In Medina and Makkah, she wasn't a believer, but she was his
neighbor. So she used to hear him reciting. And he's done a lot. He
was setting him for a few nights was quiet.
He was quiet. And so when she sees him the next day she says, Oh,
Muhammad, I think you're Shavon has forsaken you. I think your
your, your shaytaan must be angry with you. Meaning meaning wherever
you're getting this from this revelation. Looks like you messed
up you did something wrong.
And the prophets of allottee was settled on. He he he was hidden.
He was worried. Like why
Did I do anything wrong? Is there something wrong with me? And Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah in order to.
To tell him he loves them.
I think all of us need to realize that Allah loves us. And once you
realize that you act different. When you walk around expecting
Allah's punishment, you act one way. But when you walk around
knowing Allah loves you, you walk around different. So the verses
were revealed after this lady said this and after Gabrielle had not
come for a short time, Allah revealed these verses, by the oh
the villa him in a shape on a rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as we learn about who he

He used to look up at the sky

Maybe now it hits you i Let me agenda Yeah, team and for our
did he not find you as an orphan and bring you in? You know, I was
like, bring you When? When your uncle hugs you come here, when
your grandma brings you in?
What would you add that kind of blog and for hada.
And He found you lost?
The Prophet sallallahu wasallam. He never worshiped in IDA we're
going to hear a narration about that he never worship an idol once
in his life. But he didn't know how to connect to God. There's so
many people out there like that right now. There's people like
that in this room right now.
That they want Allah they want the way and it's like, I don't want to
worship idols. I don't want to worship anything other than God. I
don't want to live for anything but God, I just need a way to do
it. Allah speaking to Mohammed and he says Allah Mujica your team and
for our watchdog cabal and for Haida And He found you last but
then he guided you.
Are we guided hamdulillah
or Judah Ilan for us.
And we've been reading the prophets of Allah who it was salam
was poor, broke No, no money.
Nothing. And then Allah enriched him and we're going to talk about
when Allah says he enriched him, how he enriched him is beautiful.
I want you to look at these these verses. Now from this perspective,
that we saw the early stages of his life, surrounded by death, his
mother passes, his father's already gone.
And now what happens? He saying Allahu alayhi wa sallam is put in
the hands of his grandfather. His grandfather teaches us something.
What is the grandfather teach us? The grandfather teaches us that
even if you're not the father or the mother, you can always step in
and fill someone's gap by showing them love. Bhaji.
Big CES, big brother.
Don't blame dad for your little brother or sister. You're still
here? Why don't you take her to soccer games? Why don't you take
on a basketball practice.
Abdulmutallab jumped in for his father, for the prophets of Allah.
He was sudden his father.
But after two years he loses him.
At the age of eight, that comfort is taken away. And the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has learned from an early point at the
tender age of 10 years old that life is filled with struggle. And
later he would teach us that Jana is surrounded by struggle.
Do you see how the upbringing you
Ain't him who he was.
I tread lightly saying the word but a lot of us gotta let the
Shabaab live. Go to the school of hard knocks,
ya know, did I know?
Saying they know how
the school of life, Allah did not shelter the prophet from the
struggles of life, he sheltered him from the filth of sin. But the
struggle of life, Allah put him through it.
And a lot of us young men and young women, our parents wishing
the best for us, they didn't shelter us from the sin but they
sheltered us from the struggle.
The early Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had every comfort
taken away.
And he later taught us you want to get to Jana? Gotta grind. You got
to go through this struggle.
From a young age, he learned that then we see the prophets of Allah
who sent him at the age of 10 or 12. Now moving into the house of
Abu Talib, and imagine this you're after being the the coolness of
the eye of of the abdominal pilot, he goes into the house of
authority, who's got 10 kids?
I'm one of 11.
You know how it is fighting with your siblings?
Who ate my food?
This is 10 siblings. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in
this moment realizes, I can't be someone who takes I have to be
someone who gives back to the family to agent 12. He goes and
says, Uncle, I'm going to get a job. We know he was given the job
of a shepherd. Because as a shepherd, you're responsible for
feeding, grazing, protecting, guiding and bringing people home.
That's a people. Yes, because this was training for what he would do
for me and you. He would protect us through his teachings. He would
feed us through the spiritual revelation. Why is his life?
Why revelation, that soul food
that's what your heart needs.
And he would protect us and then bring us home.
Bring us home.
He would teach us that this world is dangerous. And the same way he
protected the sheep's from Wolf's he would have protected us from
wolves as well.
Allah subhanaw taala then put him to the next stage because he
learned the lessons of life. He learned the lessons from that
moment in life, but it wasn't time yet. There was still more to
learn. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he goes to his
uncle and he says UNK
and I'm gonna stop here. Because last week when I said the word up,
I almost shared it with you, but it was an emotional moment. So I
was like, let me not break the feeling. But this time, I'm gonna
say it. If one of y'all call me uncle again.
I'm gonna join the Dallas Muslim Boxing Club.
I'm just joking. Time does what it does to us all, you know, you
laugh at me. You're gonna be uncle one day too.
So he goes to his uncle sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he says
Uncle,
I've done enough shepherding I want to be in business and trade.
And the scholars say the reason why Allah wanted him to learn that
is because people in trade and business know people, they learn
people, they learn to read people, they interact with hundreds of
1000s of people a month. So they learn people and this is what he
would use later in life when he's
telling people they need to sell this dunya and purchase the aka
you fill me is beautiful. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. Take it
take any job jobs teach you.
Ask anyone man. We use the bus tables. I was a paperboy. Um, I
feel old. I'm doing the wrong stuff, right.
I don't care. I'm at a point. I don't care where you're reading
about that. Oh, suicide Salem. His life is beautiful. And just
reading about him. grows your love Wallahi Wednesdays have become so
beautiful. SubhanAllah. So as a young man, I was like 1012
paperboy.
I had to do a job. I don't remember because texting and
stuff, right? People used to get these things called newspapers.
And they would open them and read them. They had words on paper.
Right. And there would be a young man who would run through the
streets and throw the papers onto the porches. Yeah, I mean, that's
what we did. Early morning. sponsibility Hamdulillah. My
mother didn't shelter me from that. We didn't have to. But she
said you have to
Do you feel me? She didn't have to. But she said you have to.
So he became a businessman and a man of trade, forcing him to learn
how to connect to people. As I said, One day he would be making
us telling us sell this dunya for the Ophira. And many people would
respond.
He would later teach us through trade that you don't know a person
that are suicides that I'm taught us, you don't know a person until
you've done three things with them,
traveled, done business or live next door to them.
Business teaches you so much about a person.
So we move forward. And we learned that through trade, he learned how
to connect to people. Because connection to other people is the
key to the Prophetic Mission. I really want you to hear what I'm
about to say, we're going to get to this next part of his life and
it's so beautiful, but I need you to understand, it's all about
knowing how to connect to another soul. It doesn't matter how
advanced AI gets, there will never be an algorithm that can replace a
hug.
They can't write code to replace the loving glance in AI that says
I love you. That code will never be written. And that's why there
are suicides send them he came to teach us how to be true human
beings because no matter how far technology gets a hug, a hug every
morning this man hugs me every morning he hugs me that hug chore
so many illnesses in my heart every morning he hugs me a crumb
hugs you can't replace that. He taught us how to connect how to
connect. So Allah made him a businessman so he learned to
people
but he didn't use the knowledge of people as I said to manipulate he
uplifted people through that knowledge.
I'm gonna set yada Cena Muhammad.
So now
the prophets Allah it was salam also
see, part of what he was going through. Y'all was preparing him
for his job. But part of what he was learning was letting everybody
else see who he was. So that when he came with the message, there
was no way they could deny who we was. I need you to fill me on
this. I'm gonna say it again. Part of the reason Allah put him
through this, because I said you don't know people, you do business
with them. The prophets lie Selim, he was made a businessman to know
people. But the other reason is so that people knew him.
And by the time he's a young man of 1718 They're looking at this
man and saying, there's no one more trustworthy. There's no one
that has more Amana. A key word of tonight's halacha is Amana. What
is the word Amana mean in Arabic? It means to be trustworthy, it
means to be dependable. Amana means you're given a task and you
uphold that. Now here's the deal. The prophets of Allah to send him
his level of Amana was power Excellent. Power excellence. We
can't compete. But we must imitate. We must imitate that also
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he had to be trustworthy. Why? Subhan
Allah Subhanallah I don't want to skip ahead. But even when they're
they they're kicking him out of the city. He has to tell Ali to
stay back to return their goods. Because even though y'all hate me,
y'all know I'm the most trustworthy person in the city.
The prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam he said that the very first
thing that will be lifted from this OMA I have the Hadith here,
and the Rosu so I seldom called Oh, well Luma Europa, Amina NAS.
lnn, the very first thing that will be taken out of our hearts is
Amana, the OMA won't be trustworthy. You wonder why
Islamic spreading?
Because people can't trust the Muslims that they work with.
They know they'll cut a bit off the top, they'll cut a bit off the
hours.
They'll do what they have to,
oh doubt or how to.
I mean, they know there are suicides tell them how did Islam
spread? Islam began because they could say we know this man is
trustworthy. And if he won't lie to you, about dunya How dare you
would ever lie about all the people can't trust us with their
dunya how would they trust us with their al Qaeda?
Amana, Amana to be dependable, is the very first thing that prophesy
centum said will be taken out of the OMA.
You will look around and know you can't trust no one.
And there will suicides tell him he said What are kuruma Yabba
salah the last thing that will remain will still be salah. Waro
bermel son in law Phaedra fee and there's some people praying but
there's no clarity inside
Amana, y'all
Amana was heavy.
But let's go forward
the next stage of his life
they got to see how trustworthy he was. So that when he stood on a
mountain in some years and said Do your trust me, they would all say,
of course we trust you. We've never known you to say anything.
Not up, right.
So so for me, the lesson here is protect your character. Protect
your character.
Be be trust trustworthy.
And that's between you and God only.
That's between you and Allah subhanho wa taala. Your ability to
give this message to other people, even your own children lies in the
fact of you being trustworthy. And the most beautiful thing about our
own Matt has always been my teacher used to say he grew up in
Medina, he grew up in Medina,
shaken and sore. And he said that whenever the Adan would go off, he
was a kid this 3040 years ago, whenever the dawn will go off, he
said there will be some rough, so rough
money exchangers with 1000s of dollars because they exchange on a
table like this. They would take off a cloth, cover it up and go
suddenly, my teacher says I've seen that before.
Because a Muslim would never think about Allah.
Now our state is different, and all of our countries, but what
about us Muslims in America? Can we rewrite the script? Can we
bring that back? Can you become the most trustworthy person at
work at school, and your family?
What happens next? We're at the age of 25. And we're at new stuff
now.
The narration says
Abu Talib comes to the prophets of Allahu Allah, he was Saddam.
Bask in his beauty. Ah.
I will tell you, they've come to the prophets of Allah to set them
at the age of 25. He's been doing business now for 10 years working
for Abu Talib. But Allah subhanho wa Taala wants the prophets of
Allah who it was salam to be exposed to something bigger. Why?
Because this message is global. He's going to be giving Dawa, to
hit up the king of the Byzantine Empire. He's going to be given
Dalits in the Jesse. You can't just be local. You got to
understand more people. So the next stage is you need to become a
business man on the on the national international platform.
That's what he needed now. So he understands different people. It's
beautiful. So at the age of 25, Abu Talib comes to him. And he
says Anna Rajala Mullally.
He says to the Rasul SallAllahu wasallam. I'm a man that I don't
have much well, what could they said the Zima and Irina, it's very
tough times right now.
And he says, this caravan is about to head up to Surya and sham.
And Khadija bento Hawaii eyelid
ha Khadija tonight's about Khadija, y'all.
Tonight, tonight's about Khadija or the Allahu anha. It serves us
enough to know that her name when you say it, you say Khadija Tul
Kubo and Islam. Khadija Tul Cooper Khadija the Great that's it the
great
when you realize who she is. I will call him he says Khadija she
sends men
with her merchandise to go sell it.
He says you should go to her and present yourself. I'm sure she
would immediately accept you as working for her. liquidy says Lima
ye beluga ha and come into Hara Tika because she has heard about
how trustworthy impure you are. While every other merchant is
cutting corners, the prophets of Allah who it was telling me as
being loyal and look where it brought them.
I know what we think if I don't cut corners like the rest of my
coworkers, everybody's getting ahead. In this moment in the
Sierra tells us something.
Amana brings risk
Anana brings risk. Don't let the dunya lie to you. Amana brings
risk.
So he says a
beautiful Allahu Akbar. He says he has she's heard about how pure you
are. Notice they already know who he is age 25.
Well further Touka Allah vaidika shall give you preference over
everyone else. Now the prophets have a lot to sell him something
else we know about his character.
And I think a lot of us could connect it as he was naturally
very shy.
He was naturally very introverted.
it but he had a job to do. So he put the mask on to be with the
people. A lot of us man give me a book in a room cozy tea.
But we got to go to the OMA. We got to be with people or a suicide
center was naturally very shy. So when I will die live says why
don't you go to Khadija he goes, maybe she'll send for me.
He says that he says she'll send for me if she wants.
The narration tells us that Khadija the Allah Juana had heard
about him. Of course, she heard about him, a man of that caliber
businessman.
So she the narration says what kind of Khadija? We got to talk
about her though.
So these are the Allahu Taala on ha she was widowed
two times.
And Khadija, the Allahu Tada on how she had hindered from her
first husband, hand was her name. And from her second husband, she
had hint, who's a boy.
Same name, different gender. I don't know what was going on. Hi
Allah and follow Him. So Khadija had four children and she was
extremely wealthy. And she was known for her shut off. Meaning
honor, dignity and chastity. Chastity, a pure woman, a pure
woman.
Ah.
And she had heard about the prophets of Allah wa salam. And
the narration say that here I'm going to read directly for Allah
my Bella Maha Rasulillah my bellava when she heard the naira,
like what people said about him. Listen what they say. Men said the
Hadith he he always speak straight. Yeah, he will let the
nomina to Allah wa Kulu. Olin studied. This is the verses you
read at marriage. Speak straight. Speak clear. Allahu Akbar. And she
heard of EVA Ananda TeeHee. She heard about how trustworthy and
dependable he was his beautiful character. So she sent somebody go
present my offer. And I would like him to work for me.
So she calls for him to come. Would you like to work for me?
He's going big now. Leveling up in the industry. It's a big deal.
She says she says to him and I'll take up that for my or territory
Jad minicomic. She goes I'll give you double what anyone else pays.
So the Prophet said my my uncle's poor, we got a lot of family
members. I got to take this offer. And when I will tell you I've
heard he said it is Concur the sokola ileka This risk Allah is
bringing your way.
Khadija the Allahu Tada AHA in the days of Jahai. Leah, her nickname
was thaw Hera
in Jahai, Leah before Islam, her nickname was the pure one thaw
Hera.
But because of her piety, while candidates voted to attend nakiya
She was pure she was aka Lavoisier. Now remember what we
said about businessmen and women just a minute ago. businessmen and
women recognize people a mile away. They read you when you walk
in the door. So don't think this brilliantly sharp woman who was
running a multi million dollar corporation, didn't see straight
through who he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
Khadija the Allahu Taala and was married twice as I said, and when
her second husband passed away, the rich does the proposals,
started coming,
kept knocking out the door. The narrator's they say no, but
Khadija said you know what? I'm gonna focus on raising these four
children
and building my business.
And here I would like to highlight.
Raising a family and devoting your life to raising a family is
nothing small.
That's Alim in the sight of Allah subhana wa Tada. We belittle that
and holidays. We we don't want to sacrifice anything for our
children. I'm gonna be real this Holika I try to keep it real. We
have celebrities having surrogate children, because you can't mess
up my trajectory of my career. Ya know, I'm so I'm gonna act like
I can't even carry you. Can you imagine when that kid is 18 and
somebody's like, Yo, you know, Shaman carry you habibi. Do you
imagine what that would do to a human being?
That was
didn't even enough to be carried.
Khadija said I'm not taking any more offers. I'm good. I'm going
to focus on my children. I'm going to raise them. I'm going to build
them up. But low key there was something else going on.
Low key something else was going on. There's a narration that's
mentioned in all of the books of Sita. You got to study Khadija
deeply and understand who was around her. Her cousin, was one of
the most profound, educated scholars of Christianity in the
city. Her own cousin, she herself was brilliant. And there's a
narration that says there was a day of celebration in Mecca.
There was a day of celebration in Mecca. And even as Hawk says,
Canada leanness, Nisa, equalisation, and Eden yesterday,
me and I see him in Masjid. There was a day when the Quraysh the
women used to get together and just have their own little party
together.
So they got together around the Kaaba.
And there was this one yahoodi there's this one yahoodi because
Medina is right, there's a large population of Jews. There was one
Jewish man he came, and he's kind of creeping them out Loki for
real. He's standing around so it's a sister's party. And dude just
chillin in the car like bro. Like, Bro, why are you sitting by the
door over there, man.
Like Loki through
it. You sitting by the door, man sit over here. Well, you by the
door. So he's
right. So he's SubhanAllah. He's sitting there and everyone's kind
of thrown off by this guy. And he says something. He says yeah, I'm
not sure Nisa Quraysh are women of Kadesh. In the who you shake for
your Hakuna be Yan. He says the time is coming for the final
prophet. What you got to understand is people of religion.
We're already waiting for Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam hit a
call in the Byzantine Empire had already expected he's already the
final prophet is here. The yahood Subhan Allah, the yahood of
Medina, used to poke fun at the mushriks of Medina, the non the
polytheist of Medina and say, You know what, the new prophet is
coming. And when He comes, watch what we do to ya. We'll see what
happens when he came. But the point I'm trying to get you to
understand is that the people of religion knew that the
Christianity of Jesus had been gone, and that it was time for the
final prophet to come. So they were waiting. So this man this
yahoodi says to the these women of Kodesh, he says, The time has come
y'all for the final profit. But then he says something that throws
them all off, he says for IU quinna is the third and takuna
Thirassia and Le who, whichever one, uh, y'all gets the chance to
marry him for the test. You better do it. But when you speak like
that to a group of women, that's very vulgar. So they all picked
up, you know, like for real? So they all picked up stones and
rocks and they start throwing at them. Like, get out of here. What
are you saying?
But the narration says, well, I'll have the Khadija to Allah podi
Hadees and never forgot it.
She remember she was like
my cousin what aka
this dude saying some weird stuff. Plus, she's a business woman who
gets news all in up and down the coast.
Khadija another Hola, Hawaiian when she saw Mohamed Salah day was
Sunday, and she saw the qualities
so even as Hawk says, for Waka daddy, Kofi Nuptse ha that sat in
her heart. She never forgot that. And then years and years later,
homicides, suddenly the young man appears, everyone's talking about
him and this and that.
So she hires the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to go
to Sham Basra to the edge of the Byzantine Empire at the time. And
she sends her servant Mesa Mesa as a very special person in this in
this story.
All of his uncle see him out first big business trip. And I mean,
like your mom tie your tie for you. Y'all know about that? Y'all
know like that. You know, she's happy You finally made it to the
big leagues. So the all the uncle see him out, and he's in charge of
this huge caravan of merchandise. And may SATA begins to be one of
the first people to start to see miracles. Because here's the deal,
ya
win aboubaker Hold up. You ready? When Abu Bakr Siddiq when people
ran up to him and said, you hear what Mohammed says today? Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is saying that in one night he went
to the heavens
I'm back and went to Jerusalem Israel and mount arch. And one
night he went and one night he traveled to Jerusalem and he
ascended into the heavens. Do you believe him they said this to Abu
Bakr the day after the journey that night journey
Abu Bakr looked him in the face. And he said, I believe something
even more, more amazing. I believe that revelation from God comes on
his heart. Everything else is easy. I believe that the infinite
Allah the Creator of this amount Watts without this massive
universe that has no end to our knowledge, is communicating with
us through this man he goes travel to Jerusalem, that ain't nothing.
I believe in Revelation.
Why am I saying that? Because right now, Allah subhanaw taala is
getting
Muhammad sai Salam, and people ready for the lights to turn on.
Let me give you example, yo, so you know when it's Fajr
and you was like 15
And your mom will wake you up. It was sudden Yo, I don't know I was
not Muslim but I'm just I'm assuming
she turned the lights on wake up. Lights on quick. yell at you. You
feel like he's Kiama
one day I was at my grandmother's house spending the night
she was beautiful mashallah she woke me up was no further from ya,
you know?
But the way she woke me up she started just rubbing my back
and I woke up slowly coming
she's like Michael, Michael, breakfast is ready.
Oh my grandma love you
mom and she just you turn the light on mashallah, Mashallah.
They got their own different love. See the lights on abruptly is
scary is shocking. But the lights gradually coming on, allow us to
get used to them. The prophets of Allah Al Salam is about to come
with the full *. Some of that light needs to start coming, or is
it gonna be too heavy for people?
You fill me. So Mesa mesa. He's traveling with him.
And the first thing we need to talk about
is Mesa said.
Mesa fell in love with the prophesy center. The narrations
say, by the time they got back, it was as if Mesa was hit was not a
servant for Khadija but a servant of Muhammad. He fell in love with
him, as did everyone who spent time with him. He fell in love
with him. And he said
he never lied. He never he's his business partner, y'all. Your
business partner knows man.
He they know you.
He says he never cheated anyone.
But then we made double profits.
What the whole caravan would bring we may double. There's baraka and
honesty.
There's Baraka in honesty, I'm telling you all your colleagues
saying get ahead by cutting corners, we get ahead by following
the Sunnah. That's a trusted, there'll be Baraka trust it from
the depths of your heart.
Mesa says, I saw crazy stuff.
Mesa said I knew this man was special. But you know what's
funny? Hold on, before we get to what he saw. Here's a question I
have.
What Mesa was sent by Khadija to watch him. But why?
She already knew how trustworthy he was. That's what he's known
for.
She was looking for deeper science.
Her these are the law and I'd heard what aka she used to always
go to Watarrka and listen to him talk about final prophet Jesus
revelation. She sent me Surah to see exactly what he saw. And what
did he see?
Mesa says the first thing I noticed the first miracle of
Prophet Muhammad I saw
is that as he was walking and we were in the desert, you imagine
that desert heat, our brother who's saying he's took that
journey through that desert, that desert, he is intense. Mesa said,
I noticed the caravan is large. He said I noticed that I would be
sweating in the sun. But when I would look at him, he would be in
the shade and I would look up and I would see clouds over him.
I would see the clouds above the Prophet. And he said I saw it once
I saw it twice. And he said I realized by the time we got to
Shem that the whole journey the Prophet
was covered by these clouds. He said, This is weird. What am I
seeing?
Then he says something else happened. He says when we got to
Basra
when we got to Basra, we enter into this. These new people these
are different people. These are the Byzantine they are Arabs
coming up from the depths of Saudi of Arabia. They're two completely
different but this is a common trade route so they're used to
these people coming up. This is a rare that the she thought he was
safe this is every year they make this journey.
So Mesa says, there was this monk named a stood who was in his
monastery, and he would sit by the road and watch the caravans come.
And we came and we came through the gates of Busan, we settled
down and we started to put our merchandise
and I started to unpack everything.
And Mohammed sigh Salim he was tired.
25 years old Mohammed, Mohammed the man so the lady was sudden,
and he goes and there's a tree he rests under the tree just to
collect himself.
The stool runs out.
And these are the words of the narration yah.
He comes out football and raw hip. He looks out of his monastery and
he sees Muhammad so I set it up so that all hipness thought he runs
over to Mesa the servant that was with the prophets I send him tasks
to watch him. He says man how the Raju led Tata had his shirt off.
He says Who is this man who's this man?
Paula who Mesa made a sutra he says it's a man from Quraysh were
from Allen Hara.
And he says none and I already know but who is he tells him his
name.
And Mesa says Wallah, my Nasrallah Tata had a shirt or cut to Elana V
Yan. This man is a prophet I know by where he sitting and how we
sitting. This man is a prophet of God. He said to me, SATA. Does he
have a slight redness in his eyes? And he makes that goes, yes, it
never leaves him.
The store goes who an OB. Mason doesn't know what a nubby is. He
goes, he's a prophet. He's the final prophet.
Now they do their merchandise they sell everything and may sawed off
says that at one moment, there was a man who was selling some stuff
with the prophets of Allah, it was Saddam. And the man started to
argue with the Prophet about the price. And he said to the Prophet,
and if billet will Erza take an oath by the gods locked in Erza.
And the prophets of Allah who Allah he was sending them, he
says, my whole life to be be him. I've got to I don't recognize
idols. I've never worshipped an idol in my life. I'll never swear
by them.
The man that in the stores then comes over and he says to me, sir,
again, this is the prophet that is written in our books. This is the
prophet that has written in our books. Now, a lot of us sometimes
think, if the Prophet SAW sighs, celluloid is sort of witnessed
this man coming up to him, then later in life, why was it so hard?
Well, let me put you in his shoes.
You go to New York City,
get off at the airport, you know, crazy city. And some dude looks
kind of homeless, walks up to you, what's your name?
You're
like, I'm out.
For the Rosu Salatu was Salam he, he's not proud, and especially
such a high mcbomb It's not like oh, you're a very nice person.
You're like, yeah, you know, no, you're a prophet of God, that also
it was a humble man. So this strange random person coming up to
him saying to him, who are you? What are you doing? Let me look at
you. You're the Prophet. He's like, who I don't. And he
continues with his life for later on. It all comes together like a
flashback. Y'all seen the movies before? Right? When that moment
comes it's all pieces together. It's all coming back. But in this
moment that are suicides enemies like I don't who are you? I got
business to do here. Please. Excuse me, sir.
Little suicide. Russell saw some he goes back with mesa. By this
time Mesa is like clay putty in his hands. Because of his o'clock.
He's like this man is special. He is special. He is special. He is
special. Immediately when they arrive back. May SATA goes
immediately to Khadija. Khadija is waiting. Tell me everything that
happened. And may Surah tells her everything.
And this moment,
Khadija broke the norms of society, Allah
she broke the norms of
society she said I want to marry
you don't do that. That doesn't fit with the ebb and the the the
social norms
she said how did it happen though? This is beautiful
this is beautiful already this the Tea Party do
this the beautiful part. See Hold on No. I told you every part of
his life was to prepare him for the message for the for the for
the job. See, you're not ready yet to carry this message until you've
carried a family.
Yeah, are you ready for it? I see that a suicide Saddam was a
shepherd. He learned how to control and care and look out for
beings that don't care for their own good. Then he became a
businessman. He learned how to understand people. Then he went
international. He learned how to understand different cultures. But
now he's not ready for the message yet. Because how can you carry
revelation? How can you carry Islam if you can't carry a child?
If you can't carry a wife if you can't carry a family
this is a part of the stages of what Allah wants us to do. And
learn
that also How did it happen is beautiful.
I know y'all like we try and shake we try it don't worry oh is it
it's written you know?
You just worry about cleaning yourself. Because the purity
within you will attract the purity from the other.
Work on yourself.
So what happens? The first thing is her sister gets gets involved.
Her sister the narration her sister's name is head head. The
narration says that Khadija and the head to head death admire
Ahmad Khadija goes to
two to her sister Hala and kind of says you know, I'm interested in
marrying Mohammed. hope hope. This is a story of pure hope. Pure hope
amazing love. A love with loyalty that doesn't end amazing story of
love between these two. So Subhan Allah Hi that goes highlighted
standing in the street somewhere. And that a suicide Sanam is
walking past with a mod vinyasa. Oh, man, that name.
He is someone who will go through so much in the future but we're
not there yet. Right now. He's just a friend of the Prophet SAW.
I said no. They're walking down the street and the highlight is
walking. She sees them and she says Amar

Allahu Akbar sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
May Allah make us so good. We don't see our goodness our problem
is the moment we start getting good we think we good girl
suicides enemies at the highest level. But he looks at Khadija and
he goes What's her level to me? Come on.
And it'd be nice bye.
Call a call to she says Nafisa Allah, I take care of that. Allah,
I'll take care of it. Paula for an alpha I'm down.
Well Lama it multiply the Allah one. When Khadija the Allah Who
and found out that there are Susana sub Allahu alayhi wa sallam
was ready to was ready to move forward. He called his uncle
called all the brothers called her uncle because her father had
passed already. And the marriage was done. But we're not done.
Because the story of Khadija and and his love for her, teaches
Muslim men what true love really means. It teaches us the ideal of
what love and in a marriage is about. Little suicide, Allahu
alayhi wa sallam, he never ever, ever forgot her. And I'm going to
fast forward and see to the moment she passes away. It's eight years
into Naboo after the boycott, where they starved Muslims to
death pretty much Khadija the Hola, Hawaiian when we come out of
the boycott. She's very old. 6564 years old.
The prophesize Helen married her the age of 40. That means 25 years
that was the love of his life.
When she passed away,
she passed away a few days or months after the boycott.
And she passed away theater on my lawn Subhan Allah
and the narration says that she passed away after having been
being with some with with the with the Rasul for 25 years. I think
that word needs to be
to be with someone for 25 years and then lose them. I can't
imagine.
What are the words that the narration says the prophets of
Allah how they was Saddam was deeply pained when she died. What
did he do? Well, Lizzie Mel beta who he didn't go out the house. He
didn't leave the house. He didn't feel like leaving. What a huge, he

Khadija. She says my letter to Allah and Robertson. I didn't have
any jealousy over any wives of the Prophet. So I said them the way I

name today why?
She helped him in his toughest moment.
The narrations that talk about him speaking about her Imam nawawi
says, he says these Hadith indicate to preserving love and
protecting someone in their death and life.
More narrations guess what else he used to do y'all?
Whenever a friend of hers was around, Oh man, look at the
prophets of Allah who it was salam. Listen to this narration.
I shuffle the Allahu anha she says John at a juicer. An elderly lady

Khadija was around,
she reminded me of the good old days, she reminded me of Khadija.
And one of the hard narrations I'll share with you and we can
read about what he was like as we end tonight.
One time this will take a little time to explain but it was after
the Battle of butter, I have to give you a little backdrop so you
get the full weight of the moment.
In the Battle of butter, a Buddha OS was captured and he's the
husband of Xena, the daughter of the Prophet sighs. So he's a non
Muslim yah, he was captured in this battle. And zeyneb is in
Mecca, the daughter of the Prophet sighs Allah and zeyneb is sending
something to ransom him to get him free.
Right? So Xena, she looks through her stuff and she finds a necklace
that her mother gave her when she got married, and she sends that
necklace to Medina to ransom. So all this stuff is coming. The
prophet is moving things around whatever.
And the moment the Prophet sallallahu wasallam sees the
necklace flashed back, everything comes back. Everything, the house,
the kids, the yard. It all comes back. It's just you pick something
up and it just all comes floods in.
It all floods in
and immediately his heartbreaks ferok Tharaka jinsha did it and he
just starts weeping, weeping weeping.
This was his love for Khadija for the Allahu Taala Anna This is what
a Muslim husband should should idealize.
This is who he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was he was loyal to the
last moment.
In this Wednesday night class, we read some of the life of his to
gain lesson. But we also read about his description so that we
can see him in our dreams and we can imitate the greatest blessing
is to see him in your dream.
That brother who saw me Have you seen him yet?
Yeah, I don't know the story.
So I want to read two things to ya about who he was sort of Allahu
alayhi wa sallam.
The first one that I want to read to you was about how personable he
was with people. Listen to this. Picture him. And while we're
listening just since autowatch Island Navy in your heart.
Anna says the Messenger of Allah was the most nozzle,
knowledgeable, conscientious, noble, just forbearing and chase
the people.
The prophets of Allah who it was salam was the best and most
generous and brave of people. The messenger of allah sallallahu
alayhi wa salam
Zayed bin sabot says, a group of people went to see Zaven Tabet
they said to him, Can you please tell us something about the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sunnah. He said, What shall I tell
you? I was his neighbor. When revelation would descend upon him,
he would sin for me and I would write it down. Allahu Akbar. When
we would speak about worldly matters. He would speak about them
as well. Meaning he wasn't like, Oh, you're talking about football
or Subhan? Allah Subhan Allah
La. He says when we would speak about worldly matters are suicide.
Saddam was speak with us.
And when we would speak about that hereafter, he would talk about
that al Qaeda too with us. When we would speak about food
He would say he would speak about it likewise.
That also said Allahu alayhi wa sallam would occasionally when we
were around him, we would occasionally recite, rehearse
poetry.
You know,
I mean this it is what it is. We would recite poetry
and his presence, and we would this I love this. We would
jokingly talk about the things we used to do pre Jamelia.
Subhanallah you know
we would joke about John Van, you'll remember we used to river
you know, some of you guys who went to med school together, you
talk about med school days. Hey, you remember that teacher? You
remember that? So when we would sit around and talk about Jamelia,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he would smile and look at
us and laugh. He was smile. He was there with us. sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam,
and he would not stop us. Until we said something haram we did
something wrong.
of people, the prophets of Allah Saddam was constantly smiling and
laughter in his presence in the presence of his companions. I love
this listen.
Every expressing ever expressing amazement with what they spoke to
him, meaning if you spoke to him, he was dialed in. Really? Wow spot
Allah.
He was there. Don't we wish we had Subhan Allah you tell somebody?
Yeah. Spot Allah. Where's the excitement? The Sunnah. Is that
excitement really clouds upon Allah and mean it be real.
She he says he would sometimes smile till his molars show that's
how big his smile would be.
Listen to this. One day, a Bedouin came to the prophets of Allah who
it was setting them alongside you. But his demeanor had changed, and
was unrecognizable to the Companions. He was in a different
mood and we didn't recognize the mood. The man wanted to ask the
prophets something so he was a Bedouin. So the way you got to
understand the hottie man de hottie there are Bedouins, they
they don't know the edit of the prophesy send them their Bedouin,
so they're really rough. They don't know that Adam. Now you
don't feel me. I'm saying that better ones they don't know the
manners. So they would say things off the cuff and they would say
things not in the right way sometimes, but the Sahaba loved
them, because they like we used to get the most juiciest questions
from the better ones.
We used to get the best questions we will be shy, the better ones
you'd like Excuse me.
So listen to this. I know there's brothers and sisters here for so
long. So we're going to end with this this beautiful. He says the
one of the Bedouins
almost to the other Cena Muhammad. The Bedouin key came and he wanted
to ask the prophet the quest, a question. And we said to him, oh,
Bedouin, don't do it. Don't you see like he's not in his normal
state right now. The veteran replied, by Allah who sent him
with truth. I'm not going to leave here till I make him smile. He
then goes, y'all rasool Allah
Subhan Allah. Don't you wish you had friends like that? Allahu
Akbar Sahaba were special.
He said, yo rasool Allah. We have heard
that when the Antichrist the JAL comes, He will punish people with
no food
and they will be dying from hunger. And he says, they'll have
fried the Zhao will have fried fried is just just imagine like
Brioni or Magoo, Luba, right, that the gel will have fried and he'll
be tempting us.
So I asked a question your Rasulullah May my mother and
father be sacrifice for you?
Do you think I should refrain from the third eat
and die of Amantha emancipation?
What's the word? Not emancipation. emancipation. I'll try to get a
look at my hair. You give me the wrong word emancipation.
emancipation, should I die from hunger?
But then he goes, or should I listen to what he says? Or should
I eat the third eat and when I'm full say I believe in Allah and I
believe in little soul. The Prophet laughed so hard when he
heard this sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was beautiful in
all of his ways. People have asked where are we going to continue
this in Ramadan? And I thought to myself What better way to spend
the moments before we break our fast but learning for 40 minutes
45 minutes about the beauty of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. So inshallah this Holika is going to continue in Ramadan.
And it'll be shifted to prior to to the same time as the roots
programs will be shifted to prior to Mazel tov. Inshallah, I'll see
you on the other side of Ramadan. Yo. So may Allah allow us to reach
it. Just Allah Allah if we make it and hamdulillah we've witnessed
the blessing month, May Allah give us love of the Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam May Allah allow us to appreciate and
learn from the lessons of his life Subhanallah because it is ephone
wa salam ala l Mursaleen. What Hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen
If we could call the dawn we are like
