Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Hayat alSahabah Glad Tidings to Strangers.mp4

Said that the will

leave, go outside, turn around, and come back

to Hijaz.

Like a snake

goes,

out and then turns around and comes back

into,

its burrow.

What is Al Hejaz? Al Hejaz is the

western part of the Arabian Peninsula.

It's where is. It's where Madina Munawala is.

It says that the deen will go out

and come back to Hejaz

like a snake leaves its hole and then,

turns around and comes back.

And that the deen will seek refuge in

Hijaz,

like the mountain goat seeks refuge on the

top of the mountain. The same mountain goats

and, certain livestock, certain wild animals.

When they're afraid of something, they will climb

up to the highest place that they can

go, in order to seek refuge. And likewise,

it will be that one day the the

deen will seek refuge,

back in Hejaz,

like the, like the mountain goat,

seeks refuge on the top of a mountain.

And, and then, he says sallallahu alaihi wasallam

that the Deen started as a strange matter

and that one day will come when it

will be strange again, when people will

find the customs of the deen, whether it

be not killing your children, whether it be

chastity, whether it be family, whether it be

respecting elders,

whether it be even the belief in Allah

Ta'ala

and his messengers alayhum salatu as salam. All

of these things for

such a large period of time, they were

the norm for for people. They're the norms

for Muslims and for non Muslims, and many

non Muslims are the norm for them because

of the defect and the

the

impression that Islam left on them. You know,

we don't we underestimate sometimes the impression that

Islam has left even on Christianity and on

Judaism.

There are a lot of things in in

Christianity for example.

There is a movement of people they call

iconoclast that wanted to remove all the icons,

pictures,

statues, etcetera from the churches, and they considered

the victory that Allah gave the Muslims over

over the Christians in the early times to

be because of the idolatry, the pagan idolatry

that they brought into the religion.

There are,

movements, in Judaism that are very similar also.

Maimonides, Musa Bin Meimun, he's the great rabbi

of the Jews.

They say that he's the 2nd Musa after

Sayidina Musa

to to them after him. He's the most

important Musa that they've had.

His works on Aqidah are all in Arabic,

and they're almost wholesale,

they're almost wholesale copies of the works of

Imam Khazali

which we don't have a problem. We consider

this to be a sign that Allah enlightened

our

and put it on their tongues, that other

people also recognize it as well. We don't

have a problem with that in any way,

shape, or form.

But, you know, we underestimate that that effect

that we had. But just like

deen and just like the worship of Allah

and just like good character and good values,

became the norm for a while, near the

end of time they will start to become

strange again like they were strange before

the the the deen came. So Allah ta'ala's

Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

says so glad tidings to strangers.

People who practice Islam and who fear Allah

to Allah and emulate his Nabi

and they find themselves

ostracized or they find themselves not fitting in

with the group, good glad tidings, good news

for you if you're one of those people.

And he says, who are those?

Who are those strangers?

They are the ones that that rectify and

that repair

those things that the generality of the public

and the generality of the population have destroyed

from my sunnah after I leave. And

tidings is something that everyone of us should

look forward to. This glad tiding is something

everyone of us should look forward to. We

should have in our hearts some raghuqa and

some hamasa and some some sort of desire

and excitement,

and hope

that we also, Allah Ta'ala, uses us to

bring back the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wasallam after the people have destroyed it.

It's something that that all of us should

look forward to. And it's also

a a kind of an indication to us

that, you know, when the sunnah of Nabi

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is put put forth,

it's not always legally obligatory to follow the

sunnah, but one shouldn't just be like, oh,

this is just a sunnah. 1 should have

some raghbah for it, some sort of excitement

for it even if you're not able to

practice it

yourself on your on your limbs, at least

you should have some sort of love for

it and honor for it and and and

and and,

you know, raise its place inside of your

heart.

At least you should have that in your

heart so that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, inshallah,

may make us amongst those goraba, amongst those

strangers in this world that,

rectify the sunnah, the practice of the sunnah

of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam after the people have destroyed it. May

Allah give all of us so much tawfiq

wa

sallallahu alaihi

wa sallam.
