Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome back to an episode of or Welcome to an episode of tagalong. I'm your host, because I was gonna have you with us this evening. And today or in this episode.

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

Are you familiar with?

00:00:14--> 00:00:18

Ha, Craig? Yeah, just sit on. Yeah. Yeah. So

00:00:20--> 00:00:21

for anybody who doesn't know,

00:00:23--> 00:00:32

ha, Craig is the screenwriter for the message. And so one of the other things that he had on his project was the life and story of Villanova.

00:00:34--> 00:00:53

And so, after Mr. Sokka, made the message, and it bombed at the box office, they spent 50 million, and it made back like 2 million, or two and a half million, something like that. And then he made line in the desert that made a $55 million cost and made back another two and a half million. After that, he went and made Halloween movies,

00:00:55--> 00:01:18

which did financially like put them back on the map. And then he was working on salahaddin. But then there was a terrorist attack, I think in like Syria, where he was at the hotel, and him and his daughter died in there. So but outside of that, the this book is actually pretty fascinating. Pretty cool, though, the way he writes it, he tells it from the perspective of without speaking English.

00:01:19--> 00:01:33

And, but he's like, retelling his life story. And he goes from it goes from there. But the thing that I was wondering about and one of the things that you mentioned before, is how

00:01:35--> 00:01:45

the the rise of Abu Bakar another one of the key moments in the seminar, and the story that you'll be presenting is the opening of Jerusalem. Right? And how

00:01:46--> 00:01:50

it was there, that they

00:01:51--> 00:01:56

asked a bit of ANOVA to give the right, right, so tell us that story.

00:01:57--> 00:02:35

Yes, the key part of this. So I'll give a summary because, given a brace diversity, I can't ruin it for you guys. Because I really want you to experience that entire thing is very, very powerful. But as you all know, but out of all, the Alon who was someone that was with the prophets, I said him from the entire profit for the most part. Yeah, he saw the prophets. I said them even probably before that, and he witnessed who he was as a person. What's interesting is a lot of people say that he was Abyssinian. But he was born in Mecca. Right? But there's a longer story of what made him that he was from OC heritage. Yes, he was, like, kind of like, our second generation immigrant, people of

00:02:35--> 00:03:16

Arab and DC descent, or they're mostly born here, right. But they have a heritage. Exactly. And that's something actually interesting that you brought back, which is a key kind of theme in this entire class, is what is our heritage? Yeah, what is what we connect back to? Okay. So is it identity to your ethnicity? So that's a good, that's a good point that we can kind of get back to it, and what is our legacy and what we should reconnect to make us stronger? With what we identify with? So, you know, below the line was that figure that pretty much understood what Islam was at the get go? Based on the true

00:03:17--> 00:03:54

persona of the prophets, I said that he was so genuine. And that when immediately when he saw that, he recognized that, and he it followed him all the way until being with the prophets, I sent him until his passing, okay, there's lots of stuff. And I want you to just just just take this one thing, if you were that close to somebody, yeah, it would absolutely like, what I can imagine, it would be devastating. That's what I was gonna say. And, but at the same time, one thing I find interesting is the closeness to the prophets I said along Sunday, but at the same time, it was abubaker said dico freedom, right. So I would add on and maybe this is something that I might have

00:03:54--> 00:04:14

missed, but I would have feel as though one's loyalty would be more. And I think that was the culture at the time, right, is that albeit somebody freed you, you would still be loyal to them? Right? So the question, it almost seemed like he didn't have the same level of loyalty to a Booker said this

00:04:15--> 00:04:38

in, in that traditional sense, or am I missing that? No. I mean, one thing that you did say very, very well, is that that loyalty that was in that time period in the world was a complete sense of loyalty, where it's almost as if you owed them for everything. Yeah, it was almost, and this is called a wilaya. Yeah, at that time, that that's something existed from before Islam. Yeah, actually, to largely sense according to Noam Chomsky exists now.

00:04:39--> 00:04:59

In the sense of when when when people kind of economically enslave countries Yeah. With what with ridiculous amount of loans and make them under the World Bank. Yeah, especially in politics, but the point being is that kind of syllable economics. Exactly. So that's what happens. And when people feel like you're owed or you owe something to

00:05:00--> 00:05:37

Somebody Yeah. In Islam It was not the case. Okay, so when Bill out on the lawn No, you know, obviously was devastated by the prophets license laws, you have to understand that one of the most beautiful things about Islam is it doesn't have rulings on your feelings, okay? It doesn't control your emotions. It doesn't say how you need to feel how you should feel there's no fatwah on because you can't you're feeling like and I think this is a people that you shouldn't feel that way. Exactly like Why not? Right? Like, this is how I feel Why are you going to be judging me on so how your emotional, you know, state etc. It's not something that is something to kind of like a dominant you

00:05:37--> 00:05:45

know, and to direct you in but rather to control him to give you a sense of guys you in your in the minute

00:05:47--> 00:06:06

in terms of how you should behave within or despite that feeling. Right. The what are the actions that will come out of from those emotions? Yeah, because that's what you're responsible for. So a lot of the London when the process was passed away, Paddy Sato sand passes away. It devastates them to the point that he cannot

00:06:07--> 00:06:44

call the prayer anymore. Okay. And that is because he would, he said, I can't not picture the prophesizing coming out of his home and I see is less than face I suppose set up. Yeah. And it can it moves me to the point that I can't even give the event anymore. And he tried, okay. When the person passed away, he comes in, he can't finish the event. It's just that spirit, like emotionally overwhelming. Okay, so what he decides is he's going to go serve the Muslims, where he believes will be better for him. Okay, so he just has to leave Medina. So he resigns from being the official mod than Edina. And he goes where he goes to Syria. Okay. And what's happening in Syria, and Syria is

00:06:44--> 00:07:26

like the edges of the Muslim, I guess you could say Empire at that time. It didn't, it didn't belong to the Muslims at that time. Okay. And so he had it was belong to the Byzantium Roman. Okay, so was he, what was a trader? He did his business, okay, kind of lived about his life and interacting with a society because you don't hear much about him right there. Be after the death of the process is also until the conquest or the opening of Jerusalem, right, which is like, what, eight years later? Yeah, approximately, approximately, almost a decade. It was about roughly about five years. Okay. Five years. Yeah. Okay. So five years later, so in those five years, right, what did he do? Yeah,

00:07:26--> 00:07:49

yeah, I mean, we're gonna talk a little bit in detail of that, okay, as you're gonna see the perspective without on the line, so I'm not going to give you too much. But what he does is he he in he engrosses himself in a society to kind of, you know, teach people what the prophets lesson taught him, but in a society which was not Muslim at that time. Okay, so he lived, you know, in this in this particular environment, and as he was leaving

00:07:51--> 00:08:14

the Londo, obviously because he's such an attachment to be loud. Okay, right. He tells him a lot please don't leave us Hmm. And below the line he says, If you freed me for the sake of Allah, then let me go. But if you freed me for the sake of yourself, then I'll listen to you as a leader as the now the Emperor Muslim Cuddy for the Caliph. Okay. And I will block out all the Ilana said that

00:08:15--> 00:08:54

and get out of the Londo as he's walking away. It hurts I work all the time, because it's probably one of the final times he ever sees me dad. Oh, okay. And then you know, we're gonna segue a lot I like that inquiry that he makes is like, if you freed me for the sake of Allah and let me go right. If you freed me for the sake of yourself, then I will write little obey. Listen. Yeah, so and it so it was almost like he was still. He? He understood that sense of loyalty. Yeah, of course. Okay. Of course. Yeah. And it had nothing to do with him freeing him as a slave. Yeah, it was it was because of who he was okay. Of what what he meant to him as a friend. Yeah. And that is why there's a

00:08:54--> 00:09:32

beautiful statement in Islam. And when when I'm working on the on to fried Bilaal, they will say, say you do not have luck, I say even that our master Yeah, look at all the Londo fried our master, okay, without all the love that equal standing of companionship, right. But they still know that Leon was the best of them. Okay. And this is something that they from from all of the companions, they respected. Yeah. And they knew of his status on top of the fact that he's calling for the for sale, and he's the successor of the Prophet. So I said, Okay, yeah. So he eventually what happened was on one of the lawn, who then had the expansion of the Muslim, you know, Empire, and that led to

00:09:32--> 00:09:38

being almost a relief for Jerusalem. The like, that's a weird way to put it because Wait,

00:09:40--> 00:09:59

how is it a relief? That's exactly relief from what? Jerusalem was destroyed systematically 22 times in history? Oh, yeah. I mean, over the Asian Exactly. Yeah. Kind of like Troy. Troy was like that. They said that because they did excavation right. It was about they they said that the city was built like seven layers of cities.

00:10:00--> 00:10:38

Not only that there's almost 11 to 12 layers of this of Jerusalem. Oh, wow. Now, so you know, we have been there hamdulillah and we got to actually live what exactly that means. But when you're there, you actually see the layers in metal oxide. Okay. So for example, lot of people must also think that, you know, some people think that metal oxide is the Dome of the Rock, the golden dome. Okay. And that's not true, right. And some people think it's the gray dome. Yeah, that's much luck. So that's what you want to build. And pray. That's also not true, right? Imagine oxide is the entire wall of the 34 acre property that's built up. Gotcha. So what you're seeing is all of it as much

00:10:38--> 00:11:15

luck. So why because when the problem came there, yeah, it was actually the window buildings structure. It was the walls of that console. So So who built a great dome building? The Great dome building is much later, you know, the omae. There's, there's many the what you see now is automated. Okay. But it The purpose of the gray dome building is not something that was built by Abraham. I said, Oh, no, no, no, it has nothing to do with any of the profits. Okay. Because we know like Abraham, I said, I'm from with a smile. Right. He built the Kaaba. Right. Right. Right. But then he also built muzzle

00:11:16--> 00:11:20

woods, right with his Hawk. No, no,

00:11:21--> 00:11:29

no, it's not something we know of. Bow or is that, is that an assumption? No, I think that that's the first time I'm hearing.

00:11:30--> 00:12:12

Is that because I've been because I was mentioned, at least from what I've heard, and maybe it's incorrect passing to me. Where the so did one with a smile and then with with hockey, but so the question is, is there anything significant he did with his heart as far as I know, of course, but as far as building a structure, yeah. Not that I'm aware of. Okay. And maybe we this is a good point maybe was as hot instructed to make the pilgrimage to Mecca? Yes. All the profits were all the profits of all the profits. In fact, the profit center would would add on his way to his farewell pilgrimage. Yeah, he would start by evaluating the value of Thor and he would say as if I can see

00:12:12--> 00:12:56

Moosa doing Tobia. And then another place, if I can see Jesus when he comes, this is where he will pass. Okay. So the process I've said this is, the pilgrimage is something all prophets did. But previous Yeah, to that. But if all the prophets did it, wouldn't it be within the religious tradition of the Jews and Christians? For it to be like, Look, our profits made the pilgrimage to Mecca? No, No, there isn't. There isn't? I'll tell you why. Because right now in the church, the tradition in the Christian scripture, yeah, there is a mention of that in manuscripts of of Matthew, okay. And is this within the compiled Bible as it is today? Or these are manuscripts they found?

00:12:56--> 00:13:35

Okay. So for example, there's a lot of discussion, you know, and I'm not a Bible scholar, but I've read enough to understand some of the manuscripts with this. Okay, so with regards to what you see, now, we, these accounts are from the accounts of those people who may have met the apostles. Okay, so the Bible as we see it, now, today's a large discussion of what is that considered to us as Muslims? Is that considered the Injeel? That was given to me that we know we know historically, the Bible is a compiled version of many scriptures. Amongst them is the songs the Old Testament, the New Testament, the I mean, all these things could rival biblioteca, which is library redex. Right.

00:13:35--> 00:14:08

Right. All that is I mean, that's what it is. So that but it but the question is, is that the in g that is described to us in the Koran or not, this is a theological discussion, okay. Because if it's something that was just some of the some, some people say, even 300 100, you know, laters is what you see now. Okay, is the compiler. There's scholars like Bart Ehrman, as you know, he became agnostic because of finding out some of the truth when it comes to the completion of the of the Bible. And he says that we don't have anything recorded. Right, that goes back to the original sources. Not only that doesn't we don't have anything recorded that the statements of Jesus Himself

00:14:08--> 00:14:42

right. And he said the earliest the earliest that we have is 65 years after the passing of Jesus. The point I'm making in all of all of this mentioned is that was Mecca described, there are hints, okay, a manuscript but not even Mecca. But like the idea of making a pilgrimage to that house, Abraham, right. This is that this is an interesting thing, because we, we believe as well, that Jerusalem and we call it beta mccullers. And, yes, I want to, from now on referred to as quotes, okay. All right. When does, which means the sacred city, the sacred lands? We believe that was an area of pilgrimage that all prophets went through. Okay. Well, and this is one of the most powerful

00:14:42--> 00:15:00

things of understanding why it's so historically significant in Islam, that it is one of the three holiest mosques that you are actually encouraged highly to take your religious spiritual journey. Okay. And this is something we've kind of we mentioned. Yeah. We don't realize how significant it is that it's it's a very strong recommendation.

00:15:00--> 00:15:38

And you won't understand how powerful that is until you actually go there. Okay? And you know, may Allah make it easy for everybody. And I don't know if some people just can't go there because they're Palestinian or whatever, but if you have the opportunity, I really like encourage for you to take that trip and be able to see just how powerful it is as a spiritually cleansing experience, you know, to be in this holy land, how would you describe it in in I don't wanna say comparison or even in relation to but it's like arriving at Mecca and Medina right right like you arrive in Medina and it's just like you have this sense of like definitely the piece but it's like this is what I've been

00:15:38--> 00:15:46

hearing about all my life right right and from finally here, right right. Same thing when you come to Mecca you have this sense of

00:15:47--> 00:15:57

like, I am walking in the footsteps of like even older right right Medina is like the new place right? You go someplace older likely blame was there Yeah right.

00:15:59--> 00:16:35

And all that and then even recognizing the elements of the seat All right, so then but when you go to Jerusalem right like what is that sense that vibe that feeling there's a there's actually a statement of I shall always yeah who said that Medina is Gemma its beauty okay. And you feel that written you recognize it like you said, I've always heard about this you actually feel it now that peace to tranquility the beauty of it, and he said Mecca gll like grand your magnificant magnificent Yeah, Hauer yes you feel how small you are compared to the copy actually feel that Wow, there is something bigger in the universe. Yeah, like if any moment in your life you realize that is when you

00:16:35--> 00:16:45

stand in front of cabinet. Yeah, and that magnetic pole that because everybody in the whole world is praying and that directly and in the cabinet has a pole to it? Yeah, like spiritual like the center of the galaxy.

00:16:46--> 00:17:32

Right. Okay. So the the one thing that I added to that is this great scholar statement. He says Mecca Medina, Jamal Mecca Jetta. And when I actually saw, I saw, I realized something very powerful. I saw his honor. On you see the honor, you see the legacy? You see the tradition, the heritage, it's in front of you. You're looking at a wall, the prophets lesson himself saw over that was built over now. 1000 sorry, 2000. About 1900 years. Yeah, right. Plus, like you're looking at a wall that's that old. You're looking at the church that all of them hop up entered. You're looking at the place where we're out on the lawn, who, you know, eventually came back to what was it the the statement of

00:17:33--> 00:18:03

Omaha pub when one of the companions said, hey, maybe you should dress a little bit better, right? We're going to talk about that in very good detail. Basically, when he entered Jerusalem, he saw the companions dressed in the finest of clothes. Yeah, hearted and naughty. And yazeed. Even me, Sophia, the Brahmin Khalid bin Really? Yeah. Okay, so this is surprising. I will be there but I'm gonna be dressed in fine clothes. Yeah. Why? Because they wanted to dress in the same level as the people. Yeah. When in Rome. Well, yeah. Well, when in Jerusalem.

00:18:05--> 00:18:23

Rome, Rome shouldn't always be the example those Roman it was Roman. Yeah, I agree. So it was when in Rome do as the Romans Yeah, but but in that case, they they wore some of the nicest clothes, okay. And they had the finest Turkish forces. Okay. So when I'm on them, hip hop came and they said, Yeah, you know, when you should really, you know, dress for the occasion. Yeah.

00:18:24--> 00:18:31

I'll discuss the deepest conversation in the class, but I will vary the ambit of national law was the general of the generals. Okay.

00:18:32--> 00:18:45

top brass who the top brass basically. So he said to him, yeah, I mean, I mean, you should, um, he said, I'm afraid people will not honor you based on how you're dressing. Okay. He said in a very, very, very wise way. Yeah. And he said to him,

00:18:46--> 00:19:24

what made you like, oh, beta, I wish somebody other than you made the statement. Okay. Because why is it companionable? prophesizing. Right. And he said to him, no candle couldn't have common Avila. We were humiliated people. Yeah, for as an aloha minister, Allah honored us with Islam. Isn't this something along the same lines? That Jaffa would not be thought of setting for right and the gesture? Right, right. Right. Like we were really interviewing people. Yeah. So he said, we were humiliated people, a lot honored us with Islam, okay. And if we choose to seek honor now, with anything other than it alone will return us to being humiliated. So this side thought, and maybe you

00:19:24--> 00:19:27

mentioned maybe you don't, but

00:19:29--> 00:19:59

the issue of alliances right, all right. So you have Muslims fighting or having have fought in front amongst the Persians, then having fought in front against the Roman Byzantium. Byzantium is an ally of the Christians of Cassini at the time. So how did that kind of play out in terms of the political relationships between the negus of that time, right, and the Muslims Well, the thing is when Anna joshy, who was a Muslim

00:20:00--> 00:20:26

A whole lot out. He never saw the process. Okay, what is this? what's the what's the name of this hammer? That was his name? No, there was a name of those class of people who are Muslim at the time. But they call them Tabby huddled on okay. hobble them. Okay. And he lived there. For some you never saw him. Gotcha. And there was a companion even in Yemen like that, right? Yes. Okay. Now there's, there's another one that actually came five days after the president passed away. We'll talk about that. So don't

00:20:27--> 00:20:29

judge me. But the point being is

00:20:31--> 00:20:51

the Natasha, when he passed away, there was another negative that came he actually became an oppressor. Oh, so it ended the rule of nice, senior. Okay, so he actually became an apprentice and that kind of cut off ties with the Muslim Empire. Interesting, because he'd be he actually Muslim number one and conquered them. No, no, of course not. They just kind of like, Is it like an unspoken treaty?

00:20:52--> 00:21:26

Or they just never I don't have I don't have enough knowledge to say that it was or it wasn't okay. I know that they didn't, or they had good trade relations. Maybe they did. But remember, I'm going to be lost during the reign of I'm going to pop up also went into Africa. So he they took over Egypt. Yeah. And then they kind of like mold there because they didn't want to spread themselves thin. Okay, so there already like three, three directions have already been taken. Right. The north, east and west. Yeah. And I think at that point in time, that's when the owner passes away. Okay, so then you have another man's rain, which then went deeper? Yeah. So they did eventually get there.

00:21:26--> 00:22:05

But it's just about when not spreading yourself too thin. So I don't want to make overreaching statements that you're sure Alliance necessarily. Okay. But remember that the the time which the companions had this kind of rain and spread of peace? Yeah. Going back to what what I meant by it was a relief for Jerusalem because original question. Yeah, it was because Jerusalem, kind of symbolized what the rest of the conquest by other nations. So historically, whenever Jerusalem has traded hands, right, that trading of hands was through destruction or destruction, or absolute destruction, what empires would come for example, yeah, right. Before this was the frontline. It was

00:22:05--> 00:22:39

the frontline and Alexander the Great even use Jerusalem as his hub. Okay, so he put all the soldiers there. Yeah. And then they would go to wherever he wants them to go. Gotcha. So it was it was kind of the reconnaissance reinforcement area. So like what you said they came and destroyed everything. In fact, as you know, there's entire chapter of the hornos that was revealed about the destruction of this place. Okay. So what's the room? The chapter of the Romans, okay, what's wrong with the Romans? That's when the Persians and the Romans were actually they traded hands, what three times at least? Yes. Okay. Yes. So that so when you have the one of this a historical account of

00:22:39--> 00:22:40

that as there is and that's what we're going to discuss?

00:22:43--> 00:22:44

gun.

00:22:45--> 00:22:53

That's why I think it's so powerful that when you look at history, not only history, and when that happened when that trading of hands happened between the Romans and Persians, right.

00:22:54--> 00:23:35

This is when the companions before hazera, right, or after Israel, that's after a no, sorry, I'm so sorry. Yeah, yeah. It's after Hasan. Right. Right. And so, you have voyage? I'm very sorry, because what sorts of rumors revealed when I went back and made a a wager with the Meccans okay with the merits, right. So he made a wager, before, before before he died in Mecca. But it was a divinely guided wager. Exactly. And the prophets of Sam said, he told the prophets I said, the offseason I said to him, what was the wager? Because I think we're maybe assuming a lot of people know about what we're talking about, okay. A lot of reveals sorts of Rome. And in that was a prophecy which

00:23:35--> 00:24:12

would come true later. Yeah. And that is that the Romans were defeated by the Persians this spread news in Mecca. Yeah. And then Allah subhanaw taala said that after some time, yeah, the Persians will defeat the Romans. Sure. Right. And then the Romans will come, sorry, the Persians are going to defeat the Romans and the Romans will read defeat the Persians. Okay, that was mentioned in the Quran had not happened yet. Yeah. So, the wager that happened was what could went to the MEK and crush and he said to them, that this is what has been revealed. Yeah. And they said, this is not going to happen. Okay. And you guys, basically, it's all a lie. So I said, Would you like to do a

00:24:12--> 00:24:49

wager? Sure. And he put up a sum of money and it's an amount of time he went to the Prophet, I saw someone said, This is what we, what we kind of wait and the Prophet says, I'm told him, increase the amount. Yeah, and increase the time because it's not going to happen. Right? You said it. Okay. So, when that wager was, was taken, the prophets lie, Selim was the one who set the limit at the time that the Romans would re defeat the Persians. Okay, and we're gonna talk about that in detail, because has to do when it was in the realm of I want to hop out of the lawn who and look at us. So is it possible that when the Romans took back Jerusalem right at this point,

00:24:50--> 00:25:00

that taking back probably also weaken the Persian some more, yes, which enabled the Muslims to finish him off? Because the person is really are fighting two fronts now, right? They weren't

00:25:00--> 00:25:46

But but the the, the reality was it wasn't a sense of weakness as much as they basically took them out of that part. The Romans did not go into first, but they were also understood they drew the line in the sand essentially. Right? And they said, we're not going to go past this right. And when the Persian Empire fell, right, the Muslims came, and they, they fought in the battles of Aliyah, Mama, and so on. Right, right. And then when they opened up Jerusalem, right, and the reason I think they wanted to, I'm assuming, right, I'm assuming that the hierarchies was incorrectly correctly. Yeah. He agreed to the terms of surrender, right? Because it's like, oh, wait, you're gonna not pillage

00:25:46--> 00:26:26

and destroy and, and we just got this place back. But I'm assuming that they wanted to avoid this a little bit more nuanced and wise because the the Byzantium was going through a lot of crisis, okay. And the cry one of the crisis was, is that heraclius was causing this kind of unstable rule. Okay, so what happened is beta lockless, or Jerusalem kind of independently made that decision, okay, because it was lost. So they were being seized by armor on the line. Hello, and the general camera, kinda like Constantinople. Exactly. Right? Because they cut off the surprise, right? They laid siege and they're like, I find what Wilson right kind of exactly what happened much later on. salahaddin.

00:26:26--> 00:27:01

Okay, when he sees it, and they said, What are the terms? Are you going to come and destroy us, like the previous ages? And he's like, they're not my teachers. Okay. You know, where he got that from? Okay. They're not our teachers. Our teachers are online. Yeah. And that's why it's so important to understand, like this part of history. Well, why don't they say that he's like, I am not the kingdom of heaven. He's like, I am not those men. Those men, right, so so I'm not those men are here. They're not my teachers. Yeah. So in that sense, that's exactly what happened. Bob came in there. And he promised absolute peace, and that they will not be in basically safety in all of their

00:27:01--> 00:27:18

worship and every Exactly, and they signed something called the or money covenant. Okay, which we're gonna talk about. Sure. And he signed it with the patriarch of Jerusalem. pazza fronius, which we're going to talk about, I know his story, okay. And also something that unfortunately, is romanticized amongst Muslims that are so happy throwing flowers and roses, they weren't that happy. Well, they just got conquered. So

00:27:20--> 00:28:00

we didn't talk about that. But they did recognize one thing, which is 100% true. And unfortunately, Western academic scholars, they downplay Okay, which is the fact that they recognize the justice of almost all of the law in the Muslim world, the fact that he kept his word, they kept the fact that he kept his word and he did not do what every literally every nation, you know what history of Jews, it's interesting, because when the Inquisition happened, and then they surrendered the Spanish because the Spanish Inquisition to surrender the keys of Granada to Queen Isabella Ferdinand, they had in a treaty saying, guaranteeing the safety of the Muslims right under the Spanish rule. And

00:28:00--> 00:28:30

they broke all of those within a decade, right? Which is a contrast 100% and this is why, you know, when you look at when you look at the amount of oppression that the Muslims faced in history, yeah. And when they had a chance to be vengeful. Yeah, you know, again, we're not going to say everybody, no, swords are not a representation of the ideals of Islam. Right, because you're gonna find, you know, rulers, Ottomans, you know, etc, which did horrible things. Yeah. fought them. Is that horrible? Yeah, the most horrible thing. Yeah. So we're not trying to say that doesn't exist.

00:28:31--> 00:28:44

You're gonna see it, you're gonna see it? Yeah, among themselves that debate. Yeah, and you're gonna see it, but we're gonna, what we're trying to say is that when there was a Muslim ruler, which tried to implement the ideals that Islam actually taught, despite their

00:28:45--> 00:28:53

imperfections, yeah, they achieved greatness that humanity had never seen before. Okay. And just want to bring it back to me too.

00:28:54--> 00:29:31

Right. So like, what was that situation after they open up Jerusalem? So when Bill when Bill out on the lawn, who, you know, obviously, like we said he was in Sham area. Yeah. Amato the lawn who was told by some of the companions who remember to be that, yeah. And they were they had a sense of nostalgia. And reflecting over how beautiful it was, when bailout Alanna would come and give the call to prayer in the time of the Prophet. I said, Okay, so they were immersed in that moment, and they wanted belatedly Ilana to give the event one more time. Yeah, and especially the locks lock. Sure. So the rest of the story will tell what happened, but how did you convince him to like how to

00:29:31--> 00:29:59

get him over that emotional block? He kind of kept emphasizing that, that this isn't about you better. Okay. This is about the Muslims that don't don't don't take it as like don't almost it's it's not what he said yeah, but don't treat it as a selfish thing. Okay, like let let you let it overcome your emotions and all sorts of like, suppress the, the devastating feelings that you have for having lost a competitor and a friend of profit and all of that and look at where you're at.

00:30:00--> 00:30:40

Now exactly and what good would come about as a result of you doing that and what it would do for because it's very symbolic. It's probably one of the most symbolic things in human history. Okay, why? Because this is the same man that only was the more than the process setup. He gave though he did the one thing which basically was the end of the suppression and the oppression of the mannequins, and it was the one act that symbolizes the slave that rises to give I then in Jerusalem No, no for that slave that rises I gave at an at an in Mecca advocate. Yeah, the Kaaba that ended the mannequin systematic, you know, racism and oppression and everything that they have now. Yes.

00:30:40--> 00:31:03

And then once you mentioned and the fact that now he's coming to Jerusalem and doing that again, as a as the place in station of honor Exactly. Okay. his honor. Nice luck his grand your grinder grinder power power. Yeah. And Medina is beauty beauty and peace and peace and and and excise honor. Yeah. honored legacy.
