00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			Wa raha'atulahi wa rakatul.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			Masha'Allah we,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			by Allah Ta'al's Fathil have reached this Mubarak
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			14th night
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			of
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			Ramadan,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			the night of the 2nd Jumuah of Ramadan.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give us from
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			its barakah and its nur
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Amin. May Allah ta'ala give us tawfiq.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			These Jum'as are only 4 this year
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			and they are not 5.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			And, it behooves us to take benefit in
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			these Mubarak nights and the days that follow
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			them and to not waste, any time or
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			any breath therein.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			The only thing a person will regret is
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			the good that they didn't do,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			in such Mubarak nights.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			So we continue our reading from,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Azer Sheikh Zakaria,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			Sheikoh Hadith,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			Kandlui,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:00:59
			Rahim
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			of the, Mavahir Ullum in Saharanpur,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			the Khalifa of
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			Mullana Rashid, Ahmed Ganguhi
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			through
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			his Khalifa,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			Azar Sheikh.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Hazrat Sheikh Khalil Ahmad Saharan Puri.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			Mullana Zakaria is a very interesting individual. He
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			left behind,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			a number of works,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			both in terms of his
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			writings,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			like this,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			like this book
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			or like
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			his commentary, the Ojazul Masalik on the Mu'tav
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			Imam Malik, like
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			his commentary in Urdu on the, Sh'mayl of
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			Imam Tirmidhi, like his compiling work for
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			the notes on Abu Dawud of his sheikh,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			Mullan Khil Ahmed.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			And also he left behind a number of
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:03
			men,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			a number of great men, who were his,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:06
			Khalafah.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			May Allah,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			give us a tawfiqah benefiting from those who
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			are still around.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			I met
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			by Allah's father I had the
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			honor of meeting a number of them several
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			of whom have passed from this world.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			Who I can think of,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			to this day that that's with us
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			is Mawana Bilal Bawa,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			who,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			is in the north of England.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			And,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			Masha'Allah, a member of the Masha'i from Saharanpur
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			came and were involved in the various efforts
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			of
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			Islam in,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			England and in South Africa.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			In England,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			in particular, Mawana Yusuf Mu'tala,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			the
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			founder of the Darulum in Bari.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			I had the honor of
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			trying to meet him once.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			I went to
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			a gathering in the Azhar Academy
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:04
			and
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			just the line to shake hands.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			It was so long.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			Just through seniority there was no way I
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			could have gotten to it because
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			I was
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			way down the line. Mufti Abdul Rahman Mangera,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			he was I think like 17 in line
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			by seniority,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			to meet the Sheikh
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			and
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			I hadn't I didn't have a dream so
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			I just kind of said salaam from afar.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			Alhamdulillah and you know my disposition has always
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			been not to bug the sheikh or to
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			kind of fanboy, fangirl,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			the mashaikh.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Why? Because the Maqsud of the tariqa is
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			the love of Allah ta'ala,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			not the love of the creation.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			And every other human every other, you know,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			created thing, every other human being
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			suffers from the weakness that comes with being
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			created,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			like you and me.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			And
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			in having mercy on that
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			is a great,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			wasila, it means to getting Allah's love.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			So I always try not to bother the
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			mashayikh.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			I always try not to ask stupid questions.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			I always try not to
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			bother them
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			or, you know, lick the cookie dough off
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			of the sides of the bowl.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			But like in the human interaction,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:22
			analog
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			thereof.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			I always tried to be helpful. I always
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			tried to smile. I always tried to, you
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			know, and not just hang out and be
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			like the 117th
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			person to shake hands,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			when you see that the sheikh's obviously tired
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			or whatever. I always try to be like
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			that, with the mashaikh.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			And,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			alhamdulillah, masha'a baith Allah Sfadhu, it's paid off.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			Maybe, you know, so we don't distract tonight's
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			majlis from our our reading from the Tasgirah,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			Masha'i Chishst,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			the remembrance and the recountance of the Masha'i
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			Chishst of Hazrat Sheikh. I I I'll limit
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			myself just to this,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			to to this one tangent
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:58
			that,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			Mawana Yousaf Mutala, I had a chance later
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			on to meet him.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			And it was actually, far more Mubarak
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			opportunity,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			than Azhar Academy. Even though Azhar Academy is
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			a great place too in London.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			Check out their bookstore, check out their, institution.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			Masha'Allah.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			I had an opportunity in Hajj
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:19
			and,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			Mufti Abdul Rahman was going to meet him.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			And so I just kinda tagged along with
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			him. God bless Mufti Saab. I've
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			tagged along and,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			bothered him in a number of different
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			interesting and wonderful
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			continents of this world. And so
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			he introduced me to,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			Sheikh Yousef Mutawah
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			And surprisingly,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			Sheikh Yousef, who apparently doesn't isn't very verbose
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			in his talking with people,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			He and I had had quite a long
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			and a very interesting and
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:56
			informal,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			discussion. Well, informal for him. For me, I
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			I usually am scared the daylights out of
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			when sitting in front of the moshai. Not
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			to say something particularly more stupid than the
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			normal things that I say.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			But even I surprise myself from time to
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			time. But at any rate, Masha'allah, he he
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			opened up and told me a lot of
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			different,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			interesting things. Many of which I won't mention
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			to you right now.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			But,
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			it was a it was a wonderful and
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			graceful meeting.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			Obviously, Milana Youssef, he passed away
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			not too long ago, in Toronto in the
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			path of Allah Ta'ala far from his home,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			in the service of Deen.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			May Allah
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			make his grave
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			a garden from the Gardens of Paradise and
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			fill it with Noor. And like that everybody
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:42
			who,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			everybody who died on iman and like that
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			everybody from the ulama and mashaikh of this
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			noble tariq
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			and from from them all of those who
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			passed away
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			far from their homes in the service of
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			the deen of Allah ta'ala.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			But at any rate, Masha'Allah Hazar Sheikh, he's
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			known both by his
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			works that he's authored
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			and as well, by the
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			the people who, he made. May Allah subhanahu
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			wa ta'ala
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:08
			give
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			us that the color of that dye should
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			also splash onto our clothes
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			and that we should be colored in it
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			as well even though,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			by Makan and Zaman. By time and place
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			we've been separated,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			from him,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			so far.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			A particularly
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			interesting book that he wrote by the way
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			is his Apti, his autobiography,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			which is in 6 volumes.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			The first five volumes are
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			translated in English and
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35
			sold separately.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			And, the 6th volume
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			which is in particular about saluk and about
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			the Sowof,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			I think the translators
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			stayed away from it because
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			they may have feared that the English speaking
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			audience wouldn't have an appetite for it.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			I found it in South Africa translated
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			and I bought it and it really is,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			that's, you know,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			the whole thing is wonderful but it really
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			is like there's a lot of kherinbarakah in
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			it. And, you know, much like many, sadly,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			many of the Ulema of the Oban in
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			the subcontinent,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			Those people who undertook translations of their works
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			have not been very good at what they
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			did and they didn't do it with Ihsan
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			and they did it with a type of
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			unprofessionalism,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:21
			which,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			fills my heart with anger.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			And,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			it's really sad and there's no justification for
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			it. It's not right.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			However, mashallah, the translations of the the the
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			2 chapter or the 2, different volumes 1
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			through 5 and then volume 6 of the
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			Abbitti of Hazr al Sheik,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:41
			aapb
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			e t I, which I think it's actually
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			sold under that name even in in the
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			English translation, Abbitti.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			Those are actually really those are actually really
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			decent translations. They're not flawless or of like
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			the a list variety, but they are they're
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			pretty good given
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			the difficulty of translating such works.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			And they're definitely good enough that if the
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			reader wants to find the the chered in
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			it, the good in it, they will find
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			it. And I do recommend that you
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			grab and read those books.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			You might find yourself, not able to put
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			them down.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			That's how interest interesting they are. But, for
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			now back to the tazkira mashayikhishst
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			and the discussion about the khulafa rashidun, the
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			khulafa of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			wa sallam.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			Hazar al Sheikh
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			in translation
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			says,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			since this treatise is a book about the
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			lives of the Sillsullah Chishtiya,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			The logical demand is to narrate the life
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			of Sayyidina Ali radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu Waqahu
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			after the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			Because in this silsula, Sayna Ali radiAllahu an
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			whose name appears after that of the Nabi
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			Akram Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			Nevertheless, something of the lives of the other
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			khulafa Rashidun will be presented here because in
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			reality,
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			the tavkira,
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			and the mention of the khulafa Rashidun
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			is necessary,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			a necessary addendum to the tawkeera of Rasool
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. In fact, it is
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			the closing chapter of the discussion of Rasool
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's life. Again, this is
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			a very Sunni idea
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			that even the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			in the Sahih Hadith.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			He
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:24
			he mentions
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			That as if the sunnah of the khulafaarashidun
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			is an extension of the sunnah of the
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			Azul Sheikh continues,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			according to some mashay, the 3 Khalifa radiAllahu
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			anhu play an important role in the spiritual
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			and moral excellences of Sayna Ali radiAllahu anhu
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:46
			himself,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			the head of the tariqa.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			Furthermore,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			these Mashaikh also narrate the mediums of the
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			Khalafar Rashidun
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			in the, 4,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			major chains of Tassaluf. There are 4 major
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			chains of the Sowef in the Indian subcontinent
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			and that's what he's talking about. Not to
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			say that there are only 4 tariqas in
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			the entire world.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			The Qadiriya, Chishtiya, Sohurvardiya, and Nakshbandiya.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			It is therefore considered appropriate to present brief
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			discussions of the 3 holafa before commencing,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			the name sequence of this treatise, meaning the
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			sequence of the Masha'i Chazee appear on the
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			Shajar HaMubarakah,
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			of the Tariq Heshishtiyyah.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			I'll add that,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			many hadith are narrated,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			even in the world of hadith, many hadith
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			are narrated
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			through different routes.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			And the only
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			only route or the only tariq or the
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			only, isnad
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			names that are mentioned are the ones that
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			are the shortest because if you narrate who
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			learned what from who,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			practically it will make the chains of narration
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			long and it will make the,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			books of hadith even longer and more, burden
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			cumbersome to memorize and narrate. So for that
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			reason, there's an idea in Isnaud called the
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:04
			Ulu
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			that, if you read something from somebody,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			and then you had an opportunity to hear
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:12
			it from
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			that person's sheikh or from their sheikh's sheikh,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			then when you narrate the hadith onward, you
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			won't mention who you learned it from.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			And if you learned it from your sheikh's
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			Sheikh, or if you heard it from your
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			sheikh's Sheikh, he won't even mention his Sheikh.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			You'll just cut to you'll just cut to
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			the the slowest,
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			the the sorry. The shortest,
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			path,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			to the source.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			And that's what happens. Otherwise, the tariqa, all
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			of the turukah are through the 4 holofar
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39
			Hasidun.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			The actual transference of the nisbah from one
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			person to another, it's actually through the khulafa
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			rashidun and it's through a number of other
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			people whose names are not mentioned here. It's
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			through a number of other people whose names
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			are not mentioned here. I'll go out on
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			a limb and say that every single one
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			of the turuk also is
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			transmitted through the 4,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			Imams, the 4 Madhabs
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			at the very least. And the number of
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			other prominent Ulemaan scholars and mashaikh and imams
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			of Ahlulbayt,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			and other oliya.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			But because of the need for ulu, the
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			need to shorten the chains of narration,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			those names are omitted.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			But just because they're omitted from mention, it
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			doesn't mean that they're not there. That the
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			nisbah and the secret and the sir that
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			Allah Ta'ala,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			powers this deen through,
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			that it didn't go through a longer and
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			more interesting route
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			than the one that's mentioned on paper.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			Sayid Nabu Bakr Sadiq radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			After the passing of the messenger of Allah
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, his vice jairncy in every
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:41
			respect
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			devolved to Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			By virtue of the oath of allegiance of
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			the Muhajarin and the Ansar, he was appointed
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:50
			Khalifa,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			while Quranic verses allude to say in Abu
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			Bakr's khilafa, the hadith of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			in regards to this are clear in their
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:00
			meaning.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			Allah and the believers refuse to accept anybody
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			but Abu Bakr is explicit on the issue
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			of Abu Bakr's succession.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			The most important consideration in this regard is
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			the total accord between the hearts of Rasoolullah
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and that of Abu
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			Bakr's siddhir.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			This has been clearly stated by Hafez ibn
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			Hajar in
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			his lamir,
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			volume 2, page 452.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			I don't know which print it is, however.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:31
			Numerous incidents bear testimony to the mutual accord
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			and unity between their hearts.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			For example, the anecdote of
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			Abu al Hakim's
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			invitation
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			which had already been explained a few pages
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			earlier.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			Also on the occasion of Hudaybiyyah,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			the answers which Abu Bakr Siddiq gave to
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			the questions of Sayyidina Umar were the same
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			as those,
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			given by Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, Although
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			he Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu Anhu was not
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:55
			aware thereof.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			Regarding the captives,
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			Badr, opinion of Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu An
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			who also conformed to the opinion of Rasool
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam I. E. That they
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			should be not executed.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			The descriptions of Sayid Abu Bakr Siddiq radiallahuan
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			who given by given by,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			even Dhuhunna
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			conform conforms to
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			the description of Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			given by Sayyidah Khadija radiAllahu ta'ala Anha.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			Again, this is something that
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			it's mentioned. It's mentioned in the hadith of
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			the prophet
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			that
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			when Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said Abu Bakr
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:31
			Siddiq
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:34
			were
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			coming
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			in the home stretch to Medina Manawara
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			during the hijra.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			The ansar couldn't tell who is who. And
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			it wasn't until,
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:50
			they saw the Muhajirun crowding around Rasoolullah Sallallahu
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			Alaihi Wasallam and they saw Sayyid Abu Bakr
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			Siddiq radiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			Anhu opening up
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			his shawl,
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			to shade
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam that
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			they knew now who is Abu Bakr and
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			who is,
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			And this is something nisba il kai,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			that's mentioned by the Sufis that sometimes when
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			nisba between two people
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			becomes very strong they start to look like
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			each other even though they may look physically
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			nothing like each other but there's some uncanny
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			resemblance between them even though their color might
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			be different, that they may be,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			their physical,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			disposition may be different,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			their hair may be different. So many things
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			may be different but there's some sort of
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			quintessential similarity,
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			that people start to notice between them to
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			the point where they they can't tell them
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			apart, in certain cases.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			In addition to these clear indications,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			of his succession, Sayna Abu Bakr Sadiq radiya
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			wa ta'ala and who his khilafat was established
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			by the popular bay'a and taking of the
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			oath of allegiance of the companions
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			with him after the passing of Nabi Akram
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			Akram meaning most honored Nabi.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			According to the most authoritative version, his name
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:12
			was Abdullah.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			During the time of Jahiliyyah, his name was
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			Abdul Kaaba.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			Some say his name was Atik.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:20
			However,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			the reliable version is that Atik was his
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			title. It was his lakab.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			And the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam changed his
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			name from Abdul Kaaba to Abdullah.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			His genealogical
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			tree is as follows.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			The lineage of Sayid Nabu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			anhu
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			meets,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			with that of the messenger of Allah Sallallahu
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			Alaihi Wasallam with the person of Muratub Nukab.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			The name of his father Abu Qohafa
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			was Uthman,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			who embraced Islam in the 8th year of
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			the nubuah of the messenger of Allah Sallallahu
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Alaihi Wasallam at the age of 90.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			Sayyid Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu Anhu was known
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			by a variety of titles.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			According to Sayyidha Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			while the house folk would call him Abdullah,
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			he was generally generally known by the title
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			of Atik.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			Some people say he was called Atik because
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			of his handsomeness.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			Others say on the account of his
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			eagerness for virtue, he was given the name
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			Atik. Another view is because
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			his lineage was,
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			free from the slightest blemish.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			According to the narration of the
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			reason,
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			for his title of Atik was the
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			announcement of his salvation from the * fire.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			Have a have a connection with them,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			with with one another more for,
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			sorry,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			in terms of the
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			root, the root letters of of of both
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			words.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			His famous title, however, is a Siddiq.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			There's a difference of opinion regarding the occasion,
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			in which he was rewarded or awarded this
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			title. So Siddiq is a
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			the person who is innervently in through and
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			through inside out
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:29
			true.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			True in every every
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			sense of the word. Is the true faith
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			the one,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			the one who
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			carries the emphatic state of veracity.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			According to some, he was known by this
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			blessed title even during the days of Jahiliyyah
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			because of his outstanding qualities of truthfulness.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			However, the well known version is that on
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			the occasion of the Mi'raj when the Rasool
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam ascended to heaven, the messenger
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was apprehensive about
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			people acknowledging the truth of this miraculous journey.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:07
			Jibril,
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			alaihi salam assured the messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			alaihi wa sallam that Abu Bakr will acknowledge
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			its truth because he is, the siddiq.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			In the
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			in a work. I don't know some of
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			these translations sometimes the transliterations
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			are so garble it's difficult to tell what
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			he what the,
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			what book is being quoted. But in one
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			of the books about the Khalafat
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:37
			recorded
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			the the narration of the mosthadrak of Imam
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:41
			Hakim
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:42
			in which,
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			Nizal bin Sabra said,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			we asked Ali radiAllahu anhu regarding Abu Bakr
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Siddiq radiAllahu anhu.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			He said he is a man,
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			who was given the title of Siddiq by
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			Allah via the agency of Sayyidina Jibril alayhislam
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			and the messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasalam.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			In salat, he was a representative of the
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi Meaning he was
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			the one that everybody knew that when the
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			messenger of Allah
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			was unable
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			to lead the prayer, he was the one
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			who was deputed for it.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			The man who the Rasulullah
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			alaihi wasallam would choose for our Deen,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			we chose him, for our duniya, meaning for
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			the khilafa.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			According to Tabarani, Hakim bin Saad narrated that
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			Sayna Ali radiAllahu an who took thee
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			took an oath that the title siddiq was
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			revealed,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			by Allah,
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:34
			from the heavens,
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			for Abu Bakr,
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			which itself is a great honor.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			Abu Bakr's acceptance of Islam.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			Amongst the first persons to accept Islam was
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah TA be pleased
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			with him. When he presented himself to the
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			Nabi Akram Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam for accepting Islam,
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			he did not request for any miracle to
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:55
			be displayed.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			He only asked about the prophet, so prophet
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's prophethood and immediately accepted
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:01
			Islam.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			According to the Nabi Akram sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			sallam, he had discerned a degree of uncertainty
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10
			in everyone who he had presented Islam to,
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			save Abu Bakr who accepted Islam without the
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			slightest of hesitation.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			In the inceptional stage of Islam, the Sahaba
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			Kiram radhiallahu ta'ala Anhum
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			concealed their deen because of the oppression and
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			the persecution of the kuffar.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			When the number of Muslims numbered 39,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			Abu Bakr Siddiq radhiyallahu anhu requested permission to
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			propagate Islam publicly.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			After persisting with his request, the most honored
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam consented.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			Taking a small group with him, said Abu
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			Bakr Siddiq radiallahu an who went to the
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			house of Allah, to the Kaaba, and delivered
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			a Khutba.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			This was the very first Khutba in Islam.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			Although his prominence
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			and honor were accepted in the community,
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			as he commenced his Khutba he was so
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			severely assaulted that his face was dyed red
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			with his blood.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			His nose, ears, etcetera were badly wounded.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			It was difficult to recognize him. He was
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			beaten, pushed and kicked.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			They did with him whatever they had desired.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			The severity of the assault rendered him unconscious.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			His tribesmen brought him home,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			where he,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			revived during the evening. He came back to
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			consciousness that evening.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			The first words that came from his lips
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			was how how is Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			On hearing these words, those who were caring
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			for him left. They were astonished and angered
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			because of his devotion for a man who
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			was indirectly the cause for the calamity which
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			he had suffered,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			his non Muslim relatives.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			His mother, Umkhair, insisted that he partake of
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			some food and drink, but he took an
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			oath that as long as he had not
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			seen the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			he would neither eat nor drink.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			After the greater part of the night had
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			passed and all was quiet,
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			he went to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			cried profusely,
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			and so did the Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			The Sahaba radiallahu anhu too broke down with
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			grief and were in tears.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			In this meeting Abu Bakr Siddiq radiallahu anhu
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			requested that Rasulullah
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			make dua for the guidance of his mother.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			The dua was made and she embraced Islam
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:25
			the very same day.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			So you see, Masha'allah,
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			people who,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			whatever, like to quote
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			like to quote Rumi quotes, you know, fake
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			Rumi quotes on on Facebook or whatever with
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			weird memes of
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			god knows what butterflies and unicorns or whatever
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			in the background.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			Even the real Rumi quotes that have full,
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			that that are have full authenticity
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			and are accompanied with their Persian original.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			Where did the mashaikh later learn how to
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			show love?
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			They didn't learn from anywhere else except for
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			the Rasul, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and his
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			Mubarak companions radiallahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			And so you know, masha'Allah Maulana Rumi himself
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			uh-uh was a descendant of Sayna Abu Bakr
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:17
			Siddiq.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			A separate volume is required
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			to record the life story of Said Abu
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			Bakr Siddiq, the Siddiq Akbar, the greatest of
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			the saints and the true faith ones. Irrespective
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			of the brevity of the biography one wishes
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:32
			to write,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			how then is it possible to write comprehensively
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			on even one aspect in these few pages?
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			The fact of him being the 1st to
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			accept Islam is of the greatest,
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			significance.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			This act of his requires considerable elaboration.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			Then there's the episode of his comp contemplated
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			migration to Abyssinia.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			He set out with this intention but was
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			met along the way by Ibn Durunah
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:57
			who
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			persuaded him to return.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			He said a man of your caliber can
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			neither be expelled nor leave of his own
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:04
			accord.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			You are the source of livelihood of the
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			destitute,
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			meaning you're the one who gives to the
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:10
			poor.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:11
			You are
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			kind to family members, you lift the burden
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			of people, you are hospitable and you aid
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			others in in their affairs
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			And, this is one thing, you know, we
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			mentioned it in one of the previous,
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			in one of the previous majalis
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			that,
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			this hawan
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			this
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			hawan, this lack of respect that
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			that those people who are currently deprived from,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:42
			connection
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			with the higher realm
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			Treat the and
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			the the people of nobility with.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			That they're
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			the types of people that
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			you know, they're only concerned with their own,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			like, rat race type of
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:58
			concerns.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			And so a person of great spiritual grace
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			might come past them
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			and they don't see any value in that
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			person. In fact, they often times when their
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			attention is brought to that
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			that reality they get annoyed.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			They're like a person who,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			you know, finds a
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			finds a, like a like a $100,000
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			Rolex,
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			somewhere and then takes it to the pawnshop
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			and the pawnshop,
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			you know, he says, okay, well we we
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			give you a $100 for it. The owner
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			of the pawnshop says, look let's go across
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			the street to the, you know, to the
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			Rolex shop and they'll appraise that it may
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			be worth even more. And
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44
			this person is so stingy and so
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			closed minded. He says stop wasting my time.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			Are you gonna give me the 100 or
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			not? Because if you're not, then like,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			you know, he tells them off. Why? Because
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			he doesn't understand the the value of what's
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			there. So if you're doing something good and
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			other people treat you like garbage,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			that's
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			not anything wrong with you. That's their own
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05
			deprivation that their supply of noor from the
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			higher realm has been cut off. Don't worry
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			about it. Go about your business.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			And know that everyone, people better than you
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			and people better than me, have been treated
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			this way before. The Sayyid Nabu Bakr Siddiq
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			his own tribesmen, they withdrew tribal protection to
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			the point where
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			he was one of the most noble and
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			beloved people of Quraysh
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:24
			and,
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			his tribe withdrew protection from him
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			to the point where he was basically,
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			being taken to pot shots at open season
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			in Makkumukarama
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			and he had to,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			you know, make the intention to leave. And
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			a foreigner, a person from another tribe
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			who knew Sayyid Nabu Bakr Siddiq
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			who himself was not even a Muslim at
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:45
			this time,
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:49
			he himself had to recognize that what's what
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:50
			is this craziness? Like, this is, like, the
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53
			best person I know. How could you, how
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			could you do something about him? And he
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			announced in front of the,
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			the people,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			in the Kaaba
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			that, I take him under my protection and
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:02
			whoever
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			messes with him, he messes with my tribe.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			And, it's a kind gesture. It's a kind
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:08
			gesture
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			for sure.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			However, the truth of the matter was
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			that, you know, from the moment that Allah
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:15
			decreed,
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			before he created the heavens and the earth
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			and his,
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			in his primordial
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			and his primordially preexistent knowledge
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			that,
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			that this this one would be the
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			the the companion and the beloved of the
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			had a protection greater than that of any
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			of the tribes of the Arabs.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:40
			And,
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			whoever sees it sees it. Whoever is blind
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			to it will be blind to it. A
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			day will come, Allah, that will show everybody.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			Until then, if a person
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			has something great, you don't need to show
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			off to the creation. Just go about your
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54
			business and don't let your feelings get hurt
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			when there are some blind people who are
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			unable to, appreciate that.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			Referring to sayin Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu on
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			whom the Quran says.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			He was the second of 2 Thani ath
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			Nani idhuma Filghaar.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			The second of 2 when they were in
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			the cave
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			when he said to his companions,
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			do not grieve. Indeed, Allah is with us.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			The companionship of Abu Bakr Siddiq radiallahu anhu
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			with the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			sallam is confirmed
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			absolutely by this ayah of the Quran.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			Every word of this Quranic statement attests to
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			the lofty status of Abu Bakr Siddiq radiallahu
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			anhu. There are numerous conspicuous
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			evidences
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			confirming his love and devotion for the Messenger
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			of Allah salallahu alayhi wasalam.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			His migration to Madinatayiba
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			and the company of the Messenger of Allah
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam is very significant.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			What then can one say and write about
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			his excellences?
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			In Suratul Layl are the praises of the
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			one who spend in the path of Allah
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			ta'ala.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			That he's described as being that nobody has
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			any Ni'mah or blessing
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			that will ever be sufficient
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			for him
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			uh-uh as a recompense
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			except for the
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			the seeking of Allah Ta'ala's pleasure.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:24
			And
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			the day that he gets it, he'll be
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			that's the day he'll be pleased.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			And he's given the glad tidings, and the
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			happiness and the glad tidings of Jannah.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			So InshaAllah
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:36
			being
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			being at about the half an hour mark,
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			I think this is a good place to
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			leave off inshaAllah for tomorrow.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us stulfiq to
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:47
			make good use of the rest of this
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			Friday and the rest of this Ramadan
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			and the rest of this life, the couple
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			of breaths that we have left. May Allah
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			forgive us our shortcomings and overlook our faults
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04
			and, even even those good deeds that
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			we were supposed to do beautifully that we
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			kind of did a,
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			slack job on.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			Allah, Ta'ala, forgive us and overlook those faults
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			and give us as if we did what
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			we were supposed to do the way we
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			were supposed to do it and not how
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			we did it.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala liked this all the
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			days of our life. May Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24
			Ta'ala show up
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:27
			whatever shortfall we have in our accounts by
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			the barakah of almarumaaman
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			haba, by the barakah of the statement of
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that a
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			person will be with the one that that
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			he loves.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			And Allah Ta'ala made it so easy because
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			the pious and the righteous and the oliya
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			and the Sahaba
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			Sahaba Ikiram
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			and the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and the
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			Anbiya Ikiram Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			Allah made it so easy because their people
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			it's so they were so beautiful.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			It's
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			very difficult not to love them. May Allah
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala dye our hearts in the
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:00
			color of their love and, make that, what
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			saves us in this world and hereafter.
