hey madam who wanna stay in wanna stuff
it or inaudible a human should reinforce
in a woman say Yadier Molina m'hijita
who fella melinda woman who fella Hadi
allah wa ashadu an LA ilaha illallah
wahdahu la sharika lah what shadow under
mohammed and i Badu who wore a suit
am i bad we are still doing our
introductory lectures before actually
jumping into the life and times of the
prophets of Allah who are they who will
sell them and all of these introductory
lectures is background information and
motivation for why we should be studying
the Sira so today insha'Allah who tada
we will begin about discussing what
exactly is the serie and why should we
study the serie and we'll try to mention
something about pre-islamic Arabia so
we're going to set this stage and we're
going to continue next week and the week
after that setting the stage for the
coming of the prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sell them so before we begin with the
birth of the prophecies and we need to
explain the world at his time and so
we're going to begin by doing that today
and continuing for the next week or two
the story of ibraheem and the benefit we
can derive and so on and so forth so we
began by talking about the word ceará
what is the word see el-amin the word
sierra comes from the arabic verb salary
a solution which means to traverse or to
journey so the word Selah actually comes
from the verb that means to travel and
the reason why ceará meaning the
biography of a person is called Sierra
it is because you are traveling his
journey you are walking in his path you
are following his footsteps so when we
study the life and times of the
profitsystem
it is as if we are following in his
footsteps it is as if we are travelling
in his journey and that is why the
Sierra or the biography of a person is
called the Sierra because you are
walking in his footsteps now even though
the Arabs would call Sierra the
biography of any person as soon as the
Prophet system came Muslim scholars used
it exclusively for the biography of the
best human being and so no scholar says
sila except that he means the biography
of the life and times of the incidents
that have been during the life of our
Prophet Muhammad SAW Allah
why they he was sending them now in
order to understand the Serie as I said
you don't begin with the birth of the
profitsystem you must begin with the
world at his time and that is why every
single book of serie from the most
classical books up until the modern ones
they have a number of introductory
sections and we're going to begin with
that today after we summarize some of
the benefits of studying the Serie why
study the serie why should you be
interested in the serie why spend our
time coming here and understanding the
Serie of the prophet sallallaahu adi who
has sent him well the benefits are
numerous first and foremost Allah has
commanded us to know this man this is an
obligation that Allah has put upon us we
have to know this person and there are
over 50 verses in the Quran that command
us to take the profit system as an
example of them lakota canada comfy
rasul allah he was sweatin husana to a
demon kanaiolowalu man after with a car
ilaha kathira naka de canada come indeed
there is for you
fear rasul allah in the messenger of
allah whose sweatin husana
an exemplary manner a perfect conduct
you SWA means something you follow
husana means a perfect so you have in
the profits of the Long Valley he will
send them the perfect example to follow
and therefore the study of the life and
times of the prophet sallallaahu either
he will sell them is the study of
somebody we need to follow and the
amazing thing no matter which angle you
look at the life and times of the
professor's on them you will benefit
from that so no doubt the number one
angle we look at it in terms of religion
in terms of how we worship Allah also we
look at the Sira in terms of manners and
morals in terms of mercy and tenderness
also we look at the Sira in terms of
leadership what did the process do as a
leader we look at the serie in terms of
how he was as a father and a husband and
we will find benefit in this so no
matter which angle you look at the life
and times the purpose of rosada the
purpose of allah sending prophets is
that we have a living example to follow
allah tells us in the Quran that if we
had wanted we could have sent angels
there's a verse in the Quran that if we
had one
we could have sent angels but what would
you have done if we had sent angels you
would have rejected the concept to you
would have rejected it
why because you would have said we can't
be like that these are not our species
how can we follow them so of the
perfection of Allah's wisdom is that he
sends human beings flesh and blood
people like ourselves born of women
married and having children just like us
but the difference is they are chosen by
allah subhana wa ta'ala and they are
made role models and examples another
blessing of studying the serie is that
the sila is the number one way to
increase our love for the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam
the number one way there is really no
other way as effectively and as
powerfully to increase our love for the
Prophet system than by studying his life
and his times and this is a sad fact of
our Ummah that unfortunately we have
neglected this study and we have
sidelined it and most of our children
are ignorant completely of the Serie of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa seldom
they don't even know the names of his
children they don't even know the basic
dates when did he immigrate
how old was he when why he came down and
yet they know so much of this dunya that
it is embarrassing it is embarrassing
for us as parents that our children know
so much of movie stars and actors and
and and sports personalities and they
have no clue as to the real person whom
they should know about and so by
studying the sila our love for the
Prophet SAW lucidum increases and
conversely it demonstrates our love it's
a two-way street
when you study your love goes up in
order for you love to go up you need to
study and if you truly love this man you
will study him and that is because a
sign of loving someone is to want to
know more about them a sign of loving
somebody is to want to know more about
that person this is human nature so for
example when I'm traveling I call up my
children I say what did you do today I
mean who cares what they've done that
doesn't affect me what did you have for
breakfast to ask my children who cares I
mean it's not going to affect me but
this is a sign of love because when you
love somebody you want to know
everything about them so anybody who
claims to
love the profitsystem but he doesn't
study his life in times well la he the
fact that he doesn't study is a sign he
doesn't love if you claim you love this
man and yet you don't care to study him
you don't care to read his biography you
don't get to find out facts about him
what type of love is this this is not a
love that we understand as human beings
so to study the serie is a sign of love
and through studying the serie we
increase our love it's a circle the more
we love the more we study the more we
study the more we love understanding the
serie also a third benefit as
understanding the serie also helps us to
understand the quran because the quran
is a very complex book is a very
profound book and it cannot be
understood without context you cannot
understand without context so when you
hear for example i just recited right
now well do have a lady Desa maui dark
arabic o amok allah your lord has not
abandoned you nor has he shown you any
harshness you will not understand this
verse until you understand the serie
when it was revealed why was it revealed
the context of his revelation that the
Prophet SAW was facing persecution and
he was wondering why isn't Allah helping
me why isn't the not sort of Allah
coming why isn't the ye coming why is in
the Quran coming for weeks no Quran came
down and the profitsystem began thinking
maybe my lord has abandoned me what is
that and this is early on the first year
of revelation the first year of
revelation and Shaitaan is giving him
bad thoughts and so immediately Allah
reveals what the hell a lady is si Jeff
Maehl wa dokka habla sign of optimism
doha is what what is doha the breaking
of the light right to this day amongst
humanity what is what bo has signified
new day light is coming right so this is
an optimistic sign and Allah is telling
him my word Arabic Oh Mahalo well our
Kira - hi rola come in and Allah be
patient
what's gonna happen is better than what
you're having now right it's the
beginning of the day the dawn is coming
the Sun is coming so until you
understand the serie the surah doesn't
make any sense to you so by studying the
serie the Quran gains meaning profundity
without the serie the Quran
without context you will never
appreciate the quran another benefit of
studying the serum the serum raises our
hopes lifts our spirit and blesses us
with optimism especially in our times
when we're facing Islamophobia we're
facing a little bit of persecution well
I hate to call that persecution is is
even embarrassing when we look at what
the Prophet SAW some in the early Sahaba
suffered we in America are not being
persecuted in that sense nonetheless
times have changed for the last 10 years
and things are happening now we're
facing a little bit of the heat we need
a source of direction a source of
optimism and by studying the Sira we can
understand that the people before us
suffered even more and we compared our
trials and tribulations to their trials
and tribulations and in fact a beautiful
point here the Quran tells us that Allah
is telling the prophecies Adam the
stories of the earlier prophets are
either earlier Sierra's why Waku
Leelanau costa rica
min am bad or ooh silly man with a bee
to be he for a deck we are going to
recite to you the stories of the
previous prophets in order that your
heart attain affirmation it's a bit
beautiful addict we're going to make you
feel more firm increase your optimism so
think about this our prophets Allah said
them heard the stories of the earlier
prophets what did that do to him gave
him more optimism priest his Eman how
about us then don't we deserve even more
so that our Eman goes up and we study
the life and times of the Prophet SAW
Salaam
so the studying of the life and times of
the previous generations of the prophets
of Allah it brings about an immediate
benefit lineThe debatable addict to
resolve to affirm your chest
ie to increase your iman yet another
benefit of studying the serie and this
is something many of us don't really
think about the serie
itself is a miracle of the prophet
sallallaahu idea he will send him when
somebody asks you what are the miracles
of the process and we start thinking the
splitting of the moon the talking of the
tree this that is that and we don't
think that that
fact his whole life is a miracle from
beginning to end his whole life is an
indication that he was a prophet of
Allah
coming from where he came with the
education or lack of education that he
had and yet coming forth with the
message the profundity the scripture the
eloquence of the Quran where did this
come from
in addition to that his patience his
perseverance his success coming in the
middle of a pre pagan ancient
civilization that had no there was no
civilization they didn't even have a
script they didn't have two-story
buildings they didn't have a library
they do couldn't even read and write and
yet the profitsystem came from the midst
of a backward uneducated
uncivilized barbaric nation we're going
to talk about this next week they were
really a barbaric nation and within 50
years within 20 years look what happened
within 50 years islam began to spread
within a hundred years it ruled the
world wow this is a miracle from a loss
of a Noah tada
and the serie is the beginning of that
miracle how he lived the power that he
wielded and yet the simplicity with
which he lived his life the sacrifice
that the Sahaba would have done had he
asked them to do but he didn't and it is
impossible for a human not to be
affected by that power by that luxury by
that wealth unless there is really a
divine sincerity in him a pure sincerity
that this is being done for the sake of
allah subhanahu wata'ala and the famous
scholar even has him from under loose
the famous Andalusian scholar even has a
message that will lie if the prophet sal
or salem had not been given any miracle
other than his life and his times it
would have been sufficient to prove that
he's a prophet from allah if he hadn't
been given any other miracle other than
his sila hiciera
is the best indication that he is a
prophet from allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
and of course there are multiple facets
here his own life and times how he
revolutionized Arabia and how he changed
the entire world from where he came from
a humble origin a shepherd of Mecca and
what happened with the message that he
came with immediately becoming within
twenty years
and then we're going to get to this
point I'm jumping jumping the gun here
but nobody could have ever predicted
that a group would come from Arabia and
destroy the Persian Empire and start
knocking on the doors of the Roman
Empire started diminishing it until
finally it wiped that nobody could have
ever predicted that a group would come
from Arabia with a new religion and new
theology a force that cannot be equaled
with the mighty empires of Rome and
Persia and yet Allah subhana WA Ta'ala
opened up the doors and Allah Azza WA
JAL allowed these group of people who
were less educated and less even if you
like civilized meaning the Sahaba did
not have the type of civilization that
the Romans and Persians did they didn't
have the weaponry and yet allah azza
wajal blessed them because they were
Muslims because they had this religion
so by studying the life and times of the
Prophet system we see his miracle we see
the fact that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala
sent him another benefit of studying the
sila is that the Sira
lays out a precise methodology for the
revival of the Ummah you know there's so
many groups out there we call them these
Islamist groups trying to revive the
Ummah each one has his own ideology his
own methodology well why don't we begin
with the methodology of the prophet
salallahu said him let us see how he
began if he want to bring about is an
honor and glory let us look at what the
Prophet SAW said him did because he
began in the middle of nothing he began
literally from scratch literally from
zero and within his lifetime look what
happened so you want to see a
methodology of revival we look at the
Ummah today and our hearts bleed we look
at the Ummah today and we see what is
happening and where and we wonder why oh
Allah why is this happening and we ask
how can we revive the state of the Ummah
the response by studying the Sira we see
a methodology a plan of revival by
studying the serie we also see the life
and times of the best generation who
ever lived and that is in a generation
of the Sahaba the best generation who
ever lived as we firmly believe at all
the allahu anhu modeled on allah says
this in over 8 or 9 verses in the quran
but all the allahu anhu modeled wine
allah is pleased with them they are
pleased with allah and the prophet
sallallaahu either he was seldom said
that
best of all generations has been my
generation Cairo Almaty no Connie the
best OMA is my Ummah meaning that of the
Sahaba and even Masood said that Allah
looked at the hearts of his servants and
he chose the purest and the brightest
heart to be that of the Prophet Muhammad
Allah I said him and then he chose that
the purest and brightest hearts and he
made them the Sahaba of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
so by studying the serie we studied the
stories of Abu Bakr and Umar the stories
of Una's and jabot the stories of sodom
in Mahad and callaghan's obeyed and we
our Iman goes up as well
these were legendary people these were
people their life and times they inspire
us their sacrifices their struggles
their perseverance their patience each
and every one of them is a role model
for us and there is a another that it
might be slightly but the other concept
is authentic that my Sahaba are like the
stars my Sahaba are like the stars
whichever one you follow you're going to
be guided and the point here is that the
Sahaba are role models for us each and
every one of us of the benefits of
studying the serie is that the serie
brings about knowledge with which we can
defend the honor of our prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa send them the
prophets asylums honor has always been
attacked from day one the Quraysh
fabricated things against him
Saharan kazab they said this is if coal
moved Allah they said he is a madman
he's a magician he's a poet he's this
he's that because nobody can explain how
the Quran came you have to invent some
explanation right where where did this
unlettered Shepherd get the Quran from
even the Arabs the Quraysh had to
explain so they invent the most
preposterous claims they said he's a
magician they said he's a madman they
said he's this they said he's that well
the propaganda began back then it
continues to this day and each one of
the charges that the prophecies 'm was
accused of the quran defends against it
and each one of the charges later people
invent we need to turn to the serie and
defend against the professor sinem in
our times how many people are saying
that our prophet system was a
thirsty terrorists this is exactly what
they're saying they're saying he was a
womanizer he married this he married
that my dear brothers and sisters if you
want to defend rasoolallah how do you
expect to do so when you don't know his
life in times if you want to defend your
prophet how are you going to do so when
you don't know whether these things are
true or not and if certain elements are
true how do we understand them and when
we put them in context then in sha Allah
Allah it is easier to explain so by
studying the serie we will be able to
defend the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
seldom and there is no way to defend him
other than by studying the serum and
that is why the early scholars of Islam
the Sahaba tavaa ghoom tavaa tab your
own they would teach the sila just like
they would teach all of the other
sciences I did not have saying the great
grandson of the Prophet SAW some he said
we would teach our children
maja Z meaning the mahadji is the early
word for cedar the expedition's of the
professor said him just like we would
teach them the Quran you see this is how
they would raise their children Sierra
and the Quran you need to teach your
children the Quran and you need to teach
them the Sierra along with the Quran and
so the curriculum in early Islam was
really composed of Quran and zerah of
the prophet salallahu alayhi wa send
them and i encourage all of you to start
the same with your own children that
instead of reading bedtime stories of
ancient greek pagans for it why don't we
talk about the life and times of our
prophet muhammad's let them talk about
the Sahaba and there are so many books
of zeref for the children that these are
the stories that our children should be
raised upon and listen to and hear so to
summarize the benefits of studying this
year we can say that the study of the
Selah is in fact the study of the best
and the best and the best and the best
what do I mean by this it is the study
of the life and times of the single best
human being who ever lived now we firmly
believe as Muslims that the Prophet SAW
said them all the prophets are good and
pious and holy and the profit system is
the best of them as you said in a hadith
ana say you do whether the Adam AOL
committee while afar
I am the say yet I am the leader the
Paragon a virtue of the children of
and I'm not saying this out of arrogance
while I follow I'm not saying this to
boast this is a factual statement that
Allah has told me so by studying the
serum we study the best person and the
best time because the best time is the
time of the Sahaba the best people are
the people of the Sahaba the best place
and that is Mecca and Medina these are
the holiest cities on earth and it is
the Sierra that brought prominence to
these two cities we firmly believe that
mokou is holy but who believed it was
holy who knew it was holy who cared it
was only until the Sierra came and asked
for Medina it became holy in the life of
the Prophet SAW some of the prophecies
at him said I am making Medina holy like
Ibrahim made Makkah holy by the
permission of Allah I am declaring
Medina to be holy like Ibrahim declared
Makkah to be holy
so the Sierra is the life and times of
the best human in the best era amongst
the best people and living in the best
of all cities in every angle it is the
best of the best of the best of the best
the best person the best time the best
place and the best generation and
therefore studying the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa Selim's life and
times is studying our religion it is
studying the rise of the phenomenon of
our religion it is studying how allah
subhana wa tada brought about the
revolution of islam he brought about an
entire change of mind how islam changed
the world and by studying these 23 years
of the life of the prophet system its
only 23 years from his rosada 23 years
the miracle of the serie will benefit us
in each and every aspect the next
question that arises is where do we
study the serie from what is the primer
or what are the primary sources of
sadhana here i am preaching to you in
memphis tennessee fourteen hundred and
twenty nine years or thirty two years
after the pitcher of the profitsystem
where did i get this information from
how do I know what happened so the
question arises very briefly and not
going to go into too much detail what
are the sources of the Serie of the
prophets of allah alayhi wasalam
who can tell me the number one source of
Serie of the profits of the most the
Quran the hadith is number two the Quran
the number one source is Quran and this
is a source that is overlooked by many
of the people is overlooked by many of
the people immediately jump to is it
even his harp is it even Hashem is it
did the number one source of ceará is
the Quran because the Quran was revealed
during the serie so it's catering to
situations that arose during the serie
and the Quran references almost every
single major incident in the life of the
prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam in
fact even before his time such as for
example Adam nitric acid Iraq that the
reference here is - when he was 5 years
old when the gibreel came and visited
him Adam narakasura guava and Kobes raka
lady uncle the daughter so the Sierra
references every single major story in
the life of the prophet muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa seldom and even
before is there any story mentioned even
before he was born
alum tara kayfa father abu Kabir's habit
feed the us habit field was before the
processor was born and allah mentions it
in the Quran Oscar Bellfield
so the Sierra tells us stories from the
beginning all the way up until the end a
glioma a clan Telekom Dinoco it's meant
to a day come near mati what a little
Akuma islam Idina one of the last verses
revealed the completion of the benefits
of the quran the quran is the best
source of zero for many reasons for many
reasons first and foremost is the speech
of allah so allah is telling this to us
so can we doubt the speech of allah and
the eloquence of the Quran is something
that is unparalleled the eloquence is
simply unparalleled how beautifully
Allah describes better and ordered how
beautifully Allah describes the feelings
of the Sahaba and the Manavi hakuna even
so another benefit of the Quran any
historian will record the outward the
Quran records the inward the Quran tells
us that is to say ridwana wa Litella
or rasulu confuse Rackham right the
Quran tells us that you were terrified
that day that your throats were your
hearts were in your throats the Quran
tells us you became cowards the Quran
tells the one half upon you are scared
that Allah will expose you who can
expose the hearts of the people other
than Allah Subhan Allah Tala
so the Quran is an amazing source of
ceará the eloquence the power the beauty
and in my life the Quran explains to us
phenomena we would not have understand
right
better Allah says in the Quran we will
reveal fella 30-odd a phenomena iike
moon Selene working we sent down 3000
angels don't worry we're going to help
you or hood Allah explained the disaster
and catastrophe her they be enough at
the halacha fatima bina on and on every
single incident the quran tells us in
Malay and there is no source of finding
this out other than the Quran however
one of the issues we never say problems
one of the issues of the Quran is that
of course it's not chronological right
so we don't know the reference of the
Quran simply because baqara Ali Imran
nee-sama EDA are not arranged
chronologically right they're arranged
according to how the prophecies I want
them to be arranged so baqara is an
early Madonna surah it comes first
and if caught which is the first surah
is the 96 in the Quran so it's not
arranged chronologically and another
problem is that a lot of times you don't
see the reference mentioned so allah
azza wajal doesn't mention the word who
do we need to know that ali imran was
revealed for a hood that Anfal was
revealed for better we need to know this
and it's without so the Sira and the
quran go hand in hand in that you need
the cedar to understand the Quran you
need the Quran to understand the serum
so the two go hand-in-hand
so this is the first source and it is
the most prized source it is the most
eloquent source and so on and so forth
the second source of ceará as our sister
pointed out is hadith and in fact every
hadith is one snapshot of the serie is
it not what is a hadith it's a saying of
the Prophet SAS and
and what is the saying of the process of
accept one incident and so in one sense
every single hadith is a snapshot of the
serie but of course when we mean hadith
we primarily mean those that describe
some incidents somebody came somebody
did this happen and so from the hadith
and there are lots of books of hadith
lots of books and the most famous ones
as you should know are six of them they
are called the six famous books that go
to vicita
somebody called them as some call them
uh say haha sit there but that is not
precise because they're not all saya
but the koutoubia Sita these are the
primary books but there are lots of
other books of had either dozens other
books of hadith the third source of
ceará his books written specifically for
zero and the first people to began
writing books of ceará were the sons of
the Sahaba the sahabas children can you
imagine if your father was as a hobby
and he's telling you all of these
stories of the prophets a time and
there's so many you begin to write them
down and of the greatest of those who
wrote was Ottowa the son of a zubeida
adored the son of a zoo bail Ottawa is
the son of the Sahabi the grandson of
the Sahabi his mother is a Sahaba
his grandmother is a Sahabi his brother
is a Sahabi but he was born after the
death of the Prophet system so he's not
a Sahabi his brother is even a sire but
he's not a Sahabi and his aunt is Aisha
his aunt his eyes are the wife of the
Prophet SAS and so Allah is one of the
primary narrators of hadith and fitment
of Seir and of ceará because he has
access Tasha
nobody had access to a tisha he has a
keys a Muharram how she does need to
wear hijab in front of him so Ottawa is
the primary narrator from Aisha and lots
of details of the Prophet SAS on him
come from Ottawa because Aisha tells him
those details and it is said that a
ruler wrote a small pamphlet of the Sira
also the son of man even I found his
name was AB and AB an even earth man
even I found the son of with not even a
fan he died 105 Hydra he also wrote a
little booklet of ceará and some other
booklets were written until finally a
great scholar came by the name of image
Shihab bazoo
even Shehab uzuki who died 129 Hitler
and he wrote one of the first early
treatises of serum now none of these
books has existed none of them any more
we simply have references in later books
of these earlier books
why aren't they existent very easy very
simple reason when later books came they
absorbed the earlier treatises so a ban
is saying my father told me my father
told me my father told me but always
saying is you narrated my father
narrated my uncle narrated three four
people imagine somebody comes and he
takes a ban and Ottawa and other books
and then he says let me make a bigger
book once the bigger book is written who
needs Ottawa and who needs a band
anymore right you might as well copy
that book and realize in those days
there were no printing presses and those
is if you wanted a book what would you
do you would sit there and write it
yourself cover to cover so if you had to
choose one book you would choose the
bigger ones you would choose the ones
with more details and so it's a sad case
for us now we wish we had those early
books but unfortunately we don't have
them but we do have books that were
written in the very next generation very
early and this shows us that Sierra was
compiled by and large even before hadith
by and large because they wanted to
emphasize serum more than anything else
and the greatest I'm being very
simplistic here because obviously we can
go with there's lots of phd's written
about sources of serum summarizing and a
short sentences the greatest scholar of
Sierra is a named most of you would have
heard of openness Hawk see a lot even is
Hawk even is half his name is Mohammed
eben is half and he was born around 85
his around I think about it 85 he draw
which means he's living in Medina he's
born in Medina right this is where the
process of them lived and died this is
where the children of the Sahaba are he
grew up around the children of the
Sahaba and the grandchildren of the
Sahaba 85 his very early right and the
Sahaba lived up until around hundred
hundred ten he drew in a job and others
they died 90 Hitler so it might have
been his help or even is how for short
he met the sons of the Sahaba maybe even
he saw some of the Sahaba maybe but
very early 85 inches when his born is
very early and he began riding
everything that he heard and he just had
a passion for this year so he began
riding everything and began compiling it
in chronological order unlike the
earlier treatises they weren't in
chronological order ibanez house began
saying well this happened in early
Madison middle Makkah this late Makkah
then the Hegira and then he got so he
compiled a very large book and just to
be on the safe side he even traveled to
other cities where some of the Sahaba
had went basura Kufa he went and
traveled there to discover the stories
of even Massoud who traveled to goofer
to the stories of the Sahaba who had
traveled to other places in the world so
he traveled to other lands as well but
his primary source was always in Medina
and one of the best things about
Muhammad ibanez half is he compiled
everything with the chain of narrators
what is the chain of narrators called in
Islam it's not it's not it's not as the
chain of narrators the chain of
narrators is a uniquely Islamic
phenomenon it does not exist in any
other religion or culture so uniquely
Islamic phenomenon and the chain of
narrators tells us where the story came
from because in Islam we always wanted
to verify authenticity we didn't just
pace our religion our superstitions and
fables who told you this who told you
that who told him that who told him that
all the way back to the prophets alive
Salem so we compiled the narrators it
Ben is half from so-and-so from so
Esther from so-and-so back to the son of
Jabba from Jabba from the professor so
we have a whole is that and we know
every person when he was born when he
died how good was he of a Muslim was he
a good memory or is he a poor memory and
therefore we can judge thee is not and
so the prophets of Allah even his how it
began compounding the life of the
prophet salallahu alayhi wa seldom and
he wrote a massive book it was so big it
was they said it was in 1015 volumes and
this is an and he died even is how to
died 150 here so he lived from 85 to 150
very early on it was so big that it was
difficult to copy and so one of his
students if you like came along not a
direct student at the student of a
student and his name was eben hashem
these are two names most muslims are
worth Urbanus - eben hashem right and
eben Hisham his name was Abdul Malik
even Hisham Abdul Malik ibn Hisham
and I mean he sham died 213 hero now the
reason why I'm going into detail here is
that the average Muslim should be aware
of these two source books of the serum
even is how can a Venetian right I know
this is not directly the Sierra will get
there but you need to know some books
where does this hero come from primarily
the number one source is even as hot and
then even Hisham now what's the
difference between even a sham además
haq very simple even Hisham realized
that evidence half is too big ten twelve
volumes so he decided to summarize it
even Hisham did not add anything he
subtracted he did not rearrange he
deleted even Hisham simply cut cut cut
cut lots of cuts he made and he made it
into now even Hisham is available in
four volumes I have a vision for volumes
let's say so they say he made it maybe
into 1/2 or 1/3 of the original size now
somebody will say why did he do that why
didn't he leave it a large book you need
to realize in those days they didn't
have printing press if he wanted the
book you'd have to write it cover to
cover and he realized this was too much
detail and also one of the things that
had been is hawk he was one of the first
people to write a history of humanity he
began from Adam he worked his way down
Ibrahim knew Abraham Musa and then he
made his way to the prophecies and and
even even Hashem said you know what we
don't need all of this let's begin with
the life in terms of the Prophet system
so he deleted the entire section about
early history and he deleted a lot of
other information that he felt was not
that not that useful and so over time
people began copying even Hashem and if
you want to buy a copy of the book you
have to buy sierra eben hashem you're
not gonna find see what which one
even is half you're not going to find
that ok you're not going to find that
because it is now gone missing however
just a side point for the little bit
more interested in thoose amongst you
there was a very very
famous scholar Indian by the name of dr.
Hameed Ola Dr Hameed Ola very famous
scholar and he lived a very ripe old age
around 93 he just passed away five years
ago six years ago Chile would be sick
seven years ago and he was from India
and then he went to France and he became
one of the greatest scholars in what we
call Orientalism or or you know
specializing studying of Islam amongst
non-muslims he wrote book wrote books in
French and in English and he became a
great researcher and Dr Hameed Allah
discovered many manuscripts a lot of
these manuscripts ended up in Berlin in
Paris in London now how could ancient
manuscripts end up over there many
reasons of them is colonialism when the
West came and they started purchasing
art items and they started purchasing
ancient things they have the money they
have the political power and so the sad
fact of the matter is some of the most
earliest or ons we find them in Paris
the earliest must-have that we have is
in Paris and another early most F is in
London and so on and so forth so this is
just the reality of the state of our
Ummah that when they left they took all
of these treasures with them some of
them were purchased some of them would
literally just taken by force
so after World War one after all of this
and there's a lot of manuscripts and
it's not just world one I mean to be
fair a lot of them were purchased so
people when you have pound sterling or
American dollars people are willing to
sell items you know and so a lot of
these items were purchased by rich
businessmen who just valued it as art so
lots of manuscripts and to this day by
the way the majority of early ancient
manuscripts are found in let's say
Germany
one of the most largest repositories of
manuscripts are in Germany because
Germans had an interest in Islam in the
18th century so 'hammied Allah is
obviously a Muslim he reads fluent
Arabic and whatnot so he's going through
all of these treasures in Germany in
Paris in London and he discovered a lot
of manuscripts one of the manuscripts he
discovered was a partial copy of his hat
the Omaha thought a bit his health is
missing and gone the Omaha thought
Hollis there is no Moorabbin his hop he
discovered around 1/4 of Obinna stop and
so he edited it and published it and
when now we compare this is why it's
good to have the earlier sources because
then we can show the people look even
even Hisham didn't just invent serie
he's taking it from in his house so when
he compared even his hat with even
Hisham he found that exactly as if in
Hisham said he simply cut off around
half or around 1/3 he just cut off what
did he cut off long poetry the lineage
of the Arabs so every time
even his help would mention a name he
take him back to let's say Noah had a
hit set up ok lineage of 5060 Peter so
even in sham goes look you know what
let's just go back four or five people
cut the restaurant so when he compared
the two he found yes even Hisham was
accurate in what he did and therefore we
can now say alhamdulillah for sure when
we read even Hisham we're reading
something written around a hundred years
after the prophecies and passed away
amazing what lies amazing far before any
book of hadith because Behati died 256
muslim died 261 and so on and so forth
so even even is hap dad 150 he wrote the
book around 130 or so so literally
around a hundred years after the death
of the Prophet says I'm a little bit
more than 100 we have the majority of
the bulk of ibanez hath preserved
through even Hisham so the third source
of ceará is the books specifically
written for the serum the fourth source
of the of ceará are the books written
about the characteristics of the Prophet
sallallahu aleyhi wa salem in arabic the
word is Shama le Shama in a number of
early authors they wanted to describe
the prophesies amande they wrote books
about his description of course the most
famous you all know this book what is
the most famous Shama Shama
ill tell me the Shahada tell me this is
the most famous Shama Shama adapted MIDI
but there were many Shama is written and
Shama it is a genre of books that deals
with the looks the characteristics the
manners the possessions the houses of
the prophecy score Shama in specialities
another source of ceará
are the
books written about the miracles of the
Prophet system in our be called della
ill is another genre of books della ill
and there are many books of miracles
written so by looking at the miracles
you can extract zero now the most famous
book of de lisle is called de la it in
the bow of a very healthy and this is
around in twelve volumes is a massive
book encyclopedia this is delighted
naboo of al-bayhaqi
and then there are other sources of
serie there is histories of the Sahaba
so people recorded the histories of the
Sahaba by studying the history of the
Sahaba you extract serie and then
finally will mention the histories of
Makkah and Madinah people wrote today
Makkah and Taif Medina and so by reading
the titles of Makkah and Madinah we
extract Syrah and so these are the
primary sources of Syrah to this modern
people have added a sources that were
not found in Muslim lands and this is
very difficult and rare but there's a
new genre of research in academia in
Islamic studies here in America in the
Western world what did the Romans say
about the Arabs at the time what did the
Persians say what did the other
civilization say and what what stories
did those Arabs tell the Romans and this
is recorded bits and pieces and this is
another complicated topic but this is
not the time or place to get into that
but some of the sources that now we have
access to earlier scholars did not have
access to so these are the sources of
the Serie now we begin talking about
pre-islamic Arabia pre-islamic Arabia
and we began by mentioning who exactly
the Arabs were this is a topic now of
genealogy a topic of ethnicity who are
the Arabs that the Prophet system
appeared amongst and this is a topic
that even is how himself begins with the
beginning of a business how is the types
of Arabs who are the Arabs so let us
begin the Arabs amongst you pay
attention especially this is your own
lineage
some of you it is your lineage others
Allah Adam I say this because I said
this because most of the Arabs of our
times they might not trace their roots
back to the classical Arabs so for
example when the Arabs conquered Egypt
the Egyptians at the time were not the
descendants of these classical Arabs
when the Arabs conquered sham and Syria
there were Romans but eventually the
descendants of these Romans became
Muslims and they started speaking Arabic
and so what happened was what we have
now is that the Arab ethnicity is not
what it used to be and I don't mean this
as any type of it's awkward talking
about Arabs when I'm not an Arab so I
mean nothing against the Arabs believe
me okay I love the Arab something that
disclaimer I love the Arabs nothing
against the Arabs but the Arabs in our
times they are not the Arabs that we're
talking about
the arrows we're talking about trace
their ancestry to specific people most
Arabs in our times are not descendants
of those people they have become Arab
through culture through assimilation
through language but they're not now
some of them are so some of them they
can trace their lineage back to these
people those are still this is the Arabs
that we are talking about so the
scholars have divided Arabs into two
broad categories eventually I'm going to
need a PowerPoint but I was lazy today I
didn't do it I didn't hook it up to
broad categories you might have this I'm
sure right you have this right okay the
first of these categories are the
extinct Arabs an Arab and da Ayda
extinct means they're obviously no more
and these are the earliest civilizations
that lived in Arabia pre Islam by
thousands of years
they're called the extinct Arabs they're
just a remnant of history these are the
earliest civilizations of humanity in
the Arabian Peninsula and the Quran
mentions some of their stories such as
who can tell me AD and Thamud these are
two of the earliest civilizations they
have nothing to do with the later Arabs
they're simply called Arabs because they
lived in the land that was later called
Arabia it wasn't called Arabia when they
were living there and as far as we know
the mood is the earliest humanity that
we find in the Arabian Peninsula
we don't find any remnants of humanity
before the mood modern archaeological
evidence suggests that the people of the
mood flourished around 3,000 BCE in
other words 5,000 years ago flourished
which means they existed maybe a
thousand years before then we have
documented evidence of the same mood
flourishing 5,000 years ago and we have
the medallion of Saudi then we have the
civilization of people of Saudi which
was after the mood we have them we see
we can see we can walk into their
territories and we can see their living
houses and their palaces and the people
of AD
all of these people they lived in
ancient times before Arabia and even
Halden mentions that these people they
fled from the ancient city of Babel
Babel was the mother of all cities the
Bible tells us the Bible is the mother
of all cities they fled from the ancient
city of Babbitt when there was some
civil war and strife and they made their
way to Arabia so as far as we know this
is the earliest civilization that we
have ever discovered in the Arabian
Peninsula and that is the more than add
and others what happened to them each
one of them has an own story some Allah
destroyed some Civil War some floods and
migration so in any case all of these
Arabs they completely are extinct and
that's why they're called the extinct
Arabs a lot of el valle de so that's
just a remnant of history the second
group of Arabs are the Arabs were
interested they are called a laudable
bathia the opposite of that either
they're still remaining inaudible back
here
now the audible Ballia are composed of
two categories so don't get confused one
two - A to B okay simple one to one is
allowable by either to allow double
Ballia and a durable birthday or two to
a to be allowable back they are composed
of two tribes two people got on and had
none Pathan and Adnan these are the
Arabs caught on and I'd LAN who is
passed on who is Adnan Pathan is
considered to be the father of the Arabs
his son was named Yub oh yeah Arab and
yeah Rob oh yeah Adeeb he is literally
the Arab father the word Allah comes
from the Arab the son's name God on the
father of the outer so yeah Rob is where
the term Arab comes from now later Arabs
tried to make a verb out of it that they
were passing through and they were out
robbing yeah abu allah knows best it
seems a little bit stretched to me to
take a verb but anyway the name arab
became the base
of Arab and it is said that yeah rob was
the first to speak Arabic now once again
this is what we find in the books but a
little common sense tells us languages
don't just come from one person
languages evolved
so perhaps yeah Bob was the one who
let's say you know began speaking
differently I don't know how you would
say this but they trace language to him
they traced the Arabic language to him
and they traced the Arab race to him
yeah out of the Sun of Python so this is
called the Cavani Arabs Pathan is his
father
now who is yeah Ben who is Pathan
amazingly we don't know we don't know
who was caught on there's two or three
opinions where did he descend from we
all know he descended from Adam okay
hamdulillah but I mean which branch of
Adam right where did he go back to the
majority opinion says that Colin was one
of the descendants going back a number
of generations back to the son of Noah
called Sam now this is something agreed
upon that he was one of the children of
Sam who is Sam Sam is the father of the
Semites all the salmon what is Sam
Semites um it means descendants of Sam
Semite means descendants of Sam who are
the Semites a group of people who speak
or ethnically similar and who speak a
similar type of language the Hebrews the
RMIT's of the old the the Arabs these
are all Semites then the Nabatean the
Nabataeans these are all Semites now
legend has it this is not in our
tradition even though there is a hadith
which is slightly weak hadith is weak it
is not an our tradition is found in the
Old Testament legend has it that Noah
had three sons nor had three sons first
of these we don't know the first one but
the one that we're interested in is Sam
Sam is the father of the Semites the
Hebrew race the Aramaic speaking
people's the ibrahim alayhis sam is the
descendant of Sam his brother
Yaphet Japheth is the father of they say
the Roman race the Caucasians are the
white people's Japheth and then his
brother
and ham is the father of the Africans
but this is legend the Bible says it our
tradition says it there's a life hadith
and Timothy that also says it Allah
knows best this is there's nothing to
contradict it so we might as well put
this but Sam was one of the children of
Noah and so cotton they say this is the
majority opinion Pathan is one of those
descendants not immediate not the Son of
Sam but Son of Sam M that brings back
memories for Americans here not the Son
of Sam but a descendant of Sam one of
the maybe ten to fifty we don't know how
many generations many generations after
Pathan comes if this is the case this
means that cotton and ibraheem
alehissalaam simply come from Sam but
there's no direct connection maybe ten
generations apart or something like this
so Pathan is not directly linked to
Ibrahim another opinion and this is a
minority opinion is that Kevon is in
fact a descendant of ibraheem this is
another opinion Ron is the descendant of
Ibrahim and a third opinion is that know
upon is in fact it is Senator the
prophethood alehissalaam and that's a
very weak opinion and Allah knows best
but the majority position seems to be
that Pathan is not linked to Ibrahim
Kevon is not linked to Ibrahim Pathan is
a descendant of Sam and Ibrahim was also
a descendant of Sam so there is some
type of cousin read between them tenth
generation cousins or something like
this
there's no direct linkage now when did
Don live once again we have no idea but
he is way before I'd none we have to
make it a point I'd nan and katha we
mentioned them together but they are not
the same time
Pathan is way before ID nan so we said
that his son was yeah Arab from yata we
get the term out of we get the language
out of where did they live the colonies
lived in the southern portion of Arabia
the colonies lived in southern Arabia
and they had a number of dynasties and
kingdoms and ethnicities so Lakota
Canada confi Saba is that seven the
kingdom of Saba Allah mentions they were
companies hemorrhoids were Pathan is the
sonnets were colonies these were all
from
from the descendants of part on the outs
and the Hazara in Modena were pathani
these are called the original Arabs
shorn of the Arabic al arab Alaba the
original arabs why are they called
original arabs because they invented
arabic or let's say they spoke Arabic al
arab and adi but these are the ones who
spoke Arabic this is cotton-eyed nan by
Yuna we know much more about Adnan with
his little difference here and then is a
well-known guy why because he's the
ancestor of our professors and the
professor son is not pavani he is AG
nanny
the professor son is at nanny he is at
the descendants of Adnan who is Adnan
Adnan is one of the descendants of the
Prophet is Mary alehissalaam and ismaeel
is not a path Ani he's from this Ibrahim
at a he said I'm right he's not from
that but obviously they go back to the
semi trace so both Pathan and Ibrahim
are Semites
but the brahim al-islam is not related
to Iran as we said they're simply
distant cousins they go back to the same
son of no Harriet setup so we all know
the story this Mary we're going to talk
about it next week in a little bit of
detail because there's benefits and
points we need to understand from the
Serie is my L is not from Arabia where's
he from
Egypt the smile is Egyptian Allah Ya
Allah mystery any Heather north
of Iraq so the Iraqis in arcade Egyptian
says the Egyptians where the Yemen is
where do you want to say no pockets on
yes we get it now it's cold and half
caladiums Iran
Ibrahim where is ibraheem from he is
from Iraq Ibrahim is from Laura and her
is Iraq
Zahra is a rock Abraham is from Iran and
of course Iraq is like the cradle of
civilization
Ibrahim is from Iraq and brahim fled in
Iraq he made his way with his cousin
they say Sarah he made his way through
Egypt the King tried to rape solder and
kill him Allah prevented that so the
King gifted him Raja
so Hodja is Egyptian but lineage in
Islam is through the father with all
respect to the mother but the lineage is
through the father and so Roger is
Egyptian and that is why the Prophet
says that I'm said to the Muslims you
shall conquer Egypt and when you do so
fast also be a highly refined Allah
consulate and what I him when you do
conquer Egypt he predicted the conquest
of Egypt so when you do conquer Egypt be
good to them because you have Scylla and
you have rahim with the people of egypt
and that's from haja so ibraheem
alehissalaam is a rock it's from his
from over and so it's my real ethnically
is not from arabia he is from a rock so
it's my daddy his Salam as you know the
story we're going to talk about that
next week he is left as a baby with his
mother Hodja in Makkah in an area that
the kotani's do not inhabit the kotani's
are down south Mecca is in the middle
central hey jazz the COS ponies don't
live there it's a barren civilization
sorry it's a barren land there is no
civilization it's a barren land and one
of the tribes of God on Jerome passes by
and it's my el marries into the Jerome
so it's Morril is not pathani obviously
he cannot be copani but he marries into
the pot honest and so he began speaking
their language Arabic and his children
obviously are now the merging between
the Ibrahim and Islam's blood and the
Balinese and a few generations down a
luminary appears by the name of Adnan
Adnan is a direct descendant how many
we'll talk
about maybe two lessons from now how
many people we don't know but we'll talk
about maybe seven maybe ten between
ismail and adnan there's like seven or
ten generations so we can say around 500
years 400 years something like this
between Adnan and it's my we have a
hundreds of you of the years so Adnan
comes and from Adnan the Arab tribes
spring forth all of the odd nanny tribes
and the most famous is Parrish all of
them go back to this person I'd nan and
Adnan goes back to is married now his
smile had many other children and those
children had other civilizations which
are not Arab civilizations so there is
an opinion that the Nabataean about
2yoon there is an opinion that the
Nabatean
were in fact descendants of a smile from
another not adnan and then about the you
know then considered them to be another
civilization and another language now
the Adnani
arabs they are called again this is for
the advanced students whose are
interested allowable Mustafa the Arabs
who learned Arabic the Arabs who were
Erebus sized why because Arabic was not
their language they learnt it from the
outer Bell allowed they learned him from
the Arab and a diva
the album was terrible learnt it from
the out of El Arriba and as we said
Adnan was the descendant of ismaeel
alehissalaam and he was the 20th
grandfather we have an exact precise
lineage there is no difference of
opinion amongst all the scholars of
genealogy amongst the Arabs that the
prophet saw Sodom is the 20th offspring
20 generations exactly between adnan and
the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa seldom so the prophets that i seldom
is had nanny he takes his tribe his
lineage from the id9 now the allowable
mustafa actually became better in arabic
than the arab l Arriba
why so and how so because we were
jumping the gun here again but just a
tidbit
they settled in central Arabia and what
this meant therefore is that all of the
other tribes of Arabia would go through
them and to them and buy them and
because they interacted with all the
audible Arriba and because they're
central they began to take the best of
all the of all the Arab cultures and so
after a while a ladder burn was steady
but became more powerful and more
eloquent and became more prestigious
than an out-of-area
and that is obviously why allah subhanho
wa taala therefore chose the prophets
awesome to be from the arab al-mustafa
so don't think there's a type of
deficiency that the process um comes
from was Tali but not added but no in
fact that the most Ali became better and
more prestigious than the Alaba now I
went into a lot of genealogy I I know
some of you are not that interested in
this stuff but we need to understand
something about the history of the Arabs
about the various dynamics between the
tribes about the tensions between the
tribes if we're going to fully
understand the Sira and I want to just
conclude and open the floor for a
question that my methodology for the
sealer class will inshallah be something
very unique and different it will be
more academic than maybe other sealers
that you have heard and the purpose is
not just to narrate stories but the
purpose is to tell you a little bit of
where they came from a little bit of
visit authentic or not because I think
it's very important we know truth from
falsehood my stole my point is not just
to tell you stories that will make you
feel good but to give you morals and
benefits and wisdoms so after every
incident we win a pause and ask
ourselves what can we derive from this
story how can we benefit from this story
especially in light of modern times and
I will try to be very exhaustive as you
know this is one of my specialities
Selah and I have taught Selah four or
five times and this is now hamdulillah
yet another time I'm teaching it and
every time I teach it I add a little bit
and I go more and more because I love
the cedar it makes me very proud to be
Muslim to be honest it's a very really
empowers me in my Islam it makes me feel
that Allah has blessed us with this
beautiful religion of Islam and so I
love to read the ceilin I love to go
into detail with this so it will be a
little bit frustrating if you want to
cover this
in three weeks you're not going to cover
this in this class you know I have in
fact never finished the serie in English
because wherever I've moved years have
gone by and I never finished this year I
was in Connecticut for five years I got
to the Battle of Fulford I think I
didn't finish any in five years I wasn't
able to finish you the same because I
love going into detail and so this is my
methodology I mean that's why I am I'm
sorry I'm not gonna I'm not going to
water this down this is what I love
doing and I'm going to take my time
doing it and we're going to analyze and
dissect the Serie and insha'Allah my
goal is that the serie is presented in
English in a manner that really has not
been presented before because I go back
to the source a lot of you ask what book
do you base it on I don't base it on any
modern book I go back to even is hot
item in Hisham today that enabled by
happening to even to salad a tobacco tip
inside I go back to the original sources
I don't base it on the books that are
written in our times because these all
books are written on based on those
classical ones so you know this is I go
directly to the sources but if and with
this we conclude I open the floor for
question if you ask me one of the better
books of ceará I will say that the book
of somebody who I had the great honour
to study with in my shelf and my teacher
chef Sofia Romano Baruch foody has
written a rehearsal mock tomb and this
book has a story and I just want to
mention the story and I encourage you to
buy it in 1979
wammy the world assembly Muslim youth
Robert an atom estimate one of the
largest bodies of Islamic scholarship
and academics made an announcement that
they want a worldwide competition in
books of ceará they wanted to have a
competition to see which book of Sirach
could be written that was suitable for
the modern place and times and so they
made a competition that the entire world
is can contribute anybody can contribute
a new book in ceará and they would
choose the best one and so over 400
books were written in that one year
because the grand prize was $100,000 I
think which for the time was quite a lot
of money and so a lot of research as
always is a good thing for as good
incentive let's let's try to do this and
so out of these three or four hundred
books or so which written in multiple
languages
the book that won first prize was the
book of hamdullah the shock severe man
my share and it was called a rehearsal
mock tomb which is the sealed nectar got
a heaven mock tomb and it is a book that
is a very simple very easy to follow
very beautiful book it's a very good
book it does the job of the Serie in a
very professional and academic manner
unfortunately the English translation is
just terrible it's just completely
terrible I mean I'm sorry I can't you
know it's really bad the order do I've
heard is very good that the chef was
Indian hamdulillah I have some bias here
home data the share was Indian so he
could read or do so he approved the
order he wrote it in Arabic he's an
Indian he wrote it he never stepped foot
in Arabia and he wrote it in Azam got a
small village so a small village right
he told me the story that he said he
literally locked himself up in his
library for four months just going out
to eat and to go to the bathroom that's
all he went for four months he locked
himself up and he wrote this book at her
hip and matoom and very beautiful eric
was really shocked that his Arabic was
so strong even though he was not had
never lived there and it won first prize
and it's a very good book in Arabic it's
also a very good book in English for an
old do from what I've been told the
Arabic the English translation is really
quite weak whoever transit was not
fluent in English so anybody who is in
an English understand that the style is
much better but you get the facts you
get the facts in in English so my
encouragement to you if you want
something that you buy at a - Mattoon
and there's another good book that has
some major issues we're going to talk
about this but Martin Ling's book Martin
Ling's book which is basically called
the the life of the prophecies and write
the life Muhammad SAW sallam Martin
Ling's book is the most eloquent book of
ceará in English and that's not
surprising because Martin Ling's was a
professor at Oxford on Shakespeare and
he's a convert to Islam he converted to
Islam so he was a Shakespearean alum at
Oxford
it's an animal so funny is an atom nada
means he's a scholar right
he's an atom of Shakespeare yes so he's
a Shakespearean Adam and he converted to
Islam back in the 60s and he lived a
very quiet life he didn't he wasn't a
very public person was a very
intellectual just kept to himself and he
wrote a book of ceará the English of
which cannot be compared to any other
book because this is he is a master of
English there's only one problem with
the book and that is there's two or
three stories in there that really
should not be in there it's not his
fault he didn't invent those stories but
he's not a researcher he's not a scholar
and so he just took some stories that he
didn't really think about are they
critical or not and he put them in there
and so this is the problem of that book
that there's just really two three
stories that are just out downright
wrong and and they can use some fuel and
fodder for non-muslims to to say things
about our religion he wrote it at a time
and place where Islam was not under
attack he didn't really think through he
just is innocent man and he wasn't a
scholar in that sense he was a
Shakespeare Adam not a hadith Adam so
this is the problem but I do encourage
you to own the book and to read it and
if you do then you can download as well
just do a google of you know the
problems of Martin Ling's and you'll
find a PDF or a file which mentions
number of stories that are dangerous
let's say or incorrect so the love story
let's say the process I fell in love
with zeyneb we're gonna get to that
someday inshallah this is just not true
it's a complete fabrication
and I gave it a talk at Yale about this
issue is a complete fabrication
there was no love story there was no
romance going on unfortunately he put it
in there and he thought it was because
he's a western audience so for him
romance is a good thing isn't it you
know for him love stories are good
stories so he he thought this is a good
story let me put it in but that's not
our profit system is it you know and so
and so there are other issues like this
that academically they're not good to
have otherwise the book is superb so
these two books I think are books that
you should own and and and purchase and
and read Anisha Allah as time goes on we
can mention other books as well we just
have a few minutes are there any
questions about today's topic and the
next week a shadow will begin with other
story yes
kind of complete
so caught on and add none add nannies
married into kotani's but the males are
from the adnan i done is from the
children of it's mine it's my it is not
from cotton it's mine is not pathani
right no I've known is of the
descendants of his married at Nan's
seventh eighth ninth tenth grandfather
is my okay but between ismail and adnan
there were other civilizations as well
as we said the Nabataeans whose remnants
are still there from I've nan onwards
this is when they say that the Arab
tribes from Miss Mary began to flourish
so we have the tribe of mother the tribe
of Rabia at the tribe of nazar the tribe
of courage all of these tribes come from
adnan from the descendants of adnan so
all of the arab tribes of is marine not
the arab tribes of our town because as
we said two Arab tribes two groups a
tribe all of the Arab tribes of Ismail
they go back to this one person at none
so ID nan is the father of one branch of
Arabs they're called allowable Mustafa
and the father of the other branch of
Arabs is called cotton and cotton is
allowed of al Arriba okay and we said
Pathan and I'd nine were not
contemporaries upon was way before I've
done on was way before I've done
and therefore when it's my it comes to
Arabia there are civilizations already
there correct where are those
civilizations from from cotton right
from cotton and to this day the tribe a
funny tribe is basically the largest
tribe I mean they there and you know
they they consider themselves to be as
we said that out of an oddity but the
ones where Arabs came from
adnan came there yes from after adnan
than a number of tribes formed after him
yes questions yes from adam
alayhis-salam
