			Well here it is. saddam says lobby heavily Masada hain Allah says that we granted him is half an
Yaqoob. But we all know of course that there is a special sun that would be given to him first and
that was his marine and he his Salah. As a Brahim or Islam is in Palestine with Hajj of an estimate
Allah gives him the command to settle them in Mecca in this barren desert.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:01:22
			you'll actually find in urban cafes and in fact Halle Berry that the scholar has mentioned that
Ibrahim alayhis salam took her Jalan Ismail on the buraq on the same animal that would one day bring
the Prophet slicin from Mecca to Jerusalem. You have Ibrahim alayhis salaam, taking how john is
married to this barren desert in Mecca from Palestine. And as he settles them we know that this is
very painful for Ibrahim it is Salaam to walk away from how just this incredibly beautiful righteous
woman who supported him and who demonstrates such faith and his first son and his only son is
married it his Salaam in those moments, and as Ibrahim alayhis salam is walking away from them we
		
00:01:22 --> 00:02:02
			know that how john asks Ibrahim or Islam, what he's doing, why he's doing this and she comes to the
conclusion was it a lot that commanded you to do this one Ibrahim It is time says yes he says that
Allah subhana wa tada will not lose sight of us Allah will not let us go to waste we will be
protected. So just like Ibrahim said, haspin allow an airman Joaquin. As he was thrown into that
fire. Hajj, expressed the same sentiment as she was left with her child in Mecca. So here they are
now in Mecca and Ibrahim on Islam makes several drafts for his family in Mecca and from Mecca as a
whole. And so you'll find for example, where Ibrahim is some says Ravi Jain had better than Amina
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			and where Ibrahim is some says a little bit
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:49
			better than Amina sounds very similar, with the exception of ballad the first one refers to Ibrahim
is nominee says have better than Amina Oh Allah make this a secure place instead of L ballad is
because Mecca still is not defined. It's still a barren desert. The second time where Ibrahim
Harrison says a lot which I'll have al Balad Amina, he's praying for a defined city on the ballot.
So he's coming to Mecca later on and praying for it in those moments. But let's start with the first
door app when it's still just a barren desert Ibrahim it Sam says I'll be in the skin to Maria TB
word inquiry. These are in Enderby tickle. moharram Oh my Lord, I have made some of my offspring to
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:31
			settle in this barren Valley and debate tickle mahalo near your sacred house. Now. The house has
still not been built, but the Brahim it has Salaam knows that this is the location and a loss of
hundreds I would later command him to raise the foundations of it. But I've left them here in this
barren desert. Why are benhaddou Kamal Sana Oh Allah so that they may establish the prayer. I didn't
bring them here for anything but for them to establish the prayer fetch if he that's I mean,
unnecessary necesita de la him. And so cause some of the hearts of the people, some of the people
not all of the people mean on us. Let's some of the people's hearts affectionately inclined towards
		
00:03:31 --> 00:04:14
			them. What is a comida, Marathi, La La Jolla, Sharon and provide for them fruits for their
sustenance so that they may be grateful to you. So let's start with this part lady. These are a lot
this is a barren desert. And there's a benefit to that. What brought who and saw what brought Moosa
and Eunice what would then bring Mohammed Saleh and he was selling them. And in the end of times, or
Isa is around to this barren Valley, what brings the hearts of the prophets and the hearts of the
believers that follow those profits to this valley. This is not a place that has lush gardens or
beautiful beaches. This is a barren desert. And why is it this location that Allah chosen Mecca so
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:53
			that no one would come to this place except that they're seeking a loss of hands out there is no
other reason no offense to the people of Mecca here. No other reason that a person would go to Mecca
except for this one I'm except for this sacred place that Allah subhanaw taala has set up so that we
may establish our worship of him. Scholars also mentioned he said meanness, not enough some of the
people, because if Ibrahim is not would have said, Let all of the hearts of all of the people
affectionately inclined towards them, then it would have been too crowded you would have had
everyone come towards them. But Ibrahim alayhis salaam once a special type of people to incline
		
00:04:53 --> 00:05:00
			towards them, so it's not about the quantity of the people. It's about the quality of the people and
he's talking about
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			About the strong desire for Hajj so it's not to LA him that they would have that strong affection,
necessarily out of love for his family, but to love them and settle in their presence due to that
love of Allah subhanho wa Taala that the hearts of the followers of Ibrahim it has set up, would
incline towards that place for all times that they would desire so greatly to be in that place. What
is the colombina thumb allottee and I love him he has grown. And then he said And grant them provide
for them sustenance so that they may be grateful to you. This is similar to how one Ibrahim is not
in the prophets asked for offspring. They don't just ask for offspring for the sake of offspring.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:19
			They asked for offspring so that their offspring can work acts of good and gratitude to Allah
subhana wa Tada. And here when they pray for their offspring, once they have them Ibrahim is now
missing provide for them so that they may be grateful to you. So don't just provide for them No, so
that it can drive them to a place of sugar, a place of gratitude, where they will act in gratitude,
they will work in gratitude, they will do things that are pleasing to you Oh Allah, as they
establish their prayer, which is the ultimate manifestation of gratitude to Allah subhana wa Tada.
Finally, when Ibrahim or Islam says here, and in the other day, I'll be Jad had the labella the
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:57
			Amina Oh Allah make this a secure place. You see the vegetation is there already. Even though Mecca
is a barren Valley even though it doesn't produce fruits or vegetables, there's always fruit and
vegetable in Mecca. And now you've even got Hardee's and McDonald's to read but there's always
fruits and vegetable in Mecca even though it's a barren desert. Why? Because of either tamina
necesito la him because of the amount of traffic in Mecca. Through the dirt out of the Brahim is not
there's always going to be fruits and vegetables there. But then when he makes the art for security
to make it a secure place. This is something really beautiful because Allah subhana wa tada reminds
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:38
			oration, particularly if you're courageous enough to him relative schita, you will save 30 yard with
a rock behind, they'll beat a lily Obama home in Jordan Manor home and have a lot of reminds them of
the favors that He has given to them. And he reminds them of what he has provided to them of food
and vegetation. And he also reminds them of how he has provided them security, some kind of hotel
and that was through the drought of Ebola he might he set up on some of the scholars they mentioned
here that what this shows you and the message to Qureshi in particular as they're trying to run a
profit out from amongst them, and they're persecuting the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:17
			wasallam. It's a reminder that all the goodness that you have right now is because of the death of
another prophet, the supplication of another prophet, who is the great great grandfather of this
prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. And if you run this prophet out, then you will run away the
goodness that you have as well. So it was the presence of a prophets that brought you this good, the
do out of a prophet that brought you this good. And if you persecute a prophet, then you would have
to do out of that profit, not in your favor, and instead you would experience bad and so Allah
subhanaw taala reminds us that all that you see in Mecca, all that you see in Mecca, is from the do
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:37
			out of of all humanity has Salaam when he called upon the last panel data in those moments and so as
you're seeing those images, imagine Ibrahim saddling his wife harder, and a son Ismail in that
barren desert and saying Allah home and then imagine everything that popped out and sprouted from
that until today and until the Day of Judgment
