Prophets
of Allah
appointed bila wali Allah Abu as one of those who would give the
Adan Medina. And he had a very close connection with the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam in a different way because of this
relationship that most people didn't
and so be not only about to give the event, and as he's giving the
Advent, and he goes to the park, where he bears witness that the
Prophet sallallahu, a messenger of Allah, He
began to weep. He broke down.
Every time he tried to give the Advent, he couldn't give it.
He would break down knowing that his beloved is no longer
physically on top of the earth in the city. And so he asked Abu Bakr
on the alumni, if he could leave Medina. He asked for permission
not to give him.
He left Medina
and he went to different places with our body, swamis holding
Allah and different companions, including
our body's wife, his wife, om
Sharan, was the companion for the Prophet salallahu
alayhi wa sallam go to visit and he would take A nap at her home.
And scholars mentioned different ways that they were connected like
maybe they were young siblings, but he would take masks at her
home. And one time he woke up and he was smiling, laughing, and she
asked him why saliva was he? Was he smiling like this? And he told
her about a dream that he had. And this is a prophecy of the Prophet
sallallahu, sallam. Saw
them that his Companions would be going on the water on a ship
wearing things like kings, a prophecy on where they were going
to be going.
And she asked if she could join.
His response to her so Allah Abu Salam wasn't to say it's better
for you to stay at home or you already have the same reward
because you want it. His response to her, Sala
was in two different narrations, one make him die, that she would
be amongst them, and a different narration saying she will be with
them. This is a prophecy of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam did come true, because in the time period when um haram was
with her husband and ill, and these companions told the Allahu
Akbar at
75 years old, she did go with that campaign.
She could have passed away before it
happened at that time, they could have not allowed her to go as a
woman, as an elderly woman, anything could have stopped her
from going, but she was with them as a father who was having said,
So, these are the
complaining that imagi is now
with in these different places until they go to Jerusalem. But
alhamdulillah is the leader of the Muslims
at this moment in history,
the Christian leader is
inside of
the wall overlooking the people outside of the Old
City of Jerusalem.
He requested Alma Ali Allah Abu, specifically because he said
that their books had a description of this man. When he saw Ahmad Ali
Al Abu,
he affirmed that he fulfilled a description of the man that is
mentioned in their Scripture. He gave him the keys into Jerusalem
Ali Alabama Abu came into mashrallah At that time the
Crusaders. That, excuse me, those before the Crusaders, but that
time period, the way that they
were keeping mashallah was like a pit of trash.
So Amala
and the companions are cleaning mashed Allah,
the then Allah
asks, I make the ABU. He requests for him to make the ABU. Asmaa is
he can't. He can't.
And then Allah applies to him, and he says, This is what
the Prophet sawallah Bartimaeus, someone would have wanted you to
do.
And so bilateral and Allahu Akbar. For the first time since the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam himself went to Asmaa,
he says, The ANA and Allah
falls down to his knees weeping, the people, the Companions, for
the first time, hearing
the other day of Abu Asmaa weakening hearing the voice I have
called prayer at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa appointed a specific position from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa said them, and he is a Jannah. He was promised paradise in the
temple of.
Paradise.
So whatever he chooses to do are blessed. It is a blessing. But he
recognized, after the loss of the Prophet, salallahu, alaihi
wasallam, that from an emotional place, an emotional standpoint, he
couldn't stay, he couldn't continue to do this particular act
of worship, of calling the event. And he so instead, he changed, and
he looked to do something else that he could do within his
capacity to serve Allah Prophet sallallahu alayhi. Was said that
the reason why Abu Asmaa was
able to make this shift from something so great to something
also great but different it's
because
of his
understanding
of an ayah of the Quran to my prayer, sacrifice in my life and
my death, everything in between his four Allah, subhana wa taala,
the prophets of Allah taught us it and sure by intention. This
connection to the
Quran is what allowed
to widen his perspective of the way that he can worship and be of
benefit critically him specifically why every single one
of you have been chosen to be in this time period, in this place
for a reason. Why? How did Allah know that he needed to step away
emotionally and shift it was this connection with the Quran that he
established in his interaction with it, and I want to share with
you a story for me and the DM,
when I was summarizing the Quran, I really struggled. Struggled with
swords and Toba. Swords and Toba was the hardest surah. One of the
hardest Surat is me to memorize.
But many of the other Sura, even though they were difficult myself
and emotional connection with them, if I hear tortoma Ino, it
takes me to a specific place. If my hair still runs an island, it
takes me to a specific place. I have an emotional Of course, I
believe so it's over. But the connection emotionally for me
didn't happen, and I was making job for it, because when I
reviewed it, when I reviewed it, when I reviewed it, didn't matter
how many years I reviewed it, I struggled to recite it. And
when I was blessed to go to Medina for only 15 hours as a layover, I
tried to go into the Lola of the Prophet sallallahu, sallam.
I wanted to go into asana and, of course, Allah, Medina,
Muhammad, anywhere, but I wanted to be there sedima,
salad. Every door I had to enter, the woman would say, go to the
other door. They'll open it there. I would go to that door. They
would say, this door is closed. Go there. Open that door. Go to that
door. They would say, this door is closed, come back. And this time I
came back. Before that time they said, We can't come in. And I sat
and I bawled, and I went up and I said, Oh, Allah, what did I
do that? I mean, turned away from saying Salam to the Prophet. And
so Allah, I left the road
while not entering, and I walked with my face to the ground. I
couldn't look at the mission of Medina.
I couldn't look at the sky of Medina. I thought, What did I do?
Were I'm not worthy of entering six of them to the Prophet,
please. I'm right here.
And the verses that came to my mind immediately in that moment,
are verses of sorts, of Toba that the three
companions could have gone with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. They were physically capable. They were capable in
every way, but they didn't go on a
campaign with him. So Allah Abu
Asmaa, like the Earth
was constricting, that that their souls were constricted, and what,
and then Allah, that there's
no one to turn to from Allah except Allah.
That moment, I felt so connected to swords of Toba, a God that I've
been making for years. In that moment, one door was close to me,
and Allah opened another tortilla Toba. Right now, it's the one
store that, anytime I became I go to immediately,
and now I recognize that the reason why I didn't get NBS could
have been because I had to choose them also policies and not allow
for women to gain access into the
robot at all times, but the idea that I'm blaming myself is one
that sometimes debilitates us from doing the work for Allah,
because Shay Wah wants us to be so busy regretting our past, though,
we are paralyzed to do good right now, we are emotionally
overwhelmed. We don't know how to navigate our relationship.
Sometimes we are seeing what's happening in LUCA, and at the same
time, we feel helpless. We are not helpless. The people in lufta are
telling us that they right now they believe in Osaka.
They have affirmation in.
Where they are going, and they're saying, we are making drought for
you.
When the Crusaders came into Jerusalem
before, after the Muslims that they lost him,
the Crusaders killed the Muslims, the Jews, the Christian it was a
bloodbath. It was blood up to the knees of the horses.
In that time period,
there were a group of people who were able to escape and
with the clothes on their backs. We don't have to imagine
this, because we see this right now, Rosa with the poles on their
backs, that came to Damascus, and they went in asking,
telling their story of what's happening to the ship in Damascus.
This Shaykh,
he went to the dead from Damascus. He went to the left. He couldn't
get an appointment with the ruler of the Muslims to tell
him why they need to do something. And
do you know what he did?
It was Roman. He went to the front of the Masjid.
He interrupted the khutfa
of this huge Masjid where the ruler of the Muslims is sitting
and listening.
And in front of the masjid, he started to eat. In the middle of
Ramadan,
everyone was shocked, and he started to yell. And then he said,
This is your reaction for me eating in Ramadan. Where is your
reaction for your brothers and sisters being slaughtered
in Jerusalem?
That happened after the fall 88 years later is when Salaf Dean
came
in. What happened in between?
What happened in between is us right now. There
was a period of people who came up given Asaka. And what he wrote in
his book, he focused on the whole life the blessings of revive the
understanding of why is important. Because God forbid that they,
Allah,
protect our main this would be horrific, right? But sometimes we
don't have the same understanding of how has that same level of
importance for us. So for 88 years, we have generations being
raised learning about the importance of ups for the young
woman
savage from the school and
who came out of those schools. School and who came
out of those
schools.
So as you know, Dean, they both had a very excellent Dean.
She had a
and their advisor was also a Muslim, a woman follows us about
the idea she would invite someone on what to do when Salah ATI came.
And he took this knowledge
of what absal
means coming on the backs of the work, of the work that people had
done
before he came to Absalom. To Abu
with protection for everyone, with justice, for everyone, with peace
for everyone. This is the message of Islam, one but two. He also
found that
Impa that was created by muradi, by a word maker that he
commissioned
to bring in so because he was positive that they
would be able to have Assa again, because the Crusaders turned upsa
into a cake pen and into four stalls and into a garbage dump. It
took 88 years
for the people to shift. We are in that shift 20 years ago, for all
said
to us, she said to us, in a high school community room, she said,
the mothers in this
room
are going to be Shabaab, the group of women in
this room are going to be the mothers of the revivals of Islam.
You in this room right now are part of the generation
of revivals in love.
The question, is it,
what do we do? Why is this happening? The question, what I'm
going to do, because the angels
are
recording
everything that I am doing. And even if noone you're not tiny like
that one partner church whose name is not according to
something that will last for this woman, because Allah SWT, he has
chosen you to be a part of this woman and
the public says, to be part of this woman and the public says
that that means
he's chosen you for equality inside of you, to be a part of the
nation that is chosen to change the world for the better. Plan
this
time.
