And today will be somewhat,
related or building on yesterday's reminder
regarding the wives of the Prophet salallahu alayhi
wasalam and the standard Allah
wanted and did see them at and want
them to be.
And this
parable is about
the perfect
community of the sahabah
radhiallahu anhu. The companions of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. It was not a community
of prophets, it was a community
that was raised at the hand of the
prophet
And so the most perfect prophet produced the
most perfect community
in the history of humanity.
This is the idea.
And I actually have to set the stage
by mentioning that the Sahaba
suffered so much in the early years in
Mecca. Persecution, and then eventually being driven out
of their homeland to Madinah.
War after war is launched against them. They
finally develop some leverage,
and they march to Mecca to perform umrah.
They are despite having the strength,
they were committed to a deal by the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam that we're not gonna
fight and we're not gonna perform umrah this
year. And they felt also taken advantage of
by the kuffar that you're not allowed to
make umrah and you're not allowed to have
the Muslims that become Muslim in Mecca. You
can't have them either, and you have to
take off your ihram, and they were devastated.
The narration clearly mentions that they were sobbing
and almost
cut each other, slaughtered each other while they
were shaving their heads because they had to
interrupt their umrah.
In light of all of this, Allah reveals
Surah Al Fatiha.
The surah of victory. They saw that such
a loss, Allah is telling you you just
wait. This is a huge victory.
And then the last verse of the surah
celebrates the sahabah in a way that
arguably surpasses every other way in the whole
Quran.
Allah
says, Muhammadun
Rasulullah. This is the ayah. Muhammad is the
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And
this is already a special ayah because one
of the few places where he's mentioned by
name, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So this declaration,
this celebratory
declaration, Muhammad is the messenger of God, salallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
Then it couples with him what,
and those with him, it's about to describe
them at such length.
And those with him,
They're not scared. They're not weak. They are
fierce in the face of the disbelievers.
Of course the Muslim is friendly, and he's
supposed to be gentle, and he's supposed to
be easy to be made friends with. But
meaning fierce with those who are fierce with
them.
Right?
Fierce with the kuffar, these believers.
Compassionate,
protective
amongst each other. They were devastated that their
brothers are left there to the persecutors, but
they had to,
at least temporarily.
Allah is celebrating. They're so merciful among each
other.
Listen.
And you find them constantly bowing, constantly kneeling
in prostration,
seeking pleasure from Allah, his pleasure, and his
bounty.
So he praise them inside
and out, outwardly prostrating and bowing, and inside
sincere sincerity.
He praise them inside and out.
Then he says
This is their description
in the meaning
1000 of years before I even created the
the I was telling people about them. Can
you imagine the feeling to to hear that?
And by the way, why was this particular
description of them in the tawra? Because the
people of the tawra fell into a lack
of sincerity.
The A lack of soft heartedness.
It was the problem was their spirituality
and their purity and their sincerity, and so
at the end of time, I'm gonna send
the greatest prophet and you're gonna see what
their hearts look like. You're gonna see what
their sincerity and purity looks like. It matches
what the people of the tawra needed to
hear.
Then it goes on into the actual parable.
I'm going to Don't worry. I'm going to
rush through it. He says,
and their example in the next book, the
evangel, The book that Allah sent to Isa
alaihis salam.
So Jesus peace be upon him.
Is like a plant that begins to sprout
from the ground.
And
then there emerges
around it
different like twigs. You know how a tree
has a root and then sometimes others sort
of intertwine and strengthen it, or you have
like those small plants that you have to
tie strings to until they're ready to stand
on their own.
A plant that is supported with little twigs
from all sides.
And this is What is this saying?
That
even the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, you
He didn't just benefit you, he benefited from
you. You even were able to support the
prophet of God.
Like you know the
is like the shore. It's where where you're
close to the sea.
So means there's a stem and you got
very close to the prophet
and you supported him from all sides.
And so it it got strengthened.
Islam that the prophet was building for in
the world strengthened. Why? Because of this intertwinedness.
And subhanAllah, the hadith says what? It says
the example of the believers,
is like a single building.
And he put his fingers together like this
hadith. So it's saying it's like that. Right?
They're they're like this.
And it strengthened that stem.
And so it was able to grow healthy
on its own now.
And it became independent on its stock.
You're a in
a way that impresses
every farmer.
You know, the the farmer waits for the
day when, okay, finally.
Autopilot. Finally, it's not gonna topple over. Finally,
not a little bit of drizzle is gonna
ruin my whole season. Right? You are a
jibuzzo, and I told you before that faith
is visible. Faith can be seen.
I had
4 brothers, good brothers, came today and visited
me, and they were telling me
that
the fact that Muslims pray and we don't
makes me want to look into Islam.
I could just you guys just always praying
everywhere. You stop on a dime, you pull
over, you guys pray. Right?
And the way that you guys are together
you know, when I go to church he
said, I went to church this morning. That's
what he said to me, the good brother.
He said, but when I go, I feel
like
they're not there for each other. They're there
for themselves. It's like self promotion.
You know?
SubhanAllah. And that was Remember this is their
example in what in what Tell me quickly.
Make me a happy man.
This is their example in the injil, in
the evangel. You see the problem with the
people of Tara was a lack of sincerity.
Right? Hardheartedness.
And this one was a lack of unity.
But the same way
I'm gonna have to stop here. Ibn Taymiyrahima
Allah, he says, Allah sent Musa, alayhis salam,
with the jalal. He sent him with the
mighty law of God. And then he sent
Isa alayhi wasalam to call the world to
what? To the jamal, to the harmony and
beauty that God calls to. And then he
sent Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam with the camel,
with the total package.
And he succeeded at instilling that total package
in the sahaba Sahaba
That is why no one will ever reach
as a community the status of the Sahaba,
though we are always supposed to stretch ourselves
to reach up towards the direction of that
community.
