The life of Sa’ad Ibne Abi Waqqas R.A #01

From time to time we talk about contemporary issues in order to educate ourselves regarding that particular issue, but we do also talk about the companions of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in order to encourage ourselves in order to motivate ourselves, because those are role models, right? So today I decided to speak about one such companion, who was very close to the Prophet of Allah. He was dearly loved by Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was amongst the 10, who were given the glad tidings of entering into Jannah in one gathering. He was 23 to 24 years younger than Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, yet, he was the uncle, the

maternal uncle of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he is that companion, who was the last one to leave the world from amongst the 10 who are given glad tidings of entering into Jannah in one gathering, and this man is none other than sad, ignorant of your costs are the Allahu Taala Have you heard of this name before? 100 Sodre the Allahu taala? And who have you heard of this name before? You've heard? Mashallah, is there anyone with the name sad in this gathering? Does anyone have this name sad in this gathering? No one, it means that especially the young people who just got married, if there is a child coming on the way, you better after listening to what I'm

about to say for the next 15 minutes, you better name your child Saad, because he was a very amazing companion of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Did you know that Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam upon one occasion, told the other companions that is there anyone of you? Who has an uncle, like my uncle, 100 Saudi Allahu taala. And that is how much Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam loved him. And the way he accepted Islam is amazing. You know, normally, us when we go to sleep, and when we see a dream, most of the time, it is our thoughts. It is our conversations. It is our emotions. It is our stress that we see in our dreams. So the next morning,

we want to wake up, and we want to go and change the world, that I saw this in my dream. And this dream could mean this. So let me go and do this. Rather than changing ourselves. We want to start changing the world. What we need to understand about dreams is that whether it is a good dream, or a bad dream, if it is getting us closer to Allah subhanaw taala it is beneficial. If it's a good dream, it is getting you closer to Allah, it's a good thing. If it's a bad dream, it is getting you closer to Allah, it's a good thing. That is what we should be worried about. Nevertheless. So 100 Sodre, the Allahu taala. We were talking about him how he accepted Islam. He goes to sleep. And he

sees in sees in his dream that he is drowning into darkness. And as he's drowning into darkness, a moon came out, and the light of the moon started illuminating the whole place. And under the light of the moon, there was Hadhrat Abu Bakr Hadhrat Ali Radi Allahu Taala and who and heard say that are the Allahu taala. So 100 Saudis mentioning the dream, he says that I tried getting closer to them. But before I could get closer to them, I woke up I wasn't allowed. So when I woke up the next few hours, or the next few days, in the next few days, Hadhrat Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Taala and who came to visit me, we all know about Hadhrat Abu Bakr, he was a man who always liked spreading hair and

goodness, so that Abu Bakr came to meet other Assad. And he said to him, the Rosa, do you know that there is a man who says he is a prophet, and such and such and such a person has accepted Islam, even I have accepted Islam Mossad, you should also accept Islam. So now 100 Sodre, the Allahu Taala and who started recording the dream because the name that Hazrat Abu Bakr Radi Allahu taala. And who mentioned what the same names that he saw in his dream, there was other Italy there was another day there was another backup. So other Assad understood the message of the dream. And he told her that Abu Bakr, that take me to the Prophet of Allah, I want to accept Islam, and he goes to the Prophet

of Allah the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was performing Assad salah, so when the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam was done with his Assad Salah had solder the Allahu Taala and who accepted Islam

at the hands of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now normally,

that happens, even amongst ourselves when a person has to accept Islam. Right when a person has to accept Islam, the first people to oppose him are his own family members. Isn't that what happens? Like we have students we have some students coming in letting it our place. We listen to them, and they share their stories with us when they accept Islam or when they revert the first people to oppose them are the first people to stand against against them or their own family members. They are not there to support
