AI: Transcript ©
So Alhamdulillah,
we are looking at the 26th
juz of the Quran
which encompasses
an increasing number of surahs as the surahs
are getting shorter, generally speaking, as we approach
the back of the Mus'af
And this encompasses Surat Al Akhaf, Surat Muhammad
or Surat Al Khitel
and Surat Al Fath and Surat Al Hujurat
and,
Surat Kaf
and the beginning of Surat Dariyat.
So we're gonna be looking at specifically Surah
Al Fath.
And Surah Al Fath is a Midinian Surah.
It was
actually
revealed
when the prophet
was in Hudaybiyyah,
which even though is technically closer to Mecca
than in Medina,
but it was after the hijra. So we
define a surah being as medinean if it
happens after the hijra,
even though if the prophet
was closer to Mecca or in Mecca itself.
And the Munas Saba,
of this surah, Surat Al Fath, which means
the opening or the conquest,
is that
in the
5th year of the Hijra, the prophet
made an intention to go to make Ummrah
in Mecca
with the Sahaba while he was in Medina.
So, this is a large group, maybe around
a 1,500,400
on the Sahaba
were on their way. And,
they got in their eharam,
and they're on their way to
make, the umrah. They did not have an
intention to
have any sort of,
confrontation with, Quraysh
in Mecca.
But as they get their approach there and
their presence becomes known to the,
Meccans, the Horace,
they
made camp right outside of Mecca in a
place called the Hodevia, which is about
20 kilometers or so outside of Mecca.
And it's there that they sent one of
their emissaries, a man by the name of
Suhayl ibn Amr to meet the prophet
to negotiate
how they would enter into
Mecca.
And
without going into the whole long story, the
the result of it was that they
agreed, even though the Sahaba, some of them
were reluctant,
that they would not make umrah that year
and they would come back the next year,
which was known as Umrah till Qadah.
The Umrah of Qadah, the Umrah that they're
making up for the one not entering.
And it was during this time that the
Prophet SAW Hassan also sent Saydnauth Medib Nafen
as an emissary into Mecca
to
negotiate before Suhail ibn Abdr comes to them.
And he got delayed,
and the prophet did not know why he
got delayed. He got delayed because he was
invited by some of his relatives who still
remained in Mecca.
But then the rumor circulated, whether purposefully by
the Quraysh or otherwise, whatever the case may
be, that the Sadna of Ben was killed
by the Quraysh.
And so when this news reached the prophet
then this is when the Bayat Al Hudaybiyyah
happened or Bayat Al Ridwan
which we'll talk about when we get to
those verses, but the Bayat basically
is the Sahaba pledging an oath of fealty
to
the Prophet
and here this particular oath of fealty was
also
That they would fight until death,
to avenge
Sayyidina Uthman,
and
with the Meccans, with the Quraysh.
So he comes back sometime later before all
of that gets
started, and so they knew that that didn't
happen. And then the the treaty of Hudaybiyyah
was conducted, Sodh Hodevia.
And this was a treaty that,
ostensibly set for 10 years of,
10 years of Hudna
or
of reconciliation
between
the prophet
and Quraysh in Mecca. Though it only lasted
two and a half years,
the Quran still describes it as a fatha,
as an opening and we'll see why in
the surah and it begins with
We have opened for you a great opening.
And the Mufassir don't differ about what this
fatha entails.
What was this
opening? The strongest opinion that it was the
fat of
Hudaybiyyah, which was not a military conquest at
all but rather was a treaty.
And some of the narrations indicate that the
prophet
said,
is it really an opening? Because to them
they go to make planning to make umrah,
they're unarmed, they didn't have an intention for
any fighting, and they're rebuffed.
And they go back to Mecca without making
the umrah. Go back to in Madinah without
making an umrah. So they said, how is
that a fath? And the prophet said,
it is the greatest of openings
because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has been pleased
with us that,
now the mushrikeem have more exposure to Islam
and we have this amen.
Right? We have the safety. So it indicates
that the dua in Islam, the dua in
Allah
when it's allowed to operate freely
without this worry about
harassment
from
from the Quraysh and even worse than that
of even threats of physical violence violence and
aggression,
that that's a great opening. And indeed, it
was a great opening because in the two
and a half ensuing years,
more people came into Islam in those two
and a half years than all of the
people before that. When the Prophet
makes hijrah to
Mecca to Medina from Mecca,
the inhabitants of Mecca were roughly 4 to
5000 people,
the estimates.
How many people made the Hejira? Less than
100.
So
not a significant number, obviously, if we're looking
at the percentages of how many made hejos,
less than
10%, obviously.
So,
many also people
remained back who were believers but did not
have the ability to go and make Hajar.
And so they still had to kind of
very
surreptitiously and quietly practice their Islam even while
they remained in Mecca and they could not
join the prophet in Medina.
And there are some verses of Surat Al
Fath that talk about those particular people that
we'll see.
So the other opinions also ranged Fat HaMecca,
the conquest of Mecca, which happened in the
8th year of the hijra, so at least
2 years,
3 years after this.
Or it could have been Fath Chaybar
with the opening of Chaybar, which was the
Hosun, the fortresses that were occupied by the
Jewish tribes, and the Deenah Ghadl Ruben Nabisar
the ones who betrayed him in Hazrat Al
Azeb. But nonetheless, the majority opinions remain that
this Fath was a fatha of Hudaybiyyah
or the treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
Right. Here, Lam, generally would say, Lam,
Ataleel.
Right. The reason that we're giving you this
is so that you may
be forgiven.
That which came before in terms of your
sins and that which came after.
This is addressing the prophet Muhammad
And in the same vein, we should mention
verse
19
from Surah Muhammad because that kind of completes
the story for us. Where Allah says
Allah
that there is no God except Allah. And
seek forgiveness for your
them.
And also on behalf of the believers, the
believing men and the believing women.
And Allah knows your Mutakallab
right where you are
not, station where you're not stationary, where you
are moving,
and where you are,
here, iqama,
right. And methuakam here could mean in the
final abode,
in the afterlife.
So then question arises, well, did the prophet
actually commit sins? And the answer to that
is emphatically
and unequivocally no. All of the prophets were
infallible, all of the prophets were sinless. This
is the belief of Ahlus Sunnah. Both
so before they were prophets and even after
they were prophets.
And here we define sin
as
that which is considered by their Sharia to
be sinful.
Not what may be
considered in terms of the relationship of the
prophet or
any other prophet with Allah,
as they say. In other words that
there's also a taraki,
there's also an ascendency and degrees,
with the prophets
towards Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in their knowledge.
So just like every one of us is
hopefully on a knowledge journey
towards Allah, so were the prophets. But their
starting point
is higher than anyone else's ending point, so
we will never reach even the starting point
of the Prophets. But nonetheless they're on that
tarakti.
And so,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can speak to the
prophet in a way that we cannot think
of or we cannot speak.
And they also
say that,
which means the good deeds
of good people
may be considered faulty
or or a shortcoming
for the Mookhar Rabeen,
those who are further along on their knowledge
journey, their spiritual journey path, or closer to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And so there are things between Allah and
his prophet we may never know, that's between
Allah and his prophet, but we know that
the prophet
is sinless,
did not commit sins and here if we
think of them, we think of them in
the sense of maybe something that would have
been more
preeminent or precedent for the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam to do than what he actually
chose.
Like when Allah says to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam in Surat
So when the people of Medina came
to give their excuse and their their their
shaky excuse, their flimsy excuse
that they won't go on the expedition to
Tabuk to towards the Byzantine,
the border of the Byzantine Empire, which actually
no fight actually happened, but it was a
long
arduous
difficult campaign to march north in the in
the late summer all the way towards the
Byzantine Empire in the north. So many of
them gave these flimsy excuses. And the prophet
accepted their excuses.
And then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
So you can tell the the ones who
are being truthful are the ones who are
lying. So that's like maybe you can think
of it as a as a as a
rebuke,
but look at the way that Allah addressed
the prophet
Allahu Anka. You know, may Allah have Afu
upon you, Allah pardons you, but why did
you Because that was the heart of the
prophet
He he was parting to people and maybe
in a mulkif,
in a situation
that he should have been more stern with
them.
So if that's a sin, like then, you
know, then you can think of that, well
that's what a prophetic sin would look like.
Not the sins that we do that are
clear
transgressions against the sharia.
So anyway,
the rest of the verse,
Right? And this
was also uttered by Sitina Aisha
when she found the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
This is also happened in Medina and he
was praying long nights till his ankles or
his calves swelled
And she asked him, you know, Why do
you do all of this?
And Allah has forgiven you, probably she's quoting
Suratul Fath,
all of your sins. Whether they came before,
they came after.
And then the Prophet replies back to, Afalaqul
Abdan shakura?
Should I not be a grateful servant? So
worship
because of gratitude, not worship because you're trying
to get something in terms of recompense or
reward
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Right? And he will complete his niyama, his
blessing upon you here with insha'Allah eventually will
be Fat Hamakah, the conquest of Mecca. And
he goes back to Mecca.
And to lead you on the straight path.
Right? We saw the word Aziz before, Allah
Aziz un Hakim, one of the names of
Allah's Aziz.
The one that no one can repel their
execution of something when they want to do
it. So this Nasr An Azizan,
a total or complete victory.
He is the one who put the the
tranquinity, the serenity in the hearts of the
believers.
So that they may increase
with the that they already have.
So there's a type of that's
characterized by by by
by ease,
by
being contented with the decree of Allah, the
decree of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. This is
Iman ala Iman or some of them say,
light upon light.
Right? And Allah has the junood,
those forces that are at his disposal of
both the heavens and the earth.
Right? In another verse, and no one knows
the true junu, the true forces of Allah
except him.
Right? Maybe that's an isharah.
Only Allah knows his Junud
and Hakim and He will dispense them and
He will distribute them by His wisdom, by
His hikmah.
And also that the believing men and the
believing woman will enter into paradise
under with under which rivers flow.
Forever.
And to expiate all of their sins or
their minor sins.
So even if you don't realize the
victory
that you had anticipated
in the terrestrial realm, you will always have
the victory
in the celestial realm. And so before the
Sahaba embarked on any campaign, they always had
in their heart,
1 of the 2 good things. Either we
will win the victory on the battlefield
or maybe we may
be martyred and then we'll have the victory
in the next life. Either way,
they're victorious.
And also to punish the and
the
those who pretend to be Muslim from men
and women.
The ones who had this suspicion with Allah.
They thought, you know, they said
They thought after this campaign to Hudaybia or
after the campaign to Tabuk that they're not
coming back. That's what the Munafiqeen were saying
in Medina.
Muhammad and his people, they weren't really far
away, they may never come back, what can
we do?
They said, means Allah's,
this is like a dua against them, a
supplication against them.
Allah is informing us.
The circle of evil comes back to them.
And Allah, His wrath is upon them
and His curse
and he has prepared for them hellfire
which is the worst place to be.
And again
the forces of the and again the forces
of the are
for Allah
The previous verses,
right, maybe an indication
that the forces
ease to the believers, Allah knows who they
are. Here,
that
talks
about
the
and their plotting and their machinations and their
rumor mongering and their innuendos about the believers.
No matter what they do, they will not
defeat the forces of Allah, of the heavens
and the earth.
They will not be able to overcome what
Allah wants something to be, it will be.
We have sent you as a as
a witness
and the one who brings good tidings and
good news to the believers
and the warner to the one who did
not accept,
so that you may believe in Allah and
His messenger,
so
which is to give him aid.
That Allah says to the prophet in the
Quran,
It's enough for you that you have Allah
and enough for the believers.
Or you can read it, it's enough for
you that you have Allah and Allah gives
you the believers also. So this to
give a, to give victory the prophet
to be from amongst his junood,
amongst his forces,
it's a command.
Right?
Means to have respect, to have reverence,
to
sign the prophet his proper maqam.
Right? Tazbih is only for Allah Subhana Wa
Ta'ala.
So
that you make tasbih, book rattan early in
the day and late in the day, which
can
Right? Also the Quran of the Fajr or
the Subhaq prayer because there's a special significance
to it.
This is when the angels according to hadith
bukhari,
they come in and then another group of
angels come in from Fazur to Assar and
the same thing happens at at Assar and
then they say
We left them and they were praying, and
we came back and they're still praying.
Then the next verse is the is the
verse of the of the Be'ah that we
were talking about earlier in the Hudaybiyyah.
So what is the characteristic of this particular
bayah, this oath of fealty of the Sahaba
to the Prophet Muhammad
The ones who are giving bayah, who are
making this oath to the prophet
speaking to him,
They're actually, in actuality,
giving the Bayah to Allah
The hand of God is above their hands,
not a literal hand, Allah doesn't have a
limb,
we don't have to go through all of
that, but it's a right? It's
So it means that
really consider yourself when you're giving to
the Prophet
that you're actually giving to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
And whoever breaks that breaks that covenant, it
goes back to themselves.
Right? But whoever fulfills their covenant, fulfills that
oath,
fulfills the
We
will give them
a great reward.
We'll give them a great reward.
So the next verses talk about some of
the excuses
that especially the desert Bedouins, the Arab, who
were from around in Medina but nonetheless were
part of the covenant of in Medina
where they say Allah says about them
Those who
defied the command of the prophet to go
out toward Hudaybia.
From the desert nomadic Bedouins around and Madinah,
what do they say?
Yeah, and we've been busy with our wealth
and our families.
So seek forgiveness on our behalf.
They say with their tongues that which is
not in their heart, because they're not sincere,
they just don't want to go.
Not because they're busy with their families or
busy with tending their flocks or whatever they
might be.
Say to them,
Who amongst you has the power
of anything to stop anything or bring about
anything?
If Allah seeks that He brings harm to
you
or seeks to bring benefit. Even those things
you think you're busy with, who do you
think they came from? They came from Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Right?
And over follows the Messenger
has followed Allah. So how is it that
you're not following the prophet here? In essence,
you're not following Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Right? Allah is well acquainted with what you
have in your heart.
Here he's talking about
from the and from those who didn't go.
You didn't think they were coming back.
You thought it was over and that's what
you're telling people and spreading this rumor.
Right? And this was adorned in your heart.
Satan, he made this adorned and you've actually
believed your own lie.
And you had this this suspicion and
it's not knowledge
but something that they wanted to happen or
they suspect it would happen.
Right? You will be a people that will
destroy it if you continue
on this path.
So I'm gonna skip to verse,
18 which also mentions the Bey'ah,
here about the Ridha of Allah Subhana Wa
Ta'ala
Allah is pleased with the believers.
So in Hudavia there was a large tree
that
the all 1500 men or people that was
with the Prophet
gave the to
this blessed tree.
Is that tree still there? No. Even during
the time of Umar when he passed by,
he said the tree was no longer there.
There is a well in that area if
you ever visit at Hudavia which is just
outside of Becca, which kind of signifies the
general area where
the Surah Hudavia happened.
Right? Allah of course knows what's in their
hearts when they give that way, and then
in other words, you're willing to sacrifice everything.
Right? And then the Sekinah came upon them,
then they were in a good state because
they were ready.
And in fact, when they had to turn
back
and go back to Medina after they were
not allowed to do the ommah, but the
the tree of Hudaybiyyah
was concluded, the Prophet had one of his
wives with him,
our mother,
and he went inside his tent and she
said, you know, she saw that he was
somewhat distraught because the Sahaba were not really
accepting. Even Umar said to the prophet, so
I said to them,
Are we not upon truth and they are
upon falsehood? How is the
how is that working?
She said, If you go outside,
and if you take your sheep, and you
slaughter it, and you shave your head like
you just did the ommrah, then everyone will
follow.
So he did that, he took her advice,
and everyone did that. And then the next
year they came back and did their Ummatul
Qadaw.
And then a year after that,
that was
Fath Hamakkah,
a year and a half after that, the
opening
conquest of Mecca and in a peaceful
now with 10,000
soldiers with him, Muhammad
enters into Mecca, not as a conqueror but
as a liberator, as people
as,
someone who who brought the the true meanings
of the din for people who are already
there and ready to accept it. And no
one
was there was no major bloodshed, there was
no battles, there was no fighting of swords.
And in fact when he enters into Mecca
and one of the Ansar, one of the
people of Medina was holding the Raya or
the standard
and when he's walking and they're getting into
close with Medina he said,
today is a day of
epic battle,
right? Like we're gonna take revenge upon these
people.
And the prophet
takes Zalaya away from him, he said,
That's not the day that we're having today,
this is the day of mercy. And he
enters Mecca with
his head down
and
in humility,
entering into
into Mecca
this way. And this was the sunnah that
was followed by all of the Muslim generals
after that. Say, Naman al Khattab when he
enters into Baytul Maqdis
and he was given the keys to the
city, he also entered with his head down.
And Mohammed the conqueror,
also when he entered into Istanbul or was
Constantinople
also
with his head down, so we don't go
in, we don't destroy, we don't pillage, we
don't colonize, we don't exile people from their
homes, we don't
bomb
indiscriminately
and then call it collateral damage. That's never
been the sunnah of our Prophet
or the sunnah of Islam or the sunnah
of any sane rational
caring principled person.
So now I want to skip to
the last part
of the surah
which is
one of my favorite parts of the Quran.
All the Quran is good, but
this one in particular,
Uluwuta'ala,
number 27.
So the prophet before Hudaybia,
before the Umrah, he had seen in his
dream he's entering to Mecca, and he sees
in his dream
that,
people are making tawafar on the Kaaba and
some have their head shaved which is
the stronger sunnah after making ommrat to shave
the head,
or some of them also had their hair
just cut which is also sunnah.
So he sees that in the dream and
people got wind of that and so they
had the expectation
that that was going to happen when they
go to make the Ummrah, but then they
come back.
So here Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, what did
he say? LaqatsalakAllahu
Rasulahu ruya bilhaqq.
Right? This is yet to come but it
will come.
That,
Allah has proven true, will prove true the
ruya, the night dream
of the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. Bilhaq
latat kholun al masjidil haram, you will enter.
The masjidil haram, insha Allahu aaminin.
Right? Aminin, in complete safety. No one will
bother you.
With some of your head shaved
and some with the haircut.
There will be no fear upon you.
Right? You thought it was gonna be this
year but Allah knows what you do not
know.
But after that a close fatha.
Here they said this fatha was a fatha
khair
of those,
those tribes that betrayed the prophet Muhammad
and they're able to penetrate their fortresses.
He is the one Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
who sent his messenger with
guidance with Deen al Haqq and the Deen
of Haqq,
the deen of the true and of the
real.
To supersede all that which came before.
And it's enough that Allah is the witness,
the witness of who? Muhammadun Rasulullah.
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
And the people with him from the Sahaba,
and we can infer the meaning even after
the Sahaba with him in heart.
They don't tolerate
disbelief in the sense that they don't accept
it for themselves.
But amongst themselves they are merciful.
You find them in ruku and in sujood.
They are seeking the
blessing and the virtue from Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
and his contentment.
You see their
signs in their faces.
Some of the mufassareen said literally
what we call the zabiba
or or both it could mean.
Yeah, the one who
maintains a night vigil that the Hajjut
If they do in the night then they
have
as the hadith mentioned.
Right? This is also the example of those
who followed in their time the Torah, the
Torah.
And also those in the gospel who follow
the true followers of Jesus and the true
followers of Moses
They also had these characteristics.
What was the the the
How? Right? Like a zara,
like something
a crop or plant like corn
and then the seed comes out
then it's planted
then this it becomes a stalk, it becomes
stronger.
Then it becomes thicker.
Right? And then the soup which is the
kind of the main part of the plant.
Now it's strong and it has multiplied.
So the seed of Nabuwa,
one person it began
with the prophet and now we have
over 7,000,000,000 Muslims. And in the time of
Musa, in the time of Isa, in the
time of all of the prophets, very similar.
And an example of the Zura, the one
who planted, who made the crop,
they see this Kathra, this Mubaha and this
increase in
iman. Right? This will not be a happy
day for the disbelievers.
Allah has promised those from amongst them who
believe and do the good works
a great forgiveness and
a great reward.
