00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			when I saw the unforeseen illness a
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			woman you'll believe it Allah.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			Allah, Allah,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			Allah.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:42
			Muhammad Rasul Allah you have an effort. Hola como la oveja como el camino de como de matar
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			at Monza was
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			a mechanical robot, robotic.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			And yet Gemma Ana de
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			la Vela.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:46
			I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala. To bless this gathering, they ask Allah subhanho wa Taala, as he has
gathered us is here upon love to gather us in the company of the Prophet Mohammed is a Southern
Gentleman, Shama and I, first of all I would like to apologize for there was few hiccups. With
regard to this event, it was supposed to be a professional leadership event. So there were a few
miscommunication with very sort of responsible brothers of this venue. So in childhood Tada, yes, it
is now a free event. Those who have paid will get their refunds back inshallah, to Allah. And also,
the initial talk was supposed to be tailored towards those who are professionals, managers, leaders,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:56
			so I'm going to change the talk a little bit in shallow data to make it more of a spiritual
leadership talk in the last class, inshallah hutan.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			leadership.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:39
			Leadership is made of towards leadership, a leader of the ship, and how it manifests carta in Oman.
Oman, who was it? Who is the leader, a leader is someone who can impact others, someone who can
impact others. And we look into the life of the Prophet Mohammed, as I said, I, for instance, and
the life of the Sahaba, you know, and other leaders who had an impact on people. So a leader is
somebody who can impact others. also someone who can drive people into a common goal.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:57
			Someone who can make people buy into a goal, let's say I have a goal. And I need people to follow me
to buy into my goal so that we can all together work into the betterment of this common goal. This
is what a leader really is a leader of a ship.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:20
			Someone with a vision. A leader is someone with a vision, and today, inshallah, I'm going to ask you
some questions. I'm going to ask you some questions, and I do not expect you to give me answers. But
I would expect you to go and think about these questions. And these questions will be mostly
tailored towards the youth. And for me, all of you are youth.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:26
			Even those with gray hair, the cut costs and the touches and all of you are the youth.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			So I'm going to ask you a question shala what
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:40
			you think about this question, but first, I want to take some illustrations from some use some from
some leaders who changed history.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:51
			I will take first of all the example. For instance, the example that too many examples that came to
my mind right now, but I'm going to use the example for instance of a blog.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:59
			Let's use Ibrahim alexina, as the leader, but he was a leader. He was a young man, he was a young
boy,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:07
			a young boy with a vision. What was his vision? He did not like the fact that his people were
worshipping idols.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:19
			He managed to that he was raised in an environment whereby his father used to make articles.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:27
			His father used to make items for him and he said that he asked his mother
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			or mother, who is your Lord, she says, You're that.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			And then he says, who's my dad's Lord, she says, and the mood
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:54
			and he says, who's animals that she says, the God that your father is making in that environment? If
he was raised, his father used to make these idols and they used to worship them. So he brought him
as a vision.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Just like the hood of a man who had a vision
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			Some halala
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:09
			a bird, a tweeter had a vision. He had a mission. When he went flying into,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:18
			from from from where Sulaiman was all the way to Yemen, and he found some people worshipping the sun
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			was sent to her
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:33
			daughter in law. He came back to school a man telling him I found a woman and her people worshipping
the sun and Gunilla, they were prostrating to the sun.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			Even sometimes animals can be leaders.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:44
			But we learn so many things. In fact, I learned so many things from this, from this from this trail
from this bird.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			He has a mission. In fact, he was supposed to be in this meeting with a man
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:06
			but he took action. He was not reactive. He was proactive. He went on. He went to Yemen, he found
these people worshipping the sun. And then he came back to Salina to tell him listen, there are some
people who are worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:20
			He was so protective jealousy that he had this bird he was jealous. How can these people worship
something other than Allah subhana wa Tada. So
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:27
			he found his people worshipping idols. So he went and he destroyed the idols.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:45
			When he does show the idols he loves an axe with their big one, the big one, they came back found in
all the items being destroyed. And then they said, who destroyed our idols? Carlo Sameer in
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:47
			your corner
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			who speaks Arabic?
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:55
			But you
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			can also send me an
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			E sharp. He said Yeah.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:19
			We heard of a boy. We heard of a boy. He was not an old man. He was a boy. Oh boy by the name of
people
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			that came by Hey,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:41
			did you destroy idols? He said, as the big one. As the biggest guy. You see, he's got the asphalt of
the Apollo. And then they said what you know that they can't get him to see these idols can't hear
no see. Then he goes back he says how can you
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:54
			do all three, Your Worship? You are seeing yourselves you're admitting that you are worshiping
people things that cannot hear nor see. And then what did they say? Look what they said they said
how
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			much
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			how we call this what you learn here. Really what you have to learn
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			to understand and properly learn how to
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:23
			hear what he says. They said how are we cool just like with us the valet setup you said you know
what? idea hoonah Katana vs. La
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:45
			la la in a form of exaggeration how we burn him. Not only burn him, it's been rated that they build
up some fire base in fire for over six months. They came to talk about him into the fire came to him
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			the angel who told him he ended up
		
00:08:51 --> 00:09:06
			getting any help. He says from you know but for Allah has to be alone when you're in Mega Wilkie. He
had his trust on Allah subhana wa Tada. He put his trust on Allah subhana wa Tada. What did he say?
He said has to be Allahu
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			Allah is sufficient for me.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:21
			This is the the aqeedah that we should build. as Muslims. Nobody can harm you. If Allah does not
want to harm you, you shall not be harmed.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:35
			If Allah does not want to benefit you, you shall not be benefited. If the entire mankind from
ancient g they get together to benefit you and Allah does not want to benefit you, you will not be
benefited.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:45
			From a surgeon, they try to get together to harm you. But Allah does not want to harm you, you shall
not be harmed.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			You shall not be harmed.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:59
			Says has to be a key ally sufficient for me. He was totally to the fire later on. If I was asked
this question he says Yeah, what was the sweetest
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			moment in your life.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:06
			What was the best days in your life? He says the time when I was thrown into the fire
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			has to be a lot when you're working alone is sufficient for me.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:38
			The flute can the beauty from Allah subhana wa tada saying, What is Allah said? Y'all know Cooney
what Salah man oh fire be cool, be cool and peaceful on Ibrahim hut Allah subhana wa tada said on
fire be on Ibrahim, Ibrahim.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			Well Allah
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:47
			but Allah says ya know, Connie Bowden was Solomon. We could and peaceful Ibrahim
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			did the fiber him?
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			Yeah,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			I'm talking to you.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			Yeah, why the fire didn't burn him.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			Because the fire is a creation of Allah. It burns with the clear with the permission of Allah.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			The fire can only burn with the permission of Allah.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:28
			So is the knife. It can only kill with the permission of Allah. The same thing happened.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:42
			Imagine imagine your dad is here. Okay? It's good that I can even
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:53
			if let's say if your dad any further, any further here. You see a dream. Go and kill your son. What
would you do
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			to build that battery?
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			nightmare.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			Abraham saw dream.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			Go and kill your son sacrifice your son killer.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			vision of prophets is revelation.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:18
			prophets get revelation through dreams through gibreel two ways.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:43
			So when he saw a dream, that was a vision, Allah telling him to go and kill his son, Ibrahim Hassan
Edison, who was a leader, and his trust in Allah was so strong that he did not question anything. So
as his son, he had no questions. The father went to the son, he says, Son, I signed the dream die.
So I'm sacrificing. The son says yeah.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			Oh, Father, do as you
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:01
			do as you were ordered. The son did not run to the mother. Say Mom, Dad has just gone crazy. He's so
true to kidding me. Yeah, he went and he says oh Father do as you will
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:09
			do as he will order so he took his son and then he went at the center of him that don't kill me like
this.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:19
			Like this. You will look at me You may feel some pity for me. No, put my head down and slaughter me
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			so that you don't look at my eyes. I want you to fulfill the orders of Allah.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			So he did
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:57
			put his face down. He brought the knife. What is the characteristic of a knife? What can a knife do?
A knife cuts and knife kills a knife chops and my dad thinks it the knife does not wanted came. The
knife does not want to slaughter. In fact, the body moved, moved his hand he did try to start but
the knife was ordered by Allah subhanho wa Taala of the slaughter.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:08
			Why? Why? Because the knife is also a condition of Allah. It can only kill with the permission of
Allah. They understand. Okay.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			So as the poison
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:22
			as a lead, and I mentioned this a few times to some of my students the story of Carmen when he went
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:30
			he got caught. And then we'll say my dad, the one who declared prophecy.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:46
			He got caught and then he found some poison in his head. He says What is this? He says this is
poison. If I were to get caught, I'd rather eat it and die rather than go and be imprisoned. So hard
It said, Do you think that this poison can kill?
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			You think that the poison can kill?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			He took the possesses me show him give it to me, but smella and the agents
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			and the movies
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Hola
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			Hola. Hola.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:11

			the fire not to burn, the fire did not burn. The poison not to kill the poison did not kill
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:55
			leaders with a vision, with the color of Allah with the feel of Allah with piety was righteousness
who delegated first to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			another example look
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			This story was mentioned
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			in Sahih Muslim
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			and also mentioned in
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			in solid
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			by Hamas in you have a long time ago that was distinct

			through the West,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			holy you're from Yemen. Now your friend.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

00:16:51 --> 00:16:59
			shadow shadow will teach you how to set pronounce it right, though with that. Not Not what does that
mean? When I say good?
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			What was I saying?
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:10
			This guy is man distinct in Yemen. He declared that he was got
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:24
			long story. I'm going to shorten it for you and summarize it for you came a boy who learned about
the hate of Allah subhanho wa Taala. This boy who learned about the oneness of Allah subhanho wa
Taala.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:51
			So what did he do? He learned it through some sort of magician, another magician who was a priest,
because the game sent him to learn about magic. But the boy on the way to the magician, he made this
priest and these priests taught him the religion of the hate of the religion of the oneness of Allah
subhanho wa Taala at the time. So the king found out about this boy.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:18:13
			And then he told him to denounce his religion. Book. He says, obioma My Lord is Allah. He asked him
to denounce his religion. He says, I'm not enough in my religion. He threatened to kill you. He
threatened to kill him. He says you can do whatever you want. I am not denouncing my religion of
boy, Elisa. But
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:24
			look what I can do, like I said in the video can have an effect or an impact on the entire nation or
not even entire nation.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			So as the Prophet Mohammed is upset,
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:41
			they took the boy he says I'm going to kill you, he ordered his soldiers to take him into the sea
and throw him into the middle of the sea. They went, tried to kill the boy. The boy said this.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			Allahu mcsweeny
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:58
			Allahu mcqueeney him or Allah, you take care of them in any way you wish to take care of these
people in any way you wish, or a love you take care of them in any way you wish. Allah.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:16
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says the boy and get all the ups. Now the boy who's a leader who's got a
vision, he could have run away, but he came back to face the king because he's got a message to
deliver to the king that you are not God, the God is Allah.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:34
			The system who impressed itself today, I pray to Him today. And I heard about the system who
embraced Islam here today. And as soon as the share one thing in her Lama, she started crying.
People who understand the meaning of La ilaha illAllah
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:41
			when I was in the woods, with the added natali in the back of a condom
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:57
			when the non Muslims when the they all gathered into confederations, and then they attacked the
Muslims. They outnumbered and then they attacked the Muslims. And then came the idea of of digging
the trench and come back. You people know what I'm talking about.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			And then came in
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:08
			One man by the name of Allah, who has a strong horse, he was able to transcend that trench. And then
he went to the other side. And then he called for dude.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:15
			At the time without us before the war, they called for dudes who can face me.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:23
			Just like they did in bello. He called for dude. The Prophet says, Who can go for this guy?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			Who can go he was eight years old.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			An old man, but he was so tough.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			People used to get scared of him.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			Mothers, if the kids didn't want to go to sleep, they will say go to sleep.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:47
			He called who can face me the provinces who can go to the sky when
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			nobody wanted to go?
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			The tough sahabas were there. But nobody wanted to face this guy.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:56
			To the
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			provinces, they are not you.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

00:21:14 --> 00:21:18

00:21:21 --> 00:21:27
			For the third time the provinces man Yahushua. Who can go to this guy Shanna is guaranteed.

crying. The
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:44
			the natural inclination kicked in la isla is to worship Allah.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			He says
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:54
			he won't be able to kill me. I'm going back to the story of the kid. He says you won't be able to
kill me.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:07
			Did he religious is not nothing else in my religion. Then he took his soldiers go get rid of this
guy, take him to the top of the mountain to him from there. They took him to the top of the
mountain. As soon as they wanted to throw him the kid says
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:14
			one more time. You take care of them in any way you wish.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:54
			Any way you wish to take care of them is if you are in fact May Allah forbid, you don't happen to
find yourself in in some sort of a calamity or some mercy by May Allah forbid again, you know
Satan's Doha Allahu mcweeny Hindi magic and Allah shall take care of them in any way you wish to
find out what are the mountains shook. Everybody died except the boy one more time he said he could
have run away he could have changed, towns changed you know went away but he chose to come back and
face the king because he was leader who has a mission to deliver or a message to deliver. He did not
refer to himself. Leaders normally for themselves.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			He told him you won't be able to kill me.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07
			The only way you'll be able to kill me is if you position me by a tree
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			and then before you aim to shoot at me
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:21
			and you have to bring all the people from the town they have to witness this look this is very
important that brothers very important I hope the sisters are listening. Are you listening?
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:23
			Yeah.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			I'm talking to the sisters not listening. Close I say.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:43
			Now, before you shoot me position me by a tree but before you should you have to call the people of
the town invite and they have to see this. Because the message is coming through you have to bring
them and pull them they have to see this.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:55
			He brought everyone he positioned me by tree and this is before you should you have to say out loud,
not not out loud Bismillah
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			In the Name of Allah, the Lord of the boy
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			One more time is the name of Allah, the Lord of the boy.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:11
			There were generations first generation the guy did not say this. He shot a mystery.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:19
			And then the second time he said, this may lie in the Name of Allah, the Lord of the boy. Yeah.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:29
			He's saying the Lord of the boy shot, he died. But the entire town embrace the religion of the hate
of the time.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			What did the king decided to do?
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:43
			He decided to kill them all. And burn them on Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned this incident in
salt, bamboo. What
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:50
			was the crime? The crime is that they chose to believe in Allah subhanho wa
