00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Have been a man on earth who is
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			followed in all his doings by his nation.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			People who sleep in the man he slept
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			in, purify themselves in the man in the
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			man he did, and here just practicing the
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			way they eat, drink, and clothe themselves.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			And all aspects of their lives trying to
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			follow
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			these basic
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			footsteps.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			And to follow him in
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			every aspect such as
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			how he greeted people, entering, leaving the house,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			entering, leaving the masjid,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			sleeping and awaking from sleep, observing the moon,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			observing new food on trees, eating, drinking, dressing,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			riding, traveling,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			returning from travel. All these things are covered
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			as well as all the other aspects of
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			worship, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, charity,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			all these issues.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			And remember that the leading people of the
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			religions who met him, when they questioned him,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			he answered them.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			And they choose they chose to follow him
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			after they witnessed the signs of his truthfulness
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			and the evidence of his miracles,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			and they did not do it after compulsion.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			And
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			this is
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			also
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			the fact that
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			if the Quran did come from him,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			then why is it that it mentions
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			corrections of him?
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			Why does the Quran correct him? And not
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			just on not on big things, but on
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			the things that we would consider very small.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			That
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			that that how would a man correct himself
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			on something that nobody would have cared about?
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			The fact that the prophet
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			when he was when he was addressing
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			a group from the Quraysh,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			the dignitaries from Quraysh,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			that a blind man came up to him.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Obviously, he doesn't know what's going on. He
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			runs to him and he was asked him
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			a question. The prophet just frowns at him,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			and he's a blind man. So he didn't
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			even notice that the prophet was
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			slightly annoyed by this.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Why would the Quran
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			correct him
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			on something that nobody really even care about?
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			None of the none of the the people
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			who were with the prophet objected to this.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			And then and then mention a good 8
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			to 9 verses.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			Mention this. Why would why would it do
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			that?
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			So, again, this shows that he is not
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			an impostor or charlatan
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			because he there was no motivation.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			All the motivations are finished.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			You can eliminate them 1 by 1 to
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			the point you can only conclude
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			that he is
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			a great he is a truthful, trusted messenger.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			And this is why
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			And your companion is not mad.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			Why does Allah not say Muhammad
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			is not mad, or the prophet is not
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			mad? He says
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			meaning your companion, meaning that you, Quresh, have
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			known him for 40, 50 years. You would
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			know if he was mad.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Isn't that right? Isn't it that even the
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			people that you've known in this in the
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			Islamic society for 3 years, you know if
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			they were mad.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			I'm sure there's some crazy buzzers. You would
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			know if you were properly mad. Right? You
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			would know if they were mad.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Say imagine somebody who's called who is the
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			who's the kind of person that people leave
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			their belongings with for many years, and they
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			call it masala tal ameen. They call him
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			that by their own tongues.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			That's why
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			Allah mentions this. You are you know this
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			man and you then throw these basis accusations
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			towards him. And witchcraft?
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			Come on. We know what the sign of
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			witchcraft are. You'd be doing crazy irrational things.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			You will become you will be having the
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			best of manners. You'll be coming with profound
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			messages.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			Would you?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			And when you say this to atheists, how
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			about atheists, they have no answer to this?
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			Because they know that there is no answer
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			to this,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			except
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			the fact that he there is,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			God and that he did send a truthful
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			messenger down. This is amazing proofs about the
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			prophecy. They're very simple. They're not very complicated
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			proofs, are they? They're they're very simple. It's
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			just basic logic. They can speak to a
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			nuclear physicist
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:28
			or just,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			or just your local news agents about.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			Very
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			simple. Plus the fact that he suffered.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Suffered. He was the golden boy of Quraysh.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			The one that they love. The one that
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			they cherish. The one that they got involved
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			in everything, the one that that his his
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			grandfather was so proud of.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			That's why it was such a shock to
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			him that that his people didn't accept him.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Such a shock to him
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:02
			because
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			he he because they
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			saw him as
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			as as somebody who was
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			one of their own,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			somebody they should consult, somebody they are honored.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			And that's why when he suffered what he
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			suffered,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			they're not even stoned and died by a
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			bunch of children. They couldn't even be bothered
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			to come out themselves.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			They had to send their children to do
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25
			it,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			and he's bleeding. And he's saying
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			that that as long as you're not angry
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			with me, Allah
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			then I
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			do not care what they do.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			And this is not the sign of a
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			charlatan or crazy person or some who's bewitched
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			at all.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			So
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			it is impossible that any human mind or
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			any is going to come up with something
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:57
			which
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			describes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's knowledge such as
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			the ability and the knowledge and the greatness
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, which is transmitted
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			through the Quran.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			And it's not in the ability of any
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			human being
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			to place a perfect law based upon justice,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			equality, mercy, mercy and objectivity
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			for all human activity, human activity on Earth,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			like the laws that the Prophet Muhammad SAW
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			was born.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			For all spheres of human activity like buying,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			selling, marriage, divorce, etcetera. And remember, this was
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			implemented from the West to the East,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			from
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			Spain to China.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			How can a book or any constitution or
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			any ideology rule such a vast range of
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			people? Even communism couldn't do that.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			Communism tried. They had to have different flavors
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			and even in the end, it only last
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			it didn't last a 100 years.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			So this in itself is also a sign
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			of
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			the mirror of the miracle of the message
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			and the miracle of the messengers.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			And,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			really,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			one has to
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			accept
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			and if you discuss with any non Muslims
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			that
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			whoever denies this, it is very easy to
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			understand why they will be punished in *
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			if they die of combat
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			because to deny this
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			is really
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			sort of asking for it.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			To deny this
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			and to
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			be stubborn about this and to belies this,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			then you're preparing your seat in the hellfire.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:39
			And
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			as we know, the justice of Allah
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			is so sublime
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			that even the people who will be punished
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			in * forever will acknowledge Allah's justice
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			because they will witness against themselves, won't they,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			on the day of judgement? Yeah. Every part
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			of their body will witness everything against them.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:58
			So they
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			therefore,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			that is a sorrow that they will face.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			They will not be able to drink from
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			the noble hand of the prophet
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			at his pool,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			neither will the innovators.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			Neither will the innovators. The innovators are those
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			people who
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			try to distort the deen of Islam after
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			the prophet
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:20
			passed away.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			So it's a warning for those people who
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			call themselves Muslims
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			about the innovation that they commit.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			And as the angels usher them off, he
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			saw them, they're mine. They're mine. They're mine.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			They're mine. These are the people who are
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			who are my companions in the hereafter, meaning
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			the Muslims.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			You see, and then angels say, you do
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			not know what they invented after
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			you after you passed away.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			You you will you do not know what
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			they did.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			And this is a big crime in Islam
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			to distort the people in Islam.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Off it obviously makes sense. How do we
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			think the other religions came about? They started
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			by distortions. Right? People distorted the message because
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			if something is perfect,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			taking away or adding to it makes it
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			not perfect. Right?
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			So this is what happened with all the
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			other religions and all the other messages rather
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			because the religion of Allah is 1.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			Allah is God is not the author of
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			confusion. He said one consistent message. That's why
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			the Quran
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			rhythmically
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			mentions when it talks about what the prophet
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			said,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			whether they were sha'aib or Hud or all
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			the other prophets,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			they say,
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			your Lord is 1. Worship him. We do
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			not ask you of any reward,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			monetary reward for this because it's the capture
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			of the messenger.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			There's nothing in it for him. There's no
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			other motivation except to preach the truth,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			and a lot of them suffered because of
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:47
			that.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			So, brother, I mean, it it this is
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			something really to take quite seriously that we
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:56
			have this responsibility.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			We need to really carry this message and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			embody it.
