			Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,
Barakatuh,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:10
			spilahi, Rahmani, Rahim
Alhamdulillah, Alameen Wa Salli wa
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:16
			Sallim Ali, rahmet Ali La Alameen,
nabiina wa Maulana, Muhammad wa
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:30
			Allah Ali, he was happy Woman. He
had ye walk, Dad, be sun. In a
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:48
			respected on its
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:59
			scholars, all our elders, beloved
brothers, mothers and sisters. One
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			day, a particular Imam walked into
the masjid and after sending the
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			pulpit addressing the congregants,
he said, my brothers, today I have
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:15
			two messages for you. I've got
good news and I've got bad news.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:21
			The good news is we now have
sufficient funding to complete the
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			masjid project. That's the good
news. Now comes the bad news. The
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:33
			bad news is the money is still in
your pockets. I say my brothers
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:39
			and sisters, as Muslims, we have
good news and we have bad news.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:45
			The good news says we have that
formula. We have that recipe to
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			rescue the broader world from the
mayhem, from the turbulence it is
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:56
			experiencing. But Allah forbid,
the formula is on our bookshelves.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			The formula is on the tongues of
orators. The formula is in our
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:06
			masajid, if only you and I can
stand up to the test of time and
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11
			revive the exemplary character of
the NABI of Allah and manifest the
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16
			impeccable character qualities of
the NABI of Allah, sallAllahu,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			sallam, you will see what magnetic
impact This will have on the
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			broader world, and this is what I
want to speak about today. In a
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			few days, we will be entering into
the blessed month of Rabbi UL
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			awwal, being the blessed month
wherein we speak about the NABI of
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			allah sallallahu Salem. In this
few minutes that we have, I just
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			want to share with you, in the
light of Quran and Sunnah, some
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:46
			narratives, by virtue of which I
will narrate to you some incidents
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:52
			to see how the life of the NABI of
Allah had impacted on those
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:59
			individuals whose hearts were the
most hearts. He had managed to
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:04
			change the hearts of those who
used to bury their daughters
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:09
			alive, and he made them guiding
stars for humanity. Till the day
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			of payamah, the first Hadith I
quote before you, appears in
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			tabrani, the rabbi of Allah,
sallAllahu wasallam. He exits from
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			the room of one of his honorable
wives, and with him was Ali bin
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28
			Abi a Talib Radi Allahu, talaan Ho
for atahu, rajulun Allah,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:34
			rahilatihi kal Badawi. Suddenly,
there was a person who advances to
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:39
			the NABI of Allah. He was mounted
on his conveyance, and he appeared
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			to be a Bedouin, and he looks at
the NABI of Allah, and he said, Oh
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:49
			Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, I
have invited my nation to Islam.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:54
			They have accepted my message. I
have promised them material
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:00
			prosperity, by the will of Allah,
Waka ASA Batum, sanatun, by the
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			will of the Almighty Allah, they
have been gripped by famine and
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:10
			drought. Do you have any funds at
your disposal, by virtue of which
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:16
			I could keep them in Islam for
Aksha? A yah, ruju mean, Al
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:24
			Islami, Tama, ah, kama, daha,
lufi, Tama, ah, I'm afraid this
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:30
			current condition of theirs must
not have an impact on them. They
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:35
			entered into Islam passionately.
It must not happen. Then they exit
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			from Islam very quickly. Abu
Muhammad, do you have any money at
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:45
			your disposal. Nabi Ali Salam
looked at alibi Nabi Talib Ali or
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:50
			the Allahu Anhu salabi of Allah,
the funds are depleted. We've got
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:56
			absolutely nothing. Just then,
there was a gentleman who appears
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			before the NABI of Allah,
sallAllahu. He was salam na.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			He was a Jewish rabbi. His name
was Zayd ibn sochna. My brothers.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			Listen to this. He says, O
Muhammad Sallallahu, alaihi
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:16
			wasallam, I see you are in need of
money. I am prepared to loan you
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:22
			money for a period of time on two
conditions. Number one is, you pay
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:27
			me back in the form of dates.
Don't give me cash. You pay me
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32
			back in the form of dates. And
number two, pay me on a stipulated
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:37
			date, a date and a day, agreed by
both you and I. Nobody. Ali Salam
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			said, it's a done deal. I will pay
you back in dates and I will pay
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			you back on a certain day. He
takes the money and he gives it to
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			the NABI of allah sallallahu. He
was salam Nabi Ali. Salam takes
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			this money and he gives it to this
Bedouin, and he said, distributed
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:58
			with fairness and equality to your
people and keep them in Islam.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			This Bedouin then left zad Ibn
sochna, the Jewish rabbi. He
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:11
			parted ways. Time passed on. Fast
forward the incident one day prior
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:16
			to the schedule payment date. I
gave you the reference, tabrani,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:22
			one day prior to the scheduled
payment date, the Zayd ibn sochna,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:28
			this Jewish rabbi, he comes from
the rear, and he harshly grabs the
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:33
			garment of the NABI of allah
sallallahu sallam. And he says,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:41
			You Quraysh, you have a reputation
of prolonging payments. O Muhammad
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:47
			Give me my money. My brothers
understand there was still one day
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:52
			to settle the debt the zaydib na
sohna, he says, whilst I was
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:57
			harshly demanding my money from
the Prophet Muhammad, I happened
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:02
			to look at the great giant Omar.
Omar bin Khata Radi Allahu, talaan
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:09
			huardah wa ayna Huta, Duran kal
falaq al mustadir, the eyeballs of
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:15
			Umar were turning viciously that
How dare you raise your voice in
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19
			front of the greatest man that
walked on Mother Earth, and Omar
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:25
			wanted to go for him. Nabi Ali
Salam looked at Omar, and he said,
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:31
			Omar, Omar, this is not how we
deal with situations. You should
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:36
			have been more diplomatic in your
approach. You should have told me
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			to be more prompt in paying my
dues, and you should have told
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:47
			Zayd ibn sochna to be more lenient
when demanding his Jew, our Omar,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:53
			because of your harshness and your
attitude, you have compounded the
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:58
			problem. You have exacerbated the
issue. Take this man, this Jewish
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:04
			rabbi, and give him what, what we
owe him. Not only that, give him
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:08
			an added amount. My brothers,
where do you find this character
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:13
			today? So Omar Radi Allahu,
talaanu. He says, as I was
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:18
			walking, this Jewish rabbi looks
at me and he says, Omar, you know,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:23
			who am I? So Omar looks at him,
and he says, I don't know you, and
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28
			I don't wish to know you. I don't
know you, and I don't wish to know
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:33
			you. A man like you, raises his
voice in front of the NABI of
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			Allah, sallAllahu, sallam. He
said, Oh, Omar, let me tell you.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:44
			Who Am I? I am Zayd ibn a sochna.
I am one of the wealthiest
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			individuals in Madinah Tul
munawara. Let me tell you. Who am
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:55
			I? He says I have studied the
biography of Muhammad Sallallahu,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:01
			sallam, and I've closely monitored
his movements, I say, beyond a
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:08
			shadow of doubt. I was convinced
that he is the final messenger of
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:14
			Allah, but I had reservations in
two qualities. I actually came to
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			test those two qualities, which I
read in the divine Scriptures,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:26
			yes, by kohel muho jahala, that is
forbearance surpasses his anger.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:33
			The more you incite him, the more
composed he becomes, the more you
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:40
			aggravate him, the more calm he
becomes. Our Omar, I have actually
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:47
			come to test those two qualities.
I say, By Allah, by Allah, he has
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:53
			passed with flying colors.
Ashadhu, Allah, ILAHA, illallah wa
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			ashadhu, anna Muhammad and abduhu
wa Rasulullah. I recite the
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Kalima, and he said, Oh Omar.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			I am the wealth one of the
wealthiest individuals in Medina
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:10
			and shat ramali, sada Kali Islam,
I am one of the wealthiest
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:15
			individuals. Take half my wealth
and give it to Muhammad and tell
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:20
			him, this is for Islam. I don't
need one cent in return my
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:27
			brothers and my sisters. What did
it take to impress a Jewish rabbi
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:32
			of the beauty of Islam? It was the
character of Muhammad Sallallahu.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			He was salam. The hadith appears
in Hakim
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			Nabi Ali. Salam is sitting in
madinawara. There was a person by
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:45
			the name of Al kamab bin Haris. He
comes to the NABI of Allah and Al
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:50
			kama bin Haris, he was very
profound in his articulation. He
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			was very impressive in his speech.
He was very fluent in his speech.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:59
			And Nabi Ali Salam was impressed.
So Nabi Ali Salam looked at him,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:03
			and he said, What is your name? He
said, My name is Al Kama. Where do
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:07
			you hail from? He said, I come
from certain place. He said, Tell
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:12
			me about you. He says, oh. Nabi of
Allah, there are seven of us that
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:17
			have come with me to Medina. We
all have accepted Islam. We all
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:23
			have accepted Islam. Nabi Ali
Salam looks at him, liquid to
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:31
			emanik, every statement has a
proof. Our alkama. What is the
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			proof that you have accepted
Islam? You know, my brothers, I
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:43
			often say that many of us, we have
created symbols around us, by
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:49
			virtue of which we identify
ourselves as Muslims. By way of an
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:55
			example, you'll find that many of
us have a 786, number. You have a
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:01
			786, phone number. You have a 786,
on your on your car number plate,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:08
			by virtue of which we identify
ourselves as good Muslims. On the
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:14
			grounds that I carry a 786 number,
my brothers, I remind you. I
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:19
			remind myself whether you carry a
786 number, or whether you carry a
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:25
			726 number. This is not the
grounds for acceptance or
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:30
			rejection in the call or in the
court of Rabbul. Izehl Jalal. So
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:35
			this Sahabi alham, he said, Oh
Muhammad, we have accepted Islam.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:40
			Nabi Ali Salam said, What is the
proof of your iman and Islam? He
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:46
			says, We have 15 qualities. Listen
to this. We have 15 qualities. Ham
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			Sun amartana Bihar five, we have
heard from you directly. Five, we
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			have heard from your companions.
And five, we have inherited from
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			our ancestry. I want you to hear
me out, and if you want me to
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02
			continue the halakhna filjahilia,
we have inherited from our
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			ancestry. I want you to hear me
out if there is merit in it, we
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:10
			will continue. If you ask me to
abstain and refrain, we will give
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:14
			up those qualities. Nabi Ali Salam
looked at him and he said, What
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			are those five qualities you have
heard from me? He says, You have
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:22
			commanded us. Anok, Mina, bila,
wamala, ikati, Waku, Tobi wa
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:26
			rasulli, waqadri, hayri wa Shari
min Allah, you have commanded us,
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			we should believe in the Oneness
of Allah, believe in the angels of
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			Allah, believe in the books of
Allah, and believe that good and
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			bad is from the side of Allah.
Nabi Ari Salam asked him, What are
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			the five qualities you have heard
from my message from my
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			companions, he said, amartana,
your companions have commanded us
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:53
			an ill Allah, ILAHA, illallah, WA
Anaka, Abdul, who are rasala, JAL
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:57
			Bayt in his Tata, elegi, sabila,
your companions have commanded us
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			that we should believe in The
Almighty Allah except you as the
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:05
			final messenger. Discharge, Zakah,
go on Hajj fast in the blessed
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:10
			month of Ramadan. Nabi arisalama
asked him, What are those five
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:16
			qualities that you have inherited
from your ancestry? What does he
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:23
			say? Number one, Ashoka, ainda
Raha was sabro Angel, Bala was
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:29
			said the kofi, mawati, nileka, wa
Rada Abu, mural, kada water ke
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:38
			Shama Tai Leta, Allahu, Akbar.
What does he say? Ashoka in the
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:45
			Raha, gratefulness on moments of
prosperity, not pride, not
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:50
			arrogance, but gratefulness on
moments of prosperity, something
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			good comes your way to
acknowledge, to praise the
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			Almighty Allah, ask a man today
how things are things are bad. I
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			mean, we constantly come.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Plane, like I always say
yesterday, we could not afford it.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:08
			Afford it. We did without it.
Today, we say things are
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			expensive. Allah has given it to
us today, but people still
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:15
			constantly complain. Make shukar
of what Allah has favored you
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:21
			with. Number two was Sabra ang dal
Bala patience on moments of
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:27
			difficulties. Number three was
siddha. Kofi mawatini, Lekha,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:33
			honesty in meeting, when you give
a man your word honor, your word
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:38
			you know. In bidaya One nihaya,
there is an amazing narration when
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:44
			Hosea FA bin Yaman, Hosea far and
his father al Yaman were migrating
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:49
			from makatul mukarrama to Medina
Tul munawara. This migration
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:54
			coincided with the Battle of Badr
so the NABI of Allah was leaving
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58
			from Medina. Josefa and his father
al Yaman left from makatul
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:04
			mukarrama On the way to medinawa.
As they exited from Makkah, Joseph
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:11
			and his father, aliaman, were
intercepted by Abu Jahl. Abu jahal
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:16
			looks at Josefa, and he says, If I
release you, you will go to
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:20
			Medina. You will join the ranks of
the Muslims in Medina. You will
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:24
			march towards Badr, and you will
fight against us in the Battle of
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:29
			Badr. Hence we will not release
your periods. Hosea Fabin Yaman,
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:34
			after much negotiations, he looks
at Abu Jahl, and he said, I give
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:39
			you my words that release me, and
I promise you we will not fight
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:43
			against you in the Battle of Badr.
Abu Jahl, somehow he was
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:48
			convinced. He said, Okay, Hosea
far, I will release you on
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:53
			condition that you do not join the
ranks of the Muslims and fight
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:57
			against us in the Battle of Badr.
He said, done deal. Joseph in
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:01
			Yaman. He is then released by Abu
Jahl when he comes to the
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:06
			outskirts of Medina, the NABI of
Allah is walking towards brother,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:11
			Josefa bin Yaman, he said, O Nabi
of Allah, can I join you? Nabi Adi
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			Salam says, by all means. And as
they are walking, listen to this,
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:20
			my brother, as they are walking.
Hosea Fabin Yaman, he taps the
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			NABI of Allah. He said, Could I
have a moment? He says, My father
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:29
			and I were migrating from Makkah
to Medina, and we were intercepted
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:34
			by Abu jahal. Abu jahal feared
that we will join the ranks of the
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:39
			Muslims and fight against him in
the Battle of Badr. And I just
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:45
			gave him my word just to appease
him and to release myself from the
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:51
			clutches of Abu Jahl. Can I join
you read the narration my
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			brothers? Nabi Ali Salam looks who
was Abu Jahl. He was the firaoun
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:01
			of this ummah. Nabi Ali Salam
looks at Hosea fab in Yaman and he
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:07
			said that verbal contract that you
had given Abu jahal, it is
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:13
			binding. You cannot join us in the
Battle of Badr. Why you have given
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			Abu jahal Your words?
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:23
			Hosea fab in Yaman, he does not
enjoy the privilege of being a
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:29
			Badri sahabi, why? Because the
word that he had given to Abu Jahl
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			was binding. What did the NABI of
Allah say the Hari so Bukhari
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:39
			Jibril comes down, mata uduna,
ahala, Badr. How do you view the
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			participants of Badr? Nabi
arisalam says they are senior in
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			rank to my other. Sahaba Jibreel
tells the NABI of Allah, Waka
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			Dali, Kaman Shahid a badraminal
Malaika, similarly, those angels
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:56
			that aided the Muslims in the
Battle of Badr are senior in rank
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			to the other angels of Allah and
Imam Bukhari has written, He said,
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:06
			Any person who will take the names
of the Shuhada of Badr and make
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			dua guaranteed your duas will be
accepted.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:17
			So what did the NABI of Allah tell
Joseph the verbal word that you
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:23
			are given? Abu Jahl, it is
binding. My Nabi said, Al Ida,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:28
			today, noon, when you give a man
your word, it's like a debt on
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:32
			your shoulders. So what did he
say? The qualities that were found
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			in the time of jahiliyya,
gratefulness, to be patient, to be
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:41
			honest. What rather abimurril
kada, happiness on the bitter
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:45
			choices of fate. Many a times,
things would happen in your life
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:50
			which are not appeasing and
striking but to accept it. This is
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:55
			the will of the Almighty Allah And
number five, never dare to rejoice
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			on the tragedy of any person in
the world. Don't read.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			Joys on the tragedy of any person
in the world. Nabi Ali Salam
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:10
			looked at Al kama he said, What
can I tell you? Fukaha, udaba,
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:17
			Kadu ayaku No ambiya, those who
possess those 15 qualities, they
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:22
			possess the attributes of ambiya
and prophets. Nabi Ali Salam gave
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27
			him a broad smile, and he said, O
alkama, those are your 15
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:31
			qualities. Let me give you another
five, and you have the best of
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:37
			both the worlds. Number one, la
tejma, o malat, o
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:44
			al Kamal. My first advice to you
is, do not gather so much that you
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:51
			would never live to eat. Number
two, la tabanu Mala telun, don't
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:56
			build so many dwellings that you
will never live in and reside
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:02
			there in. Number two. Number
three, la Tena fasu, FEMA anhu,
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:08
			Kadan te don't vie and compete
with one another in things that
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			you would leave behind tomorrow.
Number four, what the Kulla,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:18
			haladi, elehito Sharon, fear the
Almighty Allah unto whom is your
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:25
			ultimate return. And number five,
incline towards those deeds that
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:30
			will benefit you in your grave and
the subsequent stages of deaths.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34
			Allahu, Akbar, you know, Hassan
Radi Allahu, talaanu, like we
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:40
			spoke about peaceful coexistence,
my brothers, we live in a non
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:46
			Muslim country. We have co existed
with other faiths. We live in
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:51
			harmony. You know, the question we
need to ask ourselves is, I
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:56
			returned from the UK not long ago,
and many a times you meet reverts
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:01
			who come into the fold of Islam,
and you ask them, What motivated
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:05
			you, what inspired you, you know,
to come into this beautiful
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:10
			religion. You know, my brothers,
my word Allah, Be my witness, my
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:16
			heart cries. Many of them have
said, I am grateful to the
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:22
			Almighty Allah that I was first
introduced to Islam before being
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:27
			introduced to Muslims. I am
grateful to the Almighty Allah
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:32
			that I was first introduced to
Islam before being introduced to
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:41
			Muslims. If my first introduction
to Islam was via Muslims, I doubt
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:46
			I would have accepted this
beautiful religion, my brothers,
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:52
			my message to you is, if you
cannot become an ambassador to
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:57
			Islam, do not become an obstacle.
If you cannot become an ambassador
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:02
			to this beautiful religion, do not
become an obstacle. Hasan Radi
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:06
			Allahu, Tala Anhu, the beloved
grandson of the NABI of Allah. He
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:11
			walks into a garden and he sees a
beggar, a slave, sitting on the
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:17
			floor, and next to him is a dog.
My brothers, we live on a common
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:22
			planet. We share a common
platform. The Nabi of Allah was
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:28
			the NABI of not only the human
kind, not only the jinn kind.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:33
			Today, they speak about animal
welfare. My Nabi spoke about the
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:38
			rights of animals. 1400 years ago,
Hassan is sitting this beggar is
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:43
			sitting on the floor, and the dog
is next to him. He's got a slice
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			of bread in his hands, and this
beggar takes the slice of bread
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:52
			and he breaks it in two. He gives
half to the dog and he eats the
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:58
			other half. Hasan was moved. He
looks at this beggar, and he said,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:03
			What prompted you, what motivated
you to do this? You were hungry.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07
			You could have eaten the slice of
bread alone. What did he say?
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:16
			Istahad ainaya mean Aina who he
says, I had literally seen hunger
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:21
			in the eyes of this dog. I could
not, for the sake of me, eat the
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:26
			slice of bread alone, knowing that
there is another creation of Allah
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			that is going hungry. These were
human beings. You know, Swan bin
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:37
			omeya, the NABI of Allah, is
herding a flock of goats and sheep
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:41
			in the valley of Makkah. Sofwan
bin umayya. He was very Muslim at
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
			that time, and he was totally
impressed. I mean, like, I always
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			say, my brothers, you know,
somebody is driving a smart car,
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			and you find a youngster, you
know, trying to walk around the
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			car. What do you tell him? Hey,
listen, my boy, that's the
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			closest, don't touch. That's the
closest you can get to my car.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Don't touch. You know, from a
distance, he's fine.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Maybe. Adi salaam looked at Swan
bin omaya. He said, you like what
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:07
			you see. He said, Of course, I
like what I see. Nabi. Adi salaam
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:14
			said, don't just like it. You can
have it. Don't just like it. I
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			gift it to you.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:22
			Where will we find this today? My
brothers the swan bin omeya. He
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:28
			goes back to his nation, and he
says, ya Qom Asli mu for Allah, He
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:34
			inna Muhammad, la you ate at an O,
my people go and embrace Islam. I
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:38
			promise you this man, Muhammad,
has not come to take away your
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:42
			money. He has come to give you
money the entire tribe, according
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:48
			to the commentators, 2000 of them,
except Islam, at the hands of the
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			NABI of Allah,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53
			Hassan of the Allahu anhu, asked
this beggar, tell me who is your
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:58
			master? He said, a ban, you know,
smirn. So he goes and he finds a
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02
			burn bin Osman. He said, Tell me,
is that your slave? Yes. Does the
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			garden belong to you? Yes. How
much do you want for both the
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:09
			slave and the garden? He said, I
want an X amount. He gives him the
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:13
			money. Hassan RadiAllahu talami
comes back to the slave, and he
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			said, on the token of
appreciation, what I had seen, I
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:20
			purchased you from your master.
Hence I liberate you. I bought
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:24
			this garden from your master. I
gifted to you. You know, Abdullah
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:28
			bin Mubarak had a non Muslim
neighbor. He puts the house on the
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:32
			market, and he asked for
exorbitant price. People tell him,
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:36
			how do you expect to fetch that
price? He says, no, no one is the
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:41
			price of the house. But more
important than that, the man who
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:45
			will move into my house will have
the privilege of being the
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:49
			neighbor of Abdullah bin Mubarak.
When Abdullah bin Mubarak heard
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:53
			about this, he was blown away. He
comes to his neighbor and he said,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			You know what, I'm impressed at
your kind sentiment about me. I
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			mean, today, sometimes Muslims
move into the neighborhood, the
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:05
			prices go down, so Abdullah bin
Mubarak looks at him, and he said,
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:09
			How about me inviting you to
Islam? He looks at Abdullah bin
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:14
			Mubarak. He said, What can I tell
you, the day you move next door, I
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			looked at your character. I became
a Muslim.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			The day you moved next door, I
looked at your character, I became
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:24
			a Muslim. My brother study the
seerah. I will just leave you with
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:28
			a few narratives I will end
shortly, the NABI of Allah
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:32
			migrates from Mecca to Medina, the
journey of Hijra. We all know this
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:37
			narrative Nabi Ali Salam. It was a
secretive journey with divine
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:42
			inspiration. Nabi Ali Salam leaves
not with the intention. The
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46
			journey was not the intention of
dawah. It was a secretive journey,
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			very discreetly the NABI of Allah
departed from Makkah to Medina,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:56
			but study the narrations every
step of this journey, people were
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:01
			attracted to Islam. They accepted
Islam suraq, the man who was
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:06
			tempted, would 100 camels as he
approaches the NABI of Allah, the
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			earth split, and his animals
started sinking into the earth.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:14
			Maybe arisalam looked at him and
he smiled. Suraka says, Forgive
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:18
			me. Maybe arisalam said, You're
forgiven. He then comes closer. He
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			wants to attack the NABI of Allah.
The Earth split and he starts
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:28
			sinking. Second time. Nabi Ali
Salam smiled at him. Suraq, he
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:32
			realized, you know what, leave
around 100 camels. I lose my own
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:37
			horse. I've got no chance. He goes
back to Makkah, and he says, Abu
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			Jahl, I promised you this man,
Muhammad, accept Islam, accept the
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:45
			faith, accept the faith, embrace
the faith. Nabi arisalam then
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:49
			continues, Allahu Akbar. You know
Nabi arisalam comes to the
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			outskirts of Medina. I mean, my
brothers, it's a volatile
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:59
			situation in your marriage. Do not
exacerbate the problem. Do not
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:03
			exacerbate the problem. There was
a person by the name of bureda al
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:09
			Islami, and as Nabi Ali Salam is
about to enter Medina bureida al
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:15
			aslami. He has 70 men around him
with the intention to ambush the
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:20
			NABI of Allah, to assassinate the
NABI of Allah as they surround the
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:26
			NABI of Allah, Abu Bakr, Amir Ibn
fahara, Abdullah bin arikat Nabi
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			Ali Salam looked at 70 of them
standing around wanting to
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:34
			assassinate Nabi Ali. Salam said,
Who is the leader amongst you? So
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:38
			one person steps forward. Nabi Ali
Salam looked at him. I mean, this
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:43
			is diplomacy. This was the NABI of
Allah, you know, to calm a
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:48
			volatile situation. Nabi Ali Salam
asked him, What is your name? He
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			said, my name. If you understand
Arabic, you will appreciate this
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:57
			narrative. He says, My name is
bored. Boreda in Arabic is derived
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			from the word Bard, which means
cool. It's.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			Banyans, and he said, Oh my
Sahaba, I have forgiven this man.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:08
			No one should point a finger
against him. Worry Nabi Allah has
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:12
			given us, my brothers. This is the
month of Rabbi Al awwal. In fact,
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:16
			my time is up. There's so much
more I could have told you. You
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:20
			know ikrama, who was the son of
Abu Jahl. Abu Jahl was the firaoun
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:24
			of this ummah. At the conquest of
Makkah, he flees from Mecca, and
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			he boards onto a ship. And the
ship was about to sink, and peep,
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:32
			he starts turning to his deity. So
people on the ship tell him,
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:36
			ikramah, here your deities won't
help you. You have to turn to the
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:40
			true Allah. Like they say in
English, there is no atheist or a
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:45
			sinking ship. Oh, my God, there is
no atheist on a sinking ship. So
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:49
			in the center of the ocean,
ikramah, he picks up his hands, he
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:52
			said, Oh May Allah, I promise you,
if you grant me deliverance and
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:57
			crisis, when I go back to land, I
will pledge my allegiance to Islam
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:01
			and to Muhammad. Ikramah was the
son of Abu jahal was the firaoun
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:05
			of this ummah. His wife comes to
the NABI of Allah, and she said, I
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:10
			want to be of Allah. My husband,
ikrama, he fled from Makkah,
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:14
			fearing that you will kill him. I
have come to ask you forgive my
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:18
			husband. Nabi Ari Salam. Do not
say I will think about it. One
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:22
			word, who Amin, I have forgiven
him. I have forgiven him this.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:27
			Ikramah, when he comes back to
shore, his wife embraces him, and
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:31
			she says, don't delay the matter.
Allah's Nabi has forgiven you.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:35
			Ikramah, he comes in front of
Muhammad, sallAllahu sallam, and
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:39
			he said, My wife claims to say you
have forgiven me. Nabi Ali Salam
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:43
			says, the claim of your wife is
correct? He said, such wrongs I
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			have done to you and Islam. He
said, Indeed, you are the NABI of
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:50
			Allah. He said, Oh Muhammad, make
dua for me. Nabi alaihi salam
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:53
			picks up his hands in dua, Oh
Allah, forgive this man for every
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:57
			hatred he displayed to me and
Islam. Forgive him every time he
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			tried to extinguish your light and
the light of Islam, it comes in
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:06
			the narrations the same ikramah.
He started sobbing and crying. He
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			said, Oh, Muhammad, I've done such
wrong to you, but still you have
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			it in your heart to forgive me.
Indeed you are going to be of
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:16
			Allah, my brothers, multitudes of
examples we make dua to the
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:19
			Almighty Allah. Allah grant us the
Taufik and the ability that we
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:24
			take lessons like I said, we
coexist. Let us live in harmony
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:28
			with one another. We share a
common platform on Mother Earth,
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:32
			in your home, in your marriage, in
your business, in your workplace,
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:37
			in your community, show people the
beauty of Islam. If you cannot
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:41
			become an ambassador, do not
become an obstacle to Islam, we
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:44
			make dua to the Almighty Allah.
Allah grant us the Taufiq and the
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:48
			ability that we imbibe these
amazing advisors of Quran and
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:51
			Sunnah. And once again, it's an
absolute honor and a privilege,
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:54
			you know, to visit you in this
beautiful masjid. And I would just
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:57
			like to thank the trustees and the
board and the aim, you know, for
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:01
			once again, inviting us Inshallah,
if Allah grants us life, we will
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			visit you again. Wamba, ali na il
al balaq.
