00:01:07 --> 00:01:48
			As always, brothers and sisters in Islam We begin by praising Allah subhanho wa Taala. We praise Him
we seek his assistance, we seek His guidance and we seek refuge in Him from the evil of ourselves
and the adverse consequences of our deeds. We testify that whomsoever Allah subhanho wa Taala guides
men can misguided whomsoever He must guides the man can guide and we request praises and blessings
upon the final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I believe it is that there's no one
worthy of worship besides one Allah and that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is His messenger

And welcome to episode number 11
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:53
			of our season for blast from the past Sierra in the 21st century. Now obviously, since we've reached
Episode 11, that naturally means that hunger has given us consistency thus far, it means that 10
days of Ramadan has passed and that means a third of Ramadan has passed to Pamela. And how fast has
it come to a close and as is a principle in Islamic jurisprudence Subhan Allah a third is a lot of
Phyllis was full of Kathy, as is attributed with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, of course
in a different context, but it's become famous within Islamic jurisprudence that a third is a lot
and as such brothers and sisters in Islam, we need to take a moment to revise our first 10 days,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:39
			look at our successes, and also understand where we might have slipped and try and make note of that
and try and implement some changes to ensure that the next 10 days can be free of those slip ups. So
at least we can reduce those slip ups in these 10 days and no doubt we need to use these 10 days
well in preparation for the ultimate 10 days of Ramadan. And that is the last 10 nights of Ramadan,
the best nights of the entire year and the nights, the nights which house the best night of the
year. Laila through the night of power and decree and virtue. We asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to
accept our first 10 to bless our next 10 and to make this Ramadan, the best Ramadan ever. Brothers
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:57
			and sisters in Islam. In terms of our journey with blast from the past, this Season Season Four, we
spent a good amount of time on the Battle of the Confederates. We were taking lessons within the
narratives and then we also took a pitstop in which we focused in on
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:40
			the benefits that we can take from the portions of the stories shared in the 21st century. And today
also we want to do the same. We want to take a second pitstop and really focus on those lessons,
because at Hamza, we've covered the narratives. So we want to focus on the lessons then we will move
on to the next part of the Syrah and that is the expedition or the journey to Banu to burn up arriva
right let's not forget benu carova and their role in this whole siege. Meaning as the CG began in
what they did, as we've discussed recently, but before we quickly go into the pitstop lessons or our
second pit stop, and take the lessons I promised yesterday that I want to share with you some
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:54
			highlights. There's always highlights in the in the story have been well, mostly for the event of
Bedouin mystery. There was a highlight which I think I was sharing with you a couple of highlights
number one was the verses pertaining to
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			the law of karma, right how to attain rich
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:42
			purity in the absence of water, right? So this revelation happened in association with the
expedition of almost tallac. And that's the highlight. Okay. Another highlight from the expedition
have been well metallic was the son of Abdullah ibn obey event cellule, the head of the hypocrites
his son, he was different to his father. Right, his son was a believer in the truest sense. And his
allegiance was to Allah and His apostle sallallahu alayhi wasallam before his father, and when he
heard of his father's actions, he actually went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and said,
you know, if punishment is meant to be laid on my father, let me take care of that punishment
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:49
			because indeed, he has a people who are sincere to Him, who are loyal to him. And if they see that
it's me,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			you know,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:25
			carrying out the consequence of his actions, that the situation will be lighter on them, as opposed
to if it was your messenger of Allah Subhana Allah Subhana Allah, look at the face of this boy, but
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not permit him to do anything. But when they got to
Medina, this boy blocked his father from entering Medina, he said, You will not enter until the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gives you permission. And remember, his father was telling the
people do not spend on the mahadji rune so that they can leave the messenger and then we will banish
them from Medina the honorable office meaning the answer, we will banish them Oh Ha Joon, and here
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:53
			his own son is blocking him from Medina, saying, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has a
greater right to Medina than you and you will not enter before he gives me permission. So these are
and that's why I always encourage you that you know, we are not doing the narrative kind of program
here, we are just tapping zooming in and zooming out. Why? Because in there, there are lessons that
we can use today. But as for you, let this program also be an inspiration for you to pick up a Syrah
book and read the finer details or read the gaps that
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:03
			you know, there are then actually because of the nature of our program, in terms of the Battle of
the Confederates, we do have these highlights, for example.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:44
			The Tafseer or the explanation of the middle Salah Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says in the Quran,
halfway through and a Salatu was Salam. Allah commands is in the Quran to protect and preserve our
Salah, especially the middle prayer. Right now the screen is different here, what is meant by the
middle prayer? And the answer was found in a statement of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam
during the siege of the Confederates during this whole battle of the Confederates right when the
siege happened, because remember we said on day two things were so intense that they missed four
consecutive prayers, and he said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in this narration
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:24
			isn't Sahil Bihari in relation to the Battle of the trench? He said, may Allah fill their meaning
the disbelievers fill their graves and homes with fire, just as they have kept us busy, away from
the middle prayer until the setting of the sun. So some scholars looked into this and they said that
this means that the middle prayer refers to Salah to Lhasa because he's referring to the prayer
until the sunsets and the prayer that happens before the sunset is the answer prayer. This is a
highlight that from this event, scholars have studied the Syrah and they've pulled this out and use
it to explain what this verse in the Quran means and no doubt.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:32
			It is beneficial in terms of the science of the seer and understanding the Quran. Also from the
highlights of this particular
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:47
			siege, or this whole event of the Confederates is Sophia robiola, who remember earlier we said that
one of the strategies used by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to ensure that everyone had
the presence of mind to do what they needed to do. He
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:26
			put into place a process to protect their families, so they didn't have to worry about their
families. And part of this included that they were moved into the center of the city and they were
put into a high fortress. Okay, so they were all kept there. Now, by no paraiba when they broke the
security pact, they became creative. Remember, some narratives say they tried to send food and they
started using brazen language with the Muslims or one of the other things that they did was they
thought, let us enter Medina because we have access to Medina and let us take the wives and children
of the Sahaba. Let's take the the women and children of the Muslims or let's take them and take them
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:40
			captives take them as slaves. Let's take them. But to do this, that to make sure that there wasn't
anyone guarding them, so they sent a spy. When the spy entered Medina and came close to them, Sofia
robiola her and her, she
		
00:09:42 --> 00:10:00
			she sends this and she took note of this and she acted on it. She took a stick she went down the
fortress and she struck this spy and the spy passed away. So Pamela, she struck him as he became
diseased and obviously because he died he couldn't go
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:40
			back. So when he didn't go back and look over understood that, you know what, there's men guarding
them, it's not that they're all busy, they're at the trench. They also have a contingent of men
guarding these women and children. So there's no point us going in because it will be a fear, of
course, a fierce battle between us and them. So they decided to leave it, and avert the attempts to
try and capture these women and children's panela. So she played a phenomenal role, right, and many
people try to point fingers at Islam and, you know, Islam, keeps her female backward and keeps her
covered and keep some modest and, you know, keeps her face covered, keeps her hair covered, tries to
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:16
			keep her in a box in a glass box and lock the box. And, you know, know this, if you look at the
Syrah, they were there, in fact, part of the highlights of this particular now that I mentioned it
we should mention, one of the highlights of this battle is we could say that the first Muslim
hospital came about right in season three, I discussed this concept of mercy to never we being like
the Ministry of Health, because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam used it to treat the injured
when they came back from or hurt. But in terms of the Battle of the Confederates, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam asked for a tend to be erected by Masuda gnabry, to be specifically used
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:27
			as a sickbay. Right, as a form of hospital. And this hospital was was under the stewardship of
Lefevre. And I'm sorry,
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:42
			she was a female. And she was in charge of it. In fact, when Saturday when more ad was hit by the
arrow, and he was severely injured, he was sent from the place of the trench to this hospital. And
he was treated under
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:43
			the
		
00:11:44 --> 00:12:03
			leadership of this lady. So females had a role to play, but in a way that doesn't contradict the
values of Islam. Right. So these are some of the highlights, brothers and sisters in Islam. Okay,
let's quickly move on to the lessons. Now, as I said, we did cover lessons during
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:20
			portions of, you know, during portions of the narrative, as well, like, for example, setting up
people to succeed and not to fail. And this whole concept of leadership from the front, and
leadership from the back, and so on, and so forth. But here is, here are some of
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:30
			the lessons that were in my mind when these narratives in particular that were shared to you were
chosen to be shared number one, brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:50
			Always Be yourself. Be true to you. Do not try and be someone else. Because if you try and be
someone you're not, you're going to be exposed one day, you will be exposed. Right? Like the
hypocrites were exposed in this particular battle.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:03
			Right? The people of three men, they were exposed in this particular siege. The treacherous ones,
they were exposed, as well. Right.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:26
			The the man of the Sahaba, the females, the male's the children of the Sahaba it was made manifest
as well. And exposed well during this the siege, right? So always be true to who you are. If you
speak, speak what you mean, right. It's important. If you give advice, be sincere in how you give
advice.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:34
			Don't give advice. If someone comes to you sincerely for advice and you give advice in a way that
has ulterior motives, you will be exposed
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:41
			not to forget you sinful from the outset. But then you will be exposed and then you will be
disgraced.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:55
			And if you true to who you are, then people will know you for who you are at the beginning. It's not
a case of you being disgraced because people didn't know who you are. And if you are true to who you
are in the positive sense according to the values of
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:20
			the gods and values, then you will be celebrated. Like we celebrate the Sahaba radi Allahu anhu
legendary, and we detest the hypocrites, and we detest the treacherous ones. So everyone is exposed
in from them were people that were loved. And from them were people who were hated. Right, because
of their actions. That because of what they did, no one put a gun to their head. They chose to be
who they were.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:30
			And consequences of life are real. So that's number one. Number two, and we've said this before, do
not allow people to walk in your head with their dirty feet.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:59
			Right? Remember the portion of crab is an asset. When he was visited by his cousins from Bonneville.
They went to him even after they were banished and he knew they were banished. He knew that they
tried to produce against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and miserably failed. And now they
settled somewhere else by haber. And in fact, in some narratives, it is said that when the
representative of one another went to camp, and they told him what they wanted to tell him to cause
him to do
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:43
			Leave to break the security pact with the Muslims and join them. cab said to them, that you are a
cloud without any water. You come in the form of a cloud but you have no substance. But then what
happened? He allowed them to walk in his head with their dirty feet and convinced him and what he
did led to the entire downfall as we will see in the expedition of North Korea. So don't allow
people to walk in your head with the dirty feet. someone tells you something, value your mind. value
the trust with the people around you. Think about what that person said. Take Shura. We spoken about
Shula this mutual consultation speak to the people who you trust people who love for you to succeed.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:01
			speak to them, ask them what's your view on this? This is what I heard. What do you think I should
do? I'm thinking of doing this? Is this a good idea? This is from the Sunnah of the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasallam and we have the best people. Number three, do not be naive. Not everyone
who comes to you in sheep's clothing is sincere.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			foxes they can come to you looking like sheep.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			Allah homestand the foxes here but no no.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:57
			But bunu carova sodoma sheep, they since he advises the one was best for us. So looking good for the
Muslims. And they failed miserably at the end. Allah Hollywood Allah Emery, Allah subhanho wa Taala
is all capable, and he is the controller of his affairs. Number four, authenticate before acting.
And we've discussed this well from season one to season four. This is the way of Mohammed Abdullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam kind of feel rasulillah he can Allah configure rasulillah he also has in
the messenger is a perfect example for authenticate, authenticate, even if it's from a sincere
person, because the sincere person could have misunderstood the event. Sometimes we say no, I trust
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:09
			this person with my family. I trust what he says okay, that's fine. But he could have been mistaken
in what is understood is a human being not so at the end of the day. So please authentic and look at
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:18
			he authenticated, he sent a Zubair when he sent the seniors to further verify what they understood
from what he saw.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:18:01
			Number five, set up people to succeed and not to fail. We spoke about this limit within the
narratives, right? And we also see this in sort of to care for example, and many places in the
Quran, when advices are being given even in a subtle way. And so to recap, today's Friday, we have
weekly in the story of the people of the cave, when Allah subhanho wa Taala caused them to wake up
and they were hungry. They said February I had a conviviality coma heavy, send someone with your
money with 7% someone with the money to the Medina, right? Could you go back to the Medina, so that
what they can buy food for us? What did they say? Did they just give the person money? Now they gave
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			you money? And they said well, he
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			said go and being conspicuous. Go and be
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			in conspicuous
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:40
			why no one should find no one should remember who you are. If you exposed then we all we all will be
doing you will be doing that we will be doomed because we know why we run away from these people
they wanted to kill us because we said La ilaha illa Allah because we want to worship one Allah
they've waged war against us that's why we've run away so go ensconced on going and in conspicuous
way purchase the product. The purest of product halaal look even telling him by that which is pure,
because they are a people who practice Sure.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			So they helping this person they setting him up for success.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:19:20
			That's what Cincy advisors do. And we see this, in how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
advise people towards self advise them go and don't take whatever he told us today for making sure
you don't act, don't do anything to cause them to regroup against us. And with emphasis I could have
killed the goose up on that day but I remember what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and
withheld and Subhan Allah at Fatima care, as we will see in sha Allah for Allah gives us life and
time to get there. Abu sufian becomes a Muslim and then he fights in the Muslim armies of Abu Bakar
and, and so on and so forth and they conquered places Subhan Allah, Allah had something else within
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:29
			fabu Sophia, even though at this part of the Sierra when we read about Abu sufian you can't help but
feel indifferent. But he's a companion. And we say what the other one
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:41
			was Sophia is famous from all our seasons from the especially the season three of the caravan of
better and then overheard. And now what's happened here with the Confederates.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			Also brothers and sisters, in fact, from the lessons we learned,
		
00:19:46 --> 00:20:00
			that Allah subhanho wa Taala he brings help to his true slaves, and he answers the door of the
oppressed. And we saw this in the miracles that Allah subhanho wa Taala gave the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:25
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now miracles are for profits, but Allah subhanho wa Taala does
honor his righteous people with what is known as karma. Right? A lot of them were to Pamela.
Something happens in their life that's beyond their ability to understand how it happened. That's
Allah honoring them. Right? So no matter how bad things get, don't leave the straight path. Right?
Don't doubt your connection with the Lord of the worlds. Keep at it. Allah is all wise as to why
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			the help you seek is delayed.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:56
			And never forget. It was never bad for you. And it was always good for you. As we discussed during
the Great slammed against Sharia law, and also brothers and sisters in Islam. We learned from the
story that revelation comes before our thoughts before what we think is right before what everyone
else thinks is right. Or is right. Because where do we get this from? From the discussion of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with the two sides.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:04
			Remember, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke to them about his pre agreed deal with the
Hata van.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:27
			What did the two sides say? Before they spoke? They said O Messenger of Allah. Is this revelation
from Allah? Or is this from your own personal reason? So they said first, why? Why did they say
that? Because if it's from the revelation of Allah helaas, there's no need for anyone to think about
anything. It's a done deal. revelation comes before what we think
		
00:21:28 --> 00:22:04
			what Allah decides comes before what we think even if we are united. And it's a theory it's a theory
it's a theory. Because the, the the Nation of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam as the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, cannot unite upon misguidance. They will not unite against
eponymous guidance. But they asked this is what Allah said, No, okay, if it's not what Allah said,
The no messenger of Allah, is this something that you you love? You're doing it for you? We put a
line in his messenger first. Are you doing it for us? The Prophet said, No, it's not a revelation.
And I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing it for you. Then they wait into the discussion. And this is
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:23
			the way of the believers. Right? And we touched on earlier about the power of do and we know the
miracle of the wind King, so we should never leave to our brothers and sisters in Islam. No matter
how tough it gets, no matter how long it lasts, never ever think I'm making the I'm making the
wisdom from Allah. No,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:52
			no, no, no, no, no, keep on making sure you are never at a loss when you make dua to Allah subhanho
wa Taala. Right. So the key point making into the siege lasted weeks, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam continued with Torah, and when the how came, it was phenomenal. The next lesson, live for
each other and not against each other. We get this from jabber on the other hand, when he went home
to his wife, after he saw the stone tied to the stomach of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:29
			And he knew the Sahaba were hungry. So he said, Oh prophet of Allah come you and one or two of you,
because that's what we can manage, live with each other. Unfortunately, today, brothers and sisters
in Islam Subhanallah Chopin has Spanish against each other. something good happens to someone we
feel sad about it. We wish it happen to us and not to them. You are allowed to wish it happened to
you. But you should never wish that it didn't happen to them. Be happy for other people. jabiru was
willing to give his food to the Prophet live for each other, for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala
because Allah wants you to be selfless. What is food in front of the Messenger of Allah? What is
		
00:23:29 --> 00:24:00
			food in front of a human being? Allah has honored the human being and Allah has made food and wealth
and every matter of this world subservient to the human being, how can I fight a human being for
food or for wealth over something which Allah has made subservient to the human being whilst he
honored the human being? So love for each other? We learned this from your brothers and sisters in
STEM and this all together culminated this access. If one of these values that I'm sharing with you
wasn't present, Allah knows best what what would have happened? Would they have succeeded?
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:45
			I mean, think about this a siege against 10,000 people ready to annihilate you trained warriors, and
you succeed. This shows you how the little things matter and they're not little things, the big
things but today we think the little brothers and sisters in Islam so live for each other, be happy
for each other. Somebody else buys a car, celebrate it like it's your car and make sure that Allah
blesses that car or whatever they get. Some somebody else fails at something, treat it as it as if
you failed and be there for them as you would love them to be there for you and see how you can help
them get over this failure. That is the way of the believers and Mina Mina to both of whom earlier
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:45
			over.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:57
			Marula Bill maroof went whoa in there any longer. Well up Muna Sala oh you tuna zeca Well, ut aroona
Allah Rasul Allah Subhana Allah, Allah,
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:58
			Allah
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			This is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:33
			You want mercy from Allah, you are mercy from Allah, love for each other. We need to do that
brothers and sisters in Islam and this is a reminder to me first and foremost. Allah says the
believers, the believing men and the believing women are helpers to one another. They are supporters
to one another. They invite collectively towards good and they forbid collectively evil and they
establish collectively the seller and they collectively give this occur and they collectively obey
Allah and His messenger. Allah says they are the ones who Allah will continuously shower His mercy
upon
		
00:25:36 --> 00:26:00
			the next lesson, learned that Allah is upon all levels now 10,000 men you thought annihilation
balloon paraiba thought annihilation balloon now the thought annihilation. I'll have a fun came
because they thought it's going to be annihilation. We will get our fruits the courage thought
Enough is enough. This is the moment we're going to crush them and and and relieve them to the pits
of history. Hmm.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			But who is above everyone brothers and sisters in Islam?
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:21
			Allah subhanho wa Taala and that's Allah subhanho wa Taala says, or della Hoon levena cafa Ruby on
uv malami Anna Lou hi euro waka meanie
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:45
			Gan Allah who co E and azeez those who just believe in their rage, not having obtained any good and
sufficient was Allah for the believers? Yes worker fabula hephzibah. worker fabula he will keela
worker for Allah who menial kita Allah was sufficient for the believers in this battle.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:59
			And Allah is Ever all powerful and Exalted in Might never forget this brothers and sisters in Islam,
no matter who oppresses, you know above them is Allah subhanho wa Taala. And he is all capable.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			Finally, brothers and sisters in Islam, understand
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:30
			that Alliance is based on material benefit, there will always be fragile and weak alliances based on
on business partnerships, based on just the marriages taking place, and not for the sake of Allah,
the fragile and weak, they will only last as long as the interests last and that's politics,
brothers and sisters in Islam. Talk about what did they politics? What is it about?
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:41
			There's no friends or enemies in politics. There's friends if our interests are aligned, and we
enemies if our interests are not aligned. That's how it works, very fragile.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:51
			And who decides what constitutes an interest being aligned and what constitutes an interest not
being aligned, I can tell you now set the Quran in the sun.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:04
			Those are fragile partnerships. And that is why Allah has a place underneath his earth for those who
love each other for the sake of Allah. Because that Alliance is one booth one enough
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:45
			that there's no material benefit, financial standing or material well being we're trying to generate
or create here in terms of us being together. I am I love to visit you. Because for the sake of
Allah, I feel my Eman increased when I visit to you, my Muslim brother, my Muslim sister. And
together, we raised the flag of the heat and you feel the same towards me. And for these people.
Allah has a place underneath his arm from the day of Ghana. So yes, whilst truth versus falsehood is
one religion. But the unity of falsehood is a very weak and fragile one. so fragile that it took one
of them becoming a Muslim to go back and wreak havoc between them.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:29:10
			So Han Allah. So those are the lessons immediately we can take from this brothers and sisters in
Islam. And as we said, we want to move on to the expedition of canoe korova. We're going to take a
bit more time today, so that we can at least be true to the title of today's episode because the
title of today's episode is an introduction to biochar rover. So Al Hamdulillah the CG is over. The
non Muslims are returning back to where they came from.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:26
			empty handed Yes, did they lose definitely. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the
believers come back to Medina exhausted, wanting to put their feet down their weapons down. And so
they do.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:59
			But then what happens? gibreel arrives and gibreel says the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are
you putting your weapons down on messenger of Allah? Allah He the angels haven't put their weapons
down. So get going with those that are with you to buy new coryza For indeed I am going ahead of you
to shake their fortresses and create fear in the hearts panela the habit jabril beam okie you Bri
went with his contingent of angels rushing there. He says I'm ahead
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:15
			Have you don't delay follow me they no doubt they will commander but Allah subhanho wa Taala the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam immediately commands the Sahaba to get up and get moving and he
says to them, no one from you should pray Salah to the answer accepted by Luke or Eva.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:21
			Leah you Selena hadn't sat us relax Illa if you burn your current
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:43
			Well, there's a there's a story here. Let's take the story quickly we can take the lessons later.
What happens the Sahaba get going. As they get going, they see the sunsetting which means that a
sort of time is ending. So they said let's stop to preset up to the answer. So our group said no,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said don't pray Salah to the answer until you get to
belcarra
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:58
			the others have said no Salah has been set at fixed in prescribed times. We have to pray before
sunset as what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said he said it to mean go as quickly as
possible to Balu Cordova and don't delay.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:32
			He was just trying to push us to go he wasn't saying that stood out to the outside is delayed until
you get to Bhanu Cordova today. So they had a difference of opinion. So some pray they are on time
and others didn't they prayed when they got to Bhanu Cordova after sunset, and we'll discuss that in
the lessons because when the when they met the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam It was the first
thing they asked him the Messenger of Allah this is what happened. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam did not fall to any of the two groups, but there's a deeper discussion you will take
during the lessons inshallah. So they rushed to Bucharest, he said that the messenger sallallahu
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:50
			alayhi wa sallam left for 3000 men 36 of them horsemen. And what did they do? They went and laid
siege upon the treacherous ones, just like the Confederates laid siege on Medina by no Araiza was
surrounded. And some sources say they were surrounded for 25 nights.
		
00:31:53 --> 00:32:08
			Why? Well, they were ready for the Muslims to be killed and taken as slaves. They wanted to go from
behind and take the Muslim women and their children as slaves. They broke a security pact. They
weren't a problem that shouldn't have been a problem.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			So they deserve everything they're going to get.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:23
			People families and wives and children here that they were willing to put on the line and none of
their women stop them from doing it. They allowed them to be treacherous.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:28
			So when the punishment falls, it falls on them as a community.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:33:11
			Anyway, the siege happens, it gets too much for blucora they start feeling the effects of a siege,
no food, no water medicine, so on and so forth. So they send a message out and they say can we
request Lu Baba even abdomen please send us lubob so we can discuss a solution. We are comfortable
discussing the solution with Luba. Now it is said that this was due to Lou barbers allegiance with
Bhanu Pereda before he became a Muslim. So they had an allegiance they had a relationship before
Luba became a Muslim. So they felt let's we comfortable with Luba, we know him he knows us. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam sent rhubarb. Now obviously Lu Baba knows the plan of the
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:33
			Muslims. He's not supposed to disclose it. And lo Baba goes there. And Luba sees the state of the
women, they're crying, he sees the state of the children they upset, they're crying, they're hungry,
and so on and so forth. So they asked Luba that listen, what do you think we should do? What is
what's going to happen? What's going to happen, we give up, we surrender, what's going to happen?
And Lu burba.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:34:05
			It's human nature. You know, the Sahaba. They were, you know, as you can see, success story after
success with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi. wasallam sends them in, and they succeed. And we spoke
about this yesterday that you lift yourself up to a position where you do more right things than
wrong things. And this was the case with Uber, but he had more right things, the wrong things, but a
human being will slip up somewhere along the line. And we don't forget that we're humans. But for as
we said in yesterday's lesson, it shouldn't be a case where you always slipping up the norm is that
you slipping up. That's not we have a belief. The believer is he slips up sometimes. And when he
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:17
			does, he holds himself accountable, because he holds himself to higher standards. As we will see
what rhubarb rhubarb is an answer to them. He did this. He took his his hand and he plays he he ran
it across his neck.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:23
			Right? He ran it across his neck, which means what? It's going to be a slaughter.
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:33
			If you surrender, there's no mercy that you're going to see for what you guys did. Now he wasn't
supposed to release this information.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:39
			So he left and when he left, he immediately knew what he did was wrong and that he isn't.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:43
			He knew it, but he gave away a sensitive secret.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			But he held himself to account.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:59
			And even he shared one of the writers on the Syrah. He says that Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed
about this matter, about Luba, a verse in Surah, two and fell, in which Allah says yeah, you are
Latina, amarula tahunan
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:10
			la hora Sula with a Hulu magnetical. Wanting to element that oh you who believe do not betray Allah
and His messenger or betray the trust whilst you know of the consequences.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:26
			So it is said that it was revealed about him now Luba immediately went back to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and immediately said What happened? He immediately said, What happened?
And he went, and he tied himself to a tree beside machine to nibble
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:31
			on a tree that is part of machineable Allahu Allah, this, when you look at
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:58
			the narration about this, you you know, both understandings come about, meaning a tree that was part
of most you will never we In any case, right, we know the magic number, we had pillars, and these
pillars were made up of tree stumps. Meaning, meaning the tree stump, right, they made up these
pillars, and also there were trees, around the masjid, and trees that were part of the masjid as
Medina was known for today trees.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:20
			He went to one of these pillars, and he tied himself to these pillars for six nights. And he said he
will not untie himself until Allah subhanho wa Taala forgives him. Right? And his wife used to go It
is reported his wife used to go and untie him so he could make will do and pray Salah then she would
have to tie him again. And this is how it was until Allah forgave him.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:40
			And Allah revealed what a Haruna uttara will be the loopy him hello to me and slightly here for a
year as Allah who a year to lay him in the lava for him. This isn't sort of to tober But yeah,
you'll Idina Avenue, lead to hula, that isn't suitable and fair. And the two sewers in the Parana
next to each other and in fact, joined to each other.
		
00:36:44 --> 00:37:15
			The meaning of this verse is Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed and there are others who have
acknowledged the essence, they had mixed a righteous deed with another deed that was bad, perhaps
Allah will forgive them and turn to them in forgiveness. Indeed, Allah is the most forgiving, the
Most Merciful. And when this verse was revealed, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam knew it was
about to Berber and he smiled, and he told us how Bandha so how about rush to lubob and said untie
yourself. Allah is forgiven, you know, barber said no, I won't untie myself until the messenger
antis me. And then the next morning when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came for fudger he
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:26
			untied now today, if you go to the Rosa, right the Rosa in Machito gnabry. Right The Rosa which is
the place between the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is home, I show his home and
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:40
			and his member. This is known as the roba. There's a pillar there is a pillar there. If you look for
the fourth pillar from the member, and the second pillar from the grave,
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:49
			you will see in Arabic it's written on the pillar, or stornetta tober. The pillar of October. That's
what's written on it.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:38:27
			This is the place the pillar that Luca tied himself. This is just a bit of history. We're have
general knowledge for you in case one day you go to Medina and you have a look at this police and
you read the sign you know what happened, why this pillar is called what it's called. Now the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam said about Luba but when he went in tight himself, the
messenger said, if he had come to me, I would have asked Allah to forgive him. But now he has done
what he has done. I cannot untie him until Allah forgives because he's tied himself and said I won't
leave until Allah forgives me to handle Allah. So this is the story of Alibaba. Now, from this
		
00:38:27 --> 00:39:11
			discussion, we'll be doing Bhanu paraiba and Luba Balu. korova understood that helaas our fate is
sealed in whatever happens is going to be punishment. So they sent a request and said we will
surrender ourselves. However on condition that sad even more eyes decides what the punishment should
be when we say seniors have cancer so they thought you know what, so let's add even more as he
decided he will be lenient with us because we have history together. Now remember that you are sad.
Yesterday we discussed it when he was hit with the arrow he said yeah Allah, if you if you if this
if this but you know, he said Allah subhanho wa Taala if this battle is meant to end and don't cause
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:21
			me to die until I see until you grant me pleasure with regards to blucora because he knew what bunu
Korea did and he went and witnessed it himself that we spoke about it yesterday in terms of the
executive order.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:59
			inshallah, you can go back to yesterday's lesson to see the exact way he made but from it was this
that he asked Allah to keep him alive until his heart is pleased with regards to the treachery of
abou of Bhanu Kaurava obviously Balu Perez I didn't know this they were basing it on these worldly
or previous worldly associations. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam sent for for sad we were
sad. Remember he was injured? He was at the 10th Hospital. Why must you remember we said was brought
on a donkey as some narration said he was carried on a donkey from Medina to rule and said rules
that only capital punishment will apply to burn forever for many reasons
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:07
			Easily number one, they treachery. Number two, they happiness for the Muslim women and men to be
taken as slaves and captured behind the Muslim armies back.
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:40
			And also number three, if sad just ruled that they be banished like the previous cousins, then they
will go settle somewhere like Bonneville did. And they will become a problem for us tomorrow like
banana there was they went and brought an army of 10,000. This wasn't something that Muslims thought
about when they vanished, but who knows if the last time so he felt there's nothing that is
appropriate, except capital punishment, they should face the penalty for their choices for their
actions for the harmful choices that they were making. And also, but another and others should learn
from this,
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:45
			that they shouldn't mess around and instigate the trouble in the region.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:41:08
			Now, brothers and sisters in Islam, there's many lessons that we can take from this. So we will end
here for today and inshallah, we will dedicate tomorrow's lessons or sorry, tomorrow's lesson to
discuss the lessons that we can deduce from the story of Bulu kureta that helped us today in the
21st century, insha Allah as always, I love you all for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala and I
acknowledge and
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:44
			openly state that everything correct is from Allah subhanho wa Taala and he's perfect and any
mistakes are from myself and she upon and I seek Allah subhanho wa Taala has forgiven us, brothers
and sisters in Islam. As we said at the beginning of today's episode, a third of Ramadan has gone.
ask Allah again, to accept what has passed and to bless and inspire what remains we all aspire to,
well, what Allah take us from strength, to strength, and grant us all better than we dream of in
both worlds. I mean, Europe will alameen until tomorrow, may Allah preserve us in his obedience. I
mean salaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah who overcut
