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.
