			ramen mercy to those who have passed away amin well hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah as you know as the
sooner at Masjid Ronald Islam we like to do things in series. And it's been a while since we did our
series on the days of Iza and glory, the season, which last season we stopped, we starting the new
season to discuss some of the high moments in the history of Islam, to remind us about our rich
legacy 1500 years filled with moments of Islam means honor, and glory, the days in which the oma
shun Alhamdulillah. Currently, we know that the oma is in a decline. We know that we are at a point
in history, we across the world, the oma is in a bit of a low point. And at the very least we should
		

			remind ourselves about the good old days not so that we can be nostalgic and think about the past.
But to encourage us to move forward. As we know this oma will stand until the end of time. No enemy
no catastrophe. No problem hit the oma except that the oma survived the boomer rode that wave and
came out some generations took the oma food, other generations held it. And so behind Allah we make
to either be part of the revival of this oma we love to see this armor coming out of the difficulty,
that before we leave this dunya we'll see an end to the war and the poverty, the illiteracy, the
plagues, the hardships that's going through the oma May Allah grant, this is another sama to return.
		

			Well hamdulillah so in sha Allah, we remind ourselves as Allah subhanaw taala mention to the Quran
that you all Muslims are believers are the best nation ever. It is up for mankind, you enjoying what
is right and you feel bad, what is wrong, and you believe in Allah, we see that we know that would
allow made the angels prostrate before either malissa to Salaam, that insulin is the pinnacle of
creation of Allah, the highest of creation, the only living creature that Allah created with his own
hands be easy to Gera in a manner which reflects his majesty and of all the nations of mankind of
all the generations from Adam until the end of time, this oma is the best. And of course, the base
		

			of the beast is the generation of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. So we need to reclaim our position
of, of where we should be in the studio, we should be in the forefront of good in the forefront not
for power not to be number one in terms of wealth and power dominating the world. Allah saying what
makes you number one is that who you are people that encourage good, you bring goodness to this
dunya and you fight against that which is evil in all its forms May Allah grant us to return to that
mean? So inshallah, this season of the days of reason, glory, we'll discuss the Battle of the
trench. We've discussed a number of battles before we discussed the Battle of Bunker and the Battle
		

			of offroader. We've discussed some some battles after that. But so behind all of this battle, the
Battle of the train show the Battle of hudec, or the Battle of Allah Zeb, as is mentioned in Surah,
number 33 of the Quran
		

			is really one of the In my opinion, perhaps the most exciting of all the battles and so behind
Allah, it is a battle that when you study it, it is a miracle that you will find a better with very,
very little fighting. But so behind Allah, you will see a laws impact. And you will find that this
battle, just to be just as a as a thriller as a sneak peek, that this battle really brought the
Muslims to the brink, to the very edge Allah push them right to the limit. How far are you going to
follow the prophets of Allah? How far are you going to trust in Allah? Allah is going to throw
everything at the Sahaba Allah is going to make it look like these absolutely no way out. Their
		

			minds will tell him No way. The whole world will be against him. Allah subhana wa tada will change
this in one moment. without fighting without killing. Allah will conquer that's why you know Subhan
Allah in on IED morning, when you make the tech better we say Well, hello,
		

			Baba, right. Right. What is that? Has he Allah defeated that hazard. The hazard means the
Confederation, the Alliance the armies of the enemies, the massive army of the enemy has has
arboleda that he alone a lot defeated. The old
		

			by himself without anyone getting involved. So how did this battle come about? How did this battle
turn out to be a victory from the darkest of moments it became a victory. So let's start in sha
Allah background to the battle leading mind ourselves a little bit about the the background before
the battle. The Muslims of course Islam began in Mecca or not Islam began with the soma, the Quran
revelation began in Makkah, Islam began before our creation before anything was created. Islam is
the religion of the universe. gibreel is a Muslim, she's a Muslim, the sun and the moon are Muslims.
But this oma began Of course in Mecca, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and for 13 years the Prophet
		

			peace be upon him his preaching and teaching until eventually the people of Mecca rejected by
enlarge the miss the message. So Allah permitted the Muslims to make hegira to Medina. This is 622
in terms of hijiri this is number 100. All right, the key God calendar began with the turn of the
hegemon. But for us for our purposes to make us understand a little better. It was the year 622.
Right. So what 1400 years ago, that the Muslims the prophet SAW Selim left Mecca, and he came to
Medina, very important point to understand in the context of the story, that when the Prophet comes
to Medina, salatu salam, he finds in Medina, three Jewish tribes, three Jewish tribes, who did not
		

			accept Islam. They questioned Him, they quizzed him, the leader of them of the rabbi's, like the,
the the chairman of the MJC have to live in Sam rhodiola. And he was the number one Rabbi of Medina.
He spoke to the prophets of Allah, and he embraced Islam, but his people did not follow him. Right.
So the main Rabbi became Muslim Abdullah and Salah Ravi Alon. The three Jewish tribes remained on
the faith, and they basically rejected the prophets of Solomon's enemy. Nonetheless, the Prophet
peace upon him, entered into a constitution of Medina, where Muslims and non Muslims are allowed to
live that the Jews were allowed to live freely, peacefully. And in fact, the agreement was, the
		

			Muslims will be governed by the Sharia, and the laws and they will be governed by the Sharia by the
Torah. And they will live side by side peacefully, and that they will be a mutual
		

			excuse my chest, that it will be a mutual understanding a mutual protection of rights and they will
live in harmony. And the one thing that no one should do is that no one should help external people
against each other. So the Muslims will not support anyone that attacks the Jews. If anyone wants to
attack the yahood of Medina, the Muslims will stand with them. And if the Muslims are being
attacked, the Yahoo doesn't have to fight with the Muslims, but they just not should not support the
kurush. This was the agreement and ever agreed to that. One by one, the Jewish tribes broke the
agreement, the first Jewish tribe,
		

			the Banu pine, aka the Banu Kanaka, this is the first Jewish tribe around the Battle of butter. They
broke the agreement they attacked a Muslim woman, and they killed the Muslim man and there was
tension. So the Prophet peace upon him said to them, if you can't abide by this constitution, we
leave Medina so they decided to leave Medina, and they settled in a city called labor.
		

			A few years later, the bamboo now leader, and is very important, this tribe is very important to
understand that by no now the year the Balu another year,
		

			they also broke the agreement with the Muslims. And they did this even worse, they like someone have
them killed a Muslim. So the Prophet peace be upon him swing to them and they said we'll negotiate a
blood money. And while he was the negotiating, they tried to assassinate him, they try to drop a
boulder on his head, or an mg video came in for me. So when the Prophet peace of mind was informed
about this plot, and actually said to him now obviously try to assassinate the leader. You know, by
rights you should all be executed, but you may lead the penalty as well for you just leave Medina
leave. So the vanilla here as well lift Medina and they settle as well in the city called haber
		

			understand this.
		

			So two of the three Jewish tribes broke the agreement and they were expelled. There was one the new
camera and they the vinyl camera remained in Medina names don't have to worry about the names. So
while all this is happening twice, there was a war between the Muslims and the coalition. Remember,
the Muslims migrated from Mecca, the people of Mecca didn't leave it like that. They Once there was
a battle of whether we spoke about that a few years ago, and then another battle ensued the Battle
of hood way Makkah, tried to invade Medina, and they won the battle but they weren't able to
obviously succeed in conquering Medina. So as things stand so now before this battle, understand we
		

			must stand five years in Medina now five years we've been in Medina, we have an Islamic State. We
have just beaten we beat the people of Macau in one battle, and they beat us in one battle. They try
to innovate
		

			Once and there is better blood between Mecca and Medina. So technically we are at war with maca and
maca is waiting for revenge. Similarly, we are two Jewish tribes that were expelled from Medina
because they broke the treaty. So therefore, it was the idea of the Banu NaVi the leader of the
balloony Navarre, his name was,
		

			he would actually become the father in law of the prophets of Allah prophecies would marry his
daughter, Sophia, this is far in the future. For the chief of the bunu NaVi, it was his idea to form
an A zap. Now Surah 33 of the Quran is called surah. to zap, Allah has ARB is the configuration, or
so a configuration is like an Axis of Evil, that all the enemies of Islam will gang up under one
banner. So it was the idea of the leader of the menorah, vaidehi, even atop, and he took a
delegation with him with our rabbis. And the leaders of the Jews have haber. And he went to Makkah,
and he spoke to the leadership of the kurush, Abu sufian. And he said, let us ally together and
		

			together we invade Medina, you guys went and you invaded the Medina you want but you weren't
successful. Let us together gang up against Medina. And together we will wipe Islam off the face of
the earth.
		

			The kurush was surprised. They said, you know, we are idle pious pagan idol worshipers? You are
Yeah, who would you speak about prophets and revelations and one Allah and you don't worship idols,
we assumed you are closer to the Muslims than we are that you would find this is the reality, our
Sharia, and the Sharia of the Jews are the closest to each other. You find that work, for example, a
Jewish person will say is this * and it was food salad and I can eat it kosher and hello very
close together. You find in the rituals in the theater in the theology in the ideas of Pilates,
very, very similar between Islam and the old and of course, because the source was one that which
		

			remained unchanged of the Jewish religion is coming from Allah subhanho wa Taala. It's one of the
evidences of the of the the new Booyah of an OB Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. So when the Quran said
why is it strange that you would lie with us because we so far from you? And they said, No, you
people are closer to the truth than Mohammed. And Allah revealed is about this meeting in Surah
Nisa, Allah Swansea's, Have you not seen these people who I've given them a book, I've given him the
Scripture, and they say to the disbelievers that you are closer to the truth in the believers. It's
vanilla, that the out of your hatred for Islam, that you're willing to basically sell your own
		

			religion out of your hatred. So
		

			the Jew, the Quran said, We agree, we will fight we will support you. We've got the main but we
don't have the finances. The Jew said don't worry, the Buddha said we don't Don't worry, we've got
the finances. We will finance this battle this army if you provide the main and the weaponry. And
then they also went on a campaign around Arabia to all the tribes around Medina, anyone who wants to
join, we don't worry about what religion you follow. We don't worry who you are, we put all our
differences aside, and we are going to gang up against Medina. And the the tribe that answered the
school school the tribe of auto fan, again the names of a foreign to us, but in the context of our
		

			of our understanding of this battle. So understand the Confederation is made up of three major
groups of three armies get together, the army of kurush of Mecca, the armies of the Jews of labor,
and the armies of the thrive Hata fan so what I find is in the north of Medina, so you got Mecca
from the south, and hotter fan from the north and haber on the on the on the western side. So from
all corners, you find now this army being raised, and never in the history of Arabia has the people,
the tribal people put the personal differences aside, but the tribal differences aside under one
banner is the very first time that you found this, meaning Allah subhanho wa Taala is now already
		

			dividing the world up between believers on the one side and this believers on the other side, the
believers and Subhanallah something that we should understand today. Ultimately this will remain
until the day of piano. Now when it comes to alliances, when it comes to alliances, there's only
really two parties is the Hezbollah the party of Allah of the Hizbollah, I'm talking about Lebanon,
but these are the party of Allah, and there's the history shavonne and there's those who support the
the agenda of shaitaan and Subhan. Allah, the fact that today
		

			you have the United Nations, you have European Union, you have the United States. We don't have a
united oma, no two Muslim countries, you can say are really allies, one of the other small countries
like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, nothing in the scope of they can't even work together. Same culture,
same religion, same ethnicity, same language, everything but they can't stand
		

			Side by side, Swan Allah. This is one of the the two problems about oma today, while the rest of the
world are uniting we as a Muslim Ummah, find more and more ways of dividing our room a small
percentage of Muslims here in South Africa yet so we don't have the unity that we need. But we still
haven't thought beyond individual objectives and goals. The individual objective of my image of my
family, we need to think as an oma, we need to begin to think as a bigger, much bigger than us. The
challenges are bigger than me and you and my Gemma and your Gemma challenges as an oma because the
war is against Islam. It's against the Muslim Ummah, whether we come for the Rohingya today and the
		

			Palestinians today, understand we're coming for you tomorrow, one by one will take you out, unless
you stand together, you're not going to survive. So now you find Arabia a new phenomenon is forming.
We you have an azova coalition under the battle under the banner of, of this belief, while the
Muslim Omar was the only city the only place on earth and Islam is Medina, the last light of hope.
And we remember in better when the Prophet sees that the Battle of better Allah. If we lose this
battle, you will never be worshipped on earth again, understand what this battle means if Medina is
invaded, and the Muslims are killed and the prophets of Salaam were to be like killed as prophets
		

			were killed before him. They were many ampere that were killed by the people. This is not beyond is
not something that is impossible. The Prophet says if we lose helaas, your deen of Islam dies, Islam
becomes extinct. This is the last line of defense before shaitan wins.
		

			So, news now reaches the prophets of Salaam was very strategic. And even though he was something we
can learn as leaders, he had a network of, of scouts throughout Arabia. And he keeps up to date with
the news. Right? So he had like a CIA or an FBI agency. So harbor would go to different tribes. They
would come in as fast as travelers, they would listen to the news and they would report back to
Medina. So behind all the prophets was, even though he was an abbey, he didn't just make dua and
expect tomorrow things will come right. He was there was a constant strategy. There was a plan in
place. He kept in touch, what's happening, what are the movements who's speaking to whom, so the
		

			news reaches the Prophet sallallahu Sallam bad news
		

			that the rumors of an alliance between all these tribes is true. And an army of at least 10,000 plus
more than 10,000 is on its way to Medina, they have now convened and from all corners of Arabia,
they are gathering around Medina. And in fact, we only have a week to lift one week, we've got one
week to prepare, that's going to arrive. So the prophet SAW Salem, they count the fighters of
Medina, maximum, even if we give every old man, every young boy a sword, we have less than 3000
people. And these are being you know, generous. So 10,000 to 3000. It's a big smile a lot. It's a
it's a big difference. Three times the number for every one person, you're going to find three
		

			people.
		

			Now think of a first fight.
		

			Think of a first fight, we put you against the people, you have to fight three people, you have to
find three people, you know, hand to hand combat is not something easy. And you have to think about
it. We just lost or heard that just because we believe us I wasn't going to guarantee you victory if
you make mistakes and you don't prepare properly. Allah subhanho wa Taala is not going to give you
that victory across the line. You need to give 110% and then Allah will give that extra bit to crush
you to give you victory. So Allah mentions when them believers hear about this, this panic, these
are shocked. You know, you can imagine this is like a cat. This news is devastating news and Allah
		

			says in the Quran is jell o comb infotech woman as well. I mean come that when they came, your
enemies came to you from on top and from below. And when your eyes shifted in fear, your eyes began
to shake, and the hearts reach the halacha your hearts were in your throat. This is this is this is
the harbor of great emotion. Their hearts began to shake they began in the throat and you assumed
about assumptions you began to have thoughts in your mind shaytan began to give you doubts. Is this
the end of the road? Have we followed a profit into disaster is this way it's all going to end?
Allah says when I look up to let me know that this the the believers were tested and shaken with a
		

			severe shaking a law assisting them with a severe test a lot with everything against them.
		

			Bad news, devastating news. Remember this army is not only interested about winning a battle, this
is to exterminate men, women, children, they coming for your wives, they coming for your kids, they
coming to destroy everything after this. They're going to invade Medina, they're going to kill you.
They will take your wives as well.
		

			prisoners to be used and your children as slaves. This is the message. You're not only going to lose
your life, you're going to lose everything. That's the message this army is coming to commit a
genocide. How do you respond? So the prophet SAW Solomon again the beauty of his leadership. As
always, you would find in this even though he's Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, even though he is
guided by Allah, even though he's the man that raises his hands in da and he receives answers from
Allah,
		

			He convenes a meeting with the people of Medina, the leadership, and in fact, you'd find this
Surely, it wasn't only the leadership, only the senior put us to the senior Sahaba everyone was the
so the Prophet PC permit Informix. Medina, in one week's time, was armies coming to kill all of us.
What are we going to do? I'm open to suggestions to leadership. He, you know, Allah, sometimes we
think we on top, and no one else knows better than us. I'm the Imam, I am the Chairman. I am the
CEO. I know and no one else knows. So behind all this is the man that Allah speaks to. And he says,
maybe one of you knows better than me. Maybe one of you has a beta suggestion than me. What do you
		

			think? And usually, in other battles, when the Prophet open source and I'm open the forum to
discussion, people put up their hands and they were free to speak. And they disagreed, and they
argued with one another. When he gives them a scenario, this is where we are silence. The books of
history doesn't even say armor was used to give who used to give suggestions. No one can give a
suggestion. No one can even stand up and say something positive, you know, you have rasulillah like
in battle, they said, if you were to lead us into the ocean, we will follow you not like the people
of Moosa that said, you and you Allah go and fight diversity, we will, if you lead us into the
		

			ocean, we'll follow you into the ocean, no one is even standing up to give something positive.
Everyone is shocked into silence. No one can say anything. No one has any suggestions. We can't
fight them, like we did in better open battle, because we're going to lose. We can't we don't want
them to come into Medina. Because if they come into Medina, and it's, you know, hand to hand combat
in the streets, how many of our wives are going to be killed? How many of our kids are going to be
killed? So no one can offer a good suggestion. And they and again, as I said, this man said, Man
will fire etc. So man, the person was not of the senior Sahaba he was not of those who were the ones
		

			the leadership, it was a slave. He was a slave. And he raises his hand and he says, I have a
suggestion. I've got something. I've got an idea how we can fight this battle. Now who is selling
man on fire is He who is Sandman and fantasy, sell man, the Persian, like not understanding the time
of the province with a lump there were two massive empires, two civilizations you had in the east,
the Persian Iranian Empire, and they used to worship fire. And in the West, you had the Christian
Byzantine Empire. They were in the western part of the world. And Arabia was sort of in the middle,
and Arabia was the Wild West. No one, no one cared about them. They had no civilization. So these
		

			are the two civilized people. Now, if you go, it's like you go to the middle of the Kuru little
door. And in the middle of the Kuru, you find like a scientists from the UK, highly qualified,
specialized person, you know, living here in the middle of the Kuru, you know, putting petrol in the
in your tank. How did you get here? You came from the land of civil right from Persia, from Iran
from a land of knowledge and thinking, you're in the middle of the desert. What are you doing here?
How did salmaan get to be here in Medina, Who was he? He's an outsider from Persia. So let's talk a
little bit about his story. He took a, you know, a side note side story, a segment about the
		

			Alliance and man, the Persian. As we said, he grew up in Persia, and he came from a very noble
family. His father was like a governor. And they were very staunch Medusa fire worshippers. This was
the religion. And he says, and I'm telling the story from his perspective, because naturally the
Sahaba asked him, What are you doing here in Medina? Why is the Persian men living here with us? So
he said, I was like, you know, I was like, the only son of my family. My, my father loved me very,
very much. And we were very close to the the temple. And it was my job to keep the fire so they
worship fire. So there was a fire, you'd come into the temple and there would be a fire that it
		

			would worship. It was my job to keep the fire burning. So he's like what we could say an altar boy
where Bilal right he's not the priest, but he's with the police all the time. And he grew up as a
very devout fire worshiper, as he became a teenager, he went on a journey. And he went into the,
into a Christian country, in Iraq where they were Christians. And he thought his curiosity, I want
to know what these people worship. So he goes into a church, and he listens to the sermon of the
priest. And he says, well, ah, he obey God.
		

			their religion is better than our religion. You know, he's convinced Christianity is better than the
religion of fire worship. So he goes to his father and he says, You know what, Dad, I've listened.
And I've learned about Christianity. I think this makes more sense. I'd like to become a Christian.
So his dad was worried to him, and he locked him up. His dad said, I'm not gonna let you go until
you come to your senses. You're not leaving the house, and he was locked up for a period of time
until he said, I was able to escape. And I left my home and I ran away. Again, this is a wealthy
young man, educated young man comes from a good family comes from he leaves everything behind. And
		

			he runs to the church. So he escaped suppose Yep. And he goes into the Christian lands, and he joins
the church. And he says, He loves a rough life in a smile Are you living, imagine a person comes and
he loves in the masjid, I have no way to go live in the masjid. So he lives in the church, washing
the church cleaning the church, and he gets to become the student of the priest. And he says,
swallow and look at how Allah will teach you for guidance. He says, I made this priest, and this was
a bad priest, why he used to steal from the charity. So people obviously put their money in the
towel in the box. And the police used to steal the charity. But still,
		

			it didn't break his email. Instead, he felt even though my teacher is a bad guy, even though my
teacher is not the best, the Imam is not the best. I still believe in Allah subhanaw taala.
Sometimes we tested by our teachers, our Allah will make mistakes, how much I for people, and
salmonella remain. So I was asking him, will you go back to your family? He says, No, he stays. And
when the police dies, he informs the congregation of what the priest had done, and they find all
this treasure. And so now he's been living a few years in this monastery. He's pleased these days in
Asia is dead. So where does he go? He leaves this church and he continues to travel around the
		

			Christian world. And he finds a different priest. And he said, this priest, I found was a good pious
man, a real Wali of Allah. And this priest was worshipping Allah alone didn't believe in the
Trinity. They didn't believe as the other Christians believe. But he was an old man. And not too
long after Solomon had become a student, the priest was about to die. And he asked the chef, listen,
Chef molana you're about to die? I have no way to go. Where do you advise me to go to find another
teacher? So the priest said, I have a colleague that lives in that city far away, in the middle of,
you know, Syria, go and find him is the only one I trust. So salmaan travel so that priest, and the
		

			same story, the same story, so he travels from church to church, living, I mean, smile again, look
at where you started, it could have been a governor, he could have lived in luxury. He's traveling
from church to church, Allah is making him search for truth, y'all, I just want to worship you
correctly. So he goes to all these different churches, different pieces, one by one. And then
finally, one of the priests tells him listen, my son, there is no more priests like us lift. I'm the
last of those who worship Allah correctly. The rest. I can't You can't follow them. So the only hope
for you once I go, is Wait, we believe soon a prophet is going to appear in Arabia, in a B is going
		

			to appear. And so Solomon says, Give me some advice. How will I know him? How would I understand
what he says go to Arabia as well it is a big place, go to Arabia, look for a city that is between
two extinct volcanoes that has the trees in it, when you go there, and you find a man who claims to
be a prophet system, for he will not eat from charity. If you give him a soccer or saga, he will not
eat from it. But he will take a gift and between the shoulder blades these a strange kind of
birthmark. So So man gathers whatever positions he has, he goes to a group of travel, caravan,
Arabs, he says, guys, listen, I'm looking for a city like this in Arabia. Can you take me? So they
		

			said no problem. Fees are tender and whatever it might be yours your money, okay. And then some
answers as we lift Syria, as we hit the desert. They wronged me, what did they do? They stole all my
positions, that would change on me. They made me a slave. Now, how many of us would be tested are
you man, you've given up everything for Allah. And Allah even takes your freedom away, swallow, but
by now we'd have seen you know, maybe my dad was right. I should have been a fire worshiper. This is
the punishment of Allah. We'd have seen that maybe now. I realized my lesson. I would have given up
my Eman by this point. So someone says they made me a slave. And they sold me and bought him and
		

			sold him back and forth. And finally, a Jew of Medina buys him and he enters Medina and he looks and
he says, This city is between two volcanoes. And we know Medina is filled with victory. So he says
maybe this is the place. So he comes to Medina. And he asks around, is there anyone who claims to be
a prophet? What are you talking about? There's no prophet here. He comes to Medina before and
they'll be Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
		

			It comes to Medina before the prophets also lamola symptoms before the Prophet commitees era. So
someone says I was sold to a Jewish landlord, and I was working on the date threes. Obviously the
sophisticated educated man was a valuable slave. So this is you made him like the manager of the day
plantations and he would pick the dates and stuff like that. So he says, He tells the Prophet you
know, I remember the day you came to Medina, obviously the old town was about a prophet has come to
Medina, he says, I was in the tree picking dates. When I heard the news, I almost fell out of the
tree. So I climbed down and I lost my my boss by many, my owner, is the guy who claims to be a
		

			prophet. So the man basically strikes a man, this is what this is got to do with you your jobs is
dates. The only profit you must worry about is a profit in my pocket. Don't worry about any other
profit, right? As the only profit you must worry about. Go back to picking dates. So someone says,
You know, I waited until I had an opportunity to visit you. So now I want you to meet this guy who
claims to be an OB. Sir man comes to the Prophet sallallahu sallam. And he says to the Prophet peace
be upon him, they meet for the first time. He says, I see you come from a city you and your
followers are poor. I've brought you some charity, and some answers I watched. And the Prophet also
		

			distributed the dates, but didn't take one for himself. So he said, this is one time, some time went
by, he comes again and he said, I've brought you now a gift. And now again, he watches and the
prophets of Salaam shares the dates and he also eats from it, too. There's two signs when there was
a janazah and the prophets of Salaam was performing a Genesis Allah and the Prophet used to wait if
you ask what clothing he wore, very similar to the harem, a loose top and as the prophets also known
was performing salah and you know often either janessa or sooner Salah salmaan was trying to sneak a
peek on the shirt and the prophets of Salaam notices. What's our man wants to see? So the Prophet
		

			peace upon him takes his shirt off and says you want to see the birthmark? These the birthmark, the
sign of Nobu by the Hartman unabomber. So someone breaks basically into tears. He says you know I've
been looking for you. For like 30 years I've been looking for you. I was told about you and now I've
met you. And he tells us amazing story. How he comes to Medina. So when he tells the story,
obviously he's a slave. He's from Persia is nothing. The people of Medina stood up and they said, We
adopt you Sandman. You're not salmaan the Persian you this use Amanda Ansari. So the margerine said
no, he's like I see major. He's Sandman, the mohajir. So the prophecy is no I adopted him. He said
		

			man from the elevate. So he's an honorary member of the family of the Prophet himself, man. So then
he says, I'm a slave. I'd like to be free so I can participate with the Muslims. So he asks his
boss, we enough soon he asks his boss how much to purchase my freedom for the boss says no problem.
You want to be free. You're a good worker. You quite pricey? So the deal is you give me like, you
know a few grams of gold and plant 300 a day trees and when they mature and they grow to the full
maturity and Bay dates, then you can go free now that's like 10 years. How long is the date? It
takes two people at a ridiculous price. Someone says to the prophets of Salaam, this is what the
		

			price is. promises. Don't worry. He asked the Sahaba give me some of the gold and this people donate
gold said here's the gold. When you plant the trees call me. I will plant them for you. So the day
comes and the prophecies I and II himself would plant the trees, all 300 with his own hands that
he's also put them in the ground and he makes a special dua. Within one season. All 300 trees grew
and they bow fruit. So the master had no choice but to freestyle man. So now someone is free. He
wasn't free in bother. He wasn't free and open. But remember, we get back to our battle. So this is
who salmaan was he's sitting in the masjid. He's just a slave. You could say he's not one of the
		

			senior leaders are Obama and Omar and Ali and man. He's one of the chiefs of course of the answer.
Now he stands up and says, Look, guys, I have an idea. In my country, when we are about to be
invaded by a big army. What we do is we dig a trench so that they can enter a ditch a big hole
between us and the enemy, and they can't come in. So this is my suggestion. And the man who is
probably would say the lowest person doesn't have a family. He's like the refugee like some hotline.
This is no disrespect, brother all the way from, you know, Somalia, Bangladesh, he just comes to our
community. Masjid committee meeting What should we do? He says I have a suggestion how many of us
		

			will take his suggestion? Yeah, the prophet Listen son, man and this is this is the best suggestion
we have. So let's dig a trench. We've got one week we need to dig a trench around the hole of
Medina. inshallah we continue next week, the digging of the trench inshallah, just a few
announcements. Some classes happening, very busy. So we continue with our Tuesday classes off the
