We've reached the 25th night of Ramadan.
Allah
make it a Mubarak night and make it
one that's accepted and right for us in
it that we are from those who
he has freed from the fire. Allah
forgive us our sins. Allah
cover our shortcomings, and make the rest of
what's left of our lives
better than what has passed.
With the rest of what's left of our
lives just like the rest of Ramadan,
that's in front of us. Allah make it
better than what has passed.
So today,
there are 2, short that I I wanted
to share
with, with with everybody.
The first one is the story of the
royal falcon.
So what is the royal falcon? The royal
falcon is, a specialized animal that was used
for hunting.
As we've gone further and further from nature
and depended more on artificial and mechanized,
things,
There's a lot that that that we've lost.
Allah
has created this entire world,
in order to be, subjugated for the use
of mankind and his stewardship. And,
Insan was truly a Khalifa
and truly is a Khalifa
when he, is it is
in harmony with his command
and,
observes things around him.
So in the old days,
people used to have hunting animals,
and they still do. They they had hunting
animals, dogs,
and falcons,
birds birds of prey that they would train,
to
go and find,
prey,
and the animals were so well trained that
they wouldn't eat from the prey.
And even in the sharia, there is there
is permission
to use, for example, hunting dog. As long
as the dog doesn't eat from the prey,
the animal that it's that's killed by it,
and retrieved and brought back to,
the hunter
is considered to be halal.
And at the time of releasing such an
animal on a prey,
a person says the Bismillah Allahu Akbar
and makes intention of of of taking the
life of that animal by the permission of
Allah Ta'ala and it's for for its lawful
use.
And, some of these animals are really amazing.
So
the falcon, imagine to train a bird is
not is not, an easy thing. But they
used to have birds in the old days
that would deliver messages, and they would come
back. Or they used to have falcons that
would,
that would, from
high in the sky,
survey the landscape and find the best of
prey and, kill it and bring it back
to or kill it and, then,
alert its master to its location.
It said that the Mongols actually used to
be able to, train,
eagles or vultures, large birds of prey,
to even be able to fly around on
the battlefield
if there was a particular individual that they
wish to take out,
that that that that that that large bird
could dive out of the sky,
with his talons and sink them into the
neck and the throat of an unsuspecting,
individual and kill it and then and then
be gone in the air and fly away
again,
before harm could be done to it.
There are a lot of animals. In fact,
the the desert Arabs use, use cheetahs
as well. They can train cheetahs to to
to kill, prey, and then and then bring
it back or to restrain it,
sink its claws and its teeth into its
neck to the point where the prey can't
move
and get back to, you know, get
restrain it essentially until the hunter can get
to it.
So these are all these are all things
that that that, you know, they captured people's
imagination. To this day, the desert Arabs actually,
they still, prize falcons.
So people who know how to train falcons
in order to hunt,
that trained falcon can fetch a high price.
And, the the the desert Arabs,
still Bedouins and tribal Arabs still will pay
quite a bit of money for for those,
as it's part of their cultural tradition.
So Milana uses the
the,
the the metaphor of the royal falcon,
which is that falcon which is trained to
hunt, has superb sight,
and, is very lethal in its work,
and is,
treated very well because he belongs to the
king.
And once a king's falcon flew far far
away from his palace and landed in the
house of an old woman of the neighborhood.
The old woman saw the falcon's long nails
and its big wings
and, started to cut them short and trim
them,
saying, with which unworthy person have you lived
all this time who kept you like an
orphan?
That, the big wings and the, the long
nails, the talons of the falcon, She considered
them to be a sign of the falcon
being unkempt.
Milana Rumi
said, so is the love of an ignorant
person. For a falcon, long nails, and huge
wings are necessary,
and are considered its virtues and required in
its pursuit of the prey.
These signs of perfection in the falcon were
looked upon as faults by the old woman
due to her ignorance,
of what constitutes perfection for a falcon.
By cutting the nails and clipping its wings,
she made the falcon useless.
The king, in the meantime, searched for the
falcon.
One day, while searching, he came to the
house of an old woman or of the
house of the old woman. Seeing the falcon
in the state, he wept,
out of,
out
of losing, what was his prized possession.
The falcon saw him and said,
oh king, I am very much ashamed of
myself.
I repent now and make a promise and
new commitment to you. Milana Rumi said, this
dunya is like that old woman. That whoever
inclines to it is just as disgraced and
foolish.
Whoever befriends 1, an ignorant one will meet
the same fate as the falcon met at
the hands of this old woman.
And, again, this is the the the beauty
and the perfection of the,
the
the the
the metaphors of Moana's hikayat,
that the king is
is Allah, and indeed one of his names
is Al Malik.
And the falcon is the Saliq who is,
who is taking the the spiritual path and
received some sort of maqam or station with
Allah
in his service.
And,
the old woman is like the dunya, and
we mentioned that before in, a previous majlis
that Imam Ghazali
he reported that Saidna Isa alaihislam,
he saw the dunya in the form of
an old woman.
And, he asked her,
what did you do with, everyone who ever
loved you? He saw her in the in
the form of an old woman who applied
a dishonorable,
trade,
to say the least. And he said, what
did you he asked her, what did you
do to everyone who ever loved you? And
she said, I I cut their throat. I
killed them.
And so, this is, almost like a a
a prophetic use of, imagery,
or at least borrowing from the prophetic use
of imagery. That the old woman, she saw
the falcon with all of its qualities
and said that, you know, and said that,
oh, you poor orphan. No one took care
of you. Because she was unable to appreciate
what what,
what what's really a quality in in a
human being. Because from the point of view,
the material world,
having a heart that's clean and in love
with Allah
is not,
considered to be a grace.
The world only values money and stuff.
So it says that, he who befriends an
ignorant one will meet the same fate as
the falcon met at the hands of the
ignorant old woman.
So the person who has Allah and knows
Allah and has deen, they have to understand
what the what the value of deen is
and what the value of theirs is with
Allah as being a person who says,
and this is not arrogance.
Arrogance is thinking that you're better than other
people. A person, you know, appreciating the gifts
that Allah gave them and,
thinking they're better than other people are 2
very different things. Arrogance is to say that
I'm good and other are bad. The gifts
Allah gave
you,
Allah
says,
and as for the the the bounties and
the treasures and the blessings Allah gave you,
declare them to people. Say, Allah gave me
this
Allah gave me that I can pray 5
times a day, that I can memorize some
part of the Quran, that I can fast
the month of Ramadan. He gave me this
deen, and
it's a great blessing. It's a great blessing.
And,
that's different than arrogance. And the difference is
what? Right? Rasulullah
he was asked,
he was asked by a Sahabi that,
what do you say about a man who
likes to wear nice clothes and likes to
have nice sandals?
Is that arrogance? And Rassoulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said,
Allah ta'ala is beautiful and he loves beauty.
Just having blessings and being blessed is not
a sign of arrogance.
He says,
He said that,
arrogance actual arrogance is to
to push away. If someone tells you the
truth, to push it away and throw it
in their face. You know, someone tells you
something, like, you know, corrects you in something
that you were doing that's wrong to just
to just throw it in that person's face
so you don't know what you're talking about
or pay attention to yourself or whatever.
That type of attitude is is is is
1,
one showing of arrogance to arrogance that will
bar a person from entering Jannah. And that
that shaitanic trait,
of arrogance as to what, when someone tells
you the truth, to like throw it in
their face and just reject it,
out of hand. And the second is what
is to look at other people and think
you're better than them. So
this indeed is a great blessing from Allah
However,
you and I, you know, it's from his
Allah's father. You and I did nothing to
earn it. We did nothing to deserve it.
If Allah
wished to, he could take it away from
us and give it to somebody else. So
we shouldn't walk around thinking that we're better
than other people because of who we are
in our own self. However, if Allah gives
somebody a a gift that that actually makes
them better than that gift is attributed to
Allah, it's not attributed to the self. And
indeed, Allah gives certain people gifts that make
them better than other people. On the day
of judgment,
you know, the people who have iman will
be manifestly better than the people of Kufr.
Allah make us from amongst the former and
protect us from ever being from thee amongst
the latter.
Allah himself, you know,
These are the prophets we preferred certain ones
of them over others.
That look how we favored some of you
over the others. And the hereafter,
you'll see even a greater disparity between the
ranks of our favor,
between the ranks that we give people and
even greater disparity
between how much we favored certain,
ones of the creation over others.
And so a person, it's part of their
deen to understand which person which thing is
a sign of Allah's blessing that gives a
person rank over the other. And if you
find those things inside of you, it is
in fact,
in gratitude to,
to to
ignore them or pretend that they don't exist.
And we we see people doing that, and
it's just like a type
of weird, like,
irrationality,
you know, where somebody is a Muslim and
another person's Muslim says, oh, you know, you
know, these people are Muslims, but other people
are better than them. Why? Because they know
how to stand in line or they have
really good,
you know, their their houses are very clean
or, you know, their corporations are run well
or blah blah blah, all of this other
stuff. The fact of the matter is anyone
who has is
better than anyone who doesn't. And one of
the reasons that we don't go go about
picking, you know, taking names and making
specific judgments is that nobody knows how they're
going to die. Nobody knows which cafe is
going to, repent and die an iman, and
nobody knows which believer is going to slip
and fall,
from from from the position of,
of Allah's love and and end up in
the fire, in the hereafter. We don't know
who truly professes iman and who's a. For
this reason, except for those people who
are those people who are, mentioned in the
book of Allah
specifically as being in Jannah or Jahannam, we
we we reserve,
we reserve judgment regarding people. But at the
same time, we do say in general, those
people who didn't make,
make a pact with Allah in this world,
of faith,
those people are, the worst of Allah's creation,
and those people are going to the hellfire
forever and ever. And those people who did
make a pact of faith with Allah to
Allah before leaving this world and they died
in that state,
with that pact valid,
those people are,
are people who Allah to Allah loves. And
even though we don't take names from either
group, it's manifestly clear why one is better
than the other. And so part of, part
of your, understanding of the deen and not
constantly shooting yourself in the foot and spiritually
and intellectually and living a life in which
you doubt things that are are are true
is to accept that fact that that Iman
is better than Kufr, that faith is better
than disbelief, that truth is better than falsehood,
that goodness is better than,
evil. You have to accept it, and accepting
that is not arrogance.
It's not arrogance. And if Allah gave you,
one of those good qualities,
then it would be arrogant to think that
you deserved it or you earned it because
that's how Shaitan used to think. But if
you understand that it's a a a purely,
the grace of Allah that he gave it
to you, and it's not because of you.
It's not an expression of how good you
are. Rather, the fact that he gave it
to you is an expression of how generous
and how merciful he is.
Then a person has understood this concept and
put everything in its in its right place.
He said, whoever befriends an ignorant one will
meet the same fate as the falcon had
met at the hands of the ignorant old
woman. Allah protect us from,
throwing,
the most, valuable of his bounties and treasures
in the garbage because of our, bad company
or bad effect that we take from this
material world and from its children.
Said,
in similar manner, some ignorant ones become claimants
to being servants of Islam.
Then in their ignorance,
they make Islam subject to their stupid opinions
thereby
distorting the true teachings of Islam. This is
generally true of those people who through their
own study later become authors of books and
articles on Islam without having studied Deen at
the feet of a scholarly,
teacher.
When looking at these writings of these authors,
a great precaution is required.
Here, there's a hadith in, the Sahih,
Sunan of Imam Tirmidhi that the messenger of
Allah
said, see from whom you take your, deen
and the correct part of,
the correct transmission of,
of of of
of information is part, part of the dean.
It says he said that, that look look
at, you know, like a person who is
person is going to be on the dean
of the one he,
spends time with. So let every person look
at who they take their dean from. In
other words, in regards to him from whom
you learn your dean, first inquire from well
known scholars about such a person's credibility.
The jug from which you drink water should
first be inspected
to see that the water inside is clean
and not contaminated.
And if this was a a good advice
in the time of Hazrat Tanvi,
you know, more than a century ago,
then, it's double good advice in the era
of
Facebook and Google and
Twitter and, you know, everybody's writing articles.
There are there
are deluded people writing articles. There are misguided
people writing articles. There are people who have
no connection with all of my writing articles.
There are people who have some connection with
all of my, but they can't read a
lick of Arabic,
and understand it. It's one thing somebody knows
how to read the Quran with, you know,
even with Tajweed, you don't need to really
know Arabic in order to do that. There
are people who don't know a lick of
classical Arabic, and, you know, they've set up
big blogs and, you know, they have a
big profile pictures of them stand themselves standing
behind a podium.
And, you know, for inquiries,
you know, please email info at my nuffs.com
or dot org or whatever.edu.
And, it's just it's it's just become ridiculous.
And,
you know, what did Milana Rumi say is
that he who befriends an ignorant one will
meet the same fate as the falcon had
met at the hands of this ignorant old
woman.
That, you know, such people and some of
them even even they understand what I'm saying
right now, and they say, oh, we're just
writing to defend the din or defend the
ulama.
Even those people will will, will destroy you
and send you off the path.
How how lucky and how fortunate is one
to know the value of just keeping their
mouth shut?
How fortunate is a person just to know
the value of just staying quiet
when something is, beyond above their league. It's
not like, you know, if you don't make
a comment on some tweet tweet or something
like that, it's not like Islam is going
to fall apart.
The intellectual
and the civilizational
edifice of this deen is much more than
social media, and we think that these social
media wars that people get into are such
a big deal. They really are meaningless.
Islam is Mahfool
in the hearts of Allah's oliya. It's protected
in the hearts of every farmer and every
worker and every villager
who prays his 5 times daily prayer. It's
Mahfool in the in the hearts of the
businessmen
of the metropoli of Dar al Islam who
hear the adhan 5 times a day and,
finance and fund the the running of the
masajid when our governments have shut them down.
It's Mahul that's protected inside of the hearts
of every
person who loves
and who, loves Allah and his rasool
And most of those people, you know, they're
not they're not subject to what's going on
in Facebook or Twitter. In fact, probably the
the Facebook and Twitter, social media, blogosphere, etcetera
is, has overrepresentation
just of, Muslims who live,
who live as minorities
in in, non Muslim countries and have had
a very superficial or tangential
brush with Islam that involves reading articles and
watching online videos rather than actually having years
long suhba with the mashaikh.
So, you know, blessed is the person who
knows just how to stay quiet.
A person is going to regret their speech
far more frequently than they're going to
regret their silence.
And so
the second hikaya I wanted to share is
the story of the falcon and the owls.
So it's interesting the the metaphor of the
owl in,
the metaphor of the owl in, in the
west is the wise owl, the wise old
owl. Whereas in the east, the owl is
not really looked upon very favorably.
Anyone who,
knows the Urdu language,
or really any Indic language knows that the
the owl,
in Urdu is called Ulu,
and it's actually a cognate. They're both exactly
they're actually the same word.
And, they know that calling someone an is
like it's like calling a person an idiot.
And, the the old,
I guess, the old
understanding about owls was that wherever owls are,
it's a sign of destruction and desolation
because they are not, you know, they're they're
hunters that hunt by night, and they're opportunistic
hunters. They don't have the same noble qualities
as the falcon or the eagle
that, hunt a living prey and can take
on formidable prey and kill with with with,
lethality and accuracy.
Rather, the owl is kind of a a
daft,
scavenger,
of an animal. And,
you know, the the places that the owl
stay are usually places of death and desolation
because they're opportunistic hunters,
and and and they the other quality they
have is they make a loud and irritating
noise that, at least in the east was
not considered to be a very endearing quality.
So once a king's falcon flew away from
his palace and landed in some ruins, meaning
a old uninhabited
city, where many owls were staying.
As soon as they saw him arrive in
their midst, the owls raised a loud voice
of protest and objection against his arrival saying,
this falcon wants to take over the ruins
for himself.
The falcon hearing this accusation was bewildered and
perplexed and said to them, I shall not
tarry here amongst you, but shall return to
the king.
You may keep your ruins to yourself. My
place is with the king and near the
crown.
So, again, remember who the falcon is and
who the king is. And the owls are
are who. They're just Hasidim. They're just haters.
They're just the the children of the dunya,
and they're haters, and they're just jealous,
and they think that because,
all they're,
looking for is dead carcasses
and,
desolated places, that the royal falcon, also like
them, is only preoccupied with those same dead
carcasses and that same desolation.
So the the the falcon hearing their accusation,
was bewildered and perplexed and said to them,
I shall not tarry here amongst you, but
shall return to the king. You may keep
your ruins to yourself. My place is with
the king and near the crown.
And this is exactly what the reply to
the
to the
of the prophets was. So
that I don't ask you, you know, that
this
this message I'm sending to you, it's not
in lieu of any money or monetary payment
or insistence on being king or taking anything
from this world. He said, I don't ask
you any,
or any any any,
fee or service from it.
Fee or or or cost for service,
through this. Rather, my my,
payment for my service is on the account
of Allah Ta'ala. He's the one who's going
to reward for me.
Allah Ta'anabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was also
commanded, right, that I don't or to say
that I don't ask for any
that you should just have some kindness and
love for my family. That's all.
Meaning what? The prophets aren't asking for anything.
They don't want the dunya in the first
place. You know, someone might say that, you
know, the like, look at the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam himself, his his, example that
not only did he not used to,
take any special, money from the, from the
treasury. His pay pay was what?
For being for being the leader,
of the Muslims
religiously and temporally.
What was his pay? He said
that my my provision was put in the
shade of my spear. Meaning what? Meaning, he
he used to go out in jihad
and when they're victorious,
he used to receive a share of
he used to receive a share, as a
soldier, a foot soldier. He would receive a
share of,
of the spoils of war like everybody else
did.
He, sallallahu
alaihi wasallam,
even zakat himself, zakat and sadaqa, he never
ate from. And zakat, he made haram on
his family
so no one could say that he took
one for the team and then his family
thereafter was set for, you know, until until
Yom Kiyama.
None of these things. The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam didn't care for any of these
things. And, a person might say, oh, well,
look at, you know, there were certain certain
prophets who were kings. Right? Say in the
Dawud Alaihi Salam was a king,
and Sayin Soleiman Alaihi was a king,
and Sayna Soleiman alayhis was a king. Sayna
Yusuf alayhis salam had a high position. He
was a wealthy
wealthy man. All of those people
had their positions not through their nabua.
Sayidna Dawud alayhis salam, he took his he
he received his nabua after,
after being becoming the the leader of Banu
Israel. Say the Soleiman was the the the
the the crown prince and then successor of
Sayed Nadawd alaihi salam.
His
had nothing to do with him receiving kingship.
Their kingship was something they had from before,
and their
in fact,
caused them even more,
caused them even more difficulty and hardship. It
would have been easier for them to enjoy
the the honor of being a king without
without having, that.
And a vast majority of the Ambiya alaihimusa
to Islam,
there are a couple of handfuls of of,
of examples of who enjoyed temporal power and
wealth.
The vast majority of them definitely,
didn't take that path,
including Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
And so but the Abin Abdu dunya, when
you try to bring them to something that's
better for them in this in this world
and the hereafter,
because they don't care about the a lot
and they don't care about the next world
and they don't care about lofty ideals. They
don't care about justice. They don't care about
they don't care about any of those other
types of things.
Because of that, they
accuse other people of having their minds in
the gutter as well that, like, you know,
just like they're working looking for a carcass.
They accuse the falcon also of looking for
a carcass, where the falcon doesn't need to
look for a carcass. A falcon can kill,
most beasts where they stand, even the formidable
ones.
The the the falcon only works in the
service of the king. So the the falcon
understands his place is with the king and
near the crown. He says you could you
may keep your ruins to yourself. My place
is with the king and near the crown.
The owls replied,
this falcon is busy with a deceitful plan.
He wants to oust us from these ruins
and claim it claim them for himself.
He wants to take possession of our homes,
and with his flattering and clever plans, intends
to destroy our nests. The falcon got the
impression that the owls were going to attack
attack him and warn them thus. If through
your mischief, one of my wings should break,
the king,
to whom I am a cherished one will
attack and destroy your whole neighborhood.
That king's bounty and kindness protects me wherever
I go. His protective glance is over me.
I am in the thoughts of the king
at all times. And without me and his
thoughts, his art heart becomes ill. I am
a royal falcon, and for that all envy
me. How can stupid owls understand my position?
And again, the idea is what? That a
person who's a salik on the path to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, don't undersell yourself.
Again, the people of the dunya, if they
have something important in the dunya, they won't
they won't mind telling you, no. You know,
I don't have time for you. You know,
I I have a exam tomorrow. I have
I have I have to take my car
to be fixed. I have this. I have
that. I can't give you any time. However,
the the the people of Deen,
their entire Ramadan, they're,
wasting their time to recite. They're wasting their
time to read in order to make other
people happy. They're wasting their in order to
make people happy. They're, you know, putting their
children in the,
company of other children that will,
destroy their character and akhlaq in order to
make people happy. They're,
eating haram things because they're afraid of offending
those people, the owls. The falcon is eating
the haram because he's, afraid of offending the
the owl. Look.
People understand you gotta do what you gotta
do. If this deen is important to you
and these
these blessings from Allah means something to you,
then you don't have to be rude about
it to people. You don't have to be
a jerk about it. You can be polite,
but be firm in protecting,
protecting your station that you have with Allah
with the king and with the crown.
And know that Allah loves you because of
your love of him,
not because you're there to become like a
a a a a syrupy slop in front
of every person who doesn't care about your
welfare in this world or in the
hereafter.
And this is something I think a lot
of people from back home,
from India and Pakistan
and to a very high degree and perhaps
a lesser degree other parts of,
other parts of traditional cultures, we all oftentimes
live,
you know, in order to, fulfill other people's
expectations.
And this is one nice thing about American
culture is that people, they live to fulfill
their own expectations from themselves. We should learn
that because the sahaba
were like that.
Their Maqam with Allah Ta'ala, they wouldn't waste
it for anybody in the world.
And,
you know, this is something I think that's
good about this culture. We should accept it.
Many people think it's, selfish and self centered.
It's only selfish and self centered if you
are a selfish and self centered person. If
your goal is to make Allah
happy, then it's in fact a a very
good property, the quality to have, not to
be overly concerned with what other people are
gonna think or say when you,
do those things and and say those things
and act in a way that makes Allah
happy. What that is, you have to learn
it from the uleman, from the mashaikh. You
can't just make it up as you go
along and then tell everybody I'm a real
falcon. But
at the same time, once you know what
those things are, then, you know, don't be
don't be, don't be like,
don't be like,
a person who, you know, gets their wings
and their,
their their their, talents clipped,
by the old woman. Or worse yet, you
know, throws away the the their their falcon
like qualities,
in front of the jeering of the owls.
Be like this royal falcon who who knows
what his value is and who knows who
Allah is that protects them. If through your
mischief one of my wings should break, that
king to whom I am a cherished one
will attack and destroy your whole neighborhood.
That king's bounty and kindness protects me. I
am in the thoughts of the king at
all times. And without me and his thoughts,
his heart becomes ill. I am a royal
falcon and for that all envy me. How
can stupid owls understand my position?
Mullana Hakim Akhtar comments,
there are times when the aliyah, of Allah,
who are like the royal falcons and the
beloved of Allah, are looked at by stupid
and worldly ones in the same manners that
the owls looked at the falcon,
through wrong reasoning and analogy.
Similarly, we find those who trouble them as
a result of their wrong reasoning and conceptions,
we find that there are some that will
trouble them as a result of their wrong
reasoning and conceptions. Conceptions. Allah, however, protects them.
They are never for one moment out of
the sight of the master no matter where
they go. As Allah says to the Rasool,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, in naka bi a'yunina,
that verily you are within our sight. In
other words,
Allah is saying,
oh, Muhammad
these non believers cannot destroy you for you
are at all times in our sight and
under our protection. And this is the the
the reason that the,
the Hadith Qudsi is there in Sahih Bukhari,
in which
Rasoolullah tells us that Allah said,
that Allah said who whoever,
makes an enemy, whichever owl makes an enemy
of my falcon, whichever
person makes an enemy of a wali of
mine, I declare war on such a person
because that person is like the royal falcon,
one of the most prized possessions of the
king. And, if the owls come anywhere near
it, he'll raise their entire neighborhood,
and it's happened before.
And,
eventually, this is what will happen to this
dunya as well.
That this entire dunya will end because the
remembrance of Allah will leave it. That will
be the reason for its end because the
reason for its creation has gone away. Eventually,
on the day of judgement, entire nations will
be burned in the garbage heap of the
hellfire.
And
even if only 1 or 2 people believed
in those nations, those are the ones that
will have eternal and everlasting life with Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and will bear honor on
behalf of everybody.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has blessed us that
we're from the Ummah of Sayid Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
Such an Ummah that people in multitudes and
great numbers will enter into Jannah through it.
And then after that, even greater multitudes will
enter to Jannah through its intercession.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us of the
first and from the second and and and
protect us from ever being, from anyone other
than them.
