On Wednesdays, we've been speaking about the events
that have taken place in the month of
Shawwal.
And
the month of Doulkala actually just started yesterday,
but we'll finish off today with the last
event,
in this series.
Previously we spoke about the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, in marriage to Az Aisha 'alhanha.
We spoke about the battle of
Uhud,
and then last week we spoke about the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam dealing with
Banuqaynuka,
as well as the other 2 Jewish tribes
which are Banun Nasir and Banu Quraydah.
As we all know that
the conquest of Mecca took place in the
month of
Ramadan,
and after Raul, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and the
Muslims conquered Makkadu Mulkarama,
nearby locality, a nearby, you know, city of
they actually got on alert worried that the
prophet
of Allah,
alaiwaresalil,
would then attack or then
try to conquer the city of Taif.
And this was for for a, you know,
a couple of reasons.
Number 1 is that
Mecca and Taif,
they were connected when it came to their
beliefs.
The
idols of
they were host in Maqatul Muqaddam.
And when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
cleansed the Kaaba of
the idols that were there, this included the
idols that were from Taif,
and
as we know the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
had history in Taif,
that previously the Qurayshia Makkah treated Rasulullah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam illi, and now Rasulullah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam has conquered them, and the
people of Taif, they treated Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam in a similar manner, and they
were worried that Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
and the Muslims would attack
the city of Taif next.
And this is why Rasool Allah, salallahu alayhi
wasalam, when he heard about this news that
the people of Taif are now gathering an
army
to go on the offensive and attack the
Muslims, Rasool Allah, salallahu alayhi wasalam, he gathered
an army of 12,000
companions.
Now, in first,
the Muslims had 12,000
and
the people of they were of 30,000.
And the numbers, of course, are not in
the favor of the Muslims.
This
was the largest army that the Muslims had.
Never before had the Muslims had such a
large army. And from these 12,000
people that the Muslims had,
many of them actually just accepted Islam in
Fatimaqa.
So the people that came from Madinah to
Mecca, and then the people who accepted Islam
in Mecca, they also joined on, and now
the Muslims have
12,000 versus
30,000
of Taif.
The battle of Taif actually takes part in
2 different occasions.
So it's actually 2 different battles.
The first is the battle of Hunayn. And
this is what Allah
mentions in the Quran in Suratoba.
On the day of Hunayn, you were astonished
and you were excited about the number of
people that you had. Why? Because like we
said, this was the largest Muslim army that
the Muslim had till that time.
And this the Battle of Hunayn actually took
place outside of the city of Taif in
a valley.
And an ambush was set up for the
Muslims
that
in
the valley path
towards the in the people of
the people of,
you know, the so
the outskirts, the surrounding people
of Ta'if. And the people of Ta'if, they
were called. So they're 2 different tribes.
The the tribes of
and the tribes of.
So the battle of was mainly
the Hawazin, people from the Hawazin, the surrounding
tribes. And when it later on, the second
battle takes place, which is 5, that battle
of
now with the people
of the of the battle of Hunay, what
they do is they the valley path, they
stand at the end of the valley path
and the Muslims had to walk through.
And as they went through the valley path,
the ambush was said from on top of
the mountains,
the enemies, they shower the Muslims with arrows.
Beginning seemed
like an easy win. Why? Because the numbers,
even though the Muslims are outnumbered, they were
still the Muslims were a large number. It
immediately turned to a defeat.
Why? Because they weren't expecting this. They thought
we go through the valley path. We attack
our enemy. Khalas. We win. Done.
But when they're ambushed, the Muslim begin to
run away and disperse.
And the prophet he has Abbas
who had just expressed Islam out in the
open, call out to the different tribes, and
then
these tribes they stood firm, and Allah
sent help in the form of the angels.
And the Battle of Hunayn was victor
the Muslims were victorious.
The remaining people
from Hunayn, they then go to Thayif, and
they locked themselves
within the city.
So the city was fortified.
Now if you look at Thayif, even till
this day,
it's a very
it's up in the mountains. You know, this
past,
March, we had the we had
the,
we had a chance to go to Thaif,
and because we're going in a bus,
they didn't allow us to take the straight
path.
We had to go all the way around,
because the straight path, it was through the
mountain and the bus couldn't turn.
And so if you go online and look
at the pictures, it's actually a huge u-turn
on the side of the mountain. So that's
how the city is
situated. And the city was such that they
fortified and they locked themselves within their, their
boundaries.
They laid siege to the city of Taifor,
a total 40 days.
And different tactics were used here. You know,
different,
means of,
of war were used. The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi
wasallam in the Muslim, they gathered ramming rods.
They made ramming rods to try to break
the doors of the
4th. The people of 5th, they threw spears
that were lit on fire.
But after 40 days, the prophet Sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, he took opinion of a person
by the name Noafil. And Noafil said that
to Roshallahu alaihi wa sallam, that the fox
has ran away into its
After
this, the prophet
he said to he made du'a for the
people of life and he said to Allah
have them come towards Islam and 2 years
later,
in the final year of
the
people of life came, they sent a delegation
to
Islam.
Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam from here,
after the victory of Taif, after laying siege,
and then leaving them and letting them be,
he goes back and he distributes all of
the spoils of war that the
Muslims gained from the battle of Hunain. And
this was a large, you know, a very,
huge amount of wealth that they
asked her, who are
you? Why should we let you meet Raul
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?
And she says
that I am his sister.
And so what are you talking about? The
prophets didn't have any sisters. Get out of
here. And Raul Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam talked to her and says
Do you have any proof of this claim?
And
she says that when you were at Halima
Sadia's house, I was there as well.
And then there is and the narration that
hadith says that she reminds the prophets of
Allah and you see,
I appreciate
child to the child, they're gonna play, they're
gonna run around. Why are you yelling? Why
are you doing? Don't get mad at them.
Loqan in a view even if it's a
prophet. That's how it's
she's she shows the profits a lot away
from her shoulder and he says that, when
you were young, I was giving you a
piggyback ride. I was carrying out my shoulder
and you bit me here
on my
on my shoulder.
And the prophet,
he gave honor to Sheima. He he he
laid out his sheet,
and he had her sit there and gave
her respect. And you know, there's a very
unique incident where you see the prophet, as
a
unique incident where you see the Prophet
as a sibil.
And I would look at this twofold. Number
1, the respect of the Prophet had for
his sister. But at the end of the
day, siblings will always stay.
They will always take stabs at one another.
Even the Prophet always said I always tell
my daughters that they should all go to
my son Mohammed and get bit on the
shoulder to follow the son of Rasool Allah
After this, the prophet
he goes back to
Makkah to Makarama
and he performs his
Umrah. So when Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasalam was
in Makkah, for Fatimaqa, he didn't perform a
Umrah.
But after,
the Battle of Taif, Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasalam
then goes to, Makkah to Makkahramah. He performs
a Umrah. And this is actually during this
time, you know, just as a side note,
has Aisha Adhanat during this time wasn't able
to perform her Umrah.
And Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he tells,
Aisha Adhanat to stay back with Abdulhaman Abu
Bakr.
And actually talking about Abdul Rahman and Abu
Bakr, in the battle of 5, one of
the few casualties that the Muslims had was
Abdullah ibn Abu Bakr, the other son of
Abu Bakr.
He was shot with the arrow and later
on during the of his father, he passed
away from this wound. But going back to
what we're initially talking about, the Aisha Adana,
she wasn't able to perform a Umrah right
away. She was in the state of Ihram
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam tells
her to go to Taniem
and put on the Ihram and this is
why the masjid in Taneem is called,
because that's where Aisha put on Haram. And
after this, the prophet
returned back to Madi, Madi and to Manura.
And like we said before, the people of
5, they follow 2 years later and they
accept Islam. This was also in the month
of Shawwal. You know, InshaAllah. Hopefully, when Sheikh
Salah comes back, he could talk a bit
more about the month of Zulqada and, you
know, of course, Zul Hijjas around,
just around the the corner, you know, and
then many of us have made an intention
to go to Hajj. We made du'a Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala accepts. The intention we make
du'a Allah gives us the ability to learn
from the lessons of life.
