00:01:14 --> 00:01:47
			All praise is due to Allah. We seek His guidance and his forgiveness and we seek refuge and Allah
from the evil of ourselves and the whispering of our desires, whom Allah guides no one can miss
guide and whom he allows to be misled. No one can guide and I bear witness that there is nothing
worthy of worship except Allah alone, having no partners and that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
Salam is his slave and His messenger and his perfect worshiper. Allah says in the Quran, Oh, you who
believe fear Allah as he deserves to be feared and do not die except in the state of Islam. And
Allah says, Oh, mankind, Fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and produce from that so
		
00:01:47 --> 00:02:09
			it's made and made from their combination many men and women, so Fear your Lord whom you ask each
other by and by the ties of kinship, verily, Allah is Ever Watchful over you. And Allah says, Oh,
you who believe fear Allah and say that which is correct, he will correct for you your deeds and
forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, then they are indeed victorious.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			had went to capture and seize the caravan of Abu Sufian
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:26
			and so him and 300 some odd companions had went for this easy military campaign.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:35
			But Allah subhanho wa taala, maneuvered the believers and maneuvered the Mushrikeen for it to turn
into what would become the Battle of better
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:47
			and so Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam after going with his companions to see is a caravan
now sees that he is going to be up against 1000 of them chicane.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:57
			And so he summons his companions all over them. And he says, Ushiro Allah Yohannes he says, oh,
people advise me.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:12
			And so Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu speaks and he speaks well, and Amara, the Allah and who speaks and
he speaks well, and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam continues to say I shoot or they give me
Shura, or people.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:37
			And so I will make a dialogue, the ALLAH and he says, it is as if you intend us or messenger of
Allah, meaning the onslaught of not the more hygiene not the people of Quraysh but at Osen alleged
village because they took a pledge of allegiance from the province of Allah to send them to defend
him in Medina and they're outside of Medina right now. This is beyond the jurisdiction of the
agreement. And so the province of Allah de Sena wants to know what's Alosa
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:47
			going to say now and then Melodyne said to him, O Messenger of Allah, we are not going to say, like,
Benny is La ISA to Musa.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:05
			Either have Antara Buka Tila, you go into your Lord and fight you and your Lord go fight. We are
going to be sitting here we're not going to say that. Rather, we're going to say you go fight. And
we will be to the right of you and to the left of you and in front of you and behind you.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:48
			And the province of Elijah. I said, I'm also heard from sides of Nimrod. I cited him Avila Allah and
who said O Messenger of Allah, if we have believed in you. And if you were to tell us to go and wade
through a sea might have an analogy with Anwar Haider, not a single one of us would stay behind.
We're in a suit couldn't even help and you will find that we are super often held up that we are
patient in battle. So to put it in the QA, you will find this to be true for the province of Allah,
they send them consulted his companions, and you will see that Rasulullah sallallahu they are
sending them would not leave them without their consultation. And so in this video, I want to talk
		
00:04:48 --> 00:05:00
			about this attribute of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam that is actually an attribute of the
believers. And that is the attribute of Shura, the attributes of consultation. Allah Subhana Allah
it says
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:42
			We're live in HD buena Kabbalah is more for Ash, those describing the believers and sort of the
shorter he says those who avoid combat Iran F major sins and indecency with Mr. Volleyball and when
they become upset either home your funeral they forgive whether the anesthesia Buddha Rabin accommo
salata, Omraam should I be known, and those who responded to their Lord will apama salah, and they
established the prayer and their affair, their characteristic is sure amongst each other, when we
model zakat, now when you feel good, and they give from what We have provided them and so, you see
Allah subhanaw taala placing this attributes of consultation in between Salah and Zakka and we know
		
00:05:42 --> 00:06:25
			the importance of Salah and zecca and we know the the consistency or we know the the the importance
of these attributes and Allah subhanaw taala placing it in between these two attributes with their
consistency indicates to us that consultation is a consistent attribute of the believer. Sugata
Shura being a Meccan Surah tells us that consultation is not an attribute of, of the politics of the
Muslim state, but it is an attribute of the social, the social fabric of Muslim communities. And so
Allah Subhana Allah Allah says we're amerihome Shura bainham. And in fact, he commands the prophets
of Allah to send him in Saudi Arabia and Iran after the Battle of ERT and the Battle of Earth also
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			had Shura. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			consulted the Companions, with regards to where to fight the battle of a hurt
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:56
			and Rasulullah sallallahu salams suggestion, his his thought was that it should be fought in the
city itself. That you you, you bring them with you to gain in, and you fight a guerrilla war in the
city, from the rooftops and from the windows and leave them in like that. But I want you to imagine
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			if you're a young man,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			and you missed out
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:37
			on the caravan of Abu Sufian, because you thought it was going to be a caravan of abuse of yard. And
when everyone is coming back days later, they're talking about the great battle of better if you
talk about missing out on an event, that is the greatest event that people missed out on that a
person be a young, able bodied man in Medina, and everybody's coming back. And they're talking about
Djibouti, and having been there and the angels having been there and, and the machine again, the
heads of them, which again, being killed, and it is the greatest battle in history. And you were
there, except you missed it. So the next year when or who came let's How about the young Sahaba
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:54
			especially there were like No jasola We're not fighting in the city. We have to meet them out in the
open. We have to, we have to meet them like warriors in open combat. And so Rasulullah sallallahu
has said that he though he then goes back into his house, they've overwhelmed him, he goes back into
his house.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:06
			And so the people then say to themselves, they say it's as if we've overwhelmed Rasulullah Salallahu
less than him so when he comes back out, they then say to him, oh Messenger of Allah, whatever you
want to do.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:45
			And the prophets of Allah, they said of them, he then says It is not befitting for a prophet after
he has put on his armor that he take it off, until Allah has judged between him and his enemies. The
prophets of Allah they send them is teaching us that when you've consulted, you've made a decision.
Now we move forward, even though it was not his opinion. And undoubtedly, Rasulullah Salallahu
Alaihe Salam has the most sound judgment. He is the person who's the most who's got the greatest
integrity. He's got the most sincerity, the province that Elijah is sending them submits his opinion
to the opinion of the community around him.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:10
			And the battle of what had happened and you know what happened with the Battle of Hood? Allah
subhanaw taala after the Muslims were victorious, they then it turned into a loss for them a
temporary loss but it was a victory with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And major, major lessons were
unlearned, but Allah after the battle, but what does he say total Zulu Allah Allah Allah Allah says,
he says, for being mighty mean Allah He limped along well
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			I mean, how big five four and one was stuck I wish I would have
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:31
			Allah tells the province of Almighty send them still to consult them, still consult them. After
something like this a person might say, You know what, I consulted you guys, and this is what
happened. I'm not consulting anymore now on it's my way, or the highway. But Allah subhanaw taala
total sort of Allah so I sent him shot with him you can
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:51
			either present for token Allah, Allah and then once the decision has been made, consultation has
happened. Then rely upon Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, Allah loves those who rely on him. Don't be
people who consult make a decision. And then after the after the decision is made. Someone's making
private phone calls. Everybody's saying Hold on a second. I think we made the wrong decision.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:59
			Let's go back and have a rebound. Let's do a re election. Let's do a recount. Let's do this. Let's
do that. Because that paralyzes a community
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:19
			And I've seen and I'm sure many of us have seen communities where a decision was made 10 years ago,
15 years ago, 20 years ago a property was purchased for, for for for a particular purpose. And that
property was never developed by the community because they were never able to after they made that
initial decision and after they raise funds for it and all of that
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			the infighting
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:36
			either hasn't photogra Allah Allah Allah says, if you've made the decision and move forward, it's a
beautiful etiquette to teach people as well in your in your family, a beautiful etiquette to teach
people in your work groups, that when we've made a consultation in the meeting, we've decided let's
move forward.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:11
			The province of Allah de Sena consulted in all of his campaigns. And so you find the Battle of
labour Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam now if it was 1000 people table was 10,000 people coming
to wipe Islam out and the Muslims from the city of Medina. And so Rasulullah sallallahu. They said
them is seeking counsel from his companions, and one of them is coming from a far off place and he
is foreign. And so he's going to suggest something that none of them have ever experienced before
said man and fire to settle the ALLAH and he says something that we that we do in Persia is that we
dig trenches.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:43
			And so based on Sandman FITC suggestion, the Muslims began to dig a trench, the MaHA Judean owes
Huzzah, all of them are building a trench based on the suggestion of a former slave who was not even
Arab. Everyone had a voice in the community of the prophets of Allah how to set it up and everyone's
voice. If it was the best suggestion was actioned. I want you to imagine what that does for a
community when said minded fantasy is seeing everybody building a trench based on his suggestion.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:57
			Shura is something that the province of Elijah sent them did not restrict to battles, but the
province the law to set it up even with the most intimate affairs of his family Rasulullah
cellulitis and them would consult.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:06
			And so you see during the slander of Inshallah, Allah anha Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam he summons
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			Sam is eight, and I've never thought it.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:22
			And Barry era, the servant girl of Aisha, and he asked all three of them, what do you think? What
should I do?
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:41
			And the scholars mentioned that the prophets Allah lightness and specifically summoned the young
Sahaba he summoned it who was young and Usama who was young, because sometimes young people, they
don't have the diplomacy of elders. So they'll give it to you raw, they'll give it to you real,
they'll give you what they really think.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:49
			And so Osama the Allahu Anhu. He says, oh, a messenger of Allah. I've never seen anything wrong from
Asia, nothing.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:55
			And I have never thought about the Allahu Anhu he says, Oh messenger of Allah.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			Allah has created many women.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			If it's if it's if he has the issue, then
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			you can divorce her and Allah subhanaw taala will give you somebody else
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:26
			tells Madeira what have you seen of Aisha but he does is female. She's in the constant company of
Ayesha so she'll, she'll tell him what the men don't see. And buddy Allah says, rasool Allah Allah
says she says, I've never seen anything wrong with fish. I've never seen anything that's a
problematic about Aisha ever other than the fact that sometimes when she's making dough,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:33
			she's a young girl, and she falls asleep with the dough in her hand, and the goat comes and eats the
dough. That's it. That's all I got.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:48
			But I want you to imagine how Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in such a vulnerable moment, he is
consulting people. And there are many of us who go through the most rocky family situations, and we
don't consult anybody
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			got difficulty with our kids. Don't consult anybody.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:04
			Difficulty with my spouse, my marital relationship, don't consult anybody. Don't talk to anybody.
I'm not talking to a counselor. I'm not talking to a therapist. I'm not talking to my best friends.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:19
			And so even those closest to a person may not know what is going on in their life. They don't
consult, they don't ask. They don't seek benefit from anybody else's experiences. And then all of a
sudden you hear about a separation and everybody's surprised.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:26
			One of the beautiful things that consultation teaches us is humility.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:49
			And one of the things that consulting does, is that a suffocates a person's ego. There is no one of
us who's more intelligent that will sort of loss of life and there's no one of us who has a better
judgment than the province of allied ascending them. And yet we see the Ebola and who says I never
saw anyone who consulted more little sort of law sizing them I never saw anyone who consulted more
than the province of Allah, they send them
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:59
			so much to even the way that he dressed. And so welcome on the line. Oh my God, Allah I know they
said O Messenger of Allah, some people they they are really impressed by
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			By the way that people dress
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:27
			and so if you took a particular garment that you could wear so that people when they see you, they
realize who you are and so the province of Allah they are setting themselves up walking in comedy,
he said if you to ever agree on one thing, I would never ever differ with you. If you do both calm
and you agree Abu Bakr and Omar I'm never going to differ with you. And so the province level why
they said and took on a garment when he was meeting delegations and other things.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:34
			You know, one of the most awkward moments in the seat of the province on the lightest.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:53
			One of the most awkward moments in the state of the province of aleida. settler was the Treaty of
her day BIA. And I don't know of another moment in this era, where the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
told the Companions a point blank command and they didn't do it. And they didn't rush to do it.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:03
			Rasulullah sallallahu so love treaty of her Davia the Muslims are very frustrated. They feel like
the terms of the treaty are humiliating.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			And so
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:28
			Allah Subhana Allah to Allah. He calls this treaty, however, feta moving later on, but the terms
were just very difficult for the Muslims to bear it was beneath their dignity, that if a mushrik
accepts Islam, that they have to be sent back to Makkah. But if a Muslim apostates in Medina, they
go back to Makkah, and it's not equal terms
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:45
			and many other terms that they found to be humiliating and Soto su Lhasa send them after the Treaty
is over, he can and the Muslims are not allowed to go to Mecca and perform the pilgrimage, even
though they're coming as travelers and pilgrims, obvious pilgrims, and the McCain's who have never
sent anybody back are sending them back.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:59
			The province and Elijah send them after the Treaty. He commands for the Sahaba to shave their heads
and offer their sacrifices and go home. Home was done. Nobody moves, nobody moves.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:15
			The province of the Lyceum doesn't know what to do. And I want you to imagine when Has this ever
happened in the CETA that you can think of where he says do this and the Sahaba don't rush to do it.
But he goes into his tent, and he tells his wife on Saturday.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:28
			And on Sunday model the Allah Anna says or messenger of Allah, is that what you want? You want them
to shave their heads and offer their their their their sacrum, their heavy, their sacrifice? He says
yes. She says okay, then this is what you do. You go out
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			and call your barber. And in front of everybody.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:39
			Shave your head, don't talk to anybody just shave your head and sacrifice your animal.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:18:05
			And then they'll do it. And the province of Elijah said, Lim then goes, and he does what himself
instructed him to do or suggested that he do. So that most awkward moment with the Sahaba of the
Allah on him. And as soon as the province of Elijah sent him did it, the rest of the Sahaba all
shaved their heads. But it was a consultation that he did with his family. It was a consultation
that he did with his family.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			Of the things that consultation teaches us and I want to briefly end with this.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			Number one is that it gives everyone a voice.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:38
			It makes everyone feel that they have a share in the decision. And when everyone feels like they had
a share in the decision even if it's not their decision that was or their suggestion that was taken.
You've created something called buy in. Everyone has collectively come to this agreement. Now
everyone has bought into this decision.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:54
			Also of the benefits of consultation is that it is obedience to Allah subhanaw taala Allah says We
shall we don't feel Allah commands and commands denote obligation. And so if ALLAH is commanding the
province of Allah, they send them to consult, then what about us?
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			It removes enmity and hostility.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			When I am consulted by someone
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			my natural inclination is to give them good advice.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:42
			And so even if I have enmity toward or someone someone's always causing tension with you, or you
feel like someone doesn't like you, or you're working with someone in a team and you just feel like
they consult with them, and that inshallah this part part of what that will do in sha Allah to Allah
is remove enmity and hostility from that person. And number four Inshallah, to Allah is that it
removes or it gives a person exposure to other people's expertise and other people's experiences,
like the example of Sandman and fantasy. He was able to suggest to them a tactic that the Arabs did
not know. And it was something that was an experience that came to them from abroad from Persia.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			And Allah subhana darnos best Kumasi Mr. Mustapha Rolla they were looking for structural in all
right.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah while I was listening to the McCarthy era, the last
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:18
			A category of people that I would encourage consulting, we've talked about consulting, family,
parents consulting their children, but the young consulting the old, you know, something interesting
and unfortunate about American society is that there is a, there is a disregard to the elderly.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:59
			And when I, as a young person, I'm able to consult with those who are older than me, especially
those who have a trove of life experience, that this adds experience to my experience, it adds
perspective to my life, it adds years to my lifetime, if I'm able to go through, go through things
and learn things without having to actually go through all of the difficulties consulting in any
affair with regards to people who I think are experts in any particular matter, or in people have
experiences any particular matter. Let me reach out to people let me ask people let me seek out
mentors. All of this in sha Allah to Allah will make a person's judgment more sound will make their
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:16
			opinions or their steps more sharp, and inshallah to honor their actions more successful. We ask
Allah azza wa jal to allow us to hear the speech and follow the best of it. We ask Allah azza wa jal
to enter us into paradise and will grant us and grant us what will bring us closer to vaccines and
speech and to protect us from the hellfire. Aloha My name is Erica Jana
