			said to her wakulla modesetting visa wakulla be that in Bala wakulla palazzina restructure brothers
and sisters in Islam today we we have with us a very very beautiful and important topic. And that is
the history of Angelus and we will inshallah be talking about in two parts. The first lecture
inshallah will be on the rise of under this, and the second one will be about the fall of under
this. Now people say when muslimeen talk about underload they are crying over spilt milk. But we're
lucky we don't want to cry over spilt milk. Rather, we want to discuss the loss we want to discuss,
discuss the history of unfairness in an intellectual manner, we want to discuss it trying to find
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:34
			out what went wrong, trying to find out how we took it over and what went wrong and how we lost the
greatest city that the world has ever seen on the face of this earth. How did you lose 700 Library's
Islamic books? How did we lose a mosque in which 12,000 circles were given at a single time? 12,000
euros was given at a single time? How could we ever have lost this? How can we lose pastures of
green How can we lose Jannat you know,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:49
			gardens which are called you're not because of its vastness, through which rivers flow through which
they build artificial. waterfalls parallel such as it was a graduate of Spain How could we have lost
the greatest city that this world has ever seen?
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:31
			Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the coastal city of Casa La lomita for Kuru, so relate to them the
stories perhaps that they may think about it, relate to them the stories the past the things that
have gone past perhaps, that we may draw some conclusions from some lesson from that. Also Allah
subhanaw taala says in Ghana the processing in Ableton loaded Alba very early in their in their
stories is a message for you. Is a message for you or people understand to think about, think about
how Allah Subhana Allah Suna is always, always coming to think of how it was added comes into effect
for those who deserve it. And think about how Allah Subhana Allah has great great, great blessing
		
00:03:31 --> 00:04:08
			comes into effect for those who deserve it as well. From the benefits of learning about history,
brothers and sisters, Islam without doubt is first of all, understanding the sin of Allah subhanaw
taala and that is to understand how Allah Subhana Allah works. What causes Allah to get angry, what
causes Allah retinas? mercy? What brings about Allah Subhana Allah is rough and what causes Allah
Subhana Allah has great pleasure. What is it that Muslim men have always done in their life and in
the history that has caused the downfall of the Muslim man? And what is it that the Muslims have
done? What little is it that the Muslims have done that have been the reason for their great good,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:21
			great glory? And truly in the history of Spain? We have a perfect example. Why? Because the history
of Spain brothers brothers and sisters in Islam and of course it is. It is a shala What is that?
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			Okay, obviously not not, not from Spain, is it? Okay?
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			Truly in it is a matter which is
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:59
			a very pitiful matter. It is a thing of great pity that Muslim men have forgotten the history of
Spain. And if you think about it, the history of Spain is two thirds of the Muslim history is two
thirds Muslim history. 805 years of Muslim history. How can overlook the history of Spain 805 years
of Muslim civilization 805 years of teaching the world then
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:48
			They now use this to attack us 805 years to advance every single branch of science. So panela
nowadays we find in a western world leading us in certain fields will lay the Muslim in, in their
time. They used to lead them used to lead the European every single branch of science that you can
think of, until even the kings and queens of Europe used to vie with one another to learn Arabic
until they used to open their suffers you know their suffers their dinners, and give thanks to their
God in Arabic and they used to open their the dinners we could put the ledger with one bottle Hajji
This is the glory of Islam, that had had reached the hearts of the people until the Jews until the
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:28
			Zionist the Jews of that time, also not Arabic, and they actually advanced Judaism through Arabic
and the greatest of the books of the Jews are written in Arabic as well. And until the Jews
themselves is to say that the Arabic is the best and the most richest language in the world, and how
the tables have turned nowadays when you go to Saudi Arabia when you go to the streets of Jeddah
people think of it as a great pride that they know how to speak English and they try and speak a
little bit of English to you thinking that Mashallah, wow I know our Western language and they are
so happy whereas knowing Arabic wasn't wasn't was a thing of pride amongst the kings and queens of
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			euros.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:07:16
			My brothers and sisters in Islam, I'm sure you agree that 805 years is a tremendous time in which to
realize all the sudden of Allah subhanaw taala Verily, when you read the history of Spain, and and
the history of Muslims in Spain, you find that all of the sudden of Allah Subhana Allah, and all of
the suit of Allah, in all his in all its types, and all its effects are found in Spain. So we find
in Spain, the stories of great heroes and we find in store in Spain, the story of great cowards. We
find in Spain, the story of great kings that we find in Spain story of great beggars, we find in
Spain, the history of great and righteous and pious people. And we find in Spain, the stories of
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:55
			those people who were overtaken by the fitna women, and all they wrote, were copious amounts of
books and books about fantasies about women, how they and they, and this is how we find Allah, the
pious, and we find that not so pious. And so in Spain, we find a complete history, a complete book
for all of us to go through, and it is a pity that today, we muslimeen don't read history, we don't
learn from the past, because brothers and sisters in Islam, I'm sure you agree, when you read about
history, it is as if you are looking into the future. It is as if you're looking to the future,
because that which has come in the past, will happen again. You know, the past repeats itself, as
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:41
			the people say, and so when we read about Spain will lie It is as if we are reading about our day to
day events. It is as if we are really about our day to day events. Do you know that the massacre
that happened in Bosnia about 10 years ago, but was that 12 years ago now, or more than that, about
12 years ago, there was an example of that of something similar happened in the same area of sorrow,
Sarajevo in the same place, the same massacre happened in the time of the Muslim rule in Spain,
where in 70,000 Muslims were killed 40,000 women raped handler were we to read history will lie we
could save ourselves from falling into the same traps. But unfortunately muslimeen have forgotten
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:56
			the history. We all say Mashallah, we are great and we are truly great. And Muslims were truly
great. However, however, we forget the specific examples of how great we truly were, and read about
history so that you know, unfortunately, we end up falling into it. That's why we find people not
even
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:35
			you know, when I ask people do you know about the backlog bucket? Do you know what the Battle of the
leader? No, no, people look at me with a blank face because they don't know the history of of Spain
we when asked them about the you know, the story of started with Zia destroying the ship ships,
people look at me with a blank face, when I asked them as well. Do you know about outdoorsman
adapted about which the scholars of Islam have said the word not to be after Allah for this man,
then Spain would have been wiped out. Islam in Europe would have been wiped out for a long, long
time, you know, a long time ago before its time, which is in the in the year 897. After hegira. Do
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:59
			you know about Adorama, NASA who the historians, all of these stories, orientalist, the Muslim
historians all of them all agree that he was the greatest ruler of this earth at that time, the
greatest ruler of this earth at that time and his city was the greatest of cities when talking about
kotoba. It was the greatest of the cities in all of the world at that time, nothing on this earth
could ever be
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			match that city and that King in his in his great.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:15
			What about use of English mean? As as you may have said he is one of the most righteous and pious
Mujahideen of Spain? And what about Abu Bakar? Even Mr. Allen, Tony?
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:59
			Tony, Willa is Allah He was an amazing day in 15 countries in Africa. He brought Islam to 50 of the
country's brothers who are Muslims from, from Africa, all the Islam to this man. I will work in the
Mohammed Al and Tony Allen tonight we have forgotten this great majority. And this great price Imam.
Also what about abuse of jacoba Mansoor Al murrini, one of the greatest scholars of this religion,
one of Savannah will be going through abuse of jacobina in one suit, and Marines life today
inshallah, in the second session, and we'll be mentioning how this man, singly single handedly was
responsible for fending off the Christian onslaught for 200 years for 200 years, this man was
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:34
			responsible and the actions that he did, was responsible for saving Spain for 200 years, and how
this man single handedly saved the truth of Islam, the literature of Islam, the history, the
heritage of Islam, by fighting the Christians for only one reason, what was his reason, in order to
give back the Muslim books that they had with them? This is the reason why some of them so that they
could give back what the books of Muslim mean that they had taken the books of the scholars that
they had stolen, when they were attacking the Muslim lands. Also, what about what when we talk
about, for example, Mr. Kotoba, which was the largest mosque ever, at that time, the grandison
		
00:11:34 --> 00:12:16
			largest mosque with 12,000 circles that time, each circle having an alum, 12,000 alum with every
circle, and every circle, and every every Island had students with him. Suhana imagine that imagine
12,000 circles at a given time will lie in this mosque of ours, we only have one lesson. And if we
have two lessons at the same time, people will get angry. What is that man doing? What are they? Why
are they giving lessons. But those people they were so busy, so busy gaining knowledge, knowing that
knowledge is power, knowing that knowledge is power, they're so busy gaining knowledge in all
different fields. 12,000 different circles of knowledge. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. And in, in and
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:28
			in kotoba by itself. 700 libraries 700 libraries go to any Muslim land. Now, how many libraries are
there Public Library only. These are public libraries. You could borrow books there.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:40
			And this is this is hand alone. You could borrow books. This is Muslim invention. Europe never knew
about these things. They weren't a public library at that time.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:04
			700 public public libraries, how did that happen? How are Muslims so forward thinking that they had
700 public libraries in one city? Once it is perhaps even more than London? I don't know. Perhaps
even more than London. But each library had more than more than a million titles. More than a
million titles. Imagine that. Imagine how there was so much into gaining knowledge so much into
getting knowledge.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:42
			The question brothers and sisters in Islam needs to be asked, Why was there a need to open up
underneath? Why did the Muslim men open up endless What was the need for that? Well, once when the
Muslims were attacking parts of the Roman Empire in Sham, where as the gentleman was asked by the
Roman leader at that time, the Roman general the same question, why have you come to attack us? Why
don't you just go and attack Ethiopia? Which is easier upon you? Why don't you go and attack
Ethiopia? Why do you come and attack us? We are the Romans we are strongest. We're one of the
strongest nations on this earth. Why do you Arabs you feel the Arabs coming from the desert with
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:54
			disheveled hair and blood sores and everything? Why do you come and attack us? and more as Jabba
forgives oma said Allah subhanaw taala tells us and we'll call it Latina Luna, Camille Cofer
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:37
			Allah, special premises and five bores who are next to you amongst the disbelievers. Meaning that
meaning that the way the conquest of Islam or the Tao of Islam should happen is that that will
should be proposed or Jihad should be proposed to the neighboring cities before any anyone else. So
because you are neighboring to us, so we start with you didn't care. You're the greatest city on
Earth. We don't care. No, we have absolutely no care in the world. You are the strongest but
stronger. You have a great army but the armies of Allah greater Subhana Allah we don't care. Allah
says what are we started you know, we start off with it with your neighbors. So we started with you.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:15:00
			And this is the same reason why the Muslims started off with under this because at that time, the
Muslims had reached all the way up until Muslim so they are taken all of North Africa, which was
Egypt, and then Algeria and Tunisia and what else is there and Morocco and so they had pushed all
the way up until the end of Morocco onto the edge of the of the ocean until it has even been
reported.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			Musa Musa have no say, who was the leader, at that time from the Caribbean, who was Mujahid, at the
time who opened up all these lands, He even went up to the, to the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean
at that on that edge to the Atlantic Ocean with his horse halfway, you know, until his horse was was
was almost submerged. And he said, Well, if it was not for this ocean I would have taken was if it
was not for this ocean and my house drowning, I would have taken Islam to the ends of this earth. I
would have taken Islam to the ends of the earth. Most of them said his father was abusive, and his
father and even Sudhi and and NCD
		
00:15:40 --> 00:16:24
			his father and sitting with two children who are growing up in the monasteries of, of the Christians
when Khalid bin Walid opened up here. So in here they found that there was a city in which there was
a monastery, Christian monastery, and in them with two children, learning the Torah and learning the
Old and New Testaments, and these were looser and serene. So holiday, he told them to accept Islam
and they accepted Islam. So from said, came Mohammed the son, Mohammed Hussein, and from Syrian came
also Mohammed Mohammed bin sileni, as everyone knows, where Mohammed city who was one of the tabea
in at that time, so Mohammed city, he went to Kufa and he stayed there his life. Whereas mustafina
		
00:16:24 --> 00:17:02
			said he raised up he was raised up with Walid who was the halifa, who was the son of the halifa at
that time, so when this when the Khalifa died while he became the halifa of that of the Muslim and
at the time, of obviously, there was a homemade Empire. empire that time he became the Khalifa and
Walid made his best friend, Musa his general, his first gen. And so Musa was sent to North Africa in
order to quell the Berbers. out there that time, Moosa took seven years to conquer North Africa.
Whereas Of course, before that, North Africa had already been been conquered. However, the people
will always rebellious, and they would go back, they would, they would, they would make a pact with
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:37
			Muslim aid. And then they would go back so Muslim who said he followed the following way to follow
the following following methodology, he will take up land slowly, slowly, and as soon as he takes up
a city or a land, he will bring scholars to tabulate and put them there. So the people will learn
about religion and the love the love the religion until the people themselves would be the army that
would go on and fight the next lands. And in this way, he conquered North Africa in seven years, in
seven years. And so the Berbers who are known to be ferocious fighters, at that time, became from
the enemies of Islam to the helpers of Islam, the Berbers were not as people think that they were
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:54
			dark skinned and black hair and all that. No, they were, they were white skinned blond hair, blue
eyes, there were blonde hair, blonde hair, white skin and blue eyes. This was how the Berbers were.
And they became the great army which will which will soon conquer andalas.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:35
			So Musa started to think in the year in the years before the conquest of under the so that is before
the year 992, after Angela, Before that, he started to think where where does he want to go? If he
went to go if you go south, and that is Sahara Desert, and there is no benefit in that? Because
they're not in? They're not they're not after land? What are they after they after sukham? They
after the people they want to teach the people about Islam. Right. And so most of them said, he
decided to go up. And of course, AP is only is only under this at that time, brothers and sisters
Islam, before I go into why, why and how most of them say attacked under laws and how you open up
		
00:18:35 --> 00:19:13
			under this, I wanted to mention something very important that is the misunderstanding of people
about jihad. And you see, first of all jihad is not as people say peace and harmony and sincerity
and this and that. It's just all about peace. Now jihad is of two types, there is a Jihad of a
defect, which is the the defense of jihad, which which every logical person on this earth, every
person of logic would already agree that there is there is the Jihad to defy which is defending
ourselves in US logical when when someone tries to fight you fight him back. When someone wants to
fight, you defend yourself and this is logical, isn't it? And this is the Digi head of the FDA.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:53
			Whereas at that time, it was Jihad at DEF CON, which is actually jihad, the Tao as they call it,
which means that the people would try and go to different lands in order to preach Islam to the to
the people and spread Islam However, because the kings are that in those lands knew that if people
became Muslim in that they would lose their power so they will always haughty and proud and they
would always fight the Muslim in and so the Muslims got together their armies and they would always
seek new lands in order to actually spread Islam in the same way in this way, but you had to abide
by it you had to fill out by asking for the for the for the war to happen by by by them trying to
		
00:19:53 --> 00:20:00
			spread Islam, Islam spread to most of them for example, that is parts of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:38
			In Syria, they will all open up not by good manners by the sisters in Islam, they will open up by
the sword. And you have most of Africa, 50 nations, all of the nations of Africa, all of the nations
that were ever opened up, will open up with the sword and then Eastern Europe, they will open up
with the sword and also apart parts of western Europe wherever the Muslim world such as Greece, such
as Malta, such as Cyprus, yes, they were they used to be Muslim lands at one time, at one time for
centuries, Islam rule de Greece, Malta, Yugoslavia, Cyprus, these were all Muslim lands. And
apparently, Islam was was a predominant religion at that time, they were all open up with the sword.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:21:15
			So sometimes we talk about Malaysia and Indonesia and how they will open up because of good manners
of the two jar. However, this is not the case. As far as most of the Muslim lands were concerned,
Muslim Muslim lands were conquered were conquered with jihad. And as you know, the modernists these
days, those who try to apologize for Islam on behalf of Islam, they try and make apologies. They say
no Islam has Islam was not spread by the sword. Islam was spread by a smile. But the truth is no, it
was also sprayed with a sword by them going to them saying either you accept Islam, or you pay the
jizya. Or you fight either one of these three, and this is how Islam was spread. Okay.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			We come to
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:56
			Andalus. And what was the state of underdose? Before the Muslim he took it over and will lie in
every single one of these things that we take is a lesson for us. The state of andalas was that the
Romans became very weak in Rome, because obviously they were being attacked with the Muslims and
they had internal problems, internal struggles, and Romans became weak wherever they had, they had
the forces and so the Romans in Europe, and had were losing their grip upon Spain, at that time, a
tribe by the name of vandals, they came in from the north and they took over Spain under and under
loss at that time. So this is where the word under this comes from, basically from the word vandals.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:09
			Right? And because they call their land when the lucea and you see, they were true to the word you
see, the word vandals comes from them comes from this tribe as well. What does vandal mean in
English? What does it mean?
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			vandal man is a vandalism what's a vandal?
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:53
			Yeah, he damages apologies. he's a he's a wretched human being any any is a? What is it? He's
animalistic, etc, in his behavior. And this is how this tribe war. And that's what they were called
vandals. And that's why the description of the word English word vandals comes from the perfect
description of this tribe. This is how they were they were inhuman in their treatment. They were
animalistic in their behavior, and they would pillage and they would conquer and they would * and
they would cut up women. And this is how they were until at that time, the Christian army came from
the north, by the by the leadership of Roderick. And these were the visit visits of the Christians
		
00:22:53 --> 00:23:33
			that took over. And most of that time, which is when the news at that time, they took over Angelus
evangelists and so they were the army. They were the dominant power at the time when the Muslims
attempt and musasa become a producer, the NASA said, who was the Imam in Muslim and Muslim Of
course, at that time constant consisted of everything of North Africa, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, and,
and and Morocco, as all of this was Muslim in the Muslim empire that time so Muslim said who was a
leader, and the halifa and the and the representative of the Khalifa at that time, so he decided to
think how am I going to pass the Strait of Gibraltar? How am I going to pass the Straits of
		
00:23:33 --> 00:24:15
			Gibraltar which is approximately 13 miles miles distance. So basically, from the highest tip of
Africa, which is scepter, until the bottom tip of Spain, which is mount which is, which is the mount
of Gibraltar is about 13 miles, how is he going to cross this? And then he thought, obviously, the
way he's going to cross it is by building ships. So he started to, to build ships, and he started to
ask his people, and he set up small harbors in order to build ships. However, it was a difficult
task. It was a very, very difficult task, because the land at that time was very, very rocky, I was
not possible to find good places to harbor but because most of them who said was such a righteous
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:56
			man, and Allah subhanaw taala, helps his slaves. You see Allah, Allah says, in terms of lion Sudoku,
if you help Allah, Allah will help you so because Muslim said was a helper of Allah Subhana Allah so
Allah helped him, how did Allah help him? Well, in the year 91, after hegira in the year 91, this is
the year before analysis to be conquered in the year 91. After hegira. Julian was the leader of
scepter and scepter was was the harbor city, which is the closest thing to Spain at that at that
time. Okay, the harbor city, which is on the top of Africa that time, Julian he sent his his
daughters Julian obviously he was Christian. He sent his daughter to to Roderick was the king of
		
00:24:56 --> 00:25:00
			Spain at that time in order to study with him in order to
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:34
			study with the monks at that time over the However, because she was a very pretty woman, Roderick
you couldn't keep her keep her hands off her and he raped her. What do you do? He raped her. So
Julian got very angry. And he knew that Roderick had to be taught a lesson. But he couldn't do it
himself because all he all he had was a small city. So he sent an emissary to Musa Musa and said, Oh
Moosa, I will give you the ships because obviously he was a hovering city. So he had all the ships
that the Muslims needed. I will give you all the ships, and I will give you some armor, and I'll
give you x y, Zed, everything that he needed. And only thing i want was some lands. He just wanted
		
00:25:34 --> 00:26:13
			some hands when under this was concrete. And who's gonna say he fell down prostrating to Alaska.
This was the victory he was asking for. He was this was a victory he was asking for, because the
Muslim armies could not accept it because of his location. They were not able to take over scepter.
So scepter was the only link to really attacking underload and see how Allah subhanaw taala just
gave it to him as a gift. And all this man wanted was some lands and the Muslims were easy, happy to
give him lands. It was Atlanta they wanted it was to spread Islam, that is what they wanted. And so
in the year 91 Walid was the halifa of the Muslims at that time, he told most of them say to not
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:53
			attack in one go, however, to send an invoice off to Spain to just check out to see how the
territory of Spain is. And so an environment and they and they checked out Spain and came back. And
for most of them, they said, what was the territory and how the trains were with that most of them
said he formed the army of the Muslim men, and his army consisted of the general by the name of
Tarik musea, the great hero of Islam by the name we thought it means Yeah, that means Ziad was
blond. He was white. He had blue eyes imagine this like for example, Abdullah and green being the
general for example, everyone knows that green, right blonde, white and he doesn't have blue eyes,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:27:32
			but then let's say blue eyes. And this is how I thought it was the other was the Great General of
Islam. And he was a Berber and he made his army from the Berbers and he got on the ships, and he
went off to Spain. And and he landed there. Over there. He took over some of the cities, some of the
harbouring cities, and he took over the cities when he took over these cities. These cities sent an
emissary, a messenger to King Roderick, who was living in the middle of Spain, and who was rooting
for Spain and lived in the middle of Spain and he sent an emissary to King Roderick and said at this
emissaries candlelighters report in the books of history that this emissary came to came to King
		
00:27:32 --> 00:28:12
			Roderick and said, Oh gogrid King are being attacked with for via people from the sky. And the king
said, What What do you mean? We are being attacked with the people from the sky? And the king would
understand to explain yourself, man, what do you mean? And they said will lie. At night they pray
like priests, and in the morning they fight like lions, so they can't be human. They are people from
the sky and will lie This is how the Muslims work. At night, they will be besieging Allah for
victory, praying to Allah, even though the whole morning. They were fighting like lions fighting for
the morning until the Knights huddle. This is how the Muslim or this is how they were able to open
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:41
			up the world. This is how we are now so proud nowadays and says Allah, look how great the Muslims
were. It was because of this, a Bachelor of this this worship of the slave of Allah subhanaw taala
the slaves of Allah who used to be preset night whereas they were monks at night whereas they were
part of the fighters warriors in the morning. How can the kuffar ever How will the disbelievers ever
succeed? How can they ever succeed against this army 7000 numbers so they gathered on the plains
		
00:28:42 --> 00:29:26
			in order to fight against the forces that King Roderick had amassed. And they heard the Muslims
talismans. He had heard that the Muslims that King Roderick had amassed a huge army, a huge army, he
didn't know how much so he just sent and sent a messenger back to musashino said in Madrid and said
almost all we need some help. So Moosa sent 5000 soldiers, and that's all he could have at that
time. So he said how much 5000 soldiers so the number of Muslim army was at that time how much
12,000 12,000 and with that, thought it was your approach the battlefield. Third, approach the
battlefield, King Roderick he was very, very haughty and proud. He was a man who knew who thought
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:53
			that Allah had guaranteed who thought that victory was a guaranteed was guaranteed. So he came with
his great throne the people the peasants, and the slaves will carry his great throne that was
studied in jewels, and then they had the most richest full of gold, a throne made of gold suddenly
with with precious gems. This is how King Roderick came. And he as historians also noted that he
bought a lot of a lot of donkeys with him. And when asked what did you bring on the donkeys? He
said, because when we conquered the Muslims, I'm going to take the
		
00:29:54 --> 00:30:00
			tie the slaves to my donkeys and make them roam across my my territory is to show
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:09
			them how we are so great and how we defeated the Muslims and how petty they are. And that's why he
actually bought so many donkeys hundreds of hundreds of donkeys in order to,
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:48
			to try and fight the muslimeen as per the law, because of his kibble Allah was to give him the
lesson of his life, allow us to give him the lesson of his life. So Tarik luzia. It has been
reported in certain books that when he saw 90,000, or 100,000 Christians in front of him 100,000
Christians in front of him, what did he do? He told his people to burn the ships. He said to eat all
these people to burn the ships. Why? So that people know that there is no way out there is either
Victory or death. This either victory of death. The Muslim historians did not report this event. The
Muslim historians don't report this event it is only the orientalist report this event so we don't
		
00:30:48 --> 00:31:15
			know truly what it is whether it is a true event or not. And there are some doubts about his
authenticity. But whatever whatever the reason that it was yeah didn't turn back and the Muslims
never turned back and they pressed on and they were at the battlefield about to start one of the
greatest was that was ever to be recorded in history that was ever to be recorded history. My
question to you before I go on to the battle is this question but is Islam which party Do you feel
sorry for?
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:23
			Which one do you feel sorry for Do you feel sorry for the Muslims? Were 12,000 number or do you feel
sorry for the 100,000
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			why, by the way, why is so illogical white?
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:32
			Surely
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			the righteous so
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			you know, I mean, because I know history
		
00:31:40 --> 00:32:21
			Mashallah, say you should have read the history so I could have tested you a little bit. But anyway,
hamdulillah truly brothers and sisters, now we don't feel sorry for the Muslims. Why should we feel
sorry for them even though they are lesson number, they have armies from the heavens coming down to
aid them. Whereas these people they have nothing except their own swords will lie. The Muslims have
a Rabbani, an Imam, a fighter and a Mujahid Anna and a pious man leading the Vatican Ziad whereas
the disbelievers have a hottie king who will lash the people if they do not if they do not fight and
who will after the after the battle take all the all the winnings to fall himself. And he has
		
00:32:23 --> 00:33:02
			put four taxes upon the people in order to fund the war. This is how the king was and they are being
led by this king. How can they ever be equal? For Nigel Muslim in ecology the mean? Shall we ever
make the Muslim in the Muslim mean? Like the majority mean like those who are evildoers? Malcolm
Tifa Come on. What is wrong with you that you do not understand? How do you judge? How do you judge
so how can we ever feel pity for the other one? We're lucky we have 12,000 people here who as Khalid
bin Walid Rahim Allah had said to be comin, you have boon and moto karma to have been hired, as
Khalid said about the about the Muslim warriors is that I have come to you the people who love to
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			die like you love to live.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:41
			Whereas those people they love to live, and they hate to die, the 100,000 they love to live and they
hate to die. And the only reason that they bought them there was because the nobles did it, they
didn't bring them would lash their backs and take their wealth away and * their women it did not
come and fight. This was the only reason they were coming to the battle. So how do you think? how
can how can how can the two armies ever be equal, they cannot be equal. That is why Muslim men were
in a better place. Better situation, even though they were 12,000 number. And so the battle started
six days it lasted. And on the sixth day the Muslims won. On the sixth day, the Muslims, one
		
00:33:41 --> 00:34:24
			Roderick died, most of the Christians were were killed. Most of the Christians in that battle were
killed. The sons of Roderick were killed. Roderick himself fled or he died and found the Muslims
only a few in number died, only a few in number died and Muslim in had the whole of undress open to
them. Because now the king had fallen. There was nothing left on their way. And so city after city,
city after city, that means he had pressed on until he took over all of Spain. And later on he
Proust pushed on into parts of Europe as well. In this way Muslims had taken over all of the city
and the people what was more interesting was that the people did not rebel. The people who are there
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:34
			that in those cities, the Christians and the Jews did not rebel, because they found the Muslims more
trustworthy, they found the Muslims true to their word whereas these Christian
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:39
			kings were not true to the word they will always break the treaties.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:59
			There will always be the treaty so why would they ever go here some Muslims, they would actually
prefer the Muslims to be their leader rather than the non Muslims. And now I read to you certain
things which the historians of of the of the disbelievers have written. I will mention to you what
the Muslim historians have written but just listen to what the the story is.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:11
			of the disbelievers are written about the greatness of Angelo's and how the victory of Solomon's
yard paved the way for a new chapter in civilization. We have Stan Lee lane pool, which is,
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:52
			which is the author of the book, The Moses in Spain. He writes in his introduction for nearly eight
centuries under the under the Mohammedan rule, Spain set all Europe a shining example of a civilized
and enlightened state. Her fertile provinces rendered doubly prolific by the industrial engineering
skill of the Congress, and it bore fruit 100 fold. Cities innumerable sprang up in the rich valleys
in the Gwadar Veer, and the guadiana, whose names and names only commemorate the vanished glories of
the past to Cordoba belong all the beauty of Toba basically, and that's called double, to call them
a belong all the beauty and ornaments that delight the eye or dazzle the site. Her long line of
		
00:35:52 --> 00:36:25
			Sultan's form her crown of glory, her necklace is strong from the pearls, which haploids have
gathered from the ocean of language. Her dress is the banners of learning well knit together by her
men of science and the masters of every art and industry, of the hymn of garments, art, literature
and science prospered and they then prospered nowhere else in Europe, mathematics, astronomy,
botany, history, philosophy, and jurisprudence were to be mustered in Spain, and Spain alone,
whatever makes the kingdom great and prosperous, whatever tends to refinement and civilization was
found in Muslim Spain.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:37:05
			And we find SP Scott in the history of the Moorish Empire and European rights. Yet they were
knowledge and learning everywhere except in Catholic Europe, at the time when even kings could not
write or read. A Moorish King, a Moorish basically the Muslim King, Moorish King had a private
library of 600,000 books. At a time when 99% of the Christian people were wholly illiterate. The
Murray city of Cordoba had 800 public schools, and there was not a village within the limits of the
Empire where the blessings of education could not be enjoyed by the children of the most indigent
peasant, and it was difficult to encounter even a Moorish peasant who could not read or write.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:48
			Unbelievable, isn't it? And they say that we are against education. They say we are against teaching
women's Pamela Thompson in his Muslims, Andalusia, he writes, Europe was darkened at sunset Cordova
shall be shown with public lamps. So when Europe was back in one at sunset Cordova shown with public
lamps, they actually have public lamps, unbelievable. Europe was dirty, whereas Cordova built 1000
baths, Cordova changes undergarments daily people and in Europe lay in the mud. Cordova streets were
paved. Europe's palaces had smoke holes in the ceiling corridor was Arabic were exquisite. Europe's
nobility could not sign its name quota was children went to school. Europe's monks could not read
		
00:37:48 --> 00:38:06
			the baptismal service. It's unbelievable honor when you read about it, and the greatness of Spain,
and it had left everyone behind everyone behind so far ahead, is unbelievable. And chordomas
teachers create a Library of Alexandria and dimensions. And these are just brothers and sisters. Now
these are just panela.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:38
			glimpses at the greatness of Spain, glimpses of the greatest of Spain. Well, life is parallel, like
if you were to go to Alhambra. And these are the palaces of Spain and you were to go to the, to the
vast gardens that that still try to preserve, you are amazed at the beauty of their creation. You
are amazed at how their architecture was so great, you're amazed at how in every single branch of
science, they had pioneering books, which even to now they are, they are preserved as as evidences
of human achievements. Pamela,
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:41
			Long Island
		
00:38:42 --> 00:39:12
			law knows best. However, when Spain was taken from us, it was truly a loss to humanity. When Spain
was taken, and the Muslims were were thrown out of Spain. Truly, it was not just a loss to Islam,
but it was a loss to humanity and Muslims and humanity itself lost one of his greatest assets and
these were the Muslims and this is what the world has lost as lost by the downfall of Muslims they
have lost a lot of honor they have lost knowledge they have lost
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:55
			greatness in every single field they have lost masters in every single field they have lost a lot of
respect as we will take inshallah, in the next lesson you will see how the world has truly fallen
apart after the coming of off of the Christians into spirit How Will he win the Christians when the
Christians threw out Muslims in large numbers and they pillage Muslims and the 800,000 women and
they and they killed millions of Muslim in how when they actually did that and they actually
banished millions of Muslims away from Spain. While law he victory was not for anyone except for the
Muslims and and and and defeat was for no one except except the Christians. Because truly when the
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:59
			Muslims left Spain, Spain cease to be the leader of the world, Spain
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:42
			to be leaders of the world, Allah Allah knows best until the next session. Brothers and sisters in
Islam I will start off our talk on the fall of Angeles by quoting to you what many of the historians
and how they have described how pitiful was a state of Andalus. How pitiful was the state of the
world when until this fall. And I'll quote to you what this man stan Lillian Poole, he writes in the
Moors in Spain, and he is actually a very non biased a writer. And so if you want to go back to his
book, this is actually quite a fine non biased book and that is Stan Stanley. Lane pulls the the
Moors in Spain, he writes with Granada fell all Spain's greatness for a brief while, indeed, the
		
00:40:42 --> 00:41:28
			reflection of the moral splendor cast a borrowed light upon the history of the land, which it which
it had once warmed with its sunny radiance, the great effort of Isabella Charles the fifth and
Phillip the second of Columbus, Cortez and Pizarro shed a last Halo about the dying monuments of a
mighty state. When followed the the abomination of the solution, the rule of Inquisition, and the
blackness of darkness in which Spain has been plunged ever since. In the land where science was one
Supreme, the Spanish doctors became noted for nothing but the ignorance and incap in capacity, the
arts of Toledo and El Maria faced into faded into insignificance. The land deprived of skills
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:54
			skillful irrigation of the most grew impoverished and neglected, the richest and the most fertile
valleys languished, and were deserted, and most of the popular cities which had failed every
district in Andalusia, fell into ruinous decay and beggars, fares and bandits to the place of
scholars, merchants and knights. So low fell Spain when she had driven away the moods, such as the
melancholy of the contrast offered by her history. And also,
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:37
			Prescott writes as well in his film, the two of spade he writes, The Arab suddenly appeared in Spain
like a star which crosses through the air with its lights, and spreads his flame on the horizon and
then vanishes rapidly into not. They appeared in Spain to fill her suddenly with the activity and
the fruit of their genius and endowed her with a glorious glamour, which, which envelopes her from
the pyramids to Gibraltar and from the oceans to the Barcelona, but abani but a burning love for
liberty and independence, a fickle character, dispose of liberty and marionettes, neglect of all
virtues, and unfortunate disposition or revolution, provoked always by an inflamed imagination,
		
00:42:37 --> 00:43:18
			violent passions and ambitions or spirit to dominate and other factors of decay worth in the course
of time to demolish this great edifice raised by men like Tarik Abdullah hermana, Nasser, Mohammed
in Alabama, and led the Arabs to internal dissension with SAP their power and push them away to the
emphasis of not millions of moves quitted Spain carrying the property and arts, the patrimony of
Spain of a state, what have the Spaniards created in their place, we could say nothing but an
eternal sorrow feels this land, in which the gay is nature's breath before indeed there are some
ruined one humans would still look like these gloomy districts. But our real cry results from the
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:26
			depths of these monuments and ruins, honor and glory to the conquered more, and decay and misery to
the victorious Spaniard.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:28
			as well.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:44:15
			A common Mr. Cameron he writes in the Spanish Inquisition, as a result of his Cardinal ximines
course of endeavors. It is reported that on the 18th of December 1499, about 3000 moles were
baptized by him, and a leading mosque in Grenada was converted into a church converts were
encouraged to surrender the Islamic books, several 1000 of which were destroyed by Zambians in a
public bonfire. A few rare books or medicine were kept aside for the University, University of el
calor. xenons, claimed the moose had forfeited all their rights under the terms of of Granada. They
should therefore be given the choice between baptism and expulsion, at Andrex, the principal mosque
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:43
			in which the women and children had taken refuge was blown up with gunpowder. All books in Arabic,
especially the Quran were collected to be burned. Cardinal zims was reported during his conversion
campaign amongst the Granada moves in 1500. To have burned in the public square of your ombre over
over 1,005,000 volumes, including unique works of Moorish culture. These are books with the scholars
have written over centuries being burned in front of our eyes, and this is how Spangler
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:59
			Spain had had had been destroyed after the coming of the Christians, brothers and sisters in Islam.
What was the reason for the downfall of Spain? What was the reason for the downfall of Spain. The
reason for the downfall of
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:41
			Islam in Spain was, of course for a number of reasons, the first of which was that in the people,
there was true lack of Eman. People had become fascinated with beauty with this worldly life and
they were into luxury in a way that you just cannot even describe. They were into luxury more than
we are into luxury Subhanallah their way into big palaces, they were the leaders of the world. And
so they had this pride in their heart, and they were into luxury like you cannot describe. They used
to write poems about how beautiful the Spaniard woman were at that time, about about red, red hair
and green eyes. And this is what Phil that there are books, then fantasizing about beautiful women.
		
00:45:41 --> 00:46:24
			And this is another sign of how they were so taken away from from, from the women of this world,
taken away from the women of the hereafter to the women of this world on truly the level of a man in
the hearts had truly declined. No more was was a prayer, a means of of peace attaining peace,
rather, rather the prayer was a burden upon them. It was a cultural practice that they were doing.
Normal was gaining Islamic knowledge, a obligation rather it was a it was what the philosophers
would at that time in the Angelus would call a waste of time, a waste of time because True, true
knowledge was the knowledge of philosophy that the philosophers were were philosophizing at that
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:24
			time.
		
00:46:25 --> 00:47:04
			Also, of course, but instead Islamic was truly the fact that there was a lot of cowards in that in
Angeles. Many of the kings are under this were true cowards. They were just cowardice and there is
no other word that you can use to describe them. There was there were in the face of danger, they
would leave in the face of danger. They would give up the Empire in the face of danger they would
just make pacts with the with the Christians. And the Christians were completely treacherous in the
way that they would look after their their packs and so people were cowards were true cowards on top
of their brothers in Islam, people were traitors as well to Muslims, Muslim would help a disbeliever
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:48
			over his Muslim brother, something which the Altima is not a complete consensus, that it is
complete, colorful, to help your muscle to work to help a disbeliever over a Muslim over a Muslim
and to take over the lands and to * the women and for and to help the disbelievers to take Muslim
women as as their as their concubines and slaves. It's unbelievable. You know, this is all what
happened in in in Spain. It is truly a tragic, tragic history of a journey into a very, very tragic
history. How these traitors these Muslim rulers, at that time was such traitors of Muslims, that
they will actually help Christians, the Crusaders who they knew were traitors to their packs, who
		
00:47:48 --> 00:48:29
			they would knew knew they knew would automatically break their break their packs all why because
they just couldn't be bothered trying to divide the business couldn't be bothered, they will rather
let the disbelievers fight their brothers and help them with with whatever they required. And
because there was so much into the into the dunya, as we will come to this panel, one of the
greatest one of the most treacherous rulers of Spain was Admiral Admiral and and let us take the
history of Spain from 250 years before its fall. And we'll see how all of these things that I've
mentioned to you are described in the history of Spain, I will I will start off with with 643 after
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:35
			hijra, that is approximately 255 years before the fall of Spain.
		
00:48:36 --> 00:49:20
			In in Spain, we have different rulers at that time 643 after Spain has been broken up into different
rulers, the Muslims are being ruled by different rulers. Ghana has a ruler and and and Seville has a
ruler and so every major city in in over there at that time has different rules. Why because they
just couldn't be together they couldn't keep the the rules at that time had too much love for power.
And so they broke so they broke up. So we have this man by the name of it will ignore this is just a
lack of this is just a title that was put for him his father was not alive, but he himself had very
red skin. And that's what they used to call him. A black man, the son of the red man, and he himself
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:37
			was a red was reddish in color and he was the ruler of Ghana in the year 643. After he drew this man
he made a pact with Fernandez the third who was a ruler of of city at that time, excuse me, city at
that time.
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:54
			And he made a pact with him upon four things. The ruler of city at that time, Fernandez the third he
made a pact with Bill Maher upon four things. The first thing was that he would pay jizya to the
Christian
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:59
			that the Muslim would pages here to to the Christian
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:37
			The second thing he said was that he would not fight him ever since he had those forbidden against
the Christians. Right? Imagine this will lie This is how we will be applying them to our current
situation as well. Aren't we paying jizya to the disbelievers now? Yes or no guys? We are but of
course we call it something else we call it, what do you call it, call it debt, we call it servicing
the debt, we call it as Pamela helping them with the with the cost of the battles, they fought on
our on our behalf in US federal law, but this is easier, isn't it? At least those Muslims in
Andalusia, they were at least, you know, honest enough to to own up the day actually paying the
		
00:50:37 --> 00:51:17
			jizya to the Christians. Okay. So jizya they would pay and so jihad against against those Crusaders
of the of the army Fernandez was was was forbidden. And also the third thing would that was that
Allah would give up a lot of his land. And the last thing was that a hammer would hit with us, his
Muslim armies, his Moorish armies, in order to attack whatever enemy that Fernandez decided to
whatever place Fernandez decided to attack. And what do you think for Nana's attack the first he
attacked the Muslims obviously, who they attacked you wouldn't attack the Christians. So the first
person yet attacked after I made this pact with the with the leader of the Nata was that he attacked
		
00:51:17 --> 00:52:05
			Seville which was a Muslim city at the time, which is in Arabic known as well as media, as media was
a place that he attacked the first as Williams the first place that he attacked, and the armies that
actually may lay the siege to LSB Leah, where the Muslim armies led by Allah hammer. So as Mark was
attacking his own brothers, his own Muslim brothers in order to help their Christian friend against
his Muslim brother, and he laid a siege for 15 months, until esperia gave up and then they went in,
they raped the women, they killed the men, they killed children and they, they told the people to
leave the city. They told the Muslims who were there to leave, leave the city there were 400,000
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:46
			number they banished 400,000 Muslims, and these Muslims, of course, went went back to to Morocco or
basically went back to Madrid because they had nowhere else to go. Look at this. What is amazing
brothers and sisters in Islam is not only did asthma attack his own Muslim Brothers, but also his
army, his army, any LSF ecological machine isn't there isn't a righteous man amongst them, is the
righteous man amongst them. It was his army, how could he attack if his army didn't want to want to
attack but he and his army all of them attacked? somehow. So not only was he corrupt, but also he
was corrupt. You see, Allah tells us in the urn, and he says, in the law, you will be coming
		
00:52:48 --> 00:53:23
			to see him very Allah does not change the state of a person until they change their own state. So
Allah Allah did not say over here that Allah will not change the situation of the of the believers
or the Muslims until the change the hokum know, Allah say, until they change themselves, so we'll
let him because they were bad. The hokum was also bad because the people were bad. The hookah was
also bad because we are Muslims are so low in our Eman And if you look at the movement was to me the
general Muslims. That is why our rule is also the same. You can't expect them to be better if we
were better than we would be better. But because we are so low in it, man, we have left left
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:34
			religion so much that is why our rulers are also the same. And that is why it was no better than the
people who was leading until people but there
		
00:53:35 --> 00:54:11
			was daddy Rahim Allah He mentioned in an interview about that, that the people have they're not at
that time, even though they were the leaders of the world at that time, they had started to imitate
the Christians. So those are the Muslim armies in Ghana who was led by what they used to wear their
armor in the same way as Christians is to wear. The women in their in their own in Ghana used to
wear their hair in the same way the Christian women used to wear their hair. And it was truly
amazing people started to resemble the disbelievers Little by little, little by little. And so
obviously when you resemble them outwardly, then your inner heart also resembles them. And this is
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:55
			exactly what was happening with the Muslims, when they are outwardly resembling the Godfather. And
truly that was that which was in their heart as well was was was resembling that which was with the
disbelievers. So we find therefore, that truly, murder was a was a truly evil man. And he took over
here in the name of the cross, and he killed muslimeen and he drove he killed lots of lots of
Muslims, he killed them. And the main mosque had Allah, the main mosque in his belly. He's the one
who directed across there. He actually directed across there in, in answer to his Crusader masters,
answering the call of his Crusader masters he turned the main mosque in Australia into
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59
			a church and this is Muslim me doing it, isn't it? Well, of course this is enough.
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:43
			for anyone to know that it was not a Muslim thereafter. One important point that we need to know
brothers and sisters in Islam is that the reason why he was doing all of this is that he was too
busy to worry about fighting, he would rather not fight the Crusaders. He would rather spend his
time building beautiful gymnasts and beautiful palaces. And in his time, actually, Alhambra was
built, as you know, Alhambra, which is the great Palace in Karnataka, which is a great palace, and
an example of magnificent architectural wonder. It is truly deserves to be one of the great wonders
of the world. It is so beautiful and so great, we're lucky I remember some of our teachers who had
		
00:55:43 --> 00:56:25
			gone there and they had a picture that and, and, and taking a picture of it. Well, I saw your eyes
in the eyes of my tears, tears in the eyes of our teachers. And they were crying when they saw how
beautiful Grenada was and how stupid and how silly we Muslims were to have actually let such a
beautiful prize pass by us How could have let such a beautiful prize which is agenda on this earth
passed by us. And at that time was aborted that it will Ashman was too busy building gardens, and in
his time whilst the Muslims were being attacked. And once he was sending his armies in order to help
the other disbelievers against other Muslim, he was busy building libraries. And he was busy
		
00:56:25 --> 00:57:07
			building mosques. And you know, obviously most of that time we're not really properly really used as
mosques. There were, you know, splendid displays or architectural wonder. He was busy building
jannette as they used to call every garden agenda because of how beautiful they were. They were
actually dig up canals, dig up rivers, manmade rivers, that will flow through the flow through the
flow through these denmat in order to beautify and they will only make man made islands inside these
these rivers in order to beautify it, you can imagine what he was doing. He was busy doing this and
in his time he was the Muslims were being attacked. He built 300 like these of these jetnet 300
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:47
			Gardens you don't need 300 How many do you need? How many do you need really ever visit them in his
life, and he will 300 watts, the Muslims were in such a state. We come to seven in the year 671
after Hitler. And at that time, the king Fernandez three had died and he had given given his place
to alfonzo, the 10th and alfonzo. He was a very very evil man and he would constantly break the
break the treaties. As you know the Crusaders as you will notice throughout our our lecture today,
you will notice that the Christians always broke they broke the treaties, they will always
constantly break the treaties. And the Muslims was was silly enough to not even realize that they
		
00:57:47 --> 00:58:28
			were breaking the treaties and they would make a pact again, and in the pact they will say you have
to give us XML land and they will give him and then again they will break the treaties and
regulatory t in order to make another treaty again, and in this way continues for a number of years
until we come to the 671 in which alfonzo the 10th he was an animal. He was an animal in his
behavior and he would totally kill everybody and he would openly break the regular packs without any
without any truck. And he was not political like like his predecessor, but he was more rude and
hamaji or to ravage true Savage. It will happen at that time. He knew that he couldn't last against
		
00:58:28 --> 00:59:13
			Alfonso the 10th. And so he sent for an emissary to to Morocco at the time. And Morocco was being
ruled by this by by the Imam the great Imam, the great Mujahid the great hero of Islam. He of course
if the mon Sol al murrini Jaco in the muscle abuse of Jaco, mon Sol and Marina and Jaco damansara
Marina was para la jolla have described him with with things that truly describe how this person was
the ducky at the soul of he was like the remnants of the self. And they used to describe him that he
was cathedra. So he used to foster a lot, and he used to pray a lot and he was always doing Vicar
and he was extremely kind to the poor and he still loved orlimar and he never lost a battle and the
		
00:59:13 --> 00:59:54
			battle that he ever fought, he will always win, never attacked the city except that he won. He was a
hottie he was a man he was a sucky they will describe him as as a person who would prey on light and
fight all day. He was a soldier hit in the morning, and he was an Abbot at nights panela truly a
leader. So when you're cool, everyone should have medini when he got a note asking for help from his
Muslim brother in Andalus. Little does he know that this person is such a big, big treasure and a
serpent. He obviously has every Muslim brother would do go to his aid. So he organized his army of
only 5000 men, and he went off to Spain. So he left Muslim and he went up and went up to Spain when
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:55
			he reached Spain.
		
00:59:56 --> 01:00:00
			He had a major war. He called for
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:29
			Major, he had a major war with the Christians at that time. And the Christians, obviously at that
time were a 90,000 in number, whereas he was only 5000. And add another 5000 from the army armies of
Grenada. And over there, you have called the monsoon murrini. He had given a beautiful speech, which
will lie here I wanted to share with you from his great beauty however, like I don't think I can do
justice to how beautiful his speech was. He said, we're in agenda Takata.
		
01:00:30 --> 01:01:10
			Or is it not that the agenda has has come near, and the holes and the and the women of Paradise have
won the Best dresses, they are ready to get married to their to their husbands? And the rivers have
started to flow faster for in anticipation of those people who will drink for it. And the and the
and the tents of paradise and it's and it's pull, and it's purely tents have become open. And the
agenda is calling out to you asking you begging you to come and take its place? And will you not
answer the call. And so we'll let you give such a beautiful talk to the people and the people all
decided to hug each other and were there last close in order to as you know, they were already to
		
01:01:10 --> 01:01:54
			die in the cause of Allah subhanaw taala It so happened that only 500 or 600 the Muslims died in
that battle. However most of the Christians died of the 90,000 against 10,000 most of the Christians
died against our law come in theoretically let in how many small armies have have overcome larger
armies, the vanilla by the will of Allah subhanaw taala well lucky when Omar got a note of asking
for help from his commanders, he used to write back to them Allah, I'm not going to send you any
Mother, I'm not going to send you any help. However, I will send you this piece of advice, you will
win not because of numbers but by law he you will win because of taqwa you are your greatest enemy
		
01:01:55 --> 01:02:35
			he used to write you are your greatest enemy, Your sins are the reasons for your loss, not because
of loss of numbers will lie. And this is so true. So true. We find yet again and again in the
history of unrest and the history of a Muslim world, how so many few in number would take over
large, large quantities of people. Why because of the strength of the men, because we're lucky they
would love to die as we love to live today. And we'll let his final you know, and what can I say?
Well, you know, I'm at a loss to describe how we have become so, so useless as soon as as soon as
Elon had said they will not he will not be a lesson number will be huge will be large. So Pamela we
		
01:02:35 --> 01:03:09
			are so large number that even a wave that came a couple of days ago you know the tsunami disaster
and even though it wiped out 200,000 people will lie, we still have a large number, we still have
such a large number. So we are large in number will lie but we are with circles that is said we are
like the form of the ocean and will lie the solar system could not have found a better description
for us. Because we are like this form that even the ocean hits when you know the ocean hits. And
still the form doesn't do anything and the form only increases the number and when they shut down
and the enemy hits us and then it says we do nothing. And we are like that form that just increases
		
01:03:09 --> 01:03:22
			the number useless to the on my users to Allah. Allah use this to ourselves. We can't even defend
ourselves to defend anyone else in the year 673 is the time in which
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:38
			jacoba Masuda Marina attacked the Christians and he took over and he defeated them. So when he
defeated them, he attacked after that he attacked Seville which was a speedy at that time he
attacked SP Leah and it remembers really it was the town that
		
01:03:41 --> 01:04:07
			you know destroyed it wasn't it and it helped the Christians take over. So it took over a year
thereafter he helped 45 Karnataka and he left Karnataka to ignore and he went back he left the
Karnataka and he went back he left Grenada and he went back to to Morocco to Madrid thereafter in
the year 673. Ashmore
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:14
			died and he had a son by the name of Mohammed
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:17
			Mohammed Omar was called
		
01:04:19 --> 01:04:22
			he was called what alpha T the Wilma he Makana vifa
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:34
			he was not 14 at all I rather he was a jarhead ignorant man. He was a gentle ignorant message to say
well he's Cathedral Vicar Cathedral.
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:59
			But he was considered difficult because a lot of thought used to think a lot and and and and you
know remember Allah Allah he he would only think about how to be a traitor against his Muslim
Brothers as you will see what happened when when the Aqua Masuda Marina was becoming so successful.
And alpha k this man he became very jealous. He became what he became very jealous. So he went to
the King of kings.
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:40
			At that time, and he asked the king to help him to attack Ooh, Yahoo, the monsoon marine. He, he
went to his disbelieving friend and he asked him all my dear friend wants you to help me attack my
so called brother in Islam and Spangler the king would gladly help him to attack your Muslim
brother. So when you when you have to Masuda murrini heard about this, he came back in a hurry. And
when he came back in a hurry to to Spain, again, obviously he was a Muslim, he came back in a hurry.
When he came back in a hurry and the and the Muslim armies were there on the battlefield. The
Christian army actually ran away. When the soul Yakumo so many they never, they never forgot him,
		
01:05:40 --> 01:06:14
			because only a couple of years ago, they had 14 when they Yakumo Sylvania destroyed them. So Allah
here it is, as Allah subhanaw taala had said, the solar system had said who said Rb masirah. Tasha,
I have been aided with the fear in the hearts of the people the distance of a month travel, even
before you after the monsoon Marina was was coming, people were whispering to each other Yaqoob is
coming up Who's coming? What is going to happen? And of course, when they saw him, that's it they
went they would rather save their lives rather than diet, the diet the sword in the on the
battlefields of obviously when the Christians ran away, and the Christian King ran away as well,
		
01:06:14 --> 01:06:20
			what was left of hockey was left and so fuck a salad to make excuses. He came to
		
01:06:21 --> 01:06:51
			me and said, well, nah, he you know, I was pressured into this and that and will lie he knows how to
make excuses. And this great Imam, this great habit, he forgave him, he forgiven for tea. And not
only that he left all the lands and gave it to 40 as a gift, and said, just because you repented as
well, all the lands that the Muslim armies from Morocco had conquered, this is for you as well as a
gift and a tremendous the courage and the kindness of this man after the Muslim arena was truly
tremendous. And he and he left that
		
01:06:52 --> 01:07:02
			we come to the 685 after hinted at that in that year yakou komatsuna Marina Rahim Allah He died in
the 685 and he was
		
01:07:03 --> 01:07:21
			replaced by a sudden use of the globe. Everyone saw Marina use of this manual use of use of was not
as strong as his father, however, he was also also a righteous man. He was not as as much as a
fighter and a knight like his father, but but still he was righteous man. And when fucky
		
01:07:22 --> 01:07:35
			fucky when he saw that use of the monsoon marine he had died. What do you think he did? Tell me what
you think he did. He went again to the king of Estonia he went to them and said help me against
		
01:07:36 --> 01:08:04
			against the sun use of support Allah he goes back to his old ways through this man hasn't repented
to Allah Allah he goes back to his always let you know when you read about this. It is as if you're
reading the biographies of some of our rulers today. It is unbelievable isn't it is unbelievable
truly how they betray their brothers, even though the brothers had had so kindly forgiven them. Of
course, what was the Hakuna Islam for for alpha key when he when he was actually attacking the
Muslims with an ad with a Christian Rosa hobo Islam
		
01:08:05 --> 01:08:46
			kill, isn't it, the hook of Islam for such such a traitor was to be put to death. However, we are
the ones who would have forgiven him, he never thought that he was going to do this thing again,
which silly person does that again, except a disbeliever. And so that is what he did. And he went
against so useful murrini. And what happened was in the year 701, alpha died and he was replaced by
an Amish, his son called Amish and this son Amish, he aided the Christians in taking over the
Straits of Gibraltar. So now the Christians ruled over the Straits of Gibraltar, making sure that
therefore the help that would come from Madrid from the bottom would not reach under this anymore.
		
01:08:46 --> 01:09:32
			Meaning that that will be the end of the help that will ever come from Morocco and and and Madrid to
ever help the Muslims in Spain. As you know, spatola you know, the people of Madrid had a great hand
in making sure the Muslim Spain were together. And they prospered however it was when they actually
cut off the Madrid completely, and the 45 the castles against the Muslim health coming from Morocco,
that truly will let Hispaniola that was the end of they had sealed their fate basically, under loose
their their fate was was sealed. So we come about about 160 years later, we've come to the year 871,
which is 871, which is about 26 years before the end of under this before the end of Andalus. And
		
01:09:32 --> 01:10:00
			throughout this time, 160 years, the Muslims had was was still led by very weak, weak rulers and
they were always fighting each other and breaking up and the reason why the Christians couldn't
attack them and take over the Muslims was because the Christians themselves were divided. So all
throughout this time the Christians themselves were divided 460 years yet in the years 871 the Queen
other Christians that Isabel Her name was of the
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:38
			The Queen of Castilian Isabel at the king of Aragon, they decided to get married. And what's the
problem when people get married, there's no problem is there. But the problem here was that because
two kingdoms were coming together, the Christians were not divided anymore. And because they were
married now, and they will get married, and then and and so the forces of the Christians will be
united now against the, against the Muslims. And this truly was the end of under this because Queen
Isabella he made she made a promise that she would not sleep with the king, king Aragon until, until
they are taken over the palaces of Karnataka, and that he would, they would only sleep together in
		
01:10:38 --> 01:11:15
			the palaces of the Muslims. Somehow this is the promise. This is the oath that she that she took
upon herself. And so obviously the king would want to sleep with his bride. And so he rallies his
armies together in order to attack the Muslims at that time, the Muslims were being ruled by two
sons of the halifa the Muslims at that time, but we're ruled by this person by the name of Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah Allah Allah meaning the person who is who wins, what is a better word for the
violin, the person who wins by the by the by the fortunate with the good fortune of Allah subhanaw
taala and by another man by the name of Allah, and he was his brother at level a devil basically
		
01:11:15 --> 01:11:15
			means
		
01:11:16 --> 01:11:28
			courageous person, obviously they were never created any huge titles Mashallah you know, like we
have today in a custodian etc and this and that, we have huge titles that will lie he they have
very, very little meaning Yeah.
		
01:11:29 --> 01:12:08
			Empty meaning with a huge title is Mashallah and the titles are bigger than the people themselves
panel and Allah biller, they are valuable and other they were fighting each other and electron of
hamdulillah. They they agree to come down the fighting However, they decide to break up Guernica,
which was the biggest city at that time, the the, the pride of space and spend the time that decided
to break it up between themselves so valuable that took half of Spain, half of Guernica, essentially
taken half of Spain with him, half of whatever was left from from the Muslim Spain at that time,
whereas the devil took over the other half. So what happened was in the lab, he had a wife and he
		
01:12:08 --> 01:12:49
			had a concubine that he had his wife was a Muslim woman by the name of Ayesha and he had a son with
that with Ayesha by the name of a serif and will lie he was a serif he was called a Sufi I won't lie
he was silly, as you will see, he is the person who handed over Spain to the far without even
raising a single finger as you will come to each other. He was truly a serie, whereas a lalibela he
slept with a obviously he slept with his concubine, and he had a son from her. She was a she was a
Christian concubine, Christian woman. And and she was actually available I used to write poems about
how he was so overtaken by her beauty and her charm. And it was later on found Of course, this this
		
01:12:49 --> 01:13:16
			Christian punky one was sent as a spy and as a infiltrator to try and charm the halifa into giving
over granata to the Christians. So she had a he had a he had a child with this description
concubine. And and this child was his name was above the Love is a Muslim, and but yet, obviously
from a Christian concubine, that people would never accept him as a leader over over Spain. However,
the Christian concubine because she was she would always,
		
01:13:18 --> 01:14:00
			you know, convinced him to she had a stronghold and vulnerability on the on the Khalif lalibela, she
convinced him to actually put Ayesha and her son as severe into a into a tower, and lock them in the
tower whereas, and to make her son which was above the law, make Hindi leader over the Muslims in
Karnataka, and this is what he did. However, of course, the Muslims never wanted a man who was born
of a Christian woman, and would not even accept Islam. And Muslims would never accept such a person
as a leader. And so they had a civil revolution. They had revolution at that time, and until which
after which they actually got out of surgery, and they made a surgery the ruler over over Spain, and
		
01:14:00 --> 01:14:04
			a 78 as well, he killed us, he banished his father.
		
01:14:06 --> 01:14:17
			And he took over the other part of Granada, which was with a double and so so he therefore united as
ornata before the final handover to the Christians in the year 19.
		
01:14:18 --> 01:14:59
			In the year 896, after Hitler, the year before andalas was to fall forever. In the in that year, the
Christian decided to get the forces and fight, fight as severe as you know, 70 he was overnight to
the last king of regatta and he was the one who was was a final thorn in the throat of the
Crusaders. And a severe I will lie he didn't want to fight them. But then after asking all his
counsel, he decided that there was no way out except to fight the Crusaders at that time, a Mujahid
by the name of musala san Rahim Allah He rallied the people just like Chico slama Tamia did at the
time of when when guitars were were attacking. Somehow Allah Allah said this man moves out of Assam
		
01:14:59 --> 01:15:00
			to rally the people.
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:38
			And he rallied the people and made they want to fight, fight, fight, fight the Crusaders, and
defended of the Crusaders for seven months, for how many months for six to seven months. Thereafter,
the king and queen of the Queen Isabella and her and her husband for Aragon, they sent an emissary
to us to accelerate and said, We will give you 70 conditions, we'll do 70 things for you with the
condition that you hand over the matter to us, and give and give granted to us. And from these
conditions or that that we will not harm you, we will not harm your your children will not harm your
family. And you know, things like that all guaranteeing the king that he was going to be saved, and
		
01:15:38 --> 01:16:10
			we will give you x number of wives and concubines I will give you so much money. And this and that
spiral. And this man has studied he thought that this is a good deal. He thought that this is a good
deal because he doesn't he didn't have faith in in the Muslim power, he didn't have faith in the
fact that Muslims could defend their lands. And so he thought that this is a good deal. Let me just
sell myself off. But then he made two conditions. And look at these conditions of account the
conditions of account, he said that the king and the queen have to come and swear by Allah,
		
01:16:11 --> 01:16:26
			swear by God, that these conditions are true. And you know, the Christians obviously say what a
stupid condition, you know, as if we're gonna as if we care. And so they did it, you know, they read
to this condition. And the second condition is that the Pope has to be our leader in affairs.
		
01:16:27 --> 01:16:36
			And the Pope has to agree to these conditions. And so in the Pope's Pamela, how can you take someone
it's like taking the United Nations as a leader, isn't it between our fans see how
		
01:16:38 --> 01:16:48
			it is happening all the time, he's taking the Pope's handle as the Guardian in case of dispute if,
if, for example, the Christian just doesn't fill up what fulfill one of these conditions, he's gonna
go to the Pope.
		
01:16:50 --> 01:17:30
			And that man is on land, this is so amazing. This is these are the two conditions when when the
Buddha had muscle and muscle musasa when he saw these conditions, he gave a football to the people
and told the people will lie. This is a end to your school, this is an end to mosques, this is an
end to Islam in Ghana, you must not I must agree, but then the people agreed and agreed, of course
most of the Nasser he had a small band of of men, he did not agree and he said well I will I will
prefer death rather than rather than slavery to the to the Christians. And so obviously he put on
his armor and he went out and fought in what we what we call suicide missions these days. And he
		
01:17:30 --> 01:18:13
			went and fought until he died. And this was with with his death with his death, the death of Musa
Musa Hassan died the Islamic fervor the the desire to defend under laws. And with that, surveyed
handed over he he went off to the to the king and queen to hand over the keys of Canada to them
whilst he was passing by the beautiful palaces while she was passing by the beautiful, beautiful
palaces of Spain and the beautiful gardens. You know, these are valleys and valleys, not just one,
one or two. These are valleys of the most exquisite architecture and most exquisite wonders in the
world. And he went when he was passing by and he was taking his mother with him. The story is
		
01:18:13 --> 01:18:53
			narrated that his beard was filled with tears and he was crying. And so his mother told him
something very important. He told him, You are crying like a woman when you could not defend your
city like a man saying I will be learning what a way to truly describe a coward and a traitor and a
person who had absolutely no no honor and no bravery in his heart. You will can't cry like a man
First of all, and you will also it was so small that you could not defend your city like a man's.
And this is truly what describes the fall under this the reason why we truly let others go was that
we cry like women we forget that we are true men and because we could we cannot defend our cities
		
01:18:53 --> 01:19:00
			like true men Subhanallah This is truly the reason for the for the fall under this that the dounia
had had
		
01:19:01 --> 01:19:31
			had filled us up as a loss pedal so what what is the Korean American mafia mafia mafia? For suppose
we have hochkar legal code for them or not at Mira? Allah, Allah says, Allah, Allah wants to destroy
a nation, then he orders both raffia and what trophy has been a battle of the land who mentioned is
that we ordered the people or we allow the people to be in to indulge in luxury for them to indulge
in luxury and matters of this world, such that when there are so Delve,
		
01:19:32 --> 01:19:59
			dwelling dwelling in it, and they're immersed in this luxury and love of this world of Palo Alto,
then because of that we punish them for them Myrna Mira so we destroy them with the complete
destruction. And this is what Allah subhanaw taala tells us and the truly love hate is because we
have one in a heart and and hope home for the dunya one is the fear of death and and love for this
life. Truly, this was a reason why we had lost some of the greatest, you know treasures of this
world.
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:07
			greatest prize that we could ever earn we have ever been in this world. And that was the Anglos that
that was a lone star and
		
01:20:08 --> 01:20:12
			I urge my brothers, students love to think about the history of others and how
		
01:20:13 --> 01:20:43
			we will always be trade. We always betrayed ourselves why we always let ourselves down why we're
lucky, you know, the disbelievers can never beat us because we're always stronger. It can never beat
us. It is the enemy inside it is the enemy inside we are our greatest enemy. And that is why truly
Los Angeles because we could not control the enemy inside. If we could control the enemy inside,
then surely we would win in this life in the hereafter as well. And Alas, brother knows best Nicola
