Yasir Qadhi – The History of Malik Ibn Dinar First Masjid in India

			Charlotte today we have a short halter. I'll introduce you to one of the main famous figures of
early Islam and he is one of the ascetics that is known in the books of history, and his name is
Malik Ibn dinar. And his story is a beautiful story and there are certain benefits and for what we
can derive from it. Who is Maddie Cuban. Deena Maddie Cuban Dina is at Tabori. He's not just a
hobby. He's a Tabori. He was born in the era of the Sahaba and he studied under some of the Sahaba
it has said that maybe even he saw had been Abbas as a child, but he studied with undisciplined
Malik and he studied with the senior Tabby ruins of bizarre and he became a middle level tabula,
		

			tabula and themselves levels depending on their era. So you have the great era of the tabula rasa No
bossley Then you have the next generation like Malika Bundeena so this is Malik Ibn Dino after the
death of an Hassanal boss at the famous, you know, scholar of Buster Miley Kimmy Dennard became the
main icon of religiosity of Zeus of asceticism, and he was known for not only religion but primarily
for a bother for worship. He was an icon of the city in terms of his lifestyle, very simple, very
frugal, in terms of constant worshipping Allah subhana wa Tada always being in the masjid. Anybody
wanted to see him he would go to the masjid find him there. He once famously remarked, had it not
		

			been for the fact that I have to break my will do and do will do outside I will be sitting here day
and night he would want to stay in the masjid. And there are many beautiful anecdotes about him. You
can look up in any book I'll just mentioned some of them. Once it is narrated that a thief came and
broke into the house of McKibbon dinar. And he was in the corner doing thicket and the thief did not
notice. And he scoured the house, he couldn't find anything to steal. There was nothing to steal in
the house of Monica Medina. So then Malik saw and said to him, You didn't find anything of this
dunya Can I gift you something better? So the thief became shocked and he became embarrassed? What
		

			is it? What can you give me better than this? He said, Do will do and start with the into Hadoop. So
the thief fell so shy he did we'll do pray to her. The Madonna Fajr was called and Malika Medina
want to pray Fajr with the thief, somebody was shocked to that he saw him who is this guest you
never have any guests who is this person with you. Malik in Medina said this was a person who came
to steal something from us. But we ended up stealing from Him meaning his betta cloud, we stole it
from him. And now we are going to set out a budget Maliki Medina as well. He was a person who earned
his livelihood. His it is was by writing the Quran, he would write the Quran. And in those days, you
		

			know, the Quran had to be written down. And then you know, obviously, sell the Quran the copy that
he had written, and he would then live off of that it would take him four months to write one most
half, four months to write one most half. And then as soon as somebody purchased the most half, he
would take that money and he would immediately go to the grocery store, not even take it home and
leave it as a deposit so that he could just purchase food and he didn't have to touch money. So the
grocery store had a credit with him based on the money he would come every once in a while the money
would come in pause here footnote the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the subject or
		

			the profession that has the most right that you pay for it is the Quran. Hadith isn't Buhari and
some people think, Oh, how can I pay for the Quran, you're paying for the Quran teacher or you're
paying for somebody writing the Quran, I will prophesy some said if you're going to pay something
for anything. The most blessed thing to pay for is the Quran. By this hadith our scholars derived
that the Prophet CISM opened the door for getting a payment for that which might be religion, you
keep your Nia sincere for the sake of Allah but if you're gonna get paid, then the best thing to get
paid for is the Quran is a Hadith. So we pay our Quran teachers and we pay people who write the
		

			Quran and we buy the Quran from the Messiah from the people all of this is completely jazz so mighty
given the non word earn his livelihood by writing the Quran, he considered this to be the most noble
livelihood and as I said he would not even keep the money at home the thief would come there is
nothing there is nothing there. Once the Almighty has appointed a governor for my for a busser he
was from busted right once you may as appointed the governor and the governor walked in with fine
garments, boasting his chest puffed out walking like this through the streets. And Monica Medina saw
him and said, Do you not fear Allah? This type of boastful walking is not allowed in Islam, unless
		

			you are on the battlefield and you have to show the enemy in that case yes, your walk like that.
Otherwise you do not puff your chest and walk like this. So this OMA your prince became insulted. He
said, Do you not know who I am? Do you not know who I am? And Maliki dinar? Said Yes Wallahi I know
who you are. You are a creature who has created from a fluid that is despicable even to mention, and
your end result is going to be a corpse
		

			That is so stressful. Nobody will want to smell it or see it. And in the middle, you are a sack
carrying your own defecation. That's who you are. Now, what are you going to do about that?
Literally? So yeah, I know exactly who you are. Your beginning is something embarrassing to talk
about your end is disgusting. Nobody wants to see it. And in the middle, you are carrying your own
weight, you're gonna go to the toilet. In other words, when somebody tried to be arrogant by his
wealth, by his prestige and pride might have put him in his place, like, Who do you think you are?
We're all but who are them. We are all created beings. Now, there are many interesting stories and
		

			many beautiful things about you know, Monica Medina, but the main key point I wanted to bring up is
that Malik mdnr was not like this for his whole life. No, he was not like this for his whole life.
He actually had a very non religious beginning. He was a member of the paramilitary elite of the
government, you know, they had, you will call them the Secret Service. Okay. So when the government
didn't like somebody, they would send the Secret Service to arrest roughed them up, maybe even
killed them, you know, that, you know, we all have them in our country's back of you know, talking
about he was of that group of people, and these are considered and they are still considered the
		

			worst of the worst. Everybody despises them. They have sold their deen and duniya. For the sake of
money they have sold their is for the sake of a paycheck, right? This is the worst of the worst, the
lowest of the low. And he grew up as a young man. He was of that group of people. And he would drink
constantly. He was a drunkard he would drink as a young man. And Allah blessed him with a child, a
daughter, and he loved this daughter immensely. The daughter passed away at the age of two. The
daughter passed away. The dying of the daughter the death of the daughter triggered him into
depression and drinking more. That's what usually happens when you don't have Eman, right? The
		

			Depression that he went into, he became a complete drunkard. And one night he was drinking and he
fell asleep and he didn't even pray Orisha back then even the drunkards prayed a little bit. Yeah,
there's different hero back then. Right. So in his drunken stupor, he didn't even pray a lot in
Asia, and he went to sleep. In the dream. He had a dream that night. And this is the story of him
flipping over. In the dream, he saw that he was in front of a massive furnace, and the furnace
became hotter and hotter, and the fire became unbearable. So he turned around and he began to flee.
But wherever he ran, the furnace was right behind him. He couldn't run away wherever he's running.
		

			The furnace is right there. Then he saw a man in the dream. Very beautiful, handsome, very
impeccable clothes. And he thought this man can save me. So he said to the man oh man, use lead
seemed like Raju saw that a good man saved me from this furnace. The man said, I am too weak, I
cannot save you. And in the dream, then he's going and he sees his two year old daughter, two year
old daughter and the daughter recites to him a verse of the Quran. Allah Mia needed Athena Amanu and
Tasha Kuru boom LiveChat Allah hasn't the time come for the people of iman, that their hearts soften
towards the remembrance of Allah isn't enough now, Hollis. Now hasn't the time come that your heart
		

			becomes soft? And he said yeah, Binti, you know the Quran? She said, Yes, we know it in this world
better than you. Yes, we know it. So she said you have been to my daughter. What is explained to me
what is happening? What is this fire? What is this man? So the daughter says that fire it is your
sins and it is going to engulf you. It is your sins, that good man. It is the small amount of good
deeds you've done which is not strong enough yet to save you from your own fire. You haven't made
this man strong enough your good deeds there are too weak to save you from this fire. So he woke up
and right then and there. He broke all of the bottles of wine in his house and he turned over a new
		

			leaf he quit this evil profession he was in and this was the the flip that happened to him that he
turned over completely dedicated the rest of his life to Riba and Zote and Taqwa and spreading
around he has a number of a hadith as well. In the famous six books, even a Buhari mentions his name
and his famous Sahaba. And this shows us so many things, and of the most beautiful lessons and we
have so many lessons like this, that Allah azza wa jal judges people by their ending, not their
beginning, and we should not lose hope, even if we might be at a phase of our lives where we're not
living our best Subhanallah there's always time to change doesn't matter how we are today, as long
		

			as we're aiming to be better tomorrow, and we put in the effort. So this is a person who grew up as
a young man, a drunkard grew up with doing the worst profession possible. And then Subhanallah a
flip happen. And it is also shows us that sometimes, in fact, usually, if we have Iman, a calamity
is a blessing in disguise, a calamity big
		

			comes a blessing in disguise. If we have Iman, something that is so painful, it is used as a
catalyst to bring about a blessing. And in fact, the loss of his daughter was eventually what
triggered him to become a better Muslim and the most pious Muslim have in fact, you know, it is said
of the city of Basra of his generation. He died in the year 127 hedgerows so early on 127 Hyjal and
it is these are legends that are set Allah knows but when I say legends, I mean, we find it in some
books of history, we will know for sure certain, it is said that towards the end of his life, he was
of the first people you know, the conquest of sin had begun at that time the conquest of India. So
		

			it has said that he was of the first people to go and start preaching Islam in India. And to this
day, there is a small village, you know, in the southern coast of India, there is a masjid of Malik
Ibn Dena and the legends the people firmly believe the people will swear to you that this is the
cover of Malika Mandela and we find this mentioned in some of the books of the past that he was of
the first batches of people to go and preach Islam in India. And to this day, there is a cover in
this I don't know the name of the village is in the southern coast of India. And it has said as I
said, there's a cupboard and his Masjid there and the people of that village in town, they say that
		

			the first person to spread Islam in our community and we have been Muslim. This is by the way, the
Kerala community in South India, right. So there's two places of Indian Islam there's Northern, and
that's where Muhammad awesome came and that was, you know, different and then you have southern
Islam, southern Indian Islam does the Kerala and Malayalam and other states there and in those
regions there was no Mohammed bin Qasim in those regions. There was no army. It was people that came
and preached and taught Islam and it is said that Maliki Medina was the first to go and preach Islam
and as we know the entire southern coast has our Muslim because of people like Malik and Medina.
		

			This is the story of my they can be laid out we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to resurrect us with the
righteous of the past. We ask Allah to allow us to benefit from the stories we ask Allah azza wa jal
to make us righteous and to overcome our sins and to make our April our final days the best dates
and our final days the best days and we ask Allah that we all die upon to hate any of us and the
Kadima and Michelle will continue later Santa Monica Monica Tula barakato
