00:00:16--> 00:00:18

We continue with the

00:00:19--> 00:00:20

beautiful.

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

We are in the 10th year of Hijri,

00:00:24--> 00:00:25

and I said we are

00:00:26--> 00:00:26

nearing,

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

the end of this

00:00:30--> 00:00:31

beautiful journey.

00:00:32--> 00:00:32

Rasool

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

also sent Khaled bin Walid

00:00:36--> 00:00:37

to Yemen

00:00:37--> 00:00:39

for thou to call the people to Islam.

00:00:39--> 00:00:40

However,

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

he was not very successful, so after 6

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

months, Rasoolullah

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

called him and sent Aylib in

00:00:47--> 00:00:48

his place.

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

He told him whoever wants to return

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

with Khaled may do so, and whoever wants

00:00:53--> 00:00:54

to stay

00:00:54--> 00:00:56

with you may do so. Alevinabitali

00:00:58--> 00:00:59

in front of the tribe of Hamdan,

00:01:00--> 00:01:01

he had them

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

all all lined up and prayed

00:01:04--> 00:01:04

to,

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

and and then he opened the letter and

00:01:08--> 00:01:11

read it out. The entire tribe of Hamdan

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

accepted Islam. Ali Mirabdari

00:01:14--> 00:01:15

sent this news

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

to

00:01:26--> 00:01:26

When Nasr

00:01:27--> 00:01:27

sent,

00:01:32--> 00:01:33

as a governor and judge,

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

to Yemen. He said, I am younger than

00:01:36--> 00:01:38

them. He said, I'm a young man. I'm

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

younger than the people, and I don't have

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

experience in being a judge.

00:01:42--> 00:01:45

Rasool Allah put his blessed hand on the

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

chest of

00:01:47--> 00:01:47

and

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

he made dua and he said, O Allah,

00:01:51--> 00:01:54

make his tongue firm and guide his heart.

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

Oh, Ali and then he said to him,

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

oh, Ali, when

00:01:58--> 00:02:01

the 2 people in the dispute come, don't

00:02:02--> 00:02:05

judge until you hear from both of them.

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

So he's giving you advice. He's saying if

00:02:08--> 00:02:09

2 when 2 people come to you in

00:02:09--> 00:02:10

a dispute,

00:02:10--> 00:02:13

don't make up your mind. Don't judge. Don't

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

come to a conclusion

00:02:14--> 00:02:17

until you hear from both of them. If

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

you do that, it will be easy for

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

you to judge.

00:02:21--> 00:02:25

Seydan Adirayana says, I was never confused in

00:02:25--> 00:02:26

any judgment after that.

00:02:27--> 00:02:29

He was very famous as a judge,

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

and he was a judge in the times

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

of both Abu Bakr and

00:02:34--> 00:02:34

Omar

00:02:35--> 00:02:38

who used to trust his judgment completely and

00:02:38--> 00:02:39

totally

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

and would entrust to him

00:02:41--> 00:02:45

especially complicated and delicate cases, also cases

00:02:45--> 00:02:46

pertaining to

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

powerful people.

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

Interestingly, on a side note, this is something

00:02:51--> 00:02:51

that

00:02:52--> 00:02:53

those who claim

00:02:54--> 00:02:55

that Abu Bakr and

00:02:56--> 00:02:59

Omar were enemies of Sayidina Ali

00:02:59--> 00:03:01

and that Sayidina Omar

00:03:01--> 00:03:05

who caused harm to Sayedina Fatima to Zahra

00:03:06--> 00:03:07

and so on and so forth.

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

This is something for them to reflect on

00:03:10--> 00:03:13

that. If there were enemies, how come Sayyidina

00:03:13--> 00:03:13

Hayri

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

worked in their Khalifa

00:03:17--> 00:03:19

as a judge and they were the Khalifa?

00:03:19--> 00:03:20

They were the Khalifa.

00:03:21--> 00:03:23

So when he accepted their leadership,

00:03:23--> 00:03:25

today, what is our problem?

00:03:25--> 00:03:28

And, similarly, another interesting thing was that

00:03:30--> 00:03:31

one of the later on, one of the

00:03:31--> 00:03:32

wives

00:03:32--> 00:03:35

of Sayidina Umar bin Khattab Radeelah was

00:03:38--> 00:03:41

who was the daughter of Sayidina Ali

00:03:41--> 00:03:43

and Sayidina Fatima Zaha

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

And, obviously, Sayyidina Ali was alive. He was

00:03:48--> 00:03:51

there. He's the one who permitted Sayyidina Umar

00:03:52--> 00:03:53

to marry his own daughter.

00:03:54--> 00:03:55

I imagine this is

00:03:56--> 00:03:58

if all the slander and all the

00:03:59--> 00:03:59

false

00:04:00--> 00:04:02

stories that are made up that say that

00:04:02--> 00:04:02

Umar

00:04:03--> 00:04:04

harmed and

00:04:05--> 00:04:08

attacked and now the will, you know,

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

caused harm to Saiedad.

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

Imagine how would Saeedullah have

00:04:17--> 00:04:18

agreed

00:04:18--> 00:04:19

to have his daughter

00:04:20--> 00:04:22

marry such a man. Right? I mean, to

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

say that is really an attack on the

00:04:24--> 00:04:25

honor

00:04:25--> 00:04:28

and the bravery and the and the wakar

00:04:28--> 00:04:29

of Sayedran wah wah wah wah wah wah

00:04:29--> 00:04:29

wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

00:04:29--> 00:04:29

wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

00:04:29--> 00:04:29

wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

00:04:29--> 00:04:29

wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

00:04:29--> 00:04:29

wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

00:04:29--> 00:04:30

wah. So this is something

00:04:30--> 00:04:32

that really people who

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

make these claims, there must read some history.

00:04:35--> 00:04:37

And this is not an opinion. This is

00:04:37--> 00:04:38

history. This is a historical fact. Just go

00:04:38--> 00:04:40

look up who are the wives of Sayidina

00:04:40--> 00:04:41

Muhammad,

00:04:41--> 00:04:43

and you will find. This is the name

00:04:43--> 00:04:43

of

00:04:44--> 00:04:46

the daughter of Sayidina Ali.

00:04:46--> 00:04:48

How did this happen? Right? Ask this question.

00:04:48--> 00:04:50

Did Sayidina Ali

00:04:50--> 00:04:52

not only accept the khilafa of

00:04:53--> 00:04:54

Abu Bakr and Numa,

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

but he worked under them. He was he

00:04:57--> 00:04:58

was he worked in their government. He was

00:04:58--> 00:05:00

part of the government. He was part of

00:05:00--> 00:05:03

he was a judge under their rule.

00:05:03--> 00:05:04

How did this

00:05:04--> 00:05:07

happen? SubhanAllah. So therefore, you must understand that

00:05:07--> 00:05:08

the Sahaba,

00:05:09--> 00:05:11

they were closer than brothers,

00:05:12--> 00:05:13

and there's no

00:05:14--> 00:05:16

blame and there's no,

00:05:16--> 00:05:19

you know, fault on Saeedullah Omar and Saeedullah

00:05:20--> 00:05:23

and Omar because had there been any fault,

00:05:24--> 00:05:26

I can tell you it is my iman,

00:05:26--> 00:05:28

it is my respect, and the way that

00:05:28--> 00:05:30

I honor Saiedad Abi Talat al Anhu,

00:05:31--> 00:05:32

there is no way in the world that

00:05:32--> 00:05:35

a man like him would have accepted that.

00:05:35--> 00:05:36

You would have cut off his head. He

00:05:36--> 00:05:39

would not have accepted that. He accepted it

00:05:39--> 00:05:41

because that was the truth. They were honorable

00:05:41--> 00:05:43

people. They did not go back on their

00:05:43--> 00:05:44

word, Rasool, they

00:05:44--> 00:05:47

were honest people. They were honorable people. They

00:05:47--> 00:05:50

were pious people and he accepted them

00:05:50--> 00:05:52

not just as his friends and brothers,

00:05:52--> 00:05:54

but in the case of the government and

00:05:54--> 00:05:56

Sohar as his superiors because they were the

00:05:56--> 00:05:56

sol

00:05:57--> 00:05:58

they were the khalifa.

00:05:59--> 00:06:01

Anyway, to come back to our story, Seerah,

00:06:03--> 00:06:05

we come to what we know as the

00:06:05--> 00:06:09

farewell Hajj, the Hajj atul Wada. This is

00:06:09--> 00:06:11

also called Al Hajj atul Islam

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

because this is the only Hajj that Rasool

00:06:14--> 00:06:15

Allah,

00:06:16--> 00:06:17

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:06:18--> 00:06:19

did from

00:06:19--> 00:06:20

Madinah.

00:06:21--> 00:06:22

So after the,

00:06:23--> 00:06:25

Hijra, this is the Hajj that he,

00:06:27--> 00:06:27

did

00:06:28--> 00:06:28

from Madinah.

00:06:34--> 00:06:36

He made this Hajj riding on his camel,

00:06:36--> 00:06:36

and

00:06:38--> 00:06:40

he didn't go with, you know, great pomp

00:06:40--> 00:06:40

and splendor

00:06:41--> 00:06:43

and Rameshwar Assam therefore

00:06:43--> 00:06:46

encouraged people also to make Hajj simple

00:06:46--> 00:06:48

and to use it as a time to

00:06:48--> 00:06:51

reflect on their lives and see what changes,

00:06:53--> 00:06:54

they need to make and we need to

00:06:54--> 00:06:54

make.

00:06:55--> 00:06:59

Once some men from Yemen, they passed before

00:06:59--> 00:07:00

Rasool was wearing

00:07:00--> 00:07:03

very simple harabs and riding camel with simple

00:07:03--> 00:07:04

saddles.

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

And he said, if anyone wants to see,

00:07:07--> 00:07:10

some people, pass before Abdullah bin Nour Radhala.

00:07:11--> 00:07:12

Some people pass

00:07:13--> 00:07:13

before

00:07:16--> 00:07:17

and they were wearing,

00:07:17--> 00:07:20

these people were from Yemen, and they were

00:07:20--> 00:07:22

wearing, you know, very simple

00:07:23--> 00:07:23

clothes

00:07:24--> 00:07:26

and harams and riding camels with simple saddles.

00:07:26--> 00:07:27

And he said

00:07:27--> 00:07:30

if anyone wants to see how Rasulullah is

00:07:30--> 00:07:33

Rasoolam and his Sahaba made Hajj, let them

00:07:33--> 00:07:35

look at these people, see these people.

00:07:36--> 00:07:37

When Rasoolullah

00:07:37--> 00:07:38

Salaam was in Arafah,

00:07:39--> 00:07:39

Allah

00:07:40--> 00:07:41

revealed this famous

00:07:53--> 00:07:54

salallahu alayhi wasalam,

00:07:55--> 00:07:56

this day I have perfected

00:07:57--> 00:07:59

your religion for you

00:07:59--> 00:08:02

and completed my favor upon you and have

00:08:02--> 00:08:05

chosen for you Islam as your religion.

00:08:06--> 00:08:08

During the Khalifa of Sayyidina Muhammad Al Khattar

00:08:10--> 00:08:12

a Jewish man came to him and he

00:08:12--> 00:08:15

said, yeah, Amirul Gomani. If this ayah had

00:08:15--> 00:08:16

been revealed

00:08:16--> 00:08:19

for us, it will reveal to us,

00:08:19--> 00:08:22

we would have made that day a day

00:08:22--> 00:08:22

of celebration.

00:08:23--> 00:08:25

Sayyidina Abu said to him, I know when

00:08:25--> 00:08:28

that Ayah was revealed. It was revealed in

00:08:28--> 00:08:29

Arafa

00:08:29--> 00:08:31

and it was a Friday.

00:08:31--> 00:08:33

So it was in, in Hajj, and it

00:08:33--> 00:08:36

was a Friday in Arafat. So he said,

00:08:36--> 00:08:39

so we have two reasons to celebrate this

00:08:40--> 00:08:41

ayat. 1, that it was,

00:08:42--> 00:08:44

revealed on the day of Hajj, and secondly,

00:08:44--> 00:08:45

that it was revealed

00:08:46--> 00:08:47

on the Friday.

00:08:47--> 00:08:48

So Rasulullah

00:08:50--> 00:08:53

delivered his last sermon. It's called Khutbaturwada. It

00:08:53--> 00:08:54

was not his last sermon because he after

00:08:54--> 00:08:55

that,

00:08:56--> 00:08:58

he also did, Khutab in,

00:09:00--> 00:09:00

in Madera.

00:09:01--> 00:09:02

But this was the it's called the last

00:09:02--> 00:09:04

sermon because it was the his,

00:09:05--> 00:09:07

last Hajj, the only Hajj that he did,

00:09:07--> 00:09:10

from Madira, and therefore it was a Khutba

00:09:10--> 00:09:12

there. So it is generally called Khutba Tur

00:09:13--> 00:09:15

or Wada, the last Hajj, Khutba or farewell

00:09:15--> 00:09:16

Khutba.

00:09:17--> 00:09:19

And this was on 9th Dhul Hijjah,

00:09:21--> 00:09:24

10 years after Hajra, which is the migration

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

from Akkad Madinah

00:09:25--> 00:09:28

in the urana Valley of Mount Alfa.

00:09:29--> 00:09:31

His words were quite clear and concise and

00:09:31--> 00:09:32

were directed

00:09:32--> 00:09:34

towards all of humanity.

00:09:34--> 00:09:38

He said, and this is mentioned in, Musa,

00:09:38--> 00:09:40

of course, all the books of hadith and

00:09:40--> 00:09:41

so on and so forth,

00:09:42--> 00:09:44

but this is probably the most detailed version

00:09:44--> 00:09:45

anyway.

00:09:45--> 00:09:47

So he said, O people lend me an

00:09:47--> 00:09:48

attentive year.

00:09:48--> 00:09:50

So he says this is the meaning of

00:09:50--> 00:09:53

it. O people lend me an attentive year,

00:09:53--> 00:09:56

for I do not know whether after this

00:09:56--> 00:09:58

ear I shall ever be amongst you again.

00:09:59--> 00:10:01

Meaning, I don't know whether I will

00:10:02--> 00:10:03

come for Hajj

00:10:04--> 00:10:06

again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying

00:10:06--> 00:10:07

to you very carefully

00:10:08--> 00:10:10

and take these words to those who could

00:10:10--> 00:10:12

not be present here today.

00:10:14--> 00:10:17

Oh, people, just as you regard this month,

00:10:17--> 00:10:19

this day, this city as sacred,

00:10:20--> 00:10:23

So regard the life and property of every

00:10:23--> 00:10:25

Muslim as a sacred trust.

00:10:26--> 00:10:29

Return the goods entrusted to you to their

00:10:29--> 00:10:29

rightful

00:10:30--> 00:10:33

owners. Hurt no one so that no one

00:10:33--> 00:10:35

may hurt you.

00:10:35--> 00:10:39

Remember that you will indeed meet your rub

00:10:39--> 00:10:41

and that He will indeed

00:10:41--> 00:10:43

reckon your deeds.

00:10:44--> 00:10:44

Allah

00:10:45--> 00:10:48

has forbidden you to take interest using.

00:10:49--> 00:10:51

Therefore, all interest obligation

00:10:52--> 00:10:53

shall henceforth

00:10:53--> 00:10:54

be

00:10:54--> 00:10:55

waived.

00:10:57--> 00:11:00

Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You

00:11:00--> 00:11:01

will neither inflict

00:11:01--> 00:11:03

nor suffer any inequity,

00:11:03--> 00:11:04

meaning injustice.

00:11:05--> 00:11:07

Allah has judged that there shall be no

00:11:07--> 00:11:10

interest and that all the interest due to

00:11:10--> 00:11:13

Abbasid in Abdul Muttalib, his own uncle,

00:11:14--> 00:11:14

shall henceforth

00:11:15--> 00:11:17

be cancelled, be waived.

00:11:17--> 00:11:21

And remember, this means taking and paying both.

00:11:22--> 00:11:24

Then he continued. He said, beware of shaitan

00:11:24--> 00:11:26

for the safety of your religion. He has

00:11:26--> 00:11:29

lost all hope that he will ever be

00:11:29--> 00:11:29

able to

00:11:30--> 00:11:31

lead you astray in big

00:11:32--> 00:11:34

things, so beware of following him in small

00:11:34--> 00:11:35

things.

00:11:36--> 00:11:38

Oh, people, it is true that you have

00:11:38--> 00:11:41

certain rights with regard to your women,

00:11:42--> 00:11:45

but they also have rights over you. Remember

00:11:45--> 00:11:47

that you have taken them as your wives

00:11:47--> 00:11:50

only under Allah's trust and with his permission.

00:11:50--> 00:11:51

If they abide

00:11:52--> 00:11:53

by your right,

00:11:53--> 00:11:56

then to them belongs the right to be

00:11:56--> 00:11:57

fed and clothed in kindness.

00:11:58--> 00:12:00

Do treat your women well and be kind

00:12:00--> 00:12:03

to them for they are your partners

00:12:03--> 00:12:04

and committed helpers.

00:12:06--> 00:12:08

And it is your right that they do

00:12:08--> 00:12:09

not make friends with anyone

00:12:10--> 00:12:12

whom you do not approve of

00:12:13--> 00:12:14

as well

00:12:15--> 00:12:16

as never to be

00:12:16--> 00:12:17

unchaste.

00:12:19--> 00:12:21

O people, listen to me in earnest.

00:12:21--> 00:12:22

Worship Allah

00:12:25--> 00:12:28

Say your 5 daily prayers,

00:12:28--> 00:12:29

fast during Ramadan,

00:12:30--> 00:12:32

and give your wealth in Zakat,

00:12:32--> 00:12:35

and perform Hajj if you can afford to.

00:12:35--> 00:12:37

So he's talking about the 5 pillars of

00:12:37--> 00:12:38

Islam.

00:12:38--> 00:12:41

He says all mankind is from Adam and

00:12:41--> 00:12:42

Hawa,

00:12:42--> 00:12:44

and Arab has no superiority

00:12:45--> 00:12:48

over a non Arab nor a non Arab

00:12:48--> 00:12:50

has any nor does a non Arab have

00:12:50--> 00:12:51

any superiority

00:12:52--> 00:12:53

over an Arab.

00:12:53--> 00:12:57

Also, a white person has no superiority over

00:12:57--> 00:12:58

a black person

00:12:58--> 00:12:59

nor does

00:12:59--> 00:13:00

a black person

00:13:01--> 00:13:02

have any superiority

00:13:03--> 00:13:05

over a white person except

00:13:05--> 00:13:07

by piety and court actions.

00:13:09--> 00:13:10

So he's

00:13:11--> 00:13:14

anti racism. He's completely canceling all

00:13:15--> 00:13:16

ideas of racial

00:13:16--> 00:13:19

superiority, which is based on color and physical,

00:13:20--> 00:13:23

attributes. Then he continues, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:13:23--> 00:13:26

learn that every Muslim is a brother to

00:13:26--> 00:13:28

every Muslim and that the Muslims

00:13:28--> 00:13:30

constitute one brotherhood.

00:13:31--> 00:13:35

Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which

00:13:35--> 00:13:36

belongs to a fellow Muslim

00:13:37--> 00:13:38

unless it was given freely

00:13:39--> 00:13:40

and willingly.

00:13:40--> 00:13:42

Do not therefore do

00:13:42--> 00:13:43

injustice to yourselves.

00:13:44--> 00:13:47

Remember, one day you will appear before Allah

00:13:47--> 00:13:50

and answer for your deeds. So beware.

00:13:50--> 00:13:53

Do not stray from the path of righteousness

00:13:53--> 00:13:55

after I am gone.

00:13:55--> 00:13:58

Oh, people, no prophet or apostle, or meaning

00:13:58--> 00:14:00

no Rasul or Nabi,

00:14:00--> 00:14:04

will come after me and no new faith

00:14:04--> 00:14:05

will be born.

00:14:06--> 00:14:10

Reason well, therefore, oh people, and understand words

00:14:10--> 00:14:13

which I convey to you. I leave behind

00:14:13--> 00:14:15

me 2 things, the Quran

00:14:16--> 00:14:18

and my example, the sunnah.

00:14:19--> 00:14:21

And if you follow these, you will never

00:14:21--> 00:14:22

go astray.

00:14:22--> 00:14:24

All those who listen to me

00:14:25--> 00:14:26

shall pass on

00:14:26--> 00:14:28

my words to others

00:14:28--> 00:14:29

and though others

00:14:30--> 00:14:32

again and again, and may the last ones

00:14:33--> 00:14:36

understand my words better than those who listen

00:14:36--> 00:14:37

to me directly.

00:14:38--> 00:14:40

Be my witness, oh Allah, that I have

00:14:40--> 00:14:41

conveyed

00:14:42--> 00:14:43

your message to your people.

00:14:44--> 00:14:45

And this is,

00:14:46--> 00:14:47

in Bukhari Muslim,

00:14:48--> 00:14:49

Thiru Adi

00:14:49--> 00:14:53

and in Muslim ad Imam Ahmed, and so

00:14:53--> 00:14:53

on.

00:14:56--> 00:14:58

So this is this, the the basic,

00:14:59--> 00:15:00

gist of the

00:15:01--> 00:15:02

of the speech

00:15:03--> 00:15:04

of Haggitul

00:15:05--> 00:15:05

Wada.

00:15:07--> 00:15:08

Towards the end of the,

00:15:09--> 00:15:09

speech,

00:15:10--> 00:15:11

Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:15:12--> 00:15:14

asked the the people, he said, have I,

00:15:14--> 00:15:16

oh, people, have I faithfully

00:15:16--> 00:15:18

delivered unto you

00:15:19--> 00:15:19

my message?

00:15:20--> 00:15:24

And people all said, oh, Allah. Yes. Oh

00:15:24--> 00:15:29

Allah, yes. Allahum Manam, Allahum Manam from thousands

00:15:29--> 00:15:29

of people.

00:15:30--> 00:15:30

And

00:15:31--> 00:15:33

it was like a like a

00:15:33--> 00:15:35

they said that it was like a roll

00:15:35--> 00:15:36

of thunder

00:15:36--> 00:15:39

in the entire valley. Rasool SAW

00:15:39--> 00:15:40

raised his forefinger

00:15:41--> 00:15:43

and said looked up to the sky, and

00:15:43--> 00:15:45

he said, be my witness, oh, Allah.

00:15:45--> 00:15:48

Be my witness, oh, Allah. And that I

00:15:48--> 00:15:48

have conveyed

00:15:49--> 00:15:50

your message to your people.

00:16:13--> 00:16:15

Let me come to

00:16:17--> 00:16:20

the famous story of Wadi al.

00:16:21--> 00:16:22

When Rasool

00:16:31--> 00:16:34

transportation. They asked him. He refused. He then

00:16:34--> 00:16:36

had to travel somewhere, but when he returned,

00:16:37--> 00:16:38

he saw the marks

00:16:39--> 00:16:39

the sandals on

00:16:40--> 00:16:42

the camels which had been taken for salakat,

00:16:42--> 00:16:45

and he also saw some of the clothing

00:16:46--> 00:16:47

given for salakat

00:16:47--> 00:16:49

being worn by some people. So he got

00:16:49--> 00:16:52

angry and ordered everything to be returned. The

00:16:52--> 00:16:55

people did not like that, and someone went

00:16:55--> 00:16:55

to

00:16:56--> 00:16:56

and complained.

00:16:57--> 00:16:59

As he was speaking, one of the Sahaba,

00:17:00--> 00:17:01

who was sitting with

00:17:02--> 00:17:04

kept vehemently agreeing

00:17:04--> 00:17:06

every time the man criticized

00:17:07--> 00:17:07

Saidan Ali.

00:17:10--> 00:17:12

Rasoolam turned to this man, and he said,

00:17:12--> 00:17:15

do you dislike Ali? He said, yes, Rasulullah.

00:17:15--> 00:17:17

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam put his hand

00:17:17--> 00:17:19

on his knee and he said, you should

00:17:19--> 00:17:19

love Ali.

00:17:20--> 00:17:23

And the man said, before that day, Ali

00:17:23--> 00:17:25

was the most hated man for me, and

00:17:25--> 00:17:27

after that day, he became the most beloved

00:17:27--> 00:17:28

to me.

00:17:28--> 00:17:31

On the way back to Madinah from Hajj,

00:17:31--> 00:17:33

Rasool Rasool Islam stopped at Madinukom

00:17:34--> 00:17:35

and that is why he made this famous

00:17:35--> 00:17:37

statement, mankuntum

00:17:37--> 00:17:38

mawdah

00:17:38--> 00:17:41

for aliyun mawla. He said for anyone

00:17:41--> 00:17:43

to whom I am a friend,

00:17:43--> 00:17:45

Ali is also a friend.

00:17:48--> 00:17:48

Rasool

00:17:49--> 00:17:52

did this to clear the air about Ali

00:17:52--> 00:17:56

binabit Ali radiAllahu Anhu, and we quash

00:17:56--> 00:17:58

any rumors about him,

00:17:59--> 00:18:00

and to show his status

00:18:01--> 00:18:03

as being his cousin and son-in-law

00:18:03--> 00:18:05

and of his family.

00:18:06--> 00:18:07

And, this is also why,

00:18:10--> 00:18:10

we,

00:18:10--> 00:18:11

Sunni Muslims,

00:18:12--> 00:18:13

we also say,

00:18:15--> 00:18:16

We say,

00:18:19--> 00:18:20

May Allah

00:18:20--> 00:18:22

glorify his face,

00:18:22--> 00:18:23

and

00:18:23--> 00:18:24

meaning that

00:18:25--> 00:18:25

to give

00:18:26--> 00:18:28

him the Izzah because there were people used

00:18:28--> 00:18:28

to

00:18:30--> 00:18:32

to curse him and to say things about

00:18:32--> 00:18:33

him which were noncomplimentary.

00:18:34--> 00:18:37

Of course, we completely and totally reject any

00:18:37--> 00:18:39

of that saying that Ali Adelainu is

00:18:40--> 00:18:42

the dearest to us and Alhamdulillah,

00:18:43--> 00:18:44

his status,

00:18:46--> 00:18:47

both personally as

00:18:48--> 00:18:49

a person of

00:18:49--> 00:18:51

enormous learning and piety

00:18:51--> 00:18:54

as well as the cousin and son-in-law of

00:18:55--> 00:18:58

Rasulullah, the father of Hassan Hussain the

00:18:59--> 00:19:00

husband of Fatima to Zahra

00:19:02--> 00:19:03

All of these are

00:19:09--> 00:19:11

We come to the 11th year of hijrah.

00:19:11--> 00:19:12

Rasulullah

00:19:12--> 00:19:13

returned to Madinah

00:19:13--> 00:19:15

and spent maharam and supper.

00:19:15--> 00:19:18

He appointed Osama bin Zayed Raviala'anuh

00:19:19--> 00:19:20

as the

00:19:20--> 00:19:21

commander of

00:19:22--> 00:19:23

an army

00:19:23--> 00:19:24

and sent him to Moza

00:19:25--> 00:19:25

and

00:19:26--> 00:19:27

said to him

00:19:28--> 00:19:30

to step on the place with your horses

00:19:30--> 00:19:32

where your fathers were killed.

00:19:33--> 00:19:35

Now Osama bin Laden was very young at

00:19:35--> 00:19:37

the time, maybe 18, 20 years old, while

00:19:37--> 00:19:39

in his army were Abu Bakr and all

00:19:39--> 00:19:40

our other seniors, Sahar.

00:19:41--> 00:19:42

So, Sahar, some people objected,

00:19:44--> 00:19:47

because of his age and also because he

00:19:47--> 00:19:48

was a son of a former slave.

00:19:49--> 00:19:50

He was a son of,

00:19:51--> 00:19:52

Zayd bin Haritha.

00:19:57--> 00:19:58

So, they objected

00:19:59--> 00:20:02

to free men being under his command. Imagine,

00:20:02--> 00:20:03

even in the life of

00:20:04--> 00:20:05

despite all that he did,

00:20:06--> 00:20:08

there were people who had these prejudices. So

00:20:08--> 00:20:10

it shows us that changing people's mind, changing

00:20:10--> 00:20:12

people's heart is not an easy thing. It's

00:20:12--> 00:20:14

a very, very difficult thing. We ask Allah

00:20:14--> 00:20:16

to make it easy for us. Even Rasool

00:20:17--> 00:20:18

had difficulties. Imagine what

00:20:19--> 00:20:20

how difficult it is.

00:20:21--> 00:20:23

He managed it. He was successful eventually,

00:20:24--> 00:20:25

and, he created a

00:20:26--> 00:20:26

society

00:20:27--> 00:20:29

where people loved each other only for the

00:20:29--> 00:20:30

sake of Allah

00:20:31--> 00:20:33

just so that it is proven to us

00:20:33--> 00:20:35

that it is doable. Nobody said it's easy,

00:20:35--> 00:20:37

but also nobody said it cannot be done

00:20:37--> 00:20:38

because we have evidence,

00:20:39--> 00:20:40

historical evidence from the

00:20:41--> 00:20:43

that it can be done, it was done,

00:20:43--> 00:20:45

and therefore, it can be done even today

00:20:45--> 00:20:47

if we have the mind to do that.

00:20:48--> 00:20:51

So when this talk of the objections to

00:20:51--> 00:20:53

say the say that,

00:20:53--> 00:20:55

Osama bin Azayd,

00:20:59--> 00:21:01

He said, if you are disputing his appointment,

00:21:01--> 00:21:04

then you also disputed the appointment of his

00:21:04--> 00:21:06

father before him. In the name of Allah,

00:21:07--> 00:21:08

he, Zayd bin Haritha,

00:21:09--> 00:21:12

was a suitable person to be the leader

00:21:12--> 00:21:15

and was the most beloved person to me.

00:21:15--> 00:21:16

And this man,

00:21:16--> 00:21:17

me meaning,

00:21:18--> 00:21:19

Osama bin Zayed,

00:21:20--> 00:21:22

is one of the most beloved people to

00:21:22--> 00:21:25

meet after him. So Rasoolullah is

00:21:25--> 00:21:27

literally sort of giving his endorsement

00:21:28--> 00:21:28

to,

00:21:29--> 00:21:31

Osama bin Zayed of the land where he

00:21:31--> 00:21:32

says that he is the,

00:21:33--> 00:21:35

was a beloved person to him. Now this

00:21:35--> 00:21:38

appointment also shows that discipline in Islam

00:21:39--> 00:21:41

is so strong and that the amir

00:21:42--> 00:21:43

must be obeyed.

00:21:44--> 00:21:45

The importance of followership.

00:21:46--> 00:21:48

Today, we have a we we all say,

00:21:48--> 00:21:49

you know, we have we we have a

00:21:49--> 00:21:51

lack of leadership. The reality is we don't

00:21:51--> 00:21:53

have a lack of leadership. We have a

00:21:53--> 00:21:53

lack of followership.

00:21:54--> 00:21:55

We just have too many leaders. We have

00:21:55--> 00:21:57

so too many people who think that they

00:21:57--> 00:21:58

should be the leader,

00:21:58--> 00:22:01

but we don't have people who say,

00:22:01--> 00:22:04

whoever is the leader, I will follow that

00:22:04--> 00:22:06

leader and support that leader. If necessary, correct

00:22:06--> 00:22:09

the leader, but make sure the leader succeeds

00:22:09--> 00:22:11

because that way I also succeed. This is

00:22:11--> 00:22:15

very, very important to understand this. Without this

00:22:15--> 00:22:16

discipline of followership,

00:22:17--> 00:22:18

you cannot have

00:22:18--> 00:22:21

leadership. Second thing is the importance of youth

00:22:22--> 00:22:23

to take responsibility

00:22:23--> 00:22:25

for serious matters of the,

00:22:26--> 00:22:28

And Rasool Rasool Rasool Rasool Rasoolam, life, the

00:22:28--> 00:22:30

whole Syria is full of the young people

00:22:30--> 00:22:33

who did brilliant and phenomenal things. Take, Musadda

00:22:33--> 00:22:34

Naira Dehlam.

00:22:35--> 00:22:37

17, 18 years old, comes in literally

00:22:38--> 00:22:41

practically all the big sahaba, all the big

00:22:41--> 00:22:41

names,

00:22:42--> 00:22:43

in Madinah

00:22:43--> 00:22:45

accepted Islam at his hand. When I say

00:22:45--> 00:22:48

big names, I mean, with each of them,

00:22:48--> 00:22:50

their whole tribe. For example,

00:22:53--> 00:22:55

Sayedid Ahmad of Delano,

00:22:56--> 00:22:58

his whole tribe, the Aus,

00:22:59--> 00:23:02

accepted Islam because of him, because he accepted

00:23:02--> 00:23:03

Islam. Right?

00:23:04--> 00:23:05

Saad bin Ma'at,

00:23:06--> 00:23:09

his whole tribe accepted Islam because

00:23:10--> 00:23:10

of his,

00:23:11--> 00:23:13

accepting of Islam and so on.

00:23:14--> 00:23:16

3rd thing is also, this is a matter

00:23:16--> 00:23:18

of inspiration for all of us that

00:23:19--> 00:23:19

people took

00:23:20--> 00:23:21

responsibility

00:23:21--> 00:23:23

and they acted with responsibility.

00:23:24--> 00:23:27

And as I said, many, many young Sahaba

00:23:27--> 00:23:30

in the time of Rasool Salat

00:23:33--> 00:23:34

who who who fit this,

00:23:35--> 00:23:38

who fit this bill that they were people,

00:23:39--> 00:23:39

with

00:23:40--> 00:23:42

with this sense of responsibility. As I mentioned,

00:23:42--> 00:23:44

Osama bin Nair is 1.

00:23:44--> 00:23:47

Then there was Bashir Ondalal, He was another

00:23:47--> 00:23:47

fantastic,

00:23:48--> 00:23:50

human being. And Sahabi,

00:23:50--> 00:23:51

who,

00:23:52--> 00:23:53

you know, in the time of the of

00:23:53--> 00:23:54

Islam,

00:23:54--> 00:23:55

who

00:23:58--> 00:23:59

who also,

00:23:59--> 00:24:01

as as a young person,

00:24:02--> 00:24:02

he was

00:24:04--> 00:24:06

given responsibility. He accepted it, and he did

00:24:06--> 00:24:08

that. His man bin Jabal Radilano,

00:24:08--> 00:24:10

who was sent as a,

00:24:11--> 00:24:12

governor of

00:24:14--> 00:24:15

governor and,

00:24:17--> 00:24:18

you know, judge,

00:24:19--> 00:24:19

Kadi,

00:24:19--> 00:24:20

to Yemen

00:24:20--> 00:24:21

and so on. So

00:24:22--> 00:24:24

it's a we see this in,

00:24:25--> 00:24:27

in Islam and in the

00:24:27--> 00:24:28

that Rasool always

00:24:28--> 00:24:29

give,

00:24:30--> 00:24:30

the youth

00:24:31--> 00:24:32

a lot of,

00:24:32--> 00:24:33

responsibility,

00:24:33--> 00:24:34

and

00:24:34--> 00:24:35

these,

00:24:36--> 00:24:37

people also,

00:24:37--> 00:24:39

they fulfill that responsibility. It's not just a

00:24:39--> 00:24:41

matter of saying, you know, give the responsibility.

00:24:42--> 00:24:44

Give the responsibility and after that, if the

00:24:44--> 00:24:46

responsibility is not fulfilled,

00:24:46--> 00:24:47

then where do you go from there? So

00:24:47--> 00:24:48

that's the,

00:24:50--> 00:24:52

also very important for us to understand that

00:24:53--> 00:24:55

that it's a matter of you know, it's

00:24:55--> 00:24:58

it's a 2 way 2 way street. You

00:24:58--> 00:25:00

you get responsibility, then you have to also

00:25:00--> 00:25:01

fulfill the responsibility.

00:25:03--> 00:25:05

All of this has to eventually, it boils

00:25:05--> 00:25:06

down to,

00:25:08--> 00:25:09

you know, it boils down to

00:25:11--> 00:25:12

the the whole issue of,

00:25:16--> 00:25:18

how serious we are with our lives.

00:25:19--> 00:25:21

The one of the things of,

00:25:22--> 00:25:22

Sahaba

00:25:25--> 00:25:27

was that they were so serious and so,

00:25:28--> 00:25:29

you know,

00:25:29--> 00:25:30

clear in their minds,

00:25:31--> 00:25:33

with regard to their deal that this they

00:25:33--> 00:25:34

everything they had in the deal.

00:25:33--> 00:25:34

everything they had in the deal.
