			alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi many brothers and sisters in
Islam Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatu.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:49
			How y'all doing? from the last courtesy The clock is bigger hamdulillah it's good to see we can a
girl just in time for December and then take a break and then Ebola hamdulillah. And as you see the
lamanites good. The one thing about this class that is wonderful is that it has persisted 567 years
of ups and downs and 100 nights fee. Very good 101 of the things that we do in this class is that we
answer questions. And one of the functions of the masjid is to be an open platform where people can
ask because we don't want people not to ask. And we have questions. We all have questions. Some
questions are small, simple, easy, some questions are shocking. But if they don't ask in the masjid,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:56
			it's going to be asked outside and we don't know where the answer is going to come. So I actually
have a question today that was asked not from anyone yet in the measure from a student,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:35
			one of the universities running Cape Town, and you know, for the first time you have misuzu practice
in good Muslim households all their life, they go over to university, and they exposed to a totally
new lifestyle, and they're exposed to new questions and the foundation gets shaken. And so the
question goes something like this. Why do I have to make Salah? Why do I have to make salah and if I
don't put my understanding and po what the Quran says I will be punished. I'll probably go to
Jonathan forever. So number one, why does Allah need my sutra? And what my salah and if I don't do
it, why is he going to punish me? I understand the question. Now some of us may think that you call
		
00:01:35 --> 00:02:10
			yourself a Muslim? How can you ask a question like that? Even the fact that the person is asking a
question is a very good thing, because many do not even ask. They just don't. They don't even
worried about it. They just continue. So the fact that someone is coming forward and approaching any
mom, we impose and say, Look, I have a question, which I know might be a Chucky, but it's bothering
me. I want to understand this. And many times by now you my class, you know, I say that when someone
asked why should I do something in Islam? There's really two questions. There's a question for the
one who is a believer, I don't mean a non Muslim or someone who is has believed that you've reached
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:50
			that level whatever is in the Quran and Sunnah. Except I'm happy. I just want to know what the Quran
says. So when Muslim asks, you must, what must I do on Hajj you must thoroughly jamara seven times
Hamas was so nice, I accepted. The other question which is, which we getting a lot more common now
is what's the wisdom behind it? The reason? So I call someone off Why am I saying a job? I quote an
ayah Allah says call a law that you must wait no, no, I don't mean that. Why does a law see that
same as with a job? What's the wisdom and the reason? And for some most of the things of the Sharia.
The reason is very clear. I mean, even wise, Hamas, gambling, Zina, while these things how long? It
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:20
			is clear, you don't have to do a PhD. It's known that this is not good for you and Allah only and we
believe Allah only commands which is good. So we believe that whatever Allah commands there is
wisdom and benefit to us. Sometimes the wisdoms are clear. Sometimes Allah gives the wisdoms
sometimes the wisdom to think about why is mother of three and why the night Salas loud and the day
soft? No one has come up with an answer for that a lot. But these are wisdom, there's a reason
behind it as fissara What is the reason why must be performed.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:04:00
			Our purpose in this life is to have a connection with Allah. That is really why we need to have a
relationship with him. Allah subhanaw taala is our our existence will be judged at the end of the
day, how strong the connection is with Allah, the person who had no connection with Allah, when he
meets Allah, well, exactly, you meet someone that you have no connection with, no attachment with In
fact, if you are disobedient to that person and we make, we live with Allah, we don't give Allah we
don't make the likeness of Allah to anyone else. But we need to use this to understand so you can
understand versus someone who his whole life was to love Allah and growing closer to Allah. And now
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:39
			finally you need to Allah you mentioned that your whole life is built towards my loving and hoping
and when you finally meet Allah and of course if you love Allah, Allah loves you Even now, like any
relationship, it needs to put time and effort for those of us who are married, you know, certain
times you need to make time for that relationship on the anniversary on the birthday and you need to
put effort in and if you don't put that effort in that relationship is going to break down whether
it is your wife or your kids you need to put time in an effort and sometimes requires effort. Yes,
it's the relationship but love now many times people they will say I will perform Salah when I'm you
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:59
			know I want to perform Salah when I'm when I'm reading when my heart cries for Salah they don't but
for now Salah is a tool and the only reason why Salah is difficult is because our relationship is
one not of love with Allah yet. Our relationship with him is purely out of I obey equals I must and
if your relationship is sort of a transaction
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			On one eye, do something for you, you're not for you, you don't get the benefit, I do what you tell
me to do. And in exchange, I get some blessing and goodness out of it. And that's our relationship
with Allah. It's sort of a barter. And we said to Allah, this relationship is not needed. He's not
increased by our Salah noisy decreased, but we doing it so we can access the benefits in the
blessing of this relationship. As for the other one whose relationship reaches beyond that, are not
out of just obeying, but it's out of loving, doing it out of desire, doing it out of love, then he
will install enjoying and sustain the sweetness of Nevada, and SubhanAllah. You know, your Salah is
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:09
			really the gauge of the level of your life, how much how strong your mind is, some of us are
hamdulillah they if they were to win, the walk comes in. Immediately look, we can perform Salah, but
if I don't make sure that I don't feel easy, I feel uneasy. It's like when it's ingrained in me and
Al Hamdulillah for that. You find some people, it's a tool, I must do what I wait until the end, oh,
I've got five minutes. I'm scooping it makes Allah not great. But even in that he understands that
this is part of my life. I need to do this. It's my obligation. The person who leaves his work and
he comes to Juma even if the right at the end time says I can just get the last two minutes and get
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:47
			the Salah. Even in that this taqwa that I I acknowledge I have a commitment to a lot in my religion
that I need to do. And of course this guy in person who Swan Allah, the only added they are they
wait, when is the word coming into the melodyne goes, I'm ready for Salah. I'm excited, like when we
Swan Allah, when you go on those dates, and you still madly in love. Before the you know you have to
go the date is five o'clock or six o'clock you preparing the whole afternoon, you looking forward to
the reservations, because you're going to spend time with the one that you love. And when the one
time is finished you looking forward to the next. And that's that's the relationship that we have
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:25
			with Allah. So solder is that time that we put in for the relationship. And it doesn't this
relationship does not benefit align the least it only benefits us. And in that we see that some of
the most of the benefits is obviously in the era, when we see the benefit in the dunya as well as
Vince is here and isahaya alfalah this thing will give you success. Now you will be sick, your
health, your prediction all comes from Allah and of course not that he always punishing you by you
turning away from Allah, turning away from his prediction, turning away from his blessings. That in
itself is your own punishment, you've turned away, you've turned away from that mercy. Not that
		
00:07:25 --> 00:08:02
			Allah sort of pushed you away but you yourself to know as well says, but I'm as awful as Allah when
they turned away, they were turned away. So once they themselves moved away from me, then how does
anyone if you want to return to Allah, he's ready to accept you no matter how bad or far you've
gone. So just in the avoidance of Sunnah and losing out on the spiritual blessings and the dunya
blessings that in itself is a punishment with uncooked my janam and punishment and fire and XYZ, we
have to talk about those things, that when Allah says in a certain hanifa, Salah will keep you safe
from fracture, it keeps you away from certain sins, and you just need to see someone who is
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:42
			practicing Islam, they are practicing the Sunnah they and they increase the duty to us. And because
it becomes more and more difficult for them to fall into sin, unlikely they will go to parties and
drinking and those things. And as you start decreasing in your divider, as you start to slip away,
the other students start to increase. That's why when you end for those for those of us who are in
when we are in the extreme mode of ibadah, it becomes strange when we see a son that we used to, for
example, in Ramadan, in Ramadan, we are in extreme mode of divided fasting in the day playing at
night. And sometimes if you just take something which you took very likely before I'm upon a sudden
		
00:08:42 --> 00:09:23
			looking at how long how long, we have got the small, but when you heart has been through about a
little bit, you find all the shocking, someone who comes back from Morocco come back from Hajj, they
just see someone in the street addressing properly it should have. It's like you saw a naked person
now. But as we start losing that ibadah losing that connection, that connection goes away. And
before sin becomes easier, becomes simpler, it becomes more attractive. And that is part of the way
in which Allah benefits you and benefits us. So why do you have to perform Salah it is of course it
is the number one thing that shows your commitment to a law. That is the first first first thing you
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:59
			cannot say I believe in Allah. And I love Allah and I'm committed to a lie believe is a God. But I
don't spend any time with a god. I don't speak to that God, I don't have any kind of submission and
nearly what is that level of love? So this is the this is the first The main thing. And of course if
we took this a step further, for those of us who are believers, we believe in karma. This is the
first thing that will be questioned about the first thing that we will be judged on as our belief.
And if we succeed in that, then the rest of of your question we made easy so also don't
underestimate yourself. Is the quality's not great
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:36
			We all most of us, we make Sala like a chore, like washing dishes, no one likes it. And that's where
we are our amount, unfortunately, but still in that it's beautiful. Because still, you forcing
yourself, you're fighting that knifes, you're you have two sides, you have a bad side and the good
side and the good side is fighting overpowers him and you make thick when you make Salah. Okay,
that's goodness in that, yes, we hope that time will come when that bad side is not there anymore.
And you only have something which calls you towards evader calls you towards was that. And so it's a
process. This is the one person who's fighting and sometimes it's enough overpowers him in this
		
00:10:36 --> 00:11:12
			mixer. And then other times, he's not open, he makes one or two solos and he misses us on that
level. And his journey or her journey is to increase. And the way you increase is by doing more. The
more you evaluate you do the more strength you give to your Eman. And then there's those of us who
fight us through the basics. And so to increase in that we need to increase in our ibadah. So now
the fight is don't make shorter on time, make it as early as possible. Crow long usara. So if you're
going to, you know, after start up, sit another five minutes or so five minutes before the time. And
initially it's difficult, it's hard. It's like you're going to gentlemen spending another five
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:39
			minutes on the treadmill. But after a while it becomes part of who you are, and if you will start
actually enjoying it. And of course you will see more Baraka more blessings in your life. So for the
youngster that asked this question, Allah bless them, Mama granted, they become steadfast in the
Salah, may they be of those people that will not only do the for it, but they will actually enjoy
the sweetness of even like the hundreds, one of the scholars said, for 15 years of my life, I made
that choice, at least
		
00:11:41 --> 00:12:17
			I forced myself and it took me 15 years before I started to enjoy it. So even the scholars that we
are the pious people, it doesn't come as sick it's very, very, very seldom and very far down the
line before you start actually enjoying evaluate it becomes your pleasure. It becomes something
which like the Sahaba would do the professor would do when things were difficult, then they would
rush towards Salah because the connection with Allah was the thing they love the most. And you and I
we know if you ask me what do I love the most? What do you love the most? You can spend the most
time with the thing with a to some movie that you want to watch some CDs, we can spend some heinola
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:48
			days and nights binge watching something because we love it or watch sports. Every single Game of
the World Cup is watch everything every country because he loves it. Oh he's called whatever it
might be. He's kids. If when a law becomes the priority, and a law becomes the thing that we love
the most, the better will be the thing that we want to do the most is to live and have a man to that
level. Allah bless us in that for now we are struggling but hopefully we pray that all of us can
reach the army questions. No questions. Okay. So we continue Yes.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:36
			So the question is, what are the more qualifiers besides the four so number one we get inshallah, we
have to go through the history we finished our debacle. Allah will go on, remember the full of our
Archie Deen the rightly guided caliphs, is regarded as the fall. In fact, there are five Imam Hassan
was also there, in fact, is a hadith necropolises for 40 years, or 30 years, they will be hollyford
and rightly guides until the date when Hassan died. It's exactly that so it's fine. But it was only
very short six months. But the caliphate continued on until 1920. Something up until about eight
years ago, there's a halifa there's been califa all the time. And some of them you know how to Nora,
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:14
			she was already farming that many, many 100 years later, you had coupons and you go to Istanbul, the
halifa was in Turkey, the halifa was in Baghdad, they were Oliver's so the Muslim Ummah always had a
holiday. In fact, it was the halifa of the oma that seems to have occurred if India to take her,
like the halifa of the Muslim world. And so but when we talk about the whole of Arashi, Dean, the
rightly guided Oliver's, when it's this elite group of Sahaba, and maybe we add we said obviously
Hasani, because five actually has an image. And maybe there's a six or even Abdulaziz one of the
great qualifiers off to them was such a pious man, such a great man that has elevated him people
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:52
			have said, if they were to be another rightly guided califa thing he perhaps would be on on that
level. But after the fall mowing, the lawn will be halifa for 20 years cinema. So this the history
continues until today, and that's it and only only up until the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Did we
not have a halifa we have no halifa so we've got a highly versatile hundreds of them to discuss.
We've only been through two. We have hundreds to go. So where we stopped last week we spoke about
the demise of Sina Omar. And so in honor of the lon before he passed away he selected a panel of how
many mean six panels for the panel of Shura panel of Shura Shura mini consultation. And he said you
		
00:14:52 --> 00:15:00
			six must decide who's going to be the halifa and so on that panel we said these are the six assura
mubasher six of the 10 promised agenda. How the
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:34
			Have you close the column C and this one give me glad tidings of Gemini give this man the claddings.
So the profit promise, Bashara means that the good news the team, you have the good news that
they're already in Ghana. Okay, amazing. Imagine the province giving you hours guaranteed for your
place in general is booked reserved whatever you do after this follows your agenda already. So say
number new, these six are on guidance. And so you should use six must decide amongst you who are the
follicles who's going to be the next halifa. And so we're talking about a North man because he's one
of the big candidates and he will be selected. We'll talk about the selection process. And so it's
		
00:15:34 --> 00:16:09
			important for us to understand why is he on this panel, all six of them these stories and you
probably know the stories why they're on their panel, but we only say North man for now. And we're
talking about his contribution to Islam. That's one of the first early converts to Islam. He went
through the persecution, he made the hero to ever senior he married the daughter of Navy Susannah
then he made the trip to Medina unable to fight in battle because the Prophet said to stay behind
and then it'll clear die and the Prophet I'm married to him who consume and fulfill his second
daughter and that's what she knows mine is known as the Marine, the marine the man with two lights
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:46
			because he was given two doses of a property marry both of them. We said that what see different
Sahaba excelled in different areas, different Sahaba have with him the something which they excelled
above the others. They were pious, they were good and they were excellent. And then some went a
little further heiligen molinard your line was the military genius zedi when he found it was the
Quran master. The one preserve the Quran was mangled, Yolanda bc he is always number one in the
leadership team is always on the elite panel of the resource alum say no woman in a bucket. He's one
of the people that are always late to consult and discuss and give opinions. But we he really
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:23
			excelled was how he financed many things in the oma and it's amazing because it would appear every
time a big project came up, he would bankrupt himself. But the next project that came up again, he's
the main fundraiser. We didn't get these funds. It's amazing that every time he gave, by the time
the next project came alive, not only made him recover his fortune, he actually had more. So when he
came to Medina, we said that well that he bought it still today that well is is going he's still
water in it well, so he the prophecy who buys this well and guaranteed his place in general. And so
he bought that well, then many, many expeditions, the most important one, the expedition of
		
00:17:23 --> 00:18:00
			hardship, where the professor Lampson who will contribute and he gave 100 camels, which is a
fortune, and then he brought like a mountain like you know a handful full of gold that it was in the
lack of Nabisco, Salah where he said that he said to that Allah says to the man, do as you please,
after today, because gender is guaranteed for you after the date with man, nothing you do can harm
you know, some that you do, it's already forgiven. That's what he did in the Battle of the book,
which we spoke about. And just before that had been sort of passed away, he expanded the masjid. And
in actual fact, we expanded the masjid was southwards towards the Qibla, which was there. And then I
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:36
			visited whoever purchases a plot of this is guaranteed a plot in Jannah. And with man, both all
those plots all have a keyboard. So how many times has he the Prophet explicitly said you will
purchase a place in general with man purchased all of it every time and he contributes of the great
value that he has is the beta to read one we spoke about the beta one last week. Now remind you
again, you should know this before my many, many times you should know this. We said that the
prophets of Salaam we wait for tomorrow. And when you go tomorrow, you got stopped at a time mecosta
the crash. And so when they got stopped, they coming at hedges your arm, no sword, nothing. And the
		
00:18:36 --> 00:19:11
			coalition's policy was even our enemies can come through or if you come through Nevada, we can stop
you from visiting the Kaaba. So now the Muslim for the first group of people, they thought, well, we
don't want these people to come in, we let everyone else but not them until they stop the Muslims
not fighting them. And so the Muslims are outside the political idea outside of America. And so now
someone has to go into negotiate. And so then so someone first chooses a normal, why did you go and
negotiate? I'll give you my investor. So no one says no, not me. I'm not the right guy. Like who's
kind of people get upset. They get angry with me. I i antagonize and I'm not the best. I'm not the
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:49
			most diplomatic guy and the Sahaba knew again the qualities and look what he sees. But with man,
very loved guy. He's just such a likable person. Everyone likes Superman, even the non believers,
this is special soft knees, a very soft guy. Everybody likes him to sing with man. So all the
problems from them agreed and essentially North America, and if a man had a big family, the mayor,
and they were very happy to see him. And they initially said to him the kurush we are not going to
allow you guys in your formula, but you can perform tomorrow will lead up tomorrow. And this man
says Well, I will never I will never make tomorrow until tomorrow first. And so he got delayed and
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			he met up with some there were certain secret Muslims in Makkah. And he got he got taken by one side
and so he got delayed and no word is coming out of Makkah ways with man. And so the rumors
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:35
			I've displayed a lot of how these enormous speed, perhaps they killed the man, maybe he's dead. And
so now the reason we got so upset when he heard now this rumor, if they killed with man, then we are
not going to leave it like this, we are going to declare one. And he said, Look, the prophet said to
the Sahaba, if this man has been harmed, he's killed, we're going to fight the crush, we didn't come
with any weapons. You know, we just tried to keep it up and fought off. But we're gonna go to war if
these people have killed us, man. And so the Sahaba lined up one by one, and they gave him that
pledge, took his hand to say to the into the depth, if you take us to the ocean, then we'll go with
		
00:20:35 --> 00:21:13
			you. And so this is called the buyer to read one because then a lot, of course revealed adverse that
he Colorado law, law is pleased. That's what we say about the law. And unless please read them,
because unless I am pleased with those group of people that took 1000 plus of the Sahaba, who took
the pledge with you under the three, that three prophecy. And so when they were all done, so that
will give the pledge and Allah said they had not pledged you or Mohammed they preached a loss hand
and Allah testifies to the man in the article says in the Quran, right? Now he says, Man, yeah, was
he under the pledge? He wasn't he? He didn't come to give his hand abubaker armor of the alley, all
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:47
			of them they gave the pledge a bill and all the words how do we know which man was not the admin
then I stood up at the end of the split. And he said, and this year, he put his two hands together.
This is fourth man I give the pledge on behalf of the man. And so the Sahaba obviously mentioned
that with man's pledge is the number one place why because the profits left hand is between my right
hand right so it was not and of course is the reason why I visited one the buyer didn't want happen
so he's actually number one on the list of the people are better than one. So all of this gives you
an understanding of his of his caliber, some Heidi specifically about him. The promises of them
		
00:21:47 --> 00:22:27
			mentioned that the that he will be a Shahid as we know what the problem was on hood and he said to
hood, he the prophets of Salaam abubaker Omar and man the four of them on they began to shake and so
the prostitute had become on you is an alley and the Siddiq ibaka and two showerheads, two people
will die as Shaheed so he thought was man you're going to die as a as a Shahid also, the prophet
seldom mentioned that of all the Sahaba who has the most level of higher higher his modesty, no
mother, there's no real English equivalent to higher modesty doesn't do a do justice, it means you
know, we will explain to you higher you may be committing in the past, you know people maybe they if
		
00:22:27 --> 00:23:05
			they listening to music very loud and the Imam in the past today, they don't care, you know, turn it
up even so up mom walks past or goes what we engage properly and the Imam walks by, and they put the
scarf on that level of of shyness and respect, you know, so the problem is the man who has the most
of this is man, but he's level of shyness. And when he sees sin, it disturbs him so much, right? No
one has as much of higher as with man, even the angels angels are more higher than people. They
don't even have this level of higher the angels feel shy when they see them on the higher level
higher is listed with man and a few incidents. For example, the animosity I generated, he was
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:39
			sitting in his house but like relaxing, you know, like in a very not inappropriate but he was he was
relaxing in a very comfortable, relaxed kind of way. You know, Lake strips out quarterly stance was
pulled with the highest lake was a bit exposed to the bottom and Abubakar walks in and says, Come
come in. And he certainly spoke like that. And the problem didn't change is he's sitting and then
Roman comes in as well. And the prophecy the sentence and I'll be talking very casually the word is
casual and so with man knocks on the door and he says sure anything and this is what we mean the
Prophet Allah made himself like neat and set in a formal posture and he thought they can come in
		
00:23:39 --> 00:24:16
			now. So after with mine all sweaty we went to the office and he lived I shall explain why. Wife not
to abubaker and wife man, so the prophecy that famous honey Should I not feel a sense of modesty for
a man who makes the angels feel modest? And also he said with mine is this kind of person, you know,
when you see you maybe a person would you really speak and they never really I can't imagine seeing
you know, my grandfather or the Imam or the you know the person that you respect in that way. It
sort of disturbs me so I'll feel shy. And so he said I was worried that if I set like this with man,
you feel so shy, you wouldn't speak what do you want to speak I wanted to keep so because you are
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:52
			polite. I have to reciprocate that shows you again then I'd be so solemn his understanding of that
side note here, you'd find if you have like vulgar speech, vulgar language, then people will talk to
you like that he will not swing at people but when you show that you're comfortable with these kind
of things, and people will be comfortable like swinging in front of you. Then you find people that
swear a lot but when they see a manual person that doesn't speak mathematic, I'm not supposed to
speak like this because these that level of higher so say numbers man had this thing of higher
another beautiful example another Heidi Cucinelli Some said about with mine, after Luca had died,
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:59
			and then his son Abdullah with nuclear dies, and then we consume also dies now he's in his 40s no
children, no wife.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:33
			Basically a man without a lineage, and the province can see with money said he's almost 50 and he's
got nothing. He's got no family. And so the Prophet sees and he said this is a lie with mine. If I
had a third I would have given it to you as well. If I had a third daughter, I would have given it
to you as well. But of course you would money later on, and you would have also seen children alone
What is it like just when he when he gives a lot give us even more takes away Allah gives him even
more what else if I say North miner on your lawn, he said in all of the battles he had participated
in that when the province for them and one of the times he was out of Medina he appointed with man
		
00:25:33 --> 00:26:10
			as the man in charge of Medina, he was sort of in charge of the policies to govern Medina while the
problem was the way so we see that similar with mine from the beginning, every event he was there,
and why he has the right to sit in the panel of six, resuming and of course, all six of them have a
stellar resume. All of them are fit to be the halifa that's why oh my god Alon. He says all six of
you are good enough to be the halifa but you need to choose the best amongst you all six if any of
you have is califa is good enough. But the best of the best amongst you that you must decide icon
choose clearly who is the best one amongst you. After the different Professor lamb was monologue,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:46
			Ilan plays an important role, again, in an integration in fact is very important in the leadership
of the worker and Omar he was the man in one of the big incidences of many charities, the thing that
really stands out that when he purchased a large consignment of wheat, they bought something and in
advance and it is now coming to getting delivered. Meanwhile, in Medina, there's a shortage of wheat
to the point where it's almost like a like a feminine, a feminine so much, but it's completely
short, and is known week going around. And so in this man's massive, you know, camera loads of wheat
arrives in Medina, the merchants come and they all say, look, we've agreed amongst ourselves, we are
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			all the wheat. So like the whole suit
		
00:26:49 --> 00:27:26
			is fine mining sector wholesaler now, and they are the shops, the shopkeepers, so should we've
agreed on a price together, so we will buy all your wheat, and then we will sell it. And so with
mine says whatever price you give me, I already have, I already have a supplier of someone who's
willing to purchase from me, but what price can you give me. So, they said we will give you for
every 10 kilos and for every 10 basically for every England that we support, the normal price will
give you 12 20% with monitors my price is better. So this is 30% 40% 70% 100% more said I have a
better buyer in this. So this is what better buyer in the spirit Allah promises that if you give, he
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:59
			gives you at least what 700 times in return. And therefore I cannot sell this week to you. But
because things are so difficult in the market, it is only fitting I give it for free. I give it away
for free to the market. And so so you know, as a man, this is one of the things that he really did,
during the caliphate of say now abubaker of Say no more of the line. when things were tough. in
Medina, we sit in St. Thomas time, they normally did a lot in terms of building institutions bring
about a bit of bureaucracy, bureaucracy was bureaucracy, not democracy, systems, protocols,
procedures, things that we hate doing. But of course, without those things, those systems will fall
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:37
			apart now that they have a massive, a massive, you know, Empire, there has to be a municipality,
there has to be registers. And he was the one that really formalized because he could even write he
suggested the sweetener, oh my god, one, put everyone in every city, put the names down, know who
they are. So you know how many soldiers they are, how many women they are, how many children they
are, and you can now you know, when you disperse funds from the Beatle, man, it's orderly. So he did
a lot of this kind of work for say normal odilon and shows you also he has an aptitude for
leadership for managing a good manager back to the Shura. So now the panel of six are chosen and say
		
00:28:37 --> 00:29:18
			no one, which is the six of you must decide you have three days to decide. In the meantime, none of
you will eat Salah. So Eva Rumi, that's a hobby was good speak Latin grew up in a Shinto Christian
lands, he will leave the Salah, because he was having the Quran, of course, and he recited
beautifully, he will be the Imam and so ever we perform the genetic fallacy number and they bury a
number in Russia. So now in spite of the grief and bigger issues to be dealt with now, no time for
crying, we have to give the Obama era and now fusuma is not small anymore, from Algeria, all the way
to Pakistan. The erosion key this and especially when an organization with someone or any
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:54
			organization or team moves, whatever it might be, is led by such a giant like say such an imposing
figure, a person who dominated so strongly and was so on the ball with everything as you said he was
he was a bit of a micromanager to an extent that's his least leadership style. When someone like
that is out of the picture. It's easy for things to get out of control. So the act to appoint an
halifa urgently. So the six of them sat down and again must know the six please What are the six?
Tell me at least one name, one name on that list. We'll be speaking about half an hour who's on that
list with 100 ala number two
		
00:29:55 --> 00:30:00
			on that list, Paul ha as up and you know, again, to stop
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:18
			It's important to know a story with a name and if you don't know the story then it's hard for you to
know the name. So with mine, you know he said not only we should know by now medic defaulting on so
many things in it, we'll talk about him in detail. But ha was taught how the one who defended
Nabisco, Salomon or heard with his hand until he became paralyzed
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:40
			as a way What do we say went to bed? Now these are some of them see, if anybody has a special How
are you? How are you like Nagisa disciple and my special Hawaii is Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is my
special Hawaii. As you may also married Saito. Buckley's daughter asthma, Natasha, older, and they
had a son of the law, very famous at the hegira. She gives birth abubaker his grandson. So this is
		
00:30:41 --> 00:31:19
			when we have Sadie cos he's the archer. He was the General of the Army that conquered Persia. He was
in charge of the army, in fact, legend. Even China claims us that he's buried in China, not the
China, but he pushed the frontiers of the oma all the way to the east. All right, right. And the
oath of the Romani the office, the only man besides senior banker was an absolute made solid behind.
Now, Visa Salam was a bit late, it was on a journey. And fudger time came, and he had to go out into
kulu. And the walk was almost going to Sahaba decided to make SATA, and they put up their money as
the Imam. And so when the prophet SAW this, he actually stood behind, and he actually made one
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:57
			rocker behind a man, you know, for the only man besides abubaker, who's so great honor, all of them
were on the early converts. So all the major dicks, they have to the name, right, they have to the
better player to the one hegira, everything they will have, all of them will be in it. And then they
have the elite special status as well individually. So now the six of them was sitting down, and
they must decide who should be the Khalifa. And so after an evening, and that's why it's sometimes
called the kingmaker. He's very good at these kind of policies and things like when he speaks first
of the money we have, and he says, look, the six of us, why don't we limit this down to three, it's
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:30
			three of us step out who's interested, who doesn't want to be the whole is any of us who don't want
to be califa would want to take our names out of that, before we vote, let's use taking our names
out of that, at least at least number two, three. And three of them did say we don't want to be in
the race, but you will either give it to someone else. So tala steps out, and he says I appoint with
my my voters with mine. And then as a basis, I also don't want to be the halifa. And I give it to
Allie. And inside whenever your cause he also pulls out and he says I'll give it to you after a
month. So now unfortunately, again, he was hoping that there would be a majority. So we went from
		
00:32:30 --> 00:33:09
			six to three. So there's so Paula gave to us man. Zubaydah gave to it inside gave it to a man. So
now we have three names neck now, Ali was man. And man, the three names the left. So now the man
speaks again. And he says, You know what? I'm also not keen to be the halifa. So it leaves the two
of you. But I'll put my name out of the hat. If you give me the costing books, let me decide of the
two of you. We should be the halifa. And so they agree. So he said, actually, what he said was,
before that Rob Murphy says, Look, I'm not interested in middle Hollywood, I'll put my name out. And
as for the two of you Is there anyone who does not want to be and take his name open hot, especially
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:45
			by elimination. One is the halifa. And both of them remain silent. So we offered them one of you
pull out and both Ali and Whitman didn't say anything meaning they both are saying we went on a
mission that we both wanted the position and there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with
wanting to do a service for that matter. In fact, I should have mentioned this Hadeeth before the
navy seals on the system with a man he says he comes and he sits at a well and so why are you
sitting there with these legs dangling the legs dangling now you're not in the water but over the
edge. And abubaker comes in and says tell other walkers to enter and tell him who intergender and
		
00:33:45 --> 00:34:21
			let you sit and he sits on the one side. And then mark comes and he says the same thing and
intensity are with me and you'll intergender and he sits next to the other side of numbers on each
side and is that the legs rang in and the man comes and the prophecies lit with my intent and
promise him telling me you will also be interning gender after a calamity befalls him and when he
said there was no place make sure that so he said on the other side of the well there's a lot of
symbolism in this and in in a hadith similar to this he says to with mine with mine, you will be a
priest before you die and the oma Allah is going to give you a clock, a clothing a shirt, they will
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:56
			taste you with a shirt and I command you to keep that shirt on and there'll be people trying to take
it off, do not take it off and be patiently until you meet me and of course he didn't understand but
this will become much more clear when he becomes the halifa so now these two lifts in the race, both
of him Ali and this man wanted and of the romance is fine make me do the costing but and for the
next few day or two of their mind is nothing that was his calf to make the big decision to impact
the lives of millions of people. And so he goes around in Medina and he asks everyone he can find
they said he even would ask to the ladies who live in behind the seclusion ladies were constantly
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			just behind the income outside highly modestly.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:41
			He would speak to them from outside of the curtain between his mind and Ollie, who would you choose?
And so after this consultation, he didn't make each of them privately to meet with man. I mean, he
didn't know what they discussed. And the three of them came to understanding. And so on the Monday,
he often saw haven perform the center of the family may have a sense the member and he has the
turban of Nabisco Salaam on his head. And he says he needs to make that announcement now. And so he
says, first he addresses and he praises sincerely, and reminds him of his volume. And we is and then
he said, after my consultation, it appears that the oma will be satisfied with man as the halifa,
		
00:35:41 --> 00:36:13
			that with man appears to be the one that is to be qualified, and it's some hints to this as well.
abubaker, before he passed away, remember, you're sick. And so when you realize that this is a
sickness is going to end me, he also consulted and one of the people he consulted was with mine, and
he says man, should I choose the halifa. And so of mine says no brainer. Basically, Omar is the
right man, there's no one better than woman for the job. And so he says, I agree with you, but know
that if it wasn't for Omar, you would be my choice, you would be my pick if it wasn't for more so
abubaker and also but of course this is not the reason but it shows that he was he was quite
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:49
			obviously well known that he could do this position and so again, this is a kind of a democratic
thing. But I'm not even speaking on behalf of the people of Medina had given the pledge to us man
and so if man becomes the halifa after the date of say normal and of the first people to give the
Pledge of Allegiance in the most you publicly you say nearly like perhaps the first man to actually
give you a Metallica you say nearly but the Latin and this is our version of what he studies and
it's all lies the most authentic and scraped is a different site. We might talk about that next week
inshallah, but that inshallah will continue next week. Zack Allah Hi. Mohammed was promising. Hello
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
