Haifaa Younis – Builders of a Nation #16 – Maimoonah bnt al Harith (ra)

			In South Africa rahmatullahi wa barakato Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. We are going to be
continuing the journey and living with another builder of this nation. This time, the name is Mia
Munna may mourn Herb interhealth unique woman, and there is uniqueness in her in specially in her
marriage. So she was born and lived in Makkah, and she comes from a normal family. Interesting. Her
name was not Maimunah in fact, her name was Barbara. But when a Roswaal a salatu salam married her,
he actually changed it to a Munna, which means a blessings or a woman who is blessed, or a person or
a woman who brings blessing and Baraka May Allah make us all of that. Her family is very unique. Her
		

			sister Lumina, she was the second woman who accepted Islam. Her half sister, see design a winter
Hoceima which is one of the wives of Rasul Allah, His Salah to Sarah. She is the act of saving 100
million Waleed and Abdullah have nobis two icons of the Muslims. She embraced Islam before the
Hijra. And she stayed in Makkah, and then moved to Medina three years after her marriage to Rasul
Allah salatu center for characters she was described.
		

			May Allah give us all this? Number one she was described as a pious woman, or Swati. His salatu
salam said about her. She is the symbol of goodness. What did she do that her husband describe her
like this second, very affectionate to her relatives. And you see this, when you see the Hadith and
the scenes of Rasul Allah salatu salam that she narrated one of her relatives, usually, in the chain
of narration described as being proactive. What does that mean? She was the one who wanted to marry
Roswaal Esau to Sara, she, in fact, is a three stories are three possibilities. Either she send her
relative, the husband of her sister, to go and propose to her Swati salatu salam. And another story
		

			said, in fact, she proposed the Rasul Allah saw to Sudan directly when they were in a caravan. And
another one, she said another relative of her, she approached him to go and proposta Rasul Allah
Sato, Sarah, she wanted to be one of the Mothers of the Believers and who doesn't want to be, as we
have been covering in the series, the surah tool ZURB, the Confederate and the Quran covers a lot of
the incidents around the Rosaria salatu salam in his house with his family. She proposed to Roswaal
as auto Sara, as she wanted to be one of the Mothers of the Believers. And one verse, which is verse
50. What Allah subhanho wa Taala was describing or telinga Roswaal a salatu salam, which woman you
		

			can marry, or you can't marry. One of them is the woman who proposed the Rasul Allah salatu Sinha,
scholar says this has saved me Mona. Now the fourth one is one of her legacies. Actually, she was or
she is still regarded as one of the authorities in many of the sayings of Ross, Swati salatu salam
related to ruling the rulings of how do we perform things in Islam is actually related by Seder
Maimunah. For example, the Islamic bath, the hosel it's described by her and she said I prepared the
water for Rasul Allah salatu, sunnah, and then she went on and described exactly what he did. So not
only described the minimum needed for the Islamic bath, but actually the Sunnah, how he did it, Ali,
		

			his Salah to a sinner. Another one, which is really interesting and many of us knows this about the
virtues of the mosques, especially the Mosque of Rasul Allah Salatu was set up. In fact, this hadith
was narrated by her there is a woman in Medina who she was ill and she said, if Allah subhanaw taala
cured me I am going to go and pray in the Masjid Al Aqsa in Jerusalem. So Allah subhanaw taala cured
her and she was seeing this to see me Mona and see me when I told her Don't go, stay where you are
and eat from the food you are making. rather pray in the mosque of Roswaal ASR to a Sudan because I
heard him singing, praying in my masjid, meaning the masjid offer Rasul Allah He saw to a certain
		

			better than 1000 Stein better then pray
		

			In any other mosque, other than I will be to her on the masjid in Makkah. And the third thing which
is very interesting, is actually described as it she also is very considerate and caring. She was
sitting with Rasul Allah salatu salam, and say Nahata didn't unworried and then fogal her brother in
law, and they brought food Tura Swati saw to Sarah. And the food had neat. And as about a Rosaria
salatu salam to pick up that piece of meat. She said to him, this is a meat of a lizard. And Allah
soiree salatu salam puts it back and he said, I don't eat that meat. If you want, you can eat. So
this tells us and teaches us that it sometimes I was sorry, salatu salam, when he says I don't eat
		

			or I don't do this is his preference as a human being. So it's not the ruling, ruling, don't eat
seydel Fabu and say now Hurdman will eat they ate it. She didn't. But look at what she said. She
said I am not going to eat something. My husband or Rosaria salatu salam doesn't eat, very
considerate. One of the narrations that she also narrated and taught to us Muslims and important
ruling of hedge is that on the day of our alpha, and our Swati salatu salam was standing in our
alpha and people wanted to know, was he fasting or he was not. Now we all know that the companions
had so much etiquettes and all and respect to Roswell is auto certain that they don't ask him the
		

			right questions, but they wanted to know, so should they do it or not? So what did she do? She
actually brought two milk to him, and he drank it. And then everybody knew that the person in hedge
should not fast on the day of alpha out alpha. So again, out of her etiquettes and taking care of
her husband, she passed in the 61 year after Hijra. Interestingly, he was not buried in Bucky,
actually, she was buried in sort of on the outskirts of Makkah, the most important thing that we all
need to look and say to ourselves, What will people say about us after we die
		

			and see what to say to Aisha or again, is our to woman, married to the same man said about her.
After she died, secede. Aisha looked and says there is no more than a mourner by Allah. She was the
most pious among us. And she was the most caring of her relatives. The reasons she said she's the
most pious she was talking to herself, say to her, if you're saying Maimunah is gone. Now you can do
whatever you like. Yeah, Heisha. She was by Allah, the most pious. Now you can imagine, say that. So
what did she do? Everything pleasing to Allah, still or yet? So you don't mean when I was like the
person she looks up? hi to her, in case there's something that needs to be done better in her
		

			funeral procession. Of course, her family were there saying Abdullah nobis the Hebrew depend? The
most knowledgeable man of Islam was actually in her procession. And she was buried in the outskirts
of Makkah. May Allah Subhana Allah bless her. May Allah subhanaw taala make us follow her footsteps
and make us all builders. Oh,
