And he was only one of two meaning there were two. While they were both in the cave, he reassured his companion Do not worry. Allah is certainly with a flatter horizon in Hola Hola. Hola. Hola todos en in Namaha Nana, so Allah sent down serenity tranquility upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam supporting him with forces that you believers did not see. And he made the word of the disbelievers lowest meaningless, disgraced, while the word of Allah we know is
supreme. And Allah subhanaw taala is almighty always. The one who accompany the Prophet SAW Selim was foretold in fact, Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam mentioned that he had a dream in which he was shown the place the place or the land in which he would migrate and informed Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah to prepare for that journey. Abu Bakr so the Quran the Allah one quick trivia question here What is his actual name? What was his name before this title of us so the
quick trivia questions here we're embedding trivia into our live programs.
I'm loving Earth man excellent. I do love in Earth man. Also Abdullah being able to have you can utilize both of these and shallow Tyler and his father Earth none. I will happen he basically in Arabic ABI of have. He accepted Islam on the day of victory in Mecca, and his mother Selma, also known as omal. Hyde. She embraced Islam early and she also migrated to Medina.
In terms of the tab to the order of male companions who embraced Islam, where does a MOBA probably long run who lie? Meaning Where's Mr. Buckley in that order? Was he the fifth? Was he the third? Was he the 10th second amongst the male companions.
He was the first to embrace Islam. He was the first to embrace Islam. He was the first to embrace Islam, as many of the historians have stated.
And Allah Subhana Allah knows best. Why is this so important? This ayah right here, think about the story of the migration, the Hadron and the cave have filled. The Cave of thought is the cave in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And Abu Bakr Radi Allahu, and sought refuge at the start of their migration. And the migration here, the hedgerow to Medina, as they were escaping the persecution of the pagans in Quraysh. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the 14 Theater of prophethood, approximately maybe approximately September of your 620 to see he went to the house of his companion, the one he trusts the most with his company and his property, a workload the long
run, and they both left the house of Abu Bakr Radi Allahu one from an area that was not expected and they hurried before dawn, knowing that Qureshi would chase after them, What did the Prophet salallahu Salam and Abu Bakr to do? Rather than
then taking the road north, basically to Medina. This is what the maastrichtian had been expecting and this is what they would rather expect. The Prophet Salah license took a road in the opposite direction south of Mecca, leading to basically Yemen for several miles kilometers, approximately five miles I believe, until they reached a rough rocky area or rough rocky mountain called self and they're the shoes of the Prophet. So I sent them we would imagine are worn out. And some of the historian said perhaps they were trying to tip toe so there would not be a clear trail behind them. And we were crawling along one assist to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam up that mountain to
the cave, the cave of thought again and when they reach the cave, Abu Bakr on the Allahu Anhu said, By Allah you will not enter until I've entered before you in case there's something harmful in sight, so that I would rather it would affect me rather than affecting you think of the status of Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah. And
he went in and he made sure it was cleaned out found basically a hole in its side inside the cave. So he tore off part of his waist garment and he plugged the hole with it. There were two more holes in that cave. So he plugged them with his feet, like block them with his own feet, only Allah Juan. And then he told the Prophet salallahu Salam, that he could enter that it was safe to enter the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam entered and when he came, he laid his head in the lap of Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Hwan and eventually fell asleep. Can't imagine how tired they weren't. Suddenly, I will work on the Aloha on his foot was stung. And he didn't want to move so that the Prophet
salallahu Salam would not be awakened. But it hurts so much that eventually he started tearing up, and his tears fell on the face of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, the Prophet alayhi salatu salam asked him what was wrong so he woke up anyway. And he said I was stung me my mother and father be sacrificed for you. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam applied his blood saliva on the foot of Abu Bakr on the long run, and the pain immediately disappeared. They remain there for Friday, Saturday, Sunday for three nights.
And some of those who are looking for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and for Abu Bakr Alia law, one would look every word search everywhere. And as they search and search and search eventually what did they have to do? They needed like an emergency meeting, that these two most important men wanted men. They're trying to persecute the prophets like Selim, and the Muslims, again, they migrated already. So now they are actively looking to quote unquote arrest the Prophet salallahu Salam and Abu Bakr, they're after them, so decided to block all the roads leading out of Mecca, and they imposed heavy armed surveillance all around the potential exits. And a massive
reward. One of the historian said a massive reward maybe 100 camels was set for each of them dead or alive, and they started to scour the entire region. They had infantry and horsemen trackers, people were known to be good at tracking.
And as a group of these individuals came to that area
eventually came to the area of the cave, where the profit and loss and I will record were hiding.
When he saw that the enemy had started to get closer and closer and closer in distance Abu Bakr whispered to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam imagine the scene. Just imagine you could watch this as it's happening in an unfolding and we're working on the Allahu Allah whispered to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. What if they were to look through this crack this crevice and detect us and see us? And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam calmly responded? Oh, a wicked. What do you think of to who's third is Allah? Yeah, and vektory Melbourne new COVID-19 Allahu thirtytwo Houma in the hadith of Buhari, so first Hadith by the way of that chapter, but the virtues of the companions,
I will record what do you think of two people, the third of whom is Allah meaning along with them. And in one report, and the surrounding Mohan reported that Abu Bakr said, I said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam while I was in the cave, if any of these men were to now look down, if any of these men were to just look near their feet, they would see us and the Prophet summarizing them said, Oh, what do you think of to who's third is a law, the third of whom is a law. Now there is interestingly here for those who are have heard this before.
There's a disputed Hadith, that when they reached the mountain, they were confounded that people were looking for them. And they climbed up this mountain, they passed by the cave, but they saw a spider web over the entrance of the cave. So they said if anyone had entered here, the spider would not have spun a web over the entrance. And so they did not look in the cave. This is a disputed Hadith, but perhaps it's a more popular story, and one that more people are familiar with, of course, and this is why sometimes when someone's about to kill a spider, the other person says, what the spider saved those who lost by Solomon I will work they will say
disputed Hadith and that's a very different spider Wasp partner knows best if these spiders are related, completely different topic, let's continue. In another Hadith some scholars classify as Hasson as acceptable.
And then Abu Bakar said, of the man who could basically see the opposite of the caveator sort of law, it's as though he's looking at us. He's looking at us and the prophets, Elijah, they've said, No, the angels are concealing us with their wings. And indeed, have a Hichilema to mention this. Indeed, it wasn't divine miracle, that those who are chasing in turn eventually await when they were only a few steps away from the key. Allah subhanaw taala wants to save you. If Allah wants to save you, from one wants to save, you know, amount of military or human beings can harm no amount of people doesn't matter if it's all humans on Earth doesn't matter how advanced they are. If Allah
subhanaw taala is protecting you, you have nothing to worry about. You have nothing to worry about. But this is the trust we need in Allah subhanaw taala.
And it's the trust that we have to hold on to even when things get difficult, and will work on the long run is the greatest of the companions, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
and even before Islam, he did not ever consume any intoxicants. He did not worship the idols. In fact, he found it to be very bizarre and it did not make sense to him. One time he knocked down an idol and asked if it would feed him and did it feed him he loved. He said, This doesn't make sense to me. I will work on the long run that was upon the filter on even before the way he started, he immediately accepted Islam. He didn't hesitate and that's why he's of Sunil, the one who confirmed the truth, immediately accepted that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is the Messenger of Allah, no doubt whatsoever. The Prophet salallahu alayhi salam said about him. If I were to take a hadith a
best friend and close confidant, I would have taken a little better but he's my brother in Islam and my companion, one time they came to the Prophet salallahu Salam and asked him Sahaba were eager to hear the answer. Who do you love the most was the most beloved person to you. What did he say?
was the most beloved person to you? What was the response? The Prophet salallahu Salam,
I shall the aloha aina and they said no amongst us, meaning we need amongst the men, who is the most beloved person to the Prophet sallallahu sallam said her father, I will bet probably a loved one. And of course by saying her father is a love to additionally Lohana even in that response of a veteran, the Aloha and refused to worship idols. Even in his youth, he was an honest judge, a wealthy merchant, loved by the people, and he influenced many people to embrace Islam. So we mentioned he wasn't the first to embrace Islam. Khadija Alana was the first he's the first male companion to embrace Islam. And think about this, think about the Salah Pujari that he has, because
Abu Bakr only loved one immediately went and started giving Dawa to others and amongst the people who embraced Islam, amongst the people converted to Islam through the efforts of Abu Bakr on the Allahu and you have Earth man been our fan, you have azubi We have Paul Ha, you have Abdul Rahman bin Salman everyone pass him Neil Jarrah, and many others as well. And five of the 10 of those who are given Glad Tidings in January embraced Islam, through overcoming a long run. He was of course the father in law to the Prophet salallahu Salam because his daughter Aisha, was married to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and above what was known for his immense generosity. In fact, look
at his humility here, one time Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and even if we're on Zoom, and we're online, anytime you hear the prophets name live or you read it, some alojado he was salam was talking about the eight gates of Jannah. So there are eight gates to paradise. And Abu Bakr in his humility said, If only I was there to see it happen with Where do you think that we'll get to is going to be when the Prophet SAW Selim is knocking on the gates of Jana? Where do we assume he's going to be prophets, Allah license said, I hope I wish that you are I'm optimistic that you are though amongst those who enter through all of the gates of Jannah, you can enter through any of the
eight gates of Jannah because we could ask about these eight gates of paradise, Abu Bakr, only Allah one was amongst those who, who bought Muslim slaves, seven of them to freedom. And this shows us and gives us and this is a much different topic here. But it gives us an idea of what it means in that time to see the institution of slavery that they had, which was different than the slavery that was common in, let's say, the Western world in the modern times. I've worked on the long run bought them to freedom, and amongst them was built around the long run the caller to prayer of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, therefore, because he freed many slaves, what was one of his nicknames?
What was one of the nicknames of Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah, and may Allah be pleased with him? I know I'm asking a lot of trivia questions here. I'm still in trivia. Trivia mode. Hamdulillah you guys can join us at 2:30am Eastern Standard Time In sha Allah for final competition beaten in one of his nicknames is Joseph McClendon it does that make sense? Sister Marian has 10 points for UK insha Allah no Gryffindor here we'll just say the UK will give you the country points inshallah. Abu Bakr on the long run participated in how many battles
In which the profit took place in the prophesies and took part in a number of battles. How many did a worker participate in? trivia questions? All of them
excellent 10 points Nigeria Florida, England mashallah England you already took over half the world in the past so you guys we take all your points back inshallah. All right, so Abu Bakr all the Aloha, sorry guys. We're currently alone and participated in all of the battles of the prophets Eliza and participated in think about this the battle of bedden when the first large scale engagement between the Muslims and the pagans of Mecca this took place in which month this took place in which month the Battle of bed the battle better took place in the month of Ramadan 70 of Ramadan. So think about this. I've been working on the Allah one guarding Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and he was entrusted with his safety. And he's reported that I'm the rock man, the son of a robot was with the disbelievers on the day of bedroom. He became a Muslim later on. So listen to this remarkable response from
his son who was still not Muslim at the time and was fighting the Muslims. He said to his father, after he became Muslim, after understanding a Muslim he said you were exposed to me on the day of better and I turned away from you I did not kill you. I will becquerel the Allahu Anhu said As for me if you were exposed to me, meaning if I had got ahold of you, I would not have turned away from you even to his own son. And in this situation, the Eman of Abu Bakr comes out, but his priority is Allah subhanaw taala His love is Allah subhanaw taala in the Battle of Beddit there were many famous incidents amongst them aboubaker Only Allah one providing support and telling the prophets lie Selim
Allah will assist you along will help you meaning ALLAH will aid His Messenger, the Prophet sallahu wa salam compared overthrow the Allah one. In one report Teresa, it said in terms of softness, fast forward, fast forward in the Battle of Abu Bakr on the low hand defending the Prophet salallahu Salam and he became irritated at the Companions who did not agree with the messengers to Lohani send them fast forward but no no leader Abu Bakr al the Allah one was sitting next to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam would you breathe Ali Salam gave him revelation brought down revelation about moving locations. Fast forward benomyl Sonic work Radi Allahu Anhu was involved in the necklace
issue or the situation that took place with actually Aloha. And when some verses were revealed about TM the Sahaba proclaim, this is not the first of your blessings all family of herbal but there were many areas of the Quran that came down confirming the opinions that a woman could had expressed or his family or Isha had expressed as well. Fast forward in the battle of 100 AbuBakr on the Aloha and played a massive role. In fact, there's of course the revelation of Surah to * i 22 Regarding of getting upset at his cousin for the slander of actually long run well yeah for one your spot Oh, let them pardon and forgive Allah to a Munna Young did Allah who do not wish for Allah to forgive you?
And Abu Bakr said, I do I wish for Allah to forgive me and He forgave his cousin and started paying him even more of an allowance. Look at the status of workers in terms of the purity of his heart.
You look at the incidence of today be an albatross in the long run played a really crucial role in why is the Prophet sallallahu Sallam on fighting only if attacked. And he also basically expressed a number of opinions that were important in that time for someone to express around the Prophet. So I sent him to the other companions transport conquest of Mecca. He was writing next to the messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam, and he recited back poetry to him. Look with the incident of Paul if the oldest son of Abu Bakr was wounded, and it led to overthrow the law one uttering a number of famous statements at the attacker who eventually accepted Islam, you'll have the incident of taboo
abercromby Aloha and competed with Omar is one of the most beautiful stories listen to this phenomenon called welding a loved one, the great mountain of a companion or Well, the Allahu unsend one time the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commanded us to give sort of a charity. And at that time, I had some property. So I said, today I will finally surpass, I will bet if there's any day that I were to surpass him, meaning it would be today, today alone to finally do something to excel beyond a workload, the law and look at this beautiful competition for the sake of loss of data for genuine. So he said, I therefore brought half of my wealth half of my property, Prophet
sallallahu Hyson asked him What did you leave for your family I responded the same amount meaning the other half and overthrown the Allahu and brought all that he had with him. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam asked him, What did you leave for your family? He responded, I left Allah and His messenger for them. And then I said, Omar said, I shall never compete with you in anything. support my son in Aveda. We don't want to only Allah Han was constantly trying to raise the bar. He was doing so much, no doubt. And yet I will work it is that far ahead, normally Aloha
What does that tell us about the status of America? Even Omar is saying you have exhausted us, or you've exhausted us. We cannot catch up to you. Brothers and sisters, let's look for companionship that inspires us to be better. Men exhausts us in doing acts of worship, not the companionship that will cause us to start cussing to start committing sins to start wasting time to start gossiping and slandering to start getting distracted from sloth No. Look for the companionship that will inspire you. Perhaps it won't inspire me to give all of your wealth and charity but it will inspire you to raise the bar for yourself. And don't just look for that companionship. Be that companion for other
people be that friend to other people, for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala
May Allah Subhana Allah grant us sincerely and healthy competition for his sake, racing alongside one another to the highest levels of Jana was Sadie or was Serbia who are phenolic affiliate and alpha cinematography soon race compete rush let the competitors compete. Las Panatela says so in other words, it's a command race with one another to the forgiveness a lot to paradise. It was also reported that the Companions used to say, listen to this they used to say during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the best of this after its prophet is a pullback, and then normal and then Earth man this is reported by Bukhari and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
approved of that he approved of that statement did not reject it. This was reported by Abdullah of intermodal, the Aloha Hoonah and during Hajj in the ninth year, Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Akbar was placed in charge indicating what he was placed in charge to lead the Muslims for Hajj. What does this indicate? This is a massive, massive responsibility. There's a clear sign that comes with this, that he would be the next to lead the Muslim ummah, that he wouldn't be the first of the whole ephah Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Han. It was reported one time a woman came to the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for a need. And he Salallahu Salam ordered her to come back later. He couldn't at
that time take care of the need. So he told her come back later. And then she asked a follow up question that was really interesting. She said, What if I don't find you? What if I don't find you later when I come in what should I do? Profit slice and said then go to Abu Bakr. When he sallallahu alayhi salam addressed people at the end of his life, he ordered the people to seal the branching doors to the masjid all of them except for the door of Abu Bakr on the Aloha, brothers and sisters.
As uplifting as much of this is about the virtues of Abu Bakr, there is a sad moment we need to address and it is the day that the Prophet sallallaahu Salam returned to his Lord
in year 11 After the Hijrah
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was fainting and sweating and he would give many advices and these are farewell advices
amongst them ASALA of Salah the prayer the prayer, take care of your prayer, take care of your prayer. It's the first thing of all ask it on the Day of Judgment. Are you ready for that question? Take care of your salon in terms of the time of your prayer, prayer and prayer prayer on time you have a gap between the beginning and the end time for each salon. Make sure you pray your prayers on time and you guard your prayer in terms of who should guard your prayer. Don't allow much of it to be taken away in terms of reward. Protect your Salah, protect your Salah Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam at the end of his life, received the final revelation. According to one opinion, this
revelation took place nine days or nine nights before the passing of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. Does anyone here want to tell us quickly trivia question what this ayah was the final revelation that was nine nights before the Prophet slicin passed away. Quick trivia question for anyone who wants to take a shot at it inshallah Tada warming us up for the trivia later tonight

that's a good yes
it's not correctly to get guests at your maximum to is also the guest that was the last ruling but not the last I saw rottenness was the last complete solar to be revealed on the last day.
Those are all great guests as mashallah
should we do spin the wheel for this?
Now either I or three was the last Helcom the last ruling so that's a really good guess. But it wasn't the last idea because it took place a while before prophesize and passed away. Yes, it is in salt and pepper is one iron SUTA dakara because they sort of look around and get the point for them because it's 286 versus 278 Some nice random guess Michelle? Yes. Is that McLaren Phil dosa in Dublin. 100 points to Ireland, Masha Allah, Masha Allah.
Allah subhanaw taala revealed to the messenger SallAllahu Sallam and think about the weight of this knowing today that this is the last idea to be revealed after 23 years of gradual revelation. What Takuya woman total regional una de la more
all sorts
of cool new left seeing cancer that's when you learn
and feared the day in which you will return to Allah. And then every soul will be given what it earned what it deserves. And no one will be wronged on that day, no injustice on that day. This is the last idea to be revealed. Think about the weight of that there's a lot to take from this Zach McLennan for sharing the references back long frequent. So the Prophet SAW Selim received this i He's He's sweating fainting Finally, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not able to lead that for the first time. One of the prayers he appoints someone to lead the prayer and of course, it is a moment of the loved one. This is another sign of what the leadership of a web
company loved one, he led the hajj for the Muslims for the Pilgrims leading the prayers now. People are being told when you have questions and the Prophet slicin is unavailable go to Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Han. Think of his status. The closest to rasool Allah sly, send them the greatest in faith in terms of the companions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
So it was reported that at the end of his life Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is getting sick, and he's fainting. And he's having a wealth of lead the prayer for the OMA.
And at this point in his life, the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam and I want us to really think about just this scenario here. Imagine you were there seeing this happen before your eyes.
That also the loss of Allah Hi Slim is no longer in a way present with the community leading the prayers and they started to miss him. They started to miss the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. There's a lot to say about it, but ultimately here also the last item is in the lap of Isha all day long one singular law, in that in Mattila saccharides there is no God but Allah verily, there are pains and pains to death. This is the messenger slice I'm experiencing a purification or raising of rights at the moment of death.
We know that he's forgiven, we know is in the highest levels of gender we know he has Edwardsiella the highest rank,
Prophet sallallahu Sallam then starts to say, Man Nabhi now wants to kneel clean our shahada, it was Saudi Hain Allama FedUni what how many will help me be revealed to Allah Allahu Allah viewpoint, Anna, with the prophets and the righteous and the truthful.
Oh Allah, forgive me and have mercy on me. And allow me to be with the exalted companionship Oh Allah, I ask you for the exalted companionship. What is this referring to? Previously before this, the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam mentioned and the Companions heard this and in fact, this was one of the reasons that Abu Bakr on the long run, started to cry. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned that there was a slave of Allah subhanaw taala Abdullah Yahuwah, a slave of Allah who is given the choice between the adornment of this life to stay here on Earth.
Woman anger, basically and what is with Allah subhanaw taala and he chose what is with the loss of panic attack. And I'm looking started to cry because you recognize this is referring to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so when the prophesy some said, will be no manga, tarot manga, he chose what is with Allah subhanaw taala will look at understood the Prophet site and they're going to pass away soon. In that last Ramadan before he passed away some ally Salam Gibreel Ali Salam who comes down every Ramadan to review the Quran with him, reviewed it with him twice, some Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and at the end of his life, he's fainting. This is on the day of Monday, alif Nene, and this
is the 12th of Robbie Owen, according to the majority of historians. And on that day, the Prophet sallahu wa Salam is saying these words and repeating them, and then finally lifting his finger in the flesh in the lap of action of the Lohana. And finally, as he sing these words of shahada, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam departs from this world and I shall only Lorna says, my tunnel Soon Allah Tada su law the messenger has died the messenger has died. It was the darkest day in Medina, the heaviest day for the companions the heaviest days and I want you to imagine especially those who were there from day one, I want you to imagine how I will mechana musta fell over to the Allahu and
what who was the first male companion to enter into Islam you can you imagine how he felt, no matter how the Companions felt knowing that they could always go to the profit slice and then we're now the messenger Allah has slotless Salam had departed, the way the revelation has ended. That final miracle from Allah subhanaw taala has come to a completion to a close now there's a responsibility on the OMA. It is a really, really heavy day.
And tomorrow, the long run the mountain Oh marauding aloha is in so much shock that he was telling others do not say it also.
or has passed away, refuse to accept the prophesies and passed away they were in shock. And Abu Bakr on the long run was actually at the another area of Medina because the day before the health of the proper size and had to improve the bit so it will make your left when he heard the news he came right back, went straight to what as he saw the people in panic talking and our model, the long run and the people were basically in this moment of denial, went straight to the room in which the prophet slicin had passed away. He uncovered the face of the prophets Eliza, he kissed his forehead, forehead, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Me My mother and father be sacrificed
for you. Soon Allah you have experienced that death that Allah decreed for you there is no death after this for you. There is no departure for you after this and I will record all the logline goes out to the people and now. Now in this crucial decisive moment in history. You see a robot crawling along the line in terms of his saliva. Abu Bakr Radi Allahu and told her not to sit down twice and I'm going to refuse. So I'm over currently, Allahu Anhu said to the people and he started to preach on the member to proceed or people, men Kana Yan Buddha, Mohammed and for inner Mohamed an old man's woman kinda Yabut Allahu Allah, how you lay and whoever amongst you used to worship Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the know that he has died.
And whoever used to worship Allah subhanaw taala the know that Allah is alive, and he never dies. And then he recited the idea. One more Hum I don't know so long for the holiday. I mean, probably heroes soon. Muhammad is boring messenger. And messengers before have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels to disbelief and whoever turns back on their heels will never harm Allah and Allah will reward the grateful and even abdulsalami along on who said by Allah. It was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this idea before until a little back and recited it in that moment, and the people received it from him. And I heard
everyone reciting it, meaning people were repeating it over and over, and almost all day long on who said my legs could not support me. And I fell down at the very moment of hearing Abu Bakr and reciting it, declaring that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had passed away. So it's as though finally it was understood. It says Oh, finally it was understood. This is in sorted Alia Imran verse 144. Imagine that moment that is so difficult on the Ummah, the prophet slice and I'm departing. Brothers and sisters, before we continue with the virtues of OPEC, I want to say one thing about this. Just one last note on this crucial and decisive statement of AOL.
The month of Ramadan is almost over and it is going to depart. The month of Ramadan is going to leave. How happy with the messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam be for you? How much would he smile and be grateful and appreciative for you if you were to continue worshiping and walk consistently long after Ramadan departs, so whoever amongst us started to worship and Ramadan and became more religious than them along became more practicing in Milan, and avoided issues and problems in Milan, know that Ramadan will pass we'll leave your bidding farewell to it, we have final moments with Ramadan and whoever amongst us, worships Allah subhanaw taala know that our last pattern is ever
living and he never leaves Allah subhanaw taala is the Lord of all months, not just the lord of Ramadan. So let's turn to Him consistently throughout the year. Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah had so much Iman and so much wisdom in that difficult time. And faith is tested in different times. Faith is tested in different ways. That was no doubt a very heavy test for the Companions, the departure of the messengers from the Lohani center. But Allah subhanaw taala, in his wisdom had already revealed the verse that they needed the verse that they had recited so many times, and yet they were shocked when finally the messenger symbolizes to them departed from this one. It's as though they
