00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			So when Muhammad
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			was granted prophethood by Allah
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			Ali ibn Abi Talib who loved him so
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:09
			much
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			was the first from amongst the boys to
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			accept Islam.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			So Abu Bakr as Siddiq
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			was the first from amongst the men.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			Ali ibn Abi Talib
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			was the first from amongst the boys to
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			accept Islam.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			And how exactly it happened? There are 2
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			versions.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			But both of them are quite similar,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			in their narration.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			The one says that, Ali ibn Abi Talib
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			saw Muhammad
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			reading salah. Meaning worshiping Allah
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			And he asked, Muhammad
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			what are you doing? So he said, I
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			am worshiping Allah who made me.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			And I do not worship the idols. The
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			idols are wrong. It is wrong to do
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			what Quraysh is doing. And he explained to
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			him what Islam was, and he invited him
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			to Islam. And Ali ibn Abi Talib
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			accepted the message of Muhammad
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			One narration says, he said, Let me talk
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			to my father. And Muhammad
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			said, You've got to think.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			If you would like, you accept it. But
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			I'd like you to keep it to yourself
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			for now because I've not been instructed yet
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			to go and tell the others.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			And no sooner was that said, a little
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			while later, Ali ibn Abi Talib
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			accepted Islam. So these are some of the
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			narrations of how he became a Muslim but
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			he was a young boy, perhaps approximately 10
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			years old. May Allah
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			make us those who are obedient and our
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			children as well, such that when we speak
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			to our children, they listen to us. Ameen.
