And she calls her
copy control.
The Prophet sallallahu
abus from this world, he explained three things that are made to led
to him. One, woman, two, perfume and three. He sent full one to any
full one for any the comfort of my
eye is in Salah, the Prophet
sallallahu Abu Asmaa, brought together women, perfume and solo.
As
Bennett mentioned that the reason the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
salam mentioned women was because he sought special comfort in
women. So Allah
AJ, when his mother passed away, om Amen, his second mother was
there to come
from him when his uncle was the one who took care of him after his
grandfather passed away, his aunt Swami Tessa will deal
with like another mother's hand
when he received the revelation, and he was so scared,
who,
until receive that comfort from her.
When the Prophet saw the evil, didn't know what to do with the
day. Yet, when the greatest of the many companions were so
overwhelmed with emotion, they were despondent and they weren't
listening, he fought comfort and fighting for whom
SON OF A Willingham, and when the Prophet saw them, was passing
away, he didn't ask to be moved to the masjid. Sallallahu alaihi
wasallam,
he asked permission to pass away in the House and in the lap of
Aisha ra
so as soon as he mentions that the reason the Prophet saw them said
that one and wait beloved to him is because he's taught comfort, a
special type of comfort in women in his life. So the law finds
the
sinner as students, mentions that the reason I Prophet said this is
because
women have special rulings when it comes to ritual purity, and
sometimes they're very complicated, and when the
complication is one reward, so there's more reward in teaching
those buildings, and there's more reward when we experience those
buildings. And
the faxham, as su also mentions, didn't experience those things,
and so he taught woman that one woman would come and ask the
Father. So he
sent them, he would explain to them, but he also taught the other
women how to teach other women. So he loved
women because they helped him give the shayab, the messengers of the
messenger, Allah, Salah, Abu Asmaa, and then at Santa Fe
mentions
the angels.
Why did the protests mention
for him
the prophesy mentioned perfume? Because angels love good sense.
They love beautiful sense. So when the Prophet saw that mentions
perfume, it's as if he's conversating with the angels. It
brings angels closer. And then he mentioned salah. In the Prophet
Salla
salad mentions Salah as the place of comfort, his ultimate refuge,
where more beautiful to see complete surrender than with a
conversation to the one who knows everything that you call
and just 11 words across by Salman describes so much of his life, so
much wisdom that we can take, and this is exactly how his Farewell
Pilgrimage was described by a companion who witnessed it that
the Prophet saw in his elephants caused the people to come to tears
and efforts to melt because of the way that he spoke with such
beauty. Sullivan the Farewell Pilgrimage is
the time in which the Prophet
sallallahu, Alaska, alas, had the opportunity to share final words
with the believers in general, and John lies, one of the companions
who narrates what happened. John was asked about this in his older
age. By this time, he was blind. When someone came and asked him
about
it, he was so gentle and generous in his response. And he held out
nine gamers, and he
mentioned that it happened at this time. And then he described what
he saw, that there were tribes and tribes that came to Medina
preparing to pull for heads of the Prophet sallallahu. So you can
imagine that the Prophet
sallallahu, alayhi wa someone has all these believers that he
nurtured since the time of his infancy. And then you have the
believers who are coming to Medina for the first time, being across
wisdom for the first time. And then you have on their way to
Medina more and more groups coming. And the majority of the
companions across the way Sena are companions because they imagine
one time in this experience.
On the way for hedge. Gabbard, enough.
Solomon mentioned that Asmaa,
this or ACE, will be along the iPad. Asmaa, at this
time, was married to a buck, and she was very, very pregnant on the
way to Hajj.
She gives birth,
and so she wonders, what is she supposed to do of the book holding
alumni who calls and ask the prophets
what set up. The prophet tells her how to clean up and prepare for
how she does so, and now they continue on with anymore.
Imagine who came to the hedge of the prophets of alumni who have
sent them, and now he is standing ready to give discernment in the
outskirts of the city in which he was kicked out with almost 150,000
people from a time where, last time he was here, we were
persecuting his followers, the
Quran, for the cause
of the death, the pain, the physical torture, not having food,
not having enough water, and of the law that losing
his loved ones, he is back now in this space with all
these people who believe in Him, and some of them have
met him into this
home. So what is he going to share? We
can
imagine
who the prophets of alumni and the Senna is
looking out at him proud because who he sees the lung fighting with
Senna is Abu Dhabi alumni, the one who is his best friend, the one
who has gone through so much wicked difficulty and pain and
loss, who he seen are the companions who were there when he
was saw that his mother's grave. So Allah by Abu Asmaa, 40 years
after her passing, who you would see. So
Allah by Abu
Asmaa is the woman and men who worked together
to build communities, both who made mistakes. So you can imagine
that a monster crowd
is,
for example, mentions an
authentic narration of a companion who was so overwhelmed by the
beauty of a woman, companion who was staring at that he kept
walking in until he walked into a wall and smashed his notes,
and then he came to the Prophet. So I told him about it. You can
see that
the people in the Prophet saw them
are
looking out back our adults like I left.
Who? In fact, should she experience something that was very
sad for her to experience
as a woman, and the father comforted her by saying, this is
routine for the daughters behind
them. You can see that the people who he's looking
out at are
those like or they who had a little bird,
and he would ask about this little bird. And
when he would ask about this little bird, one day, the person
passed away, and he was there and have sorrow
with this little boy, with this young man, these incidences are
the Prophet SAW Abdullah how he used to get
drunk, and then he was punished, and then he would get drunk, and
there was consequences. And if companions started
cursing him, he started cursing how many times this is going to
happen, they started
making dua against him. Prophet says,
Stop now. Do not age and run against your brother. Instead,
they drive
them for narrations we
have in front of the Father Son of those who were standing born,
those who were those who ran to do good immediately, without a second
meditation, and those who are struggling with all of us.
And what does he choose to say to them in this moment, this
final opportunity to speak to all of those who he
sees so the law. He doesn't say, focus on memorizing the entire
Quran every single day, which all of us actually we should
do. And the Prophet doesn't say in this sermon, pray to Hunter every
single night, and if you don't, you're not even a believer.
The promise of the law abiding was that I'm focusing in this moment
on justice and embrace together of different types of justice that
we're going to number four quickly. One, economic
justice, two, racial justice, three, gender justice. And I know
that that phrase has a lot of connotations in this context. It
just means giving rights to one
another and the fourth justice of one's self, of your own soul, your
soul, giving justice to your soul. So
the Prophet saw someone
speaks
about getting rid of youth for getting rid of interest, and he
begins with our best money alumni. What's fascinating about our best
loving alumni? His uncle is one of the prophet of God. He didn't have
to start with his own family, but it shows all of us to start with
ourselves and our.
Families
to make sure that we're invested in those relationships and working
through those relationships before we call everybody else as a
prophet, he can within his own dialog.
So he makes our battle, I hope, the one whom he cancels out anyone
who owes him interest first. But Abba told me he actually did not
accept Islam
in the
dirty little Islam in the very liberal stages. His wife won a
little accepted Islam in the early stages. And because of her
acceptance of Islam, she was like the best friends of Tunisia would
be alone because of her acceptance of Islam, her son even
Abu Asmaa, so our God told you about kings made an example in the
parable survey,
in
the parable sermon, despite the fact that he came to Islam later
on. And all of us have our own journeys to Islam. Some of you are
converts, some from performing families. Some of you found Islam
and chose Islam there in life, as we say, well, one of us has a
space in the community of the Prophet Solomon,
and once the prophetic symbol speaks economic justice. This is
critical. We live in a society where we can see it based
on myrmite, for example, but it's YAML day. Every freeway has
unhoused individuals sleeping under it. I've met children in
parks for our
house. Economic Justice is so critical because it takes care of
the most vulnerable of our community, and that is the
Protestantism call the Muslim community to be particular. In
when you take care of economic justice, you take care of
children, you take care of those who are most vulnerable in society
and the
public school law are they understand the wounds to speaking
about
women. He speaks about caring for women and giving women their
rights. And that woman is women must give rights as well. But he
calls he he gives this call to giving women their rights.
And it's interesting, because whom he speaks to in this society, just
a generation passed, all in all, no longer. I hate to think of
woman as nothing. They used to be born as nothing, until Allah SWT
revealed. He revealed and divided what he divided it. This was a
Prophet, sallAllahu, alayhi
wa sallam, who withhold his granddaughter in prayer, because
as the
United veterans, he wanted to emphatically express that
gathers our honor. You have to imagine the cultural shift of
mindset of men and women who are burying the baby daughters alive,
and I guarantee women like property. What does it take to
shift the culture to recognize women's rights in this space,
until the Prophet saw someone, for example, when he is speaking
about the creation of a woman, and there's a hadith talking about her
being created from the rib of Adam, sometimes, because of our
experiences, our misunderstanding of Islam, our lack of exposure to
the complete picture of Islam. We can read that hadith in a
mistranslated way. And you might think, Well, let's start reading
about women and Hispanic
but the purpose of the love body concern begins that hadith
treating women well, and it ends up in treating women well, and in
speaking about not making women not to bring women's nature. Dr
khaki, then he mentions that this is about treating women with
gentleness and love and
care and compassion. This is the legacy of the Father salah. Ad,
and then we look at racial justice that the basalt is speaking to
companions who he again, has nurtured. Spiritual infancy, but
they came from an insanely tribalistic area where their name,
their lineage, their color, everything mattered, not very
dissimilar to today and when the wisdom is looking at his
companions, they experienced racism, and
he mentored them
through that without them. Our
community, but without a when I'm talking about who he one, who he
was in the time of the Prophet's
voice and then the Prophet's wisdom, was very intentional about
appointing him as
a
resident of the Prophet's life sentence. And also who Abdullah he
appointed to who's a
free, enslaved, free man, and the second Abdullah, and who was a man
with a disability, who was blind. He made these two those who would
be eatens of the community that would have outsider to Medina. Who
are they saying?
Give the event? Who are they saying? Call everyone to
Allah that it doesn't matter what
someone was born with or looks like or how they are. It's about
what the poet says, mentions in the Pharaoh's ceremony that it's
about what is in your heart. The Prophet in Disney talks about all
of us.
Coming from Adam ad breaking that honor of being connected to a
prophet, the prophet created with the two love the truth of all
different colors of the world. And then all of us go back to that
ancestor, our grandfather, just like how he honored Aisha, Ana
by connecting her pain to
him. AhI, Prophet saw him passed
away, he was too emotional to continue giving Medina. He
couldn't get it and look at the praise the Prophet saw
that the Prophet was there underneath
that crowd,
and he would she burst into tears, so he asked for permission to
leave Medina, and he promised he wasn't
going to give the Adan again. Years later, when Allah was going
in to open Palestine,
they go into Philistine, they called into mastill, and he asked
ya who had been part of the opening of
Fez of Jerusalem. He asked him to make the ad and
then the the Abu reminds him that the Prophet SAW would have wanted
you to make the Amen until he begins to make the amend. And
Allah so emotional, he just
falls in his knees. You can imagine the first time you hear
the ad
from Allah. The first time you hear the
Adnan from the one of the prophets to get the Adnan. What does that
feel like in your heart after missing it for so long? What does
it feel like from another passing away, and he is so excited? Why?
Because he's going to be with his companions. He missed his
companions, and he can't wait to be with the Prophet. So the Lord,
why they give us a minute
here after that love, the intensity of that love doesn't
just come from someone saying said, actually, at one time, it's
someone who can invest in you and invest in creating a community
where you are seeing who you are, not about what you look like. Yes,
we're seeing what you look like, but that's not what
matters. What matters is what's inside an action to do with it,
which is what the Bhagavata says in this generation,
also Subhanallah, there are so many companions who are black
companions, and there's so many federal things, including, as I
mentioned, Palestine.
This was a beautiful king who was extremely dark in perfection. He
was very black. And when he went to open Egypt, the ruler there
said to him, said to the people who were with him, to the other
companions that he wants to speak about, to speak to someone else.
He doesn't want to
speak to this man because of his mother and the companion said,
this color. And the companion said, This is not black. This is
not something that is a bad thing we look at. He's the best of our
station. He is the best of us. He's the most knowledgeable. This
is our leader. And when he came he asserted that this creation of how
ALLAH SubhanA created him. And then he
said, if you're afraid of me, there's 1000 others like me.
He 1000
others like me, even louder in color, and they're even stronger
this assertion, this this honor of identity in the way that Allah
created. And that understanding came from the prophets of Allah,
by Jesus teaching that there is no person, no matter what their
background, their color, their gender, anything. Gender, anything
except what matters to the law, which is that which is an
apartment, actions that they
do. So this focus on racial justice was one which the Prophet
SAW THE LAW party when
someone emphasized that this was fun. And finally, the Prophet SAW
THE LAW party ended by talking about
holding onto
the Quran. And there's a phrase that the Prophet
mentioned earlier in his speech, and that is that shaytan is not
going to try to get you really big things. He reminds us, there's
different narrations of the pharaoh, sir, but he reminds us to
maintain Salah and Zahab and hedge and pillars. But then he also
says, So long farther he was looking at Shaykh on is not going
to be able to not going to come to you with a big he's going to come
to you with a small. He's going to come to you with the things that
you feel are not that big of a deal, and you're going to do
anyway. But also he's going to cause you to despair the mercy of
Omar,
because there are times where you look at someone who does go to the
masjid every single set of the air, and you see them weeping in
every single prayer, and you wonder, what are they doing that
is so special that you don't have because you haven't taught them a
lot in any
way. Or you hear of someone who is studying Islam, didn't make any
lectures, and you think, I don't have the time to do that, because
I have young children, and my whole focus is near my young
children. Or you hear of someone and what they're doing is taking
care of their parents, and they're able to provide for them, and
their parents are comfortable. And you think I'm in a position to be
able to do that. I'm barely able to make Tennessee, but I'm trying.
And so sometimes we attribute the things that we can't do. Sometimes
we attribute the fact that we're not good enough.
Me
not to trust ourselves. Of course, we say
it to ourselves too, but then we attribute that
to
how
we think Allah subhanahu
wa
and he was crying out, saying, My sins, my sins. It was so
overwhelmed by his sins, and the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sudden
told him to drive
to me.
Oh, sadly the movie.
Oh, Allah, your forgiveness is greater than my own my sins and
your mercy is I
have more old for than in my own deeds. And the Prophet told him to
say again, and then he told her to say it again, and then about
tales, and told to stand up. You've been
forgiven
this moment. Stand up. You've been forgiven when you have repented
for something, have you immediately stood up and said, Oh,
welcome now and then, go into good deeds that shall make up quiet. Or
have you sat at that and thought, because 11am for
Baby, do I even deserve forgiveness? And you continue to
define yourself by what you did five years ago, or five years ago
or 15 years ago, and never stop remembering that you can't be
getting up because
of what you've done. And asked here the Prophet SAW told us
tandem fit for him. And the multiple Montana tells us to
replace the back of the pit. When you make a mistake, it's stand up,
do good. The child will give me a forgiveness. And there's a God
that the Prophet saws them taught us to see after we eat. And do you
know what the reward of that dies, the rewards
that rewards that dies and innocents are forgiven? Look at
the psychology of laws of the time. He knows that so many of us
like to drown
our sorrow in food. So go have a tub of ice cream, or maybe just a
scoop, and the things
that go back after eating. Then inshaAllah the Indians of
forgiveness. Look how Allah wants you to be optimistic. He knows our
psychology.
He's created us and how Allah had immersed the mercy of of man, of
women come
down and tell us about ways to put close to him. Subhanallah,
the Promise of Allah, by Abu Asmaa
ends this by reminding us to hold on to the Quran in this
and what do the Quran in this? Puna teach us that every time we
see him, that he is near,
and that when we think we're not good enough, I want you to
remember what you do. I had a sister today who is a foster
parent for Afghan refugees. I met another sister today opened her
home from a lot for every person
who didn't have a family to have this fall with. And so she and her
family invited people from Ramadan when you think you're not good
enough, think about what did Allah guide you to do? Because that, in
and of itself, is a gift that he
put in
your heart because of his love for you. Because of his
love for you, that the prophets are in an in an IV perspictus,
that when you turn to Allah, he turns to you. That means he turned
to you, unique. When you turn to Allah, can't turn to you. He
turned to
them
so that they would turn
to the promises focuses here on how we can turn back to
Allah, and a critical part of that is creating community that feels
that we're connected to one another, that feels that we have
that are given each other our rights and that our inheritors and
a forms of
justice. I
