Most gracious, the most merciful,
and all praises be to Allah,
and blessings and peace upon
the final messenger, our beloved
prophet Muhammad.
Peace be upon him.
Dear brothers and sisters,
and welcome back to our series
about
the shadows.
Our hero tonight
will be about
Sayedoon
Al Hala o Ibn al Hadrami.
Sayedoon Al Hala o Ibn al Hadrami,
he accepted Islam
in early time,
and he was
one of.
He was
one among the writers of Quran, of revelations.
He was the one who wrote the Quran
after
prophet Muhammad
was reciting, and they used to write
Quran.
Prophet Muhammad
when he sent
them his messengers
to other
places,
he sent Sayyidun Al Halah, Al Hadrami,
to Bilad Al Bahrain.
And he sent,
Sayyidun Al Halah to the king of Al
Bahrain, and Sayyidun Al Halah was very smart
negotiator
person,
and he
has
a lot of wisdom.
And he,
make sure with the the king of Al
Bahrain,
there is no single drop
of blood.
And he accepted the Islam because of the
unique way
that Sayedoon Alhala,
called the king of Al Bahrain.
When the king,
submit
himself to Allah
accepted Islam,
and all his people
followed him, and they accepted Islam.
And prophet Muhammad
told Saydun Al Hala,
stay over there to collect the zakah
from rich people and to return it back
into
the needy people.
And he stay in Albharin,
for all this longer time until prophet Muhammad
passed
away.
And Sayyiduna
Abu Bakr Sadiq,
he used him also
in the same position that prophet Muhammad
gave to him.
But after
prophet Muhammad
death,
you know, a lot of people in Arab
Peninsula,
they returned back to
the kufr.
They changed their religion.
And Sayeduna Abu Bakr as Saudi when you
look at Al Jazeera Arabia in that time,
only was Al Madina,
which is the city of Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Salam, and Mecca
and Ata'if. Only these three cities
were protected,
but the rest of Arab Peninsula
was
subhanAllah. Most of the people, they returned back
to Kufr.
They changed their religions
into another religion. And Sayedun Abu Bakr, he
was very strict.
He sent ten
different armies.
He sent Ashrat,
Jujush,
Limuqatalet,
Al Muqtad Din to fight against
Al Muqtad Din,
opposites
just to return them back
to the religion of Islam.
And he had a biggest problem,
the people of Bahrain.
Because
the people of Bahrain,
there is a man, his name Al Hatamu
no
Dubayah.
Al Hatamu no Dubayah,
he was a leader of Al Bahrain in
that time,
and he encouraged people
to change their religion. And he claimed
that if Mohammed
sallallahu alaihi wasalam, a true messenger,
he's supposed to remain
alive in this life. But because he's a
liar and he passed away,
and
all the kingdom of Al Bahrain
followed him
and listened to his
command
except one small village
called
Juwatha
because
Juwatha
had
one
companion.
He meant he went to Al Madinah in
the time of Rasulullah SAWSALAM, and he learned
about Islam.
His
name, Al Jarood
ibn al Mu'allaha.
He was living in this
small town called
Juatha,
and he gathered his people and told them,
do you know that there is a previous
messengers before prophet Mohammed sallallahu alaihi wasalam? Say
he said yes. And he told them, do
you know that they passed away or they
remain in this life? They said they passed
away. And he said, what is the difference
between the previous messengers and
prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam? All of them are human.
All of them, they have to return back
to Allah. Only Allah,
he is the eternal,
living one, almighty Allah.
And the people listen to Sayyidna Al Jarood,
and they
stay in their position. They did not change
their religion,
but the rest of the kingdom of Al
Bahrain, they changed their religion. And Sayedid al
Abu Bakr, he was worried a lot
who is the good leader,
very wise leader, to send him
with the army
to fight against
Al Bahrain, against,
Al Hatam of Nudubaya
in the kingdom of Al Bahrain.
And finally,
he found Sayyiduna al Ala ibn
al Hadrami
because he used to be a messenger of
our beloved prophet Muhammad
to the king the king of Al Bahrain,
which is Al Munther
ibn Sa'wah.
Al Munther ibn Sa'wah, he accepted Islam,
and he stay a Muslim, and he passed
away as a Muslim in the same month
that prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam passed
away. And Saeedullah Abu Bakr, he,
made his command to Saeedullah
to take your army, to take the fighters
with you, and go directly to Al Bahrain
to fight against those people that they changed
their religion.
And now
when Sayyidina Al Ala decides to take the
the book of, Sayyidina Abu Bakr Sadiq,
and he prepared his army,
and there is no other options
when they need to go to Al Bahrain,
they have to pass
by
the desert of,
of, Adnah.
Adnah, which is they call today Arub Al
Khali,
you know, the the empty quarter
in the desert in Saudi Arabia. It's very
dangerous.
No one
can can walk through this,
area.
And he took his his people,
and they arrived the camels, and they went.
They spent days nights.
And suddenly,
one night, they were tired. They were exhausting.
And they said, we cannot continue.
We have to take a rest, and tomorrow,
in the beginning of the day, we will
continue. When they decide to just
take some rest
in in in in this area, it look
like there is some ghost or what happened.
Allah knows,
one camel,
he got scared,
and he run away. And all the camels
that they have in that time, they run
away behind the the first camel. And the
camels has all the food and all supplies
and everything. The water, the food, the supplies,
the even the weapons. SubhanAllah.
And they tried to run behind the camels.
They couldn't catch them. And the camels disappeared
in the middle of the night, in the
middle of the dessert dessert.
No no hope at all.
And most of the those people, they were
sitting
just waiting for death. This is the exact
word. And they advise each other,
you know,
to give
to each other. And Sayedoon Al Aali, he
was a leader of of this,
army.
He he he told people,
just
put your trust in Allah and make sure
you you submit yourself to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. You left your houses. You left your
family, and you're going for the sake of
Allah, for the cause of Allah. I'm very
sure
Allah will not waste our offer and our
time and just he
helped them out to change
their attitude and to change their belief about
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And they slept
for the rest of the night.
When the second day, they woke up for
fajr and they did tayammum. They hit the
ground
when they with the dust and make tayammum
and prayed
fajr. He led the prayer. After he finished,
He faced
the people and he make dua. He did
supplication
to Allah.
The light of the day did not come
yet, but it was dark. But he did
supplication,
and he they used to say Amin after
him. After he finished,
suddenly, they look around them. They found a
big lake of the water.
For the first moment, they thought it's a
mirage.
It's a you know, when you see when
you go in the middle of of the
summer, you can see water in front of
you, but when you reach the area, it's
nothing. It's mirage.
And when they
arrive into the area, they found that It's
a real water. SubhanAllah. And they started
magnifying Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
When you feel really that
this is the end, this is no no
hope after that, you have to to to
make sure this is the glad tidings that
Allah
sending for you to put your trust in
him, almighty Allah.
And
they they they drink from the water. They
took a shower, and
after
few hours, by the mid of the day,
they look
over there. They saw, you know, some
dust and some,
people walking, and they were scared.
Who's those people they come
they to kill us. We have no weapons.
No have no food. No SubhanAllah.
Suddenly,
when the the dust came close to them,
they found their camels that they run away
during the night. And the camels came to
the water to drink. All the camels. And
the camels have,
subhanAllah, all the supplies for Muslims army.
And they
thank Allah
and they
ride their camels, and they continue to reach
the kingdom of Al Bahrain. When they arrived
just to see,
it was very difficult time for for all
of them except Sayyiduna al Alaa
ibn al Hadramay, our hero tonight.
He never lose hope in Allah
He encourage his people
to put their trust in Allah
When they reach the place of Al Bahrain,
they dug a big trench
to put themselves to hide themselves,
and they surround the place
for almost a month.
And every time they try to fight, but
there is no way,
to,
conquer the place and to enter into
the kingdom of Al Bahrain.
And you remember when we when we mentioned
only one village
was protected by Islam
because of,
Sayyiduna
Al Jarood ibn al Mu'alai.
He talked to his people directly, and he
said,
you you cannot follow
the rumors in the town to say if
Mohammed is true messenger, he's supposed to remain
in this life. And he explained for them
all the previous messengers of Allah passed away,
and this is why prophet Mohammed
passed away. And the the,
Al Hakam,
he surrounded
this small village
and just
no one is able to go out
or to to come in. No one is
able to to give them financial help, and
he said, let them die slowly. But when
Sayyiduna al Alaibnu
al Hadrami
arrived, he sent
one person
to Sayyiduna al Jarood ibn Mu'ala. He told
them, we came to help you out just
to prepare yourself and the people with you.
When we decide
to attack the kingdom of Al Bahrain,
you will help us from inside
the from your village. You will support us,
and they agree together.
And after a month,
they were surrounding
the Al Bahrain
and Sayyidun al Allah.
One time, he heard a lot of noise
inside
the the the the the city,
and he sent one man. His name,
Sayyidun Abdullahi
ibn
Hudhaf.
Sayyidun Abdullahi ibn Hudhaf,
he he has,
some
relatives
inside Al Bahrain
from his mom's side.
His uncles from his mom's side was in
this in this city,
and all of them, they returned back from
Islam
to Quf. And he sent him and told
him, just go to discover the area, figure
out what's going on, why they they make
a big noise like this, and come back
to me. Don't do anything. And,
Abdullah ibn Khadaf, he went
to the place,
and the soldier of Al Khattam Abno Dubayyah
arrested him.
When when they arrested him, and he called
one name of his
cousins from his mom's side.
His his his name,
Al Abjjar. And he said, oh, Abjjarri. Oh,
Abjjarri. And he heard, you know, his voice.
He went, who you are? He said, I'm
from your side, and I was passing
here, and the army of Al Hatam, they
arrested me, and they bring me here. And,
you know, and he did
intercession
to Al Hatam
and released him. And he said, I'm so
hungry. I need to eat and give me
some,
transportation to go back to my city.
And he was eating very
slowly
to make sure
that he will have all the informations
what's going on. And after he ate and
he executes himself
and al Abjjarhad,
he gave him, you know, the transportation
and sent somebody with him to make him
in the safe condition
until he passed the army of Al Hatamu
Ibnudubayyah.
When he returned back to
and he told him,
you know, they they, they are celebration.
They are celebrating. They have a celebration,
and they
all of them, they are drunk because of
the celebration
that they
had. And this is was the good moment
for Sayyiduna Al Ala'udnil Hagrami to attack
the the the city and to
to fight against them in this,
golden moment that Allah
prepared
for Muslims army. And we will stop here
tonight, Insha'Allah. And tomorrow, we will continue
in the second part for,
our hero,
