Yeah Are you Halina ama No, all you who have believed with guru, all of you remember, not one of you should forget. Remember, near Mata Allah He, the blessing of Allah, our les come on you

00:00:20--> 00:00:31

remember the blessing of Allah, on comb comb is plural on all of you. What was the blessing of Allah on you that you must not forget that you must recall

00:00:32--> 00:01:08

it when the blessing that came to you at the time when John come, it came to you, what came to you Junoon armies, armies came to you. Why, in order to finish you? And what happened? For a total sell, now I lay him, so we sent against them against to the armies that had come, that had besieged you, We sent against them, the hand, one wind,

00:01:09--> 00:02:03

what do you know then, and we also sent against them Junu then armies, they came as armies, and We sent against them armies, that lum Toro, ha, you did not see it, meaning you did not see those armies that we sent against your enemy. Who are these the angels, the troops of the angels? What can Allah Who and Allah is ever be mad Dharma Luna with whatever that you do Brasil, he is seeing Allah subhanaw taala is reminding the believers over here of a very difficult time that they faced in their lives. And in particular, this is referring to the Battle of a Zab after which the surah is mentioned. And this battle is also known as the Battle of Hanoi duck. Two names are given to this

00:02:03--> 00:02:51

battle. Firstly, zap zap is a plural of his his a group of people in army. All right. So his app, it wasn't just one group, it was many groups that came to fight the Muslims in previous confrontations. It was only one group mainly And who was it? It was mainly the people of Makkah that would come to fight against the Muslims. Now, it wasn't just one group. It was actually multiple groups. They had come together, forming an alliance of 10,000 strong men imagine they came to fight the Muslims. This is why the battle is called a zap. The battle is also known as the Battle of conduct conduct means trench. All right. Why is it called the Battle of the Trench? Because in order to defend themselves,

00:02:52--> 00:03:18

the Muslims could only dig a trench on the one side of Medina that was exposed. All right, because Medina, beautiful city, it had natural protection at the time of the Prophet saw the loss of natural protection from at least three sides. All right, how that on two sides, there was volcanic rock that's basically very hard to walk on. Very hard to go through. All right, especially for an army

00:03:19--> 00:04:03

and on a third site, de pomme orchards. I mean, technically an army could enter from there also. However, you have to go through you know, from between trees, it's cumbersome. So Medina had basically only one side that was exposed. And when the Prophet saw a lot of southern learned about 10,000 people coming towards Medina, one group after another, to fight against the Muslims, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam asked, he consulted the companion ce o labile. Mood meaning I mean enforcing he consulted them, what do you suggest? The Muslims were all in all 2500 people that could actually participate in battle. So 2500 versus 10,000 not going to work. So now what was to be done?

00:04:04--> 00:04:49

Sir man Oh, Pharisees, although aren't who remember he was from Persia. He suggested that a trench be dug. And that is the suggestion that was most liked and welcomed by the Muslims. And so the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he instructed the Muslims to dig a trench on that one side. And because of that trench that was dug to defend the city of Medina. The battle is known as a battle of 100. All right, now, the Battle of hunt duck, when was it fought? Or when did it happen in the fifth year after Hijra. All right. And before this time, there had been numerous battles, to name two major ones, the Battle of Badr end. Right. And basically the Michigan had tried very hard to fight against

00:04:49--> 00:04:59

the Muslims but they hadn't gotten anywhere. The Battle of whether was a pathetic defeat for them or hurt was kind of like revenge but they weren't really happy because they couldn't kill the profits.

00:05:00--> 00:05:06

otherwise and um they couldn't kill Abu Bakr they couldn't kill Amara below or and who right all the main main people were still fine.

00:05:07--> 00:05:24

So the Mushrikeen of Makkah they had had enough, alright, and they really wanted to do something in order to finish the Muslims once and for all but they couldn't do it alone. So what happened? Some people they approach them was shaking Who are these people? They were the bunu elite. All right.

00:05:26--> 00:05:47

Do you remember, in the Sierra we learn about a group of approximately 70 Sahaba on the Prophet sallallahu Sallam sent to a particular tribe in order to teach them the Quran. And what happened to those 70 Sahaba that were betrayed right there were killed. One of the survivors what happened? He managed to escape and he fled towards Medina.

00:05:48--> 00:06:28

On his way he found two people and he said enemy kill. He did that. All right, you can imagine this was an overreaction because of extreme fear and betrayal that he had just experienced. So when he got to Medina, and he told the prophet Sallallahu Sallam about the whole story, the Prophet sallallahu sunnah was firstly very grieved, very saddened, because of the loss of so many companions the betrayal that the Muslims had just faced. And secondly, the Prophet sallallahu sallam was upset with the Sahaba Why did you kill two innocent men? And the Prophet sallallahu Sundram went to the banana leaves, right the Jewish tribe that lived in Medina because according to the Constitution of

00:06:28--> 00:07:03

Medina, what was to be done? If blood money had to be given, everybody would pitch in. So balloon Alene were approached to put their share in the blood money. What did the balloon Alia, do this to the prophets of Allah awesome? Yes, of course, for sure. Have a seat, make yourself comfortable. We'll discuss amongst ourselves and we'll get back to you. And when they want to discuss amongst themselves they decided to actually throw down a huge boulder on the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and kill him and they attempted to kill him. The prophets on the Lausanne was informed he left and what happened. The balloon elite they were besieged Long story short, they were told, you must leave

00:07:03--> 00:07:39

Medina because you have violated the treaty. You're not reliable anymore. If you can attempt to kill Mohamed Salah Saddam, how can we trust you? Right? We made an agreement to live in peace, to live in harmony, to live with our differences, but you don't respect us so you know what you can leave Subhanallah Lita agreed, they left and they were allowed to take everything they wanted with them. So they took out their door frames, their window frames, even the wooden panels that they had the beams that they had on their ceiling. They took everything apart, and they took it with them and the subtle in the land of fiber. But the balloon elite were angry because they had left behind acres and

00:07:39--> 00:08:24

acres of fertile land. You see man is greedy, right? Even if you get a whole lot you want more. So no, they were not happy. They want to take revenge. So of course they knew that that was thick enough maca. They have been so far unsuccessful in battling with the Muslims. So they sent word to the people of Makkah. They said how about both of us together, form an alliance and attack the Muslims and finish them all? The Mushrikeen of maca. They were happy. But in addition, the banana leaves they actually offered them a big reward also from the produce of their lands of hybrid. All right. So the McCanns it was a win situation for them. You understand? Firstly, they wouldn't be

00:08:24--> 00:08:40

fighting alone. Secondly, they're getting the aid from the balloon elite. Right? Financially, they were the ones who were going to, you know, finance the army, the battle. So McCanns were completely ready for 1000 men from the people of Makkah, who are ready to fight

00:08:41--> 00:09:12

vulnerably weren't happy there. They said 4000 is not good enough. 2500 Muslims, they can easily defeat 4000 and people don't Maka, so far, they haven't had much success in fighting the Muslims. So we want people who are really aggressive and violent when it comes to battle. So they approached the people of ill health often. All right, a lot of fan who lived in the north of Arabia, and a lot of fan. They were basically the largest tribe up north and they were known as the most barbaric and the most uncivilized, merciless, alright, the most greedy.

00:09:13--> 00:09:34

So they approached them, they said, Why don't you participate in this battle with us? Now what a fan we're not easily convinced they needed something in return. So the balloon I believe they said, We'll give you half of the produce of labor for one year. All right, and that meant a lot of money, a lot of food, a lot of food supplies.

00:09:36--> 00:10:00

And this was enough to convince the Gotha fan to come on board. But you know, the other fan were so clever. All right. They sent word to the Prophet sallallahu and they said, you know, buddy and elite have given us this offer. You give us half of Medina. And we're not going to fight with them. Look at them. So they sent this message to the prophets of Allah and the Prophet saw the lesson got the whole story what's going on? All right. Of course the Prophet SAW

00:10:00--> 00:10:22

Lausanne refused to give them half of Medina All right. And what happened a lot of fan in their greed for wealth, they jumped on the bandwagon and 6000 of them 6000 of the lotto fan 4000 of machens, financed by who? The balloon elite of Hiva.

00:10:23--> 00:10:31

They started coming towards Medina. And this was in the fifth year after Hijra in the month of Shawwal.

00:10:33--> 00:11:05

Now what happened, they started gathering at a pre selected place near Medina. And when the Prophet salallahu Salam learned about as I mentioned earlier, the Sahaba were were consulted, and a trench was to be dug, this trench was going to be about one mile long, several feet deep and also wide enough so that no one could even think of jumping over it. And the Muslims had very few days to have the trench ready before the Junoon would actually arrive. So within less than 10 days,

00:11:06--> 00:11:33

within less than 10 days, the trench was ready. What happened when the Mushrikeen they came couple Soufiane. He went back and forth, you know, by the trench, looking for where it ends and where it begins so that he could take his army somehow inside of Medina. But he was completely confused. He said till Komaki that on May 24. This is a trick that the Arabs don't know about meaning this is foreign.

00:11:34--> 00:11:44

This is foreign. Where did this come from? What happened? This at camp, the Mushrikeen the set camp they said you know what, eventually the Muslims are going to have to give up.

00:11:45--> 00:12:34

So they said we will beseech Medina we will lay siege to Medina. There is no traders going in and out Medina will run out of supplies. And the people in Medina they will become weak. And eventually there will be those who will leave the Prophet sallallahu sunnah and eventually we'll find our way in one day turned into two days, three days, one week turned into two weeks, three weeks, about 20 days minimum. The siege was there. But you know what? The armies the exam, they didn't come prepared for a siege. They came for a battle. There were 10,000 people imagine feeding 10,000 people every day. I think feeding 10 people is a big deal. 10,000 people daily feeding them breakfast, lunch,

00:12:34--> 00:12:40

dinner, and keeping them organized and keeping them motivated. And there are people like auto fan.

00:12:41--> 00:12:48

All right. Try to imagine children, rowdy kids, can you try to keep them somewhere for 20 days?

00:12:49--> 00:13:08

It's impossible, right? So the siege went on for about a month. And during this time, the Mushrikeen they made many attempts to cross the trench, but it wasn't possible. Why? Because the Muslims were guarding the trench day and night. So much so that even prayers were missed. You know that.

00:13:09--> 00:13:46

The Prophet SAW Eliza from another low iron who he came to the Prophet sallallahu said I'm cursing the Zabi saying, you know, I couldn't pray my salah. I couldn't, because he was constantly on guard. And then they prayed also and then Maghrib right after the time a Muslim had entered the prophets of Allah Islam had the Muslim army thinly distributed along the trench, right. So the machine basically had no idea how many Muslims were there on the other side anyway, and anytime somebody attempted to cross the trench he would be fought. So the machine they lost about 10 people and the Muslims lost only six during this whole period.

00:13:47--> 00:14:11

What happened you can imagine as the siege continued the machine they had, you know, their morale went down. The weather was extremely cold. Allah subhanaw taala says over here, yet or you are living at Avenue, or you have believed with guru Nirmal Allah here Eleiko. You know, this was a very, very difficult time for the Muslims.

00:14:13--> 00:14:22

They were overcome by fear, as we will see in the following verses, so afraid that it was as if their hearts would jump out of their mouths literally.

00:14:23--> 00:14:43

They were so afraid. There were the enemies outside the trench. Then there were the bun who could Ayla and other Jewish tribe that lived in Medina that were not reliable, given what their cousins had done in the past, and then they were the hypocrites from inside constantly making noise and creating confusion.

00:14:44--> 00:14:59

And just imagine 10,000 People 10,000 People and it's the hot of and financed by the banana lead. There was no match over here. This was a very difficult time. What does Allah say? With guru narrow mouth

00:15:00--> 00:15:02

Allah here on a comb.

00:15:03--> 00:15:05

Remember the blessing?

00:15:06--> 00:15:14

Remember the blessing you know why? Because in every storm, there is always something that you can still appreciate.

00:15:16--> 00:15:59

There is always something that will bring you benefit. So remember the good things. Remember Allah has favor on you when it Jarrett Kunju Don't you know the support of June and June the is from Jean noon dal Jana, that is to collect to assemble. All right to prepare an army. So it's used for a body of troops or soldiers. So it's just come Junu them not just one, John, but many Judith came. And how did we chase them away? For our Salah Ali, whom Rehan. We sent upon them one wind, because you see during that CD, the machine, they didn't have one leader.

00:16:00--> 00:16:31

All right. This is the funny part. They didn't have one leader 10,000 people, but each group had their own leader. The Arabs were too arrogant to have just one leader. And this is why they have this whole tribal system. They were too arrogant, quite literally to have only one leader, every tribe, every family, every ethnicity said, our leader, our leader, so they were divided nation like this. So anyway, I will Sophia was someone who had the most authority because he had 4000 people under him. All right.

00:16:33--> 00:17:09

So you can imagine if there's groups of people, and there's a constant competition for, you know, leadership and authority, there is no unity, you know, their morale was going down constantly. And secondly, there was a man, he actually left the mushrik army, and he came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, when he said, I accept Islam, he accepted Islam. And he accepted Islam and secret. And so the prophets Allah was and I'm ordered him that you go do something, anything to get them to go away. So he went to the Mushrikeen. And he, you know, spoke to them and he went to the hotel finally spoke to them, and he went to the bundle, Pura Vida, the Jews who are still in Medina, and he spoke

00:17:09--> 00:17:57

to them. And he basically created misunderstandings and, you know, animosity between them so there was no trust at all. Each was now concerned for himself. And then, finally, one wind came. It was so fear so cold, so violent, that literally their pots were overturned, their tents were blown away. And Abu Sufian he got up and he said, You know what, forget it, I'm going, I will Soufiane left. And when I was have yarn left, who do you think would stay behind? Nobody? For al Solna I lay him Rehan and We sent against them What do you know, then and armies which armies of angels that you did not see, but they were there guarding you? They were there guarding you? You know, actually the last

00:17:57--> 00:17:58

night the machine were there.

00:18:00--> 00:18:14

The Prophet sallallahu Sallam he asked the Muslims, this is in the middle of the night. Who amongst you will go fast the trench amongst them are seeking and see what they're up to get news basically go and spy find out what's going on.

00:18:16--> 00:18:17

You know who volunteered?

00:18:18--> 00:18:44

Nobody. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam asked again. Nobody volunteered. He asked again, because it was basically signing up for death. Right? The prophets of Allah Centauri who they follow the law learn who get up and go and who they follow the Longhorn who he said that when he was going there, there was a violent wind, severe cold.

00:18:45--> 00:18:59

But he said on my way there, I felt warm, as if I were walking in a heated bath until I reached them. I felt so warm as if I was walking in uh huh, ma'am. Have you ever been to a sauna?

00:19:01--> 00:19:05

Yeah, so that's what it felt like to him as if he had been surrounded with heat.

00:19:06--> 00:19:32

And he said, I got there, and he witnessed Abu Sufian getting up and leaving. And then he came back and he told the prophet Sallallahu Sallam about it and he said, I was like that, you know, in that warmth and heat until I reached when I told the prophets Allah was on about it. I felt cold again. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam gave me a blanket of his and he said sleep, so I wrapped myself in it and I slept until the Prophet sallallahu Sallam woke me up and he said wake up or heavy sleeper

00:19:34--> 00:19:57

so Genova in London Oh Ha, you didn't see it. You didn't see those angels but they were there. At Allah's order. They were there guarding you, keeping you warm when you needed that warmth? What can Allah who be meta maluna bossy rah. And you know what, in all of this, Allah was watching what you were doing.

00:19:58--> 00:20:00

This was a storm that

00:20:00--> 00:20:05

Allah allowed to come to you to see what you would do

00:20:07--> 00:20:55

you see when the armies when they came it seemed impossible to win against them and just like that when a heavy storm approaches and you're trapped in the middle of it seconds feel like days and years in a recently in the storms that have come in in the states this one woman she said the whole tornado everything happened within 30 seconds, but it was the longest 30 seconds of my life. Because when you're in the middle of the storm, it feels as though it's never going to be over. But it will pass just like it passed for the Sahaba for the Muslims in Medina. And how did it pass? How did that 10,000 strong army how was it uprooted? One wind? What can Allah who be mathema Luna basura so this

00:20:55--> 00:21:02

was all intentional? To test you to see you to see what you would do.

00:21:03--> 00:21:49

If when remember, is jell o calm remember when they came to you who came to you? The enemy these geonode They came to you men foci come from above you, woman and from us fellow men come as well. Seen fella lower. What does it mean by this? Some landed from the sky and some emerged from the earth. No, this is referring to direction okay? Meaning some of these are hazards they came from the north and some from the south. Who came from above you from the North? It was the hotter fan. Remember I told you they were tribal lived in the north? And how many of them came 6000 women as fun I mean come who came from the south Mkhize to the south of Medina, who came from the south? The

00:21:49--> 00:21:51

people of Makkah and how many worthy 4000.

00:21:53--> 00:21:59

So basically from all directions which side could the Muslims run to? Right? And then when they kept they kept together?

00:22:00--> 00:22:23

What if and when? Szell Szell. It shifted xhale ze ye ln xhale is to deviate. Right to go from one side to the other? What is it that shifted? A bizarro the eyes plural of the word buffer, meaning your eyes could not rest.

00:22:25--> 00:22:28

When is it that your eyes cannot rest?

00:22:29--> 00:22:48

When you're frightened when you can't even sleep? Right xalatan ups are constantly looking here and they're looking at the enemy. They could not rest literally with Zagato will absorb. They were not able to look at anything except the enemy approaching in great numbers from all sides.

00:22:50--> 00:23:06

What Bella what and it reached a Kulu the hearts the hearts reached what Al Hannah did the throats of Hannah Judas the plural of Han Jarrah and hand gyro is the middle of the throat, the job of the throat, you know, the hollow of the throat.

00:23:07--> 00:23:17

Okay, the hollow of the throat basically the place from where you breathe. That's the handler. So the hearts were reaching up to the throats? What does it mean by this?

00:23:19--> 00:23:25

That if it wasn't that your throat is tight, your heart would have come out. It would have jumped out

00:23:26--> 00:23:30

when you felt afraid to the point of being sick.

00:23:31--> 00:24:08

You felt as though you know when your heart is beating in fear and it's beating really fast. What happens it's as though you feel like it's gonna come out. You feel so sick. Literally you feel sick, you feel nauseous? What Bella till Kulu? Will Hannah Jade, what are the Nona and you were thinking? Billahi about Allah. Allah una Aluna various thoughts alone on is a plural of the word of one. What does one mean and assumption? So you were thinking about Allah, not just one thought but many thoughts.

00:24:10--> 00:24:17

Meaning each person had a different lesson about Allah, depending on his level of faith.

00:24:18--> 00:24:21

You see, sometimes there's only one incident

00:24:22--> 00:24:30

that is affecting, let's say three people. But each person reacts differently thinks differently. Why based on what?

00:24:32--> 00:24:59

Based on their faith or based on their beliefs, right? Based on their attitude, each person has a different opinion. And isn't amazing one event in the world one incident in the world, and there's 1000 different opinions, isn't it? So what a little known Abdullah his Winona, you were thinking about Allah, various thoughts. The fear was real. Allah subhanaw taala describes the fear that the Muslims experienced

00:25:00--> 00:25:10

Allah acknowledges it. He knows about it. You see, there are things that happen in our lives that we don't have control over.

00:25:11--> 00:25:27

Right? Certain events, certain incidents, we don't have control over them. It's completely in Allah's control. He makes it happen. Like, for example, a storm comes, there's a violent when there's rain, forget about rain, there's, you know, ice whatever.

00:25:28--> 00:25:56

Do we have control over the clouds? Can we adjust the thermostat of the atmosphere? Can we, we can't, it's beyond our control. But what is in our control is our reaction to it. And that is what Allah subhanaw taala will hold us accountable for how we react to situations that are not in our control, that is what we will be questioned about.

00:25:57--> 00:26:23

So every person has different thoughts, different ideas, different opinions, and each person must be careful about what he thinks about Allah at a time like this about other believers at a time like this. Because that is what matters. At the end of the day, the storm is irrelevant, because it came it fast. But what matters is our reaction in it,

00:26:24--> 00:26:34

isn't it? Because that is what will last that is what is recorded in the Book of deeds. So what are known as Billahi Luna.

00:26:36--> 00:26:49

You see, a believer always thinks positively about Allah subhanaw taala. No matter what the situation is always hopeful. Because one of the names of Allah subhanaw taala is alpha,

00:26:51--> 00:26:53

the opener, the one who opens

00:26:54--> 00:27:01

and for that is from fat. All right, in fact, one of the meanings is to open something that was closed.

00:27:02--> 00:27:33

And Fatah on the structure of file means one who opens excessively, again and again, meaning any wall that appears, Allah subhanaw taala can always make a door through it, he can always make an exit through it for you, because he is who Alpha no wall is too difficult for him. You see, when 10,000 was seeking came wasn't that like a wall for the Muslims? Didn't Allah subhanaw taala create a way out of this difficult situation he did because Allah is Al Fatah.

00:27:35--> 00:28:10

So believer, even in the most difficult situation, he will always always think positively about Allah subhanaw taala. And this is something that we have to hold on to even if we have to hold on to it with all our might with the last bit of strength that we have. We have to cling to this belief that my Rob will always always bring good, my Rob will not abandon me. My Rob will create is my rod will bring claim from this event that appears to be evil.

00:28:11--> 00:28:39

This is our belief. So what Aluna Billa Hizzoner, people can have different thoughts and ideas about God at such times of turmoil. Some say where is God? Some say, Why is God doing this? But the believer says I trust my God, I trust Allah. If he put me in this, it's good for me. This was necessary for me, because you see next level success cannot come without next level challenges.

00:28:40--> 00:29:06

Right? If you want to have the best score on the, you know, the highest level of let's say, Angry Birds, I mean you you have to have that skill, that strength that determination, don't you more than what you required at the first level, isn't it? You need more determination, more strength more resolve to deal with greater challenges so that you can achieve greater success.

00:29:07--> 00:29:09

So a believer trusts his Lord.

00:29:10--> 00:30:00

What's also known as a biller, his guna people can have whatever thoughts they want about Allah, but I will only think positively about my Rob. Allah says Hoonah Holika Holika Holika means right there and then in that Alec at that time, Oba Tullia. He was tested, he was tried, who was tested a lot me noon, the believers were tested was Zulu, Zulu, and they were shaken xylon a shaking, that was shoddy. That was severe. This was no ordinary trial. Allah is saying this. The Battle of zap was no ordinary trial. And you know what, this is not something that was limited to for Sahaba in

00:30:00--> 00:30:10

Medina, in our lives also there will be times when we are tested with a severe trial. It's as if we have been shaken. You see Zulus from Zelda Allah, what does Allah mean?

00:30:12--> 00:30:12

Earthquake?

00:30:14--> 00:30:32

It's like when the ground beneath you is not stable anymore. Nothing is stable. And the results are completely unpredictable, most probably devastating results, right? Because when there's an earthquake, you don't know what might happen. But what do you expect the worst?

00:30:34--> 00:30:47

Because that is possible. So was ulusal, zaal and Shadie. The, the Muslims, the believers were put to great test, great worry, great fear, great anxiety.

00:30:48--> 00:31:22

And you see, it was as if everybody had gathered, you know, had joined forces against the Muslims. And sometimes this happens with us in our lives. Also, it's as if nobody's taking our sight. Everybody's turned against us. You know, in a small family situation, also, you look towards your parents maybe. And they say, sorry, you can't do anything here. Your brother can't do anything. Your sister can't do anything. Your children, your parents, your spouse, whoever. It says if nobody's willing to support you, you're left on your own.

00:31:24--> 00:31:42

You're left on your own was Uzziel zahlen Shalida. You see, at the time of the Battle of hundreds of the Muslims, they asked the Prophet salallahu Salam, they said, our hearts are reaching up to the throats. We're feeling way too much anxiety. It's as if we're having panic attacks.

00:31:43--> 00:31:56

And they're real. They are very real panic attacks are very real. The most stable, the most confident people also at times of great trial. What happens to them? Haven't you seen big men sweating?

00:31:57--> 00:32:12

Because they're afraid? It happens? This is normal. So the Sahaba asked the Prophet sallallahu Sallam What should we do? And he said Say Allah Who mustard are Latina. What mid roll Latina

00:32:13--> 00:32:43

Allahu mosteiro Latina Oh Allah, cover our weak points what our mid row Artina and calm our fears. We have deficiencies. We are imperfect. And somebody who's out to get you all they need is a hint of your imperfection and blow it out of proportion and destroy you. Right? So Allah mustard are Latina. Oh Allah conceal our deficiencies. And M and lo Latina calm our fears.

00:32:45--> 00:32:59

So the Sahaba said this thorough. This is what brought them sukoon and peace in this long long test. Hoon elica to legal mock me known was ulusal Zeland shut either.

00:33:00--> 00:33:18

And this trial, it got even more difficult. How? With the bonobo ALA, the Jewish tribe that lived in Medina turning against the Muslims. Because you see, all the Muslim men were were they? They were by the trench. All right. And they couldn't leave the trench.

00:33:19--> 00:33:41

Though the women children old weak who could not participate who could not be at the trench? Where were they? They couldn't be left in their homes. Why? Because there was always this fear of bonobo data turning against them. Right. So what happened that they were assigned to certain fortresses? All right, and that is where they stayed until the siege was over.

00:33:42--> 00:34:16

Now the bonobo ALA, the Jewish tribe, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had actually renewed the covenant with them had taken pledges from them just recently. And they were not willing to initially they were not willing to turn against the Muslims. But the banana leaves, they were very clever. They didn't leave been to Korea, it is said that the leader of unknown elite when he showed up at the house of one of the leaders of binocular ALA, as he opened the door, he shut it he said don't even come to me don't even talk to me. You're gonna tell me to turn against the Muslims. And I don't want to do that. Because I've always found Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam to be true to his word to his

00:34:16--> 00:34:57

promise. And I don't want to be the one to break the trust, right to destroy this good relationship that I have with the Muslims. But the leader of the balloon elite, he insisted insisted insisted until the leader of the bundle called ALA. He agreed. He agreed to turn against the Muslims. The prophets of Allah Islam sensed that fear and yet some idea that this might happen. So he sent some companions to go and find out. Okay, so I'll go below on who he went to find out. And basically, the bonobo ala de pelted him with stones and they basically said, Go away from here. And that was a clear sign that these people are turning against the Muslims. And when the prophets analyzing them

00:34:57--> 00:34:59

heard about this, he said Allahu Akbar.

00:35:01--> 00:35:19

Allahu Akbar. Just imagine if you are in a difficult situation and you just find out that the difficulty has increased for you. You had one ally, and now you find out even that Ally has left you, what would you do? bury my head in the sand somewhere? Can I run away? Can I hide?

00:35:21--> 00:35:31

Right? This is what we would do. And the prophets of Allah awesome. Look at how positive he is. He says Allahu Akbar, because bigger challenges, what do they mean?

00:35:32--> 00:35:39

Bigger achievement. greater difficulty means in sha Allah, greater success, because who is our Lord?

00:35:41--> 00:35:54

Allah, who is the best planner, Allah who can bring the day out of the night, Allah who can bring the living out of the dead, Allah, who can completely change the situation? Allah can. So Allahu Akbar,

00:35:55--> 00:36:23

Allah is the Greatest. This was the hope that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had. Now what happened? The situation got very difficult for the Muslims 10,000 people outside binocular ALA, turning against the Muslims, and you know who was really in danger. It was the children, the women, the old that were in the fortress. Here, we learned about this one particular companion, who was actually a port, and he didn't have the courage to even hold a sword.

00:36:24--> 00:36:36

And that's fine. Everybody's different. He had a sharp tongue. Very eloquent. All right. But he just couldn't hold a sword. It just scared him.

00:36:37--> 00:36:38

He just couldn't do it.

00:36:39--> 00:36:42

So it has said that he was also with

00:36:43--> 00:36:58

the women, the children, the old, the weak, the injured, he was also with them in the fortress. And so what happened that one night, one of the women she sensed that somebody was outside trying to get inside the fortress, and she told us to how we get up and do something.

00:37:00--> 00:37:41

Here, man, get up and do something, go and check. And he said, You know that I can't do this. Even at that time, he said, You know, I can't do this. It's just not within my capacity. So she took a big shawl and she covered herself up like a man and she got a dagger and she went and checked and there was a person from the bonobo de la who was trying to get into the fortress in order to attack the Muslims in order to open the door so that the Muslim women children, everybody is vulnerable, everybody's attacked and she basically attacked him and threw him down. And when the rest of his group when they saw his body they said oh, there's great warriors inside let's run from here. And it

00:37:41--> 00:37:42

was a woman who did that.

00:37:43--> 00:37:58

So it was very difficult for the Muslims you can imagine the fear the overall fear the insecurity that the Muslims were experiencing and the most difficult thing was the constant talking the noise of the hypocrites so much print our dimensions that no recitation of these
