			I feel absolutely emptied out terms from the time of the companions of the prophets of the Lord when
he has exerted themselves sacrifice themselves to come here
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:48
			how many calls curves welcome back to my channel. I hope this finds you well. Blessed. Where are we
today? Oh, there we go. Another flag hamdulillah we're in Istanbul and I am being a tourist. Today
I'm being taken on a tour of a of salt Han historic region and resting place of a companion of
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. If you like these videos, don't forget to subscribe to the
channel and share for more like this. Let's go and see what he has to offer
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			I feel absolutely emptied out.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:02:03
			We went to the whole year and it is so peaceful. Everything is sort of muted and calm and you feel
like slowing down and just stopping for a while and really considering what it means to be a Muslim
and a believer. And then it's overwhelming really to consider the closeness of a Oberland sorry to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I mean, sure you know the Hadith the story of how did the
Prophet peace be upon him come to live with colored bin Zaid, a ballad scenario, how how because his
camel led him to his house and just wouldn't move when he got outside. And it was Bedouin tradition,
at the time that if the person is supposed to stop outside your home, your dwelling from a horse or
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:20
			a donkey or a camel, the first person to reach their saddle and taken inside had the honor of
hosting them. And the beautiful, incredible brave man who's buried here hosted our Prophet peace be
upon him for seven months.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:03:19
			So how do we know that? Are you well, I'm sorry, is actually buried here? Well, it's an incredible
story of enlightenment and mystery. Actually, his grave was lost or unknown for hundreds of years.
Until fatti mathematic Rahim Allah remember, the 20 year old conqueror of Constantinople, he wanted
to find out where it was, it became something that was really important to him. And remember, this
21 year old leader he was he was an inner reflective, he was always thinking about the dean, and his
guide was at shamsudeen. Mathematics, you can see one of my other videos. And so they came to a
region not far from this, perhaps this area, and they were looking and trying to find it for days,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:04:04
			but they couldn't, they couldn't see anywhere that might be the grade available. And sorry, the
truth has it because we have a an Esna the chain that we trust when Muslims say things to each
other. So the isnaad of the story is this x shamsudeen Rahim Allah, he fell asleep on the ground,
and he had a dream of exactly where the burial place was available. And sorry, and so he got up and
he put his stuff in the ground. And he said, This is the precise spot where he was buried, and then
he went to make wudu. Now remember all of this area, it just would have been grass. Nothing for
miles and miles a hillside one was making with the young Mathematik fatti Rahim Allah, a believer
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:40
			but a young man nonetheless wanted to be sure wanted to somehow find out is this a true dream from
Allah to Allah or dream from Shaytaan a misleading dream. So he took the staff out of the ground and
moved it a good distance away when the share came back from making with who he looked and he said
someone has moved my staff, and he put it back in exactly the same spot. And then they began
digging, and they found they found the burial place and one of the best friends and companions were
best friends of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam fully intact Subhan Allah.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:59
			To honor the resting place of the great friend of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Sultan
Muhammad the second commissioned a grand tomb and a vast complex, typical of the Islamic tradition.
The Ayoub salt and mosque and Molson the was made as a place to feed the poor as well.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:46
			The Mosque has two separate courtyards, one with a place for withyou and the other which has an
ancient sycamore tree in it. At the point where a lot of royal ceremonies were held in true Islamic
style. The place has always fed the poor and the worshipers on Fridays and in Ramadan. The animals I
noticed are especially spoiled here with seriously friendly cats demanding cuddles every time I sat
down. It's a nice thing to watch the pigeons, barfing and specially made birdbaths around the
fountains and incredible to think that after the three Holy Mosques of Islam, including a laksa
compound in Jerusalem, Palestine, that this is one of the most love places of faith to visit for us
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:30
			Muslims. I really recommend you come in April or October, spring or autumn to get the full effect of
the peace that is so present here. This is Abu Are you the namesake Mashallah. And he's been guiding
us today SubhanAllah. We're about to do his era. And there's a lot of fear sometimes for us as
Muslims going to places where our saints and our special ones and companions are buried. What do you
have to say on the topic of ZR and why are we here today? Right? No, zyada is Masha Allah. It's a
very, very beautiful, beautiful tradition of ours and was something that was encouraged by the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, he encourages Yara for the sake of remembrance of death primarily
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:46
			for the remembrance of death, but also for a means for us to reflect on our own lives to better
ourselves as Muslims, and then also take many of the lessons that we can learn from those pious
before us, you know, the pious predecessors.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:13
			Just found this tiny place just outside the courtyard, it's the most complex, and this is whole
other level. There's a lot of British stuffing in Turkey. But you could come to a Salton redrum
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			or have to try this was this whole other level, I'd recommend the one to spinach in
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:29
			and these simple places. Don't go for flashy places. Always go a little bit off the beaten track.
Hit Miss Hamdulillah this one is a miss.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			Actually, it's a hit.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			What's missing is my brain.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:08:30
			I cried a lot during my visit to this incredible mosque complex, it is so profoundly peaceful and
moving. To be near a companion, a friend of the Prophet peace be upon him. You really must go. It's
a wonderful place, be spiritual in the morning, and then take your family out in the afternoon. I
think the Turks have done a brilliant job of maintaining this as a place of visitation for faith
reasons and also to keep families connected to the burial place of Ayub and sorry, Rahim Allah. If
