00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			These numbers mean nothing for them. There's a
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			different scale.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			It's a different scale of one of the
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			largest empires on earth, and we're about to
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			clash with them.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			We're actually about to clash with them. And
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			Allah describes that clash how does he describe
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16
			it?
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			Once again everyone, Assalamu Alaikum.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Actually one of the things I misspoke about
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			yesterday I wanna correct is a
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			lot of scholars hold of you and I'm
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			actually found that more convincing also.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			When he said there's other land that you
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			haven't been able to acquire yet you haven't
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			been able to access it yet
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			it's actually they argue that this is referring
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			to Makkah itself
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			that Makkah is just just the other land
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			that you haven't been able to access because
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			all this time we've been at war we've
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			been expelled from Makkah and we are not
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			able to go back to Makkah, but Allah
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			has that covered for you.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			Right?
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			So this is what Allah is giving giving
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			them an indication and there's always smaller signs
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			before the greater signs. Right? So one of
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			the things that we won't talk about detail
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			in detail,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			in this session, but Insha'Allah at some point
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			in the future I will, is that they
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			agreed that you can come back next year.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			But Mecca was not conquered the next year.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			So, they're still in the state of peace
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:06
			treaty,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:07
			and
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			the Muslim influence continues to grow,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			and you know the political landscape is kind
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			of a cold war situation.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			Right? So there is tension but there is
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			no conflict.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			Right?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			And so while in that state the Prophet
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			actually made them live up to their
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			agreement and he showed up for umrah
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			the next year and it's called Umratul Qaba.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			Umratul Qaba means the umrah that was owed
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			like salah is kaba right? You you owe
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			a prayer and you make it up. So
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			this was owed from the year previous.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			So he came and made it up. And
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:40
			2,000
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			sahaba actually made umrah.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			And people some reports say people closed their
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			doors and people got nervous because the Muslims
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			are all the way inside the heart of
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			Makkah making Tawaf. But one of the things
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			I want you to think about is from
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			the Muslim perspective, not just the non Muslim,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			the Qurayshi perspective. From the Muslim perspective, they
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			are doing tawaf and they are doing the
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			right rituals of salah,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			but but the idols
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			are still there.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			The idols are still there.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			This is pretty serious because
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			the Muslims when when, the Prophet salAllahu alaihi
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			wa sallam moved to Madinah,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			Allah revealed early on that the direction of
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			prayer will no longer be Jerusalem,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			the direction will be the Kaaba. Right?
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			So our direction changed.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			And in order to pray towards
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			Jerusalem, the Prophet
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			has to have his back to Makkah
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:29
			because it's
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			Makkah,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:31
			Madinah,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			Jerusalem. So, if you're facing Jerusalem,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			you are facing away from Makkah.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			And if you are facing Makkah, you are
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			facing away from Jerusalem. And Allah had not
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			revealed yet
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			that you should be praying toward Makkah. You
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			should be praying towards so he continued to
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			pray towards Jerusalem. So when he was praying
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			towards Jerusalem, his back was to
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			Makkah and he felt bad about that. He
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			didn't like to turn his back on the
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Kaaba. And Allah
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			revealed, you know,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			we saw your face turning towards the sky,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			so we're turning your face towards the direction
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			that makes you happy which is the the
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			Kaaba itself. Right? So Allah revealed that this
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			was actually because of the feelings of the
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam. You know, even
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			though we know the grand scheme, this was
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			always meant to be the mission, but Allah
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			described it as something that was meant to
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			give calm to the heart of the prophet
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			alaihis salatu wa salam. So you'll notice even
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			in this surah, tranquility in the heart is
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			really important, isn't it? Like, here we're talking
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			about a military conquest,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			and you know, a political strategizing,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			and armies amassing, and affiliate tribes, and all
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			this other geopolitical
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			stuff. And in the middle of it is,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			sakinah fiqulubin muminim. Like,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			why are we having the spiritual conversation about
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			tranquility in the hearts in the middle of
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			this political discourse. Right? Because in our minds
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			the in the secular mind
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			in the secular mind, subjects are separated from
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			each other. Different parts of life are separated
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			from each other. So, you got your professional
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			life, you got your you got your work
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			life, you got your, you know, personal time
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			life, you got your family life, you got
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			your your your friends life, and you have
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			these parts of your life that are sectioned
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			off from each other. And it's you're almost
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			a different person in these different states. Right?
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			But when it comes to the Quran, it
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			doesn't take this
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			sort of sectioned off, boxed off approach
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:21
			to life
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			and to engagement.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			So here we are dealing with a political
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			situation, but at the same time it's a
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			spiritual state.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			It's a spiritual matter also. So there is
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			this unification of things in our religion and
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			it extends not just to the Surah but
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			actually in across all matters in life.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			So actually, you know,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			your business life, your family life, my my
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			my life with my friends,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			all of them are actually spiritual states too.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			All of them. There none of them are
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			like, oh, this is duniya that's deen. No.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			All of it's deen actually. All of it
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			is deen. So when you're together with your
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			friends and somebody starts talking badly about somebody
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			else and you refrain
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			and you even stop that conversation from happening,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			you're in a spiritual state. You just did
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			irbadah.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			That that was an act of worship
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			and that was a reminder of Allah in
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			that state. When when somebody came and offered
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			you, you know,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			you know, illegal money,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			for example,
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			right, under the table, and you refuse the
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			deal even though nobody would have found out,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			you know, nobody would have known,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			then that's that's you actually
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			being mindful of Allah
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			when you have dirt on somebody because nowadays
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			is a there's a whole culture of getting
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			dirt on people. Right? Getting getting the load
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			out information on people. You know? Oh, I
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			got this stuff, man. If I get this
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			out there, this person's gonna be destroyed. This
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			person what do you think I should do?
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			You don't like him either. Right?
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			So what do you think I should do?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			And you're like well,
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			one thing you could do is just do
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			whatever you gotta do, bro. I don't don't
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			keep me out of it. And that's that's
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			your way of saying please do it.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			Right?
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			But instead, you say no. You wouldn't want
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			that to happen to you. Why would you
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			do that to anybody else? It doesn't matter
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			if you like the guy or not, or
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			it doesn't matter if you like her or
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			not. If you wouldn't want that to be
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			the way you should be dealt with, you
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			shouldn't be dealing that with in that way
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			with anybody else.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			Right? So there is this like,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			taqwa that
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			permeates every situation.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			But coming back to
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			some of the concluding comments in the surah,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			one of the things I didn't mention in
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			in more detail, I did refer to the
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			fact that there was tranquility inside and above.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			Right? And the tranquility inside
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			referred to deeply seated penetrating anger
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			that resides inside.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			But actually when they took the bay'a, when
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			they were about to go get killed, there
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			was also a matter of fear, and fear
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			overshadows you. So the sakinah overshadowed the believers.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			Right? So there's the to address the anger,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			the sakinah was put inside the hearts, and
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			to address the fear, the sakinah was poured
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			on top of them
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			because the fear hovered on top of them,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			right, of of, you know,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			possibly being being being slaughtered.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:04
			Now,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			Allah is making reference to the event that
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			already occurred. Now, so it's it's just interesting.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			The Muslims in this surah
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			as they're traveling back, they're being made to
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			think about things that already happened and things
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			that are going to happen. So the future,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			the past in the future, the past in
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			the future, we keep oscillating between the 2
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			in the Surah. So now we're actually
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			going to the back because Allah was talking
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			if you remember towards the end of yesterday,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			Allah was talking about lands that you're going
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			to acquire.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			Right? So that's in the future. And then
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			immediately after that, he started talking about he's
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			the one who kept your hands from reaching
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			them and their their hands from reaching you.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			And that might even be a reference to
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			when those AD assassins came to try to
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			stir things up and no casualties and they
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			were put that was all put to rest.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			Even though you Allah says, Bin Badi al
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			Afarakum alayhim in the ayah. Even though you
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			had your claws all over them. You know
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			when a lion has the prey under its
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			claw and it's just got it grabbed, it
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			hasn't killed it yet. So the deer is
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			there and the deer is going, oh dear.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			And the lion, you know, and the lion
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			is like, it's just sitting there like, you
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			know,
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			I'll I'll bite your head off just not
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:11
			yet.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			You know? So
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			this is the description Allah gave of when
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:16
			the Muslims
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			had those assassins or those those those thugs
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			captured and they were basically under our claw
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			and then you release them. Right? And so
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			Allah says, and and
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			after you release them, there was this anger.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			Why did we release them?
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			And so Allah actually sympathizes with those who
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			wanted to go to war. Like I was
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			telling you yesterday, Humulladhinakaforoo.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			They are the ones who disbelieved. If you
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			think about,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			you know, large groups that can break out
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			into violence, we talked about that yesterday, but
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			large groups that break out into violence, all
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			it takes really is a spark.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			Right? So this is why crowding, you know,
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			in legal terminology, even if you've done high
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			school level constitutional law, or, you know, American
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			history or whatever, you know, screaming fire in
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			a crowded theater.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			Right? You heard about that before, right? So
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			that's considered a crime because you're endangering people.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			You're endangering false alarm, you can cause a
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			stampede, people can die. So when you create
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			chaos situations, then that's actually gonna create a
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			lot of death. So
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			the chaos situations could have erupted at any
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			one of those moments. When they got to
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			Hudaybiyyah, they were almost attacked.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			Actually, before Hudaybiyah, there was an attempt to
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			kill them, and Khaled ibn Walid was just
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			waiting for the next prayer. So, when they're
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			praying, they can be he can attack them.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			Then, they had to take the treacherous road
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			to get to Hudaybiyah.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			Then when the negotiations started, the Prophet salAllahu
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			alaihi wa sallam was being insulted.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			And then when finally the negotiations
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			came to pass,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			or even before then the rumor that Uthman
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:44
			has been killed,
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			and one of the negotiators of the Muslims
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			went in there and got beat up, Jirish
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			got beat up. Right? So there's multiple sparks
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			that could have erupted the the violence
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			at any moment, but Allah kept that from
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:57
			erupting
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			time and time and time and time again.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			And then finally, they're actually ready to go
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			to war, and on the verge of walking
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			into Makkah ready to die
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			to avenge Uthman, and Uthman comes back right
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			in the right second. Imagine if he came
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			2 minutes late.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			Right? Even if he came 2 minutes late,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			3 people would have saw him, the other
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			1400 wouldn't have seen him.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			They would have
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			gone and fought whoever they would have fought.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			Right? So the violence could have erupted in
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			that. So Allah keeps bringing
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			the
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			the Muslims to the edge of,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			you know, explosion.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			And he keeps pulling back and then right
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			to the edge and then back and then
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			right to the edge and then back. I'm
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			a I'm a big you know, part of
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			my psyche is watching a lot of cartoons
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			when I grew up. You ever see those
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			cartoons when they have the TNT and it's
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			and
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			it's reaching the thing that's gonna explode.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			So it just it keeps getting right to
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			the edge and then it gets put out.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			Then it gets you know.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			Atfaa Allah. Allah keeps putting it out. Right?
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			And so so Allah says,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			and even though Allah put it out every
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:58
			time,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			it's not because those people don't deserve it,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			they deserve it. They're the ones who disbelieved.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			They are the ones who stopped the animal
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			from shabwa. Well, you know, so, walhadia ma'akufanaan
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			yabilugamuh Mahallahu. And the last thing I spoke
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			to you about yesterday
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			was how there are actually secret believers inside
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			Makkah. And there are also potential believers inside
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:20
			Makkah
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			which teaches Muslims forever,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			we don't know who the secret believer is
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			and we definitely don't know who the potential
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			believer is.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			Actually, I was giving a lecture on this
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			surah 10 years ago
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			in in London,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			and that's recorded on Vayina TV in more
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			detail than what I'm covering with you guys
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			here.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			And
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			in one of the breaks, a sister came,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			and she took Shahada.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			Right? And she she accepted her Islam, and
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			then she continued to attend the program. And
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			I I referenced her in the lecture itself.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			And I was like, well, if she had
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			come, but she came with her non Muslim
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			friends, she's been thinking about Islam for a
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			while, 30 minutes ago we wouldn't have seen
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			her as a Muslim.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			But Allah did.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			Allah did. You know Christians came to meet
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			the Prophet
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			at another time, earlier time.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			These Christians came to meet the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			alaihi wa sallam and before they and he
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			just recited the Quran. That's all he did,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			he recited the Quran and Allah says,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			you are going to see their eyes start
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			rolling with tears,
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			like they are just hearing Quran and just
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22
			bawling.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			Right? And then one of the declarations they
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			make
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			is, We were already Muslim before this.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			That's what they say. In the Quran they
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			say, We were already Muslim before this. Meaning
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			in the sight of Allah and in their
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			hearts they already had Islam.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			So there's an Islam you and I can
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			see and there's an Islam you and I
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			cannot see.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			There is there is a, you know,
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			there is the appearance of Muslim and then
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			there is the state of the heart that's
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			that's, you know, on the way to Islam,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			you know. And you will never know. You
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			you simply will never know, you know. So
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			this not being able to judge and therefore
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			forget if you can't judge, then you can't
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			consider them an enemy. If you can't consider
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			them an enemy, you can't consider them as
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			combatants in war. So there's this kind of
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			trickle effect between these things. But that doesn't
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			mean we don't have enemies.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			This is that's one side but that become
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			that can become an extreme. That just mean,
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			oh, don't judge anybody.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			They're shooting at you. Don't judge though. You
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			don't know what's in their heart. They're shooting
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			at you bro.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			Right?
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			So I don't wanna judge anyone. No. No.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			No. No. No. This is not We're not
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			hippies. We're not That's not that's not It's
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			all good in the hood. It's it's not
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			like that. It's actually there's
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			there is yes. There is not blanket judgment
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			on everybody
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			but there are individuals that will be judged
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			and there are situations that need to be
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			judged.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			And one of those situations
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			which occurs in Suratul Mumtahala remember I told
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			you about, Suratul Mumtahala before,
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			which is that, you know, the the women
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			that came
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			from
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			from Makkah escaping to Medina and how they
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			got patrioted into society. Right?
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			And they got quickly married off too.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			The men were paid off paid, their previous
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			husbands, and they got quickly married off and
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			which is also amazing. They were married to
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			a pagan, but that wasn't a smear on
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			their character.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			So what?
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			You know what they call that nowadays? You
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			come with a lot of baggage.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			Right?
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			There's there's no baggage.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			Islam erases everything and it's all good. These
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			are honorable women to marry. Right? But part
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			of that Surah was also
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			the opening of the Surah.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			Those of you who believe, those of you
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			who have faith, don't take my enemy and
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			your enemy as awliya. Awliya is a term
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			I've already familiarized you with. Yes, allies, close
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			ties. Don't make allies with enemies.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			That's what Allah says in the opening ayah.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			This is important because
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:57
			this surah came after Hudaybiyyah, after this surah.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:58
			Okay.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			And this surah came actually right as the
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			Prophet was about to conquer Makkah
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			Why is the Quran waiting all all this
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			time to talk about the enemy?
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			You would think
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			a surah about the enemy of Allah would
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			be revealed when we're about to go to
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:16
			Badr
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:17
			or Uhud
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			or Hazab.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Right? That's when you hear you wanna hear
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			the word enemy.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			But you're going to Makkah. Now you're about
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			to conquer Makkah. And
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			you don't need they don't you don't need
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			any more alliances with them.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			But so you're and we all know the
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			conquest of Mecca by and large is a
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			peaceful endeavor.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			Right? So even though it was a military
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			advance, there was no war that broke out.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			Right? So this was a peaceful takeover of
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			Mecca essentially.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			Right?
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			But Allah still used the word enemy in
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			that case, which is unusual because we expected
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			enemy in the war cases and he used
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			it in the non war
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			situation. Why?
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			Because when you even if you're at peace,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			you should know who your enemies have been
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			and you cannot let your guard down.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			Whether or not we judge if they have
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			faith in their hearts is a different thing.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			But if someone's Firaoun, whether Firaoun has an
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			ounce of faith in his heart or not,
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			that's not up to me to judge. But
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			if he's acting like Firaoun or he's been
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			acting like Firaoun,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			then I'm gonna tread with caution.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			And I'm still going to see him as
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:22
			an enemy.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			And to the point where I will not
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			make him an ally,
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			like cover me and he's got a gun
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			and with I think he's gonna shoot at
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			the enemy behind my back and he might
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			be shooting me in the back of the
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			head. Right? So I can't do that. I
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			can't be naive.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			And so there's the story of Hatib ibn
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			Baltah
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			associated with Surah al Buntaha,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			But Insha'Allah, I'll talk to you about that
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			in a minute. Let's let's come back to
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			this surah.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			So towards the end of this surah, now
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			Allah is going to describe how
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			when those who disbelieved
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			placed in their hearts
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			bias. Hamiyya. Hamiyya means strong tribal bias.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			Hamiyya tells jahiliyah. Then Allah reinforces that word
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			with altanab
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			and He says a bias that was based
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12
			on extreme ignorant emotion. And the jahiliyah can
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			also refer to the kind of bias that
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			only existed in the times of jahiliyah before
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:16
			Islam.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			So hamiyatul Jahiliyah could be hamiyat aasr in
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			Jahiliyah.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			Now what is this referring to?
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			1st and foremost,
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			the the Quraysh could not accept
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			that someone other than their own tribe
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			is going to have that kind of power.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			So this was a tribal pride thing
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			that they they carried with them. But they
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			also wanted to stir up the Muslims by
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			making them
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			prideful.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			So they try to agitate the Muslims anyway
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			they can. So
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			is not just and
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			they tried to stir up, they stirred up
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			their own tribal pride but they wanted to
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			get the Muslims aggravated too. They wanted the
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			Muslims to actually engage in some kind of
		
00:18:59 --> 00:18:59
			mistake,
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			some kind of aggression because when the Muslims
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			if the Muslims
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			engaged in any kind of aggression, then they
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			have a right to say, we have the
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			right to defend ourselves and that's why we
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			killed all of you.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			So they're trying to stir the Muslims up
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			so that the Muslims will make a misstep
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			and then they'll justify their behavior. This is
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			what they were doing early on in the
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			Sira too. When the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			sallam's message was getting
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			was spreading quickly,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			then, you know, the the Quraysh started beating
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			up Muslims in the streets, and torturing Muslims,
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			and engaging in violence against Muslims openly in
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			Makkah. Right? But Allah will describe another place
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			in the Quran commenting on what was going
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			on in Makkah. Allah says that you
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			were told, kufu aidiakum,
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			hold your hands back.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:47
			Hold
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			your hands back. Don't be violent in your
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			resistance
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			to the kuffar.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			So in Makkah, there was actually a policy
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			for the Muslims. Don't fight back.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			Just preach the message. Don't compromise on the
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			message.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			You know Bilal is capable of fighting.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			Bilal has fought in battles.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			He's capable of fighting. But in Makkah, he's
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			just gonna say, ahad, ahad, ahad.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			He's not gonna fight
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:16
			because there's why not? It's natural human instinct
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			to fight back.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			Why not fight back? You know,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			the the reason for that
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			is
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			There was a policy revealed by Allah that
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			Allah told us about in the Quran later
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			in Madinah, which was hold your hands back,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			remain nonviolent.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			In Makkah the policy was remain nonviolent.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			Now there are lots of wisdoms in that
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			because if the Muslims did become violent, imagine
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			that Umar, who is very capable,
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			you
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			know, just decides that somebody messed with the
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			Prophet he's gonna go take their head off
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			or he's gonna go, you know, gut
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			them. If he did that, the Quraysh would
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:51
			have justification
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			to say, Look, we told you these Muslims
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			are killers,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			they are not just preaching some kind of
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			message, they are here to murder you, look
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			this person got murdered. They're not gonna tell
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			you what happened and what was the consequence.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			They're not gonna give you the backstory. They're
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			gonna spin it into a story of their
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			own. The kuffar are masters of spin.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			The Prophet was already told, sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			sallam, these people are very good at creating
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			smear campaigns. That's actually what
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			boils down to.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			Right? They're they're they go around creating different
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			kinds of criticisms of you and spreading rumors
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			about you, scandals about you. So if you
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			give them 1 inch, they'll turn it into
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			a mile. You give them a small, the
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			small enough hole that can fit a nail,
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			they'll turn it into the Grand Canyon.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			Right? So this was actually a propaganda war
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			in the beginning.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			And one of the great objectives was to
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			offend the Muslims enough that they will do
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			something that will go against what Allah wants.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:48
			And this was
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			we and the days of holding back are
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			long gone. That was in Makkah. And And
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			then we moved to Madinah and Allah finally
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			said,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			The people who were wronged have now been
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			given permission to fight back. So now in
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			Badr we fought back, in Uhud we fought
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			back. Now we can fight back, we're a
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			military now. We're not gonna take it quietly
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10
			anymore. Those days of da'wah and just sabr
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:10
			are over.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			That's over with. But now when we get
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:13
			to Hudaybiyah,
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			it's like we have to go back to
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			sabr again. No, no, no. We're
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			good at fighting.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			We already crossed the desert.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			You know, and we got swords now on
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			us too. It's not the policy of sabr,
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			but also So they're trying to stir them
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			up
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			to, you know, get them to fight back,
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			to get them to do something. And Allah
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			says,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			Then Allah sent down his calmness,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			his own calmness, meaning a special calmness that
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			comes from Allah. Before we saw as sakinah,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			now we're seeing sakinah tahu,
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			as calmness that comes specially from Allah.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			He sent that onto his messenger and onto
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			the believers. Meaning the one who was offended
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			more than anyone else was actually Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			alaihi wasallam. We look at the silah event,
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			right? And we see that everybody got stirred
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			up and everybody got upset and who was
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:10
			calm?
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			Rasool salallahu alaihi wa sallam was calm. What
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			we don't know is what Allah tells us.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			Nobody was more angry than the Prophet of
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and that was
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			on the inside.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			That was on the inside. He was raging
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			over what was being done, what was being
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			said.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			But he has to He is more in
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			control over his emotions than everybody else.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			His one control over himself
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			is more powerful than 1400 people in their
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			rage.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			Just can you imagine,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			first of all, the people that are angry,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			you're angrier than them,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			but you have to act calmer than all
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			of them.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			And then they're thinking, why isn't he mad?
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			Why isn't he angry? So
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			it's such a frustrating situation to be in,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			and Allah says, this required a special calmness
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			that can only come from Allah.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:07
			And
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			then And He set this tranquility
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			onto those who have iman. So they eventually
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			calm down also, and I would read this
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			sakinah also here as the surah itself. The
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			surah is the thing that calm them down.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			If you read the seerah account,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			nobody was calming down until finally, okay, yes,
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			they obeyed the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			begrudgingly, quietly
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			after he, you know, he slaughtered the animal
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			and shaved his head, but really there was
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:30
			still
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			an anger in the atmosphere and a frustration.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			There was no sakinah until the Quran came.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			And then like describing Umar bin Khattab, the
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			Quran, the the the seerah account says, his
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			his inner self was calm now because the
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			surah came.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			So now,
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			listen to these words, he committed them, Allah
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			committed them
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			to the word of taqwa.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			So let's add this is sounds ambiguous. He
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			committed them to the word of taqwa.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Them not fighting, them holding
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			back, them
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			quietly obeying the Prophet
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam, them slaughtering the animal
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			and delivering the animal for the Quraysh to
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			eat,
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			them now quietly walking back,
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			all of them not even getting to see
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:16
			the Kaaba.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			Can you just, I want you to empathize,
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			because empathy is a hard thing.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			It's a difficult thing. We're reading about something
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			that happened
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			a millennium and a half ago from people
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			that are historically far removed from us. As
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			much as we love and respect them, the
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			situation is hard for you to relate to.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			I want to give you an example.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			Say that you were, you know, if you
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			live in a country like, let's say, Indonesia,
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			for example, with with Americans, it's a lot
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			easier. If you want to go to Hajj,
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			you can just go to Hajj.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			Right? Just find a company or whatever, apply,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			and they have plenty of room for you,
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			and you can go. And And if you
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			didn't get to go this year, you could
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			easily go next year. But in a largest
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			Muslim population in the world, Indonesia, they can't
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			just go to Hajj whenever they want. They
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			have to apply, they have to have a
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			waiting list, Then eventually, a young man who
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			may be 18, 19 years old applies and
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			he might get a chance to go when
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			he's almost 40.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			That can happen too. And they're gonna get
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			that one chance. That's it. That's that's all
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:08
			they're gonna get.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			So now they get to finally get to
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			go. They've been saving up all this time,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			and they finally get to go to Hajj
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:17
			when they're 40. They were all these years.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			And they, you know, they they board on
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			the plane super excited. They they make kids
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:21
			a saudiyah
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			super excited and then at you know they
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			they they land in Jada,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			and before the mikat has been done, they
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			put the Ihram on, everything's ready. They're they
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			got their dua, little dua book, and you
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			know, and the Indonesian they go in groups.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			Right? They got the whole the elbow thing.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			Right? So they got the elbow practice down,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			the rehearsals rehearsals done, everything's ready. They're in
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			Jannah excited,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			and they get the announcement. Yeah. The Indonesians,
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			all of your Hajj visas are canceled. You
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			must go back now.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:50
			Right?
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			Or even better, they're driving labayk Allah, hama
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			labayk, labaykala sharika labaykla labayk. You you get
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			all the way and you could see the
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			pillars of the haram
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			and then the police stops you and says
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			go back, we can't have you in here.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			No explanation.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			Just go back.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			Just imagine the pain of that,
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			of the frustration of the pain.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Like the level of sabr
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			that what what are the things over which
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			we lose sabr?
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			The flight's been delayed 3 hours.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			The AC is not working,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			Isn't it?
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			Hey. Who took the orange juice from the
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			fridge?
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			The stuff we lose sabr over.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			Those people's sabr is that must be a
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			different caliber of sabr that's being tested.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			And they didn't get there in a, you
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			know, in a business class seat or an
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			economy seat with extra leg room,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			and they didn't have a flight attendant giving
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			them peanuts
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			from 1987.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			They they didn't have any of that. They
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			went through the Hejazi desert. Have you taken
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			the road trip between Mecca and Medina? Have
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			you ever taken that road trip without air
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			conditioning in the car?
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			Have you ever walked that trip?
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			Have you ever tried 30 minutes of that
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11
			walk?
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			10 minutes of that walk?
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			What kind of walk would that be
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			under the
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			glaring sun
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			with animals
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			exhausted,
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:25
			carrying all your luggage. Nobody's carrying your luggage.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			You're not checking it in.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			Some of your luggage on the animal but
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			the animals can't carry everything. And then you
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			gotta push the pull the animal too. It's
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			not the car where you press the accelerator
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			to move. Sometimes the the the camel says,
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			I am moving. What you gonna do about
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:39
			it?
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			You know?
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:45
			And you're you're taking that trip and at
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			the end of it, you got turned back.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			Go back. And your prophet is saying, yeah,
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:50
			we're going back.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			Not to mention all the other emotional
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			like roller coasters they went through. And Allah
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			says, how has He described this situation where
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			they held on to their composure?
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			Al zamaahum
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			kali matat taqwa He committed them to the
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			word of taqwa.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			That is the word of taqwa. The word
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			of taqwa here is you're going to follow
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			your messenger whatever he says.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			That's the demonstration of taqwa. And kalima is
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:17
			the kalima means instruction also. The instruction of
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			taqwa like Allah committed them to it. They
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			were able to demonstrate restraint.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			And these were the people that were more
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			deserving of that word of taqwa and they
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			were more rightful of it.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			Which are synonyms in a sense.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			But the suggestion there is this is not
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			something easily given. This is a great honor
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			given to someone who truly deserves it in
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			the sight of Allah that they can have
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			that kind of composure.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			What we are learning is our ability to
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			restrain ourselves and to control our emotions and
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54
			not let our emotions dictate what we are
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			going to do
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			even for Islam.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			Even for Islam our emotions cannot dictate what
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			we do. That's izam karima tatakwa
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			and these are the people that deserve it.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:08
			So this is not an easily deserved title.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			This level of maturity is not easy to
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			acquire.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			And so he says,
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17
			and Allah had always known everything. Allah had
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			known all along this would happen. Allah had
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			known all along they'd be turned back. Allah
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			had known all along there was gonna be
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22
			frustration.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			All of this was designed by Allah.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			The same Allah
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:27
			who designated
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			the construction of the Kaaba in the middle
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			of a desert 1000 of years ago by
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:35
			Ibrahim alaihis salaam and commissioned for the perfect
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			timing of the coming of the the final
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			who would be the answer to the du'a
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:45
			of Ibrahim alaihi wa sallam also planned every
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			one of the sequence of these events. Allah
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			had known everything all along.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			And speaking of Allah knowing everything, the great
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			frustration of the Muslims was the Prophet shalallahu
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			alaihi wa sallam saw a dream that they're
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			going to make umrah. And they came to
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			make umrah and they didn't get to make
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:03
			no umrah.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			So Allah says, laqad sadakAllahu
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			rasoolahurruya
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			bilhaqq.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			Allah has spoken the truth to his messenger.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			The vision was real.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			The vision which So Allah was true to
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			his messenger with the vision that was given
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			to him with purpose and in reality. So
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			the dream was true.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			Now, the the prophet, you believe him and
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			even if Quran didn't come, you believe him.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			Right? We have iman and Allah,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			But Allah is adding to that
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			his own word.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			Now imagine for a moment even if this
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			ayah did not come,
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			weren't we already obligated to have iman in
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			in that dream?
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:42
			We were.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			So this is our iman was already there,
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			but there was an added reinforcement of iman.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:48
			Yes?
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			Now look at the language in the beginning
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			of the surah.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			Allah sends sakinah on the hearts of the
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			believers.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01
			So they can increase themselves in iman along
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04
			with their iman. So there's an iman and
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			there's an additional iman. There's the iman in
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			when he says I've seen a dream and
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			now on top of that there's an iman
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			in the ayah that Allah says that dream
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			is true.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			You are absolutely
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			going to enter the sacred Masjid
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:28
			Insha'Allah,
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:32
			if Allah were to will. Now, if Allah
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			were to will means
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			maybe, maybe not. Not for us, it means
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			maybe, maybe not. But that's not what it
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			means here. It actually means if Allah if
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44
			Allah wills here means, maybe it's not for
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:44
			you.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			The entrance will happen, maybe it won't be
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:47
			you.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			So you still depend on Allah's will in
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			the end.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			You're not entitled,
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			you're dependent.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			So Allah adds that insha'Allah.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			But He adds something new this time, amineen
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			in a state of peace. You remember Umratul
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			Qaba already happened. Umratul Qaba is when they
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07
			did do tawaf and
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			the idols were there. When the idols are
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			there, are the Muslims feeling even though they're
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			doing
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:16
			the umrah, are they feeling like this is
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			mission accomplished?
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			No.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			It's not. This masjid is the masjid built
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25
			by Ibrahim alaihis salaam is still being held
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			hostage by pagan idols.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:29
			So even though I'm getting to make tawaf,
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			it doesn't feel good.
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			And there's something missing.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			And it's right in front of my eyes.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			And every time they're doing tawaf, and they
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			pass by one of those statues, what are
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			they what are they imagining in their head?
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			What are they gonna break first?
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			That's what they're imagining in their head. Now
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			imagine when I told you that when the
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			the direction of prayer changed, didn't they know
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55
			that they're facing something that right now is
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			a is a pagan temple,
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			and they're facing it?
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			So didn't they know that the fact that
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:03
			the qiblah has changed
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:04
			necessarily
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			means that that qiblah has to be cleansed.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			You know one of the first things Allah
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:13
			told Ibrahim alaihis salaam when he told him
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			to build the to raise the Kaaba foundations.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			You know what he said? He said, wa
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			ahidna ilaibrahima
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			antahira
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			baitiya. We took a promise from Ibrahim alayhi
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			salaam and Ishmael alayhi salaam
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			that you will purify my house.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			You will purify
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:30
			my house.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			Now, we pray to purify ourselves.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			But before you purify yourself also
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			one of the objectives is you will purify
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			my house. Now Ibrahim alaihis salam built the
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			house with pure intentions and purified the house,
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45
			But generations later they contaminated the house. Didn't
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			they?
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50
			So when the Muslims heard that ayah after
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			the change of qiblah that Ibrahim was told
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			to purify the house, what's on everybody's mind?
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			We're gonna have to purify this house.
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			And even in Umrut Al Qaba the next
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			year, they're not in a state of amin.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:04
			They can't do as they please.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			And the Quraysh can back stab them now.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			By the way, when they're doing tawaf, they're
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10
			basically unarmed.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13
			Right? Those 2,000 that were doing tawaf in
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			Amrutul Khadah the year after Khudaybiyyah,
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			they're basically unarmed. So the the the Quraysh
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			could set up archers on top of their
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			houses, point them all at the Muslims,
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			and be done with it.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:28
			And it's not you can't it's not too
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29
			far fetched that they could do that.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			Desperate times call for desperate measures. Isn't it?
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:36
			Sometimes you have corrupt governments engage in,
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			civilian casualties of their own on their own
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			territory
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:42
			And then make it look like it was
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:43
			somebody else's fault.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:46
			Like they'll do an orchestrated
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			terrorist events.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:52
			Right? In some countries that have military rule
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:55
			and they're fighting for democracy,
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			Even nowadays, there's military rule, they're fighting for
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			democracy. Right?
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:03
			As soon as the the military let's just
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			say the military is very popular
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:05
			among the people.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:09
			But because of the democracy campaign, the military
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:09
			starts
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			declining in their popularity and now more people
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:13
			are saying, no, maybe we should have a
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			civilian government.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			You know what happens? Conveniently, a terrorist attack
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			happens.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			And the military comes in and has to
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			provide security and then, yeah, we really need
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:24
			the military.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27
			And if the military ratings are going down
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:27
			again,
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			what's coming up?
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			Some bomb blast is coming up somewhere.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			Some bus is gonna explode. Some some plane
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			is gonna crash. Something's gonna happen? Oh, now
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:39
			we need the military again. So So it's
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41
			not far fetched that the Quraysh could say,
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			hey, they were a security threat. They were
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:46
			gonna destroy all the idols. We didn't wanna
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:47
			offend all the other tribes. We looked for
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:50
			the greater good so we killed them all
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			in while they were doing their Tawaf, could
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53
			have happened. What I'm trying to say is
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			even though they made Tawaf
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			and by the way, interestingly,
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			some people started talking trash. They said, oh,
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:00
			these these,
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:04
			Muslims that went to migrated to Madinah, they
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			didn't have enough food, so they all starved.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			So they all got skinny and scrawny. Like,
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			you know, you get those, like, hostages or
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			people stranded on a boat, and they're, like,
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:12
			anemic,
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			and they got like their bones sticking out
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:17
			of their bodies, right? They're like this is
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			what they've become, this was the rumor spread.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23
			the Muslims when you're making tawaf, show your
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			shoulders
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			and say talbiyah loudly, show your muscle
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			and say Labayk Allahumma Labayk loudly
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:35
			and say your Takbiraat loudly, and march faster,
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			almost jogging,
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			almost jogging. Why? Because you wanna
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:45
			show these people This is not a state
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			of Aman. Even though the off is happening,
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			this is not a state of peace. Now
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:51
			let's listen to this ayah. Allah said, Allah
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			told His Messenger the dream was true. You
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:54
			will absolutely
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			enter al mashid al haram
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			in a complete state of peace,
		
00:37:59 --> 00:37:59
			amineen.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			So they have entered once,
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			sort of,
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:04
			safe.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06
			But now this promise is even bigger than
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			Umratunkaba.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			It's bigger than that.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			You are going to be shaving your heads
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:20
			and cutting your hair. You'll have both options.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27
			Now, before this ayah was revealed,
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			we know that most people shave their head
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31
			and some people were mad and they only
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:33
			cut their hair. And the Prophet
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:36
			made 3 times according to some narrations dua
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:36
			more for who?
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:39
			The ones who shave their head and because
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:41
			the ones who cut their head, you know
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			he they were they were complaining.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:44
			Right?
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:47
			Now Allah made even the ones who cut
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:48
			their hair not blameworthy
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51
			and He acknowledged them.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			Right. So they feel better now. Because even
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56
			if they were kind of forced to make
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:59
			dua, right. So, you know, Allahu Muhammadu Mukaseer,
		
00:38:59 --> 00:38:59
			you know,
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			so make sure
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			give rahma to
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			eventually. Right? So it's kind of like okay
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:09
			fine.
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:11
			But Allah Allah didn't make it like okay
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:14
			fine. Allah gave them a relief also by
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:14
			saying
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			So those Sahaba that cut their hair, didn't
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			shave their hair, now they feel relief also
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:23
			coming from Allah.
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:26
			So that reinforced their iman, gave them sakinah
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:26
			also.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			He then says, la taghafoon,
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			you are not going to be in a
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			state of fear.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			Allah has given you a promise, you will
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			absolutely enter the Mashil Haram
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			in a state of fear, and when he
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			says you're going to be shaving your head,
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			shaving the head is the last ritual. Right?
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			That means you will not be interrupted.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46
			All of your rituals will be completed and
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			you will get to shave your heads.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50
			And up until at that until that very
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			end there will be nothing to fear.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			Then Allah has always known what you will
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			what you never knew.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			Allah has known what you never knew. This
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			was a this was the grand plan from
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:02
			Allah.
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			This was designed. Hudaybiyah
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:07
			and the tragedy of Hudaybiyah was not an
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			accident. It was designed
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:11
			so this revelation could come. The most valuable
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			thing human beings have is the word of
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:13
			Allah.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			And Allah creates the situations
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:17
			for the word of Allah.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:19
			It's not the situations
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			caused the word of Allah to come down.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24
			No, the word of Allah
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:26
			was the cause for which Allah created the
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:27
			situation.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:31
			Human beings needed the Surah until judgment day.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			They needed the guidance from the Surah until
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:36
			judgment day. So Allah created the wuruf that
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:38
			will allow for this Surah to come. This
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:39
			is the eternal word of God.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			Right? But so so the world and its
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			reality was planned
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			the word of God, for the word of
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			Allah. In fact, all of the prophets of
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			Allah that have come before from Ibrahim alaihis
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			salam through the line of Isaac,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			meaning the Israelites all the way to Jesus,
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			all of that is pre planning for the
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:59
			coming of the Quran. All of it.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			It all just connects to the Quran at
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			the end.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05
			So he says,
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			He knew what you couldn't have known.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:13
			And other than that, Allah has given a
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			nearby victory also.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			This could be referring to a number of
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			things. It could be referring to the conquest
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			of Mecca, which is coming soon. It could
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			be referring to additional territories that are gonna
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			come in the hands of Muslims. It could
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			be referring to the the victory we're going
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:27
			to have for the first time against the
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:30
			Romans because actually the first engagement with the
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			Roman Empire, we suffered devastating
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35
			losses and the Muslims actually had to retreat
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			the first time. And this was within the
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			lifetime of the Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			famously known as the Battle of Muqtah. And
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			some of the most closest sahabah of the
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam were killed in
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:45
			that battle.
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			Right? So the Battle of Muqtah was very
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			serious and the Muslims did not actually achieve
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:51
			victory and the only reason they survived was
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:54
			Khaled ibn Walid was finally given charge even
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:55
			though he was a new Muslim at the
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:57
			time. He was given charge and he was
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			able to find a way to maneuver the
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00
			Muslims back without all of them being slaughtered
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:03
			because they were completely overrun in numbers.
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			But so the and then the second engagement
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:07
			with the Romans is going to happen at
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			Tabuk,
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			and that's when the the Romans themselves are
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			gonna refuse to engage.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			They're they're gonna they're gonna pull back.
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:18
			So so this this was a and I
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			want you to put things in perspective. The
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			Arabs militarily forget about Islam for a moment.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			The Arabs militarily
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:26
			against the Romans
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:27
			is like
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:29
			a rock against a tank.
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			That's what I want you to understand.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			There's there's no comparison.
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:36
			Those people have centuries
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:38
			of international
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:39
			combat experience.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			They've come they've conquered territories all over the
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:45
			world and learned the best military tactics and
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			practices
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:49
			of different civilizations from around the world.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:51
			They've been training their warriors from childhood
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			to be warriors.
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:56
			They have a hierarchy in their military that
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			is that is to this day,
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:59
			based on which
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:02
			militaries around the world to this day model
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			themselves after much of the structure and the
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:05
			hierarchy of the Roman militaries.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:09
			They're one of the most organized forces on
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10
			earth in its history.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:12
			Right? And the Muslims
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			have some camels
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:18
			and they have a few swords
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20
			And they have some they've had some fights
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21
			with each other.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:24
			That's that's what they've had. They're they're not
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:26
			this this is not a oh, the Muslims
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:28
			fought the Romans. It's not that simple.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31
			This is this is really not that simple,
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:32
			you know.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			This is this is like the the United
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:35
			States
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			versus like a small
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			village in,
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:40
			Mexico.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:43
			That that's that's what this is.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:46
			And so just just you're just putting that
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:47
			in perspective,
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:49
			I need you to understand like us fighting
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:52
			with the Quraysh was a sounds like a
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:52
			big deal.
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			But if the Roman generals were looking at
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:57
			what was happening in Makkah, I'm like,
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:58
			kids fighting.
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			Look, there's nothing for them.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:03
			We came with 313. I was like, What's
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05
			313? I got 313 soldiers in my backyard
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			doing my doing my lawn right now.
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:09
			313?
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:12
			These are your numbers?
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:16
			These numbers mean nothing for them.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18
			There's a different scale.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			It's a different scale of 1 of the
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:23
			largest empires on earth and we're about to
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			clash with them.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			We're actually about to clash with them. And
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:30
			Allah describes that clash. How does he describe
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			it? Well, in this surah He did describe
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			this as, ulibaasin shadeep.
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:36
			These are people you're soon going to come
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			into contact with them and they possess
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:41
			great might, great power of war.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			They have military strength.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:48
			You shall be fighting them, which is interesting.
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:49
			Allah didn't say they'll be fighting you. He
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			said you'll be fighting
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			them as if you're initiating.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:56
			It's as if you're the instigator.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			Oh, you snimoon or they will surrender.
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:02
			They will surrender.
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:04
			This is the description in the Quran.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			And you know, for the same sahaba who
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			could never have imagined that Makkah will be
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:09
			toppled,
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:11
			Quraysh will be toppled,
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			then now the Iman is built. Right? So
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			Allah
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:16
			gives one sign and that leads you to
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:17
			the next sign, to the next sign, and
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19
			to the next sign, isn't it?
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:22
			So he says the dream
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			was come was to come true and he
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:26
			made a victory that comes nearby,
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:28
			he already put that in place.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36
			Why is all of this conquest happening? Because
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:38
			He sent His mess He, Allah, is the
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			one the same Allah who made this dream
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			come true is the one who sent his
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:45
			messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with guidance and
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:47
			with the religion that gives justice,
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:48
			It's
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:51
			the religion of truth but alhaqq also means
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:52
			giving everybody their rights.
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55
			So religion that made sure that people get
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:57
			their rights. This is actually one of the
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:00
			most powerful descriptions of Islam, Deen al Haqq.
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			Because al Haqq means truth,
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:05
			al Haqq also means purpose,
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			which means this is a religion that gives
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			people purpose for living.
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11
			It makes their lives purposeful and meaningful.
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:16
			Then alhaqq also means right or justification.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:17
			So
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:22
			or it's deserving of me when you deserve
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			something. So women deserve a piece of the
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			inheritance,
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:28
			or men deserve the following rights, or a
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:30
			father deserves this, and a mother deserves that,
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:31
			and a brother deserves this,
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			You know? The neighbor deserves this. The business
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:37
			partner deserves this. The employee deserves this.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:39
			All of our
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			lives are actually based on transactions where we
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			must get what we deserve, and we must
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:45
			give what others deserve.
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			And Allah gave us a deen which ensures
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:52
			that we get and give what is deserved.
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:54
			And the expression for that is dinulhaq.
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:57
			So he sent
		
00:46:57 --> 00:47:00
			his Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with guidance
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:03
			which is our personal journey to Allah.
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:04
			So that's
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			my relationship with Allah is Alhuda.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:10
			My relationship with everybody else is what? Been
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:12
			Alhaqq.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			So you have fakuqullah and fakuqullayvaad.
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:17
			Bilhuda wadeenalhaqq.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:18
			Liuth
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			so it can overshadow,
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:22
			overcome,
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:23
			so it can overtake
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:26
			all of the other deen.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			This is actually the call of Allah that
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:32
			no other deen will be able to stand
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:34
			when you measure it against Islam when it
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:35
			comes to giving rights.
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:38
			When it comes to giving rights, nobody will
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:39
			stand.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41
			Nobody will have a chance.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:43
			I've repeated this a few times now, but
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:45
			I'll I'll mention it to you guys too.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			I was looking at one of the most
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:49
			common criticisms of Islam,
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52
			and Islamic law is the rights or the
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:53
			lack thereof,
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:56
			in regards to women. You're probably familiar with
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:58
			that. Islam is oppressive to women,
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			and Islam doesn't give women rights.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:04
			Women did not have any property rights in
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			the United States until very recently.
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:09
			Women did not have a right to get
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:12
			a divorce if they wanted to until 1970.
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:15
			They couldn't. They had to prove that the
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:17
			husband is cheating on them, and if they
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19
			couldn't prove it, they couldn't get a divorce.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:21
			By the way, if a woman wants a
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23
			divorce and she could just file for a
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:25
			divorce, it's called a no no fault divorce.
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:27
			Meaning, she has no issue, but she still
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:29
			just she doesn't wanna be with the guy.
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30
			She doesn't like his mustache
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:31
			or something.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:33
			That's why she wants it. That's fine. She
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35
			doesn't have to explain why she could just
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:36
			get a divorce. That's called a no fault
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:37
			divorce.
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:40
			The United States initiated no fault divorce in
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:41
			Reagan's era.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:43
			The British
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45
			the United Kingdom brought it about in 1969,
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:46
			the year before.
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:49
			And before then,
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:52
			neither men nor women could actually get a
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:53
			no fault divorce. You know when the Quran
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:56
			introduced and the Sunnah introduced no fault divorce
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:57
			from men and from women?
		
00:48:58 --> 00:48:59
			Since the beginning.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:02
			The entire Quran, the most the most talked
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:04
			about law is divorce, and there's there's no
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:05
			mention of which fault
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:09
			because the Quran is is justifying no fault
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:09
			divorce.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:10
			The
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			first divorce recorded from a woman who wanted
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:14
			a divorce,
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:15
			Badira,
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:17
			is a no fault divorce.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:20
			She came to the Prophet and said,
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			I got no problem with the guy. His
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:25
			character is great. His religion is great. The
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:25
			fairki?
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:27
			This ain't Punjabi.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:28
			Right?
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:30
			I got he got I got no problem
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:32
			with his religion. I got no problem with
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:33
			his character.
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35
			You didn't come and say, he's an abuser,
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:37
			he's a narcissist, he's toxic, He's bad for
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:38
			my mental health.
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:40
			Nothing.
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:41
			I got no problem with him.
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:43
			And then she says,
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:48
			Islam. But I'm afraid of kufr. I'm afraid
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			of disbelief after Islam.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:51
			And what she means by that is I'm
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:53
			not attracted to him, and I'm getting thoughts,
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:56
			and those thoughts are kufr because I'm married
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:57
			to him. I don't wanna do that to
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:58
			myself.
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			This
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			is
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:03
			if if she came to, some some religious
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:04
			person today
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:06
			and said, I want a divorce from my
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:07
			husband because I don't like him.
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:10
			Sabr.
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:12
			This duniya is about,
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:14
			you know, sabr, and we have to compromise.
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:15
			We have to
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:18
			I know a Muslim counselor. Oh, I think
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:19
			you need rukia.
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:21
			Oh, I think
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:23
			did the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam send
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			her give her counseling? Did he give her
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:25
			ruku? Did he
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:27
			tell her you should be ashamed of yourself?
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			What are you doing? You're breaking a family?
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:31
			You're destroying the home? What kind of woman
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			are you? What is wrong with you? You
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:34
			should seek Istighfar?
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:36
			No. He called her husband and said, hey,
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:37
			she doesn't like you. Let her go.
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			That sounds too liberal for some of you
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:43
			people.
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:45
			You're
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48
			far more Islamic than Islam.
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:50
			Right?
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:52
			Islam was liberating.
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			It was in in fact, it was liberating.
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:58
			What we've done in our cultures
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			is we have made things haram
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:03
			that were never haram,
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			and we have made things halal
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:08
			that were never halal.
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:12
			And we are more committed to our definition
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:13
			of haram
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:15
			and we're willing to make whatever Allah made
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:16
			halal haram
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:17
			openly.
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			And the things that Allah has made haram,
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23
			we are more committed to making them halal.
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:27
			Openly. Now it's not even just quietly in
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:30
			the openly making them halal. Openly.
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32
			We're even proud of it. And then we
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:34
			expect there will be no consequences on Muslim
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:35
			civilization.
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			We're not going to be humiliated,
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:38
			and subjugated, and overpowered
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:41
			because when the Israelites played with God's law,
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			buribat aalayhimudhillah
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:46
			walmaskana waba'ubiradhu bay min Allah. Humiliation was slapped
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:48
			on them, they were powerless
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:50
			and they kept receiving the rage from Allah.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:52
			That's when they used to play with Allah's
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:52
			laws.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:54
			And here we find ourselves
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:55
			multiple
		
00:51:56 --> 00:52:00
			as societies playing with Allah's laws and thinking
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:02
			there's not gonna be any consequences. It's one
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:03
			thing to be sinful. We're all sinful.
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:06
			We can make Istighfar for our sins. Nobody
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:08
			is an angel, but it's another to just
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:09
			openly defy Allah
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:12
			and make that into a cultural norm.
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:15
			To make that into a norm,
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:18
			it is unbelievable to me. It
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:20
			is quite remarkable.
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			Allah says, just to give you an example,
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:25
			Allah says that when you give your wife
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:25
			something,
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:27
			right?
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:29
			Don't take it back.
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:32
			Don't take anything back that you gave your
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:32
			wife,
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:34
			especially if you're getting separated,
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:37
			if you had given her something. And
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:42
			especially Mahr.
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:44
			The mehar that you give, married or if
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:46
			you're married or not married anymore, you cannot
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:47
			take a penny of the mehar back.
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:49
			If you give her a gold necklace for
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:50
			her mehar,
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:52
			can't take it back. You know what I
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:55
			found out in my beloved country of Pakistan?
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:56
			Pakistan
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:01
			You You know what they do? They'll give
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:02
			the girl a jewelry set
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:05
			and then they'll take pictures with it, and
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:07
			then the mother-in-law will come, no. This is
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:08
			for your sister in law's wedding.
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:12
			This was just for photos.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:16
			And they'll take it back or they'll say,
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:18
			no. You know, you're you're young. We'll hold
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:19
			it for you
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:23
			until judgment day.
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:28
			Long term savings
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:30
			collected in the asherah.
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:37
			Is this not openly, openly violating ayat of
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:37
			the Quran?
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:41
			And then they say, well, we should move
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:42
			to an Islamic country.
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46
			I mean, you're slamming it, but you're not
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:46
			Islamic.
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:50
			What? I don't know I don't know where
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:51
			the Islam is in that.
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:54
			The laws of Allah being played with openly
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:55
			in society and we say no no we
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:57
			don't have Sharia courts that's the real problem,
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:59
			we're not cutting enough hands.
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:01
			But that's that's the real issue.
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:04
			Lot of mockeries, SubhanAllah.
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:05
			Anyway,
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:08
			so Allah says, He sent His Messenger
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:11
			with guidance and the religion that provides everyone
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:13
			their rights, din al haqq. So it can
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:13
			overtake
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17
			on all other religion. This doesn't
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:20
			necessarily refer to * and maybe one day
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:20
			it does.
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:23
			But what it definitely refers to is the
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:24
			huja of Islam.
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			Nothing will ever compete with Islam in giving
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:27
			its rights.
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:31
			Nothing will ever stand before Islam. Allah did
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:33
			not for example, if you look at it,
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:36
			Islam didn't overcome Christianity. Christians are still a
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:38
			larger population than Muslims.
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:42
			Islam didn't overcome Hinduism because Allah says,
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:47
			So 1400 years, if you if you believe
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:48
			this ayat to mean all other religions will
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49
			be eliminated,
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:52
			then Islam for 1400 years is a failed
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53
			project.
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:55
			And you're hoping one day it will succeed.
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:57
			But until then we're all failed.
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:59
			No. That's not what this means. 1, it
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:02
			means in the region of Arabia, no other
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:03
			religion will remain.
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06
			In the land that was meant for the
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:07
			worship of 1 God alone,
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:11
			designated by Ibrahim alaihis salaam, no other religion
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:11
			will remain.
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			And by extension,
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:15
			no other religion will be able to make
		
00:55:15 --> 00:55:17
			a case against Islam. Nobody
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:20
			nobody will have an ideological chance against Islam.
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:23
			Christian doctrine will not stand a chance against
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:24
			Muslim doctrine.
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:27
			The Quran's arguments will not be overrun by
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:28
			Hinduism.
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:31
			Hindus in droves will accept Islam. Christians in
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:33
			droves will accept Islam. Muslims are not going
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:35
			to go into 1,000,000 and 1,000,000
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:37
			and accept Christianity. That's not going down. It's
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:38
			not the other way around.
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			And Allah is enough as a witness.
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:44
			This
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:46
			this was a guarantee that the deen was
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:47
			going to be victorious.
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:49
			And from then on, the deen was going
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:52
			to spread. And its its its its evidence
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:54
			was going to spread all over the earth.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:56
			Now, before I InshaAllah, we'll take the next
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:58
			session to talk about,
		
00:55:58 --> 00:55:59
			the last ayah of the Surah.
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:02
			Just a quick comment about the nadham of
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:04
			the Surah, the beauty and the sequence and
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:07
			the organization of the Surah. In my previous
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:09
			lectures, I described this as having 11 sections,
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:11
			the Surah having 11 sections. I won't talk
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:13
			to you about the 11 sections, but I
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:14
			will talk to you about the first section,
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:17
			the middle section and the last section
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:20
			the first section of this surah mentioned forgiveness
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:22
			Allah has given you a victory so that
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:23
			he may forgive
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:27
			The last section of the surah, if you
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:28
			look at the last ayah,
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:35
			Allah will mention forgiveness at the end of
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:37
			the surah. And the middle ayah of this
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:38
			surah
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:39
			is Allah says,
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:47
			Allah mentions forgiveness in the middle of the
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:47
			surah.
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:50
			So he mentions forgiveness in the beginning, he
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:52
			mentions forgiveness in the middle, and he mentions
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:54
			forgiveness in the end of the surah. Why
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:56
			is that why is that tied to the
		
00:56:56 --> 00:56:58
			subject matter of the surah? Because the only
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:00
			reason you go to Hajj,
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:03
			the reason people should come before Allah and
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:03
			say
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:07
			is because they're preparing for judgment day where
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:08
			they're supposed to get forgiven.
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:10
			They're trying to get forgiven.
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:12
			Don't forget the larger objective. There's a there's
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:14
			a worldly objective of conquest,
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:18
			but there's a much larger spiritual objective which
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20
			is forgiveness. So the Surah begins,
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:24
			centers and concludes with the larger objective which
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:25
			is
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:28
			forgiveness. Right? So inshallah after a break I'm
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:30
			gonna share with you guys, some things about
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:31
			the last ayah of this surah.
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:38
			Alhamdulillkum everyone. There are almost 50,000 students around
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:40
			the world that are interested on top of
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:42
			the students we have in studying the Quran
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:44
			and its meanings and being able to learn
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:46
			that and share that with family and friends,
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:48
			and they need sponsorships, which is not very
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:50
			expensive. So if you can help sponsor students
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:52
			on Bayinah TV, please do so and visit
		
00:57:52 --> 00:57:54
			our sponsorship page. I appreciate it so much.
		
00:57:54 --> 00:57:56
			And pray that Allah gives our mission success,
		
00:57:56 --> 00:57:57
			and we're able to share the meanings of
		
00:57:57 --> 00:57:59
			the Quran and the beauty of it the
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:00
			world over.
