Sadullah Khan – Legacy of Badr

bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al

hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Salam aleikum wa

rahmatullah wa barakato.

We are on the eve of the 17th of Ramadan.

And 14 142 years ago on this day,

an epic battle took place,

the monumental battle of either

the first major battle in Islam

and a turning point in the history of the Ummah,

a distinguishing day in the legacy of Islam,

a day mentioned by name in the Quran as Yeoman Furqan yomo

tackled Gemma on a day of criterion, the day on which the

two armies met.

And as we take gurus army come in a spirit in Namibia, profound

lessons from the life of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa early

was seldom

we realized that the battle of whether provides complex lessons

on many levels social, political, spiritual, military, tactical, and

at a humanitarian level. And therefore Of course, there are

numerous lessons we can learn from the legacy of the Battle of buzzer

suffice it for us to reflect upon three of those.

Remember the Prophet sallallahu ala was selling him and his family

and his companions had hardly migrated from Mecca to Medina.

They were a few months in Medina

and the Mexican army of approximately 1000 well armed army

seasoned fighters came to attack the Muslims in Medina

and that is when the battle of whether to place Muslims in

defense of the faith after having been persecuted and come to

Medina, some were still in Abyssinia.

And it was the first time that Muslims were given permission to

take up arms. Up till this time. There were numerous Ayat even on

jihad, but not related to guitar not related to fighting. And then

a verse was revealed about taking up arms over in any levena ukata

Luna be unknown Lulu we're in Allah Allah nursery him la Kadir,

a Latina woman Dr. In behind the hurricane in La Jolla, kulambu.

Nola, permission to fight is now given to you

who are fighting against those who are attacking them. Because those

who are being attacked the believers have been wronged.

And surely Allah is able to give victory to the believers.

The lesson we get from this first part about the ordinary Lavina

about the permission for battle. Muslims who are peaceful, you

don't take up arms. But after 13 years in Makkah, under Qureshi,

persecution, ostracization, victimization, exclusion,

oppression, property, confiscation,

and even attempted character assassination and assassination of

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and now there was a

declaration of war. And therefore, the Muslims had to defend their

faith. So the first battle that took place was a defensive battle,

not one of attacking, and Allah gave permission for Muslims to

take up arms for the first time.

A second lesson we learned in any leadership situation, whether in

business, whether in institutions, whether on the battlefield,

whether in a company whether in a school,

in any leadership situation, we find the leader, the followership

and the situation. Just having a good leader, depending what the

leader is leading, and depending who is leading, and depending on

the circumstances, you may have an excellent Imam, but doesn't mean

you make a good manager, you may have a great manager doesn't mean

him a great Imam or a principal for that matter. So depending on

the condition, so leadership depends on leader, the

followership and the situation which is being led or that

requires leading and for leadership to be effective. The

right leader for the particular set situation with dedicated

people leads to success. Now Muslims here we're not fighting a

well trained army. By the way, don't forget, these were migrants

who came from Mecca to Medina, some of them live in the property,

some of the families who still over there.

So they came with nothing. They came here trying to establish

themselves. They were like refugees in this place, you know,

and now there's an army attacking them, and a well trained army of

1000 people.

And it's very easy to lose heart in such a situation

One

and one of the companions, the great companion of YOLO, and MC

dad been Amaroo Bharani. Originally from Hadramaut in

Yemen. He assured the Prophet

Tama me today had been Amaroo for Karla ya rasool Allah, in the Lima

Allah Allah Fernando Mark,

do what Allah has commanded you proceed, we are with you Wallahi

learner kulula Kumar call it blue Israel in the Musa il hub and Tara

Buka Cadila in Na Hoona car I don't we will not say to you what

the followers of Moses said to him, you and your Lord go in

fight. We shall be watching and sitting in our seats, but we say

to you well I can now call in have a replica for Katella we say to

you, you and your Lord going fight for naganuma Can McCarthy alone

and we shall be fighting with you together. Now no mark Makati

alone, nothing is more empowering. And in a world of in a world full

of betrayal. Today, nothing is more empowering than faith and the

support of the faithful, especially in the darkest hours of

your lives. When things may seem hopeless, the most valuable thing

at that time. The most valuable asset in those times of difficulty

is to have the assurance of those who are near and dear to you. For

if they betray you in that hour. You really feel hopeless,

sometimes you more disappointed about them not supporting you,

then the hardship you're facing. And the third lesson among the

many lessons 313 members who could only muster 313 men, the best he

could do. These were the truest heroes of Islam. They overcame

1000 Fighting formidable army three times the size, where the

odds were stacked absolutely heavily against them. While a

cadet nasaga Kamala will be battling one to Avila for the Kula

halala contest Quran Allah says, Allah helped you better when you

were an insignificant group of people. No small number in other

words, so be conscious of Allah, that you may show gratitude. The

lesson of other among the many lessons about this situation of

313 against 1000 is a great example for us from this history.

That teaches us victory depends not on numbers come in three

Utting Cadila in halibut three, attend cathedra tambien nila, how

often have a few seemingly insignificant group of people

overcome a mighty force. Allah is with those who patiently

persevere, you see the struggle for truth, the struggle for

goodness and for justice, which many of our Muslim leaders in the

Middle East don't seem to know at all.

The struggle for truth for goodness and justice is always

about the quality of people, and the goodness that they stand for

the quality of the person leading the quality of the people and the

quality of what you are standing for.

Rather than the amount of people rather than the amount of

believers don't forget at her name, the Muslims for the first

time outnumber the enemies. And the Muslims were running at the

beginning of that battle. We almost lost the battle at buttons.

They were few in number. So it's not about numbers, rather than the

amount of believers who fought it was the quality of people and

quality, always times quantity of Kulu kolyada was the federal law
