00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			Your fasting and your prayers and your recitation
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			of the Quran
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			and your zikr of the divine name in
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			and the other Masnun Azkar
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			and your sadaqat and all of your good
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			deeds with Barakah in this small Barak month.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			Please,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			don't be from the people who
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			slacks off and waste time
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			on Twitter and television
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			and Facebook and,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			you know, reading the news and all of
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			these other things,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			that only to be the one who says
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			at the end of the month, oh, look
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			how fast Ramadan passed by. If a person
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			is cognizant of their every breath,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			which is one of the barakat of
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			praying punctually and making vicar
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			regularly.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			If a person is
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			is aware of the passing of every breath
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			and trying to use it,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			in order to better themselves, then they will
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			find so much Barakah in this month that
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			it will feel like it never ends.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			Every day will feel like it it never
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			ends.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			They will have more mindfulness
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			in
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			the time,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			from prayer to prayer than other people may
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			have an entire
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			week or a month or some people even
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			in their entire lives.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			So,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			while it's good to listen to,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			even these recordings and things like that as
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			a,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			a rest and a respite from,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			the rigors of prayer and,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			the difficulties of fasting
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			and,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			the rigor of
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			reciting the Quran constantly and making dhikr constantly.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			Let let, you know, let all of us
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			make Amal on,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			and practice on.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			That when you're, when you're
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			free
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			from the prayer or from from your
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			difficulties and the the work that you're putting
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			Mujahaha, their struggles,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			then find respite in the prayer
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			and,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			unto your Lord,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			let your desire and your
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			goal
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			be. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala give all of
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			us so much Tawfiq.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			So we continue
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			with
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			the recounting of the Mubarak life of the
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam or some small part
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			of it.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			After having
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			talked about the immigration of the Sahaba radiAllahu
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			ta'ala and whom to Abyssinia.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			Afterward, Hazrat Sheikr radiAllahu ta'ala continues,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			While the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu were allowed to
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			migrate,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			the
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam remained behind
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			in Maqam Karama,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			undergoing the severest of trials and persecution for
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			a full 6 years, after the first of
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			the Sahaba left to Abyssinia.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			On the first of Muharram and the 7th
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			year of of of prophethood,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			the Kuffar of Mecca schemed a new plan
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			of persecution.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			The messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam along
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			with his entire family.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			And here what's meant by the entire family
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			is not the immediate family of the Messenger
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, rather all of
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			Banu Hashim. The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			Wasallam is Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the son
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			of Abdullah,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			the son of
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			Abdul Muttalib,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			the son of Hashim.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			So Hashem,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			all of the descendants of Hashem,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			were were put under a new plan of
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			persecution.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			his entire clan were imprisoned in a valley.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			The Sheib of Abi Talib,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			and a total boycott was put into effect.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			They were not allowed to emerge from the
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			valley, neither were they permitted to procure any
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			food from outside,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			nor was anyone permitted to enter the valley
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			with any provisions.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			After a short while,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:08
			while,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			after a short while, when their little food
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			and rations were depleted,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			a period of starvation followed one after the
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			other.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			Women and children were in dire straits as
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			a result of the starvation. And this happens
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			in crisis zones everywhere, that those who are
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			physically most vulnerable,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			women, children, the sick, the elderly,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			especially women who are pregnant,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			Those people who,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			who are in the most precarious of situations
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			with regards to the their health, they're the
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			ones who suffer the most, and they're the
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			ones who succumb to
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:40
			starvation,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			first. And it's it's interesting actually
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			just to add
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			a note that it's interesting.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			When this happened,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			there was 2 shows.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			One was a supreme show of Wafaa, of
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			loyalty,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			which is a trait that seems to be
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			gone from,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			a great number of people nowadays. And people
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			used to have the human trait of loyalty.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			Now people have the corporate trait of, of
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			of a fiduciary responsibility to look after themselves.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			They've kind of
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:13
			donned,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			the selfishness
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			in
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			the garb of some sort of pseudo,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			some sort of pseudo,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			virtue of the fiduciary
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			responsibility of every person to look after themselves.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			And indeed, a person does have the duty
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			to look after themselves,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			in the sense that they shouldn't make themselves
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			in need of others, but it doesn't give
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			them the right
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			or the privilege or the the, you know,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			to look positively on selling out other people.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			And, sometimes,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			responsibility, the responsibility of being a human being
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			and of having honor and having wafaa, loyalty,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			which is
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			a cardinal virtue in Jahiliya, which was upheld
		
00:05:59 --> 00:05:59
			by Islam.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			Sometimes,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			that, you know, a person gets,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			you know, gets their their hand called in
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			terms of their humanity to see how much
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			humanity they have. And so
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			there was a member of the Banu Hashim,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			Abu Lahab,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			who is the paternal uncle of the Messenger
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			Had he
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			had he chosen to stand by the Prophet
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he would have been revered
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			as a member of the Ahlul Bayt, but
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			he chose to sell out.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			He chose to sell out. And so when
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			this, boycott pact
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			of Banu Hashim was made, of the Prophet,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, was made Banu Hashim
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			to a man, they all stood,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			in defense of
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			of their kinsmen,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			even though many of them were not Muslims
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			yet. And they paid the consequence for that.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			They said he's a good man, and, he
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			doesn't lie, he doesn't cheat, he helps the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			poor, he helps the widow, he helps the
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:56
			orphan,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			and he's a man of
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			of chivalric virtue.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			And we will not sell him out, to
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			you just because you don't like the fact
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			that he's commanding to virtue.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			And so even the the mushrikeen from Banu
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			Hashim at that time that had not accepted
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			Islam,
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			to a man they stood with the messenger
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			of Allah, except for this, Abu Lahab,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			except for this, unclean, inwardly and outwardly
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			individual, this Chabeeth individual
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			who,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			you know, like we mentioned before, there's literally
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			a surah lampooning him in the Quran, and
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			he deserves it.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			And so he sold out, he sold out
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			his nephew and his kinsmen,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:34
			against,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			any, virtue of Islam and against even any,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			tribal Arab tribal virtue,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			or chivalric virtue of of of the tribal
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			Arabs, even of Jahiliya.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			He was just a straight sellout. And so
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			he went in front of, all of the
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			rest of the mushrikeen of Quraysh, and he
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			said that I have nothing to do with
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			him. He has nothing to do with me.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			And, that's actually become a legal ruling now
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			that Abu Lahab is not considered legally in
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			the Sharia, the sacred law of Islam,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			to be from Banu Hashim.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			He is not the family of the prophet
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his descendants,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			if any of them are are still alive,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			which is a great possibility. And I don't
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			think anyone's gonna go around and say, hey,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			look, I'm, you know, Allahabi, I'm descended from
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			Abu Lahab. So those people, even if they
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			are alive and around and they accepted
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			Islam,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			you know, they're
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			probably unknown, but none of them can claim,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			claim the kinsmanship of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			Wasallam. And then look on the other side
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			that
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			Hashim,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			the great grandfather of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			Wasallam,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			his brother,
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42
			Al Muttalib,
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			who is the one who brought Abdul Muttalib
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			to Makkamukarama.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:48
			Al Muttalib,
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			he he
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			went to Madinah Munawwara to get his
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			nephew, Sheba,
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			who was the son of his brother
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			and a boy of much virtue and and
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			talent and potential.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:05
			And he,
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			brought him from where his mother lived in
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			Yathrib, which was the old, pre Hijra name
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			of Madinah Munawara,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			and brought him to, Makkumu Karamal to take
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			his rightful place as a chieftain of Quresh.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			And so
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			when, the people saw Al Mu'taleib bringing this,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			young man, handsome young man into Makkumukarama, they
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			wondered who is he? And so people thought,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			oh, this Al Mu'tallib must have purchased a
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			slave,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			and he must be bringing his new slave
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			into Maqamukarama. So the nickname Abdul Mu'tallib stuck
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			with the grandfather of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			Wasallam. But look at Masha'Allah how
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			how,
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			Hashim's brother Al Muttalib had
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			he had love for his brother and,
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			love for his nephew. And he brought him
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			and literally set him up that he could
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			become the chieftain of Quresh and the people
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			of Quresh honored and revered revered Abdul Muttalib.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			And so when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			was boycotted by the mushrikeen of Quresh, the
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			clan of, of Muttalib,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			which is a brother clan to Hashim.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			Just as Hashim was a brother to Al
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			Muttalib, the clan of Al Muttalib said whatever
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			whatever you do whatever you do to our
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:17
			brothers,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			you do to us as well.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			And they, they were because of standing firm
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			with
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			Messenger of Allah again, many of them were
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			still mushrikeen, but just out of their sense
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			of humanity
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			for standing with their kinsmen because it was
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			unfair and unjust what was being done with
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			them, they were also subjected to this boycott,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			which had horrible,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:38
			effects.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39
			And,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			Allah knows
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			best, and Allah knows best, and he's the
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			one who gives reward to the one who,
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			shows honor to his Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			But from one of the many honors that
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			Banu Muttalib has is that Imam al Shafi'i
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			is from amongst their ranks.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			And,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			if there's any lineage that is next and
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			kin to the lineage of Banu Hashim and
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			has the right to claim some sort of,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			affinity to the Ahlulbayt of the prophet
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:07
			Indeed, it's,
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			that of Banu Mutaleb.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			It's an opinion reported
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			from Imam al Shafi'i that also they they
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			don't take and consume the money of zakat.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			And, with regards to the Shafi'i fiqh, inshallah,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			you can ask a Shafi'i fiqh about the
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			details, but that that is something that that,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			we we read about
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			in different books of, and again, the details
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			you can get from them.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			The pledge which the Kufar had made with
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			regards to the imprisonment and embargo
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			was not a verbal one, nor was it
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			the plan of just a few. In fact,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			all the chiefs of Mecca had signed the
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			document imposing the embargo and imprisonment.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			The scribe of this document was 1 Mansur
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			ibnu Ekrima al Abdari,
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			The punishment of all that Allah most high
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			inflicted on him was that after he,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			after he wrote out that document, both of
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			his hands were paralyzed,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			for the rest of his life.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			And again,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			you know, people
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			if you stand with the Haqq, a time
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			will come when a great number of people,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			authority figures,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			and, people, that are looked up to. You
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			may see that they behave badly, Allah will
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			expose the the the the uncleanness which is
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			inside of their hearts and inside of their
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			ba'atin.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			After 3 years
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			of patient suffering and endurance in the prison
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			of the valley, Allah, most high, by his
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			limitless mercy, inspired some people of Quraysh to
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			violate the pledge. Some persons amongst the Kufar
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			and Mushrikeen developed a pity for the Muslims.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			While discussion on the issue had become topical,
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			Allah most high revealed to the messenger of
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that the document
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			of excommunication
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			had disintegrated
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:45
			and that
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			only a piece of the paper, that piece
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			on which, Allah's name was written had remained
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:51
			intact.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			On this occasion, Abu Talib notified the chiefs
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			of the Quraysh that Mohammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			had informed him of the disintegration of the
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			document. He added that if it was true,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			then they should refrain from this action and
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			lift the embargo.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			The Arabs were people who used to take
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			omens from and signs from things, so something
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			like that would have affected them,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			quite quite deeply.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			When it was discovered that the document had
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			truly disintegrated, those who were initially opposed opposed
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			to the boycott were further emboldened to violate
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			the pledge. Thus, the Messenger of Allah salallahu
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			alayhi wasalam and his family gained their freedom
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			from the prison of the valley.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			However, two grave events soon took place. His
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			uncle Abu Talib died. His presence had restrained
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			the kuffar of Makkah on many an occasion,
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			and also his beloved and devoted wife, Seyda
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			Khadija Umul Mumineen
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			had passed away.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			This year, in which these events transpired was
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			known amongst the Muslims as Amul Khuzn, the
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			year of sorrow.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			This material support in the worldly form was
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			thus also taken away. However, in spite of
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			the multitude of difficulties,
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			hardships, and sorrows,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			nothing could detract the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			from his devotion to Allah most high and
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			the propagation of this deen. Although the Kufar
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			of Mecca perpetually mocked him and hurled at
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			him a variety of epithets
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			such as sorcerer, magician, fortune teller, and madman,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			the messenger of Allah
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			constantly supplicated for their guidance to become for
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			them to become Muslim and for their betterment.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			This was his prime concern. When he finally
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			despaired as a result of their intransigence,
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			he commenced his,
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:30
			his
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			calling to the dean,
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			for those who lived in the area surrounding
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			Makkamukarama.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			He approached every tribe with the message of
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			the oneness of Allah. However, they all rebuffed
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			and mocked him. In Ta'if,
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			when he attempted to carry out his mission,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			the chiefs had not only mocked him and
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			jeered him. Ta'if is a
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			a city that's up at some,
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			elevation.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			It's very near Makkumukarama,
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			and it has very pleasant weather,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			compared to the rest of the Arabian Peninsula
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			during the, summertime.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			And the people who lived and thought if
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			Banu Thaqif,
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			they considered themselves to be peers and equals
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			to,
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:11
			the Quresh.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			And many of the noblemen of Quresh actually
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			used to, vacation in Taif as well. So
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			there was some,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			back and forth between them, and there was
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			some some connection between them even in the
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			days of Jahiliya.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			In Ta'if, when he attempted to carry out
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			his mission, the chiefs not only mocked him
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			and jeered him, but organized street urchins and
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			other vagabonds to stone him.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			Imagine that the Rasul, salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			they they unleashed people to throw stones at
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			him even though he only brought them the
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			message of La ilaha illallah.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			In consequence
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			of the shower of stones which rained on
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			him, his shoes were dyed red with his
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:51
			blood,
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			Returning from Ta'i, he sat on one place
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			grief stricken
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			and made the following dua.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			Oh, Allah, with You alone do I register
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			the complaint of my weakness
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			and my forloneness
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			and my disgrace amongst people.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			O Allah who is most merciful,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			you are the Lord of the weak and
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			you are my Lord.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			Toward whom have you assigned me?
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			Have you handed me to an alien who
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			detests me or to some enemy in whose
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			control you have placed me?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			Oh, Allah, as long as you are not
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			displeased with me, then I care for not
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			care not.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			Your protection suffices me. I seek refuge with
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			the Nur of your face,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			which brightens all darkness and on which all
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			affairs of this world and the hereafter are
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:48
			rectified.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			And from your wrath settling on me, or
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			from your anger descending on me, remove your
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			anger from me that you become pleased.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			There is no strength nor power but with
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			you.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			Allah ta'ala bestows his favour according to the
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			degree of the struggle.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			The fruits of success are
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			in proportion to the sacrifices offered in the
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			path of Allah
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			The episode of Ta'if was indeed a great
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			struggle and sacrifice.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			The fruit of this noble sacrifice was the
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			highest proximity to Allah Most High in the
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			form of the Mi'raj,
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			the Ascension, which happened on the heels of
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			the Isra, the night journey.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			No one ever attained such a divine proximity.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			The greatest and most wonderful gift bestowed upon
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			the Ummah on the occasion of the Mi'raj
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			is the 5 daily prayers which were ordained
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			as obligatory.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:43
			Salat is a medium for communing with Allah
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			Most High. At the same time, it is
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			the most important act of worship.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			Alas, the plight of those who turn their
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			faces away from divine proximity by refraining from
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			the prayers is most lamentable.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			And the pursuit of a few coins, and
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			for the proximity of the powerful,
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			just for a few moments, they sacrificed their
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			lives and even their deen.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			In spite of the great
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			significance for the Muslims, the episode of Mi'raj
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			has become a
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			target of mockery from the kuffar. It provided
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			them with additional excuse for jeering and reviling
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:14
			the Muslims.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:22
			The,
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			Mi'raj the Israan and Mi'raj of the prophet
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			sallallahu alaihi wasalam was
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			an event that Azar Sheikh mentioned we mentioned
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			earlier in in one of the previous darshas
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:33
			that,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			it was an occasion on which the, angels
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			took the heart of
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			prophet from his chest and washed it in
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:41
			the
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			the
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			the the water of Zamzam
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			and
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			charged it with the,
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			light and the,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			Nur of Iman,
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			in order for him to be able to
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			receive even more,
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			in terms of the divine,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			blessing and the, providential
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			favor from Allah
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			during his his Mi'raj.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			And, the prayer literally is, you know, for
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			people who want to look at Islam as
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			the law, you know, you can look at
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			the prayer through the lens of fiqh. And
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			that's definitely one aspect of it, and it's
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			important aspect of it an important aspect of
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			it. But even the fuqaha they talk about,
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			they talk about with an act that there
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			are different there are different
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			things that you look look through different lenses
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			in order to understand.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			One is, is the act,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			the responsibility
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			for it, is it fulfilled, the Bara'at Avima.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			And another,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			separate issue is, is it going to receive
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			reward?
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			So a person may pray the reward in
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			a play way that's legally valid. So the
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			Adi or the judge or the Mufti is
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			not gonna say you are legally obliged to
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			repeat it, but it may be devoid of
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			it may be devoid of any sort of
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			reward.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			And another issue, a separate issue is whether
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			it's accepted or not. And so if you
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			want to look at the prayer from the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			angle of the law, there are a number
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			of issues that come up, and they're important
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			issues.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			But to look at the prayer from the
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:06
			angle of,
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			its Sufic virtue,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			then know that whoever has a thikr that
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			they do, or whoever has a wird that
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			they do,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:14
			a daily,
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			a collection of Hizb or a a wird,
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			a collection of adhqar that they do, by
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			which they feel like they're, Masha'Allah, some sort
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			of 2 point o Muslim or better than
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			anyone else. Know that the greatest of the
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			urad is,
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			the 5 daily prayers. Nothing comes even close
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			to it. The greatest recitation of the Quran
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			is the recitation that a person does inside
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			of the prayer and the greatest of the
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			adkar of Allah ta'ala or the that a
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			person does inside of the prayer. The maqam
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			of the Sahaba radiAllahu on whom all of
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			it was bestowed to them by,
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			by and through this salat,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			which is Allah Ta'ala opening the door of
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			his divine to
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:54
			us,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			every day
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			so many times, and it's a great blessing.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			And, it's it's something that is
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			a large portion and the greater portion of
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			this Ummah had, without which it would not
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			have made it. The prophet
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			would not have been able to surmount the
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			challenges that were in front of, in front
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			of him that are described in this reading.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			And the Sahaba radiAllahu Anhu would not have
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			had the power and the help from Allah
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			Ta'ala that they needed
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			to trample the unjust and tyrannical
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			empires of the ancient world underneath their feet
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			and liberate the people to,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			from from the slavery of the creation to
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			the the the slave hood of the creator,
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			and to liberate people from the, darkness of
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			Jahiliyyah.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			And without it, we also
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			we cannot make it. We don't have anything
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			without this salat.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			It's sufficient if a person knows how to
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			pray their 5 daily prayers,
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			for them to rectify the
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			the the
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			affairs of this world and the hereafter. And
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			many people, you know, they see it as
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			like, oh, it's just empty ritual. It's just
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			empty ritual. I don't even understand Arabic. You
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			know? If you're the slave of Allah to
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			Allah, does the slave is the slave paid
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			to think or is he paid to obey?
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			The slave the slave is
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			his only function is when the master calls
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			the person's the slave says.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			And in that sense, if a person doesn't
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			understand Arabic,
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			and they say the prayer,
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			this is
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			in itself a a beautiful station of slavehood.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			And I might even say that it's more
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:29
			perfect,
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			manifestation of the slavehood of a person in
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			front of the Lord, except for Allah is
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			the one who commanded us to seek knowledge.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			And so because of that,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			because of that, there are maqamat that are
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			higher than than not understanding the prayer. But
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			even if a person doesn't understand it, there's
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:45
			a beauty,
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:46
			therein.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			And doesn't it, doesn't it,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			suffice you to know that this salat is
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			literally an imitation of the angels?
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			There is no other animal
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			that we know of that was given the
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			salat,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			that was given to the Messenger of Allah
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			Rather that salat is purely for the mankind
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			and for the jinn
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			in imitation of the angels. Other than us,
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			the only other than this ummah, the only
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			people who have this salat is who?
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			Is is the the Malaika.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			And this is
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			a great honor for us that despite being
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			shackled with corporeal bodies and despite having an
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			animalistic
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			nature, that Allah
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			should give us the chance that we should
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			be lifted out of that that state
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:30
			for,
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			for for a couple of minutes,
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			you know, after
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:35
			after after,
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			you know, different stretches and spans of the
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:39
			day.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			And it is a respite that a person
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			should wash their sins away from themselves,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			in their in their and
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			they should be granted,
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			audience to stand in front of the Lord,
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			jallahu Allah, in in order to make sajdah
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			in front of Allah. And we take it
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			for granted because a person has something they
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			don't appreciate it. Ask that person who has
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			a heart filled with sin and filled with
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			regret and nobody to make Tawbah to. Ask
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			that person whose forehead is,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			been stuck in the air through their arrogance,
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			and it's killing them inside. And they they
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			they don't know, you know, they don't know
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			what they can do about it. And the
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			people of this Ummah, not only Allah has
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			given us,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			the knowledge of what we can do to
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			dispel the
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			evil effects of sin from our heart, because
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			it's not like we don't sin, and it's
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			not even like we sin less than other
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			people. Many of us, astaghfirullah,
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			Allah knows our how inwardly and outwardly,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			The miskeen who's reading this,
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			reading this book is the first in that
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			list. Allah knows how much we,
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			we disobey him.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			But look at so much honor and nobility
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			that we know what to do, and we
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			have the tawfiq to do it, that, that
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			we have the tafik to put our our
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			our forehead on the ground in front of
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			the Rub Tabarak wa Ta'ala 5 times a
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			day in the Masjid and in the darkness
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			of our own rooms and our own houses
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			when nobody else is around,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			when there is intimacy between the
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			the the the the the slave and the
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			Lord, The slave who is a Aship of
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			the Lord.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			Because the Lord is worthy of being loved.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			Because
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			Allah
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			adorned his entire creation with his mercy.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			Inwardly and outwardly.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			So who wouldn't love him?
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			And despite our ingratitude for that, he gave
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			us the opportunity to make Sajdah in front
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			of him.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			And uh-uh
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			that's that's a great that's a great gift
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			from Allah to Allah.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			And look at what the occasion in the
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			world of causes and effects was for that
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			gift. That the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			Wasallam literally he had to see his family
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			starved to death in front of him. He
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			had to see said the Khadija
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			and Anha in her old age,
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			bear,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			bear the the the pain and suffering, and
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			his children bear the pain and suffering, and
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			his family and relatives and cousins bear it
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			on his behalf,
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			sallallahu alaihiwasallam,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09
			despite not being burdened with the burden of
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			of nubuwa.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			That on the heels of all of that,
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			on the heels of years, 3 years,
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			in which it's mentioned that the only food
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			that would get in is that say Sayid
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:20
			Nabila
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			who is himself himself a slave. So you
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			can imagine that he was himself emaciated.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:29
			So just the depression inside of his armpit,
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			he would,
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			fill it with whatever food stuff he could
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			bring in,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			and he would
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			hold his arm against his body,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			and so that there was nothing for, the
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			mushrikeen who would stand watch over that valley,
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			where the Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib were
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			imprisoned.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			And that's the only food that they saw
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			for so long,
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			was what he would smuggle in inside of
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			his armpit, radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, that the Prophet
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam the idea itself doesn't sound
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			appetizing. Nobody would want to eat something like
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			that, but that was the only thing that
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			they would have. And even that little amount,
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			they would spread it and divide it up
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			amongst people,
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			that through that
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			sacrifice, Allah gave us this salat,
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:16
			which is the highest medium and mechanism for
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			earning the love of Allah Ta'ala and garnering
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			the help of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			attracting the aid and divine assistance of Allah
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to make things that are
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			otherwise impossible possible,
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			both for a person in this world and
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			the hereafter. That through the salat,
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			entire nations of people will be saved from
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			the hellfire. And through the salat, entire nations
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			of people will be,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			forgiven for their sins. Through the salat, the
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			empire of the Persians and the Romans was
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			trampled underfoot.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:45
			Through the salat,
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			so much mercy was distributed to,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			mankind. And through the salat,
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			it's not just the Ottoman Empire and the
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			caliphate and all this other
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			conquest of Roman Persia through the salat.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			You, my brothers, and my sisters, and me,
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			all of us, our our our work will
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			be completed.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			All of our
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			and our needs will be fulfilled. All of
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			our desires,
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			with regards to our eternal life will be
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:12
			fulfilled.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			All of our, all of our griefs will
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:15
			be,
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			sufficed from us. All of these things will
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:18
			be,
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			taken care of through the salat, and it's
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			just there. It's just waiting for us. Sometimes
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			we just need to remind one another and
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			remind ourselves about what the the the benefit
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			of that salat is, that it truly is
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			the greatest
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			and the most,
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			luminous and,
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			the most bountiful and the most filled with
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			grace from all the urad and all the
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:40
			acts of worship that were prescribed to that
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			were prescribed to the the Ummah of Sayedna
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:42
			Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			It was from the inception,
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			of Islam that the practice of the Messenger
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			was to
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			was to propagate Islam to outsiders who entered
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			into Maqamukarama.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			This practice was the cause for the establishment
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			of an Islamic presence in Yathrib, which would
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			then later on become Medina after the,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:08
			after the,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			Hijra, the the Hijra of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			alaihi wasallam. And it start this presence of
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			Islam in in in Madinah was
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			initiated in the 11th year of the prophethood
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			The inhabitants of Madinah Munawala while visiting Makkah,
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			for
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			various needs or trade or for Hajj,
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:34
			those people would embrace Islam and then return
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			back to their city. The Muhajirim,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:40
			from Mecca further augmented the numbers of Muslims
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			in Medina. And so people also, once there's
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			a friendly,
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			outpost established in Yathrib, the Muslims, started to
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			move there as well.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			There was thus a substantial number of Muslims
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			now in in Yathrib.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			They all desired that the Messenger of Allah
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam settle permanently
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			in Madinah Munawala. However, he would repeatedly inform
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			them that Allah most high had not yet
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			commanded him to migrate.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			Thus he waited in Maqamukaram
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			in anticipation of Allah's command,
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			spending, day and night in in in the
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			worship of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			Inshallah, we'll continue, we'll continue when we next
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			get an opportunity.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:19
			Allah,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			give us tawfeeth to,
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			to appreciate,
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			the sacrifices of the Messenger of Allah, salallahu
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			And through that appreciation,
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			through our salat and salaam on the prophet
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in remembering and recounting his
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			struggles that frankly are beyond our capacity in
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			order to,
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:42
			in order
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			to witness much less go through ourselves.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:47
			That
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			Allah also harden our resolve
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			and give us strength in order to
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			get to
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			the that we need to in order to
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			achieve whatever station in Maqam,
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			we need to in this life,
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			so that Allah may be pleased with us
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			and that he may love us and that
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			we should meet him in that state,
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			and that we should have one day. It's
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			struggle. It's difficult, but we should have one
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			day, the tofich, that we,
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			turn our back on,
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			on sin and turn our back on
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			selfishness and carnal desire and arrogance and all
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:23
			of those things that that are, deadly poison
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			that kill us, and that we hate so
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			much, but we have so much difficulty giving
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29
			up. That that love one day be,
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			what gives us and garners for us from
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			Allah the strength in order to to turn
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			our back on those things that destroy us
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			and to walk the path of righteousness,
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			in such a way that we never leave
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:43
			it ever again. Allah give us dawfiq that
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:43
			we
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			we, we we love the salat
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			and that we,
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			use the salat and that we benefit from
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			the salat. And through it, Allah
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			crown us with,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			his help,
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			without which there's no, there's no
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			makzid or
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			objective or aim of this world or the
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			hereafter,
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			that that we're we're going to be able
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			to fulfill for ourselves.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			Without which there is nothing except for,
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			pain and suffering in this world, and that
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			thing which we think is an enjoyment or
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			happiness or success,
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			it will only be a cause for more
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			grief on the day of judgement. Allah taught
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			give us from the salat what he gave
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			the ones that he loves and gives us
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			the give us the salat of the ones
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			that he loves and accept from us, from
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			his father and his karm and his minna.
