			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Al Hamdulillah salat wa salam ala rasulillah. He will be
here, woman Welcome aboard. We continue in our series about the stories of the Prophet sallahu wa
salam. And we're still in the lengthy introduction, we're going over concepts that we need to
understand. And we need to know, before we jump into the detailed stories of each and every prophet.
And in this lecture, I will continue from where I left off, and that is to talk about the nature of
the various SMA, or the fact that they have been protected by Allah subhanho wa Taala. And I was
mentioning in my last lecture, the fact that the things that they are not protected from where
		

			there's nothing to protect them from there's nothing negative about it, is their natural human
inclinations. And I was going over some examples. So I'm going to continue from where I left off, I
had mentioned that the Prophet Musa alayhis salaam, that, you know, he became angry when he did not
recognize the angel of death. And he smacked him as the head, it goes there. And we'll talk about
that when we get there. So this is a natural anger, included in this as well, his feelings that all
human beings have of hunger, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam felt hunger like all of us as
well. And he told us in the famous incident, that when they were boycotting him in the shop of the
		

			Bollywood, the Shabbat, Benny Hashem, that he said days would go by and there was nothing for us,
you know, to eat, and in the streets of Medina as well, that when I will work on a number of the
law, one who passed them passed by the prophet SAW Selim, in the daytime in the middle of the heat,
when nobody should be sitting outside. And they said to him, what are you doing outside? And so he
said, the same thing that has caused you to go outside is what has caused me to go outside meaning
hunger, there was nothing to eat, so there's nothing to protect here. He is a human being so he will
feel hunger, he will feel pain, he will feel anxiety he will feel stress as human beings feel. The
		

			Quran has many verses from Allah subhana wa tada cheering the prophets of Allah, why do you send up
telling him that don't worry about what they are saying negating from him the feelings of stress. In
fact, in one of the most powerful verses that I look above, fair enough, soccerloco meaning that
your sorrow might cause you to be destroyed by your own grief, because they are not accepting Islam.
So this shows us that it is human nature and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was fully
human, he bled like other human beings bleed he had blood in his body, and if a wound came, blood
would come from there. And this is, this is well known in the incident of boyhood when the koresh
		

			attacked him sallallahu alayhi wasallam and a number of wounds were afflict inflicted upon him he
bled from those wounds, and we learned the Hadith inside Muslim that he wiped the blood from his
mouth. So all of this there's nothing so to be protected by Allah azza wa jal as a prophet has
nothing to do with ceasing to be a human, their humanity is still there they are fully human being.
And included in this as well is to feel frustrated or exasperated, to feel a sense of of anger that
is legitimate. And I gave one example, in my last lecture of the guides in the Bible have to buku
disobeyed the Prophet system. Because of that, the entire army was put in an inconvenience and our
		

			profits, a lot of it, he was sending them, he got irritated at them and he used harsh words. Now. We
also learn that in the Hadith assigned Muslims, it's very important to learn this point, that in a
hadith in Sahih, Muslim, I share with you love 100 she was sitting in her room, and two people came
to visit the Prophet system. She did not know who they were. And they said certain things, she is
not able to hear everything because she's in a room that the Prophet says and became very irritated
or angry, and harsh words came from his mouth. When he entered into her chamber. She said, those two
people are destroyed, they have no hope of mercy. So he said, Why would you say that? So she said,
		

			yada sutala Didn't you just say such and such? Didn't you use some very harsh and angry words? So he
says, Our Isha, do you not know the condition that I placed upon my Lord, for I am a human being and
I get angry.
		

			as others get angry, so I put a condition on my Lord, that if I use harsh words or if I say
something negative or if I make a draw against a Muslim, that Oh Allah transformed that into
blessings. Only if he makes a draw against somebody who rejects a lot, then it is taken at face
value. Otherwise, if in a moment of irritation of exam aspiration, and all of it is going to be
legitimate, whoever you know the process and gets irritated that he too serves that irritation and
frustration, but he Salallahu it he was seldom is not like the rest of us and his macom is higher
than our McCollum and his job is more blessed than our da and therefore, out of mercy for his own
		

			oma. He says to Allah subhana wa tada to a to puts a condition on his Lord, and He says that all
Allah, if I ever make a dua against a Muslim because of my own irritation or anger, then I will Lord
do not take that at face value, rather transform it into a drama, forgiveness. Subhana Allah, what a
merciful messenger we have and that's why Allah praises him in the Koran. That's Khadija Kumara su
lumen and for sukham houses in LA Hema, I need to hurry you soon it will move me Nina are all for
Rahim. He is full of compassion and full of mercy for the believers. So to feel exasperated or
frustration is something that is fully human. And of course, one of the stories that is exemplary of
		

			this genre is the famous incident of Ibn oma Maktoum, in which Allah subhana wa tada revealed verses
in the Quran that we recite To this day, however so what are well under
		

			that he frowned Ibiza, he too found to become like Abba tala to turn away. So he frowned and he
turned away Ibis hotel, Under Armour, when a blind person came to him. Now, this incident is well
documented and narrated. And it is nothing wrong that took place it is as an element of natural exam
aspiration that was not conveyed. So the story, of course, is much longer, but in a nutshell,
		

			the profits of the law while he was sending them was speaking to a worried even Rockabye, the father
of Harley Davidson will lead and the chieftain of the bonamassa zoom. Without a doubt, one of the
most prestigious and powerful and rich members of the kurush. And our lead was not, you know, like
some of the people that Abuja had and others will lead was a different personality. And in reality,
he was not opposed to the theology of Islam, as much as he was opposed to certain rulings of Islam,
especially at the quality. And Waleed was a person who had a lot of ego and pride in his blood, in
his ethnicity in his status. And it's what he didn't really problematize the theology Lyla heilala
		

			and worship and what not, what he problematized is the fact that you are saying that all of us human
beings are equal, that the slaves coming from this land and me coming from this line are the same, I
cannot accept this fate. So that's one of the main reasons he eventually ended up rejecting Islam.
However, right now, you know, in the early phase of Mecca, alwaleed was, you know, like, listening,
and it's so happened that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was deep in conversation with
Waleed, and it appeared that will lead was very interested. And he had never come closer to Islam
than at this point in time. And the profitsystem is deep engaged in conversation with him. And he's
		

			very hopeful that he will will he is going to embrace Islam. And if I will lead him he embraced
Islam, this is at a time when or whatever have had not been Muslim, there is nobody else that is of
that stature. You know, when Ahmed embraced Islam with your loved one, it changed the dynamics for
the Muslims, right? And that's where the process is made to either Allah you know, cause one of the
two remotes to embrace Islam and the other amateur being a Buddha. And Allah chose aroma rhodiola
one to embrace system, the point being, that he was this close, let's say to embracing Islam, and
then even only Maktoum, who was considered to be by by people like Willie to be low class, you know,
		

			they have their hierarchy, their racism, their you know, their whole system of ethnic you know,
superiority. So, even Omi Maktoum from a police perspective is the lowest class and in Walid is of
the highest class. So if you don't mean back to, and on top of the fact that he's somewhere low
class tribe, obviously on top of that, you know, he is visually impaired, he is blind. And
obviously, for this type of people, I could believe this is something to make fun of and mock and of
course, in our religion, you know, it doesn't matter at all. In fact, the one who does not have
eyesight might have a higher status in the eyes of Allah. In fact, he is
		

			Guaranteed, you know forgiveness. If he is patient as our prophets wisdom said, it doesn't admit
that whoever Allah tests with blindness and he is patient that Allah xojo has guaranteed for him
gender so the point being is coming back to him was not aware to the Prophet system is speaking with
and he's returning back home and he hears the voice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
out of love, he becomes excited. Oh, I can get to see him. I can get to a well see him obviously
metaphorically, obviously, he is blind. I can get to interact with him. I can speak with him. And so
he becomes happy and the tapping increases and he walks to the profitsystem out of happiness and
		

			eagerness. Right, well Modica Allah Who is saqa? He wants to be pure, he wants to benefit from you.
Right? And when alwaleed saw an omen baktun What did it What did he do? He snorted in contempt. The
arrogant fool that he was he based the truth of Islam, on the ethnicity of its followers are with a
bill, how arrogant is that? He snorted in contempt. And he said, You want me to follow you, when the
likes of this person is your follower? SubhanAllah. It's not as if he didn't agree with theology,
but there were social issues of Islam that he could not fathom. And by the way, here we are, you
know, I'm thinking how could anybody be so foolish. But the fact of the matter is that many of
		

			people in our times, they are not hung up on the ethnicity issue, but they are hung up on other
issues, whether it might be morality, or sexuality, or gender, or LGBT, whatever it might be. They
have certain notions, and they are certain that these notions are legitimate. And then when they
hear of Islam, they're like, Huh, I cannot accept a fate like this, that theology makes sense to me.
But the mortality from their perspective is messed up. So unworried as well had the same perspective
that that theology is not a problem, but this issue of social inequality, he could not accept it.
And so he snorted in contempt, and he walked away. And the Prophet system felt just as a human being
		

			would be, that he was so close. And now he has to come
		

			back to him has to come. He didn't say anything to even remember to. He didn't even because he knows
his mind didn't even show anything or say anything. But in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala. He
showed that others are told that he became frustrated out of a love for Islam out of a love for
wanting to guide it, what he there's nothing personal here. It's not as if there's a personal
benefit, but he thought Islam would benefit by the embracing of a lower lead. And Allah azza wa jal
says I was told angioedema, wala unikl Allah Who is zeca zakharova to vertical, how do you know this
person? He wants to be pure? He's going to be a better person. For a moment jackal? Yes, I will. We
		

			shall Fanta, Fanta and huhtala ha, sorry, as diverse before that was that whoever thinks that he is
feminine is standing up whoever thinks he has no need of you. And he turns away for intellia Who
said that? That's the one you want to pay attention to the one who's arrogant and he wants to turn
away. You're paying attention to him, and the one who is humble and meek and coming to you and
wanting to purify, then you frown and turn away. So Allah Subhana Allah, this is not a sin. There is
nothing you know how long being done here? It's human nature of exam aspiration and frustration. And
this is of the perfection of our Sharia, that Allah subhana wa tada revealed these verses that we
		

			all learn from this human issue, human error, you can call it it is not a sin. There is no sin over
here. We're going to come to sin later on today and inshallah next lesson as well, but the fact is,
this demonstrates what does it demonstrate the humanity of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
So this is also something that there is no issue or problem affirming, he is a full human being. Now
another issue which is, you know, some some find it a little bit problematic. But again, it's not
that problematic whatsoever. And that is that forgetting, forgetting natural issues, okay,
forgetting natural issues, and the prophets of Allah while he was sent him as a human being, he may
		

			forget the normal issues of this world and lapse in a memory as all of us do.
		

			None of our memories are perfect. And a number of incidents occurred that demonstrate this is
nothing not a problematic thing at all. And of course, the most famous amongst them is also reported
assigned Buhari so I'm Muslim, that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he once prayed so that
the hope to Raka rather than for Raka. And he said the Salaam and he then sat down and turned
around. And everyone was dead silent, out of respect, out of fear out of all out of just the genuine
what's called an Arabic haber that they have for the Prophet sallallahu. It was send them and
they're looking around, everybody knows you pray to the car, and they're wondering what's going on.
		

			And so somebody who had long hands, that's what he called born with the two long hands. Do you
think?
		

			He said, O Messenger of Allah, has something changed with regards to the ruling of the her, or did
you forget and pray to instead of four? And this is a question that only somebody who is likely to
do they not abubaker not from another man at home, none of the elites have but they're all sitting
quiet. But somebody like Julia Dayne, whom we know almost nothing about is one of the, you know, the
members of the audience and of the companions. He said he also Allah, did you? Did Allah azza wa jal
change the shape? The number of worker art? Or did you forget? So the professor said, No, neither
this nor that. I didn't forget I prayed for him, though he was still four. So in once once he had
		

			said that I did not forget and Allah did not change the idea Dane said no, you're sued Allah, we
will pray you pray two instead of four. So he looked to the audience and he said, Is it true that I
pray to rather than four and they said yes, you are suitable it is. So he stood up right then and
there and he prayed to locate extra and then he did the search of the circle with the famous you
know, thing that we do when we make a mistake. And then he turned around and he said, and this
hadith is in Buhari in an airbrush or I am a human being, I forget, like you forget, in another
version, I make mistakes, like you may make mistakes. So if the Imam makes a mistake, then correct
		

			him by saying this by saying Subhan Allah, okay, so, you should have said Subhana Allah so that I
stood up in that in that timeframe. So the point being, and then he said, and if you make a mistake,
and you don't correct then you pray the surgery that the so so this incident clearly demonstrates
that our Prophet sallallahu wasallam is a human being and he forgets like other people forget. And
it is even possible that as even taming others point out, and again, this hadith is in body and
others. So again, and I'm putting all of these because we need to understand when we read these
narrations they should not bring any alarm bells for us. It's human nature, that our Prophet system
		

			passed by the masjid and he heard somebody in one reported his urban cab reciting the Quran, and he
said, may Allah have mercy on him anyway, Allah bless him, Allah forgive him. He reminded me of a
verse in such and such a surah that currently Biya. So this is, again, not problematic, because
sometimes you know you for periods go by, and you don't think of an idea. It's not as if you forgot
it completely from memory that currently he reminded me doesn't mean he didn't know. It's just like,
oh, that I am rethinking of it. It's just like all of us, we might have heard a verse and then for
many weeks or months, we don't read that verse. Sometimes even years go by, then we hear it again,
		

			just like when the Prophet says and passed away, and Abu Bakar stood up and said, that whoever used
to worship, the prophet system has passed away. Whoever worships Allah, Allah is Ever living. And
then he recited the verse in Surah, Allah and Milan that when he passes away or dies, will you turn
on your backs, or wounded or model the law say, he said, It is as if I had never heard the verse
before. So it's not like forgetting forgetting, this is like, you know, a lapse of like, it's not
fresh in my memory. Our professors and by the way, never actually made a mistake in the recitation
of the Koran. Whereas we make mistakes in the recitation of the Quran. He could not do that. Because
		

			as we said, in our last lecture, we'll say again, today, we'll say get in our next lecture lecture.
Without a doubt, what Allah protected him from 110% is the conveying of the message and the
recitation of the Quran. And the fact that what he said is from Allah Subhana, WA Tada, this is
something that is unanimously agreed upon that whatever the Prophet says, and claimed is the Quran,
and he recited as the Koran and he affirmed as the Quran, it is the Quran without any change without
any telethia. Or to do this is something that is unanimously agreed upon. So the forgetfulness when
it came to the sada was two or four Raka is something that is human nature. Another aspect that
		

			again, we're talking about what is not covered in, in Esma, in the divine protection, is that
sometimes some aspects of the knowledge of the unseen are not known to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam It is only Allah who knows the complete unseen are they will they be with Shahada does the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam know aspects of elemental five? There is no question that he
knows much more than any of us know, otherwise he wouldn't be a prophet, and he is privy to
knowledge and to aspects of the creation of the heavens and earth that we are not privy to.
Otherwise he wouldn't be a prophet, but he does not know the entire aim of the heavens and earth
		

			otherwise that would make him divine. And Allah clearly says in the Quran, Allah Lai Lama manifest
summer wa T will all be available Illa Allah, no one in the heavens and
		

			Earth knows the ultimate knowledge of the hype except for Allah subhanho wa Taala. So, Allah says in
the Quran, Allah didn't one lady, follow you through Allah lavey. Allah does not allow his life to
be known to anyone in Manitoba rasulillah except if Allah chooses a prophet, he will tell him
aspects of the life. So our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam knew much more than any human being,
but still, he was not infinitely knowledgeable. And this is again shown in a number of traditions
and a hadith of them against the high Buhari, our Prophet sallallahu. It who was setting them said
that when people come to him arguing their cases, one person is claiming this, the other person is
		

			claiming that he said, in an Bashar, I am a human being, we're in here at New Hassan, and two people
come to me to settle their disputes. Perhaps one of them is more eloquent than the other. And I
think that the evidence is with him, and I give him the right, but it is not his right and he knows
it. And so if I give him a right that is not his, let this person know that what he is getting is
nothing other than the fire of *, let him take it or let him leave it. Now this idea is very,
very explicit, very clear. And it also brothers and sisters brings about a level of moral reality to
when we go to court when we fight our cases. What is our Prophet sallallahu? I said, I'm saying he
		

			is saying, you know, two people come, and they're claiming to have a business dispute a dispute in
land dispute and money, a dispute in a contract, right. And, you know, perhaps, and each of them
knows you know, who's right and wrong, but one of them is more eloquent, and can twist the fax and
the other one is overcome by that eloquence. And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is
saying, look, if this person by virtue of the his sweetness of the tongue, manages to win over, and
he knows that the contract was not in his favor, he knows that the money has been paid. Now he's
saying it hasn't been paid, whatever it might be, whatever the case might be, and he wins in this
		

			court of mine. And I say to him, No, you must pay the money. Realize the Profit System is saying,
just because the sweetness of your tongue one, it doesn't mean you actually want in the eyes of
Allah. And if you take that money without the hack, then you are taking a portion of the fire of
health. Now notice, what is he saying here in bash of I am a human being. And this also shows us as
well, that the the part of what is not included in there isma.
		

			Part of what is not included in the divine protection as well is the HD high that of the Prophet
salallahu idea he was sending him or his interpretations when it comes to the matters of this world.
And again, this is something that is very explicit in the books of Hadith. And even the Quran
references these types of things as well. And of course, the most obvious one is the famous incident
of the cross pollination pollination that took that is recorded inside body that the prophet SAW
some suggested a course of action when it came to the techniques of agriculture, and it didn't work
out in the best manner. And he goes in an adventure once again, this phrase is so common in the
		

			minor version, I'm just a human being, I'm just a human being. And he said, unto madonia, come, you
know the affairs of your world better than I do, and go back to the way you used to be doing it. In
other words, it was just a suggestion, and you know, the affairs of your world better than I do. And
great scholars like the call Dr. than his, she found others. They mentioned that it is not
necessary, that Allah subhana wa Taala gives the knowledge of all of the sciences of this world to
the prophets of the law, who I said he wasn't sent to teach us architecture, or advanced geometry,
or engineering. That's not why he was sent. These are the sciences of this world, take them or leave
		

			them, they're not going to bring you closer to Allah in and of themselves, you will not gain Jenna
by the sciences, he was sent to guide us to the way to Jenna. And so that is his area that he is
divinely infallible As for other disciplines that are not a part of his message of his mandate. So
if he suggests something as a human being, and again, how do we know this by the context and by what
is being referenced? So you know, the specific specifics of agriculture, we are not bound, when he
told the Sahaba to do that, the two have to follow that nobody does that. And he himself said that
you know your techniques better than I do. And I have a much longer lecture. You may listen to that
		

			online, in my q&a is that I do hear that one, I gave much longer lecture about the discussion over
the prophetic medicine, is there such a thing as prophetic medicine, and you will find a spectrum of
opinion and you will find ergomatic ibn khaldoun
		

			And others and sha Allah, Allah della, when others who mentioned that look, you know, this genre of
a hadith and whatnot, that it is not something that is legislative or binding on the oma, because
this goes back to the knowledge is that what's available to him at the time, and so on and so forth.
So this is something that goes back to once again, this is not of the divine protection of the
prophets that Allah subhana wa Taala has given and included in this as well. And again, this is a
very elaborate issue, we're simply going to gloss over them. And I just like to make again, I say
this amended many, many times, in this series of lectures, I'm not able to go into the very advanced
		

			detail, because this is not the time replace. Generally speaking, the lectures that I give in all of
these series, from the CRR, to the lives of the prophets, to all of these, you know, long series
that I'm giving, generally speaking, I would say it is intermediate to intermediate advanced, but
not actual, you know, cutting edge advanced and dissecting This is not the platform for that. So I
must by nature of the audience and the medium of conveyance, I must, you know, tone down a notch
going to all of the levels of controversy. And that's something that I do in my private classes in
my seminars that I do for the advanced students to graduate students. That is where we do this not
		

			something that should be put in on on YouTube or something, because it's not the right platform for
this. So again, I make this disclaimer, because I understand that students who have studied certain
areas passionately, and they have differing views, that they feel that I haven't done justice to
their point of view. And I say to them, that maybe that is the case. But this is not the time or the
place for me to talk about all 10 opinions and who said what and why, and dissect and refute and
counter refute. I'm giving you the position that I follow, and I defend and then that's it move on.
So the other next issue we're going to come to is that whether the opinions of the Prophet
		

			sallallahu it he was settled him, when he utters them are inherently protected as they emanate, or
are they protected in continuity, ie what do I mean by this? When our Prophet sallallahu I said him
said something in his lifetime, this only applies in his lifetime. Now that we only have the sooner
left that we take from obviously, this issue becomes theoretical, but in the life of the Prophet
sallallahu it he was seldom was he protected before uttering a command. And then he had or the
protection was that if there's a disagreement, Allah xojo will tell him change this and do that. And
in summary, we're not going to go into all the opinions. In summary, it is quite clear that Allah
		

			subhana wa tada gave the legislative right to our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to practice a
prophetic HDR, this isn't the Shahada of our scholars of film, this is a higher level, it is a level
that Allah delegated upon him. And generally speaking, if that he had was something that was
approved by the divine, then it was led to pass and if there need to needed to be an amendment or an
update or a change, then revelation came down, God came down, and that he had was then updated, and
it was announced to the people that Okay, now this is the new ruling. And we have a number of
examples in this regard. of them. Of course, the most famous amongst them is the issue of the
		

			prisoners of the Battle of better where our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam felt that it is
better to release them for a ransom and Allah azza wa jal revealed in the Quran, ma con la B and the
akula who Astra youth center feel that this wasn't the best course of option. And Allah azzawajal
said that this will should not have been done, but now that you've done it, I will let it pass.
Right. So this is a demonstration of the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had been
given authority by Allah to speak on the behalf of the Sharia, and we are obliged to listen we are
not sinful we must listen. But if Allah azza wa jal wants to change, then he will reveal a
		

			revelation and then change it. And again, this also is found in the incident of the book, in which
our profits of the centum decided to forgive all of those who remained behind and Allah azza wa jal
gently reprimanded our fellow Anka Lima intellia. Whom May Allah is going to forgive you. Why did
you allow them to pass? Why did you just let it go that they stayed behind in the Battle of took off
Allah Wonka Lima into level. So here again we have the processes and making he had and that he had
Allah xojo is then either you know, allowing it to go through or showing this or that whatever it
might be. And again, this is even from the sooner we learn multiple instances of this. For example,
		

			the famous had the third person
		

			hibbett Leela which is, again, a type of act between husband and wife, that are a timeframe I should
say of that act that the profitsystem said, I contemplated, I contemplated prohibiting leader, but
then I examined the civilizations of Rome and Persia and realized that it is not harmful and so it
is permissible for you. So, again, this is clearly showing us that he is exercising his own he had
and his he had his binding honor See, his he had is not like any other person, this is a prophetic
level of HD heart and we are bound to it. But the point being a lot xojo gave him that right. And if
Allah is version one to to correct or change or amend that he would do so if he doesn't do so well,
		

			now you want to fly to Hawaii, in Hawaii, in the water, you knew how whatever the prophets, Islam
says becomes the equivalent and the status of what he after no correction comes down. So this is
something again, that is clearly we derived from the Quran, and from the sooner. Now again, we go
back to the issue of other aspects of his humanity that do not come and are not just his By the way,
we're giving examples of the prophets ism. In reality, all the profits are the same in this regard,
of the examples as well of humanity. We already talked about falling sick, our Profit System fell
sick multiple times. He had fevers in his lifetime, and had it inside body. It is mentioned that
		

			once his horse, it caused him to tumble, and he fell and he injured his thigh, and he was forced to
sit down while praying. He could not stand up for a few weeks, maybe even a month he would sit down
and I should know the Lord herself mentions that he could not stand up for a month in this regard.
So being injured because he fell from the horse or the camel. Again, this is a part of his humanity,
as well. A part of him being human sallalahu I sent him is eating and drinking. This is expressly
mentioned in the Quran. That one arson number rosulip was Omar sendemail publika middlemore Selena
inla in the home layer Karunakaran Oh am sure nephila swag, we have not sent any profit before you
		

			accept that they will be eating food and they will be walking in the marketplaces. Okay, so,
walking, buying, selling, this is a part of his humanity eating food, you know, some people they go
to extremes in their notions of who the profits are, some was and they say he wasn't really human,
he was a manifestation of the Divine Light. And this is something that, you know, this is a mystical
interpretation that goes against the explicit Quran and Sunnah. And every single book of Syrah ever
written. The Koran clearly says in an Uber showroom with lucam I am a human like you, and he would
eat he would drink he would go to sleep, he would marry. In fact, Allah says in the Quran, prophets
		

			get married and they have children, that Allah azza wa jal explicitly says in the Quran, that we
that the prophets had children as well. And we know this from the previous prophets, and our Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu it he was sitting there as well. And therefore being a family man, and being a
father and being a husband, all of these are natural realities of being a prophet. And again, if you
listen to my length, the Sierra and especially you go to the the sections about the marriages of the
prophets of law, he said them about our mothers and the marriages that took place and listen to the
various you know, marriages and whatnot in light of what I'm speaking here, all of this is nothing
		

			to do with there is nothing to protect a human being as a human being, there's no sinner crime, you
know, at all in eating and drinking and in getting married and having children This is all part and
parcel of being human. And if you understand this point, then a number of incidents of the Sierra
that some have found problematic or not problematic whatsoever, such as the incident of my moon and
others, you loosen up and you read my Sierra or you listen to it and other books of Sierra and you
will understand there is nothing to be protected from all of this. Another aspect again, we're
talking about Nate natural human dispositions that do not go against the the divine chosen nature of
		

			being a prophet. Another aspect is that certain prophets have dispositions that are different than
other profits. So some profits are stricter, some profits are more gentle, some profits are more
forgiving, some profits are more merciful. And this is the reality that we see even in the Koran. No
Holly has said,
		

			his nature is known and he made the art to Allah to destroy you know all of humanity after 950 years
and how can we blame him for not getting exasperated at that stage, the temper of moose it set up
again, it is mentioned in the Koran, the gentle nature of reciting his Salaam, the Forgiving and
Merciful nature of Ibrahim alayhis salaam When the angels came, and they said, we're going to Sodom
and Gomorrah, and Allah himself says Ibrahim was gentle and forgiving. And in fact, this is
expressly mentioned once again in a number of traditions. That after the Battle of budget when the
incident took place, about
		

			The prisoners of war
		

			and Abu Bakar recommended to the Prophet salallahu it he was sent him to forgive, and Omar
recommended execution. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, your example, or abubaker is
like that Ibrahim alayhis salam that he asked forgiveness even for those who rejected him. And your
example or boubakeur is like that of Isa alayhis salaam, who said, If you punish them, then they are
Your servants. And if you forgive, then you are the Aziz and the Hakeem. And as for you, or Omar,
your example is like Moosa, it has said, when he made dua, that Allah seal their hearts. And Omar,
your example is like that of know how to his Salam who said, Oh, my lord do not allow a single
		

			Kaffir to remain on Earth. So he's mentioning the differences between the various prophets and their
different natures. And all of this is, all of this is something that is well documented, and forgive
and and known. So we now we spoken quite a lot about the humanity of the Prophet, prophets, all of
them. And we have to be very clear here that there is a trend in Islam. Generally, they're from the
strand of one strand of the extreme. So we find again, this is always problematic when I mentioned
the word, Sufi, or whatnot, because
		

			Sufism is a very broad trend, it is not a theology, and you will find Sophie's of all stripes and
all types, and we cannot categorize all of them in one box, we cannot do that. There are many of
them with a soul with who are, who are worshipers who are so hard. And they have, you know, their
way of worshipping Allah. And there's not much issues with that. And then there are some amongst
them who go to extremes that they should not and then there are some that go to even more extremes
that might even potentially lead to an Islamic ideas and practices. And of those extremes. This is
not mainstream. So I want to make that disclaimer of those extremes is a trend that seeks to claim
		

			that the profits are not human beings. And that's why I went into all of this detail today, to show
you from the Quran and Sunnah, that they are human beings, that they are completely human, and the
normal natural issues that human beings do, the prophets also do. And there's nothing wrong with
affirming this. And there are some people who claim that our profits of the lesson of is not Bashar
he is made out of Allah is light, and he is not a human being in any sense of the term. And we say
that all of this contradicts basically everything. I mean, you don't even know I don't even know how
to begin to refute this claim. Because it contradicts the basic message of the Quran and the Sunnah,
		

			and of the Sierra, and no human being ever felt this way. In the first you know, few 100 years of
Islam, no Sahaba or Tabori, no one even conceived at this, because they recognize and they knew that
our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is fully human. So with this now, we now come to the next
issue, which is the more problematic one, it's easy for most of us, I think it's easy to talk about
the regular aspects of being a human being being hungry, bleeding, you know, marrying, having
children eating and drinking, walking in this in the swamp and buying and purchasing, you know,
living a normal life, you know, sleeping, these are things that we all understand. Now we get to the
		

			controversial area, and that is, can the prophets commit sins? Can the prophets commit that which is
against the commandments of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And this is where we do come to an area where a
lot of people who affirm the humanity of the prophets, they cannot affirm this aspect, and they have
precedents, it's not as if they're coming out of nowhere. So this is an aspect that there's no doubt
it does raise a lot of emotions. And the problem comes that a lot of people have an image of how
profits should be. And they then need to back that image up by understanding the verses and the
Hadeeth that don't fit up to that image. But the question we need to ask ourselves is where do we
		

			get the images of the profits from where do we get their personas From where do we get their natures
from? We get it from the Quran and Sunnah. So rather than having a preconceived image, let us read
the Quran and Sunnah. And let us see how Allah xojo himself and how the prophets themselves and how
the companions of the prophets understood who the prophets were. And of course, my position
throughout this era has been very clear and I still stand by this that in their perfection of
humanity, they become our role models. They are
		

			as perfect as humans can be, but humans are not created to be angels. And so amongst humanity, the
profits are the highest level. And the profits are role models, and their nature is fully human. But
that doesn't mean that they are error less. And that's what we're gonna be talking about inshallah
for the remainder of today and also in our next lecture. So let us begin with our first topic when
it comes to the Esma or the divine protection. And that is that can the prophets commit sins in the
timeframe before they became profits? Okay, so this is the first question, we're going to begin with
that before they became profits. So for the first, let's say, in our profit systems life for the
		

			first 40 years, or more sadly, his setup as we know, he was raised in the palace of Freetown, and he
lived many decades as a young man there. He then went to Medina and he lived around 10 years over
there. Then he went to the center, and he became a prophet on Mount Sinai. So this timeframe before
he became a prophet, okay. And the same goes for all of the other prophets that Ibrahim alayhis
salam before he became a prophet use of LSM before he became a prophet, is it possible that they can
commit sins? Now, this is an issue that we'll talk about a shoulder today that looking at the lives
of the prophets that we know, it is very clear that no prophet was ever guilty of Chirac or Cofer,
		

			even when they were not prophets. No Prophet was guilty of worshipping other than Allah, or of not
believing in Allah subhanho wa Taala. So of the divine protection upon the prophets, is that even
before they are prophets, they cannot and they do not and they will not worship false gods. No human
being whom Allah has chosen to be a prophet has ever worshiped a false god. They are protected even
before Prophethood from doing something of this nature, so shirk and kufr is negated from the
entirety of the lives of the profits from the time they were born, until the time they meet to their
Lord, they will never worship a false god, and they will never reject Allah subhana wa Tada. And we
		

			see this even in our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, despite the fact that his entire
tribe was idol worshipers, and his own uncle was an idol worshiper and everybody in his extended
family worship idols, he never once never once bowed his head, or gave them an offering or invoke
them in his entire life. And he never once ate of the meat that was slaughtered in the name of the
idols. And he never wants to throw off around the idols, he never did any act of servitude to the
false gods. So we can say categorically that Allah has divinely protected the prophets, all of them
from ever committing ship and from ever committing, Cofer. And this is the position of pretty much
		

			the entirety of the oma. Now, there are some bizarre sects and some, you know, long gone groups,
there's a group of the, the hydrogen and the hydrogen were very interesting group and they had at
least 25 different subgroups within them. And some of them were so extreme that, you know, they said
that it is possible that profits pre Prophethood can commit such acts, but this is we don't really
care in terms of mainstream the bulk of the oma that we say it is impossible for the profits to
commit to commit to major Cofer or shark Okay, that much is very clear. The next question though,
can they commit major sins? Can the profits do sins before becoming a pro again? Right now we're
		

			talking about pre profit. inshallah. Next lesson, we'll talk about once the white begins, what is
the protection of a law right now we're talking about before the war begins. And
		

			there's a group of scholars who here's where we get a difference of opinion, that one group of
scholars says that they cannot commit any sins whatsoever, pre profited. Now, any group or any
scholar that says this will also say they cannot commit any sense post profit? Obviously, if they
cannot commit sins before becoming a prophet? How can they commit sins after becoming a prophet, and
so they negate the existence of any disobedience of a law from the time of their birth until the
time of their death. And generally speaking, this is a position that is not held by Sunni Islam it
is held by non Sunni group, the largest non Sunni group. I mean, here the mommies are the twelvers.
		

			They held this position because they also have the belief that their 12 imams are infallible, so if
their imams are infallible, then ipso facto a priori member Viola. The prophets are all infallible
from
		

			birth until death. So that is their theology as for sooner or Sunni Islam, that generally speaking,
generally speaking, they say that the prophets before Prophethood, they can commit mistakes, they
can commit what we call minor sins, we are not aware of any profit even committing a major sin
before becoming a prophet. There is no example of this. However, we do have examples of what we call
mistakes or minor sins before becoming a prophet. And of course, perhaps the most obvious example of
this is more Sally his Salaam, becoming angry when an Israelite was being chastised. And you know,
the Egyptians had an Egyptian man had ganged up on him. And so Moosa comes and overreact and he
		

			punches him with such force, that he kills him. And this situation did not require this amount of
force. And this is technically accidental manslaughter. Technically, if a person did this in our
times, it's not murder, because it wasn't intentional. It's not premeditated murder, but it is
accidental manslaughter. And that is why musala histogram himself says, or be in the bottom two, NFC
photography really, oh my lord, I have sinned against myself, forgive me. So he recognizes he went
overboard, this is before he is a prophet. And we also have the famous verse in sort of use of when
the brothers of use have accused us of, of stealing as a child, right? All in yesterday of soccer,
		

			the soccer, a hula hoop. And now this is a cryptic verse, what does it reference, you can look up
that series, I also have my book, how to use it as well, you can look up that for other
interpretations. But one interpretation was that as a child, and children do these things that use
have had, you know, taken something from his grandfather or something. So these are trivial things
children do. Not a big deal. It's not a sin in any sense. He's not even above your head or whatnot.
But the point being that it's not impossible for the profits to commit minor sins or slip ups or
mistakes before becoming profits. As for major sins, we are not aware of any example that can be
		

			brought forth. And so if somebody were to claim, if somebody were to claim that the profits are
protected from major sins even before becoming profits, there is no problem with this claim. So the
profits are especially protected by a law called the new Esma from committing Schickel, COVID
throughout their entire lives. And we can add to this as well, they are also protected from
committing major sins before they become profits. However, as for minor sins as for slip ups as for
mistakes, then this is something that is possible, according to the vast majority of our theologians
and our scholars. And the reality of the prophets. being protected by a law is something that we see
		

			most clearly in the life of our Prophet sallallahu it he was seldom before becoming a prophet those
40 years in which he was preaching and teaching. He never once drank alcohol. He never once was
involved in the riffraff of the ruffians, the young men, you know, young men and young women, they
do what they do, and they, he was never involved in those gatherings never once he never uttered a
lie, even though what he had not yet begun. He was called a saw that he was called an amine is
exemplary manners were known to all and he was modest and he was chaste and he was dignified before
becoming a prophet. All of this indicates that a law protects the prophets, even before they become
		

			prophets. Yes, maybe they can fall into a one off mistake, an anger issue, something happens like
our Prophet Musashi said I'm quite angry, and he punched them out. This is a mistake. And it is in
the grand scheme of things, let us say it is a minor sin even because he overreacted and caused his
death. But it is not a major sin. It is not murder. And as far as we are aware, there is no example
even of a prophet doing any major sin before. Prophethood. Much less cool for ohshit. By the way,
there's one point that needs to be said. And we're going to come to there whenever we come to the
sha Allah. And that is a story of Rahim Allah His Salaam.
		

			The story of Ibrahim alayhis salam in which
		

			he is searching for the truth. And he says, This is my Lord. This is his mother. He says to the sun,
the moon, the stars, this is my Lord. This is my Lord. A lot of people misunderstand the story. And
they think that Ibrahim was actually saying, This is my Lord, meaning it. And this is a huge error,
a massive error, because to affirm This is to affirm that Ibrahim alayhis salam was actually saying
that the sun is his God and the moon is is
		

			Got and the star is his God. And that is not what he intended. Rather, what he intended was to
debate with his people. He knew Allah was his Lord, but he is debating. He says, You think and you
want me to believe this is my God, but it disappears. You want me to believe this is my core. So
this entire conversation is a debate. And it is not an affirmation, Ibrahim alayhis salam never
actually believed that these entities are his god that would negate him being a prophet of a lot. So
in any case, we come to the conclusion of today's and inshallah, in our next lecture, or we're going
to do is we're going to talk about the the status of the SMA, or the divine infallibility and
		

			protection that Allah has given to the prophets after the prophecy begins. How do we understand the
various verses when it comes to the potential sins or the mistakes of the prophets? Can the prophets
of Allah even commit any sins or mistakes? Or are they divinely protected from that after
Prophethood? That will be our lecture next lesson. Until then, Joseph molucca saramonic Mohammed
