Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato Bismillah was Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah he was he was sending. We begin by mentioning the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to send his peace and his blessings upon prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam peace be upon him. Brothers and sisters in the previous session, we spoke how in the eighth year after immigration, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam went to conquer the city of Mecca after the people of kurush and their other tribes that joined them in the treaty, if you remember when they breach the covenant when they were treacherous. As a result, the prophet SAW

00:00:40 --> 00:01:23

Selim came to Mecca and conquered it. Now, while the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was in Mecca, there were two tribes not too far from Mecca. However, as an end thief, they were so angry and upset, a Tao Mohammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, this man, according to them, who eight years ago, you ran for your life from Mecca. And now you take over the city of Mecca, the religious capital of Arabia, the aspect of jealousy or the aspect of arrogance, and the aspect of so much pride is a trouble isn't their pride push them to be hostile and vicious, and they did not accept that. And that's a lesson we all have to learn from many times in life, you might have people, your

00:01:23 --> 00:01:58

colleagues or so who started let's say you start in a job at a level higher than your friends and your family. But in the end up growing beyond your level, instead of trying to pull them down. Why don't you and I tried to go up a lot of luck, but I'd actually encourage them and pray for them. And whenever you pray for your brother and sister, the angels pray for you, and the dog comes back to you. So they brothers and sisters did not accept of that. And this is the epitome of arrogance. When is arrogance the epitome of it? is when Allah is saying something the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says something and we reject it after we know it's an authentic narration. That's what

00:01:58 --> 00:02:36

actually means, then we reject it. May Allah protect us from that. And by the way, arrogance and pushing the truth is not just to religious matters. It can be something as simple as the following. Someone is driving. They miss an exit in the highway. The spouse tells them Oh, you missed the exit. And the person recognizes Yes, I did miss the exit. But they say, Oh, no, no, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about it. I got it. I actually there's another exit that leads to a better you know, path. No, you acknowledge your mistake, you acknowledge your shortcoming. Don't be arrogant and push back the truth after you recognize that May Allah keep us humble and accept the truth whenever it

00:02:36 --> 00:03:17

comes to us. Whether it comes from a young person, an adult, Muslim, non Muslim, male and female, so long as the truth has come, may Allah allow you and it accepted me. So with this being said, the leader from horizon started to prepare the army gathered so much so that you might be shocked about this. They gathered the army so much so that they told the soldiers bring your women with you, your mom, your wife, your children, what mom, wife, sister, their children, yes, bring them with you, and bring all of your wealth, if all What they need is one Campbell. And I have seven at home. I'm a wealthy man, I have 710 Why in the world, I had to bring the seven in the 10. And that leader was

00:03:17 --> 00:03:52

asked, Why are you commanding us to bring our women, our children and our wealth. He said, The K your party to do a home so they can all fight and protect them and they will never run away. So that Muslims they come and somehow they beat us and we're dying one after the other, you will not run away, you will fight and protect your wife and you protect your children and your wealth. So one of the elders came to this leader from the enemy from Hawaii and he told them what are you doing? He told them if we lose the battle, we lost everything. And when the battle becomes basically serious, nobody's gonna care about who's around them they're gonna run for their lives. But this man he

00:03:52 --> 00:04:33

insisted upon law once again, wisdom is being brought to you from the elders experience he still rejected that may Allah grant us humbleness and accept lessons that we know inshallah are true and clear to us. May Allah allow us to follow the footsteps of the righteous amenable alameen. But he insisted and his word is what went through. And the soldiers came with their women, children and all of their wealth and there was so much money, you're talking about 24,000 camels. Today's time, I'm getting a just a rough estimate with about $20 million or so of today's time, not just that 40,000 goats in addition to whatever other cattle they brought with them, and they start heading towards a

00:04:33 --> 00:04:59

valley known as her name, the value of what her name. It was approximately 10 miles away from Makkah, and they went there early before the SLM came, when the news came to the Prophet sallallahu wasallam there are two tribes and others trying to join to fight you. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also took his preparations that we remember this is a lie Salah Don't forget me Allah bless you and grant the agenda. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he

00:05:00 --> 00:05:41

sent a scout and that's something we learn from him. Don't like oh, people are saying that Okay, okay, let's react no confirm the news confirm the news. So then he sent someone a scout which he trusts selasa he went got the news jasola it's true, they're gathered. They're very close to us, and they want to fight us with that. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gathered the army. But here's the thing. Remember, in the previous session, how much were the Muslims in terms of the army 10,000 soldiers? Excellent. This now this moment, they are 12,000 How is it 12,000 when they spent approximately 19 days, many of the people have medical courage. When they saw the process of them

00:05:41 --> 00:06:24

coming and forgiveness, he gave too much of them, many of them accepted Islam, actually over them. 2002 1000 of them joined the 10,000 they became 12,000 Allahu Akbar, as beautiful as the number of a sound. Brothers and sisters. There were some of the companions were new to Islam, alright, and their faith is not as strong as others. And some of the younger companions. They belittle the battle, like Allah and Allah. But why? Check this out. They said today, we are the largest army that Muslims have ever gathered that that's true. This is the largest Muslim army ever gathered. So they said we will never lose with such large number of people that are lost. We'll never be to do two numbers, who

00:06:24 --> 00:07:04

heard that the prophets of Allah, He disapproved of such sentence, he disapproved of such conclusion? Because this seems that you guys are relying on Allah. No, it seems that you are relying on your numbers. you're relying on your wealth, you're relying on your capabilities know what successful equation, you take the means. Plus rely on Allah subhanho wa Taala then the victory comes otherwise it's failure brothers and sisters, and what diamond was success. Success in this life? is peace in the heart. May Allah grant it to you. tranquility in the heart and peace in one's life and serenity. May Allah grant it to you and your loved ones. That will only come when we are connected

00:07:04 --> 00:07:41

to Allah subhana wa Tada. This is the good life a lot promises that believers and in the afterlife, Allahu Akbar, success is Jenna, may Allah grant you to be there and May Allah allow me to see you all of my dear beloved brothers and sisters. I mean, it'll be I mean. So with that being said, The Prophet said he heard that he disapproved of this, and some of the younger companions did not take the battle very serious. They were not well equipped. It didn't take much armor with them, or body armor, may Allah protect us and grant us wisdom. And they proceeded towards the Valley of quinine. That was approximately after 19 days of being in Makkah. On the way there something very interesting

00:07:41 --> 00:08:25

happened ready for this. The Prophet sallahu wa sallam as he was leading the army. They passed by a tree, that tree was known as that to unwrap a tree of a lot of branches. Okay, what's so special that you're telling us about the tree? This tree, the polytheists, the pagans, those who don't worship Allah, they used to seek blessings from the tree. So they used to hang their swords on it, getting blessings maybe they'll fight better next day or so, you know these to sacrifice their cattle for the tree getting blessings from it. So much of the new Muslims in the Muslim army, what the prophets as a lump, they said yeah, so Allah, on messenger of Allah insha Allah that to make for

00:08:25 --> 00:09:09

us a tree with branches just set out the pagans have it so we can have one basically we can benefit from and so on and so forth. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, sapan Allah, Allah is free from any need, Allah is free from any partners. And in another narration, he said, Well, Allahu Akbar, and Allah is greater than everything and anything. Then he said, what you guys are asking for is very similar. Pay attention, very similar to what children of Israel asked Prophet Moses back in the day, there is similar requests. And the prophet SAW said he quotes the two verses, which Moosa his role model, told the companions of his local, he said, in common touch on what you said, his

00:09:09 --> 00:09:47

ignorance, what you said is missing. That's misinformation. So watch what you ask for. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he quoted the other verse in which he says, In Mutambara mumfie, that these people who follow these things are in a miserable state. Don't think there's actually blessings from the stream. Then he says, What about illuma? Can we imagine? And all the time they're spending, all the money they're spending is all gone to waste? This does not benefit. Did you pay attention to something that the prophet SAW said and tell anyone, all of you have disbelieved? All of you became kuffaar. Did he say that? He said, I want everybody who said the tree

00:09:47 --> 00:09:59

to get the blessings from it. Everybody follow me and say I shall do Allah. No, he did not throw that label at them. Oh, you all became kuffaar and you have to be very watchful. These people said it out of ignorance.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:38

commented Hello new ignorant about this situation. With that being said brothers and sisters, I warn you with absolutely any stressing on this point, avoid throwing the label on your brothers and sisters. She's a Catholic. He's a Kaffir. You see what he said about this hadith? He said always relax, and sometimes we're excited. Yes, they have committed go for that you should be entertained when someone says a statement of this belief, and you have to be watchful and understand why did they say that? And after explaining to them a brother I already explained to them and they don't seem like they want to apply what I said. So as a result, okay, relax. You explained it to them.

00:10:38 --> 00:11:05

Great job. But did they understand that they understand the panel much Don't rush? As our teachers, they tell us, Allah subhanho wa Taala will not ask you will not ask you. Why did you not tell your brother he's a catheter or your sister, she's a catheter? No. Rather Allah will ask you why did you label them that they're a foreigner and so on and so forth. Listen to the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam authentic narration. He says a human Rosalyn, any man or woman

00:11:07 --> 00:11:46

and tells their brother or sister ready for this whoever tells their brother or sister? Yeah, can you cancer disbeliever for the bad Abby has a huduma then the professor Sam said, then one of you is a Katherine. What does that mean? If you miss labeled your brother and sister? And you said, Yeah, Katherine, or your character to the sister and you were wrong, then it goes back to you and you become the captain? Is it worth it? When it's absolutely necessary, that you have to throw the label and you're fully aware and educated that what they're doing and what they're saying is something that warns them that they're outside the fold of Islam Cola, they left it and not saying it out of

00:11:46 --> 00:12:22

ignorance, not saying it out of fear or there's a gun pointed at them. May Allah make us not hasty. And may Allah make you an AI a source of wisdom I have to stress on this point, the Prophet sallahu wa sallam. After that discussion, he advised them, this has no benefit. Allah does not need no partner or some sort of association and all the money and the time that we spent putting. So that's all waste of time and money. May Allah protect us And forgive us. So next time, maybe your father your mother does something like that, take it easy on the Mullah. We know people have committed they said that my parents became kuffaar Why? Because they tossed check this out. They tossed a quarter

00:12:22 --> 00:12:39

25 cents into our pond of water and they made a wish. And that's it. You're a Kaffir you know what it means when you say that you strip that individual from all the rights of the Muslim that all the rights are Muslim has over the other is gone because of that statement. May Allah protect us. May Allah forgive us Amira.

00:12:40 --> 00:13:19

So let's proceed. headed towards what the Valley of Hernan? Excellent. Now as they're getting there, they arrived late at night. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said men, Yahushua Laila, who will be the one who will protect us who will be the one who is going to serve as a security guard. And one of the harbor His name is ns Abner Abby said in 11 a week. He said, Yeah, I will volunteer to be the security guard. And the main job is what anybody he noticed is coming to the camp that night, you call us you let us know wake up the camp, but you wanted to be very vigilant and let us know basically ahead of time as they're coming towards us. So the night has passed,

00:13:19 --> 00:14:03

passed, passed all the way till dawn and this wonderful man and estradiol and kept his eyes wide open all night till the morning and all what he took breaks were for two reasons short breaks, number one to use the bathroom and number two to pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala. After the task has been accomplished in the next morning, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw and us and he told him he will be earning Jenna Allahu Akbar. Over the few hours he stayed up night watching over the believers. Yes, you are going to earn gentlemen while his heart is still beating. You want that reward? You want it? Check this hadith out for lysandra Allahu alayhi wa sallam said I in and two

00:14:03 --> 00:14:40

eyes let Mr. Herman now two eyes that will never be touched by the Hellfire May Allah protecting your loved ones. So this means that individual two types of people and this headed will not go to Hellfire Who are they? So you and I can do our best to be among them. Number one, I known Becca Shatila and I that cried out of the fear of Allah subhanho wa Taala out of the conscious of Allah subhanho wa Taala someone remembered their sins and their shortcomings and they like your Allah forgive me and the tears basically start flowing on their cheeks. May Allah grant you that reward, that person will not go to Agenda inshallah. But what's the other eye? What ns are they aligned with

00:14:40 --> 00:15:00

it and an eye that stayed up protecting and standing on guard in the cause of Allah subhana wa tada May Allah Subhana Allah reward us. So be watchful. If your eyes are up late at night specially that your eyes are watching that which is halaal that your eyes are doing some something that you go to Alan you're proud of. And if your eyes are my eyes would look

00:15:00 --> 00:15:42

at something that Allah will not be happy about. The NATO lawmakers asked for his forgiveness. And May Allah forgive us and they olymic our eyes cry out of hoping for a loss forgiveness, immutable alanine. And then the prophet SAW said after giving the good news now in the early morning, that day of the battle Bismillah they're headed towards the battle. But I'm gonna tell you something, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and the believers do not know, what is it? That two tribes How was in Turkey and the enemy has plotted a trap? What's a trap, I want you to visualize the following with me writing two mountains. It's a valley between two mountains. It's steep. So the Muslims will come,

00:15:42 --> 00:16:25

let's say from this direction, and going downwards, and the enemy will be in the opposite side. But the thing is not the entire army of the enemy is in the front. Where's the rest hiding on the sides of the valley? Behind rocks, the narrow path is between the mountains they're hiding. And what's the plan? When the Muslims they come come closer, closer, closer, they pop up from both sides and shake them and huge shock against them and start throwing arrows towards the enemy causing panic and chaos. And they're optimistic that they will defeat the prophecy and the believers. So let's go back to the Muslim army. Yes, they're here. They're coming down. In Hadar. It's steep, they're going

00:16:25 --> 00:17:04

down. And now they see the enemy at the front. The ones on the sides have not popped up yet. As you're coming closer, they saw the enemy. Remember, the younger companions, the ones that were not very well equipped, they were so hasty and they are rush, rush towards the enemy to go and fight them and so on and so forth. And they came so close. Some of the companions went as far just from the first beginning of the battle as collecting the cattle. These are all these camels, all of these goats. This is unbelievable. So they can have perhaps a lawnmower that fell for it and they went to collect the war gains. And right then and there, bam, from the both sides, the enemy has puffed up

00:17:04 --> 00:17:43

people what's what's going on, and the arrows were being shot towards them. And some of the believers perhaps got shot. And brothers and sisters at this point, some even marry the husband or the law and he got shot by one of the arrows. And there was panic, and the first ones to retreat were those younger companions that did not take it very serious. And when they retreated back uphill, it was chaotic bumping body to body camels to camel horse, the horse running back up and imagine the dust and the chaos. So much so that one after the other was going back one after the other that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam was shocked. He says yeah, you Hannah's all people

00:17:43 --> 00:18:09

I know yohannes we're in the world are you going oh people, where are you going? And no one is responding. He says Anna Rasulullah I am the messenger of Allah. Basically, I'm still here. I notice through law I'm the Messenger of Allah. No one is looking back. He says no, Mohammed, Abdullah, Mohammed Abdullah, no one is looking back. Everyone is fleeing. And here brothers and sisters to appreciate the sin. Listen to what Allah subhana wa Taala said about it.

a lot of luck with Allah subhanho wa Taala. appreciate this, how Allah says I have given you victories and many battles, and even on the day of her name. And when you're so proud of Agia bet calm You're so proud of your numbers. My numbers are so big. We will never be defeated due to numbers. We got everything. This is the largest army ever the Muslims have ever assembled. What did Allah say? Philip Tony uncom say your numbers didn't benefit you your weapons didn't benefit you your buddy armies didn't benefit you your strength didn't benefit you nothing benefit you and will lie That's true. Nothing will benefit you. Nothing will benefit me. No one will benefit you and I

00:19:37 --> 00:19:59

except Allah subhanho wa Taala when we rely on Allah subhana wa tada and believe in Allah, that is when the true benefit, the most important type of benefit of us help and assistance. Allah serenity that gives our hearts that's the greatest benefit allow our brothers and sisters and they start to retreat. And Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and the earth became so tight after it was vast from away

00:20:00 --> 00:20:44

Later, much better and then you all retreated back. May Allah forgive us and protect us. I mean are the alameen brothers and sisters? How big was the army 12,000 soldiers? How many of the 12,000 remained in the battle? What's your guess? 1010 No, no, not 10,010 out of 12,000 soldiers approximately, and who were they, without the need of me telling you for sure, without a doubt, the most courageous of out of all of them, the bravest of all of them Mohammed alayhi salatu salam was one of the 10 and who else grand companions. So the prophets I seldom go back to the service. Oh my goodness, Bob, and who else from the Sahaba amen have not obeyed 107 is a great companions and in

00:20:44 --> 00:21:29

five members from one family, Allahu Akbar, what family is this? What an honor, I will law. This is a family that we love them for the sake of Allah. This is a family that we seek the closest of a lot towards loving them. We pray for them every single day. This is a debate. The family of the prophet SAW Selim five members and even his uncle Allah does the son of an Abbess and father and who else will Abu sufian yBnL Harris. And what are the item that hides me Allah subhanaw taala suddenly was sending Elena Dino Mohamed Salah le he and his family, I mean, Muslim brothers and sisters, and also academics looking at the sin and he makes dua to Allah. He knows victories in the hands of Allah. So

00:21:29 --> 00:21:34

Mandela, Mandela was sponsored. He came down from his meal and he made to Allah Allahu

00:21:35 --> 00:22:17

Allahu wa salam, O Allah send us your victory Allah send us your victory. right then and there. The Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam on his mule headed towards the enemy. He headed towards the enemy. And he kept saying and and bu laccadive and Abner Abdulmutallab Allah but you feel it. He says, I am a prophet no lie. I am the grandson of Abdulmutallab. I am a prophet no lie and he's headed towards the enemy. And I bet his uncle and his cousin I was offended made harder to try to hold down the mule. Fearing for the prophets, Allah SLM, then the Prophet salaallah alayhi Santos al Abbas, you're a bass call out who the group of people that gave a pledge of allegiance under a tree

00:22:17 --> 00:22:28

called a Samara, there's a tree called a similar two years ago, there were about 1400 companions under that tree. They gave the pledge to fight till death, and we mentioned it in

00:22:29 --> 00:23:11

the treaty. So the Prophet says, Yeah, best call these people. So I best says aina azabu Samara and Allah best may Allah be pleased by him. He was known to a very loud voice, Allahu Akbar, in US harbor Samara. Where are the people that have that tree? Those who gave the pledge that was the title of those who participated. Then they all looked back. They came to their senses. Rasul Allah still there. Then they said, Yeah, Allah byculla Baker Rasul Allah, here we are at your service and they start coming so fast back to the army, Allahu Akbar, one after the other. See, they learned their lesson. Everybody learned their lesson. Didn't say only 10 Muslims. What's the point of me

00:23:11 --> 00:23:50

coming back? No, because it was never about numbers. So they trusted Allah subhanho wa Taala. They're taking the means joining the asylum. And the narration says a lot that says and you're coming back your way a mother runs to go protect her child. That's how the companions felt towards the Prophet sallallahu wasallam running back then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam tala Basha bass called the Mahajan, the immigrants, those who left Mecca back in the day, they sacrifice their wealth, they sacrificed even their assets from the homes just to go join the Prophet call these people. So when I best call them demo Hijri in the Mahajan, and they all came back Yalla bakerella

00:23:50 --> 00:24:27

bakeware. Coming were coming as fast as possible. You know how fast the narration says that if the camel was not going as fast as they wanted, they would jump off the camel and then run and sprint to the SLM. I want you to appreciate this. The camel is like a car. It's like there's a lot of traffic, I have to go to a very important meeting that I leave my car with the keys on and they just leave the highway What if someone steals it? It doesn't matter. That person a meeting is more important and more valuable Allahu Akbar, and they could not wait a single second and that's what the companions did, came back to their senses. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, well,

00:24:27 --> 00:25:00

that's called the unsolved and he called on some of the supporters, the ones who were in Medina and they hosted the refugees or the immigrants that came from Mecca, Allahu Akbar. So they called and he also came here the bacon the bacon that was the grandness of the Sahaba coming back, and he or the tables have turned and now the Muslims are getting stronger and stronger and stronger. They fought so much better than sisters. The fight was so vicious so strong, and I best was looking at this as it was very even we were as we were fighting the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:25:00 --> 00:25:26

Don't forget to Salalah alayhi wa sallam, he looked up and stretched his neck to see the battlefield. Then he says, How are the hain hemiola? Well, this now we're talking this is the real deal. This is the battle now this is the real deal. This is the effort that we want to put, put everything we can and trust Allah subhanho wa Taala brothers and sisters, with that being said, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he grabbed some pebbles from the ground,

00:25:27 --> 00:25:51

looked at the enemy and threw it at the enemy. What's the point of that? He took the means, took the effort. Allah sends his soldiers, Allah sends His miracles, grab the pebbles and he throw it towards the enemy. Alaska says, not a single soldier of the enemy, except that dust entered their eyes could no longer see. Look what Allah subhanho wa Taala says in this beautiful verse. So

00:25:56 --> 00:26:04

Saiki netta hu en su li Meenie

00:26:36 --> 00:26:43

well, long, long food he

00:26:45 --> 00:27:20

brothers and sisters have you heard with a loss of panel with Allah said Allah sent down his peace and tranquility and will lie. That's what will happen to every one of us. When we do our obligations when we do our best to stay away from prohibitions, and when we repent when we ever fall, that lessens the peace of the heart. May Allah send it to all of us. I mean, no but I mean, and right then and there when they relied on Allah subhana wa Taala. And they have put the effort Allah says that I have sent down in addition to the peace and tranquility, soldiers, which you cannot see some of the scholars they said they were the angels of Allah sent to fight. And as a result of loss of

00:27:20 --> 00:28:00

Hannah what Allah said we have defeated basically the disbelievers and that is the payback of those who disbelieved at that time, brothers and sisters and then handed in law, the prophets of Allah Salim, and the believers were victorious, so much so that the enemy started to flee away, they start to go back from where they came from, to go back to other parts in Arabia, they fled away, brothers and sisters, did they take away with them, the cattle they did not as the elder that advise them and if we lose, we lose everything. And once their lives were endangered, they left things behind and they ran away for their life. Brothers and sisters, with the war gains that were left and the

00:28:00 --> 00:28:40

Muslims were victorious and and hamdulillah I pray to Allah that both of us me and you have learned the lesson major lesson from this. Trust Allah put the effort and I know I repeated this this will lie This is the formula of success in this life and the afterlife. May Allah allow you an AI to accomplish it, I mean, the workings 24,000 camels, 40,000 goats and much much more. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam start to give right and left to right and left the people one guy he gave him 100 camels and another 100 camels, some companions specially from kurush especially the new Muslims they got many of the war games to help ease the transition for them to help increase their

00:28:40 --> 00:29:18

faith make things easy on the middle lemic things easier on all of us brothers and sisters so much so when the giving has been taking place and some people still wanted more remember that people's faith are at different levels. Some people really were like shoving around I want more I want this I want that they kept shoving around and elbowing around so much so that the clothing the cloak of the prophets I said um got stuck to a tree. So he says are to Narita Give me back my clothing Give me back my cloak. He said well law he if I had the number of cattle as the number of the tree leaves the see the tree leaves if I had that much of cattle to pass around, I will give it all and you will

00:29:18 --> 00:29:58

not find me stingy you will not find me a coward and you will not find me a liar. Suddenly Allahu alayhi wa sallam as people still some of them still pushed and one Bedouin, you know being a bit, some of them very tough, very, very foreign, firm and harsh. May Allah forgive us. And he came and he grabbed the private sector from his shirt, a Muslim is akia Rasul Allah give me from what Allah has given you. He stretched it so hard. He grabbed the shirt so hard that he left a mark on the neck of the prophets asylum. What some people may do today, this man may not live five more minutes. Basically assign get rid of this guy. What are you doing? Especially now, as I said, I'm being the

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

leader of much of Eric

00:30:00 --> 00:30:33

Maybe the strongest of all of them. But you know what he did? He smiled. I don't know what to tell you. I have to tell you the narration as is and May Allah allow you an eye to follow the footsteps of the past and he smiled. And he told the people give him more, give him more Allah he sort of set up as Allah says, We're in luck Allah Allah Allah and Allah in India Mohammed indeed Mohammed you are you have the greatest of character. May Allah beautify my character and your character, my dear brother and sister me nobody I mean, with that being said, it all get everything like did all the companions get war gains and hamdulillah? No.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:54

There's a group of people that did not get anything brothers and sisters, who are these people, the onsite, the supporters, the ones the original residents of Medina, they participate in the battle, but the president chose not to give them anything. And how did they feel? They got a little bit hurt. Really? Yes. They even said to one another.

00:30:55 --> 00:31:40

May Allah forgive the Prophet? He gave his people he gave kurush what what we are done, but he left us alone. Even though blood is still dripping from our shorts, they said luckier also Elias Assalam Allah, basically the President has now reunited with his family, you know, those from Mexico and so on. Subhan Allah, the creator is the creator and the creation is the creation. No one is perfect. No one is perfect. So the leader of the unsolved set in your bed, he heard that concern from his followers are the ones whom he leads from the unsought and he went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said, Yasuo, Allah, they unsought, the supporters, they are hurt because of you. The

00:31:40 --> 00:32:20

Prophet said female Why, why are they hurt? sadness about that? May Allah be pleased by him? He said, because the way you distributed the war games you gave everybody you gave your tribe you give the other Arab, but you did not give them anything to the answer. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he has said, and how do you feel? So sad said, I am not but a member of my tribe, meaning I also feel the same way. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tel sadden are better, called all of the unsolved into this area this yard. And once they're all collected, and they're seated, or they're there, let me know. So the President basically wants to talk to them. So sad about that,

00:32:20 --> 00:32:57

listen, and they start calling the answer, come here, come here, go to this yard, and they start being gathered. And before we continue, you have to appreciate something, how the Prophet sallallaahu Allison was the type of leader that was showing the people, I am willing to hear criticism, I'm willing to hear your feelings, I'm willing to have the open door policy. And we learn something very profound here. If there is someone that hurts you, someone that is beloved to you, especially if someone that you will deal with on a daily basis or see very often. And even if he saw them once in a lifetime, if they hurt you, you address that with them. You say you know what, the

00:32:57 --> 00:33:31

thing that you did here, and there really kind of hurt me. And you know what, give them a chance to explain themselves. Maybe they said, Oh, I didn't mean it. And well, I went through that one day, I was speaking to someone I really looked up to so much. And I pray for the individual, and they learn a lot from him. And then I was talking to him, and he did something that kind of interrupted me in a way that appeared very, like rude and, and just walked, walked away. And I was like, so confused on what just happened. There's more details to it. Then I got hurt, like so hurt, that I said,

00:33:33 --> 00:33:58

What just happened? And I realized what I should do. Because he's my brother, because he's my teacher because he's my chef. I will go and address that with him. If the sudden are bad, or the line went to the Prophet of Allah, and so Salaam, then I can go to my brother and sister in Sharla. So I went and spoke to the chef. I said, Yeah, I did this, this that such and such happened. And I saw you reacted in that way it kind of came out that

00:33:59 --> 00:34:12

really hurt me. Then he said, Oh, I didn't mean to something very urgent came about and this and such and such. So then it's panel level. I was a witness after this I felt so comfortable at hamdulillah was able to kind of

00:34:13 --> 00:34:54

strengthen that bond once again and not make it weak and not the shape and try to utilize and bank on it. And yeah, he thinks he's better than you. And she says, oh, you're such and such. Now I will do belemnite shadow Rajan. And the bonds were mended when hamdulillah so that's what the prophet SAW Selim. He said, gather everybody and said no better gathered everybody from the ansara. Excellent. So then said about the winter, the prophets of Allah said yada, so he went to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he said, Yasser Allah, the team have gathered the progress Adam came to address the gathering of the answer. He began by praising Allah subhanho wa Taala. Then he said, Yeah, Masha

00:34:54 --> 00:34:59

Allah on sought or unsought when I first came to you, you know about eight years ago

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

Basically when they first came to Medina,

00:35:03 --> 00:35:45

he said, Were you not misguided that Allah guided you? Were you not poor then Allah provided for you. Were you not enemies to one another than Allah reunited you. So they all said Bella Bella, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is making the companions remember the blessings that came upon them. And that's one of the key ways realized scientifically proven. I was reading a research, research matter about this, how one of the best ways to lift up your spirits when you're down, is to think of the blessings you received. Allah Akbar. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told them about these blessings. So they all admitted Bella jasola Yes, yes, yes. And they kept

00:35:45 --> 00:36:26

repeatedly telling the Prophet, we appreciate you. We appreciate Allah subhana wa to Allah. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told the companions, why do you not answer me? Why do you basically not tell me something similar of what I just told you? They said el mundo de la sala all appreciation is to enlighten you or prophet of Allah. You know, we cannot say something like, what can we say? What should we say? No, we're good. There are also a lot. He said, No, you can say stuff just like how I told you and what you say would have been the truth and would be believed. Or ansara. You could have told me told me for the SLM tena, or Mohammed, you came, you came to us,

00:36:26 --> 00:37:10

Taliban for our Why not? You were running away for your life and we gave you shelter. You were poor, and we gave you aid. You were someone who was rejected and denied and we gave you victory. You were scared and worried and we gave you safety. You could have said all of that back to me. They said no delay. What also they all appreciate is to Atlantis profits of asylum. Then the prophets Allah lies and explains how he distributed the war gains. He said, Are you really hurt over a tiny little bit of this temporary worldly life 100 camels is a tiny thing about a million dollars or so. Yes, compared to the reward of the actor, compared to the real blessing in this life. What blessing in

00:37:10 --> 00:37:51

this life is greater than 100 cameras and a million dollars is the blessing of Islam. So the prophets of Allah send me says you're hurt over me giving them some of those who just accepted Islam, to ease the transition for them to help increase their faith and strengthen it. Where I hope that you guys would rely on your faith, you answered with to rely on your faith, your faith is up there, and the private complimented the faith of the answer. And I'm just trying to help the people just accepted Islam to increase their faith. So Pamela, and that's the real deal. That's the biggest blessing May Allah make your last words brother and sister and my last words La ilaha illa Allah,

00:37:51 --> 00:38:28

that is the greatest blessing. Take all the blessings away, may Allah protect us, a miserable enemy. But as an example, if someone cannot hear if someone cannot see if someone has difficulty and pain will lie, the greatest blessing to ease that, to ease that may Allah is all the pain are brothers and sister go through is to remember that at least 100 were Muslim, the greatest blessing of all time will lie. What's the point of having all the money in the world that does not even fit in the pockets when the heart is empty? Whereas people have the hearts are full of faith and align Islam and know this world is temporary, even if the pockets were not as full. May Allah grant you and I

00:38:28 --> 00:39:09

the best of this life and the best of the afterlife, amiable alanine. So in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in addition to that, are you not pleased that these people, our brothers and sisters, would go back to their cities because many of the 12,000 are not really from Medina. So eventually, after the battle, they'll go back to their homes, whatever city they came from, there's many tribes. So the prophet SAW Sam said, Oh, I'm sorry. Would you not be pleased that these people our brothers and sisters would go back to their cities go back to their villages, with cows, with cattle with camels and goats? And you go back to Medina with a messenger of God? Would that not be a

00:39:09 --> 00:39:51

good way of distribution? Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Oh, I'm sorry if it was not for my immigration out have always been one of you on sorry. That's how dear the unsought, were to the heart of our soul life. Salalah SLM then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah Homa IR Hamid Ansari Allahu Akbar, from the Prophet of Allah. Do I supplication from the dearest slave to Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah showerwall Your mercy bless forgive grant all goodness so the answer can be felt they start to cry. They start to cry until their beards became what? And the prophets Allah Sam said, What am Abner alongside and have mercy on the children of the unsolved what

00:39:51 --> 00:40:00

Abner Abner alongside and the grand children of the unsolved then the unsolved were moved by that, by the explanation by that do I buy it

00:40:00 --> 00:40:37

comprehending the properties and they come with a solid Law Center. Medina, they said are the nebula Europa, we are pleased with Allah, our Lord, and with the way the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam distributed the wargames were happy with everything. Then the prophets I send them left and the unsought have left and handled, everything was settled and the bonds strengthened perhaps more than what it was. May Allah allow you and I to be with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, brothers and sisters they realize of the greatest blessings with Islam is to be able to be with a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, them knowing we will go back with a prophet. It's more valuable

00:40:37 --> 00:41:15

than all the hundreds and the camels on the 1000s of the goats and war games. The problem is with us, and you know, you and I can be with a prophet savasana that would be one of the greatest blessings ever engender? But if you truly want to deal with the prophet SAW Selim, following his footsteps, may Allah make it easy for all of us. I mean, Rabbil aalameen you want to know who is the closest to the Prophet and the Day of Judgment ready for this, the closest of us to be to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam as the Prophet taught us, a high cinema or as a newcomer, aka the one with the best character. May Allah beautify my character and your character Amira Bellamy, then

00:41:15 --> 00:41:57

brothers and sisters, as the believers, many of them that answered went back to Medina and everyone went back to their places. Many of the people in Arabia who were not Muslim, came from all over Arabia to Medina wine to embrace Islam. They saw after the Battle of her name, after the conquest of Mecca and other events here and there in the ninth year after migration, leaders, individuals came to Medina to testify. There's no one worthy of worship but Allah and Muhammad the Prophet of Allah, He is a messenger and a slave of God who says nothing but the truth to receive divine revelation. Brothers and sisters. Listen to what Allah subhana wa Taala said about these moments Allahu Akbar

00:41:58 --> 00:42:03

ruville Nina shavon your G

00:42:04 --> 00:42:11

be smelly learn your man Yo, me.

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

No fee will

00:42:32 --> 00:42:35

be handy. Bianca was filled

00:42:37 --> 00:42:38

in.

00:42:45 --> 00:43:22

So brothers and sisters, Allah subhanho wa Taala teaching us here in these beautiful is when the victor of Allah is coming and the conquest and the people are embracing Islam from all over Arabia from all over parts of the world, then we should glorify a lot and seek Allah's forgiveness and Allah accept or repentance, Allahu Akbar, brothers and sisters and people start coming from all over asking for questions. Let me share with you one, one of the people that came, he went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, I want to ask you a question. But I'm very firm, and I'm actually harsh. And I don't want you to take a personal okay. He basically that's my personality,

00:43:23 --> 00:43:58

with a professor of law said let me know what he said. He said is another dennoch ask whatever you want a lot of but I will not take it personal. And this man continued to ask questions, the profits loss and continue to answer and before that conversation ended that man accepted Islam, Allahu Akbar. His character was so captivating his speech was so powerful and motivating that one after the other, we're coming to the Prophet sallahu wa sallam to embrace their Islam and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told the companions, our brothers and sisters to know how to prioritize their calls to Islam. You have to watch out for this one. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam For example,

00:43:58 --> 00:44:37

He told me that I didn't even when you go to teach people, Islam, make sure you start with the following step number one, you teach people about the oneness of Allah, you teach people about La Ilaha, Illa Allah and that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah, that's the first thing you start with. And once they accept that, once they obey that, that Allah is the greatest ally is the creator and Mohammed is Allah, slave and messenger. And you use that information and they believe in that and they testify. Then you go to point number two, which was no which was, pray five daily prayers. The person said, tomorrow I go tell them if they believe in the first one, then Allah has mandated five

00:44:37 --> 00:44:59

daily prayers upon you. If they obey that and they accept that then yeah, more I tell them number three, which is that there is a certain money given from whom to whom taken from the rich amongst you and given to the poor amongst you, Allahu Akbar, you see the priority. You see the prioritization in the Dawa, and how to cultivate Islam. This is not belittling

00:45:00 --> 00:45:36

branches of Islam in any way shape or form. But this is something to appreciate when we talk to people about Islam and so on. Don't take this personal advice follow the footsteps of the Prophet sallallaahu ally it can be a waste of time and resources to address other matters in Islam, about you know, such and such when we leave them, absolute core of La la la la. If we spend so much time telling them for example, the matter of, let's say, the hijab and we spend so much time on attack, okay? They don't even believe in Allah. They don't believe in Allah Subhana status. If you have five minutes, Please allow me to explain to you Allah subhana wa tada and His Prophet Allah So Sarah, and

00:45:36 --> 00:46:17

obviously the matters can be depending on maybe you have a specific conference and so on and so forth. A lot like will Allah grant us wisdom? I mean, but there's something to comprehend. And by the way, this talk about a lot in His Messenger, and believing in this core belief in Islam is not just a topic to non Muslims, no, but also to the Muslims. Look what Allah says in the Quran, Allah says, Yeah, you have levena Amen. Oh you who believe fantastic, are you who believe so they have already are basically believers. Right after that Allah says me No, increase your belief in what? in Allah, His Messenger and the books. So this is a reminder for all of us that we need these topics

00:46:17 --> 00:46:59

about Allah Beautiful Names. We need this topics about the prophets of life. Yes, the branches are important. I will not belittling it. But we need a continuous reminder as Allah told you and I always talk about Allah subhanho wa Taala, the conscious of Allah learn about us power, capability, wisdom, knowledge, the prophet of Mohammed Al salam, and the other prophets and the other books, brothers and sisters, Islam continue to grow all over Arabia, Allahu Akbar. May Allah make your last words and my last word La ilaha illa Allah, and in the 10th year after immigration. After a loss of panels, I revealed the verse where the profits or losses and now needs to fulfill one of the five

00:46:59 --> 00:47:23

pillars of Islam, which is how much he makes the intention to go to Hajj in the 10th year after immigration. 1000s of people want to join the Prophet sallallahu sallam, how was his hedge like, how did things go? What profound speeches did he give all of that inshallah we will discuss in the next session? May Allah bless you May Allah protect you Zack mallow halen was Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
