Muhammad West – Caliphs – Episode 07

			We live in shaytani r rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu
salam ala Shafi mursaleen syedna Mohammed Ali he was a beloved brothers and sisters in Islam.
Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		

			are y'all doing hamdulillah shala so schottische Clos because my hope is early, I think from next
week will probably continue off the mothership. So that's fine. So it's a bit of a short claws up
into Mahara. So last week, we were talking about the campaign's of parliamo, leader on the line in
Indonesia. So we still was happening at the same time, is a western frontier, which is really the
major frontier into Syria, Palestine. That is we parking that for now. So this actually happening,
they will talk about that in Sharla, in weeks to come. The eastern side is where we focused on and
Hollywood's objective was to capture hero hero, which is the capital of Iraq. Iraq is an Arab
		

			country, but under the rule of the Persians in Iran, the Persians in Iran, the ruling Arab region.
So how did we get into from the south, he meets hormoz, he was a very prominent man in the Persian
court, he ruled the southern area of Iraq, the Iraq is the north of Saudi. So that area, and we see
how he basically got almost a move from left and right and his army kept chasing Khalid, until his
army was completely exhausted, and so far throughout the land, and the Muslims had a massive victory
and defeated this man.
		

			When they moved on, and the Persian army was most of the army managed to escape. And then there was
this battle at the river, the Battle of the river, we said where they had the backs face to the
river, they said Khalid strategy is always come from the side and attack you. So if we blocked them
from the river, then they can't defeat us. But then he was able to push them into the river, and
many of them drowned, and many of them, but again, a lot of them escaped every time Khalid rhodiola,
and Muslims of the army, the Muslims are able to defeat the Persians, the armies, the bulk of it
manages to escape and regroup. And Holly, as we see these, his predicament was, we could manage to
		

			push them when many battles but we can't keep fighting like this, our resources are limited, our
mean are limited, the Persians have a massive, you know, the quantity is huge. Also, interestingly,
we said, we have the first was a battle of the chains, that's the first one is called the chains
where they were tied up. The second one is the Battle of the river, and the leader of the back of
the river, Batman, he actually survived the battle, and he went to DC from the capital of Persia.
Now he's the overall general in command of the Persian army. He is the commander in chief, and his
job is now to, to safeguard this. So he sent two armies at the same time, from purchase in one army.
		

			And then a few days later, he sent a second army, both these armies are huge in number, maybe 10
times the size of Harlots army. And the objective was, so obviously raising an army takes a while,
he managed to raise one army, and he sent that through. I mean, he's busy raising a second army.
		

			So he did it alone. And this all happens within a matter of weeks, we're not talking months or going
by the army of how to draw your line into Iraq around March in the fib within April is now moving
forward. So it's me already, and the first army arrives. And soon he gets to know that the Second
Army is on its way, either he waits at least two armies joint and some majorly big army, all he
needs to move on quickly and fight against, so no time really to rest and recover, to wage a war. So
the objective of this next battle, so we had the Battle of the chains, the Battle of the river, the
next one is called the Battle of Elijah, the Battle of Fallujah. And yeah, he understood the
		

			objective of this battle, I need to not only win, but I need to annihilate this army, I need to make
sure that the bulk of his army does not survive and joins this mixed army that's coming. And so I
think we ended up last week, we said he completely hid his cavalry in the desert, and he allowed his
center so he allowed his troops to get pushed and pushed and pushed. And the army the enemy army got
to such a point where they actually thought they were going to overrun the Muslims, when he signaled
for his cavalry to come out. And we said in the history, there are only two battles in all of
history that they say two major battles, a very famous general called Hannibal. Hannibal Lecter the
		

			cannibal named after this man, there was a great general called Hannibal, and he almost invaded Rome
side with digressing here many many centuries ago, North Africa, Libya, basically we Libya East
there was a city called Carthage. And this army of Hannibal was so powerful that it marched all the
way from North Africa into Spain across Spain and invaded Rome, right so this man Annabelle was a
very dangerous man. For the Romans. He's like seen as as a barbarian and he managed to defeat one of
his tactics completely surrounded you so highly managed to do this tactic completely surrounded the
army of the Imperial Army of the Persians and you completely annihilated them. Just as this army was
		

			defeated, the second Army Now arrives, and the fourth battle is called the Battle of lace. So
		

			We have changed river, water and the Battle of police. We don't know, the books that we still don't
explain much the Battle of police is just an all out fight to the death. Now, this is the last
Persian army holiday rodeo and the Sahaba throw everything at it and Alhamdulillah Polish this, it
makes it great to Allah. If we survive this battle, then you know this, the fourth again on the
banks of the river, he says that this river will turn into into basically the blood of the enemies.
And so behind Allah, you know, partly through the grace of Allah managed to defeat this army of four
spectacular victories within two months, which leaves Persia basically unguarded. And now the route
		

			to Halo. Remember that the objective was here, the route is open. And he gets to the city on the way
around as he gets to the city. The Defenders don't have the the governor of the city is not a very
prominent man, he saw these armies falling one by one, he sends his son with a small detachment of
troops to try and put up some resistance, they get swept aside very easily. And the governor
abandons hero and they leave to the Persians leave here. And they go back to DC from the Capitol. As
I said, Iraq is an Arab country, but they've been ruled by an elite plus maybe like you think like
the colonial times, you would have external people that are ruling the majority. So now these rulers
		

			are running back to the capital, and they leaving the city basically unguarded. So how about the a
lot in the Sahaba, and the armies into the city of hero, which is perhaps the biggest city they've
ever up until this point, no city of the size has been captured. And even the professor Lam
mentioned, the city is one of the big cities of the world. I mean, if you think of that, you know,
the New York's and palaces was a massive city. It's a it's a big city for for them as Arabs. And
they even saw wealth like this before. And it was so wealth of this magnitude in their life. And so
when they get to the city of Iraq, the majority of the people they had said that they said, Look,
		

			we're not here, we don't want to fight, we will pay whatever GCR that you want. But there were
certain fortresses in the city that remained hostile, and they tried to remain to fight it out. So
there was a brief siege. And eventually, these kings, these Arab kings, decided that Luke is not
going to work out. So they send an old man basically to negotiate with Khalid and this old man, his
name is Abdullah Massey, the slave of the Messiah, obviously the Christian, obviously, this name is
haram. From our perspective, you can't be the slave of anyone besides the slave of Allah, very, very
old man. And he's a very famous man, he was known to be a scholar, known to be a well known person,
		

			and he begins to speak to Hollywood on the lawn. And this dialogue is recorded in in the books of
history and in Hollywood speaks to him and he is wise and he's humorous and Holly can understand
what the man is saying. So he speaks in patterns he speaks in riddles. So like harlot for example,
axiom. Tell me about the time like why do you look so sad to you? What do you remember from all your
age in history, so the man like was a man is very old. So he says, I remember a time when a woman
walked from my city to Damascus with a loaf of bread. So understanding what he means what this old
man is saying that I lived in a time when things were so peaceful, the Persian Empire was so strong
		

			that there was so much law and order India but those days are over. And basically this empire has
now come to an end and this man has a pouch with him. And you know Khalid, as I said before we get
to the pouch party now offers him the terms this is look we're not coming here to kill anybody.
We're not here to harm anyone. I give you the standard three choices. If you want to fight we'll
fight firstly if you embrace Islam then you are with us. Whatever we get you get with it we suffer
we suffer we are in this together. If you don't want to accept Islam, your religion your places of
worship your women everyone is safe, you pay us attacks easier and you come under the protection of
		

			the Muslim slate and if you resist then the standard line is I will send you a group of people who
love this as much as you love life who chase after this as hard as you chase after life so you
choose and this old man says my people have no interest in fighting you and we have no interest in
your religion. So we will pay you the jizya and in order to ask him what's this pouch you have Yeah,
so he says this is poison India that if it turns out that you were a man that we couldn't negotiate
because everyone hears about this holiday and really this this warlord this rebel but if you were a
monster like people have said when I would rather take this poison then see my city, you know being
		

			brought to destruction policies, we're not here for that basically. So now it says okay, fine. What
is the jizya What do you want us to pay as taxes? So policies, they are three provisions that we
want as jizya number one, the city must pay about 200,000 Durham's Durham's is not a dinar is like a
gold coins basically 200,000 silver coins for the year. This is very little much, much less than the
Persians were taking we were surprised not so much and we want one settle was one of the soldiers
that I don't ever settle. My I lost my settlement in the battle. So we want one settle from the this
army and then this man because he was very famous he had a very famous daughter which is very
		

			beautiful. And he said look your daughter is one of these
		

			on the list because one of the soldiers was promised this now this goes back. Now a lot of this in
the books of history, I couldn't verify. And Heidi, one of the Sahaba, the unknown men, whale whale
is his name. He was according to the books of history as a side note, let me take a side note here,
you have books of Hadith. Hadith has been authentically checked, it's gone through it's been
verified to be audited. And that's where the tick is there. We know 100% who said this, then to a
degree Sahih Bukhari Sahih. Muslim to a degree just below it, but it's so you know, you can rely on
this we have to me the Buddha would also authentic, then you have lots of books of history, where
		

			stories are Indian, Allahu Allah, if they are authentic or not authentic, you know, we don't know
how true it is. You find, for example, stories when the person was born, this happened and that
happened, who was there to see these things, but they are in the books of history. We don't know.
Now you find the story in poverty. We it mentions that avviso salam was explaining to the Sahaba a
time will come when we will get to Hera, we'll get to this great city like Paris, we'll get there.
Now, the Sahaba knew and heard about this famous lady Kadima of Hera, very famous, beautiful, like
you know, the supermodel of a time and this young the Sahabi said, sort of life I get the Can I be
		

			of those and he said, You will be of those who will be part of the army shooting, and he said, No, I
get this lady Karima. So he said to him, you will get this lady Kadima. So now when they were
growing up the terms for it only said 200,000 theorems, and then once a hobby said, Look, I need to
settle. Okay, fine. We'll put this on the list also want to settle? And in this manchukuo said, the
prophet was promised me I'll get this lady Karima Khalid silica it's quite strange, but I mean, you
have witnesses and apparently they were witnesses which is false. If this was agreed, then you will
get this lady came up. So he puts this on the list. And so the women were crying that this Karima
		

			lady must not go to the Sahabi and he's excited this beautiful woman will be his and we can talk
about captives and slaves of war inshallah next week if we want to, and in this lady comes to him
and he realizes this lady is in her 80s she is an old lady. He used to be the beauty queen and he
realized a lot but I've made a huge mistake. So he sees like this. This lobbies like shocked and he
tweeted something else. So if you said to him what used to have when old lady What do you want with
me? So he says Okay, you know what, let's make an agreement. I'll set you free, but there must be a
price. What price so it says okay 1000 Durham's, as we say the dyrham is a silver coin, like 1000
		

			Rand. So she said okay, fine, like she was quite surprised, and she paid it. And so when the Sahaba
heard this man, he later go 4000 Durham's, they will love this, this lady is worth so much more. Why
did you choose a number like that? So this is I never knew that this is a number bigger than $1,000
homes. I never thought there was a number that big, bigger than that, right? So this just shows you
this, some of the Sahaba will be simple people and compared to the Persians, which were a cultured
civilized people. And they expected that the Muslims would come and plunder and take whatever they
want and ran away. And now it was important, more important than conquering land was how do you
		

			introduce Islam and how do you introduce governance. And so, this army was very, very disciplined.
And he ensured the Sahaba as we said, that if you pay the jizya, which is even less than you were
paying to the Persians, then you are safe that if any person harms you, even if those who have
conquered you now harms your people, then they will be they will be punished. And of course as the
rules that were able was taken as tribute, a portion of it goes back to the beaten man to Medina,
and now Abubakar has become accustomed to receiving every week later, the army was victorious. And
here are the spoils the spoils of war. And he mentions after this conquest he says if only the is
		

			the time was finalized, I don't think the time will come when women will give birth to the likes of
this man right this harden worried about the alarm. We won't see people like this. China has done
his job within three months mission accomplished Congress hero. So what do I do next? So he gets the
permission from a bucket you can go further further northwards if you want to the north, a few more
cities, the next city on the list and I mean, again, I should show you the map inshallah. Next week
is following the river all the way north. So this is the river on the one side is Iran. Right. The
one side is Iran. watc. One is the other side is still Iraqis. Khalid is sticking to the Iraqi side.
		

			And he continues north along the river. And there's a city called amber I think today this city of
Amber, it gets to the city of amber and for the first time they see a city not just walls with
walls. It has a moat you know to emote emote is that you know in the in the Facebook's very stealth
is like this water thing. Right? You've gone into the castle. So now they've got this moat here, and
the Sahaba, unable to cross over and he sees the city and these people are not really prepared for
fighting, but there's no soldiers and they're not prepared. But how do we get across the moat into
into the city and so hard
		

			With Ravi Alon, he has a very smart move. He looks at all the animals that are weak and dying of
animal rights, but the purpose is also for jihad. So he says, Bring me all the animals that we can't
use anymore. That's basically meant to be slaughtered for eating. So they slaughtered them. And they
threw them in the moat. And they created a bridge of camel carcasses, basically. And they shot the
arrows up at the defenders. And so they were scaling the walls of the fortress climbing up to the
cost of the walls. And while they were doing this, again, the defenders realized that there is not
much we can do. And so they they surrounded the fortress, and again, not much fighting, and the
		

			castle of amber was surrendered, moves on to the next city in a turmoil, right? So we moving on from
one city to the next, moves to another city. And in this city, this was a unique city. So the city
was a little stronger. And it had two rulers, it had a Persian ruler, and an Arab King, an Arab kind
of King. And so the Persian was always smarter skip ahead of the Arab, he's such praising this, the
Persian is praising these co pilots, you know, the Arab and saying, you know what, clearly, we've
seen how hard it has defeated one army of the next, perhaps the only people that can fight with
Arabs or Arabs. Yes, that's right. Only you guys know how to deal with your own people. We Persians
		

			are not equipped to fight your kind of people. So why don't you and your Arabs fight against Khalid
and if you are victorious, then we can see clearly you are the man. But if if you are struggling,
then we will come and we will support you. And so this Arab King buttered up, he feels good. And he
goes out to the army and easily and he wishes to meet holiday early on in battle. His name is a car
or a car, right so he comes out and Harley Ludhiana. Now by now Harley's armies are veterans, they
fought so many battles now experienced, these guys are not really a match. And he wants to end the
battle very quickly. So he tells his army, let them attack us, the Army's always stationed like
		

			this, you have a center and two wings, and let them attack us and the wings will just keep them
occupied. And so they actually coming in the attacking, and holiday armies not really engaging
fully. It's not engaging fully. And then he takes a few of these elite soldiers himself Akaka some
of the strong guys, and he charges in any captures the general instead of fighting a battle, if we
just capture the king, then this will be enough to to scale exactly what he did. He captured the
general and so the entire army flees and runs back. And when they get back to the city, they find
that the Persians that really lift the Persians have lived, they've gone back to discipline. And
		

			they basically close the doors and all of them were captured. So now, heartbroken, had captured most
of Iraq. And he was starting to really spend time to put together policies and put together systems
in place, not just conquering, but now it's time to rule. And this is a big difference. I said, this
is really the first time in our history, that Islamic armies into a foreign land. So all the history
up to the Muslims in Medina, being invaded by the kurush, defending, defending, defending, fighting
against for survival. Now we on the offensive end, it's important to see how you are as winners.
This is really the taste of the kind of religion that you have. How do you act when you are willing
		

			to be humble in victory. So like the Navy SEAL, salam, when he conquered Makkah, he entered Makkah,
and His head was lowered so much that his beard was touching his camel just to come into the city
without any pride. Not long after this, a few years after this would see Satan armor entering
Jerusalem, the same way walk you saw the writing into the city as a conqueror. And this is important
for us as Muslims, when we conquered these cities, and we ensure that those people remain on the
religion. And if people were safe, the women were safe. So he's now organizing Iraq, and he even
returns back to Iraq. And the people of Iraq, we just got conquered recently, they actually singing
		

			for him that, you know, the he's our champion is our hero, that he liberated us from the Persians,
the people of Iraq are beginning to see it new management. And it's scary when new management walks
in. But this new management is better than the old management. And Holly writes a letter to the
Persians, and he invites them to Islam. And he says, Allah sent us to sort of disrupt your plans and
your empire. And then he says, but this is a blessing for you, because of Allah lift you without us
coming to call you there'll be no worse for you to meet our like that this really we've come not to,
to harm you, but we're coming to bring you to something which is better. So take heed with this. And
		

			also the victories that you've seen, is not from us, rather, it is a sign that we've got the
assistance of a lot while he's the while he's sitting up his campaign. He gets a letter from
aboubaker on the lawn with a Muslim army that we're seeing is struggling. So another army of the
Muslims had been sent to Facebook
		

			Enemy in Arabia, in Arabia. Again, these names are difficult. It's called DOMA to gender. So this is
equal to gender right is a city. And this Muslim army was seen months ago to basically into this
area, but it was stuck, couldn't move forward, so hard to draw the line is fine, I can go there. And
I can I can assist the Muslims in this area. And so he comes forward from Iraq, he leaves Iraq, and
he enters now, the north of Arabia. And so what happened was the Muslims are besieging a city,
right, so the people of the city, they are unable to beat the Muslims and the Muslims don't have the
strength to enter the city. So it's a stalemate. You know, it's four months, it's just like this. No
		

			one is moving, no one is going forward or back. And so hard to draw the line is coming now to to
break the siege. And just before he reaches the city, now the news arrives, and look, the sky harden
has come. And again, his name is now widespread. Everyone has heard this jewel, who has now defeated
army off the army. And so these Arab kings, the Christian, they get together and they think, should
we just surrender? Or should we fight this man, one of them says, Look, I've met him before in
battle. And he's the luckiest of all the Arabs for them. Of course, they believe all this is luck.
These victories are luck. There's no such concept that he's got the assistance of Allah. And if you
		

			and some of those that if you want to fight them, we're not going to fight this guy, because we
can't beat him. He's unbeatable. Yeah, some luck around him. Whatever he does, he's victorious. So I
will surrender and some of them lift, but there is state. And so how did you learn? It comes in. And
he basically what he's veterans now it's very easy for them. They know the deal. They know how to do
it. And they conquer basically liberate they defeat the defenders of the city, and they conquer the
middle gender, as this is happening as we see this a war happening on the Western Front. And things
are not going so well for the Sahaba against the Romans. So they fighting the Romans and the
		

			Persians, the same, the harlot is victorious, and he's winning Battle of the battle. But the armies
in the West are struggling. And this is we said the most senior Sahaba are fighting in this area,
the big names of the Sahaba fighting in that area, and they are struggling and soon is going to get
a message to leave the Eastern Front to leave Persia and move into Iraq moved from Iraq to to Syria.
So how do you draw the line not there's so many little battles that occur at this time. He is
stationed in his conquered now all of Iraq, right Taliban is conquered all of Iraq, and he receives
news that the armies of the West are struggling and the emperor of Persia, the emperor of Rome
		

			heraclius has put together a huge army and Abu Zubaydah writes an emergency letters.
		

			And again, this is a name that you must know. Abu Zubaydah enoggera is one of the 10 promised Jenna
one of the first people to embrace Islam, Abu Zubaydah, every single battle with Neville Salaam. He
was the every single big evening that he'd ever seen. Yeah, the hegira to Medina, but every single
and I said he's if you want just one story to remind you of him in the Battle of opioid women evisa
salams armor when his face was injured, this was at a one on one side, and on the other side, he was
hit with a sword. So both sides Yes, things in his cheek, Abu Zubaydah was the man that pulled it
out of his teeth and broke his teeth. He broke his front teeth like this Abu Zubaydah, okay. And he
		

			abou beta also is the man who went there to choose a halifa with abubaker was Omar and Abu Bakr and
Abu Zubaydah. And abubaker says, choose one of these men choose Omar Abu Zubaydah as your alpha, so
you get to know about beta is a very senior man. So he's the overall chief of them, the commander in
chief of the Muslims in the West, and he likes to advocate, I can't handle this, I am not prepared
for this battle, this kind of fighting. I don't have the expertise. So let Holly Leave, leave Iraq
and come here to sit here and help us a year how sucks 11 years now he's winning, we struggling
here. And the emperor of Rome himself, is fighting against us just too often before mother. So Holly
		

			gets the letter, and the time is urgent, I need to get to Syria. There's two routes to Syria, one,
taking this one road, to go through the road into Syria, and to get to Syria by the road. But this
is a very difficult there are a lot of fortresses along the way, many armies along the way, it's
going to get long, it's gonna be a lot of fighting. The other road, not really a road is to go
through the desert. And this one, this desert is a week long trip with no water, there's no wells or
anything along the way. And so again, he speaks to his Sahaba ami that has now been so successful.
And he said, Look, let's once again put our Eman in Allah, we have one victory of the victory. Let's
		

			take this route through the desert a week without water. No army has done this before. No army has
crossed the city and desert. In fact, I was I was reading up on some of the genocides of past what
employers would do in that area. They would make you walk through the city and desert and you die.
That desert was no
		

			For the that it will ever goes into the desert. You don't survive that because there's no water. So
Holly tells his commanders look, let's take this. And by now this is the self belief that we can
conquer. We can do everything anything. We need to get to help the Muslims on the western frontier.
So the army agrees we're going to go through the desert. And so this 18,000 men that had now
basically put the Persians to the knees, crosses the city and desert. And as the water within two,
three days, obviously, the water runs up. What are we going to do? They actually slow to the camels.
And we know what's inside the camel, the hump, this had water inside, it's fat, but this they got is
		

			full of the food they eat. So there's not water. It's like, hey, that is damp. And they obviously
started the camels. And they took this hay and they would suck on that, Hey, that was inside the
camels, abdomens. This was the water. And so the army survives. And they come out of the desert
behind the Roman frontier, the frontlines, like in the back. And so now he enters the sea. And what
he did in Persia, he's going to do now on the Roman frontier, which will lay the steps to the
conquest of Jerusalem, and the conquest of Damascus. Now, we told today, the cities here are DC
fine, we don't know of them. But Damascus, we know is a very big city in the world. Today is one of
		

			them. In fact, it's for history sake, it's the oldest city on earth is the city of Damascus. And
since then, Muslims have ruled that How did you become a Muslim city, this hardening will either
have your lawn conquered, and we'll talk about that next week in sha Allah sokola here. Any
questions? We're done for this evening, and we'll continue next week. sola Xena Mohammed
