00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			What happened
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			to
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			him
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			to be a
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Muslim. As he's increasingly discontent with the society
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			around him, he wanted to be alone, to
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			ponder the meaning behind his suffering and his
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			tyranny that surround that was engulfing and drenching
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			society around him to Allah.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			So Allah made beloved to him to be
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			alone in solitude. It wasn't something out of
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			his whole accord. That wasn't his norm. But
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			he, so I said to them, wanted increasingly
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			more and more as and she says, nothing
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			was more beloved to him than solitude to
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			be alone, to contemplate, to meditate over the
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			creation of the heavens and the earth, the
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			falsehood that surrounded him, all the deviances and
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			the oppression from the spirituality and the false
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			idols and the oppression of the people that
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			you already heard about and the subjugation and
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			everything that we just mentioned.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			And
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			it was in that situation
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			as he increasingly spent more and more time
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			alone and he would go to a place
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			like outside of Mecca to a cave, as
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			I'm sure many of you already know, called
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			Hera.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			And in there, he would spend his days
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			meditating.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			And he'd have some
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			meager subsidies, some food and drink, and when
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			he would run out, he would go back
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			home to Mecca, to the city,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			and stop up to see if his family
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			needed anything, and then he'd return for days
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			at a time.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			I know a lot of people, they know
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			the story or they may have heard details
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			about
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			it. The story about you realize that I'm
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			coming down to initial initial relationship. But before
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			we get to that,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			before we say that story that I'm sure
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			once again a lot of people know, I
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			want us to focus on something else here.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			Another point in the middle of all this,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			before we talk about the physical story of
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			revelation and what exactly happened and you realize
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			that saying recite, I'm not recited, the story
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			that many of us already know.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			Just to contemplate that gravity of of
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			about what's about to happen to him. So
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			I said,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:20
			the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			the creator of the heavens and the earth
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			and everything in between. The creator of being
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			our sustainer, our provider,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			he chose this instance
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			to send you a letter.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			He wanted to say something to mankind.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Have you ever seen those videos where, like,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			they they show the earth and when they
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			zoom out and then how small the earth
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			is and some other planets and then they
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			go to all
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			the stars and and they keep going till,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			like, you you really don't follow anymore, but
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			the point is they're really small.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			Who's seen that
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			video?
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			So we're not that significant, right, in the
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			universe.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not harm
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			or benefited by any of us
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			or any in your own existence, by its
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			righteousness or its wickedness or its obedience or
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			disobedience. It's irrelevant to his in terms of
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			how he gets benefited or harmed. What he
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			gains or loses Islam,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			but he chose that instance to send us
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			a letter nonetheless.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			You're on your way home a couple hours
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			and you're driving with your family, and you're
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			pulling up into your driveway,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			and you're asking the family or whoever you're
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			hanging with or compliment to yourself.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			I'm on the time itself tonight, and the
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			food was okay. The speakers are pretty good
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			except that one guy.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			And
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			as you walk to your doorstep,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			you eventually check the mail.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			And it is, you know, caught Edison. I'll
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			turn off the heat. It's April. And then
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			there's IRS, how they keep finding me. And
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			then there's a letter
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			addressed from
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			the Queen of England.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			And it's probably fake. It often is. Right?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			She doesn't write to me anymore. But the
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			idea
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			is it is addressed from the Queen of
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			England to your name.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			Even if you know what it's being, how
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:13
			would you feel?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			You just wonder what why would someone use
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			her name? If it is real, you have
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			a seal and, you know, whatever way they
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			can tell us from the Queen of England
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			and Malorie Sher.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			If it is real, how would you feel?
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			Subhanahu
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			wa ta'ala, that I care for you,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			that I want you to be okay
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			in a meeting and in an intention more
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			than any human being can ever muster or
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			think of or mean or do, that he
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			wants to have time to say, I want
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			to advise you
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			that the way you're doing it as a
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			whole, as a humanity, is not right. It's
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			not okay. You will not be fine. And
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			I want nothing more than you to be
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			fine,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			to be okay,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			that you're seeking happiness and comfort in this
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			world and you're not heading down the right
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			path, and I'll tell you what that is
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			because I know it better than anyone. I'm
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			the only one who knows it, right?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			That you wanted to tell us you're seeking
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			food and drink and shelter, and I'm going
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			to tell you where that could be found
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			greater than anyone else.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			That everything you wanted is here and so
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			much more.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			That there are people out there that don't
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			mean the best for you.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			That they're hotter you day and night, and
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			I'll tell you how to be safe.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			That more than anything, I'll tell you how
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			to fill that hole in your heart
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			to follow that road that the end of
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:17
			it is
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			what we find the end of it.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			Thank you for me.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			More than anything, does anyone want anything else?
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			Is it that our own way?
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			Is it that the fundamental
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			This is what you've been looking for, and
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			I've sent plenty of others.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			And I've done so much already
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			that this is just one more, an extra
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			one. So you can make sure to find
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			a way so that you can complete that
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			mission, so you can fulfill and be content
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			and be happy. Even though once again he
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			is not a bit, he benefits
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:07
			nothing whatsoever.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			And if this wasn't achieved in the entirety
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			of us said, no. No. Thank you. I'm
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			not interested. You will not be harmed in
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:14
			the least.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			So it was in that moment in Ramadan
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			while the prophet was in solitude,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			the most merciful,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			the most benevolent, the most lovely, the most
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			compassionate,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			he chose to
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			send the best of angels, Jibreel Aesir, our
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			angel Gabriel,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			to come down in the best of months,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			in the month of Ramadan,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			the 9th month of the Islamic calendar, holy
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:52
			month,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			in on the best of nights, lay it
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			to Braddah, the best night of Ramadan,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			in the best of lands in Mecca, the
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			holiest of places as Allah, the most sacred,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			made savior.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			To the best of people, the prophet Muhammad
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the most honest, the most
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			sincere,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			the leader of the prophets.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			And to relate it to him and reveal
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			to him the best of words,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			the best of our relation, the word of
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			Allah Subhanahu Alaihi God for Quran, the best
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			of our relation, the word of Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			wa ta'ala, the Quran, the noble recitation and
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			revelation from Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:27
			wa
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:28
			ta'ala.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			And once again, the purpose of that was
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			the well-being of
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			humanity, was everything that we're seeking and more.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			What's what's their own time inshallah? Does someone
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			throw something?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:49
			So
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			once again, the intention behind this was the
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			holding of humanity. That's why we told
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:57
			us
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			that there when there comes from you from
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			me to you guidance,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			then whoever follows that guidance, then he will
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			never or she will never go astray be
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			misguided
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			or suffer any wickedness.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			Another
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			verse is
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			that will naturally go far. Anyone who turns
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			away as Allah
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			Subhanahu
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32
			says,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			whoever
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			turns away from our relation and then I'm
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			a lonely life,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			a depressive life. It won't be fulfilled.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			They won't find the purpose. Those questions won't
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			be answered.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			They will not be fulfilled here or in
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			the hereafter. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wishes
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			it for nothing more than for us to
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			be fulfilled in both worlds. So
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			this is where we come to the story
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			that once again most people know that he,
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			salal alayhi, was in solitude
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			contemplating the creation of heavens and the earth,
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			the purpose of existence.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			These questions that nag at every single human
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			being's heart
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			that look at their conscience that need to
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			be answered for life to be fulfilled.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			And in the middle of that, he used
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			to come up with his wife, and
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:17
			they're
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			the angel Gabriel, and he came to him
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			with this revelation that we know.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			The beginning of this revelation of the end.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			And he came to him in the form
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			of a human being,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			and he appeared to him suddenly. So I
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			said, then when you're shocked,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			You didn't hear anyone come up the mountain.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			This is not someone that he knew or
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			seen before.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			And the first thing he told him was
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			what? Recite.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			Recite.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			So he told them he responded. So I
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			said, what?
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			I do not read because Iqra could mean
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			read or recite.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			So he understood
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			it to mean read.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			And he said,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			I did not read. He was illiterate. He
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			was unlevered. So I said that the majority
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			of that society was.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			They did not learn how to read a
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			right. A very small percentage of that society
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			and the world at that time know how
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			to read it right.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			So he saw he saw a sudden then
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			says, I shall tell you the story that
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			he says he was then squeezed by this
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			man,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			hugged by him completely. He jumped on top
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			of me when he squeezed him
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			until I was about to pass out.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			And for the 3rd time, he says, Iqra,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:01
			read.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			And he says, Iqra,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:04
			I
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			may not read.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			So then he recites to him because what
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			he meant was recites, not read.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			He taught that. The origin of the knowledge
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			is
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			He
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			taught man,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			He's giving you this revelation of as
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			a complement of his letter to the rest
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			of mankind, meaning
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			what you were seeking in the first place.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			And as suddenly as he appeared, the man
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:13
			disappeared.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			The end of the first revelation.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			Five short verses
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			that encompasses these meanings that I mentioned and
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			so much more and that's it.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			And as Aisha says, he rushes back to
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			Mecca,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			and
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			his heart was shaking.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			He was uncomfortable. He was afraid. He was
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			confused.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			This isn't what he expected.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			He wasn't seeking to be the messenger of
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			Allah. He wasn't seeking divine inspiration or revelation.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			He was trying to understand the world around
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			him. He was trying to contemplate about that
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			justice. He was trying to
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			find his glory, and he never expected to
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			be the messenger of Allah.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			Parents had passed long ago,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			and his grandfather took care of him and
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			sheltered him for a few years, and he
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			passed as well. And his to go to
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			person for everything that he needed
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			for the last 32 years was the uncle
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:45
			John. He's the one who helped him get
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			married, and he's the one who
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			He's the one who helped him get married,
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			and he's the one who he saw his
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			advice when he wanted to go to business,
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			and so on and so forth. But now
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			with this huge
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:57
			occurrence,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			with this supernatural event, the supernatural fear that
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			he's feeling,
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			Is there anything about being a messenger of
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			Allah? Is there anything about the vision? Is
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			there anything more about
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			other than that? Is the Lord and the
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			creator most generous? It stops there.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			So he rushes back, and he is afraid,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			and he tells her I'm afraid of losing
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			it. That's how it just happened. I'm literally
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			losing my mind. And she tells him something
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			very significant.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			And this is why he went back to
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			me. He went home, so I said, and
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			she tells him, Canada, aloha.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			No way.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			It's not possible that this is not happening,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			that you're losing your mind,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			that you are going crazy,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			that you're afflicted by some spirits or some
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			jinn or something. That's not what's happening. No
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			way. I swear by the law, this is
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			not what it is. And she told him
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			the reason.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			She told him why she was sure so
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			sure that she could've that she swore on
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			it, and she tells him,
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			from Allah will
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			never do that to you. You will never
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			decree this
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			to be
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			the unraveling at your life after 40 years
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			of honesty and trustworthiness
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			and the level it's everyone around me. She
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			says,
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			The truthful, the trustworthy. That was his nickname.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			The truthful, the trustworthy. It wasn't just something
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			on his resume. That's what people called him
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			by.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			So you keep the kind of picture, and
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			you speak the you say the most truthful
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			speech,
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			and you help the needy,
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			and you honor the guests,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			and you are constantly aiding and supporting all
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			forms of good.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			She said nothing about his worship,
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			nothing about fasting or prayer,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			Because the number one even though these things
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			are important and significant,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			the number one indication of righteousness is how
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			we are to other people.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			What do the closest people know about us
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			and how we are,
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			manners are, how we deal with others?
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			The reasons she's not getting her no way
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			that he's losing it. There's no way that
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			this is madness and something else we don't
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			know about yet. But Allah will never do
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			that to you because you demonize the kitchen,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			because you're honest, because you're kind, because you're
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			held together, because you are constantly
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			aiding and supporting all means of good towards
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:34
			others.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			And there's no way that someone like that
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			will be rewarded or see any result for
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			their actions or the way of life except
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			if they do sincerely for their sake.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			So she tells him there's no way and
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			she was the one who suggested
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			that they go to her cousin, Warqa.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			And just as a side point quickly,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			Warakah was
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			a elderly man
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			who was above 80 years old at this
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			time, and he was someone who says the
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			whole like a building for the truth.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			And this was from her wisdom and her
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			intellect as a woman and as a wife
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			that she knew this was something else, that
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			these people couldn't help here. And he, she,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			her, herself
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			not believing these things,
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			rejecting these things as any sound mind would.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			She knew that he had not engaged in
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			these things. He did not believe in them.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			This wasn't his way of life. So there's
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			no way that the
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			answer or the
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			resolution of what he's going through at this
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			time would be in any of those things,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam. So she chose to
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			take him to Barakat al Nafaa. And once
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			again he was a
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			Christian who studied previous scriptures.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			And she said, tell him your story. Say
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			what happened. The same way you told me.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			So he tells Barak Salam
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			about the occurrence in Bahirah, the king of
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			Nahirah.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			This is scripture.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			This is revelation. He's the first one to
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			confirm for him that this is revelation.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			The same revelation that was revealed upon Moses
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			and the previous prophets.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			And these,
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			like the entire Jamaican society,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			with the exception of people like Barqah who
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			you can count on your hands, did not
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			know about revelation.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			They had no concept of Haqah Veda upbringing
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			or the mythology or their legends.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			They didn't believe in these people. They barely
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			knew their names from the other
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			societies and the other groups of people that
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			lived in Iranian. So the names themselves may
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			have been slightly familiar with the stories, the
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			concept of a relation of Jibreel, Islam descending
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			upon people was foreign to them.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			So now this is the first
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			piece of big news, the first confirmation that
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:40
			also gives me that this is a revelation
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			from the same
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			line of revelation that occurred to conference since
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			the beginning of time, but it's not that
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:46
			shocking.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			And it isn't the first thing to drive
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			a reaction from him,
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			The next thing he tells him is more
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			significant to him at that time. He tells
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			him, one of our says,
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			I wish I was young.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			I wish I was a young man. He's
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07
			over 80 years old. The sign is gonna
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			die a few days after this action
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			before even the second revelation,
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			before the commissioning of the prophet Muhammad alaikafa
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			for he's given his mission by Allah
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			He's saying I wish I was young, I
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			wish I could be alive.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			What for?
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			The day that your people kicked him out.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			40 years of a sudden, I mean, the
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			trust truthful, trustworthy. 40 years of exactly what
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			Khadija said and no one denies it even
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			after his prophet, no one denied it, of
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			his enemies. Keeping the fighting pitch and being
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			honest.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			Doing his best to be a benevolent member
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			of society,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			not seeking anything in return,
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			never playing a mission,
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			never preaching,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			just doing his best to be a good
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			human being. Sincerely,
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			helping others
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			and now he's hearing from, I wish I
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			was young and alive and they may kick
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			you out. So when you told him,
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			this was I was too much friends to
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			bear. I'm Muslim.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			They're going to kick me out.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			I won't be cast out of this society.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			I'm going to be exiled from Mecca.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			My birthplace is the birthplace of generations past.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			Nowhere else is home.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			Nowhere else is family. Why would they kick
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			me out after all of this?
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			And he told him, so I said that
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			no man, no messenger has come before with
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			such a mission except your native man.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			This is
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			the way things are done. This is the
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			methodology of Allah
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			This is the test of life.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			Because your ambition, your revelation will be revolutionary
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			and some people don't want to be fixed.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			Some people benefit from the status quo. Some
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			people, their bread and butter is in the
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			oppression and it's literally in the mind is
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			bloodshed.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			And sadly, none of these people are in
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:13
			charge.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			And so that none of these people are
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:17
			in charge. So they will do their best
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:17
			to make sure your mission does not succeed.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			They will turn the others against you. This
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			is the explanation of what he's saying. No
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			man has come. Adam, no mission,
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			no prophet has come with what you're about
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			to come with. There's more coming. He knows
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			from reading the previous scriptures except that you're
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			elating them. And then he says that when
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			he and
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			if
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			I reach that day,
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			if belonging in the length of life, I
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			will give you such support and victory and
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			help. I'll be there for you if I
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			can. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decreed that you
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			will reach that a markadayaafood is after this.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			Please confirm me to the message of Allah.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			This is revelation.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			A mission or revolution to come.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			Difficulties
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			and strife.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			Struggling to make sure it succeeds to fulfill
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			the commands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			are the messenger of Allah. The first mission
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			to tell him that was a Christian. Welcome.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			And the first two support him,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			came from outside, his wife and his her
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			cousin, He himself, Saifed, did not have that
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			confidence. He did not have that support within
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			himself yet. So why is that?
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			And now he is accepting of it,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			and he is
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			willing to take it out, and he wants
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:34
			to hear more. But, also, Fanza does not
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			reveal anything
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:35
			immediately.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			As Aisha says in the beginning of the
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			story, from Qatar Allah, revelation stopped here, and
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			the scholars of history made different. It didn't
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			stop for a few days, a few weeks,
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			or even a few months. But either way,
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			it stopped for a period of time that
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			he did not expect.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			So now he hears
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			you are a messenger of Allah. This is
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			revelation.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			There will be a revolution. You will be
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			cast out. There'll be difficulty.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			And Allah is going to continue revealing to
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			you. And he wants to seek him, but
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:03
			nothing comes.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			And he was distraught by this. He was
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			hurt because he believed all of it was
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			confirmed to him by Warabah, and now nothing
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			more is being revealed. He goes back to
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			haram. There is no angel. There is no
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:16
			man. There is no revelation from Allah subhanahu
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			wa ta'ala. This hurts him.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			Would Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forsake him after
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			now? He believes all of this and assure
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			that this is what it is.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			But there's a lesson here, my dear brothers
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			and sisters in Islam, that is that this
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			revelation, this mission, there's difficulty in it, as
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:31
			Warkaa said.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			It's a long struggle. It's a marathon, not
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:35
			a sprint,
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			and no one can do that except if
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			they are willing. If they actively sincerely seek
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			it for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			ta'ala, no other reason. So he had to
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is developing in him
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			that walk for it, that desire for it.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is gonna say
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			the next revelation in the sununqyaayi
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			raqalat tafilah. We're going to reveal to you
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			a very heavy word, a very heavy speech,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			duties and obligations,
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			struggle, cutting ties that you formed, forming new
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			ones with people that are foreign to you,
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			giving when difficult when giving is difficult,
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			withholding and withholding is difficult.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			No one can take that out. No one
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:12
			can
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			force that among themselves except lovingly and willingly
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			And that's something that you nurture. It doesn't
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			happen overnight. It's not like being flipping a
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			switch or the rest of the
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			body. And it's only done by recognizing who
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is, his benevolence, his
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			mercy, his good
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33
			will, his loving compassion that's not matched by
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:33
			none.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			And only then only then with that perspective
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:40
			do the commands and prohibitions make sense. Can
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			they be taken willingly? Can they be upheld
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			with love and sincerity to take the loss
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			from the Taliban?
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			So some time passes,
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			and there's also mentioned in narration that every
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			time you would go there and not find
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			the angel, you feel sad, but then you
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			hear a voice telling him, you are the
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			messenger of Allah, and I am Gabriel the
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			Archangel just as Muhammad told you.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			And then one of those days when he
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			was going to the mountain, seeking this revelation,
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			he hears the voice of Allah to, yeah,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			Muhammad. Oh, Muhammad
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			And he says, I looked up. I looked
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			to my right and to my left, and
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16
			I saw
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:17
			nothing.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			And behind me, and there was nothing.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			And in front of me, there was nothing.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			And he hears the voice again. They are
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			Mohammed, so now he thinks to look up,
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44
			And so he ran home saying he's a
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			man once again to Khadija, to his wife
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			and his number one support system,
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			and the place where he found confidence when
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			he couldn't find it himself, sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			sallam, with his wife Khadija, And she covered
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			him. She protected him, and there the revelation
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			came to him.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			Oh, you who is covered up in garments,
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			stand up and warn. Begin this mission.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			Get out of your comfort zone. There is
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			no time to rest. And from then on,
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			you weren't rested until I saw until the
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			end of his life.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			Making sure that this message reached the young
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:16
			and the old,
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			the Arab and the non Arab, the rich
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20
			and the poor, the free and the slave.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			And when people would tell him to rest
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			like his wife, Khadija, he would tell her
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			the time for sleep has
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			passed. He's no longer
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			he is now confident self confident in his
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			mission. He knows this is revelation and the
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			miracles to follow, the struggles to follow as
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38
			we hear, inshallah, over the next few lectures.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			There's more to say
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			and the period of doubt began secretly and
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			then in public. But of course, this is
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			just brief. Hopefully, we can take to heart
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:48
			some of these lessons. Can be encouraged at
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			least to read this story in full length
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			with a sincere open heart and open mind.
