Yasir Qadhi – Lives Of The Sahaba 16 – Umar b. al-Khattab – PT 05

Yasir Qadhi

In this enlightening talk, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi attempts to unfold the conquest of the Persian (Sassanid) Empire which had reached the pinnacle of success during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and the battle of Qadisiyah that took place in Sha’ban 15 AH, 636.

The interesting details about the conquest are a direct premonition of sorts by the Prophet ﷺ much before the actual event occurred via various hadith which are elaborated in great detail in the talk by the Shaykh.

Start watching the video to acquaint yourself with this conquest of conquests which marked the almost unimaginable and unbelievable victory of the Muslims and also set a precedent for future battles to come.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:29
			Milan hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah who Allah Allah, he was so happy when Rama bad,
who can remember we did last week are we doing last week
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			the conquest of Egypt and,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:23
			and Jerusalem and the Damascus beloved a sham. So we did all of that last week. inshallah with Allah
Today we will begin the story of the conquest of the conquest of the sassanid Empire or the Persian
Empire. And, again, we get back to the issue of sources and the issue of details. And when you look
at the Arab and Muslim side of the events, the historians, they of course, they have their important
timeline, they have the details of quote unquote, our side. However, our sources don't have anything
that was going on on the other side. And what we have now in our times is that actually a lot of
modern scholarship has been done, trying to look at the events from the other side's perspective,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:06
			and what's going on from the side of the the Persians or the sassanids. And I think that's very
fascinating that we're now able to see what's happening on the other side of things. Now, what is
the sassanid Empire, the assassin Empire is the more proper name for the Persian Empire. And it is
the last of the great pre Islamic Iranian empires. And the assassin is ruled from around 220 to
around 651. c, and before the assassinated was the ancient parthian empire of Iran. So these are the
two main empires that every world knowledgeable person should be familiar with the parthian, the
ancient Egyptians, the ancient Iranians, and then you have the sassanids and the sassanids
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:52
			controlled at their peak at their Zenith, they controlled pretty much most of the modern Middle
East, the countries today would be Iran, Iraq, the entire strip of Eastern Arabia. So this includes
beheading Qatar, Oman, Yemen, they actually the assassin Empire actually controlled the entire strip
of Southern Arabia and Eastern Arabia. And the times they even conquered Villa de Sham, so multiple
times in their history. The assassin is were ruling over Jerusalem and Damascus. And that also goes
back to the issue that the hood were allowed to come back to the Holy Land to Jerusalem during the
reign of the sassanids. Because the sassiness were of what religion we should all know. They were
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			what religion
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:32
			there were fire worshippers or the Zoroastrians, okay. So they were Medusa, Zoroastrians. And so
they, by and large, were very sympathetic to other faiths compared to the Christians, they didn't
really have a major problem with the hood. And in fact, they were closer to the who than the
Christians were. So this the, the Persians actually allowed the Yahoo to come and rebuild the
temple, to come and be worshipping in the Holy Land again, and so the sassanids We're at war as we
know with the Byzantine, we know this from the Quran Alif Lam Meem, holy battle room for a woman by
the Halevy himself alone. So there was this constant struggle between the Byzantine or the Roman
		
00:03:32 --> 00:04:23
			Empire and the sassanid Empire. And the sassanids were absolute rivals in every sense of the term to
the Roman Empire. They had an equally powerful civilization, with its own literature, its own
religion, its own economy, its own coinage, its own art, its own poetry, it's completely rivaling,
there's really no overlap. As we said, the language differs, the religion differs. So each one of
them wants to be the one dominant force in the world. And one thing that we as Muslims don't quite
appreciate or understand, the sassanid Empire reached its utmost Zenith, in the lifetime of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it was its most powerful in around 620 BCE. Now, this is
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			absolutely amazing, because why?
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:41
			Why is this amazing shows the ad, this stage when even the Byzantine Empire is defeated, and it
appears that the sassanids are going to basically take over the world.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:59
			The prophecies from the Quran and the prophets Islam predict that the tide is going to change. Not
just that, but in fact, the Persian Empire will no longer be and in the lifetime of the process of
them, the Emperor hosts
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:43
			The Emperor hospital actually achieved some of the greatest victories ever against the Byzantine
empire that the sassanids had ever seen. And this is the reference in early mcca. So hospital rule
for a don't quote me brown 3035 years was a long Emperor euro for a long time. And the sasanian
Empire reached its Zenit under hospital, the same one whom Allah azza wa jal references indirectly,
holy butter Rome, who defeated the Romans, this hospital guy, okay, so the Romans were defeated by
the army and under the leadership of hospital and hospital was considered to be really the the the
last of the great kings because after him helaas immediate decline immediately after his death, this
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:52
			was completely unpredictable. And this is the whole point of the predictions of our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And of course,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:38
			as we talked about in last week, as well, the in the quick change, the quick success, the quick
demise of the sassanid Empire, and the success of the Muslims still remains an issue of great
controversy and interest in modern historians. Because the fact of the matter is, it is inexplicable
is very difficult to understand. Imagine a mighty Empire, literally within less than a decade. It is
500 years old, 450 years old, and it reaches its utmost power. In the time of the process of the
conquered Damascus, can you believe the sassanids conquered Damascus, they're already now in
Baghdad, the Sham, they're think they're going to take over the rest of the Byzantine Empire. And lo
		
00:06:38 --> 00:07:20
			and behold, in less than 10 years, call us the entire Empire is destroyed. So these are obviously
very big questions for every historian. And as I mentioned last week, modern historians have a long
list of why this happened. And all of these reasons, we don't have any problem believing them. But
we say who caused these reasons to take place? Okay, we have no problem saying yes, this was also a
key issue. This was also an issue. But it's not just coincidence that all of these instances happen
to coincide, the very Eve that the process of the Sahaba are going to invade, and all of these
issues come together. And the main reason that is very clear now, when we look at the other side,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:59
			what's happening inside, because our historians did not know what's happening inside that much.
Okay, if you look at the poverty, you look at when you look at our historians, there's just vague
references to what's happening. But now modern historians, they have access to Persian historians
assassinated historians, they have access to historians of other civilizations that we can learn
much more from about what's going on. So in a nutshell, I'm not going to go into that detail.
Neither am I that interested. But in a nutshell, the primary cause that is blamed was that the extra
power of Clozaril made his family and generals extra greedy.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:40
			And they all were plotting and planning to carve up or at least get the biggest share of the pie,
even in his lifetime, and this is the problem of extra wealth and extra power. Okay. And we all are
familiar with this, that if somebody becomes very, very rich and they were mediocre average who
becomes his worst enemies, his friends and his cousins and his family because all of a sudden all of
this wealth is coming in. So in essence This is what's happening with hospital is that all of this
success is making his own and he had over a dozen children. By the way hospital, it is said that he
had a harem of how many guests?
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:49
			Masha Allah Mohammed had Mashallah, Mashallah, how many guests 118.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			Close 3000 martial is watercolor.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			So all right, come down to similar
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:43
			3000 he had 3000, Mashallah to watercolor. All the guys need some time to let that sink in. Okay. So
the point being that he was very wealthy, very powerful of the mightiest of all of the of the
assassinated Emperor. So what's going to happen when he has all of these military conquests, and
then he has all of these sons, what's going to happen? You tell me, the very sons that he's so proud
of the very children, the very army generals that he's promoted, they're all salivating to get a
piece of the pie. And political intrigues begin, even at this point in time, okay, they already
start wondering what's going to happen, who's going to take charge, etc, etc. So already there was
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:59
			disunity, tacos, civil war, and things got from bad to worse, basically, immediately after his
death, and we'll talk a little bit about that. And remember, it was who threw himself whom the
process and corresponded with the same this one, it was who threw himself whom the profits a little
less
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:42
			I'm corresponded with, and we all know that his role was the most. And you can tell his massage his
character that you know, in any type of diplomacy, you just have to retain some dignity. Right?
Doesn't matter. It's just what politicians do. It's what diplomats do, you retain some dignity, but
horse roll you can see his his Jani, the type of Jabbar machaca type of personality, that when the
letter of the processor comes, what does he do? He literally tears it up. And we all know the
greatest sin in the eyes of Allah is killer. And when you have given against Allah and His
Messenger, what's going to happen? And this is a big sign and a big lesson for us about the dangers
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:16
			of Cuba, the dangers of arrogance, that also demonstrated his kibber against the messenger. And
anybody who is arrogant against the messenger is arrogant against a lot. And so what did our process
them say? And again, we do not it's so easy for us to read these ahaadeeth the sassanid Empire was
at its most powerful when our processing them said this. Imagine the mighty civilization that you
cannot see the end of and somebody comes and says hello, as the system is gonna go, nobody's gonna
believe you. But what did our process that I'm saying?
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:57
			He tore up my letter, Allah will tear his kingdom up, Kula mama Zack every single witch and every
way, and will lie This is exactly what happened. After the death of the prophet SAW Selim, and
during their Enterobacter, Omar, all of these governors and mini princes, they're all literally
fighting in these mini provinces, like the processor predicted mazon kulambu Masak, literally into
little pieces, like he toward the letter of the Prophet salallahu. It he was sent him up, and nobody
could have ever understood or predicted, but this is the response. And this is the end result of
kibin. And by the way, so little bit of rehash, we talked about this in the Sierra. And of course,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:10
			all of you must remember exactly what happened. But just because maybe there's one or two that
weren't there that day, for their sake and shallow data we can repeat to the story. Even though of
course, all of you know the story that when heraclius got the letter,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:59
			not directly this one, kiss Robin Hood, sort of history is his name, he starts his title. So whose
role is the the the name, so when he got the letter, he then commanded his, his vessel, his
governor, in Yemen, whose name was by then by then so there was a portion of Yemen, the eastern
portion that was under Persian control, okay, the eastern portion of Yemen was under Persian
control. So he ordered by van to go send two spies to Medina remember the story vaguely, he ordered
by them to go send two spies to Medina with some fake letter, it is even rumored they might have
been assassins, or, more likely that they were scouts to see how much of an army is needed to go and
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:28
			bring. And so the goal was for the law, to bring the process in him as a prisoner to to holster
himself just like the airman the utmost keeper of this man. So the point of these two spies was to
scout out to see what would happen and they came under the guise of diplomats. Okay. To this day,
the CIA works under diplomatic passports wherever they go, this is the reality they pretend to be
diplomats and they go so as well here, these spies want under diplomats that we have a letter from
Batman,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:43
			whose role was to arrogant even to respond close rows to arrogant even to respond to the letter. So
he tell us by then send these two and see what you find out about this man. And who remembers this
story? What happened to these two men?
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:45
			Now I'm quizzing you.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			Good.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:34
			Good. Exactly. So those two, those two emissaries came, and the process them did not even open the
letter. He said, Come back tomorrow, dinner you open because he knew this is a fake letter. They're
not it's not a serious letter is just a a ruse and a trick to get information. So he didn't even
open letter. He said, Come back to them tomorrow. Come back to me tomorrow. So they came back
tomorrow morning. And the profitsystem said, Go back to your master and tell him that my lord has
killed his Lord.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:59
			And the two emissaries were shocked completely, because the reference is very clear here that the
Lord of their master is kisara clear. Their master is done. And the Lord of Babylon is because the
rock is rock khosrow so they're shocked. They come back to Batman. And of course by this time by
then also knows that who's wrong
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			has been killed.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:38
			And the very same day that the process I've said to them that tell go back and tell you a lot was
the day hospital died. And this resulted in the conversion of Batman to Islam. By then the governor
became Muslim. And that whole region automatically entered under Islam SubhanAllah. Right, one
simple statement, and by then cut off from Israel, and entered into Islam, and this is the beginning
of mazon kulambu Masak. This is the beginning of cutting up the Empire into all of these different
principalities, and
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:20
			horizontal and his name was awkward with opera with and from this we bases that are part of his
name, but it's opposite of his was his name. And it means to conquer. operatories means to conquer.
Hospital, in fact, he died a very tragic death. And this is exactly what is expected of somebody who
shows kibitz to Allah and His messenger is exactly what is expected that after one of these major
battles and accomplishments, and he himself was guilty of trying to get rid of some of his own sons,
I mean, will lie This is so evil, that this is the reality of Emperor's. Sadly, even some of our own
emperors have done the same thing. Well, along with Stan it throughout history, especially during
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:49
			the later times this was unfortunately also reality, but under time is much more common. So he has
all of these sons and the wives that are the slave, the slave girls that he that have his ear, the
ones that basically have control over him are whispering into his ear to kill the other sons. And in
the end of the day, he has to make a decision. So he decided against one particular son, that this
one's going to die. So happened long story short, make a long story short, that particular son did
not die.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:00
			His name was covered, he did not die. And he managed to escape comfrey he comes back at the height
of an army and he attacks his own father, the Emperor
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			and imprisons his own father hospital.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:33
			And then istockphoto law he tortures his own father to death, a cruel death. It is said that he
ordered one of the his men to throw arrows one by one into his father who is tied up just literally
like playing soccer, although this is the reality of so Allah punished him in this world before the
law of punishment, this will be for 100 that was the same day that the processor said go back and
tell your Lord that my lord has killed his Lord. Okay, this was the the end of
		
00:17:34 --> 00:18:19
			hospital. And then of course, I mean, after hospital, a series of Kings took over literally in the
course of a year and a half. Around 12 emperors came one after the other or leaders or generals
already you see the Civil War happening. Okay. Can you imagine after this mighty man who has ruled
for three and a half or four decades, and he's conquered most of basically Iraq and Iran and and
much of the Middle East and Damascus. Now as soon as he dies, what's happening within the span of a
year or two, one after another some rule for 40 days some rule for three months some rule for a
year, eventually, of course, that was the end of the sassanid Empire. And in the lifetime of the
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:56
			Prophet salallahu idea he was setting them like the seventh or eighth one. So within the success
this is all happening. While the process was in Medina, this all happened in the course of two
years, as we said around 12 rulers, some of them from the royal family, and some of them were
generals were trying to make coutaz and each one one another after another. So you already see the
beginning of the end, okay? Allah azza wa jal cottard is taking place you already see the beginning
of the end, until finally, all of the sons have been killed or died off. And so some bunch of
generals come together, and they put on the throne, one of the doctors of hospital and her name was
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:04
			put on Toronto. And of course, that means daughter, or girl, so put on was renamed put on, they put
put on just on.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:15
			And this was the famous, or this was the cause of the famous Hadith, which is inside Bahati, which
is the very controversial Hadith in our time, because of
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:57
			the trends and changes in society. They find this hadith problematic land use Coleman, Coleman well,
lo mo amerihome imra that never will a nation succeed, who place a woman under their care or who
place their care basically in the hands of a woman who had his own body. Now, the Hadeeth is very
much controversial in our times because it's deemed to be a headache that is not suitable for the
massage of modern people. It isn't, it's a headache that we accept. But truth be told, and you know
that I am not in the least sense of the term progressive. Nonetheless, truth be told there is an
alternative there are two interpretations that headed after just comment you and it's not a detailed
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			explanation of this Howdy. There are two interpretation
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:41
			To go back to early Islam so this isn't some modernist twist that you're trying to force the Hadees
to conform to modern sensibilities, the first interpretation which is very clear that a woman should
not be in charge. This is very explicit from the Hadith. Then you feel how common one low amerihome,
Imola, okay? No nation, that places a woman at its head, as its leader shall ever be successful. So,
this is one interpretation, but there is another interpretation, and it is also classical and it
even has yet himself mentioned this. So, this is not some progressive interpretation, that that is
trying to distort the body it is found in classical literature, and it is a possibility is
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:58
			plausible. And that is that the Prophet system was not giving an AMA, he was stating a hover, he
wasn't giving a command, he was making a prediction about that particular civilization.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:17
			And therefore, it should not be translated as any nation that places a woman at its head shall not
be successful. But rather, this particular nation that has now placed a woman as its head shall not
be successful ever.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:58
			Okay, you see the big difference between the two. So the one is the among the other is the hover and
linguistically they're both allowed. It's not as if it's a stretch, and therefore it's just an
interesting twist to add over here, because the Hadith does bring about some issues about women
leadership and whatnot and we should be fair to our tradition and say that this Hadith, yes, it has
been interpreted in manner a, but it has also been interpreted in manner B. And therefore it is
something that is found in our tradition. In any case, this hadith was said when, when put on dope
became the Emperor. And immediately after her, basically one or two other Emperor's came until
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:40
			finally, the final one was one of the grandchildren of Cicero, he has the job, the third, he has the
job, the third was the final emperor of the of the sassanid Empire. And of course, as already
mentioned, the prophet system had already predicted the end of the sassanids in multiple ahaadeeth.
In fact, it is pretty much Muto watches, that in his lifetime, he is predicting the end of the
sassanid Empire. Of course, we already mentioned a number of these traditions of them, Allah will
tear their kingdom up. The way that he tore my lecture up of them is the highlight of body if we
take it as a harbor and not an armor, and in either circumstance, he is saying this nation is gone.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:52
			Then you flee home and welcome, Mr. O'Mara. This nation is gone. Have them one. What other occasion?
Did you predict the end of the of the Persian Empire? Who else can tell me from this era?
		
00:22:55 --> 00:23:46
			not okay. Hoo, hoo, hoo hoo, ha Soraka, Eben Malik, the story of sudo, aka a bin Malik. Now, when
our processing them said this howdy to Soraka This is at the pinnacle of horserace power, right? And
the Profit System in the entire Sierra, one can say, one of the most dangerous times is right now,
all alone for Sahara in the middle of the desert, he does not even have weapons to defend himself.
And Soraka one of the chieftains and leaders of his tribe has spotted him. And all Soraka needs to
do is to get some help. And hello as they are surrounded. Literally, this is one of the most tense
situations in the serum. And we all know what happened three times so rockers horse trips, he falls
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:54
			over three times falls over until finally he promises goes, Okay, I promise. Let me just speak to
you. I'm not gonna I'm not going to harm you, and
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:06
			so on. Soraka spoke to the processor and the processor said, What will your situation be? Oh, Soraka
when you wear the bracelets of kisara?
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:34
			How would you imagine yourself? What is the situation when you will wear the bracelets of kisser ah.
Now literally imagine the Prophet system without any money, weaponry, nothing. He's alone, all
alone. He is telling the one who was about to capture him. Don't worry, you're going to wear the
symbols of power to the most powerful man alive today. Imagine the scenario. Okay?
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			What if somebody said that you're going to be sitting in the Oval Office and the chair?
		
00:24:41 --> 00:25:00
			Like is just what do you want? Are you crazy? You're going to have that seat. You're going to be
sitting in that chair. What are you talking about? But this is in essence what the process of
missing to Soraka you're going to wear the bracelets of kisser and even Soraka said kisser affair
is. I mean, are you telling me I'm gonna wear this
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:47
			bracelets have kisser of the Persians. And he said yes kisara faddis. And we all know what happened.
Right now we're going to talk about today and next Wednesday, this is exactly what happened, that
when the capital of the Persians was conquered, and that capital is called test sifan in English,
and it is called muda in Arabic, and when medallion was captured, so all of the honeymoon was sent
to Medina. And in that and it was literally a pile. Literally a pile of gold and jewels in the
Prophet sisters Masjid, and or whatever the hot tub came, and he went through this pile, and he
pulled out the two bracelets of kisara. And he said, Where is Scirocco? Go call him. And Soraka was
		
00:25:47 --> 00:26:12
			brought, and Omar himself put the bracelets on kisara on Soraka, just to fulfill exactly what the
process would have said that one day will come when you will have the bracelets of kisara on your
own hands. And this is what we're talking about, basically today. So this is another prediction.
Another prediction. So we have right now already three predictions. And by the way, one could also
say maybe in the Quran, there's an indirect reference with
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:56
			indirect it's not explicit because Allah, Allah doesn't say the assassins will be destroyed. Allah
says that they shall be overcome in one battle, or the whole kingdom. The Quran is not clear in this
regard right? out of the womb being bad, the other by himself and a boon. The Romans after having
been defeated shall now be the victors and cause defeat. Okay, so who are they going to cause defeat
against the Persians? So one can say there's indirect but not explicit in the Quran. So we have
right now free, right, you all counting? We have right now three ahaadeeth, the fourth one, a fourth
Hadith that had eaten mustard Imam Ahmed, that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:57
			that
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:17
			let after hoonah Latif tahona Arabic is Surah rosalba, two min amati, left under the kisara sobre,
todo Mati a small group of my own a warriors of my alma will open up the land of kisara,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:28:00
			a small group of my oma and it was a small group, compared to the civilization of the sassanids,
which must have numbered in the millions. Because the sassanids are an entire civilization. The
number of Sahaba that came in is probably 30,000. And again, these numbers are simply astounding,
even for modern historians, especially for modern historians. How could 30,000 people destroy the
mighty civilization, and this is exactly what is mentioned in Muslim imams that a group of my Ummah,
is going to conquer the land of kisara. And there's a hadith in Timothy, there's a hadith in Timothy
that says,
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:09
			when this kisara dies, there shall be no kisser after him. And when this Caesar dies, there shall be
no Caesar after him.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:37
			By the one in whose hands is my soul, you shall spend of their wealth in the way of Allah meaning in
jihad, the very money that is now being used against you, you will spend it against them, this
hadith is in the middie. Now, this hadith is somewhat problematic, because the process of him said
that when this kisara dies, there shall be no kisser after him. And when this place or die, there
should be no Keiser after him. Why is that problematic?
		
00:28:39 --> 00:29:20
			There were more papers that came. And in fact, even case law as we just said, 14 came after his
death. Okay, well, the kisser one can easily be interpreted that these 14 they're all they're not
really in power. They're just end by title. Right? They have no actual. So one could say that, but
in fact, what do we do about the case of there's no Caesar after that Caesar but the Caesar is
lasted for for much longer. So in fact, Imam Shafi was asked this question, Mr. Misha fury was asked
this question, how do we understand this Hadith, in light of the fact that there were, I asked Sarah
there were Caesars after the Caesar of Rome, and Imam Shafi responded with a response that is
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:59
			considered to be the standard response, and that is that the context of the Hadith needs to be
understood that the Quraysh were worried that if they accepted Islam, their trade with Rome or with
not Rome, with Damascus, with Sham, and with Persia would come to an end, that they would become
boycotted by both civilizations because they have abandoned though they have joined the process and
they have abandoned ways of their forefathers. So Mr. Michel ferry said that the Profit System is
telling them that they no longer have to worry about the Caesar and the host
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:39
			For their trading routes, that their lands that they're worried about, will become in the lands of
Islam, ie, a sham, and forest and Iraq, they don't have to worry about kisara and Keiser after that,
they will now be a part of one civilization. This is the moment shaffir is interpretation. And that
is the standard interpretation that that people give. And then there's one final Hadeeth before we
actually get to the history of the battles that we're gonna talk about today about the predictions.
And there's one other famous incident that somebody should remember about the prediction of
conquering Persia. One other famous incident, all of you know where to when I say it, you're gonna
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:42
			say, Oh, I remember this one. Now. One other famous prediction.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:49
			The X, the x, the, the
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:50
			Battle of
		
00:30:52 --> 00:31:37
			the Battle of hunted up, what happened when the Sahaba were digging the trench, they came across a
big boulder, right, and the big boulder could not be broken. They didn't know what to do. And so
they call the prophets of Sodom, who went down himself into the trench. He took the axe from one of
the Sahaba. And he said, Bismillah, Allahu Akbar, and he hit the rock, and there was a big Spark.
And he said, Allahu Akbar. And he said, the first time that I have been given the keys to a sham,
and I see its reddish forts, fortresses even now. So the Sahaba said, Allahu Akbar, and one part of
the boulder broke away. Then the second time and this hadith is motivated by the Muslim, every book
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:51
			of Sierra ventures in the second time, he does it and he says, Allahu Akbar, I have been given the
keys to forest and even now I can see the white palaces of telephone medallion.
		
00:31:53 --> 00:32:19
			So he literally mentioned medallion by name. And by the way, obviously, we we believe this, but it
is so interesting. The Romans, their fortresses were typically more towards the reddish and delish
color. As I said, I see the reddish colors of their fortresses and the Persians, they love their
their whitish marbles. And to this day,
		
00:32:20 --> 00:33:02
			test Soufan is I think 35 kilometres south of Baghdad. Because again, Baghdad back there was under
assassinated rule, we divide both Iraq and Iran. But of course, those days, there's basically one
large civilization, and tests if one was around 35 kilometres, it still is, it still is the remnants
of some of those palaces, and they are the pictures there. These are World Heritage Sites, you can
google them, their pictures about them, beautiful beams just coming out of the middle of the desert,
and they are still white in color. And our processing has never been here. He's never been this far.
But the headache clearly says, I am seeing the white pillars of telefone, or the white castles have
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:45
			tested one of medallion, and they are white in color. And so the Sahaba said, Allahu Akbar, and then
he hit the third time, and which landed, he promised the third time, Yemen, Yemen, and he said
Allahu Akbar, I have been given the keys to Yemen. And even now I can see the gates of the city of
Santa. So now I can see it now. And Santa was the jewel and the capital of Arabian Yemen. And of
course, as well fell to the Muslims. So these are all predictions that we should be aware of, that
the Prophet system explicitly said that kisara will be the final kisoro that Allah will break his
kingdom up into all of these little mini dynasties. And that's it, and we'll finish up that the land
		
00:33:45 --> 00:34:29
			of the forest will be ruled by the Muslims. And that medallion in particular, he even mentioned it
by name, that medallion will be ours. And he even said the wealth of kisara will be spent FISA
beated law to finance other jihad. And that's exactly what happened when all of this wealth came.
What did he do with it? Did he build palaces? Of course not. He financed other conquests. So the
very money that was used by these mighty Emperor's was then used to spread the religion of Islam. So
let us quickly recap things that we've already done, the beginning of the conquest of the sassanids
began in the reign of obika. So when one of the chieftains who is now would now be considered to be
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:54
			somewhere in the body and type of region, his name was and within the inheritor, he was one of the
chieftains of that region, he accepted Islam. And without getting permission from obika, he started
to raid some of the sassanid villages. And he then came back to Obamacare, and explained to him that
I've done this and it's great success, but I need more people. I need more troops. So this is the
time of oculus dip. And so Albuquerque
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:59
			sent Khalid bin Walid, who had just come back from the battles of the Americas
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:45
			Sorry he had just finished the battles of Yama, the battles of what are your battles? Remember who
remind remind me was Salem Al Khattab so hard It has just finished Mozilla Malka devs battles. And
so, the profitsystem sends him so another buck or sorry a bucket sends him to go towards the
sassanids lands and start fighting the Persians. So I will bucker A Sudhir was the one who opened
the doors to the conquest of the sassanid Empire. And in the lifetime of the Ababa Casa de holiday,
Waleed achieved some amazing successes, he conquered the great city of head off, and also the city
of which is still today lamber he conquered a number and most of what is basically almost half or
		
00:35:45 --> 00:36:05
			three quarters of modernity at all. Okay, so what we now call it Iraq, at least the first three
quarters of it with the Arabian Peninsula that was conquered in the reign of a worker's deal. But
hardly even Waleed could not get to testify. He could not get to medallion that was beyond his scope
for now. And especially because what happened to Khalid
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:26
			he was called on the other side, Damascus and Jerusalem, he was called on the other side, to go and
fight in a sham. And so he dropped everything. And he took the bulk of the troops, and he made his
way all the way across, and the conquest continued over there. So what do you think the Persians are
going to do when Khalid has left,
		
00:36:28 --> 00:37:12
			recover. And that's exactly what they did. That's exactly what they did, when Khalid left and only
one third, or one fourth of the troops are left in Persia. So the Persians respond back with vigor.
And they reclaim much of what the Muslims had taken. So the Muslims ended up losing much of the
land, not all of it, they still have small strip, but much of the land, they ended up losing. And
there was in particular, one especially tragic battle, called the Battle of the bridge is called the
Battle of the bridge, or the, the Battle of the gist of the gist of the bridge. And that is because
quite literally, the Muslims were on one side of the Euphrates, Euphrates is the famous river of at
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:55
			all. And the Persians were on the other side, and obviously, there was a bridge in between them, and
negotiations began who's going to cross over. And most of the Muslims said, we should remain, so
that we have the higher ground and morality, let them cross over, not morality, morality, let them
cross over. And we should stay, but for some reason about obey the soccer field, their leader, he
said, No, we don't want to show that we're weak, we should cross over. So that a lot they decided to
cross over, which proved to be in hindsight and all of this audit of Allah, but it wasn't the way to
win the war. And the Persians basically viciously attacked, and the Muslims did not have a escape
		
00:37:55 --> 00:38:29
			route, even because the bridge was broken. So somebody even broke the bridge, there was no escape
route, and therefore over 4000 Muslims lost their lives, including a boy obeyed Sokka, who was the
leader, and this was also when the Persians not for the first time, but they showed the Muslims the
power of their elephants. So the Persians had mastered training elephants to be elephants of war. So
the elephants would actually attack and they would use their tusks and they would use their, their,
their, their,
		
00:38:30 --> 00:39:12
			their trunks to pick people up and throw them down. So the elephants had been trained to be weapons,
and the Muslims had did not have that type of experience. And so this battle of the juicer, and it
proved to be a bit of a disaster in this regard, but tell me Thunder made it out alive. Aveda was
killed, in fact, tragically, abort obeyed. Abort VEDA was a board of eight sorry, a board of eight a
subcommittee of obeyed was killed literally by an elephant, taking him off of his horse with the
trunk and smashing him down and then trampling over him. Like quite literally, can you imagine the
scenario and of course this is wreaking havoc in Muslim lions because they have never seen anything
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:53
			like this. They tried to go back the bridge has been cut, and it took them a while to get the bridge
back up. They had to somehow get the bridge back up. Then finally whoever is remaining retreated
over 4000 Muslims died in this one battle, the Battle of the Jisub and within a barely made it out
alive. He's gonna die in a few months because of the ones that before he dies. He sends a very
passionate letter to now Omar is in charge. And he says we need help. Or else Carlos we are gone.
Meaning iraq itself and everything is gone. And so within that sends a letter to our little hot top
and Omar decided to go himself he put on his armor is famously narrated that he went outside he's
		
00:39:53 --> 00:40:00
			gonna go and the Sahaba said you can do this. You cannot leave us here without a head. We need you
as the halifa you
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:48
			cannot become a Shaheed your two pressures for the oma. So they insisted that he sent another
person. And the decision was made to send sad event who costs one of the National wabasha. And
again, the point is realizes we need quality, not quantity. One of national Russia is precious.
Doesn't matter. He's one man, he is worth 1000 men. Okay, so he sends sided who costs and whatever
they can muster, because at this time, there's wars going on everywhere. So 4000 majority of them
are from the unsought because most of the Mahajan already in invalid a sham. So 4000 men are sent
what's Adam who costs and he gives commands to sad to go to particular tribes on the way to Persia,
		
00:40:48 --> 00:41:29
			and get reinforcements from those tribes. So even though they leave Medina with only 4000, by the
time they get to the Persian lands to assassinate lands, how many do they have? This is one of those
big problems that we have. Now these numbers are always inflated. They're inflated on both sides,
ie, depending on who you are and what you're seeing. nobody's doing a tally. Nobody has a registrar.
Nobody has a you know, list. And a headcount is just to guesstimation. And this is one of the big
problems that we have, and somebody will say stuff, what are you accusing him of lying? No, it's not
lying. It's human nature. If you're sympathetic to anything, and you want the number to be more, if
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:37
			I were to ask you estimate how many people in the room right now, let's say, Okay, if you want more
people to be the room, psychologically, you will see more people.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:42:09
			And if you don't want too many people to be in the room, you will see less people. Okay? classic
example. And they had the Million Man March recently, okay, if you're looking at Fox News, versus
you're looking at BDT network, for example, right, the numbers differences was like three times
difference three times, oh, there may be 100,000, or there's a 800,000. Like literally this type of
difference, it all goes back to perception knows about two. So unfortunately, nothing, it's nothing
about lying or something. But we cannot trust these numbers too much in any book,
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:50
			the Muslims automatically will want to make the enemy much larger, because they want in the end,
okay. And they might make their own little bit smaller, because they want to show that they so this
is one of the problems that and the other side viceversa as well. The one of the problems that we
have, in the Muslim books, it is said that the Persians were maybe 200,000. And this doesn't seem
realistic, because many reasons beyond the scope of my lecture here. Maybe there were 60 70,000 of
the Persian side, okay. And the Muslim books, it is said that the Muslims number around 30,000,
okay, and maybe they were close to this, or a little bit less than this. So in but in essence,
		
00:42:50 --> 00:43:31
			without a doubt, the Muslims are less than one third or one half or something of the other side.
Okay, one third or one half, clearly, the Muslims are much less than the other side. That's without
a shadow of a doubt. Now, the armies are growing. And the Persians realize that these people mean
business. And as the armies continue to grow, and their positions are getting larger and larger, so
negotiations have to begin what's going on here, negotiations began. And in fact, these negotiations
last three months, three months back and forth. And there are some interesting occasions and
interesting incidents that take place out of them is the most famous conversation that we have all
		
00:43:31 --> 00:44:02
			heard growing up and whatnot. And that is the conversation between ribon Ahmed, and between Rustom.
Who is, in essence, he is the one leading because by this time, the one on the throne is yes, the
third, the third, and yes, the third, the third is a little kid. In fact, he comes to power when
he's eight years old. He comes to power when he's eight years old. Again, you realize why is this
kid on the throne? Because there are people behind him who want to really rule, but they need a
token.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:34
			King and so there are factions within the family of khusro. Yes, the Joker is the grandson of
Cousteau. And there are so many grandsons here. So one general and one person basically chooses your
job and goes Hollis, you're going to be the Emperor. Okay. And roustan was one of the big guys that
chose you as the job. So in essence rose stone is one of the main leaders not Yes, desert years.
There's a he's not eight anymore, but he's still a little kid. He's not the actual if you like
independent Emperor, so lucidum
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:47
			asks for a delegation of the Muslims to come comment let's negotiate Why are you guys here with
30,000 40,000 troops What's going on? And this is the famous conversation that takes place with
revelry of an army in which
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:59
			poverty and others they mentioned in detail what happened and that is that bluestone commanded that
his most finest tent and pavilion be laid out and all of the fancy rugs and
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:38
			The the the wealth and opulence be displayed so that the emissaries see the lavish lifestyle they
live in. So one can only imagine now Persian material to this day, we know that the Persian material
is of the finest material to this day. Can you imagine the Sahaba seeing the best of the best,
seeing the wealth and the grind, you're walking into this, this, this tent city is going to be now
because this is not the palace right now. This is not testifying. We're going to get there next
week. inshallah. This week, we're still we're talking about the Battle of Odyssey right now, which
is going to begin and this year was a small village compared to testify, but it'll open the door to
		
00:45:38 --> 00:46:17
			testify. So this is taking place at Odyssey and they walk in Ruby, even Ahmed is the head of the
delegation and revelry is wearing the same clothes that the Sahaba were tattered garments, patches
here and there. He's riding an old horse, that's all he has, okay, his weaponry is sub sub sub
class, nothing fancy, like the shiny armory that the rest of the the Persians have when he comes in.
So these Persians are shocked like these are the people that are attacking us, because the first
conversation so the guards demand that he come off with his horse and take off his armor and hand
over the weapons. You can't come in front of the general, you know, armed and rebury says, You
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:58
			called me, I didn't, I didn't want to come, you called me. I'm gonna come to the way I am. Or I'll
go back. So they got permission. And so he walked in with his horse into the tent, and he walks in
with the same tattered clothing and the same What? And he gets off the horse. He ties his horse to
one of the carpet endings, because there is no pillar, you know, this is inside the 10th. Okay, so
he ties the horse to one of the carpet picks up the carpet. This fancy carpet uses it for the
horses, the horses rain, okay. And then littlestone famously asked him, Why did you guys come magic?
Like, what are you guys doing here? called back where you came from? And we lose it? Let's forget
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:47
			all this happen? Why are you bringing 30,000 men to attack us? You know, you're going to lose
basically, what's going on? And this is of course, where he gave that famous lecture, that famous
paragraph. And we've all heard the paragraph, but it opens for us the psychological perspective of
why the Sahaba are leaving Mecca and Medina and hedges. Why are they going out and conquering these
lands. It is not meant for wealth. It's not meant for inherent power. No. As rebury said, that Allah
subhanho wa Taala has sent us linear, collegial rivers, the military budget in the river, the either
above or below that famous statement, so that we can free the slaves of Allah. So he called the
		
00:47:47 --> 00:48:14
			rooster, a slave, which is an insult to him, because there are some things he's basically almost the
Emperor, so we can take free the slaves from the worship of other slaves, to the worship of the lord
of the slaves, and to free them from the strictness or the closeness of this world to the vastness
of the ACA and to free them from the in Justices of all religions, to the justice of Islam.
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:24
			So these are the three reasons he gave, stop worshiping other than a law worship Allah Subhana, WA,
tada, okay, and
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:49
			introduce you to the era rather than worrying about this world. And all other systems are other than
the system of Islam. And so whoever accepts this from us, we accept it from him, and whoever refuses
we fight him until the promise of a law comes true. So too soon said what is the promise of a law
and he says, For those who die It is Jenna. For those who live it is victory one of the two
		
00:48:50 --> 00:49:11
			called hotter Abbas una buena Illa. Del hostname, we have one of two things, if we live victory, if
we die genda And in both cases, it will be victory. So basically, as you know, he did not agree to
this and he sent them back. And eventually they ended up fighting the Battle of Odyssey as we're
going to come to it is also reported that during this time,
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:15
			Bob sent a delegation directly to us desert
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:45
			and use the jerseys in the capital. This is happening policy, he sends another delegation to us the
job and yes, the job was an impetuous young kid. He's not a he's not a politician yet. And yes,
digital was very rude to the Sahaba and the people who were there and all that is mentioned we don't
have that much details about the back and forth. What we do know is that one of the Sahaba gave his
name is awesome, awesome of an hour that he has the job commanded that as they're walking out, they
should
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:48
			they should have a
		
00:49:49 --> 00:50:00
			a basket of soil be put onto their heads as a sign of humiliation, basically. Okay, so they should
just like when they're coming out, let people basically put
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:44
			This basket on them, so they'd like a servant, you know, to carry to carry something. And awesome in
armor, he took this basket with great pride. And he held it up until he came back to the camp of the
Muslims. And he said Allahu Akbar, the Emperor has handed us his land on the platter, basically, he
took it as a positive Omen, that this is a sign, and it turned out to be a sign. Okay, so what he
wanted to be humiliation, awesome said Allahu Akbar, this is a sign from Allah, that the Emperor is
willingly handing his soil over to us. And it is actually if you think about it, it can be
interpreted exactly as a positive sign. And it goes back to the theological issue of reading in
		
00:50:44 --> 00:51:11
			positive omens. It is so nice to read in positive omens, we talked about this many times in the
class and whatnot. So he took the side of humiliation, he flipped it around, and he said, this is an
omen from Allah, it's a good sign from a law that the sassanid Empire is going to basically collapse
and it will be handed over to us. So when all the negotiations failed, in chabang, of 15, ah, which
is November of 66.
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:58
			November of 636, Shabana 15, ah, this is when the Battle of Odyssey took place. And the Battle of
Odyssey, it lasted for days, and the Muslim historians have named each day and we don't have to get
into all of that. But an all the details are mentioned, I'm just gonna very quickly summarize that
on the first day. So the Odyssey is now in Iraq, it's in modern Iraq. And it is basically a day away
from telephone. So a telephone will be the next stop, which is we're going to do next week, so hard
to see, in and of itself was not a major city. But the battle turned out to be the most important
battle, because this was the major troops of the sassanids because this was the big battle. So it
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:36
			was the stepping stone to the rest of the entire sassanid Empire. Okay, so, on the first day, the
Muslims really suffered immense losses, and the Persians had around 50 war elephants, wreaking havoc
in Muslim lines, as well, the Persian arrows were better and sharper and longer in their reach than
the Muslim equivalent, because the technology is better on the side of the Persians. Okay, so the
Muslim armor as well was not that sick compared to the Persian armor. And so the Muslims realized
that they needed to basically think about tactics. On the second day.
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:52
			They got some reinforcements to come from other places, because there's multiple media battles going
on. So they decided to get some help from other places. So on the second day, reinforcements are
coming in. And one of the commanders Akaka, decided to
		
00:52:54 --> 00:53:39
			use a ruse or a trick to demoralize the Persians. So what did he do the contingent that was coming
in, maybe around 2000 or so he divided them into much smaller contingents, and spread them out, and
told them to come at intervals throughout the day. So from the distance, it appeared, that one
Calvary after another is coming, more and more reinforcements coming, it's never stopping, even
though in reality, it was relatively small, but he spaced it out timewise and people wise, so that
it looked as if more and more people are coming. So this is a trick of war, a deceit of war. That
is, of course, what war is, is you have to basically deceive the enemy. And that's what the Hadees
		
00:53:39 --> 00:54:29
			is, that that's what war is, as well. They came up with the idea of scaring the animals of the
Persians, by using camels, and putting some bizarre contraptions on the camels to make them look
much bigger and like basically monster beasts, and charge into the ranks, so that the animals of the
Persians had never seen anything like these animals. Okay. And it worked. That by putting these
contraptions on the camels Now, imagine these these ideas coming from people that have never been
trained in a college of war. These are the Sahaba these are not people. And these interesting ideas
are just coming by and they're actually working. And on the second day, it appears that the Muslims
		
00:54:30 --> 00:55:00
			are beginning to have the upper hand. So the first day the Muslims did not have the upper hand. The
second it looks like they're now changing, the tide is about to be changed. On the third day, it was
an all out severe fighting breaks out on both sides, and the Persians decided to launch basically
all 50 elephants at once all of their elephants come out, and in fact, they almost made it to the
headquarters of Sadiq who cos Salim he will pass was his headquarters were in one of the palaces or
that one of the houses of the nobleman had
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:50
			converted to the to basically a war a room. They almost made it but the Muslims defended that house
and pushed the Persian soldiers back and sad said that we need to get rid of these elephants. And he
commanded the archers to target the eyes of the elephant and the men to get off their horses and run
into the battle. And don't target the enemy. target the elephants because the elephants are wreaking
complete havoc amongst the men and amongst the horses, and so hundreds of Muslims lost their lives.
But eventually, the elephants were all gotten rid of the battlefield when the elephants were
targeted directly. And the archers are aiming they're basically arrows directly out to the the
		
00:55:50 --> 00:56:32
			elephant's eyes the the swordsman are cutting off the trunk. So what you're going to do is war. You
can't be polite and gentle here now. Okay, you are the swordsman are cutting off the drunks. The men
are Dashing through and stabbing the elephants with javelins, you have to do this there is no other
way out. And bit by bit as the day goes on. All elephants are basically dead or off the battlefield.
And on the third day, the battle does not stop the previous two days it stopped at nightfall to come
back to rest. On the third day, it does not stop. And the entire night it is said you could hear the
clinking and clanking of the metal on one another the entire night. The battle continues going on
		
00:56:32 --> 00:57:02
			until after fudger non stop 24 hours the battle is going after 5g stands up. And he gives a rallying
call especially to his tribe who meme and he says the the fighters don't have the energy that we
have now. They all tired out after battle. If we all simultaneously attack, we will have the upper
hand. And that is exactly what happened that after around 30 hours of non stop battle.
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:49
			The Muslims mustered up that image that they need to have to win. And they all charged
simultaneously at the Persian encampment and they launched a fallout offensive. And after the whole
time, they reached finally the headquarters of bluestone himself. After the whole time they reached
the tent of rooster. And here there's different accounts of how he died. According to one version,
they basically found him dead with lots of wounds on him. So he died basically in the melee.
Confusion according to another version of particular person of the Muslim army found him and killed
him. In any case, the point is, according to both versions, bluestone died, gruesome died, and with
		
00:57:49 --> 00:58:38
			the death of Rustom, who was in effect a type of kisser. As we said yesterday was the child. It was
in effect, he was one of the main leaders of the coup that had taken place a few years ago, with the
death of Rustom. This was a huge demoralizing blow to the sassanids. And the Battle of Odyssey
turned out to be a huge success and the first and the major Domino to open up the rest of the land
of the Persians of the sassanids are multiple hop as soon as you heard of this, he told sad, do not
rest do not stop, continue on to muda and continue on to testify. And sadly nebby will cause
gathered the troops and made it straight from Odyssey he made his way to muda in and we will talk
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:51
			about medine because that is a whole long story. We'll talk about Medina and the conquest of Medina
in inshallah to Allah next next Wednesday between la he Tyler and with that shallow data with any
questions
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:53
			or we can
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:56
			yes quit
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:48
			there's nothing from the Sunnah called Salatu Nasir, there is nothing narrated in the Hadith about
Salatu nossal However, at any occasion, you are allowed to pray extra regard and ask Allah subhana
wa Tada. Some have called this Salah to Hydra and there is some Hadith that they say the Hadith
masala fucile hottie there is an F dilla for its authenticity, but the concept clearly is not
problematic. And that is that you are allowed to stand and pray to the gods at any time and ask
Allah for your needs. So if sad did something of this nature, which is mentioned, as you said in the
books, there's no there's nothing just like when the Sahaba was about to be executed. in Mecca, he
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:59
			prayed to the gods before he died. He didn't hear this from the Prophet system. But it's something
good like you're going to meet Allah subhana wa Tada. So we don't need a specific evidence.
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02
			To justify praying and making.
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:16
			So if you want to call this Salatu Nasir, not a problem as long as you realize it's not the promises
of them who told you to do it? It's from the general text of the Quran and Sunnah that you're
supposed to pray and make dua to Allah subhana wa Tada. Okay, yes.
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:23
			Doesn't mean that
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:32
			you have to ask controversial questions, right?
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:49
			Learn your own world Lo, Amara home. It doesn't say forever, it says, never shall a nation any land.
It's not going to happen. Okay. The question arises, and this is, this has always been,
		
01:00:51 --> 01:01:32
			Heidi that has brought a lot of discussion. So what do do to those nations that have had a female
ruler, and they seem to be successful. So in the ancient times, you had many female rulers, even the
Queen Sheba was a female. And even throughout history, there were always times where there were
women rulers and the nation seems to be flourishing. Okay, it's happened in the mameluke time. It
happened in the in India a number of times, this was one of Bhopal as well, was a female. Many times
it has happened that there were, it's going to happen in our country. Unfortunately, it looks like
the reality as well. Looks like this, the only other not that I'm liking it. But the reality is my
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:49
			semi prediction at Shelby, this lady that is running, there doesn't seem to be any other viable
candidate. Not that she herself as well. But my point is going to be happening. What is this mean?
So one can interpret it in one of two ways. If we follow if we follow the first interpretation of
the Hadith. The first is that,
		
01:01:50 --> 01:02:05
			as you said, that eventually this nation will perish that once they have chosen this, that they're
not going to be successful, they will cease to exist. Another interpretation is that philosophy
doesn't necessarily mean GDP.
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:18
			It doesn't mean economic success. It doesn't mean civilizational success of science and technology,
for that can also mean moral success and spiritual success. In which case,
		
01:02:19 --> 01:02:29
			one can say that many of the greatest civilizations are already failures, morally, you get my point
here. So what does that mean? Then you flare, what does it mean? Any further
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:42
			oslon in the Quran, that the greatest father has gender, okay, so one could also interpret it in
that manner. And then you have the second interpretation of the Hadith, which is basically, there is
no
		
01:02:43 --> 01:03:07
			more This isn't a command the process of saying, never have a lady in charge. Rather, this is a
statement of fact, that this nation that has now appointed a lady shall not be successful. And as I
said, the reason why I mentioned it is just so that we understand that this hadith has been
interpreted in the other manner, from the beginning of times, and Allah azza wa jal knows best. This
is one of those things that
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:15
			when the situation arises, we have to talk about it otherwise, the less said the better it is and
shall low data. shallow. Yes, good.
		
01:03:30 --> 01:04:07
			Yeah, Satya knows Yeah, Satya. Satya was his name. Yeah, Saudi algebra. So this is from the kurama
Varma, we'll talk about this in shallow our section about the speciality of Omar and whatnot. We'll
talk about this the karma and it is actually authentically narrated in the books of Musonda fat and
the works that talk about the talk about what the Sahaba said and did. There seems to be an
authentic evidence for this is an idea of Jebel Posada. Watch out the mountain behind you. So yes,
this does seem to have taken place and we'll talk about this when we talk about the the blessings
and the Fatah in the Quran and the Hadith about the lavon.
		
01:04:08 --> 01:04:18
			Shallow with this we conclude for today, and then we'll come back next year. It's not hard to see
it's not hard to see, but it did happen in his lifetime, but it's not quite this year. Shalom
Bismillah
