00:00:00 --> 00:00:30
			For the council, and with our seminary administrators of origins now Rahim Allah Haman Hamdi now
he'll be the enemy whatever the one in a lot I mean what are our people to didn't watch again a
llama Saudi was telling him about a karate kata Seleka Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam, right
early he was going to send them to see him in cathedra so tonight your brothers and sisters we go
into the story of a Sahabi who Subhanallah it's very hard to condense the story because there's so
much history that comes through this one Companion of the prophets of Allah who it was
		
00:00:31 --> 00:01:10
			and the way I want to set the stage for you is like Abdullah and Ibis all the a lot of times in
Houma when he describes coming across this man said man and father seemed to get louder and more, if
not vastly louder. And who of course was a young man and we will one day unpack his biography in
full inshallah Tada soon, who was a young man when he finally got to be with the prophets of Allah
Harney, who was somewhere between the age of 10 and 13. So you have to kind of see the world through
his eyes. He comes into Medina and he's seeing this new reality that he's only heard about in Mecca,
about his cousin was sort of loss of Allah when he was Saddam and he wants to soak it all up. And
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:58
			there is a very peculiar person that walks around Medina, with such stature with such Haber, you
know, people are in such awe of him. He goes inside the house of the prophets lie some frequently,
when people see him there's a clear distinction that this man has an he's a Persian and the Persians
and the Arabs had a cultural dislike for each other. And so I'm loving my vassal, the Allah Tada
Angela is very curious about Salam o the Allah Tada and who is this man and what his his story And
subhanAllah we have in the book of the virtues of the unsolved philosophy on sod. in Sahih al
Bukhari, the Hadith that is narrated from Abdullah, bustle the Allahu Taala and OMA the story of the
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:45
			Islam of Salman and Pharisee. Imagine this 13 year old sitting with a 63 year old because he was the
same age as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and saying, How did you end up here? And who are
you and what is your story on Salam, O Allah Tada, and who gives him this long story of how he ends
up in the presence of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam in El Medina with such distinction and
with such greatness, so imagine yourself and Medina, a young man sitting with his elder and saying,
Tell me your story. And he starts to unload this entire history of the Roman and the Persian Empire,
of versions of Christianity that they did not even know exists, and of the multiple languages that
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:28
			he knew and the multiple hurdles that he had to jump through to get to the prophets of Allah. Arnie
was salam in El Medina. So let's start just briefly and of course, I've taught a much much much
longer course on some manifesting all the aligners, so I'm gonna condense it into two parts.
Inshallah, this week and next week, just briefly, what is the history of the Persian and the Roman
Empire as it relates to the story of sentiment and fantasy? Well, the Allahu Taala on number one,
the Persian Empire followed what religion what was the religion of the Persian Empire, or religion
called Zoroastrianism and Medusa when you read it within our books, okay. And they are marked by the
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			adoration and worship surrounding fire.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:04:15
			And subhanAllah. When you look at the Romans and their attachment to Christianity, at the time, a
very particular type of Christianity back then when you say the Medusa or you say, the Persians, or
you say, the Christians or you say the Romans, those things are interchangeable, because religion is
heavily associated with those two empires. If you are a Roman, the assumption is you belong to the
Christian empire, if you are a Persian, or if you are a Zoroastrian, you belong to the Persian
Empire. These two empires had the longest war in history, over 700 years, that only ended in the
time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and was predicted in its collapse in surah. Rome,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:59
			you imagine 720 plus years. To give you some perspective, that times two is the time between us and
the prophets of Allah Hardy was salam. Imagine two empires fighting for that long with no pause
between them. And it's going to end and the time of Islam and the time of the Prophet salAllahu
alayhi wasallam, with both empires being defeated by the Muslims, so it's, it's an interesting
world, religion and politics are very much so intertwined. And this is the state religion, if you
will have the Persian Empire, Zoroastrianism in the state religion of the Roman Empire being a very
particular type of Christianity that was formalized under Constantine, and these two empires are at
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			war and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:43
			when everybody else is an observer, everyone else is an observer with their loyalties to one of the
two empires. Salaam will the Allahu Taala anvil is growing up in the home of the high priest of his
religion. Okay, he's growing up in the home of the high priest of his religion to give you some
context of how important this role was. If you look up the currencies of the Persian Empire at the
time, you'll find that some of the coins did not have the picture of kisana of the ruler of the
Persian Empire, but instead of the priests around the fire, and so people used to come around this
fire, they used to worship and said, Man will the allowance and who is going to grow up in the home
		
00:05:43 --> 00:06:27
			of the high priest and the leader of his people around this fire, and somehow find himself in
Medina, next to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So he talks about an unlikely journey. This
is the most unlikely journey from all of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
that we have covered. Now, it's also important to understand that the Christianity that existed in
Persia at the time, because there was a Christianity in Persia at the time, was a smaller form of
Christianity, but definitely one that was closer, closer to the way of East Artesia to the way of
Jesus peace be upon him. It was a more orthodox, less politicized form of Christianity, a small
		
00:06:27 --> 00:07:14
			pocket of Christian worshipers. And in fact, if you if you look up in Persia, the Assyrian Church of
Mark Medina of St. Mary is considered by some historians to be the second church in the history of
Christianity after Bethlehem. You read about the Persian followers of Christ, the the early Persian
followers of Christianity, so they maintain their presence, but they don't have any political power.
But they're also not subjected to the formalized Christianity of the Western Church under the Roman
Empire. And so without getting too deep into history, the Council of Nicaea, which is which takes
place in the year 325, after Sid has set up the Council of Nicaea is where the Nicene Creed the
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:59
			Roman church formalizes the Trinity and formalizes many new dictates and Christianity and
essentially outlaws all other forms of Christianity. So the debates over the Saudi Salaam and who he
was and whether it's three in one or one, or whether it is father and son, or whether Jesus is fully
human, or both fully human, and fully God, all of these debates are supposed to end. And many
practices are instituted in the Council of Nicaea that are supposed to become mainstream, and the
only acceptable version and understanding of a Saudi tsunami of Christianity at that point, the
Persian Christians, maintaining their small worship outside of the rule of the Roman Empire, they
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:46
			worship in peace, they worship quietly, and they maintain many of the early forms of athey, the the
early creed of Christianity at the time, and many of the early forms of worship that you would not
find except underground and hidden in the Roman Empire. So we go to the story of cinnamon on the
Allahu Taala anvil, and how he enters into this particular type of agreements and arrangements that
sees him to where he is the name of Sal Manuel the Allahu taala. And according to most of the books
was ruse Bei, the son of marzban rosebay, the son of marzban. Now there is a debate over whether his
name was Salman before or after snap. And some of the scholars they say it was Salman, which denotes
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:28
			being easygoing and obedient because he submitted Himself to Allah subhanaw taala. Some of them say
this actually is a description of the type of child that he was with his father. His father was the
leader of his people in us behind in modern day Iran and Persia, and he is the high priest, the fire
is literally in his home. So he lives in a palace the fire is in his home, and Salman or the
alongside and who is growing up blinded to the world around him literally does not leave home,
taking care of this fire and being raised to essentially be the successor of his father. Now the
premise of Zoroastrianism is that the fire can never go out. So this has to go on and on and on and
		
00:09:28 --> 00:10:00
			on. And they didn't have fire alarms at the time. Okay, so it's in his house all the time. 24/7 you
have to watch the fire and cater to it. And so not only Allah Tada, and who was growing up around
this fire rosebay, the son of marzban. Now he says that my father was not just the leader of our
people, and the Chief of our people, but my father loved me deeply. So so not only Allah Tada and
who was loved by his father, and he said he loved me so much have the Sunday telogen
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:38
			idea that he held me like a slave girl in the home. never lets me go I was like one who was
enslaved, I could never leave my house. And you talk about another level of sheltering. My father
kept me right there next to the fire throughout and I was provided for we had servants in the house,
we had everything that we possibly needed. And I went with it. And so now will the Allah Tada. And
who said, I became learned in the way of Zoroastrianism he learned the philosophies of it, he
learned the practices of it, he learned the scriptures of it at the time, it's one of the world's
oldest religions, he learned everything that there was to learn about Zoroastrianism. So he became
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:21
			respectable as a teenager, in that faith. So he's growing up to be a Zoroastrian priest. And the
home was called Daddy matter, which, which is the name of the place in which the fire is kept. So he
says that my father was very wealthy, is very affectionate. He spent on me, I never had any reason
to leave my home. We had multiple properties that were owned by him. He had gardens that he had
servants to attend to. He had palaces and properties that he had servants to attend to. And then one
day, one day, he said, My father got too busy with his properties. And he needed an extra hands.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			And so he comes to me, and at this point, he trusts me.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:12:04
			Because I've never left the house, I've never done anything wrong. And I'm, you know, growing up in
this religion as a priest in this religion, he comes to me one day, and he says to me, Oh, my son,
I'm too busy with the building today. And I need help with the garden. So I need you to go take care
of this garden. So So Namo, the Allahu taala. And who said, so he finally allowed me to leave the
house. And it's not like sentimental, the Allah Tada and disobeyed his father. He said, I got lost.
So I left the house. And I got lost, which shows you how sheltered he was. He didn't even know how
to get to the garden of his father.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:12
			So Subhanallah while he got lost, what does he come across? He says, I came across
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			a church.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:22
			And he said, I was intrigued because I could hear the voices of their era of their recitation.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:13:05
			They were reciting their scripture from inside the church. So I was compelled, the only thing Salman
would breathe growing up was religion. And it was one particular religion it was or astronism. So he
said, this was compelling to me. I was drawn by the recitation of their scriptures. So he said, I
remember that my father, you know, kept me inside the house and never exposed me to anything. So I
just wanted to see what it was. So cinemawall, the Allah Tada. And he said, I entered into their
church. And subhanAllah I want you to imagine a person entering into the messages for the very first
time and they sit in the back and they look around, this is Salman will the Allahu Taala and
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:50
			entering into the church at the time. And he said, I was amazed by the recitation, by their record
and by their sujood, by their bowing and by their prostration. This is one of the most important
historical elements of Persian Christianity versus Roman Christianity. The Council of Nicaea
eliminated sujood prostration, which is very odd because they're reciting Saddam Jesus peace be upon
him till now is described in the Bible as praying how the way you just prayed, falling on his face
in prayer. The Persian church maintain such though they still used to prostrate so they still looked
a lot like the way that Muslims pray. So sir, man will the Allah Tada and who said I was drawn by
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:12
			their salah, they were in Salah, they were reciting their Scripture. They were kneeling, they were
prostrating. And he said, I sat there and I watched and time passed, an hour passes, two hour
passes, two hours passed. And then he said, I come to this realization. I said, their religion is
better than ours.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:57
			Like I've been doing this whole thing, my whole life. I'm a trained priest in my way. I said Dean
home Hiram, and Deena that religion is better than our religion. You know, sometimes you can see it
and this message is often when someone comes in and they see the Salah and they see the Quran even
if they don't understand it, they just you see that realization clips, like wow, there's something
so pure, that's transcending through the Salah. So he said, I said, their religion is better than
ours. So he said, I forgot myself and I lost track of time. And he said, and it reached the time of
sunset so what would have been the equivalent of McCullough but the time right so they prayed again
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			at sunset and it was their last prayer
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			And he said in their leader came to me, the priest of the church came to me.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			And I said to him, Where did this religion come from?
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			Where's this religion from?
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:25
			And he said, a sham, which is greater Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan. And what am I missing?
Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, of course itself, so greater Syria Sham, so it's from a sham.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:16:03
			So he said, I went back home after that, and his world was rocked. The only question he had in that
conversation was, where's this religion from? And he said, a sham. So he said, by the time I got
home, I mean, his father had set off panic throughout the entire city throughout us behind he was
sending people to look for Slenderman. Everywhere. He thought that maybe he was kidnapped. He
thought that maybe he died. He thought the worst, right? And so he said, my father finds me, and my
father embraces me. And he says, Oh, my son, where were you? I sent you to the garden. Where did you
end up going? What happened? Why didn't you do what I asked you to do? Is everything okay? All these
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			questions. So I said to him, Oh, my father.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11
			I went looking for the garden, and I got lost, but I passed by this place.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:34
			And it was a place of worship. And I heard recitation. So I got drawn into it. So I went inside, and
it was a church. And I watched them pray and recite, his father, his whole life had been trying to
stop him from hearing about anything, but the way that he taught him I mean, Zoroastrianism in
Persia, you're here, you're being trained, you're being groomed for this one position.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:42
			And so his father panics and what does he say? He says, there's no hate, there's no good in that
religion of there's
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			So Natalie alongside and
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:52
			he says, I've got to be honest that the genome Heydo Medina, I think their religion is better than
our religion.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:17:10
			His father loses his mind and reacts not in an intelligent way. He doesn't sit there and sit with
him and try to prove to him his own Deen. His father instead, takes his son, and he changed his
hands and his legs.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:53
			And he imprisoned him in his own home. And he says, You're not leaving this house, shames him. So
Salam, O Allah and who goes from being the high priest in the home that everyone knows to come to
every single week when they gather for their worship, the beloved son of his father, to now being
the worst child, the curse of his father humiliated, the people come into the house, they look at
him, they see him chained up and said, Mama Lila animal has been disgraced And subhanAllah. All that
does, is it makes him want the truth more. The fact that his father responded that way only
increased him in a desire for the truth even more. So said mammal the allowance animal was not
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:01
			discouraged. In fact, some mammal the Allahu taala, and who said that I was able to send a letter to
the Christians.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:11
			And I said to them, the people of that church. So the implication is that he basically had one
servant that was cooperating with him. The letter said,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			that you told me that your religion originated from Syria.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:37
			The next time the merchants come from a sham because remember, there were trade routes and there
were seasons where you went from Persia to Yemen, Yemen to a sham Mecca to the different places. She
taught you a slave, the trade journey in the winter, the trade journey in the summer. So he said the
next time the next season, when the merchants come from a sham.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:47
			Let me know that they have arrived. And I'm going to go back to a sham with them. So so not only
Allah Tala animal gets the message to them.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:19
			And some time passes. And there's some merchants that come from a sham. And they go about their
business and they finish their business. And the letter is snuck back to Sonali Allahu Tada and
heard that the merchants of a sham, the Christian merchants have a sham have finished their business
and now they're ready to head back. And some mamil, the Allahu Taala and who said, so I escaped from
the imprisonment of my father. And I joined these people. And I made my way back to a shop.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:58
			So Subhanallah you have this young man now who got lost on the way to his father's garden, and ended
up in a church. And now he's being called by his fitrah being called by his origin, to go to a sham
with a group of people that don't speak the same language as him that are not like him, putting
himself in a very vulnerable situation, all because he wants the truth. And in the midst of a heated
war between the Romans and the Persians, he's going he's going as a Persian entering into Roman
territory, even as a civilian where things at any moment could turn hostile to him.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			But some
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:43
			Not only Allah Tala animal wants to go to the source, he was so drawn by this religion that he
wanted to learn from the most knowledgeable person in the religion. So he said we got to a sham. And
so now the Allah and didn't get distracted now he got to Damascus and Damascus, he could have looked
around and said, You know what? Now that I think about it, I'm a young man, I've never had a chance
to explore life, I'm free. Let me go check this place out and check that place out sometime on the
Allah Tada. And who says, As soon as we got to Damascus, I said, Who is the most knowledgeable
person in this place in this religion? Who knows the religion best. So they took him to this priest
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:49
			in the church in Damascus. And Salam o the Allah animal, said, I went to him.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:21:27
			And I said to him, oh, so and so. I like this religion of yours. Allow me to stay with you, and to
serve you in the church. And in return, I will learn from you and I will pray with you. So
basically, take me as a servant here. I'm not coming to ask you anything. I don't want any money
from you. I don't expect anything in return. Let me just be a servant. I'll clean up I'll take care
of anything that you need. I'll basically be your assistance, whatever you want from me, but let me
learn from you. And let me pray with you. I need mentorships panela he understands the value of
mentorship very early on.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:22:00
			And so this man says, Come on in, except some. Now this story could be very beautiful at this point,
right? I mean, some mammal the Allahu anhu, a High Priest in Persia, leaves his father's home to
study this new religion, the way of Christ. He wants to understand Christianity. in the fullest
sense. He found these righteous people in Persia this man is supposed to be very righteous and also
be a learned scholar. So the model the Allahu Anhu says, This man turned out to be the most corrupt
and evil human being I've ever met in my life.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:13
			Think about the fitna, the test of that he was a complete crook, now as a man will be allowed to
disagree described his father in favorable terms, right? So if you're attaching just religion to
people and people experiences,
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:44
			the head of my people, the father, right? Who was appointing me as the head priest was affectionate
with me. He was someone who was good. Yes, we had a follow up because I started to stray away from
the religion but he was a good man, this man who they say is the most knowledgeable Christian is a
complete crooks and model the Allah and who could have said, Forget this religion. I'm sneaking my
way back to Persia, I'm gonna apologize to my dad. And I'm gonna go back and be a high priest once
again, and forget this experiment of Christianity and seeking the truth.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			As the man will be allowed to hide and who is stuck.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:23:28
			He says that this man was such a crook. He said he would go out there. And he gives these emotional
sermons about charity about giving sadaqa and then all he knew people would come with their most
valuable possessions, their most valuable charity is he take it and he'd store it in a place in the
church, and he wouldn't give any of it to the poor. Just a few coins to be able to satisfy them to
say that he's giving the charity that's coming into the church. So he's stealing their money.
Everything that he told them to do, he did the opposite. The man would commit all sorts of flash all
the shameless deeds, no private worship, I was looking for someone I could worship with all day, the
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:41
			guy had no interest in worship whatsoever. And Salam o the Allah and who said about to who birthed
and studied and I hated this man with every fiber in my body. I couldn't stand this man. What a
horrible human being.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:24:24
			And he said, he had these chests of these treasure chests of all the gold and silver of the people
and only I knew where they were. And I was thinking to myself, How do I expose this man and think
about how vulnerable he is? If someone will the law no comes out and says, oh, people, I want you to
know that your high priest is corrupt. He's a young Persian man, no one knows who he is. They'll
just say that he's here to cause some sort of trouble, and they'll all kill him. It's not gonna
work. Right. So so not only Alon was stuck, I don't know what to do. How do I show the people who
this man really is? So phenomenal, the Allahu Anhu. He says, so as I was trying to figure out what
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			to do about this man, suddenly he died.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			And when he died,
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:50
			I mean, they put on the most elaborate ceremonies and funeral about him. He was their precious
leader, their beloved leader. So he said, they started to do all these plans in the church and they
started to gather from all over and the people cried, and they were emotional. And he said at that
moment when they gathered,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			I stood up. And I said, Well, Allah, He this man was an evil man.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			Everything he used to command you to do he did the opposite.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			Have him and everything he used to take from you for charity he used to keep for himself.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:16
			And the people were full of anger, like you better prove what you're saying, or else you are going
to die. So nuns risking his life by saying who this man actually is.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:58
			And so as they are about to pounce on him, so Namo, the Allahu Anhu is standing in the church in
Damascus, he says, I'll prove to you what I'm saying, follow me, takes them into his room in the
church, the quarter of the priest, and he pulls out the treasure chests. And you imagine the scene
he starts pulling out your mom's bracelet, and all of the gold and silver that you work so hard for
your precious belongings, and he says, here's the charity that you thought you were giving to the
poor. He was storing it all in his room. So said not only Allahu Anhu said that, by the time I
finished showing them all of his hiding spots and explaining the type of corruption that the man
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:36
			used to read. He said at that point, they said, well, Allah, He we will never bury him. They took
the body of their priest, and they crucified Him. And they pelted him with stones. I mean, out of
anger, they just took their anger out on his corpse in front of everyone. So they made a public
display of their anger of him and pelted him with stones. And he says, they left him up there until
his corpse rotted and became so filthy, that they took it down and threw it in the dumpster. This
was the ending of this man Subhan Allah I mean, it was complete hatred towards him because of what
he did to the people.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			And so normally Allah Tada and who was in a predicament.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:27:25
			Now you talk about being let down. When the person who taught you religion ends up being corrupt.
When you attach your faith to a human being, think about the fitna for Salam or the Allahu taala.
And this isn't just his shape. This is the only shape that he knew. This is the only person who he
was taught was a representation of this new religion that he embraced. Right you think about the
fitna of that Subhanallah was when you read the story of Malcolm X and hedge medica Chavez Rahim
Allah and how his his mind was just boggled. Right? When you when you find the corruption of someone
that you dedicate yourself to, I dedicated myself to this man and this is what he became. Forget
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:37
			about this religion, right? So normal, the Allahu taala. And who was wise, he was smart, he was
sincere. He refused to judge the religion by the actions of that man.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:51
			So the religion itself still has some value. There's something here that's divine that I need to
learn. If this man is a failure, he is his own. He is his own failure. That's not the failure of the
religion. That's the failure of this man alone.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:28:01
			That's the wisdom and the sincerity of tsunami, Allah Tada. And so So Manuel de la Andrew said, so
they brought another man and they appointed him in his place.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			What do you think was the situation of this man?
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:44
			corrupt? Righteous. Sandman? Well, the Allahu Anhu said, I've never seen anyone more righteous than
this man who wasn't a follower of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the most righteous man I
ever saw. That wasn't a follower of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said, this was a man
the way he described when he said never saw a man who doesn't offer the five daily prayers that was
better than him. He said this was a man that would strive day and night to worship Allah subhanaw
taala that would cry when he would recite the Scripture that would exhort the people to give charity
and would give everything that he had. This was a man who was dedicated to the church and said Mom
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:53
			will be Allah Tada and who said, I love this man. Like I never loved anyone before. Subhanallah look
at the extreme. Romania tequila, I love
		
00:28:54 --> 00:29:32
			and hate that I wear right. So man had tapped out and Allah made a way out for him. So now the law
and who was sincere, Allah tested him with a roadblock in his journey. And now he's tasting the
sweetest moments in his journey of Christianity, which at that time, is the closest manifestation of
the truth. This is this is the time of Janelia before the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam trying to find the pure message of Isa Islam, the pure message of Jesus peace be upon him.
And he said, I dedicated myself to him. And I worshiped alongside him, and he would advise me and I
would take his advice, and he would seek advice from me and I would advise them I mean, this was the
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:41
			best relationship that you could have between a scholar and a student. And then he said, The man got
sick and he was about to die.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:30:00
			So so the man will the Allahu Anhu went from the worst to the best, is finally immersed in this new
religion is drawn to what he heard in the church and Persia is tasting the sweetness. And of course,
you know, because the prophets lie some said
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:11
			Allah was pleased with Buck Iam and added Kitab there were these gems from the people of the book in
the seas of people that had gone straight. This was clearly one of them. said man or the Allahu Anhu
was with a righteous man.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			And now he says, I'm at his bedside.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:20
			And as he's dying, I'm talking to him and I say to him, Oh, my teacher.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:40
			He said, Well, Allah He I love you like I've never loved anyone before. It's an emotional party from
his teacher. So now I never saw his father die. He's watching this man die. It's a man will the
Allahu Anhu says in the decree of Allah has come to you. As it has been promised.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:57
			What do you advise me to do? What do I do after you die? I don't know who they're going to bring
after you. I don't know what what what type of character he is going to be. I don't know if his
religion is going to be pure. What do I do? And he says the man says to me, yeah, tonight, oh my
son.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:13
			Wala he I do not know of a single person who follows what I followed. Because the people are doomed
and they have changed the religion of Jesus peace be upon him, except for a scholar in Mosul in
Iraq.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:22
			Go back to him. Tell him I sent you follow Him and learn from him as he used to learn from me.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:28
			So So nominal, the law and who is say is being sent back to the Persian Empire back to Iraq.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:32:15
			There are no flights, direct flights from Damascus to Mosul at the time. Just think about this for a
moment seriously perceive it like these are journeys across the world, across hostile warring
empires. And Sandman doesn't have travel experience. He doesn't have anyone to protect him. And so
Manuel, the Alana has been told go make this journey and find this man in Mosul, Iraq. Tell him I
sent you some ammo, the low tide and he said, So I waited for him until he died. We washed him, we
prayed janazah on him, we buried him. So I took the little belongings that I had. And I make my way
from Damascus to Mosul in Iraq. Now most of the by the way, prior to the Council of Nicaea was one
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:55
			of the centers of Eastern Christianity. It was actually an Episcopal seat and the Assyrian Church of
the East in the sixth century. So this is a place that has a rich history, and he's going to find
this small group of people and this teacher that they have. So he said, I found the man, I made my
way to most of the era, I found him and I said to him, oh, so and so. My teacher in Damascus,
advised me after he died to come to you, and told me that you follow the same religion the same way
that he follows and that I should stay with you. So he said, he told me to come with me and to stay
with me. So he said, I stayed with this man. And I found him to be upon the way of my previous
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:33
			teacher, a righteous man worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. I learned from him, I studied with him.
And I was pleased because there was continuity in the journey right one shake to another shake,
basically, right scholar, scholar righteousness continuous and again, another jam from the people of
the book in the sea of misguidance. Then he said he starts to die to just my luck. And that tells
you by the way, this hadith tells you that when the prophets lie, some talks about these few gems
left of Al Kitab that this was a dying generation and the prophets lie some talks about
mountaineering, even in this ummah, right the death of the scholars that when you see the death of
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:47
			scholars in succession, but it's a dangerous sign of the well being of the OMA May Allah subhanaw
taala make it easy for us. So this man is dying in some manner the Allahu Anhu said I came to his
side and I said to him, Oh, my teacher.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:34:18
			I went from Persia to Damascus. I went through this journey with uh, with a person who was a
straight and then I accompanied a righteous man and then he passed away he sent me to you, and now
you're passing away. What do I do? Where are you going to send me? I mean, can I leave to go to
Baghdad or can I go to you know, another place in Iraq? He says to him, Oh, my son. He said Well,
Allah he the only person I know who practices the religion the way that we practice it as a man in
New saving.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20
			Okay,
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:42
			so go to new C'est bien. And stay in New C'est bien. So now we're getting on the Turkish side. Okay,
and follow this person close to them still within Iraq. Follow this person. Tell him that I that I
sent you and do with him what you did with me. So he said I stayed with him. buried him went into
say been
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:59
			no say being was the center of what was known as an historian Christianity prior to its collapse. So
the Nestorians which were some sort of the outlawed Christians went into hiding and no say been and
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			You know, he's finding this teacher here
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:26
			that he was directed to so so model the law and I said, I make my way to just say being, get to know
say being, I find this man. And I tell him that so and so sent me to you. And he said, you're on the
religion of atheism, you're on the religion of Christ. Can I stay with you? He says, Come on in. So
I stayed with him in the church. I found him to be upon the way of my previous to cheat teachers.
And then he started to die too.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:36:14
			So tsunami, Allah and who says to him, oh, so and so. I was advised to go from Damascus, to Molson
and then from Mosul to new C'est bien. And now I have found that you, too, are passing away? What do
you advise me? He says, No one follows. There's this religion that I know of, except for this one
scholar in our Maria memoriam, which is in a part of Anatolia, in Turkey. So go to Cambodia and tell
him that I sent you, your mind is already spinning. Imagine actually having to live this journey.
Subhanallah like, where am I going from place to place to place? So he said, I went to Cambodia. And
I stayed with this man. And I found him to be upon the way of his companions righteous, I learned
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:34
			from him and keep in mind that every shape is giving him a you know, a different perspective, but
within the same correct creed, right, and he's learning from their lock from their character. So
think about the growth and the accumulation of knowledge and perspective and mentorship, the
refinement of salamanders, faith and character. Then he said, This guy starts to die too.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:48
			So he said, I said to him, oh, so and so. I was sent from Damascus to most of them to know C'est
bien ta Maria. And now you're dying to? Where do I go? He said to him, listen.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:53
			I only know a man back in a sham. Go back to Damascus, where you started.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:37:11
			And look for this person. And stay with him until you learn from him and until the decree of Allah
comes. So he said, I went back to a sham. I stayed with this man. I learned from him. And he said,
and this man started to die too.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			So he says, I went to him. And I said,
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:21
			and this is by the way, the explanation. So the man says I took him by the hand on his deathbed. I
said, Rahim, Allah, may Allah have mercy on you.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:36
			I went from this place to this place Damascus, to Mosul to not say been to armeria Now back to
Damascus. What am I supposed to do at this point?
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:52
			And this man gives him the news. He says to him, Listen, yeah, B'nai on my son. I do not know anyone
upon this religion upon this way in its purest manifestation that exists in the world today. That's
it.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:38:41
			I'm your last one. Your journey comes back full circle. You're back in Damascus. And I don't know
anyone that still practices this religion, the way that we practice it the pure way of Jesus peace
be upon him. But he says, There has come the time, where Allah will surely send the next prophet, a
descendant of Ibrahim alayhis salam rasuna is Muhammad so he gave him the name he said a messenger
whose name is achmad? Where will he appear he will appear in the land of the Arabs and he will
migrate he will make his rock to a land between two How does two lava fields Medina has between
these two Hubbard's right if you look at the geography of Medina land with black rocks, it's
		
00:38:41 --> 00:39:24
			situated right there. And he said, The land will be known by its palm trees, the land will be known
by its palm tree. So it gives them a very descriptive, you know, understanding of what he should be
looking for in terms of the location he says about the prophets lie. Some he says, As for him, there
are three characteristics that you should look for. Number one, he has a seal on his back of
Prophethood Hanuman number one, and it is unmistakable. right between his shoulder blades, there's a
distinct verse mark that does not belong or exist on any other human being number two, if you give
him charity, he won't eat from it. Number three, if you give him a gift, he will eat from it. So I'm
		
00:39:24 --> 00:40:00
			giving you the location. And I'm giving you the description of the profit. But that's it. I don't
know anyone else that follows this way. So now somehow, at least before cinemawall The Allahu Anhu
was being told to go from this city to that city to the city that city now he's got this the land of
the Arabs, palm trees. You know, a man with a seal on his back. Is he gonna go start searching
people's backs? Giving people give some charity? What do I do? Where do I go? And what's the
timeline? We don't know at least Abdullah Salam or the Allah Allah who we spoke about was waiting in
Medina. They already knew he was coming there. Salaam
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:37
			On the line was in Damascus, and he's completely lost. He said the man died. I buried him and he
said, and then I stayed in a sham as long as Allah subhanaw taala willed that I should stay so I
purchased some things I got into the soup I got into the marketplace I sold and I bought here and
there and I basically waited for someone to take me to the land of the Arabs now when they say the
land of the Arabs at the time they mean to zero to the Arab they mean the Gulf because this is now
within the territory territory of the Roman Empire. So so basically waited for the caravans that
would come from the air the Arabian Gulf,
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:58
			to ask them to take me to this place and I basically find my way from there. So San Manuel the Allah
Tala animal he says that I'm in a sham and then there was this group of merchants that came from a
tribe known as bento kelp. Now Ben who kelp, this was the tribe of Zaidan Hadith or the Allahu
taala. And
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:37
			the the adopted son of the Prophet slice Allah al Kelby, this tribe by the way, it's ironic Subhan
Allah because they little the Allah who I know how did they end up in the house of the prophets lie
Selim. He was kidnapped and sold into slavery. He was out on a journey with his mother and he was
kidnapped and sold into slavery and eventually you know, sold to the cousin of digital the longtime
and gifted to the profit slice and I'm adopted by the profit slice on his journey started off with
what though a kidnapping and then being sold into slavery. So the man will be a long time and he
said, I said to these people, where are you from? They described Mecca. So I said, Will you take me
		
00:41:37 --> 00:42:17
			back with you? They said, What are you gonna give us? He said, here take everything that I own. Here
are the cows, here are the sheep you can take all of my possessions I just want you to get me back
to that place I need to travel with a caravan take me to that place and help me understand the
geography helped me understand the lay of the land a bit so so mammal, the Allah Tada and who said,
so they agreed, and they took me and then we got to why the Quran outside Medina, it's the
outskirts, the land of the Arab. And he said, we took a break. And on this pitstop, they suddenly
jumped on me. And they tied me up and they taped my mouth and they went and they sold me into
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			slavery.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:25
			Subhan Allah fitna again, another test of your faith.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:43:10
			So a man will the Allahu Taala and this is inedible Hardy by the way in a separate Hadith and this
hadith broke my heart Subhanallah so the mama the Allahu Taala and who said that I was sold from
slave owner to slave owner over 13 times bid on Tasha between 13 and 19 times in the Arabic language
I went from slave owner to slave owner to slave owner to slave owner. Every one of them has a
different mood, a different mindset, a different temper. I have to deal with this person and that
person at least I was a free man on a journey of looking for my faith. And now I'm spending years in
captivity. And Subhan Allah he says Bin Laden been in Rob and Rob and rob from Rob to rob and
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:38
			Alfredo the Allah Tada and who he narrates this from semana de la Anna he says, he says Sandman did
not know that the prophets lie. Some forbade us from calling people to master, Lord to Lord, he
didn't know. So he's narrating this narration because they used to call the slave owner up. He's
narrating the narration. And he didn't know at the time that the prophets lie some forbade us from
using that word to describe the the the slave owners. So here he is now
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:54
			over 30 years. So normally, Alonzo went through this journey for over three decades, trying to find
the truth. And every single time a difficulty comes to him. It doesn't deter him.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:44:20
			But instead he finds a new connection to Allah subhanaw taala. Here you have a Zoroastrian high
priest, who was the son of a leader in Persia, who was a Christian scholar, a biblical scholar, who
spoke Persian Hebrew knew all of the scriptures of the Zoroastrians and the Torah and the Bible the
NG and he's being passed around with no protection whatsoever amongst the Arabs
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:31
			Gee it's weird right? What's going on with this man? It's us anomaly Allah and Hassan and then
finally I was sold to this Jewish man from Benin Corolla
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			so he said this man lived in yesterday
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:59
			so so I mean, wouldn't you have given up hope at this point? So normally Allah Tala animal is in his
50s By the way, because he's the same age as the prophet slice um, he's not a young man anymore. The
youth is gone. So not only Allah Allah said, the slave owner takes me and he takes me to his garden
and yesterday and he explains to me what I need to do in the palm trees and then said man goes
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			Land of palm trees.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:04
			Okay, this is interesting.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:18
			And as the man will be a lot of time and starts to ask about the land and go out and explore the
land Yathrib sits between these two lava like fields black rocks, to help us.
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:57
			So he says, it might be it, this might be it. So it's a man with the Allahu taala. And who said I
stayed there. And for a long time, I didn't hear anything. I just worked as a slave. I just
continued on my way, working and waiting for some sign from Allah subhanaw taala Salam, o the ALLAH
and he says in one day, I'm in the tree. And I'm high up in the tree and I'm picking the dates from
the palm trees. And he said, My master is sitting in the garden, you know, enjoying his nice cup of
water hanging out and I'm up there. And he says his cousin comes to him.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:42
			And he says, cartel Allah Who bento kala May Allah destroy bundle Tila Kala, or pillar. pillar is
the mother of the unsolved the maternal link between an old son of husbands the two tribes from
Yemen is a woman named Kayla and back then when they want to insult you, they call you by the name
of your mother, instead of the name of your father. So they said God Allah subhanaw taala this man
is talking to the Master of Ceremonies says May Allah destroy the children of Taylor. So he said,
Why Mahabharata home what happened? Why are you saying this? And he said in one breath Wallah he in
the home damaged me ruin a few Koba Allah Roger in Kadima la him in Makkah, here's one that will not
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:50
			be there they are in Buddha gather around this man from Mecca who migrated from Makkah and claims to
be a prophet.
		
00:46:51 --> 00:47:07
			That's Allah in one sentence. For seven will be Allah Tala and hope to hear while at the top of a
tree, Salam o the Allahu taala. And who said I heard you loud aura, like chills went down my spine,
he said, I almost fell out of the tree.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:29
			I almost fell out of the tree. And I had to grab once again onto the branches. And he said I came
down and I was shivering. And he said, I went up to the man that came to my master, the cousin of my
master, I said to him, learn to code nautical nautical What did you say? What did you say? What did
you say? And he said that my master grabbed me by my shoulder and he punched me in the face.
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:31
			knocked me out.
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:37
			And he said to him, I'm not shutting up and what business do you have back to work or data shows
like
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:42
			so so the man will be allowed and who said,
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:52
			collected himself, got back to work. And he said, The next day I went to the woman in the household,
meaning the wife of the men.
		
00:47:53 --> 00:48:18
			And I said to her heavenly Yeoman, can I have a day off? So she said, Go ahead, you can have the day
off. So it's a man with the law said I quickly went, I collected some firewood. And I sold it. And
then I purchased some dates with that firewood. So when the evening came, he spent the day basically
going and collecting wood sold the word got some dates, he said I immediately rushed to Cuba.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:55
			And I started to look for this man that claims to be a prophet. Now it's a man's not gonna get his
hopes all the way up. He needs to test the man. Right I've already heard. And when you saw the
prophets lie Selim I mean, what did I beloved, no Samuel, the Allah and who saved the chief rabbi of
Medina, when he saw the Prophet slice of him. I saw his face and I already knew this was him. So of
course, the amount of the Allahu Anhu sees the Prophet slice Salam and something is gonna hit him,
but at the same time, he needs to make sure he's been disappointed many, many, many times in this
journey. I need to make sure this is the Prophet of ALLAH. So he said, I got to Koba. I saw the
		
00:48:55 --> 00:49:08
			Sahaba gathered around the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I said, Where is this man? They
said, This is him. I went to him. And I brought some dates. I said, Tim, I hear that you're a good
man.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:18
			And that you're in need that you're people who have migrated to this land and that you're in need.
She said, I brought you some dates sadaqa to charity,
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:43
			so that you can benefit from it. So the prophets I send them he smiled and thanked me and Rasul
Allah say some he took off his border to the green garment from Yemen, took it off. He spread it on
the ground. He put the dates, he called the sahaba. He said, Go ahead and eat and semana de la and I
was sitting there watching and he said he didn't touch the dates. The Prophet slice them didn't eat.
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:52
			So he said, Wahida that's one. He's talking to himself. He said, That's one sign. He doesn't eat
sadaqa the profit slice and did not touch the sadaqa.
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:59
			So he said, some time went by. And a few days later, I asked
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:10
			Once again, the woman of the house, heavily Yeoman. Can I have another day? She said, go ahead. So
he said I went, gathered some wood, got some date, sold the wood, got some dates, went back to Cuba.
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:14
			I went to the profit side, some and I said, Listen, last time I came,
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:22
			I realized that you didn't eat from the food that I brought you. So he said, here's some dates. And
he said, idea tonight, it's a gift for you.
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:51
			So he said the prophets lie, some took off his garment, spread it on the ground, put the dates and
the prophets lie, some called the sahaba. And the prophets lie Selim and the Companions ate from the
dates and man is struggling now. To hold his excitement. He says how the Athenian that's two, two
out of three signs. So now I've got the geography, right? I've got to have three signs. But how am I
going to ask the man to see his back?
		
00:50:53 --> 00:51:06
			Because the third sign is a seal heart, I'm an Ebola on the back of the Prophet slice on them. And
I'm Persian guy, that's from nowhere and you know, kind of deeply suspicious if I just walk up Hey,
you mind if I see your back?
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:08
			So it's anomaly Allahu taala. And
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:28
			he said, so I started to watch the back of the prophets lie some of them when I could whenever I
could pull away from the house of my master. So I go, and I search and I look and I follow the back
of the prophets, I some and see maybe if his garment came down, the shirt came down, so I could just
see his back.
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32
			Pan Allah he says the first time
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:47
			I get to see his back, is that the janazah of one of his companions, and it was the first Sahabi
buried in the back here next to the muzzle of the Prophet SAW Selim, who was that Sahami according
to the most correct opinion.
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:59
			I'll give you a clue. He's the first person we spoke about. In this season of the first the first
Muslim from Medina is also the first burial in Medina who is he
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:27
			is adamant Serravalle Allah Tada. And so Sandman is watching the Prophet sly, so I'm very excited
and Surah Radi Allahu Taala and with his companions imagine a lucky year with all of its glory 10s
of 1000s of companions buried there now, and all of the rights of scholars and tampereen May Allah

00:52:29 --> 00:52:33
			So Natalie, Allah Allah said, so watched from behind the funeral.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:38
			And I watched the prophets lie Selim, lead the prayer on him.
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:45
			And then I watched the prophets lie Selim and he was wearing two shawls sitting between his Sahaba
		
00:52:46 --> 00:53:00
			and then when it came time, to put him into the grave to put the body of SI little the Allah and who
worked with him and had them in one narration in the grave. He said that the Prophet size some shawl
started to move.
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:12
			So he said, so I started to go and kept looking at the back of the prophets lie Selim. And after
they did the burial, he said Rasulullah sai some noticed what I was trying to do.
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:16
			Prophets lie some caught on to what Sandman was trying to do.
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:19
			So he said the prophets lie Selim
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:21
			lowered his garment.
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:37
			said man will the Allahu Tada and who sees on the back of the Prophet slice Allah, that birthmark
that seal that he'd been looking for for over 30 years in the middle of the janazah of the first
Muslim in Medina.
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:45
			Selma, the Allahu Anhu said, I could not contain myself, God if and kaduk to Allah.
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			I threw myself on the Prophet slice.
		
00:53:49 --> 00:54:08
			Carla, or Kabiru and I was kissing the back of the prophets lie Selim. Kissing the seal of the
prophets lie Selim, and crying and crying. And while I'm weeping what's happening this harbor just
looking like this is a really strange sight, right? Like what's happening here this Persian man does
jumps on the Prophet sites on the prophets eyes. I'm just letting him
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:19
			and he's hugging the Prophet size someone he's kissing the back of the prophets lie Selim. And he
said hi to her that after I calm down, it took a while for me to contain myself.
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:23
			And the prophets like Sam said, Can I turn around
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:24
			to Helen?
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:27
			And I said, Yes,
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:36
			Carla, to Ed Hamza, who demaree? He said I started to wipe my eyes. And after I calmed down, I mean,
he was weeping loudly. He said, I said
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			to the prophets lie somewhere. Rather, he said to me, my hubback
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:59
			What's your story? It's panela. After traveling the world, and going from over 13 slave owners and
the beatings and the confusion and the corruption and all of the fitna and all the trials and
tribulation, everything we go through in this journey
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:01
			of Islam.
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:07
			We will not face the trials and tribulations that this man faced in his journey before even meeting
the Prophet size.
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:13
			And he finally is right in front of the Prophet sighs I'm in the prophets lie, some says
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:16
			Mahabharat. Look, tell me your story.
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:23
			So he said, I told the prophets lie some my entire life story
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:30
			in the graveyard is Pamela. And he said to Ben Abbas, and I'm telling you just as I told him that
day
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:33
			memorizes narrating the story.
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:42
			So he goes from Persia to Damascus, to Iraq, to Turkey to Syria, all over the place with the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:55:44 --> 00:56:20
			And then he says to the prophets lie, some will come to a pathogenic and I was looking for you. And
he broke down crying again. May Allah give us that meeting with the Prophets lie some of them like
you think about that Subhan Allah that journey to the Prophet slice and I mean, that's our journey
of life, right, that journey of being upon this way to just finally find ourselves in and doneita
Allah, with the prophets I summon his companions, not in generative Buccleuch but generative for
those around the health of the prophets why someone was so lost, I'm looking at you and giving you a
your his attention and saying, Look, tell me your story. This is a moment of Genma Subhanallah after
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:49
			a difficult difficult life, that's a model the law and was living. And he said that I told the
prophet size and everything we're going to adhere to and can I was looking for you yellow sort of
luck. And now here I am. Before you imagine the validation that said man will the Allah and who felt
imagine the way that all the stress and all the trials and all the tribulation melts away when he
realizes that he's now arrived at the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam and he's right in front of
him.
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:55
			Yet his test is not over. So Monaldi Lovato has a problem.
		
00:56:56 --> 00:57:26
			The man who owns him now hates the prophets lie Selim, and refuses to let him free. So now
Subhanallah, another test and tribulation he's in El Medina. And all this glory is unfolding around
the prophets lie Selim. And he said my Master wouldn't let me go. The prophets lie. Some would say
to me, yes, that man Khatib Oh said, man, just how can we get you free? How can we get you out? And
the master of Sandman would not set a price wouldn't let him go.
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:50
			And he said that in slavery, I missed what did he say? He said, The man made me miss bedridden or
hurt. Like he didn't say I miss like praying in the masjid. I missed eating with the profit slice.
And I missed all those days with the prophets. I saw him he said, I missed better than Earth like I
hated that man for making me miss the battles with the Prophets lie Selim and being with the Prophet
sighs I'm in his difficult times.
		
00:57:51 --> 00:58:12
			And he said in the prophets lie, some said to me, yes. And mentality of OSA, the man, free yourself,
what is it that he What is it that he needs for Cotulla? Love, we also want Matt in the I don't have
anything to free myself. So he said, Just go to your master and tell him anything. He wants profits.
I said, I'm not saying anything that he wants, will free you.
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:19
			But get a price. So he said I went to the master and he said to me, fine, you want freedom.
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:23
			He said, Tim, I want 300 palm trees.
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:31
			You get the land. You get the trees, you plant them. And the trees have to come to life. So you got
to see the trees
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:41
			through make sure they actually come to life. Oh, and by the way, I want 40 Okay as of gold, by the
way over 1000 grams of gold.
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:48
			So now the Lord said I was so disappointed. I didn't even go back until the prophets lie somebody
said.
		
00:58:49 --> 00:59:13
			And the Prophet slicin came to me he said Yes, sir. Man. Did you do what I said? And he said the
artist Sula, he sought an impossible price. He said what did he say? He said 300 palm trees, the
land the trees and you got to see them come to life. Take care of them until they come to light. And
40 Okay, as of gold. You also the law, it's an impossible thing. The prophets license without
hesitating. He calls the Sahaba he says no, you know, How come everyone help your brother?
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:50
			Let's get on it. Subhan Allah talking about convert care? What is that person worth after the
shahada moment? This is like, undoubtedly the greatest shahada story of all time, right? I mean,
like, talk about a journey and the Sahaba heard it in a book here. But what is the man worth? He
doesn't have a powerful tribal collection or connection in a worldly sense. He doesn't have anyone
to take care of him. He doesn't have anything to offer in the worldly sense. He's a Persian men.
What's he worth in the dunya? We sense right in the worldly sense the prophets lie some didn't sit
there and think and say, You know what to I can Annaleigh Be patient. Have some
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:54
			I'll see you in January for those with all the other ones.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:59
			Like I'll catch you later. You'll be okay inshallah make your brother. He didn't say that to him.
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:25
			sencillos ohada Arena How come everyone helps your brother so, so the man will be alone until then
watch us and all of the Sahaba start to come forth carrying their palm trees. One of them brings one
the other one brings to the other one brings 10 Rusnano the low tide and who brings the land and
it's normal the law annual brings 20 Of course Earth man was never outdone and cattlemen generosity
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:29
			until they collected 300 palm trees to plant
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:56
			some nonsense the prophets like Sam said to me as a man go dig up the land for the for the trees to
be planted, and then call me when you're done. So semana de Allah and he says, I went and I dug the
holes, 300 holes for the trees. And then I came back to the prophets lifetime I said, the eldest
son, Allah, I'm done. And he said the prophets lie some cane with his companions. And he said, Rasul
Allah say salam got in every single one of those holes.
		
01:00:57 --> 01:01:01
			And said, Give me the tree and he planted it himself. Salallahu it who was
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:03
			making your and nourishing it.
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:11
			So how long when narration no matter what the Allahu Anhu planted one tree, and it was the only tree
that died.
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:38
			It's actually in one it's a hassle. It's not the one not because something's wrong with the model
the low and humble because the prophets lie. Some had a special connection here. Right, planted all
299 trees and then planted one in the place where all the law and who planted the tree according to
the narration. So 300 trees from the hands of the prophets lie Selim talks about convert care,
didn't pass it off to someone else. And he said, All 300 of the trees came to life.
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:56
			Now there's one problem. So a man's like, Well, where do I get all this gold from? 40 Okay, as of
gold, said, while this is all happening, a man came to the prophets lie Selim. And he handed the
prophets I send them a block of gold as a gift to the Prophet, slice alum from the MME.
		
01:01:57 --> 01:02:02
			So he said that the Prophet sighs I immediately took it. He said to me, go take the Stairmaster
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:12
			and he said I looked at it and I said, you know, sort of Allah, I'm not talking me how to he this is
nice. What's this gonna do? The prophets like some said, take it to him.
		
01:02:13 --> 01:02:24
			And said, Allah made it so that when I took that gold to him that block of gold, he said that it was
exactly 40 LPS exactly what he demanded.
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:55
			So he said, he finally let me go and he said, I never missed a mesh had I never missed an event
alongside the profit slice alone. After that date. I'm gonna give you one more stories Pamela, and
then we'll continue and Charlotte's out next week with some man will be a little tired and home. And
how he now settles in an Medina alongside the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And I want you to
just appreciate for a moment in this situation, that's the man or the Allahu taala. And who
		
01:02:56 --> 01:03:23
			is, as Abu Dhabi Allah, and we'll call them a bull kita beam, he's the father of the two books set
man is the only man possibly in the world that is a scholar of the Bible, a scholar of the Quran,
and a scholar of the Zoroastrian scriptures, speaks Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, and Aramaic all
fluently and knows all of the books and all of the Scriptures and all of the arguments.
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:57
			And as according to a man and now we know him Allah, the first we'll talk Jim, the first person to
translate the Quran translated parts of the Quran into Persian on behalf of the Prophet slicin. A
unique man, a very strange person, Subhan Allah who ends up in Medina, with this aura that surrounds
him, and has been through what no other companion has been through to be alongside the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa salam. And he's never been in a battle. Alongside the prophets of Allah Harney.
He was salam. And then the first battle is going to witness is hunted up
		
01:03:58 --> 01:04:11
			is Zab, where the largest army the Arabs have ever accumulated, has now gathered around Medina to
wipe out the prophets lie some of his companions. Like I missed the bed.
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:28
			And now here I am. And I'm with the Prophets lie some of his companions. What are we doing, by the
way, the largest army in the world, in the Arab world that we've ever seen. They've all gathered and
they're going to wipe us out now. They've decided to surround us from every direction, wipe us out.
We're done.
		
01:04:29 --> 01:04:59
			And the prophets lie, Selim is asking the Companions, give me your opinion. Give me your opinion.
Give me your opinion. What do we do? The main discussion is do we fight them inside the city? Do we
plant trash within Medina, hide within our homes and try to fight that way? Or do we go out the way
that we didn't? Because it was considered the outskirts of the city and fight them out there and
keep them away? Keep the women and the children on the inside and fight them out there? What do we
do? What do we do? What do we do? And so normally a long time and who says you have a supply have an
idea? says what's the idea?
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:21
			He said, We in Persia, either Hefner to hunt duck now, when the Romans gather against us, what we
would do is we build a trench a hunt up and the word hunt up is in Arabi and in Farsi, the same
word, I guess with a little bit of variation because I know someone's going to check me after this,
but hunt duck, we would build this trench.
		
01:05:23 --> 01:05:52
			So he said the honor sort of Allah Medina is situated perfectly between two How do us remember what
the teacher told him? in Assam, you have these two lava fields on each side of Medina. So they won't
be able to come with their horses over those. All you have to do is build one trench across the two
headless and then there is natural vegetation on the other side. So as a result of that, you are
covered from all four directions yellow suit Allah
		
01:05:54 --> 01:05:59
			and it will slow down their army and all you have to do at that point is fight off the army from the
100
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:11
			Subhanallah once a man says this, all the Sahaba look at Savannah and they see the pleasure of the
prophets lie Selim. How the prophets lie Selim was pleased with the opinion of Salam o the Allah
Tada
		
01:06:12 --> 01:06:52
			and the unsalted the misogyny and they start to walk up and they say, this is our guy. Because
Sandman is an unclaimed man, he doesn't have a tribe. So the different tribes that start to say,
some man's one of us, a man's one of us this, this idea came from us the facade. This idea came from
us to my God, and this is Ben Russo. And so Ben was so and so. And the prophets like some looks at
him, and he says Selma, no Mina, Al Bayt. He said, No, no, sir man is mine. He's from the people of
my household said man is family. So man Amina elevate. So now the Allahu Anhu is to be considered a
hallowed bait from the family of the prophets, Allah Allah Hardy was Allah Subhan Allah, a journey
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54
			of truth that took him from
		
01:06:55 --> 01:07:35
			the son of the leader and us behind and Persia, around the fire through the entire world. To the
household of the prophets lie some total Salah slice I'm looking at him and saying, Salman Amina al
bait and his strategy of how to build the trench being the means by which Allah protected the people
of Medina from being wiped out. Because from a numbers perspective, that army was so much smaller
than what was coming from the outskirts on the heels of ahead. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah
to be pleased with cinnamon or the Allahu Taala and who to be pleased with the companions of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to send his peace and blessings on the messenger sallallahu
		
01:07:35 --> 01:08:11
			alayhi wa sallam, together as with our beloved messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and for those
that Allah We ask Allah Who brought Salam o the Allahu Allahu anhu, from far away in Persia, to be
right in front of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and to be pleased with the sight of the
Prophet slice and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to please us with the sight of our beloved Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. While he is pleased with us, we ask Allah Subhana Allah to grant us the
sincerity in the jihad in the struggle and to grant us hedaya and guidance and Sabbats and firmness
upon the right path throughout our journey Allahumma Amin Xochimilco Hydra and sha Allah to Allah
		
01:08:11 --> 01:08:24
			next week, we will continue with the other side of salaam of the Allah Tada and her story which is
rarely told, which is his way back to Persia. So inshallah Tada next week, please do join us as
salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
