I'll see you then I went to Vienna Omona Muhammad wa ala alihi wa
sahbihi wa salam
Allah Houma in earnest Luca who Buck Will Obama you have book will
have Obama the new car Ivana Isla cubic yard hammer raw he mean, we
ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us the love of his Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa salam in his footsteps, this Holika series that
we've been doing is all about knowing Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam more increasing our love, and will have before
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sahbihi wa salam. And
the only way to do that the only way to truly appreciate who he is,
is to study his life to read it regularly to stay connected to it.
No matter how many times we've heard the different stories of his
life and to see it, they never change, but we change and as our
circumstances changes in life, then we can act differently to
those different moments in his life. And so we typically, when we
read it, we typically read from a portion of his life as we go
chronologically as this message was coming to him and as he was
spreading this Deen to people, and then we also read from his
character as well, because one thing is to read his biography but
the other thing is to read what is called Shema and or how he carried
himself how he, how he was when he carried himself. And so I want to
start this week with a narration in which it's a beautiful
narration, because it speaks about how the prophets of Allah who it
was salam used to carry himself it's beautiful at somebody in
error rates, and how can they narrate that Zaid Bin Sana? who
was
who? Uh, no, he says, was the noblest of learn Jews who embraced
Islam. So this man by the name of Zaid, he's a, he's Jewish at the
time of the prophets of Allah who it was salam. He says, apart from
two, there were no signs of Prophethood except that I could
recognize them in the face of Mohammed Salah Lottie was salam,
when I looked at him. And this is what they say about him. So Allah
who it was salam, they say that when you looked at his face, once
a hobby says, I looked at his face, and I knew right away, later
watch a cadaver. This was not a face of a man that could lie. So
he says, I looked in recognize every sign in him. But there were
two signs, there were two signs that I had yet to test out.
And they were that his forbearance overcomes his anger. And that
extreme ignorance only increases him in forbearance. So what this
means is that he knew from the total and the descriptions, from
the people of the book, he knew that the signs two signs, or that
whenever he was angry, whenever he was really angry, then his
forbearance would would kick in it would come over that anger, and it
would quell that anger. This is a Mohammed and trade sallallahu
alayhi wa salam. And the second sign was that if you increase him
in ignorance, he increases you in forbearance. He increases you in
forbearance. This is important because the out of the out of
the Bedouin Arabs, they were, they used to say, if you get ignorant
with us, we just put more ignorant on top of that. That's how they
were they were like, No, we're not your focal Jaya. Helia jehlen.
That's what they used to say what Nigel focal Jaya Helia jehlen. You
want to ask silly what we'll put silly on top of silly, but there
are suicides send me came? No, you have to become the custodians of
this message around the world. And so the way to respond to ignorance
is not with more ignorance, but with forbearance. And so he says,
I wanted to test these two traits, and listen to what he says.
So he said, I behaved pleasantly with the prophets of Allah Azza wa
sallam and hope of interacting with him and coming to know his
forbearance and anger. And so I bought some dates from him. That
would be delivered to me at a later date. So I gave him the
money and the dates will be given to me later, I paid the price for
them.
Two or three days before delivery date, I went to the prophets of
Allah who it was salam. And I pulled them by his his shirt. And
I gave him a stern look in the face. And I said, Oh, Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa salam. Will you not give me my right? By Allah
you you you chosen of Abdul? mipela You guys always
procrastinate. Subhan Allah Subhanallah Omar, I'm going to cut
Bob was standing right there, man.
I mean, he was testing it. But he don't know how close he got.
He says, almost said, oh enemy of Allah.
How dare you speak to the messenger like that? While I'm
this close to you,
by Allah if I didn't fear that it would break our treaty that I
would have hit you right now.
The whole time, the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam,
Salam o Allah al Habib,
the prophets of the light is sending was looking at OMA with
tranquility and deliberation. He wasn't looking at the Jew.
I don't care how they act up.
When I used to go somewhere, and other kids running around, now
Yeah, mom's ain't like mine.
She was I don't care how they act, how you act? How do we carry
ourselves, he doesn't care about him. He's looking at our own load
the last one in this moment. So he looks at him SubhanAllah.
And he's smiling. Then he said, Listen to these deep words. He
said, he and I OMA, are in more need of something else from you.
Meaning what you're giving us right now, this negative energy is
not what we need in this moment. And I think this is beautiful,
because instead of being reactionary, we need to be people
that give them what they need in the moment that they're in. So in
this moment, the Prophet SAW Selim, he said, We don't need this
from you. You're stirring up agitation. You're making things
get more rowdy. He's like, this isn't what I need from you. And
this isn't what he needs from you. He goes rather than a su
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, Omar, what you should do,
rather the Allah one, tell me to pay him what is owed, and tell him
to seek what is owed in a well mannered way.
It's Pam pan, Allah Subhan Allah, go with him. Now he tells Alma
read the Allah one, go with him, go with him.
And seek what is a go with him and give him what he is owed. And then
he goes and add 20 saw on top of it, I 20 saw put 20 More of what
was owed, because you scared them.
Because You scared him.
Omar did as he was told.
I then said to Omer, this is a the the person who's Jewish at the
time. He says I said to Omar,
where you don't understand.
I have come to recognize all but two signs in the prophet hood. In
the face of the Prophet, I've seen every sign that he is who he is.
When I looked at him, I knew who he was. There were only two signs
that I didn't test out yet. And they were that his forbearance
overcomes his anger. And I want you to, to look inside yourself
because the reason that we connect to the Sunnah is not for stories,
it's not for to bask in the stories. It's for it to transform
us.
And in these days have suffered these days of patients these days
of hunger. Ask yourself, Am I one that my, my anger is overcome? My
forbearance overcomes my anger or not? This means I'm getting closer
to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And it can be something
that makes it easier for you to overcome that anger. When you are
swallowing that anger in that moment. And it's like, what am I
getting out of this? What you're getting is closeness to Habib's
that Allah who it was, what you're getting by overcoming that anger
in that moment is close and so that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam.
He said, there were two signs. One of them was that his forbearance
overcomes his anger. And number two is that extreme ignorance only
increases him in forbearance. I tested him, but I call you to bear
witness, oh my God. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord. I am
pleased with Islam is my religion. And I am pleased with Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa salam as my prophets of Allahu alayhi wa
salam. So where did we leave off that? We left off at the
Fatah to the Ye, which was the pause in Revelation. So the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has been going to Florida
head off for a year and a half now, seeking out he Daya from
Allah seeking out guidance from Allah. And in that one dark night
in that one night on the 17th of Ramadan, according to urbanists
up, revelation comes for the first time.
Gabriel hugs him three times, three times three times, it got
out, he says, I can't read, I can't read I can't read. And
finally the first revelation begins. In that moment, he flees
straight to Cadiz out of the Allahu Taala on, he says, Hold me
Hold me, she holds him and then finally, after he calms himself,
she gives him security. She says, No, you are a special man because
of the service you do to people not because of the a bad that you
do. But because of the service to the people you did. We talked
about this last night. It was a service of people. It was a
service of your family that let her know that Allah will never
forsake you. So then what happens next she takes him to Watarrka
just recapping, she takes him to water Kawartha listens closely.
He's 90 years old. He's gone blind already. But he's been waiting
for this moment for everything, this final prophet to come.
And in that moment, he says, I wish I was young. And from that we
said, subhanAllah look at the opportunities you have around you,
and take advantage of your youth before you get old. The prophets I
send them he said, there's five things to take advantage before or
five. And one of them is Chabad that covered how to make take
advantage of being young before you're old. And then in that
moment, what aka slips up, and he says, Man, I wish I could be
around the day that the people kick you out.
And the prophets, I seldom get scared because he's been loved by
people for so long. The prophesy centum has never had to be someone
to go against what people expect. He stayed away from idolatry, no
doubt, but everyone loved him. And this is really important because a
lot of times for us, we're having to do things that society doesn't
like, we have to speak on things society doesn't like we have to
pray in the airport, LOL Akbar.
Yummy, whatever.
And that means you're going against the grain you're going
against.
But I want you to understand that you are like him, in the prophets
of Allah, they were selling them he said to Bible, hoorah to
ballyhoura Glad tidings to the strangers, glad tidings to the
strangers, glad tidings to the strangers. So Rasulullah
sallallahu wasallam, he comes to watercolor watercolor tells him
who he is.
And then he goes back home. And now the prophets of Allah who it
was sent him his waiting for that, that connection again. That
feeling again, you know, once you get that feeling of closeness to
Allah, then we always keep looking for it again, we searched for it.
So he wanted that connection. He wanted to see God again. But it
didn't happen. It didn't happen. And so the narration says that
there was a pause in Revelation. What this means is for the next 10
to 40 days, Gibreel didn't come in the prophets of Allah, who it was
salam himself, he began to get very anxious. Like, when will he
come back? When will he come back? When will he come back?
And he was confused, because he got confirmation from waterco
about who he was. But I want you to understand it was in this
moment that he saw a lot he was selling was coming to terms with
who he was.
This was his time of acceptance. This was his time of understanding
what his role and responsibility was. So what did he do? He went
back to his place. He went back to his place of solitude. He returns
to the get to the cave of Gaudi Hara, this place three miles away
from the Kaaba. And he's they're going back and forth there.
Because this is where Gabriel came to me last time, maybe I'll come
back again. And the narration says is it send me a Sultan, he heard a
voice. And the prophets lie, Selim, he says, For far too long.
See, I lifted up my head.
And he said, I looked at the horizon in the sky. And he said,
everywhere I looked left and right, all I could see was Gabriel
Jeeva. is filling the horizons in his true form. He says every other
time he came to me, he came to me in a in a form that I could
handle. He didn't come to me in his true form, because I couldn't
handle that interaction. So he goes, he came to me and my true
form. And in that moment, he says to the Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa salam, according to some narrations, he says, Anna Gibreel
I will answer rasool Allah, formal introduction. Now, you know, it's
not the Watarrka it's not through your wife telling you it's not
through some monk of back in Syria that we met 20 years ago.
Now Gabrielle goes energy real. Well, Antara rasool Allah.
He did what any person would do again, he enjoyed the moment but
he was scared. So he runs again back to Khadija.
And he says cover me cover me and now instead of giving him a break,
the revelation comes right again, right in the arms of Khadija the
Allahu and yeah, I you have more depth there.
Oh, you who's covered up going for and they're from this word boom
for under say, say to put up he writes from this moment the world
changed from Mohammed sly Salam. See you don't understand. If Quran
was the first time he became a prophet, an OB that an OB is one
who's given information from God. But this is the moment he became
moto Su. And it assumed me somebody sent that means he has a
job to do. And the first words are Kuhn.
Stand up, stand up. You can't stay wrapped up like that. Stand up
boom.
The scholars they say, from the moment he heard the word gloom for
the next 23 years he never took a seat.
He never took a seat. He just kept calling, kept calling, kept
standing, kept standing, kept standing from this moment boom for
another stand and warn the people you have a job to do warn that
people want them
what up Bucca Kabir
and glorify your Lord say Allahu Akbar.
What the Avoca Fatah head, purify your garment, purify your clothes.
It was at this moment also
Subhanallah that the first injunctions are given.
It was at this moment that the prophets of Allah who Allah He was
salam
was,
was given prayer and will do.
So let's look at this. The prophets of Allah who it was
salam, he's given an extra the knowledge of the oneness of God.
And then an IU Hello dafair He's given this message that you're a
prophet of God. And the next days because after Are you adding more
depth it it starts coming. The words in the Hadith are heavy,
actually, the word he heated up the why he heated up And
subhanAllah the word heated up comes because when the Prophet die
son Allah there was salam. O man, amen. She says we used to get it
fresh. You know, I like going to my mother in law's house, y'all,
cuz she makes those promises.
But they only really tight when they're hot. Yo,
when you could barely touch him.
I'm sorry, about the break fast, right? We all like I was
wondering, like what's going on? Not Subhanallah she says we used
to get revelation fresh. So from this moment, Revelation started
coming fast. If Quran comes? No God is one. stand for Allah. Are
you * Madatha comes. You're a prophet Mohammed Syed Selim, you
have a job to do. It's time to get ready. You have to be clean. You
have to glorify allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and then the next
revelation. Yeah. Are you held Muslim men? Who may Leila Allah
kalila. See, listen?
Where will you'll Where will your strength come?
To stand up to the difficulties that this dunya is going to throw
at you especially when you're trying to spread this message of
Islam to people whenever you're trying to practice it and whenever
you're trying to get other people to recognize La ilaha illAllah
Muhammad Rasool Allah, where will you get strength from?
Who may Leila Illa Polyfilla pmla
Praying at nighttime.
Praying at nighttime zikr at nighttime Solitude at nighttime, I
read I read a narration Subhan Allah, where the Rasulullah
sallallahu wasallam. He says to observe, he says to Abu that he
goes up without
do you prep for a journey when you have to go on one?
A Buddha goes Yes, of course. He goes. What about for the journey
of Athleta?
Are you ready for that? Are you ready for the journey of the
Arcata
and then he tells them a few things to do. He says fast in the
hot days.
It will be cooling this for you on the Day of Judgment. Stand in the
darkness of night and prayer. It will be light for you in your
grave. cuyama Leila is a special a bad and a lot of what we feel in
Ramadan. It's all through the buttock of keyamo Lail standing at
nighttime and prayer.
But it's not just about the Iams with everyone. It's about beyond
by yourself. It's about your moments of solitude, just you and
Allah subhanaw taala so Surah Muzammil is revealed and Sunnah
Musa Mel is saying Kumi Leila stand that night. The only way
you'll stand that day is if you stand at night.
The only way you'll stand that day is if you stand at night, in our
saloon at our Laker Poland.
Peeler Allah has like something heavy is about to come on you
and if something heavy is about to come on your shoulders hope you
did leg day
hope you did leg day
and leg day for us we all feel in leg day Tada we
stand at nighttime. The prophesy Selim use the stand in prayer
until his feet would swell
this Is this his
To me because yesterday
yesterday one of the Shabaab man, he came up to me and he said,
Sheriff, you know in hurdles. This was last night. He said shake in
hurdles. You talked about piano late.
And he said,
he's like, I haven't missed a piano lessons that he's like in
the change I feel in my heart is unprecedented.
Start with Kiama laid. You know why pmla is so special because
it's so intimate. It's so intimate. It's just you and Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah.
Yama lay down beside the Hain priamo lady standing at nighttime
and prayers, the way of the only
the only people of sincerity can get up in the middle of the night
and pray. So even in these nights as we all stand, make sure you
pull away from the group and have moments by yourself where it's
just you and Allah because that's where your strength truly comes.
It was in these moments that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was taught will do and Salah How was he taught? So the
narration is beautiful. The narration says Osama bin Zaid, he
says that under Jibreel a TA and the V. Gabriel came to the
prophets of Allah de was salam
in the beginning, right right at this first few days of Revelation.
And he taught him who the narration says that Gabriel says,
Come Muhammad, let me teach you and He digs his wind down into the
ground and water starts to come from the ground. And Gabriel
begins to make will do he begins to make will do and as Gabriel
makes will do. The prophets of Allah audio Selim is watching his
every movement and making wudu with him. The Scholars say that
this was a tough one I'm elated to be to be a family. It was a real
example. You know, a lot of us. We haven't really learned our deen
from a teacher.
We heard about who? I know who your mom told you one day I'll go
make well do you were like alright, chips.
But have you actually like taking the time. Like I can remember
clear as day sorry to get in this strategic I remember clear as day
to day I took shahada
it was in this house Masjid in Buffalo New York
and in the basement they had this makeshift will do thing.
And the guy he brought me said sit down next to me.
And he began to wash his hands one at a time. And what I want to I
want to stop because a lot of us treat will do. Like it's just I
gotta get to Salah LA. Boo Boo is one of the most important the
baddest we have
will do is that that external purification which by the way from
a hygienic perspective changed the world.
From a hygienic perspective, we were making wudu five times a day
before people were taking baths in a week.
But not to mention it's spiritual though. And I'm telling you slow
down in your wudu don't treat it like I'm going through something
there's a narration I want to I want to read to you listen to
this. E that's what I've been Muslim. See hold up a lot of you
like yo hot tub I will do my they will do since I was like five
pillars Hold on. No. No, you have to understand. The things that
will give you closeness to Allah are the same things you've always
been doing but re bringing meaning to them.
There is no different formula I can give you it's all there but we
got to bring back meaning to it. But also allah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam he said either to what the Abdel Muslim, when a Muslim
makes will do
some masala watch. And you wash your face, all of the sins that
you looked at with your eyes are gone. And they drip away with each
drop that is dripping from your face, it's just dripping off. And
then when you wash your hands, every sin that you have reached
your hand towards or now as we scroll Subhan Allah, every sin is
dripping off with the drops. You have to picture that to bring that
reality to your will do.
And then it says when you wash your your arms, the same thing.
When you wash your feet, every sin that you walk to. This is the
virtue of Whoo. So the prophets I send them he watches Gabriel make
will do and he follows him. So what I was saying first, is have a
teacher. Make sure you've learned from someone the proper way I go
on YouTube, do what you got to do. But you know, I'm trying to say
make sure you've learned it. And I remember that day clear as clear
as as if it was yesterday when he walked me through the woowoo and I
felt that I've been purified in a way that I
I've never been purified in my life
purified in a way that I had never been purified in my life. Because
I had read in the Scriptures that Jesus used to wash up before
prayer, but we didn't know how
was that what he just took a shower
now
and so, so the who he teaches Gabriel teaches will do to
Gabriel teaches will do to the prophet and the prophet emulates
him. And then the prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam Gabriel gets
up, and he says, Follow Me in prayer.
And now the first prayer of our OMA is prayed. Do you know what
it's like to find Salah after searching for Allah for years?
Do you know what it's like to have the formula that the prophet has
taught you after you've been just making it up on the way along the
way? The prophets of Elijah was salam follows Gabriel. He teaches
him to have prayer. Immediately the prophets of Allah it was salam
rushes home. What do you think he did when he got home?
Khadija, I gotta teach you something. So much sort of algebra
algebra to left for ya rasool Allah Khadija the Prophet goes to
Khadija for the fatawa Allah Ha, he's like, watch me, watch me, and
he does will do for her.
And she follows him.
Come on out or who God just as Gabriel had told him, so she made
will do the way he did will do. And then he prayed. He prayed.
And as he prayed, she prayed with him are also the law. So the law
they will sell him in one Hadith. He says Allah I do look Whom shall
I not tell you of something that will wipe away all of your sins
and elevate your status?
You're like,
Nah, sobre like Yeah, please.
I'm gonna try that again. The prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam,
he says, Shall I not telling you something that will wipe away all
of your sins and elevate your status.
They said Bala ya rasool Allah, please. Please let us know your
rasool Allah He said number one is Bible will do Allah mCherry doing
a complete will do even though you don't feel like it
even though you don't feel like it complete we'll do get those feet
in the sink and everything between the toes
what Catherine haha lol massage it. The prophesy Salim said number
two. A lot of steps to the masjid.
When you really get woke, you start parking far away from the
masjid door.
When you come in the masjid and you see that one car away off,
they're not worried about the car getting scratched.
They want more steps to the masjid. They want more steps. They
want more steps. They want more steps.
I used to roll with a concert crew in the early days. We used to just
take small steps
it doesn't say big steps it says more steps. Just take a few like
smaller steps make that cadence shorter
and then the prophets Allah says He said number three will include
a lot of Salah by the salah to wait for one Salah after the other
slide just in that you just prayed Maghrib low key you don't got
nothing else to do.
You just say I'm gonna wait for Isha
into the auto Salah bada Salah was about to go anyway. Let me just
sit in the machine and wait for Salah.
So now at this moment, brothers and sisters,
the conversions begin.
Now he has a mission.
He has a mission that also said Allah had a was salam. He has to
call everyone.
But how does it begin?
We learned from this moment that all change you want to bring in
the world starts with you first and then your family. You can't be
concerned about changing the world. inside your house.
Everything is in shambles. When the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam got this message, the first thing he did was he started to
give Dawa to Khadija first and she accepted right away. She was
believing in him as he believed in himself.
But who's in his house? Brothers and sisters as we know this was
not a
this there were 10 people living in this household.
This was a household of responsibility in dependence. The
prophesy son had four daughters one just born
Ali Radi Allahu an was brought in how old is it? It is 10 years old.
What happens one day the Prophet satellites I mean Khadija are
praying Salah within the first week of getting the salah.
They're praying together to
which is something Subhan Allah.
One day was
one day heavy. He's praying with YC Allahu Akbar. And then Ali Radi
Allahu Anh comes. He's only 10 years old. Listen to this
beautiful narration it's absolutely beautiful.
It's beautiful.
The narration says
Canada suicide cinema Khadija you SallyAnn Siran. They used to pray
quietly together.
They used to pray quietly together. At this point people
don't know about Islam. Because the prophets I sent him his order
to keep the message quiet right now. Don't tell everyone don't
spread it. Why? Because we're not ready for that. For the first
three years of the message is quiet, meaning people are
accepting Islam, but this guy might accept and he might not even
know that this brother is Muslim. Because they're all keeping it low
key because here's the deal. A lot of us when we convert, or we make
that change, it's as if we want the whole world to know. But
sometimes you need to grow quietly first. So the first three years
everything from this point on was called Dawa, to sillery secret
Dawa where we only call people one to one and it wasn't done public
yet. So listen to this, Khadija and Rasul sighs Selim, husband and
wife praying together.
soom in Ali Ali is 10 years old. He walks in and he sees them
praying and bowing.
When the prayer was done, he said my father, yeah, Mohammed,
Mohammed, so I sent him to it. It's like, it's like a father. You
could say he adopted him from a young age. So he says, What is
this? Now this is beautiful because someone sees you praying.
And they're gonna ask you, like, what were you doing?
What were you doing?
And now the prophesy centum is being asked for the first time
someone saw him praying, caught him praying almost. And he goes,
What are you doing?
The prophets of Allah today was telling him he goes
Deen Allah, Allah, the estafa is the file enough? See, this is the
religion of Allah that Allah has chosen. Well, Botha be heroes. So
this is the religion that he has sent all the MBR with. And he
calls this young boy, he says, well, either uka Illa Allah, and
I'm calling you to believe in Allah.
I'm calling you to give up worship of these idols. For Karla, ie 10
years old, but he's brilliant. Hi, there. I'm an alum asthma behave
Fabula young. He goes, I never heard of this before. I never
heard of this before.
So let's do B OD and Ahmed and Honda. I can't make a decision
until I go talk to Abu Boyle and his father.
What Katie I want you to get close to this. What Cuddy has rasool
Allah and Yoshi, Allah He cetera. Kabbalah is startling Amara who
the prophesy Salam did not want this affair to become public
before he was ready for that.
So he said to leave, he said listen,
if you don't want to accept and keep it quiet, if you want to
accept and accept, but don't tell anyone yet. The reason I'm saying
this is I want us to understand the importance of growing in quiet
the prophesy centum he said Is there enough Allah ha genetic on
how you can build kits man that seek help through Allah's support
through silence? keep things quiet.
A lot of us the moment you do something right away you telling
everybody did you know what I did? Lie keep it low key grow quietly
Rasul Allah so I said I'm taught us that this is the way the eemaan
will grow.
So what happens idea or the or the Allah one for Mecca it till kelela
So he didn't tell us that for Mecca it till kelela He stays that
night thinking soom in Allah Tabata Allah, Oh, can you tell me
early Islam? He woke up in the next morning, and he went to
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he said he didn't
accept he said, Can you present what you presented yesterday?
Yesterday to me again? Can you present that to me? The prophets
of Allah he was salam. He says, I present to you Islam. I'm asking
you to give up idolatry to worship Allah to believe in me as the
final prophet. And in that moment for for either Ali Ali s lemma,
from that moment I lead or the Allahu Allah and he accepts Islam
and he's with the prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam, he
supporting the prophets of Allah it was sudden. It said that in the
early days that I lead or the Allahu Allah and the Prophet they
used to sneak off into the valleys of Mecca. They used to sneak off
in
To the valleys of Mecca to worship quietly so no one could see them.
So it's narrated that once the prophets of Allah was sending was
with it, he's only 10 years old and they're going off into the
valley so worship
and they're praying Salah
when Abu Talib happens to come through that area. The narration
says that a bill toilet This is the first time he's hearing about
this. He's seeing this for the first time. What does Abu Talib
do? He says Muhammad What is this? Id What is this? It looks at the
prophets of Allah who it was Selim and the prophet speaks.
For God a leader Sula, Yebin, RP, nephew Maha the lady to Dino be he
was this religion you're practicing? Allah AM. When asked,
here's the deal. Islam was being kept secret at this time. But
whenever knew anyone asked him, he spoke clearly about it. He spoke
clearly about he told them what it was. But he wasn't publicly giving
it to everyone so that we could grow stronger.
I can't tell you the number of times I've spoken to people who
just revert it and I think keep it low key. So you could grow
stronger, so you could grow stronger.
I made the mistake first week become Muslim. I go on the block.
I'm Muslim now.
I don't know nothing. Nothing. I'm Muslim.
One dude, he comes up to he goes okay. So it's like the the
ignorant questioning the ignorant. So he says, Okay, you muslim Nazi?
Yeah, I'm Muslim. He said y'all wash up before prayer. I know that
Muslim. Uh, yeah. The guy just taught me that the other day. He
goes, Do you use soap or not? Now, I don't know.
When I'm thinking Muslims are clean. So I go, Yeah, we use salt
when he's like, Nope, wrong.
Wrong, wrong. And I'm like, Man, I wish I just kept it to myself. So
I can grow by myself first, and be strong on my team first, before
trying to put everything out there. So in this moment, in this
moment, I will call him he asked the Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
What is this Deen? And in that moment, the prophet speaks clear.
I'm had a dino Dino law. He says Uncle. This is the religion of
Allah. This is the religion of the melodica This is the religion of
all the prophets. This is the religion of your forefather
Abraham. Allah has sent me with a message See, he's speaking clear.
And he then he says, What Antonia? Am you Oh, my uncle. How common
Baba Tula who? Naseeha you're the one that I care about the most
with the Oh 211 Houda you're the one I want to call to the truth.
Wahaca and you should be the one to answer me first. You know me.
And that moment I will call him he says Abernathy.
Lest any last Saturday Oh, I cannot split from my my people's
way of life. But you know what? I'll make sure no one touches you.
In that moment. I leave it standing there. Because his his
his. His, you know, uncle and his father are talking. And he's just
been caught worshiping with his uncle.
So are these 10 years old? What do I do in this moment? In that
moment, subhanAllah Abu Talib asked Ali. And what are you doing?
What are you doing?
A boy named Maha. The lady untidy What do you want?
He says, Yeah, Betsy, are meant to be Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. He says that I believe in the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam was a duck to be magia. The I believe was so late to Maya
and I pray with him too. Now that you know, I'm telling you
everything.
For the AMA, and then it's narrated that his father said,
Okay, Muhammad would never ever call you to something except that
it is good. Hold on to it. Be close to him.
Be close to him. These are the early days. From this moment. The
next thing that happens is the prophets of Allah who it was
salam, he goes to his closest friend. He did not go to people
randomly. The prophets of Allah to send them chose people
specifically because of their impact in the society. Abu Bakr,
Siddiq, Radi Allahu Taala and we'll end with him. Abu Bakr
Siddiq has known the prophets of Allah who it was sent him since
before in Nobu.
Abu Bakr Siddiq is well known amongst the Quraysh he knows the
lineages of everyone he's well engrossed in the people,
respected, honored, well traveled.
well traveled
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he goes to him and the
prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam he tells
was us, my Dad Oh to a hidden. I never gave Dawa to anyone. I never
called anyone to this message, except that they hesitated for a
second. They thought about it for a second they they paused and
said, let me get back to you that he said Illa Abubaker except
aboubaker. The moment I called him, he said, I knew you were I
knew there was something special about you from day one. I believe
in you. I believe you. He turns around immediately. And then
within one week, and within one week, he brings more than 10
people through the door one by one, one by one, y'all Rasulullah
he's ready to take his Shahada. He's ready to take his Shahada.
He's ready to take his shahada, he's ready to take his Shahada.
But as I said, this wasn't public knowledge. Everyone didn't know
about it. And for this reason, we'll end with this. For this
reason there were people that said I was the fourth one to accept
Islam. And there were 10 people before him like bro, we've been
Muslim. But no one knew because everyone was keeping it low key.
Everyone was hiding their Islam it was only here and there that
people found out about other people's Islam. So from this
moment, the prophets of Allah Wa Dae was salam. His Risala has
begun. Salah will do don't sleep on Salah and will do so Allah is
the beginning of this Deen how much time so Allah is the
beginning. Salah is everything Yeah, Chabad. Yasha Bab Salah is
everything five minutes Salah is everything yeah Shabbat
everything is our salah. The prophets of Allah is Salman is
first moments the first thing he's given his rule and salah, and if
Cara Bismillah pica de holla but the last thing he says the last
speech he ever gives a Salah, a Salah. It says if everything in
between doesn't matter if you got it from the beginning, and you got
Salah at the end, why testing will be humbling law. It is the rope
that we hold it is your connection to Allah. The Baraka that we feel
in this month is not just from the fasting, but it's because of the
connection we have with the Salah. So ask Allah to give you a love
for the salah. ask Allah to give you a love for the Rasul ask Allah
to give you a love for moments of solitude with him. Ask Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah to make us people that hold on to the Sunnah.
Hold on to the Sunnah and emulate his ways in every way. Let's make
