00:00:44 --> 00:00:49
			The month of Muharram signifies the beginning of a new Islamic calendar
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			and just is the Jews, the Christians, the Hindus have their own calendar.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:06
			Likewise, the Muslims also have their own unique calendar, which is called the hijiri calendar.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:15
			And the hijiri calendar is just as relevant today as it was in the past.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			There are a burden of a Muslim revolves around the Muslim calendar.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:29
			Yes, aluna carnian a Hindu hole here Mr. Tolin nurse you will have
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:42
			they came through Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and they asked him Olivia for law. What is
the matter? Why do we see the wax in in the waning of the moon? What is behind that?
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			The simple answer the Prophet of Allah gave
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			that we use the moon to determine our ibadah and all other rituals that is found.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:01
			A Muslim woman will complete hide according to the lunar calendar and not the English calendar.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:14
			A Muslim men, a Muslim woman will discharge this car according to the lunar calendar and not the
Gregorian calendar.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:30
			And I need to emphasize here that those who are running businesses, as well as those who are
discharging the person is the car. It is important to use the lunar calendar and not the Gregorian
calendar.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:43
			If the man has stipulated the first of shorewall as his date for giving out the car, then every year
he needs to give out his car on the first of Shahar.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:09
			He cannot stipulate the English calendar for discharging his car, he cannot say that the first of
March I will give out my cell car. The English calendar cannot be taken into account simply because
of the difference of days between the English calendar and the lunar calendar. So the lunar calendar
is relevant today as it was relevant at that time.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:19
			For those who are intending to perform Hajj for them to determine the day of arafah is important to
follow the lunar calendar
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:27
			for Muslims throughout the globe for them to commence the month of Ramadan. They depend on the
siting of the moon.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:42
			And so we understand that the lunar calendar is important to a believer, wherever he may be, whether
he's living within a Islamic State are not the lunar calendar still important for him to follow.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:06
			Now I want to give you some historical perspective to the lunar calendar. It is known as the hijiri
calendar. If you look at this historically, during the failure for former mahapatra, the a lot on
who the governor's that were working under him wrote to him stating that oh lord Nepal, you send us
orders.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:15
			But we find it difficult to ascertain as to which order of yours came first, and which order came
second.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:29
			We request you to come up with some system where we can take our orders so that it becomes easier
for us to relate to your orders. And it becomes easy for us to carry out those commands of yours.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			Say that you have called up the executive committee for sure.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:44
			And he put the metal forward and he table this motion and he said to the people, we need to come up
with some system in terms of our dating.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:59
			So some Sahaba suggested let's go with the Persian calendar as it is already in existence. But
Sahaba felt that it needs to have an Islamic flavor to it. And so let's come up with something that
is more central to us as Muslims than before.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:09
			It is at that time that Sahaba gave various opinions as to what should be the central theme for the
hijiri calendar.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:17
			So some Sahaba said, let's look at the birth of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi Salaam because that
seems to be something significant.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			Some Sahaba suggested other events.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:39
			Finally, it was agreed upon that we will use the hegira. We will use the hegira as a central theme
to our calendar, and our calendar will be called the hijiri calendar after the migration of
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in the Sahaba
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:46
			language mine. It is at that point, which was decided to call it the Hijri calendar.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:04
			Bear in mind that the the Islamic months were already there. Muharram sufferable were already there,
which was still taking place in the ledger. People were still fasting during the month of Ramadan,
but it was just a matter of bringing uniformity to the system.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:16
			Now the question arises here, why was the event of hedgerows chosen for the calendar? I mean, there
were significant events like the birth of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi Salaam,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:37
			the Battle of butter, which was the decisive battle for Muslims, the petal of the Battle of hunted
up and many other events like the changing of the Qibla there were many other events that transpired
in the Muslim calendar. Why was it that the Muslims decided to choose the heater off for the
calendar
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			because his ra was the deciding factor at that time.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:55
			It was compulsory, it was incumbent upon every person who was a Muslim at that time for him to make
hegira from Makkah to makara mata Madina, munawwara
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			and let's understand this from its historical perspective.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:17
			As days and months went by the Quran became very brutal in the policies towards the Muslims. They
made life unbearable for the Muslims. As a result, many Muslims migrated to Abba sr, which is known
as how the Shah
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:39
			later on. Later on Allah subhanaw taala sent out relief in the form of the unsought of Medina. If
they accepted Islam, they pledged their support to Rasulullah Salallahu alaihe salam, and they
requested the prophet of a law to migrate from Mecca to Medina to munawwara.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:52
			After Divine Decree the Prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave the order to the Sahaba
that now the Muslims should migrate from Mecca to Medina to munawwara.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:58
			Many Sahaba made the hegira individually as well as collectively.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:27
			Likewise, Satan, Abu Bakar, to vote on who came to the prophet of a lion, he said, I want to hear
from God give me ijazah Give me the permission to migrate Madina, munawwara the Prophet of Allah
said, Don't be in a hurry, oh, Vicar of law will country companion just wait for the moment. I want
you to follow the details of the journey because I want to draw lessons that we can take and
implement in our own life today insha Allah.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:45
			I saw the amount on hand the rates, that without failure, the prophet of Allah would visit our house
on a daily basis. It would either be in the morning, or it would either be in the evening but he
came to our house every day.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:56
			She says the day when Allah gave the permission to migrate to Marietta to munawwara the profit of a
law came to our house at an odd hour.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			He came to our house at noon,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			at a time when people are generally not out of the house.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:36
			When I go back to vote on who saw the profitable work coming towards the house, he said to Ayesha,
Surely there's something important that has come up. There's a pressing need which has pushed the
profit of a lot of his outs and to come visit us at this hour of the day. The Prophet of Allah
enters the house, he greets the inhabitants and the first thing he says to avocado villalta Allahu
removed from my presence whoever is here at the moment
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:45
			of a worker of the lotano said there is nobody in the house except my two daughters, a smirk and I
shall do a lot on humor.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			The Prophet of Allah said Oh, boubakeur, Allah has given us the permission to migrate to Madina,
munawwara
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			and subhana wa aboubaker was tearing he was in tears.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:15
			of joy, because this meant that aboubaker was going to accompany him on the hegira and aboubaker do
tala know tell him that Olivia from LA I have prepared two camels of the best breed for this journey
and for this occasion.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:25
			And the next thing they do is they hire out a guy. And amazing. The guy was a non Muslim. He was a
Muslim.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:57
			They hired a guy to take them to Manila to munawwara. They told Abdullah bin or a thief who was the
Michelin Guide that year our two camels, you keep them with you, so handlebar how much of confidence
he had in him. And when we tell you, when we inform you, you should meet us at a certain place in a
certain time. He agreed. In the darkness of the night. They made the exit out of Macau, and they go
to the cave of food.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			They camped there for three nights.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:15
			And look at the planning of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, the family of Abu Bakar the obatala, who
played a very pivotal role in the hegira of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, his son of the law being a
be Becker.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:44
			He was an intelligence officer. During the day he would collect information in Makkah and he would
listen to what is happening. And during the night he would go back to the cave and inform the
prophet of allowing his father as to what's happening in Makkah. On a beautiful North today the
Croatia plan India decided on this. So he was providing intelligence. His other daughter a smarter
to vote on her also played a very pivotal role.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			She provided the food for the journey.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:54
			And later on, I'll discuss what an important role she played in this journey.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:04
			The slave of aboubaker the low tide and who would bring the herd of sheep at night, and he would
provide mode to the Prophet of Allah and meat to them.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:22
			The call is made in muckety, muck Rama, that who ever finds Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
dead or alive for him is 100 camels. And this third of the greed within people and they went out in
pursuit of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:13:13
			So Robin Monaco also followed and the incident is lengthy I'm not going to go into it. But
eventually the Prophet of Allah sallallahu Sallam leaves mocha mocha Rama and he uses an unusual
path to go to Medina to munawwara and his final moments looking at Mecca and the Kaaba and he said
yamaka Toma October came in better than what I have, but la Lola and Acoma, Accra junie Min Ki llama
second to Hauraki omaka You are so beloved to me with a teary eye is looking at mechanism. You are
so beloved to me. Had it not be in the oppression of my people. I would not have resided in any
other part of the world except you omaka with a heavy heart He lives in mocha Rama. He passes food
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:40
			aid at the residence of Marlboro to Malta. He goes to Cuba he spends few days in Cuba. He
establishes the first Masjid Mr. kuva, which also panatela speaks about in the Quran. Lovers
children Osama taqwa mean over to me I have put under Puma Fie, Fie region, a Buddha takaharu Allahu
Akbar hearin. Allah speaks of this in the Quran. He finally comes to Madina, munawwara and people
are excited.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:14:00
			People are excited to receive Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, the young girls started singing for the
Albert ralina menthone. Yet in VEDA, the prophet of Allah said a lot Islam is welcome in this manner
in Medina to munawwara this is the journey of hegira I want to draw some lessons for us today.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:15
			And I want you to look at the Prophet of Allah not just as a prophet Subhana Allah, He taught us so
many valuable lessons. Look at the detail planning of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in terms of
executing his plan.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:23
			First of all, he visited Abubakar rodeo logged on and who at an odd hour.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:33
			In one duration, it is mentioned that the prophet of award wrapped himself in a show he covered his
face and his head so that people could not make our booties.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:53
			He kept this mission secret, besides the house of God a lot on who and earlier to multilotto nobody
else knew of the mission. This tells us that when you are executing important tasks in life, you
need to take all these measures into account.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			Number two, the profit of a law firm hired and experienced
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			For the journey, he hired a policy as a missionary Abdulla retreat as the guide.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:19
			This tells you that at times you require the expertise of others in life, you can't do everything on
your own. he relied on the expertise of others also, indeed our coolest day.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:16:06
			But look at how the Prophet of Allah taught us how to rely on almost panatela. He took everything
possible in his own capacity. Number three, he appointed an intelligence officer Abdullah bin Abu
Bakar, who would gather information during the course of the day, because he needed to be aware of
what is happening. This is my plane. But what if the plane changes in Makkah, I need to be away. And
accordingly, I need to adapt and make amendments to my own planning number for the total of
aboubaker asthma. gras played a very important role in the journey. She would provide the food for
the journey number one, number two, when she returned home about johal and a few people of courage
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:27
			came knocking at the door of Abu Bakar. And he asked, Where is your father? She replied, I do not
know. He gave us such a severe blow. The third earring also fell down. But she did not give on any
information. Had she given out the information of the whereabouts of Rasulullah the entire mission
was compromised. So
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:50
			her grandfather comes into the house and he says he was not a Muslim at a time he says to her,
surely Your father has caused you financial difficulty has taken all your wealth. She said no, no,
my grandfather, she too quickly few stones and she put it in a bag and she said to the Father, look,
place your hand here. He left so much behind us, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:41
			Women have played an integral role in the making of the Muslim society. And they continue to play a
pivotal role in today's society. We cannot marginalize them. We cannot bar them. From the very
beginning. Look at the lowdown on how many other women that played a pivotal role in the mission of
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam Nobu. It started in the lap of Khadija de la Donna Anna and ended in
the lap of eyeshadow, the lowdown on how it started with the lady and ended with a lady. How can we
marginalize the women of Panama. Another important lesson, he took an unusual route to Medina
Subhana Allah Allahu Akbar. Today it is a highway boat on that the hegira Express. But look at how
		
00:17:41 --> 00:18:05
			much of planning the profitable law put into this journey. He is teaching us as the oma law Kanaka
to be the Prophet of Allah said, There is nothing like wealth planning. This teaches us as
believers, whenever we are preparing for anything in life, whether it's spiritual or non spiritual,
we must play to the best of our abilities.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:47
			Because the Prophet has taught us people say to our cool, I want to ask them this question. Look how
much of planning the Prophet of Allah did. That is the meaning of tawakkol. tawakkol means to do
whatever is in your capacity, and then to leave the result in the hands of law, that is the meaning
of tawakkol. And so you find in the in the cave, when the mushrikeen were looking for Muhammad
Sallallahu sallam, Abu Bakar became anxious. And he said on the behalf of law, there's a man
standing here, if he has to look down, they will support us and the mission is over. And this is
what the prophet of Allah is teaching the Amata wakulla. After taking all the measures into account,
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			he tells a worker
		
00:18:50 --> 00:19:14
			in Nevada, don't worry, as long as with us, he first did what he had to do. And then he said lies
with us. A while made the spider spun a web on the mouth of the cave. And a peach had to lay an egg.
And so the soldier says to himself, if there was somebody here, this web would not be there, and
this egg would not be in here. And naturally he left the cave and he went away.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:30
			So brothers, yeah, we learned so many lessons. And there is why the hegira has been the central
theme of the Islamic calendar. May Allah subhanaw taala give us the understanding in conclusion,
there is another hegira to be made today but others.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:44
			Aloha Giroux man hotjar ohata, Yahoo, a Mahajan, a traveler is that person who makes his journey
from one phase of his life to another phase of his life
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			where he abandons the life of sin and vice and evil and he makes his draw to the life of obedience
to Allah subhanho wa Taala we all need to make a draw. We all need to make the sacrifice
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:20
			Ice and allow will open the doors for us. It's about time that we look within our own life and do
some soul searching, we need to come on to Salah, we need to come on to Oran, we need to come on to
Vicar. We need to come on to the obedience of a law and the last person will see the new or in the
Baroque have a lot in your life.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:42
			So Panama. So let us make this intention, just as the Sahaba made the hegira which became the focal
point for the Muslims today, you and I need to make the hegira for the sake of a law so that
tomorrow our records can be amongst those who are pleasing Allah subhanaw taala Marlena Isabella
