00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			At that time they tried
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03 
			to bring about
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04 
			any
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05 
			excuse
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09 
			to derail or to distract people from him.
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 
			What did they do? Let me say some
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 
			of these things. Very important. It depicts and
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16 
			it shows
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 
			our relationship as believers with the prophet Muhammad,
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 
			peace be upon him. And the contrast,
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 
			those who disbelieved.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 
			At that time they were leaders of Makkah.
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31 
			They clearly said the reason why we're disbelieving
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 
			is if we believe what this man has
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33 
			said
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 
			he is going to overtake and be the
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38 
			leader and we will lose our leadership. That's
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39 
			the reason.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 
			We will lose our leadership.
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 
			So you find Abu Jahl, one of the
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 
			men, Amr ibn Hisham was his name. He
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48 
			fought the prophet peace be upon him because
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 
			he was worried about leadership.
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55 
			What did they do?
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 
			They picked on whatever they thought they could
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 
			but was there anything?
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 
			In actual fact there was nothing they could
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 
			pick on but they picked on the nothings
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05 
			that were there.
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06 
			SubhanAllah.
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 
			For example they said he's a madman,
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12 
			Allah answers, wamaasahibukun
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15 
			bimanjoon.
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 
			You know that verse?
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 
			Your companion is not mad. You call him
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 
			a madman, he's not mad. Listen to him.
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34 
			He's not mad at all.
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 
			When they told us about how
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 
			big the earth is,
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41 
			verses came.
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43 
			How huge,
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 
			how huge this entire creation is. And Allah
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48 
			says,
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 
			The creation of
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 
			the heavens and the earth or the skies
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05 
			and the earth. Far greater than the creation
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05 
			of man.
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07 
			Man is insignificant.
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09 
			Check what we've made.
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11 
			It's mind boggling.
00:02:12 --> 00:02:12 
			Well,
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 
			long ago
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 
			humankind just looked up and they saw, wow,
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19 
			subhanAllah,
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21 
			look at the sky.
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 
			In the evening they saw the moon, wow.
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26 
			They saw the stars,
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27 
			wow.
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28 
			SubhanAllah
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 
			look at the creation of Allah. Believers
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32 
			would look up and say
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 
			amazing the creation of Allah. They would look
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36 
			at the earth and check how big it
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38 
			is. MashaAllah. Look at it. Allah
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39 
			says,
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43 
			we have stretched this earth. It is so
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44 
			wide and broad.
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47 
			Does not mean the earth is flat. It
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 
			means we've
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 
			stretched it. We've made it so wide and
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 
			broad. There's a lot of space in it
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 
			and mashallah it goes on and on and
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 
			on. It's Allah's way of creation.
