Last time we reached

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

the the point where

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

we

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

said that started calling for Islam openly.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

If you notice,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

the

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

steps of Rasool Sallalahu alaihi wa sallam

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

is always guided by the Quran.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

He's always guided by the Quran.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

When he started

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

when the came,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

You know?

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

Command him to go on war. And he

00:00:44 --> 00:00:44

started,

00:00:45 --> 00:00:45

you know,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

he started addressing his family, his wife, his

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

cousin, his friends, his you know, the people

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

he knows.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

But all as individuals and it was all

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

done, you know, in secret.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

Meaning, it wasn't

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

open publicly. But then

00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

Allah

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

and as as the

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

the people started entering the and

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

Islam became a popular topic in Mecca.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

So even though

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

even though

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

the was not public where Rasool addressing

00:01:19 --> 00:01:19

everybody,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

People knew, and we mentioned this before.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

People knew that the the Mohammed alaihis was

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

calling for something.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

That they were these people were meeting at

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

some place, you know, and that people are

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

coming in and, you know, getting attracted to

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

the dean. And people are talking about it,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

but still it was all

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

people hearing about things and things were still

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

on individual basis.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

Until Allah

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

And

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

the the word

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

or the word command

00:01:57 --> 00:01:57

has 2,

00:01:58 --> 00:01:58

meanings.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

One meaning is means to comply.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

Comply, obey what you are commanded. You know,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

like, when you say,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

you know, complied with or,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

respond positively

00:02:11 --> 00:02:11

to a command.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

And the other one is is means a

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

shock, you know, to to split something.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

Okay. And actually, B'Nisham,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

the the famous,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

historian,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

you know, he chooses the one it means

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

separate between false and truth,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

false oath and truth.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

That this is the dean of Islam is

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

going to separate between the false and, between

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

falsehood and truth. And when we talk about

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

it today,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

this becomes very evident how to how this

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

was done.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

So,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

he was calling for Islam, but now what

00:02:47 --> 00:02:47

will change?

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

So

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

in

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

the book of in his book of the,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

you know, the the section of in his,

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

He mentioned as, reports of Abdullah Abbas

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

that when Allah

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

sent the

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

the

00:03:04 --> 00:03:04

message,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:05

the

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

and warn your tribe,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:08

so it's

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

Sharah. That in that you

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

know, stood up on Safa Safa, you know

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

what? There's a place in Mecca.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

He stood up on Safa, which is a

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

heavy area.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

He says that,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

you have any fear. You know, the people

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

of fear. Because if you remember, Quraish has

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

tribes, different tribes underneath

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

the Quraish.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

And from them,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

you know,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

then they started calling

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

one

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

section at a time from them.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

And the people started rushing because he's calling.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

So they started rushing to see what what

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

he wanted and the the person, as the

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

hadith or the court says, the person who

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

could not make it sent somebody in their

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

be on their behalf.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

Go see what what's going on.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

So and amongst them was Abu Lahab.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

You know? Abu Lahab was amongst them. And

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

as we we talked about this before, when

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

he says

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

if I told you that, you know,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

horses or an army is coming from behind

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

this valley,

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

would you would you believe me?

00:04:20 --> 00:04:20

So immediately,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

the response was, we

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

only know truthfulness

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

about you. You are all you're telling the

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

truth. Remember

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

his quality, Assad Al Amin. He's the truthful

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

truthful

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

the the

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

the truthful, the honest.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

He established that that basis. He established that

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

foundation that you know me, I'm not a

00:04:42 --> 00:04:42

liar.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

You know? You know me, I'm not a

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

liar. And once he said that, he said,

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

I am a warner to you,

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

before a severe punishment coming towards you. So

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

I would have immediately

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

did not give that people the chance to

00:04:58 --> 00:04:58

say,

00:04:58 --> 00:05:02

what what punishment? My punishment? What what's your

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

message? What do you want? What are no

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

questions immediately.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

Shut off the the conversation

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

by saying, woe to you.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

That could mean, you know, a curse. It

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

could mean death to you. It could mean

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

something like that.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

Woe to you. You know? And they had

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

the. Is this what you gathered us for?

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

To tell us that you are, you know,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

a messenger? And immediately, the the sort of

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

sort of message came down.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

Because not only was Abu Lahab was somebody

00:05:40 --> 00:05:43

who opposed but even his wife.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

You know, she used to throw,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

the the thorns

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

and the the garbage in his.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

She started slandering her and talking about him,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

spreading rumors about him and lying, fabricating stories

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

about him. So it was really the the

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

unhappy couple

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

who were who were doing this against the

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

Rasulullah

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

and his wife and in the the Surah

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

came to address both of them,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

promising them hellfire. And this is, by the

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

way, one of the one of the proof

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

signs

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

for the truthfulness of Muhammad.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:16

Imagine,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

I mean, Abu Lahab is not a a

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

a stupid person.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

If Abu Lahab comes and says,

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

I changed my mind. I believe.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

I bear witness that there's not worthy of

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

worship of Allah, and Muhammad is a messenger

00:06:31 --> 00:06:31

of all.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

So what happens to the Surah?

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

The Surah promises hellfire to Abu Lahab and

00:06:37 --> 00:06:37

his wife.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

So if and his wife come and they

00:06:40 --> 00:06:40

say,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

we're believers.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

You just put the Quran on because

00:06:46 --> 00:06:46

the

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

al Islam

00:06:48 --> 00:06:48

says

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

whatever Islam

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

interrupts, Islam wipes out whatever is before it.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

So anybody who's done right, doesn't matter what

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

they did. Well, the greatest shirk shirk,

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

sin is what? Shirk.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

They were Mushriks.

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

They were Mushriks.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

So

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07

Allah

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10

forgives Shirk when they become what? When they

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

abandon it and they become they become people

00:07:13 --> 00:07:13

that worship Allah.

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

But so,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

all I have to say was,

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

I changed my mind. I don't believe on

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

them.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

And then he would have disproved the Quran.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

They're just the same the same token, by

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

the way, the same idea

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

when Allah says, about the the Jews.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

When he says,

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

but

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

the man that will know them. Wish death

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

upon yourselves to the Jews if if you're

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

really truthful.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

When I come in, whoever the the Ayah

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

continues in Surat of Jeremiah, and they will

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

not push it upon themselves

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

ever

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

about it. They're not argumentative people on the

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

contrary. Yeah. Jews, by the way, this is

00:07:59 --> 00:07:59

not,

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

to to to belittle them. They they

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

pride themselves on being

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

very capable to argue.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:08

In their religion,

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

they you can even argue with god himself.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

Okay? So it is it's not a so

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

they could have said, you know, okay. We

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

wish death upon ourselves.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

Because you don't believe in Muhammad's God anyway.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

You don't believe in Allah that that you

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

don't believe Muhammad

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

is telling the truth. So you only have

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

to to say, okay. You know?

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

Okay. We push that upon ourselves. The

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

Quran says, they will never push it upon

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

themselves.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:36

You know?

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

It's the same in the same token as

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

with,

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

Abu Abu Abu,

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

Abu

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

Lahab comes and says, you know, Allah says

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

he's about to go hellfire, and he does

00:08:48 --> 00:08:52

not, you know, take it back that, you

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

know, just a a sign if you wish

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

for the true forms of the of the

00:08:56 --> 00:08:57

Quran. Remember,

00:09:05 --> 00:09:05

and warn your,

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

immediate tribe,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09

you know, that he stood up and he

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

said, oh,

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

or something similar to it as the court

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

says.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

You know? So the first time these are

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

this is separate incident.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

This is separate incident. The first time he

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

established his truthfulness and that was the it

00:09:23 --> 00:09:26

seems that that was the first incident where

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

harass then address the people as a whole.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

In the second time, he started talking to.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

He said, buy yourself or save yourselves.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

I

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

I cannot do anything for for you,

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

in front of Allah. All children

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

of. The people of. Again, this is the

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

the tribe of.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

I cannot do anything for you for Allah.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

Now he's talking about his uncle.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

Abbas or Abbas, the son of Abu Abu.

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

I cannot do anything from you for you

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

on the day of judgement, meaning for Allah.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

Oh, Safia, the out of the messenger of

00:10:04 --> 00:10:05

Allah.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

I cannot do anything for you. Sorry. Counting

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

them. We are father of Muhammad.

00:10:09 --> 00:10:10

You know?

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

Old Fatima and the daughter of Mohammed, he's

00:10:13 --> 00:10:13

calling.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

Salimi Mashid ibn Mali. Ask me whatever you

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

want for my money,

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

for my wealth, whatever money I have. Ask

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

me whatever you wish.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

I cannot do anything for you in front

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

of Muhammad Ali. Meaning, my money and my

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

the personal gain is is the personal things

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

that I have,

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

no problem. You'd have it, but I I

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

cannot answer on your behalf on the day

00:10:37 --> 00:10:37

of judgement.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

Each person in Islam

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

spell it answers for themselves on the day

00:10:42 --> 00:10:42

of judgement.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

So he is saying I cannot do any

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

value for any of you, and these are

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

his relatives,

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

You know, the, Abdul Bukhali. These are his

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

relatives,

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

his daughter, father.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

These are all his relatives, and he's saying

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

I cannot do anything for you.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

Then just couple of points here is that

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

this is something, you know, that, some people

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

who take pride.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

I am from the family of Rasool.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

Abu Lab was from the family of Rasool.

00:11:11 --> 00:11:12

Was he not?

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

People Rasool says,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

The one who is not, entered into Jannah

00:11:23 --> 00:11:24

due to their work,

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

their actions, their deeds will not be helped

00:11:27 --> 00:11:28

by their lineage.

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

It is an honor to be from the

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

family of

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

but on the day of judgment,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:35

everybody

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

stands equal in front in front of Allahu

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

alaihi. Meaning, just because you belong

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

to the family of Rasool Allahu alaihi wa

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

sallam, and you are a, you

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

know, you are a that does not it's

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

not going to guarantee you in general.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

You still are going to, you know, be

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

questioned for what you what what's your actions.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

So that's the first thing that we Islam,

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

we don't have classes,

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

and we don't have the royal family and

00:12:01 --> 00:12:02

then the masses.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

It doesn't matter even if you are would

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

look at the daughter of Rasool, and say,

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

yeah, father, man. The most beloved daughter to

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

Rasool, you

00:12:09 --> 00:12:12

know, and he would tell her, I cannot

00:12:12 --> 00:12:13

do anything for you in the day of

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

judgement. All the personal stuff, money, and all

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

of this, take whatever you pay you want.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

But as your heaven held Allah's pleasure, that's

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

attained by your

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

actions.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

So therefore, the first thing is that we

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

don't have classism, we don't have the royal

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

blood, the royal family, people above the law,

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

above the message of Islam, above question

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

not at all.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

That we do not have.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

Rasool

00:12:40 --> 00:12:40

Salam

00:12:41 --> 00:12:41

says

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

People are equal

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

like the the teeth of a comb. You

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

know, how they they're just one line. You

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

know? And who look at Adam? What Adam

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

and Tob? And all of you are from

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

Adam, and Adam is from dust.

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

So it means what?

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

It doesn't matter who you are, what your

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

family is. Who are up to non Arab,

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

black, white. You know, it doesn't make a

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

difference what you are. At the end of

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

the day,

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

The best of you on the side of

00:13:12 --> 00:13:12

Allah

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

are the ones who have the most pious

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

or the ones conscious of him.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

The second thing, by the way,

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

Rasool established,

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

by simply saying,

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

all people are or people are

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

or my daughter or this and that. I

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

cannot do anything from you.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

Separated the people based on the argument.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

Automatically, meaning it's not a family thing. It's

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

not a it's not a

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

it's not about being a relative of mine.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

It's not about being beloved to me. It's

00:13:43 --> 00:13:46

not about being related to blood to me.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

This is about Iman and Kufar.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

This is about Aqidah and

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

it's Muslim or non Muslim.

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

And by that, he broke a a very

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57

strong bond

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

that existed amongst them, which was the tribal

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

bond bond

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

that the Arabs.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

They,

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

they were very tribalistic people,

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

you know. And we talked about this when

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

we talked about the Arabia. Arabia broke for

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

Islam. It was all about tribes and, you

00:14:14 --> 00:14:17

know, and what they the the people used

00:14:17 --> 00:14:17

to say also.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

You know, support your brother.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

Just you are unjustly

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

because this is a bond. This is your

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

brother. This is your blood brothers. You always

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

stand by. And the Rasulullah SAWAKAMI came correcting

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

it, you know, what you know, that he

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

will support him if he's, an if you're

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

unjust, you stop him from doing injustice.

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

It's

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

not a open support

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43

kind of idea. So what I'm saying, all

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

of this tribalism,

00:14:45 --> 00:14:45

all of this,

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

our relations, and all of this

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

stop at the gate of Islam.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

You know? So all of this becomes

00:14:53 --> 00:14:53

none

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

or let's say secondary for that.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

Another thing is that look at the Darwin.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:01

We wanted to look at the Darwin for

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

our social in this era just to get

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

take some features for it,

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

from it.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

It is different from the

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

the

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

the dua of other people who were multisies.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

They were the was

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

not the only multisies in,

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

in Arabia. If you remember, we talked about

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

there were other people who were. They were

00:15:22 --> 00:15:22

multisies.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

One of them was

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

Warapadunofan

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

and who became a Christian, you know, but

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

the Christian not with the,

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

you know, but not with the trinity and

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

all that, but the Muahide, a Manathis to

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

Christian, an original from the originally Christians.

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

The other one, Zaid bin Nufay.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:41

And Zaid

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

bin Nufay said,

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

Zaid bin Nufay

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

used to,

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

criticize

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

for the snorters in front of the islands.

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

You know? I mean, you had not only

00:15:55 --> 00:15:56

the not only the the,

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

you know, he was a monotheist, and these

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

people were were, slaughtering

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

their animals in front of, you know, to

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

to an island. So what he used to

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

tell them, he said he used to tell

00:16:07 --> 00:16:07

them that

00:16:10 --> 00:16:10

the goat

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

is created by Allah.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:13

Once

00:16:14 --> 00:16:14

and

00:16:15 --> 00:16:15

Allah

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

sent down the water for that goat from

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

the heavens.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:20

One

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

when he got the the vegetation for the

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

the goat to eat.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

Then you go slaughter it for somebody else.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:33

If Allah created it, Allah watered it, Allah

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

fed it, Allah gave it all of this,

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

Then you go and you slaughter it for

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

an idol, which did not do any of

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

that.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

So and that's reported by Bufari. So it

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

was it was known,

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

even it's not only that, the way they

00:16:48 --> 00:16:48

were stopping.

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

Asma ibn Abi Bakr, she reported that

00:16:52 --> 00:16:52

of the.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

She said that I saw Zayd bin Abu

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

El Nufayl

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

standing

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

at his bed back to the Kaaba

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

saying, oh, people of Quraysh,

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

no one of whom amongst you is following

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

the religion of Ibrahim except me.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:07

Okay?

00:17:07 --> 00:17:07

And

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

and he used to go because if you

00:17:11 --> 00:17:11

remember,

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

the Arabs used to slaughter the not slaughter.

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

They used to bury the the the girls

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

the infant girls alive.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

Why? Out of poverty, out of shame, out

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

of because poverty because the woman would not

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

work. So, you know, they are

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

just an extra expensive enough to eat to

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

eat so they would, you know, bury her

00:17:33 --> 00:17:33

alive.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

Or, you know, out of shame because they

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

viewed that the man is better than the

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

woman. So they would they would,

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

kill the girl.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:44

So I I say, but I'm gonna find

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

he will he would be standing and saying

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

that

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

anyone

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

who he has anybody wants him to to

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

kill his daughter, he would say, don't. I'll

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

take care of her. I'll support her.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

You know? So

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

he would tell there were people who were.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:02

They're positive. But if you notice,

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

even though he was critical of some of

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

the practices,

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

that was it. And whatever reports we have

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

about him, this is the extent of it.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

He did not do what the Rasulullah

00:18:13 --> 00:18:14

is about to do.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

So how did the Rasulullah

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

invited Islam?

00:18:19 --> 00:18:22

First of all, he used the intellect as

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

the foundation for Islam.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

Meaning what,

00:18:25 --> 00:18:25

every

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

criticism that he had for them,

00:18:28 --> 00:18:29

it was based on the

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

intellectual foundation. So for example,

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

for their aqid, their belief system,

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

when Allah would how did he criticize

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

the idols that were worshiping?

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

To these idols that you worship, do they

00:18:58 --> 00:19:00

have legs that they walk or the feet

00:19:00 --> 00:19:02

that they walk with? Do they have hands

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

that they strike with?

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

Do they have eyes that they can see

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

with?

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

Meaning or do they have ears that they

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

can hear with? Meaning, all of them are

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

just efficiencies. You have you have somebody who

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

cannot hear, cannot say, cannot,

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

speak, cannot move, cannot strike, cannot walk.

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

What are they? They are, you know, dumb

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

props.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

So he said,

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

go ahead and told them, you

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

know, and plot against me,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

and do not wait.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

And harm me.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

Get your

00:19:34 --> 00:19:36

get your partners that you're calling besides,

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

and what can you do for to to

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

me? You cannot do anything with your idols.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

So

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

look at the challenge

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

and how how aggressive it is, and at

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

the same time, it's relying on that foundation,

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

that the actual foundation that these look at

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

them, they cannot do anything.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

You know? Think about it.

00:19:57 --> 00:19:57

Another

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

that he would recite amongst them.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

Do I take gods,

00:20:08 --> 00:20:09

you know, other than him?

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

You and your Rahman

00:20:14 --> 00:20:14

wanted

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

hard to inflict to be inflicted upon me,

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

then none of them can intercede and benefit

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

me. What are you doing? And they cannot

00:20:22 --> 00:20:22

save me.

00:20:23 --> 00:20:24

Meaning, you are worshiping

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

an if inferior

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

entity. That's the idol.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

If Allah,

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

the Rahmah,

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

you know,

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

wanted to inflict harm on me, can they

00:20:34 --> 00:20:34

intercede

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

on my behalf?

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

Can they talk to Allah? If, you know,

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

if they cannot talk to can they save

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

me from Allah?

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

They cannot do anything themselves.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

And therefore,

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

no, they they are useless.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

When he talks about the the,

00:20:52 --> 00:20:52

you know,

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

the power of Allah

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56

look at this.

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

He merges the night into the day.

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

Merges the night the day into the night.

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

And he subjugated

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

the sun and the moon, meaning what? They

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

have system. They have a a pattern

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

of the way the sun rises, the way

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

the moon rises, sets, etcetera.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

They all go to a space

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

destination, meaning, again, subject to a system.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:23

That

00:21:25 --> 00:21:26

is your lord.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

That, the one who's

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

created this, that is your lord, the one

00:21:31 --> 00:21:34

who has all of this work, this,

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

possession. These kings are a kingdom.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

What Hadid had been doing and the ones

00:21:39 --> 00:21:42

that you are calling from, aside from him,

00:21:45 --> 00:21:46

They do not own.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:48

Do you know what is?

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

The date if you open the date, it

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

has the seed inside rather than Noah.

00:21:55 --> 00:21:56

There is a white

00:21:57 --> 00:22:00

cover around the in the Noah. It's nothing.

00:22:00 --> 00:22:03

Literally, I mean, even the comparison to the

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

data, you have the data, you have the

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

the seed inside, and it has this white,

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

you know, thing that that engulfs

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

the seeds.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

That's not a glitch. Meaning, you don't have

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

it they not even the seed, not even

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

the the thing. You know, they cannot do

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

anything even do

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

that.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

It did not just, you know, criticize this

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

kind of belief.

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

It criticized the way of believe the way

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

they believed,

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

the way they thought, the way they reached

00:22:31 --> 00:22:32

their belief system.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

So for them,

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

Those who do not believe in the after

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

in the hereafter,

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

they call the angels they call the angels,

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

in with female names.

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

Okay? Male who behave in Arabic, they have

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

no knowledge of that. How do you the

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

angels are what? They are they're not

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

they're beyond our our senses.

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

Nobody can know what an angel is. We

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

know we believe

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

there's something called angels. Why?

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

Why do we believe in angels?

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

The Quran

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

tells us there are angels.

00:23:12 --> 00:23:12

We

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

believe in angels.

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

So but you don't interact with them.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:23

You don't see them. You don't, you know,

00:23:23 --> 00:23:25

you don't know whether they are males, females.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

All of this, you know, actually, we find

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

out later on from other texts that they

00:23:29 --> 00:23:30

are sexless.

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

They are they are neither. They are not

00:23:32 --> 00:23:35

male or female, but all of this information

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

is not something that you you can come

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

up with. You can deduct. You can deduce

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

Deduce. This this stuff you you are told

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

that there are angels. And so they're all

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

they said they are females.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

None of them they have no knowledge certain

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

knowledge. They have no knowledge with certainty.

00:23:53 --> 00:23:54

Where did you get this?

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

They only follow they only follow conjecture.

00:23:58 --> 00:23:59

Even the way they believe,

00:24:00 --> 00:24:02

the way they believe, they only follow the

00:24:02 --> 00:24:03

conjecture.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

And conjecture cannot do anything in front of

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

the reality, the truth, the certainty.

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

You may talk about stuff that the ages

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

are females.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

How do you know that?

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

Because this is conjecture and cannot withstand

00:24:20 --> 00:24:22

against the or the the absolute the absolute

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

truth.

00:24:23 --> 00:24:24

Look at the the,

00:24:26 --> 00:24:27

you know, just the idea that they take

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

anything that that that comes to them. But

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

look at the idea that they imitate their

00:24:32 --> 00:24:32

forefathers

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

because they're actually in Islam, there's a debate

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

amongst the Aliyah whether

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

a person who becomes a Muslim just as

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

mere,

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

you know,

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

imitation of somebody. I'm a Muslim because you're

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

a Muslim.

00:24:48 --> 00:24:49

You know, is that a Muslim?

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53

You know? Or there is a required, you

00:24:53 --> 00:24:53

know,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

some certainty that that is that is involved.

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

So anyway but the the the

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

And if it is said to them, follow

00:25:06 --> 00:25:06

what Allah

00:25:07 --> 00:25:07

has revealed.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

They said what? We follow what we follow,

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12

what we found, our forefathers following.

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

What so what's the response?

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

I wouldn't kind of shaitan in Rubil Adir

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

Sayed. How about if the shaitan is actually

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

misleading him and taking him to hellfire?

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

Would you follow them still?

00:25:25 --> 00:25:27

So your criteria of how to determine the

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

validity or invalidity of your religion

00:25:30 --> 00:25:30

is not valid

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

because you're imitating. How about if the person

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

that you're imitating

00:25:36 --> 00:25:36

is misled

00:25:37 --> 00:25:40

by shayman and taking them to hellfire?

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

Would you still

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

follow any of my you know, I it

00:25:43 --> 00:25:46

doesn't matter. My forefathers will this. I'm gonna

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

follow them.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

This is not this is not the case.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

So and it it is a it's a

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

all of the the criticism that we find

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

in the in the Quran today, not just

00:25:57 --> 00:25:57

intellectual,

00:25:58 --> 00:25:59

but also,

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

if you have

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

some arrogance, you are you will be inclined

00:26:05 --> 00:26:06

to reject it.

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

Meaning, it's gonna it's gonna tick you off.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

And you look at it, how about if

00:26:11 --> 00:26:12

the Sheikh man takes it to empire?

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

Because he could have said, oh, you know,

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

follow with the 4 partners. How about if

00:26:18 --> 00:26:19

they were wrong?

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

And there are other other that says that

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

how about if they are not guided.

00:26:24 --> 00:26:26

You know? But I chose this one because

00:26:26 --> 00:26:28

it's really because it's poking him. How about

00:26:28 --> 00:26:30

if they have if they if they go

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

to hellfire, are you gonna still follow them?

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

They rejected the aftermath.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

You know, they rejected the hereafter. They said

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

there's no resurrection. That's it. Once we hit

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

the ground, just like nowadays. Right? People tell

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

you there's no no

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

what once you hit the ground,

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

you know, they, they joke. They tell you

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

they're all dressed up and nowhere to go

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

because they they dressed the dead, you know,

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

up and all of this. So I know

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55

where to go because for them, this is

00:26:55 --> 00:26:56

the end of it. Well, the Arabs had

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

similar belief.

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

And look at the argument that's proposed.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

And they said this is Islam.

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

And if we are if we were bones

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

and

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

shattered old, you know,

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

old bones, meaning that's it.

00:27:18 --> 00:27:21

After time, it becomes crumbling bone the bones.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

Are we going to be resurrected again, brought

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

back as a new creation?

00:27:27 --> 00:27:28

Very highly unlikely.

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

Al Khurr Hajjar had to say, Al Hawat

00:27:32 --> 00:27:32

says,

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

be if you were

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

stones or iron,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:39

creation

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

that's that you think is way too much

00:27:42 --> 00:27:45

for it to be returned, to be resurrected.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

They will say, who's gonna bring us back?

00:27:52 --> 00:27:53

What's the answer? The

00:27:55 --> 00:27:57

one who created you in the first place.

00:27:57 --> 00:27:59

Try to argue with that

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

because you either came from somewhere

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

or you did not come from somewhere.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

If you came from somewhere, meaning Allah has

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

had a major. There's a creator who made

00:28:08 --> 00:28:09

you,

00:28:09 --> 00:28:10

you know, then

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

bringing you back is,

00:28:13 --> 00:28:16

you know, but it's easier. You already have

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

material to work with, You know? But and

00:28:19 --> 00:28:22

and that's exactly the the argument that Allah

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

proposes. They

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

will say, who's gonna bring us back?

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

Say the one who

00:28:31 --> 00:28:32

in the first place.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:33

You know?

00:28:36 --> 00:28:38

Then they are going to

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

move their heads in arrogance and in wonder

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

that, you know,

00:28:44 --> 00:28:47

where who what is gonna take place?

00:28:47 --> 00:28:48

You know?

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

Say, it will be soon.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

Now what is soon?

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

Just soon. It's only fun. It can it

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

can be when,

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

just, an idea of what soon means. When

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

our says birth was.

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

I was sent with the hour, with the

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

day of judgment

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

like this, meaning

00:29:09 --> 00:29:10

back to back. But here we are. I

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

mean, we are we are talking about, 1400

00:29:13 --> 00:29:13

years later.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

So all of these are relative terms. But

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

the idea is the argument that is,

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

that is presented.

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

We are we gonna go come back to

00:29:23 --> 00:29:24

the from from the dead? Who's gonna bring

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

us back? The one who created you in

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

the first place.

00:29:27 --> 00:29:30

You know? And that's the argument. Look at

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

the it's worth it. It'll,

00:29:32 --> 00:29:33

you see. You

00:29:37 --> 00:29:38

know?

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

And this is actually one of the, the

00:29:42 --> 00:29:45

leaders of the the island worshipers in Mecca,

00:29:46 --> 00:29:47

and

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

took an old bow,

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

you know, crumbled it in front of it,

00:29:52 --> 00:29:53

and it it it flew in the in

00:29:53 --> 00:29:56

the the wind. So he said, yeah,

00:29:59 --> 00:30:01

Muhammad, so your lord is gonna bring this

00:30:01 --> 00:30:04

back, this crumbled thing back to after its

00:30:04 --> 00:30:04

death.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:07

You

00:30:09 --> 00:30:11

know, say and he said,

00:30:13 --> 00:30:15

and he gave an example, and he forgot

00:30:15 --> 00:30:16

about his own creation.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

He said, who will bring their bones back

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

when they are all, you know, crumbled and

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

weather weather the way? What do you

00:30:25 --> 00:30:25

yeah.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:29

Say the one who, you know, created it,

00:30:29 --> 00:30:30

made it in the first place,

00:30:30 --> 00:30:32

you know, is the one who will resurrect

00:30:32 --> 00:30:33

it.

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

And he is most knowledgeable

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

about every creation.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

He's the creator of the world.

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

They said they had to practice. We've talked

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

about the eye the worst the the

00:30:48 --> 00:30:51

killing the the infant, you know, the female

00:30:51 --> 00:30:52

infants. And

00:30:56 --> 00:30:57

if the the

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

the one the female

00:31:01 --> 00:31:04

baby who's buried alive is asked, what harm

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

did she commit?

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

You know, what sin did she commit that

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

she would deserve such thing? You know, criticizing

00:31:12 --> 00:31:14

the practice that that was in in Mecca.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

In other words,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:19

the dua of was not simply a you

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

know, he engaged them with their belief system,

00:31:21 --> 00:31:22

in their practices,

00:31:23 --> 00:31:25

in their and and even now when we

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

come to one statement that shows you just

00:31:27 --> 00:31:28

how aggressive

00:31:29 --> 00:31:30

the the power of Islam

00:31:31 --> 00:31:32

was,

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

for it. I mean, let's take a couple

00:31:34 --> 00:31:35

of examples.

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

Because the

00:31:40 --> 00:31:40

you know,

00:31:41 --> 00:31:42

the Quran talks about

00:31:43 --> 00:31:44

Waja Khaduha

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

was say,

00:31:47 --> 00:31:47

and

00:31:48 --> 00:31:49

they rejected the message

00:31:50 --> 00:31:52

while inside, they were certain

00:31:53 --> 00:31:54

that it was true.

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

Why did they rejected

00:31:56 --> 00:31:57

Gulman injustice

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

Istin Mirakim injustice, warluwah,

00:32:00 --> 00:32:00

arrogance?

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

And that's in Islam.

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

People who are presenting the message of Islam,

00:32:06 --> 00:32:07

they really have to be

00:32:08 --> 00:32:11

they have to humble themselves almost to accept

00:32:11 --> 00:32:12

the message.

00:32:12 --> 00:32:15

You know? Because it's going to go against

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

whatever you believe in. If the evidence is

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

strong,

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

if the proofs are strong, that this is

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

the how this is the truth, this is

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

what what's right, etcetera.

00:32:24 --> 00:32:27

You have to you have to humble yourself

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

to almost parallel

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

so that you will submit to it.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:33

Knowing that doesn't matter where what your status

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

was before Islam.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

Now you are just one of the,

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

you know, the the rest of the the

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

Muslim woman. It doesn't matter how, you know,

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

etcetera etcetera. So,

00:32:46 --> 00:32:49

and that's why these people who rejected the

00:32:49 --> 00:32:49

message,

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

the people of Christ rejected the message knowing

00:32:53 --> 00:32:55

their question. And we will talk about, some

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

some of the evidence for that. But

00:32:58 --> 00:32:59

look at the the,

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

just we're talking about tough address.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

You know, woe to you and what you

00:33:09 --> 00:33:11

worship aside from all.

00:33:11 --> 00:33:13

You have no minds, can't you think?

00:33:14 --> 00:33:15

You know, not only that.

00:33:21 --> 00:33:23

You and what you worship other than Allah

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

are the fuel of hellfire,

00:33:25 --> 00:33:26

and you will be in it.

00:33:27 --> 00:33:28

You know?

00:33:33 --> 00:33:35

If these were truly gods, they would not

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

be going to empire.

00:33:38 --> 00:33:40

And and all of you, them you and

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

the gods

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

are going to be there for

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

eternity.

00:33:47 --> 00:33:48

Has a fear.

00:33:49 --> 00:33:50

The pain is so severe

00:33:51 --> 00:33:52

that they sigh,

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

and they cannot hear anymore from the the

00:33:55 --> 00:33:55

pain.

00:33:59 --> 00:34:01

And the people whom Allah

00:34:01 --> 00:34:04

bestows his blessings upon will remove them from

00:34:04 --> 00:34:05

hellfire.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

And but the and they will

00:34:10 --> 00:34:13

not even hear the sound of empire

00:34:13 --> 00:34:15

or anything that's really good, and they are

00:34:16 --> 00:34:17

they will be,

00:34:18 --> 00:34:19

in the, basically,

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

living in it forever. But the point look

00:34:22 --> 00:34:23

at the address. And

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

you and what you worship are the fuel

00:34:27 --> 00:34:29

of empire. This is a very strong address.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:30

This is not a a,

00:34:31 --> 00:34:32

a very strong statement.

00:34:32 --> 00:34:35

And, of course, oil did not take it

00:34:35 --> 00:34:36

lightly.

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

You know? And that led

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

to a series of reactions.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

I would just mention the first one maybe,

00:34:45 --> 00:34:45

and then,

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

then we'll stop just because of the time.

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

Even he showed reporting the CRO from a.

00:34:54 --> 00:34:55

And this is, of course, now the the

00:34:55 --> 00:34:57

first item, the reaction of

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

Aish was, 1, to stop pressuring

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

his,

00:35:02 --> 00:35:05

uncle Abu Ma'am. You know, they started pressuring

00:35:05 --> 00:35:06

him, give up Mohammed

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

because, again, he was in the protection of

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

his uncle. So give him up. So look

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

at the now, if an is

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

not giving them, he's not pleasing them. He's

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

not trying to get on their good side.

00:35:22 --> 00:35:23

You know? And

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

now they they were very unhappy because

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

he left their ways, you know, even though

00:35:30 --> 00:35:31

I

00:35:31 --> 00:35:34

never did what they were doing. You know?

00:35:34 --> 00:35:35

Why?

00:35:35 --> 00:35:37

And he started attacking and criticizing

00:35:37 --> 00:35:40

their guards, and they saw that his uncle,

00:35:41 --> 00:35:42

you know, was protecting

00:35:42 --> 00:35:44

him. So and he did not hand them

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

over to them. So some of the leaders

00:35:46 --> 00:35:48

of Quraish, they want Abu Ghaleb. They said,

00:35:48 --> 00:35:49

yeah, Abu Ghaleb.

00:35:50 --> 00:35:51

Look at that what they said.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

Your nephew,

00:35:54 --> 00:35:55

accept

00:35:55 --> 00:35:56

the.

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

Do not he cursed our our gods.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

And this, by the way, was cursing the

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

gods of the was in the beginning of

00:36:03 --> 00:36:05

the dawah. Then Allah

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

said, you know, And do not curse or

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

do not,

00:36:13 --> 00:36:15

you know, do not curse the people, you

00:36:15 --> 00:36:16

know,

00:36:16 --> 00:36:19

the people that they worship aside from Allah

00:36:19 --> 00:36:21

so that they wouldn't curse this so that

00:36:21 --> 00:36:22

they would not curse Allah

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

without knowledge.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:28

And because the even when the Rasool was

00:36:28 --> 00:36:30

cursing their gods, they said, if you're gonna

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

curse our gods, we're gonna curse your own.

00:36:32 --> 00:36:34

Yeah. But why did they give them a

00:36:34 --> 00:36:35

heads up? Because they believe in

00:36:36 --> 00:36:38

They they they believe in Allah. They did

00:36:38 --> 00:36:40

not they were not atheists.

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

They believed in God, but they believed in

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

worshiping other gods with him,

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

you know, alongside or to get him to

00:36:47 --> 00:36:50

get them closer to to that to the

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

to Allah.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:52

So

00:36:53 --> 00:36:54

was cursing them

00:36:54 --> 00:36:55

cursing their gods, and they said, if you're

00:36:55 --> 00:36:57

gonna do this, we're gonna do this. So

00:36:57 --> 00:36:58

all the time is gonna

00:36:59 --> 00:36:59

do so

00:37:00 --> 00:37:02

they're not curse them. And by the way,

00:37:02 --> 00:37:03

from from this hadith

00:37:05 --> 00:37:06

or from this area, excuse me,

00:37:08 --> 00:37:11

the scholars took the the rule that what

00:37:11 --> 00:37:12

leads to Haram becomes

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

Haram. If something leads to Haram, it becomes

00:37:16 --> 00:37:19

Haram. So they these people, they said if

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

you are if you curse Allah if we

00:37:21 --> 00:37:23

if you curse our gods, we curse Allah.

00:37:23 --> 00:37:23

So

00:37:24 --> 00:37:26

cursing their gods was allowed.

00:37:26 --> 00:37:29

But Allah said, you know, it's gonna lead

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

to something that's Haram, and therefore

00:37:31 --> 00:37:32

you know? And then that's a wound from

00:37:32 --> 00:37:34

it. So anything that leads to haram

00:37:35 --> 00:37:37

becomes haram. That's the rule for it. And

00:37:37 --> 00:37:39

similarly, by the way, it's taken from the

00:37:39 --> 00:37:40

hadith in in Bukhary

00:37:41 --> 00:37:42

that the Rasulullah

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

says cursed the one who curses his own

00:37:45 --> 00:37:45

parents.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

The one who curses his own parents.

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

They said, oh,

00:37:51 --> 00:37:54

how would a person curse his own parents?

00:37:54 --> 00:37:55

He said,

00:38:00 --> 00:38:02

That you curse somebody's father and they they

00:38:02 --> 00:38:03

curse your father.

00:38:03 --> 00:38:05

And then you curse his mother and they

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

curse your mother. You know? And by that,

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

you did that you did that. And, again,

00:38:10 --> 00:38:13

this is another evidence for what leads to

00:38:13 --> 00:38:15

harm is harm. So, you know,

00:38:16 --> 00:38:17

this is always

00:38:18 --> 00:38:18

the case.

00:38:19 --> 00:38:21

And, of course, it has got some conditions

00:38:21 --> 00:38:24

and then something, but generally speaking. So

00:38:24 --> 00:38:26

so what do you say?

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

He said that he cursed our our our

00:38:28 --> 00:38:29

gods.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

And ridiculed our religion.

00:38:34 --> 00:38:37

And he ridiculed our our, minds, our way

00:38:37 --> 00:38:37

of thinking.

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

And pulled our forefathers astray.

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

That

00:38:46 --> 00:38:47

you either stop him

00:38:48 --> 00:38:49

from doing this

00:38:49 --> 00:38:49

or

00:38:50 --> 00:38:52

let us have our way with him. You

00:38:52 --> 00:38:53

know? So

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

sent him away diplomatically.

00:38:56 --> 00:38:58

He did not, you know,

00:38:59 --> 00:39:01

confront him. Then they offered them another offer.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:03

They said, how about if we give you

00:39:03 --> 00:39:06

a handsome man, young man, you know, that

00:39:06 --> 00:39:09

you you know so you give us Muhammad.

00:39:09 --> 00:39:10

His.

00:39:10 --> 00:39:12

So, basically, we'll kill him. You know, we'll

00:39:12 --> 00:39:13

give us Mohammed,

00:39:13 --> 00:39:16

and we'll give you a a a handsome

00:39:16 --> 00:39:18

man, you know, to in in his place.

00:39:18 --> 00:39:21

So, and they were referring to him.

00:39:23 --> 00:39:25

You know, from one of the children of

00:39:25 --> 00:39:26

the leaders of.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:28

So he said, I give you my son

00:39:28 --> 00:39:30

to kill him, and you give me your

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

son so I can feed him.

00:39:32 --> 00:39:34

You know? And this is not going to

00:39:34 --> 00:39:36

happen. So, of course, he turned it down.

00:39:36 --> 00:39:37

You know?

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

But that we are that that was part

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

of the

00:39:41 --> 00:39:43

one of the responses in.

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

Of course, there's

00:39:46 --> 00:39:48

a so next time with, we'll talk about

00:39:48 --> 00:39:51

the what the question to the and the

00:39:51 --> 00:39:51

companions.

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

And if not next time, maybe the one

00:39:54 --> 00:39:56

after it, we'll start talking about how to

00:39:56 --> 00:39:58

apply this to our reality today

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

because we are living in a Muslim society.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:02

And,

00:40:03 --> 00:40:05

we need to look at the

00:40:06 --> 00:40:07

as a guide and see where

00:40:08 --> 00:40:09

you know, how we can

00:40:09 --> 00:40:12

carry our and fulfill our Islamic duties

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

in the way that is, consistent with the.

00:40:16 --> 00:40:18

So part of the problem is,
