			kundala. Today is the 17th of Ramadan.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:36
			And the 17th of Ramadan is a very powerful day in Islamic history.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:51
			This is a day that the Muslim should never ever forget. Because such a great incident took place on
this day. That until the day of judgment, as long as it's real remains, people are always remembered
the day of 17th in Milan.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			Can anyone tell me what happened on this day? Raise your hand if you know the answer.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			Kid at the back
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:07
			the Battle of other two please. Very, very good. The great battle of butter took place in the second
year after migration on the 17th of Milan.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			And I thought,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:55
			what better reflection can we have to remember the Battle of brother today? There were actually many
great battles that took place in the month of Ramadan, some very good battles, and very especially
in particular, there were five battles that took place in the month of Ramadan, that have placed
such a position in Islamic history, that till today, the Muslims are indebted to those five battles.
And we will always remember those five battles. The first one obviously being the Battle of button,
the second one being the conquest of Mocambo karma. The third one being thought it means Yod waging
war and being victorious in being victorious in Spain, the third being mahmudul mommy's attack
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:27
			against the tar and beating them, there was a first last ever had in their life, it was the month of
Ramadan. And then the last one being selected Dina ubass victory in the Battle of 18. And after that
Philistine came under Islamic rule, once again, these five battles, and I thought that maybe in the
next five days, we can discuss each of them inshallah, who knows he's just so we can remember them
and reflect over the great incidents that took place some of the bad things that happened, some of
the good things that happened, and we can also try to learn lessons from them inshallah, the Battle
of brother, as I mentioned, took place in the second year after migration. The build up to the
		
00:02:27 --> 00:03:04
			Battle of butter was that abusive Yon took a caravan for business. And he took all the investments
from the people of Mocambo karma. And he said to them, that when I returned back from Africa, I will
bring profit to you on your investments. And those who are invested in that particular caravan they
had made intention that they will use every penny of their profit, and then reinvested again in the
army to fight against the Muslims. Now, when that caravan was returning with many folds of profit,
the profits that a lot of it was sent him came to know of this and he said to the Sahaba, we have to
stop that caravan from reaching MCC. Because if it reaches Mancha, they're going to send a very
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:41
			large army after us for the purpose of the law while he was sitting with a few Sahaba simply with
the intention to stop a caravan. What was the intention to stop a caravan that's it. 313 of them
they left and they went to intercede the caravan. I was with Yahoo at the time had not accepted
Islam. When he heard that people were coming towards him to intercept his caravan. He changed the
route immediately. And then he sent one person to rush to MCI and tell him tell the people of Makkah
that someone is attacking us. Abuja when he heard the Prophet said a long while he was sitting with
us haba are coming towards the direction of the caravan, he became very angry. And he made an
		
00:03:41 --> 00:04:11
			announcement in Mocambo kenema that every man, every young man, and every adult should stand and
pull out their sores and march towards the direction of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
they amassed an army of 1000 people, on horses on camels on powerful you know, what he called his
animals. And they had armor on and they had they had swords and they had arrows and they had Spears,
they had their helmets on. These people were ready for war. While this haba they were simply
stopping at
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:45
			a caravan. That's it, they just took a few sticks. Maybe we'll just scare them a little bit. And
that's it. And while these guys they got ready, and 1000 of them, they begin to march towards the
profits that allow it was a novel Sofia and after he dodged the Muslims, he immediately sent another
messenger telling I was telling Abuja that there's no need for the battle anymore. There's no need
for you guys to do anything. Because we've dodged them. You know, we're safe now. Let's just use
this money the way we originally planned and then we'll make an attack. Well, john was so arrogant
that he said, No, now that we've put an army together, we will flatten the Muslims out. And after
		
00:04:45 --> 00:05:00
			preparing this large army, he also took with him women who were going to dance and celebrate the
victory. He was so sure of the victory that he was taking the confetti with him, that as soon as we
win, we're going to start celebrating like crazy. He already prepared a celebration speech. If you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:34
			His victory speech, he was so confident of it. And as they were marching in the direction of the
prophets of Allah while he was in the province of the law, it was someone you heard that I thought
that an army of 1000 people was coming his way. They had 313 men together and there was 1000. on
that site, the ratio was three to one, one Muslim to three from the opposition. We wouldn't even
stand to a basketball game that had a ratio like that. And here, this is battle. And this is the
very first great battle that's taking place in the history of Islam. Whenever someone talks about
the history of Islam and the first grade battle, the Battle of other will be mentioned, and the
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:04
			results of the Battle of other are very important. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was very
worried this hobble were very worried they couldn't retreat because that army was going to follow
them wherever they went. If they went to Medina, then if there was a loss, that loss would be
brought to Medina and every one of them, you know, would then be crushed. And the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam did not want to put Madina munawwara any sort of harm at all, the province of a long
while he was sitting sat down with his hava, and he said to them, what is your opinion? What should
we do? Now some of this harbor from the Mahajan, some of them are from the unsought now, the
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:37
			unsightly Sahaba who accepted Islam when they took pledge at the hands of the province that along
with it was sending an invite to the province that allowed them to Madina munawwara they said very
clearly in the pledge, that if there is any battle that takes place between you and people who you
had issues with before migration, we will not be a part of it. Technically, we don't have to be a
part of it. Anything that happens after migration, someone takes a fight with us, someone has a
problem with us, then we're by your side. The problem is that a lot of money was seven remembering
that one, that one clause in the in their agreement, he spoke to the Sahaba of the onside and said
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:11
			to them what will you guys do? The Mahajan are always with me, but what are you guys going to do?
Will you hold on to your agreement? Are you going to stand by my side and then somehow a lot this
habit is sent to the messenger sent a long line he was so dumb, that even if you were to take your
horses into the oceans, we would follow you right behind we are going to say to you what Mousavi
Saddam's companion sitter Musab, we will stand by your side right till the end of it. And when the
progress that along with it was seldom heard this he smiled. And the reason why he smiled is because
he was happy to know that the Sahaba around him, were with him through thick and thin. Right. And
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:40
			this is a big principle here. Many of our communities, they're with their moms only through good
times. But as soon as times become difficult, then what happens? They leave their massage, they
leave their email, they leave their board, they run away, they forget about loyalty. loyalty is a
very important thing. And this is what the prophets that allow it was sudden became so happy with.
It was a decent habit. They could have easily said we're out. But they said no we will remain loyal
to the prophets that allamani was in him and they stood by the side of the prophets of Allah while
he was in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said to the Sahaba that tomorrow they will
		
00:07:40 --> 00:08:19
			reach he settled all this harbor down and set to them everyone. Take some rest and go to sleep. Now
tomorrow you have a very big exam. Right? How could you sleep the night before? Forget exam This is
a big battle. Tomorrow these people will know whether the Muslim caravan will return to Medina
saying that now your children are often and your wife is a widow. They don't know if they're gonna
live or not tomorrow, tomorrow could be a bit off. And they've made so much sacrifice for this in
tomorrow literally could be the end of it. So they how are they going to sleep? Allah subhana wa
tada says, from Allah Sakina suli Allah subhanho wa Taala then sent down Sakina he sent on peace and
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:51
			tranquility on a lot and on the companions and the messenger on the compat on the on the companions
and the messengers. And what happens they all fell asleep. And imagine if you've had nicely before
the exam how energetic you're going to feel the next morning and the prophets of alarm audio said
even though he had Sakina he didn't sleep he stayed awake all night making blood of Allah subhanho
wa Taala the fudger time came the prophets of Allah while he was in came to be loud with your loved
one. And he said be loud stand up and give the other Malala de la one got up and he gives the other
the prophecy that alone while he was certain that the fudger salah and then the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:08:51 --> 00:09:05
			it was said he had this habit seated and he spoke to them. He said to them today is a very big game.
Do not run away from the battlefield, stand close to each other. Be firm. Remember lots of hands on
without it. Yeah, you will live in a theater festival to work
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:07
			well to LA
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:19
			Fatah Shalu Waterbury Hospital in the law, Hamas lobbying the policy blossoms giving them these
instructions that how to how to how to prepare themselves for the battle.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:50
			Now what happens is that it's all done. And then after the lecture is over the Prophet salallahu
alayhi wasallam says to this haba stand up now and make your lines and the kofod. On the other side
as the sun is rising. They're preparing their lines in the office and a lot of systems stand up and
prepare your lines. And this harbor they stand up. Someone's wearing something on his chest.
Someone's writing nothing on his chest. Someone's standing on his feet. Someone's sitting on a
donkey. Someone's carrying a stick in his hand. Someone's carrying a sword in his hand. Someone's
carrying a branch another one's carrying a spear. They have like a kinda like a broken team right
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:59
			here. But they're broken apparently. But from within they were so solid, that it's beyond
imagination how solid they were from within because they try
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:25
			Allah subhanho wa Taala and that's what made these two have a very unique, that's what made them
very, very unique from outside. The Sahaba, who fought in the Battle of Verdun had no reason to be
victorious. But it was from within that Allah azza wa jal says in Surah, Anfal five characteristics
that they possess that made them victorious in the Battle of other what were the five
characteristics in the minion and Medina de la kulu wader, Tony Atala him it was added to imana
Allah,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			Allah, Allah, Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:52
			seudah unfollows revealed after the Battle of the button, what were they supposed to do with all the
goods after they were victorious? A loss of addresses five characteristics or the five
characteristics that this haba had that made them victorious in the Battle of others. They drink a
lot of protein shake, they all had membership and export, great cardio, very agile, and their
stamina was unbelievable. No none of this stuff
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:17
			was holding the alarm was was one of the people who fought the battle of other he was so thin. The
Sahaba used to make fun of him when he climbed up the tree. And this habit of looking at his shin
they said, look at that thin guy. You know how we say to each other look at the chicken legs. People
in our days, they all the young guys, they go to gym and they make the upper part of the body wide
while their legs are small. chicken legs, right? You have to ask what your priorities are when the
legs are most important to work out. That's another story. Okay.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:49
			And the process that a lot is from says Don't make fun of I'm loving my legs. They have a lot of
weight on the scale of on the scale of Allah subhanho wa Taala they have a lot of weight. They when
they heard the name of a lot of their hearts to tremble. When they heard the verses of the Quran,
their faith would increase. they relied on a lot. They establish the prayer and they give the
charity without equal movement on the haka. And there you have 313 of them, they were ready. And the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When the Kufa came in front, three of them came up from the
mobile De Soto firing line on one side, the Muslims are lying on the other side. And what they will
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:13
			do is that in the middle space, and the empty space between they would have a little dual. So the
kuffaar will send three of their men and the Muslims will send three of their men and these three
men would fight against each other and the purpose was that it would that the crowd would get very
high. So if one of the Muslims got killed the father scream Yeah, and the front of the Muslims were
victorious. The Muslims are screaming Yes, and they would get them all hyped up and riled up for the
war. So three of the people came from the from the British side,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:47
			three of them onside Step four, and these inside were proving their worth to the prophets that a lot
of it was them that not only will we stand by your side but we're going to be in the front line as
well and three of them came up and when these three local fire when they saw this this house on fire
they said Who are you three we don't even know you guys we don't know who you Medina guys are we
don't know on site we don't know you guys you guys are nobodies? Why don't you go back and send us
three gracious send us three of our people. We want to fight against the people that ran from us.
And these these have looked at the practice of law instead of the practice of law some call them
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			back. And then the purpose of the law of audio Some said Korea Hamza, Hamza,
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			Hamza Viola when
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:28
			they had an easy 100 of your loved ones, it just changed when he said it. Ali stand up at but we
call this at Columbia, Aveda Aveda stood up, and three of them they walked forward together in one
line. And when they came forward from the other side, the three that came comes out of your lawan he
sliced his guy into pieces. I'm gonna do long one, no problem. I'll be there. However, when he
struck his enemy, his his opponent, his opponent hit him back and the other one got hit. But hums on
earlier the alarm came and wipe this guy clean. And then after that the Muslims, they began to shout
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:37
			back into the lines. And when they brought him back into the lines now the Muslims were very riled
up because they had three on zero, right.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:12
			And on that side, they were a little sad. But again, the numbers still spoke it was 1313 here 1000
minus two 1000 minus three sorry, right 997 left, and here you have 313 two left. So nonprofits that
a lot a lot he was sentenced to this haba that now is the main time and the prophets of Allah
Hollywood cinemas walking between the lines. And he was thinking of this habit of stretching your
lines straight into lines down together. Don't disperse, make sure you stand together, fight
together, he's giving them last advice. And there's a very beautiful narration that while the
prophets of Allah Hollywood cinemas walking through the lines he saw on the hobby with his chest
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:24
			sticking up the purpose of the law while he was set on took his staff and hit him in the chest is it
gonna matter instead, instead of straight, staring straight or man hit him in the chest? That's a
hobby sort of messenger of Allah, you just oppressed me.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:58
			Now there's a big battle about to take place. The professionalism pokes him in the chest and what
does this guy say? You just pressed me. The problem is that a lot is how to look at his composure.
He doesn't say be quiet we'll deal with later on. Bob nicolini No, he takes he removes a sheet. He
gives him the staff he says take your revenge right now. It's a hobby puts the staff down and hugs
the practice of medicine. He said a messenger of Allah I wanted this to be my last memory of my life
not I'm ready to give my life for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. And the prophets of Allah Allah
will set him before the Battle of brotherhood please he raised his hand and he went in his tent, and
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			he made the Ottoman law and he
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			He cried so much. He cried so much, which month was it?
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:39
			And Ramadan, you make Guatemala and he raised his hands while the soldiers outside ready to clash,
and he raised his hand making Guatemala abubaker Cinco de la one, he's searching, where's the
profit? Where's the profit? And he says the purpose of the LA honey cinnamon is in his tent moments
before the battle. And he goes inside the tent. And he says the purpose of Alison's crying, and he's
crying so much that his sheep kind of fell off his back a little. And the Prophet said, allow her to
sit on a Walker says he made a statement that really broke my heart when he was so powerful, such a
powerful statement. He said, Oh Allah, if we lose tomorrow, if we lose today in the battle, then
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			there will be no one to worship you on this earth.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:16
			Whenever workers to do it alone heard this, he came to the Prophet said a lot of sudden he put his
hand on his back and said a messenger of Allah, Allah won't waste You know, that's enough. And then
the Prophet said, a lot of them came out and instructed the Sahaba to start and the Battle of Baba
when the sides class, Allah subhanho wa tada he gave the Muslims a bonus, all alone are to do is to
see whether they would engage in the war or whether they would turn back. If they were to turn back
then this nation was to fail. But just as soon as the sides met Allah subhana wa tada made a deal
with the prophets that are modest enough that your Sahaba have met, they pass their tests, don't
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:37
			worry about anything, we are sending 1000 trained Angel soldiers 1000 angels, that Allah subhanaw
taala says, okay, that's not enough. 3000 and then Allah says on the house 5000 5000 angels coming
down before the ratio was three Muslims to one. Now the ratio is one of them to five angels.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:17:14
			And these five 5000 angels have come down. And the Sahaba they say one Sahabi he says that I wish I
can take you to the Battle of the land and show you I will point you the place where the angels are
coming down from here, we would just point or sword like we're about to hit someone and like I was
already done. We would reserve soon as if we were going to hit someone and that guy was done, we
would pull our arrow back about shoot at someone and that guy was already done. The angels were
running through the battlefield, they were just wiping out there knocking these guys on one after
the other. And none of them stood to people to want to have the great leaders of Macumba kenema were
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:26
			killed in the Battle of butter. The first was may have been hot. Have you guys ever heard of this
name before? You guys have heard of this? before? You've heard of that many times? Let me see who
you can remember whose story is only ever mentioned, raise your hand
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			at the back.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:48
			Yes, very good, beloved of your loved ones for every time you hear the name of a lot of your loved
one, the one that used to beat the law, the law one and a lot of the law one is to say I had I had
who was the person beating them all the time. Well, maybe you haven't heard of Beloved, your loved
one. So many have been caught up in the battle. And he said to the unsought, you should either go
and kill him.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:20
			Now, a lot of your loved one obviously he had an emotional trauma if you wish to see that guy beat
him so much. He said to this hobby, you guys go and pick him up. And then a group of Sahaba they
came very long incident. But at the end of it they killed the media. And Abuja had also has a very
interesting incident of the time and over the long ones and entik narration of the harmony of your
loved one says in the Battle of other eyes looked to my right, and I look to my left. And I was
hoping that I have strong men next to me so I can rely on them in the battle if I needed help. But
when I look to my right, I had a small kid and his name was mom. And it looked my left side and
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:30
			there was another small kid his name was always and these two young kids I was they were standing
next to me I thought to myself, rather than them supporting me now I have now I'm gonna have to do
babysitting. I'm gonna have to look after these two kids.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:19:02
			One by one, they poke him in the elbow. They say Where's john? and Amanda Knox says Why don't you
guys worry about a Buddha because Buddha was a very big man. He was like oh my god, Allah. The
Prophet said a lot while he was sitting before Allah accepted Islam. He made a lot of Allah Oh Allah
strengthen Islam through a Buddha or Allah. And Allah, Allah one was the one that accepted Islam. So
he was a big man of the time. And also what are you guys wanting to do with a boy john, he's a big
man. They said we heard he speaks bad about the profits of the long run. He was sent him and we will
take revenge on him. Now their mother
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			in law, their mother's name was
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			what was her name.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:46
			She has a very unique macom that no other hobby has. After all, the other one, I hope somebody that
no other hobby holds. What is that she had two husbands. From her first husband, she had four sons.
From her second husband, she had three sons. She is the only lady who had seven sons fighting the
Battle of how many sons, seven sons. They were all lined up in the Battle of another one after the
other all seven of them were there. And two of these sons were the ones who actually cause Abu Jamal
to fall off his horse and finally he was killed by 11 was wounded the last one after the Battle of
the mother. It's a very, very powerful story, the battle the battle and the great things that
		
00:19:46 --> 00:20:00
			happened you know verbatim and a woman with your loved one don't have you know a lot of your loved
one all these directly played. You know, you can read that story at another time. When the Battle of
other came to an end and after Muslims were victorious. The bodies of all those who have been
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:29
			killed were taken and they were put inside a well, the name of the world was Baba. Hence the reason
why the battle was called the Battle of the brother that was as well where the bodies were put
inside after the battle was over, and all the captains were brought together, after Matura being
done the practice of law while he was sort of agreed that the capitals would be released on a
ransom, based off the ransom that was given, they were set, they were set free. The purpose of the
lahardee was set him on he was leaving the battlefield, he walked up to the cave, he walked up to
the the world. And he looked in the world and he said to the people, after all the bodies were
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			there. He said to them,
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:59
			that I don't want you people to say to allow that I oppressed you. I came to you. I taught Islam to
you, you people were the ones that were ignorant, you were the ones who rejected and he said that
this what has happened to you today was actually because of your own actions and then the profits or
loss and walked away, hence the scholar say CML Mota is directly studied right here that can the
dead here, can a person talk to the dead and a person go to the grave and talk to someone, they use
this hadith the Prophet sallallahu wasallam spoke to the dead bodies of
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:29
			the kuffar in the Battle of in the Battle of the button. That's another issues debated by the
scholars you can discuss that in another time. The prophets of Allah Allah was someone who returns
back in the month of Ramadan to Madina munawwara this haobo were excited, they were celebrating and
they were so happy. When the province that allamani incident came, he saw the Sahaba were returning
back from a burial promise that a lot of them asked him what who died. And they said, a messenger of
Allah, your daughter to play with your loved one, we just ended up burying her right now.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:22:02
			And that's why I'm smarter the law one could not participate in the Battle of the mother because she
was very ill before the purpose of a lot of sudden left. And he told us man stay behind and watch
after my daughter. And when the purpose of a lot of the returns we have mixed emotions here. Here
the great battle just came to an end. And here practice of law while he was said he was being tested
by his daughter, God alone, being martyred, not martyred. She was she passed away. She passed away
in the month of Ramadan. So that's why some scholars will say she was martyred because the one who
passes away the motherland is also a very lucky person. She passed away in the month of a month. And
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:35
			then in this Ramadan, obviously fasting was already obligated. So many scholars say this horrible
war fighting in the Battle of Baba, they were all they were fasting. Imagine that. What were they
doing with all of that they were, they were fasting. However, some scholars say they were not
fasting so we should give justice to this one opinion is they were fasting. The other opinion is
that they were not fasting because there was little stuff for them. And the last thing is very
similar Milan, that was the first time that a fitted came in in the hobbit they celebrated the fifth
and they give this other fourth and fifth after the after that very similar Milan. So we pray that
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:54
			Allah subhanaw taala gives us an ability to learn lessons from the Battle of Baba and then Allah
subhanahu wa tada gives the Muslim Ummah victory on this very same day and is very simple Milan, and
that Allah subhanaw taala removes away all the difficulties in the world that Allah subhanaw taala
showers mercy upon all those that are oppressed in the corners of the world. So how to live alone
with a shadow ally and stuff.
