			Man Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala COVID mursaleen
		

			he was so happy he married my beloved brothers and sisters in Islam. Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah
wa barakatu. jacala. Hey, thank you so much for joining us this episode 50 of our series, the basic
women around the messenger sort of lonely or seldom. And yes, indeed, this is our last episode of
the series while hamdulillah. And we begin by sending our gratitude and making sure to Allah and
praising him for allowing us to reach this great milestone. A few months ago, when we started the
CDs, we set the the meeting, myself and the team and as I keep mentioning the visit a bunch of
people behind the scenes that put in a lot of effort and work to put this together, and we spoke
		

			about whether this project will be a success, whether it would be worthwhile to continue and
Hamdulillah, we've reached the end of the series 50 episodes a lot more than we expected initially,
well, Hamdulillah, we can only think of last panel data for allowing us to do this. And we paid it
Allah subhanho wa Taala, except from us, that he keeps us sincere that we do this only for his
pleasure. And that it is of benefit to you that have learned and you've listened to the series, I
hope that there was benefit in it, that you've learned a lot more about your dean, you found the
connection with the dean through these lectures. And also it was enjoyable, that listening to it was
		

			something that you look forward to that the next episode was something that you were anticipating, I
hope that was the case. And if not, so then we ask Allah Subhana Allah to forgive us for any
shortcomings. On our side, sometimes I re listen to the audio, and every episode is a mistake, or
something that I've said that I thought, you know, I could have said it better. So my last panel
data, pardon me for my shortcomings. And if there's anything that I say that offended anybody, or
that you disagreed with, then please let me know. I really appreciate the emails, when people email
me, and they give words of support and encouragement that's very good. And hamdullah, please do so
		

			encourage myself and the team. But even more, so if there's something that was wrong. And please let
me know so that I can rectify it. And I can send out a correction in the next episode. So we begin
by giving sugar to Allah subhanaw taala. And to all the people that have been part of this wonderful
project, I really enjoyed doing the series. It's a series that I'm highly passionate about. And we
can only give you know, chuckanut Allah subhanaw taala allowed us to do this. And then of course, as
I see that there's a whole team of people behind the scenes that do this, the team at bronto Islam,
there's a lot of late nights we they sit down and they edit the audios and edit the notes. Sometimes
		

			on my part, I'm quite late. I mean, if you see the process, and on the outside, it looks like well
polished product sometimes. But you know, the reality is a little stranger than that. So I think the
team at bronto Islam, the individuals, they wouldn't want to be mentioned by name, but I'm gonna
mamasan the blessing. Again, everyone in this process, they do this in only light Allah, there's no
fee, there's no salaries being taken for those doing this work. So Allah Subhana Allah reward them
and give them something better. And of course, and the families, the families in my family, there's
a lot of times usually doesn't come out of we are all working people. So the times we do is we put
		

			this in during after hours, times when we have to disappear and do these recordings. So please, our
families that usually pay the price and the sacrifices to do this every single week. But last time
that it would them for the patients. And then of course, as I said to all of you who've listened,
and to those of you who fought on the lectures, and May Allah grant you your word, sometimes you
just forwarded on and that lecture reaches the strange places. panela. This week, I received a
message from a group of people that are currently in pools represent. I don't know anyone personally
from pools or prison. But I received a message from a brother that says they have heard the lectures
		

			about the whys of the problem. And it has given them a lot of encouragement, a lot of hope they look
forward to it one every evening of the market, they would listen to these lectures Subhan Allah how
these lectures travel around the world, Allah knows best, I have no idea how it gets the and we can
only think Allah subhanaw taala. And this is something that is of benefit, and something that will
be rewarding for everyone, for all those of you who listen. And when you see it, it's an easy way to
earn rewards, you see it so well from the data. When we look back at the series of thanking
everyone, we look back at the series, and we ask did we achieve the objective? When I started the
		

			series, you know, I mentioned that I'm deeply passionate about this topic. Because as a young
person, I was always intrigued or always asked the question, why did the persona marry so many
women? And usually, as we said, it's painted in a very negative way The problem is described, you
know, in spotlight, he's the best of people, but there are those who describe him in the Western
world in many terrible ways, especially with regards to him and his wives. Why do they have so many
women? Why was he so young? And it's important for us today for to be able to understand the context
of his marriages, to be able to answer these kind of questions because we call it on away from them
		

			anymore to explain to our kids, you know, as a eight nine year old child having these questions, you
struggle to find answers, but now that we have the answers available to us speak about your kids
because they will be asking the questions either from themselves or someone at school adversity at
work will have those questions.
		

			So this is one of the big reasons why I did this course. And I also I need to mention yes montilla
someone that I would like to give sugar to as well. Um Allah subhanaw taala forgive him and bless
him and grant him a high place in gender professor, use of the Costa. I remember as a young child
having these questions in my mind, and I was in Poland years ago, and shift came to give a jamaa
footbaww, very briefly 30 minutes on the eyes of the professor lamp. And that lecture stuck with me.
I mean, as a young child in Juma, usually you hardly pay attention, but I remember she giving a talk
on the wives of the Prophet Salam. And it opened my mind and until today, I remember that you must,
		

			I have never personally met chef de Costa, he has passed away, I'll grant him a place in gentlemen,
forgive him for any shortcomings. But a word that you might give. And I take this a word that I
might say a word that you might give your nephew an email, you might say something, it leaves an
impression on somebody, a young child may hear one or two things from you. And that will stay with
him the rest of their life and might impact the decisions that they do for good or for bad. So, you
know, be mindful of what you say. And also don't discount any good things you do. For sure, probably
he doesn't even remember the quote, but I'm sure if he hopefully shifted, you know, his agenda. But
		

			he wouldn't even remember the one that he gave. But I remember it as a young child. So spatola, we
thank Allah subhanho wa Taala again, and we remind ourselves that we share this goodness, and that
it pays dividends in our account in ways that we cannot even imagine. So we did the series with the
intention of learning about a very controversial topic in Islam, women in Islam, we've tackled some
of the most difficult issues around gender, with discuss some of the most controversial ayat and
Hadith. And I hope now that we've clarified certain things, for those of you who have doubts, who
are Christians, as I had doubts, and I had questions, the only way is for you to confront those
		

			questions to ask those questions. We ideen in which Allah says extra part of reading and learning is
the question is to ask your Imam, your chef, your mowlana to go back into the books and learn
because we believe that this is an answer. Allah does not require from you, me, blind faith, he
requires from us to learn and to study. And when we see what Islam is all about, voila, here we will
be convinced with sincerity insha, Allah, this is the deen and this is the correct way. And this way
of life is the best for me. So those of us who have doubts, particularly at our agenda, I hope the
CDs clarified some of those misconceptions. Of course, a lot more needs to be done. And then beyond
		

			the controversial side of it, the thing that really I enjoy, that I love, and I hope that you've
also enjoyed was the stories, I hope that you've got to know your mothers, that this is not just a
topic about any any person, not just any Sahaba This is about your mother's. So now along with the
mom that you have the mother that you know, you know your other 12 mothers that you've learned
about, I hope you have a relationship with them. I hope for the sisters, you have role models,
someone to aspire to be like, I hope that you look at these names. You think I'm more like an Ayesha
or Khadija or hafsa whoever it might be. And that is my role model. It's very good to have role
		

			models in Islam and what wonderful women they were. And it shows us once again the role of sisters
in the deen that this Deen from its very beginning, only move forward through the contribution of
both men and women that this Deen and hamdulillah has come this fall because our sisters played a
big role in it. And in our community. There's so many so many heroes that are our aunties, our
mothers, our sisters, women, usually women don't get the attention. They don't do it for the
attention. But we discount it we underplay the contribution that they've made in our Deen. So we
should celebrate our heroes, we should celebrate the men and the women who have done great things in
		

			the deen. And to remind us that this Deen is for both of us. So Alhamdulillah they are also attached
to this audio, we have sent out a quiz. If you click on the link, and I hope you do this will take
you it won't take you more than five minutes. It's a multiple choice quiz. There are no penalties,
there's no negative marking. So just we have some questions for you to go through to see how much
you've learned from the lectures. Some of course, just listen, now and again, some have been very
diligent. So do the quiz. And it will be seen back to us and inshallah, we hope to give
certification for those of you who complete the quiz and succeed in it. And then more importantly
		

			for us, there's also a survey a few questions afterwards, about what worked for you what didn't work
for you, what you liked about the CDs, what you didn't like about the CDs, how we can improve
because this really was our very first attempt at an online or WhatsApp series using the WhatsApp
platform. And it's a learning process for us. And we take your comments really seriously. And we
adjust our process and our procedures accordingly so that we can deliver something which is of
benefit to you something that will really be worthwhile. We live in an age of information overload.
your phones are being bombarded by all kinds of messages. You know, you get so many Hadeeth of the
		

			day, so many is so many reminders, it's all good, but there's just so much that you can you can
consume and we tried
		

			To give you something which was very short, which we you can do in your, you know, while you're
sitting in traffic or you're sitting in the queue in the bank, whatever it might be, you can listen
to it within 20 minutes, and it will be beneficial. And it's something that you enjoy listening
something with your kids will enjoy listening. That was our objective. And if we fallen short, then
inshallah Allah forgive us, and we hope to improve. But we can only do so with your input, and we
can adjust going forward. So please do the quiz, I really asked you please do the quiz. You're not
only taking from this year, not only doing something which will benefit the give us information, you
		

			might give a great suggestion that will change our process, and then it will benefit 1000s of
people, the number of people that have received this lecture allow Ireland, how many people have
ever received, it's gone to many different countries of the world have received wonderful emails
from them. So your input your questions, some people you know, they brave enough, they ask a
question. And that question gets answered on this WhatsApp line. It answers the question for maybe
hundreds of other people who had a similar similar, you know, nagging doubt in their heart. So ask
your questions. Don't feel shy to do so give us your feedback, please do the survey. I asked you
		

			sincerely please do the survey. So that we can benefit. I mean, then going forward in sha Allah,
this is Episode 50. And this brings a conclusion to our series, the women around the messenger
sallallahu sallam. But of course, we want to continue using this platform. And we did a survey to we
took a poll in terms of what topics are the most relevant to you? Or what topics are those that you
are concerned about who you'd like to learn about? And it's come back, you know, very, very clearly
that most people who listen to these lectures, you'd like to learn a lot you'd like to go back to
basics. You'd like to learn about what it means to be a Muslim. Not just from the ritual side, back
		

			to basics, but let's take it all the way from the beginning. I'm starting new Yes, I'm a Muslim or
hamdulillah I believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala. But I'd like to go back in terms of what does it
really mean to be a Muslim? What is Islam all about? How can I be convinced that this Deen is the
correct Deen? And when I talk about my theology, who is Alawis? Allah, these kind of very basic
fundamental questions that we've never asked with a Muslim for 5060 years. But if anybody asked that
question we were just taught from the beginning. I'm a born Muslim, and you continued like that. And
then of course, going from the we will talk about the ritual worship, how to perform Voodoo, how to
		

			perform Salah, we've gone to madrasa or madressa or maktab. You know, when we're kids, we just learn
penetration. And now as we get a little older, we want to revise that information. But in a far more
mature, a far more academic way. We'd like to ask questions like, why is the Hanafi we'll do an A
Shafi will do. Why did the sharefest make one or two fudger? Why do we even make sure that if I
missed this, so I missed that? How do I correct Mashallah, of course these kind of questions, we
will work kids in madressa, we didn't have the opportunity asked him, and now it will more mature.
We parents, we have kids, we have to teach our kids. Now these questions are very important for us.
		

			So that is really what has come back from the quiz. Also, a lot of you would like to do some Tafseer
as well. So we'll try and incorporate this back to basics section more fundamentals of Islam, I
think we'd actually call it the fundamentals of Islam. We'll talk a little bit about your theology,
your Akita, we'll talk about the rituals effect. And we'll talk a little bit about the meaning of
Surah Fatiha, the meanings of the neurons that you use each and every day. So we'll be doing a much
broader topic in this. And of course, with Ramadan, not too long away, we obviously hope to do the
feature of fasting as well so that we in the best shape when Ramadan comes around. So this is our
		

			intention in sha Allah, for those of you who receive these lectures, and you don't listen to them,
or you don't, you know, you don't have the time for that. And hamdulillah I'm sure you're very busy,
and you are listening to other lectures, and you're part of other halaqaat of learning. But I don't
want to, you know, exhaust your data unnecessarily. Please let us know that this is really maybe a
topic that is not for you a topic that you've covered Alhamdulillah you've already mastered that
area, and you are interested in other topics, then let us know and we'll remove you from our
WhatsApp line. And please don't feel shy some of you might feel shy to say, remove me from the
		

			WhatsApp line. There is no judgement Yeah, well hamdulillah just let us know so that it doesn't
require us to send it to you and you own you know, inconvenience you receiving it. So basically,
there's no inshallah, we don't want to bombard your inbox or your WhatsApp, with unnecessary
information. And for those of you and hamdulillah would like to have further questions, you can
obviously engage with us on different topics. So don't you don't have to confine your questions to
these topics, you can talk about anything even beyond the scope of the lecture. So from that era, we
will conclude on that we will wrap up Episode 50. These episodes are available in sha Allah on our
		

			bronto which I put on all that all that today, put a handle that does it. If you haven't listened to
all the audios and you'd like to reach him. You can go on the website and you can download the audio
and the notes. You can go to Muslim Central comm you can go to the Muslim Central website as well
and you can search for Mohammed waste as a speaker and they would be the CDs as well. I believe it
should be updated soon and of course
		

			If you'd like to receive it via WhatsApp, you can message myself with the office or wait for triple
to 13. Or you can message us and we will send you all the lectures. And even if you want to receive
it on a USB, you can actually hit No. And we'll provide you with a USB with all 50 episodes and the
full set of notes. And then you can have it you know, in digital format. So that is also available.
Maybe you'd like to give the entire set over to someone I know some people that have said, Okay,
wait until the I want to binge listen to the kind of binge watch series, I'd like to binge watch or
binge listen to the entire series. I don't want to start in the middle, when it's done, then give me
		

			all of the episodes and then I will listen to it from there. So there might be someone like that
someone that you might know, you might have a young daughter cofrin that's at university, very
important for our sisters, as I said, to have role models, you know, give this over to them. If they
listen to it when hamdulillah and they get the benefit, then you know, that's all in your skills of
goodness. And if they don't listen to it, and haven't they've done your responsibility of sharing
information. So I hope that Allah Subhana Allah accepts from us. And we look forward to our new
series, which will be released in the next week or so in the coming few days of this week. I pray
		

			that you do the quiz and that you can test your knowledge and give it a proper go and see if you
learned for the very last time and I hope you can do this by yourself now. Let's go through the
names of the wives of the Rasul Lem. For one last time we begin, Khadija sodha Ayesha hafsa, Xena
being hoceima whom Salah, Xena vintage ash, jewelry, yeah.
		

			Rama, Sophia maimunah. Maria alakea, Allah subhanho wa Taala except from all of us, may Allah
Subhana bless us. May Allah grant us the love of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and his family. May
we be on the string of Nabisco sell them and be in his companionship in general Filipinos very soon.
I mean, just like Allah Hey, thank you so much. Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
