time that we spent together in four separate sections in sha Allah over the next two hours with this
special for hija will be one that is both educational, relevant, contemporary and practical for you
		

			things that you can take and immediately implement into your life and extend them past the month of
the ledger in sha Allah. May these be lifelong changes that we make in ourselves on account of our
seeking quarterback near miss to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah. We begin with sending our salah and
Salaam upon the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with what is known as a salah and
Ibrahim iya ADO the Sharif Allahumma salli ala Mohammed Mohammed camisa later, Brahim while early
Ibrahim Allahumma barik Mohammed Ali Mohammed camera Baraka Allah Ibrahim wider le Ibrahim phenol
Amina in NACA habito Majeed, Allah Ameen. Did you notice that I did not just send prayers and peace
		

			and salutations and benedictions upon our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the last of
the messengers say you will have the best and the master of humanity, but I also included the name
of Ibrahim or a bra ham in a different way citation and different pronounciation of the Quran.
Ibrahim alayhis salam is a central figure in Islam. He is referred to as MBR, the father of the
Prophet, because from him spreads the lineage of both his hop, who is the child of Ibrahim from his
wife sawed off and of course, his firstborn child, the great ancestral grandfather of Prophet
Muhammad, as I said, that is my aim. Now both of them are the children
		

			Ibrahim and many prophets have come from the lineage of Ibrahim it is sent out as an honor of Allah
to his home to his family. And therefore it becomes important for us to reflect why the name
Ibrahim, from all of the other messengers all of the other prophets is highlighted in our so that
keep and pay attention to the fact that no official prayer that you will make whether an obligatory
prayer, I do not as a prayer, prayer, a prayer that you bow your head or not janaza we don't make
sujood we don't make gurukula but yet we cannot fulfill any seller. Any prayer without making
mention of special prayers for our inevitable hundreds I sell the end. Ibrahim alayhis salam in
		

			Ibrahima candle. Ibrahim is the nature peace and blessings be upon Ibrahim alayhis salaam wa. And he
was off be here er open the Mean while and Amina Mohammed zigged whatever water football Yeah,
economic Academy, our Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salaam is unlike other messengers of Allah, He is
specifically mentioned by Allah subhanho wa Taala. And in very momentous important point, two main
central figures were given as examples to the prophets of Allah when he was a limp to replicate and
to match their spirit and their teachings in faith, to teach the way they taught. One example was
Intel heed what it means to single out a law alone and oneness what it means to be totally
		

			concentrating your effort with the Creator of the heavens and the earth, what it means to face the
persecution, the hardship that will come when you call to good and others rejected what it means to
free your heart of any love of any hope of any fear of anything in a way that you'd only be given to
Allah subhanho wa Taala. The example that's given to the property seller is Ibrahim and Allah says
in the Quran, and when mejor Rosa miletti, Ibrahima 11, Sophia and upset no one departs from the
path of Ibrahim, no one departs from the way of life of Abraham, except one who has fooled and
beguiled himself and others before God. Equally, the second central figure is mu Sally so that Moses
		

			Moshe, Alia set up Musashi his Salaam is the one who is given as an example of how to provide an
example in that using the laws of Allah. So Ibrahim is central in the faith, and what it means to be
a believer and how we implement our time here. And Musa alayhis salam is the central figure of what
it means to be the law giver and distributor of the law to the people who will follow you how to
lead them upon a path of righteousness, to establish what is halal to condemn what is haram to
prohibit what is evil and to call people to that which is righteous. Now, as you're listening to me
if you do have a question, feel free to call eight we will be treating these sessions as an Islamic
		

			q&a as you are being accustomed to feel free to call in and chat log We will do our best to take
your calls. Be evening lahaie to Allah.
		

			Evil, Ibrahim alayhis salaam is that central finger and Mousavi SLM is that central finger. All of
us know that these blessings 10 days of the hedgehog relate in one way or another to Ibrahim but I
want you to know they are not just for Ibrahim, but they are also for Moosa and for ease and other
prophets and messengers. A simple example is Allah says it to us in the order and while I move that
I made a covenant and a promise to Moses that bring out of your host send an email on July 17 men to
come and commune and to receive the instructions from Allah. And Allah says for 30 days that they
were commanded to ascend to the tune of saying that those 30 days is the month that just pass
		

			declare that and then Allah says, We're at the moon now happy ash, then I favored them with the 10
blessing date. What are those day them faceting tell us they are the days of the hedger did musante
SLM perform hunch, as is from his ancestral forefather Ibrahim, and the answer is yes. Musa alayhis
salaam married from the great great grandchildren of this marine he married so for our their loved
one, who was from the outcrop who were from the people of Indian tour of the nomadic tribes of
Arabia that would make Hajj In fact, in total, tell us Allah subhanho wa Taala says that the dowry
that moves have promised to pay to the father of saputo, the Allahu Allah and that Judah need to
		

			match the aged that you are to fulfill work with me in my tribe in my people for eight had cycles
Allahu Akbar Moses
		

			SLM, we know we make a lot right for you. I had you that you can pray a magical hive in Mina in
Minna la in Mina, the prophets I sell and prayed in a particular place. And he said so left he had
that said Boone and Avi 70 prophets prayed in this spot, woman who moves to sell them and have them
was Moosa following in the footsteps of Ibrahim. So Musa alayhis salam is significant in these
times, but no one from the prophets and messengers, after I went to be, as I said, Love is more
central than Ibrahim and izmail. In this in this particular spirit of Hajj that we are going to
commemorate and I wanted in sha Allah. To make my focus in the first two sessions that we have
		

			before we will be interrupted by Sultan live from Mecca and mocha Roma in about 20 minutes in sha
Allah. We will have a break and intermission and then we will continue with our discussion. I wanted
to take a central focus of learning five important lessons that we can use today that will benefit
our community, both for us as individuals, as families, as members of our membership community and
the broader community where we may live, whether in London or Australia, whether Canada or in Egypt,
this these are central values that we take from the relationship of Ibrahim alayhis salam in his
journey with his relationship with Allah. Remember that Allah says what that's all the love who
		

			Ibrahim Mahalia, Allah took in friendship, Ibrahim alayhis salam, as a colleague, one who became
intimate with God, so loved by Allah that there was no separating between them. May Allah make us of
those who attained a level of intimacy with our families and our community with the messaging and
that connects us to Allah in lightwaves. May Allah subhana wa Taala elevate us to the status of
those who followed the footsteps of Ibrahim Ali is set up. Let's take the first of five points in
July, we're going to study 5.5 attributes of Ibrahim five characteristics of Ibrahim, five lessons
that we can take from Prophet Ibrahim and he has set up that can help us solve many of the problems
		

			that are facing us as Muslims in a young and old. First important point is to recognize that being a
minority is not always a detriment. And something that is a deficit something that is a problem. And
being a minority does not mean that you are not favored by God, having a minority status does not
mean that Allah has relinquished you, and that people who are larger in number who have a greater
gathering who are more popular, who are more celebrated, who are more famous, then the righteous
that they in, in fact have a greater place in society or in the sight and estimation of Allah.
		

			If we were to talk about Ibrahim Ali is set up in terms of numbers and cents. Ibrahim was a
minority, Ibrahim alayhis salaam at times was a numerical minority that Allah even speaks about him
and other prophets in the Quran. What by saying when I am an amount he Luckily, very few people
accepted Ibrahim Alia set up you could count them on your hand in certain moments of his life in
sometimes it was just himself and his wife, who were upon the truth sometimes himself and his wife
and his nephew, Luke and his salad. Very few people came to accept the faith from Ibrahim, although
he was a color to toe he par excellence in a way that none I after him achieved in its completeness,
		

			except I will never be Mohammed Salah usnm Allah tells us in Surah verse 120, in that Ibrahima, kind
of oma Ibrahim on his own, but as one individual was a whole nation was a whole nation. He was a
nation of faith in his heart and nation of faith in his commitment, a nation of faith in his ability
to be patient and have Sabra in the face of atrocities. A person who was a nation in terms of his
calling people to the truth. The great mountains of atlas shrugged and they will teach us this
important lesson and tell Gemma I will input the way you are a Gemini You are the whole nation,
you're a whole group, even if you are on your own. If what you're holding on to the truth. Sometimes
		

			we may look around us and feel a sense of victim mentality that we look around us and we see you
know people dressing in a way that we don't find find acceptable by
		

			Under standards as Muslims, that we dignify ourselves, we seek a conservative habit of clothing in a
way that we believe as Muslims internally within us dignifies us in the presence of God in the sight
of people. But if you were to look around us in certain moments in society and certain places,
including Muslim populated countries, sometimes you will see that those who are conservative or
addressed in their a job or seeking to, you know, be pleasing to Allah in how they present
themselves to others. Sometimes they may assume that they are a minority, and that is not strange,
the profits on the lower end he was said,
		

			better Islam, Islam wherever and whenever, not just in the time of the prophet in any time in any
place. Whenever Islam begins to take hold, it's always seen as being something distinct, something
different, something distinct from what everybody else is doing with the same as everybody else. We
want the same things in everybody else, but we are distinct we are we hold ourselves to a higher
level and that's what it's supposed to be man, Allah forgive us, y'all know
		

			what they are, oh, to combat that, and Islam shall return to having that in strange mint and
distinction that people will look and say, Wow, they're the only ones doing this. They're the only
ones who keep these Hello laws. They're the only ones who go out of their way in their attire.
They're the only ones who seek to defend the name of the prophets and messengers, not just
individual habits are excellent. They're the ones who who care for things that other people now
ignore. They're the only ones who are cyclical in their prayer four or five times a day Munch alone,
Muslims five times a day, regularity. And so now they're the only one to part with their wealth. in
		

			large numbers hoping to go to perform Hajj May Allah open the path of minority status should never
let us feel that we are victims or to have a victim mentality. And we should never speak like a
victim. We should never act like a victim and we should never present ourselves as victims towards
other people. It is Allah subhana wa tada who dignified Ibrahim even as a minority as one, I no
doubt, our numerical minority status in certain times and in certain places, not in terms of how
many Muslims are in the world. But how many Muslims adhere to Islam in a way that is meaningful,
that becomes an important issue. You can be a numerical minority, but you can be a moral and ethical
		

			majority as an individual, by yourself. You can be a majority in terms of your ethics. And Ibrahim
Ali Salam never, ever treated himself as a victim, never saw himself as downtrodden, never saw
himself as defeated, never saw himself as one who was not equal to others or more. In fact, he would
look upon those who wanted to oppress him in a way of compassion towards him. One of the most
beautiful verses in the Koran is in sort of Ibrahim, a chapter that carries his name. And Ibrahim
alayhis salaam says, For many Tibet and he Oh Allah, Oh Allah, those who follow me to India who made
me count them as if they are with me. As you and I follow Ibrahim today, it is as if you are with
		

			him, You are his Sahabi even though you have not met him in this life, to know who Mindy they are
from me, woman Asami I know a lot of those who Depart from me, those who disobey me those who
contradict me work against me going oppression against me, women are slimy those who are you know,
seek to disobey me in angry you Oh Allah, for in Netcat and del Rahim, then you remain Allah
forgiving the merciful Subhan Allah.
		

			Look at Ibrahim alayhis salam, he's the one he's the minority. But it's as if he is a, you know,
looking down upon people who have turned away even though they earned majority, asking a lot to
forgive them, not to hold them accountable for their ignorance and for their trespass. The lesson
therefore, is that being a minority is not always bad.
		

			Being a minority builds resilience builds toughness builds, vigor, builds patience, builds endurance
and can lead you to greater heights and successes as you move forward in flight. In fact, if we look
through our history as Muslims, we will see that as Muslims, we did our best as a nation of Muslims
when we were in a state of minority, the Battle of bedroom was in a minority, the Battle of 100 was
in a minority, the Battle of
		

			those will have that in the Battle of power. The CEO was a minority never did the prophets I sell
them have a majority except that Allah tested him in it. And when there you are a minority you know,
Allah is the one who is second with you, always with you and man
		

			And a lot that Allah has always managed as a province I sell him when he was a minority in the cave
with just a pullback, surrounded by the people and that combatants of Malaysia as they wanted to
murder him and take his life. And he says all messenger of Allah, if they were to look beneath their
feet, if they were just to look into the cable thought that Oh no, they would see us. Nonprofits I
sell them said, have no sorrow, have no fear. How can you fear for those two of us, when Allah is
the third with us, Allah always sees us always hears us always has power over our situation. So the
Prophet himself praised those who were minority praise, those who were distinct praise those who at
		

			times had to endure to be of those who were successful. Allah Subhana Allah says in the Latina as
your mo can Amina Latina M. And we have heard, you will notice regularly that those who have a
criminality that they will just and make fun of and belittle and ridicule the believers. Those who
believe way their mother will be hibiya Tovar, Masood, and as the believers walk in peaceful way
from a distance, you will see that they will be accosted by those who lacking faith. Man Lawson
kinda went to Allah protect us for this alone. And therefore as Muslims, it becomes important for us
to embrace our strength, even when we are seemingly numerically small in number, unable to fend for
		

			ourselves as it may seem, that our faith will always see us through those who follow the popular
standard. Those who seek populism. Those who seek celebratory statuses, those who see infamy and
fame, at the expense of their alcohol seeking something fleeting in the dunya are never those who
will be successful. There will be no one who is popular agenda, please Lana hula, when he's in
Jannah, he will not be seen as a celebrated status, although he will have millions of followers who
he has beguiled and and deceived, that they have made the bad choices to lead him to follow in that
negative path towards their own self destruction. May Allah protect you will learn from it along
		

			with me. And therefore the path of Ibrahim is the path of the prophets of Allah who walked at times
alone. The prophets I send him says and I co chair this from the Hadith and siphon Mohali, from the
statement of Abu say the laundry that he said that the Prophet described the Day of Judgment, and
even the Prophet said that on the Day of Judgment, there will be one prophet who will cross the
Sirat and I will cross with my own well we will be the largest nation the largest number of people.
		

			And then after as there will be another large nation and they will be moved so they will be a large
nation of people. And after the more and more and more until there comes one prophet with nobody
with May Allah except from you and I joined me after this intermot break in sha Allah where we will
continue with lessons from the life of of Brahim was sent out one on ecomondo to LA he was a
character with your brother. Yeah. Hey Brian.
		

			I'm on my bed account.
