Omar Suleiman – Meeting Muhammad PBUH #21 – When He Lost His Child

			It was one thing to see the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam hungry and in poverty, it was
another thing to see him human and in pain. If you live in that society, he is your Superman. So the
law when he was selling, it's uncomfortable, to see the profit slice of them in grief. And there's a
difference between the crying that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam has in his salah and his prayer,
and in his remembrance, and the crying that he has with tragedy sallallahu it he was settled on when
it strikes his own home.
		

			Many times when we talk about the death of the prophets license children, we just mentioned that he
buried six out of seven sallallahu wasallam. And we tend to group them all in together. And of
course, every single death of every child of the profit slice and I'm stung him. But Ibrahim was a
very, very different death, because the circumstances of his life were so different. This is when
the Prophet sallallahu wasallam was about to die himself. It his Salatu was Salam. And he's over 20
years after the last child before his birth, so fathima while the Allahu tada Anna is the last child
before Ibrahim, and the rest of them have all passed away the Prophet size M has lost all five of
		

			them. His two other sons died when they were little, and his three other daughters live to be adults
and get married and the prophets lie some buried them all. And faulty model the allowance Hannah and
Her is, of course, a married woman now and she has her own children, and her children are like
children to the profit slice alum. And then Allah blesses the Prophet sallallahu wasallam with his
first son in Islam, and it seems to come at a time when the prophets lie some is about to depart
from this world. And so there is so much that is tied to this child. Think about the joy of the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam for the first time, having a son with all of the rituals of Islam, and
		

			it's at this point in his life, so Allah who I knew he was Salaam, and he's able to take his son,
his only son in Islam, and perform the advan in his ears, and to do the technique of his own son
sallallahu wasallam after he's done that for so many other children, and to perform the apisa for
his own son sallallahu wasallam after he's done that for so many other people's sons and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam would take Ibrahim his son with such pride and he would say to the people
look at the Rasul Allah who novia come whether the was a maid to who either abhi Ibrahim, look, oh
people, Allah has blessed your prophet with a son. And I named him after my father Ibrahim, think
		

			about that Subhana Allah think about being in the masjid when the Prophet slice alum is holding
Ibrahim for the first time attending the paper, the prophet slice alum bringing him around and the
Prophet slicin them clearly had an attachment to this child. So he used to visit him daily when he
was with his Westerners. He used to take him with him sallallahu wasallam, when he would visit the
homes of his spouses, he would bring him to the masjid salallahu alayhi wasallam. He used to always
go out to see him when he was with his wepner. So it was known that the prophets lie some had an
excitement to go and see his own son, Ibrahim now, after all of these years, his own son sallallahu
		

			wasallam. That seems to be the one son that's going to survive him after his death. And then Anissa
dramatical, the Allahu taala. And who speaks about what happened Ibrahim was about 16 months old. So
he's not a little baby in the sense that at 16 months old, the baby has a personality. You have that
connection to that baby, and and a symptomatic of the law and who describes the scene when the
messenger comes to the messenger sallallahu wasallam from the house of his wetness says you're still
alive. Brahim Ibrahim is really sick. And it looks like he's about to die. And the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam drops what he's doing. And he goes with his companions to the home of the wetness.
		

			And the husband of the wet nurse was a man by the name of Abu safe and he was a blacksmith. So the
profit slice some goes to him and he asks for permission to enter. And he takes Ibrahim
		

			and the profit slice alum who has held this baby and showed him to all of us like a proud father
would and who loves this baby so much and now is seeing him dying the profit slice I'm cabella, who
was Shambo Anasazi, Atlanta, and he says that he held him Salalah. Hardy was the alum. He kissed him
and he started to smell his hair. And as he's holding him sallallahu wasallam. The Sahaba are just
looking on at him. You're looking at him holding his son and this is the most human and vulnerable
moment that you're going to see your Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Ibrahim starts to breathe
harder and slower and uninstall the Allahu taala and he says in the arms of
		

			messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his soul left his body, in the arms of the messenger salallahu
alayhi wa sallam, how difficult is it for a father to hold their own child and their child breathed
their last in their arms and your profit as a heart full of love and mercy. So the profits license
starts to weep
		

			of the amount of growth while the Allahu anhu he looks at the profits, I sell them. And he says,
What NTR Salalah you to O Messenger of Allah. And he wasn't saying that with cruelty. It's not like
the man who who said that to the Prophet slice on when he was kissing of Hassan when he was saying,
and he was saying it from a point of arrogance. It's from a place of of admiration and yada sort of
like you cry too. We're not used to seeing you this way. We're not used to seeing the Prophet slice
and I'm break down we're not used to seeing the Prophet slice and and weep in such a fashion over
his child. We see this from other people, and also Los Alamos he's holding his son who has now
		

			passed away in his hands. And the Prophet slice alum looks at him and he says, You have no old son
of oath. It's Rama. It's mercy that Allah puts in the heart Allah put this mercy in my heart, I
can't help myself, right. I love this child. And and so the Allahu anhu said the prophets license
started to weep more, and we were staring at the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and of course they were
crying with him. How would you not if you're sitting with the Prophet slice, I'm holding his dead
son at that point. And the Prophet slice and I'm said in an aina, Ted the map when called bison,
what ernakulum illa mejor de la we're in a beefy rocky for yo Ibrahim that has gone on the masculine
		

			one. The eyes are shedding tears, the heart feel sadness, and we don't say except that which is
pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala we're in a beefy rockliffe Brahim, the magazine or in the
magazine on and we are sad Oh, Ibrahim over your departure. We are sad Oh, Ibrahim over your
departure. We are sad Oh Ibrahim over your departure we're grieving over your loss, oh, Ibrahim, and
the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. Who got to enjoy this one son in Islam, this one child in Islam, in
fact that he got to do the rituals of Islam with now he has to do the rituals of Islam with this
child in terms of his janazah he has to wash him sallallahu wasallam he has to shout him sallallahu
		

			alayhi wa sallam, he places him in the grave himself. So the Lahore it was some of them. And he
leads his janazah.
		

			Now if you live in Medina at the time, because you've probably heard this Hadeeth about the eclipse
a few times.
		

			The Eclipse happens, a solar eclipse happens on the same day, the Prophet slicin on Sundays, Ibrahim
died that day. And they looked up and the sun eclipsed the moon, how would you not think that
there's some connection between the two. And you have seen the grief of the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam in a way that you've never seen before. It's a unique type of grief that the Prophet slice
alum is facing. So of course, the Sahaba they started to say that the sun eclipsed for the death of
Ibrahim, and that's why we're seeing this this phenomenon happen. Of course, it happens on the same
day. And the Prophet sallallahu wasallam comes out and he leads the prayer of kosuth he leads the
		

			eclipse prayer sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and it's so long that you would think behind him
sallallahu I use them because of the length of his Salah during that Eclipse, and the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam Of course, you can imagine his doodads and where his heart is in those moments,
but even then, he still our teacher sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he teaches us how to grieve it his
salatu salam to cry like a human being to have that softness of the heart, but at the same time to
make sure that you don't say anything that's displeasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And even then
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stands up and he says, the sun and the moon are two I art
		

			there are two signs of the signs of Allah. They don't Eclipse for the death of anyone, nor do they
Eclipse for the birth of anyone. So when you see these eclipses, then make dua to Allah subhanho wa
Taala and pray and give sadaqa Subhana Allah Even then, the Prophet slicin was teaching with his
actions, and with his words, and if you feel pain, know that your prophet felt pain sallallahu
wasallam and if you cry, know that your prophet cried as well, but also know that your prophet set
the example sallallahu alayhi wa sallam of patients, and even in the hardest moment of his life, the
only thing that was coming out of here wasn't hamdulillah and that's what was in his heart as well.
		

			So
		

			he
		

			Solo
		

			Solo.
