			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. May Allah subhanaw taala this peace and blessings be upon
you, today's the second day of Ramadan, and we have new great intentions and great energy. We want
to worship God as much as we can. This is a chance we know we might not be able to make up again,
and a lot of reward. The Prophet peace be upon him says, whoever draws nearer to Allah, by
performing any of the optional good deeds in this month, shall receive the same reward as performing
an obligatory deed at any other time. And whoever discharges an obligatory deed in this month, shall
receive the reward of performing 70 obligations at any other time, treasures of good deeds, a
		

			clearance on all good deeds. So whoever wants to dig into the good deeds to reach heaven and reach
Allah subhanaw taala is pleasure. Ramadan is your chance, go ahead. Today in sha Allah, we'll be
talking about the first figure or person, he's a follower. He's a military commander, but he's not
just any commander. He's the main cause in preparing to conquer and enter Persia and Iraq. Really?
Yes, he's the one who paved the way for highly demanded worried. He's the first one to fight the
Persians. Not just that, but he was one of the main causes for the Persian Empire to collapse. He
did all that. And how old was he? 60 years old. But Why so late? Because he only embraced Islam when
		

			he was 60. Have any of you guessed who he is? Who is this follower? His name is in within native
Niharika. And within native in the Hadith, who is he? And what is his story? His story story, 10
years before the Prophet peace be upon him passed away. So did he see the Prophet? Yes, he did. And
did he sit with him? Yes, he sat with him. And he talked with him and he had a whole conversation.
So he's a companion then. Right? No, because at that time, he wasn't a Muslim. He didn't embrace
Islam. He chose not to become a Muslim, even after meeting with the Prophet peace be upon him. Do
you know when he embraced Islam, three months after the Prophet peace be upon his death? So do you
		

			understand what I was talking about in the previous episode? Can you imagine how much he cried, he
lost the title of being called a companion. The Prophet died, and he never got to support him. He
had a wake up call three months after the prophets death, and he became a Muslim. So he only became
a follower. Because as we see, as we said before, a companion is only the one who met the Prophet
while being a Muslim. So became a follower and Musa nebula Haritha. I'm not telling stories, I want
us to bring out ideas and meanings. So what is the idea? I want to point out to you here, I want to
tell you that life has choices. And sometimes we make the wrong choice, and regretted our entire
		

			life. And within the worked till he died, I lost the chance of being the Prophet's companion. He
died, and I didn't stand by him and support him. I wonder, have you also made wrong choices in your
life? I wonder, are you going to regret these choices? Be careful if you can correct them do that
quickly. Do it now. And within no was too late. And miss being your companion? Look at your choices.
And if you need to correct them, don't wait. So back again to on with Hannah, who is he? He's from a
tribe called Benny che ben and Benny che ben is one of the strongest Arab tribes. And this tribe was
located between Iraq and Iran according to the nowaday maps, but at that time, it was located
		

			between Persia and the Arabs, exactly in the middle, and one of the strongest Arab tribes. And
because Persian knew that it was of the strongest Arab tribes, and because it wanted to secure its
boundaries with the Arab lands, the Persians went to Venice and che ben and made an agreement with
them, that Benny che ban would protect them from any Arabs who would try to conquer their lands and
protect their boundaries. And in return, they would also protect them in addition to other benefits.
Of course, bene che ban was very pleased, because with this agreement, Persia, who was a great power
at that time, proof that banish a ban was a tribe of great power that share borders with them. And
		

			so of course, Pinochet been withheld on to that agreement to their utmost. And who's the military
commander of Venice, Shaban al Muthanna of the Hatha, he's their commander, and before him who was
their commander, and Musa was father, and he was one who taught him the Art of Fighting and war. His
father prepared him to be his successor and become the commander after him. And before his father
died, he gave him a lesson in life. And this lesson might be wrong, but that's what his father told
him and
		

			And fortunately, he lived by this lesson. What did he tell him? He told him, befriend the strong and
never befriend the weak, never fight who is stronger than you? Truth or what's right is power. And
whoever has the power is the one who is truthful and right, and righteousness is in power. So never
find power, but fight the weak and befriend the powerful one, even if he harms the weak, and he told
him, this is life. So everything he would calculate who has more power, but unfortunately, he's
married to a woman who is totally the opposite to this. Her name is Salma, vinto Siva, send them
into cassava believes in truth and doing what's right and good. So she would tell him truth and
		

			good, does come before power. And of course, and with no, we think my father, the military
commander, or my wife, of course, my father. So he lived with this lesson that his father gave him
wherever power is I'm in and agreed to what they do. And that's why his embracing Islam was delayed.
Why? Because his mind was said, I'm with power, not the truth, power, if truth and is right, until
he met the Prophet peace be upon him for the first time. When was this 10 years after the prophecy,
and three years before the Prophet peace be upon him is his era or immigrating? And how was the
prophet status at that time? He was in very rough times at the time. Why? Because the Muslims were
		

			besieged and trapped in by Croatian Mecca, the prophets friends were being killed. With all that
passed away, Khadija passed away, the Prophet went to tell if and they tried to stone him, no
support whatsoever. He didn't have the financial power. He had no power, but he had the truth, his
financial power equals zero. And that's why when he held his hands, hi supplicating to Allah
subhanaw taala after he was thrown with the stones by the people of the tar if he said, Oh Allah, I
complain to you of my weakness, my Secretary of resources and the humiliation I've been subjected to
by the people Allahumma in the HQ like Adolfo Coletti will kill it actually, later you will when you
		

			Allah Nez, so he's telling him I have no power, no financial power. And then at the end of the day,
he says, so long as you're not angry with me, I don't care in lemmya Combi Kahala Jada Boone Fela
Auberry. What does this mean? It means as long as I am with the truth and what's right, I don't care
what's going to happen. Do you see where this episode is going? Power or truth and what's right, who
are you with? Power? Or what's right? What are your choices in life, power or truth? I started this
episode by talking about choices. And I spoke about those who regret their choices. What are your
choices affected by power or truth? So I'm within them the Haritha was with his tribe and he che ben
		

			during the pilgrimage season, and the Prophet peace be upon him and a robot with him are going to
every tribe to seek their protection from Quraysh. But which tribe is stronger from Quraysh. They
spoke with 26 tribes asking for the protection, but not one tribe agreed to protect them from
Quraysh. I will welcome you all the tribes. So as he's looking from afar, he saw who vanished a ban.
And he said to the Prophet peace be upon him. If Allah subhanaw taala blesses us by this tribe
support, it would be a great victory. They were his friends originally Abu Bakr is friends. So who's
sitting three men? Who were the head of this tribe, Who are these men? One was called Mr. Brooker,
		

			Nam, and the second hand, Abner cabeza and the third one was called an alternative Niharika. Their
military commander, imagine the scene. The three of them are sitting and Obafemi Allah subhanaw
taala be pleased with him entering upon them, and with him the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and were workers introducing the Prophet peace be upon him to them, and they're his friends.
And the conversation starts with their leader a lot aka Nam. And will Buckler asks him. How many are
you? And he means they're warriors? How many warriors Do you have? And among answers him 3003 1000
aren't easily defeated by a minority. And then Abu Bakr asked him house their strength. He replied,
		

			we exert effort and do what we have to do and the victory is up to Allah subhanaw taala the sound
like saying words, right? So Abu Bakr continued asking him, how is the war like between you and your
enemies? Abu Bakr, may Allah subhanaw taala be pleased with him. It's trying to show the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam their strength. So Brooke answered him saying, we are most angry when we meet
our enemies, and we prepare prefer having horses to having children. So he's basically saying I'd
rather have a horse and a child, meaning we are warriors, and we prefer weapons to sowing seeds. So
they rather buy weapons than planting. So we were talking about real warriors, then you say then,
		

			some of our crew was thinking, this is perfect, we can definitely make an agreement with these
people. And then I looked at the Prophet peace be upon him and said to him, Are you a brother of
Quraysh, a friend of grace, he still didn't really know who he was. Abu Bakr, on the other hand
didn't really like the word or your brother or friend of Quraysh. So he told him, Do you not know
that he's the Prophet of Allah? And Luke replied, saying, We heard that he's claiming to be Do you
see what the Prophet sallallahu wasallam was?
		

			was to imagine claiming to be. And then the group continued saying, and what is it that you want?
Brother of Quraysh the Prophet peace be upon him replied, I want you to shelter me and protect me
until I deliver my Lord's message. For surely Grace has gathered against me and truly Allah is the
self sufficient the Praiseworthy, he will support me and give me victory. So he asked him, What do
you call the people to Oh, brother of Quraysh? What's your message? So the Prophet started to recite
the Holy Quran, and he started reciting and reading from Surah Al Anon the cattle and look at what
he chose to recite a verse that says two words about hate monotheism. And then it talks about morals
		

			or manners. Listen to the verse, say, Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. He
commands that you not associate anything with Him, will tell you a Tamil haram or Bukoba Alikum
Allah to Shrek will be che and so that's concerning to hate. And then look at the coming manners or
morals that the verse mentions. This is Islam guys. This is what it's about manners and morals. So
what was the message? Are you going to tell them oh prophet of Allah, and that you do good to
parents and that you slay not your children in fear of poverty, we provide for you and for them and
do not approach and moralities what is apparent of them and what is concealed and do not kill the
		

			soul which Allah has forbidden to be killed except by legal rights. This has he instructed you that
you may use reason
		

			and then he continued are saying in Arabic Corbyn, very tiny accent and whatever talk to Allah
document him love and not under Zuko coma yeah home. What are the club refresh metadata mean? How am
I button? Well as Dr. Universality Hora Mala who will level Huck Delica was so convinced Allah Allah
come talk balloon. And Muhammad said, and what else do you call to the Prophet peace be upon him
continued and do not approach the orphans property except in a way that is best until he reached
reaches maturity and give full measure and weight and Justice Justice. We do not charge any soul
except with that within its capacity. And when you testify be just even if it concerns in your
		

			relative and the covenant of Allah fulfill this has he instructed you that you may remember what are
the caribou Melania team electability here accent hop Diablo I should. Well Phil Taylor will present
will cost la new California San Llosa will either quantum fabuleux while Canada CORBA will be delay
off with Eddie como Sercombe La La Quinta karoun. You see, manners manners. So my group said and
what else the Prophet peace be upon him said, Indeed Allah orders justice and good conduct and
giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He instructs you that
perhaps you will be reminded in the law via mobile Hadley, we'll send me what you tell either CORBA
		

			way unhandled fascia you will know Cardwell belly. Yeah, haidakhan La La Quinta karoun have not
looked at him and smiled and said, Truly, You didn't call except for the best of manners and morals.
Truly those who fought you and had memories with you have oppressed you? So what does this mean? And
Mohawk like the words of the Prophet, right? Imagine if Benny che band supported the Prophet peace
be upon him, it would be such a victory, the whole problem would end, right? And then another group
look to Hannibal oxidiser. And said, What do you think Han? Han is their leader and wisdom? So he
said, I like what you said, or brother of Quraysh. But we can't leave our religion and embrace yours
		

			in one meeting. But we will go back to our people. And you go back to yours. And we'll ask them
their opinion and come back to you. And I liked what you said. Meaning what? I agree with what you
said and want to go with it. So the first were agreeing to what they heard. So they look to their
third who's who and within them. Niharika. And they said, What do you have to say within within the
looked at the Prophet peace be upon him and said, Oh, brother of Quraysh. I find what you said nice,
and it's good in the scale of goodness or badness, right? It's definitely good. But we're between
between two barriers here. The Prophet asked, and what are the two barriers, he said, We're between
		

			the lands of Persia and the lands of the Arabs. And wherever Rome occurs from the side of the Arabs,
we can do whatever you want with them, it can be forgiven. But as for the Persian side, remember,
they're the strong ones with power, whoever wrongs them is not forgiven, and his excuse is not
accepted. I see what you call to to be hated by the kings. In other words, kings and rulers do not
like what you're calling to. And I see you will be at inequity with the Persians and between us and
between the Persians is a great agreement. We can protect you from the Arabs, but not from the
Persian Persians, and Western to blow it up. The Prophet peace be upon him said no. Only the one who
		

			takes the religion from all its sides is the one who really embraces it.
