AI: Summary ©
We reached this Mubarak 6th
night of Ramadan. The
nights of Ramadan that are
characterized by the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
wa
sallam.
That the beginning of it is mercy
and that the middle of it is
forgiveness
and the last is
whoever wishes to ask,
in particular
for the of Allah's mercy.
Those days are slipping by and those nights
are slipping by and they're almost over.
And when they're gone, there'll be something else
Allah will give, but
this thing that
you want right now, it won't be available
again.
So may Allah give all of us to
ask for him,
ask from him, from his rahma.
Or whatever
way a person knows
in the adab of how to speak to
Allah
and how to ask from him. Let everyone
ask in the best way possible. May Allah
give him give us from his rahma amin.
So
we
read the chapters from the
with regards to Badr,
over the last couple of days.
So today, we go to,
his treatment of the battle of Uhud.
And it starts with the subheading revenge, a
binding obligation.
The news of the disaster at Badr in
which a number of Quraysh nobles had fallen
in the fray and the survivors had returned,
* melt Mecca
was received with a dismay that completely bewildered
the Quraish.
It was
an unimaginable
catastrophe for them.
All those whose fathers, sons, or brothers had
been killed had bother Mehta Busafian and others
who had merchandise in the caravan brought back
safely to Mecca.
It was agreed to set aside the profits
from the caravan
for the conduct of a new war against
the Muslims.
The poets, as usual, began inciting the people
with their songs of vengeance.
To the pagan Arabs, blood was called in
order to vindicate their honor. This is something
of
particular note people should pay attention to. He's
talking about the poets inciting people to vengeance.
That's not just something that they used to
do back then. That's something happening right now.
The entire media, Hollywood,
music industry, all of it is there to
be an arm that serves
the government. It's not free expression.
It's not like, oh, look. I'm gonna express
myself. Why is it that all the modes
that I'm given to express myself also happen
to,
just by coincidence,
enrich
all those people who are already in power
and all of those people who are already
wealthy.
This is an arm of the,
of the the kind of the the military,
industrial complex.
This is the arm of soft power,
and, it's very effective.
And that's fine.
If other people are going to,
I don't know, listen to, like, a CIA
plant like,
you know, whatever
musicians are being promoted nowadays. Taylor Swift or
whatever, like, random face generic, you know, popper
face that just is the same songs about
god knows what. That's like the soft arm
of,
imperialist power.
If another person is going to listen to
it, don't you be stupid and listen to
it. Is it dumb enough to listen to
it if you're just a quote unquote normal
American?
But the fact of the matter is when
you yourself as a Muslim and as a
person who believes in Palestine
being free and a person who believes in
a number of moral tenets that are at
odds with the system, like,
you know, that the usury is, you know,
exploits the poor and, like,
alcohol is not a good thing and etcetera,
etcetera. You have all these kind of moral
beliefs that are diametrically opposed to the system.
You would be even dumber than a normal
person to consume all of this media
because it's literally there to incite people to
kill you. People like yourself, look at each
other, look at yourself, look in the mirror.
It's there. It's the phase 1 or the
step 0, I should say,
in the, war to destroy you whether as
a culture or civilization
or at some point as an actual living
and breathing human being.
A well equipped army set off from Mecca
to fight the Rus'ul
in the middle of Shawwal of 3 after
hijra.
Quraysh had mustered an army of 3,000 soldiers,
so it's 3 times the size of the
army that came Badr,
consisting of their own warriors and
such of tribes as would obey them. Their
women went with them riding their dromedaries, their
camels to stir
their valor and prevent them from taking flight.
The nobles of Quresh also took their wives
with them. The army advanced by easy stages
and camped at the gates of Madinah.
The Rasool
plan was to remain in the city,
leaving the invading army alone,
and,
giving fight only when it decided to enter
the city.
He was not for going out of the
city to face the enemy in the battlefield.
Abdullah bin Ubay, was a raisul Munafiqeen.
2 agreed with the Rasul
But some of the Muslims who had somehow
missed the opportunity of engaging the enemy at
Badr were more enthusiastic.
They said, oh, messenger of Allah,
go forth and smite our foes. Otherwise, they
will think that we fear them, too much
to leave the city and face them. While
they kept urging the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam in this way, he went to his
house and put his coat of mail on.
So he put on his armor. So he
wasn't all
talk.
Young the young men who had been keen
on meeting the enemy outside of the city
repented of their imprudent zeal and they saw
the prophet
putting on the armor. Realizing their mistake, they
begged the prophet
to follow his first council for they were
mistaken in persuading him against his will. If
you wish to remain inside the city, they
said, we will not oppose you. But the
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam replied,
it befits not a prophet once he has
put on his armor to lay it off
until he's fought. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam went out with an army of a
1000 strong, but he had not gone far
when Abdullah bin Ubayhi withdrew with a third
of the army's strength. Abdullah said to his
comrades, he disregarded my advice but accepted theirs.
So, obviously, that's the.
They'll stab you in the back right when
you need them.
If you know somebody in your life who
does that to you, then take note of
it. You don't have to say, oh, look.
You're right.
Throw shoes at them or whatever. But do
take note. This is not a good sign
in a personality when they do something like
this. They wanted to say no. They should
have said said no upfront. The person who
abandons you in your time of need is
not a good person.
Of course, Abdulah bin Obe is not just
the
president, but he's also a client. He's also
a Monafiq a 1 Monafiq of,
the first rate himself and so he
he depicted this this, characteristic.
But look at the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
how much of a man he was.
Right? That's he said I put on my
armor now if I take it off, like,
without going to a fight, it's like berareth.
It's not a good thing to do.
That's what that's what they have. Like, the
Yemenis, they have the jambiya. They're like, these
daggers that they carry with them.
They say don't take the dagger out.
You know, don't take out your gun. If
you take out your gun, do it if
you're gonna kill somebody if you're gonna fight.
And then once you take it out, you
don't put it away until, until the fight
happens. Why? Because if you do that, everyone's
gonna say that you're just all talk.
You're fake.
So, obviously, it's not good if you take
your dagger out to kill someone. You shouldn't
kill them. You did it mistakenly.
They have a, they have a custom. They
say that they at least take the dagger
out and slaughter sheep with it.
Why? Because there's some expense to it. So
a person thinks before taking it out.
But the point is is that you don't
just talk like make threats, idle threats, idle
threats. Don't make a threat that you're not
going to carry out. There is
someone who's like that. He said once he's
that's it. He said once they decided, he
put on his armor, he's not gonna he's
not gonna, you know, weak sauce out and
and and and go back and just be
like, oh, it was all just show.
Rather people should know that it's for real.
As a believer, also, you should be like
that. They'll be so quick to rage that
you let your mouth write a check that
your backside can't cash.
But once it's gonna go down,
then it's gonna go down. Don't be don't
be weak in your resolve.
The Rasool
marched to the gorge of the Mount of
Uhud about 3 kilometers north of Madinah and
took up his position.
The north is the only side of Madinah
that's open. There are there are from the
sides, from the west and the east,
there are,
lava rock tracks
that the animals can't pass over. It's hard
to walk over them. And from the south,
roughly, there are mountains. So you have to
come even from Makama Karamor, which is in
south, you have to go all the way
around north and come, up from a particular
place. That's where that place is where the
khandaq was built. It was dug. It was
only from one side because there's natural defenses
from the from the other side. And so
the Mount of Uhud is kind of something
you have to pass before you get into,
where where,
Medina is now.
He also instructed the men, none of you
fight until I give you word. The Rasul
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam then drew up his
troops for battle, which numbered 700 men in
all.
On an enjoining
mountain, he established 50 archers under Abdullah bin
Jubeir
and
instructed them, to keep,
the enemy cavalry away. For he said, in
no case should they be allowed to come
on the Muslims from the rear whether the
Muslims win the day or lose it. Abandon
not your position, he commanded them sternly even
if,
the birds * up these men. Meaning if
they're even if they,
they they die and they start to pick
out their,
their corpses.
The put
on 2 coats of mail on the day
of Uhud. And he gave the standard to
Musa'ib bin Humer, who was mentioned yesterday as
well.
The enthusiasm of the youth, The Rasul sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam had sent back 2 boys,
Samratubljun
Dub and Rafa bin Khudaj,
as they were, about 15 years of age.
The
The prophet later allowed Rafia to join the
troops on the recommendation of his father who
said that Rafia was a good archer. When
Samura was asked to go back, he pleaded
with the Rasul
who had allowed Rafa,
although he could throw Rafa in a wrestling
match. Thereupon,
the 2,
the 2 were ordered
to have a wrestling match and somewhat defeated
Rafa, so he was also allowed to go
to battle.
So, again, look at the difference between what
a a that looks for excuse excuses for,
right,
versus those people who their heart had shoke
and, like, a longing and desire for,
going out in the path of Allah Ta'ala.
The first phase of action,
the battle began and each side hurled itself
against the other while a group of women
headed by the bloodthirsty Hind,
rattling tambourines with singing urge the Quraysh troops
to deeds of valor.
A general engagement ensued in the battle of
Abu Dhabi. Abu Dujana fought with the prophet
sword, killing everybody who came up against him
and advanced deep into the enemy's ranks.
The
martyrdom of Hamza and Mus'abib Umer Radiallahu anhumah.
Hamza, the uncle of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam Radiallahu anhum, fought gallantly and killed a
number of notable Qurayshia leaders.
Nobody was able to stand his dashing charge.
But Washi, the slave of Jubaib al Mutaim,
was watching the movements of Hamza, for he
had been promised freedom by his master on
the condition that he killed Hamza.
Jubaib's uncle, Taimo, had been killed by Hamza
at Badr, while Hind also urged Jubair to
use Washi to assassinate Hamza.
At last, Washi got his chance and took
Hamza unaware. An expert expert javelin thrower as
he was, he launched his javelin at Hamza,
piercing the lower part of his body. Hamza
staggered then collapsed and dropped, in the battlefield
as a martyr.
Musa'aib bin Umer entrenched himself in the defense
of the prophet
and exhibited
singular courage in the thick of battle and
kept attacking,
and keeping the infidels at bay. He at
last fell,
nobly charging, discharging the duty he owed to
Allah and his messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Victory of the Muslims.
Allah fulfilled
the promise he had made to the Muslims.
The history of Badr was repeated once again.
A number of Quraysh nobles fell in succession
and their troops took to their heels.
The Muslims found Hind and her companions abandoning
their songs and running away while tucking up
their garments.
The Quraysh had suffered an obvious route.
The ignominious
retreat of the enemy troops,
and the women accompanied them taking to their
heels and made the archers certain archers certain
of their victories. The archers of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam left at the hillock
in the back and said, don't leave this
place no matter what
happens, victory or defeat. You're not to leave
except for until you get explicit order allowing
you to do so.
Uttering shots of glee, they deserted their post
to despoil the enemy camp of the booty
one. Abdul Abin Jubaer, the leader of the
archers, reminded his men of the command given
by the Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, but none
was prepared to listen to him. So certain
were they a victory that the return of
the enemy running away for life seemed inconceivable
to them. Then the situation changed. No longer
parried by the flying charge of arrows, the
Makkan cavalry found its way to the unprotected
rear of the Muslim army.
So this is in particular,
the,
commander of the cavalry was Khaled bin Walid
who is not Muslim yet. So he saw
in the midst of the chaos, he saw
this opening and exploited it. The standard bearers
of Quraysh had been killed. Their standard was
lying in the dust and nobody dared come
near it. Suddenly, Quraysh came smashing through the
Muslim rear and someone called out, Muhammad
has been killed.
The Muslim troops bounding after the fugitives turned
back to face the enemy in the rear.
The decamping Quraysh soldiers were emboldened in return
to resume their attack on the Muslims. The
situation had now become critical for the Muslims.
The enemy was bent upon taking full advantage
of the opportunity afforded to it. The surprising
confusion overtaking the Muslims was as sudden as,
the 2 pronged attack by the Meccans was
violent.
Qurayshi troops led by Abdullah bin, Kumiyyah, and
Utba ibn Abi Waqqas made a bold charge
and reached well, nay the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam. They reached to him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
The Muslim troops began to waver and several
were honored with martyrdom and the prophet
was hit by a stone. He fell on
his side,
one of his front teeth being smashed. His
face was scoured and his lips were injured.
The Rasulullah
alaihi wasalam wiped the blood running down his
face saying how can a people prosper who
have stained their prophet's face with blood,
as he summons them to their lord. The
majority of the Muslim soldiers had been scattered
and nobody knew where the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was. Ali took a hold of the
prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam's hand while Talhaibnu
Ubaidullah lifted up the rasul, salallahu alaihi wa
sallam, on his feet. Malik bin Sinan was
so carried away that he even licked the
blood flowing from the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's
face. The prop Muslims had actually neither fled
nor had they been discomfited.
Their flanks had folded up so that they
had to make good their retreat in order
to gather strength to face the suddenly altered
situation.
It was no doubt a day of trial
and adversity for the Muslims
in which they had lost a number of
their gallant warriors and virtuous comrades of the
Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. But all this had
come to pass because of the mistake of
the archers who had exposed the Muslim flank.
They disobeyed the Rasulullah
by abandoning the post on which the Rasulullahahu
alaihi wa sallam had stationed them.
Allah verily made good his promise unto you
when you routed them by his leave until
the moment when your courage failed you and
you disagreed about the order and you disobeyed
after he had shown you that with for
for which you long. Some of you desired
this world and some of you desired the
hereafter.
Therefore, he made you flee from them that
he may try you. Yet now he has
forgiven you. Allah is a lord of kindness
to the believers.
The loving companions.
Radhi Allahu Ta'ala and Allahu Ta'ala be pleased
with them. The God of Uhud gave occasion
to the reflection of the word worthiness and
ardent of the companions, brother,
for the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
2 rings from the metal chain strap of
the helmet put on by the messenger of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had been driven
to his Mubarak cheek sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Abu Ubaydah Tughnul Jarrah pulled one of the
rings,
and one of his front teeth dropped out.
He pulled out another ring and another of
his teeth dropped out.
So the Mubarak of Molar teeth of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that came out
of this battle.
You never hear him complain for the rest
of his life about something like that either.
Right?
But they, you know, they gave for the
sake of Allah
They didn't mind. The companions, they gave their
lives, the Rasool salas on himself, he had
still work to do so. Allata kept him
on the world, but he suffered loss.
Abu Dujana leaned over the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam to shield him from arrows
arrows and tell many were stuck in his
back.
Sa'ad bin Abu Waqqah stood by the messenger
of Allah
shooting arrows in his defense
while the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam handed
him arrows 1 by 1 saying shoot.
May my father and mother be your ransom.
Fatah that Tublu Nurman received a blow on
his face, radiya Allahu Anbu, which made one
of his eyes come out of its socket.
The Rasool
restored
it to its place with his own Mubarak
hand, and it was so completely healed that
the eyesight of it became better than that
of the other eye.
The bloodthirsty infidels surged toward the Rasul sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. They were ready to die
a 100 times to kill him.
But God had willed otherwise. 10 of his
companions laid down their life 1 by 1
defending him. Talhatab Nuh protected
the messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam from arrows
shot by the enemy with his hands until
his fingers bled profusely
and his hands were paralyzed.
The Rasul
wanted to climb up, on, the mountain. He
tried to get onto it, but he could
not owing to the weakness caused by his
injuries.
Talhatab Nour Baidila squatted beneath him
and helped him, clamber up the rock. The
Risul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam performed his prayer
on the rock while sitting because of the
wounds he had received.
When the Muslims had been taken by surprise
and dispersed by the enemy horsemen
prodding them on one side and the foot
soldiers on the other, Anas bin Nadar continued
to fight valiantly,
advancing far into the enemy ranks. Saad bin
Muadir radiallahu anhu happened to pass him by
and asked, where do you intend to go?
Anas ibn Nadar said, Saad, I inhale the
fragrance of paradise beyond the hill of Uhud.
Anas bin Nadar came by a few Ansar
and Muhajarin who were sitting gloomily and asked,
what makes you sit there? Alas, the prophet
of god has gone to glory they replied.
Then what's the use of surviving him? Answered
Anas bin Nader. Come and let us die
for what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
gave his life.
Anas then advantage advanced dead set upon the
enemy and died fighting like a hero.
His nephew, Anas bin Malik, or 'aliillahwanhu,
later counted 70 wounds on his uncle that
he had received on that day.
70 wounds and he kept fighting.
In fact, it was difficult to recognize the
body of Anas bin Nadar. His sister was
only able to identify him by special mark
on the tips of his finger.
Ziyad al Muzakhan and 5 other of the
Ansar, the Allahu, and whom were holding off
the enemy bearing down on the Messenger of
Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
The friends of Ziyad fought and died man
by man and Ziyad fell disabled with a
number of wounds. The Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
asked certain persons to bring Ziyad near him
and made his foot a support for Ziyad's
head.
Ziyad died in that condition keeping his chiefs
on the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's foot.
Amr bin Jammu was
lame of leg. He had 4 sons. All
of them were young and sturdy.
Each was anxious to take part in the
battle. On the day of Uhud, the Amr
ibn Jabur expressed his desire to go to
the battlefield, but one of his sons asked
him to stay at home saying that God
had excused him. He called upon the prophet
and told him his sons wanted to prevent
him from taking part in jihad.
Yet, by God, I wish to be slain
so that I may stroll lamely in paradise.
The messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
replied,
Allah has not made the jihad incumbent upon
you. And to his sons he said, what
is the harm if you allow him to
go? It may be that God intends martyrdom
for him. Umar bin Jabu went with the
army and was killed in battle.
Zayd bin Thabit radiAllahu anhu relates on that
day,
on the day of Uhud that the Rasool
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked him to seek out
Saad ibn Rabiir and asked Saad after conveying
his greetings to him how he felt at
the moment.
Zaid searched for Sa'd ibn Rabih and found
him lying wounded amongst the slain,
breathing his last.
Zaid counted 70 cuts of swords, arrows, and
javelins on his body.
Zaid conveyed the message of the Rasul, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, to Saad bin Rabi'ir, to
which he replied,
convey my greetings to the prophet, salallahu alaihi
wa sallam,
and tell him I'm inhaling the fragrance of
the garden.
And tell my people, continue Saad al Rabir.
You would have no excuse with Allah if
the enemy lays its hands on the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam while you still live
and breathe.
Saad had hardly finished his message when he
gave up his life.
Before departing for the battle of Uhud Abdulabin
Jahsh
had thus implored god, upon your word, oh
god.
Tomorrow I shall fight the enemy.
They ought to slay me, rip my belly
up, and cut off my nose and ears.
Then you should ask me for what reason
did it happen? And I would say for
you, my lord.
So
one of the many
wisdoms
of
this all, which if you look at the
actual the, like, the counts, in terms of,
like, casualties and things like that, it's about
equal in Uhud. The reason it's felt like
kind of a defeat and the reason that
the Muslims had to withdraw is because, again,
the way battles work, if one side has
the advantage, then the one that loses the
advantage has to withdraw so that they spare
themselves from a route, which is something that
the Muslims did relatively well.
Otherwise, the number of casualties from both sides
were about the same.
But,
you know, you see that not everything went
well all the time. And that's another kind
of bizarre fairy tale that people
kind of imagine
when they think about, okay, how come in
the beginning of Islam, everything was
so wonderful? The Muslims, like, are invincible, and
they can never lose. But, like, now it
seems like we never win or whatever we
do suffers loss. And, yes, things that we
do poorly
oftentimes suffer loss.
But the idea is that it's not like
the companions or the whom didn't go through
these types of hardships where it looked like
it was all over. It was all going
to be over. One of the salient differences
I want you
to think about is how how do they
react to this idea that, like, we've lost,
completely lost, like, to the point where the
prophet
has been,
murdered, like, lost.
You know, there were some amongst them that
kind of sat down and were like, well,
you know, like, they showed up. It's not
like they didn't fight. It's not like they
didn't go out in the path of Allah,
but they were really disheartened disheartened.
But the best of them were not those
people. The best of them were the ones
who kept fighting, and they told the others
that if someone lays a hand on the
prophet that you take that personally, that's your
responsibility. It's not something that you, like, jerk
off onto somebody else.
And if the Rasool of Solomon is indeed
martyred, then what point is it for you
to sit around? Like, what are you trying
to survive for if that's the case? So
they were all in. They completely were invested
in the the project,
that that was at hand. The project of
Islam in the service of Allah and Hisr
Rasulullah alaihi wasalam, and that was a very,
salient difference. And ironically ironically,
when you are all in, when you put
your heart in like that, then the chance
of your loss and the chance of your
harm and the chance of your,
defeat,
drops them precipitously.
Yes. An individual may give their life for
the sake of Allah ta'ala, but if the
Muslims were like that in their approach, nobody
wants to fight them. This is like the
law of the jungle. I mean, one thing
is the divine aid of Allah Ta'ala coming
down. That's something nobody can
debate in their right mind.
But even
simple,
like, the law of the jungle, what will
happen? The lion is not going to go
and attack every single animal it meets.
If the lion eats a wildebeest, for example,
it's not gonna attack the strongest one. Who
is it gonna attack? Go watch a nature
documentary
after Eid.
You have to go to Tara week now,
so don't do it tonight. But, like, you
know, after Eid, go watch a nature documentary.
They attack the old, the young, the sick,
the weak.
Why? Because if you attack the
the fully grown, like, whatever male wildebeest,
yeah, sure. The lion could probably kill it
as well. But there's a good chance that
it's gonna get kicked in the ribs. It's
gonna get kicked in the face. It's gonna
get some sort of injure injury that it
might die from.
It could go either way. So why take
the chance? Nobody will mess with you. You
have to understand, Kufar, people always think, oh,
look. It's a big left conspiracy.
Oh, look. APAC owns the
the the senate, and they own the congress,
and they own the White House, and they
own this. And then why are they so
over prepared? It's because they're completely afraid. They're
deathly afraid
of,
you know, like the line is of getting
kicked in the ribs
and dying.
And the Muslims understand that this life is
what it's a test.
The real life is with Allah
and the real life is the one that
never ends in the.
Otherwise, who would wanna live in this world
forever?
How many speeding tickets are you gonna try
to contest?
How many times are you gonna your taxes
go up? How many times are you gonna,
you know, someone ding your car? How how
many times are you gonna get called in
for being late to work? How many times
do you wanna pay bills? And how many
times do you wanna, like
I don't know. This is the dumb things
that happen in the world that we see
a Republican beat a Democrat and then see
a Democrat beat their it gets old after
a while, all of it. Right? So we
don't live for any of this. This is
not what our our our,
existence is for, that we wanna go on
to what that real existence is. And so
that's why they're deathly afraid. They're deathly afraid
of that. There's a power in that. That
means that even if we are,
weak
and even if we are poor and even
if we are stupid and even if we
are downtrodden
and backwards and not as high-tech and not
as militarized and not as economically whatever and
financed and all this other stuff, still they're
afraid. They're like, don't mess with these people
because they're, you know, they're crazy,
which is fine. Good. We're not trying to
mess with you in the first place. It's
not like we, I don't know, flew to
Germany and said, hey.
You know, now, we're gonna build settlements, you
know, over your cities or whatever. We're just
minding our business.
And, the places that that our forefathers went,
they made them better.
The proof is that what? Belgrade was not
like a big city before
before the Muslims took over.
Right?
The many, actually, many of the cities, even
Constantinople, it's very fun funny because
my friends in Turkey, they said they're sending
me all the big pictures of Tarawi from
the Hagia Sophia and the weird lights and
all this other stuff that's put up.
I
one of the fun things is that the
Muslims, when they conquered Constantinople, if you read
history from western sources, they're still, like, salty
about it. So they're like they're like, oh,
you know, the Byzantine Empire was already,
they don't even call it the Roman Empire
because they don't wanna admit that the Muslims
beat the Romans. Okay? And it's the Byzantine
Empire was already, like, really worn down, and
only had a tenth of its original population
and it was this and that. And, like,
it really wasn't that big of a deal
that they won because it was already washed
out anyway. Right?
That's exactly the point.
It was washed out and it was done.
No one wanted to live there anymore. It
was complete, like, whatever. It was complete whole.
And now look at it. It's It's like
the center of the world. A war happens
anywhere in the world. Muslim or Kaffir, everybody
wants to run to Istanbul.
And it's not only is it revived and
did they make it a better city than
it was in its heyday,
but now that city is so thoroughly Muslim,
so thoroughly Muslim. There's no direction you can
look in
except for there are more minarets of Masajid
than you can count. I challenge you. Everyone
will end up there one day or another.
Just look. Like, look out the airplane. Can
you count how many minarets can you from
Woodville, you can sure as * count.
Grand total of 0.
Maybe if you're in, like, near Dar es
Salaam, you can count 1 or 2.
The city is so thoroughly Muslim and un,
like, impossible to un Muslim.
That's where the actual,
victory lies.
So the point is is this, is what?
They're not gonna wanna mess with you if
they know that if they know that you're
a person who doesn't care.
But if you care and they care, that's
their game. They're always gonna beat you at
it. They're always 100%
gonna beat you at it. And what's the
point? What's the point? You wanna be there
so that you can, like, you know,
go through, like, this the drudgery of this
duniya forever,
like them? It's not worth it. It's kind
of it's it's it's it gets really old
and it's really stupid. It's something a person
should think about. Is that really what I
wanna do with my life?
Otherwise, a person has a 1,000 things that
they tell themselves that they wanna live for.
You know, we have children, you know, so
I wanna live, you know, to take care
of my takes care of will take care
of them, and Allah is the one who
takes care of them now.
Allah was the one who always took care
of them.
As long as, you know, it's with Allah,
ta'ala, as long as you're here, you should
plan for things, like, in the best way
possible so don't walk around like you have
a death wish. But this fear that you
have inside of your head, if I'm gone,
this is gonna happen, that's gonna happen. But
all of that stuff could have happened anyway.
It could have happened. It would have happened
anyway if Allah wanted it. And it would
have happened right in front of your eyes.
When it's, time to be here, you have
certain things you need to get done. When
it's time to leave, you gotta leave. Look
at the attitude of the companions
that they warned one another. They said that,
what answer are you gonna give to Allah
if one of you is still living and
stay? Lay fingers on the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us still faith.
