My brothers and sisters,
when we read the Seera of Rasool,
when you read the history of Islam,
the thing that strikes at least strikes me
is
the number of people
who gave their lives
only for the karabah.
Not for land, not for
freedom from this or that, not for power,
not for money,
not for property.
Only for the.
The first
shahid, the first martyr in Islam,
as we know,
is
Saydah Sumayya bint Hayat
the mother
of Omar Ibn Yasir, followed
a
short while after
by her husband,
Yasser Oderan.
And Abu Jahal, who
killed both of them,
He killed
by spearing her,
and he killed
even more horribly, if there is a way
of saying that or comparing,
by dismembering him, by tying
his limbs to horses,
4 horses and tearing them apart.
You know, even to say this seems like
a fantasy.
Imagine it happening to somebody,
and that does not instantly kill you.
It just takes away your arms and legs.
The body is still there. You're alive.
We don't know how long it takes to
die.
And all that they had to do to
escape that was to say, we leave the
deen of Muhammad.
As a matter of fact, his son,
Sayidina
did that.
He saw this happening in front of his
eyes. Abuja continued to torture him, and he
said, give up the. He said, give it
up.
Then he went to.
He was freed. Fine.
Go.
Then he went to and he said, yeah,
I have done this.
I could not bear the pain. I could
not bear the suffering, and I said this.
Rasool, Rasool, Rasool, said to him, what was
in your heart? He said my heart was.
So Rasool rasoolam said then there is no
problem.
So there was a legitimate way out of
this.
Now I'm not comparing the Sahabi to Sahabi.
This is for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But
I'm just saying
that the same way was also available to
his parents.
They did not take it.
They did not take it.
We have Musaib Nawa, the
ambassador, the teacher,
the the emissary, the n y of Rasulullah
who is sent to Madinah.
Musa ibn Omar Radialanu,
one of the wealthiest of the Sahaba,
young man, maybe 17, maybe 18 years old,
Very wealthy. His mother loved him. She's
literally showered wealth on him.
He was very fond of
beautiful clothes and beautiful perfumes and so on
and so forth. They used to say that
if went down a road and he went
after when you came down, you could smell
the perfume. So so,
you know
and when he accepted Islam, his mother
locked him up, tortured him,
took away everything he had.
And finally, she threw him out of the
house. And as he was going, he said,
no. No. These clothes you are wearing also
belong to me.
You cannot go with these clothes. Take the
clothes off.
And she allowed him to take one sheet
of cloth to wrap to wrap wrap himself
with.
Because her thinking was very simple. Here is
this boy who has grown up in the
lap of luxury. Take away the money. He'll
come back to, you know,
come back to the to
the, according to her, the right path.
Didn't happen.
He went with their one sheet of cloth,
and
Rasulullah sent him
to Madirah Munawar as his emissary as his
representative.
And there among the
many, many Sahaba who accepted Islam on his
hand was Sa'ad bin.
The Sahabi who when he died, when he
was shayed in the
battle of Khanda, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
the the throne of Allah
shook
for the death of Saad bin Mahad.
He accepted Islam at the hand of Musa
ibn Nawar, 18 year old boy.
And Usaid bin Hudayr,
one of the greatest of the Quran
and many of the Sahaba, practically almost everybody
in Madinah,
all the Sahaba,
accept Islam at the end of Musa.
Battle of Uhud,
he is the standard bearer. He is the
one carrying the
banner of Islam
on behalf of Rasulullah.
But the standard bearer in these wars, in
these medieval wars and pre medieval wars,
His only job was to keep the standard
flying. He was not a he was not
a soldier. He would not be fighting
because
the standard is the
soul of the army. When they when the
soldiers are fighting, they are looking to see
if my flag is still up.
If the flag is still up, they continue
to fight. If the flag has fallen,
it takes away the morale of the soldiers.
So the the the job of the standard
bearer is extremely, extremely important, and it's also
extremely dangerous. And he cannot fight. He cannot
defend himself.
So his own brother soldier,
you would have 2 or 3 of them
who will be around him.
Now in the case of and all
that, they surrounded him, the enemy,
and he was holding the battle
standard with his hand and they chopped off
his right hand.
He did not let the standard fall. He
grabbed it with his left hand. They chopped
off his left hand.
Then he tried to hold the standard with
the stumps of his arms
and he speared him from the back.
Today, if a little you know, you get
a little cut.
I sometimes think about these things. You get
a little cut.
These were people, their arm cut off, their
leg cut off. They didn't bother about it.
One miserable cut in our
you know? Has given us the resources, given
us the facility and medical treatments, so nothing
wrong in there. But think about this.
It's easy to say they chopped off his
hand chop. What does it mean chopped off
his
hand? One cut, you get one paper cut.
Forget about anything else. You're not in a
war. One paper cut, you get your finger.
You you think about it for 10 days.
And that is how Musa ibn Omar Odehlaanhu,
he died.
In the battle of Mota.
And Rasul predicted.
He sent Zayd bin Haritha. He said, this
is the amir of this jawat.
And he says, if he falls,
Abdullah
will take over and Abdullah will
take over.
And if he also falls, then you choose
your own.
Amir.
Now when Rasool says if he falls, it
means he will fall.
And so it happened.
They also knew that.
They didn't say, no, no, no. Excuse me.
You say that. I'm not going. No.
In
that same battle, the
brother elder brother,
Again, both his arms got cut off.
They
asked
him,
Allah gave him wings.
That's why he's called.
1 after the other.
He is the imam. He's reading
salah,
reciting Quran.
The man who is
Llanatul Ali,
he has a dagger which he has
soaked in poison.
He came and slashed Saeedullah to
cut his belly.
And then he slashed 11 or 13 more
people.
He stabbed and slashed them before he was
overpowered.
In Madinah,
So his daughter, our mother, Hafsa bint,
Umar ibn Khattar
the wife of Rasulullah,
she says to him, yeah, my father, you
are asking for dua, for Allah to give
you sha'ada, and you are in Badinah.
The frontier is in Iraq.
The frontier is in is is in,
in in, near, near Iran.
Said, my job is to ask Allah.
It is for Allah to give.
And Allah gave him shaadah in Madinah,
on the muzalla, in Masjid and Abu al
Sharif.
When you go to Madinah Manawalah,
Masjid Nabi, may Allah gives us give us
the opportunity to go again and again.
And when you go into rial jannah, the
member of Rasool Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, not
where the imam is praying today. In in
the other jannah, the member of
this is where.
That is where.
That is where he was leading salah,
next to the member.
SubhanAllah.
I mean, I can go on endlessly. There
is not one.
And through time, it's not This this did
not I gave you the names of sahaba,
but this did not end with the sahaba.
It continued through the ages,
and it is continuing until today.
The Muslims in Bosnia in Bosnia my brother
is here.
Why were they killed? How what?
Because they said, Shadrach,
and all they had to do
to escape being killed, to escape being
their property
destroyed,
their lives wiped out, all they needed to
do was to say, I leave Islam.
True?
Because I leave Islam. Forget about this. I'm
not interested. How did they return to your
The original religion. Yeah. Return to your original
religion.
Okay. Fine. Good. I returned to my original
religion. Finished.
Listen.
I have spoken to some Bosnians,
and one of them told me,
They said, Sheikh, we knew nothing about Islam.
Nothing.
If you ask us what is the, some
of us, we did not even know to
say the.
But we knew we are Muslim.
We knew we're Muslim, and that we will
not give up.
What does
Allah
do?
Maybe that person who did not even know
the Kalima, if he had died a normal
death, we don't know what happened to him.
But he died shayid feezavillah.
Because he has died only because he's Muslim.
And this continues,
and today we are seeing that happening in
Palestine.
For the world,
they have nothing.
But you ask them, they said, we have
Allah.
We have Allah.
This is the basirah.
This is the basirah. This is the eye
which sees the reality
and the reality is the of Allah.
It is not all this stuff we see.
Think about that. Today,
if
we have,
whether we have $10,000,000,000
or 10,000,000,000
or 1,000,000,000,000
or 1,000,000,000,000,
we have to leave
it. We have to leave it. There's nobody
who takes anything.
Imagine we spend all our lives
trying to gather as much stuff as we
can, which we have to leave.
Makes no sense.
We're gathering all this so that we can
leave it. Does it make any sense?
If I know I have to leave something,
why do I want it?
To do what?
This is what the Saab understood. The Saab
I keep saying all the
Nabi Salam made only one switch in the
head. That's it.
Nothing. The whole of Islam is one click,
one switch.
And that switch is from dunya to akhar.
Don't gather what you will leave,
gather what will be yours.
Allah said what is with you, you have
to leave it. It will perish.
What is with Allah will remain.
So you look for what is with Allah.
This is what the Sahaba did. That is
why if you think about this, people like
the names I gave you.
Almost all the names I gave you
were all Sahaba except for.
All of them were Sahaba
who died before Fatamaka.
All of them.
All the shohada of Ohad. Hamzah who
died in Ohad.
70 of
them, they did not see victory.
They did not see.
The 14 who died in Badr,
they did not see Fatah.
The people who are who lived, they saw
the the victory. The one who died didn't
see the victory.
Those who died in the battle of Motha,
which I mentioned to you,
they did not see. They did not see
victory.
Why did they still go? Why did they
still fight? Why did they still continue?
Why didn't they say, what is the good
of me alone saying and doing something after
all nobody else is doing it? What is
the guarantee this will succeed?
Because they knew it will succeed because I
am my success and failure is with Allah.
It's not here.
I'm not talking about this battle whether I
will win it or I will lose it.
I'm not talking about this deal whether it
goes through, it doesn't go through.
My deal is with Allah that if Allah
accepts me, this whole world, whatever is happening
here, make no difference.
That is the switch. This is the change
in our heads, in our hearts we needed
to make,
which is
to
give and precedence to the.
And that is why I
want to end with this, something which my
brother here sent me today.
He said, remember
that somebody died,
somebody shed his blood
so that you could be Muslim.
Somebody shed his blood
so that I could be Muslim.
And, SubhanAllah,
the names of these people who shed their
blood,
me and my whole family and my whole
for a 1000 years
is not enough,
is not equal to one day
in the life
of
or any of them.
That entire life
of 1000 years is not worth one single
day
in the life of another. And they died
for us.
They died for us. They died so that
we could be Muslim.
And that is why this Islam is a
very, very, very responsibility. It's not a joke.
It's not some fun and game thing I
do if I feel like doing. I today
is not convenient for me. I I'm not,
you know, I don't have energy. I'm feeling
lazy. No, no, no.
We remember those because of whom we call
ourselves Muslim.
And we try to live up to that
standard and we say, can we be worthy
of these people? When we meet them
on the day of judgement? Will they agree
to have us
sit in their
or will they say, no. No. Go away.
We
ask Allah to make us worthy of these
people
who did what they did so that we
could be Muslim.
We ask Allah
to help us and make it easy for
us and not to test us and to
save us and to protect us. We ask
Allah to
help all the people who are oppressed. We
ask Allah to help the especially our brothers
and sisters in Palestine,
in in Sudan,
in, wherever they are who are being oppressed.
We ask
to remove the oppressors,
oppressed and to give them victory inshallah.
oppressed and to give them victory inshallah.
