as the
mind's eye. Right? The mind's eye, not the physical eye, the bustle,
but the mind's eyes. So this is related to the faculty of
understanding this is something that is non physical. This idea
actually goes back to Plato. Right, this idea that you see,
particularly with your physical eye, but you have to contemplate
the essences or the real forms of things with your mind's eye, as he
says.
So when you see something with your mind's eye, it means you
really understand it at a deep level. Right? So if I explain
something to you, if I explain, I don't know I'm not good at math,
but if I explain algebra to you, and you see, I see, that means you
understand, you understand something in your mind's eye.
So it indicates a deep type of Gnosis or mattify. And a tea is
too hot.
So with this understanding, he experienced an incredible
understanding of Allah subhanaw taala
the strongest sense of Madhava possible for a human being
so
he experienced the auroria the Beatific Vision, as we said, how
did he say hola, hola que creo as a mama to how he says, it's a
modal that means there's there's no way of understanding it. It's
without a howl Enos to it and it's beyond our comprehension.
It's not the physical eye but a type of powerful Theophany or
experience of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And this vein, the ayah is sometimes quoted led to the good
Apsara What will you do? You couldn't absorb?
That no vision can grasp him, yet he grasps all vision.
Or he did see something with his eye. His bizarre
there's a hadith in Muslim Abu Dhabi. He says that he asked the
Prophet Soleimani Selim has an aeta not buck, did you see your
Lord? The Prophet sallallahu Sallam responded with our H O
neuron. I saw a light now some people understand this response as
an affirmative.
But Allah subhanaw taala is not corporeal.
He doesn't have a physical physicality to him. He's not
material.
So according to this understanding, then
he did not see the Essence of Allah subhanaw taala or what Allah
subhanho wa Taala is in himself as it were. But rather than Prophet
sallallahu Sallam he experienced the greatest possible self
disclosure or to gently of Allah subhanaw taala. It was a veil of
light that concealed the divine essence that is to say, a
brilliant created light that symbolized the divine essence or
symbolizes the Divine Presence. Allahu Allah.
We think back to the ayah and so that's what our off Musa alayhis
salam where he says rugby Adeney under ILEC Oh my Lord, show
yourself to me so that I might gaze upon you.
And then Allah subhana wa Anicet Lanta, Ronnie, you will not see
me. But look at the mountain.
I will manifest myself to the mountain and if the mountain stays
put then you will see me and then Allah subhanaw taala says this is
I have 143 of swords allowed off for that matter. gelada who will
Japan when Allah subhanaw taala
manifested or disclosed himself to the mountain so this doesn't mean
that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada came into the physical world, right?
That it was an incredible blinding physical light symbolizing the
divine essence this is what manifested according to this
understanding. What Giteau duck gun and then the mountain was
pulverized well Hara Musa Sayaka and Musa fell down thunderstruck.
And some of the Allah mentioned him as a machete mama tivity
actually mentioned that Musa died that he actually died. Right. This
is mentioned in the FSU, Falana Fr. Ca and then he regained his
sense as being he was resurrected after that
this is something I think
Uh, maybe the medieval Jewish theologians
took from Muslim theologians as well, probably the most famous
Jewish theologian, my manatees.
He said that, and that he was a product of, you know, the Muslim
world he was.
He lived in Spain and in Egypt and so on and so forth. He's highly
influenced by Imam Al Ghazali, and others. But his opinion was that
when Musab al salam would go into the tabernacle, in Hebrew, it's
got the Mishcon. It's kind of like a portable
tent where Mousavi says I'm gonna go inside. And then a brilliant
light would manifest in front of him. And this light symbolizes the
Presence of Allah Subhana. Allah is a creative light. It's just a
symbol of God's presence. It wasn't God. Right. This slide is
called the Shekinah in Hebrew, this is what my monitor is calls
it.
The Quran actually says that the Ark of the Covenant, which was an
ark that was that was built by the ancient Israelites in the Sinai,
which housed the original Torah, in some of the relics of Musab A
salaam like his staff was in there. The Quran says that the Ark
of the Covenant was endowed with the Shekinah the equivalent is
Sakina right Sakina in the eyes of Wilkie Hey, and yet to your tablet
fee Sakina to Mira become that from the signs of his kingship is
that he gave you the taboo to the Ark of the Covenant, and that
within it is Sakina is Shekinah. And what does this mean? It could
mean that there was some sort of light that emanated from the Ark
of the Covenant.
A sign of, of God's presence as it were to field with was was with
Bani Israel at the time, Allahu Allah.
There's a hadith Doomadgee This is quoted by even Adji but in mumble
sweetie and others
that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he said, Hey, jab oho nor the veil
of God is light
location for her that if this veil was removed, his face would burn
everything in creation.
Right.
However, there is another Hadith
there's another Hadith and this is in multiple books of Hadith. It
Nomada Timothy, Sufi Muslim,
that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he quoted from Surah Yunus verse
number 26, Latina Asante sana was Jada. Those who do good, the
reward is good and something extra.
And the Prophet sallallahu sallam said this zyada is the Rhodia is
the beatific vision of Allah subhanho wa taala.
So he says when the people of paradise enter Paradise, a color
will call out indeed, there remains a promise with Allah. And
then the people will say, have our face has not been illuminated,
save from the fire, it admitted to paradise and other prophets set
for Yorkshire full hijab in the veil is lifted.
The veil is actually lifted.
So Allah He man, I'll tell him Allah Who che and the hyper elite
him in another LA.
And then he said, For by God, nothing is more beloved to them.
Nothing that Allah gave them is more beloved to them, than
glancing at him in the vision of Allah subhanho wa Taala
so the people of Paradise will see Allah subhanho wa Taala with the
veil removed How is this possible Allah Who item be like a fee?
There's no how and is to it. There's no way we could possibly
understand this. But this is a reality
to Hakone l Jana, again, as he Mamata how he says.
So, this is the meaning here going all the way back to Sudha to
najem.
According to many of the aroma
that backcap my my cover, but for our do ma again his heart did not
lie about what it saw where he saw
it continues, will you dispute with him about what he saw?
Indeed, he saw him at another time, by the load tree of the
boundary of Cinturato moonta
which is in the seventh heaven,
near which is the garden of refuge Jana to Ottawa.
When what covered the load tree covered it is I did not swerve nor
sweep OSI mazagan Massaro Mamata La
La Katara Amin iOttie Robbie Hill Cooper Ah, he saw one of the
greatest signs of his Lord
So far they are you have he mentioned here what Allah
disclosed to him of his unseen dominion of the Jabba route. And
the wonders of the angelic realm the mela could cannot be expressed
in words.
And the human intellect would not be able to withstand hearing even
the least part of it. Allah indicates it by indirect illusion
and reference, which shows the esteem in which the prophet is
held. Allah says, Oh ha Illa Abdi Hema Oh Ha.
Which means that then Allah revealed in his servant, whatever
he revealed,
what was that which he revealed?
Some of the earlier I mentioned that
a few things. They say that the end of Al Baqarah was revealed to
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam called how optimal Bukhara the
last two aisles of unbox era, which contains our essential
creed. I'm an ultra soul, this is how it begins. It contains our
essential creed. These were revealed to the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, when he was at the central automata in the seventh heaven.
And GPRS Allah was not there, it was only the Prophet salallahu
Salam. So these verses were placed directly into his heart by Allah
subhanho wa Taala without an angelic mediation
also the aroma mentioned the prayer was made followed during
this time, five times a day. There's a wide of Jannah that was
given to the Prophet and his nation the promise of paradise
and other things
as other Yeah, it says here secrets of the jumbo route and
mela could even add Chiba mentions this also with regard to the the
final idea in that sequence, la Katara Amin iOttie Robbie Hill
Cooper is one of the greatest sides of his Lord even IGP says
these are secrets Assad of the Mallacoota Jabba Rudisill
celestial realms are worlds beyond the molk beyond the perceptible
world.
Ordinary understanding is unable to grasp the details of what was
revealed. So then he says in this ayah Allah alludes to the Prophet
state of total purity and his protection from harm during the
journey, and he's talking about the leanest Raj, he affirmed the
purity of his heart, tongue and I
his heart by the words, my kimberbell humara the purity of
his tongue by Wilma in decolonial Hauer He never speaks from his
capris. And as I muzza Basu, Amma tuffa his I did not swerve nor
sweep aside purity of heart tongue and I if we can guard the purity
if we can make our hearts tongues and eyes pure, then we'll be in a
good state and show that
okay,
sorry.
And then he, he quotes now for the yard. He moves to Surah to took
with this as Sunnah 81 And he quotes
from 15 I have 15 to 25
Never the middle of the surah Allah says, This translation says
No, I swear by those who slip away the runners those who hide
themselves with a night swarming, or the morning sighing in a hula
Cole Rasul and Kareem. This is the job of the custom. So Allah
subhanho wa Taala in the Quran, oftentimes, especially in the
Meccan sewer, you'll take an oath by something, and that's called
the custom and then they'll give the sort of
the, the statement of oath. Like if I say for example, I swear to
Allah that's called an oath, which are waiting for the what's known
as the Jawaban custom. I say well, I prayed Fajr I swear to Allah I
prayed Fajr that's called a doable.
So the job of the custom here
in the who? The kolu Rasul in Karim.
That truly this is the word of a Noble Messenger.
to continue continuous the cool Watson and devil Archie McKean
having power secure with the Lord of the Throne, Muhtar and Thumma
Amin obeyed and trusted then it continues Your companion has not
possessed, he truly saw him on the clear horizon.
So either ignore isa Romani and other said that the Noble
Messenger SallAllahu Sallam is Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. So all
these attributes are his other say other said it is tribute Alia
sunnah. So these qualities are his. He truly saw it means that he
Gibreel saw Muhammad salallahu Salam. It is said that it is said
that it means that he Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam saw his Lord. It
is said that it means he saw Gibreel
In his true form, there's differences of opinion about what
does it mean that he truly saw him on the clear horizon?
Some of you and I must say that again, this is the reference for
the role. Yeah, the beatific vision that the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam experienced on the later to the surah on
marriage.
That is something is going to happen in sha Allah for all the
believers that make it the agenda.
There's even an opinion that everyone on the normal piano will
experience the rakia, everybody will see Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah be like a Fia, without any hollowness within the kuffaar will
suddenly be veiled from him. And they'll never experienced that
again.
Are there? Yeah, he then he moves to Surah Al Kalam. Surah 68.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says noon is one of those letters the photo
full mohatta At noon nobody really knows the meaning. Of course the
order might have their opinions but it's always a level item. A
popular opinion here had been a few you might want to call it to
be is that known here stands for newer light will lower item while
the other main one is tone
at the pen and what they inscribe until the near met the man to be
met material pick up Majnoon you are not by the blessing of your
Lord, a man possessed in a Lukla agilan has item unknown, you
should surely have an unfailing reward or wage in nothing Allah
Allah Hulu canali.
And surely you are possessed of mighty nature or it's it's just
interesting translation Verily you dominate magnificent character,
something that you stand on monumental ethics, something like
that.
So Allah swears by this great oath
that has chosen Prophet was free of what the unbelievers ascribed
to him, and their disdain and rejection of him. He brings joy to
him and increases him and hope. And he addresses him gently,
saying you're not by the blessing of your Lord and man possessed.
This shows the greatest respect, and as an example, the highest
degree of a dub in conversation.
Then he tells him that we will have eternal blessings and an
immeasurable reward with him.
One that can be counted and will not make him in any way indebted
using the words you just surely have an unfailing wage. And he
praises him for the gifts he has given him. He guides him to
himself and confirms that to emphasize his praise worthiness,
he says, what you Nicola Allah who can ordain
so it's very interesting here in the Arabic that the word Allah in
Arabic,
this is called a thoughtful makan. It's a spatial adverb. And usually
if you say Allah, the word that follows it should be something
concrete, right? Like a table or a desk like a column or Allah, Allah
maktab or the pen is on the table. But in rhetoric, if the word that
follows Isla is abstract, like hook means ethics or character.
This denotes what's known as Timucuan or mastery. So what a
hook, you master, crook Alvine. Aleem is added as a as an
adjective, magnificent character,
a standard of character.
It is said that these were words referred to the Quran. And the
translator has a note here that I feel was asked about the character
of the Prophet salallahu Salam. And she said kind of Heroku or the
Quran
that his character was the Quran, he is an embodiment of the keytab.
The word made flesh as it were.
Other sabe refers to Islam
and it has said that they simply mean noble nature.
It is also said that the meaning of them is that the Prophet
sallallaahu Selim has no aspiration except Allah.
Then he says called the area this is an ALA continues to sue by
consoling him for what they said about him. By promising him that
they will be punished he threatens them with his words.
Faster to be zero. Were you busy ruin the IU criminal Mattoon,
you shall see and they will see which of you is afflicted? Surely
your Lord knows very well those who have gone astray from his way
and he knows very well those who are guided.
Then after praising him, Allah centers his enemies makes known
their bad character and enumerates their faults then he follows this
with his bounty and is helping the prophet. He mentioned some 10 or
so centered qualities. So this is
Very common in Semitic rhetoric, it's very common in the Quran.
This idea of by narrative is what is called an English rhetoric or
double portraits or T Bock, this sort of juxtaposition of opposite
ideas. So juxtaposed with the idea describing the prophets, beautiful
character
is the moquette, the been those who are denying the Prophet
salallahu Salam, and their character traits, right. So you
have hook or the aim or hook Mahmoud, praiseworthy character,
juxtaposed with hookah, methylome.
blameworthy character or bad character. So, when you read
these, when we read these descriptions of the character of,
of those who are rejecting the Prophet Soleimani syndrome, the
prophets character is exactly the opposite of this, it is juxtaposed
against this.
So Allah subhanaw taala says do not obey those who reject
and McAfee been the people have to keep right the people who rebel
against God.
And they're proud of it. They call these people today anti theists.
They're not just atheists. This is someone who says there might be a
god but I don't want to obey him anyway. Anti theist right, people
have took the leap kept that the femoral Dooby tugela.
They hope that you will try to conciliate with them and they will
try to conciliate with you. Or another way of translating this,
they hope that you will try to compromise with them and they will
try to compromise with you. So, the Prophet salallahu Salam did
have a conciliatory nature. He compromised at coup de BIA
with the treaty, you know, the Muslims wrote Bismillah R Rahman r
Rahim and then an envoy for the machete Kenan Mecca. So hey, look,
no I'm not and he came in. He said that. What is Bismillah R Rahman r
Rahim who is R Rahman r Rahim is these are the names of Allah. He
said I've never heard of these changes to Allahumma Biss mica in
the prophecy, okay. No problem. And they kept reading the document
and it says, we'll have muddled Rasulullah. And he said, I don't
believe you're Rasulullah. Right. So let's make it more secular.
Let's read ibn Abdullah, because we both agree on that. So the
Prophet Okay, no problem. Right? We can compromise on that. So he
said, saying it show me where it says what a pseudo lies is right
here. And he said to erase it and he said, No, I'm never gonna erase
it. So say Allah, He disobeyed the prophets of Allah is in a matter
of respect for the profits of the license. So you say show me where
it is. He's right here. So he erased it himself.
Right. So he compromise but he did not compromise his theology and
ethics.
There was no compromise when it comes to theology and ethics.
Right now with a man who came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said, Yeah, rasool Allah Ko leafield, Islamic colon, let us
anyone who had an earache, told me something special about Islam,
that only you can tell me what I meant to be left and was stuck in.
Say, I believe in Allah and be firm upon that is the karma. Stand
firm upon that. The principle person, don't be a wishy washy
person.
Of course, even Hashem mentions that early in the Meccan period.
They tried threatening the Prophet sallallahu sallam, they tried to
sort of buying him out. Right? We'll give you one we'll make you
the King and we'll give you this and that and
none of these things, none of these none of these things work
because the problem is that nobody said it but not compromise in
these areas.
So it only continues to describe the McKenzie been
calls them every mean swear or a better translation file oath
monger
for the Tafseer says that they're always swearing by Allah's name,
but they're always lying there on the front of one law. He's one law
he will not he will not you but you can't trust anything. They're
saying.
They're always lying.
Back bite or going about with slander, so they spread gossip,
they love scandal,
hinder of good guilty aggressor. They're harsh, they're negative,
they're immature. Right?
The Prophet sallallahu sallam said it is from a person's Moto, or
maturity that he can hear the opinion of another man and he
won't interrupt him even when he disagrees
this is something that is just lost now. People are just so
easily offended there. They have a term for their triggered now in
colleges, you know they have these sort of safe spaces to go to if
they feel like they've been offended by some some opinion they
don't
Like, they go into these little rooms and they play with Play Doh.
They play video games. This is relatively new. I didn't I don't
remember having safe spaces when I was in an undergrad in the early
2000s.
That's what's happening.
Then of course and rude we said that more over ignoble because he
has wealth and sons. So this is a type of person who thinks that
because he has a lot of children or he has a lot of money, that
he's better than everybody else. Right.
Elsewhere in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala says yo Mala and
federal law alone Well I've been known then on the day of judgment
children or sons children in general or wealth will not benefit
anyone
Illa man at Allah hydrocarbon serene, except the one who brings
to God a sound heart
then it's possible for your wealth and children to benefit you.
Because you spent in the way of Allah and your children make dua
for you so on and so forth.
Then he finishes this section here and pseudo column when our signs
are recited to him
either to to the IDI or to now follow us arteriolar welline They
say these are fairy tales of the ancients.
Right?
Like even like even today, you want people you know the flood,
you know, the flood of Noah the Exodus, this is just mythology and
where's your historical proof?
You know, the Quran says what 10 met Kadima Torah because setup
Anwar Adela
that the word of your Lord is fulfilled in truth and injustice.
In the 1980s, the tomb of a very high ranking Semitic official was
discovered in a place called Varus. Which is in in Egypt. In
Northern Egypt, it usually used to be called Goshen. According to the
Torah, at least, this is where the Israelites lived. This is where
Yaakov is, made hijra to, this is where his 12 sons lived. There was
a tomb found there
that many Egyptologists like David roll, I mean, these are not people
that are necessarily religious, three secular scholars, David
Ayling, Charles Ayling, they say that this is probably the tomb of
Joseph.
This is their opinion
in 1998, with these two brilliant geophysicists at Columbia,
Ryan and Pittman.
And they found exactly
where the flood occurred, when it occurred. And how it happened
is incredible work.
They actually wrote a book, it's called Noah's flood, the new
scientific discoveries about the event that changed history.
It agrees with the Quranic narrative 100% It's really
amazing.
The theory is called the the Black Sea deluge theory
highly encourage you to look it up. Because this is something
that's always attack that like atheists, or secular people write
these stories, they have no historical basis, so on and so
forth.
But you know, this was this book was published in 1998. This is
something relatively new.
So the word of my Lord finds fulfillment, but 10 might carry
matura because silicon will Adela it takes an amount of trust a bit
of trust.
But this is what this is what they look at the beam these are just
fairy tales, you know, what do you what do you believe in this stuff?
This type of thing.
more scientific, right? Or scientific.
Yet they believe that there's something called dark matter.
That's that's sort of the catch all for them. Jupiter makes orbits
around the sun.
But the math doesn't quite work for them. Jupiter's too big. What
keeps Jupiter in its orbit consistently.
Dark matter? What is that? It's just something that's out there.
And it's, it's fills in the gaps of the ignorance. Right? So the
universe is expanding and it's increasing and its expansion.
How's that happening? Dark energy. What does that just trust us? It's
dark energy. Why should they trust you?
Anyway,
a lock includes these words, with the real threat, that their misery
will be complete and their total ruin by saying we will brand him
upon the mud
So the horror tomb or brand him on the nose so the nose is sort of
the the most apparent feature on the face right? So most of the
time I believe this is an idiomatic expression that it means
that Allah will expose people
a face and corruption you'll expose the people of rebellion for
what there really is they'll be proven wrong eventually
Okay, so that's what we're doing any questions or
comments
yeah
so the the standard exegesis here is that
the the recorders the in scribers or the mana ICA,
right then it's an oath, taking the oath by the recording angels
that their pen is recording
the events of the world the deeds of humanity. So laws taking an
oath by the angels will allow them. There may be other meetings
there definitely are other meetings. Others say the kalam is
a reference to the first thing that Allah created. There's a
hadith like this, the first thing that Allah created is the pen.
Right is the sound Hadith, I believe. So Allah Spano Tala, so
then
Allah said to the pen octobe, right.
And then it started writing the history of existence. And that's
why some of the traditions mentioned that when the prophets
of Allah they said it was beyond a scintilla to monta Ha, he heard a
scratching sound and it was the pen writing
the history of existence Well, Aladdin
yeah
some of my spiritual centers we were asking you this, we were
talking about this.
And you're talking about just
my father
was asking all those same angels like everybody different, what's
going on? appear to be different angels.
They're assigned to each person.
Yeah.
Allahu Allah.
But
inshallah That's correct.
So that on the ELMO piano, people receive their key tab. It's
mentioned in the Quran Yarraman Cathy beam has mentioned the
recording angels and then the key tab
the believers in the right hand the unbelievers and the left
hander behind the back
any other question
of course, we want an edited version of that key tab.
We said last time one of the names of Allah is awful. The one who
erases
so the things in the Kitab you like oh, I don't look at this
chapter.
And there's nothing there. It's gone because the Toba was accepted
and Allah just faced it is gone
yeah, there's an AI in the Quran like this Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know the left of the the if there's something like this
and definitely in the Quran.
Yeah.
I have to look it up.
Let's see. So Section six now
is concerning Allah's addressing the Prophet with compassion and
generosity.
So he begins by quoting surah Taha, Allah says Taha, so this is
usually taken to be one of the names of the Prophet Soleimani
seven.
Imam Razi, mentions that Jaffa esodoc Jefra, Salah is the same
one who said that Yacine is Yasay it
and he has a Jaffa sodic says it refers to the purity taharah of
the added bait.
And other say that the meaning is your TA here, one of the names of
the prophets on the
mountains, I think the Quran or the Tishkoff we did not send down
the Quran upon you in order for you to be distressed. It's better
than wretched. If stress is a better word.
He says it is said that so I mentioned as one of the names of
the Prophet sallallahu sallam. One of the meanings also pointed out
bass is oh man, Tom
Aha, in the second dialect, it's mentioned may have been a bass, at
least something attributed to even up bass, that one of the meanings
of TA is oh man, oh, reader, right? So
even his sham relates to the conversion of Satan or model.
Right? We know the source in our mouth that he had a sword and he
was going to dodge on Arkham to kill the profits of a lot. He said
that was his intention. And then a man named your aim a secret Muslim
sees him and says, Where are you going? He's I'm going to go kill
him. And he said, What about your own household so we had to buy
time for the profits of the Life Center. Don't tell them. So saving
our money goes to his house and he can hear a scribe and Bab reciting
from surah Taha
and his sister Fatima, and her husband zeta inside and of course,
we know the story. He busts on the door, they get into a tussle. His
sister is injured, she tries to break up the two men and she's
like, elbowed or punched in the face or something and there's
blood. So a lot of feels bad. So they give him the scroll and he
reads it.
And he reads sort of thought ha ha ha man's and that it can Khurana
the Tesco. This sort of speaks to him directly. Oh, man. We did not
send this Koran in order for you to be distressed. And then he read
Hal attack a hadith of Musa and say no Omar's temperament is very
similar to Moses. According to that prophets, Allah Maxim,
they're very similar. So there's very like sort of,
what do you call it?
A passage that was sort of tailored for him personally, that
appealed to his heart.
By the way, the oldest, the oldest manuscript in the world. Quran
manuscript in the world is contained surah Taha, it's four
pages long in its data to right in the middle of the Meccan period.
This could be the very manuscripts that say no mater was actually
reading it's possible. It's called the Birmingham manuscript. It's in
University of Birmingham in England.
It has also said that it is the imperative of the verb to tread
and that the HA indicates the earth ie stand on the earth with
both feet and do not tire yourself by standing on one foot. This is
why I law says We have not sent down the foot on upon you, for you
to be just distressed.
He sent down the aisle when the Prophet used to make himself stay
awake, and exhaust himself standing in prayer through the
night of Rabbir everyone has said that the Prophet prayed when the
Prophet prayed he used to stand on one leg and then the other so he
was like not like stand on one leg it would rotate or shift his
weight from foot to foot.
So that Allah revealed him ta ie stand with both feet upon the
earth. Oh Mohamed, we have not sent down the Quran upon you, for
you to be distressed. In any case, it is clear that all of this
indicates honor and excellent behavior. Import to be mentioned
something similar to that. Of course, the Hadith intended with
the kindness of a lady sent me Saudi habitat emu koderma the
prophets of Allah He said Mr. printables feed was swell.
Right? So Don't exhaust yourself with this worship, or, according
to the aroma is a reference to the Prophet's grief and incredible
concern for the Meccans
when most of them initially disbelieved in his message,
like we said last last week, the fact that they're not believing
him, even though he had a stellar reputation is something that is
just mind boggling to him. Like why don't you believe me now? Who
else could bring you this message? And you'd believe so this is why
the Quran was is almost like a sense of his distress, that this
is sort of what sort of made this attitude towards me. So Allah was
saying to him, we did not send the Quran down for that purpose.
In this vein, Allah Subhana Allah Allah says in surah calf I in
number six, for the Allah capacity on Neff secca, Allah authority him
in Nam Umino behind that hadith, the assefa Perhaps you will
consume yourself out of grief for them. If they do not believe in
this message.
And then she says ie kill yourself with kill doesn't mean like he's
gonna kill himself literally. It means like MAMARAZZI says, like,
utterly exhausted himself with grief to be so just overcome with
grief, exhausted with grief, because people don't believe in
him.
So Allah says, How do we so willed, We would have sent down on
them from heaven a sign so that their necks would remain humble to
it. In the same vein, Allah says, proclaim what you are commanded
and turn away from the idolaters we are not for you against the
markers in here the markers are the most so you own. That's the
word and Arabic is, is that the markers of the Prophet there's a
special group
Group,
especially bad group from the far right, that are called the Mr.
hizzy goon. These are people who didn't just disbelieve in the
prophets I send them. Like before the Fatah Mecca, Abu Sufian did
not believe in the prophecies of them. And even I'm not even I'll
ask them, I believe the prophecies in them, right? But they're not
for the most data. So you own the most data even or those who mark
the profits of the lottery system. Right. So these are people like
Abu gehele, Abu Lahab, Raka, even Abby more eight, allows him in the
Bay of new Hannah, who may have been heard of none of these men
became Muslim. None of them became Muslim.
They were either killed at butter, or they died from diseases. Every
single one of them was Desi wound. None of them were guided to Islam.
But people that were fierce opponents of the provinces send
them like a booster shot of no harm, tried to kill the promises
that many times but he did not mark the profits of the license.
Right is with an MSA that, that marking the profit is is
tantamount to kofler.
And also breaching up with that after the date of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam puts one and danger of a hotma a bad ending.
Right?
Because of what happened to the Mr. Honeymoon, and your lineage
will not help you because Abu Lahab is Benny Hashem and his
uncle, the Prophet SAW Selim.
And then he says,
We know that your breast is constricted by what they say is an
idiomatic expression. He feels a tightness distress. Nakata now,
what can you do for Ruka be by your Kowloon? You feel a tightness
in your chest because of what they're saying. But then Allah
says messengers before he remarked, and I gave the
unbelievers a respite then I seized him, I seize them.
And Allah set his mind at ease and excuse him saying to Allah, I'm
home.
For my untapped demand, don't turn away from them, you're not to be
blamed.
Well, that was that kid if in vichara, 10 meaning and remind
them for thought reminder, meaning the Quran benefits the believers.
Similarly, Allah says was severely hurt me up big in nexcopy
Ioannina. Be patient under the judgment of your Lord, you are
before our eyes.
Or be patient study for answers. Be patient with the judgment of
thy Lord, for thou art before our eyes. What does that mean?
I asked one of my teachers, can you translate to that to me in
California English, and he says the meaning is, relax, I got your
back.
Relax. I'm backing you up
section seven, let's see how we're doing on time.
It's five minutes till eight any questions or comments
section seven, we'll start it and when I hear the Athan inshallah
concerning allows praise of him and his numerous excellent
qualities. Allah says, if I have alone me faculty been Allah made a
pact with the prophets. This is called the prophetic covenant.
It's mentioned in Sula, it Imran SUTA number three, verse 81 381.
The prophetic covenant covenant is an agreement
stipulating I have given you something of the book Kitab and
Hekmat wisdom, then a messenger will come to you confirming what
you have. You are to believe in him and help him. Allah asked, Do
you acknowledge that? Do you take on that burden of my pact on that
basis? They said Aquila, Rinna, we acknowledge that, that Allah says
fish I do. What Anima akumina Shahidi bear witness and I am
among the witnesses.
I will have obviously said that Allah singled out the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam for excellence which he did not give to anybody
else from a global. He clearly states this in the eye.
The commentators say that Allah made this pact by means of
Revelation, He did not send any profit without mentioning and
describing the profits on his arm to him. The pack stipulated that
if any profit met the profit, so nobody said them, he must believe
in him in said that the pact entailed telling them, their
people about him, and that is stipulated that they must explain
this and describe him to those coming after them.
Last Words Jacqueline, Jacqueline Rasul and then a messenger will
come is in fact addressed to the people the book contemporary with
the profits of the money center.
The next ISS segment one led by the VALIC Fula, eco humble
Facetune.
That whoever turns away after this, they are iniquitous Imam
Razi in order to be say this I am must refer the previous I must
refer them to the prophets and their followers because a prophet
would never turn away and become iniquitous that their followers
might and they have.
So this is just one of the many metok covenants mentioned in the
Quran. There's another covenant it's called the primordial
covenant, mi faculty Aleste. This is mentioned in students without
off verse 172. When Allah subhanaw taala asked all of humanity before
He created their physical bodies, perhaps in some pre somatic
spiritual state where he was questioning all ruler, Ottawa, our
souls I left to be aerobic home, Am I not your Lord? And we
answered by last year hit na. And this is one of the reasons why
according to the aroma, the Quran is called a vicar the reminder.
Right that the latent within our human nature, our fitrah is is
this recognition, re cognition, right to Reno, something to Reno,
our udia or to remember the rudia to the rub, right? It's why people
argue natural law theorists argue that everybody if they think
clearly with reason what they're up to, they must come to the
conclusion that there is a Creator of the universe, and it's a
singular creator.
Those are the sorts of effects of the Covenant you'll molest.
So I guess we'll stop at Children's nearly eight so next
time we'll continue with challenges
sobre la cena Muhammad in 102 he was having a Sunday
good to see a lot of him. So in the lawsuit Mohammed didn't want
early he was a Marine Subhanallah and Milena Ilana Alevtina in
maganda animal Hakeem hola hola. Wonderful water illa biLlah in
early labin Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Charlotte Allah, we're continuing. Inshallah we'll finish chapter
one.
Tonight in sha Allah Tada. I believe we're on Section seven.
There's 10 sections in chapter one.
And then we'll move on inshallah. So last time, we talked about
section seven concerning Allah's praise of him and his numerous
excellent qualities so far, they are yet here he quotes as we said,
so that Imran is number 81. This is called the prophetic covenant.
This is when Allah subhanho wa Taala he took a covenant from all
of the prophets, as we said,
and the gist of the Covenant, according to the commentators that
are quoted here at father yard,
is that the covenant stipulated that if any prophet met the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, he must believe in the
prophets Allah, Larissa
and help the prophets mission.
It has said that the pact or the covenant is called a Meath doc
entailed telling,
telling their people about him as well. So every prophet, describe
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, to their people.
So he says here, Allah's words Jacamo soon, as we said last time
is in fact addressed to the added Kitab that people the book, a
contemporary with the Prophet sallallaahu Salam. And then we
also said the next idea, so then to what about does Attica Thula
eco homall fasciae code.
So, whoever turns away after this, indeed they are sinners, or
iniquitous. So, you might want to also be an Imam Razi state, quite
unequivocally, then that the I hear can not only be addressed to
the prophets, but to their Ummah, their people, because a prophet
would never turn away and become a facet. Should the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam come during his time? It's impossible for a
prophet to do that. Because the prophets have Esma they have a
divine perfection or infallibility divine with a lowercase d divine
meaning that or divine meaning that the source of their a sama is
the is God the deity. So they're free from from
from consciously disobeying Allah subhana wa Taala
So this must also refer to their followers turning away from the
Prophet sallallahu, setting them and becoming iniquitous.
So that's we mentioned that last time so that's called the Mitaka
been. There's another mythique we mentioned last time to mention as
we looked at
our off surah number seven verse 172, the primordial covenant,
mythical Aleste. Right, this is when Allah so kind of what the
Allah took a covenant from all human beings before He created
their their physical bodies, the earth I must say that, that Allah
Subhana Allah questioned our our Ottawa or souls are less to build
up become, Am I not your Lord and we all bore witness, but actually
hit not yes, we bear witness.
Okay, so that was just sort of review from last time.
So I live in every Ptolemy says a lot it Allah subhanho wa Taala did
not send any profit from the time of Adam onwards without making a
pact or covenant with him about Muhammad salallahu Salam. So this
goes back to the previous is Ali Imran verse 81. The second Naveen
if the Prophet sallallaahu Salam was sent while that prophet was
alive, then he would have to believe in him and help him. So he
mentioned that he had to make, he had to make a contract to that
effect against his own people. So de Qatada said something similar
about some other ayat, which refer to the excellence of the Prophet
system in more than one way, in a MAMARAZZI also mentioned here that
this covenant really pertains to any prophet
who fulfills the criteria. For example, yeah, it is it is a Nebby
is a prophet.
But when our isa they said, who's a Rasool
appeared.
Yeah, Ali Salam believed in isa de Salam, and help the mission of a
Saudi Sudan because a Saudi Salam outranks Yeah, it is.
A Saudi Salam is from the greatest of the five prophets. He's a
Rasool which means that he's given a revelation and he's commanded to
the people to take the revelation to the people. While yeah Ali
Salam is a Nebby.
And of course, Allah says Musa dia Combi Kelly Maximian Allah that
yeah Ali Salam will confirm the Word of God meaning you saw the
setup.
Now quality or yet here,
he quotes another verse. This is suited to Aza verse seven.
In which Allah Subhan Allah to Allah says or if a Husna Mina Nibi
Yean Mitaka home.
Well Minka when we know what you bought a Hema Musa isa bindi Maria
so here we have yet another covenant. This is an additional
covenant taken from these five messengers.
These messengers are called the Google as Amina Rasul these are
the five most exalted human beings ever walked the planet Earth you
know, I'm gonna call it to be says they are the great law giving
messengers the Rasul of the Shara right. So you have the mythical
Alas, which is all of humanity, you can think of it as a huge sort
of ring, and then within that ring, concentric circle, that
means back of the 1900 24,000 prophets, although that number is
disputed, according to the Hadith, and then at the center, the the
covenant that Allah Subhana Allah, Allah made with the Rasul the last
minute Russell,
the five profits.
Now cloud, they are yet here, the point of quoting this verse
is to point out the order of the prophets mentioned.
So just to read the verse again, have them in and begin and behold,
or remember we took a covenant from the Prophets Mitaka home, one
min cop, and from you. So the cat the capital, he taught here is a
direct reference to the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam.
Well, when we knew what Ebrahim were Musa, were essentially Maria.
Notice the other four prophets are in chronological order. The
Prophet sallallahu sallam was mentioned first.
That's what he wants to point out here. So just some commentary on
that cloudier yet he mentions
that are not even on top or the ultra I'm who are although I was
lamenting the death of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he said, My
father and mother be a ransom or messenger of God. It has come down
that that part of your excellence with Allah is that he sent you as
the last of the prophets while mentioning you among the first of
them
and then equals the eye. When we made a pact with the prophets,
from you and from Noah new highly salaam
my mother and father be a ransom a messenger of
Allah has come down the part of your excellence with him is that
the people of the fire will wish they had obeyed you
even while they are being punished in his depths and then he quotes
this verse from Surah two
i a number 66 Yeah later on Allah Allah Rasool Oh Would that we have
obeyed Allah and His messenger
and then all the air yet he quotes Qatada, a great exegete who
studied other Ivanov bass, that the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said, I was the first of the prophets to be created.
And the last of them to be sent.
And even cathedra an imam are called to be they mentioned this
as well in their TFS here
and this is related to the idea
that the rule the soul of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
as temporal priority
over the rest of creation.
There's a hadith it's a popular Hadith.
It's attributed to the Muslim enough of Imam Abdul Razak, a
sunnah Annie
Imam uses another Hani also quotes this hadith, the very famous
Hadith in his famous treatise called for that it will not be
what will mighty the merits of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and his
Alma so the Hadith says that it companion him Jabba, even Abdullah
came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
And he said, y'all rasool Allah be EBI unto me, and this is how the
Sahaba would address the Prophet sallallaahu Salam, O Messenger of
God, they use a title Allah uses his title in the Quran as we
mentioned, a lot of never calls him directly by his first name.
The Abbey until what will mean May my parents be ransom for you?
A bit of me.
I want to shade in halacha hula hula and a couple Alessia
inform me about the first thing that Allah Subhana Allah created
before He created anything
Yeah, jabber in Allah to Allah halacha cobbler Usha new Rana
Nebby Yuka me Newari
Oh jabber indeed Allah subhanho wa Taala the most Hi created before
all things the light of your prophet from his light.
This is the Hadith though as it turns out, this hadith is actually
not found in the motion enough of the reserve office and Annie.
No one could trace it back to anything that's authentically
written by him. Most of the arguments today say that this
hadith is Maduro, it's fabricated.
However, however, many, many are lemma. Many are them great are
them. Whether they're scholars of Quran or their fuqaha, or their
Muhaddith. In many orlimar say that the meaning of this hadith is
sound.
It's still a sound meaning. This particular Hadith, however, is
fabricated.
So it is it's permissible to believe in the meaning of this
hadith, that the Prophet salallahu Salam, the light of the Prophet is
the initial creation. It does not make or break your Eman. If
somebody tells you, you have to believe this, if you don't believe
this is as cool for say no, it is not cool for this jazz. It's non
essential. Right.
It doesn't make or break your Eman.
Any questions about that? There's some groups sometimes they fight
over this issue. Unfortunately, they make tuck feud. Because of
this this issue. What is the initial light of the proposition?
What is the initial creation? There's a stronger Hadith that
says the pen the first thing that Allah created this is a sound
Hadith, the first thing that Allah created was the pet the kalam and
Allah said Right, right what right
right history, right all of history. Right existence right.
Now some will try to harmonize these Hadith
and they'll say well what is the pen made out of?
The first thing that last final its Allah created in its final
functioning form is the pen but what is the constituents of the
pen? What is the pen made out of light light of the provinces
Allah? This is how they tried to some of them they want to
harmonize these Hadith
or these beliefs. Is there I saw a hand up here. Yes sir.
No, I mean, you're not taking the belief from this hadith. That
hadith is fabricated. But so many of the Allama agree in the meaning
with the meaning of the Hadith. Let's say there's a hadith that
says
that, that
Allah subhana wa Tada
created the heavens and the earth in six days. That's a true
statement.
But let's say you try to find this hadith somewhere you don't find
it, or you find that the sonnet is completely fabricated. So it's a
fabricated, but the meaning is sound. So there's other
traditions, right? It's not just this one Hadith that people are
drawing this belief from. There's there's many, many traditions that
that corroborate this belief. And the fact that many many great
orlimar consider this belief jazz is something to consider. Right?
Okay, any questions over here
and then you know, there's a, there's
a Quranic if, remember, we said, Allah who noticed some electrical
mess I don't know really.
This is an eye of the Quran. Allah subhana wa dalla is the Light of
the heavens and the earth Imams see what he says the meaning of
this is Allah is the source of all light, methadone, reheat, the
similar to that of his life that he owns. This is a different light
than the first light according to many, many commentators. This is a
light that he created. And the dominant opinion here is that this
second light mentioned here is the province of
the jack akumina logging neuron, wiki tab on wellbeing. There's
many I had like this, there is coming to you from Allah a light
and they say well, that's the Koran will keep tabs on Moby no
Kitab is the light Kitab is is the Quran. What is the newer
and many exigent say that is the prophets of Allah. So this hadith
could have been fabricated based on this pre existing belief that
the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is light and that is the first
creation so somebody wrote this hadith
this is one opinion that it's Maduro sometimes you get
differences of opinion but this seems to be the dominant opinion
called the priority of the Mohammed in light.
Alright,
moving on
okay
now, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, so called the area now is quoting
another IRA. This is 252 of Al Baqarah.
tilaka rasuluh. For Donna badDo, malleable woman, men human Callum
Allahu WaterFire What if I want a five out of the one that I got?
That we preferred some of the messengers over others.
Allah spoke directly to some of them. And he raised some of them
in rank.
So that Allah subhanho wa taala, he has his prophets at different
degrees a different ranks. We don't give them the ranks. That's
what Allah has given them. Some people like to put the ayah
because we say the provinces Salam is halal, Alakay, Allah is the
best of creation. And then sometimes we get the response, but
Allah says, Latin euphotic Kobina at the middle, so they don't make
distinctions between prophets. Yes, that's true. I'm not making a
distinction between any prophets. Allah Subhan Allah to Allah says
in the Quran, and another if it's important that we read the entire
Quran, right? Another ayah he says that he has his prophets at
different data at different degrees.
So this is an absolutely essential belief, this belief is essential
that the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is, say you do already Adam,
is the master of the children of Adam. This hadith is intuitively
the is a strong Hadith, that he's the beloved of God Habibollah is
also an intermediate there might be a slight weakness in this.
But this belief is, is is something that is found
in many, many
scholarly works of of scholars of Hadith and Quran Yamama to Howey
his creed, which is an early creed, which is considered to be
an authority, creed, in other words, he's he puts a lot of
weight on sound transmissions, Quran and strong Hadith also in
the age map of the seller, it's a less speculative creed aqidah it's
more ecumenical, it's safer, if you will, and this is how he
describes the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
He says Abdullah Al Mustafa, his chosen servant, when the EBU which
is elected Prophet, what a sunnah will mourtada, His Messenger in
whom he is well pleased. Hot Tamale NBR the seal of the
prophets what Imam will add Korea,
the leader of the righteous what's the usual more saline the master
of the messengers of God will have you
Honorable alameen and the Beloved of the Lord of the Worlds.
So this is absolutely essential
to say for example, that
that
Musa alayhis salam, or essentially Salam have the same rank with the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam. This is highly problematic.
The Prophet salallahu Salam is the best of creation. These other
prophets are obviously great.
But the prophets MACOM as the
chef here to Chef fear, the one who intercedes and the one whose
intercession is accepted. He has mahkamah Mahmoud. He has the
station of the Habib
This is without question
Okay.
Here's all the area equal to some on Monday.
Related that Kelby said that the words of Allah
when in limine, she had to hear that Ibrahim, there's a verse in
Surah, that's Safar verse 83.
That says, and from his party or from his or she,
he or she, it can be party or faction. But here it means
something more like adherence or followers, and from his followers
was equal to Him.
Now the question is,
who does the pronoun
he referred to? We're in them in Shi T. And from the followers of
him was Ibrahim. Some of the commentators say new hat, acela
from the followers of new Haile, salaam, Ibrahim, but others said,
and this has mentioned mighty mama, Tabori Imam Razi, that the
pronoun refers to the prophets of Allah, he said
that Ibrahim Ali Salam is a follower of the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, in the sense that the Prophet sallallaahu Salam has
precedence over him. Because the Prophet is Imam on mursaleen
just so happens that Ibrahim Ali Salam was sent before him in
temporality. But in reality, the MACOM of the Prophet salallahu
Salam is the highest MACOM of all the prophets.
Section Eight here, concerning Allah instructing his creation,
to say the prayer on the Prophet solomani syllabus, Salah Allen
Levy, is protecting him and removing the punishment because of
him.
While the Ariad he quotes this ayah from Surah, two and file iron
number 33.
Where Allah Subhan Allah, Allah says, Allah would never punish
them while you are among them. What am I can Allah Who do I libo
whom Enta fie him,
Allah would never punish them while you are among them.
And then he says here, meaning as long as you are in Mecca
when the Prophet left Mecca, and some of the believers were still
there, so Imam Tubridy in order to be mentioned that some of the most
menial and some of the Sahaba they were convinced by their families,
not to make higit off with the Prophet salallahu Salam. So some
of them remained in Mecca, it was difficult for them to leave Mecca.
So Allah Subhan Allah to Allah says Allah would never punish them
while you are among them.
So the Prophet leaves, there's still some believers in Mecca. So
then the very next statement, Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
Well, my con Allah who I leave a home while home, your stuff.
Allah subhanho wa Taala will not punish them, as long as they're
asking for forgiveness.
Right, such as the station of is still a farm.
That is default as the sort of Deputy of the province SLM, if you
will. When he steps away.
The profit isn't amongst you, then you better make a lot of Toba
and then the punishment more or the other will not come. This is
how to interpret the AI according to these great facility of the
Quran.
So while you have the statement here, Allah will not punish them
while you're among them and then Allah will not punish them as long
as they're making his default.
Toolbar the man Wajid if he's suffering fatigue, your military
Amity is different cathedral the prophets of Allah Islam said, Oh,
come on holiday. Salatu was Salam glad tidings to the one who finds
in his Sahifa like his scroll. On the yarmulke Yama a lot of is
different.
And the prophets of Allah he sent me said I asked my Lord 70 times a
day. And 70 is a sort of figure of speech. In Semitic languages. That
means a lot, not just 70 you count. People count to seven,
that's fine.
Fine, but it means a lot. Now why is it provinces? Who is masum
making it Stefan he can, he can deliberately disobey Allah
subhanho wa Taala he would make his default after the prayer
right? So, one of the reasons the reason why he's making a stiff arm
is because that he failed to praise Allah as Allah praises
himself and he was overheard saying this in such day by ASHA
Subhana Allah
attic intercom athlete to Allah Neff sick that glory be to you How
can I praise you as you have praised yourself?
This is why he's making a stiff lot
why do we make is default
for different reasons for that reason also, but many many other
different reasons.
So this is the reason why is it also to teach us the provinces set
them as an island.
So he's teaching us how what is proper adapt what is good herbal
do what do means, like, like slave hood, but it really has to do with
my character I dub with Allah, good Adam with Allah.
Right?
So he says,
and then he quotes this first he moves around here he goes to sort
of 48 as verse 25.
And this first needs some
context, but he quotes it here.
Had they been clearly distinguished,
then we would have punished the unbelievers among them with a
painful punishment.
He says in the same idea, if it had if it had not been for certain
men and women believers, whom you did not know. So the context of
this verse, verse 25, of Sula, verse 48, according to Porter to
be in poverty and and why it is that when the Prophet sallallahu
sallam was that who they be, with the Sahaba 30 of the machete King
attempted to surprise attack them
and kill them. And they were caught by the Prophet sallallahu
sending them but he released them.
So this was obviously reason enough for the Muslims to attack
the city militarily. Apparently, some of the Muslims wanted to
attack. I mean, they tried to massacre the Muslims.
But Allah says here, if the Muslims from Medina had
retaliated,
then they would have accidentally killed some of the believers in
Mecca. People they didn't even know we're believers, because I've
never met them that Dawa continues in Mecca. While the prophet is in
Medina for years, people are still making shahada in Mecca because
there's still Sahaba living in Mecca
and many of them were hiding their faith because it was dangerous to
come out and say I'm muslim in public you can be tortured and
killed and
you know, cut off from your family and these types of things.
So it's a bit dangerous
when the believers immigrated, it was revealed while mana home Allah
you either people whom Allah
but what can you what what do you have now that Allah should not
punish you so called the or yet he says here these I at present were
the clearest demonstrations of the Prophet exalted position, the
punishment was averted from the people of Mecca, firstly, because
of his presence,
and then because of the presence of Sahaba, after him, making his
default,
when none of the Sahaba were left in Mecca, eventually they all make
it all.
Allah punished the Meccans by giving the believers power and
victory over them, he made their swords rule over them, and the
Muslims inherited their land, their homes and their property.
So this is a reference now to the bloodless conquest of Mecca and
eight Hijiri.
And he says you're Allah punish them, but the Prophet salallahu
Salam, and it's true as a form of punishment. But the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam really honored the Meccans, even while taking
their city. And he's well within his rights, to just take everyone
out all the men, and that's an accepted war practice. No one
would have faulted him for that.
You know, when he was coming into the city, a companion him sadly
been Obeida, who had a lot of zeal. He's holding the standard of
the Muslims. And he was shouting at the Meccans Allah Yo Ma, Yeoman
Mahama. above the level coloration today is the day of slaughter, the
debasement of the Quraysh and he was shouting this over and over
again. That blue Sophia had already converted. But this was
his people. He was a leader of the Meccans. So he was he was afraid
what's going to happen here? It comes as these
Muslims coming into the city.
So the Prophet sallallaahu Salam heard that this is what sad was
saying. Somebody told him relayed the message to him. And he said,
Go tell them not to say that and take the standard from him. So
everyone knows that I don't agree with this statement.
So they go too sad. And they say, give us a standard. Why the
Prophet is saying is I don't believe you would even give give
up the standard. So they went back to the Prophet sallallaahu Salam,
he said, He's not giving it up. And the Prophet took his blessing
a mama off, is a present is too sad, and take the standard from
him, but give the standard to his son, ice. This is for the wisdom
of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam because he knew it would be
hurtful, right to be disciplined in a sense by the provinces and
them, but by giving the standard to his sad son, he's still
honoring sad, it's still his son.
So then the Prophet salallahu Salam, he passes by Abu Sufian and
he says Allah Yo Ma, yo, Mona Mara Hama,
your Azula operation. Today is a day just slightly altered the
statement of sad. Today is a day of mercy, the exultation of the
forage, the exultation of the forage, man dalla beta Abby
Soufiane Takata airman,
and he said his name, he said, Whoever enters into the house are
under the protection of Abu Sophia and that person is safe. This was
their recognized leader.
Right? Notice he didn't say whoever enters into my house with
a house of Omar, Abu Bakar. Some know your leaders, Abu Soufiane if
he gives you protection, you're fine. This is how, you know he
says here that a lot punish the Meccans it is a form of
punishment. Because the prophesy isms I'm taking the city but in
reality, right? It's a sign of, of ESA for the corporation.
Any questions on that?
Some of these Christian polemicists, they write things
like that. They say that they insult the provinces them or they
critique him and say that because the Prophet salallahu Salam
engaged in military actions, he can't be a true prophet, which is
completely ridiculous. Because according to their own book, in
Exodus 33, when, according to their book, when Musa alayhis
salam descended the mountain, and he saw people worshipping the
calf, he ordered the Levites to slaughter 3000 men in one day.
He actually says go kill your neighbor, your brother, your
family member. If you look at all of those, a lot of the province
they sent him all of his military expeditions, there were 1018
deaths, according to Al Hasan another week, and 23 years 700,
Lucia Canaan about 400 Sahaba and these are all on the battlefield.
These are all warriors on the battlefield. There are no innocent
civilians being targeted here. Right 1018 And 23 years, and most
of the time in the province. They said I would go out for a military
expedition the enemy would see him and run away because Allah will
put terror into their hearts.
Row are few glooby him
but 1018 3000 men are killed by Musala Islam in the Torah.
According to the Torah 3000 men fell in one day, but he's a true
prophet. The Prophet says Cena is not is not a prophet because he
engaged in military is total hypocrisy is a double standard.
When you say he had he polygamous relationships he had more than one
wife.
Okay, then he is slightly who's a slightly yaku he has 12 sons from
four different women two of them are concubines. Are those
legitimate children? A silent cinema is a descendant of one of
these women.
Is he legitimately
their god at Saturday's
total double standard is quite ridiculous yes
one person nom
nom obey been Aleph will be even colorful in the province. Islam
was in Mecca.
He passed by a baby in color.
And he was like brushing his horse.
And so he looked at the Prophet, he said, you know why I'm doing
this for my horse? Why? And he said, I'm going to use this horse
one day and kill you while I'm writing it.
And the Prophet said, Perhaps I'll kill you.
This was the buzzword offered the prophecies and I was struck on the
side of his face by a man named Abdullah ibn Abu Sheikh. He struck
him on the side of the face, and some of the chainmail penetrated
into the cheek. Right. So he pulled it out and it was blood
flowing down his face. And then he noticed that Hubei been hulufish
Charging toward
attempt.
So the Syrah says the Prophet grabbed a spear, a spear, and like
shook off like 10 men off of him.
So he shook them off like they were flies. And then he barely
tapped him on the neck right here is like it like a tap.
Because the point isn't to be intention as important.
Just tapped him on the neck and then and then obey Ben caleffi
went back to the the machine and he said he's killed me. He's
killed me. He's killed me. And he said, what's wrong? He said, Look,
he said, This is just a scratch. They said, No, he's he told me he
was going to kill me.
And then there's a report that says that he got he went insane
and his horse jumped off the cliff. Another report that says it
festered, and it
got infected, and he died from that. But this was the only man
will baby.
Like it was a big shape time.
He's funding was Mr. De Lune. We talked about the Mr. Haziran.
These are the worst type of kuffaar who mock and ridicule the
province, so don't just disbelieve in Him, they mock and ridicule.
So they'll say something like, oh, this he killed a man before he
can. This isn't a battlefield. There's a prophet in the Old
Testament. I mentioned this a lot. His name is Alicia. This is a
prophet that Christians believe is a prophet Elisha, is he mentioned
in the Quran? Probably not. Allahu Allah, maybe Alia side, but I
don't I don't know. But Alicia is a prophet in the Old Testament.
This is what he did. He's walking down the street.
And some, some kids begin following him. Small boys, it
says, And they start making fun of his bald spot. This is a story in
the Bible.
They start making fun of his bald spot.
And then this prophet gets so offended
that he prays to the Lord. And these two bears come out of the
wilderness, and they rip apart 42 young boys.
This person is a prophet, according to the Christians and
Jews. But the prophecy has set them on the field of battle,
tapping a man on the neck. And that men dying on the field of
battle defending his city. Oh, he's not a prophet, because he
killed someone on the battlefield.
Double standard
prophets have to defend their cities.
Anyway,
these are things that they don't teach you in Sunday school.
Even in seminary, they don't teach you these things. I attended,
basically a Christian seminary. I have a master's in Biblical
studies. So I took all these classes in the Bible, they don't
teach these things.
You'll get some other stuff.
These are things you have to get
by personal study.
Anyway.
See, we're doing
there was a question from last week and follow out. I have to
look at the source of it. It's about the root Yeah, in a
statement of our mother Asia, I'll give the answer next week control
the eye he says your call the area continuing
is interpreted by Abu Musa.
I'm guessing when was the last Friday that the messenger of allah
sallallahu sallam said, Allah sent down on me too sure, a tease for
my surety is like a guarantee to guarantees what's the first
guarantee? Allah would not punish the OMA the promises alum while he
is among them. The second guarantee Allah will not punish
them, as long as they're asking for forgiveness.
And he says this harks back to the words of Allah. Well, my
understanding NECA Illa Rahmatullah Alameen or is this
again? Where's this verse?
Man,
good at NBN verse
107 21 107 21 wanna
burn it into your brain?
21 one also,
the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, I am a surety for my
companions. This is a Hadith in Muslim.
Some say that this means against innovations like the DA. Others
say it means against like disagreement and disorder. One of
the men of knowledge say this is what Claudia Yad is saying. One of
the men of knowledge say the messenger was the greatest surety
while he was alive and he's present as long as his sunnah is
present.
When his sunnah dies out, then explict then expect Musa and fitna
affliction and disorder.
What is the Sunnah, the authenticated normative ethos and
practice of the Prophet sallallahu.
The agreed upon prophetic precedent sunnah does not mean
Hadith sunnah is drawn from Hadith, but there's different
grades of Hadith. A sunnah is the authenticated ethos of the Prophet
sallallahu sallam.
So this is according to cloudier yet. This is seems to be his The
final thing he says on this idea that when it says my can Allah Who
You Are the Bahama Enta fie him Allah will not punish them as long
as you are among them or in them meaning the Sunnah is within us.
As long as the Sunnah is within us, it is as if the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam is among us
in Medina, Baba hurry been for so your odo Komaba we know this
hadith that's the first part of the Hadith that we hear quoted all
the time. There really this religion began as something
strange, and it's going to become strange again to be a little Hora
glad tidings to the strangers and then he describes the strangers
well whom one levena Usili who not my upset that NASA mean bad even
so nutty?
Who are the strangers those who set a right or correct what
humanity corrupted after me from my sadhana
a lot of people today they're doing things and saying, I found
this hadith This is Quran this so now this is that son
so I think can be so naughty. This is a this is a way of really, in
Arabic really emphasizing I like him as soon as I exhort you to
follow my sunnah was so natural hola Farage, she didn't matter the
game and the Rightly Guided caliphs, the Sunnah of the rightly
guided Caylus.
And then so who are the rightly guided calyx, they're actually
five of them. You won't see it says five of them.
So we've got your city say no Armada with mine it and Imam
Hassan was a tailor for six months, which makes 30 years
according to the Hadith, before he abdicated to Malawi.
To follow the Sunnah, my son and the son of the Rightly Guided
caliphs, and then he says to miss Saku Beihai Well, I do I lay had
been no Ajith very sort of dramatic, like hold on to it with
every ounce of your being in bite into it with your molar teeth.
That's how hard you should hold on to the to the Sunnah
is how do you think Timothy? Let me let me not find one of you
reclining on his couch
when a command I ordered or a prohibition from me comes to him
and he says Did he I don't know. My what just Nephi tabula it's
about it's about now. I don't know whatever we whatever we find in
the book of God, that's what we follow.
I don't know about the Sunnah. I don't know. I don't know.
Is it let me not find one of you say that?
What is the Sunnah? Who knows who wrote the Sunnah? Who knows? In
the Quran? Allah subhanho wa Taala guarantees that the Sunnah is
going to be preserved. If we believe in the Quran,
because Allah says follow the messenger look like cannula Kuvira
so the lie was what when Hassan Why would Allah say that? Follow
the messenger is a beautiful example if we can't get to the
real sunnah.
How do you know it's a no, this is my uncle says this, my cousin says
that.
Well, you have to sit with our lemma and discover the true sunnah
because it's something real.
A lot of people claim to know sunnah
to have the Sunnah, but it's important for us to be with the
majority
right your life oppa
the other law he manager Ma
is the Hadith that the inherit Solomonic wheel and they say that
yada yada law means the protection of God is what the majority
right stick with the majority
All right.
So then he quotes this is this famous IRA, which you should also
know 3356 In Allaha, WA Mala Iike who is Aluna Allen Levy.
Yeah, even at the nominal sodwana He also named
Allah and His angels.
He says pray blessing on the Prophet. O believers pray, pray
blessing on him and pray for peace on him.
So called the yard he says here the prayer of the angel
Is and humanity is supplication is a dua for the prophet
or supplicating for the promises of them.
Ultimately, the supplication is for our own benefit. Our dua does
not benefit the prophets of the Valley Center. It's for our own
benefit, ultimately.
And he says this explicitly in a hadith and Sunnah Allah Wahida
sallallahu alayhi eyeshadow, whoever sends benedictions at
peace upon me, a salon and at one time, Allah sends blessings of
peace upon that person 10 times.
But what does it mean in the law?
You suddenly what does it mean that Allah preys upon the Prophet,
or eulogizes the Prophet, or sends blessings of peace upon the
Prophet? It means that Allah subhanaw taala is giving him
additional mercy.
So when we do it, it's supplication that really benefits
us. When Allah does it. It's additional mercy to the profits of
the bison which again benefits us
because that affects the Ummah, the state of the OMA
one of the commentators said that the interpretation of the letters,
calf hat yeah ain't saw that this is the first ayat of surah Maryam.
This is for those who rueful multipath that that
these disjointed letters that nobody really knows what they
mean.
But alas, many of the or they might have their opinions or low
item.
So Claudia you already mentioned
one of them said calf refers to a lot being enough Keifa for the
Prophet
then he quotes the idea at least Allah who be Catherine Abacha is
not Allah enough for his slave
ha refers to His guidance he Daya as in the words
yeah DECA Yeah Do you like a lot? Yeah. Do you see a lotta Mr. tema
do? Yeah, yeah, it's
sort of reverse number two, He will guide you to a straight path.
A yacht refers to
support.
A Yoda can be Nasri a yada
yada. Here's the sort of prominent letter. He will support you with
help that he refers to as SMA Well, LA who yeah see MOOC I mean
that Nas Allah will protect you from people. And the sod refers to
Salah in Allah wa Malaika to you saloon Island, maybe
it's Cafe insaan.
Allahu
Allah says if you support one another against him, Allah is his
MO LA and Gibreel and the right acting believers Mola here means
protector. The right acting believers saw the ultimate meaning
are said to be the prophets. There's also said that it should
be taken literally as meeting all the believers.
Any questions about that's the end of Section Eight.
Section nine, all the or yard he quotes the first 10 verses
of Surah total fat. This is sort of 48
So I'll just quote some of it here.
Allah says We have given you a clear victory for Tamil Bina the
Allama freak may forgive you, your former and latter wrong actions
and complete his blessing upon you and guide you to the straight
path. And Allah might help you with a mighty victory.
It is He who sent down the Sakina into the hearts of the believers,
that they might add belief, to their belief.
To Allah belong the legions of the heavens and the earth. Allah is
Knowing and wise,
and that he might admit the believing men and women into
Gardens underneath which rivers flow remaining there forever and
equip them of their evil deeds.
That is a mighty victory with Allah
and that he might punish the men and women hypocrites, the men and
women idolaters and those who think badly of Allah and evil turn
of Fortune against them. A lot is angry with them and as curse them
and prepare Jahannam for them and evil return to a lobby lung, the
legions of the heavens and the earth Allah is Mighty wise indeed.
We have sent you as a witness a bearer of glad news and a warner
so that you the people will believe in Allah and His messenger
and help him and respect Him and glorify His praise. Morning and
evening. Those who pledge allegiance to you actually pledge
allegiance to Allah. Yeah, the live folk ad him
Allah's hand is over their hands.
So, here's a long commentator coming, Terry here.
But he says here when a law says, Well, you Tim, not me, I'm not to
who I Laker and complete his blessing upon you.
It is said that this is by abasing, those who show arrogance
towards the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and it is said that he
means the conquest of Mecca and thought if
it is said that he means by elevating your renown in this
world, helping you and forgiving you.
Allah is telling him that the completion of his blessing upon
him, lies in the basement of his haughty enemies, opening up the
most important and Best Beloved of towns, elevating his renown and
guiding him to the straight path, which leads to the garden.
And then he says in notice on NECA Shahidan, what were what she ran
when I do it on. So these are again, some Nikita, these are all
indefinite nouns I talked about the sort of rhetorical input of
that
first week, in DVS, sent us a witness, a bearer of glass of good
news and as a Warner, he says, a lot numerate some of the prophets,
good qualities and special characteristics.
And then he says, help him and respect him,
which is zero who want to walk through who it is said that they,
it is said that they will go to great lengths to esteem Him. The
most common and clear statement about this is that it refers to
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, they help and respect the Prophet.
And then right after that, it says, Well, you set Bihu Cretan,
WA sila, and they glorify His praise. Morning and evening,
referring to Allah subhana wa Tada.
He'd been at auto he said, This surah contains various blessings
for the Prophet, that clear victory which is a sign of being
answered forgiveness, which is a sign of love, completed blessing
which is a sign of election and guidance, which is a sign of
Wilaya friendship, forgiveness consistent being freed from
faults. The completed blessing is to attain to the degree of
perfection guidance is a summons to witnessing.
Jafar even Mohammed said, part of his completed blessing to him is
that he made him his beloved.
So there's a verse in the Quran I told him to you can call in
Khartoum, to Hebron Allah said to be earning your bid qumola. While
y'all if you're looking with the Nova, say, if you really love
Allah, follow me, then Allah will love you and forgive you your
sins. So the MSA by following if by following the prophets I send
them Anyone can become beloved of Allah. That How Much Does Allah
love the prophets of Allah said a lot he said them anyone can be
beloved, by just following the Prophet how much is Allah love the
Prophet
and he says, swore by his life and but I'm Luca
abrogated other Shetty by him, raised them to the highest place
protected him in the Mirage so that his I did not swerve nor
sweep aside, masa, la bussola, my Taha sent him to all mankind made
war booty lawful for his community. He also made him an
accepted intercessor and master of descendants of Adam. He coupled
this he coupled his name with his name, and his pleasure with his
pleasure, he made him one of the two pillars of Tawheed
this is all the commentary of Jafar even more haven't
thought of saw
all sorts of fat. A lovin says those who pledge allegiance to
you, those who make Baotou you actually pledge allegiance to
Allah.
The Tafseer says this is a reference to what's known as they
actually read the one at her day via
a pledge allegiance to a lot when they pledge allegiance to you.
So at her day via the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he sent Satan
Earth man to negotiate with the Meccans then he received a false
report that Earth man had been killed.
So he sat under a tree and took pledges of allegiance from the
Companions, even confused or to be say, The pledge was that they
would fight with the Prophet until death
will enter your child
Hello
spin off will not have him on the lawsuit Mohammed didn't want to
add he was such a huge marine Subhanak Allah and Milena Illuma
Adam Turner in the candle animate Hakim Hola Hola, La Quwata illa
biLlah Ali LABOUM
Allahu Akbar
Allah we are
so we are in the middle of part one, chapter one, section nine for
those following in the translation.
Just to back up a little bit a little bit of review here just to
give you some context
of the area that Rahim Allah Allah. He quoted from the first
10 verses of Surah number 48. And that's
and he's commenting upon the descriptions of the prophets of
the body send them in these 10 ayat
and he's quoting from the aroma as well obviously
just to repeat here what we said last week Jafar even tell him that
he said part of his completed blessing so this is a reference to
the idea
well you Tim money I meant to I like any any completed his
blessing upon you. Part of his completed blessing to him is that
he made him that Allah made the prophets Allah Lottie sent him His
Habib, beloved,
recorded the Ayatollah empty Han last time verse 31 of the Emraan
swore by his life that I'm Maruca Allah Subhana Allah to Allah takes
an oath by the life of the prophet Sallallahu Sallam in the Quran.
abrogated other shadows by him. So the shitty eye of the Prophet
salallahu Salam is the final sacred law that abrogates
everything that came before it It confirms the major components and
aspects of it obviously.
But as good for all time until the end of time.
raised him to the highest place Allah subhana wa Tada says What a
fine I like Vic rock. We raised your remembrance also raised them
physically in the
later two is Surah El Mirage protected him in the middle Raj.
So that is I did not swerve nor sweep aside mazagan Basu amatola
As Allah subhanaw taala says, in sort of najem many of the MSA This
is one of the prophets of Allah. The Sena experience though wrote,
yeah, the beautiful vision when he when he gazed upon the countenance
of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And there's some difference of opinion about that.
sent him to all mankind, he's going to quote these ayat later
and made booty lawfull your booty means aneema war booty for his
community.
You he also made him an accepted intercessor.
Chef here Shafi Allah,
and the master of the descendants of Adam, which is a reference to
the Hadith and TEDMED the NSC to whether the Adam Allah fahara that
we quoted earlier that he quoted earlier.
He coupled his name with his own name,
here and like in the Avant, in the coma, in the shahada, and his
pleasure with his pleasure seems to be a reference to the verse in
the Quran will la hora Sula, who are Harco and Yoda Lu who, Allah
and His Messenger it is more befitting that you please them.
Meaning pleasing, pleasing the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is the
same as pleasing. Allah subhanho wa taala. Their pleasure is the
same. He made him one of the two pillars of Tawheed. Again, a
reference to the shahada when we say the shahada, la de la, la la
so la de la ha, that's a that's atheism, there is no God illa
Allah. This is no
theism belief in God or could be even construed as a type of deism
that there is a God he's a creator, but he's not necessarily
a personal God. So this is more of sort of a Aristotelian photonic a
god but then Muhammad Rasul Allah, this is theism This is now God.
This God is now personal.
By sending by,
by by sending human messengers to mankind for their guidance and
revealing scriptures.
A lot of them continues. Those who pledge allegiance to you make
Baotou you actually pledge allegiance to
While low,
meaning in the Pledge of red once we mentioned this, they actually
read the one right at her day BIA that the Prophet salallahu Salam,
he sent
Earthman to negotiate with the Meccans then a false report and
reached him. That Earth man had been murdered by them which should
have been. And so the Prophet saw a lot he said them.
You sat under a tree and took pledges of allegiance
from the companions. And this is where he left off last time that
he'd been cathedra and Imam are called to be. They say that the
pledge was that they would fight with the Prophet sallallaahu salam
until death, they were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for
the sake of Deen.
And
here even Ijebu says the next statement in the Quran contains
the greatest praise of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam in the entire
Quran.
So when Allah Subhan Allah to Allah says yeah the law he yadda
Allah He focal ad him,
that the yard, which is sometimes translated as hand, a hand of God
is over their hands.
They pledge allegiance to Allah when they pledge allegiance to you
to the prophets of the Lord, he said them.
So are they are you had he says here this metaphorically refers to
the power of Allah. So this is known as one of the I act with the
shabby hat. There are certain verses in the Quran that are
anthropomorphic. Right.
These Ayat must be anchored theologically, in transcendence in
10, Z, in order for us to understand them properly.
And the theological anchor of the Koran is sort of 42 Verse 11.
So when Allah subhanho wa Taala says LASIK admittedly he shaved on
well who was semi or last year. There is nothing like the likes of
God. While he is all a hearing and all seeing there's nothing like
Allah subhanaw taala whatsoever. So the yard of Allah has nothing
to do whatsoever with a created or human hand.
Right? Has nothing to do whatsoever Lisa can literally show
you and there's nothing like him whatsoever. Mata Mata so water to
be valid for Allahu Allah you should be who that ik that
whatever the human imagination can possibly imagine Allah subhanho wa
Taala is completely different than that.
So the practice of the early Muslims called the self, like the
Sahaba, and the few generations after them, is to just consign the
meaning of these atma to shabby hat to Allah subhana wa Tada. So
they wouldn't.
They wouldn't interpret these ayat. They would simply consign
the meaning to Allah, they would say that this means whatever is
whatever Allah intends it to mean whatever is appropriate, to his
greatness and majesty, LASIK admittedly he shaped one. There's
nothing like Allah whatsoever.
You wouldn't attempt to interpret the ayat.
Later scholars from the Honnef the later generations they would
actually interpret these ayat because now there's a need.
Because now you have deviant groups taking these ayat in
teaching
deviant theology saying things like Allah subhana wa Tada has a
physical hand he has physical fingers, he's located in the
physical space, things like this. So this provoked the aroma of a
Sunnah wal Jamaah to begin to interpret these ayat so they would
make we'll just tough we'd tough we it means that they would
consign the meanings to God, tough for you, but with a bog. And then
we'll, we'll means that they would interpret the ayat but still in
the light of God's transcendence, right. So they would say that,
that the first is kind of a three step process. The first step is to
detach any type of any any notion of physicality, to Allah subhana
what data and then they interpret it and say, yeah, the law means
the power of protection of God. And then they affirm transcendence
and affirm that Allah knows, Allah only knows. Lisa can make the he
che che one will know who Adam,
right? So this is what he's doing here. This metaphorically refers
to the power of Allah. Yeah, don't love or the protection of God,
there's a hadith that says yes to Allah, He, fo you have to love him
algebra, or algebra and another require that the end of Allah is
with the majority.
And I must say the meaning of this, those who make it we'll have
the Hadith, the meaning of this is that, that Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah protection is with the majority.
So he says
So this metaphor refers the power of Allah His reward his favor or
his contract and strengthens the act of their pledging allegiance
to him and exalts the one to whom the allegiance is given.
Okay, these words of Allah are similar to and then he quotes here
from sutra and fall, you did not kill them and this is in the
plural This is a reference to the Battle of butter. So it's
addressed to the Sahaba
as to what they did on the battlefield, you did not kill them
but Allah killed them. And now the next sentence is in the singular
address the specific specifically to the prophets Allah Lottie send
them you did not throw in you through but Allah through.
So this was a reference to an incident of the Battle of butter
with the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
He picked up some, some pebbles and he just sort of threw them in
the direction of the machete keen.
So Allah says, You did not throw when you threw but Allah through
all of the actions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam have tofield
they're all according to the red one, the good pleasure of Allah
subhanho wa taala. All of his actions are guided. He's in a
state of union with Allah's Ridwan,
even audible, he points out something interesting here. He
says that in this statement, there's an explicit negation
followed by an explicit affirmation. You did not throw
when you threw. Right? Well, Mara Mehta, is Ramita.
So he says that this demonstrates both Allah's transcendence, as
well as His nearness to the Prophet sallallaahu Salam, that
the Prophet sallallaahu Salam, or anything in creation, for that
matter is not Allah. Yet the prophets action was in reality,
Allah's action.
Allah is a doer of every action, how Allah will that action, he
created that action, and he was pleased with that action.
So the Prophet salallahu Salam is a means by which Allah carries out
his well pleasing will in the world. So these are these are
very, very exalted ayat that Allah subhanho wa Taala
is is pronouncing here with respect to the Prophet salallahu
Salam demonstrating a very close exalted State of Union that he has
with the Prophet salallahu Salam, not Union on the level of essence
or ontology, right. That's the Christian position with regards to
or II Silius. And this is a problematic dangerous position to
have. It's not according to our sound Arcada
Okay,
so then he says, however, whereas the former is metaphorical, so
he's talking about here, yeah, the lovely folk add him that's
metaphorical, as he says much as figurative. The latter is literal,
you did not throw when you threw but a law through its literal
truth. Since the In the latter case, the killer in the thrower
was in reality Allah He was the creator of the prophets action is
throwing his power to do it and his decision to do it. No man has
the power to throw. And then here, he mentioned something that Imam
Razi also mentions that the Prophet salallahu Salam, he took
the pebbles and he just kind of lobbed them in the direction of
the machine, the machine are very far off. But somehow miraculously,
dust a dust particle was able to infiltrate the eyes of every
single one of them, which should be keen.
So remember, Ozzy mentioned that this was in reality, a rare
occurrence of natural law. Right so it's not natural for a human
being to be able to do that. Automated either automated well it
kin Allah Rama, Allah through
*, okay, that's the end of the section nine. This is the last
section of chapter one part one.
How Allah in His mighty book demonstrates the honor in which he
holds him solo LaLiga them and his position with him and other things
which Allah gave him.
So he says some of this is contained in a law says about the
night journey in the suit of the same name, and sort of entitled
The star and legend which refer directly to his incomparable
station and nearness to Allah. And the wonders he witnessed. A
further demonstration is a fact that he is protected the prophets
of Allah he said it's protected from people. So here he quotes
Allah subhanaw taala similar to Matt ADA verse 67, Allahu yatse
muka Amina NAS, and Allah protects you from the people
So in fact, 1213 or so assassination attempts were made
on the Prophet salallahu Salam.
And when this idea was revealed, according to the mythos 16 The
Prophet sallallahu sallam was on a journey, and he came out of his
tent and he dismissed all of his guards. Because Allah told him
Allahu ASIMO Kameena Ness, Allah protects you from the people.
When those who are when and also he quotes when those who reject
we're plotting against you to confine you or kill you or expel
you. And we're plotting and Allah was plotting. Right, so the sort
of last straw or the last stand, I guess, you could say for the
machine to Kenan Mecca. They met at the Donald midwall, which is
like their city council. This is after the death of Abu Talib, who
seat is now vacant. Some of the books in the series say that there
was a man sitting in his seat who was dressed in black he was sort
of hooded,
and this man said, Let's just kill him. Let's just kill the Prophet.
Right.
And then Apple, Jehovah said, that's a good idea. So he, he
hired one youth from every clan to stand by the stand outside the
house of the prophets, Allah Lottie, so of course, the other
must say that
the chef that was there dressed in black was shaytaan, an incarnation
of the shaytaan.
So they stood by the House of the Prophet salallahu Salam, in order
to kill him.
He's gonna mention that in a minute here. And then he quotes
this verse from Surah Toba
in Latin Zulu who forgot to know Surah hola if you if you do not
help him, yet Allah has helped him.
So he says Allah averted the harm of his enemies from him and they
conferred secretly about him and plotted to kill him.
He took their side away when the Prophet went out past to them. So
the assassins he's referring to the story mentioned in the Sierra
that the assassins were outside of his door, say that he was in the
house and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told him to lie down in his
bed. The prophets of the open the door and walked right past the
assassins was reciting Yacine at the time.
For other Shana whom for whom Allah you epsilon
that we we veiled them, so that they do not see.
And then he caused them not to look at him in the cave.
So this is mentioned in our tradition, that the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam was in the cave during the Hijra with Abu Bakr
Siddiq
and ALLAH SubhanA wa Allah says, in Houma, invati, the quarterly
Sahibi de la taxon in Aloha Marina. So Volker Cydia. He had
some fear and trepidation, not for himself, but for his socket for
the Prophet salallahu Salam, his companion.
So there was a man standing right at the entrance of the cave, and
they can see him in Abu Bakar said, If this man would just look
at his feet, he will see us.
So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he said led to us and he said
don't be afraid in Allah mana. Allah is with us.
Allah subhanho wa Taala is the creator of all actions. He's the
winner of all actions Allah did not will this man to simply move
his eyeballs down and look at them laws in control of everything.
And then, the AI continues. This is Sudha Toba verse 40. So Anzahl
Allahu Sakina. To who Allah He, then Allah subhanho wa Taala sent
down His Sakina is peace is tranquility upon him. Imam Arrazi
suggests that the pronoun here I lay he is a reference to Abu Bakar
that tranquility was sent down upon Abu Bakar. But then the next
statement why yet the who be Junu done, and he helped him. Now the
pronoun is the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he helped him with the
Jews who would hosts or armies
supporters that you did not see.
Or they say both of the pronouns refer to the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam.
Then Allah subhana wa has mentioned in the in the Sierra as
well that a spider had spun its web at the mouth of the cave,
there was a dove building its nest,
that these are the part of the Junoon these are the soldiers of
Allah subhanaw taala protecting his hobby, something as flimsy as
a spider's web. Right, is protecting the Prophet sallallahu
Sena demonstrating that ALLAH SubhanA wa that these things are
easy for Allah subhanho wa Taala to do.
And then he says the science connected with that this Akina
tranquillity which was sent down on him and the story of Surah club
and Malik
They are all mentioned by the people of Hadith and Sira in
connection with the story of the cave and the Hijra of the prophets
of Allah, He sent them to Madina, Munawwara. So So Robin Malik, he
mentioned a very famous story, when the Prophet sallallahu sallam
was leaving Mecca with Abubaker Cydia, the Meccans, they put a
bounty on him 100 New 100 sheep camels that are alive. So this man
stood up and Malik, who was a master tracker.
He was able to find them very quickly in the desert, just
following the tracks. And he said, I looked and I saw one of them. He
was sitting on his conveyance, and his hands were up like this. And
he was saying something to the heavens. And then the other one
was doing circles around him and he kept looking back at me.
So he said, I charge and suddenly I fell from my horse, and I've
never fallen. So it gets back on and he charges again, he falls a
second time he falls a third time and now he's within earshot of the
two men.
So then,
the Prophet salallahu Salam engages him in a conversation this
is why have you come and he says, I've come for 100 camels? Can you
give me something better?
And the problem is that yes, I can give you something better. And he
says Keifa either k for BKT Bella Vista, seawater Kisara how will it
be for you when you wear the bangles, the bracelets of Kisara?
Of course Serato and Matic is just just a simple man. So who's
Kisara?
And he said, Kisara is medical Ferris is the king of Persia.
King of Persia. So he knew the Prophet salallahu Salam is a
SonicWALL. I mean, he's not going to lie. There's no this is out of
the question that he would lie.
So he said, Can you write it down for me? So he said to Abu Bakar to
write this down. So he took a little Sahifa and they wrote down
and uncertain such a day, the Prophet saw the lies and promises
will not have the son of Malik that he's going to wear the
bracelets is sweet see water kiss, see water Kisara.
And as the story goes,
he goes back to Mecca and Meccans probably made fun of him. Right.
But then years later, the Prophet sallallaahu Salam passes Abu Bakr
Siddiq is Caleb, he passes say Naramata is now the Calif and the
Muslims they conquer Persia, the Battle of qadisiya
under side even Obi Wan cos and there's an EMA of Persia is in the
masjid in Medina, the treasures of of Persia and the bangles of
Kisara are there and by this time to rock up and Malik has converted
to Islam, and he's a he's a companion and he's in he's in
Medina. So Satan Omar, he has the cipher. So he calls up sawed off
and Malik to the front and he reads it off. And then he places
the bangles on the arms of sawed off I've been Malik
in the crowd is shouting Sadaqa Rasulullah sadaqa rasool Allah.
So this is what he's referring to here. So wrap up in Malik, the
famous story.
A lot also says, We gave you co founder
in Kolkata, so pray to your Lord to sacrifice the one who hates
you, he's the one who's cut off. So let him co thought only three
ayat. Allah told him about what he had given him. COFA is from kufra
it's an emphatic noun. So I've co thought it's the only occurrence
of the word and the entire Quran.
So, you have to go to the Hadith to understand the word co thought
is said to refer to his basin according to the
multiplicity in the hold of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
which most to say is after the slot just outside
Jenna, it is also said that it is a non essential agenda that is a
river actually engender.
Abundance they also said it means different co thought it means just
abundance, a lot of abundance, abundance and abundance.
cathedra means a lot but co thought is emphatic, a lot of
abundance. So it can also mean the chef ah the Mirage is that the
Naboo the Marisa different things, then Allah replied to his enemies
for him, and refuted what they had said by the words in the Shani aka
Hua laptop. The one who hates you, he's cut off meaning your enemy
and the one who despises you cut off means poor uh, based or left
all alone, or one with no good in him at all, or even something like
forgotten to history maligned throughout history.
And of course, one of the meanings of CO thought also is referenced
To isolate of Fatima Zahra
and this has mentioned this is usually because she's the founder
of the eyelid bait right.
This is usually mentioned by Shiite before studying like you
mama Tbilisi mentions this and many other Shiite will facility
but some Sunnis also mentioned it as well and when it works well
with the, with the context because the SPAB and Missoula, the Sunnah
is that this Mushrik named Allah Azza wa ala was making fun of the
prophets of the body send them because the prophets male children
died in infancy. So he said, you're cut off your your project
is done. No one's going to remember you after you die.
That's what he's telling the prophets a lot. He said, What a
fine electronic rock.
The man who's a who's whose name is the most popular name in the
world. Right? The man whose name is being extolled 24/7 every day
until the yo monthly AMA, somebody is saying the shahada right now
somebody's pronouncing the Athan. And they're using his actual name
because people say, Well, you can say the same thing about a Saudi
setup. But there's some people saying your Isa, there's some
people saying yes, you are. There's some people saying EA
Sue's, there's some people saying Jesus, they're using different
names, but everyone is saying Mohammed is the same name.
So then this person says no one's gonna remember you when you die.
Right? So Allah Subhana Allah, Allah says, we've given you Kota.
So the order must say, one of the meanings of Kota is Fatima Zahra.
The added date comes from her and this is from the facade is they
mentioned this in the other class, I think, or maybe you mentioned it
here, that from the facades of the Prophet salallahu salam from the
special qualities of the Prophet salallahu Salam is that his act in
bed comes from his daughter. Say now Ali is not his son at a date
starts with his daughter and she obviously she's married to say 90
Okay.
And you know, volumes have been written on just as suricata.
Then Allah says, We have given you the seven Muthoni this is what he
quotes next this is from surah to Headjam is 87
or Lukka, attained NACA Saba Amin al my fanny while Quran Allah
alim. We have given you the seven Bafana Bafana means something
that's repeated.
And the immense Quran it is said that the my fanny are the first
long sutras
and that the immense Quran refers to the molar Quran Omar Quran
meaning al Fatiha.
So this is mentioned by email somebody was a machete they
mentioned that, that the mfine the seven Muthoni refer to the first
seven long Sutras of the Quran. That's one opinion. It is also
said that the seven my fanny are themselves The Omen phoron al
Fatiha
and that the immense Quran means the rest of the Quran and this is
also mentioned that you mama Tubridy is the machete even at
Jeeva Imam Razi actually mentioned a Hadith of the Prophet salallahu
Salam
in which he salatu salam refers to Al Fatiha as a separator my fanny,
the seven oft repeated, there's a hadith like this, I didn't write
down the book of Hadith. I forgot to do that.
But it's a good Hadith a strong Hadith
All right. And there's other opinions also.
What are the sub I mean, in my fanny, it is said that the seven
Masonic refers to the Awana and the Noah hin the sort of commands
and prohibitions of the Quran, the good news and warnings, the
metaphors and enumerations of blessings.
different opinions It is said that the normal Quran is called my
family because it is said at least twice in every prayer so we will
quote on according to the hadith is another way of saying I'd
Fatiha the mother of the Quran, the essence of the Quran, the core
of the Quran, it is said that the Quran is called my fanny because
it is said at least twice in every prayer. Right? So minimal prayers
to rock rock our team. So you're going to say this idea twice. It
is said that Allah set it aside for the Prophet salallahu Salam
and stored it up for him rather than other prophets.
He called the Quran Muthoni because the stories are repeated
in it.
It is said that the seven myth any means we have honored us so
there's another opinion. We have. We have honored you with seven
marks of honor. The prophets of the lies and the myths seven marks
of honor that are mentioned in the Koran, guidance Huda
prophesy Naboo mercy Rahman, Rama,
intercession shafa
friendship, we lie
then esteem like as
refer
and tranquillity Sakina.
Seven marks of honor.
So there's different opinion. There's different opinions about
what is this a several Muthoni but the strong opinion because it's
supported by Hadith explicitly, is that as a reference to Al Fatiha,
there's seven ayat and Al Fatiha.
Allah says We sent down the thicker to you that you might make
things clear.
And when Zelina lake at vichara Lee to be gnarliness man who Zilla
ilium
and we sent down a vicar, the Quran one of the names of the
Quran vicar in order for you to explain to the people what has
been sent down.
So then the prophetic words, the Sunnah is absolutely imperative,
the prophetic commentary of the Quran
and then he quotes here that's from SUTA Nahal by the way, verse
44, famous verse 1644. Then he quotes here 3428 So at a Sabha I
believe it. Verse 28,
we only sent you so when my daughter started NACA ELAC. Caf
attending nasty but she had on one of the euro.
We only sent you to all people as a bringer of good news, Bashir and
and Aveda and as a Warner, these are titles of the provinces that
we've talked about in the past. And then he finally quotes this is
so that's an hour off verse 158. Holy Yeah, you had nurse in knee
Rasulullah Alikum Jimmy
OH people I'm the Messenger of Allah to you all.
So he's saying here why is he quoting these ayat He says this is
one of the special favors He has granted again from the size of the
Prophet salallahu Salam. Allah says We only sent a messenger with
the language of his people to make things clear. Illa Lily sent
elaborately Sanya call me. Allah specifies their peoples but he
said the Prophet salallahu salam to all people.
And he said of himself, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, I
was sent to all mankind. This is stated in numerous Hadith, the
wording in Sahih Muslim or still too ill Halki Kapha
I was sent to the creation, everything, all of creation
so in other words, again, the shitty art of the Prophet
salallahu Salam, there's no there's no more Russell there's no
more NBR there's no sacred law yet to be revealed. The Sharia of the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam is the final secret law revealed. Right?
So that's why as a final messenger, that's why he's the
universal messenger.
And as we said, the video of the Prophet salallahu Salam is a
confirmation of the foundational principles of all of the Shariah
before him
so knew how they send and receive the shitty off.
And then
Musa alayhis salam
sorry Ibrahim Ali Salam, Sharia 2.0 Musala Islam the Torah Sharia
3.0 Are you Sally salon 4.0 And then finally 5.0 The Quran and
that's it as the latest no more updates
of course, there's touch deed there's you know, there's HD HUD
right with the Orlando
the Scholastic community
but those foundations never change
alright
and then he quotes here a beautiful idea so that's one verse
number six.
He says a Nebby you Oh law, meaning I mean and fusi him was
why'd you who Maha to whom
the prophet is near are closer Oh Allah, closer to the believers
mean and fusi him then their own selves. The prophet is near and
dear to the believers than their own selves and his wives are their
mothers. The comment commentators say that nearer to the believers
and their own self means
that they must do whatever He commands just as a slave must
carry out his masters commands. It is said that it is better to
follow his command and to follow one's own opinion.
His wives or their mothers means that they enjoy the same respect
as mothers.
They cannot be married to anyone after him. This is a mark of honor
to him and a special day
again from the size of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam it is also
because they are his wives in the garden.
He says here and unusual reading of this is so this is a shadow
reading. It's an anomalous reading, it's unreliable.
But he quotes it because it has the strength of a hadith so it's
true and its meaning.
But it couldn't be established through multiple li attested
measures
that the ISS nmbu o lab will move meaning I mean and foresee him who
are Ebola.
The prophet is closer to the believers in their own selves. He
is their father was wide you will not have him and his wives or
their mothers.
So it's true and meaning he is preeminently our spiritual father
Ibrahim Ali Salaam in the Quran is called our father me letter IB
Kumi Brahim. And the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is better than
Ibrahim Ali Salam.
So he's saying it's no longer recited because it's at variance
with the version of Monty with money Codex. So it's has a
strength of a hadith.
Allah says Allah sent down on you the book and wisdom. This is Surah
20 sub verse 113.
Or NS Allah Allahu Allah. Al Kitab al Hikmah keytab on hikma, you
always see this coupling, just juxtaposition of Al Kitab while
hikma not always but many times in the Quran, we sent down upon you
al Kitab. The Quran while hikma and according to many are lemma
hikma in the Quran means sunnah.
The Quran pre eminent ethical application.
And notice that Allah says here what enzyme Allahu alayka Kitab
one hikma that Allah revealed that as well. He sent it down literally
unzila needs to send something down. That he read that he
revealed not only the key chat but the Sunnah.
The prophets Allah Lottie systems, exemplary authenticated sayings
and doings are revelation.
And in also in this ayah he says well can follow Allah He alayka
Alima
Allah's overflowing favor to you is immense. It is said that his
immense favorite refers to prophethood or what he already
had, in pre eternality philosophy said that indicates his ability to
bear the vision, the rural era, which Musa Ali's
could not bear.
A lot of going back to this
I at the beginning here 33 Six,
and maybe you owe me an enemy and forcing him that the profit is
more beloved to the believers than their own selves. So usually when
this is quoted the orlimar quote the famous Hadith and Buhari
while in fcbd I swear by the one who has my soul in his head law
you may do I had to compactor Hakuna hubba la mean, why did he
Why did he onesie he married
that none of you have complete faith until I'm more beloved to
him than his his parents, his children and all of humanity.
And there are numerous, numerous Hadith and statements from the
Sahaba stories of the Sahaba that demonstrate that the Sahaba truly
Why walk the walk as far as this is concerned. So naturally, he
said Canada salatu salam habla illenium In Cooley che in Wamena
Alma Al Baghdadi Allah, the Prophet sallallahu sallam was more
beloved to us than every che che means created thing. Shout out
means to shiz to something that's willed into existence. Right? So
this does not include the creator of the Prophet salallahu Salam is
was more beloved to us than anything in creation, even more so
than cold water when we're thirsty. So the analogy here, the
air of the desert, Eric gets it that that cold water is life
itself.
Of course, the famous story in Catan was Ozzy and waka dimensions
the martyrdom of Hubei they have no idea when he was taken to 2018
by them we should have seen after the Battle of bado. And they were
they basically were going to crucify him and then impale him.
And there's other things that say they they cut off his body parts
and things like that.
But they said to him, don't you wish you were at home with your
family and
and Mohammed was in your place? And hope he said, I don't wish
that a foreign prick the finger of the rasuu
Right. And so he said before you kill me, can I pray? Roctane like
pray, you know? And they said, Yeah, you can pray so they let him
And then they turned him from the Kaaba
right and then he quote if he
was a verse one Allah he'll machico While mothering for a NEMA
to what to do for them Mojo Allah, in the LAO Su and alliums. We call
it the idea
that to Allah belongs the east in the West, whichever way you turn,
you'll find that you'll find the countenance of God.
And so, so they, they basically crucified Him, and then they
stabbed him. And then he said that there's no one here to convey my
salons to the Prophet sallallaahu. Salam.
So,
Anwar could he says that the Prophet sallallaahu Salam was in
Medina, he's sitting with some companions, they didn't know how
to find others. And then suddenly, it seemed like the 10 zeal
descended upon Him. And He said, Well, I like your Muslim or not
Allah Hubei. And they said, what happened? And he said, our
companion is being martyred right now in Mecca.
And then I've also found a blowhard who was there, it wasn't
Muslim at the time, obviously, he saw this entire thing happening
and he said Mara Ito had done you hadn't got to be as high as the
Mohammed Mohammed.
He said, I've never seen anyone love anyone like the companions of
Muhammad love Mohammed.
There's many other things so he Muslim mentioned Abdullah, you
balance sorry, a great lover of the Prophet sallallahu sallam,
when the Prophet sallallaahu, Selim came into Madina Munawwara
he stayed at the residence of Abu IU balance already for seven
months.
And you've had a two story house, as it says in Sahih Muslim. And so
the Prophet said, I'll take the ground floor because it's easier
people are going to visit me I'm going to be leaving a lot and I
said, fine. So Abdullah, you've been a family run the second
story. And then like, a few days later, or the that night or
something like that.
A UPC is quoted in the Hadith, he said, he said to his family Namshi
fo perazzi Rasul Allah, did you realize we're walking over the
head of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam.
So the Hadith says for that to a fee, Jan had been so they they
huddled into a corner
of the room upstairs, like into one of the corners, because they
knew that the prophets, Matt was in a certain place downstairs, so
they made sure that they were on the other side. And then they
would sort of shimmy against the walls. They didn't walk across the
room, because they would consider that adult to walk over the head.
So then you became back down and he said, we're walking over your
head. And the Prophet said, That's okay. Don't worry about this. It's
easier for me to be here. And he said, No, I insist. Okay, so he
switched places. So the prophets, I saw them and I was on the second
floor. And then the Hadith says that they would bring him food.
And the province they sent him would leave a little bit of food.
And then Abdullah Ubinas wife would look at the dish and try to
determine where the prophets hand touch the plate and the eat from
that spot. For Tabata rock. And then
one time there was a, there was a plate that came back and it wasn't
touched at all. Right? And so, to be subtle, what happened, you know
that there's something wrong with the food. And then he said that
there's garlic in this food, like I don't eat garlic, because I have
conversations with my lat Iike. And whatever bothers. Humanity
bothers the Malaika. Right, so then abou IOP said, For in the
Accra, Houma Takara I detest whatever you detest, so there's no
more garlic in the house. So the aroma actually say from based on
this hadith that, that eating garlic is MOBA. It's permissible,
but it's mcru. If you're going to speak to dignitaries to to keep
our right like very prominent people.
Of course, there's a hadith of famous Hadith and Timothy,
where i She says that
she approached Fatima Zahra. And she said to her that I noticed
once you were standing like sort of standing over the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam when he was in his final illness, and you leaned
in close suddenly and you started crying. And then you leaned in
again and he started laughing. And she said he said I've always
wondered what did he tell you? What do you can you please tell me
what did he tell you?
So far to my says
Akbar any and the who made you turn mean what God he had that.
Farber Kato, he told me that he's going to die from his illness. So
I cried from Barney and Asaro li Lu who can be the DACA Hina.
The hip to she says that then he told
For me that I would be the first of his family to join him in
death.
And she died a few months later, some six months later, so I
laughed. Right? So and maybe you Oh La will mean in a minute we'll
see him. She was very young woman. How old was she in her 20s, maybe
something like that very young. But she's happy she's going to
die, because she's going to be with her father.
This is a type of love that most people just, they don't get it.
Right. They don't understand what's going on here.
Part of the problem is just as dunya entrenched in the dunya.
You know, people think they're gonna live forever. People they
put things off kettlebell to herbology lab, people just want
immediate gratification. What's your thought? Hornell Ashira. And
then they just ask, you know, what is that that's a long time from
now, if it even happens, the athletic could be tomorrow, if you
die now. In your in your grave, it passes like a night of sleep. And
tomorrow, you want to be literally tomorrow for you could be human.
But that's something far off.
If death comes, suddenly without warning can come to anyone. Just
something we learned from the death of a like a sports star
celebrity like the death of Kobe Bryant something that we can learn
is that death does not discriminate. You can be at your
peak, you can be at your you can be with your kid somewhere and
death comes in both are gone.
So that's actually the end of chapter one.
Any questions or comments?
Just take a drink real fast. And then we'll can start chapter two.
We have a few minutes
I would say probably one of the greatest examples of the prophets,
Oh Allah, the prophets. nearness to the to the Sahaba over their
own selves as president, but don't just read what happened.
Because with butter, they would put themselves totally in harm's
way to protect the profits of the license.
And there's many examples of that.
Chapter Two was called a loss perfecting his good qualities of
character and constitution and giving him all the virtues of the
deen in this world. So I'll read you it's a short introduction, and
then I'll just give you some of the highlights because it's a
little bit
a little confusing, I guess you can say here. So whoever loves a
noble Prophet and is searching out the complete details of his
inestimable treasure of his being should know that man's beautiful
imperfect qualities can be placed in one of two categories. Number
one characteristics which are innate and a necessary part of
life of this world, such as natural form and things connected
to the necessary acts of daily life. Number two characteristics
which are acquired as part of the deen these are things for which
one is praised and which brings one near to Allah.
These qualities can be further divided into two categories,
qualities which are purely innate or acquired. And number two
qualities which combine both elements.
Then he goes on man has no choice in or ability to acquire innate
qualities. These include things like perfection of physique,
physical beauty, strength of intellect, soundness, of
understanding eloquence of tongue, acuteness of the sense of strength
of limb the balance and nobility of lineage, the might of one's
people and the honor of one's land. also connected to this are
the things that are the necessities of daily life, such as
food, sleep, clothes, dwelling place, marriage, property and
rank. These things, however, can be connected to the next world if
the intention in them is related to fear of Allah and teaching the
body to follow the path of Allah, in spite of the fact that they are
all defined as necessity, necessities, and governed by the
rules of the Sharia. As for the acquired things which pertain to
the next world, they include all virtues and the depth of the
Shetty are making things that are things such as practice of the
dean, knowledge for barons, patience, thankfulness, justice,
doing without humility, pardon chastity, generosity, courage,
modesty, manliness, silence, deliberation, gravity, mercy, good
manners, comradeship,
camaraderie, I guess and other similar qualities. They can be
summed up as good character, person and coleg.
Some of these qualities can be part of a natural instinct and
basic disposition in some people, others do not have them and have
to acquire them. However, some basic rudiments of them must exist
in a person's natural disposition as Allah willing, we will make
clear even when the face of Allah in the next world is not what is
intended by these worldly qualities
They are still considered good character in virtues according to
the consensus held by men of sound intellect. However, there is a
disagreement as to the reason for people having these qualities.
It's kind of a
it's really kind of a deep introduction. But basically, what
he's saying here is, among other things, but just basically it's
that some virtues are Wahhabi, some virtues are innate. Some
people are born with virtue, Wahhabi from Al Wahhab. One of the
names of Allah subhana wa Tada is the bestower of gifts at Wahab.
And some virtues are QSB, they can be acquired through discipline,
disciplining the knifes, right? So there's a virtue theory in amongst
our classical or lemma, because it has a virtue theories. And it's
Aristotelian to a certain point.
So basically, that
it's basically to fake it till you make it.
It's called habitus in Greek, that if you want to acquire a virtue,
let's say that some people are born with patience, some people
don't have it. If you're born with it, it's from Al Wahhab, that
Hamdulillah you have it.
Everyone's born equal in the sense that they're all humans, but not
everyone's created equal in that sense that they're exactly the
same. There seem to be some people who are born into opulence. And
well, some people are born into dire poverty. Some people have,
they're born and they're educated and they have incredible deed they
have like discipline and they have virtue.
Some people don't.
So in reality, everything is is why be everything is given by
Allah subhanho wa taala. But basically, if you want to acquire
a certain virtue, you have to fake it until you make it.
If you want to be patient, if you want somebody when something
happens, like a sodomized, like a type of calamity,
act like a virtuous person, act like a
like a patient person. And if you keep acting like that, over time,
it'll be sort of woven into your personality. you'll acquire it,
right?
There's a hadith in Bukhari, a famous Hadith where the Prophet
salallahu Salam was at the graveyard in Medina about a year
and he saw a woman crying at a grave and she was kind of
hysterical. And he said, it definitely was very, yeah, Matala
like Oh, maid, servant of God.
Fear God, and be patient.
And then
she was impatient. She didn't even turn around to see who it is.
So she said to him a Laker, I need to get away from me, like, go get
it, get away from me. You've never been afflicted like this. So some
of the magazines say that her son that died, of course, the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam buried all of his children except for one,
right? And he knew that Fatima would die in six months, and he
knew what I was saying, but also be martyred
as well.
So the prophets I sent him he just he goes home, right? And then the
woman she finds out that that it was the prophet so I said, um, so
she goes and waits by his door.
And she says to him that, you know, I'll be patient and now the
Prophet said to her in the Mossad bro and Assad Mathilde Gula.
Oh, and, uh, what is Saudi Martin,
that indeed, true patience is that the first stroke of the calamity?
That's true patients. Right. And that's, that's the goal. So it's
good that you're going to be paid. That's how we learn. Right? But
true patience, you can if someone's a sob or Cebu, the way
that you can tell is that something happens and immediately
they have patients, that means they've acquired this virtue, or
they're trying to acquire this virtue, so they're acting like a
patient person. Right?
So that's how you acquire virtue.
The difference with Aristotle then between Lasallian Aristotle method
is somewhat the same, but the tail loss. The higher the end, the aim
is different. The aim for Aristotle is, he calls it you die.
Knowmia, which is like living a fulfilled happy life of
contemplation. To become a philosopher. That's the end.
For Ghazali and others, it is proximity to the Divine as we Leia
is sainthood.
That's that's the goal is that you mimic the ethos of the Prophet
salallahu Salam, because he's Habibollah and by doing that you
become happy below. You become beloved of God.
And you attain ranks of sainthood. That's the goal.
In sainthood, we're using a sort of more general, right?
Proximity to God.
Not necessarily someone who can manifest cut on math and things
like that someone with good character, someone who's in the
someone who may not even have a lot of knowledge as an average
Muslim guy or a woman, but is striving to emulate the prophets.
Nobody said them and their sincerity there and they're
constantly working on their hook. And they're constantly trying to
acquire these virtues. It never stops, continues to go. So the
Prophet said, first Butoh had to tell Coney Island, how keep being
patient, and one of the meanings of patients is also perseverance.
keep persevering until you meet me at the hold. That's when you can
relax.
But the dunya is going to be work. There's no point in that don't
know, which is I'm good enough. Now. I'm good, like declutter
Gilani when, when he had the dream and the light, and your shaker,
your The Great huali And there's no tech leaf on you. No more
prayer for you, you've ascended, transcended the prayer. And he
said, Who are you? And he said, I'm your Lord. He said, No, you're
alive. You're the shaytaan because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had
to pray six times a day. The tech leaf has not removed from him on
any of the Olia but I've transcended took leave is
ridiculous.
Anyway, I think we can stop here inshallah. So, for next week,
we'll so that was that's the introduction. Basically,
we'll start section one, which is a preface, which is sort of a
summary of what he's already said in chapter one. And in section
two, he begins by talking about the Hulk, so there's holes in
Hulk. The Hulk is the character of the proposition. The Hulk is his
physical manifestation. So his physical appearance, the physical
appearance of the process,
which is a sign of his Naboo the way that he physically looked
the
next time
he was.
There, they're given as gifts by the gift giver. Other Wahab Allah
subhanaw taala other football l must be earned.
Their acquired moment of his ad. He says at the end of the day,
everything is what happy everything is from Allah subhana
wa, tada.
Anyway,
but there are some virtues that require discipline. And we said
last week, that Imam was Ali's theory of virtue is very similar
to Aristotle in the method of habitus right habituating, the
lower self to acquire these virtues. But the idea that tell us
the end is very different for Aristotle, and the Nicomachean
Ethics. The tell loss is eudaimonia, a full fulfilled life
or happiness or life of contemplation to become a
philosopher. Or as for bizarrely, it's Wilaya proximity to the
Divine sainthood friendship with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
Now, in the preface, he says, if someone has been blessed with even
one or two of these qualities of perfection and nobility, whether
of lineage beauty, power, knowledge, forbearance, courage or
generosity, he is considered noteworthy and people use him as
an example as a moral exemplar. People's heartfelt esteem of these
qualities makes people who have them honored long after their
bones have turned to dust.
So, Mr. Little Azadi in his Yeah. He mentions or he affirms what are
known as the four cardinal virtues, the four principal
virtues, he calls them all Mahato phorbol.
And these are courage and wisdom and temperance
and justice.
So they are in Arabic, they are shujaa
which is epitomized by Abu Bakr Siddiq, so each of the 4k lifts
epitomizes one of these virtues shujaa courage and then Ahmad
dalla justice Earthman is alpha 10
rinse, and Hekima say naturally,
these are the MaHA told for the oil,
the cardinal virtues, the principal virtues, but these also
must be refined according to Imam Al Ghazali. That true virtue is in
the middle. It's the mean that golden means or true courage.
Right? So in other words, courage, it has two extremes. Right. So the
virtues in the middle to one extreme is excessive courage.
Right? This is if fraud if fraud and tuffrey too much courage,
excessive courage. This is not considered a fondle. It's not
considered a virtue, it's a vise. So someone for example, who's has
to how water or foolhardiness, someone who's reckless, that's not
courage. So for example,
you see some somebody
mugging someone with a gun on the street, it's probably not a good
idea to confront that person directly, because you're going to
put yourself in danger. So it's probably a better decision to just
call the police with your cell phone. actually approaching that
person and trying to stop the mugger is actually not considered
courage, but rather recklessness, and that's a vise and then you
have the other extreme
where there's deficiency in courage, right to freedom, and
that's cowardice. jubelin. Right.
Even with wisdom,
right. So the point here is that, that a true virtue is to know when
and how to act.
That's a true virtue, when and how to act.
And then to follow a moral exemplar. So as we said, each of
the 4k lifts epitomize one of these virtues and the Prophet
sallallahu. Sydenham epitomizes all of them but even with wisdom,
there are excesses. Excess wisdom is called Mikado or deceit,
trickster ism, right. And in many cultures around the world,
trickster ism is actually lauded, it's praised. If you can, you
know, if you can fool someone and get away with it, and somehow get
their money or something, then you're a clever person, you know,
this type of thing.
Unfortunately, this is something that's found in cultures all
around the world and in literature all around the world, the
Trickster archetype
it's found in the Bible. It's found in, in Greek mythology,
Prometheus, and other places as well. And then obviously, a
deficiency of wisdom was called Bella or stupidity.
Right.
So, these are the these are the cardinal virtues. And as Ali also
talks about the mystical virtues, so these are cardinal virtues, and
then there are mystical virtues. And these mystical virtues he
considers them to be the stations that are bestowed by ALLAH SubhanA
wa to honor these MACOM that and the first one is repentance is
Toba. That's the first station that's the first station of a
spiritual path. And the last one is muhabba is love.
I think that microphone
stopped working or something
it's not working.
So then along the path, there's Sobotta and Shaka how often
suffered these 19 mystical virtues
Okay.
So are they are Yeah, it continues.
So what can be said of the inestimable worth of someone who
possesses all these qualities?
Is it microphone work?
Yeah
it doesn't like me
so he's saying here it would be possible for him to have granted
them either by graft or Guile such a person is only such a thing is
only possible by the gift of Allah the Almighty. So now he's going to
list of the various qualities praiseworthy, praiseworthy
qualities and virtues of the prophets, Donati, send them so
prophethood bearing the message, close friendship with Allah, His
love being chosen the Night Journey, vision of him nearness,
proximity, Revelation intercession, mediation all the
virtues high degree of the praiseworthy station the bedrock
of the ascension. being sent to all mankind is a very long list
leading the prophets
In prayer, the witnessing for him of the prophets in our
communities, mastery over the descendants of Adam. He's being
the bearer of the bear of the banner of praise. Bringing good
news and warning is placed with the one with the throne obedience
bearing the trust guidance. Being a mercy for the world's Allah has
been pleased with him so that he is allowed to ask of him kofod are
being listened to, or being obeyed. The perfection of blessing
on him, pardon for past and future wrong actions expanding of the
breast, the removing of his burden, the elevation of his
renown, he's being helped by a mighty victory, the sending down
of the Sakina support by the angels is bringing the book and
wisdom and the seventh my fanny and the men's Quran. His community
being purified is calling to allow the, the prayer of Allah and His
angels on him. His judging between people and by what Allah showed
Him, He's removing the chains and burden from them. A lot of
swearing by his name is supplication being answered,
inanimate objects and animals speaking to him, that dead being
brought to life for His sake, that deaf hearing, water gushing from
between his fingers is turning a little into a lot. The splitting
of the moon the sun going back is changing of the essence of things.
And there's a footnote for instance, at the Battle of Baba or
there was a companion named Akasha, whose sword had broken and
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam picked up a piece of wood and said
Take this and fight with it. And it will cache I looked and it
turned into a blade they called it Allah own.
So changing the essence of things, is being helped by terror. This is
a bad translation. Terror is a very loaded term nowadays. This
does not mean terrorism as we know it is still federal law.
This means that this is from the Hassan is of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam that Allah would strike in intense fear and dread
into the hearts of his enemies
during the military expeditions, right so no Luffy Ruben Medina
kufr o r Ba, ba, Ma, Shinjuku Billa marlim unit ZIL Biggie
soltana, that Allah subhanaw Dallas struck the hearts of the
unbelievers are the Messiah keen with odo ARB, which is sometimes
translated as terror. I wouldn't use that translation anymore. I
mean, that's what it means. But terror again, is a very, very
loaded term. This verse is actually from Surah number three,
verse 151, which does have a suburb of New Zealand, according
to the aroma was revealed for a specific purpose. Ie mama Tubridy
munkar, to be mentioned that after the Battle of butter, when the
Sahaba had suffered many casualties,
and they went back to Medina, the Bucha keine, felt emboldened
initially, and they plan on going into Medina itself, and then
massacring everyone in Medina. But then Allah Subhana Allah put this
intense or, or but this intensive dread fear into their hearts and
he said, That's good enough, let's just go back to Mecca.
So that's the context of the IRA. And many times the prophets Allah
alayhi salam would dress and they go out for an expedition and
military engagement, and the enemy would come near him and they would
flee. Because Allah subhanho wa Taala would put this intense fear
and dread in their hearts. It continues listing, the Prophet saw
some qualities and praiseworthy station, his his knowing the
unseen, the cloud, shading him the glorification of the pebbles, his
removing pain, his protection for people and so on. And this is just
some of what Allah gave him, there is much more he says, knowledge of
His qualities can only be contained by someone who's given
it, and only Allah can bestow it.
There's no God but him. Add to this all the stations of honor
degrees of purity ranks of happiness, excellence, and
increase which Allah has prepared for him in the domain of al Qaeda,
which cannot be numbered which intellects are unable to grasp,
and which confound the imagination. So that's his
preface. And now we begin section two with his physical attributes.
So this is part of the Arcada of Anna Sonia Well, Gemma to believe
that the Prophet sallallaahu Salam had the best hook and the best
Holic. In other words, internal and external beauty.
So here we're talking about ethics and physical appearance.
And from the prophetic invocations of course, the Prophet salallahu
Salam, when he will look into the mirror Allahumma Kumar.
Kumar has center Halki for Haston hookey Oh ALLAH just as you have
made my external reality beautiful, beautify my internal
reality. So beautiful dua so he can he begins here for the year
yeah, it says there's absolutely no way to conceal the fact that
the prophet is the worthiest of all mankind, the greatest of them
in position, and most perfect of them and good qualities and virtue
is
setting out to detail his qualities of perfection and the
best way I can which has filled me with longing to call attention to
some of his attributes salatu salam, may Allah grant him peace?
No May Allah illuminate your my heart and yours and increase my
love and your love for this noble prophet, and mean that if you were
to look into all those qualities of perfection, which cannot be
acquired, and which are part of one's constitution, you will find
that the prophet has every one of them all of the various good
qualities without there being any dispute about it, among the
transmitters of the trends of the true traditions, the beauty of His
form, and the perfect proportion of his limbs are related in
numerous sound and famous traditions. And then he names a
bunch of transmitters ID and NSF nomadic and Abu Huraira and
elevado even though as a bit Aisha, even though Abby, Hala,
etc, and we'll go into many of these inshallah Tada.
Some of these are very well known, some of them are not very well
known.
He had the most radiant coloring, deep black eyes, which were wide
set and had a sort of red tinge to them. long eyelashes, a bright
complexion,
and an aquiline nose. aquiline means it was a slightly hooked
nose. Aquila, in Latin means Eagle. Right, it's like eagle's
beak. It's also called a Roman nose. And early Christianity, the
eagle was a symbol of strength and nobility, the symbol the Gospel of
John was an eagle. The Roman Empire's symbol was the eagle. In
ancient Greek mythology, Zeus was symbolized by the eagle. So the
aquiline nose aquiline noses are cross culturally viewed as
beautiful and noble.
It's an immediate sign of nobility physical sign
and continue had a gap between his front teeth. It was a small gap.
His face was round with a wide brow and he had a thick beard
which reached his chest
is his chest, his chest and abdomen were of equal size. So his
stomach did not protrude. Salatu Salam, he did not have like what
we call a pot belly. Right? And this is something that's
important.
You know, because the prophets, Allah alayhi salam is is, like I
said, physically, he's the most beautiful, therefore he's going to
be the most healthy. Nowadays, you have this thing going around where
we're supposed to accept.
You know, people as they are, even if they're unhealthy,
unfortunately, there are people who complain that they have to,
they have to buy two seats on an airplane. Because they're
overweight. Well, some people have sort of predispositions to weight
gain and things like that. So I'm not talking about that. But a lot
of this has to do with a lack of self control. Right, and then they
turn it into a civil rights issues like oh, just as you know, black
people had to sit in the back of the bus. Now I have to pay for two
seats on an airplane. No, it's not. It's not the same thing at
all. You know? So obesity is is unattractive, because it's
unhealthy. That person is literally dying. So it's not
attractive, just as anorexia is not attractive, because that
person is literally dying. Right? So the Prophet saw a lot. He said
that with his physical constitution avoided both of these
extremes. So you could draw a line from his chest down, it was
straight.
He was broad chested with broad shoulders, large bones, large
arms, thick palms, and soles, long fingers, fair skin, and fine hair
from the chest to the navel.
So you know, he had some maths, you know, so I told the brothers,
he should lift some weights, you know, increase your muscle mass.
There are brothers I know that are pushing 30 That can't find wives,
and
they're good brothers. But I don't know if I can have the heart to
tell. I mean, they look like they're 110 pounds.
And it's not really attractive to women. It's just not beautiful. So
the Prophet salaallah alayhi salam is is our example.
And he had he had large arms and a broad chest and you know, he had
broad shoulders and
because that's the picture of beauty.
He was neither tall no short, but between the two in spite of that,
no tall person who walked with the Prophets seem taller than him.
His hair was neither straight nor curly.
When he laughed when he laughed, and his teeth showed it was like a
flash of lightning, where they seemed as white as hailstones.
When he spoke it was like light issuing from between his teeth. He
had a well formed neck, neither broad nor fat. He had a compact
body which was not fleshy.
Alberto said I did not see anyone with a more beautiful lock of hair
resting on a red robe, the Messenger of Allah,
I will heard it I said, I have not seen anything more beautiful than
the Messenger of Allah. It was as if the sun was shining in his face
when he laughed and reflected from the wall. There's another Hadith
that he doesn't mention here, from Sahih Muslim also related but by
about all
that the prophets of Allah He said the Prophet was or Julian mirboo
And he was
middle middle height, broad shouldered
his hair hung down to his ear lobes. Then he said, I heard that
on Hamra, and he was wearing a red mantle and then he said Mara, a to
che and to accent the men who I did not see anything more
beautiful than him. He doesn't say I didn't see any Bashaud or human
being or any manner.
I didn't see anything. Che nothing in creation was more beautiful
than
Java, even though someone was asked what was his face like a
sword? He replied, No, it was like the sun in the moon. It was round
that hadith in Bukhari and Muslim.
In her description, Oh, my bad, Oh, my bad is Arctic I've been to
Khalid.
So this is the context of this hadith and this hadith is in Bay
happy that the Prophet salallahu Salam when he was making Hijra
with Abu Bakr Siddiq,
they stopped and rested in a town on their way to Medina. And this
woman, my bed, was a very, very old woman, saw him from a distance
and then met him up close. And she said,
she said from afar, he was the most beautiful of people and up
close, he was the most handsome.
And then, and then she said to her husband, after the prophet had
left, you never get tired of looking at him.
She was very, very old woman.
So he, the prophets I send them was very striking, or you would
say, stunningly handsome.
So people are like that you just see them and then stops you. And
you forget what you're saying.
Even though Abby Hala said His face shone like the full moon.
At the end of his description, Ali said, Anyone who saw him suddenly
was filled with awe of him. So there was a Hey by there was like
this weightiness, or gravitas, dignity. People when they
immediately saw the promise, they said, they were awestruck by him.
Right like they were just overcome. It's like when you first
lay eyes on the Kaaba, when you actually see the Kaaba, that first
initial moment, you're awestruck by the spectacle.
Say now it says this hadith is in the Shamala tivity. And then he
says, Those who kept his company loved him, but when you actually
mixed with him, got to know him, and you behave as still there. But
then you started to love him almost immediately. And some
people are like this also, you meet a perfect stranger. And
there's something about their attitude that you after two
minutes you think I love this guy, he's such a nice guy, I show this
beautiful guy.
Oh describe him say that they have not seen anyone like him, either
before or since. Moderate to people who are bad who Mithila who
did not see before after the likes of him.
There are many famous Hadith so far the reality. He concludes the
section here. There are many famous Hadith which describe him
we will not take time here to give all of them we will restrict
ourselves to some aspects of his description, and give him a
summary of them which is enough to serve our purpose.
Section three is on his cleanliness
is cleanliness. So he begins here by saying the complete cleanliness
of his body, the sweetness of his smell and perspiration.
And its freedom from uncleanliness. And bodily defects
comprise a special quality given to him by a law which no one else
enjoys. And these were made yet more complete by the cleanliness
dictated by the Sharia.
And the 10 practices of natural behavior. So these are called the
ASHA twin men and fitrah
there's a hadith in Sahih Muslim that names these, these basically
10 practices of good hygiene.
Right there elsewhere and other Hadith are called Asha that's when
Muniz sunnah,
the 10 practices of the of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam of the
Sunnah.
So the Hadith, and there's different versions of the Hadith,
but in Muslim from Asia, clipping the mustache obviously, this
refers only to the men not allowing the mustache to go into
the mouth. It's considered very bad hygiene.
Letting the beard grow. The beard is a sign of little Giulia,
virility manliness
Prestige maturity power. It's proper for a man to have even a
few hairs on his chin, it shouldn't be out of control and
untidy
using a toothpick or a toothbrush,
very good hygienic practice
of the profits of the lottery send them snuffing up water into the
nose or rinsing the nose out.
Very good. Practice for health reasons. Cutting the nails
obviously good hygiene washing the knuckles by here the hands or the
the joints, right. Which is what we're told to do a lot nowadays.
Do fist bumps now we're not allowed to shake hands anymore.
Because the corona stuff plucking the orchard or trimming the hair
of the armpit shaving or or plucking or trimming the pubic
hair, cleansing oneself with water in the laboratory.
A lot of people don't do that, by the way, which is very strange to
think about that but a lot of people don't do that using water
after you use the bathroom.
A very good hygienic practice. axiomatic for us but a lot of
people don't do that. The narrator forgot the 10th but he said it
could be rinsing out the mouth.
It's a good practice. It's like a form of a quack floss when you eat
is rinse the mouth out and a food particles will come out sometimes
they get stuck and they cause infection.
And then one version has circumcision rather than letting
the beard grow. There are different versions of the Hadith.
But these are the 10 practices of the fitrah or the 10 practices of
the Sunnah, the 10 practices of good hygiene and healthy, healthy
living.
The Messenger of Allah said the deen is based on cleanliness. So
he quotes this hadith the commentator says it's from people
to headband and it's that efe but there's a hadith and Muslim actual
horo shutaura Eman. This is in Sahih Muslim cleanliness is half
of faith. In this culture they say cleanliness is next to godliness.
And I said that I have not smelled Amber Musk or anything more
fragrant and the smell of a messenger of God salatu salam.
hadith is Muslim and Timothy jabber even someone said that the
Messenger of Allah touched his cheek so the prophets I send them
to you pass by groups of children playing and oftentimes he just
kind of pat them on the head. Sometimes he packed them like on
the cheek like this. So this happened to to Jabba. He said the
Prophet touched my cheek and he said I felt a cool sensation.
And his hand was scented. And he said, Can nama Raja ha. Enjoy
knotty tar, it was like he drew his hand out of a bag of perfume.
That's what it smelled like when he touched my cheek. It's
incredible is a coolness to it. It's incredible smell to it.
Someone said
no matter whether he had put scent on his hand or not. If he shook a
man's hand, the fragrance would remain for the whole day.
One of my teacher said follow me said that after the Israel wanted
me out Raj, the scent increased there was a natural scent he had
since birth, but it got more intense after the latest release
of our mirage. If the Prophet placed his hand on the head of a
child, that child we recognized among other children by the
fragrance is smell his head.
And then, you know there the time of the tabby or even some of the
Sahaba were still alive. We're very old and the tabby would
actually line up at their doors just to like, see like the man's
head because they said the prophets had once touched him when
he was a boy. Now he's old man, he's gray or he's bald, and they
go and they smell his head. I can still smell the fragrance or the
provinces.
The Messenger of Allah slept on a rug in a house of NS and
perspired. And as his mother when was the name, brought a long
necked bottle in which to put his off his sweat.
When the messenger asked her about this, she said we put it in our
perfume who I mean ugly, obviously but she said is the most fragrant
of scents, the best of perfumes, Bukhari and Muslim.
And it's great history before he mentioned that Jabra said the
Prophet went down a road anyone who followed him
anyone who follow him knew he had passed that way because of his
scent. So the Prophet went through like a path in the streets. You
can just follow his fragrance and know exactly where he went if you
had a good sense of smell.
And then he says here is half a minute Ibnu Raha away, mentioned
that the prophets fragrance occurred without the use of
perfume? I don't know it's happening in a row. Row hallway is
Something that he mentions here from one of the scholars,
even without the use of perfume, it's a natural scent here.
How many of you know sad? Waka describe related that I just said
to the Prophet salallahu Salam, when you come from relieving
yourself, we do not see anything noxious from you. He said I should
Don't you know that the Earth swallows up what comes out of the
prophets, so that none of it is seen.
So, of course, this hadith this hadith is very much disputed,
though. It's very much disputed.
But he just mentioned it here connected to this, we have a
hadith of Satana Ali, I watched the prophets body so this method
prophet had passed salatu salam and I began to look for what is
normally found in a corpse, but I did not find anything.
And I said, Hey, speaking to the Prophet, b i b He said by me so my
father be ransomed. A you boo tip the hi Yan. What took them a Eaton
center Alia saying this the privacy said as he's watching him,
that you were pure and life and pure and death.
He added a sweet smell came from him, who's like I've never
experienced is in multiple Hadith and some of the alumni say there
may be some weakness in this new match I related to that would have
Hakim and others.
In Behati, Abu Bakar Kista prophets have a lot of cinnamon
after the latter's death, and he said something to the same effect.
It was also the time when Malik had a new scene and drank some of
the blood of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. And it was what
or should he says he lifted up the Prophet allowed him to do that.
And then set the fire will not touch you. This hadith isn't a
taboo, Ronnie.
This hadith is often attacked by like Christian polemicists. So
something to remember about this hadith is this, this was not a
command, the Prophet did not command
Malik to do this, this was a spur of the moment thing that Matic did
in and out, it was out of love for the Prophet sallallahu Sena. The
Prophet did not command him, but he allowed him and he excused him
for doing that.
It's interesting that Christians would attack this Christian
apologist attack this hadith. There's a statement from the Saudi
salaam, in their source is a very strange statement that they
attribute to Him in the Gospel of John Chapter Six, where he says,
unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, there is no life in you.
And Catholics actually take that, quite literally, this is a
command. So one of their seven sacraments is called the
Eucharist, where they come together on Sunday for the mass,
and they have bread and they have wine. And something occurs during
the process called Transubstantiation which they
actually believe that the Holy Spirit will change the essence of
the bread into the literal body of God. And then they eat it, and
then the wine into the literal BLOOD OF GOD. And then they drink
that, right. So this is something that they're commanded to do.
So it's very ironic that they attack Hadith like this, because a
companion on the day of Orford, you know, and that intense
situation with a prophet is bleeding, right that this
companion basically jumped on the Prophet and took some of the blood
into his mouth, out of love.
But nowadays, because the corona thing is, so when you go into a
Catholic Church, the priest is supposed to take this away for
he's supposed to put it right on the tongue. But now the Vatican is
saying that's, that's not optimal because of the Coronavirus, right.
That's how germs get passed. He's supposed to put the wafer in the
person's hand. But then there are crumbs that come off and those
crumbs if they're discernible with the iron as being wafer, then
that's literally literally it's not figurative, the Protestants,
they figured it the Catholics are over a billion and a half. And
they say literally, that's literally the body of God.
So they have people wiping, you know, their hands on their pants
and things like that.
So
it's causing a lot of problems with
Catholics right now.
This one's also something that's always always attacked here.
Something similar is related that one a woman drank some of his
urine
and he told her you will never complain of a stomach ache.
So the hadith is an Al Hakim,
and then call the Yad says he did not order any of them to wash
their mouths out nor did he forbid them from doing it again. Then he
says, To Hadith of the woman drinking the urine a sound.
Dada Kootenay follows Muslim and Behati who related in the Sahara.
I couldn't locate this hadith in Bukhari and Muslim.
Then I called one of my colleagues who was a hadith scholar. And he
said, it's not an Istanbul hottie.
Good Muslims. So I don't know what's happening here. Maybe this
is a bad translation,
or the AI is just seems to be mistaken here.
The hadith is founded at Tel Bharani.
But nonetheless, Father Yeah, he goes on to say the name of this
woman was Baraka, and they disagree about her lineage. Some
say that it was a man who used to serve the prophecies and um, she
said that the messenger had a wooden Cup, which he placed under
his bed, in which he would urinate and during the night, one night he
urinated in it. And when examined, when he examined it in the
morning, there was nothing left in it. He has Baraka about that. She
said, I got up and I was thirsty, so I drank it without knowing it's
unintentional.
And then he says, This hadith is related, but you can enjoy rage
and others. So this like I said, this hadith isn't taught by Ronnie
and most had to think consider it very, very weak.
Now, many of those are them. I do maintain, however, that the entire
body of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is taught him his entire
body is pure. Right so the question is about this hadith.
So his physical body is special, and that's from his class size.
However, there's no even on this issue. There's no HMR
right? Many other anima maintain that. All human
excrement is nudges. And this is true of all the prophets because
they're still human beings. So Allah hide them
while they are yet also mentioned the Prophet was born circumcised
with his umbilical cord cut is related that his mother Amina said
he was born clean and there's no impurity on and there was no
impurity on him
Hello?
Right
What time
so I don't have much else to say so we'll finish that's the end of
section three and then we'll do section four inshallah. And then
we'll call it a night.
So section four, his intellect, eloquence, and the acuteness of
his faculties Any questions before a comments
section for chapter two,
as far as ample intellect, intelligence and acuteness of a
census, his eloquence, the grace of his movements and excellence of
his faculties, there is no doubt that he was the most intelligent
and astute of people.
Anyone who reflects on how he managed the inward and outward
affairs of people in the politics of the common people, and the
elite in his amazing qualities and wonderful life, not to mention the
knowledge which flowed from him in the way he confirmed the shitty
art without any previous instruction, experience or reading
any books will have no doubts about the superiority of his
intellect, the firmness of his understanding. None of this
requires confirmation because it has already been amply verified.
So you think about like all of the different hats as it were, that
the Prophet said a lot of sort of more during his life, as being a
father, as being the head of state as being a prophet. All of these
different things that he was doing as being a military commander, as
being a spiritual leader
is really incredible, remarkable, right, which has led many as we
know Western scholars to conclude that really isn't
class by himself. There's no one quite like him in all of history,
right was a famous book by Michael Hart 1978 The 100 Most Influential
People
ranking the profits of a lot Islam number one, because no nobody had
the holistic impact that he had in all of history really, when you
think about it, not even close, I think. I mean, second place is
very, very distant.
mudra had said when the Prophet when the messenger of allah
sallallahu Sallam got up for prayer,
he could see all those behind him as if they were in front of him.
And this is established in strong Hadith and Behati.
Now famous SuFu for in the Araku Khalifa hurry
so he said,
establish the Alliance for prayer stands straight for indeed I can
see behind my back.
This affords one commentary on the words what taka Luba facade Jadine
so here's how they are yet he quotes this verse we he quoted it
earlier. And we quoted it earlier as well. Even at Bass his opinion
about this and you're turning about in those who makes such an
event bass his opinion is that this is a reference to the
prophetic light that is being passed through
Solly hain, from Adam Alia salaam to new holidays, to people to him
on a Sunday all the way to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that the
prophetic light was being passed. This is one of the proofs that are
used to indicate that there's no shidduch in the immediate ancestry
in the direct ancestry of the prophets of a lottery system. But
here he's he's quoting it for different reason. He's saying here
it took a loop to Kaluga for surgery in Japan loop refers to
his eyesight.
Right, and your age and your ability to see those who are makes
making such that from behind his back.
And this is supported by another ayah in the Quran. Surah Baqarah
verse 144 called Nara the Kaluga token Luba what she got is a man
that indeed we see you turning your face towards the sky or
directing your eyes the color here what she got a little bit which
again means to turn your eyes towards the heavens. Right so some
of the earlier must say that this is an issue out offers to 19
indicates the eyesight of the prophets abilities and his ability
to see behind him during the prayer.
lotsa contains the words of the Prophet I can and there's other
Hadith he quotes or I can see you behind me. There's something
similar from escena to Saheeh collections Aisha said the same
thing adding from herself it is something extra which Allah gave
him as an additional proof. One of the variants has I can see
whoever's behind me as I see whoever is in front of me.
Another has I see the one behind my neck as I see the one before
me.
But you are able to Mohammed related that Aisha said the
Prophet salallahu Salam could see as well in the dark as he saw in
the light. This hadith is in Makati.
Sorry they have to mention this hadith. And there may may be some
weakness in the snad there are many other sound traditions about
the process that I'm seeing the angels these are sound heard if
you saw Gbit Salaam 600 wings on a throne between the heavens and the
earth across the horizon. He saw the shayateen and sound
traditions.
He was able to see the Najafi and and Habesha
the Christian king who had become Muslim, by the way. But he's not a
he's not considered a hobby because he did not see with his
eyes. The Prophet salallahu Salam but he's a tabby. He's a tabby who
lived at the time of the prophets of Allah.
So he could pray for him. So the the day that dinner Joshi died.
The Prophet sallallahu Sallam he said Martel Yom Roger and Solomon
for whom have a son Lou. And AFRICOM
as Hammer as hammer that was his name, the king of Abyssinia. So he
said, Today, a righteous man has died that he was informed of this
by
Gbit Sinha.
So stand and pray for your brother.
In the same way he says he saw Jerusalem after his night journey.
So he was given some sort of vision and awakened state of the
temple precincts in Jerusalem Temple Mount area, because some of
the Koreans had gone there on caravans and they knew the
description so they said, Well, why don't you describe it?
So we can confirm that you were there. So even though he was
there, Allah Subhana Allah manifested, like it was right in
front of him like the cab was right in front of him. He was able
to pinpoint these describe these minut details.
And there's some other traditions that say that, that they still
didn't believe him and then he said, Okay, you know what, a few
days a caravan will arrive. There's one camel missing. I saw
it bolt away from them. Right. And then the caravan arrived a law
item.
He also saw the Kaaba when he was building the mosque in Medina.
So this is extraordinary ability to see things to hear things.
Right.
Mathematical humble and others related to the prophet could see
11 stars in the Pleiades for a year. This according to admirable
humble and others refers to the total, which is which it is
physically possible to see with the naked eye. One of them believe
that this is referred to as knowing about it. However, the
clear meaning contradicts this, and there is no impossibility of
this having been done. Clear sightedness is one of the special
traits of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and one of their
qualities. I will quote it I said that the Prophet said when Allah
the mighty, manifested themselves to Musa, he was able to see an ant
on a stone in the darkness of the night at a distance of 10 leagues.
This is an Pavani.
Therefore, it is in no way impossible for a prophet to have
been able to do what he had we have mentioned in this chapter,
after the night journey, and the favor he received on seeing one of
the greatest signs of his Lord. traditions have come down to the
effect that he threw down, Roh Khanna the strongest of the people
of his time, and called him to Islam. So that famous Mexican
wrestler was, you know, he's used the best wrestler, right? And he
was a big, huge guy. And in the province they sent him he
basically just kind of body slammed him a couple of times, he
did the first time we're kind of said, How did you do that? No
one's ever done any. So let me show you did it again. And then he
became Muslim,
physical strength.
And then Abu Huraira said, I did not see anyone who walked more
swiftly than the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam. It was if
it was as if the earth rolled up for him, we would exhaust
ourselves and yet he was not tired at all.
And this Hadith also mentioned something similar in the Shemitah
live even with Timothy.
Another of his qualities was that his laugh was only a smile. When
he turned to face someone. He turned to face them directly or
totally would turn his entire body towards that person.
So he wouldn't turn like this and speak to someone who was
considered he would consider that sort of bad web turned completely.
And when he walked, he walked as if and then he would turn when he
was done, he would turn completely away. And when he walked, he
walked as he as if he was coming down a slope. So he would walk in
other words, he would walk with intention. He'd walk as if he had
somewhere to go, he wasn't just walking around meandering around
with like, he had nothing to do and
so the Sahaba would have a hard time keeping up with him. And it's
also due to his perfect physical constitution, perfect physical
health. Right that he had just vigor and strength about him so
his walk was naturally fast.
So that's the end of section four. So that's all I had planned on
doing for today, inshallah. So, leave a little bit early unless we
have some, some questions
or comments. So next time I'm planning on Sharla getting to
Section seven or eight.
In sha Allah.

So we're continuing our series on the Keto bushy fat
by a party or yet
so,
we are on section five here, this is still part one, chapter two,
section five.
And if people have comments or questions, you can certainly type
them in into the live chat inshallah. And I will try to
answer them as they come in.
Or answer them next week, if they require a bit of research.
So, this section in my translation,
this is on page 39.
The area he calls it, his eloquence in sound Arabic.
So he says the Prophet salallahu Salam was pre eminence in
eloquence and fluency of speech is well known.
He was fluent. He was skillful in debate.
In this is from the
the necessary attributes of all Prophets is that they should have
acumen suspiciousness, they should be extremely intelligent,
especially in matters of religion. Scotland debate very concise,
clear and clear and expression. Lucid use sound meanings and was
free from affectation affectation is the word she uses to translate.
This means pretension.
So someone who uses affectation or someone who is pretentious in
speech is someone who uses speech, which is intended to like impress
people, right?
And it has sort of a artificial
quality to it. And so the Prophet sallallahu Sallam speech is
totally free of this type of pretension, that his eloquence was
very, very natural. This is simply how he spoke.
There was no pretension behind anything he was saying. He was
given mastery of language. He says literally all the words and was
distinguished by producing marvelous Maxim's these are why
sayings like a for isms HECM.
He goes on to say, he learned the dialects of the Arabs, and would
speak to each of their communities in their own dialect, and converse
with them in their own idiom. So this not only demonstrates the
incredible wisdom, and an intellect of the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam, but also demonstrates that he had
incredible respect for others, right? That when he would speak to
a certain Arab tribe,
that was not Qureshi, he would use their dialect as a way of honoring
Ben and use idiomatic language that they were familiar with, in
order to communicate to them
sound meanings of the Quran and his message.
This is also part of the wisdom of Dawa, that you speak as it were
the language of the people that you're inviting to the truth. And
some of the aroma are better at this than others.
Some of the aroma, are better at written exposition than actually
giving lectures.
But a true scholar knows how to tailor the message to the given
audience.
So
there are scholars in our community that can give an
incredibly effective lecture to a group of five year olds and
kindergarten and, and then that same scholar could go to
a school of law at a university and give an equally effective
message to law school students and everything in between. That's part
of the wisdom of giving Dawa.
So the Prophet salallahu Salam, not only in the Prophet,
sallAllahu Sydenham, when before he made to hit it off, we know
that he sent before him some Sahaba to bring him back
information as to the, the temperaments and the and the likes
and dislikes and the character and attitudes of the people of of the
effort. And so Musab even earlier, he went to your thread before the
hijra, and he would teach them for on and he would get to know the
people there and he would come and report back to the profits of the
lobby, Saddam's will the profits of the lobby, sooner we
received Him, and actually, our King came into Madina Munawwara,
he will tailor the message for those specific groups.
And again, that's part of the wisdom of Dawa, and that's part of
his incredible intelligence. And that's him fulfilling his
obligation, because another one of the YG bat as a prophet, another
obligatory attribute of a prophet is to believe they must convey the
message and the prophets, they convey the message in the best of
forms.
So we continue to follow the Ariad he says, he answered their
arguments using their own style of rhetoric, so that more than once a
large number of companions had to ask him to explain what he had
said. So he's companions. If you look in the second period,
obviously, the reporter she, so they speak a certain dialect of
Arabic, but then people will come into to Mecca, or when he was in
Medina, you have different groups of people speaking different
dialects of Arabic, either in Medina or passing through a Medina
and you would speak to them in their language. And so the Qureshi
Sahaba, who weren't familiar with those dialects, they would ask him
what did you mean by that? What does that mean? The Prophet
sallallahu Sallam explained to them what he had said, Whoever
studies his Hadith and biography
You will know that and verify that he says, the way he spoke to the
Quraysh. The answer that people have the hijas in the nudged was
not the same as the way he spoke to. And then he mentioned, voter
Beshara Hamadani.
Handy pattern ignore Hadith, or Lamy, Ash F ignore pace, while
included kindy and others from among the chiefs of Hadramaut.
Hadramaut is
in the in Yemen. It's, it's the desert in Yemen, South of the
Arabian Peninsula, and the kings of Yemen he says here.
And then for the eighth here, he goes on to partially quote,
some of the letters of the prophets of the Lord, he said them
the correspondences that he wrote or had dictated to the various
tribes and kings. And it really doesn't come across the Arabic
doesn't quite
come across here, because it's obviously an English English
translation. But it's an interesting section, we're not
going to go into it too much. We do want to look at some of the
Hadith however.
So he continues to say called the Ariad, he says, And his point
about all of this is that the Prophet salallahu Salam, he used
the vocabulary of these particular people, as well as their stylistic
metaphors and common expressions, employing this language with them
so that they could make what they had revealed.
For them clear, so that he could make what had been revealed for
them clear to the people, and in order to speak to the people in a
way that they would recognize.
So this goes back to the the idea that we quoted in past classes so
little Nahal
su Surah, number 16, verse 144, indeed we set down upon you, a
vicar, the reminder the Koran lead to beginner leanness, man, zealot
lay him,
in order for you to make by yon in order for you to clarify and
explain to the people what has been revealed to them.
Right.
So, it is part and parcel of the vocation of the prophets of Allah,
the salam to make Bejan to make clear to explain the message of
the Quran to the people.
And of course, there's a famous Hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam as well known, where he said I was given Giovanni oil Kellen wa
Jawaharlal Hickam
I was given incredibly comprehensive and eloquent speech,
containing jewels of wisdom. Right. So one of his companions
actually described him.
And he said that the Prophet salallahu Salam, he rarely spoke.
But when he did speak, he spoke the truth. So the Prophet was more
Cassie turned in speech, he didn't speak much. But when he did speak,
it was very powerful, was very comprehensive, it was very wise.
We'll give a few examples of that, actually, from the Hadith.
In sha Allah, so far, the area it continues, he says, in the Hadith,
when I already asked for something, the Prophet used a
dialect of Benny Ahmed. That's just another example he gives. The
Prophet salallahu Salam would use the dialect of the tribe that he
was speaking to, and their idiomatic expressions as a way of
honoring that tribe in a way facilitating their fam there their
understanding of the rissalah in the Quran.
As far as everyday speech, famous oratory and famous oratory and his
comprehensive statements, and Maxim's which have been related,
people have written volumes about them, says while they are yet, and
books have been compiled, containing their words and
meanings.
His speech comprises unequaled eloquence, and in incomparable
fluency, it's just this This is shown by such expressions. Now he
gives a list of many, many, a hadith here.
And to demonstrate what he calls this, this unequal eloquence and
incomparable fluency of the Prophet salallahu Salam, we'll
look at a few of these Hadith and then we'll add a few as well in
sha Allah.
So one of the Hadith that he quotes here, is translated here by
Aisha Bewley as a man is with the one he loves. Right? A man is what
the one he loves or a person is with the one that he or she loves
will say, man, because we're going to use it just as a default to
include the female gender as well.
This hadith is a famous hadith is and will hottie out of modal men
have this element
Oh man, I have this look at this hadith. It's very eloquent.
You know, it just kind of rolls off the tongue of the middle
management hub. Very eloquent. It's also a very iconic statement.
very iconic. It's very famous. Right? You hear it once.
And you can to remember it. So it's also easy to remember.
It's also it communicates
an incredible hope.
And is very optimistic. Right? It's also very beautiful. And in
fact, the Sahaba were overjoyed when they heard these words from
the Prophet salallahu Salam, you know, in the context of the
Hadith.
The Bedouin, who came to the Prophet salallahu Salam,
and said, What must I do to become a Muslim and the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam told him about the five are kind of pillars.
Linearly Islam, Allah hums, right? Islam is built upon five, the
shahada and the prayer and as a cart and the Hajj in the fasting.
And then
he said, that's all I'm going to do.
That's it, I'm just going to do the bare minimum.
And then he said, but I love a lot His Messenger
ilani or below or solar, the Prophet said, and I'm in a hub,
Friday person will be will be with the one who he loves. And
obviously, the Sahaba were overjoyed because they love the
Prophet salallahu Salam, without question.
So it was a day of, of great rejoicing for them.
And by the way, it's a hadith. According to them, I had the
theme.
The scholars of Hadith, if a hadith has a grammatical error, or
a grammatical weakness, and the entire hadith is considered to be
weak, if there's a there's going to be some weakness in the Hadith,
because it is, it is well known that the Prophet salallahu Salam
did not speak incorrectly, and that he used the most eloquent and
powerful forms of speech
to communicate the message of the Quran and the message of Allah
subhanho wa Taala
another Hadith I wanted to he doesn't mention it here but it's
very, very powerful Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim look tougher
con la means it's the two best books of Hadith the most
authentic, authentic books of mumble Buhari and Manuel Muslim
for the Prophet sallallaahu Salam he said yes, sudwala to accede,
Rashida will attend a funeral. Oh, can recall earlier Salatu was
Salam, there's a beautiful Hadith.
In fact, your van clever in who
was a former anti Muslim, Dutch politician, whom I just heard
speak,
at the zaytuna College fundraising dinner, has an incredible story,
he converted to Islam.
And now he's touring the world as it were, and telling people his
incredible story is really incredible. By the way. He wrote a
book to recently called apostate
which is
about his journey from Christianity to Islam. And it's a
very interesting book. I highly recommend it. But he actually said
during that lecture, he said that this hadith, the Hadith I just
quoted, had a profound effect on him. Yes, you will add to our
syllabus, shoot order to the funeral, and he actually quoted it
in Arabic. And he did a pretty good job. He's very smart man.
Mashallah.
So the meaning of the Hadith, some of the meanings may suggest the
following, make things easy for people to facilitate things for
people, and don't make them difficult and give people glad
tidings, and don't scare them away. Right is beautiful Hadith.
It's incredibly eloquent. And it displays something called anti
Fettig parallelism, in its meaning. So that is to say that
this hadith has a very strong rhetorical composition.
It is very beautifully grammatically balanced. Right?
And you know, it's I highly recommend people to study all
Muslims, all believers to study some Arabic. You know, it's
difficult but
it's very rewarding. Even if it's once a week or something, just to
sort of, you know, get get some something of the meanings of these
of these words of the Hadith of the Quran. Obviously,
So what we have here is a form two imperative. Yes, zero followed by
a prohibition also informed to. And then again, we have a form to
imperative well by shooter one or two and a few followed again by a
form to prohibition. So the statement is very balanced,
grammatically.
And antithetic parallelism, parallelism means that, that, that
the Hadith has
opposite meanings, to give it further balance, you know, to make
things easy, don't make them difficult. Those are antonyms or
antithetic.
Give people glad tidings and don't scare them away. There's an anti
thetic relationship there as well. So you have got multiple layers of
symmetry,
just with this one statement. It's an incredible statement.
It's also easy to remember. And it's also full of hope, gives
people hope, in the context of this hadith is when the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam he sent I believe it was more I didn't know
Java, so I'm not mistaken. Somebody can correct me.
When he sent him to Yemen,
he gave him these destruct these these instructions to judge people
by the Quran what if I don't find it then but my son now then what
use your intellect and then you'll see the world to see the world as
shooter one or two and a few. Beautiful Hadith.
Just unequal eloquence.
Another Hadith that struck me very personally.
When I began to practice the faith many many years ago, is a Hadith
and was not Akhmed.
This is a famous Hadith it's called hadith of Rama, or Rafi
Mooney are handled from a rough man, it hammelmann Fill out your
humble comb or your Hancom month this summer.
That the most compassionate shows compassion to those who show
compassion, show compassion to those on earth, in the one in
heaven, as it were in no anthropomorphic way, and the one
in heaven will show you compassion.
It's a very, very beautiful Hadith, we noticed that there's a
lot of repetition
in this hadith, and this is a another strong rhetorical device
in Semitic rhetoric. Right? It doesn't mean you know, the initial
audience of the Quran. In the RUSADA of Islam, the initial
audience, the flag bearers are Arabs.
And so, and these are Arabs that are that are extremely gifted with
Arabic with language. Right, and they took pride in their poetry
and there's a surah in the Quran called a schwa. The poets and the
poets were, they were loved and they were feared.
So
the Quran message and the message of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam,
in the first instance is tailored for the Arab in order for the Arab
to believe in the message and then take the message to the rest of
the world.
Obviously, the message of Islam is for everyone, but it's it's the
initial audience, or Arabs. And repetition, as we said, is a very,
very strong rhetorical device in Semitic not just Arabic, in
Semitic rhetoric. So like, like in Hebrew, for example, you have a
lot of repetition, if you read the Psalms,
or if you read the book of Proverbs would these books are
written in Arabic, sorry, in Hebrew,
Aramaic is another Semitic language.
Also
the Akkadian language,
the Epic of Gilgamesh, you know, some of my students will read this
text. That's a long poem and Akkadian written in ancient
Babylon. And you find a lot of repetition, because the audience
are Semites.
And then, what else do we notice about this beautiful Hadith? Well,
the prophet changed the standard syntax, so that the final word of
the first Joomla or or sentence is our rock man. Right? And the
conceptual direct object is the first word of the sentence, which
is in the nominative, rather than in the accusative. I don't know if
that makes sense.
To y'all, but it's a very interesting way of Rafina. Right,
your hammer hammer, rock, man, there's been there's been sort of
there's the unconventional syntax here.
which makes the statement sort of pop out and, and take and have
people take notice of it. It's very eloquently constructed. It's
also beautifully, synonymous, and antithetic as well, and it's
parallelism.
So we have theater humble. The second statement here, humble men
fill up. Your humble is imperative. In the plural show
compassion to those on earth, your honey comb, your humble comb or
your hand, comb, your hand come if it's a spoon, and it's, it's from
the same verb is humble.
But it's a different mood.
of the verb, it's in adjustive. Right? And it has this sense of
purpose, show compassion to those on Earth, so that
the one and heaven as it were, word heaven Somat is, is is in
juxtaposition to all of the earth. So you have that antithetic
parallelism.
And then your hum in it humble. These are juxtaposed.
It's the same verb, but different person and mood. So again, the
statement here is very deep, structurally, it's very
beautifully composed.
It's not poetry.
The Prophet salallahu Salam is not a poet. He's not a shout out.
Right. He has no training in poetry. None of his statements nor
the Koran is considered technically to be poetry. The
Arabs were very familiar, as I said, with poetry and they had 16,
Bihar, they had 16
Ozanne, or they had 16 metres of rhymed poetry in the Quran, does
not fall into any of those categories nor the Hadith. Right?
Quran is in is in a league.
all its own,
does not have it's a it's a souI generous, it's, it's an A, it's in
a category all its own. It's not poetry, but is very, very poetic,
but not technically share. It's not poetry.
Another Hadith that equals here actually, is on page 41. The
translation is, injustice will appear as darkness. On the day of
rising injustice will appear as darkness on the day of rising
in this in the Arabic Zulu Zulu mat, you your multi Yama.
So this is a very beautiful play on words. A beautiful, what's
known as alliteration, right?
The word volume in Arabic means oppression. But zoom Ma means
darkness. It's from the same root
but has different meanings. Although we move on to Matt
yarmulke Yama so oppression or injustice will appear as a
darknesses. It's in the plural on the day of rising and this hadith
is a Muslim. Again, very, very eloquent. very memorable or easy
to remember.
Oh, another one I wanted to mention in this is not mentioned
my father yet, but it is a dua that we shall have memorized is
definitely a dua that you should have memorized and especially
during Ramadan, which is coming up in sha Allah.
This is a a dua of the prophets of Allah we send them that he would
recite
during the last odd nights. The last third of the month of Ramadan
Allahumma iimak affluent people the Alpha flag for me
in this
is recorded in the hadith of Imam activity.
So if you look at this hadith, again, you have Alliteration
is beaut it's a beautiful and seamless alteration of parts of
speech. Allahumma Inaka, afternoon afternoon is an active participle
to hit well if you love. So the truth by the way, the translation
is Oh Allah, you are the effacer the one who erases or he faces the
sin and you love to the face.
Five for me, so you face for me my sins. That's the meaning of
Hadith.
So ultimately, no caffeine that's an act of cortisol people Alpha.
That's an infinitive noun. Five Romney and now we have a verb,
right? And we don't call this an imperative.
Even though it has the same morphology as an as an imperative,
the reason we don't call it a fear is because
one is speaking to Allah subhanho wa Taala right one is not giving a
command to someone lower than oneself one is, one is speaking to
Allah subhanaw taala. So, this is called a fair follow up, this is
a, a verb of a request, of, of respectful request. But we have
that seamless alteration active participle, you know, is some file
than the muster than the federal
all from the same root, hence the alliteration.
We also have
para Texas with what's known in in English rhetoric is para taxes,
which is also very common in Semitic rhetoric. Para taxes is
one two words or a clause of some sort to sentences are juxtaposed
without using a coordinating conjunction.
So Aloma in the afternoon, Will f1 Oh God, you are the effacer you
love the facing.
Not therefore and then thus, nothing like that. There's no
coordinating conjunction.
And the rhetorical effect of pair taxes is that it makes the words
again sort of pop out, makes it more impactful.
The last one I mentioned here,
from the Hadith, in sha Allah
is the Hadith in Bukhari is a famous Hadith where the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam he said in the field, just study mode of
attention. Indeed, in the body, there is a lump of flesh.
You have Salah hot solar, solar had just said Kulu
is sound that are healthy than the entire body is healthy. We have a
fessor that festival just to Kulu
and if it is corrupt or unhealthy, then the entire the entire body is
unhealthy. I love well heeled caliber.
Indeed it is the heart that called.
So here we have synonymic parallelism. With Moldova, right
and Thailand is explaining what is the muda it is called, you have
antithetic parallelism, but the verb saw the hat and facet that
healthy, unhealthy. You also have something called concentric
composition, concentric composition, also known as the
chiasm. In this short statement, it's like a big circle. It's
really incredible.
So the first line near is the fourth line.
The fourth line explains the first line what is the model it is the
heart. So these two lines
near each other a and a prime. And then the second and third line.
They also mirror each other they have identical initial terms,
either what either and they have identical final terms couldn't do
who couldn't do it. But they also have antithetical middle terms. So
lahat and faceted.
So multiple level levels of
rhetoric and composition and symmetry. This statement is a is a
nice circular circular composition called the chiasm. In fact, you
have books written by non Muslim scholars of the Koran,
Raymond Ferran,
Michel Cuypers, and others.
Raymond Ferran in his book, he says that the surah baqarah is one
big chiasm and the Bacara 286 verses.
And this in the center, usually a chiasm.
Doesn't have to, but usually a chiasm will have a center of
focus. And he says that the center of an Bacara is versus to 141 to
157, I believe. And right at the center of that center, you have
okay Danica Martin Wasaga.
Indeed, that Allah subhanho wa Taala made you a middle nation.
And that's actually verse 143, right in the middle of 286 of
Bukhara, the center of the chiasm. According to Raymond Ferran, who
was a professor at UC Berkeley, or has his degree from PhD from
Berkeley Near Eastern Studies, but he wrote this incredible book on
how Al Baqarah is one big chiasm
if you think about this,
Prophet sallallaahu Salam is not writing down the Quran. But he's
receiving these ayat.
And so, you know, how did he know where to put these different ayat
to maintain this chaotic structure?
You know, was he keeping all these ayat in his head? And you know, I
have to put this here. And then what about these two, so he's
doing that with Bacara. He's also doing that with NMAT Yoda.
Michelle Piper says that Matt ADA has an incredible rhetorical
structure, you order an entire book on unmatted. It's called the
banquet just unsuited to Magadha. And how it's an incredible ocean
of symmetry. So he's doing that in his head and ENISA and out of all
of these are just in his head, and he's able to, he's able to know
where to put, you know, these ayat.
And also with this, with this hadith about the heart, it's a
double entendre.
Right. So that the condition of the physical heart is generally a
good indicator of overall health. I don't think any doctor would
dispute that statement. A general indicator, if the heart is good,
and overall health tends to be good, and vice versa, but also
also the condition of the spiritual heart. Right? If it is
healthy, then that's a good indicator. That one's overall
spirituality is healthy as well.
It's a very interesting study of these Hadith rhetorical analysis,
Semitic rhetorical analysis of the statements of the Prophet
salallahu Salam.
And then he goes on to say that there's much more besides this,
that various groups of people have related about his words,
conversation speeches, supplications comments and
contracts. There's no disagreement about the fact that in these
things, he occupied a station beyond compare. He obtained a
preeminence in them which cannot be properly estimated.
His unique sayings that no mouth had ever uttered before also have
been compiled. No one can ever do them justice.
His companion said to him, we do not find anyone more eloquent,
more eloquent than you. He said, How could it be otherwise the
Quran was revealed on my tongue in a clear Arabic tongue. Another
time he said, I am the most eloquent of the Arabs, since I am
from Polish and was brought up by the Danny side.
So
children who are raised in the desert
because the Bedouin spoke the best Arabic, the most eloquent Arabic.
So the Prophet salallahu Salam, not only has that incredible
intellect he has, he has walkie descending upon him from Allah
subhanho wa taala. But he was also raised among the many side the
Bedouin. So the first Arabic that he was hearing,
was extremely eloquent.
This gave him the strength and purity of the desert, along with
the eloquence of expressions of the city and beauty of His words.
This was all combined with the divine support, which accompanies
revelation, which no mortal can comprehend. Remember the Hadith we
quoted? The last class we had a few weeks ago, when the man back
near the Prophet system burger Siddiq. During the hijra, they
stopped at a small village and this old woman was there and she
met the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
are bad. She says that the Prophet was sweet and speech distinct
without using too few or too many words. It was as if his speech
consisted of threaded pearls. He had a loud voice, which was very
melodious, so nobody uses them.
So that is the
end of Section Five.
Looking forward, there's only three more classes after this. And
I do want to get to some of the rest of the chapter here. So I
invite you to read sections,
six through 11. But I'm going to go to section 12. Now,
this is on page 54, section 12.
Since we're still in chapter two, but it's section 12, and this is
called his forbearance, long suffering and pardon.
So he begins by saying forbearance long suffering,
pardoning in spite of having the power to punish and patient
endurance and affliction are distinct from each other. So he's
going to
define these terms what is Helmer what is forbearance? What is it
man? What is long suffering in
What is Southern Brazil Africa? What is patience and pardoning. So
he says that forbearance for him is a state of dignified bearing
and constancy despite provocation, someone is being provoked. Right?
And they, and they don't give in, they stay dignified. That's Helen.
long suffering. ft Mal is self restraint and resignation in the
face of pains and injuries. So while one is suffering, Sabra is
similar to it but its meaning is slightly different. He says As for
pardoning, it is refusing to hold something against someone else,
you know, sort of forgiving and forgetting, as it were.
Of course, that's related to the Hadith we quoted Allahumma Enoch
afternoon.
That Oh ALLAH Indeed you are the effacer right. So Allah is Allah
offer, mentioned this distinction in the past, and law federal, the
one who forgives afar or really forgives, I look for these are
both, they all mean all three of these terms mean forgiveness, the
latter two are very emphatic.
lafora has a meaning to cover something. But Africa has a
meaning to a to a race it completely a face it, to take it
out of existence.
So he says all of these qualities are part of the identity with with
which Allah endowed His Prophet.
He says, so Allah speaks to the Prophet sallallaahu Salam in the
Quran, he's going to quote Surah two out off, verse 199. So chapter
seven, verse 199, horrible Afla hold tight to pardoning, hold
tight, hold faster, forgiving and forgetting.
Why, what more are better off and command to the correct command to
the good.
What I need to Johannine and turn away from the ignorant turn away
from them. So you can imagine what kind of ignorance just average
believers here
on a daily basis, whether it's in person or on TV or on the
internet.
So ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada here is telling the Prophet salallahu
Salam, just ignore them, walk away from them, turn away from them.
It is related that when this was revealed to the Prophet salallahu,
salam, he asked you bill to interpret it for him. Gibreel told
him wait until I asked the one who knows, he left and came back and
said to him, O Muhammad, Allah commands you to unite yourself
with those who cut you off. It's very difficult for people, right,
someone cuts you off someone severs ties with you.
It's very difficult to be the better person.
Because you think well, if I do that, then I've admitted I'm wrong
or something or
I'm going to be humiliated in that person's eyes, whatever it may be.
So this is very, very difficult. Unite yourself with those who cut
you off and give to those who refuse to give to you, and pardon
those who are unjust to you.
So this is a very difficult thing to do. And this is why the the
character of the Prophet is magnanimous is exalted in Mecca
Allah who took in all the
because these are these are very difficult for people who have ego
issues, almost impossible for people who have ego issues people
that
are self aggrandizing people who,
who think of themselves more important than they really are.
Mega, mega maniacal people.
A lot of told him was spear Alhama are sawbuck. Be patient be
steadfast in the face of what afflicts you?
Right, what spirit come as sobre asmin you know, Russell and
another iron these are coded here by Kadir yet be steadfast as those
of us as those of resolution among the messengers are steadfast.
Right the messengers of resolve oodle Azumino Rasul, we mentioned
those
earlier, these are the five great messengers of God that greater law
bearing or law giving messengers of God. New Haile Salam, Ibrahim
Ali Salam. Musa alayhis salam and recited to them the prophets of
the Lord. He said them
that if you look at these five prophets,
they went through tremendous affliction and hardship and they
stayed. They stay patient and resolute.
I mean, if you look at
But he might as
you know, his his father,
although there's a difference of opinion, as we said, but as are
probably his paternal uncle wasn't idolaters he put his father
biological father his wallet probably died when he was very
young didn't have a father. But he said he said I'm didn't have a
father.
Because Allah Subhana Allah, Allah created him in a miraculous
fashion. New scientists and and did not know was my biological
father, the Prophet sallallahu sallam was an orphan,
never met his father at all, his mother died when he was six years
old. His grandfather died when he was eight. And that's just
starting out life. You know?
And then you think about what happened during the lives of these
prophets.
So, you know, we're reminded of the Hadith that if Allah loves the
people who will try them, right, and that the most severe of
tribulations came to the prophets, and those closest with them.
Those are prophets. So if something happens to a prophet,
some sort of mercy, but it's not because a prophet has has
deliberately disobeyed Allah subhanho wa taala, it is
inconceivable for a prophet to do that. Because the Prophet has Esma
there's a type of divine protection
prevention from Allah subhanho wa taala.
So if there's some sort of masiva, it is to raise that profit in
degrees, and also for that profit to teach humanity how to react to
such situations, but for nonprofits, for you and I, if
these things happen in our lives, it could be a type of punishment.
So what we have to do is a type of Maha Sabha or self audit, to try
to determine why are these things happening, and we need to make
adjustments in our lives.
So generally, if something like that happens to you, you should
take it as a type of
punishment and and correct rectify your behavior.
And have a good opinion of Allah subhanaw taala because that's a
good thing. Punishment is a way that you that he purifies us, and
in a way too, in a way of provoking Koba and changing our
lives. Right. So it's a subtle type of mercy, actually, when you
think about it, and then when it happens to other people, we
shouldn't assume that they're being punished, right, that we
should treat people
with, you know, have a good opinion of people and assume that
that allows for kind of what the other is raising their degrees.
And if it is a punishment, then have a good opinion that this
person will
recognize what they're doing and they'll they'll make Toba and in
and correct their behavior
that he quotes here. He says he's quoting Katie, part of the Iowa
22. us with a new well, yeah, for a while, yes, federal.
So pardon them, let them pardon.
Let them pardon and let them overlook right.
So while Yeah, for in Arabic, this land here is called Lamb Amara. So
the verbs here are in the Justice mood. So this has sort of the
effect of a third person imperative, right that it's
expected of us to pardon and overlook. And then Allah says,
hola to hip guna and your foot Allahu Eun Jung said Hola Hola,
como.
Do you not love that Allah will forgive you? Will Allah have
afforded Rahim? Allah is Forgiving, most forgiving and and
Rahim merciful, compassionate,
intimate, intimately loving
the one who was steadfast and forgives that is part of the
resolution of affairs.
The results of this and then on the Ariad he says the results of
this of his forbearance and longsuffering are quite evident.
Every man with forbearance is known to have occasional lapses.
The profit however was only increased instead fatness
steadfastness with the injury to him was great and was only
increased in forbearance when faced with an excess of fortunate
people.
So
he would become more and more patient with people the more they
quote annoyed him which is exactly the opposite of of what you would
expect with someone
You know that hadith in Bukhari?
When the man came and said, I will see me, like, advise me counsel
me, in the prophets of Allah, they send him said to him that tells
about Don't get angry. And the man for whatever reason, he said, I
will see me, counsel me,
in the province Allah talked about,
and then again, our city, council me and the,
the relator of the Hadith, Abu Huraira. He said, For the neuron
that he could, he said this over and over and over again
to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and he said very calmly, he would
just respond, lead tough love, don't get angry.
I just said, this isn't
Hardy and Muslim, have you dealt with the messenger of allah
sallallahu sallam was not given a choice between two matters, that
he chose the easier of the two, as long as it was not a wrong action.
But if it was a wrong action, he will be the furthest of people
from it. The Messenger of Allah did not take revenge for himself
unless the honor the format of Allah was violated, then he will
take revenge for the sake of Allah.
It is related that when the Prophet had his tooth broken and
his face cut on the day of loss, what offered, right so he had a
ruptured lip, he chipped a tooth. He actually had a lacerated
forehead and there was
he sustained a cut to his his, his cheek here, because the chainmail
had penetrated his cheek and it was blood flowing, just basically
flowing down his face.
He says he was practically unbearable for the companions.
They said if only you would invoke a curse against them.
Right, he replied, I was not sent to curse, but it was sent to the
summoner and a mercy. And then he made a famous statement. Allahu
MADI economies in the Himalaya, Allah mon O Allah guide my people
for they don't know. Allah magical me. So in the books of Sera, it
actually says that the Prophet was
catching the blood with his hands, preventing the blood from striking
the earth. And he was like absorbing the blood with his
clothes. So the companion said, Why are you doing that? And he
said, of one drop of my blood should strike the Earth. And then
immediately, the RAF would descend upon the Quraysh, these people who
are fighting against us.
So for the Sahaba, that was a bit strange, we were fighting against
them.
Let the blood flow. And then they saw him a short time later with
his hands raised and they heard him say a lot and he thought more
he now he's going to curse them. And he said, alumasc defoaming
Allahu Madie phonies, enormous ly animal, oh God guide my people for
they don't know.
You know, there's something similar, attributed to isa lace
and I'm in the Gospel of Luke,
and Luke chapter 23. We're told that when he saw the salam,
according to the Gospel of Luke, when he was being crucified, He
said, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
And I've studied the New Testament.
extensively for years, I have a master's degree
in New Testament, did my PhD dissertation on the Gospel of
John, so very familiar with with the textual history of the New
Testament, and I'll tell you this, that that passage I just quoted
from Luke, that's chapter 23, verse 34, is now universally
regarded as a fabrication to the text of the Gospel of Luke.
That I mean, at least
according to the dominant opinion of our lemma was, was nowhere near
across to begin with. The Christians believed that he was
crucified
for various reasons.
Although even in earliest Christianity, there was a
difference of opinion and this is historically documented.
But
in Luke's gospel, that statement, that Father forgive them, for they
know not what they do, is now universally accepted by New
Testament textual critics as being a later fabrication to the text
of the Gospel of Luke.
It is related that Omar said to him, my mother and another thing
is even if even if Christians want to say no, it's authentic, and He
forgave them while he was being killed by
Then, well that shows a strong type of character from from Isa de
Sudan.
But compare that to the, the conquest of Mecca. And he's going
to get into that actually, when the Prophet salallahu Salam is in
a position of power to punish them.
And he forgives them in a position of power. He doesn't forgive them
while he's powerless while he's being killed, right? I mean,
that's also
a demonstration of magnanimous character. Don't get me wrong, of
course it is. But imagine being in a position of power over your
enemies and forgiving them.
It's just a more exalted or higher level of magnanimity, I think
it's related from that Omar said to him, said to the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, my mother and father to your ransom, a messenger
of Allah Rouhani Salam invoked a curse against his people when he
said, but the latter half of the menial caffeine a day era, my
Lord, do not leave even one of the rejecters upon the earth. Had you
invoked a curse like that against us? We would have been destroyed
to the last man. He says.
Your back had been trodden on your face had been bloodied and your
tooth has been broken and yet you have refused to utter anything but
good. You'd have said Oh ALLAH forgive my people for they don't
know. So there's a different version of the same statement of
the prophets have a lot he sent them that he either said Allahu
Madico me or Allah who is officially called me.
Oh Allah guide my people or ALLAH forgive my people, for they don't
know.
So I remember one time years ago, and I'll end with this story.
Years and years ago, we had a Holika in the masjid on Friday
nights. And there was a Christian brother who visited us we had
Christian brothers come
once in a while, you know, one of the one of the brothers at the
Molson brothers in the MSA, you know, he, some Christian guy would
come and he would invite him to the Holika. Anyway, so there's
Christian brother at the Holika. And he was there, and he was
asking some,
some, you know, difficult type questions and but he was very
respectful.
You know, he was he was
he was trying, not trying to disrespect us at all. He was
trying to get real clarification on issues. Most of the issues were
theological things.
And so
I remember in the course of the discussion, a man came into the
masjid and he listened for about two minutes. And then he said, you
know, these, these kofod, you know, they, their hearts are
sealed and their ears are deaf, and their eyes are blind, and this
type of thing that in the brother, the Christian brother, he was, he
was, he was like, What was he talking about? You talking about
me? And so we had to reassure the brother that, you know, he's,
he's, that's his opinion. And we don't share that, that opinion. I
mean, he was there for a few minutes. And this was this man's
judgment about this, this Christian guy. I mean, he had
basically, you know, his, his threshold of Henman was 510
minutes. And when you compare that to the Prophet salallahu Salam,
who's dealing with machete Cain, who are trying to kill him
actively for 20 years, and he doesn't give up on them, right.
And, by the way, yet he actually
relates the story of
Abu Soufiane from the Prophet salallahu Salam
continue to address with respect.
After 20 years of fighting, and eventually Abu Soufiane became
Muslim. And then the Prophet recognize his chieftaincy in
Mecca, and said mantequilla Mandela, beta Avi Soufiane. For
that airman, whoever enters the house with Abby, Sophia and is
safe. He had this announced during the conquest of Mecca.
So that's the difference between our threshold or limit of helm or
forbearance. Again, forbearances is being able to be dignified in
the face of provocation. And the prophets have a lot of synonyms
forbearance when you have Mushrikeen actively trying to kill
him and have killed his companions and members of his bait and bait.
And he continues
to show them respect and dignity and they become Muslim eventually.
So we can take a lesson from that obviously
so
think at this point
we'll end the class.
So we got about halfway through section 12 here so we'll continue
with this section inshallah to Allah next week. Thank you for
joining us. And we'll see you next time in sha Allah to Allah.
Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
I like
to
welcome to our next session. This is a session number eight
of the tableau Schiefer.
Part one, chapter two, this is the middle of section 12.
And this is
section 12, which is called
the hem the HTML and the AF well the purpose of allottee Salam
forbearance along suffering and the pardon.
started that last time. So we are
on page in my translation here, which again is an older edition.
This is
page 55.
right towards the bottom here,
when a man said to the Prophet salallahu Salam act fairly.
So, this is a Hadith there's multiple versions of this hadith.
And Muslim and Buhari very happy
man comes to the Prophet salallahu Salam and according to the
commentators, this is
after the Battle of remain.
And he said to the Prophet salallahu, Salam arrogated in
Mecca ideal so be just for indeed you are not just
on another version of the Hadith act fairly this this is a division
by which the face of God is not desired.
And then, all the Ariadne mentioned here, the Prophet did
not go further than making it clear to him how ignorant he was
in varnishing and reminding him
what he had said to him.
And then the Prophet said to him,
way, like for man, yeah, I didn't even I didn't, like Woe unto you
or confound you, who will be justified, I am not just
and
I would fail and be lost if I did not act fairly. Then he restrained
one of his companions who wanted to attack this man because the
man's hypocrisy had been manifested.
So this man and his companions
Well, the the, one of the versions of Hadith continues with the
prophets of Allah the centimeter this man and his companions, they
recite the Quran, but it does not go past their throats.
Right, so many of the elements say here that the Prophet alayhi salam
is prophesizing, the helot edge the car giants. Some of the
commentators also mentioned that this man actually would be worth
join the helot edge. Of course, the homage, as we know, was the
first sectarian in the history of Islam.
The high wattage were very exclusivist, there were two
theories.
They considered anyone who did not believe exactly as they believe to
be kofod. And not only that, they would consider them to be
you know, apostate so they would kill them and they would take
their possessions oftentimes they even kill their families.
So the hadith is here, teaching us about
the Prophet sallallahu, sillens forbearance, even under such
circumstances where there's there's outright disrespect to
them in public in front of the other companions. And the profits
of the licen
are there yet he says he did not go further than making it clear to
him ignored, he was admonishing and reminding him
Okay, so that's
it, and then he continues as a hadith.
While he says, well, tea and some of the other people were talking
about the rate of that will Riccar undertook to assassinate the
Messenger of Allah.
He found him sitting alone under a tree.
So
the Prophet salallahu Salam did not stop until he was standing
over him. The province livestorm did not stop him until he was
standing over him with an unsheath the sword in his hand. So this man
is able to
enter into the Muslim camp, and he has a sword in his hand and he
walks up to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam directly up to him.
The Prophet here according to this version of the Hadith, the prophet
sees him
hold time did not stop him. He walks right up up to him. And the
man says to the Prophet to have to half loony Do you? Are you afraid
of me? Do you fear me? The Prophet said lap? No. And then the man
said,
many of Metro community, so who's going to protect you from me?
And the prophets of Allah? Of course, Allah subhanho wa Taala
says in the Quran, Allah yeah, see mocha Mina, Nas, that God will
protect you from the people.
And then he continues, the sword fell from his hand and the Prophet
grabbed it and said to him, Well, Manya neroca Me and who is going
to protect you from me?
And then the man said, punish in the best manner.
And so the Prophet left him and pardoned him. So this is clearly
an attempted assassination and attempted attempt, an attempted
attempt on the life of the prophet Sallallahu Sallam attempted murder
of the Prophet salallahu Salam.
And the Prophet sallallaahu Salam, he pardoned him and he came to his
people. This man eventually came to his people. And he said, Joe
called me and he said, in that I've come to you, I have come to
you from the best of people, and Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim.
One of the major reports about his pardoning and his parting the US
was his porting of the US who had poisoned him with the sheep after
she had confessed to the poisoning this hadith is
mentioned also in Muslim I believe. So those of us who've
been in a year, who had
poisoned the sheep and offered and invited some of the companions,
including the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and he, the prophet ate
some another companion did named official.
Eyebrow aebischer, I believe was his name and, and Bharat died from
it. The Prophet sallallaahu Salam.
He
said that the meat is telling me that it's been poisoned. And then
according to a call the or yet he pardoned her.
The area then mentions that he did not punish libido
who was apparently a black magician or a sorcerer or some
sort, who use magic serum against him, although he was informed
about it, and it was revealed to him with an explanation of what
had happened. This is disputed.
Because it seems to contradict the verse in the Quran will not be
ASIMO Kameena Ness, the verse I quoted earlier, that a lot of kind
of what Allah will protect you from humanity. But the people of
Sierra they mentioned this story of the bead, a little item, or the
area he mentions, nor did he punish ability and obey another
hypocrites in spite of the seriousness of what they had done
and said about him,
and his wife, Aisha, so a bullet even obey was one of those who
started the the risk to lie with a bulletin, the slander the calumny
against her mother, Aisha Radi Allahu the unknown, rather local
Anna.
On the contrary, he said that the person who indicated
that one of them should be killed, he said, No, let it not be said
that Mohammed kills his companions.
Even though those were mafia Kuhn, right. And they were more
unethical in the real sense of the word. Right there. They were
pretending outright to be Muslims.
You know, you have there's an element of NIFA or hypocrisy among
among Muslims in general, but they're not. They're not absolute
when asiyah have been
brought to these obliterated mental Bay and his and his cohort.
These are literally fake Muslims. But the Prophet sallallaahu Salam
did not want people to think that he was he was killing believers or
killing people killing his companions, people would not
believe the Muslims if they said, Well, these these are Manasa pain,
these are infiltrators.
These are people who are trying to corrupt the OMA from within. These
are people who are sowing seeds of sedition and treason and so on and
so forth.
It doesn't the optics don't look good, if if you were to do that.
So it's important to,
to not do that. And I said, I was with the Prophet salallahu Salam,
when he's wearing a thick cloak.
Of course, this is the famous story a Bedouin can't uphold him
so violently by the edge of the cloak, minimum mark on the side of
his neck. So there was an inflammation on the side of the
neck of the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
There's a hadith that says when when, second
when second idea, Jehovah, Jehovah, that whoever Whoever
dwells in the desert, or lives in the desert
comes a little bit rough or gruff.
Right? So this Bedouin, they're a little rough. And he came in and
he grabbed the cloak,
the border of the cloak of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and
pulled him very violently. And an NSA we can see inflammation on his
neck.
And he said, Mohamed, let me load up these two camels of mine with
the property of Allah that you have in your possession, Yan,
Mohammed moto Li, Ming, Malli, la la the attack.
And the Prophet was silent. And then he said, The property is a
property of Allah and I'm a slave. Then he said, Shall I? Shall I
take retaliation from you, oh, Bedouin, for, for what you have
done to me? And he said, No.
And the Prophet said, why not? The better one said because you do not
pay back and evil action with an evil action or you don't pay back
evil with an evil with an evil.
And this is a great quote on a comparative, right, the famous
ayah in the Quran Chapter 41 Verse 34,
in which a lot to kind of want to address as well that's a stool
hassle that will say, yeah, good and evil are not the same.
A different ability here acid, Repel evil with something better.
So even though the Bina Kobina, who had our two inch volume have
him and then you will see the one between him and you was enmity
become as it were they intimate companion.
So don't repay evil with an evil or bad action with a bad action.
And the Prophet laughed and ordered that one candle be loaded
up with barley and the other channel with the dates and the
Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim. So two camels.
The equivalent of that today is like two pickup trucks, full of
food. Right?
I just said, I never saw the Prophet salallahu Salam ever take
revenge for an injustice done to him, as long as it was not
regarding one of the orders of Allah which must be respected.
He never struck anyone with his hand at all, except when doing the
jihad in the way of Allah. You never hit a woman or a servant,
Bukhari and Muslim. Of course, Jihad here is in the context of,
of a, of a military expert exposition expedition.
That is obviously called by the head of state, and that is the
province of allottee. So them or the, the head of a Muslim state,
it's not vigilante justice, or any faction or group that decides to
declare a type of jihad.
And it said something similar to this as well. But it's coming from
the wife of the prophets of the Lottie center, meme yield
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam beard, he che and pat in the
anugerah. He refused to believe
that the Prophet did not strike anything with his hand, except in
a military expedition expedition or a battle.
And even to me, he said, if even if you look at all the battles of
the Prophet salallahu Salam, all of them have a defensive component
to them a defensive component to them.
Then as she continues in she specific he did not hit a lamb he
did not hit
a servant or a child, he did not hit a woman
and man was brought to him and he was told this man wanted to kill
you.
So continuing with the photography, the Prophet said Have
no fear even though you wanted to do this. You would not have been
given power over me.
This hadith is on top Ronnie Imam Ashford
next year called the Yad he mentions the story of
a matinee Jew name is eight even with Santa
came to him demanding came to the Prophet demanding that the Prophet
we pay him a debt
and he pulled his garment from his shoulder sees hold of him and
behaved very coarsely with the profits a lot. He said, um, and he
said,
Nothing whatsoever but you, you are procrastinating and Irma was
able to chase him off.
And I spoke very harshly with him. The Prophet merely smiled. And the
Prophet said or Mater he had made he and I needed something else
from you commanded me to repay well and command him to ask for
his debt Well,
right. And then he said I still owe him three and Omar commanded
that he'd be paid, and he added a 20 PSA, like 20 handfuls of barley
more since he had alarmed him or scared him
and that according to zetes jexpo
nation was the reason for him becoming Muslim. So Zaid, later he
said that there were only two remaining signs of prophethood,
which I had not yet recognized in the Prophet salallahu Salam, or
noticed forbearance, overcoming quick temper gnus and extreme
ignorance, only increasing him in forbearance.
So he said, I tested him for these and they found him as described.
So in other words, the Prophet sallallaahu Salam became angry
very, very slowly. But when he did become angry, it was very
tempered, and then it left him very quickly.
And so those were the science that that is meant any Jew was looking
for before he can accept the Prophet salallahu Salam as the
prophet
while the Ariad he goes on to say that the Hadith about his
forbearance patience and pardon,
in spite of having power to punish are too many to present.
Those we have mentioned should be sufficient. They can be found in
the Saheeh collections and other reliable books transmitted by many
paths of transmission.
They deal with his patience in the face of fallacious harshness and
the injury done to him and the Janelia in his endurance with
great hardship, hardships at the hands of the corporation until
Allah let him conquer them and gave them power over them.
They did not doubt that they would be wiped out in their wealthy men
killed, but he kept on pardoning and overlooking.
He said, What do you say I have done to you. So now he's talking
here about and we've talked about this a few times in the past, to
the conquest of Mecca, the mecca for the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
comes in back into Mecca, from Medina after he was forced to make
higit off and the Quraysh kept giving him no peace. Multiple
attacks or raids on the oasis of Medina, the over the holidays are
joined forces with the Bedouin tribes in the merged they were in
cahoots as it were with the Manasa clean in Medina itself as well as
some elements of the bunnies in the Jewish tribes that were in
Medina. So eight nine years of, of actively trying to basically
eradicate the entire
Muslim community in Medina. So the Prophet salallahu Salam he
eventually marches on Mecca as we know and he says that what do you
think I should do to you and they said You are good generous brother
and a good nephew and he said I will say as my brother use of said
Lucha Libre Ali como yo, yo, yo for the local that so here the
Prophet salallahu Salam is quoting from the Quran. This is the
statement in the Quran, attributed to use of finding Salam. When
Yusuf Ali Salam, obviously we know his story, when he was thrown into
the well by his brothers,
his 10 Brothers really, and he was taken as a slave into Egypt. And
then he eventually became
the vizier of the Pharaoh,
the Minister of Agriculture, according to some,
and then,
and then his brothers come into Egypt from Canaan, because there
was a famine in Canaan. And then, when He identifies Himself,
He says to them without Tiffany but Alec moody of this this day,
there is no blemish upon you know, reproach will be upon you. God has
forgiven you. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he quotes this
verse, which is a sort of use of AI and number 92.
To the Quraysh during the conquest of Mecca, it says, go when you are
free.
And then he mentions here and is it nomadic, he said that eight men
from 2018
Change the dawn prayer with the intention of killing the profits
of the law, they said
they were seized and the profits set them free.
And Allah revealed who under the Kapha ADEA home ankle.
This is a suburban muzzle of the Iowa chapter 48 Verse 24.
He is the one who restrained their hands from you.
Sati visit Muslim Abu Dawood, Timothy and others. When Abu
Sufian was brought to him after he had brought the Confederates
against him, killed his uncle and companions and made a punitive
example of them. The Prophet forgave him and was gentle to him.
He said, confound you abolition Fiat? Isn't it high time that you
knew that there is no God but Allah.
And then Abu Sufyan said, my father and mother be your ransom,
how forbearing and generous you are maintaining ties of kinship.
So the Prophet said a lot he said them did not give up on Abu Sufian
Diplo hug. Abu Sufian, remember is the leader
of the Meccans. And he was the,
the the leader of many military campaigns against the Sahaba
against the Prophet salallahu Salam against Medina.
And the point here that Claudia yet is making
is that
even towards Egan after years and years of attempting to kill the
profits of the Lottie, Sydenham, and killing many companions, and
many members of added bait, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he
still spoke to him in a way that was respectful invited him to the
faith. And this very much surprised at least with Yan.
And eventually, he did become Muslim.
And then he says here, the Messenger of Allah was the slowest
person to anger and the easiest to please.
So that's the end of section 12.
Now, section 13.
These sections don't need a lot of
a lot of commentary, I think what are the area mentions here really
speaks for itself. So section 13 has generosity and liberality. As
for generosity, benevolence, magnanimity and liberality. They
too have different meanings. Some people divide them into different
branches. They say that the Netherlands or cut them is to
spend cheerfully and what is important and useful.
They also call it courage and the opposite of baseness. liberality
is to forego what one is owed by others cheerfully so for going out
debt does the opposite of ill nature and magnanimity is to spend
easily and to avoid acquisition of what is not praised. And it's the
opposite of tight festiveness.
So he says here, the prophet had no equal in these noble qualities
and no one exceeded him in them.
All who knew him would describe him so
even when Cadet heard Javid, Hammond Abdullah say, a messenger
of Allah also the lobby senator was not asked for anything to
which he said no or
an MSF pneumatic and sadly been sad made similar reports. It's
mentioned in Buhari
and it's a dramatic he said that the only time I heard the prophecy
law was when he was saying, let you let her in law
in advance, said the Prophet salallahu Salam was the most
generous of people and giving gifts and the most generous of all
in the month of Ramadan
when he met Jabril, Ali Salah
he was more generous than even the wind which is sent forth that's a
famous Hadith you'll find that many books of Hadith but it comes
from Bukhari and Muslim and I said that a man asked him for something
and it gave them all the sheep between two mountains the man
returned to his people and said become Muslim Mohammed gives gives
the gift of a man who does not fear poverty
think there's a problem here. There we go.
I'm sorry about this lighting today. Strange. We're probably
going to end a little bit early this session I'll be just go
another five minutes because I'm having some technical difficulties
here.
He continues
he gave 100 camels to more than one person you give someone 100
than 100. And then 100. This had been his character since before he
was entrusted with the message wonderful but no fool told him.
You they're all in the change what others are denied. So this was the
attitude, the character the the hook of the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam, even before the message has descended upon Him. This is just
how he was created as a generous person.
He returned the captives of Hawaii who number 6000. He gave up so
much gold that he could not carry it 90,000 deer hems were brought
to him and he placed them on a mat and then got up and distributed
them. He did not turn away anyone who asked him until he had given
them all away.
A man came and asked him for something the Prophet said, I do
not have anything but buy something on my account. And when
I get the money, I will pay for it. So this hadith is opportunity.
And Omar said Allah has not obliged you to do what you're not
able to do. The Prophet disliked that so the man of the InSAR said
messenger of Allah spend that do not fear a lessening from the
master of the throne. The Prophet smiled and a player can be seen in
his face he said I'm commanded to this
was mentioned by it was mentioned that no I would ignore after all,
said I brought the Prophet peace be upon him.
Have a plate of fresh gates and cucumber and he gave me a handful
of jewelry and gold
so that's the end of basically that's the end of section 13
So I think I'm going to stop at this point because there's like I
said, we're having some technical difficulties here.
Like to do
sections probably finish the chapter next time inshallah. So we
have three sessions and then we have two sessions left session
nine and session 10. So we will return inshallah next week,
Wednesday at eight and we'll make a push to finish
chapter two by the end of the 10th attempt session inshallah family

Salam Monica Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Welcome to another session of acquainting ourselves with the
messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam. This
is our ninth session out of 10 Next week is our final session in
sha Allah. And we will end next week in sha Allah in the blessing
month of Ramadan. So I want to wish everyone in early Ramadan
pity.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala make it a month of immense benefit
for us and our families and for
all of the Muslims around the world, as well as all of humanity,
Inshallah, to Allah, the trials and tribulations that we're all
going through.
Due to the pandemic in sha Allah will be
lightened upon us, by our Lord Allah subhanho wa taala.
So we are part one,
this is chapter two, this chapter is called The Prophets perfect
qualities of character.
And we're going to start here with section 17 Insha Allah Allah, so
in my translation, but I have usually this is page 64.
Section 17 is called compassion and mercy.
And of course, this is very important section encompasses or
epitomizes the whole look, the character ethics of the Prophet
salallahu Salam, as I mentioned in the past, record, the famous
hadith of Rama
or Rafi Mori, or from a from a rush man or Hanuman fill order
your hemco Memphis Sama, or your hammock woman this summer, show
that the most benefits of the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
shows mercy to those who show mercy. Show mercy to those on the
earth and the one in heaven and no anthropomorphic sense will show
you mercy.
And we said that this is the Hadith that children learn at five
years old. This is the Hadith that sets the foundation
for their education, Islamic education for this is the Hadith
that first acquaints them with the prophets of the body. So then
because Rama is a great
virtue that we want to cultivate.
So it begins as for compassion, while the area that our Hema home
Allah He begins section 17 asked for compassion, tenderness and
mercy to all creation. Allah said about him. And here he's quoting
again, and the translation here says Sudha Yunus 128, but this is
a Toba. This is a very end of Surah Toba those two beautiful
verses at the very end. Look at the Jet Okumura tsunami and fusi
come in recorded these earlier we recorded them in the past.
He quoted them there for a different reason. But these verses
begin very early there has come on to you a Messenger from among
yourselves and we said and fusi comb is also read as unfussy come
from the from the most notable among you and that ladder reading
is considered a shadow reading it's not multiplayer tested, so
it's not recited in prayer.
It's not considered authentically Quran because it could not be
established through multiple channels but has the strength of a
hadith. And then he says ICS when Allah Hema I need to, so she
translates grievous to him is what you suffer, or it grieves him that
you should perish that you should suffer. So the him here refers to
the Prophet salallahu Salam and then it says
how do you Sona Aliko How do you sort alikhan anxious for you are
deeply concerned et Cie about you mean what meaning are all for
Rahim can
passionate is he merciful to the believers? Right? So that's a
toboe Verse 128, a beautiful idea,
describing the character, the mercy of the Prophet salallahu
Salam
that Allah says, he says here, Marcel NACA Illa Mateen. In
Alameen. We only sent you as a mercy to all the worlds and we
said in previous sessions as well, that this is the quintessential
Prophet illogical verse in the Quran, this is the equivalent of
our John 316. Remember, we said that, whenever a Christian wants
to make a convert,
very quickly, he wants to give him something like, for example, if
he's on the the BART train at a subway, something like that, and
he wants to make some Dawa to a non Christian he'll quote John
316, which is basically
Christian theology or Christology in a nutshell, I would say this is
comparable to that, that this is a beautiful summation of the the
very essence of the Prophet salallahu, Southern Sonata in that
matter, and we said that Allah describes him with announcing
Ramadan, we did not send you except as a mercy, not, we did not
send you except that you might show mercy. He doesn't use a verb.
He describes the Prophet Muhammad 10 and a noun or he must or an
essence in Arabic describes the very nature of that thing that
that's who he is that he is essentially mercy.
Maternal, I mean, what is it? I mean, there's difference of
opinion as to what Liliana means we did not send you as, except as
a mercy to the world's what is the world's mean? Some of them were
first sitting, say the meaning of this is Kulu. Mas see, well law,
everything other than God. In other words, all of creation to
the prophets of allottee. Sydenham is created, but he is sent as a
mercy to the rest of creation, because he's the best of creation.
That he's better than and this is by consensus. He's, he's, he's
greater than the Kaaba, he's, he's greater than the low he's, he's
better than the Arash in the quarter. See, he is the best of
creation. He's better than Jenna.
And then the question arises, if he's better than Jana, then what's
his reward? Right? If he's better than Jenna, what's his reward? How
can he be rewarded with something that is inferior to him? And of
course the answer from the aroma is, well he will get to Jannah.
But he will be in the presence of a loss of kind of what to Allah,
He will enjoy the highest type of union with ALLAH SubhanA what
Allah
so his his gender is Allah subhanho wa Taala and the Jana of
Jana is actually the prophets of Allah you send them that gender
itself is honored by having the Prophet within itself.
So, another
opinion is that an anime needs jinn and it's a fact baleen as
they're called, in the Quran, the two weighty things gin and it's,
so think about the four elements, human beings are made up of the
two elements, water and earth, if you will, and then you have our
counterpart, the jinn, Wind and Fire, right? So they can see us
but we can't necessarily see them but we believe in their, in their
existence. And we believe in the Hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam when he tells us about the jinn. So some modern hermeneutics
of the Quran that wants to sort of
read the Quran through the lens of modern science, there's a few
things you can do with this, but some people take it to extreme
measures and say, well the jinn are actually microbes or something
like that.
Will leave these weird opinions of some of the modernists today and
say, sort of Allah will Adim sadaqa rasool Allah, Allah and His
Messenger know best and Allah subhanho wa Taala as well as well
as the prophets of Allah Ali Salam has described the jinn in numerous
Hadith
and that the jinn are not only have sentience, right, like all
living things, sentience, the Latin word meaning that they feel
things they can sense certain things, right. So even animals
have sentience, they feel pleasure, they feel pain, they
have senses. But here are Alameen means the sentient as well as the
SAP essential beings SAP Ian's which means wisdom, or aka. Right
so here, and Alameen Leela Alameen, according to some of the
exigence means, Jin and it's, in other words, those created
entities that not only have sentience, but
Have Sapiens they have intellect and that the revelation the ye ne
ye the revelation from Allah Subhana Allah to Allah is always
understood through the intellect the intellect is primary. That's
why if if somebody receives the Quran and they don't have sound
intellect they're not responsible to believe in the Quran is you
need an intellect to understand the Quran so the prophets of Allah
the cinnamon is the bridge, if you will, between a basic awareness of
God, it basic awareness of the existence of Allah subhana what's
Allah which many philosophers and theologians argue, is something
that is innate, something that is natural to the human being, any
human being.
Using their intellect, using their mind will come naturally to the
conclusion that there is a singular creator,
to everything.
So the profit then, is a bridge between this this basic natural
awareness of a loss of kind of what's out of that every human
being possesses and a deep Gnosis a deep sort of intimate knowledge
or what we call MADI fi of Allah to kind of what the out of the
Prophet is a bridge between that because he brings us the
revelation that he is the means of the Revelation. So in this sense,
the Prophet salallahu Salam is reimagining al Amin because he's
giving us the ye the Kitab Allah, he's teaching us by example how to
have a deep intimate modified gnosis of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And as we said, Marisa leads to muhabba, to unconditional love and
one when one has unconditional love of Allah subhana wa to Allah.
Then one is saved Inshallah, to Allah, by the Grace of Allah
subhanho wa taala.
Even if one has mistakes in Aveda, now we try our best to correct our
Aveda. And this is something that is important and we shouldn't
downplay. But ultimately, we may say things we may
do certain practices that are actually counter to our tradition
out of ignorance. And that's why we we asked me Toba to also kind
of what to highlight as Allah to forgive our shortcomings. And
ultimately, it is our love of Allah and His messenger that will
save us there's a famous hadith of a man who, who was a senator and
he died before he died. He instructed his two sons by saying
that when I die, cremate my body and then climb to the highest
mountaintop, you can find and scatter my ashes to the wind. And
his son said, why would we do that? And he said, I don't want a
law to be able to reconstruct my body on the young Luca Yama
so that I won't have to stand judgment. Now that is an incorrect
belief. If you believe that Allah also kind of what to Allah does
not have the power to reconstruct your body even after it's been
incinerated and scattered to the wind, then that's cool for that's
technically infidelity. Now, that hadith continues that. This man on
the Yama Yama he was reassembled by Allah Subhana Allah to ALLAH
because ALLAH SubhanA wa to Allah is Allah cada he is omnipotent in
Allah Allah Cooley shaitan Kadir, Allah subhanho wa Taala has power
over all things. So he reconstructed this man. And when
he asked, and Allah knows best, this is for our own edification,
Allah is not asking a question because he doesn't know something.
Or Allah, we could be shaking Aileen Allah to kind of what the
other is certainly omniscient. But when he asked the man Why did you
do that? Why did you instruct your sons to do that? He said, I was
ashamed and alasa kind of what to Allah forgave the man even though
he had this air in his in his Arpita.
So this is something that it's obviously important for us as
Muslims to understand Theology at a deep level. But we have to also
understand that by and large, the
you know, the masses of people, this is not something that's a
priority for them, and we should keep the religion quite simple.
And Islam is is, is a simple religion, not not a religion. For
simple minded people. There's a difference here. But Islam as a as
a basic creed, and salvation in Islam is not a difficult thing.
We'll get more into that
later, but the essence of our theology is our loss. And this is
just a few verses long. And this is what we should teach people.
And unless you're going to be, you know, a discursive theologian or a
polemicist, or something like that.
Or if you just simply have an interest in studying theology at a
deep
level which is certainly possible.
You don't need to get into the debates of the relationship
between the vat of Allah the essence of ALLAH and his SIFAT and
his attributes and in the Kalambo law on created or created,
really this these topics don't enter and don't enter into the
discourse of the vast vast majority of human beings. And the
aroma as aroma we should know and as professors we should know that
we should know that sometimes when we delve into these things, they
could cause actually more confusion amongst the people.
Now we should stick to broad based principles. On who Allahu Ahad say
God is One Allahu Samad lamb yet when I'm you lad God is
independent you did not get nor was he gotten meaning he's not
somehow caused by something he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't make
an effective that's equal to Him. While me a cool little Khufu, and
there's nothing comparable to Allah subhanho wa taala.
So, as we said, the Prophet salallahu Salam, then is that
bridge between the basic knowledge of God awareness of God that is
innate within all human beings, just from the intellect, the mind,
and a deep Marathi for
intimate knowledge leading to muhabba, leading to unconditional
love of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, and that's noodled either
new or quantity MAMARAZZI and others when Allah to kind of what
the Allah says northern Allah newer in Iowa to move to Chapter
24 Verse 35, I believe the meaning of this is not an apple,
Revelation and intellect working together below item. He continues
to recall they are yet he says, part of his excellence is that
Allah gave him to have his own names. So Allah subhanaw taala
gives the prophets of Allah Sydenham to have his own name
saying, Bill, meaning for Rahim and the LMI specify here many of
them are for studying they say this part of the eye is Hoss it's
for the believers because that's what it says Bill meaning for him
but before that, the prophets concern how do you swim Alikum
what is a cobra swim in physical disease when Allah Hema I need to
hurry soon Alikum a Grieveson that you should perish deeply concerned
about you This is more universal This is an AMA this is for all of
humanity. This is all for gently for all of gin and ins but they've
been meaning are all for Rahim. This is for the believers. This is
a special type of concern. Merciful and Compassionate is he
to the believers. And these are two names of Allah subhanho wa
taala. Allah is Allah wolfies or Rahim and notice with Allah
there's definite articles he is the most compassionate He is the
Most Merciful. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam however, is a
reflection of these divine names at a human level. Right so we
should all try to emulate as it were, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah
in His divine qualities, does it make us divine? It makes us
pious believers to holla cobia floppy Allah right, this is a
Hadith there's weakness in the Hadith with the ultimate quoted,
adorn yourself with the qualities of Allah subhana wa Tada. And we
mentioned this before in the past as well many, many are the mine
included including the Mamos Realty and even a jiba and the
marble khazali They've written commentaries on the smell of Allah
subhanaw taala, that the glorious majestic names,
the majestic and Beautiful Names of Allah subhanho wa taala. And
they said that with all of these names, there's a, there's a
there's a human element that we can, there's not necessarily not a
human element there's there's, there's a there's a understanding
of these names that we can appropriate into our lives at a
human level. Right so if Allah so kind of what to Allah is a rush
man, he's rocking, you know, the infinitely Merciful, the
infinitely loving and compassionate we can also be
people of compassion, mercy and love, in a limited, limited human
sense, in that in that way, nearing a loss of kind of what the
island
industry related that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, None of
you should come to me with anything about my companions. For
I do not want to go out to you except with a clear heart. The
hadith is an award and activity that the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam, he wanted us to formulate that Sr. He wanted him. He wanted
to formulate his own opinions about people. Right that he didn't
like this what's known as de la kala. He said she said, what we
would call sort of gossip or hearsay. The prophets of Allah the
salam did not want to hear things about people without going out in
meeting them first and formulating his own his own ideas about the
person
As part of his compassion called the Ariad continues, part of his
compassion towards his community was that he made things easy for
them. He disliked doing things, he disliked doing certain things out
of the fear that they would become obligatory for them. He said,
If I have not been compassionate to my community, I would have
commanded them to use the sea wax where the tooth stick the
toothbrush, if you will, every time they did will do Hadith in
Bukhari, and Muslim. So what he's saying here is that the prophets
of the body southern would sometimes leave certain practices
on occasion, because he knew that if he that if he was unwaveringly
consistent with those practices, and future jurists, Muslim jurist,
the jurists, the folk Aha, would have considered them as far as
obligatory so he wasn't totally consistent in those practices. And
this is from the mercy of the Prophet salallahu Salam. So one of
the things is the use of the sea whacker or the truth stick, that
he would use it quite often but not always. Another thing Ramadan
that's that's mentioned here by the yard Ramadan prayers a total
week. Sometimes he would do those prayers, perform those prayers in
his house and sometimes in the masjid, that he didn't fast every
single day. His dislike of entering the Kaaba itself during
the pilgrimage, lest it become obligatory and become a hardship
for the Ummah
that he would shorten the prayer Father Ariad mentions if he heard
a child crying, and that's the practice that he would do to make
things easier for us.
Aisha said the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam was never given
a choice between two things but that he chose the easier of the
two. Right and this goes back to the Hadith recorder, the beautiful
Hadith we quoted a couple of weeks ago. Yes, you know Allah to ask
you to bless you to Allah to nephew and we looked at some of
the rhetorical structure, the parallel structure of this hadith
and some other Hadith as well, and how they're, they're incredibly
composed beautifully and exquisitely composed
in their syntax, and their rhetorical power. So this hadith,
the translation is something like make things easy for people, and
don't make them difficult, and give people glad tidings and don't
scare people, right. Don't use a scare tactic. If people Glad
Tidings it doesn't mean you know, not to tell people the truth and,
you know, there's there's certainly things that we should be
concerned about the punishment in the grave and the Yeoman Fiamma,
right the the idea of a pub on the hisab on the on the piano and in
the fear of Jahannam and things like that. That's true. But
generally we should be giving people Glad Tidings because
ultimately, the the knowledge of Allah subhana with Abba is a means
of salvation for people and salvation for for our
understanding of salvation is that is that it never ends Holly Dean
if he had a bad day, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, In the Quran about
the denizens of paradise about Jenna that they will eternally
abide or perpetually probably a better translation perpetually
abide there and because nothing is nothing is intrinsically eternal,
nothing has an ID of that T except the loss of kinda wants to Allah
but he gives Jenner
which is a created thing, the quality of perpetuity or
immortality, so he will also give that quality inshallah to Allah to
our souls in Gen NASA that we will continue in perpetuity to live in
Jana,
by the permission, and will of Allah subhanho wa taala.
So, he was easy going right saheliyon hole up, as his
companions have described him easygoing, disposition, even mess
around said, the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam was
careful when He admonished us, fearing he would tire us. And the
hadith is most Muslim and Behati. According to the translator here,
admonished means to teach or to advise or to warn, right?
That he did not want to overwhelm his students, the sahaba.
And this is a mark of a great teacher, a great teacher is very
patient, a great teacher
will knows how to build upon
previous lessons,
doesn't get to the conclusion of things, or to the answer of
questions, even if they're if they're students in the class are
asking questions that are not related completely to the topic or
if you know that the professor is or teacher is speaking about very
basic things, introductory things, and there's a student who wants to
know advance
Certain things, then the teacher knows not to answer the questions
at that time doesn't mean that the teacher doesn't know the answer.
It just means that it's not beneficial at that particular time
to reveal the answer. And this is again part of the wisdom of being
a teacher. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he was very
careful about, about tiring out cert, the sahaba.
When he was admonishing or teaching them, he would give them
things and dosages, if you will. So can digest them think about
things and then he gives them more is really an art form. Teaching is
not an easy thing, and it must be done very carefully.
Alright, and the Greek word obviously for teaching a child is
pedagogy. Tice meaning child and I'll go in Greek meaning to lead
so you're leading a child, right?
So it's a very, very delicate process, especially if they're
children, because those are things that children don't forget, and
you're setting a strong foundation.
He says you're Aisha Radi Allahu Allah, and I was writing an unruly
camel, which was recalcitrant and Spanish, she started to hit it
repeatedly. And the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, You must
have compassion the Hadith isn't made happy. All right. So here
he's talking about a camel and animal, right the raw material I
mean, so he is a mercy to
to all the worlds including the the animal kingdom, that the
Prophet sallallahu sallam said and other Hadith
the WABA the Hora de la manera, come upon it. So that was salam
that don't take the backs of your riding beasts, whatever they are,
horses or camels don't take them as being pulpits. In other words,
don't just sit on your animal and start, you know, pontificating and
giving these long sermons, because that's, that tires off the animal.
That's, that's, that's, that's putting undue stress on the
animals. So here, he's talking about animal rights, he centered
the Sahaba ones, because they burned an anthill, he centered the
Sahaba once, because they took eggs from a mother bird, and the
motherboard started flapping its wings, and he said, return these
eggs to the mother bird, so he did not approve of animal abuse, this
doesn't mean that we should all be vegans and, you know, really
interesting, some, some modern people how they prioritize certain
things. I mean, you know, it seems like the intention is in the right
place, but then you think about the contradictions of some of
their positions, you have people that go into, you know,
restaurants and, and start yelling at people because they're eating
eggs. And saying that, you know, this is a, this is a, this is a
life and you're, you're eating something that's alive, and it had
a name. Some of these people are also completely pro abortion. Even
in the third trimester, I mean, it's very strange, you know, save
the chickens, save the whale, save the trees, but kill the babies.
Because my body by choice, right, I have bodily autonomy. So this is
a it's very interesting. And it's really a worship of the knifes,
right, they can control themselves. They act
irresponsibly, they do things they fornication, and then they get
pregnant, and then they want to justify to themselves that this
is, this is a moral thing I'm doing because it's my body and I
can do whatever I want with it.
But they know deep down inside that there certainly the
conscience
is bothering them and you can you can and this is something that you
can see with their testimonials.
And some of them are not bothered and you work on wonder about their
humanity. Anyway.
So the Prophet said, Sasha here must come back and
that's the end of section 18 center 17 was brought to the
profit and sorry this this this section is called integrity
probity and contracts and maintaining ties of kinship and
highlights of the chapter of the sections before
the end of class next week. And I said once, when a gift was brought
to the Prophet salallahu Salam, he said, take it to the house of such
and such a woman. She was a friend of Rhodesia. She, she loved for
Dasia and Aisha said I was never jealous of any woman the way I was
jealous of Khadija, when I heard him mention her. If he sacrifices
sheep, he would send it to her friends. Her sister had had been
to Hawaii lid, asked for permission to enter and he was
happy to see her a woman came to him and
She received her with kindness and asked after her very considerately
when she left he said she used to come to us when Khadija was with
us maintaining ties is it part of belief and the hadith is in
Makati. So the prophets of Allah the sons will first wife her Dasia
passed away
or the Allah Tala on her, she was his first disciple she passed away
in the Meccan period. And Asha was saying that, even as late as the
medina in period, the Prophet salallahu Salam would maintain
ties with relatives of Rhodesia, as well as friends of Khadija he
would continue to honor them
and show them kindness.
The Prophet used to carry mama, his granddaughter by Xena on his
shoulders, when he prostrated he would put her down. When he stood
up, he picked her up.
So, this also reminds me the famous story where the Prophet
salallahu Salam was standing on the pulpit, and he was giving a
football in July. And his very young grandson emailed her saying,
following his grandfather's voice, wandered into the masjid. And the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam descended, the minbar and picked
up his grandson and hugged him and went and then re ascended the
pulpit and finished his football while holding a moment her saying
about the love that I'm who in his arms. This is a testament to the
merciful and tender nature of the prophets of allottee. Seldom
with, with his, you know, not only his wives his companions, not only
with animals, but also with with children. And as we spoke about in
the past, the Prophet salallahu Salam, he continued to show good
character to even his enemies that were trying to attack him. And
this is what was so astounding to a book Soufiane, even though horb,
who, just before the conquest of Mecca became Muslim, and he was
just absolutely smitten that the Prophet salallahu Salam
continued to speak to him with respect.
And, and then he said to him, you know, me, my parents be your
ransom you you still speak to me with respect after all these
years, or I've
tried, I've tried to kill you and, and, and lead, you know, these
military campaigns against you and have killed many of your
companions in battle with the Prophet sallallaahu Salam did not
give up even on his worst enemies, he continued to show them good
character.
And there's a lesson in there. For us again, this is a difficult
thing to do, but he is our ideal, and we should try to strive for
this type of perfection. So the excuse of Well, that's the Prophet
and I just can't do that. He's just so great. He's still a human
being. I mean, the prophets have a body syndrome, he's still got
angry, he, he became depressed at times. And, you know, when he met
washy, the man who killed his beloved uncle Hamza, the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, he just he, he became very, very angry, and he
said, man, never see your face. Again. I mean, that's, that's a
human being. Right? And then eventually, he welcomed washy,
and, and, and he showed him kindness and mercy as well. So
using this excuse of Well, that's the Prophet and he's perfect, and
he's immaculate, and who am I am nothing. The prophets of the body
Salam is also a human being. And many of his,
any of his
reactions to certain situations are, are very similar to what any
human being do initially. But if we see how he
treats situations,
eventually, and his wisdom behind dealing with certain problems in
the society, even within his own household, that's certainly
something that we can emulate and at a certain level, and strive
towards this perfection, you're never going to hit perfection.
We're not going to reach the whole look of the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam, but that's not the point. We strive towards it. It's like an
old football coach named Bill Walsh,
who was the coach of the San Francisco 40, Niners in the 1980s
when the 40 Niners were dynasty and used to tell his quarterback,
Joe Montana, he would say to him, when you throw the ball to a
receiver, aim 12 inches right in front of the numbers. Anything
other than that is imperfect and you've missed the target no 12
inches in from the numbers. Can you imagine that on a 40 yard
pass? Because that was perfection, you aim towards perfection.
And you're obviously going to come short, but you'll you might
come close to it.
So the Prophet salallahu Salam is is our perfect role model, and we
should try our best to emulate his character and not make excuses and
we fall short we fall short and make Toba but we keep trying.
Now, he said Abu Qatada said a delegation from the Negus that's
the king of embassy and the Joshi arrived and the Prophet got up to
serve them. His companion said let us do it for you. And he said they
were generous and honored my companions. So I will do the same
for them. Albay happy. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam was in
self serving the people, right that he was doing that himself in
a hadith of Khadija she told him May Allah
salAllahu Salam May Allah bless him and grant him peace.
So Felicia says to the Prophet rejoice by Allah Allah will never
bring you grief you maintain connections with kinsfolk you bear
all and you give help to those who are in need. You're hospitable to
the guests, you help people to get what is there do
and this was after the the context of this statement of Felicia is
after the descent of the initial ye
later to cover in Mecca, the Prophet salallahu Salam, this is
something else that's astonishing about the Prophet salallahu Salam
again, showing his humanity that he didn't know initially what had
happened to him. He's not the only he doesn't have his formal
education in religion. He's not familiar with 100 kitab under
beliefs necessarily.
He's an unlettered prophet, and he has this experience in his cave.
And he is very, very sincere
in thinking that maybe something bad has happened to him, maybe
he's been possessed by a jinn or something like that. This is a
very honest reaction. And this is something that's pointed out. For
example, this book by Lesley Hazleton is very good book she
wrote non Muslim as far as I know, she wrote on the psychology of the
Prophet salallahu Salam saying that this reaction shows the great
sincerity of the prophets of the body so them that a charlatan of
some sort would not have this type of initial reaction if someone's
trying to pull the wool over your eyes and claim to be a prophet
when they're not.
They would come down the mountain with their chest out in the air
and proclaiming that he that you know, I am a prophet and and you
must obey Me and the prophets reaction was one of distress. So
he went to his wife, Alicia from Cobra Rhodiola Tara and her his
wife, and it was Khadija who reassured him that ALLAH SubhanA
wa Taala would not humiliate you by this type of demonic
possession, or mental illness or something that allows for kind of
what to Allah
knows certainly knows that you maintain ties of kinship, you're
good to the orphans, that you're good to the guest that you provide
things to people who need things but here's the thing also is that
she's no expert in matters of religion. So what do they do? They
go to an island and this is the proper method. All right, also
kind of what the other says first. Let Vickery include to blah Tala
moon.
Ask the people of at vicar ask the people of advocate here probably
means Revelation, Revelation in general. For the Quran in
particular, of course, the Quran is a revelation, but as the people
of revelation if you don't know, right, so she's not an AI Lima but
what acaba know felt her cousin is Chris Christian scribe, he was an
item. So they go to waterfall and the prophets to let it sit and
recounts what had happened in the cave. And what aka he says,
la caja and Namu Akbar comma j la Musa alayhis salam
This is his judgement about as to what happened to the profits of a
lot he said I'm gonna kick indeed the great now moose the great no
most know most is the Greek word for Shetty or sacred law, the
great law has come to you. Others say no most are now moose is that
others say that now moose here is actually the Arabic of Kanuma
which means the Great Spirit has come to you the spirit of
inspiration, just as it came to Musa it is
right and of course we have the famous prophecy of Deuteronomy
1818 that a prophet will come from the brethren of the Israelites who
will be similar to Musa today's Deuteronomy 18 Verse 18. That
sounds like
gave a valid part of the Torah. Were Allahu Allah, we cannot
confirm nor deny. But certainly there is a prophecy in the Torah
that sounds like it finds its fulfillment, with the prophets
have a lot of use in them.
So that's the end of section 18. Now, section 19 is called his
humility. In spite of his high position and exalted rank, he was
extremely humble and not in the least proud. So it's called the or
yet there is proof enough of that in the fact that he was given a
choice between being a king prophet and a slave prophet. And
he chose to be a slave prophet. Right the prophets of the body
Salam lived in a state of self imposed poverty. Right, he could
have been a king Prophet, like doubled it Sudan Sulayman. It
Sudan, huge palaces, servants, right. But he chose to be a slave
prophet. Because the majority of his people, all of his people were
living, but actually most of his people were not, we're not
affluent people. And he was a man of the people so the body of
Sudan. So he lived among his people, he was a man amongst men.
When he did that is refused to him. Allah has been generous to
you because of your humility to him. You are the master of the
children of Adam on the day of rising and the first for whom the
earth will open up on the day of rising and the thirsty intercede
everyone during
the famous Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Salam ventola The Allah
Allah for Allah Allah, woman to Cat Bara or the Allah remember
this hadith it's a beautiful Hadith that is has incredibly
incredible ethical import, that whoever humbles themselves before
God to wa before God Rafa Allah, Allah will raise whoever humbles
themselves before God Allah Allah Allah will raise rank woman to
kaptara and whoever to cut butter right this form five verbs the
meaning patterns of form five is is to consider it's considered
active whoever considers oneself
to be to be computer to be great to be high and mighty. While the
hola hola will debase and humiliate. And we find an echo of
this statement as well in the New Testament Gospels in a synoptic
tradition, that whoever is whoever is low will be made high, whoever
is high will be made low this type of thing. Have mercy. How pretty
well ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and Allah subhanho wa Taala will raise
your rank. But if you deem yourself big and high and mighty,
then Allah Subhana Allah subhanho wa Taala will debase and humiliate
you.
And we see that with people like me mood very interestingly, Nimrod
which according to the orlimar was the first man ever to claim to be
Allah subhana wa Tada. The first one who ever made a claim to deity
was this king of Babylon at the time of Ibrahim it said, um, and
according to the exit, a loss and his event, a mosquito or nap or
something that flew up his nose and bid him and the pain was so
intense that Nimrod would have a servant's come into the room and
beat him over the head with their shoes, as a way of sort of doling
the pain you know, going into sort of a, a daze. And then the pain
one day was so intense that he ordered his servants to beat him
harder and harder to beat him to death. This is the end of the man
who claimed to be God. Right? A lot of sense a tiny servant. If
you look at the world today, as one of our teachers said recently
in an amazing talk, that the king of the world today is this
Coronavirus, this thing that you can't even see a servant of Allah
subhanho wa Taala everything is in everything is in service and a
servant subservient to Allah subhanho wa taala.
That is just, you know, it's put us all on timeout, as it were. We
have to think deeply about these things, the state of the human,
the state of the human mind, the state of the human heart, when it
comes to Allah subhanho wa taala. What's happening in the world?
What's happening with, with religion with faith?
I mean, something like this, should should should provoke deep
contemplation within ourselves as to why these things are happening
and how we can approve improve ourselves.
And that's, you know, the Prophet sallallahu sallam was very, very
deep
The reflective person and the Erna mat and the elderly, the Sahaba
were very deeply reflective. And they were also very
self centering, that they were constantly trying to work on their
faults, they were not people that were satisfied with themselves,
and they would turn the finger inwards. And if something would
happen in their lives, a trial or tribulation of some sort,
they they would take it as a means by which they can make Toba and
and improve their character and improve their relationship with
Allah subhanho wa taala.
And come back into the good graces of Allah subhanho wa taala. Of
course, when things like this happen to a prophet, it's never a
type of punishment. The prophets are not punished because they
can't perform conscious sin. It's always a way of raising their
rank. But even with believers, it could also be a means of raising
our rank and what could initially be a type of punishment. Right,
but then we recognize that and we try to rectify our behavior. And
by doing that making Toba and making that rectification it'll be
a means in sha Allah to Allah by which Allah subhanho wa Taala will
raise our ranks as well.
And that's why the Prophet sallallahu sallam said the affair
of the movement is always good. It's always good even if there's
some sort of disaster or trial tribulation, we understand why
things like that happen. We live in the dunya. But we try to learn
from those things and these types of things should provoke a type of
Toba and return you know, towba tab a means to turn to reorient
ourselves towards a loss or kind of without the end of the day
everything is good for us. He said so a lot he said I'm I am a slave.
I eat as a slave eats may sit as a slave sits.
Right? And
there's a story mentioned that he was sitting on his knees one time
and he was eating something and a Jewish woman passed by him. And
she started to mock him
and say, look at your prophet, he, he eats like a slave. I mean, this
is how he's sitting on the ground eating something. And the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, he said, I love to be abd Am I not a slave? Right?
Am I not a slave? Of course, he's a slave of the law to kind of what
to Allah is a servant of a boss who kind of what to Allah.
And he is, he is a servant that has this beautiful to adore this
beautiful humility, with Allah subhanho wa taala. He's not doing
these things out of ostentation. And that's another thing we should
check our intentions we do certain things, you know that? Why are we
doing things? Is it is it simply? Is it simply for the pleasure of
Allah Subhan Allah to Allah? Or are there other things that are
operating within us? So we have to really take ourselves to a task
and and be honest with ourselves or difficult for us to be honest
with ourselves.
There's a saying of even secondary, very beautiful thing
that I'll mention here. It's not mentioned here by father yet but
even I thought a lot he said an act of sin that leads to humility,
right to law, and brokenness in facade, right brokenness, what
Catholics would call contrition is a beautiful word. contrition to be
contrite is one of the, the prerequisites of Koba of
repentance and Catholicism is to feel a sense of brokenness, the
word contrition means to be broken, a sin, an act of sin that
leads to humility and brokenness before God is better than a good
act that leads to arrogance. Better than a good act that leads
to kibow to arrogance. And there was actually a debate amongst the
orlimar as to which state is better if you believe this or not,
which which state is better?
The state of a person who never sinned or the state of someone who
did sin but may Toba.
Right now, ultimately, they said the former because that's the
that's the that's the way of the prophets that they don't send
consciously but the fact that there was a debate on this issue
it's white telling, that that that human beings sin by nature cuckoo
cuckoo bunny, kata own
baboon, and the owner must say here cuckoo bunny Adam is, is
needs a nuanced meaning there that it's not including the prophets.
All of the children of Adam are sinners and the best of sinners
are those who make tau that tau wa goon, those who reorient
themselves back towards the loss of kind of what the Allah
one of my teachers said, there are two kinds of people in the world.
The one who enters a room and says Salaam Alaykum to the people in
the room, and when they don't answer him. He thinks to himself
What's wrong with these people that they're not answering my
Salaam? That's one type of human being. Another type of human being
is the person who enters into a room and says salam aleikum, and
the people don't answer him. And then he thinks to himself what is
wrong with me? That these people are not answering my salon? What
did I do? Did I wrong them? What did I break decorum of some sort?
Did I show bad of some sort? Right?
Two kinds of people.
The Prophet used to ride a donkey and would have someone right
behind him on it, he would visit the very poor, and sit with the
poor again, these very difficult things to do. You know, we read
these things in books. And we think, Well, I you know, how many
times have I sat with the poor and
we should strive to do these things. He answered the invitation
of the slave and sat among his companions, mixing with them, he
would sit down among whichever part of the company he came to so
that you know, if you walked into a room and the Prophet was there,
you wouldn't even know which one was the prophet you know, it's not
like the one sitting on the throne or the pulpit or the you know, the
the, the fancy green cushion or something like that. He was just
he was amongst the people he's amongst the men. He was a man
among the men. As I said,
in a hadith about they are a lot of the prophets that do not
lavished praise on me, as the Christians lavished praise on the
son of Maria It has it he was set up. So this hadith is in Buhari is
mentioned by him on maternity in the Shema, ill, I believe as well,
that don't you know, the translation says lavish praise on
me but really flatter me in terms in which are you sigh they still
come out in terms of are similar, just as you saw today Salam was
flattered or given titles, that he did not merit or that breached the
parameter parameters of acceptable theology? Because there really is
no way of overpraising the Prophet salallahu Salam, right. Praising
the prophet is limitless, the poet said, for enough for in the favela
Rasulillah he lays Allah who had there really is no end to the to
the virtue, the virtues of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, but
don't make him into more than a man. Right? And this is what this
will cut. What did the Christians do? We have to ask this question.
And we read this hadith. You know, what did the Christians do with it
easily? So then some of our brother and they say, well, you're
celebrating the birth, gay, the Molad of the Prophet salallahu
Salam, this is what the Christians are doing. And what is that? Is
that what he's talking about celebrating a birthday? And
I mean, that I think that's a pretty weak argument.
The point here is not to make him more than what he is. Right, the
Prophet salallahu Salam, you know, when he entered Medina, and he
realized that or he was told that the Jews were fasting on Yom
Yahshua he says, We should fast too, you know, and a day before or
after.
Right? So
you know, this this, this certainly doesn't mean you know,
that you know, oh, you know, he's he's imitating what the Jews are
doing. I mean, this is the Prophet himself giving the command to the
Muslims we have a greater claim on Musa ID so that and he said,
right, the prophets of Allah wa Salam is by consensus greater than
Eastside east.
Surah Maryam is basically a molded it's a narrative of the birth of
the Saudis and I'm Allah's praising the birth of Risa Ali
salaam, how much more should we praise the birth of the best
recreations of the lobbyists in them? If Musab asylums exodus from
Egypt is, is commemorated by the Jews? How much more should we
commemorate the Hijra of the Prophet salallahu Salam or the
command of the Prophet salallahu Salam.
So that's not what he's talking about. Here. He's talking about
giving the Prophet a rank or a station of some sort that that is
outside the bounds of acceptable theology. So what did the
Christians do with recyling? Salaam, they made him into the
literal Son of God. And what does that mean? That means that they
said that isa lays his essence that the essence of a Sally's
salon is divine.
That inside a salon what he was a human being is really what's known
as a hypostatic union of two persons, the human Jesus of
Nazareth, but also the logo. So the Son of God who has an eternal
who has an intrinsic pre eternality so they're ascribing
Terry Silius
a divine quality. So don't do that.
With the Prophet sallallaahu Salam don't say the Prophet salallahu
Salam has an inherent divine quality that he's all hearing.
He's all seeing. He's all powerful this type of thing. This is what
the Christians did with a Silius. And this is what we're told to
avoid.
We're not giving any divine qualities to the Prophet salallahu
Salam,
everything that he has is from Allah to kind of what to Allah Who
is the ontological source of everything period.
So, this is a good place to stop inshallah to Allah we are in
Section, the middle of section 19.
Controller next week, will finish
inshallah I think there's 24 sections in this chapter, if I'm
not mistaken. 25 sections it'll be a bit difficult but maybe we can
manage it. So we'll see you next time in sha Allah, Allah, Allah La

Sure. So inshallah to Allah. We're going to finish our sessions
tonight. This is our 10th session
of the Kitab Al Shifa by Claudia Yad, I hope you benefited from
this course.
I hope you're inspired to learn more Inshallah, to Allah. There's
a lot of great literature out there.
On the topic of the Shema L of the Prophet salallahu Salam, the Sira
of the Prophet sallallaahu. Salam.
The Hassan is the special, unique qualities of the Prophet salallahu
Salam. And of course, this book is, is great because it's very
comprehensive and really a combination of all three genres of
literature. So, you should have it in your house even for Baraka.
Just have it on your shelf, pull it out every so often, and read a
section of it. In sha Allah to Allah, Allah will bless you, and
for the love of the Prophet salallahu Salam increased the love
of the prophets of God in your heart.
So we are on section 19
Chapter Two, part one
in my translation to page 68, the second full paragraph UNECE Radi
Allahu Anhu said that the Prophet salallahu Salam used to ride a
donkey and answer the invitation of the slave. So here, the section
is again on the humility that Talal door of the Prophet
salallahu Salam. In the battle against Bani acorrea da he rode a
donkey with a subtle cloth, which was halted with a rope made of
palm fiber.
He said NS said that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would be invited
to eat barley bread and rancid butter and would accept such an
invitation. He said that the Prophet salallahu Salam went on
Hajj on a shabby saddle on which was a fringe cloth that was worth
for dead homes.
And the prophets of Allah he said and he said Allahumma Hijjah to
laurea fee Ha, Wallace Tamara trauma that the Prophet sallallahu
sallam said in this hadith is mentioned by or related by even
magia and others, that the Prophet said, Oh Allah make it an accepted
Hajj with no RIA with no ostentation with no showing off,
or some I will assume, with no desire for reputation.
So this is a Prophet salallahu Salam This was his humility. When
he conquered Mecca to Mikado Rama he entered it with the the armies
of the Muslims he bowed his head down, while sitting on his
conveyance so that he nearly touched the front part of the
saddle. His beard was almost touching the front part of the
saddle out of humility to Allah subhanho wa taala. So this very
powerful image of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam coming into
Mecca during the conquest of Fatah Mecca. And Hadith in Bukhari tells
us Abdullah Mohammed, he says that I saw the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam on that day, and he was sitting on his camel he she camel
and he was coming into Mecca, and he was reciting Surah to the Fatah
Elijah and a swallow he will set which according to many of the X
digits of the Quran is the final complete Surah of the Quran.
Reveal
when
Victory of Allah subhanho wa Taala comes you know so why would fats
were eaten nasty at home if he Dini law he of wotja and you see
humanity entering the deen of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah al
Islam.
The religion that was perfected by the prophet Mohamed Salah long
likely it will send them the religion that he brought is called
Al Islam. You see mankind entering in throngs, by the dozens. For him
the replica was still here. And praise Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah and ask His forgiveness in the whole Kana Toba ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada indeed is after Relenting, the one who was constantly turning
towards us and accepting our Toba. He has a to Whap that's why when
we pray we say yeah, to rub through by Lena, over Lanter
relent towards us.
So this was his demeanor. Salatu Salam coming into the conquest of
Mecca. Again, this is the city that had kicked him out that
persecuted him. Of course, he was raised in Mecca. So it had a place
near and dear to his heart.
And when he came into the city, as we know, as we've said in previous
sessions, he was well within his rights to extract vengeance from
those who are persecuted him, but he came into the city and as we
said, he said salatu salam and Yo Ma yo when marhaba you as a local
operation today is a day of mercy the exultation of the court the
Quraysh and he came in sitting on his camel with his head bowed and
humility reciting social facts
are the area continues one of his signs one of the signs of his
toward or of his humility is that he said do not prefer me over
units even unit tests the units even ELLIPTA is the profit and
Nibi units it is to learn and do not create rivalry between the
prophets and do not prefer me over Musa it cetera.
And then there's a hadith here, which is in Sahih Muslim when
someone said to him, ya Berea Oh best of creation. The Prophet
sallallahu sallam said Zakah Ebro humanity so that that is Ibrahim
Ali Salam.
So how do we deal with these Hadith because it is absolutely a
cornerstone of our Aqeedah as I also know Gemma to believe that
the Prophet salallahu Salam is the best of creation Imam Milani says
in a Jo Hora to heed that the Prophet salallahu Salam is hated
fothergilla. So how do we square this belief, which is absolutely
essential with these Hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam so far,
they are yet actually says here that he's going to explain these
Hadith later. But we don't have time to do that because we don't
have any more sessions at least in this course. So I'll just give you
some previews as to what he says in the earlier module with these
with these Hadith. So according to PA the or Yad, either the Prophet
salallahu Salam did not yet know. At this point when he made these
statements, he did not yet know that he would say you do already
Adam that he was the master of the children of Adam.
And thus this prohibition occurred before his full knowledge of
himself Salallahu Alaihe. Salam this was one possibility. Another
possibility is that the Prophet salallahu Salam is making these
statements purely out of his terroir, out of his humility,
although this is debatable.
The third possibility is that it is simply cautionary,
right? That if we make these or if we insist, if we emphasize these
disparities between the profits, then that could lead to a type of
diminution or a type of a lessening of the rank of some of
the other prophets, and could actually lead to a type of
disrespect of the other prophets. So we should simply be careful.
Maybe this is the meaning of it, that it's simply precautionary.
But at the end of the day, we know the reality. And the Prophet
sallallahu Salman explained the reality that he is in fact, the
best of creation. He's better than any prophet. He's better than the
Kaaba. He's better than Jana. He's better than the origin of corsi
he's hydrosol Killa. fatale birria, that the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam has said you do already Adam what he said and I do
not boast and this is something that is absolutely essential in
the upgrade of and Asuna Jamaah. And also that the Prophet
salallahu Salam is the universal messenger that his Sharia
supersedes and cancels abrogates all of the previous shut out air
and this is also something that is essential. This is something as
grounded in the Quran. As we recited the faculty been
So that Annie Imran I remember at one, you have some modern
intellectuals who go by the name of perennial lists, perennial
philosophers who deny this aspect of the Prophet salallahu Salam.
And they say that, that all of these covenants, all of these shut
off all of these secret laws that were revealed before the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, are not abrogated, and that all of these
religions are valid paths to salvation, valid paths to Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah, and that one really does not need to even
believe in the Prophet salallahu Salam, even if one is exposed to a
sound prophetic summons. Even if someone met the Prophet salallahu
Salam and got to know him and knew the truth of His message according
to these perennial philosophers, that person can simply have
respect for the prophet, but continue worshiping Sid salaam as
a Christian, continue believing in the Trinity. This is absolutely
against the Quran, this is absolutely against the edge map of
all of the ournament according to the Monmouth Azadi according to
mama nowhere according to many many others, according to the Ford
Muthiah head of solar well Gemma
and that this is considered a it clearly deviant position it it
trifles with the very first pillar of Islam not the fifth pillar or
fourth pillar, but the very first pillar of Islam. The definition of
a Muslim is that ilaha IL Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah and it's true
in the perennials point this out what about in the Quran
essentially Salaam is called the Muslim ban us through our eel are
called Muslim, Ibrahim Ali Salam is called Yes, they were Muslim.
They were Muslim at that time, and their Shetty eyes were valid for
that time. When the universal messenger comes, as Allah subhana
wa Allah says in the Quran, when it comes to a messenger confirming
what is with you, do you believe in him and render him help, in
other words obey Him, and all the messengers and their own mum,
remember that Mama Razi said that because this also includes the mum
of these previous messengers, and that's indicated by the very next
is chapter three, verse 82,
that when this messenger comes, you must believe in him and render
him help. Do you take this Covenant as binding? And they
said, Yes. And then Allah subhanaw taala. He said, and I ratify this
covenant. Well, I know Malcolm in Ushahidi, and I'm amongst the
witnesses.
So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is the best of creation, and all
of the all of the prophets, all of the prophets, considered him the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam to be their master.
And continuing having issues with lighting here, please bear with
the lighting issue.
I don't know why it's happening.
Maybe because the open window behind me has something to do with
it. Okay, continuing in sha Allah to Allah.
That Asha and Hassan Ibrahim Ali and Abu Saeed, Al Hadi, and others
describe the Prophet sallallahu sallam. They said that he would
work in the house with his family that he would it says your father
or Yad says he would allow his close now this is an important
caveat. That the aroma point out here that the Prophet salallahu
Salam did not have the likes. He's not the lousing his own clothes
that he's actually the law of seeing the clothes of his
companions and this is something that to be Erland again, make
clear, but he would mend his own sandals, he would serve himself he
would sweep the house he would hobble his own camel. You take the
camels to graze and eat with the servants you would need bread with
them and carry his own goods to the market.
This is based on a hadith of another Aisha Radi Allahu anha.
This is a Hadith that's found in multiple books in different
different wordings or versions of the Hadith, the hottie and Timothy
and others, that the prophets of that that our mother Aisha, may
Allah be pleased with her early Allah today and how she was asked
my Canon Nibi Yes, narrow feet at that. What did the Prophet what
was the prophet doing? What did he use to do in the house, in the
Prophet in Aisha said KENNETH He mean that he he he, that the
prophets of Allah the salam was in the service of his family, the
service of his household, doing these types of jobs mending his
own sandals, right, mending his own clothes, you know, cleaning up
the house,
the equivalent of men today in the house, you know, washing the
dishes, mopping the floors, vacuuming the house helping out
with cooking. That's what the Prophet said a lot of a sudden was
doing in his house. He was in the service of his family. I remember.
I remember years ago, I was in a Christian church and Methodist
Church, and we were having an interfaith dialogue. And it was a
female pastor, and she was an expert in
The Old Testament and she gave us like a 15 minute sort of tutorial
on the Old Testament.
And then afterward she asked her husband, she said, Can you bring
me a cup of water and her husband went and brought her some water.
And then another parishioner looked at me and my wife was
sitting next to me. And he said, that must be real culture shock
for you. And at first, I didn't know what they were taught what he
was talking about, what do you mean culture shock? So I kind of
smiled. And, and then a few minutes later, I just had to ask
him, like, What do you mean by that? And he said, you know, a
husband serving his wife. Isn't that kind of strange for someone
from your culture? Right.
And certainly there are, there are cultural, cultural aspects that
are found in Muslim majority countries that are problematic.
But I explained to him that the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is our
role model. And he's really the person that we're commanded to
emulate. And I quoted this hadith. I said, there's a sound Hadith of
the prophets of Allah, where his wife was asked, and I say this
many, many times, I said, in many, many clippers, no one knows the
man better than his wife.
You know, whatever type of Persona, which really means mask
in Latin, whatever type of mask or persona he's presenting to the
public. The wife knows who's under the mask. Right? So she was asked
my cannon, maybe just start roofie Beatty. What was he doing in the
house? Ken, if he made that tip, yeah. And he can if he fit the
Matteoli, that he was in the service of his family. This is our
role model. The Prophet sallallahu sallam was a very fat Allah
person, he was very active, energetic, was not lazy, wasn't
complacent, very active, doing things going somewhere for a
Netezza boon. The great one, the great questions of the Quran that
Allah will ask us, he was asking us, where are you going? What are
you doing?
How's your life going? We should be progressing every day, we
should be better. What am i Teacher said that if you if
somebody says to you careful, highly say same old, same old and
you've, you've failed, you should be you should be improving on a
daily basis. Even learning one word, open a dictionary, English,
Arabic, whatever you want to do Spanish and just learn one word.
increase your vocabulary. Increase your ability to communicate
effectively. You know, do something, do something around the
house, self help someone around the house, go out and do something
for someone buy someone a gift.
Always be active, don't be lazy, because life is short. Right? And
remember, Ghazali points this out, you know, if you live 60 years in
your life, which is about average, I mean, the prophets of the Lord,
he said and said the weeping of my ummah, it's been a city with so
their aim is between 60 and 70. Most people the OMA will die
between 60 and 70. That He himself said a lot. He said them pass into
the mercy of his Lord, at 63 years old. So if you have a 60 year
life, and you sleep eight hours a day, and you work eight hours a
day, that's 40 years, gone. So you have 20 years left, what you eat,
you wait in line, you watch movies, you play on the internet,
you engage with your social media, you know, whatever you do,
you're driving your car to see people driving their car three,
four hours a day. So what is really left in terms of study of
reflection of worship?
You know, don't think to yourself Well, you know, I got a long life
Kevlar belt. hydrilla what are the rules that pulled it off? Okay,
we'll do it later. We'll do it next year. We'll do it in 10
years. I'll do what I'm 40 I'll do it when I'm at this type of thing.
We should be active. Very, very active. I remember like yesterday,
the y 2k scare that was 20 years ago 20 years gone. Now remember it
like it was yesterday.
You know,
so be active canopy Magneti Isley. Okay.
Man came to the Prophet salallahu Salam, a Bedouin came to the
Prophet said analysis, called the area is mentioning this now that
in this man, the game began to tremble out of awe. He was
awestruck by the Prophet sallallahu. Cincinnati mentioned
this earlier that when you first encountered the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, we were all struck by him. Right? It was it was quite an
awesome experience and awesome spectacle. Because not only was
the demand this had this had this
sort of regal quality to him. But physically he was very beautiful
as well. So lovely. So no. But then he said, When you get to know
him, you begin to love him. So this better one was trembling and
the Prophet said to him, he said, how would I take like, relax? Take
it easy. So in the less to be Melek the Hadith isn't it do
matter that that's related to your by or the area. That heat the
Prophet said, I'm not a king. Now the prophet is greater than a
king. Alright, he's better than a king. He's a Nebby. He's a
prophet. He's a lawsuit. He's federal health care law. As we
said, he's a master of children of Adam. He's the best of creation.
So he's not a king, meaning that, you know, he's not a tyrant.
Right? He's not a tyrant. He's, he's, he's, he's a prophet.
Right.
And so he has this type of humility in the interaction. Cool.
caddied, so he said that I'm only the son of a woman who used to
eat, like dried meat, right? Like, like jerky meat. That's all I am
again. And that's true. Right? That's, that's who he is of a lot
easier than so he's not telling a lie to this man. Right. But he's
trying to calm the man down because the man understood.
The awesome presence before who was standing at the profits of the
license was too large, or this is how he made the man relax. Right,
and this is for his, for his humility.
The Prophet sallallahu he sort of now that's basically the end of
the section 19 I'm gonna move to Section 20, which is on it, which
is called His justice and trustworthiness, decency and
truthfulness. He says, The Prophet sallallaahu Salam was the most
trustworthy, just decent and truthful of people. And even his
opponents and enemies admitted that he was called I mean, a Saudi
called I mean, even before he was a prophet, or even before he was
commissioned as a prophet, or you can say, even before this, the
descent of the Quran because the prophets of Allah Saddam was a
prophet. When Adam is between what was just said, according to the
Hadith, between soul and body, so even if so here we're talking
about before the conditioning
of his Nobunaga, which was in the year 610 of the Common Era. You
get this hack said he's called Al Amin, because of his sound
qualities which Allah had concentrated in him. And Allah
said, and he quotes these ayat again from so that it took read in
the hula Coda lawsuit in Korean. We are watching the end of the
Archie McKean that indeed, this is the word or the speech of a Noble
Messenger possessing strength before the possessor of the throne
of a high rank matar and Femina I mean
obeyed then trustworthy
most uses for the area it says most of the commentators say that
this was rule refers to the camera so the law of large ad why the
idea of setting them in some enamel hope to be mentioned this
as well in the steps here and some say degree that in Sudan
so he's obeyed, right matar and means obeyed. Right? He must be
obeyed, or else one does not become Muslim. Part again part and
parcel of becoming a muslim is to obey the Prophet salallahu Salam
salam ala Vika Allah you know in a heart chat you have to Luca thema
sheduled at the you know, home. So Mala Ji Luffy and fishing Hara
Jemima called date where you send the more Taslima so again, the
perennial philosophy, these people who, who are who have infiltrated
academic circles
and
give this strange interpretation to the Koran.
They really have nothing to stand upon by your Lord, they don't
really believe right until you they make you a judge in all of
their affairs. And you find no resistance they find no resistance
in their hearts, to your judgments and they come to you suddenly
notice Lima in total submission. Right? And that's the prophet is
the obey the Prophet Lokar and from that, I mean, he must be obey
or disobey is the Prophet sallallahu Sallam such a person is
not considered to be a Muslim. This is absolutely fundamental.
This you think is very axiomatic very basic, very
common sense common sensical.
When Quraysh, disagreed and formed factions about who would put the
Blackstone in its place
The cabin was being rebuilt, they decided that the first man who
would come into the Haram would be the judge. Right? So, this is a
reference of course we read in the Sierra. There was something that
happened to the Kaaba. Some sources say there was a flood that
damage the Kaaba dislodged and hedges on us what Blackstone other
say that the police are renovating the kava Allahu Allah, and this
happened around the year 605 of the Common Era. And so the cleanse
the Quraysh
there was almost a war over who is going to replace the Blackstone.
And so the leaders of the corporation they met in the city
council, if you will, the daughter Nidaa. And and what even Vera he
decided
that the first man to walk into the Haram would be the judge, and
of course, the prophets of the Lord. So then he walks into the
haram. And the prophet is only 35 years old, and you needed to be 40
years old to serve on the council. But this did not preclude the
members of the council from from making him their judge in fight.
In fact, they were quite delighted when they saw him opening when
they saw him coming through the gate. And they began to shout
Saudi for a name higher than Mohammed saw the code. I mean, so
they made him there judge.
It is said that you should commit a Bucha * on the day of butter,
and he said to him about hakken there is no one here to hear what
we say. Tell me about Mohamed, as he told the truth or is he a liar.
And the journalist said by Allah Muhammad is a truthful man. And he
never lies.
Obviously, somehow this statement reached us from Abu Johanna if
it's an authentic statement. It's not cited here by the translator.
But the point here is that they knew his character initially king,
they knew this character and this is why I will also kind of with
Allah in the Quran, which is a duty of clarity, which is not the
water that he's Allah commands the prophet to say, look, I'd love to
frequent Ramadan and publicly indeed I have lived entire
lifetime for two years.
You know, Dubai, Dubai makeups stuff? Am I a liar? Do you know me
to be a liar? Do you know me to be a Sahel sorcerer? Am I ashamed? Am
I a poet? You know, you know, how's my reputation basically, we
talked about this also, in previous sessions that a man's
reputation is very, very important. It follow him
potentially for the rest of his life. If somebody makes Toba when
they move on, right, and obviously we shouldn't dredge up people's
past we should always sort of
just assume that this person has made Toba and don't don't talk
about a person's past transgressions, but that those
memories are always going to be there. And if one is a prophet, a
prophet has enemies and those enemies will not
will not miss an opportunity to bring up things from the past.
It's like when Musa Ali Salam remember, he was in the quarter
for Pharaoh. And he said, remember you did that thing, that thing
that you did, and he doesn't, you can almost see him sort of going
remember you remember that thing? You know, I'm not going to tell
the other people. But you know, just to let you know I have some
leverage over you if I'll tell these people you killed good
Egyptian and then how you going to look? And of course Mousavi Saddam
did not intentionally kill the Egyptian we covered that. In
previous sessions. When you saw the sins intention was to break up
a fight. He punched a man with his fists, he didn't stab him or
something that throw them off a cliff. Nothing like that. Nothing
like the biblical version where it seems like he did have intent to
kill the man. And then he buried his body in the sand, who sadly
said obstructed man, he happened to die. So he makes Toba to a law
because of a lack of restraint. He lost his temper. Right? The man
happened to die. Certainly His intention was not to kill the man
it's more manslaughter in any type of murder.
Now
so you know, they knew his reputation and the added Kitab
they knew him as well.
Right? I was trying to look to Alice's and sudo. Number six is
number 20 of the Quran Alladhina Chang over mu Kitab a yachtie
funa. hookah Yachty. From Abner home, those to whom We gave the
Kitab the revelation could mean the Bible here that word Bible
means the word Bible means keytab. Beyond means book, those to whom
We gave the Bible or book or revelation in general before they
know him. Yadi funa who, right
And nobody felt were aired a fan is a higher type of Gnosis. It's
more of an intimate type of knowledge that they knew the
Prophet intimately as, just as they know one of their own sons,
the Koran says, right. So when the Prophet salallahu Salam came into
Madina, Munawwara a Jewish man, he was first spotted by the Jews
standing on their roofs. And then a Jewish man named I'm delighted
in the salon, who later become a Muslim body a lot and angle, he
said, are off to an Overwatch related he cut up I can tell from
his face are often needs to recognize any cognition, right? I
recognized his face, I recognize that his face was the face of a
liar. So the aroma say that it's possible that the Prophet
Soleimani Salam just had an honest face. And others say that in fact
of the legend salaam, he recognized the description of the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam, because he was described in Jewish sacred
text.
So they knew him as well and they knew his character.
And we mentioned in the past Isaiah chapter 42, probably a very
good candidate for what of delight you can Salam was referring to.
correctly as the emperor of Byzantium once had Abu Soufiane in
his court, when he asked Abu Sufian about the profits of a lot,
he said them and so he said to me, Soufiane, did you suspect him of
being a liar? Before he said what he said in other words before
claiming prophecy, and Abu Soufiane said, No, we did not
suspect him of being a liar.
Another ignorant Hadith said that said the foolish when Mohammed was
a young man among you, he was the most pleasing, truthful and
trustworthy
of you until you had white hairs on his temples. And he brought you
what he brought you then you said, a magician? No by Allah. He is not
a magician.
One Hadith says that the hand of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam
never touched a woman over whom he did not have rights and Hadith in
Bukhari and Muslim from Asia. She said Matt, Miss set Yedi Rasul
Allah, he gets it in writing caught, the hand of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam did not touch a woman ever,
unless he had rights over that woman.
So you know, it describes him by saying he was most most truthful
of human beings.
Have a Jaffa that somebody mentioned that Ali said that the
Prophet said, I was never attracted to anything that the
people in the chat Hylia used to do, except on two occasions was
mentioned by the writers of Syrah.
And he says both times, Allah subhana wa, Allah came between me
and what I wanted to do. Ever since Allah has honored me with
the message, I have never even considered doing anything like
that. So one night, I asked a slave boy who was hurting with me
if you would watch the sheath for me, when I went to Mecca, to spend
the night as the young men spend the night I went out to do so when
I came to the first house of Mecca, I heard flutes and drums
playing for someone's marriage, I sat down to watch and was suddenly
overcome that sleep and only woke up after sunrise is so it's
watching this frivolous behavior, and suddenly he basically falls
unconscious. And the the heat of the sun on his back,
actually woke him up.
And he said, I went back without having done anything. The same
thing happened another time. I have not considered doing anything
like that, since so Allah subhanho wa Taala protected him from birth
to death, right? And that's why we have these pre commissioning
miracles, before his birth before its commissioning, there are there
are miracles called Eros, these were type of merges that but
before that they I thought that are attributed to the Prophet
salallahu Salam, for example, the Prophet salallahu Salam, when he
was in his
early 20s, probably, he went on a business trip with May saw a
servant of Phoenicia to bolster in Syria, and there was a monk there,
and his story is in the prophets of Allah, he said, and he sat
beneath the tree there. And
Nestorius was looking at him in amazement. And he took he grabbed
a Mesa and he said, Who's this man under the tree? And they sort of
said, he's a man of the Federation of protectors of the Capitol, the
house of God. And the story said, there's none other than the
Prophet seated beneath the tree. And then
A Nasara looked and some of the veils had been lifted and he
noticed that there are two angels flanking the prophets of the body
sending as many stories like this. Of course we know years earlier
the same place in both straw. The Prophet was 10 or 12 years old
with every column, the head of the monk noticed a strange phenomena
as well, supernatural type phenomena. This is an indication
that the prophets his
his demeanor, his character, his actions,
were all always protected by ALLAH SubhanA wa Jharna.
Chair section 21 is to daintiness silence deliberation, manly virtue
and excellent conduct or I'm not even a disease that you will hate
heard. How did you even know Zaid said that the Prophet sallallahu
sallam was the most sedate of people in the assembly, he almost
never moved his limbs. So there was a tranquility about him. So a
lot. He said, You know, sometimes you see people they're jittery and
they're tapping their knees and legs and you know, they can't sit
still there's something. There's something off about him the
Prophet salallahu Salam was very tranquil, almost like he was in a
meditative state. One can say that his heart was always in the
presence of a loss of kind of what's gonna even in sleep, he
said, I you know, yeah, a Nalia. to Now nanny Wallah, your nan will
call the Okoma color. alayhi salatu salam, he said that my eye
is asleep. But my heart is always awake, that his heart was
continuously raptured in the Presence of Allah subhanho wa
taala. I was sorry that hopefully he's related to the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam sat in an assembly, he sat with his legs
pulled up against his stomach by his hands. This is how he sat most
of the time. In Japanese, when somebody said that he sat cross
legged, like, what's called the lotus position used to be called
Indian style, but it's not politically correct anymore to say
that now what's called the lotus position.
And sometimes he says squatting. This is also mentioned the hadith
of baileigh.
He was often he was often silent, and did not speak, except when
necessary, avoiding people who do not speak well. So we've mentioned
this in the past as well as on the air you had mentioned it in
passing, that the Prophet salallahu Salam was quite taciturn
in his speech, meaning he didn't speak.
He didn't speak much at all, unless it was unless it was
necessary. And of course, we have multiple Hadith that
that highlight the the excellence of the virtue of, of silence, not
taking vows of silence, that's considered a Vidar, to take a vow
of silence. It's something that the previous Omen did, as, as a
type of vow, mentioned in Surah Maryam that she did that she took
a vow of silence, as well as there could iati cinammon this practice
has been abrogated.
So
So there's many, many Hadith that that that highlight the the virtue
of, of speaking little right.
Men can you know, bIllahi min ash or FAL your coal Hydra only as
much, whoever believes
in Allah and His messenger should save what is good or be silent,
say good things or be silent. And, you know,
that doesn't mean you can't criticize because sometimes
because if it's if it's criticizing with a good intention,
and with adopted, that's good, that's good speech. Sometimes
people or we need to need to be criticized. So it's not saying
just say, Oh, good, flowery things and if not, then shut your mouth.
No. If you're going to criticize if you're going to raise an issue
of some sort, defend something, do it in the best manner, right?
Of course, men some of them Naja, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said
that,
that whoever is silent is safe.
Of course, the Hadith of the prophets Allah Aug and whoever can
guarantee for me the proper usage of that which is between his jaws
and that which is between his hips, meaning his private parts,
then I can guarantee for him entrance into Jana. Alright,
entrance into gender. Alright, controlling what you say, and
controlling your shower. You're promiscuity. Right? And this is an
age we're living in. Right? We used to be the pre modern age
where people had restraint and people
Do things of course, we're not going to romanticize the pre
modern world, it was also extremely violent in, in many ways
as well and, and it problematic. But people generally their
epistemology consisted of knuckle inocle, right of revelation and
reason. And these things work together Northern Ireland, newer,
as we said, we move into the modern age, and knuckle is
completely thrown away, and everything is awful. Everything's
rationalism. In fact, a type of empiricism really is what it is
a rigid type of impure empiricism that if you can't prove it
scientifically, you can see it or smell it or taste it or touch it,
then it doesn't exist.
And then we move into the postmodern age, where it's there's
no truth. You can't take these. So it's not true from nonclinical.
That's the pre modern world. Truth is not taken from science and
materialistic, mechanistic, like Newtonian physics. That's the
modern world. Now, the postmodern world is there's no truth capital
T, and it's your truth, whatever you want to be true, and it's
taken from feelings. It's how you feel. So you feel if you're a man
and you feel like you're a woman, then you're a woman. You know,
it's all based on feelings now, very, very strange time we're
living in, but postmodernist and Satanists have something in
common, do what thou wilt. That's what Aleister Crowley says, the
lever leg as the book of the law which he contends with a satanic
revelation revealed to him from some demon.
And that's the entire law. It says, This is what this demon
revealed to Crowley. Do whatever you want, do which do what thou
wilt shall be the whole of the law. The Prophet sallallaahu Selim
says in a hadith recorded by emo Minogue in the unburying, he said
all of the prophets all of the prophets said to their people,
either lamb to Steffi, for Snana shit, oh, come on holla that if
you don't have shitting, the do what thou wilt. So the meaning of
this hadith isn't okay, I don't have shame, I can do whatever I
want. No, you should have shaved. That's the point of the Hadith.
You can't do whatever you want.
But they always add this caveat, like people who live a promiscuous
lifestyle people who laugh at traditional morality, or, you
know, marriage and you know, just, you know, relax. What is this?
You know, relationships only only in the confines of marriage. It's
time that's, you know, that's caveman stuff. It's time to come
into the new century, man, you're not broke anymore. You need to get
woke and, you know,
leave these archaic, divisive, traditional values behind. Well,
you know, so these people are very promiscuous and promiscuity. This
is something that science has proven. promiscuity in many, many
studies, leads to an epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, it
even increases cancer risks.
Multiple studies have linked promiscuity with clinical
depression, because that's what they say do whatever you want.
Engage in any type of debauchery you want to and always add the
caveat, as long as you don't hurt anybody. As long as you're not
hurting anybody. How do you know you're not hurting anybody?
Living it promote a promiscuous lifestyle. Multiple studies have
shown brings STDs brings cancer brings, as we said, clinical
depression, suicide suicidality, which leads to domestic violence,
promiscuity leads to, to increase in domestic violence, which leads
to an increase of traumatic childhood for many, many children,
which leads to mental illness and many of those children who become
adults, and it's a vicious cycle, it's all based on promiscuity.
People can't control what they're looking at. People can't control
what's in there between their hips, as the Prophet sallallahu
sallam said,
right? That you know, you're not hurting anybody.
How do we know because we believe in Revelation in Allah subhanho wa
Taala will be called the che in adding the correlation in Allah.
Allah Subhana Allah knows everything Allah subhana wa Taala
knows ultimately what is good for us.
Okay.
His laughter was a smile, and his statements were incisive, neither
too long or too short. His companions smiled rather than
laughed in his presence out of respect for him, and to imitate
him as assemblies.
His assembly was one of forbearance modesty, good feelings
and trust. Voices were not raised in it. In this respect to sacred
things did not arise in it. When he spoke his companions bow their
heads in silence, as if birds were perching on them.
So this is how they were completely raptured in the words
of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, that when when he spoke, they were
their heads would go down as if, as if they were statues as if
birds would come and perch upon them.
And this is something else that's, that's lost people, you know,
because they're, again, these kind of post modernists, many of them
Marxist communist that want to equalize all of society that we're
all exactly the same, just no differences whatsoever. So they
want to destroy every type of social hierarchy, even in
academia. You know, with academia, you have these, these professors
that show up with flip flops and tank tops, because they just want
to be one of the guys one of the, you know, one of the young 19 year
old students, this guy's like 60 years old, and he's dressed like a
19 year old and call me Bob, you know, forget about teacher or Dr.
This and that, just call me, Bob, and this type of thing. This is
dangerous because hierarchies work and history has shown that
hierarchy social hierarchies, they tend to work and they work in the
workplace, they tend to work in the family, it leads to healthy
types of interactions between peoples. And they just simply
work. Right this, this leveling of society, everyone's exactly equal.
I
mean, they've tried this in many countries. And doesn't it doesn't
work at all. Right. And so the Sahaba, they knew, they knew the
rules of the game. They knew who he was, somebody said them. And
they knew that when they when they were in his presence, it was not
like in the presence of another one of them. They knew that this
was the messenger of God and outranks all of creation. And they
would act in his presence accordingly.
Reaching adab, right with with the Prophet salallahu. Salam is is as
if one is breaching other with Allah subhanho wa taala. So we
treat people according to their ranks. And this is a good way of
dealing with people. And you don't ask them and as you know, the
profits of the lottery, so don't treat people according to their
ranks. This is also something that Confucius taught, he said, if you
if you treat everyone with compassion, and you treat everyone
the same, then you waste your compassion. And at the end of the
day, you're not compassionate to anybody.
He says one of the things that it has said about him is that he
walked in climbing for work and the Huije machine in Sabah. He was
walking down a slope. And another Hadith when he walked, you walked
with concentration. He was no neither to press forward or falter
in his gate. Ie he was never He was neither impatient nor feeble,
to the Prophet salallahu Salam, he would walk with an intention,
right? Look, man, and Hakeem, he gave advice to a son walks at FEMA
ships. Welcome, dude, man. So check back in summer of translate
this like walk moderately a moderate pace, but it also can
mean walk with an intention. Walk with, with, with with a clarity in
your mind, that you know exactly where you're going and don't let
anything distract you. Right?
walks into the machine. Whoa dude means so tech just to finish that
second part of that statement in the Koran and lower your voice.
I've deleted the message already said the best conduct is that of
the prophets of the body Saddam, jab or even ability of the words
of the prophets that contained both elegant phrasing and easy
flow. This hadith is an Abu Dhabi route. And we gave you already
several examples in a previous class of some Hadith and looked at
the absolutely exquisite rhetorical composition of those
Hadith, demonstrating the unbelievable eloquence of the
normal speech. We're not talking about four on four hours on a
whole different level. We're just talking about the normal everyday
speech of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, which again is also a type
of wacky everything the Prophet said is His revelation. Why am I
in default and in Hawaii in Hawaii now? Why have I never Who should
we do for
so it's seven o'clock now. So
I encourage you to
continue in your education as the Prophet saw the lottery system.
