			sulamani from Florida cats with your brothers and sisters, welcome back to people of Poland, where
every night I share with you a story about how one of our pious predecessors interacted with the
poor. And now had a lot you might have noticed from the title of the video that you know this one is
going to go through a transition. And this shows you some how the court can inspire multiple people
over the course of history that can really lead them to beautiful things, Yusuf alayhi salam, as we
know and sort of uses and this is verse 92, that when Yusuf Alayhi Salam saw his brothers after all
those years, despite the oppression that they that they'd committed against him, despite the fact
		
00:00:37 --> 00:01:14
			that use of it his Salaam now was in the position where he was a king. I mean, he could have done
whatever he wanted with his brothers when they were in front of them. They were in need, they were
in despair, they were vulnerable and use of it his Salaam had all the power in the world. But when
used finally his Salaam saw his brothers in front of in front of him use of honey, his salon said
letter three, but equally on your local Warhammer. rochman he says that there is no blame upon you
today. You know, don't worry about it. May Allah forgive you. And Allah is the most merciful, of the
Merciful. And so how about that taught us a legacy or that gave us a legacy of compassion and mercy
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:51
			to those that harm us to those that don't show us that same level of compassion, mercy to really
show the victories, we had a lot of wilhelma forbearance, that that comes from our profits, we see
then in the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam entered into Mecca, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is coming and so how Allah I
mean, these are this is the land that he was run out of this is his hometown. And there are people
there that have killed the family members of the Prophet slicin them and then have subjected him to
oppression for 20 plus years, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he chooses to ride into
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:34
			Mecca. And this is the greatest testimony of the mercy of Islam and the compassion of Our Messengers
like Selim, with his nose touching the back of his animal, and with the Prophet sallallahu wasallam,
calling out with the same words the verse from pseudo uses lots of three barley camileo there is no
blame upon you today. May Allah forgive you and He is the Most Merciful of those who have mercy. And
also la sigh Salaam starts to call out that whoever enters into this house is safe and whoever is
here is safe. And the prophets lie Selim guarantees the people of Mecca absolute safety. Now let's
fast forward over 500 years later, and the date is March 4 1193. The equivalent of that day and
		
00:02:34 --> 00:03:14
			hingedly years is Friday, Yama, Yama, the best day the 27th of Raja 583 83 years after Hitler.
That's kind of what makes the 27th of Rajab significant. No, I'm not sanctioning any forms of acts
of worship or things of that sort of that night. But historically speaking, it could or could not,
it could or could have been or could or could not have been the night of an assault and medwatch the
night when the prophets license ascended from Jerusalem to the heavens, obviously we have popular
narrations of that none of them you know are historically you know, completely sound but still it's
significant that on this night, salaam Deen Rahim Allah to Allah Allah, you will be standing on the
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:52
			outskirts about to enter Jerusalem. He's about to bring Jerusalem back to the Muslims after it's
been ravaged by the Crusaders. And as Salahuddin is standing there, you know, Salahuddin Rahim Allah
Tada. He was known for his compassion he was known for his mercy. He was known for his nobility and
that's something that writers throughout history whether they were Muslim or not have had to
acknowledge. So I had been writing lots of to Allah He sends a letter to to the king he sends a
letter to gi Julissa, neon, and Geeta Lisa neon, who is the ruler of that time the king at that
time, he was afraid that Salahuddin was going to kill him Why? Because the Crusaders have done all
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:28
			types of things. And Salahuddin did, in fact, you know, kill raynolds and the reason why he killed
reynald is because reynald you know, massacred many, many innocent people. Reynaldo was someone that
could not be trusted. He tried to even confiscate the body of the Prophet slice of them. I mean, he
was a very nasty man. So, you know, he was afraid. So Salahuddin sent him a message and he reassured
him, and he said, it's not the desire of Kings to kill kings, he said, but that had transgressed all
bounds, and therefore I had to treat him as a special case meaning what I'm not going to do to you
what was done to raynald I'm not going to kill you, you're safe. And Salahuddin Rahim Allah to
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:59
			Allah, reassures gdd, Sanjana young that you know that you're going to be protected that your people
will be free. And the Crusaders had carried out an attack on the Muslims. They sent letters to the
Muslims in the past, particularly in Ottawa, and modern day Syria. They sent a letter saying that,
you know, you're safe, we're not going to do anything. Once they got in the city. They they
completely destroyed it. And they they massacred all the innocent Muslims. So it's ladina saying
we're not going to do that. And so Pamela, once the law had been enters into Jerusalem on that
glorious
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			Night salaah had been rocking lots out according to. According to the narrator his biography was a
dud. He says this a lot had been Rahim Allah, Allah was repeating the same over and over and over
again. So Pamela, that's a three value comedy. Oh, there is no blame upon you today, remembering use
of Halle history and remembering the way the prophets lie, some conquered Mecca, remembering that
grace in that compassion. Now on the other side, you know, the many of the women of the Christians
at that time that were under the protection of the Crusaders, a lot of them shave their heads and
actually mutilated themselves because they were afraid that the Muslim warriors were going to do to
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:10
			them with the Crusaders did to the Muslim women, they thought that you know, they were going to be
raped. They thought that the terrible things were going to happen to them. Some of them somehow even
committed suicide. Some of them killed their own children thinking that the Muslims were going to
take their children as slaves. But Salahuddin enters into Jerusalem with such grace and he lets you
know Subhana Allah, He frees the people. Not only does he free the people, you know, he sets a
ransom on the warriors. And you know, some of the Christian leaders they complain they said the
ransom is too high. So he decreased they said it's still too high he decreased it again and he
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:47
			decreased it a third time to where it was just a matter of Penny so Pamela he freed the warriors. He
invited the Jews who are run out of the city back into the city the first thing he does to the king
to the leader of the Crusaders is he gives them an ice cold water so how to LA no poison or
anything, you know, to comfort him and to put him at ease. And Salahuddin Rahim Allah you see this
even this great respect, even for religious tradition, realize the Crusaders when they entered into
Jerusalem, they put across on top of the messages. They filled it with with the blood of the
innocent Salahuddin Rahim Allah to Allah, He collects the relics of the Christians for crosses in
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:25
			particular, and he puts them into these chests for chests, all of their relics and all of their holy
things. And he gives it to them, he presents it to them and says, We have no interest in this and
panela he doesn't harm them. He doesn't break those relics, but instead he shows them absolute
mercy. And he shows them that compassion and this victory was a great victory for Islam not just
because it was it was a conqueror conquering Jerusalem know what's a lot of de Mola tada showed us
is what a big heart can do the legacy of compassion and the legacy of benevolence that we have from
use of it his salon and from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And one more very cool fact.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:08:00
			Did you know that a lot of Dean's name is actually not solokha Dean? Salahuddin is a law club it's a
nickname, right which means the righteousness of the faith so law Dean's name is actually uses
subpanel law so he's carrying the legacy of the one that he was named after use of it. He slapped We
ask Allah subhana wa tada to grant us that same level of compassion, that forgiveness and that
benevolence and to make our hearts bigger than those of our enemies. And to make us better than our
enemies We ask Allah subhana wa tada to grant us righteousness and to grant us the best of this
world in the next alumni mean inshallah tada I will see you all next time when people have called
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
