Every night during the nights of Ramadan, I've
been taking you back on time
to spend moment
on the time of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam.
And this
is my
the Khattara of Ramadan, The one before the
last. Last one about the process will be
tomorrow after ish. Insha'Allah.
But I thought it would be nice tonight
to take you back on time and place.
To let you know a little bit and
have to visualize
the life of Muhammad
even more.
By walking you
to where he used to live.
So you can understand a little bit more
about his lifestyle
And if you ask where he lived,
he lived
in a house
that it is very, very, very, very moderate,
and even moderate is a little bit
an exaggeration.
That house and I will only choose or
the the house of Aisha as
example.
It says in the east side of the
Masjid, the southeast of the Masjid,
and that house of the prophet
made of 2 units.
The word in Arabic language, it means something
that it is
basically covered from all sides, from 4 sides.
Yani has wall from 4 sides, but the
top
is open.
It's not covered.
We call it outside,
and it is open from the top. That's
So if they
said,
it means that.
What is this? What's the size of it?
The size of this one
is basically
in modern days, in our wave calculation here
in the United States,
it will be about
7 feet by 5 and a half.
7 feet by 5 and a half. That's
the area, the open area.
Has a door?
No, it doesn't.
Has no door to outside,
and outside there is an opening like this,
and that that's very high. But the opening
goes straight to the Masjid,
from the east side of the Masjid. Okay.
So the Prophet
will walk straight from
his Hujulah
to that Masjid, to the Masjid, where people
are sitting.
What's on it? What cover it? Is it
a door?
That opening
It is a thick
material.
A thick material
that it is made of maybe
the the hair of the camels and some
and threads and slight. It's like just and
maybe some even
like the the sticks from taken from the
palm trees branches.
Just, you know, something a thick material. It's
like a thick,
let's say,
something similar to that, like a a thick
kind of carpet like this.
That it will be on the door.
So
when he comes to the Masjid,
he will lift it up,
then he will go
inside. That's it.
Sitter.
What's in there? Like a curtain, like a
thick curtain.
What's inside this area?
Nothing.
In this in the summer, he sleep there.
When it's hot, he sleep outside.
When he have some guests, he let them
in.
The opposite from the entrance to the mastiff,
the opposite side, so when you come you
don't see it.
A door
that let you go to Bayt ibn Nabi's
sallam.
Have 4
sides
and it has what? A cover,
like a roof on the top of it.
If it has a roof,
that means it is abate.
What mean min al bayat. That's where the
family sleep because it is protected for our
for a for privacy.
Okay? Now can you send my bait?
So what's this bait looks like?
The bottom of it
made of
hijara,
big pieces of rocks.
Why?
So when the rain comes
and hit the rocks, it will spot it
stop it. And the top of the rocks,
like you talk about maybe 2 feet or
some one and a half, 2 feet of
rocks. Then on the top of that will
be what?
Like clays.
Okay. And in that clay mix with
some sticks,
branches from the trees, you know, and the
palm tree, and it go all the way
up
until
the roof comes. What's the roof made of?
The roof made of the branches of the
trees,
the palm trees branches
covered
completely. Why do you have the rocks on
this? Because if it's the clay and the
water comes, it will what? Melt. So the
foundation will not be strong to carry.
It has 2 doors. 1 to go to
that open area,
and one to go to the north of
the Masjid,
to open to the other side,
where he can access the rest of his
fame.
Inside this room, what's the size of it?
It is much bigger than the outside,
the open area.
It's about so the one, we said it's
about 9
to 9 feet and 7 feet. This one,
it's about
13 feet.
13 feet.
About 13, 13 and a half feet.
And the width is
9,
7a half. 7a half.
So it's a little bit bigger. What's inside
it?
Inside it, there is an area has shelves
and in this shelves
is
things that where he, she
you know, put her stuff. And so
some of her old toys,
and it has kiram.
It has a small little curtain covering it
and it has also another area, a corner
and it has a bed.
The people of Mecca are the one who
have something that's called bed. In Medina, they
don't know what's bed. That's why he built
his house.
Who has a bed? Who has a bed?
Who has a bed?
Has 1 and they brought it to the
prophet
What's the bed?
What's the Prophet's bed?
Will leave.
Nabi bed was a mattress
made of the skin of animals,
Okay. It could be cows, it could be
whatever, and
filled and basically stuffed with, you know, haze
and things of that nature.
A little bit thick where he can sleep
on it
Then what's inside this house?
We said a wahid, only one pillow, also
made of a skin of an animal, and
basically stuffed with haze and some
loof and and things of that nature.
Why?
When Ibn Abbas came to spend the night
with the prophet
imagine this is the pillow.
That's the pillow.
They share the side of it, and Ibn
Abbas share the side of the pillow.
That's it.
A very small, little, tiny
rug.
A rug.
They describe this rug
They describe this rug as an area where
the prophet put his hand and his feet.
They speak about
You think it's something any special, and that's
the size of it, just a small, like
the kids, you know, carpet we have today.
And it has an area where they can
put a fire to cook in it, you
know, like,
to cook in it,
bread
or something of that nature, you know to
bake. In the old days they have like
Clay oven? Okay.
Clay oven. Yeah.
So a small little one but abandoned and
he barely can use.
1 cup.
1 pot
made of rock or clay.
That's it.
You ask the what about the light? What
kind of flight did they use?
What what's the what's the light the candle
made of in that time?
Oil.
They put, you know,
a They will put,
like a thread or like
a
Wake? Wake. Yeah.
You you know, the same thing, like, made
of cotton or something like that, the same
thing that we do in the candle, and
you put oil on it, then you've light
it
up. Actually, she was asked. She said, hey,
if we have oil, we would eat in
it, not use it for light.
We would use it for food.
There is no light in the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam house. That's why you find
the hadith, the
I wake up and I don't know where
to go.
And I will look around and touch at
the hassas.
She couldn't see. There is nothing to light
up.
They only use the light of the moon
if there is light from the moon.
The area where he prayed
so small
She will basically come together and bend her
her her legs so the prophet have a
space to make sujood.
How high
the roof.
I reached the age of of puberty when
he's young teenager boy.
He said if I put my hand up
like that, I'll touch the roof of the
prophet
build this house in the 1st year of
hijra.
Do you remember your first apartment in Houston,
Victoria?
Yeah. Whatever you come when I came to
America.
You remember where do you live the first
house, especially the older among us. The first
place you lived in.
1st year.
Build us in 1 hijrah.
And it's the exact same date, the exact
same house he died
in it.
Not a single home improvement.
Not a single expansion.
When he saw a Muslima one day, she
start
putting extra,
you know, clay and be I need making
it a little bit fancier and fancier.
It is faster than this.
Has life changed.
I understand he did this in the 1st
year of hijrah because there is no wealth,
no money, nothing, no access.
At least, at least
until today it's exist, until today. That show
you how, you know, a solid,
you know, structure that was.
The castle of Skab Nur Eshla
and his palace, big, huge.
He didn't say, you know what?
To anyone of Al Ansar, let me have
your house or let me take another house
or to move out. No.
To make an improvement. No.
He lived like that all his life.
Lived in these houses while his heart attached
to attached to the
in his dream, he entered
with Jibreel and
He looked at the ground, and he was
amazed by how it looks like.
He he hit it,
and all of a sudden, the dust was
not a dust, was a musk.
And it looks like pearls. So when he
hit it, it's like a musk came out.
There is no dust.
No need for him in in in Jannah.
Allergy doctors.
Okay. So you know, there is no dust.
What's this?
The Zafaran and the mosque is the sand
and the ground,
and the gravel of it is the pearls.
Who who will occupy this place?
This is for the
I saw a big crowd way up there.
Muhammad.
That's your place. That's your home.
Both reply immediately.
They both reply immediately. You
enter it when you die.
You can't enter it right now. When you
die, you enter it. Sallallahu Alaihi Wasall.
He lived
over there.
Attached them.
What I want to comment on it.
Am I asking you to go back and
to give up your,
500,000
house and to give up your home? No.
And the one who understood Islam the most
did not understand from this lifestyle of
the Prophet that they have to make the
same lifestyle.
That's why Uthman
Rumah 1 house, his house
was as big as Aisha's house and maybe
multiple ones.
Has considered it a palace comparing to
what
The top of the companions, all of them,
their homes bigger, much much bigger.
What's the point that I'm trying to make?
Why are we saying this? Why this was
reported?
To understand that
has no greed or hope in anything to
be rewarded for it in this du'iyah. He
want his reward completely in the akhira.
2, it give us an inspiration.
So you know what? If you feel that
you couldn't make any improvement or you missed
something or you don't have much of the
dunyaqinna
1000000 times and he did not have what
you're crying over, not even 1% of what
you're crying over.
Nabi
if he was rich, the poor will not
relate to him.
But because of his lifestyle, the rich and
the poor relate to him
And if he was rich
If he was rich, he will be busy
with his business and money.
Could
I mean, the best thing could have been
to Iblis to have a business.
We will be all be guided.
If the sheikhan have a business, we'll be
all guided.
You know why? Because he will be busy
with his business and leave us alone.
When you have a business, you're completely occupied.
It take your own time. So anyway,
does all Allah want him for that?
It's so clear that his dua is
not There is no reward for it. He
didn't make money from his dua.
He carried the deen, not the deen carrying
him. And
many other reasons, the prophet said why the
prophet lifestyle was like that.
But hadidul al Suntaqi salallahu alaihi wasallam how
truthful he is how committed he is salallahu
alaihi wasallam So I hope that with all
the luxury that we have, for all the
blessing that we have, let's show a little
bit
more commitment to the deen,
more commitment and appreciation of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala blessing upon us, more commitment to the
Ibada, more can this convenience that we have.
It should inspire us to do and to
be committed to the worship of Allah and
to be more grateful to him. I don't
wanna make it too long, Basyani. It is
something that would make you a little bit
imagine and to compare
how the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam lived
his life and what kind of lifestyle he
has, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. And how much patient his wives
and his family member
had to accept and to live this kind
of life with him, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
