The importance of men in Islam is discussed, with a focus on the man with power over them called boss boss Aley Assy. Personal development and character are also emphasized. The speaker uses the Prophet sallahu to benefit the community and uses them to take advantage of wealth and become a man of hellfire. A couple who married someone had a secret love for each other, and eventually married a prophet. The transcript also touches on various topics related to Islam, including a man who married a woman and gave her half of his wealth to her, a woman who bought a well of Roma, and a woman who sold a bank for investment and investment assets.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:26
			Selam Aleykum cattle everyone, brothers and sisters in Islam hungry levels so that was Salam ala
rasulillah It's a pleasure for me to be here all the way from Australia and to see these wonderful
faces before me. It gives me great confidence. Brothers and sisters
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:35
			the topic which has been assigned to me is about the companion earthmen ignore I've brought the
alarm on
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:44
			Allah subhana wa tada said, by the hour we let him in a shaytaan rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			rejet
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			cavanna.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:12
			Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us about these companions and he calls them men.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:28
			How are they men, Allah said, they are true men because they fulfilled the promise which they gave
to Allah subhana wa Tada. What they promised they did, they fulfilled their promise to Allah.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:41
			Some of them have passed away and some of them still away. There are people who imitate the
companions and take them as role models. And Allah subhanho wa Taala has put them also in that rank.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:49
			So we have a chance also, to use them as our role models, and we can possibly be among those men.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			Sisters are asking What about me?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			In Arabic,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:02
			sometimes you can use the masculine term to refer to both genders.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:11
			So it means someone who has power over themselves and control over themselves. They have integrity,
they have esteem.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			The valuable this special
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:24
			one ever dealt with Abdullah Allah subhanaw taala says, during the course of their life, they never
changed what they initially
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			promised promise to do.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:34
			You know, sometimes we have a surge of Eman as time goes on how a man goes down, which is normal.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			But some people they change they burn out.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:46
			For example, some people got into the dean very strongly, they want to be super Muslims. Don't be a
super Muslim.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:55
			Don't be a super Muslim. Take things step by step. Your character is more important than the amount
of practice that you do. And the way you look.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Brothers and sisters in Islam
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:11
			of man, I'm not a fan of the last one who was one of those whose character outweighed his actions in
the beginning, then his actions would sometimes outweigh his character.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:26
			Who are we talking about? We are talking about a man who is the emblem and role model of higher,
higher means modesty and self respect toward law, which means humility and humbleness.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:35
			We're talking about a man who is extremely generous. We're talking about a man who has to stay up in
the Knights
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:50
			praying to Allah subhanaw taala calling out to Allah. We are talking about a man who was full of
sacrifice. He is the man who the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said to his daughter, his first
daughter Rukia. Stay with him.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			For I don't know anyone more resembling of my character, the northmen
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			Samantha Dolan has the closest character the province of arsenal.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:40
			So let's look at his character. First of all, honestly, I love talking about with Natalie alone. And
each companion has their own character, their own, their own passion, and they have their own
personality. So you'll never find one companion who fits all. And every single one of you here will
find themselves similar to one or two of the companions and none of us are all the same. You've got
the tough ones, you've got the soft ones, you've got the firm ones, you've got the ones who are a
bit lenient, he got the shy ones. He got the ones who are very confident out there. extroverts,
introverts, all of them have their positive positivity. And that I'm saying that said none of you
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:47
			can ever look down upon yourself because you have a particular personality. Be proud of it. That's
the personality Allah has given you and you need to know how to use it, to benefit
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:59
			yourself and benefit the community and do what's best that makes a loss. pantalla pleased for you to
enter Paradise and live a good life and happiness. Be proud about who you are. Sometimes it's right
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			Brothers and sisters in Islam, Allah The Allahu anhu said, You are asking me about Othman, who is
who is nicknamed by the angels.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			As the nordrhein, the man of the two lights.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			You know who the two lights are?
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:46
			They are his two wives, not at the same time. They are the two Prophet, the two daughters of the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam he married first Rokia, or the alarm on the daughter of the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam then she died. Then he married him macoun, the daughter of the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam. Then she died. And the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said to him, what law health
men if I had a third daughter, I will give it to you,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:58
			brothers and sisters in Islam. Let's see why. This man before Islam was loved by koresh, the non
Muslims loved him. Do you know why they loved him?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			Because he was wealthy
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:12
			and wait for it. He was humble. It's very rare to find someone who is very wealthy, and yet as
humble as humble can be.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:52
			If you are like that, then Allah has blessed you with this wealth. And you will win both this world
and the next. humbleness Tada. The Prophet sallallahu wasallam said mantova Allah Allah He Rafa
whoever humbles themselves before Allah, Allah will lift them it will lift your esteem, and people
will love you. And I'm not talking about fake love, not about people who just look good on Facebook.
There are so Facebook. I said Facebook didn't like Facebook should be called Facebook, but I'm not
talking about that I'm talking about genuine genuine people will last pentile as my people to love
them. Even non Muslims would love you because of your character.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:05
			or smart or the long line who was born six years after the Prophet sallallahu wasallam he was medium
built wide shoulders, soft looking. And you looked at him he was he looks soft.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			And he enjoyed his company. He was approachable.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			He never committed Xena.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			You know Xena is fornication, adultery,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			no sleeping around her own way.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:33
			He never committed Zina even before Islam he never murdered anyone he never committed shidduch he
was actually an innovative worship an idol even before Islam. He didn't drink alcohol in fact, he
was against it. He was against alcohol.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			One day he desired to marry the prophets daughter Rukia take you through the sequence
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:44
			and the prophets uncle Abu lahab you all know Buddha bright
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:09
			you know, you met him? No. Okay, so then Abu lahab the man fire in the other way is man of hellfire.
He's the one that Allah subhana wa is sent down the verse that Bharatiya Urbina have been whipped up
now I want the young people to I just want to take this time for the young people to listen to this.
It look listen to how it sounds debate here there have been there have been whatever it's gonna
bounce to it, isn't it?
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:31
			It's like rap, isn't it? Is it? I just I just said something terrible didn't I? Couldn't it's not
like rap, but it does have a bounce to it. And it's a deliberate bounce. Why? Because look what
happened when this guy Abu lahab he started cursing his own nephew started talking bad about him
after Islam. So last time Tyler was brought down his vision sounded like a bounce.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			You know why?
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:42
			Because he wanted the children to start singing it like as if it's a song but it was really quite an
every child in Mecca
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:57
			absorbed it and he had a catchy sound to say every one of them started to lose the run and play
while reading the bet the other abelia have been Mata and Abdullah would come past and he would get
angry say stop it shut up. And the children would laugh now could you run a run off
		
00:08:59 --> 00:08:59
			with a
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			marijuana humiliate yourself? Just pick on a kid.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:19
			Brothers and sisters, this man Abu lahab used to love the Prophet sallallahu Sallam so his son out
about he married the prophets daughter Claire, before Islam, and on the line we had a secret
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:40
			passion for her he loved her right he was like what you say when you someone has a crush on someone,
but this was a real crusher because it allowed who he loved and it's nothing wrong with somebody
having certain feelings towards someone after they've seen their character and you know what family
they come from, that's fine, but just keep it to yourself and don't don't do anything wrong.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:59
			I'm a teacher. And some students though, was asking me I like this guy. I like this girl. What can I
do? I say keep liking him until the day comes when you're able to get married to him and go and ask
for them from the parents in identity Hanky Panky stuff. Go around the corner and start meeting in
secret and stuff like that. Now. do it the right way.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			I promise you, she'll respect you
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:12
			and you respect her. But there's nothing wrong with liking someone. Just keep it to yourself and
maybe Allah, Allah will get you married to them maybe not.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:20
			So smart. Ilana had a secret love for her. And she married. He was so sad and he was so hurt.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			So one day
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:28
			soudha his Auntie came to him and said, I've got good news for you.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:11:04
			There is a man who says he's a prophet. And he's brought a Quran. And this is the Quran she recited
some verses to him and she had embraced Islam. He said, what a man who says he's a prophet from
crisis yet come and meet in South America and he went on his way he met Abu Bakr rhodiola Han, and
overgrow was one of his closest friends. He said to him, I've heard of men saying he's a prophet.
And I've looked at that and said, Yes, he's more he is a Sadiq Khan. I mean, the truth for the most
trustworthy said none other better him. He said, Yes. He said, This is what Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam is saying, and Osman said this sounds amazing. He went and met the prophets of Allah Allah
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:10
			was sending within about 10 to 15 minutes he embraced Islam. He was among the first five to embrace
Islam,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:17
			of Ramallah delana believe the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And he knew what character meant because
he had the similar character.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:33
			And so Abu lahab went against the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to the point where he got his son and he
said, Hey, listen, Come here, son. Divorce the prophets door of divorce. Mohammed Dora sallallahu
Sallam said why said because we want to hurt him before sir.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			And he divorced her.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:49
			South matter the law, no jumped in the air and said this is my opportunity. He went to the province
of Allah Selim said I want to marry her jasola and the Prophet peace be upon him did not hesitate.
He married Rukia
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:03
			and Time passed. Now want to tell you something both of them were good looking. Rokia was really
good looking. Ilana and Othman was actually quite good looking was very handsome. And on the night
of their wedding, people used to say they made poetry about him saying the two good looking couple.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:09
			When real Clara de la Juan had died. It was after the Battle of brothers
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			and it broke Medina's heart, you know.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:22
			And he didn't join the battle of better because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told him you have to
look after a player go and nurse her.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			When your wife is sick,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			nurse her look after.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:37
			And he looked after it didn't even get her a bottle of butter. It was more important to look after
his wife's well being and sickness.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:55
			When the Prophet peace be upon him returned Rokia died after a few days, and Iceman and the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam was so sad and he was really saddened for her loss. So the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam gave him on McKesson.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			He married him who could soon
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			in time passed
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:05
			on mocha thumb also died.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			And ostinato the lion was left without a wife again.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:18
			So he married someone else and he could never forget his two beautiful wives. He was called the
neuron, the man of the two lights.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			There came a time when the Muslims had to fight
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			an Eastern Roman Empire from a sham.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:14:03
			It was called the the the Battle of the book. And it was called the expedition of Basra the army of
the Muslims were in terrible state. They needed wealth and even horses, they needed. Cavalry, they
needed armor, everything. They needed weapons. So there was a call to help. Abubakar Delano came and
he gave all of his wealth, which was only a little bit it was carrying on top of his shoulders.
O'Meara Delano comes along and he said, Yes, our workers only got a little bit this time this I'm
going to beat him. So he brought half of his wealth and the bag was a little bit bigger than our
bucket, his bag. He said, Today I'm going to beat him. When he reached the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:32
			sallam, he found that a worker hadn't left anything for his family. And Mirjana took half of his
wealth. So that's when Homer Don Who said I wish I was a hair on the chest of abubaker. At least,
but also man of the alarm line who came along and he donated 100 plus 100 plus 100 plus 100. But up
to 900 camera loads of stuff. Then he added on top of that 90 horses then 700 gold coins, followed
by 10,000 silver coins.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:39
			Man that that is a lot of money. We're talking about hundreds of 1000s of dollars, maybe a million
dollars, pounds.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:52
			We say dollars in Australia, and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, Madoff man Matha all about the
neon, nothing that was man does after today is going to harm him. And he said it three times.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:15:00
			As a matter of the long run also bought something called the well of Roma, not Rome, as in Rome,
there was a German
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:42
			man named something Roma and he sold this one and Muslims are in need of water in Medina they had no
other water there was this big Well, that was that was there and no one could buy it. So as a matter
of the line who bought it for $38,000 homes, again it's something like saying 100 100,000 pounds or
something like that. He bought it for the Muslims and the prophets Allah sent him because he said,
Man half or a bit Roma fella hogen whoever buys the well of Roma, then he will have paradise and
that was fourth metal the alarm you know what brothers and sisters till today that well of Roma is
still existing in Saudi Arabia. And there is a bank that's a trustee just for the matter of the
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:00
			Allahu anhu half of it goes to the poor every year and half of it goes into the investment or the
assets of under the number of men on the line and they use it to develop and to look after orphans
and and other people like that till today. This is a southern kajaria ongoing charity from the
lohana till today
