			Why did the prophets Allah wa sallam specifically choose the city of uplift to give Dawa to Allah
Muslim Institute presents q&a with Gamal el mekki. Most people think well, I thought it was close.
That's why. But that's not very strategic. The problem Selim didn't just choose a type because it
was close. But there was some other reasons. And once you learn them, you see how the problem was
strategy to pick apart. For one, it was the second largest city in the area. So yes, it was close,
but it was also the second largest city in the area. And if a large city comes into Islam, that
means a lot more than a small village coming into Islam. All right, third point. But I've had a
		
00:00:35 --> 00:01:14
			great place in the heart of the Meccans already and there's proof from the Quran from Allah azza wa
jal says, we'll call Lola Zilla hodel Carano, Allah Raji liminal Korea think of him. They said if
this Quran, it should have been revealed to a great man from one of the two cities, these are the
Mexican saying it should have been revealed to a great man from either Mecca, or applies. What did
they pick up both because they thought highly of a pipe. That's another reason. Third reason, many
of the powerful tribes from Mecca had actually a lot of property in a place. So better Hashem had
property in many of the shops, Burma, zoom, all of them they own land and property in life. So if a
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:54
			thought comes into Islam, then that would be a severe blow to these leaders of the Meccans. Then
there are also other reasons, there was competition between mecanica besides the respect, there was
competition, and Mecca, had the Kaaba. And that's how they gathered and attracted attention. But a
thought if had the goddess a lot, and a lot was the specifically the goddess of a pipe. So now if
there's already competition between them, and now a prophet comes to them, that's more of an
incentive for them to accept that Prophet, because that way they can get a leg up over Mecca. So
it's strategies not just coincidence, one more reason, I've had the powerful tribe of the thief, and
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:21
			this tribe is so powerful and so large that later on that Muslims besieged that life for one month,
and they still couldn't conquer it and then five came to Islam by themselves. So that's why the
person who chose applied it was strategy it was planning and and not just because I was close by and
that's the difference between when you know the details behind the CETA versus we just know the
information and that's what we're going to be doing in this course, does it rose with commander
