Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Bismillah Alhamdulillah
wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. How are my little believers doing
today? I hope everyone's doing good. Because today Inshallah,
we're going to continue with a story of a new prophet. Today's
prophet is use of Alayhis Salam, or like our prophets, Allah Allah
wa salam referred to him, as he said, Al Kareem Abdul Karim YBNL
Kareem Abdul Karim. He said, The generous the son of the generous
the son of the generous and the son of the generous or the noble,
the son of the noble, the son of the noble, the son of the noble.
And that is because Ibrahim alayhis salam you remember what we
said last time, we said Ibrahim Ali Salam had is hack, right and
it's Hawk was also a prophet. And then right after his hug Yaqoob
Ali Salam who was also a prophet. And then Iacobelli Salam also had
another prophet, and his name was Yusuf Ali he Salam. So his heart
was one of the prophets, the son of Ibrahim and Yaqoob also had a
different name. It wasn't only a coupe. It was Isra eel, is raw
eel. Right. And that means Abdullah in their language. So
it's, it means Abdullah and that's the other name of Iacobelli Salam.
Okay. So, Jakob Ali's Salam had many children Hamdulillah he had
12 Boys, okay. And from these 12 Boys, mashallah, they were all
good. Until Yusuf alayhi salam came around, and they noticed that
his father Yaku, Ballet's salaam started to feel a little bit more
inclined to use of. And that's because he saw that use of this
little beautiful boy was very obedient to his father, very
obedient to his mother, such a beautiful child. So when they
noticed this, they started to be just a little bit jealous. So when
this happened,
jacobellis Salaam noticed it, but he didn't say anything to his
kids. He just watched to see what is going to happen. Then one day,
use of family his Salam had a dream. And he was a little boy,
maybe your age today. So he woke up that morning and he remembered
this dream clearly. So he went to his father. He said, Father,
Father, I had a dream last night. He said, What was your dream? He
said, Father, I saw 12 stars. Okay, and I saw the sun in the
moon. Okay, I saw 11 stars and the sun in the moon. Were prostrating
to me, all of them. He said, Oh, okay. This is where you have to
stop. So he said, Why, Daddy, you said if your brothers hear about
this dream, they're going to be so jealous of you that they might do
something to so you Safari Ceramica. A little scary. So what
is he going to do father? He said, I'm not going to tell you, but
don't tell them to dream.
So use of Falaise Salam didn't tell them the dream, listen to his
father. But guess what? They found out. And they knew that use of
Alayhis Salam was one of the chosen children from the sons of
Yaqoob or Israel.
So they said
we have to get rid of use of and they all sat together and they
plot it and they thought of how they can lower their father so
that they can take us away and get rid of them.
Subhanallah such jealous siblings, right. But the jealousy only got
worse. It got much worse.
because one of them suggested to kill use of.
That's very bad. It's very bad. But that's how jealous they got,
you know, sometimes someone can be jealous of their sibling and take
their toy away from them, or not let them play with their own toy,
or, or not eat with them or not go out with them. But with them,
their jealousy was so bad that they actually said we want to kill
our own brother use of I know, it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad.
So when
the time came, they decided to just throw him inside a well and
let him die.
Oh, my God, or they said either died, he might die inside the oil.
Or some people might find him. But at least we'll get rid of them.
But how are we going to get our father Yaqoob to let us take him
with us.
They said
they thought they saw and they went to their father. And he said,
Dad, why don't you let use of go out to play with us? We're going
to go far out in the desert. Let him come along and he'll have some
fun. He said,
I don't like I wouldn't like for you to take him. I'm afraid the
wolves might eat him while you guys are playing. So
I'm not comfortable with you taking him. They said no. Look at
all of us. We're all his siblings. 11 of us how is the wolf going to
reach our brother use of?
So he said, Okay, but you promise you're going to bring him back?
Right? They said we promise Father, we promise and they were
just looking at each other because they knew they were lying. And
shaytaan was playing with their minds. Because she Bong always
puts these evil thoughts and people see, you remember the first
day we learned when the shaytaan comes and tells you to do
something bad? What do you say? Are we do bIllahi min. Ash
shaytani R rajim. But you know what? That is not what the
brothers of use of did. They didn't say out of lamina shaytaan
regime. As a matter of fact, they listened to what the shaytaan
whispered. And they said, Oh yeah, that's a great idea. So what
happened was they took use of and they said, Hey,
let's take his shirt off. And let's get some blood from another
animal. And we'll put it on this shirt. We'll throw use of inside
the well. And we'll take the shirt to our father that night.
And say Dad, look the wolf ate use of when we were playing at night.
We regret it father and that's exactly what they did. So they
planned they threw him inside the well. They brought the shirts of
use of Ali Salaam and they they had fake blood on it.
And when they went to their father that day, they went crying and of
course they were they were crying fake. It wasn't real crying. The
tone Father Father, look, the wolf ate yourself when we were playing.
And he said
I don't think you're honest. I think
you're knifes I think you listen to shape on and you plotted
something against Youssef. But you know what? I know that Allah
subhana wa Taala is going to teach you a lesson. And in sha Allah,
Allah brings us back to me one day.
So he said, Father, why don't you believe us? Why don't you believe
us? He didn't believe them.
He didn't have to explain himself because he knew what they were
plotting. So Yusuf Ali Salam
was in the world crying and yelling someone saved me Please
someone come and take me out of this well, but there was no one
there until one day
someone heard use of inside all they said there's a sound in
there. Let's lower the rope with the bucket. So they put the bucket
inside the well. And he started wailing get in.
And then who comes out and like wow, this is some heavy water. We
musta got some rocks in this thing. But
it was use of they said Dr. Boucher has a hologram is a
quality child. Look guys, I found a kid inside the world. Come and
check them out. So he took the kid cleaned him up. He closed them and
he said
Uh huh, child, you're going to get me a good price in the market, I
can sell you as a slave and make some good money. Yusuf Ali Salaam.
He didn't know, he didn't have any family or anyone to help him. He
was a little boy all by himself.
So as he was taken to the city, which was Egypt, the time
the man sold him in the market. I have a little boy here who wants
to buy him for this much money. Someone came and saw him. This
person was Elijah z's. Okay. And Aziz was one of the highest ranked
officials in the whole city.
Everyone respected this person, he was like, like the governor of the
city, right? High Authority. And he said, Hey, this little boy is
pretty good, how much you aren't for him. So this much, okay, let
me take him. He bought use of, and he took him home, what's your
name, little kid. He said, I'm Yusuf. He said, Okay, you're my
slave. From now on. You have to serve me and my wife. And that is
your job and use of he was just grateful to Allah subhanaw taala
that Allah answered his diet, because when he was in the well he
was making dua, O Allah, Oh Allah take me out of the well and
hamdulillah Allah took him out of the well said, Oh Allah, Oh Allah,
make me live in a better house and Allah subhanaw taala made him live
in a better house. Subhan Allah. See, anytime you make glad for
Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala will answer. You just have to
remember to make dua. If you remember to make dua, then know
for sure that Allah subhanaw taala is going to answer 100%.
So he was in a nice castle, obviously, the governor of Egypt,
he lived in a castle in a big house. And use of La Silla was in
this house. And he grew up in this house until one day, he became a
young man, maybe a teenager. And the woman, the wife of this
governor, told us of La salam to do something haram.
And Yusuf Ali Salam said, No, that's haram. God prohibited me
from doing this. And she said, Hey, you have to listen to me.
Because I own you. You're my slave. You have to do what I tell
you. He said, No, I don't obey anyone over Allah. If Allah told
me that something's haram. I don't care who tells me to do otherwise.
I only have to listen to Allah subhanaw taala first. So
she told him, if you don't listen to me, I'm going to throw you in
prison.
And he said, Hey, I would rather go to prison, then to do something
that displeases Allah, I will not disobey Allah hamdulillah I'm a
believer. And this is haram.
So then he was taken to prison.
And as he was taken to prison, he said, and Hamdulillah I came to
present but I didn't do something that's haram. I didn't disobey
Allah, because that's the worst thing in the world.
So when she went, when he went to prison, he found two men in there.
Two men who didn't know how to worship Allah. But these men saw
the use of was a nice man who was a nice young man because he grew
up in this house. He was very respectful. He was very beautiful.
He was very kind, he was very clean. So they noticed this. They
said, Hey, use of we had a dream.
I had a dream and the other one said, I also had a dream.
Use of on a solemn, told them what was your dream? One of them said,
I had a dream that I was hung on a big log, and that the birds were
eating from my head. They were pecking away on my head. And the
other one said, I had a dream that I was giving the king something to
drink, the big king of Egypt. So I was I had a dream that I was
giving him something to drink.
So Yusuf Ali salaam looked at them. He said before I tell you
what your dreams mean.
And I know what your dreams mean. Because dreams are very important
by the way, you remember the dream he had. And now he has he, these
two men had dreams as well. Dreams are very important. And this is
the way one of the ways that Allah subhanaw taala communicates to His
servants. So when you have a good dream than the stream is from
Allah, it could be a message from Allah telling you to do something
or to avoid something, or so you can learn something that you
didn't know. And if you the best dream you can have is a dream
where you see Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, our
messenger of Prophet Muhammad some lives, that's one of the greatest
dreams. So if you want to have a good dream, make that you see at a
school of law in your dream. That's one of the best dreams. So
when they told us of what do our dreams mean, he said,
I want to ask you a question first. What's better, worshipping
many gods, or worshiping the one God who created all of us?
They said, of course, worshipping the One God that made all of us
because he made all of us from nothing. So he deserves all the
worship. Okay? He said, This is the religion of myself, and the
religion of my father's Yaqoob. And my father is half my his
grandfather and his great grandfather, Ibrahim, he said, we
only worship one God, and no one else.
So once they said, Okay, that's great. So use have told them what
their dreams me. So he told one of them that you are going to die.
And the birds are going to eat from your head. Because it all
okay. And the other man said, What about my dream, he said, You are
going to be freed and you are going to give the king something
to drink.
And then, before they before this man left prison, use of fireplace
pulled him over. He said, Hey, if you ever go to the king, don't
forget about me, okay? I'm here in prison, you better helped me out.
He said, okay, okay, I'll help you. And then the man left. And he
forgot all about use of.
And he forgot about them for many years, maybe nine years.
But you know what happened?
After the man stayed out,
giving drinks to the king for about seven to nine years. The
king one day wakes up and says, hey, people, I had a dream today.
Can someone help me interpret it? And they told him what was your
dream? He said, I saw seven skinny cows eating seven fat cows. And I
saw seven wheats grains of wheat. Okay, and I saw that I saw seven
green ones. And I saw seven dry ones.
Okay.
Said what? What is their interpretation of my dream?
They said, We don't know about dreams. You probably are just
seeing things in your sleep. So it doesn't mean anything. The King
said no, I think it really means something. Does anyone here know
how to interpret dreams for me?
But they couldn't interpret it. So this man was bringing bringing a
drink to the king and he said, Hey,
I know someone who can interpret it. He interpreted my dream. And
he told me I'm going to give you a drink the way I'm doing it right
now. So the king said who is this man? He said his name is Yusuf.
And he's in prison right now. So you want to use and he said oh use
of the King had a dream. It's like this and this and that. And he
told them about the cows. And he told them about the wheats. When
use of La Salam said exactly what the dream means. And the man went
back to the king and he said oh can I have the meaning of your
dream? Use of said this is what it means.
So the king said, Oh, this man must be someone special. Bring him
over to me.
So eventually use of one two, the king and the king told us of I
want to make you someone in charge in Egypt in the whole country and
use of an s&m said
Make me the treasurer because I'm trustworthy, and I can be a good
treasurer.
So he became a good treasurer.
And when use of Falaise salaam became a good treasurer, he
told
he, he became in charge. And he started controlling all of the
money of Egypt. All of the money was in his discretion. And he was
responsible to maintain it. So he went from someone who was in
prison, and Subhan Allah because he kept making dua to Allah. And
he kept calling other people to believe in worshipping Allah
alone. Allah subhanho wa Taala eventually lifted him. So he
became one of the greatest authorities in all of Egypt. And
this is something great. And this was one of the most amazing things
that happened to us of Alayhis Salam,
use of Alayhis Salam
went from being no one to be exempt. He went from someone in
prison all by himself that no one knew to being one of the greatest
authorities in Egypt. Why do you think this happened? And what do
you think this is from? This is from the number of Allah subhanaw
taala. And this is from the blessing of Allah subhana wa Tala.
And this is a rule that I want all of you to remember. Okay, you must
hear me try to remember it. That if you obey Allah subhanaw taala.
And if you fear a loss of Hunter, either in your life, you will
always, always win. And you will always eventually be from the
people who succeed in this life, and in the next life.
So, today, I'm going to end with this. And tomorrow we have the
other half of us have Alayhis Salam story, which is a great
half. You know why? Because Yusuf Ali Salam actually sees his
brothers walk into the city. But what does he do? You tune in
tomorrow and sha Allah so you can find out? Does akmola help? I'll
see you tomorrow. Salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
