So these were four months that were designated as temporary
reprieve from that, like a truce. ceasefire. Those ceasefire months
were these four months three of them came one after the other and
one by itself. So the one by itself is called the Rajab, which
is the month before Shabbat. That's why it's called those will
be felt, because of the individual month because it's the only sacred
month that is isolated doesn't have a month before it or after
it. That's also a sacred month. And then the three that are
together are the cardinal Hijjah and mahalo three after each other,
and those are the three months of hajj and that's why the tribes to
get from one end of the peninsula to the another probably would take
maximum
two months, maybe month and a half, because from Mecca to Medina
by cabling is about two weeks, 10 days. So from one on to the next
you could probably make it by caravan from one place to the next
within a month or so. So people will want it to make Hodgins would
hate. They had all of the Lada and the first 10 days by which to get
over to
to Mecca. But if you lived in a more outlying area, even that's
not enough, this is going to be significant when we come to the
end of the Hadith, why that's important.
Because then they would be at the mercy of whatever warring tribes
were there, and they would attack caravans and they would rob them
and read them and so forth.
So
they said we can't come in, except in this month. And one of the
narrations that this month they came in was Raj
Raj of being the month that's by itself
will be NACA, Obinna Welaka, the high human Safari model, and
between us and you is this tribe of model, which was the
modal is the Qureshi was from Moodle. So Quraysh is a sub tribe
of Moodle. So it's a more general tribe. So he said, there in our
way, every time they come through, they're going to molest us and
they're going to bother us. So you know, we can only come during this
month. So give us something more than a bit ominous, firstly, give
us something we could come away with, for we may not come back.
And something we can tell the people when we get back to them.
And with it, we can enter paradise. So these are Muslims,
but they want something specific from the province micellar. And
they also asked him about their drinks.
Remember, alcohol was kind of the national pastime in the peninsula.
And it was something that was quite important to them. And so
they wanted to see, can we still drink in our old vessels that we
used to drink something else, and maybe the thing will not
will not ferment, and we can drink it anyway, this is kind of the
questions they're asking.
So he said,
he commanded them to four things that prevent and he forbid them
for things. So first, he said the Imen
the lead.
So believing in Allah subhanaw taala.
And that's the one worship
that is the first obligation, everything else is secondary.
And everything else will have no meaning unless you have Amen, of
Allah subhanaw taala. And so working on your Eman actually is
quite important.
Once you're Muslim, right, we say you have basic Amen. Other words
you believe in Allah subhanaw taala. And you believe in the
unseen and things that
the Prophet SAW Selim came with. But it doesn't stop there. Because
now we're talking about
certainty in that Amen. And the certainty the level of certainty
in the event can vary.
Why does it vary because your actions betray you. So if you
claim to be very certain in your Eman, but nevertheless you make a
lot of slips, then that indicates at the time you slipped, you
weren't that certain.
By going back to the Hadith, one of the other ladies in the
province I send them
liars, nice Zanny hobo
they have to
work at the one who for decades, what in the act while they're
doing it is not a believer. In other words, that instant where
they decided to go ahead and do that they will overcome by
themselves. It's as if a man just for that instant departed from
them. Because if they're true, absolutely certainly knew the
ramifications of what they were doing. They wouldn't do that. And
so on any sin. So if you have a level of certainty, a theme that
prevents you from even making those type of major slips, then
this is the thing you need to work on. And it's narrowed on the
Prophet SAW Selim. He said that
at the Animalia pin
that I learned certainty I learned your theme and certainty greater
certainty is not going to come about except via two things
we're about to pray right
now I'll tell you these two things and after the prayer that I'll
tell you more about them as Vic was fix
remembrance and contemplation
and we'll come back to Java Zachman

Right
You
No it was no
I was a
reflection
was talking about this kind of
situation
appreciate it really
glad to hear
that
Holly switching
Smilla
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim
so we're a little bit challenged with the time now Maghreb and Asia
really gives us only an hour in between I don't want to keep you
too late either
so I'm just going to try to finish this hadith and
say see what we're going to think about how to do it in the next
coming weeks the timings
so we left off
when we were talking about this the same one I was doing before
Yeah
was it this one? No, that's a bad one.
So the first thing that the Prophet SAW I said them ordered
them to was Amen. And we said, Amen. Once you have that as the or
the actual, yes, no belief,
then it's a question of building certainty in that Amen.
And we mentioned that the certainty can be
learned, or it can be earned, that one can actually take steps to
increase their certainty.
And the way that the Quran describes it is there are as we
said, Vikram Fick.
What's the economic victory is remembering Allah subhanaw taala.
And Victor is contemplating specifically upon the signs of a
lost battle. So actually fic is a type of deck
and one of the prophetic Hadith narrative the prophesy said them
he said that
or something along the lines of a concert, and Pharaoh made a
reality center, that even contemplating just for
an instant some moments is better than worshiping even for a year or
years.
Why Why would that be the case? The only reason that could be true
is if the fic the contemplation, the thinking, reflection, probably
reflection is a better word reflection upon the signs of a
lost planet, Allah leads you to a greater certainty.
So if you're doing it in that way, yes, then that the fuck Russa
thinking about God for an hour, some moments, you can gain more
than that, then you can gain in years of a bad because if you're a
bear, that becomes just routine. Right and it's very ritualistic
and routine, you're not going to get much out of it. So unless
you're, you have some difficulty in there, it's going to be
difficult for you to get a great uncertainty. So what is it that
you think about that? Exactly?
We set the sides in a yet
which at which sides?
You can think of, as we said, the signs in the Quran. And the signs
in the Quran, are the microcosm of the macrocosm of the creation. So
they reflect the signs that are already out there in the universe.
What's the universe? Do you have the celestial we have the
terrestrial.
So the celestial is looking everything around you thinking
about the signs all around you. And they all point to Allah
subhanaw taala this whole creation
and then the signs within you yourself, you yourself are
approved yourself as an indication of the Divine oneness and unity.
If you really contemplate yourself in the way that you function, the
way your mind works way heart works. Well your body works.
pocket of that being except the creation of the Creator house
could have come about. And you think about these things, we
reflect on these things. But unless it's preceded by Vic,
right, because you could make the argument to me, well, all those
Darwinian scientists, they thought a lot about creation. They spend
all day doing it. Right? They mapped out the whole human genome
and whatever else they claim to do, and so forth. And so they
spent a lot of time thinking about it. But they're not believers. Why
is that? The reason is because there's no thick.
They're not remembers of Allah subhanaw taala. And
if you contemplate on something not preceded by
a remembrance of the ultimate reality by all those things, then
you'll come up with all sorts of funny ideas about how this thing
works, or how it doesn't work and how it appears, how it doesn't
appear. So modern science is violently
anti religion, modern science and the way that it is right now. But
that wasn't always the case.
Just a few 100 years ago, even the Enlightenment scientists were men
of God, Newton was a man of God, even human lock in the
philosophers, they were believers. It was only recently that the
whole idea of Darwinism crept into the science itself, how that
developed.
But for us, when we remember a loss without it, we reflect upon
him and upon His signs, this will increase our certainty on the
certainty is increased, then that should be reflected in how you act
how you deal with others, right? When you start to realize, you
know, I'm really,
you know, these dealings with people. It's not all that
important that I should sacrifice the next life for this, because
then you see the era the next life as if it's in front of you.
because when we say certainty, certainty and what exactly?
What's certain
certainty in the things that I see? That's not difficult to do.
But it's certainly the things I can't see.
Right? This is where, for example, the people of Moses couldn't
reconcile those two things. What did they say to him? I mean, Allah
had Jehovah. Show us God, we can see him
for how that one cipher,
then the Cycler, then the punishment, the chastisement came
down upon them, because they asked for something had they been given
it? Had they been given that, then
there is no absolutely no excuse for anyone not to believe.
Remember, these are the same people who, with their backs to
the Red Sea, and the Pharaoh's army on their heels. Moses throws
out his staff, splits, they walk in the middle, and then the
Pharaonic army behind them gets enamored and gets completely
covered by the sea, and they all die. Then they get on the other
side, and they say, are in Allah, Jehovah. What was that then? What
do we know? Is that not enough?
You know, what more do you want, then seeing the see split a
miracle before right before you. But that scuffle, because it's not
really about seeing even even if that was shown to them, they still
wouldn't. Because it's not that they don't recognize the truth,
they want to deny it.
So the denial of the truth is where the problem is. But if you
have a certainty, which is the opposite of that, which means you
are upholding the truth, you believe in the truth, and you see
it as truth, even though it may be outside of your realm of senses,
but you know it in another way, and all of the knowers of God,
they say that
our knowledge of God, and even though he is from the unseen, it's
more certain to us than what we see in front of us than what we
can perceive with our senses. Because what you perceive with
your senses can make a mistake.
People don't realize that, but you think you're seeing something, and
you're not. You think you're seeing a particular situation. And
you're not really seeing that thing. You're seeing something
else, or what someone wants you to see.
I think this is especially true in the age we live today, when we are
mass consumers of directed media.
What I mean by directed media is that clip you see on YouTube, or
that thing that someone put on Facebook, or whatever it is, what
do you think that's just some like some random thing? There's a
camera behind that. And there's someone who's directing what you
want to see. They want you to see it the way they want you to see
it. Maybe not the way it really is. But yet we take it as gospel.
No, no, I saw that I saw the clip. He said, That thing that everyone
is talking about? No, no. He, he said that. Well, what did you say
beforehand? What do you say after? What was the context of that?
Where was he? How many years ago was that was in the present time.
None of those things that clip can tell you with certainty. All it
shows you is what whoever's behind the camera, and over edited it
wants you to see. So you're getting an edited version of
reality. Whereas belief in the unseen
belief in Allah subhanaw, taala, and all that the promises came
with, there's no one editing that for you.
Completely unfiltered.
But when you see it, when you have the certainty of it, then it's
more real to you. Then these directed
visions that people want you to say.
So we told them about a man,
most important thing.
And then he asked them, Do you know what Amen with Allah? Amen.
Beloved, believing in Allah is Amen. Only what that means.
But they're already believers. But nevertheless, they said, along
with our pseudo Adam, Allah and His Prophet know best, but they're
Muslim, which means they might have an idea what the answer is,
but they still reply in that way. Why? Because other this is the
etiquette, when you're dealing with someone like the Prophet SAW
Selim, that shows they really are Muslim, and they really have
actually, more than a fainting idea of what Islam is because they
understand how to speak to the Prophet SAW Salem prophesy, Selim
was an Aslam in a sense, so that he can elicit an answer, but he is
getting they're shutting him down. He's trying to get them interested
to see what he's gonna say next. And it's always been when you're
dealing when you speak to someone, this is a lost art, I think in our
age, but when you're speaking with someone who has more to give you
than you can give them
right. Like you can learn more from them than you can learn from
you then
The basic thing is to kind of you talk less, and they talk more,
that would be the logical thing. But we quite do the opposite. We
don't have a respect for those people who are positions whether
of knowledge of whether they have in a position to actually benefit
benefit us in a matter of what they say. And we kind of have
these talking heads going back and forth, but the mclubbe with the
prophets I send them Allah or Sue Adam, we want to hear from you.
And you can see this parable also in the Quran sometimes when
God speaks to Moses,
right and he asked him one that didn't carry I mean, aka Musa.
What is that in your right hand? Yeah Musa call Hey, all soya it's
my cane, my staff.
After work already, how should we run me? Well, you if you have an
arable okra,
what did he say? He said, This staff, I lean on it. And I use it
to hurt my flock the sheep.
And then Moses realized, Wait, I've said too much.
God has not asked me all that so they can. Then he finishes and he
says, What are you if you have an edible okra, and he said I ever
have other uses for it too. And then he stopped
the amorphous zero. And they said he did this because you realized
the wakame with Allah is not for you to speak. It's for you to
hear. It's for you, to imbibe, it's for you to listen. So he
stopped short. And he said, Well, I have other uses. And then he
heard what Allah's final data, of course, in this scenario, what he
heard from Allah, we don't know exactly how that was. We do know,
however, that it was not by sound, or in a manner that would happen
in this life. Because Allah subhanaw taala is Kadeem, he is
pre eternal and ever existent and we are contingent upon our
existence is contingent existence. So the two cannot sort of Occupy
in the same
mode of fuel of communication like that. So how that happened?
Exactly. We don't know what we know, there was some type of
communication, that's all that we know. So when Moses said that he
realized he stopped me if you available.
And then God will include how we'll
take it and do not fear. And then this is the same staff that cast
down and eat all the rest of the serpent's and the same staff that
split the legs, the Red Sea.
And it said that this stuff, incidentally, was preserved. And
you can now actually go find it in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul,
Turkey, where the the former palace, residents of the Ottomans,
salted.
And the Quran indicates that this taboo, that there was a taboo that
preserved many of the relics of the other prophets and one of
those relics what could have been the staff of Moses whether that
actually is that one or not? Although Adam, but it could be.
So
they said Alana was Prophet, his messenger know best. Then he said
shelter later in Allah, test eviction of faith, and the prayer
and the care and fasting Ramadan.
Which one did he leave out?
hudge. Right. He mentioned hatch. He mentioned something instead of
hatch, which is
spoils of war 1/5 of the spoils of war. And Magnum is a spoil of war.
So whatever you can collect from the enemy army that's on their
person, or in their possession then becomes the war booty and
becomes a possession of the victorious army. So the Islamic
principle is that all of that is collected, and then 1/5 of it goes
back to
the Imam or the state or the public interest, and then the four
fifths would be distributed amongst the soldiers, the Muslim
soldiers.
Why did he mention that one? And he didn't mention how much
they offered a few reasons. Depends on what year this was. If
this was in the fifth or seventh year, as some of the narrations
indicate, then Hajj wasn't obligatory yet because Hajj became
obligatory
in the eighth year, so it wasn't obligatory yet. So then Hajj
wouldn't have been mentioned.
But I've had was in the ninth year,
the Hajj, if this delegation came in the ninth, then Hajj is
obligatory
and the Prophet SAW I said, I'm nevertheless didn't mention it to
them. The most likely scenario is indicated in the beginning of the
Hadith. Right when I said in the beginning, this is going to be
significant, which part was that?
What did they say to the Prophet so I said them when they arrived
they can only come
In this sacred month,
because there's this tribe in between us that will stop us. So
realizing this, there's a possibility the Prophet SAW I said
and didn't mention Hajj because remember Hajj, even in the Hadith
of the five pillars, Hajj is mentioned in the same breath as
lemon South Hi, Lee Sabina, for the one who has the ability to
come to Hajj. Now ability means both financial, physical, and
otherwise, if there's an enemy in your way and you can't get there,
then Hajj is not obligatory.
So they don't have to do hedge if there's some obstacle preventing
you from if you don't have a means to go. You know, if you live far
away and you need a plane ride and you don't have a ticket for the
plane or there's no planes where you are. You don't have to go
because you don't have the means to get
