00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			In a hungry guy
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			he was
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			made
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			in a washing
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			machine he was
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			Yeah, you
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			know, yeah, you can ask
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			me who am I?
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			Kathy are on manisa What's up a lot of money
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			in a lot I cannot equal a fever. Yeah you
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			can either use
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			or may use it are in our suit.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:05
			All Praise be to Allah, we thank him and we seek His help and his guidance and his pleasure and his
forgiveness.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:34
			And we turn to Allah for protection from the evil whispers within us and from the consequences of
our evil deeds. For overall love guides learn to lead a street and remember a lot leaves the street
and can guide. And we testify that none is worthy of our worship and our devotion, and our obedience
of love. But the law, the law alone without any partners, the true supreme King, and the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was undoubtedly His Prophet, and his service and His Messenger.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:55
			O you have embraced faith, or you have believed the law says have the double off a lot in your life
at all times, to the extent that you can muster as best as you possibly can, and do not die Do not
leave this life executive state of complete and total surrender to a law state of Islam.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			To begin after welcoming my brothers and sisters once again.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			So I was favor over us of being in his house.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:15
			We began two weeks ago our discussion, our visiting or revisiting why we believe in Him on His auto
setup.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			And we said that why we believe in Him,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:31
			does not necessarily mean that we are adapting our belief in him whatsoever, to a setup. But it's
more about recognizing
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:58
			that the belief in Him is not something that is inherently born inherited. in sight of you naturally
present the same way believing in Gods For example, to believe a particular human being was the
prophet of God, you may have inherited that by who you associate with your family members, your
relatives, your circle that you grew up with. But that type of
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			inheritance is very easily taken away from a person
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:20
			as opposed to someone seeing it for themselves being convinced of it personally, this statement
seeing and believing has a degree of truth to us as Muslims. In fact, it's been reported that our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			ladies at work and while the one being told is not like the one see.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:36
			And the one being told about the fact is also not like someone who sees the fact himself.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:04:20
			And also we are talking about this subject because we believe that although we believe in the
prophets of Allah, while they do sell them, we have to continually climb upwards in our beliefs.
Because there are so many factors around us that will continually work downwards against our belief,
that belief could be eroded could be eaten away, like rust eats away at metal, that can't happen.
And because a person even though they have enough, don't mean to be Muslim, meaning to act on what
they believe that's what you need to be missing. That's it. If you're acting on it, that means you
believe in it. But that does not mean that the outward climb, and being totally stilled in where you
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:34
			are inside of your faith has been reached yet. You have been itself has levels being positive, even
being positive as levels. And that's why I brought him on he sought to sit down. He said that I'll
be editing the case.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:05:00
			He was not waiting to become Muslim. He was a Muslim that was devoted, dedicated practicing. And
then he asked a lot of humility without demanding No one is allowed to demand anything of Allah. But
he was asking Oh a lot Can you take me to another level? Can you show me how you get right through
the day. All the LLM took me and he said Don't you believe you have enough
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:19
			Fake, the proof is in your life to begin with, though he says, But of course, I believe one that can
only apply enough I will do what I want. I'm looking for the stillness of my heart, to stop to be
untouchable to be unfeasible just to be beyond curiosity anymore.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:39
			And so a lot of children, you can see is believing. And so we want to see the facts that we've
inherited, for the most part for most of us about the Prophet Alex photos and why we believe in him.
So they are not eroded so that they are not weak, so they are not subject to attack.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			And we sent out the first proofs of his profits, which
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			was how suddenly overnight overnight,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:05
			he did not perfect an art of those before him that he had access to. It all came out of nowhere. And
that's why some of the simplest facts of problems often brought to the world that were common
knowledge to a different time in a different place, like the stories have been.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			They said, no one would know this little profit. How did you know the story of
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:52
			when goodgym and probably 11, then a lot of us had I not told you this, you would know what he would
have known of living in Arabia isolated by desert. And that's why those that hear from him say How
did he know that story? That story is only in another part of the world in Jerusalem only 600 years
ago, I didn't get read, covered uncovered. So the suddenness on so many levels through this profit
center, and we discussed and we discussed a little bit about how this character how the previous
scriptures are told clearly that something was going to happen in this part of the world, from the
children of his Mary, our great nation, the gap have been built exams are being done all of this not
		
00:06:52 --> 00:07:33
			for a small event. Everything was leading, including the scriptures, something big was about to
happen in Mecca, and everyone knew it. And they recognize they recognize their own children. That
was the second proof that they're in proof is the actual character of the Prophet alayhi salatu was
set up his reputation of honesty, his valor, and his bravery was not that of a liar or a coward or
anything of that sort. him having no motives, having his public and private life, so simple. so down
to earth, even at the height of his power. He's optimism, he's not really losing hope, even if the
key all of that leads to one thing, and he was certain about faith.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:49
			And thus, he was able to convey it relate to so many others put it in so many people. They saw it
from his character, that this was not something that he was acting or pretending or even something
he believed what wasn't really sure about.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:09
			He was so consistent than that. This third group we want to discuss today. And I only rehearsed for
a little bit 234 minutes to speak two weeks is a look at his message I thought was his message,
analyzing his message proves his prophethood
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:36
			you know, any human being can be tried to be really creative and think of philosophy like life is
trying to live His suffering, it's all a test, try your best, be nice, and put together some general
values. When you think about how the Prophet alayhi salatu salam presents proposes to the world a
message that is so Shannon, right, so comprehensive covering everything.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:51
			And we will give some examples in a minute. And then at the same time, all those wide parts are done
so right like they're synchronized, they harmonize in a way they fit perfectly together.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:09:09
			And then there's so much detail, you know, how they see it in English, the devil lies in the
details. Like, yeah, sure, it looks nice on face value, but you did just an injury to down. Oh,
there's something clearly wrong here. It's filled with contradictions. Alonzo just says
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			that the fact that there are none is proof that it's from Allah.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			F and I
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:59
			don't think reflect over the message of the Quran. If it was from anyone but Allah, you would have
found so many inconsistency, so many contradictions, so much conflict in it. How do you have a book
that 6200 plus verses long, and they all reinforce each other and parts of it resemble one another,
and you're doing it over the span of 23 years? This is also an issue. Some people don't realize the
power of the wisdom of the brand's message being revealed over 23 years.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:49
			A lot of Silla Genesis, and the disbelievers say that when Xena hasn't put up Joomla they say Why
did you come down all at once of the wisdoms why it came down all at once. Can you imagine a person
who tries to write a message or thesis research in his bachelor's undergraduate level. And then when
he comes back and writes another one and his master's level, and then writes, Louise is writing the
second PhD like 20 years later, 25 years later, when you compare all of that would see this same
person. This is the same message, this is the same author, this is the same writer impossible. The
Prophet alayhi salatu wa sallam, he had a message, he would recite something out to people, those
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:57
			people will hear that or add and go back to their country and never come back to them for as long as
they live. They find out later on that he died.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:39
			So he couldn't retract and refine and editing spoken word is so much harder than written word and
deleted edits. So that's a part of his message. And then look, look, look at the content of his
message. He is the only person that ever came to the world with such a pure message of delete a
message as logical, a message that is clear, a message that is firm, unwavering one God, no
partners, Creator of the heavens and the earth, everything comes from him, and everything returns to
him. He doesn't need any one or anything for any moment. And every one of everything needs him at
every moment. crystal clear.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:12:00
			What has he said be the other Oh, you know, love say this is my path. He's declared it from I call
to a law. And then even when events would come to life, as we mentioned, or may have mentioned
before, our Prophet alayhi salatu salam, he lost his son Ibrahim, as a two year old when he died in
front of the audience.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:11
			It just so happened that the whole Zoo or the coup took place in Eclipse a solar eclipse took place
on the day Marlene died.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:13:00
			And you think you know, this is a very convenient coincidence, that if you want to promote yourself,
not God, your message really wasn't God. This is like perfect timing. This is like a strike of luck
or fortune, as they say. All those heavens are upset because of where he died. He didn't even have
to say it was so obvious that his understanding was people started saying to the degree that your
profit is level seven has to be given on the new book, though he's going through the difficulties of
losing a child, though he's not the one who said it himself, and clarifies it. Why are people see X,
Y and Z? He says in the shadow of it. And even if it left him you hope before he
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			left laughs He finally you know what?
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			He said, the sun and the moon are two of the signs of God
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:29
			that have an effect on them to have the signs of God, that he strikes fear. It's a display of his
power, strikes fear and his slaves using them. They do not Eclipse for the death or the life of
anyone. So when you see them getting up and break,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:34
			get up and show your brokenness to God, show your submission to God.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:21
			All we had to do is be silent. But his message was that clear. And then he comes with, with a belief
on further on faith and this theory that everything is in our hands. And aside from the benefit of
that the psychological benefit of that the clarity of everything is in God's hands. And then he
chose to give you a bit of the choice but it's still his because he can cancel whenever he wants.
And so within that choice, that small bit of free will, he will hold you accountable. And then he
teaches the Muslims five daily prayers. And the genius in this is beyond the ultimate. You know the
same way you cannot some people look at five prayers a bit too much. And at times. He's a bit
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:46
			strict. But he knew from Allah. A wad told him make sure they take prayer times very seriously.
Because the same way you cannot all bundle up your meals, your lunch and your dinner at the end of
the week, you'll die before it happens. You cannot bundle up your interview date, you will fall
apart before it happens. He knew exactly what the human being needed. And then he gave you a month
in the year
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:59
			to regulate yourself. Remind yourself behind those laws always watching even if the people aren't
and to practice a little bit of self restraint. And then this message goes one step further. It
talks about and talks about hedge
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:12
			A reminder of the hereafter when people come from every direction, all the same, to stand in front
of the same God, who kinda will die. And then from the genius of his message, by the way, he said he
left the room for the human mind.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:45
			You know, it's not just what he taught it so close to them that it's such a proof of his
prophethood. It's the things he refuse to talk about. Because how many religions how many
philosophers no one can we could not 50 years ago, imagine what's happening now correct? hat, if you
will try to send a tight tight rule for 1500 years from now he will totally fail, because you have
no idea what 1600 years ago is gonna look like years from now look like his message even had that
flexibility to last and to survive, and that's why survive.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:16:24
			And then this will come down to human hygiene and clipping your nails and went to be and practicing
medicine and that medicine is not magic, which most or so much of the world believe that medicine
was just horrible superstition commits. And he said no. And that's why the very first medical exams
were done in Baba dead by the Muslims. Because hundreds of years before that our province often
didn't ever practice medicine without being skilled, whoever practices, whatever you did before,
hold on, he's liable. Meaning you can't doing it. He knew that medicine was a system that is to be
mastered. And he
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:29
			said, Man, so follow me that and he lines up
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:12
			with Jay Leno, I love to not sit down to disease, except that he says for the Cure, there's a cure
for everything. They'll walk away from patients keep trying. He said whether you know it or you
don't, but he did send it. And that's why the medical Renaissance began, you know, in the Crusaders
came back in the 11th century, for 100 years after the province on the right in their books. And the
records I can give you that they brought home 400 years later, beautiful custom to Northern Europe.
And that was the Turkish back 30. Celtic Turks, they were the Muslims in charge, they brought back
the back, they will not be they will not wash it, they will put them on clothes and keep them until
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:19
			they ripped off. That's why they love that the plague would take care of time and time again. This
was also learned from the Muslims.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:30
			All of this message, you know, by the way, even the study of human history was preserved. These are
not my words was preserved by the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad Ali's.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			You know, there's a professor at Yale University. His name is
		
00:17:36 --> 00:18:14
			Rosenthal, Professor Rosenthal, he writes a book, books and numerous books on the fact that the
world had given up on history. But there's no way to know what happened in the past and stop trying
to investigate the world history. Let's stop trying to understand how people were for us live and
what their mistakes were and how to make tomorrow better than yesterday. He said, and this was only
saved by Muslim culture. Because the Muslims believed strongly enough through therefore, that they
had an accurate starting points for history. We had some general information, we had accurate
stories of the prophets, accurate facts here and there. And so it gave people enough interest that
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:33
			it's possible and they build from there, they build on that. So even history, even the existence of
Europe was based on the message of our Prophet alayhi salatu salam who could not read nor write, nor
saw Europe nor could imagine it. Hundreds and hundreds of years before that. He was sent out via
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:37
			Hungary does
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			also have the books of prophecy, of the proofs of prophethood
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			are his accomplishments.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:28
			As he promised you head on over idk coolly as Allah promised to make evidence clear over all
religions, all faiths? What was the accomplishment of our Prophet alayhi salatu salam, who we're
looking at. And I wish to remind our brothers and sisters always that playing with your phone in
Joomla will invalidate their own individual when he was speaking, it is your duty to try your best
to find something of benefit to extract from his words to benefit you for your week and beyond.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:49
			And the Prophet alayhi salatu wa sallam said men less than house off of level whomever keeps playing
with the pebbles that supposedly was pebbles. That day and age, whoever has participated in items
speech meaning he has rendered his jumada award that was dumb or useless, even if it's valid, valid
with no reward from it, no fruits.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:59
			And so what was the accomplishment of our Prophet Mohammed Ali salado. So if you think about it
correctly, there was no one accomplishment. You can pick
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:12
			Like he was not a great generalized auto select only because they were great generals in history. He
was not just a founder of religion, only the people that are founded religions, very few, but
they've got it.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:35
			He was not someone who's just a source of inspiration for inspiration for so many people because of
one event in his life. Like the crucifixion, Christianity, that's the one seed that defines the
whole religion. That wasn't it. In reality, what made the Prophet Alex autosens accomplishments, so
special was that he was all of this in one manner.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:50
			That is what is different. And we should always keep mindful of that, because so many non Muslims
have kept mindfulness, you know, in the book that Muslims love to go the 100 greatness by Michael
Hart.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:21:38
			To keep it very brief, his explanation is what he was trying to chart, the 100 greatest, most
impactful people in human history, influence whether you like them or not, it's not in this
discussion. How much effect have they had? Number one out of the 100, he said was Muhammad Ali's
love was set up. But why? He said, I know because it's politicized, politically, you know, contented
with its bad press, it doesn't follow the foreign policies of our country. He's an American story.
He says, I know a lot of people are gonna get upset at me for picking him up. But the issue is, he
was the only person that was supremely successful on the religious and the secular political level.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			I couldn't find anyone else in human history that was able to do that.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:22:22
			Jesus Christ was successful religiously, right? But he was fought off by the people and he couldn't
hold his ground. According to the Christian tradition, he was killed. Isaac Newton was extremely
successful. He's number two, Jesus, three of these guys was on the second of their level,
inventions, wise, great influence, everyone's dependent on him on his discoveries today, but on a
religious level, people do not consider him a resource or source a legitimate source to inform their
religious views. You know, another friendship story. He says, it's not just what he accomplished, he
said if you look at what he tried to do, he tried to
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:41
			control if you will address have a C guide every single aspect of a human beings life. He said that
you mungus goal he has. And then you look at what kind of resources the means. He says those are the
two ways to measure greatness. Can we really say any man is greater than
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			this is a fundamental martines statement.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:54
			A man by Draper says this is a person JW Draper was a future story and hearing the words.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:59
			He said that in 569, a man named Mohammed was born.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:18
			He says who has influenced exercise the greatest amount of influence on the human race ever. And it
just might These are his words, it just might entitle him to, to the title, it just may justify the
title, a messenger of God.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:59
			setup. These are people who understand how to compare and accomplishments of people. The last of
them also another man, his name was Bosworth Smith and forgive me for going through so much abuse in
a hotel. But it's important for you to know how easy it is to recognize there's something unique
here. He said, this is the only person he says by a fortune false wordsmith says, by a fortune
absolutely unique in human history, no one's ever done this. He was the founder of a state, a
country, and then Empire, all the countries went under him and their religion in one person. He said
he was the Pope. without all the formalities of the boat. You don't have to go through a million
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:04
			hoops to get to him. And he was Caesar. He was the king of Rome without the armies of Caesar.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:18
			He said, None of this makes sense. This was your rock without a software setup. How does someone
accomplish all of it together in a 23 year life?
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:28
			And it wasn't just not just that our prophet SAW send him off his accomplishments was that he was
the most loved man
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			in all of human history.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			You know, one time they were they were debating with the famous accuracy that
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			they said to him, no one is loved more than Jesus, 2 billion people
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			loving Jesus Christ.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:56
			He said you have 2 billion people that profess the love of Jesus, where we have 1.5 billion people
that practice the love of God is
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			what is you moving the shepherd and soul All right.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:16
			Are you not giving precedence to his loving his guidance, his lifestyle, his ways over anybody
else's? Why do we use them sometimes put up with being looked at weird for dressing a certain way or
growing a certain beard or otherwise it's out of our love.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:39
			We don't care if it's consistent with culture, across time and space sometimes because we love him
that much. Nobody has ever been loved by him. And if you realize the love of the companions becomes
even clearer, taking arrow after arrow in their backs becoming paralyzed without hesitation being
informed their family members have died. They say no worries Mohammed Ali's auto setup
		
00:25:40 --> 00:26:21
			that was obviously accomplishments and of his accomplishments. And with that I close and we move on
to his prophecies the things that no one could have ever known that he spoke day in and day out and
they unfolded exactly as he said them in detail without ever messing up without ever being mistaken.
His prediction is levels that up that will be for our next one chocolate. But let me say the last
thing his accomplishments is that he accomplished all of this. So it wasn't just a message that was
theory that was advanced, beautiful, so impressive, but he couldn't define our profit at his level
celeb he revolutionized the human race in just one generation.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:28
			Who do you know, takes a whole society from alcoholism, and overnight, it's gone.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:34
			In this country, 100 years ago, we tried this and we failed.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:45
			The laws that tried to abolish drinking failed. And so they tried to put lighter laws, because they
couldn't they weren't able to shut down the industry. He shut it down in one generation
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:27
			who do you know has ever been able to remove racism from society? He did it in one generation who do
