And he died at the age of 85. Now Ali ibn Abi Talib smother or the
wife of Abu Talib is who her name is Fatima bint Assad vinta Hashem.
So she's also from Hashem is descent. Okay, so Ali is related
to the Prophet Muhammad say salam from both the father and the
mother from both both sides. And Ali was the first offspring that
both his parents were from what from the Hashem is okay. His
mother Fatima converted to Islam earlier on and migrated and she
died in Medina. And the prophet is the one who prayed Janessa on her,
and he carried her down to her grave, and he used his own cloak
for her Kevin he covered her in his own cloak. And he said by
Allah, I haven't seen anyone treat me better than this woman. After
Abu Talib, she says, she says aren't like she says uncle's wife.
This lady raised me and stood by me. Okay, so this is what his
parents now I live in Abu Talib had two names that he was called
by the first one was abolhassan because of his first son or his
older son was who al Hassan. Right. And the second name was
added to rob to rob means dirt, you know, like owner of the dirt
or Sahara dirt. And the story behind it is this as follows. Now,
the Prophet Muhammad says, tell them when to visit his daughter,
Fatima, who was married to Olive Nobita lived. And he found that
they had had an argument. So the Prophet Muhammad says Selim asked
her, you know, where's your husband? And she replied, He left
upset. He went to the masjid. Now look at the father in law's
response here like usually if you're, you know, you go you find
your daughter says, like, where is he? What did he tell you? You
know, I'll show him his business, whatever. He didn't ask her what
happened? What did he say to you? All right. And she didn't tell him
what happened as well to keep what the secrets of her home. And then
he went and he left and he went where to the masjid and when he
went to Holly, he did not ask him what happened either. So he went
to the masjid and he found the alley laying there down on the
dirt. Because, you know, they didn't have like the nice fancy
rugs that we have now and the heat and everything, the profits, which
was nothing, they had like some, you know, leaves from the palm
trees for the roofs and it was just the plain dirt laying down on
the floor with his cloak with his hand under his cheek. So he went
to him and he said patted me he said, What? Get up a butter up,
get up. Avature like Get up you know, you're like person, you're
full of dirt. You know, he's like, you know, he's older, he was
starting to, you know, joke with him telling getting get up and the
Prophet and Satan Ali smile started laughing, you know, kind
of like, broke the ice, you know, and he got up and started
laughing. And he was actually proud of this name, because it was
kind of like a joke name, you know, other to rob, you know, full
of dirt, you know, get up, you're full of dirt. And that was his
second name. Okay. Now for his siblings. They're all from the
same parent. So I will tell him and Fatima were married the whole
time. He didn't marry anybody else. And he had three brothers
and two sisters. And their order by age was following Taalib and
then appeal, and then golfer and then I'll even ABI Taalib and then
Omaha and his sister and then Germanna. And the funny thing is
there between every brother and the other one was 10 years. Can
you imagine so like 10 years and then 20 and then 30 and 40. And
then they had the what? The two girls after that? No one knows if
told him the oldest ever converted to Islam. There's nothing to say
in the narrations. As for our kids is the second brother. He
converted much later on, and he had great status in Islam. And he
had many kids, seven of them died marchers in Karbala, the bit of a
Battle of Karbala with Al Hussein, they were great supporters what
for Hussein? As for golfer he was known as GAFA you're right, the
flying theonomy Somebody is flying and he died as a martyr in the in
the Battle of water. After his right arm was cut off and then his
left arm was cut off. And the Prophet Muhammad Salim said his
fame famous saying I see him now flying in the heavens, eating from
its fruits and it's what I'm drinking from its rivers. It's
partly because he lost both his arms as if Allah subhanaw taala
gave him wings. He's flying in heaven. So that he was called what
golfer at the yard, the flying golfer, the flying spa. Now his
sister's The first one was on the hand, and she converted his time
Wally early on, like as soon as time was there, she converted
right away, like Ali and golfer. And he was in her house on the
night of the Prophet was in her house and the night of Australian
marriage. And she had great situations of support with the
Prophet Muhammad SAW Selim, specifically at the time of the
opening of Mecca. And at that time, on the day of the opening of
MacBook Mecca two of the words of the disbelievers who really harmed
a lot of the Muslims ran to her and they said what to our
protectors on my hand and hide us in your house? They'll kill us if
they find us for what we have done. So she was hoping and they
said what we promise you that we bear witness that there's no God
except Allah and that he says the messenger. So she was she was she
kind of got greedy, like, okay, you know what, they're going to
become like really good Muslims. So she agreed, and she hit them.
But Ali saw them running were into his sister's house. So he's like,
okay, great. Now I got them. I caught them. They were my sister's
house, she's gonna have to, you know, there's no way she's not
going to, you know, turn them on. They're very bad people. So he
walked in and he said, bring them in. So she said, No, I have given
them my protection. Look at her strong character here. So he said
by Allah, I will not leave them until I take them. And she replied
by Allah, I will not hand them over to until I speak to the
Prophet Muhammad. So Salam. So she went to the Prophet Muhammad says
salam and she told him what happened. And she said, You are
rasool Allah, I gave them my protection. So the Prophet
Muhammad Hassan replied and said, or you'd have said, what these are
all
because this is an army, we have to have turnover there, traders,
whatever he said, What, and we have protected whom you have
protected on the hand. And you see here, the Prophet Muhammad says,
tell him how he's honoring the words, but not just the words, but
the actions of a Muslim woman. A lot of the sisters who fear that
Islam will take away your rights or they take away, you know, or
restrict you in any way. See how the Prophet Muhammad said, I'm
just honored her because she said something. He didn't want her what
to take her word back. And he honored that and that's how Islam
is, although it was different from what he had ordered to do.
Now, let's look at our lease of eternal I live in Abu salah, his
wives, his first wife was Fatima, of course, the wife of the Prophet
Muhammad Salim, and he lived with her till she died. And then he
didn't marry anyone for quite a period of time. But after her
death, he's married several times for different reasons. Like once
he got married, and she died. And then another time we met, you
know, different reasons he got married, alright, and he had a lot
of kids. But his first marriage was from Fatima. He married her
when she was 18 years old, sometime between the second and
the third visionary year, and they had four children and Hassan Of
course, and Al Hussein zeyneb and omocha stone, and she passed away
after the Prophet Muhammad was salam with what, what, six months
if you remember we said that before. And it was the prophets
habit. We said whenever that she walked in on him, he would get up,
hug her and kiss her on her forehead between her eyebrows. But
on the day that he was dying when she went and walked in upon him.
The Prophet Muhammad said it was too weak to get up and what and
hug her and so she started crying. So she told he told her what come
closer to me, and he whispered in her ear something. So she started
crying even more and more. So when he found her crying even more and
more, he told her come closer again. And he whispered again,
something in her ears and she started what's laughing. And later
on after the Prophet died, Aisha came and told me Fatima. What made
you laugh, you know, a cry, laugh at the same time. What did the
Prophet tell you? So she said, the first time he told me, Fatima, I'm
dying tonight. That's it. So I started crying really hard. So
when he saw me crying even more, he told me come closer again. He
told me Fatima. Good news are glad tidings. You are the first one who
is going to catch up with me. Okay, so she was happy. She's the
first one who is going to be one with the province. She said, like,
you know, what do I want from this life? I'm going to be in heaven
with the Prophet Mohammed says salam with my father. What could
be more than that? Okay, so I left.
So as we said, the marriage between the second and the third
history year, and she died six months after the Prophet said, so
that Prophet died and six months later who died. So their whole
marriage was about seven years or seven and a half years or a little
bit more. And she died around the age of 26 years old. As for how
they got married, Fatima, had got two marriage proposals. The first
one was from Abu Bakr Siddiq, right. And the second one is from
Ahmedabad, the hot tub. But the Prophet Muhammad said Salam said,
What? No, she's too young. You see how here he was concerned about
the age difference? He said, No, she was too young. So a young
servant from the from the household of the Prophet rancher,
Helene said, why don't you go and propose for Fatima? Why don't you
ask her for to his hand. So he said, but I have nothing to get
married with, you know. And it's important to note here that I will
tell him his house guys was a house of foot. Like I will tell
them how to run a lot of like, you know, he had a word and among the
grocery peoples, he had great rank and pristine, but they were not
rich people. They were not rich people. He had a lot of kids. And
that was a lot of burden on him. But he was great status. And it's
very important to teach our kids doesn't matter how much you have.
It's who you are. And, you know, they were people who their word
was heard or listened to, you know, not because they had money,
but because of how honorable they are and how, you know, good of
people they were so that's the kind of house okay, so you told
her what I don't have nothing to get married with. Okay.
So as the servant told him, if you go to the Prophet Muhammad sai
Salam, he will marry her to you. So she, she, she felt something.
So he said, Do you think so? She replied, Yes. So he went to the
Prophet Mohammed Salim. And he told him, the Prophet told him
what come on in Ali. So he went on and he sat down. He didn't utter a
word. You know, he's like, Okay, I'm here. Now, what do I say this
is the prophet sitting in front of me. And I'm like, I have nothing
and I'm coming to ask for his daughter's hand. So he sat there
and he couldn't utter a word. Okay, so the Prophet Muhammad says
salam asked him, What has brought you here? Still no word. He's just
sitting there silent. Okay. He's saying at least he's later on, I
was overtaken by the greatness that this is the Prophet Muhammad
sighs Hello, can you imagine? Okay, so the Prophet looked at me
and smiled. And he said, maybe you're coming to ask for Fatima's
hand. All right. He understood like it was guys coming sitting
down what is wrong with you? Why are you just sitting there? Like,
okay, you know, like, you know, brain freeze. He's like, okay,
maybe you were coming to us for Fatima's hand. So I said yes. Oh,
Prophet of Allah like is like, Yes, that's what I'm coming for.
So he said, Do you have enough to marry her? So he replied, Oh, no
prophet of Allah. He said, Don't you have an arm like a barrier?
No, one of the arms that used to carry those arms the shields I
said, Yes. By the One who created Ali, I do have one, but I'm
carrying two I'm coming to marry. You know, what would you want from
my you know, my, whatever it's called, the better the arms the
arms that I carry. It's nothing worse than 400 Durham's
He said, I know and I'll marry her to you with it. That's it. That's
all I want from you. That's her dowry. Do you see how he married
his daughter, okay? Woman don't have a price they're not sold. It
doesn't matter how much a person pays for your daughter, it's who
the person is. It's very important for us because the culture we were
raised from, how much do you make? How much you paying for her dowry?
How am I going to guarantee for her Maka rewards made at the end?
This all doesn't matter. It's somebody who takes your daughter
and honors them. If this is the Prophet Muhammad salams daughter,
the Seal of all messengers is married with a dowry of just a
little arm that he held or a shield that he held, then what
should we be doing? Subhanallah All right, I'm gonna ask you to go
make her live like in you know, in, you know, in the swamp or the
dirt or whatever, but you try to choose somebody who's a good man
for them, somebody who's going to honor them and protect them and
treat them like queens. Basically, that's what it is. It's not about
how much they pay. Because, you know, it's not about money, your
daughter's you know, if you're going to think about worth and you
know, the prophets daughter is worth what millions and millions,
she's the prophets daughter, who can be better than her. But it's
not about money. Women are not for sale, it's not that you're not
selling your daughter, okay. So, so basically, so he said, I agree,
and Ally was, you do Oh prophet of Allah. And he agreed, so they were
both the ally agreed to and the Prophet has agreed to it and
Fatima agreed to it. And it was their wedding day. And the Prophet
Muhammad Salim said, What, wait for me, you know, like, don't go
ahead and you know, you know, because, you know, consummate the
marriage which for me, it's their wedding day, and the Prophet
Muhammad Salim came to them, and he made to do and then he used
from the water, and he sprinkled on Ali's face, and then he
sprinkled some of the water on phytomass face, who was very,
extremely shy. And then he said to Holly, put your hand on Fantomas
forehead and say after me, Oh Allah, I ask you to sustain her to
sustain me with all her good, and the good that she was created for
and protect me from her evil and any evil that she was created for.
You see this, this is how they're starting their life and obeying
Allah subhanaw taala. Okay. And then he said, What? Let's pray to
rock us together. Okay. Now, this is a house of a Muslim or this is
how a Muslim house should start. Nowadays, you see people, even
Muslims, you see how they started their wedding night with dancing
and drinking like it's okay. Or you know, a wedding night it's
okay. Subhanallah what kind of house is a house is going to last
a house that starts in the obeying of Allah Allah from the first
night they started to live by what praying to raka so Allah subhanaw
taala and that's what we should teach our children and that's why
the Prophet told them wait until I come to you and he taught them the
diet and then what he prayed with them the terracotta and that's how
they started okay? And unsourced said we went and saw the people of
Medina said we went to their house to celebrate their marriage and
congratulate them. And they Allah we did not find anything except a
bamboo rug on the floor, and a pillow filled with two for you
know, the loofah you know how rough that thing is the thing that
we scrub with a pillow that was stuffed with it wasn't like
stuffed with cotton. It wasn't stuff with you know, anything
fuzzy No. With loofa Okay, and a jug of water and a cup to bathe
with. This is the Prophet Muhammad so salams daughter's house. Can
you imagine the prophets daughter's house? Can you imagine
the simplicity Okay. And we'll talk later in detail how their
life was with together after her death after Fatima died at 26 he
married as met Ben Thomas. I don't know if you remember we said she
was married to remember to remember who she was married to.
Okay, she was married to Abu Bakr Siddiq. Remember she was first
married to golfer his older brother. And when golfer died, Abu
Bakr Siddiq married her and then when a worker died, I live in a
better live who married her Okay, so that was his second wife, okay.
And he married several times, and he had 14 Boys and 19 Girls in
total. Mashallah, so I can't imagine how many wives I don't
know we're gonna go into that later but he had 14 Boys and 19
Girls, of course for them as we said we're ready from home Fatima
Fatima Zahra. Okay, some of them some of the names that were
mentioned in the Hadith were that Hassan and Hussein Zainab Ahmed
CUSUM Mohammed Mohammed Al Akbar Abu Bakr, Al Abbas, Osman GAFA
Yahia out Ahmed Mohammed Al Assad, or Mohammed Munna, omocha zoom as
soon as Sagara Fatima, Khadija and almost selama These were just some
of their names okay. Now, if you look at their names, okay. What
does it tell you?
You have first of all two of his sons were named Muhammad out of
his love for who the Prophet Muhammad semi had Muhammad the
great Muhammad Akbar and Muhammad Lhasa, so named to who names the
same son Muhammad, you know, like Muhammad, Muhammad Ali Come on,
like how many Muhammad's Okay, and then after that, you see that and
this is the same thing that the honorable hottap did that, okay,
there was a hadith that said what the best of names for Allah
subhanaw taala were Abdullah and Abdul Rahman. So he named his
three sons what? Abdul Rahman Abdul Rahman, Abdul Rahman, he had
abdominal Akbar abdominal also that entrepreneur so he said, if
these are the last, the most favorite names to Allah, and I
love the word draft, man, then all three of my sons are going to be
called the rock man, you know, that was I'm gonna, I'm gonna be
in a hot tub. Okay, so you have your
have two of them. Okay? And once there was a nice incident that
happened when Mohammed Al Akbar, okay, and Al Hassan and they were
close in age, the two brothers, they're the sons of family, okay?
They were upset with each other, and they weren't talking to each
other. So Mohammed Al Akbar, who is his step brother wrote him a
letter and he said to what will happen? He said, What told him
kindly come and ask about me. So Hassan was, you know, was
surprised I'm upset with you and I'm supposed to come with you and
ask about you like, why don't you come and ask about me? So Mohammed
replied, Well, I heard the Prophet Muhammad Salam say that the better
one of you starts with what with reconciliation with reconcile
reconciling, and I know that you're better than me Hassan. And
that your mother Fatima is better than my my mother, Hannah, Hannah,
Sophia. Alright. Now you see how they were like these were just one
of the incident happened between the brothers okay. Now if you look
at the names again, there are two names that are names of the
prophets, right Muhammad and Yahia and three names of the wives the
wives of the Prophet Muhammad Salem, you know, Khadija, my Munna
and Alma Selma, and then the names of the three caliphs, Abu Bok Alma
and Osman. And this was a very good reason for him to prove to
because he was the fourth caliph, that he had no grudges no hard
feelings whatsoever for the three girls that passed before him that
people cannot you like you can name your your son after somebody
you don't love what I'm saying. So that was something just to cut any
kind of doubt that he had any disagreements with the three
pascalis. So you had Omar and he had Abu Bakr and he had Osman,
okay. And then of course, he had who as well, who else as well,
Fatima, which is after his first wife, can you imagine? You know,
you're married to Fatima and then Fatima dies and you marry somebody
in the Union Fatima your wife is going to definitely kill you like
you know, your suit tonight who would ever agree to that? But then
you see again here that you know, it tells you how his other wife
must have been like, you know that she agreed that her husband would
honor his first wife and she let him was named after his first wife
and how silly he had that loyalty was first you know his first wife
Fatima. Now let's look at his Islam. Now. Some scholars say he
converted seven and others say he converted nine and someone or the
closest or the most of the scholars agreed that he converted
the age of 10 Okay, when Ali was five years old, Allah best which
is what the Prophet Muhammad salams other uncle's Abu Talib
Allah best and the Prophet Muhammad Salim went to Abu Talib
and they told him you have too many children okay. And we see
that there are financial burden on you. So the Prophet said I will
take Hallie and raise him and Allah Bassett, LT golfer and
recently okay Subhan Allah the Prophet was raised were in his
uncle's house and then his uncle's son is going to be raised in his
house. He said I'm saying the Prophet was reasonable Talibs
house and Ali which is the son of Alberto is going to be raised in
the prophets house upon a Loki and I lived in the Prophet Maha salams
house, to the prophecy came down, and golfer lived with our best
until he converted, okay, so he was 10 years old. And one night he
entered upon who the Prophet Muhammad says salam, this was like
the second day, like the day of the revelation, okay, they came
down and he found the Prophet Muhammad. I said, I'm standing
praying, and next to him who, Khadija.
So after they finished, he asked him, What is this? You know, what,
what are you doing? They replied, This is God's religion, that Allah
subhanaw taala has selected for his worshipers, and has chosen me
to be his messenger. So bear witness, Ali. So Ali said, this is
a great matter. We don't meet until I discuss this with my
father. Can you imagine this is a response of a 10 year old like you
tell him like, you know, if you tell your daughter where was like,
Okay, I bear witness, you won't even understand what you say. He's
like, no, no, no, wait a minute, this is a great matter. Let me
discuss this with my father first. Okay, so the Prophet replied, If
you're not going to convert, don't spread the word out yet. No one
knows about it. So he said, Okay, let me think about this. 10 years
old, okay. So he stayed up all night thinking. And in the
morning, he went to the Prophet Mohammed Salim and he told him,
repeat to me again, what you said last night. So the Prophet
Muhammad says Alan repeated to him what he told him before. Sally
replied, I bear witness that there is no God except Allah, and that
you are His messenger. 10 years old, sitting up at night thinking,
Can I mean what kind of kids I remember thinking, honest to God,
I feel like disappointed when I think about my kids right now this
time, like, do our kids really think and contemplate and
understand and comprehend like these kids were? How were they
raised? You know, what was put into their mentality to think that
way just sit and actually be able to comprehend something like this,
okay? And I've ever witnessed that there's no God except Allah and
that you are His messenger. And I will keep your secrets. Can you
imagine tell them and I will keep your secret. And he kept a secret
and he converted to one day his father Abu Talib saw him and asked
him What are you doing? So he replied, I have believed in Allah
and have followed his messenger Muhammad, and I am steadfast and I
call you Oh, Father, I will tell him to what to Islam. So Batali
replied, My dear son, what you do is what you do, and that is to
listen to Muhammad and follow Him for He will only lead you to
what's good. Can you imagine? As for me, I cannot
If my parents religion, it's really surprised me again I will
tell him like he was. He encouraged his son, his own son.
Go ahead and follow Muhammad he will never lead you to something
bad. But despite that I can just leave my parents religions follow.
And there's a very nice story that was narrated. Once a tradesman
came his name was if he fell Kennedy and he came to market to
buy perfumes and he sat with lobbyists in his tent. And as he
talked with our best, he will keep on looking at the kava, and then
admit that we can our best lobby for Kennedy says what a myth that
came a man and he stood facing the Kaaba. And he started saying
something. And then a young boy came, and he stood on his right
next on his right side facing the cover. Then a woman came and stood
behind them facing the cover. So the man bowed to the boy bowed,
and then the lady bowed. And then he stood up. So the boy stood up
and the lady stood up. And then he went down, and the boy went down
and the lady went down. So I asked her best, what is this? This is a
great matter what is going on? Like, what is this is something
very strange to him, so that I best replied indeed, it's a great
matter. So my best replied to him. Uh, what is it? He said, it's a
new religion, okay. It's a new religion. So he said, and who is
the man? He said, Do you not know him? ibises replying to it for
Kennedy's like, Do you not know? And he said, No. He said, This is
my nephew, Muhammad, Abdullah Abdullah. He said, And who was the
young boy? He said, he's also my nephew. I lived in Bhutan. And he
said, and who is the lady who replied, It's Khadija been to
Hawaii eyelid? And by Allah, I do not know of anyone on the earth
surface. who is a Muslim other than this three? Can you imagine?
So the only three who are worshipping Allah subhanaw taala.
At that time more who said no, Mohammed Salim Khadija and the 10
year old are leaving avatar, can you imagine? Now
this is a great honor. He converted before reaching puberty
before he was held accountable in front of Allah subhanaw taala for
an event. EDT never bowed down to a statue, never drank never did a
major sin. And as a pneumatic says, The revelation came down on
the Prophet on Monday, Khadija converted on Monday and Holly on
Tuesday, Subhan Allah right there right there the next thing, and
the new iteration is different whether there was Abubaker, first,
or Alma, like the Companions, you'll see there are different
like no one like I was the third one. No, I was the third one. And
that was because once they heard the message, a lot of them
converted in privacy and secrecy. Nobody knew nobody told the other
one. So they might be all we don't really know who was the first one
of them because it was between them and Allah subhanaw taala that
they actually bear witness that there was no god except Him Subhan
Allah. And so that's how he converted to Islam. So he moved to
the Prophet Muhammad salams household at the age of five. And
at the Prophet Muhammad Salim was 35 years old at that time, he was
younger than the Prophet Muhammad Salim was 30 years as we see, and
he migrated when he was 23 years old. He helped the Muslims banner
in the battles of bedre and Ohio at the age of 25. That's how he
was okay. And he led the Muslims in the Battle of hybrid at the age
of 30. The Prophet Muhammad Salim died when he was 33 years old. He
became the Caliph when he was 50 years old. 58 years old, sorry.
And he was the Caliph for four years and nine months. And he died
63 years old, like the Prophet Muhammad sai Salam. So these are
the dates in his lives. And now what does he look like quick
description of him and we posted in the next show next week, we'll
go into like his real life, how he was with the Prophet and so on.
They say he was not too tall. Neither was he too short. And it
was said if you looked at Holly's face it as if as you looked at the
moon on a bright night Subhanallah okay, if he smiled, he looked like
the Prophet Muhammad Ali Salim because they're cousins. There was
some similarity between them. And if you walked in front of you, you
would think it was the prophet Muhammad so Salam, so he had the
same walk as the Prophet Muhammad says salam he was very muscular
full of muscles right so all those people you know, go work out now
you know, God Satan, Ali was also very muscular, very heavy on the
chest and the soldiers very on the soldier on the shoulder. Sorry, he
had thick hands and he was very strong. Okay, so that was a very
quick description of it. And we talked about as he came in the
narration, okay. How he was later in sha Allah, how he got married,
who he married, how he was with the Prophet Muhammad Salim how he
supported the Prophet and how he was a Caliph. We'll talk about in
schottlander coming you know, maybe he's lecturing to Inshallah,
inshallah so and you
