Molana Tamim mentioned in his talk yesterday,
in a Ibarra, a
portion of text from the
from the,
which is a book regarding summary of the
beliefs of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
It wasn't
it wasn't Tawiya's original work. Right? Taha'i in
the beginning of the work said that this
is the,
aqidah that was taught by Imam Al Hanifa,
and it wasn't the original work of Imam
Al Hanifa
either. Rather, he met Sayna Anas bin Malik,
and he met a number of Sahaba
and his teachers from the Tabireen were also
the students of the Sahaba
anhu. So this is the aqid of the
Ahlul Sunu al Jama'ah.
What does Ahlul Sunu al Jama'ah mean? Ahlul
Sunu, you understand, the people who follow sunnah.
Who's the jamaa? The jamaa is
the It's not like a democracy, like all
the Muslims can get together in Minneapolis and
have a vote today, and say what we
wanna have as our Islam, that now yesterday,
you know, pork was haram, now it's halal.
That's not what it means. It means the
Sahaba radiAllahu ta'ala anhu. And everyone who follows
their way in every generation until ours. That's
who the jama'a is.
Why? Because that's the only jama'a that Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is going to accept on
the day of judgment.
After the the coming of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi
wa sallam, Allah will not accept from anybody
else.
That's the only people Allah Ta'ala is going
to accept from. And then afterward, whoever gets
forgiven gets forgiven later on. The only people
who will be accepted as the ones that
are on the haqq is what?
Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, that thing that I'm
on and that my companions are on. So,
Taha'i
writes in this alahi at Taha'iyah,
which is universally accepted from all form of
the hip, from all the parts of the
Muslim world, from the east and the west.
It's universally accepted as the basic primer, the
first text that people learn in.
He mentions that the love of
the
What does it mean deen? It means it
is our Sharia.
If you want to understand the Sharia, the
way the Sharia functions inside and out, you
have to understand it through their
expression and transmission of the sharia.
There's no other recension or any other version
of the sharia that's acceptable to Allah.
What does it mean, imam?
Imam means aqidah.
Their aqidah is the aqidah of Islam. Any
other people who claim that they're Muslim, even
if they scream till they're blue in the
face, if their Aqidah doesn't match the Aqidah
of the Sahaba, if it doesn't come down
on the standard of the Sahaba radiAllahu ta'ala
Anhu,
it's not acceptable to Allah Ta'ala.
Wa Ixan.
What does the word Ixan mean? Lexically, it
means to make something beautiful
And it is mentioned
in the hadith of Jibreel alayhi salam,
to worship Allah ta'ala as if you see
him, and if you don't see him to
know that at least he sees you.
What's the highest pleasure in Jannah and the
highest reward in Jannah is to see Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
That that day, the faces will be made
to shine
and they will be gazing upon their lord.
The person who has Ihsan inside of their
heart worships Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala as if
he sees him. Meaning what?
That you have this quality inside your heart
in this world
in a,
in a sense of meanings,
and you will have the literal quality in
the hereafter.
What does it come through? The Mahaba of
the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu. Because it's impossible that
you love the Sahaba and then you hate
Islam, it's impossible that you love the Sahaba
and you hate the Quran. It's impossible that
you love the Sahaba but you hate the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. It's impossible that
you love the Sahaba, and then you worship
idols afterward. It's impossible that you love the
Sahaba, radiAllahu alaihi wa sallam, then hate the
hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
It's a
rational
impossibility. And anyone who hates them,
what
is the what is the sifa of that
person's imam? It's worth mentioning again. This is
not the how it's not some, like, preacher
that, you know,
whatever sectarian preacher that came to India or
Pakistan or whatever, Iraq or one of these
places in modern times. This is not a
rhetorical flourish. This is a technical
technical,
work that describes what the what the the
the characteristic of the virtue of iman is.
That to hate them is what?
Kufrul.
It is disbelief.
Because even if you scream to other blue
in the face, I love Allah, His Rasool
Sallahu alaihi wa sallam, the Quran,
and Madinah and the Kaaba, all of these
things, but you hate the Sahaba
and whom? Who are the ones through whom
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala vouchsafed all of these
things?
It's a it's it's a lie.
It's completely a lie. It's like saying that,
you know, I love so and so but,
like, I killed his wife and children.
That doesn't work. It doesn't work that way.
Things don't work that way.
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam said, well, for
man ahabahu.
For the hubi ahabahu, for man abhalaam for
the boodi abhada. So hadith of the Prophet
Sahawi wasn't making this up, he's just explaining
what it means. He says what? Rasoolullah
said what?
Because of whoever loves me, it's because they
love me that they they love them. Or
whoever loves them,
It's because they love me that they love
them. And whoever hates
them, it's because they hate me that they
hate them.
What
did what did the how he says? He
says, to hate them is what? It's disbelief.
It's kufr, wunifaq,
and it's
what? It's nifaq, it's hypocrisy.
It's to act like you're a Muslim on
the outside
and on the inside,
have the reality, the the the the the
darkness of what? Of Kufr inside of your
heart.
It's a rebellion against Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
It's a twistedness and a crookedness that certain
people have inside of their heart. Turian is
one of the sifaats, it's one of the
the the attributes of kufr.
It's not a small matter.
It's a big deal.
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasalam said, whoever declares,
whoever,
has enmity makes an enemy of a friend
of mine, I declare war on that person.
It's for this reason the person who has
hatred for the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu, it's feared
that that person will not die on imam.
If a person commits other types of sins,
a person should repent and hope that Allah
will forgive them. These types of sins, they're
ridiculous, because imagine, somebody a man is in
love with a woman,
and he steals a kiss from her, and
they're not married. Is it Haram? Of course,
it's Haram. But what there was some desire
in it. Maybe a person can say in
front of Allah, you Allah, she was so
beautiful and I loved her so much,
and, I couldn't control myself. I didn't do
it in order to spite you.
Whereas things like this, like, why would you
hate the ones that Rasool Allah subhan loves?
Do you make money by doing that?
No.
Is there, like, some sort of natural, like,
a man is attracted to a woman, some
sort of natural desire for it, or, like,
a person is hungry for food? Is there
a natural desire in it? Absolutely not. It
is a pure and adulterated
form of kibra, of of arrogance, and of
disrespect to Allah and his Rasool salallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
So it's important. I know that you like,
every speaker has mentioned this again and again
from the beginning. It's worth mentioning. That's why
we're here. Only if you understand the context
in which things are being said will you
be able to benefit from them.
So we move to what? To the Khalifa
Rashidun, who are from the sahaba alayhi wa
anhu.
They're his successors
in every matter except for
receiving wahi, except for receiving
revelation.
Rasulullah
went to the extent
of saying that
It is a responsibility for you to follow
my sunnah
and the sunnah of my rightly guided successors.
Take from it and grasp onto it to
your lower teeth. Meaning, even if you have
to bite onto it and that's the only
way you can hold onto it, bite onto
it, never let it go.
Was
a great Musuli theorist of the Sharia
and a great Muhandith,
in the history of Islam. Probably,
as a conservative estimate, at least 80% of
the people who have unbroken chains of, of
narration and hadith, they narrate through this shawwaulayullah
Ahmad bin Abdul Rahim
in all of the different lands of the
earth, not just in the Indian subcontinent.
He mentioned that the the the
place of
of of the the
Khalafar Rashidun
in our usool is somewhere between Ijtihad and
between tashriyah.
What is
is when, like, there's a question, like, someone
asked me something that didn't happen during the
time of the rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So there's no hadith or whatever. So the
ulema get together and they think about
how we're gonna solve this problem. What's the
correct answer for it? Because there's no direct
answer in the Quran or in the hadith
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So the Ijtihad, for example, somebody asks you,
okay, I'm on the moon right now. What
direction should I pray? The lama are gonna
have to get together and think about it
and get back to you with an answer.
Try their best using what they know in
order to figure out what they don't know.
That's the rank of the normal of lama.
Tashariyah means what? That Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
says something and it's part of the deen.
It means to make something into the Sharia,
to make it to basically say the hadith
and it's a hadith.
This hadith that I mentioned that you have
to take from the sunnah of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said take from
my sunnah and from the sunnah of my
rightly guided successors.
It indicates that the Khalafar Rashidun said that
Abu Bakr said, no Umar said, no Uthman
said, no Ali radiAllahu anhu
that their position is somewhere higher than the
ichtihad of the normal ulama,
although it's lower than the the what the
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said.
It's like a branch of the sunnah of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. He set them in their place, he
told the ummah to respect them, and they're
the ones who kept true to his word.
So just like yesterday, Mawlana Musa talked about
Sin Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.
Today, this talk is like an extension of
that talk.
Because one of the last things that said
Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu did before
leaving this world is that he appointed Umar
radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu as his, Khalifa, as his,
as his successor. So the obedience of Umar
is an extension of the obedience of Sadna
of Ubaka'r Siddiq
and the filafa, the the caliphate, and the
rule over the ummah of the prophet
of Umar
is like an extension of the rule of
Saidna Abu Bakr Siddiq
Just like that, this talk is an extension
of that talk.
And it's, in many ways, you can just
say that it's another chapter in the Fabayl
and the virtues and the beauties of Abu
Bakr Siddiq.
So I'm gonna note that to start from
the beginning, he was born in Makkam Kalama.
He was born to a clan of Puresh.
Puresh is a large tribe, and the tribe
is made up of different clans that that
war with each other or that that that
that dispute with with each other over who
has the superiority and who is in control
of Maqam Karama.
Said Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's grandfather, Abdul
Muttalib, he was the undisputed chief of the
Quraysh.
After he passed away,
the the the control of Quraish will shift
to the other tribal group. There's the Banu
Abdul Shams and Banu Abdul Dada.
Right? Sayna Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam belonged
to the the or sorry, the the the
Sayna Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the branch
that he belonged to,
when he was, a man, they no longer
had control over Maqamukarama. They no longer were
in leadership.
Rather, the branch that said, Muhammad radiAllahu ta'ala
and who belong to, they had control. Who
is the people that belong to who are
the people who belong to that branch? You
have people like,
Abu Jahl. Right? Abu Jahl, his parents didn't
name him Abu Jahl. He became Abu Jahl
because of the ignorance with which he behaved
when Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi sallam called people
to the worship of one god. His name
is Amr bin Hisham. He belongs to a
clan of of called So He belongs to
a clan of of Quresh called Mahzum.
So now Amr Ali along one who belongs
to a clan called Adi, which is
allied with Banu Abd Dhar, with with Makzum.
Al Walid ibn Muhgira is the father of
Khalid bin Walid. Right? His name is Al
Walid, and Khalid is Khalid bin Walid.
Alwaleed ibn Muhgira
is also from this branch of Mahzum.
These are the people basically through their
wealth.
They take over Uraish even though they're not
the the favored and this the the more
noble branch of of the tribe.
So when rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam declares
his, prophethood,
a problem happens politically
because they say, their forefathers are kings, our
forefathers are their forefathers rule Quraysh, and our
forefathers rule Quraysh turn by turn. We can
compete with them about that. When
he says that he's a a and that'd
be we're not gonna be able to compete
with that. This is just some sort of
bogus, like, one upsmanship that that's going on
and we don't accept any part of it.
And you see that those people, in general,
are
the ones that are most, vociferously
opposed to,
opposed to, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's
prophet which is his Nabuah. Right? So the
first lesson we take from this is what?
Don't be a hater.
Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, his being the
messenger of Allah, is there any part of
Quraish that's not honored by it?
It exalted the name of Quresh amongst the
entire world, not just amongst the Arabs, amongst
the entire world.
Maybe if there's another planet that has, like,
aliens on it. Right?
Will go there and make dawah and they'll
accept Islam and they'll come to earth for
Hajj. Universe. Don't be a hater. If someone
near you or next to you has
some sort of good inside of them, if
you accept it and you help them, you'll
also receive a part of that good. If
you hate on them and you're jealous, you
neither make them bad by being jealous on
them, you just hurt yourself. You're just kicking
yourself in the foot, you're shooting yourself sorry,
you're shooting yourself in the foot, you're just
harming yourself.
So this is the the the the the
the the clan that, Omar alaihi wa ta'ala
anhu was born to, and his mother is
also from Mahzum.
His mother he's from Adi and his mother
is from
They're they're like side of in power right
now, and so they're already kinda anxious why
is why is he claiming, prophethood? What are
we gonna do with this now? And so
they say he's a liar, he's possessed, he's
a poet, he's in, possessed by a jinn,
he's crazy, all of these other things,
Abu Billah. But,
that's the the the scene that he's born
born into. The part of Quresh that he's
in, it's not the same the clan of
tame that Abu Bakr radiaahuhan was born into.
They don't have this rivalry with Banu Hashim.
Right? So now Ali is born into Banu
Hashim. Right? Even Saidna Uthman radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu,
they're from Banu Aptashams. They're from the the
the the tribal confederation that is actually closer
to Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Even though
they some of them many of them opposed
the the the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
family members and cousins and close part of
part of where she belongs to, they're already
very defensive about this whole thing.
He,
Radiullah ta'ala Anhu is the son of Al
Khattab.
Khattab is a man of very gross temper.
He's a very angry man and he's a
very violent man.
Khatab who
is is Khatab,
Ibu,
Nufail.
Khatab has a cousin by the name of
Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl.
He's like a nephew to him, but he's
like a cousin because they're similar in age.
So khatab is what? He has like a
a relative, a kinsman by the name of
Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl.
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi sallam describes Zayn bin Amr
bin Nufayl as being
as being a person in Jahiliya
who used to
shun the worship of idols.
He didn't use to worship idols. He used
to shun the worship of idols.
And he used to,
reproach for their practices, ignorant practices.
One of one of the most noteworthy,
things that he used to do was that
when,
the people in Jahiliyyah
from Quresh to idolaters would have a daughter,
they would oftentimes bury the baby girl alive.
Sometimes when she's just born, and sometimes after
like a year or several months or 2
years when she's still a little girl, they'll
bury her alive. Why? Because they say, oh,
she's just going to bring shame on our
family. She's going to be a burden. We
have to feed her. She cannot fight. She
cannot work. She cannot earn money. So they
should bury their daughters alive, which is a
completely in inhuman act. Zayd bin Amr bin
Nufayl when he would hear that somebody is
going to
is going to bury their daughter alive, he
would show up and he would plead with
the parents, let her go. I'll take care
of her.
Let her go. I'll take care of her.
I'll raise her. And so when they would
let him take the girl, imagine how difficult
it is if somebody just gave you like
a baby, like a 2 year old girl,
and you have to take care of her
now. How difficult will that be? Even if
you have a wife, even if you have
a family to help you, even if you
have money, how difficult will it be? And
we have what? We have all of these,
grocery stores
and
Caribou
and Taco Bell and Crescent Moon Halal restaurant
and all these things to aid a person
in there and their living. Whereas in those
days, if you want to make tea, you
have to go get the firewood yourself, start
the fire yourself without matches, without a lighter.
Things were very difficult in those days. So
imagine this man raised several several girls like
this, and what happened is when they became
ballads, when they became adult, like the age
of majority, like 14, 15 years old, he
would take the same girl back to her
family, and say, look, all the hard part
is such, you know, we have to feed
her, I fed her, she's an adult now.
If you want, you can take her back,
and if you don't,
then you can leave her now. So he
would give the girls back, sometimes the family
wouldn't accept the girl still, so he'll
go himself and find someone for her to
marry and marry her off.
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam said about the
Zayd bin Amr bin Nufail, that on the
day of judgment, Allah Ta'ala will raise him
up as an ummah unto himself.
Allah Ta'ala will raise him up. He's not
going to be one of the mushi'in, one
of the juhal.
Allah will raise up raise him up unto
himself, Allah will accept from him, and he
will be like the ummah
unto himself.
Now, why do I tell you his story?
The reason I tell you his story is
what? Khattab, who is his nephew by relation
but like his cousin, basically, they grew up
together. He thought this man is an embarrassment.
He thought this man is a, this man
is an embarrassment. This man is an embarrassment
to Quraysh, and he threatened him. He said,
if you come anywhere near the Kaaba, I'll
kill you. So he had to live in
the outskirts of Makkamukarama.
This Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl had a
son whose name is Sayid.
For those of you who remember from the
Ashar of Mubashilim Bin Jannah,
there's one name, Khan Sayid bin Zayd. He's
the least well known out of all of
them.
Him and Omar Khattab, it's a very similar
dynamic, they're like cousins,
right? Sayyid bin Zayed accepts Islam first.
He's a soft hearted man,
and he's a man of beautiful aflab. But
the difference here is what? He's older than
Abdul
Abdul Khattab,
and, said, Nur alayhi wa manhu, when he's
a, like, a little kid, he looks up
to him, and and he sticks up for
his little cousin, and they have a good
relationship with each other, and they have a
lot of respect for one another.
So, Omar Ibn Khattab, like the rest of
his clan, he's really like, what is this
Islam stuff? This is he's just lying, he's
making all these things up, this is all
bogus, they're doing this to ruin our way
of life, maybe they just wanna take power,
maybe they wanna make money, and this is
all a big fraud. But the thing that
unsettles him inside of his mind is what?
My cousin, Sayed,
he's a good man.
He's a decent man. He's an upright man.
He took care of me when I was
a kid. He stuck up for me like
an elder brother and I never saw anything
from him except for good. Why is it
that he's following this?
So he had trouble trouble dealing with that.
Despite that, what happens, there's a fork in
the road.
Things can go either way. Omar Ibn Khattab
is an intelligent person. He's one of the
few people from Quresh who knew how to
read, by the way, before Islam came.
His uncle, Abu Jahl, you know what his
nickname used to be before the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam came? Used to be Abu
Hakam.
Right? Hakam is like Muhiqma, like wisdom.
And he became Abu Jahl afterward because he
he used to have all the characteristics
of a good man. He used to feed
the hungry. He used to settle people's disputes.
He used to solve people's problems in Jahiliya.
But it was all fake.
It was all fake. The secret, there was
still like a bug inside of him that
he was able to hide from everybody, but
allata exposed it to everybody
that this man only knew all these things
because he wanted to be a tough guy,
macho guy, show off in front of everybody.
Right? Inside his heart, there was still this
bug inside and he didn't clean it out,
which is another lesson for all of us.
Instead of going out there trying to show
how wonderful we are,
Don't don't, like, show that you're better than
who you really are or show how wonderful
you are. Allah knows best who fears him.
So this man went forward and wanted to
be a leader, but he still had sickness
inside of his heart. He should have worked
on himself. Because of this hypocrisy, Allah exposed
him in front of everybody.
So who's Abu Hakam? Right? Abu Jahl, who's
his favorite nephew? The one who he thinks
that or his favorite, youngster. He thinks that
this guy is gonna be the one who
takes my place. He's like my protege, my
under study, my, he's gonna be my successor.
It's Omar Ibn Khattab.
So Omar alayhi wa ta'ala anhu just like
on the line of his, of his uncle.
He hates the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
He hates Islam. He thinks the entire thing
is a fraud in order to,
shame the names of their forefathers.
Just like Khattab thought the same thing about
his about his, cousin. Right? Zayd bin Amr
bin Nufail.
So one day,
this
injustice that he feels is happening, it fills
his heart.
And notice,
he doesn't go and ask the prophet
or talk to him about anything. Rather, he
just hears one side of the story, and
he gets real upset.
Sheikh, Waleed said in the beginning. He's a
big guy. He had to lift his feet
off the ground even when riding on a
riding beast so that they don't drag.
So when he comes out with a sword
in in the streets of Makkah Mukarama, everybody
knows something's about to go down. So one
of the Muslims asked him, what are you
gonna go do? He said, I'm gonna go
and kill Muhammad
this, to murder the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
sallam would have been the biggest sin that
was ever committed.
But Allah ta'ala saw, unlike his uncle
Abu Jahal,
who showed good on outside, but on the
inside, he was sick.
This Umar the al Rahman who wrote this
kefir was the opposite, that he showed every
sign of sickness on the outside,
but on the inside, he was doing it,
why, out of sincerity?
It was a wrong sincerity. It was misguided,
but it was what he felt that something
wrong was happening. He was gonna set it
straight with his own hands. He's not all
about talking smack and then, you know, afterward,
like, sitting back, laying back, and just letting
everything happen. Right? He wasn't he wasn't fronting
you. It's for real. Right? Allah loves people
who are for real, by the way.
If you're good, then that's real good.
But Allah doesn't like people who are who
are like 2 faced or like who are
just fakers.
So what happens? He takes his sword and
he's gonna go kill the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. 1 of the sahaba alaihi wa
sallam sees, like, what's going on? He asked,
yo, oh, oh, oh, what's going on? What
are you gonna do? He said, I'm gonna
go kill Muhammad.
He doesn't know that this this, person has
become a Muslim.
And so that's a Habib al lillahi wahum,
you know, he's like, oh my goodness. This
guy is gonna do this right now. We
have to think fast. So the only thing
he can think to do is say what?
He said, you know what?
If you're such a if you're such a
big guy who loves justice so much,
instead of going and killing somebody else from
the different clan, go sort out your own
family first. Your sister became Muslim.
This
he has fairness inside of him, right?
Which is why he has a good point.
I'm not going to go and fix everybody
else's clan whereas this thing isn't mine. We
have to fix our own house first. So
what does he do? He he storms off
to his sister's house.
So his sister, his brother-in-law,
in Khabab al al-'arath radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, who
is one of the one of the people
who Rasool Allahu alaihi wa sallam taught the
Quran and that person used to go and
teach the Quran to other people.
This is the rank of the ulema of
this ummah, by the way. When Rasulullah salallahu
alaihi wasalam was alive, do you think every
fifth question he used to answer?
No.
He used to have people who knew the
Sharia enough, Even during his lifetime,
people would go to them to ask because
you cannot take every question. You know, if
someone becomes a new Muslim, you know, they
want to Yusuf wants to, like, memorize,
Abbas Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
and memorize it from him. You go to
one of the Quran teachers that Rasool Allah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam appointed. Right?
Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW
Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW
Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW
Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW
Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW
Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW
Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW Allah SAW
Allah SAW Allah
Right?
We didn't send down this Quran.
We didn't send this Quran down on you
so that you can be wretched,
So that
it's it's like a burden on you or
a bummer on you. Although many people think
that sometimes. Right? Aban, that I'm a Muslim.
Everybody else gets to, like, have a pepperoni
pizza and and have fun and go to
the dance and whatever. And I'm the only
one with the sit in the corner and
eat cheese pizza because it's halal or what
that's not why. Allah tells it to prepare
something better for you. Right? So these are
the I have that are coming down. And
Right? So these are the that are coming
down and,
and they they sound so beautiful in Arabic.
And what happens is that,
you know, someone says, Omar is coming, Khabab
bin Arath Radhiallahu Anhu, he's like a person,
he has no tribal protection.
Amr could have killed him like a like
an animal, and nobody would have said anything.
Nobody there would not have been any consequence.
So in fear, he hid behind the curtain.
Omar alayahu alayhi wa'am who comes busts in
the door, and he,
yells at his sister, is it true that
you you,
accepted the deen of Mohammed?
Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
And she says, yes. And he hits her.
He hits her. And he hits her so
hard, she starts to bleed.
And she
feels and and she's just like, you know,
she she's just like struck now.
And now all of a sudden, he feels
like, you know what? This wasn't right.
He feels something human inside of him that
this wasn't right. What I did, it wasn't
right. So he calms down. He just he
pulls himself back from going down that path,
And then, what happens is that he asks
he says, what is this hey manna? What
is this weird him enchanting that I hear
from you
when I came into the house? And she
said it's the Quran. And, he said, let
me see it. She says, no. You don't
have.
I mean, he's literally gonna come and kill
her. Right?
This means what? Not only did they used
to learn the Quran, they also knew fit
as well.
And they used to actually practice it. They
believed it to be sacred. Nowadays, anything happens.
Right? Something's inconvenient.
They're like, oh, well, you know, Sheikh Google
said that I don't have to do this
and that and whatever and stuff for a
lot. No prob no. Like, literally, her brother
came to her house to kill her. Still,
she respects the Sharia, but still, she Still,
she respects the Sharia of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
So what happens? Because this is important to
know. He'll go and make wudu at that
time.
What happens from the wudu? It changes you.
It makes you a better person.
Next time you get upset, maybe you should
make wudu. It's actually hadith, the prophet said
that. You should make what's one of the
things of ways of dealing with anger is
make wudu.
Right? Imagine it changed him from
being on his way to kill kill the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and his sister
to what?
Just like, let's see what's there inside the
inside this this,
Quran of yours. And so then he makes
wudu
and he reads what's on the scroll because
he's one of the few people who knew
how to read.
And he's he he he he praised it.
He said, what wonderful
words are these? This is not the, like,
garbage that I thought that that it was.
This is something beautiful.
And so Khabab bin Arath Radiallahu who comes
out from behind the then he's, oh, I
can tell you more about it.
Right?
And so what happens? He left his house
to do what?
And And now what is he gonna do?
Now he's gonna go to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, and he's going to accept
the deen at his hands.
When he knocks on the door, Rasulullah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam is sitting with his companions
and will say, nahamzal radiAllahu anhu. All of
them, when they hear Omar is coming, they're
like, oh my goodness. This is all gonna
go down now. This is like the this
is gonna be,
you know, this is gonna be like like
a very Hollywood type ending. It's not gonna
be good. Because they knew him. They knew
his disposition and they knew what he was
capable of and they knew,
what his feelings were about the dean, and
they knew he was, like, tight with his
uncle. Who's what? Abu Jahal.
So what happens in the hamza radiAllahu anhu
says, don't worry, let him in.
That I bear witness. I testify that there's
no God except for Allah and that Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is his messenger.
And then what does he do after accepting
Islam?
The first thing he does is he goes
to
Abuja.
His uncle's like, oh, Betty, how's how's it
going? My favorite nephew and whatever and
awesome, wonderful, this and that. You know, good
to see you. I'm glad you came by,
etcetera, etcetera.
And, sit down. Let's no. No. No. No
need to sit down. I just wanted to
say one thing to you. He said, what?
Cusses him out the door and says, get
lost.
Now, look at this.
First of all, I said, no, umbrul Khattab
What
was he? He wasn't like undercover Muslim.
It's one thing. There have been times in
this ummah, if you say you're a Muslim,
people will kill you.
Do we live in that time right now?
No. There are times in your life, it's
probably not a good idea to, like, rub
the Islam in your in somebody's face or
whatever. Right? Like, if you're in a dark
alley and someone's like, oh, I hate Muslims,
and the other guy's like, I hate Muslims,
and the 3rd guy and the 5th guy,
they'll say, Hey Muslims. And they're all like,
Masha'Allah. I have, like, tattoos all over the
thing and each one one of us switchblade
in his hand. That's probably, like, a good
time to be like, Yeah. My name is
Bill and just slip away. If that's how
you roll.
If that's how you roll. There's still some
people from this umah. They're gonna say that
I'm I'm a Muslim and Allah will protect
them. Nothing will happen to them.
But if that's not you're you're not feeling
it at that time, it's one of those
don't try this at home, you know, kid,
don't try this at home type of deals.
Right?
The idea is that many of the day
to day situations that we're in right now,
we can't nothing's gonna happen to us. Shaitan
makes you so afraid something's gonna happen to
you. Sid Amr who
never feared any of that, that's why Allah
protected him from any of these from any
of these consequences.
This is the
the reason that Sayed Amr alaihi alaihi who
became Muslim
in the normal causes and effects,
world that that you and I the physical
world of cause and effects that we look
at and think about? What was the what
was the spiritual
cause for him to accept Islam?
Rasulullah salalahu alaihi wa sallam was a beautiful
person and he used to see the beauty
in everybody.
He used to see good in everybody.
His wish was that everybody receive Hidayah.
His wish was that he broke his heart
when people would die on on Kufr.
He wished that Abu Jahal become Muslim. He
wished that Abu Jahal become Muslim.
He wished that everyone would become Muslim.
And so his dua from
was what? You Allah, one of at least
one of the 2 Umar's give them guidance.
Who are the 2 who are the 2
Ummars? Amr bin Hisham Abu Jahl, the uncle,
and the nephew, Umar ibn Khattab.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, his decision came down
on who?
Anomer Abdul Khattab
and it's the Dua of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam that brought him into Islam.
This is another realization that there's nobody by
the consensus of our Aqidah that has a
higher Maqam than Omar
in this Deen except for Abu Bakr radiAllahu
anhu and the prophets alayhi wa sallam.
Even him, it's what? It's not him who
earned his place in this this this ummah
It's what? It's all barakah from somebody else's,
dua from somebody else's,
effort from somebody else's, crying in front of
Allah ta'ala, from somebody else's, asking Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala from somebody else's good deeds.
And ultimately, even all of that is from
the fable of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, who created the prophet precisely
like he created him, so that we can
benefit from his duas, that we can benefit
from his crying, we can benefit from his
asking.
So this Omar Ibn Khattab, when he became
a Muslim, the the Sahar
said, before that, Islam and Muslims used to
be humiliated.
In reality, it's never humiliated.
But in the out world outward sense, people
used
to mock and jeer the Muslims. They used
to do
just stupid things
to Rasool Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. They
throw garbage at him. One time he was
making sajdas, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. They threw
the entrails of a a camel on top
of him. He literally couldn't lift it off.
It was so heavy.
And it it it almost killed him. They
used to do these kinds of silly things
with him, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
But since then, Omar Ibn Khattab, radiAllahu an,
who became Muslim,
they didn't fear Allah and they didn't fear
the message of sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, but
they were sure as heck afraid of Omar
Ibn Khattab.
And
like Sheikh Waleed mentioned that before that, they
couldn't come and pray the Salat in front
of the Kaaba, after that, they could the
salah in front of the Kaaba because they
knew that if they started something, there would
be somebody else to give, an answer back.
They knew there would be somebody who has
for Islam. You know what is?
Right? Is a word for the youngsters. There's
no translation of it in English. And like
Muhammed Tawlohak used to say, that's maybe why
nobody here has it.
Is a word meaning what?
It's a word meaning the feeling that you
feel when somebody attacks or threatens something dear
to you, close to you. So if somebody
is, like, attacking, like, an old woman outside,
is that good or bad?
It's bad. If that old woman is your
mother, that's even worse.
You'll feel different between the 2 of them.
It's not that you feel that's not like
you don't have respect for, like, any random
old woman, but when it's your mother, you're
gonna you're gonna feel a type of anger
that's different than when you when it's just
someone you don't know.
That's a good feeling.
That's a good feeling. Saad bin Wa'al showed
his gaira one time.
The Messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi wasallam smiled
and said, Yasad,
Allah is pleased with your hayra, and know
that the Messenger of Allah has more hayra
than you, and that Allah has more hayra
than His Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. That's
why in the beginning we mentioned that don't
mess with somebody who Allah Ta'ala loves. Don't
say he says something bad about it, because
if you fall across paths with Allah Ta'ala's
gaira in the wrong way,
garbage, or do stupid things to Islam, or
to the Muslims, or to the Messenger of
Allah
except for
he was there to make that not happen,
to
be an impediment between that thing being said
or being done, and to be
a deterrent from anyone, saying or doing anything
like that again.
When it was time for the hijrah to
go to where? To go to Madinah Munawwara,
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam gave in the beginning,
he used to give
permission to his companions to make hijra. The
command came, everybody has to go.
Whoever
could have gone and didn't go, some people
were stuck, that was different. Whoever could have
gone but didn't go,
that was considered to be a baddest, a
stain and a blight on their Islam.
But the problem is this, is that after
a couple people started leaving, the mushrikin of
Mecca, what they would do is they would
grab the people when they're leaving, they would
take their property,
undercover. They had to leave in the darkness
of the night where they had to slip
out, slip away.
Everybody except
Omar Abdel Kattab.
He went out in the middle of the
day on purpose,
he took his bow out
and he said, I'm the best archer in
all of Quraish,
Whoever wishes to lose their life on this
day, come and try to stop me.
Nobody had the backbone, nobody had the guts
to say or do anything.
And he literally just broad daylight, walked right
out of Makkabukarama,
and he made his hijrah.
As for Abu Bakr Siddiq
when he wanted to make his hijrah, he
was one of the first people who wanted
to go because he knew this is a
commandment of deen. Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam would stop him again and again and
again, and finally, he told him, I wanted
you to stay back. Why? Because I want
you to be my companion to leave.
So say, not Umar ibn Khattar, he's
one of the first people to leave. Look
at the reira of Ubaka Sadiq
He arrives in Madinah Munawwala, and he sets
up just like every other one of the
Saabar radiAllahu anhu sets up. He goes through
whatever difficulties like everybody else goes through difficulties.
When it's time to go out in the
path of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he never
stays back from any battle. When it's time
to go out in the path of Allah
ta'ala at the battle of Badr,
after the Muslims have victory,
all of
the the prisoners from the mushrikeen
that they captured,
it's nearly 70 prisoners that they captured,
all of them, Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
asks, what's the the mashura? What are you
what what is your advice that that we
should do with these with these captives?
And so said,
Abu Bakr said, Abu Bakr
said what? I think we should forgive them.
Why?
Because maybe from their progeny, they're going to
be people who accept the dean later on.
And this is his sagacity, it's his wisdom
that a bloodline can be in Kufa for
a 100 generations.
If even one of those generations says, it
becomes the reason for all of them having
existed.
What did he say?
He said not only should we kill all
of them, how dare they oppose the Messenger
of Allah
wa sallam, but
he said to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, say, you take Abbas,
your uncle, and you kill him with your
own hand. He said to Abu Bakr, you
take your son,
you fought against the Muslims, and you kill
him with your own hand. He said, I'll
take whoever is from Adeen from Magzum, and
I'll kill them with my own hand so
that the mushrike know after this day, we
mean business. That their Jahili system,
it's over.
It's overturned, it doesn't even exist, it doesn't
even exist to us,
because that's what happened in the beginning, when
the the
before the battle started,
there are 3 champions from the mushrike in
who came out, 3 tough guys
The 3 of
who? Abuja.
No. No. Not Abuja. So the 3 of
them, they come out and they they challenge
the Muslims that who are your 3 champions
will challenge you to single combat in front
of everybody.
And so, 3 of the Ansari, you have
to you have to appreciate how awesome the
Sahaba
were. Without skipping a beat, 3 of the
Ansar come out and said, well, that's it,
we'll do them. The Musharikina of Quraysh are
confused, they're like, who are these people?
And they say, You know what?
We don't understand what's going on, we didn't
even come here to fight with you, we
don't even know who you people are.
This is like, why are you even here?
This is our
beef we have,
right? This is our beef we have, Mazum
and Banu Abdul Dhan versus Banu Abdul Shams.
Why are you guys why are you guys
here, like, they don't even get it, they
don't even understand.
There are 2,
teenagers from the Ansar.
They're barely young enough to be allowed even
to go and join the battle.
They asked they asked the the Sahaba radiAllahu
anhu, who is this Abu Jahl?
Who is this Abu Jahl?
We point him out to us, we want
to know who is this man who is
so abusive, and who is so violent, who
is so
despicable with the messenger of Allah
He's made our to do list, we're gonna
do him today.
Imagine,
that both of them are on foot with
swords, he's mounted, has armor, he's a trained
warrior.
The Ansar
are like farmers, they come forward, they're like,
that's it, we're gonna do they're like upset,
they're like gonna defend the prophet and the
mushrikeen are like what's even what's going on?
Who are you? And then the Messenger he
tells the Ansar, come back, come back, it's
okay. And then he sends 3 people forward
from his own family,
From from not only not only from the
but not not only from Quresh, but the
closest three relatives that are there in the
army, he sends them first to go and
fight them, because the mushrikeen don't understand what's
going on. So, it's in that backdrop. What
did Umar ibn Khattab
say?
He said,
I'll execute my relatives with my own hand
and let them know that we'll send a
message to them, so they know that this
happened. Abu Bakr, you execute your son,
Rasulullah, you execute your
uncle, so that they know we mean business,
that this is something that we don't have
any compromise with regards to anymore.
Ab Rasool Allahu alaihi wa sallam, he took
the Mashra and he did a compromise that
they're going to ransom. They're neither gonna let
them off free like Abu Bakr alaihi wa
sallam who suggested,
nor are they going to,
nor are they going to execute them like
Sid Amr
suggested.
Rather, they're going to ransom them. Whoever can
pay the ransom, that person goes free and
whoever cannot pay the ransom but knows how
to read and write, whoever teaches 10 10
Muslims to read and write, that person will
also go free.
But what is very interesting, there's a hadith,
I think in the Muslim, the bazaar, in
which said, Nama
said there are 3 issues in which
I had an opinion and my opinion,
agreed with the the revelation of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And one of those things was what? Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala himself said to the
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that
those mushrikeen that came and fought you,
you,
it wasn't proper that they should be ransomed.
They should have paid for,
showing up against in the enmity of Allah,
His Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Right? What are the other two issues? One
is that the said, the Amr alaihi wa
sallam, who he once came to the messenger
of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam and said to him, there
are certain people, the way that they look
at at and
the way they talk to
the mothers of the believers, they don't show
respect properly.
So they should that his suggestion is that
they should be covered behind the. They should
be behind the veil.
So that so that what people don't disrespect
the in that way.
And then what
the hijabs are revealed after that.
This is one of the things, Masha'a, people
will, like, muster chops about, like, why is
there a barrier in the masjid? There's no
barrier in the masjid of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam in the old days.
Yeah.
The reason for the barrier is what? It's
because this is the sunnah of the Muhammad
Meaning
this is the sunnah of the
Ahlulbayt of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
one of the meanings is the relatives of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. But there's
a hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, alu Mohammed and kulu tatiyin. The family
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is
everyone who fears Allah.
So it's okay for you to follow their
sunnah as well.
This is a long other hadith discussion with
regards to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
that during his lifetime, when the women would
come and pray in the masjid, they didn't
come for 5 prayers, they only came for
2. Which ones? For Fajr and for Isha.
It was only in the 8th year of
Hijra that a candle, Tamim Udari
had the idea of bringing candles into the
masjid. Now, imagine in a building of this
size,
if you put in like 5, 6 candles,
are you gonna be able to see anything?
No. You're just going to be able to
see silhouettes. You will not see things clearly
that you can see my face and I
can see your face.
Even then even then, even despite that fact,
what did the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam say? That the best prayer of
the man is in congregation and the best
prayer of the woman is at homes alone.
Even then, what did the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say? So which means
what? If you pray at home as a
man, it's valid. Just like that if the
sisters pray in the masjid, it's valid.
Even then, what did the messenger of Allah
sallallahu ahi wa sallam say? The best of
the sufuf of the men are which ones?
The front.
Which are the best sufuf of the women?
The back ones.
Right? So don't get confused. Some people will
try to push you extreme one direction, kick
the women out of the masjid, and this
and that, and some people, nowadays, it's very
fashionable to push it in the other direction.
That's not that's that's an extreme. Said Namr
and
it's very interesting.
Later on, there's a hadith narrated in the
Muwatta by him.
He's the one who gave the suggestion for
the Muhammad al Mu'mineen that they should that
nobody should meet them except for behind the
hijab.
He's the same one
that he told the women, don't come to
the masjid the way that you come because
the women started coming without the same amount
of that they used to have during the
time of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. But still, his moderation was what?
Was that he
would narrate from the Messenger of Allah
I heard the Messenger of Allah
say,
don't forbid the slave women of Allah from
coming to the masjid.
So he gave them the correct advice,
just like he gave the correct advice for
the family of the Prophet
and the ayat came down, but on the
flip side, he also didn't kick them out,
throw them out of the masjid. Some of
the women were upset, how dare he say
this? So who are they gonna go and
complain to? They're gonna go and complain to
say, the Aisha
What did she say? She's like, yeah,
girl
power. Don't let someone else's like, civilization of
baggage and issues
influence what how we practice our Islam.
The the
the and
the and
the Sahabi'at,
There is nobody who is impinging on their
rights. They used to speak up. If they
had an issue, they used to speak up.
Said Aisha, what
did she say? Grow power, how dare you
tell us that? No. She said, you know
what? If there was a soul,
the way that you come to the Masjid
nowadays,
he would have also forbid you from coming.
So this is the second one. What's the
third one? The third one is what? When
they when they on the day of the
fatra, when they entered into the Haram, the
mastul of Haram,
the rows are circles, right? So where is
the imam supposed to stand?
So people gave different opinions, and the honorable
Khattab,
he said that the the imam should stand
where?
Should stand where the Maqam of Ibrahim is.
Right? What Taqidu Maqam Ibrahim Musalla.
Right? Then the the the wahi comes down
on it. So there's a hadith of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that the that
every,
every, poem and every ummah has a it's
Muhadath or Muhadath?
Muhadath. Right? That he has a every every
every ummah has a muhadath. What is muhadath?
Somebody who receives the
somebody who,
resonates with the with the signal of revelation.
Meaning, he's not a nabi,
but when the when the wahi comes down,
it affects him.
And one of the interesting ways that this
was explained to us by our in
in in in in in in in Lahore,
and it's a very modern example, is if
you put like a cell phone on top
of a radio,
like a
like a second and a half before the
phone rings, the radio starts to hiss.
It's not like the radio is a phone,
you can't get a phone call on it,
but this phone signal affects it somehow.
Said, umre ibn al Khattab
whose heart was so clean and it was
so pure
that when the wahi would come on the
prophet
it would affect him as well. And so,
he would get these kind of like, these
images,
and it wasn't the only miracle of saint
Omar Khattab radiAllahu
anhu.
So saint Omar radiAllahu anhu, what was his
gaira?
We mentioned the battle of Badr, what was
his gaira on the battle of Uhud?
When the Muslims were initially winning, and then
they had to retreat in haste because of
the whole issue of the archers, the hillock,
and everything.
When the Muslims finally retreated up the mountain
to a place where the mushrikeen were too
tired and exhausted to be able to to
to be able to pursue them.
Remember, when you have a battle with 2
armies,
winning a battle is not not where the
victory lies.
Because what happens is that if one
army is getting beaten and they retreat to
a place of safety,
then they can attack again tomorrow.
It's not really that big of a deal
just to get defeated in one battle. The
actual victory in a war happens when you
hand the enemy army into a place where
they cannot run away, and they just keep
getting hacked down. Once you wipe out their
army, there's nobody left to oppose you anymore.
So this is part part of the order
of the Sahaba
is that despite the complete chaos that happened
inside of their ranks, they were able to
retreat up the mountain to and inflict enough
harm on the mushrikeen
that, despite them being a third of the
size of their army or or even less,
they retreated to such a point where the
mushrike didn't have it in them to chase
them
because they knew that they're gonna fight back
really hard and they they just gave up.
So when they got to that point
where the army of the mushrikeen is lower
on the mountain,
the army of of of the the the
Sahaba radiya will be higher up and
and the mushrikeen give up, give up the,
the himma, the courage to be able to
pursue them.
And they say, okay, fine, you guys got
away.
Abu Sufyan yells at at the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and yells at the Muslims.
And he says, what? He says he says,
one day for us and one day for
you.
You have the day of weather and we
have the day of uhab.
Uhud.
This is one thing. Right? People think that
piety is just being
just slap me again. No. Do it again.
This is not
that's not when I read the stories of
Sahaba radiAllahu anhu, that's not what I see.
It's fine. If you're in a position of
weakness and you cannot do anything, there's a
sunnah for you as well.
And to bear your difficulties with patience, there's
a great khal in it. But it doesn't
mean you're going to make a fool out
of yourself for no reason.
Rasool Allahu alaihi wa sallam didn't come here
just to get beat up and then inspire
a generation of, like, Indian Pakistani kids to
get beat up and Somali kids to get
beat up. That's not what he came for.
He came so that we're saved on the
day of judgment, all of us, where no
matter who we are, where we're from, what
race we belong to, or, what country we
come from.
So what happens is this man, he just
said that we're even.
How can anyone be even with the messenger
of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and the
Sahaba radiAllahu alaihi wa sallam? They're literally on
the top of mountain and the mushrike are
on the bottom.
And so Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
who is himself, he lost a tooth.
Imagine that he lost a tooth in battle
and he's fighting to make sure that blood
doesn't hit the ground out of fear that
if, it hits the ground, the adab of
Allah ta'ala will come down.
And he's injured. And the Sahab are injured.
Many of them have have have, defended Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with their own body and
with their own life.
So many of the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu were
shaheed on that day.
What does he what does he he do
in this,
situation of of of of pain and in
the situation of hurt?
He he's not gonna let that. He's not
gonna let Abu Sufyan, like, talk smack and
just let it go. So what did he
do? He points to Omar al Khattab.
Answer him.
He didn't even tell him what to say.
He just says, this guy answered, shut him
up.
So he said, what?
He said he said he said that,
your your dead
are in Jahannam.
Our dead are in paradise.
How could that ever be even?
You still lose.
And it infuriated them.
Why? Because the the haqq speaks on the
tongue of
So many so many incidences like this so
many incidences like this. This shows the deep
level of ghayr of
for the prophet
for Islam.
There are certain incidents, in fact, in which
the of the prophet
the Umar Ibn Khattab for the prophet
it almost overpowers his his,
his his, like, normalcy. Like, it becomes to
the point where a person thinks that this
is not normal anymore.
What happens is Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, he sees in a dream that him
and his companions are making umrah. And this
is in the middle of being at war
with the mushrike of Quresh. So he takes
them, he takes them and says,
that we're going to make umrah. Put put
on your Ihram with me from Zulul Halifa.
Zul Halifa is just on the outskirts of
Madinah Manawara.
And we're going to go in Iran.
Leave your weapons and your arms at home.
Bring your sacrificial animals with you. We're going
to make umrah of the house of
So they get to a point just outside
of, Makkah Mukarama, just outside of the Haram,
the sacred boundary that surrounds Makkah Mukarama.
And they they,
they
they stop there, and
Khabibinwaleed brings, like, a detachment of forces. He
said stop right there. Don't go any further.
We don't wanna kill you because you're in
Haram.
They tried to provoke the Muslims into fighting
so that they could kill them because they
knew they're unarmed so that they have an
excuse because they look bad in front of
the Arabs that look, they killed these people
who are going to visit the Kaaba.
But they were unable to. So they were
told to stop right there, let's deal with
this, let's talk talk this out. So Suheil
bin Amer, who hadn't become a Muslim yet,
he's a negotiator,
and,
general, like, smart guy of the Quraysh Mashallah,
a very intelligent person. He's the kathib of
Quraysh. He was known to be the more
most eloquent of their orators. He comes and
they they they, negotiate a deal. What are
we gonna do?
And what happens is,
look at the khaira, the Sahaba in general,
radiAllahu anhu, khaira leave. Then something happens, the
incident happens and say, Naliyah, I'll leave it
for,
for, I said, Molana Tamim to mention, and
then an an incident happens with regards to
the Bayatul Ridwan. There's a time that the
the negotiators go back to Makkah Mukarama, and
they don't they would say, Na'uthman
when they don't show up for a very
long time. And the messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
he takes the oath of allegiance from his
companions that if these guys come back with
the army to kill us, that we'll all
be together. We're gonna go down together to
the end.
Right? This ship of Islam.
Right? The the best people on it are
who?
They're not the ones who look for the
life jacket. They're the ones who dream of
drowning.
Right? So they all take the oath of
allegiance of saying if man is not there.
Will tell you what happens with him and
what his,
his part of that that bayah of that
oath of allegiance is.
When the,
when the
the the the truce is signed and it
said that they're not going to make,
they're not going to make Umrah from that
year.
He
said,
he's like, you cannot deal with it. He's
like, Arasulullah, you said we're going to you
said we're going to make umrah. Rasulullah
said that you use your dream in suwahi.
And, Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told him,
like, but I didn't say this year.
We'll do it. It'll happen still. But it
I didn't see you know, it must not
have been intended for this for this, particular
year.
Now,
on the surface of it, it seems that
he's not accepting what the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said.
But what's the reality?
He accepted what the prophet
said
so completely. He couldn't process like that it
would even change.
There was an assumption on his part that
the dream was about that year and the
assumption was faulty.
It wasn't correct.
The sahaba radiAllahu alaihi wa'am aren't prophets that
they, you know, they never make mistakes and
things like that.
But his even his issue, quote unquote, in
this,
in this situation was what?
Was because he believed in what Rasulullah SAWS
said so much, it was difficult for him
to process anything otherwise.
This same thing happens when
the same thing happens when Rasool
eventually he'll pass away,
which is what? Sayin' Omar Ibn Khattab he
cannot he cannot he cannot accept it,
that the Messenger of Allah SAW Allahahu Alaihi
Wasallam passed away.
He took his sword out and he threatened
anybody who said that the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam died. He said he went to his
Lord,
like Musa alaihi wasallam and he'll be back.
The only person who could get him under
control was who? Like was mentioned yesterday, is
Sinai Abu Bakr Siddiq
Now lest a person thinks that this is
a fault of his, essentially what happened is
his love of the Prophet
exceeded his
even capacity for to control himself.
That's not a bad thing.
That's a good thing.
It's something that you and I can't even
relate to.
Saidna Abu Bakr Sadiq after
after that happened,
Saidna Abu Bakr Siddiq brought him back
by reading the verses that were mentioned yesterday
in, the in the darsen. I think Sheikh
Khalid mentioned them again today. Right?
After that, Sayyidina Abu Khattab became the right
hand man of Sayyidina Abu Bakr Sadiq radiAllahu
anhu.
And even then, he never stopped learning. Imagine
this, that when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
passes away
and
there are people who
first, there's 3 threats to the Muslims, right?
The first threat is the Romans.
The second threat is who?
Those people who left Islam.
And the 3rd threat is what? Those people
say, oh, we're still Muslim, but we're not
in a place we're not in a place
that got that injured.
Just let me know. I'm gonna drink green
tea till you guys are good.
Do you try the I'll try the why
not? Of
So what what happens is that,
what happens is what
I mean, this is part of a little
bit of, like,
backtracking
the Mona Musa's talk.
But imagine, right, from a political point of
view,
which of the 3 threats are the the,
which of the 3 threats are the the
greatest and which one is the lightest.
One would think, yeah, okay. They're at least
they're still praying stuff. They're not paying zakat.
But, like, it's not like they said we're
not Muslims anymore. We're gonna worship idols and
things like that. Right?
Say it now.
He he gave the fatwa of what? That
we're going to
we're going to fight them even if they
withhold the
the the the leathers the strap of the
of the sandal
that they used to pay to the messenger
of Allah, and they they refused to pay
it now that he's gone. We're gonna we're
gonna take it from them. If they don't
give it voluntarily, we're gonna fight them for
What does that even what does that even
mean that's something to talk about? Anyway, it's
not properly the subject of my bad.
But
say it's Omar alayhi wa wanhu and the
mashra, this is, you know, remember we talked
about the sunnah of mashra, that you should
consult with one another. Consultation
means that every person, when they're asked their
opinions, they should give what the real opinion
is, not just what people think people wanna
hear them say.
Give your opinion if it's not popular, that's
fine.
This is not
like a session of, like, pumping up each
other's self esteem. Right? If 10 people give
their mushroom and think, I think it's a
good idea, and you think it's not a
good idea,
When asked your opinion, you should say, I
don't think it's a good idea for this
and that reason. Maybe nobody else says it's
not a bad. Right? So Saldanha radiAllahu alayhi
wa'am, who gave his machra,
honestly,
he said that how can we fight them
when they say the ilaha illallah?
And he's chastised by Sayid Nambu Bakr, radiya
allahu Hanukkah, radiya allahu Hanukkah,
Umar, are you a tyrant in Jahibia, a
tough guy in Jahibia and become a coward
in Islam?
And said, no. Omar alayhi wa wanhu, what
is his
virtue in this matter?
Something Mawana Musa started his ba'an with, which
is what? If you don't learn how to
follow, how are you gonna ever be a
leader?
The other, like, shaitan model of leadership where,
like, yeah, I don't wanna follow any orders
and I wanna do everything my way, the
Burger King model of Naf's leadership.
That's not how it works in Islam.
What did Sinha Omar alayalam Anhudu? Once the
decision was made, not not only did he
get behind it and say, we're gonna agree
to disagree. He submitted to it.
To be able to see somebody else's better
than you,
That's even harder. If you're like the least
learned, then you can say, everybody knows. I
don't know anything. I'm just gonna follow. But
when you get to that, that high level,
it's very difficult for a person to control
on their own nafs.
What did he do? He could have said,
you know, don't you know that messenger of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
if there was a nabi after me, it
would have been Omar? He could have said
that.
It's true, in fact.
But he didn't.
This is a sign that what? That his,
like, control over his own nafs was, like,
reached a level of perfection that most people
will never even be able to dream of
or imagine.
So he served Abu Bakr Siddiq radiAllahu ta'ala
Anhu for the rest of his life.
And then after when Abu Bakr Siddiq is
dying, he said that this Omar is your
going to be your Khalifa afterward. Said Abu
Bakr, Omar who is like, yes. And getting
out the nice turban and whatever and no.
He he himself is not afraid. It all
happened so quickly.
So when the news comes that said, Abu
Bakr Siddiq
passes away and leaves in the Masjid, and
immediately all the people come to take the
oath
of allegiance from him,
what happened?
The life drained out of his face. He
looked like he was, like, he was, like,
afraid.
He looked like he was, like, dying.
And he stepped forward and he said, I
heard the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam say. This is very important. All of
you remember, even you, Yousef, remember this. Okay?
He said, I heard the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say, whoever seeks this
affair, meaning whoever seeks leadership,
Allah will humiliate him through it.
If you wanna be leader and you work
hard to become leader, look at the guy
who worked hard to be leader. He's like
completely revived the comedy industry in this country.
Right? It's not just him. It's every generation.
If you seek to if you seek to
if you see whoever seeks this affair, meaning
whoever seeks leadership,
Allah will humiliate him in it.
And whoever this affair, this leadership is thrust
on his shoulders, meaning he receives it without
wanting it, but it just happens that that
that by circumstance, it happens that that person
becomes leader,
then Allah will aid him in it. Allah
will aid him in it. And so you
remember something Sheikh Waleed said earlier,
that
Sayna Abu Bakr Siddiq was 2 years younger
than the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. So Raik Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam passed away at the age of
63. Said Abu Bakr
will fulfill those 2 years and then he'll
pass away.
Just like that was the silafa of Sin
Abu Bakr Sin Nama radiallahu
ta'ala.
That he has now 11 years until what?
11 years or 10 years until what? Until
he reaches the age that the messenger of
Allah sama was gonna pass away.
And those are the years of his. Hilaha,
those are the years of his
his rule. And what does he do? He
organizes everything wonderfully.
He's the first one. He brings a diwan.
He appoints his son,
Abdullah bin Omar
to be what? To be the official secretary
of the state.
Keep meticulous records about everything.
When you run an organization,
it's good that you trust each other. Everyone
has to keep records and give, account of
what what's happening with money, with responsibility.
And he used to check up on everyone
all the time. He didn't use to just
why? Because Amana, it's a,
a trust from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
he knew because he's on the top, everything
that that happens lower than him, that that
that happens wrong or that's a zuma on
somebody, he's gonna be held responsible for it.
It's attributed to him that he said, I
fear that a goat will trip over Iraq
on the other side of the Euphrates. Euphrates
is a river in Iraq.
That from Medina Manohar, I said, I fear
that a goat will trip over a rock
on the other side of the Euphrates, and
Allah will ask me about it.
So he used to have meticulous records about
everybody.
How much money they're given and stipend, how
much they're paid, who's doing this, who's doing
that, the governor, what did you do today,
what did you do the next day, what
did you do the day after.
All the written records had to keep coming
back and forth from the army and from
the field.
And his way of ruling was very interesting.
One would think because in the beginning, he
was so harsh in
his in
his early days of Islam,
that he was marched when he would rule,
and he's completely the opposite.
It's well known that Saidna Khalid bin Walid
radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, who was
Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said he's
the sword of Allah ta'ala,
never lost in battle once.
It's well known that Sinhaqalib
radiAllahu anhu,
He, pulled his command from people
say it's because they had some sort of
personal beef, and that's not true at all.
That's nonsense. People who'd been through all of
that together, they're not gonna have beef with
one another. They loved each other for the
sake of Allah. Like, Moana, Timmy, very,
wonderfully said, even if they did agree with
each other on certain things, which they did,
it was, like inside the family thing. It
wasn't something from the outside.
Who pulled him from command. What type of
people did he used to put in command
in his place?
Right? He preferred as a commander, Amr bin
Aswari alayalam anhu who was mentioned earlier in
the day.
Why? Because Ammer bin Aswadi al Anhu used
to win battles without having to fight.
He would win battles through tricking people. He
would win battles through intimidation. He would win
battles through diplomatic means.
There was there was so many times where
he
made the Muslim army look so much bigger
than it was, and like entire cities in
Egypt surrendered to him because they're afraid of
fighting.
Said the Amr Abu Khatab
in fact preferred that the conquest happen without
fighting and without bloodshed.
It's said whenever a major battle happened,
he would pace
back and forth in the in the gate
of Madinah Munawara
that faces the the land in which the
battle happened, waiting for the news of what
happened to the Muslims.
And the first thing he would ask, the
bashir would come back with the the glad
tidings, the herald of the glad tidings of
victory.
And said, say, Nur murmur Khattab, the first
thing he would ask is who who gave
their life in the path of Allah ta'ala.
This is how you can tell somebody what's
the difference between somebody who's a good leader
and someone who's callous,
who who thinks they're better than everybody else.
Said, Dawr al Khattabi, you'll ask who gave
their who lost life in the path of
Allah ta'ala. And then it says,
So and so was shahid in the path
of Allah, son and so son of so
and so, son of so and so, son
of so and so, son of so and
so, and
a great number of people that Amir Abu
Bineen doesn't know who they are.
Said, Omar alayhi wa Muhammad, who used to
weep when he heard that, news of someone
giving their life in the path of Allah
ta'ala. He wasn't the guy that buck up,
he's fisa b'illahi, you're going to Jannah, man,
where he goes back and has dinner with
his wife and kids.
He used to feel their pain. We don't
feel each other's pain anymore.
We feel the pain if we watch, like,
a, a TV show or, like, a movie.
We'll feel the pain of, like, some fake
character, and we'll cry for them. But when
it comes to our own family members, when
it comes to our own people, when it
comes to Burma, when it comes to
Syria, comes to,
all of these Somalia,
Central African Republic, Iraq, all of these different
places. We don't Yemen. We don't feel the
pain for for for those people. We don't
shed a tear for those people because they
look like to us like animals. Like they're
not even worthy of our our sympathy. Said,
Omar Khattab used to like the messenger of
Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he used to
go personally and console the families of those
people who lost
someone in the path of Allah, he would
weep.
He would make sure that those people that
that whose loved ones were out of the
path
Allah, he used to make sure that they're
taken care of. Anyone ever wonder why, the
big jamat goes off for 4 months?
Is just a because that's what they see
people do.
The reason is what? The reason to say,
no more of fatab, radiAllahu, and he went
and asked the the the wives of the
people, the soldiers who are out of the
path of Allah Ta'ala,
that your this your husband,
he's gone out of the path of Allah
Ta'ala,
how long is it how long can you
take being away from them without, like, life
just becoming abject misery?
And so he asked from the different,
the women and from the different soldiers, etcetera,
etcetera, and he came with this number of
4 months that he had a rule in
his
in his,
in his, government that no soldier should be
out in the field without being able to
come back and see his family for more
than 4 months.
That's what it's from, it's from our aslaf,
it's not something that's from, you know, the
whatever someone made up in Ragland or whatever.
Right?
What is there's so many practices. There's so
many practices of the deen that were set
up by said, not more than Khattabullah or
the who like that. And the ba'an has
become long, so I want to, like, spare
you, but this is an example of, like,
so many of those things. You should learn
about those things. You should appreciate the hikmah.
What's another practice?
When the Sahaba
would conquer a city,
what would they do? Would they let the
Muslim army enter into the city? No. Then
they overpower them, and they kill people, and
they take their stuff, and whatever, or some
soldier recklessly, like, will do something bad with
a woman or will,
you know, these things, they they happen. People
get into fights. It's not like you're gonna
call a body now because it's the middle
of a fight. No one will be able
to prove that somebody did anything
wrong to anybody in that. And those people
will get off scot free. What
was his policy?
His policy is that the conquering army is
not allowed to enter into the into the
cities that they they conquer.
In the ancient world, that's what used to
happen.
When one army conquered a city, it's expected.
Women are going to be raped, things are
going to be stolen, people are going to
be killed, things are going to be burned
down, people are going to be humiliated and
beaten. It's just the way it is. That's
what the Romans did, that's what the Persians
did, that's what the Greeks did, that's what
Chinese did, that's what Indians did, that's what
everybody did. That's not what the Ashabah, the
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam did.
Mada'in, the imperial Persian capital, was across the
river.
The Sahaba had to set up camp on
the other side of the river, that's where
Kufa is.
Kufa rapidly becomes the biggest city in the
Muslim world during the time of the raid
of Sinai Uthman, Sinai
The same thing. Have you ever wondered in
Egypt?
Right? Who here has been to Cairo? Shekhulid's
gone now. But who here has been to
Cairo before? Right? You've been to Cairo. Are
the pyramids on the same side as Cairo
of of the Nile or on the other
side? It's on the other side. The city
of Memphis, right, not Memphis, Tennessee. We're not
talking about Elvis right now. Right? The ancient
Egyptian city of Memphis,
it's on the other side of the river
in what they call Giza.
The Fustat, which was the original Muslim settlement
in Cairo, it's on what?
It's on the other side of the river,
so that the Muslim army doesn't have a
chance to go and dust it up and
make a fight with the locals so that
people can say, look, these Muslims are just
as bad as everybody else. They *. They
pillage. They loot. They do all of these
things. It's what it's good policy.
It's why Islam still has this.
One of the greatest one of the greatest,
triumphs of,
of Saddam Hussein is what?
Is that during his reign, Damascus falls, it
comes to the Muslims,
largely because of the collaboration of the citizens
of Damascus with the Muslim army to unseat
the Roman garrison, because they knew that the
Muslims will be fair with them. The Romans
weren't fair.
Greater honor than even Damascus as well. Al
Tusa Sharif, the keys to the city of
Jerusalem are surrendered to the Muslims by the
Christian patriarch of Jerusalem.
And he gave he made a condition that
we'll give up the holy city without a
fight.
But the surrender has to be accepted in
person by Sayid Omar Ibn Khattab. Sayid Omar
Ibn Khattab in Istawadbar,
right, in his in his humility,
he made the journey on, the back of
a donkey
from Madinah Munawah
to the sacred city of Jerusalem.
Riding what?
Riding a donkey. What does that even mean?
If you read the scripture, if you read
Isaiah, and you read the
books of the old testament,
these are the descriptions of the Messiah. You
know that?
That he's not a man who rides a
camel or a horse,
because that's what kings and like, tyrants and
warriors ride.
Rather, the messiah is going to be someone
who's humble.
He had a servant boy with him. They
used to take turns who rides the donkey
one day and who walks the other day.
It turned out it was the turn of
the the servant to ride the donkey the
day that he may reaches the gates of
the sacred city of Al Quds of Sharif.
So the gates of the sacred city of
Al Quds of Sharif.
And they think that the servant is the,
the Amirul Menin and it's not. Into the
Church of the Holy Sephir.
And when it's time for salat Sid Omar
alaihi wa wanhu, he's what. They gave him
a place to pray in the church. He
said, don't give me this place right now
because what? I'm afraid the people after me,
they're going to turn into a masjid, and
then you're going to complain, look, the Muslims,
they violated the truths of our or the
terms of our treaty.
So he went and prayed outside of the
church in a place. There's still, you know,
there's a must go right now. It's in
the middle of the Christian quarter. It's right
across from the church of the holy right
now.
But what this was his concern and his
foresight, and it's a miraculous
foresight that he had because of what which
the honor of the visit of Islam is
still is still protected, that no one can
say that. The the companions of Muhammad
tyrants, or they were they were, zalimin, they
were people who oppressed
others.
After conducting and finishing the accepting of the
city, this is something every Muslim should know,
by the way. Every Muslim should know this,
you should share this information with the public.
The Romans who had sacked the sacred city
of Jerusalem
under the command of the general Septimius Severus,
who
and it was destroyed block block by block,
stone by stone.
The same lineage of Roman emperors in 325,
the emperor,
Constantine will accept Christianity,
and they still left the the the Mas'id
al Aqsa in ruins.
Not only that, they used to actually throw
their garbage there. They made it into the
landfill of the sacred city of Jerusalem.
Right? Ibn Kathir,
Rahimu Huwala Ta'ala, there's a saying attributed to
him that if the people tell you that
the Romans became Christians, don't believe them.
And if the people tell you that the
Christians became Romans, believe them.
What happened? They became Christians quote unquote, but
they're still doing the Khabis,
mushikin
sunnah of their forefathers, which was what?
Debasing, defiling the sacred temple in Masl al
Aqsa.
That was something that said that Isa didn't
do. If you read the new testament, he
was so upset that even the coins that
have the pictures of the pagan gods and
the Roman emperors, that those coins were even
allowed for sadaqa inside of the inside of
the the the courtyard of the
of the of the of the Muslim Aqsa.
That he overturned it through the tables over
that they were transacting and usury with those
things in that in that sacred place. If
you believe you follow sayna Isa alaihis salam,
then I'm not blaming the the the sins
of the Romans on you, but you should
admit admit that those people didn't represent Sayyidina
Isa alayhis salam, the ones that,
that you attribute your the power and the
mind of your deen to.
So Sayyidina, Omar Ibn Khattab, he just
negotiated a priest treaty with these people.
He was very upset. He was very angry.
He rolled up his own sleeves, rasooliwa ta'ala,
anhu. And he when he found out this,
he went straight to the Masil al Aqsa,
rolled up his own sleeves, and he started
to clean the place up, and the Muslims
followed afterward, and they cleaned it after him.
They rebuilt it and they reconsecrated it.
And said, the Amr ibn Khattab radiAllahu anhu
even made mushrooms, Kaab al Akbar, who was
a rabbi of the Jews who accepted Islam,
how to set everything up.
And since that day until this day, by
Allah with
only one interruption, it was the interruption of
the defiling of the Crusaders who came and
shed blood in that place. This
the the the sacredness of that place has
been kept from that day until this day.
The only exception is that the crusaders came
in and shed blood in the that holy
place, and they brought their horses and made
a stable out of the Mas'il Aqsa, which
is what the sunnah of their forefathers, the
Romans.
They defiled that place, but other than that,
the Muslims are the ones who kept the
sanctity of that place for 1400 years. Not
the Christians, even though they had several centuries
of occupation of that place, nor the yahoo.
This is an honor Allah gave our own.
And this is an honor that was vowed
to say to the hands of Sida, Amar
Abu Khattab
So many so many stories about how he
ran the the government with so much efficiency,
so many stories of how he,
was the one who who implemented the sunnah
of the prophet
in practicality. Remember we said that their maqam
is higher than
ichtihad and lower than tashariyah.
They're not making the shariyah themselves,
but nor are they like the regular people
of Istihan from the ulama.
They are in a place somewhere in the
middle.
That form of the salatul Tawawi comes from
Sayna,
So many so many things come from Sayna,
Amrbul Khattab
to wrap it up.
In the last year of his life, may
Allah be pleased with him, he made special
ikhtimam. This is one of the things Sayna
Omar Ibn Khattab. Remember, he's muhaddaf.
He feels what's gonna happen in the future.
He used to make dua to Allah ta'ala
yalla.
Let me die a a shahid, and let
me die in the city of your prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
He took the the last year of Hajj,
he took the umaha to meaning all of
them, that they should all make Hajj again
as their patron.
And when he came back, he had an
idea. This is the end time for him.
One morning, Abu Lulu, the,
the the Persian slave
of,
he had a dispute with his,
master over what?
Over, work that he would do in his
free time, that he felt that he should
he had a deal with his master that
you can take free time and do work
for other people, and will split
the the the the money that that you
earn. And he felt like his master is
taking too much money. He said, Nama radiallahu
alaihi wa maha said what? He
said,
you know, I can't do anything because it's
if he wants to, he can just forbid
you from working outside anyway. That's his right.
Remember, those people were made into slings because
they fought against the Muslims.
Abu Lulu was,
an engineer.
He was an engineer in the Persian army,
and he knew how to make windmills, how
to harness the wind in order
to to do mechanical work. And so Saeed
Nama radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu,
he says to Abu Luh he says, I've
tried to console him, trying to make him
feel better. Right? Even though he's a he
should have been executed, he should have died
in battle for fighting the Muslims, for
fighting. Said Narmer
who tries to make him feel better. He
says what? He says,
one day, I'll have I'll ask you come
make a windmill for me as well. And
so Oulu responds to him. He says, I'll
make a windmill for you that history won't
forget.
And, when he left,
the his, you know, said Amr alayalam who's,
people who are sitting with him, they said,
oh, masha'allah. You know, like, you made him
feel better. He says, no. This man is
is he's that was a threat what he
just said to me.
And so what happens is one morning at
Fajr time, Abu Lu'nu had a knife poison,
And in the darkness of Fajr, remember he
said there's no lights. Right? In the darkness
of Fajr, he went and stabbed Sayid Omar
alaihi wa manhu repeatedly, and he stabbed a
number of, believers.
Many of them died.
Sidnaumar alayhi wa'anhu, when he realized what happened,
his first,
response is to make sure the blood doesn't
hit the floor because it's najas in the
masjid. So it shouldn't it shouldn't defile the
masjid of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So they carry him out and then he
asked who did that to me?
And they said it was Abu Lutlu.
They caught him and they they they told
him it was Abu Lutlu, the Zoroastrian slave.
And said, Namr al Khattar, radiAllahu, thanked
Allah that there was no believer who had
caused to be so angry with him that
he would do that with.
That at least, masha Allah, I didn't
harm or offend anyone who says
that they would harbor such a hatred inside
their heart from you.
He was a strong man so he didn't
die right away. So they were trying to
nurse him back to health. He drank a
bowl of milk,
and they knew that he's not gonna make
it. When he drank the milk, the milk
was coming out of his wounds.
And so he asked his son to go
and,
asked his son to go and talk to
say the Aisha, radiAllahu ta'ala, anha,
and said that your hujrah,
your room is the one in which Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and Abu Bakr Sallif are
buried in.
It's your room. I ask you not as
a mirror of Mineen,
but just just as Omar.
That do give me permission that I can
be buried next to the 2 people
I
love
the
most. And say that I wish I would
be pleased with her.
She said that
I always wished that I was the one
that should be buried next to them.
But I know how much you love them
and how much they loved you,
so I give my my place to you.
Said, the
woman who looked at his justice as well,
that he told his son, Abdullah, after I'm
dead,
then ask her again. In case she changed
her mind, she was just saying it under
pressure at this time.
And he asked again,
and she still gave permission.
She used to visit Rasulullah salallahu alaihi salallam,
her husband,
that she lost when she was only 18
years old. She used to visit him. And
when she was in the huja shanifa,
she would not observe hijab because it was
him
And then after her word, her father is
buried in the same room, and she didn't
observe hijab in that room. When Sayna Murmu
Khattab radhiallahu anhu was buried there, she used
to observe hijab in that room.
When he was dying,
he appointed a committee of 6 people.
Sayna
Uthman
That the 6 of you sit and make
mashra, and the next Amir al Mu'min should
be one of you 6,
whoever you all agree upon after I leave.
This is my son,
Abdullah bin Omar.
He should sit in your mashua
because he why? Because he kept the records.
Right? Sometimes you need to have data so
you can know how many armies are in
this province, how many armies are in that
province,
you know, how much money comes from the,
from the to the exchequer from the income
of this place or from that place. You
need to know those things to make a
decision properly.
So he says, but under no circumstances is
he to be made,
a Khalifa after me.
Sayna
said,
in his anger, he said, bar this person
from entering my room
until
I'm gone from this world. I don't want
to see him again.
Who passed away, and then
the the process by which they so let's
say, I'll leave that to
Molana
Bilal radiAllahu on who to explain what that
was, but that was how he
left this dunya.
He left this duniya himself in the
in the most in the most beautiful state
of humility
and softness with every single one of the
believers.
And he gave his life for the sake
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
utter a complaint against anybody. And because of
that, he's buried in the Hujar of Abu
Bakr with Rasulullah
alaihi wa sallam. This day, no one can
say salaam to the messenger of Allah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam except for that he has to
say salaam to him.
I know my time has gone on. Mawana
Faraz is, like, you know, he's gonna he's
gonna, like, whatever, assassinate me also in the
masjid. And I can't help but bleed on
the carpet, so it's not my fault though.
But there's just a couple of things that
I wanted to mention
after this, which is who is his progeny?
Because you know people from who their progeny
was.
Abdullah ibn Khur
is one of the people who narrates the
most hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, and he's one of those people who
he loved the sunnah of the Prophet
and didn't care whether he understood it or
didn't.
Rather, everything he saw Rasulullah
doing, he would himself do.
And many hadith about certain things about the
prayer and other things that that nobody else
narrates, he's the one he narrates them from
rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
He lived for a long time. There's a
lot of weird things that the Sahaba
had to see after the Khalafar Rashidun passed
away and the tyrants of Banu Umayyah take
over. Not Sayyidun Muawiya but Yazidun after him.
His masalaq was what? Under no circumstance should
any Muslim ever fight against any other Muslim.
During the Waka'atul Jammal, in which the army
of Sayna Ali radiwa aman Ansar fought against
the army of Sayna Aisha radiwa ta'ala Anha
and
Talha and Zubair.
The battle wasn't started by them. The battle
was started by Munafatim.
Neither of them gave the command to fight
each other. Their armies met so that they
could negotiate.
Even in that in that battle, Sidahafsa, it
was well known that Hafsa, the daughter of
Sayid Omar al Fattah
and the mother of the believers, the wife
of the prophet Hafsa and Aisha, the 2
of them were best friends.
During the life of Rasulullah
and afterward as well. Hafsa wanted to join
her friend Aisha in the battle of the
Jamel.
Right? It's called Wakatul Jammal. Jammal means camel
because there's a huge camel, like abnormally large
camel, they called it Askar, like, which means
like an army.
That they bought Rasidha Aisha
wanted to ride into that with that army
and
that
camel
that camel was hamstrung in the battle. Said
Ali who personally personally watched Sadeh
Aisha
was in the other in the in the
other in the other army.
He sat here in the Khodej in the
place of honor in the the covered
camel carrier
and escorted her personally back to Madinah Munawwara.
Now, this is something so stupid,
it it's blows my mind, how there are
modern feminist,
historians,
historians, quote unquote, that say, oh, look,
the the sahaba were progressive,
whatever the * that means. Right? The Sahaba
were progressive. Why? Because look, you can say
that Aisha is a woman. She can go
into battle. Are you out of your mind?
That was the one thing she regretted the
most in her entire life. Afterwards, she
That was the one thing she regretted the
most in her entire life.
Afterwards, she swore, oh, I'll never leave my
house again.
Don't be stupid. Just do things for the
sake of doing things.
I'm the first Muslim that like whatever,
you know,
took a swim in Lake Superior in the
middle of winter,
you're gonna get hypothermia and die, man. What's
Al Atta doesn't didn't put you here for
those type type of dumb things, identity politics,
and all this other nonsense.
Said that, Abdulazan Umar alayallahu anhu, what did
he do? He he was the the of
his sister. He He he forbade her. You
cannot go on this date.
Do you think that she,
regretted it? Or do you think that she
was proud of her brother for
His was what? That I will never bear
arms against another Muslim.
Whoever wants to be a mirror, if they
want it bad enough, go take it. I'll
never fight against another Muslim. It's something very
beautiful.
It's something extremely beautiful, and it's something that
that that history respects and that every generation
of this ummah respects. And it's something he
learned from his father, radiallahu ta'alaam, that he
wasn't a harsh man. He was literally When
he left from this, he was the softest
person in the entire ummah of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Who's another person for
the progeny of Sin Amr, radiAllahu, who is
worth recounting?
Sin Amr, radiAllahu,
he proposed marriage to Kalthum Bataali.
Who's Kalthum Bataali?
Kalthum Bataali is the full sister of Al
Hassan al Hassan al Hussain.
What just tell me why. I'm I'm just
asking why. In that time, even in this
time, it's not that uncommon for someone a
man who's much older to marry a a
woman who's younger just like Islam.
There's no haram about like someone marrying a
woman who's a couple of years older than
than than him as well. They're open minded
people with regards to those things. We have
like very Victorian era era values amongst our
community for reasons I still haven't figured out.
But at any rate, he proposed saying that
Ali didn't say no. He just said why?
He said because I heard the messenger of
the prophet Muhammad
said what? I heard the messenger of Allah
say what? That on the day of judgment,
every every lineage will cut off and not
be able to benefit 1, except for my
lineage.
And all in laws will be cut off
and not be able to benefit a person
except for my in laws.
Sena Ali said, if that's the reason then
I give her to you in nika.
The progeny of Umkhafum Bita'ali in Sennah Omar
is still alive in this Ummah until this
day. In fact, later on, after Sayna Umar
passes away,
there will be a misunderstanding between Sayna al
Hassan radhiallahu anhu and Sayna Abu Abin Umar.
Umkhafun Bint Ali is al Hassan's full sister.
She'll come to her brother al Hassan and
say she'll resolve the conflict or the argument
or the misunderstanding my
stepson. Even though he's older than me, he's
my stepson. I know him and I know
how much he loves you and how much
he shows respect for you, and nobody's looking.
What you think that he, he doesn't agree
with you, or he doesn't respect you, it's
not right. And because I've heard, the 2
of them will? What? It will it will
it will,
restore the friendship of the 2 of them
again.
Remember,
the companions of the messenger of Allah and
the family of the messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, they loved each other and
anyone who says that they fought one another,
that person themselves is like a shaitan and
munafi who's trying to create a fight where
one doesn't exist.
Don't you know,
Abu Bakr or, say, Nur Adi wahun, during
his reign, there was a drought in the
in Madinah.
So bad, crops were dead, people
were on the verge of starvation.
And so, Sendamr alayhi wa mu, he brought
everybody out of the masjid of the prophet
a second. Michel,
he's right there. Anyway, he'll explain this to
you later if you can catch him.
If you can catch him.
A normal,
lucky person gives you 3 wishes, he's gonna
tell you 3.
When it doesn't rain for a long time,
there's a special prayer for rain. It's
called
There was a drought in California,
all the Muslims got together and did the
Right? Who's like a colleague of ours. Guess
what? It rained.
Someone big time rained. It was like someone
took a screenshot of the weather report from
the day before. It's all sun the whole
the whole week through. It rained it rained
like crazy. In fact, still, Gulanataneem
has every thanksgiving like the Islahi Josa. Ever
since the drought, every Islahi Josa had rained.
It's not a joke. Even when I read
this awful, it's just when I read it
in the 5th book, I remember I was
sitting in the middle of the summer and
it do you think maybe when you get
married? He's
like,
don't don't get your hopes up, son.
So what happens since the Omar Ibn Khattab
brings the entire,
all the the the Muslims out, the believers,
out of the messengers of the prophet because
that's as soon as to pray that it's
just a without nothing between you and the
heavens.
This was the Ijtihad Usayna Umar
that when the believers formed their sufuf
to
to pray
the istuskah, right? Istuskah is like the anti
id. Eid, you're celebrating the
gifts of Allah to Allah,
And you don't wear your nicest clothes. You
wear your most worn clothes.
You bring your children with you. You bring
your livestock with you. Even the the non
muslims, they're asked to come and stand on
the side. Why? Because who knows? Maybe one
of them will become Muslim one day, or
maybe one of their children is there for
whose sake Allah is going to bring the
rain down.
All of you then you read 2 rakas,
and then it's a sunnah that the the
readah, the the shawl, right, that Rasool, the
son of the Sahaba used to wear. It
took each of them. Go get a go
get a shawl. I'm sure somebody here sells
them, right? Go get one if you don't
have one. You flip it you flip it
upside down as a sign that what? InshaAllah,
Allah will change the the situation of the
believers.
So he did the salaf al sustaal like
they used to do during the life of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. But what
was his ish shihab
He asked for saying Abbas
you know the same Abbas that he told
the prophet
to execute
some years earlier?
He said that Abbas come forward
and he made dua to Allah, Ta'ala say,
You, Ola,
this is the closest person in blood relation
to your Messenger
The messenger of Allah isn't with us. He's
the closest person in blood relation to your
messenger
by the barakah of him being with us,
bring the rain down on on the believers.
And they made us to span it rain.
Tell me something. If the Sahaba and the
family of the prophet didn't get along, why
would they do something like that?
You notice that if you go to Madinah
Manoa, there's the on the dome,
right? On the green dome. Right? You know
what the green dome is? That's directly above
the grave of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
When the people used to go to with
the people of Madina, it was their old
custom whenever they would be walking the streets
and they would see the dome. It used
to be the highest the highest building in
all of Madina at one time. You could
see it from the entire city. They used
to say a salatu al salamu alaykha Rasoolullah.
May the peace and blessing of Allah to
Allah be on you, oh messenger of Allah.
That if you look in the qibla direction
of the dome, there's like a little bit
of a mountain.
That dome was built over another dome.
That other dome is
built over the roof.
During the the the
the one of the droughts in Madinah Munawara,
during the reign of the,
during the reign of Sayid Omar Ibn Khattab,
said Aisha,
she made a suggestion that what? That you
make a small hole in the roof of
the
of the Hujram Barakah,
so that there's nothing that intervenes between
the the the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's
grave
and between the heavens.
And you'll see the the mercy and the
rahma will come down.
And so they did that, and it rained
as well.
We're talking about it's this guy in the
reign of Sanammar alayhi alahu anhu. That little
mountain in the in the, in the dome
is a place where it's like a window
that can be opened if it's it needs
to be opened, although it hasn't been opened
for quite some time.
But at any rate, this is what this
is the love of Sayna Umar alayhi wa
sallam, for the family of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, that there's still bloodline amongst
the Muslims,
which is the descendant of what? The full
sister of Al Hassan al Hussain.
The descendants of Sayna Ali and Sayna Fatima
and had the daughter of the messenger of
Allah from one side and from the other
side, Sinai.
Right? There are a number of other people
saying, and,
you know, even from our own
on the Indian subcontinent. You know, if you
wanna see the later times, where is all
the face from? It's from 2 people. It's
from and from from,
and his family. Both of them are the
descendants of
There's a lot the time has gone over.
Maybe one day we can have a program
about those as well inshallah.
Allah
give us the
the the the true love of these people
and that by the of al Marluma Ahmed
Habba, the hadith of the prophet that a
person will be with the one that that
they love, that even if we can do
any good deed right in the rest of
our life, that because we love them and
we sincerely love them and we wish that
we could be like them as much as
a person can wish in their heart and
that we would have given the we would
have the shirt off of our back just
to be able to see them once. That
Allah, because of it, forgives our sins and
changes our life for the better and gives
us some aqa'am with them forever and ever.
Jannah.
