Before we,
go into the the second the topic of
today,
just, we left one item open last week,
just said I need to look into and
then head back to you,
It was about the issue of.
So we know that how the sent
to the messengers to the the prophets.
But we mentioned the the 2 incidents or
the 2 that
talk about how all of us reveals or
sends the
to in Surah Al Nahil to the peace
so the the Surah Al Nahil to the
peace.
And the other one is,
only Musa, the mother of Musa Al Nahil
revealed.
So I just did a quick search in
the end of. So in the eye of
Sultan Nakhi, Allah
says, well,
That and Allah
revealed to the peace
that take homes
or places of residence in the mountains
and in the trees
and from what they have their, you know,
the the the the plants that that may
that form a shade.
So now with
in he said when when he said
he
said meaning that it's inspiration
and guidance.
And it's guidance to the bees that to
take houses, etcetera. You know, he
continues. And he said that and to form
the houses in the, you know, in the
6,
what they call that, hexagon
hexagon,
that the 6 angles or the 6,
sections
and that without without any discrepancy, etcetera. But,
again, the meaning is that it is what
it is an inspiration to the to the
to the to the peace.
So he
says,
and then when he explained this,
he said could
be could be a matter of inspiration,
which is what now he explains what he
means by that. He said
and it is what Allah creates in the
heart.
Without apparent reason. Allah puts it, you know,
if you wanna talk talk about it as
as your DNA, your system, your
composition.
However you are, that that is the what
Allah
puts in it. And he and he mentions,
in the
the animals,
and that Allah
creates
in them
the realization of what what benefits them and
what's how it harms them.
Why is it that, who taught the calf,
for example, or a cow to run away
from a lion? Who taught the the cow
to eat grass but not to eat sand?
These things are built
in that,
makes them, you know, act in in this
way.
So it's again, it is just the the
instinct, if you wish, or the nature of
the being.
In Surah al Qasas when Allah
talks about the mother of Musa,
they really it's not very different, meaning from,
the the sort
of with minor difference.
Allah says, well,
And we revealed to the mother of Musa
that breastfeed him. That's when he was born.
Now
if you are afraid for him,
if you're afraid for him,
throw him in the sea.
Okay.
And we call their heart that you're not
going don't be afraid and do not be
sad. In our crew, we are
going to return him back, send him back
to you, and we are going to make
him answer messages.
So,
very briefly, mentions that the of this that
we sent the to Musa. He said basically
we put it in her heart.
Somehow, she realized that she needs to do
this. You know? And when he
explained this,
he gave different sayings by different groups of
people, different.
And he said that this is, there's a
disagreement
about what is this that was sent down
to the mother of.
So Sadhu, he said, he
said
that in her sleep, somebody came to her
and she heard the saying saying, you know,
go ahead and throw him in the,
in the sea.
It was an inspiration, meaning that she just
felt that or she,
was overcome by this,
idea.
Another group, she said it was to an
angel,
That an angel came to her
and revealed to her go ahead and send
him in, you know, throw him in the
sea. You know, Mukhatel
was also the student of the.
Mukhatel said that it is,
Jibril came to her. It was Jibril.
I don't know what he where his reference
is,
that this is the case.
And then with, you know, he said that
it is everybody agrees that she's not a
prophet. I mean, all he said,
all are in agreement that she was not
a prophet because even if the angel came
to her, but she was notified,
not that she was,
given a message to deliver, etcetera.
Bottom line is that when when you say
about the to the bees or to the,
and when when when you gather with whatever
it said at the end of the day,
it's just that almost
makes their makeup,
their design instinctively
to do things that the way they do.
Within Musa alayhi salaam, Allah
you know,
inspired her to or gave her the idea
to go ahead and put him in the
in the ocean.
That's
it.
Let's go back to the to the dialogue
of Rasulullah
So we talked about the Rasulullah who Jibre
alaihi salaam came to him and that he
would go back to his wife Khadija
and then he
invited because Ali used to live with him,
so he invited Ali to Islam. Al Bakr
al Sudeep was his close companion. She he
invited him to Islam. And Al Bakr al
Sudeep in turn, by the way, as the
says,
He was a liked person.
He was somebody who was good, you know,
he had good, way of dealing with people,
and he called other people. And one of
the major Sahabis, the great Sahabis actually became
Muslims through,
you know?
Sorry?
Yeah. I I don't know all about the.
Okay. Alright. But the major major Sahabis became
Muslims through him. Right? He was a liked
person
and respected person.
Now but at the same time, if you
notice,
all he did, he
did not after the initial invitation. As soon
as he received the, he got up on
the member or the last member on the,
on. He stood up on, and he said,
if I tell you that something a who
you know, an army is coming to attack
you, will you believe me? All of that.
And we talked about a the story of
a.
But after that, he went basically, you know,
individual now. He did not address he did
he did not take his public positions.
He did not stand up on the on
on again. He did not address the people.
Simply, Abu Bakr Sadeep would reach out to
this person, that person,
would reach out to this person, that person,
and that was done in secret.
When I say in secret,
I mean and that's what they've been asked
and we'll talk talk about what he said.
But it's not that the man Mackenzie did
not know about the Dawa of Islam.
They were aware of it. He he stood
up, and he he told them, I I'm
a messenger of Allah.
You know? And but it is
who became a Muslim?
Where they used to meet? You know?
What is he teaching them? That is what
was actually kept away from them.
And,
Mubarak Fury divides the
the the stages of from
the time of revelation
until the death of Rasool into 4 stages.
You know? I don't understand the 4th one.
I'll I'll mention it, but, he he said
that
on the first the secret invitation to Islam.
You know? And that lasted for 3 years.
The 1st 3 years, there was a secret
period.
You know, that he would invite now after
the 3 years,
you know, and we'll talk about it,
next time. He,
he started addressing Mecca as a society, not
just individuals,
or people who believed in him, but actually
as society and he started confronting their ideas
and and their their value system and their
standards, etcetera, but
no fighting.
There was no Jihad,
revealed at that time.
And we know jihad was revealed
within Aladdin and,
and.
That was on their way to where to
actually from
on the way to on the way to.
But before that, there was no fighting.
You know?
And that continued the stage this stage second
stage where it was public,
but no no physical force, no physical, confrontation,
until Hijra,
until the migration.
And then after Hijra, it became
a public invitation to Islam but with fighting.
Meaning jihad was revealed, and now we are
Rasulullah
was not only inviting individuals and inviting people
and tribes and writing letters, but also there
was an army that was, you know, attacking
and defending and and, you know, so there
was a physical aspect of the Dawa as
well.
And then, he said that this lasted until
Khradabian
until the treaty of. You know?
Now and final stage
was public invitation,
you know, with fighting whoever stood in the
way of DAO. Actually, yeah, I understand.
The the anybody who fights in the way
of DAO. So in other words,
before before that, it was a matter of,
you know,
invitation.
But the the the the army was was
there, but there was no enforcement.
But if you remember the battle of,
this is not the battle. The Surah of
that
by the by then, it gave the mushrike
in 4 months. The mushrike in the Arabs,
specifically, the Arab Mushriks.
Give them 4 months. You either follow Islam
or it is the sword. And they had
a special case. This one did not apply
to non Arabs, and we'll come to it
in good time. But the idea is that
at that time, in jihad became an integral
part of the dawah. So there was dawah,
and there was also a jihad at the
same time. Okay. So let's take the first
phase.
When Allah
revealed, yeah, you're on
the under.
The one who is covered, he would def,
they're the one who is covered hope to
end them. Get up and
warn. So that it means that now he
has a he's commanded
to get up and warn the people about
what about the the deed of Allah
the heaven and *, the obedience
of Allah and the consequence of his,
disbelief in him. Okay?
Even his absence,
between the time, Rasulullah
hit his affair
until Allah
commanded him
to make it public
was 3 years from his from his mission.
So from the time that Rasul was invited,
you know, to you know, he received the
the
from that point until the point, of,
you know, of going public,
that was a matter of 3 years.
And,
of course, when
that was the
that they know,
you know,
comply with what you commanded
and warn the the.
So that was the command, and we'll talk
about in detail next time. But that was
the command that was the that actually took
from
a secret stage to the public stage still,
again, as we said, with no,
with no fighting.
So what also shows that this lasted for
3 days and that there was a a
private or secret 3 3 years and that
it lasted for 3 years without without,
you know,
engaging the society
is the hadith that is reported by Imam
Muslim,
that Abu Bakr Absa Surmi,
you know, said,
you know, I was in Jahiliya.
I thought that everybody was going astray.
When the home place
and they had nothing really, no real ideas
to follow, no real,
values.
And they were worshiping idols.
So I heard about a man in
who was telling people some news, something that's
different.
So I got like that on my camel,
you know, and
normally is the the the she camel. So
he got on the on the on his
shekel and and he took off he took
off to to Makkah.
And I found the Rasulullah
a Mustafiyan, meaning in hiding. Not that he
wasn't hiding. He was living amongst the people,
but his was in hiding. Meaning, he was
not declaring
to the people, you know, and he was
not embodying the people as, you know,
and his people
were actually very dominating as far as he
was concerned.
So gently, I went into
and I asked him. He's asking Rasool Sahu
Alaihi Salam. He said, who are you? He
said, I'm a prophet. And he said,
And he said, what what prophet?
And who went to what prophet?
Sent me.
What did he send you with?
Okay. He's going along with the question. He
said, what what did he send you with?
So look at
the
reply replied with this.
He commanded me. He sent me with, you
know, keeping the kin ties, keeping keeping the
relative the relationship with your relatives.
And the breaking of idols.
And that Allah should be worshiped alone with
no partners.
So I said to him,
who's following you?
He said, who?
He said, I have one free man and
one slave.
Who was the slave in my free man?
Who was the slave?
Very, very few. And and, of course, he
had his wife. He had his cousin, but
he did not have more than, you know,
the age of.
He said,
and then he,
And he became a Muslim at that time,
but the the the the
issue with I'm trying to show is that
the Muslim,
it says
that he was actually in hiding. His was
in hiding,
and he was not public.
Okay? And he,
Yarid ibn Isha continues.
He said that what kind of dawah to
what his dawah was to the people whom
he trusted,
the
people he trusted and people who he knew
such as his wife, his children,
his, you know, maulah, Zaid,
you know,
you know, his cousin, the people who could
keep a secret,
it wasn't it was still individually.
You know?
And now how many were they?
They reached, actually, at some point, within that
3 year period. They reached there are two
reports.
One by Ebrahim
that today reached number 40. They became 40
people. So he's talking about 3 years of
tower. He got 40 people.
And, Lehigh Marie said that they were actually
more than 50.
Okay?
What's still their epithetists and not take nothing
drastic?
And that's over 3 years.
Now some people,
claim that the people who followed him initially
were all poor and slaves and and people
who have no power, etcetera, which is actually
that's not, that's not true. But some some
of the and the where this becomes,
very evident when we go through the names
of the people who migrated to Abyssinia, the
first Israel.
Because remember, there were 2 Hijans to Abyssinia.
Two migrations.
The first one, which took place at very
early stage, you know, you will find some
of the best of the Quraysh, some of
the best of the Arabs, the highest of
the tribes and the rich people, they actually
also followed him. So it's not true that
only he was only followed by the poor
and the,
the slaves, etcetera.
And the first people who be became,
you know, declared their Islam to the to
the people, and they were not hiding it.
You know, the people who's who are actually,
showing that they are Muslims
were 7 people.
Rasulullah, Abu Bakr, Ammar bin Yasir, his mother,
Sumayya, and Suhaib, and Bilal and Al Makdad.
Then this is in Musa al Ahmad. So
you have 7 people who really,
even though you would say Sohayb
Sohayb was a a slave.
Bilal was a a slave at that time.
You know?
Same thing with Ali Asa. I mean, they
were they were not powerful. They were not
because it was a tribalistic
society.
If you don't have a strong tribe to
protect you, you don't have status, you know,
you don't have somebody to to to to
protect you, you are going to suffer.
And sure enough,
so you find that,
was protected by his uncle,
Abu Abu Bali.
And but his,
and Abu Bakr was by his people.
But the rest of them, they were actually
given the the what they call, like,
the war.
They they they put she
shields of iron on them.
You know?
And they let them, they put them in
the sun.
If you've lived in the gulf
if you know what what the gulf countries
are like, we have been there
to sit in the sun in in iron.
You know, you really,
I mean, you're gonna suffer.
You can you cannot stand on concrete in
in the in the summer
on cement. You cannot stand barefooted
for more than few seconds. Your your skin
literally will come off.
So these people, when you say that they'll
put them in shields and they cover them
in in iron in the sun,
This is actually very severe.
So what what was the what were the
features in that time in the or the
the the feature of that era, the first
3 years?
First of all, salah was there was a
salah.
The Sahaba and the Rasulullah
used to pray.
And, but here and this is I I
I now and we'll talk about the salah,
what it was, and what became.
But just one thing about the Rasulullah.
Yeah. When Rasulullah
ordered
the Sahaba, and this is a sign of
prophecy.
When you ordered the Sahaba to fast,
he fasted more.
When he ordered the Sahaba to pray, he
prayed more.
When he ordered the Sahaba to donate,
he donated more.
You know, it wasn't it wasn't what any
that that your regular
human being would do.
You guys go ahead and pray because I'm
the prophet of Allah, and Allah has already
forgiven my sins. You know, I I don't
really need to pray. And you see it
from some people who claim that they are
now, they they reached the high level of
spirituality.
They will, you know, they would tell you,
I I I don't have to pray. And
then this is a minor sect that exists
amongst Muslims, but they that's the nature.
You know? I live comfortably, you suffer. You
know why? Because I'm the chosen
prophet of Allah, I'm the last messenger, but
you guys are not. You know? And therefore
but the Rasulullah
was not like that. Rasulullah
used to sleep hungry and the the people
would be full.
You know, they would be comfortable, and he's
uncomfortable.
You know, if he said salah, you would
find him standing at night until his feet
would swollen and and would crack.
Means they would split
from the long standing.
So this is not
the the your typical,
way or the typical human being or somebody
who claims a prophet.
But with the Rasulullah alaihi wasalam, this is
one of the signs as such.
So they used to meet with the Rasulullah
alaihi wasalam secret secretively,
and they,
they used to pray also in the mountains.
They used to go in the shahab, meaning
in the mountains of the of Mecca,
away from Quraish, and they used to pray
there.
Even if Halq said, you know, that the
Rasulullah sallam's companions,
whenever they wanted to pray, they would go
to the mountains, to the shahab,
and they would have they would pray seratively.
So in one incident,
when Sa'ad bin Abu Akbar was
with a group of the Sahaba, and they
were praying in Makkah, in the in the
mountains,
A group of Moshekin came, idol worshipers came,
and they saw them. So they started mocking
them, and they started ridiculing them.
You know? So Saddam Abu Abbas took a
a a jaw off a camel.
You know, and he hit one of them,
you know, of the of the and that
was the first blood spilled
in Islam.
That was by then by Sa'ad bin Abu
Abbas. Okay? So how was the salah? Because
we're talking about the 1st 3 years. We're
saying they used to pray.
How was the salah?
The salah as we know as we know
it was,
a revealed one.
In Miraj. Right? When the Rasool went from
Islam to to Jerusalem. From there, he would
enter Mirage. And that's when the salah was
a one who is a very well known.
You know?
And we know the that that talked about
how the salah started 50 salah a day,
and and would tell him, go back to
your lord. Your cannot stand it, and he
kept on going back and forth until finally,
it got to the, the 5. But with
the mercy of Allah the
the good deeds for them equals the 50
that were prescribed. You know? So,
that that's
so that that was in the, as we
said, in the night of Israel and Baraj,
and that was about a year and a
half before migrating to Madinah.
So you're talking about that Rasulullah spent 13
years in Mecca. So you're talking about almost
11 and a half years
in,
in Mecca
praying differently from what they were praying or
what what he what was prescribed at that
time.
We know the times after after the the
salah was prescribed. We know that the hadith
in the say,
that in Nabi
you know,
was approached by Gibril alaihi salaam.
When the sun,
you know, it means that the the from
the the vertical position of the.
You know? So he said Jibril said, get
up, Mohammed
and pray,
you know,
because the sun has tilted.
Then he stayed until
the shade the shade the the shadow of
the person of the object became the length
of the object.
Okay? So Jibril alaihi salaam came to him
and he said, then get up on Muhammad
and pray.
Then he stayed until the sunset and then
he said, get up and pray in.
You know? And then he, after that,
you know, the sun set it completely,
and then, of course, the,
the the stars started appearing.
Came and commanded to pay Russia.
And the the next day,
he came towards the very end of the
summer. And I don't wanna, you know, towards
the very end of the summer. You know?
So, initially,
he came the the just before that the
sun
came up, and he let her you know,
he told them to pray and pray.
Just before the sun, you know, the the
the the became twice the length of the
the object. He let him in Nasr, and
the same thing with Maghrib, the same time
in Russia,
right before in Fajr. So he told them
between this and this is your time for
Islam. Okay?
So when was that in
the account there? This was actually in the
11 and a half years after the, after
the revelation.
So you're talking about the the,
you know,
about about the year and a half, couple
of years before Israel.
Now how was the salah prescribed first?
It was to Akatura,
and now this is by the way, we're
talking about after
the way that it was prescribed
after.
Before, how will Rasool Allah use they they
used to pray.
Actually, and I I don't want to get
distracted. I'm really trying to to stay on
the.
But,
that's actually a question for the people who
reject the.
The the people who reject the sunnah,
you they need to answer the question, how
did the prophet
pray?
It is either that
he prayed
he prayed
in a way that
Allah revealed it to him or he fabricated
it.
They were praying,
you know, for several years, and they were
quoting to where?
To be their knuckles,
You know? And until later on. So
who and we have no in the Quran
that says point to.
What you have is that
I was talking about moving the not
initiating
the You know? So the people who deny
this, they because they tell you that the
only received the in Quran as a.
Okay? Well, how did Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam know
about where to face and what was the
salawat that time? Why he made it up?
If he made it up in some in
the one case where then it's possible that
he makes up everything in any case.
Meaning that you you put that question mark
about the the what
he the Rasulullah
received, then you put the question mark on
the entirety of Islam.
You know? So,
and there are many examples like this where
there there is no command in the Quran,
you know,
and
followed it, which shows that there he received
a separate from the Quran.
You know? And that's what we what we're
we're referring to as a.
We don't call it as this.
So even this helps it, you know, that,
the people of and started entering into Islam
in groups, Arsalah and, you know, like,
1, 2, 3 here and there, they started
entering Islam from men and women
until people started talking about Islam in Mecca
even though, by the way, this is still
in the secret state. This is still he
did not allow as
we show how.
Now when they reach around 30
between, you know, men and women,
they started meeting in the house of.
Actually, I don't know why he said that,
you know, they started meeting.
They were meeting from day 1. From,
in house of.
There are
reports about how old he was. There's a
report that he was actually 12.
There's a report that he was 14. He
had his own house,
and he was at the outskirts of Mecca.
So they you know, away from the the
the people. But they used to meet within
in that house to, where they, yeah, Rasoolullah
were
teaching them Islam.
So just to about some reports about this.
Mohammed bin Ammar
bin Mohammed bin Ammar from his father said
that Ammar said, I'm not so high at
the door of Raqqa. Remember when Mohammad Abu
Saba also wanted to become Muslim where they
go to the house of Raqqa. Everybody knew
they were meeting there meeting, you know, meeting
there, but
they it wasn't
publicized, but everybody knew.
I mean, it wasn't wasn't uncommon. It wasn't
unheard of. So,
he met Suhaib at the door of Rafa,
and they wanted to go meet with Rasulullah
SAW. So for the Khalifa, for Arab Ali
Islam, and so we moved in and Rasulullah
SAW told us about Islam. We became Muslims.
Then we stayed.
But look at this. We stayed until the
evening and then we left
in hiding.
And there's still, again,
people who knew that they were meeting, but
still they were very careful who's coming in
and who is going out
to suffer. And this was in. Now just
by the way,
and it becomes more clearer later on when
the is approached by
with a when and telling him, let's go
out. Let's go public. Let's go public.
And then Rasool SAW insisting that in that
we are still few in number.
All if you notice, the entirety of the
is all human effort.
And in in other words, it's not miraculous.
It is a the actions themselves, not the
the achievement of Rasulullah is absolutely
miraculous.
I mean, with the what what he the
victories that he established, the changes he created,
the culture he initiated, the Sahaba generation that
he raised. But in terms of how he
did it,
it is it was not you know, when
he thought it was actually planned, there is
winning, there is losing. When there is, there
is hiding. There is, you know, taking care
to do
in a human way so that
so that we can actually follow.
Imagine if what he did was
all miraculous and all, you know, floating on
the cloud kind of thing. How are we
supposed to follow?
You know, I would would if you when
Christian say, what would Jesus do?
Jesus is, according to them, is God. So
regardless what he does,
how can you imitate
him? But the Rasool alaihi salam is partial,
human being. And all the effort, the dawah
that he did and the communication
with the people and,
even afterwards when he established the Islamic state
and he started the jihad, those winning, you
know, there was planning, there was losing, there
were difficulties, challenges,
and that teaches the Muslims after him,
you know, that it is a human effort.
You know? Yes. You believe in Allah, Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, you put your trust in him,
but at the same that that, you know,
at the same time, you think and you
plan and you you learn how to to
deal with defeat just like you learn how
to deal with victory.
Okay.
Says that it was actually, it was a
hikmah
that in
the you know, to prevent the mushriks, the
idol worshipers from the attacking the Muslims or
harming them, that they would be in hiding
and that he would only gather with you
know, meet them in secret.
And that's when he used to,
you know, doing the job of Rasulullah.
He
would teach him the book and he would
teach him the sunnah of Rasulullah.
And also, of course, the.
I mean,
your your,
I will come to what what he was
teaching them. Just give it a second.
Why why was he meeting in the house
of?
You know? So,
by the way, was not known to be
understood.
So, automatically,
if the if the was going to look
where is the meeting,
they that is a not a probable place
for them to be. The second thing, he
was from Beni Basu
against tribalistic society,
and he was from Beni Basu. And Beni
Basu was had the flag of war against
Beni Haase.
You know? So they would not think that
he would go to Beni Basu, who's a
competitor with Benny Rash.
And he was young. As I said, there
are reports that he was 12. There are
reports that he was 14. There's a there
is a the oldest I saw was something
like 16 years old. He was young, so
they will not think that actually people are
going to meet in a, you know, in
a young man's,
house.
But it was the secret secrecy here was
not for fear.
It was not because of fear. And how
somebody who receives the wahi from Allah Ta'ala.
Imagine.
Somebody who receives the angel Jibreel alayhi salam
and somebody who is, the the the Quran
comes down to him cannot be afraid
other than Allah
You know? Cannot be afraid of anybody but
him
But, again, this feeds to the idea that
it's a human effort,
and it has a the the Muslims after
him have to be taught that so that
they can act upon it.
So what did Rasulullah used to teach in
the hospital?
You know, as Allah says
You know that? And it is and, he
is the one who sent in the, meaning
the unlettered people, the, the the
Arabs.
A messenger from amongst them,
who recites
and purifies them
and teaches them the kitab, the the book,
which is the Quran Kareem and the hikma,
and that is the sunnah of Rasulullah.
Even, you know, when they were before it,
they were clearly astray. So that was what
he was teaching. He was teaching them what
Islam is, the of Islam, the of Islam,
whatever was revealed at that time because they
were very,
few walls.
And then and we'll talk about it later
on, but the the the very few rules
regarding the,
you know,
like, you know, keeping the the family relations,
the rules against the sinner, against, you know,
idol worshiping,
things of this nature, but nothing
more
than, you know, not much more than that.
And this is, by the way, establishing that
foundation, establishing the the what the the
what the Rasool SAW
established in that house, and that's why that's
why that generation
of Rasool SAW, the generation of Sahaba cannot
be duplicated,
cannot be replicated.
You know, you can learn from the what
the prophet
did, but they will always be high reward.
They will be always the best of people.
You can you can again,
follow the methodology of prophet
to impact the people and the followers, etcetera,
but you are not going to generate another,
generation of Sahaba. It
it just
by definition, there is no nobody in no
no generation
better than the generation of Sahaba
And
the way they were built
cannot be duplicated in the sense that
look at the way that they received the
Wahi and look at the way we received
the Wahi.
They received the Wahi over 23 years.
Through their lives.
They're living with the They
are witnessing the revelation. They're experiencing
the hardships and the good times. Then they're
seeing that impact, and they are
around the
physically,
you know, around the Rasool Islam.
And different from us,
we received,
the Quran al Kareem. We received the books
of Sunnah recorded.
We received the the knowledge of Islam recorded,
and now you're just,
you know, jumping in trying to get whatever
you can get. But it is and, of
course, the biggest catastrophe we have is that
the Rasool is not amongst us.
So you are you're not you know, you
are guided by your your understanding of the.
The prophet
is not here to guide you, to tell
you this is this is how it is,
and you will not be impacted by the
the Anub of Rasulullah,
in the in the past. Again,
this does not mean to deviate from his
from the way that he taught the Sahaba,
but it means that we have to understand
what we what are we expecting after we
follow. It's not going to be a duplicate,
duplicate,
generation.
And that's what, you know,
that way of building.
And I look what Aisha
when she says that
the first that was revealed from the Quran
al Kareem was in Mufasa.
You know, those small ayaats. You know, like,
these are what they call Mufasa, the small
ayaats.
And they are normally
they don't deal with. They don't deal with
do's and don'ts. Most of the these ayaats
are talking about having,
loving Allah, fearing Allah, the day of judgment,
you know, accountability, etcetera.
You know?
And she said, but once the people embrace
Islam, had to have a Nasir Islam
Nasir al Halal
You know, the Haram and Halal came down
and they started actually
being addressed. Now if
if the first thing that was revealed, do
not drink alcohol, they will say, we're not
going to leave it. If the first thing
that was revealed, you know, do not fornicate,
they would say, we're not gonna leave it.
This is their lifestyle. It's the way they're
living.
You know?
But it's rather the ayaat that we're talking
about, you know, the foundations of Islam. Once
they will build them, look at how many
years. You're talking about over years.
You know?
If if the secret period alone
is about 3 years with the Rasulullah and
then you can imagine now after that, the
confrontation with Raish, and after that,
the migration, the hijrah, and after that, the
the affirmations of armies and and treaties and,
fighting the Romans and the Persians and
that
experience cannot be duplicated.
