Salam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah Castle How you guys doing? Welcome to the seventh session of the intellectual theater, the critical set, I call it what you'd like. But what we're going to call it here is the multidisciplinary approach to the Sierra studies. That's what we're trying to do here. Actually, we've been doing a lot of that which is looking at psychological studies, we look at historical aspects, we look at philosophical aspects. And we've been trying to synthesize, amalgamate and merge all of those things into creating a product, which is new novel and original for the people to consume. Today, insha, Allah, we're going to be covering one of the final
chapters, the penultimate rounds of the Meccan period. In fact, this is hopefully going to be the second last thing on the Meccan period. And then after that, we'll go into the next session. The final thing in the second period, we move on to the medina in periods and today Insha Allah, we're going to be talking about some key moments in the life of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. For example, we're going to be speaking about the conversion of amadablam hottub to Islam, we're going to be speaking about the migration of the Muslim people to Abbott's Ania. And in fact, there were two migrations. So we're going to be explicating, some of those, and some other issues,
which are extremely important for our purposes. One of them. The last thing we're going to be covering today is the boycott. We talked about boycotts now with Gaza and all these kind of things. Yes, we're going to be speaking about when the Prophet Muhammad Solomon's hub, and the companions are, in fact, boycotted themselves. And so all of those things are extremely important and can be practically looked at, in light of some of the things that we're going through today, especially visa vie the Gaza crisis, which is now definitely going to reach the history books. So it's an important thing to comment on as well. So the first thing I want to remind you of is the prophesy
solos lineage. And we're doing this every week.
This if you want to take a look at in the slides, this is this is the lineage of the Prophet Muhammad wa salaam, because you don't need to know the whole name. But if you know some of those names, it would be good. If you want to pause the video and do that you're on time, then go ahead and do that.
And we're going to jump straight into it by saying that actually there's with the conversion of honorable hardtop. There's a lot of stories. Unfortunately, on either my research I found a lot authentic. Now that doesn't mean doesn't have that
didn't mean that that story did not take place but it just means that the Hadith does not reach the level of authenticity, which ones are we talking about? In particular, there is a Hadith, which said that the Prophet Muhammad wa salam, O Allah Maha was going to the Prophet then he saw his sister, you know, reading sort of Taha, and so on, and the most half and her husband and then he battered them and beat them and all this kind of things. And then after he felt sorry for him afterwards, he went to the Prophet and then he became Muslim.
This story is that there's not as authentic effectively and most scholars of Hadith don't accept that this story is authentic. However, it doesn't mean to say there was nothing narrated authentically about the conversion of armor. So what I found, and in the beginning, we spoke about this, what kind of sources are we going to cover in terms of the authentic prophets Sierra?
And this is a great Halley's Kitab Ibrahim lollies wrote a book about the Serbs here, Sierra, it's very useful to be honest, because what he does is he puts footnotes to each of the Hadith and you can see what the authenticity of it is. And so on the section where it's talking about the
conversion of Muhammad will have tab there is the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad wa salam which is is authentic, which is an alumni that Islam.
We have beheading or giulini like. So he said, the Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem made the Hadith, that Oh Allah, you know, ISIL Islam, give miton honor and dignity to Islam with one of these two men, or the one of them who is most beloved to you. And it's talking about the two armors either will or honorable hopped up, because it has real name is actually Amara as well. So this is the first thing and I want to pause here and and think about this with you guys. Because there's a very interesting principle.
And the principle at play is that actually, the prophets are salaam understood the fact that there's human beings are social creatures, when you have charismatic individuals that become Muslim, influential and charismatic individuals that become Muslim, that this has an impact on the entire society. So he actually made that from that perspective, because he realized that having a strong, influential leader at a time where they were minorities would actually increase and better and strengthen the case of Al Islam, sociologically, and the opposite is also true by the way, like for example, Allah subhanaw taala mentions or Katella in metal coffee in the Himalaya, amen. Allahu
Allah, Allah means that I'm Fight, fight the LI
He does have a cover of disbelief.
Robert Greene in his book, 48 Laws of Power, one of the laws that he puts his that strike the shepherd and the sheep would scatter. You, you, you strike the shepherd, and the sheep was getting out as panic and I have discussed and I agree with TEDx. Mashallah, writing a book, almost a reputation. And I agree with this approach to this Machiavellian crass Machiavellian approach of the 48 Laws of Power. Because it's bereft of the honor and the spirit that we really believe in actually, I would add to that criticism on the 48 Laws of Power. And this is a tangent point, but and all of Robert Greene's books is that really Machiavellianism as it were, or consequentialism.
And these kinds of things are only really applicable or even functional. When people have big guns or big money. If you try and implement a lot of these 48 Laws of Power with your wife, and there's a lot of people using the red pill, you've moved on using it with their wife and using with their friends, and trying to leverage their own friends and these kinds of stupid things. It doesn't work because you don't have big guns and you don't have big consequences. In fact, the prince that was written by Machiavelli, okay, there is a small book called The prince, it was actually meant for princes, it wasn't meant for the laypeople. And that was for a reason because the lay people cannot
implement these kinds of things and try and twist your arms, friend's arm and do this, and the other.
But the point I was making is that there are some of these laws which are continually true, which is, for example, this consequential law that if you try and take out the leaders of a certain place, you strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. And that is in the Quran, or Cartullo, or in botanical, in The Hamlet, amen along, lament on the end, the big leaders of the coastal identify that number one, we have these conversations off camera, we always ask, who are the ones we have to go after next? We spoke to this one we spoke to that one we went to this one went to that show, and congratulations on Lucifer the show mashallah that you went to and to the top TV, and you've made
mincemeat of these two individuals that,
you know,
that was military themselves. However, this is a principle at play, you've got to think about is better to take out a guy that people think or people that people think are top guys then then the layperson.
So yes, the profit made to for that and his daughter was accepted.
That could have been that that wasn't accepted, because in Nicoletta him and Alberto were like in the lucha de Maya,
Yanni, it could be that Allah didn't accept because the issue of guidance, you know, it's not always the case that the prophet has a go getter he wants in terms of who gets guided, and we spoke about that but case of Abu Talib last time,
however, this time, it was accepted and it was accepted. In the case of Omar Abdullah tab, it really does the closest thing to a strong Hadith that I've come across
is
actually first of all, before that, there was a very interesting the province I saw as Hadith I've also come across which it will have an ally mentions in his book, yes, that the prophets so I'm said,
May Allah take out what's in his heart. He so he's struggling to take out what's in his heart of will of resentment,
you know, and
I basically said that three times and he's struggling. So this is a Hadith which he mentions, and he reckons it says, Hey, Hadith.
Another Hadith which is interesting is and this is the closest thing to a conversion story, which is authentic, which I've come across. And this isn't a tuber Ronnie's
book. A lot of scholars have accepted this authenticity. Obviously I've mentioned it when an ally mentions in his book and he recommends this. So Hadith,
which is
the problem is our solemn was reciting one day in Aqaba sort of Hapa the 70th sort of the Quran, honorable Hip Hop started listening. And he became entranced by this and he was very found that wonderous, after that, he went after the Prophet Muhammad Sal Salam. And
he, because in his mind a lot of the objections that he had
were being answered by the if the Quran
in the hola hola sunnah Karim. That is certainly the words of a Noble Messenger or Maha via holy Shire is not the the words because he thought in his mind, okay, maybe it's a poet that put this together. So straight away Subhanallah The idea is not the it's not the speech of a poet. So each of the objections of being responded to like that. So this is the strongest Hadith that we have to about almost converting a lot of Hadees actually about Amata or false especially about before he became Muslim. One of them is actually the Hadith, the Shia I use a lot of the music to show that the try and deprecate and diminish and embrace the character
by saying that,
for example, you know when he had a daughter that his daughter, you know, he buried his daughter in the fries were either in Modesto so it'd be a them being fortunate. Allah He reprimands, those people used to kill that infanticide. It killed their own daughters. And so one of the Hadith I mentioned is
that he had thesis dive week that he killed his own daughter. And right before she died, she was drugged with grabbing onto his bed and these kinds of things. And we're going to speak about armored rehab after the series maybe some other time where we'll go into more detail about his character because he's a phenomenal character. This man was a mountain, you know, both physically and intellectually. And I'm also Ali Ali, Tao, who just came into the, the room. Now we're talking about when he was he was a man that made a mark in this community, certainly one of the most influential.
So yes, he became a Muslim. And then
some some of the Sahaba and this came very interesting
that they stated that Allah He dignified and gave honor to the Muslim people when honorable Hatha became a Muslim. Now, this is a very significant thing to be said.
It shows you the importance and the power of personalities. Now we say look, even if it was outside, you know, whoever Mecanim was Jennifer's is fairly standard women, PubMed and highlight Valley and fitna or something like this, which is that whoever wants to follow someone follow the one who died because the living one, you don't know the fitna might afflict them. So on one perspective, yeah, we shouldn't be attached to figures so much because if we are attached to figures, then it can destroy our Eman and so on. But from another perspective, that's there's harbor acknowledged that when almost became a Muslim, they gave additional eyes and dignity and honor to their Muslim people. So
we do need figures to come out and take that role to a lesser extent, of course, that honorable hottub and the Companions took, which is to give Isaiah to the Muslim people, is very important thing that Muslim people can do is aim and aspire to be in their community as Ahmad was in his, which is to give dignity and honor to the Muslim people.
So although a club became a Muslim,
now, at the same time, in the Meccan period, the Prophet Muhammad wa salam suffered a lot of psychological abuse.
And they would give him they would give him a hard time, they will say bad words about him, they would abuse him. And the law revealed so many is one of them is in that cafe Anika al Musa has seen that. Certainly we have sufficed you with those who mock and this is why very applicable to our times nowadays, even in the social media, because we're getting attacked, the Muslim community as a whole is getting attacked in the West. And also, this whole Palestine conflict has highlighted that a tremendous level and accentuated level.
And the question is, how did the Prophet Muhammad salallahu Alaihe Salam, what is the Islamic way of dealing with that, of being abused? Like that? You will find and we saw this in the previous session, when we were speaking about it, the prophet sometimes was very fiery in his response, when we were talking about which, who remembers, what was the statement? That was? Yes.
It was a warning that he said he will kill you see.
I came to slaughter. Yeah. These guys were they were trying to attack him, or how did he respond? He wasn't he didn't have an army. At this time. We spoke about what he said about that. He was speaking specifically to these people who are abusing him not to older people. Yes, a jet to convince them I came to slaughter.
He didn't come and say well get slapped me in the left. Anything I'll give you the right didn't do that. Even in the Meccan period, it was the same period where the weakness happening and they were trying to abuse the properties of logic to make that happen. Sometimes we would ignore it. Sometimes you'd be strategic, he would employ whatever strategy worked at the time. But this pacifist persona that they've tried to create the bull's eye salon, especially in the Meccan period is a false one.
It's a false one. And in fact, the Quran mentions what know how to Islam done. When the people were mocking him. Who knows what I'm talking about.
Don't leave any of them behind. Not that's something else. But before that. They were literally mocking him and it says in Tesco Mina, for in there. That's haram income come at us. Hello. This is a very interesting principle. No, I was getting no no. And this is for a long time, we believe hundreds of years. He was being abused psychologically and not just him his community which is minority communities, Muslims, because it's been so many
interest phenomena if you're going to mock us
For INEC, so we're going to mock you like you mock us.
This isn't the Quran. Some people say, Why are you mocking that guy? Why are you doing this while doing that? I'm saying no are you better than him?
When the person I look up to them with the highlights in the prophets, Allah
when the process Islam responded, and when we go to the medieval period or get even more
serious, frankly, so what? That didn't happen, so they try and create a pacifist religion
because temperamentally they've been smashed.
And they're trying to Astana with the Meccan period of what look how they sub in the Meccan period, and this and that, and looking period, I can show you the fair share of eight and a hadith and so on where the prophet was very fiery back to these people made against them. Yes, I
know, that's one sort of says. So today, those who believe will offer the disbelievers like it's yeah, people think this is like weird, but he does. But he says that you should do the same. So there'll be some requirements, logical. Still, the point is what that we will see how they've been paid off or what they don't.
So here's the lesson to be learned is Allah was consoling above and this is a beautiful thing about the Quran, how we see that Allah is consoling the prophet, which shows you something important about the prophets and our celebs character
that he did not suffer from psychopathy, and other sounds like a very
trivial point for some people.
But he wasn't a psychopath. Because let me explain. I know this sounds. Have you ever seen interviews with psychopaths?
When funnily enough Piers Morgan, people, that whole series with them, maybe he took so many of the attributes, because because of his insensitivity, as Musa kept saying, In the interview, stop being insensitive, you know.
He said that so many times in the interview the next morning, as my wife said, something I said stopping you don't be so insensitive.
But what I was saying was that if you watch and this isn't a very interesting thing, bro. Go home and watch an interview with a psychopath. You know, when people say I don't care what people think. I never believe it. Unless you're a psychopath. You will always care what other people think. You're a social creature. And the Prophet Muhammad wa salam cared what we were doing with duction Ness, Allah wa and Tasha. This is in salt. Allah zap. Allah says about the Prophet and this is about Xena marriage to him. Yeah. And we'll talk about that in the future. That you fear the people. Allah is reprimanding the Prophet Muhammad wa salam said, you fear the people and Allah is more
deserving the fame.
is, I think one incident the prophets, Saddam was walking away with working with his wife. It was a dark time. So he stopped work to a guy and he said, This is my wife. Yeah, this one's a little bit different. Because what I'm talking about here is, you're right, he because he said that the Chopin runs in your thing, but I'm not talking about that. I'm saying that. The question is, when they attack the prophet, and we're going to speak about this in the next session, little bit more with PIF and so on. But when they hurled psychological abuse, was he affected by it? Yes, he was affected by it. If someone says no, he wasn't affected by it, then this is actually not a proper
representation of the psychology of the Prophet himself. He was hurt by a few guys. He was hurt by it. And that's normal and natural. And it's part of the fitna of the what Allah has prescribed for the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu. So that's why Allah revealed those as in the cafe and I can muster as in well as Uncle ADINA, you said I wanna fill cough do not let these people who are chasing a disbelief
Yeah, zonca.
Make you review Oh, Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said, Well, yeah, but that's a little bit different. was still the case, that he was very concerned
that Allah Kobelco nasaka Allah You mean will be headed Hadith eSFR that you're going to? Are you going to kill yourself? That they did not believe in this?
This the speech
of ALLAH, ALLAH SubhanA. Allah, you know, another verse that they won't believe same thing, but yeah, so the Prophet was, he was definitely concerned. And when people held abuse at him, it's incorrect to say that he was like a robot. He did nothing. He didn't touch him. Everything was water off a duck's duck's back. No, it wasn't. It didn't hurt him. And he complained about it. Yes. What about things that she killed hands up? Like it was to the level to the level where he was like, Yeah, I can't I can't see you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So but what I'm saying is this is that now in the age of social media, people will say, Oh, I don't care what people think everyone cares what
everyone else thinks, but depends on how significant the other person is. How many views it gets. It's only normal and natural. Oh, you shouldn't care what they think. Don't say that to people. Of course. Of course. They're gonna care what people think that is a shallow understanding of human psychology. There
cause human people care about other human people being
the prophets Allah. If you can't, then we will all care. Unless we're psychopaths, and it's not good. And we're talking about Robert Greene. And he actually wrote a book called human nature. And I read that book cover to cover.
And honestly, he has some interesting insights. But he says something interesting. He said, someone who's not empathetic, and to be a psychopath is not to be empathetic. By the way, if you have psychopathy, you cannot be empathetic. Because to be empathetic, or sympathetic, empathetic is to put yourself in other people's shoes. Sympathetic is to feel pity for other people, right? But to be empathetic, you can't be a psychopath, a psychopath is bereft of empathetic skills. He makes an interesting point, which is that it's unstressed Dziedzic. So if you don't have the ability to empathize, if if Allah created in the profiles, Arsalan did, he thought that he doesn't care what
everyone thinks, and that way, then it would be on strategic why. And it's a very interesting thing that he mentioned, he mentioned that,
because you can never predict what the other person is going to do. Because you don't, you can't put yourself in their shoes, so you can't predict what they're gonna do.
Does that make sense, you can never predict the next action of Person B, it's a very interesting point. You cannot be a good strategic wrist. If you if you don't have empathetic skills, because you don't know if I if I do this to a well, how is he going to react and it will destroy your personal life. So the fact that Allah has put that into the empathetic skills, and the sympathetic skills in the product and and not made him into some kind of a psychopath is an important thing for us to realize. The point that, yes, he was in fact,
abused, or that there were words of abuse held at him so many, the woman came to me for more than men.
And Subhan Allah is amazing how the prophets of salaam reacted, we said that the person Salam didn't exhibit traits of psychopathy, but he also didn't exhibit traits of what they call nowadays, as narcissism. Let me explain. Do you know, a lot of times when people attack the Prophet SAW Salem and Islam in general, they talk about the blasphemy laws. And if you look at some of the developed arguments of these people, some of them will say, look at the price or some couldn't tolerate criticism if we had to kill everybody.
Yeah, that's effectively in a very crass way. But
look, I'm gonna give you two examples. And a lot of naff actually use these examples to show that there is no blasphemy if someone who is for example, a Christian or a Jew, mentions blasphemy words, that they're not to be killed or anything happens. That's that's an opinion Islam. I can show you the I can show you the evidence. But the point is this is that there's two there's very two very interesting things. Number one, where the person came from or someone called them with them now as your Mohammed means the press one, well, that means that this press one, so she tried to insult him.
Now, how did you react to that?
Did you start swearing and shouting and said Who you talking to like that? Do you know? Do you know who I am and start smacking and punching. Now he didn't do any of they said, No, he completely ignored
effectively. The other situation is and this happens in the medina period, but also mentioned here is when the group of Jewish people at the time
came to the Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem, and started abusing him instead of saying salaam Aleykum Selam Aleykum
that means the death be upon salam means please death Sam is peace. So I shall La Jolla and she started abusing them. Like she slides in swearing at them any cussing them effectively, because the wife of the Prophet she couldn't tolerate someone speaking like that, but her husband which shows you a good wife is someone who you know
who has that kind of quality. Some some wives would like this is a continue my friend continue.
So then what the point is, I'm saying he said, Matt, can that difficulty che in lezana? Oh man, Rosie ahref comin shaitan Illa Shana who is Hadith Buhari said that don't Don't say that. He said just if they give you be proportionate if they swear at you, and somewhat eloquently say while they can just say and you to be proportionate. That is a proportionate response.
But to say all of these curse words and stuff, you're now you're showing too much emotion here. So he's showing us how to deal with insult. And then he said something beautiful said that a zip code, which effectively means gentleness. He said gentleness was not in anything, except that it beautified it, and it wasn't removed from anything except that it made it ugly.
So he's saying that there's there's a classy way of responding to insults.
And sometimes, this is gonna sound very controversial, but we have to throw in a bit of controversy sometimes otherwise it will get dull.
Sometimes
elegance is in the profanity.
Sometimes you got to get dirty, sometimes clean to get day. Sometimes you got to be a bit mocking and this and that and go deep go below the belt.
And I will mention some of these but maybe some of the times were the prophets of Salaam and Alibaug and others when went for it. But I'm not going to do it now because
it's going to disturb the course of discussion. But what I'm saying to you is, sometimes elegance can be in the
in being a little bit sorry to say, not gonna say in the profanity because that would be a bit crass but in the
lack of elegance in a way from one perspective, but if you if you be profane, in from one perspective, Yanni, for example, if someone came in said something to your wife or something, your mother, it's not the same as if someone came and said something to you. You use words, like if you said the same thing in this context in the context number two, then I would question your manhood
you know, I mean,
so sometimes you have to be with profane but you decide when to do that.
But not in a bad way. By saying anything swear words, this is not allowed in the slang but you can insult humiliate somebody or mock them in a very classy manner.
How did he tell me?
I managed to get some tips. No, Oscar Wilde is famous for his comebacks. And he was a playwright and back in the 19th century, and he's got a litany of comebacks, which you know, on someone else, come back? Sure. In Arabic poetry, there's a whole genre called El hijab,
which is effectively just insults. You see what they say to each other, but it's very, and there were top guys in there.
In those whose Okpala
Yeah, and there's another one who the two guys is the well known chef, can you give us something?
Who this example was a good example about the celebrity I think you said it before I was asking you about it.
There was a poet. He mentioned the following I'll translate it to Leah Amro he's talking to a guy called Tamil if you want Ceccato Do you have a long face? Well, he will do he will kill Abby toto dogs have loved faces, then macabre I'll kill Buffy Catherine the bad things within a dog Jani apparent within you.
What at a zoo, that that those bad things about the dog at least the dark has the potential the possibility that it will be deprived from them but it will never you will never be deprived or
will be shot on sight it has meaning that the dog has a couple of good traits
hamaca Allah wa rasuluh that Allah azza wa jal protected you from those good traits
that the dog is issued we often refer
to often a dog as a loyal Wi Fi veteran. And but your other hand Traitor, traitor.
Fee can produce food that you are way beneath the status of a dog. One thing remaining
at when we look at your family.
Your family is the worst.
Sounds like me.
One time Ben Ali. So in the Sutton Sutton tutorial, the bad situation about your family is a long and lengthy story
ever meaning that if you look at their faces, they're so ugly to the end that
that person remembers the day of judgment after that
will never ever gotten
back into accountable but when you look at the back of the necks, they are used as drums meaning that
then he mentioned Mr. Phelan Musa and I'm fine and myself and in fact, it doesn't contain any meaning in itself. It's what we call Ozanne. It's the only way to know the poem. So when suffering and fighting for older than 75 and for older Beighton it's a verse within this poet
come Annika delivers the meaning of your life meaning that you don't have money, maybe
that's just an example.
But Mercury is also mentioned in the Quran by Allah
Like for example, for methyl who can methylene kelp in Tamil Allah He YLF winter truco.
Very powerful verse soaking about some of the Monash actually. Well, if you read these verses before, I cannot remember the verses that come right before but very powerful.
Faster. There's a circular example as well, from how to negotiate when a Roman emperor or I think subordinates of the Romans, listen to him. So he said something amazing, said min Harun or Rashid amela, meaning like full came from the first line. But it took Etobicoke coffee
translated for us, they said, from hold on Oct. The leader of the believers, to Nick for the dog of Rome. I read your letter, you son of a Kaffir Calphalon this believer and the response is what you see without what you hear without seeing it, or the opposite.
There was one particular one which I found really interesting, I don't want to go into too deep detail about this. But 1111 guy said it to another guy and he dropped dead. Did you know do you know which one he dropped dead from it?
Yeah, I need to find it to find this one poet from WHO? He said it to another poet. And then the guy heard it and he had a heart attack.
But the verse I was sending you is in Tamil Allah here, Martha Martha Luca methylene kelp.
This ball had Ebola and this verse is amazing because can you can someone get me the verse because before it there's another thing

the show? Yeah, but what's the star? How do you? How do you how do you translate your style?
Yeah, indirectly linking. That's beautiful. Yeah, he's indirectly linking it. So for example, for example.
What's the what's the word Muhammad that was the famous thing about the person who needs
money. So he showed his clothes. If I say for example, someone showed the clothes. I'm not using. The thing that
directly I'm using an indirect reference. So Allah in the first part, he's indirect reference to the mall. He's analyzing this behavior. He's analyzing it saying Look, you're acting like an animal, right? Like the more that goes under the ground, then he doesn't direct similarly. Because now similarly right, with the kelp with a dog, so masala who can I sell kelp internally, elf winter truco el has. So he's saying that similitude of humans like a dog. What I'm saying is that the Quran
is using these
insults effectively for people.
And Allah Sevilla, many of those insults, then it shows you that there's rhetoric in that.
Can you argue the one time to sort of saying you're gonna leave? Yes. Tell it tell us about this one, please.
I'm not sure if there was so I'm saying this hub was gonna leave the profit from sighs Yes, yes. And he said go lick the clitoris of your goddess. Yeah, he didn't say that. Yeah, he didn't say he said.
Yeah, he didn't say that. He just said one of the idols. Yeah. He said.
No, I actually heard some modern day commentators, and I'm not gonna mention names, doing like, a biography of workers at Deakin saying that that was wrong, he should have done that. But if it was wrong, wasn't the profits of some correction.
In fact, so to be more explicit, but why did the professor himself say auditor Nabek go and buy the Yanni the penis is your father? What the guy that was?
He was doing as part of his lineage is effectively being like a lineage. Racist. Yeah. So he's trying to say to him, Look, if you're really pleased with what you can control from your father's sperm go on, sorry to say bite it. And it's sometimes not I'm presenting two sides of it. Yes. A Hadith. The Prophet Allah. Allah mentioned, if you see a person that does not action for algo Hanabi, then tell him tell him tell him even more strong. Yeah.
I just want to correct that. The story is not that it happened. Yeah.
That's why you're here.
Because a lot of corrections happening.
It's hypothetical. I don't
see the point. The point is, it's a process I was describing. Imagine if I when somebody said Go soccer moms
go soccer.
did was send them advice. And it just happened. I think they will cut medical the law no advanced person and the relating to her lineage. So he granted and people was a bit shocked and surprised. You mentioned the hottie for example, if so, some racist guy, maybe. I don't know, if you look, as Jeff some racist guy says, Look, I'm the best because I'm from other country, I'm not gonna mention a country's name. I say, look, you're gonna suck at that sort of thing. Is that too deeply cynical by that's been so as to be the same language.
Yeah, this is a very politically incorrect thing to say.
Very controversial for the people to hear this. But the point is, is that nowadays, we've had this pacifist Islam for too long.
It's never presented Islam, it's never presented like this to us. It's always presented that, you know, it's almost presented like Christianity, Christianity, slightly, give them the right, no, no, I'm going to tell you, the prophet Salam was patient. And I'm going to tell you, Yes, he controlled his anger. 100% Because the examples I've told you before, but I've also got to tell you, he said these things. 123. I'm also going to tell you that there will these instances habits which are endorsed by the prophet, and that's the that is a fair picture. Because if I don't tell you, then the enemy of Islam will tell you this. And you will miss apply that. So I might as well save you the
heartache until you look at the theory says, what I believe is yes will be abused as a minority. But the answer to that abuse is not to take on the chicken and given the logic, the answer abuse is to give them with proportionality, what they have given you with proportionality. The key word is proportionality. Islam is a religion of proportionality, which is that we'll say yet in a year tone mithral Hello, I'm an alpha hour US law for a general who Allah.
So Allah says in the Quran, that if someone the compensation, this is exactly the opposite of what the Bible says, the compensation of someone doing something bad to you, is something bad like it.
Or when I forgot a slide, it's true. Allah says woman alpha. What a Slava for agile who are Allah, whoever pardons and forgives them. Hmm. Then then the reward will be of Allah, while a man in touch what about the zalmi family for Allah, Kamali, him and Sybil. However, Allah says He continues, he says who ever wants to go
and get his right
after he's been oppressed, then
That person has no blame on him.
He has the eyes as far as well, but I'm saying, if so, if you see someone trying to get their own back after the abuse that don't stop them. That's not the religion of Islam. Someone punches them. You say, No, don't do it, brother, no, no, let him punch him back. And this kind of thing even extends to when your arbitrating situation further, would you say sahaya virtue, however, to have forbearance forgiveness in
one event, so he says, From Omen Athol Asla, for a job of Allah, who he says that a lack of we're trying to follow the
Yeah, that's something else though. That's that's more like. eschatological Now that's more like hereafter. But this one is, well, I'm an intercessor by the homie, Allah saying, if you're forgiving Allah will give you a road for Muslim person slaps you in your face. And you, for example, forgive them, yes, you'll get a reward for that. But if you fight them back, and give them a slap back, it's fine. It's fine. There's no sin on you, no sin in them. So below Allah, Lizzy and I, elderly Moon and Venus. Wherever Hoonah fill out the behavioral hack. This is what Allah says that certainly only blame is given to those people who oppress the people and walk in the world with oppression is to
religion of balance.
Religion of elegance is the golden mean.
Whenever it will be seen as weak, don't do it. Whenever it will be seen as aggressivity. Don't do it.
We're in between two. There's nothing there's nothing new here. But we're showing you how these virtues manifest themselves in reality. It's not aesthetically or it's not aesthetic or virtuous to accept punishment and have no response. It's not it's not from good behavior. It's not good behavior. It's weak behavior.
And we've been told too many times in the society we live in, look in the Meccan period isn't that you're misrepresenting the Meccan period.
misrepresenting.
Anyway, move on.
When it got too bad, the prophets of salaam told the people to go to Abyssinia. And there was two migrations dabbles in here, the first one called them to claims that mad was in the fifth year of profit. A group of top people including four women went Abyssinia, including off Manulife and the doors of the profit center. Okay.
And the second time, there's 83 men and 19 women.
And we have a famous story. I don't know the authenticity of it.
But where I'm sure it's in the message and film the message, where the you know, Jafar was there. And then last came when he tried to get them back. And he said, and then he had to defend himself and all these kind of things. I haven't to be fair, looked at how authentic that story. Yeah. So authentic. To me, it may be impossible. So that's a good thing to share.
I don't know if it's in behind Muslims. You can chicken. Yes. Okay. So. So that's why the show has helped because
unfortunately, I will not suffice. There's another issue I want to bring up and it's good to shake his head because this complex Arcada issue, which is the issue of no Josh, Josh, obviously was the negros of the Thais named Negus. He was the king the title of the leader of Abyssinia at the time, and his name was a charmer. Because the Joshy has a title. It's not actually the name. Well, at least that's what people say that his name was. And the place of inhabitation was this place we spoke about already called axon, which is which is in the tigray region of Ethiopia. Now Tigray. I don't know if you know about what's happening in Ethiopia, there's a civil war happening in
Ethiopia, where at least it was happening, that the fighting has really settled down a lot now. And it's a very unfortunate civil war with what I see as atrocities on both sides. I mean, it seemed like there's atrocities on both sides.
But and you have the president of the country of Ethiopia, who's meant to have a Nobel Peace Prize and his soldiers to do all kinds of ridiculous things. No Muslim guy, or at least Muslim by name.
So Tigray is a region in Eritrea and Ethiopia, and it spans about 5 million to 6 million people who speak that language and are from that tribe.
And so when they went to that place, it's it's modern day Ethiopia, very beautiful place. I mean, they would have seen things they would never have seen in Saudi Arabia. And obviously, and this goes without saying, for them to migrate, they would have had to take a ship.
Because I know this is an easy fact. But there's no way to get to Ethiopia from Saudi Arabia, or from Arabia at the time without taking a ship as African Asia Yeah. So they have to cross the Red Sea. That's what they have to do.
So you could imagine and this is not I don't think any iterations mentioned about the journey like what what that kind of journey that would have been a rough journey would have been a rough journey.
That would have been a very rough journey.
Um, to get from, you know, Mecca, all the way down to I don't know where they would have had to gone, like port city or gender or something, get on a ship with 83 people, and then we'll be in turbulent and volatile times on the on the Red Sea, how long would it have taken him to see to cross that seat?
I don't think it would have been that bad. Now, it wouldn't have been that bad. I think a couple of days at max really, maybe 24 hours even. I don't know. I'm speaking. I've been on the Red Sea myself about I've traveled it, it's not that bad. And the there's not that many waves on there. But there's sharks in there.
That have been the other sharks. And I was, I wonder if there's any incidents.
Because you know, when you go to Egypt with others, the Red Sea and all that someone's calling me, I'll just had that shut up. So they went on the ship they went into, and they would have seen greenery, they would have seen different environment, people, the black people that have seen them live with black people mixed with them
would have expanded their horizons a little bit, because now you're not seeing the majority of people population are not Arabs, they're blacks.
I don't know about the situation in terms of like, how many slaves are surely there? I mean, we know other. Other empires took black slaves. But whether the blacks took over black slaves? I don't know. Because in this period I looked at I tried to look it up. And there's not even that much information about this particular person. But what is a contentious issue, and I'm happy to scheffers here is that this figure is used for a very popular debate among Islamists,
which is the issue of
the high demands Allah ruling with what Allah hasn't revealed? Because there's usually used in the context that he became Nigel, she later on became Muslim. Right? And he didn't implement Islam in Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Abyssinia, so some of the groups would say, look, well, that means to say, if there is some other or some, it's not always the case that malaria can be met and Hola, hola, como, Catherine, some groups, which means there's no Quran that says whoever doesn't know about Allah has revealed is a disbeliever.
Some groups allow the excuse of ability, and some groups don't allow it. Notably, the tech furious don't allow it at all. Like, for example, ISIS,
ISIS and Dinesh and sorry, same thing really, isn't it? ISIS and Al Qaeda. And these groups, a lot of them don't accept the excuse at all I've spoken to some of them, they don't accept it. So they'll say this, this country is a disbelieving country, because it's people. This is, by the way, one of the main differences, and I don't have time to speak to Piers Morgan about it.
But I tried to squeeze it in in 10 minutes, I can do it. But one of the main differences between ISIS and all these kind of things and other groups, because the Muslim Brotherhood or Hamas, or any of these groups, they don't believe in this stuff, which is the following. Attack. Fear attack essentially, is basically ChainTech fear. And this is how they build the argument. They say, look, the Quran states are men lamea can be met under the law for Ole come with Catherine, the whoever doesn't rule by what Allah has revealed that as believers,
it doesn't matter whether or not their intention
is to robot other Allah has belief. You could say the three opinions, bro, I'm not gonna lie to you. One opinion is that you have to just say hello to help. Which means that you have to believe in it with your heart.
This opinion was tabled by Earl Burnie.
And a lot of students like Ali helping others make a big deal about that opinion.
The other opinion is that it doesn't matter what your intentions are. But it's all to do with what you actually do, because it's most what's the Hey, Laughlin, it's impossible for you to believe that is what Allah has revealed and then ruled by other than it. And the third opinion is a lot of these countries they might the cam or the the leaders might have an excuse, for example, Adam Lissa, that they can't actually implement these rules without some serious consequences. From America, for example.
There's a big trout Denise suspend. Now that's different. That's 30. Like we're not talking about 13. Here we're talking about you are putting laws in place, which are secular laws, for example. We're not talking about suspension of laws and within the Sharia framework, we're talking about hopping between him and Allah. So what I'm saying is that so, for example, if Abdul Wahab was here today
if Muhammad Abdul Wahab was what would follow what would he do with what would his opinion be on the Islamic governments? I think he would consider them to be non Muslim governments. I think it makes it clear of all of them.
But if nobody was here, surely he wouldn't. He didn't do that. Because he believes for example, you have to have
a lot of the scholars on between those two opinions, you know, say, look, it's true that you it doesn't
makes sense if you don't have the other excuse for you not to make a ruling with Allah, but he but a lot of these can actually have other, for example, that they can't implement this.
What are the other was another question is what are the what are the excuses so that some of them will say, for example, other projects, but that's obviously an excuse of ignorance, but administer TA, the inability to enact for example, it was a country called
the one next to Malaysia and Indonesia. Brunei, Brunei. Yeah, when the guy tried to implement some laws, he was more had to tell us he was threatened. So are you going to say that he's a Catholic, because he's not implementing he tried homosexuality last year, whatever. It was, like, you know, primitive laws.
Then there's another thing, which I don't know what the shift, maybe I haven't looked into this mess element. However, I have heard some people say that one excuse could be
desires.
I don't know if this is an excuse or not, but for a fact, like some people have framed that argument
in a particular way with they say that, for example, if you are a leader of a household as a man, and you and your wife stopped drinking alcohol,
or you allow alcohol to be drank in your house for do you smoke some weed and your wife smokes it with you for you have a weak moment? Does that mean you're a disbeliever?
They'll say no, because it's However, sometimes you don't actually believe which lends itself more to a second opinion. So you can see what why these things are. But they use my Joshi because no Joshi, when he became Muslim. He didn't implement the laws of Islam.
What some of them said, there's two nuts ashes become Muslim, how he would he would implement if Rishi Sunak became Muslim, you couldn't implement it? Couldn't implement Islam be dismissed?
You lose the job? Yeah, he couldn't.
Luck within it.
Yeah, Turkey is another all of these examples of where you come up. Yeah. And you. So people have to be a bit bit careful with this. People have to be careful with this. And that's why like, I've been seeing a lot of discussion online about the attacking, criticizing the rules and this and that, whatever.
I'm not Yeah,
I made my own. But I've had my own favorable because he said something. Yeah, I mean, that's different. I'm also about saying I'm saying about implementing is different. It's a different story. But I mean approaches, you have to differentiate between two situations. The first is not ruling on behalf of Islam in a particular incident. So in general, he He rules by the law of Islam, but on that particular incident, he didn't rule.
On basis. For example, he had a bribe, for example. And I think that would be committed as a sin. But we would would not consider it as a golfer, but setting the rule rules or laws and ruling on behalf of those laws. That's the issue that is
discussing, Prime Minister, very difficult
discussion. Let's say the issue of hunger is understandable in this, the first context, but the second context, it's problematic to implement it because it's considered Cofer within itself. It's like a person worshiping any being other than Allah azza wa jal on basis of, let's say, how, so how it doesn't affect the reality of the matter. So whether or not it's considered a coup for sinful action. Yeah, one of the things that must be put under consideration that a Muslim is not accountable on any type of ruling of Islam, unless he has the power, the potential the capability to implement it. So they've been told me, they've been told me use the arguments of Natasha to show
that if a ruler, let's say, doesn't have the capability doesn't have any, he will be overthrown. Not on basis, let's say of Howard, because he just wants his throne, because of, let's say, the benefit of Islam itself, because what happened in the Joshy, there was a Muslim community within
Habesha, and if he was overthrown, that community would be inflicted, and this is shown in generations. So when there actually was an attempt to overthrow Gaddafi at the time, and the companions were alive, and he was hitting them
in the Joshy, send them
on the other end of a certain river. So and he mentioned in case I come out victorious, come back. If not, you can flee the country. So there was the stakes were high, let's say. So he was grabbing on power. On behalf of the Muslims, it's a lot harder to secure that Muslim community. So it's been to me actually mentioned a couple of generations that the thing went to the end that he was not even capable of announcing himself as an
slipped, and he would pray in a certain situation and not showing that he's praying, let alone implementing the rules.
So the Najafi case goes back to when you say she even told me his opinion was to do with Calderon and Fatah. Yeah, so I've been taking as a as a rule of thumb, he mentioned any ruling of Islam, a Muslim is not accountable, unless he has good capability, if he doesn't have the capability, then Allah azza wa jal doesn't make a Muslim accountable in the first place. So that applies in this situation, as it applies in any type of ruling of Islam. So that's that thing that has been put under consideration. And that's and these are the kinds of nuances that these groups, a lot of them like al Qaeda, and Dinesh and all this, they don't actually pay attention to them at all. And so
that's where it becomes unfair to, because what they do is actually worse than that. Al Qaeda and Daxing. All these groups, what they'll do is they'll label the the leader as this believer, and then anyone is connected to him, or works in the government, even if you're a school teacher, or police man, so long as you work for the government, you're a disbeliever as well.
Yeah, because you're part of a system. So they'll say, Look, this is all too sensible. These are all check. This is what they call chain tech fear. And so they'll bring it all the way back down to Lehman, several, if you voted for him, then you also are implicated by that. So this is how and then what that does is that they then use that as a legitimate way to legitimize killing civilians, were killed this man this whatever, because actually, you voted for this leader who's not ruling Well, what Allah has revealed.
Now, with the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas don't have that approach. They have a different approach. If they do kill civilians, which we have yet to see, they have, they don't have that, for example, policy. They have not said we are political civilians, by the way. And then Hamas has ever come out and said, We are policies because of aliens. In fact, they always deny that that's their policy, to be fair,
but it's out of pragmatism, or some other reason is because it just happened, Crossfire, or this or that. Maybe some of their group members done that. But what we're seeing is, is there's a hell of a lot of difference, a gulf of disparity between this group here and this group here. There's a there's a golfer dispersed and if someone tries to say academically did the same thing, then frankly, they don't understand how the whole thing works. But hopefully, by now they know how it works. And that's why you'll find that a lot of the places where these days ISIS and Al Qaeda are their main enemies, actually Muslims, like you, you will find that their main enemies are, for
example, Zionist, so it is really even close by I mean, there wasn't well, they were far away. ISIS are not far away from
Yeah, they were killing other Muslims because of the Kurds. They were killing a Sunni Muslim, the Shia is
really, really well, I mean, it doesn't mean that doesn't make sense. By them conquer.
What Yeah, as we were saying that is ideologically there's, there's a gulf of disparity. Anyway.
That isn't a gesture. Yes. ISIS was in a vase, they would be attacking the Muslims. Yes. If ISIS wasn't, that's a great point. That is a fantastic point. If ISIS was in Reza, their main, their main enemy will not be Israel, their main enemy will be Hamas. Undoubtedly, because I mean, they were coming out and saying, Look, if we could if we get a chance, we're going for the Egyptians, I remember.
And these guys have a very similar like how, as across the Muslim Brotherhood than they are to these groups. They're just an armed Muslim Brotherhood. That's what they are. Like, they're quite pragmatic. Where if you think about their politics is pretty pragmatic. Compared to obviously the other ones. They don't believe in negotiation. ISIS never believed negotiate. If ISIS had hostages, what they'll do is kill every single one, including the boy the baby. No, they would not. They would never ever, they would kill every single that's what they would do. They would they wouldn't even bargain or do anything like that. So there's a gulf disparity. I think if the propaganda that we
hear nowadays, it's the same thing, it's not it's definitely not the same thing. I had a question about is it true Bilal is originally from Avicennia. And he refused to go or I may say do not refuse but he chose to stay in Makkah and not go is that correct? I'm not sure what do you think about that?
Well known label belongil Habits Yeah. Shows. Okay, the next thing we're going to do now we're going to take a quick break. And then this time,
slides nine until the end, okay. Is about the boycott that the professor solemn and the companions
were subjected to in Mecca, kata, the boycott. While I want you guys to do, because I realized I speak a lot too much too much in this sessions is
I want to spend
510 minutes
reading that, and then doing bullet points in chronological order of the main points.
After that will feed back all the main points from from nine to
16. Yeah, so that's what How many is that seven pages? Yeah, so we reserve pages, we then summarize them in bullet points, and then we'll come back and feed feedback.
And what I might do is,
let's do 10 Pull up 10 bullet points. How many of us are there? 1234567. Yeah, it's, there's 10 of us. And the chef will obviously supervise us.
So we'll do 10 bullet points. And then each of you will have one bullet point that you read out, but do all 10 myself. That makes sense. So I'll give you 10 minutes to do that. And then after that, we'll come back and conclude inshallah.
Alright, so I'm alikom welcome back. Let's start from the left side, and then go all the way to the right. And what we're going to do now is we're going to quickly summarize what happened with the boycotts. And the ship is going to supervise this so you better be on your best behavior. Only joking let's start with off man. What is the first point? So we have the first point is the boycott of Bani Hashem and Bani Muttalib. So, a confederation of pagans in Mecca led by Bucky had been I mean, I've been Hashem agreed to boycott these tribes refusing business marriage
even verbal contact with them and obviously especially targeting the Prophet peace be upon him.
Okay, fantastic. Let's go for the second one.
Yes, the sea June in shibe. of Abu Talib, the Talib lead Bernhard Shimon bunu al Muttalib, to a valley near Mecca, where they face the three year siege in during extreme hardship installation. And this is Subhanallah one of the things we spoke about in the previous session
when we were comparing between what's happening as and now and just to remind everyone is amazing how
Allah He prepares the cream of the crop
through this same methods to say methods starvation, hunger, extreme conditions and so on so forth. This is something that the price I said I'm gonna companions went through as well. Let's go for the third one. Sure, desperate conditions the besieged, suffered greatly eating tree leaves and animals can skins with children particularly affected by hunger? Yes, unbelievable. And this is a slow and painful
kind of torture to be honest. Sometimes it's more it's easier to just dive quickly.
Then to die in these slow conditions.
I will read from this text here you could do forth discussion and internal strife.
Or the last one, number four, oh smuggling of food. Hakeem had him been his arm and others occasionally smuggled food to the besieged, facing opposition from figures like Abuja has. Okay. Yep. Next,
despite the tough conditions, Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi. wa salam, Islam persist in on his prayer in Makkah, in the public display, which is of Hala like, this will lie in itself is such a power, powerful proof of prophethood.
So that's the fifth point that he didn't stop or hide it his a badass from the public, especially in Cuba. It was too good. And
I want to I want to mention another point. We spoke about 48 Laws of Power, Machiavellianism and so on. I want to make another point about the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam.
You see, I had a conversation one time with a particular individual. And we were talking about what really influences so he started making points about capitalist ownership of property ownership of business and entrepreneurialship and stuff. And he gave the example of Colonel Saunders you know, the KFC guys look at how many people
are basically like, how many people are franchises, one organization that was taught by this one guy?
And he said, Don't you see the power? That someone like, let's say, even say Elon Musk is a better example. Someone like Elon Musk as people, you know, Starlink was the other thing, Tesla, x, x, x, all these things. Many people if you ask people in the streets, who would you consider them to be the most powerful man in the world? Some would probably say the US president and I guarantee you some of them will say Elon Musk, just because of how much money he has. And so leadership from that
perspective is, let's call it the capitalist model, the free market model. But I've got one question to ask that person. And I've got one question to ask the public. Is that can Elon Musk motivate people to put their own lives on the line for him fine. For example, if you get all of the employees of Elon Musk, and he put Tesla put xe policies with all the employees, big assembly, like assembly style, all the people are standing up. And you say to them, and he says to them, listen, we're going to war tomorrow. We're going to war against this against this company. I guess this company is BMW has crossed the line, you know, they've now been coping
with anyone got to offer him? The answer is no.
And the reason why I bring this to your attention is because what I'm saying is that the Machiavellian model of power leverage is playing checkers. That's playing checkers. The Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam, that's where Chess has been played.
Because the ultimate leverage, and this is something if I was meant to have a discussion with Robert Greene himself, and had the discussion, I tell him this, and then the ultimate leverage is not through money in guns, although it is a leverage, and no one will deny its true love and belief in higher course.
So the Prophet SAW Salem, when his followers were a smaller number
in Mecca, being tortured, being harmed being starved. They continued being his followers. That wasn't due to the fact that he was leveraging them with money is because they believed in him and because they loved him. loved him.
Yes. Just for the sake of argument, how would that differ to fear? Fear from the health? So that's a great question. And there was a movie I watched some time ago, which was on a couple of days ago, not joking. It's actually called A Bronx Tale.
And it was actually about the whoever wrote this movie was incredibly intelligent person. True story. Yeah, true story. Yeah. What was in here? All right. Robert De Niro Chazz Palminteri. And that movie. If you remember Robert De Niro was the hard working bus driver. And, and, and then you had another figure was the mafia leader. Okay, so he's a mafia leader. And this young boy he was he was torn between his father and the mafia leader who took him when he was younger. He was torn between the two figures. And the mafia leader was effectively seeing statements from Machiavelli's the prince. And he you mentioned fear, as I'm answering your question. At one point, he stated, and
I think this is the prince is better to be feared than loved. He said that. That's a flawed model.
That is a flawed model. And that's wrong psychologically is wrong. A mother would sacrifice herself
due to love not due to fear. And we've spoken about this when we talk about ethical egoism and stuff like that. Love is that the epitome the apex of emotion that human beings can experience. And the biggest fear of all is the fear of losing love. That fear there is actually more than the fear of, you know, worldly, a gun or a prison sentence.
And so the Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam, full before, before the Prophet Muhammad, Salah Salem. The reason why he was the greatest leader of all time, was not due to his strategic military abilities, although even disbelievers would say he was, they would say he was one of the top of all time, he would say is the best of all time, and we can prove he just wasn't given the opportunities. Once again.
Sorry to cut you off. I just want to make the point. The point I'm making to you is the following is that the Prophet Muhammad wa salam was able to catch that he was able to leverage his followers through love, they believed in a higher cause. And there's nothing higher, nothing better, nothing more noble, nothing more honorable than believing and worshipping. And Allah subhanaw taala. That's what he was offering them he was offering them the hereafter. He was offering them Heaven and Hell. And you'll see this theme as we talk about alpha one and alpha two and all these things that will come up, you'll see this theme play out he didn't have money to give. He didn't ask for money from
anyone. That's what made him the most incredible leader. Now let me just add a layer to that you'll say well, and
some will say this. Religion is the opiate of the masses. What differentiates what you're seeing, playing devil's advocate with the rise of Hitler, for example, or one of these Stalin or Lenin or whatever, maybe?
What happened when Hitler failed?
He killed himself, but not just that everyone killed themselves I think with the exception of one of them is maybe Goebbels who was it?
He killed himself. Yeah, yeah. The tribe often tried to kill himself.
Yeah, he go and kill didn't kill himself, right? He did. He Oh, they'll kill themselves was sentenced to death. Yes. And he had cyanide
Design identity. Moisturizing cream? Yes, he hid it. Some of his people gave it to him or something. He took it. He was one of the Trailway he had it all the time. Yeah, the whole time in moisturizing cream. He was very vain who was one who killed this kids? And then Goebbels. Goebbels killed his kids. And
the reason why brings your attention is the following.
Hitler, undoubtedly, if you're compared, Elon Musk was objectively Elon Musk, for example. And Hitler Hitler's more influential, there's no doubt because the people would die for him. But they wouldn't die for Elon Musk. Everyone agrees, right. But here's the difference, because Nazism or Marxism, or any other ism, any other ism that people have died and lived and died for, wasn't connected to afterlife.
No, but the afterlife in particular, there's this if you die, if you die, then there's going to be a continuation. There's not cessation of your yourself. Because they they, what they were bringing to the table wasn't that.
Unfortunately for them, unfortunately for the rest of unfortunately, just because someone said this, you see unfold and fortunately for the rest of the world. Yes. They as when their project died, when their mission failed, they killed themselves. It was the exploration of themselves. That would never happen with the Prophet himself said I'm when this shows you that the religion of Islam
where it has an eschatological component, the idea of worshipping and believe in one God.
There is no ideology of a secular nature that can match that. So we've shown you whites, this is checkers. And this is chess, because checkers is you're moving around money moving around guns, dictatorships, authoritarian regimes, check is level two is okay, fine, we'll give them a cause that will give them something to rally behind Marxism, or give them a Nazism or give them even liberalism wherever maybe. But because it doesn't have an extension to the after, they won't take it to the they won't take it to that level.
Islam because as a connection to the hereafter, the cause is connected to your death. There is no other thing which can connect your cause. There's nothing else can give you which is higher than that. Therefore, religion. She says opiate of the masses is the most effective opiate of the masses.
And that's what Marx would have had wished wish, wishes that he could have had.
He says the opiate of the masses, well, he wishes that it was Marxism because he could compete can't compete. Because it stops at the point of death.
Doesn't tell you where you want to be in the hereafter.
So there's nothing objectively that has been or can be more of an incentivizing factor, for an individual to rally behind than a religion, which promises the hereafter and also any religion.
Sorry to say we're not about reincarnation, where you can become a grasshopper afterwards, because that's not an IT that's not suitable incentive. It's not
we're not talking about this or that we're not talking about.
Even in Jewish eschatology do they don't have developed Heaven and Hell. In Jewish eschatology, you don't have a developed Heaven and Hell. It's only Islam and Christianity that has developed ideas of eschatology. But with Christianity, as we've mentioned, and we know, the idea of God is incoherent. So it's only Islam that can combine those things. And it's only the prophet who gave Islam and that's why the people were so motivated. Nothing can nothing can be a substitute for that. That's why the prophets of salaam was the greatest leader of all time.
He was the greatest of all time because he had the best course which was which made sense of death. And
because he was he had the impeccable virtue which has manifested which made people love him and willing to not only live but buy for him this is not Elon Musk and or hate loud this one's that one's a different complete different level. So you're gonna show the power from Thomas I said them is that the British Empire tried to ban alcohol they failed miserably with all their power
morphers opponent years ago, commanded what a billion billions of people currently holding these command. Are you talking about the abolition in America and Burma companies? Yeah, the abolition they tried, they failed miserably, failed miserably, the process and all transforming billions of people
on top so that's a good that's a great example. Fantastic. Let's go to the sixth point.
Breaking the pact, dissension among machens led to a group, including a sham minyama and the high REBNY Ipomoea. Advocating for the end of the boycott.
Fantastic. People are doing now.
Yes, yes. Divine intervention. The prom
saw Selim received the revelation that ants had eaten the or Anthony in the written packed spot, sparing only the parts with God's name leading to the agreements the solution
then came the decline of a body and
if you missed them by
the end of the siege after three years, pact was nullified, allowing say them hemas Salah Salem and others to return from DEXA fantastic. We'll go back are you health decline of Abu Dhabi post boycott apartheid themselves deteriorated promoting Mecca leaders to negotiate Darjeeling homesites and fantastic Musa.
Okay,
Muhammad Sal Saddam's proposition to Quraysh the Prophet SAW said I'm offered the Kurdish leaders a path to greater power if they accepted monotheism, which they ultimately rejected holding to the ancestral ancestral religion. And these are some of the ideas came down which everyone's familiar with Julio Catherine Lauer metabolism and these kinds of non compromising is not the time where you would want to compromise is when you're going to buy
this fella he shows you not only the resilience but the resolve. This is one of the most powerful arguments for the truthfulness of the problems.
Like this boycott went on for many years.
And the conditions were not favorable. So why would he enjoy that? Why would the people enjoy that unless they truly believed that this was something that was from God?
With that, we conclude that Nakara was Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
