			Today's hotter, I thought I'd do something slightly different. We speak a lot about the biographies
of famous people, famous scholars, and almost invariably they happen to be men. Today let's do a
biography of a famous female in our history. And a person who has left an interesting Mark, if you
like and interesting anecdotes around her. And this is the great granddaughter of our Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Not many people know about her life and ties but she is
somebody that is well known in the books of history, and she has gone through a number of tragedies
and also left her mark as well. Her name is sukeena bint Al Hussein Ibn Ali ibn Abi Talia, Radi
		

			Allahu Taala and who sukeena bint Al Hussain. So this is for saints daughter Rhodiola Guan her
saying you all know the grandson of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Hussein's daughter
is sukeena. So in today's brief, Hatha will give you some highlights of her life. And just a bit of
an academic note that we don't know that much about her life and even some of the details, there's
sometimes you know, two different opinions. So what I'm going to say is one narrative if you go to
the books, you might find another opinion, but for these authors, we just have to be at least one
narrative. So So kinda been told Hussein, in fact, even her birth and even the marriage of her
		

			parents is itself a story. It is said that once it Rhodiola one was sitting in the messiness of
Ramadan hardtop, convertible hardtop, and it was sitting with Hassan and Hussein and a man came into
the gathering. Hassan and Hussain are young children. They're not married yet. A man came to the
gathering, tall, handsome, dressed very elegantly, they didn't recognize who he was. And he walked
through the crowd, as a person of dignity, like he's coming straight to remoto hottub de la Juan,
and the crowd becomes quiet, like who is this man? And he's literally walking all the way to our
modal de la Juan. And he says to him, the greetings of Jamelia, right so he doesn't say Salaam
		

			Alaikum. And Omar says, Who are you? And he says, I am immortal is the chieftain of the Bernal
Kinder by the way for the Arabs here this is not the famous image of case of the poet toughened up
key media crabby Roman city, that's another image of places before Islam that's the JD poet in
Madonna faces a famous name this is one of the people named emerald place, his tribe the blue Kinder
or you can say the Keylab tribe you have from it is a Debian Hadith other adopted son of the Prophet
system, quote unquote, you have also the here and kalbi, these are the people from that tribe. And
this tribe was known for its handsomeness. That's why when God would come, he would take the form of
		

			who the * Kelby right so the amongst the Arabs, this tribe was known, it was taller than most
Arabs, and they had this elegance and, you know, demeanor about them. So this is a man who's the
chieftain, and he's said to me to the club, I am a Christian, and I have heard of Islam, and I want
to embrace it. So explain Islam to me. So I'm a little hotter rhodiola, Juan explained Islam to him,
and he said the shahada on the spot, and when he said the shahada, remember hottub said, hand me the
spear. So you know, in Victorian England, what they do is they take the knife for the sword, and the
night too, right? Okay, in Arabia, they would take a spear, and they would invest an office in you.
		

			So he said, hand me the Spear of investing, like basically this guy, I'm gonna appoint him, and he
appointed him the governor of that entire region. One of the people sit in the audience said, I have
never seen a man who didn't offer a single rocker that was appointed a governor in the time of Omar
other than this man. He hadn't even said a prayer yet. But because of his demeanor, his dignity, his
background, or whatever thought made him the governor immediately. And so he returned to his
community, a governor, when he left it to the ALA one went outside the masjid with his sons, Hassan
and Hussein. And he said, I am the son in law of the prophets, aside from the bundle price, why
		

			should it be thought and I want my children and yours to have the bond of marriage, right? In those
days, that's how they did it. The fathers were just talking, the children followed along as you're
aware, right. So MLK said what a noble family How can I say no, I give my daughters to has an upper
St. Okay. So in my case, this noble chieftain, the governor, he gave his one of his daughters to has
another law one and another to her saying at the time
		

			They were young when they got older they got married. So Rabab Binti embro of case married her
saying Rhodiola Juan from this marriage came to girls raka yeah and suka Inna. And so Cana was the
younger of the two of the year and sukeena. So Roca yeah and so Cana are born in Medina and because
of the OMA year the revolt the Almighty has come and they you know capture Medina as you know they
tried to force the the oath of allegiance and as you are aware 100% of the Allah Who did he ever
give the oath to do my yes yes or no? Does he ever hidden he never gave the oath to the miners right
so we're saying oh the Allah Han fled to Where did he go? MCE? Right, who was in charge of MCE at
		

			the time
		

			of delivering azubi So her saying no the Allahu and spend some time in Makkah. And Rokia and sukeena
are raised a few for a period of time a few years in Makkah. And this is where we begin to hear so
sukeena is now probably any preteen, probably like young lady, not quite a lady yet right? yet old
enough to engage in conversation talking what not and her reputation begins to spread. Her
grandmother is Fatima Binti Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam right? Her grandmother is Fatima
her grandfather's ID and the prophecy ism is a great grandfather. And she became known in the entire
city as a very sharp witted very intelligent, and also it is known that she was a beautiful lady and
		

			how can she not be when she is from Bernal Hashem and her ancestors are as they are. And Hussein
Rhodiola. Juan would come allow sukeena to accompany him. In some gatherings, she would respond and
speak and diversify. And she became known even as a young child as a poet tests she would make lines
of poetry even as a young lady, and she became known for her entire life as being of the most famous
poets of her generation. And of course, she's a young lady growing up, of course, she becomes the
talk of the town and the eligible bachelors want to marry her. And one of the most aspiring
claimants was none other than the brother of Abdullah bin disobeyed the youngest brother and that is
		

			Musa ibn azubi, not Urawa there's another brother Otowa famous Urawa. So there's lots of brothers
Abdullah Musa, Vedas, the Sahaba, the son of the Sahaba, grandson of the Sahaba right is obey the
Hawala do the processing of his son is Abdullah Abdullah born the first year in Medina, Abdullah his
younger brother Musa, who's not as a hobby, okay, he didn't see the Prophet system his younger
brother Musab became infatuated with so Cana and by the way, you know, a lot of us have this image
of early Islam as if they're not human beings. What's wrong with wanting to marry a pious lady? This
infatuation doesn't involve secret night trips, or, you know, is just her lineage and her
		

			personality. There is no private meeting between the two. But all of most ABS friends know he's
infatuated, he wants to marry sukeena. So they tease him, why don't you go apply for the position
and you knock on the door of the alarm on and save, and most he was known for his whole life, he was
known as being a man who exuded a sense of of extreme annual Rujuta or manliness, like he never
wanted to be humiliated. He had this sense of I am the man so he said to his friends, if Hussein or
the Allahu Allah says no to me, how can I possibly show my face anywhere? Right? He was so
embarrassed about rejection, that he did not propose to sukeena because of this that what if what if
		

			he says no, how can I you know, go around and show my face so he had that sense of of pride in him
that any highlight right nothing wrong with this like, I don't want anybody to say no to me,
eventually, percent or the Allah who engages sukeena to her cousin, that's Abdullah ibn Al Hassan,
so Hassan son, right, so her first cousin, and they marched to Kufa Karbala you understand Catawba
is happening. Abdullah and Sakina have not yet consummated the marriage. There's simply as if they
could pick it up. So there is an agreement that they're going to get married. So Abdullah does not
actually live with Sakina. So they go to Karbala. You know, what happens in Karbala, right? The
		

			entire clan of W Hashem, you know, 70 plus people went there, all of the men were massacred, as
you're aware. So Qeynos in the tent, she's hearing everything, right. She knows exactly what's going
on. She's the one the wounded are coming back in, she's treating them and, you know, witnessing
what's happening and then her and the women of the tent I mean, when when finally the battle is
over, the troops, you know, put open up the tent, they shouldn't have done that and they barge in
and they say marched to the palace, you know of Knizia then Kufa and they marched to Cana barefoot
barefoot. She is the great granddaughter of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam they marched to
		

			Abdullah ibn Ziad palace, and there there is threatened of killing even Zayn and I'll be the you
know, the one son that was left of her sandal the Allahu and he was sick in the tent, right? So this
is sukeena his older brother bye
		

			From a different mother, half brother so Qeynos older brother from a different mother. So there's
even talk of killing him and it is said that so Cana spoke to Ibn Ziad so Cana and she is a tween
She's literally not even a full lady yet she's you know 1112 years old and she says a very harsh
statement are you not content with although the blood is it not enough all the blood of the family
of the process of you've killed aren't you happy? Haven't you done enough damage and it is even said
that she held her brother that you dare kill him. You have to go through me. This is a young child
or young young girl and her bravery is being demonstrated by the ones who murdered her entire family
		

			and she's in that palace and it is even said that one of the rough Ian's of the troops, he begged
Dibnah Zia to take Sakina as a Javadi you know if you get the point and even as yet at least had
some one line he drew that I'm not going to do that. So they sent them the family to Damascus and
they're easy to set gifted them honor them sent them back to to Medina. And so So Cana returned to
Medina, Abdullah Zubaydah is now getting more and more active. His younger brother finally proposes
there's no person anymore, right? So they get married Subhanallah This is a type of love story in
his own way. So eventually they get married. So the first marriage was not consummated with Abdullah
		

			Ebner Hessen. So Musab Ibanez obeyed and sukeena get married. And it seems like this was the
happiest time of her life. They had some children. Her, Abdullah Abdullah Abu Zubaydah made his
younger brother, the governor of Iraq, he lived a few years as a successful Yanni warrior and
fighter and governor and most of the younger brother was the right hand of Abdullah bin azubi. He
was the one who defended the you know, Dominion of Amazonia did everything his brother wanted. And
so the Ommaya decided to take him out. He's now the big guy up north in the cufon region. And so
they send the famous hedgehog news of his everybody should know his name, the infamous general and
		

			he makes it a point to attack most of them in his obeyed in a famous battle. And sukeena is again
President Subhan Allah, and so she loses her husband in another battle against the OMA yet and also
just like, you know, her saying, Oh, the Allahu Allah and his head was cut off. So to Musa there was
a time frame or the bill, I know, it's shocking to hear there was a timeframe where this pagan
practice became common in some circles, you would cut off the head of the enemy and send it to the
palace. This became common for a few years, then it became uncommon after that, but for a while that
was common. So most subs had also was SIP severed. And so Cana saw this and whatnot. So can you
		

			imagine so Cana by the way, saw the bodies of precentral, the loved one in the entire family outside
the tent, she saw that and it just said that she touched it and kissed it and whatnot. Now she sees
the body of her husband Musab and also the father of her children. After this, it appears that her
marriages were not of that nature, either her husbands died. So perhaps for marriages after this, we
don't know exactly how many. And by the way, those days, if a lady was single, nobody cared whether
she was widowed or what not a single lady she was proposed to it was understood that somebody has to
take care of her right. The concept of a lady being single was very rare. And in our culture, as
		

			you're aware, it's very different. Like once a lady becomes widowed or divorced, her loss, nobody
can touch her. But in that society, they understood somebody has to take care of her somebody has to
marry her. There was no stigma attached to marriage remarriage. It is said she had four maybe even
five according to one book six husbands. Of course, they include an Hessen sorry, I'm not living the
husband home never got actual knickers done except for the kids pick it up. But after most of the
number of husbands now here. So kindness personality is shown again, we have a we have an image. Oh,
I forgot to mention a very important thing we learned as well when she was growing up in Makkah.
		

			This is something very interesting, guys. We have a very, very naive notion of reality. One of the
things who Cana was known for can you believe it was a new hairstyle that she invented. And it was
called Altura. Asuka near the so cania hairstyle as a young lady 1112 13 years old. That's what
young ladies do what you expect them to do. Right? She's at her home. And she she had very long
beautiful heritage that so she made a certain type of knot and a certain hairstyle. And the ladies
of Makkah began imitating so Qeynos hairstyle and it became the Vogue so much so the books of
history mentioned some men began imitating because back then men had long hair as well. Some men
		

			began doing it. The governor in Medina or Madonna Abdulaziz said if I catch any man doing this, I'm
gonna whip him because it's effeminate. Let the women do it. No problem. Point is who could have
ever imagined that the great granddaughter of the profitsystem is going to start something in
fashion. Think about that, right? That she was that type of personality. She wanted to have that so
she had a different hairstyle called a total zucchini. It's known in the books of history. In any
case, back to her story as an adult, we forgot to mention this
		

			As a teenager, she went through a number of you know, marriages, some of our husbands passed away.
And one or two she divorced. So one famous incident. So she married the grandson of Earthman
Rhodiola. One. And by the way, this notion that some groups have that there was tension between Aldo
de la Juan and between obok on Earth man, well, like it's not true at all. You just look at history,
how can it be that sukeena is marrying the grandson of Earthman or the Allahu, and how can it be?
There is no problem, right? There's no issues between them. So the he dies, you know, a natural that
then another person proposed son of Paul had been arrested at one of the action was shut up, but he
		

			was known for be a very stingy man, and he was very wealthy, but very stingy. So So Cana made
conditions upon him. This is one of the books of the great granddaughter of the Prophet system. She
said to this man, if you want to marry me, number one, you shall not marry any woman besides me. You
shall not touch a lady besides me, as long as I'm your wife, she put that condition right. Nowadays
books are filled discussed, she put that condition number two, she had other conditions as well that
I will have access to wealth because he was a very stingy man, etc, etc. It's so happened this man
		

			did take a milk I mean, a giardia, right. So Cana found out about it. And she dragged him to the
court and the judge. And she said Hamas first Kanika and I get my mind Maha back because he
disobeyed the contract. Literally, this is the great granddaughter of the Prophet system. And it is
said that when the judge was there, silent, not knowing what to do, she turned to the husband. And
she said, to take a good look at me, because this is the last time you will ever see me after this
the house. And that's the end the marriage ended over there. It is said after this that she remained
a single lady. She didn't get married after that, but she became known for her poetry. And her
		

			poetry is recorded in the books of history. So much so that some of the most famous poets of the
time people like jetty and for us duck if you know your Arabic poetry, you've all heard of Faraz
duck. And these names for us duck would make it a point to visit the house of sukeena from the
outside and exchange poetry. And it is said that in one occasion after hedge, the famous poets of
Arabia gathered, and they decided to hold the competition, and they chose sukeena to be the judge.
So Cana is going to decide who's the best Shire amongst us. That was her reputation that she's going
to be the the hakam between us, and she lived an apolitical life after this and she was known for
		

			her generosity and her wit, and she passed away in the year 117 of the hijra, she was born 49 to set
some say 4749 Hegira she was born and she passed away 117 Hijra and she is buried in Buckley a lot
of blood with most of the the Ubuntu abdominopelvic and this shows us really Subhanallah that our
conception of the past you know the people lived it's actually very different than reality. And when
you read books of history, it actually makes you more broad minded and makes you understand that the
versions of society we think existed never really existed. Nothing wrong with a lady showing, you
know, her talent in that manner. She's properly dressed you everybody knows her. There's no nothing
		

			negative going on. Her personality was known. She did certain things in fashion. She did certain
things in poetry. She participated not on the battlefield but she was with her saying oh the Allahu
on you know, and Catawba and with her husband Mossad but obviously not armed to the hill, but still
participating in her own way and she left her mark on history. So this is a name that we should be
aware of the great granddaughter of the Prophet sallallahu it was set up May Allah subhana wa Tada
have mercy on her and on all of them Izaak moolah hit Send I want to come back to lawyer Baraka
Yeah, man
