connection between Suleyman and Bayt al-Maqdis.
We will talk about Al-Aqsa, we will
talk about Palestine, inshallah ta'ala.
Some connections.
Anybody, where did you find it, the sister's
side or the man's side?
Sister, somebody lost their keys.
There's a car keys right here.
If you lost your car key, it's yours?
Are you sure?
Let's start, inshallah come over.
This is for the adults, I guess everybody
has phones now.
Go to this link, right now, the Q
&A will be on the link.
Go to this link.
I have some nice, nice, nice gifts.
The brothers and sisters, they keep amazing me,
inshallah.
For all these beautiful gifts.
But I have a very, very special gift
myself for someone tonight.
Girls sit next to mama or baba.
Either mama or baba.
Mama, where's mama?
Ta'ala, ta'ala, where's mama?
Go to this link, please, open your phones.
Go to this link, link paulf.com slash
imamriyad957.
This is the link.
I will give you questions, you will answer
them, inshallah.
Exactly.
I'm going to go live in a moment.
Does it ask for a name?
Don't do nothing, don't log in, don't do
anything.
I'm going to do something.
Did it change?
It should change now.
Right?
It should change now.
Did it change?
You got the question, good.
And that's what I'm, you got the question.
Wait, wait, wait.
I didn't say start.
Wait, wait.
Okay, here's the first question.
The question says, was Dawood judgmental between the
two angels?
When the angels came to Dawood, did he
judge?
Was he judgmental, yes or no?
Answer the question.
Are you done?
Yeah, okay.
Only one answer, I'm sorry.
If you have one phone, that means one
answer.
Was Dawood judgmental between the two angels?
Right?
Remember?
My brother has 99 ears and I have
only one.
So Dawood, he made a ruling.
Was he judgmental, yes or no?
This is the question.
Ask your dad, man.
But I'm not going to give you the
answer.
The kids will have the question at the
end.
This is for the adults, basically.
But you can work with your parents.
Was he judgmental?
So the majority said yes.
There are still people entering.
Did you answer?
Yes?
Done?
Who needs more time?
Who needs more time?
No.
Was he judgmental?
Yes, he was.
He was judgmental.
Why?
Because he did not listen from the other.
And we learned from this last time.
Remember when you see somebody, even you have...
Always you have to listen from both parties.
This is the job of a judge.
A judge, when he comes in, you know,
he hears from both parties.
But in fact, Dawood, he did not.
He only heard from one, the guy who
claimed that he had 99, like his brother
had 99, and I only have one.
And then my brother says, give me yours.
I'll take yours.
He has 99.
Ya Shabab, boys and girls.
I don't have, I need your help.
Ya Ummahat, Ummahat wal Aba.
I need your help.
You need to keep your kids, inshallah wa
ta'ala, keep them with...
keep them quiet.
What was I saying?
I was saying, he said, my brother has
99, and I only have one.
One lamb.
And then my brother, despite 99, he said,
give me yours too.
So it was not fair.
But then Dawood, he should have heard from
the other guy, he did not hear, and
then he made that judgment.
Right?
So this is the first question.
Question number two.
Next.
Was the ant smart?
Or why was the ant smart in addressing
her army?
The ant, was she smart?
Why was she smart?
So it's not like yes or no.
You have to write it down.
Write down the...
the sisters or the brothers.
You know, listen, it's not like the queen.
You know, why was she smart?
Why?
Why?
Why was she smart?
She addressed her army.
She told the army, Dawood is coming, Sulaiman
is coming, he is going to destroy you.
Right?
And then she said something.
So why was she smart?
Oh Allah.
Help this brother, right here.
Go to him.
Let's go to the first one.
I want to see the answers.
I want to see the answers.
Queen, wrong.
She told them before they can ask why?
Aha, she told them.
She explained the reason before they asked as
to why he told us to go back
home.
Being a leader, that's not a good answer.
She gave the reason to run away.
She did give a reason as to why
they should go back home.
She told them before being a leader, in
the second commandment.
So as to warn them, along with the
warning, she gave them a reason.
Yes, she gave them a reason as to
why they should go away.
She told them before that.
She was afraid Sulaiman and his army would
crush them without noticing.
Correct.
Because she gave an excuse to Sulaiman.
Correct.
Because Sulaiman and army can kill them.
Yes, correct.
Wisdom, knowledge, leader, good wisdom.
Correct.
She was very wise.
Wisdom, because it knows that Prophet will heal
her.
How did she know that Sulaiman will heal
her?
She did not know that.
She did not know that Sulaiman will heal
her.
She just told her army, go back home,
because Sulaiman and his army may destroy you.
Leave.
That's the reason.
Yes, she was smart.
This is why she was a leader.
To protect them from Sulaiman and his army
without noticing.
Correct.
All your questions are right.
Alright, here is the thing.
I don't know who gave this answer.
Okay?
Somebody might say, Sheikh, you are racist.
Because it's Arabic, so you're going to give
a gift to the Arabs.
I don't want to hear that.
And if somebody says something like that, he
insults me.
I don't like that.
I was going to give something.
So let me pick someone.
A good answer.
In fact, no.
We are correct.
Move on.
You got it.
Here is the question.
I spoke about this last week.
The difference between the name of Allah, Al
-Razzaq and the name of Allah, Al-Wahhab.
Here, I will give a good gift, inshallah.
I mentioned it last week.
I mentioned it last week.
The difference between Al-Razzaq is I have
worked hard for the reward.
Al-Razzaq, I want to see all the
answers.
How can I?
I need to go down.
Right?
I want to see all.
Al-Wahhab will give everything.
Al-Razzaq is you have to work hard
for the reward.
It will give everything.
Al-Razzaq will increase Roza.
I should understand what Roza means, right?
Roza means fasting.
Roza means fasting?
Fasting?
Al-Razzaq, go down, go down, go down.
I want to see that Roza thing.
Go down.
Keep coming.
Go down, go down.
Al-Razzaq and Al-Wahhab will put Barakah.
I don't know.
Giving as a gift and giving for what's
deserved.
But who is who?
Al-Razzaq, you need to work to get
the Rizq.
Al-Wahhab bestow gift.
Right.
Al-Razzaq, all Rizwana What's Rizwana again?
Rizwana?
Al-Razzaq, give without action.
Al-Razzaq gives with action.
What did she say?
Yes, after the action, Al-Razzaq gives.
Al-Wahhab, without any action, he bestows the
gift.
Al-Razzaq gives you, you try.
Al-Wahhab gives you without try.
Right.
Al-Wahhab is someone who gives without working.
Right.
Al-Razzaq, he gives after you make an
effort.
And then Rizq comes.
You go to work, you find your paycheck.
Al-Wahhab, no.
Al-Wahhab is Rizq from Allah.
Hiba, Hiba from Allah.
It's a gift from Allah SWT.
Right.
Next question.

We got out of the quiz.
In the name of Allah.
Praise be to Allah.
Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of
Allah.
I ask Allah to bless
all
of you and to honor you.
To honor all these loved ones.
I ask Allah to make us...
Why there is so much noise?
Girls, where are your moms or dads?
Go to your mom and dad.
Go.

Go back.
Please.
I'm scared.

Girl.
Take them.
Everybody will get something.
So last week, we were talking about how
Suleyman took the throne, alayhi salam, after Dawud
passed away.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has blessed Suleyman,
as I mentioned, with so much power.
And we talked about how he was able
to understand the language of the animals such
as the ant.
In fact, there was something that happened I
did not mention.
One day, Rasulullah mentions this.
The Prophet Muhammad used to mention Suleyman a
lot.
The Prophet was praying.
The Prophet Muhammad was praying one day.
In Medina.
And then he made a movement.
He made one step forward and then he
went back.
And then the Sahaba asked him at the
end, What happened?
The Prophet says, I saw Shaytan, he was
coming.
He wanted to burn me.
So I went and I was about to
choke him.
To choke him.
And then I remembered I remembered the dua
of my brother Suleyman.
I remembered the dua of my brother Suleyman.
What dua is he referring to?
What is this dua that he is referring
to?
Yes.
Oh Allah, bless me with some dominion, with
a sovereignty that you have never, never blessed
anyone with.
So if I were to bring this Shaytan
and kill him, The dua of Suleyman, he
wanted to be the ruler and rule the
entire world.
So I let Shaytan go because of the
dua of my brother Suleyman.
This I was given last week when I
performed the nikah.
Not a nikah, a fundraising.
Somebody gave it to me.
This is how much I care.
It's my gift.
So this one has Zamzam.
It has Ajwa dates.
It has honey.
Or it has Miswak.
You want it.
The dua of Suleyman.
I remember the name of Allah, Bless me
with a sovereignty which you've never given to
anyone.
And you will never give to anyone.
And then the Prophet Muhammad came back.
So the Prophet used to use or mention
Suleyman a lot in his speech.
So Suleyman, we spoke about the incident with
the ant.
And by the way, boys and girls, I'm
going to be very very attentive.
When I see someone paying attention, they get
something from me.
Just like last week.
I see you paying attention, You're not paying
attention.
You're paying around, You will have to wait
until the end to get something.
But if I see you paying close attention,
You will win something.
And it's up to you.
So Suleyman, peace be upon him, Something else
will happen.
That all of us will learn something from
insha'Allah.
Something about his leadership skills.
He will come and show how powerful he
was.
Peace be upon him.
The story of the hood hood.
The story of the hood hood with Suleyman.
No, it won't happen.
It won't happen.
He will take this from me and give
me this.
This is now in...
Now he will bring me problems.
No, he will bring me problems.
Where were you?
What was I saying?
The hood hood.
It will show how leader, or the strategic
leader he was.
And this is a message for all the
parents.
Moms, dads.
Judgmental, not be judgmental.
How to heal, how to listen.
How to pay very meticulous attention.
Suleyman was to pay very close attention.
Who is present and who is absent.
Do you know who your kids are with?
When they go out.
Do you know who they are hanging out
with?
Do you know who they play with?
Most parents sometimes they don't know.
Do you know your kids who has a
phone?
He goes to his room.
What does he do with his phone?
What website does he...
What apps?
No, I mean, yes, we trust our children.
But we have to also be very diligent.
So we will hear this and learn this
from Suleyman.
What does someone...
Okay, you.
You.
Don't eat it now.
Leadership skills.
A great vision for a leader.
A leader, to be a great leader, you
have to have ru'ya.
Leadership, meaning vision, is ru'ya.
What is ru'ya?
A great vision, to envision what could happen.
To be strategically thinking all these things.
Yes, I'm visioning, inshallah, when I first started
in this masjid.
I said, I want this masjid to be
packed, to be active.
Not only on Friday, but I want it
to be, inshallah, busy throughout the year until
the end of time.
And I had a vision.
I want the Muslims to come back together.
I want the unity.
By Allah, from my vision in this masjid,
to have a masjid with respect, meaning, a
masjid for one generation, like our brothers, the
Pakistanis and the Indians.
I want the Arabs as well.
I want the Africans.
I want anybody.
I just, one of my mission, I did
not want this masjid to be maybe just
towards our South Asian brothers or sisters.
I want this masjid to be like the
masjid of Rasulullah.
We have al-Habashi.
What's his name?
al-Habashi.
Bilal.
We have al-Rumi.
Who is al-Rumi?
Suhaib al-Rumi.
And we have al-Purji.
Al-Purji.
Al-Purji.
Who is al-Purji?
Al-Purji.
What's his name?
Al-Purji.
I made up this name.
From Persia.
Salman al-Farisi.
Yes.
And we have al-Qurashi.
Ahmad al-Khattab and Abu Bakr.
And we have al-Ansari.
This was the masjid of Rasulullah.
So my vision in this masjid, I wanted
this masjid and Alhamdulillah is helping me fulfill
this vision.
We have the mother of the world.
Egypt.
Who do you think are the mother of
the world?
Egypt.
And we have, mashallah, India and Pakistan.
And we have Bangladesh.
And we have Afghanistan.
Don't think I didn't forget.
We have Afghanistan.
We have Sham.
And we have Libya.
And we have Al-Maghreb.
We have Lebanon.
And we have Palestine.
Free, free.
Palestine.
And we have the mother, if you are
the mother of the world, we have the
father of the world, Al-Yaman.
Right or wrong?
Yes.
The father.
Anybody that I miss?
All of you.
A great vision.
Number two.
Deliberate and patient.
You will see this from Sulaiman alayhi salam.
He was patient.
He was wise, alayhi salam.
Firm.
You will see how firm he was.
What is firm in Arabic?
Shadeed?
No, not shadeed.
Sareem.
Sareem.
Sometimes you need to be sareem.
Sometimes as a leader you need to be
firm.
Nice, but firm.
You will hear this and learn this from
Sulaiman alayhi salam.
Just, what's going on here?
Just tell me what's going on.
What's going on with these things?
I don't know.
People are coming and going.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Yes.
Inshallah.
As you wish.
What is just in Arabic?
In Arabic?
Aadil.
May Allah bless you.
Aadil.
He has to be aadil.
And this is when we talked about being
judgmental.
To hear from both sides.
And you will see this inshallah in the
life of Sulaiman alayhi salam.
A great listener.
A leader who is not a listener, he
is not a leader.
If your husband does not listen to you,
he is not a leader.
If your wife does not listen to you,
she is a great leader.
She doesn't listen to you.
She does whatever she wants.
She is a great leader.
A great leader is a great listener.
Why Allah azzawajal?
Why Allah has given you two ears and
one mouth?
So you can listen more and talk less.
Two more and we don't listen much.
So this is another great skill of a
leader.
The hoopoe.
And we will go to the Quran.
Surah Saba.
Surah Saba talks about this.
Beautiful surah.
About the queen.
The queen of Sheba.
Who is this queen?
Where did this queen used to live?
Where did she used to live?
She used to live in Yemen.
She used to live in Yemen.
So what happened?
The hoopoe.
As Sulaiman a.s. He is meeting with
his soldiers and all the powers that Allah
azzawajal has given him.
Daily inspection.
He had a good vision.
But also he cares.
Where is everybody?
Everybody is here.
There is a very small creation.
Very very small.
Hood hood.
There is jinn.
There is lions.
There is elephants.
Huge.
He is paying attention.
There is one small little being that is
not there.
He has to be here.
In this daily meeting that we have.
Where is the hood hood?
And then the hood hood has gone.
Where is the hood hood gone?
The hood hood has gone on a scavenging
trip.
He goes around, goes around, goes around.
He reached a country called Yemen.
And then he found something weird.
What did he found?
He found a queen and her people are
making sujud.
Here is another.
This is a leadership skill.
But from the hood hood.
If you know this.
This is really amazing.
From the hood hood.
It is not Sulaiman.
I am talking about the hood hood.
Hood hood had a very very interesting leadership
skill right here.
What was it?
Or what is it?
He did not stay around.
He is looking around.
He is just going for something.
What is his skill?
He observed the thing.
But he could observe sitting by observing.
But he did not just sit and observe.
In the back.
The area.
He does not live in that area.
He went very very far.
Somebody who has a vision.
I am a da'i.
Scouting.
It is beyond scouting.
It is not just scouting.
He is a da'i.
Something is going to happen.
So I need to go around and do
my job as looking for people who are
worshipping Allah.
If I see anything wrong, I have to
go and report to my leader Sulaiman.
So he found some people.
He got sick.
This miskeen, this bird.
How can they?
And you will see when he will go
talk to Sulaiman.
He will be so angry.
How?
He will say.
How can they not worship Allah?
How can they dare to make sujood and
worship the sun?
So he was really angry.
So when Sulaiman did not find the hoopoe,
the hood hood.
He wondered.
Sulaiman deliberation and yet firmness.
He will see it here when we go
to the ayat.
He is saying.
What is?
Why I cannot see the hoopoe?
Or could he be absent?
How can he be absent?
He has to be here.
Here is his punishment.
Firmness.
Leader is firm.
What is this?
I will surely subject him to severe punishment.
He is firm.
Or even slaughter him, kill him.
Unless he brings me a compelling excuse.
What is this?
What leadership skill?
Listener?
I didn't listen to him yet.
I didn't listen to him.
I mentioned it earlier up above.
He said, unless he brings me, Fair?
Fair?
Just?
I heard.
Just.
I have to listen to him first.
I am not going to be judgmental.
I am going to kill him.
If he does not bring me a fair
justification, He is dead.
I am going to slaughter him.
I am going to kill him.
He has to bring me a compelling excuse.
Why did you miss Salatul Fajr?
Why?
You know, if I was Suleyman, maybe Suleyman
will come here, he will kill everyone.
Except one line who comes from Salatul Fajr.
Why did you miss Salatul Fajr?
After Fajr we have meeting.
Why did you?
Where were you?
I overslept.
He will kill him.
Now, overslept is not a good excuse.
Why did you miss?
Why did you miss the meeting?
Why weren't you there?
So, Suleyman, he goes, and then the bulbul,
the hood hood comes.
What happened?
He justified his absence.
Ya Suleyman, before you kill me, Okay, I
will hear from you.
Before you make your judgment, hear from me.
Maybe I have a good excuse as to
why I didn't make it to the meeting.
What is the excuse?
Suleyman, this man, okay, he has another skill
right here.
He listened to him.
He gave him an excuse.
Who gave the excuse?
Al-Bird, the hood hood.
But Suleyman, he did something else.
Did he believe him?
Suleyman says, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I need to investigate this.
What is?
There is something happening here.
Hear from him.
Right?
But before I make my judgment, I need
to investigate.
So what's going on here?
What is the skill?
Ya, so what is the skill?
What is the skill?
The skill, the skill, the skill, the skill.
It's not yours.
The skill, the skill.
The skill, the leadership skill.
The leadership skill.
Listening.
He listened.
But then he said, Deliberate.
Deliberate.
To be deliberate.
And be patient and deliberate.
So I did not issue my judgment.
I listened to you.
But I need some evidence.
The evidence is, I need to do my
investigation.
What is my investigation?
You will see.
That's the deliberate.
Not to be deliberate.
That's what I said.
When he heard from the Hood Hood, he
says, Okay, I need to double check.
I need to double check if this is
right or not.
So what did he do?
He sent a letter.
Let's send a letter to the Queen of
Sheba.
Her name is Bilqis.
The very first human being.
The very first man in mankind who wrote
a letter but then he said something.
The very first man who said this in
writing a letter is Suleiman A.S. So
he wrote a letter before in the beginning
he says, The very first man starting with
Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.
So here is the ayah.
Came the Hood Hood.
Ya Suleiman, I found this woman.
She had a huge throne and she had
a great dominion.
The problem is despite all this power that
she has, I found her.
Please, please, I beg you.
Please, boys and girls.
Dad, moms, help me.
You see what's going on?
Please.
Quran is being recited right now.
I found her and her people making sujood
making sujood to this shams and then shaytan.
It is shaytan who actually deviates them from
the straight path.
Then came in his eager.
Came in his anger.
Came in his ghira, protective jealousy.
Came in his concern.
How can they make sujood?
They should worship Allah.
They should make sujood to Allah.
The one who knows what you are.
Hiding.
The one who knows what you may be.
You know, that you're private, you know, in
private or in, whether you are publicly or
privately.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who knows all
that which you have kept, you know, and
that which you have revealed.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And there is this sign.
Had a sign means what?
Sujood.
Sujood to Allah azza wa jalla.
So this is why when we recite this
ayah, the imam normally makes sujood.
One.
Two.
Three.
A letter given to the shaykh?
No.
What is the dua'a in the sujood?
If you know the answer.
It's not subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The dua'a, when you reach an ayah
that has sujood, that is the dua'a.
What is the dua'a that comes out
in the sujood?
The sujood of recitation.
The sujood of hajj.
Go ahead.
Sujood to Allah azza wa jalla.
Let me hear.
Let me hear.
Sujood to Allah azza wa jalla.
Tell me, tell me.
I didn't hear.
Sujood to Allah azza wa jalla.
The one who created the heavens and the
earth.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Who said this?
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
It wasn't in the dua'a.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Who said it?
Umar.
Umar.
Allah azza wa jalla wrote it as it
is.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The one who created the heavens and the
earth.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Who created the heavens and the earth.
Sujood to Allah azza wa jalla.
Who said it?
Don't you have kids?
What is there to do with hajj?
There is nothing for hajj?
Yes.
Is there anything for hajj or there isn't?
Ok, we'll give her.
We'll give her this gold.
Hajj, you want a garland?
From the city.
Give her a garland.
Give this to the aunty.
Alright?
Don't give it to anyone.
And here comes the deliberation of Sulaiman a
.s. We shall see.
You told me what you did and what
you found.
Good, good.
I need to double check.
If you're speaking the truth or if you're
lying.
What are we gonna do?
اِذْ هَبْ بِكِتَابِ هَذَا فَالْقِيهِ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ
عَنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُونَ Ya bird!
Ya hood hood!
Go back there.
Take this letter and go back and throw
it.
And see what they will do.
See what happens.
So the hood hood took the letter that
Sulaiman wrote.
In the letter Sulaiman wrote.
قَالَ In the other...
إِنَّهُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانِ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَأْتُونِ مُسْلِمِينَ That's all he
wrote.
That's all he wrote.
He wrote...
إِنَّهُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانِ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
This is from Sulaiman.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَأْتُونِ
مُسْلِمِينَ Come and submit yourself to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Come and be Muslim.
That's it.
Don't be arrogant and come.
So the bird goes.
And then he dropped the letter.
يَا مْعَلَّمْ تَعْطِيهُمْ أَشْيَاءٍ مَا تَعْطِيهِ I give.
When I see someone paying attention, I give.
I did not see nobody still paying good
attention.
That's why I'm not giving.
أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَأْتُونِ مُسْلِمِينَ What are you
talking?
أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَأْتُونِ مُسْلِمِينَ What did I
say before?
The letter.
He took the letter.
He dropped it.
He flew back on the top.
And then he saw.
How they gonna react?
The queen wrote the letter.
And the queen is also smart.
شِيبَة هَذَا السَّبَع مَلِكَة السَّمَع She is also
very strategic.
You know, she is not strategic.
لا.
She is diplomatic.
How she is diplomatic.
دِيبْلُمَاسِيَة هَتْشُوفَ فِي الْآيَاتِ We will see in
the ayat what she will do.
Or what she will say.
She is gonna try to bribe Suleiman.
She has so much power.
So she says, Let's send him a gift.
To bribe him.
To tell him, It's okay.
Just sit back.
Now we're good.
We don't wanna fight with you.
Suleiman, he has the power of the entire
world.
Suleiman, he even...
He masters and he commands the wind.
Move right, move left.
Suleiman had so much power.
انت بتعطيني candy?
It's like I'm giving you candy.
I don't need no candy.
I have so much.
What Allah عز و جل done on me.
Suleiman became angry.
Suleiman became angry, عليه السلام.
Suleiman got angry and he mobilized a huge
army.
We're gonna send a huge army.
The beginner of this army will be there
in Yemen.
And the last one from the army will
be here in...
Ohoho!
Where was Suleiman?
When can Suleiman?
When can Suleiman?
Where?
Jerusalem.
What is Jerusalem in Arabic?
Al-Quds?
He was in Palestine.
He was in Al-Quds.
He was in Palestine, Suleiman.
So, the beginner...
Do you know how far it is from
Yemen to Palestine?
Huge army.
The front of the army will be in
Yemen.
And the end of the army will be
in Palestine.
That's how big...
They don't want to stay, right?
Will be in Palestine.
And then he said something interesting.
Suleiman has the power.
They are tired, عليه السلام.
It's okay.
May Allah guide them.
What did you say?
The power of Suleiman.
Now he's gonna say something interesting.
I want her throne.
Why, O Suleiman?
I want her throne to prove to her
that she's nothing compared to the power of
Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى.
Can somebody go and get me her throne
all the way?
Because she's gonna come now.
خَلَص.
I'm not gonna accept her any excuse from
her.
She needs to come.
As she's coming, somebody will go all the
way to Yemen and bring me her throne
back into Palestine.
And then some people are saying, I will
give it to you.
Came up a jinn.
Because a jinn that used to serve Suleiman
عليه السلام.
A person from the jinn, he says, I
will give it to you before the end
of your meeting.
He used to meet.
Maroon.
Allah izzak al khair.
Allah karamak.
Had to be...
That's why I'm not giving you.
Because he...
Me too, me too.
When you sit like this and you say,
like this, I'll give you.
He's just smiling.
I love you, Shaykh.
I'll give you.
But you like this, I won't give you.
I gave you the girls, uncle.
I gave you the girls.
What's wrong with you?
I have no strength except...
Let me continue, let me continue.
So a jinn told him, I'll get it
to you before the end of your meeting.
And then another person came and he said,
I'll bring it to you before you rise
from your place.
Came another man, who told him, I will
bring it to you.
Can you guys blink?
Blink.
Haywa, blink, blink, blink.
As you blink, you'll find it next to
you.
And he blinked.
And then the throne was there.
Lo and behold.
And then Sulaiman alayhis salam, when he saw
the throne next to him, he made a
dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, attributing
all the blessings that Allah has blessed him
with to him.
He said, this is from the grace of
my Lord.
They said, okay, listen to me.
You have to hear me.
You have to listen to me right now.
Especially the elders.
Please.
All the story comes here to me.
This is how angry he was, I will
send an army.
That's everything I told you.
Go to surah Saba.
And then he said here at the end,
فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرًا عِنْدَهُ When he saw what?
He saw the throne sitting next to him.
مُسْتَقِرًا عِنْدَهُ Right there.
And then he says, قَالَ هَذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ
رَبِّي This is from the fazl, as you
say in Urdu.
Or this is from the grace of Allah.
لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ I'm gonna ask an
amazing question.
لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ To trial me, to
test me, should I be grateful?
He keeps smiling.
لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ To trial me, should
I be grateful?
Or should not be not grateful?
So all this power that Allah has given
me is a test.
Look how he got it.
He got it as this is a test
from me.
لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرِ
نَفْسِي Whoever is grateful is grateful.
You see when you thank Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
When you thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
Allah will give you more.
But this is only for your own self.
وَإِن شَكَرْتَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرْ لِنَفْسِي وَمَنْ كَفَرْ There
is a difference here.
If you don't do shukr, you will do
kufr.
What does that mean?
I had a question.
Only adults will know this.
If only adults will know.
He says shukr.
يعني if I don't do shukr, I will
do kufr.
يعني إذا ما شكرت هكفر.
زَكْرَ اللَّهِ أَشْكُرْ أَمْ أَكْفِرْ يعني إذا لم
أشكر هذا يعني أنني أنا كفرت.
Is that what it means?
No.
أَشْكُرْ أَمْ أَكْفِرْ يعني if I don't say
thank you, alhamdulillah, that means كفرت.
What does that mean then?
Tell me.
فضلي أَشْكُرْ أَمْ أَكْفِرْ أَشْكُرْ أَمْ أَكْفِرْ Because
she attends my lectures on Thursday.
There is a Thursday lecture every Thursday.
She attends the lecture, she takes notes.
She said it.
What's the answer?
كُفْرْ You forgot the name of course.
كُفْرْ النِّعْمَةْ كُفْرْ You said it?
I didn't hear you but I didn't raise
my hand.
Okay, okay, no problem.
Don't be afraid.
كُفْرْ النِّعْمَةْ Oh uncle, look at this boy's
soul.
Here, right there.
Are we done?
كُفْرْ النِّعْمَةْ As you say in Urdu, نِعْمَةْ
What is نِعْمَةْ?
Blessing.
It is not كُفْرْ أَمْ أَكْفِرْ Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, either you thank him, when
you don't thank him, when you don't thank
Allah of your parents.
Allah may take your parents away from you.
If you don't thank Allah for your health,
for your health, Allah may take your health
from you.
If you don't thank Allah for your home,
Allah may take your home from you.
If you don't thank Allah for your job,
Allah may take your job from you.
If you don't thank Allah for your wife,
If you don't thank Allah for your husband,
Allah will send you a new one.
Allah may take from you.
Always be thankful.
Because we are talking about كُفْرْ Like she
said كُفْرْ النِّعْمَةْ كُفْرْ أَمْ أَكْفِرْ Do you
have this?
Yes?
No?
The twins.
Where was I?
And I was here.
I am not done.
And then the queen arrives.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala trials him.
Oh ho!
Here is another amazing question.
Suleyman, he attributed both because this is an
amazing question.
السؤال Suleyman, he attributed his blessings to Allah.
There is somebody else في حد تاني He
said the opposite of what Suleyman said.
Who is that person?
You raised your hand.
There is another Qarun
Qarun What did Qarun say?
What did he say?
إِنَّمَا أُوتِتُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ What I got is
from me.
It's from my knowledge.
Suleyman, he says it's all from Allah.
But Qarun says it's all from me.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala destroyed him.
So that's a very good thing.
So now what happens?
Here is the queen.
She is arriving and then she meets Suleyman.
Before she arrives this is a diplomatic answer.
This is a diplomatic answer sometimes.
Imagine this.
Suleyman says, let us disguise her throne.
Let's disguise the throne.
Change it a little bit.
Make this here, make that there.
And let's see if she is going to
recognize her throne.
Suleyman, he told his jinn to serve him.
Let's disguise her throne.
And then she came in.
She was wise and patient.
Why she was wise and patient?
When Suleyman told her هَا كَذَا عَرْشُكِ هَا
كَذَا عَرْشُكِ Is this your throne?
She said something interesting.
What did she say?
Yes, it is mine.
She did not say yes, it is mine.
You know, it is.
She says كَأَنَّهُهُ كَأَنَّهُ It looks like it
is.
If I am right, I am right.
If I am wrong, I am still right.
You see.
If I am right, I am right.
If I am wrong, I am still right.
Because I said كَأَنَّهُ As if it looks
like it.
It may, it may not be.
So she was smart in her answer.
It was a very diplomatic approach.
It seems to be the same.
قَالَ نَكِّرُوا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِي أَمْ تَكُونُ
مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَيَهْتَدُونَ Then Suleyman said, discuss her
throne for her to see, so that we
can see whether she will recognize it or
she will not be able to.
It is a test.
فَلَمَّا جَأَتْ قِدَأْهَا كَدَا عَرْشُكِ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُهُ She
says, is this your throne?
It looks to be the same.
قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُهُ وَأُتِنَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ
Suleyman was a Muslim.
So was Isa.
So was Musa.
So was Nuh.
So was Harun.
So was Ibrahim.
كُلُّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ كُلُّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ كَانُوا
مُسْلِمِينَ There was no such a thing as
هَذَا يَهُوْدِي نَعْمْ يَهُوْدِي But the religion is
Islam.
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ Al-Islam.
Then she was told اُدْخُلِي Come in to
the palace.
And then she came to enter the palace.
She's entering the palace and then the palace
looks like it's a river.
Like a river.
So what did she do before entering the
palace?
She She took off her shoes.
Took off her shoes.
شفت كيف القرآن When we do the تفسير
We understand we can connect مع القرآن.
She removed her shoes.
يا فلانة, why did you remove your shoes?
It's water.
I don't wanna...
Suleiman told her, No, no, no, no, no.
It is not.
هَذَا يَهُوْدِي نَعْمْ يَهُوْدِي نَعْمْ يَهُوْدِي It's just
a glass that makes things appear like this
water.
Then she realized that this is not a
simple human being.
Definitely he's a prophet.
قالت قَالَتْ آمَنْتُ Right there.
قَالَتْ آمَنْتُ I believe.
Because despite all her power she saw that
something.
Before, just a minute ago, he showed me
my my throne.
Who was in where?
Who was in Yemen?
And top of that, actually something I've never
seen before.
لا لا لا لا لا لا.
قَالَ آمَنْتُ She said, I believe.
She said قَالَتْ آمَنْتُ So the grand hall
was constructed by the jinn.
The floor was crafted from a thick layer
of transparent glass.
And underneath it flowed water.
The queen lifted her garment to keep it
dry.
At that moment she renounced the religion and
embraced Islam.
What happened?
قَبْلْ هَالِ He said that she was a
Muslim.
We're done with this story.
Prophet Muhammad had many, how many wives?
Nine?
Nine?
Lot of people.
خَلَص خَلَص خَلَص خَلَص أرجع وراء Ten?
That's it خَلَص خَلَص خَلَص I heard you.
I heard you.
I heard you معلم.
Eleven.
Eleven خَلَص Eleven خَلَص How many wives did
Dawud عليه السلام have?
Now you don't know that one.
No.
Only if you know the answer.
But don't just throw a number at me.
How many?
How many?
How many wives did Dawud عليه السلام have?
Hundred wives.
More than hundred wives.
Sulayman عليه السلام, he had one thousand wives.
Why?
One thousand wives.
Something is going to happen here.
These are not true wives.
Just so you know.
This is just a mannequin.
Sulayman said something interesting.
Can you give me five minutes you guys?
And I'll be done.
Keep your kids silent.
Keep your kids.
Two minutes.
How about two minutes instead of five?
Sulayman had so much power.
And he was strong.
So he had these jowari.
When those who come and tell you, your
prophet had this many wives?
He says, yes, your forefather, your prophet, your
great great great prophet, Sulayman عليه السلام.
Sulayman عليه السلام who was sent to Bani
Israel.
Like Dawud who was also sent to Bani
Israel.
You know who I'm talking about.
You don't need me to mention who.
Right?
He had one thousand wives.
You're talking about my prophet عليه السلام.
This is a long long discussion that we
can have maybe one day.
So he had one thousand wives.
So he said something one day.
He made an oath.
What is this oath?
لَأَطُوفَنَّ عَلَى نِسَائِي I will go around in
my hundred wives.
He had at the time hundred wives.
I will go and then so that Allah
will bless me with hundred children to be
all mujahid fi sabilillah.
But he did not say something.
Ameen?
I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
Ya ammi.
So he said, I will.
Okay, he didn't say inshallah.
Who also did not say inshallah and Allah
azzawajal?
Prophet Muhammad?
Who did not say inshallah and Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala?
Hajjah?
Sulaiman?
He was Sulaiman.
He did not say inshallah.
But who other than Sulaiman?
He said, I will do something.
And he did not say inshallah.
Yes.
Ya ajuj wa ma ajuj.
He did not say...
I am wrong.
I am wrong.
Not Muhammad.
I said that man.
I am telling you.
I said not Muhammad.
I already said not Muhammad.
It's not Muhammad.
It's not Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
You said Hajjah.
Come on, tell me.
Who said Musa?
I heard Musa.
Who said Musa?
Allah bless you.
Musa with Khedr.
No, no, it's over.
Musa.
He is mis-saying inshallah.
Insha'Allah, insha'Allah, you shall be happy,
insha'Allah.
So he did not say insha'Allah, what
happened?
He was intimate, sahih, you see where I'm
going with this.
He did not say insha'Allah ta'ala.
So instead of having hundred children, la, he
had no children whatsoever, but one of his
wives gave birth to what?
La, not dead child.
She gave birth to something that he felt
so bad about, and he learned his lesson,
what?
Next week, I will tell you.
Next week, next week, I will tell you.
And then, I didn't finish, I didn't finish,
I didn't finish.
I will finish right now, I will finish
right now.
Sulaiman will do something else.
They start, agad, agad.
Sulaiman, wallahi, one minute, one minute, one minute,
one minute.
One minute, just one minute, one.
Agad, one minute, one minute.
Sulaiman, there is something about al-haykal al
-maz'oom.
There is something about the temple, the alleged
temple.
Because right now, they want to destroy al
-Quds, why?
Because they claim we're way under al-Quds,
agad.
I'm not done.
Ibn-Ki-Bilal.
They're claiming...
They want to destroy al-Aqsa, because they're
saying under al-Aqsa, there is the haykal
of Sulaiman, the temple of Sulaiman.
How true that is?
What is this haykal that they are claiming?
What Sulaiman had?
Did he really actually build something called haykal,
or a temple?
Who built al-Aqsa initially?
Was it really Sulaiman who built al-Aqsa
first, or who built that?
Inshallah, we'll talk about all of this next
week, by Allah's will.
Next week?
No, no, no.
One each, one each.
One each.
One and move.
Quickly.
That's all I have.
I don't have another one.
That's the last one.
But it's full.
Everything is there.
You already took, right?
You took one, right?
You took one.
You took one.
I will finish.
Don't eat the chips inside.
Not to eat anything inside the masjid.
Everything outside.
Outside the masjid.
That's it.
One.
You already took one, right?
That's one.
One and move.
You have two there.
One and move.
Take one.
Okay, that's fine.
One.
Get going.
Where is yours?
Quick, quick, quick.
One.
Go.
Good job.
