A group of people experienced shady behavior during a road trip, but executed after learning about Islam. They prioritized learning, but some decided to become permanent. The participants in the group experienced political dynamics in cities like Mecca and Lake Mecca.
00:00:09 -->
00:00:13
For salatu wa salam want to say the Mohammed in water it was a big mine about
00:00:14 -->
00:00:57
in our last Hadar, we had discussed the establishment of the Treaty of the people of Medina, we call
that the early constitution. And we pointed out that it was a very forward thinking document, there
was nothing similar to it. Frankly, there was nothing similar to it in the entire world at the time,
where the profitsystem gave each of the religious groups semi independence. And he then put some
bonds between them that were more political in nature. And this shows us that, from the Islamic
perspective, the bonds of the oma and the bonds of a religion are stronger than the bonds of the
nation state or the bonds of ethnicity. And this is a philosophical tangent, which we don't have
00:00:57 -->
00:01:20
time to get into. Now, I've spoken about this at length and other places. The modern world is
divided into nation states, and the modern world, we are told to view each other based upon our
nationality, Americans, Canadians, British ears, Mexicans, Australians, Nicaraguans, every these,
all of these different countries, and we are told that this is the strongest bond. But if you really
think about it, the bonds of the nation state are actually
00:01:21 -->
00:01:58
pretty imaginary, because there's nothing that combines people of one nationality, other than that
nationality. And this is a very philosophical point, but it's very true. What makes a person of a
particular nationality, the same as anybody else. Let's look at America. Well, let's look at Canada.
What is the one thing common in all Americans? Is it language? Is it religion? Is it skin color is
ethnicity? Is it food? It's hardly anything, right? In fact, the only thing that is common is the
fact that we're American, which is a circular loop. And so the whole way that the modern world is
structured, and they make fun of us for saying that you guys still view the religion as being the
00:01:58 -->
00:02:38
primary factor. But when you think about it, logically, the religion gives us so many things in
common. It gives us the same ethics, the same values, the same philosophy of living, the same
morality, the same language, we have a divine language, we have one parabola, which we're going to
talk about today, right? We have similar signs, we have a calendar, we have that which is genuinely
important. Not superficial skin color, ethnicity, spiciness, and food, this is nothing that's
important, but how you live your life, right? your morals, your PM, your values, isn't this the most
important thing? And therefore if you really think about it, and well, I have tried my best to think
00:02:38 -->
00:03:00
about every attack they give of Islam. And the more that I think about it, the more logical the
Islamic position always seems to be right. And this is something again, beyond the scope here. But
when the Prophet system came to Medina, he got rid of the the aos and the hustlers mentality. He got
rid of the mentalities of Jay helia. But he retained your hood, Muslim, Muslim.
00:03:02 -->
00:03:41
And he put the you who you are one oma, he said, along with the believers, right? Well, you who do
own mutton, non Muslim in your 101. And so he divided people based upon not their skin color, not
their ethnicity, not their race, but their religious values. And we'll like it that is the most
logical way to divide any person or any community up because your values because your religion,
which is what gives you gives you values is the most important framework from which you live your
life. Right? If you think about this, and so the Profit System, the first thing he did, he said,
Look, you are one oma, we are one oma. And then he allowed them to judge according to their own
00:03:41 -->
00:04:22
laws. And this is amazing what country in the world other than one or two, and even that in some
areas, right? I mentioned two of them. Last week, India and Israel are the only two countries that
I'm aware of that still have somewhat this type of philosophy that the process of inputting right in
that depending on what your religion is, you will get a different civil law, but the process of one
more than civil law, he in fact, gave them semi independence. And he said, even if anything occurs
amongst you to the level of murder, whatnot, you guys deal with it internally, unless it's the two
groups that are fighting one another. Now we have to go external. But otherwise, there was, for all
00:04:22 -->
00:04:58
practical purposes, complete independence within their own oma. And this is something that is
unparalleled and unprecedented in any constitution. What would this do? If the hood of course, then
we should record were given this but then they fizzled off right, then we should record, they
dissolved away. They weren't no pagans after a year. So this contract has one or two clauses about
them, we should record but then they're gone. So holla there goes, so there's only two omaze left
the Muslims and the yahood. And if they are who'd had fulfilled their part of the bargain, they
would have become the most industrious, the most successful yahood community in the whole world
00:04:58 -->
00:05:00
because they're there, the hood
00:05:00 -->
00:05:38
We're always in the diaspora. They're always in small groups here and there. And if they had stuck
to the treaty, the Muslims would have become more powerful and along with them, they will also
become more powerful. The Muslims are gained wealth, they would have gained wealth. Instead, they
did not appreciate that freedom. Never had they been given that much freedom that the Prophet system
told them Do as you please amongst yourselves. It is as if you're completely independent, you
basically have your semi independent states, that's how much you gave them. Right. And yet, as we
know, and this is a very sensitive issue, but we need to tackle it head on, as we said before, the
00:05:38 -->
00:06:14
accusations of anti semitism are given, but we do not believe this is anti semitism. We believe that
this is because they did what they did, not because of who they are, and there's a big difference,
right? And we're going to talk about this inshallah today a little bit, and for the next few months,
we're gonna have to always bring this up. So we talked about the issue of this division, and we
mentioned the Profit System, dividing them based upon their religion. The next major incident that
the books of Sierra mention, takes place a few months after this, and we don't have any major
incident that occurs. As I said, the Sierra is like a series of snapshots. What happens in between
00:06:14 -->
00:06:46
is usually blank, not every day is recorded. At least seven eight months go by we don't really hear
anything significant happening, then what happens, the change of cabler occurs, the change of tempo.
So this is the next major incident that the books of sera mentioned. And the change of tribler
probably occurred around 15 to 16 months after the immigration, probably 15 to 16 months, so around
a year and a half or a bit less Around this time, after the hitter of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam and this caused a mini crisis. Why for many reasons.
00:06:48 -->
00:07:34
Firstly, because this was the first time that a law had abrogated a ruling. The concept of
abrogation, the concept of NUS in Arabic is a concept that was new to the Muslims and to the non
Muslims what is nest, nest means abrogation. abrogation means Allah subhana wa tada reveals a law.
And then he reveals another law that abrogates the first law. And this is a detailed topic of well
suited for the realities of deriving fifth classic example, Allah subhana wa tada revealed in the
Quran, we still recite it to this day through the dakara that those women whose husbands die, they
shall wait one month. Sorry, one year, they should wait one year, right before they get remarried.
00:07:34 -->
00:07:42
Right. So the shady I came down with a Koran came down that one entire year, the woman shall not get
remarried.
00:07:43 -->
00:08:22
Few months or years later, the exact timing is not known between these two revelations, Allah
subhana wa Taala abrogated the year. And he then put in place the ruling that we're all familiar
with and that is out about a shooting Russia for months and 10 days. Right. So there is to this day,
two verses in the Koran, you cannot apply both of them there is a direct clash. We don't call it a
contradiction because there's no contradiction in us. And there's no contradiction in the Quran.
There is abrogation, abrogation because one of these laws we just recite, we don't actually
implement. So there's no contradiction. This is a clear case of abrogation. And the concept of
00:08:22 -->
00:09:02
abrogation is something that we as soon affirm some of the other groups deny the shear for example,
deny abrogation, the Morteza deny abrogation, they say there's no such thing, and they try to
reinterpret all of these verses. But as for 100, sooner we affirm abrogation, and there are more
than a dozen examples. authentically mentioned in our books of filth and zero. The first time
abrogation occurred. We'll talk about it today. That is the Kabbalah. Why? Because Initially, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was told to pray facing Jerusalem beta blockers. And throughout
his entire period in Makkah, the prophet system continued to pray towards baytril mark this, it is
00:09:02 -->
00:09:43
reported in some of the books for example, even inside of a cartel hackers mustard rock, that
whenever the process of prayed in Mecca, facing Jerusalem, he would in fact, put the camera in front
of him. So he has a double fibula basically, right, that he will always pray on that one side of the
camera that faces Jerusalem. So whenever he would pray because you can pray anywhere in Makkah, if
you're facing Jerusalem, we don't have to face the fibula. You don't have to face the our people
their privilege, the previous Qibla was, was Jerusalem. Yet every time the process of them prayed he
would situate himself such that the character was in front of him and beta lock this was in that
00:09:43 -->
00:09:59
direction. And therefore it was as if he wanted to break facing the character and he continued to
pray in this direction. Now, Bates will mock this we've already talked about the blessings of beta
lock this few weeks ago we talked about Islam and marriage and Allah subhana wa tada said,
00:10:00 -->
00:10:09
Out of the lady Baraka hola who this is a blessing land and the Prophet system praised, beloved a
sham in so many a hadith and it is
00:10:10 -->
00:10:53
it was the holiest land before the Prophet system came, Ibrahim alayhis salam had made Makkah the
holiest land, but this ruling had not been for the hood. This ruling had been for Israel and the
children of Israel. So for the hood, they thought the holiest land and the hood were basically the
largest group of worshipers of Allah on earth. At that time, they ruled and then after them the
Christians always thought that Bates will mock this was the holiest land and they were not familiar
with Makkah to this day. They don't consider mocha to be sacred because that was something that
Allah blessed Ibrahim and his smile with. By the way, I mentioned this way back before many of the
00:10:53 -->
00:11:30
prophets including Moosa made Hajj to Mecca. We know this because our process then told us but these
are the prophets, not their followers. their followers did not come to Mecca. As far as we know.
There is no indication that any of the followers of the prophets came. But the prophets themselves
came because Allah told them about Mecca, and a lot of xojo told them to do Hajj. So they came and
did Hajj over 70 prophets came and did Hajj, but not the followers of the Prophet so for the
followers of the prophets, they considered beta loc this to be the holiest when the Prophet system
came alive, so he wanted to show that he is following the real religion of Ibrahim Allah has sent
00:11:30 -->
00:11:40
him so he wanted to resurrect the original Qibla because that is the first criminal remember our
debate in wall the adinath landlady Baca
00:11:41 -->
00:12:21
the first house that was ever built of worship was Becca, and our Prophet system was asked what is
the first message you'd ever built on earth? He said, The Kappa beta law and then he said what was
the next he said beta will mock this. He was asked some kind of a normal, what was the time between
them? And he said 40 years between them. There was 40 years between Abraham Allison and building the
Kaaba, and then either is halfway October is difference of opinion who but somebody builds something
in beta McCullough's not not the hacker today man that was of course many centuries later, but
someone either is half or Yahoo built something a lot more than what it was and that is the place of
00:12:21 -->
00:12:46
beta and muchness 40 years difference. So a lot as origin one wanted to show the status of the Kava
the status of the the first house, however when the Prophet says and emigrated to Medina, now the
Qibla is still based on mark this and Medina is due north of Mecca. Medina is due north america and
they will mark this is due north of Medina
00:12:47 -->
00:12:48
straight line.
00:12:49 -->
00:13:33
And so if you want to pray facing Bay to lock this, you have to turn your back to the cabin. It's
literally literally 180 degrees. And so the profitsystem has to follow the shady at that time the
ruling came down that it must be facing beta democracy now. By the way, ness or abrogation doesn't
have to be on with Quran. The Quran can abrogate The sooner the sooner they can abrogate the Quran
the sooner they can abrogate the Sunnah and the Quran can abrogate the Quran. For logical
possibilities. Cross abrogation can occur. The ruling to pray towards beta this Allah had revealed
it in the sooner it's not in the Quran. But it is still a part of the shediac. So the Muslims were
00:13:33 -->
00:13:49
praying facing beta democritus. And the Prophet says when he moved to Medina, he had to face North
turn his back towards the cab. Now what happened was, and we're going to talk about this next few
lessons, not today, what happened was
00:13:50 -->
00:13:54
the tensions began between the Prophet system and the route
00:13:55 -->
00:14:01
for the next here from the hedgerow tensions began. And we'll talk about this
00:14:02 -->
00:14:42
towards the end after a while and basically but just a little bit of a introduction to this concept.
When the process of first emigrated to Medina. He's finally amongst a group of people who believe in
the Abrahamic faith, and maccha there's nobody who's a Jew or a Christian, and maccha they're all
idol worshippers pagans idolaters. in Medina, he's finally amongst a large group, there were a few
1000 we said, who the hood, a large group who believe in the same God, who believe in the same line
of prophets, the courage didn't even know what is a prophet. Right? They said, What is a prophet who
never saw what is this thing called the Prophet? We never heard of one. The Quran didn't believe in
00:14:42 -->
00:14:57
a book. They didn't say what is they have no concept of what is a book, right? And by the way,
anybody who's tried to give our I speak with a little bit of experience to Hindus versus to
Christians and Jews. You see the difference? Right? People who don't have a concept of
00:14:58 -->
00:14:59
any rusada Nope.
00:15:00 -->
00:15:37
akhira genuine now, you know, they have no concept why it's so different, so difficult to give that
to them that God sends prophets like they don't even understand the concept. Why would God send a
person? Right and the courageous the same thing, and that to this day pagans asked the same thing.
Whereas the advocate tab, they are so close to us in so many things, they the concepts they are can
sit there there, but except a little bit of fine tuning is needed, right? They believe in God, they
believe in the angels, they believe in the hereafter. They believe in heaven and *, they believe
in the books coming down. They believe in the concept of prophets. So for the first time, the
00:15:37 -->
00:16:19
prophet system is intermixing, with a group that believes in all of this, and his heart was very
optimistic that finally a large group will convert because why not? They have been waiting for a
profit. They know that, that they're waiting for a profit. We know this. They know that I'm the
profit, right? The only foreigner who can it funa Vina, Allah says in the Quran, they recognized him
as they recognize their own children. They recognize the Profit System as they recognize their own
children. Right and Subhanallah What a beautiful verse only parents will understand this, right? You
recognize your child will love him, if he's just crying in the back, you know, immediately This is
00:16:19 -->
00:16:59
my kid, right? You know, immediately if you see your child far will you recognize him, no matter how
far away how what clothes he's wearing, you'll immediately recognize your child, and a lot of saying
you know, who they recognize the promises of them, as well as they recognize their own children.
Now, the prophet system knew that they recognized him. So why Shouldn't he be optimistic? Right? Why
Shouldn't he be hopeful. And also remember, Abdullah had been sent out their main Rabbi converted.
So this is even more reason to make him optimistic. So I should also notice that when the process of
first came to Medina, this is an interesting Hadith, which shows us a little bit about the
00:16:59 -->
00:17:40
psychology at this time, the prophet system wanted to resemble them as much as possible, to make
them feel comfortable, right. He wanted to resemble them as much as possible, outwardly, do whatever
needed to be done to show them that were the same basically. But as the tensions increased,
eventually, he began commanding the Muslims to dissociate from them to be different from them.
Right? And so there are so many ahadith Harley fullier hood Harley for nosara hollyford. Nikita,
there's so many it be different from the hood. Don't do like the hood in this right? Don't be like
them. In the beginning, it was the opposite. There was rulings to be like them, to make them feel
00:17:40 -->
00:18:01
comfortable to make them feel similar. But when it was clear that they had made up their minds that
no, we know he's the Prophet, but we're not going to follow what happened. They became arrogant when
they became arrogant then the Prophet system gave started giving different rulings and there are so
many a hadith you know, so much so so much so even were you part the hair,
00:18:02 -->
00:18:37
even where you parked the hair, that the process of them said they parked it on this side, you park
it on that site? Now this is of course specific to those people that they had a style so don't even
be like that. Right? He said, it isn't Bahati they are who don't pray with their shoes on. So pray
with your shoes on. Now, don't follow this heading to the masjid. Right. We are working somebody
comes in stamping the feed when you're outside on the grass when you're outside somewhere in the
field. Yes. In fact, it is not proper to take your shoes off at that point in time. Right? Because
you're supposed to towards them said hardly food. Right? They don't pray and they're in the
00:18:37 -->
00:19:13
audience. So son, Lou Feeney article, you pray in your shoes and with your shoes. This is a
handwritten body. And why is that because the who'd have had that they always have to take their
shoes off. And so even in this he wants to be different, right? The process of them said the hood,
don't touch their women in their menses and don't do anything you hire for your food you eat with
them, you sit with them do everything other than the actual act of intimacy be different from them.
So our shediac came to be totally different from that, of the who, wherever Allah azza wa jal wanted
it to be different. Why? Because of this, because of this arrogance. So one of those things to be
00:19:13 -->
00:19:15
different came down as the Qibla.
00:19:16 -->
00:19:54
And the Prophet system after a year of this hostility, we'll talk about that hostility later on
where we'll talk about the who the much more detail, because we really do have to go bit by bit to
answer the charges that the non Muslims give to the process. And as I said, many times, there's two
or three very sensitive areas and because we live in America, we must give justice to these topics.
Number one is the treatment of the Jews. Number two is the accusation that the process was a
military, always military commander and leader and he's always waging war, we need to talk about
this. Number three is like women's issues like marriage and whatnot. Marriage to Ayesha all of this
00:19:54 -->
00:19:55
we need to talk about and explain
00:19:57 -->
00:20:00
in a way that will defend our profit system and being fixed.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:10
To our tradition, so now is not the time to get into the hood. We'll talk about them later. But when
all of this animosity is beginning, the prophet system began wanting to change the Qibla.
00:20:11 -->
00:20:59
Now, the cabler alarm widget had told him to face pay to unlock this, so he cannot change it of his
own will. And it is narrated that once when jabril came down with some are on the Prophet system,
expressed his hope to God, that Oh God, I wish to pray facing Makkah, He even told us Did you read?
I wish to pray facing Mecca. And gibreel said that in an urban myth, look, I am an app just like
you. And I only come with the armor of Alaska which I can't help you out here. If you want this make
dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala Subhana Allah look at the most powerful human is asking the most
powerful Angel, right, the most blessed human being who ever walked, the face of the earth is asking
00:20:59 -->
00:21:40
the most blessed inhabitant of the sky. And both of them say, I can't do anything. I'm not
responsible, you need to go ask Allah azza wa jal, right? And Subhanallah how misguided are those
then? Who turned to these two? For da and for worship? How misguided are they? When both the process
of NGOs they cannot even change the Qibla Jubilee saying in Nima and Abba don't miss look, right? I
am an app like you, I don't have any control. If you really want to make dua to Allah, and if he
tells me I'll come down, otherwise, it's not in my hands. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
began making dua earnestly, in tahajud at night in the day, so much so that he was looking up to the
00:21:40 -->
00:22:27
sky, and looking up to the sky is only done indoors at times of extreme distress. Usually, the
prophet system would in fact, lower his head, right. But on specific occasions when the situation
called for it, he would raise his head up to the sky. For example, before the bottle of butter, he
would, he looked up to the sky, and he implored and begged Allah subhana wa Taala for help. And this
is the most famous time he ever did this in public. Very rarely did he look up to the sky and doing
so is a sign of extreme desperation. And therefore the Prophet system did this. But he did it. At
night when nobody was looking. How do we know he did it? Because Allah revealed it in the Koran, or
00:22:27 -->
00:23:11
the naramata calabogie hiccoughs sama? Allah revealed in the Quran and verse that we recite to this
day. We have seen takalua would shake your face turning up for summer, always looking up to the
skies. You always looking up making dua to Allah Fela Nova Leanna Kabila tanto Baja. So let it be
decreed we will face you in a direction that you want. Notice Allah had already decreed is going to
go to Makkah, but Allah is saying, I know you wanted it. This is my gift to you. He didn't have to
phrase the Koran this way. Write that because you want it it will please you I'm giving it to you.
This is what the process of is being told. Not that I have decreed it, but rather to show that the
00:23:11 -->
00:23:56
desire of the Prophet system is indeed one that Allah azza wa jal wants to give him this tool to
Allah azza wa jal says fellow new Orlean naka kybella tanto de Boer. We're gonna change your face,
we're gonna cause you to turn to a direction that you want that you like, that shall please you. So
when Lee was you Hakka Chaparral West she did her wrong. So from now on, turn your face in the
direction of messages out on what Hey, Thelma couldn't tune for well, Lou shutaura and wherever you
are, then turn your face in that direction. and Eliza then revealed multiple verses. This is of
course in the second Jews of the Quran Surah Baqarah. The first two pages of the secondaries are all
00:23:56 -->
00:24:41
dealing with the change of the Qibla. Now, when all of these verses came down, and as I said this
came down, in this is 16 1715 months roughly, some say Rajab of the second year some say Shabbat of
the second year. Rajasthan Shabbat right and remember better was in Ramadan. So but that is still
one month away. The battle the budget is one month away. So this happened like a month or two before
the Battle of budget. And when this command came down this command proved to be a great source of
confusion for everyone the Muslims the hood, and then we should record it was confusing. Why was it
confusing? Allah subhana wa tada mentions in the Quran, why it was confusing. Allah says, say akuto
00:24:41 -->
00:25:00
sufa homina nasi Mauer La Mancha bility mulethi kandivali. The sufa the foolish people will begin
questioning. Why have they turned away from the Qibla that they were upon? How come they're changing
directions. One of them said one of the who'd said if this man
00:25:00 -->
00:25:13
is a profit. How can these praying one day facing south, one day facing north and the other day
facing south? Why is he changing his mind all the time? Another set another of them said, that isn't
our dribbler. Good enough for him?
00:25:14 -->
00:25:53
Is it our fibula, good enough for him? We have the best dribbler. Why is he changing it to another
fibula. And so people began talking of course, the issue of abrogation itself was new, and Allied
soldiers therefore revealed inserted Baqarah the concept of abrogation remembers who it is Baccarat
is the first of the major suitors to be revealed in Medina. Right. So suited Baccarat provides us
the first year and a half. It mentions better it mentions the change of Puebla. It mentions a lot
about the hood. Think about that. Why does it talk so much about the hood? Because this is when they
needed to know all of this information? Right. So the Baccarat is full of money Israel, Elan Moosa,
00:25:53 -->
00:26:39
and what happened? Why is this because this is the context that it is needed for ensuited bacara
Allah mentions the concept of nurse abrogation man and salmon are yet in odunsi half Nazi be hired
in Minho, Miss leha whenever we abrogate a ruling, or we cause it to be lost or forgotten, we then
bring forth something better than it or at least something equivalent to it. So there's a wisdom
behind our abrogation and Allah subhana wa tada mentions one giant table Atletico De La Hoya in La
Nina and Emma Manya, tibial Rasulullah membean, calibre RPB. The only reason that or one of the main
reasons why Mr. Jang Nakula Telecom Italia, we wanted to test those who follow the Prophet versus
00:26:39 -->
00:27:09
those who rejected the Prophet. So every commandment is a test. Every commandment is a test whether
you follow it or not, whether you obey it or not. For the Muslims, it was a test to see whether they
implemented this new ruling from Allah subhana wa Tada. Of course they did. For the hood, it was a
clear sign, there was a hidden message for the hood, there was a hidden message for the hood. And
that was as follows. This Prophet came
00:27:10 -->
00:27:15
in the line of your profits. So he's facing your Qibla.
00:27:16 -->
00:27:23
But he shall now supersede your profit wood line, and he shall take it back to the original.
00:27:24 -->
00:27:29
So he's not coming from a different tradition. He tours from the same tradition.
00:27:30 -->
00:27:41
Because if Allah had willed the change of people that would have been in Makkah, but a Lhasa which I
wanted to demonstrate for a year and a half the Muslims are praying in the same direction as the
hood.
00:27:42 -->
00:28:26
And then Allah azza wa jal changes it to Mecca. What is the purpose, the purpose, multiple fold, but
primarily to demonstrate to the Jews, that this prophet is from the same tradition as your religion.
And he venerates the same icons that we have told you to venerate? You were supposed to pray towards
beta blockers, he will also pray towards beta blockers. But he is not just a Jewish prophet. He is
more than this. Why? Because remember, they are who they thought they were exclusive. Correct. They
thought they still think there's an exclusive. They're the chosen people. We believe they were
chosen, by the way, we should not deny this. But the key is that they were chosen, right? That's the
00:28:26 -->
00:29:00
emphasis. The key is on they were a chosen people. Well, I saw Muslims in their blindness or anger,
they they even go against the Koran or soon to hear the hood Allah azza wa jal says in multiple
verses right stuff at home, I don't mean is that we have preferred you over all of the people of
their time. So they would word the chosen race, yes. But they were in the past and a lot of xojo
wanted to demonstrate that this is going to seize now is going to finish now. And how was that
demonstration through multiple ways, but primarily through the change of the table. And
00:29:02 -->
00:29:40
the Jews then began saying that anybody who faces any direction other than Bates will mock this,
Allah will never be pleased with him. And Allah will not accept from him. And they said, it is a
part of piety to face Jerusalem. And to this day, they all face in that direction when they pray,
even many of the Christian groups not all of them, but many of them. In fact, in our days,
Protestant Christianity have completely lost this but orthodox and Eastern Orthodox and other
ancient Christianity's they generally face east and some of them still have that they're going to
face, Jerusalem. So they said you have to face in that direction. At this, Allah revealed, les Silva
00:29:40 -->
00:29:42
and to Waterloo have contributed metrically Well, Muslim.
00:29:43 -->
00:29:51
piety is not in which direction you face. It's not which direction and this also shows By the way,
as we know,
00:29:53 -->
00:29:59
some groups of Jews their main emphasis is the law. There's very little theology and spirituality
00:30:00 -->
00:30:19
It's all about observance of the law. And the law says it's not piety to face east or west. Well, I
can then build Rahman and Abdullah who will do my real piety is what's inside the spirituality to
believe in a law and the final day and to give to the poor
00:30:20 -->
00:31:00
and to go and as Virgil mentions a whole list of good deeds, right? The point is Allah azza wa jal
criticize the hood for saying, You must be following this law in order to be pious and Allah says no
east or west, a number two a loofa sandwich Hola. whichever direction you turn, allies of a judge
gel is there, meaning Eliza we accept all of the directions you pray whichever direction the Qibla
is, as long as of course you are following the commandments of Allah. And in fact Allah subhana wa
tada says, and again, all of this, by the way is in the same page, which is the second juice of the
Quran, the first page of the second Jews that were in a Tater Latina ooh to Kitab the Coulee ayat in
00:31:00 -->
00:31:17
mattevi rakibul attack, that if you were to bring every sign to the people of the book, they would
never follow your kimberleigh The process was being consoled, don't worry, they don't want to follow
your Qibla. Rama antimetabolite in cable at home and you are not going to follow their kybella. One
00:31:19 -->
00:32:01
cable at about and they themselves don't follow each other similar. The Jews have a similar the
Christians have a different Qibla. So Allah is diligent is consoling the process. And don't worry if
they don't follow your kybella you have your cable and they have their cable and a large surgeon has
chosen the best for you. And even for them we should record it was a confused confusion and a
slander. What type of profit is this he keeps on changing his mind. But for them as well. There was
a hidden message that the Prophet system was expelled from Mecca. And he then respected the Kaaba
more than the orange did by making it the center of his direction a very bad and focus and by
00:32:01 -->
00:32:29
purifying his worship for Allah. So the orange are being told that you are not worthy to be
custodians of the gap that our Prophet Mohammed says Adam will be the one who inherits the Kava, and
resurrects the prestige that it had in the time of Ibrahim alayhis salam, because you have failed in
this message. So in the change of the Tabler, there were multiple messages being given to the hood
and to the Porsche. There's also an interesting theological point that occurred.
00:32:31 -->
00:32:34
And that is, when the Qibla change occurred.
00:32:36 -->
00:33:13
The Muslims asked a question to the processor and they said O Messenger of Allah, what will happen
to those who prayed facing beta will mock this. And then they died before this verse came down.
Because obviously there's been 15 years since the beginning of the message. And it's been probably
at least four to five years since Allah has been made obligatory. Right? Or maybe three we don't
know exactly when as we know it. Stolen marriage is a big difference when exactly it occurred.
between five to three years people have been praying. We're gonna have a number of people that have
died, at least we know of at least 10 people that have died natural deaths in this time because
00:33:13 -->
00:33:28
there is no battle. So the Sahaba said, O Messenger of Allah, how about those people who died and
they never faced in the right direction? They're always facing beta democritus. Will Allah accept
their sila?
00:33:30 -->
00:34:24
Will Allah accept their Salah at this Allah revealed in the Quran? Again, this isn't the same series
of verses. What kind of law who knows Lilia imana come from a kind of La julio de imana come along
will never cause your faith to be wasted away. Allah will never cause your faith to be wasted away.
Now this verse was a primary evidence of many of our classical scholars, when they talked about a
theological issue and that is the status of Salah, the status of salah and Imam Ahmed, and many of
the classical scholars were of the opinion that sila praying is a necessary part of being a Muslim.
It's not a luxury. It's a requirement of being a Muslim. And this was their main evidence always on
00:34:24 -->
00:34:32
makanda LaHood Yulia Imani. Why, because they said the question was about will Allah accept their
salah
00:34:34 -->
00:34:56
and Allah revealed Allah will never cause your Eman to go to waste. Even Emmanuel Buhari by the way
in his aha moment Buhari has a chapter heading and he's about this and he says, so Allah called
they're solid, they're eemaan which means if they didn't have solid they wouldn't have EMA. Right.
And this is
00:34:57 -->
00:35:00
a standard position and obtain me a bill.
00:35:00 -->
00:35:29
Many of the classical scholars mentioned this that Salah is a necessary requirement of being a
Muslim, not a luxury, not something if you do it, you're good if you don't do it, you're bad. No, it
is a necessary requirement. And this is a detailed theological discussion which we don't have time
for now, but you should be aware of it. And this is the verse that is used primarily. Of course, by
the way, there's at least even notify em wrote a whole book about this book, Metallica sada, and he
mentioned 22 verses that he mentioned, and then dozens of a hadith.
00:35:30 -->
00:36:12
The verse that is used is for taboo, accommo salata, artistica if the pagans repent and pray and
give zeca then there are Muslims and have them written with the third one the angels as all who
masala comfy soccer How did you end up in jahannam? The number one thing they say all alumna,
communal masala mean they weren't we weren't of those used to pray. And Allah mentions those who are
going to help fall outside Dhaka voila Salah Allah. He never gave charity nor did he ever pray. And
Allah mentions way that did alohomora Kuru law your Quran when they are told to prostrate to do
record, they don't do bluecore and Eliza says what optimise data what data kuno mineral mushrikeen
00:36:13 -->
00:36:55
established salah and don't be amongst the pagans. What an What an interesting combination here,
right? establish the salah and don't be amongst the pagans or be like the pagans, which means Salah
is opposite to being a Muslim. Right? And we'll go on and on. That's a whole different tangent, but
you should be aware that there's a controversy in medieval Islam. What is the status of salah and
many of the scholars and this is a position that I also very strongly hold. Say that Salah is a
necessary part of being a Muslim, a Muslim has to have some relationship with Salah He must be or
she must be praying some time or some relationship must be prostrating to Allah azza wa jal or else
00:36:55 -->
00:37:33
if there is abandonment of Salah. The process of them said it this way Muslim men taraka sila
difficulty Kapha Hadith is assigned Muslim men telecasts Allah, whoever abandons the solder, whoever
has nothing to do with the solder. This person is simply not a Muslim is a Kaffir. These are the
words of the Prophet system. And this has been a position throughout our own mind it seems to have a
lot of of support to this, even the fact of Sahaba were so worried how are they going to enter
gender, if they're not praying in the right direction. But Allah said, Look, I told them to pray
that direction, I will accept their faith and a lot therefore testify to the Sunnah as being their
00:37:33 -->
00:37:53
faith. Anyway, back to the story here. That's the tangent, theological tangent, which maybe one day
we'll talk about, in more detail, the story, the prophet system, there's a common myth that he was
praying one day, and jabril came down and told him to pray the other way. So he turned around, and
the whole messenger turned around this is a myth, this is not true.
00:37:55 -->
00:37:56
In fact,
00:37:57 -->
00:38:15
this is a confusion later on the to place. The authentic reports are very clear. And that is that
the Prophet system prayed fudger, praising facing Jerusalem, and then he prays Lahore facing Mecca.
So the commandments came down in the early morning.
00:38:16 -->
00:38:30
The commandment came down in the early morning. And when it came down, the prophecy was announced
that the change of Scribbler has occurred in his message. And so what used to be the front of the
messages became the back of the message.
00:38:31 -->
00:38:43
And the Prophet system then went to what was the back and from henceforth, it became the front until
he passed away a little while he was in. Now, those people who prayed vote in the masjid,
00:38:44 -->
00:38:46
they went back to their homes.
00:38:47 -->
00:38:48
And
00:38:49 -->
00:38:54
one of them reached the famous Masjid that we now call most Judo people attain.
00:38:55 -->
00:39:19
And this mustard was the masjid of the tribe of Banu Salah Banu Salama Masuda. COVID-19, by the way
is right outside my own alma mater, the University of Medina is walking distance from us with
credulity. If red mosquito kibble attainder is around about there, you turn left at the roundabout.
That's where my university where I studied for 10 years is over there. It's literally right behind
the menstrual cup to attain the best you could attain was the tribe of Banu Salama. Now,
00:39:20 -->
00:39:31
the Sahabi prayed in the process as best you could. And he strolled back, maybe he did some other
errands by the time he got back home. They were already praying.
00:39:33 -->
00:39:59
So when he saw them praying outside he was shocked because he wanted to get there before to tell
them, but they're in the middle of the prayer. So he cried out from the back of the message that all
people have the messages I have just come from the profits as well as Masjid and I prayed with him.
And he was praying facing Makkah, the command has come to prefacing Mugu. So this was the message
00:40:00 -->
00:40:00
You must
00:40:01 -->
00:40:26
not the Prophet system, the Imam of that Masjid and the Sahaba in that Masjid and they're also have
that was the masjid where they turned around and the Imam walks straight through the entire so
forth. And the everybody basically turned around where they were right. And that's why it was called
Masjid ability. Okay? That's why it's called Masjid Kabbalah team. It was not something the prophet
SAW himself did.
00:40:27 -->
00:40:44
By the way, I wish I could go over this whole page of sorts of the bucket is very important, but we
don't have time for this but one more ayah that is very relevant for this whole section. And you all
know this if it came down smack in the middle of the verses of Kabbalah or karateka. Jana, come on
Martin.
00:40:45 -->
00:40:46
was certain.
00:40:47 -->
00:41:32
Martin was certain. This is how we have made you a worse automa This is a famous verse everybody
knows it right? Oh man was that the phrase? The context of this verse is what Tabler the context of
this verse Allah azza wa jal mentions omoton was written in the context of the Qibla. What karateka
Jana number 10 was often the meaning of was sought by the way a lot of people misunderstand the
meaning of what's what is commonly thought to be the middle, the moderate, in fact, this is the
secondary meaning it is valid, it's not invalid, it's a secondary meaning, there is a primary
meaning of rustled The, the, the ultimate meaning of what's what, and here are the ones that means.
00:41:33 -->
00:41:37
Technically, classically, the term was not actually meant the highest,
00:41:39 -->
00:41:41
believe it or not, was not meant the highest.
00:41:43 -->
00:42:15
So the mountain, like you would say that the pinnacle because the mountain goes like this, let's say
right, so you would say that was sort of the mountain meaning the highest, but the highest also for
the mountain is usually the middle. Right? So the original meaning of what's what is actually the
highest or the pinnacle. And therefore, what that also means not just highest in stature, highest in
excellence, highest in character, highest in honesty, and allow users the terminal on primarily for
this meaning, right?
00:42:16 -->
00:42:57
What is the verse all that Oh, sell to whom? Allah Allah como la, to set, boom, right? The not the
middle one amongst them. Not the middle one, either all sorts of home. This is the story of the
garden. In sort of noon, we'll call him a student write the story of the garden, and the ones who
wanted to protect their garden from the beggars I gave a hold of about this a few months ago, right?
The ones who wanted to protect the garden from the beggars, Paula osato, whom it's not the middle
one said, Why didn't you thank Allah? Not the middle one? No, the wisest one, the best one, right,
the most knowledgeable one, color or sell to whom not the middle one here. So therefore, mutton was
00:42:57 -->
00:43:02
SATA. Primarily it means the best nation
00:43:03 -->
00:43:28
it means that most excellent nation, secondarily, it means what in the sense that it's not two
extremes. Yes, this is also a valid meaning, but not the primary meaning the primary meaning is, you
are the pinnacle of all nations. And it's the perfect time to demonstrate this because you're not
going to face the people that have the hood you're not going to face the Qibla of the nosara we have
given you the best Qibla
00:43:29 -->
00:43:38
mutton was sorta here means the best direction and that is the problem of Mecca, which is the
original pillar of mankind. Now,
00:43:40 -->
00:43:57
when the prophet SAW Selim turned the tables in his own Masjid, and the back became that well that
is the back the back of him the front, right. Whatever was the back became the front. The Prophet
system then commanded that the back of the masjid which used to be the front be covered up by a
shade
00:43:59 -->
00:44:36
and this covering up the moisture, the processing did not have a roof until probably the fourth or
fifth year of the hedgerow. Remember this point I told you this, when the provinces have built
domestic It was no roof. Can you imagine if we had imagined you today with no roof right? Can you
imagine the the problems that would happen? Sun, the heat of Medina when it rained, it would be no,
no covering. Eventually they put a roof of date palms as we said, but it was not waterproof. And
even in the sixth seventh year of the Hydra, it rained a normal bond and the Prophet system was
praying and the whole floor was mud and he lowered his head straight into the mud for such that
00:44:36 -->
00:45:00
alright and and I said well I saw the mud on his face and his nose when he went into the sand. So up
until much later on, then the roof finally became watertight but at the time of the process of him,
it remained at the end they put they put the the date palm leaves in the beginning there was nothing
the profitsystem ordered that the the what used to be the front be covered up
00:45:00 -->
00:45:40
Why? Because the number of people who were emigrating to Medina became too much to absorb by the
people of Medina. So they needed a shelter. You see the first batch of immigrants, every one of them
was given a household. And the household basically adopted him for a while, took care of him until
he got his own feet and then sent him his way, right. However, as the number of converts and the
number of mahadji rune and the number of people coming increased, the profit system could not handle
all of them. So what happened, a public shelter was built, and the shelter became known as the sofa.
00:45:42 -->
00:45:52
The shelter became known as the sofa, and the people who remain there and live there became a
headless sofa, the people of the sofa and
00:45:53 -->
00:46:36
the people of the sofa have a special status in our Syrah books, they have entire chapters dedicated
to them. And the reason for this is because their knowledge and their piety and their taqwa are
exemplary. They are, in many cases, the elite of the Sahaba. And that is because the people of the
sofa had given up everything. And they're living basically in a public shelter. They're living in
the master that the prophets are set up with nothing because they gave it all up for the sake of
Islam. By the way, as we said, the sofa did not begin until probably after butter, right. So
remember, the sofa is built probably around Ramadan, but it takes place in Ramadan. So the concept
00:46:36 -->
00:47:16
of Allah sofa begins after Ramadan, right up until Ramadan, every convert that comes he can be
accommodated, every Mohammed that comes he can be accommodated. But eventually the Sahaba are
saturated. Eventually, the houses that can cater for multiple people, not every house can cater
multiple people, right? Not everybody can take on a guest, those who could are saturated. So what is
to be done, that was when the sofa was built. So the profitsystem spent a lot of energy and a lot of
dedication on the people of the sofa. And there are many narrations about the problems and the
difficulties that they faced. So much so that many of the people of the sofa did not even have
00:47:16 -->
00:47:40
proper clothes to wear. So much so that there's actually an embarrassing Hadith about this, but it
shows you how poor they were, that the Prophet system, he had to make a general commandment to the
women, that he said, Oh, women, do not raise your heads up from such that until some time has gone.
Because the people of the sofa when they went into such that they're out to be exposed.
00:47:41 -->
00:48:20
End, they didn't even have enough of what we would call basically even shorts, they didn't even have
that. I mean, that's how poor they were. such that when they went into such that, obviously,
whatever they're wearing is going to be exposed from the back. And so there is a decrease in
quality, the process of telling the women do not raise your heads up until the men have stood up
completely. That's how little quotes the people of the sofa had. And this is why the Prophet system
gave many a hadith about taking care of the people of the sofa when his own grandchild was born at
hesson. He told Fatima that Oh, Fatima, give some charity to the people of the sofa. Some years
00:48:20 -->
00:48:55
later, when the process of God a whole batch of prisoners of war who were going to become slaves.
Fatima came complaining to the her own father and said that Yeah, but he I have so much housework to
do. And you know, it does, you know, typical, even though there were only but still father in law,
son in law, they're all the same salts of analog. The fitrah of human beings is the same, right? So
she is complaining that it has so much housework that I have to do can you give me a servant? You
just had a whole batch of people come to you, right? They're all going to be slaves? give me give me
one. So panelo What did the process to do? He got irritated? And he said, How can I give you a
00:48:55 -->
00:49:39
servant? When the people of the sofa? their stomachs are? What's a good word here just collapsed.
They have nothing to eat, and you want me to give you a servant? No, by Allah, I will sell all of
them and spend the money on them. Some kind of law. This is what he's telling his own daughter, his
daughter who's the most beloved flesh to him. He loves no one more than he loves Fatima, right.
Imagine the people of our times the rich, the dictators, these people how much they give to their
own family. They'll kill people to give to their family, right? Our Profit System. He got everything
that you want me to give you when the people of the sofa don't even have enough to eat. And he
00:49:39 -->
00:49:59
refused. And so I should never have been taught them and never once asked him for any servant after
that, even though he is supposed to be the leader here but no, no privilege just because you're
related to me. I have to take care of everybody. Right? And so the people of the sofa is on his
mind. Every time some type of event happened. He would invite the people of the sofa and it is now
00:50:00 -->
00:50:21
The famous and the semi humorous tradition of Abu hurayrah. The Abu huraira was, of course, Abu
huraira is the most famous inhabitant of the sofa. Abu huraira is the most famous person of the
sofa. And Abu huraira tells us how hungry he used to be and whatnot. In fact, double hurayrah says
that
00:50:23 -->
00:50:34
many times I will hurt as narrating this that many times, I would ask a companion a question. When
he went out of the masjid, and will law he I knew the answer better than him.
00:50:35 -->
00:50:45
But the only reason I'm asking is to drag out the conversation until I get to his doorstep. Perhaps
he might invite me in for a meal
00:50:47 -->
00:51:11
Subhan Allah, this is what a Buddha is telling us since I bought it, like I'm asking. So have a
question walking with them to drag out a response, right? just hoping to get to the doorstep so that
they say yellow that, you know, the karma, the generosity that we're supposed to have come on
Bismillah he's too he's too embarrassed to beg, obviously, right? He's, he doesn't want to beg. So
he simply asked you a question to walk with them. This is Abu hurayrah. Right.
00:51:12 -->
00:51:35
Abu huraira is the one who narrates that once the Prophet system saw me so hungry that I was weak
with exhaustion lying down in the sofa, weak with exhaustion. And so he invited me to his house with
him. And he asked, Is there anything to eat or drink? And so I actually said, yes, one of the
neighboring on side has given us a glass of milk.
00:51:36 -->
00:51:49
This is a big glass, they had a little glass of milk, right? where it became happy mush, hamdulillah
glass of milk. The Prophet says Adam said to Abu huraira Go and call the people of the sofa.
00:51:51 -->
00:52:30
There's like 3040 people there right? Above arenas narrating the heavy that fell out from I kinda
let him in booth did that I had to obey the command. He's not saying I wanted to, I had to obey the
command that I want. And I gathered together all the people of the sofa. And they came to the
prophet SAW Selim, and the process that he handed me the cup and said, go to every one of them. And
give them the cup. Right? You will be their their servant, and he had serving them. So I went to
every one of them giving the cup and I thought to myself, what will be left for me? What's the
point? I mean, he really felt like, you know, he's going to be facing from exhaustion. And this is
00:52:30 -->
00:53:10
torture now until it finished every single one of them finished. Until finally there was only me and
the Profit System left who had not drink from that cup. So the Profit System said digitus. So I sat
down. So he told me issue up drink. So I then the cop, he said was brimming as if, as if it was more
than when he handed it to me. As if it was more than we had to me. So I drank. And then he said it
should drink again. So I drank that issue up the process of knows exactly this is what like, if I
could call this a practical joke, I would but it is a type of joke. It is a type of playing with Abu
huraira that he is just taking it out on him that you think I'm not going to take care of you avoid
00:53:10 -->
00:53:37
or you think I'm gonna let you you know starve when you're the one doing this. So he said Masada you
could really kept on telling me it's rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. Until I said, well law, he almost
interval law, there's not a single space left in my stomach that I have left for this milk, right.
Then after all of these 3040 people had drunk, the profitsystem took the cup the last and then he
drank from it, this is 100 suffer, right. And of course, we already said that. The other sofa were
00:53:38 -->
00:54:22
people whom the profit system would always be concerned about, like, we just had one cup of milk and
he wants to give it to the people of the sofa. And it is said that one of the Sahaba and he came up
with an idea. And he said why not anytime we get some food or some we harvest some dates, we give a
little bit of it to the people of the sofa. And they said this is a great idea the process of
approved, so a string was hung between the two pillars of the sofa. And any time the unsought would
harvest some dates, they would send the first batch, the first bit that the dates, they would send
it and they would put it on this string, they would put it on the string so that the people could
00:54:22 -->
00:55:00
eat without having to beg for it. And by the way, this string or this custom of having this lasted
up until this century, up until basically the 40s and 50s. Some of my older teachers tell me that
this was something it was well known up until the 40s and 50s that there was a string that food
would be put on it for those who couldn't afford. So the custom of basically being generous in the
process in the masjid. It lasted for literally 1213 centuries up until modernity and then now in
modernity, they don't have that of course this is not done anymore. But it was up until a recent
time. I already said that the most famous
00:55:00 -->
00:55:11
inhabitant of the Spoofer was Abu huraira and Abu huraira deserves a few minutes of our attention
especially because of who he is. Abu huraira of course, his name is Abdullah Ahmed Mustafa
00:55:13 -->
00:55:29
Emmanuel Sokka dosi from Yemen. Abu huraira is not from Mecca, Medina he's from Yemen. And Abu
huraira came to Medina after the Battle of clayburgh, ie after the seventh year of the Hydra, and
yet he is the number one narrator of Hadith.
00:55:30 -->
00:56:16
He is the number one narrator or Hadith. And he narrated so many a hadith that even some of the next
generation said how can a boy know so much when the some of the Sahaba are longer companions than
him? Even the next generation began questioning? How could Abu hurayrah narrate so many traditions
when there's Abu Bakr and Omar there's Earth man it there's all of these people there? And our
Buddha explained himself how this is the case that what I said the Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim, the
people are complaining that I narrate too many a Hadith, but we're it not for the fact that Allah
has criticized those who withhold knowledge. In the Latino Dr. Moon Emma Anza, nominal, but you
00:56:16 -->
00:56:32
know, what criticizes those who withhold knowledge, right? Were it not for this fact, I would not
have narrated one Hadith to you. It's because I have to narrate and then he said, and I will tell
you why I know more than our brothers of the Muhammad Yunus and the answer. He said, As for them,
Oh, hi, June.
00:56:33 -->
00:57:19
They were busy throughout the day buying and selling in the streets of Medina. And as for the
Ensenada, they were busy in the cultivation and the field and harvesting. And as for me, then I
would stick to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with my hungry stomach Bishop variable. They
would be busy with the world I would stick to him with my hungry stomach, and therefore I would
memorize what they would not memorize. And by the way, Abu huraira was not poor. Abu hurayrah was
from what we will call the middle class family. We know this because eventually his mother who was
in Yemen because she was that was her only son she moved to Medina. Even though she was a pagan, she
00:57:19 -->
00:57:37
moved to Medina and she purchased a house in Medina. Abu huraira still did not go into that house
and he remained in the sofa. Why? And this shows us what is the status of the sofa and why the sofa
is so important. The sofa not only was a shelter, it became the first university of Islam.
00:57:38 -->
00:57:47
Abu huraira was living in the dormitory of the University of the prophets also. He preferred to stay
there over his own mother's house.
00:57:48 -->
00:58:27
Why because the prophets ism is in the masjid more than he is in his own house. Right? His Masjid is
attached to the house His house is attached to them as to everything takes place in the masjid.
anytime he comes out it's in the masjid. So Abu huraira basically sticks to the masjid and by
sticking to the masjid, he is able to be with the prophets of LaGuardia. He was sent him and Abu
huraira And now some of the mystical groups they read in so far as basically the soul Wolf by the
way they say that the term Sufi comes from sofa This is not true. The term Sufi comes from wall
sooth, right? It's not from sofa. The sofa means the people of the shelter. But they read this in
00:58:27 -->
00:59:03
some parallel, even avoided his life is against this Why? Because Abu O'Hara eventually became the
governor of Bahrain. And he lived a good life and the end when he was like in his 50s. So Islam
doesn't prohibit you from living a decent life. But at this time, he gave it up for the sake of
knowledge. At this time, he wanted to live a difficult life in order to gain that knowledge. And
even some of the ansara moved into the sofa. And the shows as the sofa wasn't just a free shelter.
Some of the unsung the most famous of them is humba humba has the famous story of what is Humberto
called
00:59:06 -->
00:59:07
hombre and what else
00:59:08 -->
00:59:25
washed by the angels. Humbert is the one wash has a serial melodica is called right. Let's see to
the melodica humbler is an unsavoury he has a house. He's still living in the sofa, also, Captain
America I'm sorry, what's the story of God who can remind me God the demonic
00:59:28 -->
00:59:59
book, The Battle of tebu not able to book the Battle of the book, that he was one of those why the
fella that? You know, holy foo, right. This is Gary Malik. He's an unsightly he's also a member of
the sofa. So many of the other unsought are members of the sofa. What does this show us? The sofa
isn't a freeloading shelter sofala the sofa is not just no the sofa is primarily a place of
learning. Yes, those who don't have anything, they will come to the sofa. But many of them when they
came they just decided to stick it out because they
01:00:00 -->
01:00:40
just too good. The Profit System is always there and you can benefit from him. So some of the
unsalted leave their houses move into the sofa abou that fit Bilal sohaib roomy Bella Libin, Raja
Abdullah bin Massoud, all of these are of course, Mahajan, they moved into the sofa even though they
could have had place to live. But they decided to stick it out over there. And therefore the people
of the sofa became legendary amongst the Muslims amongst the Sahaba for being the best of them, the
most in memorization of the Quran, the most intelligent, the most and knowledge in every single
major battle amongst the top of the Shahada, or the people of the sofa,
01:00:41 -->
01:00:57
beginning with whether there's one or two who are actually, it seems like so far was instituted
maybe a week or two before but it seems as if there was one or two because there are people that are
mentioned as being both sofa and bedri which means that there were then the rudiments of the sofa
began around by the time
01:00:59 -->
01:01:00
the dub the Battle of
01:01:02 -->
01:01:42
the hyper I mean, the Battle of hyper conquest of Mecca, the Battle of read the words of ryda so
many of the people of suffer died, that Romo hapa wanted to compile the Quran because the people of
suffer died. Think about the status of suffering and how it's associated with the Quran. The reason
why the Quran is compiled, Eliza will did of course, but the reason why is what so many of the
people of sofa diet you all know the story about the competition, the Koran, the in the wars, who
did that with the abubaker sending out to Muslim al Qaeda in particular.
01:01:43 -->
01:01:49
Many of the memorizes of the Quran died, many of them from the sofa.
01:01:50 -->
01:01:58
And of course, the sofa is wasn't a permanent university with the depth of the process of the sofa
that said it finished. So the graduates of the safari limited number
01:01:59 -->
01:02:16
in the battle against Mozilla the words of the Uber read the large numbers of them in one report, it
says more than 70 of them were killed. And that's a huge number for them. And so Romar went to Abu
Bakar and said yeah, abubaker
01:02:18 -->
01:02:28
may have lost many of our era, many of the people of the sofa and they will all memorize of the
Quran, the people have the so far associated with the Quran.
01:02:30 -->
01:02:47
And I'm worried that unless you do something, if more of the Quran die, we won't have the Quran.
Because remember, at that time, the must have had not been compiled completely. And so aboubaker
basically agreed to compile the Quran, primarily because the people have so far died.
01:02:48 -->
01:02:54
A large group of them that shows us the status of the people of the sofa. And
01:02:56 -->
01:03:32
one final point that will mention inshallah we have announcements to make words brother it is here.
He asked me for some time at the end partier is outside. Okay. He wants to add some time for
announcements. One final point that will mention, oh, by the way, how many people were in the people
that were in the sofa. Of course, the people of sofa were always moving up and down quantity wise.
At times, there were five or 10 a time they were up to 70. So the people have so far kept on
varying, and most of them would stay for a week or two a few months. Anytime a delegation came and
they didn't have a house to stay, they would stay in the sofa. It is reported that sometimes towards
01:03:32 -->
01:04:10
the end of the life of the process that some people would come just to learn Islam. People were from
the far villages the far Bedouin places. They have to learn the Quran and learn the field and learn
how to pray and go back to their people. Well, the sofa became their university, the sofa became the
place to stay. Even Masood says, anytime somebody came to us, the prophet system would assign one of
us to the newcomer to teach him the Quran and Sunnah. Right? So the university is foreign, basically
to teach the people and that is the sofa, we will teach him and then he will go back to his people.
All of this is taking place in the sofa. And the sofa remained up until the time of the Prophet solo
01:04:10 -->
01:04:21
salams death. And then of course after this, the software did not retain that status that it used to
retain. So initially, then therefore before we move on one final story and then we'll move on.
01:04:22 -->
01:04:33
The covering of the processor system was only at the back of the question for the people of the
sofa. And this shows us he prioritized them over even the regular mousseline
01:04:34 -->
01:04:59
because the regular was sadly did not have a roof for many years. But he was more concerned about
them because they're living in the masjid. Whereas the rest of the people are just coming and going
away. So the first roof to be built was actually the roof of the people of the sofa. By the way as
for the the raised platform in our time, you all know that if you go to the provinces of the masjid,
there's a raised platform and the back of it right
01:05:00 -->
01:05:34
And they say that is the place of the sofa. In fact, it appears that the sofa was ahead of this
point, not at that particular point, right. And also the sofa was not raised platform as well, this
is another one of those myths, the sofa was at the same level as the ground. It wasn't raised up,
there's no reason to raise it up. The sofa was at the same level as the ground. And so this is just
a myth that when you go to the house and people say, this is where the sofa was, no, that's not the
case. That's just a modern construction. One final story and then inshallah there's an announcement
to be made. Interesting story not related to the sofa. But it just shows us
01:05:37 -->
01:06:03
the reality of the fifth or the human inclination that we learned that Around this time, one of the
most elder, elderly people of Medina converted to Islam, and his name was slated Matt cinnamal.
Strange name, his name was cinema. And cinema was the only Hanif that we have authentically narrated
from the time of Medina, who can remind me what's the honey, go back many months? Yes, in the back.
01:06:08 -->
01:06:09
So what does he What does the honey have done?
01:06:11 -->
01:06:55
They had abandoned idolatry. And they said they're going to worship upon the religion of Ibrahim,
even though they don't know what it is, but we're gonna be ahead if we mentioned some handcuffs and
Makkah, five or 10. We didn't mention any in Medina, the only No, we're not saying there weren't any
more but the one that we have recorded was scleroderma. So cinema was of the Hanif of Medina of
yesterday. And it is narrated that when he with the process of him came, he was over 100 years old,
one of the oldest people of Medina, when he was a young man. So this is even before the birth of the
process from when he was a young man, he had just like the hoonah of Makkah, openly rejected the
01:06:55 -->
01:07:38
idolatry of the people of Medina. And he had decided to accept Christianity. But then right before
he converted, he said, No, Christianity doesn't make any sense either. I'm just going to be upon the
the ways of Ibrahim alayhis salam. And so he remained praying in his own way. And even his Hawk
mentioned that, in fact, he would also perform a hostel after Geneva. And he would even tell his
women to take a bath after their menses, which means he had some idea of the shady area around him.
He still is following that shady app. And he will say that he's used to say to the people, I will
not worship bureau gods, I will worship the Lord of Ibrahim, which is exactly what the NFL said in
01:07:38 -->
01:08:18
Mecca. And even as he mentions a lot of poetry from him, which we don't have the time or even the
skill to translate where he's praising. How do you feel he's praising, worshiping Allah, he's
criticizing the idols. And he stayed amongst the kurush in Makkah, before the coming of the process
and for many years, but he didn't find what he wanted there. So he returned back and he became a
Hanif when the Prophet system emigrated, he was still alive the very last few weeks or months of his
life, and Allah azza wa jal blessed him to convert. And then he passed away shortly afterwards. And
these are one of those beautiful stories, we don't have much more information, right. But it's one
01:08:18 -->
01:08:55
of those beautiful stories that for 120 years, they said he was waiting for the truth. And it is as
if literally illustrata just gave him that. Just that brief meeting with the Prophet system, right
towards the last year of his life basically says, If Allah stretched his life out, waiting for the
truth to come to him, because he was that sincere, and he got the blessing of being a Sahabi. So
he's mentioned as a Sahabi, he got the blessing of being of those who accepted Islam, and he died a
natural death of old age before any battle before anything. And really we have no other information
about him. But it's one of those stories that is beautiful in its own way. And it shows us that
01:08:55 -->
01:09:12
those who are sincere Allah subhanho wa Taala will bless them in that sincerity. Next week we'll
talk about the prelude to the Battle of butter and what happened before the battle but they're
working up our way to the Battle of butter. Next Wednesday will be our final Cyril class for the
summer.
01:09:13 -->
01:09:37
I will be then traveling and then coming back end of June 1 of July, and then it will have some
talks about Ramadan because Ramadan is going to be second week of July basically. So next week is
the final week of sera for the summer. Then we will resume Syrah after Ramadan. before Ramadan,
we'll have a few classes about chocolate Ramadan and whatnot shall love data. Any questions before
we hand it over to Brother Ali? Yes.
01:09:44 -->
01:09:47
The majority of our headers so far, did not have their families.
01:09:48 -->
01:09:57
Those who were married voluntarily decided to live in the sofa. People like Abu hurayrah decided not
to get married while they were in the sofa.
01:09:58 -->
01:09:59
So we have a school
01:10:00 -->
01:10:23
We have others who had families, but they're voluntarily remaining in the sofa because they want the
sort of the profits of the lorries and they want the companionship of the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
Of course the sofa was for men only you cannot have women, you know, sleeping in the masjid like
this. It was for men only. And so the priority for those men was to learn Islam. Most of the people
of the sofa were there temporarily.
01:10:24 -->
01:10:31
Most of them, some of them decided to become permanent and the most famous amongst them was Abu
Ghraib. Okay.
01:10:36 -->
01:10:37
The obligation
01:10:39 -->
01:10:43
Do you have an exempt because I don't think the sooner they can abrogate the bond The other way
01:10:44 -->
01:10:44
is
01:10:54 -->
01:11:44
the issue of Suna abrogating the Koran is one that goes back to Stella for the roadmap in muda hip
the former di m have different opinions about this, the position that you are saying was held by one
of the famous Imams and it is a legitimate opinion. But the other there are more than others allowed
the sun even to abrogate the Quran. So there is the example of level CLE what is that we'll see yet
anyway. This is UC como la Viola decom that Eliza just says do not use equal lawsuits as Bopara when
death comes to you. Then write your will see right and it was meant for the widest and you were the
one the idea came down it was meant for the widest because this was before Nyssa was revealed then
01:11:44 -->
01:11:49
Nyssa was revealed and it didn't technically abrogate that I
01:11:50 -->
01:11:58
then the profits because it's just a combination you can still have the will see and you can still
have the shares. Nowhere does the Quran say levels the attorney wildish
01:11:59 -->
01:12:25
right so you could put both of these together and say, okay, the Quran has one eighth for my wife, I
want to be generous Mashallah give her another 10% do you see that is possible if you take only the
one but the Prophet says that I've said that we'll see. What is right. So this is the example that
is given by a man while equivalent. This is 11 madhhab Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Lu Eva
Misha, Colima Shafi, Rahim, Allah tala, whatever you like a minimum payment.
01:12:28 -->
01:12:29
That's
01:12:42 -->
01:12:49
the majority of Sunni scholars consider this ayah to be the primary I have
01:12:51 -->
01:12:53
had to have been Abbas, who we are and who had
01:12:54 -->
01:13:24
the Shia and the mortar Zilla. Have we left of this ayah and over there that we that is actually
what you're saying that I it doesn't mean I overhear. As for and so you have to realize this is a
theological issue. I had a son who Elijah was another police faculty and he was he by the way. This
is he might have had a sooner right corner from if he hadn't mortiser which we are colome they said
there is no NASA and the main evidence that they used is this if
01:13:31 -->
01:13:43
you always ask questions, I don't mind but you give us into other topics. Yes, I have the Quran have
been forgotten by Allah azza wa jal is command noon see her there are a number of ayat
01:13:44 -->
01:14:09
that and again you're getting this is perhaps not best to talk about now bas come to me after Salah
but yes, there are authentic hadith that a number of Sahaba forgot I had simultaneously in one
night, and they all came to the house of the prophet SAW Selim. And they asked him what happened. We
couldn't recite it last night. And the Prophet system said that Allah azza wa jal took it up last
night.
01:14:10 -->
01:14:18
This is authentically narrated. Okay, Muslim Obama's final question sisters, any questions? Yes, in
the back. Go ahead.
01:14:36 -->
01:15:00
No, no, no, I think you misunderstood. I said. There were more yahood in Medina. So there are more
Abrahamic people, right in Medina, because the people of MK did not allow basically there were no
Jews and Christians living in Makkah. There were no Jews and Christians living in Mecca. As for
Medina, we already mentioned three, four weeks ago that
01:15:00 -->
01:15:20
In fact, the houde were the ones who first settled there. Then the ocean Ridge came. So the whole
dynamics was different in Medina. So they were more I didn't say more bona fide more if I were in
Makkah, more hoonah thought were in Makkah, but more actually keytab were in Medina insha Allah with
this
