AI: Summary ©
First I have an announcement to make, the
announcement is my lecture that I thought I
said on this memory stick is not on
the memory stick, which means I have to
give you the lecture.
As I remember it, maybe it will be
more exciting, I don't know.
But let me start by saying that this
is the third lecture of a series of
lectures which I'm giving, and it is based
on a number of lectures that was given
by a man by the name of Al
-Aulaqi.
Remember him, Al-Aulaqi?
Al-Aulaqi was killed by a drone, an
American drone, and he was about 40 years
old, and his son was about 18 years
old, was also killed by a drone.
And his daughter, who was 6 years old,
was also killed by the American drone.
And all these three murders were signed off
by the President of America.
First, the first black president of America signed
off on Al-Aulaqi's death, and for the
other two, the one who is going to
become president now in the United States, he
signed it off.
They agreed that, they'll drop bombs on these
two kids and on their father.
They destroyed the whole family.
And thinking about this all the time while
I was reading this and looking at this
was that, why did they do this?
Why did they go so far as to
want to kill three people with drone bombs?
What was the great thing?
There must have been a massive thing that
drove them to do this.
And the massive thing in my mind that
drove them to do this was fear.
They feared.
What did they fear?
They feared that if they only kill the
father and not the son and not the
daughter, the father, the daughter and the brother
or the son will take up the titles
after the death of their father.
They'll become Mujahideen.
They will fight in the path of Allah
like their father fought in the path of
Allah.
That was the fear.
And the fear was that they didn't want
his message to pass on to his children
so that they can spread the message of
Deen, of the Quran, of Jihad.
What is Jihad?
What is Jihad in Islam?
Jihad is to defend the rights of Muslims
and everybody else and also to make people
aware of the inequities and the suppression and
the harm that has been done to Muslims
and Islam over a long period of time.
So that was Awlaki.
And when I read this, when I wrote
this down, I smiled to myself and I
said, they thought they're going to kill the
message of Awlaki.
I'm sitting, Awlaki was in Yemen.
I'm sitting where?
The tip of Africa.
A number of years ago.
And I'm giving his message to the Muslims.
Halal.
And that is how people think.
That's how stupid people think.
Ignorant people think.
Well, if he's gone, then it's gone.
Nothing is gone until Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala signs the doors.
Nothing happens unless Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
has decreed it.
And our biggest concern today is what?
Our biggest concern today is, and the biggest
question in our minds is, when is Allah
going to bring relief to the Muslims?
Isn't it so?
When is Allah going to bring relief to
the Muslims?
After all, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
the creator of the universe.
He, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala brings victory
when he wants to bring victory.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is in
charge of everything.
So why?
So it's a human question.
Prophet asked the same question.
Matai Nasru Allah?
Matai Nasru?
Quran says, what was the question?
Prophet asked?
Ya Allah, when is the victory going to
come?
Lots of victories have come before this.
But we are now also, as I said
last week, we are exactly in the time
of, exactly the time of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam.
We must be happy and contented that we
live in the time of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam.
Everything that is happening today happened in the
time of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi People hated the
deen, they hated the person who brought the
deen.
They eventually wanted to kill him.
But now the West wants to kill him.
They can kill all the Muslims.
That is the objective, I mean the start
of what is happening in the Middle East.
It's just the beginning of what they think
they're going to get away with.
And Allah has given them already a message.
Allah has already sent them a message.
Allah sent the Americans directly a message in
the last few days.
And what was that?
He set fire to what place?
Los Angeles.
Which part of Los Angeles?
The part where those people who have supported
Israel in the genocide and have said it
in so many words.
No stopping the fighting.
No stopping the killing.
Listen, no stopping that.
That man, I saw him sitting in his
house.
His house was on fire.
He said to himself, what am I going
to do now?
He just had enough time to get out
of his house.
He couldn't even take his clothes with him.
And the fire came right on everyone that
was for the genocide.
All their homes were destroyed and moved.
Remember these people live in places where you
know, there's water, fire engines.
Everything is there for them.
Everything is there for them.
And of course they live in America.
And they are the stars on the, you
know, people watching the movies.
They are billionaires.
So Allah sent him a message.
Whether you're a billionaire, whether you live in
Los Angeles or in New York, wherever you
hide yourself, there's no place to hide.
Not from Allah.
So we ask ourselves the question then, Let
us continue with our, in the last time
we spoke, I spoke about incidents that happened.
That there was a person who said, that
when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala plans something,
when Allah plans something, He removes all the
things that stand in the way of that
thing happening.
Allah decides.
And when Allah decides something, Allah decides in
his own time.
Allah has his own time.
We're here today, if I remember what I
have to remember.
We see Allah's hand in everything.
We see Allah plans everything.
Now you know when Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam came to Makkah, And he started preaching
the deen of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Nobody wanted to listen to him.
In fact, nobody did listen to him.
He preached to them for 10 years.
10 years the Prophet preached.
After the 10 years, He thought, well I
have to break my borders, you know.
I'm stuck here in Makkah, I have to
do something more.
Nobody else except the ones that have converted
to Islam, Nobody else wanted to become Muslim.
SubhanAllah.
So he decided, he was going to Ta
'if.
Why are you sitting there making du'a
for my memory?
He decided he was going, and who, What
spurned him on to go to Ta'if?
His beloved uncle died, what was his name?
Abdul Muttalib, Abu Talib.
Abu Talib was his uncle.
Uncle died, and who else died?
His wife died, Khadijah died.
So he lost the two loves of his
life.
His uncle and his wife.
And he decided to go away.
He decided to go to Ta'if.
I've never been there before, I'm happy I've
been to Ta'if.
Which is close to Makkah, it's on the
hills there somewhere.
And he went there, and what happened there?
You know what happened.
They rejected him, chased him away.
Told the children to stone him while he
was walking.
So that the blood ran down into his
slippers.
And he would sit on the side of
the road.
And he said to Allah, Ya Allah, is
this now?
He said to Allah, why am I being
treated like this?
After all, I only came to give du
'a to these people.
I've never been treated as I'm treated now.
And he spoke to Allah, and he spoke
from his heart.
You see, Ya Allah, the cross with me,
there's nothing I can do about it.
But at least, you know, give me some.
Give me a break in other words.
Don't be so harsh on me.
This was who?
This was Muhammad ï·º.
That was in touch with Allah through whom?
Through Jibreel.
He was directly in touch with Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And he was the beloved of Allah.
And all these 10 years, the second thing
he used to do was every Hajj.
You know the time, the people of Jahiliyyah
also went for Hajj.
People of Jahiliyyah, the worshippers, I mean the
worshippers of idols, they also came for Hajj
every year.
So every year for 10 years, the people
used to go to them when they were
on Mina.
And went to every tribe.
Lots of tribes came from all over Arabia.
And he so asked him, please can you
just help me to give this dawah?
Can you just assist me?
I don't want you to become a Muslim.
Assist me in my dawah.
Assist me in what I'm calling to, to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
They all refused.
Don't accept.
So he was, at the time, his lowest
moment in his life was the Prophet ï·º
didn't know where to turn now.
He didn't know the rest of Arabia.
He lived his whole life in Mecca.
He never saw Medina.
He went to trade in, in the north,
northern countries, southern countries.
But Arabia, he didn't know.
He only knew the people of Mecca.
So what to do now?
What was he going to do?
Oh, what does Allah, like the people in
Gaza.
I mean many of them lived there since
the time of their great-great-great-grandparents.
They had nowhere else to go.
Not that they only don't have anywhere else
to go.
All the Muslim countries have closed their borders.
Subhanallah.
And so it fell to the Prophet ï·º
that the Quraysh was now starting to attack
the Muslims.
They was trying to kill the small band
of Muslims that became, then accepted Islam in
Mecca.
So what happened?
How did the fortunes of the Prophet ï·º
change?
We may say how our fortunes with the
people of Gaza changed.
I'm asking you the questions.
This man, Muhammad ï·º was there in this
place called Mecca.
He maybe had about 50 converts or 60
converts in 10 years.
So he lost.
I mean, where is he going to go
now?
He's gone to the, he's gone to Taif,
which is the nearest place.
People already know.
He thought they would accept Islam.
All the non-believers came to Fahad and
he thought maybe they will be, they will
at least listen to him and encourage him.
Aisha bin Dilawat al-'Anbiha.
After Allah decided what he was going to
give the Prophet ï·º as a gift, Allah,
Aisha said to all the people, that the
Battle of Bu'ath was the gift that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave to Muhammad
ï·º.
Now what is the Battle of Bu'ath?
The Battle of Bu'ath, there were two
tribes in Madinah.
Remember the Prophet ï·º had nothing to do
with Madinah.
He had zero to do with Madinah.
He was never there.
He didn't know anybody from Madinah.
He had zero.
Like, I mean, if you ask me about
Tabbaq too, I would say, well, you know,
read about it, but never been there.
Aisha used to tell the people, Allah gave
the Battle of Bu'ath as a gift
from himself to Muhammad ï·º.
Allah saw the state of the world.
But this thing that happened only happened five
years later.
Five years later.
What happened?
There were two tribes in what was then
known as, not Madinah, Yathrib.
That was the name given by who?
By the idol worshippers.
There were two idol worship tribes in Madinah.
Two tribes.
Both of them were idol worshippers.
One's name was the Aus and the Khazraj.
Aus and Khazraj.
Two tribes.
These tribes also wanted nothing to do with
Muhammad ï·º.
They were idol worshippers.
Then there were maybe a tribe or two
of Jews in Madinah.
They also didn't like the Prophet ï·º.
They used to like him until they found
a Jew who was an Arab.
Why did they like him before?
Because their scriptures told them that a man
was going to come from Arabia and he
was going to become the Prophet of the
Jews.
But the Jews assumed that he would be
a Jew as well.
So in the end, he wasn't a Jew.
Even if God tells us he's going to
be a Jew, we don't accept it.
He's not a Jew.
So these two tribes, the Aus and the
Khazraj, they never liked each other.
And they were always fighting with each other.
Both were from Yemen.
They used to get up in the morning,
dress themselves in their clothes of fighting, go
to the battlefield and fight.
Every single morning they would go out and
fight with each other.
We don't like that yet.
May Allah protect us.
So for years and years and years, nobody
means it.
And one day, this battle that happened was
called the Battle of Bu'a.
Not Mu'a, Bu'a.
What happened on this day?
On this day, as normal, the Aus and
the Khazraj went out with their swords or
whatever they had on the battlefield.
And at this Battle of Bu'a, the
leadership of both tribes were killed.
We must never doubt the love that Allah
has for this homeland, for His Prophet Muhammad.
We must never doubt that victory is ours.
Allah makes a promise in the Quran that
we will be victorious.
That this thing will reach the interior of
every home, every place where people stay.
Islam will enter that home and Islam will
take over that home.
So the leaders are dead, killed.
So now Medina was leaderless.
No leaders.
So now these two tribes stopped fighting because
they had no leaders and everybody was concerned
about leadership.
It's very important.
Most important part of Islamic life is to
have a leader that leads you.
Even in your prayer, you have a leader
that leads you.
The battlefield, everywhere.
And they were stuck.
They don't take the Jews, the Jews don't
take them.
So these two tribes used to come for
Hajj every year.
There was one year when they came out
and they lost their leadership.
When they said to themselves, ah, you know,
there's a prophet in Medina.
He's a good man.
Good man.
Let us ask him to become our leader.
And of course, story is a very famous
story.
They came to the Prophet and said, we
will support you.
And they became Muslims.
And they went back.
And when the Prophet, peace be upon him,
made hijrah from Mecca to Medina, he called
them, not Hazrat anymore.
They now became the Ansar.
Ansar means?
Helpers.
The helpers.
So this is how Allah, subhanahu wa ta
'ala, planned the victory of Muhammad.
Of course, he didn't leave Mecca as a
victor.
He left Mecca to run away from Mecca.
Go at night.
And remember that Medina is 500 kilometers away
from Mecca.
500, approximately 500.
Maybe 450.
Or 60 kilometers away.
So it was far away, wasn't it?
It was the neighbors.
So Aisha is to say that this was
the difference.
They all came.
Obviously, what happened was he became the leader.
Even became the leader of the Jews.
Everybody in Medina voted for him as their
leader.
Even those people who were not yet converted
to Islam.
Subhanallah.
So don't despair in the plan of Allah,
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Allah is going to plan for you, for
your wife, for your children, for your neighbors,
for your country, for your people, for the
Muslims.
So Allah is in charge.
This earth is just so small compared to
the universe.
So small.
A tiny, you can't see it under a
microscope.
If Allah is in charge of this whole
big universe, subhanallah.
And remember Allah is looking at you all
the time and at me all the time.
We are always under the surveillance of Allah,
subhanallah.
And what does Allah look at?
Does Allah listen to what we say?
Not very much.
Allah looks at what we think and what
we feel.
Nobody can see this and nobody can see
it except Allah, subhanallah.
Nobody can listen to you.
So Allah's father is looking at you all
and saying, let's see the strength of the
Muslim heart.
Let's see how they depend on me.
Let's see what their tawakkud is like on
me.
That's to Allah.
Not, you know, they're in dismay, they give
up.
You know, the groceries are going up, milk
is going up, we pay for water, you
know, we don't know about tomorrow.
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
Don't you worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow belongs to Allah.
Tomorrow doesn't exist.
Tomorrow will only exist when the sun rises
tomorrow.
Today, there is no tomorrow, as they always
say.
Show me tomorrow, who's living tomorrow?
Nobody.
The only one who knows about tomorrow is
Allah, who subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So we have to put our faith, whether
we like it or not, in Allah, subhanallah.
And it's a joy for us to put
our faith in Allah, subhanallah.
Because we know that from Allah, subhanallah, comes
victory.
You can have all the muscle in the
world, all the airplanes in the world, all
the bombs in the world, everything in the
world.
How will the West lose the battle?
I said to you last week.
How did Allah, subhanallah, say to Quran, how
will the West lose the battle?
What did I say?
Will they lose the battle on the battlefield?
No.
They can't lose the battle on the battlefield.
It's too much against them.
So how will they win?
How will Hussain win this battle against the
West?
No.
We will win this battle.
This world battle, Allah, subhanallah, says.
Not by them having all the arms that
they have, and all the bombs that they
have, and all the nuclear weapons that they
have, and owning all the TV sets and
whatever, what do you call it, media.
No, they're not going to win.
They're going to win by losing what?
By losing what?
No, I didn't do this last week, week
before last.
So your memories are shorter than mine.
I appreciate that.
Hmm?
You weren't there.
Okay.
Allah, subhanallah, says, we are going to win
this war by them losing their money.
Remember?
By them losing their wealth.
The West will lose their wealth.
Because what are they depending on now?
On their wealth.
But if you read through the, if you
read the newspapers, you will read how the
wealth is becoming nothing.
The dollar is going.
Cryptocurrency is maybe taking over.
Europe is bankrupt, they don't say this, but
they don't have money.
And America could only pay, they could only
give so much in charity to Israel.
They can only give so much.
Allah is patient.
Allah is patient.
And what is happening?
Things are happening in front of us.
These things are falling in front of us.
They are surreal.
Alhamdulillah, it's in a better wicket.
Alhamdulillah, we make dua that Allah, subhanallah, should
give them success in this new venture of
theirs.
Inshallah.
Allah, subhanallah, make, remember, where is Tabi Isa
going to come?
Where is he going to come?
In which place?
Syria.
Tabi Isa is going to come down in
Damascus.
Is it?
So, if you know a little bit of
the history, what does it tell you?
Allah is doing what?
What is Allah doing?
Allah is preparing.
Allah is preparing in front of us.
We should ask Tabi Isa to come there.
People are killing each other.
They are killing Tabi Isa also, you know.
In one week, this new people took over
the country.
In one week.
Subhanallah.
They will empower the Assad for what?
How many years?
20 years?
25 years?
Because Allah can do it.
In one week, Allah can do it.
So, when we look at the Middle East,
we should not be dismayed.
We should be heartful and thankful that we
are Muslim.
We should be heartful and thankful that our
children do this.
That this is the message that we can
give them.
That this is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We always think Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is what?
Just waiting to punish us.
Looking at us.
Seeing what we do wrong.
And then we do all kinds of funny
things to be forgiven.
We joined this group because that group says,
you know, don't worry.
They are like, you know, don't worry.
We will sort you out.
Other group comes.
That group also says, my leader will sort
you out.
Don't worry.
Isn't it?
Then we go from that group to that
group to that group until Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, if He wishes, He will guide
us.
Inna Allah yahdi man yashad.
I think you can do what you want.
Allah will guide you.
If you want to be guided, you say,
Allah, I want to be guided.
I want to be a good Muslim.
I want to go to Germany.
Then don't go out of your door and
look for somebody.
Say, Allah will guide you.
That is what Allah does.
Allah guides.
And when you're not doing the right thing,
Allah guides.
I was telling this hadith to my grandson
yesterday.
He is about 12 years old.
But he always wants to know, you know,
what's happening in the other world?
What's happening in the other world?
How is Allah, you know?
Who is Allah?
Children have to be these questions.
So I still need to tell a hadith
about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala once gathered the
malaika and said to them, I want to
tell you about the last person who is
going to come out of Jahannam.
Now what does that mean?
That means the last person will come out
of Jahannam.
The last person.
So what kind of person would you think
would that man be?
If he is the last person to be
in Jahannam of the Muslims, then he must
have been the worst person, isn't it?
There's nobody worse than a man who comes
last out of Jahannam.
So as he is coming out of Jahannam,
he throws himself on the lawn outside the
Jahannam.
And he says, Ya Allah.
Like women say shukran.
Ya Allah, alhamdulillah.
Ya Allah, I thank you.
This is the best day of my life.
Alhamdulillah, you saved me.
Alhamdulillah.
After a while, after he's become used to
that he's out of Jahannam, he says to
Allah, Ya Allah, I just want one thing
to ask, one favor to ask.
So Allah says, Allah, you see that tree
over there?
There's a tree standing there.
Can I just go and sit under that
tree, under the shade of that tree?
So Allah says to him, No more, no
more, no more, no more favors.
Okay, no more favors.
Don't ask me for anything.
Don't ask me for anything anymore.
So he says, Oh, I promise, Ya Allah,
I will not ask you for anything.
I just want to sit under that tree.
So he goes and sits under the tree
for a while.
And he says, Ya Allah, another, I put
another question.
This is the last favor that I'm going
to say.
Allah says, You promised me, then you're going
to ask me.
He says, just this one.
Allah says, what is this?
He says, there's another tree.
There's a little river running under that tree.
Can't I just go and wash myself?
I just came out of Jahannam.
Can't I just go wash myself in that
little stream, you know?
Get the coolness after probably billions of years
in Jahannam.
Billions of years in Jahannam.
So Allah says, final request.
Go.
Sit under it.
Go and drink of the water.
So as he's sitting there, he's coming fully
conscious of where he is and what he
is.
So he hears the people, how the people
are enjoying themselves in the Jahannam.
He can see the doors of the Jahannam.
Closed of course.
So what do you think he does?
He says, Ya Allah, can I just, I
just want to go closer to the door
of the Jahannam.
And just, I just want to listen to
my fellow human beings, you know, how they're
enjoying themselves.
Allah says.
So Allah didn't say glasses.
Allah says, okay.
And he says, oh, okay.
Can I also just go inside?
He says, of course you can go inside.
All your sins are now forgiven.
You can go inside.
So he goes inside and he comes out.
Allah says, why are you coming out?
You're so in Jahannam.
Why are you in Jahannam?
He says, He says, Ya Rabb, the Jahannam
is full.
Full.
Allah says, what?
He says, yes.
Allah says, go back, go quickly.
Go inside.
He goes back inside.
He says, Ya Allah, the Jahannam is full.
No place for me.
So Allah swt looks at him and Allah
smiles at him.
And Allah says to him, Abdeen, my servant,
my slave.
What did you say if I tell you
that the Jannah I've prepared for you is
ten times the size of the Dunya?
So he says, Ya Allah, Dunya tells you.
Just like you say, Ya Allah, I, I,
I, What is this?
What are you doing to me?
How can you tell me this?
Allah laughed.
He said, you are the Lord of the
Universe.
You tell me that you've given me my
size of the Jannah is equal to ten.
He said, what is this?
This is not of the coming.
Nabi s.a.w. said, when he said
that to Allah that you are the Lord
of the Universe and I'm doing the jokes
with you, Allah laughed.
So when the action was not very interesting,
Allah laughed.
He says, blessed be Allah.
Certainly the Nabi s.a.w. said, so
it must be so.
And this hadith is in Bukhari and it's
in Muslim.
So it's not some fairy tale.
So the Sahaba, when they narrated this hadith
to their friends, when they came to this,
where Allah s.w.t laughed, they laughed.
And the Sahaba said, why are you laughing?
He said, because the Prophet laughed.
When Allah laughed, the Prophet laughed.
So Allah s.w.t, and I said,
is this Allah?
I said, yes, that is Allah.
That is Allah.
I said, if Allah made billions of people
who laughed, does He have no laughing?
So, that is Allah s.w.t. That
is the mercy of Allah s.w.t.
Mercy.
So when we think about Allah, we must
have these images.
You can't imagine Allah s.w.t. Allah
s.w.t says, Allah s.w.t
says, I am who my servant thinks I
am.
If you continuously think that Allah s.w
.t is going to punish you, that's just
an effort.
But if you continuously think, Ya Allah, make
it doable.
Ya Allah, ask His forgiveness.
And when you get a nice feeling over
you, then you must stop.
Allah s.w.t is forgiving.
So, Allah s.w.t says, then the
pain will come to fruition.
Inshallah.
And it's going to be soon.
Allah s.w.t created a place for
Isa to come down.
You're wondering, what is Isa going to do?
Isa is going to do what?
What is his main function?
He's going to kill Dajjal.
Where is he going to kill Dajjal?
Majid al-Aqsa.
So, what does it mean by Majid al
-Aqsa?
Majid al-Aqsa, all of that part of
the world will become Muslims.
Isa will go with an army.
May Allah s.w.t give that our
offspring must be part of that army.
Inshallah.
Amin.
Tumba amin.
Tumba amin.
So, we must...
Yes, you must give charity.
Yes, you must send money to Gaza.
But don't...
Don't think the West will ever win this
war.
They never won.
They've never won against Muslims.
Every war that they fought against Muslims, they
lost.
Afghanistan.
The Soviet Union was 10 years in Afghanistan.
Americans were 20 years in Afghanistan.
They bombed the mountains.
They made all these mountains to find who?
Bin Laden.
They had to run away from there.
Behind the airplanes.
They had to run behind the airplanes.
They couldn't even get out.
They went to Iraq.
They said, we're destroying Iraq.
Iraq is so stupid.
They went to Vietnam.
The Vietnamese are happy.
They bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Dropped bombs on them.
10 countries now richer than what they are.
SubhanAllah.
SubhanAllah.
May Allah s.w.t grant that...
Allah will guide us to Islam.
Allah will guide us to the truth.
Allah must guide us to use the mind
that He's given.
Allah has given us a mind.
Every one of us have a sub-effort.
He's particular, special mind.
Why?
Because you can't stand in front of Allah
and say, Fatiha Allah, I listened to Sheikh
so-and-so and Mr. so-and-so.
It's not giving you a sign.
What did you do with it?
What did you do with it?
This is what I gave you.
You only became a doctor and a lawyer
and you encouraged your children to become that
but you never taught them how to use
it to appreciate the wonders of Allah s
.w.t. We're not in the time of
children of Hadith that we would appreciate the
wonders of Allah s.w.t. In the
Eastern Islam, we conquered the known...
Islam conquered the known civilized world, the whole
of the known civilized world when they were
a part of it.
What did they do?
A couple of years.
Last night, I was waiting for the adhan
from Mahdi on regular 7 and 6.
And there was a man speaking on it
and it's obviously from the people who believe
that we should only follow the Qur'an.
He's for the Qur'aniyun.
But what he said when my wife said,
why are you so upset?
I said, I'm not upset.
He said that the Hadith of the Nabi
s.a.w. started only 300 years after
his death.
And he said that is the biggest problem
in Islamic community.
He said the Hadith that people listen to
and believe in came into existence only 300
years after the death of the Nabi s
.a.w. And what happened after 300 years?
All the trouble among the Muslims began.
Alhamdulillah.
If he had been in my lounge there,
I would have killed him.
So I want to ask him a simple
question.
Qur'an came to Muhammad s.a.w.
Qur'an came to him, isn't it?
How come we have the same Qur'an
today?
How did that happen?
How did it happen that we have the
same Qur'an today?
It happened like this.
Qur'an came, the Sahaba memorized the Qur
'an, but what happened also?
Every verse of the Qur'an was written
down.
But more importantly, what was the big deal
that Allah gave to the Arabs?
The memory.
So they memorized the whole Qur'an.
Didn't they love it?
And what did they do when the Prophet
said a hadith?
They memorized it.
Not only that, the West has been hiding
the knowledge about their hadith and the history
of hadith.
The history of hadith is Abu Uraila had
a student who wrote down every single hadith
that he heard from the Prophet s.a
.w. And Abu Uraila, he had a student
also from Yemen and he used to ask
the Prophet s.a.w. every day, I
gave you this hadith, is it correct?
We wrote it down.
That original, that original writing down of Abu
Uraila, those hadith which he memorized, is to
be found in three archives in your home.
One copied from the original, another copied from
the original.
So those people who say that Prophet s
.a.w. said don't write down hadith, that
is false.
That is a falsehood that people like the
Qur'an, you come and say, no, no,
how can you, Prophet s.a.w. said
don't write it down.
Prophet s.a.w. gave the right to
write down hadith to people that teach us.
So just as the hadith came down to
us, the Qur'an came down to us.
In writing and in memory.
If the Qur'an is intact, hadith is
also intact.
Those hadith which Allah s.w.t. wanted
to protect, Allah protects.
The Qur'an is also, that the Qur
'an will not be changed by anybody.
ShukranAllahu ta'ala.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi ta'ala.
I made it through.
Everything that happens, happens by the will of
Allah s.w.t. Everything that happens, if
I forget something, by the will of Allah.
Just do the job.
I kept you a little longer again today,
but this will be the last time.
Imam is coming back.
I'm not doing this because he's not here,
but if he was here, I wouldn't have
gone over my...
I'm going to thank him, don't worry.
He's my friend, you will understand.
Al Fatiha.
