About, Fatimaqa.
Rasulullah
announced to the Muslims to prepare for war,
but told them to keep it secret. One
day,
told them,
go to this place called Rawbat Has
where you will find a woman who has
a letter.
Bring that letter to me.
Alida, the Alana, and the 2 men,
rode on horseback and found the woman. They
said to her, give us the letter. She
said, I have no letter. So then Ali
said to her, give us the letter or
we will strip you and take it.
Then she pulled out the letter from her
head and gave it to him. The letter
was from Hadith
of the law informing the Quraysh about the
plans of Rasulullah.
When he read the letter, Rasulullah
asked
what is this?
Adib
said, you Rasulullah,
please don't
hurry in deciding about me.
I am not from Horesh. I am an
outsider with
alliance with them.
Your companions,
your
have clans in Mecca who would take care
of their families and their wealth.
I wanted to do the Faresh a favor
so that they would not harm my family.
His mother lived in Mecca.
I did not do this to commit Kufur,
nor
from my religion,
nor
did I choose to leave my deen after
Ibad. So he said, I'm not a Kafir.
I'm not a Murtagh.
At the people of Badr and said, oh,
people of Badr, do whatever you like for
I have forgiven you. Now this shows us
also the
importance and the special
status of the,
people of Badr.
So Ramesh Al Hussein did not punish him,
and just left
him.
Now Allah
revealed Quran about this, incident in Surah Al
Mu'tayna. Allah
said,
towards them while they have disbelieved in what
has come to you of the truth, which
is Islam,
and have driven out Muhammad
and yourselves
from your homeland
because you believe in Allah, Jallajirallahu,
your Lord, your Rab.
If you have come forth to strive in
my cause
and to seek my good pleasure,
then do not take these these believers and
these enemies of Islam Islam as your
friends. You show a friendship to them in
secret while I am all aware of what
you conceal and what you reveal.
And whosoever of your bosom does that, then
indeed he has gone far straight far away
from the straight path.
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam marched forth in the
month of Ramadan, but as they neared Mecca,
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam broke his fast
and ordered the army also to break their
fast.
He took a cup of water and drank
in front of them, as an example.
They reached
Marab
Dahan where they saw many
arak trees.
This is a tree from which they make
the bismarck.
The fruit is called Qbas.
Rasulullah
told them to take the black ones which
are the best. They said to him, you,
Rasoolullah, you must have been a shepherd,
and this is because these trees go outside
Makkah,
and shepherds eat these fruits.
He said, yes, I was a shepherd and
so was every Nabi.
The importance of being a shepherd of sheep,
there is a lecture of mine specifically on
that.
So those those who are interested can look
at
that. People laughed, so people started climbing up.
Also climbed up one of those trees,
and he was a slim,
man.
So
his shins got exposed and they were thin
so people were laughing at his shins.
Rasool
noticed and he said you are laughing at
his shins
On the day of judgement, they will be
heavier on the scale than the mountain of
Ahad.
This is the one of the
very very important salient features of the Babi
Salam where he every single thing he said
and did was Dua continuously.
His talk and what he said and did,
everything was Dua. So anytime somebody said something,
he would give it a meaning from the
context of Dua. SubhanAllah.
The army was 10,000 strong,
but the Quraysh had no idea that they
were coming because the Surah sallam
had made
dua to Allah
and said, you Allah, hide us from them.
And Allah
did that.
But Rasool,
on the other hand, knew
about every movement of the Quraysh.
Rasool
had scouts, and they were bringing
him intelligence as well as Allah
was sending him information
through Jibreel
The
Saba were totally loyal to Rasool Rasool Rasoolam
and would never reveal
anything about him or the Muslims to the
enemy.
Today, unfortunately, this is a major problem with
the Muslims, and Muslims betray
other Muslims
to their enemies.
I remember myself when you
that
Islam
was successful because people practiced Islam, not because
they knew about Islam.
Knowing about the deen is important only to
the extent that you need to know about
about it to practice it. But if you
know about it and you do not practice
it, then that knowledge has no value. As
a matter of fact, that knowledge is a
problem because that knowledge
will become a witness against the person who
has that knowledge. But
that knowledge will become a witness against the
person who has that knowledge
but did not practice it.
Abu Sufyan, for well-being Warakah and Hakim bin
Hazam,
they came out of Mecca
to scout and try to get some information,
by asking travelers.
At night, they were close to the Muslim
army, and they saw the
the fires,
of the army, you know, the cooking fires.
Asked his companions, who are these?
And Fudar said they are preparing
for war.
They're not they're not so many.
Now while they were talking and so on
and standing,
unknown to them, the guard of the Muslim
army came up came upon them, and they
caught them.
And they took them to
was there. He saw Abu Sufyan,
and he put him on the mule of
and
rushed
to take him
to.
Saw
them, and he tried to kill Abu Sulfur
while Abbas
was trying to save him. When they reached
Rasulullah,
the argument continued until Abbas Abbas said, oh,
you are so keen to kill him because
he's not from Banu Adi. The Banu Adi
was the subtribe of the Quraysh to which
whereas,
and then he said, what you know that
he's from one of the Banu
Abdul Manaf,
and this is the
the tribe of, Quresh,
who,
I was a friend belong to.
And
And these were,
they were closer
to
said Allah
has witnessed. He's saying to
to, Abdullah,
to to, Al Abbas
He said, Allah
is a nice witness. Your iman, meaning the
iman of Al
Abbas, is dearer to me than if my
own father had become Muslim.
Because your iman is dearer to Rasulullah
than the iman of my father.
So in this beautiful
hadith, in this beautiful story,
we see how is
giving Al Abbas,
a lesson in Alwala, wal Baha,
friendship,
and enmity for the sake of Allah, meaning
what pleases me is what pleases Rasool Allah
SWAN, and what makes me angry is what
displeases Rasool Allah SWAN.
I am not saying this or doing this
for myself.
I am saying this and doing this,
because this is the situation with,
because it pleases him
or it angers him, whichever the case might
be.
So they brought
them. The said,
come back. Bring them back in the morning.
In the morning,
accepted Islam
of and Hakim Bin Hizam. They both accepted
Islam, and
accepted the Islam and his and he sent
the way.
Then he said to Abusafiyar, isn't it time
that you testified?
Isn't it time that you said?
Isn't it time that you testified that there
is no one worthy of worship except Allah?
I was looking and said you are generous
and honorable.
If there were other gods other than Allah,
they would have helped us now.
So he accepted.
Then Rasool said to him, isn't the time
that you accepted that I am the messenger
of Allah?
He said, yeah, Rasulullah,
I still find something in my heart against
that.
So Abbas
bin Abdul Mutareb got
sick of this, he got tired of this,
and he said, woe to you, Abu Sufyan.
Accept Islam before somebody chops off your head.
So Abu Sufyan said, Rashadullah Muhammad Rasulullah.
So he became Muslim, but, you know, in
the kind of
he wasn't forced to it, but
he put himself in a situation where it
was almost under duness, but he accept Islam.
And, of course, as we know, he remained
a beautiful Sahabi of the and true to
his word to the end of his
gave instructions to Al Abbas
to
hold
and wait at the mountain pass
entering Mecca. That's why the salazar wanted him
to see the overwhelming force of his army
so that it would end any desire to
fight against him.
And in that way, there would be no
bloodshed.
As they stood there watching the army march
past, they saw each tribe
separate with their banner
and commander. As they came past,
Abu Zibyan would ask Abbas, who they were,
and he would tell them. So Abbas told
them, this is Al Zifar.
Abbas said to them, this is Alifar. Abu
Zagan would say, I have nothing to do
with Alifar.
Then Aslam and Hussain and so on had
the same reply. I have nothing to do
with them. Then came a battalion which was
different and clearly superior to all others.
Abu Zakir and asked who they
were? Said, these are the Ansar.
The battalion was commanded by Sa'ad bin Wadda
Zafir
standing there, and he said,
He said, today is the day of slaughter.
Now people reported this to Rasool, and he
said Sa'ad is mistaken.
Today is the day of Marhamah. The
day of Rahmah, the day of mercy.
The day when Allah
will glorify the Kaaba. He then ordered for
the banner to be taken away from Saad
Mirawada of El Anu and to be given
to his son, Kais Saad Mirabal.
Now the wisdom of this is clear because
Saad Mirabal
was the head of a house,
and to take the banner away from him
would have been would have been seen as
an insult to him and to the tribe
and would have antagonized a loss.
But when it was given to his son,
there was no scope for anyone to be
offended. At the same time, Rasool wanted to
send a clear message to everyone that it
was not a time to settle scores for
personal vendettas
and that the rules of war would be
followed in all respects.
The Surah wanted to avoid,
bloodshed and to preserve the sanctity of the
hub.
As soon as the salam entered
peacefully, and there was no resistance.
As soon as the salam was entering Mecca
after 8 years. They had spent 13 years
suffering all kind of torture,
physical and mental,
in Mecca before being before being driven out
altogether,
and their wealth had been misappropriated.
But when Rasulullah
entered Mecca, he entered with humbleness,
reciting Surah Al Fatha. His head
lowered so far down that his blessed beard
was almost touching the saddle of the camel.
He was wearing a black turban and had
a white banner.
He made tawa for
and then called on Usman bin Talha to
bring the key of the cow. Usman bin
Talha's family,
are the keepers of the key of the
cover to this day.
Osman Adnan's mother at first refused
to give the key,
but then later, she gave it to him.
He brought it to Rasulullah
who opened the cover.
There was an image of a pigeon made
of
wood, some statue,
which he destroyed. There were pictures of angels,
or supposedly angels, and one supposed to be
of Ibrahim
using divining arrows.
And said, may Allah kill them.
They are show they have shown our
elder
doing something which he would never have done.
Then he ordered
to wipe out all the paintings
and clean all the walls.
Then he came out and stored in the
doorway,
as you know, which is high up, and
he called the
and the people of Mecca. At this this
time, they all came to him respectfully
to listen to him. A far cry from
their arrogance when he called them for the
first time when he received,
from Saba.
When he went to Ramzan to make,
the with him rushed
to take the water dripping from his arms
as bark. The people of Mecca saw this,
and they said, we have never seen such
a king before
whose whose people
literally,
they they respect him so much. Was the
same person. But today, on that day, because
he had power, they came to listen to
him.
Rasool Nasiram spoke to spoke to the people,
and he said, Alhamdulillah,
sadaqawada,
wanazarabda
He said, Alhamdulillah,
all prayers and thanks be to Allah
who was true to his promise.
And he helped his slave
and he defeated the confederates
by himself alone.
Families of anyone killed
All privilege of ancestry and pride that existed
in Jahilia are finished.
All these privileges
are beneath my feet. Remember,
the person saying this is one of the
privileged.
For somebody who comes from
a so called lower class or lower cast
to abolish privileges is understandable
understandable, because he never
benefited from it. He could not benefit from
it, so he wants to to
remove this class system. But for somebody who
is the privileged,
who is
one of the most privileged
or the most privileged,
yet he wants to abolish the system, shows
integrity,
and shows truthfulness,
and shows true belief in
the principle of equality.
As soon as had the key of the
cow at his hand,
combine for us the honors of feeding the
and the key of the cow. Now he's
saying feeding the because this was the
the privilege of the,
the actual family
of where they used to feed the hudjaj,
and they would make this soup and crush
bread in it and and feed it to
the Hijaz.
And and says says an idea that Nana
said, let us also hold the key of
the cow, But Rasool
didn't agree.
He called Osman
and he said, and these are the ancestral
people who
hold the key of the cover. He
called him. He gave him the key of
the cover and he said, take it and
keep it forever.
Nobody will take it from you except the
tyrant.
So to this day, when the Kaaba is
washed,
the in the name of the king of
Saudi Arabia, in the name of the Hadar
al Haramain, the custodian of
the holy mosque,
a person goes and takes the key from
the,
home of,
Saydana,
his
descendants.
And then the is open and clean, and
then the keys handed back to them.
Then went around the Kaaba on his Kaaba,
and he would point with his bow
at idles, and they fall down.
He did this with the 360
idols, which was which was to surround the
cover. And he was he would recite
He says, say,
the hawk has come, the truth has come,
and falsehood
has disappeared, and it is the nature of
falsehood to disappear.
Then he asked the Quresh.
He said to them, what do you think
I will do with you?
Remember, he's talking to people who were who
were mercilessly
prosecuted him and his salah and had stolen
his wealth and done all kind of things
to him,
including
they were the people who were
responsible for the death of his daughter, of
the Alana.
But when he asked them, what do you
think I will do with you? They said,
you are our honored brother, and you are
the son of our honored brother.
So relationships change depending
on who has power. And,
he
said to them,
go,
you are among those who are
released.
He said to them,
go for you are the released ones. You
are the ones who are released.
Now think about that.
These were the captives of Rasool Sorel,
and
the
norm of the time was that when you
conquered a city or conquered a
place, the men were either killed or enslaved,
and the women and children were taken also
as slaves.
So he could have
killed them, he could have
enslaved them,
but he released them.
So they were called,
the captives
of the released slaves.
And he did not even take any nuts.
He did not even ask them to compensate
for
what
they had stolen from him. This is the
dignity of the.
And what always amazes me is that even
the Sahaba, the army went by. Nobody asked
him for compensation
for what they lost
in
Mecca.
The people became that's the reason why they
called. Now there was a blacklist
of people, however.
Abdullah bin Qadil,
Abdullah bin Avisar,
Nakis
bin Sababa,
Al Huiz bin Naqif,
execute them even if you see them hanging
from the cover, the kiswa of the cover.
From the cover of the
cover.
So because these people, their,
the crimes that they have committed were of
such
nature. Now Abdulla became
Muslim and made Hajar, then Rasool
sent him to collect zakat
along with an Ansari man and a slave.
Abdullah told the slave to prepare to prepare
lunch,
which he did not. So Abdullah, in a
fit of rage, killed him.
Then fearing punishment, he apostated and ran away
back to Mecca and kept
2 slave women who
he would teach
to sing poetry,
blaspheming Rasool Allah his son.
His 2 singers, Fartana and Abla, were on
this list because of their blasphemy.
Abdul Abi Abi Sarah used to write Quran
for and
were and was one of the scribes.
Then he apostated and used to say that
he would change the meanings.
Nakil bin Sababa's brother was a Muslim and
was killed by mistake by an Ansari man
in the battle of Banu Mustalar.
Nakil became Muslim to collect the blood money
of his brother, then he ran away and
apostated.
When Abbas, we have the Buddha, Abraham will
send the daughters of Rasulullah
to Madina,
who had been was the one who provoked
the camel, and he stabbed
Zaynab Radilana,
and
both Zaynab Pradylana and Fatima Pradylana fell from
the
cabin.
And as a result of that, Zainab Pradylana
had
a miscarriage, and she lost her baby.
And soon after reaching Madina, she also passed
away. Sarah was a slave girl who used
to sing again,
blasphemer's things
against Rasulullah, son
of
a sudden.
Abdelvin kathal
was found. He was seen hanging from the,
Kiswah
of the cover,
and
he was killed. Fartana was also executed. Abner
became Muslim and
was saved.
Abdel Agni Abhis Salam took refuge with Usman
bin Affar Adel Anu, who was his
milk brother. He was
his brother because of
his
because they nursed
the same the same lady nursed both of
them. So he was his brother.
Said, I came to give you.
Rasulullah
did not,
respond.
Then he said it a second time.
Rasulullah get silent. Then he said it a
3rd time.
And after his 3rd time, Rasulullah
accepted
his behalf, and he became
Muslim.
Now when he left, said to the people
around him,
was there nobody among you who was wise
enough
to get up and kill him when you
saw that I was silent?
The Ansar said, if you had only made
a signal,
we would have killed it.
Rasool
said, prophets
do not kill
by giving
signals. So this this whole
thing of truthfulness and integrity is so
predominantly
visible in the seerah of Ravisa Salam.
Abzav and Ravisa, however, remained a good Muslim
and held some
and,
died in Sujood in.
So what does gave him,
you know, gave him, this
great honor,
that he died in Salah, in Salah.
Naqiz was killed by his cousin, and his
son was also killed.
And Salah was forgiven.
So even the
so called blacklist, not everyone who was on
it
was executed.
Abu Khaifa, the father
took
sister
to
the top of a hill
and asked her to describe what she was
seeing because he was blind.
His eyesight was very weak, almost blind. She
told him that she was seeing a huge
sea of black.
Those are the horsemen, he said.
Then she said, I see a man going
back and forth before them.
That is the commander giving
instructions,
he said.
Now they are dispersing,
she said.
He said they have received
their instructions,
and so they are,
leaving. And he said, let us get home
before we are caught. But as they came
down from the hill, they met some of
the cavalry,
and one of them tore off a
necklace
that
sister was wearing.
Brought his father
to meet Rasulullah.
He told
Rasulullah
said to
him, why did you bring the Sheikh here?
I would have come.
I mean, this is the
respect that
gave to our worker, that
even his father, though the father was not
even a Muslim,
and, Rasool,
at that time, was the conqueror.
Despite that,
he said to him he said,
why did you bring the share
here? I would have come. I would have
come to you. So I don't know how
he loved.
Then passed his hand across the chest of
Abu Qaha'afa,
and he became Muslim.
Sister then told him about her necklace.
Called out to the people and asked the
1 or 2 of the necklace to return
it as his sister was a Muslim and
her property was protected, but nobody came forward.
Our worker, Adelana, then said to his sister,
today, the level of trust is low, so
leave the
matter.
Chose
to
give a hand and ordered him to stand
on top of the Kaaba to do it.
One of the Mahdi'sin said he did it
to enrage the mushrike.
Rasool as a result did this to destroy
all systems of caste and creed and color
discrimination, all forms of discrimination,
and to establish the fact that only those
who have piety,
only those who have taqwa,
are the highest in the sight of Allah.
Not
white
or black
or anything else.
Only those who have piety
are the,
people who are the highest in the sight
of Allah.
Said the night of the conquest was not
a night of celebration in the novel sense
because, normally, they would be dancing and drinking
and whatnot. The Sabbath did not do any
of that. The Sabbath were making
around the car
and making the beer and the halil all
night.
They were saying, and
they were saying,
all night.
I
was to his wife, Hind, and asked her,
do you think this is from Allah? She
replied, yes. This is from Allah.
Later, I was a fan
and he said to him and Nabi said
to him,
you asked him if this is from Allah.
And she told you that it is from
He declared
Islam wholeheartedly after that because he had no
doubt no more
outlet.
Rasulullah
then declared Makkah as Al Haram,
which is a sanctuary
in which fighting, hunting game, and cutting trees
is prohibited.
The same applies to Madinah in the area
around Al Masjid Al Masjid
and Nabi.
