Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Satan are going
to be in our Maulana Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa salam, ala
Houma. Inanna Luca hubback will hold them in your head book will
hold the almond in your pottery buena Isla for the camera he mean
this is our I think like 19 session of in his footsteps. And
it's a class in order for us to increase our love of the
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
And before I get into the next part of his life, I wanted to
share some words that scholars have written about how the
prophets of Allah it was sometimes humility before Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah was and the tears that he shed,
the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was constantly in
a state of humility, and loneliness before Allah subhanaw
taala throughout all of his hate and pain, the echo
throughout all of his of the great events of his life, and in all
acts of prayer and devotion, and all of his affairs in his
teachings, sermons and revelations he received, and in everything
that he saw the lady who sent them did his humility when praying
reached such an extent that a sound could be heard coming from
his chest that they say, sounded like a boiling pot. One of the
scholars one of the Sahaba they say that my father said I saw the
Messenger of Allah praying and his chest was was was was shaking,
trembling, trembling, and it had to sound as if water was boiling
in a pot.
Ibn Jose Mahina is the ollie he said that there was no horseman
amongst us on the Day of brother except MC Dodd. You could have
seen us every one of us was asleep except for the prophets of Allah.
It was Saddam who was beneath a tree praying and weeping until the
morning.
The this is who he was sort of Allahu Allah. He was salam
constantly in a state of submission to Allah subhana wa
taala. In the second year, last last week, we talked about this,
this battle of bundle and the Battle of butter was so clutch
because there were so few of us there was only 313 of us against
this massive army and we were completely underprepared for it.
And we saw the blessings of Allah subhana wa Tada that came in that
moment, and we talked about that last week. This week, I want to
talk about another moment in his life in the second year. And
before I get going, I wanted to share one narration. It's a
narration in the beginning of many books of Sierra that they say
Sahaba, the tabby and the children of the sahaba. They say that we
used to study the Sierra the way our parents used to teach us, the
Sierra come out the way you teach your children Quran is really deep
because what it's saying is like, the same way we sit with our
children and we teach them Kulu Allahu Ahad in Atlanta culpa the
same way, we sit there and recite it with them, the tabby, they're
saying this was the way that we learned the Sierra as well. And
the reason is that the Quran always has to be connected to the
life of the lawsuits that Allahu Allah He was sunnah. Switching.
Okay.
And so, this evening, we're going to be talking about a very
critical moment. Shamu. This works. Similar. This, we're not
testing testing. We're going to be talking about something that's
still there. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. We're
gonna be talking about a very critical moment in the life of
those who was second year of Hijra. And this was the year in
which the people of Kool Aid the people of Mecca had just suffered
this horrible defeat. And they were the leaders of the Arabian
Peninsula. So everyone looked up to them. And so their honor was
really hit hard. Their arrogance was really hit that they lost
against this, you know, ragtag group of, of believers. And so
they gathered all of their forces, and they gathered people from the
outskirts of Mecca. And they said, you know, we're going to put it
into this, our objective is to kill Muhammad, and they're setting
out to go attack Medina, this will be called as we all know, the
Battle of Oxford. So massive moment, a massive moment in the
life of the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Abbas is the
uncle of the prophets of Allah had a was salam. And some scholars say
low key He's already a Muslim, low key he's already most Muslim, but
he's keeping it low and the prophesy centum is keeping him
there so that he can send word what's going on the moment Abbas
heard about what's happening, he sent someone as fast as they can
go, go tell the prophets of Allah who it was salam that the Qureshi
are coming in, they're coming 3000 deep. And this is a massive army
for this time. This is unfathomable. 3000 You know, fully
armed with all types of the latest weaponry of the time, the latest
weaponry of the time. And so this person gets to the prophets of
Allah hottie was salam
And Rasulullah sai sent him happens to be at Masjid boba.
There we go. The when it's the last time turned back on No.
The prophets of Allah who it was salam happens to be in mechanical
bow when this person arrives, and the person arrives and he tells
them, and there's one other companion with him and he's like,
Okay, keep it low. Don't say anything to anyone yet. And he
tells a person, I want you to go out and check and see if you see
it to be true. So he sends his own person because he wants to make
sure since someone in the person comes back, yeah, Yasuda while
they're on their way. There's 3000 of them, and they're coming
strong. Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. He gathers the
companions.
You know, they say before I go forward, they say that there's a
hadith that says the people that will be closest to the Prophet on
the Day of Judgment, are the ones that said some Allah who it was
tell them the most. I just want to say that as we continue to go
through today's lesson in sha Allah, tada. They used to say that
it because of this hadith, it seems like the scholars of Hadith
would be the ones closest, because that's what they do throughout the
entire day is sallallahu alayhi wa salam SallAllahu wasallam. So the
word gets back that indeed it's true Yasuda Allah, that there's an
army coming Surah So the prophets of Allah is Saddam, he gathers
everyone in the masjid. And he lets them know what's going on. He
said the Quran are coming. And what should we do? And Allah
subhana wa, tada. He speaks about this, right? He speaks about this
was Shah with whom Phil Ahmed, Allah subhanho wa Taala commanded
the Prophet. And we said this last week, one of the most amazing
aspects of his leadership is that he always consulted the people
around him. So he gathers them all. And he says to them, that
it's about to go down. They're about to attack us. What should we
do? So there were two opinions. There were two opinions. Remember,
buzzer popped off? Sorry, but there happened. All of a sudden,
nobody was ready for a budget. It was just like whoever wants to
come, let's go. So there were a lot of people that missed out
because we didn't have to go. And so this time, we know they're
coming. We know what's about to go down. And so now the young Shabaab
and anyone who missed brother, the prophet slice of them he asked,
Should we go out and fight them? Or should we fight them inside
Medina? Medina was a city it's the buildings are close to one
another, the alleys are tight, the date palm trees are close and
Rasul Allah himself, he felt that we should stay in Medina, because
if we fight in Medina can't No one take us in Medina. They even said,
If we fight in Medina, the women can attack from the tops of the
roofs, right? I know what you're thinking Sacaton sha Allah. So if
they fight in Medina, no one will be able to beat us, no one will be
able to beat us in Medina.
And so the Prophet SAW Selim, he gave his opinion. And then
somebody by the name of Abdullah bin obey bin Zulu, this man was
the man that was about to become the leader, before the prophets of
Allah Islam came to Medina, and he has one deep sickness inside. He
wanted to be in charge. And because he couldn't have that
position, and he saw that the one who took that from him was Mohamed
sai Salam, he had animosity against him. But in this
situation, he's giving his opinion. And he says, I have the
same opinion, I think that we should, we should stay inside the
city and fight from inside the city. No one ever can beat us in
our homeland. No one can ever beat us inside. But some of the young
Shabaab in anyone who actually missed the battle, they were like,
No, we need to go out because they wanted that reward of going out.
They don't want to just sit home and kind of fight from the window,
you know, fighting in the streets. They're like, we want to go out
and they're, they're emphasizing No, let's go, let's go get trust
in Allah. We could do this. And the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.
It was prayer time.
The prophesy some takes everybody's opinion. They pray
salah, and the Prophet goes in his house. civili do Salam, and
everybody's sitting outside waiting, like what's going to
happen?
And the prophets that Allah has sent him unbeknownst to them is
inside. And Isha is putting on his armor. She's like, strapping him
up, you know, getting him ready, putting everything on him. And
those who said Allah Holliday was telling him this man who I just
read, moments ago was the humbleness of people in prayer,
the most gentlest of people. What is amazing about him is that he
was able to give you the quality needed for the situation. That's
what's so amazing about the Rasul Allah, they set out to a Salam. So
the same man that was so gentle with children, the same man that
would be crawling on all fours in the masjid and his grandchildren
on his back riding him. That same man is now coming out, covered in
his armor, covered in his armor. While he was inside getting
dressed, the companions were talking amongst themselves, and
they were like, Yo, I think we forced him too much. I think we
pushed our opinion too hard. Like maybe we should have laid back
after that. At the end of the day. He is the prophet of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, maybe we should
They just let him go with his opinion. So so they're all talking
and they're like, You know what when he comes out we'll tell him
like don't worry your suit Allah will do what you want to do. The
prophets I said I'm comes out with his armor. And that's exactly what
they say. They say, yeah rasool Allah, we're sorry we pushed too
hard, but we don't mind fighting in the city. And in this moment,
the prophesy Saddam teaches us all something so important. What shall
with whom Phil Ahmed for either Assumpta fatawa QCL on Allah.
Rasool Salatu was Salam he comes out and now he's ready for war.
He's ready for battle. And now they're flipping. They're like,
Oh, no, we can stay. But all suicides, sudden he says these
powerful words he says, it doesn't be fit a prophet. After he puts on
his armor that Allah doesn't decide between him and the enemy.
He won't take off his armor until Allah decides between him and his
enemy. What the scholars say Sheikh Ramadan booty says
something profound. A lot of us struggle a lot with decision
making. We struggle a lot. Should I take the job? Should I get
married? Should I do this? Should I move in here? Should I move to
Dallas? Yeah, move to Dallas come through. We got you. Right. Like
we struggle with decisions. But I sort of lost I sent him he taught
us something so profound. You do much water. Number one. Should I
do it? I'm gonna talk to people who have intelligence. Right. Then
after that, what did he do? He did it Sahara. Always do a Sahara. A
lot of us don't understand what it's the kata actually means it's
the hotter is. It comes from the word cave. It's the hotter
actually comes from the word clan. So was asking Allah to put hate
and whatever you do. He did his Takata he came out. And this is
where a lot of us mess up.
He came out. And when now they wanted to switch opinions back and
forth. Or suicide. Some says, ah, we made a decision. Now before I
go forward. We know how this battle ends, we lose this battle.
We lose this battle. So but but the lesson is still taught that
when you do is Takata when you make a decision, and then the
Koran came to confirm it, it was the verse I just said, but also
the loss I suddenly the verse was revealed after the fact wash, I
went home feeling Ahmed for either Zonta when you make a decision for
to work on Allah, how many of us in this room right now there's a
decision we need to make. And we've made it but we keep
oscillating back and forth. Maybe not. Maybe not maybe not all
suicides, Saddam. He knows in this moment. decisiveness is what we
need. We can't have waffle there's at this moment, we need
decisiveness. And so the prophesy centum taught us something
profound. And so what's the what's the method, the prophetic approach
to decision making? First thing, the prophesy said it would never
if he had two choices, the Hadith says he always chose the easier of
the two. As long as it wasn't sinful. Whenever there was sin, it
wasn't even on the on the table. Like the option for haram. It
wasn't even on the table. But if there were two decisions, he took
the easier one. Number two, he would consult people what do you
think? What do you think? What do you think? After that? It's the
hotter the third step he would decide. And from that point on,
there's no more like, Oh, what if I did? Oh, what would it what
would what would have had been like, if we stayed inside LA?
We've been watching too much Dr. Strange, there's no multiverse.
You know, there's your reality. That was MK tube. There was a
reality that was going to happen and that's all that there was. You
know why this is so profound. The prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam
he said that the Kelim are too low Mina shape on that the word note
man if I had just gotten married to that first dude, that guy the
proposal, man you got three kids already you back.
You back you back like 20 years ago man what would have happened?
That was MK two. There was that MK two written there was no way to
get around that. And so what are Sol Sol Sol Allah had a was
setting him he taught us this that the Kenny Metallo this word if man
if if took the whole awaba shape on? It opens the door to shape on
Oh, what if I had to when I did this Sarasu last I saw him he
comes out. And like a like a leader like a man. He comes out
and he's wearing his armor. Right and like, just that process for
me. Just imagining him in the house suiting up.
You still like Yeah, I used to play football right and I can't
say this with Abdullah Hussein in the room. But oh and Karis. I used
to play high school football and one of the most hyped parts of it
is when you were suiting up when you were getting ready right your
mindset ready for that? Right? So anyways, that was sort of suicide
said to me comes out and they're like, You know what, maybe we
should stay there. She was like no. Now we have to go forward.
Abdullah bin obey bin salute that guy that was supposed to be the
leader. He's still hot, but he has to go along with the group because
he's part of the community. They start to set out they start to
leave Medina everyone gets their armor on everyone gets ready when
You have to leave. There's 1000 of us. We're already down three to
one. There's 1000 of us ready to set up. We get halfway to Ohio,
Ohio isn't far from Medina, y'all. When you're standing out Masjid
now, but when you look out you can see 100 Right? So they're on their
way. And as they're on their way, Abdullah bin saloon, Abdullah bin
obey bin saloon. He says,
you know this this man, now he has people that are under his
influence still there later called the mafia clean the hypocrites.
But they were just following what everyone in the city was doing. So
that's why they were with the Muslims but they didn't really
believe they thought this was a phase is going to pass and come
and go. So he says they're halfway to Ohio. And Abdullah and obey he
goes, You know what? This man didn't listen to me. He listened
to these youngsters. Why am I gonna go out there and die for no
reason? I'm going back
in in that moment, he turns around and 300 people follow him. Three,
we only had 1000 others 300. And what's amazing what's amazing.
This is interesting.
See, it takes a lot of courage, right? It takes a lot of faith and
courage to be going out with the odds against you fighting for the
sake of Allah and fighting for Jana, and fighting for your
profit. It takes a lot of courage. And when people around you start
flaking, then you start thinking well maybe I should flake two,
maybe I should dip two. There were two tribes. Ben who selama and Ben
who had both of these tribes when they saw Abdullah bin obey Ben
Zulu leave. They were like you know what maybe we should leave to
Allah tells us, Allah tells us about this. It hammock life
autonomy. incrementer Shala. There were two groups that were true
believers. But see, this is the key. Some of us, many of us, we
believe we're strong. But when people around us start flaking and
start, then we start thinking, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada tells us
about that group right there. He says, Is life a tiny incremental
shutter? There were two groups that were just about to to break
off. Right? Well, Allahu Allah, Uma, Allah protected them. Were
out of life a little walk a little more Allah protected and they
stayed there. And they kept with the group. And they didn't give
up. So what happens next we arrive at Oh, hood. When we arrive at Oh,
hood, the first thing that prophets of allottee was sent them
does. There's only how many of us now? Yeah, 700. The prophesy
centum takes 50 people. And I need you to picture the typography just
for a moment. So you're looking in front of you, there's this massive
mountain, the mountain of Oh, hood, and it's just it's very
long, it's a few kilometers long, actually. Right. It's massive
mountain. And right under it there's this Valley and across
from the Valley is a small mountain on that mountain the
prophets I set him he put 50 archers and he set up in the
valley we're facing like that way in the valley. Right. The
mountains behind us. They're the archers are right here. And we're
setting up camp like our back to the our back to the mountain. But
right there are sort of lost I set them gives this key instructions.
And this is where we see the brilliance of the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam in every aspect of life, from from a
militaristic perspective, the genius of the prophets I send them
has been studied by academics from Western east and they say he was
brilliant. Where did this come from? He tells the archers, he
says stay on this mountain and protect our back. We're going to
engage we need you to protect us from behind so nobody can come
around and hit us from this side. So he says he emphasizes, it
doesn't matter what happens to us. If birds are eating at our corpses
don't leave this spot.
Abdullah bin Jubair is put in charge of them. They set up shop
and they get down into the valley. But Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam
is setting everyone up and the Quraysh arrive in the valley.
The battle pretty much starts right away. The battle starts
right away. And as the battle begins right away oh before Hold
on. This is really beautiful. The prophesy centum is is setting up
the lines. And he takes out his sword and he lifts it up in front
of all of the soldiers ready to fight. And he says who will take
this sword from me and fight with it but do it do Hawk to it? Yeah,
khulumani be happy who will take my sword and fight with it with
its Huck and with its Hawk means like you fulfill its right. Right
now. That's heavy because this is the prophesy send them sword. And
so there's one Sahaba His name is Abu Jana, Ubuntu Jana.
He he I don't know what language to use to describe him. He stood
up and he said I'll take it Jada Soto.
Law says Are you sure? He said I'll take it Yasuda law. I will do
Gianna was known. Whenever he got battle was about to start he would
take out a red bandana. And they called it a sorbitol moat. They
call it the bandana of death he would wrap his head with it right?
And he took out his bandana as per norm. He put it around his head
and he's holding the sword and he begins to strut strut in front of
the, the the Kourosh like in between the two two armies. He
striding very boastfully right. And no suicides. Salem is looking
at him. And it's upon Allah. Look at what he says. The prophet sees
them. They said that to a Salaam and the prophets of Allah, He will
send them he says, Hi the mushiya This is a word of walking. You
believe the hola hola hates except in this situation. Meaning
meaning, like, we're supposed to walk with humility, like we're not
supposed to like, like prance around and walk with a hubris. But
in this situation, humility isn't what we need. We need fighters in
this moment. We need people who are going to stand up. And so
Subhan Allah is so profound, because he's teaching us that just
because something is shunned upon, in one situation doesn't mean it's
shunned upon in every situation. And so I will do Gianna he takes
the sword. And they say that he was fighting and and people were
falling to his left and his right falling to his left and his right
falling to his left in his right. And everybody is like what is he
doing this man is like, next level and all of a sudden this this
person covered with their face covered on horseback comes riding
at him. And he makes the horse fall and the horse falls. The
cover from their face moves and he sees this a woman and she charges
at him and he says get back from me. Get back from me. The the hand
of the Prophet never touched a woman How could his sword ever
touch a woman?
The hand of the Prophet This is the prophet sword I can't touch
you please move move Get out and he pushed her away. A Buddha Jana
was was was next level. The battle the battle begins.
The battle begins. And right from the beginning of the battle. It's
a clear victory for the Muslims. clear victory. The monastic Dean
had less left all we had was clear sincere believers. We don't care
if we lost 300 We didn't need those 300 they were a cancer to
us. We don't want them with them there. They're not good extra
wait. We need sincere Muslims. And right from the beginning. It's a
victory. It's a victory. I will Soufiane by the way was in charge
of the Kool Aid army. He turns away and he's fleeing out the
valley. Remember I told you oh god is back here. And they were
fighting in the valley.
And there are suicides. Saddam is right in the front and the battle
was going I will Sofia and begins to flee. One of the people in
charge of the Calvary of the Qureshi was Khalid bin Walid Khan
had been when he was one of the most excellent minds from a
militaristic perspective. Khalid bin Walid they all start to fleet.
And in that moment, the archers on the mountain. The archers on the
mountain see that the enemy is leaving. And now all the spoils of
war are just laying there.
So now they start to talk. A group of them are like, we gotta go,
let's go like it's time to like, get the spoils of wars. Let's go.
And Abdullah bin Jubair. He's like, No, do you remember what the
prophets I said? I'm said, he said don't move. They're like, Yeah,
but that's what he meant in the moment. But now it's over. Let's
just go. They begin to argue. Out of the 5040 lead, there's only 10
left. Hot had been when he sees it, he comes around the back. And
when he comes around the back, he attacks the archers and he kills
them. And then as he's coming into the, into the into the valley, he
screams out or a little hobo. hobo. That was the name of their
idol. He says may hope will be elevated and he's screaming when
he hit when other stuff yawns fleeing and he hears that he turns
around and comes back. And now what happens? The Muslims are in
the middle. caught up in what he does coming from behind up
Soufiane is coming from this way. Everyone is running helter
skelter. Everyone is confused what's going on? It got so
confusing that they say some Muslims ended up killing other
Muslims. That's how confusing it was. And in that moment, there was
a man by the name of Edmund Kamina. Most I've been omad he was
the young man who accepted Islam. He was the he was the most well
dressed the most best perfume in Mecca. When he accepted his mom.
His mom kicked him out the house that are suicides seldom used to
see him wearing to tattered clothes. And he looked at him. He
said this used to be the best dress kid of Mecca. Now look at
him. He wasn't looking derogatory. He's like now look at his honor.
He doesn't even care. He's carrying the sword but he was
completely covered. And he used to look like the Prophet. So I sent
him when he was covered. So this man had been coming in and comes
in. He strikes him down and he kills him. So he screamed
I've killed Mohammed, I've killed Muhammad. And all of a sudden the
Sahaba don't know what to do. They're confused what's going on
like, he can't die. We have so much to do, he can't die. And in
that moment, in that moment, a large group, majority almost they
all start fleeing. They asked are fleeing. Some of them just sit
down, like there's no point. Some of them start fleeing. Until the
point there were only 20 people surrounding the Prophet so the
lady was telling them 20 People the rest had fled, they all ran
away. They all ran away. And the prophets of Allah had a was salam.
He screaming La La Kariba de la la que about Allah servants of Allah,
come back, come back. But right now it's it's fight or flight.
They're not thinking you're just fleeing. Some of them went as far
as they got back to Medina. Like they got back to the city of
Medina. And it's been another, another Sahaba he wasn't at either
battle. He arrives in Medina from a business from from trade. He
arrives as they're arriving back in Medina. He's like, Yeah, mostly
moon. What's going on there like Cuttino Mohammed the prophesy.
centum is dead. He's like Latina, Mohammed want to when he's dead,
and you're here. Why are we live in Let's go. And he takes everyone
right back to the battlefield. While they're on the battlefield,
as I told you, everyone was fleeing. And now the prophets of
Allah, it was salam and about 20 companions are pushed up towards
the mountain, they're pushed up towards the mountain. And as
they're being pushed up towards the mountain, the only thing
behind them in is the mountain. And now, the Colorado Quidditch
are attacking with everything they have, because their mission is
just to kill the profit. They realize that they he's still
alive. So they're pushing in, they're trying and they're trying.
And this was the moment when there were about 10 or 20 companions,
who gave everything that they had to defend the prophets of Allah
who it was sad Ben Abby, well, cos was sitting there he was shooting
arrow after arrow. And the prophets I said I'm said these
words he says me my mother and father be sacrificed, keep
shooting, keep shooting, and they're pushing them back. Tell
had been obeyed the lies they're fighting, fighting, defending.
There's a woman by the name of only Amara. She was there. And
she's in the narration about her is that she saw the Prophet
fighting two people at the same time. And so she comes and she's
defending I mean, she's fighting and she's fighting and even coming
to the same one who killed most up he comes any any any strikes her
arm, and her arm falls and she keeps fighting. She keeps
fighting. And he realizes that he's fighting a woman so he pushes
her away. From a distance her son sees her. Her son runs over to his
her mother, his mother. And in that moment, you know what she
says? She says to her son, get away from me defend the Prophet.
Get away from me defend the prophets lie Selim, after the
battle the Prophet because her arm got hit three times. After the
battle they the Prophet came to her and he said kafer to tip How
did you handle that? How did you handle that? She said, I take I
take what I can take it. If I can be with you and Jana, the prophets
I said them said Auntie were Albay tikka, Marty, Phil, Jana. He said
you and your family are with you are with me and Jana inshallah
Tada you're with me and Jenna, the prophets all eyes Salam in this
companions get pushed back. Eman Ibn coming up comes up and he
swings over the companions and he hits the prophesy centum and this
is that this is the moment the helmet of the prophets Allah He
was wearing a helmet and the the chain armor from the helmet it
went into his cheek and now blood is coming out of the blessed cheek
of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe was in such soft skin, the same
cheeks upon which tears cried in worship. This cheek now has one of
the rings of the chain armor stuck inside of it.
Right and it broke his tooth, his tooth was chipped. And the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam is trying to wipe away the blood but the blood
keeps coming. The blood keeps coming. The blood keeps coming
until finally one of the companions while the fighting is
happening, they're defending him. Another companion comes over and
he grabs the face of the Prophet. So I said I mean he tries to pull
but he can't because they're metal. So he takes his teeth and
he puts them on there and he pulls them out and while he pulls them
out his two teeth break the two front teeth. He loses his two
front teeth. You know what they say? They say he'd never, those
two teeth were Shaheed like in that in that moment. They were
Shaheed they say this man had the most beautiful smile for the rest
of his life.
They say he was missing to teeth for the rest of his life. But his
smile was so beautiful. Because of the baraka another companion comes
in the blood is coming now that the the wound is open, the blood
is coming out and another companion comes in cauterizes it
with something and they stuffed it into his cheek and the Prophet is
wiping away the blood and he says how can people be successful if
they're making the face of their prophet * how can they
How can they be?
The fighting continues, but it's a stalemate. Some of the Sahaba have
come back and they work their way back to the Prophet to protect
him, the Prophet and aboubaker and OMA and a few others about 20. As
I said, they're on this mountain and now it's a stalemate.
In the meantime, Hunza are the Allah who aren't the uncle of the
prophets of Allah, he was salam. He's in the thick of the fight,
giving it his all. And washi who became Muslim later, he was a
slave. And hend she said, all by yourself, freedom and give you
money. You just have to do one job. When we go for a hug. I want
you to do nothing else, but kill Hamza, why she was a perfect art,
you know, with a spear. He was excellent. He says, I went to the
battle. I didn't care who won all I wanted was one thing. I just
want to get my freedom. He says, I saw this man like a wild camel
amongst the people, just laying everyone down around him. But I
only had one focus was him. So he says I took it. I got it straight
through it. And he says it hit him in his chest and went out from his
backside. And he says, but then he looked at me.
He looked at me with this spear in them. And he starts walking to me
and watch he goes, I was shook. I couldn't move. I was paralyzed,
seeing this man with a spear in him coming at me. And he says
right when he got close to me, he collapsed and he died right there.
Later after the battle was over. The prophets of Allah was salam.
He says Where's Hamza? Where's Hamza. And when they found him,
they found his body and the Prophet fell on him and he began
to weep and weep and weep like a baby began to weep like a baby
that his uncle had died, and not only died been mutilated very
viciously by hand. The prophesy Salam now was on the mountain,
like I told you, he's, he's backed up against the mountain. I was
with Yan realize it's like, this is a stalemate. There's nowhere to
go now. There's nowhere to go.
And so they realize we're just going to leave now, but they're
not going to just leave I was with Yan starts yelling insults up. He
starts yelling insults up to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. He's not sure if the prophets alive yet. So he goes up
above Soufiane The battle has calmed down the prophesy Salman
the Sahaba are up on the mountain but they can't be reached. So
obviously if Yan yells Up he goes Yeoman beyond the budget. He goes
a day even for butter now
the prophesy Salam whispers to OMA he says oh my reply to him. homers
voice was strong Omar, tell him something that meaning we're down
we lost, but we're not going to be quiet though. We're down. We're
lost. We're not going to be quiet. We're gonna keep talking back.
We're gonna keep raising our voice we have to. So the Prophet says
Are y'all gonna say something back to him say something to him. They
say y'all rasool Allah, what should we say? He said, tell him
lyase though we but Allah and Allah, Allah Khun, he goes tell
him our debt and your debt aren't equal equal your debt are in the
fire ours are in Jana.
So I've also found realized is that Omar wouldn't say that that
had to be from the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. So he
yells back up, he goes, who? Blammo Lana. He says that hula is
our protector. So the Prophet says, say something back they say
yes, hula, what should we say? What should we say? He says, Tell
them say who knew? Allahu monana Well, I'm Allah. Allah Karim.
Allah is our protector. Allah is our protector. Allah is our
protector.
Now, here's where it gets really.
Here's where it gets really deep.
There were a lot of verses that were revealed, the Sahaba come
down the Quraysh leaf, the Sahaba come down, they look after the
dead, they bury the dead.
And it's a very hard moment. And the Quran speaks very vividly
about what's going on in the minds of the Muslims and what we can
learn from this.
The first thing is this Allah subhana wa Tada says,
to my answer, are they coming back to haunt me I'm gonna turn Then
Allah sent down tranquillity on them. This is after the battle.
They had tranquility they felt they were wounded, they were hurt
the profits faces hurt. Everyone's tired, everyone's wounded. But
there was a Sakina or tranquility that came upon them.
What boy for them Kedah, hematoma and fusarium, but there was a
group of the believers, they started to get bad bots. You have
the noona Billahi. Ladle, Huck, they were having bad thought and
this is the key. A lot of us go through hardships and we start to
think negative about Allah subhanho wa taala. A lot of us see
what's happening with the OMA and we start to think things about
Allah Subhana Allah to Allah. Allah speaks about that thought in
this verse. Listen closely. Allah subhana wa Tada says, You have
Luna Billa he said hadal help. Vernal Jaya. Helia they're
thinking about Allah. Not in a good way. Jahai Leah thoughts
before Islam thoughts? Yaku Luna
They're saying to themselves, Helen, Amina and ammonium and che.
Now why couldn't we decide where we should have went? Remember how
there were two groups once said we should have stayed the other said
let's go out
your phone if he and fusi Amala you were doing our luck, Yahoo
Wiluna lo cannon and look what they say. They said Man, if we
were in charge, ma Patel Na Hoona this wouldn't happen. Remember
what I told you about the importance of not saying if Allah
right here in this verse says that this group, they were like low
canon and Amina nominee makuti Na Hoona men if we had made the
decision, we this wouldn't have happened. Allah subhana wa that
says, Listen, this is so beautiful. Put all prophets say to
these people, they didn't even say it they were thinking it. Same
thoughts that we get when we see loss in the home or in our lives.
Man if I had just did it differently it wouldn't it came
out like this. Allah subhana wa says call lo Quinton feeble ut
como la barra Salah Dino cultiva quotevalet Human Betula magaji I
am such a crazy verse. Allah says, if you had stayed in your homes,
before I go forward, the place in the moment where you're going to
die is MK tube. It's written, you can't move on head of that place
or back. That is where your place of death is. That's your spot.
Allah subhanaw taala and this verse says it's so beautifully and
I want you to picture the imagery. Allah says lo Quinton febrile
Utica, if you were sitting at home, in your homes, love butters
Alladhina cootie biting on Cthulhu the people who had it been it was
written for them to die, they would have rushed out of their
homes just to go to the spot of death and they would have died
there. Meaning meaning for me and you don't live in this realm of if
what what happened happened and there was no way you could have
avoided it. That is what was written by Allah subhana wa Tada
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and another verse the very like two verses
down. He says the same thing. Yeah, are you hella Dina O you who
believe Don't be like the disbelievers This is referring to
the hypocrites all willy wonka him they said when they went out to
fight low Ken who and deny my my to member Abdullah bin obey bin
salute he went back right? See whenever we go through hardships,
there's two types of fitna we have to deal with, we have to deal with
our own inner demons telling us that we made a mad bad mistake.
But we have to also deal with haters. Trolls like on the
internet, right? We have to deal with us inside that we process it
right. But we also have to deal with the trolls and the haters in
life. That will tell you I told you, I told you shooting and
started wearing hijab that's why you lost a job. I told you
shouldn't start praying. I told you you shouldn't have did that.
See? This wouldn't have happened to you if you didn't do that.
Allah subhanaw taala speak specifically about them, saying lo
can't What did they say? locanto indena mama to I'm Ikuti Lu. They
said man if you had been home with us, you wouldn't have died or been
killed.
Allah subhana wa Tada already responded to that. He said, No.
The reason for this was listen to this. Why did this happen? Why did
this happen? Allah subhana wa Tada tells us in another verse, well am
I Saba comio mentor Collegium and, and the calamity that you went
through the day that two armies met. Number one Listen, for the
evening Allah is by the permission of Allah. The permission of Allah?
Will ya allah Melmac meaning and so that God can know who's real
movement? Who is the real believers? See what we don't
understand is that that the tribulations bring out what's
true. I told you the story one time, right. cost him was like his
costume.
Costume was like, two weeks old, y'all. Two weeks old. Me and wifey
were coming back from a Holika like this, right? And I have my
friend in the passenger seat, man. You need to roll with good people.
Yeah. Karima Mati in the car. Awesome. Me wife and my friend.
I'm dropping him off after the Holika this is back in Baltimore.
We're sitting at a red light. middle night like 11 Holika. And
it late, had to drive DMV, bad traffic. We're sitting at a light.
All of a sudden I hear a tire screeching and now you know guys
write
a car. A car hits us from behind. Car like going 50 miles an hour.
We're stopped at a red light hits us. Right? PTSD right now. Right?
Immediately when the car hits my boy next to me he screams out
Allahu Akbar.
That in the moment.
It's crazy. The car caught fire. We had to pull the kids out of the
car. It was crazy. We were sitting on the side of the road. The
firetruck was there putting out the car. And I looked down say
bro, you real bro?
He's like, What are you talking about? I was like, Do you know
what you said when the car hit us? He's like, Ah, I was like, I was
like Nah, bro.
You screamed Allahu Akbar. He's like Nah, no, I didn't. I was like
yes you did.
too. That's my ace till today row. Because because the empty handed
test brings out what's real. Allah subhanho wa Taala says the
calamity happened number one what a yacht lemon mini so that Allah
can know who are the true meaning. What a yacht let Melanie the
nautical and to know who's not real. Abdullah bin obey. They
showed their true colors. They showed their true colors they did,
they went back, what the letter home to ILO party to visa vie de
la with the Pharaoh. It was said to them, Come fight, join us
defend. They said oh, there's not going to be a fight. You're just
going to line up no fight is going to happen. Allah says about them,
you're gonna be FYE MLAs if equilibrium, they're saying with
their tongues, that's what is not in their hearts. So Allah subhanaw
taala is explaining that you're going to have to deal with haters.
The haters are going to tell you low apart when I'm out cootie Lu.
They're going to say if you had listened to us you wouldn't be in
this bad situation. And your job in that moment is to see that
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada brought you here for a reason. story is not
over here. We get back to Medina. All of the Muna 15 are like TOLD
YOU SO told you so you should have stayed should I say just imagine
what that feels like. You did something for the sake of Allah.
Some of us messed up we made a mistake. And I'm going to talk
about that mistake in a minute. Some of us messed up and we lost
70 People Hamza, the uncle, the Rosu, Seisen was mutilated. The
prophets face is cut in here are a group of people saying told you
so.
Prophesy Saddam comes back. They pray salah
and the prophets lie Selim realizes something.
The Quraysh are only a few miles away.
They're going to come back and attack. We're a sitting duck. They
just defeated us. They're gonna come back.
And in that moment, Allah subhanaw taala talks about it and let the
minister Jabu Lillahi wa rasuluh human body Masaba Homolka those
who about these believers that are suicides Saddam says Yeah, are you
hella Dina, amen. Oh, you who believe if you believe in a day of
judgment, and Allah, I want you to stand up. We're headed back out to
fight to Qureshi. Hmm.
The Prophet himself is wounded. They have cuts like crazy. The
Quran says. God means a wound that you see the bone.
They're heavily wounded. And Rasul Allah sai said them, he goes, we
gotta go back. We have to head back.
Now Subhanallah some people didn't pass the first test of going in
the first place. And now here the next test is coming.
The next Texas coming. You'll hold up before I go forward. About this
situation. Allah subhana wa Tada says, what's going to kill a Yemen
who die we don't have been enough. Sometimes we win. Sometimes we
lose the expectation that the believers are always going to win.
We won butter. You're thinking oh, is green now it's going to just
keep climbing. Allah subhana wa Tada says, That's not the way the
believer climbs. The believer climbs gradually. The believer
climbs gradually and every time you take an L but you take it with
eemaan.
That's not an L. That's not a loss. You grow from that. So the
prophesy centum says yeah, about Allah. If you believe in Allah de
judgment get up, we got to go back out. Do you know they were to the
point that they were carrying the wounded backout
they reach outside of Medina. unfathomable to me how they're
still pushing themselves. What Imam they had in that moment,
they're still pushing. They reach a place called Hamad Al Asad.
Opposite of Yan was indeed coming back.
Because he realized he was like, why did we leave?
The scholars literally say it was a miracle from Allah because he
couldn't went straight to Medina after but for some reason, he's
like, Yeah, we want let's dip. He got a few kilometers out. He's
like, wait, hold up. Let's go back to Medina. prophesy, Saddam gets
to a place called Hamad Al Asad.
And when he gets to that place, Abu Sufyan had already sent
someone to go see where the Muslims right now. The person
comes.
And he sees the Muslims out for war.
And he's like, Oh, you who believe you guys y'all should be worried.
The Qureshi are on their way. And he says, Let me said no matter Jiu
Jitsu, the nummy they have like, like leopard skins on meaning
they're ready to fight. They have armor on they're ready to fight.
Here's the thing.
The stronger you believe in Allah, the more eemaan you have in Allah,
you stop fearing the world because you only have one fear. Allah
subhana wa Tada ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada talks about this moment and
he said
As it so beautifully Alladhina call Allahumma NASS, in the Nazca
Gemma ruler comm those people who other said to them, yo, there's a
whole army ready to attack you. Fuck showhome be worried for that
the home Imana Allah says in that moment so this guy is he's he's a
messenger, right? So he's talking to the army. And he's like the
coup de estar coming to attack y'all y'all should dip the Sahaba
lookout Rasul Allah and the Russell's. Like, what did he say?
He said that he said so that the cadets are coming. What should we
say? The Prophet looks at everyone and he says, who has been Allah
Who am yeah man who are killed. Se Allah is enough for me. And he is
the best Disposer of affairs, the Sahaba all of them, they just
start chanting it loud, husband, Allah, who and yet men were
killed. were wounded. were broken. We don't really want to fight
y'all. But what are we saying? Husband Allah Who and that medical
kid husband Allah. This guy dips. He goes back to abusive Yan. And
he goes, they're crazy.
They're crazy. You don't want to fight them. He said what did you
see? He said I saw them ready to fight and they were saying husband
Allah when him husband Allah whenever husband Allah with him
and what kid?
Up Soufiane looks at the army he goes la taka tallinna We can't
fight them. Let's go back. Let's go back we head back. Allah
subhana wa Tada. This speaks about this moment so beautifully. This
word hustlin allah how many of us everyone is telling us you'll you
should be worried bro. Aren't you worried? Aren't you scared? You
didn't get any this or this isn't working out that isn't working
out. You should be worried. How many people who are supposed to be
close to us, giving us stronger faith are actually trying to make
us more worried.
What we should have is people around us that say haspin Allah
Who and yeah Melba Kidd husband Allah Who and yet Melba kid and if
somebody comes to you with worries, your job as a believer
should not be like yeah, you shouldn't be worried.
I would be worried to last off it Allah. In that moment. The
believer needs another believer that will say just say hospital
Allah when the Melba kid, listen low key were they ready to fight?
mentally, spiritually? Yes. Materially not at all. The Prophet
was still tending to his wounds.
He's still tending to his wounds. But it's not about the material.
It's about the spiritual strain. It's about our eemaan Being strong
look what the Quran says. Fuck showhome people told them you
should be worried what happened for Azad the home Imana their Iman
went up, not down their email went up and what did they say? Well God
who husband Allah who when that medical kid house when Allah wa
NetMundial Qin Fen Telugu vignette met him in Allah. They returned
back to Medina be netmeds him in Allah
will fumble and blessings lamium some lamb yum says whom Sue? No
evil touch them. Whatever Oded, Juan Allah, and they just kept
looking for the pleasure of God in their life. That's it, it doesn't
matter. We're wounded. We're hurt. We don't feel like getting back
up. But sometimes after you fall, the best thing is to stand right
back up and get right back at it and that's what the prophesy
Saddam did in this moment. Instead of a sitting in Medina and just
lamenting over the loss. Look at the brilliance of the lawsuit. He
can't he says Get up. We gotta go. What do you mean, we gotta go? We
gotta go.
And in that moment, that's where the strength came from. In the
methodical machine. Athan, you holy fu Oh, Leah fell at the half
moon that's shaytaan that tries to make those who are connected to
him scared
when you make your we're worried Allah only everything else becomes
Loki nothing. But when you're when Allah is not in the equation,
every little thing will throw you off.
What was the wisdom behind this?
Allah subhana wa Tada says my cannula who Leah that meaning
Alhama and tomorrow they had a missile habito minute play. Allah
says Allah is not going to let the believer stay as they are until
the righteous are separated from the beef from the unrighteous. The
prophesy centum is the Allah is telling the Prophet something
here. This was a test to show you who's true. Who's real. Who's
really about this Dean who's really about Allah subhanaw taala
you know, what's the craziest part of all it is
when you go through something hard, may Allah protect us. May
Allah protect us law. May Allah give us Aafia but when you go
through something hard and you get through it with eemaan You know
what's crazy? Whenever the Prophet would walk past the mountain of
Jabba, he would say, oh, hood, Jabba the new hippo who want to
heaven, he would walk past
has jumped ahead and he would say, Oh, it is a mountain we love and
it loves us. What what? That should have been Brother Yo, if it
was me and you we wouldn't go past brother but like you I love
brother. Because when you realize I was thinking, why would he say
we love a hood? When all it was the place of loss? Oh, it was the
place of loss. Because Oh, it wasn't the place of loss. It was
the place of growth.
It was the place of growth. It was the place where we saw what it
meant to be a true believer. It was the place where tell her
proved I will defend the Prophet with everything I have. It was the
place when OMA Amara says I will fight the biggest men in the world
to defend the prophets of Allah. It doesn't matter to me.
There was one woman, she was back in Medina.
And they heard obviously because people fled back to Medina, they
heard that the Prophet was dead. And so she starts running to a
hood. And people are walking past her. And one person stops her and
she's like,
the person stops. They're like, stop. Your husband was killed. She
looks the person in the eye. She says Kaif a candle soon. How is
the prophet sai Sana? She keeps pushing forward, someone stops her
a little stop your son was killed. She says move how is the prophets
of Allah how they will send them how's he doing? How's this one
that brought us this message, this one that is guiding us with this
message. She gets all the way there. They finally tell her one
more family member of hers until finally she gets to the profit
slice them because by now the battle is over. And she says the
most eloquent poetry that every musi. But by the Kegel every
calamity, after seeing that you're hearing this guidance is still
here. And then we still get to then after that everything is
easy. Everything is easy. So Sula, whenever he would pass by the
mountain of boyhood, he would look at this mountain and he would say,
I love this mountain, and this mountain loves us.
Why, perhaps is because those hardest moments are the ones that
really define who we are. And when we look back, that one bedroom
apartment that you lived in and grind it in with Wi Fi baths, did
anybody know I remember that those are the days those are the days
right there.
But what about the people that um, that left their position?
Allah Subhan Allah to Allah. He taught the prophets of Allah who
today was salam.
Something beautiful, there's a few things after this battle of verse
was revealed, well Mr. Mohammed, Allah Rasool by the herd mentality
here Rasul. Mohammed is nothing but A prophet is not but a
prophet. Prophets have come before him. Alpha imata output Tila, if
he dies or is killed, are you going to turn away on your heels?
Whoever turns back on their heels, funny, a little Aloha che ah, this
verse was revealed after this moment, but it wasn't until many
years later that they truly understood what this moment meant.
This verse meant the verse was saying, if the prophet dies, Allah
is alive the deeds keeps going on.
Regarding the the people that seemingly caused the loss, ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada says these beautiful verses Febi Mauer I met
him in Allah Heelan Tala home. It is God's mercy upon you on
Muhammad that you're gentle with them, meaning after what they did
happen, he was gentle with them. You know what, there's a lot of
people that truly try to help us sincerely for the sake of Allah,
but they sometimes make a mistake.
You know,
I was loading the dishwasher the other day.
I guess I put them in the wrong way.
Yeah, I don't know the feeling okay.
That if
I'm supposed to do it a certain way.
So sometimes somebody's trying to do something for the sake of
Allah, but they mess up. They do it wrong. Look what Allah subhanaw
taala either. She's looking at ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. Whether
with what Allah says to the Prophet Febi Rama Temin Allah
Healin Tala, whom it is God's mercy upon you that you've been
gentle with people. What Oh, Quinta, fuck them caliza Blanford
lumen Holic This is about people who cause the death of 70 of our
companions. Allah says if you were harsh with them, they would flee
from you.
Five one home forgive them. They made a mistake. They thought about
it was over. They saw the spoils of war. They came down they made a
mistake but they're sincere. How many people in our lives are truly
sincere and they want to help but they make a mistake.
Allah says okay, it's a mistake. Be gentle.
See, seek forgive them. What stuck Fiddler home and ask Allah to
forgive them. Make dua for them. Make dua for them was shout with
whom fit Ahmed
and can continue to consult them Subhan Allah, the Prophet did mush
water in the mosh water went the wrong way. Did he close that door?
No was shot with him fit for either Assumpta fatawa kill Allah
Allah. This is a beautiful moment, guys. A lot of scholars they say
that the main lesson, there's a few main lessons here. The main
lesson of this is obedience to the Prophet in obedience to those who
a lot of us we see dunya right in front of us. And then we throw out
the rulings out the door. The the failure came, because they
disobeyed the Prophet there's three there's 300 places in the
Quran where it says obey Allah and obey the law. So
what when the dunya gets in front of us, all of a sudden we forget
that we have a prophet to obey the lesson learned. And the amazing
thing is this.
The moment doesn't make the same mistake twice. The lesson that's
haba were so unique because when they learned when they were taught
a lesson one time they never repeated it. What was the lesson
in this moment, obey the Rasool, listen to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, even if there's a little dunya in front of you,
that job offers looking nice.
obey Allah obey literal suit, keep those teachings right in front of
you. The moment you put those teachings aside, that's when the
defeat happens. That's when the defeat happens. The other lesson
is
just because you've been pushed down, don't mean doesn't mean
you're not supposed to stand back up and keep going.
In that moment, you have to stand back up and keep on pushing. This
was the Battle of ahould. This was the battle in which the Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
he was told, Well, I tell him don't give up hope. And this is
the message for us as the OMA right now. Yeah. Well, I tell him,
don't give up hope. While I TAs and don't be sad, well, antimony
alone, you will be victorious and control meaning if you truly have
faith, any man in Allah subhanaw taala so
this is the battle of Oh hood. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
take lesson from it. May Allah allow us to reflect on the
struggles of the previous parts of our OMA and appreciate the
struggles and Mujahid that that they did. May Allah give us a love
for the Prophet the way the Sahaba loved him.
It's like beg Allah Oh Allah, please give us the love of little
suit. Give us the love of the Rasul like, like only a Mara, who
is sitting there protecting the Prophet with everything she has.
She dropped her sword and she's just using your hands to protect
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam May Allah subhanho wa Taala
give us some of that love of Him. So Allahu alayhi wa salam, may
Allah allow us to silence the word if when the hater say it. May
Allah give us the ability to silence that word if when they'll
haters hate on us, may Allah give us the ability to ourselves have
good opinions of Allah when we're going through the most difficult
moments Subhanak Alohomora be humble and Shadwell La ilaha illa
