nor is the audio on No. Can you hear it in your in your? Let me
check if I can hear it here.
Testing.
Yes we have sound Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu
was Salam ala Rasulillah while he was talking to the woman who
Allah, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Safina society
nothing but facts live stream and we apologize for the delay, as
Ryan is out today, and
Brian's out today and just had some technical difficulties
getting on. But today we cover new to DNA, zinc and heavy if you
could possibly put on the
panel screen with new to Dina zenki. The title
noted Dina zenki, to me is one of the greatest heroes in all of
Islam because I love to style the way he did things and he came up
in such a time
in such a time of chaos, very similar to our times.
He came up to in a time where the Crusaders as he was going to put
it up there. Right the Crusaders had taken over four major cities
including Jerusalem ADESA, Antioch.
They've taken over four major cities along the coast
of Shem.
And the Muslims themselves were so pathetic, so pitiful, at that time
that the majority of their rulers were drunkards, people who drank
people who are inept. People were incompetent.
And people who would gladly side with the Crusaders against one
another. They would attack one another they were fighting one
another, and they were abetted dunya they were worshippers of
dunya.
Amongst them came up against her. This gangsters name is
a mad Dean zenki he's a Turk. Alright, I met a dean zenki is a
Turk, who is somebody who
was extremely competent, pious, no, not pious at all, not even
close to pious, good. Not close to pious at all. But was he
competent, very competent.
And he had a philosophy that was very interesting for us to learn.
His philosophy was the concept. And the idea is that in chaos, you
must remain on the attack, or else you will be attacked.
That was the philosophy.
Of don't put it in the corner, put it go down to third quarter, no,
keep clicking those scenes, and there's a scene where it's set for
you. On the left, on the left,
there's a scene. Yeah, there, imitate that, stick it up there.
Okay,
I met a dean had a sink, there can only be one tyrant at one time,
there is ever only one tyrant at once, meaning if I'm the tyrant,
there will not be another tyrant. And he was a man who cannot be
described by any means as pious, but he can very well be described
as a king who.
You're not going to want him as your King. Right? You're but if He
is your King, you will not have problems.
This is a man who kept notes, no word. He had no word. He was
purely the idea with him was
the ends justify the means? I'll give you an example. He wanted to
conquer all he did. He spent his life this is Game of Thrones
stuff. Okay, this is total Game of Thrones stuff. And he was going to
put up a map right now of the countries we're talking about and
of the cities of Jerusalem,
cities of Shem that he that we're talking about. And I like to give
you an overview in the general themes here. I want to go into the
details like some of these history podcasts. There are some history
podcasts that go into such detail. I wonder, do you have a life?
Seriously such detail that is the listener is no way like you ever
you guys ever heard of the Hardcore History podcast? There is
no way a human being can actually keep touch.
With the amount of details here, keep that in your mind amount of
details that this guy gives in the Hardcore History podcast, so I
don't listen to it too much detail. Give me the general idea.
And the important themes that go through it. And the theme of a
medic Dina's zombies. rule was that in a state of chaos,
being constantly on the attack is the only way to survive and he
survived.
Not a lot of people survived at that time. rulers were up and
down. It was completely like
they're just there was no stability at all the Latin
kingdom, which is the Crusader kingdom, they had stability.
But nobody else except a matter of Dina zenki. Now how did he come up
a matter Deena zenki came up, his dad betrayed
his kink. So he was beheaded.
So when you come up, when you're 10 years old, and your dad gets
beheaded? What kind of view of the world do you have? That's the
first thing. So whatever happens to people in their youth,
it's oftentimes it amplifies as an adult, because that's something
that that's his norm. That's his life. Right? So that's the first
thing that happened to him that was like, left a mark. He was then
raised by a general that is not his father. Not gonna have the
same kind of tender sympathy for him and care about as a nice
childhood. He raised Him on militaristically.
He raised in militaristically. And that's how they operated.
So when it came time for me to Dean to rule he ruled.
And he was on the trying to take Damascus, that was his thing his
entire life. Let me give you an example of what kind of betrayer
this person was. He wanted to take over Aleppo at one time Halloween,
which he successfully did. He besieged it.
When he besieged it, and he couldn't succeed.
He gave a promise to the leader.
All of you come out let's sign up packed
all of your the captives that we have.
They took captives because some people live outside the city
walls. We'll hand them over to you, but I need to talk to the
leader face to face.
They made him swear on the Quran.
They made him swear that he would divorce all his wives. He did all
that they brought us up
to two
arbiter arbitrate.
Don't mind you. He's attacking Muslims.
His most of his career is attacking Muslims
as
soon as the leader comes out to sign this pact, what does he do?
Slutsky said, slit slits, his neck, cuts his head off, kills all
the captives, takes over the city
is a man that had zero principles, except the principle of the ends
justify the means.
Now you look at this type of person, and you ask yourself a
very simple question, why is it that Allah Tada gives success to
this person? Because by all measures, he was successful.
He was extremely successful as a worldly kink.
How did he end up getting killed, he ended up getting killed because
he was drunk
and a slave.
Slave
drank from his cup.
So he pronounced the death penalty tomorrow on this slave slave is
afraid it's a Christian slave to the middle of the night he killed.
That's how he died. Right? To show you that
wasn't really exactly what we call a noble death.
But he did, he has his achievements or two in his life
are two main achievements in his life. Number one, he was the only
stable
kingdom in that world.
And it was strong.
And by conquering multiple cities, the trade increased and improved
the two genre
and they became rich.
Now the third thing, or the second major contribution, actually had
nothing to do nothing to do
with Islam, and the deen and the motives of Islam had purely to do
with the motives of dunya as well as his track record, how can we
say that? How can we judge the motive of another guy? Look at the
guy's track record, right?
Look at how the guy lives. The guys are drunk the guy is, can you
stick the other one on actually,
to give you sorry for the hassle, but the one that has all the
Crusader sounds in it?
The guy's motive not once showed any respect for the word of Allah.
But he does something at the end of his life that triggers some
belief in the hearts of Muslims.
What was that belief?
he conquers a major Castle, a major city and Citadel and
fortress and stronghold of the Crusaders, which is a desert
when he conquers a DESA it all of a sudden gives the Muslims some
heart.
And he since thinking the Muslim realize we just we beat these
guys. And you don't understand
the cowering, the cowardice, the fear that
the Crusaders put into the heart of Muslims. And it was what's his
face? What's the guy's name? He's one of the first biographers of
the Crusades. And I like to get it from the Christian perspective.
Because when the Christians say something about their own events,
right, then
it tells you something. And what's his name? He's one of the major
early early authors and of course they try to rebut him because he
by by essentially telling the truth, he ends up saying a lot of
nice things about the Muslims.
Stanley Lane Poole is his name. And of course, all the modern
historians, they want to debunk him because to justify their job,
basically, essentially, they need to come up with some new idea. And
this guy's given the muscles too much credit. Blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah. So Stan Lee lane pool Okay.
Hamza Jose, and we're not talking about new to Dean. We're talking
about a mad at Dean his father.
Okay, all of this we're talking about Amen to Dean not noted in
the father of Notre Dame.
I imagine you ask yourself and I brought up the question.
You ask yourself, why does Allah give this tyrant such success?
It's because Allah Tala is using him to lay the foundation for
somebody else. And that is new to Dena zinc. Right. So Amanda de
And is your typical gangster what's going on
files to screenshot it yeah screenshot the the important part
of it that has the Latin Kingdom
yeah all that and then actually minimize a little bit click like
control minus so the screen shrinks and then screenshot that.
So
how fancy says hopefully is 100 feet. This guy's barely a Muslim I
imagine DNase and most of them of course, but
when he tried to take over Damascus
What did the ruler of Damascus do?
He sent an emissary to the Crusaders themselves
for help against a meditate.
So I met a Dean's goal was to rule over Mosul, which is in Iraq had a
ADESA and Damascus, if he could get these four corners, he can
make like a shape. Okay.
And that would be his territory.
Now, let's ask the question.
Where is the link there is a link here.
Between noted Dean's family and the future sulla Dean's family.
We're not even close to Salahuddin and he's not even born yet.
I imagine it Dean
zenki.
He's always he's an opportunist. Any chance he could, he could
attack he attacks.
So the Khalifa
Khalifa dies in Baghdad. At this point, the Khalifa verdad is
nothing other than a figurehead. Right? He's nothing other than a
figurehead.
He dies, but he has an army.
And the sons are thinking of who's going to be the next kidney for
what is a meta Dean do? He has the gall to take over the cadaver and
he tries but he fails. He tries to go up to Iraq, Baghdad. He's in
Mosul. He goes up to Baghdad
and he tries to take over about a dead
take over the Qaddafi itself.
Firstly, how did he even become
a governor of Mosul because the Khalifa Mahmoud I think is like my
who the second
at the time he was young.
And he had a civil war within the Kayla's side of civil war within
and he banked on the right guy. That's what he did. He basically
bet on the right guy. And he supported
the young Khalifa. He wins the Civil War and as a reward.
He gives him muscle. That's how I met a dean becomes a Khalifa. So
when that man his ally in Iraq, Baghdad, the Khalifa dies a matter
Dean goes to try to take over the whole thing.
But he fails, and he's actually on the run and they almost killed
him. While he's on the run shortly a little bit outside of Baghdad,
what happens
another wily politician. Okay, another wily politician. All
right. We need to minimize it a bit more to get Jerusalem right.
Yeah.
Who's this wildly politician? A YouTube Najmuddin, a YouTube even
Shadi?
Hey, no, are you here? What number should I click?
We got a lot going on on the stream. Are you on the stream?
Now? Tell me what number should I click here?
You've been Shadi.
All right.
Is the governor into Crete a little suburb?
It's a little suburb.
What does he do? He sees the possibility
right of what could happen here and he gives him refuge. What does
he see? He sees that this is a powerful guy who has a future
He's a powerful guy with the future. He gives him refuge.
He gives them refuge and when he gives them refuge
later on that they become allies. Okay, we still don't have
Jerusalem in the
zoom out even more.
So this guy is completely
these are all resourceful
opportunistic people, and these two people, you've ever Najmuddin
or you've even Shadi.
Who is that?
That's the father of Salahuddin.
That's the future father of Salahuddin. So who rises out of
chaos. This is the what's important, not all these details,
right?
The the idea of the theme who rises out of chaos, the guys who
are resourceful and they're always on the attack, and they're making
the Allah allegiances that they need to make.
Okay?
That's what's important. That's what
what matters.
So, that's how you've been shed, okay becomes
allied with a madad Dean zenki.
That's how they become friends.
Later on as a gift. I imagine Dean gives
you
the city of balabac.
And that's where the city of balabac is where Salahuddin has
more value back is a nice, posh, cushy city in Shem.
And Salahuddin grows up in absolute peace
in that city, okay. So our Dean grows up, and he becomes later on
a
soldier and a prince. Okay, so I imagine Dean when he conquers
ADESA without where is the DESA? Imagine turkey. To the right of
that is a DESA.
That's where a Deus is the northern most of the four
principalities, a DESA, Antioch, Tripoli, which is now Lebanon and
Jerusalem. So and when we say this, and Habib is about to put it
up right now, he's got the map.
When we say that, it's a principality, what does it mean?
It means the city is the main thing that they control. There's a
bunch of farms and no man's land around it, but they ended up
managing to, so they benefit from the farms around it. Okay. It's
not like today, where when you control something,
you control every inch of it, like France controls every inch of
France, there's you can't, you know, go and build a house
somewhere in a country today and disappear off the grid. I mean,
rarely happens. It's almost impossible job. But in the old
days, they used to do that.
So the Crusades are now after ADESA.
The conquest of ADESA. What did a man do? He initiated again, the
fire of the Crusades, which led to the Second Crusade.
Second Crusade to take back a DESA. And that crusade is a
failure. Right? It fails. Yeah, hey, come take my phones if you
need to,
to the log of
the Crusaders.
They end up ruling for eight years total.
When they ruled, the Muslims were in complete, I would say
disobedience
outside of Islam, you know, in
not outside of Islam, but outside of what is needed to gain victory
in sins in mossy
and, sadly, Elaine pool is the one who said that when the Christians
came in and went right to the heart of Jerusalem.
The horses on the way to msgid Omar were
knee deep in blood. It's certainly Elaine Poole, who came up with
that and people repeat that after it's like a vivid image, how much
killing they did. All this was actually spurred by Peter the
Hermit,
Peter the Hermit. He is one of the preachers of Christianity and he's
the one who actually came up with the vision. And you wonder where
this massive thing called the Crusades came from.
It was born in the mind and we would say that Allah put his will.
Here it is in the mind.
Of
a certain preacher, who, when we say Allah's Will, Allah's Will is
of the good in the bad, right?
But if when it comes down to the earth that has to come somewhere,
came into this mind if you did the hermit he went around Europe
preaching and he could fill this field with people
to preach. Right, he could fill the field.
So Peter the Hermit did this. And it caught on
All right. And he doesn't realize what he lit the, the flame that he
lit was a fire that would take over the entire Islamic world Shem
for over a century.
But if you want the summary
there are 13 crusades, some big some small. The Crusaders won the
first one. They lost all the rest.
Right? There are a lot of crusades, some of them are
insignificant. Good.
And the Muslims themselves out of Iraq, there were preachers, and
there were cathedrals. And there were Imams, and some of them stand
out over others
that inspired the Muslims to return to jihad after the conquest
of Odessa, which was not even done in the name of jet. It was done in
the name of dunya. But when they conquered it, when they met it
didn't conquer the desert, I guess we could we could win here.
Now, new to Dean zenki is the son of him at a dean when I met a dean
comes in dies. He divides up his kingdom so that
he gives his club
to Notre Dame
and he gives
Mosul to his other son safety.
Net know the dean is literally described as one of the Oleander
in a theater says I have studied the careers of the rulers of the
past.
And I've only found five rulers
of greater piety
than Notre Dame. In other words, the four Qatif has, of course, say
that Hasson is a Khalifa. But he doesn't rule for law.
And normative and Abdulaziz there can only be five people who are
mentioned to be close to the tequila and Dean
of Notre Dame. Now, the Western historians
they want to
remember, remember the economics of academia.
Economics always play a great role in everything.
Economic economics of academia is not just about telling the truth,
and just about seeing what's going on in the world. Academia is also
you need to get a job, you need to get attention, someone's got to
pay you
don't underestimate the the role of having to be unique
in academia,
and having to come up with a new idea to get attention to get
yourself on
the radar of people, institutions that have money, so for you to say
and read a history and say yes, this history is correct. That
doesn't get on anyone's radar.
I'm not going into the intention of people, it's impossible. But we
cannot it's it's just impossible, impractical and naive to to not be
aware that bringing a new idea contradicting the
the known history or the the the tradition that has been passed
down in a field such as academia or whatever field you want to talk
about, gets attention. And attention is needed to get you the
job.
We can't discount that. I think attention you have to get
attention and always the question is are you getting it righteously
or wickedly?
So later historians of the West whom are the most dominant
historians of our times because they write the best history books,
which is pretty much a shame but that's what happens when you
civilizations in decline and other civilization rises up. They're the
ones who have the time to study history to write the books and
that's why we're talking about their books. We're not talking
about some Islamic historians books. Most of them historian
well, they want to put a play it that noted Dean
is a king like any other king. That's how they the sulla had been
is a king like any other game, they want to put it like that. But
even then,
this is a good I liked this book. I read it a long time ago. So I
didn't buy PAH newbie. I haven't read it again. I probably may not
like it a second time I read it but who knows.
But
they cannot deny the personal piety
that was on display of these individuals.
There is a great amount of evidence showing the personal
piety of *. How
He lived, he was austere. Okay, let's put the map up. Brian. We
can put it up now that we have
nurudeen was austere. He was a Zed.
He was a Hanafi.
And it is said that
the method that was promulgated
were three in his time and in his city. Take a seat, Habib, you can
join the podcast. And yeah, he had two tickets, because yeah, he just
came back from Jamaat and he'll tell us about it. Youth Jamaat?
Eustoma
if people don't know what Jamaat is, it's mainly essentially when
they
go for a public good
it's a it's basically a nice trip for the youth. Could you see why
it was pumped out cold there? Just
is it so hot? That's why the internet slow. Everything slow.
What's, by the way, we got a major scorcher today. How hot was it
outside like 92.
And yesterday,
it should be getting cold. It's so hot that the machine can't work.
It's too hard. Like the internet slow, nothing's working.
All the grass everywhere. Like my poor, the poor, some of our
tenants here in the house. They don't work. Their grass cutters
was no work. Everyone's grass is dead. Right? So
when you look at what noted Dean, how he lived.
The poetry is literature that's there you can't invent isn't
wasn't invented later. It was there. It's clearly poetry
praising him as a man of piety. For us as Muslims. This is the
key. Because our our main belief is that our success comes from
Taqwa from Sakina. Yet at the same time, you have to be a good you
have to have some gamesmanship. You have to be a gangster in your
profession. And Newton didn't was and they use that, to try to show
that he's just a man of dunya like everybody else. But no, you have
to be somebody who strengthens. If you're a king, you don't just
spread the deen you solidify your own power. You have to or else you
won't survive. So we take it that when he does that, and he does
solidify his own power, and sometimes he is attacking other
Muslims.
But when he attacks other Muslims, it's always with a green light
from a fapy that this is for the benefit of the of the OMA like
what for example,
Damascus
was tied with Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Mizzou, the Crusaders,
and at this point, Jerusalem was ruled by Baldwin the third. Okay,
it looks as if there's a picture of Baldwin the third.
Now, Baldwin, the third
is a great kink. He's an excellent kink. And when your people have an
excellent King, you know that Allah has ruled stability for you.
When a fool takes over, which is going to happen later on a fool
takes over, then you know that Allah has willed the demise.
What's the proof of that the Quran says we either denied the Korean
Amara Nam which raffia if we have a specific will not the words to
bring down a nation.
We bring up the fools. What's raffia means the people who who
care about the details, or about the Super officials. The rough the
edges are the people who are on the edge of intellect as opposed
to on the core of things. A modern emulator raffia festa Coffea they
mess it up for physical fear means they destroy it, they ruin
everything. So why are you looking at a guy like Putin?
Say what you want about his morals? Say whatever you want, you
want to call him evil, that I'm fine with all that. You cannot say
he's incompetent. Nobody could rule these all oligarchs. For how
many years he ruined 22 years now. Nobody could rule for that long
and be incompetent. He's not a stupid guy, which is why Russia is
something to be called to be reckoned with. Alright, so noted
in his eyes on Damascus, but he does not break any trusts.
And he is one point
attacked. He's attacked by a new wave of Crusaders. He has no
choice but to call upon Notre Dame. Nobody didn't comes from
Aleppo. And he saved
to Damascus,
and then he doesn't even spend the night. Because if he wants to show
him I have no ill will towards you. So he leaves.
That king dies of Damascus. These are all like little kings. The
king dies of Damascus.
Then Notre Dame realize a weekend comes in. There's no pacts between
that King.
So back in the old days, you had pacts between kings, not between
nations. So there's no Pakhtun on dishonor. He realized, if we leave
this king there, the Crusaders are going to take it. So he comes in,
he takes Damascus, once he takes Damascus. That's where everything
turns because Damascus is a powerful city. And by the way,
another sign of the baraka of this conquest of Damascus. It's a
conquest, it's a political takeover. That doesn't mean it's
not blessed. You people imagined piety to be like being a lamb like
this Christian version of piety. You're never political. You're
just a lamb. You're like a Quaker, all that stuff. All right. The
Quakers can be Quakers because no one tried to conquer Pennsylvania.
Nobody wants it right.
Back in the Quakers. What's his name? Who wasn't the founder of
Pennsylvania? Right, William Penn. All right, Bill Penn. He's a
Quaker, right? No violence, all everything should be nice and
good. I love it. It's wonderful. Until someone tries to conquer
you, right? Then let's talk. Let's see your philosophy then. All
right, so you can be all peaceful when you're way out there in the
middle of nowhere. Nobody cares about your country. But as soon as
people care, you can't be this this Quaker, all peace loving.
Alright, so
it is a conquest, but it's blessed. And the sign of his being
blessed is that the elite and the common call for Notre Dame to come
and take over. When they realized the new king is weak, he can't do
anything. We don't trust Him, we trust you. And in the city, what
is rule rule for us is by a king, who is asked to rule that's the
correct and the pure. That's what that's the purest form of rule is
when the elite and the common but most importantly, the elite who
speak for the common the interests of the common folk,
the heads of the tribes and the heads of the different groups if
there are no tribes and their interest groups, their groups,
right? Demographics, they call for you to lead, and they put the
burden of leading on your shoulder. And once that happens,
that's the blessing rule. And no, Dean's rule was extremely blessed.
He filled the masajid with classes.
And the biggest theme was jihad.
Just every day non stop talk about war against the Crusaders taking
back one city at a time and noted DNS, get you the
noted noted DNS
smi TOS his his battles are many
new to DNS battles are many. Let's take a look at some of them.
Now, here's just one of the signs that even the non Muslims had to
recognize the know the nobility of these rulers when Baldwin the
third died.
This is a crusader enemy, right?
Everyone said no to Dean, this is your chance. He said no.
He said when a prince like that, who knows how to lead his people
competent in all facets of the field of monarchy, and governance
and rule. When he dies.
We give them respect. I'm not going to take advantage. Why?
Because he was not like some of the other rulers that came over
fools. There was there were rulers who were fools who deserved what
they got. But Baldwin the third.
And from his lineage from Baldwin. The third
was somebody that he respected. And he refused to attack Jerusalem
after Baldwin. Third, he respected them. Because when you're when
you're a king when you're a gangster and you meet another
gangster, right? When I say gangster, I mean, you're living in
a world of chaos. Right? It's not there's no order in the old world.
If you have power you attack you think there's order now? We
imagine yeah, there's red lights, green lights. That's for us. We
imagine that but in the grand scheme of global budgets in order,
right, you have a chance to take something you have to take it
good. So he respected them. And he let them bring on the next kink.
And there was nothing left in Syria though.
So the I have he didn't have the power to go to Jerusalem.
The I have noted Dean
It was to
corner. The was to completely corner. The Crusaders. How do you
do that? Serious completely under his control now. Now in the map
under the green Kingdom of Jerusalem go a little southwest
that's Egypt.
Egypt is ruled by the Fatimid Shia.
Those yellow, blue, red and green countries there are the Crusaders
from Europe, the French basically. You see how, how long the French
hatred of Islam comes from? From 1100s. Right. So grandfather from
grandson for over a millennium, they've been hating Islam. Okay,
so you wonder where that hatred comes from? It's part of their
history. Most of what what do we call in Arabic? What do we call a
foreigner I call them a flunky, which means Frenchman because
these were the Crusaders were mostly French. Right? And the
papacy was in France. So that's why, basically the Crusader
history the history of between Muslims and Europeans is
essentially the French more than anybody else. That's why their
hatred for Islam is run so deep. Now, even as atheists
they've slipped off Christianity, but they've kept the hatred of
Islam. Well, they hate all religions now. So
if he can get Egypt, that's the key. If you can conquer Egypt,
then he could have two major armies and completely jam
Jerusalem. From both sides. Makes sense, right? Jam from both sides.
And this happens, it happens when another crusade comes along. And
these Crusaders, what do they do?
Well, they're not dumb either. They realize we're in trouble.
If new to Dean gets his hands on Egypt, we're in big trouble. So
what do they have to do? They got to take Egypt first. So they try
to take Egypt first.
And when the Crusaders come to take Egypt,
the Fatimid King reluctantly
he phones Notre Dame.
I don't know how they used to do it back in the old days, send a
horseman right. Send a pigeon, send a falcon. Right. Fire a
smokestack. But they send an emissary over to New to Dean
and reluctantly asked for help.
So noted Dean sends who his brother
and he sends the assistant to his brother is whom at this time, so I
didn't know keep in mind use of even AU. So I had Dean. He's just
a soldier like anybody else. But he's a competent soldier. And he
has a position of privilege with the king with with new to Dean
because new to Dean inherited the loyalty of his father. Remember
salida Dean's Father Are you
what is owed a favor by a met? Some noted Dean's dad was
basically running for his life. So I had Dean's dad took him in into
Crete Iraq. So he owes him a favor for life. So he set them up nice
and cushy in Syria.
And so that had Dean grows up there. And their family friends.
So noted Dean takes him in
as he's just a soldier like any other soldier and agenda and he
rises up to the ranks, but he has a special spot.
So no to Dean's brother now.
Is not exactly Mr. Dean.
Right? He's blind in one eye. He's corpulent. He's foul mouthed,
right. But he's compensated. And Nadine sends him
and Salahuddin to Egypt to push back the Crusaders. And the the
the mission is, we're not at war with the fundaments pushed back to
Crusaders and come right back. That's the goal. And he does an
amazing job.
And I had I had a video on it in the past, but I took it down of
you could literally make a movie on the honestly this whole period.
This whole century is Game of Thrones. But this one attack,
where he comes in with a small troop, and he's trapped in a
certain area. The brother of Notre Dame should who His name is Sudoku
and he
goes down to the south Egypt and he attacks the Capitol. So he's a
guy who's very vulnerable against the Crusaders. The Crusaders are
making a siege on the Capitol. When he comes in. He stopped
All right. So
in order to busy them, he's able to get a small contingent of his
soldiers down to the southern Egypt, recruit some Sundays from
there,
go up, attack the Capitol, right? And distract the Crusaders. He's a
brilliant warrior. And point being, he gets the job done.
Now when he gets the job done, and he vanquishes the Crusaders
crusaders leave.
Now, what do you think they do after
war after an
operation like that is over, they have to rest a little bit as the
resting. The fosmid King invites him over. Right? It comes to the
palace, right there eating should coup like his brother, like his
father. He's got an eye, he's resourceful. He's looking around.
He's looking around at the palace. It's not well kept. He's looking
around at the soldiers.
This is not a scary army. He's looking at the king. He's like 14
years old.
And immediately on the spot, decides, let's take.
This was not his order.
But he knew that it's a great opportunity.
So he takes it. He goes back, rallies his troops, they surround
the castle of the king of the ultimate King. And they take over.
That was it. Nothing. There was no war, nothing very quickly took
over.
And he's so happy because this was Notre Dame's goal. And if you have
Syria and you have Egypt, you will have what happened in the 60s,
when Israel came about
Israel, Syria and Egypt realized if we can make a pact together, we
can sin which Israel and we could take over. And they made a pact.
But they they were they were not upon dean. And I talked to I heard
lectures, and I met some people who were in that army, Egypt on
the Egypt side.
And I heard them saying that the night before the army, the
Egyptian soldiers were passing around * magazines. So
he knew we're not winning this war. And they did it. Right. The
Egyptians did it. And the Syrian pact was not something based upon
template the way new dean established it.
So Allah does not give Muslims victory if they're not on Taqwa.
Right? Unless it's paving the way for something else. So and victory
against the kofod We should say, victory against one another. Okay,
maybe that's something else. But
when he takes over him, he's besides himself. He can't believe
it. So he sends a letter to the dean. Egypt is ours. They can't
believe it. They're like, the goal has been
we arrived at right
now, shall we say? He's not Mr. Piety. What does he do? There are
two castles in Egypt. He alternates partying, one night
here, one night there one night here one night there for two
weeks, he parties.
He ate so much that the doctors say his stomach burst from how
much he ate. And he died.
Write that in there.
So what does he do when he died?
He says to his number two use of who is Salahuddin?
Hey, you most loyal person to know the dean that we know we're family
friends, guess what? Your king,
your king of Egypt. It's like well,
now immediately who comes down immediately, he's dead. Now
remember who his dad is. His dad's loyalty is to himself.
His dad saved New to Dean's dead. Knowing this is a political
bargaining chip I can use later on.
And that allowed when I met a dean became successful then Notre Dame
became successful for him to have a nice posh position in the
monarchy.
Now his son has Egypt. You think a 50 year veteran of politics is
just gonna tell him follow orders and submit Egypt back to Notre
Dame. He says no. This is our turn now. We're kings.
So use of Salah ad din is young at this point very young and he
doesn't really have a plan.
His father comes in and tutors him
and he says he write a letter immediately to *.
And you tell him everything he wants to hear. And you give him
the most polite you address him in the most polite fashion possible.
But you don't give up an inch. You do not
Give up one inch of Egypt and you don't go back. And every time he
calls you back
and every time he gives you an order, you reply immediately with
the most polite reply possible.
But you don't give him an inch and start consolidating this kingdom.
We are you bits. It's our turn now.
And he never gives Egypt to know to do.
So then the Zenji Empire
finally the moment it reaches its climax, it doesn't get it. Right.
On top of that, what happens? So use if now
he's ruling Egypt, he's consolidating Egypt. He's
traveling around
the Monopoly board of the old world, consolidating
strengthening, pushing off enemies. New to Dean says, now
it's time Meet Me in Jerusalem, let's fight. He ignores him.
And he avoids new to didn't How long can I keep avoiding him? This
is not like practical or sustainable. And yet Allah Tada
comes with the verdict. You know what happens?
Dean gets a virus in his throat.
Severe tonsillitis. And he dies young.
That's it.
And who are his sons? He only has like a 15 year old son.
So what does Salahuddin do? His father walks in, you write the
longest ODE of respect and honor. And then you go and you conquer
Syria.
And they go in.
And the people of Syria see the troops of Salahuddin they know
him. He's one of their own. So they don't view this as a nasty
takeover.
And Salahuddin takes over Syria.
And that's how Salahuddin unneutered Dean Salah knew the
Dean's vision of a Syria Egypt pact
to put the Crusaders between two pincers like this ends up being
the destiny
of the humans of so I do. Now,
that was there, a selfish motive by the father of sola Handy was
the father of Salahuddin a corrupt tyrant, no. Was he a foxy
politician? Yes, he was a fox, there's no doubt about it. And he
saw a chance for his family to have a place in history, and they
got it. Right. And so a pious person like salah, headin Well, at
the same time, I guess you have to listen to your father, right? So
Allah has forced him almost it's almost as if Allah jammed him.
Well, you gotta listen to your father. Right? Obey your father.
So it came to Salah Dean in that respect. So
that's the summary of new dean Salahuddin.
If we want to talk about Dean and Arpita
then both of them were extremely pious.
They were Ashara
they promoted the sad School of Akita
was that the that was a big portion of it. There's something
called an Aki the salah here.
Why is that is because there was a lot of Shiism in the air at the
time. A
lot of she is. Right. And so they had to combat that.
How else does Salahuddin combat this? He said, We need all the
strength of all the methods. And he's that one of the first if not
the first. I don't think there's even more did this in reverse at
his time.
He was one of the first to call upon the leaders of all the meth
hubs and have them all teach in one was
in what's called a four e when mosque which is basically
imagine a big courtyard and then a huge nave a roofed area
like etched in.
Imagine like a plus sign essentially, the the middle of the
plus sign is open air with a big fountain for Windows. And each of
the legs of the plus sign the limbs is like a domed
hollow area. And there it was the each method has one. And then the
each method was assigned to leadership from their own that
manages it. Why because we need all hands on deck to combat the
Shiism that's in the air. She's in was the thing of the Arabs in the
past. It wasn't a Persian thing, right? It became Persian later,
but it was an Arab issue they were fighting within. And so
The Fatimids were Arabs who had established themselves in Egypt
and Salahuddin, in order to combat this. So he did have a keen eye on
theology. So I had Dean, he believed that victory is by a bad
and Sakina one of the proofs of that is that he assigned
a che to remind the people of piety, all he was supposed to do
is worship Allah day and night and give a couple speeches to the
troops. Every troops are divided into companies, every company had
one.
Right? Every and and the shake of all of them.
Right was
even
if no Kodama at that time, was the sheikh, who was assigned.
One of the assignments he had was to be in the army, give lectures
on the laws of FIP related to war and conquest so that our soldiers
can obey them. Right. And that was his job for a period of time. The
great technical German luctus
Alright, so that's the idea and the concepts of
how Allah's Will, ya know, the Dean came up with something all
right.
Yet at the same time, Allah subhanaw taala had a different
plan, and
Palace, Syria and Egypt as the jam of
the Crusaders was the fate and the destiny of Salahuddin use of even
a human shed. And that led to the Ayyubid Dynasty,
which has its own history and in the future lessons, Inshallah,
we'll talk about the basic history of how Salahuddin conquers the
Crusaders. Right now, we talked about their deen and their arcade.
Let's talk about their personalities.
Okay.
New to Dean. And so that had been two opposite personalities.
nurudeen grew up in a time that's not stable as wolves and foxes all
over the place. And we have to put 1,000% effort in order to get
this.
He was tough. It was very much like saying the dog and Sulaiman.
He was extremely tough. He was extremely strong.
Right. Salahuddin came up in luxury, he came up in the shadow
in the shadow of stability, the stability of *. Right. He
felt that you don't have to cut off next. We're powerful enough to
forgive. That's the difference. New tidying came up in a time
where if you want to survive, you got to cut next.
But Salahuddin came up in a time where he felt were powerful
enough, we can forgive.
So you could say that new to Dean was the personality of
cutting off next in a righteous way.
Like he didn't he was not a tyrant.
He didn't cut off next, when I say cut off next. It's like hyperbole
for not messing around.
Not letting your enemies hanger out.
Salah had Dean felt were so strong. Let's leave a good
impression. You never know where it's gonna go. And he forgave so
much. He forgave some of these crusaders so much that his sons
and his courtiers blamed him. Mandala. They blamed him.
She noted Dean let me give you an example of new to Dean's taqwa and
his piety. He never made a major decision except by Prentice Takata
in the middle of the night. And one of these decisions was that
there was a raid upon one of his cities by a crusader group.
And the Muslims captured the
they captured the
the king the head of that crusade.
So they've ransom Tim for a ton of money a lot of money to ransom him
back.
Second time did begin.
Took him ransom to him for a ton of money.
Third time
they said no to deep enough kilo. He said we're gonna kill him in
the morning. I just have we won't come today because I haven't used
the club.
He does this to her
in his istikhara
Yachty firstly, the province I sent him said the Muslim is not
bitten by the same snake twice or the same Scorpion twice.
You don't fall in the same Scorpion hole two times that means
but this is the third time now. Definitely got to kill this guy.
You
praises Takata.
And this time,
he sees the prophets I said,
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, noted in
double the ransom, and let him go.
He wakes up.
And he knows his courtiers, his ministers, his generals, they're
not going to accept this. So he goes any negotiates it himself
before the light comes up.
When they wake up at fudge, they knew what happened.
And he said, doubled the ransom. And let him go. Right? They said,
Are you serious? Third, so for the third time,
right, he said, This is what the messenger of Allah told me and I'm
going to trust the Messenger of Allah.
Before the, as they're spraying door announcement came in,
his horse fell, the guy dies, you didn't have to kill him and you
got the money. It's about Allah subhanaw taala. Just to show you
that the pony that Muslims have today, when you see a pious
person, that's the same piety that these kings have. We imagine if
you're king, you can't have that piety. You can't be worrying about
salah do the subtleties of prayer. Now they had that's how they
operated.
At the end of Salah had Dean's life, which we haven't talked
about yet.
His son was a businessman. Right? So I didn't son.
And
Salahuddin is the Son he used to tell. He said Tell him
you know, Father, the era of jihad is over. It's not the era of
jihad. So even this idea of like when father and son and there's a
new generation comes up and we feel that that's only a new thing
though that happened in the past too. Right? So new generation and
the son was like Guy enough with this Jihad stuff let's let's let's
do business with these guys. Like they're not a threat anymore. The
Crusaders are not a threat. People don't know.
So I had been son made a business deal where he gave the keys to
Jerusalem back to the Christians.
It just they had no impact, right? They had no army there was just
like symbolic
but he was a man of the job.
And people don't know that. So anyway, let's stop here. That
gives you a good idea and that my goal here with these is
essentially to give people a good idea of the history without
necessarily going into the details that you'll never remember anyway.
We can go back to the full screen and now start taking your
questions and your comments as we scorch in a day that is 92 degrees
today outside
where the air conditioner is basically struggling
to survive Hmm
It is definitely not blowing out any cold air no
no cold they're
terrible who said terrible
Yeah, is there turbo charge on this AC? Oh nice. There's turbo
charges like a video game
alright yeah he read us some of the comments and questions here
while I
wasn't
wasn't literally
you know the Assyrians or Ashara I don't know if that that time but
he's described as initially was the was giving the keys to
Jerusalem only symbolic of an actual handover. Yeah, it was sort
of like a symbolic type of handover that was there was no
real threat or another another change of life but
was his father right for doing what he did to Notre Dame? Allahu
Allah on NYU MSA? Would you come for Holika NYU one day. I'm
welcome at NYU.
I'll go Oh, go anywhere, right. If I'm welcome there
because it's close. It's only 45 minutes away from here. Oh, I
know. I didn't know I would be welcome
What else we got UCLA?
Should we emulate house lock have been dealt with.
Last I checked like we don't have much authority, right.
We don't have much authority to be honest. But
my whole philosophy is that the Quran mandates to us to clarify
the deen
the marbles fall where they fall right?
Don't muddy the beautiful waters of your beliefs and your deen.
That's what bothers me. Am I out for an attack on people? Not
necessarily. They'll say attack me. Right. But
I liked I, you love the deen so much when you experience it, the
last thing you want is someone muddying the waters with some
ideas that aren't accepted. And, and we have a history, we know
what our dean is. There's not going to be any new discoveries in
Ocarina, right? So that's my take. And that's my approach to things.
And I work in a masjid. Unlike some people work in universities,
right? I work in a masjid, that Masjid. It's, I wouldn't say I
work. But I say my place of where I do my Dawa work is a masjid. The
people there, they bring their kids, they bring their families,
right. You need to bring them a simple, predictable and consistent
message. Otherwise, just walk out confused, right? You can't build
on some wishy washy stuff.
And if you want to look at it, I challenge you go look at that
wishy washy operations, and show me what they've produced in 10
years. I guarantee you, maybe it'll be people who are like
activity, but
will it be someone with a sound solid understanding of the deal
that could now lead to Holika? teach kids teach the next
generation move up? The answer is no. And my colleague, and the
director of our masjid, he did a study, you know, his own
observations that he said, there's two types of masajid. There's one
type of Masjid where it's oriented on its, on a principle, a belief
system.
Right? It's oriented around that. There's another type of Masjid
that is oriented on like generalism of Islam. And there's
no one belief system that they're espousing. And he says that in the
short run the ladder, the one that's general and just accept
everyone, and everyone's welcome, like a United States version of a
mosque, anyone can come in and do your thing. In the short run, it
looks more impressive, because they get a lot of people. And they
do a lot of things and the governor goes there, blah, blah,
blah. But in the long run, it's just ineptitude. It's that they
don't produce anything of value. And people leave when they really
want Dean. Yet the misogyny that are based on a principle and a
methodology and Arpita.
In the short run, many people feel like they're not welcome there.
Because it's not giving them the pizza that they want. Right? It's
not giving them the food and the ideas that they want it saying
ideas that they don't like.
So they leave in the short run. But in the long run, these these
people call us, they have unity. They have a curriculum that they
could pass on, and they do pass it on, and they grow and they flower
out of them. And that's the methodology that I go by. And
that's why I don't like to mince words and mess around in terms of
matters of Dean.
Prince Matthew, may Allah try to make you king instead of Prince?
Because that's, I guess, your next step.
What else
was there? Was there a similar people population during the time
of Meridian and slept with
her nebula? You mean? Yes, they were somebody's they were
Humphries Hypno. Kodama was there in Damascus.
And the time of Salahuddin
anyone wants to support this podcast you go to patreon.com
backslash Safina society. Again, that is patreon.com backslash
Safina Saudi all of your support is extremely appreciated. And
we're only able to put this together
by the thing with gratitude to Allah subhana wa Tada and then to
the people who who financially put their weight behind the nothing
but facts live stream
you can ask any question you can ask any question? Yeah. Until we
basically all if you start seeing that we're all red in the face and
completely fried because the poor AC cannot even keep up with this
heat.
Turbos working good hopefully.
Well, Ryan, you seem to be like sturdy against all temperatures
Right?
Like in the cold he does hardly wears a jacket in the heat. He's
not sweating.
I heard Dr. Amato saying that Salah had Dean was the student of
Abu college and I don't know if they ever met to be honest, but I
do know that even a pajama was a student of abracadabra Jelani in
his
Yep.
And he was in the time of
noted de Sala had
a singer
mentioned bass or someone who speaks well, basically
Mohammed says one of sons whose governing principle is the normal
law, where you have people on your side. So that's an interesting
perspective on what is the blessing rule? Sorry, the moral
law.
Hey, look up sons whose moral law and read it to us
yeah Sunsoo Art of War. Everyone reads that to try to be like to
whatever, you know, Sun Tzu.
He's got some good principles there. Some of us when we build up
the habit of praying
how do we build up the habit of praying too often by only praying
one nephila
And then remaining consistent on that for a couple months, then
praying another one, remain consistent.
Put the pillow pull up the mic to your mouth and read this this
principle?
The first one is
Yeah. When all without fighting? No, the moral the moral code.
Meanwhile, Layli says what is the significance of Abdulkadir Gilani?
My father is very passionate about it. He is one of the
great Ellia of Islamic history, meaning that he's one of those who
are extremely pious and who, whose piety has impacted
millions of people over the centuries. And his path in
spirituality is followed by many, many people in North and West
Africa. In the subcontinent, so many places shaken up, funny,
nice, name, their shape, but in shaken up says
As Salam aleikum just came in these history lessons every
Thursdays every Thursday is stories of the LDS which does
involve some history to stories of the LDS
monopoly
games with dice are between haram and mcru to play games with dice
yeah
Miss organized chaos
you know what I'm looking at these names to be honest with you.
What is the moral code that he's talking about here?
us sort of sister of Harris's here.
I'm starting law school says ah best I'm gonna miss this live
stream handler for 100 days and 100 episodes so h bas May Allah
try to protect you. May Allah Tala keep you on the right path and
benefit some
benefit. You know from your law school, be able to give benefit to
the Ummah afterwards, enter yourself into your own pocketbook
glitters. If we fall in love with some can we say Allah put that
love in our heart?
Allah put the love in your heart. But that does not necessarily mean
that because everything goes back to the Creator. So you cannot
judge that that's something that Allah
is saying is good for you, too. You have to judge that by the
shittier.
That's how I will say you judge it by the sheer
street. What's my view on street doubt? Not very favorable, to be
honest.
Yeah, I find it to be awkward. Straight down, you open a table on
the street. And you just talk to people like that. You do that in
England? I can't say I'm against it. But I can't say that. Um,
it seems to me that it's I think Dawa, to me is is showing your
entire community strength and benefit other communities.
Like for example, Dow for us is establishing here in New
Brunswick, decades of stability and benefit to the greater New
Brunswick Community.
And yes, is preaching part of it. Of course it is right. But the
bedrock is some street credibility.
And where do I get that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam did not come out of a vacuum to preach to his people.
He came
after his grandfather was known as the savior of his people.
So it's extremely important to have like some street credibility.
All right, read for me, me
cuz my phones are uploading the Wi Fi is it's so overloaded because
of the heat. I didn't know that Wi Fi was affected by heat. But we're
gonna have to stop before literally we get sick and I'm
already sick by the way
your internet's not working go.
Is it permissible to wear pants folded if they go below your
pants, I don't believe is related to the ankles matter. Because the
ankle, gone below the ankle, the prophesies center specified the
izhar.
These are as odd as the waist strap or the film extends to the
Pope. And why do I say that? Because there was a context to
that hadith.
The ancient times the rich and elite war, dragging his horse, it
was a thing to show you a rich elite. Is it a thing today that
you're cool, or you're rich? Because your paint goes by in the
ankle. The province I sell them, Tolson. Abubaker year is army
slipped down because you're thin, but you don't do it out of
arrogance. So the Prophet gave us the cause of that prohibition,
which is if you're doing it out of arrogance, today, any old regular
pet goes under the
a little bit under the ankle, because that's just, that's what a
pen is. So it doesn't really extend to the pet. If you ask me
about that.
And not just me many, I've seen many, many, many, many, many of
the Allamah
come visit Western countries and they wear pants, or they're in
their own country, they wear pants, the pink goes beyond the
like a little bit it's not so it's not something that is but when
they wear a thong or an Huizar, it's above the so that's a
difference. We'll take one more big before we explode from
some set of questions, how do you how should you interact? If you're
around those who don't, like dislike you? Or you don't have the
best relationship with
it? If someone doesn't like me, I try to get out of the room.
I try to I try not to be in the same presence as this person. Why
bother myself? Explain to me Give me one reason why I have to. Now
if they're family, I can still get out of the room. Right? They come
in as someone or wife comes through.
Let me just step outside for a second. I'll be right back. I will
be right back. Maybe in an hour, maybe in 20 minutes. I leave the
room. I don't play games anymore. I'm too old for that. Right? When
I was young, I may have been forced, I may not know how to deal
with things. But now I just cut the snake from that. We don't like
each other.
My fake, right?
I just leave the room. I'm not dealing with you. I'm not hating
on you. Right? I'm not faking smiles with you. Just what I'll
give you one fix months and I'm gonna write that I'm leaving the
room. I don't bother you don't answer the phone. You don't ever
answer my texts. When I say something you mock and you roll
your tongue with you. Essentially.
There's nothing good coming out of this. And I'm not your Savior. I
need to I don't need you don't need me. I don't need you. Right.
Why bother? Life is too short.
But
we do have to temper this a little bit. Why? Because if every time a
person says, Hey, someone is giving me grief, I can just cut
them off. You're going to be a selfish, right likes, Silo onto
your own island onto your own. So you have to do you do have to
temper it a little bit levels? There are levels of it. Yeah,
there are levels of it. So if that person
is part of your family, then I think that there should be always
a bridge there. Because the opposite extreme is uh oh, you
give me a hard time I cut you off, give me hours, I'm gonna cut you
off.
Where's your patients? Maybe you actually are rock, right? Maybe
you're wrong. Maybe your personality doesn't need fix it.
So you do have to temper it a little bit and not always use that
so quickly with everybody. You just become a massive egomaniac
after a while. Because as soon as anyone says anything to you just
cut them off. So you have to
keep that in mind too. Are you supposed to forgive and forget?
I forgive you. Hello. So I forget you but I don't have to hang out
with you, right? You're not supposed to forgive and forget.
You're not obligated to forgive and forget who told you? We're not
Christians here? No. If I want justice, I could get justice. I
have people. I'm waiting for the justice when I see the justice in
front of me on yomo piano and I enjoy it. Then I'll forgive you.
Right. It's okay for us. Oh angels to give let him have their
headsets back. But maybe I'll need those fasteners. I'm not giving
away value, right for free. Let's see if I need
those hundreds on the Day of Judgment right first. So
forgiveness is often misunderstood by the week it's a cover of the
week is one of the things that Nietzsche said that was actually
correct. And I'm not quoting it because Nietzsche said it he just
made the observation that everyone else makes. You have no ability to
get justice. So you let it go and call it forgiveness. You're not
virtuous forgiveness is when the guy
he's on the what did the French call that thing?
His head is on the on the guillotine. Then you forgive him.
That's forgiveness. His head's on the guillotine. Right? You enjoy
the view. Then you said okay, I forget now I forgive but you the
guy doesn't go * your wife kill your kids kill your mom run away.
And then you say I forgive him. You didn't forgive him? You're
just two weeks to get justice. So don't confuse forgiveness with
being two weeks to get justice. Right spiralized said * your
wife * your mom and the the boss are here. Ready? Like
seriously, it's unbelievable the speed by which the bucks come?
Right. Keywords unbelievable. Subhanallah I mean, Google's got
to do something about this. Alright, folks, I really wish we
could stay a little longer. Does that come a little later?
