			are we learning from the shaytani rajim Bismillah R Rahman Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen or
salat wa salam O Allah Schopenhauer serene Sayidina Muhammad in whiner early he was so happy he
married my beloved brothers and sisters in Islam Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
		

			Oh praise mental last panel Allah was hamdulillah accepted us when you said Baba Luna Ramadan Allah
grant us to reach Ramadan Allah has accepted that do all of us and you have reached Ramadan 2016
while hamdulillah you've made it while hamdulillah and we've said the Nia for fasting and we know
that the Nia is something of the heart, but more importantly than the Nia or seeing the nia. It is
about setting your Nia for this Ramadan and not just fasting. God was to mean understand that one
Ramadan is enough to enter you into general one Ramadan is enough to get into you Jenna, no matter
where you are in the race. No matter who you are, how far back you are in the race. Once accepted
		

			Ramadan is enough we see the beautiful Hadith in Juma that the reward of Ramadan is even greater
than the reward of the Shaheed and that in this month there will be at least three opportunities
where all of your sins can be forgiven, and that they will be alight in this month, where it is
greater than 84 years of continuous Avada 30 days stand between you and Jenna 30 days stand between
you and Jen and it begins tonight in sha Allah, think about it like that, every moment of this month
you beginning it now, make the most of it and they say that Allah say that when you make Salah when
you fast, fast and have the Tramadol and make Salah as if it is your final act of a vida, this is
		

			the last Ramadan that you're going to have. We don't know if we didn't have another Ramadan, how
many of those faces that were there last year are not here today and lost a lot of ground in my
place in general, and a forgiveness for the sins that have mercy upon them. So this couldn't be our
last. And it's enough if you have one if you only had one Ramadan, it's enough of an opportunity to
get into you into Jenna 30 days then between you and Jenna, let us make a grant us the strength to
make the most of it too fast to worship you as you want us to do it. And am Allah grant us the best
and the tofik at the end of this month, I mean, let us begin with our series this year. And the
		

			series that we've have installed for you in sha Allah this year is entitled, the heroes of Islam,
the heroes of Islam, we know we're all in a superhero craze at the moment, Everywhere you look, they
are superheroes and roll and people that you that you are set to aspire to be like and we need role
models, we need people to look up to, we need to have people that we aspire to be like, and insha
Allah. In this series, we will not be focusing on the great superheroes like the NBA, we did the NBA
a few years ago. And we're not going to do the great superheroes of the Sahaba. We did them already.
And we will look at more ordinary people that we have a dean of 1500 years and this Dean is standing
		

			through thick and thin through tough times through good times, this Dean is still standing. And it
didn't just happen by ease, or by luck. It happened through the works and the efforts of great men
and women. And I want us as we go through the series, for us to at least my objective is that you
learn about new people that you've never heard about to understand how this Dean is here who brought
it here. And that you might identify with somebody. So you might listen to the history of some
person and says panela I have nothing like that person, that person who made so much salani better,
that's not for me, but then they might be an inventor, they might be an architect, they might be a
		

			doctor, they might be a warrior and administrator that changed the world. And you say maybe I can be
like him, or like her. And inshallah I hope in the series, you'll find someone that you will inspire
to be like, and the point of this is not for us to become superheroes. But the point of it is that
few of us will ever have the ability as individuals to change history. Not all of us will get that.
And throughout history, only a few great people did that. But history changed through 1000s and
1000s of people doing small individual contributions. And that insha Allah makes you a hero, that
little bit that you do that no one sees besides Allah, that is what changes history. So we sit in
		

			sha Allah, we are not focusing on the age of the Sahaba and abyssal Salaam, said, the base of people
are my generation, meaning the generation of Sahaba. And then those who come after them, meaning the
next generation, they are the next best in line and then the nation the generation after them. So we
have three categories of people here. We have often in the time of Nagisa Salaam, we have the Sahaba
those who saw him and those who made him those who had sort of a companionship with him, they are
called the Sahaba. We all know this, and the base of them of the Sahaba abubaker of the a lot. Then
the generation of the Sahaba are called the Tabby owner, the Tabby and those who follow
		

			Those who succeeded the Sahaba These are people who meet Sahaba but they never met nobody so seldom.
And then we have the tabular, tabular in those who follow the terrain. They never meet Sahaba but
they meet people who meet the Sahaba. And these are the three generations that are the base of
generations. We want to only speak about these three generations. We'll even speak about heroes,
like a hero that passed away algonkian Bahama and Mughal era, a person we can all learn from Pamela
Lima log on to Brother genital Pharaoh DOS, I mean, that is someone that brought inspiration. So
these are our heroes from the from the beginning till now Allah sends us people that we can aspire.
		

			So I want to begin and it is the sooner at Mercy Toronto Islam for us to give. Give a little bit of
a prize as well. And I want to explain to you the quiz, the SIOP. So we will have spot prizes today
there are two spot prizes will ask the floor and men and ladies who will give answers I don't really
know what's inside the I think it's a mug or flask, it might be something else might be a million
Rand in the Allah Allah. I don't know. I don't know what's really in the we just wrapped it in the
office wrapped up nicely. So Alhamdulillah we'll see what's in them also. But then going forward,
you all inshallah have been given a booklet called the quiz book. So this summarizes some of the
		

			questions and things we've learned over the past four or five years of Ramadan. And from the we will
select questions each night, you'll get a card, you'll fill it out, and we'll keep a log going to
see at the end of the month, and inshallah we can give a really good prize at the end of the month.
So you go through those questions or those 300 statements, and we'll ask questions on that. And this
was and I must apologize, it's my fault. But about us job, you'll find spelling mistakes, you might
find a few little errors here and there. But you can tell me and we'll try to get the best we can,
but inshallah, my job the gist of it is, is good. So from that we will base our questions. So now
		

			for spot price question. Who said the Taliban are the best of generations, the best of people often
have been other sahaabah who is the leader of the Taliban who is the best of the tank, and we'll
talk about him tonight. Like aboubaker is the senior Sahabi. And we have other great companions with
him Who is the most legendary of the Tabby
		

			Salahuddin? So Tabby is someone who made the companion. Salahuddin did not meet the companions he's
loved 1000 years ago. So how about 1500 years ago, there was some
		

			snobby salsa lamb In fact, just to introduce him. Now visa Salam tells us that there are some people
who seem to the Sahaba there are some people they don't look like much well when you picture you
know, when you picture muscles and you know, he looks the part it looks like a hero. He says there
are people that don't look like much if they come in a gathering or they leave a gathering no one
notices them that if they propose to someone no one accepts the proposal yet when they raise their
hands into Allah does not reject them. So in Ibiza some tells the Sahaba you will meet a man who is
the best of those after you if you see him, ask him to make dua for you. He tells a normal ask him
		

			to make dua for you because it's to us are not accepted or not rejected if one is to ask never
rejected always accepted. What are we talking about for a spot price?
		

			Anyone? Oh, we talking about?
		

			A four
		

			oh my.
		

			Oh my man.
		

			Good, good. Good suggestion. We'll talk about him as well. But he's not mentioned in Howdy. This man
is mentioned by name by Navy SEAL sallam. He never met an abyssal Salaam Nabisco never met him but
now this is a man with this name from Yemen.
		

			We'll talk about him in sha Allah now. So no one got a prize. But I think all moving abdulazeez is
the Yes. waste is always chef my chef man and so we will give
		

			will give the floss and the two of you can fight it out to see insha Allah
		

			always taught me this great man his name always Academy. Always Academy Rahim Allah died 657 in the
history of the ad actually 657 in the Common Era. He was a Muslim resident of Quran in Yemen is from
Quran that was called carnie came from a place in Yemen. And he lived during the time going to be so
Salam. He lived in the time of Nagisa Salaam in Yemen. He heard about the Navy so solemn, but he
never met the Navy so seldom, and his life was seen as insignificant. No one in his town said always
on Courtney, this great person, like you won't share freely in his lifetime. People knew he was
great and people honored him. No one knew about wasel corny.
		

			He was just an ordinary butter in the machine. ordinary guy. No one thought of him as anything
special but in the resources
		

			Lamb gave a hadith about him. And he says to the Sahaba, a man called voice will come to you from
Yemen is telling the Sahaba you'll meet him one day, and will ever amongst us able to meet him meet
always then ask you to make dua. Allah forgives you. He's telling the Sahaba and telling the Sahaba
this man was made to offer you and that indeed he is the base of followers after the companions and
his name is always
		

			what did this men do to achieve this level? What did this man do to get the?
		

			Or give you a hint? What is the biggest door in general to intergender? So we know that there's a
door special door of gender for fasting people called rayyan. And that do is wide open. In fact, all
the doors of gender are wide open now in the month of Ramadan. But there is the biggest door of
gender when when, when the recent speaks about the biggest door. He's talking about the door, which
is the easiest door that you can get to Jenna, what is your biggest daughter, Jenna?
		

			Yes, your parents, the parents and pleasing your parents is the biggest door. The biggest way of
getting into Jenna, as Neville says, Who ever gets his parents in old age and is unable to attain
gender. And really, he is like a loser. Similarly, the one who gets Ramadan and is unable to get
forgiveness in the daily he's like a loser. So the parents are the biggest door to gender. And this
was the door that always helped me walk through. So he lived in Yemen. And his father passed away
when he was a very young man. And he took care of his mother who became blind when he was a
teenager. So his mother became blind when he was a teenager. And he devoted his life to caring for
		

			her and supporting her. And he explains how he became Muslim. He heard Sahaba now into Yemen as
Islam spread. And Sahaba came into Yemen. He said I was once at in I would take my mother by the
hand and I would guide her wherever she needed to go. Then a night came where they were like no
stars and it was dark, and our fire went out and I couldn't see. And then my mother took me by the
hand, and she guided me because she was used to the house in the dark. And when he heard the next
day as a hobby reciting this ayah from Surah Noor.
		

			Those who are in dark, Allah says they are like darkness with with within an unfathomable sea which
is covered by a wave. So Allah speaks about a person who has no Eman. He's in darkness, within
unfeathered waves above him, upon which are more waves and upon those waves or clouds, darkness,
some of them upon others layers of darkness. When one puts his hand out, he can hardly see it. And
he to whom Allah has not granted light for him. There is no light meaning there's no guidance when
he heard this idea the next day, and he knew that this was the truth, the lowest According to him,
and he embraced Islam. So he embraced Islam in the time of Navy SEALs and Namibia was alive and he
		

			heard from the Sahaba the great Navy SEAL Salaam and he and you know if you meet Navy SEAL selling
them even for five minutes, you become a Sahabi and you become in those is we also do a lot on what
to do on that you place in general is almost guaranteed. And he longed to meet nobody so seldom. And
his mother said there's a narration that says his mother allowed him to go you can go to Medina
spend three days meeting Ibiza, Solomon, come back because I need you. And you went to Medina. And
when he got to Medina, the reason was and he and he had to choose, do I wait a week to come back? Or
do I blame my mother and he obeyed his mother and he gave up being a companion over obedience to
		

			obey to obey his mother. He did what was compulsively obeying my mother's compulsory, being a Sahaba
is not compulsory, and he lived and he didn't meet the visa salam, even though this was his dream,
also he in his lifetime. Allah subhanho wa Taala tested him with leprosy. And this shows you how his
two hours accepted. He raised his hand so that time leprosy was like an incurable disease. He had
leprosy, you basically have to go live on your own because there's nothing they could do for you.
And he raised his hands and he made the law. And he asked Allah to cure him, except for one little
portion the size of a coin on his shoulder, and his entire body was cured of leprosy except for that
		

			spot. So he could look at that spot every day and remind himself of a lot. And he spent his life
devoted to looking after his mother, not even able to go for Hajj. So an abyssal Salam tells the
Sahaba that you will meet this man. Eventually, the professor passed away. They say now bucha became
the halifa. And he passed away and say nama became the halifa. And people now sought to Islam
spread, and more and more people entered into Islam and they would come for Hajj. And when he would
meet people from Yemen, he would ask them is there and always with you, is then always with you. And
people said no, always. And in the last words the last year or two of his reign. So now over the
		

			last year or two that he was alive, he finally got to meet away. So Courtney, so he asked, this
group of people from Yemen is there anyone
		

			So Courtney with you and they said, Yes. And Omar said, Is he from the town or the tribe of Murat
and from current the city of currently serious, Omar, they said, was he once afflicted with leprosy?
And he's now cured? And they said, Yes. And did you have a mother that was blind and looked after?
And they said yes.
		

			So we'll say now of course, always on Courtney's you, you and me, you the halifa you are middle
minion. They said, Yeah, he's that guy over the
		

			cinema was to speak to you. So say normal city, you always economy, the number one never said that
Allah
		

			accepts you to us when you make the offer. So ask Allah to forgive me. Finally, your signature on
what I should make to offer you and he insists, they don't say yes, I insist. Make dua Allah
forgives me, and you may die and he said, Allah subhana wa Taala forgive you, and have mercy on you.
And this is a hadith in Sahih Muslim. When I heard this Hadith, someone told me this, I did my
thing, what she told me this, Heidi, I said, I can't believe this is true to Sahabi, like asking
another man to make dua for him. And if we find it inside a Muslim, this is how I this methodology
is, so say normal do until and I told him, where are you going to say I'm going to prefer to live in
		

			Iraq. So he said this, he writes a letter to the Government of Iraq to make sure he treats you well.
So he said, No, please, I want to remain obscure. So no one knew who always caught him. wasel
coordinate was he said, I only make dua for you on condition. You don't expose my identity. In the
last year of sitting down with a man from Iraq comes and he asks a normal for advice. It's a normal
says there is a man that lives under you, you the governor under you, there's a man called always
Academy, make sure he makes to offer you because he's to us are not rejected. So this man made hij
Anyway, back to cofa. And he found a way so corny, again, living obscure, no one knew who he was. It
		

			wasn't like the great, the great scholars or the great governors or the philosophers of the time, he
was just an ordinary man. And the governor finds him out. And since they told me to make dua, you
shouldn't know he first said you should make dua for me. So always will cognisance but you, you just
came from hij rather make dua for me. So this is nine ways to make dua for me make to offer me so
obviously you spoke to Omar didn't you? said yes, I spoke to Omar says, Okay, so I'm gonna give the
secret away. I'll make it out for you. But now I have to leave Kufa, I don't want to live, I don't
want to be known. And he leaves and he goes to Turkey. And then he passes away. It seems that these
		

			companies they in Turkey, a man that we don't know, when he was a great alum, how much they had to
teammate how much fasting he made, all we know. And what we know from the Hadeeth, he got this high
daraja, who's he looked after his mother,
		

			even adalja, that the companions asked him to make the law. And if your mother and father still
alive, your two biggest doors of gender are still there. You're the biggest dose of gender views are
still the man comes to the companion and he said,
		

			I proposed to a woman. And she rejected my proposal and married someone else. So I became envious
and I killed her. Now I regret what can I do to get forgiveness? Can I be forgiven? Hubby said yes,
you can say what can I do? So So hobby of the law of delayed upload, my boss said, Do you is your
mother still alive? So he said no. So then after loving about it, make dua Allah will forgive you.
And when they asked him why did you ask him his mother was still alive. So he said, I don't know a
way a better way an easier way to get almost mercy except through pleasing your mother. That is the
quickest way to gain or loss pleasure. The cycle of fade was a little sad, no Mohammed was
		

			serene. Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen Salam Alikum
