Palestine Reimagined #03 Why Palestine is Blessed

Why is it blessing Oh messenger of Allah or why is it so good on Messenger of Allah? He said the anomala Ecouter Rahmani belsito to actually haha because that is where the angels of Allah are spreading their wings over Allah.

They will tell you that Palestine is a land of Baraka blessing.

But what's frequently left unexplained is the true essence of what it actually means. Time and time again the Quran will refer to Palestine and its surrounding regions as the land which erupts with Baraka blessing. It's it's unmissable

take with me the verses For example, speaking about the Muslims of Bani Israel, Allah subhanaw taala he said what I would call melody and can we use the iPhone and machinery of the llama arriba Letty bow rock mafia. And we made the previously oppressed people inheritors of the eastern and western lands, which we showered with blessings. Look at how Baraka features. Again speaking about the Prophet Suleiman Allah Almighty said,

while you Sulaiman the house, if I turn to God be angry, he ll rd Letty Baraka, Nephi

and to Sulaiman We subjected the raging winds, which, through his command, blue to the land, which we showered with blessings, the featuring of Baraka, even when we speak about the trial of the Prophet Ibrahim that far back again the virtues of this geographical region are once again addressed and highlighted. When Ajay now who will note on il RB Leti, the rocking ifI hallelujah and I mean, we delivered him meaning Ibrahim and loot to the land which we had showered with blessings for all of the world's Subhan Allah. Now, when we read these, if these verses, we may wonder how exactly has Allah blessed Palestine and the regions that surrounded also what does it mean when Allah said that

this region is blessing for everyone? See, the scholars have mentioned that Baraka blessing is defined as the following it is taboo to highly Elahi if you shake as the last for honey, he said, Baraka is divine goodness, that remains in a matter, highlight the word remains. This Baraka this blessing entails abundance and goodness, and it manifests in endless ways as put by Imam even though Tamia will baraka to turn our Rue al Bara caffine well Baraka dunya that blessing Baraka encompasses both the religious and the worldly ones, the tangible and the intangible ones. For example, the tangible examples or the worldly forms of Baraka. Take, for example, its fertile land, its abundant

fruits, its majestic landscape, that is a perfect blend of plains and mountains and valleys. With its blessing, Central and pivotal location, Jerusalem is anchored not just as a land of natural beauty and abundance, Baraka, but it's the pulsating heart of the Islamic world. And this Baraka, as we mentioned, is also expressed in the intangible ways, for example, by way of the reward of Salah that is amplified that's Baraka, by way of the blessings in time and productivity that's Baraka, for example, reflect on the words of Imam Abu Bakr Ibn Arabi, who described his levels of productivity when he arrived at the land. He said, and I quote, then we traveled from the lands of Egypt to the

Levant, a sham, our hopes high with anticipation, we entered the holy land and reached Al Aqsa Mosque he said furler Ha Lee bedroo Narada first another to be he as he had a new philosophy our he said there I was greeted by the full moon of knowledge, and I basked in its light for more than three years Subhanallah but I couldn't productivity to scholar it she had with Dean Abraham who died 815 After the hijra, he authored his book at the piano, feet of Syria cerebral Quran, in Al Masjid Al Aqsa,

and there is a well known cemetery, called the cemetery of Babel, Rama next to the Gate of Mercy of Allah Aqsa compound, and it is said that it was there and has only composed his famous here, along with Dean, the Revival of the Religious Sciences, while in seclusion, in a corner near this gate, it is a place of Baraka. A Sham is also blessed by way of the angels that remain close to the land of a sham all throughout the ages. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on said

How blessed it is a sham.

The Companions they said Lee Valley KR Rasul Allah. Why is it blesseth O Messenger of Allah or why is it so good or messenger of Allah? He said the anomala Ecouter Rahmani belsito to agilely HA HA HA HA

because that is where the angels of Allah are spreading their wings over. Allahu Akbar.

What does it mean that the angels spread their wings over a shot? The scholars have said, and then melodica Tao for her waterhole to be inserted Bearcat would have a Maliki almost the earth it means that the angels are protecting it, and they are surrounding it with the descent of blessings, and the warding off of calamities and harm. Part of its Baraka is that a sham is the place to be when life becomes difficult and tough and calamity start to unfold. Palestine has always served as a refuge for prophets and the righteous who migrated there for protection during times of severe hardships.

Prophets Ibrahim, and his nephew lute made their way there when they were unable to open the practice and spread their faith of Islam in the land of Iraq. So the Prophet Musa he turned towards Jerusalem when the pharaohs persecution of the Israelites intensified. The land of a sham will continue to play this role for as long as the heavens and the earth endure. And that's how you know your best friend in life. It's those people whose names come to mind when you're most distressed. You find shelter in their company. Likewise, when the calamities of life intensify your refuge, our refuge will be in a shop.

And this brings me to an amazing dream that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam won so listen carefully, word for word. He said, Dana.

If there are you to our Moodle Kitabi to Mila mentality ROTC while I was sleeping, I saw the pillar of the book lifted from beneath my head. In another narration, he said, we're either who are North and South Bay in a day, it appeared suddenly as a bright light before me

from one end to another whom and who won't be back to who bursary for me, they'll be in a shop. And I thought that is going to be taken away from me. So I followed it with my eyes, and it was taken to a sham. And then he concluded by saying Allah in the Imana Hinata, confident bishop, he said, Indeed, Iman faith, when the trials occur, will be in Russia.

A very graphic narration. But what is the pillar of the book that was lifted from beneath the head of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

even on TV, he explains and he says, While amodal Kitabi Maria autometer Allah he will home hemella To who Allah is gonna be. The pillar of the book, he said, is in reference to that which is leaned upon. That's what you do with a pillar you lean upon it. He said, It is in reference to the people who will bear the book, who will bear Islam who will uphold Eman.

So the pillar of the book means the people who will carry this religion was lifted from my head, meaning they were taken from Medina as is this is where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam rested his head and this is where it all started. And then it was transferred to usher meaning at the end of times, the truest carriers of the religion will be there.
