			Right along without harshness, and usually, a little bit of harshness comes in. When you have a
close relationship with somebody, you get the friendship with someone where you can tell him
straight and he doesn't take offense. Well, he can tell you something straight and you don't take
offense. When you have this kind of relationship with someone. You don't always have to be over
soft. Sometimes you can tell that person to your face. You are one. And this is a very beautiful
story about this in the serum. It's actually a very fascinating story because this is the only story
I know of. We eat. He is responsible for someone becoming a Sahabi. Someone who never met the
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:47
			prophets law you saw them and became a Muslim was responsible for someone becoming a Sahabi. How do
we go to the story of Joshua
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:05
			the joshy or ask him a regular aunt who was the king of Ethiopia at the time of Rasulullah
sallallahu it he was Silla, Ethiopia at that time was a Christian Kingdom hub Chateau Abyssinia
right it was a Christian kingdom and he was
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:48
			interested secretly at the hands of Jacqueline even Vitaly Raji lava. Now the joshy has a very close
friendship with one of the leaders of Makkah amor, even us and our eternal as you may remember him
from the story, where when jack or any Sahaba moved to to Ethiopia to have to Abyssinia. The Qureshi
said, I'm going to try and persuade the joshy to send the Sahaba back. And most of us know that
story. But this is a lesser known story, a very beautiful story that takes place over 10 years
later.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:37
			So in the early part of the serum, the Sahaba had to run away from Makkah to Abyssinia to escape the
carnage. Over 10 years later, the table's turned and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in
Medina is growing in power, and I'm even on are still in Makkah, still not a Muslim. He tells his
friends that listen, Muhammad is going to take over this leg. So let us go to Abyssinia should we
can escaping and live safely under the assumption. He doesn't know that Josh is a Muslim because he
secretly Muslim. So the same man who Sahaba were running away from to ever Sr. is now running away
from the Sahaba jealousy and so on even as he leaves Makkah, and he flees to Abyssinia, where he
		
00:02:37 --> 00:03:04
			goes to the court of Natasha and the judge is a close friend of his they have a very close
relationship. In fact, in the joshy was even friends with his father. So this is like a very close
friendship between the two. And when he enters the courtroom, the judge he sees one of the Sahaba
and that's the hobby had killed some of our most relatives in one of the early battles. So not
knowing that Niger actually is a Muslim Ummah, even asked tells him, he asked him He says, Can I
kill this guy? Can I have a junior? Can I can I get my revenge on him.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:17
			And Josh, he gets angry. Among reading the story said he could see anger in the face of the Joshua
and the judge, he gets up. And according to some of the regions he slept,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:26
			for, he pokes him in the chest, and he tells you what is wrong with you. This man was sent from the
man who received revelation from Allah.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:34
			And at that moment, Mr. Ignace realizes two things. Number one, he realizes that Joshua is a Muslim.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:46
			Number two, he realizes that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam is truly profitable. Because here
is a man in another continent. It came of the distant land,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:55
			calling Allah who grew up in the same city as the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam, that that man
from your city is a prophet.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:37
			And our energy actually had this close relationship that he knows that Joshua doesn't lie. He knows
that Josh is a sincere person. He knows that Joshua is a truthful person. He knows that Joshua will
follow the truth no matter what. And so for someone like Josh to get angry with him about the truth,
and to wake him up, and to tell him straight to his face, what is wrong with you? How can you not
recognize Islam as a truth by now, that was enough, and there and there on that spot, our even our
Ask, takes his Shahada and converts to Islam at the hands of Natasha, a hobby because became a
Muslim at the hands of someone who never met the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. But the lesson
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:59
			here related to Tao is that for every rule, there is an exception, the rule, be gentle in your
tower, the exception when you know it will work when there's wisdom behind it. Sometimes it's better
to eat, it's fine to be a little more black as an agenda wasn't even on us. He was a little bit more
black. He was a bit more straightforward because he knows he had the close relationship with the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			Joshua, I want to listen to him, and so on even on us returns to Makkah, he meets Holly even worried
on the way to Medina, they both enter Medina together, they both accept Islam at the hands of the
prophets alongside together to receive the honor to the Shahada twice, first with the junction and
deal with the progress along the western and he to become the great commander of the Muslim army. In
fact, he is the one who then goes to Africa and conquer Egypt. And he's the one who come to
Jerusalem, and these great lands became part of the Muslim world through his efforts. But it all
goes back to that moment, when his friend told him straight to his face, what is wrong with you, how
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:14
			have you not recognized that should by now. So there's a time and a place for everything. Our
general personalities should be a personality of gentleness, but sometimes when he calls for it,
sometimes it is fine to be a little bit more harsh, but only when wisdom demands it. And we all need
to learn wisdom before we start being harsh. Otherwise we end up doing it in the wrong time with the
wrong person in the wrong way. And we end up causing a lot more damage to me or guidance or the
people of our guidance or to be a means of guidance to others makers from those who represent this
religion. Everything we do and everything we say aloha agenda had your Monday alum agenda had your
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			Monday on the agenda howdy My dear.
