The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's army divided into three sectors and was eventually fired by the enemy. The Prophet's visit to Mecca was a blessing for Islam, and he recites the victory of Allah and gives the keys to the Kaaba to his mother. The Prophet's actions, including his actions towards his brother and his own children, were discussed, including his actions towards his own children and his actions towards his own parents. The importance of forgiveness and tolerance for evil behavior in Islam is emphasized, and the need for individuals to not promote their idols and shower their religion is emphasized.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Last week, we started looking at
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			the great event, one of the most important
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			events in the Seerah of the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			Alaihi Wasallam, and that is fath Mecca, the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			conquest of Mecca.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			And so we started with
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			the letter
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			of
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			the great companion
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			Halpib
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			radiAllahu an.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			In which he made this mistake
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			and so he sent a letter to Mecca
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:10
			to warn
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			the people of Mecca of the plans of
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			And then we went through
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			the preparations made by Rasulullah hu sallallahu alaihi
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			wa sallam,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			and marching out to Mecca.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			And what took place on the way,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			including
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			the Islam
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			of Abu Sufyan.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			And the last thing that we had mentioned
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			was that Abu Sufyan,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			after he saw the Muslims and he saw
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			their massive army and their strength,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			he went back to Mecca
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			and he told everyone of what he had
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			seen.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			And he told them, We do not stand
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			a chance.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			And he conveyed to them the message of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			Rasulullah
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			That whoever enters the home of Abu Sufyan
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			is safe, whoever
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			closes his door is safe, and whoever enters
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			the masjid
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			is safe.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			And so and so now Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			Wasallam
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			started preparing his army
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			to enter
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			Mecca.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			He did this by dividing the army
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			into
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			3.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			And so he appointed
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Khalid
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			ibn al Walid radiAllahu anhu to
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			lead the right flank
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			of the army,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			and he would enter
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			Mecca from one side.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			And he appointed
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			Az Zubir ibn al Awam
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			radiAllahu an'am to lead
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			the left flank.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			And he would enter from another side.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			And he appointed Abu Rabaydah ibnujarah
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			radiawaghunhan to lead
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			the infantry.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			he then called on Abu Hurayrah radiAllahu An
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			to
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			summon the Ansar.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			And when they came running
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			to him, he said,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			O Ansar,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			do you see the Ubash of Quraysh?
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			The Ubash of Quraysh
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			refers to
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			various tribes that Quraysh
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			had hired
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			to fight
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			the Muslims on this day.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			And so they made a deal with them.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Quraysh made a deal with them. They said
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			that if they would defeat the Muslims,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			then
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			Quraysh would take the booty with them, the
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			spoils of the war.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			But if they lost
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			then Quraysh had made a plan
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			to sign
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			a treaty
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			with the Muslims
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			or to surrender
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			and pay some form of tax that would
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			allow them to stay in Mecca without being
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			harmed.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			So what did the Ansar say to the
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam when he asked them,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			do you see the Obash of Quraysh?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			They said, yes.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			So the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, when
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			you meet them tomorrow,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			look to exterminate them. When you meet when
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			you meet them tomorrow,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			fight them and kill them.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			Then Rasulullah
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			Sallallahu
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			Alaihi Wasallam ordered
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			Zubair ibn al Awan radiAllahu anaim
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			to lead the Muhajirun
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			and their horsemen
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			to enter Mecca
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			from a place known as Kidar.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			And this is also
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			the side that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			sallam entered from.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			And it was the uppermost part of Mecca.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			And he told him to plant his banner
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			at a place called Al Khudun.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			And he told him not to move from
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			there until he received further instructions.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			As for Khalid ibn Walid,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam ordered him
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			to enter Mecca
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			from its lower most point
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			and to plant his flag
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			beside
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			the first houses that he came across.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:22
			Now,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			we previously mentioned
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			that
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			wanted to avoid as much bloodshed in Mecca
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			as possible.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			He was not planning to fight
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			even though he was well equipped and well
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			prepared for that.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			But the only reason he
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			brought with him weapons and an army
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			was in case
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			he faced resistance.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			Otherwise, he was not planning on
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			starting the fight.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			And so he gave instructions
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			to
		
00:05:59 --> 00:05:59
			his army
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			to not initiate a fight
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			but instead to only fight those
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			who fight you.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:08
			Any resistance
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			that they met, they were told to fight.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			And we see the example of that
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			when the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			told the ansar,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			the abash of Quraysh, those tribes
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			that were hired by Quraysh, they were hired
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			for this specific reason to fight.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			So what did the prophet tell the Ansar,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			when you see them tomorrow, exterminate them.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:29
			Kill them.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			And so now after
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			all these various battalions
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			were given
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			their respective instructions,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			it was time to
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			execute the plan.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			It was a Friday morning,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			and it was the 20th of Ramadan
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			of the 8th year of the hijrah.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			Each battalion,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			they entered
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			Mecca from its four sides
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			at the exact same time.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			And as a result,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Quraysh was not able to even plan
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			to fight back.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			They couldn't even put
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			any form of resistance except that
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			Khalid ibn Walid radiAllahu anhu, he did meet
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			some resistance.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			And so at a place called Al Kandana,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			he was met
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:34
			by a group
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			led by Safwan ibn Umayyah,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Ir Aikirima ibn Abi Jahal,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			and Suhail ibn Amr.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			These were some
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			of the prominent,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			members of Quraysh.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			And so they had some of their men
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			with them and they were planning on,
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:54
			resisting.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			So
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			they fired some arrows.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			In response,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			Khalid ibn Walid ordered his men to attack
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			them.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			And it was only a matter of time,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			only a matter of few minutes before Khalid
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			Radhiu Waghuhan and his men put an end
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			to that resistance,
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			forcing
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			the enemy to leave their positions
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			and run for their lives. And they even
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			killed,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			many of them.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			So this was how the Muslims
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			entered Mecca.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			Barely any resistance
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:35
			except for
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			that resistance that we mentioned.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			But how about Rasulullah
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			How did he enter?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:49
			Firstly,
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			Alaihi Wasallam did not enter Mecca in Ihram
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			nor did any of the Muslims
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			because they had not come for Hajj or
		
00:08:59 --> 00:08:59
			Umrah.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			Otherwise, the rule is,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says, no
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			one is allowed to enter
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			the haram except in a state of haram.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			But he did not come for that purpose,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			rather he had come to conquer it.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			And so it's mentioned that he was wearing
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			a war helmet
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			and then later on,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			he had a black turban
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			that he was wearing as he entered
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			Mecca.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			And he entered in a very humble way.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			He lowered his head so much
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			that his chin almost touched the middle part
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			of his saddle.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			And as he was entering Mecca,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			he was reciting Suratul Fatiha.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			And so what was he doing?
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			Suratul Fati tells us
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			of the victory of Allah.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			And if you recall Suratul Fati was revealed
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:01
			right after
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			Surah Al Hudaybiyah.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			That peace treaty
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			that the Muslims had entered into, and they
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			thought that they were defeated,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			that they were humiliated on that day. But
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			Allah told them, no.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			This is a great victory.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			And now
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			this
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			is the victory of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			materializing
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			on the day of
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:26
			Fatiha,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			of Makkah.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			So the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was reciting
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			Surat Al Fatiha.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			And so what he was doing
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			was he was thanking Allah
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			for the great blessing of this victory.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			Imagine
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			it was only 8 years earlier
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			that
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			the Prophet
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			and his companions were forced
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			to leave Makkah,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			his beloved hometown.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			And now he was returning with an army
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			of 10,000.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			And so the more he thought about,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			you know, what he was doing, the more
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			he was,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			the more he was thinking about this blessing
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			of Allah, the more he humbled himself
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			to Allah subhanahu
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			Now another thing that is very symbolic about
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			how the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam entered
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			Mecca
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			was that he had someone riding with him
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			behind him.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			Who was that?
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			It wasn't one of the noblemen of Quraysh
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			or of his of his own family.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			But rather it was Usama ibn Zaid
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			Radhiallahu An
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			who was riding with him on the same
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:46
			animal.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			Why was this so symbolic?
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			Usama radhiallahu anhu was the son of the
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			freed slave
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			And so imagine,
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			you know, a son
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			of a freed slave
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			having the honor of riding
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam as he
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			was entering Mecca
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			as a victor,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			as a conqueror,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			and not one of the children of Hashim
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			from Bani Hashim, his own
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			family,
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			or
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			you know, one of the nobles of Quraysh.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:25
			And
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			it's not that they weren't there, they were.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:29
			Right?
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			But the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam did
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			not give them
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			that honor.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam then he made
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			his way to the Kaaba.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			And he made tawaf around it.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			And then he called,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			Rizman
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			ibn Talha
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:56
			to bring
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			the key of the Ka'bah.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			The key of the Ka'bah belonged to
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			a family of Quraysh known as
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			Banu Abd Dhar.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			And
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			Uthman ibn Talha belonged
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			to this family.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:15
			Basically,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			the various duties
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			and responsibilities of Mecca
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			were divided
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			among the various families of Quraysh.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			So for example, Banu Hashim,
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			the family of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			their responsibility
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			was
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			giving food and drink
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			to the pilgrims when they come.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			This was the honor that they had. As
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			for Banu 'Abdu Dar, they had the honor
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			of having the key,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			and holding the key of the Kaaba.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			So Rataman ibn Parha, he was a Muslim,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			and he belonged to this family.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			So
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			he went, the key was with his mother,
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			And she was in Mecca,
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			and initially she refused.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			But then eventually he took the key from
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			her, and he came and gave it to
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			he opened the Kaaba.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			And what did he see?
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			He saw statues,
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			he saw
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			a pigeon made of wood.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			He knocked it down.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			And on the walls of the Kaaba
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:35
			were images
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			of angels
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			of Ibrahim
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			and Ishmael
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			as they were throwing arrows.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			What were these arrows? Basically,
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			this is what Allah refers to in Surat
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			Al Maidah that is something haram. And that
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			is,
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			Which was a bid'ah of
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			the people of Jahiliyyah,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			where
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			if one of them wants to make a
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			decision,
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			he would
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			draw 3 lots.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			And one of them,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			it would
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			be written on it, do it.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			The other would be written on it, don't
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			do it. And the third would be left
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			blank.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			And then they would follow, they would throw
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			these arrows whichever one
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			it turns out to land
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			on, they would choose that.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			And that's how they would make their decisions.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			Obviously, in Islam, that was replaced for us
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			by al istikhara.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			So when Rasulullah Hisallahu Alaihi Wasallam saw that,
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			you know, an image of Ibrahim and Ismail
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			doing this.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			He said,
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			May Allah fight them.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			They knew that neither of them, neither Ibrahim
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			nor Ismail ever drew lots with them.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			Then he ordered Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu an
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			to go into the Kaaba and erase all
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			of these images and clean out the Kaaba
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			of
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			these images and these statues.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			Then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam entered the
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:21
			Kaaba
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			once it was clean of all of these
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			innovations of the people of Jahiliyyah.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			And he went in,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			and he went to each corner.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			And he said, Allahu Akbar, and he prayed.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:38
			Now,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			ibn Umar radiAllahu Han, Abdullah ibn Umar,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			He narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam entered
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:47
			the Kaaba
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			on that day
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			with Usama ibn Zaid,
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:53
			Bilal,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			ibn Rabah, and
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			Arthman ibn Talha.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			And then he closed the door behind him,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			and he remained in there for some time.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			So when they came out, ibn Umar radiAllahu
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:08
			anhu,
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:09
			he rushes
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:10
			to Bilal
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			and asks him what the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			wa sallam did
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			and where he prayed.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			So Bilal, he told him that the Prophet
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had placed
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			2 pillars to his left.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			1 to his right and 3 to his
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			back.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			And then he prayed. Basically,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			at the time the Kaaba
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			was standing on 6 pillars.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			So Birad radiAllahu anhu anhu here, he was
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			trying to explain
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			to,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			ibn Umar where the prophet stood and prayed.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			Now
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			the keys of the Kaaba
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			were in whose hands now?
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			They were in the hands of the Prophet
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			So Ali ibn Abi Talib radiAllahu An,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			being from the family of the Prophet SallAllahu
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			and belonging to Banu Hashim.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			He approaches the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			says, O Messenger of Allah,
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			combine for us the honors
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:19
			of
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			of
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			providing water to the pilgrims, which they were
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			already responsible for.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			Along with holding on to the keys of
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			the Kaaba.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			What did the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam do?
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			Let's first go back to
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			the days when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			sallam was in Makkah.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			In the early days of Islam.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			One day, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			approached
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			Uthman ibn Palha,
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			who was not a Muslim at that time.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			And he had asked him for the key
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:00
			of the Kaaba.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			He wanted to enter to pray.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			And Uthman refused
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			with some really harsh words and some mean
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			words.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			Remember he was a kafir.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			And so
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			here was an opportunity
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			for the Prophet
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			to take revenge,
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			to confiscate the keys from him
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			and keep it with himself.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			Like Ali radiAllahu anhu was suggesting.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			As for Uthman
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			ibn Talha,
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			he probably did not expect
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to even return
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			the keys to him
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			because of
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			what he did back then.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			But the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			he looked out Uthman,
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:50
			and
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			he said, O Uthman,
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			perhaps you see that this key
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			is in my hand today and that I
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			may give it to whomever I wish.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			Uthman he said, Indeed
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			Quraysh have been annihilated
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			and humiliated today.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, No.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			Today Quraysh have become prosperous and strong.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			Then the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam handed
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			him over the key. He gave it back
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:21
			to him.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			And he said,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			Take your key, O Uthman.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			For today is a day
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:28
			of righteousness,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:30
			a day
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			of piety,
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			and a day
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			of loyalty.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			Take it forever
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			and no one will take it from you
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			except
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			for a wrongdoer,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			except for a tyrant.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			And so the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			saying
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			that, Today is a day
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			of basically
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			upholding
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			our loyalties.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			We're not gonna break
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			anything that we were entrusted with.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:13
			And we're gonna uphold whatever loyalties we had
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:13
			before
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			Even if it be against our enemies.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			And so that's why
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			the key of the Ka'bah is still in
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			the hands of the descendants
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			of the earth man, ibn Talha radiAllahu an
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			until this very day.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			And they are called Banu Shaaybah, the family
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			that holds on to the key of the
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			Kaaba
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			until this very day. Passed down from father
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			to son.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			Then the Prophet
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			riding on his animal,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			he went
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			around the Kaaba
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			holding on to his bow.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			In another narration mentioning that he was holding
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			on to a stick,
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			and he was pointing to all of the
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:01
			idols
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			that were
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			around the Kaaba,
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			And he would strike them.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			Some narrations mentioned that he would only point
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			at them and they would fall down.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			But other narrations mentioned he would hit them
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			and
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			they would fall down. All the while he
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			was reciting
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			the ayah,
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			And say,
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			The truth has come
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			and falsehood has vanished. Indeed falsehood is bound
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			to vanish.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			The truth has come. That's it.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			The word of Allah,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:49
			Kalimatullah,
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			is superior on this day,
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:53
			defeating
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			all and all falsehood.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			And there were a total of 3 360
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			idols
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			on and around the Kaaba.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had all
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			of them destroyed.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			And he was doing this
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			while the people of Mecca were watching on.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			These glorified
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:20
			idols
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23
			that held,
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			that were considered sacred
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			in the eyes of these people were destroyed
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:33
			one
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			after the other.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			And so this was a very monumental moment
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			symbolizing
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:41
			the end
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			of the religion of these people
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			and
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			the prevalence of Islam.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			Islam prevailing.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			And so they were watching
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			as
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			these gods of theirs
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			that they had been here for centuries
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			were falling down and breaking into pieces.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			Smashed by the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			Wasallam.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			Now the symbolic the symbolism of this day,
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			you know, all of
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			these symbolic
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			features of this day that we're seeing here.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			How the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam entered
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			Mecca.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			You know, having
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			someone like Usama ibn Zayed with him,
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			then entering the Mecca,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			then entering the Kaaba,
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			and now smashing all of these idols.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			It didn't end there.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			Then came a very very
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			monumental moment
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam called
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			on Bilal radiAllahu anhu
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			and told him to climb onto the Kaaba
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			and give the adhan.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			And so
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			his choice for Bilal radiAllahu an
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			and not any of the other companions
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			was to send a message
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			that he was ushering in a new era
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			for Mecca.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			And for all of Arabia,
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			an era,
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			a new era
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			that would see
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			the end of the
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			social
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			fabric and the
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			the way the class system existed
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			among the Arabs.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			How it was based
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:32
			on
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			along tribal lines
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			and racial lines.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			How the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			was bringing all of that down,
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			and how he was pointing out to the
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			fact
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			that from now on,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			any
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			difference is gonna be based not along
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			tribal lines or racial lines or
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			color of the skin
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			or ethnic background,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			but rather
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			it's gonna be based
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			on iman and taqwa.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			Some narrations mentioned that
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			some of the people of Mecca,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			they despise this move of the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			and made very derogatory
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			comments
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			about Bilal radiya waha'an.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:24
			Nonetheless,
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			it was a profound moment.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			And
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			you know some of the salafs they say
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			that the prophet
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			did this intentionally
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			to enrage the kuffar.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			Imagine
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			for Bilal radiAllahu anhu.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			A'ala. It was only 8 to 10 years
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:48
			earlier
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			that he was
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			saying the name of Allah.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			Uhadun Uhad.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			Barely being able to say it
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			while
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			being persecuted
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			and tortured.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			We mentioned his story
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:06
			and how
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			while he was being tortured, he would say,
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:12
			And he mentioned
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			that the reason he was doing that,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			he realized that this makes him even more
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:18
			angry.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			And that's all he wanted to do
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			even though it was increasing
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25
			his pain.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26
			Nonetheless,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:28
			now
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			8 to 10 years later,
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			his voice was much louder than a whisper.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:35
			And
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			it was the only voice that could be
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:38
			heard
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			throughout Mecca
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			as it reverberated throughout the city
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			with the words of the Adan
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			proclaiming the greatness of Allah
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			and the Oneness of Allah.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			Everyone there,
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			Muslim and non Muslim,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			they were hearing these words
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			and they were forced to hear it.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			Then there was another very captivating moment as
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			well.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			had come
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			to Mecca conquering.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			This was after
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			20 years of facing hardship
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			at the hands of the people of Mecca.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			Being persecuted while being in Mecca,
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			and then,
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			you know, fighting wars
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			with them while he was in Madinah.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			Now, on this day,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			when the Prophet
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			had an army of 10,000 men,
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			With one command,
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			his soldiers
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			could have easily
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:47
			executed
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			all of the men.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			Seized their property,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			taken their women as captives.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:00
			As was the case with all other battles
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:00
			and
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:01
			all other
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:03
			conquests
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			where he would conquer a town or a
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:08
			city.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			It was that simple.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:12
			Just
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			with one command, he could have done all
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			of that,
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			but he didn't.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			And so while the people of Mecca
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			were gathered near the Kaaba,
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:24
			waiting
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			to find out their fate.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked them,
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			what do you think
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			I'm gonna do with you today?
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			What do you think I'm gonna do?
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			So
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			the people of Mecca knowing
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			the Prophet
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			very well,
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			knowing his character,
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			what did they respond with? They said,
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			You will do with us what is best.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:57
			You are
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			a noble and generous brother.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			You are a noble
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			and generous nephew.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			Go for you are
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:15
			freed.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			You are all free.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			You are all released.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			And so
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			that is why
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			those who accepted Islam on that day from
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			the people of Nakkah,
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			they were called Aqdulaka.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			The ones who were freed.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			The ones who were released by the Prophet
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			because
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			he liberated them. He freed them.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			If he had given the command for them
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			to be killed,
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			then that's it. They would've ended up in
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			the * fire.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			But the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam released
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			them from the hellfire.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			They gave them that
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			opportunity and so they are referred to as
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			the Those who were freed by the Prophet
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			And so they all accepted Islam
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			after that.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			And so this was the general amnesty,
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			the general pardon
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:19
			that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam declared
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21
			for the people of Makkah on that day.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:23
			However,
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:25
			there was
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:26
			a blacklist.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			There were exceptions.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			And so this blacklist
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:34
			included
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:35
			the
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:36
			names
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:37
			of
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			some
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			8 to
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:41
			14
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			different people of Mecca.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			There's a difference of opinion in terms of
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			who was on this list.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			But those who were on it
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			were Abdullah ibn Khattel,
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:57
			Abdullah ibn Abi Sar,
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			Mirqias ibn Subaba,
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			Al Huayrith ibn Nuqayd,
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:04
			Sarah,
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:05
			Fartana,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:06
			and Arnab.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			Basically 4 men
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			and 3
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:11
			women.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said about
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:17
			them. He gave orders. He said, execute
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			them. He mentioned their names
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			and he said, execute them
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			even if you find them hanging on the
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			curtain of the Kaaba.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			Now why were these people
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			exempted? Why were they excluded
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			from the general
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			amnesty and pardon
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			that the Prophet
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			gave to the people on that day?
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			Each had a reason.
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			So let's look at each one of these
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48
			people, and why the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			sallam put them on this list.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			Abdullah ibn Khattr,
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			he had become a Muslim,
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			and he made hijrah.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			Then the Prophet
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			one day he sent him to collect
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			the sadaqaat and the zakah.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07
			And he left with a man from the
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:08
			Ansar,
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			along with a servant of his.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			So on the way,
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			his servant, he angered him. Basically, he asked
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			him, where is
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			where is my food?
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			And he said, I forgot.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:27
			So, 'Abdullah ibn Khattel, he killed him.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:29
			Now,
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			he knows he's not gonna get away with
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			that. You know, in Islam, there is justice.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			And if he goes back to Madinah,
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam is gonna apply
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			the the hudood, the had punishment,
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			and he's gonna kill him.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			So what did he do? He ran away
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			to Mecca, and he apostated. He left Islam.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			And he had 2 slave girls
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			who he were trained to sing poetry
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58
			insulting the Prophet
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			So it is said that
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06
			he was found hanging on the cloth of
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			the Kaaba,
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			and he was executed on the spot.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			The second
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			was Abdullah ibn Abi Sarih.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			He became Muslim
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			and he would transcribe
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			the Qur'an for the Prophet
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			He would write down the Qur'an.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would recite ayaat
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			and he would write them
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			down. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had different
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			scribes.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			And so
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:38
			he also ran away and he apostated.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			And he would even tell Quraysh
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			that when he would write the Quran for
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			the Prophet
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			he would change the words.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			So when he found out
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			that he was on this blacklist,
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:53
			he
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54
			sought refuge
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58
			with his brother from breastfeeding and that was
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			Uthman ibn Affan
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			radiAllahu wan.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			So he came to Uthman and he sought
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:09
			refuge with him. But Uthman radiAllahu wan took
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			him directly to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			Abdullah ibn Abi Surih, he said,
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19
			O Messenger of Allah, I have come to
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			you to give you my bay'ah
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			to accept Islam.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			did not say a
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			word.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30
			He said it a second time.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam remained
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:34
			silent.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36
			The third
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39
			time the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			Wasallam,
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:41
			he
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:43
			accepted it.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:44
			So he accepted
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			his Islam,
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			and so
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:48
			he was saved.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50
			Now when he left,
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:52
			the Prophet
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			turned to the men who were with him
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			and he asked them, Wasn't there a wise
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			man among you
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			who could have gotten up and just killed
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:03
			him when you saw that
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			I didn't say a word. I was remaining
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			silent.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			The unsolved, they said, O Messenger of Allah,
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12
			why didn't you give us a signal?
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said,
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:20
			A Prophet does not kill by giving signals.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			It's It's not appropriate
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:23
			for a prophet
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			to kill anyone by giving signals.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			In one narration, it mentions that one of
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:32
			the Ansar, he had his hand on his
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			sword.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			He was
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			ready to execute the man.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			He was only waiting for a signal from
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			the Prophet salallahu
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:42
			alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:45
			However,
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49
			it was the Qadr of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:49
			Ta'ala.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			And Allah guides whomever He wills.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			Guidance
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56
			is not in the hands of the Prophet
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			himself.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:03
			Later on, Abdulwa ibn Abi Sarh, he went
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			on to become a good Muslim.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			And it's mentioned
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:09
			that
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			in the khilafa of Umar and Urisman,
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			he he got appointed
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:15
			with
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16
			high positions.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			And then even, you know, his death, he
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			died in sudud.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:24
			And so this shows
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			us that,
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27
			you know, it was Allah who spared his
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			life
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			on that day
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			and guided him to Islam.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			As for Mirkias ibn Subadah,
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			his brother was a Muslim.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:43
			In the battle of Bani al Mustaliq,
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			he was mistakenly
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:46
			killed
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			by a man from the Ansar.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:52
			So his brother was a Muslim,
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:54
			and he was mistakenly killed by
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			a man from the Unsar.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			So Mirkiyas made hijrah from Mecca,
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			and he accepted Islam
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:06
			only to collect the blood money of his
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			brother.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:13
			Because in Islam, there is no
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			dia
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:16
			for
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			mistakenly killing.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			That dia does not go to a kafir.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:23
			So he came showing that he was a
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:25
			Muslim so that he could get the dia.
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:28
			After he received it from the Prophet SallAllahu
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			Alaihi Wasallam, he ran away and he apostated.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			He went back to Makkah.
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			So it is mentioned that when his name
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			came out, he was executed
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:39
			by his cousin.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			As for Al Huayr ibn Uqayd,
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			when the Prophet
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:48
			sent his 2 daughters,
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			Fatima and Zainab
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			to Madillah. This was before
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			the Prophet's Hijra.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			He was sending the Muslims to Madillah.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:01
			And when he sent Fatima and Zaynab, his
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:01
			2 daughters,
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:05
			on the Hijra,
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			this individual,
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			he went to the camel that they were
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			riding on, the 2 of them, and he
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			provoked the camel,
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			causing the camel to come down, causing them
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:17
			to fall off.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:19
			As a result,
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:20
			Zaynab
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			radhiyallahu anha was pregnant, and she had a
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			miscarriage
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:26
			as a result of this.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30
			So this is why the Prophet
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			put him on the list.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:35
			Now it is said that he ran away
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			when he found out that his name was
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:38
			on the blacklist,
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:41
			and then later on he came back,
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43
			embracing Islam, and so he was pardoned.
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			As for the 3 women,
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			Sara, Fartana,
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:50
			and Arnab,
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:53
			they were all slave girls
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			who would sing
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:59
			against the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			2 of them, Fartana and Arnab,
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:05
			were the 2 slave girls of Abdullah ibn
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:05
			Khattr
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			that we just mentioned.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:10
			We mentioned that Abdullah ibn Khattr,
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			he apostated, went back to Mecca and he
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			had these 2 slave girls.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:15
			So
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			these women were on the list
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			because of what?
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			Because of their blasphemy.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24
			Because of how they insulted
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			Rasulullah
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			Now some narrations say that
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			Suratara was executed
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:35
			while Sara and Arnab, they accepted Islam, and
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:38
			they were pardoned. And so they were forgiven.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			So we can see here how
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			everyone who was on this black list
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			were excluded from
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			the afur, the pardon, the amnesty of the
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:52
			Prophet
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			for one of two reasons.
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:57
			Either because
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59
			of their rida,
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			they apostated, they left Islam,
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			or
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			because of their blasphemy.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:07
			Insulting
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:14
			And these two crimes are among those things
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			that are never forgiven in Islam.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			A person is executed for these two reasons.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			He is executed and he has not spared
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:25
			the punishment.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			As opposed to another kafir
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			who's just a normal kafir, he doesn't
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:34
			do these two things, then
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:36
			he deserves
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			some tolerance.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:39
			And so the Prophet
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			he pardoned everyone else,
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:44
			but not those who fell into
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:46
			these two
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:47
			things, either apostasy
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:48
			or
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:49
			blasphemy.
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			Why? What's the reason for that? What's the
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53
			wisdom behind that?
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56
			Because these people are inherently evil.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:57
			And
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00
			if you give them freedom,
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:04
			then they will continue to attack Islam,
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			and to undermine the security
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			of the Muslim state.
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:10
			And so we don't want to give them
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			that opportunity.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			And so these were
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			the events that took place on
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:18
			the day
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:19
			of Fatimaqa,
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			the conquest
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			of Mecca.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			There are a few more things that we
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:25
			will cover
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			concerning what happened on this day in Mecca.
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:30
			We'll
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:31
			mention those remaining,
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:33
			events
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			next week insha'Allah.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			Let's go through some of the lessons that
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:38
			we learned
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:42
			from what we have covered today. The first
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:42
			lesson
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:44
			that we learned,
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			or the first point here is
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:51
			a question of,
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			was Mecca
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:55
			conquered
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:56
			Runwatan
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:58
			by force,
		
00:42:59 --> 00:42:59
			militarily,
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:01
			or Sulhan
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:02
			through negotiations
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			or
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:05
			peacefully.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:07
			There is a difference of opinion among the
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:08
			scholars.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			And so some said it was
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:12
			conquered militarily
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			by force
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			due to the fact that there was some
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:16
			fighting.
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:17
			We mentioned
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:18
			that
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:20
			there was some resistance
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			and that was what Khalid ibn al Walid
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:23
			faced.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:26
			While
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:29
			others, they said that it was conquered
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:30
			peacefully
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:32
			without a fight
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			since
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36
			the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam did not
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			really engage
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:38
			in a battle
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:40
			with his army.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			Nonetheless,
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			the implications
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:45
			of this
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			difference of opinion
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:48
			is
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			where we would have different rulings on
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:53
			what we consider,
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58
			the land and the people
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			who were conquered.
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:03
			And so
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:04
			if
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			a land is conquered by force,
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:09
			In the sharia,
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			everything that belongs to the enemy,
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:14
			it goes into the possession
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:17
			of the Muslims who participated in that battle.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:18
			It becomes gharimah.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:20
			And so this includes
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			the spoils of war,
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:25
			the the land,
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			the homes, the property, the wealth.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			And the people are taken, and the women
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:31
			are taken as slaves.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			But if the land is conquered
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:36
			through surrender
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			and without a fight,
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:40
			and
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:42
			with a peace agreement
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			with the Muslims,
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45
			then the enemy,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			they have right to ownership
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			and they remain free. The Muslims do not
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			take them as captives and
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:54
			they do not become
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:55
			slaves.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			And that is all based on the agreement,
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			the peace agreement.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			And so based on this difference of opinion,
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			we have these two implications.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:10
			And so some scholars say that Mecca was
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:13
			conquered by force, while others say that
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			it was not.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:17
			And Allah knows best.
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:18
			The second lesson
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:19
			is
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:23
			a very valuable lesson in
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:24
			humility
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:26
			and humbleness.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30
			We mentioned how the Prophet
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:35
			he was coming back
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			to Makkah
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			as a conqueror.
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			The same Makkah in which
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44
			he and his companions
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46
			faced opposition,
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:47
			torture,
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:49
			persecution
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			for 13 years.
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56
			The same Mecca that they were forced to
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:57
			leave.
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			And then after years of wars
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:04
			between the Muslims and the same people of
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			Mecca,
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08
			He comes here victorious
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:13
			having gained the upper hand.
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:17
			How do kings and conquerors usually
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:20
			enter?
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			How do they celebrate
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			such a victory?
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:28
			They celebrate it with a lot of pride,
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			with a huge party.
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:33
			They
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			are usually in a state of pride and
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:37
			boasting
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:38
			their achievement,
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:42
			showing off their military might, and subjugating their
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:42
			enemy.
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			But we see how the Prophet
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:49
			entered Mecca victoriously.
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:52
			He entered in a state of humility
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:53
			with humbleness,
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:55
			not in a state of pride
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:57
			and boasting.
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			He did not attribute
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01
			this achievement to himself
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:04
			or to his military might,
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			but rather to Allah
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09
			which is why he was reciting Suratul Fath
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:10
			as we mentioned
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:11
			while entering.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:13
			And so he was
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:14
			attributing
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:16
			the victory to Allah
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:17
			by thanking Him,
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:19
			by praising Him.
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			And so this is only one
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:25
			of many examples of this particular trait
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:26
			of the Prophet
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:29
			And so even though he was who he
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			was,
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:32
			the most beloved
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:35
			of mankind to Allah
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:38
			And he had every right
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:40
			to be proud
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:41
			of that.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:45
			Yet he was also the most humble of
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:45
			mankind.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			And And so he displayed that humbleness throughout
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:48
			his prophethood
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:49
			and we see
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52
			it on this day in which he could
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			have boasted but he did not.
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			Instead he entered in a state of humility
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			and humbleness.
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			And this is what we see
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:02
			continuing among his
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:05
			companions after him, and his khulafa.
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:10
			How did Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu an enter
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:12
			al Quds.
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:15
			He was the conqueror.
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:18
			Al Quds also
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			fell into the hands of the Muslims without
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:21
			a fight,
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:25
			or they surrendered, the people they surrendered.
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			And Umar radiAllahu anhu came all the way
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:29
			from Madira,
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:33
			and he walked into the city barefoot
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:36
			with his servant on the animal.
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:39
			Him dragging the animal entering into
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:40
			the city
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:42
			as a conqueror
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:43
			by entering
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:45
			and following
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:46
			in the footsteps
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:49
			of his role model. And that is
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:55
			The third lesson that we learn is also
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:57
			another lesson from the traits of the Prophet
		
00:48:57 --> 00:48:59
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And that is a lesson
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:00
			in
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			pardoning and forgiving.
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:04
			And so
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:07
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, we mentioned
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09
			that he pardoned and forgave
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			his enemies who had caused
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			him so much trouble,
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:15
			him and his companions
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			for years.
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:23
			And so he let all of them off
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			while having the upper hand
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:29
			and having the ability to take revenge.
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			He did what his brother did.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:35
			Yusuf
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:39
			100 years 100 of years earlier,
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			when he pardoned
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:44
			and he forgave his brothers.
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:46
			When?
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:48
			When he had the upper hand,
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:50
			and he became
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:51
			the minister
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:52
			in Egypt.
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:55
			He had the upper hand,
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:58
			And his brothers came.
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:01
			And they were subjugated. They were humiliated.
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:04
			He could have taken revenge
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:06
			but he didn't.
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:09
			Instead he forgave them. And that's why in
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:09
			one narration,
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:13
			on the day of Fatimaqa,
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:17
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, when he pardoned
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:19
			the people, what did he say to them?
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22
			He used the words of Yusuf alaihi wasalam.
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:23
			He said,
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:28
			There is no
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			admonition, there is no blame upon you on
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:32
			this day.
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:34
			May Allah forgive you.
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:36
			And so this is another
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:38
			trait that Rasulullah
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:40
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam displayed,
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			not only on this day but throughout his
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:43
			life.
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:46
			A quality
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:49
			that we are in dire need of.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:51
			Some of us today,
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			we hold grudges in our hearts
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:58
			against those who do us wrong,
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			and we can never let it go.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:05
			And so the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:08
			he would never hold such feelings in his
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:08
			heart.
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:11
			Why? Because he knew
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:13
			that this is from shaitan.
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			And this is a quality not pleasing to
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:18
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			And so he would pardon and he would
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:22
			forgive.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:24
			And so that's what he did
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:27
			on the day of the conquest of Mecca.
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:29
			After having the upper hand,
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32
			after having the ability to take revenge.
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:34
			But instead,
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:35
			he pardoned
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:38
			all of them. The final lesson that we
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:38
			learned
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:40
			is
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			that there is no tolerance
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46
			on the fundamentals of Islam.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			We see how the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			on the day of
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:53
			the conquest of Mecca,
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:55
			he showed a lot of tolerance
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:57
			to his enemies
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:00
			who had fought him for years.
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:03
			He pardoned them, he let them go.
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			But we also see how he did not
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:08
			show tolerance
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:12
			to something that touched on the very fundamentals
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:14
			and the foundations of Islam.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:15
			And that is
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:17
			shirk
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:19
			and idol worship.
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:21
			And so one of the first things that
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:22
			he did when he entered Mecca, as we
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:23
			mentioned,
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:26
			was that he smashed all of the idols
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:28
			that were in and around the camp,
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:30
			360 idols.
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:33
			He didn't say, well,
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:35
			let's just leave these idols
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:39
			and let the people practice their religion
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:41
			and let us all live,
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:44
			coexist peacefully. He
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:45
			didn't say
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:48
			we should respect these people
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:51
			and their customs and their traditions.
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:54
			You know, we should respect their gods.
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:57
			This is something sensitive. It could hurt their
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:58
			feelings,
		
00:52:59 --> 00:52:59
			right?
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:03
			And so by destroying all of their idols,
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:04
			the Prophet
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:05
			was
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:07
			sending
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:09
			a clear message to everyone
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:10
			that Islam
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:11
			must prevail
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:14
			over all other religions,
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:17
			over all other ideologies.
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:19
			And it can never mix
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:21
			and be
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:22
			equal
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:26
			to all other religions. No. Islam is above.
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:28
			As Allah Subharonahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:29
			says,
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:38
			He is the one who sent His Messenger
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:43
			with the truth and the right guidance
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:48
			to make him manifest, to make him prevail,
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:52
			to make this deen prevail over all other
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:53
			religions.
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:57
			And so if you leave other religions
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:01
			and you don't allow Islam to prevail,
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:02
			then
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:05
			truth is gonna become confused with falsehood.
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:06
			Right?
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:10
			And some people they use the ayah in
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:11
			Suratul Kafirun
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:12
			where Allah says,
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:18
			To you is your religion
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:20
			and to me is mine.
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:23
			They use this to say that, Oh, look
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:24
			at how Islam
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:25
			teaches.
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:28
			It promotes peaceful coexistence
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:31
			and harmony between religions. And we should not
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:31
			say
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:32
			that Islam
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			is superior
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:37
			or dominant over all other religions.
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			Instead, we should find a way to get
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43
			rid of our differences and, you know, bring
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			all of these religions together.
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:49
			Now this is what people are promoting nowadays
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:50
			And unfortunately,
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:51
			Muslims are doing this
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:54
			whether individuals or states.
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:57
			But what these people miss
		
00:54:58 --> 00:54:59
			is
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:02
			that this ayah from Surat Al Kafirun and
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:03
			the entire surah,
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:04
			where was it revealed?
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:07
			It was revealed in Mecca
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:09
			before the hijrah.
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:12
			Then the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:14
			migrates to Madinah.
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:17
			Then after years, he returns to Mecca.
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:19
			And what does he do on the 1st
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:20
			day? He destroys
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:22
			all of the idols
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:25
			on the day that he conquers Mecca.
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:28
			That is sufficient proof
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:31
			that the meaning of this ayah is
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:34
			that after we have told you
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:37
			that this is the truth,
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:40
			and all other religions are false,
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			then it's up to you
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:45
			to either follow Islam or
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:48
			to stay upon your religion. But we are
		
00:55:48 --> 00:55:50
			not gonna allow you
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:53
			to openly
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:56
			promote your idols and your idol worship.
		
00:55:57 --> 00:55:59
			No. There's never gonna be
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:02
			2 religions that are going to remain equal.
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:04
			One religion has to be dominant over the
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:06
			other, and that is Islam.
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:10
			And so whenever Muslims go
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:12
			to conquer any land, this is one of
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14
			the first things that they should do,
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:15
			to destroy
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:17
			the idols of these people.
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:20
			And obviously, there are rules in Islam
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:21
			concerning
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24
			the difference between the kuffar. And so there
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:26
			is a difference between Ahlul Kitab
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:27
			and the Mushrikoon.
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:31
			And so Ahlul Kitab, the Jews and the
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:33
			Christians who have scripture,
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:35
			they are dealt with in a different way
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:38
			if the Muslims come and invade their land.
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:40
			As opposed to the mushrikoon,
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:43
			the idol worshipers and those who worship other
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:43
			gods,
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:46
			they are to be killed unless they accept
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:46
			Islam.
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:50
			As for Uhlul Kitab, then they are given
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:50
			the choice
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53
			to remain upon their religion if they pay
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:54
			the jizya.
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:55
			But that's a a different,
		
00:56:56 --> 00:56:57
			topic and discussion,
		
00:56:58 --> 00:56:59
			altogether.
		
00:56:59 --> 00:57:01
			The point here is that when it comes
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:03
			to the fundamentals of our deen, the foundation,
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:07
			and shirk, there's no tolerance.
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:08
			There's no tolerance.
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:10
			There's no room for compromise.
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:13
			And this is what we learn from what
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:14
			the Prophet
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:18
			did on the day that he entered Mecca.
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20
			And with that, we come to the end
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:21
			of this session.
