Divine Parables #14 The Sahabah In The Torah & Evangel 48-29

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

community.

community.
