AI: Summary ©
The importance of following guidance and following laws is emphasized in Islam. The safe and secure workplace for people to live in is discussed, along with the use of " Safety and Security" to describe the safety and security of the workplace. The "naive" idea is also discussed, with the potential for false tokenization and false proof of actions. The importance of purifying houses and preparing for worshippers is also emphasized. The potential for a metaphorical purification and false proof of actions is also discussed, along with the ruku and suheelow used as evidence of the church's actions.AI: Transcript ©
And then after contacting
professor John
to destroy Mecca.
He wants to destroy Mecca, this criminal.
No.
This is Mecca.
You cannot destroy it.
Follow them with right guidance until the day
of judgement. Ameen.
Glory be to you, o Allah. No knowledge
have we accept that which you have taught
us. Indeed, you are the all knowing, the
all wise. My dear brothers and sisters, Assalamu
alaikum
hope you are all doing excellent on this
fine night.
We continue with the tafsir of Surah Al
Baqarah
and we got to the part
where Allah
is telling us about
his house.
Just after
the verse where Allah told us about how
he tested Ibrahim alayhis salam.
The whole verse about testing Ibrahim alayhis salam,
and it ended with
the saying of Allah
And we discussed that
in detail in the last,
tafsir class
mentioning
most importantly
that
the ahad of Allah
the covenant of Allah
does not include
and cannot
be with
the Ra'il i'min.
And, ultimately,
I find one of the best ways to
conclude
that ayah is the other ayah where Allah
told us.
So those who are most deserving of Ibrahim
alayhi salaam,
again, a response
to the fact that the covenant of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala
was with Ibrahim alaihi salaam.
And when he asked that
Allah made
imams
from his descendants, Allah
response was
In this ayah,
those who are most deserving,
Ibrahim, those who are most deserving of Ibrahim,
most worthy of Ibrahim alaihis salam are
those who follow him.
And this prophet, meaning the prophet
and those who are the believers, the followers
of Muhammad These
are the ones who are worthy of Ibrahim
alaihis salam.
Not everyone else
that claims
some kind of a connection
to Ibrahim alaihis salam just because they are
his descendants.
That's not what it's about. We are descendants
of Ibrahim
That's not what it's about. It's about following.
It's about obedience.
It's about
respecting
the covenant,
not violating it.
And we discussed this in quite some detail
last time.
In the next ayah, Allah
tells us,
Allah
tells us
and
remember when Allah or
when we made a reference to Allah, when
we made the house.
We will
talk about this.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is now talking about
the house.
Which house is this?
Is it any house other than the house
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
Is there any place that we can call
the house?
The house meaning the most important house.
The house of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And
this is none other than Al Kaaba and
Al Masjid Al Haram. So he called it
Al Bayt.
He didn't need to call it Baytullah.
He said Al Bayt.
The house.
Arabic
Arabic
speakers, raise your hand.
People are looking behind them.
Arabic speakers.
Yes.
The meaning of
Yes, brother? Jazza. Jazza.
That is tawab.
Yes?
To return.
So here
and remember when we made the house
a place of return.
A place of return for the people.
And then you look at the tafsir, the
sahaba, and the tabi'een. What did they say
about this?
Ibn Abbas and Mujahid
and others
said that this is a place of return
for the people,
meaning
that they go to it and then
they return to their families and then they
want to come back again.
And they do not get satisfied
of it.
So no matter how much time they spend,
they are not satisfied. They wanna spend more.
So they go
and they would like to go again, subhanak
you Arab. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made it
such.
Allah gave it this characteristic.
And what other place
can we say this about? Can we say
this about some,
destinations of tourism today?
Not like
that. Keep going back and forth, back You
go to a place, you see you've seen
it. Halas, I went there. I've seen it.
But they wanna keep going back. Even though
technically,
is Makkah a place of
tourism?
Are there these great amazing
places where you can go and great scenery
and stuff?
Ibrahim Alaihi Salam said it.
It's a valley without vegetation.
Subhanakir Abba. It is Makkah.
This is Makkah.
This is the best place on earth.
The most beloved place to Allah
And yet
people so someone might wonder, why do these
Muslims keep going back and forth between Mecca?
Allah made it that way.
Allah made the love of Mecca in their
hearts.
And we may also
quote
the dua of Ibrahim Alaihi Salam
because he made that dua
when he placed
Hajar.
Right?
And,
Ismael
there
by the command of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and he was worried about them and there
was no one at the time. It's an
empty place. There's nothing there.
To the extent that she called on Ibrahim
alayhis salam, where are you going? Where are
you leaving us?
And then she understood and she said, did
Allah command you to place us here? He
said, yes.
He said, then
Allah will not
forsake us.
Allah will take care of us. SubhanAllah.
So
he did that and then he made the
dua. Oh Allah,
make the hearts of people
be attracted towards them.
And grant
the people of this place of the Tamarat.
So he made that du'a and Allah
responded to the du'a
And he made it a place of return
and a place where, subhanAllah,
people
never seem to completely be satisfied,
and they keep wanting to go back. And
there are people
there are people
who continue to try to go even though
it is difficult for them,
even though
it may be costly,
but you find people just trying to collect
money from here and there, just
to try to go and do umrah or
maybe a hajj after another. May Allah
grant us
to visit it over and over.
What is amin?
Security.
Safety and security.
Allah
gave it that security,
gave it that safety.
We may say
for the purpose of people
to keep going
and visiting his house because it is his
house.
So it must be safe
and it must be secure. So Allah
gave it that characteristic as well.
Safety and security.
It's a it's a safe place where people
can go and feel safe and feel secure
as they should.
And
we see this.
And that's why some of the mufassireen
commented on this
at a time
where people did not enjoy safety
and did not enjoy security.
So
one of them said
that,
they would look around them and see all
of the other places.
People are just being picked up, killed here,
left and right. There was no safety or
security.
Just like the saying of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Have they not seen that we have made
it as a safe sanctuary?
And people are just being
picked up,
taken here and there.
There wasn't that safety,
but Makkah was safe.
The Haram was safe
for the house of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Abdul Rahman ibn Zaid ibn Islam
interestingly says,
a person may see
the murder
of his father
or his brother
at the Ka'bah,
and he cannot do anything.
And he will not do anything. And this
is inal jahiliyah, brothers and sisters.
This is not now,
where everyone is afraid of the laws.
Nowadays, it's the laws that keep people in
check. Right?
It's not that we have progressed
after
1,000 and 1,000 of years and now we
are so civil. No. We see it. Once
there's a blackout, no electricity,
no laws,
no fear of punishment or police,
then you see what people are really like.
You see the looting and the stealing and
the theft
and
the sabotage.
Then,
this is Jahiliyyah.
And yet,
he is right there in front of the
Kaaba, his father's murderer.
He will not touch him because they understood.
This is a place that is Haram. Haram
meaning
it is inviolate.
You cannot violate it. It's a safe sanctuary.
SubhanAllah, if
the pagans respected this
even before the Muslims,
This is the way it was known. This
is Makkah.
Haram an Aminan wa'jalalbayta
mathabatal linasi wa amna. And this is how
imam Mujahid understood amna,
that Allah made it haram,
made it a safe place
no matter what.
Can he then take revenge from the murder
of his father or mother outside
the place
which has been made a haram. Yes.
But not inside.
Now
we have a very important
question that we need to deal with.
Allah
told us that He made it a place
of return and He made it a place
of of safety
and security.
So how might we understand then?
If there were times
in history
where
there might not have been
complete
safety or security
in Makkah or the Haram.
Some may look at me and think, did
that really happen?
There were sometimes.
Okay?
How do we understand it?
This is very much related, and this is
part of the response as well,
to the question of,
is this
a stated fact? Is Allah stating a fact?
Or is Allah
elucidating
a
piece of legislation,
Is it a fact, as a Allah saying,
that Allah made it safe and therefore it
will never be unsafe?
Or is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saying
that you should make it safe?
That it is up to you, it's a
command
to make
the house a place of safety and security.
And who are the ones who are going
to implement that command?
The people.
Yes?
Those who may have seen
times in history
where there wasn't
or there was some kind of a violation
of that safety or security,
or
more importantly,
maybe evidence from the Islamic texts themselves
that something might happen
there.
Those imams
understood it to be
meaning legislation
to command,
make the bait, make the house a place
of safety and security. And if you do
not, that is upon you.
And Allah
commanded them and said that this place is
a place of safety.
Right?
And
what does it mean when Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala commands that it be a place of
safety? It means that even the vegetation in
Makkah,
you cannot pluck.
It's a safe sanctuary.
Much less
to violate
the animals
or
human beings,
the plants you cannot touch.
Okay?
It's a command. This is how some of
the imams understood it.
So that's why for instance,
Al Imam al Jassas,
the famous Hanafi,
jurist,
he said this is a hukum.
And he based it on an ayah.
He said, In the other ayah,
Allah Subha'ala
said, Do not fight them in the masjid
Haram
unless they fight you. If they fight you
in the Masjid Al Haram, then you fight
them back.
So
it's almost like
it might happen,
and if it does happen then you are
permitted to fight them back.
So
he maintained that this is a hukub. It's
not a khabar. It's not a fact. It's
not a stated fact.
Okay?
And others may have said,
have had diff similar opinions.
On the other hand,
you have
some of the scholars
like, Al Imam ibn Hajar and Al Minawi
who
whose job it was to
or
they, gave their life and dedicated it to
explaining many of the hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So when they were
trying to show that there is no contradiction
between
this aya and others
that talk about Makkah and the house as
a safe sanctuary.
And the hadith of Rasulullah
which is authentic that mentions
that the Kaaba
will be destroyed at the end of time
by none other than
Tell me, ins'millah.
Yes?
Will be destroyed at the end of time
by?
By whom? Someone will destroy it.
Who?
A very
skinny legs,
what does that have to do with it?
That's that's what the prophet
told us in the authentic hadith.
A man with very skinny legs from Habasha,
from Abyssinia.
SubhanAllah.
So when
these scholars were responding to this, They said
this does not contradict the fact that Allah
made it a safe place because this will
be at
the end of time.
When? That's the end of the dunya. That's
it. It's finished.
Furthermore,
there are no Muslims left. The Prophet said
the day of judgement will not
come
until there is no one saying Allah Allah
on the earth.
So there's no one to go to the
house anyway.
The house is
is blessed by the people visiting it
and remembering Allah in it.
If there is no one,
Allah lets it be destroyed.
So their response was, this is at the
end of time.
If they
thought it was a hukum
and not a fact,
they would have said,
what's the problem? There's no contradiction.
It might happen because Allah said it as
legislation, not as a fact.
So some understood it as a fact,
and others understood it as
legislation or a command.
As opposed to
Right?
Was it,
or did it
experience
some lack of safety in history?
We may say so.
Even though for most of its history
it was protected by the protection of Allah
and we have of course Surah Al Fil
where Allah subhanahu ta'ala reminds
Quraysh
and reminds of how he destroyed the people
of the elephant who were trying to destroy
the Kaaba.
There is a Lord for this Kaaba who
will protect it, and he protected it.
And Allah
tells the people of Quraysh
that He is the one who gave them
safety and security.
Defend them,
as a result of hunger.
Right?
So he gave them that safety and security.
And for most of its history, that was
the case.
But there were some instances
where some of the criminals,
yes,
they
desecrated
the Kaaba
and Al Masjid Al Haram.
And one of the
famous examples
is the example of Al Hajjaj
and the time of Abdullah ibn Zubayr.
When Abdullah ibn Zubayr was in Makkah
and they lead laid siege
to
Al Masjid Al Haram,
and finally
they started
throwing
fire
at Al Masjid Al Haram
or throwing big rocks
at it
in the attempt to destroy it
and to kill Abdullah ibn Zubayr and whoever
supported him. So this great crime was
committed by Al Hajjaj ibn Yusuf.
This is an example.
But this is clearly an exception.
It happened
many centuries later as well
by the Haramitah.
You know the Al Haramitah in history?
Again,
criminals
And they went after Al Kaaba as well
and destroyed it
few centuries after that.
So you have some of these instances
in history
where something like this may have happened.
Okay?
So how do we understand it then? Again,
if we understand it as a hokum, no
issue.
If we understand it as a fact,
we may say these are exceptions.
And
the general rule and for most of its
history,
it has been protected and safe.
Even though like we just said in the
other ayah, at the same time,
was enjoying the security. People around them were
completely unsafe. Didn't enjoy any of that safety
or security. So that was something special that
Allah gave to Al Kaaba and Al Haram.
And this is why
very interestingly, you find in tafsir al manar
that
there is this comment about this being an
exception.
But at their time, at at the time
of Muhammad Abu and Rashid Rehba,
they said that
it was not safe
to the extent
that Muhammad Abdul felt that going to Hajj
for him at the time
was not safe for him.
And that it was almost as if he
was
throwing himself into destruction.
And Rashid Riba
supported that opinion. And he said,
and I think the same.
And he said that at that time, and
this is in the beginning of the, 20th
century, early 20th
century,
He said, and at that time,
there was
and transgression
in Makkah and Al Masjid Al Haram
to the extent
that was never seen, not in Jahiliyyah and
not in the period of Islam.
SubhanAllah.
And there were some who were not even
allowed to go to the Hajj.
And
again, they made the dua. Oh Allah,
let us see
this
ayah in practice again
where it is completely
safe
and secure.
So there may have been some of those
instances.
And by the way,
in history,
many of the non Muslims were also
targeting Al Ka'bah
such as most famously
who?
The Portuguese.
In the
16th century,
they wanted to destroy Al Ka'ba.
So this
grand
criminal
and imbecile,
Albeit,
many Muslims are taught that he is a
great
paragon and and champion.
The conquistadors?
Have you learned about the conquistadors?
Right?
And the so called age of discovery
where the Portuguese and the Spanish went out
looking for
alternative routes.
So you've heard names like Magellan and Vasco
da Gama,
Alfonso de Albuquerque. You've heard these names.
They are talked about as if they are
some kind of some paragons of excellence.
They were criminals.
And one of them is this Afonso de
Albuquerque.
So he wrote to the Portuguese King, Domanuel.
He wrote to him and he said
that
I intend to exterminate
the Rumi's. And he means by that,
the Ottomans, the Turks, the Muslims.
They used to use the word Turk and
Muslim
synonymously
because the Ottomans were Muslims,
and they were the main danger for them,
so they considered all Muslims Turks.
Right? So he says I intend to exterminate
them.
And then
after contacting
Pastor John
to destroy Mecca.
He wants to destroy Mecca, this criminal.
No.
This is Mecca.
You cannot destroy it. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will protect it.
So
there were attempts and we hear it nowadays.
Don't you hear it nowadays as well?
The criminals and the enemies of Islam will
say what Nuk
Makkah.
What does Nuk Makkah mean?
Yes?
Brothers and sisters, we have to know
what they are saying.
Yes brother?
Yes.
Drop
a nuclear bomb in Makkah. Nuke it.
Right?
This is what these criminals say.
The Islamophobes,
the people who hate Islam and Muslims
and want to destroy Islam and Muslims.
No. No. No. No.
This is Mecca.
You will not be able to,
God willing.
Insha'Allah, there will not be an exception for
them.
And take the Maqam of Ibrahim as a
place of prayer.
The Maqam of Ibrahim?
We all know pretty much what the Maqam
of Ibrahim is even though there is some
difference of opinion between this mufasirim of the
sahaba and the tabi'een. What exactly is the
Maqam of Ibrahim?
Because Maqam Ibrahim meaning the place where Ibrahim
went,
stood, worshiped.
So this is why you will find some
of the opinions
that Maqar Ibrahim is the whole Hajj
or Mina
and Muzdalifa and Arafa and all these places
or the whole Masjid al Haram.
But
the correct opinion
here
is Maqam Ibrahim
based on the authentic hadith of the Prophet
alaihi salatu wa salam. And Imam Octabari
insists on this, based on the authentic hadith.
Baqar Ibrahim
is the place known to all of us
as the place where Ibrahim alayhi salam stood
when he was building the Kaaba.
And some said the rock that he stood
on
that was given to him by Ismael and
his wife
when
he was building the Kaaba with his son.
This is Maqan Ibrahim.
The authentic
hadith
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
in the description of his Hajj,
Jabir ibn Abdullah
Radhiallahu an says that
the way that the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
sallam performed it,
he performed his tawaf
and after his tawaf,
he went to Baqam Ibrahim
and he placed it between him and
the Kaaba and he prayed 2 rakah in
which he recited
and and
when he did so,
and this is
the crux of it.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, he
recited the ayah.
He recited this ayah. So he said, what
Takhi do? Nimmaqamibrahima
musalla.
Make the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place
of prayer. And this is exactly what he
did before he
did the 2 rakah. Just like he also
recited the ayah. Inna Safa wal Narwa
when he did Asai.
Right? So the Prophet is
taking pride in
implementing
the commands of Allah in the Quran. So
he's reciting it and then
performing it.
Okay. So this is very clear. This is
the Maqam of Ibrahim.
Even though
the maqam of Ibrahim did not used to
be there
you know this. Right? The maqam of Ibrahim
used to be
right
at the Kaaba.
Before, it was moved by
Sunnah,
Sayyidna Umar al Khattab
radiAllahu
However, take it as a place of prayer,
not meaning that you do it all the
time.
How do we know this? The guidance of
the prophet
When did he pray? He would pray those
2 rakas after
the tawaf.
Take it as,
a place of prayer. And this is, of
course, in honor of Ibrahim alayhi sallam.
Imam Khattada
mentioned something interesting.
He said
this Umma was
commanded
to take it as a place of prayer
but they did something
none of the nations did before it
which is that they took it
also
as
like a place of barakah
and tamasuh,
meaning
touching it and and and wiping it.
Right? So he said this is not what
they were commanded to do. He said, utahlib
al Maqami Ibrahim.
So he said because of this
and because
of what it seems is that they were
touching it as if they were getting barakah
and blessing from it,
This is what eroded
the
So
he said, I was told by some
that you could see the location of the
of his fingers and his feet,
but that that slowly eroded because of people
continuously
touching it.
And you still see people trying to touch
it even though they encased it. Right?
What is the command of Allah?
Take it as a place of prayer.
And we have
commanded this is
here, this is a of Allah
This is his command to Ibrahim and Ishmael
to what? To purify
and and pure that you should purify my
house.
For these
3 categories that we will mention.
So they are required to purify the house
of Allah Subha Ta'ala. And everyone who follows
their sunnah should purify the house of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
But
what does it mean to purify the house
of Allah?
Many
understood
a metaphorical purification,
not an actual one.
Meaning,
purify
my house
of
shirk,
of idolatry,
and everything connected with that.
So it's a metaphorical purification.
But if we understand it as such, then
we ask an important question.
Were there
idols?
Was was there shirk at the Kaaba before
Ibrahim alaihis salaam?
Alayhi salam? Al Imam who
favors this opinion that it is a metaphorical
purification,
he mentions that it is possible
that it goes back all the way to
the time of
because
was there
long before Ibrahim alaihi salaam,
which might engender other questions that you can
ask me after
the lesson because I'm running out of time.
But
if we say that that is the case,
then maybe there were idols
going back maybe to the time of
Wuh, alayhi salaam. So they were commanded to
purify the house
and prepare it for the worshipers.
Okay.
And the other possibility is that it is
an actual purification.
Clean it.
Clean the place and prepare it and make
it ready for the worshippers.
And it may be most
Purify this place in every way
for the worshippers that are going to
worship Allah subhanahu
wa
ta'ala there.
Who are
Okay.
And what are they
doing?
The brother mentioned it.
Those who are performing the tawaf,
one of the great acts of worship is
the tawaf around the Kaaba.
And the tawaf you can do as part
of the umrah and you can do
outside as well. Right?
The tawaf are on the Kaaba.
This is one group, those who are doing
the
Some difference of opinion.
Some said
are the
the ones who are doing the
in al Haram.
And you will find some
doing such
possibly in Ramadan, possibly outside of Ramadan.
And others said that
are those who are living
nearby,
the haram,
for the purpose of continually
going back and forth.
So they are neighboring al Haram,
but they are not necessarily performing al Atikaf.
And this is the opinion,
of Al Imam al Tabari.
Not the ones who are performing
but rather the ones who are nearby.
And it seems he's basing it on the
fact that
the,
and
the last category are the categories of those
who are performing worship,
of Allah
And
this one, therefore, is a meaning other than
that.
Those who are
praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala much,
But he referred to them by one of
the very important characteristics of prayer and that
is
ruku
and
sujud.
The bowing and the sujud.
Showing us the importance of the ruku and
the sujud for the salah.
And those scholars who gave the opinion
that the ruku and the sujood in the
salah is more important than the and the
would use this ayah as evidence.
So
purify my house
for those who are doing the tawaf,
those who are,
nearby
the Haram, living nearby the Haram,
or the other opinion who are doing articaf
and those who are praying to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala there. Purify my house for those
people. This is what the house is for,
my dear brothers and sisters, for the remembrance
of Allah
as we mentioned before.
SubhanAllah.
I was meant to finish the next ayah
by the time you gave me that sign,
brother.
Anything, my brothers and sisters?
Shit. Yes, madam. Soldiers.
Yes. Yes. Of course. This is another example.
The,
well, I don't know about soldiers.
Jahaiman.
The the the incident on Jahaiman.
Yeah.
Apparently,
someone who was
mentally ill, thought he was Al Mahdi,
went in and, yeah,
killed a lot of people and made siege
to the Haram.
Yeah.
Another example
another example
of,
possibly the exceptions to the rule,
to the safety and security of Al Haram.
Very dangerous,
very dangerous.
And
maybe more evidence possibly to those who might
say,
and this is how
some people grappling with the idea of Allah
made it a place of of safety and
security then
how was, you know, someone like jayman able
to, you know, do something like this, commit
such a crime? They said, no. This is
a hakum. This is not really a stated
fact, wallahu a'ala. And, some people
claim that there is lack of safety and
security today as well in Al Haram.
Okay.
Citing some incidents
that happened in Al Haram.
People being picked up, people being arrested,
you know, for doing
something as simple as, you know, making collective
dua,
you know, for their brothers and sisters in
razza.
So,
some of this is is being cited as
well today. Unfortunately,
may Allah
always make it a place of safety and
security for all.
Yes, brother?
What about them? I'm trying to do something.
Trying to Yeah.
19.
Well,
possibly. Yes. Exactly.
They they try to do things all the
time actually in the Hajj.
Right?
They try to make some mischief,
in in Al Masjid Haram or around,
Al Kaaba. And of course we know
that
their most extreme elements of the rafi'ba, of
the shia,
would like to take over Al Haram.
And their dream is to have flags of
Yahussein,
over Al Kaaba. We we know this. We
know this is what they're after.
And God forbid. May Allah protect it
and protect us.
And by the way,
this started in history as well.
This started in history.
All the
is different. No?
Back to the the early 15th century,
this same
criminal,
Alfonso de Albuquerque,
he wrote
to the
Safavids,
Safawiyya.
Safawiyya, Ismail Safawiyya.
When did he take over the area of
Iran? In the 1500.
This is when Iran started becoming
shiri.
It was never the case.
It has always been Sunni.
And some of the great scholars came from
that area as well.
Okay.
More on that later. But
the the
Safavids at the time
were cooperating with these criminals.
So Afan Soada Albuquerque wrote
to the Safavids,
and he said, if you so wish, I
will sell you I will send you fleets
and soldiers
so that we can destroy Makkah
together. Hasbum Allahu namalwakeel.
May Allah protect it always.
Yes, brother? What's the
after the screen?
After, sorry.
Okay.
Yes.
At the time of the prophet alaihis salaam.
Exactly.
So therefore,
purify it. So just like Ibrahim alaihis salam
purified it, you are to purify it. Absolutely.
And this is, yani, possibly why also.
Many took that opinion that it's a metaphorical
purification even though many understood,
a literal
purification as well,
and and cleaning.
And that is very important as well. And
please, my brothers and sisters,
take it as a literal purification and keep
the place clean when you go there. This
is the house of Allah.
But
absolutely,
look at the state of it at the
time of the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
But this is what? This is before him.
Right? This is before him. And he was
not able to purify it
until
he took over Makkah
because they were oppressed and persecuted. It's only
after
he
went back into Makkah
in the 8th year Hijri, the fatha of
Makkah.
Right?
It's only after that that he was able
to break
the the idols and purify that place again.
Yeah.
I I really thought we were gonna finish
the next ayah, SubhanAllah.
And there are connections.
We'll see them insha'Allah next time.
